Show Page Millard County 2 - USPS Thurs Sept ffimnmenta With the rash of “Letters to the Editor” we have been having lately it really tightens up the page and squeezes most everything else off the page But we welcome the letters and I think they liven up the paper a bit And by the way if you want to plug a political candidate in the column Don’t - because we have decided not to give free space this year If you care enough to support a candidate buy an ad 8 Dear Ms Best: 1988 letters By And speaking of money check the billings you have been receiving from us for ads and printing If they are in the overdue column expect to become part of the “Small Claims” process September has been designated by the office to get accounts up to date A suggestion was made to me once to just print the list of overdue accounts in the paper and save the cost of mailing bills It’s a thought above) Insert it 1: in those Ed MacMahon “ letters Nobody will ever see it J: Just don’t make it in the first place residents of Millard County In view of the fact that my misposition on the quoted “unconcerned” possible Lynndyl siting of a hazardous waste facility seems to be of great concern to many people I would like to make the following statement: feel the foremost responsibility of a Representative of the people is to keep an open mind on ANY issue until the facts are in before any decision is made I also feel a prime responsibility of a Representative is to help to see that all the facts are available to and so too the before they people brought may make decisions based on correct knowledge In keeping with this policy arranged (over a month ago) for the in the open meeting held on Sept DHS auditorium attended by the most knowledgeable men in the state in the area of hazardous waste and related whereby this problems (Hardly goal could be accomplished the actions of an “unconcerned” representative) further feel that AFTER this orderly process has been carried out and the will of the people is made known after they loo have received the FACTS and hopefully made their decision basit is the further ed on knowledge responsibility of a Representative to REPRESENT the people according to INTEND TO THEIR desires THIS DO! It is evident to me after the information exchanged by the large crowd in attendance at the Sept meeting and more specifically by the well over 000 names of West Millard County residents signed on the petitions handed to me at the conclusion of the meeting that it is the will and desire of the people that the siting in Lynndyl not be made therefore pledge my CONTINUED support of what YOU the residents of West Millard desire and will CONTINUE my efforts to see that these desires are carried out In keeping with this pledge I have already arranged a special appointment with the Governor to insure that no permits will be issued or “short cuts” made in the lengthy process of siting Joseph M Moody K: Keep in mind the first two symptoms of excessive exposure to toxic elements are memory loss and I forget the other L: Let those who maketh the stuff useth it for fertilizer for their vegetable gardens and eateth thereupon Maybe chemical company will become a fad M: Mail it to the state Bureau of Hazardous Waste It’ll never get there and if it does they’ll never open it and if they do they’ll never know what it is N: Nominate it for Vice President The national media will grind it immediately into harmless mush O: Open up a toxic waste souvenir stand It worked for Mount St Helens P: Push for a change in the laws that define hazardous waste so that nothing is defined as such They made catsup a vegetable for school lunchroom purposes that way If nothing is hazardous then by definition we no longer have a problem Right? Q: Quintuple the amount of money it costs to dump the stuff here R: Recycle it like they do with paper old pop bottles and cans and Alfred Hitchcock films S: Seal it up in those disposable plastic garbage bags the ones Jonathan Winters advertises on TV That should do it (See G above) T: Tease it about it’s silly haircut and until it leaves town in bowtie embarassment U: Under no circumstances consider an acceptable alternative house my No way V: Yeah how about Vermont Vermont?

For an area that wants to attract dustry and tourists this service is vital When we try to sell our area to prospective residents and industry as a good place to live how does it sound to say that we are on the main line of the railroad but we have no passenger service Amtrak won’t stop here In order to get Amtrak to stop here several years ago a shelter had to be built small as it is Amtrak only stops now if there is a passenger to get on (by advance reservation) or if a passenger gets off Don’t let our community lose this transportation Without option passenger train service to West Millard we are an isolated small rural area To this termination of service protest write: Alex Langston AMTRAK Office of Customer power technical assistance and contribute many dollars annually to comProbably the most munity projects notable one being their tremendous assistance in our annual Hazardous Waste Day” Project Not Inc a very active only is RES member of our “CAER” Team but they continue to be very active in our “Local Emergency Planning Committee” work Further there has been no reports of accidents spills leaks or shutdowns from RES Inc or has there been any reports from the Environmental Protection Agency that has had an impact on our city For the City of Deer Park RES Inc has been a good industrial neighbor and they do what they say they will do In order that you may contact others familiar with RES Inc operations I’ve listed below two neighboring industries that can give you further formation as they see RES Inc’s role in our community Mobay Chemical Corp West Bay Road Baytown Texas 77520 Attn: Harry Heinlein General Supervisor Environmental Control Rohn & Haas - Texas PO Box 672 Deer Park Texas 77536 Attn: Joe S Foster Plant Manager I appreciate your writing and giving me the opportunity to tell you about RES Inc Please feel free to call on me if I can be of further assistance to you and your community Jimmy Burke Mayor City of Dew Park pollution in the air more poison in the ground and water And not giving a (damn) about their neighbor’s as long as they are making the all mighty dollar And as far as Delta is concerned they are like kids because they did not get what they wanted A few people in Delta think they are so high and mighty they are telling us! Rollins should go elsewhere Because when Rollins comes to Lynndyl they Leamington Oak City and Delta will not be able to act high and mighty over the people of Lynndyl Lynndyl people will have more say over things that go on in Millard County So it is up to you people of Lynndyl town to get up stand on your own two feet and tell the rest of them to go to (hell) We are going to have the Rollins Plant here because we want it and need it These are my own words Lynndyl what are you going to do?
