Great article, great quotes:

• What was to be the largest quarry in Canada is now a lesson in humility
• the biggest take away from the Melancthon quarry debate — those who opposed the quarry won by making it a personal issue to a larger audience.
• 
  The whole affair can be seen as a win for the "lawn-sign protesters" who opposed the quarry without resorting to angry foot stomping and vitriolic threats
• Sylvia Jones, provincial representative for the region, congratulated residents for running a strong and coherent grassroots campaign against the quarry.
