In the Sunday, November 11, 2007 issue of Amandala, we had published a letter “ Placencia Chabil Mar controversy,” written by a hotel owner who signed off as “a small hotel on the Peninsula trying hard to stay in business.”
The letter writer mentioned that “dump trucks full of illegal mangrove dredge are going by my place every five minutes starting at 5 a.m., back and forth, to Dianne Bulman’s controversial new development that has no ECP, located in the mangrove by Chabil Mar.”
The letter also mentioned that one Albert Loewen owned the dump trucks, which were running material for Ms Bulman and causing big problems in terms of noise and dust for the tourists who used the road, which was already bad and dusty even in good weather.
Ms Bulman told us today that nothing that the letter writer said was true, and that she was just a troublemaker.
“Mr. Loewen doesn’t work for me at all,” she said. “He works for someone else. I have nothing to do with him.
“As to the work that I am doing on my land, I don’t need trucking because I use the same material that we have carefully cut down to fill the area,” she said. “I am not the cause of this person’s problems, nor the problems experienced by the tourists on the trail.”
