Katie Rizer,
executive director of the Coffee Creek Watershed Conservancy, is
appreciative of the grassroots effort of a group of neighbors to “save”
Molly’s Hill, that is, to raise funds enough to purchase the hill located
just south of Phillips Pond and preserve it in perpetuity from development.
But Rizer wants
folks to know that a press statement released by the neighbors--and
subsequently run on the front page of Wednesday’s edition of the
Chesterton Tribune--was incorrect on two material points.
First, the Lake
Erie Land Company does not--repeat, does not--own the parcel in
question. The title to that property is actually held by CPG Holding LLL in
Illinois, Rizer informed the Tribune.
And second, should
anyone wish to donate money to the cause, send it to this address: Coffee
Creek Watershed Conservancy Inc., PO Box 802, Chesterton, IN 46304. The
address listed in the neighbors’ press statement was wrong, Rizer said.
