More and more often the residents of Lower Silesia villages claim for damages connected with the activities of quarries. Some organised protests also happen. The most troublesome quarries are in Lesna (basalt mine), Karpniki and Stara Kamienica. The owners show their permissions and seismological analyses which say that there are no reasons to protest. Local authorities are also trying to solve the problem. For commune authorities each investor, even the troublesome one, means new jobs. For example, the mine in Lesna employs 50 people.

12th General Congress |
The 12th General Congress of The Employers Association of Stone Industry is now a thing of the past. This time, according to the new formula, it was an away event. Baranow Sandomierski was chosen and, we must admit, it was a great choice. According to the agreement settled during the 11th General Congress, the stonemasons meet not only to discuss various important problems but also to learn more about different centres of stone industry in Poland. The previous congress took place near Lwowek Slaski - one of the most important places in Poland associated with sandstone mining. This year the Board decided to choose the castle in Baranow Sandomierski. A distinguished Renaissance residence built by Leszczynscy family ideally suited the meeting whereas Swietokrzyskie region with its rich mining history created a perfect background for the congress. The agenda was varied.
