At last week's monthly meeting, recycling commit- tee chairman Pat Arm- strong said "individual participation in the recycl- ing program is up by 300 per cent since January 1987." "We've had tremendous growth since last year," said Armstrong. He added that since Penetang and many other areas started getting week- ly pick-ups of their blue recycling bins, the phone has been ringing off the hook. "The bins are going quite Seeing for himself Midland Parking Authority member Ray McLarney* fast," said Armstrong. His comments were echoed by recycling pro- gram manager, Liz Downer. "Now that we're doing it weekly, we're get- ting 20 to 30 calls a day from people saying, 'Now I will join.' " The recycling program costs an_ estimated $114,000 a year, which is covered by a provincial government grant. However, grant money is scheduled to stop coming in by 1989. | | | | | | I | | that | | | The NSWMA now picks | up recyclables on a week- | ly basis in Midland, | Penetang, Port McNicoll | and most of the part of Tay | Township north of | | | | | | | | | | | Midland. accompanied Authority employee Brenda Caley recently when she collected money from parking meters.

He popped up as soon as the cameras stopped rolling, with only a minor injury to the end of a finger. Trees should be saved, - say residents Three angry residents hounded Port McNicoll council last Wednesday night over planned con- struction of a road - and destruction of some trees - on their street. Over the years, Silver- birch Crescent in Port McNicoll gradually '"'mov- ed over" to the point where it was 10 feet over a private property line. Every year when the road was treated and snowplowed, workers inched it over, council reported at the previous meeting. To correct the situation the village planned on moving the road back and making culverts on each side. The plan called for a number of trees to be cut down, which angered some residents who felt that was not necessary. CLIP AND wee THIS HANDY GUIDE "The building of the ditch will move the road over 10 feet too much," argued resident John Rose. But councillor Pat Arm- strong countered saying, "we are moving the road to where it rightfully should have been." But Rose said the ditch was not necessary, and 12 trees could be saved by not having one. But the Deputy-Reeve, Ross Cameron, said "I've lived in town for 20 years and I dare say I've seen a water problem there." However, Reeve John Moreau said he would per- sonally take a look at the area involved and "'if it does look like there's a possibility of saving those trees, we may do something about it."'
