vol 103 no 3 a metroland community newspaper- wednesday january 17 1990 36 pages- 50 cents j sundays okay for sales barn tracy kibble staff reporter whitchurchstouffville politicians gave the okay for stouffville auction barns to open sundays but its bid to exclude national sports in the exemption plea was voted down 32 i support stouffville stockyards sunday opening because most stores are more of a tourist attraction rather than an actual business national sports is not a tourist attraction thats my only problem with it said ward 5 councillor doug alles ward 2 councillor ron robb said he takes out-of- town friends to the flea market and added his family would go there before we would go shopping on main st and although ward 6 coun cillor jim sanders votes for a free choice for sunday open ings he said he resents the province handing the issue to the municipalities to deal with stores and people should decide whether they want to open or shop but to put this down to the municipalities to deal with means that bit by bit everything will be open but councillor sanders ad ded it is unfair for the flea market be allowed to open when others cant and noted sunday is traditionally a uiet time in whitchurch- touffville it should be made a private decision how people spend their day of rest mr sanders added ward 1 councillor margot marshall said in europe sun day shopping is a nono stores even close satur days at 1 pm in europe she offered although a motion to ex clude the national sports opening seven days a week was lost council voted to set a limit of 2400 sq ft for each

would regulate the store sizes to 2400 sq ft to deter large businesses from trying to open there in future the decision still must go the regional council before the exemption becomes final events vfind out whats happening in town in our calendar seepages f despite problems in metro local recycling effort not a flop tracy kibble staff reporter the blue box recycling program in whitchurchstouffville is a bet ter program and is more successful than metros program said town engineering coordinator paul whitehouse in an interview tuesday although there are no dollar figures yet available mr whitehouse calculates the town is already diverting 15 per cent of its recyclable materials away from the dump reacting to a december comment by metro councillor howard moscoe who said the metro and north york recycling program is a flop mr whitehouse said that is not the case here our program is not a flop metros problem is due to an improper program they use regular garbage compactors and they dont separate their glass he said whitchurchstouffville separates its glass right on the curb and the companies who buy the glass give us a better dollar return because of that he said all whitchurchstouffville recyclable material is taken and weighed at the richmond hill depot along with newmarket and east gwillimbury the materials are then marketed to ontario and quebec paper and ink it didnt make sense for every area municipality to have separate depots the engineering coordinator said although people sometimes get upset when items are not accepted he maintains the careful and precise separation is the key to the programs success just one chunk of ceramic in a truck full of glass could reject the whole batch and thats why metros program needs polishing he said it really helps to do the curbside sorting spademan and the residents and doing a really good job and it helps although mr whitehouse said the market dictates to us now he predicts time to include schools and apartments and to implement a composting program will put the municipalities on top recycling has never been a money making scheme its more of an environmental service the revenues comeback from some of the materials sold and this offsets the operating costs in richmond hill mr whitehouse said the glass sorting is the only way to a suc cessful program like in whitchurchstouffville and although sometimes frustrating it really has helped stouffville woman still listed as critical fortyyearold christine burns of stouffville remains in critical condition at
