the people dont know or care about what their council members are doing fortunately however uxbridge council anderson s neds youf help stpuffvillea town that prides itself on community involvement hasgiven a disappointing response to its only- hockey team left in the ontario playoffs the don anderson bantam team v ti the anderson squad which may have already won their semifinal series against huhtsville depending on how they did last night needs andwantsallthe suppportthey can get from the town vjvthe boys have been playing their hearts out all season and are now on the threshold of bringing an ontario championship to stouffville biittheone major discouraging note has been the pitiful crowd turnout to these important games j the town should take prideinwhat these boys have already accomplished and the best is trying todo something about this apathetic situation with their recent announcement that they plan to take their meetings to local area communities the first stop will be at goodwood 1 council consisting mostly of new members should be commended for what they are doing realizing that the people very rarely come to council the only solution to the problem is to bring council to the people in this way council can meet some of the people who would not normally go to uxbridge for their meetings and oh the opposite side council is making itself more personable and approachable to their constituency f municipal processes badly need exposure to the average person because it is so easy for people to vote then forget about council until the next election with this added contact the residents can become at least somewhat more interested in affairs that do affect them by the simple fact that it will make it easier to talk to council members about their problems in fact it would not be a bad idea for stouffville council to start their own travelling irbad show it wouldbe a simple matter for council to go to other area communities to let them know just what they are doing and the feedback from the people though probably not always complimentary would beuseful hopefully uxbridge councils ex per iment will work- and the people will take the opportunity to go out and meet their garbage litter everyones problern r by john montgomery way to to that is to getfoutto the residents have to icheer thenvon rc 0v that whatthev arerlnincr is fint crninir council that what- they aredoing is hot going everyday when i look out into my yard i see more blown litter and refuse spread about my lawn tangled in the bushes or moving about restlessly in the wind this situationto say the least makes me very angry i live on mill st and most but not all the garbage comes from thestbfes and apartments backing onto commercial st i have complained repeatedly but to ho avail to both councillor june button and to our bylaw enforcement officer willis wideman although my ownconcern is naturally with the garbage from mill st i have spoken to many people around town who have similar complaints and all one has to do is look around to see that litter is widespread the problem is people are putting their garbage out three or four days before it is due to be picked tip and this gives the local curs arid mongrels ampleopportunity to snack and- behind if the anderson team krows spread the debris about town ind them win or lose theplayerswill i councils willbecomeaccustomedto making nobody bothers packing down the boxes probablyplayallthatharder to bring thesl 1 championshiptostouffviller- y v so lets fill thearena forthe game- and show the boys we really do care- decisions without consulting them xa loss of input tothe most immediate jevel government means a subversion through our own apathy our fundamental democratic rights fand other stuff they put in the waste bins and v as a result the garbage ends up piled way over c the top of the bins where it canbe caught up by a brisk wind i am also curious to know why none of the spademen garbage bins have lids on them- 1 have never seen this situation allowed in any other community i walked along commercial the other day arid behind one of the stores was a large cardboard box filled with newspapers that had been used for packing the box wasnt in the industrial waste bin rioone had bothered to close theflaps on the box and in fact the newspapers stuck way out over the top there was a west wind the other night and when i got up friday morning not too sur prisingly- my backyard was liberally i sprinkled with newspapers it is the same story for the neighbours on both sides of me this situation is grossly unfair my neighbours expend considerable time and effort to maintain and beautify their homes and yards yet if they arent out picking upthe litter every day their property looks like the york sanitation dump this -incident- of the cardboard box especially gallsme as theownerof the store is a very civicminded individual is a member of a service club and is deeply in- 1 volved in the centennial activities i wont mention his name this time but beginning monday the tribune willi photograph any such instances and name the person or store responsible i would also like to hear from any other residents who facer similar problems the people responsible will get the public recognition they so justly deserve this situation is especially ridiculous ii considering this is the towns centennial year r and we have been barraged with platitudinous speeches while at the same time showing a complete lack of respect for the esthetics of thetown before i moved here i lived on queen st l in torontos east end and although i keep hearing all sorts of insulting remarks about vj the dirty city the streets there were farxj cleaner thanthey are here the amount of garbage on thestreets of n stouffville as a disgrace and is especially unacceptable amidst all the rhetoric surrounding the centennial l i the recycling- depot committeeare i planning a much needed cleahup of
