On Saturday the residenîs of' Nassagawcya again tumed out to dlean up ail the gaibage on the roads Ibat's tbrown ouI over tbe winter. Despite the cold sveatber and Ibreats of beavy ramn, a stalwait group of volunteers removed a ton of gabage. I'm happy 10 report that some of the roads weren't quite s0 cluttered Ibis year. There doesn't appear 10, have been so much dumping of heavy items, but there still appears 10 be a big problem wiîb the dumping of tires - wbicb required yet another tire amncsty collection by the Region. unei iiuge probiem mat snockeo our volunteers was the apparent bigh amount of drinking and driv- ing on the rural roads, as evidenced by the number of empîy beer. wine and liquor botîles in the ditches. Tbere were more emplies Ibis year than we&ve ever seen belore. Our volunîcers were grateful for the very generous donation of safe- ty items provided by Heritage Safety Producîs in Milton. Tbanks 10 all the residenîs who braved the weather 10 dlean up the mess -Ibe piekers big and small, as weIl as the truck drivers who carried the garbage 10 the dump- sters. A special Ibanks goes ouI 10 tbe Lîttering around town Dear Editor: Well îî s spning agaîn - and that means garbage lime. I can't believe that on ail of tbe on and off ramps, like on James Snow Paikway and Hwy. 25, there's garbage everywbere. There's not just trasb in the creeks, but over in the new section of town wbere Wal-Mart il as well. You'd think if Wai-Mart is so communily friendiy Ihal tliey'd ai least try 10 dlean up bebind the store so il wouldn't look like an eyesore. There aie bikes and shopping canas in Sixteen Mile Creek. Maybe stores should charge a quarter te, use the canas. That way people might put them where lhey belong and flot leave themn for vandals 10 push mbt the creek. Maybe we should have prisoner chain gangs out cleaning up the garbage. Why not? Over where 1 live local îîreîîgnîers Wno KInaiy airanged coffee and donuts tromo Don and Penny Surcon's Tim HorIons on Steeles Avenue. and 10 local busînesses M&M Meats. Loblaws and A&P for organizîng a barbecue afterwaid. As you cao imagine, the bot meal svas appreciated on sucb a cold day. Thanks also 10 Mohawk Racetrack for its ongoing support of our evenl. And again. thanks 10 everyone who helped out. 1 hope 10 see you agaln next year. Jean Woods, co-rdînator Nassagaweya Roadside Clean-up stîli a serlous problem they come and do snow removal from some bouses. Last year I wroîe a letter about going 10 Uic Town. Province, MTO about tbcm possibly biring me 10 dlean up. I was bld by the MTO that if I wcnt 10 dlean up certain aicas 1 could be anrested because it's privale property. Only in Canada, eh? I'm 001 working rigbl now, s0 why 001 have Uic Town hire me at $11 an hour 10 dlean up? Maybe this letter will bclp. So far il's been îwo ycars and no sction's been taken. Hopefully sometbing will be donc Ibis lime. And just 10 lct people know, the Town of Milton is Iooking mbt increasing ils fines for littering.
