recycling THE GLEANER Ten women representing organizations in ten of the fifteen municipalities- of MRC Haut St.Laurent are demanding a door-to-door pick up of recyclable materials.AL a press conference held in the Huntingdon Chateau on Juiy 2, spokesperson Christine Roblain of St.Anicet was asking for this selective collection to become reality before the end of 1991.\"The numerous recycling days organized by volunteers in the many municipalities have already shown the population is ready to recycle.Door-ot- door pick up is a simple solution being proposed; one that does not requiore long studies or a big financial investment,\u201d explained Ms.Roblain.What is now being clearly asked is that this collection be done by the municipalities.No more can the mayors of the municipalities tell the population to wait under the pretext of an evaluation of a \u2018\u2019big project.\u201d \u2018\u2019A sane wasle management program starts with a sorting - recycling operation in every household.What follows is the responsibility of the municipalities to assure a sclective collection on a permanent basis,\u201d emphasized Ms.Roblain.To add more weight lo her formal request of the MRC Haut St.Laurent mayors, she explained the municipality of Ste.Martine has already been doing a pick up like the one proposed since June 6, every wcek, al every household.\u2018\u2019It has been noted it only costs the municipality 2,000S per year lo offer this service to its citizens.The collected materials arc shipped lo a sorting centre, \u2018explained Ms.Roblain.\u201cRecycling is the most sensible thing to do as it thinks of our children and future generations.lt is not longer acceptable to load our dumps with our wastes, \u2018\u2019concluded Ms, Roblain.The representatives insisted the elected can no longer ignore the collaboration done by the many different groups to assure the promotion of recycling.They asked if the elected will continue 10 ignore the work done by the groups responsible for recycling operations over the past year.France Maice of Ormstown insisted the groups have given ample proof recycling works, She described this work done as \u2018\u2019a first step and not a permanent solution\".It starts with the voluntary depot, bul waste management must move on from there to more important levels.According to Ms.Maice, a selective collection of wastcs must be done door- to-door throughout the MRC.The public is asking more adamently for the municipalities to get going with its recycling program.Educating the population will be done more quickly with a door- to-door pickup.The pick up is in the interest of the whole territory, underscored Ms.Maice.Monique Desnommée of Franklin added there appears 10 be a lack of political will from the clected 10 move ahead in this issue.Merchants Valerie Furcall THE GLEANER The Huntingdon Merchants Association's summer festival held July 4-6 was an \u2018\u2019unprecedented success\u201d, to quote the president of the association.Much of the credit for the smiling faces of both business owners and the crowds of browsers and shoppers goes to the festival\u2019s Organizing committee.The atmosphere and the docor in the Town was bright and cheerful - everyone seemed to have a super weekend.A modest count of the audience for the Thursday night fashion parade was put at more than 600.Over the weekend it was esli- mated more 3,000 people passed through the streets, picking up good buys, enjoying the enticing display of merchandise offered, and meeting the Smile business people, a the artists and writers.They also enjoyed visiting friends right in the middle of the street.The bingo was on Friday night and Saturday saw the auction of mostly new merchandise.Some merchants were interviewed by Channel 6, 12 and the French-lan- guage network, Channel 2.The point of the festival was to bring the people in the community back and shopping \u2018\u2019at home\u201d.The business people want to get the message out there is a great selection of goods at competive prices.They want people to know they appreciate their business._ It\u2019s pride in one\u2019s community, province and country that is being restored as merchants and consumers deal with the lure of cross-border shopping.St-Paul\u2019s United Church in Ormstown is

Such was the case the moming of June9whenaHowick bride- to-be day and her mother turned oul to support the monthly community recycling.That's environmental concern par excellence! The Howick recycling program has gained increasing community support.The second Saturday of each month since December, André Robert and his family have been on hand toreceive the tonnesof goods that would otherwise end up in the garbage.It\u2019s a twofold saving-cutting garbage costs and reusing resources.Many kinds of items can be recycled \u2014 newspapers, tardboard, cartons and thin

was billed on television as the town fighting back against the fixation Canadian shoppers have with purchasing goods in the United States.The business people were responding with an innovation - a weekend summer festival to bring interest and pride back once again in the community.: Genuine smiles on merchants\u2019 faces in this recession is in itself news.They banded together, put personal differences and competivencss asside, sharpened marketing skills.advertized, and lured 3,000 people through the town\u2019s streets.And the people rediscovered how much fun il is lo shop in the community.Why has the average Canadian consumer been going south to shop?Aside from lower prices on some goods and the necessity lo squeeze the last penny from the dollar, some are saying another motivation is the enhanced customer service extended shoppers in the States.Going shopping for the day is a pleasurable, personal experience shared by friends and family members.The shopper is looking 10 be wooed.They are parting with their dollars and they expect to be walked down to aisle to the desired merchandise.A casual gesture shooing a shopper to turn left at an aisle at the back of the store won't do.Just this one area of extending personalized service is where our community merchants have an opportunity to shine.Whether shoppers do or do not actually received better customer service in the States doesn\u2019t matter.If they cven think they do, then that perception can tale them south for their shopping sprees.Canadian business is fighting this perception of better service as well as the noticable monetary savings to be found south.Supporting the economic basc of our communities needs to be better appreciated and acted upon.Other than the obvious response of lower the prices, has anyone questioned consumers what exactly they do expect from Canadian business owners?The goods and services tax has made every consumer a competent economist - there isn\u2019t anyone who hasn\u2019t Icarned where are the best buys.The national debt grows by 4$ million per hour.It is promised the next revenues from the collected GST, the first 1991 quarter raked in 400% million, will be put in deficit reduction account.Ask anybody about the beloved GST and nearly everybody will tell you averting payment of the tax is a true Canadian - style tax revolt aimed at the country\u2019s leadership.Maybe the consciousness being raised to stop the exodus of Canadian dollars will do more for Canadian unity than all the costly commissions, reports, studies and politicians.V.F.125 years

prepare a report .erection of a new church.This, we think, is the right step taken at the right time, and have no doubt but it will result inthe erection of a place of worship more in harmony with the wants and tastes of that large and wealthy congregation than the one now in use, which is too small and uncomfortable.There is nothing that indicates a people's taste and piety withmore correctness than the house in which they worship the almighty, and now as the country is blessed with a fair share of wealth and taste, it is becoming and right that the buildings inwhich God is worshipped should correspond with that wealth and taste.We wish the people of Durham every success intheir most laudable undertaking.United States The largest Farm in the World .the largest cultivated farm in the world

boundaries amilitary training centre since the latter part of 1940.Hundreds of soldiers march throughout this countryside daily and train in the fields.It sometimes happens that these soldiers march on dusty roads and meet many cars on their six or seven mile march.Motorists should show consideration to these lads and slow down when mecting or passing the group.A second appeal for waste material

Thursday's fire raised some doubts about the safety of those unable to care for themselves.As it happened, no evacuation of the patients was needed, the fire department responded rapidly and the fire was quickly brought under control.What could renovation such conditions in any public institution pass a fire inspection What would have happened had the fire occurred at night, the only available exit blocked, and with fewer staff to evacuate the patients?The construction phase of any building is a time when a fire is often likely to occur.In this case, a welders torch ignited some insulation in a wall.Another have been a tragedy was averted.Onc of my concerns is that the only means of exit from the Hospital are two single doors, both at the same end of the Hospital and both doors virtually beside each other.One of those doors was blocked at the time by a contractor's scaffolding.The fact that such a situation existed should be a matter of real concern.Would Please see page 5

four classic tales.Presenting traditional tales in a decidedly untraditional manner, Nuclear Fishin\u2019 re-presents some of the greatest works of folklore, from Plautus to Spenser, from Mr.Anonymous to Hans Christian Andersen.Using masks to enhance the fantasy embodied in these classic tales and legends, The Princess Brat isimaginative entertainment for all those people who never wanted to leave

cello.But these four homogenous voices are flexible enough to allow a composer to explore his most complex musical thoughts.Many of Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven\u2019s greatest works were written for the string quartet.On Saturday, July 28, at 8:00 p.m., the Renaissance Project will present the Champlain String Quartet from Montreal at Grove Hall in Huntingdon.The players are, from left, Gérald

Saint-Stanislas a fait tout ce qui lui incombait Saint-Stanislas \u2014 La Municipalité de Saint-Sta- nislas de Kostka a véritablement fait tout ce qui lui incombait dans le dossier du projet de la marina devant voir le jour sur les berges du lac Saint-François dans le secteur Baie-des-Brises.Suite à des vérifications légales, il a été admis que les quais de M.Blondin Ouellet bénéficiaient de droits acquis, puisqu'ils ont été construits de longue date.Ce dernier jouissait donc de ce privilège pour exéculer les travaux de réaménagements des quais, tel que proposé d'ailleurs par le MENVIQ après discussion avec le propriétaire.Sur demande, la municipalité a délivré au promoteur un certificat d'autorisation des travaux projetés, conditionnellement toutefois à ce que M.Ouellet obtienne du Ministère de l'Environnement du Québec (MENVIQ) et de la Garde Côtière canadienne les permis requis pour procéder à l'exécution de ces dits travaux.Il faut ici préciser que M.Ouellet ne remplit toujours pas dans ces circonstances les conditions pleines et entières, puisqu'il n\u2019a toujours pas en sa possession le permis qui doit être émis par la Garde Côtière.Réaménagement et non expansion En assumant ses responsabilités et le rôle qu\u2019elle doit jouer dans cette affaire, la municipalité de Saint-Stanislas s\u2019attend en revanche à ce que le promoteur prenne toutes les dispositions nécessaires pour rendre ses travaux conformes aux conditions pré-requise, notamment celle de s'assurer de l'obtention du permis de la Garde Côtière.De plus, l'administration municipale conteste la validité du permis émis par le MENVIQ, alors que ce dernier semble vouloir permeitre des travaux d'expansion de manière à augmenter la capacité de la marina de 55 à 90 bateaux.Il est pourtant bien spécifié dans le libellé du projet qu'il est question de «réaménagement des quais» et non d'expansion.Aux yeux de la municipalité, «réaménagements» signifie une amélioration des facilités actuelles, sans plus.Dans cette optique, l'ajout de 35 cases d\u2019amarrage supplémentaires aux quais outrepasse le cadre du projet et contrevient aux voeux de l'administration municipale.Etude d\u2019impact La SMD met en place le comité du suivi Longueuil \u2014 La Société montérégienne de développement a- réuni, le 20 juin dernier, pour la première fois, le comité de suivi

Pour l'UMRCQ (Union des municipalités locales et régionales du Québec), on envisage d\u2019ailleurs la possibilité de tenir un référendum à l'automne sur l\u2019un des aspects de la réforme Ryan qu\u2019est la sécurité publique.Le gouvernement ne peut impunément bafouer le palier local, d\u2019autant plus qu'il envisage d autres délestages.[ly va ensommede lacrédibilité etdu poids politique des élus municipaux pour plusieurs années a venir, On sait que l\u2019Opposition of - ficielle, par la voix de son chef Jacques Parizeau, a pris P'engagement que si le Parti Québécois est porté au pouvoir aux prochaines élections, il abrogerait le projet de loi 145 et réouvrirait le dossier du partage des responsabilités entre le gouvernement el les municipalités.[1 fau: cependant admettre que la lutte qu\u2019a menée le monde municipal a produit des gains: maintien des subventions Tos Tres fan tres.L APPRET-SCELLEUR LATEX MAT , COUCHE DE FOND POUR PLAFONDS / AU LATEX / BLANC (160-112) 7,09 $ OU MOINS LE 1 LITRE a9$* r intérieur EN se, de la réforme aux MRC, hausse des en-lieux de taxes pat rapport a la pro- positioninitialedu 14 décembre et possibilité de taxer sur les divertissements.En matière de sécurité publique, il sera possible d'organiser des services de police par ententes intermunicipales en régie ou \u2018 par délégation de compétence à la MRC.Cette mesure est toutefois asujettic a I\u2019 approba- tionduministre.Enfin, M.Ryan a également manifesté son in- tentionde réduire de 22 millions $ les transferts concemant la voirie locale.Malgré ces concessions, la MRC Beauhamois-Salaberry se joint au reste du monde municipaletreconnait qu\u2019il faut conunuer à lutter pour oblenir le respect du gouvernement.Le prochain congrès de l'UMRCOQ, les 3,4et5 octobre, sera par conséquent des plus déterminants pour définir les orientations el prévoir une éventuelle modification aux processus de gestion municipale.Les municipalités du Québec sont à un tournant de leur histoire.Dans cette optique, les élus municipaux doivent prendre leur place et exercer un leadership local et régional pour rallier à leur cause tous les intervenants socio-économiques et faire pression sur le gouvernement, dont les députés Marcil et Chenail, face à l'application de cette rébarbative réforme de la fiscalité municipale.Des offres de services sur les pneus usagés texte de Cyril Alary Montréal \u2014 La Société québécoise de récupération et de recyclage lancera prochainement une vaste étude portant sur les pneus hors d\u2019usage au Québec, et c\u2019est pourquoi l\u2019on a décidé de lancer un appel d\u2019offres.Onsait que larégion du Haut- Saint-Laurent fait face à cet épineux problème de pneushors d'usage.On retrouve des sites d'entreposage de pneus usagés à Franklin et à Saint-Jean- Chrysostome.Il y en existe d'autres dans différentes municipalités aussi.La Société québécoise, en débutant cette étude, tient à mettre sur pied divers programmes visant à favoriser, dans cet ordre, le réemploi, le recyclage el la valorisation des pneus hors d'usage.Pour effectuer cette étude, la Société veut retenir les services d\u2019une société-conseil qui réalisera le tout visant à évaluer le contexte, analyser les conditions et établir les éléments de base qui serviront à élaborer les dits programmes.L'étude explique t-on, permettra d'explorer en profondeur chacune des trois options: réemploi, recyclage el valorisation.Les sociétés qui désirent soumettre une offre de service peuvent obtenir le document de présentation en faisant la demande par écrit à l'adresse suivante: Société québécoise de récupération et de recyclage, Etude sur les pneus hors d'usage, 14, Place du Commerce, bureau 150, lles-des- Soeurs,Québec, H3E IT5 ARTHUR RANKIN 264-3429 Agent autorisé de la Mutuelle du Canada et de 2 Mutuelle invesico inc\u201d, deux COmpagres Ou Groupe La Mutuelle |
