HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Citizen, 2009-03-26, Page 7Did you catch my error last week?If you attended the card cavalcadehosted by the Happy Gang Seniors,you would have wondered about myreporting that Wilmer Glousher hadwon the afghan door prize whicherroneously I stated was donated byMarie Glousher. Actually MarieKrauter generously donated that
prize.
How many of you were surprised
to learn from an A Channel item lastweek that the citizens of NorthHuron supposedly were very poorrecyclers? A follow-up report givenby clerk, Kriss Snell, disputed thatclaim. Turns out only one recyclingcompany in that area was beingaccounted for initially.It has always seemed to me that
rural folk are conscientious recyclers
or stewards of our earth. In the
second report about the survey,North Huron came out on top of thelist. And those statistics don’t likelytake into account the items donatedby rural residents to secondhandstores, book sales, pop can drives,yard sales and families in need.Perhaps we could all make onemore small change in our discard
habits but on the whole rural people
are doing very well.

that winner.
