What the individual can do about
the environment was the theme of a
forum held at the Lucknow Town
Hall on April 7.
The participants were brought
up-to-date on the County of
Huron’s Waste Management Mas
ter Plan by Jo-Anne Ritcher who is
the project Co-ordinator. She said
that there were three R’s and much
effort has gone into recycle. How
ever, more stress must be put on
reduce and reuse. Individuals and
communities can practise the three
R’s.
It was noted that the Blue Box
program which stresses recycle has
worked in Wingham and the Town
ship of Grey. There is no program
in Goderich. Councillor Paul Klopp
of Hay Township talked about the
Bluewater Recycling Program
which includes 25 municipalities in
four counties. It is one-third funded
by each municipality, one-third
from the province and one third
from OMMRI. This plan features
the pick up of garbage at each
residence.
Brian Jeffery talked about what
the individual can do, at home and
on the farm. The group felt that
pop bottles should all be reusable.
Ideas such as garbageless school
lunches for children and reusable
shopping bags were suggested.
Tony McQuail outlined a paper
called “Greening the Party, Green
ing the Province, a Vision for the
Ontario NDP”. It dealt with growth
versus the conserver society, job
loss verses the environment.
Following the forum on the
environment the annual meeting of
the Huron-Bruce New Democrats
was held. Tony McQuail of Luck
now was elected President; Keith
Cleveland of Kincardine was elect-

Coming out of our shell
The time has come for us to wave
our flag... blow our horn... come
out of our shell. Time to summon
the power of the Community Press and
put it to work delivering your messages
as only we can - directly into the
communities you represent.
The latest P.M.B. results have found:
• 8,743,000 adults in English Canada
read a community paper in the last 7
days.
• A “Readership to Possession Ratio” of
97% (95% in urban centres)
• Average issue is picked up 2.4 times.
• We can reach 39% of the adult
population who are not exposed to the
average daily (44% in urban markets)
In fact, one National Daily Newspaper
buy plus one National Community Press
buy will provide a more
cost-efficient reach with a 10%
higher net coverage than a
4-insertion National Daily
Newspaper Campaign.
That’s a lot of clout and
the reason we’re coming
out of our shell. Call your
local advertising
representative today and
find out how we can put you
in touch with your
community, or all of Canada
