beautiful weather Friday during a
picnic in our back yard. Mexico was
featured at our International day in
the afternoon. We viewed the film
"Mexico Land on Colour and con-
trasts". Residents had opportunity
to browse through many artifacts
ranging from sombreros to pottery,
clothing and pictures. Thank you to

the items and also the ladies auxil-
iary members who helped serve our

Council debate recycling fines
HENSALL - While a blue box
recycling program is set to begin
in Hensall in September, council
are debating whether or not to
make participation mandatory and
to fine those who don't agree to
separate recyclables from garbage.
A bylaw requiring ratepayers to
use their blue boxes was presented
to council at their Monday meet-
ing. The bylaw, which included a
provision for a $300 fine for of-
fenders, was suggested by the Blue
Water Recycling Association.
"My only question is who's go-
ing to watch them?" asked clerk -
treasurer Luanne Phair. "I mean
how are you going to enforce this
bylaw?" •
Councillor Jeff Reaburn pointed
out that since the boxes will not
go out every week, it will be next
to impossible to pinpoint those
households that are not recycling.
Councillor Butcti Hoffman jok-
ingly suggested routine inspection
of garbage bags for materials that
should have been recycled.
Councillor Peter Groot noted that
while some areas have started out
at 75 percent participation in a re-
cycling program, they have seen
interest drop to the 50 percent lev-
el. -->A-
"I think $300 is a little steep,"
said reeve Jim Robinson. "I don't
want to fine some little old lady
$300 just because she didn't put her
cans in the box."
"We're behind it .100 percent.
We want people to recycle," said
Groot, who said the emphasis
should be on cooperation and not
punishment.
Pepper agreed with Robinson on
the principle that a fine was proba-
bly not necessary until a need for it
had been Shown.
Council deferred the bylaw deci-
sion until it can be re-examined and
updated, but a mandatory participa-
tion bylaw is not necessary for the
program to begin on its scheduled.
In fact, such a bylaw may never be
required.
Groot said the boxes are already
in Hensall, but delivery is planned
for August 21 to coordinate with a
Recycling Association advertising
campaign. '
One problem. Groot said the As-
sociation and member municipali-
ties are facingis the unknown fac-
tor of how many $6 boxes will
have to be replaced through loss or
damage. Nor is it known who will
pay for the replacement.
The current boxes are subsidized
twice, but Groot said costs could
rise in coming years as grants drop.
"Then there will be 9 percent
sales tax on them too," Robinson
speculated.
Hoffman, Reaburn and Phair con-
curred the boxes should be the re-
sponsibility of the homeowner,
who should take care of them and
pay fot any new ones.
Pepper said he was in favour of
Hensall contributing 50 percent of
the first replacement box per house-
hold.
"Three bucks or four bucks," said
Hoffman. "It makes a cheap laun-
dry basket."..
On Monday August 28 a Blue
Water Recycling Association truck
and crew are coming to Hensall for
an information session, a ceremo-
ny, and to offer the first chance for
households that have been hoarding
rccyclables to tum them in.
Groot noted municipalities in
Perth are also interested in the Blue.
Water program.
"The ministry has never seen four
counties get along before," said
Groot. "The government isn't in-
volved in it. That's why it's work-
ing," he suggested.
