We notice a certain factory in a southern county sending out the results by the carloads. We had plenty of fruit here this year to keep a large cannery running full time and even now Targe quantities of pears, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc. are going to waste. Such an establishment would not pay higher prices than those paid by our local dealers, but they would always have a ready market and it would employ a number of hands as well.

During the past year the Bluewa- ter Recycling added a variety of programs to an already extensive list.Added to the material collection program were empty paint and aer- osol cans ah'd fine paper. An annual calendar is distributed to all mem- bers to inform them of various holi- days and special events offered by the Association and to provide ide- as to assist householders in reduc- ing their waste throughout the year. The Association also assisted a number of member municipalities in implementing User Pay Garbage Programs. The Association's latest program, co -collection, is perhaps its most unique and innovative. A new col- lection vehicle gives the Associa- tion the ability to collect recycla- bles and refuse at the same time.The program, among the first in Canada, was designed to produce greater economic savings as well as environmental benefits. Other prograr.is during the year included chipping 1,022 Christmas trees, operating household hazard- ous waste days at five sites and var- ious educational programs through plant tours, speaking engagements and displays. As the waste management field is constantly changing, Bluewater is making every effort to stay abreast of these changes. Our member municipalities de- serve the credit for this award. Many have participated in various programs offered through Bluewa- ter to achieve waste reduction that in most cases is already above the Ministry's year 2000 goal of 50 per cent. The Bluewater Recycling Associ- ation is a non-profit organization consisting of more than 45 munici- palities in Huron, Lambton, Mid- dlesex, and Perth County providing a wide range of waste reductio - programs to the residential, b ness and institutional sectors. Huron artists open studio HURON COUNTY - Artists from across Huron County open their studios each fall to invite the public to view works that vary from paintings and sculpture to glass de- sign, pottery and blacksmithing. Five of the 12 studios involved in the tour are situated along the Lake Huron shoreline or close to area beaches. Gwen Smithers-Kiar, watercolor- ist, and George Zoethout, photo art- ist, are both located in Goderich. Smithers-Kiar, who displays her works year round in The Gallery in the Garden, is a commercial artist graduate. Her water colors can be enjoyed while relaxing in the gaze- bo, surrounded by perennials, at 19 Victoria St. North.
