~ Thanks }

Dear Sir,

i think the time has come to
say thank you to the organizers,
the doers and all of the board of
directors who made the Twin
River Estates housing complex a
reality, .

They have striven to get this
project off the ground and have
seen the results of all of their
voluntary labor and energy.
They have a great deal for
which they can be-proud:

This was not done without
trials and tribulations. There
have been a lot of doors slamm-
ed, blockages, and disappoint-
ments, But being the determin-
vd people that they are, they
persevered and we now have a
housing complex of which any
city can be proud.

This oculd not have been
done without some controversy
now and then, but because of
the foresight of the people in-
volved this has not been a deter-
rent. Pioneering in anything has
uever been an easy job.

Now that phase I] is nearing
completion, I’m sure there will
be more problems, both serious
and minor. But we hope in
working together they can be
resolved.

Again, many citizens join me
in expressing our thanks to all
Hoard members of this Twin
River Estates complex, past and
present.

Yours Truly,

Bettye Crosina,

Every

Did you know that... about
half of the garbage we throw
away is packaging. What a
waste! Extra packaging is a
waste of space in overflowing
iandfills and a waste of our
limited natural resources.

[t is time to get package-wise
when we grocery shap. Avoid
over-packaged items. If you
cannot recycle or reuse the
package, consider another
brand or form of the food in an
acceplable package.

Recycle.
packages ‘are these: made of
paper, cardboard, glass and
alummum or tin, Tetra packs
are multi-layered and can’t be
recycled.

‘two types of plastic con-
tainers are.currently recyclable:
Soft drink battles and plastic
milk jugs. Most stores already
aceept soft drink bottles. Plastic
milk jugs are slarting lo be col-
iected in some area,

Plastics used to make clear
containers, such as those used in
bakeshops and delis, bottles for
oil, ketchup and mineral water,
and styrofoam are nol readily
recyclable -- they may be col-
lected, but will end up being
stored somewhere,

GOOD FAMILY DINING AT

Trirace Standard, Wednesday. October 3, 1990

Vanishing housewives are
answering call of wilds

Welcome to Around Thor-
nhill,

It seems that around this time
of year the wives not only think
about fall cleaning and taking
the winter clothes out of
storage, They also dream of
dollar signs!

They finally have found
something they not only enjoy
doing while getting plenty of ex-
ercise and fresh air, but also get
paid for it as well.

The elusive mushroom seems
to be beckoning — “Come find
me, come find me’’ to

‘housewives everywhere. It used

to be you could phone someone
up, say you’re going to drop
over for coffee and be welcom-
ed with open arms.

Not so in mushroom season!

‘Sorry, no time for coffee.
Gotta clean house, get supper in
the crockpot and off to...mum-
ble, mumble,..to pick
mushrooms. Maybe next week.
Bye.”

I happened to be passing All
Seasons Sports store the other
day and saw some photographs
in the window. They were dig
and bright and, on closer in-
spection, I discovered they were
of my cousins and their two lit-
tle girls.

They were taken at Ferry
Island last fall when all the col-
oured leaves had fallen.

_ 1f you use plastic and -paper
bags, save them. Some stores
recycle them. If not, at least
reuse them.

Reuse — why buy plastic
sandwich bags when you can get

- them for fr@e?” Plastic, yogurt’

and margarine tubs are great for
storing leftovers or packing lun-
ches in. Paper bags can be used
to wrap parcels for mailing.
Glass jars are attractive con-
tainers for foods purchased in
bulk.

Reduce plastic wraps
and/or waxed paper are pro-
bably found in every household.
They ‘can be replaced with
reusable plastic conlainers and
glass jars. For microwave cook-
ing, use glass lids instead of
plastic wrap.

Avoid individually wrapped
ilems, Buy food in large con-
tainers and refill a reusable
small container for daily use.

Try a block of cheese instead of
individually wrapped slices. Br-
ing your own container and buy
in bulk.

These changes may seem
‘small, , but
residents adopl them,
and a statement to companies
and stores who provide ex-
cessively packaged food. An in-
dividual can make a world of
difference,

You have heard of the three R -
