IZMIR, TURKEY — REETINGS from your local Turkish connec- tion, I have been here almost six months now, and I am having a great lime, I have had some trouble - though. ; When I arrived at Ankara’s airport, there was. nobody from Rotary to pick me up. Some French-Canadians living in Ankara introduced themselves . and I went and stayed with them for two days before con- tacting Rotary. This scenario was not a total coincidence, because. while being interviewed for the ex- change program, I was asked what I would do if I arrived: at a foreign airport and there was communily trash Bob Ande 50nS says, icking up and disposing of has become avery scrious issue in cities and towns all over Canacla. So it is in Terrace. Bob Anderson and Jim ~ Essy are Iwo of the six members of the city team who pick up and dis- pose of trash on behalf of Terrace residents and businesses, ace moment we pick up both, residential - and commercial waste ‘throughout the City. We're conscious of the . impact our jobs have'on the commu ity. Health and safety are very important both to City:Garbage Crews andl to the residents we - serve.” Bob and Jim know very well that sloppy handling ol-city garbage makes. for had news all around. Whether they are picking up. cans in nobody to pick me up. I am not sure whether this was planned or not, but I have my. doubts. Izmir is somewhere around: the size of Vancouver, with a population of 3.5 million. It is a very busy port. Transportation consists of ferries, taxis and buses. The drivers are maniacs. | There are great shopping bazaars and markets. Before I came to Izmir, I spent a month in. Cesme (Cheshmay) as a summer va- cation. The beaches are wonderful, with great surfing, swimming and snorkelling. The nightlife includes bars, discos, - cinemas and nightclubs. The age limit on drinking is practically non- existent, so going into a bar is no problem. My host family and I are get- | ting along great. I have two brothers — one is in Istanbul for universily, and the other is in Sechelt, B.C. for a Rotary exchange, I am taking his place at home. My family speaks fluent English, so there is no language barrier. The food here is wonderful. Turkish people eat a large ya- tiely of fruits and vegetables and very little meat and junk food, - Although my family is Mus- lim, there are not any food restrictions, Pork is not eaten because it is not popular. Olives, olive oil and yogurt accompany almost every meal. The sirong Turkish coffee is quite addic- tive, I go to school at the Amer- ican Collegiate Institute with three fellow exchange stu- dents. There are 1,000 stu- ' dents between the grades of 7 and12,.J am taking a mixture of Grade 11 and 12 courses in Turkish and English. The watthe | back lanes and side streets, from resi- dences or apartment buildings, or emptying containers on behalf of Terrace businesses, the City crew takes pains to make sure things are sale and clean. If Terrace City Council decides to fully privatize commercial garbage; businesses including apartment «buildings, hospital, and special needs residences _ will have no choice but to use private corlractors for their waste pick-up and disposal. We : know from experience that privati- > zation will result in higher rates, lower wages and. potentially harmful disposal conditions. Once the priva- tization has taken place who will-be accountable?) No one! And who - will lose more money ancl ser- vice? Every tax- payer, renter and business in Terrace, . Canadian Union of Public Employees - Local 201 2 Terrace Muticipal Workers school is private, so we wear uniforms every day. I must admit that Turkey is not what I expected it would be. My speculation of a dark people, women wearing veils and a hot climate were totally misplaced, Very few women wear veils and the people are not too dark, ; It’s the winter season naw and there is plenty of rain. The people are very friendly and made me feel welcome when I arrived, Tam really enjoying my stay and J want to thank Rotary for this excellent opportunity. I plan to return to Terrace in - the first weeks of August. I also plan to return to Turkey in a few years.
