r Page 6, Tuesday, Sept. 22, 1992, News EAGER has humble beginnings The Environmental Group Encouraging Recycling (EAGER) began in the winter of 1990 when Rev. David Sparks, former Minister of the Terrace Bay Community Church, Judy St. Don and Brenda Cottrell met one after- noon to discuss their environ- mental concerns. That spring a public meeting was held at the church, and out of that meeting more members were recruited. The members then decided to try to educate themselves and the public on ways they could help save the environment. Members shared informa- tion at meetings, in articles in The Terrace Bay - Schreiber News, and through handouts distributed at the local Fall Fair. EAGER also organized the first Earth Day event, which involved picking up lit- ter around town. This first community pick- up has developed into the Annual Earth Day Pick-Up, and for the last two years, Town Council has sponsored a barbeque to coincide with the clean-up. The public picks up bags at the Tourist Information Centre, returns them full of lit- ter, and enjoys delicious hot- dogs and beverages. This event has been well received, and this past year Schreiber held its own Earth Day barbeque and garbage pick-up. From these humble begin- nings the group decided to try and start a recycling program. This ambitious project started with a telephone survey to gauge the amount of local interest. Once interest in the program was established, the frustrating work of trying to implement a workable recy- cling system began. So far, EAGER has man- aged to get a monthly can recy- cling program going. Since the group is small, the work is a bit time consuming, but at the same time, it's rewarding. Can recycling is the easiest of all recycling to do because HAPPY _ 40TH < UBET _ YUETTE " Alias Marie Stark ONTARIO GOVERNMENT AUCTION - The Ministry of Government Services offers the following property for sale by Public Auction on Thursday September 24, 1992 on site at 2:00 p.m. 14: STEVENS AVENUE, MARATHON, ONTARIO This 3 bedroom residence was utilized as Ontario Government Employee Accommodation and may be viewed on Wednesday, September 23, 1992 from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. TERMS AND CONDITIONS 1.

Cans also require only minimal sorting, and can be squashed manually. The public has been a great help in washing and squashing cans, so as each month passes, the workload for the volunteers gets lighter. Both Schreiber and Terrace Bay have separate can recy- cling days, so the public has two opportunities to pitch in and help the environment. Since the members of EAGER are mainly house- wives with small children, it's hard for them to do large pro- jects, and sometimes we tend to be a bit disorganized. But even though we aren't always in the public eye, we're still working quietly behind the scenes on various projects. We welcome new faces. EE SC<S7SCS~S~S*" Letters to the editor Why did someone cut down tree? Why? Why? Why? Why would anyone take away some- thing from so many people? I'm talking about our beautiful Christmas Tree that was cut down last week. Someone went to a lot of trouble to climb the west mountain and deliberately cut down our precious tree. Do these people realize how many years it takes for a tree to grow as big as the one they cut down? And how about the men who tended it every Christmas season? It makes many of us sad that we won't see it again. Helen LeBlanc, Schreiber To the residents of Rossport The Russian team members of Russian-Canadian-American Superior-Baikal were touched by your truly amicable attitude toward us and by your interest and attention toward life in Russia. Meeting people such as these foster better mutual understanding between our peoples. Many changes are taking place in Russia and we would like you to see and witness these changes for yourself pesonally and welcome you to our coun- try. We also sincerely hope that the initiative on preserving our great lakes-- Baikal and Superior will become a long-term program.
