A supply of bright green flyers was produced and sent to each town to pass out at events, fairs, libraries and town offices. If you would like more of these flyers, call Dana at Wolfe Public Relations, 775-5115. News releases have also been prepared and either have or will be sent to your local papers with a photo before each collection. Please note that these collections are for mercury products only, not other household hazardous waste. The winning essay also ran in the Maine Sunday Telegram on June 16.
Driver is a senior honors student active in field hockey, cheering, drama and music.
She competed in the All State Music Festival Chorus for two consecutive years, served as president of the National Honor Society and studied science for four years, including a senior course specializing in environmental science. She will attend Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., this fall. Carol Fritz, chair of the Recycling Committee, awarded the scholarship to Ms. Driver during an awards ceremony at Freeport High School on June 8. And although RWS has requested the DEP mediate this final chapter, the state agency has refused. As a result, RWS is now pursuing legal remedies and looks forward to final closure on these matters.
