Yellow Beanie action

Sparkasse Rhein-Nahe has a tradition of distributing the popular “yellow caps” to the first graders in the business district at the beginning of the school year.

 

In the past 30 years, there were about 85,000 pieces. The reflective material of the caps ensures that the children are perceived better in the darkening season on the road.

 

But the caps alone do not provide the necessary security and so learned the ABC shooters using the youth transport schools and the police doll stage Mainz, how to behave properly on his way to school.

 

Representing the Binger elementary schools this action took place today in the primary school, where since the beginning of the school year are going their new way of life. Headmaster Christophe and Lord Mayor Thomas Feser welcome this campaign very much and thanked Jorge Brindle, Sales Director Bad of the Sparkasse Rhein-Nahe, who had the caps with them and the police.

 

“Always put your hats with the high visibility reflective tape on when you’re out and about, and watch out for the traffic, so nothing happens to you and you’ll be safe and sound at school and back home,” OB Feser told the children.

 

A unique lesson about rescue and a glowing example of students

Show miniatures In Primary School No. 2, there was a Lifeguard Day. It was part of the Reflective School project in which this institution takes part, but it also fits in with the holidays celebrated on these days: October 13 is the Day of the Lifeguard, while October 19 is the Day of the Lifeguard.

 

The firefighters, paramedics, rescuers, members of the Search and Rescue and Dogs Group and the Mountain Volunteer Rescue Service told the students about their work and rescue operations. It was a unique lesson before attempting to break the record in simultaneous cardiopulmonary resuscitation by as many people as possible.

 

As part of the campaign, the school equips its students with reflective vests and is preparing to beat one more record – on October 25. Teachers and students want to create the longest live reflective chain.

The story of the street dog who “worked” collecting garbage

Every day we know the stories of animal abuse, such as the case we made known this Tuesday, in the region of Los Lagos, where a dog ended up with her head inside a bottle.

 

However, there are also cases that are worth noting, such as the story of Luli and the man who rescued her from the street.

 

Jorge Olivarez worked for the garbage collection company Gestión Ambiente in Puerto Montt. It was mid last year and winter was present in the area.

 

In conversation with Biobío Chile, Olivarez reported that one day as he passed by the pickup truck around the corner of Casa San Jorge, an unusual companion joined.

 

Almost always accompanied, the little dog began to escort the worker, who happened to have a connection with what is now his pet.

 

Moreover, he said that his company had become so routine that even a small reflective vest was adapted so that nothing happened to him on the way and thus avoid an accident.

 

By blocks, Luli accompanied them on foot, however, when he was tired he would go alone to the truck to rest.

 

One more of the family

So it happened about a year and the “work” of Luli ended but did not return to the street.

 

Jorge Olivarez said that the dog was fond of him, so he decided to take charge of her. In this sense, the worker thanked the gesture of the woman who decided to sponsor the dog, so that later he could adopt her.

 

Now it has its corresponding chip, new clothes, a necklace with the number of its owners and most importantly, a warm house where to live.

 

Luli became part of the family of Alvarez, who also has two fox terriers and a poodle, who adapted very well to the presence of the new member.

 

“This is your home” added Jorge.

A shining example for the children

Great was the joy when police chief commissioner Manfred attended the first graders of Heinz- School. It immediately struck the children that the police officer had come to school with a special safety vest.

 

Well visible, when it gets darker. He wore the safety vest of the police, which makes its wearer well visible from afar for other road users through its bright signal colors and the reflective tapes – especially important in the dark season. The enthusiasm of the students was huge when Manfred announced that he.

 

In the second week of school, the first graders of the elementary school were visited by the two policewomen Karin and Verona. Both told the children about the dangerous situations in traffic.

 

They also made it clear to children how important it is to wear suitable safety equipment. Each student received a reflective safety vest and reflective wristband which is made of reflective materials. In the parking lot in front of the elementary school, the children then practiced the correct behavior on and in the school-builder, guided by the two traffic experts.

SEMI-NIGHT TRAVEL ON OCTOBER 20TH

The Association of Parents of Pupils (APE) Villefagnan organizes a semi-nocturnal hike that will take place on Saturday, October 20 from the village hall.

 

The proposed distance will be 6km or 12km, the start will be possible from 18 to 20 hours. A hot meal will be served for 10 € for adults and 5 € for children. On the menu: aperitif, soup on the farm, then the suite on arrival at the village hall: hot dish, cheese, apple pie.

 

It will bring cutlery and bring a reflective vest and a lamp. Register no later than Tuesday, October 16, bulletin to be given to teachers with the payment to the order of the Association of Parents of Pupils (APE) Villefagnan.

Yellow vests for children

Security is everyone’s business. 240 yellow safety vests have just been given to the municipalities of the country of Evian.

 

“The goal of the operation is to participate in road safety by securing children who walk to school or to their bus stop in the morning and evening.”

 

The reflective vests were given to the representatives of the communes, Thursday evening, by the board of directors of the local Credit Bank.

 

Now it is up to the communes to distribute them but also to make the children and their supervisors aware of the usefulness of having them in the schoolbag and putting them on during the trips.

 

Free distribution of safety vests on the A6 motorway

The Association Attitude Prevention, created by insurers, will distribute free safety vests for adults and children on highways areas of the A6 this autumn.

 

When will these safety vest distribution take place?

7 out of 10 parents check that they have a safety vest, safety equipment (spare wheel, anti-puncture kit…) and a warning triangle. On the other hand, they are only one-third to possess a vest adapted to the size of their children.

 

In children, the wearing of the safety vest is still little known. Indeed, they are only 45% to know that it is necessary to put one out of the vehicle in case of accident or breakdown.

 

The association Attitude Prevention will therefore take advantage of departures on autumn to meet motorists. It will distribute safety vests free to young and old.

The move to the incentive fee is approaching

The move to the incentive fee is approaching. Redon Agglomeration is preparing by distributing, by the end of the year, new bins, which signify the end of the yellow bags.

 

Why? How?

 

Why is Redon distributing new bins?

 

Because the move from the garbage collection tax (TEOM) at the incentive fee (IR) is approaching. Specifically, it will allow a more equitable pricing, because proportional to the service rendered, rather than the rental value of the home. For this, Redon Agglomeration changes its mode of collection.

 

This will allow him to publish a blank bill from 2019, to raise awareness. The first “real” bill of the incentive fee will be distributed in 2020.

 

How does the new system work?

For the moment, only the collection service (and not its pricing) is evolving. By the end of the year, residents of Redon will each receive a new bin for garbage, but also a new bin, which replaces the yellow bags. The latter will no longer be used since it will be necessary to put the packages in bulk in the yellow bin.

 

The size is adapted according to the number of inhabitants: for example, for one person, the gray bin will have a capacity of 120 liters and the yellow of 140 liters. For groups (7 people and more), two bins will make 660 liters.

 

When will these bins arrive?

The town of Sainte-Marie is the first to receive these new bins. Then, the others will follow. To distribute them, the agglomeration community mandated the ACP society, which recruited about twenty ambassadors (photo).

 

They will go to several thousand addresses, up to three times, between 11 am and 7:30 pm, Tuesday through Friday, or Saturday, 9 am to 2:30 pm. It will be necessary to make an appointment since, when everyone will be equipped, the old bins and yellow bags will not be collected any more.

 

Why take ambassadors?

Equipped with a yellow reflective vest and a guide to good practices, they will be able to answer residents’ questions about the new collection. Because it is not that the trash can change, but what can be put in it. Thus, the yellow bin will welcome all packaging, without exception. Including pots, trays and plastic film.

 

This will lighten the gray trash. “This is the culmination of our work to improve sorting and reduce our impact on the environment, while controlling costs,” says Yvonne Maher, vice president of waste at Redon agglomeration.

 

And the collection days?

To adapt to the implementation of individual bins, schedules and collection days will be modified to adapt to this new operation. Starting October 1st, a collection calendar will be placed in each mailbox.
