3| The IFP -H alton H ills | T hursday,A pril 5,2018 theifp.ca Former Georgetown music teacher Dale Wood has cancelled an upcoming show after being charged with three counts of sexual assault and one charge of sexual interference. The alleged incidents date back to the 1980s, and involve students whom Wood taught private sing- ing lessons in his home. Wood was slated to put on a fundraiser concert called "Because of You," on April 8 at Knox Presbyteri- an Church. It was sup- posed to be a thanks to Georgetown Hospital staff who took care of him last year. "We were advised by Mr. Wood that he was cancel- ling the concert," said San- dra Taylor, of the George- town Hospital Foundation, a third party organization working with Wood to help organize the event. The hospital founda- tion refunded the tickets that were sold. Wood was released on recognizance. He is expec- ted to appear in court on April 23. NEWS Retired music teacher facing child sex abuse charges cancels fundraiser concert ALEXANDRA HECK aheck@metroland.com Halton Region is giving residents a little more wiggle room when it comes to recy- cling, by updating its blue box program. The changes, launched on April 2, are giving residents more options and allow- ing them to recycle more products. Here are five things you need to know about the blue box recycling enhance- ments: Halton residents can now recycle plas- tic bags. Along with plastic bags, residents will be able to include plastic wrapping, such as that which typically packages toilet pap- er rolls. Residents will not be restricted to solely using their blue bins. Residents will have the option to leave their recycling in blue bins, clear plastic bags or a combination of the two. There are no limits to the number of bags or bins each resident can place outside for collec- tion. There is a correct way to recycle plastic bags. When using a blue bin, plastic bags and plastic wrap must be placed in a separate bag, prior to combining with other recycla- bles. Recyclables should be rinsed. All recycling products must be clean and dry prior to being placed out for collec- tion. Check your bags before recycling. When recycling plastic bags, check in- side. Make sure they are free of any items such as receipts or cardboard.
