Min- istry of Environment, about 50 per cent of the province’s tin cans are recycled. Tin can waste is primarily generated by household and commercial food establish- ments. Commercial painters and decorators also contribute a substantial number of empty paint cans. The recovery of tin cans from the waste stream is main- ly through community and municipal recycling programs. The recovered cans have two uses: 1) They may be sent to a de- tinning plant, where he more valuable tin is separated from the less valuable steel. 2) They may be forwarded directly to steel producers who can tolerate small quantities of tin in their products. De-tinning is accomplished by treating the cans in a caus- tic solution, after which the tin is recovered from the solution by an electrolytic process. The remaining steel cans are intro- Recycling and You duced into steel furnaces as re- melt scrap. Currently, about halfthe tin cans recovered in B.C. are sent to a de-tinning plant in Seattle. The other half are sent directly to various U.S. steel mills. Locally, used tin cans are ac- cepted at Regional District of Central Kootenay recycles, 519 Front Street in Nelson, Mon- days to Saturdays, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. They must be clean, with the paper labels removed. Use a can opener to cut both ends out; then latten the cylindrical part of the cans. Save them in a box or bag until you have - enough to warrant a trip to the Time to learn how to ‘can’ it depot. Since the lids are sharp and dangerous after being re- moved, take precautions not to get cut. Some people keep an empty plastic bowl in a convenient lo- cation in their kitchen for col- lecting the lids and flattened cylinders in. Then every few days-the bowl is emptied into the storage box in the base- ment without anyone having to touch the sharp edges. You may also put all-metal jar lids into your collection. Be sure they are clean and removed all cardboard liners. If any plastic or rubber is part of the lids (such as bottle caps or home canning lids) then they cannot be recycled at the present time. Aerosol cans are dangerous and must be avoided. Recycling of tin cans is something which could be done in all Castlegar-area house- holds and commercial food es- tablishments. Since only 50 per cent of all cans are currently recycled, there is plenty of potential for increasing this percentage. You can make a difference. Blind skier blazes path to cross-country gold M@ Debbie Bray ready to challenge Ski For Light Glen Freeman NEWS REPORTER Debbie Bray, 34, does more cross country skiing in one day than most people will do all winter. That claim is not remark- able in itself, but Bray is. She has been legally blind since birth. “I do most things anybody else does, so Idon’t think Poet Hartog lines up two-day course Poet Diana Hartog will conduct an intensive weekend- long poetry workshop through the Kootenay School of the Arts in Nelson. The workshop will run from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. March 7 and 8. As well as focusing on lyric poetry, participants will explore the imaginative limits and possibilities of the prose poem and its status as the genre trapped in the middle ground between poetry and fiction. Hartog lives in New Denver and is the author of two books of poetry. Matinee Light won the Gerald Lampman Poetry Prize, and Candy from Strangers won the Dorothy Livesay Award — B.C. Book Prize for Poetry. More recently, a short story of Hartog’s was a finalist for the $10,000 Journey Prize and published in the Journey Prize An- thology.

In fact, Bray recently took the grueling woman’s 30 km course. “Next year we are going to push that up to 40 km,” said Bray. But for the time being, Bray is focusing her efforts on next week’s Ski For Light tourna- ment. The event, being held this year in Kananaskis, is a five- km sprint. medals and one silver. Bray, who will be guided by her friend Olwyn Ringheim, is expected to do well again in this year’s event.
