Garbage costs,
recycling pays

Martin Meyer
RECYCLING ADVISORY GROUP

According to Ministry of
Environment sources, British
Columbians generate more
than 13 million pounds of
garbage each day.

At this rate, six of every 10
existing landfills will be full
within 10 years. Despite the
acceptance of recycling as a
tool for reducing municipal sol-
id waste, recycling alone will
not allow us to achieve the
provincial government’s goal
of 50 per cent solid waste re-
duction by the year 2000.

A technique which has
gained growing acceptance
over the past several years to
reduce waste is to charge di-
rectly for collection and dis-
posal thru a system of user-
pay volume based waste man-
agement. User-pay systems
encourage people to reduce
and reuse, and to pursue other
options such as_recycling and
composting.

In January of this year, the
municipalities of Oak Bay, Vic-
toria, Esquimalt and Saanich
in partnership with the Capi-
tal Regional District and the
Ministry of Environment im-
plemented a comprehensive
user-pay solid waste reduction

lan.

When Kelly Hurd says his first.

year in professional hockey has
had its ups and downs, he isn’t
being trite, he’s calling it as close
to the truth as possible.

In the last seven months, Hurd
has bounced back and fourth
between the American and
International Hockey Leagues so
many times he’s not sure whether
he’s coming or going these days.

“It’s hard to keep track, I’ve
been back and forth so many
times,” said Hurd Wednesday
from what he hopes will be his
home for a while in Adirondack,
New York.

“Okay, I was in Adirondack
from September to October 15,
then from October 15 to December
11 I went Fort Wayne (Indiana).
Then from December 11 to Feb 6

I came to...well, I just got back

here two weeks ago. Boy, I don’t
know,” said Hurd of his itinerary

so far in the Detroit Red Wings’.

organization.

What Hurd knows for sure is
he will head back to Indiana —
there’s five games left in
Adirondack’s season — in two
weeks to play for the Comets in
the IHL playoffs.

What he also knows is he’s

both chabe:

In 30 games on the checking
line in Adirondack, Hurd has nine
goals and nine assists. In Fort
Wayne he has 14 goals and 13
assists in 29 games.

“Your first year you don’t want
to make mistakes, because if you
make mistakes you don’t play that
much. So _ you play very
defensively. But lately I’ve been
shooting a lot more and scoring a
few more goals,” said Hurd, who
turns 24 in May.

Besides being a strain on wife
Sherri and_ eight-month-old

‘daughter Daryl, the almost

constant flux has also hurt Hurd
on the ice.

“Once you get established and
start getting in a grove, then you
move to another team, it’s like
starting all over again. You have
to build yourself up all over again
to get on a better line. It’s hard.”

AND...

Mi Kelly Hurd’s been up and down in the
minors so many times in this, his first
season in professional hockey, he’s lost
track. One thing he knows for sure though,
he’s having a pretty good season with both
teams he’s played for, and he may be
turning a few heads in the Detroit Red
Wings organization.

Kelly Hurd as he looked in his senior year with the Michigan
Tech University Huskies.

Movement is also a mixed
blessing in that at. Fort Wayne,
though he plays on a better line
and gets more ice time, he is two
steps away from the National
Hockey League. In Adirondack,
his next step is a spot with Detroit.

Originally, Hurd said Detroit’s
plan was to trade players and

open up a_ spot for him in
Adirondack. But the plan didn’t

. come together until mid-season.

“Now they’ve got the players
traded and up in the Red Wings
organization they’re giving me a
chance to play, and I’m playing
pretty well,” he said.

His next biggest adjustment
going pro was the long schedule
compared to college hockey, where
he spent the four previous years.

Already Hurd’s played more
games, with two different teams,

. this season than he did in his

entire senior year at Michigan
Tech University.

Then there’s the business
aspect of the game. In the pros |
players are employees and do as
the boss says — no argument.

“When you first find out your
moving up or down, they call you
into the office and it’s just like,
okay, you’re moving here or your
~ pahaied there so...that’s what you

lo.

All in all, Hurd’s first taste of
life in the bigs has been an eye
opener. His second year, he said;
will be different.

“Now I know what the game’s
all about here and how things
work, so I don’t think I'll be so
blind next year.

“T’ve figured out some of the
things I’ve got to work on in my
game and I’m sure I'll be ready. I
know I can play.”

And with two expansion teams
— Tampa Bay Lightning and
Ottawa Senators — set to join the
NHL next season, Hurd said it’s a’
great time to be a hockey player.

“That's why I didn’t sign a long

year of a two-year deal with
Detroit). You know, if they keep
overlooking you, you go
somewhere else. :

“T’ve talked to a few scouts from
the expansion teams and they’re
always interested.

With a university degree in
business administration in his
back pocket and a family to think
about, Hurd said there is a time
limit to his life in the minors.

“Next year has to be my best
chance. If not, then it might be
just about time to settle down for
