A6 Castlegar News July 24; 1991 © By MARTIN MEYER Recycle Advisory Group There has been a signifi- cant increase in the usé of hazardous commodities with- in our society since the early 1900s. We routinely use these materials in all aspects of our lives, both in industry and in our homes. These dangerous goods have been classified as materials which are explo- sive, compressed gases, flammable and combustible liquids, substances liable to spontaneous combustion, oxi- dizing substances, poisonous materials, corrosive liquids, radioactive materials, and more. Some of these materials are commonly.used in our homes and include many paints, stains, solvents, clean- ing agents, batteries, liquid fuels, aerosols, lubricants and chemical sprays for gardens and trees. As we consume more and more hazardous materials, we produce correspondingly more hazardous wastes. These haz- ardous wastes do not properly belong in our community landfill — the Ootischenia dump. In some cases _they are dangerous to the people who may have to handle them, now and in the future. In some cases they pollute the groundwater system and may even find their way into the food chain. Hazardous waste disposals slated As our society becomes more aware of the problems related to hazardous wastes, we have slowly developed alternatives to simply dump ing these wastes into our landfills. Fortunately, we now have an alternative in the Castle gar. area for disposal of such materials. B.C, Hazardous Waste Management Corp will be sponsoring several opportunities for area people to drop off hazardous wastes at a depot locatéd at 91’ Gov- ernment St. in Nelson (near Maglio Building Supplies) from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the following days: Aug. 11 and 12; Oct. 11 and 12; Dec. 8 and 9; and Feb. 9 and 10. Householders will be served on a drop-in basis, and may drop materials free of charge. Small businesses and pub- lic agencies are asked to call the corporation’s Victoria office at 384-5342 to arrange drop-off appointments, and will be charged a fee for the service. The depot will accept all classes of dangerous goods except explosives, radioac- tives and biomedical wastes. Lead-acid batteries, used propane tanks, waste oil and antifreeze will be accepted. Wastes should be securely and Safely contained in leak- proof containers, preferably the original container. Wastes are not to be mixed Red Cross appeals for flood victims The League of Red Crosss has launched an _ international appeal for $4.25 million to assist victims of the massive flooding in China, which has left two mil lion people homeless. In addition to the homeless, the appeal quotes initial damage estimates in the provinces of Anhui and Jiangsu at 1,270 dead and thousands more wounded. More than 34,000 vil- lages are submerged, a news release said. Donations can be made out to the Canadian Red Cross Society, marked “China Flood Relief” and mailed to the Canadian Red Cross Society, 625 Columbia Avenue, Castlegar, VIN 1G9. The full amount of the dona tion will go to the flood victims and tax receipts will be issued. The Red Cross cannot accept donations in kind, such as blan- kets and clothes, because the cost of transporting and dis- tributing such goods ends up costing more than they are worth, the release said. A total of 75 million people have been affected by the floods on the Huai and Yangtze Rivers. Over 1,000 kilometres of roads has hampered communications and it is feared that the situa- tion will deteriorate with the rainy season has only just begin- ning. ~ The Chinese Red Cross says water in the regions affected by the floods has also been contam inated. The appeal is to supply medicine, water purification equipment, rice and blankets. When the floods hit, the Chi- nese Red Cross immediately dis- patched medical teams and vol- unteers from Beijing to reinforce those teams from local branches of the Chinese Red Cross who were already present. The local teams had managed to evacuate the wounded to hospitals and distribute emergency aid. Mea- sures have been taken to try to stop the outbreak of epidemics, the release said D-sar-D DINING LOUNGE OPEN DAILY AT 4 P.M. * LICENCED * 365-3294 CELGAR, WESTAR & COMINCO MEAL VOUCHERS ACCEPTED Located!

The junior A Lakers will pro- vide players — last cuts and — to the Rebels, who haven’t made the playoffs in the KIJHL for the last three years. Essentially, that means the Rebels will have access to tal- ented players who wouldn't oth- erwise be available to the team. » “That alone should make us a better hockey club,” Rebels pres- ident Russ Rilcof said Monday, adding that the Rebels already have a “strong nucleus of local talent.” The team’s training camp opens Sept. 16. The Lakers make their first cuts Sept. 10; Rilcof said. “If we feel they’re good enough we'll do our best to place them here,” he said. As well, Castlegar will be a place for the Lakers to develop players the Okanagan team would like to see play on a regu- Jar. Rilcof said the infusion agree with Lakers of talent will also provide an incentive to local players to turn. up their performances a notch. “It’s going to be a little more competitive” for the players, Ril- cof said, with “somebody else champing at the bit.” A better product on the ice should also mean more fans in the seats. “That should go without say- ing,” Rilcof “We should be able to do th: Off the ice, the team needs places for the out-of-town play- ers to stay. “We're going to be comeerer for billets,” Rilcof said. “We're going to have more players in town needing a play to stay.” Once here, the team will encourage the players to attend Selkirk College, he said. “Hockey and education — the winning edge,” Rilcof said. “That's something very close to our hearts.” The Lakers had been affiliat- ed with the KIJHL’s Columbia Valley: Rockies but the Rockies signed an affiliation agreement for next season with the Cran- brook franchise in the newly formed Kootenay Division of the Peace-Cariboo Junior Hockey ague. Lakers general manager Mel Lis said the new arrangement makes more sense from a travel Aacink te 1, is closer to Vernon than Invermere — the home of the Rockies — and Invermere is closer to Cran- brook. rete cs FLYING OTTERS CasNews photos by Kathy Verigin Torrie LaHue (above) of the Robson River Otters. gets off loft, braces for a quick entry in the 50-metre freestyle.
