Celgar begins using hydrogen peroxide in bleaching process After completing several trials, Celgar Pulp Compa- ny bas begun using hydrogen peroxide to reduce the use of gaseous chlorine in the Bleaching process of its existing kraft pulp mill at Castlegar, BC. Permanent facilities enabling the plant to routinely use peroxide in the second stage of bleaching were installed by Dupont Canada Inc, and put into regular service this week, “This installation allows us to reduce the use of gascous chlorine in the first stage of bleaching,” said Jim Browne, Celgar’s general manager. “We expect that ch use of hydrogen peroxide will enable us fo reach 40 per cént replacement of chlorine gas in the current mill.” Browne said such a rate of replacement will have a " process at the existing mill and discharged as waste. “Te will be several weeks before we can measure the full impact of this process change on our pulp and wastewater.” Browne added. Howes’ 8 experience we gain by using hydrogen peroxide with our existing equipment will greatly assist us in reaching our goal of climinating chlorine after we have the new mill.” Celgar, which is investing $700 million in modem- izing and expanding its Castlegar plant, is committed to making the new mill molecular chlorine-free. Work on the new mill is well underway. It is sched- uled to begin producing pulp by mid-1993.

Their connection with the youth group led Rita and Vicki to meet Barry Morris. The three became very good friends. In 1972 Rita met Karl Koerber. They were married two years later.

The shows’ origins go back about ten years to the area's original pho- tography course at the David Thomp- son University Centre in Nelson. ‘The Macgregor gallery, located in what is now the Canadian Internation- al College, is much better equipped to handle a photo show than the previ- ously used student's classroom at the Castlegar campus. For one thing, the gallery's track for effect than a classroom’s fluores- cent bulbs. “It’s nice to have the show here,” said Marc Dupuis, a graduate of the photo program and co-owner of Pro- for this kind of stuff—the lighting is great.” Ron Woodward is the Department Head of Selkirk’s Graphic Communi- cations Department which includes photography. “There’s more experimental work in bly prepare anybody to become a pro- f gaining experience until they can be § lighting system is casier to manipulate § file Photographic Studio in Nelson § “Macgregor Gallery is a great studio § one-year series of courses into a tw of Selkirk College’s ; photography program have spent the last nine-months refining skills that may see them launch a Last week, the students were given a chance to demonstrate the skills they’ve learned at an annual yearend Photo show that featured everything from ” The vobiie instructor, Fred Rosenberg, says, “TI don't portraiture than in previous years,” he said. “The attempt to catch the mood of where the person is at reflects the influence of the i instructor—who is quite an It’s really neat to see ‘people who have spent all year learning an art form get a chance to show their work.” ‘Woodward has been behind an effort to expand the graphics department at the Castlegar campus from a more f the arts. But I am biased because this show < and this | building brings back a lot of memo- ties for me.” According to Browning, some of the work on display suggests some of this year’s students may some day climb into the professional ranks, “A few of the stu- dents are professional customers already,” she said rec- ognizing a few faces from her shop. She points to Dupuis as a good example of someone coming out of the course who has found a job in the - photo industry. Dupuis, was in a couple of shows 4 while a student at Selkirk and knows the feeling of pride students get upon learning a craft and showing their art. “I took the photography course | three years ago with Jeremy Adding- ton (the previous photo instructor for the past decade now on a leave-of- 4 absence),” said Dupuis. “The last exhibition show I was in was the Kootenay Boundary Juried Art Show. “One of my prints was selected to be in a multi-media exhibition in Van- couver called Images and Objects.” Dupuis found this show at the Mac- u. gtegor gallery a Jittle different, th some of the previous studeni its. “This show has a.neat bunch of con- tributions.

She chose a concept she stumbled upon while on Christmas vacation in Toronto; Surreal photos featuring shots of life-like mannequins dressed in lingerie. “I was just walking by the Eaton’s centre and there was this display,” she said. “It was at night, and it was all spot-lighting—It was quite striking.” LAST PICTURE SHOW DAVE McCRORY Deidre Dujmovich’s work didn’t draw on as many of the others did.

But while the outcome of the college board’s deci- sion wasn’t known at time of publication there is a slight possibility the entire program will be can- “Nobody knows what will happen until the board makes their decision,” said Woodward. If it happens that this was the last photo show at the college it would be ironic that it was held in Nelson— Duj vich’s friend, Denise Link, was also at the gallery. “This is the first time I’ve been to a photo show,” she said. “‘I went with Dee on the shoot that’s in this display.” And while to Denise it looked like her friend was spending an awfully long time with a tree, she is impressed with her friend’s results. “It’s neat now to look at the Photo and see how she was Seeing the tree at that time.” ‘“Wewers were treated to. some very good photography.
