Promising results are evi- dent in both programs.

areas of the district. They have not set any limit on the amount of material people may recycle throught the blue box program. After one year of operation the areas served by both programs have reduced landfill input by 29per cent.

The costs of the blue box pro- gram are admittedly quite high, but are offset somewhat by the reduced costs associated with

The flat rates allow one can per week per household. If h holders wish to dispose of more garbage, they have to purchase stickers from local out- lets for $2 apiece, and affix them to the extra garbage cans. The extra cans won't be picked up unless the sticker is attached.

The Nanaimo area has taken one step fur- ther, and established a limit of three extra cans. This means that householders have a limit on how much they are allowed to send to the land- fill, even if they wish to pay extra money for ex- tra volume.

The Nanaimo Regional District operates a blue box program in conjunction with the

less overall materials going to the landfill.

The Regional District of Central Kootenay and the Regional District of Kootenay Bound- ary are both reviewing options for waste man- agement strategies to reduce landfill input.

Perhaps a good way to attract a lot more public focus to this issue be to implement garbage can limits to households in the various communities in the area, similar to what has been done on Vancouver Island.

People would pay a lot more attention to their garbage disposal habits if they had to pay directly for their excesses each time it hap- pened.

the semi-final by.Nelson Savoy, 1-0.

li WKMSL season ends on an unhappy note for Castlegar’s Hi Arrow Devils

NEWS STAFF

Although they pulled it off Saturday, leaving things until the last minute cost the Hi Arrow Devils Sunday.

Competing in the West Kootenay Men’s Soc-

cer League playoffs over the weekend, the Dev- ils started off at home in a quarter-final match against Trail Saturday. _ Playing like a team that was too busy look- ing ahead to its next game, the third-place Dev- ils never led against the upstart Silver City Se- lects, and had to go a shootout to advance.

Coach Carlos Amaral said his squad be- lieved the victory was in the bag.

“We thought that we would get the win just like that,” he said.

But that wasn't the case, as the Devils were down 1-0 early when Vahid Pourmokhtari evened it up on a nice goal for the home team.

Trail replied shortly after and took a 2-1 in- to lead halftime.

_ Amaral said the Devils were guilty of leav- ing the sixth-place Selects open too often, al- lowing them time to set up and score.

With that in mind, the Devils came out and forced the Selects in their own end, tying it up on Herb Amaral’s goal early in the second half.

Things stayed that way for a while until the Devils went back to playing slack defensively, and Trail capitalized with two quick goals to go up 4-2.

With time ticking away, the Devils threw ev- erything but the kitchen sink at the Selects, and the effort paid off with goals from Rob Mat- jasic and Mike Hawley in the last 10 minutes to force overtime.

The extra 14 minutes proved nothing, and the two teams went to a shootout, with each team taking five shots from the penalty spot.

The Devils scored on their first four shots, and when keeper Scott Harrison made his sec- ond save.on Trail’s fourth shot, the Devils had won.

Amaral said the effort showed his isn’t a team of quitters.

“When you’re down by two goals-with eight or 10 minutes left and you tie it up, I think that tells you something,” he said.

With momentum in their favor, the Devils travelled to Nelson Sunday for a semi-final date with the Savoy, who were undefeated dur-

ing the season.

The locals matched Savoy stride for stride through most of the first half, only allowing the home team one good chance to score.

But good teams take advantage of their chances, and Savoy did just that to go up 1-0 at the half.

Playing like a team possessed, the Devils turned up the heat in the second half but couldn't find the equalizer. :

With time running out and play in front of the Savoy net, the Devils put two shots off the Nelson crossbar but, unlike the day before, there would be no fairly tale ending as the home team held on for the 1-0 win.

Although the outcome wasn't as good, Ama- ral said he'll gladly take Sunday’s effort over Saturday's.

“I feel a little sad, but there’s nothing to be ashamed of,” he said. “I don’t think there’s any- thing else to be asked from our guys.

“They played their hearts out.”

With the win, Savoy moves on to host fourth- place Nakusp in Sunday’s final.

Nakusp, the defending champs, advanced after surprising second-place Nelson Heritage in a shootout after the Devils-Savoy match.
