A2 THE CHILLIWACK PROGRESS, Wednesday, March 20, 1991 KecifeDSimg DSlfe aiftteir dteaftBu Some thoughts for THE INTERNATIONAL DAY FOR THE ELIMINATION OF RACIAL DISCRIMINATION "All humanity are the children of God; they belong to the same family, to the same original race. There can be no multiplicity of races, since all are the descendants of Adam. This signifies that racial assumption and distinction is nothing but superstition." 'Abdu'l-Bahd 792-0306 From the Chilliwack Bahii COMMUNITY BOOKSTORE apartment dwellers, who have no backyard composting facilities of their own. Dreidger said last Wednesday that he had no official word that the Lundell proposal was dead, so did not want to comment on whether the approved funding would remain with the company or with the ministry for other demonstration projects. The ministry will fund up to one-third the capital cost of source-separated recycling and composting programs, but there are no other proposals before the ministry at present.

There are other programs to encourage source separation at industrial, commercial and institutional sites as well. He said one key to successful recycling programs is to create demand for recycled products. A B.C. de-inking plant was started in response to California legislation that called for a percentage of newspapers to be produced with recycled paper. The ministry is trying to work out a similar scheme for plastics that would encourage recycling plastic milk jugs here in B.C.

About 50 per cent of the waste stream can be source-separated, Dreidger said. Getting at the remaining 50 per cent is where resource recovery systems like the Lundell plant would help divert more from the landfill. "Clearly source-separated recycling is the way to get the best quality recyclables which have the best market," he said. There is still recycling life after death of the Lundell waste recovery system. Ron Dreidger, head of the municipal solid waste branch of the B.C.

Environment Ministry, said he hopes the regional district will embark on a solid waste management plan. The B.C. government has ordered regional districts to coordinate waste management plans to reduce the amount of garbage dumped in landfills by the year 2000. "I don't want to be the garbage czar of the Fraser Valley," said Fraser Cheam Regional District administrator Bob Moore, but he agreed with council's decision not to proceed with the Lundell system. "The business plan was not to the benefit of the local taxpayers," he said.

The demise of the Lundell system clears the way for a regional waste management plan which began with a preliminary study last September, he said. Dreidger said financial assistance from the ministry is available to regional districts for a host of recycling programs to encourage source separation that provides a better quality recycled product. There is "a ready market" for compost produced from kitchen and yard waste, he said. One of the ministry programs involves collection of kitchen wastes from CHILLIWACK PENTECOSTAL TABERNACLE Presents CTCR Pit bull rescues woman However, management at the trailer park is asking Gorzo to get rid of her dog. She says there's no way the manager wants a pit bull on his property.

She says it's important to realize that pit bulls aren't always as terrible as some people say they are. "A lot of people the minute they see a pit bull say 'O my God! Shoot Well, a pit bull is only what they're trained to be." "The dog saved my life." Gorzo says she plans on buying her dog a steak or something special to celebrate. by Paul Bucci An unlikely hero came to the rescue during the wee hours of Friday morning. Shasta a five-year-old female pit bull terrier with a heart condition awoke her master in time to put out a potentially fatal trailer fire. Susan Gorzo was fast asleep when something went wrong with the electrical heating unit in her travel trailer at Green Gables Motel and Trailerpark.

She had taken some sleeping pills because of severe neck pain and was completely unaware that the trailer was beginning to burn. Shasta hopped onto Gorzo's chest, whining, walking and pulling on her pantleg until she finally woke up. "I saw flames shooting out of the electric heater," Gorzo said. "I wouldn't have woken up if it weren't for the dog." Deputy fire chief Bill Chambers confirmed the dog was responsible for waking Gorzo up. "If it hadn't been for the dog, she might not have got out at all.

Fire goes through those trailers really fast," Chambers said. Gorzo was able to run from her trailer and get help from a neighbor who had a fire extinguisher. Yard waste disposal The district of Chilliwack has decided to open up a dumpsite for cheap disposal of yard waste. Mayor John Les says the district has been suffering from people dumping their yard waste in the river or along the side of district roads. The dump site will be open on Saturdays from 8 a.m.

to 4 p.m. It will cost $2 a load, and district staff will be on hand to assist. Only organic material will be accepted. The site is located on Parr Road, which is just west of Fraser Valley College on Yale Road. Les says the district doesn't want people to take yard waste to the landfill site because it's compostable and takes up too much room.

Les says the material left at the Parr Road site will probably be chipped and turned into compost for use later.

Spelling errors, typographical mistakes and confusion over where some of the meetings were actually held, shows a "lack of care" on the part of the report's drafters.

"They misspelled Agassiz in three different ways," Tisdale said. Schroeder refused to comment about the college's concerns. "You'll have to get any response about the report from the ministry," Schroeder said Monday. Jones and FVC board chairman Brian Minter were in Victoria Monday voicing their concerns about the report. Alan Cameron, who was a member of the FVC Access Committee, says the report leaves out important information and contains some "half-truths." Other report recommendations include: Increase the number of people attending post-secondary institutions.

Provide the institutions with enough money to achieve participation rates. Expand institutional capacity at FVC, Kwantlen College, Douglas College and Simon Fraser University. Expand university transfer programs at Valley colleges and establish new career and technical programs. Allow students easier transfer. Have SFU establish a 'physical presence' in the region to mount an expanded extension program.

Start a public information campaign to communicate post-secondary opportunities and seek community views on the direction of post-secondary development. '(mm j. mm ftRRANuC BRING YOUR a V.
