TERRACE — Provincial li-
quor stores have started col-
lecting those plastic rings
which hold together six-
packs of canned beer.,

The effort, says Maurice
Walford of the. liquor
distribution branch, is part
of the province's Program to
recycle.

Birds and smaller animals
have also had their heads
stuck in the rings when they
have been left strewn around
picnic and other areas.

Walford said the program
started after customers in li-
quor stores began filling out

LOCAL LIQUOR store employes will only be too glad to lake

done about the rings. -

“There isn’t a recycling .

there will be in a couple of

years so we've decided .to

store them until there is.”
“We're also accepting the

rings from soft drink cans. |
There isty’t really much tothe .

rings so we can stare many of
them,” Walford said.
’ He added that beer com-

panies are also looking at

alternatives to the plastic
rings. One such alternative is
using plastic which degrades

That criticism is: based on a:
provincial ombudsman report
which indicates cabinet and
then-forests minister Dave

without legislated authority -in

’. having the licences go.to those

companies in Prince George.
Terrace council added its
voice last -week, calling fora
mecting between forests
minister Claude Richmond and
northwestern municipalities.
But Cooper said the over-
riding concern should be mak-
ing sure the wood is logged
before it becomes worthless.
He said he inspected’ the
southwest part of the licence
region two weeks ago and
estimated as much as 50 per cent
of the timber there is infested by
beetles. The timber in question
is north of Hazelton, between
the’ Skeena and the Sicintine
rivers.
“We should just forget the
politics of this thing and just go
in and log it,"’ Cooper argued.

“Forget the politics and let's ©

use a little common sénse. It
was a political decision , and
bugs don't have any way of
knowing about political deci-
sions,”’

He said the beetle infestation
means who gets the wood isn't
as important now as whether
the wood gets logged quickly.
