  • North Carolina Landfills Now Banning Plastic Bottles By Jessica Osborne Contributing Writer As of Oct. 1, plastic bottles have been banned from all North Caro- lina landfills, along with wood pal- lets, oil filters, and oyster shells. The new law targets plastic bot- tles that have necks smaller than the body of the container, a screw top, cap or other type of lid. The numbers or recycling symbol on the bottle will not matter either as long as the neck of the bottle is smaller than the base. The law, approved by state lawmakers in 2005, is aimed at encouraging recycling and supply- ing plastic recyclers with the mate- rials they need to make more bottles _and other products. The Jackson County Department of Solid Waste has already been pre- paring residents for many years in the recycling of plastic bottles and just recently started recycling motor oil filters last year. There: are nine recycling sites including the Transfer Station on Mineral Springs Drive in Sylva that will accept motor oil and oil filters where oil filters will be drained and used as scrap metal. Wood pallets can also be taken to the Transfer Station to be broken down and reused for mulch. We hope that people will see this law and take it upon themselves to follow it, said Chad Parker, di- rector of Solid Waste for Jackson County. We encourage people to do this but we wont be checking every single trash bag to make sure people are following this new law. Individuals will not get a ticket if they dont recycle, but state solid waste inspectors will enforce the law during landfill inspection so recycling can help the county avoid penalties and/or fines. The only ex- ception to this rule, are pallets that | come from construction and home sites. The state will still allow those to be taken to landfills but all other pallets need to be recycled. es State officials can issue fines of up to $15,000 to trash haulers and Woman recycling plastic bags at SRC. cae Smoking Ban Rules Released Local Establishments Already Banning Sir 2010. By Adam Crisp Staff Writer The Western Carolinian reported in June that North Carolina would ban the use of cigarettes in restau- rants, bars, and government owned buildings and cars in January 2010. Since then, some restaurants, such as the Huddle House off campus, have yet to carry out their word that they would end smoking before the law went into effect. However some, like OMalleys Pub and Grill, have decided to go ahead and stop smok- ing in their establishments. We already went non-smoking in August just so we could prepare for the ban. If it would have hurt business then Id rather feel the pinch in August than in January when business is already slow any- way, said Lynn Stanberry, owner of OMalleys. While they still allow smoking in the patio area, under the new law, it would be considered an enclosure and illegal. In between now and January were going to try to make a cov- ered area outside, Stanberry went Smoking in bars and restaurants, as pictured, will no longer be allowed in North Carolina beginning i in on to say about how they will ac- commodate both smokers and those who do not wish to smell or get sec- ondhand smoke. Many states have already ad- opted smoking bans as well as some North Carolina cities. A team from the University of California-San Francisco has studied the effects of these bans on 13 communities and found a 17 percent drop in heart attacks after the first year and 36 percent reduction after three years. The Center for Disease Control has concluded that long term effects of second hand smoke on a non-smok- er can result in as much as a 30 per- cent increase in heart disease. While these results are positive, some people still enjoy smoking in- side. Initially people were ok with it ..but a lot of our older customers have gone to the Moose Lodge and other places ... as far as the college kids are concerned, | havent heard anything, said Stanberry. On Sept. 18, the proposed rules for implementing the states ban on smoking in restaurants and bars are pretty simple for restaurants and oking Tr Photo Courtesy of Getty Images bars, there are only two. Staffers for the N.C. Commis- sion for Public Health, which must ultimately approve the rules, held a hearing for public comments and questions on the rules. Only a couple procedural questions arose among, the small crowd. The first proposed rule is that cigar bars, which are exempt, must file an affadavit every quarter veri- fying that they meet the require- ments for operating as a cigar bar. (The requirements in the law in- clude: 60 percent of gross revenue comes from alcohol, 25 percent from cigar sales and a humidor is on the premises.) The second proposed rule says restaurants and bars must post no smoking signs at each entrance, at a height and location easily seen. The signs must be at least 24 square inches, such as a 4-inch by 6-inch sign, be legible and include three pieces of information: the Divi- sion of Public Healths toll-free complaint line, the statute number | for the law and the Web site www. smokefree.nc.gov. ee ee eek SE landfills for environmental viola: tions. North Carolina currently recov- ers less than 20 percent of the plas- tic bottles generated in the state, the division said. More bottles re- covered will feed North Carolinas emerging plastic recycling plants. The change also will help the state reach toward a goal of recycling 2 million tons of all materials by 2012. In 2007, recycling reached 1.35 million tons. | We encourage North Carolin- ians to help these disposal bans suc- ceed by expanding and starting new recycling efforts, said Dee Free- man, secretary of the N.C. Depart- ment of Environment and Natural Resources. Recycling i is a proven job creator in North Carolina and if we do our best to recycle the newly banned materials, we will not only grow businesses in the state, but also protect disposal capacity, re- cover valuable resources, save en- ergy and help reduce greenhouse hoto by Jay Strong as emissions. HIN1 Flu Cases Decreasing at By Justin Caudell Editor-in-Chief As of Monday, Oct. 5, the Uni-- yersity Health Center had seen a decrease in the number of patients treated daily withflu-like symptoms. Of the students who were seen, Pam Buchanan, Director of Health Services, said Patients treated in the health center typically are re- cuperating and feeling well again within four to five days. In the state of North Carolina, 90 percent of confirmed flu cases are HIN] according to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), and the recommendation is that addi- tional confirmation is unnecessary. Patients who have flu or flu-like illness are considered to have H1N1 flu. This type of flu remains a rela- Western Carolinian Publication Schedule Jestern Carolina | tively mild strain, said Buchanan. We can work together to help mini- mize the spread of the virus and keep _our campus healthy and informed. The Health Center reiterated that the best precautionary measures that students and staff can use to help prevent the spread of flu virus is frequent hand washing and cover- ing your mouth when coughing or sneezing. I would like to remind students, faculty and staff that the most com- mon symptoms of flu are fever greater than 100 degrees, muscle ache and coughing, said Buchanan. The Health Center will continue to monitor the number of flu cases on campus very closely and will provide updates and instructions as need to the campus ee in response to changing needs. ea aaa eae eaeead to Change The Western Carolinian, normally published every other Friday, will go out of its normal schedule this month. The Western Carolinian would have had a paper publish on Friday, Oct, 23, but will not have a newspaper that day. Due to the fall break vacation at Western Carolina interrupting business production, the Western Carolinian newspaper will now publish on Monday, Oct. 26.
