A bit of Italian flavour at Show and Shine

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer The annual Rolling Thunder Cruisers Show and Shine has always

brought together a wide range of vehicles from across Yorkton and area, from completely original survivors to thoroughly worked over custom

machines. Every year, there’s something different, and something that is not commonly found in the middle of the prairies. The 1973 Alfa

Romeo GTV 2000 owned

by Jeroen Wacki is an example of a car you don’t see every day in Yorkton.

Wacki admits he doesn’t know too much about the Bertonedesigned coupe, after inheriting it from his father. The car has only been in the country since February.

“My dad bought it 8-9 years ago with a broken engine. I got the engine fixed up by a buddy of mine who actually made cars like these for racing.”

While the car is in good condition, Wacki believes it can be better, and he wants to fully restore his Alfa Romeo.

“My plan is, this winter or next winter, to strip it apart, do some major body work, and get it repainted.”

The Alfa Romeo stood out at the show because

it was significantly different from everything else on display, being small and Italian and parked between some large, American luxury cars. Wacki admits that he’s considering putting some American metal in his own garage.

“I always thought that when we came to Canada we would need to have some North American cars. My wife wanted to have an old, nice Mustang, but with the garage filled up with European cars that’s not going to happen for the

next couple of years.”

That includes a 1982 BMW 320e and a 1992 Porsche 911. All of them are drivers, and as a young father, he admits that can be a challenge, because he’s got to fit car seats in all of them. The Alfa was at the show duly equipped, but the Porsche required finding a seat made especially for the car by Porsche itself. But since there’s no point to a car if it’s not driven, Wacki wants to make sure he can use all of the cars in his garage.

Stretching from fully custom to completely unmodified, from completed projects to works in progress, from large luxury vehicles to small sports cars, the show had a wide variety of vintage iron to see and proud owners to talk to about it.

Yorkton hosts Mosquito AA Tier I tourney

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer

The Mosquito AA Tier I provincial tournament was held in Yorkton over the weekend, bringing nine teams of 9-10 year olds from across the province to the city to compete for the provincial championship.

Yorkton’s fortunes in the tournament were mixed, going 2-2 in the round robin portion of the tournament. The team came out on top against Lloydminister, winning 5-4, and Prince Albert, winning 11-1, but lost to White Butte, with a score of 13-8, and

Swift Current, losing 7-0.

Head coach Kirby Stewart says that it was a good weekend for the team, with everyone contributing and some good pitching by the team. While it was tough to start against the hardest team in their pool, he’s proud of how they played and believes the tournament was a good learning experience for the kids.

“What we wanted to do when putting this together is to get kids that are really into ball and pretty decent at it, to get them together to play at a higher level, higher quality ball.”

The White Butte Broncos went on to win the tournament in the final against the Melville Millionaires, winning 9-1 to become the Provincial Champions.

The Broncos were undefeated through the tournament.

Tournament Chair Kelly Hubic would like to thank the parents for their work in putting on the weekend events, preparing the diamonds, keeping score and announcing at the games.

“It was really nice to see the support from all the teams and all the fans who are out here this weekend.”

Maiden voyage for a custom Chevrolet

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer In 1947, when the bones of Greg Hodgen’s Chevrolet Sedan Delivery rolled off the line, the people who built it would have not imagined the car it is today. The former commercial hauler has been transformed into an updated custom cruiser. The Rolling Thunder Cruisers Show and Shine was the maiden voyage for the bright yellow classic.

The process has taken 13 years, Hodgen says, though he admits that since he also builds cars for a living it wasn’t always steady work. The other reason it has taken so long to complete was the state the car was in when he found it in a wrecking yard in Bowden, Alberta.

“It was just pounded all to hell, he didn’t stop good and he didn’t back up good.”

The result is a car which is comprehensively different from the one he picked up. There are new fiberglass fenders because metal originals are in short supply as well as a new back door, the car rides on an S10 frame with a 350 V8 and has modern suspension and

“My heart and soul went into this car.”

Taking the old car and thoroughly modernizing it was another reason why the project took over a decade. Hodgen had to build custom parts and engineer unique solutions to make everything in the car work together, and he says the

solutions were not always easy to come by, admitting that he would have to leave the car sit until he had a eureka moment when contemplating how to get it to work.

His own perfectionism was another reason for the long process, something which was apparent as he hid the few incomplete parts of the car. He points to the firewall as an example of this. He custom-made one because he thought all of the aftermarket alternatives were inferior to what was in the car originally.

“They’re big ugly squared off things, I don’t like that, not to mention you lose passenger compartment space.”

Now that it’s finally done, Hodgen plans on doing the only natural thing and drive it regularly. After the time and effort made into putting the cart together, he does not plan on starting a new project, but instead finally enjoying the one he’s worked on for over a decade.

“Some of my friends have been telling me, for Pete’s sake, you’ve been making everyone else’s dreams come true, get this thing out there and get some exposure and have fun with it, so that’s what I’m doing.”

PUBLISHER: Neil Thom PRODUCTION: Diane St. Marie WRITER: Devin Wilger SALES: Penny Pearce CIRCULATION/ADMIN: Michaela Miller

Not a good year for crime There is not a lot of good news for Yorkton or Saskatchewan in the latest crime numbers released by Statistics Canada yesterday.

In 2015, Yorkton’s crime severity index (CSI) was 131.46, up 16.76 per cent over 2014. The CSI is a measure that takes into account the relative seriousness of police-reported crime. Each Criminal Code offence is weighted based on actual sentencing practices to give a better relative picture of the safety of communities than the old crime rate, which made no distinction between minor charges such as breaches of conditions and serious crimes such as assault.

Statistics, of course, can be tricky. They can be unscrupulously manipulated to say virtually anything you want them to and to draw erroneous or dubious conclusions for political reasons. For example, depending on your political bent, a rise in crime severity could be used to argue governments aren’t doing enough to alleviate poverty or that the courts are too lax in sentencing. Corroborating evidence and in-depth analysis are required for statistics to contribute to meaningful policy.

But while figuring out why the numbers are what they are is exceptionally complex, statistics do give us a very good sense of trends and trends are much more important than any single year’s numbers.

The first important comparison to note here is that last year’s Yorkton numbers break a four-year downward trend that saw decreases of 5.26, 14.88, 11.59 and 17.41 per cent. However, our 2015 CSI of 131.46, while up 18.87 points over 2014, is still better than it was in 2013 (136.33), 2012 (154.20) and 2011 (181.15).

Compared to 305 other jurisdictions with populations greater than 10,000, Yorkton ranked 30th nationally, up four places from 2014, but still better than 2013 (20th), 2012 (ninth) and 2011 (seventh).

More concerning, we also took a significant jump in violent crime severity ranking from 58th in 2014 to 21st last year. The one positive note is Yorkton was 30th in non-violent crime severity in 2015 compared to 28th in 2014, although two places may well be within the margin of error.

Also of interest here, is that 2015 marks the first time since 2003 that the national CSI increased. The increase of five per cent is far shy of Yorkton’s and we are still nearly double the national average, which came in at 69.7.

The index was also up 10 per cent provincially and Saskatchewan continues to lead the other provinces at 135.8.

According to StatCan, the national increase was driven by a jump in fraud, breaking and entering, robbery and homicide, particularly in Alberta, but also Saskatchewan. That is consistent with economic woes experienced by us and our neighbouring province of late, although a direct causal link cannot be definitively made.

Of Canada’s 33 Census Metropolitan Areas (or CMAs, cities with more than 100,000 population) Calgary logged the greatest increase in CSI at 29 per cent. However, Alberta’s capital, with a CSI of 78.3, still lags way behind Saskatchewan’s two largest cities.

Saskatoon, in fact, ranked last year as Canada’s most dangerous CMA with an index of 112.5. Regina (107.6) was number two.

The country’s small cities continue to outrank their larger counterparts. While first among CMAs, Saskatoon is only 35th overall with North Battleford remaining Canada’s crime capital for the seventh year in a row and most violent city again in 2015 after dropping into second place behind William’s Lake, BC in 2014.

All of this is to say that 2015 was not a good year for crime locally, provincially or nationally compared to last year. But while that should give us pause and obviously we still have much work to do, the good news is we are a much safer nation than we were 25 years ago.

While reporting measures and definitions have changed over time making historical comparisons imperfect, all indications are both overall and violent crime peaked in Canada in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Since 1991, however, there has been a definite downward trend with only a couple of outlier years, the last of which was 2003.

Whether 2015 is an outlier or the beginning of a new disturbing upward trend in crime remains to be seen.

Either way, we can only take care of our own small piece of the world.

At the local level, every one of us should all be looking for ways we can contribute to crime reduction.

There are many opportunities available including volunteering to work with youth, becoming involved in Citizens on Patrol or neighbourhood watches, working with the HUB program, or even just taking care of our own families’ business.

Terrorism cycle keeps spinning Another week, another tragedy to react to, this time in Nice, France, as over 80 people were killed by a man driving a truck into a crowd at Bastille Day celebrations. The most frightening thing about the attack is not the attack itself, which is horrifying, but what this could mean for France, and by extension, the rest of the world. The reason is every time something like this happens, the desire for retaliation makes a repeat occurrence more likely.

Here is the cycle that is currently in process in France. Step one, a disenfranchised Muslim man or group of Muslim men attacks a large group of people. Step two, people demand blood because of the actions of this group, generally blaming the religion of Islam as a whole for the attacks that take place.

Take the reaction of the extreme right-wing National Front, which has called Muslim people “wolves” in response. That, in turn, leads to more young Muslim men who feel unwelcome in their own country and discriminated against in their lives. That makes them angry, once they get angry enough to kill it leads to a loop back to step one, and more attacks happen.

The extreme right wing response isn’t unique to France, it’s a trend that has taken root around the world. This is a fantastic recruiting tool for a group like ISIS, which wants angry young men who hate their country of residence to start killing people. If people are discriminated against, if they’re poor, if they have no hope for the future and believe that the people of their country are to blame for their problem, they’re going to be more likely to lash out with anger against the people of their nation. The scary thing is that when I read comments by France’s National Front, or America’s Republican presidential nominee, terrorist attacks start to make sense.

They’re not in any way defensible, but you can begin to understand why someone would decide to commit one. If everyone says you’re a violent degenerate, you might as well prove them right.

The only solution for this, near as I can tell, is to stop giving these young men the chance to be angry.

If the Muslim community are part of the overall community, if they’re made to feel welcome in the country, if they’re given the same opportunities as everyone else and they do not have to struggle through poverty and racism, they’re not going to commit a terrorist attack. It’s a case where you have to actually be kind to a community in response to heinous acts, because you have to make sure people in that community don’t get radicalized and perceive the people of their country as an enemy.

It’s hard to argue for kindness in the face of violence, but it’s necessary, because happy people don’t kill people. This seems like a naive response to

Things I do with words...

Column Devin Wilger some, but it’s true. It’s a case where you have to make the idea of someone killing themselves for a cause to be as unappealing as possible. The only way to do that is to give them something to live for, nobody is going to kill themselves in a suicide attack if they have hope for tomorrow. Nobody is going to attack their nation if they generally like people in it. The only possible way to counter these acts is to react with kindness.

That’s not what people want to hear. We like revenge, we like the idea of people getting punished for crimes, we want anyone involved in the attacks in Nice to suffer, because they made others suffer.

In more extreme examples, people want anyone who even looks similar to the attacker in France to suffer, as can be seen by the response by the National Front. This is a dangerous reaction, because it just creates more angry young men who want to make others suffer. It’s a cycle, and one that can only be stopped if we don’t participate in one part of the process. For the nations in the west, we have to be the nice people in this situation, because the perception is that we are not, and that’s what is driving the angry young men of the world to commit heinous acts.

This will undoubtedly be considered naive, and there will be plenty of people advocating more violence in response to this violence and more anger in response to this man’s anger. That’s natural, that’s what has happened before, and that’s going to be what happens again if we don’t decide to finally learn from the mistakes of the past couple decades.

Responding to violence with increased military action, with more violence, by making the perpetrators the villains in our entertainment, by dialing up the racism faced by people in their home communities and counties, it is not working. It has failed repeatedly, and while people like the National Front or Donald Trump want to continue escalating the problem, it’s clearly not effective and is in fact just making mass violence part of our every day reality. It’s time we learn from this mistake and react with the opposite response, try to increase the amount of kindness so people don’t want to hurt each other.

Forecast for light showers, beginning soon With evening skies darkening a little earlier each day, the night sky, rarely seen over the last few months, once again returns, increasing the chances of spotting the occasional shooting star.

Shooting stars are not stars, of course, but rather small bits of rocks and ice left behind by a comet.

Just sitting there, minding their own business until the Earth plows through them, the heat generated from being hit by our atmosphere at 1000 miles per hour burns them up in seconds. A nice moment for you, not so much for the rock.

The approximate date a meteor shower will happen is known; exactly how intense it will be is based on past experience. Your best bet is to get out on the predicted peak date or a day or two either side, when you should see meteors, from a rate of one every few minutes, up to a bunch a minute. On extremely rare occasions, you might even encounter a meteor storm, where you get a brief burst that looks very similar to driving through a heavy snow storm at night; these last from a few seconds to a few minutes, but the memory lasts a lifetime.

The Universe from your own back yard

by Jim Huziak jim@darkskies.ca.

The next meteor shower of note is the Delta Aquarid Shower, running ‘late July thru’ early August’ and peaking July 27th-30th, so you could spot an Aquarid even tonight. This shower usually runs only 15-20 meteors per hour at the peak,

but after this there are one or two showers more active showers every month through December.

The best time to view a meteor shower (with the exception of the Draconids in October), is after midnight, so you can never be too late. Before midnight

is second best, so, no excuses.

To fully experience a meteor shower, you need a dark sky. Seek out the extreme fringes of urban areas, or better yet, call up a friend on a farm or an acreage and invite yourself over after midnight.

Moonlight is a problem. If a bright moon’s around, check out your TV guide instead.

You don’t need special equipment to watch a meteor shower; just look up. A reclining chair and blanket are nice, as is a hot beverage. Binoculars will let you check out

those other things you spot between meteors.

Oh yeah, I forgot... don’t forget mosquito repellent.

It’s been said that ‘meteor showers are like fishing. You go, you enjoy nature … and sometimes you catch something’.

The reverse happened to me: while watching meteor showers from my back yard as a kid, I was caught and hooked on astronomy.

Viewing shooting stars arc gracefully across the sky is very peaceful experience, and they’re coming soon to a dark spot near you. Try your best to be there.

Your letter of the Week Innovative risk-takers will resurrect our economy To the Editor: How can the sluggish Canadian economy generate more wealth for all of us?

We need to find ways to encourage the innovative thinkers among us.

We all wouldn’t mind at least a little more income. And most of us would like to see that increase spread around a little more evenly. But Canadian income growth, especially at the lower levels, has been slow or stagnant. Why is this and what can we do about it?

Income doesn’t fall like rain. It is the product of the work of companies and individuals. Productivity (output per unit of input like labour or capital) is the measure of how much wealth our work generates. Unfortunately, according to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) productivity growth has been slowing around the world.

But let’s concern ourselves with Canada and the economic elephant we sleep with - the United States.

Between 2004 and 2014, labour productivity in Canada grew at less than one per cent - 0.9 per cent to be exact.

That puts a very low cap on how fast incomes rise. And Canada’s labour productivity in the last decade was down from 1.4 per cent in the previous decade.

In the U.S., too, productivity fell in the

same period, from 2.5 per cent to 1.2 per cent. But still their productivity growth is better and that helps explain why the standard of living is higher in the U.S. than in Canada - and why that gap will continue to rise.

The OECD has looked at the factors that contribute to productivity growth, concentrating first on frontier firms.

Frontier firms are the ones most productive, in industries, nations or globally. It is human capital, physical capital and especially the cutting-edge technology that puts firms on the frontier. Frontier firms tend to be young and fast growing.

Then the technology and productivity gains developed and applied in frontier firms need to be diffused throughout the economy.

We should have many frontier firms because so many of us at the beginning of our careers aspire to start the next Google. And we should apply quickly and broadly what we can learn from those firms. What can we do to assure more success? The OECD offers some suggestions” We need to foster innovation and the spread of that innovation among firms.

We need a market economy that will facilitate that innovation and its diffusion.

We need to put our resources, especially people, to their most productive use

by making sure that the labour force has the right skills.

Policies that enhance growth in productivity include: Reducing barriers to the entry and exit of firms.

Research and development (R&D) and innovation policies balanced between basic and applied research as well as between start-ups and established firms.

Encouraging superior management practices to increase competition against less efficient firms, so that those less efficient will not continue to misuse scarce resources and keep them away from a better allocation.

Allowing for failure through a clear procedure for bankruptcy so that firms are not excessively penalized for leaving something that is not working to try something better.

Having well functioning markets for goods, services, labour and capital so that resources can move easily to their most productive use, supported by an efficient and effective legal system.

Public investment in basic research, including support and incentives for researchers.

Taking advantage of global R&D through multinational corporations and competitive tax policies.

Being open and mobile, with goods, people and ideas able to move freely,

allowing us to participate more fully in an increasingly integrated world economy.

Increasing labour market efficiency to reduce skills mismatch.

Minimizing unnecessary red tape, which slows down an economy.

Maximizing lifelong learning since productivity ultimately comes from people.

New, cutting edge firms at the frontier of technology will make Canada productive and rich. We need an environment where such firms can thrive and prosper.

We need ambitious people willing to take a chance by setting up such firms and succeeding, or trying something else if success is not forthcoming. We need well-educated, hard-working, flexible people to take the good jobs those firms can provide.

And then we need to get out of their way, since they will generate the income that supports us all.

Baseball lists to spur discussions The annual baseball all-star has came and went.

In general terms allstar games are a mockery of their sports.

Players are not playing full out and frankly with good reason. No one wants a season-ending injury in a rough and boring sport like hockey, or a rugged game like football.

Basketball and baseball have a better chance of playing legitimate allstar games, and in the case of baseball they even put some value on it, with winning team getting home field advantage for their league come the World Series.

The problem then of course becomes the issue of some players not being available, in particular starting pitchers, for a game with such importance.

And there is the issue of trying to get almost every player into the game for the fans.

You might argue the ‘subs’ are just as good as the starters, but the fact

remains that all-star games are managed differently than you would a regular game with home field hanging in the balance.

Still the baseball game is the most entertaining, and of course the home run derby is the most logical and spectator friendly add-on event.

While in general terms I avoid all-star games, I do find that they do accomplish one important aspect of such contests; they inspire discussion, debate and flat out arguments regarding who should have been included.

While those discussions are fun, I like it when you use such talk as a springboard to a broader look at the sport.

So last week, amid the baseball all start game lull in the season I turned on the computer to find an all-star line-up my son had fashioned, one clearly gleaned from his time of reference as a fan at the tender age of 27.

I of course rise imme-

Sports View From the Couch

by Calvin Daniels diately to the bait, and did my own team, based albeit, on my own reference time which dated back a few decades longer.

I will not bore readers with the paltry crew my son assembled.

Let me just assure you my team would have trounced his in four straight in a best-of-seven.

And here is that line up: C — Johnny Bench 1B — Eddie Murray 2B — Roberto Alomar — (just edges Joe Morgan) SS — Cal Ripken Jr 3B — Mike Schmidt DH — Ortiz ( a real DH) OF — Roberto Clemente

OF — Rickey Henderson OF — Barry Bonds/ Hank Aaron (yes I waffled) P — Greg Maddux P — Bob Gibson P — Steve Carlton P — Clayton Kershaw (I really wanted Catfish Hunter) P — Roger Clemens Rel — Dennis Eckersley So my son, realizing his squad was overmatched, then suggested he had gone with more of a ‘favourites’ line-up.

All right I can deal with that.

So I gleaned through my favs list and came up with the following, based only on players who have played with either the now transferred

Montreal Expos, or the Toronto Blue Jays.

C —Gary Carter 1B - Carlos Delgado/ Andrés Galarraga 2B - Roberto Alomar SS - Tony Fernandez 3B - Josh Donaldon OF — Andre Dawson OF — George Bell OF — Vladmir Guerrero OF — Tim Raines (Hon mention) DH Paul Molitor P— Steve Rogers P— Dennis Martinez P— Pedro Martinez P— Roy Halladay P— Roger Clemens HON mentions: Dave Stieb/Jimmy Key Reliever Tom Henke/Jeff Reardon Now that was just a fun exercise. So as I am watching television I see an advertisement for the World Baseball Classic which will take place again in March 2017. It is one of my favourite world sporting events, and that had me thinking about an all-time ‘Team Canada’.

Here is what I came

up with, based on overall careers, or an outstanding season or two: Catcher Russell Martin 1B — Justin Morneau 2B — Dave McKay SS — Danny Klassen 3B — Corey Koskie OF — Terry Puhl OF — Larry Walkers OF — Jeff Heath OF — Jason Bay DH Joey Votto P — Ferguson Jenkins P — Ryan Dempster P — Eric Bedard P — Reggie Cleveland P — Jess Francis

P — Jeff Zimmerman Mid reliever — Paul Quantrill & Claude Raymond Closers — John Hiller (L) & Eric Gagne (R) Now I am sure many of you who are reading this have already thought of alternate players you would yourself select. If that is the case then I have achieved my goal, stimulating a bit of cerebral debate regarding a sport we all enjoy.

TENDERS

TENDERS

Saskatchewan unemployment rate second lowest in Canada S a s k a t c h e w a n ’s unemployment rate (seasonally adjusted) was 6.1 per cent in June 2016, tied for the second lowest among provinces and lower than the national unemployment rate of 6.8 per cent.

In June 2016, there were 582,200 people employed in Saskatchewan.

There has been an increase of 1,000 jobs (seasonally adjusted)

in Saskatchewan between May 2016 and June 2016. “ S a s k a t c h e w a n ’s labour market continues to feel the impact caused by low resource prices,” Immigration, Jobs, Skills and Training Minister Jeremy Harrison said.

“However, we are optimistic as forecasters predict our economy will begin to recover in the coming year,

and seeing month over month gains in employment shows our economy is on the right track.”

Between June 2007 and June 2016, 69,100 jobs were created in Saskatchewan.

Of those new jobs, 57,400 or 83 per cent are fulltime jobs.

Other June 2016 highlights include: Major year-overyear gains were reported for agricul-

ture, up 2,800; trade, up 2,600; professional, scientific and technical services, up 2,700; information, culture and recreation, up 1,800.

E m p l o y m e n t increased by 2,000 yearover-year in Regina.

Youth unemployment rate was 10.5 per cent (seasonally adjusted), the lowest among the provinces and below the national rate of 13.0 per cent.

The Yorkton Business Improvement District is pleased to announce that one of their major projects for 2016 has begun.

YBID Board of Directors authorized a much needed outside seating area at the Gallagher Centre which will feature tables, chairs and a variety of outdoor decorations.

YBID Chair Sophia Hamm stated “It has long been felt that the need to slip out of indoor activities and enjoy the sunshine and fresh air for a few moments was very much needed, this project allows for that.”

City Councillor Ross Fisher assisted YBID Chair Sophia Hamm and Past Chair Bruce

Thurston, turning over the sod at the Gallagher Centre.

“The City of Yorkton has enjoyed a productive and fruitful relationship with YBID, and we are glad to continue with this project,” says Councillor Ross Fisher.

Bruce Thurston member of the YBID Gallagher Centre Project commented, “The project will feature a new concrete pad on either side of the main entrance to the Gallagher Centre with tables and outdoor seating for up to 16 people including a wheelchair area.”

YBID had a budget of $50,000.

Chair Sophia Hamm says, “This project will be brought in on time and well under budget.” Hamm

added, “We’re pleased with the cooperation on this project with the City of Yorkton and the staff at the Gallagher Centre.”

In partnership with the City of Yorkton, Yorkton Business Improvement District has cost shared 50% of several major projects including the new lighting at the Gallagher Centre, street light improvements on Broadway and side streets, street name signs, skate board park development, walkway lighting, benches, flower pots and the clean street program, just to name a few.

How to determine if items can be composted Compost is an eco-friendly way to grow a healthy and flourishing garden bed or landscape. Full of nutrients and rich organic materials, compost is often called “black gold” by gardeners for the many benefits it provides. One of the main advantages to compost, apart from the way it boosts plant growth and health, is that it is relatively low cost to produce.

Compost is created by food scraps and other materials that are left to break down naturally. Backyard composting speeds up the natural process of decomposition. In optimal conditions, organic matter can decompose more quickly.

However, insects also can do their part to create compost. Such insects are referred to as “physical composters” because they break down materials by chewing, grinding and digesting them into smaller pieces. Bacteria create an oxidation process that heats up the compost pile and aids in its decomposition.

Homeowners can create their own compost piles with just a few items. Some of the staples of composting include foods that normally would be discarded.

Vegetable peels, fruit rinds, eggshells, coffee grounds, and the like can be put into a compost pile. Meats and poultry should not be placed in a compost pile because of the threat of harmful pathogens and bacteria.

Other items that are not food-related also can be added to compost piles. It may be challenging to determine which ones are applicable. These products are usually considered safe: • paper plates with no coating • products made from bagasse, a
