A goal for Flaherty's is to be recognized not just for bowling, but as a communiry gathering place. It is promoting a full menu, which Adam says is superior to ste- reotypical bowling alley food. Flaherty's is planning to add craft beers to the chef-driv- en menu. A variety of games and a bowling pro shop are part of the operation. Sign-up for fall bowling, which caters to seniors and kids as well as meds and womeds leagues, begins in August. Adam stressed that being a good bowler is not a requirement. Just come and have fun. Information about everything Flaherty's Arden Bowl offers can be found at the website, www.flahertysbowl.com. than paper towels. Pack cutlery and utensils rather than disposable plastic. Bring reus- able water bottles and containers. Don't forget trash bags to gather any trash and recyclables and dispose of it appropriately. Propane tanks/canisters: Empry propane canisters must be kept out of landfills. Spent propane canisters are considered hazardous waste while still under pressure, but once they are relieved of pressure they can be recycled as scrap metal. To make sure the canister is completely empty, attach the canister to the device (usually stove or lantern). Turn the gas on and light the device, allowing the gas to completely run out. Write "empry" on the side of the small canister. • Call the retailer where you purchased your propane tank, and inquire about "take back" and recycling options. • Some counries accept refillable or single-use propane tanks at their haz- ardous waste drop-off sites.
