But he admits he's just about ready to give up because of blind ignorance in a communi- ty that refuses to see AIDS (Acquired Immunity Deficiency Syndrome) as nothing more than a "homo- sexual disease." The truth, as public health statistics show, involves a scourge that is rapidly affect- ing the mainstream communi- ty, right down to little children. And if people aren't going to open their eyes to the image of four and five year-olds dying, "when are they going to wake up?" Pigden asks. Named in honour of Pigden's long-time friend. Jim Mussel, who died in 1992 because of complications from AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome), James House is to be a 10 -bed resi- dence. It will offer HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Vous, the precursor to AIDS) patients and their families a respite from the virus and its symptoms, which are largely flu-like and include headache, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Since starting his quest in March 1993, Pigden has encountered stumbling blocks ranging from official indiffer- ence and a lack of money from community agencies, to plain ignorance and an incorrect perception of AIDS as anill- ness restricted to the gay com- munity. At a cost of $300,000 to $500,000, the price is small compared to a full palliative - care hospice such as Toronto's Casey House, says Pigden, noting his efforts have so far garnered ]tale support from the mainstream community. Most politicians distance themselves f om any outward association with the gay com- munity -,citizens tend toward om hophobia; school boards do the bare minimum in promot- ing AIDS edun catioand social service agencies lack fends ds to make James House a reality. Ajax Mayor Steve Parish and Ward Two Councillor Scott Crawford are both strongly in favour of a hospice being established. "I would think that there is a need and I would certainly think that it would be an appropriate matter," says Parish "I don't know what if any funding would be avail- able from government sources, but it's something that should be done." "I would definitely support it," adds Crawford. 'The thing with AIDS is that you don't want to have people die alone. This allows family to be close. It adds comfort to the person who is going to pass away." The idea behind the hospice is simple, says Pigden. "It's an HIV-positive residence. If a son or daughter is HIV posi- tive and the parents might need a break for a week or so, or if someone gets thrown out of the house because they're HIV positive, James House would provide them with a place to stay. There will always be a stigma attached toID AS." he adds, "even though there are cases of HIV in every high school in Durham Region." Mary Brown, communica- tions manager at the Durham Board of Education, says reg- ular AIDS education is "pan of the curriculum. It's mandat- ed by the Ministry of Education„" She insists the board is doing everything it can to promote AIDS educa- tion in the classroom. Pigden has led discussion groups with high school Stu- dents, mainly talking about Tim Mussel and the syndrome that led to his death. He finds that teenagers are very aware of AIDS, very sexually active and very concerned about reducing their risks. -If the board of education ever allowed me to videotape the gmstions that these lids ask they would be shocked,- he says, adding that he is dis- concerted by the ignorance of a community that denies the importance of necessarily - explicit literature that discuss- es AIDS. Pigden expects it will take several years, and not until the number of heterosexual AIDS patients increases dramatical- ly, for attitudes to change. Trudy Reid, executive director of the Whitby -based AIDS Committee of Durham, agrees. "I think there has been a big switch there. It's anybody's disease. The fastest-growing segment of the population is women." The non-profit AIDS committee currently provides individual counselling and support groups to 26 AIDS and HIV-positive patients and 49 family members and friends. Reid says the statistics do not reflect the seriousness of the syndrome's upward trend. It's still such a sensitive topic that many professionals decline comment. Dr. Gillian Gilchrist, a specialist in pallia- tive AIDS cane at Oshawa General Hospital and consid- ered by social service profes- sionals as Durham's foremost authority on AIDS care, refused to comment on the issue, other than to say that "most of our patients go to Toronto for medication." Meanwhile, Pigden and his three-member board of direc- tors continue to try and raise the money for James House through events like dances and karaoke nights. Want to help make James House a reality?

The plant has been operating at reduced capacity for years because of various reactor fail- ures, but this is the first time the entire plant has been closed. Pickering regional council- lor Maurice Brenner believes now is the time to close the plant permanently. "During the past several years a series of events have transpired that would support that the plant is functioning like an old car with constant breakdowns and is ready to be nuclear station scrapped," Brenner said in a news release. "Based on the number of incidents... the Pickering Nuclear Generating Plant has outlived its useful- ness and should be closed per- manently." Brenner is not the only politico questioning the plant's safety record. Politicians from both Pickering and regional council were furious with Ontario Hydro for the response time from the April 17 acci- dent: it was five hours before the leak was detected, 11 hours before the call was placed to the water plant and 14 hours in total before local mayors were contacted. "Is that kind of time line acceptable to the Region of Durham? It is not acceptable," said Ajax Mayor Steve Parish, adding that Ontario Hydro made other mistakes as well. "They were using an outdated (emergency) manual." Regional works chairman John Aker agreed, pointing out Ontario Hydro did not follow :..►►Ontario Hydro Mould be taking on =a bigger role in #his. In my mind �Ihey're not taking <on their fair ,hare." Mayor Wayne Arthurs the "protocol" of procedures- '"nrey even phoned the wrong location. Ajax (water plant) is not a manned location. It was just luck that someone was there to answer the phone." Ontario has yet to respond to this latest series of problems, although they do have some supporters. Toronto-based Canadian Nuclear Association says CANDU reactors used in Pickering are safe, adding Greenpeace is creating "unnec- essary fear and anxiety" by comparing the Pickering plant to Chernobyl. As well, a Pickering worker and member of the Canadian Nuclear Workers Council lashed out at Greenpeace for its allegations the plant is unsafe. "My family lives only a kilo- metre from the plant and I work there every day. The Greenpeace claim that the plant isn't safe is the same thing as accusing me of not caring about my family's health and safety - or that of my friends and neighbors."

The idea was bom after last year's mock emergency exer- cise in Pickering, which sever- al politicians described as a "fiasco." Pickering Mayor Wayne Arthurs said negotiations between the region and Hydro are ongoing, but the region is "not satisfied" with the level of funding the company has offered. "Ontario Hydro should be taking on a bigger role in this. In my mind they're not taking on their fair share." { BALLS . r:. y -.$499D07_:-:-:.. r F�EBOUNS.4 ��'SPORaT„ Bloch Rei & Kingston Rd. 683-3476 Do You Or Someone You Love Have Bad Breatb?

Anyone paying attention to the various augments pat forth in this most recent squabble with the paying public really has cause to wonder at the giant utility's bravado. This is, after all, our company and our money and our safety being played with — and right here on our own turf, too.

Under this association, all member companies must adhere to rigid environmental codes of practice which includes the following topics: Responsible Care - In the area of emergency response, close ties are maintained with the Ajax Fire Department. Assistance is also given to the Town of Ajax with regards to the emergency response plan. As part of a community outreach program, a learning link has been established between DuPont and the Ajax High School. A community advisory process has been established and regular community meetings have taken place with a cross section of the Ajax community. Air Emissions - The DuPont Ajax Site has characterized all air emissions from its manufacturing facilities. Results show that the emission levels are well below all government standards. A program is underway to reduce these levels even further. Waste Management -Waste generated at the site is minimized by recovering solvents and off spec material. All residual waste is segregated and disposed of in accordance to government regulations. Re -cycling programs are in effect for waste paper, cardboard, scrap metal, wood and beverage cans. Product Stewardship - The Refinish segment of the DuPont Finishes Business formed an Environmental Team to focus on how to respond to customer concerns about waste generated through use of their products. The team is looking at ways to help the customer reduce waste they generate and handle the waste generated in a safe and sound manner. 1996 Environmental Program - Some of the major focus points of the environmental program include the following: In 1996, no community complaints were received for odorous emissions or excessive noise levels. The major areas of environmental focus for the Finishes Business in 1996 will be: I.

DuPont is 408 Fairall Ontario Ll 683-5500 - Dupont employees care about the environment 'While other companies stick to the letter of the law on envi- ronmental matters, DuPont Canada makes environmental safety a top priority. From emergency response improvements to community outreach programs; from emis- sion controls to recycling and from pollution prevention to product stewardship, the Ajax company provides responsible care and a total committment to the community and to the environment. The message of environ- mental safety is not lost on DuPont employees. Tricia Boutilier said the chemical company has always been leaders in protecting the envi- ronment. "They're always looking at ways to improve and they've been making the employees aware of the dangers to the environment of not following the guidelines," she said. "Education and awareness; it makes good environmental sense." Fellow employee Dave Sampson says environmental safety is "number one" at DuPont "It's not just for the employ- ees; it's for the community as well. If something were to go wrong it would affect the entire community," he said, adding that the company holds regular safety meetings and inform employees inunodiaaly about any new pis- "There's total comnuttment every day." Ken Burtt apeea "Dupont cares, not only about the envi. ronment, but about safety. They put a high priority on environmental safety here," he said. "In all the companies I've wormed for, rve never seen a company that cared so much about the environment" The recurring theme of envi- ronmental safety surfaced with employee Doug Lawson's comments as well. "It's really number one around here. It's safety, before the job gets done." Kelly Gies pointed out the exceptional ventilation system in the plant, the strong emis- sion controls and the wet waste recycling measures DuPont has undertaken as an example of environmental safety leader- ship. "It's a very safe environ- ment to work in here. They care about the people in the plant and in the community." Paxil Foster, DuPont's envi- ronmental co-ordinator, said the secret is DuPont's committ- ment to making environmental improvements a part of daily company life. 'DuPont has successfully integrated environmental stew- ardship into the business plan- ning. Environmental concerns are not loomed upon as an add- on, but part of doing business. That approach has pushed DuPont beyond just environ- mental compliance. Caring for the �eyn�voo environment makes good business seam" Take the lead!

Savarino feels she has a good shot at being on the team, but if it doesn't work out then she already has one foot in the door. "The next goal is to be a starter." said Savarino. "It's hard just sitting on the bench when you want to be out there playing. I think I have a chance to make it if I try hard enough. Right now they'll tell you you've made it if you're good enough.

Savarino, who plays her soccer with the North York Cosmos, cracked the 30 -player team during the long cold winter sessions out- doors at Lamport Stadium.

During the Christmas season, Savarino anx- iously awaited a letter from the coach which meant she was invited back. Every day she would check the mailbox hoping to find a let- ter addressed to her.

Just about everyone you talk to these days has a cold or flu virus they just can't seem to shake. And while it's easy to blame the miserable weather outside for our health woes, it might just be the air indoors that's making us sick. The problem stems from the fact that practically everything in our modern homes and offices is made of synthetic materials. When these materi- als gas off, they release low levels of volatile, organic chemicals. When this gassing off process takes place in an energy efficient, sealed build- ing, the chemicals build up, and eventually can cause a variety of health effects. This condition is known as "sick building syndrome," and it can cause a number of disturbing symptoms. Fatigue, loss of concen- tration, learning disabilities, headaches, irritability, diges- tive upsets, nausea, nasal and chest congestion, and un- explainable body aches, can all be symptoms of environmental sensitivity. Affected indi- viduals may also find them- selves chronically depressed, especially after spending pro- longed periods of time in con- tained environments. The primary sources of indoor air pollution an con- struction materials, such as Formaldehyde insulation or particle board, interior fumish- ings that include synthetic rugs hnd furniture, and chemical ;leavers. These toxic sub- ttavces release gases that can :anse a variety of disturbing rymptoms. In addition. fames iom gas or oil farnaces can am triggu similar reactions. The good trews is that there s a relatively simple and ivex- wasive way to eliminate these osirns from indoor air: A study Mdorxed by NASA discov- ad drat pleat mots and their associated microorganisms lestr+ol► organic chemicals, acteria and pathogenic viruses ad eventually convert ahem into new plant tissue. The microorganisms break down the toxins into metabolites that provide food for the plants, effectively turning waste into useful energy. The study also indicated that the capacity of plants and pot- ting soil to continuously clean the air actually improves when they are constantly exposed to air containing toxic chemicals. -The microorganisms have the ability to genetically adapt, which increases their ability to utilize toxic chemicals as a food source. Furthermore, the plants are not harmed by the chemical capture process, nor do they emit any toxins. The research team at NASA monitored the effects of three common sources of air pollu- tion: benzene, formaldehyde and a dry cleaning chemical known as TCE, on 14 varieties of plants. Although all of the plants had some effect in reducing the chemicals, some seem to have a greater appetite for certain substances. English ivy, for example, was able to remove 90 percent of the ben- zene from the test chamber. Aloe vera removed an equiva- lent amount of formaldehyde. A variety of philodendrons also proved effective on this chemi- cal. Figures for the dry clean- ing solvent TCE were much lower. The most effective plant for TCE was the peace lily. which was only able to remove 30 percent of this substance from the chamber Wket yearn cors do — Purchase at least one punt for every 100 square feet of interior space in your have or office.

Runnymede Development Corporation, developer of the proposed Somerset Cove community, recently fired off a letter through its law firm to Durham Region Commissioner of Planning Alex Georgieff asking that its case be brought before the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB). At issue is a perceived lack of action on the part of the provincial natural resources ministry with respect to setbacks designed to protect environmentally -sensitive lands that lie around the future residential com- munity. The ministry currently requires 120 -metre setbacks from environmental- ly -significant areas, while the company is asking for setbacks from 50 to 90 metres. An environmental firm hired by Runnymede indicated that the setbacks could be less than the provincial require- ment of 120 metres. "Unfortunately, the Ministry of Natural Resources has not yet finally approved the development concept proposed for the 'adjacent lands' to the Carruthers Creek marsh. Despite numerous meetings and a considerable amount of additional analy- sis by our client, Ministry approval has not been provided and we have no confi- dence that such approval will be forth- coming despite justification for such approval. Our client is not prepared to accept further delay," the letter from the law firm of Aird & Beriis said. A study done for the local action group Citizens for Carruthers by Brooklin environmen- talist Brian Henshaw recommended set- backs in some places of up to 140 metres to protect endangered wildlife in the area, .including many species of birds, mam- mals and reptiles. As well, corridors con- necting the protected areas were recom- mended. Included in the general area is a rare great blue heron nesting colony in the 43 -hectare Warblers Swamp, to the north of the proposed developmertt. On the western side of the site, Carruthers Creek winds down to the Wx, opening into a 13 - hectare marsh. Ajax planning director Peter Tollefson ,said Runnymede's action "comes out of ifrustration on their part. And hani ly I'm sn agreement with them. V1ta've been .,wonting quite diligently on it (the plan of -mbdivision).

" %'so stilt looking to ><esolve this at the logs lev& lk could be a throw at the OMB." -..� ...- ., ' ... yY.' =•mow Jim Blair, Director of Current Operations with Durham Region's planning department called the OMB request "a fairly common thing." He agreed with Tollefson that the waiting period can be lengthy, but added that a pre -hearing could solve the issue "There is a waiting period. It (Runnymede) has to get in the queue for the hearing," said Blair. "Sometimes there's a pre -hearing earlier than that before it actual- ly goes before a formal hearing. If the issues get resolved the application can be with- drawn by the applicant at any time." According to Blair, the OMB has the option to dissolve the 120 -metre require- ment. `Basically what is required is an envi- ronmental impact statement... where the applicant is requesting some form of dis- solvement to get some relief from the 120 - metre zone." Bryan Yachuk, chair for the Citizens for Carruthers, Said his group met with Runnymede on April 10. o "We're cautiously optimistic that there will be some kind of satisfactory solution before the OMB hearing," said Yachuk. c "We've got a good possibility of coming to .5 a resolution. And hopefully we will." 00 Officials with Runnymede and the 40 Ministry of ?natural Resources could not he `c reached for comment.
