The quadruplets were born at just 29 weeks, but are reportedly healthy and keeping their mother Ineke quite busy. 1 pregnancy x 4 babies = lots of everything By Kathy Yanchus SPECIAL TO THE BEAVER Not many diningrooms have cartons and cartons of baby formula stacked high against one wall. Most formal eating areas aren't 'furnished' with plastic baskets over­ flowing with sweatshirts, pants, undershirts, sleepers, and shoes. And not many supplement their decor with mam­ moth white bags of diapers. But then, not many houses are home to quadruplets, either. "Welcome to my life," smiles Ineke Zigrossi as she raises her arms to encompass not one, but four nine- month-old babies. In just four minutes last August, Zigrossi,owner of Abbozzo Gallery in downtown Oakville, and her husband Joe became the proud parents of three boys and one girl -- Blake, Derek, Ryan and Julia. The four tiny heartbeats were discovered during a routine ultrasound after Ineke underwent in vitro fertilization following several unsuc­ cessful and "frustrating" attempts to conceive a child on their own. Their spacious home in Mississauga, for five years a peaceful recluse, suddenly became the chaotic headquar­ ters for four crying infants, bottles, diapers, medical beep­ ers and a steady stream of family, friends, volunteers and medical personnel. The diningroom was transformed into a nursery and there was four of everything. Four cribs, four feeding chairs, a specially-ordered stroller for four and playpens galore. Sheets detailing feeding schedules piled up in a binder. Clothing arrived regularly in the hands of generous donors. And family and friends provid­ ed a wonderful network of support. The babies, bom at 29 weeks, ranged in weight from two pounds, four ounces to three pounds, four ounces and were under one-on-one 24-hour care at Toronto's Mount Sinai Hospital for weeks. Although her pregnancy had been a healthy one, Zigrossi was hospitalized at 24 weeks for bed r^st '.with the babies' arrival not anticipated until October. 4 But the unthinkable happened and Zigrossi went into premature labor late one afternoon and doctors delivered the babies by Caesarean. Nine months later, they are healthy, extraordinarily happy babies with beautiful big eyes, special personalities (See 'Mother' page 4) AECB staff backCanatom proposal By HOWARD MOZEL OAKVILLE BEAVER STAFF While a new low-level radioactive waste storage site has been all but approved by the federal Atomic Energy Control Board (AECB), a residents group opposed to the plan vows to keep fighting. Don Howard, AECB Project Officer - Wastes Impacts Division, announced this week that his staff has concluded the mandatory public review process and plans to submit its licensing recommendation for Canatom Radioactive Waste Services to the Board at its June 29th meeting. If left unchallenged, the decision would end months of intense and emotional debate over Canatom's bid for a Prescribed Substance Licence to set up shop at 1182 South Service Rd. West. Citizens Organized for Responsible Process (CORP) has other plans, however. Member Arleen Reinsborough said Friday that a contingent o f concerned residents will travel to Ottawa for the June 29th meeting to formally outline their opposition. In the 20 minutes set aside for them, Reinsborough explained they will express their fears about the long-term impact of Canatom in Oakville. Issues include possible expansion plans ("No business opens without expansion plans," says Reinsborough) and the possibility for disposal of contaminated animal carcasses and scintillation vials. Amersham Canada Ltd. - a local firm with 20 years expe­ rience and a storage site already in Mississauga - could han­ dle Canatom's waste, said Reinsborough. If approved in spite of their pleas, Reinsborough said her group will look toward a "global boycott" of Canatom and its parent companies, SNC-Lavelin and Monenco-Agra. Canatom's facility would handle only low-level materials (See 'CORP' page 3) Spetial Supplements: Loblaws, Food City, A &P, Union Gas, Canadian Tire, Ultra Mart, Hy& Zeis, Wal-Mart, Biway, Home Depot, Loblaws Insider's Report Hy& Zeis, The Bay, Partial delivery: Alternatives, Fortinas, IGA I J J Q m to d a y 's p a p e r Opinion.... .......... 6 Update..... .........10 Business............ 12 Sports...... ..17-18 Classified.. ...19-24 Canadian Publications Mail Product Agreement Vineyard 20-pc. boxed patio set S ave 50 .00 .
