PAGE 2, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 'l3, 1982, WHITBY FR-E PRESS PCB removal costs too much: Dellrt The cost of removing potentially dangerous chemicals from Whit- by's Fairview Lodge Homne for the Aged, May be too high accordlng to the chairman of Durham Regional Coun- cil's social services committee. Regional Councillor John DeHart (Oshawa), committee chairman, said last week that the chemicals do not pose a threat to the residents of the Dundas Street West facility. DeHart estimates the cost of removing the chemicals at $10,000 and that he will not support spending the funds' to remove them. The chemicals in question are polychior- inated biphenyls (PC- Bs) which are used as coolants -in the home's hydro sub-station. Should a- fire ever break out there is a possibility that the resi- dents and staff could b e exposed to the cancer causing substance1 if it Ieaked out. The substance has been in'use in the home for the laet 30 years and was to be removed as part of a $2.4milo renovation project at the home.ý 1IHowever, Durham Regional Council has been told that the cost of renovations has jumped by $1 million. This has caused council to re- examine the project in an effort to cut costs. It has been suggested that one of the im- provements to be elimhi- nated would be the one to remove the PCBs. Whitby Regional Councillor Tom Ed- wards, a member of the committee, said that the, chemical should be removed to protect the residents and the fire- fighters that might have to respond to an. emer- gency at the lodge.>> The committee's recommendations con- cerning the home are expected to be before regional council at its meeting next week. Mhile DeHart said heý would flot support the expenditure he admitt- ed that Edwards may get enough support to have the chemicals removed. 201 peoplýe sign petio calirig fora bus termma1 leasing prime retail space Iocated on the ground floor of the Ontario Government Building, under construction at King and Centre Streets, Oshawa.

A. petition signed by about 200 Whitby resi- dents has called for the construction of a proper bus- terminal in the town. The petition was raised by Martha Bremner and a friend and covered only part 0f the older residential area of the town where she lives. She - presented the petition to Mayor. Bob Attersley last week who has given it to public works director Dick, Kuwahara to include in a special report he is preparing on ail bus ser- vices in the town. Attersley said last week that he was mor than pleased wîth the petition and agrees that a bus terminal would be a great asset to the town. "There's no question that we're goinig to have to take a look at that,"' he said. The mayor indicated that. he has, held, some preliminary discussions with both GO Transit and Voyageur Bus Lines and that both ýseem receptive to the ides. He added that they might also be willing to put up some of the cost. "We do need some kind of terminal," At- tersley said pointing out that grant money may also be available for the project.. One possible location for a bus terminal is the fire hall on Brock Street South. For the last two or three years, politi- cia'ns have indicated- that it should bemoved primarily because' of traffic problems ýon Brock, Street during the rush hours. During the peak periods, lire vehicles are of ten delayed because of heavy traf- f ie. The station has several advantages for use as a bus terminal. Firstly, it would only require renovation' and that its bays are already large enough to ac- commodate buses. Being in the down- sals Co0ntinues. Super Savinas ~MON.

However, it is now known when the fire sta- tion will be moved or under what conditions. It could be several yesrs before a decision is made. Attersley said that he was surprised when Bremner presented the petition to him. "She just walked in to my office and shocked me." he said. "I think we're coming of age in Whitby and we should have an internal connection point," At- tersley-added. The bus service, he continued, Is gaining in popularity. "We have received more compliments than we have ever received on the bus system."1 Kuwahara's report is expected to be forward-, ed to council In the neer future - prob ably during budget discussions.
