and day care centres will be safe from high lead levels if taps are flushed each morning a Halton Regional health report released last week says Six Ontario schools tested by the CBC Canadian Broadcasting Cor poration last December were found to have lead levels higher than the ministry of the environ ment guideline of SO parts per billion ppb of lead Abbey Lane School in was the only school that tested over the allowable lead level The lead level reports prompted a provincewide testing of all 3800 elementary schools and 21 hfgh schools Halton Hills tested its elementary schools arenas and day care centres Lead exposure can cause elevated blood pressure in adults and can impair a childs learning abilities if she or he is exposed to it the Regional health report says Lead exposure can cause biochemical changes impairment of the bloodforming process changes in kidney function and Vitamin metabolism and ner vous system disease But water pipes tested in Halton Hills got a clean bill of health The Maple Avenue Nursery School the Little Cherub Nursery School and Nerval Nursery were within safe limits of lead in water at 64 46 and 26 ppb of lead respectively Acton Arena Georgetown Memorial Arena and Gordon Alcott Arena tested below SO of lead at 66 for Acton 31 ppb fbr Georgetown arena and 77 of lead at Alcott Milton day care centres didnt fare as well in the joint ministry of education and- ministry of the en vironment survey The Primary Colours registered lead levels of 170 ppb before being flush ed with water to clean out lead buildup The pipes registered lead at 33 ppb when retested The Safe and Sound Childrens Centre in Milton registered 33 ppb of lead when tested The primary cause of lead levels in Water is the lead solder used in pipes plumbing fixtures and lead lines the Regional report says But the water running through school and daycare pipes is safe This survey showed that lead should not be a problem in drinking water at schools if the schools pro perly flush their plumbing each morning Homeowners fight garden centre By DONNA KELL Herald Staff Some Sixth Line Stewarttown residents angrily opposed a ing application for what they say is an illegal garden operation south otSlderoadlS Halton Hills councillors received a petition from 24 Sixth Line residents who say the application by Jose Lima to his 19acre property from agricultural to com mercial use is setting a bad prece dent They also said Mr Limas property is up for sale Surely this attitude encourages individuals to cheat the system a letter to town councillors said Why would any businessman buy expensive commerciallyzoned property when it is so easy to agricultural land Mr Lima was not present to speak In his own defense His lawyer Bert Arnold said he was not aware of any specific in tent to sell the Sixth Line proper ty but said he would consult with his client Councillors heard that Mr Lima has been using the land for a nursery since the spring The Sixth Line residents say this is a approach to gaining commercial land Residents at Monday nights public meeting in the Halton Hills Civic Centre said they were con cerned with wells in the area going dry and with increased truck traf fic from the nursery operation Sixth Line resident Jack Lemay said the nursery operation is a fait accompli He said the town will likely not reject the application The answer we will get is well that fellow is an entrepreneur and we dont really want to shut down his operation at this point in time Mr asked councillors if they were going to railroad the application through the approval process This isnt just a simple taking of an agricultural land and making it into a garden centre he said The property is also up for sale This has happened simultaneously with the zoning application We have to question the sinceri ty of the appliant he said George Lock who owns a chicken farm beside the Lima property said his operation could be in jeopardy Weve got two wells and the water levels in the wells are quite low and one is already dry Mr Lock told- those at the public meeting We are really in trouble here his wife Ankje added We will have to certainly go of business If we have no water we The letter attached to the residents petition said that Mr Limas existing well has run dry several times over the summer We are concerned that existing water wells on the property are not adequate to serve a nursery- garden centre operation the let ter to town councillors said By rejecting Mr Limas ap plication for rezoning council will confirm to residents of Hills that they place a value on the agriculturalresidential character of Hills Town planning staff will review the input from the public meeting and the water requirements for the site before approving or denying Mr Limas application WELCOME TO HALTON HILLS Evaryoni rada small ads OZI5CLL RIB ALL YOUR PLUMBING WEEDS the HERALD EiutliMe 775201 ft If POMPEI PIZZERIA i SUBS to
