covered by insulation Just as the rear of the home to the right Insulation a total barrier and its made here The man knows his insulation That s why Jack Carpenter well known radio personality had no qualms about covering his brick bungalow on Elizabeth Drive with this sort of white stuff although his neighbours were aghast They certainly wondered what was covering my bricks with said Carpenter and why Well folks it urethane and its made locnly at Condecor in Its what both the manufacturer and carpenter call complete Insulation The product comes in t clonic sections it light weighing only a few ounces The back Is cheesy coloured while the front is facebonded concrete with a stucco like finish It fits in supported by stee backing like a It not brick a panel or a sheet Its a total insulation barrier said Carpenter Its level of insulation RAT is extremely high The higher the the higher the insulation value There are no variations lot R in In this wall Carpenter added pointing to the back outside wall of his home He had it read with an electrothermometer Carpenter was shop ping for insulation but found out about Condecor through research for a story he was doing He said he talked to several homeowners who In with the product as well as a Catholic Church in Brampton Everyone I talked to was Impressed The priest at the Church said the building could be heated all week just through body heat and insulation from Sunday Carpenter said it was easy to put together requiring no special tools He cuts it with a hand saw Hes been up the insulation his spare time so far taking a year He said he finished about sections a day Its great for a handyman He said he started with the basement lost year has the back and by the time this article Is printed the front of the home completed Last year Carpenter hes had a 40 per cent savings In gallons of fuel And he added there are no cold spots in the house from floor to ceiling With his in sulation the fireplace in the basement can heat the house quite easily A square foot costs about to the outside of his home No mess No fuss Carpenter said the product can be put on the inside but it would require tearing down existing walls He pointed out how difficult It would be to Insulate around wiring and plumbing This way he added there are no holes no frost infiltration It completely waterproof and weatherproof and it seals windows and frames is leaving on the stucco- like ap pearance and changing his brick bungalow into a home But he says almost any exterior can be added including brick veneer or siding And his neighbours They think its a great idea In the last few days it has become known as the penalty box and some Acton children have spent time in this sin bin A plywood booth about the of a phone booth with a shielded light bulb near the top of the nine foot walls is used as a cooling off spot for emo tionally disturbed child ren In a special class for troubled children at George Kenned School in Georgetown Local principals Doug Magwood and Ron Chat ten said the booth isnt used in Acton schools and never has been to their knowledge since there arent programs here for emotionally disturbed pupils They both said they dont really know too much about the booth just what they have read in newspapers ActonEsquosing trus tee Betty Fisher said she knew nothing about the booth but that George town trustee Barry Shep herd was made aware of it because he represents the area where the school with the booth Is located Fisher contends she should have been made aware of the booth since pupils In the class where It is used come from nil over Hills In this particular case children from Acton are involved too Every parent who has a child In that class knows and approves of the use of the limeout booth says George Hea ver Area Superintendent of Special Seivices for the northern area for Board of The timeout booth has no seat windows nor inside handle and sits in a storage space next to the classroom The use of the booth has been suspended until further direction from the board Both Heaver and Principal Jack Reed insist the booth is used only as a last resort when the child Is out of control and Is only one of a scries of techniques used in the class of only three child rcn this year for short periods of up to ten Teacher Sharon John son and child care worker Lois Clark arc in charge of the class far troubled children as Heaver terms the dents He said positive ap proaches such as praise and congratulations arc used primarily but some of the children have trouble controlling their emotions and outburst so the timeout booth Is for serious cases By setting limits and known consequences for failure to live up to the known standard we aim to have the child learn to set limits on ant social behavior The Area Superlntcn dent emphasized the judgment of the people using such a technique is of the most Importance and said the teacher is highly skilled the child care worker a profes sional and the principal first rate It is support by a first rate psycho logist and If all these people combined feel it is a good idea Im sure there Is no harm to the child Principal Jack Reed explained in the year 7B and 79 there were children In the class with six of them at some time during the year using the Timeout booth Reed emphasized Today all these children are integrated into the regular school classes and are functioning That a pretty good track record and speaks well for the staff Heaver pointed out Kennedy School takes the difficult problem child ren for many other school areas because of the In sight and sensitivity of the staff Heaver made it clear the parents know about the booth and all other techniques and con tended the children can not be in the class at ail without the consent of the parents He maintained schools now have the res pons I for a far wider range of children than they ever did before so more and more special classes of all kinds are being established In the whole of Halton last year there were students in this program with of the success fully Integrated into regular classes now said Heaver Five arc not yet In regular classes class Asked what happens if nothing works Heaver replied They may have to attend day sessions at Clark Institute A similar program in a school in Illinois is med successful by the staff but Is being by some psycholo gists and psychiatrists I support the behav ioral class program and perhaps a separate room where students can cool off but I definitely do not support the use of a box to put kids In stated Fisher She warned against the project a witch hunt for Kennedy School which she described as a terrific school with dedicated staff GOOD REASOHS TO GIVE US A TRY BEFORE YOU BUY Personal In- Home
