TOWN CENTER ORTHODONTICS 2 4 3 N o rth Service R o a d , W est S u ite 3 0 1 , O a k v ille (905) 849-1717 Barrie Erskine · Oakville Beaver Helen Veldhuis, product manager for Cutler-Hammer, demonstrates the arc fault circuit breaker. Statistics indicate that more than 35 per cent of all resi dential fires are caused by electricity. According to Goodyear, close to 110 deaths occur in Ontario each year due to fire -- 14 per cent of these by caus es in private residences that are electrical in nature. Because o f this threat from arcing -- and now a technological mfcans o f protection -- the O ntario Electric Code now stipulates that AFCIs must be installed in all bedroom receptacle circuits in all new residential home construction -- the first Canadian province to do so. Already in use in several U.S. states, AFCIs are gaining high praise. In an August 2001 letter to Eaton Corporation chair and CEO Alexander Cutler, for example. National Association of State Fire Marshals president George Miller wrote, "Your company's invention of the arc fault circuit interrupter promises to be the most important step forward for fire prevention since the introduction of smoke detectors." Chris Jouppi, General Manager of EATON CutlerHammer Canada, explained that AFCIs were invented in 1994 and years of testing have proven that the technology is one about which the company is very proud. "We're helping the electric industry and fire prevention services to make sure disasters don't happen," said Jouppi. So sensitive is the technology that "good" arc faults -- such as the start-up of electric motors in refrigerators and power drills -- can be distinguished and are disre garded. "Only arc faults with the potential to start fires are tripped by AFCIs." Jouppi added.

Over the last few years, the plantselling industry has seen an increase in the number of temporary outlets selling flowers, bedding plants, Easter arrange ments and Christmas trees, said Danny Mazzilli, owner of Fantasy Fruit Markets. He told Town of Oakville councillors at Monday night's Planning and Development Council meeting that tem porary set-ups hurt year-round local businesses like his. "We're here 365-days-a-year, and this is a very vital and important time for us," Mazzilli said. "We rely on this time of year to help us carry our expenses throughout the year." Added Kevin Joyce, a partner in Cudmore's Garden Centre, "It's easy to make money in this business in April, May and June." The pair is particularly concerned about the temporary greenhouse set up at the comer of Lakeshore and Jones Roads in Bronte. Operated under an arrangement with Sobeys, the greenhouse was recently granted a five-year approval to set up shop in the Bronte Village Mall parking lot for the months of April through June. At Monday meeting. Ward 1 Councillor Ralph Robinson introduced a motion to appeal that decision, granted by the Committee of Adjustment (COA), to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB). Robinson suggested there was too little public input into the original deci sion to allow the greenhouse, that a fiveyear variance is not a minor one, as was applied for, and that the greenhouse has a negative impact on the Bronte streetscape. "It's a large structure of a rather grotesque appearance located at one of the main intersections in downtown Bronte," said Robinson. But Bob Roubos, who runs the greenhouse operation, believes the Town shouldn't be involved in regulat ing competition. "That's what this is really about -- competition," he said. Roubos grows about 4,000 varieties of bedding plants on two farms in Stoney Creek and Thorold, and operates other temporary retail outlets in Hamilton, Stoney Creek and Mississauga. He says the application for the minor variance, a building permit and engi neered drawings of the greenhouse cost him about $2,000. Roubos. added that a number of similar temporary gardening centre operations are in place throughout the town. After a short in-camera discussion, councillors voted 7-5 not to appeal the COA decision permitting the Bronte greenhouse.
