CANTER BF EA _ Endorse "building code" resolution Scugog Township Council has endorsed a resolution by the Town of Exeter that calls for the minister of labour to use the standards of the National Building Code that were in effect at the time of the construction or renovat- ion of an arena when determ- ining the structural capabili- ties of the building, provid- ing that the building was originally constructed or re- novated with the approval of the ministry of labour. According to the Exeter's view, the ministry is creat- ing a contradictory element Jin asking for engineering studies to be carried out on the basis of the 1975 National Building Code, for arenas which were built with minis- try approval under the terms of the 1971 code. "If this action is to continue, every municipality that con- structs or repairs an arena under the current standards, will be left in jeopardy, if and when the standards are ever revised according to an Exeter brief. These munici- palities presently have no assurance that a new arena will not be out-of-date within No Scugog rep at CORTS meeting "There will be no Scugog Township representatives at a luncheon meeting of the Canada-Ontario Rideau- Trent Severn Advisory Com- mittee on Aug. 19 at Bobcay- geon. The meeting with the committee was to include all the municipalities that form part of the CORTS corridor. Lake Scugog is part of the system. The meeting has been call- ed so that the committee would explain the organiza- tion and work of CORTS and hear questions and com- ments- from municipal re- presentatives in this sector of the corridor. The meeting with munic- pal representatives will be followed by an evening public meeting on the same day, starting at 7 p.m. This is a continuation of the public meetings to be held this 'year : along: the waterway from Ottawa to Port Severn. The purpose for these meetings is to continue dialogue with con- cerned persons and organ- izations on local and Corri- dor-wide problems and con- cerns. The CORTS Advisory Committee is interested in comments on the Corridor and particularly relative to this part of the waterway or on such topics as trailer, cottage and housing develop- ment along the water and boat speed-wake problems. Coun. Vern Asselstine said that he has attended similar environmental meetings in Lindsay recently, and 'they were all very interesting. He suggested, however, that they are more of a concern of the local chamber of com- merce and suggested that the chamber attend such meetings and that they be designated to represent the township. \ ottedu...Efficiency Living in Florida (Ormond Beach) by Motorcoach Departures every Monday from November 1,'76 14 Day Tours priced from $230. per person (twin) 28 Day Tours priced from $345. per person (twin) 21 DayTours priced from $280. per person (twin) 35 Day Tours priced from $395. per person (twin) All Tours include Ocean Front Balconies. © 21, 28,&35 Day Tours include Fully-Equipped Efficiencies. e prices ineffect from November 1, 1976 to December 13, 1976.

Some arenas which were built with Minis- try of Labour approval, under the 1971 National Building Code, are now deemed unsafe because they don't meet the requirements of the 1975 National Building Code. Whether or not the arena has deteriorated or not doesn't even enter the pic- ture, since buildings are being-subjected to examina- tions which utilize standards which have only been incor- porated since the building was originally built." ~ It is Exeter's position that the Public Health Act of Ontario, with its' regulations which govern the construct- ion, repair and operation of public swimming pools, utilizes a system of exempt- ion clauses which prevents a building from being retroact- ively responsible for new standards which have been adopted after the pool was already built. Unless a similar situation occurs with regards to other public build- ings, such as arenas, an unacceptable double stand- ard exists between the ad- ministrative systems of two Ontario Ministries and the local municipalities become: the scape goats for this inconsistency. "It is not our intention to ask the Ministry of Labour to ignore its' responsibility in guaranteeing the safety of all public arenas. We are asking however, that in their zealousness they not go from the sublime to the ridiculous, for no one can forecast what new standards may be in vogue ten years from now, so how can the Ministry possi- bly expect an arena to meet standards which have been adopted five or ten years after the building has been renovated or constructed. At the same time, though, we cannot expect the Minis- try of Labour to exempt those facilities which were built prior to the date on which the Ministry was given responsibility for the safety standards for arenas. This resolution should apply only to those arenas which have originally been approv- ed by the Ministry of Labour." INVEST NOW!

Use hot water wisely Save energy...Save money Apart from home heating, a family usually consumes the most energy in producing hot water. Here are just a few small things you can do, that can add up to a considerable energy saving. Turn off hot water taps so they don't drip, fill clothes washers to match the size of the load, wait until you have a full load before using a dishwasher and remember showers usually require less hot water than baths. Try not to use more hot water than you need. The Cascade electric water heater will give you a dependable supply of hot water, but it's up to you your hydro AS 3 et in" Nps x N £) ~~ - a 20 RY
