(Photo by Cath Wooden) Perth residents start group protesting foam BY STEPHANII r LEVESQUE Residents in Perth County had the opportunity to register as members of the Perth County Homeowners with • Urea Formaldehyde Foam Insulation on August 17. This meeting followed a July 27 meeting held in St. Marys in which residents from all across the county attended. Residents from Huron County were invited to the August 17 meeting: Robert Ostlers of St. Marys originally started,, the meetings, after discovering that his house was insulated with Urea Formaldehyde Foam. What' started as a meeting for citizens in St. Marys, snowballed into a county -wide concern. "I felt the people of St. Marys weren't aware of the trouble (with the foam)," said Mr. Ostler. Mr. Ostler attended meetings in London where Health and Welfare Canada presented its final advisory information on UFFI. Mr. Ostler termed the findings "hideous". A permanent ban on UFFI was placed in the spring"of this year by the federal government. Mr. Ostler said the HUFFI organization sprouting up across Canada aren't meant to go after anybody, rather they would like, to see the federal government provide financial assistance in removing the UFFI from Canadian homes. A con- servative figure of homes af- fected in Canada is 100,000.

'of Hope Run across Canada raised more than $23 million for cancer research.- • Terry's Run "The night before my am- putation, my former basket- ball coach brought me a magazine with an article on an amputee who ran in the New York Marathon. It was then that I decided to meet the new challenge and not only overcome my disabili- ty, but conquer it in such a way that I could never. look back and say it disabled me. Somewhere the hurting must stop ... and I was determined to take myself to the limit for this cause," said Terry in a letter to major businesses. News of . Terry's plan. reached Peter. Martin, Vice President and General Manager of the Four Seasons Hotel in Vancouver, who requested 'accommoda- tion for Terry in the Chain's hotels across Canada. The Momentum Begins The Four Seasons agreed not only to provide .accom modatiion and' food' for Terry and his companions but also pledged two dollars per mile for Terry's 5,700 mile run. Terry • began his run ' on April 12,1`80, dippin his ar- tificial leg into the Atlantic' Ocean at St. John's New- foundland. ewfoundland. Rising at 4 a.m. every ,morning and running until 4 'p.m. with breaks .for food and rest, Terry com- pleted an average of 26 miles each.day. „ Canada Weeps By the summer Terry had . run through . five provinces. and Was in Southern Ontario. The run continued through the cities and communities of Ontario until that September day when Terry arrived in Thunder Bay and it was discovered the cancer had spread to his lungs. • After 144 days and 3,339 miles for the Marathon of • Hope, the, run was discon- tinued. Four Seasons Chairman, Isadore Sharp, immediately sent a telegram to the Fox family pledging to keep Terry's dream alive: "Dear Terry; The Marathon of Hope has just begun. You started it.

MEM maw 4110 OPEN ALL DAY WEDNESDAY & FRIDAYS Till 9 Mr. Ostler pointed out that if there is a national disaster, such as flooding, the government provides financial aid. "This is a quiet, insidious thing," Mr. Ostler said of the UFFI. Mr. Ostler said he couldn't say What the effects of the UFFI are, but there have been reports of respiratory problems and nausea. "It's a non -stable pro- duct," said Mr. Ostler, Another problem is the resale value of the house. Mr. Ostler said he has heard that a real estate board around London would not'list houses insulated with the Urea Formaldehyde Foam. "We (HUFFI) have lost the ability of turning our assets (house) into cash," said Mr. Ostler. Mr. Ostler said the history of UFF1 goes back to use in the United States and Europe during the mid - fifties. It was first used in Canada in 1969, after being accepted by the Canadian Mortga and Housing Cor- poratIh 1970, CM:HC found the UFFI unacceptable because it was .found to shrink. In 1977, the CNIIC reaccepted UFFI as a safe product. The problem of shrinkage was apparently solved.` Also in 1977, the Canadian Home Im- provement Program (CHIP) accepted UFFI. In 1978, Dr. R. Viau, Con- sumar and Corporate Affairs chemical, director, warns of the use of UFFI. In 1979,,. testing with rats shows a link to cancer _ with low emission of gas from UFFI. An accep- table level is °.05 parts per Million. Some homes have a level of 2.6 parts per million. In November of 1979, the television program Market Place raises concerns on UFFI. In the same month, the state of Massachusetts bans the sale of . UFFI and orders it removed from public buildings. During the year 1980, many new developments take place. The province of Saskatchewan investigates the problem, the United States, after reports, ,,issues warnings on the product, and Health and Welfare Canada sets up a special committee. In November, the U.S. Con- sumer Products Corporation reports ncer inks e threat tocahumans.lOn Decar. 1a7 of that year, Health and Welfare Canada puts a tem- porary ban on UFFI. On April 23, of this year, following a final report from the committee set up by Health and Welfare Canada, UFFI is permanently bann- ed in Canada. Besides setting up HUFFI organizations throughout the country, Mr. Ostler said a petith,n oeuig signed by homeowners with Urea For- maldehyde Foam Insulation to be sent to the government in Ottawa. The petition in part states, "As the owner, of a home with Urea Formaldeyde Foam Insulation, 1 wish to urge the government to establish a proper approach to remove the health hazard.," Mr. Ostler said HUFFI believes that ' health tests should be conducted 'in all homes with UFFI., He also stated proper , equipment should be used. • In answer to a question, Mr. Ostler said not all foam insulation • is Urea For- maldehyde Foam Insulation. He also said he has not heard anything from companies that install insulation. Mr. Ostler said HUFFI is going through the proper channels to solve the pro- blem. He added . that "squeaking wheels" get oil- ed faster than a wheel that makes no noise, to coin a familiar phrase. "I'm optimistic, said Mr. Ostler. ` We can tool you up for any fix -up project.
