"Afterall, you're on the job to work, not smoke," she says. Stating that non-smokers should speak up more often, C.6-'1 ni says she often asks smokers not to 1 ght up around her though the reaction is. malty less than friendly. "One smoker got et n I told her to stand Jr the doorwayreallyupsof mywheoffice if she wanted to alk to me while she smoked. I also used to t 11 another smokeir how nice it. was when he wasn't in the office," she says. Cicchini says a compromise between smokers and non-smokers would involve using an air ecologizer bought by the smoker. "It isn't fair to expect the com- pany to pay fpr it," she says. Other ways to protect the lungs of non- smokers. would be to ban smoking during meetings, telrhew employees that the cent p any doesn't encourage smoking on the job and designate stroking and non- smokin areas, she says. Cicchini says she's also tried encourag- ing smokers to quit by supplying thein with articles on the subject and giving moral support. But, in her .fight to protect herself from secondhand smoke, Cicchini has become somewhat cynical "I don't think companies will ban smok- ing in -the workplace unless it's legislated and they have to," she says. Thntigh there Are nnn-smokintP, UrOF1' of Sheaffer Pen, management doesn't en- force the regMations too strictly, says Royce Lain, chief accountant in personnel. "1 personally don't smoke and i don't like to make a big fuss of it. It's not a big issue around here. Some people do com- plain but there's no real objection," he says. '!'hough employees don't usually smoke in the factory at Sheaffer Pen, the cafeteria becomes very smokey after the half hour Birch break, says Lam. ' "With .two dozen people smoking, the whole place is smokey." -We • • We put up . notices and non-smoking posters but people keep tearing them down; But, if the employees make a big issue of it, we'll have to listen," he says. Secondhand smoke is concern in Huron . What secondhand smoke is and what it does to your health has been a concern of callers to the Httron County Health Unit, ssaultant. Sheryl Gilbert, health education con - "Secondhand smoke is worse than the smoke the smoker inhales because the con- centration of chemicals is higher," she says. Her statement is backed up by evidence from the Canadian Cancer Society which says two-thivds of all smoke from cigaret- tes goes into the environment instead of the smoker. The contents of secondhand smoke in- clude tar, nicotine, carbon monoxide, cad- nrinirr, nitrogen dioxide, ammonia, benzene, formaldehyde and hydrogen sulphide. Much of the hazard of secondhand • smoke is carbon monoxide which causes a fr person to be sleepy and•dull, steals oxygen from the bloodstream and reduces lung capacity by,scarring the small airways of the lungs. Secondhand smoke also contains cadmium, a suspected forerunner of em- physema and other lung disorders. During a federal hearing in 1985 into the hazards of tobacco smoke in the workplace, the American Environmental Protection Agency. estimated that 500 non- " smokers are killed every • 'year by the resulting lung 'cancer from tobacco smoke. The agency also said that smokers sub- ject non-smokers to cancer risks 100 to 250 times greater than acceptable en- vironmental staiidardsa "Some people still think there's no con elusive evidence linking smoking to lung cancer but research after research in- dicates that link exists," says Gilbert. • Though non-smokers are often hesitant to speak up about secondhand smoke, Gilbert encourages thorn. "Some smokers will be defensive but rnost will be accommodating and not smoke around you. I think it's better to say something and work it out," she says. • Substations. named after PUC pioneers The respected contributions of former utility commissioners will live on as the present commission- has named four substations after the PUC pioneers.

MacEwan, a commissioner from 1948-63. His descendents include wife Agnes and daughter, Eleanore Scott of Meaford and Don of Goderich. The substation was opened in 1980 and' the commission included; chairman, Herb Murhpy; vice chairman, Dr. Jim Peters; commissioners Len Sheardown and Albert Shore and mayor Harry Worsell. Al Lawson was the PUC manager and the present manager, Evert Middel, was the electric superintendent. Substation No. 2 on Britannia Road east, was dedicated to John B. Kelly became manager of the Goderich PUC in'1898 at age 40 and retained the job until his retirement 50 years later at age 90. Born in Blyth in 1859, he was the son of Patrick Kelly and Mary Walsh. In 1884, Kelly claimed to have built the first car in the world, a steam buggy. motivated by steam and chain driven. He • drove the car during the summer and fall of 1884 but dismantled the machine after. people , complained -that it frightened the horses. Kelly began working for the Goderich PUC at age 40 and was the only electrical engineer west of Toronto. He was credited with installing several electrical systems in small towns inSouthwestern Ontario. A newspaper article saggests Kelly installed the first electric light plant in Blyth and was a highwheel bicycle artist who teethed with an ice skater and appeared in several ice carnivals. Having taken a correspondence course In steam engineering, Kelly began working on a horseiess carriage ' in 1884, two years beforeany car patents were registered. He had it running that year but dismantled it because of the uproar it caused. He did not apply for a patent because he felt the creation would never be used: The machine looked like abuggy, had four wheels and used steam and coal oil for fuel. It had two seats, although nobody ever rode with him, and a lever for steering. The parts for the car came from various towns in the area. He drove' the car mostly around his father's mill in Blyth. In 1898, 'after his father had died and the mill was sold, Kelly was ,convinced by Dr. Reginald Shannon and Senator Proudfoot, to take charge of the town's electric light plant. And that he did working for the Goderich commission for 50 years until the age of 90. • CO MG RATU 141T1OMS TO OUR FIRST MICROWAVE WINNER!
