Mcllwraith photo Town Hail • from page 1 framing and reinforcing of joints and splices of existing frames. An arch in the bell tower (located at the same level as the attic) is, according to B.M. Ross and Associates, showing some distress in the ',mortar and some of 'the bricks appear misaligned er settled. 'ithey noted although the strength of such an assemblage is difficult to determine, there is no doubt as to its importance in con- tributing to the support of the tower. Here, it is proposed to support the bricks with a structural steel frame supported on a steel beam, which in turn would be seated in the abutments of the arch. Following this sup- port, the loose mortar would be removed and the assemblage repointed. The tower itself, is composed of solid brick walls with timbers framed throughout the interior and supporting several plat- 10rms and the bell. Although the timbers ap- pear sound, the platforms and ladders are rotten and make inspection and maintenance hazardous. It is proposed all access ladders be replaced and that new platform decking be placed around the base of these ladders. Other recommendations based on obser- vations at the time of the inspection include the clean up of debris. The attic floor is lit- tered with wood, plaster, crates and dead pigeons. B.M. Ross and Associates noted these shoud be removed to allow air circula- tion and to prevent moisture entrapment which may lead to rot. B.M. Ross and Associates also noted the floor of the bell chamber and the floor of the tower are also heavily littered with debris and pigeon droppings. The debris made in- spection of the decks very difficult and their condition remains unknown. B.M. Ross Teen Missions noted further that dust from pigeon dropp• - ings has the potential to cause serious lung damage and is regarded as hazardous by the Ontario Ministry of Labour - Construc- tion Health and Safety Branch. B.M. Ross and Associates concluded the third floor, roof. and tower have experienced only miners -structural 'deterioration since their construction. Most of the deficiencies found arise from the original structure not • being capable to withstand loads predicted' by the current building codes. The total estimated cost of the proposed repair work is $20,500 - $9,500 to reinforce trusses with steel channels; $2,500 to repair and replace ladders, stairs, and landings in attic area; $2,500 to provide structural steel support for the masonry arch; $1,500 to re • - point masonry at the arch: and $4,500 for engineering. Seaforth Town Council has agreed to for- ward the report to the Chief Building Of- ficial with a request for him to inspect the third floor windows and report and identify those which should be replaced this year under the Designated Property Grant Pro- gram - which funds 50 per cent of the ehg)• ble costs. It will ask Hoffineyer's Mill to sub- mit a quote on the cost of replacing those windows identified by the CBO Other recommendations passed by Seaforth Town 'Council included; inclusion of the costs for the repair and replacement of ladders, stairs and landings in the attic area in the 1989 budget: investigation of other grants to complete the reinforcement of the trusses with steel channels, structural steel support for the masonry arch and re- pointing the masonry arch; and the ar- rangement of a meeting with the Public Works Department to discuss ways and means of cleaning the attic and bell tower of debris and pigeon droppings. • from page 7 "Polish money is very much devalued.

They thanked us for coming, yet we were probably the biggest reapers of the summer." TEEN MISSION Approximately 2,000 teens were sent abroad by Teen Missions in 1988, 150 of them Canadians. In 1989 it is hoped that number will reach 4,000, with 200 of them represen- ting Canada. It's amazing how much teens can ac- complish," said Mrs. Scott, "They are able to cross over political, religious and racial barriers that we as adults seem to have dif- ficulty dealing with. There seems to be a lack of restrictions when you have teens working together." "And they have energy, they really want to do something. That's why Teen Missions wanted to stoke the fire at a young age." "We were in Poland to build, evangelize and do. a combination of both. I spent my whole summer ,being so proud of these kids, probably moreso than they knew," said Mrs. Scott. "The;biggest thing is what these kids can do - and not just the physical laboring, but the growkig. They helped each ,other men- tally and :spiritually as.wefl." Mrs. Scott,aeknowledged that there .were ,problems over the summer, but said the ,overall benefits of the whole summer ,outweiglted•sotne,of the problems that were ..encountered. "Before we went I was excited. Now, I'm still excited. I'm really grateful there was an organization that gave us the opportunity to do something like this. And, I'd like to in- spire readers to take the plunge," said Mrs. Scott. "For anyone who likes working with kids, this is a very rewarding thing to do. Teen Mjssions is in the business of building teens, and giving them a strong basis to go out in the world and cope and excell - and not only spiritually. Teens today are faced with some real scary situations and without a lot of support, and inside fortitude, I don't think they'll make it. Teen Missions allows you to give of your stability and strengths, and to see some of the results of your work. Hopefully 10 years down the road we'll see what kind of adults these kids will have grown into." Teen Missions require that all leaders in their program attend a leadership seminar, and be a committed Christian. Not all the teenagers have strong Christian walks, and will require assistance and guidance. Some of the teens have emotional problems, and others come from juvenile detention centres or from work teams. Others do come from strong, long term Christian backgrounds. All have the potential to excell as human beings. There is no screening of the teenagers, but each must raise his/her own support money, which varies between $2,000 and $3,000 depending on the teen's destination. The majority of that money is used for transpor- tation, food and building supply costs. One hundred dollars is designated to a team in a third world country. This year, two teens from Dashwood will travel to Egypt with Teen Missions, and Mrs. Scott's youngest son Darcy, will join a ,puppet,evaijgelist,tQani for three weeks. A
