BlankGood luck with your procedure Vickie, and I hope you won’t have much pain.
I know the radiator pipes were wrapped with some sort of insolation, which
could’ve had asbestos in it, not totally sure about that though.

Sure could be. I remember the pipes in the dorms were wrapped. With what?
Does anyone know? I hope Steve is right. but, we all should take extra care
of ourselves, just in case. You know what I mean. In response to Steve’s
message about my dental procedure next week, I do hope there’s not too much
pain as well. One extraction is involved as well as at least two fillings and
some kind of laser cleaning. anyway, I guess if I can’t eat for quite some
time, other than liquefied or soft food, it won’t hurt me. I might even lose
some weight. that would also be a blessing. You see, I can’t eat on the other
side of my mouth either, due to previous extractions. So, that’s why I said
what I said. Take care all. I’ll let you know after the procedure takes place.

Wow, that's very interesting! Do you guys think that this would have anything
to do with why so many students develop cancer later on in their lives!?

EPA, state agencies investigating asbestos removal at Lansing site . LANSING
- The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is conducting a criminal
investigation into asbestos removal practices at the former Michigan School for
the Blind site, a representative
of the property's co-owner said Wednesday. Jeff Burdick, executive director
of the Ingham County Land Bank, said he was notified on Tuesday that EPA
employees were at the site. Some of the buildings on the site are being
demolished so the property can
be redeveloped. RELATED: Former school for the blind could become apartments
"The EPA told me it is a criminal investigation, that's the term they used,"
said Burdick. "They assured me it was not with the land bank or the other owner
of the property but
with MAC Contracting. The investigation is based on allegations workers on
the site at 715 W. Willow Street were removing asbestos in an unsafe manner,
Burdick said, adding he did not know where the allegations originated. "I had
the contract we have
with MAC suspended pending the gathering of further information," Burdick
said. "They're not be performing work on the site. Burdick said the demolition
project was investigated earlier this year by the Michigan Department of
Environmental Quality. The
investigation resulted in DEQ issuing a citation and fining the land bank for
violating federal regulations related to the release of air pollutants. Burdick
declined to identify the amount of the fine. A DEQ spokesman did not respond to
requests for
comment. RELATED: From the Archives: Michigan School for the Blind "It was a
contractor issue," Burdick said. "It was settled in mid to late July. Since
then, we've had close monitoring of the contractor. According to its website,
Mac Contracting is a
12-year-old company located on Lake Lansing Road. A message seeking comment
was left with the company. A spokeswoman for the Michigan Oc'cup'ational Safety
and Health Administration told the State Journal the agency is conducting
inspections of MAC Contracting,
the Ingham County Land Bank and Preservation Non-Profit Housing Corp., the
property's other co-owner. "It is MIOSHA's understanding that the DEQ Asbestos
NESHAP program and also the EPA Criminal Investigation Division began their own
separate investigations
at the site on April 2," the agency said in a statement.
