Despite the carnage wrought in Metro by the restructuring juggernaut - hos- pital closures and massive lay- offs were left in its wake - Bruce Cliff says the future for local hospitals is bright indeed. '"lune idea of restructuring the hospital, to make it more cost- efficient, I don't have any con- cems with that," says Cliff in a state -0f -the -union address. "I feel very positive about the commission's presence and about what the outcome will be. "You have to put a positive spin on this: I see additional dollars coming to Durham to support our population growth." Besides, Cliffs adds, nothing the commission has done (in Metro) or will do (in Durham), should come as a surprise to hospital administrators. Cliff believes the commis- sion will adhere to the findings of Durham's 1995 Acute Care Study - "with some modifica- tions" - which recommended full-service hospitals in Oshawa and Ajax and the conversion of Whitby General into a regional rehabilitation centre. Py Gknn Hendry Durham politicians agree that the province's plans to establish a Greater Toronto Arca Services Board should be scrapped - What What they had difficulty with last week was in agreeing how the board should be smw- tured, should Queen's Park, as expected, ignore regional con - "We certainly support that direction. The restructuring is needed It'll give us a more cost-effective system with improved quality and better co- ordinated delivery of services to patients." Metro hospitals had their own herald of the future - the Metro Acute -- Care Study - so "There Toronto admin- to be m istrators did have efHeetly+ an idea of the nit's tai drastic changes mot in the works, Cliff adds, point- Presider ing out that 9,000 beds have closed in Metro facilities in the past five years. "Sure the job losses have an economic and human impact. and I don't think anyone takes any pleasure out of reducing staff and putting people out of work" he says. "But the other side of the coin is there is a need to be more cost-effective because it's taxpayers' money." Whitby residents are split on the proposed changes - the loss of a local emergency care facil- ity has naturally drawn some opposition - but Cliff believes Ajax -Pickering General, situat- ed halfway between Scarborough Centenary and Oshawa General, is in a good position to provide treatment for its neighbors. While Cliff is painting a rosy picture of Durham's health care future, he also acknowledges the predicted t a need growth at Ajax - ire cost- Pickering because General is payers' because of 1r.» painful changes &we Ciff that have already A -P Hospital occurred. The hospital carried 127 acute care beds four years ago; the facility has just 101 now. As well, provincial funding was slashed $1.9 mil- lion last year (although they gained $13 million back for "growth funding") and Cliff is looking at another $13 million in reductions for this fiscal year. With the expected changes, however, the hospital should regain some of those lost beds, bringing the acute care total to 122, plus another 20 mental health care beds. The hospital president also expects to win back the care of some local residents who have to drive into Toronto for treat- ment, "because we don't have the capacity here." Cliff sees upgraded technol- ogy as the trigger for all the changes in health care, noting that patients are routinely dis- charged the same day for treat- ments that used to require long hospital stays. But new medical advancements are only part of the story, he adds. "It's part of a paradigm shift; the world is shifting. You can see it in telecommunications, in the way we do business; the way we think," he explains. "We live in a world where change happens everyday. And that's the common way to do business. And it's not going to go away. "You have to look at the big picture. There's no place in the world, whether it's Europe or the United States, where they're not doing restructuring." Durham's District Health Council has until April 4 to sub- mit its plan for restructuring. The commission is expected to have its fatal report ready by June or July.

What drives many of tic crazy are politicians like Ajax Mayor Steve Parish who, rather that: finding a bma way to amalgamate. simply defends the status quo. Steve, wake up and smell the coffee, we're not blaming you for the fact that the current regional government needs fixing. But what we do expect from the politicians who we elect is leadership.

Choosing his words very carefully, Roger the Dodger stated it was the "responsibility of each elected official to seek out each and every way of delivering services to the taxpayers in the most lost -effective fashion." Good for Anderson to speak UP; opposing the head -in -the -sand viewpoint of Parish Talk is one thing but action is something different- Will Anderson translate his words into action? Is there a battle for mayor heating up between Anderson and Parish this fall? Both these veteran politicians have their own unique style in dealing with issues and don't often see eye to eye. Critics of Parish are quick to remind us that he was never elected by the public at large as mayor but rather was select- ed by fellow councillors to the post when Jim Witty was anointed regional chairmm.

Its primary purpose may very well have been to impose a massive CPP tax hike on Canadians. It won*t wort. Taxpayers will soon realize that the Liberal government has hammered them with the biggest tax grab in Canadian history. worse, this tax grab falls most heavily on young Canadians just entering the job market. It will likely drive many bright, hard- working young Canadians with marketable skills out of the country. Finally, if Chretien and his fellow, Liberal MPs want us to pay higher CPP premiums, they should ort back their own gold-plated MP pension. On that issue, however; the budget was strangely S&UL That's why it's time for taxpayers to speak up.

"v;eiI wA remerr I Vision TV presents the television premiere of Vigil of Hope, documentary filmmaker Vladimir Bondarenko's moving account of the mystery and unresolved grief surrounding the Lost Boys, six teenage boys who disappeared in the icy waters of Lake Ontario on St. Patrick's Day, 1995. The one-hour documentary airs on Wednesday, March 26 at 9:30 pm ET/PT. Dramatization. news footage. interviews with families, friends. police detectives. air/sea search and rescue teams, bereavement counsellors and North America's leading forensic psychic. (Dorothy Allison, who also worked with the FBI on the Leslie Mahaffey case) are used to recount the compelling and unexplained tragedy. Two years ago, after a midnight "March Break" party, a group of boys aged 16 to 18 stole a boat and disappeared with a case of beer on Lake Ontario off Pickering. No trace of the teenagers has ever been found. The case is still open, and the fate of Jay Boyle, Chad Smith. Robbie Rumbolt, Jamie Lefebvre. Mike Cummins and Danny Higgins has remained a mystery, leaving a legacy of unresolved pain for their families and friends. C S { I-] L i bers JS %F Hope" Lost Bovs Vigil of Hope captures the agony of coming to terms with a child's death when there is no physical "proof' of the loss. "With no bodies", says one of the mothers, "how do you grieve'" The documentary follows the exhaustive search for the boys by police and hundreds of volunteers; the unanswered and mysterious questions surrounding the disappearance; the rumors that the teenagers ran off to Florida or California; and the slow and heartbreaking loss of hope of their families and friends. "It's a story of the lack of closure and grieving," says Bondarenko. "It's also a mystery - an unresolved search and rescue story. But the documentary is mainly about the survivors. It's a tribute to the courage of the parent, living with the unknown, and a memorial to their lost sons." Vladimir Bondarenko is an award-winning producer /director whose films include the Gemini nominated "Speaking of Courage" and "Voices to Remember', two poignant documentaries about people who live with a stutter. Vigil of Hope is produced by Condor Productions (David Lancaster and William R. Hunt, producers), in association with Vision TV.

These imbalances usually show up as painful feet, or other secondary problems such as knee, hip or even low back pain. The elderly often lose or experience a thinning of the fat pad on the ball of the foot. This will cause excessive pressure across the metatarsals, resulting in callus formation. Treatment for calluses include soaking the feet in warm, soapy water for 10 to 15 minutes and then rubbing the callus with a chiropody sponge or pumice stone. Restoring moisture to the skin is best done with a urea -based cream. Persistent calluses are best treated with a pair of orthotics (custom-made shoe inserts) to redistribute weight and balance to the foot. Corns are also a buildup of skin as a protective mechanism against excessive pressure, however they occur on the toes. It is a fallacy that corns have roots and can be cured simply by excising the lesion, changing shoe styles to accommodate the front of the foot will lessen pressure and reduce the com's size.

The result: the series is tied at one Win apiece. _ Pickering won the opening game; a 5-4 overtime decision. After being up 4-1 they squandered the lead but put an end to Oshawa's comeback with an early goal in the overtime frame. The Legionaires Ovook game two of the series with a 3-1 win last Sunday at the Pickering Recreation Complex.
