Ajax Legion'jurnpimstarts defibrillation campaign 13v Glenn Hendry The difference between life and death for main cardiac arrest victims may be a defib- rillator in the hands of a trained firefighter. w'hitby Fire Chief Tony Vanikolewccrd already knows this: his department hegan a SI(X),(Xl) fundraising campaign last year (they're -9 three-quarters of the way to that goal) and have taken delivery of one machine, with three more on the way. The Ajax Fire Department has now followed Whitby's lead, kicking off their fundraising campaign last week to acquire three of the life-saving pieces of equip- ment. Defibrillators, hand-held machines that deliver electric shocks to the heart, are already in the hands of ambu- lance person!. But what hap- pens when firefighters, as is often the case, are first on the scene? "Many times we are that first agency to arrive," says Ajax Deputy Fire Chief Rob Browning. "If someone is having a cardiac problem, we can apply, first aid, CPR, and, if required. the defibrillation process. The process will save lies, promises Van1N)Iewcerd. "We took 39 calls last year with vital signs absent. the CPR success rate was very low. But defibrillation will mean a 10 per cent or better improvement and that means people. That means saving lives." Every Whitby firefighter has completed training on the machines and VanDoleweerd expects the campaign to be completed - and all the machines delivered - by May. "We want to promote a bet- ter service to the taxpayer, and this is a life safety issue here," he says. "First response agencies, be they fire, police or ambulance, if they have defibrillators, they will, without question, save lives." The $7,000 machine pro- vides its own analysis by monitoring the heart rhythms of the victim, says Browning, adding that a memory module also stores data for post -event review at Oshawa General Hospital, base hospital for the defibrillator program. Browning expects dcll%cry of the defibrillators by late April. The Ajax LePon has com- miticd S35.(Mll) to jump-start the Ajay Fire lkpartment's campaign and the fire depart- ment is also co -hosting_ .t hen efit dank Friday at the Legion Hall on Hunt Street.

Verona plan panned By Glenn Hendry The Verona Mall site may be an eyesore, but Ajax Regional Councillor Roger Anderson will not be- snowed by the first sweet talker that promises to clean up the place. Andersen, who is concerned the commercially -zoned prop- erty - mothballed since Mater's Development went into receivership in 1990 - will hecome a residential ncivhhor- hood. had his fears realized 'Monday night. Howard Perlmutter. a consultant with new owners Shields Snow (they officially take ownership in (X) days). revealed a concept plan that provides only limited commercial space. Shields Snow's concept appears to have the blessing_ of town staff, however, a situation that doesn't please Anderson. "I have major problems with the plan. The concept t Shields Snow) has shown us tonight is almost identical to the one staff is recommending,. 'rhat's quite a coincidence." Andersen said. Staff expects only half of the site's 4(1O,(Mll) square feet to he utilized for commercial pur- poses. The Shields Snow plan includes retail uses only on Bayly Street and on the east side, adjacent to the proposed Commercial Avenue extension. "This is a residential piece of, property." insisted Perlmutter. citing the healthy housing market and the "fragility" of the commercial market. 'But it's still premature to say. definitively, what our parcel will be. The extent of' commercial hasn't been cstab- lishcd." Perlmutter ruled out office towers for the site. claiming multi-storey office use is "not viable. possibly not for five years." The consultant also warned that Ajax can't create high zoning and "expect every- one to till up to it. The market will prevail. "And you shouldn't preclude development that can happen this }car." Councillor Joe Atkinson. however, said Perlmutter's plans won't get his support "unless the rwht inir is there." "I not going to he bullied into doing something because it's sc xy or hecause it ects rid of what's there." he said. "It's a derelict... it's an embarrass- ment.

Cabinet maker needed The past two years have been very rocky for the administration at the Town of Pickering. Mayor Wayne Arthur%, who is at the helm of the good ship Pickering, once compared himself to a cabinet maker and stated that if given "better wood" he would build a "better cabinet". We cannot help but wonder whether the problem is really with the "wood" or whether the problem is with the cabinet maker. A long series of fiscal blunders has everyone questioning what is going on. Double payment.% to contractors, lost investments and attempted cover-ups were just some of the highlights that prompted an independent audit firm to come in and review the situation. When things go wrong fingers sure get pointed. The former accounting firm was dismissed-. the town treasurer was suspended, the treasurer was then cleared of any wrongdoing, the town manager resigned. the treasurer is granted a leave of absence which has now been extended. a director of Human Resources was hired (according to the individual himself) and then unhired the same day, the deputy treasurer requests and receives approval to switch to a three-day work week, despite the continued absence of the treasurer. Now we learn the manager of resources is on "leave". This is all happening while the mayor states he is working towards amalgamation. Curiously, at the same time, he has whittled the list of new potential town managers down to a couple of candidates. We fully expect neither will be acceptable to the entire council and the job will fall on the shoulders of a staff member already employed at the town. If sanity was to prevail the position would be filled on a "contract only" basis until Ajax and Pickering could be amalgamated and a single administration handles both towns. Staff changes and problems of the sort encountered by Pickering are very rare in today's job marketplace. Clearly there is a deep problem that continues to fester and has not been addressed. The independent auditor's report dim was never officially released talked about these and other problems. Little or nothing has been done. Pickeringis rennin out of $ scapegoats to Marne these problems on. Do you know any good cabinet makers? S19 YOIZK WATER PIPE DREAM �.

Myrna Picone Pickering Mega -city bad planning Until the mega -city debate erupted. the world of planning and idealists like John Sewell were relatively unknown. It has been surprising to me, that only a handful of qualified professionals have come forward to express their disdain for the ethical violations which have peppered this ruling. 1 am a planner. and I am disgusted with the entire mega -city debate. While it is true that govemment protocol is notoriously inefficient, without the disgruntled input of mayors and citizen action co mmittires, amalgamtion would have been instituted without any public consultation. The issue has been made into a political feeding frenzy by constant editorials and opinions regarding those involved. The debate should be focused on the reason why non -elected government officials make such "mega -changes" - without consulting the public or taking any of the advice they have commissioned with taxpayer dollars. If the government can be so undemocratic with the largest metropolitan area in the province, I think it would be naive to think it won't happen again.

Environmental hearings for the mega -project are scheduled for next January, but Brenner wants York Region to initiate a meeting with local residents "in the next few weeks," so com- munity members can voice any concerns. "The beginning of a project is when there should he consul- tation. The residents of the Rosebank community have a right to know what is in the pro- posal."

The more contributions you make, the larger the value of your RRSP at retirement. The cost of procrastination can be significant. For example, if you begin making annual contributions of $3,500 at age 25 and earned a return of 12 percent per year, your RRSP would be worth S2,684,(M at age 65. however, if you wait 10 years before starting you annual contributions ($3,500 per year at 12 per cent return), it will be worth $844,000 at age 65, a difference of over $1.8 million. Let's lower the rate to 8 per cent per year. A 25 year-old contributing $3,500 to age 65, would amass $906,698. Starting at age 35 he or she would accumulate $396,491.

To ensure a safe and sufficient supply of blood, the community relies on its healthy members to give the gift of life. There has been a decline in blood donations as witnessed in the number of recent blood shortages. But regular blood donors are vital to the health care system. Every day, the gift of life is needed by trauma patients, burn victims, cancer and leukemia patients, ortian transplant recipients and many undergoing major surgery.

Protein stains demand an enzyme pre- treatment, while the oil/grease type can be removed with heavy-duty shampoo containing degreasing agents. Be sure to give these chemicals time to work and remem- ber always to work a stain from the outside in. Floor mats can be cleaned in the same way, finishing with a good shampoo. Windows are pretty much dessert when it comes to spring cleaning your car. Still, the Council does offer a couple of hints. First, use your favourite commercial glass cleaner. If smudges and road film persists, try rub- bing alcohol to cut through to the shine, don't get any on the paint. And remem- ber to clean all glass on the inside as well as outside.
