PAGE 16, WHITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 30, 1989 OPP warn of misleading advertising circular Ontario Provincial Police warn the public to be aware of a misleading advertising circular that promises major prizes, but doesn't deliver them. The circular, originating from a company in Vancouver, B.C., was sent to a number of local businesses in the North Bay area, and indicates that the recipient is an automatic winner of a car, a trip or a cash award. The recipient is asked to call the company to confirm receipt of the certificate, and is then asked to send money to cover the cost of shipping. The ',prize" apparently never received.

"Boards. as a rule, have argued 'Don't set up a second tier.' The sore point comes when they (municipalities) have to answer for our increase. "It's the attitude that disturbes me," says Oshawa trustee Ruth LaFarga. "We are not dialoguing First Class Diabetic ClinIc Helps People Control Their Own Lives Diabetic Educator, Sylvia Dove with a group of clinic patients. Whitby General Hospital operates a monthly Diabetic Clinic. The clinic gives diabetics information about their disease so that they can be in control of their lives and function independently. "The structure is informal," says Sylvia Dove, Diabetic Educator. "We want people to share freely and ask questions." The clinic follows a workshop format over two days. Patients come in the morning, have blood-work done, enjoy breakfast together, and participate in a series of informal lectures conducted by Dove with input from dietician Pat Gottschalk. Dr. Sangaralingham is the consulting physician. Participants in the clinic must be referred by a doctor's order. The diabetic educator and the dietician then see each participant for an initial assessment before he or she attends a clinic. Operating on an out-patient basis for over two years, Dove now has a patient load of 165. Each of her patients participated in a clinic. A clinic can range in size from three to eight patients. "i like to include both newly diagnosed diabetics and people who have been diabetic for a while. That way there's more sharing of information," explains Dove. The topics discussed during the clinic cover a wide range of subjects. "We talk about what diabetes is, who gets it, what the potential complications are, and how to deal with diabetes in day to day living," says Dove. Clinic participants are taught how to do their own blood testing, and given specifics on diet and exercise. In addition, the chiropodist, Valerie Balough, gives guidance on foot care. "The clinic provides participants with emotional support, too. It's a great way for people to share their experiences and their fears. It really helps to know that there are other people going through what you're going through," says Dove. Family members are encouraged to participate in the clinic. "Diabetes affects a lifestyle, therefore it affects the entire family," explains Dove. About 75% of those who participate in a clinic do include their family members. Once someone participates in a clinic they continue to see Dove and Gottschalk on an individual basis, depending on their need. Some patients come weekly, all are seen a minimum of once every three months. Dove works closely with referral doctors and reports regularly on developments. Dove works as the Diabetic Educator one-third of the time. She's aiso in charge of infection control and ýis the Hospital's 'Quality Assurance Co-ordinator. There are a lot of things she'd like to see done with the diabetic clinic, but time and funding aren't on her side. "Unfortunately funding doesn't grow along with the need," says Dove. ...for a first class communityf! -This space provided asa public service by the Whitby Free Press.__ Sandra Lintner on the issue except through the press. "Councillors should be saying that we want you to come (to Durham). We have a good area and a first class education sys- tem instead of dumping on each other about the cost of education and who will collect it. "We'd better get our act together and do something con- structive for the kids in our classrooms." Whitby separate school trustee Catharine Tunney, chairman of the separate board, had pre- viously commented that "It doesn't make sense to have everyone collecting their own. Just look at the mailing cost alone. It wouldn't make sense to have the boards go through the added expense.» Backlog FROM PAGE i demonstrated a commitment to cooperative management. and have implemented a number of initiatives to improve the flow of cases through the system," says Scott. "We know from the experience of other jurisdictions that the addition of resources must be accompanied by casef ow management efforts in ordeý to have an impact on backlog and delay. In this instance, the com- bination of shared management responsibility and additional resources will assist these four jurisdictions in keeping pace with the current intake of cases and deal with the backlog they are experiencing." Gillen says it is not yet known when the new personnel will be on hand. "There is a selection process and training period. Then it must be decided in what fashion to deal with the backlog. Initia- tives in terns of co-op manage- ment will have to be maintained to ensure efficiency and not to backslide into the same situa- tion." The Province wants to lease an additional 45 sq. metres (about 484 sq. ft.) in the Region head- quarters building, the space to be used by the crown attorney's office. As reported by Region works staff, the lease would have a term of three years, with rent of $6,519 per year ($543.27 per month, based on a rate of $145 per sq. metre.). The room has been used for storage, mostly by the Region development department. A recommendation to approve renting space to the Province was to go before works commit- tee yesterday (Tuesday).
