4 The Canadian Statesman. Bowmanville, September 12. 1979 Section Two 1Exchange Student Arrives from Holland St. John Ffrst Aid Trainig Could Help You Save a Life, Dealing with injuries is part of a police officer's job. They see the victims of accidents, of fights and attacks, suicide attempts, exposure and sud- den illness. Recause they do, every uniformed member of the Ontario Provincial Police, more than 4,000 of them, takes St. John Ambulance first aid training. A St. John course is part of a candidates orienta- tion training, and officers have to requalify every three years. About a third of the force is retrained every year. OPP Commissioner H.H. Graham has a special interest in first aid training as he presently is a Commander in the Order of St. John. Sgt. Stan Fergusson says the training is invaluable in remote areas where medical aid is a long way away, but he points out that even when there's a hospital nearby, first aid pays off when minutes count. He describes three situations in which OPP staff used their training in mouth to mouth resuscitation to save lives. In Alliston, a recruit made use of his brand new first aid knowledge to save a child who was convulsing. In Burlington, a man arrested for impaired driving tried to hang himself in a jail cell, using hîs T-Shirt', but was revived. In North Bay, on a day when the temperature was 30 degrees below, an OPP constable jumped into icy 'water to pull a woman out of a car, and he revived her. St. John has made many, awards to OPP' officers-for similar actions, but, as Corporal Ron Girling. says, they aren'ýt ail acknowledged, because sometimes no one knows they've happened. "A lot of our men take what they've done as a matter of course. It's part of their job, helping people. We have a duty to protect life, and one of the ways weprotect life is to provide first aid. " Roth Sgt. Fergusson and Cpl. Girling are crîminal law instructors with the OPP, a job title that covers a variety of duties, including organizing their first aid training. The OPP now has St. John Ambulance train their staff people as first aid instructors, and they in turn, teach their colleagues. The OPP has about 60 people working as instructors at any given time. Some of their officers, extend their interestin First Aid to work as volunteers with St. John branches, and teach- ing first aid on their own scarce spare tîme. For most people, the con- nection between the OPP and first aid skills is made at road accidents. Sgt. Fergusson and Cpi. Girling have some hints for motorists who come upon an accident. Don't slow down to see what's happening, and don't stop in the middle of the highway. Either way, you could cause another accident. If you think you can help, pull well off the road so you don't endanger your own passen- gers or create an extra hazard. If a police offîcer is there, Recommend Tender for Sewers Newcastle's public works committee has recommended' that new storm sewers be remember he has a number of things to think about. If you know first aid, or if you have some useful information as a witness to the accident, tell him so. Then do whatever he asks you te do, begin helping victims or wait, out of the way, until he has time to talk to you. Don't keep talking to him. He will do what ail first aiders should do plus what he must do as a policeman. He'll protect the victims from further harm. He'll clear any hazards. He'l cali for what- ever help is necessary. He must also watch out for theft, try to locate witnesses, make sure no one moves anything that might help determine who or what caused the accident. installed at locations in Bow- manville and Orono. Meeting in Hampton Tuesday, September 4, the committee opened eight tend- ers for construction of a length of jstorm sewer at the e nd of Onitario St. in Bowmanville as far as the Bowmanville Creek. The second section of stormn sewer- would be located on Division St. in Orono and drain into the Orono Creek. The works committee- recommended that the low tender, of Ron Robinson Ltd. be accepted provided that'it- had been checked by the director of public works in. order to see that ail specifica- tions were met. The low bid for the Orono project was $63,832.44 while the lowest tender for the Bowmanville project was $36,064.21. Construction must still be formally endorsed by Newcastle Council later this- month. Rotary exehange student, Charlotte a Campo, relaxes -on the patio of her first host family, Jack and Shirley Locke, Courtice. The eighteen year old student arrived two weeks ago from Dongen, Holland. The next 12 months will be a type of sabbatical for Charlotte a Campo of Dongen,, Holland. The most recent Rotary exchange student hosted by the Rowmanville Club, she arrived here two weeks ago. According to Charlotte, she views the coming year as a rare opportuaity to broaden her knowledge of the world and international customs. Ia a selection program with 75 hopeful world travellers to choose from, Charlotte was one of 25 chosen. She represents the Rotary Club of Oosterhout,' District 161, Netherlands. As is customary with ahl exchange students, her timne here will be divided between four different families. Charlotte's present host family is Jack and Shirley Locke, Courtice. Enrolling as a Grade 13 student at R.H.S. Charlotte expects to find the system quite cifferent from what she has become accustomed to. The 18, year old hopes to ultimately pursue a career in the domestic science field. Charlotte has an edge on many exchange students' travelling to foreiga countries who must cope with a strange language. Having spent three years in Rritain as a child, she speaks fluent English. In addition, in the Dutch school system six years of Eaglish study is mandatory. After only two weeks in Canada, Charlotte has visited Toronto Island and the C.N.E. Impressed with our fast food outlets like Mr. Submarine, she marvels at the way Canadians "grab a hamburger or sub" any time of the day or evening. Ia comparing her country to Canada, Charlotte notes the difference in architecture, bigger cars and our hilly terrain compared to the Netherlands which she describes "as flat as a table" CLOCA Seeks Purchase of Valley Land The Central Lake Qatariv Conservation Authority has its eye on about 20 acres of land in the Bowmaaville Creek valley- south of Highway Two. The Authority told Newcastle's elected officials receatly that it wishes to buy two parcels of land in the valley for costs plus one dollar to transfer titie. The land is located behind the Bowman- ville arena. SAt its meeting. Tuesday, .the finance and administration committee voted to consult nearby residents before decid- ing to sell this town-owned property. Mayor Garnet Rickard said he did not want the municipality to ride rough- shod over the nearby property owners, pointing out that these . Except for blue jeans, which has become an international dress code, Charlotte says females in 'Holland lean far more toward.dresses than do Canadian women. On her first trip to the North American continent, Charlotte leaves behind her mother and a sister. Profess- ing no apprehension for the amount of time or number of miles away from her home- land, Charlotte approaches the exchange experience with enthusiasm and anticipation. people have done an excellent job in maintaining the land for many years. "You don't need te go to the botanical gardens. You just have to go down there," he said. Mayor Rickard told committee members that he thought a little public rela- tions from the beginning of the matter would help. The committee voted to have the lands appraised to find their current market value. After appraisal and after meeting with residents, the lands might be offered to CLOCA, committee members decided. This course of action must still be formally' endors- ed by Newcastle Council. P - 1"- - James Insurance Agency Limited 24 King St. E.
