The procedure to set a fair market market value on properties directly affected affected by new dump sites in the greater Toronto area was released late last week. The IWA's Impact.Management and Compensation Policy addresses "properly value protection, fair treatment for tenants, water supply protection, host municipality compensation compensation and cases of personal hardship." John Steele, the IWA Communications Communications Coordinator, told The Statesman Statesman the fair market value of a property property will be assessed as if there is no threat of a landfill. "The land will be valued by assessors assessors who will go out and look at other sites with the same amount of property (and buildings) to give full market value," said Steele. This approach will apply to properties properties which would be expropriated. If, for instance, the site on Staple- ton Road is chosen, then the property property owners affected would receive "fair market values" for their land.

Clarington. Ms. Kelly took on the position this fall and comes to the job with tremendous experience in the health care field. She predicts programs such as Lifeline, which allow patients to continue living independently in the community, will gain more and more appeal as hospitals deal with tighter budgets and move toward palliative care.

Patients arc being discharged discharged much earlier, and a lot of the time -- especially for the elderly -- there isn't anyone at home to care for them." As of this month, there arc 83 Lifeline subscribers throughout Clarington whose ages range from 11 to 95. "In our area, the majority of users users are elderly," says Kelly. "But the service is ideal for anyone who has a history of falls, medical or cardiac problems." Lifeline is a personal response system linking people who are alone to an Emergency Response Centre at Memorial Hospital 24 hours a day. When help is needed, the user pushes a small portable button worn on a cord around the neck. This activates activates die Lifeline Unit connected to the telephone, which automatically calls die central monitoring station at die hospital. The switchboard operator at Memorial Memorial will immediately contact a designated neighbor who will go at once to the subscriber's home. _ If no responder is available in. the neighborhood, an ambulance or medical team will be dispatched. Lifeline relieves stress on overcrowded overcrowded hospitals and gives relatives relatives peace of mind knowing that help is just a few minutes away in critical emergencies. "Daughters and sons are relieved of the burden of worry," Kelly said.
