(International Design) Magazine, America‘s leading design publication, has selected the new Nissan Altima midâ€"size sedan as one of the best designs of 1993. The Altima was chosen from a record 330 new products as a winner of the coveted LD. Award for Design Excellence in the Consumer Products category. The Altima . is recognized for . its innovative exterior styling and its ergonomic interior in the magazine‘s July Annual Design Review issue. I.D. Magazine also praised the Altima for demonstrating a strong link between quality design and market success. Designed by San Diegoâ€"based Nissan Design International (NDT), the Altima is currently _ the bestâ€"selling _ newly introduced nameplate in the U.S. Its sales momentum has played a significant role in an overall sales resurgence by Nissan during the first six months of 1993 â€" a period in which the company regained its position as the number two import brand in North America. "Our goal in designing the Altima was to bring a new level of sophisticated style and comfort to a segment long dominated by conservative style and comfort to a segment long dominated by conservative, middleâ€"ofâ€"theâ€"road products," said Gerald Hirshberg, executive vice president, Nissan Design International. "It was our intention to create a product that stands NISSAN ALTIMA WINS PRESTIGIOUS DESIGN AWARD Locally Owned Operated 1029 Speers Road, at 4th Line (beside Tim Hortons 845â€"8021 twoâ€"acre pool. Four became involved in administering CPR. Norgate said two were relieved by others during out in its class by developing forms that address the real needs and concerns of the passengers and driver." The character of the Altima‘s design is a fusion of elegance and practicality. Rather than adopt a traditional "threeâ€" box" design, NDI began with an enlarged passenger cabin, and then integrated it with the engine and cargo compartments to create a flowing "uniâ€"box" form. The result is a visually balanced, highly efficient and secure body structure. The award marks the second consecutive year that a Nissan product has been recognized in the LD. Annual Design Review. In 1992, the NDLâ€"designed Nissan Quest minivan received an LD. Award in the Consumer Products category, the first automotive product to be so honored. NDI is also responsible for the design of several other popular Nissan products, including the Nissan Pathfinder, Truck, NX Coupe, and the Infiniti J30 personal luxury sedan. LD. Magazine‘s Annual Design Review, now in its 39th year, is America‘s oldest and largest design recognition program. The New York Cityâ€"based publication monitors a wide range of consumer and conceptual design. Nissan Altima is now available at Oakville Nissan at 5.9% financing for limited time.

"I‘m satisfied we did everything right," said park superintendent Bob Kloske, adding the OPP have all the information on pool safety requireâ€" ments and the pool for their investigaâ€" tion. Police report the incident occurred at 5:53 p.m. The fire department got the emergency call at 5:57. The truck left Station 5 on Wyecroft Road (which responds to the park) at 5:59 p.m. and arrived at the park‘s pool at 6:07 p.m. Guest said the ambulance arrived at 6:10 p.m. Under the tiered 911 response, the ambulance head office in Mississauga dispatches the fire department if any of five conditions exist in the emerâ€" gency. The fire department which has stations around town can often respond quicker with paramedics and medical equipment since only one or two ambulances service the town, said Guest. Both the fire department‘s oxygen and defibrillator were used on Haas, but Guest said it was too late. The autopsy revealed cause of death to be drowning, said OPP Constable Dave Thomas. Formsma said lifeguards employed at the pool have all the necessary qualifications and go through a fiveâ€" day training program before the pool opens. The pool opened June 26. The twoâ€"acre pool is similar to "a cement pond" and goes from a wading depth to six feet at its centre. While police said Haas was in water "chest high" at the time he experienced difficulties, Norgate said he‘d estimate the depth to have been closer to six feet. Norgate also said he‘d estimate about 70 to 80 people were in the pool at the time. Kloske said the pool doesn‘t have oxygen equipment or defibrillators because personnel aren‘t allowed to use oxygen and defibrillators. Neither is required under the Public Health Act‘s Public Swimming Pool Regulations and lifeguards aren‘t trained in their use. The act governs not only pool equipment but mechanâ€" ics, lifeguard to bather ratios and water quality. Nothing in the act says anyone with a medical problem must report it to pool authorities before swimming. It‘s left to the individual, said Kloske. While Haas and Norgate said it took a long time for the ambulance and fire department to arrive, Ted Guest, Deputy Chief of the Oakville Fire Department said department records and a tape of the call indicate maximum arrival time of the firefightâ€" ers was eight minutes. Fire department records indicate the ambulance arrived minutes after the fire department, he The autopsy results and investigaâ€" tive files are currently still in the hands of the investigating officer. Upon completion of the investigation, the officer will discuss the matter and turn over the files to the coroner who may consult the chief coroner in deciding to whether or not an inquest will be held. ‘ Investigating officer OPP Senior Constable John Burgess said it could take several weeks for the results to be reviewed by the Chief coroner and before a decision is made. Police and park assistant superinâ€" tendent Jake Formsma said the pool passed a safety inspection by Halton‘s regional health unit the week before the drowning. resuscitation attempts. He said officials will consider the fact that the pool is a public facility and will look to the pool regulations and safety equipment and training. Under regulations, the ratios set out two lifeguards are legally required for that number of bathers. Kloske said four were on duty. Lifeguards are trained to promote safety and to respond to emergencies with basic first aid and resuscitation. Kloske said they‘re trained as lifeâ€" guards, not not paramedics.
