Friday, September 15, 2000 THE OAKVILLE BEAVER 13 Province may not honour 5 0 -5 0 funding promise (Continued from page 1) When it did, it brought with it a host of improvements, including more equipment and double the prior number of Advanced Care Paramedics (ACP). ACPs are more highly trained than Primary Care Paramedics. "We're the only region in Ontario that has an ACP on every ambulance," said Halton's Medical Officer of Health Dr. Bob Nosal. "That's just incredibly good news." Prior to the transfer, Halton Hills and Milton had no ACPs. Also, new defibrillators -- the paddles used to treat patients suffering a cardiac arrest -- are expected be on board by December. Four new ambulances are also slated for service, possibly as early as October. In downloading ambulance operations, the Province promised to kick in with a 5050 funding split. But that may have changed, said Mr. King. "It's going to be a grant," he said. "I don't think they're calling it 50-50 now." Though word could come as early as next month, King said the Region expects to know what amount the Province plans to pitch in by January. But Oakville Mayor Ann Mulvale said the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO), which she recently became president of, is also lobbying for answers. · "AMO continues to work aggressively with the province. We remain guardedly optimistic that we're getting through," she said. "It's one of the priorities. We're not giving up at all." The smooth transition of the down loaded service led to praise for King and the management team that guided it "I am incredibly impressed with the job they did and the support we got at the Region from the CAO down," said Dr. Nosal.

A business receives a bill w hich is very similar in appearance to their regular phone bill. The invoice, dated for a three-month period, purports to be for a service already provided. Careful scrutiny o f the bill, however, indicates that failure to pay by the due date will "result in the de-listing o f your business information." In the cases that police have seen so far, the businesses have never ordered this ser vice and the offer is unsolicited. If the company desires to have their name listed on the Internet, then paym ent o f the bill becomes necessary. Police are warning area businesses to be aware o f all incoming invoices and bill they receive. Prices are cash discounted and do not include taxes. COM PUTER N E TW O R K SE R VIC E S C .N .S .
