Halton honours its heroes^ Twenty people to be recognized a t Safety Council Awards Banquet By Amber Clarke SPECIAL TO THE BEAVER Twenty people will be hon­ ored for helping people in dis­ tress and contributing to com­ munity safety at the annual Halton Region Safety Council Awards Banquet, Thursday night. The award recipients will be honored in 3 categories: Lifesaving, Merit and Recognition. The Lifesaving award is pre­ sented in recognition of unselfish actions in a life-saving attempt, while the Merit award recognizes the ability to diffuse a potentially life threatening sit­ uation. The Recognition award is presented for an outstanding contribution towards communi­ ty safety. "The awards recognize those who go one step beyond and help," explained Susan Robertson of the Halton Region Safety Council. "Some of these people endangered their own lives to help others, and they didn't have to do that." The award recipients include: Lifesaving Awards □ 13-year-old Stuart Hyslop from Burlington performed the Heimlich Maneuver on his mother who was choking on a candy, last May. Stuart is a pri­ vate with the Burlington Army Cadets. □ Burlington Division Police Constable Peter McAlpine entered a burning house on Jan. 10th and earned out an uncon­ scious man. He revived the man and determined there were no other occupants in the house saving the firefighters from an unnecessary search. □ Oakville Division Police Constable Steve Elms entered the frigid water of Lake Ontario on May 26th, last year, to rescue a woman in distress approxi­ mately 100 feet from the shore. Elms administered onshore medical attention to the woman until an ambulance arrived. □ Becky Murphy was dri­ ving in Burlington on April 18th, last year, when she was flagged down by a distraught mother whose four-year-old son had fallen from playground equipment, and was uncon­ scious. Murphy calmly drove the pair to Joseph Brant Hospital. The child was later transferred to Hamilton Children's Hospital for emer­ gency surgery. □ Burlington Central Public School Grade 4 teacher Diana Vujasinovich performed the Heimlich Maneuver on a stu­ dent who was choking on a ring she had accidentally inhaled from her finger, last April. □ Burlington resident Joe Southon was working from home on April 20, 1997, and noticed a man collapsed on a nearby front lawn. The man was not breathing and Southon per­ formed CPR until police and ambulance arrived. □ Dundas resident Bradley McMurray and Ken Schmidt, of Breslau, performed CPR on an unconscious woman on a side­ walk with no pulse until an ambulance arrived, last December. □ Georgetown resident Jennifer Capstick performed the Heimlich Maneuver on her younger sister who was choking on a hard candy on Jan. 25th, 1998. □ Burlington resident Glen Gray performed CPR and attended to a 70-year-old man who collapsed during a Curling Tournament at the Burlington Curling Club on Dec. 17, 1998. Merit Awards □ Burlington resident Crichton Smith phoned an ambulance and assisted a woman who had passed out behind the wheel of her car in the Hopedale Mall parking lot in Oakville, last October. A month earlier, Smith came to the aid of a woman who was trying to hail a cab for her hus­ band who had just suffered a stroke. He again called an ambulance and assisted the man until help arrived. □ Union Gas employee Dilip Malhatra flagged down a motorist to call for police when he noticed a man in distress in his garage on Jan. 27th of this year. □ Mountainside Pool (Burlington) lifeguards Emily Bosscher, Natalie Scopaz, Warren Brown, Eliza Hicks, Christine Ionize, and Lindsay Heeg treated an unconscious man whose nose waps bleeding and required immediate med­ ical attention, last August. Recognition Awards □ Halton Region Police Constable Laurie-Anne Maitland served on the Education Services Unit, and worked for the Safety Council Board of Directors. □ Burlington resident Bob Munro promoted safety in schools, and served as the Public Relations Director for the Halton Region Safety Council.
