Wednesday, August 16, 2006 · Page 6 RECRUITMENT REPORT CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 The County of Essex has the lead administrative responsibility for the physician recruitment office. Mavrinac and her staff receive instructions from the physician recruitment steering committee, which is chaired by Essex County Warden Mike Raymond and Windsor Mayor Eddie Francis and includes the chief executive officers of three area hospitals, councillors from area municipalities and city and county managers. The initial agreement was for the office to operate for a two-year period with an option to extend for an additional year. The office has reportedly exercised that option which runs through March 2007. During the meeting Aug. 9 councillors voted to adopt Mavrinac's recommendation to extend the date for review to 2012. Anthony Leardi, the deputy mayor of Amherstburg, and Tom Burton, the deputy mayor of Tecumseh, proposed an amendment to review the agreement in 2009. A fiveyear renewal schedule, Leardi said, would mean the next county council would have no chance to look at the arrangement. The amendment was defeated. "I take exception to some members putting a negative spin on this," Burton said. "We're not saying that this isn't working, we're just saying this agreement should be reviewed in 2009 ... . I think it's healthy for every council to review this and I encourage the members to support the amendment." READY TO SERVE ­ The Lakeshore Fire Department has added 18 new volunteer firefighters, bringing the number up to 100 within the area's five stations. The recruits were chosen from a group of 77 applicants after completing a 50-hour basic firefighting training program. The new volunteers started Aug. 1. Top row from left: Steven Arsenault, Mike Vickard, Michele Brockman, Gerald Harris, Dean Stark, Paul Kalic, James Myers, Sean Tracey, Denise Bezeau, Troy Vivier, Jeremie Beausoleil, Jason Maure, George Kasana. Bottom row: Jeff Moody, Aaron Barash, Brad Hart, Joe Dunlop. Mavrinac and the office were congratulated both by council and Connie Martin, the executive director of Maryvale Adolescent and Family Services. Martin spoke specifically about the office's success recruiting psychiatrists to Windsor and Essex County. For years the centre was dependent on psychiatrists from Michigan and Toronto, she said.
