Ch 17 Reports

You or your ear hurt OK how old are you. You're five and you are in kindergarten 120 which earrings Patrick OK you're left to your seat. What's the matter today to be that you don't. Any student that doesn't have a pediatrician or that doesn't go to the health care center regularly. Has the opportunity to join our program and the program is funded by the New York State Department of Health and the State Education Department. And it is administered by the Chamber Scruggs Community Health Care Center. We're fortunate enough that we would be Scrags health care center also provides in-kind contributions towards fiscal help project the health project is operational at 11 Buffalo's schools two schools

three early childhood centers and six regular elementary schools including the academic challenge school on Division Street. Parents of thirty five hundred children have elected to have this onsite care. Last year there were over thirty thousand twenty visit. We have three levels. Level one is where we would just do primarily first and kids need to be handled or something like that. And when we have the second level which we provide to the cause for the children and really the first. And we do like a screening. And so they would be included in that. And on the third level is where we would do complete here. We really took care of the maintenance of the children essentially you're sort of the first line of defense. We discovered a lot about nurse practitioner who has discovered a lot of problems that maybe a parent would never have known. I have to say for certain

you know oh we're here for a fight. Did you finish all your medicine. Seven year old Wardell Ross had rather severe vision and hearing problems which his mother says were found by the health care team during a routine physical. He is wearing glasses now and he created a Web site is place. Yes much better. Most of the problems the team encounters are on the usual list of childhood ailments. We see a lot of children with headaches and stomach aches aches sore throats. The common cold flu symptoms when we're in the height of flu season lice is a problem. A lot of social problems that we deal with with the children in the city back to 12 year old Martha was with her flu victim. She has a younger sister and brother also enrolled in the

school health project. Her mother says the quality of care is high and can be beat. My husband and I both work and our schedules tend to be pretty ready. It's difficult. And so since we were unable to get to the hospital because the I was we were so much easier just to having the school system. What if you identify a serious health problem during an examination. What steps can you take if it's not something that I can treat in a clinic or something I'm unsure about I can call our doctor she's on call at all times to answer any questions I may have. Why if the child was seriously ill and needed medical attention that I cannot provide right away we would call in and try to have the child taken to the hospital or called a parent to get them to take them immediately. Can you write some prescriptions. Yes. Yes we write prescriptions under protocols we have written protocols that are approved by the state and certain drugs we're allowed to prescribe that are in this fucking

protocol. Hi Vicki. Where are you today. OK. What's your last name. OK. Picky picky. Tell me how old you are. You're six years old. Which is it. OK that's your life here. The program makes comprehensive health care available to youngsters as well as providing preventive care. There were areas of the city identified where children were taken into emergency rooms for their health care. They didn't have pediatricians or they weren't taken to health care centers and they just sought out emergency room for care intermittently whenever a child was there. So the program was really set up to target those families and children who had no health care. So if our project wasn't here these children probably continued to have be continued to be taken to the emergency room for care. The council does give us for a hard time public health nurses we call

them on long County nurses and they do assist in providing care for the children in our school. We're very fortunate to have them. You're the guy who's going to stay that way. OK. Do you know how to stay healthy. What do you have to do. Do I eat healthy foods with some healthy foods here and some vegetables and fruits and juice. No. Good. All right

old in many cases dilapidated but most precinct houses all 14 of them are prime targets of a recent study. The report by the International Chiefs of Police Association says the precinct system is archaic pulling officers from street patrol to mend the houses. Buffalo Police Commissioner Ralph Degenhardt all of these people at work desk duties in the different precincts each tour of duty in 14 different precincts. Some of the precincts have two people on the desk each tour of duty. If we went down for instance to four such as those advocated in the report obviously you're not going to have that many people working desk duties and those people would be released and out on the street for centrally located houses could free up some of the 70 officers tied every shift to desk duty. And the report says the

houses have become a hangout for the officers and allegation the vice president of the Buffalo police union denies. I'm sure we'll go to stationhouse now and see police officers there and if we ask them we probably tell you I just had an accident and I'm back on the phone and report I'm going to throw up the excellent book I got to fill up the report. I'm back here at 11 maybe one given at the desk for you. I mean there's a lot of reasons why police officers come back to the station other than lollygagging. Consolidation is a political hot potato. Common Council has refused to touch afraid of public reaction to any closing of police stations. The city charter mandates a number of precincts 14 and the number of men assigned to each 44. However this time council may back a ballot question on the consolidation according to retiring council member David techi letting voters make the tough decision to close their own neighborhood precincts. If we can get the council to accept the fact that precinct houses don't fight crime and then convince

the people out in those neighborhoods that that's true. And I think you have sort of the imprimatur of this objective professional group which studied this to be able to help sell that. The union has no great love of consolidation seeing it as a way to cut manpower. And I think the elimination of jobs consolidation is elimination. That's what the theme has been with the last consolidation we've had that actually from the commissioner. From a letter from the commissioner to the director of finance that consolidation would mean 160 of police officers 12 lieutenants for captains and two inspectors. That's elimination of jobs. And I'm not too sure when you get an elimination of jobs that you don't streamlining. I'm not sure when you eliminate jobs. And I know for a fact when you eliminate jobs crime will go up pretty good and it's going to go up more Degenhardt flatly denies

consolidation will mean a reduction in workforce the precinct system is a relic of bygone times when there were no telephones no cars and people would walk to the nearest police station to report a crime. Most calls now come from 9 1 1. And some of those calls are going on answered. There are not enough officers in each precinct to cover sick time and vacation time every day. By seniority police officers are transferred throughout the city in a costly time consuming game to meet the forty four officers per precinct mandated and some precincts have heavier workloads and others leaving some houses understaffed and others overstaffed. Police Commissioner Degenhardt would like to be optimistic that this latest report will make a difference. They say now that they're looking at this a little differently and that there is some hope that it will take place.

I surely hope so. I think it vitally needed it's ridiculous. The local precincts are here. What a waste of manpower it is. Many believe consolidation is just one reform that will fool the Buffalo Police Department out of the horse and buggy age and into the 21st century. It's too early to know if there's the political will to lead the charge. We'll look at other recommendations in future report on

the Buffalo Police Department is not having a good day. It's not even having a good year. A highly critical study by the International Chiefs of police calls for a radical change in the way the department does business. There's been a massive increase in crimes and in violent crimes in calls for service and the response time just isn't there because the level of fellow police officers is down a hundred right now from what's in the budget. Response time for routine calls. 30 and 40 minutes. People are absolutely unwilling to accept that. So there's a demand out on the streets. That's something we've done. The study says the department is battling more than just crime but crime is winning. Serious Crime is rising. The department's rate of solving or clearing crimes is well below the national average.

Rapes increased by 37 percent last year. It claims bickering has led to a siege mentality. The union has filed a tremendous amount of grievances within the past couple of years. They have filed probably somewhere in the neighborhood of six hundred or so grievances. They take up a great great deal of our time. But I wouldn't call it a siege mentality as the report states. You know you already are in need of plastic might. Anyway the report does state labor and management needle each other and quote the level and intensity of labor management conflict is an inexcusable waste of resources. Buffalo police union spokesman John Jusco it's trust between the union and the poor and the administration. There's a lack of trust it dismal for faith trust and a willingness to bend is what's needed to pull the department into the 90s and beyond. Buffalo City Council and the city administration are also vital players. No one has been willing to

compromise those positions in the past. What I think this report does is first of all point out the fact that hey folks somebody has got to give these things unless and or else we won't have an efficient Department. And secondly it puts all of what has been said before in a single document and it's a framework for a comprehensive reorganization and reform. The report says management is not managing seriously hampered by charter provisions and the collective bargaining agreement you have relinquished. We've lost. That's what it comes down to. We have lost a great many medicament prerogatives and that is stress throughout the whole report that we must get these management rights back. Has the reform efforts have met stiff resistance from the union that PBA sees them as a way to cut jobs. But the city has refused again just to sit down and negotiate these things.

We understand that there has to be a move made made is the move to improve the police department I say improve it meant streamline because I don't like the word streamlined a streamlined means the cut got to go faster. He thinks the compromise might get going along these lines. Manpower levels guaranteed at current levels in return for one man cars and consolidation of precincts with added pay for flexibility in scheduling. But they're going to have to ban the Union on that issue. They're going to have to bend on a one man patrol and they're going to have to bend on schedule flexibility. But they have to be given something in return. And that's a freeze at the 970 level. In my opinion shift differential for better scheduling to get out of the situation where we have more officers on a Tuesday on a Tuesday afternoon than we do at Friday at midnight. And one man control differential you have to provide an incentive for those people who are going to be

willing to work the one man patrol you can't arbitrarily allow commissioner to assign those folks. And I think that the incentive system could work and could be a basis for negotiate for successful negotiations on those issues. He doesn't leave. Counsel will take a vote on the reforms but would be willing to offer the voters a package deal. So I think he needs to do it. Once you have a plan that really takes the police department as it stands now throws out the whole structure and starts new and leaves us with a new efficient system for a police department in Buffalo that the voters can say yes I agree with the new structure and that vote yes or no the road will be tough. The professional police officers who analyze the buffalo department had more than 200 recommendations for change with 13 priorities including one that patrol cars and consolidation of precincts. More on those issues in future reports.

Tony Jones the eastern billion West

curtness we've got to enlist the sun to more bodies. Bodies are the name of the game these days. And the Buffalo Police Department is not using its manpower. Well according to a highly critical report by the International Association of Chiefs of police to patrol officers assigned to one patrol car is a waste. Police Commissioner Ralph Degenhardt through most of the major police before it was right to vacation with her son exclusively. Others use a combination of armored cars and two men and cars. This report recommends both men in cars and two men in cars. I think the time has come for two men to troll two. And in the city of Buffalo the trend nationally is that in some cases one man patrols can and can work and it adds to the efficiency of Buffalo's case. It allows us to what the precinct allows us to put 80 more cars on the street at any given time.

The highly critical study has more than 200 recommendations for the Buffalo Police Department. Among them gradually moved toward a mix of one and two man cars. Expanding the number of patrol cars from the present 116 to 185. An increase of almost 60 percent. But the Buffalo police union has certain demands before it will go along with a one man car. We've got to make sure policies. I don't want to go to a police officer. I hope no politician or the mayor wants to go to a police officer's funeral just because they implemented a one man car crew and not properly haphazardly. We have an opportunity to look at a lot of cities that have one main characters and a lot of those cities in Atlanta New York past sundown or forward like that all too many cars. They realize that you can't exist in one man for. Safety is a big issue. However the report claims one man cars are safe. There's a report coming forth from San Diego which also will show that you're just as

safe and maybe more safe in a one minute car because you don't take the risks. You don't have that macho image when you're in a one man car. You know you've got a partner to back you up. You may do some rather foolish things that you wouldn't do if you were alone. And for reasons such as this we have found that you're just as safe and maybe more so you one made car. You need to be guarantees that one man responses will be very limited to the cat up the tree and illegally parked car and those kinds of issues and that there is a system set up which requires some expenditures for dispatch where on anything else one man never goes in alone. The report and the union agree. New equipment is badly needed to be for one man. Cars can work safely in Buffalo. I have a problem with is kids system. Portable radio shack is updating equipment. I've been in police cars

safety equipment in the trunks of the police cars policy. You know those things that have to come in and be negotiated and have to be done. I bet that what started us looking and saying you know at least they're trying to do this on the right foot that could be negotiated. And we will sit on site for a while. I don't know how long. Citizen Complaints are rising because of the slower response time patrol operations are overwhelmed by calls for service. The study says because all cars are two man cars sometimes too much manpower sent to routine calls. OK he would not have to come in the car when that happens calls back up. And then there are times when calls are not answered. So tell you if you don't have any options. If you don't have any cars or whatever to give a call to you have to give two or three calls to one individual car and that car will have to get to the border port and call first and then take the other one

after he completes his first call. But if we go to one man in cars you're going to have a lot more cars available to answer calls and that would be very greatly reducing this problem. And if you have a look at the log she's done on out on patrol duty specially during the day time you'll see that many of the things they do are very routine. And I think you can do that. I think that I know is that potentially dangerous. The system has to be to converge. Exactly and I think much more importantly that you're doubling the presence of police presence on the streets that patrol car riding down a neighborhood street is probably the most important deterrent there can be do burglaries do car break ins to potential drug activity on street corners those kinds of things I think are the value of the one man kind. The union sees this as a way to cut manpower which means jobs lost.

And the study does say with one man patrols the department could use about 125 fewer officers. That is a recommendation in the report but that would also be a way of perhaps generating some revenue that could give them a raise. Of course we'd have to have more cars obviously. The report states we would need a great many more cars but there would still apparently be fines left over. That could perhaps be used for a raise for the officers. I don't see any other way they're going to get a raise. The city as you are very aware there's been cut back by the state a huge load of money apparently is what just 29 billion dollars next year next fiscal year. I don't know how they're going to survive under those conditions. There are some measures such as this take this report is money that for them to institute this report it recommends things that the city has canceled and tried to save it. Portable radios uniforms cars kids station houses. I mean this report involves money and the city is not

willing to give money I mean to bring us in the 90s it's going to cost the city money and we all know the mayor's stance as far as money goes. I don't have enough. There's nothing there. So what does he want us to do. No know it's tough. The police union and the city are currently negotiating a new contract. More on the study in teacher report. Good position you guys goes you got a lot of noise from the makers of almost too

much of the noise. Terrific. Very steady Connie is very clear and your vision is excellent. You almost one month after the operation you visions back to just about 2020 without any glasses. 2020 without any glasses. That's a quality of vision that most nearsighted people never dreamed they'd be capable of having without wearing glasses or contact lens. Now a new laser would be or laser makes a permanent vision correction possible for some people who are moderately nearsighted. It's a procedure under-study not yet approved for use in the United States developed in Germany and used in Europe and Japan. The procedure can now be done in Canada. An associate professor of ophthalmology at the University of Toronto began using the oximeter laser late in 1990. Dr. Joseph Weinstock Well I've

treated well over 100 patients with this procedure and they're all very happy. Have them all. Actually yes. If you run into any post-procedure complications infections anything know nothing bad no infections. I mean it's not perfect procedures. So my little overcorrected and one was unattracted. So we had to do them again but that's less than 1 percent incidence of that 90 percent are very very very happy. If you run into any downside to this. Right. Not really. No we were afraid that this haze that we had heard about it. I hate hearing has gone over the cornea might be a problem. We do see it but the patients don't seem to be bothered by it. So they really haven't been any downside problems. Those are 13 seconds that all right there. We got 1 1

2 1 1 4 1 9 1 a really good job when the laser fire you feel the sensation would be to decide that that's you do a dramatic procedure. Well of course last time these 12 years a lot of sports class has more work for free up to consider stuff such as Benjamin Campbell is not the only American heading for

Toronto to take advantage of this new technology. Niagara Falls ophthalmologist Dr. Klaus ficta was also chief of Ophthalmology of Mount St. Mary's Hospital in Lewiston is referring the appropriate patients to the laser eye clinic in Toronto. He studied the procedure in Europe. The new laser removes tissue in a unique way. It doesn't cut or burn properties of the laser or such of the the wavelength of the laser or such that it actually breaks the molecules of the bonds between the molecules in the cornea. And does this very gently so that as molecules are removed layer by layer with a laser treatment the surrounding molecules and the surrounding tissue is not damaged. It actually reshapes the surface of the cornea so we can pretty much think of this as a camera system whereby we have two lenses and then the film on the camera in myopia or

near-sightedness the length of the eye from front to back or the curvature of the cornea is too steep. So is the length of the eyes too long or the cornea is too steep so that the image instead of being focused on the retina is focused anterior to the retina. Now by flattening the front surface of the cornea with the laser by basically taking off the skin shaving off the or sculpting off the superficial apex You can therefore reduce the power of this lens so that the image falls back on the retina. And this is how we eliminate the myopia. Karen Nowak of Niagara Falls was the first Western New Yorker to have the laser care autonomy. Dawn in Toronto afterwards is there any discomfort. Yes there is. When they remove the

epithelium of the eye there is some discomfort. That first night and then the next day you're fine. So I probably say all in all this maybe about four or five hours of discomfort. Now how long have you worn either glasses or contacts before we had the procedure about 20 years the way you can see right now. What is exciting about it to you after wearing glasses or contacts for that period of time. I have to really say this about everything being able to open your eyes and wake up and see even see the alarm clock you can get out from bed and you don't have to worry about is the you know the coffee table in the living room floor or you can see it. Nothing is a blur. My theory I was was especially when I wore contacts was I needed my contacts or my glasses to find my contacts or my glasses. I mean I couldn't see anything at all so it's just it's everything. I can see I can just see driving. Driving Yeah I can see over here without having to turn my head.

I can see to the side. That type of thing is a lubricant for a person. So just to get you all used to the sound of the laser it makes the traffic get very steady. These rehearsals represent just one of many safeguards. Dr. Weinstock can stop the laser pulses instantly just by lifting his foot in case the patient loses vexation or would begin to move. And he's viewing the procedure through a microscope with great magnification but not all nearsighted patients can undergo the procedure. They have to fulfill a lot of requirements they have to have be near-sighted in the proper range of the best candidates are from around minus to the minus 6 but we do patients outside that range too. They can have a lot of astigmatism. They have to have realistic expectations. They have to understand the procedure and and its ramifications. But if they meet those requirements and they're good candidates and

they should get a very good result this reshaping of the cornea to rid the patient of myopia has been done surgically for a decade. But the Exham laser is expected to replace the surgical procedure in the radio care autonomy operation as this is done by cutting the cornea with a surgical instrument with the laser we're not cutting into the cornea. We're basically removing molecules through the laser energy. So it's a much gentler more precise type of treatment. And it's not traumatic to the eye like the R.K. operation is it's pretty expensive. Is it worth it. Definitely definitely. If you add up through the years once you spend on frames what you spend on lines is if you wear contacts how much you spend for contacts how much you spend for cleaning solution. I'm sure you'll find you spend over and above that not even cost factors

so much. It's just the quality of life that has a lot to do with it. Remember how near-sighted it used to be can you actually lost all your myopia. You really. No no. So did you hear some indication that my reading was wrong. It was. The tremendous amount of flow there I was I was trying to

turn my body upstream so I could see my crew and then they could only up been there and finally finally got off that this dramatic scene at the brink of Niagara Falls in December of 1990. It was just part of a work day for Gary shore project supervisor of the Marine Services Division of Embarq industries of Orchard Park was Specialist an underwater welding in Burnie. We do quite a bit of that. We we do clean out pipe clean outs. You get quite a bit of mud and debris and sediment and organic material. We clean those out. We do quite a bit of underwater inspection work. Our video system we inspect bridges and dams power houses things of that nature. And we also do concrete work and just about anything you name it. We can do it under water. This looks like mission control the masses of any kind of a control in here. Yes it is. This is where we control the air to the divers. This is one track system that we have. I'm sure the diver gets his air off these large bottles that we fill in in our

shop for their own breathing air compressor and the air is manifold to the divers we can put four divers in the water today. Diver one is in the water right now as a matter of fact. You can see that the regulators are set and. We have two bottles on the rock. There's the main air stand by air. Should there ever be a problem with the bottle or the regulator. We simply turn this valve on and switch that valve. And that's which is the divers air and immediately the diver would be running off the second bottle. This is a typical helmet that the diver wears. This is a lightweight helmet not the heavy traditional helmet that so many people associate commercial diving with this particular helmet which is known as a head in the industry. What about the emergency your fingers cut off. It lights up if there is an emergency every diver wears what's called a bailout bottle. That's a small bottle that he wears. Generally it's worn upside down. Very similar to a Scott air pack that a fireman would wear. Divers simply opens up this valve. He opens up the valve on the bottle itself and he's got air to get him back to the surface. And one

of the jabs we often do is cutting wood underwater whether it be old docks or piles or bridges. And this is underwater chainsaw similar to a gas powered chainsaw but it's hydraulically driven. And these tools are specially made to work underwater. And another common. Job for the diver would be setting concrete anchors underwater. So we use a hammer drill and it's also a hydraulic tool. This is what we use to drill holes and eventually set concrete anchors in those holes. And another tool I can show you. This looks like a big circular saw. That's exactly what it is. This is a hydraulic cut saw that we use underwater. And this particular model is used for cutting steel so we can cut HVM files I-beam and we also cut a pipe with it. Just be careful of your line. That's right. Keep it away from your line. What was your most. Exciting job. I think one of the most exciting jobs I had definitely was the recovery of the ice pool and barrel for the New York Power Authority that was on the brink of Niagara Falls

approximately four feet from the brink. The operation went very well. That was that was a heart pounding out your most dangerous job hopefully your most exciting one as well as the nature of the job being that close to the brink. No one had ever worked that close to the brink with water flowing. And we were the first people to actually get that far and be able to tell you about it. But so the rigging was essential we had to use larger lines than normal. For instance we used three quarter inch polypropylene lines versus maybe half inch lines we would use on another job. So the rigging was essential communications were vital. We had three radios out there in bags to keep them dry. So if one radio went down there was another radio and that happened to go down. It was a third radio on standby. There was quite a bit of pressure. Not only was was the current a problem but the Masie buildup made the rocks very very slick. So even a slight amount of current had a tendency to bring your feet out from under you. So what we did was we we just put extra weight on her feet to try to give us more traction and we also spent quite a bit of time on her hands and knees

grovelling along on the bottom. But we were very lucky. It went well. Took you a little while and then it took three days to recover the manliness that you did. Yes we did your job today here at the plant. Can you just briefly tell me what you're doing and how it's how it's going. Yes I will. This particular job is for Niagara County Water District and the consulting engineers are the engineers and the general contractors. John Danforth Well no contractor in Buffalo. And Mark is a primary Marine contractor and we are installing piping underwater piping and the defuser system and the actual intake that will eventually supply chlorine to kill his evil muscles mussels will kill the existing muscles and the dosages will also prevent muscles from adhering to the pipeline in the future. Eventually that intake pipe that we're putting in here will then have a diffuser put on it which will be a long way with the pipe with a series of holes in it so that the chlorine solution line it to be carrying it to kill the zebra mussels with the fuse

across the entire circumference of the intake pipe. Divers will be going down a suit which will allow them to see this oil piping through the intake line. They'll also be a diver out of the intake itself. It's not a boat that is holding the cable. So the line from the intake. Out and out in like a river and a diver here in the state to make sure that it's not hung up on anything with it. The first thing we're going to do is pull it out of the road take up all the slack just just. You. Know. What we're doing here is overseeing the entire construction process behind us

here. You see the beginnings of a concrete building that will house the storage tanks from the sodium hypochlorite the pumps the electronic analyzers and equipment. And we will take the sodium hypochlorite the bleach out in small quantities through pumps and pump it out into the river just south of where the boat is. And it will be diffused in the water and all of the zebra mussels that are attached to the piping and the equipment will receive small doses of chlorine and that will reduce their growth or else kill them. You're going down today. You they're going to do any inspection work on this project. We have. And what are you what will you be doing down there. So what we're doing is putting chlorine line through the intake down there making sure the lines are coming through smooth and when it does reach you. Oh you'll be at the mouth of the intake and so on. Why do it. Was resisted calling for a stop on the surface. Right. And there. Will.

Be five and a half about some 10 to 20 feet. Visibility will be. I expect maybe five inches of water will be pushed back. To the dark waters of. The high and test the hole the light on the camera. Your line is coming through which tunnel. Would be the software that. Would be the one for the substrate. When we got in there. Leave it. Sixty four inches. Almost. Enough room and feel. Claustrophobic. No. John you're also a diver with the mike. What will you be doing today. This is the particular camera that Mike is going down to do the inspection with. It's got a 500 watt bulb on the side that we'll be using. And it does it have automatic focus you have to focus it manually. This particular camera is approximately good for about a thousand feet of water.

And my job is going to consist of just running the video here on topside and admired divers divers air supply in the water. Yeah probably be. Less. This. Is what gives you more to deal with your diet over. The. Last year is a long career choice. But since you don't you know take that. Hello. R.

R R R R R R R R R R. OK. Why would it be OK if we made up for it. No. OK we're going to go ahead make them. Also if you want to stay clear. It's easy. All right. This was. Not. In our face. We're looking at. This is the problem robot records Polychrome line. This is the snatch

walked into kaching right at the concrete wall. And this is actually connected to the two. Pieces of pipe that we were reading through the Korean lines. We got the OK and we're going to come up on it. We also recall stories of divers getting the bends. Is that does that still happen. Yes it does. I shall reason on how you treat it. It does happen today. Thank goodness not as frequent because technologies that we understand the bends are caissons disease more and we can prevent it. But quite simply that happens when a diver stays in depth either too long or it comes up too fast and the nitrogen which is in his blood that goes from the liquid state to a gash state that causes bubbles in the blood and they tend to form in joints. The pain is such that the diver actually bends over. Hence the name the bends. And I suppose you're aware of certain facilities that have

certain chambers and yes there are the closest one to us right now. Millard Fillmore has the compression type recompression chamber. Recompress it's a reconstruction chamber. Good. Is there any such thing as a most enjoyable job. Yes there is. We're very lucky we have many occasions to dive in the drinking water plants in Buffalo Niagara Falls in western New York and that's actually in a filtered water after it's just ready to be pumped to your house. And we have occasion to go work on things under water. So naturally the visibility is just beautiful and it's usually warm and it's just a pleasure to dive in an atmosphere like that. You're swimming in my drinking Rees's women you're drinking water almost on a daily basis. However there must be some kind of protection. Yes it certainly is. Every time a diver goes into a drinking water situation and whose equipment is contaminated with a 12 percent chloride solution like a bleach would disinfect the equipment and the divers in one point of interest friend. We are a 24 hour service

company so we keep a truck very similar to this. Mobilize 24 hours a day. Ready to go at a moment's notice and we often do that. Emergency yes we do.
