Thanks Again
A Des Plaines man nearly died 30 years ago but the heroic efforts of his sons and paramedics saved his life. One of those paramedics is now Fire Chief John Heavey who the Des Plaines man wanted to thank once again.
Ralph Corned was only 42 when he experienced chest pains at his home on Apr. 26, 1976. "I was walking from the living room into the kitchen," he said. He remembers nothing else until he was in a hospital bed moving from the emergency room into the intensive care unit.
However, the rest of his family remember what else happened. Ralph had two sons, Kevin and Jim who were 15 and 13 at the time. Both boys were in Boy Scouts and received training in First Aid.
Marilyn Conrad, Ralph's wife of 47 years as of July 4, 2006, said, "At that time, the Boy Scouts were not allowed to do CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation)." The scouts only learned mouth-to-mouth resuscitation in the program.

Deeds day for needy women
SEVENTEEN widows, spinsters and divorcees yesterday became the first Bahraini women to be given government homes under a new law.
They were presented with the deeds to the newly-built homes by Shaikha Sabeeka bint Ibrahim Al Khalifa, wife of His Majesty King Hamad and chairwoman of the Supreme Council for Women.
Some women have been awarded government homes in the past, but it was not a general practice because there were no specific regulations stating that they were eligible.
This changed after negotiations in 2004 between the Cabinet and the Supreme Council for Women.
The council said the old rules discriminated against women in need, or who had to support themselves or their families.
A new law, giving such women the right to government homes, was ratified in March last year.
