Most of us probably fali somewhere in between, viewing change as sometimes inevitable, sometimes neces- sary, sometimes desirable. Depending on what's changing and to what degree our tolerance for change goes up and down accordingly. Up until now folks in Milton who no longer were able to or no longer wished to live a totally inde- pendent lifestyle had no option but to seek assisted living facilities outside of the area. This change, away from things and places familiar, separated by time and distance from family and friends, has been a significant burden for many. Soon, those in similar circumstances will find they have a new option, Martindale Gardens. Martindale Gardens, Milton's only assisted living facility, is now under construction and wilI be welcoming its first residents in the Summer of 2003. Located in the heart of downtown Milton, Martindale Gardens will offer meal preparation, housekeeping, care support and the availability of other personal assistance ail provided in a warm, secure and friendly environ- ment. Martindale Gardens is a volunteer based, not for profit project motivated by the recognition that the truest and most enduring measure of a community is how it cares for its own. This is especially true as Milton engages the challenge and opportunity of rapid change. Many individuals, businesses and Government leaders have recognized the impor- tance of Martindale Gardens to this community and have gathered around it in support. Won't you join us? Please consider a year-end charitable gift to Martindale Gardens. Donations of aIl sizes are wel- comed and will be recognized. Sizable gifts from $1 ,000 to $25,000 and up carry opportunities for a variety of prestige recognition. Support Martindale Gardens and be a part of positive change in Milton. Thank you.

The first known bur- il ini the cemetery occurred i July 1824, with thse death of'fThomas Harrison.

T)owpsey and By RICHARD VIVIAN The Champion Efforts to attract foreigu- trained doctors to Milton are likely to increase with the expansion of training spaces, despite the town losing its under-serviced designation, say local physician recruiters. Last month, Premier Emie Eves laid out a new multi-faccted plan to make it casier for foreign-trained doctors to get licences to practice in Ontario. lncluded in thc plan is thc cre- ation of 110 new post-graduate training positions geared toward international medical graduates (IMIGs), and a new fast track asscssmcnt pilot programn for IMIGs practicing outside Ontario. "'Mis bas bcen an announcement a number of us have been hcaring was coming soon, 50 it was good to hear it," 'physician rccruitment offi- cer for Halton Region Angela Sudgen-Praysner told The Champion. "There are a number of thcm (foreign-trained doctors) around 64N4 have re-applled to the ministry and asked if they would extend our under- serviced area to accomniodate new physicians to meet the needs of the population.", that have donc a wholc scries of tests and then couldn't get any fur- ther (in liccncing) hecause they couldn't get into the limited seats available." Thc plan would further requirc doctors who graduate through the assessmcnt programn to commit to a practicc for up to Ove ycars in under-serviccd arcas. Howevcr, that aspect of the plan will have lcss impact on Milton now than it would've just a fcw montbs ago.

With several new doctors com- ing to town over the past year, Milton has met the recommended balance of residents and doctors - one doctor per 1,380 residents. But the loss of an under-serviced designation will 'hopefully" be short- lived, explained Cindy McDoncîl, chief operating officer at Milton District Hospital. "Our population has grown. We are not under-serviced based on a population of 32,000 (as it was when the designation was first made), but our population is proba- bly over 40,000 now," she said. -We have re-applied to the min- istry and asked if they would extend our under-serviced area to accommnodate new physicians to meet the needs of the population." Despite losing the under-serv- iced designation, Ms Sudgen- Praysner expressed optimism over attracting foreign-trained doctors to Milton and the rest of Halton. -Typically, 1 do speak to a few foreign-trained doctors weekly. They'rc out there looking."
