20 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, November 29, 1988 Shocked residents find voting a 'real nuisance' (From page 1) was not on the list. David Malcolm, who lives east of Caesarea "vouched" for about a dozen voters whose names were not on the lists. One resident told the Star that there appeared to be confusion on the part of some voters between the federal enumeration and the municipal one for the local voting the previous week. Some voters showed up in Nestleton to vote in the federal election, when they should have gone to the polling station in Caesarea. They had voted in Nestleton in previous elections and just as- sumed they would vote there this time.

Others were angry when they found out their names were not on the voting lists, and the only way they could cast their ballot was to have someone "vouch" for their identity. Durham riding returning offi- cer Allan McConney said he doesn't know how many people in the Scugog Point area were missed by enumerators. He said the fact the area is iso- lated, and a lot of people are away from home during the day, could be the reasons why they were overlooked in the enumeration process. But he said that voters have a certain amount of personal respon- sibility to find out before the elec- tion if they are on the voting lists, and if they are not, to take the steps to get their names on the lists. And he said he's not certain how many people voted by having someone "vouch" for their identi- ty. There were a couple of other areas in Durham riding where resi- dents had been missed by the enu- meration process. Meanwhile, it appears as if the voter turn-out for the federal election in Durham was very high. About 74 per cent of eligi- ble voters cast ballots on Novem- ber 21. That's 51,803 of the 70,577 eligible voters in this riding. Final results show Conserva- tive Ross Stevenson capturing 24,064 votes, followed by Liberal Doug Moffatt with 15,100; NDP Marg Wilbur with 10,336" Chris- tian Heritage Party John Kuiper with 1,665; Libertarian Rolf Pos- ma with 324 and Green Party can- didate Harold Tausch with 314.

Tracy dreams of operating a group home (From page 3) She has recently finished a crisis intervention course, she has taken St. John's Ambulance courses, she has a bronze cross in swim- ming, she knows CPR and is in the process of learning sign lan- guage on her own. She says she'd like to take a sign language course, but simply can't find the time. Knowing sign language is im- porant to Tracey, because many of the "clients" she works with find it hard to communicate in any other way. Obviously, her work at Central Seven is difficult, but it's a job she loves and feel strongly about. "There's a lot of people who don't like to be around physically or mentally challenged people," Tracey says. "I think they're afraid of them, and it bothers me some- times." There have been occasions where her own school mates have asked her why she bothers. And one time, her ADHOD ciient stood outside a school door, one hand in a cast, the other loaded down with books, while seven people walked by without offering to open the door. Another time, she was waiting in line at one of Canada's Wonder- land rides with clients, when other people in line started making fun of one girl in particular. Tracey got angry. "People are so "cruel. When I'm out with clients, I don't introduce them as clients, or treat them differently. I talk to them like I talk to anybody else, even though sometimes they don't understand me. To me, they're friends." She enjoys working in the Cen- tral Seven group home atmos- phere so much that she hopes to go to college and make a career out of helping challenged people. Her ultimate dream would be to open a group home of her own. "I always used to want to open my own group home but now I know how much work is in- volved, how difficult it is to open one. Nobody seems to want a group home near them." Tracey is a firm believer in helping challenged people, through group homes and special training, achieve certain levels of independence, including holding down jobs. She says there are far too many people stuck awzty in institutions, and hopes sor:c day in the future, institutions wil go the way of the dinosaur, except in extremely severc cases where con- stant care is absolutely necessary. She claims many people wouldn't be so afraid of challenged people if they simply took the time to get to know them, but she admits doing what she is do- ing isn't for everybody. "It takes a lot of patience, a lot of understanding, and a lot of love." Ron Mollon explains Tracey's interest exists in part because of her own learning disability. "She appreciates the problems they've got because of her own problem. She has a lot of under- standing," he told the Star. And although Tracey says in one breath that it takes a lot of patience to be involved with chal- lenged people, in another breath she adds, "To volunteer for Cen- tral Seven, all you have to do is have fun." Tracey does all this, and then some. She helps her family with chores at home, including assist- ing her father in his kennel, where he raises German Shepherds. She has lectured at York University, teaching teachers how to deal with slow learners. She has served on Port Perry High School's student council, and she curls on the school's team. Somehow, she also manages to find time for a boyfriend and a multitude of friends. In all of her different activities, there is one common thread-- Tracey's love of people. She sur- rounds herself with people, all kinds of people, day in and day out. There is no time for loneli- ness in Tracey Mollon's young life. "I do, I love people, cause they're so different. They're unique," she says with a winning smile. "The more people, the better!" ANNOUNCEMENT ALEX J. SHEPHERD, ' Chartered Accountant is pleased to welcome into his practice MR.
