A4 THE OAKVILLE BEAVER Wednesday November 22, 2000 PREGNANT & NEED HELP? F re e C o n fid e n tia l S e rv ic e O a k v i l l e SAVE TIME A N D EFFORT To enjoy convenient home delivery of The Oakville Beaver 3 times a week X Susan Kober, 84, first local female MD / Dr. Susan Kober, Oakville's first woman doctor, died last Wednesday at Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital. She was 84. She was bom in Toronto on April 12, 1916, and was orphaned at age 12 when her parents were killed in a car-train accident, according to her daughter Anne Weir. She was the fourth eldest of six children "who were spread out - they didn't go to one family." In 1941, she graduated from the University of Toronto's Medical School. "It was remarkable that she made it to medical school," said her daughter, "and at that time for a woman." Upon graduation, she came to Oakville as Commanding Officer of the Ortona Barracks (now Oaklands Regional Centre), which was an army convalescent hospital during World War n. While there, she met and married Ted Kober in 1943. After completing a one-year internship at St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto, Dr. Kober returned to Oakville, opening her practice at the Wilson Street home she and her husband purchased. "Her very first patient, on her opening day, was (the late) Pamela Caine Stokes," said her daughter. During her 40 years as a genersomething she had always wanted to do, and was turned down by other organizations because of her age. However, the Presbyterians accepted her offer. She was the first doctor at this 63-bed hospital in five years, and its first Canadian doctor. It served 5,000 people liv ing in villages surrounding Livingstonia, a mission site. She lived in a house provided by the church, and had a staff of three houseboy, cook and gardener. Returning from Africa, she con tinued to practice, "doing physicals for insurance companies," said her daughter. "She worked until three months before her death at age 84." It is believed she died from Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, and "that she contracted this disease, which can incubate in the human body for several years, while in Africa. At the hospital in Malawi, there was no running water, no electricity, no robber gloves and no sterilization equipment." A celebration of her life was held Tuesday at St. Jude's Anglican Church, following internment at St. Jude's Memorial Garden. She was predeceased by her husband Ted Kober in 1983. Dr. Kober is survived by her two daughters, Anne Weir, of Oakville, and Perry Mouncey, of Syracuse, N.Y., and five grandchil dren. 8 2 5 -1 2 1 6 M i l t o n M o n d a y - T hursday 7 7 a .m . - 5 p .m .

NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETINGS Town of Oakville Zoning By-law Review - Industrial Zoning Component - 8 4 5 -6 6 0 1 ____ The Town of Oakville is currently undertaking a detailed comprehensive review of the Town's Zoning By-law No. 1984-63. The `industrial component' of this Review is now near completion, and has resulted in the preparation of draft amendments to both the Town's Official Plan and Zoning By-law. The draft amendments will effect changes to all industrial lands within the municipality, including all industrial lands within the Burloak, QEW West, QEW East, Winston Park, and Winston Park West Industrial Districts, lands within the Mid-Town Core Employment District, and a very limited number of other industrial properties not located within a defined industrial or employment district. The draft amendments propose to add certain use permissions to virtually all industrial properties within the municipality, however, in many cases, certain existing use permissions will be limited or restricted, or removed altogether. With few exceptions, all industrial properties within the municipality will also be subject to either minor or major revisions to regulatory standards affecting development on individual properties. To date, major issues that have been identified through the industrial zoning review, and which will be affected by the draft amendments, include office use and retail use permissions, general industrial operations and outside storage and operations, waste processing and transfer facilities, increased regulatory standards along the major highway corridors, and the removal of site specific special provision by-law requirements. Please be advised that three public meetings will be held to discuss the proposed draft Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law A m endm ent The first two meetings will be open house/information meeting sessions hosted by the Planning Services Department to provide opportunity for public review and input into the draft Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendments. The first open house/information meeting session will be held on Tuesday, November 28,2000 commencing with an open house session from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., and followed by an information meeting commencing at 7:00 p.m. The open house session will be held in the Bronte Room, and the information meeting held in the Trafalgar Room, both located at Town Hall, 1225 Trafalgar Road, Oakville. The second open house/information meeting session will be held on Thursday, November 30, 2000 commencing with an open house session from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., and followed by an information meeting commencing a t 7:00 p.m. Both the open house and information meeting will be held in the Oakville Room, Town Hall, 1225 Trafalgar Road, Oakville.
