= Vol. 130 Number 50 Remembrance Day A time to reflect for local war vets By Heather McCrae The Port Perm Star For 57 years, in war and peace, Vic Sparrow and Bill Lee have been friends. And as Remembrance Day once again draws near, the local men find their minds casting back more often to the war years, and the circumstances that brought them together. The two war vets met September 1939 when they enlisted in the Canadian army, making up part of the 267 men who comprised the Second Field Company, Royal Canadian . Engineers, After receiving extensive mili- tary training in Toronto the troops embarked for England on the SS Antonio, landing on English soil May 10, 1940. It was during the Dieppe Raid on Aug. 19, 1942, -- he largest amphibian raid to that date in which 1,000 Canadians lost their lives," said Mr, Sparrow --, that the two men were captured by the Germans and remained prisoners of war Please Turn to Page 15 Doctors suggest talks crucial to avoid shutdown By Jeff Mitchell The Port Perry Star Keep talking. That's the best advice that local representatives on both sides of the current dispute between doc- tors.and the provincial govern- ment can give following the col- lapse last week of a tentative agreement. On Thursday (Oct. 31) the Ontario Medical Association (OMA) rejected a deal put forth by health minister Jim Wilson, after more than 75 per cent of doctors across the province voted against it in a phone poll. Dr. Mike Gilmour, chief of med- ical staff at Community Memorial Hospital in Port Perry, predicted before the vote the agreement would be voted down. He said last week that doctors liked some pro- visions of the proposal, but couldn't stomach a clause that would allow the government to force new doctors to practice in underserviced areas. He said that there is the ground work for an agreement in place; it's important now to keep PELLE, negotiating to arrive at a settle- ment before doctors launch job action, said Dr. Gilmour. The province offered to reduce the clawback on doctors' billing from 10 per cent to 2.9 per cent, and put forth incentives on fund- ing for malpractice insurance. In return the health minister insist- . ed on the right to refuse OHIP billing numbers to new doctors from graduating classes for the next two years unless they set up practices in rural and underser- viced areas. "I couldnt accept that agree- ment with that clause in place," Dr. Gilmour said Friday. "I think most doctors here in Port Perry were represented by what happened (rejection of the deal) elsewhere in the province." Dr. Gilmour said it's crucial now that talks not break off. Mr. Wilson said last week he'd make a decision on his next move over the weekend; meanwhile, various spe- cialists across the province have vowed they'll stop taking on new cases at the end of this week.
