Cochrane's judgement, which found him not guilty of six counts of prescribing controlled drugs to a non -patients is a "classic, almost constitu- tional" document. The judgement was delivered just before Christmas. In a telephone call to the Expositor following his acquittal, Dr. Moyo said he intends to come back to Seaforth to live and to practise "one of these days." Dr. Moyo, born in Zimbabwe (Rhodesia) in 1930, qualified as a medical practitioner in Ontario in 1962 and practised medicine here from 1967 to 1980. ., - Praising "the judge's decision, "I've never' seen such clear, objective thinking in my life", Dr. Moyo said his tri concerned the right of doctors to practise edicine as they see fit. "1 fought it because didn't want to betray my own fellow doctors ' he said, noting he could have avoided the charges by returning to his native Zttnbabwe. He added, "It wasn't only me on trial", in the case, the first in Ontario and possibly Canada that saw a doctor charged with prescribing controlled drugs to a person who was not his patient. Judge Cochrane concludes that person, QPP undercover officer Carol Anne Alfred, was a patient of Dr. Moyo's and that "what was prescribed in each instance could be of some use in the condition he diagnosed." He cites the evidence of Seaforth doctor John Underwood's testimony that while a physical examination would be necessary to diagnose, for example, a sore throat, it would not be essential in the case of depression. Dr. Moyo testified that he considered the constable a drug -addicted black woman and diagnosed her condition as reactive depres- sion. Tape recordings were made by the undercover offiber during her visits to Dr. Moyo in the winter and spring of 1980. She testified that she asked the doctor for something to relieve her husband's headache pain, that she did not consider herself a patient and avoided giving the doctor that impression. Dr. Moyo said he considered the woman, who never revealed her true identity, 'as his patient and he prescribed for her, not her husband. Judge Cochrane points out that it was not until the undercover officer's third visit to Dr. Moyo's office that he prescribed controlled drugs. He adds the woman always made appointments; saw the doctor during office hours and "behaved in a manner common to patients in general. The judge agreestivith Dr. Underwood that while a medical history, adequate files and a -medical examination are "desirable" when dealing with such a complaint "the failure to do one or all of these things does not negate the (doctor -patient) relationship." "Constable Alfred is a black woman visiting a black doctor in a country where HE HURON EXPOSITOR, JANUARY 12, 1983 — A3 Storm stock up blacks are a small minority," the judge adds. "Constable Alfred is a very attractive woman in manner and appearance and it 4s obvious from, the evidence that the doctor was aware of this and was anxious to impress her and to establish a more personal social relationship with her. 1 believe that because of this, his reaction to her, he said many things without giving thought 'to the consequences of what he satd, and many of his comments if taken out of context would appear damaging to his position." In his conclusion, Judge Cochrane says Dr. Moyo may have committed a breach or reaches of a professional code of ethics... but 1 must be satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt that he intended to commit and did commit the offences as alleged. I am not so satisfied". Dr. Moyo said the Cochrane decision "protects doctors from what could be harassment" if outside bodies were allowed to decide who were bona fide patients and who were not. Dr. Moyo is now practising and teaching in Brooklyn, New York. He has been indicted by a grand jury there on charges of conspiringto murder his estranged wife, Dr. Lorraine Roth•Moyo. The Moyos were separated in 1975 and she now lives in Rochester, N.Y. It's ironic, Dr. Moyo told the Expositor, that a drug addict, the sort of person he was trying to help in Canada and who got him into trouble. testified against him in New York.

In fact, it's often the other way, around. When you've got the jumper cables your car battery behaves itself. The day you decide winter isn't going to come this year and put them back in the basement. your battery goes dead. All of this is a lead-in to a column I'm just a touch nervous about committing to paper. It concerns a series of ideas and information on stocking up the kitchen for those storm -stayed days yet to come. Look at it like this: if you follow this advice and get ready for the worst, the mildest winter in 100 years will continue. if you follow the advice and the storms cometh, you're all set. We'll start with the worst. If past storms are any indication, there's a fair pos- sibility, especially if you live in the country. that the hydro will be off for at least part of the time you're snowed in. Here, courtesy of a home economist writing in the Ogemaw County (Michigan) Herald is what -you can eat, and still meet calorie and (OM ° QC@ oWdorWd nutritional needs. For breakfast you give 'em canned juice, dry cereal with raisins, powdered milk (yes, you can add water...if the' pump's working) and canned nut bread. For lunch you can get a little more elaborate, with peanut butter and cheese spread on crackers, and choc- olate milk. Let all the stops out at dinner time and eat canned three -bean salad, de- villed hani on crackers, can- ned fruit and instant pud- ding. For snacks the family can munch on nuts or dried fruits, while drinking tomato juice. The Michigan home econ- omist suggests setting up an emergency food shelf and she says the items on it can be stored for six months to a year. While we're not big consumers of canned goods at our place and 1 quarrel with some of her suggestions, there's a lot of variety on her list. And most of us know from experience it can get pretty frustrating, eating the same old stuff meal after meal when you're snowed in. A basic list, to get von through a few storm -stayed days, power off or power on, follows. • Milk and dairy products, canned evaporated mil cr, —powdered --nonfat dry milk, and instant cocoa pow- der. Use milk for soups, instant puddings, sauces, and hot and cold drinks. Cheese spreads are available in aerosol cans. • Fruit and vegetables: canned fruit juices, tomato juice, canned tomatoes, Corn, beans, peas or other favor- ites: canned fruits and apple- sauce, dried fruits such as raisins and prunes; instant potatoes. • Breads and cereals: Crackers, ready -to -eat or cooked cereal: rice, spaghet- ti, noodles or other pasta, small box of baking mix; canned date and nut breads. • Meats, fish and poultry and beans: peanut butter; canned tuna, chicken, deviled ham, and dried beef, dried beans and peas; canned beef stew, and small canned ham not needing refrigeration. • Other: nuts, jam, coffee and tea, canned or dried soups (chunky style or split peas or bean); canned spa- ghetti sauce, canned dishes such as spaghetti and meat- balls, hash and baked beans. Tightly wrapped cookies, hard candy. For a treat, add a jar or box of your favourite junk food... mine is popcorn and it runs out fast when you're stuck in the house for days at a time.

Cochrane to retire early BY STEPHANIE LEVESQUE After 15 years as director of education John Cochrane v ill retire from the position effective June 30, 1983. Huron County Board of Education chair- man Dorothy Wallace initially made the announcement in her inaugural address at the board's Jan. 10 meeting. The board accepted with regret Mr. Cochrane's formal 'resignation letter. "For several years I had planned to retire at the end of 35 years in the teaching profession. ie. on June 30, 1984. and i can assure you that this decision to leave one year earlier than planned has not been made lightly orweasily, " stated Mr. Cochrane's letter of resignation. Mr. Cochrane and Mrs. Wallace pointed out .Mr. Cochrane's reason for., early retirement is based on the changes coming to the educational system. "As you know, the year 1984 will see the beginning of a large number of changes in the school system. All of these announced changes are going to require heavy emphasis on long range planning. In my opinion it would be inconsiderate of me to become involved in such planning and then leave before it was finished or the resulting projects started. Such a move would be unfair to the board. to the staff. and to the students. not to say anything about being unfair to a successor who would have to inherit my work, whether he or she agreed with it or not. i believe very firmly that the person responsible for any long-term planning should also be the person responsible for the implementation and the successes or failures,' said Mr. Cochrane. Mrs. Wallace commented. "he has endured a mixed bag of experiences from the time when we had to search for ways to spend enough to qualify for our grant monies (although this isn't the case any more), through dealing with fractious trustees, through the unpleasant experience of a strike, through changes in board and administration methods of operation to The holidays in Varna Correspondent MARY CIEIESSELL 482.9969 Because of the post office holiday on Monday, last week's copy was late in arriving at the Expositor.

More mail here but Christmas volume down Seaforth Post Master Clar- ence Holmes reported an increase in the volume of mail here for 1982 over the previous year, with the ex- ception of the Christmas months of November and December, which saw a slight decline in the dumber of letters handled. According to Mr. Holmes. the local post office handled 183,178 letters in 1981. in 1982 that figure had risen to 211.188 for the year. an increase of approximately 15 per cent. The post office registered a decline in the amount of Christmas mail from 1981 to 1982. in November and Dec. ember of the first year the post office processed 64,200 letters. while only 52,150 letters were handled in the sameeriod in 1982. a reduction of23per cent. Mr. Holmes attributes the reduction to hat& economic times, but explains that no part-time help was required for the Christmas rush, which helped the post office offset extra costs. Mr. Hol- mes feels that Canada Post is attempting to cut costs in an effort to decrease amounting deficit. He estimates that for the Seaforth operation revenue was up approximately 35 per cent for 1982. ew residents in Constance Correspondent MARY MEANER 482-7143 Before Christmas Anna Dolmage and Florence Mc- Llwain visited with Mr. and Mrs. Borden Brown of Han- over.
