Matthews, Lount pardon
official stamp sought
A group that includes a number of local
residents hopes to convince federal and
provincial governments to make amends for
the wrongful execution of a local freedom
fighter more than 150 years ago.
They're also seeking support to co-sponsor
efforts to recognize what was virtually the
royal pardon of former Pickering resident
Peter Matthews and Samuel Lount. Both were
tried for treason and executed in 1838.
Family and Friends of Peter Matthews and
Samuel Lount seek public recognition by
federal and provincial governments for the
wrongful execution of both men.
The group i8 hoping to convince the Ontario
Heritage Foundation and the Toronto
Historical Board to place a recognition plaque
at the site of the execution at King Street East
and Toronto Street in Toronto.
Eighth -generation descendant Richard
Matthews of Michigan has spearheaded an
effort to mount a plaque marking the burial
place of Peter Matthews. The marker will be
saveiled seat year at the Necropolis Cemetery
in Toronto.
Those interested in helping with the effort
should contact Mark Frank at 487-0625.
Heavy ,coater leak cause
broken strainer
lsvestigations show last week's tritiated
heavy water leak occurred at Pickering
Nuclear Station when a piece of broken
strainer damaged a moderator heat exchanger
tube. Lake water used to cool the moderator
beat exchanger carried the contaminated
heavy water back into Lake Ontario.
Unit One at the Pickering Station will return
to power in early October after repairs to the
moderator heat exchanger and regular annual
maintenance have been completed, says an
Ontario Hydro press statement.
In 21 years of operation, this is the first time
these strainers have caused this problem and a
reoccurrence is not expected. However, an
inspection program has been launched to
ensure there are no other loose or damaged
strainers in these systems, Hydro says.
The tritiated heavy water released was less
than 3 per cent of the limit established by the
federal regulatory group, Atomic Energy
Control Board. There was no danger to local
residents, says the Hydro statement.
Local residents seeking more information
may telephone 839-0465, or visit the Pickering
Energy Information Centre at the foot of
Brock Road seven days a week from 9 am to 4
pm.
Walked into traffic in 401
crash daze
Apparently dazed after rear -ending a car on
the 401 at Liverpool Road here at 2:30 am
Sunday, Grade 13 Markham student Kenneth
Yrzovski, 19, was killed when he walked into
high-speed highway traffic, say OPP.
One vehicle side-swiped him down, two
others ran over his kgs, then a motor home
towing a sports car hit him. The motor home
stopped, but after a damage check, left the
scene like the others.
OPP seek a motor home with sewage outlet
equipment missing, also another unknown
vehicle which may be a van and was driven by
a pregnant woman.
Waste Reduction Week
Ajax -Pickering challenge
The challenge is on for Pickering and Ajax
residents to see who can reduce the most
household waste during Waste Reduction Week
Sept. 27 to Oct. 4.
The week's garbage pickup will be tallied by
weight, so compacting won't help. Residents
are encouraged to not merely save garbage for
the next week, but really make the effort to
reduce.
The "three Rs" of waste reduction will
provide the winning formula for reducing
household waste during that week. A number
of ideas are being suggested including:
— putting out curbside recyclables like
cans, glass, newspapers, corrugated cardboard
and even telephone books.
— dropping off batteries at town igloos for
safe disposal of their toxic ingredients.
— recycling fine paper by taking it to your
place of business if they recycle or the Ecology
Shop in Ajax.
— composting can reduce household
garbage by one-third.
Elderly, families benefit
from $160,000 grant here
A much-needed $160,000 injection of
provincial cash will help create greater public
awareness of a program aimed at preventing
abuse of the elderly, and another to improve
•Adomw cool w twp*w "dw roti fumum

J
families' access to health services in Durham
Region.
The province's health ministry announced
last week it would give $59,840 over the next
two years to the Durham Region Community
Care Association for elder abuse education co-
ordination.
The program targets the problem of elderly
abuse by relatives and strangers. The
provincial funds will help pay for victim
support groups, media campaigns and
speakers who will address a variety of
organizations on the issue.
Durham Region's department of health
services will receive $99,450 over the next two
years to promote a program designed to
improve families' access to health promotion
information and services.
Durham Region's District Health Council
recommended both projects for provincial
health promotion grants. The Ontario
government recently awarded to 19
community-based projects across the province
a total of $1.5 w4lion.
Grants of up to $50,000 a year for two years
were made available to non-profit health care
organizations.
Close 400 ramp until
October
The ramp from Steeles Avenue east and
westbound to Highway 400 southbound will
close Aug. 19, after evening rush hour, and will
remain closed until approximately late October
for construction. Motorists should use
Highway 7 or Finch Avenue to access Highway
400 southbound.

'' < Breakthrough in
Lower Denture
Stability
................
Many dental patients
suffer with dentures that
slip, slide and shift.
Unstable dentures make
speech difficult and
proper mastication of
food almost impossible.
It doesn't have to be this
way! The result of over
five years of development,
the, MyolocT" system is the
truly affordable route to
stable lower dentures for
virtually every edentulous
patient and it eliminates
the need for messy
adhesives. The stabilizers
are completely invisible.
The Myoloc' system
offers your edentulous
patients an immediate
improvement in: lower
denture retention,
stability, speech,
mastication, elimination
of "clicking" sounds and
decreased food
entrapment.
A non-surgical
procedure?
And it is non irritating
and non interfering to the
wearer. This Canadian -
made and designed
Myoloc` system has three
years of clinical testing
and has proved
remarkably effective for
lower denture wearers.
For more information
please arrange a free
consultation with your
Myoloc' expert, Walter
J.Wimmer, D.T., 420-
5020.
LOWER DENTURE STABILITY
The Myoloc"rm System -

Questions and answers about disposable lenses
Do patients who wear
disposable lenses need
solutions?
Yes. Contrary to some
popular misconceptions about
disposable lenses, most patients
who wear them do need to
purchase cleaning sohrrions on a
regular basis.
Disposable lenses were
originally marketed for seven
days of continuous wear.
However, the majority of
Canadians wearing disposables
do so on a daily wear basis,
removing them at the end of
each day.
Every night, when the lenses
are removed, they must be
cleaned and disinfected.
There are no short cuts.
Simply removing the lenses and
storing them in saline is not
adequate.
Daily cleaning and disinfecting
are essential to reduce the risk of
complications.
What types of solutions are
best for disposable lenses?
In theory, most soft lens care
systems on the market today can
be used with disposable lenses.
However, most patients
wearing disposable lerses are
attracted to them by the promise
of simplicity in their wear and
care.
Patients who have been
promised simplicity often find
complicated systems just too
cumbersome.
Most eye care practitioners
recommend new generation cold
chemical systems for the daily
care of disposable leases.

every one or two weeks, most
patients do not use weekly
enzyme tablets.
The lenses are discarded
before heavy protein deposits
have a chance to build up.
Why is a solution
recommended for disposable
lens wearers?
When recommending a care
regimen, there are two things
that are crucial.
First, the system must be
effective.
Second is whether or not the
patient will use the system as
directed.
Since all care systems on the
market must undergo the same
rigorous tests to obtain FDA
approval, it is a given that all
systems are effective.
However, not all promote
patient compliance.

Getting involved in your child's education
There are many people
involved in your child's
education. You as a parent or
guardian are a big part of it.
Here are some suggestions
for parents and guardians who
want to make sure they're clued
in.
• Talk to your kids about
school. Do then like school?
Do they get along with other
kids? What subjects do they like
best?
• Feel free to contact the
teacher or principal at any time
in the school year.
If you have questions about
textbooks, field trips or concerns
about programs, give the
teat^e" or the principal a call.
• Attend parent/teacher
meetings.
Students spend most of their
day in school and the teacher
can provide unique insights into
how your child interacts with
others; how she or he is
progressing. Ask lots of
questions.
• Ge* i^vo ved :n �%r home
and school association. They
are plugged into the school and
can shed some light on current
school related issues. Attending
meetings may also help you get
to know teachers and other
parents.
• Scan your child's
homework.

Your local school board is
responsible for ensuring students

So, the board hires teachers
and other staff; makes sure
there are enough schools and
that they are adequately
equipped; and determines an
annual budget.
The top administrative official
on the board is the Director of
Education. But, teachers and
school principals are the people
most familiar to parents and
students.
Parents, guardians or students
who have questions or concerns
about the school system should
feel free to contact their local
trustee for help.

An Acura test drive reveals the quality
hen William Lau made the
decision to move his family
» to Canada from Hong
Kong nine years ago, he
came because he had faith in the
country, our values and our quality
of life.
That faith is still undiminished,
even though the country now
struggles through the trials and
tribulations of constitutional reform
and a recession.
"I believe Canada is unmatched in
the world," the auto dealer from
Ajax comments in his offices at
Pacific Acura at Westney and
Bayly.
Ile believes the same thing about
the product he offers: the four
luxury models produced by Acura
of Japan. He bought the Acura
dealership in Ajax four years ago
after studying the values and
qualities of car makers.
The Acura name was launched in
Canada in 1987 after the company
pioneered the luxury car market in
Japan. As someone involved with
the advertising business both in
Ilong Kong and Canada, William
was in a unique position to watch
the rise of the company and its
worldwide takeover of market
share.
That vantage point, and driving
his own Acura Legend sedan,
convinced him of the qualities and
the value of the product.
When the franchise became
available in Ajax, he jumped at it.
Since moving into Ajax, he has
gained 1,000 satisfied customers,
most of them from Durham Region.
The Legend is the luxury sedan of
the Acura family. This model line
also includes the NSX sportscar, the
top-selling Integra and the Vigour.
The Legend sedan offers the full
range of upscale car features:
heated seats, leather trimmed
interior, driver and passenger
airbag protection, air conditioning
and climate control, power -
operated sunroof with sliding
shade, pre -wiring for cellular
telephone and anti -theft security
features.
But the real value and quality of
the car only become clear when you
drive it, he says.
The company has won five
consecutive Constructor's %'orld
Championships and five consecutive
Driver's World Championships in
Formula One racing.
This gives Acura not just a
Formula One title, but the

technology that goes with it — a
technology that's obvious when you
handle the car during a test drive.
These are tough days in many
aspects of the country's economy.
But just as William Lau is confident
that the country he chose will come
through, he's confident that the
values and quality of the company
he chose — Acura'— will also come
through.
"The quality comes through in the
driving," he promises.
There's even one benefit that the
downturn in economy brings to
Acura sales — the finance terms
and interest rate have never been
better.
You can test drive an Acura today
by visiting Pacific Acura at Westnev
and Bayly, or by telephoning 428-

There's good news in Pickering these days.
Firstly, popular Mayor Wayne Arthurs was back in the chair the
other day at the regular Pickering council meeting. Having worked
with Wayne for one term at region council and on region finance, l
sincerely hope, like so many other people, that he will be back in the
chair for the balance of his term.
He brings a special quality, and integrity to the position!
Further good news for Pickering is that the council has gone to
tender for the second ice pad at the Pickering Recreation Complex.
The twinning of the ice pads, much like Ajax has done, will be a
real boon to help cover the shortage of ice time in both Pickering
and Ajax.
In addition, the awarding of the contract down the road in a
couple of months should be a real plus for our labor force which
desperately needs the jobs.

The Ajax Family Festival is fast approaching at the Ajax

September is just around the corner. Waste Reduction Week is
Sept. 27 to Oct. 4 in both Ajax and Pickering.
Both municipal councils are actively promoting the 6 -day event
with Lorraine Ralston (420-5625) in Pickering leading the way and
Angela Bober (428-1751) and myself (683-1968) having the
opportunity to "co-chair" the event in Ajax.
Commencing Sept. 27, the Monday will be Reduction Day,
Tuesday — Composting Day, Wednesday — Zero Garbage Day,
Thursday — Conservation Day, Friday — Re -use Day, and Saturday
— Community Clean-up Day!
Thanks goes to Ajax Councillor Scott Crawfords efforts to make
this project a success!
Bigotry and the Space Age (s)
No hate in Zoroastrian faith
• From Page 6
Scripture are:
To sew patch upon patch is better than begging clothes from
the rich.
Do not give way to anger, for when man submits to anger, he
forgets duty and forgets deeds.
Do not become presumptuous because of family or race
heritage, for in the end, your treasure will depend only on your
good deeds.
The greatest of all deeds is to be grateful in the world and to
desire happiness for everyone.
No abortion
Zoroaster warns against and condemns abortion as follows: If a
man come near unto a damsel, either dependent on the chief of
the family or not dependent, either delivered unto a husband or
not delivered, and she conceives by him, let her not ... destroy the
fruit in her womb. And if the damsel, being ashamed of the
people, shall destroy the fruit of her womb, the sin is on both the
father and herself, the murder is on both the father and herself,
both the father and herself shall pay the penalty for wilful
murder. (The Verdx3ad, Ch. XV, 1-2).
Woolson in her book says of Zoroastrianism: Truthfulness,
rectitude, chastity, obedience to one's parents, hospitality,
devotion to duty, and compassion to animals are virtues which
are especially enjoined. Charity is an essential part of this
religion, but an intelligent charity toward those who are worthy of
it. One should avoid hypocrisy, greed, negligence, frivolity,
violence, ostentation and insolence.
Zoroaster prophesied that in the distant future the Spirit of
God would manifest again in a Messiah who would appear in
Persia, the country where Zoroaster Himself was born and who
would be a descendent of the Persian royal families. He referred
to him as the promised 'Shah Bahram; The Promised Lord,
Savior of the world, the Great Peaee Maker, who would be of
Zoroastrian descent and in whose era good would triumph over
evil, darkness would be dispelled and a culminating epoch of the
reign of light, beatitude and natonciliotion would corns
Sairim C41�ltlg ,
.He said this Savior would arise to unite all peoples and to
renew the world', wda Wboison.
_When these spir*W and eternal features of the Zoroastrian Faith
are considered, and when (as We said at the beginning of this serW
the local and temporary is ignored, there is nothing in this relgim of
the Middle East and Asia which quarrels with bekb Wii * held here
today in southwestern Durham Region — as Well as throughout
mankind. There is nothing spiritual or ternal in Zoastrianism
which quarrels with that of the other religions we have boked at
4ludaism and Hindtiism).
So this Faith should be no reason for quarrels, hatred, bigotry or
violence among people. Thus far in this series, then, no essenU
ref>gion-based reason far bigotry is discovered.
In the next column of this series, Buddhism will be examined.
