Moore counters by saying that 2,4â€" D is not used by Toronto, Mississauga or Burlington and that all employ "significantly less pesticides than Oakville due to their positive results from Integrated Pest Management programs." "The Oakville Pesticide Action Group believes that the health risks of chemicals, 2,4â€"D in particular, outweigh the benefits," says Moore. This latest round of debate got rolling when Perkins gave PAG a draft report outlining his departâ€" ment‘s plans for its annual, standard spraying program. In it was a list of Throughout it all, the twins have been a source of comfort to her. Rather, her son had been a deterâ€" mined, competitive young man who worked hard to achieve his goals, guided by his knowledge of right and wrong. "Look to him as a role model, not a hero," she said. "Any of you can do "Most of the strength comes from Krystal and Debra," she said. "They don‘t let anything bother them." Nor did it bother the two Archer girls to meet Terry Fox‘s mother, Betty.

The qualities that made him a winâ€" ner were evident when, at 18, he tried out for the 1977 basketball team at Simon Fraser University in B.C. Although told he wasn‘t good enough; he made the team, "perhaps because of the determination he showed," she said. In the next year, Terry developed a pain in his right knee but said nothing for a long time. By the time bone canâ€" cer was diagnosed, it was too late to save the leg.

This report, which was to have been presented last night to the Community Services Committee, was pulled from the agenda. Perkins â€" who said he is currently gathering more information â€" anticipates it will be before Council early this summer. Public sentiment on the matter is far from overwhelming, however. According to Perkins, the Town received only seven calls about spraying last year â€" four in favor of reducing the program, three to increase it. During the past few weeks the number has increased, due in large part to the activities of PAG. Most phone calls centre on two issues, explained Perkins. First is aesthetics, usually about the prolifâ€" eration dandelions. Second is the safety of sports fields. Although he was determined THE OAKVILLE BEAVER surgery and chemotherapy wasn‘t going to ruin his life, Terry took the loss of his hair harder than the loss of his leg, said his mother. His hair evenâ€" tually grew back in, thicker and curlier than before. His medical problem he met by going into training, running a little each day. At the same time, Terry found out more about the cancer that had attacked him. Besides remembering the pain and suffering of other victims in his cancer ward, he discovered canâ€" cer research was poorly funded. After hearing about an amputee who ran in a New York marathon, an idea was born. Why shouldn‘t he run across Canada to raise money for cancer research? Before he died in June, 1981, Terry had established guidelines for annual runs in his name. He then began the long trek from St. John‘s, Nfld. on April 12, 1980, that ended in Thunder Bay, Ontario when recurring medical problems forced him to stop. In 143 days, Terry had covered 3,339 miles, averaging 26 miles a day through all kinds of weather. Sunningdale School and the Archer girls have kept Terry‘s memoâ€" ry alive. For the past five years, the school has raised $22,099 from its annual runs. Debra and Krystal‘s sigâ€" nificant contribution came to $700 in pledges last year and $426 this year.
