Having moved to Guelph six months ago, she now says the respiratory ailments which plagued her two boys have vanished. "It‘s astounding. Within two days of being here there has been no coughing, no wheezing, no nothing," she said. According to Matsumoto, her eldest boy, Jon age nine, develâ€" oped "severe respiratory problems and allergies" and blamed the refinery. Visiting the doctor two or three times a month was commonâ€" place. When Benjamin, 5, began developing allergies as well, their parents decided to move and headâ€" ed off to Guelph last November. "Since leaving Oakville, neiâ€" ther of my children have had to see a doctor," Matsumoto stated. "Neither of my children have experienced difficulty with breathâ€" ing, running noses, watery eyes. Neither of my children have had to take time off school." Asked about Matsumoto‘s claims, Petroâ€"Canada spokesman John Hunt said there was nothing concrete for him to make a stateâ€" ment about. "It is difficult for me to say anything on someone‘s opinion," said Hunt. "There is nothing I can comment on." Matsumoto, of course, does have her critics who point fingers at pollen, stress, the family‘s proximity to the QEW and even her smoking habits as possible causes of her sons‘ misery. She argues that the pollen season is well upon us, Jon has weathered the strain of starting a new school and that they now live near Highway 6. She also still smokes outside just as she did here. Despite the obvious delight she takes in her children‘s newfound health, Matsumoto expressed regret in not being able to stay in Oakville.

"I would have liked to have moved Oakville‘s air pollution rather than ourselves, but we are all well and that‘s what counts," she said. In her absence, Matsumoto urged those who remain here to seek solutions to the problem. "All I want to say to Oakville is I love Oakville â€" please don‘t ruin it," she said. "There is a way to work with industry and people. They have got to get together and work together." As for the future, Matsumoto leaves the door wide open. "Maybe in 10 years I can move back," she said. The Oakville Museum will hold its next Walking Tour of Old Oakville on Sun. July 17th. Leading the tour is Dick Marshall.
