Monday night's televised debate in Bowmanville, though civil, was somewhat flat. No doubt the absence of the candidate for the official opposition party took the heat out of the local debate. I have never met the man, and I probably should have called his office to see why he planned not to participate in the local debate. However, I believe that if he was serious about his candidacy, barring an emergency, he should have involved himself in the debate. Though the ailing national health care system is receiving much national attention, it was hardly mentioned at the debate. The health care system is beginning to unravel due to issues of funding. This at a time when the country is enjoying enjoying a period of economic growth and prosperity,and while the government is sitting on a huge budgetary surplus. During the course of the evening, Shepherd took credit for his government's initiative to link rural communities across the county to the information highway, via internet link-ups at schools and libraries.

Correction Last week's front page story .recording the Municipal election stated Mary Novak received ,3,800 more votes than John Mutton in Ward 1. That number was incorrect. It should have been reported that Mary Novak was ahead in Ward 1 by 600 votes. We regret the error.

The mother was transported by ambulance ambulance to Bowmanville hospital, hospital, where she was released a few hours later. "I sympathize with their plight," stated Bowles, "but it is not my position to questiôn the validity of the order, my job is to enforce the court order." An hour later, with nothing nothing but a few items of clothing, clothing, and a plastic bag containing containing documents in the trunk of their white Cadillac, the rest of the family drove off their property, their home for the past 21 years. Mr. Emedi claims he and his two sons are now sleeping in the car. "They forced us out of our own home, just like terrorists," terrorists," exclaimed Mr. Emedi. In 1998 TRT Sand and Gravel purchased the 420 acres of land on which the family home is' situated, from the Sheriff's Department for $525,000. Acting on an Order to Vacate, issued in November 1999, the Sheriff came to the Emedi home on December 1st, and asked the family to leave. The Em'edis refused.
