Durham East You can fax your letters to the editor (905) 985-7383 To the Editor: ship. sanna Turner. I am hoping some of your readers might be able to help me in my attempts to collect infor- mation on the Boynton family of Reach Town- William and Frances Boynton emigrated to Reach Township between 1834-1844 from Stil- lington, Yorkshire, England. They brought their young family of six sons with them. Wil- liam married Mary Ann Mark; John married Maria Hicks; Bartholomew married Lydia Hodgson; Edward married ?, Robert married Margaret Rumney; and Thomas married Su- Looking for Boynton family info information as possible on any of the above fam- ilies. In 1871 Robert was farming Lot 17, Con. 4 of Reach and his mother Frances, age 82, was living with him and his family. I would be delighted to hear from any descen- dant of William and Frances Boynton. (They are buried in Pine Grove Cemetery). I wish to obtain this information and names and dates of family members to hopefully com- pile a small history book of this family. My ancestors are William and his wife Mary Ann, but I am interested in collecting as much Mrs. Joan Facey (nee Boynton), Yours truly, R.R.4, St. Marys, N4X 1C7, Ontario by Jeff Mitchell MONICA SHOWS TRUE GRIT TRIUMPHANT RETURN: It was impressive indeed during the course of the last week to observe the triumphant return of Monica Seles to the world tennis scene. Monica was in Toronto for the Canadian Open, her first major competitive appearance in two and a half years. She was the victim of some meatball who, crazed over her apparent surpassing of Stefi Graffe, attempted to take her out of the picture by plunging a sharp boning knife into her back as she took a breather during a match. The years since have been a nightmare, as she revealed in an in-depth article recently in sports lllustrated. constantly haunted by the stabbing, she at one time doubted ever returning to the high-profile, high- pressure world of competitive tennis she had come to so handily dominate. And now here she is, hands-down winner of the Canadian Open. Some analysts have hinted that her win is not so much a testament to her talent and courage as it is an indictment of womens' tennis; if Seles can, after more than two years on the sidelines, return abruptly and so easily handle all competition presented her, what's that say about the development of the sport in her absence? That's a valid question. But it shouldn't detract from the real story, which is one of true grit and determination. All Hail Monica. Long live the Queen. MEGA-MONSTER-METROPOLIS: How about those crazy councillors down in Metro, who last week cooked up a scheme to absorb all the regional governments surrounding the Big Smoke and make one meg-monster- municipality? Ruled by some 27 councillors, each of whom would have roughly 100,000 constituents, the new level of government would be responsible for all the infrastructure and service requirements of the GTA, home to millions of souls. : Oof. or regional councillor as it is, with the phone ringing at all hours and irate citizens sounding off about this and that. How would you like to be personally responsible to 100,000 irate citizens? That's far more than the average MPP has to keep track of; we're talking about more people than currently live in Saskatchewan. More proof Metro politicians truly do see themselves as Masters of the Universe. EA lS rl, PL tbl Everybody knows it's complicated enough being a local The first night | was here I was home sick.
