T You might say Alison Meinert is the ultim ate "soccer mom" . This is a woman whose passion for the sport didn't stop with hundreds o f hours of volunteering, coaching and managing. In fact, she's turned her passion into a retail venture which has proven a big hit with soccer players and fans throughout Oakville and beyond. Soccer World , a unique, soccer-only store on Cross Avenue, opened its doors this past spring and already Meihert is talking about the need for expansion. Oakville, as Meinert is quick to point out, boasts the largest per capita soccer community of any city in North America. That has made it a perfect fit for Soccer World which is committed to providing the soccer player, coach, ref or fan with all their needs from brand name equipment and clothing to fun gift items and everything in between. Not only is the store unique in focussing on a single sport, it also breaks from the norm in having a female owner. Meinert admits she was quite aston ished at the resistance she met when trying to get the store off the ground. M any m anufacturers didn't know whether to take her seriously, even with her extensive soccer knowledge. It didn't take long, however, for sales figures to show that she knew exactly what she was doing. "I think it's service that sets me apart," she says. "I try my best to match the equipment with the player. Not everyone needs the top of the line. " Prior to opening the store, Meinert says she often felt frustrated at having to travel distances to get the equipment her son needed. This lack of availabili ty was compounded if equipment had to be replaced mid-season when most sport stores were low on stock. For that reason, Meihert says she always tries to keep plenty o f stock on hand year round. In addition to providing the nuts and bolts equipm ent, the clothing and accessories, Meinert says she wants her store to be seen as good source of com munity soccer information. Her many years o f work with the Oakville Soccer Club has made her knowledgeable about what teams are available and where to go to sign up. Soccer World is located at 187 Cross Avenue, across from the GO Station. Hours are Monday and Wednesday, 11 to 6, Thursday, 11 to 8, Saturday 10 to 5 and Sunday 12 to 5, closed Tuesdays. Zenon in $4-million contract with Tennessee RON ROUSSEAUX Financial-Tax-Estate-Retirement Planner Voted Best Financial Planner TOPIC: INTEREST RATES We have just turned the clock back some 40 years. Interest rates are now as low as they were in the 50's and 60's. Great news for those taking on a mortgage or renewing a mortgage. Bad news for those who have always used Bonds or GIC's to provide an income flow. This seminar has only one topic and that is a real and viable alternative to low paying Bonds or GIC's and at the same time lowering your taxes and or reducing clawbacks. For seniors or those looking after seniors possibly increasing Government Grants or subsidies. I am referring to THE CLARINGTON CANADIAN INCOME FUND and THE CLARINGTON GLOBAL INCOME FUND, both of these funds provide an Income Flow of 9.6% per year. Managed by one of Canada's largest and best money managers SEAMARK ASSET MANAGEMENT LTD. Z E N O N E nvironm ental Inc. has been awarded a $4 million contract by the Duck River Utility Commission (DRUC) in Tennessee to provide drinking water to its customers. The utility is installing a ZeeWeed®1000 membrane that to convert its existing water treatment plant. The system can also be expand ed into a high-efficiency ultrafiltration facility. Construction of the new 14 million gallon-per-day plant is set to begin in the spring of 2002 with completion set for 2003. "The lower energy consum ption was a significant factor in the final decision to choose a membrane suppli er," said Randall Baker, general man ager of the DRUC. "In looking at upgrading and simultaneously expand ing our existing facility, we conducted an extensive evaluation of a number of membrane products...but the lower energy consumption was a significant factor in our final decision." ZENON Chairm an and CEO Andrew Benedek, said he was excited to see the speed o f commercialization of the Zee Weed 1000 and expects it to continue.

Topics: >- Income Funds - are they all the same? > Why a 9.6% per annum payout? »· Return of capital - good or bad? > Do disruptions impact O.A.S. or clawbacks? > Does this type of income reduce overall taxes? > If I borrow to invest in the income fund can I deduct the interest payments? > What would happen to the distributions of these funds if we enter a period like the 1970's? > Lots of other questions including some other alternatives to GIC's or bonds?
