      Back home in Timmins with Canada's only first-place gold medal from the Winter Olympics, skier Kathy Kreiner is applauded by her father, Dr. Harold Kreiner (right), and 1,000 other people in the Community Sportsplex. About 200 well-wishers greeted her at the tiny Timmins airport, others lined the seven-mile road into town. Kathy surprised the ski world by winning the women's giant slalom.
