'5. '.l MacLean has chosen to do her English at night school and her Algebra as a ‘self-rcliant student’ based at General Wolfe High School, so that she can generate some funds for University by working at the Keg and in the kitchen at Oakvilleâ€" Trafalgar Memorial Hospital. It’s a packed schedule but, “It keeps me out of trouble,” she admit- ted and observed, “It costs a lot to go to Univexsity. I don’t want my parents always bailing me out.” While Madman enjoys soccer, she makes no claim to great proficiency. “I just go out and have fun,” she explained (Hm, a novel approach to sport). After failing to make the cut for the school volleyball team in Grade 9, she decided to apply her competitive spirit to her studies. Andrea, also, finds time to shovel the driveway for an elderly woman in the neighborhood as part of her Halton Helping Hands commitment. Academically, she has proven to be a solid performer with particular strength in the maths and sciences. Her current average is 88%, she says, with English and Algebra still to com- plete. “She’s a nice lady and really appreciates the help,” the teenager said and reiterated, “I do things I like to do. I never expect to be recognized for my community work.” Of her experiences as a candy- striper at the hospital which she began Fraud charges laid in sale of Jeep A 24-year-old Oakville man is facing a charge of fraud over $1,000 in connection to the resale of a Jeep at which time the vendor illegally charged tire tax, a warranty transfer fee and provincial sales tax to the unsuspecting buyer.

Police said the woman buying the Jeep was informed the vehicle was free and clear of all liens.

We would plan special things like binhday parties for patients, or staff, and we got friendly with some patients who were there for a long time. I liked the old folks “Oh, the odd one was cranky,” she continued, “didn’t want to be there and didn’t want any help, but most of them really appreciated the little things and that felt good.” Andrea was born in Montreal and raised in Otterbum Park, a small com- munity outside of the metropolis. Her childhood memories are idyllic. “It was a small town and we‘felt safe,” she Iecalled. “We could walk to the pool. In the backyard, theme was an apple orchard and lots of snow in the winters.” She went to a French school there and many of her friends were French- speaking which made her a natural for the French immersion program'at QEP when the family moved here to Oakville seven years ago. Andrea is fluently bilingual, although she admit- ted it’s not easy when you don’t speak the language regularly. A couple of school trips back to Quebec during her high school years were highlights and helpful in staying fluent. Now there is a young woman from France on staff at the Keg with her. They converse “en franeais” of course. In high school, she has excelled in physics, chemistry, and math, and also taken an interest in Art History. Indeed, she was hoping to take some time off this summer for a trip to Europe to view some of the classical art of Italy and France. It appears now, that excursion may have to wait. MacLean said candidly, “I didn’t have great success in English in the lower gradw at high school, but last year I enjoyed it more and did bet- The reason? “I think it was the teachen'l‘hcyseemtosavemebetta teachers for the higher grades.” She added quickly, “Not that the teachers are not good jg: the bye!- gradw, but they don’t have the same passion or flare.” Her plans for the future are flexiâ€" ble. The Oakville student has applied for the coop program in Earth Sciences at Waterloo, but her career plans are anything but firm. “I don’t really have a clue what I want to get into, so fortunately the first year is quite general. If I don’t enjoy the course, I can transfer pretty easily.” “Ideally," she said, “I’d like to be working in the area of environmental protection.” Eventually, she said thoughtfully, she would like to have a family of her own though at the moment it is rather hand to visualize. In the university coop program which laces academic terms with ‘work placement’ terms, Macbean is hoping to get a better look at ‘what is out there’ as far as career opportuni- ties are concerned.

And she is a natural optimist. “I like to think our generation will turn things aroun ” she said and then smiled. “But I guess every generation thinks that; that they will do things a little better.” “I can’t quite see spending all those years at university and upwards of $40,000 just to give it all up when children come along,” the young Of course, she knows there is a whole world of bigger issues, like President Subject.- E-File Midterm From: Diversified Tax Investments Prepared . by: Lou Odorico, Vice I have to admit, ihaf when Revenue Canada mnomced they were brhging electronic filing hro Ontaio with The clam ihai ihe average procesdng iime for a personal tax reium wodd be 10 fo 14 days.lwasabifskepflcal. lhavebeenpieasmflywrprisedwiihfhe speed, ease and efficiency of ihe E-Hie system. h‘seems for the most part fhai Revenue Canada has lived up to it’s promise of providing speedy reand cheques. inaddflon, anyinquiries wehavemade To iheE-Fieheipdeskh Sudpuryhavebeenhandedwflhspeedandefficiency.
