www.oakvillebeaver.com The Oakville Beaver, Wednesday July 11, 2007 - 25 Game 2 letdown was series' turning point FINE FURNITURE ON CONSIGNMENT Continued from page 24 slide," he said. "We tried to make corrections and make the guys realize it was another level, but until you go through it you don't really understand it as much." Gillies pointed to the third period of Game 2, when Oakville held a 7-6 lead and was poised to even the series 1-1, as the defining moment of the series. Halton Hills struck for four unanswered markers in the final frame to claim a 10-7 win and put the Buzz on the ropes. "We only had about a five- or six-minute letdown, and they turned the tables pretty quick," Gillies said. "That sort of sealed our fate. I think it will come down to (Halton Hills) and the Green Gaels in the East final." Reggie Traccitto scored twice for the Buzz in Friday's clincher, with Braden Gallant and Harry Hristopoulos adding singles. Ryan Abu-Ali (two), Spencer Taugher, Dylan Gilbert and Gallant earned helpers. Greg Henry paced the Bulldogs with a hat trick, two of those goals coming in the second period as Halton Hills outscored the Buzz 5-1 to take control of the game. -- Jon Kuiperij BUYER or a SELLER?

Oakville 905 815 1949 www.tradingplacescanada.com Hinchcliffe bumped out of Champ Car Atlantic race Oakville racer James Hinchcliffe had both a promising start and a frustrating finish to the eighth round of the Champ Car Atlantic Championship series, held last weekend in Toronto. Hinchcliffe was third-fastest in Friday's qualifying session, then secured his seventh top-five start of the year with another strong outing in Saturday qualifying. However, that was all for naught as the 20-year-old Oakville Trafalgar High School graduate was bumped from behind during a caution lap early in Sunday's race. Hinchcliffe's Sierra Sierra crew attempted to repair his car in the pits, but eventually the call was made to retire from the race. "We were running under caution and Kevin (Lacroix) decided to come in a little hot," said Hinchcliffe. "It was a bit of a rookie mistake, but that's racing -- what can you do!"

Kroll notes that approximately 80,000 people in Canada sought bankruptcy protection in 2006. Readily available credit promotes a sense of entitlement. People ask, not what can I afford but what can I borrow. Heed the Signs Pay attention to warning signs. If you have knots in your stomach, chances are your worries are justified. Other signals include not clearing your full credit-card balances regularly, paying minimum monthly balances only, and using one credit card to pay another. Use Available Resources Do research. Resources are available to help you set up a household budget. A few dollars can add up, so attempt to pay off higher interest cards first. Consider arranging a consolidation loan or lower-interest line of credit with your financial institution, to combine your debts into one monthly payment. Just remember to cut up your credit cards that were consolidated because a consolidation loan can quickly snowball into even more debt. Still in Trouble? The sooner you seek professional guidance, the more options you will have. What may appear to be a solution is often inappropriate and may, in fact, make the situation worse. - News Canada SALE Friday, July 13 Entire in-store stock!
