McCusker · Oakville Beaver Students shine in debating championship First andfourth place finishesfor White Oaks delight teacher By Craig MacBride OAKVILLE BEAVER STAFF G oing to the N ational D ebating Cham pionship in Calgary last w eek. W hite Oaks Secondary School stu dents R ebecca A bavi and Emily Vandelaar were hoping to end up in the top half o f the field o f 40 teams. So, when they finished in fourth place, both young w om en w ere pleased with themselves. W hen it was announced, however, that Abavi, a Grade 11 student, had come in first place in individual debating, it was nearly unbelievable. "I w as really, really shocked," she said. As was her coach, White Oaks English teacher Hamish G uthrie, w hen A bavi and Vandelaar called him at 11 p.m. "We just thought w e'd let the m achine get it," said Guthrie, recalling that he and his wife, Terry, were watching a taped television show at the time. "Then five minutes later it rang again, we thought it was bad news in the family, so I answered it." On the other end o f line was Vandelaar, asking Guthrie to guess what place they came in. Not wanting to make the girls feel bad if they did poor ly, he guessed middle o f the pack, to which Vandelaar said "higher." "O h good for you guys, you were in the top half," Guthrie said. "H igher," Vandelaar responded, continuing the game until they got to the top five. Guthrie was floored. And then Abavi was given the phone and told Guthrie her news. "I really wondered if I was sane, sober and aw ake," Guthrie said. `T erry and I danced around the living room. "It's one o f those things you alw ays dream about. Every coach wonders, will I ever coach a national champi on," he said. Up against the best debaters in the private and public school systems across the country, they didn't expect such success, especially since Abavi and Vandelaar had only debated together on two previ ous occasions. The pairing obviously worked out well, though. "We both have different styles," said Abavi. "We raise different arguments." A ccording to the judges, their individual styles worked well together, getting them through the four sets o f debates on Saturday, into the quarterfinals and then the semi-finals on Sunday, before being knocked out by the team from Quebec that went on to place first overall. A bavi's first-place individ ual effort was a result o f her personal marks through the six debates she took part in adding up to more points than anyone else at the competi tion. She gives a lot o f credit to Guthrie. "H e's coached me for a few years," said Abavi, "and he's put a lot o f effort into me personally." A lso a m em ber o f the M ississauga Canoe C lub, practicing daily there, Abavi had thought about dropping debating from her extra-curricular activities. G uthrie, however, found a way to keep her on the team. "I'm glad he did," said Abavi. "It's a pretty good extra-curricular activity to have behind you. It gives you the ability to dissect what other people are saying to you." Abavi apparently has a gift for that. Attending a regional tournam ent shortly after returning from Calgary, Abavi again claimed top spot. Rania Saghir, also a W hite Oaks stu dent under G uthrie's tutelage, placed third. presents....
