B4 - The Oakville Beaver, Wednesday May 22, 2002 Air cadet takes speech to nationals, another earns his `wings' Jenny Gross loves to talk. Public speaking is one of her fortes. She won the Halton Public Speaking Championship when she was in Grade 7, and she's been talking ever since. Recently, she talked her way to the championship at the squadron level, won the Zone I competition held among air cadet squadrons in the Golden Horseshoe, and won the provincials. Jenny, 17, who joined the 540 Golden Hawks Air Cadet Squadron last fall, will present her speech about the history of the 540 Golden Hawk Air Cadet Squadron at the national competition to be held in Niagara Falls on June 15. Her other forte is music. "I was in five bands at the beginning of the year and now am in three." The Grade 11 Oakville Trafalgar High School student is lead trumpet in the 540 Golden Hawks Air Cadets band, and plays in her high school jazz band that recently won a gold award. "I joined air cadets last September because most of my friends are in it," said Jenny. "I'm interested in flying and the military aspect. I'm interested in becom ing a part time pilot perhaps, and am cur rently working to earn my glider wings. "I think air cadets will be a good expe rience for me because I would like to get my pilot's licence privately," she con cluded, lamenting she joined the squadron too late - she could have joined a few years ago - to earn her pilot's licence through ttje organization. If she does obtain her pilot's licence privately, she will be following in the footsteps of colleague Charles Copeland, also 17. He joined air cadets five years to Colorado and Wyoming this summer, and has been nominated for the James Snyder Award presented by the Air Cadet League of Canada. He has earned a Duke of Edinburgh Silver Medal, and is finishing the require ments for gold. Having already met the requirements for physical activity and skill (music), he plans to hike the Bruce Trail this summer to complete the journey requirement for this award. Charles, a Grade 12 White Oaks Secondary School student, plays trom bone in the school jazz band. The 540 Golden Hawk Squadron, will hold its annual Review on Sunday May 26, at the Oakville Arena at Rebecca and Kerr Streets from 2 - 3 p.m. The public is invited to attend. Jenny Gross James Copeland Announcing t PharmaPlus Our sale date is now starting Effective May 24, 2002 ago upon his father's urging, and has not regretted the drill and the training. He received a glider pilot scholarship in the summer of 2000 and obtained his pilot's licence at Burlington Air Park from Spectrum Airways a month ago. He has been accepted to participate in an exchange program that will take him Social activities important For the intellectually chal lenged, the gains toward full integration within society have been enormous. But inclusion requires social activities geared for special needs. Community Living Oakville offers a variety of programs in conjunction with other community partners. Every Wednesday and Thursday afternoon, Hopedale Mall Bowling Alley is alive with laughter. This program would not be possible without the determi nation of many volunteers through Special Olympics. Evelyn Howald and Karla Peterson have been dedicated volunteers for over 15 years to this program. Without wonderful people such as these two, the joy and laugh ter would be missed by many. Organizing the teams, record ing the scores, hosting the banquet and awarding the tro phy, brings joy to both the volunteer and special needs bowler. In September, CLO hosts a family picnic in Bronte Conservation Centre attended by families and those receiv ing support. Games of base ball bring out the competitive spirit. Horseshoe games, ring toss, and ball throwing con tests challenge everyone. The day is topped off with a mega barbeque with burgers and hot dogs. At the end of the day about 100 people go back to their homes, happy from a fun day in the sun. But the highlight of social activities is the dances. Valentine's dance this year was hosted at Le Dome for the first time. This was possi ble only through the generos ity of Le Dome which donat ed the room. A committee supplied the food, which included fancy sandwiches and elegant desserts. It was a fantastic success. Magic is in the air during the Christmas Dance. Shannon Coles and Tina Christie, two dedicated staff members organize a night to remember. For many years, CAW Local 707 generously offered the use of the Galaxy 707 hall. Volunteers decorate the hall, set tables and organ ize the banquet. Everyone dresses to the nines. The room and board is paid. The cost would be significantly higher if it was not for the on going generosity of Mr. and Mrs. William Watson who donate a significant amount to help make the Christmas Dance affordable and accessi ble. But the sacrifice necessary to pay for the dance ticket is well worth the effort. Magic really begins when the music starts. Never has there been more enthusiasm to get to a dance floor and everyone par ticipates. By the time 1 a.m. comes around, the clean-up commit tee headed by Kelly Hoyle is busy cleaning and sweeping, putting everything back in order. The Christmas dance is an experience that makes a lasting memory. Social activities are neces sary for a full and happy life. Without the generosity of the CAW Local 707, Le Dome and the fantastic volunteers hosting the bowling through Special Olympics, these events would not be possible. Thank you for making happiness for special people.
