; 4 THE OAKVILLE BEAVER Friday October 13, 2000 Journalist Wendy Burton seeks Ward 3 Halton School Board seat Wendy Burton - journal ist, activist and co-creator of YTV - has entered the race for the Ward 3 Halton District School Board seat. Burton, a married mother of three and a Harvard grad uate, says she understands the value of a good educa tion and wants to help Halton students and schools attain their potential. Burton began her career as a journalist with The Sudbury Star and The Ottawa Citizen, where she was education reporter for many years. She was a founding director and first woman president o f the Centre for Investigative Journalism (now the Canadian Association of Journalists). Burton and her husband Rob ran a television produc tion company specializing in children's programming, then created the children's cable TV network, YTV. Before moving to Oakville, Burton organized a city-wide Toronto parents' conference on education where she authored a resolu tion leading to the creation of a standing committee on parent involvement at that board. She also wrote a man ual for the Toronto board on promoting parental involve ment in schools. Burton served on the Oakville-Trafalgar High School Council for four years, has been a member of the Town's Parks, Recreation and Culture Advisory Committee for three years, has been a Linbrook Public School volunteer and is a hockey mom. Burton is also editor and publisher of the forthcoming "Our Oakville: A Community's Self Portrait," a commemorative millenni um book with proceeds going to the Com m unity Foundation of Oakville.

Susan Venter, 42, took the second prize of $110,760.33 and couldn't be more thrilled about the win. A counsellor for the mentally challenged, Venter has been playing Lotto 6/49 for 12 years and until her big win, had only managed a $300 payday. "When I looked at the prize amount I thought I'd won $11,000," said Venter. "I overlooked a zero, that extra zero made all the difference. I still can't believe it." The winning ticket was purchased at Heritage Com er in Oakville As for the money? Venter said she'll invest it.
