In fact, Darcy Rowe was attending his first set of HOBY seminars and Karen Samis was participating in her third set. For Darcy, the seminar provided a boost in confidence confidence and the knowledge of how to think better. One of the business leaders leaders in attendance at the weekend conducted a seminar seminar entitled: "If It Is To Be, It Is Up To Me."

One of the examples given given during the lecture is:. What is one-half of 12? Most people would immediately say six. Others would say one or two, Darcy said. It is, as Darcy said, six of one and one-half dozen of another. Throughout the series of seminars, Darcy said, one of the things he noticed was the lack of disruption by the students. Everyone was interested. interested. "I was totally focused on what they had to say to us," recalled Darcy. He added that he has be come more aware of what he can do when he makes his own choices. "I am more aware of what I can do instead of following other people." However, Darcy does not appear to be the following type.

Each couple appeared to be at a turning point in their lives and in the relationship with the other person who made up the couple. For the father and his son, the turning point occurred occurred when, in a fit of anger, anger, Vince (played by John Amesbury) tore the shirt Mark (played by Johnathan Goad) wanted to wear to meet an official with Harvard. Harvard. Vince wanted Mark to wear a shirt and tie he had picked out for his son. His son disagreed with that choice and an argument ensued. ensued. Adding more fuel to the fire, Vince kept saying that his wife had something to do with Mark wanting to take one year off between school and university. The audience seemed to identify with the characters as they laughed or became quiet, depending on the mood of the play. There was always something something happening on stage or off stage. Parts of the script resembled those small vil lages which you can miss if you blink at the wrong time. Similarly, the audience could occasionally miss some of the things happening in the play because lines or fragments could not be made-up later. The set consisted of a hotel hotel room which had two double double beds, a closet, a balcony, two tables, three telephones, and a television set. It was a typical motor inn set up for what may have been a typical typical night. From the start of the play, when Ray walked on stage, to the moment when Frank experienced his heart attack, the cast kept the audience audience on its toes. Director Bob Sheridan certainly must have had his hands full with the responsibility of conducting conducting the mad-cap comedy to its end. The play worked on several several different levels at the same time. In fact, there were several moments during during the play when many of the characters were on stage together, but confined to their own spaces. While Ray read a pornographic pornographic magazine, Frank slept on one bed, Andy and Ruth split up their household household goods and Sally read "Jane Eyre" while Phil read his copy of "The Joy of Sex." Playing one set of couples against another created the necessary tension and comic relief to make the play a successful successful one. The lines meshed into each other so well, it was pleasant to listen to the sparring as well as the tidbits tidbits of information one gathered gathered throughout the play. With the wide range of characters and ages of them too, it was easy to see how and why the play termed as Happy 50th Anniversary May 31st Karen Samis She described herself as being a non-competitive person person but one who "always had to be good." Now she feels she is much more able to "take risks." For instance, she decided to run for student council. Before she did that, she decided decided that even if she didn't win, the experience would help her learn to lose better. The seminars, and the things she has learned about herself, have boosted her confidence. And as for the weekend seminars, both Darcy and Karen agreed that the weekend weekend wasn't boring and that participants couldn't help out have fun. The Hugh O'Brian Youth Foundation," started by the actor Hugh O'Brian, helps teenagers become more positive positive in their outlook. Mr. O'Brian established the foundation more than 30 years ago to recognize and reward the leadership of American youth. The Canadian branch of the organization hasn't been around as long as the original original American Foundation, but the purpose remains the same. 14th Anniversary Sale Save An Additional -- all Wallpaper and Borders ■-- On Our Every Day Low Discount Prices (Excluding Buy 1 Get 1 Free, Buy 1 Get 2 Ficc) wallpaper centre tiiWallpaper 3 or 4 rooms for the price of one, I SERVING THE DURHAM REGION SINCE 1960 Lloyd and Betty Hancock With Love and Best Wishes from Larry and Sharon Paul and Lou-Anne Jon and Jeanette and all your grandchildren Many Bowmanville and area theatre-goers checked into The Wayside Motor Inn on the weekend. The spring production of the Bowmanville Drama Workshop was an "adult comedy" in which a motor inn becomes the setting for a wide variety of soap opera-type characters who, for various reasons, are staying at the inn.
