Orono Weekly Times - Wednesday, September 11,2002 - 5 Places I've Done Time by Clifford Francis So you think you're tough I sure met a lot of people at the fair who I knew and many of them were from out of town. Some I was glad to see, and others... ? One fellow came along and shook my hand and said, "Remember that time in the Lindsay Hotel when you boxed and nearly got your block knocked off?" I said I didn't remember but really, I did. I went that day to the hotel to watch him box in a tournament tournament called, "So you think you're tough." The fellow I went to see fight was called "Slim" Wilson and he was originally from Glace Bay, Nova Scotia and had recently moved to Lindsay where he resides today. He still threatens to go home every now and then. This particular night, his opponent was a man in his middle thirties that was nearly bald but had a comb over. While waiting to see Slim fight, I took great pleasure in harassing this fellow about his bald head and his big belly. He told me what would happen to me if I got in the ring with him. I told him there would be little or nothing left of him if I went at him. I knew I was pretty safe where I sat. I wasn't going to have much to drink as I was the second for "Slim." "Wipe my face and give me a squirt of water and the fight will be over in a few seconds," Slim said. Slim's fight was second last on the card and by that time I'd had quite a few shots and too many beers and I had the fat, bald guy pretty mad at me. Just a few minutes before Slim's fight, disaster struck. A Kyoto Protocol Continued from page 4 The following is proposed proposed as a means of moving moving as swiftly as possible to rebuild consensus that must exist within a federation federation like Canada, and arrive at the information base necessary to decide which course best serves Canada's and Canadians interests. Yours truly, Joe Clark, Member of Parliament, Calgary Centre House of Commons, Ottawa Telephone 613-947-4552 fight broke out at one of the tables and Slim stepped on a beer bottle and sprained his ankle while trying to break it up. Not being able to fight, they needed a replacement. "How about that loud mouth with you?" the bald guy asked Slim. "He seems pretty brave." Not even all that whiskey made me brave enough to want to get in the ring with him. But, to save face, I put on the gloves and shorts and they pushed me into the ring. "No low blows and no clutching," the ref said and we knocked gloves. Then I reached up and ruffled his hair. His comb-over came to one side and he hit me and knocked me on my keester. The referee stopped the fight while I got my contact lens straightened around and he combed his hair. Then we went at it. He knocked me all around the ring and through the ropes out onto the floor. Lots of hands tossed me back into the ring with great delight. After two rounds, he was winded from hitting me so much so I thought the third and final round would be easy. No such luck. The string on my shorts broke adding to my problems. Have you ever tried holding up your pants wearing boxing gloves while getting punched in the face? Before the third round ended, the bald comb-over guy, quit beating me out of sheer exhaustion. I think it was the only time in my life that I won a fight and wished I hadn't. Because, when the ref raised my arms in victory, my shorts fell to the floor. I felt so small. 7<"0 Short-form 24 moves EASY TO LEARN IN 12 WEEKS Sept. 12-Nov. 28 Thursdays 10 a.m. at Orono Chiropractic Clinic $36.00 Minimum Enrollment required Please call Pat at 905-983-9475 Terry Fox Run CLARINGTON - Bouyed by the success of last year's run and invigorated by the swelling community support this year, Claringto's Terry Fox Run is primed and ready to go.

I'm Project Manager for the Environmental Assessment of Ontario Power Generation's proposal to construct and operate a Used Fuel Dry Storage Facility at Darlington Nuclear and I would like to invite you to attend one of our upcoming information Open Houses. Responsible-Management As part of our nuclear waste management program, used fuel bundles have been stored safely , in water-filled bays at Darlington Nuclear for more than ten years. OPG is proposing to transfer these bundles into large concrete and steel storage containers and then place them in on-site storage buildings specifically built for this purpose. Similar technology has been approved and is in use at OPG's Pickering Nuclear and is approved and under construction at OPG's waste management facility in Bruce County.
