No wonder Boyd Devereaux loves to come home. It seems as though nothing much has changed in his hometown, including the decor in his bedroom. But just who exactly is the player featured in the poster that hangs on his bedroom wall? The personable Edmonton forward admits there aren't any of his Oiler teammates, but he's working on it. What was your first job growing up in Seaforth? "Oh man! I picked stones on my Uncle Ray's farm. It was one of the toughest jobs of all time. You basically go up and down the rows and pick the stones that come up in late spring and early summer. There are a couple of guys on each side and they're responsible for a few rows. The tractor inches along and you have to throw them in the trailer. Those were pretty long days, but it was fun, too. I got to work with some buddies and my cousin. We joked around when we were working and it's not as had as I'm making it. But it was hot out there and I definitely got a farmer's tan." Any other jobs? "Just doing some other farm things. I bated hay and I also cut the lawn at my dad's office. He's the lawyer in town." After those long days, what did you do for fun? "You get involved in a lot of sports. There's a team to play on for every kid. I played a lot of soccer and baseball and we were always playing road hockey. We did a lot of stuff outdoors because Seaforth is a great place to grow up as a kid." Was it a big culture shock going from a small town to a much bigger city? "The good thing about Seaforth is that it's an hour from London and an hour from Kitchener.

It was an ideal place to grow up. it's a great small town and you're near some bigger cities, so I wasn't too shocked when I arrived in Edmonton." What's the nightlife like in Seaforth? "There's a lot of house parties. There's one bar downtown, but the more popular thing for us was to go to house parties which is kind of cool in it's own way." What are your fondest memories of St. James Elementary school? "It was great. It was very small school. We had great teachers throughout. I was involved in a lot of sports and extracurricular activities. The teachers really took an interest in the school sports. If you were a half -decent athlete, you were involved in every event the school put on. We were playing basketball, volleyball, baseball and soccer. They even had a hockey tournament in the winter that all the elementary schools faced - off in. We always. had fun Family hopes for best as Devereaux decides about hockey career From Page 1 an exciting future no matter what path he takes. "I think the bottom line is, we're all hoping the very best for him." While the community has been eager in the past to put names on telegrams of support duringhis successes, Weber said people should be just as eager to send cards to him now. Devereaux is making this decision after coming off his most productive NHL season, scoring eight goals and 19 assists. GRAY INSURANCE BROKERS INC.
