"'Timeline objections lapsed and there was no one to object," said McNair. Again, as a point of order, Bonesteel askej if McNair was there representing Zone 4 as a litigation lawyer, or as a Zone 4 ratepayer. 1 am not a ratepayer in Zone 4, I am sim- ply a litigation lawyer invited here - representing someone - not entirely a person or a group," he answered adding these questions have been posted for some time and he did not understand why there were no answers. "Are you on a retainer here tonight- are you being paid to be here?" Bonesteel asked. "The firm has been retained," he answered. Councilor John Russell said the questions of this del- egation should be directed to the Sewer Adhoc group stat- ing that body was struck for this type of questioning and that this council trusts the group to do just that. Bones- teel said he presented the chair of the Adhoc group, Carl Belke, with the list of ques- tions and was told he was uncomfortable answering some of them as they are not within their mandate. It was suggested that the chair, CAO and mayor get together and sort out which questions can be answered by the Adhoc group and what questions should be answered by the municipality. Councilor Ruth Millan asked that this be in consultation with the munici- pal lawyer. Weber told McNair they were not shutting him off, was there anything new he wanted to add? McNair said they would like an EA done or redone properly with instruc- tions to the public. "I am confused. Are we planning on building sewers in Zones 3 and 4?" asked Lambton Shores councilor Martin Underwood, after apologizing for being redun- dant in this question. Weber said, "No, not at this time.' " Can you please repeat it so I can hear it and so can the law- yer- are we getting sewers in Zones 3 and 4? Underwood asked Weber who again answered "No, not at this time." "Did you hear that sir?" he asked McNair. Councilor Lorle Scott sug- gested that Adhoc has three more meetings before the public meeting November 28th and December 5th report of recommendations that comes back to council, so there was tirne to get these questions answered. As he concluded, McNair also asked about a Ministry letter and its directives that came to council August 15, 2007. This three-page letter under James O'Mara signa- ture, formally the director of Environmental Assessment and Approvals Branch, was in regards to the EA for the Grand Bend and Area Sewage Servicing Master Plan. McNair said he would leave a copy for new council members who were not in power in 2007. PECKITT'S MEN'S WEAR. "Fa 11 .tier 1'r I1,f. .\ 111(11Ica ('II1Il'1. 111 I.

Last year Emily competed in Portugal but says the com- petition this year was much bigger than in Portugal. "1 definitely had bigger and bet- ter competition in each one of the categories I competed in. As well, the whole com- petition was run much smoother than last year. On the final night, they had a night show this year for Tears Sparring events. I was asked to be part of the team spar- ring for the Under 12 girls this year which was quite an hon- our. I also had three more events that I competed in this year than last year. " This year for Ernily, the divlsons were: Extreme Forms, Creative Weapons, Freestyle Forms, Point Spar- ring, Continuous Sparring and T1eam Sparring. Last year she competed in Extreme Forms, Point and Continuous sparring and she competed each of the five days. Four golds Emily received a gold medal in both her Creative Weapons and Freestyle divi- sions. The first day was forms competitions and she had to come in the top four in both these divisions to be able to move onto the finals. Emily also received a gold medal in Point and Continuous Spar- ring. In point sparring she had a by into the second round. This meant she only ad one fight to win to get to ii: a finals. In continuous sparring, she had two fights on the first day of fighting competition, Submitted phobia Emily Mussio In Spain both of them very good com- petitors from England and Ireland, "1 was very nervous for my Continuous fighting because the Europeans can compete in it in regular com- petitions and we, in Canada, don't due to regulations. After winning both these fights, I moved to the finals to fight an American. She was an easier fight than my two competitors on the first day of fighting competition," she said. She also received a medal in 'Team Fighting. 'Team fighting is where the top three fighters from your country from different weight catego- ries fight another team. "We ended up with a Silver medal in this competition. It was quite an honour to be asked to be part of the team fight- ing and it was one dilly goals to be able to do it." Learning experience In life's lessons- one for Emily is definitely focus. "At the Provincials, 1 was in first place in my kata competition, lost my focus and started chit chatting to people around me - and come the final round, 1 moved down to second place because of it. At the Worlds, I knew that 1 had to be focused to bring my best. I brought my best by finding my own space and listening to music on my iPod before competi- tion and stretching. It really helped me a lot. I definitely learned how important focus is at this level of competition." What's next? Emily will take some time to unwind from all the dedi- cation she has put in during the past few months of train- ing, says mom Cathy. "She may attend some smaller competitions, mostly for fun. Next year, if she decides to try out for Team Canada again, she will likely begin training in late January. She moves into a new age category next year 13- 17 year olds, so she definitely has to work hard to make the team if she chooses," And when she got home... "1 was pretty tired after 21 hours of traveling from Madrid, but pulling into the driveway was very exciting! 1 was so happy to see the signs and decorations that the neighbours had put up around our house. It was so kind and thoughtful - it was a great feeling to have such great support! It was also exciting going back to school . The teachers and students were so supportive - couldn't wait to get back to see them all. " "It has been a wonderful experience going to Spain. I had set my goals on receiving a gold medal - but to get 4 was just amazing. 1 have great coaches and get to train with some of the best In the world through Bernardo Karate, and 1 am so lucky to have this opportunity. 1 also want to mention my tears mate Sarah Houston who also got to travel to Spain as well. She competed in crea- tive weapons getting a bronze medal. The two of us had a fun time! 1 also hope that 1 can encourage some other students in our club who may be interested in competition to go for it." And for mom Cathy, "Emily once was told to "Shoot for the Moon", by a young lady named Megan Mackenzie who is also a World Champion in Bo. Shoot for the moon she did, and we are so very proud of her hard work and dedication."
