Brussels girl wins trip to New York City
BY JULIE MacDONALD
4:30 a.m., July 19, 1985 marked the
beginning of a memorable eleven days for
Karla King, 15 -year-old daughter of Bill and
Joanne King of Brussels. Chosen over eight
other contestants to represent the local
chapter of the Oddfellow and Rebekah Lodge
on the annual United Nations Pilgrimage for
Youth, Karla enjoyed a hectic but fun -filled --
and educational -- journey, highlighted by
five days in New York City.
The bubbly Karla, who will be entering
Grade 11 at FE Madill Secondary School in
W ingham this fall, enjoys most school sports,
singing, playing the piano, figure skating and
drama. Employed for the summer with the
Blyth Festival Theatre's Youth Workshop,
Karla was thankful she was allowed time off
from her job to enable her to take the trip.
Learning of the contest through Mr.
Farnell, the effective speaking club advisor
at F. E. Madill, Karla says her ears "perked
up" at the mention of a trip to New York.
Upon her return. she had not appeared to lose
any of her enthusiasm, sporting an "I love
NY" t -shirt and displaying a coveted 5th
Avenue shopping bag. I got a pair of
socks," she confides.
Upon arriving in Toronto Friday, July 19,
Karla boarded a bus with other Ontario
winners and those from Michigan and
Minnesota, who had been travelling since
Wednesday. From Toronto, the group
headed for Ottawa where they toured the
parliament buildings and walked along the
Rideau Canal. It was then on to Montreal for a
Saturday evening tour of the city. Sunday
afternoon found the participants checking
KARLA KING
into Southgate Towers on 31st Street at 7th
Avenue, New York City.
"We saw the Empire State Building -- that
was great --, a show at Radio City Music Hall,
Rockefeller Centre, Harlem, the New York
Stock Exchange... and, of course, the United
Nations."
The regional winners -- chosen on the basis
of a five to seven minute prepared speech and
a shorted impromptu one -- also had plenty of
opportunity to socialize with each other, and
to make some lasting friendships.
Karla's award winning speech centred on
her hon e town of Brussels. "Ask not what
your hometown can do for you, but what can
you do for your home town" says Karla.
Brussels seems the ideal place to live with its
"lush green lawns, not much traffic, a river
nearby and almost no pollution."
The impromptu speeches were to,be based
on objects provided to the contestants;
Karla's object was an elastic band.
"I tried to say stupid things to make the
judges laugh. When they announced that I'd
won, I was really excited."
Before leaving New York, the speakers
competed again with the topic, "W hat
knowledge have I gained from the Oddfellow-
Rebekah educational tour and why would I
recommend it to others."
The trip ended with two days in W ashing-
ton -- visiting the Arlington Cemetery, the
Lincoln Memorial and the White House -- and
a stop in Niagara Falls before returning to
Toronto.
It was the experience of a lifetime, one
Karla will be sure to remember for a long
time.
