Times-Advocate, 1986-07-02, Page 3The only devil is one you look at lnniirror "There is no devil except the one who stares at you in the mirror each morning," Father Joe Nelligan told the audience at the first SHDHS honor student dinner held at the rec centre, Wednesday. After telling the top students that the only game in life is power, the former Mt. Carmel'priest pionted out that the power extended to them through education comes from the fact that it opens up alternatives and lets•them make choices. "The ultimate power," he con- tinued, "is truth and integrity". Explaining' that he spends his lily dealing with people who make wrong choices, Nelligan emphasized that parents and teachers can only open up and explain the possibilities to students and the final choice must be undertaken by the student. The ultimate human tragedy is regret, he advised, regret over what might have been. "The only person who will ever measure you is yourself," he said, after advising that while the event was being held to recognize their ef- fort, that recognition should not go to the students' heads because it is not THE thing. The Port Lambton cleric said that he wouldn't ,trade places with the students for $1 billion because they face a world where too many have taken too much for too long from the system and too few are paying back. He urged the students to stay curious and inquisitive and explain- ed that there is nothing in the mind or the intellect that doesn't come tprough the senses. Nelligan suggested that if people used their heads they wouldn't be dy- ing from lung cancer, killing their forests and streams and living amidst pollution. "You compete only against yourself and once you close your mind you are a victim of yourself," he advised. Huron board of education superintendent of operations, Bob McCall, also issued a challenge to the students after explaining that their honor standing reflected their signifi- cant qualities of hard work, dedica- tion, sincerity, sense of pride and recognition of the significance of excellance. He urged them to maintain their high standards and use their abilities for the betterment of all people while always respecting the abilities and talents of those around them. McCall told them to turn off the 6/49 lottery and "earn it the real way." McCall said it was a joy to see the home. and school join as a family to recognize the achievement of, the students and suggested. the strength of the home brings students to • fruition. Students were told they had brought distinction to themselves as well as their families and school. Board members Harry Hayter and Pea harvest is underway Barring unforseen circumstances, the 1986 'crop year in Huron will be average, according to OMAF rep Don Pullen. Recent heavy rains have bombard- ed the hay, especially in a strip from Lake Huron through to Dungannon and Wingham, where three inches fell in a few hours. Hay quality across the county has been affected by the sud- den downpours, which have made curing more difficult.Pullen predicts an average yield of medium -quality hay. The uneven grain so visible a month ago on late -planted fields that got caught in the spring dry spell is not as evident now, but Pullen cautions that the later crops will not yield as well as those planted earlier in the season. Corn looks good across the county. Pullen advises farmers to walk their fields to check for army worms, as there are infestations of the pests in some areas. Winter barley is starting to turn. and the wheat is fully headed. The forecast is optimistic for everything but prices. The pea pack at Canadian Canners in Exeter began Sunday night, and is continuing with two daily eight-hour shifts. Manager Joe Rider reports that yields will be down from last year's bumper crop because heavy spring rains caused root rot in some of the early -planted fields. The excellent yields from later plantings will balance this, giving an average overall yield. Pea quality is good.

Reap Continued from front page Comfort Collection", Anne says with a smile. -- , Outlets have expanded, and items are now available at My Sister's Closet, Grand Bend, and the Petticoat Lane stores in Lucan and Forest. The past year has been particular- ly busy as well as eventful for Atme. After completing her 1985 sewing last July, she obtained a part-time job working four hours a week at Busy Bodies in the Masonville shopping centre last August, and a 14 -hour per week job as cashier at the Superstore in -September. She also attended Western full time, receiving her B.Sc. in biology this month. "It didn't leave much time for a social life," Anne recalls with a sigh. what you se This summer Anne is weighing a number of options that will determine her future as she dreams up new ad- ditions to her sportswear line, or zips up more items for this year's produc- tion on her Janome sewing machine. She is torn between continuing her scientific training or launching out in- to a career designing and selling her own line of sportswear. Anne's university training could lead on• to a field such as medical research, with the potential of benefitting many people. On the other hand, clothes are necessary, and she thoroughly enjoys designing, sewing and selling. Anne is grateful for the, help she received through the Student Venture Capital program, pointing out she would never have been able to try out her own business without the loan. The achievement award presented by Gregory Sorbara, minister of skills and development, the trip over to Queen's. Park to be acknowledged from the floor of the legislature, and the fleeting moments in front of the TV cameras were the icing on the cake. Anne will know in mid-July if she has been accepted in the co-op fasion design course at Fanshawe. If not, there is a design course at Brescia College, or more biology courses at Western. Whatever the future holds, Anne will tackle it with the same inititative, , imagination and determination that have brought her this far in a short 22 years. „ Step N On Footwear _Summer Right This Way To $AVING$ for the entire family in our Sa ei C Childreh's Sandals Assorted ColoursWhat's $999. 9 and Men's Sandals Left of Them 99 Women's Casual Sandais20%- Dozens to choose from Priced to sell 99 $9"114", At Least All remaining summer sandals, bone and white, dress shoes, bone and white purses.
