Vol. 50 No. 44 "Using Communication To Build Better Communities" THURSDAY, APRIL 12, 2012 40 Pages $1.00 (plus tax) Student honours lost moms By Brice Roy SPECIAL TO THE BEAVER After two years, Grade 5 student Julianna Collarile is finally ready to cut her hair -- and the reason isn't a change of style, but a matter of heart. Since October 2010, the mothers of three St. Bernadette Catholic Elementary School students have died of breast cancer, two in the last seven months. Inspired by the mothers' courage and heartbroken for her classmates, the 10-year-old Collarile decided to do something. "I realized that when you're growing up and a kid, you need your mom. I'm doing this because I wouldn't want to lose my mom and I don't want kids to suffer," said Collarile. For those who may want to shout out loud at their loss, Collarile, with the help of her own mother, started Shout Out Loud. It's a charity dedicated to helping fight cancer and raising money for awareness. In an effort to raise donations, Collarile will sacrifice most of her signature long blonde locks. Through the support of her principal Anne Koritko, Collarile has made her cause a school-wide event. During St. Bernadette's A Night in Italy pasta dinner on April 19, she will have her hair cut and get to share another of her passions by performing a song. "It's Just the Way You Are by Bruno See Pushing page 5 Town to gamble on OLG? By David Lea OAKVILLE BEAVER STAFF Allow the possible introduction of Video Lottery Terminals (VLTs) and slot machines in Oakville or risk severe hardship for numerous local charities. This is the choice Oakville's council will be faced with at Monday's council meeting as it decides whether to accept a Charitable Gaming Centre Municipality Agreement brought forward by the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation Mayor Rob Burton (OLG). In a report to the Administrative Services Committee, Town staff identified a number of concerns with respect to the agreement, which is intended to revitalize charitable gambling in Oakville and across the province. In one section of the agreement, Assistant Town Clerk Phil Bouillon said the OLG listed the specific games allowed in Oakville, but also included a clause that will permit the addition of other types of games at any time in the future without consulting the municipality. Bouillon also said that in the agreement, the OLG has refused to rule out the possibility of permitting slot machines within a charitable gaming centre (i.e. Oakville Delta Bingo).

Three students at her school, St. Bernadette's Catholic Elementary School, have lost their moms to the disease since October, 2010.
