Rotary exchange student returning home to Australia By Scott Anderson At least one person in the Township of Scugog appreciat- ed the winter storm last week. She also believes the storm was a going away present for her. Linda Davies, 18, a Rotary Club exchange student from Newcastle, Australia, said she had never seen a storm of that magnitude before and was thrilled by the experience. Al- though she has been here since January, 1991, this was her first real blast of winter. "I loved it," she said of last week's storm. "I had never seen something like that before. We went out and playedinit." Ms. Davies believes the storm was a special going away gift from Mother Nature, much the same as when she arrived. On Jan. 22, 1991, she was wel- comed to Canada with a temper- ature of -26 C. "Winter will never be the same again," she said. Ms. Davies left for Australia on Jan. 21, where it tempera- tures this time of year are ap- proximately 30-35 C.

During her year-long stay, she has seen more of Canada and the United States than most North Americans will see during their lives. One tour she went on consisted of a bus trip across Canada to Vancouver, and then returning through the northern States. She also visited Ottawa, Kingston, Haliburton and Niag- ara Falls and went skiing in Banff. Ms. Davies says during her year in Canada, she has learned a tremendous amount about Canada. Although she has spent a year away from home, including a birthday on May 2 and Christ- mas, she said she didn't suffer terribly from homesickness. She admitted she began to miss home a little during her birthday, but her mind was quickly taken off the thought when a surprise party was thrown for her. "Of course I missed my fami- ly, but I was able to get involved in things." This involvement took her mind off her family and friends in Australia. Just asshehad to say goodbye to family and good friends a year ago, she will have to do the same again as her time in Cana- da draws to a close. "I will miss it definitely," she says about Port Perry. "I made a lot of great friends. January 15 was a sad day for her as it was her last day at Port Perry High School. "It was really sad because I had to say goodbye to friends and teachers," she said. Later that night she was the est of honor at a dinner at miel's in Port Perry, spon- sored by the Rotary Club. On arriving back in Newcas- tle, she won't have much time to get reacquainted with Australia, before beginning her first year of school at the Uni- versity of Newcastle. But don't think for a minute that we've seen the last of her, however. "I fully intend to come back," she vowed. Talk sex with Sue Johanson at Scugog Women meeting When it comes to sex, no one speaks more openly and enter- tainingly than Sue Johanson. Mrs. Johanson will be the guest speaker at the Scugog Women's dinner meeting on Wednesday, Feb. 5. The Toronto-based teacher and lecturer of sex and sexuali- ty spoke to the group one year ago. Her discussion was such a hit, the group has arranged a return engagement. Not only will she speak, Mrs. Johanson will also answer any uestions from women hoping to spice up their love lives in time or Valentine's Day. For those women too timid to verbally ask what's on their minds, a question sheet will be given out with each ticket purchased. Queries can simply be written on the sheet and handed in during registration. ) Mrs. Johanson is used to answering questions on sex and sexuality. She is the host of the radio phone-in program "The Sunday Night Sex Show" on Q107, as well as hosting "Talking Sex With Sue" on Rogers Cable Television in Oshawa, and "Kids, Sex, Drugs, and Rock" on CHCH TV. She has also written two books on the subject. Her first enti- tled "Talk Sex" is a compilation of questions and answers to some of the most common queries from adolescents. Copies of her latest book, "Sex is Perfectly Natural but not Naturally Per- fect," will be for sale at the dinner. The dinner lecture will be held at the Stables Restaurant at the Greystone Equestrian Centre on Shirley Road. Registration and cocktails begin at 5:30 p.m. Dinner is at 6:30 p.m. and the lecture begins at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $30 each and can be purchased from Shelley Hughes at Re/Max Realty (985-4427) or Ruth Wilkins at the Community Memorial Hospital (985-7321, ext. 285). Jayne Stafford, host of Good Company on CKVR, will be the guest speaker at the final meeting of the '91-'92 dinner lecture series on Wednesday, April 29. The brightest idea of 1991 was whispered to me after I had From Page 7 addressed the Brewers Retail convention at the Marriot Hotel in Toronto in November and made fun of their sophisticated bottle sorting system. A top V. P. of Brewer's Retail revealed to me that Brewer's Retail is about to announce a solution to their sorting problem -- and I swear this is true -- a standardized size beer bottle! Brilliance blazes most brightly at the top. Let me go way out on the limb here and take a wild guess: the new bottle wouldn't by chance be dark, brown and a little on the stubby side would it? 1991 - just shake your head when asked about it.
