SOAR HIGH EARNERS:
AIKIN - $1007
JANA - $310
MATTHEW L. - $300
ROBERT - $250
By Aikin On September 27, 2007 Springboard had it’s
7th Annual Walkathon at Ash Bridges Bay.
When we got there, everybody got their t-
shirts and then we got ready for the walk.
After everybody got back we all had our
lunch, which was really good and also
healthy. We had ham, turkey and veggie
sandwiches and for desert we had a cake,
which was made by Paul’s dad, Fred and it
was so delicious. After lunch it was time to
give out the prizes for the top three earners
and I was the top earner with a total of
$1007. I got really cool prizes like an Opera-
tion Springboard jacket, a portable DVD
player, a t-shirt and a free lunch at The Gin-
german restaurant. I also got a choice to
have free lunch with any staff of my choice
and I got a cap from CHUM FM I had so
much fun, I can’t wait until next year!
BYE-BYE BEARD
By Jorhan
Staff Dan Boyer promised SOAR participants that he would shave off his beloved beard if they raised $5000 for the Walkathon. Dan thought $5000 was a lot. Who could possibly raise all that money!?!

GOLF TRIP RIGHT ON PAR
By Misty We went golfing with Meaghan and Cavelle at the
golf course. We went to Loblaws to eat our lunch
first. After lunch we went to the golf course to play
golf. My ball went into the water last year and this
year my ball didn’t go in the water. My ball was
purple. Last year my ball was purple. Everybody
had fun at the golf course.
AN EX-CELLENT TIME
By Maria We went to The Ex and we looked at the games

won stuffed toys and had lunch. We walked in the
stores and saw horses walk along the side of the
street. We went back to SOAR and talked about
the Ex and went home.

By Sarah and Ashley On Friday we went to the Taylor Creek Park with
Claire, Kevin and Scott. We put the mulch into the
pail and poured it around the trees with Claire. we
went on a nature walk with Claire and she had
lunch with us. We learned about seeds and pulled
out bad weeds (“Invasive species”). After that we
talked about bird calls and sounds with Kevin and
built a birdhouse. We put the bird house on the
pole and after that we put the bird house near the
trees with Scott and Kevin. We worked on the bird
calls with Kevin. We learn about all kinds of birds.
ARTS AT THE HEART
By Sarah On Saturday we went to Arts At the Heart. We
looked at the paintings, jewellery, clothes and
bags. We went to the Eaton Centre to look at mu-
sic and videos at HMV and had lunch. Also, we
saw a robot that moves around if you pay him.
They have a sculpture and artworks we can buy

cert.

what they do with their spare time. Always tell
them your first and last name. Don’t tell them your

ENTERTAINMENT HALLOWEEN By Dzidra My review is of the movie Halloween (2007). I
thought I’d rate the movie from 1-10. My rating is
5. This is because the movie is a remake of the
first one. I liked the movie since I love horror mov-
ies. I can’t wait until they make another Halloween
remake but I hope it is better.
CANADIAN IDOL By Dianna This season of Canadian Idol was excellent. Brian
Melo from Halifax won. Mom and I thought that JD
from Alberta would win but he didn’t, he lost. He
should have won. I am upset that JD lost but it
was a close race between Brian and JD.

He’s not nice, he’s mad. Chucky
gets married to Tiffany. They have
a kid. They found a house to hide
in. They found a girl named Jenni-
fer. Jennifer has two kids, they are
twins. Tiffany changed into Jennifer
and her eyes turned green. I love it,
it’s fun.
ZOMBIE WOODS By Dane
By day the woods is a nice quiet area where all the animals sing
and play. At night the living dead come out to terrorize and feed on
anyone who enters or stays in the woods. Chad and a couple of his
friends Jay, Kelly, Mike and Kerri were going to go to Zombie woods
to relax and camp out. Mike thought that they should go down there
and stay over night. They asked him why, and he told them about
the zombies that come out at night and stay in at day and how they
feed on flesh and brains. They didn’t believe him so they thought he
was joking. They went to the woods and the first night that they
were there, Kelly had to go to the bathroom. On her way there she
heard a sound behind her and when she looked there was nothing
there. When she turned back around a zombie took a bit out of her.
Chad, Jay and Mike heard a scream. Jay went to go see what it
was. Then from out of nowhere a pack of zombies came. They tore
Mike up. Kerri and Chad ran. Kerri fell and hit her head and the
zombie got to her. Chad was still running. He saw a barrel of toxic
waste then he realized what happened - That it spilled on the floor
in a cemetery and that’s what happened. Just when Chad wasn’t
looking the zombies were right behind him. Chad tried to run but
they caught him and had him for dinner.

SOAR PARTY
By Aikin On October 25, 2007 SOAR will be having its annual
International Pot Luck party. There will be staff and par-
ticipants who will be dressing in costumes. There will be
lots of good food like last year we had Chinese food,
which was really good. There will also be good music
and a lot of dancing and people taking pictures of every-
one. Downstairs the hallway will be dark and will be
decorated. It is going to be really scary, although last
year I was not scared at all. I just want to say that it was
a lot of fun.

TALES OF TERROR!
SOAR CITIZEN No. 18/19—- SUMMER - FALL 2007
THE GHOSTS By Dzidra Once there was a strange couple who lived in an old house. The
house was said to be haunted! Four people went in the house and
were never seen again. People say the ghosts took them. They saw
dripping slime and heads floating around and skeletons. Anyway,
new people have inherited the house. They were relatives of the
ghosts. One night on Halloween they got all the candy and other
stuff out. They told the trick-or-treaters the grapes were eyeballs.
They had candy vampire teeth and juice disguised as blood. They
left the stuff out for the kids. If they took too much of the candy the
kids would disappear. No one knows what happens to them. The
owners of the house were inside having a party with their ghostly
relatives. Every year after Halloween the house would be deserted. It
was as if no one lived in the house. No one dared to buy the house if
they put it on the market. BOO!

MEMORIES Based on true events! By Meaghan
Once program is over and everyone signs out, SOAR
changes. It becomes quiet and dark and scary. It is
almost like a haunted house, with strange noises and
creeks. Once everyone leaves you can hear the peo-
ple who live above SOAR using their staircase. It al-
most sounds like someone is coming up the SOAR
staircase from the basement. The water pipes are
also very loud at SOAR when it is quiet. Sometimes I
think it is a waterfall on the other side of the wall and
then I realize that it is just the pipes. The dishwasher
is also loud once everyone is gone home. Sometimes
I think someone is doing the dishes. When I go to see
if they need help I don’t see anyone there and I hear
the dishwasher instead. Even though there are scary
things at SOAR I am still really happy and excited to
be the new Vocational Counselor.

NEW STAFF My name is Meaghan and I am the new
Extended Program Vocational Coun-
selor here at SOAR. I am very excited
to be here. Everyone is so friendly and
always makes sure to say ’hello’ when
they see me. Before program begins, at
break and at dinner we talk about all
sorts of things like our favourite foods,
plans for the weekend or current
events. Being new to SOAR, it is very
comforting to always have a very socia-
ble group of people around me. Every-
one is friendly from the time they enter
SOAR until they sign out.
My name is Yewande and I am a Cen-
tennial College Student. I am currently
in my 2nd year in the social service pro-
gram. I am completing my field place-
ment at SOAR. Working at the program
is a new learning experience. The staff
at SOAR are great, helpful and encour-
aging. I am willing to learn more during
my placement time in order to further
my learning as a social service worker.
GOODBYE Best of luck to staff Kelly (former Voca-tional Counselor) and Lee (former Relief Staff)! You will be missed!
