Original Toronto Star caption: Aim high, don't sell yourself short and give it all you've got if you want to make a big splash in life, says former Olympic diver Janet Nutter. That's the message this gold medalist delivered to 600 North York students recently as she urged them to adopt a more positive lifestyle. Nutter, a member of the Canadian National Diving Team from 1971 to 1980, was guest speaker at Nelson A. Boylen Secondary School's one-day conference on healthy lifestyle choices. [Incomplete]

Shopping: Norman Browne spends about $15 a week for rent and $8 for food. I don't eat rich or fancy, but tend towards a simple, meaty, varied menu. I like creative cooking and my pride and joy is cooking up a pot of pork hock stew. I'd give out the recipe but you've got to be poor to appreciate it.

After: Dawn Hosier and Dr. Earl Farber after surgery. The pair is sitting in the doctor's Inn on the Park office. It's amazing - the change makes you feel good about yourself, Hosier says

Doreen MacDonald picked up a toaster from a pile of battered appliances in the Qeen St. E. Soup-to-nuts junk store run by Jack Himself Cohen. One dollar. Himself said. Does it work? Doreen asked. I don't know. Why don't you plug it in and find out? All I do is sell as is. You won't plug it in? No. Doreen paid the $1 and once again proved Himself's credo: I don't polish anything. I learned my lesson when I polished the $25 special finish off a candelabra early in business. Since then I sell everything just as it is. [Incomplete]
