TEMPLETON: The funny thing is that pageant interview suits are very different than attorney suits, because as an +Fe attorney,yourjob is to blend in the best you can.If you attract a lot of attention to yourself, people aren't paying attention to your client's case.

JONATHAN J. DWYER FOR THE TORONTO STAR Stle wants to be Mrs. America. He wants to be Mr. Canada. David Morland N had just gotten divorced and wasn't looking for a relationship when he met a tall,attractive woman In Phoenix.The couple PGA golfer David Morland IV, who grew up in North Bay celebrates their second anniversary in and Aurora,will be teeing off in the Canadian Open at December. Oakville's Glen Abbey on Thursday but the biggest competition in his family happens tonight when Morland's wife Michele,the reigning Mrs. Florida,battles 50 other married women for the title of Mrs. America. "I want that crown,"Michele,28, said passionately in a phone interview from Palm Springs, Calif., where the pageant is being held. "I'm going to take it first to the Bell Canadian Open and then I'm going to take it back to Florida." Morland, who currently sits 194th on the PGA Tours money list with $141,370 in winnings this season,faces the possibility of returning to qualifying school if he can't shoot up into the top 125. As a resultkhc- file same goal as his wife coming into the tournament. "(I want)to win," he said during a recent interview at King Valley Golf Club in Aurora. "Being Canadian, it's all the more special. It would mean a lot." Morland, 35, said his game has been inconsistent and he's been working on his putting. He feels he has the game to win, but his desire for victory is a little less, well, colourful than his wife's. "I'm out for blood," Michele said before heading out for another long day of practising for the televised competition. "I'm not here to make friends." She's never lost a beauty pageant and she doesn't intend to lose this one, she said. http://www.thestar.corn/NASApp/cs/ContentServer?pagename—rthestar/Layout/Article Print... 9/9/2004 TheStar.com-Driven to win on runway,fairway Page 2 of 3 She's wanted the title ever since she was a child and met Mrs. Mississippi. "I knew I was going to compete in this pageant... as soon as I got married." She met Morland several years ago at a restaurant after the Phoenix Open. He was fresh from a divorce and had no interest in talking to any women at the time,but was attracted to Michele,a "tall, good looking girl." They marred two years ago this December. As soon as they returned from their honeymoon,Michele downloaded an application for the state beauty competition. She discovered she was pregnant a few weeks later and was forced to wait a year to compete. After their daughter,Taylor,was born last August,Michele said she was determined to get back in shape for herself and her husband. "All the wives on tour are so beautiful," she said. "I didn't want him to be married to a frump." So she hired a personal trainer and followed a healthy diet to lose the baby weight. She now weighs 15 pounds less than she did before her pregnancy. Watching his wife reveal her competitive side going into the Mrs. Florida pageant in February amused Morland,who's gotten used to fellow golfers asking him if he's Mr. Florida. He admits that the night of the state competition he was more nervous than he's ever been on a golf course. "He screamed like a little girl when I won,too,"joked Michele. Though he's happy for his wife,Morland squirms when asked his opinion of beauty pageants. "No comment," he said with a grin. Morland flew to Palm Springs with his daughter last Friday. He'll escort Michele through tonight's competition—where she'll be judged on interview,bathing suit and evening gown—before flying back to Toronto tomorrow, the day before the Open. The beauty pageant is admittedly an interruption to his practice schedule,but it's worth it, he said. "It's cheaper than a divorce," he joked. More seriously,Morland said,he owes it to his wife to be with her during her big competition. "She's given me a lot of support over the last four years," he said. "It's my turn to support her." He understands why she wants to be Mrs. America,too. http://www.thestar.com/NASApp/cs/ContentServer?pagename--thestar/Layout/Article Print... 9/9/2004 TheStar.com-DriT en to win on runway,fairway Page 3 of 3 "Attention. Me,ine,me," he said, explaining it's hard being a wife on the PGA Tour when the husbands get all the attention. "This is her turn to shine." Still, he hasn't fxa�-ay made the compromise graciously. "He's tested me a few times," Michele said with a laugh. Her husband asked her at least 15 times when the latest possible date was that he could fly to California. When she finally asked what was up, he confessed he wanted to stay in Canada for the World Cup of Hockey. To help ensure her competition didn't hurt her husband's performance,Michele said she grabbed the microphone during rehearsal the other day and told the other contestants to tell their husbands to bring their golf clubs because she was going to make her hubby practise every day. She's also optimistic that if she wins tonight it will inspire Morland to do his best on the fairways and greens.

I watched the competition with my husband. He went to Public Records work and had his secretary enter me in the competition.When the application was Customer Service accepted, he encouraged me to compete. Since he was encouraging me to do it and my mother was ill and wanted to see me do it, I went ahead. I didn't take it very seriously Contact Us though. Q:What do you remember most about winning? A:Its funny. I was living in San Francisco and the San Francisco Chronicle interviewed me -- -- -.- -- - -! about winning. I told them, "It's not the Nobel Prize.

A It was fun. I really wanted the ladies to be natural. Fifty percent of the competition is based on a 4-minute interview with the judges. I think many of them have prepared a speech and tell you what they want you to hear, but I really enjoyed it when we could just have a conversation and get to know them. The valley was a little more beautiful than usual last month. Not because the summer has been mild. Not because the palm trees were outlined by gorgeous sunsets. From Aug.24 to Sept. 7, 51 women were in town preparing for the Mrs.America Competition.The show was taped on Sept.7, but airs to a nationwide audience at 9 p.m.tonight on PAX TV network. 'To me, beauty is more than perceived looks,"said the host of the show, Florence Henderson. "When you get to know someone who is what society says is beautiful on the outside,they can be very different. On the other hand,someone who doesn't fit the mold of what most think of as beautiful can be wonderful and beautiful when you get to know them." As for the Mrs. America competition that Henderson has hosted for 17 years, she says the 51 contestants fit both definitions of inner and outer beauty. "I love the fact that this competition is married women, many of whom have children. They've paid their dues, many have successful careers and they all take good care of themselves,"said Henderson. When asked if her iconic character Mrs. Brady would have entered a similar pageant, Henderson replied, 'That's a very good question. I think she would have done it and Mike would have encouraged her to." Jenni Simcoe is a features reporter for The Desert Sun and can be reached at 760- 778-1619 or via e-mail.
