Deleting a Single Page in Pages '09

I created a two-page text document in Pages '09 with headers/footers and Pages added a THIRD blank page (with header/footer) that I DO NOT WANT. When I attempt to delete a page, the ONLY option Pages gives me is to delete ALL THREE PAGES. Is the any way that just a SINGLE page can be deleted? Thanks so much for letting me know because this is SO FRUSTRATING!!!

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Pages doesn't "see" a page as you & I do. Pages sees logical pages, separated by section breaks, rather than physical pages. You can see this by showing thumbnails, View > Show Page Thumbnails, & then clicking on a page thumbnail. The yellow border around groups of pages shows the logical page. You need to insert section breaks before & after the physical pages to separate them. Then, with the cursor in the body of page three, use the section tab of the layout inspector & uncheck user previous headers & footers.
