She also said that there seems to be more respect for her position. Mark Becker, Chief Administrative Officer for ACW, said that the summer student program is a great one. “It’s a wonderful program that we are able to do through Canada Summer Jobs,” he said. “We’ve applied successfully for funds for the position for four years now, but the funds aren’t really what makes it worthwhile.” Becker explained that having another hand around the office during the summer is a great help, and, even if they didn’t receive funding from the government, he would probably still try to continue the program. Becker said that having an extra employee around for when people take vacation is great as well. Some students find their calling through the co-op program as well, and return to the place they interned at like Jennifer Jerry. Jerry was the co-op student in ACW three years ago, and has since returned for a full-time job. Becker also stated that the experience looks good on a résumé regardless of what field people go into. Cameron echoed that sentiment, stating that her experience with taxes provides good work experience. The program runs until August 28. After her last year at school, Cameron plans on applying to teachers’ college and occupational therapy programs. Membership drive for community centre The community extends sincere sympathy to Dwight, Janice and Dawson Hallahan in the sudden loss of Logan, a dear son and brother and to all the Hallahan families. Calvin Brick UCW’s annual summer outing is on August 19.

A membership drive is underwayfor the new non-profit corporationrunning the Belgrave Community Centre, Morris-Turnberry councilwas told at its meeting in late June.Councillor Paul Gowing, serving as chair of the board of the Centre,along with Neil Vincent, vice-chair(who is also Reeve of North Huron)and Muriel Coultes, brought councilup to date with the new organization.Gowing explained that membershipsat $5 each are being sold to create a list of members. Later, at an annual meeting, those members will elect the ongoing board to operate the centre. The organizing board is seeking an operations manager to oversee the facility’s ongoing operation. Gowing explained that the corporation pays $1,000 rent a month to North Huron for the use of the facility, but the Township also provides a donation of $34,000 a year for operation, indexed to the cost of living, and $10,000 forcapital improvements.Morris-Turnberry provided a grantof $20,000 in its 2010 budget andlast year also gave that amount foroperating, plus $20,000 to theBelgrave Kinsmen for arena improvements. While praising the North Huron donation, Gowing said “it’s not enough by any means for the costs (of running the facility) to meet the standards of the day”. That’s why the board will be doing fundraising to make up the difference. “Community involvement is needed,” he said. “I see that as a good thing. If people know they have to be involved to make it go it will stay strong.” Fore!
