They are for Leeds and Grenville and Stormont and Dundas. Since so many people were in Eastern Ontario before coming to this area, these books can be helpful. A letter had been received from Irene Robertson Crawford of Moncton with infor- mation on her Colwell -Stewart ancestors. Since 'Kincardine Twp. is working on a history, all this information is valuable. In this connection, members spent time at clip- ping, copying, and pasting data from scrap- books on loan.

The pro- gram started June 27 and will run until August 19. 'This provincially funded program tries to combine a working experience with a learning one. The main goal of the pro- gram is to allow the students to acquaint themselves with the actual operation, pro- grams and projects of the M.V.C.A. The main emphasis is on conservation and resource management (such as stream - bank and erosion control, forest manage- ment, wildlife habitat and interpretive trail development) but the students will also participate in the daily operation and maintenance of the Authority's Conserva- tion Areas. The Experience '88 Program Co- ordinator's position is filled this year by Cynthia Purvis who is presently residing near Ethel. Her duties include clerical and office duties, hiring the students and organizing them. She is considered an in- termediate between the Experience '88 crew and the rest of the Authority staff. Her work term started on May 9 and will run for 16 weeks to finish August 26. Fall Reserve Conservation Area outside of Benmiller is employing three of the seven Experience '88 crew. Suzanne Walker of Clinton, Frances Greidanus of Londesborough and Darlene Buffinga, also of the Londesborough area, will be work- ing at tlie park doing gatekeeping as well as general maintenance. Three other Experience '88 crew members will be working out of the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority headquarters, in Wroxeter; Frances Smith of Brussels, Marlene Coulter of Gor- rie and Charlotte Brubacher also from the Gorrie area. These three students will be periodically joined by the Galbraith Con- servation Area Park Assistant, Mike Grant of Listowel. He will spend most of his time at Galbraith Conservation Area assisting the park supervisor with park ad- misions and general maintenance, but will carry out the same duties as the rest of the Experience crew when in. Wroxeter. In addition to their regular duties, the crew at M.V.C.A. will al5 +' ,,cipate in education days. An orientation session was held on the first day of work. The students Were allowed to get acquainted with each other, the Authority staff and the area within the waters, ed. With the help of slide shows, films and safety deinonstratiun students were able to feel more comfor table and confident with th( surroun- dings. A second education du, will include the crew taking a Red Cross First Aid Course. The course will provide the studer s with the ability to cope with emerg nt> situations and to ensure a safe summer for park patrons and themselves. A tour of various sites and projects in. the watershed will be held soon after the pro- gram has started and a further education day is scheduled for later on in the summer. The M.V.C.A. has been an active part in the Experience Program since 1975 and has employed over 160 students. Addressing the needs HURON COUNTY - Since May of 1985, a steering committee involved with address- ing the needs of Alzheimer's patients in this county has been meeting. Over the past months, this committee has scheduled an information meeting, printed a pamphlet listing resources available for the family of Alzheimer's pa- tients and are planning for a future workshop for caregivers. Presently, the committee is striving to achieve affiliate status with the Alzheimer's Soceity of Ontario. The goals of the society are education, public infor- mation, fund raising and fainily support. They need many volunteers to help meet these goals. Much of the ground work has already been covered, but now the committee needs individuals with, or interested in Alzheimer's Disease patients to join.
