Some are also very good at hiding their literacy difficulties but as our society becomes more dominated by print, they find themselves at an increasing disadvantage. For- tunately, it's never too late to learn! To meet this need, community literacy programs are available all over Bruce County, matching learners with volunteer tutors. the purpose of community literacy programs is to help people build on learning a non -threatening and rewarding experience. The beauty of community literacy programs is that there is no set course that a learner must take. Once the learner and tutor have identified what skills need work, they can•concentrate on those specific areas to satisfy the learner's personal goal whether a be to finish a high school degree, learn to write a cheque or read to their children or grandchildren. Fortunately, it's never too late to learn! If you know someone who could benefit from a 'literacy' Schools recycled 150 tons The Bruce Area , Solid Waste Recycling 'Association Inc. wel- comes students, teachers and ad- mitfistrative staff to another year of recycling. The Bruce County Board of Education has been recycling very successfully since March of 1992, and in that 18 months diverted over 150 tons of landfill. This 150 tons consisted primarily of fine white paper and cans, al- though some of the schools also recycle glass, plastic and newspaper. It is clear from this that teachers are striving to reuse many items for crafts and classroom containers. Families have also shown great initiative by packing "garbageless" lunches in reusable containers. Another benefit of reusable con- tainers is that they allow students to Recycling News take organic food, waste, such as apple cores, home for composting. Some schools even have their own composting programs. Many schools toured the recycling facility to see the equipment and • baled material.

Venturi~ capital funding, in his view, could boost business interest in- "areas where o mgs s and can compete" like manufac- turing our own secondary products from our own natural resources and employing Canadians to work in farmers' fields instead of foreigners. "They must go to work and not go on welfare," he said. Steckle and the Liberal party believe they can cut the deficit and stimulate the economy. "But in a managed way so we're not further into unemployment," he said. Over the next four years, , the Liberals plan to reduce the ratio of deficit to Gross Domestic Product to three per cent from 5.2 percent, FERYILIZERS Ailsa Craig Mitchell Port Albert Hensel!

"We can't reduce the deficit to the degree (other parties suggest) because (it would cause) too much unemployment," said Steckle. Stimulating the economy, will require federal dollars plus government programs like New Ventures to encourage banks to lend more money. "We need an attitude change. It's so cynical now and they (voters) don't betieve the politicians," he said. "That will change once people learn where we're at in the Liberal agenda." Steckle believes the nation is. returning to the work ethic of the past -• work longer, harder and cheaper. Both the Canada -U.S. free trade deal and the North American Free radeAgreement_(NAETA)should, in part, be renegotiated, says Steck- le. He blames the Americans for dictating terms of the agreement regarding pork, lumber and beer; and complains the U.S. appeals too many decisions won by Canada. "They will always tight to win," he said. - Steckle said the NAFTA treaty was "inevitable" but wonders why Canada rushed its approval. "Who got short-changed on this?" he asked, If elected to Serve the next four years, Steclde would like to change the attitude and work' ethic of Huron and Bruce County residents. He would also like to win some bonuses for the homemaker, Male, or female, Steckle believes the homemaker should be able to draw from the Canada Pension Plan at retirement. Steckle also sees 'a bright future for the area in the Bruce Energy Centre, north of Kincardine. He sees, jobs being created in new businesses manufacturing ethanol, methanol and either products grown by local farmers. "Huron -Bruce has a lot of poten- tial," he said.
