High school students have opportunity
to spend academic school year abroad
King and Whitby attend
Hospice Assoc, meeting
Joanne King and Jean Whitby,
representing Wingham & Area
Palliative Care Services recently
attended the regional meeting of
the Community Hospice Associa
tion of Ontario, on Sept. 23 at
London.
The regional meeting covered a
wide variety of topics including
fundraising issues, education and
development needs of community
hospices, and an update on
activities of the provincial
association.
Wingham & Area Palliative Care
Hospice is operating completely as
a volunteer service to the
community without government
funding.
“Qualified high school students
are offered a unique opportunity to
spend an academic year or summer
holiday in Scandinavia, Germany,
France, Switzerland, Czechoslo
vakia, Britain, Holland, Poland,
Spain, Portugal, Italy, Australia,
New Zealand, Japan, United States
or Mexico as part of the ASSE
International Student Exchange
Program,” announced Marta
Senior citizens long for
good old days, survey says
When it comes to shopping for
food and preparing a meal, senior
citizens yearn for the good old
days, say researchers in the
University of Guelph's department
of agricultural economic and
business.
“They're big on conventional
cooking techniques like roasting
and frying, leisurely trips to the
market and small-town conven
iences like easy parking,” says
Francesco Braga, co-author of a
study on the seniors' market with
Ellen Goddard, Tom Funk and
graduate student John Laidlaw.
“And since seniors constitute
Canada’s fastest-growing market -
and sometimes have large
disposable incomes - it's important
for retailers to know what makes
them tick,” Braga says.
To gather information for their
study, the researchers mailed
questionnaires to 500 people aged
50 to 59 and 1,000 aged 60 and
over. The survey was designed to
determine the goods and services
that seniors need and w-ant,
examine when and where they shop
and what they look for in a grocery
store, explore how they prepare
their food and how often they dine
out, and find out why they buy
what they do.
From the surveys, the researchers
found:
• Seniors still prefer traditional
cooking techniques and preparing
their meals from scratch.
• They shun value-added
products such as frozen dinners or
foods that contain too many
additives and salt.
• They're willing to take the time
to make a meal they will enjoy.
• They don't believe price is the
best indicator of quality, nor that
brand-name goods are necessarily
better than generic products.
The study also found that seniors
want competitive pricing and

O'Reilly, Ontario Co-ordinator for
ASSE.
“Until a few years ago, only a
fortunate few could afford to spend
a school year or summer abroad.
Now, ASSE has changed all that,”
continues O'Reilly. Students, 15 to
18-years-old, qualify on the basis
of academic performance, character
references and a genuine desire to
experience life abroad with a
volunteer host family from Europe,
plenty of specials, parking and
cashiers. They like receiving flyers
and coupons and are willing to
make an extra trip tor a bargain.
They also want stores that will
offer them services such as fresh
meat, fish and deli counters,
bakeries and bulk food sections.
More than 75 per cent of the
seniors surveyed said they drive to
do their shopping. “That means
easy parking is an important
consideration in servicing seniors,”
says Braga. They also visit an
average of two stores on their main
shopping trip, with Thursday being
the most popular day for shopping.
This research was supported by
the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture
and Food.

“Academic year students need
not have learned a foreign language
as they receive language and
cultural instruction as part of the
ASSE program. ASSE students
attend regular high school classes
along with their new teenage
friends. Summer exchange students
live with a family abroad who
speak some English. ASSE families
abroad are carefully screened to
provide a caring environment in
which students can learn the
language and culture of their host
country. ASSE exchange students
learn by living the language and
culture of their new host country”
explained O'Reilly.
The non-profit, public benefit
ASSE International Student
Exchange Program is affiliated
with the National Swedish and the
Finnish Departments of Education
and co-operates with the Canadian
Provincial Ministries of Education.
ASSE also provides international
opportunities for families to host
students from Scandinavia, Europe,
Japan, United States, New Zealand,
Australia or Mexico.
