Rural youth to gain
from new alliance
The Ontario 4-H Council, the
Junior Farmers Association of
Ontario (JFAO) and the Rural
Youth Employment Network
(RYEN) have joined forces to
create seven new rural youth co
ordinator (RYC) positions
throughout Ontario. The RYCs
will be working regionally to
improve communications, increase
awareness and effectiveness of
these three programs.
Murray Needham, a native of
Bruce County, has been chosen to
represent Grey, Bruce, Huron and
Perth Counties.
The 4-H program in Ontario has
continuing success in fostering the
personal development of youth.
Clubs, leadership camps, exchange
opportunities and workshops help
members to develop leadership
skills, confidence building and goal
setting. Needham will provide a
role with 4-H geared towards
capacity building and help to create
strategic alliances with other
organizations.
The Junior Farmer Association of
Ontario has been creating rural
leaders in Ontario through self help
and community betterment since
1944. The J.F. program is for youth
between the ages of 15 to 29. It
provides youth an opportunity for
networking to learn leadership
skills, be part of national and
international exchanges and helps
youth improve the community in
which they live, the RYC will help
enhance this organization by being
another voice in the community to
increase awareness.
RYEN is a job recruitment and
training website for rural Ontario
youth. This user friendly website
was developed by
tdgINTERACTIVE. Its project
partners include: the Ontario 4-H
Council: Canadian Agricareers;
Bestard Agricultural Placements;
and the Rural Jobs Strategy fund.
Murray will be actively training
youth and employers to utilize this
service. Volunteer organizations
looking for youth volunteers are
also welcome to register on this
website, (ruraljobs.com)

Gould was an atypical who gave
up public performances early in his
career in order to devote his
creative genius to recordings, radio
and television programs and
selected print media. During 23
years of recording sessions Gould
was frequently confronted by the
camera of Don Hunstein, a New
York photographer for Columbia
"We are glad to have Murray on
board. He was chosen due to his
extensive experience with
agricultural organizations in the
four counties he will be covering”
said Lucy Duke, manager of the
Ontario 4-H program which will be
administering the RYC positions.
"Murray will be kept busy covering
a territory extending from
Tobermory to Kirkton. The next
year will prove interesting for him
as the three organizations go
through this one-year pilot project
to help enhance and improve their
position in the community," she
adds.
Needham has had 19 years
combined experience in both 4-H
and Junior Farmers programs. He
has also been involved in many
ways promoting youth employment
programs in rural areas.
"Junior Farmers and 4-H in my
opinion are great opportunities for
youth and can never be promoted
enough. When these organizations
are included with the newly formed
Rural Youth Employment Network
it will be a great service to youth in
Grey, Bruce, Huron and Perth
Counties," said Needham.
This project has received funding
from Human Resources Develop
ment Canada and is the only one of
its kind in the country. It is
expected to have great results. If
you wish to learn more about
Junior Farmers and 4-H or would
like a training session with RYEN,
please contact Murray at any of the

Records (now Sony Classical), the
label for which Gould recorded. A
remarkable relationship developed
between the two men as Gould
came to realize that he could
express himself not only at the
keyboard but also in front of the
lens.
The Hunstein Variations: A
Photographic Record of Glenn
Gould 1957 - 1980 is the synthesis
of this period of portraiture and
personal association.
The collection of 28 photographs
reveals the musician’s passions and
personality like a map of his life.
Gould’s youthful lean figure
changes with age, but his eyes
remain sly and saintly and the
outline of the awkward hunch with
which he approached the piano
stays constant.
The Hunstein Variations derives
its name from the title of The
Goldberg Variations, that
composition by Johann Sebastian
Bach with which Gould is so
famously associated. The
exhibition was organized in 1992
by Canada’s Glenn Gould
Foundation to mark the pianist’s
60th birthday year.
