The ten young people and group leader Robin Stanley already feel the bonds of a close-knit family; when the eleventh member dropped out to return to his home in Lon- don, the others reacted as though they had lost a brother. 'Here in Exeter the whole team is your family", Robin remarked. "The neighbours are wonderful, so very helpful,.and two of our spon- sors live within two blocks." The members of the na- tional volunteer youth service program are already well on the way to the goals and pur- poses that initially motivated them to join Katimavik: to work on locally developed projects in cooperation with community organizations to accomplish work which under normal circumstances would not have been undertaken for lack of funds; to experience a simple, physically demanding lifestyle; to practice a con- server lifestyle and learn ap- propriate technology first- hand; to acquire a greater understanding of Canada through travel, and to learn the other official language. Two of the group have been assigned on rotation to household tasks at 313 Carl- ing, two are working at the Rec centre, three with the Ausable-Bayfield Conserva- tion Authority and another three are helping at ARC In- dustries in Dashwood. The group received a valuable " lesson in "ap- propriate technology" at ARC Industries where they literal- ly made their own beds. Under the watchful eyes of ARC instructors, the group built bunk beds for themselves, plus a bed for their leader, a step up from their original sleeping ac- commodations- foam pads on the floor. Manuela Schneider, an RNA from Toronto and dental assistant Tanis Sharpe from Saskatchewan had the task last week of preparing meals for 11 healthy appetites, and sticking to a food budget. of $3.50 per day per person.

The primary aim of the ma- jority of the Katimavik volunteers is learning a se- cond .language. Seventeen- year -old Richard Blain and Rene Laperriere, both from large cities in Quebec, are in a sink -or -swim situation at ARC Industries in Dashwood and doing very well. Aside from English lessons two nights a week, the two young men communicate with high school English and a great many hand signals. ARC Industries employee Harry Stuart confessed he felt very guilty that he could not speak French, and vows he will sign up if a night course in that language is offered this winter. The Katimavik volunteers at ARC have released some of the regular. workers to go to Pinery Park and repaint the picnic tables and allowed the workshop to take on more training jobs like housework for example, it would not otherwise have been able to do. "I can only see benefit com- ing from Katimavik; it makes us realize how unique our country is," Stuart said. Don Campbell, executive director of the South Huron District Association for the Mentally Handicapped, shared Stuart's enthusiasm. "The two Katimavik people who were here last year work- ed out so well we asked for • • our own program this year in cooperation with the town of Exeter and the Ausable- Bayfield Conservation Authority", he explained. Francophones Monique Vincent, 21, from Quebec Ci- ty and Fabien Neron, 18, from the mining town of Chibougamau, are teamed with 20-year.old Jeff Dicker- son from northern Ontario to work with the Conservation Authority. "We got the hardest job but the best one," Jeff claimed after cutting weeds, moving rocks and scraping the con- trol structure of the Parkhill dam. Jeff volunteered for Katimavik to learn French, and to see Canada free; and Fabien and Monique want to travel and learn English. Ted Jones, superintendent of the A -B Authority, said the Katimavik members and the students hired for the sum- mer worked very well together, allaying any misgiv- ings he may have had at first. "Most of the students do a better job than me at speak- ing French," he said. After taking the visitors on a tour of the watershed area, Jones summed up his impres- sion; an interesting group of young people with a little more aggression than some, making possible a nine-month commitment. "I send them out on the job in the morning, and the reports from their super- visors have been positive," he added, stressing the fact that the Katimavik crew are doing work which otherwise would not be done at all for lack of funds and manpower. The Exeter rec centre also has two extra pairs of hands to fill the wading pool, paint bleachers and mow grass. Brenda Stevens, 19, from Windsor and James Boonstra, 17, from Vancouver, are under the supervision of Lynne Farquhar who said, "They are nice, well - motivated kids with a lot go- ing for them." Both Brenda and James ex- pect their experiences during the next nine months will help them make more informed choices for their futures. They are not sure at present what they want to do for the rest of their lives, and in the mean- time, like the others in the group, are making voyages of discovery about their country and themselves. Katimavik is not au work and no play. In the evenings the group study the language in which they are deficient, challenge each other to backgammon games, or frisby contests, travel to folk festivals or just sit around and talk. During the Civic holiday weekend they visited a herbologist, swam in the St. Marys quarry, and saw a dou- ble feature at a local drive-in. The Exeter community will have a chance to get to know these young people better later this summer. Part of the Katimavik program is being billetted individually with families in the community. The group are hoping for in- vitations for the two weeks from September 26 to October 9. (The hosts are paid $6 per day to help with the grocery bill). • • Jeff, who wants to someday have a farm, has already ac- cepted an offer from an area pork producer. Most of the others have definite preferences which they know may not be realized, but there's no harm in hoping. Monique would like to stay with a vet, artistically inclin- ed Brenda with someone in- terested in painting and sket- ching, Tanis and Manuela would prefer spending two weeks on a farm that has horses. and as Richard's dream is to someday be a fireman, a billet with a firefighter would be ideal. James hopes to stay with so- meone associated with ARC Industries. Lori Stewart of Kirkton, a summer employee at ARC, is a Katimavik grad, spending from July 1979 to March 1980 building a solar home in Wolfeville, N.S., working in an integrated nursery at Cache, Alberta and painting murals on the windows of a French elementary school and performing janitorial duties at an arena in Don- naconna and St. Raymond PQ. "It's a great experience travelling, meeting people while being billetted, the vast job experience, becoming so much more aware of things," Lori enthused. "You learn in- dependence, a conserver lifestyle, and more accep- tance for others with different points of view " Katimavik volunteers must have a sense of adventure to volunteer for the program. Of the 7,000 across Canada who applied this year, the dispas- sionate computer selected 1,600 at random, the criteria being a mix of French and English young people from diverse areas of Canada. The group budgets include money for health and nutri- tion, social and cultural ex- cursions, work skills, active leisure, environmental awareness and appropriate technology, language train- ing, rent, furniture, transpor- tation, billetting and groceries. Everything but phone calls is supplied, and each volunteer receives $1 per day spending money (and $1,000 honorarium at the end of the nine months.) The smokers in the Exeter Katimavik group have been reduced to rolling their own cigarettes, but none complain about the lack of funds. "We didn't join for the money" is the standard explanation. The adults working with the Katimavik crew also share a common bond. They all regretted that there was not something like the Katimavik experience in operation when they were young. As Brenda said, "It's great our government helps us do things like this. I don't think there's anything like this anywhere else except maybe the Peace Corps."
