T -A photo Local students enthusiastic Continued from front page placements with the Exeter police and one with the cemetery beard, picked up many skills at the latter while working in the greenhouse and on the grounds that he can apply at his part-time job at a local golf course, especially as he hopes to become a golf course technician. Cemetery supervisor Harry Knip was equally satisfied. He noted in ad- dition that many students face the dilemma of being asked for ex- perience, yet can't get experience un- til someone hires them. The co-op pro- gram is supplying that vifal requirement. SHDHS guidance head Rick Graham said he couldn't say enough good about the employers. All were co-operative at the start, and became increasingly ' enthusiastic. Original participants not ineritioned previous- ly included the Exeter municipal of- fice, the building inspector's depart- ment, the Exeter Times -Advocate, Canadian Tire, Zurich Dental Associates, Exeter Public School and SHDHS in the office, Huron Hope Room 110 and on the school yearbook: Other participating students were Rita Denomme, Marianne Hendriks, Bernadette Masse, Julie McBride, Jeff Miller, Tammy O'Brien, Lori Rau, Susanne Smith and Brenda Wilson. Graham first brought the idea of a co-op program to SHDHS Principal Bruce Shaw in the spring of 1985. It was well received. • HOSPITAL PLACEMENT — Karen Dietrich (right) worked in both the dietery and library departments at South Huron Hospital during placements as part of the coop program at SHDHS.

PACKING BAGS — On her final job placement at Ellison Travel, SHDHS cp-op student Donna Taylor (right) helps Leigh Anne Darling put together tour packages for travellers headed to Expo. "Shaw trusts us as teachers and he encourages initiative. If we go in with an idea and it sounds good, he says 'go for it', and then gives his support," Grahani explained. . Shaw and Graham drafted the Pro - grant, which became a pilot project for Huron County. The co-op program began and ended in the classroom. In between were three eight-week placements. Students spent half of each day during this time on the job, and the other half at SHDHS on their regular study course. The program gave each participant the equivalent of three months of work experience. - WO fines Twelve students were chosen from the applications submitted, and each had three placements during the for woman 1985-86 school term, which will count as three academic credits.

The accused was given five tnths in which to pay the fines. The minimum fines of $250 were levied against two other drivers who pleaded guilty to driving while their licenses were under suspension. Paul Bradley Grove, RR 1 Brucefield, was charged on April 28 after it was found his license had been suspended on December 6 for unpaid fines. He was given five months in which to pay and had his suspension extend- ed for six months. Jude M. Myers, 11 Kent Lane, Stratford, was charged on April 26 and it was found that her license had also been suspended for unpaid fines. She too was given a further six month suspension and five months in which to pay the fine. Two men who failed to submit their vehicles for ministry of transporta- tion and communications safety lane checks in Exeter after being given notices to do so, both pleaded guilty to the charge. Max Wndsor, 73 Sanders St. W., Exeter, Was fined $23.75, while Den- nis S. Dietrich, RR 3 Dashwood, was fined $53.75. Windsor was given 30 days to pay and the Dashwood man was given 15 days. Windsor told the court he had forgotten about the notice to appear at the safety check because he had to take his wife to hospital in London. The court learned he had turned the plates for his vehicle into the ministry. Dietrich said he had been advised he didn't have to go to the safety lanes because he had his vehicle privately safety checked and took the safety certificate to the Exeter police office. However, evidence was given that he was told that he still had to take his vehicle in for inspection and he had failed to do so. In the only other case, Edward G. Totten, 99 Main St., Exeter, was con- victed of driving at a speed of 109 in an 80 km. zone on April 13 and was fin- ed $47.25. Both Totten and a passenger in his vehicle testified they were travelling at only 80 km. per hour and suggelited that the radar had picked up another fast-moving vehicle which had pass- ed them in the opposite direction prior to being stopped by the investigating officer.

She is shown with chief x-ray technician Tom Bowen and technologist Yvonne Benninger. 4 Graham confessed the program's sucess exceeded even his high hopes and expectations. He watched proud- ly as some shy, uncertain young peo- ple gained poise and self-confidence, while others honed their social and oc- cupational skills. "This fits my overall view of guidance, which is often perceived as solely reactive, a wallflower waiting to be asked. Guidance should reach out to the kids, and play an active role in all aspects of school life," Graham concluded. Expanded Continued from front page quired on a job, or any other needs that might otherwise place a financial obstacle in the way of a student wishing to take part in the program. McCall is excited about the impact the co-op education program will have on the county. The total cost has been estimated at $403 per student. This will be a bargain if it equips over 400 young people to enter their chosen fields with confidence and expertise, and builds a mutually beneficial part- nership between businesses and schools in communities in Huron County. Ask questions about library Noting that some Exeter residents have "voiced concern about the change and the uncertainty of the new system", council have directed some questions pertaining to the prtposal to dissolve the Huron,County library board by way of a Private Members Bill. ' Acting on the recommendation of the- executive committee, council agreed to forward a letter to the of- fice of the clerk of the Legislative Assembly asking for confirmation that provincial funding for the Huron library system, when it becomes a committee of council through the Private Members bill, would be the same as under the Public Libraries Act. The committee noted that the Bill does not mention funding. Council will also express concern "for potential problems of accessibili- ty and input by local users" because of the size of the proposed new board which would Include 30 members of county crouncil.
