Exeter Student
Employment Centre opens
By Catherine O'Brien

EXETER - The Canada Employ-
ment Centre for Students opened
last week in Exeter and the place-
ment officer is optimistic new ap-
proaches will aid students with
their job search.
More than 30 students have regis-
tered since the May 5 opening and
200 more are expected by the time
the high school term ends.
"This year we are trying to focus
on employers using the service;'
said Jennifer Jewitt, student place-
ment officer. .
Not only is the centre encourag-
ing traditional businesses to regis-
ter, but those who may have odd
jobs that would employ a student
for a few hours or days.
Homeowners who need their dog
walked, grass cut or any casual job
are also encouraged to register, 7e -e,
wiu said.
Many students will be depending
on several temporary jobs because
there are so few summer prospects,
she said. "A lot of students are anx-
ious to find work and are content to
do odd jobs."
Last year was a discouraging
tirr for students, she said, because
of the recession and poor weather.
"Farm jobs were a month behind
because there was so much rain.
"So far it's looking hopeful." Je-
witt said.
The centre will be contacting lo-
cal businesses to discuss their sum-
mer employment needs and keep
businesses informed on the availa-
bility of students.
"We will refer qualified students
to specific employers who don'.
want to bombarded with . applica-
tions," Jewitt said.
The centre will also provide. stu-
dents with information and guid-
ance on how to conduct a produc-
tive job search, resume writing and
interviewing skills
"Today you have to be more re-
sourceful and well polished in your
job search approach," she said .
The Centre will be open until the
middle of August.

Rob McFarlane of Grand Bend Marine watches as Power 8oating Canada puts one of his
dealership's boats through its paces Friday afternoon.
Grand Bend site for
national power boMaI
GRAND BEND - The weather Friday afternoon
couldn't have been any more perfect for taking
three-quarter of a million dollars worth of boats out
to play on the waters of Lake Huron.
If you happened to see three large power boats
blasting around just offshore from the Grand Bend
harbour Friday, you were witnessing the test of a
new class of boat and their engines for a national
' magazine. Doug Dawson of Power Boating Canada
was pitting two versions of the Four Winns Express
Cruiser, one with gasoline engines versus the same
boat with diesel engines. A .third boat was used by
the magazine's photographer to capture the trials on
film.
The boats were borrowed from Grand Bend Ma-
rine, now considered the largest Four Winns dealer
in Canada, and largest dealer of the company's
bigger boats in the world.
Dr. Ken Roberts, the owner of Grand Bend Ma-
rine, said:he has been amazed by the growth of the
dealership which first opened its doors in 1988.
"To be :the world's largest in this little town of
seven or eight hundred is amazing," said Roberts.
Norm Rosen, photographer for the magazine, said
the weather and scenery of Grand Bend promised
some good photographs, although he narrowly
missed getting tipped overboard by the wash from
the two test boats buzzing the bow on which he was
standing.
He said Grand Bend Marine was chosen for the
test because of the availability of the test boats and
a photogenic location to run them.
"It gives us a unique opportunity to sec the two
boats at the same place, the same time," said Rosen.
The "express cruiser" is an up-and-coming class
of luxury power boat on the market. The ones test -
.:ed were 39 feet in length, but with a more sporty
:styling than a traditional cabin cruiser - but they are
still available with a built-in hot tub. •
The price? The gasoline engined cruiser costs
about $235,000. Set aside about $40,000 more for
the optional diesel engines.
Which boat won the performance est? Well, you
will have to wait for the June issue bf Power Boat-
ing Canada to find out.

By Catherine O'Brien

EXETER Many people are in
search of the
perfect job -
Scott Lovie
decided to
create one.
It began at
d his sister's wed-
ding in the
summer of 1991 when Lovie of-
fered to prepare the food. He was
surprised at the number of rave re-
views from the guests.
Now Lovie has a Food Frenzy.
That's the name of this newly
formed catering business where he
personally makes homemade
soups, sauces. entrees and desserts.
For 13 years Lovie has waked
in Exeter, London, Guelph, Barrie
and Toronto at hotels and restau-
rants.
He began as a dishwasher and
worked his way up to sous chef.
"I've learned about food cost, sup-
ply, transportation. and what peo-
ple need,", Lovie said of his past
experience$.
He has also helped prepared
food for the likes of Wayne Gretz-
.key, comedy actor John Candy,
bind former Ontario premier David
2Aeterson at functions ranging from
9S )eople to ).
• `The South t-iuron District High
School graduate is slowly getting
his feet wet in the catering busi-
ness. Lovie feels he is being realis-
tic by starting out small. "The ad-
vantage is you can stay
competitive because overhead is
low."
His selling points are a high
quality product with good presen-
tation at reasonable prices. "Many
people don't have the money right
now to be extravagant, but that
doesn't mean they can't have quali-
ty."
So far business has been in the
area of weddings and anniversary
parties, but he sees a wide variety
of opportunities with garden par-
ties, retirement parties and general
get togethers.
"We will do sit down service,
buffet, full course meals to mid-
night snacks. Whatever the cus-
tomer wants and feels is within
their budget".
Starting his own business, Lovie
said, basically means being mar-
ried to the job, "but it's the oppor-
tunity I look forward to."
