Students honored for 60 hours
By David Emslie
CLINTON -"Work ain't easy. It was pret-
ty hard out there, and fun," concluded Willie
Campbell on two hard spent weeks of
volunteer work carried out at the Hullett
Conservation Area.
Willie, along with nine of his Clinton
Public School students and his teacher, Vito
Stecca, received a volunteer service award
from Bob Burger, the Deputy Minister for
the Ministry of Natural Resources on May 8.
They received the award after 10 six hour
days at the conservation area. Their work
consisted of varying jobs including cleaning
up the refuse from around the area, pruning
hedgerows, helping to build Wood Duck
nesting boxes and Bluebird nesting boxes,
collecting pheasant eggs and planting trees.
"We packed a lot in, there was a lot of
work done in. those two weeks," Mr. Stecca
said.
He noted that the purpose of their Work
from his point of view was, "it's work ex-
perience, all kids need experience. They
learned to take instrucions and good work
habits. At the same time they were learning
a lot about the management of the wildlife
area and about the environment in
general." -
While it was a learning experience, the
students soon formed opinions of what jobs
they liked.
One of the students, Sam Grigg, said that
his favorite job was, "going around cleaning
up the parking lots, going around the whole
thing."
On the other hand, there were also those
jobs that weren't quite so fun. "Pruning
hedges I didn't enjoy; especially the rose
bushes," Willie said.
The project definitely had its effect on the ..
students. Sam explained that it made him
want to learn how wildlife was managed,
and both students expressed the wish to
return to the area once the pheasants hatch.
At the same time the students learned a
bit about respecting other people's proper-
ty. While working at the area they
discovered that an area they had cleaned up
work
Vito Stecca (back left) and his class from Clinton Public School were honored on May 8
for volunteer work they carried out at the Hullett Conservation Area. They were
presented with a plaque from the assistant deputy minister for the Ministry of Natural
Resources, Bob Burger (right). The students that were honored were (back, left) Pierre
Belair, Sam Grigg, Chris Roloson, Kelly White and Julie Hallam. In the front (left) they
are Shawn Verwey, Willie Campbell, Patricia Kelly, Jeremy Snell and Bill Roloson.

had later been vandalized.
"I didn't think it was very nice. We took
the time to clean it up and they go and wreck
it," Willie said.
The students, however, weren't the only
ones to benefit from the project. According
to Glen Sturgeon, conservation officer -
manager for the area, his employess at the
More than 1,300
attend Wintario
Thursday night's live Wintario draw was
held in Hensall and was sponsored by the•
Kinsmen Club of Hensall.
Approximately 1,300 people showed up to
be entertained and were not disappointed.
As well, some local people enjoyed their mo-
ment in the spotlight, however brief it was.
Proceeds from the evening will be used in
the community, particularly to benefit
minor athletics.
Congratulations to Lil Baker who was
lucky enough to win $1000, at the live draw-
ing and was chosen to "push the button" as
a good luck charm to other hopeful winners.
Especially interesting was the one minute
vignette on the host community of Hensall
which .was viewed by people all over Ontario
and showed highlights of the Village.
Shots were included of local industry and
businesses as well as some well -kept stately
homes. The short piece was well produced
and should have made all proud of the uni-
que and thriving community. Well done,
Hensall!
