Agricrew provides interested youth with employment in the agricultural sector as well as affordable assistance to farmers on a daily basis June through August. Susan Diemert and Donna Kieffer are responsi- ble for the program in Huron County. They have four crews of four students and as of late July have helped nearly 60 farmers in the area. The primary objective of the CECS is twofold - to assist students in their job search and to help employers in obtaining summer help. There are two offices in the county - Exeter and Goderich. The centres are staffed by Janice Dunbar, Supervisor and four Student Placement Officers - Lynne Dodds, Dave MacDonald, Sandra Datars, and Janice Robinson. The CECS, while it services all area in- dustries, has made agriculture its target industry for 1987. Students are the ideal labour force in an industry that is busiest during the summer months. Of the 1560 placements (one job for one person) recorded to date for the CECS, over 900 have been in the agricultural industry. Students and agricultural employers have two services available to help them - the CECS and Agricrew. The success of these programs is due to the growing awareness and support by the community. Thanks for a great summer! 4 > ' tPDYMM/T CE4/rREFOR .91VDENr, r to 471 Goderaeb 52'l 2744, u€r Nearly 60 farmers in the area have taken advantage of the Agricrew program sponsored by the Ministry .of Agriculture and Food which provides some farm -related experience and summer work for area students.

Some of the people responsible for those placements are: Lynne Dodds, Sue Diemert, Janice Dunbar, Donna Kieffer and Dave MacDonald. Time changes Little Lakes area Last week, a young couple and their two little boys were with us for a few hours. The littlest fellow, Cody, was about 21/2 -years -old and was a going concern, believe me. I took them all over town -they were most impress- ed with our beaches, especially the "Florida" beach where wide waves roll in. You couldn't park near the shore but as soon as I stopped the car, little Cody was out and running over those stones and up to his arm- pits in water before anyone. He was having a great time. I'm sure he will be swimming in a very short time. The other boy had a bandage over his"elbow and was not to get it wet, but' , he still thought it was great. In the cool days ..to come -I hope they can finish working on the beach-since,it will be the family favorite. The crowds were unbelievable. Little Cody found the prettiest stones, ran all over the beach and never slowed down, all day. He asked questions about everything -even, "Why were they pushing sand up the hill when it will just slide down again." I couldn't believe it. He asked question after question, listened to your answer and seemed to think things over. His replies to questions were clear and matter-of-fact. I was really surprised. Some kids are really amazing. I am now one of his "best friends." On getting ready to leave, he kept running back to give me that last hug and quick kiss: A show-off. No, just a real nice kid'. Well, I finally made it to the Little Lakes. ROUND 'N ABOUT With NVIerthe Rathburrt Late in the afternoon, I decided I had to go out there. I was working on a painting of the lakes from one I had done years ago. Things change so much in a few years, I find I will have to go and do another painting -although people like the old `one. •It takes about 15 minute to' get to the lakes. Once you turn right at the little church in Benmiller, carry on to the end of the road, turn right, then right again on a gravel road near the Zon- neveldt barn. Keep on down the road which takes you up and down so many times you wonder if you are on the right road. When you see the sign Tom Moore, you are OK. keep going. The ups and downs are in- teresting. Suddenly you have a big dip ahead of you -this brings you into a grove of the biggest, oldest maple trees you've been under in years. And the coolest. There, at the trees, is a little house, garage and the barn is down below -you have to drive into this driveway to really appreciate the view. I did. This is where the geese lived but I didn't Being a volunteer is I have now been writing this column for two months, and I feel that you, the readers have become more aware of volunteer organizations and their events in our community. I appreciate the phone calls and comments I have received dur- ing this time. I am now preparing my fall agenda and I would really like to hear from volunteer groups that would like to be featured in this .column. Maybe you are wondering how I have chosen those that have been already featured? I have always been an avid newspaper reader, and I usually pick a group that is advertising their event. I try to contact that group - sometimes with difficulty, to gather accurate infor- mation and to put a particular slant to see any. I looked towards the cornfield but there was no sign of them. They chased me for several years and that was exciting. I'm scared stiff of geese -they are guard geese and will attack. Make a sharp turn, then another downhill. It's all downhill from there. The first one, under those big trees, is the one you must watch, so be alert. There are many ups 'n downs before you see the turn into the Little Lakes. I was surprised how high. the road seemed above the lakes but, perhaps, the water was low. Trees, trees, trees hide everything now but keep going, it levels off. The lake on the right seemed lower than usual. Lots of water fillies -now also in the lake on the left. This ogle, now, seemed bigger than ever. The stumps are fewer, things surely change each year. Hard to believe, since it had look- ed pretty much the same for years. Whefi they rebuilt that road, that's when things I changed. They scared away the turtles,'I think. There must be other things now that are interesting. There is a spot where you can stop and relax -perhaps take a wall in the woods -don't dig up any wild flower if there are any. Just 'relax and enjoy. On. the way back, don't turn at the crossroads or you will be miles from home on Highway 21. Just keep straight ahead and you will be on the top of the hill looking down on a -lovely scene and you are on your way home., Enjoy, love Martha. rewarding work VOLUNTARILY SPEAKING By Shelley Hartman the column. This is now where I would really like to see the volunteer organiza- tions become involved. If you would like to see your group profiled in this column, please submit your group's name, con- tact person and phone number and I • would be happy to oblige. Mail the infor- mation c/o myself, R.R. 3, Goderich. At present, I volunteer my time bet- ween eight groups or organizations. I have ifound being a volunteer has made my life quite satisfying, and I have met some very interesting people,, learned some needed skills and enhanced others. and have gained a sense of accomplish- ment. Being a volunteetr is rewarding! In writing this column, I have hoped that it would encourage others to become involved with a particular group or par- ticipate in their event. Making the com- munity more aware of the volunteer organizations was the main focus of this column and yes, I think it is succeeding. With your help I hope that I will become more receptive to the community in en- couraging others to participate with local volunteer groups.
