Agriculture and Food Minister Jack Rid- dell said that a project of the Huron County Board of Education had been selected. The project is a rural school board plan to meet strong links with CEIC, CAAT, Futures, social agencies, local business and industry ; and alternative programs in secondary school that include continuous intake, individualized program and development of learning materials. The 12 projects, which were selected from a total of 75 submissions, will be published and circulated to school boards across Ontario., Projects selected contain: Dropout prevention programs for students at risk, including visible minorities and Native people; re-entry programs for those who have already left school; and counselling programs focuss- ing on career planning and transition to the work place. "We believe that the intervention strategies contained m the pilot projects will assist Ontario school boards in significantly lowering the dropout rate across the province," Ward said. He added that the new initiative coupled with two additional broad-based undertak- ings, the Ties to Business and Industry In- centive Fund and co-operative education, are striving to create a varied and respon- sive educational system m Ontario that is equally relevant to the student pursuing postsecondary education or the student embarking on another career path. "We believe that initiatives such as these stimulate students' interest m school by increasing their desire to complete their studies, " Ward said. Ward said that he was looking forward to releasing the work of George Radwanski. In March of this year, Radwanski was ap- pointed to unearth ways of making On- tario's education system more relevant to the needs of young people and to the realities of the market. "I am confident that the work of our Stu- dent Retention and Transition Pilot Pro- jects, coupled with our other endeavours in conjunction with Radwanski's report, will enable us to construct solid and useful strategies to reduce the dropout rate from our schools," he said. to Peter Shephard,li<'esident of the Goderich Lions Club (right) presents the Easter Seals Service Award b Richard Wendler.

Spooner) Elevators has successful year Goderich Elevators Limited President George Parson) said the company ex- perienced an average year of shipping and handling, but we which saw a pattern change in the mx of grains handled. "Goderich El:vators serves two func- tions," he said "We bring in Western grain and truck t out to milling operations within a radius of 100 kilometres of the port. Secondly, vestore Ontario wheat for shipment oversea" While the tot' handling of grain was comparable to hsfyear's volume, Ontario wheat volume wad down about 60,000 tons because of wedler and other crop dif- ficulties. While to red wheat crop in On- tario did not maeTialize in quantity, it did reach its objectkein quality and Goderich Elevators belieteit was well received by the milling indurty. "We fortunablt had an increase of Western wheat ail this balanced out total volume for the year," Parsons said. The total corr forage in Goderieh and Port Colborne is expected to equal or ',slightly exceed last year. In addition, both the Goderich and Port Colborne operations will load corn vessels for movement out of Ontario. In November, Goderich Elevators completed loading the Selkirk Settler with 13,000 metric tonnes of corn. "The marine engineer strike, in Oc- tober, had no effect on ships docked at or coming into Goderich," Parsons said. Goderieh Elevators Limited's con- solidated net income for 1987 was $524,265 ($1.56 per share). About $90,000 was ex- pended in capital outlays. The company continues to bring cost saving measures, in administration and labour, into effect. Concerning shipping and free trade, Parsons said, "I don't think that changes in shipping regulations under the agree- ment will have much, if any, effect on ship- ping operations in Goderich. At any rate, we will have to wait awhile because the full impact of any changes won't be seen until a few years down the road." Very Personal Gift Suggestions Made by you or for you.
