Continuing an ongoing twin -city exchange
program between Seaforth and West
Branch, Michigan, a group of 16 students
from Ogemaw Heights High School spent a
few days in the area last week, learning
about agricultural and rural area life in
Southwestern Ontario.
The students hail from the West ':,ranch
and Rose City, Michigan area north of
• Saginaw, a combined population of about
3,i r11, and are all members of the Future
Farmers of America organization' at their
high school. The FFA, which boasts over
40 members within the school, is an
agricultural club for students from grades
9 to 12, It runs along the same lines as the
Ontario Junior Farmer's, but is based out
of the schools.
"Some of the other kids will make fun of
it," noted exchange student Brian Schalau,
but added that he very much enjoys the
organization and the chance to take part in
events like the Seaforth exchange.
The group spent two days last week
touring the Hensall Co -Op and visiting the
Con Eckert farm north of Seaforth, taking
in the day- to -day operation of the dairy
farm. The air was thick with questions
about dairy herd management and farming
in Ontario.
We have a Barge selection of Current Movies & Nintendo Games
the West Branch and Seaforth Optimist
Clubs along with the Seaforth Recreation
Department. The West Branch - Seaforth
exchange was initially started up about 10
years ago, but died out for a numbe>•, of
yeaks before it was kick-started hack to
life again in 1985. Since 'that thine, a Can -
Am sports exchange program has taken
place every summer, and the student ex-
change was introduced last year. In 1989,
a contingent of West Branch student coun-
cil members were hosted by Seaforth.
"This is much more educational for the
kids," Mr. Watson pointed out. "The two
Optimist clubs, we're so turned on by this
exchange."
"This has given us a chance to do
something for the teenagers," he added,
noting that the older students are often a
little harder to entertain, and challenge,
than the younger groups. The agricultural
flavor to the exchange was a new idea for
this year, and it seems to be going over
well. Seaforth students involved in the pro-
gram are looking forward enthusiastically
to the Michigan jaunt.
"It's an excellent time, a really good
program," remarked Jonathon Wheatley.
Tina Bosman agreed, adding that she
"can't wait" to visit the group in West
ranch."This is what it's all about," noted West exchange famie lies inents bihet Seafo out with
and
Branch Optimist Club member Larry Wat- Michigan, and parties had already been
son. "Communication and comparison bet- planned by the time the group left the
ween the two countries." Eckert farm on Thursday afternoon.
