Canada Employment and Immigration pays wages and benefits for the women attempting to re- enter the workforce. The women will be taught computer applications to offices in- cluding Lotus, computer accounting, and word processing, and will be taught Business English and similar courses. , Mr. Empringham says the re-entry pro - determine the availability of clients to take the program, the willingness of employers to support the program, and the skills that are needed in this area. The re-entry program is a proposed pro- ject to give women in the Seaforth area of- fice procedures training and academic upgrading which they need to make them employable. The project would operate at SDHS for the first semester, but in the se- cond semester the women taking the project would be located in actual working environments. In conducting the pre -operational study a consultant will be touring Huron and Perth Counties to look for employers, so employers in this area may be contacted for interviews. SDHS principal Jim Empringham is op- timistic that the study will show a need for re-entry in the Seaforth area, and that the program will be approved by Canada Employment and Immigration. "Hopefully the study will verify need, and we have been assured that we have priority in this region and it is our expectation that we will be able to offer this program in September," says Mr. Ennpringham. To employers who have need of people HURON -PERTH CATHOLIC SCHOOLS gram participants may be hired on a perma- nent basis by the employer they are match- ed with, after the project expires. "The idea is that the people who will be taken on will become full-time employees, but that's not a requirement. The goal of the program is to make them employable." Women interested in this program can contact SDHS, as can employers who are in- terested in providing on-the-job experience for these women. Accused pleads guilty to murder The Vanastra dance -hall murder trial ended suddenly April 13 when the accused pleaded guilty to second-degree murder. Vienngeun Vongsa, 24, of Hamilton, had originally pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder in the shooting death of Bounmy Thapraseuth last October. But last Thurs- day Vongsa admitted in Ontario Supreme Court that he killed Thapraseuth last October. Mr. Justice W.D. Chilcott sentenced Vongsa to the minmum penalty for second- degree murder: life imprisonment with parole eligibility after 10 years. Vongsa and Thapraseuth were among the 160 people attending a day -long tournament and dance, sponsored by the Exeter Laotian Soccer Club and held at the Vanastra Recreation Centre. Crown Attorney Bob Morris said Vongsa 's "Turning point" might have been his brother's testimony. Morris said that Viengfet Vongsa's testimony in court "dramatically con- flicted" with the statement he gave police two days after the shooting. "I believe because of that (Viennegeun) pled guilty (to second-degree murder)," said Morris. Morris said the verdict was "appropriate". During sentencing, Chilcott said Vongsa's clean record and good character before the killing indicates that he is "salvageable." In his closing remarks, defence lawyer George Walker,.said Vongsa has shown regret for the crime. "He has taken a life and he realizes that," said Walker. Thapraseuth, 26, of Kitchener, died at London's University Hospital two days after he was shot. The shooting occurred after Vongsa, who had been drinking all day, spilled beer on a Kitchener man. The court was told that Vongsa, who was born in Laos, left the country when he was 14. He spent a year in a refugee camp in Thailand and then immigrated to Toronto. He entered school, leaving in Grade 10 to go to work. He has held a number of jobs but has always been employed. Vongsa became a Canadian citizen in 1983. -AN EDUCATION WITH A DIFFERENCE - The Board is proud of its educational leadership in:Catholic Education since it became a County Board System in 1969,' We emphasize a Christ -centred approach to education that is rooted in Gospel values.
