Grey Firefighters Breakfast Grey Fire Station in Ethel 44358 Brandon Road Sunday, June 23 8:00 am - 12:00 noon Donations only Charges laid in death inquiry CHSS Co-op breakfast touts successes of program Central Huron Secondary School’s once-per-semester co-op appre- ciation breakfast last week highlighted the importance and impact of the program with students. On June 12, Shane Taylor and Terry Zachar, teachers in charge of the program, welcomed co-op students and employers to the school, highlighting the needs and benefits of the program. Taylor thanked the co-op providers, saying that the students receive truly beneficial experiences through the program. He explained that, when he talks to his fellow teachers from larger city centres at conferences, they’re constantly surprised by the breadth and quality of the co-op providers in Huron County, as well as the fact that many of the students find employment through the program. He said that the 40 different companies providing co-op opportunities are like 40 extra teachers in the area, providing unique learning experiences. The whole system, he said, proves it takes a village to educate students. Taylor also pointed out that the co- op program offers a unique experience for students who often flourish when they leave school and find a permanent position in a trade or workplace. “When they get out there, and they are one-on-one with an adult, they act appropriately and do the job and learn,” he said. “The program offers a great chance for students to get out of the school and do real, hands-on work.” This year, there were more companies seeking co-op students than ever before, Taylor said, and he anticipates that’s thanks in part to the quality of the program at Central Huron Secondary School and partly because of low unemployment rates. Locally, businesses like Howson and Howson/Millstone Crop Services, Huron Tractor and Elligson Electric took on co-op students, many of whom came from the area. Garrett Van Dieten, store manager at Huron Tractor, said the co-op program is a great asset for the school and for the business. “We’ve been doing it for a long time, maybe as long as there has been a co-op program,” he said. Van Dieten explained to The Citizen that co-op placements at Huron Tractor usually attract students with a farming background and they often turn out to be fantastic workers. “These young farm kids come in and work as technicians for us and, usually, they’ve got some experience working on their own equipment in the shed,” he said. “Some of them need some hand-holding, but for the most part, they work safe and hard.” The proof of the success of the program is easy to see in the Huron Tractor Blyth location Van Dieten said, because their last three co-op students are now apprentices there. “We definitely plan on continued participation,” he said. “We generally have enough work for one student and one semester, but we do get a lot of requests.” Van Dieten said he hopes, in the future, to reach out to younger students through visiting high schools and encouraging students to not only participate in the co-op program, but keep Huron Tractor in mind when they do. Ashley Falconer, a Blyth student, had a co-op placement with a music teacher at Clinton Public School, a stepping stone towards her future in community health. Falconer said she was looking for a placement focused on music, but when it didn’t work out, she worked in the music program at the public school. Her responsibilities, she said, were similar to that of an educational assistant when she was helping in the classroom, but offered her a great chance to work with musically- inclined students through the primary choir and music classes for senior students, including some who were getting ready to try out for bands. The experience helped her decide on her future. Next year, she will be pursuing a double major at Wilfrid Laurier University, studying Indigenous studies and community health, as well as aiming for a minor in music.

Pot and The Citizen have been honoured by News Media Canada with a Canadian Community Newspaper Award. Pot’s story about the Blyth Festival production of The Pigeon King was published in The Citizen’s annual agricultural issue last year. It outlined Arlan Galbraith’s Pigeon King International scheme and how it was still too “close to the bone” for some to discuss. The story placed third in the Best Agricultural Story category, finishing behind Jordan Ross’ piece in The Carillon in Steinbach, Manitoba, “Restored barn a link for East and West Reserves” and Barb McKay’s “Eliminating supply management would spell the end of the family farm” for The Kincardine Independent. The category was open to newspapers of all circulation classes, meaning The Citizen was up against newspapers with circulation of over 25,000, over 12 times The Citizen’s circulation of approximately 2,000. The Citizen has been honoured recently at the national level by News Media Canada, formerly the Canadian Community Newspapers Association, most notably as the best and second-best newspaper in its circulation class. Its front page and editorial page have also been honoured nationally in recent years. To read Pot’s story, visit The Citizen online at huroncitizen.ca. A great learning experience Central Huron Secondary School Co-op students like Bailey Bos, left, shown with Ken Ryan from Huron Tractor in Blyth, get hands-on experience through the program. The businesses, according to Huron Tractor representative Garrett Van Dieten, not shown, find a constant source of potential apprentices who are eager to work and ready to learn.
