Literacy program seeks tutors By Trish Wilkinson Clinton News-Record For the past five years, the Huron County Board of Education's Literacy/Numeracy Project has worked as a helping hand for people trying to improve their basic reading, writing and math skills. However, a shortage of volunteer tutors has always made it difficult for organizers to reach their goal of aiding everyone seeking assistance, and project co-ordinators Shelly Weselan and Barbara Kannegiesser noted this year is no different. Kannegiesser stated that currently, the program has four adult learners and about 45 children waiting for a tutor. "When somebody calls in, it takes a lot of courage ... we want to help match them up (with a tutor) as soon as possible and not make them wait," Kannegiesser stated. The pair, who noted that they have been trying to raise awareness for this need with posters across the county, stated that people interested in helping don't need any kind of special training or education. "They have to want to help someone in the community and that's it," Weselan said. Kannegiesser stated that they can help get the new tutors ideas on how to start. She added that the program also offers tutor training sessions four times a year, with the next one coming up Sept. 24 at the Huron board of Education office in Clinton. "We are going right down to the basics," Kannegiesser said about the upcoming session which will be held at 1 p.m. and again at 7 p.m. They noted, as well, that there is no pre-registering, and that people are welcome to just walk in to the session and get more information. "(People" can come, they can meet us, they can find out a little about the program," Kannegiesser stated. The co-ordinator also said that they have designed the program to be very flexible to the volunteer tutors' needs and time restrictions. The tutors have a say in who they work with and when. It's not like us telling them this is what you have to do," Kannegiesser said. The program, which currently has about 10 adults and 33 children matched with tutors, is also looking Continued on page 22 hears poem The Afternoon Unit of the Belgrave UCW met in the Sunday School room on Tuesday, Sept. 9 with leader, Kay Roberts opening the meeting with a verse from Galatians.
