Huzon-Bruce angle on youth futures Student suggests course on "Real Life" "I have spent over $40,000 and five years of my life at university preparing for work. Some days, it seems like i will spend the next five years looking for some way to pay it all back. I've been searching for work, not just in my field, but in any field, waiting on tables, pumping gas...it's just so discourag- ing." Recent university graduate quoted in Future Directions for Canadian Youth, a Huron -Bruce perspective. BY PATRICK RAFTIS SSP News Staff A mandatory secondary school course called "Real Life," was among the sugges- tions made by a high school student in the Huron -Bruce riding in response to a survey on youth employment prospects by riding MP Paul Steckle. "We need to be taught how to handle ourselves in a job interview, we need to learn the proper way of writing a resume, we need to be taught how to look for a job that is suited to us," suggested one youth. Mandatory co-op programs at secondary and post sec - Making $ will sav Making money will save jobs and maintain programs and services for students.

The task force is working toward the preparation of a National Youth Strategy. The youth population (aged 15-19) of Huron -Bruce rid- ing was 94,731, or 19.4 per cent of the total, according to Canada's 1991 Census. Agriculture leads the top five list of employment by sector in the riding, accord- ing to Steckle's report, with 14.1 per cent of the total labor force, compared to 12.1 per cent for manufacturing, 11.8 per cent for the service sector, 4.8 for government services and 2.3 per cent for business services.

"Schools that prepare in advance of the next slash in funding will be well served," the comments by HCBE Education Director Paul Carroll continue: "I truly believe we do not understand the `value' of training and education. It's what we're good at - and the private sector (Look at the growth in tutorial services and private remedial schools!) is capitalizing on a big hole in the learning mar- ket we have not chosen to fill.

Perth gets most for long-term care Community long-term care funding and services are con- sidered "sufficiently high" in Huron County, so Perth will get more than seven times as much of the $1.59 -million recently allocated to the two by the Ontario government. A press release from the Huron Perth District Health Council, which will recom- mend exactly where all this jmoney is to be spent, says "equity" is the reason $1,408,155 has been allocat- ed by the government fo' Perth and $187,957 to Huron. Community based long- term services include home- making, support services such as home maintenance and adult day programs, information and referral ser- vices, and professional ser- vices such as nursing, phys- iotherapy, social work and placement co-ordination. "The difference in the allo- cations to the two counties is primarily based upon achiev- ing the principal of equity," the district health council's press release states. "The ministry is committed to achieving equity in the dol- lars expended per capita on community services funding. This achievement will help to ensure that individuals in Ontario have access to simi- '' fEfD & FARM SUPPLY TEL: 233-9219 KEEP FLIES UNDER CONTROL ON YOUR FARM See us at Varna Feed & Farm Supply for all your fly control needs ■ DEFOGGING SPRAYS ■ FLY BAITS We're your �Il'-)Uj3S S 01GHER POWER FENCE DEALER 1 i i3 1 rT! to ,) Cl ril 1 `) r•, ,,.. lar services regardless of their place of residence." "To calculate each county's share of new funds, each dis- trict in Ontario is compared by the ministry for the amount of funding it should be receiving, against what it already receives," the release continues. "The comparison showed the need to signifi- cantly increase the current base funding to Perth County in order to achieve equity with other districts in Ontario. "The base funding in Huron County required minimal adjustment to achieve equity. The current level of funding in Huron County, and the ser- vices provided are considered sufficiently high." In another Huron Perth DHC press release, current members of the organization, formed in June 1994, are list- ed. As of May 10 this year nine of its members were from Perth and eight from Huron, with council awaiting three new members through provincial cabinet orders -in - council. They are: Deb Campbell, Chair/ Huron con- sumer; Terry Fadelle, vice chair/Perth provider; Jeff Wilbee, past chair/Perth provider; Bill Carnochan, Huron municipal; Bill Clifford, Huron municipal; Howard Culligan, Perth con- sumer; Joyce Doig, Huron provider; Janet Hook, Perth consumer; Judy Kipfer, Perth provider; Linda Knight, Huron provider; Anita Looby, Perth consumer; Frank Mark, Perth municipal; Brenda McIntosh, Huron consumer, Ken Rodney, Huron provider; George Ryley, Perth consumer; Debbie Selkirk, Huron provider; and, Annabel) Thomson, Perth municipal. •
