Clinton youths receive Chief Scout award
Four Clinton youths have been honored by
receiving the Chief Scout award.
At a ceremony in Arva on June 14 Gavin
McClenaghan, Jason McLean, Kevin- Clog
and Greg Falconer received their awards.
"It is the highest award a scout can ob-
tain," Barry Clog, their assistant scout
Master, said.
Mr. Clog explained that to obtain this
award the scouts first had to earn a series of
achievement badges, from bronze to silver
to gold. Among their achievements are
badges for camp craft, swimming, fitness,
safety and first aid.
Aside from their badges, the scouts hadoto
perform other duties in order to receive
their awards.
"They had to put in 50 hours of community
service over their time as scouts," Mr. Clog
said.
Some of these services• included clean-up
duty after fairs and events at the communi-
ty centre, work at Huronview and odd jobs,
Mr. Clog said.
According to Mr. Clog, all scouts are eligi-
ble to receive this award, but only 122 boys
from two regions covering Owen Sound to
London, and Stratford to Sarnia to Windsor
were honored.
"It is quite an achievement, the last time
it happened was about three years ago when
three boys received it," Mr. Clog said:
On June 14, four Clinton Scouts were awarded the Chief Scout Award in Arva. Scout
master Bob Semple (far left) and Judge Elaine Pensa were on hand for the presentations
to the four boys. They are, from left to right, Gavin McClenaghan, Jason McLean, Kevin
Clog and Greg Falconer.
He expects all of the boys will move on to earned the rest of his points to give him th

had already made the move, but came back their parents also presented them with Chief

PROGRAM IN THIRD YEAR
Ontario youth hotline helps find jobs
TORONTO — It's not uncommon for those
who call the Ontario Youth Hotline to ex-
press their gratitude to a counsellor for giv-
ing them helpful information, but one
female counsellor was caught off guard
when a grateful caller proposed marriage.
Now starting its third year, the Ontario
Youth Hotline gives callers across the pro-
vince equal access to information about the
Ontario Ministry of Skills Development's
youth employment programs. And call they
did — more than 115,000 calls in the first two
years.
"The Hotline is a link between young peo-
ple and the programs of our Ministry," ex-
plains Skills Development Minister Gregory
Sorbara. "The fact that it keeps ringing
shows us that the public has found the ser-
vice useful."
Hotline counsellors handle questions —
thousands of them — and make referrals on
provincial youth initiatives. The toll-free
number, 1-800-387-0777, can be dialled from
anywhere in the province.
More than half the callers are young peo-
ple. Employers make up 25 per and
among the other callers are parents, social
service workers, educators, government
agencies and the media.
Young people often call to ask.for help in
getting a job. Others have more specific
questions about youth programs.
Many of the questions deal with Futures
— a ministry program initiated last
November' to give hard -to -employ young
people on-the-job training and work ex-
perience in order to break the cycle of
unemployment.
Hotline manager Don MacGillivray points
outthat many young people become
discouraged after knocking on the wrong
doors. He says the Hotline can be used to
direct young workers into programs that
best meet their needs.
Since its inception, there have been more
than 115,000 incoming telephone calls, 55,000
outgoing calls and 65,000 pieces of mail sent
out. Statistics, however, don't tell the entire
story.
"This is a job in which you have to solve
problems quickly, efficiently and simply,"
says Mr. MacGillivray.
Counsellors who answer the telephones
are chosen carefully. "They must be calm,
good at synthesizing information, and have
a thorough knowledge of the ministry's in-
itiatives," he added.
The Hotline is currently staffed by 13
councellors and a supervisor. In addition to
the skills required of every counsellor, each
has a specific area of expertise. One, for ex-
ample, has a business background and
.another is knowledgeable about programs
for disabled persons.
Counsellors can respond to French en-
quiries and the Hotline is also accessible to
Ontario's hearing impaired community
through a Telephone Device for the Deaf
with its special number —1-800-387-0743.
Counsellors decide whether a caller can
be helped immediately or whether the per-
son requires special follow-up attention,
which is usually provided within 36 hours.
When appropriate, additional information is
mailed.
Staff handle more than 600 calls a day dur-
ing peak periods.
