The Huron Expositor, 1982-07-21, Page 260 A6 - THE HURON -EXPOSITOR, JULY 28, 1982 gB ssels st Create jobs with cu BY!ON WASSINK You're a teenager. the summer holidays are halt' over and you're siting at home, bored. The summer fob you were hoping for didn't materialize. Such is not the case for the Exel kids. Sharon, 15, Nancy, 13 and Gerald, 12. children of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Exel of Brussels, , took their father's advice and croted their own summer job. The threesome approached a Bick's pickle representative in Teeswater early this spring and signed a contract to supply the company with two and half tan's of pickling cucumbers. Sharon said her father approached Dave Thomas of Grey township to rent half an acre for the project. The cucumber patch consists of one and half acres with Mr. Thomas growing the balance of the: crop. Michelle Vader and Gwen Cousins were hired by Mr. Thomas to weed and pick his cucumbers and assist in general farm duties. Bicks supplied the Erie's with two litres of seed which were Planted the first week in June, using a corn planter. The back breaking job of hoeing the patch was begun "near the end of June", says Sharon. Motorists who have noticed the Exels at work in their Patch have stopped in hopes of purchasing cucumbersfor their own use. Nancy says. we have to explain the cucumbers are for Bick's and we can only sell privately when the contract is fulfilled.", Picking commenced Monday and Sharon estimates it will take three to four weeks to supply the pickle company with the required amount. Depending on the size and quality of the cucumbers, Sharon said they hope to receive 5400 to $500 per ton. At the end of the summer, she and her brother and sister will divide the earnings. Hours have been kept by each to determine who has worked the hardest and the money will be divided accordingly. Since they also babysit whenever possible and assist with the large vegetable garden at their home, Sharon and Nancy admit they havc. worked hard this summer. Asked if she would grow cucumbers next season, Sharon replied, "ask me in four weeks." She said she would recommend the project to any student "if they like hard Work. It brings in extra money." ""If I can get a summer job next yea.. I'll take it instead of cucumbers". says Sharon. JOBS TIGHT Marg Sills,. Supervisor at the Employment Centre for Students said 820 students had registered at the Listowel office by the end of June. She said a good majority have received casual and permanent employment. alf the students are still On file as seeking employment. Some have part-time positions "and want additional part-time jobs." says Miss Sills. "Although the job situation is tight for both full and part-time employment, we are fortunate to be centred in an agricultural zone." she says. "There is always hay to haul and strawberries to pick. but this year, even those jobs were scarce." Miss Sills says many students have taken the initiative and set up their own business venttires. She said funding is available through the Student Venture Capital Pro- gram. Students are required to outline their summer project and send their submissions • to the Youth Secretariat who in turn review the applications with representatives of the. Royal Bank. Many students have enquired about the program says Miss Sills. but applications were few. A "Sweat Program" was organ- ized by eight students in Wingham and four in Listowel. The students sent flyers to 'homeowners offering their services in assist- ing with odd jobs. She' taid .-the students "have received assistanCe from our office." With student registration up from last year by 100 and employment opportunities on the decline. Miss Sills "gives credit to those who create their own employment".
