36 -- PORT P ERRY STAR -- Tuesday, May 16, 1989 > 5 IR CAN Lying in a field of popples at the At-Home were three charming characters from the Land of Oz; the cowardly lion, the tin man and Dorothy of ruby slippers fame. During the day, they have been known to freelance as teachers at PPHS, namely Dian Lackle, Al Boyd and Maureen Cook. These good natured teachers agreed to dress up for the night to help set the right theme for the party. 10.9% Financing On 600-1800-1900 | Series Lawn & _ 1 Garden Tractors a RAR | 9.9% Financing On Compact Diesels 5215, 5220, 5230 fa CAT Blackstock 986-4283 Shake hands with a Cop During Police Week, May 14 to 20, Ontario's Solicitor General is asking citizens across the pro- vince to "Shake Hands with a Cop" -- the theme of this year's tribute to policing. Solicitor General Joan Smith will be among the participants at the ceremony Monday at Toron- to's city hall to mark Police Week in Canada. "I am taking this opportunity to express our appreciation to the thousands of men and women who are dedicated to serving and pro- tecting the citizens of Ontario," Mrs. Smith said. "Safe com- munities don't just happen -- they are a tribute to the dedication and quality of police forces in this province." In Ontario, Mrs. Smith said, policing is a community affair, a partnership between the police and the community. "Programs like neighbourhood watch and crime stoppers are fine examples of that cooperation with communities to help prevent and solve crime," Mrs. Smith said. wns may wen lm yell ld includes: -10' StarTrak Mesh Dish - StarTrak 8 Receiver/Descrambler - Electronics Package - Free 1 year subscription to Satellite TV Guide 3B - Standard Installation - Equipment Life Service Warranty The OVER 100 CHANNELS TO CHOOSE FROM STARTRAK COMPLETE SYSTEM: 3195.

"'Proposed changes to the pro- gram have been discussed with local 4-H associations and they have agreed that the Ontario pro- gram will benefit if changes are put into practice," Ontario Minister of Agriculture and Food Jack Riddell said last week. "The 4-H program in Canada is 76-years-old. It is a well- established organization, still popular with rural youth, "Rid- dell said. "These changes will en- sure it has a solid following in On- tario for years to come." The 4-H program's purpose is the personal development of youth in rural Ontario. There are currently about 17,000 4-H members and 3,600 4-H leaders in Ontario. A review of Ontario's 4-H pro- gram, which made suggestions for strengthening Ontario's 4-H program and attracting more members, was released last December. Since then, the minister met with presidents of local 4-H organizations. Their suggestions for amendments and additions have been considered and many have been incorporated. "Local 4-H organizations will be able to adapt these suggestions for change into their programs as they see fit," Riddell said. Some of the new directions for the 4-H program will be: -- to establish an elected Ontario 4-H council within three years. The council will have expanded responsibilities in formulating = and implementing policy, propos- ing and evaluating projects and allocating funding for leadership development. -- to broaden the scope of membership in local 4-H associa- tions to enhance community in- volvement. This could include in- volvement of non-leader volunteers, members and their parents and sponsors. The association would be responsible for defining its membership and local bylaws, in accordance with the constitution and overall policies set by the Ontario 4-H Council. -- to include 10 and 11-year-olds in the program. At present, youths must be 12-years-old to join. This year, the program started accepting 11-year-olds. In 1991, it will begin accepting 10-year-olds. This will require the development of junior and senior level project material. -- to organize a provincial cam- paign for revitalizing the image of 4-H in the rural community and to develop resources and workshops for local 4-H associations. A for- mal marketing plan will be developed to communicate a strong image of 4-H as a youth development program that is educational and fun. -- the ministry's rural organiza- tions and services branch will fur- ther strengthen its support of the 4-H program by, among other things, providing leadership training and meeting resources for 4-H leaders and enhancing in- depth orientation and contact, particularly for new leaders and members. , "MORE THAN JUST A DAIRY STORE" MYERS CASH & CARRY BULK FOODS--DISCOUNT DAIRY PRODUCTS < rl ) > COR Z Th { A Ap BBQ Time is Here!
