Page 6, Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Wednesday, July 15, 1987 Mature student test t The Mature Student Test- A service of your college The Confederation College of Applied Arts and Technology has, as part of its mandate, a desire to meet the educational needs of adults and out-of-school youth whether or not they are secondary school graduates. It is therefore an important -- aspect of this mandate to ensure, as much as possible, the potential for success of the student. In many cases, then, the mature student who has been out of school for an extended time and/or has not completed Gr. 12 will be asked to complete a Mature Student Test. This test is currently adminis- tered free of charge to potential students by college staff. When completed, the results of your test are compared to a large group of Gr. 12 students. If you score in the average range OF WAGHORN'S PHARMACY NOTICE NEW SUMMER HOURS ON TRIAL BASIS Monday-Friday 9:1 5-8:00 p.m. INCLUDING WEDNESDAYS Saturday 9:15-2:00 p.m. higher, and if it is felt that you have the academic skills for the program you have applied for, acceptance to the Associate Registrar for Post-secondary Programs will be recommended. It is important to realize that if there are specific subjects required for your program, you will have to have those subjects even if you pass the Mature Student Test. For example, Gr. 12 Math is required in Technology and 2 senior level sciences are required in Nursing. x For some programs an inter- view is also required, i.¢., Dental Assistant. For other programs, successful completion of the Mature Student Test is sufficient, 1.¢., General Business, Hotel Management, General Arts and Science. If you do not do well on the test, it is usually recommended that you upgrade your academic skills and then apply again. However, the poiential stu- dents should not be deterred by the Mature Student Test. In many cases, the mature stu- dents has absorbed a wealth of o meet educational needs experience which will favourably contribute to their aptitude for successfully completing the Mature Student Test. The mature student is defined as one that is 19 years-of-age OF older and who does not possess a Secondary School Graduation Diploma. In the North Shore areas, mature student testing can be accessed after application to the college and notification from the Registrars Office, by contacting David Zub at 229-2464 or toll- free at 1-800-465-3364. re) Comanche with Sport Stripe Group e121 hp engine e5 speed eFabric seats * eBlock heater eHeavy duty battery ePower brakes ePower steering eStyled road wheels license extra, stock --J5445) eHeavy duty alternator eQuadra-link front suspension DRIVE FOR $95 4° COMANCHE.

Prescibed fire procedures Prescribed fire In society that has in the past viewed fire as an enemy, the deliberate use of fire may seem strange. Prescribed fire, as the name implies, is the use of fire in a manner prescribed by fire man- agers. This prescription must meet two requirements. First the fire must be set in weather that is appropriate for its confinement and control. Secondly, it must achieve the objective of the burn. Reasons for the use of the pre- scribed fire vary depending on the -- use of land concemed. Prescribed fire is used to reduce the fire haz- ard on forested areas which have been harvested. These areas contain logging slash as a result of cutting. If this slash is left untreated it poses a real fire threat for a number of years. In such a situation fire iS used to stop fire by burning off unwanted slash material. Prescribed fire is a viable and economical site preparation tool in forest management. Logging operations leave aahric covering potential seed ground. Even if the debris is minimal, the best seed beds are usually desirable to remove most of the organic matter found. above the mineral soil. This procedure helps to ensure seedling survival since roots can- not be established in moist miner- al soil before drought sets in. Prescribed fire, as a site prepa- ration tool, can remove slash and sub-surface organic matter there- by creating a suitable surface for forest fuels. Since large areas may be cov- ered with minimal burning time, this technique is very economical in comparison with other methods of site preparation. Wildfire managers may use the prescribed fire to increase the amount and quality of browse for wildlife such as deer. In such cases, minimal amounts of the organic layer are removed without trying to kill the surface vegetation. This usually causes suckering or sprouting of many plants, espe- cially hardwoods, which are a source of wildfire managers are seeking to create. Rte eee BES Be, ication on the part of the land manager, prescribed fire can be a valuable management tool. A burp of this type is sched- uled for the Pinegrove area, 20 kilometres south of Manitouwadge, off Highway 614 during this week. -- Pouliot Northern remote communities.
