4 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmnanville, August 3, 1977 Section Two .Award"ed Kinsman and Kinette of Year Plaque Students on Park Staff See that Sites in Shape for Their Summer Guests By Sbawn Marshall, Students are mucb tougber tban some people seem to tbink tbey are. Despite the bleak predic- tions made by observers of tbe province's emiployment market, both wiversity and bigh scbool students started pounding the pavement to find work for the summer, right after classes ended. t mnay have taken a littie more ingenuity to find work tbis year, but a large percent- age were successful. Darlington Provincial Park is one area wbere a number of local students found work tbat will belp themr raise funds '0 keep tbem lin school for the coming year. The pari' bas partîcipated in tbe Ontario Youtb i Experienwe program ,each year since it started in 1972. For some of the students involved, tbe experience proved invaluable. Four-Vear Veteran For Ed Kozak of Newcastle,ý the goals of tbe -experience project were realized wben be decided to cbange bis course of study and beadedin a new career direction. As a brief outlining the purpose of Ontario 'Experi- ence '77, states, "the pro- gram's jobs are designed to complemient a young person's academic andl career inter- est" and to belp them "gain insigbt into the real working worl. Wbien tbe Queens University student applied for a job witb tbe province four, years ago and was given work- on maintenance at tbe park, be was studying, bio-chemistry and headed for a career in tbe laboratory. Tbree years into tbe course and after an equal amount of time at tbe park, however, bave changed bis plans sîgnifi- cantly. To stârt witb, bis experience at- the campgrounds showed bim that working outdoors was mucb more enjoyable than spending eigbt hours a day in a cbemistry laboratory. After realizing how much more be enjoyed working outside, it was just a matter of finding the course that a]- lowed bim to do it and still provîde him witb interesting work in a career situation. Now going into bis second year of geology in Kingston, anotber two terms in the course will give him a large enougb base to start working fuli-time in the field. Confident of a Job As many students are find- ing out, tbe job market is neyer tbe same from one year to tbe next. Tbe demand for geologists, bowever, is reacb- ing a peak period and no problems are expected wben be looks for a permanent position., Tbe benefits are filtered througb to the employer as well as to tbe students. The park needs hard work- ers to keep up maintenance of tbe grounds. Witb four years of experience under the Min- istry of Natural Resources, tbe Queen's student's record shows tbat the park super- visors value him as an employee'. Another veteran working in the park, Valerie Bothwell of Bowmanville, enjoys the outdoor work also. Her duties are divided between several tasks, ranging from tbe regular maintenance work to filling in at the front office. Tbe 22-year-old Queen's psychology Istudent was another beneficiary of the experience program who bas been on staff at Darlington for her fourth year. Women Blocked It has also lead to a better understanding of the working world for her as- welI, one of the other objectives set down in the program. Since working at the park from 1973, she has noted that only one minor change is needed., "We had to fight really hard to get a girl working on maintenance this year," she said. But, while the girl-to-boy ratio may flot be Up to expectations, the job offers some of its own rewards such as working outdoors and meeting campers who are staying at the park., For Catherine Bunting of Orono, working at the Darling- ton Park bas allowed ber to continue studying. The agri- cultural student at Guelph University is interested in greenhouse gardening and landscaping. As all students who work at the park, in the first year she worked on maintaining tbe grounds. In ber second year, however, she bas been trans- ferred to the office and is responsible for registering campers into the grounds, renewing camp permits and otber similar clerical functions. Gave iler A Start The experience program also was ber first employment' opportunity in the Ministry of Natural Resources, whicb for' ber began witb the Ganaraska Conservation Autbority in 1975. A former junior ranger for the ministry, Don James of Courtice was bired on at Darlington in 1974 and bas been working tbere each, summer since then. He is another Queen's student who is able to carry on with studies as a result of the employment at the park. The goals of the program hold to generally higber ideal- istic principles than the average job would in the private business sector. But in the transition from the words of the Ontçirio Youtb Secretar- iat to the job of actually working on a project, tbey lose part of their heavy tone.
