-- a ETT AI GOTT or . N We 'Junior Ags' and farmers--are perfect matches What a great relationship! | A student learns about living and working on a farm ana a farmer has someone to help out as he or she teaches the student about rural living. : Sound too good to be true? Junior Agriculturalist, a program spon- sored by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food and the On- tario Ministry of Skills Develop- ment, makes it all possible. A student between the ages of 16 and 18 and having no previous farm experience is placed on a farm to live and learn with the family. The match-up runs from June 23 to August 20. While on the farm, farmers instruct and supervise the student. The student may par- ticipate in family activities and become "one of them' for the summer. In return for his or her work, the student is paid $20 per day plus room and board. The training allowance is split equally between the host farmer and the Ministry of Agriculture and Food. Ten dollars a day is a small price to pay for en- thusiastic, energetic help. . AN CENTRE EQUESTRI What's more, the 'Junior Ag" has every second weekend off and is covered by Workers' Compensation and Unemployment Insurance. All in all, it's a great deal for both sides, and it's not too late to par- ticipate. Lynn McLaughlin, Durham-York Youth Employment Co-ordinator, says host farmers are still needed. She'd like to have six host farmers in this area. '""The only qualification is that they be patient, because they have to try to teach the kids," Lynn said. "They have to realize they can't tell a kid who has never worked on a farm before to go out and bring in 14 loads of hay." Students are asked to bring all the energy, enthusiasm and interest in agriculture they possess to the pro- ject. The ability to be flexible and willing to adapt is essential. There will be long hours and hard work, but the rewards are well worth it. "A lot of farming people have had many successful relationships with these kids,"' Lynn said.

XN SW TONNES = PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, May 13, 1986 -- 13 At Mill Hollow Gallery and Studio Les kicks off art season Two and a half years ago, Georgia Tremaine had a dream. As a resi- dent of Durham Region for the last seven years and an artist, she wanted to provide a forum for the wealth of talented artists and ar- tisans living and working in the region. Her residence provided the venue. A renovated grist mill, crica 1852, on Durham 21, west of Manchester was an appropriate setting. A section, with lots of old beams and high ceil- ings was converted into Mill Hollow Gallery and Studio and the doors opened to the public. Initially Georgia Tremaine ex- perimented with showings of various types of work and artists styles in an attempt to discover what the public wanted. To be suc- cessful, she had to know which ar- 'tists the public would come out to see and of course whose works they would buy. The results: people wanted to see excellent water-colours with a nature theme, exciting designer clothers, and gift giving pottery and ceramics. : The '86 Summer Season at Mill Hollow reflects these desires. Les Parkes, an outstanding water- colourist, who depicts nature as on- ly Les can, will kick off the season on Saturday May 17 through to May 31. Les Parkes will be present on the opening day May 17, 1986. June 7 to June 21 will feature, the designer clothes of award winning Bill Fitches; and distinctive hand woven tops, coats and blankets by Fran Solar. Plus gorgeous hand painted silks, scarves and tops from two new comers to the Gallery Jeanette Shanks and Ruth Sedgewick. Jewellery to compli- ment the clothes will be provided by Nancy Steele and Marcela Lukavisky. For the finishing touch, hand made lingerie and undergarments designed by Enid and Tracy Evans. June 28 to July 12 will be two weeks of pottery; pottery and more pottery. Lots of new pieces from Anne and Ed Emerson, Jane McIn- tosh, Paul Johnson and Cheryl Simpson. Plus as an added treat there will be six Robert Bateman limited edition prints from a private collection. 1 An exciting two months dictated by the patrons of Mill Hollow Gallery and Studio.

Cabaret will floor you and the floor as well This news is going to floor you. Literally. The Directors of Town Hall 1873 have ganged together and, co-ordinated by Donna Shanley, Lynn Relf and Diane Lackie, will be producing Cabaret '88, back again by popular demand.

Local personalities and suprise guest celebrities will pop up in unusual spots and an ap- pearance of 'Jack and the Boys" has also been assurred. A special at- traction will be the prize winning Grade 13 High School production of No, No, A Million Times No -- an energetic, tuneful and humorous musical. These are just a few of the acts planned for the evening of Saturday, May Sist. Now back to that floor.
