Mareing Occasonat coarse men Responsibility is the key | TERRACE — The Pathway what that i program of education and life at jeans to their families and to the com- #? ‘ee skills training places a lot of em- phasis on its students taking responsibility for their themselves. That concept fits the com- puter program used in the education section and the job preparation training aspect, $ave Rathyay, covordinajor Ron , i “What'wehave here is a pro- ‘grain that’s more adaptable to the'students and to the needs of the workforce out there,” he said. Pathway is sponsored by the Kermade Friendship Centre with monies from the federal government. It's restricted to native students who, up until now, have not been gainfully employed. _ Jacobs is particularly happy with. Pathfinder, the computer program being leased by Pathway to teach students reading and writing. Using a personal computer, _ the student works through its various educational levels to the point where he or she reaches the equivalent of Grade 12, _Jacobs describes Pathfinder as an electronic tutor although it is up to the student to suc- -cessfally answer 80 per cent of Ron Jacobs the extent of what is required from it. That adaptability makes it a good program to use for Pathway as its restricted to native students, said Jacobs. In the life skilis component, coach Jan Johnson works with students to first realize who they are and then how their actions affect others and how the ac- tions of others affect themselves, “It’s easy to take a class or go to a lecture where information is fed in and you're left to do with it what you will,” said Johnson, Instead, students experience how they feel themselves and Traffic tickets to take time - TERRACE — It will be some ‘time yet before the city's by-law ‘enforcement officer is given the go-ahead to start issuing park: - ing tickets, but Fern Sweeting has still been kept busy since * taking up her post in mid- September. “In cher. year-end report to “(unsightly premises) tegula- ~ ions. ‘Confirming public. com- plaints and: the findings of a |. -gity-wide. patrol had identified “37 such offenders, she added, ““When infractions were iden- . tified photographs were taken ‘and the owner contact Emphasizing “generous” ‘deadlines for effecting the re- quired ‘clean-up had been set, Sweeting said most owners had reacted positively when ap- - preached, Citing derelict vehicles as a . major problem, she recom- mended the city emphasize “these eyesores be moved’? dur- ing this year’s spring clean-up campaign, She also asked that Although enforcement - of zoning by-laws is. currently. out- side her terms of reference, Sweeting identified breaches of | the city’s zoning by-laws as another area of concern.

Pathfinder is known as an open-ended system in that its capabilities are timited only to munities. It involves teaching patience, listening and communication — all essential elements that fit re- quirements in finding and keep- ing jobs, said Johnson. And because the students are all natives, there’s sessions in native culture, i 3 ‘‘Native people are: ‘taught that being native isn’t good. The aim is to breed self esteem,”’ said Johnson. Pathway began its 30-week program last October and is scheduled to finish the end of May. It has room for 14 students and a budget of $162,900 from the Canada Employment and Immigration Commission. That covers living allowances for the students, salaries for three employees and the leasing of the Pathfinder program and equipment. ¢ AWN to bring a family much SEN "DUSTIN, «= MATTHEW .
