: 2011 FAB Bursary Recipient Rebecca Grose receives her cheque from CKNX Radio Farm Advisory Board’s Ray Baynton

The cities will never stop needing the country.

That’s one of the quotes from Rebecca Grose’s essay in her application for the 2011 CKNX Radio Farm Advisory Board FAB Bursary. That essay was one of the
factors that led to the selection of the Alma-area student as this year’s FAB Bursary winner from an impressive list of 18 applicants.

Rebecca Grose is a student at Kemptville College in their Associate Diploma Agriculture – Equine Option program. Her resume includes an impressive 64 4-H
clubs, work in community groups and a strong interest in equine therapeutic riding programs.

In her letter of recommendation for Rebecca’s application, Krista Michelle Breen of the Sunrise Therapeutic Riding and Learning Centre called her a highly energetic and valuable member of their team. Rebecca says her long-term goal is to have her own therapeutic riding operation. She says the impact that kind of a program can have on handicapped young people is amazing.

She’s also continuing her love for 4-H with plans to become a junior leader in the coming year to add to her long-time involvement with that organization.

The 1 thousand dollar CKNX Radio Farm Advisory Board FAB Bursary is awarded annually to a student from Midwestern Ontario in a post-secondary, agriculture-related program. The Bursary recognizes community involvement, contributions to agriculture and an interest in and desire to be part of the
provincial agriculture industry.

The CKNX Radio Farm Advisory Board includes representation from across Midwestern Ontario and from across the agriculture and agribusiness spectrum. It administers both the FAB Bursary program and the annual FAB Award program. Nominations for the FAB Award are now open, with a February 29^th, 2012 deadline. The Board also provides feedback and input to CKNX Radio in the station’s ongoing efforts to provide a strong service to the agriculture and
agri-business community in Midwestern Ontario.
