>Matthew P. Blanchard, PHILADELPHIA Inquirer - Billed as one of the nation's
>first "homeland security training summer camps for teenagers," a program
>called Secure Corps in Bucks County is drilling 92 young men and women in
>essential skills for this new, uncertain era. And those skills include math:
>"If I have 40 acres of forest," runs a typical problem, "how many search
>dogs will I need to find a fugitive?"
>
>The idea was born in the frustrating days of mid-September, when millions of
>Americans were itching to take up arms, send aid - do anything - but had
>little idea where to begin. In Bucks County, teenagers were calling the
>offices of county government, wondering how they could join the ranks of
>police, fire and emergency personnel. So the county created Secure Corps . . .
>
>The entire program is designed for teens who may be teenage parents,
>juvenile delinquents, low income, or coping with a learning or other
>disability. Eighty percent are male, and 30 percent live in group
>foster homes.
>
>"These aren't the kids whose parents are going to give them $20 to sit by
>the pool all day," said camp director Danielle Bursk, who oversees
>activities at several sites from a tiny office at Bucks County Community
>College. The job training they receive, Bursk says, can start a career in
>the homeland security business, which is booming.
