(See Ad in this week's paper), The Statesman Proofreader's Words of the Week.../o nssuogo - Calm, sootho, oppoaso tonot - Principle, dogma, doclrlnn, ol n person or school, by Lorraine Manfredo Rick Sauvé has been behind bars on a controversial murder conviction conviction for 15 years. Several private members' bills have been introduced in Parliament to rc-opcn the case many believe was a frame-up. And while the ex-Satan's Choice biker from Port Hope awaits his latest latest parole hearing at the end of this month, he is doing all he can to stop juvenile offenders from following following the route that led him to jail. Mr. Sauvé has developed a program program called Straight Talk, which is designed to steer teens at risk into a more promising direction. That means completing their education, trusting their families, and respecting respecting the law. Sauvé spoke to Rotary Club members about the program on Thursday, September 15th. "We invite young offenders into the prison and talk to them. We give them a glimpse of where their current current lifestyle can lead them if they continue down that path. We become become the mirror of Dorian Gray for them; they are able to see their future future and we can see ourselves in the past." Prison is no exclusive club, he tells the youths he meets. Anybody can wind up behind the wall. "We're starting to see more and more people come into prison for drinking and driving related offences. offences. When we go to schools, we tell them that if they're caught drinking and driving, they'll be charged with a criminal offence and they'll be treated like a criminal." Such a charge can be a first step to winding up in a maximum security security prison such as Collins Bay, where the Straight Talk awareness tours are conducted. Collins Bay has 700 inmates who arc locked up most of the day. In some cases, they may be in their cells for 23 hours out of 24. Segregation Segregation is interrupted only by rushed meals in a cramped cafeteria, visits in a supervised room, a half hour of cards in the common room, and half hour of exercise in a crowded yard. Patrol vehicles, guard towers and a 20-foot wall topped by razor wire surround the penitentiary. Prison is a scary and violent, cold and lonely place, Sauvé has found. He landed in maximum security ' Milihavcn immediately after his conviction in 1979. While there, he finished his high school diploma and started university, university, which counted in his favor when he applied for a transfer to medium security at Collins Bay. "School kept me out of trouble. It gave me direction and built my selfesteem," selfesteem," he said. "It was the key that kept opening doors." In fact, the first time he was allowed allowed out of prison in 10 years was to accept his BA in Psychology. He went on to cam an honors degree degree in criminology through the University of Ottawa and was eventually eventually transferred to minimum security security camp Frontenac in Kingston where he is today. Each month he is allowed 32 hours out in the community with prison escort. He chooses to use a good number of those hours speaking speaking to youths through the Straight Talk program. Sauvé often tells students that the biggest school is the school of life, where each challenge is a learning experience and can be overcome. He hears kids express the need ' for better communication with parents. parents. "A lot of youth feel that they can trust their friends. But the only people people who are going to stand behind them if they go to Collins Bay, or someplace like that, is their family, and those are the ones they should be depending on." Kids shouldn't be afraid to talk to their parents about problems in their lives, be it drugs, substance abuse or anything else. Bridging communication within the family is worth the effort. "It costs us $100,000 per year to keep a youth in closed custody. It doesn't even cost that much to send a kid to school." A book about the 1978 murder of Port Hope biker Bill Matiyek was first published in 1988 by MacMillan MacMillan press. Investigative reporter Mick Lowe relates the events that led to the conviction of six bike club members in "Conspiracy of Brothers." Brothers."
