Call Contact 526-9333 Hours 9a.m. to5 p.m Monday to Friday (except Holidays) The Big Run for Little Brothers is drawing close, the date is Monday, June 12 for the Midland Penetanguishene area. So have you signed up as a sponsor for one of the runners? If not why not approach a member of the team that will be participating and «give them your pledge. Since Big Brothers is a non profit enterprise, more money is needed to increase and expand the services of this area Did you know that there are nearly 400,000 fatherless boys in Canada today, through no fault of their own, but less than 10,000 boys are presently being reached by the Big Brother movement. So you can well understand the great need for expansion. All monies raised by the "Run" stay in our own community and thus you will be helping a little brother. For any further information, or if you would like to run, please call Contact at 526-9333 On May 30 Contact had their last Service Club Luncheon for this season. At this luncheon the guest speaker was Ms. Priscilla Reeve, the Provincial Co ordinator of the Community Work Orders Project under the Ministry of Correctional Services. Ms. Reeve defined a community work order as a means of dealing witha non violent offender in his own community A judge may decide that the person appearing before him for sentencing will benefit more by performing some direct or indirect service to his community rather than receiving another form of sentence. The work must be meaningful to both the offender and the recipient Possibly one of the greatest benefits of community work to the offender is that it concentrates on his abilities and skills rather than on his problems. As an alternative sentence to either imprisonment or a regular probation order, a community work order may stipulate any one of a number of alternatives. An order may have. no bearing on the crime committed, thus giving the offender a general social service type of activity to accomplish' which is of tangible benefit to the community. Working with handicapped, coaching a sports team or cutting grass for a senior citizen are some of the possible activities On the other hand, those committing acts of van dalism may find themselves cleaning up and repairing the damages they have caused. Ms. Reeve went on t say 'that in this way offenders are encouraged to us and develop skills and abilities that benefit the com munity and which the community can actually see being used for the common good." None of the work undertaken through such an order will displace members of the community from paid employment. A Judge in the Province of Ontario frequently uses three basic options in the sentencing of an offender - im- prisonment, a fine or a term of probation. Im- prisonment is often seen as not appropriate and the costs to the taxpayer have become prohibitive. Fines do not affect all people equally Therefore a Judge may stipulate that an offender will spend a specified number of hours doing work to the benefit of the community. At the present time Contact has a community work order with a young man to assist senior citizens in his leisure time. This man can cut grass or clean up a garden, paint, change storm windows or any odd jobs an elderly person cannot do themselves, so please call Contact at 526-9333 if you need help Happiness is helping others to help themselves.
