SMOKED • (PORK CHOPS 3.49 lb., Steckle calls for corporal punishment . by Patrick Raftil A return- to corporal punishment would "put the fear of the Lord' into violent criminals and deter them from becoming repeat' offenders, says Huron Bruce MP' Paul Steckle, "Corporal punishment must he introduced for those who choose not to he governed by more con- ventional -methods," said Steckle: a rookie hack-hencher in the fgderal Liberal government, In a Standing Order (an MP's opportunity to speak on the topic of their .choice) delivered in the House of Commons. May 11. Steckle, a Zurich -area native cap- tured a great deal of attention with the statement on. corporal punish- ment, an issue which has been making headlines since an American youth was recently sen- tenced to caning" for acts of van- dalism in Singapore. The statement prompted so 'many interview ,requests Steckle's office faxed' a text of the statement to all area newspaper's the following day. • In an telephone interview from Ottawa. with The Lakeshore Advance, Steckte said the timing• of the statement was related to the publicity given the Singapore inci- dent, but stated he has long believed. in corporal punishment as 'a deterrent to crime. "This is an issue that's been dear to •my heart for a long time. Not that I like to see people hurt, but I think I havr to look at the whole: prospeL.tu, of who the people are that are being % rcumried and who are the real victim, in society.

It's about time we started talk- ing about the,real victims - the ones who have been left without loved ones, who have been left with people who have been bruised or hurt and, in many cases. person- alities have been affected because of the way they've been treated, and I think it's time we started looking at what is working as a•' deterrent in our society. And, obvi• - ously, what we've been doing has not been working," Steckle said. A return to corporal punishment also makes sound financial sense. said Steckle. "We just don't have the money any more, to build more institu- tdons and do these kinds of things. We have to look at methods that, in the past, worked. And they will work again if we give them the opportunity; because, in parts of the world, as expressed in this statement, they work."
