Thunder struck
When Rev. Bonnie Cole Arnal, pastor of Duff's United
Church in Walton, heard the crack of thunder on Friday
night, she knew it had hit close to home, but she had no
idea just how close. The next morning Bonnie discovered
the church had been struck by lightning. This piece of
cement from the step was found on the highway. They
believe the steeple was hit and the charge travelled down
through the rail to the step. There was other structural
damage to the exterior and interior of the building, in
addition to the phone lines being blown out at the manse.
McGavin's Farm Equipment across the street had its
phones, computers and two-way radios hit.

If you’re like
most people, you’ll
look at this and
think rape.
Well, think again.
Because sexual
assault isn’t only
rape. It’s any
unwanted act of a
sexual nature
imposed by one
person on another.
And if you think
it’s always a dark
alley and a violent
stranger, you’re
wrong again.
More than half of
all sexual assaults
of women are
committed by men
they know.
It can occur on
a date. Between
friends. Even
Ontario
Women s
Directorate
between husband
and wife.
So most people
don’t think of it as
a crime. And often
it goes unreported.
But attitudes
must change.
Because against
our will is against
the law.
If your life has
been affected by
sexual assault, find
out what can be
done. Contact a
sexual assault
service. Or talk to
someone you trust.
Men must under
stand that sexual
assault is a crime.
Maybe then
they’ll think twice
about it.
