It could be the start of a beautiful friendship. was westbound on the highway at Concession Road 3 of West Nissouri Township. Judge Alan Baker said he was treating the case the same way he would treat another motorist lacing his first offence for drinking and driv- ing in which there hadn't been a death. "That may not be entirely understandable to many people. There is no relationship between what you had to drink and the fact there was an accident in the first place," Baker told Campbell, a factory worker and volunteer fireman in Lucan. Baker was told the accident hap- pened at a spot in the road where it suddenly narrows and becomes unlit. Assistant Crown Attorney John Sutherland said police who later re-- enacted the situation found a motorist, driving as Campbell did, would have been unable to avoid striking a bicycle that, like Houston's was not bearing lights. "I cannot suggest to the court that alcohol was the cause of death," Sutherland concluded. Police officers who responded to the accident noticed few signs of impair- ment in Campbell aside from the smell of alcohol on his breath and glassy eyes. Had he not blown a "fail" on a roadside breath test, police wouldn't have had any grounds to charge him, the prosecutor said. The dead man was carried more than 40 metres (130 feet) in the colli- sion and -his bicycle was imbedded in the car grille, Sutherland said. au._ YOUNGSTERS PARADE — Many Kirkton and area boys and girls participated in Saturday's fair parade. Houston was travelling on the pave- ment and wearing dark clothing at the time. Defence lawyer Don Crawford said his client has been living with charges from the accident for nearly two years (counts of impaired driving and criminal negligence in the operation of a motor vehicle were withdrawn when he pleaded guilty Thursday). Crawford said Campbell was retur- ning from a visit to relatives at the time of the accident. Since that time his friends in Lucan have been so con- cerned they contributed to a defence fund for the father of two. The defence and prosecution lawyers urged the judge to fine Camp- bell, rather than send him to jail. Area people at conference Thirty young adults between the ages of 18 and 21 attended the 18th an- nual Young Leaders camp, organiz- ed by United Co-operatives of Ontario (UCO) and the Co-operative' College of Ontario at Geneva Park, near Orillia. The participants, each sponsored by either a co-operative or a credit union cable from across the province, to attend these two camps, each of which were one week long. On the agenda were leadership and communication skills, interpersonal skills and co-operative/credit union history and business philosophy. "Today, farmers realize they, like any other businessman, must control as many facets of their business as possible," says Reg Cressman, UCO director of education and public rela- tions. "They must concern themselves not only with the science of production, but with the equally im- portant aspects of management, marketing, communication and rural leadership. "The co-operative system offers them the opportunity to have their needs, as they exist beyond the farm gate, expressed in the marketplace. The participants of these camps are tomorrows leaders and our goal is to help give them skills they can use in this capacity. During the 18 year program of these camps (formerly called Youth Camp), over 450 young people have participated. Today, many of them are leaders in rural and agricultural organizations. One early graduate is Claude Gauthier, elected last year as UCO Director, zone 1 (northern Ontario). Attending from this area were Karen Ann DeJong, RR 1 Brucefield; Jacqueline Rasch, RR 2 Lucan; and from the Parkhill area John Hen- drikx, Susan May Royackers and Anne VanderVloet.
