With funding being cut to the
program, a local youth group
combatting tobacco use among
young people, Rebels With A Cause,
were forced to say goodbye last
week at the Huron County Health
Unit in Clinton.
The program, which was funded
by the Ministry of Health as part of
the smoke-free Ontario strategy,
began in 2006.
The group participated in dozens
of events all throughout Huron
County and even made an
appearance at the Toronto
International Film Festival in 2007.
The group began at a movie night
at the Park Theatre in Goderich,
where they spread their message in
front of the theatre before the film
and then showed a short clip before
each show to demonstrate the
negative effects of smoking on
youth.
From that first appearance, the
Rebels rode their momentum,
appearing throughout the county,
advancing their message, getting
their name on the lips of youth.
They went to an Exeter Hawks
game, the Clinton Spring Fair, the
Canada Day parade in Goderich and
the Zurich Bean Festival.
The group also had several events
where they went to the youth and
engaged them.
At the Western Fair in London,
they held a concert called No Bull,
where Walter Gretzky spoke. They
also had a movie night at Central
Huron Secondary School where the
movie Grease was shown. The theme
of the night was to stomp out smoke,
so every time tobacco was used on
screen, the audience and the group
stomped on the ground of the
auditorium.
The group began its annual Butt
Clean Up in 2007. They began in
Grand Bend in 2007, cleaning up the
beach there, then moved to Goderich
in 2008.
They also set up booths at various
fairs and gatherings where they
featured activities like obstacle
courses and games on Nintendo Wii.
Volunteers were given weighted
vests and then were invited to
complete the game again, simulating
how it might feel for a smoker to
play.
Several members of the Huron
County Health Unit were on hand to
praise the group.
There were also past and present
youth advisors who had worked with
the Rebels over the years who spoke
of their effort, enthusiasm and
achievements.
“The Rebels’ presence in Huron
County will be irreplaceable,” said
youth advisor Angela Ritchie. “They
have helped influence, not only
policy change, but also the attitudes
and behaviours of youth. Their
commitment to the community has
been impressive. The Rebels have
become a household name in Huron
County.”
Warden Ken Oke praised the
group, saying that he was
disappointed to hear that funding to
the program had been discontinued.
He joked that while their message
had fallen short of some ears on
Huron County council, their work
has been widespread in the county.

Cause ends for Rebels
By Shawn Loughlin

Every holiday weekend this past
summer, the Ontario Provincial
Police has delivered important
safety messages in an effort to gear
Ontarians up for a safe and pleasant
summer.
Now that the last long weekend of
the summer is almost upon us,
motorists are once more being
warned and reminded that the OPP
will exercise zero tolerance towards
those who commit offences on
roads and lakes this weekend.
Motor vehicle collisions and
boating incidents are not accidents,
said the police.
They occur through
circumstances that can be avoided
completely if common sense is
reflected in one’s behaviour when
driving a vehicle or a boat.
“Unfortunately we often see that
common sense does not always
prevail,” said Const. Joanna Van
Mierlo.
As a result, OPP officers from
Huron County and across the
province will be targeting drivers
who are caught speeding, drinking
and driving/boating, driving
aggressively, making unsafe driving
manoeuvres, failing to buckle up,
and hauling marine vessels and
trailers dangerously.
Plan ahead. Remember that traffic
will be heavy so don’t get upset
when travels are slow. Plan drinking
so it is done safely. Stay away from
the water when consuming alcohol.
Remember PDFs when boating.
They will not do any good stored in
the hull of the boat if it capsizes or a
person is injured.
Add to this list to avoid speeding
and driving aggressively.
Finally remember to wear a
seatbelt.
“If we heed these tips, we may
very well be headed for a successful
and safe last long weekend of the
summer of 2009. Remember that
lying around doing nothing is a lot
more relaxing at the lake than in the
hospital,” said Van Mierlo.
“Have a safe and memorable
Labour Day weekend, and make
sure that you and your family live to
talk about it for years to come.”
OPP issue reminder
for long weekend
