March comes in like a lion
By Alan Rivett
March was ushered in like a lion Monday as
Southwestern Ontario was hit with the
biggest winter storm this year.
The whole province ground to a virtual halt
as 50 km -hr winds gusting up ,to 70 km -hr and.
10-15 an of snow caused drifting snow and
whiteouts which made driving conditions •
extremely treacherous.
The. storm began early Sunday night and
continued 'on through Monday morning.
Monday afternoon . the snow changed to
freezing rain and ice pellets with tempera-
tures near freezing. .
Almost all schools in the area were closed
along with most roads in the Lucknow area.
These included: Highway 8 from Mitchell to
Goderidi, Highway 4 south to Elginfield and
Highway 86 from Amberley.
Other areas of the .province felt the full
effect of the storm as 200 cars were
abandoned on the QEVW near Toronto. The
freezing main caused alarm in the Chatham
area because it would add to the flooding
which maimed last week
Snow and snow squalls are predicted for
the area for Tuesday and Wednesday with
Milder temperatures predicted for the latter
part of this week

Sentinel readers will see a new face
conducting interviews and taking pictures
for the newspaper over the next several
months. Alan Rivett, a native of Dungan-
non, is .working with Signal Star Publish-
ing during a work term in the last
semester of a three year print journalism
course at Centennial College in Scarbor-
ough.
carborough.
. He will be working with the Lucknow
Sentinel, the Seaforth Expositor and the
Clinton News Record assisting with
especial editions and the weekly issues of
the three. papers : fromnow until June.
Allan is presently assisting Sentinel editor
Sharon Dietz with the editorial content for
the special farm edition, the Sentinel
plans to publish with its March 20 issue.
Alan is also working on stories and
aking pictures for the regular editions of
:he Sentinel. Look for his pictures of the
flea hockey tournament.
Alan is a son of Jim and Sandra Rivett
of Dungannon and a grade 13 graduate of
Goderich Collegiate Institute. He chose
journalism . because English was his
"strongest suit" in school and he has
always been interested in writing.
He has decided to seek employment
with a weekly community newspaper
because he can't picture working in the
fast paced environment on a daily paper
and he's heard stories at college of daily
reporters suffering "burn out" in a
relatively short time. Alan says he
intends to stick around for a while.
Streetpr�ofing your children...
•from page 3
leave' a diild unattended in a public place.
Shopping .malls and parking garages are
out of bounds to adolescents.
Use a code word with your children. If
someone is sent to pick them up at school
or at a friend's house, they must give the
code word before the child will accompany
them. Change the code word after it is
used once.
Teadi your child about emergencies, if
they are Left alone at home. unexpectedly.
Have them plan what they would do in this
situation. Teach them to sit down and
prepare their plan if they find they come
home and unexpectedly no one is there.
Practice with your child. Playa game of
"what if". Ask the child to tell you what
they would do in a certain situation. Teach
your child there is a certain space around
them which is theirs and no :one should
invade that space unless they have their
permission.
If your-diild is the victim of an assault,
do not alarm your dmild, says Keil. The
hear that surpasses all others is that they
ave done something to lose your love.
Try to remain calm. If you cannot control
your anger, make sure the child under-
stands you are angry at the person who
committed the assault
Do not .accuse your child. There is 'a
`blame the victim' syndrome in our
society, says Keil. Ask open ended
questions, your drild will need to talk Do
not deny or minimize the story of the
assault and do not correct the child's.
version or the words she uses. /
Reassure the diild s -he is right to tell
about the assault and reassure them they
are not to blame. Allow questions and
talking as an outlet for their feelings. Keil
suggests the parents seek medical advice
and legal advice and report the assault as
it is the law in this province.
Most important, says Keil, remember to
stay close to your diild. Whether the
assault is a sexual assault or an attempted
abduction, the child may have been
threatened with their life and the offender
may have threatened the lives of their
parents. Keep the child near to you
following the ordeal.
