Marlene Price, public health manager, community developer Bonnie Baynham of the Huron County Health
Unit and Huron -Bruce MP Paul Steckle share a laugh Friday at the Huron County Health Unit as Steckle
announces a $50,000 donation to the Take Notice project, an anti -bullying initiative.

Huron County youth are leading the charge
against bullying with a little help from their
friends.
And, thanks to a $50,000 grant via the fed-
eral government as part of the National
Crime Prevention Strategy, which invests in
community approaches dealing with the
underlying causes of crime and victimization,
the project, known as Take Notice, is a giant
step closer to completion.
Community developer Bonnie Baynham of
the Huron County Health Unit, who has been
working side by side with area youth on the
expansive bullying awareness and prevention
program, welcomed Huron -Bruce MP Paul
Steckle to the health unit office in Clinton
Friday to give thanks for the support.
The money, says Baynham, will help cover
the remaining cost of Take Notice, which fea-
tures an informational DVD filmed by Central
Huron Secondary School graduates Jesse
•Spaleta and Isaac Elliott Fisher.
The project also includes a detailed facilita-
tor's guide, which is in the process of being
completed.
Steckle says supporting this type of initia-
tive for Huron County makes sense since bul-
lying is such a major concern among youth.
Indeed, notes Baynham, bullying and vio-
lence were listed as the No. 1 concerns of
youth in a survey conducted last year, fol-
lowed by substance abuse and stress.
Steckle says it is important for witnesses to
violence and bullying to speak out.
"We need to report these things," he says.
Baynham says the DVD and facilitators'
guide deliver the right combination of infor-
mation and tools to use in delicate situations.
"These two young incredible filmmakers
produced a 20 -minute DVD that depicts real
life situations," says Baynham, noting the
ongoing project has included youth from start
to finish.
The package, she says, outlines varying
forms of bullying from gossip to alienation
while also providing youth with
ways to both defend themselves and
come to the aid of others.
"The ,program encourages
becoming courageous and empathet-
ic to others," she says., noting the
guide includes exercises so that par-
ticipants can practice using anti -bul-
lying strategies.
All told, says Steckle, money
on the program is well spent since
youth need to learn how to deal with
the power of peer pressure since bul-
lying never really ends.
The overall project is a part-
nership between the teen health
committee, Women Today of Huron,
Avon Maitland District school board,
Foundation for Enriching Education,
Ontario Students Against Impaired
Driving (OSAID), Huron Safe Homes
for Youth, Huron Addiction Services,
Human Resources and Skills
Development Canada and Huron
County youth.
