mad Terrace Review — - Wednesday, November 28, 1990 B7 Coun iter Att nds s strategy session Thornhill kids get ready for Christmas campaign Three hundred and fifty student -delegates from 40 northern schools, Terrace included, attended ICBC’s traffic safety conference in Prince George Nov. 15 - 17. For the third consecutive year, ICBC hosted five regional Youth Leader- ship conferences to promote traffic safety and awareness of the. hazards of drinking and driving for the benefit of high school students, With teacher andf sponsor Eliza- beth Metzmeier, seven students from Caledonia Senior Secondary School and 11 of the 15 active members of the Thornhill Junior Secondary CounterAtiack program participated in the Northern Con- ference. Gynette Gogag, Cliff Hartman, Kari Eisner, Keri Fell, Melanie Conrad, Sandra Douglas, - Michelle McMorris, Fran Walker, Johanna Payjack, Nola Haselmeyer and Yvette Renaud represented the Thornhill group. With students from Kitimat, the Queen Charlotte Islands and Kitimat, they travelled by bus and picked up other groups along the way. Metzmeier feels that the information shared and the friendships established on the way to the conference helped lay the groundwork for a more comfortable learning experience for the participants in the conference. The conferences were designed to motivate and enable secondary students to plan, implement and evaluate extracurricular projects that promote traffic safety activities in their communities. In addition to gaining valuable information on traffic safety issues, participants attended workshops on peer pressure, media participation in promoting the Counterattack program, stress management, pub- lic speaking with Toastmasters representatives conducting the workshop, a panel discussion on drinking and driving, and a testi- monial from the victim of an acci- dent. The Thornhil! Counterattack Club members identified Norbert, one of the guest speakers at the conference, as "the most powerful speaker", Norbert told them to do the following if they travel with a drinking driver: *turn on a porch light before leav- ing so the police can find their home *fill out an organ donor card, and *kiss their mothers good-bye All the Thornhill participants felt that (his was the most personal and potent message of the conference.
