HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Citizen, 1993-04-28, Page 12ANDREA'S SCHOOL KEEPS HER MIND ACTIVE.
TOO BAD THEY FORGOT ABOUT HER BODY.
Andrea is one of thousands of
Canadian children who can't even
run around the block. She also
has high cholesterol. She's only
ten years old.
Like many Canadian children,
Andrea spends 25 to 30 hours
in school each week — sitting.
She has less than one hour of
physical education.
According to recent studies,
children who participate in
physical education on a daily basis
are more physically fit, less
susceptible to stress, have better
health habits, and perform better
academically.
Imagine what Andrea could
achieve if her mind and body were
both active!

Seat belt campaign begins
Milton,- Gloucester, Ottawa and
London have achieved the highest
seat belt use in Ontario and are
setting an example for the rest of
the province said Transportation
Minister Gillies Pouliot April 19 as
he launched this spring's seat belt
education and enforcement cam-
paign.
"In these four cities, more than
90 per cent of drivers use seat
belts," said Pouliot. "Their achieve-
ment is a challenge to all drivers
By Christina De Wit
At the first meeting of the Ethel
Fatigued Fingers the following
officers were nominated: pres.,
Rachel Van Veen; vice pres., Lisa
Blake; sec., Christine Knorr; press
rep. Christina and Cynthia De Wit;
treas., Julie Terpstra; youth leaders,
Wanda Martin and Amy Russ.
Barbara Martin and Linda Russ are
the leaders.
Mrs. Russ showed the two basic
and passengers in Ontario to buckle
up and be aware of the need for
proper seat belt and child safety
seat use."
Although seat belt use is
mandatory in Ontario, statistics
show that province wide only 84
per cent of drivers obey the law —
three per cent fewer than the
national average.
"Safety is a top priority at the
Ministry of Transportation, but it's
everybody's responsibility," said
stitches, the cross-stitch and back-
stitch. Members began working on
a cross-stitch design for their first
project.
The second meeting started with
the 4-H pledge. Everyone
continued with their cross-stitch.
The youth leaders led in a game
which involved a lot of thinking.
Then everyone continued stitching.
The meeting ended with the 4-H
motto.
Pouliot. "The campaign's message,
Seat Belts Save, is designed to
educate and remind people that as
well as saving lives and reducing
human suffering, wearing a seat
belt can save unnecessary legal,
medical and insurance costs."
The Ministry of Transportation is
launching the campaign in partner-
ship with police forces and the
Ministries of Health, Solicitor
General and Correctional Services.
Throughout the campaign, police
forces across the province are
stepping up their enforcement
efforts to emphasize the seat belt
law and the need for drivers and
passengers to wear seat belts and
use child safety seats each time
they get into a vehicle.
"You only need to see the
injuries and fatalities resulting from
motor vehicle accidents to realize
the importance of wearing a seat
belt," said staff sergeant Fred
Schell, a member of the traffic
enforcement management commit-
tee of the Ontario Association of
Chiefs of Police. "The simple click
of the seat belt or child safety seat
can save a lot of lives."
Statistics show that drivers
wearing a seat belt are twice as
likely to escape injury in a motor
vehicle collision. As well, correctly
restrained children are 14 times
