Group fights drunk driving
September's 14 road crash deaths
send a strong warning during this
year’s Drug Awareness Week
campaign. Impaired driving is on
the increase in Ontario!
During the 80s drunk driving
dropped by over 40 per cent.
However, the 90s have begun with
a four per cent increase, according
to recently released statistics.
One organization taking action to
stop the carnage on our roads is
Concerns, Canada. Two initiatives
highlight the work of this citizen's
group.
S1PIT is a high impact course for
court referred, convicted drivers in
the Metro Toronto area, sponsored
by the Solicitor General &
Correctional Services in Ontario
This eight week course features a
victim impact session, confronting
drunk drivers with the human
suffering caused by their
irresponsibility. Success of the
programme is measured by the
number of drivers requesting
referral to an alcohol/drug
treatment facility, as a result of
SIPIT.
Many impaired drivers think
their only problem is bad luck.
Hopefully they feel differently after
this course. Their misinlormation is
quickly erased as they are helped to
speak. One of the chiidren asked
him if he knew anyone who died in
the war. Ross told them about a
friend he had made at Training
Camp, a friend that did go over to
fight. Ross himself was injured at
Training Camp and didn't go over.
His friend was killed on D-Day.
Ross thought that this guy could
have gone on to be a teacher or a
lawyer but he never got the chance.
He encouraged the kids to become
peace makers to start right here at
home, in the school yards and
everywhere. Then maybe we will
have peace in our world.

the hard working group.
examine their own drinking
patterns.
Knowing that prevention saves
lives, Concerns, Canada has just
released a comic and resource
booklet for young drivers. ‘Risky
Realities: the Real Story on
Drinking and Driving’ presents
startling facts without preaching.
For young people the message is
clear. Drinking and driving will
cost you dearly. One conviction
and you will end up paying as
much as 400 per cent more for your
insurance, after you get your
licence back!
Limited quantities of ‘Risky
Realities’ are available by
contacting Concerns, Canada. The
organization is searching for a
corporate partner so that young
drivers across Canada may have the
benefit of this valuable resource.
Concerns, Canada is a national,
not-for-profit, charitable organiza
tion working to achieve healthy
lifestyles free from alcohol and
other drug abuse, for all Canadians.
Its programmes include: Toe
Alpha, a youth group for 14 to 24
year olds and two Institutes on
Addiction Studies for professionals
engaged in prevention, treatment
and aftercare.
Nathan DeWit, Tina Bueckert,
Gerrid Dalton, Greg Bowers,
Michael Dietz, and Kayla Bishop
each representing their classes,
layed wreaths at the Cross that was
set up in front of the activity room.
Rev. Randy Banks said a prayer
and Taps was played. Everyone in
the school observed one minute of
silence.
Jay Cochrane and Trisha
McClure went to Brussels to lay
wreaths at the Cenotaph. Also
representing Walton School was
Nathan DeWit, Heather Dietz,
Adam McKichan and Lindsay
McNichol.
Some very pretty baskets were
turned out that morning.

Viola Kirkby and Marjory
Huether greeted worshippers
attending Duffs United Church this
Nov. 13. Jennifer McClure lit the
Christ Candle.
Rev. Randy Banks welcomed
everyone and announced that nexj.
Sunday the Sunday School will be
hosting a soup and sandwich
luncheon after the service. He
reminded everyone that the orders
for cheese and frozen food need to
be in by next Sunday as well.
Received into the Church of
Christ through Holy Baptism were
John and Ruthie Uyl's infant
daughter, Emily Rose and Blake
Emerson, son of Sandy and Rob
Sangster. Shannon Gibbons shared
in the service by pouring water into
the Font. Viola Kirkby took each
baptized child and introduced them
to the congregation.
Rev. Banks's sermon was called,
"Are You Religious?" Religion
may be defined as a human attempt
to establish a right relationship
between ourselves and something
beyond ourselves which we believe
to have life-giving significance, he
said. It is an attempt on our part to
do the establishing while God very
passively accepts what we do.
Rev. Banks read a statement that
has made him do some thinking.
"Jesus Christ came into the world
to put an end to religion." What are
we doing when we express our
Christian faith or participate in
worship? he asked. "Are we
making a show of our piety and
worthiness? Does baptism save us?
Receiving Communion? Reading
scripture? Praying? Our acts of
Charity? Giving our Offering?
No, he said, salvation is not the
reward of any one of these actions.
Christ has already completed the
work of salvation. But we are a
religious people in the sense that
we assume that there is some creed,
cv't. or rodo of conduct we must
follow that will allow us to be right
with God.
Rev. Banks answered the
question of whether or not he is
religious by saying yes. His
challenge is to be less religious and
more faithful and trusting as a
redeemed sinner with whom God
acting in Christ has established a
right relationship that he could
never do by any of his own words
and actions.
