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. Quina Gowan. Nicholas Giller, While waiting for the glue to dry on the baskets Helen Williamson and Margaret Craig did a short devotion. Marie McGavin made some very delicious muffins to feed 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.

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.
