Wednesday, August 25, 1999 THE OAKVILLE BEAVER C5 FALL INSTRUCTION/BACK TO SCHOOL Advice for new drivers Young drivers have always been involved in a disproportionate number of accidents. In fact, people under age 20 make up five per­ cent of drivers, but account for 10 percent of traf­ fic fatalities. Without running through all the rules of safe driving, here are a few tips new drivers should keep in mind when they hit the road, regardless of their age. • Investigate driving schools thoroughly before choosing one. Check out exactly what and how you'll be taught, and switch schools if you're not satisfied. Don't look for shortcuts. Passing a driving test doesn't necessarily mean you're a competent driver. It's the skills you learn in driving school, not the license in your pocket, that will determine your abilities behind the wheel. • If your driving experience has been most­ ly under ideal conditions, be ready to adjust when the road conditions change, such as in snow and rain. That means decreasing your speed and increasing the distance between you and other vehicles. • Like weather conditions, nightfall affects how you should drive. At night, you can see only one-sixth the distance as during the day. Your for­ ward view is limited by the range of your head­ lights, and in rain, snow or fog, that range is limit­ ed even more. Reduce your speed accordingly. • Do you have night myopia? You may not realize this until you start driving at night, but if you have trouble focusing and seeing in the dark, make an appointment with your eye doctor. • As a passenger you may not pay much attention to the route. When you're driving, how­ ever, you must be ready to make all your moves. Plan your route before you head off, and anticipate things like exits. Making hesitant or sudden lane changes or turns puts everyone on the road at risk. • "Don't drink and drive" is one of the most important safety rules for all ages. This is even more important for people who are inexperi­ enced with the effects of alcohol or who don't drink often. If you're out with friends where alco­ hol is served, appoint a designated driver. If you're a passenger, never get into the car with a driver who has been drinking. Keep some extra money on hand for a cab, or get a ride with someone else. • Just because you have your license does­ n't mean your driving education has to end. Other defensive driving programs can increase your safe­ ty skills. It's a lot cheaper investment than paying for accident repairs or higher insurance rates.

Education linked to employment (NC)--According to national research commissioned by CIBC, between 1989 and 1997 youth employment dropped by over half-a- million jobs, which means one in every five jobs filled by young people has disappeared. There are more troubling statistics. The proportion of young people who have never held a job doubled in the 1990s from 10 percent to 20 per cent. Education was found as the single greatest determinant of employment and earning power. Over 200,000 youths are neither enrolled in school nor participate in the labour market. This is the group of youth that is most in need of assistance. There are hundreds of organiza­ tions dedicated to youth, offering help to overcome the education barrier. If you have time, volunteering at a youth organization is a great opportu­ nity to become involved in your com­ munity. Youthvision, a recent initiative by CIBC, is a collection of hundreds of programs that directly benefit youth across Canada. Working with groups like Big Brothers and Sisters of Canada, YMCA Canada and Frontier College Youth Program to name a few, these initiatives are focused on keeping youth in school.

"So Long Size 16... Hello Size 8" My name is Mamie Fertal. I'm a full-time student. I lost 51 pounds in six short months. I kept my weight off fo r over 3 1/2 years. The story you are about to read is true and factual. It happened to me. By Mamie Fertal I lost 51 pounds without dieting. It was easy. My dress size plunged from a size 16 to a petite size 8 and it was effort­ less. If someone had told me this was possible five years ago, I wouldn't have believed them. Out of Control I was overweight my entire life. In my house junk food was everywhere. The shelves were lined with cookies, chips and snack cakes. I told myself the weight was in my genes. Look at the rest of my family. They're fat too. One day 1 realized 1 was out of control. 1 wanted to lose weight but couldn't. 1 felt helpless. I craved. I binged. I got depressed. The more I tried to diet the more 1 thought about food. I wanted to be a model. Even took modeling classes. Learned the postures. How to walk and talk. My body betrayed me. I was miserable about my weight. It broke my heart to be around those skinny girls. I felt like an outcast. I found excuses to miss class. I dropped ouL I was on an endless dieting roller coaster. One stupid diet after another. Take a little off. Put more back on. I starved on shakes. Gained weight with diet pills. Pain, suffering, misery. I went out less and less. 1 sat home, lonely and afraid. I looked at my family and saw no end in sight. Being overweight hurt. Stop the Pain My mother heard about hypnosis for weight loss from a friend. She said hypnosis made her weight loss easy. I gave them a call, went in, discussed my problem, signed up and lost 51 pounds. That was 3 1/2 years ago. Hypnosis gave me back control. I know my weight loss is permanent. Keeping it off is effortless. Instant Change Immediately after my first hypnosis session I noticed changes. I stopped thinking of food all the time. My cravings totally vanished. My self-confidence soared. I felt gung-ho about life. No more cravings. No more binges. 1 was amazed when the hunger pangs vanished. Now I am on the go all the time. I am getting A's in my college courses. I feel comfortable around everyone I meet. When I was over­ weight no guy would look at me...I don't have that problem anymore! W hat a Discovery People ask me what hypnosis is like. Does it work? Many folks tell me they think they can't be hypnotized. I tell them, YES! You can be hypnotized. Hypnosis is safe and I natural. Like being awake during a pleasant dream. I joke with my brother that hypnosis is the lazy per­ son's way to weight loss. It's relaxing and fun. Yes, Yes, Yes, it works. I'm living proof that hypno- n sis gets real and genuine weight loss results. The M irade Don't think I'm an isolated case either. My Dad lost 33 pounds. My brother lost 65 pounds. Hypnosis was 100% responsible for our weight loss success. So there you ? have it. Three people, 149 pounds. It was ' easier than we thought possible. Our results with hypnosis are a dream come true. Dreams Came True Hypnosis made my weight loss success possible. They gave me confidence, better health and a slim, attractive body. They helped my dad and brother too. That's why I believe hypnosis is the easiest way to lose weight and keep it off. It cost much less than expensive diet programs and I didn't have to fuss with weighing, measuring or count­ ing. What a relief to know I will never have to diet again. When I was overweight no guy would look at me. I don't have that problem anymore!"
