A4 THE OAKVILLE BEAVER Wednesday May 5, 1999 C a r r a l l y t o r a i s e a w a r e n e s s o f r o a d s a f e t y The winner of the 1999 Car Rally for Road Safety on May 30th may not be the fastest driver in the event, but they will be the safest. Organized by the Oakville Road Safety Coalition, the rally is designed to be a fun and entertaining activity that will educate participants about road safety, while drawing attention to the fact that road safety is the biggest concern of Halton residents. 'Traffic concerns are the biggest thing people bring to the Halton Regional Police and community consultation com­ mittees," said Patti Eix, Chair of Trafalgar Community Consultation Committee and member of the Oakville Road Safety Coalition. Eix says common road safety com­ plaints involve speeding, running red lights, stop signs, passing school buses, turns made from wrong lanes, and ignor­ ing pedestrian crossovers. The rally involves a driver, a naviga­ tor and as many people as there are seat belts for in a car, following instructions on where to go. Each team is marked on how they perform each of the traffic situ­ ations as they unfold. Teams are not marked on how fast they complete the activity. "It's to put road safety in people's faces," said Eix. 'Teams will be marked on everyday traffic situations that you don't even think about, such as stop signs and running lights. The rally begins in the south parking lot of Oakville Place and finish at Halton Regional Police Headquarters, on Bronte Road, with a barbecue, entertainment, and prizes. The Grand Prize is one free day at Doug Annett's Skid Control School for the winning driver and navi­ gator. Thirty-five cities are holding the 1999 Car Rally for Road Safety this year. Registration costs $10 a vehicle, and all money collected is being donated to HEROES 2000. Teams can enter into the rally in an open class and a corporate class. Rally media sponsors to assist in advertising the event are needed for $35. The car rally will also kick off Oakville's participation in Ontario Road Safety Challenge; a week dedicated to raising awareness about road safety from May 30th to June 6th. A Child Safety Seat Clinic is also being organized by the Oakville Road Safety Coalition where volunteer inspec­ tors will examine child safety seats.

A va ilab le at; Classics School of Dance 282 Church St. Pilates in Downtown Oakville By Stephanie MacLellan Ballet dancer Christine Markus danced professionally in both New York City and throughout Europe for 17 years. During that time she trained body limber to meet the harsh physical demands of professional dancing. Pilates (pronounced pil-ah-tees) Works™ is a non-impact exercise system that stretches, tones and lengthens muscles. "Pilates has kept me from serious injury from rigorous daily rehearsal schedules," said Christine. As a matter of fact, Christine so believes in the system that she want­ ed to make it available at Classic Dance Studio Inc., the downtown dance studio she owns with her husband, professional ballet dancer Tibor Markus. After nine months of extensive Pilates training with Moira Stott at the Stott Conditioning Training Centre in Toronto. Markus' now offers Pilates Works™ to the the public. They teach Pilates on a private basis. A thorough assessment of the clients condition is followed by a personalized program formulated by one of the Markus' based on the results. They then train the client on one of the machines that use movement and resistance, such as the "Universal Reformer," "the Cadillac," "the Ladder Barrer and others. Although Pilates Works™ was originally developed for dancers, Christine says the benefits for other athletes such as golfers, tennis or squash players, moms-to-be, figure skaters and even active children are tremendous.
