Building Canadas FutureI am running in the beautiful new riding of Burnaby North Seymour as a Liberalcandidate because I want to be part of building Canadas future, and restoringthe foundation of equal opportunity and evidence-based policy that has beeneroded over the last decade. As an adjunct professor at SFU and UBC, I teachstudents who worry about their future opportunities and getting a job. Givingour next generation the tools and opportunities to succeed isnt just goodeconomic policy, its our moral obligation. As part of our Canadian LearningStrategy:

The Liberal plan will provide $1,000 a year over four years to every highschool student to use for college or university. For students in low incomefamilies, the amount will be $1,500 a year.

We will make a $40 million annual investment to help employers create newco-op placements for science, technology, engineering, mathematics andbusiness.

North Shore residents know the impact of inadequate investment in transitinfrastructure, and the impact it has on the environment. A new Liberalgovernment will:

Quadruple federal investment in public transit

Work with municipalities to determine priorities for nearly 20 billion newdollars in transit infrastructure, addressing issues such as Seabus serviceduring peak periods and congestion bottlenecks such as the Lynn CreekBridge.

Whether its looking for a way to address congestion or improve education, Ihave a reputation for forging innovative solutions and getting things done.

Having met recently with the District of North Vancouver FirefightersAssociation, Im honoured to receive their endorsement and these words fromtheir President:

Terrys understanding of community service comes from experience throughhis career as a municipal councillor, and his work with charitable organizationsWe are confident that he will represent this riding with strong integrity.

Unlockedcars aneasy targetfor thievesJANE [email protected]

Apparently the NorthShore is considered sucha crime-free zone byresidents that theyremaking it easy pickingsfor thieves who havebeen helping themselvesto iPods, phones, andwallets from vehicleswithout breaking a sweat.

Both the NorthVancouver RCMPdetachment and WestVancouver Police arereporting a recent rashof thefts from vehicles.Frustrating for police isthat in many cases thevehicles were left unlockedwith valuables left inside,sometimes in plain sight.

Its almost like havinga sign saying Steal me, said Const. Jeff Wood,spokesman for the WestVancouver police.

Wood said, despitewarnings and commonsense, certain residentsof West Vancouvercontinue to advertise theirbelongings in unlocked carsthat are parked in dimlylit areas, thus resultingin a buffet of personalmerchandise to steal.

In the last week alone,30 thefts from vehicleswere reported in WestVancouver, said Wood.Thefts from vehiclesare also up in NorthVancouver. Items stoleninclude everything fromelectronic devices tosunglasses to bankingdocuments.

Wood said thefts havebeen spread all overthe municipality. Manyvehicles have been parkedon the street outside ofowners homes or even intheir driveways.

Ironically, part of thereason for so many theftscould be that people be-lieve they wont be targetedin their neighbourhoods,he said. People believeWest Vancouver is a safecommunity. It is a safecommunity. We all knowthat. So do bad guys.

Wood said thieves takewhatever they can grabquickly and easily withoutmaking any noise.

His message toresidents: dont leave yourwallet or your iPhoneon the console overnightand be surprised when itisnt there in the morning.Remove your valuables andlock your vehicle. Wereasking for help, he said.We only have so manyboots on the ground.

Achocolate box ofmemories

JANE [email protected]

The faded black andwhite photographs andhandwritten letters inlooping script speak of adifferent time.

It was when people inthe cities wore hats anddressed up in their bestcoats to go shopping andwhen life in the countrywas dened by hardmanual labour and theneed to make hay beforethe winter weather closedin.

The photos and theletters tell the stories ofsomeones family history.But at this point the NorthVancouver RCMP say theydont know who that isand theyre looking for thepublics help.

The box of memorabiliadating back 100 years wasrecently turned in to thedetachment after someonefound it tossed aside nearthe North Vancouver CityLibrary. The photos andletters were contained in anold Turtles chocolate box.

Cpl. Richard De Jong,spokesman for the NorthVancouver RCMP, said itspossible the box was takenduring a break-in at a homethen later tossed aside.

De Jong said policewould like to return thebox to its owner. Itprobably has historical andsentimental value.

But there arent manyclues about who that maybe.

One an obituarynotice for Ronald GrahamMcEachern who died at

Lions Gate Hospital in July2000 has so far not ledpolice to family members,said De Jong.

Meanwhile, thecontents of the box offera snapshot of another era.One handwritten letterfrom 1916 was penned onstationery from the PeaceMotel in northern B.C.,

where rooms apparentlycost $2.50 and upand came complete withelectric lighting.

Most of the photosappear to be of familymembers a grandmothercelebrating her 94thbirthday in 1938 stands in along black dress with a lacecollar. In several photos,

a young man poses in hisSecond World War eraarmy uniform.

Anyone who can identifythemselves as a familymember connected tothe box of memorabiliacan contact the NorthVancouver RCMP at 604-985-1311 to arrange for itsreturn.

minister under our system ofgovernment.

Theres going to be a lotof claims that the party thatwins the most seats shouldbe the government. Its nottrue, he said.

Regardless of the seatcount, Stephen Harperwill remain the primeminister and will have therst opportunity to formgovernment, although, thatspretty unlikely to last if theConservatives dont hold themost seats, Moscrop said.

I think its unlikelytheyll survive. It is almostcertain theyll be defeatedand defeated quickly, hesaid.

From there, it will befor the parties to workout amongst themselveswho can command thecondence of Parliamentand name a prime minister.It might take a bit of time.There might be a bit ofuncertainty, Moscrop said.

The ensuing powerstruggle will undoubtedlyprovoke a robust publicdebate about what isdemocratic and what islegitimate, Moscrop said,although in his experience,most Canadians dontunderstand the ner pointsof a Westminster-styledemocracy such as ours.

People know very littleabout it and a lot of whatpeople think they knowis incorrect, he said. InCanada, we dont elect thegovernment or the cabinetor the party or the primeminister. We elected aParliament of MPs whothen work out amongstthemselves who they want torun the country.

The party in thestrongest position to forma government will have toenter into a formal coalition,or, more likely, an ad-hocagreement with one of theother parties to supportthem on budget bills andother votes of condence in

Parliament, which must passin order for the governmentto survive.

It (would) look a lot like2004 did under the (Paul)Martin minority. The NDPwould have signicant inputinto the throne speech, intothe budget, into the wholeparliamentary agenda and

they would agree to supportthe Liberals, Moscrop said.

In the event that theConservatives win the mostseats but not a majority,theyll probably have atougher time getting thesupport of the Liberals and/or NDP. Without enoughvotes to pass a budget,Harper could stay in powerby delaying the sitting ofParliament until as late asJune 2016.

There will be pressureon the prime minister tomake his intentions clearand to call Parliament fairlyquickly although in theory,he could wait, Moscropsaid.

The last time thathappened was underProgressive Conservative JoeClarks minority governmentin 1979 and it didnt turnout well for Clark, whosegovernment fell shortly afterParliament began sitting.

That sent us to a generalelection and Pierre Trudeaucame in and just crushed

the Conservatives and tooka majority, largely becausepeople were upset with Clarkfor dithering for so long,Moscrop said. I think thatif (Harper) ends up in aminority, hes done. Theother parties wont supporthim and if he waits too longto call Parliament, the publicis going to lose it. Hell loseall credibility and he riskstanking the Conservativesfor a decade. Nobody wantsto be the prime minister whogenerated a constitutionalcrisis.

And no matter who isprime minister when thehurlyburlys done, dontexpect their government tolast long, Moscrop added.

A couple of years wouldbe a pretty good haul fora minority government.This one will probably beparticularly volatile. I dontthink its out of the realm ofpossibility that were doingthis all again in the springor summer, he said. Godhelp us all.

Aminority govt could be short-lived

A couple of years is themost we could expect froma minority government,says UBC political scientistDavid Moscrop.

and title, Campbell said.The assessment

represents an exercise inSquamish Nation self-determination by movingbeyond mere consultationand getting to First Nationconsent. Our decisiontoday reects the interests,the will, and the beliefsof our members. It is ourfuture our decision tomake, Campbell said.

The provincialenvironmental assessmentfor the project is stillongoing, as is SquamishNations assessment

for the Fortis B.C. gaspipeline, which will lead tothe plant.

Although a clearmajority of band councilvoted in favour, there ismuch more oppositionamong Squamish Nationmembers, according toactivist Clarissa Antone.

The band membersare totally against theLNG, Antone said. Ifyou look on Facebook,theres a lot of angry,angry members.

Antone said shebelieves the environmentalrisks are too great,pointing to other places

in North America whereFirst Nations have beenimpacted by energydevelopment

They even have togo and buy their water. Idont want that to happento our children, she said.I will never allow thisto happen. I will keepghting this. I dont wantit to happen. Its not goodfor us at all.

Antone said she wouldcontinue to attend bandcouncil meetings andencourages fellow nationmembers opposed to theproject to do the same.

Byng Giraud, vice-

president corporate affairs,Woodbre LNG, saidhe was pleased with theupdate and the process.

This has been a longtime in the making. Westarted engaging theSquamish Nation in mid-2013, he said. Its a newand innovative process soI think we were taking abit of a risk but SquamishNation treated us fairly.It was a rigorous process.

We knew we were going tohave to meet some higherstandards and additionalconditions by enteringthe process, he said.These are signicantconditions. There are costsand additional work thatsgoing to need to be donebut if thats what it takesto earn their support, ifthats what it takes to meetthat higher standard, wereabsolutely willing to do it.

Risks too great, say somebandmembers

Dear JohnWeston and Andrew Saxton,

Thank you both for your guidance and support

in having the substanceof our Submission inclu

ded in the recent federal

budget thus achieving amajor benet for RRSP/

RRIF retirees. Converting our Submission to the

House Finance

Committee into actionby the federal governme

nt in less than a year is remarkable. Our Submis

sion reduced the

former mandatory minimum annual RRIF

Withdrawal Factors so that future retireme

nt income could increase

with age thus providing retirees with greate

r income into their 80s and 90s. Our Focus G

roup, listed below had

extensive experience in the investment, actuarial

, accounting, legal, income tax, and pension adm

inistration elds.

We knew to eect change we had to work within

the parliamentary system. As Member of Parliam

ent, for many of

our Committee, JohnWeston, you advised us to

consolidate our thoughts onto one page and ma

ke our Submission

containing a practical solution directly to the Ho

use Finance Committee. You also suggested we

organize a public forum

in the community and have a petition signed by

attendees. Once submitted, you took our Submi

ssion to the Minister of

Finance and to the BC Caucus as well as gaining

the support of other Members of Parliament acr

oss Canada.

Andrew Saxton, as Parliamentary Secretary to t

he Minister of Finance,you were able to suppor

t our Submission with

the Minister of Finance,within the Ministry itse

lf, as well as with other Members of Parliament in

cluding both prior to

and through the FederalBudget approval process

.

This success gives onegreater condence in

our parliamentary system whereby a proper

ly constituted grass roots

committee, without any political or corpor

ate aliation, is ableto make a submission

through ones Member of

Parliament, and haveits substance reected

in new legislation andregulation to the bene

t of all Canadians.

Thank you again Johnand Andrew for your

hard work in Ottawafor achieving increase

d and more timely

Dear Editor:Myself and many other bus riders are

experiencing difculties on bus route 232. Thebus is and has always been unreliable on thisroute.

Currently there is a gap of 29 minutes andthe bus frequently runs behind time, makingit very unreliable. With winter approaching,standing in the cold (and) rain and feelingstressed trying to gure out why your bus is lateor has not arrived is not pleasant.

Everyone needs to be on time to work orto appointments. Often, (transit) users aretransferring to another route to reach their naldestination.

When the bus is unreliable, it affectsemployment records, not to mention stress

levels, missed or late arrivals etc.In the past couple of weeks it has caused

(a bus rider) a half-hours pay for the timelost and if this keeps happening might causesomeone his/her job.

Every evening there is a long lineup for userswaiting at Phibbs Exchange for the 232 busand I hear people complaining about this routeevery day. We need the 232 bus eastbound/westbound to run every 15 minutes during peakperiods, if not all day, then peak hours. (6:30 to10 a.m. and 2:30 to 7 p.m.).

We would also like to point out there is nobus running on this route after 9:48 p.m. fromPhibbs.

I have heard from students who aretravelling late from their classes from Simon

Fraser University, the University of BritishColumbia and Capilano University and notto mention individuals working at Park &Tilford or the surrounding area who are havingdifculties getting home.

The bus 232 should be running on this routeuntil 12 at night as this is the only bus runningon the route. It is not safe (for) anyone havingto walk home at night in winter.

We have contacted TransLink.TransLink advised us to contact the MLAs

ofce. The MLAs ofce emailed saying tocontact the mayors ofce. We have emailed allparties including the councillors.Manjit Janua andSusan CouplandNorth Vancouver

VIEWPOINT

Closing the dealA s candidates, pundits and nallythe voters come gasping over thenish line onMonday, theresprobably one thing they can agree on:its been a long and exhausting electioncampaign.But before we can be truly done with

it, theres an important step left: markingyour ballot.While its tempting to believe a single

vote wont count, in close races such asthose weve seen in all three North Shoreridings, each vote counts more than ever.Unlike some elections past, what

happens here and elsewhere in B.C. couldbe crucial to determining who formsgovernment and what sort of governmentthat is. With a minority government adistinct possibility, the popular vote couldalso weigh heavily in terms of who hasearned legitimacy to govern.

If youre reading a newspaper editorial,youve probably got voting gured out.Wed encourage you to chat to others those in your book club or on your soccerteam to get them to do the same.If youre unsure of who to vote for,

check out some of the many stories wevecovered in the North Shore News. Youcan nd them online at nsnews.com underthe election tab. There are also online toolslike Vote Compass that can help you gureout how your priorities stack up againstthose of the parties.There are many ways of reaching a

decision. But voters who get out onElection Day are the ones who get to closethe deal that remains the power of theballot box.Important decisions are still made by

those who show up. Make sure youre oneof them.

THEYSAID IT


During Wednesdays bat-poo crazy playoff baseballgame between theToronto Blues and TexasRangers, I discovered acure for those afictedwith frequent bouts ofacting like a completejackass during sportingevents.

The cure is otherpeoples children. Nothingseems to cool down ahothead in a pressure-packed situation like havingrandom neighbourhoodchildren milling aboutwith their impressionableeyes seeing all, virgin earshearing all, and boogerynoses smelling nothing.

Like any good citizen, Iskipped out of work earlyon Wednesday to catchthe biggest Blue Jays gamesince the Kelly Gruber era.And all was going basicallyaccording to plan throughthe rst six innings as theJays and Rangers playedgood, hard, back-and-forthbaseball.

Then, just as theseventh inning began, mywife arrived home with myown son and three otherfriends in tow so that therewere now a total of vechildren under the ageof nine milling about ourliving room during this do-or-die game.

Thats when things gotreally weird. Im going torecap a few of the craziestthings that happened inthat wild inning, alongwith descriptions of how I

would have reacted on myown compared with how Iactually acted with childrenstrewn all about.

Note that all thesechildren go to Frenchschool so they wereconversing only in French,a language I barelyunderstand, and I am notmaking this part up theywere passing around anaccordion throughout theentire inning. Heres how itwent down:

Top of the 7th, scoretied 2-2, none out: Texasyoungster Rougned Odor,who had been killing theJays all series, ripped asingle.

What I wanted to do:Yell Forget that guy!Except using another wordthat starts with the sameletter as forget.

What I did: Asked acute little girl how her dayat school went.

Still tied 2-2, TorontosJosh Donaldson makes anamazing barehand catchand throws out one of the

fastest runners in the game.What I wanted to

do: Yell Thats yourM-forking-V-P right there!Wooooo! Except usinganother word that startswith the same letter asforking.

What I did: Showeda wee gaffer some extrabuttons on the accordion.Trs bien!

Toronto catcher RussellMartin tries to throw theball back to the pitcher butit hits Shin-Soo Choos batand rolls away harmlesslywhile Odor scampers hometo potentially score thego-ahead run. Meanwhilethe umpire waves his handsin the air and orders Odorback to third base. Itseasily one of the weirdestbaseball plays Ive everseen and its about topotentially cost the BlueJays a trip to the LeagueChampionship Series.

What I wanted to do:Yell three words: What.The. Cluck!? Except usinganother word that rhymeswith cluck.

What I did: Staredstraight ahead with a fakesmile while my sons calmly

and adorably played catchtogether without whippingthe ball at each othersfaces.

Meanwhile on the eldthe umpires confer andchange their call, awardingOdor home plate andgiving Texas a 3-2 lead.

What I wanted to do:Throw the TV remoteat the TV screen. YellDuuuuuucckkk! Except well, you know.

What I did: Kept staringstraight ahead, completely

ignoring my younger songetting beaned square inthe face over and over byerrant throws from hisbrother. And by errantthrows I mean errantthrows.

For the next 13 minutesToronto manager JohnGibbons argues the callwith the umpires, oneof whom has a wad ofchewing tobacco stuffedinto his cheek that isliterally the size of abaseball.

What I wanted to do:Nice call, buddy. Maybeyoull get mouth cancerreally soon. That would be sad.

What I did: Silentlystewed.

After the Texas run isconrmed the Torontofans lose their minds,throwing insults at theumpires and garbageonto the eld. A beer canthrown from the upper

Wanted: input onbus route [email protected]

TransLink is proposing torejig some North Shoretransit routes, includingeliminating a direct busfromWest Vancouverto UBC and having anexpress busmake fewerstops fromHorseshoe Bayto downtown Vancouver.

Seven North Shore busroutes would been affectedunder the potential changes aimed at redirectingtransit resources to areasof higher transit usageincluding the new EvergreenLine in the Tri-Cities.

A proposed redesign ofthe 257 express bus routefrom Horseshoe Bay todowntown Vancouver cutsout some stops in between.

TransLink spokeswomanJennifer Morland said 85 percent of people riding the 257are going from downtownVancouver directly to ParkRoyal or Horseshoe Bay.

Eliminating a bus thatdirectly connects students inWest Vancouver with UBC,the No. 258, is also beingconsidered.

To compensate for thatproposed change, whichwould see students havingto transfer to another bus,

TransLink is looking atincreasing service on the 250and 44 Express buses thattravel to UBC. Morland saidthe 258 has been identiedas a high-cost passengerroute because of lowerridership.

Introducing a two-wayservice for the 254/256routes, connecting theBritish Properties with ParkRoyal, would prevent ridersfrom going around in a circlejust to get to Marine Drive,said Morland.

Meanwhile, when theSeaBus isnt running, the242 and N24 Lynn Valley/Upper Lonsdale buses travelthe same route up Lonsdaleuntil 29th Street, wherethe 242 continues northand the N24 takes a right.TransLink said its lookingat mirroring those routes tomake it less confusing forriders.

TransLink is askingfor public feedback on theproposed changes until Nov.6 in the form of a surveywhich can found online attranslink.ca.

Morland said some of theproposed transit changes, ofwhich there are 85 LowerMainland-wide, could beimplemented as early as2016.

What I wanted to do:Yell Forget you peopleof Toronto! You dontdeserve this team! Exceptusing a different word thanforget. Never forget.

What I did: Read a bookcalled Cars, Trucks, Planesand Trains to my son.Youll never guess whatthat story is about.

The game nallyrestarts and Choo strikesout, ending the inning.Now in the bottom of theseventh, the Rangers aprofessional baseball team commit three straighterrors to load the bases.

What I wanted to do:Jump on the couch! Jumpon the bed!! Find our atlas,open to the North Americapage, jump on Texas!!!

What I did: Excitedjogging in place.

With one out,Donaldson hits a weirdbloop that oats just pastOdor, dropping for a singleto score the tying run.

What I wantedto do: ScreamWooooooooooooo! Buckyeah! Except using a moreexpensive word than buck.

What I did: PragmaticWoo.

With the score tied3-3, two on and two out,Jose Bautista comes up tobat. Massive home run.Massive-er bat ip.

What I wanted to do:Couch ip. Dance. Buy acannon, shoot it at the sun.

What I did do: Grab myboys. Dance.

Then the two teams

almost got into a brawl,then Toronto made theirthird out, then they almostgot into another brawl.At this point, the kidsnally stopped playingthe accordion and startedreacting to what was onTV. I looked up to seewhat fascinated themso much: the Blue Jaysmascot was dancing on thescreen.

Two relativelyuneventful innings later theJays closed out one of thewildest games ever played.

I danced some more,

and surveyed the scene.With all those children

around I didnt get tounleash my deepest,darkest sports fan beast.But I didnt kick a hole inthe wall either.

My TV screen; theinnocence of thosebeautiful children; myatlas; the hopes anddreams of the TexasRangers: only one of thosethings was shattered.

Two local men wererecently inducted intothe Mountain BikeHall of Fame in honourof their extensivecontributions to thebuilding of local trails onthe North Shore goingback to the 1980s.

North VancouversTodd Digger Fiander,56, and Bowen IslandsDangerous Dan Cowan,44, were honoured bythe Marin Museum ofBicycling, a bicycle historymuseum and culturalcentre located in Fairfax,Calif. The non-prot,educational and volunteer-run facility is the newhome of the MountainBike Hall of Fame, whichwas founded in 1988 inCrested Butte, Colo.,according to its website,mmbhof.org.

Its nice to get aformal recognition.Digger and I both, weve

had recognition, but itsinformal recognition. Thatrecognition really onlycomes from the hardcoreswho have been aroundand know the scene. Itsnice because there has

been countless, literallythousands of hours outthere. . . . For most peopleits hard to fathom howmuch time was put in,says Cowan.

The hall of fame credits

the duo with buildingmore than 35 North Shoretrails, encompassingapproximately 55kilometres.

Fiander started to buildtrails in the 1980s.

He laughs when herecalls the early days.

should get one of thesebikes and come up onthe mountain, they said,Aw, its a fad. Itll nevertake off. Theyre laughing(now) too because theyreriding the trails and havingfun and thats all itsabout, he says.

In addition to trailbuilding, Fiander producedand lmed a number ofwell-known North ShoreExtreme videos from1997 to 2010. The lmsnot only showcased hisand Cowans hard work,but also a variety of localfreeriders, Cowan for one,and Wade Simmons, who

the duo is grateful to fornominating them for thehall of fame.

Its a great honour andId like to thank all thepeople out here for ridingand using the trails, saysFiander.

The longtime friendswere inducted into theMountain Bike Hall ofFame together.

Weve got a greatrelationship. . . . I lookup to him and I thinkhe thinks quite highly ofme, the same way I doof him. We have mutualadmiration, says Cowan.

Cowan came on thelocal mountain bikingscene a little later than

Fiander, doing most of histrail building work in the1990s and early-2000s.

He recalls ridingFianders trails, hisfavourites, long beforeactually meeting him.

When the pair dideventually meet, theybecame fast friends.

We really thoughtabout mountain biking ina whole different way thanpeople had been thinkingabout mountain bikingaround the world, saysCowan.

The fact that the NorthShore became famousfor mountain biking wasdue partly to the naturaltopography of the land,says Cowan.

The environmentbasically produced Diggerand I, he says.

However it took peoplelike them, armed with themotivation, enthusiasmand drive to truly put it onthe map.

Before it was just thechosen few who would beriding up there. Now wehave, on one of the trails,Expresso, 3,000 peoplea month riding it, saysFiander.

Fiander also helpedco-found the NorthShore Mountain BikeAssociation in 1994 andremains actively involvedin the organization, a voice

for the local mountainbiking community thatworks to protect andmaintain local trails, andfocuses on sustainability.Fiander currently serves

as trail director and invitescommunity membersto the associationsupcoming fall trail days.For more information, visitnsmba.ca.

FIT&HEALTHYConcussion: Facts andPhysiotherapy!

Advertisement

Concussion is an invisible epidemicin BC particularly amongst youngathletes and those over 55 primarilyfrom sports trauma and falls. A personcan get a concussion from a blowdirectly to the brain OR a blow toany part of the body that causes themovement of the head. Awhiplashtype effect on the brain can cause aconcussion.

While emergency care at the scene ofa concussionmay be excellent, followupmanagement often leaves victimswith residual symptoms that impedetheir ability to return to learn, workand play.

The range of concussion symptomscan span frommild dizziness, nausea,headache, balance or eye symptomsto full loss of consciousness.

Neck pain accounts for 80%of postconcussion symptoms and therecan be symptom crossover. SidneyCrosbys concussion in 2011 drew

huge attention from the specialistsbut hewas eventually diagnosedwith an upper neck soft tissue injury.

Research tells us thatmost ofconcussions heal within 7- 10days. This is where early skilledphysiotherapy intervention is aneffective tool to properly assess boththe brain (balance, vision) spinaljoints and soft tissues. Educationis key in the early stage so thatadequate physical and cognitive restis established.

Many cases of post concussionsyndrome are due to poor earlymanagement. In addition tomanualtherapy, acupuncture and IMS, asymptombased progressive exerciseprogram is the tool that guidesour return to learn, play andworkprotocol. A patient anxious to returntowork or playmay report symptomsimproving but this is not always atrue reflection of the brains recovery.

This is why physiotherapymanagement is crucial to tailoringthe return to learn, play andworkprocess. The consequences foran individual returned to activitytoo soon, who receives a secondconcussionmay be serious andlong term even resulting in deathknown as Second Impact Syndrome(Rowan Stringer and Zachary Lystedt).For amateur athletes, we also offerbaseline testing, whichmeasuresall areas of brain function before aninjury occurs.

This National SchoolSafety Week, Oct. 17-23, the Canada SafetyCouncil encouragesyoung pedestrians andcyclists to dress brightlyto be seen, according to awritten statement.

As light levels drop,drivers have more difcultyseeing pedestrians andcyclists on the road, saysJack Smith, president of thecouncil, an independent,knowledge-based,charitable organizationdedicated to the cause ofsafety, in the press release.Wearing bright colours andretro-reective material canhelp you stay safe whilewalking and cycling, headds.

September to Novembertend to be the worstmonths of the year foryoung pedestrians gettinghit by motor vehicles. The

riskiest time of the day forpedestrians and cyclists tobe on the road is in lateafternoon, at night, andin dim light conditionswhen they are less visible todrivers.

Any time a car needs itsheadlights, visibility canbe improved by wearingclothing with retro-reective markings. Retro-reective materials bouncelight back towards the lightsource, so they will appearvery bright and stand outfrom the background whenheadlights shine on them.

Research shows thatpedestrians and cyclistswearing retro-reectivematerials are more likelyto be seen and recognizedby drivers. The best placeto sport retro-reectivemarkings is on the armsand legs.

To help kids be bright

and be seen, the CanadaSafety Council is offering alimited number of retro-reective crafting kits tointerested teachers andchildrens group leaders.A retro-reective craftactivity can help launcha wider discussion withyouth around pedestrianand cycling safety. [email protected] orcall 613-739-1535 toorder your kit. Teachersand childrens groupleaders names will beentered into a contest towin a 3M product giftbasket compliments of thecompany.

Also, kids can challengethe adults in their lives toa friendly road safety quizposted on the councilsElmer the Safety Elephantwebsite at elmer.ca.

The following are somepedestrian safety tips

for kids:1. Be bright: Wear clothingwith retro-reectivepatches and make sureyour bicycle has reectorsand a light.2. Ensure drivers have

seen you before you stepoff the curb by making eyecontact.3. Leave the phone aloneand turn down the tuneswhen crossing the street.4. If there is no sidewalk,

use the left side of the roadfacing trafc.5. And of course, lookall ways before crossing astreet, driveway or alley.

If you are bored with yourtness routine, or notseeing the results that youdid at the beginning, youmay be experiencing atness plateau.

A great way to getthrough a plateau orworkout rut is to challengeyour body in new anddifferent ways.

Here are three effectivemethods to bring yourworkouts to the next level:

Did you know thatyou can increase theintensity and effectivenessof an exercise simply bysqueezing a little harder?Next time you performbicep curls, stop near thetop of the movement andsqueeze your biceps hardfor two to three secondsbefore returning to thestarting position. Youwill nd that even with amoderate weight, your armsget a much better workout.The burning sensation canbe really intense so dont go100 per cent the rst time.

This is also effective

with many other bodyparts. When performingtricep pushdowns with acable machine or tricepextensions with dumbbellssimply stop at the extensionpart of the movement whenyour arms are straight andsqueeze your triceps fortwo to three seconds beforereturning to the start. Thismuscle squeeze is calledan isometric contraction,a type of contractionwhen your muscle doesnot change length. It isespecially effective whenperformed as part of a full-range exercise, but it canbe performed on its own. Ifyou are not in a gym, simplypress your palms together ashard as you comfortably canand hold for 10 seconds,two or three sets, and youwill feel the blood owing inyour chest muscles.

Another way you canspice up your workoutroutine is to experimentwith high repetitions. Itis common for peopleto perform eight to 12repetitions, but your bodycan adapt to that veryquickly. On your last set ofan exercise try performinga set of 35 repetitions witha lighter weight. This is agreat way to build isolatedmuscle endurance, andyou will often feel yourmuscles the next day,reminding you that youworked a little harder thannormal. Once you havedone 35 repetitions for afew workouts, if you are up

to it, try going all the way to50 repetitions for an intenseburn. It can be difcult toperform high repetitions, sobe sure to start slowly andprogress at a comfortablepace.

One of the most effectivemethods for stimulatingmuscle growth is a systemcalled strip sets. Withthis method perform twoor three sets of the same

exercise, decreasing theweight and increasingthe reps of each set. Forexample, if performing aclassic exercise such as abench press, start with aheavier weight that allowsyou to complete only fourto six repetitions, and thenmove to a weight thatallows you to completeeight to 10 repetitions, andnish off with a weight that

allows you to complete 12-15 repetitions. It is alwaysgreat to have a workoutpartner to help adjust theweights, but it can also bedone on your own. Thisis a great system becauseit utilizes both heavy andlight weights, so you targetyour fast and slow twitchmuscle bres. It is denitelynot easy, and not designedfor beginners, so dont try

this unless you have beenexercising regularly.

Be sure to consult yourdoctor before startingan exercise program andprogress at a pace that iscomfortable for you.
