A: A concussion occurs when there is a direct or indirect blow to the head that causes the brain to be jarred. Physical Symptoms of concussions include but are not limited to headache, dizziness, nausea, feeling unsteady, ringing in the ears, double vision, simply "not feeling right". Cognitive symptoms include: confusion, amnesia, disorientation, poor concentration, and memory disturbance. Emotional symptoms include: feeling of depression or moodiness and Physical signs of concussion include: loss of consciousness or impaired consciousness, poor coordination or balance slowness answering questions and following directions, reduced balance, altered playing ability. Research studies have demonstrated that mouth guards are effective in preventing oral and dental injuries and it was thought that they might also play a role in dissipating force that the brain sustains with a head injury thereby reducing the magnitude of impact on the brain, BUT no large research study has been able to demonstrate a significant difference in the rate or severity of concussions depending on the mouth guard used. So in summary that mouth guard that you are wearing does more to protect your smile than protect your brain. CORRECTION NOTICE The Acoustic Circus ad that appeared in the Tuesday January 8, 2013 edition of the Independent & Free Press ran in error. No concert had been planned. We apologize for any confusion this may have caused. Halton Police nabbed fewer people for impaired driving during their 2012 Holiday RIDE campaign than the pre- vious year. During the blitz, which ran from Dec. 4 to Jan. 2, police stopped 18,538 drivers across the region and made 32 impaired-related arrests. The previous year, 17,396 vehicles were stopped re- sulting in 37 impaired-related charg- es. In Halton Hills and Milton during the 2012 campaign police stopped 5,872 drivers, laying nine charges for having over 80 mg of alcohol in 100 ml of blood and four impaired charges. Police also issued nine three-day sus- pensions and two seven-day suspen- sions. During the 2011 campaign in Hal- ton Hills and Milton 4,866 vehicles were stopped and nine charges were laid for having over 80 mg of alcohol in 100 ml of blood and eight for im- paired driving. In Oakville last month 6,591 vehicles were stopped in the RIDE (Reduce Im- paired Driving Everywhere) campaign and police laid three charges of having 80 mg of alcohol in 100 ml of blood and three impaired charges. In Burl- ington police stopped 6,075 vehicles-- laying eight charges of having over 80 mg of alcohol in 100 ml of blood and fi ve impaired charges. "The Halton Regional Police Ser- vice is committed to enhancing com- munity and road safety within our region through the enforcement of im- paired driving offences, and especially through the RIDE program," said Dep- uty Police Chief Andrew Fletcher. "In partnership with our communi- ty, we can collectively respond to and prevent impaired driving offences, and we encourage citizens who suspect a driver is impaired to contact 911 to re- port their location." Fewer arrests made, but RIDE campaign results in 32 impaired charges Phone calls placed by citizens in Halton Hills and Milton resulted in 11 arrests and 26 impaired-related charges this past holiday season. Last Thursday Halton Regional Police re- leased results of its Safe Roads ... Your Call campaign, which ran from Nov. 24 to Jan. 2. The number of people arrested and charged this year is considerably higher than last year, police said. Between 2009-2011 the average number of charges was 13 during December. In December 2012, it was 22. These statistics don't include Halton Police's holiday RIDE campaign. The Safe Roads ... Your Call campaign saw community volunteers from Communities on Phone Patrol team up with offi cers to pro- mote awareness. They distributed some 170 information packages to businesses within Milton and Halton Hills. They encouraged citizens working in a bar, drive-thru, shop or restaurant to call the police on 911 if they saw or suspected an impaired driver. Police said businesses responded well by posting the notices and educating staff. At the end of the campaign, 11 911 calls from citi- zens reported impaired drivers in 1 District (Milton and Halton Hills) and a total of 26 impaired-related charges were laid. "No doubt these 911 calls helped keep our community safe," said Constable Paul Ru- dall, who initiated and co-ordinated the cam- paign. In conjunction with the campaign, offi cers from Milton and Halton Hills embarked on an aggressive enforcement and education cam- paign to identify impaired drivers who put their lives and the lives of others at risk and remove them from our roads, police said. Throughout the campaign, they located and identifi ed another 13 impaired drivers and laid a further 15 charges.
