My two grandsons, along with their pal, were sitting directly behind the Newmarket players' players' bench where they could see, but have the protection of the glass partition. Myself and two of their mothers were two rows behind, thinking we were well within sight and care of the little guys. A shoving match turned into a speering and stick swinging act at the Bowmanville bench, which can almost be expected in Junior Hockey. However, when the Newmarket players poured onto the ice to get involved in the brawl, and the Newmarket coaches started Letter to the Editor swinging sticks at the Bowmanville bench, it was not expected. It was time to get my little friends away from the glass partition. As I stood to make my way down, a few despicable low-life fans rushed at the Newmarket bench to join the fight. With total disregard for anyone else, one of these upstanding hockey fans kicked one of the seven year olds in the cheek. We rescued the other two and took them to the warm room. Some good things did happen happen however, many of the Eagles' patrons showed concern concern for the little guy. Durham Regional Police Called To Control Bench Clearing Brawl by Jennifer Herr Staff Writer The Bowmanville Eagles hockey club looked like a con-, tender on Friday night in game four of their Provincial Jr. A quarter-final playoff series against the Newmarket 87's. The only question is - were they after a hockey or boxing title? The game was marred by a bench-clearing brawl late in the third period, after the Eagles had already doubled up on Newmarket 8-4. With just over two minutes left to play, the game was delayed as Durham Regional Police were called to the Garnet B. Rickard Recreation Complex to deal with over- zealous players and fans. The Eagles lost four players to suspension due to the fight. Injuries were many but minor. Head coach, Guy Jacob,, was cautiously optimistic after the game, saying he hoped the win and brawl didn't "wake the sleeping giant" in Newmarket.

The girls in the canteen provided ice for his cheek, and a stranger gave me his hanky to wrap the ice in. It was "Toonie" night and many children attended this game. What was missing, for such a large crowd, was the presence of any police. It is well known in this day of cut backs that the police are just too busy. It is also well known that bringing in off-duty police is a common practice. Neither were there any St. John's people. Come-on, Eagles' Management - If you want children at these games at least offer them some form of protection. I realize this sort of thing could happen anyway, anyway, but not likely if the police were right there as a deterrent. In spite of all this nonsense, nonsense, the little seven-year- old said he still wants to go and see his favourite Eagle - Captain Gary Adams.

Grant r.p.t. Car Accident & Pain Management I QUESTION: Telma, I was in a car accident 2 years ago. I have had a course of physiotherapy and I have a good home program. I still have a lot of pain in my back and my insurance company has told me that it would be helpful if I could get some pain management. Can you tell me what you do with this? Pain management is one of the newest buzz words in the rehab industry. industry. Pain management can encompass all kinds of things from postural education, education, (teaching you how to have good posture while you are doing your daily activities), to education for stress management, to how to manage your pain at home. Basically what pain management means is for the patient to have some control over their pain when it arises. You are in a situation' where you have been in a car accident 2 years ago and still have some residual residual or chronic pain. You may have been told that you may have this pain for life, and at this stage you may be looking for a way to control this pain with an acupuncture-based program. You have already done some pain management with your rehab program because the exercises that you have been taught are a component of pain management. Our pain management program is acupuncture based. The objective of the program is to teach patients how to •self-treat to control their pain. The low back is where patients most often report pain. But what actually actually perpetuates this pain are muscle spasms, or trigger points, in areas other other than the low back. First we identify these trigger points. The common locations locations for these trigger points are the ankle, the abdomen, the armpit as well as the jaw and sometimes the neck and the hand itself. These are the common locations of some trigger points. Treating these points control the low back pain. We select the three most involved trigger points. They are very tender on examination. When treated, the patient's back range-of- motion improves. In the first session of our pain management program we identify the three most involved trigger points. We then teach the patient how to self treat these trigger points. There are many treatment tools you can use. One that is common is a tennis ball. If you use a tennis ball and tap around the trigger point the vibration will help to release the muscle spasm and increase blood flow to the area. Another way to do this is to use an Acuhealth Tens which is an electrical hand held acupuncture, unit. Each treatment session involves checking for range-of-motion and painful painful movements, treatment of the trigger points, teaching the patient proper posture posture and how to treat the trigger points themselves, then réévaluation to see how treating the trigger points helps to resolve the patient's pain. Often it is the way a patient sits at their desk and things they do day-to-day at work or at play that contribute to their continuing pain and these issues are also brought up and discussed. It is very much a home treatment plan because it is expected that the patients will self-treat on a daily basis, monitor their progress and report back to the therapist.. The aim of the program is to get the patient independent. After the first six weeks of twice per week, the patients are seen for a further six weeks once a week in order to make. sure that they can carry through with their program. If you still have chronic pain after the car accident you may Want to give this approach a try.
