Page 6 The Canadian Statesman. Bowmanville. July 2, 1997 High School Quarterback Gets Attention of NCAA Div. I Schools Bgwmgnvjjje Athlete Selected as MVP gt Recent Football All-Star Game in Toronto by Jennifer Herr Stall Writer In spite of a recent move to Bowmanville, Rob Fillmore doesn't want to leave Henry Street High School in Whitby. And it's highly ALL-STAR - Rob Fillmore, of Bowmanville, was recently named the offensive most valuable player during a high school football all-star game in Toronto. The quarterback threw for over 200 yards in the game. His ability on the football field has drawn some interest from NCAA Division I schools such as Michigan State. His athletic ability isn't restricted to the football field. He is the catcher on his high school's baseball team, the centre on the basketball team, and is a member of the Ontario under-17 rugby team. unlikely that Henry Street wants to lose him. Fillmore, 17, was recently named Offensive Most Valuable Player during the Durham York High School Football All-Star game at Lamport Stadium in Toronto. And that, he says, is in spite of a slightly disappointing disappointing regular football season. "During the high school season, I didn't do as well as I expected," says the quarterback. But, he says, things changed for the better during during the All-Star game. "We threw a lot that game," says Fillmore, who had over 200 yards in passing. Fillmore's season was good enough that not only arc Canadian colleges and universities universities approaching his. coach for information, but he has received some preliminary information information from American colleges, such as Michigan State, which is an NCAA Division I Big Ten team. Fillmore is an all-around athlete, who also plays catcher in baseball, and centre in basketball basketball at Henry St. As well, he is a member of the Ontario Under-17 Rugby team at fly half, and plays with the Oshawa Vikings rugby club in both the junior and men's league. Much, of Fillmore's sporting prowess was gained while growing up in South Africa, where he began playing rugby by the the time he was eight years old. He says there are very definite differences between sports in South ■Africa and Canada. "Over there, the skill level is up, but there's not as much demand on coaching. The coaching coaching is a lot tougher here," says Fillmore, who stands about 6'3". He says his height has a lot to do with his football success. "The offensive line is getting a lot bigger, so the quarterback has to be a little taller, to see over them," he says. But he says the reason reason for his All-Star game success has little to do with him. "I had great coaching," he says.

Ashlee Herrewegen and QUESTION: Telma, in your last article you were explaining how it is a good idea if you find that your child has flat feet, to bring them ■ in for an evaluation by a physiotherapist. What's next? Physiotherapy will cut right to the heart of lire condition and change the arch. The degree of change, however, depends on the individual. Consider that there are different degrees ol flat feet. In standing, if the arch has sufficiently flattened so much that the person Is actually walking on the inside of their arch then orthotics become very Important. We need to support that arch and keep it from getting getting any Hatter. In another Instance, the child's arch disappears when they stand on It, but it Is not severe yet to the point where they are walking on the arches themselves. Physiotherapy is the solution In the last Instance'. To understand how, lot mo walk you through Hie throe phases of an examination. Lot's take the example ol the eight year old girl that 1 used last week. Her doctor noticed that she has Hat feet and asked me to examine her and give my opinion on the condition. She has flat foot on both sides, but more on the loll side. The lirst thing I did was a Computerized Gait and Pressure Analysis on her. This showed that she was taking too much weight on her loll heel. Secondly, I did Hie Straight Log Raise Tost. Willi the client lying down, I examined the tension ol her log muscles. muscles. Witli her log straight, 1 lifted up Iter loft log and Hi cm compared the tension to that ol lifting the right log up. My findings? There was a significant difference. Her right log lilted up easily and lier loll log only hall the distance In the lilt and you could tool a lot ol hamstring tension In the loft log. Lastly, I did a detailed examination ol the foot ns tar ns the ability to move the fool Joints. Tills Is called a Comparison Tost - comparing the lorofool, the foot from Hie ankle up, the toes and so on with the hind tool, and comparing II the Matt Ouyang walked away with the female and male rookie-of-the year award. The club's coaching staff is.made up of GM Mike Holbrook, head coach Karen Holbrook, Blake Beaudctte (assistant age group coach) and Diane Jenkins (head coach of the novices). hind loot can move property and it the forefoot can move property. I lound that the forefoot, the toes from the ankles up, moved very well, but that the hind loot, the heel, was stuck and twisted in. When I attempted to twist the left heel out, it would not do this for me whereas on the right side it was perfectly normal. The condition of this child's lett heel is called an Inverted calcaneus or a twisted heel and it is a direct result ol the Hat loot condition. To understand how, let's relate it back to the Hat feet. One ol the big purposes ol the loot Is to walk. They lake our body weight and transmit it to Hie ground as wo walk. The most common reason why an arcli flattens is because we still have to got the foot to the ground. It one part ol the loot cannot move, like the heel, and it cannot move well as it should, thon the forefoot will compensate. compensate. When this happens, over lime a Hal loot results. In order to correct correct tills kind of Hat loot, wo need to correct the twist In the heel. Physiotherapy will decrease the twist In tile hoot. If that heel is not twisted In anymore then there will bo loss reason for the rest ol the loot to twist In, so long as the arcli is not already flattened and the person is not walking on the Inside ol llio arch. Tills is more likely the case with a young child. (It Is also possible with adults but treatment lakes a little longer.) My solution for tills young lady is to start her on a course ol physiotherapy physiotherapy lor the purpose ol corroding the twist In llio heel and, ultimately, to help with hor lint toot. Wo will find a change In llio tininess In the loot In about 80% ol llio cases. In the other 20% ol the cases, they may have to go on and got orthotlcs. If you have a child with Hat loot or have flat loot yourself, make an appointment with your physiotherapist and got on examination.
