"Winning is way cool," says CAG's president, Bert Dagnon. The Sifton/CAG alliance is'aimcd at one goal - putting the CAG car in the winner's circle. Canadian Auction Group has a multi-year contract as title sponsor of the race, one of just two national events in eastern Canada and very likely likely the jewel of the CASCAR season. Winning their own race is certainly a major motivation for this bold move, according to Dagnon. CAG has been incredibly aggressive about both its team and its sponsorship sponsorship of CASCAR's premier event in this, its first year of racing involvement. Although Sifton has never run CASCAR, lie's proven he knows his way around Mosport on several occasions, occasions, most recently placing second in the IMSA EXXON GT race there in 1996 and 3rd in a Turbo GT-1 Porsche in 1997. His fastest lap on the course was just over 1:21. almost 13 seconds faster than the fastest lap a CASCAR car has run in testing so far. Although he's a part-timer (his real job is as president of Canaska Corporation, an international import/export and engineering corporation), Sifton has been aggressive about his racing, both as driver driver and team owner. In 1993, David Empringham drove the Canaska Formula Atlantic car to the championship, beating Claude Bourbonnais and Jacques Villeneuve in the process. In 1996, Canaska was chosen factory team for the introduction of the Chrysler Viper GTS-R at Daytona. At the wheel, Sifton checkered several times in the early 90s in the IMSA Fi rehawk Series and took the flag in the Toronto Star 24 Hours of Mosport in 1993.

Georgetown end, the selects were unable to capitalize capitalize on their many scoring scoring opportunities. Despite being outplayed, it was Georgetown who had the best scoring chances in the first half on a pair of breakaway opportunities. In both instances, Darlington keeper, Danielle Scro came up with key saves. With less than 5 minutes remaining in the game, Sarah Hcaly raced down the right side beating a defender wide. Her tough angled shot found its mark just inside the far post for a 1 -0 lead. This goal would prove to be the margin of victory, as the girls held on for the victory.

Grant r.p.t. Rotator Cuff Tendonitis and Shoulder Pain QUESTION: "Telma, I have shoulder pain and I've been told that I have rotator cuff tendonitis. tendonitis. How can physiotherapy physiotherapy help?" The rotator cuff is a set of four muscles of the shoulder. They are so-called because they form a cuff for the shoulder joint. Three are in the back and one is in the front. The rotator cuff muscles muscles connect the shoulder blade to the upper arm, which is the humerus, via tendons. When the tendons become inflamed, the result is rotator cuff tendoriiti's/or inflammation of the tendons. Sports where athletes are particularly prone to rotator cuff tendonitis include golf, baseball, tennis and swimming. The important thing in treatment with respect to rotator cuff tendonitis is to realize the principle that no muscle operates independently, independently, all muscles work in pairs and they pull against one another like a pulley system. In the shoulder, one of the muscles that works with the rotator cuff is the chest muscles called the pectoralis. What happens when you get rotator cuff tendonitis is that the length tension of the muscles, and therefore the tendons have been changed. The most common presentation is that the shoulder joint, or the humerus or upper arm, turns in and forwards. We say it internally rotates and anteri- orizes. When this happens, not only is the rotator cuff or tendon painful but also the chest muscles, or pectorals, form very tight knots in them that keep the rotator cuff from functioning properly. This happens in each and every case where rotator cuff tendonitis results. Therefore, in treatment, simply treating the rotator cuff itself, where the tendon is hurt, is not sufficient to resolve the problem. As much as the tendon is now overstretched, the front of the shoulder joint, because of the chest muscles, or pectoralis pectoralis muscles, are not over- tightened. Treatment involves restoring the proper length tension of both sets of muscles, muscles, taking out the knots, what we call trigger points, in the chest muscles, as well as treating the inflammation in the rotator cuff tendon. If you have a rotator cuff injury, which is the most common shoulder injury, book an appointment to see your physiotherapist today. This is one of the conditions physiotherapy can help very well.
