Blake McCutcheon confirms candidacy for mayor

By Eoin Devereux

Neepawa Banner & Press

There has been a last minute and dramat ic change to the race for mayor of the Town of Neepawa. In the final days before the nomination deadline closed, former local business owner Blake McCutcheon confirmed that he would seek the community’s top job.

That decision had a domino effect, as, after a day of consideration, previously announced mayoral candidate Murray Parrott decided to instead seek reelection to council. In a discussion with the Banner & Press, Parrott noted that he thought it was best to give the voters of Neepawa a clear choice for the position of mayor and that seeking re-election as a councillor to assist the community would be the best option.

A tipping point McCutcheon has lived in Neepawa for over 40 years and is a former owner and operator of Chalet Carpet and Drapes. McCutcheon said that some recent events were the final motivation that spurred him to step forward.

“Honestly, if someone had asked me six months ago if I was going to run for mayor, I think I would have said no. But, what has occurred over the course of the summer [with the parcel of land between McGill Street and Adelaide Crescent] and that green space

A vital part of our communities

Nominations closed I

f the number of candidates for some positions is any indication, the demand for change is pretty high. There are way more candidates for council than there are seats in some communities. In some places there are acclamations but in Neepawa there are enough candidates that the voters could replace the entire council. A number of towns and councils will see an election for sure.

There is a definite shift going in rural Manitoba and it is both welcomed and long overdue.

Complacency is public enemy number one for progress and growth. It looks like complacency may be taking a back seat finally to a sense of purpose. We hear a lot of talk about and complaints about the need for change. In communities where there are elections, there are some younger people stepping forward.

I have been saying for years now that younger people need to step up into leadership roles for two good reasons. One is that older people sometimes retire or or just plain get tired.

Sometimes they up and quit or even die off leaving a void.

Without some younger people to take their place, communities lose stuff like organizations and institutions. Businesses, churches and organizations tend to wither if leadership doesn’t grow into place. The second reason young people need to get involved is that they will be paying for a council’s decisions, be they good or bad decisions, for a lot longer than the older generation. I am 70 and if you are 30, you are hopefully going to outlive me and be paying for your council’s neepawa

Ken Waddell decisions for a lot longer than I will likely be paying.

So now that nominations are closed, what are a person’s options. The most obvious is to pick a candidate and get behind them.

Go door knocking with them.

Help hand out leaflets. Donate some money as it costs money to run a campaign.

Aside from the election process, what else can be done?

There are a lot of options and all are essential to a successful community. Gladstone is looking for help with the fall supper.

So are most other communities.

I bet there are lots of openings for people to clear tables or wash pots and pans.

There isn’t a church in the country that wouldn’t like to have more people involved. It has to be pretty discouraging for a church to look at the past 30 years and realize that attendance at funerals is a lot bigger than Sunday services. How come only dead people or grieving people need God? There isn’t a hockey rink, curling rink, community hall or Legion that would turn down help is there?

We tend to focus on councillors, reeves and mayors as our

leaders but there are far more leadership positions than that and never enough to fill the roles.

It is a transition thing. Most councillors gained experience on a rink board or in a service club or chamber of commerce before they took the leap to politics. Don’t be complacent now that nominations have closed.

There’s an election to run, there are other community jobs that are begging to be completed.

What community can say they have enough of anything? We need more growth, more jobs, more housing, stronger churches, stronger service clubs. If you are of sound mind and body and are spending more than an hour a day in front of a TV or on Facebook, you are probably not contributing as much as you should be to life and community. Remember a lot more people rust out than burn out.

Owners/Publishers Ken and Chris Waddell

hrough their knowledge and their efforts, seniors give a tremendous amount to our towns, villages and rural municipalities. In this week’s paper, we are celebrating Seniors’ Week, which aims to MY recognize the PERSPECTIVE contr ibut ions made by seniors to our communit ies.

Kate You don’t have to look far to Jackman-Atkinson see the vital role they play.

The population of seniors in Canada is growing and the 2016 Census showed that our country had reached a milestone; for the first time ever recorded, there were fewer children than seniors.

The fastest growing segment of the population in Census 2016 was those over 100 years old. It wasn’t a surprise, just the end result of two long-term trends: longer life expectancies and declining birth rates. These trends aren’t expected to reverse and by 2031, Statistics Canada predicts that almost a quarter of Canada’s population will be over 65 years old.

In some communities, the numbers are even more dramatic.

For example, in Neepawa, there were 930 residents over 65 years of age, compared to 835 under 14 years of age. Seniors made up 20 per cent of the town’s population. While some municipalities, such as Oakview, Riverdale and Rosedale buck this trend, in almost all rural communities, seniors form the core of many volunteer groups.

In 2010, Statistics Canada looked at volunteering in Canada.

They found that 36 per cent of seniors volunteered. While this number might seem a little low when you look to those giving time in your communities, there are a few factors at play.

While younger Canadians are more likely to volunteer, probably due in part to school requirements, seniors put in the most hours.

The survey found that youths aged 15 to 24 gave an average of 130 hours a year. Seniors, on the other hand, averaged 223 hours a year.

While not age specific, Stats Can found that a small proportion of volunteers do most of the work. They found that in 2010, 53 per cent of the volunteer hours given to not-for-profits and charitable organizations were performed by 10 per cent of the volunteers.

These dedicated volunteers gave more than 390 hours to their volunteer work, the equivalent of at least 10 weeks in a full-time job. When you take into account health challenges which can reduce the number of seniors who can volunteer, the statistics show that a small number of seniors are responsible for the bulk of volunteer work being done.

Seniors are an extremely valuable part of our communities, both in terms of the work they do and their crucial ability to help lead and mentor the next generation. When I think of my involvement in local organizations, I was either recruited or inspired by a senior in the community. I can point my direct involvement to the role they played in opening my eyes to the organization.

Communities work best when we can leverage the diverse assets each group brings to the table. As individual seniors look at stepping back and taking a very well deserved break, I hope they will do one more task for the communities they clearly care so much about; share their passion with someone younger to help these valuable community assets carry on.

Seniors play a vital role in our communities, but beyond the countless hours behind the scenes and in the public eye, for me, Seniors’ Week is about recognizing those who cared enough about their communities to create something of value all of us can share in.

Life changing attitudes, Part Two Observation

I

am a fourth generation Canadian. My great g rand fat her left Germany many years ago, settling in the Pleasant Prairie district west of Wet a sk iw i n, A B. He bought some land and began to build a home for his family and a farm that would support them.

Some of his sons would do as he had done, as would at least one of his grandsons, namely my father. In 1947, he bought three quarter sections of land and began to build a farming operation that remains in our family to this day.

I came kicking and screaming into this world four years later. By the time I arrived, our yard had a three-room house, a barn (half milking cows; half farrowing pigs) a machine shed/car garage, several granaries and one chop bin, used to store feed for the animals. As time passed, we added buildings, corrals and pastures for cattle and hogs.

Most of the work was done on a “labor for labor” agreement. Friends and relatives would help us

T

FAITHFULLY YOURS Neil Strohschein

with building projects and we helped them in return We worked together on m ajor pr oje c t s — churches (four of them in our town), countr y schools, community halls and recreational facilities were all built by volunteer labor. And if a neighbor was in trouble, we dropped everything and went to help out. We worked together, we shared meals together, we played sports together, we prayed together and we wept together. We were a caring people. We lived in a caring community.

Much has changed in rural Canada since the days of my youth. Once thriving villages and towns no longer offer the services they did a generation ago.

Farms are getting larger.

Farm families are getting smaller. It’s not unusual for a farm family to drive 30 km or more (one way) to

access health services, buy parts for farm equipment or even get the mail. And, for the most part, we think nothing of it. That’s life.

We’re used to it.

But the caring spirit to which I was introduced in my youth is very much alive.

Rural Crime Watch groups are active. Volunteer boards are keeping community halls and local recreational facilities in good repair.

Church congregations may be small, but the spirit of love, acceptance and forgiveness is just as real in them as it has ever been.

So is our determination to live by these words of St. Paul: “In humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but to the interests of others.” (Philippians 2:3-4) Valuing others above ourselves and putt ing their needs ahead of our own is what makes us

caring people. Where you have an abundance of caring people, you have a caring community. Caring communities produce youth who will help create caring communities of their own in school, in support groups, in the places where they work and ultimately, in the communities in which they live.

But this attitude cannot be taught. It’s something that we learn by living in a caring community, seeing how people care for others, following their examples and sharing in the satisfaction that comes from knowing that by our acts of loving service, we have helped to increase the level of caring in our neighbourhoods.

Rural communities like ours were built by caring people. They are being ma inta ined by car ing people. They will only survive if our children catch the caring spirit and learn how to love and care for others. Many already have. Church, home and school must work together to ensure that all our children develop this important life changing attitude.

Leader of the pack…

here has once again been a change in my family structure.

I am privileged to have grandchildren share my home, this time bringing a cat and two dogs. The menagerie has lived together before, several years ago.

Meeka, a lab/retriever cross, joined us when she was a pup, and Jazzie came as a tiny kitten. Kaara, a lab/shepherd cross, became a family member when the grandkids maintained their own home. The creatures are all comfortable and familiar with each other.

My Henry Hoover and Miss Daisy have had many a sleepover with the big dogs, the big golden dogs have often come to visit grandma.

When Meeka was an adolescent she would, at times, swing poor Hoover around the room by his tail.

He did not like that. She doesn’t do that anymore. She also would sit on my lap for

HOMEBODIES Rita Friesen cuddles, would still like to do that, but doesn’t. Kaara is timid and a follower, good natured and patient.

It brings me a great deal of joy to see them all play together. There are times when Meeka will play tugof-war with Hoover, my Miss Daisy staying well out of the ruckus, and Kaara not making any commitments to participate. We all have the feeding and the letting out and in down pat. The big dogs eat in the garage, for Miss Daisy has no respect for anyone’s name on a dish.

They wait their turn to be let out into the yard, the big dogs letting me snap on the

line before bolting into the comfort zone.

I have taken all four for a walk, at the same time.

My grandchildren have expressed concern for my safety, so I do it when they are at work. When we walk as a pack, Meeka leads; Kaara drifts from left to right and back again, and my two tag along. Gone is their need to direct my steps and set my pace. They leave it to Meeka. It is great exercise.

We walk on a path that few people or animals frequent.

When Meeka has dragged my weight, not me- I remain in charge- but definitely my weight, for 20 minutes, she

slows right down. On a good day I can let the two little white dogs sit at the side of the trail and watch the big girls play fetch, off leash, for they come when called.

When they are fully tired, I snap on the leads, and we all walk sedately home.

Jazzie, well, she’s a cat.

She comes and goes at her leisure. At least twice she has chosen to sit with me.

None of the dogs will harass her. They have all tried it.

Once. Jazzie adapted well to relocating, claiming the solitude of the garage as her domain.

Did I see this coming?

No. Does it bother me?

Not at all. I am looking forward to the Thanksgiving weekend. One set of children came with their medium size dog, a rescue, another set comes with a little, I AM THE BOSS, Pomeranian.

T

his morning when I was reading my devotional I realized it was very much applicable to me. It talked about seasons in our life. We remember when we took our child the first day to school. Before we knew it we helped them pack their suitcase and they went off to college. We moved on in life and then realized that we needed some help ourselves and the reverse role was played. Now Mom might need the children to take care of her and a new season has begun.

Tomorrow night my children will come and empty my home and take me and my belongings to Alberta. There more children are waiting to unload and help Mom to adjust in her new home and the start of this new season in her life. What a blessing my children are to me.

I will miss my friends here very much but as it says in Ecclesiastes 3: 11 “He has made everything beautiful in His time.” He brought me to Swan River for a reason.

So also He will direct my path in Alberta.

My next message comes from Alberta. Blessings to all.

Pleased with the results

Ducks Unlimited Canada is pleased with the findings of a recent Insurance Bureau of Canada (IBC) report that identifies a greater need for wetlands and other natural infrastructure as a cost-effective way to limit the expensive damage done by floods and extreme weather.

We hope the report -- combined with recent funding announcements for green infrastructure and initiatives that reduce the potential impacts of natural disaster, and the recently-passed Sustainable Watersheds Act – will encourage governments, municipalities and conservation groups to pursue new projects together.

In its report, Combatting Canada’s Rising Flood Costs: Natural infrastructure is an underutilized option, released on Sept. 18, IBC provides a way to assess the total economic value, benefits and potential for natural infrastructure such as wetlands. It concludes that governments and water managers need to consider these natural alternatives, alongside concrete and steel solutions, for managing water on the landscape.

Thumbs up, thumbs down

A big thumbs down to the individual(s) who helped themselves to the donation box at the Bird Sanctuary.

Not only has the donation box gone missing but earlier in the summer, someone helped themselves to about 25 baby chicks, some hens and roosters. Shame on you! Volunteers work hard to make the Bird Sanctuary a place for everyone to enjoy. If anyone has any information about these crimes to our community, please contact the local RCMP. Brenda Ferguson Neepawa, MB Would you like to send a thumbs up or thumbs down to an individual or group in the community?

Please send it our way. Submissions must include a name and must be under 100 words.

We want to hear from you!

Minnedosa pleased to see clinic officially open Continued from page one M i nnedosa Mayor Ray Orr noted that even though the actual physical construction on the facility started just a year ago, the process to get to this day has been a long time coming, as it’s been in the works for over five years.

At a cost of $2.2 million, the project was built using a combination of personal and corporate donations, as well as municipal support from the Town of Minnedosa, R.M.’s of Minto-Odanah, Oakview and Harrison Park.

Prairie Mountain Health also offered guidance to the committee throughout the entire process. Orr said watching this collective group work together so well on this mutual goal, was great to see.

“This is an area project.

While the building may be [located in Minnedosa], its benefits and services will benefit our entire region. As a municipal official, I’d like to acknowledge the support received from the [rural] municipalities early on in the process that allowed us to get this going,” stressed Orr. “It’s absolutely fabulous. It’s something I think that’s been needed and I’m exceptionally pleased to see this come to pass.”

A legacy Primary Care Clinic Committee secretary John Mendrikis said that with the major construction now 18094MF0

finished, the Minnedosa Medical Group will now operate out of the building.

Mendrikis added that the ongoing legacy of this building is something everyone across the region should be proud of because it was done with almost all donated dollars.

“It is great to finally reach this day. It’s something we’ve all looked forward to. In terms of donor numbers, we’re looking at over 600 individual donors and those amounts were anywhere from $10 to $25,000 per person. So, that’s the range, as far as what’s been donated and we’re grateful for every dollar,” Mendrikis stated.

“Then there are the service clubs, from Minnedosa and the surrounding area, who have just been tremendous.

Then there’s the corporations and other municipalities who contributed. All of that culminated with this building.”

The future The 5,036 square foot facility has the means to house eight doctors. To begin, it will have six physicians and a medical practitioner. A very important feature of the primary care centre will be its modern, up-to-date modern technology, which should entice new doctors to Minnedosa.

Ray Orr added that a facility like this will also provide local patients with state-of-the-art healthcare close to home.

Flyers take pair of games from Natives Neepawa goes 0-1-1 on opening weekend

By Eoin Devereux Neepawa Banner & Press

on Michael Boutoussov with just 29 seconds left in regulation.

While Mother Nature literally rained on the Neepawa Natives parade on Saturday, Sept. 22, Winkler goaltender Riley Morgan did the same in a figurative sense just a few hours later, leading the Flyers to a 4-3 shootout win. The 18-year-old made 48 saves, including a gamesaving stop with just 23 seconds left in regulation. He also stopped all three Neepawa players he faced in the shootout. The victory was the second straight in as many nights for Flyers, as they topped the Natives by the same 4-3 score on Friday, Sept. 21, in their home opener at the Winkler Rec. Complex.

OT and shootout The five minute overtime session could not solve anything, so it would move into a shootout. Neepawa’s three shooters were blanked by Morgan, while Winkler’s Josh Kagan claimed the game-winner with a spectacular forehand fake. Neepawa would outshoot Winkler 51-39 in the game.

At the conclusion of the game, Neepawa Natives head coach/general manager Dustin Howden said that his team put in a tremendous effort but just ran into a goaltender who was in the zone.

“This team showed a lot of character [on the ice]. To climb back into the game as they did in the third and erase that two-goal deficit, that’s huge.

Winkler did tie it up, but we had plenty of chances to get the win. [Riley Morgan] just came up big on a few chances. There were a few shots, that are definitely goals on any other night, but he just came up big. A pair of wins this weekend, obviously would be better, but there is still a lot to be happy about from this effort.” noted Howden.

Goaltender Riley Morgan of Winkler makes a stop on Kurtis Luke during the shootout Weather hampers celebration on Saturday, Sept. 22.

A parade and tailgate party that had been planned to help commemorate the start of the Natives 30th year in the MJHL was canceled due to the rainy and snowy conditions. That left the game itself as the primary form of entertainment for the 328 fans who braved the earlier than expected wintery weather conditions to attend the home opener. Those in attendance were treated to an action-packed 60 plus minutes of hockey.

Flyers strike first After a scoreless first period, where Neepawa outshot Winkler 15-10, the Flyers would be the first to light the lamp behind the net, when Connor Beebe scored just over five minutes into the second period. A short time later, Trent Halfdanson extended the lead with a goal on the power-play. That provided Winkler with a 2-0 18094SS1 18094SS2

cushion heading into the third period. Neepawa had the shot advantage 30-19 after the first 40 minutes of play.

Natives bounce back Neepawa pushed the pace early in the third period, searching for their first goal of the game. They’d find it quickly, as Kurtis Luke scored just 1:48 into the period. Just 1:10 later, Zach Pires added another, tying the game at 2-2. Then before the celebrations died down from the previous goal, the hometown fans had another reason to cheer as Mackenzie Belinski collected one more, giving Neepawa its first lead of the night.

Winkler’s Brody Moffatt would then tie the game at the 9:50 mark, making it 3-3. For the rest of regulation, Neepawa controlled the tempo and peppered Riley Morgan with an array of shots. Morgan kept the Natives at bay, however, including making a huge stop

What’s next?

All Neepawa can do now is put the Winkler results behind them and focus on a pair of upcoming road games. First, they travel to Waywayseecappo to face the Wolverines (2-0-0) on Thursday, Sept. 27. Then, they will head Swan River on Saturday, Sept. 29 to play the Stampeders (2-1-0).

Moosomin runs over NACI Tigers

By Eoin Devereux Neepawa Banner & Press

A strong effort on the ground helped to power the Moosomin Generals to a 54-26 win over the Neepawa Area Collegiate Institute (NACI) Tigers. A trio of Moosomin running backs worked together to keep Neepawa’s defense on its heels, while also controlling the clock.

As for Neepawa’s defensive stats over the course of the game, they were lead by Lucas Keller and Colter Birnie, who had 14 and 12 tackles respectively. Other notable contributors included Riley Neufeld (nine tackles, one interception), Cole Guilbert (five tackles, one fumble recovery) and Ben Miller (four tackles, one sack) On the other sides of the ball, the Generals were able to keep NACI at bay through the air. Tigers quarterback Tanner Mann went 3/8 passing for just 44 yards and two interceptions. Mann, however, did come up clutch with his legs, rushing for 105 yards and generating three rushing touchdowns. Running back Jayvee Posadas added 159 yards rushing, including a 61-yard touchdown run.

Special teams for NACI ended up having a less than perfect game, giving up a pair of fumbles off short kicks.

The loss shifted NACI’s regular season record to 1-1-0. The next game for the Tigers will be on Friday, Sept. 28 when they face the Interlake Thunder (3-0-0) in Stonewall.

Obituary Reginald (Reg) Gordon Meneer September 6, 1935 – September 15, 2018 It is with heavy hearts we announce that Reg passed away peacefully on September 15, 2018, with his family by his side.

His family is comforted knowing that he has now joined his wife Norma on their next adventure. Reg is predeceased by his parents Connie and Gordon Meneer and his sister Marie (Bob). Reg will be remembered by his daughters Jean Katchmar and her children, Tim (Carrie) and their children Gracie, Thea and Quincy; and Jeff (Kaysi); Mary Anne (Garry) Miller and their children Marnie (Israel) and their daughter Matea, Diane (Nick), and Amber; Susan (Ian) Morris and their children Rachel (Lucas), Ryan and Alex; as well as his brother Ray (Bev). Reg will also be missed by his cousin Garry (Jeanette) Henderson who were very special friends in his life.

Reg was born in Carberry, Manitoba on September 6, 1935. Given the nickname Buzz at a young age, he had the great fortune to do many things in his life. He was never at a loss for words and could tell a story like the best of them. He met the love of his life Norma Lamb in elementary school and married her in 1956. Together they welcomed their three daughters. His work life took him in many directions until he became the Sheriff for 25 years in Thompson, MB. They spent many summers at their Setting Lake cottage until they retired to Courtenay, BC, where they made many great friendships. When Norma passed in 2011 he moved back home to Manitoba.

Reg and Norma lived a full and happy life and cherished their grandchildren very much. They were very involved in all of their grandchildren’s lives and would often travel across the western provinces and the United States to attend graduations, recitals, and sporting events.

Norma and Reg loved to travel together and had many memorable holidays. They went on lots of cruises, and he had many stories to tell about their trip to China.

Nothing made him happier than having his entire family gather at the “Farm” every third weekend in September, and fittingly, they were there with him at the Farm when he passed.

The family would like to thank the wonderful staff at Third Crossing Manor for everything they have done for Dad. In honour of Reg’s memory please have a toast with a glass of wine at your next family gathering.

Letter to the editor

Continued from page 5 This new assessment tool will allow governments, municipalities and conservation groups to make a business case for preserving and restoring wetlands.

Further, in new funding under the Canada Infrastructure Program, DUC sees an opportunity to partner with Manitoba municipalities and watershed districts.

We already have successful programs in place. As a conservation leader with more than 80 years of experience, DUC is in a strong position to provide natural solutions that address flooding and extreme weather.

In fact, we’ve worked with landowners to protect and restore wetlands for decades, and we’re constantly seeking new partners to continue that work.

Not only do wetlands slow the flow of water and help prevent flooding, they filter nutrients and provide clean water, supply wildlife habitat, and store climate-changing carbon.

Wetlands continue to be lost, but we hope the report, recent funding announcements, and the new act will foster the culture of conservation that continues to grow in Manitoba.

advice for a healthier lifestyle

Concussion - What do I do now?

By Dr. Mark Perrett BSCs DC Chiropractor

assume you might have a concussion.

A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury that causes temporary changes in brain function and is most often caused by a blow to the head. It can also be caused by an excessive movement of the head that causes the brain to move rapidly within the skull.

Initial signs of concussion can include loss of consciousness, headache, vomiting, dizziness, changes in sleep, changes in mood, a feeling of brain “fogginess, g e n e r a l f at i g u e, a n d sensitivity to light and sound.

Initially The most important thing to do after you have sustained a concussion is to rest. This can be one of the hardest things to do and the most frustrating. The brain has been injured and needs time to heal, so sleep a lot. This is when your brain recovers.

Don’t think too much as your brain uses a lot of energy when concentrating. This includes avoiding electronics, reading, problem solving, and learning activities. When you feel a mild headache or “brain fog”, it’s time to stop what you are doing, lay down and do nothing.

Research from the University of California has shown that you can also help your brain repair after concussion or even surgery by modifying your diet. Increasing Omega-3 Fatty Acids, Vitamin E, C u rc u m i n , m o d e r at e Caffeine use, and decreasing large Saturated Fat intake all help with brain repair.

What to do after a concussion It can take as little as 24 hours or over a year to recover from a concussion.

Most people fully recover in 3 weeks. If you feel you have had a concussion, you must stop your sport or activity and seek medical help. Often people are unsure if they have sustained a concussion and ironically make this decision on the field or at the rink with impaired judgement because their brain has been injured. If you have had a head injury,

chronic headache or brain fog, it is time to get back to work or your sport. This must be a graduated process.

A consensus statement on Concussion in Sport – 4th International Conference on Concussion in Sport held in Zurich, November 2012 suggests the following back to play rules. ​1. No activity Symptom-limited physical and cognitive rest until symptom free is the objective here. This stage allows the acute symptoms to subside and your brain to heal. You must have no “foggy head” episodes or other symptoms.

2. Light aerobic exercise Walking, swimming or stationary cycling with no resistance training are examples. Symptoms must not occur within a short duration of these activities of up to 15 minutes. Gradually increasing light aerobic exercise with no symptoms is the objective.

3. Sport-specific exercise Examples include, skating drills in ice hockey and

4. Non-contact training drills At this stage you can progress to more complex training drills (eg, passing drills in football and ice hockey). Then adding weight training type exercises and having no symptoms allows you to go to step 5.

5. Full-contact practice Fo l l o w i n g m e d i c a l clearance, participate in normal training activities.

This step helps to restore athlete confidence and assess functional skills by the coaching staff.

6. Return to normal game play Children and adolescents should remain at step one until symptom-free for several days (optimally seven to 10 days). One often will regress to a previous stage for short periods as their

“It's medically proven that people who do regular physical activity have:

• up to an 83% lower risk of osteoarthritis • up to a 68% lower risk of hip fracture • a 30% lower risk of falls (among older adults) • up to a 30% lower risk of depression • up to a 30% lower risk of dementia

brain heals.

Concussion return to play protocol is a very serious set of rules to follow. Once you have a concussion you are more susceptible to another one and you are much more susceptible if you have not fully recovered from the one you have.

Prolonged brain injury from concussion due to not fully recovering can have lasting effects on brain tissue leading to symptoms such as chronic headaches, depression, sleep disturbance, and decreased cognitive abilities.

Take concussions seriously

and follow these rules for a safe recovery.

Activity fact: 90% of concussion symptoms tend to go away over the course of a week but it often takes a minimum of three weeks for brain tissue to fully repair Visit neepwachiropractic. com/blog for more articles to help you be healthier.
