COFFEE CORRECTION

SHERRY AND Pete Boeda of
West Vancouver's Bean Around
the World Coffees fame would
like to see their valued customers
at their West Vancouver location
or their new West 10th Avenue
outlet in Vancouver anytime.

However, Susiness Briefs incor-
rectly announced last week that
the company was hosting an event
on Oct. 24 from 7 p.m. to 10
p.m. at its new 4456 West 10th
Ave. location that was open to the,
public.

In fact, the event is private. But
Sherry Boeda says that does not
mean the public cannot come to
the new location any other time or
to the company’s West Vancouver
outlet.

panded line of emergency pro-
- ducts for the individual, home,
car, school and business at the
fifth annual Emergency
Preparedness Conference which is
being held until tomorrow at the

Sheraton Landmark hote! in Van-
couver.

The conference attracts
emergency planners and industry
together to learn more about what
works and what doesn’t work in
terms of emergency preparedness.

“The more you think about
something, the more likely you are
to react in the right way vhen it
does happen,’’ said Cap,.. Bob
Boudoures, one of the firefighters
who participated in search and
rescue operations in the hard-hit
marina area of San Francisco dur-
ing the 1990 earthquake.

At A Moment’s Natice knows?
from the constant inquiries receiv-
ed, that people and businesses are
thinking about what to do in the
event of an emergency, how to get
prepared and who can help them
get prepared.

At A Moment’s Notice has de-
veloped a line of packs which
cover essential basics needed to
get through the first 72 hours of
an emergency. The packs include
vital first aid supplies, shelter and
weather protection, pure water,
heat and light sources, sanitation
supplies and tools and equipment
as well as valuable literature to
read beforehand and to be used
for quick reference at all times.

Customers are also placed on a

Many parents physically
unprepared for children

THE FIRST few years of
Childhood can be tough,
_ especially for parents who
can be at physical risk.
“Every parent caring for a
child younger than four or five is
a potential victim, just from car-
trying the child,’’ says chiropractor

Dr. Heather McLeod.
“The lower back, sacroiliac
- joints, neck and shoulders are ali
problem aveas for a

parent because of the exertions
wecessary in looking .after
. baby, she adds. .

"This affects not only the
patents but often grandparents as
well,” she says.

“McLeod, who is also a mother,
says many parents are not physi-
- :eally prepared for the demands of
’ parenting.

“They don't expect it
such hard work.”’

hip puts the whole body off

mands on muscles and. weight:
bearing spinal joints.

@ Car seats — attending a child
in a rear seat means the parent
has to simultaneously bend and
twist, then lift. This, particularly
in two-door cars, can be highly
dangerous for the back.

McLeod says that new parents
should protect themselves by
carefully assessing the equipment
and furniture they have for their
children. They should also physi-
cally prepare themselves by doing
back-strengthening exercises.

The first six months with the
baby can be the worst for the
mother particularly, she said,
especially if she hag not rested
properly after the birth.

McLeod said ihat she has fre-
questly treated women for back
conditions after a long labor or
fer problems that may have been
neglected before the baby’s birth.

“it is for

very important

_women to have a spinal checkup

during pregnancy if they have not
done so before. Fathers also
should be aware of spinal exer-
cises to avoid,’’ she said. For in-
stance, carrying children on the
shoulders, which fathers often do,
can cause neck problems.
