PEELCardiacArrest

PatientsGet CoolTreatment

CPCC Launches Penny Drive

Peel Paramedics are the first in Ontarioto enrol cardiac arrest patients in a newtrial examining whether cooling the

bodys temperature as part of paramedictreatment will save more lives. Theprocedure is generally reserved foremergency room and Intensive CareUnit treatment.

We know that when a cardiac arrestpatients temperature is lowered, thechances of severe brain damage anddeath are reduced, says Dr. Cheskes,co-principal investigator of the trial and

Medical Director, Sunnybrook Centre forPrehospital Medicine. Cooling a patientat the scene of the arrest may lead toeven higher cardiac arrest survival ratesin Peel and improve the possibility ofsurvival without brain damage.

Cooling, also known as therapeutichypothermia, involves administering achilled saline solution intravenously tothe patient as well as applying ice packson the neck, armpit and groin areas. Thiscan lower body temperature by 3 to 5degrees Celsius, which decreases thework the heart has to do while injuredand slows down the brains need foroxygen.

In 2011, Peel paramedics responded to1,175 cardiac arrests. To date, paramedics

have enrolled eight patients; the trialbegan in Peel in early July.

The level of healthcare expertise ourparamedics provide residents continuesto grow with our participation in thistrial, says Peter Dundas, Chief, PeelRegional Paramedic Services.

The trial is being led by SunnybrookHealth Sciences Centre in partnershipwith St. Michaels Hospital and funded

by the Canadian Institutes of HealthResearch. The trial is expected to lastfor two years and involve over 1,000patients. Other emergency medicalservices are expected to join the studyover the next few months.

Peel Paramedics respond to morethan 85,000 emergency medical calls

every year. For more information aboutPeel Regional Paramedic Services, visitpeelregion.ca/paramedics.

The Regional Municipality of Peel wasincorporated in 1974 on the principle thatcertain community and infrastructureservices are most cost-effectivelyadministered over a larger geographicarea.

Summer PleasuresLetters to the Editor

Time once again for those Augustscorchers! The mercury is riding highin the thermometer and most of us areracking our brains looking for ways to

beat that heat. But as hot as it is, weneed to remember that there are alwaysso many summer pleasures to enjoy inAugust.

In addition to the local events thatmake summer in Caledon fun - likeCheltenham Day (Tues., August 7th),Bolton BIAs Midnight Madness (Fri.,August 10th), the Farm and Food Kids

Cooking Camp (Mon. August 13th) andthe Plowing Match (Thurs. Aug. 30th),there are countless great activities at theCaledon Public Library and the usualround of summer camp activities, eventsfor seniors and church activities. Andlets not forget two great local farmersmarkets where you can drop in, pickup some great locally grown food and

browse the booths for everything fromarts, crafts and exceptional baked goodsto lamb, honey and corn fresh fromlocal farms! Check out our event listinginside this issue for more great eventshappening in August!

I wanted to take a moment to remindour readers once again that theres beena lot of news recently about careless

fires and water related deaths. We cannever remind ourselves often enoughthat summer tragedies can often beavoided by taking the simplest of

safety measures.* If you plan to have a bonfire or

burn items this summer, make sureyou have a burn permit and call beforeyou light that fire!

* If you are near water, follow safetyprocedures: never swim alone, keepchildren and pets supervised andmaintain constant vigilance.

In our pages this month, DebRobertson needs support, StanCameron talks a bit about summer

being family time and Justin Popovictells us that Being Realistic HoldsYou Back. Rounding things out, Pauland Carol Mott share Two Views ofthe Olympic Games, David Mielkediscusses ways to beat the boredomwith a few Summer Bored Games andDr. Katie McKeown discusses SunSafety.

I hope you enjoy reading this issueof The Regional! Enjoy the remainderof the summer safely!

Paul says....

When it comes to parading our patriot-ism, and a lust for glory, we Canadians,now, take a back seat to no-one... chant-ing Go, Canada, Go, and wavin thered given any opportunity. These sum-mer games are prime example.

From sea to shining sea, Canucks

have parked their pusses in front of thetube, their peepers xed on that guy orgal sporting the leaf.

The event is irrelevant. Be it puingthe shot, the hop, skip and jump, or trip,stumble and face-plant, its us, versus theworld... and gold is the goal!

For two weeks plus, we heap ador-ation on lile known athletes, most,soon to be forgoen, cheer-ing them on in contests wegenerally ignore. (Checkany list of the most popu-lar sports in this country(hockey, always numberone) and track and eldnever cracks the top ten.)

There was a time in theGreat White North, whenwe told ourselves that the

spirit of the Games wasmore important than theprized hardware, that,like the ancient Greeks,we put more value in thechallenge, brotherhoodand sportsmanship. Thedaily medal count didntdominate newscasts leav-ing us feeling like underachievers... nishing 22nd or so, drew polite ap-plause for eort, not a condemnation of athletes or programs

But, those days are gone! We too want to thump our chests, and screamto the world, Were number one!

If theres gold up for grabs, we want it! Be it the high-hurdles, egg-in-the-spoon or three-legged race... all nations will rise for the playing ofOCanada!

Aer years and years, of being almost, almost-rans, the COC (Can-adian Olympic Commiee) nally dropped the pretense that winning isnot the only thing, and activated programs to beer our performance.

It put our athletes on the Road to Excellence, the goal being... Ownthe Podium!

Its a loy target, but, hey, who knows... maybe someday. In the worldof sport, on any given day...anything is possible.

Good luck, Canucks!

I look forward every two years to the Olympics!I know they are expensive, I know the sys-

tem for awarding the Olympics is suspect,but I dont care. Its a time to see the best,

to marvel at the magnicence of theseathletes and to admire the courage thestamina and the persistence of people

with passion. We should all have justa fraction of the spirit they embody.For 2 weeks I immerse myself in

stories of the thrill of victory and theagony of defeat! So what if Im not

one to watch every track meet going orsomeone who cares about soccer other

than when my own child is playing.During the Olympics my appre-

ciation for every sport growsand Ill discuss it with

anyone who will lis-ten. I am an unabashedOlympics booster andthink that the gamespull us together as acountry even if it is justto argue over who wethink should have won!

I love the proles

of the athletes and thespotlight on the hostcountry. RememberVancouver? The worlddoes. Breathtaking inits beauty the residualgoodwill will last foryears and be a draw fortourists.

Winning is important and any athlete worth their salt knows that. If youre not going forgold, dont go. That said, if you dont get it you are a still a member of an elite group and thatis an incredible accomplishment.

As always there will be criticism of the host country, some of it deserved, some of it thegriping of a media looking for controversy to sell papers.

As jaded as we may have become seeing so many athletes taking steroids and cheating togain fame and fortune, when the Olympics roll around Im there, ready, willing and able tocheer on our best and admire the rest.

Chief Coroner Urging FamiliesTo Be Safe Around Water

Recent Deaths Prompt ReminderThat Drowning Is Preventable

Ontarios Chief Coroner, Dr.Andrew McCallum, is remindingall Ontarians to be safe aroundwater this summer. Drowningdeaths can be prevented when

individuals act responsiblyaround water.This reminder is prompted

by more than a dozen drowningdeaths so far this month. Whiledrowning deaths of childrenunder the age of five have droppedsignificantly in recent years - from13 in 2010 to just three in 2011 -alcohol remains a prevalent riskfactor in many drowning deaths.

In June 2011, the Office of theChief Coroner released a reporton accidental drowning deathsfollowing a review of deaths

that occurred between May andSeptember 2010. Led by Dr. BertLauwers, Deputy Chief Coroner- Inquests, the review revealedsome startling statistics aboutalcohol and drowning deaths aswell as the use of life jackets.

The report pointed to four keyrecommendations for individuals:

1. Learn to swim - swimmingis a basic life skill that everyoneshould be taught regardless of age.

2. Wear a lifejacket or a personalflotation device - even if you are astrong swimmer, as fatigue can setin very quickly.

3. Adults should closelysupervise children at all timesaround water. Children candrown quickly and quietly.

4. Alcohol should be avoidedwhen swimming or boating.

Why Being Realistic

Holds You Back

By Justin Popovic

Success Coachwww.igniteyouressence.com

If you want to be certain that youwill never face a challenge or findyourself in a difficult bind, then itis very important to have tame andrealistic goals. Goals that you knowyou can achieve with minimal effortand hardship.

However, if you want to have anydegree of excitement and experiencereal growth in your life, then youregoing to have to make plans and setgoals that other people will verylikely label as unrealistic.

These kinds of goals often comewith a high degree of risk. You rarelyknow how you are going to achievethem until you get started. And moreoften than not, the result you achievewill not be exactly what you set outto do in the first place.

Many of the famous entertainers,doctors and scientists that weadmire in our society today becamewell known because they achievedunrealistic goals. They had thecourage to set the goals and theperseverance to bring them intoreality.

Unrealistic goal setters tend to behappier, more positive people. Theyhave high levels of energy becausethey thrive on challenge and love thethrill of achievement.

Setting and pursuing unrealisticgoals is not always a walk in the park.You are going to face resistance.

Many people abandon some oftheir biggest goals and dreams afterwell meaning friends and familytalk them out of it. There is a verygood chance that the same thingwill happen to you once you startchanging your life and setting big,unrealistic goals. When this happens,it is very important to look at thesource of advice.

If you are being talked out of anexciting idea by someone who livesa boring, risk-free life, realize that ifyou choose to accept their advice andabandon your dream, you are alsovery likely going to create a boringrisk-free life.

If you want to keep your biggestgoals and dreams alive and buildmomentum to start putting them intoaction, seek advice from other like-minded goal setters and get feedbackthat encourages you to go for it.Spend more time hanging aroundpeople who are less concernedwith risk and failure and are moreinterested in living an exciting life.

Once you become an unrealisticgoal setter, you will never look back.

The lazy, hazy, crazy days ofsummer have hit. Have you foundyourself with some vacation timeand nothing pressing to do for achange? If you are a bit boredand close to a computer, hereare a few (possibly fun) things todo until you think of something

better.Does your computer reflect the

present you? If not, its time tochange things up a bit and give

your computer a makeover. Tochange the desktop backgroundtheme you can select ControlPanel from your start menu andthen select Personalization (inWindows 7). Next select a newpre-loaded theme; find a themeon-line or create a new look usingyour own photos. You can alsochange sound, mouse and othervisual features from this menu.(If you are using Windows XPselect Control Panel from yourstart menu, followed by Displayand then select the Desktoptab.) For a quick change on yourcomputer desktop backgroundanytime you find a picture thatyou really like; select the photo,right-click it with your mouse and

select Set as Background.Now that you have your new

look established, how aboutseeing some new places? Travelthe world (virtually) using GoogleEarth (earth.google.com) and lookinto all of the destinations thatare on you bucket list. Viewsatellite imagery, maps, terrain,3D buildings, and even far, faraway space galaxies or oceandepths. This program alone cankeep you busy for hours on end.

If you dont feel likedownloading the Google Earthprogram, go to Google.ca selectMaps from the top menu, typein a destination city and zoom inon your favourite (or random)spot. Seriously, you have to see

this to believe it; the clarity of thesatellite photos is amazing. (Illhave to talk to Mr. Google about

a re-shoot of my home as I have spruced upthe place a bit since the last photo was taken.)In certain locations (Paris, France or ParisOntario for that matter) you can drop rightdown to street level and tour around the city,or possibly view the city highlights throughother peoples travel photos (uploaded to

Google maps - see Prague, Czech Republicfor example).Now that we have broadened ourselves

with some sight-seeing, lets look into thecollection of videos (entertaining, educationaland otherwise) over at youtube.com. Hereyou can find an astounding amount of video,running the entire gamut of subject matter. Ifyou have a favourite band or entertainer (fromany era) hobby, educational interest, or are justplain looking for a distraction, it is all here.With so much varied content, the problem

becomes where to start or stop looking. Wantto show your kids what your old phonelooked like, or what shows/commercials youused to watch after-school? See some wildstunts (flying, racing or backyard variety),learn about history, how to repair a faucet,play the piano or knit & pearl; YouTube haslots posted on every subject.

Still have some time to waste? Why not playa game! There are plenty of games to choosefrom or try out at no cost on the web. (Seehttp://www.acid-play.com/ or http://www.addictinggames.com/ for example.) Puzzle;Card; Sport; Action; Arcade; Racing; RolePlaying and more. Acid Play also has a ratingsystem on the games offered to give yousome insight into what others have thoughtof the experience. Whether you are lookingto sharpen your mind/skills or just lead a pathof destruction, there are games a plenty hereto keep you embroiled for a long time. (Asone reviewer put it Do not play this gameif you have work to do or a family orresponsibility, it is very addictive.)

Gosh its 3 A.M. I better shut this computerdown and get some sleep I told you thisstuff was a great way to kill some time.

( N C ) A f a m i l yrelationship breakdowncan have a devastating toll

on everyone. This is madeeven worse when peopletry to resolve legal issueson their own, often notknowing where to turn.

In recent weeks, the LawSociety of Upper Canadahas created Your Law:

Family Law in Ontario,a website to help peopleunderstand family lawissues and where to findassistance.

We needed to takeaction to help improvethe family law justice

system, says Laurie H.Pawlitza, one of Canadasleading family law lawyersand former Law Societytreasurer. Our justice

Family breakdown legal issues addressed on new websitesystem should not be a mazethat only legal professionalscan navigate. People involved

in relationship breakdowns areincreasingly looking for answersonline. The Your Law website,which can be accessed at www.yourontariolaw.com, makes surethey can easily find accurateand helpful information in plainlanguage.

The website pulls together allof the information that alreadyexists online through leading

(CALEDON, ON) Road Watchwas introduced as a result of actionand concern from local residents in1993 originating from tragedies on

Caledon roads. From these concerns,a S.A.F.E. (Stop AutomotiveFatalities Everywhere) committeewas formed and the Road Watchprogram of awareness, educationand enforcement of road safetywas developed in 1995. Its missionis to improve road safety andreduce aggressive/unsafe driving

by educ ating and encourag ingmembers of the community to takeresponsibility for their attitudes and

behaviours behind the wheel.The Road Watch sanctions

community members to completea Citizen Report Form when theyobserve a fellow motorist exercisingunsafe driving behaviour(s). Theseforms are available at the Caledon

East OPP detachment, the BoltonOPP sattelite office and the Townof Caledon office or can now befilled on-line at www.roadwatch.ca. Once the data is collected, it isreviewed and the offending vehiclesregistered owner is sent a letterdetailing the alleged infraction(s)and also implores safer driving.The reporting citizens name orinformation is not released to theregistered owner. A second letter forthe same vehicle results in a phonecall from a police officer. When athird complaint is registered againsta vehicle, an aggressive driver canexpect a personal visit by police.Laying charges is an option and anofficer may monitor the vehiclesfuture actions.

The Road Watch conceptempowers citizens to get involvedin their community by reporting

a g g r e s s i v ed r i v i n g

b e h a v i o u r .The concept

is based on asystem wherethe police andthe communitymembers worke f f e c t i v e l ytogether inreducing andp r e v e n t i n gdeaths or injuries on Caledonroadways, says Inspector RoseDiMarco.

Currently 40 communitiesthroughout Ontario have adoptedthe Road Watch concept through alicensing agreement. The programis monitored by volunteers whodonate countless hours because theyknow Road Watch is an effective

tool in reducing erratic drivingbehaviours. .

The program targets dangerousand aggressive driving throughawareness, education andenforcement. The strength ofour program lies with citizensinvolvement, as driver habits andattitudes cannot be altered by trafficenforcement officers alone, says

Jackie Flynn, Chair of Road WatchCaledon.

If you observe dangerous oraggressive driving, please ensurethat you copy the correct licenceplate information to ensure thatthese drivers are warned that notonly the police are monitoring butthat responsible citizens want toensure that Caledon roadways aresafe and secure.

Everybody lovesice cream but did youknow you could make ityourself at home? Ivefound a great recipe thatshows you how to enjoyice cream without a fancymachine or a drive to thelocal grocery store.

Theres science behindthe making of ice cream,so this is more than just anice summer dessert - its ateaching opportunity too!(Ill bet all the moms justsmiled!) You see, whilemaking this tasty treatyou can point out that thesalt lowers the freezingpoint of ice and helpscreates super cold brinewhich pulls heat from themilk/cream mixture. Thiscauses the ingredientsinside the inner bags tofreeze.

Another great thingabout this dessert youprepare the ingredients

below, give everyone abag to shake and hey,presto, ice cream! And ifyou let everyone eat theirice cream out of the bag itwas made in no dishes!(See there, the moms

just smiled again, didntthey?)

A few things toremember before youstart:

Ice cream makingcauses temperatures well

below normal freezing, soit makes sense to protecthands and fingers withthick gloves or a towelwhile shaking the mixture.

Create your own icecream flavours before orafter you finish shaking byadding flavoring, syrups,fruit, candies, cookiepieces and more. Youmight want to freeze theingredients you add aftershaking, so they dontmelt your ice cream.

The recipe here isvanilla flavoured - agood base for your otheringredients when you areready.

Ingredients:2 c whipping cream

2 c half-and-half cream

1/2 c white sugar

2 tsp. vanilla extract

1 bag crushed ice

4 c coarse salt

Other items youll need:

8 small resalable plastic freezer bags (zipper lock closing)

4 large resealable plastic freezer bags (zipper lock closing)

Gloves or towel to protect fingers from the cold

Directions:

1. In a large container, mix whipping cream, half-and-half, sugar,

and vanilla extract until sugar has dissolved.

2. Pour about 1/2 cup of mixture into each small plastic bag and seal carefully,

squeezing out extra air. Place each sealed bag into a second small bag, again

squeezing out extra air. Seal carefully.

3. Fill each large plastic bag about halfway with ice and add 1/2 cup coarse

salt. Place one sealed double-bagged package into the large bag, squeeze

out most of the air, and seal the large bag.

4. Wear something to protect your hands, shake and massage the bag for

about 5 minutes or until mixture thickens into ice cream.

Make sure you add more salt and ice to the outer bag if ice cream hasnt

formed after 10 minutes of continuous motion.

5. The second small bag is to protect your frozen treat from the salt water

bring. Wipe it off and remove it before opening the inner bag

6. Now is the time to add your favourite ingredients.

7. Enjoy!

Sun Safety: The Basics of SunscreenBy Katie McKeown

Naturopathic DoctorOptimum IntegrativeHealth [email protected]

This has been one of thesunniest summers on record.That has led to sunscreen flyingoff the shelves, and a lot ofpeople questioning the safetyand efficacy of sunscreens -wondering which are the best

to choose. With sunscreenpopping up in a number ofdifferent skincare products,it becomes difficult to knowwhats safe, whats effectiveand what to leave on the shelf.Understanding the issues, aswell as the purpose and claimsof different ingredients will helpdemystify some of the productsand improve the chances ofchoosing the right product foreach skin type and need.

First, it is important tounderstand the different issuessurrounding sun safety, and howthe sun can create damage to ourskin. There are two main typesof rays that cause damage to ourskin. These are UVA and UVBrays. UVA (Ultraviolet-A) waves

are long-wave rays from the sunthat penetrate deeply into theskin and cause the appearanceof sun-damaged skin: wrinkles& leathered appearance. UVAamplifies UVBs carcinogeniceffects and is now thought to

directly cause melanoma &some skin cancers. UVB wavesare short solar waves and readilycause sunburn. The UVB wavesare thought to be the majorcause of basal and squamouscell carcinomas as well ascontributing to melanoma.

There are two main types ofproducts available to reduce sundamage; sunscreens and sun

block. Sunscreens use chemicalsto absorb UV rays whereas sun

block deflects the rays. Sunblocks are the most effective,but are not readily available .Sunscreens can help reducethe damage caused by the sun,

but can contain ingre dientsthat cause other issues such asirritation and allergic reactions.

Some of the sunscreeningredients to exercisecaution with are:

P A B A ( p a r aaminobenzoic acid) - oxidizeseasily, stains clothing & maycause skin irritation

Benzophenones - knownto cause serious allergicreactions

Cinnamates benzyl& octyl methylcinnamate(often used in waterproofsunscreens) & causes skinirritation & allergic urticaria

Salicylate s benzylsalicylate, octyl salicylate,homomenthyl salicylate allhave been known to causeallergic skin reactions

Safer sunscreen ingredientsinclude Titanium Dioxide& Zinc Oxide mineralcompounds that reflect UVrays; non-opaque versionsare available but the use ofthe nanoparticles necessaryfor this is not well researched.

In addition to monitoringthe type of sunscreen or sun

block used, there are otherimportant steps that can betaken to reduce the risk ofdeveloping sun damage:

Skin Care Tipsfrom the Outside In

Wear light colouredclothing that covers theskin, which will minimizeexposure.

Reduce sun exposure toshort periods of time awayfrom midday and spendmore time in a shady area

Wear a hat Apply sunscreen or sun

block every 20-40 minutes,and immediately aftergetting out of the water.

Even waterproof sunscreensshould be reappliedfrequently

In addition to reducingexposure, there are manysteps that can be taken toreduce the risks from theinside out:

Skin Care Tipsfrom the Inside Out

Drink plenty of water keeping the body properlyhydrated is essential for skincare

Avoid smoking &second-hand smoke tobaccosmoke creates skin-damagingfree radicals

Consume essentialfatty acids - nuts, seeds,

avocado & low mercuryfish help nourish the skin,moisturizing and protectingyour skin from the inside out

Eat plenty of fresh,colourful fruits andvegetables valuable anti-oxidants in whole foods helpkeep skin supple; blueberries& blackberries are excellentskin-refreshers

Avoid highly processedfoods and refined sugars these foods contribute toinflammation which can

make the skin more sensitiveto damage, so choose wholefoods instead

Exercise regularly atleast 30 minutes of moderateexercise a day keeps youglowing

Lower stress levels chronic stress producesfree-radicals which canprematurely damage collagenin skin - try yoga, meditation,walking outdoors & calmingactivities you enjoy

Taking the time to beeducated and improve sunsafety will ensure a safe andhealthy summer!

Community MattersBICYCLE SAFETY

IS FOR EVERYONEProtecting Your Head is

Great Place to Start(ORILLIA, ON)- The

Ontario Provincial Police

(OPP) wish to remindcyclists of all ages thatsafety should be a priorityat all times.

The Highway TrafficAct of Ontario clearlystates that cyclists underthe age of 18 must weara properly fitted andapproved bicycle helmetwhile riding on theroadway. A properlyfitted approved bicyclehelmet will significantlyimprove your chances ofsurviving a collision byprotecting your head.

Cyclists over theage of 18, although not

required by law, shouldalso value their safetyand are encouraged toprotect themselves fromany potential head injury

by also considering theuse and wearing a bicyclehelmet.

The fine for not wearinga bicycle helmet is $80 andwhen that is comparedto the average cost ofpurchasing an approved

bic ycl e hel met , it isminimal in comparison.

When it comes tobicycle safety, InspectorDominic Beckett, Managerof the OPP Central RegionTraffic and Marine sayseveryone who rides a

bicycle is encouraged towear a helmet at all times.When safety equipmentis available and utilizedproperly, statistics haveshown that incidentsthat could result ininjury are significantlyreduced. Head injuriesare often irreversible andpreventing serious injuryor death is a priority ofthe OPP.

New designated driverprogra For Caledonunder developent

Although the winterholiday season is still somemonths off, work is wellunder way to implementa new community-basedvolunteer driver assistprogram.

Named the CommunityDesignated DriversAssociation (CDDA), theobjective of this not-for-profit program will beto provide drivers, whodecide they ought not to

be on the road, with a freeand safe drive home intheir own vehicle. Recentstatistics reveal that more

than 1000 Canadians arekilled, and 60,000 areinjured every year asa result of impaired ordrunk driving.

All of the donationsthat will be received foroffering this service areturned over to programswithin our Caledoncommunity. With thisnew service we expectthat we can create in ourcommunity nearly 10,000kilometres of safe ridingon our roads.

The new Caledon-based designated driver

program will be operatedby volu nt ee rs fr omcommunity service clubs,sponsors and individualsfrom the area. The intent ofthe program is to provide

designated driver servicefor local communityevents throughout theyear as well as during theChristmas season. Withthis new program we will

be working closely withthe OPP, PACC and theRIDE program which willincrease awareness of safedriving in our community.

More details will beavailable at a future date.

I received a lot of positive feedback aboutmy last column on buying a bathing suit. It isalways nice to know people are reading (andhopefully enjoying) what you write. Thedressing room scene seems to have touched aparticular chord. Apparently I am not alone.So I decided to take on another unspeakablehorror that most mature women have facedonce or twice buying a bra.

Remember your first bra ladies?Remember they called it a training bra?Training what? Our breasts? Or were webeing trained to continually buy ill fittinggarments for life? Hmmm...

Now a bra is an interesting piece ofparaphernalia that has become an integralpart of the female wardrobe (and a few malewardrobes too, so I hear but that would beanother column.) Most women own several

of them. Shopping for a bra is not so high onthe list for most mature women. It usuallyranks somewhere between cleaning floorsand a root canal. Lets see what Wikipediahas to say, shall we?

Bra designers and manufacturersoriginally produced bras that were purelyfunctional. Changing social trends and newfabrics and materials have increased thevariety of available designs, and allowedmanufacturers to make bras that are in someinstances more fashionable than functional.

So, particularly for mature women, brasare generally purchased for the functionof offering support and if they can also bepretty, well, thats nice too. Most women arewell aware of the difference between fashionand function. One need only look at the shoeindustry to see how gullible we are in thatarea. Now read on...

Manufacturers standards and sizes varywidely, making it difficult for women to finda bra that fits correctly. Bra measurementmethods vary, and even professional brafitters can disagree on the correct size for thesame woman. As a result, from 7585% ofwomen wear an incorrect bra size.

Now lets consider that statement for aminute. Manufacturers make a product thatis purchased incorrectly 75-85%of the time!Interestingly, the result is that women aremade to feel stupid about it. I think that - withsuch an epic failure rate - the manufacturersshould take a little responsibility! !!!! Sorry,was I shouting?

And now back to the dressing room. Themature and fairly well endowed women haswaded thru an endless sea of lycra, spandex,lace, and materials that look far to muchlike canvas tents to make anyone want to be

seen even glancing in that direction. Afterselecting a few promising choices, she headsto the dressing room and begins the dreadedprocess of trying on.

Stripping down and as always -wondering just a little bit if there is a camerasomewhere recording this for YouTube, shetries on the first candidate. Its a back closure.It has clasps that look like they could holddown a tarp in a strong wind. After claspingthem together in front, they are spun aroundto the back at the waist and the whole thing ishoisted up over the girls and the shoulders.She feels like shes been strapped in by arubber tire. Without even glancing at themirror it is a no go. Next.

This one is a step in attempt. She beginsto pull it up and somewhere near the hips,it begins to resist. As she pulls it harder, herleft hand slips and she smacks herself in the

face pretty hard. When she finally wranglesit on, her breasts are about 2 inches fromher jaw line and she is feeling light headed.Shes not sure if thats the bra fit or the smack.Doesnt matter she wriggles back out of it.It ends up looking like a large elastic band onthe floor. She resists the temptation to kick itunder the dressing room door. Next.

This is an overhead attempt. It slides onwithout incident but stops just above herbreasts. Too small. It wont slide off. Shecrosses her arms overhead and pulls hard.She slips and smacks herself in the headagain. It wont pull off. Panic begins to setin. She feels faint. It wont pull off! She issweating and begins an acrobatic dancewith her arms crossed over her head andpulling with all the strength left in her body.

IT WONT PULL OFF!! Shefalls against the door. Thesaleswoman calls out needany help in there? Godyes but NO! Feeling trulypanicked at the thought ofsomeone finding her withher arms permanentlyflailing overhead andher breasts exposed, (notto mention the YouTubevideo) she looks aroundfor anything that will endthe madness. She stands upon the bench and leans intothe wall hook and catches iton the bra, giving her justenough help to leverage theoffensive piece of crap offher. Shes breathing hard.

She is half naked and looksslightly insane. There arestill five more to go. Shecant face it, dresses andprepares to leave.

The saleswoman returnsand offers a professionalbra fitting. She decidesto give it a try and feels

further humiliation whenoffered what appears to bea double roofed tent withbungee cords. It is, saysthe woman, a good sturdybra in the correct size. Justwhat every woman wantsto hear. (NOT!) She tries iton. It looks even worse thanan actual double roofed tentwith bungee cords. She candeflate the cups by at leasthalf before they actuallytouch her breasts. Somehowthat offers a strange senseof comfort. Even theprofessional cant get itright. Its too big. HA!

Back to Wikipedia...

Fashion writers andmed ic al autho r i t iesemphasize that wearinga bra is a matter of choiceand not necessity. Womencan choose some types ofclothing that dont requirebras or may choose to gobraless. There is no medical

reason to wear a bra, so thedecision is yours, based onyour own personal comfortand aesthetics.

I found out about awoman who expressed thebra dile mma arti stic allyby creating a Bra Ball. It isa collection of 18,085 braswhich were donated byother (likely frustrated)women, that is both an actualhistorical time capsule of theundergarment and a socialcommentary of sorts. Youcan read about it at www.braball.com. On her websiteshe thanks everyone whodonated for their support.

So were back to the

support issue and basicallythere is nothing more to sayother than I hope you andyour girls are feeling well-supported and if not, lets allget together and roll the braball off a cliff!
