Physiotherapy is all about making you move better for life. Our physiotherapists will help you restore physical function after an injury and prevent future injuries.
We specialize in assessing, diagnosing, and treating injuries related to muscles, bones, ligaments, joints, and nerves. We help restore physical function with a range of treatment techniques such as manual therapy, injury specific exercise prescription, movement retraining, medical acupuncture, and various electrophysical modalities. Our physiotherapists are highly trained, providing clients with complementary treatment options that involve many of the techniques described below.
Manual Therapy
Our therapists utilize a wide selection of manual techniques, dependent on the needs of our clients. Manual stretching, friction massage, trigger point, and myofascial release are some of the treatments designed to restore normal length and mobility to soft tissues. Joint mobilization techniques are utilized to restore full range of motion in a joint, following loss of mobility. If required, joint manipulations may also be used provided that the therapist has the appropriate training and the patient's consent.
Prescriptive Exercise
Prescriptive exercise is highly effective and a key component of injury prevention, recovery, pain management, and general good health. We are very knowledgeable in providing patients with exercises specifically designed for you and your needs. Physiotherapists are experts and training the body to move, and move well. Whether you are pre- or post-surgical, returning to activity or work, improving your ability as an athlete, pre- or postnatal, or managing systemic conditions such as arthritis, our therapists will work with you to design an exercise program to keep you Fit to Play in all situations.
Electrophysical Modalities
Electrical and physical modalities, such as ultrasound, laser, neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), and interferential current (IFC) are all designed to stimulate tissue healing, reduce pain and swelling, and to restore normal tissue function. We may use a variety of electrotherapy tools during your treatment sessions.
Medical Acupuncture
Encompassing a combination of traditional Chinese acupuncture and Western medical science, acupuncture involves the insertion of very fine needles into the skin at specific points to achieve a variety of effects, including pain relief, reduction of swelling, and improved circulation. Medical acupuncture is not appropriate for all patients and thus a special assessment is required to determine if it is appropriate for you.
Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS)
IMS is a specialized form of needling that differs from acupuncture. It helps to reduce pain and dysfunction by inserting a needle into targeted areas of tightness and trigger points in muscle tissue. The needle produces a reflex response, causing relaxation of the muscle, thus reducing tension on other joint structures. IMS is not appropriate for all patients and thus a special assessment is required to determine if it is appropriate for you.
Functional and Athletic Taping
Injured joints and body parts may benefit from taping in order to protect the area from further injury and allow an earlier return to activity. Applying tape to the affected area may heighten proprioceptive awareness. Taping can also support the area allowing muscles that have tightened to relax and thus facilitating a return of motion.
Vestibular Rehabilitation
Vestibular Rehabilitation is a specialized treatment approach, which involves specific movements, techniques, and exercises, to decrease the symptoms of dizziness, gaze disturbances, and balance impairments. A specific vestibular rehab program is to be completed by the patient at home. Peripheral vestibular dysfunction has been shown to respond well to progressive balance retraining, specific stretching, and strengthening techniques.
Water provides a near weightless environment where individuals can work at a comparable intensity to land based exercise but for longer and without discomfort or post exercise soreness. The specific aim of hydrotherapy is different for each individual and condition or injury. In some cases hysdrotherapy is able to assist with the rehabilitation of musculoskeletal function, maintain or prevent deterioration of function, or prevent the occurrence of an injury. As every case is unique, an initial assessment by our physiotherapist must take place in order to determine if this type of therapy would be beneficial for you.
Registered Massage Therapy
Massage therapy focuses on soft tissue manipulation to enhance muscle performance and promote relaxation of the body's nervous system. The goal of massage therapy is to restore and maintain optimal health and pain free function of the body. It is a natural form of therapy that promotes healing, circulation, and waste reduction in tissues.
Registered Massage Therapists (RMT) in BC have the highest level of Massage Therapy education in North America. They are educated and trained to accurately assess and treat with techniques that include massage and manual therapy, joint mobilization, rehabilitative exercises and patient education. They focus their treatment on the soft tissues of the body, including muscles, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments and joints.
All of our RMT's have completed a diploma program and are in good standing with the College of Massage Therapy of BC.
GLA:D Osteoarthritis Group Exercise program
Do you experience hip or knee pain, possibly associated with osteoarthritis? In Canada, 1 in 4 women and 1 in 6 men have arthritis. Thankfully, this condition can be effectively managed with exercise. But, most of us could use some guidance on what exercises are ideal and how they should be safely performed. The GLA:D Canada Program provides cost-effective group education and exercise to individuals of all ages.
Hosted at our clinic in downtown Vancouver, our first program in the Fall of 2018 was a huge success! All participants improved in their strength and function and reported significant pain relief.

Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy
What to Expect from your Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy Assessment
Pelvic floor issues are incredibly common. In fact, recent statistics suggest that 1 in 4 women suffer from pelvic floor dysfunction. Some conditions treated by a pelvic rehabilitation therapist include:
- Musculoskeletal aches and pains (involving the back, hips, sacroiliac joint, groin, abdomen and sometimes limbs)
- Bladder and bowel issues
- Incontinence
- Prolapse
- Painful sex or an inability to have penetrative sex
- Pregnancy & postpartum recovery
- And much, much more
So, you've been referred for a Pelvic Health Assessment. Here's an overview of how your first session will go:
History: Just like any other Physiotherapy assessment, we'll go through a history of your symptoms, so we know exactly what your goals are, and to guide the rest of our exam. These conversations may include topics that aren't easy to talk about – your bowel and bladder habits and sexual health and history are of particular importance in order to get a complete picture of your pelvic health. Rest assured, we do all of our assessments in a private room, and have ample time to chat about those less comfortable topics.
External Exam: We take a look at your posture, the health of your low back and hips, as well as the muscles around the abdomen/pelvic region.
Internal Exam: The muscles in your pelvic floor are just like any other in your body – they can be tight or weak, causing pain and dysfunction. Unfortunately, this can be difficult to assess as we can't see/feel them outside of the body – therefore, we need to assess internally. This is not a gynecological exam – a speculum is not used for assessment. All steps will be explained throughout the exam – typically we are assessing the strength of the pelvic floor muscles, tone/tightness, coordination of the muscles, and tenderness or soft tissue restriction. Be sure to ask any questions you may have, and be certain to tell your Physiotherapist if you have any pain or discomfort during the session.
Education: We will review the key findings of your assessment so that you have a thorough understanding of your condition. Knowing what is going on is key to feeling in control of your body. We use pictures, models and whatever else is needed to ensure your understanding.
Homework: You didn't expect to leave a Physiotherapy session without homework did you?? Based on our findings you will be prescribed some home exercises to help improve your condition. During your session we will have determined the strategies that allow you to best connect with your pelvic floor, and you will go home with these exercises to practice.
Follow Up: The frequency of your treatments will depend on the assessment findings and severity of your symptoms.
If you have any more questions about this service before booking your first appointment, please contact us at your convenience.
Contact: If you have any further questions before booking an appointment, please contact Joanne Tishenko at joanne[at]citysportsphysio.com.
Pilates, originally, was developed by Joseph H. Pilates during World War I, as a way of exercising against resistance in an attempt to help bedridden soldiers of the war. It evolved over the years into a practice very commonly used by the dance community. Today, Pilates is more of a concept and the exercises have modernized, as has the equipment, to be more individually directed to suit the needs of the person practicing it. Pilates continues to have a strong connection in the world of physiotherapy and rehabilitation.
Pilates is not just about "the core" but yet, it is all about the core and the mind-body connection. Using a variety of equipment that is often spring-loaded, the exercises are low impact in nature making them safe for most joints throughout the healing process from injury. Pilates is designed to build strength, endurance, body awareness, balance and good posture. It improves flexibility, joint mobility, and breathing control. Exercise quality is the focus rather than quantity. And, as you'll discover, sometimes the lighter the resistance, the more challenging the exercise!
Using Pilates exercises within our Physiotherapy sessions is referred to as Clinical Pilates. Here at City Sports & Physiotherapy, some of our physiotherapists have studied Clinical Pilates and incorporate it into their treatment sessions. We also have a Pilates instructor who teaches one-on-one sessions, both for patients who are currently undergoing physiotherapy, as well as for those of you who have been discharged from physiotherapy but want to continue the practice of Pilates as a way of life.
If you have any questions about Pilates at City Sports & Physiotherapy, please contact us!
We provide Medical Acupuncture, performed by trained Physiotherapists.
Medical Acupuncture
Encompassing a combination of traditional Chinese acupuncture and Western medical science, it involves the insertion of very fine needles into the skin at specific points to achieve a variety of effects including pain relief, reduction of swelling, and improved circulation. Not all patients are appropriate for medical acupuncture and thus a special assessment is required to determine if it is appropriate for you.
Concussion Management
As concussions have become a growing, nationwide concern, we at City Sports and Physiotherapy Clinic feel strongly about doing our part to help manage these injuries by taking a collective and comprehensive approach for the complete management of a concussion injury: Education, Awareness, Baseline Testing, Physical Testing, Therapeutic Strategies and Return to Play Preparation.
We will work with YOU and your doctor, coach, teachers, employers and other health care practitioners to assist you in your recovery. We will assess and manage each individual as a whole and are committed to developing rehabilitative interventions that are specific to YOU and YOUR injury.
How is our approach different from other treatment programs? We recognize that concussion symptoms can stem from a breakdown in a variety of bodily systems that need to work together in a coordinated manner in order to process and to react to the surrounding environment. Our therapists can assess your cervical spine (neck) to determine if there are issues specific to spinal mobility and stability that may be contributing to your concussion symptoms. In addition, we can assess how well your visual system works with your balance and vestibular systems and its effect on your symptom presentation.
And if necessary, we have access to computerized technology to formally assess your neuro-cognitive abilities (specifically testing visual/verbal memory, visual motor speed and reaction time, etc) and then in turn we can use this technology to monitor progress throughout the course of treatment. Through a variety of screening measures we can determine if referrals to external providers may need to be considered for services such as Optometry, Psychology, and further medical investigation. All of our therapists who treat concussion have been trained in post-graduate concussion education and treatment.
Here at City Sports & Physiotherapy Clinic we are dedicated to assisting our clients from the elite-level competitor to the recreational athlete to the non-athlete who has sustained a head injury from a motor-vehicle collision or an "ordinary" accident to be able to return to their pre-injury level of activity. Our goal is to provide a high standard of care for ALL of our clients and we are passionate and committed to concussion care and recognize that only through a collective, comprehensive and client-centered approach can we achieve the goal of a safe and expeditious return to being Fit to Play©.
Custom Orthotics
Foot biomechanics play a vital role in how the body moves and functions. A custom foot orthotic is a biomechanical insole achieving alignment of the foot and ankle into an anatomically efficient position.
Your orthotic evaluation will involve a thorough history and complete biomechanical assessment including a clinical gait analysis. A 3-dimensional mold of your foot will be made and your custom-made prescription orthotic will be unique to your condition, activity level, and to the footwear in which you will use them.
Our physiotherapists have been certified by The Orthotic Group to examine you for the suitability of orthotics and orthotic footwear.
Athlete and Sport Specific Assessments
Our sport based therapists are trained to provide thorough, head-to-toe full body assessments with your specific sport in mind. A Fit to Play Assessment is an essential component to every athletes' training plan. Whether you are starting a new season, a new sport, or just want to ensure you are fit to play, this assessment is for you.
This full body assessment is designed to identify your weaknesses that may be predisposing you to injury in your particular sport. We assess flexibility, strength, alignment and muscle balance of the entire body. We will provide you with a summary of our findings and develop an exercise program for you specific to your needs and the demands of your sport. This Fit to Play athlete and sport specific assessment will help you to improve your performance, prevent injuries, and get the most out of your upcoming season.
Ergonomic Workplace Assessments
Whether you are looking for a comprehensive program or a single evaluation of an individuals workstation we can assist. Our ergonomic evaluations begin with an onsite evaluation of the employees workstation and work habits.
Job tasks are reviewed, occupational risk factors identified, modification to existing workstations are performed onsite. Injury prevention solutions and preventative exercises are provided. A written report follows, containing detailed description of the observed body postures, a job task analysis, recommended workstation changes and equipment if needed. Follow up is always available at no additional charge.
For further information unique to your worksite please contact us.

The kids are back in school, early morning frost clings to the last remnants of green summer grass, squirrels gather nuts for their winter slumber, and leaves turn a brilliant shade of orange, fall majestically in the cool breeze, and unmercifully clog up your gutters. It's time for autumn home maintenance!
Before old man winter blows into Calgary this fall, it's a good idea to take care of a few maintenance items on your home. Let's start on the roof, shall we?
Clean those gutters!
Over the course of the year, leaves, pine needles, dirt, and debris can clog up your gutters and downspouts. Break out the ladder and use a hose to spray out any rubbish that may have collected over the year. If your gutters and downspouts aren't free to empty,…

Cuzco City Tour
Cuzco City Tour, Peru
A half-day tour of the city and nearby Inca ruins begins at Koricancha, which was the Inca's sumptuous Temple of Sun before becoming the Spaniard's Santo Domingo church. The Inca stonework here is perhaps the finest to be seen anywhere and it has remained standing for centuries whilst the Spanish construction has succumbed to earthquakes.
Next visit the cavernous Cathedral on the Plaza de Armas which was built between 1560 and 1664 out of slabs of red granite taken from the Inca site of Sacsayhuaman. Visit this ruined ceremonial centre itself by driving out into the hills surrounding the city. This site is believed to be the 'head' of the original puma layout of Cuzco and is a breathtaking display of Inca building skills, consisting as it does of zigzag terraces and ramparts 300 metres in length.
You also drive to see three other nearby sites. Firstly, Tambo Machay, which is an Inca fountain and ritual bathing centre. Secondly Qenqo, which is a great stone carved with steps and pictures and a sacrificial table.
Finally you will stop of at Puca Pucara, which is known for a large rock that looks very red, the name literally meaning "Red Rock". The order in which the ruins are visited will depend on local conditions as the guides will endeavour to visit each set of ruins at their quietest.
who's been there
Other experiences in Cuzco
These activities are designed to give you the most authentic experiences around where you're staying. We work with local guides, who use their knowledge and often a resident's eye to show you the main sights and more out-of-the-way attractions. Our specialists can suggest tours and activities, such as cooking classes, that will introduce you to the local ways of life.
Chinchero Market & Ruins
During your day of exploration, you visit the colourful local market in the town of Chinchero. This is one of the most traditional markets in all of South America, and you will be surrounded by locals in their traditional dress all buying and selling their produce.
Huchuy Qosqo Trek
The trail takes you through small hamlets and affords stunning views of the Sacred Valley and Pisac below. The trail climbs steadily to a pass at 4200m, beyond which you will descend to a beautiful canyon, where a picnic lunch is served.
Moray, Maras & Ollantaytambo
Visit the Maras salt pans, the experimental agricultural terraces of Moray and the remnants of Ollantaytambo, once an important Inca administrative centre.
Pisac Market and Ruins
In the small colonial village of Pisac, spend the morning exploring the colourful Indian market, with its wide variety of textiles and ceramics.
White water rafting on the Urubamba
Today will take you above Cuzco to the Chuquicahuana section of the Urubamba River to raft on class III-IV rapids. Here the river is much cleaner and more fun than in the lower sections, and no previous experience is necessary.

Nicholas Logsdail
Stalwart London gallerist
In the summer 2013 diary of his visit to London, preparing works for his show at Lisson Gallery, Liu Xiaodong writes of how difficult it is to persuade locals to invite him into their home. After 46 years, Lisson is still an artworld cuckoo in the unhipsterish nest of Edgware Road, but this unlikely 'hood is the London home to Nicholas Logsdail's multigenerational family of artists. This last year, weapon-mangling Pedro Reyes and claymation heroes Nathalie Djurberg & Hans Berg have also been welcomed into the fold.
Meanwhile Lisson's senior artists continue to assert themselves on a global scale – Ai Weiwei and Anish Kapoor have had significant international exhibitions and Marina Abramović has been, well, everywhere. After opening its first international space in Milan two years ago, Lisson recently set up a by-appointment office in New York: rumour has it that a full stateside gallery is soon to follow.

I see eyeballs!
I'm not sure when this started... sometime shortly after we brought Carrigan home we made such a big deal about her being awake. Whenever anyone saw her awake they'd say, 'I see eyeballs!'. The kids still say this over and over. I thought this was an appropriate title for the pictures that follow! I hope you like them, I sure did!
I just thought this one was sweet... a moment captured without daddy knowing!Visit with Pop, Nana and the whole gang. Thought these turned out well...

The majority of 4-H clubs are in the rural areas of Kenya which experience varied levels of food insecurity. We believe that rural youth have a significant role to play in bridging the age gap in food production, as well as in bringing new ideas to transform food systems and agricultural value chains to make them more sustainable in line with the Zero Hunger target of both SDG2 and Kenya's Big 4 Agenda. Through our experiential learning model, enterprise gardens in schools and communities enable 4-H members to gain hands-on experience in good agricultural practices in selected value chains in line with County and National Government priorities. Enterprise gardens also serve the purpose of transferring accurate weather data, skills, technologies from young people to local farming communities.
4-H prepares young people under the age of 18 years in their school or community 4-H clubs to have the requisite skills to access capital and run successful agribusiness as soon as they graduate from high school or to explore academic courses in the Agricultural sector. At the club level, they not only learn about the dynamic of production but also aspects of agro-economics and the political economy of agriculture within their counties and at a national level, as well as exploring economic opportunities along the value chains through linkages to markets.
4-H Kenya is in partnership with the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the Agricultural Sector Development Support Programme (ASDSP), the Regional Centre for Mapping Resources for Development (RCMRD), the Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE) Programme in Kenya and Egerton University, all who provide resource that continuously enable 4-H members to explore various aspects of Sustainable Food Security and Nutrition.
Below is the list of ASDSP priority value chains per county, which guides 4-H club activities in Sustainable Agriculture and enterprise garden activities.

Yay, dressing in the most outlandish and coveted shades of the new season! (And according to this month's ELLE this colour combination is very in - I'm so ahead of the curve) I do like mix-n-matching so pairing the opposites of two Zara sets I have together seemed like a natural thing to do!

Listen to this article
Comparing our own taste to that of Handel's London, a programme essay for this Royal Opera revival says "it is hard to pretend that, for modern purposes, Orlando is some kind of Shakespearean masterpiece" – the implication being that it is little more than a string of virtuoso arias. But the point about Orlando, surely, is that Handel intended neither, and the productions that trust him – of which this is not one – vindicate his creative intuition. He was attracted to Ariosto's Orlando furioso precisely because its characters are complex, self-exploring individuals, stranded in a strange world of fantasy, and it's in that fantastical context that their singing becomes not just plausible but enchanted. In Orlando's climactic Act 2 aria, even madness finds a voice.
A new cast and conductor largely bear out this argument, saving a four-hour show from the feelings of disenchantment it aroused when new in 2003. Charles Mackerras and the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment set the tone in their stylistically flawless reading, alert to the dramatic nuances of each aria. On stage the performance is rightly dominated by Bejun Mehta's charismatic Orlando, bounding over every vocal hurdle in a triumph of expressive virtuosity. He meets his match in Camilla Tilling's classy Dorinda – this singer can do no wrong in my book – while Rosemary Joshua contributes a sweetly sung Angelica. Anna Bonitatibus, in an auspicious London debut, turns the trouser role of Medoro into one of Handel's plaintive contralto parts, and Kyle Ketelsen, another natural stage animal, lends welcome substance to Zoroastro.
Francisco Negrin's staging, decked out in Anthony Baker's flimsy reproduction set and sub-Gainsborough costumes, remains a mess. A team of three dancers, constantly upstaging the singers, is no substitute for genuine theatre magic and thought-provoking ideas. Shakespearean or otherwise, Orlando may not be Handel's masterpiece, but it deserves weightier treatment than this. In the circumstances, let's be thankful for all those arias.

Make an extra payment each year
Making 13 payments instead of 12 can save you thousands and shorten your loan. On a 30 year, $200,000 mortgage at 4.5%, you would save $27,000 in interest and pay your loan off 4 years and 3 months early.
Make an extra payment each quarter
Make an extra payment each quarter and you will save $65,000 in interest and pay your loan off 11 years early on the same $200,000 loan at 4.5% interest.
Get rid of PMI (private mortgage insurance)
If your home was purchased with less than 20% down payment then you are probably paying PMI. Check to see if your mortgage balance has changed enough to eliminate this charge and lower your payment.
Apply any windfalls
Get a raise or a bonus? Maybe a surprise cash gift? Instead of taking that vacation or putting it into your savings, apply it to your mortgage balance. A $10,000 lump sum payment on that 30 year, $200,000 mortgage at 4.5% pays it off 2 years and 4 months early and saves more than $19,000 in interest.

The real estate market in the Temecula Valley is showing more than just signs of recovery. More and more equity sellers are putting their homes on the market and selling their homes in a short period of time and at a higher price than we have seen in years. Foreclosure sales are still relevent but not in the record numbers that the media has given hype over. Short sale listings are scarce. Mortgage rates are ridiculously low. Buyers are everywhere and Realtors (including ourselves) are pounding the pavement looking for something to sell them!
Is it time for you to sell?
We can provide a professional opinion on potential value for your home to help you make that decision. We can be reached at 951-522-0518 April or 951-522-6308 Gary. Our email address is email@example.com
The graph below is a snapshot of California in general. Keep in mind that some parts of California (Temecula included) tend to outpace others.
Chardonnay Hills will kick off our "Featured Community" this month. It's located in the middle of Temecula, at the end of the city limits prior to heading into the wine country area. It's recognized most by the rock fountain entrance on Rancho California Road with the giant wrought iron gates that are set in a permanent open position.
The community features homes from 1600 Square Feet up to nearly 4000 so it offers a wide range of variety in size and floorplan. There are currently homes for sale starting in the low to mid $200,000's. Due to the maturity of the community, homeownership turnover is low. Many of the lots are spacious and offer views.
The community association consists of $110.00 per month currently and features 2 community pool areas, tennis courts, BBQ and Picnic areas, playground structures, sand volleyball, basketball and meandering walkways and trails within the neighborhood.
This community boasted "NO MELLO-ROOS" signs when it was being built and the property taxes here are very low because of that. The homes were so popular in the new construction phase that we once waited in line at 6:00am in the morning to put down a deposit at a phase release for our clients that were moving from out of state.

It's important that anyone considering the need or desire to short sale their property know what the "Arm's Length Affadavit" document is. Most banks will require this form to be signed at some point in the process of approving the short sale terms and/or at closing. In most cases the real estate agents will be asked to sign right along with Mr. Buyer and Mr. Seller. Holding your breath and hoping it doesn't appear is not recommended.
The form will vary by lender but the guts of it will be the same. In order to get your short sale approved all parties involved will have to agree in writing that
A. The Seller will not remain in the home. Period.
B. The Buyer and Seller do not have any type of prior relationship. Meaning mom and dad can't buy your house at a great price. Neither can your business partner or your brother, or…well you get the picture.
C. The Seller will not profit in any way in the sale. No cash changing hands on the side.
D. The Seller will not regain ownership of the home at a later date. A family member can't buy your house and then give it or sell it back to you.
Clearly this is a form that has brought about heated debate in real estate and legal circles (whether it is legal, if and how it could be enforced, etc.) however it remains an issue on most short sales. This is not an inclusive list but a variation of what we've seen in the forms. Each bank has their own form with their own terms. This is not intended to be legal advice, it will be up to the parties involved in each transaction what they will or won't sign. Some of the banks do not have this form at all.

A gentleman and a scholar; that's how coaches and teachers describe Joe Schwartz, an Alton High senior who has had quite the golf career while with the Redbirds.
Schwartz said he will attend the University of Illinois next year to study accounting, and although he won't be playing golf at the college level, Redbird coach Mike Hudock believes he's good enough too.
"Joe is probably the best golfer to come out of Alton High School," Hudock said. "He has the grades to succeed academically and the skills on the green to succeed athletically. He'll go far. "
Schwartz has a perfect grade-point average to go along with his hard work and stellar career while with the Redbird's golf team.
This season he had a 36.8 stroke average for 9 holes and 76.9 stroke averages for 18 holes. He was a first-team all-Southwestern Conference selection in a league that boasts some pretty good golfers. He was also first-team all-Southwestern Conference his junior year and second-team all-conference his freshman and sophomore years.
Schwartz shot a five-under-par 67 to win the Southwestern Conference Tournament at Belk Park Golf Course. Schwartz had three consecutive wins in dual matches with a scoring average of 36, and he fired a 73 to finish third in the Dick Gerber Invitational at Oak Brook Golf Course.
Schwartz has an 18-hole scoring average of 76.1 for the 10 tournaments he has played in and a 36.9 scoring average for nine dual matches.
The Redbirds' conference record was 5-2 and the only two teams to beat them were Edwardsville and O'Fallon, leaving them with a 7-2 record overall. The Redbirds finished second to Edwardsville in the dual match conference standings and third in the SWC Tournament. The Tigers won the tourney and the overall league title.
Schwartz is described as being very mature on and off the golf course; something his coach believes is not always the case when dealing with competitive high school athletes.
"He's very adult," Hudock said. "Other players and coaches look up to him because of how he handles himself on and off the golf course. "
He set a Southwestern Conference Tournament record this year by shooting a 67, as well as scoring big at tournaments in Quincy, Matoon and Illinois State.
In September he shot a 1-under-par 35 at the Lockhaven Country Club Course as the Redbirds defeated crosstown rival Marquette Catholic and Metro East Lutheran of Edwardsville.
His impressive scores and good attitude on the golf course
throughout high school have given him a good name among players and coaches alike.
But his hard work in the classroom has helped him get into one of the top accounting programs in the country: the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign College of Business
"Joe has had as good of a four-year career as anybody in our conference," Hudock said. "He's a gentleman on the golf course and he has led our team by example."

"It would take a miracle, you say? Well, if it takes a miracle, why not?" – Boyd K. Packer
Patrick is full of life. He's energetic, friendly, and quite honestly, very hard to keep up with. He is always moving. He rides his bike and scooter, pulls his wagon, drives his "jeep" or just plain runs around the neighborhood. He has a friendly "hi" for everyone and makes new friends whereever he goes. He loves cars, books, and Netflix. He can name every major car make by logo. He is fascinated with learning to read.
But while on the outside, Patrick looks like a healthy and happy boy, his scars tells a different story.
Patrick was born missing most of his intestines. He's waited almost 6 years before receiving a desperately needed liver-intestine transplant. Patrick was always far healthier than anyone would expect given the length of his illness. But it was this gift that gave him hope of a long and healthy life. On October 31, 2014, Patrick received a multivisceral (liver, intestine, pancreas) transplant at Nebraska Medicine, one of the best intestinal programs in the world.
Patrick's Journey
Patrick was born weighing just 5 and a half pounds with a condition called Short Gut or Short Bowel Syndrome. Because of a birth defect called gastroschisis, Patrick's intestines didn't develop properly. The defect allowed them to twist, cutting off their blood supply. As a result, most of Patrick's intestines died before he was born. Patrick was left dependent on a form of intravenous feeding called Total Parenteral Nutrition, or TPN. Because he couldn't absorb nutrients from food, everything he needed to grow was given to him through an IV. It's a delicate balance and a challenge for an active little boy to be tied to IV pumps all day.
Patrick's doctors gave us a pretty dismal picture of what his life would be like when we adopted him. They said his liver would scar from the TPN and he'd live his life in and out of hospitals with life-threatening blood infections. They said it would be like living with an hourglass running out of an unknown amount of sand, never knowing how much time was left. They were right. But we quickly fell in love with the one-week-old baby boy with brown angel eyes and a full head of black hair. We knew he'd need help and love with his journey.
So we learned how to care for him and we brought him home to Utah. The doctors at Primary Children's Hospital are wonderful, but because of Patrick's Ultra Short Gut, he needs more help than they can offer. He needed an intestine. When he was 6 months old, Patrick traveled to Seattle Children's Hospital where he was listed for an isolated small bowel transplant. He was listed Status 1.
And he waited and he waited.
Patrick waited for a transplant for almost 6 years. He's continued growing bigger and stronger. He beat the odds every day. But, 6 years of Short Bowel Syndrome took their toll. He developed liver fibrosis. He was prone to infections that took him from healthy to critical in under an hour. His veins started scarring so that every new IV was difficult to place and the doctors worried that they soon will lose the ability to give him the TPN that kept him alive. And as his remaining intestine became more and more overworked and dilated, his belly became more and more sick. Patrick was sick to his stomach a good amount of the time.
In February 2013, knowing Patrick needed more help, we took him for one more transplant evaluation. This time, we traveled to the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha. The news was a mix of good and bad. Patrick was far healthier than anyone would expect given the length of his illness. But, his intestine could adapt more than it had. His liver could not get better. He was running out of time. But they were confident they could help. They added his name to their transplant list and we went back to waiting and praying. We feared the worst, but tried our best to keep living life at its best, trusting that transplant would come when the time was right.
Patrick's Gift of Life
On Patrick's 6th birthday, he was given the most amazing gift – the gift of life. Our phone rang just after we finished wrapping his last birthday present and were headed to bed. So instead of sleeping, we woke Patrick, packed our bags, said goodbye to our families, and headed to the airport. That was the longest flight of our lives.
Patrick's opened birthday presents and trick or treated in the morning on October 31. Then went to surgery. His transplant was finished a little before midnight. The surgeon said things could not have gone more smoothly. Patrick, ever the fighter, was awake by the next day.
Recovery from this kind of surgery is long and painful. The next weeks and months were some of the hardest of our lives. They were also some of the most miraculous. We celebrated the holidays in Nebraska as we watched Patrick's new gut accept feeding. Within weeks, he completely weaned off of the TPN that had kept him alive for 6 years.
It wasn't much longer before Patrick discovered eating. And that, with functioning intestines, he could enjoy it more than he'd ever experienced. Right now, Patrick doesn't rely on tubes for his nutrition except when he is sick.
His recovery went so smoothly that we were able to return home to Utah just 4 months after transplant. Patrick was able to rejoin his kindergarten class for the last few weeks of the school year. He is now in first grade.
Patrick is loving his new freedom. He's fiercely independent now. He loves playing with the boys in the neighborhood. He's discovered he loves swimming.
His favorite foods are ham and mushroom pizza, corn dogs, hummus and crackers, doughnuts, and string cheese.
We are still navigating the world of special medical needs with food allergies, ADHD, brain injury and immune suppression. But we are doing it now with hope for a bright future ahead.
Above all, transplant gave us that gift. Hope. Patrick is making plans to be baptized when he turns 8, drive when he turns 16, and move away to college. Someday.
Even with very good medical insurance, Patrick's transplant was very expensive for our family. We want to thank those of you who generously donated to help cover medical expenses, living expenses in Omaha during recovery as well as doctor's visit co-pays, prescription co-pays, and the cost of travel back to Omaha. Because Patrick's transplant expenses will be ongoing, as he requires medication and follow-up care for the rest of his life, we do still have an active fundraising campaign with the Children's Organ Transplant Association.

My FaceBook events are not showing up in my Calendar on my iPhone 4 running iOS 7. Sometimes I can get them to show up by going into Settings -> FaceBook and turning Calendar integration off and on. Then a while later, I'll find that new FaceBook events are not coming through again.
The Calendar has the FaceBook Events option ticked.
Why is it not working properly?
My iPad 3 running iOS 7 doesn't appear to have this problem.

In my young days, I used to see Mirages over my attap-roof top. These were not not hallucinations, but sure enough they got me underway as a junkie – an aircraft junkie, that is.
My house was just about 5km from the then RAAF airbase, and among others, Mirage III-0 fighters would roar over my rooftop whole day long. Fascinating to watch them taking off, especially at night with orange and blue flames shooting out from their afterburners.
The shockwaves always managed to shake some little worms from the underside of my attap roof, and sent them dropping down onto the floor, or anything or anyone that passed underneath them.

At this year's State of American Energy event, we highlighted the impact of energy policy on the lives and livelihoods of families and businesses in every state. The connection between policy and pocketbooks is evident after a year in which Americans saved an average $550 per driver on gasoline, due largely to strong U.S. oil and natural gas production. But to maintain the economic and security benefits of America's 21st century energy renaissance, we'll need to make smart policy choices that increase access to energy resources, encourage infrastructure development, rein in misguided ethanol policy and curb costly, duplicative regulations.

State of American Energy Report 2016
During this week's State of American Energy event API President and CEO Jack Gerard described the economic and energy security gains generated by the U.S. energy revolution and the policies needed to create opportunities for the oil and natural gas industry to continue them.
Today let's focus on some of the things Gerard identified as potential impediments to American energy. These include ideological opposition to progress, anti-consumer initiatives like the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS), anti-market programs like the administration's Clean Power Plan, government red tape and regulatory overreach.

There are many ways to gauge the current strength of American energy. The U.S. is producing nearly twice as much oil as it did less than a decade ago, which, combined with natural gas output, has made America the world's leading producer.
Yet, the real-world impact of America's energy revolution offers a more meaningful picture. New tensions are roiling the Middle East, yet global crude markets have remained relatively calm – unimaginable a few years ago. Meanwhile, a tanker carrying U.S. crude oil left port headed for Europe – the first since the lifting of America's 40-year-old ban on domestic exports. There's the reach of our energy revolution.
In his State of American Energy remarks, API President and CEO Jack Gerard focused on the growth of U.S. energy and its benefits – and also the opportunity to sustain them with sound energy policies based on facts and science.

This weekend our country celebrates 239 years of independence, as well as our collective belief in equality and unalienable rights – enumerated in the Declaration of Independence as "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." Heading into Independence Day 2015, it's fitting to draw some connections between American energy and American life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Today: life.
It's hard to imagine modern life – in America or anywhere else for that matter – without liberal access to energy. It's fundamental to sustaining life as we know it, while also providing fundamental opportunity to people across the globe for whom life is a daily struggle. Let's take a look at some charts from Max Roser's Our World In Data project. First is global energy use, with energy use starting to grow slowly around the 1900 and then taking off after World War II.
Energy Rhetoric vs. Action

In a State of the Union address that mostly skimmed over energy issues – remarkable, given the generational opportunities stemming from America's ongoing energy revolution – President Obama still underscored the yawning disconnect between his all-of-the-above energy rhetoric and his administration's failure to put that rhetoric into action.
Talking about the need for infrastructure investment, the president said:
"Democrats and Republicans used to agree on this. So let's set our sights higher than a single oil pipeline. Let's pass a bipartisan ... infrastructure plan that could create more than 30 times as many jobs per year and make this country stronger for decades to come. Let's do it. Let's get it done."
We agree. America's infrastructure needs are greater than a single oil pipeline – the political football known as the Keystone XL – which the president has been punting around for more than six years.
But there's no good reason, no good excuse, for not making the Keystone XL pipeline Job No. 1 in a procession of infrastructure projects. President Obama hasn't offered any beyond calling "temporary" the 42,100 jobs the U.S. State Department has said Keystone XL would support. Yet, those jobs are no more temporary than the ones that would be supported by building bridges, roads and other projects the president routinely cites.
That's the disconnect between what President Obama peddles in speeches to Congress and around the country – and what his administration is doing.

'This Unique American Moment'

The U.S. energy revolution is fundamentally empowering. There's no better word for it. Because of resurgent American energy, our country has choices where the horizon once was filled with energy-based limitations.
Because domestic energy is more abundant, Americans have renewed mobility – literally, in the form of cheaper gasoline that's largely the result of U.S. crude oil impacting global markets and economically, because of oil and natural gas industry-supported job creation and investment, and a manufacturing renaissance spurred by affordable fuels and feedstocks.
No less important: The United States is more secure in the world because we're much less dependent on energy from adversarial sources. America's all-of-the-above energy potential is a powerful opportunity for the nation.
This is a special moment in U.S. history, the dawn of a new energy-driven reality that could sustain and grow American prosperity here at home and America's influence in the world. It could – if we seize it.
Throughout his annual State of American Energy address, API President and CEO Jack Gerard struck the positive chords of possibility in an American energy era – possibilities dependent on our national leadership's ability to support "smart, responsible and forward-looking energy policies that promote economic growth, job creation and U.S. energy security and leadership."

API President and CEO Jack Gerard's annual State of American Energy address put surging U.S. oil and natural gas production into context, saying that it has created a generational opportunity to secure this country's energy future – an opportunity that would have been unimaginable just a few years ago. Gerard:
"Our future is ultimately of our own design. … We will decide if America continues its march toward global energy leadership – a once-in-a-generation choice – or remains content to play a supporting role in the global energy market. We can erase what for decades has been America's greatest economic vulnerability – our dependence on energy sources from other continents, particularly from less stable and friendly nations – and fundamentally alter the geopolitical landscape for decades to come, all while providing a much needed boost to our economy. But only if we get our energy policy right."
