The majority of people who are in the best third of their lives experience pain when they walk. Although life expectancy is fast approaching 100 years, the range of motion that people can achieve constantly decreases from the age of retirement onwards. Experiencing foot, knee, hip or back pain makes it harder to go jogging, go on city breaks, take walks or play with the grandchildren. But it doesn't have to be this way. A weak foot musculature is the main cause of: • Back pain • Knee- and hip damage • Vein disorders • Foot diseases such as hallux and heel spur • Numerous other complaints Walk yourself fit In the kybun shoe, standing and walking on the elastic, springy surface, distributes the weight evenly and allows the foot maximum freedom of movement. This protects the joints, trains the muscles and balances postures. Walking on the elastic springy kybun sole: • Allows a natural distribution of pressure on the foot • Protects the joints • Relaxes and relieves the back • Activates the leg and vein circulation • Trains the deep muscles Sale Ends January 9, 2019 Hurry in for Best Selection *Some styles may be limited.*Some styles may be limited.

On the subject of drug- impaired driving, Smith noted impaired driving is impaired driving, whether it is done through alcohol or cannabis or other drugs. He said officers would continue to pull over drivers who appear impaired and noted a standardized field sobriety test at the roadside will catch drug-impaired and alcohol-impaired driv- ers alike. The police service also has officers who are now ac- credited drug recognition experts who have been trained to determine wheth- er an individual is impaired by drugs. Current penalties for drug-impaired drivingfor drug-impaired drivingf range from a $1,000 fine for a first offence to 120 days of im-first offence to 120 days of im-f prisonment for a third or subsequent offence. Drug-impaired driving that results in death could result in life imprisonment. Dr. Hamidah Meghani, Halton's medical officer of health has previously said residents should be canna- bis-free for at least six hours before driving or operating machinery but said this is only an average, because cannabis use affects people differently. Young, novice and com- mercial drivers can receive licence suspensions for hav- ing anything other than a ze- ro drug level in their system. Residents are also ad- vised to keep cannabis away from the border, becausefrom the border, becausef federally marijuana is stillfederally marijuana is stillf illegal in the United States and getting caught trying to cross into the United States with cannabis will result in severe penalties. Halton police noted this is true even when possession of cannabis is legal on both sides of the border. The example provided noted that cannabis is cur- rently legal for recreational purposes in both British Co- lumbia and across the bor- der in Washington Sta- te. That said, crossing the border from Canada to the United States with cannabis is still illegal because the border is governed by feder- al law, and under federal law in the United States, cannabis is still illegal. Getting caught taking cannabis across Canada's borders can result in up to 14 years in prison. Residents are also cautioned against trying to bring cannabis to Canada from another coun- try, like Amsterdam, where it is legal. "That would not be legal cannabis here because it is not regulated by Health Canada," said Smith. Smith said that for any- one who wants to smoke cannabis there is no reason to buy it from a drug dealer when they can get it from the Ontario Cannabis Store, where it is regulated and those who buy it can be con- fident about what is in it.fident about what is in it.f "I left our regional drug unit three years ago, and we were still running projects on high-level marijuana traffickers. So for me to stand up here now and en- courage you, if you are going to consume cannabis, be- cause it is legal, to actually go on a website is really odd to me," said Smith. "However, I see the value in the legalization of this ... If you are going to be out there and purchasing cannabis that is not legal, you need to seriously consider what you are doing."
