Some serious concerns about skateboard safety<br />
By Bill Uppman<br />
It was a well-used street<br />
approaching Carling Avenue.<br />
Two skateboarders were meandering<br />
along towards a green<br />
light at the intersection.<br />
Rolling along, not too close<br />
to the side of the Areet,<br />
they blocked a car that was<br />
headed for the turn lane.<br />
One made it across the artery<br />
on the green light. The<br />
other had to wait for a few<br />
cars to pass before crossing<br />
(jayboarding?) at a leisurely<br />
roll against the red<br />
light.<br />
I asked my wife to roll<br />
down her window, thinking to<br />
remind the lads of some of<br />
the finer points of road<br />
safety. But I failed to<br />
think of any helpful words<br />
and only felt frustrated as<br />
they nonchalantly passed on.<br />
What can one do in the face<br />
of such cool disrespect of<br />
danger?<br />
I remember when I first<br />
skateboarded. The challenge<br />

Friction was not<br />
yet vanquished, so I dared<br />
steep slopes and wrecked the<br />
knees on more than one pair<br />
of pants.<br />
Scary thing<br />
I can't fully relate to<br />
these modern boards that can<br />
challenge cars. The scary<br />
thing is that so many kids<br />
do just that.<br />
I don't want to sound like<br />
an old reactionary, but I<br />
hope I have outlined some of<br />
the concerns expressed at a<br />
recent meeting of the <strong>Glebe</strong><br />
Neighbourhood Activities<br />
Group. We feel this is an<br />
important issue. We are<br />
trying to figure out ways to<br />
encourage safety without<br />
discouraging the kids.<br />
The great thing about GNAG<br />
is that we are able to respond<br />
to community needs. We<br />
can help Glebites (in this<br />

case parents) to encourage<br />
community activities. With<br />
respect to skateboarding, we<br />
are working with Community<br />
Patrol Constable Lynda<br />
Gibson to organize some education<br />
on safety. We are<br />
also looking into finding<br />
some safer locations for the<br />
sport to be practised.<br />
One concerned parent who<br />
has come forward is Sally<br />
Bitz. We are very pleased<br />
that Sally has consented to<br />
be our Program Co-ordinator<br />
for Youth. We now have a<br />
youth committee which is<br />
working to develop appropriate<br />
activities. Anyone interested<br />
in helping in this<br />
area can contact the Globe<br />
Community Centre at 564-1058.<br />
Summer will soon be upon<br />

us and GNAG is not unprepared.<br />
Our sulluiter camps are<br />
organized and we look forward<br />
to another good season.<br />
We held our registration<br />
night for camps on May 29.<br />
We'd like to thank all the<br />
volunteers who helped with<br />
that evening. If you still<br />
want to register your child<br />
or teen, please call the<br />
centre.<br />
Summer is also a time of<br />
transitions. Roger Briere<br />
has been working with the<br />
youth since January. Roger<br />
has been a big help in working<br />
with the kids and also<br />
doing graphics. He is leaving<br />
us to go off to university.<br />
Thanks Roger and study<br />
