Each year, more than 500,000 people will suffer a ski-related injury on the slopes. The most common occurrence, accounting for 30% to 40% of ski-related injuries annually, is an injury to the knee. While preventive pre-season steps like physical conditioning, equipment checks and refresher lessons can reduce the risks, recognizing the injury when it occurs on the slopes and treating it properly is the best way to quicken recovery time and increase the chances of a return to the slopes before the end of the season.
Are You Tired Of Press Releases?

Both major political parties in Greenwich celebrated kickoffs at their party headquarters recently as the political season went into full gear with just two and a half weeks left to campaign.
Town Democrats were in a festive mood last Tuesday when they officially opened their campaign headquarters with a debate-watching party as Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) tangled with Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.). Greenwich Republicans opened their headquarters at 407 East Putnam Ave. in Cos Cob in style Oct. 2 with a kickoff featuring speeches from all their candidates and remarks by Rep. Christopher Shays’ campaign manager, Michael Sohn.

When Greenwich voters go to the ballot box in a little more than two weeks, it’s no mystery that the unaffiliated voters will be the key to any candidate’s success.
Plans to build a new chemical storage building along Putnam Lake in backcountry Greenwich will remain on hold until Nov. 10, when a public hearing regarding Aquarion Water Co.’s wetlands compliance at the site is continued. A Planning and Zoning Commission hearing on the matter will also be continued next month.
