The Adrenaline Factor
This month I want to talk about Internet Safety. Most of us go through our lives using the Internet for work, pleasure, and interpersonal connection. We surf, crawl, chat, utilize Social Networking and enjoy almost instantaneous access to information and multi-media. We don’t generally think about the fact that the Internet is perhaps one of the last largely ungove ed places left on the planet. I defy anyone to say that the Internet is a “Safe” place.

Defusing The Anger Bomb
"Anger is like picking up a hot coal with the intent of throwing at someone else. You are always the one who gets burned.". Buddha Anger and violence are endemic in our society today. It is estimated that the rate of violent crimes and assaults is four times higher than it was in the 1960's. What would account for this four fold increase? The counter argument is that murder rates have steadily been dropping over the last 10 years. Don't kid yourself, this has nothing to do with a decrease in violent crime.

Avoiding Predators
There is a high profile sexual assault case going on in our Province right now. It involves the kidnapping and sexual assault of a teen girl by a man posing as a police officer. The young person was pulled over by an individual who appeared to be wearing an RCMP uniform, with grill lights on his car. She was informed that her vehicles tags were expired and was instructed to get into the back of the car. Believing he was a police officer she complied. Once in the car, she was taken to a secondary location and repeatedly sexually assaulted. Much later she was released by her abductor.

The word Gang causes a great deal of controversy and fear every time it is uttered.

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Kerry Sauve
"I've always believed that everyone has the ability to learn to stay safe and protect themselves from assault. Personal Safety is not the same as Self Defense, people often assume that these terms are synonomous. Personal Safety is about learning the skill sets necessary to reduce risk in your life and lower your profile as a potential victim of crime. Self Defense should be the insurance policy for when Personal Safety is not enough, not the goal of training."
