Paradise Village Singles - December
December started off in true festive fashion with our party on the 1st It was a great affair graciously hosted by Carol Stoess who fit 20 people in her home She had made it truly attractive with numerous decorations of the season We were even greeted warmly by a lit tree in her sunroom )
There was a huge array of food and drink and we were surely in the spirit in more ways than one
Among the ldquofirst timersrdquo were Debbie Kokil and her mother Doreen Bilyk We noticed that they enjoyed the evening and we were glad to have them there Doreen is now famous for her cheese buns (yum)
A gift exchange was held and there was great frivolity whilst folks chose a gift by number Carol made a perfect Santa appearing with her singing hat The only person with any idea of the contents was Les who inspected every gift as they arrived Heavy or light they were all a surprise in any case
The birthday girl was Pat Shaffer and she was presented with a delicious Tiramisu Cake which she shared with all
A
Very
Happy
Birthday

HOW I LEARNED TO MIND MY OWN BUSINESS
I was walking past the mental hospital the other day
and all the patients were shouting ldquo131313rdquo
The fence was too high to see over
but I saw a little gap in the planks
so I looked through to see what was going on
Some idiot poked me in the eye with a stick
then they all started shouting ldquo141414rdquo

What snow has fleas Where
Most of us have never noticed snow
fleas unique little creatures that are
really very common and right under our
noses Heres how to find them
On a warm sunny winter day take a look at the base of a tree where the snow may have melted down to expose some leaves or where the snow is shallow or hollowed out just a bit There youll find a sprinkling of what looks like pepper or ashes on the surface of the snow Each speck you see is a snow flea Once you find them watch closely and see what theyre up to Snow fleas are actually tiny insects which come out on warm sunny days to eat
decayed plant material or sap oozing from the tree They hop around acting like fleas and
thats where they get their
name snow fleas
Theyre not fleas though but
actually an arthropod called
Collembola (kol-LEM-bo-la) or
commonly called springtails
which measure about 18 inch
(2mm) long They have a very
unique catapult system to get
around Two tails on their
back end are tucked up
underneath their belly held
in place by tiny hooks When
the springtail wants to move
they just release the spring-loaded tails called furcula which hit the snow and send them
flying into the air Since snow fleas cant control their flight or direction they frequently
land in the same spot or only a few inches away
These are not just winter critters You can find them any time of year in the forest
living in the leaf litter stuck to the underside of leaves or on the surface of the soil
chomping on bits of rotting vegetation They also live on the surface of ponds Youd have to
look very closely to see them here because they blend in well and are so tiny Next time
youre playing in the snow outside or just going for a stroll take a look and see if you can
spy these incredible spring-loaded springtails commonly called snow fleas

Activities such as snow shoveling or walking through heavy wet snow and snow
drifts can strain the heart enough to cause a heart attack Snow shoveling can be
more strenuous than exercising full throttle on a treadmill Shoveling or pushing a heavy snow
blower can cause a sudden increase in blood pressure and heart rate while the cold weather
causes constriction of the blood vessels leading to a decrease in oxygen to the heart
Together this causes the heart to work harder and can trigger a potentially fatal heart attack
Individuals most at risk include
those with a prior history of heart attack andor heart disease
those with high blood pressure andor high cholesterol
those with a sedentary life style
smokers
Tips to protect your heart and reduce the risk of heart attack
1) Avoid shoveling immediately after waking in the morning as most heart attacks occur in the
early morning when the blood is more prone to clotting Wait at least 30 minutes and warm
up slowly
2) Do not eat a heavy meal before shoveling as the blood supply needed by your muscles gets
Diverted to your stomach
3) Dont smoke or drink coffee for at least one hour before and after shoveling as these
Stimulants elevate both your blood pressure and heart rate
4) Dress warmly in layers which traps air and increases insulation to reduce the risk of
hypothermia Cover your neck and head -- 50 of a personrsquos body heat is lost through
these areas Cover your mouth Deep breathing of cold air can cause angina or trigger
breathing problems
5) Use a small shovel
6) Begin slowly and take frequent breaks
Know the warning signs of a heart attack
Tightness or burning in the chest neck back jaw or arms particularly the left arm
Light headed dizziness nausea shortness of breath and cold sweats
IF YOU THINK YOU ARE HAVING A HEART ATTACK CALL 911 and
take (chew) two 325mg plain aspirin not enteric coated

The image of a weightlifter graced the front of the Wintario lottery ticket The weightlifter was Russ Prior What had he achieved to receive such an honour I was to find out over the next half hour when I visited Russ and his wife Barb on Harmony Lane
Throughout his career Russ has set over 130 weightlifting records in Canadian Pan American British Commonwealth amp Olympic competition He was a 13-time Canadian champion and due to his father being a dual citizen a one-time American champion He was funded by Sport Canada because he was able to maintain his position as one of the top 8 lifters in the world Prior to his involvement in weightlifting Russ was active in other sports He was the 1969 Ontario junior badminton champion and was later offered a foot-ball scholarship to an American college He gravitated to weightlifting and soon gained international standing In 1968 at the age of 18 he set a Canadian record in the clean and jerk He later won gold medals in the 1970 1974 and 1978 British Commonwealth games as well as the British Commonwealth championship in 1980 and gold in the 1975 Pan American games He was the Canadian flag bearer at the 1978 Commonwealth games Russ made the 1972 Olympic team but could not compete due to an injury He won a bronze medal at the 1976 Montreal Olympics setting a record that was broken 3 minutes later by a Bulgarian lifter In 1980 Russ was ranked fourth in the world but could not compete in the Moscow Olympics due to Canadas boycott
Russ balanced weightlifting with academic studies earning degrees from Carlton Queens University University of North Dakota amp University of Manitoba He coached ringette teams that won several Winnipeg and provincial titles and one western Canadian championship During his 31 year tenure as a teacher at Nelson McIntyre Collegiate he guided junior weightlifting teams to 17 Canadian championships and a ninth place finish in the world championships
His proudest achievement Having 3 children who are professionally employed and married with children of their own

Do you need inner peace in your life
I am passing this on to you because it definitely
works and we could all use a little more
calmness in our lives By following simple advice
heard on the Dr Phil show you too can find
inner peace Dr Phil proclaimed The way to
achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you
have started but never finished
So I looked around my house to find all the
things I started and hadnt finished and before
leaving the house this morning I finished off a
bottle of Merlot a bottle of Baileys Irish Cream
a package of Oreos the remainder of my old
Prozac prescription the rest of the cheesecake
some Doritos a box of chocolates and a half
bottle of Captain Morgan
You have no idea how freaking good I feel right
now Happy New Year

November 20 2014 Had a very enjoyable visit over a cup of coffee They had been looking at moving to our community for some time now and both Gordon and Joan are very very happy to finally find a beautiful home that they can enjoy They made the move just when we had that cold snap so Joan still hasnt found her pots and pans or dishes now that it has warmed up considerably Im sure they could go out into the garage and find all those missing items Joan recently retired as an Administrative Assistant at a physiotherapy clinic however Gordon is still hard at it as Executive Director at Electrical Association of Manitoba They both love golfing and can hardly wait for the golf season to start Joan also does some crafts gardening and singing Gordon canrsquot hardly wait for the pool to open and his other interests are the Internet public speaking and a very keen interest in current affairs They have 2 children and 2 grandchildren Again I would like to welcome you to our beautiful Paradise Village and look forward to seeing you at our meetings the social functions pot luck dinners and other activities offered here Its a good time to meet some of the other residents living here

GERD ndash Gastroesophageal Reflux
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic digestive disease GERD occurs when stomach acid or occasionally stomach content flows back into your food pipe (esophagus) The backwash (reflux) irritates the lining of your esophagus and causes GERD
Both acid reflux and heartburn are common digestive conditions that many people experience from time to time When these signs and symptoms occur at least twice each week or interfere with your daily life or when your doctor can see damage to your esophagus you may be diagnosed with GERD
Most people can manage the discomfort of GERD with lifestyle changes and over-the-counter medications But some people with GERD may need stronger medications or even surgery to reduce symptoms
GERD signs and symptoms include
bullA burning sensation in your chest (heartburn) sometimes spreading to your throat along with a sour taste in your mouth
bullChest pain
bullDifficulty swallowing (dysphagia)
bullDry cough
bullHoarseness or sore throat
bullRegurgitation of food or sour liquid (acid reflux)
bullSensation of a lump in your throat
When to see a doctor
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience chest pain especially if you have other signs and symptoms such as shortness of breath or jaw or arm pain These may be signs and symptoms of a heart attack
Make an appointment with your doctor if you experience severe or frequent GERD symptoms If you take over-the-counter medications for heartburn more than twice a week see your doctor
A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions
and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

Paradise Village Singles - December
December started off in true festive fashion with our party on the 1st It was a great affair graciously hosted by Carol Stoess who fit 20 people in her home She had made it truly attractive with numerous decorations of the season We were even greeted warmly by a lit tree in her sunroom )
There was a huge array of food and drink and we were surely in the spirit in more ways than one
Among the ldquofirst timersrdquo were Debbie Kokil and her mother Doreen Bilyk We noticed that they enjoyed the evening and we were glad to have them there Doreen is now famous for her cheese buns (yum)
A gift exchange was held and there was great frivolity whilst folks chose a gift by number Carol made a perfect Santa appearing with her singing hat The only person with any idea of the contents was Les who inspected every gift as they arrived Heavy or light they were all a surprise in any case
The birthday girl was Pat Shaffer and she was presented with a delicious Tiramisu Cake which she shared with all
A
Very
Happy
Birthday

continued fellowship and fun

HOW I LEARNED TO MIND MY OWN BUSINESS
I was walking past the mental hospital the other day
and all the patients were shouting ldquo131313rdquo
The fence was too high to see over
but I saw a little gap in the planks
so I looked through to see what was going on
Some idiot poked me in the eye with a stick
then they all started shouting ldquo141414rdquo

What snow has fleas Where
Most of us have never noticed snow
fleas unique little creatures that are
really very common and right under our
noses Heres how to find them
On a warm sunny winter day take a look at the base of a tree where the snow may have melted down to expose some leaves or where the snow is shallow or hollowed out just a bit There youll find a sprinkling of what looks like pepper or ashes on the surface of the snow Each speck you see is a snow flea Once you find them watch closely and see what theyre up to Snow fleas are actually tiny insects which come out on warm sunny days to eat
decayed plant material or sap oozing from the tree They hop around acting like fleas and
thats where they get their
name snow fleas
Theyre not fleas though but
actually an arthropod called
Collembola (kol-LEM-bo-la) or
commonly called springtails
which measure about 18 inch
(2mm) long They have a very
unique catapult system to get
around Two tails on their
back end are tucked up
underneath their belly held
in place by tiny hooks When
the springtail wants to move
they just release the spring-loaded tails called furcula which hit the snow and send them
flying into the air Since snow fleas cant control their flight or direction they frequently
land in the same spot or only a few inches away
These are not just winter critters You can find them any time of year in the forest
living in the leaf litter stuck to the underside of leaves or on the surface of the soil
chomping on bits of rotting vegetation They also live on the surface of ponds Youd have to
look very closely to see them here because they blend in well and are so tiny Next time
youre playing in the snow outside or just going for a stroll take a look and see if you can
spy these incredible spring-loaded springtails commonly called snow fleas

Activities such as snow shoveling or walking through heavy wet snow and snow
drifts can strain the heart enough to cause a heart attack Snow shoveling can be
more strenuous than exercising full throttle on a treadmill Shoveling or pushing a heavy snow
blower can cause a sudden increase in blood pressure and heart rate while the cold weather
causes constriction of the blood vessels leading to a decrease in oxygen to the heart
Together this causes the heart to work harder and can trigger a potentially fatal heart attack
Individuals most at risk include
those with a prior history of heart attack andor heart disease
those with high blood pressure andor high cholesterol
those with a sedentary life style
smokers
Tips to protect your heart and reduce the risk of heart attack
1) Avoid shoveling immediately after waking in the morning as most heart attacks occur in the
early morning when the blood is more prone to clotting Wait at least 30 minutes and warm
up slowly
2) Do not eat a heavy meal before shoveling as the blood supply needed by your muscles gets
Diverted to your stomach
3) Dont smoke or drink coffee for at least one hour before and after shoveling as these
Stimulants elevate both your blood pressure and heart rate
4) Dress warmly in layers which traps air and increases insulation to reduce the risk of
hypothermia Cover your neck and head -- 50 of a personrsquos body heat is lost through
these areas Cover your mouth Deep breathing of cold air can cause angina or trigger
breathing problems
5) Use a small shovel
6) Begin slowly and take frequent breaks
Know the warning signs of a heart attack
Tightness or burning in the chest neck back jaw or arms particularly the left arm
Light headed dizziness nausea shortness of breath and cold sweats
IF YOU THINK YOU ARE HAVING A HEART ATTACK CALL 911 and
take (chew) two 325mg plain aspirin not enteric coated

The image of a weightlifter graced the front of the Wintario lottery ticket The weightlifter was Russ Prior What had he achieved to receive such an honour I was to find out over the next half hour when I visited Russ and his wife Barb on Harmony Lane
Throughout his career Russ has set over 130 weightlifting records in Canadian Pan American British Commonwealth amp Olympic competition He was a 13-time Canadian champion and due to his father being a dual citizen a one-time American champion He was funded by Sport Canada because he was able to maintain his position as one of the top 8 lifters in the world Prior to his involvement in weightlifting Russ was active in other sports He was the 1969 Ontario junior badminton champion and was later offered a foot-ball scholarship to an American college He gravitated to weightlifting and soon gained international standing In 1968 at the age of 18 he set a Canadian record in the clean and jerk He later won gold medals in the 1970 1974 and 1978 British Commonwealth games as well as the British Commonwealth championship in 1980 and gold in the 1975 Pan American games He was the Canadian flag bearer at the 1978 Commonwealth games Russ made the 1972 Olympic team but could not compete due to an injury He won a bronze medal at the 1976 Montreal Olympics setting a record that was broken 3 minutes later by a Bulgarian lifter In 1980 Russ was ranked fourth in the world but could not compete in the Moscow Olympics due to Canadas boycott
Russ balanced weightlifting with academic studies earning degrees from Carlton Queens University University of North Dakota amp University of Manitoba He coached ringette teams that won several Winnipeg and provincial titles and one western Canadian championship During his 31 year tenure as a teacher at Nelson McIntyre Collegiate he guided junior weightlifting teams to 17 Canadian championships and a ninth place finish in the world championships
His proudest achievement Having 3 children who are professionally employed and married with children of their own

Do you need inner peace in your life
I am passing this on to you because it definitely
works and we could all use a little more
calmness in our lives By following simple advice
heard on the Dr Phil show you too can find
inner peace Dr Phil proclaimed The way to
achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you
have started but never finished
So I looked around my house to find all the
things I started and hadnt finished and before
leaving the house this morning I finished off a
bottle of Merlot a bottle of Baileys Irish Cream
a package of Oreos the remainder of my old
Prozac prescription the rest of the cheesecake
some Doritos a box of chocolates and a half
bottle of Captain Morgan
You have no idea how freaking good I feel right
now Happy New Year

GERD ndash Gastroesophageal Reflux
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic digestive disease GERD occurs when stomach acid or occasionally stomach content flows back into your food pipe (esophagus) The backwash (reflux) irritates the lining of your esophagus and causes GERD
Both acid reflux and heartburn are common digestive conditions that many people experience from time to time When these signs and symptoms occur at least twice each week or interfere with your daily life or when your doctor can see damage to your esophagus you may be diagnosed with GERD
Most people can manage the discomfort of GERD with lifestyle changes and over-the-counter medications But some people with GERD may need stronger medications or even surgery to reduce symptoms
GERD signs and symptoms include
bullA burning sensation in your chest (heartburn) sometimes spreading to your throat along with a sour taste in your mouth
bullChest pain
bullDifficulty swallowing (dysphagia)
bullDry cough
bullHoarseness or sore throat
bullRegurgitation of food or sour liquid (acid reflux)
bullSensation of a lump in your throat
When to see a doctor
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience chest pain especially if you have other signs and symptoms such as shortness of breath or jaw or arm pain These may be signs and symptoms of a heart attack
Make an appointment with your doctor if you experience severe or frequent GERD symptoms If you take over-the-counter medications for heartburn more than twice a week see your doctor
A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions
and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

Paradise Village Singles - December
December started off in true festive fashion with our party on the 1st It was a great affair graciously hosted by Carol Stoess who fit 20 people in her home She had made it truly attractive with numerous decorations of the season We were even greeted warmly by a lit tree in her sunroom )
There was a huge array of food and drink and we were surely in the spirit in more ways than one
Among the ldquofirst timersrdquo were Debbie Kokil and her mother Doreen Bilyk We noticed that they enjoyed the evening and we were glad to have them there Doreen is now famous for her cheese buns (yum)
A gift exchange was held and there was great frivolity whilst folks chose a gift by number Carol made a perfect Santa appearing with her singing hat The only person with any idea of the contents was Les who inspected every gift as they arrived Heavy or light they were all a surprise in any case
The birthday girl was Pat Shaffer and she was presented with a delicious Tiramisu Cake which she shared with all
A

Birthday

HOW I LEARNED TO MIND MY OWN BUSINESS
I was walking past the mental hospital the other day
and all the patients were shouting ldquo131313rdquo
The fence was too high to see over
but I saw a little gap in the planks
so I looked through to see what was going on
Some idiot poked me in the eye with a stick
then they all started shouting ldquo141414rdquo

What snow has fleas Where
Most of us have never noticed snow
fleas unique little creatures that are
really very common and right under our
noses Heres how to find them
On a warm sunny winter day take a look at the base of a tree where the snow may have melted down to expose some leaves or where the snow is shallow or hollowed out just a bit There youll find a sprinkling of what looks like pepper or ashes on the surface of the snow Each speck you see is a snow flea Once you find them watch closely and see what theyre up to Snow fleas are actually tiny insects which come out on warm sunny days to eat
decayed plant material or sap oozing from the tree They hop around acting like fleas and
thats where they get their
name snow fleas
Theyre not fleas though but
actually an arthropod called
Collembola (kol-LEM-bo-la) or
commonly called springtails
which measure about 18 inch
(2mm) long They have a very
unique catapult system to get
around Two tails on their
back end are tucked up
underneath their belly held
in place by tiny hooks When
the springtail wants to move
they just release the spring-loaded tails called furcula which hit the snow and send them
flying into the air Since snow fleas cant control their flight or direction they frequently
land in the same spot or only a few inches away
These are not just winter critters You can find them any time of year in the forest
living in the leaf litter stuck to the underside of leaves or on the surface of the soil
chomping on bits of rotting vegetation They also live on the surface of ponds Youd have to
look very closely to see them here because they blend in well and are so tiny Next time
youre playing in the snow outside or just going for a stroll take a look and see if you can
spy these incredible spring-loaded springtails commonly called snow fleas

Activities such as snow shoveling or walking through heavy wet snow and snow
drifts can strain the heart enough to cause a heart attack Snow shoveling can be
more strenuous than exercising full throttle on a treadmill Shoveling or pushing a heavy snow
blower can cause a sudden increase in blood pressure and heart rate while the cold weather
causes constriction of the blood vessels leading to a decrease in oxygen to the heart
Together this causes the heart to work harder and can trigger a potentially fatal heart attack
Individuals most at risk include
those with a prior history of heart attack andor heart disease
those with high blood pressure andor high cholesterol
those with a sedentary life style
smokers
Tips to protect your heart and reduce the risk of heart attack
1) Avoid shoveling immediately after waking in the morning as most heart attacks occur in the
early morning when the blood is more prone to clotting Wait at least 30 minutes and warm
up slowly
2) Do not eat a heavy meal before shoveling as the blood supply needed by your muscles gets
Diverted to your stomach
3) Dont smoke or drink coffee for at least one hour before and after shoveling as these
Stimulants elevate both your blood pressure and heart rate
4) Dress warmly in layers which traps air and increases insulation to reduce the risk of
hypothermia Cover your neck and head -- 50 of a personrsquos body heat is lost through
these areas Cover your mouth Deep breathing of cold air can cause angina or trigger
breathing problems
5) Use a small shovel
6) Begin slowly and take frequent breaks
Know the warning signs of a heart attack
Tightness or burning in the chest neck back jaw or arms particularly the left arm
Light headed dizziness nausea shortness of breath and cold sweats
IF YOU THINK YOU ARE HAVING A HEART ATTACK CALL 911 and
take (chew) two 325mg plain aspirin not enteric coated

The image of a weightlifter graced the front of the Wintario lottery ticket The weightlifter was Russ Prior What had he achieved to receive such an honour I was to find out over the next half hour when I visited Russ and his wife Barb on Harmony Lane
Throughout his career Russ has set over 130 weightlifting records in Canadian Pan American British Commonwealth amp Olympic competition He was a 13-time Canadian champion and due to his father being a dual citizen a one-time American champion He was funded by Sport Canada because he was able to maintain his position as one of the top 8 lifters in the world Prior to his involvement in weightlifting Russ was active in other sports He was the 1969 Ontario junior badminton champion and was later offered a foot-ball scholarship to an American college He gravitated to weightlifting and soon gained international standing In 1968 at the age of 18 he set a Canadian record in the clean and jerk He later won gold medals in the 1970 1974 and 1978 British Commonwealth games as well as the British Commonwealth championship in 1980 and gold in the 1975 Pan American games He was the Canadian flag bearer at the 1978 Commonwealth games Russ made the 1972 Olympic team but could not compete due to an injury He won a bronze medal at the 1976 Montreal Olympics setting a record that was broken 3 minutes later by a Bulgarian lifter In 1980 Russ was ranked fourth in the world but could not compete in the Moscow Olympics due to Canadas boycott
Russ balanced weightlifting with academic studies earning degrees from Carlton Queens University University of North Dakota amp University of Manitoba He coached ringette teams that won several Winnipeg and provincial titles and one western Canadian championship During his 31 year tenure as a teacher at Nelson McIntyre Collegiate he guided junior weightlifting teams to 17 Canadian championships and a ninth place finish in the world championships
His proudest achievement Having 3 children who are professionally employed and married with children of their own

Do you need inner peace in your life
I am passing this on to you because it definitely
works and we could all use a little more
calmness in our lives By following simple advice
heard on the Dr Phil show you too can find
inner peace Dr Phil proclaimed The way to
achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you
have started but never finished
So I looked around my house to find all the
things I started and hadnt finished and before
leaving the house this morning I finished off a
bottle of Merlot a bottle of Baileys Irish Cream
a package of Oreos the remainder of my old
Prozac prescription the rest of the cheesecake
some Doritos a box of chocolates and a half
bottle of Captain Morgan
You have no idea how freaking good I feel right
now Happy New Year

GERD ndash Gastroesophageal Reflux
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic digestive disease GERD occurs when stomach acid or occasionally stomach content flows back into your food pipe (esophagus) The backwash (reflux) irritates the lining of your esophagus and causes GERD
Both acid reflux and heartburn are common digestive conditions that many people experience from time to time When these signs and symptoms occur at least twice each week or interfere with your daily life or when your doctor can see damage to your esophagus you may be diagnosed with GERD
Most people can manage the discomfort of GERD with lifestyle changes and over-the-counter medications But some people with GERD may need stronger medications or even surgery to reduce symptoms
GERD signs and symptoms include
bullA burning sensation in your chest (heartburn) sometimes spreading to your throat along with a sour taste in your mouth
bullChest pain
bullDifficulty swallowing (dysphagia)
bullDry cough
bullHoarseness or sore throat
bullRegurgitation of food or sour liquid (acid reflux)
bullSensation of a lump in your throat
When to see a doctor
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience chest pain especially if you have other signs and symptoms such as shortness of breath or jaw or arm pain These may be signs and symptoms of a heart attack
Make an appointment with your doctor if you experience severe or frequent GERD symptoms If you take over-the-counter medications for heartburn more than twice a week see your doctor
A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions
and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

HOW I LEARNED TO MIND MY OWN BUSINESS
I was walking past the mental hospital the other day
and all the patients were shouting ldquo131313rdquo
The fence was too high to see over
but I saw a little gap in the planks
so I looked through to see what was going on
Some idiot poked me in the eye with a stick
then they all started shouting ldquo141414rdquo

What snow has fleas Where
Most of us have never noticed snow
fleas unique little creatures that are
really very common and right under our
noses Heres how to find them
On a warm sunny winter day take a look at the base of a tree where the snow may have melted down to expose some leaves or where the snow is shallow or hollowed out just a bit There youll find a sprinkling of what looks like pepper or ashes on the surface of the snow Each speck you see is a snow flea Once you find them watch closely and see what theyre up to Snow fleas are actually tiny insects which come out on warm sunny days to eat
decayed plant material or sap oozing from the tree They hop around acting like fleas and
thats where they get their
name snow fleas
Theyre not fleas though but
actually an arthropod called
Collembola (kol-LEM-bo-la) or
commonly called springtails
which measure about 18 inch
(2mm) long They have a very
unique catapult system to get
around Two tails on their
back end are tucked up
underneath their belly held
in place by tiny hooks When
the springtail wants to move
they just release the spring-loaded tails called furcula which hit the snow and send them
flying into the air Since snow fleas cant control their flight or direction they frequently
land in the same spot or only a few inches away
These are not just winter critters You can find them any time of year in the forest
living in the leaf litter stuck to the underside of leaves or on the surface of the soil
chomping on bits of rotting vegetation They also live on the surface of ponds Youd have to
look very closely to see them here because they blend in well and are so tiny Next time
youre playing in the snow outside or just going for a stroll take a look and see if you can
spy these incredible spring-loaded springtails commonly called snow fleas

Activities such as snow shoveling or walking through heavy wet snow and snow
drifts can strain the heart enough to cause a heart attack Snow shoveling can be
more strenuous than exercising full throttle on a treadmill Shoveling or pushing a heavy snow
blower can cause a sudden increase in blood pressure and heart rate while the cold weather
causes constriction of the blood vessels leading to a decrease in oxygen to the heart
Together this causes the heart to work harder and can trigger a potentially fatal heart attack
Individuals most at risk include
those with a prior history of heart attack andor heart disease
those with high blood pressure andor high cholesterol
those with a sedentary life style
smokers
Tips to protect your heart and reduce the risk of heart attack
1) Avoid shoveling immediately after waking in the morning as most heart attacks occur in the
early morning when the blood is more prone to clotting Wait at least 30 minutes and warm
up slowly
2) Do not eat a heavy meal before shoveling as the blood supply needed by your muscles gets
Diverted to your stomach
3) Dont smoke or drink coffee for at least one hour before and after shoveling as these
Stimulants elevate both your blood pressure and heart rate
4) Dress warmly in layers which traps air and increases insulation to reduce the risk of
hypothermia Cover your neck and head -- 50 of a personrsquos body heat is lost through
these areas Cover your mouth Deep breathing of cold air can cause angina or trigger
breathing problems
5) Use a small shovel
6) Begin slowly and take frequent breaks
Know the warning signs of a heart attack
Tightness or burning in the chest neck back jaw or arms particularly the left arm
Light headed dizziness nausea shortness of breath and cold sweats
IF YOU THINK YOU ARE HAVING A HEART ATTACK CALL 911 and
take (chew) two 325mg plain aspirin not enteric coated

The image of a weightlifter graced the front of the Wintario lottery ticket The weightlifter was Russ Prior What had he achieved to receive such an honour I was to find out over the next half hour when I visited Russ and his wife Barb on Harmony Lane
Throughout his career Russ has set over 130 weightlifting records in Canadian Pan American British Commonwealth amp Olympic competition He was a 13-time Canadian champion and due to his father being a dual citizen a one-time American champion He was funded by Sport Canada because he was able to maintain his position as one of the top 8 lifters in the world Prior to his involvement in weightlifting Russ was active in other sports He was the 1969 Ontario junior badminton champion and was later offered a foot-ball scholarship to an American college He gravitated to weightlifting and soon gained international standing In 1968 at the age of 18 he set a Canadian record in the clean and jerk He later won gold medals in the 1970 1974 and 1978 British Commonwealth games as well as the British Commonwealth championship in 1980 and gold in the 1975 Pan American games He was the Canadian flag bearer at the 1978 Commonwealth games Russ made the 1972 Olympic team but could not compete due to an injury He won a bronze medal at the 1976 Montreal Olympics setting a record that was broken 3 minutes later by a Bulgarian lifter In 1980 Russ was ranked fourth in the world but could not compete in the Moscow Olympics due to Canadas boycott
Russ balanced weightlifting with academic studies earning degrees from Carlton Queens University University of North Dakota amp University of Manitoba He coached ringette teams that won several Winnipeg and provincial titles and one western Canadian championship During his 31 year tenure as a teacher at Nelson McIntyre Collegiate he guided junior weightlifting teams to 17 Canadian championships and a ninth place finish in the world championships
His proudest achievement Having 3 children who are professionally employed and married with children of their own

Do you need inner peace in your life
I am passing this on to you because it definitely
works and we could all use a little more
calmness in our lives By following simple advice
heard on the Dr Phil show you too can find
inner peace Dr Phil proclaimed The way to
achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you
have started but never finished
So I looked around my house to find all the
things I started and hadnt finished and before
leaving the house this morning I finished off a
bottle of Merlot a bottle of Baileys Irish Cream
a package of Oreos the remainder of my old
Prozac prescription the rest of the cheesecake
some Doritos a box of chocolates and a half
bottle of Captain Morgan
You have no idea how freaking good I feel right
now Happy New Year

GERD ndash Gastroesophageal Reflux
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic digestive disease GERD occurs when stomach acid or occasionally stomach content flows back into your food pipe (esophagus) The backwash (reflux) irritates the lining of your esophagus and causes GERD
Both acid reflux and heartburn are common digestive conditions that many people experience from time to time When these signs and symptoms occur at least twice each week or interfere with your daily life or when your doctor can see damage to your esophagus you may be diagnosed with GERD
Most people can manage the discomfort of GERD with lifestyle changes and over-the-counter medications But some people with GERD may need stronger medications or even surgery to reduce symptoms
GERD signs and symptoms include
bullA burning sensation in your chest (heartburn) sometimes spreading to your throat along with a sour taste in your mouth
bullChest pain
bullDifficulty swallowing (dysphagia)
bullDry cough
bullHoarseness or sore throat
bullRegurgitation of food or sour liquid (acid reflux)
bullSensation of a lump in your throat
When to see a doctor
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience chest pain especially if you have other signs and symptoms such as shortness of breath or jaw or arm pain These may be signs and symptoms of a heart attack
Make an appointment with your doctor if you experience severe or frequent GERD symptoms If you take over-the-counter medications for heartburn more than twice a week see your doctor
A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions
and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

HOW I LEARNED TO MIND MY OWN BUSINESS
I was walking past the mental hospital the other day
and all the patients were shouting ldquo131313rdquo
The fence was too high to see over
but I saw a little gap in the planks
so I looked through to see what was going on
Some idiot poked me in the eye with a stick
then they all started shouting ldquo141414rdquo

What snow has fleas Where
Most of us have never noticed snow
fleas unique little creatures that are
really very common and right under our
noses Heres how to find them
On a warm sunny winter day take a look at the base of a tree where the snow may have melted down to expose some leaves or where the snow is shallow or hollowed out just a bit There youll find a sprinkling of what looks like pepper or ashes on the surface of the snow Each speck you see is a snow flea Once you find them watch closely and see what theyre up to Snow fleas are actually tiny insects which come out on warm sunny days to eat
decayed plant material or sap oozing from the tree They hop around acting like fleas and
thats where they get their
name snow fleas
Theyre not fleas though but
actually an arthropod called
Collembola (kol-LEM-bo-la) or
commonly called springtails
which measure about 18 inch
(2mm) long They have a very
unique catapult system to get
around Two tails on their
back end are tucked up
underneath their belly held
in place by tiny hooks When
the springtail wants to move
they just release the spring-loaded tails called furcula which hit the snow and send them
flying into the air Since snow fleas cant control their flight or direction they frequently
land in the same spot or only a few inches away
These are not just winter critters You can find them any time of year in the forest
living in the leaf litter stuck to the underside of leaves or on the surface of the soil
chomping on bits of rotting vegetation They also live on the surface of ponds Youd have to
look very closely to see them here because they blend in well and are so tiny Next time
youre playing in the snow outside or just going for a stroll take a look and see if you can
spy these incredible spring-loaded springtails commonly called snow fleas

Activities such as snow shoveling or walking through heavy wet snow and snow
drifts can strain the heart enough to cause a heart attack Snow shoveling can be
more strenuous than exercising full throttle on a treadmill Shoveling or pushing a heavy snow
blower can cause a sudden increase in blood pressure and heart rate while the cold weather
causes constriction of the blood vessels leading to a decrease in oxygen to the heart
Together this causes the heart to work harder and can trigger a potentially fatal heart attack
Individuals most at risk include
those with a prior history of heart attack andor heart disease
those with high blood pressure andor high cholesterol
those with a sedentary life style
smokers
Tips to protect your heart and reduce the risk of heart attack
1) Avoid shoveling immediately after waking in the morning as most heart attacks occur in the
early morning when the blood is more prone to clotting Wait at least 30 minutes and warm
up slowly
2) Do not eat a heavy meal before shoveling as the blood supply needed by your muscles gets
Diverted to your stomach
3) Dont smoke or drink coffee for at least one hour before and after shoveling as these
Stimulants elevate both your blood pressure and heart rate
4) Dress warmly in layers which traps air and increases insulation to reduce the risk of
hypothermia Cover your neck and head -- 50 of a personrsquos body heat is lost through
these areas Cover your mouth Deep breathing of cold air can cause angina or trigger
breathing problems
5) Use a small shovel
6) Begin slowly and take frequent breaks
Know the warning signs of a heart attack
Tightness or burning in the chest neck back jaw or arms particularly the left arm
Light headed dizziness nausea shortness of breath and cold sweats
IF YOU THINK YOU ARE HAVING A HEART ATTACK CALL 911 and
take (chew) two 325mg plain aspirin not enteric coated

The image of a weightlifter graced the front of the Wintario lottery ticket The weightlifter was Russ Prior What had he achieved to receive such an honour I was to find out over the next half hour when I visited Russ and his wife Barb on Harmony Lane
Throughout his career Russ has set over 130 weightlifting records in Canadian Pan American British Commonwealth amp Olympic competition He was a 13-time Canadian champion and due to his father being a dual citizen a one-time American champion He was funded by Sport Canada because he was able to maintain his position as one of the top 8 lifters in the world Prior to his involvement in weightlifting Russ was active in other sports He was the 1969 Ontario junior badminton champion and was later offered a foot-ball scholarship to an American college He gravitated to weightlifting and soon gained international standing In 1968 at the age of 18 he set a Canadian record in the clean and jerk He later won gold medals in the 1970 1974 and 1978 British Commonwealth games as well as the British Commonwealth championship in 1980 and gold in the 1975 Pan American games He was the Canadian flag bearer at the 1978 Commonwealth games Russ made the 1972 Olympic team but could not compete due to an injury He won a bronze medal at the 1976 Montreal Olympics setting a record that was broken 3 minutes later by a Bulgarian lifter In 1980 Russ was ranked fourth in the world but could not compete in the Moscow Olympics due to Canadas boycott
Russ balanced weightlifting with academic studies earning degrees from Carlton Queens University University of North Dakota amp University of Manitoba He coached ringette teams that won several Winnipeg and provincial titles and one western Canadian championship During his 31 year tenure as a teacher at Nelson McIntyre Collegiate he guided junior weightlifting teams to 17 Canadian championships and a ninth place finish in the world championships
His proudest achievement Having 3 children who are professionally employed and married with children of their own

Do you need inner peace in your life
I am passing this on to you because it definitely
works and we could all use a little more
calmness in our lives By following simple advice
heard on the Dr Phil show you too can find
inner peace Dr Phil proclaimed The way to
achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you
have started but never finished
So I looked around my house to find all the
things I started and hadnt finished and before
leaving the house this morning I finished off a
bottle of Merlot a bottle of Baileys Irish Cream
a package of Oreos the remainder of my old
Prozac prescription the rest of the cheesecake
some Doritos a box of chocolates and a half
bottle of Captain Morgan
You have no idea how freaking good I feel right
now Happy New Year

GERD ndash Gastroesophageal Reflux
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic digestive disease GERD occurs when stomach acid or occasionally stomach content flows back into your food pipe (esophagus) The backwash (reflux) irritates the lining of your esophagus and causes GERD
Both acid reflux and heartburn are common digestive conditions that many people experience from time to time When these signs and symptoms occur at least twice each week or interfere with your daily life or when your doctor can see damage to your esophagus you may be diagnosed with GERD
Most people can manage the discomfort of GERD with lifestyle changes and over-the-counter medications But some people with GERD may need stronger medications or even surgery to reduce symptoms
GERD signs and symptoms include
bullA burning sensation in your chest (heartburn) sometimes spreading to your throat along with a sour taste in your mouth
bullChest pain
bullDifficulty swallowing (dysphagia)
bullDry cough
bullHoarseness or sore throat
bullRegurgitation of food or sour liquid (acid reflux)
bullSensation of a lump in your throat
When to see a doctor
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience chest pain especially if you have other signs and symptoms such as shortness of breath or jaw or arm pain These may be signs and symptoms of a heart attack
Make an appointment with your doctor if you experience severe or frequent GERD symptoms If you take over-the-counter medications for heartburn more than twice a week see your doctor
A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions
and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

HOW I LEARNED TO MIND MY OWN BUSINESS
I was walking past the mental hospital the other day
and all the patients were shouting ldquo131313rdquo
The fence was too high to see over
but I saw a little gap in the planks
so I looked through to see what was going on
Some idiot poked me in the eye with a stick
then they all started shouting ldquo141414rdquo

What snow has fleas Where
Most of us have never noticed snow
fleas unique little creatures that are
really very common and right under our
noses Heres how to find them
On a warm sunny winter day take a look at the base of a tree where the snow may have melted down to expose some leaves or where the snow is shallow or hollowed out just a bit There youll find a sprinkling of what looks like pepper or ashes on the surface of the snow Each speck you see is a snow flea Once you find them watch closely and see what theyre up to Snow fleas are actually tiny insects which come out on warm sunny days to eat
decayed plant material or sap oozing from the tree They hop around acting like fleas and
thats where they get their
name snow fleas
Theyre not fleas though but
actually an arthropod called
Collembola (kol-LEM-bo-la) or
commonly called springtails
which measure about 18 inch
(2mm) long They have a very
unique catapult system to get
around Two tails on their
back end are tucked up
underneath their belly held
in place by tiny hooks When
the springtail wants to move
they just release the spring-loaded tails called furcula which hit the snow and send them
flying into the air Since snow fleas cant control their flight or direction they frequently
land in the same spot or only a few inches away
These are not just winter critters You can find them any time of year in the forest
living in the leaf litter stuck to the underside of leaves or on the surface of the soil
chomping on bits of rotting vegetation They also live on the surface of ponds Youd have to
look very closely to see them here because they blend in well and are so tiny Next time
youre playing in the snow outside or just going for a stroll take a look and see if you can
spy these incredible spring-loaded springtails commonly called snow fleas

Activities such as snow shoveling or walking through heavy wet snow and snow
drifts can strain the heart enough to cause a heart attack Snow shoveling can be
more strenuous than exercising full throttle on a treadmill Shoveling or pushing a heavy snow
blower can cause a sudden increase in blood pressure and heart rate while the cold weather
causes constriction of the blood vessels leading to a decrease in oxygen to the heart
Together this causes the heart to work harder and can trigger a potentially fatal heart attack
Individuals most at risk include
those with a prior history of heart attack andor heart disease
those with high blood pressure andor high cholesterol
those with a sedentary life style
smokers
Tips to protect your heart and reduce the risk of heart attack
1) Avoid shoveling immediately after waking in the morning as most heart attacks occur in the
early morning when the blood is more prone to clotting Wait at least 30 minutes and warm
up slowly
2) Do not eat a heavy meal before shoveling as the blood supply needed by your muscles gets
Diverted to your stomach
3) Dont smoke or drink coffee for at least one hour before and after shoveling as these
Stimulants elevate both your blood pressure and heart rate
4) Dress warmly in layers which traps air and increases insulation to reduce the risk of
hypothermia Cover your neck and head -- 50 of a personrsquos body heat is lost through
these areas Cover your mouth Deep breathing of cold air can cause angina or trigger
breathing problems
5) Use a small shovel
6) Begin slowly and take frequent breaks
Know the warning signs of a heart attack
Tightness or burning in the chest neck back jaw or arms particularly the left arm
Light headed dizziness nausea shortness of breath and cold sweats
IF YOU THINK YOU ARE HAVING A HEART ATTACK CALL 911 and
take (chew) two 325mg plain aspirin not enteric coated

The image of a weightlifter graced the front of the Wintario lottery ticket The weightlifter was Russ Prior What had he achieved to receive such an honour I was to find out over the next half hour when I visited Russ and his wife Barb on Harmony Lane
Throughout his career Russ has set over 130 weightlifting records in Canadian Pan American British Commonwealth amp Olympic competition He was a 13-time Canadian champion and due to his father being a dual citizen a one-time American champion He was funded by Sport Canada because he was able to maintain his position as one of the top 8 lifters in the world Prior to his involvement in weightlifting Russ was active in other sports He was the 1969 Ontario junior badminton champion and was later offered a foot-ball scholarship to an American college He gravitated to weightlifting and soon gained international standing In 1968 at the age of 18 he set a Canadian record in the clean and jerk He later won gold medals in the 1970 1974 and 1978 British Commonwealth games as well as the British Commonwealth championship in 1980 and gold in the 1975 Pan American games He was the Canadian flag bearer at the 1978 Commonwealth games Russ made the 1972 Olympic team but could not compete due to an injury He won a bronze medal at the 1976 Montreal Olympics setting a record that was broken 3 minutes later by a Bulgarian lifter In 1980 Russ was ranked fourth in the world but could not compete in the Moscow Olympics due to Canadas boycott
Russ balanced weightlifting with academic studies earning degrees from Carlton Queens University University of North Dakota amp University of Manitoba He coached ringette teams that won several Winnipeg and provincial titles and one western Canadian championship During his 31 year tenure as a teacher at Nelson McIntyre Collegiate he guided junior weightlifting teams to 17 Canadian championships and a ninth place finish in the world championships
His proudest achievement Having 3 children who are professionally employed and married with children of their own

Do you need inner peace in your life
I am passing this on to you because it definitely
works and we could all use a little more
calmness in our lives By following simple advice
heard on the Dr Phil show you too can find
inner peace Dr Phil proclaimed The way to
achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you
have started but never finished
So I looked around my house to find all the
things I started and hadnt finished and before
leaving the house this morning I finished off a
bottle of Merlot a bottle of Baileys Irish Cream
a package of Oreos the remainder of my old
Prozac prescription the rest of the cheesecake
some Doritos a box of chocolates and a half
bottle of Captain Morgan
You have no idea how freaking good I feel right
now Happy New Year

P A R A D I S E V I L L A G E N E W S Welcome New Residents Bill Holowec amp Shirley Neufeld - 6 Village Drive - moved from Winnipeg to their new home on October 15 2014 They are both absolutely happy to have made the move to beautiful Paradise Village Now that they have moved here they are closer to Shirleys mother who lives in Richer That is probably one of the reasons they made the move They both told me that it felt like living at the lake here so many other people have said the same thing They love the tranquility the peaceful quiet atmosphere and their friendly neighbors At the present time they are both still working however Bill plans on retiring in the spring from his job as manufacturing engineer at New Flyer Industries Shirley is in Accounts Receivable with Mariner Neptune and plans on working for awhile yet She loves gardening cooking walking and cycling Bill likes walking and cycling as well but his greatest interest is restoring cars Between them there are 6 children 10 grandchildren and 1 great-grandchild They have a beautiful big place no problem to accommodate and entertain their family Bill and Shirley it was a pleasure to meet and greet you and I look forward to seeing you at the many functions that take place here in the Village
Gordon and Joan Macpherson - 14 Sunset Drive - moved from Winnipeg to Paradise Village on
November 20 2014 Had a very enjoyable visit over a cup of coffee They had been looking at moving to our community for some time now and both Gordon and Joan are very very happy to finally find a beautiful home that they can enjoy They made the move just when we had that cold snap so Joan still hasnt found her pots and pans or dishes now that it has warmed up considerably Im sure they could go out into the garage and find all those missing items Joan recently retired as an Administrative Assistant at a physiotherapy clinic however Gordon is still hard at it as Executive Director at Electrical Association of Manitoba They both love golfing and can hardly wait for the golf season to start Joan also does some crafts gardening and singing Gordon canrsquot hardly wait for the pool to open and his other interests are the Internet public speaking and a very keen interest in current affairs They have 2 children and 2 grandchildren Again I would like to welcome you to our beautiful Paradise Village and look forward to seeing you at our meetings the social functions pot luck dinners and other activities offered here Its a good time to meet some of the other residents living here

GERD ndash Gastroesophageal Reflux
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic digestive disease GERD occurs when stomach acid or occasionally stomach content flows back into your food pipe (esophagus) The backwash (reflux) irritates the lining of your esophagus and causes GERD
Both acid reflux and heartburn are common digestive conditions that many people experience from time to time When these signs and symptoms occur at least twice each week or interfere with your daily life or when your doctor can see damage to your esophagus you may be diagnosed with GERD
Most people can manage the discomfort of GERD with lifestyle changes and over-the-counter medications But some people with GERD may need stronger medications or even surgery to reduce symptoms
GERD signs and symptoms include
bullA burning sensation in your chest (heartburn) sometimes spreading to your throat along with a sour taste in your mouth
bullChest pain
bullDifficulty swallowing (dysphagia)
bullDry cough
bullHoarseness or sore throat
bullRegurgitation of food or sour liquid (acid reflux)
bullSensation of a lump in your throat
When to see a doctor
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience chest pain especially if you have other signs and symptoms such as shortness of breath or jaw or arm pain These may be signs and symptoms of a heart attack
Make an appointment with your doctor if you experience severe or frequent GERD symptoms If you take over-the-counter medications for heartburn more than twice a week see your doctor
A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions
and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

HOW I LEARNED TO MIND MY OWN BUSINESS
I was walking past the mental hospital the other day
and all the patients were shouting ldquo131313rdquo
The fence was too high to see over
but I saw a little gap in the planks
so I looked through to see what was going on
Some idiot poked me in the eye with a stick
then they all started shouting ldquo141414rdquo

What snow has fleas Where
Most of us have never noticed snow
fleas unique little creatures that are
really very common and right under our
noses Heres how to find them
On a warm sunny winter day take a look at the base of a tree where the snow may have melted down to expose some leaves or where the snow is shallow or hollowed out just a bit There youll find a sprinkling of what looks like pepper or ashes on the surface of the snow Each speck you see is a snow flea Once you find them watch closely and see what theyre up to Snow fleas are actually tiny insects which come out on warm sunny days to eat
decayed plant material or sap oozing from the tree They hop around acting like fleas and
thats where they get their
name snow fleas
Theyre not fleas though but
actually an arthropod called
Collembola (kol-LEM-bo-la) or
commonly called springtails
which measure about 18 inch
(2mm) long They have a very
unique catapult system to get
around Two tails on their
back end are tucked up
underneath their belly held
in place by tiny hooks When
the springtail wants to move
they just release the spring-loaded tails called furcula which hit the snow and send them
flying into the air Since snow fleas cant control their flight or direction they frequently
land in the same spot or only a few inches away
These are not just winter critters You can find them any time of year in the forest
living in the leaf litter stuck to the underside of leaves or on the surface of the soil
chomping on bits of rotting vegetation They also live on the surface of ponds Youd have to
look very closely to see them here because they blend in well and are so tiny Next time
youre playing in the snow outside or just going for a stroll take a look and see if you can
spy these incredible spring-loaded springtails commonly called snow fleas

Activities such as snow shoveling or walking through heavy wet snow and snow
drifts can strain the heart enough to cause a heart attack Snow shoveling can be
more strenuous than exercising full throttle on a treadmill Shoveling or pushing a heavy snow
blower can cause a sudden increase in blood pressure and heart rate while the cold weather
causes constriction of the blood vessels leading to a decrease in oxygen to the heart
Together this causes the heart to work harder and can trigger a potentially fatal heart attack
Individuals most at risk include
those with a prior history of heart attack andor heart disease
those with high blood pressure andor high cholesterol
those with a sedentary life style
smokers
Tips to protect your heart and reduce the risk of heart attack
1) Avoid shoveling immediately after waking in the morning as most heart attacks occur in the
early morning when the blood is more prone to clotting Wait at least 30 minutes and warm
up slowly
2) Do not eat a heavy meal before shoveling as the blood supply needed by your muscles gets
Diverted to your stomach
3) Dont smoke or drink coffee for at least one hour before and after shoveling as these
Stimulants elevate both your blood pressure and heart rate
4) Dress warmly in layers which traps air and increases insulation to reduce the risk of
hypothermia Cover your neck and head -- 50 of a personrsquos body heat is lost through
these areas Cover your mouth Deep breathing of cold air can cause angina or trigger
breathing problems
5) Use a small shovel
6) Begin slowly and take frequent breaks
Know the warning signs of a heart attack
Tightness or burning in the chest neck back jaw or arms particularly the left arm
Light headed dizziness nausea shortness of breath and cold sweats
IF YOU THINK YOU ARE HAVING A HEART ATTACK CALL 911 and
take (chew) two 325mg plain aspirin not enteric coated

The image of a weightlifter graced the front of the Wintario lottery ticket The weightlifter was Russ Prior What had he achieved to receive such an honour I was to find out over the next half hour when I visited Russ and his wife Barb on Harmony Lane
Throughout his career Russ has set over 130 weightlifting records in Canadian Pan American British Commonwealth amp Olympic competition He was a 13-time Canadian champion and due to his father being a dual citizen a one-time American champion He was funded by Sport Canada because he was able to maintain his position as one of the top 8 lifters in the world Prior to his involvement in weightlifting Russ was active in other sports He was the 1969 Ontario junior badminton champion and was later offered a foot-ball scholarship to an American college He gravitated to weightlifting and soon gained international standing In 1968 at the age of 18 he set a Canadian record in the clean and jerk He later won gold medals in the 1970 1974 and 1978 British Commonwealth games as well as the British Commonwealth championship in 1980 and gold in the 1975 Pan American games He was the Canadian flag bearer at the 1978 Commonwealth games Russ made the 1972 Olympic team but could not compete due to an injury He won a bronze medal at the 1976 Montreal Olympics setting a record that was broken 3 minutes later by a Bulgarian lifter In 1980 Russ was ranked fourth in the world but could not compete in the Moscow Olympics due to Canadas boycott
Russ balanced weightlifting with academic studies earning degrees from Carlton Queens University University of North Dakota amp University of Manitoba He coached ringette teams that won several Winnipeg and provincial titles and one western Canadian championship During his 31 year tenure as a teacher at Nelson McIntyre Collegiate he guided junior weightlifting teams to 17 Canadian championships and a ninth place finish in the world championships
His proudest achievement Having 3 children who are professionally employed and married with children of their own

Do you need inner peace in your life
I am passing this on to you because it definitely
works and we could all use a little more
calmness in our lives By following simple advice
heard on the Dr Phil show you too can find
inner peace Dr Phil proclaimed The way to
achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you
have started but never finished
So I looked around my house to find all the
things I started and hadnt finished and before
leaving the house this morning I finished off a
bottle of Merlot a bottle of Baileys Irish Cream
a package of Oreos the remainder of my old
Prozac prescription the rest of the cheesecake
some Doritos a box of chocolates and a half
bottle of Captain Morgan
You have no idea how freaking good I feel right
now Happy New Year

GERD ndash Gastroesophageal Reflux
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic digestive disease GERD occurs when stomach acid or occasionally stomach content flows back into your food pipe (esophagus) The backwash (reflux) irritates the lining of your esophagus and causes GERD
Both acid reflux and heartburn are common digestive conditions that many people experience from time to time When these signs and symptoms occur at least twice each week or interfere with your daily life or when your doctor can see damage to your esophagus you may be diagnosed with GERD
Most people can manage the discomfort of GERD with lifestyle changes and over-the-counter medications But some people with GERD may need stronger medications or even surgery to reduce symptoms
GERD signs and symptoms include
bullA burning sensation in your chest (heartburn) sometimes spreading to your throat along with a sour taste in your mouth
bullChest pain
bullDifficulty swallowing (dysphagia)
bullDry cough
bullHoarseness or sore throat
bullRegurgitation of food or sour liquid (acid reflux)
bullSensation of a lump in your throat
When to see a doctor
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience chest pain especially if you have other signs and symptoms such as shortness of breath or jaw or arm pain These may be signs and symptoms of a heart attack
Make an appointment with your doctor if you experience severe or frequent GERD symptoms If you take over-the-counter medications for heartburn more than twice a week see your doctor
A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions
and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

HOW I LEARNED TO MIND MY OWN BUSINESS
I was walking past the mental hospital the other day
and all the patients were shouting ldquo131313rdquo
The fence was too high to see over
but I saw a little gap in the planks
so I looked through to see what was going on
Some idiot poked me in the eye with a stick
then they all started shouting ldquo141414rdquo

What snow has fleas Where
Most of us have never noticed snow
fleas unique little creatures that are
really very common and right under our
noses Heres how to find them
On a warm sunny winter day take a look at the base of a tree where the snow may have melted down to expose some leaves or where the snow is shallow or hollowed out just a bit There youll find a sprinkling of what looks like pepper or ashes on the surface of the snow Each speck you see is a snow flea Once you find them watch closely and see what theyre up to Snow fleas are actually tiny insects which come out on warm sunny days to eat
decayed plant material or sap oozing from the tree They hop around acting like fleas and
thats where they get their
name snow fleas
Theyre not fleas though but
actually an arthropod called
Collembola (kol-LEM-bo-la) or
commonly called springtails
which measure about 18 inch
(2mm) long They have a very
unique catapult system to get
around Two tails on their
back end are tucked up
underneath their belly held
in place by tiny hooks When
the springtail wants to move
they just release the spring-loaded tails called furcula which hit the snow and send them
flying into the air Since snow fleas cant control their flight or direction they frequently
land in the same spot or only a few inches away
These are not just winter critters You can find them any time of year in the forest
living in the leaf litter stuck to the underside of leaves or on the surface of the soil
chomping on bits of rotting vegetation They also live on the surface of ponds Youd have to
look very closely to see them here because they blend in well and are so tiny Next time
youre playing in the snow outside or just going for a stroll take a look and see if you can
spy these incredible spring-loaded springtails commonly called snow fleas

Activities such as snow shoveling or walking through heavy wet snow and snow
drifts can strain the heart enough to cause a heart attack Snow shoveling can be
more strenuous than exercising full throttle on a treadmill Shoveling or pushing a heavy snow
blower can cause a sudden increase in blood pressure and heart rate while the cold weather
causes constriction of the blood vessels leading to a decrease in oxygen to the heart
Together this causes the heart to work harder and can trigger a potentially fatal heart attack
Individuals most at risk include
those with a prior history of heart attack andor heart disease
those with high blood pressure andor high cholesterol
those with a sedentary life style
smokers
Tips to protect your heart and reduce the risk of heart attack
1) Avoid shoveling immediately after waking in the morning as most heart attacks occur in the
early morning when the blood is more prone to clotting Wait at least 30 minutes and warm
up slowly
2) Do not eat a heavy meal before shoveling as the blood supply needed by your muscles gets
Diverted to your stomach
3) Dont smoke or drink coffee for at least one hour before and after shoveling as these
Stimulants elevate both your blood pressure and heart rate
4) Dress warmly in layers which traps air and increases insulation to reduce the risk of
hypothermia Cover your neck and head -- 50 of a personrsquos body heat is lost through
these areas Cover your mouth Deep breathing of cold air can cause angina or trigger
breathing problems
5) Use a small shovel
6) Begin slowly and take frequent breaks
Know the warning signs of a heart attack
Tightness or burning in the chest neck back jaw or arms particularly the left arm
Light headed dizziness nausea shortness of breath and cold sweats
IF YOU THINK YOU ARE HAVING A HEART ATTACK CALL 911 and
take (chew) two 325mg plain aspirin not enteric coated

The image of a weightlifter graced the front of the Wintario lottery ticket The weightlifter was Russ Prior What had he achieved to receive such an honour I was to find out over the next half hour when I visited Russ and his wife Barb on Harmony Lane
Throughout his career Russ has set over 130 weightlifting records in Canadian Pan American British Commonwealth amp Olympic competition He was a 13-time Canadian champion and due to his father being a dual citizen a one-time American champion He was funded by Sport Canada because he was able to maintain his position as one of the top 8 lifters in the world Prior to his involvement in weightlifting Russ was active in other sports He was the 1969 Ontario junior badminton champion and was later offered a foot-ball scholarship to an American college He gravitated to weightlifting and soon gained international standing In 1968 at the age of 18 he set a Canadian record in the clean and jerk He later won gold medals in the 1970 1974 and 1978 British Commonwealth games as well as the British Commonwealth championship in 1980 and gold in the 1975 Pan American games He was the Canadian flag bearer at the 1978 Commonwealth games Russ made the 1972 Olympic team but could not compete due to an injury He won a bronze medal at the 1976 Montreal Olympics setting a record that was broken 3 minutes later by a Bulgarian lifter In 1980 Russ was ranked fourth in the world but could not compete in the Moscow Olympics due to Canadas boycott
Russ balanced weightlifting with academic studies earning degrees from Carlton Queens University University of North Dakota amp University of Manitoba He coached ringette teams that won several Winnipeg and provincial titles and one western Canadian championship During his 31 year tenure as a teacher at Nelson McIntyre Collegiate he guided junior weightlifting teams to 17 Canadian championships and a ninth place finish in the world championships
His proudest achievement Having 3 children who are professionally employed and married with children of their own

Do you need inner peace in your life
I am passing this on to you because it definitely
works and we could all use a little more
calmness in our lives By following simple advice
heard on the Dr Phil show you too can find
inner peace Dr Phil proclaimed The way to
achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you
have started but never finished
So I looked around my house to find all the
things I started and hadnt finished and before
leaving the house this morning I finished off a
bottle of Merlot a bottle of Baileys Irish Cream
a package of Oreos the remainder of my old
Prozac prescription the rest of the cheesecake
some Doritos a box of chocolates and a half
bottle of Captain Morgan
You have no idea how freaking good I feel right
now Happy New Year

GERD ndash Gastroesophageal Reflux
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic digestive disease GERD occurs when stomach acid or occasionally stomach content flows back into your food pipe (esophagus) The backwash (reflux) irritates the lining of your esophagus and causes GERD
Both acid reflux and heartburn are common digestive conditions that many people experience from time to time When these signs and symptoms occur at least twice each week or interfere with your daily life or when your doctor can see damage to your esophagus you may be diagnosed with GERD
Most people can manage the discomfort of GERD with lifestyle changes and over-the-counter medications But some people with GERD may need stronger medications or even surgery to reduce symptoms
GERD signs and symptoms include
bullA burning sensation in your chest (heartburn) sometimes spreading to your throat along with a sour taste in your mouth
bullChest pain
bullDifficulty swallowing (dysphagia)
bullDry cough
bullHoarseness or sore throat
bullRegurgitation of food or sour liquid (acid reflux)
bullSensation of a lump in your throat
When to see a doctor
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience chest pain especially if you have other signs and symptoms such as shortness of breath or jaw or arm pain These may be signs and symptoms of a heart attack
Make an appointment with your doctor if you experience severe or frequent GERD symptoms If you take over-the-counter medications for heartburn more than twice a week see your doctor

and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

HOW I LEARNED TO MIND MY OWN BUSINESS
I was walking past the mental hospital the other day
and all the patients were shouting ldquo131313rdquo
The fence was too high to see over
but I saw a little gap in the planks

What snow has fleas Where
Most of us have never noticed snow
fleas unique little creatures that are
really very common and right under our
noses Heres how to find them
On a warm sunny winter day take a look at the base of a tree where the snow may have melted down to expose some leaves or where the snow is shallow or hollowed out just a bit There youll find a sprinkling of what looks like pepper or ashes on the surface of the snow Each speck you see is a snow flea Once you find them watch closely and see what theyre up to Snow fleas are actually tiny insects which come out on warm sunny days to eat
decayed plant material or sap oozing from the tree They hop around acting like fleas and
thats where they get their
name snow fleas
Theyre not fleas though but
actually an arthropod called
Collembola (kol-LEM-bo-la) or
commonly called springtails
which measure about 18 inch
(2mm) long They have a very
unique catapult system to get
around Two tails on their
back end are tucked up
underneath their belly held
in place by tiny hooks When
the springtail wants to move
they just release the spring-loaded tails called furcula which hit the snow and send them
flying into the air Since snow fleas cant control their flight or direction they frequently
land in the same spot or only a few inches away
These are not just winter critters You can find them any time of year in the forest
living in the leaf litter stuck to the underside of leaves or on the surface of the soil
chomping on bits of rotting vegetation They also live on the surface of ponds Youd have to
look very closely to see them here because they blend in well and are so tiny Next time
youre playing in the snow outside or just going for a stroll take a look and see if you can
spy these incredible spring-loaded springtails commonly called snow fleas

Activities such as snow shoveling or walking through heavy wet snow and snow
drifts can strain the heart enough to cause a heart attack Snow shoveling can be
more strenuous than exercising full throttle on a treadmill Shoveling or pushing a heavy snow
blower can cause a sudden increase in blood pressure and heart rate while the cold weather
causes constriction of the blood vessels leading to a decrease in oxygen to the heart
Together this causes the heart to work harder and can trigger a potentially fatal heart attack
Individuals most at risk include
those with a prior history of heart attack andor heart disease
those with high blood pressure andor high cholesterol
those with a sedentary life style
smokers
Tips to protect your heart and reduce the risk of heart attack
1) Avoid shoveling immediately after waking in the morning as most heart attacks occur in the
early morning when the blood is more prone to clotting Wait at least 30 minutes and warm
up slowly
2) Do not eat a heavy meal before shoveling as the blood supply needed by your muscles gets
Diverted to your stomach
3) Dont smoke or drink coffee for at least one hour before and after shoveling as these
Stimulants elevate both your blood pressure and heart rate
4) Dress warmly in layers which traps air and increases insulation to reduce the risk of
hypothermia Cover your neck and head -- 50 of a personrsquos body heat is lost through
these areas Cover your mouth Deep breathing of cold air can cause angina or trigger
breathing problems
5) Use a small shovel
6) Begin slowly and take frequent breaks
Know the warning signs of a heart attack
Tightness or burning in the chest neck back jaw or arms particularly the left arm
Light headed dizziness nausea shortness of breath and cold sweats
IF YOU THINK YOU ARE HAVING A HEART ATTACK CALL 911 and
take (chew) two 325mg plain aspirin not enteric coated

The image of a weightlifter graced the front of the Wintario lottery ticket The weightlifter was Russ Prior What had he achieved to receive such an honour I was to find out over the next half hour when I visited Russ and his wife Barb on Harmony Lane
Throughout his career Russ has set over 130 weightlifting records in Canadian Pan American British Commonwealth amp Olympic competition He was a 13-time Canadian champion and due to his father being a dual citizen a one-time American champion He was funded by Sport Canada because he was able to maintain his position as one of the top 8 lifters in the world Prior to his involvement in weightlifting Russ was active in other sports He was the 1969 Ontario junior badminton champion and was later offered a foot-ball scholarship to an American college He gravitated to weightlifting and soon gained international standing In 1968 at the age of 18 he set a Canadian record in the clean and jerk He later won gold medals in the 1970 1974 and 1978 British Commonwealth games as well as the British Commonwealth championship in 1980 and gold in the 1975 Pan American games He was the Canadian flag bearer at the 1978 Commonwealth games Russ made the 1972 Olympic team but could not compete due to an injury He won a bronze medal at the 1976 Montreal Olympics setting a record that was broken 3 minutes later by a Bulgarian lifter In 1980 Russ was ranked fourth in the world but could not compete in the Moscow Olympics due to Canadas boycott
Russ balanced weightlifting with academic studies earning degrees from Carlton Queens University University of North Dakota amp University of Manitoba He coached ringette teams that won several Winnipeg and provincial titles and one western Canadian championship During his 31 year tenure as a teacher at Nelson McIntyre Collegiate he guided junior weightlifting teams to 17 Canadian championships and a ninth place finish in the world championships
His proudest achievement Having 3 children who are professionally employed and married with children of their own

Do you need inner peace in your life
I am passing this on to you because it definitely
works and we could all use a little more
calmness in our lives By following simple advice
heard on the Dr Phil show you too can find
inner peace Dr Phil proclaimed The way to
achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you
have started but never finished
So I looked around my house to find all the
things I started and hadnt finished and before
leaving the house this morning I finished off a
bottle of Merlot a bottle of Baileys Irish Cream
a package of Oreos the remainder of my old
Prozac prescription the rest of the cheesecake
some Doritos a box of chocolates and a half
bottle of Captain Morgan
You have no idea how freaking good I feel right
now Happy New Year

GERD ndash Gastroesophageal Reflux
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic digestive disease GERD occurs when stomach acid or occasionally stomach content flows back into your food pipe (esophagus) The backwash (reflux) irritates the lining of your esophagus and causes GERD
Both acid reflux and heartburn are common digestive conditions that many people experience from time to time When these signs and symptoms occur at least twice each week or interfere with your daily life or when your doctor can see damage to your esophagus you may be diagnosed with GERD
Most people can manage the discomfort of GERD with lifestyle changes and over-the-counter medications But some people with GERD may need stronger medications or even surgery to reduce symptoms
GERD signs and symptoms include
bullA burning sensation in your chest (heartburn) sometimes spreading to your throat along with a sour taste in your mouth
bullChest pain
bullDifficulty swallowing (dysphagia)
bullDry cough
bullHoarseness or sore throat
bullRegurgitation of food or sour liquid (acid reflux)
bullSensation of a lump in your throat
When to see a doctor
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience chest pain especially if you have other signs and symptoms such as shortness of breath or jaw or arm pain These may be signs and symptoms of a heart attack
Make an appointment with your doctor if you experience severe or frequent GERD symptoms If you take over-the-counter medications for heartburn more than twice a week see your doctor
A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions
and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

HOW I LEARNED TO MIND MY OWN BUSINESS
I was walking past the mental hospital the other day
and all the patients were shouting ldquo131313rdquo
The fence was too high to see over
but I saw a little gap in the planks
so I looked through to see what was going on
Some idiot poked me in the eye with a stick
then they all started shouting ldquo141414rdquo

What snow has fleas Where
Most of us have never noticed snow
fleas unique little creatures that are
really very common and right under our
noses Heres how to find them
On a warm sunny winter day take a look at the base of a tree where the snow may have melted down to expose some leaves or where the snow is shallow or hollowed out just a bit There youll find a sprinkling of what looks like pepper or ashes on the surface of the snow Each speck you see is a snow flea Once you find them watch closely and see what theyre up to Snow fleas are actually tiny insects which come out on warm sunny days to eat
decayed plant material or sap oozing from the tree They hop around acting like fleas and
thats where they get their
name snow fleas
Theyre not fleas though but
actually an arthropod called
Collembola (kol-LEM-bo-la) or
commonly called springtails
which measure about 18 inch
(2mm) long They have a very
unique catapult system to get
around Two tails on their
back end are tucked up
underneath their belly held
in place by tiny hooks When
the springtail wants to move
they just release the spring-loaded tails called furcula which hit the snow and send them
flying into the air Since snow fleas cant control their flight or direction they frequently
land in the same spot or only a few inches away
These are not just winter critters You can find them any time of year in the forest
living in the leaf litter stuck to the underside of leaves or on the surface of the soil
chomping on bits of rotting vegetation They also live on the surface of ponds Youd have to
look very closely to see them here because they blend in well and are so tiny Next time
youre playing in the snow outside or just going for a stroll take a look and see if you can
spy these incredible spring-loaded springtails commonly called snow fleas

Activities such as snow shoveling or walking through heavy wet snow and snow
drifts can strain the heart enough to cause a heart attack Snow shoveling can be
more strenuous than exercising full throttle on a treadmill Shoveling or pushing a heavy snow
blower can cause a sudden increase in blood pressure and heart rate while the cold weather
causes constriction of the blood vessels leading to a decrease in oxygen to the heart
Together this causes the heart to work harder and can trigger a potentially fatal heart attack
Individuals most at risk include
those with a prior history of heart attack andor heart disease
those with high blood pressure andor high cholesterol
those with a sedentary life style
smokers
Tips to protect your heart and reduce the risk of heart attack
1) Avoid shoveling immediately after waking in the morning as most heart attacks occur in the
early morning when the blood is more prone to clotting Wait at least 30 minutes and warm
up slowly
2) Do not eat a heavy meal before shoveling as the blood supply needed by your muscles gets
Diverted to your stomach
3) Dont smoke or drink coffee for at least one hour before and after shoveling as these
Stimulants elevate both your blood pressure and heart rate
4) Dress warmly in layers which traps air and increases insulation to reduce the risk of
hypothermia Cover your neck and head -- 50 of a personrsquos body heat is lost through
these areas Cover your mouth Deep breathing of cold air can cause angina or trigger
breathing problems
5) Use a small shovel
6) Begin slowly and take frequent breaks
Know the warning signs of a heart attack
Tightness or burning in the chest neck back jaw or arms particularly the left arm
Light headed dizziness nausea shortness of breath and cold sweats
IF YOU THINK YOU ARE HAVING A HEART ATTACK CALL 911 and
take (chew) two 325mg plain aspirin not enteric coated

The image of a weightlifter graced the front of the Wintario lottery ticket The weightlifter was Russ Prior What had he achieved to receive such an honour I was to find out over the next half hour when I visited Russ and his wife Barb on Harmony Lane
Throughout his career Russ has set over 130 weightlifting records in Canadian Pan American British Commonwealth amp Olympic competition He was a 13-time Canadian champion and due to his father being a dual citizen a one-time American champion He was funded by Sport Canada because he was able to maintain his position as one of the top 8 lifters in the world Prior to his involvement in weightlifting Russ was active in other sports He was the 1969 Ontario junior badminton champion and was later offered a foot-ball scholarship to an American college He gravitated to weightlifting and soon gained international standing In 1968 at the age of 18 he set a Canadian record in the clean and jerk He later won gold medals in the 1970 1974 and 1978 British Commonwealth games as well as the British Commonwealth championship in 1980 and gold in the 1975 Pan American games He was the Canadian flag bearer at the 1978 Commonwealth games Russ made the 1972 Olympic team but could not compete due to an injury He won a bronze medal at the 1976 Montreal Olympics setting a record that was broken 3 minutes later by a Bulgarian lifter In 1980 Russ was ranked fourth in the world but could not compete in the Moscow Olympics due to Canadas boycott
Russ balanced weightlifting with academic studies earning degrees from Carlton Queens University University of North Dakota amp University of Manitoba He coached ringette teams that won several Winnipeg and provincial titles and one western Canadian championship During his 31 year tenure as a teacher at Nelson McIntyre Collegiate he guided junior weightlifting teams to 17 Canadian championships and a ninth place finish in the world championships
His proudest achievement Having 3 children who are professionally employed and married with children of their own

Do you need inner peace in your life
I am passing this on to you because it definitely
works and we could all use a little more
calmness in our lives By following simple advice
heard on the Dr Phil show you too can find
inner peace Dr Phil proclaimed The way to
achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you
have started but never finished
So I looked around my house to find all the
things I started and hadnt finished and before
leaving the house this morning I finished off a
bottle of Merlot a bottle of Baileys Irish Cream
a package of Oreos the remainder of my old
Prozac prescription the rest of the cheesecake
some Doritos a box of chocolates and a half
bottle of Captain Morgan
You have no idea how freaking good I feel right
now Happy New Year

GERD ndash Gastroesophageal Reflux
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic digestive disease GERD occurs when stomach acid or occasionally stomach content flows back into your food pipe (esophagus) The backwash (reflux) irritates the lining of your esophagus and causes GERD
Both acid reflux and heartburn are common digestive conditions that many people experience from time to time When these signs and symptoms occur at least twice each week or interfere with your daily life or when your doctor can see damage to your esophagus you may be diagnosed with GERD
Most people can manage the discomfort of GERD with lifestyle changes and over-the-counter medications But some people with GERD may need stronger medications or even surgery to reduce symptoms
GERD signs and symptoms include
bullA burning sensation in your chest (heartburn) sometimes spreading to your throat along with a sour taste in your mouth
bullChest pain
bullDifficulty swallowing (dysphagia)
bullDry cough
bullHoarseness or sore throat
bullRegurgitation of food or sour liquid (acid reflux)
bullSensation of a lump in your throat
When to see a doctor
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience chest pain especially if you have other signs and symptoms such as shortness of breath or jaw or arm pain These may be signs and symptoms of a heart attack
Make an appointment with your doctor if you experience severe or frequent GERD symptoms If you take over-the-counter medications for heartburn more than twice a week see your doctor
A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions
and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

HOW I LEARNED TO MIND MY OWN BUSINESS
I was walking past the mental hospital the other day
and all the patients were shouting ldquo131313rdquo
The fence was too high to see over
but I saw a little gap in the planks
so I looked through to see what was going on
Some idiot poked me in the eye with a stick
then they all started shouting ldquo141414rdquo

What snow has fleas Where
Most of us have never noticed snow
fleas unique little creatures that are
really very common and right under our
noses Heres how to find them
On a warm sunny winter day take a look at the base of a tree where the snow may have melted down to expose some leaves or where the snow is shallow or hollowed out just a bit There youll find a sprinkling of what looks like pepper or ashes on the surface of the snow Each speck you see is a snow flea Once you find them watch closely and see what theyre up to Snow fleas are actually tiny insects which come out on warm sunny days to eat
decayed plant material or sap oozing from the tree They hop around acting like fleas and
thats where they get their
name snow fleas
Theyre not fleas though but
actually an arthropod called
Collembola (kol-LEM-bo-la) or
commonly called springtails
which measure about 18 inch
(2mm) long They have a very
unique catapult system to get
around Two tails on their
back end are tucked up
underneath their belly held
in place by tiny hooks When
the springtail wants to move
they just release the spring-loaded tails called furcula which hit the snow and send them
flying into the air Since snow fleas cant control their flight or direction they frequently
land in the same spot or only a few inches away
These are not just winter critters You can find them any time of year in the forest
living in the leaf litter stuck to the underside of leaves or on the surface of the soil
chomping on bits of rotting vegetation They also live on the surface of ponds Youd have to
look very closely to see them here because they blend in well and are so tiny Next time
youre playing in the snow outside or just going for a stroll take a look and see if you can
spy these incredible spring-loaded springtails commonly called snow fleas

Activities such as snow shoveling or walking through heavy wet snow and snow
drifts can strain the heart enough to cause a heart attack Snow shoveling can be
more strenuous than exercising full throttle on a treadmill Shoveling or pushing a heavy snow
blower can cause a sudden increase in blood pressure and heart rate while the cold weather
causes constriction of the blood vessels leading to a decrease in oxygen to the heart
Together this causes the heart to work harder and can trigger a potentially fatal heart attack
Individuals most at risk include
those with a prior history of heart attack andor heart disease
those with high blood pressure andor high cholesterol
those with a sedentary life style
smokers
Tips to protect your heart and reduce the risk of heart attack
1) Avoid shoveling immediately after waking in the morning as most heart attacks occur in the
early morning when the blood is more prone to clotting Wait at least 30 minutes and warm
up slowly
2) Do not eat a heavy meal before shoveling as the blood supply needed by your muscles gets
Diverted to your stomach
3) Dont smoke or drink coffee for at least one hour before and after shoveling as these
Stimulants elevate both your blood pressure and heart rate
4) Dress warmly in layers which traps air and increases insulation to reduce the risk of
hypothermia Cover your neck and head -- 50 of a personrsquos body heat is lost through
these areas Cover your mouth Deep breathing of cold air can cause angina or trigger
breathing problems
5) Use a small shovel
6) Begin slowly and take frequent breaks
Know the warning signs of a heart attack
Tightness or burning in the chest neck back jaw or arms particularly the left arm
Light headed dizziness nausea shortness of breath and cold sweats
IF YOU THINK YOU ARE HAVING A HEART ATTACK CALL 911 and
take (chew) two 325mg plain aspirin not enteric coated

The image of a weightlifter graced the front of the Wintario lottery ticket The weightlifter was Russ Prior What had he achieved to receive such an honour I was to find out over the next half hour when I visited Russ and his wife Barb on Harmony Lane
Throughout his career Russ has set over 130 weightlifting records in Canadian Pan American British Commonwealth amp Olympic competition He was a 13-time Canadian champion and due to his father being a dual citizen a one-time American champion He was funded by Sport Canada because he was able to maintain his position as one of the top 8 lifters in the world Prior to his involvement in weightlifting Russ was active in other sports He was the 1969 Ontario junior badminton champion and was later offered a foot-ball scholarship to an American college He gravitated to weightlifting and soon gained international standing In 1968 at the age of 18 he set a Canadian record in the clean and jerk He later won gold medals in the 1970 1974 and 1978 British Commonwealth games as well as the British Commonwealth championship in 1980 and gold in the 1975 Pan American games He was the Canadian flag bearer at the 1978 Commonwealth games Russ made the 1972 Olympic team but could not compete due to an injury He won a bronze medal at the 1976 Montreal Olympics setting a record that was broken 3 minutes later by a Bulgarian lifter In 1980 Russ was ranked fourth in the world but could not compete in the Moscow Olympics due to Canadas boycott
Russ balanced weightlifting with academic studies earning degrees from Carlton Queens University University of North Dakota amp University of Manitoba He coached ringette teams that won several Winnipeg and provincial titles and one western Canadian championship During his 31 year tenure as a teacher at Nelson McIntyre Collegiate he guided junior weightlifting teams to 17 Canadian championships and a ninth place finish in the world championships
His proudest achievement Having 3 children who are professionally employed and married with children of their own

Christmas Basket Drive 2014
Whether the weather be foggy or cold the spirit of Christmas is in the air It is heart warming to see the support that continues to surround us The Richer Friends Who Care and Paradise Village Fellowship Christian Church committee coordinated the annual Christmas Basket drive for Richer and rural area
With Santas helpers and your generosity we were able to distribute 20 baskets to needy families this Christmas season A total of 27 children will enjoy Santas gifts of fuzzy PJS and socks that were chosen by Mrs Clause and warm toques mitts and scarves that were knitted by delightful grandmas
We wish to extend our sincere appreciation to the PVRA committee and residents the RM of Ste Anne businesses and individuals for their monetary donations
Thank you to the Richer Fellowship Church Richer School and individuals for their non perishable food drive
Thanks goes out to Doreen Pchajek for organizing a fundraiser during the last six weeks on Bingo nights Dr Hein dental office for hygiene pacs and your support for a successful Christmas Basket drive
We would like to especially thank the following people for sharing their resources time and talent
Special thanks to Anna our knitter of toques mitts and scarves for the Richer school children
Thanks to Mary Kehler for the beautiful knitted toques and scarves for the baskets
Thanks to Sandra Hebert for shopping for all the children s gifts and Rachelle Laurin and Terri
McKerchar who wrapped and distributed them in time for the special day
Santas helpers are co-chair Heather Burnell John amp Anna Praymayer Jim amp Terri McKerchar Keith amp Susan McEwen George amp Rachelle Laurin Nick amp Joyce Spewak Hazel Paquette Pauline Fontaine Sandy Hebert plus we also received a visit from Pastor Stan and Mary Kehler
These are the people who physically spent the last two months making the basket drive happen but without the continued support of the people in the community it would not be possible
Thanks for the delightful lunch shared by all and prepared by the ladies of Paradise Village Christian Church committee
Our sincere and heartfelt thanks to all
We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Do you need inner peace in your life
I am passing this on to you because it definitely
works and we could all use a little more
calmness in our lives By following simple advice
heard on the Dr Phil show you too can find
inner peace Dr Phil proclaimed The way to
achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you
have started but never finished
So I looked around my house to find all the
things I started and hadnt finished and before
leaving the house this morning I finished off a
bottle of Merlot a bottle of Baileys Irish Cream
a package of Oreos the remainder of my old
Prozac prescription the rest of the cheesecake
some Doritos a box of chocolates and a half
bottle of Captain Morgan
You have no idea how freaking good I feel right
now Happy New Year

GERD ndash Gastroesophageal Reflux
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic digestive disease GERD occurs when stomach acid or occasionally stomach content flows back into your food pipe (esophagus) The backwash (reflux) irritates the lining of your esophagus and causes GERD
Both acid reflux and heartburn are common digestive conditions that many people experience from time to time When these signs and symptoms occur at least twice each week or interfere with your daily life or when your doctor can see damage to your esophagus you may be diagnosed with GERD
Most people can manage the discomfort of GERD with lifestyle changes and over-the-counter medications But some people with GERD may need stronger medications or even surgery to reduce symptoms
GERD signs and symptoms include
bullA burning sensation in your chest (heartburn) sometimes spreading to your throat along with a sour taste in your mouth
bullChest pain
bullDifficulty swallowing (dysphagia)
bullDry cough
bullHoarseness or sore throat
bullRegurgitation of food or sour liquid (acid reflux)
bullSensation of a lump in your throat
When to see a doctor
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience chest pain especially if you have other signs and symptoms such as shortness of breath or jaw or arm pain These may be signs and symptoms of a heart attack
Make an appointment with your doctor if you experience severe or frequent GERD symptoms If you take over-the-counter medications for heartburn more than twice a week see your doctor
A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions
and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

HOW I LEARNED TO MIND MY OWN BUSINESS
I was walking past the mental hospital the other day
and all the patients were shouting ldquo131313rdquo
The fence was too high to see over
but I saw a little gap in the planks
so I looked through to see what was going on
Some idiot poked me in the eye with a stick
then they all started shouting ldquo141414rdquo

What snow has fleas Where
Most of us have never noticed snow
fleas unique little creatures that are
really very common and right under our
noses Heres how to find them
On a warm sunny winter day take a look at the base of a tree where the snow may have melted down to expose some leaves or where the snow is shallow or hollowed out just a bit There youll find a sprinkling of what looks like pepper or ashes on the surface of the snow Each speck you see is a snow flea Once you find them watch closely and see what theyre up to Snow fleas are actually tiny insects which come out on warm sunny days to eat
decayed plant material or sap oozing from the tree They hop around acting like fleas and
thats where they get their
name snow fleas
Theyre not fleas though but
actually an arthropod called
Collembola (kol-LEM-bo-la) or
commonly called springtails
which measure about 18 inch
(2mm) long They have a very
unique catapult system to get
around Two tails on their
back end are tucked up
underneath their belly held
in place by tiny hooks When
the springtail wants to move
they just release the spring-loaded tails called furcula which hit the snow and send them
flying into the air Since snow fleas cant control their flight or direction they frequently
land in the same spot or only a few inches away
These are not just winter critters You can find them any time of year in the forest
living in the leaf litter stuck to the underside of leaves or on the surface of the soil
chomping on bits of rotting vegetation They also live on the surface of ponds Youd have to
look very closely to see them here because they blend in well and are so tiny Next time
youre playing in the snow outside or just going for a stroll take a look and see if you can
spy these incredible spring-loaded springtails commonly called snow fleas

Activities such as snow shoveling or walking through heavy wet snow and snow
drifts can strain the heart enough to cause a heart attack Snow shoveling can be
more strenuous than exercising full throttle on a treadmill Shoveling or pushing a heavy snow
blower can cause a sudden increase in blood pressure and heart rate while the cold weather
causes constriction of the blood vessels leading to a decrease in oxygen to the heart
Together this causes the heart to work harder and can trigger a potentially fatal heart attack
Individuals most at risk include
those with a prior history of heart attack andor heart disease
those with high blood pressure andor high cholesterol
those with a sedentary life style
smokers
Tips to protect your heart and reduce the risk of heart attack
1) Avoid shoveling immediately after waking in the morning as most heart attacks occur in the
early morning when the blood is more prone to clotting Wait at least 30 minutes and warm
up slowly
2) Do not eat a heavy meal before shoveling as the blood supply needed by your muscles gets
Diverted to your stomach
3) Dont smoke or drink coffee for at least one hour before and after shoveling as these
Stimulants elevate both your blood pressure and heart rate
4) Dress warmly in layers which traps air and increases insulation to reduce the risk of
hypothermia Cover your neck and head -- 50 of a personrsquos body heat is lost through
these areas Cover your mouth Deep breathing of cold air can cause angina or trigger
breathing problems
5) Use a small shovel
6) Begin slowly and take frequent breaks
Know the warning signs of a heart attack
Tightness or burning in the chest neck back jaw or arms particularly the left arm
Light headed dizziness nausea shortness of breath and cold sweats
IF YOU THINK YOU ARE HAVING A HEART ATTACK CALL 911 and
take (chew) two 325mg plain aspirin not enteric coated

The image of a weightlifter graced the front of the Wintario lottery ticket The weightlifter was Russ Prior What had he achieved to receive such an honour I was to find out over the next half hour when I visited Russ and his wife Barb on Harmony Lane
Throughout his career Russ has set over 130 weightlifting records in Canadian Pan American British Commonwealth amp Olympic competition He was a 13-time Canadian champion and due to his father being a dual citizen a one-time American champion He was funded by Sport Canada because he was able to maintain his position as one of the top 8 lifters in the world Prior to his involvement in weightlifting Russ was active in other sports He was the 1969 Ontario junior badminton champion and was later offered a foot-ball scholarship to an American college He gravitated to weightlifting and soon gained international standing In 1968 at the age of 18 he set a Canadian record in the clean and jerk He later won gold medals in the 1970 1974 and 1978 British Commonwealth games as well as the British Commonwealth championship in 1980 and gold in the 1975 Pan American games He was the Canadian flag bearer at the 1978 Commonwealth games Russ made the 1972 Olympic team but could not compete due to an injury He won a bronze medal at the 1976 Montreal Olympics setting a record that was broken 3 minutes later by a Bulgarian lifter In 1980 Russ was ranked fourth in the world but could not compete in the Moscow Olympics due to Canadas boycott
Russ balanced weightlifting with academic studies earning degrees from Carlton Queens University University of North Dakota amp University of Manitoba He coached ringette teams that won several Winnipeg and provincial titles and one western Canadian championship During his 31 year tenure as a teacher at Nelson McIntyre Collegiate he guided junior weightlifting teams to 17 Canadian championships and a ninth place finish in the world championships
His proudest achievement Having 3 children who are professionally employed and married with children of their own

Do you need inner peace in your life
I am passing this on to you because it definitely
works and we could all use a little more
calmness in our lives By following simple advice
heard on the Dr Phil show you too can find
inner peace Dr Phil proclaimed The way to
achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you
have started but never finished
So I looked around my house to find all the
things I started and hadnt finished and before
leaving the house this morning I finished off a
bottle of Merlot a bottle of Baileys Irish Cream
a package of Oreos the remainder of my old
Prozac prescription the rest of the cheesecake
some Doritos a box of chocolates and a half
bottle of Captain Morgan
You have no idea how freaking good I feel right
now Happy New Year

GERD ndash Gastroesophageal Reflux
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic digestive disease GERD occurs when stomach acid or occasionally stomach content flows back into your food pipe (esophagus) The backwash (reflux) irritates the lining of your esophagus and causes GERD
Both acid reflux and heartburn are common digestive conditions that many people experience from time to time When these signs and symptoms occur at least twice each week or interfere with your daily life or when your doctor can see damage to your esophagus you may be diagnosed with GERD
Most people can manage the discomfort of GERD with lifestyle changes and over-the-counter medications But some people with GERD may need stronger medications or even surgery to reduce symptoms
GERD signs and symptoms include
bullA burning sensation in your chest (heartburn) sometimes spreading to your throat along with a sour taste in your mouth
bullChest pain
bullDifficulty swallowing (dysphagia)
bullDry cough
bullHoarseness or sore throat
bullRegurgitation of food or sour liquid (acid reflux)
bullSensation of a lump in your throat
When to see a doctor
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience chest pain especially if you have other signs and symptoms such as shortness of breath or jaw or arm pain These may be signs and symptoms of a heart attack
Make an appointment with your doctor if you experience severe or frequent GERD symptoms If you take over-the-counter medications for heartburn more than twice a week see your doctor
A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions
and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

HOW I LEARNED TO MIND MY OWN BUSINESS
I was walking past the mental hospital the other day
and all the patients were shouting ldquo131313rdquo
The fence was too high to see over
but I saw a little gap in the planks
so I looked through to see what was going on
Some idiot poked me in the eye with a stick
then they all started shouting ldquo141414rdquo

What snow has fleas Where
Most of us have never noticed snow
fleas unique little creatures that are
really very common and right under our
noses Heres how to find them
On a warm sunny winter day take a look at the base of a tree where the snow may have melted down to expose some leaves or where the snow is shallow or hollowed out just a bit There youll find a sprinkling of what looks like pepper or ashes on the surface of the snow Each speck you see is a snow flea Once you find them watch closely and see what theyre up to Snow fleas are actually tiny insects which come out on warm sunny days to eat
decayed plant material or sap oozing from the tree They hop around acting like fleas and
thats where they get their
name snow fleas
Theyre not fleas though but
actually an arthropod called
Collembola (kol-LEM-bo-la) or
commonly called springtails
which measure about 18 inch
(2mm) long They have a very
unique catapult system to get
around Two tails on their
back end are tucked up
underneath their belly held
in place by tiny hooks When
the springtail wants to move
they just release the spring-loaded tails called furcula which hit the snow and send them
flying into the air Since snow fleas cant control their flight or direction they frequently
land in the same spot or only a few inches away
These are not just winter critters You can find them any time of year in the forest
living in the leaf litter stuck to the underside of leaves or on the surface of the soil
chomping on bits of rotting vegetation They also live on the surface of ponds Youd have to
look very closely to see them here because they blend in well and are so tiny Next time
youre playing in the snow outside or just going for a stroll take a look and see if you can
spy these incredible spring-loaded springtails commonly called snow fleas

Activities such as snow shoveling or walking through heavy wet snow and snow
drifts can strain the heart enough to cause a heart attack Snow shoveling can be
more strenuous than exercising full throttle on a treadmill Shoveling or pushing a heavy snow
blower can cause a sudden increase in blood pressure and heart rate while the cold weather
causes constriction of the blood vessels leading to a decrease in oxygen to the heart
Together this causes the heart to work harder and can trigger a potentially fatal heart attack
Individuals most at risk include
those with a prior history of heart attack andor heart disease
those with high blood pressure andor high cholesterol
those with a sedentary life style
smokers
Tips to protect your heart and reduce the risk of heart attack
1) Avoid shoveling immediately after waking in the morning as most heart attacks occur in the
early morning when the blood is more prone to clotting Wait at least 30 minutes and warm
up slowly
2) Do not eat a heavy meal before shoveling as the blood supply needed by your muscles gets
Diverted to your stomach
3) Dont smoke or drink coffee for at least one hour before and after shoveling as these
Stimulants elevate both your blood pressure and heart rate
4) Dress warmly in layers which traps air and increases insulation to reduce the risk of
hypothermia Cover your neck and head -- 50 of a personrsquos body heat is lost through
these areas Cover your mouth Deep breathing of cold air can cause angina or trigger
breathing problems
5) Use a small shovel
6) Begin slowly and take frequent breaks
Know the warning signs of a heart attack
Tightness or burning in the chest neck back jaw or arms particularly the left arm
Light headed dizziness nausea shortness of breath and cold sweats
IF YOU THINK YOU ARE HAVING A HEART ATTACK CALL 911 and
take (chew) two 325mg plain aspirin not enteric coated

The image of a weightlifter graced the front of the Wintario lottery ticket The weightlifter was Russ Prior What had he achieved to receive such an honour I was to find out over the next half hour when I visited Russ and his wife Barb on Harmony Lane
Throughout his career Russ has set over 130 weightlifting records in Canadian Pan American British Commonwealth amp Olympic competition He was a 13-time Canadian champion and due to his father being a dual citizen a one-time American champion He was funded by Sport Canada because he was able to maintain his position as one of the top 8 lifters in the world Prior to his involvement in weightlifting Russ was active in other sports He was the 1969 Ontario junior badminton champion and was later offered a foot-ball scholarship to an American college He gravitated to weightlifting and soon gained international standing In 1968 at the age of 18 he set a Canadian record in the clean and jerk He later won gold medals in the 1970 1974 and 1978 British Commonwealth games as well as the British Commonwealth championship in 1980 and gold in the 1975 Pan American games He was the Canadian flag bearer at the 1978 Commonwealth games Russ made the 1972 Olympic team but could not compete due to an injury He won a bronze medal at the 1976 Montreal Olympics setting a record that was broken 3 minutes later by a Bulgarian lifter In 1980 Russ was ranked fourth in the world but could not compete in the Moscow Olympics due to Canadas boycott
Russ balanced weightlifting with academic studies earning degrees from Carlton Queens University University of North Dakota amp University of Manitoba He coached ringette teams that won several Winnipeg and provincial titles and one western Canadian championship During his 31 year tenure as a teacher at Nelson McIntyre Collegiate he guided junior weightlifting teams to 17 Canadian championships and a ninth place finish in the world championships
His proudest achievement Having 3 children who are professionally employed and married with children of their own

Do you need inner peace in your life
I am passing this on to you because it definitely
works and we could all use a little more
calmness in our lives By following simple advice
heard on the Dr Phil show you too can find
inner peace Dr Phil proclaimed The way to
achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you
have started but never finished
So I looked around my house to find all the
things I started and hadnt finished and before
leaving the house this morning I finished off a
bottle of Merlot a bottle of Baileys Irish Cream
a package of Oreos the remainder of my old
Prozac prescription the rest of the cheesecake
some Doritos a box of chocolates and a half
bottle of Captain Morgan
You have no idea how freaking good I feel right
now Happy New Year

GERD ndash Gastroesophageal Reflux
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic digestive disease GERD occurs when stomach acid or occasionally stomach content flows back into your food pipe (esophagus) The backwash (reflux) irritates the lining of your esophagus and causes GERD
Both acid reflux and heartburn are common digestive conditions that many people experience from time to time When these signs and symptoms occur at least twice each week or interfere with your daily life or when your doctor can see damage to your esophagus you may be diagnosed with GERD
Most people can manage the discomfort of GERD with lifestyle changes and over-the-counter medications But some people with GERD may need stronger medications or even surgery to reduce symptoms
GERD signs and symptoms include
bullA burning sensation in your chest (heartburn) sometimes spreading to your throat along with a sour taste in your mouth
bullChest pain
bullDifficulty swallowing (dysphagia)
bullDry cough
bullHoarseness or sore throat
bullRegurgitation of food or sour liquid (acid reflux)
bullSensation of a lump in your throat
When to see a doctor
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience chest pain especially if you have other signs and symptoms such as shortness of breath or jaw or arm pain These may be signs and symptoms of a heart attack
Make an appointment with your doctor if you experience severe or frequent GERD symptoms If you take over-the-counter medications for heartburn more than twice a week see your doctor
A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions
and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

HOW I LEARNED TO MIND MY OWN BUSINESS
I was walking past the mental hospital the other day
and all the patients were shouting ldquo131313rdquo
The fence was too high to see over
but I saw a little gap in the planks
so I looked through to see what was going on
Some idiot poked me in the eye with a stick
then they all started shouting ldquo141414rdquo

What snow has fleas Where
Most of us have never noticed snow
fleas unique little creatures that are
really very common and right under our
noses Heres how to find them
On a warm sunny winter day take a look at the base of a tree where the snow may have melted down to expose some leaves or where the snow is shallow or hollowed out just a bit There youll find a sprinkling of what looks like pepper or ashes on the surface of the snow Each speck you see is a snow flea Once you find them watch closely and see what theyre up to Snow fleas are actually tiny insects which come out on warm sunny days to eat
decayed plant material or sap oozing from the tree They hop around acting like fleas and
thats where they get their
name snow fleas
Theyre not fleas though but
actually an arthropod called
Collembola (kol-LEM-bo-la) or
commonly called springtails
which measure about 18 inch
(2mm) long They have a very
unique catapult system to get
around Two tails on their
back end are tucked up
underneath their belly held
in place by tiny hooks When
the springtail wants to move
they just release the spring-loaded tails called furcula which hit the snow and send them
flying into the air Since snow fleas cant control their flight or direction they frequently
land in the same spot or only a few inches away
These are not just winter critters You can find them any time of year in the forest
living in the leaf litter stuck to the underside of leaves or on the surface of the soil
chomping on bits of rotting vegetation They also live on the surface of ponds Youd have to
look very closely to see them here because they blend in well and are so tiny Next time
youre playing in the snow outside or just going for a stroll take a look and see if you can
spy these incredible spring-loaded springtails commonly called snow fleas

Activities such as snow shoveling or walking through heavy wet snow and snow
drifts can strain the heart enough to cause a heart attack Snow shoveling can be
more strenuous than exercising full throttle on a treadmill Shoveling or pushing a heavy snow
blower can cause a sudden increase in blood pressure and heart rate while the cold weather
causes constriction of the blood vessels leading to a decrease in oxygen to the heart
Together this causes the heart to work harder and can trigger a potentially fatal heart attack
Individuals most at risk include
those with a prior history of heart attack andor heart disease
those with high blood pressure andor high cholesterol
those with a sedentary life style
smokers
Tips to protect your heart and reduce the risk of heart attack
1) Avoid shoveling immediately after waking in the morning as most heart attacks occur in the
early morning when the blood is more prone to clotting Wait at least 30 minutes and warm
up slowly
2) Do not eat a heavy meal before shoveling as the blood supply needed by your muscles gets
Diverted to your stomach
3) Dont smoke or drink coffee for at least one hour before and after shoveling as these
Stimulants elevate both your blood pressure and heart rate
4) Dress warmly in layers which traps air and increases insulation to reduce the risk of
hypothermia Cover your neck and head -- 50 of a personrsquos body heat is lost through
these areas Cover your mouth Deep breathing of cold air can cause angina or trigger
breathing problems
5) Use a small shovel
6) Begin slowly and take frequent breaks
Know the warning signs of a heart attack
Tightness or burning in the chest neck back jaw or arms particularly the left arm
Light headed dizziness nausea shortness of breath and cold sweats
IF YOU THINK YOU ARE HAVING A HEART ATTACK CALL 911 and
take (chew) two 325mg plain aspirin not enteric coated

The image of a weightlifter graced the front of the Wintario lottery ticket The weightlifter was Russ Prior What had he achieved to receive such an honour I was to find out over the next half hour when I visited Russ and his wife Barb on Harmony Lane
Throughout his career Russ has set over 130 weightlifting records in Canadian Pan American British Commonwealth amp Olympic competition He was a 13-time Canadian champion and due to his father being a dual citizen a one-time American champion He was funded by Sport Canada because he was able to maintain his position as one of the top 8 lifters in the world Prior to his involvement in weightlifting Russ was active in other sports He was the 1969 Ontario junior badminton champion and was later offered a foot-ball scholarship to an American college He gravitated to weightlifting and soon gained international standing In 1968 at the age of 18 he set a Canadian record in the clean and jerk He later won gold medals in the 1970 1974 and 1978 British Commonwealth games as well as the British Commonwealth championship in 1980 and gold in the 1975 Pan American games He was the Canadian flag bearer at the 1978 Commonwealth games Russ made the 1972 Olympic team but could not compete due to an injury He won a bronze medal at the 1976 Montreal Olympics setting a record that was broken 3 minutes later by a Bulgarian lifter In 1980 Russ was ranked fourth in the world but could not compete in the Moscow Olympics due to Canadas boycott
Russ balanced weightlifting with academic studies earning degrees from Carlton Queens University University of North Dakota amp University of Manitoba He coached ringette teams that won several Winnipeg and provincial titles and one western Canadian championship During his 31 year tenure as a teacher at Nelson McIntyre Collegiate he guided junior weightlifting teams to 17 Canadian championships and a ninth place finish in the world championships
His proudest achievement Having 3 children who are professionally employed and married with children of their own

Do you need inner peace in your life
I am passing this on to you because it definitely
works and we could all use a little more
calmness in our lives By following simple advice
heard on the Dr Phil show you too can find
inner peace Dr Phil proclaimed The way to
achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you
have started but never finished
So I looked around my house to find all the
things I started and hadnt finished and before
leaving the house this morning I finished off a
bottle of Merlot a bottle of Baileys Irish Cream
a package of Oreos the remainder of my old
Prozac prescription the rest of the cheesecake
some Doritos a box of chocolates and a half
bottle of Captain Morgan
You have no idea how freaking good I feel right
now Happy New Year

GERD ndash Gastroesophageal Reflux
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic digestive disease GERD occurs when stomach acid or occasionally stomach content flows back into your food pipe (esophagus) The backwash (reflux) irritates the lining of your esophagus and causes GERD
Both acid reflux and heartburn are common digestive conditions that many people experience from time to time When these signs and symptoms occur at least twice each week or interfere with your daily life or when your doctor can see damage to your esophagus you may be diagnosed with GERD
Most people can manage the discomfort of GERD with lifestyle changes and over-the-counter medications But some people with GERD may need stronger medications or even surgery to reduce symptoms
GERD signs and symptoms include
bullA burning sensation in your chest (heartburn) sometimes spreading to your throat along with a sour taste in your mouth
bullChest pain
bullDifficulty swallowing (dysphagia)
bullDry cough
bullHoarseness or sore throat
bullRegurgitation of food or sour liquid (acid reflux)
bullSensation of a lump in your throat
When to see a doctor
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience chest pain especially if you have other signs and symptoms such as shortness of breath or jaw or arm pain These may be signs and symptoms of a heart attack
Make an appointment with your doctor if you experience severe or frequent GERD symptoms If you take over-the-counter medications for heartburn more than twice a week see your doctor
A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions
and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

HOW I LEARNED TO MIND MY OWN BUSINESS
I was walking past the mental hospital the other day
and all the patients were shouting ldquo131313rdquo
The fence was too high to see over
but I saw a little gap in the planks
so I looked through to see what was going on
Some idiot poked me in the eye with a stick
then they all started shouting ldquo141414rdquo

What snow has fleas Where
Most of us have never noticed snow
fleas unique little creatures that are
really very common and right under our
noses Heres how to find them
On a warm sunny winter day take a look at the base of a tree where the snow may have melted down to expose some leaves or where the snow is shallow or hollowed out just a bit There youll find a sprinkling of what looks like pepper or ashes on the surface of the snow Each speck you see is a snow flea Once you find them watch closely and see what theyre up to Snow fleas are actually tiny insects which come out on warm sunny days to eat
decayed plant material or sap oozing from the tree They hop around acting like fleas and
thats where they get their
name snow fleas
Theyre not fleas though but
actually an arthropod called
Collembola (kol-LEM-bo-la) or
commonly called springtails
which measure about 18 inch
(2mm) long They have a very
unique catapult system to get
around Two tails on their
back end are tucked up
underneath their belly held
in place by tiny hooks When
the springtail wants to move
they just release the spring-loaded tails called furcula which hit the snow and send them
flying into the air Since snow fleas cant control their flight or direction they frequently
land in the same spot or only a few inches away
These are not just winter critters You can find them any time of year in the forest
living in the leaf litter stuck to the underside of leaves or on the surface of the soil
chomping on bits of rotting vegetation They also live on the surface of ponds Youd have to
look very closely to see them here because they blend in well and are so tiny Next time
youre playing in the snow outside or just going for a stroll take a look and see if you can
spy these incredible spring-loaded springtails commonly called snow fleas

Activities such as snow shoveling or walking through heavy wet snow and snow
drifts can strain the heart enough to cause a heart attack Snow shoveling can be
more strenuous than exercising full throttle on a treadmill Shoveling or pushing a heavy snow
blower can cause a sudden increase in blood pressure and heart rate while the cold weather
causes constriction of the blood vessels leading to a decrease in oxygen to the heart
Together this causes the heart to work harder and can trigger a potentially fatal heart attack
Individuals most at risk include
those with a prior history of heart attack andor heart disease
those with high blood pressure andor high cholesterol
those with a sedentary life style
smokers
Tips to protect your heart and reduce the risk of heart attack
1) Avoid shoveling immediately after waking in the morning as most heart attacks occur in the
early morning when the blood is more prone to clotting Wait at least 30 minutes and warm
up slowly
2) Do not eat a heavy meal before shoveling as the blood supply needed by your muscles gets
Diverted to your stomach
3) Dont smoke or drink coffee for at least one hour before and after shoveling as these
Stimulants elevate both your blood pressure and heart rate
4) Dress warmly in layers which traps air and increases insulation to reduce the risk of
hypothermia Cover your neck and head -- 50 of a personrsquos body heat is lost through
these areas Cover your mouth Deep breathing of cold air can cause angina or trigger
breathing problems
5) Use a small shovel
6) Begin slowly and take frequent breaks
Know the warning signs of a heart attack
Tightness or burning in the chest neck back jaw or arms particularly the left arm
Light headed dizziness nausea shortness of breath and cold sweats
IF YOU THINK YOU ARE HAVING A HEART ATTACK CALL 911 and
take (chew) two 325mg plain aspirin not enteric coated

The image of a weightlifter graced the front of the Wintario lottery ticket The weightlifter was Russ Prior What had he achieved to receive such an honour I was to find out over the next half hour when I visited Russ and his wife Barb on Harmony Lane
Throughout his career Russ has set over 130 weightlifting records in Canadian Pan American British Commonwealth amp Olympic competition He was a 13-time Canadian champion and due to his father being a dual citizen a one-time American champion He was funded by Sport Canada because he was able to maintain his position as one of the top 8 lifters in the world Prior to his involvement in weightlifting Russ was active in other sports He was the 1969 Ontario junior badminton champion and was later offered a foot-ball scholarship to an American college He gravitated to weightlifting and soon gained international standing In 1968 at the age of 18 he set a Canadian record in the clean and jerk He later won gold medals in the 1970 1974 and 1978 British Commonwealth games as well as the British Commonwealth championship in 1980 and gold in the 1975 Pan American games He was the Canadian flag bearer at the 1978 Commonwealth games Russ made the 1972 Olympic team but could not compete due to an injury He won a bronze medal at the 1976 Montreal Olympics setting a record that was broken 3 minutes later by a Bulgarian lifter In 1980 Russ was ranked fourth in the world but could not compete in the Moscow Olympics due to Canadas boycott
Russ balanced weightlifting with academic studies earning degrees from Carlton Queens University University of North Dakota amp University of Manitoba He coached ringette teams that won several Winnipeg and provincial titles and one western Canadian championship During his 31 year tenure as a teacher at Nelson McIntyre Collegiate he guided junior weightlifting teams to 17 Canadian championships and a ninth place finish in the world championships
His proudest achievement Having 3 children who are professionally employed and married with children of their own

Do you need inner peace in your life
I am passing this on to you because it definitely
works and we could all use a little more
calmness in our lives By following simple advice
heard on the Dr Phil show you too can find
inner peace Dr Phil proclaimed The way to
achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you
have started but never finished
So I looked around my house to find all the
things I started and hadnt finished and before
leaving the house this morning I finished off a
bottle of Merlot a bottle of Baileys Irish Cream
a package of Oreos the remainder of my old
Prozac prescription the rest of the cheesecake
some Doritos a box of chocolates and a half
bottle of Captain Morgan
You have no idea how freaking good I feel right
now Happy New Year

GERD ndash Gastroesophageal Reflux
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic digestive disease GERD occurs when stomach acid or occasionally stomach content flows back into your food pipe (esophagus) The backwash (reflux) irritates the lining of your esophagus and causes GERD
Both acid reflux and heartburn are common digestive conditions that many people experience from time to time When these signs and symptoms occur at least twice each week or interfere with your daily life or when your doctor can see damage to your esophagus you may be diagnosed with GERD
Most people can manage the discomfort of GERD with lifestyle changes and over-the-counter medications But some people with GERD may need stronger medications or even surgery to reduce symptoms
GERD signs and symptoms include
bullA burning sensation in your chest (heartburn) sometimes spreading to your throat along with a sour taste in your mouth
bullChest pain
bullDifficulty swallowing (dysphagia)
bullDry cough
bullHoarseness or sore throat
bullRegurgitation of food or sour liquid (acid reflux)
bullSensation of a lump in your throat
When to see a doctor
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience chest pain especially if you have other signs and symptoms such as shortness of breath or jaw or arm pain These may be signs and symptoms of a heart attack
Make an appointment with your doctor if you experience severe or frequent GERD symptoms If you take over-the-counter medications for heartburn more than twice a week see your doctor
A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions
and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

HOW I LEARNED TO MIND MY OWN BUSINESS
I was walking past the mental hospital the other day
and all the patients were shouting ldquo131313rdquo
The fence was too high to see over
but I saw a little gap in the planks
so I looked through to see what was going on
Some idiot poked me in the eye with a stick
then they all started shouting ldquo141414rdquo

What snow has fleas Where
Most of us have never noticed snow
fleas unique little creatures that are
really very common and right under our
noses Heres how to find them
On a warm sunny winter day take a look at the base of a tree where the snow may have melted down to expose some leaves or where the snow is shallow or hollowed out just a bit There youll find a sprinkling of what looks like pepper or ashes on the surface of the snow Each speck you see is a snow flea Once you find them watch closely and see what theyre up to Snow fleas are actually tiny insects which come out on warm sunny days to eat
decayed plant material or sap oozing from the tree They hop around acting like fleas and
thats where they get their
name snow fleas
Theyre not fleas though but
actually an arthropod called
Collembola (kol-LEM-bo-la) or
commonly called springtails
which measure about 18 inch
(2mm) long They have a very
unique catapult system to get
around Two tails on their
back end are tucked up
underneath their belly held
in place by tiny hooks When
the springtail wants to move
they just release the spring-loaded tails called furcula which hit the snow and send them
flying into the air Since snow fleas cant control their flight or direction they frequently
land in the same spot or only a few inches away
These are not just winter critters You can find them any time of year in the forest
living in the leaf litter stuck to the underside of leaves or on the surface of the soil
chomping on bits of rotting vegetation They also live on the surface of ponds Youd have to
look very closely to see them here because they blend in well and are so tiny Next time
youre playing in the snow outside or just going for a stroll take a look and see if you can
spy these incredible spring-loaded springtails commonly called snow fleas

Activities such as snow shoveling or walking through heavy wet snow and snow
drifts can strain the heart enough to cause a heart attack Snow shoveling can be
more strenuous than exercising full throttle on a treadmill Shoveling or pushing a heavy snow
blower can cause a sudden increase in blood pressure and heart rate while the cold weather
causes constriction of the blood vessels leading to a decrease in oxygen to the heart
Together this causes the heart to work harder and can trigger a potentially fatal heart attack
Individuals most at risk include
those with a prior history of heart attack andor heart disease
those with high blood pressure andor high cholesterol
those with a sedentary life style
smokers
Tips to protect your heart and reduce the risk of heart attack
1) Avoid shoveling immediately after waking in the morning as most heart attacks occur in the
early morning when the blood is more prone to clotting Wait at least 30 minutes and warm
up slowly
2) Do not eat a heavy meal before shoveling as the blood supply needed by your muscles gets
Diverted to your stomach
3) Dont smoke or drink coffee for at least one hour before and after shoveling as these
Stimulants elevate both your blood pressure and heart rate
4) Dress warmly in layers which traps air and increases insulation to reduce the risk of
hypothermia Cover your neck and head -- 50 of a personrsquos body heat is lost through
these areas Cover your mouth Deep breathing of cold air can cause angina or trigger
breathing problems
5) Use a small shovel
6) Begin slowly and take frequent breaks
Know the warning signs of a heart attack
Tightness or burning in the chest neck back jaw or arms particularly the left arm
Light headed dizziness nausea shortness of breath and cold sweats
IF YOU THINK YOU ARE HAVING A HEART ATTACK CALL 911 and
take (chew) two 325mg plain aspirin not enteric coated

The image of a weightlifter graced the front of the Wintario lottery ticket The weightlifter was Russ Prior What had he achieved to receive such an honour I was to find out over the next half hour when I visited Russ and his wife Barb on Harmony Lane
Throughout his career Russ has set over 130 weightlifting records in Canadian Pan American British Commonwealth amp Olympic competition He was a 13-time Canadian champion and due to his father being a dual citizen a one-time American champion He was funded by Sport Canada because he was able to maintain his position as one of the top 8 lifters in the world Prior to his involvement in weightlifting Russ was active in other sports He was the 1969 Ontario junior badminton champion and was later offered a foot-ball scholarship to an American college He gravitated to weightlifting and soon gained international standing In 1968 at the age of 18 he set a Canadian record in the clean and jerk He later won gold medals in the 1970 1974 and 1978 British Commonwealth games as well as the British Commonwealth championship in 1980 and gold in the 1975 Pan American games He was the Canadian flag bearer at the 1978 Commonwealth games Russ made the 1972 Olympic team but could not compete due to an injury He won a bronze medal at the 1976 Montreal Olympics setting a record that was broken 3 minutes later by a Bulgarian lifter In 1980 Russ was ranked fourth in the world but could not compete in the Moscow Olympics due to Canadas boycott
Russ balanced weightlifting with academic studies earning degrees from Carlton Queens University University of North Dakota amp University of Manitoba He coached ringette teams that won several Winnipeg and provincial titles and one western Canadian championship During his 31 year tenure as a teacher at Nelson McIntyre Collegiate he guided junior weightlifting teams to 17 Canadian championships and a ninth place finish in the world championships
His proudest achievement Having 3 children who are professionally employed and married with children of their own

Do you need inner peace in your life
I am passing this on to you because it definitely
works and we could all use a little more
calmness in our lives By following simple advice
heard on the Dr Phil show you too can find
inner peace Dr Phil proclaimed The way to
achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you
have started but never finished
So I looked around my house to find all the
things I started and hadnt finished and before
leaving the house this morning I finished off a
bottle of Merlot a bottle of Baileys Irish Cream
a package of Oreos the remainder of my old
Prozac prescription the rest of the cheesecake
some Doritos a box of chocolates and a half
bottle of Captain Morgan
You have no idea how freaking good I feel right
now Happy New Year

November 20 2014 Had a very enjoyable visit over a cup of coffee They had been looking at moving to our community for some time now and both Gordon and Joan are very very happy to finally find a beautiful home that they can enjoy They made the move just when we had that cold snap so Joan still hasnt found her pots and pans or dishes now that it has warmed up considerably Im sure they could go out into the garage and find all those missing items Joan recently retired as an Administrative Assistant at a physiotherapy clinic however Gordon is still hard at it as Executive Director at Electrical Association of Manitoba They both love golfing and can hardly wait for the golf season to start Joan also does some crafts gardening and singing Gordon canrsquot hardly wait for the pool to open and his other interests are the Internet public speaking and a very keen interest in current affairs They have 2 children and 2 grandchildren Again I would like to welcome you to our beautiful Paradise Village and look forward to seeing you at our meetings the social functions pot luck dinners and other activities offered here Its a good time to meet some of the other residents living here

GERD ndash Gastroesophageal Reflux
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic digestive disease GERD occurs when stomach acid or occasionally stomach content flows back into your food pipe (esophagus) The backwash (reflux) irritates the lining of your esophagus and causes GERD
Both acid reflux and heartburn are common digestive conditions that many people experience from time to time When these signs and symptoms occur at least twice each week or interfere with your daily life or when your doctor can see damage to your esophagus you may be diagnosed with GERD
Most people can manage the discomfort of GERD with lifestyle changes and over-the-counter medications But some people with GERD may need stronger medications or even surgery to reduce symptoms
GERD signs and symptoms include
bullA burning sensation in your chest (heartburn) sometimes spreading to your throat along with a sour taste in your mouth
bullChest pain
bullDifficulty swallowing (dysphagia)
bullDry cough
bullHoarseness or sore throat
bullRegurgitation of food or sour liquid (acid reflux)
bullSensation of a lump in your throat
When to see a doctor
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience chest pain especially if you have other signs and symptoms such as shortness of breath or jaw or arm pain These may be signs and symptoms of a heart attack
Make an appointment with your doctor if you experience severe or frequent GERD symptoms If you take over-the-counter medications for heartburn more than twice a week see your doctor

HOW I LEARNED TO MIND MY OWN BUSINESS
I was walking past the mental hospital the other day
and all the patients were shouting ldquo131313rdquo
The fence was too high to see over
but I saw a little gap in the planks
so I looked through to see what was going on
Some idiot poked me in the eye with a stick
then they all started shouting ldquo141414rdquo

What snow has fleas Where
Most of us have never noticed snow
fleas unique little creatures that are
really very common and right under our
noses Heres how to find them
On a warm sunny winter day take a look at the base of a tree where the snow may have melted down to expose some leaves or where the snow is shallow or hollowed out just a bit There youll find a sprinkling of what looks like pepper or ashes on the surface of the snow Each speck you see is a snow flea Once you find them watch closely and see what theyre up to Snow fleas are actually tiny insects which come out on warm sunny days to eat
decayed plant material or sap oozing from the tree They hop around acting like fleas and
thats where they get their
name snow fleas
Theyre not fleas though but
actually an arthropod called
Collembola (kol-LEM-bo-la) or
commonly called springtails
which measure about 18 inch
(2mm) long They have a very
unique catapult system to get
around Two tails on their
back end are tucked up
underneath their belly held
in place by tiny hooks When
the springtail wants to move
they just release the spring-loaded tails called furcula which hit the snow and send them
flying into the air Since snow fleas cant control their flight or direction they frequently
land in the same spot or only a few inches away
These are not just winter critters You can find them any time of year in the forest
living in the leaf litter stuck to the underside of leaves or on the surface of the soil
chomping on bits of rotting vegetation They also live on the surface of ponds Youd have to
look very closely to see them here because they blend in well and are so tiny Next time
youre playing in the snow outside or just going for a stroll take a look and see if you can
spy these incredible spring-loaded springtails commonly called snow fleas

Activities such as snow shoveling or walking through heavy wet snow and snow
drifts can strain the heart enough to cause a heart attack Snow shoveling can be
more strenuous than exercising full throttle on a treadmill Shoveling or pushing a heavy snow
blower can cause a sudden increase in blood pressure and heart rate while the cold weather
causes constriction of the blood vessels leading to a decrease in oxygen to the heart
Together this causes the heart to work harder and can trigger a potentially fatal heart attack
Individuals most at risk include
those with a prior history of heart attack andor heart disease
those with high blood pressure andor high cholesterol
those with a sedentary life style
smokers
Tips to protect your heart and reduce the risk of heart attack
1) Avoid shoveling immediately after waking in the morning as most heart attacks occur in the
early morning when the blood is more prone to clotting Wait at least 30 minutes and warm
up slowly
2) Do not eat a heavy meal before shoveling as the blood supply needed by your muscles gets
Diverted to your stomach
3) Dont smoke or drink coffee for at least one hour before and after shoveling as these
Stimulants elevate both your blood pressure and heart rate
4) Dress warmly in layers which traps air and increases insulation to reduce the risk of
hypothermia Cover your neck and head -- 50 of a personrsquos body heat is lost through
these areas Cover your mouth Deep breathing of cold air can cause angina or trigger
breathing problems
5) Use a small shovel
6) Begin slowly and take frequent breaks
Know the warning signs of a heart attack
Tightness or burning in the chest neck back jaw or arms particularly the left arm
Light headed dizziness nausea shortness of breath and cold sweats
IF YOU THINK YOU ARE HAVING A HEART ATTACK CALL 911 and
take (chew) two 325mg plain aspirin not enteric coated

The image of a weightlifter graced the front of the Wintario lottery ticket The weightlifter was Russ Prior What had he achieved to receive such an honour I was to find out over the next half hour when I visited Russ and his wife Barb on Harmony Lane
Throughout his career Russ has set over 130 weightlifting records in Canadian Pan American British Commonwealth amp Olympic competition He was a 13-time Canadian champion and due to his father being a dual citizen a one-time American champion He was funded by Sport Canada because he was able to maintain his position as one of the top 8 lifters in the world Prior to his involvement in weightlifting Russ was active in other sports He was the 1969 Ontario junior badminton champion and was later offered a foot-ball scholarship to an American college He gravitated to weightlifting and soon gained international standing In 1968 at the age of 18 he set a Canadian record in the clean and jerk He later won gold medals in the 1970 1974 and 1978 British Commonwealth games as well as the British Commonwealth championship in 1980 and gold in the 1975 Pan American games He was the Canadian flag bearer at the 1978 Commonwealth games Russ made the 1972 Olympic team but could not compete due to an injury He won a bronze medal at the 1976 Montreal Olympics setting a record that was broken 3 minutes later by a Bulgarian lifter In 1980 Russ was ranked fourth in the world but could not compete in the Moscow Olympics due to Canadas boycott
Russ balanced weightlifting with academic studies earning degrees from Carlton Queens University University of North Dakota amp University of Manitoba He coached ringette teams that won several Winnipeg and provincial titles and one western Canadian championship During his 31 year tenure as a teacher at Nelson McIntyre Collegiate he guided junior weightlifting teams to 17 Canadian championships and a ninth place finish in the world championships
His proudest achievement Having 3 children who are professionally employed and married with children of their own

Whether the weather be foggy or cold the spirit of Christmas is in the air It is heart warming to see the support that continues to surround us The Richer Friends Who Care and Paradise Village Fellowship Christian Church committee coordinated the annual Christmas Basket drive for Richer and rural area
With Santas helpers and your generosity we were able to distribute 20 baskets to needy families this Christmas season A total of 27 children will enjoy Santas gifts of fuzzy PJS and socks that were chosen by Mrs Clause and warm toques mitts and scarves that were knitted by delightful grandmas
We wish to extend our sincere appreciation to the PVRA committee and residents the RM of Ste Anne businesses and individuals for their monetary donations

Do you need inner peace in your life
I am passing this on to you because it definitely
works and we could all use a little more
calmness in our lives By following simple advice
heard on the Dr Phil show you too can find
inner peace Dr Phil proclaimed The way to
achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you
have started but never finished
So I looked around my house to find all the
things I started and hadnt finished and before
leaving the house this morning I finished off a
bottle of Merlot a bottle of Baileys Irish Cream
a package of Oreos the remainder of my old
Prozac prescription the rest of the cheesecake
some Doritos a box of chocolates and a half
bottle of Captain Morgan
You have no idea how freaking good I feel right
now Happy New Year

GERD ndash Gastroesophageal Reflux
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic digestive disease GERD occurs when stomach acid or occasionally stomach content flows back into your food pipe (esophagus) The backwash (reflux) irritates the lining of your esophagus and causes GERD
Both acid reflux and heartburn are common digestive conditions that many people experience from time to time When these signs and symptoms occur at least twice each week or interfere with your daily life or when your doctor can see damage to your esophagus you may be diagnosed with GERD
Most people can manage the discomfort of GERD with lifestyle changes and over-the-counter medications But some people with GERD may need stronger medications or even surgery to reduce symptoms
GERD signs and symptoms include
bullA burning sensation in your chest (heartburn) sometimes spreading to your throat along with a sour taste in your mouth
bullChest pain
bullDifficulty swallowing (dysphagia)
bullDry cough
bullHoarseness or sore throat
bullRegurgitation of food or sour liquid (acid reflux)
bullSensation of a lump in your throat
When to see a doctor
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience chest pain especially if you have other signs and symptoms such as shortness of breath or jaw or arm pain These may be signs and symptoms of a heart attack
Make an appointment with your doctor if you experience severe or frequent GERD symptoms If you take over-the-counter medications for heartburn more than twice a week see your doctor
A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions
and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

What snow has fleas Where
Most of us have never noticed snow
fleas unique little creatures that are
really very common and right under our
noses Heres how to find them
On a warm sunny winter day take a look at the base of a tree where the snow may have melted down to expose some leaves or where the snow is shallow or hollowed out just a bit There youll find a sprinkling of what looks like pepper or ashes on the surface of the snow Each speck you see is a snow flea Once you find them watch closely and see what theyre up to Snow fleas are actually tiny insects which come out on warm sunny days to eat
decayed plant material or sap oozing from the tree They hop around acting like fleas and
thats where they get their
name snow fleas
Theyre not fleas though but
actually an arthropod called
Collembola (kol-LEM-bo-la) or
commonly called springtails
which measure about 18 inch
(2mm) long They have a very
unique catapult system to get
around Two tails on their
back end are tucked up
underneath their belly held
in place by tiny hooks When
the springtail wants to move
they just release the spring-loaded tails called furcula which hit the snow and send them
flying into the air Since snow fleas cant control their flight or direction they frequently
land in the same spot or only a few inches away
These are not just winter critters You can find them any time of year in the forest
living in the leaf litter stuck to the underside of leaves or on the surface of the soil
chomping on bits of rotting vegetation They also live on the surface of ponds Youd have to
look very closely to see them here because they blend in well and are so tiny Next time
youre playing in the snow outside or just going for a stroll take a look and see if you can
spy these incredible spring-loaded springtails commonly called snow fleas

Activities such as snow shoveling or walking through heavy wet snow and snow
drifts can strain the heart enough to cause a heart attack Snow shoveling can be
more strenuous than exercising full throttle on a treadmill Shoveling or pushing a heavy snow
blower can cause a sudden increase in blood pressure and heart rate while the cold weather
causes constriction of the blood vessels leading to a decrease in oxygen to the heart
Together this causes the heart to work harder and can trigger a potentially fatal heart attack
Individuals most at risk include
those with a prior history of heart attack andor heart disease
those with high blood pressure andor high cholesterol
those with a sedentary life style
smokers
Tips to protect your heart and reduce the risk of heart attack
1) Avoid shoveling immediately after waking in the morning as most heart attacks occur in the
early morning when the blood is more prone to clotting Wait at least 30 minutes and warm
up slowly
2) Do not eat a heavy meal before shoveling as the blood supply needed by your muscles gets
Diverted to your stomach
3) Dont smoke or drink coffee for at least one hour before and after shoveling as these
Stimulants elevate both your blood pressure and heart rate
4) Dress warmly in layers which traps air and increases insulation to reduce the risk of
hypothermia Cover your neck and head -- 50 of a personrsquos body heat is lost through
these areas Cover your mouth Deep breathing of cold air can cause angina or trigger
breathing problems
5) Use a small shovel
6) Begin slowly and take frequent breaks
Know the warning signs of a heart attack
Tightness or burning in the chest neck back jaw or arms particularly the left arm
Light headed dizziness nausea shortness of breath and cold sweats
IF YOU THINK YOU ARE HAVING A HEART ATTACK CALL 911 and
take (chew) two 325mg plain aspirin not enteric coated

The image of a weightlifter graced the front of the Wintario lottery ticket The weightlifter was Russ Prior What had he achieved to receive such an honour I was to find out over the next half hour when I visited Russ and his wife Barb on Harmony Lane
Throughout his career Russ has set over 130 weightlifting records in Canadian Pan American British Commonwealth amp Olympic competition He was a 13-time Canadian champion and due to his father being a dual citizen a one-time American champion He was funded by Sport Canada because he was able to maintain his position as one of the top 8 lifters in the world Prior to his involvement in weightlifting Russ was active in other sports He was the 1969 Ontario junior badminton champion and was later offered a foot-ball scholarship to an American college He gravitated to weightlifting and soon gained international standing In 1968 at the age of 18 he set a Canadian record in the clean and jerk He later won gold medals in the 1970 1974 and 1978 British Commonwealth games as well as the British Commonwealth championship in 1980 and gold in the 1975 Pan American games He was the Canadian flag bearer at the 1978 Commonwealth games Russ made the 1972 Olympic team but could not compete due to an injury He won a bronze medal at the 1976 Montreal Olympics setting a record that was broken 3 minutes later by a Bulgarian lifter In 1980 Russ was ranked fourth in the world but could not compete in the Moscow Olympics due to Canadas boycott
Russ balanced weightlifting with academic studies earning degrees from Carlton Queens University University of North Dakota amp University of Manitoba He coached ringette teams that won several Winnipeg and provincial titles and one western Canadian championship During his 31 year tenure as a teacher at Nelson McIntyre Collegiate he guided junior weightlifting teams to 17 Canadian championships and a ninth place finish in the world championships
His proudest achievement Having 3 children who are professionally employed and married with children of their own

Our December 16th Christmas Dance was well
attended along with dancers from Beausejour Swinging Squares

Do you need inner peace in your life
I am passing this on to you because it definitely
works and we could all use a little more
calmness in our lives By following simple advice
heard on the Dr Phil show you too can find
inner peace Dr Phil proclaimed The way to
achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you
have started but never finished
So I looked around my house to find all the
things I started and hadnt finished and before
leaving the house this morning I finished off a
bottle of Merlot a bottle of Baileys Irish Cream
a package of Oreos the remainder of my old
Prozac prescription the rest of the cheesecake
some Doritos a box of chocolates and a half
bottle of Captain Morgan
You have no idea how freaking good I feel right
now Happy New Year

GERD ndash Gastroesophageal Reflux
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic digestive disease GERD occurs when stomach acid or occasionally stomach content flows back into your food pipe (esophagus) The backwash (reflux) irritates the lining of your esophagus and causes GERD
Both acid reflux and heartburn are common digestive conditions that many people experience from time to time When these signs and symptoms occur at least twice each week or interfere with your daily life or when your doctor can see damage to your esophagus you may be diagnosed with GERD
Most people can manage the discomfort of GERD with lifestyle changes and over-the-counter medications But some people with GERD may need stronger medications or even surgery to reduce symptoms
GERD signs and symptoms include
bullA burning sensation in your chest (heartburn) sometimes spreading to your throat along with a sour taste in your mouth
bullChest pain
bullDifficulty swallowing (dysphagia)
bullDry cough
bullHoarseness or sore throat
bullRegurgitation of food or sour liquid (acid reflux)
bullSensation of a lump in your throat
When to see a doctor
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience chest pain especially if you have other signs and symptoms such as shortness of breath or jaw or arm pain These may be signs and symptoms of a heart attack
Make an appointment with your doctor if you experience severe or frequent GERD symptoms If you take over-the-counter medications for heartburn more than twice a week see your doctor
A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions
and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

Activities such as snow shoveling or walking through heavy wet snow and snow
drifts can strain the heart enough to cause a heart attack Snow shoveling can be
more strenuous than exercising full throttle on a treadmill Shoveling or pushing a heavy snow
blower can cause a sudden increase in blood pressure and heart rate while the cold weather
causes constriction of the blood vessels leading to a decrease in oxygen to the heart
Together this causes the heart to work harder and can trigger a potentially fatal heart attack
Individuals most at risk include
those with a prior history of heart attack andor heart disease
those with high blood pressure andor high cholesterol

Tips to protect your heart and reduce the risk of heart attack
1) Avoid shoveling immediately after waking in the morning as most heart attacks occur in the
early morning when the blood is more prone to clotting Wait at least 30 minutes and warm
up slowly
2) Do not eat a heavy meal before shoveling as the blood supply needed by your muscles gets
Diverted to your stomach
3) Dont smoke or drink coffee for at least one hour before and after shoveling as these
Stimulants elevate both your blood pressure and heart rate
4) Dress warmly in layers which traps air and increases insulation to reduce the risk of
hypothermia Cover your neck and head -- 50 of a personrsquos body heat is lost through
these areas Cover your mouth Deep breathing of cold air can cause angina or trigger
breathing problems
5) Use a small shovel
6) Begin slowly and take frequent breaks
Know the warning signs of a heart attack
Tightness or burning in the chest neck back jaw or arms particularly the left arm
Light headed dizziness nausea shortness of breath and cold sweats
IF YOU THINK YOU ARE HAVING A HEART ATTACK CALL 911 and
take (chew) two 325mg plain aspirin not enteric coated

The image of a weightlifter graced the front of the Wintario lottery ticket The weightlifter was Russ Prior What had he achieved to receive such an honour I was to find out over the next half hour when I visited Russ and his wife Barb on Harmony Lane
Throughout his career Russ has set over 130 weightlifting records in Canadian Pan American British Commonwealth amp Olympic competition He was a 13-time Canadian champion and due to his father being a dual citizen a one-time American champion He was funded by Sport Canada because he was able to maintain his position as one of the top 8 lifters in the world Prior to his involvement in weightlifting Russ was active in other sports He was the 1969 Ontario junior badminton champion and was later offered a foot-ball scholarship to an American college He gravitated to weightlifting and soon gained international standing In 1968 at the age of 18 he set a Canadian record in the clean and jerk He later won gold medals in the 1970 1974 and 1978 British Commonwealth games as well as the British Commonwealth championship in 1980 and gold in the 1975 Pan American games He was the Canadian flag bearer at the 1978 Commonwealth games Russ made the 1972 Olympic team but could not compete due to an injury He won a bronze medal at the 1976 Montreal Olympics setting a record that was broken 3 minutes later by a Bulgarian lifter In 1980 Russ was ranked fourth in the world but could not compete in the Moscow Olympics due to Canadas boycott
Russ balanced weightlifting with academic studies earning degrees from Carlton Queens University University of North Dakota amp University of Manitoba He coached ringette teams that won several Winnipeg and provincial titles and one western Canadian championship During his 31 year tenure as a teacher at Nelson McIntyre Collegiate he guided junior weightlifting teams to 17 Canadian championships and a ninth place finish in the world championships
His proudest achievement Having 3 children who are professionally employed and married with children of their own

Do you need inner peace in your life
I am passing this on to you because it definitely
works and we could all use a little more
calmness in our lives By following simple advice
heard on the Dr Phil show you too can find
inner peace Dr Phil proclaimed The way to
achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you
have started but never finished
So I looked around my house to find all the
things I started and hadnt finished and before
leaving the house this morning I finished off a
bottle of Merlot a bottle of Baileys Irish Cream
a package of Oreos the remainder of my old
Prozac prescription the rest of the cheesecake
some Doritos a box of chocolates and a half
bottle of Captain Morgan
You have no idea how freaking good I feel right
now Happy New Year

GERD ndash Gastroesophageal Reflux
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic digestive disease GERD occurs when stomach acid or occasionally stomach content flows back into your food pipe (esophagus) The backwash (reflux) irritates the lining of your esophagus and causes GERD
Both acid reflux and heartburn are common digestive conditions that many people experience from time to time When these signs and symptoms occur at least twice each week or interfere with your daily life or when your doctor can see damage to your esophagus you may be diagnosed with GERD
Most people can manage the discomfort of GERD with lifestyle changes and over-the-counter medications But some people with GERD may need stronger medications or even surgery to reduce symptoms
GERD signs and symptoms include
bullA burning sensation in your chest (heartburn) sometimes spreading to your throat along with a sour taste in your mouth
bullChest pain
bullDifficulty swallowing (dysphagia)
bullDry cough
bullHoarseness or sore throat
bullRegurgitation of food or sour liquid (acid reflux)
bullSensation of a lump in your throat
When to see a doctor
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience chest pain especially if you have other signs and symptoms such as shortness of breath or jaw or arm pain These may be signs and symptoms of a heart attack
Make an appointment with your doctor if you experience severe or frequent GERD symptoms If you take over-the-counter medications for heartburn more than twice a week see your doctor
A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions
and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

Submitted by
Paradise Village Resident
Barb Prior
Activities such as snow shoveling or walking through heavy wet snow and snow
drifts can strain the heart enough to cause a heart attack Snow shoveling can be
more strenuous than exercising full throttle on a treadmill Shoveling or pushing a heavy snow
blower can cause a sudden increase in blood pressure and heart rate while the cold weather
causes constriction of the blood vessels leading to a decrease in oxygen to the heart
Together this causes the heart to work harder and can trigger a potentially fatal heart attack
Individuals most at risk include
those with a prior history of heart attack andor heart disease
those with high blood pressure andor high cholesterol
those with a sedentary life style
smokers
Tips to protect your heart and reduce the risk of heart attack
1) Avoid shoveling immediately after waking in the morning as most heart attacks occur in the
early morning when the blood is more prone to clotting Wait at least 30 minutes and warm
up slowly
2) Do not eat a heavy meal before shoveling as the blood supply needed by your muscles gets
Diverted to your stomach
3) Dont smoke or drink coffee for at least one hour before and after shoveling as these
Stimulants elevate both your blood pressure and heart rate

The image of a weightlifter graced the front of the Wintario lottery ticket The weightlifter was Russ Prior What had he achieved to receive such an honour I was to find out over the next half hour when I visited Russ and his wife Barb on Harmony Lane
Throughout his career Russ has set over 130 weightlifting records in Canadian Pan American British Commonwealth amp Olympic competition He was a 13-time Canadian champion and due to his father being a dual citizen a one-time American champion He was funded by Sport Canada because he was able to maintain his position as one of the top 8 lifters in the world Prior to his involvement in weightlifting Russ was active in other sports He was the 1969 Ontario junior badminton champion and was later offered a foot-ball scholarship to an American college He gravitated to weightlifting and soon gained international standing In 1968 at the age of 18 he set a Canadian record in the clean and jerk He later won gold medals in the 1970 1974 and 1978 British Commonwealth games as well as the British Commonwealth championship in 1980 and gold in the 1975 Pan American games He was the Canadian flag bearer at the 1978 Commonwealth games Russ made the 1972 Olympic team but could not compete due to an injury He won a bronze medal at the 1976 Montreal Olympics setting a record that was broken 3 minutes later by a Bulgarian lifter In 1980 Russ was ranked fourth in the world but could not compete in the Moscow Olympics due to Canadas boycott
Russ balanced weightlifting with academic studies earning degrees from Carlton Queens University University of North Dakota amp University of Manitoba He coached ringette teams that won several Winnipeg and provincial titles and one western Canadian championship During his 31 year tenure as a teacher at Nelson McIntyre Collegiate he guided junior weightlifting teams to 17 Canadian championships and a ninth place finish in the world championships
His proudest achievement Having 3 children who are professionally employed and married with children of their own

Do you need inner peace in your life
I am passing this on to you because it definitely
works and we could all use a little more
calmness in our lives By following simple advice
heard on the Dr Phil show you too can find
inner peace Dr Phil proclaimed The way to
achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you
have started but never finished
So I looked around my house to find all the
things I started and hadnt finished and before
leaving the house this morning I finished off a
bottle of Merlot a bottle of Baileys Irish Cream
a package of Oreos the remainder of my old
Prozac prescription the rest of the cheesecake
some Doritos a box of chocolates and a half
bottle of Captain Morgan
You have no idea how freaking good I feel right
now Happy New Year

GERD ndash Gastroesophageal Reflux
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic digestive disease GERD occurs when stomach acid or occasionally stomach content flows back into your food pipe (esophagus) The backwash (reflux) irritates the lining of your esophagus and causes GERD
Both acid reflux and heartburn are common digestive conditions that many people experience from time to time When these signs and symptoms occur at least twice each week or interfere with your daily life or when your doctor can see damage to your esophagus you may be diagnosed with GERD
Most people can manage the discomfort of GERD with lifestyle changes and over-the-counter medications But some people with GERD may need stronger medications or even surgery to reduce symptoms
GERD signs and symptoms include
bullA burning sensation in your chest (heartburn) sometimes spreading to your throat along with a sour taste in your mouth
bullChest pain
bullDifficulty swallowing (dysphagia)
bullDry cough
bullHoarseness or sore throat
bullRegurgitation of food or sour liquid (acid reflux)
bullSensation of a lump in your throat
When to see a doctor
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience chest pain especially if you have other signs and symptoms such as shortness of breath or jaw or arm pain These may be signs and symptoms of a heart attack
Make an appointment with your doctor if you experience severe or frequent GERD symptoms If you take over-the-counter medications for heartburn more than twice a week see your doctor
A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions
and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

The image of a weightlifter graced the front of the Wintario lottery ticket The weightlifter was Russ Prior What had he achieved to receive such an honour I was to find out over the next half hour when I visited Russ and his wife Barb on Harmony Lane
Throughout his career Russ has set over 130 weightlifting records in Canadian Pan American British Commonwealth amp Olympic competition He was a 13-time Canadian champion and due to his father being a dual citizen a one-time American champion He was funded by Sport Canada because he was able to maintain his position as one of the top 8 lifters in the world Prior to his involvement in weightlifting Russ was active in other sports He was the 1969 Ontario junior badminton champion and was later offered a foot-ball scholarship to an American college He gravitated to weightlifting and soon gained international standing In 1968 at the age of 18 he set a Canadian record in the clean and jerk He later won gold medals in the 1970 1974 and 1978 British Commonwealth games as well as the British Commonwealth championship in 1980 and gold in the 1975 Pan American games He was the Canadian flag bearer at the 1978 Commonwealth games Russ made the 1972 Olympic team but could not compete due to an injury He won a bronze medal at the 1976 Montreal Olympics setting a record that was broken 3 minutes later by a Bulgarian lifter In 1980 Russ was ranked fourth in the world but could not compete in the Moscow Olympics due to Canadas boycott
Russ balanced weightlifting with academic studies earning degrees from Carlton Queens University University of North Dakota amp University of Manitoba He coached ringette teams that won several Winnipeg and provincial titles and one western Canadian championship During his 31 year tenure as a teacher at Nelson McIntyre Collegiate he guided junior weightlifting teams to 17 Canadian championships and a ninth place finish in the world championships
His proudest achievement Having 3 children who are professionally employed and married with children of their own

Do you need inner peace in your life
I am passing this on to you because it definitely
works and we could all use a little more
calmness in our lives By following simple advice
heard on the Dr Phil show you too can find
inner peace Dr Phil proclaimed The way to
achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you
have started but never finished
So I looked around my house to find all the
things I started and hadnt finished and before
leaving the house this morning I finished off a
bottle of Merlot a bottle of Baileys Irish Cream
a package of Oreos the remainder of my old
Prozac prescription the rest of the cheesecake
some Doritos a box of chocolates and a half
bottle of Captain Morgan
You have no idea how freaking good I feel right
now Happy New Year

GERD ndash Gastroesophageal Reflux
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic digestive disease GERD occurs when stomach acid or occasionally stomach content flows back into your food pipe (esophagus) The backwash (reflux) irritates the lining of your esophagus and causes GERD
Both acid reflux and heartburn are common digestive conditions that many people experience from time to time When these signs and symptoms occur at least twice each week or interfere with your daily life or when your doctor can see damage to your esophagus you may be diagnosed with GERD
Most people can manage the discomfort of GERD with lifestyle changes and over-the-counter medications But some people with GERD may need stronger medications or even surgery to reduce symptoms
GERD signs and symptoms include
bullA burning sensation in your chest (heartburn) sometimes spreading to your throat along with a sour taste in your mouth
bullChest pain
bullDifficulty swallowing (dysphagia)
bullDry cough
bullHoarseness or sore throat
bullRegurgitation of food or sour liquid (acid reflux)
bullSensation of a lump in your throat
When to see a doctor
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience chest pain especially if you have other signs and symptoms such as shortness of breath or jaw or arm pain These may be signs and symptoms of a heart attack
Make an appointment with your doctor if you experience severe or frequent GERD symptoms If you take over-the-counter medications for heartburn more than twice a week see your doctor
A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions
and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

Do you need inner peace in your life
I am passing this on to you because it definitely
works and we could all use a little more
calmness in our lives By following simple advice
heard on the Dr Phil show you too can find
inner peace Dr Phil proclaimed The way to
achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you
have started but never finished
So I looked around my house to find all the
things I started and hadnt finished and before
leaving the house this morning I finished off a
bottle of Merlot a bottle of Baileys Irish Cream
a package of Oreos the remainder of my old
Prozac prescription the rest of the cheesecake
some Doritos a box of chocolates and a half
bottle of Captain Morgan
You have no idea how freaking good I feel right
now Happy New Year

GERD ndash Gastroesophageal Reflux
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic digestive disease GERD occurs when stomach acid or occasionally stomach content flows back into your food pipe (esophagus) The backwash (reflux) irritates the lining of your esophagus and causes GERD
Both acid reflux and heartburn are common digestive conditions that many people experience from time to time When these signs and symptoms occur at least twice each week or interfere with your daily life or when your doctor can see damage to your esophagus you may be diagnosed with GERD
Most people can manage the discomfort of GERD with lifestyle changes and over-the-counter medications But some people with GERD may need stronger medications or even surgery to reduce symptoms
GERD signs and symptoms include
bullA burning sensation in your chest (heartburn) sometimes spreading to your throat along with a sour taste in your mouth
bullChest pain
bullDifficulty swallowing (dysphagia)
bullDry cough
bullHoarseness or sore throat
bullRegurgitation of food or sour liquid (acid reflux)
bullSensation of a lump in your throat
When to see a doctor
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience chest pain especially if you have other signs and symptoms such as shortness of breath or jaw or arm pain These may be signs and symptoms of a heart attack
Make an appointment with your doctor if you experience severe or frequent GERD symptoms If you take over-the-counter medications for heartburn more than twice a week see your doctor
A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions
and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

Do you need inner peace in your life
I am passing this on to you because it definitely
works and we could all use a little more
calmness in our lives By following simple advice
heard on the Dr Phil show you too can find
inner peace Dr Phil proclaimed The way to
achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you
have started but never finished
So I looked around my house to find all the
things I started and hadnt finished and before
leaving the house this morning I finished off a
bottle of Merlot a bottle of Baileys Irish Cream
a package of Oreos the remainder of my old
Prozac prescription the rest of the cheesecake
some Doritos a box of chocolates and a half
bottle of Captain Morgan
You have no idea how freaking good I feel right
now Happy New Year

GERD ndash Gastroesophageal Reflux
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic digestive disease GERD occurs when stomach acid or occasionally stomach content flows back into your food pipe (esophagus) The backwash (reflux) irritates the lining of your esophagus and causes GERD
Both acid reflux and heartburn are common digestive conditions that many people experience from time to time When these signs and symptoms occur at least twice each week or interfere with your daily life or when your doctor can see damage to your esophagus you may be diagnosed with GERD
Most people can manage the discomfort of GERD with lifestyle changes and over-the-counter medications But some people with GERD may need stronger medications or even surgery to reduce symptoms
GERD signs and symptoms include
bullA burning sensation in your chest (heartburn) sometimes spreading to your throat along with a sour taste in your mouth
bullChest pain
bullDifficulty swallowing (dysphagia)
bullDry cough
bullHoarseness or sore throat
bullRegurgitation of food or sour liquid (acid reflux)
bullSensation of a lump in your throat
When to see a doctor
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience chest pain especially if you have other signs and symptoms such as shortness of breath or jaw or arm pain These may be signs and symptoms of a heart attack
Make an appointment with your doctor if you experience severe or frequent GERD symptoms If you take over-the-counter medications for heartburn more than twice a week see your doctor
A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions
and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

Whether the weather be foggy or cold the spirit of Christmas is in the air It is heart warming to see the support that continues to surround us The Richer Friends Who Care and Paradise Village Fellowship Christian Church committee coordinated the annual Christmas Basket drive for Richer and rural area
With Santas helpers and your generosity we were able to distribute 20 baskets to needy families this Christmas season A total of 27 children will enjoy Santas gifts of fuzzy PJS and socks that were chosen by Mrs Clause and warm toques mitts and scarves that were knitted by delightful grandmas
We wish to extend our sincere appreciation to the PVRA committee and residents the RM of Ste Anne businesses and individuals for their monetary donations
Thank you to the Richer Fellowship Church Richer School and individuals for their non perishable food drive
Thanks goes out to Doreen Pchajek for organizing a fundraiser during the last six weeks on Bingo nights Dr Hein dental office for hygiene pacs and your support for a successful Christmas Basket drive

Special thanks to Anna our knitter of toques mitts and scarves for the Richer school children

Do you need inner peace in your life
I am passing this on to you because it definitely
works and we could all use a little more
calmness in our lives By following simple advice
heard on the Dr Phil show you too can find
inner peace Dr Phil proclaimed The way to
achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you
have started but never finished
So I looked around my house to find all the
things I started and hadnt finished and before
leaving the house this morning I finished off a
bottle of Merlot a bottle of Baileys Irish Cream
a package of Oreos the remainder of my old
Prozac prescription the rest of the cheesecake
some Doritos a box of chocolates and a half
bottle of Captain Morgan
You have no idea how freaking good I feel right
now Happy New Year

November 20 2014 Had a very enjoyable visit over a cup of coffee They had been looking at moving to our community for some time now and both Gordon and Joan are very very happy to finally find a beautiful home that they can enjoy They made the move just when we had that cold snap so Joan still hasnt found her pots and pans or dishes now that it has warmed up considerably Im sure they could go out into the garage and find all those missing items Joan recently retired as an Administrative Assistant at a physiotherapy clinic however Gordon is still hard at it as Executive Director at Electrical Association of Manitoba They both love golfing and can hardly wait for the golf season to start Joan also does some crafts gardening and singing Gordon canrsquot hardly wait for the pool to open and his other interests are the Internet public speaking and a very keen interest in current affairs They have 2 children and 2 grandchildren Again I would like to welcome you to our beautiful Paradise Village and look forward to seeing you at our meetings the social functions pot luck dinners and other activities offered here Its a good time to meet some of the other residents living here

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic digestive disease GERD occurs when stomach acid or occasionally stomach content flows back into your food pipe (esophagus) The backwash (reflux) irritates the lining of your esophagus and causes GERD
Both acid reflux and heartburn are common digestive conditions that many people experience from time to time When these signs and symptoms occur at least twice each week or interfere with your daily life or when your doctor can see damage to your esophagus you may be diagnosed with GERD
Most people can manage the discomfort of GERD with lifestyle changes and over-the-counter medications But some people with GERD may need stronger medications or even surgery to reduce symptoms
GERD signs and symptoms include
bullA burning sensation in your chest (heartburn) sometimes spreading to your throat along with a sour taste in your mouth
bullChest pain
bullDifficulty swallowing (dysphagia)
bullDry cough
bullHoarseness or sore throat
bullRegurgitation of food or sour liquid (acid reflux)
bullSensation of a lump in your throat
When to see a doctor
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience chest pain especially if you have other signs and symptoms such as shortness of breath or jaw or arm pain These may be signs and symptoms of a heart attack
Make an appointment with your doctor if you experience severe or frequent GERD symptoms If you take over-the-counter medications for heartburn more than twice a week see your doctor

Do you need inner peace in your life
I am passing this on to you because it definitely
works and we could all use a little more
calmness in our lives By following simple advice
heard on the Dr Phil show you too can find
inner peace Dr Phil proclaimed The way to
achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you
have started but never finished
So I looked around my house to find all the
things I started and hadnt finished and before
leaving the house this morning I finished off a
bottle of Merlot a bottle of Baileys Irish Cream
a package of Oreos the remainder of my old
Prozac prescription the rest of the cheesecake
some Doritos a box of chocolates and a half
bottle of Captain Morgan
You have no idea how freaking good I feel right
now Happy New Year

Christmas Basket Drive 2014
Whether the weather be foggy or cold the spirit of Christmas is in the air It is heart warming to see the support that continues to surround us The Richer Friends Who Care and Paradise Village Fellowship Christian Church committee coordinated the annual Christmas Basket drive for Richer and rural area
With Santas helpers and your generosity we were able to distribute 20 baskets to needy families this Christmas season A total of 27 children will enjoy Santas gifts of fuzzy PJS and socks that were chosen by Mrs Clause and warm toques mitts and scarves that were knitted by delightful grandmas
We wish to extend our sincere appreciation to the PVRA committee and residents the RM of Ste Anne businesses and individuals for their monetary donations
Thank you to the Richer Fellowship Church Richer School and individuals for their non perishable food drive
Thanks goes out to Doreen Pchajek for organizing a fundraiser during the last six weeks on Bingo nights Dr Hein dental office for hygiene pacs and your support for a successful Christmas Basket drive
We would like to especially thank the following people for sharing their resources time and talent
Special thanks to Anna our knitter of toques mitts and scarves for the Richer school children
Thanks to Mary Kehler for the beautiful knitted toques and scarves for the baskets
Thanks to Sandra Hebert for shopping for all the children s gifts and Rachelle Laurin and Terri
McKerchar who wrapped and distributed them in time for the special day
Santas helpers are co-chair Heather Burnell John amp Anna Praymayer Jim amp Terri McKerchar Keith amp Susan McEwen George amp Rachelle Laurin Nick amp Joyce Spewak Hazel Paquette Pauline Fontaine Sandy Hebert plus we also received a visit from Pastor Stan and Mary Kehler
These are the people who physically spent the last two months making the basket drive happen but without the continued support of the people in the community it would not be possible
Thanks for the delightful lunch shared by all and prepared by the ladies of Paradise Village Christian Church committee
Our sincere and heartfelt thanks to all
We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Do you need inner peace in your life
I am passing this on to you because it definitely
works and we could all use a little more
calmness in our lives By following simple advice
heard on the Dr Phil show you too can find
inner peace Dr Phil proclaimed The way to
achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you
have started but never finished
So I looked around my house to find all the
things I started and hadnt finished and before
leaving the house this morning I finished off a
bottle of Merlot a bottle of Baileys Irish Cream
a package of Oreos the remainder of my old
Prozac prescription the rest of the cheesecake
some Doritos a box of chocolates and a half
bottle of Captain Morgan
You have no idea how freaking good I feel right
now Happy New Year

P A R A D I S E V I L L A G E N E W S Welcome New Residents Bill Holowec amp Shirley Neufeld - 6 Village Drive - moved from Winnipeg to their new home on October 15 2014 They are both absolutely happy to have made the move to beautiful Paradise Village Now that they have moved here they are closer to Shirleys mother who lives in Richer That is probably one of the reasons they made the move They both told me that it felt like living at the lake here so many other people have said the same thing They love the tranquility the peaceful quiet atmosphere and their friendly neighbors At the present time they are both still working however Bill plans on retiring in the spring from his job as manufacturing engineer at New Flyer Industries Shirley is in Accounts Receivable with Mariner Neptune and plans on working for awhile yet She loves gardening cooking walking and cycling Bill likes walking and cycling as well but his greatest interest is restoring cars Between them there are 6 children 10 grandchildren and 1 great-grandchild They have a beautiful big place no problem to accommodate and entertain their family Bill and Shirley it was a pleasure to meet and greet you and I look forward to seeing you at the many functions that take place here in the Village
Gordon and Joan Macpherson - 14 Sunset Drive - moved from Winnipeg to Paradise Village on
November 20 2014 Had a very enjoyable visit over a cup of coffee They had been looking at moving to our community for some time now and both Gordon and Joan are very very happy to finally find a beautiful home that they can enjoy They made the move just when we had that cold snap so Joan still hasnt found her pots and pans or dishes now that it has warmed up considerably Im sure they could go out into the garage and find all those missing items Joan recently retired as an Administrative Assistant at a physiotherapy clinic however Gordon is still hard at it as Executive Director at Electrical Association of Manitoba They both love golfing and can hardly wait for the golf season to start Joan also does some crafts gardening and singing Gordon canrsquot hardly wait for the pool to open and his other interests are the Internet public speaking and a very keen interest in current affairs They have 2 children and 2 grandchildren Again I would like to welcome you to our beautiful Paradise Village and look forward to seeing you at our meetings the social functions pot luck dinners and other activities offered here Its a good time to meet some of the other residents living here

GERD ndash Gastroesophageal Reflux
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic digestive disease GERD occurs when stomach acid or occasionally stomach content flows back into your food pipe (esophagus) The backwash (reflux) irritates the lining of your esophagus and causes GERD
Both acid reflux and heartburn are common digestive conditions that many people experience from time to time When these signs and symptoms occur at least twice each week or interfere with your daily life or when your doctor can see damage to your esophagus you may be diagnosed with GERD
Most people can manage the discomfort of GERD with lifestyle changes and over-the-counter medications But some people with GERD may need stronger medications or even surgery to reduce symptoms
GERD signs and symptoms include
bullA burning sensation in your chest (heartburn) sometimes spreading to your throat along with a sour taste in your mouth
bullChest pain
bullDifficulty swallowing (dysphagia)
bullDry cough
bullHoarseness or sore throat
bullRegurgitation of food or sour liquid (acid reflux)
bullSensation of a lump in your throat
When to see a doctor
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience chest pain especially if you have other signs and symptoms such as shortness of breath or jaw or arm pain These may be signs and symptoms of a heart attack
Make an appointment with your doctor if you experience severe or frequent GERD symptoms If you take over-the-counter medications for heartburn more than twice a week see your doctor
A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions
and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

Do you need inner peace in your life
I am passing this on to you because it definitely
works and we could all use a little more
calmness in our lives By following simple advice
heard on the Dr Phil show you too can find
inner peace Dr Phil proclaimed The way to
achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you
have started but never finished
So I looked around my house to find all the
things I started and hadnt finished and before
leaving the house this morning I finished off a
bottle of Merlot a bottle of Baileys Irish Cream
a package of Oreos the remainder of my old
Prozac prescription the rest of the cheesecake
some Doritos a box of chocolates and a half
bottle of Captain Morgan
You have no idea how freaking good I feel right
now Happy New Year

GERD ndash Gastroesophageal Reflux
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic digestive disease GERD occurs when stomach acid or occasionally stomach content flows back into your food pipe (esophagus) The backwash (reflux) irritates the lining of your esophagus and causes GERD
Both acid reflux and heartburn are common digestive conditions that many people experience from time to time When these signs and symptoms occur at least twice each week or interfere with your daily life or when your doctor can see damage to your esophagus you may be diagnosed with GERD
Most people can manage the discomfort of GERD with lifestyle changes and over-the-counter medications But some people with GERD may need stronger medications or even surgery to reduce symptoms
GERD signs and symptoms include
bullA burning sensation in your chest (heartburn) sometimes spreading to your throat along with a sour taste in your mouth
bullChest pain
bullDifficulty swallowing (dysphagia)
bullDry cough
bullHoarseness or sore throat
bullRegurgitation of food or sour liquid (acid reflux)
bullSensation of a lump in your throat
When to see a doctor
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience chest pain especially if you have other signs and symptoms such as shortness of breath or jaw or arm pain These may be signs and symptoms of a heart attack
Make an appointment with your doctor if you experience severe or frequent GERD symptoms If you take over-the-counter medications for heartburn more than twice a week see your doctor
A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions
and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

GERD ndash Gastroesophageal Reflux
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic digestive disease GERD occurs when stomach acid or occasionally stomach content flows back into your food pipe (esophagus) The backwash (reflux) irritates the lining of your esophagus and causes GERD
Both acid reflux and heartburn are common digestive conditions that many people experience from time to time When these signs and symptoms occur at least twice each week or interfere with your daily life or when your doctor can see damage to your esophagus you may be diagnosed with GERD
Most people can manage the discomfort of GERD with lifestyle changes and over-the-counter medications But some people with GERD may need stronger medications or even surgery to reduce symptoms
GERD signs and symptoms include
bullA burning sensation in your chest (heartburn) sometimes spreading to your throat along with a sour taste in your mouth
bullChest pain
bullDifficulty swallowing (dysphagia)
bullDry cough
bullHoarseness or sore throat
bullRegurgitation of food or sour liquid (acid reflux)
bullSensation of a lump in your throat
When to see a doctor
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience chest pain especially if you have other signs and symptoms such as shortness of breath or jaw or arm pain These may be signs and symptoms of a heart attack
Make an appointment with your doctor if you experience severe or frequent GERD symptoms If you take over-the-counter medications for heartburn more than twice a week see your doctor

GERD ndash Gastroesophageal Reflux
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic digestive disease GERD occurs when stomach acid or occasionally stomach content flows back into your food pipe (esophagus) The backwash (reflux) irritates the lining of your esophagus and causes GERD
Both acid reflux and heartburn are common digestive conditions that many people experience from time to time When these signs and symptoms occur at least twice each week or interfere with your daily life or when your doctor can see damage to your esophagus you may be diagnosed with GERD
Most people can manage the discomfort of GERD with lifestyle changes and over-the-counter medications But some people with GERD may need stronger medications or even surgery to reduce symptoms
GERD signs and symptoms include
bullA burning sensation in your chest (heartburn) sometimes spreading to your throat along with a sour taste in your mouth
bullChest pain
bullDifficulty swallowing (dysphagia)
bullDry cough
bullHoarseness or sore throat
bullRegurgitation of food or sour liquid (acid reflux)
bullSensation of a lump in your throat
When to see a doctor
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience chest pain especially if you have other signs and symptoms such as shortness of breath or jaw or arm pain These may be signs and symptoms of a heart attack
Make an appointment with your doctor if you experience severe or frequent GERD symptoms If you take over-the-counter medications for heartburn more than twice a week see your doctor

and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

GERD ndash Gastroesophageal Reflux
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic digestive disease GERD occurs when stomach acid or occasionally stomach content flows back into your food pipe (esophagus) The backwash (reflux) irritates the lining of your esophagus and causes GERD
Both acid reflux and heartburn are common digestive conditions that many people experience from time to time When these signs and symptoms occur at least twice each week or interfere with your daily life or when your doctor can see damage to your esophagus you may be diagnosed with GERD
Most people can manage the discomfort of GERD with lifestyle changes and over-the-counter medications But some people with GERD may need stronger medications or even surgery to reduce symptoms
GERD signs and symptoms include
bullA burning sensation in your chest (heartburn) sometimes spreading to your throat along with a sour taste in your mouth
bullChest pain
bullDifficulty swallowing (dysphagia)
bullDry cough
bullHoarseness or sore throat
bullRegurgitation of food or sour liquid (acid reflux)
bullSensation of a lump in your throat
When to see a doctor
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience chest pain especially if you have other signs and symptoms such as shortness of breath or jaw or arm pain These may be signs and symptoms of a heart attack
Make an appointment with your doctor if you experience severe or frequent GERD symptoms If you take over-the-counter medications for heartburn more than twice a week see your doctor

GERD ndash Gastroesophageal Reflux
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic digestive disease GERD occurs when stomach acid or occasionally stomach content flows back into your food pipe (esophagus) The backwash (reflux) irritates the lining of your esophagus and causes GERD
Both acid reflux and heartburn are common digestive conditions that many people experience from time to time When these signs and symptoms occur at least twice each week or interfere with your daily life or when your doctor can see damage to your esophagus you may be diagnosed with GERD
Most people can manage the discomfort of GERD with lifestyle changes and over-the-counter medications But some people with GERD may need stronger medications or even surgery to reduce symptoms
GERD signs and symptoms include
bullA burning sensation in your chest (heartburn) sometimes spreading to your throat along with a sour taste in your mouth
bullChest pain
bullDifficulty swallowing (dysphagia)
bullDry cough
bullHoarseness or sore throat
bullRegurgitation of food or sour liquid (acid reflux)
bullSensation of a lump in your throat
When to see a doctor
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience chest pain especially if you have other signs and symptoms such as shortness of breath or jaw or arm pain These may be signs and symptoms of a heart attack
Make an appointment with your doctor if you experience severe or frequent GERD symptoms If you take over-the-counter medications for heartburn more than twice a week see your doctor

and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

GERD ndash Gastroesophageal Reflux
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic digestive disease GERD occurs when stomach acid or occasionally stomach content flows back into your food pipe (esophagus) The backwash (reflux) irritates the lining of your esophagus and causes GERD
Both acid reflux and heartburn are common digestive conditions that many people experience from time to time When these signs and symptoms occur at least twice each week or interfere with your daily life or when your doctor can see damage to your esophagus you may be diagnosed with GERD
Most people can manage the discomfort of GERD with lifestyle changes and over-the-counter medications But some people with GERD may need stronger medications or even surgery to reduce symptoms
GERD signs and symptoms include
bullA burning sensation in your chest (heartburn) sometimes spreading to your throat along with a sour taste in your mouth
bullChest pain
bullDifficulty swallowing (dysphagia)
bullDry cough
bullHoarseness or sore throat
bullRegurgitation of food or sour liquid (acid reflux)
bullSensation of a lump in your throat
When to see a doctor
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience chest pain especially if you have other signs and symptoms such as shortness of breath or jaw or arm pain These may be signs and symptoms of a heart attack
Make an appointment with your doctor if you experience severe or frequent GERD symptoms If you take over-the-counter medications for heartburn more than twice a week see your doctor

and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

GERD ndash Gastroesophageal Reflux
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic digestive disease GERD occurs when stomach acid or occasionally stomach content flows back into your food pipe (esophagus) The backwash (reflux) irritates the lining of your esophagus and causes GERD
Both acid reflux and heartburn are common digestive conditions that many people experience from time to time When these signs and symptoms occur at least twice each week or interfere with your daily life or when your doctor can see damage to your esophagus you may be diagnosed with GERD
Most people can manage the discomfort of GERD with lifestyle changes and over-the-counter medications But some people with GERD may need stronger medications or even surgery to reduce symptoms
GERD signs and symptoms include
bullA burning sensation in your chest (heartburn) sometimes spreading to your throat along with a sour taste in your mouth
bullChest pain
bullDifficulty swallowing (dysphagia)
bullDry cough
bullHoarseness or sore throat
bullRegurgitation of food or sour liquid (acid reflux)
bullSensation of a lump in your throat
When to see a doctor
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience chest pain especially if you have other signs and symptoms such as shortness of breath or jaw or arm pain These may be signs and symptoms of a heart attack
Make an appointment with your doctor if you experience severe or frequent GERD symptoms If you take over-the-counter medications for heartburn more than twice a week see your doctor

and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village
