The three lsquoMousketeersrsquo Jesse the Sheltie Buttons the Lhasa Apso and Zak the Schnauzer were a big part of the original bushwalking dogs who always accompanied us when we first started the trails Much to the surprise of some these 3 little scamps also won the top 3 prizes for the lsquoMost Obedient Dogrsquo category at the very first dog show we held in the Village in 2005 No doubt they are together again and gone lsquoWalk-Aboutrsquo

ZAK the little Schnauzer with the big ego is sadly no longer with us While I really miss the little guy I know he has gone to be with his previous owner Jean Henry

Written by a third grader on what his grandparents do

After Christmas a teacher asked her young pupils how they spent their holiday away from school

One child wrote the following

We always used to spend the holidays with Grandma and Grandpa They used to live in a

big brick house but Grandpa got retarded and they moved to Florida Now they live in a tin box

that has wheels but itrsquos strapped to the ground They ride around on their bicycles and wear

name tags because they dont know who they are anymore They go to a building called a wreck

center but they must have got it fixed because it is all okay now they do exercises there but they

dont do them very well There is a swimming pool too but they all just jump up and down in it with

hats on

At their gate there is a doll house with a little old man sitting in it He watches all day so nobody

can escape Sometimes they sneak out and go cruising in their golf carts Nobody there cooks

they just eat out And they eat the same thing every night - early birds Some of the people cant

get out past the man in the doll house The ones who do get out bring food back to the wrecked

center for pot luck My Grandma says that Grandpa worked all his life to earn his retardment and

says I should work hard so I can be retarded someday too When I earn my retardment I want to

be the man in the doll house Then I will let people out so they can visit their grandchildren

PRICELESS

Sometimes little ones say embarrassing things

When yoursquore alone you donrsquot mind

My little one was in the mall the other day and she hollered ldquoMa I need to peerdquo

With 1000 strangers around Her Ma said ldquoDonrsquot say that say you got to whisper

Of course nobody tells Daddy anything While I was watching football on Monday

night with 4 of my best buddies in the living room my little one came up and said

ldquoDaddy I got to whisperrdquo I said ldquocome whisper in Daddyrsquos earrdquo

ldquoCOMMON SENSE OBITUARYrdquo

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend Common Sense who has been with us for many years No one knows for sure how old he was since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape He will be remembered as having cultivated such valued lessons as

Knowing when to come in out of the rain

Why the early bird gets the worm

Life isnrsquot always fair

Maybe it was my fault

Common sense lived by simple sound financial policies (Donrsquot spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (Adults not children are in charge)

His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student only worsened his condition

Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children

It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion

Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses and criminals received better treatment than their victims

Common Sense took a beating when you couldnrsquot defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault

Common Sense finally gave up the will to live after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot She spilled a little in her lap and was promptly awarded a huge settlement

Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents Truth and Trust by his wife Discretion by his daughter Responsibility and son Reason

He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers I Know My Rights I Want It Now Someone Else is to Blame and Irsquom a Victim

Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone If you still remember him pass this on If not join the majority and do nothing

On our November 4th dance we were ldquobombardedrdquo as Paws amp Taws came with

2 squares to retrieve their banner and Grand Squares had enough members to steal our banner Fortunately Beausejour Swinging Squares did not have enough members otherwise our President Co-chairs would have had to forfeit their blouses

Co-chairs Laura and Henriette have instituted a special ldquothemerdquo by wearing a different hat each dancing night this season and this night Laurarsquos was definitely different as it has directions on how to wear it ldquoThe Hatrdquo was a hit and was passed around all evening

November 18th Pie Night was enjoyed by 4+ squares including visitors from

Beausejour Swinging Squares and Whirlaway Westerners

Our Christmas Party dance will be December 16th with finger food on the

menu

Merry Christmas and Good Health in 2015

WORSHIPERS WILL WORSHIP THE FATHER IN SPIRIT AND TRUTH

YES THE FATHER WANTS SUCH PEOPLE TO WORSHIP HIM GOD

believers We live in a world that is teeming with temptation and distractions - a world where

good and evil struggle in a constant battle to win our hearts and souls Our challenge is to ensure

that we cast out lot on the side of God When we worship God faithfully and fervently we are

blessed Come worship with us on Sundays at 10 AM at the LUD Hall in Richer Everyone is

After a meeting several days ago I couldnt find my keys I quickly gave myself a personal TSA Pat Down

They werent in my pockets Suddenly I realized I must have left them in the car

Frantically I headed for the parking lot My husband has scolded me many times for leaving my keys in the cars ignition Hes afraid that the car could be stolen As I looked around the parking lot I realized he was right

The parking lot was empty I immediately called the police I gave them my location confessed that I had left my keys in the car and that it had been stolen

Then I made the most difficult call of all to my husband I left my keys in the car and its been stolen

There was a moment of silence I thought the call had been disconnected but then I heard his voice

Are you kidding me he barked I dropped you off

Now it was my turn to be silent

Embarrassed I said Well come and get me

He retorted I will as soon as I convince this cop that I didnt steal your damn car

P A R A D I S E V I L L A G E N E W S

Winter in Manitoba ndash 2001

My wife Linda and I made the decision to buy a brand new vehicle ndash a FORD ESCAPE Like all things new it didnrsquot take long to mark it up ndash we were involved in an accident and consequently our car had to go to the body shop for repairs We had car replacement coverage from MPIC and Frontier Toyota on Regent Avenue in Winnipeg was to supply us with a vehicle Linda and I took the Escape to the auto body repair shop and they in turn drove us over to Frontier who supplied us with a nice new Toyota vehicle Okay we are set

I had Linda drop me off at our house on Talbot Avenue She was going shopping so I asked her to take my pay cheque and cash it for me while she was out When Linda returned home she couldnrsquot open the garage ndash she got out of the Toyota to come in and get the garage opener - one problem - neither of us remembered to take it out of the Escape The Toyota LOCKED UP TIGHT as soon as she got out of it and left the keys in the ignition and the car running ldquoNo problemrdquo says Linda ldquoGive me the spare key and Irsquoll go and move the car so it isnrsquot blocking the lanerdquo The dealer did not give us a spare key Now the car is idling away half way blocking the back lane and her purse WITH MY CASHED PAY CHEQUE in it is sitting in plain view on the passenger seat Keeping calm I called Frontier ndash whoops ndash after 600pm ndash closed

It is -40 degrees outside I call CAA for assistance They advise it will be approximately 2 hours before they can come and help us out I put on my snowmobile suit and go outside to stand guard over my pay cheque Four hours go by ndash no CAA It is now 1000pm and Irsquom darned cold - I call CAA again ndash did they forget about me Oh no they tell me it wonrsquot be long now there is a truck in the area At 1100pm with no CAA in sight I fire up my computer and start looking for an emergency call number for Toyota Success and bonus - the number is operative 247 I place my call and explain my situation ndash the lady who answers is in Alabama ndash she has never heard of Manitoba never mind temperatures of -40 degrees however she is sure she can find assistance within the hour Okay ndash it is now 100am ndash Irsquom no longer cold ndash Irsquom numb and my patience is getting pretty thin I call the lady back ndash yes she has found assistance ndash CAA I call CAA again ndash I am assured that CAA customers come first and that I am at the top of their list ndash the truck should be at my house within minutes Lo and behold ndash 200am and what did I see ndash the CAA tow truck The driver advised he had a special tool to open the door with ndash it would only be a matter of min-utes He got it stuck

The CAA dispatcher says that their expert is just coming off shift ndash hersquod be right over 300am

The expert has now arrived He too got the door jimmy stuck Okay we now have a jimmy stuck in the window of the driversrsquo door and in the window of the passengersrsquo door Neither can be removed At this point Irsquom done ndash It is 500am I manually open the garage door from the inside have CAA push the car into the garage ndash I leave the garage door slightly open to allow exhaust to escape as the car is still idling away Finally at 800am I get a spare key from Frontier Linda and I drove that Toyota with the jimmy bars banging against the car roof for a week Frontier had to take both doors apart in order to remove them

December 2014 - Coronary Artery Disease

Coronary artery disease develops when your coronary arteries mdash the major blood vessels that supply your heart with blood oxygen and nutrients mdash become damaged or diseased Cholesterol-containing deposits (plaque) in your arteries and inflammation are usually to blame for coronary artery disease

When plaques build up they narrow your coronary arteries decreasing blood flow to your heart Eventually the decreased blood flow may cause chest pain (angina) shortness of breath or other coronary artery disease signs and symptoms A complete blockage can cause a heart attack

Because coronary artery disease often develops over decades it can go unnoticed until you have a heart attack But theres plenty you can do to prevent and treat coronary artery disease Start by committing to a healthy lifestyle

If your coronary arteries narrow they cant supply enough oxygen-rich blood to your heart mdash especially when its beating hard such as during exercise At first the decreased blood flow may not cause any coronary artery disease symptoms As the plaques continue to build up in your coronary arteries however you may develop coronary artery disease signs and symptoms including

bullChest pain (angina) You may feel pressure or tightness in your chest as if someone were standing on your chest The pain referred to as angina is usually triggered by physical or emotional stress It typically goes away within minutes after stopping the stressful activity In some people especially women this pain may be fleeting or sharp and felt in the abdomen back or arm

bullShortness of breath If your heart cant pump enough blood to meet your bodys needs you may develop shortness of breath or extreme fatigue with exertion

bullHeart attack A completely blocked coronary artery may cause a heart attack The classic signs and symptoms of a heart attack include crushing pressure in your chest and pain in your shoulder or arm sometimes with shortness of breath and sweating Women are somewhat more likely than men are to experience less typical signs and symptoms of a heart attack such as nausea and back or jaw pain Sometimes a heart attack occurs without any apparent signs or symptoms

When to see a doctor

If you suspect youre having a heart attack immediately call 911 or your local emergency number If you dont have access to emergency medical services have someone drive you to the nearest hospital Drive yourself only as a last resort

If you have risk factors for coronary artery disease mdash such as high blood pressure high cholesterol tobacco use diabetes or obesity mdash talk to your doctor He or she may want to test you for the condition especially if you have signs or symptoms of narrowed arteries Even if you dont have evidence of coronary artery disease your doctor may recommend aggressive treatment of your risk factors Early diagnosis and

treatment may stop progression of coronary artery disease and help prevent a heart attack

The three lsquoMousketeersrsquo Jesse the Sheltie Buttons the Lhasa Apso and Zak the Schnauzer were a big part of the original bushwalking dogs who always accompanied us when we first started the trails Much to the surprise of some these 3 little scamps also won the top 3 prizes for the lsquoMost Obedient Dogrsquo category at the very first dog show we held in the Village in 2005 No doubt they are together again and gone lsquoWalk-Aboutrsquo

ZAK the little Schnauzer with the big ego is sadly no longer with us While I really miss the little guy I know he has gone to be with his previous owner Jean Henry

Written by a third grader on what his grandparents do

After Christmas a teacher asked her young pupils how they spent their holiday away from school

One child wrote the following

We always used to spend the holidays with Grandma and Grandpa They used to live in a

big brick house but Grandpa got retarded and they moved to Florida Now they live in a tin box

that has wheels but itrsquos strapped to the ground They ride around on their bicycles and wear

name tags because they dont know who they are anymore They go to a building called a wreck

center but they must have got it fixed because it is all okay now they do exercises there but they

dont do them very well There is a swimming pool too but they all just jump up and down in it with

hats on

At their gate there is a doll house with a little old man sitting in it He watches all day so nobody

can escape Sometimes they sneak out and go cruising in their golf carts Nobody there cooks

they just eat out And they eat the same thing every night - early birds Some of the people cant

get out past the man in the doll house The ones who do get out bring food back to the wrecked

center for pot luck My Grandma says that Grandpa worked all his life to earn his retardment and

says I should work hard so I can be retarded someday too When I earn my retardment I want to

be the man in the doll house Then I will let people out so they can visit their grandchildren

PRICELESS

Sometimes little ones say embarrassing things

When yoursquore alone you donrsquot mind

My little one was in the mall the other day and she hollered ldquoMa I need to peerdquo

With 1000 strangers around Her Ma said ldquoDonrsquot say that say you got to whisper

Of course nobody tells Daddy anything While I was watching football on Monday

night with 4 of my best buddies in the living room my little one came up and said

ldquoDaddy I got to whisperrdquo I said ldquocome whisper in Daddyrsquos earrdquo

ldquoCOMMON SENSE OBITUARYrdquo

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend Common Sense who has been with us for many years No one knows for sure how old he was since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape He will be remembered as having cultivated such valued lessons as

Knowing when to come in out of the rain

Why the early bird gets the worm

Life isnrsquot always fair

Maybe it was my fault

Common sense lived by simple sound financial policies (Donrsquot spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (Adults not children are in charge)

His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student only worsened his condition

Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children

It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion

Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses and criminals received better treatment than their victims

Common Sense took a beating when you couldnrsquot defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault

Common Sense finally gave up the will to live after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot She spilled a little in her lap and was promptly awarded a huge settlement

Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents Truth and Trust by his wife Discretion by his daughter Responsibility and son Reason

He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers I Know My Rights I Want It Now Someone Else is to Blame and Irsquom a Victim

Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone If you still remember him pass this on If not join the majority and do nothing

On our November 4th dance we were ldquobombardedrdquo as Paws amp Taws came with

2 squares to retrieve their banner and Grand Squares had enough members to steal our banner Fortunately Beausejour Swinging Squares did not have enough members otherwise our President Co-chairs would have had to forfeit their blouses

Co-chairs Laura and Henriette have instituted a special ldquothemerdquo by wearing a different hat each dancing night this season and this night Laurarsquos was definitely different as it has directions on how to wear it ldquoThe Hatrdquo was a hit and was passed around all evening

November 18th Pie Night was enjoyed by 4+ squares including visitors from

Beausejour Swinging Squares and Whirlaway Westerners

Our Christmas Party dance will be December 16th with finger food on the

menu

After a meeting several days ago I couldnt find my keys I quickly gave myself a personal TSA Pat Down

They werent in my pockets Suddenly I realized I must have left them in the car

Frantically I headed for the parking lot My husband has scolded me many times for leaving my keys in the cars ignition Hes afraid that the car could be stolen As I looked around the parking lot I realized he was right

The parking lot was empty I immediately called the police I gave them my location confessed that I had left my keys in the car and that it had been stolen

Then I made the most difficult call of all to my husband I left my keys in the car and its been stolen

There was a moment of silence I thought the call had been disconnected but then I heard his voice

Are you kidding me he barked I dropped you off

Now it was my turn to be silent

Embarrassed I said Well come and get me

He retorted I will as soon as I convince this cop that I didnt steal your damn car

Winter in Manitoba ndash 2001

My wife Linda and I made the decision to buy a brand new vehicle ndash a FORD ESCAPE Like all things new it didnrsquot take long to mark it up ndash we were involved in an accident and consequently our car had to go to the body shop for repairs We had car replacement coverage from MPIC and Frontier Toyota on Regent Avenue in Winnipeg was to supply us with a vehicle Linda and I took the Escape to the auto body repair shop and they in turn drove us over to Frontier who supplied us with a nice new Toyota vehicle Okay we are set

I had Linda drop me off at our house on Talbot Avenue She was going shopping so I asked her to take my pay cheque and cash it for me while she was out When Linda returned home she couldnrsquot open the garage ndash she got out of the Toyota to come in and get the garage opener - one problem - neither of us remembered to take it out of the Escape The Toyota LOCKED UP TIGHT as soon as she got out of it and left the keys in the ignition and the car running ldquoNo problemrdquo says Linda ldquoGive me the spare key and Irsquoll go and move the car so it isnrsquot blocking the lanerdquo The dealer did not give us a spare key Now the car is idling away half way blocking the back lane and her purse WITH MY CASHED PAY CHEQUE in it is sitting in plain view on the passenger seat Keeping calm I called Frontier ndash whoops ndash after 600pm ndash closed

It is -40 degrees outside I call CAA for assistance They advise it will be approximately 2 hours before they can come and help us out I put on my snowmobile suit and go outside to stand guard over my pay cheque Four hours go by ndash no CAA It is now 1000pm and Irsquom darned cold - I call CAA again ndash did they forget about me Oh no they tell me it wonrsquot be long now there is a truck in the area At 1100pm with no CAA in sight I fire up my computer and start looking for an emergency call number for Toyota Success and bonus - the number is operative 247 I place my call and explain my situation ndash the lady who answers is in Alabama ndash she has never heard of Manitoba never mind temperatures of -40 degrees however she is sure she can find assistance within the hour Okay ndash it is now 100am ndash Irsquom no longer cold ndash Irsquom numb and my patience is getting pretty thin I call the lady back ndash yes she has found assistance ndash CAA I call CAA again ndash I am assured that CAA customers come first and that I am at the top of their list ndash the truck should be at my house within minutes Lo and behold ndash 200am and what did I see ndash the CAA tow truck The driver advised he had a special tool to open the door with ndash it would only be a matter of min-utes He got it stuck

The CAA dispatcher says that their expert is just coming off shift ndash hersquod be right over 300am

The expert has now arrived He too got the door jimmy stuck Okay we now have a jimmy stuck in the window of the driversrsquo door and in the window of the passengersrsquo door Neither can be removed At this point Irsquom done ndash It is 500am I manually open the garage door from the inside have CAA push the car into the garage ndash I leave the garage door slightly open to allow exhaust to escape as the car is still idling away Finally at 800am I get a spare key from Frontier Linda and I drove that Toyota with the jimmy bars banging against the car roof for a week Frontier had to take both doors apart in order to remove them

December 2014 - Coronary Artery Disease

Coronary artery disease develops when your coronary arteries mdash the major blood vessels that supply your heart with blood oxygen and nutrients mdash become damaged or diseased Cholesterol-containing deposits (plaque) in your arteries and inflammation are usually to blame for coronary artery disease

When plaques build up they narrow your coronary arteries decreasing blood flow to your heart Eventually the decreased blood flow may cause chest pain (angina) shortness of breath or other coronary artery disease signs and symptoms A complete blockage can cause a heart attack

Because coronary artery disease often develops over decades it can go unnoticed until you have a heart attack But theres plenty you can do to prevent and treat coronary artery disease Start by committing to a healthy lifestyle

If your coronary arteries narrow they cant supply enough oxygen-rich blood to your heart mdash especially when its beating hard such as during exercise At first the decreased blood flow may not cause any coronary artery disease symptoms As the plaques continue to build up in your coronary arteries however you may develop coronary artery disease signs and symptoms including

bullChest pain (angina) You may feel pressure or tightness in your chest as if someone were standing on your chest The pain referred to as angina is usually triggered by physical or emotional stress It typically goes away within minutes after stopping the stressful activity In some people especially women this pain may be fleeting or sharp and felt in the abdomen back or arm

bullShortness of breath If your heart cant pump enough blood to meet your bodys needs you may develop shortness of breath or extreme fatigue with exertion

bullHeart attack A completely blocked coronary artery may cause a heart attack The classic signs and symptoms of a heart attack include crushing pressure in your chest and pain in your shoulder or arm sometimes with shortness of breath and sweating Women are somewhat more likely than men are to experience less typical signs and symptoms of a heart attack such as nausea and back or jaw pain Sometimes a heart attack occurs without any apparent signs or symptoms

When to see a doctor

If you suspect youre having a heart attack immediately call 911 or your local emergency number If you dont have access to emergency medical services have someone drive you to the nearest hospital Drive yourself only as a last resort

If you have risk factors for coronary artery disease mdash such as high blood pressure high cholesterol tobacco use diabetes or obesity mdash talk to your doctor He or she may want to test you for the condition especially if you have signs or symptoms of narrowed arteries Even if you dont have evidence of coronary artery disease your doctor may recommend aggressive treatment of your risk factors Early diagnosis and

treatment may stop progression of coronary artery disease and help prevent a heart attack

Written by a third grader on what his grandparents do

After Christmas a teacher asked her young pupils how they spent their holiday away from school

One child wrote the following

We always used to spend the holidays with Grandma and Grandpa They used to live in a

big brick house but Grandpa got retarded and they moved to Florida Now they live in a tin box

that has wheels but itrsquos strapped to the ground They ride around on their bicycles and wear

name tags because they dont know who they are anymore They go to a building called a wreck

center but they must have got it fixed because it is all okay now they do exercises there but they

dont do them very well There is a swimming pool too but they all just jump up and down in it with

hats on

At their gate there is a doll house with a little old man sitting in it He watches all day so nobody

can escape Sometimes they sneak out and go cruising in their golf carts Nobody there cooks

they just eat out And they eat the same thing every night - early birds Some of the people cant

get out past the man in the doll house The ones who do get out bring food back to the wrecked

center for pot luck My Grandma says that Grandpa worked all his life to earn his retardment and

says I should work hard so I can be retarded someday too When I earn my retardment I want to

be the man in the doll house Then I will let people out so they can visit their grandchildren

PRICELESS

Sometimes little ones say embarrassing things

When yoursquore alone you donrsquot mind

My little one was in the mall the other day and she hollered ldquoMa I need to peerdquo

With 1000 strangers around Her Ma said ldquoDonrsquot say that say you got to whisper

Of course nobody tells Daddy anything While I was watching football on Monday

night with 4 of my best buddies in the living room my little one came up and said

ldquoDaddy I got to whisperrdquo I said ldquocome whisper in Daddyrsquos earrdquo

ldquoCOMMON SENSE OBITUARYrdquo

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend Common Sense who has been with us for many years No one knows for sure how old he was since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape He will be remembered as having cultivated such valued lessons as

Knowing when to come in out of the rain

Why the early bird gets the worm

Life isnrsquot always fair

Maybe it was my fault

Common sense lived by simple sound financial policies (Donrsquot spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (Adults not children are in charge)

His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student only worsened his condition

Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children

It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion

Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses and criminals received better treatment than their victims

Common Sense took a beating when you couldnrsquot defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault

Common Sense finally gave up the will to live after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot She spilled a little in her lap and was promptly awarded a huge settlement

Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents Truth and Trust by his wife Discretion by his daughter Responsibility and son Reason

He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers I Know My Rights I Want It Now Someone Else is to Blame and Irsquom a Victim

Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone If you still remember him pass this on If not join the majority and do nothing

On our November 4th dance we were ldquobombardedrdquo as Paws amp Taws came with

2 squares to retrieve their banner and Grand Squares had enough members to steal our banner Fortunately Beausejour Swinging Squares did not have enough members otherwise our President Co-chairs would have had to forfeit their blouses

Co-chairs Laura and Henriette have instituted a special ldquothemerdquo by wearing a different hat each dancing night this season and this night Laurarsquos was definitely different as it has directions on how to wear it ldquoThe Hatrdquo was a hit and was passed around all evening

November 18th Pie Night was enjoyed by 4+ squares including visitors from

Beausejour Swinging Squares and Whirlaway Westerners

Our Christmas Party dance will be December 16th with finger food on the

menu

believers We live in a world that is teeming with temptation and distractions - a world where

good and evil struggle in a constant battle to win our hearts and souls Our challenge is to ensure

that we cast out lot on the side of God When we worship God faithfully and fervently we are

blessed Come worship with us on Sundays at 10 AM at the LUD Hall in Richer Everyone is

After a meeting several days ago I couldnt find my keys I quickly gave myself a personal TSA Pat Down

They werent in my pockets Suddenly I realized I must have left them in the car

Frantically I headed for the parking lot My husband has scolded me many times for leaving my keys in the cars ignition Hes afraid that the car could be stolen As I looked around the parking lot I realized he was right

The parking lot was empty I immediately called the police I gave them my location confessed that I had left my keys in the car and that it had been stolen

Then I made the most difficult call of all to my husband I left my keys in the car and its been stolen

There was a moment of silence I thought the call had been disconnected but then I heard his voice

Are you kidding me he barked I dropped you off

Now it was my turn to be silent

Embarrassed I said Well come and get me

He retorted I will as soon as I convince this cop that I didnt steal your damn car

Welcome to the golden years

Winter in Manitoba ndash 2001

My wife Linda and I made the decision to buy a brand new vehicle ndash a FORD ESCAPE Like all things new it didnrsquot take long to mark it up ndash we were involved in an accident and consequently our car had to go to the body shop for repairs We had car replacement coverage from MPIC and Frontier Toyota on Regent Avenue in Winnipeg was to supply us with a vehicle Linda and I took the Escape to the auto body repair shop and they in turn drove us over to Frontier who supplied us with a nice new Toyota vehicle Okay we are set

I had Linda drop me off at our house on Talbot Avenue She was going shopping so I asked her to take my pay cheque and cash it for me while she was out When Linda returned home she couldnrsquot open the garage ndash she got out of the Toyota to come in and get the garage opener - one problem - neither of us remembered to take it out of the Escape The Toyota LOCKED UP TIGHT as soon as she got out of it and left the keys in the ignition and the car running ldquoNo problemrdquo says Linda ldquoGive me the spare key and Irsquoll go and move the car so it isnrsquot blocking the lanerdquo The dealer did not give us a spare key Now the car is idling away half way blocking the back lane and her purse WITH MY CASHED PAY CHEQUE in it is sitting in plain view on the passenger seat Keeping calm I called Frontier ndash whoops ndash after 600pm ndash closed

It is -40 degrees outside I call CAA for assistance They advise it will be approximately 2 hours before they can come and help us out I put on my snowmobile suit and go outside to stand guard over my pay cheque Four hours go by ndash no CAA It is now 1000pm and Irsquom darned cold - I call CAA again ndash did they forget about me Oh no they tell me it wonrsquot be long now there is a truck in the area At 1100pm with no CAA in sight I fire up my computer and start looking for an emergency call number for Toyota Success and bonus - the number is operative 247 I place my call and explain my situation ndash the lady who answers is in Alabama ndash she has never heard of Manitoba never mind temperatures of -40 degrees however she is sure she can find assistance within the hour Okay ndash it is now 100am ndash Irsquom no longer cold ndash Irsquom numb and my patience is getting pretty thin I call the lady back ndash yes she has found assistance ndash CAA I call CAA again ndash I am assured that CAA customers come first and that I am at the top of their list ndash the truck should be at my house within minutes Lo and behold ndash 200am and what did I see ndash the CAA tow truck The driver advised he had a special tool to open the door with ndash it would only be a matter of min-utes He got it stuck

The CAA dispatcher says that their expert is just coming off shift ndash hersquod be right over 300am

The expert has now arrived He too got the door jimmy stuck Okay we now have a jimmy stuck in the window of the driversrsquo door and in the window of the passengersrsquo door Neither can be removed At this point Irsquom done ndash It is 500am I manually open the garage door from the inside have CAA push the car into the garage ndash I leave the garage door slightly open to allow exhaust to escape as the car is still idling away Finally at 800am I get a spare key from Frontier Linda and I drove that Toyota with the jimmy bars banging against the car roof for a week Frontier had to take both doors apart in order to remove them

December 2014 - Coronary Artery Disease

Coronary artery disease develops when your coronary arteries mdash the major blood vessels that supply your heart with blood oxygen and nutrients mdash become damaged or diseased Cholesterol-containing deposits (plaque) in your arteries and inflammation are usually to blame for coronary artery disease

When plaques build up they narrow your coronary arteries decreasing blood flow to your heart Eventually the decreased blood flow may cause chest pain (angina) shortness of breath or other coronary artery disease signs and symptoms A complete blockage can cause a heart attack

Because coronary artery disease often develops over decades it can go unnoticed until you have a heart attack But theres plenty you can do to prevent and treat coronary artery disease Start by committing to a healthy lifestyle

If your coronary arteries narrow they cant supply enough oxygen-rich blood to your heart mdash especially when its beating hard such as during exercise At first the decreased blood flow may not cause any coronary artery disease symptoms As the plaques continue to build up in your coronary arteries however you may develop coronary artery disease signs and symptoms including

bullChest pain (angina) You may feel pressure or tightness in your chest as if someone were standing on your chest The pain referred to as angina is usually triggered by physical or emotional stress It typically goes away within minutes after stopping the stressful activity In some people especially women this pain may be fleeting or sharp and felt in the abdomen back or arm

bullShortness of breath If your heart cant pump enough blood to meet your bodys needs you may develop shortness of breath or extreme fatigue with exertion

bullHeart attack A completely blocked coronary artery may cause a heart attack The classic signs and symptoms of a heart attack include crushing pressure in your chest and pain in your shoulder or arm sometimes with shortness of breath and sweating Women are somewhat more likely than men are to experience less typical signs and symptoms of a heart attack such as nausea and back or jaw pain Sometimes a heart attack occurs without any apparent signs or symptoms

When to see a doctor

If you suspect youre having a heart attack immediately call 911 or your local emergency number If you dont have access to emergency medical services have someone drive you to the nearest hospital Drive yourself only as a last resort

If you have risk factors for coronary artery disease mdash such as high blood pressure high cholesterol tobacco use diabetes or obesity mdash talk to your doctor He or she may want to test you for the condition especially if you have signs or symptoms of narrowed arteries Even if you dont have evidence of coronary artery disease your doctor may recommend aggressive treatment of your risk factors Early diagnosis and

treatment may stop progression of coronary artery disease and help prevent a heart attack

Written by a third grader on what his grandparents do

After Christmas a teacher asked her young pupils how they spent their holiday away from school

One child wrote the following

We always used to spend the holidays with Grandma and Grandpa They used to live in a

big brick house but Grandpa got retarded and they moved to Florida Now they live in a tin box

that has wheels but itrsquos strapped to the ground They ride around on their bicycles and wear

name tags because they dont know who they are anymore They go to a building called a wreck

center but they must have got it fixed because it is all okay now they do exercises there but they

dont do them very well There is a swimming pool too but they all just jump up and down in it with

hats on

At their gate there is a doll house with a little old man sitting in it He watches all day so nobody

can escape Sometimes they sneak out and go cruising in their golf carts Nobody there cooks

they just eat out And they eat the same thing every night - early birds Some of the people cant

get out past the man in the doll house The ones who do get out bring food back to the wrecked

center for pot luck My Grandma says that Grandpa worked all his life to earn his retardment and

says I should work hard so I can be retarded someday too When I earn my retardment I want to

be the man in the doll house Then I will let people out so they can visit their grandchildren

PRICELESS

Sometimes little ones say embarrassing things

When yoursquore alone you donrsquot mind

My little one was in the mall the other day and she hollered ldquoMa I need to peerdquo

With 1000 strangers around Her Ma said ldquoDonrsquot say that say you got to whisper

Of course nobody tells Daddy anything While I was watching football on Monday

night with 4 of my best buddies in the living room my little one came up and said

ldquoDaddy I got to whisperrdquo I said ldquocome whisper in Daddyrsquos earrdquo

ldquoCOMMON SENSE OBITUARYrdquo

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend Common Sense who has been with us for many years No one knows for sure how old he was since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape He will be remembered as having cultivated such valued lessons as

Knowing when to come in out of the rain

Why the early bird gets the worm

Life isnrsquot always fair

Maybe it was my fault

Common sense lived by simple sound financial policies (Donrsquot spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (Adults not children are in charge)

His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student only worsened his condition

Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children

It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion

Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses and criminals received better treatment than their victims

Common Sense took a beating when you couldnrsquot defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault

Common Sense finally gave up the will to live after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot She spilled a little in her lap and was promptly awarded a huge settlement

Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents Truth and Trust by his wife Discretion by his daughter Responsibility and son Reason

He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers I Know My Rights I Want It Now Someone Else is to Blame and Irsquom a Victim

Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone If you still remember him pass this on If not join the majority and do nothing

On our November 4th dance we were ldquobombardedrdquo as Paws amp Taws came with

2 squares to retrieve their banner and Grand Squares had enough members to steal our banner Fortunately Beausejour Swinging Squares did not have enough members otherwise our President Co-chairs would have had to forfeit their blouses

Co-chairs Laura and Henriette have instituted a special ldquothemerdquo by wearing a different hat each dancing night this season and this night Laurarsquos was definitely different as it has directions on how to wear it ldquoThe Hatrdquo was a hit and was passed around all evening

November 18th Pie Night was enjoyed by 4+ squares including visitors from

Beausejour Swinging Squares and Whirlaway Westerners

Our Christmas Party dance will be December 16th with finger food on the

menu

After a meeting several days ago I couldnt find my keys I quickly gave myself a personal TSA Pat Down

They werent in my pockets Suddenly I realized I must have left them in the car

Frantically I headed for the parking lot My husband has scolded me many times for leaving my keys in the cars ignition Hes afraid that the car could be stolen As I looked around the parking lot I realized he was right

The parking lot was empty I immediately called the police I gave them my location confessed that I had left my keys in the car and that it had been stolen

Then I made the most difficult call of all to my husband I left my keys in the car and its been stolen

There was a moment of silence I thought the call had been disconnected but then I heard his voice

Are you kidding me he barked I dropped you off

Now it was my turn to be silent

Embarrassed I said Well come and get me

He retorted I will as soon as I convince this cop that I didnt steal your damn car

December 2014 - Coronary Artery Disease

Coronary artery disease develops when your coronary arteries mdash the major blood vessels that supply your heart with blood oxygen and nutrients mdash become damaged or diseased Cholesterol-containing deposits (plaque) in your arteries and inflammation are usually to blame for coronary artery disease

When plaques build up they narrow your coronary arteries decreasing blood flow to your heart Eventually the decreased blood flow may cause chest pain (angina) shortness of breath or other coronary artery disease signs and symptoms A complete blockage can cause a heart attack

Because coronary artery disease often develops over decades it can go unnoticed until you have a heart attack But theres plenty you can do to prevent and treat coronary artery disease Start by committing to a healthy lifestyle

If your coronary arteries narrow they cant supply enough oxygen-rich blood to your heart mdash especially when its beating hard such as during exercise At first the decreased blood flow may not cause any coronary artery disease symptoms As the plaques continue to build up in your coronary arteries however you may develop coronary artery disease signs and symptoms including

bullChest pain (angina) You may feel pressure or tightness in your chest as if someone were standing on your chest The pain referred to as angina is usually triggered by physical or emotional stress It typically goes away within minutes after stopping the stressful activity In some people especially women this pain may be fleeting or sharp and felt in the abdomen back or arm

bullShortness of breath If your heart cant pump enough blood to meet your bodys needs you may develop shortness of breath or extreme fatigue with exertion

bullHeart attack A completely blocked coronary artery may cause a heart attack The classic signs and symptoms of a heart attack include crushing pressure in your chest and pain in your shoulder or arm sometimes with shortness of breath and sweating Women are somewhat more likely than men are to experience less typical signs and symptoms of a heart attack such as nausea and back or jaw pain Sometimes a heart attack occurs without any apparent signs or symptoms

When to see a doctor

If you suspect youre having a heart attack immediately call 911 or your local emergency number If you dont have access to emergency medical services have someone drive you to the nearest hospital Drive yourself only as a last resort

If you have risk factors for coronary artery disease mdash such as high blood pressure high cholesterol tobacco use diabetes or obesity mdash talk to your doctor He or she may want to test you for the condition especially if you have signs or symptoms of narrowed arteries Even if you dont have evidence of coronary artery disease your doctor may recommend aggressive treatment of your risk factors Early diagnosis and

treatment may stop progression of coronary artery disease and help prevent a heart attack

Written by a third grader on what his grandparents do

After Christmas a teacher asked her young pupils how they spent their holiday away from school

One child wrote the following

We always used to spend the holidays with Grandma and Grandpa They used to live in a

big brick house but Grandpa got retarded and they moved to Florida Now they live in a tin box

that has wheels but itrsquos strapped to the ground They ride around on their bicycles and wear

name tags because they dont know who they are anymore They go to a building called a wreck

center but they must have got it fixed because it is all okay now they do exercises there but they

dont do them very well There is a swimming pool too but they all just jump up and down in it with

hats on

At their gate there is a doll house with a little old man sitting in it He watches all day so nobody

can escape Sometimes they sneak out and go cruising in their golf carts Nobody there cooks

they just eat out And they eat the same thing every night - early birds Some of the people cant

get out past the man in the doll house The ones who do get out bring food back to the wrecked

center for pot luck My Grandma says that Grandpa worked all his life to earn his retardment and

says I should work hard so I can be retarded someday too When I earn my retardment I want to

be the man in the doll house Then I will let people out so they can visit their grandchildren

PRICELESS

Sometimes little ones say embarrassing things

When yoursquore alone you donrsquot mind

My little one was in the mall the other day and she hollered ldquoMa I need to peerdquo

With 1000 strangers around Her Ma said ldquoDonrsquot say that say you got to whisper

Of course nobody tells Daddy anything While I was watching football on Monday

night with 4 of my best buddies in the living room my little one came up and said

ldquoDaddy I got to whisperrdquo I said ldquocome whisper in Daddyrsquos earrdquo

ldquoCOMMON SENSE OBITUARYrdquo

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend Common Sense who has been with us for many years No one knows for sure how old he was since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape He will be remembered as having cultivated such valued lessons as

Knowing when to come in out of the rain

Why the early bird gets the worm

Life isnrsquot always fair

Maybe it was my fault

Common sense lived by simple sound financial policies (Donrsquot spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (Adults not children are in charge)

His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student only worsened his condition

Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children

It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion

Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses and criminals received better treatment than their victims

Common Sense took a beating when you couldnrsquot defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault

Common Sense finally gave up the will to live after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot She spilled a little in her lap and was promptly awarded a huge settlement

Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents Truth and Trust by his wife Discretion by his daughter Responsibility and son Reason

He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers I Know My Rights I Want It Now Someone Else is to Blame and Irsquom a Victim

Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone If you still remember him pass this on If not join the majority and do nothing

On our November 4th dance we were ldquobombardedrdquo as Paws amp Taws came with

2 squares to retrieve their banner and Grand Squares had enough members to steal our banner Fortunately Beausejour Swinging Squares did not have enough members otherwise our President Co-chairs would have had to forfeit their blouses

Co-chairs Laura and Henriette have instituted a special ldquothemerdquo by wearing a different hat each dancing night this season and this night Laurarsquos was definitely different as it has directions on how to wear it ldquoThe Hatrdquo was a hit and was passed around all evening

November 18th Pie Night was enjoyed by 4+ squares including visitors from

Beausejour Swinging Squares and Whirlaway Westerners

Our Christmas Party dance will be December 16th with finger food on the

menu

Merry Christmas and Good Health in 2015

good and evil struggle in a constant battle to win our hearts and souls Our challenge is to ensure

After a meeting several days ago I couldnt find my keys I quickly gave myself a personal TSA Pat Down

They werent in my pockets Suddenly I realized I must have left them in the car

Frantically I headed for the parking lot My husband has scolded me many times for leaving my keys in the cars ignition Hes afraid that the car could be stolen As I looked around the parking lot I realized he was right

The parking lot was empty I immediately called the police I gave them my location confessed that I had left my keys in the car and that it had been stolen

Then I made the most difficult call of all to my husband I left my keys in the car and its been stolen

There was a moment of silence I thought the call had been disconnected but then I heard his voice

Are you kidding me he barked I dropped you off

Now it was my turn to be silent

Embarrassed I said Well come and get me

He retorted I will as soon as I convince this cop that I didnt steal your damn car

Welcome to the golden years

Winter in Manitoba ndash 2001

My wife Linda and I made the decision to buy a brand new vehicle ndash a FORD ESCAPE Like all things new it didnrsquot take long to mark it up ndash we were involved in an accident and consequently our car had to go to the body shop for repairs We had car replacement coverage from MPIC and Frontier Toyota on Regent Avenue in Winnipeg was to supply us with a vehicle Linda and I took the Escape to the auto body repair shop and they in turn drove us over to Frontier who supplied us with a nice new Toyota vehicle Okay we are set

I had Linda drop me off at our house on Talbot Avenue She was going shopping so I asked her to take my pay cheque and cash it for me while she was out When Linda returned home she couldnrsquot open the garage ndash she got out of the Toyota to come in and get the garage opener - one problem - neither of us remembered to take it out of the Escape The Toyota LOCKED UP TIGHT as soon as she got out of it and left the keys in the ignition and the car running ldquoNo problemrdquo says Linda ldquoGive me the spare key and Irsquoll go and move the car so it isnrsquot blocking the lanerdquo The dealer did not give us a spare key Now the car is idling away half way blocking the back lane and her purse WITH MY CASHED PAY CHEQUE in it is sitting in plain view on the passenger seat Keeping calm I called Frontier ndash whoops ndash after 600pm ndash closed

It is -40 degrees outside I call CAA for assistance They advise it will be approximately 2 hours before they can come and help us out I put on my snowmobile suit and go outside to stand guard over my pay cheque Four hours go by ndash no CAA It is now 1000pm and Irsquom darned cold - I call CAA again ndash did they forget about me Oh no they tell me it wonrsquot be long now there is a truck in the area At 1100pm with no CAA in sight I fire up my computer and start looking for an emergency call number for Toyota Success and bonus - the number is operative 247 I place my call and explain my situation ndash the lady who answers is in Alabama ndash she has never heard of Manitoba never mind temperatures of -40 degrees however she is sure she can find assistance within the hour Okay ndash it is now 100am ndash Irsquom no longer cold ndash Irsquom numb and my patience is getting pretty thin I call the lady back ndash yes she has found assistance ndash CAA I call CAA again ndash I am assured that CAA customers come first and that I am at the top of their list ndash the truck should be at my house within minutes Lo and behold ndash 200am and what did I see ndash the CAA tow truck The driver advised he had a special tool to open the door with ndash it would only be a matter of min-utes He got it stuck

The CAA dispatcher says that their expert is just coming off shift ndash hersquod be right over 300am

The expert has now arrived He too got the door jimmy stuck Okay we now have a jimmy stuck in the window of the driversrsquo door and in the window of the passengersrsquo door Neither can be removed At this point Irsquom done ndash It is 500am I manually open the garage door from the inside have CAA push the car into the garage ndash I leave the garage door slightly open to allow exhaust to escape as the car is still idling away Finally at 800am I get a spare key from Frontier Linda and I drove that Toyota with the jimmy bars banging against the car roof for a week Frontier had to take both doors apart in order to remove them

December 2014 - Coronary Artery Disease

Coronary artery disease develops when your coronary arteries mdash the major blood vessels that supply your heart with blood oxygen and nutrients mdash become damaged or diseased Cholesterol-containing deposits (plaque) in your arteries and inflammation are usually to blame for coronary artery disease

When plaques build up they narrow your coronary arteries decreasing blood flow to your heart Eventually the decreased blood flow may cause chest pain (angina) shortness of breath or other coronary artery disease signs and symptoms A complete blockage can cause a heart attack

Because coronary artery disease often develops over decades it can go unnoticed until you have a heart attack But theres plenty you can do to prevent and treat coronary artery disease Start by committing to a healthy lifestyle

If your coronary arteries narrow they cant supply enough oxygen-rich blood to your heart mdash especially when its beating hard such as during exercise At first the decreased blood flow may not cause any coronary artery disease symptoms As the plaques continue to build up in your coronary arteries however you may develop coronary artery disease signs and symptoms including

bullChest pain (angina) You may feel pressure or tightness in your chest as if someone were standing on your chest The pain referred to as angina is usually triggered by physical or emotional stress It typically goes away within minutes after stopping the stressful activity In some people especially women this pain may be fleeting or sharp and felt in the abdomen back or arm

bullShortness of breath If your heart cant pump enough blood to meet your bodys needs you may develop shortness of breath or extreme fatigue with exertion

bullHeart attack A completely blocked coronary artery may cause a heart attack The classic signs and symptoms of a heart attack include crushing pressure in your chest and pain in your shoulder or arm sometimes with shortness of breath and sweating Women are somewhat more likely than men are to experience less typical signs and symptoms of a heart attack such as nausea and back or jaw pain Sometimes a heart attack occurs without any apparent signs or symptoms

When to see a doctor

If you suspect youre having a heart attack immediately call 911 or your local emergency number If you dont have access to emergency medical services have someone drive you to the nearest hospital Drive yourself only as a last resort

If you have risk factors for coronary artery disease mdash such as high blood pressure high cholesterol tobacco use diabetes or obesity mdash talk to your doctor He or she may want to test you for the condition especially if you have signs or symptoms of narrowed arteries Even if you dont have evidence of coronary artery disease your doctor may recommend aggressive treatment of your risk factors Early diagnosis and

treatment may stop progression of coronary artery disease and help prevent a heart attack

Written by a third grader on what his grandparents do

After Christmas a teacher asked her young pupils how they spent their holiday away from school

One child wrote the following

We always used to spend the holidays with Grandma and Grandpa They used to live in a

big brick house but Grandpa got retarded and they moved to Florida Now they live in a tin box

that has wheels but itrsquos strapped to the ground They ride around on their bicycles and wear

name tags because they dont know who they are anymore They go to a building called a wreck

center but they must have got it fixed because it is all okay now they do exercises there but they

dont do them very well There is a swimming pool too but they all just jump up and down in it with

hats on

At their gate there is a doll house with a little old man sitting in it He watches all day so nobody

can escape Sometimes they sneak out and go cruising in their golf carts Nobody there cooks

they just eat out And they eat the same thing every night - early birds Some of the people cant

get out past the man in the doll house The ones who do get out bring food back to the wrecked

center for pot luck My Grandma says that Grandpa worked all his life to earn his retardment and

says I should work hard so I can be retarded someday too When I earn my retardment I want to

be the man in the doll house Then I will let people out so they can visit their grandchildren

PRICELESS

Sometimes little ones say embarrassing things

When yoursquore alone you donrsquot mind

My little one was in the mall the other day and she hollered ldquoMa I need to peerdquo

With 1000 strangers around Her Ma said ldquoDonrsquot say that say you got to whisper

Of course nobody tells Daddy anything While I was watching football on Monday

night with 4 of my best buddies in the living room my little one came up and said

ldquoDaddy I got to whisperrdquo I said ldquocome whisper in Daddyrsquos earrdquo

ldquoCOMMON SENSE OBITUARYrdquo

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend Common Sense who has been with us for many years No one knows for sure how old he was since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape He will be remembered as having cultivated such valued lessons as

Knowing when to come in out of the rain

Why the early bird gets the worm

Life isnrsquot always fair

Maybe it was my fault

Common sense lived by simple sound financial policies (Donrsquot spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (Adults not children are in charge)

His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student only worsened his condition

Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children

It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion

Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses and criminals received better treatment than their victims

Common Sense took a beating when you couldnrsquot defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault

Common Sense finally gave up the will to live after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot She spilled a little in her lap and was promptly awarded a huge settlement

Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents Truth and Trust by his wife Discretion by his daughter Responsibility and son Reason

He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers I Know My Rights I Want It Now Someone Else is to Blame and Irsquom a Victim

Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone If you still remember him pass this on If not join the majority and do nothing

On our November 4th dance we were ldquobombardedrdquo as Paws amp Taws came with

2 squares to retrieve their banner and Grand Squares had enough members to steal our banner Fortunately Beausejour Swinging Squares did not have enough members otherwise our President Co-chairs would have had to forfeit their blouses

Co-chairs Laura and Henriette have instituted a special ldquothemerdquo by wearing a different hat each dancing night this season and this night Laurarsquos was definitely different as it has directions on how to wear it ldquoThe Hatrdquo was a hit and was passed around all evening

November 18th Pie Night was enjoyed by 4+ squares including visitors from

Beausejour Swinging Squares and Whirlaway Westerners

Our Christmas Party dance will be December 16th with finger food on the

menu

good and evil struggle in a constant battle to win our hearts and souls Our challenge is to ensure

After a meeting several days ago I couldnt find my keys I quickly gave myself a personal TSA Pat Down

They werent in my pockets Suddenly I realized I must have left them in the car

Frantically I headed for the parking lot My husband has scolded me many times for leaving my keys in the cars ignition Hes afraid that the car could be stolen As I looked around the parking lot I realized he was right

The parking lot was empty I immediately called the police I gave them my location confessed that I had left my keys in the car and that it had been stolen

Then I made the most difficult call of all to my husband I left my keys in the car and its been stolen

There was a moment of silence I thought the call had been disconnected but then I heard his voice

Are you kidding me he barked I dropped you off

Now it was my turn to be silent

Embarrassed I said Well come and get me

He retorted I will as soon as I convince this cop that I didnt steal your damn car

December 2014 - Coronary Artery Disease

Coronary artery disease develops when your coronary arteries mdash the major blood vessels that supply your heart with blood oxygen and nutrients mdash become damaged or diseased Cholesterol-containing deposits (plaque) in your arteries and inflammation are usually to blame for coronary artery disease

When plaques build up they narrow your coronary arteries decreasing blood flow to your heart Eventually the decreased blood flow may cause chest pain (angina) shortness of breath or other coronary artery disease signs and symptoms A complete blockage can cause a heart attack

Because coronary artery disease often develops over decades it can go unnoticed until you have a heart attack But theres plenty you can do to prevent and treat coronary artery disease Start by committing to a healthy lifestyle

If your coronary arteries narrow they cant supply enough oxygen-rich blood to your heart mdash especially when its beating hard such as during exercise At first the decreased blood flow may not cause any coronary artery disease symptoms As the plaques continue to build up in your coronary arteries however you may develop coronary artery disease signs and symptoms including

bullChest pain (angina) You may feel pressure or tightness in your chest as if someone were standing on your chest The pain referred to as angina is usually triggered by physical or emotional stress It typically goes away within minutes after stopping the stressful activity In some people especially women this pain may be fleeting or sharp and felt in the abdomen back or arm

bullShortness of breath If your heart cant pump enough blood to meet your bodys needs you may develop shortness of breath or extreme fatigue with exertion

bullHeart attack A completely blocked coronary artery may cause a heart attack The classic signs and symptoms of a heart attack include crushing pressure in your chest and pain in your shoulder or arm sometimes with shortness of breath and sweating Women are somewhat more likely than men are to experience less typical signs and symptoms of a heart attack such as nausea and back or jaw pain Sometimes a heart attack occurs without any apparent signs or symptoms

When to see a doctor

If you suspect youre having a heart attack immediately call 911 or your local emergency number If you dont have access to emergency medical services have someone drive you to the nearest hospital Drive yourself only as a last resort

If you have risk factors for coronary artery disease mdash such as high blood pressure high cholesterol tobacco use diabetes or obesity mdash talk to your doctor He or she may want to test you for the condition especially if you have signs or symptoms of narrowed arteries Even if you dont have evidence of coronary artery disease your doctor may recommend aggressive treatment of your risk factors Early diagnosis and

treatment may stop progression of coronary artery disease and help prevent a heart attack

Written by a third grader on what his grandparents do

After Christmas a teacher asked her young pupils how they spent their holiday away from school

One child wrote the following

We always used to spend the holidays with Grandma and Grandpa They used to live in a

big brick house but Grandpa got retarded and they moved to Florida Now they live in a tin box

that has wheels but itrsquos strapped to the ground They ride around on their bicycles and wear

name tags because they dont know who they are anymore They go to a building called a wreck

center but they must have got it fixed because it is all okay now they do exercises there but they

dont do them very well There is a swimming pool too but they all just jump up and down in it with

hats on

At their gate there is a doll house with a little old man sitting in it He watches all day so nobody

can escape Sometimes they sneak out and go cruising in their golf carts Nobody there cooks

they just eat out And they eat the same thing every night - early birds Some of the people cant

get out past the man in the doll house The ones who do get out bring food back to the wrecked

center for pot luck My Grandma says that Grandpa worked all his life to earn his retardment and

says I should work hard so I can be retarded someday too When I earn my retardment I want to

be the man in the doll house Then I will let people out so they can visit their grandchildren

PRICELESS

Sometimes little ones say embarrassing things

When yoursquore alone you donrsquot mind

My little one was in the mall the other day and she hollered ldquoMa I need to peerdquo

With 1000 strangers around Her Ma said ldquoDonrsquot say that say you got to whisper

Of course nobody tells Daddy anything While I was watching football on Monday

night with 4 of my best buddies in the living room my little one came up and said

ldquoDaddy I got to whisperrdquo I said ldquocome whisper in Daddyrsquos earrdquo

ldquoCOMMON SENSE OBITUARYrdquo

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend Common Sense who has been with us for many years No one knows for sure how old he was since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape He will be remembered as having cultivated such valued lessons as

Knowing when to come in out of the rain

Why the early bird gets the worm

Life isnrsquot always fair

Maybe it was my fault

Common sense lived by simple sound financial policies (Donrsquot spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (Adults not children are in charge)

His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student only worsened his condition

Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children

It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion

Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses and criminals received better treatment than their victims

Common Sense took a beating when you couldnrsquot defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault

Common Sense finally gave up the will to live after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot She spilled a little in her lap and was promptly awarded a huge settlement

Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents Truth and Trust by his wife Discretion by his daughter Responsibility and son Reason

He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers I Know My Rights I Want It Now Someone Else is to Blame and Irsquom a Victim

Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone If you still remember him pass this on If not join the majority and do nothing

2 squares to retrieve their banner and Grand Squares had enough members to steal our banner Fortunately Beausejour Swinging Squares did not have enough members otherwise our President Co-chairs would have had to forfeit their blouses

Co-chairs Laura and Henriette have instituted a special ldquothemerdquo by wearing a different hat each dancing night this season and this night Laurarsquos was definitely different as it has directions on how to wear it ldquoThe Hatrdquo was a hit and was passed around all evening

November 18th Pie Night was enjoyed by 4+ squares including visitors from

Beausejour Swinging Squares and Whirlaway Westerners

Our Christmas Party dance will be December 16th with finger food on the

menu

Merry Christmas and Good Health in 2015

believers We live in a world that is teeming with temptation and distractions - a world where

good and evil struggle in a constant battle to win our hearts and souls Our challenge is to ensure

that we cast out lot on the side of God When we worship God faithfully and fervently we are

blessed Come worship with us on Sundays at 10 AM at the LUD Hall in Richer Everyone is

After a meeting several days ago I couldnt find my keys I quickly gave myself a personal TSA Pat Down

They werent in my pockets Suddenly I realized I must have left them in the car

Frantically I headed for the parking lot My husband has scolded me many times for leaving my keys in the cars ignition Hes afraid that the car could be stolen As I looked around the parking lot I realized he was right

The parking lot was empty I immediately called the police I gave them my location confessed that I had left my keys in the car and that it had been stolen

Then I made the most difficult call of all to my husband I left my keys in the car and its been stolen

There was a moment of silence I thought the call had been disconnected but then I heard his voice

Are you kidding me he barked I dropped you off

Now it was my turn to be silent

Embarrassed I said Well come and get me

He retorted I will as soon as I convince this cop that I didnt steal your damn car

Welcome to the golden years

Winter in Manitoba ndash 2001

My wife Linda and I made the decision to buy a brand new vehicle ndash a FORD ESCAPE Like all things new it didnrsquot take long to mark it up ndash we were involved in an accident and consequently our car had to go to the body shop for repairs We had car replacement coverage from MPIC and Frontier Toyota on Regent Avenue in Winnipeg was to supply us with a vehicle Linda and I took the Escape to the auto body repair shop and they in turn drove us over to Frontier who supplied us with a nice new Toyota vehicle Okay we are set

I had Linda drop me off at our house on Talbot Avenue She was going shopping so I asked her to take my pay cheque and cash it for me while she was out When Linda returned home she couldnrsquot open the garage ndash she got out of the Toyota to come in and get the garage opener - one problem - neither of us remembered to take it out of the Escape The Toyota LOCKED UP TIGHT as soon as she got out of it and left the keys in the ignition and the car running ldquoNo problemrdquo says Linda ldquoGive me the spare key and Irsquoll go and move the car so it isnrsquot blocking the lanerdquo The dealer did not give us a spare key Now the car is idling away half way blocking the back lane and her purse WITH MY CASHED PAY CHEQUE in it is sitting in plain view on the passenger seat Keeping calm I called Frontier ndash whoops ndash after 600pm ndash closed

It is -40 degrees outside I call CAA for assistance They advise it will be approximately 2 hours before they can come and help us out I put on my snowmobile suit and go outside to stand guard over my pay cheque Four hours go by ndash no CAA It is now 1000pm and Irsquom darned cold - I call CAA again ndash did they forget about me Oh no they tell me it wonrsquot be long now there is a truck in the area At 1100pm with no CAA in sight I fire up my computer and start looking for an emergency call number for Toyota Success and bonus - the number is operative 247 I place my call and explain my situation ndash the lady who answers is in Alabama ndash she has never heard of Manitoba never mind temperatures of -40 degrees however she is sure she can find assistance within the hour Okay ndash it is now 100am ndash Irsquom no longer cold ndash Irsquom numb and my patience is getting pretty thin I call the lady back ndash yes she has found assistance ndash CAA I call CAA again ndash I am assured that CAA customers come first and that I am at the top of their list ndash the truck should be at my house within minutes Lo and behold ndash 200am and what did I see ndash the CAA tow truck The driver advised he had a special tool to open the door with ndash it would only be a matter of min-utes He got it stuck

The CAA dispatcher says that their expert is just coming off shift ndash hersquod be right over 300am

The expert has now arrived He too got the door jimmy stuck Okay we now have a jimmy stuck in the window of the driversrsquo door and in the window of the passengersrsquo door Neither can be removed At this point Irsquom done ndash It is 500am I manually open the garage door from the inside have CAA push the car into the garage ndash I leave the garage door slightly open to allow exhaust to escape as the car is still idling away Finally at 800am I get a spare key from Frontier Linda and I drove that Toyota with the jimmy bars banging against the car roof for a week Frontier had to take both doors apart in order to remove them

December 2014 - Coronary Artery Disease

Coronary artery disease develops when your coronary arteries mdash the major blood vessels that supply your heart with blood oxygen and nutrients mdash become damaged or diseased Cholesterol-containing deposits (plaque) in your arteries and inflammation are usually to blame for coronary artery disease

When plaques build up they narrow your coronary arteries decreasing blood flow to your heart Eventually the decreased blood flow may cause chest pain (angina) shortness of breath or other coronary artery disease signs and symptoms A complete blockage can cause a heart attack

Because coronary artery disease often develops over decades it can go unnoticed until you have a heart attack But theres plenty you can do to prevent and treat coronary artery disease Start by committing to a healthy lifestyle

If your coronary arteries narrow they cant supply enough oxygen-rich blood to your heart mdash especially when its beating hard such as during exercise At first the decreased blood flow may not cause any coronary artery disease symptoms As the plaques continue to build up in your coronary arteries however you may develop coronary artery disease signs and symptoms including

bullChest pain (angina) You may feel pressure or tightness in your chest as if someone were standing on your chest The pain referred to as angina is usually triggered by physical or emotional stress It typically goes away within minutes after stopping the stressful activity In some people especially women this pain may be fleeting or sharp and felt in the abdomen back or arm

bullShortness of breath If your heart cant pump enough blood to meet your bodys needs you may develop shortness of breath or extreme fatigue with exertion

bullHeart attack A completely blocked coronary artery may cause a heart attack The classic signs and symptoms of a heart attack include crushing pressure in your chest and pain in your shoulder or arm sometimes with shortness of breath and sweating Women are somewhat more likely than men are to experience less typical signs and symptoms of a heart attack such as nausea and back or jaw pain Sometimes a heart attack occurs without any apparent signs or symptoms

When to see a doctor

If you suspect youre having a heart attack immediately call 911 or your local emergency number If you dont have access to emergency medical services have someone drive you to the nearest hospital Drive yourself only as a last resort

If you have risk factors for coronary artery disease mdash such as high blood pressure high cholesterol tobacco use diabetes or obesity mdash talk to your doctor He or she may want to test you for the condition especially if you have signs or symptoms of narrowed arteries Even if you dont have evidence of coronary artery disease your doctor may recommend aggressive treatment of your risk factors Early diagnosis and

treatment may stop progression of coronary artery disease and help prevent a heart attack

and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

Written by a third grader on what his grandparents do

After Christmas a teacher asked her young pupils how they spent their holiday away from school

One child wrote the following

We always used to spend the holidays with Grandma and Grandpa They used to live in a

big brick house but Grandpa got retarded and they moved to Florida Now they live in a tin box

that has wheels but itrsquos strapped to the ground They ride around on their bicycles and wear

name tags because they dont know who they are anymore They go to a building called a wreck

center but they must have got it fixed because it is all okay now they do exercises there but they

dont do them very well There is a swimming pool too but they all just jump up and down in it with

hats on

At their gate there is a doll house with a little old man sitting in it He watches all day so nobody

can escape Sometimes they sneak out and go cruising in their golf carts Nobody there cooks

they just eat out And they eat the same thing every night - early birds Some of the people cant

get out past the man in the doll house The ones who do get out bring food back to the wrecked

center for pot luck My Grandma says that Grandpa worked all his life to earn his retardment and

says I should work hard so I can be retarded someday too When I earn my retardment I want to

be the man in the doll house Then I will let people out so they can visit their grandchildren

PRICELESS

Sometimes little ones say embarrassing things

When yoursquore alone you donrsquot mind

My little one was in the mall the other day and she hollered ldquoMa I need to peerdquo

With 1000 strangers around Her Ma said ldquoDonrsquot say that say you got to whisper

Of course nobody tells Daddy anything While I was watching football on Monday

night with 4 of my best buddies in the living room my little one came up and said

ldquoDaddy I got to whisperrdquo I said ldquocome whisper in Daddyrsquos earrdquo

ldquoCOMMON SENSE OBITUARYrdquo

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend Common Sense who has been with us for many years No one knows for sure how old he was since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape He will be remembered as having cultivated such valued lessons as

Knowing when to come in out of the rain

Why the early bird gets the worm

Life isnrsquot always fair

Maybe it was my fault

Common sense lived by simple sound financial policies (Donrsquot spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (Adults not children are in charge)

His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student only worsened his condition

Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children

It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion

Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses and criminals received better treatment than their victims

Common Sense took a beating when you couldnrsquot defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault

Common Sense finally gave up the will to live after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot She spilled a little in her lap and was promptly awarded a huge settlement

Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents Truth and Trust by his wife Discretion by his daughter Responsibility and son Reason

He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers I Know My Rights I Want It Now Someone Else is to Blame and Irsquom a Victim

Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone If you still remember him pass this on If not join the majority and do nothing

On our November 4th dance we were ldquobombardedrdquo as Paws amp Taws came with

2 squares to retrieve their banner and Grand Squares had enough members to steal our banner Fortunately Beausejour Swinging Squares did not have enough members otherwise our President Co-chairs would have had to forfeit their blouses

Co-chairs Laura and Henriette have instituted a special ldquothemerdquo by wearing a different hat each dancing night this season and this night Laurarsquos was definitely different as it has directions on how to wear it ldquoThe Hatrdquo was a hit and was passed around all evening

November 18th Pie Night was enjoyed by 4+ squares including visitors from

Beausejour Swinging Squares and Whirlaway Westerners

Our Christmas Party dance will be December 16th with finger food on the

menu

After a meeting several days ago I couldnt find my keys I quickly gave myself a personal TSA Pat Down

They werent in my pockets Suddenly I realized I must have left them in the car

Frantically I headed for the parking lot My husband has scolded me many times for leaving my keys in the cars ignition Hes afraid that the car could be stolen As I looked around the parking lot I realized he was right

The parking lot was empty I immediately called the police I gave them my location confessed that I had left my keys in the car and that it had been stolen

Then I made the most difficult call of all to my husband I left my keys in the car and its been stolen

There was a moment of silence I thought the call had been disconnected but then I heard his voice

Are you kidding me he barked I dropped you off

Now it was my turn to be silent

Embarrassed I said Well come and get me

He retorted I will as soon as I convince this cop that I didnt steal your damn car

December 2014 - Coronary Artery Disease

Coronary artery disease develops when your coronary arteries mdash the major blood vessels that supply your heart with blood oxygen and nutrients mdash become damaged or diseased Cholesterol-containing deposits (plaque) in your arteries and inflammation are usually to blame for coronary artery disease

When plaques build up they narrow your coronary arteries decreasing blood flow to your heart Eventually the decreased blood flow may cause chest pain (angina) shortness of breath or other coronary artery disease signs and symptoms A complete blockage can cause a heart attack

Because coronary artery disease often develops over decades it can go unnoticed until you have a heart attack But theres plenty you can do to prevent and treat coronary artery disease Start by committing to a healthy lifestyle

If your coronary arteries narrow they cant supply enough oxygen-rich blood to your heart mdash especially when its beating hard such as during exercise At first the decreased blood flow may not cause any coronary artery disease symptoms As the plaques continue to build up in your coronary arteries however you may develop coronary artery disease signs and symptoms including

bullChest pain (angina) You may feel pressure or tightness in your chest as if someone were standing on your chest The pain referred to as angina is usually triggered by physical or emotional stress It typically goes away within minutes after stopping the stressful activity In some people especially women this pain may be fleeting or sharp and felt in the abdomen back or arm

bullShortness of breath If your heart cant pump enough blood to meet your bodys needs you may develop shortness of breath or extreme fatigue with exertion

bullHeart attack A completely blocked coronary artery may cause a heart attack The classic signs and symptoms of a heart attack include crushing pressure in your chest and pain in your shoulder or arm sometimes with shortness of breath and sweating Women are somewhat more likely than men are to experience less typical signs and symptoms of a heart attack such as nausea and back or jaw pain Sometimes a heart attack occurs without any apparent signs or symptoms

When to see a doctor

If you suspect youre having a heart attack immediately call 911 or your local emergency number If you dont have access to emergency medical services have someone drive you to the nearest hospital Drive yourself only as a last resort

If you have risk factors for coronary artery disease mdash such as high blood pressure high cholesterol tobacco use diabetes or obesity mdash talk to your doctor He or she may want to test you for the condition especially if you have signs or symptoms of narrowed arteries Even if you dont have evidence of coronary artery disease your doctor may recommend aggressive treatment of your risk factors Early diagnosis and

treatment may stop progression of coronary artery disease and help prevent a heart attack

Written by a third grader on what his grandparents do

After Christmas a teacher asked her young pupils how they spent their holiday away from school

One child wrote the following

We always used to spend the holidays with Grandma and Grandpa They used to live in a

big brick house but Grandpa got retarded and they moved to Florida Now they live in a tin box

that has wheels but itrsquos strapped to the ground They ride around on their bicycles and wear

name tags because they dont know who they are anymore They go to a building called a wreck

center but they must have got it fixed because it is all okay now they do exercises there but they

dont do them very well There is a swimming pool too but they all just jump up and down in it with

hats on

At their gate there is a doll house with a little old man sitting in it He watches all day so nobody

can escape Sometimes they sneak out and go cruising in their golf carts Nobody there cooks

they just eat out And they eat the same thing every night - early birds Some of the people cant

get out past the man in the doll house The ones who do get out bring food back to the wrecked

center for pot luck My Grandma says that Grandpa worked all his life to earn his retardment and

says I should work hard so I can be retarded someday too When I earn my retardment I want to

be the man in the doll house Then I will let people out so they can visit their grandchildren

PRICELESS

Sometimes little ones say embarrassing things

When yoursquore alone you donrsquot mind

My little one was in the mall the other day and she hollered ldquoMa I need to peerdquo

With 1000 strangers around Her Ma said ldquoDonrsquot say that say you got to whisper

Of course nobody tells Daddy anything While I was watching football on Monday

night with 4 of my best buddies in the living room my little one came up and said

ldquoDaddy I got to whisperrdquo I said ldquocome whisper in Daddyrsquos earrdquo

ldquoCOMMON SENSE OBITUARYrdquo

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend Common Sense who has been with us for many years No one knows for sure how old he was since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape He will be remembered as having cultivated such valued lessons as

Knowing when to come in out of the rain

Why the early bird gets the worm

Life isnrsquot always fair

Maybe it was my fault

Common sense lived by simple sound financial policies (Donrsquot spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (Adults not children are in charge)

His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student only worsened his condition

Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children

It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion

Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses and criminals received better treatment than their victims

Common Sense took a beating when you couldnrsquot defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault

Common Sense finally gave up the will to live after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot She spilled a little in her lap and was promptly awarded a huge settlement

Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents Truth and Trust by his wife Discretion by his daughter Responsibility and son Reason

He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers I Know My Rights I Want It Now Someone Else is to Blame and Irsquom a Victim

Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone If you still remember him pass this on If not join the majority and do nothing

On our November 4th dance we were ldquobombardedrdquo as Paws amp Taws came with

2 squares to retrieve their banner and Grand Squares had enough members to steal our banner Fortunately Beausejour Swinging Squares did not have enough members otherwise our President Co-chairs would have had to forfeit their blouses

Co-chairs Laura and Henriette have instituted a special ldquothemerdquo by wearing a different hat each dancing night this season and this night Laurarsquos was definitely different as it has directions on how to wear it ldquoThe Hatrdquo was a hit and was passed around all evening

November 18th Pie Night was enjoyed by 4+ squares including visitors from

Beausejour Swinging Squares and Whirlaway Westerners

Our Christmas Party dance will be December 16th with finger food on the

menu

believers We live in a world that is teeming with temptation and distractions - a world where

good and evil struggle in a constant battle to win our hearts and souls Our challenge is to ensure

that we cast out lot on the side of God When we worship God faithfully and fervently we are

blessed Come worship with us on Sundays at 10 AM at the LUD Hall in Richer Everyone is

After a meeting several days ago I couldnt find my keys I quickly gave myself a personal TSA Pat Down

They werent in my pockets Suddenly I realized I must have left them in the car

Frantically I headed for the parking lot My husband has scolded me many times for leaving my keys in the cars ignition Hes afraid that the car could be stolen As I looked around the parking lot I realized he was right

The parking lot was empty I immediately called the police I gave them my location confessed that I had left my keys in the car and that it had been stolen

Then I made the most difficult call of all to my husband I left my keys in the car and its been stolen

There was a moment of silence I thought the call had been disconnected but then I heard his voice

Are you kidding me he barked I dropped you off

Now it was my turn to be silent

Embarrassed I said Well come and get me

He retorted I will as soon as I convince this cop that I didnt steal your damn car

Welcome to the golden years

P A R A D I S E V I L L A G E N E W S

Winter in Manitoba ndash 2001

My wife Linda and I made the decision to buy a brand new vehicle ndash a FORD ESCAPE Like all things new it didnrsquot take long to mark it up ndash we were involved in an accident and consequently our car had to go to the body shop for repairs We had car replacement coverage from MPIC and Frontier Toyota on Regent Avenue in Winnipeg was to supply us with a vehicle Linda and I took the Escape to the auto body repair shop and they in turn drove us over to Frontier who supplied us with a nice new Toyota vehicle Okay we are set

I had Linda drop me off at our house on Talbot Avenue She was going shopping so I asked her to take my pay cheque and cash it for me while she was out When Linda returned home she couldnrsquot open the garage ndash she got out of the Toyota to come in and get the garage opener - one problem - neither of us remembered to take it out of the Escape The Toyota LOCKED UP TIGHT as soon as she got out of it and left the keys in the ignition and the car running ldquoNo problemrdquo says Linda ldquoGive me the spare key and Irsquoll go and move the car so it isnrsquot blocking the lanerdquo The dealer did not give us a spare key Now the car is idling away half way blocking the back lane and her purse WITH MY CASHED PAY CHEQUE in it is sitting in plain view on the passenger seat Keeping calm I called Frontier ndash whoops ndash after 600pm ndash closed

It is -40 degrees outside I call CAA for assistance They advise it will be approximately 2 hours before they can come and help us out I put on my snowmobile suit and go outside to stand guard over my pay cheque Four hours go by ndash no CAA It is now 1000pm and Irsquom darned cold - I call CAA again ndash did they forget about me Oh no they tell me it wonrsquot be long now there is a truck in the area At 1100pm with no CAA in sight I fire up my computer and start looking for an emergency call number for Toyota Success and bonus - the number is operative 247 I place my call and explain my situation ndash the lady who answers is in Alabama ndash she has never heard of Manitoba never mind temperatures of -40 degrees however she is sure she can find assistance within the hour Okay ndash it is now 100am ndash Irsquom no longer cold ndash Irsquom numb and my patience is getting pretty thin I call the lady back ndash yes she has found assistance ndash CAA I call CAA again ndash I am assured that CAA customers come first and that I am at the top of their list ndash the truck should be at my house within minutes Lo and behold ndash 200am and what did I see ndash the CAA tow truck The driver advised he had a special tool to open the door with ndash it would only be a matter of min-utes He got it stuck

The CAA dispatcher says that their expert is just coming off shift ndash hersquod be right over 300am

The expert has now arrived He too got the door jimmy stuck Okay we now have a jimmy stuck in the window of the driversrsquo door and in the window of the passengersrsquo door Neither can be removed At this point Irsquom done ndash It is 500am I manually open the garage door from the inside have CAA push the car into the garage ndash I leave the garage door slightly open to allow exhaust to escape as the car is still idling away Finally at 800am I get a spare key from Frontier Linda and I drove that Toyota with the jimmy bars banging against the car roof for a week Frontier had to take both doors apart in order to remove them

December 2014 - Coronary Artery Disease

Coronary artery disease develops when your coronary arteries mdash the major blood vessels that supply your heart with blood oxygen and nutrients mdash become damaged or diseased Cholesterol-containing deposits (plaque) in your arteries and inflammation are usually to blame for coronary artery disease

When plaques build up they narrow your coronary arteries decreasing blood flow to your heart Eventually the decreased blood flow may cause chest pain (angina) shortness of breath or other coronary artery disease signs and symptoms A complete blockage can cause a heart attack

Because coronary artery disease often develops over decades it can go unnoticed until you have a heart attack But theres plenty you can do to prevent and treat coronary artery disease Start by committing to a healthy lifestyle

If your coronary arteries narrow they cant supply enough oxygen-rich blood to your heart mdash especially when its beating hard such as during exercise At first the decreased blood flow may not cause any coronary artery disease symptoms As the plaques continue to build up in your coronary arteries however you may develop coronary artery disease signs and symptoms including

bullChest pain (angina) You may feel pressure or tightness in your chest as if someone were standing on your chest The pain referred to as angina is usually triggered by physical or emotional stress It typically goes away within minutes after stopping the stressful activity In some people especially women this pain may be fleeting or sharp and felt in the abdomen back or arm

bullShortness of breath If your heart cant pump enough blood to meet your bodys needs you may develop shortness of breath or extreme fatigue with exertion

bullHeart attack A completely blocked coronary artery may cause a heart attack The classic signs and symptoms of a heart attack include crushing pressure in your chest and pain in your shoulder or arm sometimes with shortness of breath and sweating Women are somewhat more likely than men are to experience less typical signs and symptoms of a heart attack such as nausea and back or jaw pain Sometimes a heart attack occurs without any apparent signs or symptoms

When to see a doctor

If you suspect youre having a heart attack immediately call 911 or your local emergency number If you dont have access to emergency medical services have someone drive you to the nearest hospital Drive yourself only as a last resort

If you have risk factors for coronary artery disease mdash such as high blood pressure high cholesterol tobacco use diabetes or obesity mdash talk to your doctor He or she may want to test you for the condition especially if you have signs or symptoms of narrowed arteries Even if you dont have evidence of coronary artery disease your doctor may recommend aggressive treatment of your risk factors Early diagnosis and

treatment may stop progression of coronary artery disease and help prevent a heart attack

The three lsquoMousketeersrsquo Jesse the Sheltie Buttons the Lhasa Apso and Zak the Schnauzer were a big part of the original bushwalking dogs who always accompanied us when we first started the trails Much to the surprise of some these 3 little scamps also won the top 3 prizes for the lsquoMost Obedient Dogrsquo category at the very first dog show we held in the Village in 2005 No doubt they are together again and gone lsquoWalk-Aboutrsquo

ZAK the little Schnauzer with the big ego is sadly no longer with us While I really miss the little guy I know he has gone to be with his previous owner Jean Henry

Written by a third grader on what his grandparents do

After Christmas a teacher asked her young pupils how they spent their holiday away from school

One child wrote the following

We always used to spend the holidays with Grandma and Grandpa They used to live in a

big brick house but Grandpa got retarded and they moved to Florida Now they live in a tin box

that has wheels but itrsquos strapped to the ground They ride around on their bicycles and wear

name tags because they dont know who they are anymore They go to a building called a wreck

center but they must have got it fixed because it is all okay now they do exercises there but they

dont do them very well There is a swimming pool too but they all just jump up and down in it with

hats on

At their gate there is a doll house with a little old man sitting in it He watches all day so nobody

can escape Sometimes they sneak out and go cruising in their golf carts Nobody there cooks

they just eat out And they eat the same thing every night - early birds Some of the people cant

get out past the man in the doll house The ones who do get out bring food back to the wrecked

center for pot luck My Grandma says that Grandpa worked all his life to earn his retardment and

says I should work hard so I can be retarded someday too When I earn my retardment I want to

be the man in the doll house Then I will let people out so they can visit their grandchildren

PRICELESS

Sometimes little ones say embarrassing things

When yoursquore alone you donrsquot mind

My little one was in the mall the other day and she hollered ldquoMa I need to peerdquo

With 1000 strangers around Her Ma said ldquoDonrsquot say that say you got to whisper

Of course nobody tells Daddy anything While I was watching football on Monday

night with 4 of my best buddies in the living room my little one came up and said

ldquoDaddy I got to whisperrdquo I said ldquocome whisper in Daddyrsquos earrdquo

ldquoCOMMON SENSE OBITUARYrdquo

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend Common Sense who has been with us for many years No one knows for sure how old he was since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape He will be remembered as having cultivated such valued lessons as

Knowing when to come in out of the rain

Why the early bird gets the worm

Life isnrsquot always fair

Maybe it was my fault

Common sense lived by simple sound financial policies (Donrsquot spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (Adults not children are in charge)

His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student only worsened his condition

Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children

It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion

Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses and criminals received better treatment than their victims

Common Sense took a beating when you couldnrsquot defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault

Common Sense finally gave up the will to live after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot She spilled a little in her lap and was promptly awarded a huge settlement

Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents Truth and Trust by his wife Discretion by his daughter Responsibility and son Reason

He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers I Know My Rights I Want It Now Someone Else is to Blame and Irsquom a Victim

Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone If you still remember him pass this on If not join the majority and do nothing

On our November 4th dance we were ldquobombardedrdquo as Paws amp Taws came with

2 squares to retrieve their banner and Grand Squares had enough members to steal our banner Fortunately Beausejour Swinging Squares did not have enough members otherwise our President Co-chairs would have had to forfeit their blouses

Co-chairs Laura and Henriette have instituted a special ldquothemerdquo by wearing a different hat each dancing night this season and this night Laurarsquos was definitely different as it has directions on how to wear it ldquoThe Hatrdquo was a hit and was passed around all evening

November 18th Pie Night was enjoyed by 4+ squares including visitors from

Beausejour Swinging Squares and Whirlaway Westerners

Our Christmas Party dance will be December 16th with finger food on the

menu

Merry Christmas and Good Health in 2015

After a meeting several days ago I couldnt find my keys I quickly gave myself a personal TSA Pat Down

They werent in my pockets Suddenly I realized I must have left them in the car

Frantically I headed for the parking lot My husband has scolded me many times for leaving my keys in the cars ignition Hes afraid that the car could be stolen As I looked around the parking lot I realized he was right

The parking lot was empty I immediately called the police I gave them my location confessed that I had left my keys in the car and that it had been stolen

Then I made the most difficult call of all to my husband I left my keys in the car and its been stolen

There was a moment of silence I thought the call had been disconnected but then I heard his voice

Are you kidding me he barked I dropped you off

Now it was my turn to be silent

Embarrassed I said Well come and get me

He retorted I will as soon as I convince this cop that I didnt steal your damn car

Welcome to the golden years

Winter in Manitoba ndash 2001

My wife Linda and I made the decision to buy a brand new vehicle ndash a FORD ESCAPE Like all things new it didnrsquot take long to mark it up ndash we were involved in an accident and consequently our car had to go to the body shop for repairs We had car replacement coverage from MPIC and Frontier Toyota on Regent Avenue in Winnipeg was to supply us with a vehicle Linda and I took the Escape to the auto body repair shop and they in turn drove us over to Frontier who supplied us with a nice new Toyota vehicle Okay we are set

I had Linda drop me off at our house on Talbot Avenue She was going shopping so I asked her to take my pay cheque and cash it for me while she was out When Linda returned home she couldnrsquot open the garage ndash she got out of the Toyota to come in and get the garage opener - one problem - neither of us remembered to take it out of the Escape The Toyota LOCKED UP TIGHT as soon as she got out of it and left the keys in the ignition and the car running ldquoNo problemrdquo says Linda ldquoGive me the spare key and Irsquoll go and move the car so it isnrsquot blocking the lanerdquo The dealer did not give us a spare key Now the car is idling away half way blocking the back lane and her purse WITH MY CASHED PAY CHEQUE in it is sitting in plain view on the passenger seat Keeping calm I called Frontier ndash whoops ndash after 600pm ndash closed

It is -40 degrees outside I call CAA for assistance They advise it will be approximately 2 hours before they can come and help us out I put on my snowmobile suit and go outside to stand guard over my pay cheque Four hours go by ndash no CAA It is now 1000pm and Irsquom darned cold - I call CAA again ndash did they forget about me Oh no they tell me it wonrsquot be long now there is a truck in the area At 1100pm with no CAA in sight I fire up my computer and start looking for an emergency call number for Toyota Success and bonus - the number is operative 247 I place my call and explain my situation ndash the lady who answers is in Alabama ndash she has never heard of Manitoba never mind temperatures of -40 degrees however she is sure she can find assistance within the hour Okay ndash it is now 100am ndash Irsquom no longer cold ndash Irsquom numb and my patience is getting pretty thin I call the lady back ndash yes she has found assistance ndash CAA I call CAA again ndash I am assured that CAA customers come first and that I am at the top of their list ndash the truck should be at my house within minutes Lo and behold ndash 200am and what did I see ndash the CAA tow truck The driver advised he had a special tool to open the door with ndash it would only be a matter of min-utes He got it stuck

The CAA dispatcher says that their expert is just coming off shift ndash hersquod be right over 300am

The expert has now arrived He too got the door jimmy stuck Okay we now have a jimmy stuck in the window of the driversrsquo door and in the window of the passengersrsquo door Neither can be removed At this point Irsquom done ndash It is 500am I manually open the garage door from the inside have CAA push the car into the garage ndash I leave the garage door slightly open to allow exhaust to escape as the car is still idling away Finally at 800am I get a spare key from Frontier Linda and I drove that Toyota with the jimmy bars banging against the car roof for a week Frontier had to take both doors apart in order to remove them

December 2014 - Coronary Artery Disease

Coronary artery disease develops when your coronary arteries mdash the major blood vessels that supply your heart with blood oxygen and nutrients mdash become damaged or diseased Cholesterol-containing deposits (plaque) in your arteries and inflammation are usually to blame for coronary artery disease

When plaques build up they narrow your coronary arteries decreasing blood flow to your heart Eventually the decreased blood flow may cause chest pain (angina) shortness of breath or other coronary artery disease signs and symptoms A complete blockage can cause a heart attack

Because coronary artery disease often develops over decades it can go unnoticed until you have a heart attack But theres plenty you can do to prevent and treat coronary artery disease Start by committing to a healthy lifestyle

If your coronary arteries narrow they cant supply enough oxygen-rich blood to your heart mdash especially when its beating hard such as during exercise At first the decreased blood flow may not cause any coronary artery disease symptoms As the plaques continue to build up in your coronary arteries however you may develop coronary artery disease signs and symptoms including

bullChest pain (angina) You may feel pressure or tightness in your chest as if someone were standing on your chest The pain referred to as angina is usually triggered by physical or emotional stress It typically goes away within minutes after stopping the stressful activity In some people especially women this pain may be fleeting or sharp and felt in the abdomen back or arm

bullShortness of breath If your heart cant pump enough blood to meet your bodys needs you may develop shortness of breath or extreme fatigue with exertion

bullHeart attack A completely blocked coronary artery may cause a heart attack The classic signs and symptoms of a heart attack include crushing pressure in your chest and pain in your shoulder or arm sometimes with shortness of breath and sweating Women are somewhat more likely than men are to experience less typical signs and symptoms of a heart attack such as nausea and back or jaw pain Sometimes a heart attack occurs without any apparent signs or symptoms

When to see a doctor

If you suspect youre having a heart attack immediately call 911 or your local emergency number If you dont have access to emergency medical services have someone drive you to the nearest hospital Drive yourself only as a last resort

If you have risk factors for coronary artery disease mdash such as high blood pressure high cholesterol tobacco use diabetes or obesity mdash talk to your doctor He or she may want to test you for the condition especially if you have signs or symptoms of narrowed arteries Even if you dont have evidence of coronary artery disease your doctor may recommend aggressive treatment of your risk factors Early diagnosis and

treatment may stop progression of coronary artery disease and help prevent a heart attack

and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

Written by a third grader on what his grandparents do

After Christmas a teacher asked her young pupils how they spent their holiday away from school

One child wrote the following

We always used to spend the holidays with Grandma and Grandpa They used to live in a

big brick house but Grandpa got retarded and they moved to Florida Now they live in a tin box

that has wheels but itrsquos strapped to the ground They ride around on their bicycles and wear

name tags because they dont know who they are anymore They go to a building called a wreck

center but they must have got it fixed because it is all okay now they do exercises there but they

dont do them very well There is a swimming pool too but they all just jump up and down in it with

hats on

At their gate there is a doll house with a little old man sitting in it He watches all day so nobody

can escape Sometimes they sneak out and go cruising in their golf carts Nobody there cooks

they just eat out And they eat the same thing every night - early birds Some of the people cant

get out past the man in the doll house The ones who do get out bring food back to the wrecked

center for pot luck My Grandma says that Grandpa worked all his life to earn his retardment and

says I should work hard so I can be retarded someday too When I earn my retardment I want to

be the man in the doll house Then I will let people out so they can visit their grandchildren

PRICELESS

Sometimes little ones say embarrassing things

When yoursquore alone you donrsquot mind

My little one was in the mall the other day and she hollered ldquoMa I need to peerdquo

With 1000 strangers around Her Ma said ldquoDonrsquot say that say you got to whisper

Of course nobody tells Daddy anything While I was watching football on Monday

night with 4 of my best buddies in the living room my little one came up and said

ldquoDaddy I got to whisperrdquo I said ldquocome whisper in Daddyrsquos earrdquo

ldquoCOMMON SENSE OBITUARYrdquo

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend Common Sense who has been with us for many years No one knows for sure how old he was since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape He will be remembered as having cultivated such valued lessons as

Knowing when to come in out of the rain

Why the early bird gets the worm

Life isnrsquot always fair

Maybe it was my fault

Common sense lived by simple sound financial policies (Donrsquot spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (Adults not children are in charge)

His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student only worsened his condition

Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children

It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion

Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses and criminals received better treatment than their victims

Common Sense took a beating when you couldnrsquot defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault

Common Sense finally gave up the will to live after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot She spilled a little in her lap and was promptly awarded a huge settlement

Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents Truth and Trust by his wife Discretion by his daughter Responsibility and son Reason

He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers I Know My Rights I Want It Now Someone Else is to Blame and Irsquom a Victim

Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone If you still remember him pass this on If not join the majority and do nothing

On our November 4th dance we were ldquobombardedrdquo as Paws amp Taws came with

2 squares to retrieve their banner and Grand Squares had enough members to steal our banner Fortunately Beausejour Swinging Squares did not have enough members otherwise our President Co-chairs would have had to forfeit their blouses

Co-chairs Laura and Henriette have instituted a special ldquothemerdquo by wearing a different hat each dancing night this season and this night Laurarsquos was definitely different as it has directions on how to wear it ldquoThe Hatrdquo was a hit and was passed around all evening

November 18th Pie Night was enjoyed by 4+ squares including visitors from

Beausejour Swinging Squares and Whirlaway Westerners

Our Christmas Party dance will be December 16th with finger food on the

menu

After a meeting several days ago I couldnt find my keys I quickly gave myself a personal TSA Pat Down

They werent in my pockets Suddenly I realized I must have left them in the car

Frantically I headed for the parking lot My husband has scolded me many times for leaving my keys in the cars ignition Hes afraid that the car could be stolen As I looked around the parking lot I realized he was right

The parking lot was empty I immediately called the police I gave them my location confessed that I had left my keys in the car and that it had been stolen

Then I made the most difficult call of all to my husband I left my keys in the car and its been stolen

There was a moment of silence I thought the call had been disconnected but then I heard his voice

Are you kidding me he barked I dropped you off

Now it was my turn to be silent

Embarrassed I said Well come and get me

He retorted I will as soon as I convince this cop that I didnt steal your damn car

Welcome to the golden years

Winter in Manitoba ndash 2001

My wife Linda and I made the decision to buy a brand new vehicle ndash a FORD ESCAPE Like all things new it didnrsquot take long to mark it up ndash we were involved in an accident and consequently our car had to go to the body shop for repairs We had car replacement coverage from MPIC and Frontier Toyota on Regent Avenue in Winnipeg was to supply us with a vehicle Linda and I took the Escape to the auto body repair shop and they in turn drove us over to Frontier who supplied us with a nice new Toyota vehicle Okay we are set

I had Linda drop me off at our house on Talbot Avenue She was going shopping so I asked her to take my pay cheque and cash it for me while she was out When Linda returned home she couldnrsquot open the garage ndash she got out of the Toyota to come in and get the garage opener - one problem - neither of us remembered to take it out of the Escape The Toyota LOCKED UP TIGHT as soon as she got out of it and left the keys in the ignition and the car running ldquoNo problemrdquo says Linda ldquoGive me the spare key and Irsquoll go and move the car so it isnrsquot blocking the lanerdquo The dealer did not give us a spare key Now the car is idling away half way blocking the back lane and her purse WITH MY CASHED PAY CHEQUE in it is sitting in plain view on the passenger seat Keeping calm I called Frontier ndash whoops ndash after 600pm ndash closed

It is -40 degrees outside I call CAA for assistance They advise it will be approximately 2 hours before they can come and help us out I put on my snowmobile suit and go outside to stand guard over my pay cheque Four hours go by ndash no CAA It is now 1000pm and Irsquom darned cold - I call CAA again ndash did they forget about me Oh no they tell me it wonrsquot be long now there is a truck in the area At 1100pm with no CAA in sight I fire up my computer and start looking for an emergency call number for Toyota Success and bonus - the number is operative 247 I place my call and explain my situation ndash the lady who answers is in Alabama ndash she has never heard of Manitoba never mind temperatures of -40 degrees however she is sure she can find assistance within the hour Okay ndash it is now 100am ndash Irsquom no longer cold ndash Irsquom numb and my patience is getting pretty thin I call the lady back ndash yes she has found assistance ndash CAA I call CAA again ndash I am assured that CAA customers come first and that I am at the top of their list ndash the truck should be at my house within minutes Lo and behold ndash 200am and what did I see ndash the CAA tow truck The driver advised he had a special tool to open the door with ndash it would only be a matter of min-utes He got it stuck

December 2014 - Coronary Artery Disease

Coronary artery disease develops when your coronary arteries mdash the major blood vessels that supply your heart with blood oxygen and nutrients mdash become damaged or diseased Cholesterol-containing deposits (plaque) in your arteries and inflammation are usually to blame for coronary artery disease

When plaques build up they narrow your coronary arteries decreasing blood flow to your heart Eventually the decreased blood flow may cause chest pain (angina) shortness of breath or other coronary artery disease signs and symptoms A complete blockage can cause a heart attack

Because coronary artery disease often develops over decades it can go unnoticed until you have a heart attack But theres plenty you can do to prevent and treat coronary artery disease Start by committing to a healthy lifestyle

If your coronary arteries narrow they cant supply enough oxygen-rich blood to your heart mdash especially when its beating hard such as during exercise At first the decreased blood flow may not cause any coronary artery disease symptoms As the plaques continue to build up in your coronary arteries however you may develop coronary artery disease signs and symptoms including

bullChest pain (angina) You may feel pressure or tightness in your chest as if someone were standing on your chest The pain referred to as angina is usually triggered by physical or emotional stress It typically goes away within minutes after stopping the stressful activity In some people especially women this pain may be fleeting or sharp and felt in the abdomen back or arm

bullShortness of breath If your heart cant pump enough blood to meet your bodys needs you may develop shortness of breath or extreme fatigue with exertion

bullHeart attack A completely blocked coronary artery may cause a heart attack The classic signs and symptoms of a heart attack include crushing pressure in your chest and pain in your shoulder or arm sometimes with shortness of breath and sweating Women are somewhat more likely than men are to experience less typical signs and symptoms of a heart attack such as nausea and back or jaw pain Sometimes a heart attack occurs without any apparent signs or symptoms

When to see a doctor

If you suspect youre having a heart attack immediately call 911 or your local emergency number If you dont have access to emergency medical services have someone drive you to the nearest hospital Drive yourself only as a last resort

If you have risk factors for coronary artery disease mdash such as high blood pressure high cholesterol tobacco use diabetes or obesity mdash talk to your doctor He or she may want to test you for the condition especially if you have signs or symptoms of narrowed arteries Even if you dont have evidence of coronary artery disease your doctor may recommend aggressive treatment of your risk factors Early diagnosis and

treatment may stop progression of coronary artery disease and help prevent a heart attack

Written by a third grader on what his grandparents do

After Christmas a teacher asked her young pupils how they spent their holiday away from school

One child wrote the following

We always used to spend the holidays with Grandma and Grandpa They used to live in a

big brick house but Grandpa got retarded and they moved to Florida Now they live in a tin box

that has wheels but itrsquos strapped to the ground They ride around on their bicycles and wear

name tags because they dont know who they are anymore They go to a building called a wreck

center but they must have got it fixed because it is all okay now they do exercises there but they

dont do them very well There is a swimming pool too but they all just jump up and down in it with

hats on

At their gate there is a doll house with a little old man sitting in it He watches all day so nobody

can escape Sometimes they sneak out and go cruising in their golf carts Nobody there cooks

they just eat out And they eat the same thing every night - early birds Some of the people cant

get out past the man in the doll house The ones who do get out bring food back to the wrecked

center for pot luck My Grandma says that Grandpa worked all his life to earn his retardment and

says I should work hard so I can be retarded someday too When I earn my retardment I want to

be the man in the doll house Then I will let people out so they can visit their grandchildren

PRICELESS

Sometimes little ones say embarrassing things

When yoursquore alone you donrsquot mind

My little one was in the mall the other day and she hollered ldquoMa I need to peerdquo

With 1000 strangers around Her Ma said ldquoDonrsquot say that say you got to whisper

Of course nobody tells Daddy anything While I was watching football on Monday

night with 4 of my best buddies in the living room my little one came up and said

ldquoDaddy I got to whisperrdquo I said ldquocome whisper in Daddyrsquos earrdquo

ldquoCOMMON SENSE OBITUARYrdquo

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend Common Sense who has been with us for many years No one knows for sure how old he was since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape He will be remembered as having cultivated such valued lessons as

Knowing when to come in out of the rain

Why the early bird gets the worm

Life isnrsquot always fair

Maybe it was my fault

Common sense lived by simple sound financial policies (Donrsquot spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (Adults not children are in charge)

His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student only worsened his condition

Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children

It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion

Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses and criminals received better treatment than their victims

Common Sense took a beating when you couldnrsquot defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault

Common Sense finally gave up the will to live after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot She spilled a little in her lap and was promptly awarded a huge settlement

Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents Truth and Trust by his wife Discretion by his daughter Responsibility and son Reason

He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers I Know My Rights I Want It Now Someone Else is to Blame and Irsquom a Victim

Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone If you still remember him pass this on If not join the majority and do nothing

On our November 4th dance we were ldquobombardedrdquo as Paws amp Taws came with

2 squares to retrieve their banner and Grand Squares had enough members to steal our banner Fortunately Beausejour Swinging Squares did not have enough members otherwise our President Co-chairs would have had to forfeit their blouses

Co-chairs Laura and Henriette have instituted a special ldquothemerdquo by wearing a different hat each dancing night this season and this night Laurarsquos was definitely different as it has directions on how to wear it ldquoThe Hatrdquo was a hit and was passed around all evening

November 18th Pie Night was enjoyed by 4+ squares including visitors from

Beausejour Swinging Squares and Whirlaway Westerners

Our Christmas Party dance will be December 16th with finger food on the

menu

believers We live in a world that is teeming with temptation and distractions - a world where

good and evil struggle in a constant battle to win our hearts and souls Our challenge is to ensure

that we cast out lot on the side of God When we worship God faithfully and fervently we are

blessed Come worship with us on Sundays at 10 AM at the LUD Hall in Richer Everyone is

After a meeting several days ago I couldnt find my keys I quickly gave myself a personal TSA Pat Down

They werent in my pockets Suddenly I realized I must have left them in the car

Frantically I headed for the parking lot My husband has scolded me many times for leaving my keys in the cars ignition Hes afraid that the car could be stolen As I looked around the parking lot I realized he was right

The parking lot was empty I immediately called the police I gave them my location confessed that I had left my keys in the car and that it had been stolen

Then I made the most difficult call of all to my husband I left my keys in the car and its been stolen

There was a moment of silence I thought the call had been disconnected but then I heard his voice

Are you kidding me he barked I dropped you off

Now it was my turn to be silent

Embarrassed I said Well come and get me

He retorted I will as soon as I convince this cop that I didnt steal your damn car

Welcome to the golden years

P A R A D I S E V I L L A G E N E W S

Winter in Manitoba ndash 2001

My wife Linda and I made the decision to buy a brand new vehicle ndash a FORD ESCAPE Like all things new it didnrsquot take long to mark it up ndash we were involved in an accident and consequently our car had to go to the body shop for repairs We had car replacement coverage from MPIC and Frontier Toyota on Regent Avenue in Winnipeg was to supply us with a vehicle Linda and I took the Escape to the auto body repair shop and they in turn drove us over to Frontier who supplied us with a nice new Toyota vehicle Okay we are set

I had Linda drop me off at our house on Talbot Avenue She was going shopping so I asked her to take my pay cheque and cash it for me while she was out When Linda returned home she couldnrsquot open the garage ndash she got out of the Toyota to come in and get the garage opener - one problem - neither of us remembered to take it out of the Escape The Toyota LOCKED UP TIGHT as soon as she got out of it and left the keys in the ignition and the car running ldquoNo problemrdquo says Linda ldquoGive me the spare key and Irsquoll go and move the car so it isnrsquot blocking the lanerdquo The dealer did not give us a spare key Now the car is idling away half way blocking the back lane and her purse WITH MY CASHED PAY CHEQUE in it is sitting in plain view on the passenger seat Keeping calm I called Frontier ndash whoops ndash after 600pm ndash closed

It is -40 degrees outside I call CAA for assistance They advise it will be approximately 2 hours before they can come and help us out I put on my snowmobile suit and go outside to stand guard over my pay cheque Four hours go by ndash no CAA It is now 1000pm and Irsquom darned cold - I call CAA again ndash did they forget about me Oh no they tell me it wonrsquot be long now there is a truck in the area At 1100pm with no CAA in sight I fire up my computer and start looking for an emergency call number for Toyota Success and bonus - the number is operative 247 I place my call and explain my situation ndash the lady who answers is in Alabama ndash she has never heard of Manitoba never mind temperatures of -40 degrees however she is sure she can find assistance within the hour Okay ndash it is now 100am ndash Irsquom no longer cold ndash Irsquom numb and my patience is getting pretty thin I call the lady back ndash yes she has found assistance ndash CAA I call CAA again ndash I am assured that CAA customers come first and that I am at the top of their list ndash the truck should be at my house within minutes Lo and behold ndash 200am and what did I see ndash the CAA tow truck The driver advised he had a special tool to open the door with ndash it would only be a matter of min-utes He got it stuck

The CAA dispatcher says that their expert is just coming off shift ndash hersquod be right over 300am

The expert has now arrived He too got the door jimmy stuck Okay we now have a jimmy stuck in the window of the driversrsquo door and in the window of the passengersrsquo door Neither can be removed At this point Irsquom done ndash It is 500am I manually open the garage door from the inside have CAA push the car into the garage ndash I leave the garage door slightly open to allow exhaust to escape as the car is still idling away Finally at 800am I get a spare key from Frontier Linda and I drove that Toyota with the jimmy bars banging against the car roof for a week Frontier had to take both doors apart in order to remove them

December 2014 - Coronary Artery Disease

Coronary artery disease develops when your coronary arteries mdash the major blood vessels that supply your heart with blood oxygen and nutrients mdash become damaged or diseased Cholesterol-containing deposits (plaque) in your arteries and inflammation are usually to blame for coronary artery disease

When plaques build up they narrow your coronary arteries decreasing blood flow to your heart Eventually the decreased blood flow may cause chest pain (angina) shortness of breath or other coronary artery disease signs and symptoms A complete blockage can cause a heart attack

Because coronary artery disease often develops over decades it can go unnoticed until you have a heart attack But theres plenty you can do to prevent and treat coronary artery disease Start by committing to a healthy lifestyle

If your coronary arteries narrow they cant supply enough oxygen-rich blood to your heart mdash especially when its beating hard such as during exercise At first the decreased blood flow may not cause any coronary artery disease symptoms As the plaques continue to build up in your coronary arteries however you may develop coronary artery disease signs and symptoms including

bullChest pain (angina) You may feel pressure or tightness in your chest as if someone were standing on your chest The pain referred to as angina is usually triggered by physical or emotional stress It typically goes away within minutes after stopping the stressful activity In some people especially women this pain may be fleeting or sharp and felt in the abdomen back or arm

bullShortness of breath If your heart cant pump enough blood to meet your bodys needs you may develop shortness of breath or extreme fatigue with exertion

bullHeart attack A completely blocked coronary artery may cause a heart attack The classic signs and symptoms of a heart attack include crushing pressure in your chest and pain in your shoulder or arm sometimes with shortness of breath and sweating Women are somewhat more likely than men are to experience less typical signs and symptoms of a heart attack such as nausea and back or jaw pain Sometimes a heart attack occurs without any apparent signs or symptoms

When to see a doctor

If you suspect youre having a heart attack immediately call 911 or your local emergency number If you dont have access to emergency medical services have someone drive you to the nearest hospital Drive yourself only as a last resort

If you have risk factors for coronary artery disease mdash such as high blood pressure high cholesterol tobacco use diabetes or obesity mdash talk to your doctor He or she may want to test you for the condition especially if you have signs or symptoms of narrowed arteries Even if you dont have evidence of coronary artery disease your doctor may recommend aggressive treatment of your risk factors Early diagnosis and

treatment may stop progression of coronary artery disease and help prevent a heart attack

The three lsquoMousketeersrsquo Jesse the Sheltie Buttons the Lhasa Apso and Zak the Schnauzer were a big part of the original bushwalking dogs who always accompanied us when we first started the trails Much to the surprise of some these 3 little scamps also won the top 3 prizes for the lsquoMost Obedient Dogrsquo category at the very first dog show we held in the Village in 2005 No doubt they are together again and gone lsquoWalk-Aboutrsquo

ZAK the little Schnauzer with the big ego is sadly no longer with us While I really miss the little guy I know he has gone to be with his previous owner Jean Henry

Written by a third grader on what his grandparents do

After Christmas a teacher asked her young pupils how they spent their holiday away from school

One child wrote the following

We always used to spend the holidays with Grandma and Grandpa They used to live in a

big brick house but Grandpa got retarded and they moved to Florida Now they live in a tin box

that has wheels but itrsquos strapped to the ground They ride around on their bicycles and wear

name tags because they dont know who they are anymore They go to a building called a wreck

center but they must have got it fixed because it is all okay now they do exercises there but they

dont do them very well There is a swimming pool too but they all just jump up and down in it with

hats on

At their gate there is a doll house with a little old man sitting in it He watches all day so nobody

can escape Sometimes they sneak out and go cruising in their golf carts Nobody there cooks

they just eat out And they eat the same thing every night - early birds Some of the people cant

get out past the man in the doll house The ones who do get out bring food back to the wrecked

center for pot luck My Grandma says that Grandpa worked all his life to earn his retardment and

says I should work hard so I can be retarded someday too When I earn my retardment I want to

be the man in the doll house Then I will let people out so they can visit their grandchildren

PRICELESS

Sometimes little ones say embarrassing things

When yoursquore alone you donrsquot mind

My little one was in the mall the other day and she hollered ldquoMa I need to peerdquo

With 1000 strangers around Her Ma said ldquoDonrsquot say that say you got to whisper

Of course nobody tells Daddy anything While I was watching football on Monday

night with 4 of my best buddies in the living room my little one came up and said

ldquoDaddy I got to whisperrdquo I said ldquocome whisper in Daddyrsquos earrdquo

ldquoCOMMON SENSE OBITUARYrdquo

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend Common Sense who has been with us for many years No one knows for sure how old he was since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape He will be remembered as having cultivated such valued lessons as

Knowing when to come in out of the rain

Why the early bird gets the worm

Life isnrsquot always fair

Maybe it was my fault

Common sense lived by simple sound financial policies (Donrsquot spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (Adults not children are in charge)

His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student only worsened his condition

Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children

It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion

Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses and criminals received better treatment than their victims

Common Sense took a beating when you couldnrsquot defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault

Common Sense finally gave up the will to live after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot She spilled a little in her lap and was promptly awarded a huge settlement

Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents Truth and Trust by his wife Discretion by his daughter Responsibility and son Reason

He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers I Know My Rights I Want It Now Someone Else is to Blame and Irsquom a Victim

Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone If you still remember him pass this on If not join the majority and do nothing

On our November 4th dance we were ldquobombardedrdquo as Paws amp Taws came with

2 squares to retrieve their banner and Grand Squares had enough members to steal our banner Fortunately Beausejour Swinging Squares did not have enough members otherwise our President Co-chairs would have had to forfeit their blouses

Co-chairs Laura and Henriette have instituted a special ldquothemerdquo by wearing a different hat each dancing night this season and this night Laurarsquos was definitely different as it has directions on how to wear it ldquoThe Hatrdquo was a hit and was passed around all evening

November 18th Pie Night was enjoyed by 4+ squares including visitors from

Beausejour Swinging Squares and Whirlaway Westerners

Our Christmas Party dance will be December 16th with finger food on the

menu

Merry Christmas and Good Health in 2015

After a meeting several days ago I couldnt find my keys I quickly gave myself a personal TSA Pat Down

They werent in my pockets Suddenly I realized I must have left them in the car

Frantically I headed for the parking lot My husband has scolded me many times for leaving my keys in the cars ignition Hes afraid that the car could be stolen As I looked around the parking lot I realized he was right

The parking lot was empty I immediately called the police I gave them my location confessed that I had left my keys in the car and that it had been stolen

Then I made the most difficult call of all to my husband I left my keys in the car and its been stolen

There was a moment of silence I thought the call had been disconnected but then I heard his voice

Are you kidding me he barked I dropped you off

Now it was my turn to be silent

Embarrassed I said Well come and get me

He retorted I will as soon as I convince this cop that I didnt steal your damn car

Welcome to the golden years

Winter in Manitoba ndash 2001

My wife Linda and I made the decision to buy a brand new vehicle ndash a FORD ESCAPE Like all things new it didnrsquot take long to mark it up ndash we were involved in an accident and consequently our car had to go to the body shop for repairs We had car replacement coverage from MPIC and Frontier Toyota on Regent Avenue in Winnipeg was to supply us with a vehicle Linda and I took the Escape to the auto body repair shop and they in turn drove us over to Frontier who supplied us with a nice new Toyota vehicle Okay we are set

I had Linda drop me off at our house on Talbot Avenue She was going shopping so I asked her to take my pay cheque and cash it for me while she was out When Linda returned home she couldnrsquot open the garage ndash she got out of the Toyota to come in and get the garage opener - one problem - neither of us remembered to take it out of the Escape The Toyota LOCKED UP TIGHT as soon as she got out of it and left the keys in the ignition and the car running ldquoNo problemrdquo says Linda ldquoGive me the spare key and Irsquoll go and move the car so it isnrsquot blocking the lanerdquo The dealer did not give us a spare key Now the car is idling away half way blocking the back lane and her purse WITH MY CASHED PAY CHEQUE in it is sitting in plain view on the passenger seat Keeping calm I called Frontier ndash whoops ndash after 600pm ndash closed

It is -40 degrees outside I call CAA for assistance They advise it will be approximately 2 hours before they can come and help us out I put on my snowmobile suit and go outside to stand guard over my pay cheque Four hours go by ndash no CAA It is now 1000pm and Irsquom darned cold - I call CAA again ndash did they forget about me Oh no they tell me it wonrsquot be long now there is a truck in the area At 1100pm with no CAA in sight I fire up my computer and start looking for an emergency call number for Toyota Success and bonus - the number is operative 247 I place my call and explain my situation ndash the lady who answers is in Alabama ndash she has never heard of Manitoba never mind temperatures of -40 degrees however she is sure she can find assistance within the hour Okay ndash it is now 100am ndash Irsquom no longer cold ndash Irsquom numb and my patience is getting pretty thin I call the lady back ndash yes she has found assistance ndash CAA I call CAA again ndash I am assured that CAA customers come first and that I am at the top of their list ndash the truck should be at my house within minutes Lo and behold ndash 200am and what did I see ndash the CAA tow truck The driver advised he had a special tool to open the door with ndash it would only be a matter of min-utes He got it stuck

The CAA dispatcher says that their expert is just coming off shift ndash hersquod be right over 300am

The expert has now arrived He too got the door jimmy stuck Okay we now have a jimmy stuck in the window of the driversrsquo door and in the window of the passengersrsquo door Neither can be removed At this point Irsquom done ndash It is 500am I manually open the garage door from the inside have CAA push the car into the garage ndash I leave the garage door slightly open to allow exhaust to escape as the car is still idling away Finally at 800am I get a spare key from Frontier Linda and I drove that Toyota with the jimmy bars banging against the car roof for a week Frontier had to take both doors apart in order to remove them

December 2014 - Coronary Artery Disease

Coronary artery disease develops when your coronary arteries mdash the major blood vessels that supply your heart with blood oxygen and nutrients mdash become damaged or diseased Cholesterol-containing deposits (plaque) in your arteries and inflammation are usually to blame for coronary artery disease

When plaques build up they narrow your coronary arteries decreasing blood flow to your heart Eventually the decreased blood flow may cause chest pain (angina) shortness of breath or other coronary artery disease signs and symptoms A complete blockage can cause a heart attack

Because coronary artery disease often develops over decades it can go unnoticed until you have a heart attack But theres plenty you can do to prevent and treat coronary artery disease Start by committing to a healthy lifestyle

If your coronary arteries narrow they cant supply enough oxygen-rich blood to your heart mdash especially when its beating hard such as during exercise At first the decreased blood flow may not cause any coronary artery disease symptoms As the plaques continue to build up in your coronary arteries however you may develop coronary artery disease signs and symptoms including

bullChest pain (angina) You may feel pressure or tightness in your chest as if someone were standing on your chest The pain referred to as angina is usually triggered by physical or emotional stress It typically goes away within minutes after stopping the stressful activity In some people especially women this pain may be fleeting or sharp and felt in the abdomen back or arm

bullShortness of breath If your heart cant pump enough blood to meet your bodys needs you may develop shortness of breath or extreme fatigue with exertion

bullHeart attack A completely blocked coronary artery may cause a heart attack The classic signs and symptoms of a heart attack include crushing pressure in your chest and pain in your shoulder or arm sometimes with shortness of breath and sweating Women are somewhat more likely than men are to experience less typical signs and symptoms of a heart attack such as nausea and back or jaw pain Sometimes a heart attack occurs without any apparent signs or symptoms

When to see a doctor

If you suspect youre having a heart attack immediately call 911 or your local emergency number If you dont have access to emergency medical services have someone drive you to the nearest hospital Drive yourself only as a last resort

If you have risk factors for coronary artery disease mdash such as high blood pressure high cholesterol tobacco use diabetes or obesity mdash talk to your doctor He or she may want to test you for the condition especially if you have signs or symptoms of narrowed arteries Even if you dont have evidence of coronary artery disease your doctor may recommend aggressive treatment of your risk factors Early diagnosis and

treatment may stop progression of coronary artery disease and help prevent a heart attack

The three lsquoMousketeersrsquo Jesse the Sheltie Buttons the Lhasa Apso and Zak the Schnauzer were a big part of the original bushwalking dogs who always accompanied us when we first started the trails Much to the surprise of some these 3 little scamps also won the top 3 prizes for the lsquoMost Obedient Dogrsquo category at the very first dog show we held in the Village in 2005 No doubt they are together again and gone lsquoWalk-Aboutrsquo

ZAK the little Schnauzer with the big ego is sadly no longer with us While I really miss the little guy I know he has gone to be with his previous owner Jean Henry

Written by a third grader on what his grandparents do

After Christmas a teacher asked her young pupils how they spent their holiday away from school

One child wrote the following

We always used to spend the holidays with Grandma and Grandpa They used to live in a

big brick house but Grandpa got retarded and they moved to Florida Now they live in a tin box

that has wheels but itrsquos strapped to the ground They ride around on their bicycles and wear

name tags because they dont know who they are anymore They go to a building called a wreck

center but they must have got it fixed because it is all okay now they do exercises there but they

dont do them very well There is a swimming pool too but they all just jump up and down in it with

hats on

At their gate there is a doll house with a little old man sitting in it He watches all day so nobody

can escape Sometimes they sneak out and go cruising in their golf carts Nobody there cooks

they just eat out And they eat the same thing every night - early birds Some of the people cant

get out past the man in the doll house The ones who do get out bring food back to the wrecked

center for pot luck My Grandma says that Grandpa worked all his life to earn his retardment and

says I should work hard so I can be retarded someday too When I earn my retardment I want to

be the man in the doll house Then I will let people out so they can visit their grandchildren

PRICELESS

Sometimes little ones say embarrassing things

When yoursquore alone you donrsquot mind

My little one was in the mall the other day and she hollered ldquoMa I need to peerdquo

With 1000 strangers around Her Ma said ldquoDonrsquot say that say you got to whisper

Of course nobody tells Daddy anything While I was watching football on Monday

night with 4 of my best buddies in the living room my little one came up and said

ldquoDaddy I got to whisperrdquo I said ldquocome whisper in Daddyrsquos earrdquo

ldquoCOMMON SENSE OBITUARYrdquo

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend Common Sense who has been with us for many years No one knows for sure how old he was since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape He will be remembered as having cultivated such valued lessons as

Knowing when to come in out of the rain

Why the early bird gets the worm

Life isnrsquot always fair

Maybe it was my fault

Common sense lived by simple sound financial policies (Donrsquot spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (Adults not children are in charge)

His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student only worsened his condition

Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children

It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion

Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses and criminals received better treatment than their victims

Common Sense took a beating when you couldnrsquot defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault

Common Sense finally gave up the will to live after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot She spilled a little in her lap and was promptly awarded a huge settlement

Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents Truth and Trust by his wife Discretion by his daughter Responsibility and son Reason

He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers I Know My Rights I Want It Now Someone Else is to Blame and Irsquom a Victim

Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone If you still remember him pass this on If not join the majority and do nothing

On our November 4th dance we were ldquobombardedrdquo as Paws amp Taws came with

2 squares to retrieve their banner and Grand Squares had enough members to steal our banner Fortunately Beausejour Swinging Squares did not have enough members otherwise our President Co-chairs would have had to forfeit their blouses

Co-chairs Laura and Henriette have instituted a special ldquothemerdquo by wearing a different hat each dancing night this season and this night Laurarsquos was definitely different as it has directions on how to wear it ldquoThe Hatrdquo was a hit and was passed around all evening

November 18th Pie Night was enjoyed by 4+ squares including visitors from

Beausejour Swinging Squares and Whirlaway Westerners

Our Christmas Party dance will be December 16th with finger food on the

menu

After a meeting several days ago I couldnt find my keys I quickly gave myself a personal TSA Pat Down

They werent in my pockets Suddenly I realized I must have left them in the car

Frantically I headed for the parking lot My husband has scolded me many times for leaving my keys in the cars ignition Hes afraid that the car could be stolen As I looked around the parking lot I realized he was right

The parking lot was empty I immediately called the police I gave them my location confessed that I had left my keys in the car and that it had been stolen

Then I made the most difficult call of all to my husband I left my keys in the car and its been stolen

There was a moment of silence I thought the call had been disconnected but then I heard his voice

Are you kidding me he barked I dropped you off

Now it was my turn to be silent

Embarrassed I said Well come and get me

He retorted I will as soon as I convince this cop that I didnt steal your damn car

Welcome to the golden years

Winter in Manitoba ndash 2001

My wife Linda and I made the decision to buy a brand new vehicle ndash a FORD ESCAPE Like all things new it didnrsquot take long to mark it up ndash we were involved in an accident and consequently our car had to go to the body shop for repairs We had car replacement coverage from MPIC and Frontier Toyota on Regent Avenue in Winnipeg was to supply us with a vehicle Linda and I took the Escape to the auto body repair shop and they in turn drove us over to Frontier who supplied us with a nice new Toyota vehicle Okay we are set

I had Linda drop me off at our house on Talbot Avenue She was going shopping so I asked her to take my pay cheque and cash it for me while she was out When Linda returned home she couldnrsquot open the garage ndash she got out of the Toyota to come in and get the garage opener - one problem - neither of us remembered to take it out of the Escape The Toyota LOCKED UP TIGHT as soon as she got out of it and left the keys in the ignition and the car running ldquoNo problemrdquo says Linda ldquoGive me the spare key and Irsquoll go and move the car so it isnrsquot blocking the lanerdquo The dealer did not give us a spare key Now the car is idling away half way blocking the back lane and her purse WITH MY CASHED PAY CHEQUE in it is sitting in plain view on the passenger seat Keeping calm I called Frontier ndash whoops ndash after 600pm ndash closed

It is -40 degrees outside I call CAA for assistance They advise it will be approximately 2 hours before they can come and help us out I put on my snowmobile suit and go outside to stand guard over my pay cheque Four hours go by ndash no CAA It is now 1000pm and Irsquom darned cold - I call CAA again ndash did they forget about me Oh no they tell me it wonrsquot be long now there is a truck in the area At 1100pm with no CAA in sight I fire up my computer and start looking for an emergency call number for Toyota Success and bonus - the number is operative 247 I place my call and explain my situation ndash the lady who answers is in Alabama ndash she has never heard of Manitoba never mind temperatures of -40 degrees however she is sure she can find assistance within the hour Okay ndash it is now 100am ndash Irsquom no longer cold ndash Irsquom numb and my patience is getting pretty thin I call the lady back ndash yes she has found assistance ndash CAA I call CAA again ndash I am assured that CAA customers come first and that I am at the top of their list ndash the truck should be at my house within minutes Lo and behold ndash 200am and what did I see ndash the CAA tow truck The driver advised he had a special tool to open the door with ndash it would only be a matter of min-utes He got it stuck

The CAA dispatcher says that their expert is just coming off shift ndash hersquod be right over 300am

The expert has now arrived He too got the door jimmy stuck Okay we now have a jimmy stuck in the window of the driversrsquo door and in the window of the passengersrsquo door Neither can be removed At this point Irsquom done ndash It is 500am I manually open the garage door from the inside have CAA push the car into the garage ndash I leave the garage door slightly open to allow exhaust to escape as the car is still idling away Finally at 800am I get a spare key from Frontier Linda and I drove that Toyota with the jimmy bars banging against the car roof for a week Frontier had to take both doors apart in order to remove them

December 2014 - Coronary Artery Disease

Coronary artery disease develops when your coronary arteries mdash the major blood vessels that supply your heart with blood oxygen and nutrients mdash become damaged or diseased Cholesterol-containing deposits (plaque) in your arteries and inflammation are usually to blame for coronary artery disease

When plaques build up they narrow your coronary arteries decreasing blood flow to your heart Eventually the decreased blood flow may cause chest pain (angina) shortness of breath or other coronary artery disease signs and symptoms A complete blockage can cause a heart attack

Because coronary artery disease often develops over decades it can go unnoticed until you have a heart attack But theres plenty you can do to prevent and treat coronary artery disease Start by committing to a healthy lifestyle

If your coronary arteries narrow they cant supply enough oxygen-rich blood to your heart mdash especially when its beating hard such as during exercise At first the decreased blood flow may not cause any coronary artery disease symptoms As the plaques continue to build up in your coronary arteries however you may develop coronary artery disease signs and symptoms including

bullChest pain (angina) You may feel pressure or tightness in your chest as if someone were standing on your chest The pain referred to as angina is usually triggered by physical or emotional stress It typically goes away within minutes after stopping the stressful activity In some people especially women this pain may be fleeting or sharp and felt in the abdomen back or arm

bullShortness of breath If your heart cant pump enough blood to meet your bodys needs you may develop shortness of breath or extreme fatigue with exertion

bullHeart attack A completely blocked coronary artery may cause a heart attack The classic signs and symptoms of a heart attack include crushing pressure in your chest and pain in your shoulder or arm sometimes with shortness of breath and sweating Women are somewhat more likely than men are to experience less typical signs and symptoms of a heart attack such as nausea and back or jaw pain Sometimes a heart attack occurs without any apparent signs or symptoms

When to see a doctor

If you suspect youre having a heart attack immediately call 911 or your local emergency number If you dont have access to emergency medical services have someone drive you to the nearest hospital Drive yourself only as a last resort

If you have risk factors for coronary artery disease mdash such as high blood pressure high cholesterol tobacco use diabetes or obesity mdash talk to your doctor He or she may want to test you for the condition especially if you have signs or symptoms of narrowed arteries Even if you dont have evidence of coronary artery disease your doctor may recommend aggressive treatment of your risk factors Early diagnosis and

treatment may stop progression of coronary artery disease and help prevent a heart attack

and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

The three lsquoMousketeersrsquo Jesse the Sheltie Buttons the Lhasa Apso and Zak the Schnauzer were a big part of the original bushwalking dogs who always accompanied us when we first started the trails Much to the surprise of some these 3 little scamps also won the top 3 prizes for the lsquoMost Obedient Dogrsquo category at the very first dog show we held in the Village in 2005 No doubt they are together again and gone lsquoWalk-Aboutrsquo

ZAK the little Schnauzer with the big ego is sadly no longer with us While I really miss the little guy I know he has gone to be with his previous owner Jean Henry

Written by a third grader on what his grandparents do

After Christmas a teacher asked her young pupils how they spent their holiday away from school

One child wrote the following

We always used to spend the holidays with Grandma and Grandpa They used to live in a

big brick house but Grandpa got retarded and they moved to Florida Now they live in a tin box

that has wheels but itrsquos strapped to the ground They ride around on their bicycles and wear

name tags because they dont know who they are anymore They go to a building called a wreck

center but they must have got it fixed because it is all okay now they do exercises there but they

dont do them very well There is a swimming pool too but they all just jump up and down in it with

hats on

At their gate there is a doll house with a little old man sitting in it He watches all day so nobody

can escape Sometimes they sneak out and go cruising in their golf carts Nobody there cooks

they just eat out And they eat the same thing every night - early birds Some of the people cant

get out past the man in the doll house The ones who do get out bring food back to the wrecked

center for pot luck My Grandma says that Grandpa worked all his life to earn his retardment and

says I should work hard so I can be retarded someday too When I earn my retardment I want to

be the man in the doll house Then I will let people out so they can visit their grandchildren

PRICELESS

Sometimes little ones say embarrassing things

When yoursquore alone you donrsquot mind

My little one was in the mall the other day and she hollered ldquoMa I need to peerdquo

With 1000 strangers around Her Ma said ldquoDonrsquot say that say you got to whisper

Of course nobody tells Daddy anything While I was watching football on Monday

night with 4 of my best buddies in the living room my little one came up and said

ldquoDaddy I got to whisperrdquo I said ldquocome whisper in Daddyrsquos earrdquo

ldquoCOMMON SENSE OBITUARYrdquo

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend Common Sense who has been with us for many years No one knows for sure how old he was since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape He will be remembered as having cultivated such valued lessons as

Knowing when to come in out of the rain

Why the early bird gets the worm

Life isnrsquot always fair

Maybe it was my fault

Common sense lived by simple sound financial policies (Donrsquot spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (Adults not children are in charge)

His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student only worsened his condition

Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children

It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion

Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses and criminals received better treatment than their victims

Common Sense took a beating when you couldnrsquot defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault

Common Sense finally gave up the will to live after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot She spilled a little in her lap and was promptly awarded a huge settlement

Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents Truth and Trust by his wife Discretion by his daughter Responsibility and son Reason

He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers I Know My Rights I Want It Now Someone Else is to Blame and Irsquom a Victim

Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone If you still remember him pass this on If not join the majority and do nothing

On our November 4th dance we were ldquobombardedrdquo as Paws amp Taws came with

2 squares to retrieve their banner and Grand Squares had enough members to steal our banner Fortunately Beausejour Swinging Squares did not have enough members otherwise our President Co-chairs would have had to forfeit their blouses

Co-chairs Laura and Henriette have instituted a special ldquothemerdquo by wearing a different hat each dancing night this season and this night Laurarsquos was definitely different as it has directions on how to wear it ldquoThe Hatrdquo was a hit and was passed around all evening

November 18th Pie Night was enjoyed by 4+ squares including visitors from

Beausejour Swinging Squares and Whirlaway Westerners

Our Christmas Party dance will be December 16th with finger food on the

menu

After a meeting several days ago I couldnt find my keys I quickly gave myself a personal TSA Pat Down

They werent in my pockets Suddenly I realized I must have left them in the car

Frantically I headed for the parking lot My husband has scolded me many times for leaving my keys in the cars ignition Hes afraid that the car could be stolen As I looked around the parking lot I realized he was right

The parking lot was empty I immediately called the police I gave them my location confessed that I had left my keys in the car and that it had been stolen

Then I made the most difficult call of all to my husband I left my keys in the car and its been stolen

There was a moment of silence I thought the call had been disconnected but then I heard his voice

Are you kidding me he barked I dropped you off

Now it was my turn to be silent

Embarrassed I said Well come and get me

He retorted I will as soon as I convince this cop that I didnt steal your damn car

Welcome to the golden years

Winter in Manitoba ndash 2001

My wife Linda and I made the decision to buy a brand new vehicle ndash a FORD ESCAPE Like all things new it didnrsquot take long to mark it up ndash we were involved in an accident and consequently our car had to go to the body shop for repairs We had car replacement coverage from MPIC and Frontier Toyota on Regent Avenue in Winnipeg was to supply us with a vehicle Linda and I took the Escape to the auto body repair shop and they in turn drove us over to Frontier who supplied us with a nice new Toyota vehicle Okay we are set

I had Linda drop me off at our house on Talbot Avenue She was going shopping so I asked her to take my pay cheque and cash it for me while she was out When Linda returned home she couldnrsquot open the garage ndash she got out of the Toyota to come in and get the garage opener - one problem - neither of us remembered to take it out of the Escape The Toyota LOCKED UP TIGHT as soon as she got out of it and left the keys in the ignition and the car running ldquoNo problemrdquo says Linda ldquoGive me the spare key and Irsquoll go and move the car so it isnrsquot blocking the lanerdquo The dealer did not give us a spare key Now the car is idling away half way blocking the back lane and her purse WITH MY CASHED PAY CHEQUE in it is sitting in plain view on the passenger seat Keeping calm I called Frontier ndash whoops ndash after 600pm ndash closed

It is -40 degrees outside I call CAA for assistance They advise it will be approximately 2 hours before they can come and help us out I put on my snowmobile suit and go outside to stand guard over my pay cheque Four hours go by ndash no CAA It is now 1000pm and Irsquom darned cold - I call CAA again ndash did they forget about me Oh no they tell me it wonrsquot be long now there is a truck in the area At 1100pm with no CAA in sight I fire up my computer and start looking for an emergency call number for Toyota Success and bonus - the number is operative 247 I place my call and explain my situation ndash the lady who answers is in Alabama ndash she has never heard of Manitoba never mind temperatures of -40 degrees however she is sure she can find assistance within the hour Okay ndash it is now 100am ndash Irsquom no longer cold ndash Irsquom numb and my patience is getting pretty thin I call the lady back ndash yes she has found assistance ndash CAA I call CAA again ndash I am assured that CAA customers come first and that I am at the top of their list ndash the truck should be at my house within minutes Lo and behold ndash 200am and what did I see ndash the CAA tow truck The driver advised he had a special tool to open the door with ndash it would only be a matter of min-utes He got it stuck

The CAA dispatcher says that their expert is just coming off shift ndash hersquod be right over 300am

The expert has now arrived He too got the door jimmy stuck Okay we now have a jimmy stuck in the window of the driversrsquo door and in the window of the passengersrsquo door Neither can be removed At this point Irsquom done ndash It is 500am I manually open the garage door from the inside have CAA push the car into the garage ndash I leave the garage door slightly open to allow exhaust to escape as the car is still idling away Finally at 800am I get a spare key from Frontier Linda and I drove that Toyota with the jimmy bars banging against the car roof for a week Frontier had to take both doors apart in order to remove them

December 2014 - Coronary Artery Disease

Coronary artery disease develops when your coronary arteries mdash the major blood vessels that supply your heart with blood oxygen and nutrients mdash become damaged or diseased Cholesterol-containing deposits (plaque) in your arteries and inflammation are usually to blame for coronary artery disease

When plaques build up they narrow your coronary arteries decreasing blood flow to your heart Eventually the decreased blood flow may cause chest pain (angina) shortness of breath or other coronary artery disease signs and symptoms A complete blockage can cause a heart attack

Because coronary artery disease often develops over decades it can go unnoticed until you have a heart attack But theres plenty you can do to prevent and treat coronary artery disease Start by committing to a healthy lifestyle

If your coronary arteries narrow they cant supply enough oxygen-rich blood to your heart mdash especially when its beating hard such as during exercise At first the decreased blood flow may not cause any coronary artery disease symptoms As the plaques continue to build up in your coronary arteries however you may develop coronary artery disease signs and symptoms including

bullChest pain (angina) You may feel pressure or tightness in your chest as if someone were standing on your chest The pain referred to as angina is usually triggered by physical or emotional stress It typically goes away within minutes after stopping the stressful activity In some people especially women this pain may be fleeting or sharp and felt in the abdomen back or arm

bullShortness of breath If your heart cant pump enough blood to meet your bodys needs you may develop shortness of breath or extreme fatigue with exertion

bullHeart attack A completely blocked coronary artery may cause a heart attack The classic signs and symptoms of a heart attack include crushing pressure in your chest and pain in your shoulder or arm sometimes with shortness of breath and sweating Women are somewhat more likely than men are to experience less typical signs and symptoms of a heart attack such as nausea and back or jaw pain Sometimes a heart attack occurs without any apparent signs or symptoms

When to see a doctor

If you suspect youre having a heart attack immediately call 911 or your local emergency number If you dont have access to emergency medical services have someone drive you to the nearest hospital Drive yourself only as a last resort

If you have risk factors for coronary artery disease mdash such as high blood pressure high cholesterol tobacco use diabetes or obesity mdash talk to your doctor He or she may want to test you for the condition especially if you have signs or symptoms of narrowed arteries Even if you dont have evidence of coronary artery disease your doctor may recommend aggressive treatment of your risk factors Early diagnosis and

treatment may stop progression of coronary artery disease and help prevent a heart attack

Written by a third grader on what his grandparents do

After Christmas a teacher asked her young pupils how they spent their holiday away from school

One child wrote the following

We always used to spend the holidays with Grandma and Grandpa They used to live in a

big brick house but Grandpa got retarded and they moved to Florida Now they live in a tin box

that has wheels but itrsquos strapped to the ground They ride around on their bicycles and wear

name tags because they dont know who they are anymore They go to a building called a wreck

center but they must have got it fixed because it is all okay now they do exercises there but they

dont do them very well There is a swimming pool too but they all just jump up and down in it with

hats on

At their gate there is a doll house with a little old man sitting in it He watches all day so nobody

can escape Sometimes they sneak out and go cruising in their golf carts Nobody there cooks

they just eat out And they eat the same thing every night - early birds Some of the people cant

get out past the man in the doll house The ones who do get out bring food back to the wrecked

center for pot luck My Grandma says that Grandpa worked all his life to earn his retardment and

says I should work hard so I can be retarded someday too When I earn my retardment I want to

be the man in the doll house Then I will let people out so they can visit their grandchildren

PRICELESS

Sometimes little ones say embarrassing things

When yoursquore alone you donrsquot mind

My little one was in the mall the other day and she hollered ldquoMa I need to peerdquo

With 1000 strangers around Her Ma said ldquoDonrsquot say that say you got to whisper

Of course nobody tells Daddy anything While I was watching football on Monday

night with 4 of my best buddies in the living room my little one came up and said

ldquoDaddy I got to whisperrdquo I said ldquocome whisper in Daddyrsquos earrdquo

ldquoCOMMON SENSE OBITUARYrdquo

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend Common Sense who has been with us for many years No one knows for sure how old he was since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape He will be remembered as having cultivated such valued lessons as

Knowing when to come in out of the rain

Why the early bird gets the worm

Life isnrsquot always fair

Maybe it was my fault

Common sense lived by simple sound financial policies (Donrsquot spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (Adults not children are in charge)

His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student only worsened his condition

Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children

It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion

Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses and criminals received better treatment than their victims

Common Sense took a beating when you couldnrsquot defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault

Common Sense finally gave up the will to live after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot She spilled a little in her lap and was promptly awarded a huge settlement

Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents Truth and Trust by his wife Discretion by his daughter Responsibility and son Reason

He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers I Know My Rights I Want It Now Someone Else is to Blame and Irsquom a Victim

Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone If you still remember him pass this on If not join the majority and do nothing

On our November 4th dance we were ldquobombardedrdquo as Paws amp Taws came with

2 squares to retrieve their banner and Grand Squares had enough members to steal our banner Fortunately Beausejour Swinging Squares did not have enough members otherwise our President Co-chairs would have had to forfeit their blouses

Co-chairs Laura and Henriette have instituted a special ldquothemerdquo by wearing a different hat each dancing night this season and this night Laurarsquos was definitely different as it has directions on how to wear it ldquoThe Hatrdquo was a hit and was passed around all evening

November 18th Pie Night was enjoyed by 4+ squares including visitors from

Beausejour Swinging Squares and Whirlaway Westerners

Our Christmas Party dance will be December 16th with finger food on the

menu

Merry Christmas and Good Health in 2015

good and evil struggle in a constant battle to win our hearts and souls Our challenge is to ensure

After a meeting several days ago I couldnt find my keys I quickly gave myself a personal TSA Pat Down

They werent in my pockets Suddenly I realized I must have left them in the car

Frantically I headed for the parking lot My husband has scolded me many times for leaving my keys in the cars ignition Hes afraid that the car could be stolen As I looked around the parking lot I realized he was right

The parking lot was empty I immediately called the police I gave them my location confessed that I had left my keys in the car and that it had been stolen

Then I made the most difficult call of all to my husband I left my keys in the car and its been stolen

There was a moment of silence I thought the call had been disconnected but then I heard his voice

Are you kidding me he barked I dropped you off

Now it was my turn to be silent

Embarrassed I said Well come and get me

He retorted I will as soon as I convince this cop that I didnt steal your damn car

Welcome to the golden years

My wife Linda and I made the decision to buy a brand new vehicle ndash a FORD ESCAPE Like all things new it didnrsquot take long to mark it up ndash we were involved in an accident and consequently our car had to go to the body shop for repairs We had car replacement coverage from MPIC and Frontier Toyota on Regent Avenue in Winnipeg was to supply us with a vehicle Linda and I took the Escape to the auto body repair shop and they in turn drove us over to Frontier who supplied us with a nice new Toyota vehicle Okay we are set

I had Linda drop me off at our house on Talbot Avenue She was going shopping so I asked her to take my pay cheque and cash it for me while she was out When Linda returned home she couldnrsquot open the garage ndash she got out of the Toyota to come in and get the garage opener - one problem - neither of us remembered to take it out of the Escape The Toyota LOCKED UP TIGHT as soon as she got out of it and left the keys in the ignition and the car running ldquoNo problemrdquo says Linda ldquoGive me the spare key and Irsquoll go and move the car so it isnrsquot blocking the lanerdquo The dealer did not give us a spare key Now the car is idling away half way blocking the back lane and her purse WITH MY CASHED PAY CHEQUE in it is sitting in plain view on the passenger seat Keeping calm I called Frontier ndash whoops ndash after 600pm ndash closed

It is -40 degrees outside I call CAA for assistance They advise it will be approximately 2 hours before they can come and help us out I put on my snowmobile suit and go outside to stand guard over my pay cheque Four hours go by ndash no CAA It is now 1000pm and Irsquom darned cold - I call CAA again ndash did they forget about me Oh no they tell me it wonrsquot be long now there is a truck in the area At 1100pm with no CAA in sight I fire up my computer and start looking for an emergency call number for Toyota Success and bonus - the number is operative 247 I place my call and explain my situation ndash the lady who answers is in Alabama ndash she has never heard of Manitoba never mind temperatures of -40 degrees however she is sure she can find assistance within the hour Okay ndash it is now 100am ndash Irsquom no longer cold ndash Irsquom numb and my patience is getting pretty thin I call the lady back ndash yes she has found assistance ndash CAA I call CAA again ndash I am assured that CAA customers come first and that I am at the top of their list ndash the truck should be at my house within minutes Lo and behold ndash 200am and what did I see ndash the CAA tow truck The driver advised he had a special tool to open the door with ndash it would only be a matter of min-utes He got it stuck

The CAA dispatcher says that their expert is just coming off shift ndash hersquod be right over 300am

The expert has now arrived He too got the door jimmy stuck Okay we now have a jimmy stuck in the window of the driversrsquo door and in the window of the passengersrsquo door Neither can be removed At this point Irsquom done ndash It is 500am I manually open the garage door from the inside have CAA push the car into the garage ndash I leave the garage door slightly open to allow exhaust to escape as the car is still idling away Finally at 800am I get a spare key from Frontier Linda and I drove that Toyota with the jimmy bars banging against the car roof for a week Frontier had to take both doors apart in order to remove them

December 2014 - Coronary Artery Disease

Coronary artery disease develops when your coronary arteries mdash the major blood vessels that supply your heart with blood oxygen and nutrients mdash become damaged or diseased Cholesterol-containing deposits (plaque) in your arteries and inflammation are usually to blame for coronary artery disease

When plaques build up they narrow your coronary arteries decreasing blood flow to your heart Eventually the decreased blood flow may cause chest pain (angina) shortness of breath or other coronary artery disease signs and symptoms A complete blockage can cause a heart attack

Because coronary artery disease often develops over decades it can go unnoticed until you have a heart attack But theres plenty you can do to prevent and treat coronary artery disease Start by committing to a healthy lifestyle

If your coronary arteries narrow they cant supply enough oxygen-rich blood to your heart mdash especially when its beating hard such as during exercise At first the decreased blood flow may not cause any coronary artery disease symptoms As the plaques continue to build up in your coronary arteries however you may develop coronary artery disease signs and symptoms including

bullChest pain (angina) You may feel pressure or tightness in your chest as if someone were standing on your chest The pain referred to as angina is usually triggered by physical or emotional stress It typically goes away within minutes after stopping the stressful activity In some people especially women this pain may be fleeting or sharp and felt in the abdomen back or arm

bullShortness of breath If your heart cant pump enough blood to meet your bodys needs you may develop shortness of breath or extreme fatigue with exertion

bullHeart attack A completely blocked coronary artery may cause a heart attack The classic signs and symptoms of a heart attack include crushing pressure in your chest and pain in your shoulder or arm sometimes with shortness of breath and sweating Women are somewhat more likely than men are to experience less typical signs and symptoms of a heart attack such as nausea and back or jaw pain Sometimes a heart attack occurs without any apparent signs or symptoms

When to see a doctor

If you suspect youre having a heart attack immediately call 911 or your local emergency number If you dont have access to emergency medical services have someone drive you to the nearest hospital Drive yourself only as a last resort

If you have risk factors for coronary artery disease mdash such as high blood pressure high cholesterol tobacco use diabetes or obesity mdash talk to your doctor He or she may want to test you for the condition especially if you have signs or symptoms of narrowed arteries Even if you dont have evidence of coronary artery disease your doctor may recommend aggressive treatment of your risk factors Early diagnosis and

treatment may stop progression of coronary artery disease and help prevent a heart attack

Written by a third grader on what his grandparents do

After Christmas a teacher asked her young pupils how they spent their holiday away from school

One child wrote the following

We always used to spend the holidays with Grandma and Grandpa They used to live in a

big brick house but Grandpa got retarded and they moved to Florida Now they live in a tin box

that has wheels but itrsquos strapped to the ground They ride around on their bicycles and wear

name tags because they dont know who they are anymore They go to a building called a wreck

center but they must have got it fixed because it is all okay now they do exercises there but they

dont do them very well There is a swimming pool too but they all just jump up and down in it with

hats on

At their gate there is a doll house with a little old man sitting in it He watches all day so nobody

can escape Sometimes they sneak out and go cruising in their golf carts Nobody there cooks

they just eat out And they eat the same thing every night - early birds Some of the people cant

get out past the man in the doll house The ones who do get out bring food back to the wrecked

center for pot luck My Grandma says that Grandpa worked all his life to earn his retardment and

says I should work hard so I can be retarded someday too When I earn my retardment I want to

be the man in the doll house Then I will let people out so they can visit their grandchildren

PRICELESS

Sometimes little ones say embarrassing things

When yoursquore alone you donrsquot mind

My little one was in the mall the other day and she hollered ldquoMa I need to peerdquo

With 1000 strangers around Her Ma said ldquoDonrsquot say that say you got to whisper

Of course nobody tells Daddy anything While I was watching football on Monday

night with 4 of my best buddies in the living room my little one came up and said

ldquoDaddy I got to whisperrdquo I said ldquocome whisper in Daddyrsquos earrdquo

ldquoCOMMON SENSE OBITUARYrdquo

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend Common Sense who has been with us for many years No one knows for sure how old he was since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape He will be remembered as having cultivated such valued lessons as

Knowing when to come in out of the rain

Why the early bird gets the worm

Life isnrsquot always fair

Maybe it was my fault

Common sense lived by simple sound financial policies (Donrsquot spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (Adults not children are in charge)

His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student only worsened his condition

Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children

It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion

Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses and criminals received better treatment than their victims

Common Sense took a beating when you couldnrsquot defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault

Common Sense finally gave up the will to live after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot She spilled a little in her lap and was promptly awarded a huge settlement

Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents Truth and Trust by his wife Discretion by his daughter Responsibility and son Reason

He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers I Know My Rights I Want It Now Someone Else is to Blame and Irsquom a Victim

Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone If you still remember him pass this on If not join the majority and do nothing

On our November 4th dance we were ldquobombardedrdquo as Paws amp Taws came with

2 squares to retrieve their banner and Grand Squares had enough members to steal our banner Fortunately Beausejour Swinging Squares did not have enough members otherwise our President Co-chairs would have had to forfeit their blouses

Co-chairs Laura and Henriette have instituted a special ldquothemerdquo by wearing a different hat each dancing night this season and this night Laurarsquos was definitely different as it has directions on how to wear it ldquoThe Hatrdquo was a hit and was passed around all evening

November 18th Pie Night was enjoyed by 4+ squares including visitors from

Beausejour Swinging Squares and Whirlaway Westerners

Our Christmas Party dance will be December 16th with finger food on the

menu

Merry Christmas and Good Health in 2015

After a meeting several days ago I couldnt find my keys I quickly gave myself a personal TSA Pat Down

They werent in my pockets Suddenly I realized I must have left them in the car

Frantically I headed for the parking lot My husband has scolded me many times for leaving my keys in the cars ignition Hes afraid that the car could be stolen As I looked around the parking lot I realized he was right

The parking lot was empty I immediately called the police I gave them my location confessed that I had left my keys in the car and that it had been stolen

Then I made the most difficult call of all to my husband I left my keys in the car and its been stolen

There was a moment of silence I thought the call had been disconnected but then I heard his voice

Are you kidding me he barked I dropped you off

Now it was my turn to be silent

Embarrassed I said Well come and get me

He retorted I will as soon as I convince this cop that I didnt steal your damn car

Welcome to the golden years

Winter in Manitoba ndash 2001

My wife Linda and I made the decision to buy a brand new vehicle ndash a FORD ESCAPE Like all things new it didnrsquot take long to mark it up ndash we were involved in an accident and consequently our car had to go to the body shop for repairs We had car replacement coverage from MPIC and Frontier Toyota on Regent Avenue in Winnipeg was to supply us with a vehicle Linda and I took the Escape to the auto body repair shop and they in turn drove us over to Frontier who supplied us with a nice new Toyota vehicle Okay we are set

I had Linda drop me off at our house on Talbot Avenue She was going shopping so I asked her to take my pay cheque and cash it for me while she was out When Linda returned home she couldnrsquot open the garage ndash she got out of the Toyota to come in and get the garage opener - one problem - neither of us remembered to take it out of the Escape The Toyota LOCKED UP TIGHT as soon as she got out of it and left the keys in the ignition and the car running ldquoNo problemrdquo says Linda ldquoGive me the spare key and Irsquoll go and move the car so it isnrsquot blocking the lanerdquo The dealer did not give us a spare key Now the car is idling away half way blocking the back lane and her purse WITH MY CASHED PAY CHEQUE in it is sitting in plain view on the passenger seat Keeping calm I called Frontier ndash whoops ndash after 600pm ndash closed

It is -40 degrees outside I call CAA for assistance They advise it will be approximately 2 hours before they can come and help us out I put on my snowmobile suit and go outside to stand guard over my pay cheque Four hours go by ndash no CAA It is now 1000pm and Irsquom darned cold - I call CAA again ndash did they forget about me Oh no they tell me it wonrsquot be long now there is a truck in the area At 1100pm with no CAA in sight I fire up my computer and start looking for an emergency call number for Toyota Success and bonus - the number is operative 247 I place my call and explain my situation ndash the lady who answers is in Alabama ndash she has never heard of Manitoba never mind temperatures of -40 degrees however she is sure she can find assistance within the hour Okay ndash it is now 100am ndash Irsquom no longer cold ndash Irsquom numb and my patience is getting pretty thin I call the lady back ndash yes she has found assistance ndash CAA I call CAA again ndash I am assured that CAA customers come first and that I am at the top of their list ndash the truck should be at my house within minutes Lo and behold ndash 200am and what did I see ndash the CAA tow truck The driver advised he had a special tool to open the door with ndash it would only be a matter of min-utes He got it stuck

The CAA dispatcher says that their expert is just coming off shift ndash hersquod be right over 300am

The expert has now arrived He too got the door jimmy stuck Okay we now have a jimmy stuck in the window of the driversrsquo door and in the window of the passengersrsquo door Neither can be removed At this point Irsquom done ndash It is 500am I manually open the garage door from the inside have CAA push the car into the garage ndash I leave the garage door slightly open to allow exhaust to escape as the car is still idling away Finally at 800am I get a spare key from Frontier Linda and I drove that Toyota with the jimmy bars banging against the car roof for a week Frontier had to take both doors apart in order to remove them

December 2014 - Coronary Artery Disease

Coronary artery disease develops when your coronary arteries mdash the major blood vessels that supply your heart with blood oxygen and nutrients mdash become damaged or diseased Cholesterol-containing deposits (plaque) in your arteries and inflammation are usually to blame for coronary artery disease

When plaques build up they narrow your coronary arteries decreasing blood flow to your heart Eventually the decreased blood flow may cause chest pain (angina) shortness of breath or other coronary artery disease signs and symptoms A complete blockage can cause a heart attack

Because coronary artery disease often develops over decades it can go unnoticed until you have a heart attack But theres plenty you can do to prevent and treat coronary artery disease Start by committing to a healthy lifestyle

If your coronary arteries narrow they cant supply enough oxygen-rich blood to your heart mdash especially when its beating hard such as during exercise At first the decreased blood flow may not cause any coronary artery disease symptoms As the plaques continue to build up in your coronary arteries however you may develop coronary artery disease signs and symptoms including

bullChest pain (angina) You may feel pressure or tightness in your chest as if someone were standing on your chest The pain referred to as angina is usually triggered by physical or emotional stress It typically goes away within minutes after stopping the stressful activity In some people especially women this pain may be fleeting or sharp and felt in the abdomen back or arm

bullShortness of breath If your heart cant pump enough blood to meet your bodys needs you may develop shortness of breath or extreme fatigue with exertion

bullHeart attack A completely blocked coronary artery may cause a heart attack The classic signs and symptoms of a heart attack include crushing pressure in your chest and pain in your shoulder or arm sometimes with shortness of breath and sweating Women are somewhat more likely than men are to experience less typical signs and symptoms of a heart attack such as nausea and back or jaw pain Sometimes a heart attack occurs without any apparent signs or symptoms

When to see a doctor

If you suspect youre having a heart attack immediately call 911 or your local emergency number If you dont have access to emergency medical services have someone drive you to the nearest hospital Drive yourself only as a last resort

If you have risk factors for coronary artery disease mdash such as high blood pressure high cholesterol tobacco use diabetes or obesity mdash talk to your doctor He or she may want to test you for the condition especially if you have signs or symptoms of narrowed arteries Even if you dont have evidence of coronary artery disease your doctor may recommend aggressive treatment of your risk factors Early diagnosis and

treatment may stop progression of coronary artery disease and help prevent a heart attack

ldquoCOMMON SENSE OBITUARYrdquo

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend Common Sense who has been with us for many years No one knows for sure how old he was since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape He will be remembered as having cultivated such valued lessons as

Knowing when to come in out of the rain

Why the early bird gets the worm

Life isnrsquot always fair

Maybe it was my fault

Common sense lived by simple sound financial policies (Donrsquot spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (Adults not children are in charge)

His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student only worsened his condition

Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children

It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion

Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses and criminals received better treatment than their victims

Common Sense took a beating when you couldnrsquot defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault

Common Sense finally gave up the will to live after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot She spilled a little in her lap and was promptly awarded a huge settlement

Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents Truth and Trust by his wife Discretion by his daughter Responsibility and son Reason

He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers I Know My Rights I Want It Now Someone Else is to Blame and Irsquom a Victim

Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone If you still remember him pass this on If not join the majority and do nothing

On our November 4th dance we were ldquobombardedrdquo as Paws amp Taws came with

2 squares to retrieve their banner and Grand Squares had enough members to steal our banner Fortunately Beausejour Swinging Squares did not have enough members otherwise our President Co-chairs would have had to forfeit their blouses

Co-chairs Laura and Henriette have instituted a special ldquothemerdquo by wearing a different hat each dancing night this season and this night Laurarsquos was definitely different as it has directions on how to wear it ldquoThe Hatrdquo was a hit and was passed around all evening

November 18th Pie Night was enjoyed by 4+ squares including visitors from

Beausejour Swinging Squares and Whirlaway Westerners

Our Christmas Party dance will be December 16th with finger food on the

menu

Merry Christmas and Good Health in 2015

Where do we worship In our hearts or in Church The answer is both As Christians we

believers We live in a world that is teeming with temptation and distractions - a world where

good and evil struggle in a constant battle to win our hearts and souls Our challenge is to ensure

that we cast out lot on the side of God When we worship God faithfully and fervently we are

blessed Come worship with us on Sundays at 10 AM at the LUD Hall in Richer Everyone is

welcome Coffee and Fellowship following the service

You are also welcome to attend

Bible Study Thursdays at 7 PM in homes

After a meeting several days ago I couldnt find my keys I quickly gave myself a personal TSA Pat Down

They werent in my pockets Suddenly I realized I must have left them in the car

Frantically I headed for the parking lot My husband has scolded me many times for leaving my keys in the cars ignition Hes afraid that the car could be stolen As I looked around the parking lot I realized he was right

The parking lot was empty I immediately called the police I gave them my location confessed that I had left my keys in the car and that it had been stolen

Then I made the most difficult call of all to my husband I left my keys in the car and its been stolen

There was a moment of silence I thought the call had been disconnected but then I heard his voice

Are you kidding me he barked I dropped you off

Now it was my turn to be silent

Embarrassed I said Well come and get me

He retorted I will as soon as I convince this cop that I didnt steal your damn car

Welcome to the golden years

P A R A D I S E V I L L A G E N E W S

Winter in Manitoba ndash 2001

My wife Linda and I made the decision to buy a brand new vehicle ndash a FORD ESCAPE Like all things new it didnrsquot take long to mark it up ndash we were involved in an accident and consequently our car had to go to the body shop for repairs We had car replacement coverage from MPIC and Frontier Toyota on Regent Avenue in Winnipeg was to supply us with a vehicle Linda and I took the Escape to the auto body repair shop and they in turn drove us over to Frontier who supplied us with a nice new Toyota vehicle Okay we are set

I had Linda drop me off at our house on Talbot Avenue She was going shopping so I asked her to take my pay cheque and cash it for me while she was out When Linda returned home she couldnrsquot open the garage ndash she got out of the Toyota to come in and get the garage opener - one problem - neither of us remembered to take it out of the Escape The Toyota LOCKED UP TIGHT as soon as she got out of it and left the keys in the ignition and the car running ldquoNo problemrdquo says Linda ldquoGive me the spare key and Irsquoll go and move the car so it isnrsquot blocking the lanerdquo The dealer did not give us a spare key Now the car is idling away half way blocking the back lane and her purse WITH MY CASHED PAY CHEQUE in it is sitting in plain view on the passenger seat Keeping calm I called Frontier ndash whoops ndash after 600pm ndash closed

It is -40 degrees outside I call CAA for assistance They advise it will be approximately 2 hours before they can come and help us out I put on my snowmobile suit and go outside to stand guard over my pay cheque Four hours go by ndash no CAA It is now 1000pm and Irsquom darned cold - I call CAA again ndash did they forget about me Oh no they tell me it wonrsquot be long now there is a truck in the area At 1100pm with no CAA in sight I fire up my computer and start looking for an emergency call number for Toyota Success and bonus - the number is operative 247 I place my call and explain my situation ndash the lady who answers is in Alabama ndash she has never heard of Manitoba never mind temperatures of -40 degrees however she is sure she can find assistance within the hour Okay ndash it is now 100am ndash Irsquom no longer cold ndash Irsquom numb and my patience is getting pretty thin I call the lady back ndash yes she has found assistance ndash CAA I call CAA again ndash I am assured that CAA customers come first and that I am at the top of their list ndash the truck should be at my house within minutes Lo and behold ndash 200am and what did I see ndash the CAA tow truck The driver advised he had a special tool to open the door with ndash it would only be a matter of min-utes He got it stuck

The CAA dispatcher says that their expert is just coming off shift ndash hersquod be right over 300am

The expert has now arrived He too got the door jimmy stuck Okay we now have a jimmy stuck in the window of the driversrsquo door and in the window of the passengersrsquo door Neither can be removed At this point Irsquom done ndash It is 500am I manually open the garage door from the inside have CAA push the car into the garage ndash I leave the garage door slightly open to allow exhaust to escape as the car is still idling away Finally at 800am I get a spare key from Frontier Linda and I drove that Toyota with the jimmy bars banging against the car roof for a week Frontier had to take both doors apart in order to remove them

December 2014 - Coronary Artery Disease

Coronary artery disease develops when your coronary arteries mdash the major blood vessels that supply your heart with blood oxygen and nutrients mdash become damaged or diseased Cholesterol-containing deposits (plaque) in your arteries and inflammation are usually to blame for coronary artery disease

When plaques build up they narrow your coronary arteries decreasing blood flow to your heart Eventually the decreased blood flow may cause chest pain (angina) shortness of breath or other coronary artery disease signs and symptoms A complete blockage can cause a heart attack

Because coronary artery disease often develops over decades it can go unnoticed until you have a heart attack But theres plenty you can do to prevent and treat coronary artery disease Start by committing to a healthy lifestyle

If your coronary arteries narrow they cant supply enough oxygen-rich blood to your heart mdash especially when its beating hard such as during exercise At first the decreased blood flow may not cause any coronary artery disease symptoms As the plaques continue to build up in your coronary arteries however you may develop coronary artery disease signs and symptoms including

bullChest pain (angina) You may feel pressure or tightness in your chest as if someone were standing on your chest The pain referred to as angina is usually triggered by physical or emotional stress It typically goes away within minutes after stopping the stressful activity In some people especially women this pain may be fleeting or sharp and felt in the abdomen back or arm

bullShortness of breath If your heart cant pump enough blood to meet your bodys needs you may develop shortness of breath or extreme fatigue with exertion

bullHeart attack A completely blocked coronary artery may cause a heart attack The classic signs and symptoms of a heart attack include crushing pressure in your chest and pain in your shoulder or arm sometimes with shortness of breath and sweating Women are somewhat more likely than men are to experience less typical signs and symptoms of a heart attack such as nausea and back or jaw pain Sometimes a heart attack occurs without any apparent signs or symptoms

When to see a doctor

If you suspect youre having a heart attack immediately call 911 or your local emergency number If you dont have access to emergency medical services have someone drive you to the nearest hospital Drive yourself only as a last resort

If you have risk factors for coronary artery disease mdash such as high blood pressure high cholesterol tobacco use diabetes or obesity mdash talk to your doctor He or she may want to test you for the condition especially if you have signs or symptoms of narrowed arteries Even if you dont have evidence of coronary artery disease your doctor may recommend aggressive treatment of your risk factors Early diagnosis and

treatment may stop progression of coronary artery disease and help prevent a heart attack

ldquoCOMMON SENSE OBITUARYrdquo

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend Common Sense who has been with us for many years No one knows for sure how old he was since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape He will be remembered as having cultivated such valued lessons as

Knowing when to come in out of the rain

Why the early bird gets the worm

Life isnrsquot always fair

Maybe it was my fault

Common sense lived by simple sound financial policies (Donrsquot spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (Adults not children are in charge)

His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student only worsened his condition

Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children

It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion

Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses and criminals received better treatment than their victims

Common Sense took a beating when you couldnrsquot defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault

Common Sense finally gave up the will to live after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot She spilled a little in her lap and was promptly awarded a huge settlement

Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents Truth and Trust by his wife Discretion by his daughter Responsibility and son Reason

He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers I Know My Rights I Want It Now Someone Else is to Blame and Irsquom a Victim

Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone If you still remember him pass this on If not join the majority and do nothing

On our November 4th dance we were ldquobombardedrdquo as Paws amp Taws came with

2 squares to retrieve their banner and Grand Squares had enough members to steal our banner Fortunately Beausejour Swinging Squares did not have enough members otherwise our President Co-chairs would have had to forfeit their blouses

Co-chairs Laura and Henriette have instituted a special ldquothemerdquo by wearing a different hat each dancing night this season and this night Laurarsquos was definitely different as it has directions on how to wear it ldquoThe Hatrdquo was a hit and was passed around all evening

November 18th Pie Night was enjoyed by 4+ squares including visitors from

Beausejour Swinging Squares and Whirlaway Westerners

Our Christmas Party dance will be December 16th with finger food on the

menu

Merry Christmas and Good Health in 2015

believers We live in a world that is teeming with temptation and distractions - a world where

good and evil struggle in a constant battle to win our hearts and souls Our challenge is to ensure

that we cast out lot on the side of God When we worship God faithfully and fervently we are

blessed Come worship with us on Sundays at 10 AM at the LUD Hall in Richer Everyone is

After a meeting several days ago I couldnt find my keys I quickly gave myself a personal TSA Pat Down

They werent in my pockets Suddenly I realized I must have left them in the car

Frantically I headed for the parking lot My husband has scolded me many times for leaving my keys in the cars ignition Hes afraid that the car could be stolen As I looked around the parking lot I realized he was right

The parking lot was empty I immediately called the police I gave them my location confessed that I had left my keys in the car and that it had been stolen

Then I made the most difficult call of all to my husband I left my keys in the car and its been stolen

There was a moment of silence I thought the call had been disconnected but then I heard his voice

Are you kidding me he barked I dropped you off

Now it was my turn to be silent

Embarrassed I said Well come and get me

He retorted I will as soon as I convince this cop that I didnt steal your damn car

Welcome to the golden years

Winter in Manitoba ndash 2001

My wife Linda and I made the decision to buy a brand new vehicle ndash a FORD ESCAPE Like all things new it didnrsquot take long to mark it up ndash we were involved in an accident and consequently our car had to go to the body shop for repairs We had car replacement coverage from MPIC and Frontier Toyota on Regent Avenue in Winnipeg was to supply us with a vehicle Linda and I took the Escape to the auto body repair shop and they in turn drove us over to Frontier who supplied us with a nice new Toyota vehicle Okay we are set

I had Linda drop me off at our house on Talbot Avenue She was going shopping so I asked her to take my pay cheque and cash it for me while she was out When Linda returned home she couldnrsquot open the garage ndash she got out of the Toyota to come in and get the garage opener - one problem - neither of us remembered to take it out of the Escape The Toyota LOCKED UP TIGHT as soon as she got out of it and left the keys in the ignition and the car running ldquoNo problemrdquo says Linda ldquoGive me the spare key and Irsquoll go and move the car so it isnrsquot blocking the lanerdquo The dealer did not give us a spare key Now the car is idling away half way blocking the back lane and her purse WITH MY CASHED PAY CHEQUE in it is sitting in plain view on the passenger seat Keeping calm I called Frontier ndash whoops ndash after 600pm ndash closed

It is -40 degrees outside I call CAA for assistance They advise it will be approximately 2 hours before they can come and help us out I put on my snowmobile suit and go outside to stand guard over my pay cheque Four hours go by ndash no CAA It is now 1000pm and Irsquom darned cold - I call CAA again ndash did they forget about me Oh no they tell me it wonrsquot be long now there is a truck in the area At 1100pm with no CAA in sight I fire up my computer and start looking for an emergency call number for Toyota Success and bonus - the number is operative 247 I place my call and explain my situation ndash the lady who answers is in Alabama ndash she has never heard of Manitoba never mind temperatures of -40 degrees however she is sure she can find assistance within the hour Okay ndash it is now 100am ndash Irsquom no longer cold ndash Irsquom numb and my patience is getting pretty thin I call the lady back ndash yes she has found assistance ndash CAA I call CAA again ndash I am assured that CAA customers come first and that I am at the top of their list ndash the truck should be at my house within minutes Lo and behold ndash 200am and what did I see ndash the CAA tow truck The driver advised he had a special tool to open the door with ndash it would only be a matter of min-utes He got it stuck

The CAA dispatcher says that their expert is just coming off shift ndash hersquod be right over 300am

The expert has now arrived He too got the door jimmy stuck Okay we now have a jimmy stuck in the window of the driversrsquo door and in the window of the passengersrsquo door Neither can be removed At this point Irsquom done ndash It is 500am I manually open the garage door from the inside have CAA push the car into the garage ndash I leave the garage door slightly open to allow exhaust to escape as the car is still idling away Finally at 800am I get a spare key from Frontier Linda and I drove that Toyota with the jimmy bars banging against the car roof for a week Frontier had to take both doors apart in order to remove them

December 2014 - Coronary Artery Disease

Coronary artery disease develops when your coronary arteries mdash the major blood vessels that supply your heart with blood oxygen and nutrients mdash become damaged or diseased Cholesterol-containing deposits (plaque) in your arteries and inflammation are usually to blame for coronary artery disease

When plaques build up they narrow your coronary arteries decreasing blood flow to your heart Eventually the decreased blood flow may cause chest pain (angina) shortness of breath or other coronary artery disease signs and symptoms A complete blockage can cause a heart attack

Because coronary artery disease often develops over decades it can go unnoticed until you have a heart attack But theres plenty you can do to prevent and treat coronary artery disease Start by committing to a healthy lifestyle

If your coronary arteries narrow they cant supply enough oxygen-rich blood to your heart mdash especially when its beating hard such as during exercise At first the decreased blood flow may not cause any coronary artery disease symptoms As the plaques continue to build up in your coronary arteries however you may develop coronary artery disease signs and symptoms including

bullChest pain (angina) You may feel pressure or tightness in your chest as if someone were standing on your chest The pain referred to as angina is usually triggered by physical or emotional stress It typically goes away within minutes after stopping the stressful activity In some people especially women this pain may be fleeting or sharp and felt in the abdomen back or arm

bullShortness of breath If your heart cant pump enough blood to meet your bodys needs you may develop shortness of breath or extreme fatigue with exertion

bullHeart attack A completely blocked coronary artery may cause a heart attack The classic signs and symptoms of a heart attack include crushing pressure in your chest and pain in your shoulder or arm sometimes with shortness of breath and sweating Women are somewhat more likely than men are to experience less typical signs and symptoms of a heart attack such as nausea and back or jaw pain Sometimes a heart attack occurs without any apparent signs or symptoms

When to see a doctor

If you suspect youre having a heart attack immediately call 911 or your local emergency number If you dont have access to emergency medical services have someone drive you to the nearest hospital Drive yourself only as a last resort

If you have risk factors for coronary artery disease mdash such as high blood pressure high cholesterol tobacco use diabetes or obesity mdash talk to your doctor He or she may want to test you for the condition especially if you have signs or symptoms of narrowed arteries Even if you dont have evidence of coronary artery disease your doctor may recommend aggressive treatment of your risk factors Early diagnosis and

treatment may stop progression of coronary artery disease and help prevent a heart attack

ldquoCOMMON SENSE OBITUARYrdquo

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend Common Sense who has been with us for many years No one knows for sure how old he was since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape He will be remembered as having cultivated such valued lessons as

Knowing when to come in out of the rain

Why the early bird gets the worm

Life isnrsquot always fair

Maybe it was my fault

Common sense lived by simple sound financial policies (Donrsquot spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (Adults not children are in charge)

His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student only worsened his condition

Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children

It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion

Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses and criminals received better treatment than their victims

Common Sense took a beating when you couldnrsquot defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault

Common Sense finally gave up the will to live after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot She spilled a little in her lap and was promptly awarded a huge settlement

Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents Truth and Trust by his wife Discretion by his daughter Responsibility and son Reason

He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers I Know My Rights I Want It Now Someone Else is to Blame and Irsquom a Victim

Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone If you still remember him pass this on If not join the majority and do nothing

On our November 4th dance we were ldquobombardedrdquo as Paws amp Taws came with

2 squares to retrieve their banner and Grand Squares had enough members to steal our banner Fortunately Beausejour Swinging Squares did not have enough members otherwise our President Co-chairs would have had to forfeit their blouses

Co-chairs Laura and Henriette have instituted a special ldquothemerdquo by wearing a different hat each dancing night this season and this night Laurarsquos was definitely different as it has directions on how to wear it ldquoThe Hatrdquo was a hit and was passed around all evening

November 18th Pie Night was enjoyed by 4+ squares including visitors from

Beausejour Swinging Squares and Whirlaway Westerners

Our Christmas Party dance will be December 16th with finger food on the

menu

Merry Christmas and Good Health in 2015

After a meeting several days ago I couldnt find my keys I quickly gave myself a personal TSA Pat Down

They werent in my pockets Suddenly I realized I must have left them in the car

Frantically I headed for the parking lot My husband has scolded me many times for leaving my keys in the cars ignition Hes afraid that the car could be stolen As I looked around the parking lot I realized he was right

The parking lot was empty I immediately called the police I gave them my location confessed that I had left my keys in the car and that it had been stolen

Then I made the most difficult call of all to my husband I left my keys in the car and its been stolen

There was a moment of silence I thought the call had been disconnected but then I heard his voice

Are you kidding me he barked I dropped you off

Now it was my turn to be silent

Embarrassed I said Well come and get me

He retorted I will as soon as I convince this cop that I didnt steal your damn car

Welcome to the golden years

Winter in Manitoba ndash 2001

My wife Linda and I made the decision to buy a brand new vehicle ndash a FORD ESCAPE Like all things new it didnrsquot take long to mark it up ndash we were involved in an accident and consequently our car had to go to the body shop for repairs We had car replacement coverage from MPIC and Frontier Toyota on Regent Avenue in Winnipeg was to supply us with a vehicle Linda and I took the Escape to the auto body repair shop and they in turn drove us over to Frontier who supplied us with a nice new Toyota vehicle Okay we are set

I had Linda drop me off at our house on Talbot Avenue She was going shopping so I asked her to take my pay cheque and cash it for me while she was out When Linda returned home she couldnrsquot open the garage ndash she got out of the Toyota to come in and get the garage opener - one problem - neither of us remembered to take it out of the Escape The Toyota LOCKED UP TIGHT as soon as she got out of it and left the keys in the ignition and the car running ldquoNo problemrdquo says Linda ldquoGive me the spare key and Irsquoll go and move the car so it isnrsquot blocking the lanerdquo The dealer did not give us a spare key Now the car is idling away half way blocking the back lane and her purse WITH MY CASHED PAY CHEQUE in it is sitting in plain view on the passenger seat Keeping calm I called Frontier ndash whoops ndash after 600pm ndash closed

It is -40 degrees outside I call CAA for assistance They advise it will be approximately 2 hours before they can come and help us out I put on my snowmobile suit and go outside to stand guard over my pay cheque Four hours go by ndash no CAA It is now 1000pm and Irsquom darned cold - I call CAA again ndash did they forget about me Oh no they tell me it wonrsquot be long now there is a truck in the area At 1100pm with no CAA in sight I fire up my computer and start looking for an emergency call number for Toyota Success and bonus - the number is operative 247 I place my call and explain my situation ndash the lady who answers is in Alabama ndash she has never heard of Manitoba never mind temperatures of -40 degrees however she is sure she can find assistance within the hour Okay ndash it is now 100am ndash Irsquom no longer cold ndash Irsquom numb and my patience is getting pretty thin I call the lady back ndash yes she has found assistance ndash CAA I call CAA again ndash I am assured that CAA customers come first and that I am at the top of their list ndash the truck should be at my house within minutes Lo and behold ndash 200am and what did I see ndash the CAA tow truck The driver advised he had a special tool to open the door with ndash it would only be a matter of min-utes He got it stuck

The CAA dispatcher says that their expert is just coming off shift ndash hersquod be right over 300am

The expert has now arrived He too got the door jimmy stuck Okay we now have a jimmy stuck in the window of the driversrsquo door and in the window of the passengersrsquo door Neither can be removed At this point Irsquom done ndash It is 500am I manually open the garage door from the inside have CAA push the car into the garage ndash I leave the garage door slightly open to allow exhaust to escape as the car is still idling away Finally at 800am I get a spare key from Frontier Linda and I drove that Toyota with the jimmy bars banging against the car roof for a week Frontier had to take both doors apart in order to remove them

December 2014 - Coronary Artery Disease

Coronary artery disease develops when your coronary arteries mdash the major blood vessels that supply your heart with blood oxygen and nutrients mdash become damaged or diseased Cholesterol-containing deposits (plaque) in your arteries and inflammation are usually to blame for coronary artery disease

When plaques build up they narrow your coronary arteries decreasing blood flow to your heart Eventually the decreased blood flow may cause chest pain (angina) shortness of breath or other coronary artery disease signs and symptoms A complete blockage can cause a heart attack

Because coronary artery disease often develops over decades it can go unnoticed until you have a heart attack But theres plenty you can do to prevent and treat coronary artery disease Start by committing to a healthy lifestyle

If your coronary arteries narrow they cant supply enough oxygen-rich blood to your heart mdash especially when its beating hard such as during exercise At first the decreased blood flow may not cause any coronary artery disease symptoms As the plaques continue to build up in your coronary arteries however you may develop coronary artery disease signs and symptoms including

bullChest pain (angina) You may feel pressure or tightness in your chest as if someone were standing on your chest The pain referred to as angina is usually triggered by physical or emotional stress It typically goes away within minutes after stopping the stressful activity In some people especially women this pain may be fleeting or sharp and felt in the abdomen back or arm

bullShortness of breath If your heart cant pump enough blood to meet your bodys needs you may develop shortness of breath or extreme fatigue with exertion

bullHeart attack A completely blocked coronary artery may cause a heart attack The classic signs and symptoms of a heart attack include crushing pressure in your chest and pain in your shoulder or arm sometimes with shortness of breath and sweating Women are somewhat more likely than men are to experience less typical signs and symptoms of a heart attack such as nausea and back or jaw pain Sometimes a heart attack occurs without any apparent signs or symptoms

When to see a doctor

If you suspect youre having a heart attack immediately call 911 or your local emergency number If you dont have access to emergency medical services have someone drive you to the nearest hospital Drive yourself only as a last resort

If you have risk factors for coronary artery disease mdash such as high blood pressure high cholesterol tobacco use diabetes or obesity mdash talk to your doctor He or she may want to test you for the condition especially if you have signs or symptoms of narrowed arteries Even if you dont have evidence of coronary artery disease your doctor may recommend aggressive treatment of your risk factors Early diagnosis and

treatment may stop progression of coronary artery disease and help prevent a heart attack

and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

On our November 4th dance we were ldquobombardedrdquo as Paws amp Taws came with

2 squares to retrieve their banner and Grand Squares had enough members to steal our banner Fortunately Beausejour Swinging Squares did not have enough members otherwise our President Co-chairs would have had to forfeit their blouses

Co-chairs Laura and Henriette have instituted a special ldquothemerdquo by wearing a different hat each dancing night this season and this night Laurarsquos was definitely different as it has directions on how to wear it ldquoThe Hatrdquo was a hit and was passed around all evening

November 18th Pie Night was enjoyed by 4+ squares including visitors from

Beausejour Swinging Squares and Whirlaway Westerners

Our Christmas Party dance will be December 16th with finger food on the

menu

Merry Christmas and Good Health in 2015

After a meeting several days ago I couldnt find my keys I quickly gave myself a personal TSA Pat Down

They werent in my pockets Suddenly I realized I must have left them in the car

Frantically I headed for the parking lot My husband has scolded me many times for leaving my keys in the cars ignition Hes afraid that the car could be stolen As I looked around the parking lot I realized he was right

The parking lot was empty I immediately called the police I gave them my location confessed that I had left my keys in the car and that it had been stolen

Then I made the most difficult call of all to my husband I left my keys in the car and its been stolen

There was a moment of silence I thought the call had been disconnected but then I heard his voice

Are you kidding me he barked I dropped you off

Now it was my turn to be silent

Embarrassed I said Well come and get me

He retorted I will as soon as I convince this cop that I didnt steal your damn car

Welcome to the golden years

Winter in Manitoba ndash 2001

My wife Linda and I made the decision to buy a brand new vehicle ndash a FORD ESCAPE Like all things new it didnrsquot take long to mark it up ndash we were involved in an accident and consequently our car had to go to the body shop for repairs We had car replacement coverage from MPIC and Frontier Toyota on Regent Avenue in Winnipeg was to supply us with a vehicle Linda and I took the Escape to the auto body repair shop and they in turn drove us over to Frontier who supplied us with a nice new Toyota vehicle Okay we are set

I had Linda drop me off at our house on Talbot Avenue She was going shopping so I asked her to take my pay cheque and cash it for me while she was out When Linda returned home she couldnrsquot open the garage ndash she got out of the Toyota to come in and get the garage opener - one problem - neither of us remembered to take it out of the Escape The Toyota LOCKED UP TIGHT as soon as she got out of it and left the keys in the ignition and the car running ldquoNo problemrdquo says Linda ldquoGive me the spare key and Irsquoll go and move the car so it isnrsquot blocking the lanerdquo The dealer did not give us a spare key Now the car is idling away half way blocking the back lane and her purse WITH MY CASHED PAY CHEQUE in it is sitting in plain view on the passenger seat Keeping calm I called Frontier ndash whoops ndash after 600pm ndash closed

It is -40 degrees outside I call CAA for assistance They advise it will be approximately 2 hours before they can come and help us out I put on my snowmobile suit and go outside to stand guard over my pay cheque Four hours go by ndash no CAA It is now 1000pm and Irsquom darned cold - I call CAA again ndash did they forget about me Oh no they tell me it wonrsquot be long now there is a truck in the area At 1100pm with no CAA in sight I fire up my computer and start looking for an emergency call number for Toyota Success and bonus - the number is operative 247 I place my call and explain my situation ndash the lady who answers is in Alabama ndash she has never heard of Manitoba never mind temperatures of -40 degrees however she is sure she can find assistance within the hour Okay ndash it is now 100am ndash Irsquom no longer cold ndash Irsquom numb and my patience is getting pretty thin I call the lady back ndash yes she has found assistance ndash CAA I call CAA again ndash I am assured that CAA customers come first and that I am at the top of their list ndash the truck should be at my house within minutes Lo and behold ndash 200am and what did I see ndash the CAA tow truck The driver advised he had a special tool to open the door with ndash it would only be a matter of min-utes He got it stuck

The CAA dispatcher says that their expert is just coming off shift ndash hersquod be right over 300am

The expert has now arrived He too got the door jimmy stuck Okay we now have a jimmy stuck in the window of the driversrsquo door and in the window of the passengersrsquo door Neither can be removed At this point Irsquom done ndash It is 500am I manually open the garage door from the inside have CAA push the car into the garage ndash I leave the garage door slightly open to allow exhaust to escape as the car is still idling away Finally at 800am I get a spare key from Frontier Linda and I drove that Toyota with the jimmy bars banging against the car roof for a week Frontier had to take both doors apart in order to remove them

December 2014 - Coronary Artery Disease

Coronary artery disease develops when your coronary arteries mdash the major blood vessels that supply your heart with blood oxygen and nutrients mdash become damaged or diseased Cholesterol-containing deposits (plaque) in your arteries and inflammation are usually to blame for coronary artery disease

When plaques build up they narrow your coronary arteries decreasing blood flow to your heart Eventually the decreased blood flow may cause chest pain (angina) shortness of breath or other coronary artery disease signs and symptoms A complete blockage can cause a heart attack

Because coronary artery disease often develops over decades it can go unnoticed until you have a heart attack But theres plenty you can do to prevent and treat coronary artery disease Start by committing to a healthy lifestyle

If your coronary arteries narrow they cant supply enough oxygen-rich blood to your heart mdash especially when its beating hard such as during exercise At first the decreased blood flow may not cause any coronary artery disease symptoms As the plaques continue to build up in your coronary arteries however you may develop coronary artery disease signs and symptoms including

bullChest pain (angina) You may feel pressure or tightness in your chest as if someone were standing on your chest The pain referred to as angina is usually triggered by physical or emotional stress It typically goes away within minutes after stopping the stressful activity In some people especially women this pain may be fleeting or sharp and felt in the abdomen back or arm

bullShortness of breath If your heart cant pump enough blood to meet your bodys needs you may develop shortness of breath or extreme fatigue with exertion

bullHeart attack A completely blocked coronary artery may cause a heart attack The classic signs and symptoms of a heart attack include crushing pressure in your chest and pain in your shoulder or arm sometimes with shortness of breath and sweating Women are somewhat more likely than men are to experience less typical signs and symptoms of a heart attack such as nausea and back or jaw pain Sometimes a heart attack occurs without any apparent signs or symptoms

When to see a doctor

If you suspect youre having a heart attack immediately call 911 or your local emergency number If you dont have access to emergency medical services have someone drive you to the nearest hospital Drive yourself only as a last resort

If you have risk factors for coronary artery disease mdash such as high blood pressure high cholesterol tobacco use diabetes or obesity mdash talk to your doctor He or she may want to test you for the condition especially if you have signs or symptoms of narrowed arteries Even if you dont have evidence of coronary artery disease your doctor may recommend aggressive treatment of your risk factors Early diagnosis and

treatment may stop progression of coronary artery disease and help prevent a heart attack

and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

On our November 4th dance we were ldquobombardedrdquo as Paws amp Taws came with

2 squares to retrieve their banner and Grand Squares had enough members to steal our banner Fortunately Beausejour Swinging Squares did not have enough members otherwise our President Co-chairs would have had to forfeit their blouses

Co-chairs Laura and Henriette have instituted a special ldquothemerdquo by wearing a different hat each dancing night this season and this night Laurarsquos was definitely different as it has directions on how to wear it ldquoThe Hatrdquo was a hit and was passed around all evening

November 18th Pie Night was enjoyed by 4+ squares including visitors from

Beausejour Swinging Squares and Whirlaway Westerners

Our Christmas Party dance will be December 16th with finger food on the

menu

Merry Christmas and Good Health in 2015

After a meeting several days ago I couldnt find my keys I quickly gave myself a personal TSA Pat Down

They werent in my pockets Suddenly I realized I must have left them in the car

Frantically I headed for the parking lot My husband has scolded me many times for leaving my keys in the cars ignition Hes afraid that the car could be stolen As I looked around the parking lot I realized he was right

The parking lot was empty I immediately called the police I gave them my location confessed that I had left my keys in the car and that it had been stolen

Then I made the most difficult call of all to my husband I left my keys in the car and its been stolen

There was a moment of silence I thought the call had been disconnected but then I heard his voice

Are you kidding me he barked I dropped you off

Now it was my turn to be silent

Embarrassed I said Well come and get me

He retorted I will as soon as I convince this cop that I didnt steal your damn car

Welcome to the golden years

Winter in Manitoba ndash 2001

My wife Linda and I made the decision to buy a brand new vehicle ndash a FORD ESCAPE Like all things new it didnrsquot take long to mark it up ndash we were involved in an accident and consequently our car had to go to the body shop for repairs We had car replacement coverage from MPIC and Frontier Toyota on Regent Avenue in Winnipeg was to supply us with a vehicle Linda and I took the Escape to the auto body repair shop and they in turn drove us over to Frontier who supplied us with a nice new Toyota vehicle Okay we are set

I had Linda drop me off at our house on Talbot Avenue She was going shopping so I asked her to take my pay cheque and cash it for me while she was out When Linda returned home she couldnrsquot open the garage ndash she got out of the Toyota to come in and get the garage opener - one problem - neither of us remembered to take it out of the Escape The Toyota LOCKED UP TIGHT as soon as she got out of it and left the keys in the ignition and the car running ldquoNo problemrdquo says Linda ldquoGive me the spare key and Irsquoll go and move the car so it isnrsquot blocking the lanerdquo The dealer did not give us a spare key Now the car is idling away half way blocking the back lane and her purse WITH MY CASHED PAY CHEQUE in it is sitting in plain view on the passenger seat Keeping calm I called Frontier ndash whoops ndash after 600pm ndash closed

It is -40 degrees outside I call CAA for assistance They advise it will be approximately 2 hours before they can come and help us out I put on my snowmobile suit and go outside to stand guard over my pay cheque Four hours go by ndash no CAA It is now 1000pm and Irsquom darned cold - I call CAA again ndash did they forget about me Oh no they tell me it wonrsquot be long now there is a truck in the area At 1100pm with no CAA in sight I fire up my computer and start looking for an emergency call number for Toyota Success and bonus - the number is operative 247 I place my call and explain my situation ndash the lady who answers is in Alabama ndash she has never heard of Manitoba never mind temperatures of -40 degrees however she is sure she can find assistance within the hour Okay ndash it is now 100am ndash Irsquom no longer cold ndash Irsquom numb and my patience is getting pretty thin I call the lady back ndash yes she has found assistance ndash CAA I call CAA again ndash I am assured that CAA customers come first and that I am at the top of their list ndash the truck should be at my house within minutes Lo and behold ndash 200am and what did I see ndash the CAA tow truck The driver advised he had a special tool to open the door with ndash it would only be a matter of min-utes He got it stuck

The CAA dispatcher says that their expert is just coming off shift ndash hersquod be right over 300am

The expert has now arrived He too got the door jimmy stuck Okay we now have a jimmy stuck in the window of the driversrsquo door and in the window of the passengersrsquo door Neither can be removed At this point Irsquom done ndash It is 500am I manually open the garage door from the inside have CAA push the car into the garage ndash I leave the garage door slightly open to allow exhaust to escape as the car is still idling away Finally at 800am I get a spare key from Frontier Linda and I drove that Toyota with the jimmy bars banging against the car roof for a week Frontier had to take both doors apart in order to remove them

December 2014 - Coronary Artery Disease

Coronary artery disease develops when your coronary arteries mdash the major blood vessels that supply your heart with blood oxygen and nutrients mdash become damaged or diseased Cholesterol-containing deposits (plaque) in your arteries and inflammation are usually to blame for coronary artery disease

When plaques build up they narrow your coronary arteries decreasing blood flow to your heart Eventually the decreased blood flow may cause chest pain (angina) shortness of breath or other coronary artery disease signs and symptoms A complete blockage can cause a heart attack

Because coronary artery disease often develops over decades it can go unnoticed until you have a heart attack But theres plenty you can do to prevent and treat coronary artery disease Start by committing to a healthy lifestyle

If your coronary arteries narrow they cant supply enough oxygen-rich blood to your heart mdash especially when its beating hard such as during exercise At first the decreased blood flow may not cause any coronary artery disease symptoms As the plaques continue to build up in your coronary arteries however you may develop coronary artery disease signs and symptoms including

bullChest pain (angina) You may feel pressure or tightness in your chest as if someone were standing on your chest The pain referred to as angina is usually triggered by physical or emotional stress It typically goes away within minutes after stopping the stressful activity In some people especially women this pain may be fleeting or sharp and felt in the abdomen back or arm

bullShortness of breath If your heart cant pump enough blood to meet your bodys needs you may develop shortness of breath or extreme fatigue with exertion

bullHeart attack A completely blocked coronary artery may cause a heart attack The classic signs and symptoms of a heart attack include crushing pressure in your chest and pain in your shoulder or arm sometimes with shortness of breath and sweating Women are somewhat more likely than men are to experience less typical signs and symptoms of a heart attack such as nausea and back or jaw pain Sometimes a heart attack occurs without any apparent signs or symptoms

When to see a doctor

If you suspect youre having a heart attack immediately call 911 or your local emergency number If you dont have access to emergency medical services have someone drive you to the nearest hospital Drive yourself only as a last resort

If you have risk factors for coronary artery disease mdash such as high blood pressure high cholesterol tobacco use diabetes or obesity mdash talk to your doctor He or she may want to test you for the condition especially if you have signs or symptoms of narrowed arteries Even if you dont have evidence of coronary artery disease your doctor may recommend aggressive treatment of your risk factors Early diagnosis and

treatment may stop progression of coronary artery disease and help prevent a heart attack

and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

On our November 4th dance we were ldquobombardedrdquo as Paws amp Taws came with

2 squares to retrieve their banner and Grand Squares had enough members to steal our banner Fortunately Beausejour Swinging Squares did not have enough members otherwise our President Co-chairs would have had to forfeit their blouses

Co-chairs Laura and Henriette have instituted a special ldquothemerdquo by wearing a different hat each dancing night this season and this night Laurarsquos was definitely different as it has directions on how to wear it ldquoThe Hatrdquo was a hit and was passed around all evening

November 18th Pie Night was enjoyed by 4+ squares including visitors from

Beausejour Swinging Squares and Whirlaway Westerners

Our Christmas Party dance will be December 16th with finger food on the

menu

Merry Christmas and Good Health in 2015

After a meeting several days ago I couldnt find my keys I quickly gave myself a personal TSA Pat Down

They werent in my pockets Suddenly I realized I must have left them in the car

Frantically I headed for the parking lot My husband has scolded me many times for leaving my keys in the cars ignition Hes afraid that the car could be stolen As I looked around the parking lot I realized he was right

The parking lot was empty I immediately called the police I gave them my location confessed that I had left my keys in the car and that it had been stolen

Then I made the most difficult call of all to my husband I left my keys in the car and its been stolen

There was a moment of silence I thought the call had been disconnected but then I heard his voice

Are you kidding me he barked I dropped you off

Now it was my turn to be silent

Embarrassed I said Well come and get me

He retorted I will as soon as I convince this cop that I didnt steal your damn car

Welcome to the golden years

Winter in Manitoba ndash 2001

My wife Linda and I made the decision to buy a brand new vehicle ndash a FORD ESCAPE Like all things new it didnrsquot take long to mark it up ndash we were involved in an accident and consequently our car had to go to the body shop for repairs We had car replacement coverage from MPIC and Frontier Toyota on Regent Avenue in Winnipeg was to supply us with a vehicle Linda and I took the Escape to the auto body repair shop and they in turn drove us over to Frontier who supplied us with a nice new Toyota vehicle Okay we are set

I had Linda drop me off at our house on Talbot Avenue She was going shopping so I asked her to take my pay cheque and cash it for me while she was out When Linda returned home she couldnrsquot open the garage ndash she got out of the Toyota to come in and get the garage opener - one problem - neither of us remembered to take it out of the Escape The Toyota LOCKED UP TIGHT as soon as she got out of it and left the keys in the ignition and the car running ldquoNo problemrdquo says Linda ldquoGive me the spare key and Irsquoll go and move the car so it isnrsquot blocking the lanerdquo The dealer did not give us a spare key Now the car is idling away half way blocking the back lane and her purse WITH MY CASHED PAY CHEQUE in it is sitting in plain view on the passenger seat Keeping calm I called Frontier ndash whoops ndash after 600pm ndash closed

It is -40 degrees outside I call CAA for assistance They advise it will be approximately 2 hours before they can come and help us out I put on my snowmobile suit and go outside to stand guard over my pay cheque Four hours go by ndash no CAA It is now 1000pm and Irsquom darned cold - I call CAA again ndash did they forget about me Oh no they tell me it wonrsquot be long now there is a truck in the area At 1100pm with no CAA in sight I fire up my computer and start looking for an emergency call number for Toyota Success and bonus - the number is operative 247 I place my call and explain my situation ndash the lady who answers is in Alabama ndash she has never heard of Manitoba never mind temperatures of -40 degrees however she is sure she can find assistance within the hour Okay ndash it is now 100am ndash Irsquom no longer cold ndash Irsquom numb and my patience is getting pretty thin I call the lady back ndash yes she has found assistance ndash CAA I call CAA again ndash I am assured that CAA customers come first and that I am at the top of their list ndash the truck should be at my house within minutes Lo and behold ndash 200am and what did I see ndash the CAA tow truck The driver advised he had a special tool to open the door with ndash it would only be a matter of min-utes He got it stuck

The CAA dispatcher says that their expert is just coming off shift ndash hersquod be right over 300am

The expert has now arrived He too got the door jimmy stuck Okay we now have a jimmy stuck in the window of the driversrsquo door and in the window of the passengersrsquo door Neither can be removed At this point Irsquom done ndash It is 500am I manually open the garage door from the inside have CAA push the car into the garage ndash I leave the garage door slightly open to allow exhaust to escape as the car is still idling away Finally at 800am I get a spare key from Frontier Linda and I drove that Toyota with the jimmy bars banging against the car roof for a week Frontier had to take both doors apart in order to remove them

December 2014 - Coronary Artery Disease

Coronary artery disease develops when your coronary arteries mdash the major blood vessels that supply your heart with blood oxygen and nutrients mdash become damaged or diseased Cholesterol-containing deposits (plaque) in your arteries and inflammation are usually to blame for coronary artery disease

When plaques build up they narrow your coronary arteries decreasing blood flow to your heart Eventually the decreased blood flow may cause chest pain (angina) shortness of breath or other coronary artery disease signs and symptoms A complete blockage can cause a heart attack

Because coronary artery disease often develops over decades it can go unnoticed until you have a heart attack But theres plenty you can do to prevent and treat coronary artery disease Start by committing to a healthy lifestyle

If your coronary arteries narrow they cant supply enough oxygen-rich blood to your heart mdash especially when its beating hard such as during exercise At first the decreased blood flow may not cause any coronary artery disease symptoms As the plaques continue to build up in your coronary arteries however you may develop coronary artery disease signs and symptoms including

bullChest pain (angina) You may feel pressure or tightness in your chest as if someone were standing on your chest The pain referred to as angina is usually triggered by physical or emotional stress It typically goes away within minutes after stopping the stressful activity In some people especially women this pain may be fleeting or sharp and felt in the abdomen back or arm

bullShortness of breath If your heart cant pump enough blood to meet your bodys needs you may develop shortness of breath or extreme fatigue with exertion

bullHeart attack A completely blocked coronary artery may cause a heart attack The classic signs and symptoms of a heart attack include crushing pressure in your chest and pain in your shoulder or arm sometimes with shortness of breath and sweating Women are somewhat more likely than men are to experience less typical signs and symptoms of a heart attack such as nausea and back or jaw pain Sometimes a heart attack occurs without any apparent signs or symptoms

When to see a doctor

If you suspect youre having a heart attack immediately call 911 or your local emergency number If you dont have access to emergency medical services have someone drive you to the nearest hospital Drive yourself only as a last resort

If you have risk factors for coronary artery disease mdash such as high blood pressure high cholesterol tobacco use diabetes or obesity mdash talk to your doctor He or she may want to test you for the condition especially if you have signs or symptoms of narrowed arteries Even if you dont have evidence of coronary artery disease your doctor may recommend aggressive treatment of your risk factors Early diagnosis and

treatment may stop progression of coronary artery disease and help prevent a heart attack

and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

good and evil struggle in a constant battle to win our hearts and souls Our challenge is to ensure

that we cast out lot on the side of God When we worship God faithfully and fervently we are

blessed Come worship with us on Sundays at 10 AM at the LUD Hall in Richer Everyone is

After a meeting several days ago I couldnt find my keys I quickly gave myself a personal TSA Pat Down

They werent in my pockets Suddenly I realized I must have left them in the car

Frantically I headed for the parking lot My husband has scolded me many times for leaving my keys in the cars ignition Hes afraid that the car could be stolen As I looked around the parking lot I realized he was right

The parking lot was empty I immediately called the police I gave them my location confessed that I had left my keys in the car and that it had been stolen

Then I made the most difficult call of all to my husband I left my keys in the car and its been stolen

There was a moment of silence I thought the call had been disconnected but then I heard his voice

Are you kidding me he barked I dropped you off

Now it was my turn to be silent

Embarrassed I said Well come and get me

He retorted I will as soon as I convince this cop that I didnt steal your damn car

Welcome to the golden years

Thanks Olga Baschak for this submission

Winter in Manitoba ndash 2001

My wife Linda and I made the decision to buy a brand new vehicle ndash a FORD ESCAPE Like all things new it didnrsquot take long to mark it up ndash we were involved in an accident and consequently our car had to go to the body shop for repairs We had car replacement coverage from MPIC and Frontier Toyota on Regent Avenue in Winnipeg was to supply us with a vehicle Linda and I took the Escape to the auto body repair shop and they in turn drove us over to Frontier who supplied us with a nice new Toyota vehicle Okay we are set

I had Linda drop me off at our house on Talbot Avenue She was going shopping so I asked her to take my pay cheque and cash it for me while she was out When Linda returned home she couldnrsquot open the garage ndash she got out of the Toyota to come in and get the garage opener - one problem - neither of us remembered to take it out of the Escape The Toyota LOCKED UP TIGHT as soon as she got out of it and left the keys in the ignition and the car running ldquoNo problemrdquo says Linda ldquoGive me the spare key and Irsquoll go and move the car so it isnrsquot blocking the lanerdquo The dealer did not give us a spare key Now the car is idling away half way blocking the back lane and her purse WITH MY CASHED PAY CHEQUE in it is sitting in plain view on the passenger seat Keeping calm I called Frontier ndash whoops ndash after 600pm ndash closed

It is -40 degrees outside I call CAA for assistance They advise it will be approximately 2 hours before they can come and help us out I put on my snowmobile suit and go outside to stand guard over my pay cheque Four hours go by ndash no CAA It is now 1000pm and Irsquom darned cold - I call CAA again ndash did they forget about me Oh no they tell me it wonrsquot be long now there is a truck in the area At 1100pm with no CAA in sight I fire up my computer and start looking for an emergency call number for Toyota Success and bonus - the number is operative 247 I place my call and explain my situation ndash the lady who answers is in Alabama ndash she has never heard of Manitoba never mind temperatures of -40 degrees however she is sure she can find assistance within the hour Okay ndash it is now 100am ndash Irsquom no longer cold ndash Irsquom numb and my patience is getting pretty thin I call the lady back ndash yes she has found assistance ndash CAA I call CAA again ndash I am assured that CAA customers come first and that I am at the top of their list ndash the truck should be at my house within minutes Lo and behold ndash 200am and what did I see ndash the CAA tow truck The driver advised he had a special tool to open the door with ndash it would only be a matter of min-utes He got it stuck

The CAA dispatcher says that their expert is just coming off shift ndash hersquod be right over 300am

The expert has now arrived He too got the door jimmy stuck Okay we now have a jimmy stuck in the window of the driversrsquo door and in the window of the passengersrsquo door Neither can be removed At this point Irsquom done ndash It is 500am I manually open the garage door from the inside have CAA push the car into the garage ndash I leave the garage door slightly open to allow exhaust to escape as the car is still idling away Finally at 800am I get a spare key from Frontier Linda and I drove that Toyota with the jimmy bars banging against the car roof for a week Frontier had to take both doors apart in order to remove them

December 2014 - Coronary Artery Disease

Coronary artery disease develops when your coronary arteries mdash the major blood vessels that supply your heart with blood oxygen and nutrients mdash become damaged or diseased Cholesterol-containing deposits (plaque) in your arteries and inflammation are usually to blame for coronary artery disease

When plaques build up they narrow your coronary arteries decreasing blood flow to your heart Eventually the decreased blood flow may cause chest pain (angina) shortness of breath or other coronary artery disease signs and symptoms A complete blockage can cause a heart attack

Because coronary artery disease often develops over decades it can go unnoticed until you have a heart attack But theres plenty you can do to prevent and treat coronary artery disease Start by committing to a healthy lifestyle

If your coronary arteries narrow they cant supply enough oxygen-rich blood to your heart mdash especially when its beating hard such as during exercise At first the decreased blood flow may not cause any coronary artery disease symptoms As the plaques continue to build up in your coronary arteries however you may develop coronary artery disease signs and symptoms including

bullChest pain (angina) You may feel pressure or tightness in your chest as if someone were standing on your chest The pain referred to as angina is usually triggered by physical or emotional stress It typically goes away within minutes after stopping the stressful activity In some people especially women this pain may be fleeting or sharp and felt in the abdomen back or arm

bullShortness of breath If your heart cant pump enough blood to meet your bodys needs you may develop shortness of breath or extreme fatigue with exertion

bullHeart attack A completely blocked coronary artery may cause a heart attack The classic signs and symptoms of a heart attack include crushing pressure in your chest and pain in your shoulder or arm sometimes with shortness of breath and sweating Women are somewhat more likely than men are to experience less typical signs and symptoms of a heart attack such as nausea and back or jaw pain Sometimes a heart attack occurs without any apparent signs or symptoms

When to see a doctor

If you suspect youre having a heart attack immediately call 911 or your local emergency number If you dont have access to emergency medical services have someone drive you to the nearest hospital Drive yourself only as a last resort

If you have risk factors for coronary artery disease mdash such as high blood pressure high cholesterol tobacco use diabetes or obesity mdash talk to your doctor He or she may want to test you for the condition especially if you have signs or symptoms of narrowed arteries Even if you dont have evidence of coronary artery disease your doctor may recommend aggressive treatment of your risk factors Early diagnosis and

treatment may stop progression of coronary artery disease and help prevent a heart attack

and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

BUT THE HOUR IS COMING AND IS NOW HERE WHEN THE TRUE

WORSHIPERS WILL WORSHIP THE FATHER IN SPIRIT AND TRUTH

YES THE FATHER WANTS SUCH PEOPLE TO WORSHIP HIM GOD

are compelled not only to worship the Creator in our hearts but also in the presence of fellow

believers We live in a world that is teeming with temptation and distractions - a world where

good and evil struggle in a constant battle to win our hearts and souls Our challenge is to ensure

that we cast out lot on the side of God When we worship God faithfully and fervently we are

blessed Come worship with us on Sundays at 10 AM at the LUD Hall in Richer Everyone is

After a meeting several days ago I couldnt find my keys I quickly gave myself a personal TSA Pat Down

They werent in my pockets Suddenly I realized I must have left them in the car

Frantically I headed for the parking lot My husband has scolded me many times for leaving my keys in the cars ignition Hes afraid that the car could be stolen As I looked around the parking lot I realized he was right

The parking lot was empty I immediately called the police I gave them my location confessed that I had left my keys in the car and that it had been stolen

Then I made the most difficult call of all to my husband I left my keys in the car and its been stolen

There was a moment of silence I thought the call had been disconnected but then I heard his voice

Are you kidding me he barked I dropped you off

Now it was my turn to be silent

Embarrassed I said Well come and get me

He retorted I will as soon as I convince this cop that I didnt steal your damn car

Welcome to the golden years

P A R A D I S E V I L L A G E N E W S

Winter in Manitoba ndash 2001

My wife Linda and I made the decision to buy a brand new vehicle ndash a FORD ESCAPE Like all things new it didnrsquot take long to mark it up ndash we were involved in an accident and consequently our car had to go to the body shop for repairs We had car replacement coverage from MPIC and Frontier Toyota on Regent Avenue in Winnipeg was to supply us with a vehicle Linda and I took the Escape to the auto body repair shop and they in turn drove us over to Frontier who supplied us with a nice new Toyota vehicle Okay we are set

I had Linda drop me off at our house on Talbot Avenue She was going shopping so I asked her to take my pay cheque and cash it for me while she was out When Linda returned home she couldnrsquot open the garage ndash she got out of the Toyota to come in and get the garage opener - one problem - neither of us remembered to take it out of the Escape The Toyota LOCKED UP TIGHT as soon as she got out of it and left the keys in the ignition and the car running ldquoNo problemrdquo says Linda ldquoGive me the spare key and Irsquoll go and move the car so it isnrsquot blocking the lanerdquo The dealer did not give us a spare key Now the car is idling away half way blocking the back lane and her purse WITH MY CASHED PAY CHEQUE in it is sitting in plain view on the passenger seat Keeping calm I called Frontier ndash whoops ndash after 600pm ndash closed

It is -40 degrees outside I call CAA for assistance They advise it will be approximately 2 hours before they can come and help us out I put on my snowmobile suit and go outside to stand guard over my pay cheque Four hours go by ndash no CAA It is now 1000pm and Irsquom darned cold - I call CAA again ndash did they forget about me Oh no they tell me it wonrsquot be long now there is a truck in the area At 1100pm with no CAA in sight I fire up my computer and start looking for an emergency call number for Toyota Success and bonus - the number is operative 247 I place my call and explain my situation ndash the lady who answers is in Alabama ndash she has never heard of Manitoba never mind temperatures of -40 degrees however she is sure she can find assistance within the hour Okay ndash it is now 100am ndash Irsquom no longer cold ndash Irsquom numb and my patience is getting pretty thin I call the lady back ndash yes she has found assistance ndash CAA I call CAA again ndash I am assured that CAA customers come first and that I am at the top of their list ndash the truck should be at my house within minutes Lo and behold ndash 200am and what did I see ndash the CAA tow truck The driver advised he had a special tool to open the door with ndash it would only be a matter of min-utes He got it stuck

The CAA dispatcher says that their expert is just coming off shift ndash hersquod be right over 300am

The expert has now arrived He too got the door jimmy stuck Okay we now have a jimmy stuck in the window of the driversrsquo door and in the window of the passengersrsquo door Neither can be removed At this point Irsquom done ndash It is 500am I manually open the garage door from the inside have CAA push the car into the garage ndash I leave the garage door slightly open to allow exhaust to escape as the car is still idling away Finally at 800am I get a spare key from Frontier Linda and I drove that Toyota with the jimmy bars banging against the car roof for a week Frontier had to take both doors apart in order to remove them

December 2014 - Coronary Artery Disease

Coronary artery disease develops when your coronary arteries mdash the major blood vessels that supply your heart with blood oxygen and nutrients mdash become damaged or diseased Cholesterol-containing deposits (plaque) in your arteries and inflammation are usually to blame for coronary artery disease

When plaques build up they narrow your coronary arteries decreasing blood flow to your heart Eventually the decreased blood flow may cause chest pain (angina) shortness of breath or other coronary artery disease signs and symptoms A complete blockage can cause a heart attack

Because coronary artery disease often develops over decades it can go unnoticed until you have a heart attack But theres plenty you can do to prevent and treat coronary artery disease Start by committing to a healthy lifestyle

If your coronary arteries narrow they cant supply enough oxygen-rich blood to your heart mdash especially when its beating hard such as during exercise At first the decreased blood flow may not cause any coronary artery disease symptoms As the plaques continue to build up in your coronary arteries however you may develop coronary artery disease signs and symptoms including

bullChest pain (angina) You may feel pressure or tightness in your chest as if someone were standing on your chest The pain referred to as angina is usually triggered by physical or emotional stress It typically goes away within minutes after stopping the stressful activity In some people especially women this pain may be fleeting or sharp and felt in the abdomen back or arm

bullShortness of breath If your heart cant pump enough blood to meet your bodys needs you may develop shortness of breath or extreme fatigue with exertion

bullHeart attack A completely blocked coronary artery may cause a heart attack The classic signs and symptoms of a heart attack include crushing pressure in your chest and pain in your shoulder or arm sometimes with shortness of breath and sweating Women are somewhat more likely than men are to experience less typical signs and symptoms of a heart attack such as nausea and back or jaw pain Sometimes a heart attack occurs without any apparent signs or symptoms

When to see a doctor

If you suspect youre having a heart attack immediately call 911 or your local emergency number If you dont have access to emergency medical services have someone drive you to the nearest hospital Drive yourself only as a last resort

If you have risk factors for coronary artery disease mdash such as high blood pressure high cholesterol tobacco use diabetes or obesity mdash talk to your doctor He or she may want to test you for the condition especially if you have signs or symptoms of narrowed arteries Even if you dont have evidence of coronary artery disease your doctor may recommend aggressive treatment of your risk factors Early diagnosis and

treatment may stop progression of coronary artery disease and help prevent a heart attack

and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

After a meeting several days ago I couldnt find my keys I quickly gave myself a personal TSA Pat Down

They werent in my pockets Suddenly I realized I must have left them in the car

Frantically I headed for the parking lot My husband has scolded me many times for leaving my keys in the cars ignition Hes afraid that the car could be stolen As I looked around the parking lot I realized he was right

The parking lot was empty I immediately called the police I gave them my location confessed that I had left my keys in the car and that it had been stolen

Then I made the most difficult call of all to my husband I left my keys in the car and its been stolen

There was a moment of silence I thought the call had been disconnected but then I heard his voice

Are you kidding me he barked I dropped you off

Now it was my turn to be silent

Embarrassed I said Well come and get me

He retorted I will as soon as I convince this cop that I didnt steal your damn car

P A R A D I S E V I L L A G E N E W S

Winter in Manitoba ndash 2001

My wife Linda and I made the decision to buy a brand new vehicle ndash a FORD ESCAPE Like all things new it didnrsquot take long to mark it up ndash we were involved in an accident and consequently our car had to go to the body shop for repairs We had car replacement coverage from MPIC and Frontier Toyota on Regent Avenue in Winnipeg was to supply us with a vehicle Linda and I took the Escape to the auto body repair shop and they in turn drove us over to Frontier who supplied us with a nice new Toyota vehicle Okay we are set

I had Linda drop me off at our house on Talbot Avenue She was going shopping so I asked her to take my pay cheque and cash it for me while she was out When Linda returned home she couldnrsquot open the garage ndash she got out of the Toyota to come in and get the garage opener - one problem - neither of us remembered to take it out of the Escape The Toyota LOCKED UP TIGHT as soon as she got out of it and left the keys in the ignition and the car running ldquoNo problemrdquo says Linda ldquoGive me the spare key and Irsquoll go and move the car so it isnrsquot blocking the lanerdquo The dealer did not give us a spare key Now the car is idling away half way blocking the back lane and her purse WITH MY CASHED PAY CHEQUE in it is sitting in plain view on the passenger seat Keeping calm I called Frontier ndash whoops ndash after 600pm ndash closed

It is -40 degrees outside I call CAA for assistance They advise it will be approximately 2 hours before they can come and help us out I put on my snowmobile suit and go outside to stand guard over my pay cheque Four hours go by ndash no CAA It is now 1000pm and Irsquom darned cold - I call CAA again ndash did they forget about me Oh no they tell me it wonrsquot be long now there is a truck in the area At 1100pm with no CAA in sight I fire up my computer and start looking for an emergency call number for Toyota Success and bonus - the number is operative 247 I place my call and explain my situation ndash the lady who answers is in Alabama ndash she has never heard of Manitoba never mind temperatures of -40 degrees however she is sure she can find assistance within the hour Okay ndash it is now 100am ndash Irsquom no longer cold ndash Irsquom numb and my patience is getting pretty thin I call the lady back ndash yes she has found assistance ndash CAA I call CAA again ndash I am assured that CAA customers come first and that I am at the top of their list ndash the truck should be at my house within minutes Lo and behold ndash 200am and what did I see ndash the CAA tow truck The driver advised he had a special tool to open the door with ndash it would only be a matter of min-utes He got it stuck

The CAA dispatcher says that their expert is just coming off shift ndash hersquod be right over 300am

The expert has now arrived He too got the door jimmy stuck Okay we now have a jimmy stuck in the window of the driversrsquo door and in the window of the passengersrsquo door Neither can be removed At this point Irsquom done ndash It is 500am I manually open the garage door from the inside have CAA push the car into the garage ndash I leave the garage door slightly open to allow exhaust to escape as the car is still idling away Finally at 800am I get a spare key from Frontier Linda and I drove that Toyota with the jimmy bars banging against the car roof for a week Frontier had to take both doors apart in order to remove them

December 2014 - Coronary Artery Disease

Coronary artery disease develops when your coronary arteries mdash the major blood vessels that supply your heart with blood oxygen and nutrients mdash become damaged or diseased Cholesterol-containing deposits (plaque) in your arteries and inflammation are usually to blame for coronary artery disease

When plaques build up they narrow your coronary arteries decreasing blood flow to your heart Eventually the decreased blood flow may cause chest pain (angina) shortness of breath or other coronary artery disease signs and symptoms A complete blockage can cause a heart attack

Because coronary artery disease often develops over decades it can go unnoticed until you have a heart attack But theres plenty you can do to prevent and treat coronary artery disease Start by committing to a healthy lifestyle

If your coronary arteries narrow they cant supply enough oxygen-rich blood to your heart mdash especially when its beating hard such as during exercise At first the decreased blood flow may not cause any coronary artery disease symptoms As the plaques continue to build up in your coronary arteries however you may develop coronary artery disease signs and symptoms including

bullChest pain (angina) You may feel pressure or tightness in your chest as if someone were standing on your chest The pain referred to as angina is usually triggered by physical or emotional stress It typically goes away within minutes after stopping the stressful activity In some people especially women this pain may be fleeting or sharp and felt in the abdomen back or arm

bullShortness of breath If your heart cant pump enough blood to meet your bodys needs you may develop shortness of breath or extreme fatigue with exertion

bullHeart attack A completely blocked coronary artery may cause a heart attack The classic signs and symptoms of a heart attack include crushing pressure in your chest and pain in your shoulder or arm sometimes with shortness of breath and sweating Women are somewhat more likely than men are to experience less typical signs and symptoms of a heart attack such as nausea and back or jaw pain Sometimes a heart attack occurs without any apparent signs or symptoms

When to see a doctor

If you suspect youre having a heart attack immediately call 911 or your local emergency number If you dont have access to emergency medical services have someone drive you to the nearest hospital Drive yourself only as a last resort

If you have risk factors for coronary artery disease mdash such as high blood pressure high cholesterol tobacco use diabetes or obesity mdash talk to your doctor He or she may want to test you for the condition especially if you have signs or symptoms of narrowed arteries Even if you dont have evidence of coronary artery disease your doctor may recommend aggressive treatment of your risk factors Early diagnosis and

treatment may stop progression of coronary artery disease and help prevent a heart attack

My wife Linda and I made the decision to buy a brand new vehicle ndash a FORD ESCAPE Like all things new it didnrsquot take long to mark it up ndash we were involved in an accident and consequently our car had to go to the body shop for repairs We had car replacement coverage from MPIC and Frontier Toyota on Regent Avenue in Winnipeg was to supply us with a vehicle Linda and I took the Escape to the auto body repair shop and they in turn drove us over to Frontier who supplied us with a nice new Toyota vehicle Okay we are set

I had Linda drop me off at our house on Talbot Avenue She was going shopping so I asked her to take my pay cheque and cash it for me while she was out When Linda returned home she couldnrsquot open the garage ndash she got out of the Toyota to come in and get the garage opener - one problem - neither of us remembered to take it out of the Escape The Toyota LOCKED UP TIGHT as soon as she got out of it and left the keys in the ignition and the car running ldquoNo problemrdquo says Linda ldquoGive me the spare key and Irsquoll go and move the car so it isnrsquot blocking the lanerdquo The dealer did not give us a spare key Now the car is idling away half way blocking the back lane and her purse WITH MY CASHED PAY CHEQUE in it is sitting in plain view on the passenger seat Keeping calm I called Frontier ndash whoops ndash after 600pm ndash closed

It is -40 degrees outside I call CAA for assistance They advise it will be approximately 2 hours before they can come and help us out I put on my snowmobile suit and go outside to stand guard over my pay cheque Four hours go by ndash no CAA It is now 1000pm and Irsquom darned cold - I call CAA again ndash did they forget about me Oh no they tell me it wonrsquot be long now there is a truck in the area At 1100pm with no CAA in sight I fire up my computer and start looking for an emergency call number for Toyota Success and bonus - the number is operative 247 I place my call and explain my situation ndash the lady who answers is in Alabama ndash she has never heard of Manitoba never mind temperatures of -40 degrees however she is sure she can find assistance within the hour Okay ndash it is now 100am ndash Irsquom no longer cold ndash Irsquom numb and my patience is getting pretty thin I call the lady back ndash yes she has found assistance ndash CAA I call CAA again ndash I am assured that CAA customers come first and that I am at the top of their list ndash the truck should be at my house within minutes Lo and behold ndash 200am and what did I see ndash the CAA tow truck The driver advised he had a special tool to open the door with ndash it would only be a matter of min-utes He got it stuck

The CAA dispatcher says that their expert is just coming off shift ndash hersquod be right over 300am

The expert has now arrived He too got the door jimmy stuck Okay we now have a jimmy stuck in the window of the driversrsquo door and in the window of the passengersrsquo door Neither can be removed At this point Irsquom done ndash It is 500am I manually open the garage door from the inside have CAA push the car into the garage ndash I leave the garage door slightly open to allow exhaust to escape as the car is still idling away Finally at 800am I get a spare key from Frontier Linda and I drove that Toyota with the jimmy bars banging against the car roof for a week Frontier had to take both doors apart in order to remove them

December 2014 - Coronary Artery Disease

Coronary artery disease develops when your coronary arteries mdash the major blood vessels that supply your heart with blood oxygen and nutrients mdash become damaged or diseased Cholesterol-containing deposits (plaque) in your arteries and inflammation are usually to blame for coronary artery disease

When plaques build up they narrow your coronary arteries decreasing blood flow to your heart Eventually the decreased blood flow may cause chest pain (angina) shortness of breath or other coronary artery disease signs and symptoms A complete blockage can cause a heart attack

Because coronary artery disease often develops over decades it can go unnoticed until you have a heart attack But theres plenty you can do to prevent and treat coronary artery disease Start by committing to a healthy lifestyle

If your coronary arteries narrow they cant supply enough oxygen-rich blood to your heart mdash especially when its beating hard such as during exercise At first the decreased blood flow may not cause any coronary artery disease symptoms As the plaques continue to build up in your coronary arteries however you may develop coronary artery disease signs and symptoms including

bullChest pain (angina) You may feel pressure or tightness in your chest as if someone were standing on your chest The pain referred to as angina is usually triggered by physical or emotional stress It typically goes away within minutes after stopping the stressful activity In some people especially women this pain may be fleeting or sharp and felt in the abdomen back or arm

bullShortness of breath If your heart cant pump enough blood to meet your bodys needs you may develop shortness of breath or extreme fatigue with exertion

bullHeart attack A completely blocked coronary artery may cause a heart attack The classic signs and symptoms of a heart attack include crushing pressure in your chest and pain in your shoulder or arm sometimes with shortness of breath and sweating Women are somewhat more likely than men are to experience less typical signs and symptoms of a heart attack such as nausea and back or jaw pain Sometimes a heart attack occurs without any apparent signs or symptoms

When to see a doctor

If you suspect youre having a heart attack immediately call 911 or your local emergency number If you dont have access to emergency medical services have someone drive you to the nearest hospital Drive yourself only as a last resort

If you have risk factors for coronary artery disease mdash such as high blood pressure high cholesterol tobacco use diabetes or obesity mdash talk to your doctor He or she may want to test you for the condition especially if you have signs or symptoms of narrowed arteries Even if you dont have evidence of coronary artery disease your doctor may recommend aggressive treatment of your risk factors Early diagnosis and

treatment may stop progression of coronary artery disease and help prevent a heart attack

When plaques build up they narrow your coronary arteries decreasing blood flow to your heart Eventually the decreased blood flow may cause chest pain (angina) shortness of breath or other coronary artery disease signs and symptoms A complete blockage can cause a heart attack

Because coronary artery disease often develops over decades it can go unnoticed until you have a heart attack But theres plenty you can do to prevent and treat coronary artery disease Start by committing to a healthy lifestyle

If your coronary arteries narrow they cant supply enough oxygen-rich blood to your heart mdash especially when its beating hard such as during exercise At first the decreased blood flow may not cause any coronary artery disease symptoms As the plaques continue to build up in your coronary arteries however you may develop coronary artery disease signs and symptoms including

bullChest pain (angina) You may feel pressure or tightness in your chest as if someone were standing on your chest The pain referred to as angina is usually triggered by physical or emotional stress It typically goes away within minutes after stopping the stressful activity In some people especially women this pain may be fleeting or sharp and felt in the abdomen back or arm

bullShortness of breath If your heart cant pump enough blood to meet your bodys needs you may develop shortness of breath or extreme fatigue with exertion

bullHeart attack A completely blocked coronary artery may cause a heart attack The classic signs and symptoms of a heart attack include crushing pressure in your chest and pain in your shoulder or arm sometimes with shortness of breath and sweating Women are somewhat more likely than men are to experience less typical signs and symptoms of a heart attack such as nausea and back or jaw pain Sometimes a heart attack occurs without any apparent signs or symptoms

When to see a doctor

If you suspect youre having a heart attack immediately call 911 or your local emergency number If you dont have access to emergency medical services have someone drive you to the nearest hospital Drive yourself only as a last resort

If you have risk factors for coronary artery disease mdash such as high blood pressure high cholesterol tobacco use diabetes or obesity mdash talk to your doctor He or she may want to test you for the condition especially if you have signs or symptoms of narrowed arteries Even if you dont have evidence of coronary artery disease your doctor may recommend aggressive treatment of your risk factors Early diagnosis and

treatment may stop progression of coronary artery disease and help prevent a heart attack

Winter in Manitoba ndash 2001

My wife Linda and I made the decision to buy a brand new vehicle ndash a FORD ESCAPE Like all things new it didnrsquot take long to mark it up ndash we were involved in an accident and consequently our car had to go to the body shop for repairs We had car replacement coverage from MPIC and Frontier Toyota on Regent Avenue in Winnipeg was to supply us with a vehicle Linda and I took the Escape to the auto body repair shop and they in turn drove us over to Frontier who supplied us with a nice new Toyota vehicle Okay we are set

I had Linda drop me off at our house on Talbot Avenue She was going shopping so I asked her to take my pay cheque and cash it for me while she was out When Linda returned home she couldnrsquot open the garage ndash she got out of the Toyota to come in and get the garage opener - one problem - neither of us remembered to take it out of the Escape The Toyota LOCKED UP TIGHT as soon as she got out of it and left the keys in the ignition and the car running ldquoNo problemrdquo says Linda ldquoGive me the spare key and Irsquoll go and move the car so it isnrsquot blocking the lanerdquo The dealer did not give us a spare key Now the car is idling away half way blocking the back lane and her purse WITH MY CASHED PAY CHEQUE in it is sitting in plain view on the passenger seat Keeping calm I called Frontier ndash whoops ndash after 600pm ndash closed

It is -40 degrees outside I call CAA for assistance They advise it will be approximately 2 hours before they can come and help us out I put on my snowmobile suit and go outside to stand guard over my pay cheque Four hours go by ndash no CAA It is now 1000pm and Irsquom darned cold - I call CAA again ndash did they forget about me Oh no they tell me it wonrsquot be long now there is a truck in the area At 1100pm with no CAA in sight I fire up my computer and start looking for an emergency call number for Toyota Success and bonus - the number is operative 247 I place my call and explain my situation ndash the lady who answers is in Alabama ndash she has never heard of Manitoba never mind temperatures of -40 degrees however she is sure she can find assistance within the hour Okay ndash it is now 100am ndash Irsquom no longer cold ndash Irsquom numb and my patience is getting pretty thin I call the lady back ndash yes she has found assistance ndash CAA I call CAA again ndash I am assured that CAA customers come first and that I am at the top of their list ndash the truck should be at my house within minutes Lo and behold ndash 200am and what did I see ndash the CAA tow truck The driver advised he had a special tool to open the door with ndash it would only be a matter of min-utes He got it stuck

The CAA dispatcher says that their expert is just coming off shift ndash hersquod be right over 300am

The expert has now arrived He too got the door jimmy stuck Okay we now have a jimmy stuck in the window of the driversrsquo door and in the window of the passengersrsquo door Neither can be removed At this point Irsquom done ndash It is 500am I manually open the garage door from the inside have CAA push the car into the garage ndash I leave the garage door slightly open to allow exhaust to escape as the car is still idling away Finally at 800am I get a spare key from Frontier Linda and I drove that Toyota with the jimmy bars banging against the car roof for a week Frontier had to take both doors apart in order to remove them

Winter in Manitoba ndash 2001

My wife Linda and I made the decision to buy a brand new vehicle ndash a FORD ESCAPE Like all things new it didnrsquot take long to mark it up ndash we were involved in an accident and consequently our car had to go to the body shop for repairs We had car replacement coverage from MPIC and Frontier Toyota on Regent Avenue in Winnipeg was to supply us with a vehicle Linda and I took the Escape to the auto body repair shop and they in turn drove us over to Frontier who supplied us with a nice new Toyota vehicle Okay we are set

I had Linda drop me off at our house on Talbot Avenue She was going shopping so I asked her to take my pay cheque and cash it for me while she was out When Linda returned home she couldnrsquot open the garage ndash she got out of the Toyota to come in and get the garage opener - one problem - neither of us remembered to take it out of the Escape The Toyota LOCKED UP TIGHT as soon as she got out of it and left the keys in the ignition and the car running ldquoNo problemrdquo says Linda ldquoGive me the spare key and Irsquoll go and move the car so it isnrsquot blocking the lanerdquo The dealer did not give us a spare key Now the car is idling away half way blocking the back lane and her purse WITH MY CASHED PAY CHEQUE in it is sitting in plain view on the passenger seat Keeping calm I called Frontier ndash whoops ndash after 600pm ndash closed

It is -40 degrees outside I call CAA for assistance They advise it will be approximately 2 hours before they can come and help us out I put on my snowmobile suit and go outside to stand guard over my pay cheque Four hours go by ndash no CAA It is now 1000pm and Irsquom darned cold - I call CAA again ndash did they forget about me Oh no they tell me it wonrsquot be long now there is a truck in the area At 1100pm with no CAA in sight I fire up my computer and start looking for an emergency call number for Toyota Success and bonus - the number is operative 247 I place my call and explain my situation ndash the lady who answers is in Alabama ndash she has never heard of Manitoba never mind temperatures of -40 degrees however she is sure she can find assistance within the hour Okay ndash it is now 100am ndash Irsquom no longer cold ndash Irsquom numb and my patience is getting pretty thin I call the lady back ndash yes she has found assistance ndash CAA I call CAA again ndash I am assured that CAA customers come first and that I am at the top of their list ndash the truck should be at my house within minutes Lo and behold ndash 200am and what did I see ndash the CAA tow truck The driver advised he had a special tool to open the door with ndash it would only be a matter of min-utes He got it stuck

The CAA dispatcher says that their expert is just coming off shift ndash hersquod be right over 300am

The expert has now arrived He too got the door jimmy stuck Okay we now have a jimmy stuck in the window of the driversrsquo door and in the window of the passengersrsquo door Neither can be removed At this point Irsquom done ndash It is 500am I manually open the garage door from the inside have CAA push the car into the garage ndash I leave the garage door slightly open to allow exhaust to escape as the car is still idling away Finally at 800am I get a spare key from Frontier Linda and I drove that Toyota with the jimmy bars banging against the car roof for a week Frontier had to take both doors apart in order to remove them

December 2014 - Coronary Artery Disease

Coronary artery disease develops when your coronary arteries mdash the major blood vessels that supply your heart with blood oxygen and nutrients mdash become damaged or diseased Cholesterol-containing deposits (plaque) in your arteries and inflammation are usually to blame for coronary artery disease

When plaques build up they narrow your coronary arteries decreasing blood flow to your heart Eventually the decreased blood flow may cause chest pain (angina) shortness of breath or other coronary artery disease signs and symptoms A complete blockage can cause a heart attack

Because coronary artery disease often develops over decades it can go unnoticed until you have a heart attack But theres plenty you can do to prevent and treat coronary artery disease Start by committing to a healthy lifestyle

If your coronary arteries narrow they cant supply enough oxygen-rich blood to your heart mdash especially when its beating hard such as during exercise At first the decreased blood flow may not cause any coronary artery disease symptoms As the plaques continue to build up in your coronary arteries however you may develop coronary artery disease signs and symptoms including

bullChest pain (angina) You may feel pressure or tightness in your chest as if someone were standing on your chest The pain referred to as angina is usually triggered by physical or emotional stress It typically goes away within minutes after stopping the stressful activity In some people especially women this pain may be fleeting or sharp and felt in the abdomen back or arm

bullShortness of breath If your heart cant pump enough blood to meet your bodys needs you may develop shortness of breath or extreme fatigue with exertion

bullHeart attack A completely blocked coronary artery may cause a heart attack The classic signs and symptoms of a heart attack include crushing pressure in your chest and pain in your shoulder or arm sometimes with shortness of breath and sweating Women are somewhat more likely than men are to experience less typical signs and symptoms of a heart attack such as nausea and back or jaw pain Sometimes a heart attack occurs without any apparent signs or symptoms

When to see a doctor

If you suspect youre having a heart attack immediately call 911 or your local emergency number If you dont have access to emergency medical services have someone drive you to the nearest hospital Drive yourself only as a last resort

If you have risk factors for coronary artery disease mdash such as high blood pressure high cholesterol tobacco use diabetes or obesity mdash talk to your doctor He or she may want to test you for the condition especially if you have signs or symptoms of narrowed arteries Even if you dont have evidence of coronary artery disease your doctor may recommend aggressive treatment of your risk factors Early diagnosis and

treatment may stop progression of coronary artery disease and help prevent a heart attack

December 2014 - Coronary Artery Disease

Coronary artery disease develops when your coronary arteries mdash the major blood vessels that supply your heart with blood oxygen and nutrients mdash become damaged or diseased Cholesterol-containing deposits (plaque) in your arteries and inflammation are usually to blame for coronary artery disease

When plaques build up they narrow your coronary arteries decreasing blood flow to your heart Eventually the decreased blood flow may cause chest pain (angina) shortness of breath or other coronary artery disease signs and symptoms A complete blockage can cause a heart attack

Because coronary artery disease often develops over decades it can go unnoticed until you have a heart attack But theres plenty you can do to prevent and treat coronary artery disease Start by committing to a healthy lifestyle

If your coronary arteries narrow they cant supply enough oxygen-rich blood to your heart mdash especially when its beating hard such as during exercise At first the decreased blood flow may not cause any coronary artery disease symptoms As the plaques continue to build up in your coronary arteries however you may develop coronary artery disease signs and symptoms including

bullChest pain (angina) You may feel pressure or tightness in your chest as if someone were standing on your chest The pain referred to as angina is usually triggered by physical or emotional stress It typically goes away within minutes after stopping the stressful activity In some people especially women this pain may be fleeting or sharp and felt in the abdomen back or arm

bullShortness of breath If your heart cant pump enough blood to meet your bodys needs you may develop shortness of breath or extreme fatigue with exertion

bullHeart attack A completely blocked coronary artery may cause a heart attack The classic signs and symptoms of a heart attack include crushing pressure in your chest and pain in your shoulder or arm sometimes with shortness of breath and sweating Women are somewhat more likely than men are to experience less typical signs and symptoms of a heart attack such as nausea and back or jaw pain Sometimes a heart attack occurs without any apparent signs or symptoms

When to see a doctor

If you suspect youre having a heart attack immediately call 911 or your local emergency number If you dont have access to emergency medical services have someone drive you to the nearest hospital Drive yourself only as a last resort

If you have risk factors for coronary artery disease mdash such as high blood pressure high cholesterol tobacco use diabetes or obesity mdash talk to your doctor He or she may want to test you for the condition especially if you have signs or symptoms of narrowed arteries Even if you dont have evidence of coronary artery disease your doctor may recommend aggressive treatment of your risk factors Early diagnosis and

treatment may stop progression of coronary artery disease and help prevent a heart attack

December 2014 - Coronary Artery Disease

Coronary artery disease develops when your coronary arteries mdash the major blood vessels that supply your heart with blood oxygen and nutrients mdash become damaged or diseased Cholesterol-containing deposits (plaque) in your arteries and inflammation are usually to blame for coronary artery disease

When plaques build up they narrow your coronary arteries decreasing blood flow to your heart Eventually the decreased blood flow may cause chest pain (angina) shortness of breath or other coronary artery disease signs and symptoms A complete blockage can cause a heart attack

Because coronary artery disease often develops over decades it can go unnoticed until you have a heart attack But theres plenty you can do to prevent and treat coronary artery disease Start by committing to a healthy lifestyle

If your coronary arteries narrow they cant supply enough oxygen-rich blood to your heart mdash especially when its beating hard such as during exercise At first the decreased blood flow may not cause any coronary artery disease symptoms As the plaques continue to build up in your coronary arteries however you may develop coronary artery disease signs and symptoms including

bullChest pain (angina) You may feel pressure or tightness in your chest as if someone were standing on your chest The pain referred to as angina is usually triggered by physical or emotional stress It typically goes away within minutes after stopping the stressful activity In some people especially women this pain may be fleeting or sharp and felt in the abdomen back or arm

bullShortness of breath If your heart cant pump enough blood to meet your bodys needs you may develop shortness of breath or extreme fatigue with exertion

bullHeart attack A completely blocked coronary artery may cause a heart attack The classic signs and symptoms of a heart attack include crushing pressure in your chest and pain in your shoulder or arm sometimes with shortness of breath and sweating Women are somewhat more likely than men are to experience less typical signs and symptoms of a heart attack such as nausea and back or jaw pain Sometimes a heart attack occurs without any apparent signs or symptoms

When to see a doctor

If you suspect youre having a heart attack immediately call 911 or your local emergency number If you dont have access to emergency medical services have someone drive you to the nearest hospital Drive yourself only as a last resort

If you have risk factors for coronary artery disease mdash such as high blood pressure high cholesterol tobacco use diabetes or obesity mdash talk to your doctor He or she may want to test you for the condition especially if you have signs or symptoms of narrowed arteries Even if you dont have evidence of coronary artery disease your doctor may recommend aggressive treatment of your risk factors Early diagnosis and

treatment may stop progression of coronary artery disease and help prevent a heart attack

A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions

and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

Florida Calling

Best wishes for a safe Christmas from Ila and Brian Cooper in sunny

Zephyrhills Florida

Got a touch of frost on the newly planted flowers and lawn yesterday but no

permanent damage So relaxing to be back where gas prices have fallen to

about $280gallon US the tomatoes are delicious food prices much

lowerand the sun tanning is beginning to show results

Wersquore cruising again to Jamaica and Haiti early

December on the big ship where the ice shows

rock climbing wall and mini golf will be the focus

of our attention Just kickinrsquo back now with a cool

rum and coke Maybe cut lawn tomorrow Cheers

December 2014 - Coronary Artery Disease

Coronary artery disease develops when your coronary arteries mdash the major blood vessels that supply your heart with blood oxygen and nutrients mdash become damaged or diseased Cholesterol-containing deposits (plaque) in your arteries and inflammation are usually to blame for coronary artery disease

When plaques build up they narrow your coronary arteries decreasing blood flow to your heart Eventually the decreased blood flow may cause chest pain (angina) shortness of breath or other coronary artery disease signs and symptoms A complete blockage can cause a heart attack

Because coronary artery disease often develops over decades it can go unnoticed until you have a heart attack But theres plenty you can do to prevent and treat coronary artery disease Start by committing to a healthy lifestyle

If your coronary arteries narrow they cant supply enough oxygen-rich blood to your heart mdash especially when its beating hard such as during exercise At first the decreased blood flow may not cause any coronary artery disease symptoms As the plaques continue to build up in your coronary arteries however you may develop coronary artery disease signs and symptoms including

bullChest pain (angina) You may feel pressure or tightness in your chest as if someone were standing on your chest The pain referred to as angina is usually triggered by physical or emotional stress It typically goes away within minutes after stopping the stressful activity In some people especially women this pain may be fleeting or sharp and felt in the abdomen back or arm

bullShortness of breath If your heart cant pump enough blood to meet your bodys needs you may develop shortness of breath or extreme fatigue with exertion

bullHeart attack A completely blocked coronary artery may cause a heart attack The classic signs and symptoms of a heart attack include crushing pressure in your chest and pain in your shoulder or arm sometimes with shortness of breath and sweating Women are somewhat more likely than men are to experience less typical signs and symptoms of a heart attack such as nausea and back or jaw pain Sometimes a heart attack occurs without any apparent signs or symptoms

When to see a doctor

If you suspect youre having a heart attack immediately call 911 or your local emergency number If you dont have access to emergency medical services have someone drive you to the nearest hospital Drive yourself only as a last resort

If you have risk factors for coronary artery disease mdash such as high blood pressure high cholesterol tobacco use diabetes or obesity mdash talk to your doctor He or she may want to test you for the condition especially if you have signs or symptoms of narrowed arteries Even if you dont have evidence of coronary artery disease your doctor may recommend aggressive treatment of your risk factors Early diagnosis and

treatment may stop progression of coronary artery disease and help prevent a heart attack

December 2014 - Coronary Artery Disease

Coronary artery disease develops when your coronary arteries mdash the major blood vessels that supply your heart with blood oxygen and nutrients mdash become damaged or diseased Cholesterol-containing deposits (plaque) in your arteries and inflammation are usually to blame for coronary artery disease

When plaques build up they narrow your coronary arteries decreasing blood flow to your heart Eventually the decreased blood flow may cause chest pain (angina) shortness of breath or other coronary artery disease signs and symptoms A complete blockage can cause a heart attack

Because coronary artery disease often develops over decades it can go unnoticed until you have a heart attack But theres plenty you can do to prevent and treat coronary artery disease Start by committing to a healthy lifestyle

If your coronary arteries narrow they cant supply enough oxygen-rich blood to your heart mdash especially when its beating hard such as during exercise At first the decreased blood flow may not cause any coronary artery disease symptoms As the plaques continue to build up in your coronary arteries however you may develop coronary artery disease signs and symptoms including

bullChest pain (angina) You may feel pressure or tightness in your chest as if someone were standing on your chest The pain referred to as angina is usually triggered by physical or emotional stress It typically goes away within minutes after stopping the stressful activity In some people especially women this pain may be fleeting or sharp and felt in the abdomen back or arm

bullShortness of breath If your heart cant pump enough blood to meet your bodys needs you may develop shortness of breath or extreme fatigue with exertion

bullHeart attack A completely blocked coronary artery may cause a heart attack The classic signs and symptoms of a heart attack include crushing pressure in your chest and pain in your shoulder or arm sometimes with shortness of breath and sweating Women are somewhat more likely than men are to experience less typical signs and symptoms of a heart attack such as nausea and back or jaw pain Sometimes a heart attack occurs without any apparent signs or symptoms

When to see a doctor

If you suspect youre having a heart attack immediately call 911 or your local emergency number If you dont have access to emergency medical services have someone drive you to the nearest hospital Drive yourself only as a last resort

If you have risk factors for coronary artery disease mdash such as high blood pressure high cholesterol tobacco use diabetes or obesity mdash talk to your doctor He or she may want to test you for the condition especially if you have signs or symptoms of narrowed arteries Even if you dont have evidence of coronary artery disease your doctor may recommend aggressive treatment of your risk factors Early diagnosis and

treatment may stop progression of coronary artery disease and help prevent a heart attack

December 2014 - Coronary Artery Disease

Coronary artery disease develops when your coronary arteries mdash the major blood vessels that supply your heart with blood oxygen and nutrients mdash become damaged or diseased Cholesterol-containing deposits (plaque) in your arteries and inflammation are usually to blame for coronary artery disease

When plaques build up they narrow your coronary arteries decreasing blood flow to your heart Eventually the decreased blood flow may cause chest pain (angina) shortness of breath or other coronary artery disease signs and symptoms A complete blockage can cause a heart attack

Because coronary artery disease often develops over decades it can go unnoticed until you have a heart attack But theres plenty you can do to prevent and treat coronary artery disease Start by committing to a healthy lifestyle

If your coronary arteries narrow they cant supply enough oxygen-rich blood to your heart mdash especially when its beating hard such as during exercise At first the decreased blood flow may not cause any coronary artery disease symptoms As the plaques continue to build up in your coronary arteries however you may develop coronary artery disease signs and symptoms including

bullChest pain (angina) You may feel pressure or tightness in your chest as if someone were standing on your chest The pain referred to as angina is usually triggered by physical or emotional stress It typically goes away within minutes after stopping the stressful activity In some people especially women this pain may be fleeting or sharp and felt in the abdomen back or arm

bullShortness of breath If your heart cant pump enough blood to meet your bodys needs you may develop shortness of breath or extreme fatigue with exertion

bullHeart attack A completely blocked coronary artery may cause a heart attack The classic signs and symptoms of a heart attack include crushing pressure in your chest and pain in your shoulder or arm sometimes with shortness of breath and sweating Women are somewhat more likely than men are to experience less typical signs and symptoms of a heart attack such as nausea and back or jaw pain Sometimes a heart attack occurs without any apparent signs or symptoms

When to see a doctor

If you suspect youre having a heart attack immediately call 911 or your local emergency number If you dont have access to emergency medical services have someone drive you to the nearest hospital Drive yourself only as a last resort

If you have risk factors for coronary artery disease mdash such as high blood pressure high cholesterol tobacco use diabetes or obesity mdash talk to your doctor He or she may want to test you for the condition especially if you have signs or symptoms of narrowed arteries Even if you dont have evidence of coronary artery disease your doctor may recommend aggressive treatment of your risk factors Early diagnosis and

treatment may stop progression of coronary artery disease and help prevent a heart attack
