AND THEN IT WAS WINTER by Barb Prior
You knowhelliptime has a way of moving quickly and catching you
unaware of the passing years It seems just yesterday that I was young
just married and embarking on my new life Yet in a way it seems
like eons ago and I wonder where all the years went I know that I
have lived them all I have glimpses of how it was back then of all
my hopes and dreams But here it is the back nine of my life and it
catches me by surprise How did I get here so fast I remember seeing
older people through the years and thinking that those older people
were years away from me I was only on the first hole and the back
nine was so far off that I could not imagine what it would be like
But here it ismy friends are retired and getting grey They move
slower I remember when we were young and vibrant but like me
our age is beginning to show We are now those older folks
And so now I enter this new season of my life unprepared for all the
aches and pains the loss of strength and ability to do the things that I
wish I had done but never did Im now on the back nine of my life
and I dont know how long it will last
Yes I have regrets There are things I wish I hadnt donethings I
should have done but indeed there are many things Im happy to have
done Its all part of my lifetime
So if you are not yet on your back nine let me remind you it will be
here faster than you think Whatever you would like to accomplish in
your lifedo it Life goes by quickly
There are no promises that you will see all the seasons of your
life LIVE FOR TODAY
Tell your loved ones all the things you want them to remember and
hope they appreciate and love you for all the things you have done for
them through the years
Life is a gift The way you live your life is your gift to those who
come after Make it a fantastic one Its not what you gather but what
you scatter that tells what kind of life you have lived
Live well Enjoy today Be happy Health is the real wealth
Consider the following
Your kids are becoming you but your grandchildren are perfect
Going out is good coming home is better
You forget namesIts OK because other people forget the even knew
you
You realize yoursquore never going to be really good at any-
thingespecially golf
You sleep better in a lounge chair with the TV blaring than in bed
You miss the days when everything worked with just an ON and
OFF switch
You tend to use more four letter wordsWhat ldquoWhen
What used to be freckles are now liver spots
Everybody whispers
Old is good in some things Old songs Old movies Old friends
Stay well old friend Today is the oldest youve ever been yet the
youngest youll ever be So enjoy this day while it lasts

Angel Fingerprints by Barbara Ann Derksen (Paradise Resident)
Angels are a topic of conversation in many homes during the Christmas season We place them on Christmas tree tops and listen as children depicting angels in a Christmas pageant tell shepherds to go to Bethlehem to see the Savior
But do angels really exist Bob Kristensen was about to find out
The day was cool dry and sunny with a crisp feel to the air on this pre-Christmas day in 2001 Bob decided early that morning that he would cut some wood from a neighborrsquos yard She had a dead tree she wanted removed Bob had a hungry wood-eating furnace at home
Completing his regular work schedule early he headed towards the field tools in hand Bob a strong Christian had never encountered an angel knew little about their existence except what the Bible told him so spent very little time thinking about them at all Smiling with his mind on the task at hand and not on angels he slammed the door to his truck and headed toward the large tree
It leaned a little to the north As Bob stared up at it the forty or fifty foot height seemed to reach heaven He knew a good Maple when he saw one and with a girth of three feet Bob knew the tree had been there a long time It had been damaged during a storm so now this tree would feed his furnace for a month or more Bob swung his axe for the first cut
He expected since the tree was leaning north that it would fall in that direction so he notched the north side of the tree He moved around to the south side His chain saw cut into the old bark spewing sawdust in all directions Bob glanced at the top occasionally The tree swayed as he reached the center with his saw sharpened for just such a time as this Before he had time to react the tree fell not to the north as was expected but directly over the spot where he was standing Life did not have time to flash before his eyes as the huge trunk aimed for his head
As if in a flash he was laying on the ground about twelve feet from the base of that huge tree His left leg was underneath the tree where the trunk was bowed He wiggled his foot No pain He stood dusted himself off and checked for broken bones None As he looked again at the tree some men whorsquod been working nearby ran to his side With disbelief and amazement written all over their faces each one asked if he was okay several times
ldquoWhat happened Did any of you see what happenedrdquo Bob looked from one face to the other
The rougher much younger man scratched his head blinked a few times and then replied ldquoIt looked as if you were moving backward very fast but neither of your feet were touching the groundrdquo The man surmised there was a space of about two feet between Bobrsquos feet and the ground under them
That was when Bob began to think about angels really think about them for the first time He left the tree lying where it was and drove as fast as the law would allow toward home He felt giddy almost strange thinking could it be true Bobrsquos wife was not home when he got there and by this time even though he hadnrsquot felt anything hit him soreness began to make itself known in his left front shoulder He decided to investigate Pulling off his shirt he discovered a large bruise
The main part of the bruise was close to baseball size but the entire left side of his chest was swollen He shook his head The only souvenir of his encounter with a tree that probably weighed 3000 pounds was a big ugly bruise
Bob spoke about the incident with a friend later that evening As most of us want to do he began to logically explain his bruise as the remains of the treersquos encounter with his body His friend however posed a good question ldquoIf a three thousand pound tree fell on you and hit you on the chest how could you possibly have gotten out from under itrdquo Bob began to feel that giddy sense of the unknown again Maybe that bruise was from a heavenly hand after all

th
Bob decided to seek his pastorrsquos advice the next day after he saw the five smaller bruises four on the back of his shoulder and one beside the larger bruise
The Bible says that angels are created beings with high intelligencerdquo the pastor began ldquoThey have the abil-ity to make moral judgment but they are spiritual beings without physical bodies The Bible clearly says that there are angels who guard people although I am not convinced that there is necessarily a guardian angel assigned to each person The idea that people who die become angels is not biblical but more an inspira-tional idea and popularized in the movie industryrdquo
He went on to explain that in scripture angels are of a separate created order from mankind ldquoWhen human beings die those who go to heaven remain human beings Angels are created to serve the Lord and the Bible talks about them protecting man Psalm 9111 says For He will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways They will lift you up in their hands so you will not strike your foot against a stonerdquo
The Reverend went on to explain that there are angels like man who are fallen and that God through His Son has provided a redemption plan for man but not for angels
ldquoDo angels help some people but not othersrdquo Bob had a hard time accepting Godrsquos intervention in this situation
ldquoIt would appear so according to Gods higher purposerdquo the pastor answered
Bob went home His senses tingling he took another look at the bruises on his left shoulder Each of the smaller imprints looked like a bruise but was exactly the size of a fingerprint four on his back and one on the front of his shoulder just a little to the right of the large bruise noticed the day before He called his wife
ldquoJean place your hand over those bruisesrdquo He watched in the mirror as she stood in front of him When she placed her smaller palm over the large bruise her thumb and fingers almost fit the exact place where the other bruises lay Bob knew that his angel had moved him out of harmrsquos way He had the hand print to prove it
Bob walks daily with the knowledge that God cares specifically for those who love him He has not encountered another angel but he has experienced Godrsquos caring in other ways He also knows many who act as Godrsquos angels in human form and he hopes he has become one of them

Paul amp Linda Ratte - 11 Nature Drive - moved to Paradise Village from Transcona on October 23 2015 When I
went to visit them they were still trying to get settled in and found they hadnt downsized nearly enough That seems
to be problematic with a lot of us They have been looking for years for a place to retire to and found Paradise Vil-
lage to be exactly what they were looking for They like the countryside the peace and friendliness and enjoy their
own private home garden and yard We talked about all the activities and events held at the Rec Centre and Paul
said thats another thing that attracted them to Paradise Village - the Pool and the Rec Centre Paul is still actively
employed as an electrician for Freshwater Fish but can hardly wait until he retires next year Linda did odd jobs
throughout her life but was basically a stay-at-home mom They have 3 children and 9 grandchildren so did a fair
amount of babysitting which she treasured Lindas interests are bird watching cooking gardening and playing
bingo Paul plays hockey is a backyard mechanic and a jack-of-all trades kind of a guyHad a most enjoyable visit
with Paul and Linda and encouraged them to come out to some of the activities where they will be able to meet other
residents in our beautiful Paradise Village

Sarah was in the fertilized egg business She had several hundred young pullets and ten roosters to
fertilize the eggs She kept records and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was
replaced
This took a lot of time so she bought some tiny bells and attached them to her roosters Each bell
had a different tone so she could tell from a distance which rooster was performing Now she could
sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells
Sarahs favorite rooster old Butch was a very fine specimen but this morning she noticed old
Butchs bell hadnt rung at all When she went to investigate she saw the other roosters were busy
chasing pullets bells-a-ringing but the pullets hearing the roosters coming would run for cover
To Sarahs amazement old Butch had his bell in his beak so it couldnt ring Hed sneak up on a pul-
let do his job and walk on to the next one
Sarah was so proud of old Butch she entered him in a Show and he became an over-
night sensation among the judges
The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the No Bell Peace Prize they
also awarded him the Pulletsurprise as well
Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making Who else but a politician could figure
out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at
sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they werent paying
attention
We hope you voted carefully in the last election You cant always hear the bells

The Edmonton Eskimos are named for the Eskimo or Inuit of northern Canada While not located in the far north land of the Inuit the nickname Eskimos was likely adopted for the alliterative effect and as a reference to Edmontons northern location The original name was Esquimaux from 1897 to 1910 from the archaic French spelling Edmonton has faced some pressure in the past couple decades to change their team name most recently in 2011 and 2014 Edmonton has a long history of teams with the Eskimo name in hockey baseball and other sports

Gout
Gout a rheumatic disease which results from the deposition of uric acid crystals in tissues and fluids manifests as sudden severe attacks of pain The typical presentation of gout is tenderness and pain in the big toe but the patient may experience an atypical presentation where any joint can be affected Gout occurs as a result of urate production (either normal or excessive) and the kidneys lack of ability to process the urate and eliminate it from the body fast enough What the body cannot excrete it will store In the case of excess urate the body will attempt to store it in the joint spaces This will result in recurrent attacks of inflammation chronic arthropathy topaceous deposits and potentially uric acid nephrolithiasis
The cause of gout can be due to high uric acid levels (primary) or due to the result of another disease state medication or various other reasons such as dietary indiscretion (secondary) The majority of patients who experience gout will match the typical profile older obese male frequent alcohol intake hypertensive hyperlipidemic Patients who do not meet this profile may be misdiagnosed therefore be on the lookout for patients who may experience gouty arthritis related to medications or poor lifestyle choices Predisposing factors may include high consumption of meat seafood fatty or processed foods or alcohol Trauma surgery dehydration and some medications (diuretics aspirin) may also precipitate a gout attack
There are three clinical syndromes associated with gouty arthritis acute gouty arthritis intercritical gout (or interval gout) and chronic recurrent and tophaceous gout Acute gouty arthritis is characterized by severe pain redness and swelling which reach the maximum in 24 hours and dissipate after that usually completely resolving in a few days or a week As mentioned before the big toe is the typical site of involvement but any joint can be involved Lab tests performed during this period may be nonspecific for gout and uric acid levels maybe either high or low during an attack making the diagnosis difficult Aspiration of the joint space may produce urate crystals Once the acute period has subsided the patient is said to have entered the intercritical period which is the symptom free period between flares This is the time to draw uric acid levels and determine if the patient is an over producer or undereliminator of uric acid and to aspirate previously effected joints in the search for urate crystals Once the diagnosis of gouty arthritis has been made it is time to manage comorbid conditions eliminate the cause of hyperuricemia and initiate urate lowering medications Tophaceous deposits are the result of longer term untreated or undertreated gout high levels of serum urate diuretic use or treatment with cyclosporine Larger deposits of uric acid may be apparent by visual or tactile inspection or may be determined by radiography or MRI
Treatment for acute gout should be initiated as soon as gout flare symptoms are perceived by the patient Gout flares will resolve faster if treatment is initiated right away Because of this the patient and provider should discuss abortive therapies at the initial appointment and the patient should receive counseling on which therapies are appropriate to take immediately upon initiation of a flare Anti-inflammatory medications are the mainstay for treatment of an acute flare but may not be appropriate for all patients due to their renal and cardiovascular side effects Since time is of the essence when treating a gout flare over the counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications may be the medication of choice due to easy access Prescriptions for other medications should be filled as soon as received and kept on hand so therapy can be initiate as quickly as possible Colchicine glucocorticoids and interleukin inhibitors are other medications which may be appropriate to treat an acute gout flare
37
P A R A D I S E V I L L A G E N E W S
Once the initial flare has subsided and the diagnosis of gout has been made prevention strategies should be initiated These strategies include lifestyle modification management of comorbid disease states initiation of urate lowering therapies and prophylactic therapy Since weight loss and a healthy diet has been shown to decrease the risk for gout patients should be encouraged to choose a diet moderate in meat consumption and low in processed or fatty foods and alcohol If a medication is deemed to be the reason for gout every effort to choose an alternative medication should be made Urate lowering medications should be initiated to reduce recurrent attacks and bony formations as well as dissolve any tophi which may have formed Counsel the patient so that he or she understands that treatment for recurrent gout is continuous and lifelong Treatment options may include uricosuric agents which enhance uric acid excretion xanthine oxidase inhibitors which decrease urate formation and uricase enzymes which catalyze the conversion to allantoin a more soluble purine product The goal of therapy is to obtain and maintain a serum urate level of lt6 mgdL by slowly reducing the circulating urate by 1-2 mgdL per month If the patient fails to meet these goals check for adherence to the treatment and life style changes reevaluate the diagnosis or consider an alternative therapy
The keys to successful treatment of gout are proper hydration therapeutic life style changes adherence to treatment and the use of NSAIDS (colchicine or glucocorticoids) for quick resolution of an acute attack Treatment is lifelong but maintaining urate levels lt6 mgdL will result in tophi resolution over time and a reduction in acute attacks of gout As a result of following the treatment and lifestyle changes indicated above the patient may experience less frequent gout flares or may become free of flares all together leading to an improved quality of life

AND THEN IT WAS WINTER by Barb Prior
You knowhelliptime has a way of moving quickly and catching you
unaware of the passing years It seems just yesterday that I was young
just married and embarking on my new life Yet in a way it seems
like eons ago and I wonder where all the years went I know that I
have lived them all I have glimpses of how it was back then of all
my hopes and dreams But here it is the back nine of my life and it
catches me by surprise How did I get here so fast I remember seeing
older people through the years and thinking that those older people
were years away from me I was only on the first hole and the back
nine was so far off that I could not imagine what it would be like
But here it ismy friends are retired and getting grey They move
slower I remember when we were young and vibrant but like me
our age is beginning to show We are now those older folks
And so now I enter this new season of my life unprepared for all the
aches and pains the loss of strength and ability to do the things that I
wish I had done but never did Im now on the back nine of my life
and I dont know how long it will last
Yes I have regrets There are things I wish I hadnt donethings I
should have done but indeed there are many things Im happy to have
done Its all part of my lifetime
So if you are not yet on your back nine let me remind you it will be
here faster than you think Whatever you would like to accomplish in
your lifedo it Life goes by quickly
There are no promises that you will see all the seasons of your
life LIVE FOR TODAY
Tell your loved ones all the things you want them to remember and
hope they appreciate and love you for all the things you have done for
them through the years
Life is a gift The way you live your life is your gift to those who
come after Make it a fantastic one Its not what you gather but what
you scatter that tells what kind of life you have lived
Live well Enjoy today Be happy Health is the real wealth
Consider the following
Your kids are becoming you but your grandchildren are perfect
Going out is good coming home is better
You forget namesIts OK because other people forget the even knew
you
You realize yoursquore never going to be really good at any-
thingespecially golf
You sleep better in a lounge chair with the TV blaring than in bed
You miss the days when everything worked with just an ON and
OFF switch
You tend to use more four letter wordsWhat ldquoWhen
What used to be freckles are now liver spots
Everybody whispers
Old is good in some things Old songs Old movies Old friends
Stay well old friend Today is the oldest youve ever been yet the
youngest youll ever be So enjoy this day while it lasts

accompanied by plenty of laughter as some gifts can be quite hilarious Try to be original as it will
add to the fun

quite some time They wished to step down Vida Bowyer offered to coordinate events and Myrna

Angel Fingerprints by Barbara Ann Derksen (Paradise Resident)
Angels are a topic of conversation in many homes during the Christmas season We place them on Christmas tree tops and listen as children depicting angels in a Christmas pageant tell shepherds to go to Bethlehem to see the Savior
But do angels really exist Bob Kristensen was about to find out
The day was cool dry and sunny with a crisp feel to the air on this pre-Christmas day in 2001 Bob decided early that morning that he would cut some wood from a neighborrsquos yard She had a dead tree she wanted removed Bob had a hungry wood-eating furnace at home
Completing his regular work schedule early he headed towards the field tools in hand Bob a strong Christian had never encountered an angel knew little about their existence except what the Bible told him so spent very little time thinking about them at all Smiling with his mind on the task at hand and not on angels he slammed the door to his truck and headed toward the large tree
It leaned a little to the north As Bob stared up at it the forty or fifty foot height seemed to reach heaven He knew a good Maple when he saw one and with a girth of three feet Bob knew the tree had been there a long time It had been damaged during a storm so now this tree would feed his furnace for a month or more Bob swung his axe for the first cut
He expected since the tree was leaning north that it would fall in that direction so he notched the north side of the tree He moved around to the south side His chain saw cut into the old bark spewing sawdust in all directions Bob glanced at the top occasionally The tree swayed as he reached the center with his saw sharpened for just such a time as this Before he had time to react the tree fell not to the north as was expected but directly over the spot where he was standing Life did not have time to flash before his eyes as the huge trunk aimed for his head
As if in a flash he was laying on the ground about twelve feet from the base of that huge tree His left leg was underneath the tree where the trunk was bowed He wiggled his foot No pain He stood dusted himself off and checked for broken bones None As he looked again at the tree some men whorsquod been working nearby ran to his side With disbelief and amazement written all over their faces each one asked if he was okay several times
ldquoWhat happened Did any of you see what happenedrdquo Bob looked from one face to the other
The rougher much younger man scratched his head blinked a few times and then replied ldquoIt looked as if you were moving backward very fast but neither of your feet were touching the groundrdquo The man surmised there was a space of about two feet between Bobrsquos feet and the ground under them
That was when Bob began to think about angels really think about them for the first time He left the tree lying where it was and drove as fast as the law would allow toward home He felt giddy almost strange thinking could it be true Bobrsquos wife was not home when he got there and by this time even though he hadnrsquot felt anything hit him soreness began to make itself known in his left front shoulder He decided to investigate Pulling off his shirt he discovered a large bruise
The main part of the bruise was close to baseball size but the entire left side of his chest was swollen He shook his head The only souvenir of his encounter with a tree that probably weighed 3000 pounds was a big ugly bruise
Bob spoke about the incident with a friend later that evening As most of us want to do he began to logically explain his bruise as the remains of the treersquos encounter with his body His friend however posed a good question ldquoIf a three thousand pound tree fell on you and hit you on the chest how could you possibly have gotten out from under itrdquo Bob began to feel that giddy sense of the unknown again Maybe that bruise was from a heavenly hand after all

th
Bob decided to seek his pastorrsquos advice the next day after he saw the five smaller bruises four on the back of his shoulder and one beside the larger bruise
The Bible says that angels are created beings with high intelligencerdquo the pastor began ldquoThey have the abil-ity to make moral judgment but they are spiritual beings without physical bodies The Bible clearly says that there are angels who guard people although I am not convinced that there is necessarily a guardian angel assigned to each person The idea that people who die become angels is not biblical but more an inspira-tional idea and popularized in the movie industryrdquo
He went on to explain that in scripture angels are of a separate created order from mankind ldquoWhen human beings die those who go to heaven remain human beings Angels are created to serve the Lord and the Bible talks about them protecting man Psalm 9111 says For He will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways They will lift you up in their hands so you will not strike your foot against a stonerdquo
The Reverend went on to explain that there are angels like man who are fallen and that God through His Son has provided a redemption plan for man but not for angels
ldquoDo angels help some people but not othersrdquo Bob had a hard time accepting Godrsquos intervention in this situation
ldquoIt would appear so according to Gods higher purposerdquo the pastor answered
Bob went home His senses tingling he took another look at the bruises on his left shoulder Each of the smaller imprints looked like a bruise but was exactly the size of a fingerprint four on his back and one on the front of his shoulder just a little to the right of the large bruise noticed the day before He called his wife
ldquoJean place your hand over those bruisesrdquo He watched in the mirror as she stood in front of him When she placed her smaller palm over the large bruise her thumb and fingers almost fit the exact place where the other bruises lay Bob knew that his angel had moved him out of harmrsquos way He had the hand print to prove it
Bob walks daily with the knowledge that God cares specifically for those who love him He has not encountered another angel but he has experienced Godrsquos caring in other ways He also knows many who act as Godrsquos angels in human form and he hopes he has become one of them

Sarah was in the fertilized egg business She had several hundred young pullets and ten roosters to
fertilize the eggs She kept records and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was
replaced
This took a lot of time so she bought some tiny bells and attached them to her roosters Each bell
had a different tone so she could tell from a distance which rooster was performing Now she could
sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells
Sarahs favorite rooster old Butch was a very fine specimen but this morning she noticed old
Butchs bell hadnt rung at all When she went to investigate she saw the other roosters were busy
chasing pullets bells-a-ringing but the pullets hearing the roosters coming would run for cover
To Sarahs amazement old Butch had his bell in his beak so it couldnt ring Hed sneak up on a pul-
let do his job and walk on to the next one
Sarah was so proud of old Butch she entered him in a Show and he became an over-
night sensation among the judges
The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the No Bell Peace Prize they
also awarded him the Pulletsurprise as well
Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making Who else but a politician could figure
out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at
sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they werent paying
attention
We hope you voted carefully in the last election You cant always hear the bells

The Edmonton Eskimos are named for the Eskimo or Inuit of northern Canada While not located in the far north land of the Inuit the nickname Eskimos was likely adopted for the alliterative effect and as a reference to Edmontons northern location The original name was Esquimaux from 1897 to 1910 from the archaic French spelling Edmonton has faced some pressure in the past couple decades to change their team name most recently in 2011 and 2014 Edmonton has a long history of teams with the Eskimo name in hockey baseball and other sports

Gout
Gout a rheumatic disease which results from the deposition of uric acid crystals in tissues and fluids manifests as sudden severe attacks of pain The typical presentation of gout is tenderness and pain in the big toe but the patient may experience an atypical presentation where any joint can be affected Gout occurs as a result of urate production (either normal or excessive) and the kidneys lack of ability to process the urate and eliminate it from the body fast enough What the body cannot excrete it will store In the case of excess urate the body will attempt to store it in the joint spaces This will result in recurrent attacks of inflammation chronic arthropathy topaceous deposits and potentially uric acid nephrolithiasis
The cause of gout can be due to high uric acid levels (primary) or due to the result of another disease state medication or various other reasons such as dietary indiscretion (secondary) The majority of patients who experience gout will match the typical profile older obese male frequent alcohol intake hypertensive hyperlipidemic Patients who do not meet this profile may be misdiagnosed therefore be on the lookout for patients who may experience gouty arthritis related to medications or poor lifestyle choices Predisposing factors may include high consumption of meat seafood fatty or processed foods or alcohol Trauma surgery dehydration and some medications (diuretics aspirin) may also precipitate a gout attack
There are three clinical syndromes associated with gouty arthritis acute gouty arthritis intercritical gout (or interval gout) and chronic recurrent and tophaceous gout Acute gouty arthritis is characterized by severe pain redness and swelling which reach the maximum in 24 hours and dissipate after that usually completely resolving in a few days or a week As mentioned before the big toe is the typical site of involvement but any joint can be involved Lab tests performed during this period may be nonspecific for gout and uric acid levels maybe either high or low during an attack making the diagnosis difficult Aspiration of the joint space may produce urate crystals Once the acute period has subsided the patient is said to have entered the intercritical period which is the symptom free period between flares This is the time to draw uric acid levels and determine if the patient is an over producer or undereliminator of uric acid and to aspirate previously effected joints in the search for urate crystals Once the diagnosis of gouty arthritis has been made it is time to manage comorbid conditions eliminate the cause of hyperuricemia and initiate urate lowering medications Tophaceous deposits are the result of longer term untreated or undertreated gout high levels of serum urate diuretic use or treatment with cyclosporine Larger deposits of uric acid may be apparent by visual or tactile inspection or may be determined by radiography or MRI
Treatment for acute gout should be initiated as soon as gout flare symptoms are perceived by the patient Gout flares will resolve faster if treatment is initiated right away Because of this the patient and provider should discuss abortive therapies at the initial appointment and the patient should receive counseling on which therapies are appropriate to take immediately upon initiation of a flare Anti-inflammatory medications are the mainstay for treatment of an acute flare but may not be appropriate for all patients due to their renal and cardiovascular side effects Since time is of the essence when treating a gout flare over the counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications may be the medication of choice due to easy access Prescriptions for other medications should be filled as soon as received and kept on hand so therapy can be initiate as quickly as possible Colchicine glucocorticoids and interleukin inhibitors are other medications which may be appropriate to treat an acute gout flare

Once the initial flare has subsided and the diagnosis of gout has been made prevention strategies should be initiated These strategies include lifestyle modification management of comorbid disease states initiation of urate lowering therapies and prophylactic therapy Since weight loss and a healthy diet has been shown to decrease the risk for gout patients should be encouraged to choose a diet moderate in meat consumption and low in processed or fatty foods and alcohol If a medication is deemed to be the reason for gout every effort to choose an alternative medication should be made Urate lowering medications should be initiated to reduce recurrent attacks and bony formations as well as dissolve any tophi which may have formed Counsel the patient so that he or she understands that treatment for recurrent gout is continuous and lifelong Treatment options may include uricosuric agents which enhance uric acid excretion xanthine oxidase inhibitors which decrease urate formation and uricase enzymes which catalyze the conversion to allantoin a more soluble purine product The goal of therapy is to obtain and maintain a serum urate level of lt6 mgdL by slowly reducing the circulating urate by 1-2 mgdL per month If the patient fails to meet these goals check for adherence to the treatment and life style changes reevaluate the diagnosis or consider an alternative therapy
The keys to successful treatment of gout are proper hydration therapeutic life style changes adherence to treatment and the use of NSAIDS (colchicine or glucocorticoids) for quick resolution of an acute attack Treatment is lifelong but maintaining urate levels lt6 mgdL will result in tophi resolution over time and a reduction in acute attacks of gout As a result of following the treatment and lifestyle changes indicated above the patient may experience less frequent gout flares or may become free of flares all together leading to an improved quality of life

AND THEN IT WAS WINTER by Barb Prior
You knowhelliptime has a way of moving quickly and catching you
unaware of the passing years It seems just yesterday that I was young
just married and embarking on my new life Yet in a way it seems
like eons ago and I wonder where all the years went I know that I
have lived them all I have glimpses of how it was back then of all
my hopes and dreams But here it is the back nine of my life and it
catches me by surprise How did I get here so fast I remember seeing
older people through the years and thinking that those older people
were years away from me I was only on the first hole and the back
nine was so far off that I could not imagine what it would be like
But here it ismy friends are retired and getting grey They move
slower I remember when we were young and vibrant but like me
our age is beginning to show We are now those older folks
And so now I enter this new season of my life unprepared for all the
aches and pains the loss of strength and ability to do the things that I
wish I had done but never did Im now on the back nine of my life
and I dont know how long it will last
Yes I have regrets There are things I wish I hadnt donethings I
should have done but indeed there are many things Im happy to have
done Its all part of my lifetime
So if you are not yet on your back nine let me remind you it will be
here faster than you think Whatever you would like to accomplish in
your lifedo it Life goes by quickly
There are no promises that you will see all the seasons of your
life LIVE FOR TODAY
Tell your loved ones all the things you want them to remember and
hope they appreciate and love you for all the things you have done for
them through the years
Life is a gift The way you live your life is your gift to those who
come after Make it a fantastic one Its not what you gather but what
you scatter that tells what kind of life you have lived
Live well Enjoy today Be happy Health is the real wealth
Consider the following
Your kids are becoming you but your grandchildren are perfect
Going out is good coming home is better
You forget namesIts OK because other people forget the even knew
you
You realize yoursquore never going to be really good at any-
thingespecially golf
You sleep better in a lounge chair with the TV blaring than in bed
You miss the days when everything worked with just an ON and
OFF switch
You tend to use more four letter wordsWhat ldquoWhen
What used to be freckles are now liver spots
Everybody whispers
Old is good in some things Old songs Old movies Old friends
Stay well old friend Today is the oldest youve ever been yet the
youngest youll ever be So enjoy this day while it lasts

Angel Fingerprints by Barbara Ann Derksen (Paradise Resident)
Angels are a topic of conversation in many homes during the Christmas season We place them on Christmas tree tops and listen as children depicting angels in a Christmas pageant tell shepherds to go to Bethlehem to see the Savior
But do angels really exist Bob Kristensen was about to find out
The day was cool dry and sunny with a crisp feel to the air on this pre-Christmas day in 2001 Bob decided early that morning that he would cut some wood from a neighborrsquos yard She had a dead tree she wanted removed Bob had a hungry wood-eating furnace at home
Completing his regular work schedule early he headed towards the field tools in hand Bob a strong Christian had never encountered an angel knew little about their existence except what the Bible told him so spent very little time thinking about them at all Smiling with his mind on the task at hand and not on angels he slammed the door to his truck and headed toward the large tree
It leaned a little to the north As Bob stared up at it the forty or fifty foot height seemed to reach heaven He knew a good Maple when he saw one and with a girth of three feet Bob knew the tree had been there a long time It had been damaged during a storm so now this tree would feed his furnace for a month or more Bob swung his axe for the first cut
He expected since the tree was leaning north that it would fall in that direction so he notched the north side of the tree He moved around to the south side His chain saw cut into the old bark spewing sawdust in all directions Bob glanced at the top occasionally The tree swayed as he reached the center with his saw sharpened for just such a time as this Before he had time to react the tree fell not to the north as was expected but directly over the spot where he was standing Life did not have time to flash before his eyes as the huge trunk aimed for his head
As if in a flash he was laying on the ground about twelve feet from the base of that huge tree His left leg was underneath the tree where the trunk was bowed He wiggled his foot No pain He stood dusted himself off and checked for broken bones None As he looked again at the tree some men whorsquod been working nearby ran to his side With disbelief and amazement written all over their faces each one asked if he was okay several times
ldquoWhat happened Did any of you see what happenedrdquo Bob looked from one face to the other
The rougher much younger man scratched his head blinked a few times and then replied ldquoIt looked as if you were moving backward very fast but neither of your feet were touching the groundrdquo The man surmised there was a space of about two feet between Bobrsquos feet and the ground under them
That was when Bob began to think about angels really think about them for the first time He left the tree lying where it was and drove as fast as the law would allow toward home He felt giddy almost strange thinking could it be true Bobrsquos wife was not home when he got there and by this time even though he hadnrsquot felt anything hit him soreness began to make itself known in his left front shoulder He decided to investigate Pulling off his shirt he discovered a large bruise
The main part of the bruise was close to baseball size but the entire left side of his chest was swollen He shook his head The only souvenir of his encounter with a tree that probably weighed 3000 pounds was a big ugly bruise
Bob spoke about the incident with a friend later that evening As most of us want to do he began to logically explain his bruise as the remains of the treersquos encounter with his body His friend however posed a good question ldquoIf a three thousand pound tree fell on you and hit you on the chest how could you possibly have gotten out from under itrdquo Bob began to feel that giddy sense of the unknown again Maybe that bruise was from a heavenly hand after all

th
Bob decided to seek his pastorrsquos advice the next day after he saw the five smaller bruises four on the back of his shoulder and one beside the larger bruise
The Bible says that angels are created beings with high intelligencerdquo the pastor began ldquoThey have the abil-ity to make moral judgment but they are spiritual beings without physical bodies The Bible clearly says that there are angels who guard people although I am not convinced that there is necessarily a guardian angel assigned to each person The idea that people who die become angels is not biblical but more an inspira-tional idea and popularized in the movie industryrdquo
He went on to explain that in scripture angels are of a separate created order from mankind ldquoWhen human beings die those who go to heaven remain human beings Angels are created to serve the Lord and the Bible talks about them protecting man Psalm 9111 says For He will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways They will lift you up in their hands so you will not strike your foot against a stonerdquo
The Reverend went on to explain that there are angels like man who are fallen and that God through His Son has provided a redemption plan for man but not for angels
ldquoDo angels help some people but not othersrdquo Bob had a hard time accepting Godrsquos intervention in this situation
ldquoIt would appear so according to Gods higher purposerdquo the pastor answered
Bob went home His senses tingling he took another look at the bruises on his left shoulder Each of the smaller imprints looked like a bruise but was exactly the size of a fingerprint four on his back and one on the front of his shoulder just a little to the right of the large bruise noticed the day before He called his wife
ldquoJean place your hand over those bruisesrdquo He watched in the mirror as she stood in front of him When she placed her smaller palm over the large bruise her thumb and fingers almost fit the exact place where the other bruises lay Bob knew that his angel had moved him out of harmrsquos way He had the hand print to prove it
Bob walks daily with the knowledge that God cares specifically for those who love him He has not encountered another angel but he has experienced Godrsquos caring in other ways He also knows many who act as Godrsquos angels in human form and he hopes he has become one of them

Paul amp Linda Ratte - 11 Nature Drive - moved to Paradise Village from Transcona on October 23 2015 When I
went to visit them they were still trying to get settled in and found they hadnt downsized nearly enough That seems
to be problematic with a lot of us They have been looking for years for a place to retire to and found Paradise Vil-
lage to be exactly what they were looking for They like the countryside the peace and friendliness and enjoy their
own private home garden and yard We talked about all the activities and events held at the Rec Centre and Paul
said thats another thing that attracted them to Paradise Village - the Pool and the Rec Centre Paul is still actively
employed as an electrician for Freshwater Fish but can hardly wait until he retires next year Linda did odd jobs
throughout her life but was basically a stay-at-home mom They have 3 children and 9 grandchildren so did a fair
amount of babysitting which she treasured Lindas interests are bird watching cooking gardening and playing
bingo Paul plays hockey is a backyard mechanic and a jack-of-all trades kind of a guyHad a most enjoyable visit
with Paul and Linda and encouraged them to come out to some of the activities where they will be able to meet other
residents in our beautiful Paradise Village

Sarah was in the fertilized egg business She had several hundred young pullets and ten roosters to
fertilize the eggs She kept records and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was
replaced
This took a lot of time so she bought some tiny bells and attached them to her roosters Each bell
had a different tone so she could tell from a distance which rooster was performing Now she could
sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells
Sarahs favorite rooster old Butch was a very fine specimen but this morning she noticed old
Butchs bell hadnt rung at all When she went to investigate she saw the other roosters were busy
chasing pullets bells-a-ringing but the pullets hearing the roosters coming would run for cover
To Sarahs amazement old Butch had his bell in his beak so it couldnt ring Hed sneak up on a pul-
let do his job and walk on to the next one
Sarah was so proud of old Butch she entered him in a Show and he became an over-
night sensation among the judges
The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the No Bell Peace Prize they
also awarded him the Pulletsurprise as well
Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making Who else but a politician could figure
out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at
sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they werent paying
attention
We hope you voted carefully in the last election You cant always hear the bells

ldquoREDBLACKS represents Ottawas sports history and pays tribute to the Ottawa men and women who serve our country From the original Rough Riders in the 1890s to the modern Ottawa Senators Hockey Club red and black are the colours of Ottawa sport
The Edmonton Eskimos are named for the Eskimo or Inuit of northern Canada While not located in the far north land of the Inuit the nickname Eskimos was likely adopted for the alliterative effect and as a reference to Edmontons northern location The original name was Esquimaux from 1897 to 1910 from the archaic French spelling Edmonton has faced some pressure in the past couple decades to change their team name most recently in 2011 and 2014 Edmonton has a long history of teams with the Eskimo name in hockey baseball and other sports

Gout
Gout a rheumatic disease which results from the deposition of uric acid crystals in tissues and fluids manifests as sudden severe attacks of pain The typical presentation of gout is tenderness and pain in the big toe but the patient may experience an atypical presentation where any joint can be affected Gout occurs as a result of urate production (either normal or excessive) and the kidneys lack of ability to process the urate and eliminate it from the body fast enough What the body cannot excrete it will store In the case of excess urate the body will attempt to store it in the joint spaces This will result in recurrent attacks of inflammation chronic arthropathy topaceous deposits and potentially uric acid nephrolithiasis
The cause of gout can be due to high uric acid levels (primary) or due to the result of another disease state medication or various other reasons such as dietary indiscretion (secondary) The majority of patients who experience gout will match the typical profile older obese male frequent alcohol intake hypertensive hyperlipidemic Patients who do not meet this profile may be misdiagnosed therefore be on the lookout for patients who may experience gouty arthritis related to medications or poor lifestyle choices Predisposing factors may include high consumption of meat seafood fatty or processed foods or alcohol Trauma surgery dehydration and some medications (diuretics aspirin) may also precipitate a gout attack
There are three clinical syndromes associated with gouty arthritis acute gouty arthritis intercritical gout (or interval gout) and chronic recurrent and tophaceous gout Acute gouty arthritis is characterized by severe pain redness and swelling which reach the maximum in 24 hours and dissipate after that usually completely resolving in a few days or a week As mentioned before the big toe is the typical site of involvement but any joint can be involved Lab tests performed during this period may be nonspecific for gout and uric acid levels maybe either high or low during an attack making the diagnosis difficult Aspiration of the joint space may produce urate crystals Once the acute period has subsided the patient is said to have entered the intercritical period which is the symptom free period between flares This is the time to draw uric acid levels and determine if the patient is an over producer or undereliminator of uric acid and to aspirate previously effected joints in the search for urate crystals Once the diagnosis of gouty arthritis has been made it is time to manage comorbid conditions eliminate the cause of hyperuricemia and initiate urate lowering medications Tophaceous deposits are the result of longer term untreated or undertreated gout high levels of serum urate diuretic use or treatment with cyclosporine Larger deposits of uric acid may be apparent by visual or tactile inspection or may be determined by radiography or MRI
Treatment for acute gout should be initiated as soon as gout flare symptoms are perceived by the patient Gout flares will resolve faster if treatment is initiated right away Because of this the patient and provider should discuss abortive therapies at the initial appointment and the patient should receive counseling on which therapies are appropriate to take immediately upon initiation of a flare Anti-inflammatory medications are the mainstay for treatment of an acute flare but may not be appropriate for all patients due to their renal and cardiovascular side effects Since time is of the essence when treating a gout flare over the counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications may be the medication of choice due to easy access Prescriptions for other medications should be filled as soon as received and kept on hand so therapy can be initiate as quickly as possible Colchicine glucocorticoids and interleukin inhibitors are other medications which may be appropriate to treat an acute gout flare
37
P A R A D I S E V I L L A G E N E W S
Once the initial flare has subsided and the diagnosis of gout has been made prevention strategies should be initiated These strategies include lifestyle modification management of comorbid disease states initiation of urate lowering therapies and prophylactic therapy Since weight loss and a healthy diet has been shown to decrease the risk for gout patients should be encouraged to choose a diet moderate in meat consumption and low in processed or fatty foods and alcohol If a medication is deemed to be the reason for gout every effort to choose an alternative medication should be made Urate lowering medications should be initiated to reduce recurrent attacks and bony formations as well as dissolve any tophi which may have formed Counsel the patient so that he or she understands that treatment for recurrent gout is continuous and lifelong Treatment options may include uricosuric agents which enhance uric acid excretion xanthine oxidase inhibitors which decrease urate formation and uricase enzymes which catalyze the conversion to allantoin a more soluble purine product The goal of therapy is to obtain and maintain a serum urate level of lt6 mgdL by slowly reducing the circulating urate by 1-2 mgdL per month If the patient fails to meet these goals check for adherence to the treatment and life style changes reevaluate the diagnosis or consider an alternative therapy
The keys to successful treatment of gout are proper hydration therapeutic life style changes adherence to treatment and the use of NSAIDS (colchicine or glucocorticoids) for quick resolution of an acute attack Treatment is lifelong but maintaining urate levels lt6 mgdL will result in tophi resolution over time and a reduction in acute attacks of gout As a result of following the treatment and lifestyle changes indicated above the patient may experience less frequent gout flares or may become free of flares all together leading to an improved quality of life

AND THEN IT WAS WINTER by Barb Prior
You knowhelliptime has a way of moving quickly and catching you
unaware of the passing years It seems just yesterday that I was young
just married and embarking on my new life Yet in a way it seems
like eons ago and I wonder where all the years went I know that I
have lived them all I have glimpses of how it was back then of all
my hopes and dreams But here it is the back nine of my life and it
catches me by surprise How did I get here so fast I remember seeing
older people through the years and thinking that those older people
were years away from me I was only on the first hole and the back
nine was so far off that I could not imagine what it would be like
But here it ismy friends are retired and getting grey They move
slower I remember when we were young and vibrant but like me
our age is beginning to show We are now those older folks
And so now I enter this new season of my life unprepared for all the
aches and pains the loss of strength and ability to do the things that I
wish I had done but never did Im now on the back nine of my life
and I dont know how long it will last
Yes I have regrets There are things I wish I hadnt donethings I
should have done but indeed there are many things Im happy to have
done Its all part of my lifetime
So if you are not yet on your back nine let me remind you it will be
here faster than you think Whatever you would like to accomplish in
your lifedo it Life goes by quickly
There are no promises that you will see all the seasons of your
life LIVE FOR TODAY
Tell your loved ones all the things you want them to remember and
hope they appreciate and love you for all the things you have done for
them through the years
Life is a gift The way you live your life is your gift to those who
come after Make it a fantastic one Its not what you gather but what
you scatter that tells what kind of life you have lived
Live well Enjoy today Be happy Health is the real wealth
Consider the following
Your kids are becoming you but your grandchildren are perfect
Going out is good coming home is better
You forget namesIts OK because other people forget the even knew
you
You realize yoursquore never going to be really good at any-
thingespecially golf
You sleep better in a lounge chair with the TV blaring than in bed
You miss the days when everything worked with just an ON and
OFF switch
You tend to use more four letter wordsWhat ldquoWhen
What used to be freckles are now liver spots
Everybody whispers
Old is good in some things Old songs Old movies Old friends
Stay well old friend Today is the oldest youve ever been yet the
youngest youll ever be So enjoy this day while it lasts

Angel Fingerprints by Barbara Ann Derksen (Paradise Resident)
Angels are a topic of conversation in many homes during the Christmas season We place them on Christmas tree tops and listen as children depicting angels in a Christmas pageant tell shepherds to go to Bethlehem to see the Savior
But do angels really exist Bob Kristensen was about to find out
The day was cool dry and sunny with a crisp feel to the air on this pre-Christmas day in 2001 Bob decided early that morning that he would cut some wood from a neighborrsquos yard She had a dead tree she wanted removed Bob had a hungry wood-eating furnace at home
Completing his regular work schedule early he headed towards the field tools in hand Bob a strong Christian had never encountered an angel knew little about their existence except what the Bible told him so spent very little time thinking about them at all Smiling with his mind on the task at hand and not on angels he slammed the door to his truck and headed toward the large tree
It leaned a little to the north As Bob stared up at it the forty or fifty foot height seemed to reach heaven He knew a good Maple when he saw one and with a girth of three feet Bob knew the tree had been there a long time It had been damaged during a storm so now this tree would feed his furnace for a month or more Bob swung his axe for the first cut
He expected since the tree was leaning north that it would fall in that direction so he notched the north side of the tree He moved around to the south side His chain saw cut into the old bark spewing sawdust in all directions Bob glanced at the top occasionally The tree swayed as he reached the center with his saw sharpened for just such a time as this Before he had time to react the tree fell not to the north as was expected but directly over the spot where he was standing Life did not have time to flash before his eyes as the huge trunk aimed for his head
As if in a flash he was laying on the ground about twelve feet from the base of that huge tree His left leg was underneath the tree where the trunk was bowed He wiggled his foot No pain He stood dusted himself off and checked for broken bones None As he looked again at the tree some men whorsquod been working nearby ran to his side With disbelief and amazement written all over their faces each one asked if he was okay several times
ldquoWhat happened Did any of you see what happenedrdquo Bob looked from one face to the other
The rougher much younger man scratched his head blinked a few times and then replied ldquoIt looked as if you were moving backward very fast but neither of your feet were touching the groundrdquo The man surmised there was a space of about two feet between Bobrsquos feet and the ground under them
That was when Bob began to think about angels really think about them for the first time He left the tree lying where it was and drove as fast as the law would allow toward home He felt giddy almost strange thinking could it be true Bobrsquos wife was not home when he got there and by this time even though he hadnrsquot felt anything hit him soreness began to make itself known in his left front shoulder He decided to investigate Pulling off his shirt he discovered a large bruise
The main part of the bruise was close to baseball size but the entire left side of his chest was swollen He shook his head The only souvenir of his encounter with a tree that probably weighed 3000 pounds was a big ugly bruise
Bob spoke about the incident with a friend later that evening As most of us want to do he began to logically explain his bruise as the remains of the treersquos encounter with his body His friend however posed a good question ldquoIf a three thousand pound tree fell on you and hit you on the chest how could you possibly have gotten out from under itrdquo Bob began to feel that giddy sense of the unknown again Maybe that bruise was from a heavenly hand after all

Bob decided to seek his pastorrsquos advice the next day after he saw the five smaller bruises four on the back of his shoulder and one beside the larger bruise
The Bible says that angels are created beings with high intelligencerdquo the pastor began ldquoThey have the abil-ity to make moral judgment but they are spiritual beings without physical bodies The Bible clearly says that there are angels who guard people although I am not convinced that there is necessarily a guardian angel assigned to each person The idea that people who die become angels is not biblical but more an inspira-tional idea and popularized in the movie industryrdquo
He went on to explain that in scripture angels are of a separate created order from mankind ldquoWhen human beings die those who go to heaven remain human beings Angels are created to serve the Lord and the Bible talks about them protecting man Psalm 9111 says For He will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways They will lift you up in their hands so you will not strike your foot against a stonerdquo
The Reverend went on to explain that there are angels like man who are fallen and that God through His Son has provided a redemption plan for man but not for angels
ldquoDo angels help some people but not othersrdquo Bob had a hard time accepting Godrsquos intervention in this situation
ldquoIt would appear so according to Gods higher purposerdquo the pastor answered
Bob went home His senses tingling he took another look at the bruises on his left shoulder Each of the smaller imprints looked like a bruise but was exactly the size of a fingerprint four on his back and one on the front of his shoulder just a little to the right of the large bruise noticed the day before He called his wife
ldquoJean place your hand over those bruisesrdquo He watched in the mirror as she stood in front of him When she placed her smaller palm over the large bruise her thumb and fingers almost fit the exact place where the other bruises lay Bob knew that his angel had moved him out of harmrsquos way He had the hand print to prove it
Bob walks daily with the knowledge that God cares specifically for those who love him He has not encountered another angel but he has experienced Godrsquos caring in other ways He also knows many who act as Godrsquos angels in human form and he hopes he has become one of them

went to visit them they were still trying to get settled in and found they hadnt downsized nearly enough That seems
to be problematic with a lot of us They have been looking for years for a place to retire to and found Paradise Vil-
lage to be exactly what they were looking for They like the countryside the peace and friendliness and enjoy their
own private home garden and yard We talked about all the activities and events held at the Rec Centre and Paul
said thats another thing that attracted them to Paradise Village - the Pool and the Rec Centre Paul is still actively
employed as an electrician for Freshwater Fish but can hardly wait until he retires next year Linda did odd jobs
throughout her life but was basically a stay-at-home mom They have 3 children and 9 grandchildren so did a fair
amount of babysitting which she treasured Lindas interests are bird watching cooking gardening and playing
bingo Paul plays hockey is a backyard mechanic and a jack-of-all trades kind of a guyHad a most enjoyable visit
with Paul and Linda and encouraged them to come out to some of the activities where they will be able to meet other

Sarah was in the fertilized egg business She had several hundred young pullets and ten roosters to
fertilize the eggs She kept records and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was
replaced
This took a lot of time so she bought some tiny bells and attached them to her roosters Each bell
had a different tone so she could tell from a distance which rooster was performing Now she could
sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells
Sarahs favorite rooster old Butch was a very fine specimen but this morning she noticed old
Butchs bell hadnt rung at all When she went to investigate she saw the other roosters were busy
chasing pullets bells-a-ringing but the pullets hearing the roosters coming would run for cover
To Sarahs amazement old Butch had his bell in his beak so it couldnt ring Hed sneak up on a pul-
let do his job and walk on to the next one
Sarah was so proud of old Butch she entered him in a Show and he became an over-
night sensation among the judges
The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the No Bell Peace Prize they
also awarded him the Pulletsurprise as well
Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making Who else but a politician could figure
out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at
sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they werent paying
attention
We hope you voted carefully in the last election You cant always hear the bells

The Edmonton Eskimos are named for the Eskimo or Inuit of northern Canada While not located in the far north land of the Inuit the nickname Eskimos was likely adopted for the alliterative effect and as a reference to Edmontons northern location The original name was Esquimaux from 1897 to 1910 from the archaic French spelling Edmonton has faced some pressure in the past couple decades to change their team name most recently in 2011 and 2014 Edmonton has a long history of teams with the Eskimo name in hockey baseball and other sports

Gout
Gout a rheumatic disease which results from the deposition of uric acid crystals in tissues and fluids manifests as sudden severe attacks of pain The typical presentation of gout is tenderness and pain in the big toe but the patient may experience an atypical presentation where any joint can be affected Gout occurs as a result of urate production (either normal or excessive) and the kidneys lack of ability to process the urate and eliminate it from the body fast enough What the body cannot excrete it will store In the case of excess urate the body will attempt to store it in the joint spaces This will result in recurrent attacks of inflammation chronic arthropathy topaceous deposits and potentially uric acid nephrolithiasis
The cause of gout can be due to high uric acid levels (primary) or due to the result of another disease state medication or various other reasons such as dietary indiscretion (secondary) The majority of patients who experience gout will match the typical profile older obese male frequent alcohol intake hypertensive hyperlipidemic Patients who do not meet this profile may be misdiagnosed therefore be on the lookout for patients who may experience gouty arthritis related to medications or poor lifestyle choices Predisposing factors may include high consumption of meat seafood fatty or processed foods or alcohol Trauma surgery dehydration and some medications (diuretics aspirin) may also precipitate a gout attack
There are three clinical syndromes associated with gouty arthritis acute gouty arthritis intercritical gout (or interval gout) and chronic recurrent and tophaceous gout Acute gouty arthritis is characterized by severe pain redness and swelling which reach the maximum in 24 hours and dissipate after that usually completely resolving in a few days or a week As mentioned before the big toe is the typical site of involvement but any joint can be involved Lab tests performed during this period may be nonspecific for gout and uric acid levels maybe either high or low during an attack making the diagnosis difficult Aspiration of the joint space may produce urate crystals Once the acute period has subsided the patient is said to have entered the intercritical period which is the symptom free period between flares This is the time to draw uric acid levels and determine if the patient is an over producer or undereliminator of uric acid and to aspirate previously effected joints in the search for urate crystals Once the diagnosis of gouty arthritis has been made it is time to manage comorbid conditions eliminate the cause of hyperuricemia and initiate urate lowering medications Tophaceous deposits are the result of longer term untreated or undertreated gout high levels of serum urate diuretic use or treatment with cyclosporine Larger deposits of uric acid may be apparent by visual or tactile inspection or may be determined by radiography or MRI
Treatment for acute gout should be initiated as soon as gout flare symptoms are perceived by the patient Gout flares will resolve faster if treatment is initiated right away Because of this the patient and provider should discuss abortive therapies at the initial appointment and the patient should receive counseling on which therapies are appropriate to take immediately upon initiation of a flare Anti-inflammatory medications are the mainstay for treatment of an acute flare but may not be appropriate for all patients due to their renal and cardiovascular side effects Since time is of the essence when treating a gout flare over the counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications may be the medication of choice due to easy access Prescriptions for other medications should be filled as soon as received and kept on hand so therapy can be initiate as quickly as possible Colchicine glucocorticoids and interleukin inhibitors are other medications which may be appropriate to treat an acute gout flare
37
P A R A D I S E V I L L A G E N E W S
Once the initial flare has subsided and the diagnosis of gout has been made prevention strategies should be initiated These strategies include lifestyle modification management of comorbid disease states initiation of urate lowering therapies and prophylactic therapy Since weight loss and a healthy diet has been shown to decrease the risk for gout patients should be encouraged to choose a diet moderate in meat consumption and low in processed or fatty foods and alcohol If a medication is deemed to be the reason for gout every effort to choose an alternative medication should be made Urate lowering medications should be initiated to reduce recurrent attacks and bony formations as well as dissolve any tophi which may have formed Counsel the patient so that he or she understands that treatment for recurrent gout is continuous and lifelong Treatment options may include uricosuric agents which enhance uric acid excretion xanthine oxidase inhibitors which decrease urate formation and uricase enzymes which catalyze the conversion to allantoin a more soluble purine product The goal of therapy is to obtain and maintain a serum urate level of lt6 mgdL by slowly reducing the circulating urate by 1-2 mgdL per month If the patient fails to meet these goals check for adherence to the treatment and life style changes reevaluate the diagnosis or consider an alternative therapy
The keys to successful treatment of gout are proper hydration therapeutic life style changes adherence to treatment and the use of NSAIDS (colchicine or glucocorticoids) for quick resolution of an acute attack Treatment is lifelong but maintaining urate levels lt6 mgdL will result in tophi resolution over time and a reduction in acute attacks of gout As a result of following the treatment and lifestyle changes indicated above the patient may experience less frequent gout flares or may become free of flares all together leading to an improved quality of life

AND THEN IT WAS WINTER by Barb Prior
You knowhelliptime has a way of moving quickly and catching you
unaware of the passing years It seems just yesterday that I was young
just married and embarking on my new life Yet in a way it seems
like eons ago and I wonder where all the years went I know that I
have lived them all I have glimpses of how it was back then of all
my hopes and dreams But here it is the back nine of my life and it
catches me by surprise How did I get here so fast I remember seeing
older people through the years and thinking that those older people
were years away from me I was only on the first hole and the back
nine was so far off that I could not imagine what it would be like
But here it ismy friends are retired and getting grey They move
slower I remember when we were young and vibrant but like me
our age is beginning to show We are now those older folks
And so now I enter this new season of my life unprepared for all the
aches and pains the loss of strength and ability to do the things that I
wish I had done but never did Im now on the back nine of my life
and I dont know how long it will last
Yes I have regrets There are things I wish I hadnt donethings I
should have done but indeed there are many things Im happy to have
done Its all part of my lifetime
So if you are not yet on your back nine let me remind you it will be
here faster than you think Whatever you would like to accomplish in
your lifedo it Life goes by quickly
There are no promises that you will see all the seasons of your
life LIVE FOR TODAY
Tell your loved ones all the things you want them to remember and
hope they appreciate and love you for all the things you have done for
them through the years
Life is a gift The way you live your life is your gift to those who
come after Make it a fantastic one Its not what you gather but what
you scatter that tells what kind of life you have lived
Live well Enjoy today Be happy Health is the real wealth
Consider the following
Your kids are becoming you but your grandchildren are perfect
Going out is good coming home is better
You forget namesIts OK because other people forget the even knew
you
You realize yoursquore never going to be really good at any-
thingespecially golf
You sleep better in a lounge chair with the TV blaring than in bed
You miss the days when everything worked with just an ON and
OFF switch
You tend to use more four letter wordsWhat ldquoWhen
What used to be freckles are now liver spots
Everybody whispers
Old is good in some things Old songs Old movies Old friends
Stay well old friend Today is the oldest youve ever been yet the
youngest youll ever be So enjoy this day while it lasts

Angel Fingerprints by Barbara Ann Derksen (Paradise Resident)
Angels are a topic of conversation in many homes during the Christmas season We place them on Christmas tree tops and listen as children depicting angels in a Christmas pageant tell shepherds to go to Bethlehem to see the Savior
But do angels really exist Bob Kristensen was about to find out
The day was cool dry and sunny with a crisp feel to the air on this pre-Christmas day in 2001 Bob decided early that morning that he would cut some wood from a neighborrsquos yard She had a dead tree she wanted removed Bob had a hungry wood-eating furnace at home
Completing his regular work schedule early he headed towards the field tools in hand Bob a strong Christian had never encountered an angel knew little about their existence except what the Bible told him so spent very little time thinking about them at all Smiling with his mind on the task at hand and not on angels he slammed the door to his truck and headed toward the large tree
It leaned a little to the north As Bob stared up at it the forty or fifty foot height seemed to reach heaven He knew a good Maple when he saw one and with a girth of three feet Bob knew the tree had been there a long time It had been damaged during a storm so now this tree would feed his furnace for a month or more Bob swung his axe for the first cut
He expected since the tree was leaning north that it would fall in that direction so he notched the north side of the tree He moved around to the south side His chain saw cut into the old bark spewing sawdust in all directions Bob glanced at the top occasionally The tree swayed as he reached the center with his saw sharpened for just such a time as this Before he had time to react the tree fell not to the north as was expected but directly over the spot where he was standing Life did not have time to flash before his eyes as the huge trunk aimed for his head
As if in a flash he was laying on the ground about twelve feet from the base of that huge tree His left leg was underneath the tree where the trunk was bowed He wiggled his foot No pain He stood dusted himself off and checked for broken bones None As he looked again at the tree some men whorsquod been working nearby ran to his side With disbelief and amazement written all over their faces each one asked if he was okay several times
ldquoWhat happened Did any of you see what happenedrdquo Bob looked from one face to the other
The rougher much younger man scratched his head blinked a few times and then replied ldquoIt looked as if you were moving backward very fast but neither of your feet were touching the groundrdquo The man surmised there was a space of about two feet between Bobrsquos feet and the ground under them
That was when Bob began to think about angels really think about them for the first time He left the tree lying where it was and drove as fast as the law would allow toward home He felt giddy almost strange thinking could it be true Bobrsquos wife was not home when he got there and by this time even though he hadnrsquot felt anything hit him soreness began to make itself known in his left front shoulder He decided to investigate Pulling off his shirt he discovered a large bruise
The main part of the bruise was close to baseball size but the entire left side of his chest was swollen He shook his head The only souvenir of his encounter with a tree that probably weighed 3000 pounds was a big ugly bruise
Bob spoke about the incident with a friend later that evening As most of us want to do he began to logically explain his bruise as the remains of the treersquos encounter with his body His friend however posed a good question ldquoIf a three thousand pound tree fell on you and hit you on the chest how could you possibly have gotten out from under itrdquo Bob began to feel that giddy sense of the unknown again Maybe that bruise was from a heavenly hand after all

th
Bob decided to seek his pastorrsquos advice the next day after he saw the five smaller bruises four on the back of his shoulder and one beside the larger bruise
The Bible says that angels are created beings with high intelligencerdquo the pastor began ldquoThey have the abil-ity to make moral judgment but they are spiritual beings without physical bodies The Bible clearly says that there are angels who guard people although I am not convinced that there is necessarily a guardian angel assigned to each person The idea that people who die become angels is not biblical but more an inspira-tional idea and popularized in the movie industryrdquo
He went on to explain that in scripture angels are of a separate created order from mankind ldquoWhen human beings die those who go to heaven remain human beings Angels are created to serve the Lord and the Bible talks about them protecting man Psalm 9111 says For He will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways They will lift you up in their hands so you will not strike your foot against a stonerdquo
The Reverend went on to explain that there are angels like man who are fallen and that God through His Son has provided a redemption plan for man but not for angels
ldquoDo angels help some people but not othersrdquo Bob had a hard time accepting Godrsquos intervention in this situation
ldquoIt would appear so according to Gods higher purposerdquo the pastor answered
Bob went home His senses tingling he took another look at the bruises on his left shoulder Each of the smaller imprints looked like a bruise but was exactly the size of a fingerprint four on his back and one on the front of his shoulder just a little to the right of the large bruise noticed the day before He called his wife
ldquoJean place your hand over those bruisesrdquo He watched in the mirror as she stood in front of him When she placed her smaller palm over the large bruise her thumb and fingers almost fit the exact place where the other bruises lay Bob knew that his angel had moved him out of harmrsquos way He had the hand print to prove it
Bob walks daily with the knowledge that God cares specifically for those who love him He has not encountered another angel but he has experienced Godrsquos caring in other ways He also knows many who act as Godrsquos angels in human form and he hopes he has become one of them

lage to be exactly what they were looking for They like the countryside the peace and friendliness and enjoy their
own private home garden and yard We talked about all the activities and events held at the Rec Centre and Paul
said thats another thing that attracted them to Paradise Village - the Pool and the Rec Centre Paul is still actively
employed as an electrician for Freshwater Fish but can hardly wait until he retires next year Linda did odd jobs
throughout her life but was basically a stay-at-home mom They have 3 children and 9 grandchildren so did a fair
amount of babysitting which she treasured Lindas interests are bird watching cooking gardening and playing
bingo Paul plays hockey is a backyard mechanic and a jack-of-all trades kind of a guyHad a most enjoyable visit
with Paul and Linda and encouraged them to come out to some of the activities where they will be able to meet other

Sarah was in the fertilized egg business She had several hundred young pullets and ten roosters to
fertilize the eggs She kept records and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was
replaced
This took a lot of time so she bought some tiny bells and attached them to her roosters Each bell
had a different tone so she could tell from a distance which rooster was performing Now she could
sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells
Sarahs favorite rooster old Butch was a very fine specimen but this morning she noticed old
Butchs bell hadnt rung at all When she went to investigate she saw the other roosters were busy
chasing pullets bells-a-ringing but the pullets hearing the roosters coming would run for cover
To Sarahs amazement old Butch had his bell in his beak so it couldnt ring Hed sneak up on a pul-
let do his job and walk on to the next one
Sarah was so proud of old Butch she entered him in a Show and he became an over-
night sensation among the judges
The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the No Bell Peace Prize they
also awarded him the Pulletsurprise as well
Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making Who else but a politician could figure
out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at
sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they werent paying
attention
We hope you voted carefully in the last election You cant always hear the bells

The Edmonton Eskimos are named for the Eskimo or Inuit of northern Canada While not located in the far north land of the Inuit the nickname Eskimos was likely adopted for the alliterative effect and as a reference to Edmontons northern location The original name was Esquimaux from 1897 to 1910 from the archaic French spelling Edmonton has faced some pressure in the past couple decades to change their team name most recently in 2011 and 2014 Edmonton has a long history of teams with the Eskimo name in hockey baseball and other sports

Gout a rheumatic disease which results from the deposition of uric acid crystals in tissues and fluids manifests as sudden severe attacks of pain The typical presentation of gout is tenderness and pain in the big toe but the patient may experience an atypical presentation where any joint can be affected Gout occurs as a result of urate production (either normal or excessive) and the kidneys lack of ability to process the urate and eliminate it from the body fast enough What the body cannot excrete it will store In the case of excess urate the body will attempt to store it in the joint spaces This will result in recurrent attacks of inflammation chronic arthropathy topaceous deposits and potentially uric acid nephrolithiasis
The cause of gout can be due to high uric acid levels (primary) or due to the result of another disease state medication or various other reasons such as dietary indiscretion (secondary) The majority of patients who experience gout will match the typical profile older obese male frequent alcohol intake hypertensive hyperlipidemic Patients who do not meet this profile may be misdiagnosed therefore be on the lookout for patients who may experience gouty arthritis related to medications or poor lifestyle choices Predisposing factors may include high consumption of meat seafood fatty or processed foods or alcohol Trauma surgery dehydration and some medications (diuretics aspirin) may also precipitate a gout attack
There are three clinical syndromes associated with gouty arthritis acute gouty arthritis intercritical gout (or interval gout) and chronic recurrent and tophaceous gout Acute gouty arthritis is characterized by severe pain redness and swelling which reach the maximum in 24 hours and dissipate after that usually completely resolving in a few days or a week As mentioned before the big toe is the typical site of involvement but any joint can be involved Lab tests performed during this period may be nonspecific for gout and uric acid levels maybe either high or low during an attack making the diagnosis difficult Aspiration of the joint space may produce urate crystals Once the acute period has subsided the patient is said to have entered the intercritical period which is the symptom free period between flares This is the time to draw uric acid levels and determine if the patient is an over producer or undereliminator of uric acid and to aspirate previously effected joints in the search for urate crystals Once the diagnosis of gouty arthritis has been made it is time to manage comorbid conditions eliminate the cause of hyperuricemia and initiate urate lowering medications Tophaceous deposits are the result of longer term untreated or undertreated gout high levels of serum urate diuretic use or treatment with cyclosporine Larger deposits of uric acid may be apparent by visual or tactile inspection or may be determined by radiography or MRI
Treatment for acute gout should be initiated as soon as gout flare symptoms are perceived by the patient Gout flares will resolve faster if treatment is initiated right away Because of this the patient and provider should discuss abortive therapies at the initial appointment and the patient should receive counseling on which therapies are appropriate to take immediately upon initiation of a flare Anti-inflammatory medications are the mainstay for treatment of an acute flare but may not be appropriate for all patients due to their renal and cardiovascular side effects Since time is of the essence when treating a gout flare over the counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications may be the medication of choice due to easy access Prescriptions for other medications should be filled as soon as received and kept on hand so therapy can be initiate as quickly as possible Colchicine glucocorticoids and interleukin inhibitors are other medications which may be appropriate to treat an acute gout flare

P A R A D I S E V I L L A G E N E W S
Once the initial flare has subsided and the diagnosis of gout has been made prevention strategies should be initiated These strategies include lifestyle modification management of comorbid disease states initiation of urate lowering therapies and prophylactic therapy Since weight loss and a healthy diet has been shown to decrease the risk for gout patients should be encouraged to choose a diet moderate in meat consumption and low in processed or fatty foods and alcohol If a medication is deemed to be the reason for gout every effort to choose an alternative medication should be made Urate lowering medications should be initiated to reduce recurrent attacks and bony formations as well as dissolve any tophi which may have formed Counsel the patient so that he or she understands that treatment for recurrent gout is continuous and lifelong Treatment options may include uricosuric agents which enhance uric acid excretion xanthine oxidase inhibitors which decrease urate formation and uricase enzymes which catalyze the conversion to allantoin a more soluble purine product The goal of therapy is to obtain and maintain a serum urate level of lt6 mgdL by slowly reducing the circulating urate by 1-2 mgdL per month If the patient fails to meet these goals check for adherence to the treatment and life style changes reevaluate the diagnosis or consider an alternative therapy
The keys to successful treatment of gout are proper hydration therapeutic life style changes adherence to treatment and the use of NSAIDS (colchicine or glucocorticoids) for quick resolution of an acute attack Treatment is lifelong but maintaining urate levels lt6 mgdL will result in tophi resolution over time and a reduction in acute attacks of gout As a result of following the treatment and lifestyle changes indicated above the patient may experience less frequent gout flares or may become free of flares all together leading to an improved quality of life

AND THEN IT WAS WINTER by Barb Prior
You knowhelliptime has a way of moving quickly and catching you
unaware of the passing years It seems just yesterday that I was young
just married and embarking on my new life Yet in a way it seems
like eons ago and I wonder where all the years went I know that I
have lived them all I have glimpses of how it was back then of all
my hopes and dreams But here it is the back nine of my life and it
catches me by surprise How did I get here so fast I remember seeing
older people through the years and thinking that those older people
were years away from me I was only on the first hole and the back
nine was so far off that I could not imagine what it would be like
But here it ismy friends are retired and getting grey They move
slower I remember when we were young and vibrant but like me
our age is beginning to show We are now those older folks
And so now I enter this new season of my life unprepared for all the
aches and pains the loss of strength and ability to do the things that I
wish I had done but never did Im now on the back nine of my life
and I dont know how long it will last
Yes I have regrets There are things I wish I hadnt donethings I
should have done but indeed there are many things Im happy to have
done Its all part of my lifetime
So if you are not yet on your back nine let me remind you it will be
here faster than you think Whatever you would like to accomplish in
your lifedo it Life goes by quickly
There are no promises that you will see all the seasons of your
life LIVE FOR TODAY
Tell your loved ones all the things you want them to remember and
hope they appreciate and love you for all the things you have done for
them through the years
Life is a gift The way you live your life is your gift to those who
come after Make it a fantastic one Its not what you gather but what
you scatter that tells what kind of life you have lived
Live well Enjoy today Be happy Health is the real wealth
Consider the following
Your kids are becoming you but your grandchildren are perfect
Going out is good coming home is better
You forget namesIts OK because other people forget the even knew
you
You realize yoursquore never going to be really good at any-
thingespecially golf
You sleep better in a lounge chair with the TV blaring than in bed
You miss the days when everything worked with just an ON and
OFF switch
You tend to use more four letter wordsWhat ldquoWhen
What used to be freckles are now liver spots
Everybody whispers
Old is good in some things Old songs Old movies Old friends
Stay well old friend Today is the oldest youve ever been yet the
youngest youll ever be So enjoy this day while it lasts

Angel Fingerprints by Barbara Ann Derksen (Paradise Resident)
Angels are a topic of conversation in many homes during the Christmas season We place them on Christmas tree tops and listen as children depicting angels in a Christmas pageant tell shepherds to go to Bethlehem to see the Savior
But do angels really exist Bob Kristensen was about to find out
The day was cool dry and sunny with a crisp feel to the air on this pre-Christmas day in 2001 Bob decided early that morning that he would cut some wood from a neighborrsquos yard She had a dead tree she wanted removed Bob had a hungry wood-eating furnace at home
Completing his regular work schedule early he headed towards the field tools in hand Bob a strong Christian had never encountered an angel knew little about their existence except what the Bible told him so spent very little time thinking about them at all Smiling with his mind on the task at hand and not on angels he slammed the door to his truck and headed toward the large tree
It leaned a little to the north As Bob stared up at it the forty or fifty foot height seemed to reach heaven He knew a good Maple when he saw one and with a girth of three feet Bob knew the tree had been there a long time It had been damaged during a storm so now this tree would feed his furnace for a month or more Bob swung his axe for the first cut
He expected since the tree was leaning north that it would fall in that direction so he notched the north side of the tree He moved around to the south side His chain saw cut into the old bark spewing sawdust in all directions Bob glanced at the top occasionally The tree swayed as he reached the center with his saw sharpened for just such a time as this Before he had time to react the tree fell not to the north as was expected but directly over the spot where he was standing Life did not have time to flash before his eyes as the huge trunk aimed for his head
As if in a flash he was laying on the ground about twelve feet from the base of that huge tree His left leg was underneath the tree where the trunk was bowed He wiggled his foot No pain He stood dusted himself off and checked for broken bones None As he looked again at the tree some men whorsquod been working nearby ran to his side With disbelief and amazement written all over their faces each one asked if he was okay several times
ldquoWhat happened Did any of you see what happenedrdquo Bob looked from one face to the other
The rougher much younger man scratched his head blinked a few times and then replied ldquoIt looked as if you were moving backward very fast but neither of your feet were touching the groundrdquo The man surmised there was a space of about two feet between Bobrsquos feet and the ground under them
That was when Bob began to think about angels really think about them for the first time He left the tree lying where it was and drove as fast as the law would allow toward home He felt giddy almost strange thinking could it be true Bobrsquos wife was not home when he got there and by this time even though he hadnrsquot felt anything hit him soreness began to make itself known in his left front shoulder He decided to investigate Pulling off his shirt he discovered a large bruise
The main part of the bruise was close to baseball size but the entire left side of his chest was swollen He shook his head The only souvenir of his encounter with a tree that probably weighed 3000 pounds was a big ugly bruise
Bob spoke about the incident with a friend later that evening As most of us want to do he began to logically explain his bruise as the remains of the treersquos encounter with his body His friend however posed a good question ldquoIf a three thousand pound tree fell on you and hit you on the chest how could you possibly have gotten out from under itrdquo Bob began to feel that giddy sense of the unknown again Maybe that bruise was from a heavenly hand after all

th
Bob decided to seek his pastorrsquos advice the next day after he saw the five smaller bruises four on the back of his shoulder and one beside the larger bruise
The Bible says that angels are created beings with high intelligencerdquo the pastor began ldquoThey have the abil-ity to make moral judgment but they are spiritual beings without physical bodies The Bible clearly says that there are angels who guard people although I am not convinced that there is necessarily a guardian angel assigned to each person The idea that people who die become angels is not biblical but more an inspira-tional idea and popularized in the movie industryrdquo
He went on to explain that in scripture angels are of a separate created order from mankind ldquoWhen human beings die those who go to heaven remain human beings Angels are created to serve the Lord and the Bible talks about them protecting man Psalm 9111 says For He will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways They will lift you up in their hands so you will not strike your foot against a stonerdquo
The Reverend went on to explain that there are angels like man who are fallen and that God through His Son has provided a redemption plan for man but not for angels
ldquoDo angels help some people but not othersrdquo Bob had a hard time accepting Godrsquos intervention in this situation
ldquoIt would appear so according to Gods higher purposerdquo the pastor answered
Bob went home His senses tingling he took another look at the bruises on his left shoulder Each of the smaller imprints looked like a bruise but was exactly the size of a fingerprint four on his back and one on the front of his shoulder just a little to the right of the large bruise noticed the day before He called his wife
ldquoJean place your hand over those bruisesrdquo He watched in the mirror as she stood in front of him When she placed her smaller palm over the large bruise her thumb and fingers almost fit the exact place where the other bruises lay Bob knew that his angel had moved him out of harmrsquos way He had the hand print to prove it
Bob walks daily with the knowledge that God cares specifically for those who love him He has not encountered another angel but he has experienced Godrsquos caring in other ways He also knows many who act as Godrsquos angels in human form and he hopes he has become one of them

Paul amp Linda Ratte - 11 Nature Drive - moved to Paradise Village from Transcona on October 23 2015 When I
went to visit them they were still trying to get settled in and found they hadnt downsized nearly enough That seems
to be problematic with a lot of us They have been looking for years for a place to retire to and found Paradise Vil-
lage to be exactly what they were looking for They like the countryside the peace and friendliness and enjoy their
own private home garden and yard We talked about all the activities and events held at the Rec Centre and Paul
said thats another thing that attracted them to Paradise Village - the Pool and the Rec Centre Paul is still actively
employed as an electrician for Freshwater Fish but can hardly wait until he retires next year Linda did odd jobs
throughout her life but was basically a stay-at-home mom They have 3 children and 9 grandchildren so did a fair
amount of babysitting which she treasured Lindas interests are bird watching cooking gardening and playing
bingo Paul plays hockey is a backyard mechanic and a jack-of-all trades kind of a guyHad a most enjoyable visit
with Paul and Linda and encouraged them to come out to some of the activities where they will be able to meet other
residents in our beautiful Paradise Village

Sarah was in the fertilized egg business She had several hundred young pullets and ten roosters to
fertilize the eggs She kept records and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was
replaced
This took a lot of time so she bought some tiny bells and attached them to her roosters Each bell
had a different tone so she could tell from a distance which rooster was performing Now she could
sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells
Sarahs favorite rooster old Butch was a very fine specimen but this morning she noticed old
Butchs bell hadnt rung at all When she went to investigate she saw the other roosters were busy
chasing pullets bells-a-ringing but the pullets hearing the roosters coming would run for cover
To Sarahs amazement old Butch had his bell in his beak so it couldnt ring Hed sneak up on a pul-
let do his job and walk on to the next one
Sarah was so proud of old Butch she entered him in a Show and he became an over-
night sensation among the judges
The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the No Bell Peace Prize they
also awarded him the Pulletsurprise as well
Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making Who else but a politician could figure
out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at
sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they werent paying
attention
We hope you voted carefully in the last election You cant always hear the bells

ldquoREDBLACKS represents Ottawas sports history and pays tribute to the Ottawa men and women who serve our country From the original Rough Riders in the 1890s to the modern Ottawa Senators Hockey Club red and black are the colours of Ottawa sport
The Edmonton Eskimos are named for the Eskimo or Inuit of northern Canada While not located in the far north land of the Inuit the nickname Eskimos was likely adopted for the alliterative effect and as a reference to Edmontons northern location The original name was Esquimaux from 1897 to 1910 from the archaic French spelling Edmonton has faced some pressure in the past couple decades to change their team name most recently in 2011 and 2014 Edmonton has a long history of teams with the Eskimo name in hockey baseball and other sports

Gout
Gout a rheumatic disease which results from the deposition of uric acid crystals in tissues and fluids manifests as sudden severe attacks of pain The typical presentation of gout is tenderness and pain in the big toe but the patient may experience an atypical presentation where any joint can be affected Gout occurs as a result of urate production (either normal or excessive) and the kidneys lack of ability to process the urate and eliminate it from the body fast enough What the body cannot excrete it will store In the case of excess urate the body will attempt to store it in the joint spaces This will result in recurrent attacks of inflammation chronic arthropathy topaceous deposits and potentially uric acid nephrolithiasis
The cause of gout can be due to high uric acid levels (primary) or due to the result of another disease state medication or various other reasons such as dietary indiscretion (secondary) The majority of patients who experience gout will match the typical profile older obese male frequent alcohol intake hypertensive hyperlipidemic Patients who do not meet this profile may be misdiagnosed therefore be on the lookout for patients who may experience gouty arthritis related to medications or poor lifestyle choices Predisposing factors may include high consumption of meat seafood fatty or processed foods or alcohol Trauma surgery dehydration and some medications (diuretics aspirin) may also precipitate a gout attack
There are three clinical syndromes associated with gouty arthritis acute gouty arthritis intercritical gout (or interval gout) and chronic recurrent and tophaceous gout Acute gouty arthritis is characterized by severe pain redness and swelling which reach the maximum in 24 hours and dissipate after that usually completely resolving in a few days or a week As mentioned before the big toe is the typical site of involvement but any joint can be involved Lab tests performed during this period may be nonspecific for gout and uric acid levels maybe either high or low during an attack making the diagnosis difficult Aspiration of the joint space may produce urate crystals Once the acute period has subsided the patient is said to have entered the intercritical period which is the symptom free period between flares This is the time to draw uric acid levels and determine if the patient is an over producer or undereliminator of uric acid and to aspirate previously effected joints in the search for urate crystals Once the diagnosis of gouty arthritis has been made it is time to manage comorbid conditions eliminate the cause of hyperuricemia and initiate urate lowering medications Tophaceous deposits are the result of longer term untreated or undertreated gout high levels of serum urate diuretic use or treatment with cyclosporine Larger deposits of uric acid may be apparent by visual or tactile inspection or may be determined by radiography or MRI
Treatment for acute gout should be initiated as soon as gout flare symptoms are perceived by the patient Gout flares will resolve faster if treatment is initiated right away Because of this the patient and provider should discuss abortive therapies at the initial appointment and the patient should receive counseling on which therapies are appropriate to take immediately upon initiation of a flare Anti-inflammatory medications are the mainstay for treatment of an acute flare but may not be appropriate for all patients due to their renal and cardiovascular side effects Since time is of the essence when treating a gout flare over the counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications may be the medication of choice due to easy access Prescriptions for other medications should be filled as soon as received and kept on hand so therapy can be initiate as quickly as possible Colchicine glucocorticoids and interleukin inhibitors are other medications which may be appropriate to treat an acute gout flare
37
P A R A D I S E V I L L A G E N E W S
Once the initial flare has subsided and the diagnosis of gout has been made prevention strategies should be initiated These strategies include lifestyle modification management of comorbid disease states initiation of urate lowering therapies and prophylactic therapy Since weight loss and a healthy diet has been shown to decrease the risk for gout patients should be encouraged to choose a diet moderate in meat consumption and low in processed or fatty foods and alcohol If a medication is deemed to be the reason for gout every effort to choose an alternative medication should be made Urate lowering medications should be initiated to reduce recurrent attacks and bony formations as well as dissolve any tophi which may have formed Counsel the patient so that he or she understands that treatment for recurrent gout is continuous and lifelong Treatment options may include uricosuric agents which enhance uric acid excretion xanthine oxidase inhibitors which decrease urate formation and uricase enzymes which catalyze the conversion to allantoin a more soluble purine product The goal of therapy is to obtain and maintain a serum urate level of lt6 mgdL by slowly reducing the circulating urate by 1-2 mgdL per month If the patient fails to meet these goals check for adherence to the treatment and life style changes reevaluate the diagnosis or consider an alternative therapy
The keys to successful treatment of gout are proper hydration therapeutic life style changes adherence to treatment and the use of NSAIDS (colchicine or glucocorticoids) for quick resolution of an acute attack Treatment is lifelong but maintaining urate levels lt6 mgdL will result in tophi resolution over time and a reduction in acute attacks of gout As a result of following the treatment and lifestyle changes indicated above the patient may experience less frequent gout flares or may become free of flares all together leading to an improved quality of life

AND THEN IT WAS WINTER by Barb Prior
You knowhelliptime has a way of moving quickly and catching you
unaware of the passing years It seems just yesterday that I was young
just married and embarking on my new life Yet in a way it seems
like eons ago and I wonder where all the years went I know that I
have lived them all I have glimpses of how it was back then of all
my hopes and dreams But here it is the back nine of my life and it
catches me by surprise How did I get here so fast I remember seeing
older people through the years and thinking that those older people
were years away from me I was only on the first hole and the back
nine was so far off that I could not imagine what it would be like
But here it ismy friends are retired and getting grey They move
slower I remember when we were young and vibrant but like me
our age is beginning to show We are now those older folks
And so now I enter this new season of my life unprepared for all the
aches and pains the loss of strength and ability to do the things that I
wish I had done but never did Im now on the back nine of my life
and I dont know how long it will last
Yes I have regrets There are things I wish I hadnt donethings I
should have done but indeed there are many things Im happy to have
done Its all part of my lifetime
So if you are not yet on your back nine let me remind you it will be
here faster than you think Whatever you would like to accomplish in
your lifedo it Life goes by quickly
There are no promises that you will see all the seasons of your
life LIVE FOR TODAY
Tell your loved ones all the things you want them to remember and
hope they appreciate and love you for all the things you have done for
them through the years
Life is a gift The way you live your life is your gift to those who
come after Make it a fantastic one Its not what you gather but what
you scatter that tells what kind of life you have lived
Live well Enjoy today Be happy Health is the real wealth
Consider the following
Your kids are becoming you but your grandchildren are perfect
Going out is good coming home is better
You forget namesIts OK because other people forget the even knew
you
You realize yoursquore never going to be really good at any-
thingespecially golf
You sleep better in a lounge chair with the TV blaring than in bed
You miss the days when everything worked with just an ON and
OFF switch
You tend to use more four letter wordsWhat ldquoWhen
What used to be freckles are now liver spots
Everybody whispers
Old is good in some things Old songs Old movies Old friends
Stay well old friend Today is the oldest youve ever been yet the
youngest youll ever be So enjoy this day while it lasts

Angel Fingerprints by Barbara Ann Derksen (Paradise Resident)
Angels are a topic of conversation in many homes during the Christmas season We place them on Christmas tree tops and listen as children depicting angels in a Christmas pageant tell shepherds to go to Bethlehem to see the Savior
But do angels really exist Bob Kristensen was about to find out
The day was cool dry and sunny with a crisp feel to the air on this pre-Christmas day in 2001 Bob decided early that morning that he would cut some wood from a neighborrsquos yard She had a dead tree she wanted removed Bob had a hungry wood-eating furnace at home
Completing his regular work schedule early he headed towards the field tools in hand Bob a strong Christian had never encountered an angel knew little about their existence except what the Bible told him so spent very little time thinking about them at all Smiling with his mind on the task at hand and not on angels he slammed the door to his truck and headed toward the large tree
It leaned a little to the north As Bob stared up at it the forty or fifty foot height seemed to reach heaven He knew a good Maple when he saw one and with a girth of three feet Bob knew the tree had been there a long time It had been damaged during a storm so now this tree would feed his furnace for a month or more Bob swung his axe for the first cut
He expected since the tree was leaning north that it would fall in that direction so he notched the north side of the tree He moved around to the south side His chain saw cut into the old bark spewing sawdust in all directions Bob glanced at the top occasionally The tree swayed as he reached the center with his saw sharpened for just such a time as this Before he had time to react the tree fell not to the north as was expected but directly over the spot where he was standing Life did not have time to flash before his eyes as the huge trunk aimed for his head
As if in a flash he was laying on the ground about twelve feet from the base of that huge tree His left leg was underneath the tree where the trunk was bowed He wiggled his foot No pain He stood dusted himself off and checked for broken bones None As he looked again at the tree some men whorsquod been working nearby ran to his side With disbelief and amazement written all over their faces each one asked if he was okay several times
ldquoWhat happened Did any of you see what happenedrdquo Bob looked from one face to the other
The rougher much younger man scratched his head blinked a few times and then replied ldquoIt looked as if you were moving backward very fast but neither of your feet were touching the groundrdquo The man surmised there was a space of about two feet between Bobrsquos feet and the ground under them
That was when Bob began to think about angels really think about them for the first time He left the tree lying where it was and drove as fast as the law would allow toward home He felt giddy almost strange thinking could it be true Bobrsquos wife was not home when he got there and by this time even though he hadnrsquot felt anything hit him soreness began to make itself known in his left front shoulder He decided to investigate Pulling off his shirt he discovered a large bruise
The main part of the bruise was close to baseball size but the entire left side of his chest was swollen He shook his head The only souvenir of his encounter with a tree that probably weighed 3000 pounds was a big ugly bruise
Bob spoke about the incident with a friend later that evening As most of us want to do he began to logically explain his bruise as the remains of the treersquos encounter with his body His friend however posed a good question ldquoIf a three thousand pound tree fell on you and hit you on the chest how could you possibly have gotten out from under itrdquo Bob began to feel that giddy sense of the unknown again Maybe that bruise was from a heavenly hand after all

th
Bob decided to seek his pastorrsquos advice the next day after he saw the five smaller bruises four on the back of his shoulder and one beside the larger bruise
The Bible says that angels are created beings with high intelligencerdquo the pastor began ldquoThey have the abil-ity to make moral judgment but they are spiritual beings without physical bodies The Bible clearly says that there are angels who guard people although I am not convinced that there is necessarily a guardian angel assigned to each person The idea that people who die become angels is not biblical but more an inspira-tional idea and popularized in the movie industryrdquo
He went on to explain that in scripture angels are of a separate created order from mankind ldquoWhen human beings die those who go to heaven remain human beings Angels are created to serve the Lord and the Bible talks about them protecting man Psalm 9111 says For He will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways They will lift you up in their hands so you will not strike your foot against a stonerdquo
The Reverend went on to explain that there are angels like man who are fallen and that God through His Son has provided a redemption plan for man but not for angels
ldquoDo angels help some people but not othersrdquo Bob had a hard time accepting Godrsquos intervention in this situation
ldquoIt would appear so according to Gods higher purposerdquo the pastor answered
Bob went home His senses tingling he took another look at the bruises on his left shoulder Each of the smaller imprints looked like a bruise but was exactly the size of a fingerprint four on his back and one on the front of his shoulder just a little to the right of the large bruise noticed the day before He called his wife
ldquoJean place your hand over those bruisesrdquo He watched in the mirror as she stood in front of him When she placed her smaller palm over the large bruise her thumb and fingers almost fit the exact place where the other bruises lay Bob knew that his angel had moved him out of harmrsquos way He had the hand print to prove it
Bob walks daily with the knowledge that God cares specifically for those who love him He has not encountered another angel but he has experienced Godrsquos caring in other ways He also knows many who act as Godrsquos angels in human form and he hopes he has become one of them

Paul amp Linda Ratte - 11 Nature Drive - moved to Paradise Village from Transcona on October 23 2015 When I
went to visit them they were still trying to get settled in and found they hadnt downsized nearly enough That seems
to be problematic with a lot of us They have been looking for years for a place to retire to and found Paradise Vil-
lage to be exactly what they were looking for They like the countryside the peace and friendliness and enjoy their
own private home garden and yard We talked about all the activities and events held at the Rec Centre and Paul
said thats another thing that attracted them to Paradise Village - the Pool and the Rec Centre Paul is still actively
employed as an electrician for Freshwater Fish but can hardly wait until he retires next year Linda did odd jobs
throughout her life but was basically a stay-at-home mom They have 3 children and 9 grandchildren so did a fair
amount of babysitting which she treasured Lindas interests are bird watching cooking gardening and playing
bingo Paul plays hockey is a backyard mechanic and a jack-of-all trades kind of a guyHad a most enjoyable visit
with Paul and Linda and encouraged them to come out to some of the activities where they will be able to meet other
residents in our beautiful Paradise Village

Sarah was in the fertilized egg business She had several hundred young pullets and ten roosters to
fertilize the eggs She kept records and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was
replaced
This took a lot of time so she bought some tiny bells and attached them to her roosters Each bell
had a different tone so she could tell from a distance which rooster was performing Now she could
sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells
Sarahs favorite rooster old Butch was a very fine specimen but this morning she noticed old
Butchs bell hadnt rung at all When she went to investigate she saw the other roosters were busy
chasing pullets bells-a-ringing but the pullets hearing the roosters coming would run for cover
To Sarahs amazement old Butch had his bell in his beak so it couldnt ring Hed sneak up on a pul-
let do his job and walk on to the next one
Sarah was so proud of old Butch she entered him in a Show and he became an over-
night sensation among the judges
The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the No Bell Peace Prize they
also awarded him the Pulletsurprise as well
Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making Who else but a politician could figure
out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at
sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they werent paying
attention
We hope you voted carefully in the last election You cant always hear the bells

ldquoREDBLACKS represents Ottawas sports history and pays tribute to the Ottawa men and women who serve our country From the original Rough Riders in the 1890s to the modern Ottawa Senators Hockey Club red and black are the colours of Ottawa sport
The Edmonton Eskimos are named for the Eskimo or Inuit of northern Canada While not located in the far north land of the Inuit the nickname Eskimos was likely adopted for the alliterative effect and as a reference to Edmontons northern location The original name was Esquimaux from 1897 to 1910 from the archaic French spelling Edmonton has faced some pressure in the past couple decades to change their team name most recently in 2011 and 2014 Edmonton has a long history of teams with the Eskimo name in hockey baseball and other sports

Gout
Gout a rheumatic disease which results from the deposition of uric acid crystals in tissues and fluids manifests as sudden severe attacks of pain The typical presentation of gout is tenderness and pain in the big toe but the patient may experience an atypical presentation where any joint can be affected Gout occurs as a result of urate production (either normal or excessive) and the kidneys lack of ability to process the urate and eliminate it from the body fast enough What the body cannot excrete it will store In the case of excess urate the body will attempt to store it in the joint spaces This will result in recurrent attacks of inflammation chronic arthropathy topaceous deposits and potentially uric acid nephrolithiasis
The cause of gout can be due to high uric acid levels (primary) or due to the result of another disease state medication or various other reasons such as dietary indiscretion (secondary) The majority of patients who experience gout will match the typical profile older obese male frequent alcohol intake hypertensive hyperlipidemic Patients who do not meet this profile may be misdiagnosed therefore be on the lookout for patients who may experience gouty arthritis related to medications or poor lifestyle choices Predisposing factors may include high consumption of meat seafood fatty or processed foods or alcohol Trauma surgery dehydration and some medications (diuretics aspirin) may also precipitate a gout attack
There are three clinical syndromes associated with gouty arthritis acute gouty arthritis intercritical gout (or interval gout) and chronic recurrent and tophaceous gout Acute gouty arthritis is characterized by severe pain redness and swelling which reach the maximum in 24 hours and dissipate after that usually completely resolving in a few days or a week As mentioned before the big toe is the typical site of involvement but any joint can be involved Lab tests performed during this period may be nonspecific for gout and uric acid levels maybe either high or low during an attack making the diagnosis difficult Aspiration of the joint space may produce urate crystals Once the acute period has subsided the patient is said to have entered the intercritical period which is the symptom free period between flares This is the time to draw uric acid levels and determine if the patient is an over producer or undereliminator of uric acid and to aspirate previously effected joints in the search for urate crystals Once the diagnosis of gouty arthritis has been made it is time to manage comorbid conditions eliminate the cause of hyperuricemia and initiate urate lowering medications Tophaceous deposits are the result of longer term untreated or undertreated gout high levels of serum urate diuretic use or treatment with cyclosporine Larger deposits of uric acid may be apparent by visual or tactile inspection or may be determined by radiography or MRI
Treatment for acute gout should be initiated as soon as gout flare symptoms are perceived by the patient Gout flares will resolve faster if treatment is initiated right away Because of this the patient and provider should discuss abortive therapies at the initial appointment and the patient should receive counseling on which therapies are appropriate to take immediately upon initiation of a flare Anti-inflammatory medications are the mainstay for treatment of an acute flare but may not be appropriate for all patients due to their renal and cardiovascular side effects Since time is of the essence when treating a gout flare over the counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications may be the medication of choice due to easy access Prescriptions for other medications should be filled as soon as received and kept on hand so therapy can be initiate as quickly as possible Colchicine glucocorticoids and interleukin inhibitors are other medications which may be appropriate to treat an acute gout flare
37
P A R A D I S E V I L L A G E N E W S
Once the initial flare has subsided and the diagnosis of gout has been made prevention strategies should be initiated These strategies include lifestyle modification management of comorbid disease states initiation of urate lowering therapies and prophylactic therapy Since weight loss and a healthy diet has been shown to decrease the risk for gout patients should be encouraged to choose a diet moderate in meat consumption and low in processed or fatty foods and alcohol If a medication is deemed to be the reason for gout every effort to choose an alternative medication should be made Urate lowering medications should be initiated to reduce recurrent attacks and bony formations as well as dissolve any tophi which may have formed Counsel the patient so that he or she understands that treatment for recurrent gout is continuous and lifelong Treatment options may include uricosuric agents which enhance uric acid excretion xanthine oxidase inhibitors which decrease urate formation and uricase enzymes which catalyze the conversion to allantoin a more soluble purine product The goal of therapy is to obtain and maintain a serum urate level of lt6 mgdL by slowly reducing the circulating urate by 1-2 mgdL per month If the patient fails to meet these goals check for adherence to the treatment and life style changes reevaluate the diagnosis or consider an alternative therapy
The keys to successful treatment of gout are proper hydration therapeutic life style changes adherence to treatment and the use of NSAIDS (colchicine or glucocorticoids) for quick resolution of an acute attack Treatment is lifelong but maintaining urate levels lt6 mgdL will result in tophi resolution over time and a reduction in acute attacks of gout As a result of following the treatment and lifestyle changes indicated above the patient may experience less frequent gout flares or may become free of flares all together leading to an improved quality of life

AND THEN IT WAS WINTER by Barb Prior
You knowhelliptime has a way of moving quickly and catching you
unaware of the passing years It seems just yesterday that I was young
just married and embarking on my new life Yet in a way it seems
like eons ago and I wonder where all the years went I know that I
have lived them all I have glimpses of how it was back then of all
my hopes and dreams But here it is the back nine of my life and it
catches me by surprise How did I get here so fast I remember seeing
older people through the years and thinking that those older people
were years away from me I was only on the first hole and the back
nine was so far off that I could not imagine what it would be like
But here it ismy friends are retired and getting grey They move
slower I remember when we were young and vibrant but like me
our age is beginning to show We are now those older folks
And so now I enter this new season of my life unprepared for all the
aches and pains the loss of strength and ability to do the things that I
wish I had done but never did Im now on the back nine of my life
and I dont know how long it will last
Yes I have regrets There are things I wish I hadnt donethings I
should have done but indeed there are many things Im happy to have
done Its all part of my lifetime
So if you are not yet on your back nine let me remind you it will be
here faster than you think Whatever you would like to accomplish in
your lifedo it Life goes by quickly
There are no promises that you will see all the seasons of your
life LIVE FOR TODAY
Tell your loved ones all the things you want them to remember and
hope they appreciate and love you for all the things you have done for
them through the years
Life is a gift The way you live your life is your gift to those who
come after Make it a fantastic one Its not what you gather but what
you scatter that tells what kind of life you have lived
Live well Enjoy today Be happy Health is the real wealth
Consider the following
Your kids are becoming you but your grandchildren are perfect
Going out is good coming home is better
You forget namesIts OK because other people forget the even knew
you
You realize yoursquore never going to be really good at any-
thingespecially golf
You sleep better in a lounge chair with the TV blaring than in bed
You miss the days when everything worked with just an ON and
OFF switch
You tend to use more four letter wordsWhat ldquoWhen
What used to be freckles are now liver spots
Everybody whispers
Old is good in some things Old songs Old movies Old friends
Stay well old friend Today is the oldest youve ever been yet the
youngest youll ever be So enjoy this day while it lasts

Angel Fingerprints by Barbara Ann Derksen (Paradise Resident)
Angels are a topic of conversation in many homes during the Christmas season We place them on Christmas tree tops and listen as children depicting angels in a Christmas pageant tell shepherds to go to Bethlehem to see the Savior
But do angels really exist Bob Kristensen was about to find out
The day was cool dry and sunny with a crisp feel to the air on this pre-Christmas day in 2001 Bob decided early that morning that he would cut some wood from a neighborrsquos yard She had a dead tree she wanted removed Bob had a hungry wood-eating furnace at home
Completing his regular work schedule early he headed towards the field tools in hand Bob a strong Christian had never encountered an angel knew little about their existence except what the Bible told him so spent very little time thinking about them at all Smiling with his mind on the task at hand and not on angels he slammed the door to his truck and headed toward the large tree
It leaned a little to the north As Bob stared up at it the forty or fifty foot height seemed to reach heaven He knew a good Maple when he saw one and with a girth of three feet Bob knew the tree had been there a long time It had been damaged during a storm so now this tree would feed his furnace for a month or more Bob swung his axe for the first cut
He expected since the tree was leaning north that it would fall in that direction so he notched the north side of the tree He moved around to the south side His chain saw cut into the old bark spewing sawdust in all directions Bob glanced at the top occasionally The tree swayed as he reached the center with his saw sharpened for just such a time as this Before he had time to react the tree fell not to the north as was expected but directly over the spot where he was standing Life did not have time to flash before his eyes as the huge trunk aimed for his head
As if in a flash he was laying on the ground about twelve feet from the base of that huge tree His left leg was underneath the tree where the trunk was bowed He wiggled his foot No pain He stood dusted himself off and checked for broken bones None As he looked again at the tree some men whorsquod been working nearby ran to his side With disbelief and amazement written all over their faces each one asked if he was okay several times
ldquoWhat happened Did any of you see what happenedrdquo Bob looked from one face to the other
The rougher much younger man scratched his head blinked a few times and then replied ldquoIt looked as if you were moving backward very fast but neither of your feet were touching the groundrdquo The man surmised there was a space of about two feet between Bobrsquos feet and the ground under them
That was when Bob began to think about angels really think about them for the first time He left the tree lying where it was and drove as fast as the law would allow toward home He felt giddy almost strange thinking could it be true Bobrsquos wife was not home when he got there and by this time even though he hadnrsquot felt anything hit him soreness began to make itself known in his left front shoulder He decided to investigate Pulling off his shirt he discovered a large bruise
The main part of the bruise was close to baseball size but the entire left side of his chest was swollen He shook his head The only souvenir of his encounter with a tree that probably weighed 3000 pounds was a big ugly bruise
Bob spoke about the incident with a friend later that evening As most of us want to do he began to logically explain his bruise as the remains of the treersquos encounter with his body His friend however posed a good question ldquoIf a three thousand pound tree fell on you and hit you on the chest how could you possibly have gotten out from under itrdquo Bob began to feel that giddy sense of the unknown again Maybe that bruise was from a heavenly hand after all

th
Bob decided to seek his pastorrsquos advice the next day after he saw the five smaller bruises four on the back of his shoulder and one beside the larger bruise
The Bible says that angels are created beings with high intelligencerdquo the pastor began ldquoThey have the abil-ity to make moral judgment but they are spiritual beings without physical bodies The Bible clearly says that there are angels who guard people although I am not convinced that there is necessarily a guardian angel assigned to each person The idea that people who die become angels is not biblical but more an inspira-tional idea and popularized in the movie industryrdquo
He went on to explain that in scripture angels are of a separate created order from mankind ldquoWhen human beings die those who go to heaven remain human beings Angels are created to serve the Lord and the Bible talks about them protecting man Psalm 9111 says For He will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways They will lift you up in their hands so you will not strike your foot against a stonerdquo
The Reverend went on to explain that there are angels like man who are fallen and that God through His Son has provided a redemption plan for man but not for angels
ldquoDo angels help some people but not othersrdquo Bob had a hard time accepting Godrsquos intervention in this situation
ldquoIt would appear so according to Gods higher purposerdquo the pastor answered
Bob went home His senses tingling he took another look at the bruises on his left shoulder Each of the smaller imprints looked like a bruise but was exactly the size of a fingerprint four on his back and one on the front of his shoulder just a little to the right of the large bruise noticed the day before He called his wife
ldquoJean place your hand over those bruisesrdquo He watched in the mirror as she stood in front of him When she placed her smaller palm over the large bruise her thumb and fingers almost fit the exact place where the other bruises lay Bob knew that his angel had moved him out of harmrsquos way He had the hand print to prove it
Bob walks daily with the knowledge that God cares specifically for those who love him He has not encountered another angel but he has experienced Godrsquos caring in other ways He also knows many who act as Godrsquos angels in human form and he hopes he has become one of them

Sarah was in the fertilized egg business She had several hundred young pullets and ten roosters to
fertilize the eggs She kept records and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was
replaced
This took a lot of time so she bought some tiny bells and attached them to her roosters Each bell
had a different tone so she could tell from a distance which rooster was performing Now she could
sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells
Sarahs favorite rooster old Butch was a very fine specimen but this morning she noticed old
Butchs bell hadnt rung at all When she went to investigate she saw the other roosters were busy
chasing pullets bells-a-ringing but the pullets hearing the roosters coming would run for cover
To Sarahs amazement old Butch had his bell in his beak so it couldnt ring Hed sneak up on a pul-
let do his job and walk on to the next one
Sarah was so proud of old Butch she entered him in a Show and he became an over-
night sensation among the judges
The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the No Bell Peace Prize they
also awarded him the Pulletsurprise as well
Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making Who else but a politician could figure
out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at
sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they werent paying
attention
We hope you voted carefully in the last election You cant always hear the bells

The Edmonton Eskimos are named for the Eskimo or Inuit of northern Canada While not located in the far north land of the Inuit the nickname Eskimos was likely adopted for the alliterative effect and as a reference to Edmontons northern location The original name was Esquimaux from 1897 to 1910 from the archaic French spelling Edmonton has faced some pressure in the past couple decades to change their team name most recently in 2011 and 2014 Edmonton has a long history of teams with the Eskimo name in hockey baseball and other sports

Gout
Gout a rheumatic disease which results from the deposition of uric acid crystals in tissues and fluids manifests as sudden severe attacks of pain The typical presentation of gout is tenderness and pain in the big toe but the patient may experience an atypical presentation where any joint can be affected Gout occurs as a result of urate production (either normal or excessive) and the kidneys lack of ability to process the urate and eliminate it from the body fast enough What the body cannot excrete it will store In the case of excess urate the body will attempt to store it in the joint spaces This will result in recurrent attacks of inflammation chronic arthropathy topaceous deposits and potentially uric acid nephrolithiasis
The cause of gout can be due to high uric acid levels (primary) or due to the result of another disease state medication or various other reasons such as dietary indiscretion (secondary) The majority of patients who experience gout will match the typical profile older obese male frequent alcohol intake hypertensive hyperlipidemic Patients who do not meet this profile may be misdiagnosed therefore be on the lookout for patients who may experience gouty arthritis related to medications or poor lifestyle choices Predisposing factors may include high consumption of meat seafood fatty or processed foods or alcohol Trauma surgery dehydration and some medications (diuretics aspirin) may also precipitate a gout attack
There are three clinical syndromes associated with gouty arthritis acute gouty arthritis intercritical gout (or interval gout) and chronic recurrent and tophaceous gout Acute gouty arthritis is characterized by severe pain redness and swelling which reach the maximum in 24 hours and dissipate after that usually completely resolving in a few days or a week As mentioned before the big toe is the typical site of involvement but any joint can be involved Lab tests performed during this period may be nonspecific for gout and uric acid levels maybe either high or low during an attack making the diagnosis difficult Aspiration of the joint space may produce urate crystals Once the acute period has subsided the patient is said to have entered the intercritical period which is the symptom free period between flares This is the time to draw uric acid levels and determine if the patient is an over producer or undereliminator of uric acid and to aspirate previously effected joints in the search for urate crystals Once the diagnosis of gouty arthritis has been made it is time to manage comorbid conditions eliminate the cause of hyperuricemia and initiate urate lowering medications Tophaceous deposits are the result of longer term untreated or undertreated gout high levels of serum urate diuretic use or treatment with cyclosporine Larger deposits of uric acid may be apparent by visual or tactile inspection or may be determined by radiography or MRI
Treatment for acute gout should be initiated as soon as gout flare symptoms are perceived by the patient Gout flares will resolve faster if treatment is initiated right away Because of this the patient and provider should discuss abortive therapies at the initial appointment and the patient should receive counseling on which therapies are appropriate to take immediately upon initiation of a flare Anti-inflammatory medications are the mainstay for treatment of an acute flare but may not be appropriate for all patients due to their renal and cardiovascular side effects Since time is of the essence when treating a gout flare over the counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications may be the medication of choice due to easy access Prescriptions for other medications should be filled as soon as received and kept on hand so therapy can be initiate as quickly as possible Colchicine glucocorticoids and interleukin inhibitors are other medications which may be appropriate to treat an acute gout flare
37
P A R A D I S E V I L L A G E N E W S
Once the initial flare has subsided and the diagnosis of gout has been made prevention strategies should be initiated These strategies include lifestyle modification management of comorbid disease states initiation of urate lowering therapies and prophylactic therapy Since weight loss and a healthy diet has been shown to decrease the risk for gout patients should be encouraged to choose a diet moderate in meat consumption and low in processed or fatty foods and alcohol If a medication is deemed to be the reason for gout every effort to choose an alternative medication should be made Urate lowering medications should be initiated to reduce recurrent attacks and bony formations as well as dissolve any tophi which may have formed Counsel the patient so that he or she understands that treatment for recurrent gout is continuous and lifelong Treatment options may include uricosuric agents which enhance uric acid excretion xanthine oxidase inhibitors which decrease urate formation and uricase enzymes which catalyze the conversion to allantoin a more soluble purine product The goal of therapy is to obtain and maintain a serum urate level of lt6 mgdL by slowly reducing the circulating urate by 1-2 mgdL per month If the patient fails to meet these goals check for adherence to the treatment and life style changes reevaluate the diagnosis or consider an alternative therapy
The keys to successful treatment of gout are proper hydration therapeutic life style changes adherence to treatment and the use of NSAIDS (colchicine or glucocorticoids) for quick resolution of an acute attack Treatment is lifelong but maintaining urate levels lt6 mgdL will result in tophi resolution over time and a reduction in acute attacks of gout As a result of following the treatment and lifestyle changes indicated above the patient may experience less frequent gout flares or may become free of flares all together leading to an improved quality of life

ldquoNo way Yoursquore
too oldrdquo
He said ldquoLook

new lady friend come over toordquo
The doctor said ldquoOkay but I want

AND THEN IT WAS WINTER by Barb Prior
You knowhelliptime has a way of moving quickly and catching you
unaware of the passing years It seems just yesterday that I was young
just married and embarking on my new life Yet in a way it seems
like eons ago and I wonder where all the years went I know that I
have lived them all I have glimpses of how it was back then of all
my hopes and dreams But here it is the back nine of my life and it
catches me by surprise How did I get here so fast I remember seeing
older people through the years and thinking that those older people
were years away from me I was only on the first hole and the back
nine was so far off that I could not imagine what it would be like
But here it ismy friends are retired and getting grey They move
slower I remember when we were young and vibrant but like me
our age is beginning to show We are now those older folks
And so now I enter this new season of my life unprepared for all the
aches and pains the loss of strength and ability to do the things that I
wish I had done but never did Im now on the back nine of my life
and I dont know how long it will last
Yes I have regrets There are things I wish I hadnt donethings I
should have done but indeed there are many things Im happy to have
done Its all part of my lifetime
So if you are not yet on your back nine let me remind you it will be
here faster than you think Whatever you would like to accomplish in
your lifedo it Life goes by quickly
There are no promises that you will see all the seasons of your
life LIVE FOR TODAY
Tell your loved ones all the things you want them to remember and
hope they appreciate and love you for all the things you have done for
them through the years
Life is a gift The way you live your life is your gift to those who
come after Make it a fantastic one Its not what you gather but what
you scatter that tells what kind of life you have lived
Live well Enjoy today Be happy Health is the real wealth
Consider the following
Your kids are becoming you but your grandchildren are perfect
Going out is good coming home is better
You forget namesIts OK because other people forget the even knew
you
You realize yoursquore never going to be really good at any-
thingespecially golf
You sleep better in a lounge chair with the TV blaring than in bed
You miss the days when everything worked with just an ON and
OFF switch
You tend to use more four letter wordsWhat ldquoWhen
What used to be freckles are now liver spots
Everybody whispers
Old is good in some things Old songs Old movies Old friends
Stay well old friend Today is the oldest youve ever been yet the
youngest youll ever be So enjoy this day while it lasts

Angel Fingerprints by Barbara Ann Derksen (Paradise Resident)
Angels are a topic of conversation in many homes during the Christmas season We place them on Christmas tree tops and listen as children depicting angels in a Christmas pageant tell shepherds to go to Bethlehem to see the Savior
But do angels really exist Bob Kristensen was about to find out
The day was cool dry and sunny with a crisp feel to the air on this pre-Christmas day in 2001 Bob decided early that morning that he would cut some wood from a neighborrsquos yard She had a dead tree she wanted removed Bob had a hungry wood-eating furnace at home
Completing his regular work schedule early he headed towards the field tools in hand Bob a strong Christian had never encountered an angel knew little about their existence except what the Bible told him so spent very little time thinking about them at all Smiling with his mind on the task at hand and not on angels he slammed the door to his truck and headed toward the large tree
It leaned a little to the north As Bob stared up at it the forty or fifty foot height seemed to reach heaven He knew a good Maple when he saw one and with a girth of three feet Bob knew the tree had been there a long time It had been damaged during a storm so now this tree would feed his furnace for a month or more Bob swung his axe for the first cut
He expected since the tree was leaning north that it would fall in that direction so he notched the north side of the tree He moved around to the south side His chain saw cut into the old bark spewing sawdust in all directions Bob glanced at the top occasionally The tree swayed as he reached the center with his saw sharpened for just such a time as this Before he had time to react the tree fell not to the north as was expected but directly over the spot where he was standing Life did not have time to flash before his eyes as the huge trunk aimed for his head
As if in a flash he was laying on the ground about twelve feet from the base of that huge tree His left leg was underneath the tree where the trunk was bowed He wiggled his foot No pain He stood dusted himself off and checked for broken bones None As he looked again at the tree some men whorsquod been working nearby ran to his side With disbelief and amazement written all over their faces each one asked if he was okay several times
ldquoWhat happened Did any of you see what happenedrdquo Bob looked from one face to the other
The rougher much younger man scratched his head blinked a few times and then replied ldquoIt looked as if you were moving backward very fast but neither of your feet were touching the groundrdquo The man surmised there was a space of about two feet between Bobrsquos feet and the ground under them
That was when Bob began to think about angels really think about them for the first time He left the tree lying where it was and drove as fast as the law would allow toward home He felt giddy almost strange thinking could it be true Bobrsquos wife was not home when he got there and by this time even though he hadnrsquot felt anything hit him soreness began to make itself known in his left front shoulder He decided to investigate Pulling off his shirt he discovered a large bruise
The main part of the bruise was close to baseball size but the entire left side of his chest was swollen He shook his head The only souvenir of his encounter with a tree that probably weighed 3000 pounds was a big ugly bruise
Bob spoke about the incident with a friend later that evening As most of us want to do he began to logically explain his bruise as the remains of the treersquos encounter with his body His friend however posed a good question ldquoIf a three thousand pound tree fell on you and hit you on the chest how could you possibly have gotten out from under itrdquo Bob began to feel that giddy sense of the unknown again Maybe that bruise was from a heavenly hand after all

th
Bob decided to seek his pastorrsquos advice the next day after he saw the five smaller bruises four on the back of his shoulder and one beside the larger bruise
The Bible says that angels are created beings with high intelligencerdquo the pastor began ldquoThey have the abil-ity to make moral judgment but they are spiritual beings without physical bodies The Bible clearly says that there are angels who guard people although I am not convinced that there is necessarily a guardian angel assigned to each person The idea that people who die become angels is not biblical but more an inspira-tional idea and popularized in the movie industryrdquo
He went on to explain that in scripture angels are of a separate created order from mankind ldquoWhen human beings die those who go to heaven remain human beings Angels are created to serve the Lord and the Bible talks about them protecting man Psalm 9111 says For He will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways They will lift you up in their hands so you will not strike your foot against a stonerdquo
The Reverend went on to explain that there are angels like man who are fallen and that God through His Son has provided a redemption plan for man but not for angels
ldquoDo angels help some people but not othersrdquo Bob had a hard time accepting Godrsquos intervention in this situation
ldquoIt would appear so according to Gods higher purposerdquo the pastor answered
Bob went home His senses tingling he took another look at the bruises on his left shoulder Each of the smaller imprints looked like a bruise but was exactly the size of a fingerprint four on his back and one on the front of his shoulder just a little to the right of the large bruise noticed the day before He called his wife
ldquoJean place your hand over those bruisesrdquo He watched in the mirror as she stood in front of him When she placed her smaller palm over the large bruise her thumb and fingers almost fit the exact place where the other bruises lay Bob knew that his angel had moved him out of harmrsquos way He had the hand print to prove it
Bob walks daily with the knowledge that God cares specifically for those who love him He has not encountered another angel but he has experienced Godrsquos caring in other ways He also knows many who act as Godrsquos angels in human form and he hopes he has become one of them

went to visit them they were still trying to get settled in and found they hadnt downsized nearly enough That seems
to be problematic with a lot of us They have been looking for years for a place to retire to and found Paradise Vil-
lage to be exactly what they were looking for They like the countryside the peace and friendliness and enjoy their
own private home garden and yard We talked about all the activities and events held at the Rec Centre and Paul
said thats another thing that attracted them to Paradise Village - the Pool and the Rec Centre Paul is still actively
employed as an electrician for Freshwater Fish but can hardly wait until he retires next year Linda did odd jobs
throughout her life but was basically a stay-at-home mom They have 3 children and 9 grandchildren so did a fair
amount of babysitting which she treasured Lindas interests are bird watching cooking gardening and playing
bingo Paul plays hockey is a backyard mechanic and a jack-of-all trades kind of a guyHad a most enjoyable visit
with Paul and Linda and encouraged them to come out to some of the activities where they will be able to meet other
residents in our beautiful Paradise Village

Sarah was in the fertilized egg business She had several hundred young pullets and ten roosters to
fertilize the eggs She kept records and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was
replaced
This took a lot of time so she bought some tiny bells and attached them to her roosters Each bell
had a different tone so she could tell from a distance which rooster was performing Now she could
sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells
Sarahs favorite rooster old Butch was a very fine specimen but this morning she noticed old
Butchs bell hadnt rung at all When she went to investigate she saw the other roosters were busy
chasing pullets bells-a-ringing but the pullets hearing the roosters coming would run for cover
To Sarahs amazement old Butch had his bell in his beak so it couldnt ring Hed sneak up on a pul-
let do his job and walk on to the next one
Sarah was so proud of old Butch she entered him in a Show and he became an over-
night sensation among the judges
The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the No Bell Peace Prize they
also awarded him the Pulletsurprise as well
Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making Who else but a politician could figure
out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at
sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they werent paying
attention
We hope you voted carefully in the last election You cant always hear the bells

The Edmonton Eskimos are named for the Eskimo or Inuit of northern Canada While not located in the far north land of the Inuit the nickname Eskimos was likely adopted for the alliterative effect and as a reference to Edmontons northern location The original name was Esquimaux from 1897 to 1910 from the archaic French spelling Edmonton has faced some pressure in the past couple decades to change their team name most recently in 2011 and 2014 Edmonton has a long history of teams with the Eskimo name in hockey baseball and other sports

Gout
Gout a rheumatic disease which results from the deposition of uric acid crystals in tissues and fluids manifests as sudden severe attacks of pain The typical presentation of gout is tenderness and pain in the big toe but the patient may experience an atypical presentation where any joint can be affected Gout occurs as a result of urate production (either normal or excessive) and the kidneys lack of ability to process the urate and eliminate it from the body fast enough What the body cannot excrete it will store In the case of excess urate the body will attempt to store it in the joint spaces This will result in recurrent attacks of inflammation chronic arthropathy topaceous deposits and potentially uric acid nephrolithiasis
The cause of gout can be due to high uric acid levels (primary) or due to the result of another disease state medication or various other reasons such as dietary indiscretion (secondary) The majority of patients who experience gout will match the typical profile older obese male frequent alcohol intake hypertensive hyperlipidemic Patients who do not meet this profile may be misdiagnosed therefore be on the lookout for patients who may experience gouty arthritis related to medications or poor lifestyle choices Predisposing factors may include high consumption of meat seafood fatty or processed foods or alcohol Trauma surgery dehydration and some medications (diuretics aspirin) may also precipitate a gout attack
There are three clinical syndromes associated with gouty arthritis acute gouty arthritis intercritical gout (or interval gout) and chronic recurrent and tophaceous gout Acute gouty arthritis is characterized by severe pain redness and swelling which reach the maximum in 24 hours and dissipate after that usually completely resolving in a few days or a week As mentioned before the big toe is the typical site of involvement but any joint can be involved Lab tests performed during this period may be nonspecific for gout and uric acid levels maybe either high or low during an attack making the diagnosis difficult Aspiration of the joint space may produce urate crystals Once the acute period has subsided the patient is said to have entered the intercritical period which is the symptom free period between flares This is the time to draw uric acid levels and determine if the patient is an over producer or undereliminator of uric acid and to aspirate previously effected joints in the search for urate crystals Once the diagnosis of gouty arthritis has been made it is time to manage comorbid conditions eliminate the cause of hyperuricemia and initiate urate lowering medications Tophaceous deposits are the result of longer term untreated or undertreated gout high levels of serum urate diuretic use or treatment with cyclosporine Larger deposits of uric acid may be apparent by visual or tactile inspection or may be determined by radiography or MRI
Treatment for acute gout should be initiated as soon as gout flare symptoms are perceived by the patient Gout flares will resolve faster if treatment is initiated right away Because of this the patient and provider should discuss abortive therapies at the initial appointment and the patient should receive counseling on which therapies are appropriate to take immediately upon initiation of a flare Anti-inflammatory medications are the mainstay for treatment of an acute flare but may not be appropriate for all patients due to their renal and cardiovascular side effects Since time is of the essence when treating a gout flare over the counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications may be the medication of choice due to easy access Prescriptions for other medications should be filled as soon as received and kept on hand so therapy can be initiate as quickly as possible Colchicine glucocorticoids and interleukin inhibitors are other medications which may be appropriate to treat an acute gout flare
37
P A R A D I S E V I L L A G E N E W S
Once the initial flare has subsided and the diagnosis of gout has been made prevention strategies should be initiated These strategies include lifestyle modification management of comorbid disease states initiation of urate lowering therapies and prophylactic therapy Since weight loss and a healthy diet has been shown to decrease the risk for gout patients should be encouraged to choose a diet moderate in meat consumption and low in processed or fatty foods and alcohol If a medication is deemed to be the reason for gout every effort to choose an alternative medication should be made Urate lowering medications should be initiated to reduce recurrent attacks and bony formations as well as dissolve any tophi which may have formed Counsel the patient so that he or she understands that treatment for recurrent gout is continuous and lifelong Treatment options may include uricosuric agents which enhance uric acid excretion xanthine oxidase inhibitors which decrease urate formation and uricase enzymes which catalyze the conversion to allantoin a more soluble purine product The goal of therapy is to obtain and maintain a serum urate level of lt6 mgdL by slowly reducing the circulating urate by 1-2 mgdL per month If the patient fails to meet these goals check for adherence to the treatment and life style changes reevaluate the diagnosis or consider an alternative therapy
The keys to successful treatment of gout are proper hydration therapeutic life style changes adherence to treatment and the use of NSAIDS (colchicine or glucocorticoids) for quick resolution of an acute attack Treatment is lifelong but maintaining urate levels lt6 mgdL will result in tophi resolution over time and a reduction in acute attacks of gout As a result of following the treatment and lifestyle changes indicated above the patient may experience less frequent gout flares or may become free of flares all together leading to an improved quality of life

AND THEN IT WAS WINTER by Barb Prior
You knowhelliptime has a way of moving quickly and catching you
unaware of the passing years It seems just yesterday that I was young
just married and embarking on my new life Yet in a way it seems
like eons ago and I wonder where all the years went I know that I
have lived them all I have glimpses of how it was back then of all
my hopes and dreams But here it is the back nine of my life and it
catches me by surprise How did I get here so fast I remember seeing
older people through the years and thinking that those older people
were years away from me I was only on the first hole and the back
nine was so far off that I could not imagine what it would be like
But here it ismy friends are retired and getting grey They move
slower I remember when we were young and vibrant but like me
our age is beginning to show We are now those older folks
And so now I enter this new season of my life unprepared for all the
aches and pains the loss of strength and ability to do the things that I
wish I had done but never did Im now on the back nine of my life
and I dont know how long it will last
Yes I have regrets There are things I wish I hadnt donethings I
should have done but indeed there are many things Im happy to have
done Its all part of my lifetime
So if you are not yet on your back nine let me remind you it will be
here faster than you think Whatever you would like to accomplish in
your lifedo it Life goes by quickly
There are no promises that you will see all the seasons of your
life LIVE FOR TODAY
Tell your loved ones all the things you want them to remember and
hope they appreciate and love you for all the things you have done for
them through the years
Life is a gift The way you live your life is your gift to those who
come after Make it a fantastic one Its not what you gather but what
you scatter that tells what kind of life you have lived
Live well Enjoy today Be happy Health is the real wealth
Consider the following
Your kids are becoming you but your grandchildren are perfect
Going out is good coming home is better
You forget namesIts OK because other people forget the even knew
you
You realize yoursquore never going to be really good at any-
thingespecially golf
You sleep better in a lounge chair with the TV blaring than in bed
You miss the days when everything worked with just an ON and
OFF switch
You tend to use more four letter wordsWhat ldquoWhen
What used to be freckles are now liver spots
Everybody whispers
Old is good in some things Old songs Old movies Old friends
Stay well old friend Today is the oldest youve ever been yet the
youngest youll ever be So enjoy this day while it lasts

Angel Fingerprints by Barbara Ann Derksen (Paradise Resident)
Angels are a topic of conversation in many homes during the Christmas season We place them on Christmas tree tops and listen as children depicting angels in a Christmas pageant tell shepherds to go to Bethlehem to see the Savior
But do angels really exist Bob Kristensen was about to find out
The day was cool dry and sunny with a crisp feel to the air on this pre-Christmas day in 2001 Bob decided early that morning that he would cut some wood from a neighborrsquos yard She had a dead tree she wanted removed Bob had a hungry wood-eating furnace at home
Completing his regular work schedule early he headed towards the field tools in hand Bob a strong Christian had never encountered an angel knew little about their existence except what the Bible told him so spent very little time thinking about them at all Smiling with his mind on the task at hand and not on angels he slammed the door to his truck and headed toward the large tree
It leaned a little to the north As Bob stared up at it the forty or fifty foot height seemed to reach heaven He knew a good Maple when he saw one and with a girth of three feet Bob knew the tree had been there a long time It had been damaged during a storm so now this tree would feed his furnace for a month or more Bob swung his axe for the first cut
He expected since the tree was leaning north that it would fall in that direction so he notched the north side of the tree He moved around to the south side His chain saw cut into the old bark spewing sawdust in all directions Bob glanced at the top occasionally The tree swayed as he reached the center with his saw sharpened for just such a time as this Before he had time to react the tree fell not to the north as was expected but directly over the spot where he was standing Life did not have time to flash before his eyes as the huge trunk aimed for his head
As if in a flash he was laying on the ground about twelve feet from the base of that huge tree His left leg was underneath the tree where the trunk was bowed He wiggled his foot No pain He stood dusted himself off and checked for broken bones None As he looked again at the tree some men whorsquod been working nearby ran to his side With disbelief and amazement written all over their faces each one asked if he was okay several times
ldquoWhat happened Did any of you see what happenedrdquo Bob looked from one face to the other
The rougher much younger man scratched his head blinked a few times and then replied ldquoIt looked as if you were moving backward very fast but neither of your feet were touching the groundrdquo The man surmised there was a space of about two feet between Bobrsquos feet and the ground under them
That was when Bob began to think about angels really think about them for the first time He left the tree lying where it was and drove as fast as the law would allow toward home He felt giddy almost strange thinking could it be true Bobrsquos wife was not home when he got there and by this time even though he hadnrsquot felt anything hit him soreness began to make itself known in his left front shoulder He decided to investigate Pulling off his shirt he discovered a large bruise
The main part of the bruise was close to baseball size but the entire left side of his chest was swollen He shook his head The only souvenir of his encounter with a tree that probably weighed 3000 pounds was a big ugly bruise
Bob spoke about the incident with a friend later that evening As most of us want to do he began to logically explain his bruise as the remains of the treersquos encounter with his body His friend however posed a good question ldquoIf a three thousand pound tree fell on you and hit you on the chest how could you possibly have gotten out from under itrdquo Bob began to feel that giddy sense of the unknown again Maybe that bruise was from a heavenly hand after all

th
Bob decided to seek his pastorrsquos advice the next day after he saw the five smaller bruises four on the back of his shoulder and one beside the larger bruise
The Bible says that angels are created beings with high intelligencerdquo the pastor began ldquoThey have the abil-ity to make moral judgment but they are spiritual beings without physical bodies The Bible clearly says that there are angels who guard people although I am not convinced that there is necessarily a guardian angel assigned to each person The idea that people who die become angels is not biblical but more an inspira-tional idea and popularized in the movie industryrdquo
He went on to explain that in scripture angels are of a separate created order from mankind ldquoWhen human beings die those who go to heaven remain human beings Angels are created to serve the Lord and the Bible talks about them protecting man Psalm 9111 says For He will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways They will lift you up in their hands so you will not strike your foot against a stonerdquo
The Reverend went on to explain that there are angels like man who are fallen and that God through His Son has provided a redemption plan for man but not for angels
ldquoDo angels help some people but not othersrdquo Bob had a hard time accepting Godrsquos intervention in this situation
ldquoIt would appear so according to Gods higher purposerdquo the pastor answered
Bob went home His senses tingling he took another look at the bruises on his left shoulder Each of the smaller imprints looked like a bruise but was exactly the size of a fingerprint four on his back and one on the front of his shoulder just a little to the right of the large bruise noticed the day before He called his wife
ldquoJean place your hand over those bruisesrdquo He watched in the mirror as she stood in front of him When she placed her smaller palm over the large bruise her thumb and fingers almost fit the exact place where the other bruises lay Bob knew that his angel had moved him out of harmrsquos way He had the hand print to prove it
Bob walks daily with the knowledge that God cares specifically for those who love him He has not encountered another angel but he has experienced Godrsquos caring in other ways He also knows many who act as Godrsquos angels in human form and he hopes he has become one of them

Paul amp Linda Ratte - 11 Nature Drive - moved to Paradise Village from Transcona on October 23 2015 When I
went to visit them they were still trying to get settled in and found they hadnt downsized nearly enough That seems
to be problematic with a lot of us They have been looking for years for a place to retire to and found Paradise Vil-
lage to be exactly what they were looking for They like the countryside the peace and friendliness and enjoy their
own private home garden and yard We talked about all the activities and events held at the Rec Centre and Paul
said thats another thing that attracted them to Paradise Village - the Pool and the Rec Centre Paul is still actively
employed as an electrician for Freshwater Fish but can hardly wait until he retires next year Linda did odd jobs
throughout her life but was basically a stay-at-home mom They have 3 children and 9 grandchildren so did a fair
amount of babysitting which she treasured Lindas interests are bird watching cooking gardening and playing
bingo Paul plays hockey is a backyard mechanic and a jack-of-all trades kind of a guyHad a most enjoyable visit
with Paul and Linda and encouraged them to come out to some of the activities where they will be able to meet other
residents in our beautiful Paradise Village

Sarah was in the fertilized egg business She had several hundred young pullets and ten roosters to
fertilize the eggs She kept records and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was
replaced
This took a lot of time so she bought some tiny bells and attached them to her roosters Each bell
had a different tone so she could tell from a distance which rooster was performing Now she could
sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells
Sarahs favorite rooster old Butch was a very fine specimen but this morning she noticed old
Butchs bell hadnt rung at all When she went to investigate she saw the other roosters were busy
chasing pullets bells-a-ringing but the pullets hearing the roosters coming would run for cover
To Sarahs amazement old Butch had his bell in his beak so it couldnt ring Hed sneak up on a pul-
let do his job and walk on to the next one
Sarah was so proud of old Butch she entered him in a Show and he became an over-
night sensation among the judges
The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the No Bell Peace Prize they
also awarded him the Pulletsurprise as well
Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making Who else but a politician could figure
out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at
sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they werent paying
attention
We hope you voted carefully in the last election You cant always hear the bells

ldquoREDBLACKS represents Ottawas sports history and pays tribute to the Ottawa men and women who serve our country From the original Rough Riders in the 1890s to the modern Ottawa Senators Hockey Club red and black are the colours of Ottawa sport
The Edmonton Eskimos are named for the Eskimo or Inuit of northern Canada While not located in the far north land of the Inuit the nickname Eskimos was likely adopted for the alliterative effect and as a reference to Edmontons northern location The original name was Esquimaux from 1897 to 1910 from the archaic French spelling Edmonton has faced some pressure in the past couple decades to change their team name most recently in 2011 and 2014 Edmonton has a long history of teams with the Eskimo name in hockey baseball and other sports

Gout
Gout a rheumatic disease which results from the deposition of uric acid crystals in tissues and fluids manifests as sudden severe attacks of pain The typical presentation of gout is tenderness and pain in the big toe but the patient may experience an atypical presentation where any joint can be affected Gout occurs as a result of urate production (either normal or excessive) and the kidneys lack of ability to process the urate and eliminate it from the body fast enough What the body cannot excrete it will store In the case of excess urate the body will attempt to store it in the joint spaces This will result in recurrent attacks of inflammation chronic arthropathy topaceous deposits and potentially uric acid nephrolithiasis
The cause of gout can be due to high uric acid levels (primary) or due to the result of another disease state medication or various other reasons such as dietary indiscretion (secondary) The majority of patients who experience gout will match the typical profile older obese male frequent alcohol intake hypertensive hyperlipidemic Patients who do not meet this profile may be misdiagnosed therefore be on the lookout for patients who may experience gouty arthritis related to medications or poor lifestyle choices Predisposing factors may include high consumption of meat seafood fatty or processed foods or alcohol Trauma surgery dehydration and some medications (diuretics aspirin) may also precipitate a gout attack
There are three clinical syndromes associated with gouty arthritis acute gouty arthritis intercritical gout (or interval gout) and chronic recurrent and tophaceous gout Acute gouty arthritis is characterized by severe pain redness and swelling which reach the maximum in 24 hours and dissipate after that usually completely resolving in a few days or a week As mentioned before the big toe is the typical site of involvement but any joint can be involved Lab tests performed during this period may be nonspecific for gout and uric acid levels maybe either high or low during an attack making the diagnosis difficult Aspiration of the joint space may produce urate crystals Once the acute period has subsided the patient is said to have entered the intercritical period which is the symptom free period between flares This is the time to draw uric acid levels and determine if the patient is an over producer or undereliminator of uric acid and to aspirate previously effected joints in the search for urate crystals Once the diagnosis of gouty arthritis has been made it is time to manage comorbid conditions eliminate the cause of hyperuricemia and initiate urate lowering medications Tophaceous deposits are the result of longer term untreated or undertreated gout high levels of serum urate diuretic use or treatment with cyclosporine Larger deposits of uric acid may be apparent by visual or tactile inspection or may be determined by radiography or MRI
Treatment for acute gout should be initiated as soon as gout flare symptoms are perceived by the patient Gout flares will resolve faster if treatment is initiated right away Because of this the patient and provider should discuss abortive therapies at the initial appointment and the patient should receive counseling on which therapies are appropriate to take immediately upon initiation of a flare Anti-inflammatory medications are the mainstay for treatment of an acute flare but may not be appropriate for all patients due to their renal and cardiovascular side effects Since time is of the essence when treating a gout flare over the counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications may be the medication of choice due to easy access Prescriptions for other medications should be filled as soon as received and kept on hand so therapy can be initiate as quickly as possible Colchicine glucocorticoids and interleukin inhibitors are other medications which may be appropriate to treat an acute gout flare
37
P A R A D I S E V I L L A G E N E W S
Once the initial flare has subsided and the diagnosis of gout has been made prevention strategies should be initiated These strategies include lifestyle modification management of comorbid disease states initiation of urate lowering therapies and prophylactic therapy Since weight loss and a healthy diet has been shown to decrease the risk for gout patients should be encouraged to choose a diet moderate in meat consumption and low in processed or fatty foods and alcohol If a medication is deemed to be the reason for gout every effort to choose an alternative medication should be made Urate lowering medications should be initiated to reduce recurrent attacks and bony formations as well as dissolve any tophi which may have formed Counsel the patient so that he or she understands that treatment for recurrent gout is continuous and lifelong Treatment options may include uricosuric agents which enhance uric acid excretion xanthine oxidase inhibitors which decrease urate formation and uricase enzymes which catalyze the conversion to allantoin a more soluble purine product The goal of therapy is to obtain and maintain a serum urate level of lt6 mgdL by slowly reducing the circulating urate by 1-2 mgdL per month If the patient fails to meet these goals check for adherence to the treatment and life style changes reevaluate the diagnosis or consider an alternative therapy
The keys to successful treatment of gout are proper hydration therapeutic life style changes adherence to treatment and the use of NSAIDS (colchicine or glucocorticoids) for quick resolution of an acute attack Treatment is lifelong but maintaining urate levels lt6 mgdL will result in tophi resolution over time and a reduction in acute attacks of gout As a result of following the treatment and lifestyle changes indicated above the patient may experience less frequent gout flares or may become free of flares all together leading to an improved quality of life

Angel Fingerprints by Barbara Ann Derksen (Paradise Resident)
Angels are a topic of conversation in many homes during the Christmas season We place them on Christmas tree tops and listen as children depicting angels in a Christmas pageant tell shepherds to go to Bethlehem to see the Savior
But do angels really exist Bob Kristensen was about to find out
The day was cool dry and sunny with a crisp feel to the air on this pre-Christmas day in 2001 Bob decided early that morning that he would cut some wood from a neighborrsquos yard She had a dead tree she wanted removed Bob had a hungry wood-eating furnace at home
Completing his regular work schedule early he headed towards the field tools in hand Bob a strong Christian had never encountered an angel knew little about their existence except what the Bible told him so spent very little time thinking about them at all Smiling with his mind on the task at hand and not on angels he slammed the door to his truck and headed toward the large tree
It leaned a little to the north As Bob stared up at it the forty or fifty foot height seemed to reach heaven He knew a good Maple when he saw one and with a girth of three feet Bob knew the tree had been there a long time It had been damaged during a storm so now this tree would feed his furnace for a month or more Bob swung his axe for the first cut
He expected since the tree was leaning north that it would fall in that direction so he notched the north side of the tree He moved around to the south side His chain saw cut into the old bark spewing sawdust in all directions Bob glanced at the top occasionally The tree swayed as he reached the center with his saw sharpened for just such a time as this Before he had time to react the tree fell not to the north as was expected but directly over the spot where he was standing Life did not have time to flash before his eyes as the huge trunk aimed for his head
As if in a flash he was laying on the ground about twelve feet from the base of that huge tree His left leg was underneath the tree where the trunk was bowed He wiggled his foot No pain He stood dusted himself off and checked for broken bones None As he looked again at the tree some men whorsquod been working nearby ran to his side With disbelief and amazement written all over their faces each one asked if he was okay several times
ldquoWhat happened Did any of you see what happenedrdquo Bob looked from one face to the other
The rougher much younger man scratched his head blinked a few times and then replied ldquoIt looked as if you were moving backward very fast but neither of your feet were touching the groundrdquo The man surmised there was a space of about two feet between Bobrsquos feet and the ground under them
That was when Bob began to think about angels really think about them for the first time He left the tree lying where it was and drove as fast as the law would allow toward home He felt giddy almost strange thinking could it be true Bobrsquos wife was not home when he got there and by this time even though he hadnrsquot felt anything hit him soreness began to make itself known in his left front shoulder He decided to investigate Pulling off his shirt he discovered a large bruise
The main part of the bruise was close to baseball size but the entire left side of his chest was swollen He shook his head The only souvenir of his encounter with a tree that probably weighed 3000 pounds was a big ugly bruise
Bob spoke about the incident with a friend later that evening As most of us want to do he began to logically explain his bruise as the remains of the treersquos encounter with his body His friend however posed a good question ldquoIf a three thousand pound tree fell on you and hit you on the chest how could you possibly have gotten out from under itrdquo Bob began to feel that giddy sense of the unknown again Maybe that bruise was from a heavenly hand after all

th
Bob decided to seek his pastorrsquos advice the next day after he saw the five smaller bruises four on the back of his shoulder and one beside the larger bruise
The Bible says that angels are created beings with high intelligencerdquo the pastor began ldquoThey have the abil-ity to make moral judgment but they are spiritual beings without physical bodies The Bible clearly says that there are angels who guard people although I am not convinced that there is necessarily a guardian angel assigned to each person The idea that people who die become angels is not biblical but more an inspira-tional idea and popularized in the movie industryrdquo
He went on to explain that in scripture angels are of a separate created order from mankind ldquoWhen human beings die those who go to heaven remain human beings Angels are created to serve the Lord and the Bible talks about them protecting man Psalm 9111 says For He will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways They will lift you up in their hands so you will not strike your foot against a stonerdquo
The Reverend went on to explain that there are angels like man who are fallen and that God through His Son has provided a redemption plan for man but not for angels
ldquoDo angels help some people but not othersrdquo Bob had a hard time accepting Godrsquos intervention in this situation
ldquoIt would appear so according to Gods higher purposerdquo the pastor answered
Bob went home His senses tingling he took another look at the bruises on his left shoulder Each of the smaller imprints looked like a bruise but was exactly the size of a fingerprint four on his back and one on the front of his shoulder just a little to the right of the large bruise noticed the day before He called his wife
ldquoJean place your hand over those bruisesrdquo He watched in the mirror as she stood in front of him When she placed her smaller palm over the large bruise her thumb and fingers almost fit the exact place where the other bruises lay Bob knew that his angel had moved him out of harmrsquos way He had the hand print to prove it
Bob walks daily with the knowledge that God cares specifically for those who love him He has not encountered another angel but he has experienced Godrsquos caring in other ways He also knows many who act as Godrsquos angels in human form and he hopes he has become one of them

done a beautiful job of renovating the interior of their home while Pat has done wonders with the decorating They
have other plans but everything will get done before they officially move in before they retire What a talented
couple We had a great visit over a cup of coffee discussing all the events and activities that are offered in our
Village and at the Recreation Center They both work for WRE Development and have been there for 34 years Pat is
the property manager and Ray is the maintenance person Pats hobbies include decorating cooking reading and

Paul amp Linda Ratte - 11 Nature Drive - moved to Paradise Village from Transcona on October 23 2015 When I
went to visit them they were still trying to get settled in and found they hadnt downsized nearly enough That seems
to be problematic with a lot of us They have been looking for years for a place to retire to and found Paradise Vil-
lage to be exactly what they were looking for They like the countryside the peace and friendliness and enjoy their
own private home garden and yard We talked about all the activities and events held at the Rec Centre and Paul
said thats another thing that attracted them to Paradise Village - the Pool and the Rec Centre Paul is still actively
employed as an electrician for Freshwater Fish but can hardly wait until he retires next year Linda did odd jobs
throughout her life but was basically a stay-at-home mom They have 3 children and 9 grandchildren so did a fair
amount of babysitting which she treasured Lindas interests are bird watching cooking gardening and playing
bingo Paul plays hockey is a backyard mechanic and a jack-of-all trades kind of a guyHad a most enjoyable visit
with Paul and Linda and encouraged them to come out to some of the activities where they will be able to meet other
residents in our beautiful Paradise Village

Sarah was in the fertilized egg business She had several hundred young pullets and ten roosters to
fertilize the eggs She kept records and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was
replaced
This took a lot of time so she bought some tiny bells and attached them to her roosters Each bell
had a different tone so she could tell from a distance which rooster was performing Now she could
sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells
Sarahs favorite rooster old Butch was a very fine specimen but this morning she noticed old
Butchs bell hadnt rung at all When she went to investigate she saw the other roosters were busy
chasing pullets bells-a-ringing but the pullets hearing the roosters coming would run for cover
To Sarahs amazement old Butch had his bell in his beak so it couldnt ring Hed sneak up on a pul-
let do his job and walk on to the next one
Sarah was so proud of old Butch she entered him in a Show and he became an over-
night sensation among the judges
The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the No Bell Peace Prize they
also awarded him the Pulletsurprise as well
Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making Who else but a politician could figure
out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at
sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they werent paying
attention
We hope you voted carefully in the last election You cant always hear the bells

ldquoREDBLACKS represents Ottawas sports history and pays tribute to the Ottawa men and women who serve our country From the original Rough Riders in the 1890s to the modern Ottawa Senators Hockey Club red and black are the colours of Ottawa sport
The Edmonton Eskimos are named for the Eskimo or Inuit of northern Canada While not located in the far north land of the Inuit the nickname Eskimos was likely adopted for the alliterative effect and as a reference to Edmontons northern location The original name was Esquimaux from 1897 to 1910 from the archaic French spelling Edmonton has faced some pressure in the past couple decades to change their team name most recently in 2011 and 2014 Edmonton has a long history of teams with the Eskimo name in hockey baseball and other sports

Gout
Gout a rheumatic disease which results from the deposition of uric acid crystals in tissues and fluids manifests as sudden severe attacks of pain The typical presentation of gout is tenderness and pain in the big toe but the patient may experience an atypical presentation where any joint can be affected Gout occurs as a result of urate production (either normal or excessive) and the kidneys lack of ability to process the urate and eliminate it from the body fast enough What the body cannot excrete it will store In the case of excess urate the body will attempt to store it in the joint spaces This will result in recurrent attacks of inflammation chronic arthropathy topaceous deposits and potentially uric acid nephrolithiasis
The cause of gout can be due to high uric acid levels (primary) or due to the result of another disease state medication or various other reasons such as dietary indiscretion (secondary) The majority of patients who experience gout will match the typical profile older obese male frequent alcohol intake hypertensive hyperlipidemic Patients who do not meet this profile may be misdiagnosed therefore be on the lookout for patients who may experience gouty arthritis related to medications or poor lifestyle choices Predisposing factors may include high consumption of meat seafood fatty or processed foods or alcohol Trauma surgery dehydration and some medications (diuretics aspirin) may also precipitate a gout attack
There are three clinical syndromes associated with gouty arthritis acute gouty arthritis intercritical gout (or interval gout) and chronic recurrent and tophaceous gout Acute gouty arthritis is characterized by severe pain redness and swelling which reach the maximum in 24 hours and dissipate after that usually completely resolving in a few days or a week As mentioned before the big toe is the typical site of involvement but any joint can be involved Lab tests performed during this period may be nonspecific for gout and uric acid levels maybe either high or low during an attack making the diagnosis difficult Aspiration of the joint space may produce urate crystals Once the acute period has subsided the patient is said to have entered the intercritical period which is the symptom free period between flares This is the time to draw uric acid levels and determine if the patient is an over producer or undereliminator of uric acid and to aspirate previously effected joints in the search for urate crystals Once the diagnosis of gouty arthritis has been made it is time to manage comorbid conditions eliminate the cause of hyperuricemia and initiate urate lowering medications Tophaceous deposits are the result of longer term untreated or undertreated gout high levels of serum urate diuretic use or treatment with cyclosporine Larger deposits of uric acid may be apparent by visual or tactile inspection or may be determined by radiography or MRI
Treatment for acute gout should be initiated as soon as gout flare symptoms are perceived by the patient Gout flares will resolve faster if treatment is initiated right away Because of this the patient and provider should discuss abortive therapies at the initial appointment and the patient should receive counseling on which therapies are appropriate to take immediately upon initiation of a flare Anti-inflammatory medications are the mainstay for treatment of an acute flare but may not be appropriate for all patients due to their renal and cardiovascular side effects Since time is of the essence when treating a gout flare over the counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications may be the medication of choice due to easy access Prescriptions for other medications should be filled as soon as received and kept on hand so therapy can be initiate as quickly as possible Colchicine glucocorticoids and interleukin inhibitors are other medications which may be appropriate to treat an acute gout flare
37
P A R A D I S E V I L L A G E N E W S
Once the initial flare has subsided and the diagnosis of gout has been made prevention strategies should be initiated These strategies include lifestyle modification management of comorbid disease states initiation of urate lowering therapies and prophylactic therapy Since weight loss and a healthy diet has been shown to decrease the risk for gout patients should be encouraged to choose a diet moderate in meat consumption and low in processed or fatty foods and alcohol If a medication is deemed to be the reason for gout every effort to choose an alternative medication should be made Urate lowering medications should be initiated to reduce recurrent attacks and bony formations as well as dissolve any tophi which may have formed Counsel the patient so that he or she understands that treatment for recurrent gout is continuous and lifelong Treatment options may include uricosuric agents which enhance uric acid excretion xanthine oxidase inhibitors which decrease urate formation and uricase enzymes which catalyze the conversion to allantoin a more soluble purine product The goal of therapy is to obtain and maintain a serum urate level of lt6 mgdL by slowly reducing the circulating urate by 1-2 mgdL per month If the patient fails to meet these goals check for adherence to the treatment and life style changes reevaluate the diagnosis or consider an alternative therapy
The keys to successful treatment of gout are proper hydration therapeutic life style changes adherence to treatment and the use of NSAIDS (colchicine or glucocorticoids) for quick resolution of an acute attack Treatment is lifelong but maintaining urate levels lt6 mgdL will result in tophi resolution over time and a reduction in acute attacks of gout As a result of following the treatment and lifestyle changes indicated above the patient may experience less frequent gout flares or may become free of flares all together leading to an improved quality of life

Angel Fingerprints by Barbara Ann Derksen (Paradise Resident)
Angels are a topic of conversation in many homes during the Christmas season We place them on Christmas tree tops and listen as children depicting angels in a Christmas pageant tell shepherds to go to Bethlehem to see the Savior
But do angels really exist Bob Kristensen was about to find out
The day was cool dry and sunny with a crisp feel to the air on this pre-Christmas day in 2001 Bob decided early that morning that he would cut some wood from a neighborrsquos yard She had a dead tree she wanted removed Bob had a hungry wood-eating furnace at home
Completing his regular work schedule early he headed towards the field tools in hand Bob a strong Christian had never encountered an angel knew little about their existence except what the Bible told him so spent very little time thinking about them at all Smiling with his mind on the task at hand and not on angels he slammed the door to his truck and headed toward the large tree
It leaned a little to the north As Bob stared up at it the forty or fifty foot height seemed to reach heaven He knew a good Maple when he saw one and with a girth of three feet Bob knew the tree had been there a long time It had been damaged during a storm so now this tree would feed his furnace for a month or more Bob swung his axe for the first cut
He expected since the tree was leaning north that it would fall in that direction so he notched the north side of the tree He moved around to the south side His chain saw cut into the old bark spewing sawdust in all directions Bob glanced at the top occasionally The tree swayed as he reached the center with his saw sharpened for just such a time as this Before he had time to react the tree fell not to the north as was expected but directly over the spot where he was standing Life did not have time to flash before his eyes as the huge trunk aimed for his head
As if in a flash he was laying on the ground about twelve feet from the base of that huge tree His left leg was underneath the tree where the trunk was bowed He wiggled his foot No pain He stood dusted himself off and checked for broken bones None As he looked again at the tree some men whorsquod been working nearby ran to his side With disbelief and amazement written all over their faces each one asked if he was okay several times
ldquoWhat happened Did any of you see what happenedrdquo Bob looked from one face to the other
The rougher much younger man scratched his head blinked a few times and then replied ldquoIt looked as if you were moving backward very fast but neither of your feet were touching the groundrdquo The man surmised there was a space of about two feet between Bobrsquos feet and the ground under them
That was when Bob began to think about angels really think about them for the first time He left the tree lying where it was and drove as fast as the law would allow toward home He felt giddy almost strange thinking could it be true Bobrsquos wife was not home when he got there and by this time even though he hadnrsquot felt anything hit him soreness began to make itself known in his left front shoulder He decided to investigate Pulling off his shirt he discovered a large bruise
The main part of the bruise was close to baseball size but the entire left side of his chest was swollen He shook his head The only souvenir of his encounter with a tree that probably weighed 3000 pounds was a big ugly bruise
Bob spoke about the incident with a friend later that evening As most of us want to do he began to logically explain his bruise as the remains of the treersquos encounter with his body His friend however posed a good question ldquoIf a three thousand pound tree fell on you and hit you on the chest how could you possibly have gotten out from under itrdquo Bob began to feel that giddy sense of the unknown again Maybe that bruise was from a heavenly hand after all

th
Bob decided to seek his pastorrsquos advice the next day after he saw the five smaller bruises four on the back of his shoulder and one beside the larger bruise
The Bible says that angels are created beings with high intelligencerdquo the pastor began ldquoThey have the abil-ity to make moral judgment but they are spiritual beings without physical bodies The Bible clearly says that there are angels who guard people although I am not convinced that there is necessarily a guardian angel assigned to each person The idea that people who die become angels is not biblical but more an inspira-tional idea and popularized in the movie industryrdquo
He went on to explain that in scripture angels are of a separate created order from mankind ldquoWhen human beings die those who go to heaven remain human beings Angels are created to serve the Lord and the Bible talks about them protecting man Psalm 9111 says For He will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways They will lift you up in their hands so you will not strike your foot against a stonerdquo
The Reverend went on to explain that there are angels like man who are fallen and that God through His Son has provided a redemption plan for man but not for angels
ldquoDo angels help some people but not othersrdquo Bob had a hard time accepting Godrsquos intervention in this situation
ldquoIt would appear so according to Gods higher purposerdquo the pastor answered
Bob went home His senses tingling he took another look at the bruises on his left shoulder Each of the smaller imprints looked like a bruise but was exactly the size of a fingerprint four on his back and one on the front of his shoulder just a little to the right of the large bruise noticed the day before He called his wife
ldquoJean place your hand over those bruisesrdquo He watched in the mirror as she stood in front of him When she placed her smaller palm over the large bruise her thumb and fingers almost fit the exact place where the other bruises lay Bob knew that his angel had moved him out of harmrsquos way He had the hand print to prove it
Bob walks daily with the knowledge that God cares specifically for those who love him He has not encountered another angel but he has experienced Godrsquos caring in other ways He also knows many who act as Godrsquos angels in human form and he hopes he has become one of them

Village and at the Recreation Center They both work for WRE Development and have been there for 34 years Pat is
the property manager and Ray is the maintenance person Pats hobbies include decorating cooking reading and
music Ray likes to play pool play music swim paint and is a jack-of-all trades Between them there are 4 children
and 8 grandchildren Their family is very important to them and they spend as much time as they can with them
Again Ray and Pat I would like to welcome you to our beautiful Paradise Village and hope to see you soon at some of
the events that are held here This is a good time to meet some of the other residents

2015 They are absolutely happy with their move They love the 55 plus lifestyle the friendliness the peaceful
setting and they also have friends living in Paradise Village It is for all these reasons that they moved here They

Paul amp Linda Ratte - 11 Nature Drive - moved to Paradise Village from Transcona on October 23 2015 When I
went to visit them they were still trying to get settled in and found they hadnt downsized nearly enough That seems
to be problematic with a lot of us They have been looking for years for a place to retire to and found Paradise Vil-
lage to be exactly what they were looking for They like the countryside the peace and friendliness and enjoy their
own private home garden and yard We talked about all the activities and events held at the Rec Centre and Paul
said thats another thing that attracted them to Paradise Village - the Pool and the Rec Centre Paul is still actively
employed as an electrician for Freshwater Fish but can hardly wait until he retires next year Linda did odd jobs
throughout her life but was basically a stay-at-home mom They have 3 children and 9 grandchildren so did a fair
amount of babysitting which she treasured Lindas interests are bird watching cooking gardening and playing
bingo Paul plays hockey is a backyard mechanic and a jack-of-all trades kind of a guyHad a most enjoyable visit
with Paul and Linda and encouraged them to come out to some of the activities where they will be able to meet other
residents in our beautiful Paradise Village

Sarah was in the fertilized egg business She had several hundred young pullets and ten roosters to
fertilize the eggs She kept records and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was
replaced
This took a lot of time so she bought some tiny bells and attached them to her roosters Each bell
had a different tone so she could tell from a distance which rooster was performing Now she could
sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells
Sarahs favorite rooster old Butch was a very fine specimen but this morning she noticed old
Butchs bell hadnt rung at all When she went to investigate she saw the other roosters were busy
chasing pullets bells-a-ringing but the pullets hearing the roosters coming would run for cover
To Sarahs amazement old Butch had his bell in his beak so it couldnt ring Hed sneak up on a pul-
let do his job and walk on to the next one
Sarah was so proud of old Butch she entered him in a Show and he became an over-
night sensation among the judges
The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the No Bell Peace Prize they
also awarded him the Pulletsurprise as well
Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making Who else but a politician could figure
out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at
sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they werent paying
attention
We hope you voted carefully in the last election You cant always hear the bells

ldquoREDBLACKS represents Ottawas sports history and pays tribute to the Ottawa men and women who serve our country From the original Rough Riders in the 1890s to the modern Ottawa Senators Hockey Club red and black are the colours of Ottawa sport
The Edmonton Eskimos are named for the Eskimo or Inuit of northern Canada While not located in the far north land of the Inuit the nickname Eskimos was likely adopted for the alliterative effect and as a reference to Edmontons northern location The original name was Esquimaux from 1897 to 1910 from the archaic French spelling Edmonton has faced some pressure in the past couple decades to change their team name most recently in 2011 and 2014 Edmonton has a long history of teams with the Eskimo name in hockey baseball and other sports

Gout
Gout a rheumatic disease which results from the deposition of uric acid crystals in tissues and fluids manifests as sudden severe attacks of pain The typical presentation of gout is tenderness and pain in the big toe but the patient may experience an atypical presentation where any joint can be affected Gout occurs as a result of urate production (either normal or excessive) and the kidneys lack of ability to process the urate and eliminate it from the body fast enough What the body cannot excrete it will store In the case of excess urate the body will attempt to store it in the joint spaces This will result in recurrent attacks of inflammation chronic arthropathy topaceous deposits and potentially uric acid nephrolithiasis
The cause of gout can be due to high uric acid levels (primary) or due to the result of another disease state medication or various other reasons such as dietary indiscretion (secondary) The majority of patients who experience gout will match the typical profile older obese male frequent alcohol intake hypertensive hyperlipidemic Patients who do not meet this profile may be misdiagnosed therefore be on the lookout for patients who may experience gouty arthritis related to medications or poor lifestyle choices Predisposing factors may include high consumption of meat seafood fatty or processed foods or alcohol Trauma surgery dehydration and some medications (diuretics aspirin) may also precipitate a gout attack
There are three clinical syndromes associated with gouty arthritis acute gouty arthritis intercritical gout (or interval gout) and chronic recurrent and tophaceous gout Acute gouty arthritis is characterized by severe pain redness and swelling which reach the maximum in 24 hours and dissipate after that usually completely resolving in a few days or a week As mentioned before the big toe is the typical site of involvement but any joint can be involved Lab tests performed during this period may be nonspecific for gout and uric acid levels maybe either high or low during an attack making the diagnosis difficult Aspiration of the joint space may produce urate crystals Once the acute period has subsided the patient is said to have entered the intercritical period which is the symptom free period between flares This is the time to draw uric acid levels and determine if the patient is an over producer or undereliminator of uric acid and to aspirate previously effected joints in the search for urate crystals Once the diagnosis of gouty arthritis has been made it is time to manage comorbid conditions eliminate the cause of hyperuricemia and initiate urate lowering medications Tophaceous deposits are the result of longer term untreated or undertreated gout high levels of serum urate diuretic use or treatment with cyclosporine Larger deposits of uric acid may be apparent by visual or tactile inspection or may be determined by radiography or MRI
Treatment for acute gout should be initiated as soon as gout flare symptoms are perceived by the patient Gout flares will resolve faster if treatment is initiated right away Because of this the patient and provider should discuss abortive therapies at the initial appointment and the patient should receive counseling on which therapies are appropriate to take immediately upon initiation of a flare Anti-inflammatory medications are the mainstay for treatment of an acute flare but may not be appropriate for all patients due to their renal and cardiovascular side effects Since time is of the essence when treating a gout flare over the counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications may be the medication of choice due to easy access Prescriptions for other medications should be filled as soon as received and kept on hand so therapy can be initiate as quickly as possible Colchicine glucocorticoids and interleukin inhibitors are other medications which may be appropriate to treat an acute gout flare
37
P A R A D I S E V I L L A G E N E W S
Once the initial flare has subsided and the diagnosis of gout has been made prevention strategies should be initiated These strategies include lifestyle modification management of comorbid disease states initiation of urate lowering therapies and prophylactic therapy Since weight loss and a healthy diet has been shown to decrease the risk for gout patients should be encouraged to choose a diet moderate in meat consumption and low in processed or fatty foods and alcohol If a medication is deemed to be the reason for gout every effort to choose an alternative medication should be made Urate lowering medications should be initiated to reduce recurrent attacks and bony formations as well as dissolve any tophi which may have formed Counsel the patient so that he or she understands that treatment for recurrent gout is continuous and lifelong Treatment options may include uricosuric agents which enhance uric acid excretion xanthine oxidase inhibitors which decrease urate formation and uricase enzymes which catalyze the conversion to allantoin a more soluble purine product The goal of therapy is to obtain and maintain a serum urate level of lt6 mgdL by slowly reducing the circulating urate by 1-2 mgdL per month If the patient fails to meet these goals check for adherence to the treatment and life style changes reevaluate the diagnosis or consider an alternative therapy
The keys to successful treatment of gout are proper hydration therapeutic life style changes adherence to treatment and the use of NSAIDS (colchicine or glucocorticoids) for quick resolution of an acute attack Treatment is lifelong but maintaining urate levels lt6 mgdL will result in tophi resolution over time and a reduction in acute attacks of gout As a result of following the treatment and lifestyle changes indicated above the patient may experience less frequent gout flares or may become free of flares all together leading to an improved quality of life

Angel Fingerprints by Barbara Ann Derksen (Paradise Resident)
Angels are a topic of conversation in many homes during the Christmas season We place them on Christmas tree tops and listen as children depicting angels in a Christmas pageant tell shepherds to go to Bethlehem to see the Savior
But do angels really exist Bob Kristensen was about to find out
The day was cool dry and sunny with a crisp feel to the air on this pre-Christmas day in 2001 Bob decided early that morning that he would cut some wood from a neighborrsquos yard She had a dead tree she wanted removed Bob had a hungry wood-eating furnace at home
Completing his regular work schedule early he headed towards the field tools in hand Bob a strong Christian had never encountered an angel knew little about their existence except what the Bible told him so spent very little time thinking about them at all Smiling with his mind on the task at hand and not on angels he slammed the door to his truck and headed toward the large tree
It leaned a little to the north As Bob stared up at it the forty or fifty foot height seemed to reach heaven He knew a good Maple when he saw one and with a girth of three feet Bob knew the tree had been there a long time It had been damaged during a storm so now this tree would feed his furnace for a month or more Bob swung his axe for the first cut
He expected since the tree was leaning north that it would fall in that direction so he notched the north side of the tree He moved around to the south side His chain saw cut into the old bark spewing sawdust in all directions Bob glanced at the top occasionally The tree swayed as he reached the center with his saw sharpened for just such a time as this Before he had time to react the tree fell not to the north as was expected but directly over the spot where he was standing Life did not have time to flash before his eyes as the huge trunk aimed for his head
As if in a flash he was laying on the ground about twelve feet from the base of that huge tree His left leg was underneath the tree where the trunk was bowed He wiggled his foot No pain He stood dusted himself off and checked for broken bones None As he looked again at the tree some men whorsquod been working nearby ran to his side With disbelief and amazement written all over their faces each one asked if he was okay several times
ldquoWhat happened Did any of you see what happenedrdquo Bob looked from one face to the other
The rougher much younger man scratched his head blinked a few times and then replied ldquoIt looked as if you were moving backward very fast but neither of your feet were touching the groundrdquo The man surmised there was a space of about two feet between Bobrsquos feet and the ground under them
That was when Bob began to think about angels really think about them for the first time He left the tree lying where it was and drove as fast as the law would allow toward home He felt giddy almost strange thinking could it be true Bobrsquos wife was not home when he got there and by this time even though he hadnrsquot felt anything hit him soreness began to make itself known in his left front shoulder He decided to investigate Pulling off his shirt he discovered a large bruise
The main part of the bruise was close to baseball size but the entire left side of his chest was swollen He shook his head The only souvenir of his encounter with a tree that probably weighed 3000 pounds was a big ugly bruise
Bob spoke about the incident with a friend later that evening As most of us want to do he began to logically explain his bruise as the remains of the treersquos encounter with his body His friend however posed a good question ldquoIf a three thousand pound tree fell on you and hit you on the chest how could you possibly have gotten out from under itrdquo Bob began to feel that giddy sense of the unknown again Maybe that bruise was from a heavenly hand after all

th
Bob decided to seek his pastorrsquos advice the next day after he saw the five smaller bruises four on the back of his shoulder and one beside the larger bruise
The Bible says that angels are created beings with high intelligencerdquo the pastor began ldquoThey have the abil-ity to make moral judgment but they are spiritual beings without physical bodies The Bible clearly says that there are angels who guard people although I am not convinced that there is necessarily a guardian angel assigned to each person The idea that people who die become angels is not biblical but more an inspira-tional idea and popularized in the movie industryrdquo
He went on to explain that in scripture angels are of a separate created order from mankind ldquoWhen human beings die those who go to heaven remain human beings Angels are created to serve the Lord and the Bible talks about them protecting man Psalm 9111 says For He will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways They will lift you up in their hands so you will not strike your foot against a stonerdquo
The Reverend went on to explain that there are angels like man who are fallen and that God through His Son has provided a redemption plan for man but not for angels
ldquoDo angels help some people but not othersrdquo Bob had a hard time accepting Godrsquos intervention in this situation
ldquoIt would appear so according to Gods higher purposerdquo the pastor answered
Bob went home His senses tingling he took another look at the bruises on his left shoulder Each of the smaller imprints looked like a bruise but was exactly the size of a fingerprint four on his back and one on the front of his shoulder just a little to the right of the large bruise noticed the day before He called his wife
ldquoJean place your hand over those bruisesrdquo He watched in the mirror as she stood in front of him When she placed her smaller palm over the large bruise her thumb and fingers almost fit the exact place where the other bruises lay Bob knew that his angel had moved him out of harmrsquos way He had the hand print to prove it
Bob walks daily with the knowledge that God cares specifically for those who love him He has not encountered another angel but he has experienced Godrsquos caring in other ways He also knows many who act as Godrsquos angels in human form and he hopes he has become one of them

lage to be exactly what they were looking for They like the countryside the peace and friendliness and enjoy their
own private home garden and yard We talked about all the activities and events held at the Rec Centre and Paul
said thats another thing that attracted them to Paradise Village - the Pool and the Rec Centre Paul is still actively
employed as an electrician for Freshwater Fish but can hardly wait until he retires next year Linda did odd jobs
throughout her life but was basically a stay-at-home mom They have 3 children and 9 grandchildren so did a fair
amount of babysitting which she treasured Lindas interests are bird watching cooking gardening and playing
bingo Paul plays hockey is a backyard mechanic and a jack-of-all trades kind of a guyHad a most enjoyable visit
with Paul and Linda and encouraged them to come out to some of the activities where they will be able to meet other
residents in our beautiful Paradise Village

Sarah was in the fertilized egg business She had several hundred young pullets and ten roosters to
fertilize the eggs She kept records and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was
replaced
This took a lot of time so she bought some tiny bells and attached them to her roosters Each bell
had a different tone so she could tell from a distance which rooster was performing Now she could
sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells
Sarahs favorite rooster old Butch was a very fine specimen but this morning she noticed old
Butchs bell hadnt rung at all When she went to investigate she saw the other roosters were busy
chasing pullets bells-a-ringing but the pullets hearing the roosters coming would run for cover
To Sarahs amazement old Butch had his bell in his beak so it couldnt ring Hed sneak up on a pul-
let do his job and walk on to the next one
Sarah was so proud of old Butch she entered him in a Show and he became an over-
night sensation among the judges
The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the No Bell Peace Prize they
also awarded him the Pulletsurprise as well
Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making Who else but a politician could figure
out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at
sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they werent paying
attention
We hope you voted carefully in the last election You cant always hear the bells

ldquoREDBLACKS represents Ottawas sports history and pays tribute to the Ottawa men and women who serve our country From the original Rough Riders in the 1890s to the modern Ottawa Senators Hockey Club red and black are the colours of Ottawa sport
The Edmonton Eskimos are named for the Eskimo or Inuit of northern Canada While not located in the far north land of the Inuit the nickname Eskimos was likely adopted for the alliterative effect and as a reference to Edmontons northern location The original name was Esquimaux from 1897 to 1910 from the archaic French spelling Edmonton has faced some pressure in the past couple decades to change their team name most recently in 2011 and 2014 Edmonton has a long history of teams with the Eskimo name in hockey baseball and other sports

Gout
Gout a rheumatic disease which results from the deposition of uric acid crystals in tissues and fluids manifests as sudden severe attacks of pain The typical presentation of gout is tenderness and pain in the big toe but the patient may experience an atypical presentation where any joint can be affected Gout occurs as a result of urate production (either normal or excessive) and the kidneys lack of ability to process the urate and eliminate it from the body fast enough What the body cannot excrete it will store In the case of excess urate the body will attempt to store it in the joint spaces This will result in recurrent attacks of inflammation chronic arthropathy topaceous deposits and potentially uric acid nephrolithiasis
The cause of gout can be due to high uric acid levels (primary) or due to the result of another disease state medication or various other reasons such as dietary indiscretion (secondary) The majority of patients who experience gout will match the typical profile older obese male frequent alcohol intake hypertensive hyperlipidemic Patients who do not meet this profile may be misdiagnosed therefore be on the lookout for patients who may experience gouty arthritis related to medications or poor lifestyle choices Predisposing factors may include high consumption of meat seafood fatty or processed foods or alcohol Trauma surgery dehydration and some medications (diuretics aspirin) may also precipitate a gout attack
There are three clinical syndromes associated with gouty arthritis acute gouty arthritis intercritical gout (or interval gout) and chronic recurrent and tophaceous gout Acute gouty arthritis is characterized by severe pain redness and swelling which reach the maximum in 24 hours and dissipate after that usually completely resolving in a few days or a week As mentioned before the big toe is the typical site of involvement but any joint can be involved Lab tests performed during this period may be nonspecific for gout and uric acid levels maybe either high or low during an attack making the diagnosis difficult Aspiration of the joint space may produce urate crystals Once the acute period has subsided the patient is said to have entered the intercritical period which is the symptom free period between flares This is the time to draw uric acid levels and determine if the patient is an over producer or undereliminator of uric acid and to aspirate previously effected joints in the search for urate crystals Once the diagnosis of gouty arthritis has been made it is time to manage comorbid conditions eliminate the cause of hyperuricemia and initiate urate lowering medications Tophaceous deposits are the result of longer term untreated or undertreated gout high levels of serum urate diuretic use or treatment with cyclosporine Larger deposits of uric acid may be apparent by visual or tactile inspection or may be determined by radiography or MRI
Treatment for acute gout should be initiated as soon as gout flare symptoms are perceived by the patient Gout flares will resolve faster if treatment is initiated right away Because of this the patient and provider should discuss abortive therapies at the initial appointment and the patient should receive counseling on which therapies are appropriate to take immediately upon initiation of a flare Anti-inflammatory medications are the mainstay for treatment of an acute flare but may not be appropriate for all patients due to their renal and cardiovascular side effects Since time is of the essence when treating a gout flare over the counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications may be the medication of choice due to easy access Prescriptions for other medications should be filled as soon as received and kept on hand so therapy can be initiate as quickly as possible Colchicine glucocorticoids and interleukin inhibitors are other medications which may be appropriate to treat an acute gout flare
37
P A R A D I S E V I L L A G E N E W S
Once the initial flare has subsided and the diagnosis of gout has been made prevention strategies should be initiated These strategies include lifestyle modification management of comorbid disease states initiation of urate lowering therapies and prophylactic therapy Since weight loss and a healthy diet has been shown to decrease the risk for gout patients should be encouraged to choose a diet moderate in meat consumption and low in processed or fatty foods and alcohol If a medication is deemed to be the reason for gout every effort to choose an alternative medication should be made Urate lowering medications should be initiated to reduce recurrent attacks and bony formations as well as dissolve any tophi which may have formed Counsel the patient so that he or she understands that treatment for recurrent gout is continuous and lifelong Treatment options may include uricosuric agents which enhance uric acid excretion xanthine oxidase inhibitors which decrease urate formation and uricase enzymes which catalyze the conversion to allantoin a more soluble purine product The goal of therapy is to obtain and maintain a serum urate level of lt6 mgdL by slowly reducing the circulating urate by 1-2 mgdL per month If the patient fails to meet these goals check for adherence to the treatment and life style changes reevaluate the diagnosis or consider an alternative therapy
The keys to successful treatment of gout are proper hydration therapeutic life style changes adherence to treatment and the use of NSAIDS (colchicine or glucocorticoids) for quick resolution of an acute attack Treatment is lifelong but maintaining urate levels lt6 mgdL will result in tophi resolution over time and a reduction in acute attacks of gout As a result of following the treatment and lifestyle changes indicated above the patient may experience less frequent gout flares or may become free of flares all together leading to an improved quality of life

Angel Fingerprints by Barbara Ann Derksen (Paradise Resident)
Angels are a topic of conversation in many homes during the Christmas season We place them on Christmas tree tops and listen as children depicting angels in a Christmas pageant tell shepherds to go to Bethlehem to see the Savior
But do angels really exist Bob Kristensen was about to find out
The day was cool dry and sunny with a crisp feel to the air on this pre-Christmas day in 2001 Bob decided early that morning that he would cut some wood from a neighborrsquos yard She had a dead tree she wanted removed Bob had a hungry wood-eating furnace at home
Completing his regular work schedule early he headed towards the field tools in hand Bob a strong Christian had never encountered an angel knew little about their existence except what the Bible told him so spent very little time thinking about them at all Smiling with his mind on the task at hand and not on angels he slammed the door to his truck and headed toward the large tree
It leaned a little to the north As Bob stared up at it the forty or fifty foot height seemed to reach heaven He knew a good Maple when he saw one and with a girth of three feet Bob knew the tree had been there a long time It had been damaged during a storm so now this tree would feed his furnace for a month or more Bob swung his axe for the first cut
He expected since the tree was leaning north that it would fall in that direction so he notched the north side of the tree He moved around to the south side His chain saw cut into the old bark spewing sawdust in all directions Bob glanced at the top occasionally The tree swayed as he reached the center with his saw sharpened for just such a time as this Before he had time to react the tree fell not to the north as was expected but directly over the spot where he was standing Life did not have time to flash before his eyes as the huge trunk aimed for his head
As if in a flash he was laying on the ground about twelve feet from the base of that huge tree His left leg was underneath the tree where the trunk was bowed He wiggled his foot No pain He stood dusted himself off and checked for broken bones None As he looked again at the tree some men whorsquod been working nearby ran to his side With disbelief and amazement written all over their faces each one asked if he was okay several times
ldquoWhat happened Did any of you see what happenedrdquo Bob looked from one face to the other
The rougher much younger man scratched his head blinked a few times and then replied ldquoIt looked as if you were moving backward very fast but neither of your feet were touching the groundrdquo The man surmised there was a space of about two feet between Bobrsquos feet and the ground under them
That was when Bob began to think about angels really think about them for the first time He left the tree lying where it was and drove as fast as the law would allow toward home He felt giddy almost strange thinking could it be true Bobrsquos wife was not home when he got there and by this time even though he hadnrsquot felt anything hit him soreness began to make itself known in his left front shoulder He decided to investigate Pulling off his shirt he discovered a large bruise
The main part of the bruise was close to baseball size but the entire left side of his chest was swollen He shook his head The only souvenir of his encounter with a tree that probably weighed 3000 pounds was a big ugly bruise
Bob spoke about the incident with a friend later that evening As most of us want to do he began to logically explain his bruise as the remains of the treersquos encounter with his body His friend however posed a good question ldquoIf a three thousand pound tree fell on you and hit you on the chest how could you possibly have gotten out from under itrdquo Bob began to feel that giddy sense of the unknown again Maybe that bruise was from a heavenly hand after all

th
Bob decided to seek his pastorrsquos advice the next day after he saw the five smaller bruises four on the back of his shoulder and one beside the larger bruise
The Bible says that angels are created beings with high intelligencerdquo the pastor began ldquoThey have the abil-ity to make moral judgment but they are spiritual beings without physical bodies The Bible clearly says that there are angels who guard people although I am not convinced that there is necessarily a guardian angel assigned to each person The idea that people who die become angels is not biblical but more an inspira-tional idea and popularized in the movie industryrdquo
He went on to explain that in scripture angels are of a separate created order from mankind ldquoWhen human beings die those who go to heaven remain human beings Angels are created to serve the Lord and the Bible talks about them protecting man Psalm 9111 says For He will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways They will lift you up in their hands so you will not strike your foot against a stonerdquo
The Reverend went on to explain that there are angels like man who are fallen and that God through His Son has provided a redemption plan for man but not for angels
ldquoDo angels help some people but not othersrdquo Bob had a hard time accepting Godrsquos intervention in this situation
ldquoIt would appear so according to Gods higher purposerdquo the pastor answered
Bob went home His senses tingling he took another look at the bruises on his left shoulder Each of the smaller imprints looked like a bruise but was exactly the size of a fingerprint four on his back and one on the front of his shoulder just a little to the right of the large bruise noticed the day before He called his wife
ldquoJean place your hand over those bruisesrdquo He watched in the mirror as she stood in front of him When she placed her smaller palm over the large bruise her thumb and fingers almost fit the exact place where the other bruises lay Bob knew that his angel had moved him out of harmrsquos way He had the hand print to prove it
Bob walks daily with the knowledge that God cares specifically for those who love him He has not encountered another angel but he has experienced Godrsquos caring in other ways He also knows many who act as Godrsquos angels in human form and he hopes he has become one of them

Paul amp Linda Ratte - 11 Nature Drive - moved to Paradise Village from Transcona on October 23 2015 When I
went to visit them they were still trying to get settled in and found they hadnt downsized nearly enough That seems
to be problematic with a lot of us They have been looking for years for a place to retire to and found Paradise Vil-
lage to be exactly what they were looking for They like the countryside the peace and friendliness and enjoy their
own private home garden and yard We talked about all the activities and events held at the Rec Centre and Paul
said thats another thing that attracted them to Paradise Village - the Pool and the Rec Centre Paul is still actively
employed as an electrician for Freshwater Fish but can hardly wait until he retires next year Linda did odd jobs
throughout her life but was basically a stay-at-home mom They have 3 children and 9 grandchildren so did a fair
amount of babysitting which she treasured Lindas interests are bird watching cooking gardening and playing
bingo Paul plays hockey is a backyard mechanic and a jack-of-all trades kind of a guyHad a most enjoyable visit
with Paul and Linda and encouraged them to come out to some of the activities where they will be able to meet other
residents in our beautiful Paradise Village

Sarah was in the fertilized egg business She had several hundred young pullets and ten roosters to
fertilize the eggs She kept records and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was
replaced
This took a lot of time so she bought some tiny bells and attached them to her roosters Each bell
had a different tone so she could tell from a distance which rooster was performing Now she could
sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells
Sarahs favorite rooster old Butch was a very fine specimen but this morning she noticed old
Butchs bell hadnt rung at all When she went to investigate she saw the other roosters were busy
chasing pullets bells-a-ringing but the pullets hearing the roosters coming would run for cover
To Sarahs amazement old Butch had his bell in his beak so it couldnt ring Hed sneak up on a pul-
let do his job and walk on to the next one
Sarah was so proud of old Butch she entered him in a Show and he became an over-
night sensation among the judges
The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the No Bell Peace Prize they
also awarded him the Pulletsurprise as well
Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making Who else but a politician could figure
out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at
sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they werent paying
attention
We hope you voted carefully in the last election You cant always hear the bells

ldquoREDBLACKS represents Ottawas sports history and pays tribute to the Ottawa men and women who serve our country From the original Rough Riders in the 1890s to the modern Ottawa Senators Hockey Club red and black are the colours of Ottawa sport
The Edmonton Eskimos are named for the Eskimo or Inuit of northern Canada While not located in the far north land of the Inuit the nickname Eskimos was likely adopted for the alliterative effect and as a reference to Edmontons northern location The original name was Esquimaux from 1897 to 1910 from the archaic French spelling Edmonton has faced some pressure in the past couple decades to change their team name most recently in 2011 and 2014 Edmonton has a long history of teams with the Eskimo name in hockey baseball and other sports

Gout
Gout a rheumatic disease which results from the deposition of uric acid crystals in tissues and fluids manifests as sudden severe attacks of pain The typical presentation of gout is tenderness and pain in the big toe but the patient may experience an atypical presentation where any joint can be affected Gout occurs as a result of urate production (either normal or excessive) and the kidneys lack of ability to process the urate and eliminate it from the body fast enough What the body cannot excrete it will store In the case of excess urate the body will attempt to store it in the joint spaces This will result in recurrent attacks of inflammation chronic arthropathy topaceous deposits and potentially uric acid nephrolithiasis
The cause of gout can be due to high uric acid levels (primary) or due to the result of another disease state medication or various other reasons such as dietary indiscretion (secondary) The majority of patients who experience gout will match the typical profile older obese male frequent alcohol intake hypertensive hyperlipidemic Patients who do not meet this profile may be misdiagnosed therefore be on the lookout for patients who may experience gouty arthritis related to medications or poor lifestyle choices Predisposing factors may include high consumption of meat seafood fatty or processed foods or alcohol Trauma surgery dehydration and some medications (diuretics aspirin) may also precipitate a gout attack
There are three clinical syndromes associated with gouty arthritis acute gouty arthritis intercritical gout (or interval gout) and chronic recurrent and tophaceous gout Acute gouty arthritis is characterized by severe pain redness and swelling which reach the maximum in 24 hours and dissipate after that usually completely resolving in a few days or a week As mentioned before the big toe is the typical site of involvement but any joint can be involved Lab tests performed during this period may be nonspecific for gout and uric acid levels maybe either high or low during an attack making the diagnosis difficult Aspiration of the joint space may produce urate crystals Once the acute period has subsided the patient is said to have entered the intercritical period which is the symptom free period between flares This is the time to draw uric acid levels and determine if the patient is an over producer or undereliminator of uric acid and to aspirate previously effected joints in the search for urate crystals Once the diagnosis of gouty arthritis has been made it is time to manage comorbid conditions eliminate the cause of hyperuricemia and initiate urate lowering medications Tophaceous deposits are the result of longer term untreated or undertreated gout high levels of serum urate diuretic use or treatment with cyclosporine Larger deposits of uric acid may be apparent by visual or tactile inspection or may be determined by radiography or MRI
Treatment for acute gout should be initiated as soon as gout flare symptoms are perceived by the patient Gout flares will resolve faster if treatment is initiated right away Because of this the patient and provider should discuss abortive therapies at the initial appointment and the patient should receive counseling on which therapies are appropriate to take immediately upon initiation of a flare Anti-inflammatory medications are the mainstay for treatment of an acute flare but may not be appropriate for all patients due to their renal and cardiovascular side effects Since time is of the essence when treating a gout flare over the counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications may be the medication of choice due to easy access Prescriptions for other medications should be filled as soon as received and kept on hand so therapy can be initiate as quickly as possible Colchicine glucocorticoids and interleukin inhibitors are other medications which may be appropriate to treat an acute gout flare
37
P A R A D I S E V I L L A G E N E W S
Once the initial flare has subsided and the diagnosis of gout has been made prevention strategies should be initiated These strategies include lifestyle modification management of comorbid disease states initiation of urate lowering therapies and prophylactic therapy Since weight loss and a healthy diet has been shown to decrease the risk for gout patients should be encouraged to choose a diet moderate in meat consumption and low in processed or fatty foods and alcohol If a medication is deemed to be the reason for gout every effort to choose an alternative medication should be made Urate lowering medications should be initiated to reduce recurrent attacks and bony formations as well as dissolve any tophi which may have formed Counsel the patient so that he or she understands that treatment for recurrent gout is continuous and lifelong Treatment options may include uricosuric agents which enhance uric acid excretion xanthine oxidase inhibitors which decrease urate formation and uricase enzymes which catalyze the conversion to allantoin a more soluble purine product The goal of therapy is to obtain and maintain a serum urate level of lt6 mgdL by slowly reducing the circulating urate by 1-2 mgdL per month If the patient fails to meet these goals check for adherence to the treatment and life style changes reevaluate the diagnosis or consider an alternative therapy
The keys to successful treatment of gout are proper hydration therapeutic life style changes adherence to treatment and the use of NSAIDS (colchicine or glucocorticoids) for quick resolution of an acute attack Treatment is lifelong but maintaining urate levels lt6 mgdL will result in tophi resolution over time and a reduction in acute attacks of gout As a result of following the treatment and lifestyle changes indicated above the patient may experience less frequent gout flares or may become free of flares all together leading to an improved quality of life

Angel Fingerprints by Barbara Ann Derksen (Paradise Resident)
Angels are a topic of conversation in many homes during the Christmas season We place them on Christmas tree tops and listen as children depicting angels in a Christmas pageant tell shepherds to go to Bethlehem to see the Savior
But do angels really exist Bob Kristensen was about to find out
The day was cool dry and sunny with a crisp feel to the air on this pre-Christmas day in 2001 Bob decided early that morning that he would cut some wood from a neighborrsquos yard She had a dead tree she wanted removed Bob had a hungry wood-eating furnace at home
Completing his regular work schedule early he headed towards the field tools in hand Bob a strong Christian had never encountered an angel knew little about their existence except what the Bible told him so spent very little time thinking about them at all Smiling with his mind on the task at hand and not on angels he slammed the door to his truck and headed toward the large tree
It leaned a little to the north As Bob stared up at it the forty or fifty foot height seemed to reach heaven He knew a good Maple when he saw one and with a girth of three feet Bob knew the tree had been there a long time It had been damaged during a storm so now this tree would feed his furnace for a month or more Bob swung his axe for the first cut
He expected since the tree was leaning north that it would fall in that direction so he notched the north side of the tree He moved around to the south side His chain saw cut into the old bark spewing sawdust in all directions Bob glanced at the top occasionally The tree swayed as he reached the center with his saw sharpened for just such a time as this Before he had time to react the tree fell not to the north as was expected but directly over the spot where he was standing Life did not have time to flash before his eyes as the huge trunk aimed for his head
As if in a flash he was laying on the ground about twelve feet from the base of that huge tree His left leg was underneath the tree where the trunk was bowed He wiggled his foot No pain He stood dusted himself off and checked for broken bones None As he looked again at the tree some men whorsquod been working nearby ran to his side With disbelief and amazement written all over their faces each one asked if he was okay several times
ldquoWhat happened Did any of you see what happenedrdquo Bob looked from one face to the other
The rougher much younger man scratched his head blinked a few times and then replied ldquoIt looked as if you were moving backward very fast but neither of your feet were touching the groundrdquo The man surmised there was a space of about two feet between Bobrsquos feet and the ground under them
That was when Bob began to think about angels really think about them for the first time He left the tree lying where it was and drove as fast as the law would allow toward home He felt giddy almost strange thinking could it be true Bobrsquos wife was not home when he got there and by this time even though he hadnrsquot felt anything hit him soreness began to make itself known in his left front shoulder He decided to investigate Pulling off his shirt he discovered a large bruise
The main part of the bruise was close to baseball size but the entire left side of his chest was swollen He shook his head The only souvenir of his encounter with a tree that probably weighed 3000 pounds was a big ugly bruise
Bob spoke about the incident with a friend later that evening As most of us want to do he began to logically explain his bruise as the remains of the treersquos encounter with his body His friend however posed a good question ldquoIf a three thousand pound tree fell on you and hit you on the chest how could you possibly have gotten out from under itrdquo Bob began to feel that giddy sense of the unknown again Maybe that bruise was from a heavenly hand after all

th
Bob decided to seek his pastorrsquos advice the next day after he saw the five smaller bruises four on the back of his shoulder and one beside the larger bruise
The Bible says that angels are created beings with high intelligencerdquo the pastor began ldquoThey have the abil-ity to make moral judgment but they are spiritual beings without physical bodies The Bible clearly says that there are angels who guard people although I am not convinced that there is necessarily a guardian angel assigned to each person The idea that people who die become angels is not biblical but more an inspira-tional idea and popularized in the movie industryrdquo
He went on to explain that in scripture angels are of a separate created order from mankind ldquoWhen human beings die those who go to heaven remain human beings Angels are created to serve the Lord and the Bible talks about them protecting man Psalm 9111 says For He will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways They will lift you up in their hands so you will not strike your foot against a stonerdquo
The Reverend went on to explain that there are angels like man who are fallen and that God through His Son has provided a redemption plan for man but not for angels
ldquoDo angels help some people but not othersrdquo Bob had a hard time accepting Godrsquos intervention in this situation
ldquoIt would appear so according to Gods higher purposerdquo the pastor answered
Bob went home His senses tingling he took another look at the bruises on his left shoulder Each of the smaller imprints looked like a bruise but was exactly the size of a fingerprint four on his back and one on the front of his shoulder just a little to the right of the large bruise noticed the day before He called his wife
ldquoJean place your hand over those bruisesrdquo He watched in the mirror as she stood in front of him When she placed her smaller palm over the large bruise her thumb and fingers almost fit the exact place where the other bruises lay Bob knew that his angel had moved him out of harmrsquos way He had the hand print to prove it
Bob walks daily with the knowledge that God cares specifically for those who love him He has not encountered another angel but he has experienced Godrsquos caring in other ways He also knows many who act as Godrsquos angels in human form and he hopes he has become one of them

went to visit them they were still trying to get settled in and found they hadnt downsized nearly enough That seems
to be problematic with a lot of us They have been looking for years for a place to retire to and found Paradise Vil-
lage to be exactly what they were looking for They like the countryside the peace and friendliness and enjoy their
own private home garden and yard We talked about all the activities and events held at the Rec Centre and Paul
said thats another thing that attracted them to Paradise Village - the Pool and the Rec Centre Paul is still actively
employed as an electrician for Freshwater Fish but can hardly wait until he retires next year Linda did odd jobs
throughout her life but was basically a stay-at-home mom They have 3 children and 9 grandchildren so did a fair
amount of babysitting which she treasured Lindas interests are bird watching cooking gardening and playing
bingo Paul plays hockey is a backyard mechanic and a jack-of-all trades kind of a guyHad a most enjoyable visit
with Paul and Linda and encouraged them to come out to some of the activities where they will be able to meet other
residents in our beautiful Paradise Village

Sarah was in the fertilized egg business She had several hundred young pullets and ten roosters to
fertilize the eggs She kept records and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was
replaced
This took a lot of time so she bought some tiny bells and attached them to her roosters Each bell
had a different tone so she could tell from a distance which rooster was performing Now she could
sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells
Sarahs favorite rooster old Butch was a very fine specimen but this morning she noticed old
Butchs bell hadnt rung at all When she went to investigate she saw the other roosters were busy
chasing pullets bells-a-ringing but the pullets hearing the roosters coming would run for cover
To Sarahs amazement old Butch had his bell in his beak so it couldnt ring Hed sneak up on a pul-
let do his job and walk on to the next one
Sarah was so proud of old Butch she entered him in a Show and he became an over-
night sensation among the judges
The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the No Bell Peace Prize they
also awarded him the Pulletsurprise as well
Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making Who else but a politician could figure
out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at
sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they werent paying
attention
We hope you voted carefully in the last election You cant always hear the bells

ldquoREDBLACKS represents Ottawas sports history and pays tribute to the Ottawa men and women who serve our country From the original Rough Riders in the 1890s to the modern Ottawa Senators Hockey Club red and black are the colours of Ottawa sport
The Edmonton Eskimos are named for the Eskimo or Inuit of northern Canada While not located in the far north land of the Inuit the nickname Eskimos was likely adopted for the alliterative effect and as a reference to Edmontons northern location The original name was Esquimaux from 1897 to 1910 from the archaic French spelling Edmonton has faced some pressure in the past couple decades to change their team name most recently in 2011 and 2014 Edmonton has a long history of teams with the Eskimo name in hockey baseball and other sports

Gout
Gout a rheumatic disease which results from the deposition of uric acid crystals in tissues and fluids manifests as sudden severe attacks of pain The typical presentation of gout is tenderness and pain in the big toe but the patient may experience an atypical presentation where any joint can be affected Gout occurs as a result of urate production (either normal or excessive) and the kidneys lack of ability to process the urate and eliminate it from the body fast enough What the body cannot excrete it will store In the case of excess urate the body will attempt to store it in the joint spaces This will result in recurrent attacks of inflammation chronic arthropathy topaceous deposits and potentially uric acid nephrolithiasis
The cause of gout can be due to high uric acid levels (primary) or due to the result of another disease state medication or various other reasons such as dietary indiscretion (secondary) The majority of patients who experience gout will match the typical profile older obese male frequent alcohol intake hypertensive hyperlipidemic Patients who do not meet this profile may be misdiagnosed therefore be on the lookout for patients who may experience gouty arthritis related to medications or poor lifestyle choices Predisposing factors may include high consumption of meat seafood fatty or processed foods or alcohol Trauma surgery dehydration and some medications (diuretics aspirin) may also precipitate a gout attack
There are three clinical syndromes associated with gouty arthritis acute gouty arthritis intercritical gout (or interval gout) and chronic recurrent and tophaceous gout Acute gouty arthritis is characterized by severe pain redness and swelling which reach the maximum in 24 hours and dissipate after that usually completely resolving in a few days or a week As mentioned before the big toe is the typical site of involvement but any joint can be involved Lab tests performed during this period may be nonspecific for gout and uric acid levels maybe either high or low during an attack making the diagnosis difficult Aspiration of the joint space may produce urate crystals Once the acute period has subsided the patient is said to have entered the intercritical period which is the symptom free period between flares This is the time to draw uric acid levels and determine if the patient is an over producer or undereliminator of uric acid and to aspirate previously effected joints in the search for urate crystals Once the diagnosis of gouty arthritis has been made it is time to manage comorbid conditions eliminate the cause of hyperuricemia and initiate urate lowering medications Tophaceous deposits are the result of longer term untreated or undertreated gout high levels of serum urate diuretic use or treatment with cyclosporine Larger deposits of uric acid may be apparent by visual or tactile inspection or may be determined by radiography or MRI
Treatment for acute gout should be initiated as soon as gout flare symptoms are perceived by the patient Gout flares will resolve faster if treatment is initiated right away Because of this the patient and provider should discuss abortive therapies at the initial appointment and the patient should receive counseling on which therapies are appropriate to take immediately upon initiation of a flare Anti-inflammatory medications are the mainstay for treatment of an acute flare but may not be appropriate for all patients due to their renal and cardiovascular side effects Since time is of the essence when treating a gout flare over the counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications may be the medication of choice due to easy access Prescriptions for other medications should be filled as soon as received and kept on hand so therapy can be initiate as quickly as possible Colchicine glucocorticoids and interleukin inhibitors are other medications which may be appropriate to treat an acute gout flare
37
P A R A D I S E V I L L A G E N E W S
Once the initial flare has subsided and the diagnosis of gout has been made prevention strategies should be initiated These strategies include lifestyle modification management of comorbid disease states initiation of urate lowering therapies and prophylactic therapy Since weight loss and a healthy diet has been shown to decrease the risk for gout patients should be encouraged to choose a diet moderate in meat consumption and low in processed or fatty foods and alcohol If a medication is deemed to be the reason for gout every effort to choose an alternative medication should be made Urate lowering medications should be initiated to reduce recurrent attacks and bony formations as well as dissolve any tophi which may have formed Counsel the patient so that he or she understands that treatment for recurrent gout is continuous and lifelong Treatment options may include uricosuric agents which enhance uric acid excretion xanthine oxidase inhibitors which decrease urate formation and uricase enzymes which catalyze the conversion to allantoin a more soluble purine product The goal of therapy is to obtain and maintain a serum urate level of lt6 mgdL by slowly reducing the circulating urate by 1-2 mgdL per month If the patient fails to meet these goals check for adherence to the treatment and life style changes reevaluate the diagnosis or consider an alternative therapy
The keys to successful treatment of gout are proper hydration therapeutic life style changes adherence to treatment and the use of NSAIDS (colchicine or glucocorticoids) for quick resolution of an acute attack Treatment is lifelong but maintaining urate levels lt6 mgdL will result in tophi resolution over time and a reduction in acute attacks of gout As a result of following the treatment and lifestyle changes indicated above the patient may experience less frequent gout flares or may become free of flares all together leading to an improved quality of life

Angel Fingerprints by Barbara Ann Derksen (Paradise Resident)
Angels are a topic of conversation in many homes during the Christmas season We place them on Christmas tree tops and listen as children depicting angels in a Christmas pageant tell shepherds to go to Bethlehem to see the Savior
But do angels really exist Bob Kristensen was about to find out
The day was cool dry and sunny with a crisp feel to the air on this pre-Christmas day in 2001 Bob decided early that morning that he would cut some wood from a neighborrsquos yard She had a dead tree she wanted removed Bob had a hungry wood-eating furnace at home
Completing his regular work schedule early he headed towards the field tools in hand Bob a strong Christian had never encountered an angel knew little about their existence except what the Bible told him so spent very little time thinking about them at all Smiling with his mind on the task at hand and not on angels he slammed the door to his truck and headed toward the large tree
It leaned a little to the north As Bob stared up at it the forty or fifty foot height seemed to reach heaven He knew a good Maple when he saw one and with a girth of three feet Bob knew the tree had been there a long time It had been damaged during a storm so now this tree would feed his furnace for a month or more Bob swung his axe for the first cut
He expected since the tree was leaning north that it would fall in that direction so he notched the north side of the tree He moved around to the south side His chain saw cut into the old bark spewing sawdust in all directions Bob glanced at the top occasionally The tree swayed as he reached the center with his saw sharpened for just such a time as this Before he had time to react the tree fell not to the north as was expected but directly over the spot where he was standing Life did not have time to flash before his eyes as the huge trunk aimed for his head
As if in a flash he was laying on the ground about twelve feet from the base of that huge tree His left leg was underneath the tree where the trunk was bowed He wiggled his foot No pain He stood dusted himself off and checked for broken bones None As he looked again at the tree some men whorsquod been working nearby ran to his side With disbelief and amazement written all over their faces each one asked if he was okay several times
ldquoWhat happened Did any of you see what happenedrdquo Bob looked from one face to the other
The rougher much younger man scratched his head blinked a few times and then replied ldquoIt looked as if you were moving backward very fast but neither of your feet were touching the groundrdquo The man surmised there was a space of about two feet between Bobrsquos feet and the ground under them
That was when Bob began to think about angels really think about them for the first time He left the tree lying where it was and drove as fast as the law would allow toward home He felt giddy almost strange thinking could it be true Bobrsquos wife was not home when he got there and by this time even though he hadnrsquot felt anything hit him soreness began to make itself known in his left front shoulder He decided to investigate Pulling off his shirt he discovered a large bruise
The main part of the bruise was close to baseball size but the entire left side of his chest was swollen He shook his head The only souvenir of his encounter with a tree that probably weighed 3000 pounds was a big ugly bruise
Bob spoke about the incident with a friend later that evening As most of us want to do he began to logically explain his bruise as the remains of the treersquos encounter with his body His friend however posed a good question ldquoIf a three thousand pound tree fell on you and hit you on the chest how could you possibly have gotten out from under itrdquo Bob began to feel that giddy sense of the unknown again Maybe that bruise was from a heavenly hand after all

th
Bob decided to seek his pastorrsquos advice the next day after he saw the five smaller bruises four on the back of his shoulder and one beside the larger bruise
The Bible says that angels are created beings with high intelligencerdquo the pastor began ldquoThey have the abil-ity to make moral judgment but they are spiritual beings without physical bodies The Bible clearly says that there are angels who guard people although I am not convinced that there is necessarily a guardian angel assigned to each person The idea that people who die become angels is not biblical but more an inspira-tional idea and popularized in the movie industryrdquo
He went on to explain that in scripture angels are of a separate created order from mankind ldquoWhen human beings die those who go to heaven remain human beings Angels are created to serve the Lord and the Bible talks about them protecting man Psalm 9111 says For He will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways They will lift you up in their hands so you will not strike your foot against a stonerdquo
The Reverend went on to explain that there are angels like man who are fallen and that God through His Son has provided a redemption plan for man but not for angels
ldquoDo angels help some people but not othersrdquo Bob had a hard time accepting Godrsquos intervention in this situation
ldquoIt would appear so according to Gods higher purposerdquo the pastor answered
Bob went home His senses tingling he took another look at the bruises on his left shoulder Each of the smaller imprints looked like a bruise but was exactly the size of a fingerprint four on his back and one on the front of his shoulder just a little to the right of the large bruise noticed the day before He called his wife
ldquoJean place your hand over those bruisesrdquo He watched in the mirror as she stood in front of him When she placed her smaller palm over the large bruise her thumb and fingers almost fit the exact place where the other bruises lay Bob knew that his angel had moved him out of harmrsquos way He had the hand print to prove it
Bob walks daily with the knowledge that God cares specifically for those who love him He has not encountered another angel but he has experienced Godrsquos caring in other ways He also knows many who act as Godrsquos angels in human form and he hopes he has become one of them

lage to be exactly what they were looking for They like the countryside the peace and friendliness and enjoy their
own private home garden and yard We talked about all the activities and events held at the Rec Centre and Paul
said thats another thing that attracted them to Paradise Village - the Pool and the Rec Centre Paul is still actively
employed as an electrician for Freshwater Fish but can hardly wait until he retires next year Linda did odd jobs
throughout her life but was basically a stay-at-home mom They have 3 children and 9 grandchildren so did a fair
amount of babysitting which she treasured Lindas interests are bird watching cooking gardening and playing
bingo Paul plays hockey is a backyard mechanic and a jack-of-all trades kind of a guyHad a most enjoyable visit
with Paul and Linda and encouraged them to come out to some of the activities where they will be able to meet other

Sarah was in the fertilized egg business She had several hundred young pullets and ten roosters to
fertilize the eggs She kept records and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was
replaced
This took a lot of time so she bought some tiny bells and attached them to her roosters Each bell
had a different tone so she could tell from a distance which rooster was performing Now she could
sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells
Sarahs favorite rooster old Butch was a very fine specimen but this morning she noticed old
Butchs bell hadnt rung at all When she went to investigate she saw the other roosters were busy
chasing pullets bells-a-ringing but the pullets hearing the roosters coming would run for cover
To Sarahs amazement old Butch had his bell in his beak so it couldnt ring Hed sneak up on a pul-
let do his job and walk on to the next one
Sarah was so proud of old Butch she entered him in a Show and he became an over-
night sensation among the judges
The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the No Bell Peace Prize they
also awarded him the Pulletsurprise as well
Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making Who else but a politician could figure
out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at
sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they werent paying
attention
We hope you voted carefully in the last election You cant always hear the bells

The Edmonton Eskimos are named for the Eskimo or Inuit of northern Canada While not located in the far north land of the Inuit the nickname Eskimos was likely adopted for the alliterative effect and as a reference to Edmontons northern location The original name was Esquimaux from 1897 to 1910 from the archaic French spelling Edmonton has faced some pressure in the past couple decades to change their team name most recently in 2011 and 2014 Edmonton has a long history of teams with the Eskimo name in hockey baseball and other sports

Gout
Gout a rheumatic disease which results from the deposition of uric acid crystals in tissues and fluids manifests as sudden severe attacks of pain The typical presentation of gout is tenderness and pain in the big toe but the patient may experience an atypical presentation where any joint can be affected Gout occurs as a result of urate production (either normal or excessive) and the kidneys lack of ability to process the urate and eliminate it from the body fast enough What the body cannot excrete it will store In the case of excess urate the body will attempt to store it in the joint spaces This will result in recurrent attacks of inflammation chronic arthropathy topaceous deposits and potentially uric acid nephrolithiasis
The cause of gout can be due to high uric acid levels (primary) or due to the result of another disease state medication or various other reasons such as dietary indiscretion (secondary) The majority of patients who experience gout will match the typical profile older obese male frequent alcohol intake hypertensive hyperlipidemic Patients who do not meet this profile may be misdiagnosed therefore be on the lookout for patients who may experience gouty arthritis related to medications or poor lifestyle choices Predisposing factors may include high consumption of meat seafood fatty or processed foods or alcohol Trauma surgery dehydration and some medications (diuretics aspirin) may also precipitate a gout attack
There are three clinical syndromes associated with gouty arthritis acute gouty arthritis intercritical gout (or interval gout) and chronic recurrent and tophaceous gout Acute gouty arthritis is characterized by severe pain redness and swelling which reach the maximum in 24 hours and dissipate after that usually completely resolving in a few days or a week As mentioned before the big toe is the typical site of involvement but any joint can be involved Lab tests performed during this period may be nonspecific for gout and uric acid levels maybe either high or low during an attack making the diagnosis difficult Aspiration of the joint space may produce urate crystals Once the acute period has subsided the patient is said to have entered the intercritical period which is the symptom free period between flares This is the time to draw uric acid levels and determine if the patient is an over producer or undereliminator of uric acid and to aspirate previously effected joints in the search for urate crystals Once the diagnosis of gouty arthritis has been made it is time to manage comorbid conditions eliminate the cause of hyperuricemia and initiate urate lowering medications Tophaceous deposits are the result of longer term untreated or undertreated gout high levels of serum urate diuretic use or treatment with cyclosporine Larger deposits of uric acid may be apparent by visual or tactile inspection or may be determined by radiography or MRI
Treatment for acute gout should be initiated as soon as gout flare symptoms are perceived by the patient Gout flares will resolve faster if treatment is initiated right away Because of this the patient and provider should discuss abortive therapies at the initial appointment and the patient should receive counseling on which therapies are appropriate to take immediately upon initiation of a flare Anti-inflammatory medications are the mainstay for treatment of an acute flare but may not be appropriate for all patients due to their renal and cardiovascular side effects Since time is of the essence when treating a gout flare over the counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications may be the medication of choice due to easy access Prescriptions for other medications should be filled as soon as received and kept on hand so therapy can be initiate as quickly as possible Colchicine glucocorticoids and interleukin inhibitors are other medications which may be appropriate to treat an acute gout flare

P A R A D I S E V I L L A G E N E W S
Once the initial flare has subsided and the diagnosis of gout has been made prevention strategies should be initiated These strategies include lifestyle modification management of comorbid disease states initiation of urate lowering therapies and prophylactic therapy Since weight loss and a healthy diet has been shown to decrease the risk for gout patients should be encouraged to choose a diet moderate in meat consumption and low in processed or fatty foods and alcohol If a medication is deemed to be the reason for gout every effort to choose an alternative medication should be made Urate lowering medications should be initiated to reduce recurrent attacks and bony formations as well as dissolve any tophi which may have formed Counsel the patient so that he or she understands that treatment for recurrent gout is continuous and lifelong Treatment options may include uricosuric agents which enhance uric acid excretion xanthine oxidase inhibitors which decrease urate formation and uricase enzymes which catalyze the conversion to allantoin a more soluble purine product The goal of therapy is to obtain and maintain a serum urate level of lt6 mgdL by slowly reducing the circulating urate by 1-2 mgdL per month If the patient fails to meet these goals check for adherence to the treatment and life style changes reevaluate the diagnosis or consider an alternative therapy
The keys to successful treatment of gout are proper hydration therapeutic life style changes adherence to treatment and the use of NSAIDS (colchicine or glucocorticoids) for quick resolution of an acute attack Treatment is lifelong but maintaining urate levels lt6 mgdL will result in tophi resolution over time and a reduction in acute attacks of gout As a result of following the treatment and lifestyle changes indicated above the patient may experience less frequent gout flares or may become free of flares all together leading to an improved quality of life

Angel Fingerprints by Barbara Ann Derksen (Paradise Resident)
Angels are a topic of conversation in many homes during the Christmas season We place them on Christmas tree tops and listen as children depicting angels in a Christmas pageant tell shepherds to go to Bethlehem to see the Savior
But do angels really exist Bob Kristensen was about to find out
The day was cool dry and sunny with a crisp feel to the air on this pre-Christmas day in 2001 Bob decided early that morning that he would cut some wood from a neighborrsquos yard She had a dead tree she wanted removed Bob had a hungry wood-eating furnace at home
Completing his regular work schedule early he headed towards the field tools in hand Bob a strong Christian had never encountered an angel knew little about their existence except what the Bible told him so spent very little time thinking about them at all Smiling with his mind on the task at hand and not on angels he slammed the door to his truck and headed toward the large tree
It leaned a little to the north As Bob stared up at it the forty or fifty foot height seemed to reach heaven He knew a good Maple when he saw one and with a girth of three feet Bob knew the tree had been there a long time It had been damaged during a storm so now this tree would feed his furnace for a month or more Bob swung his axe for the first cut
He expected since the tree was leaning north that it would fall in that direction so he notched the north side of the tree He moved around to the south side His chain saw cut into the old bark spewing sawdust in all directions Bob glanced at the top occasionally The tree swayed as he reached the center with his saw sharpened for just such a time as this Before he had time to react the tree fell not to the north as was expected but directly over the spot where he was standing Life did not have time to flash before his eyes as the huge trunk aimed for his head
As if in a flash he was laying on the ground about twelve feet from the base of that huge tree His left leg was underneath the tree where the trunk was bowed He wiggled his foot No pain He stood dusted himself off and checked for broken bones None As he looked again at the tree some men whorsquod been working nearby ran to his side With disbelief and amazement written all over their faces each one asked if he was okay several times
ldquoWhat happened Did any of you see what happenedrdquo Bob looked from one face to the other
The rougher much younger man scratched his head blinked a few times and then replied ldquoIt looked as if you were moving backward very fast but neither of your feet were touching the groundrdquo The man surmised there was a space of about two feet between Bobrsquos feet and the ground under them
That was when Bob began to think about angels really think about them for the first time He left the tree lying where it was and drove as fast as the law would allow toward home He felt giddy almost strange thinking could it be true Bobrsquos wife was not home when he got there and by this time even though he hadnrsquot felt anything hit him soreness began to make itself known in his left front shoulder He decided to investigate Pulling off his shirt he discovered a large bruise
The main part of the bruise was close to baseball size but the entire left side of his chest was swollen He shook his head The only souvenir of his encounter with a tree that probably weighed 3000 pounds was a big ugly bruise
Bob spoke about the incident with a friend later that evening As most of us want to do he began to logically explain his bruise as the remains of the treersquos encounter with his body His friend however posed a good question ldquoIf a three thousand pound tree fell on you and hit you on the chest how could you possibly have gotten out from under itrdquo Bob began to feel that giddy sense of the unknown again Maybe that bruise was from a heavenly hand after all

th
Bob decided to seek his pastorrsquos advice the next day after he saw the five smaller bruises four on the back of his shoulder and one beside the larger bruise
The Bible says that angels are created beings with high intelligencerdquo the pastor began ldquoThey have the abil-ity to make moral judgment but they are spiritual beings without physical bodies The Bible clearly says that there are angels who guard people although I am not convinced that there is necessarily a guardian angel assigned to each person The idea that people who die become angels is not biblical but more an inspira-tional idea and popularized in the movie industryrdquo
He went on to explain that in scripture angels are of a separate created order from mankind ldquoWhen human beings die those who go to heaven remain human beings Angels are created to serve the Lord and the Bible talks about them protecting man Psalm 9111 says For He will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways They will lift you up in their hands so you will not strike your foot against a stonerdquo
The Reverend went on to explain that there are angels like man who are fallen and that God through His Son has provided a redemption plan for man but not for angels
ldquoDo angels help some people but not othersrdquo Bob had a hard time accepting Godrsquos intervention in this situation
ldquoIt would appear so according to Gods higher purposerdquo the pastor answered
Bob went home His senses tingling he took another look at the bruises on his left shoulder Each of the smaller imprints looked like a bruise but was exactly the size of a fingerprint four on his back and one on the front of his shoulder just a little to the right of the large bruise noticed the day before He called his wife
ldquoJean place your hand over those bruisesrdquo He watched in the mirror as she stood in front of him When she placed her smaller palm over the large bruise her thumb and fingers almost fit the exact place where the other bruises lay Bob knew that his angel had moved him out of harmrsquos way He had the hand print to prove it
Bob walks daily with the knowledge that God cares specifically for those who love him He has not encountered another angel but he has experienced Godrsquos caring in other ways He also knows many who act as Godrsquos angels in human form and he hopes he has become one of them

Sarah was in the fertilized egg business She had several hundred young pullets and ten roosters to
fertilize the eggs She kept records and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was
replaced
This took a lot of time so she bought some tiny bells and attached them to her roosters Each bell
had a different tone so she could tell from a distance which rooster was performing Now she could
sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells
Sarahs favorite rooster old Butch was a very fine specimen but this morning she noticed old
Butchs bell hadnt rung at all When she went to investigate she saw the other roosters were busy
chasing pullets bells-a-ringing but the pullets hearing the roosters coming would run for cover
To Sarahs amazement old Butch had his bell in his beak so it couldnt ring Hed sneak up on a pul-
let do his job and walk on to the next one
Sarah was so proud of old Butch she entered him in a Show and he became an over-
night sensation among the judges
The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the No Bell Peace Prize they
also awarded him the Pulletsurprise as well
Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making Who else but a politician could figure
out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at
sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they werent paying
attention
We hope you voted carefully in the last election You cant always hear the bells

The Edmonton Eskimos are named for the Eskimo or Inuit of northern Canada While not located in the far north land of the Inuit the nickname Eskimos was likely adopted for the alliterative effect and as a reference to Edmontons northern location The original name was Esquimaux from 1897 to 1910 from the archaic French spelling Edmonton has faced some pressure in the past couple decades to change their team name most recently in 2011 and 2014 Edmonton has a long history of teams with the Eskimo name in hockey baseball and other sports

Gout
Gout a rheumatic disease which results from the deposition of uric acid crystals in tissues and fluids manifests as sudden severe attacks of pain The typical presentation of gout is tenderness and pain in the big toe but the patient may experience an atypical presentation where any joint can be affected Gout occurs as a result of urate production (either normal or excessive) and the kidneys lack of ability to process the urate and eliminate it from the body fast enough What the body cannot excrete it will store In the case of excess urate the body will attempt to store it in the joint spaces This will result in recurrent attacks of inflammation chronic arthropathy topaceous deposits and potentially uric acid nephrolithiasis
The cause of gout can be due to high uric acid levels (primary) or due to the result of another disease state medication or various other reasons such as dietary indiscretion (secondary) The majority of patients who experience gout will match the typical profile older obese male frequent alcohol intake hypertensive hyperlipidemic Patients who do not meet this profile may be misdiagnosed therefore be on the lookout for patients who may experience gouty arthritis related to medications or poor lifestyle choices Predisposing factors may include high consumption of meat seafood fatty or processed foods or alcohol Trauma surgery dehydration and some medications (diuretics aspirin) may also precipitate a gout attack
There are three clinical syndromes associated with gouty arthritis acute gouty arthritis intercritical gout (or interval gout) and chronic recurrent and tophaceous gout Acute gouty arthritis is characterized by severe pain redness and swelling which reach the maximum in 24 hours and dissipate after that usually completely resolving in a few days or a week As mentioned before the big toe is the typical site of involvement but any joint can be involved Lab tests performed during this period may be nonspecific for gout and uric acid levels maybe either high or low during an attack making the diagnosis difficult Aspiration of the joint space may produce urate crystals Once the acute period has subsided the patient is said to have entered the intercritical period which is the symptom free period between flares This is the time to draw uric acid levels and determine if the patient is an over producer or undereliminator of uric acid and to aspirate previously effected joints in the search for urate crystals Once the diagnosis of gouty arthritis has been made it is time to manage comorbid conditions eliminate the cause of hyperuricemia and initiate urate lowering medications Tophaceous deposits are the result of longer term untreated or undertreated gout high levels of serum urate diuretic use or treatment with cyclosporine Larger deposits of uric acid may be apparent by visual or tactile inspection or may be determined by radiography or MRI
Treatment for acute gout should be initiated as soon as gout flare symptoms are perceived by the patient Gout flares will resolve faster if treatment is initiated right away Because of this the patient and provider should discuss abortive therapies at the initial appointment and the patient should receive counseling on which therapies are appropriate to take immediately upon initiation of a flare Anti-inflammatory medications are the mainstay for treatment of an acute flare but may not be appropriate for all patients due to their renal and cardiovascular side effects Since time is of the essence when treating a gout flare over the counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications may be the medication of choice due to easy access Prescriptions for other medications should be filled as soon as received and kept on hand so therapy can be initiate as quickly as possible Colchicine glucocorticoids and interleukin inhibitors are other medications which may be appropriate to treat an acute gout flare
37
P A R A D I S E V I L L A G E N E W S
Once the initial flare has subsided and the diagnosis of gout has been made prevention strategies should be initiated These strategies include lifestyle modification management of comorbid disease states initiation of urate lowering therapies and prophylactic therapy Since weight loss and a healthy diet has been shown to decrease the risk for gout patients should be encouraged to choose a diet moderate in meat consumption and low in processed or fatty foods and alcohol If a medication is deemed to be the reason for gout every effort to choose an alternative medication should be made Urate lowering medications should be initiated to reduce recurrent attacks and bony formations as well as dissolve any tophi which may have formed Counsel the patient so that he or she understands that treatment for recurrent gout is continuous and lifelong Treatment options may include uricosuric agents which enhance uric acid excretion xanthine oxidase inhibitors which decrease urate formation and uricase enzymes which catalyze the conversion to allantoin a more soluble purine product The goal of therapy is to obtain and maintain a serum urate level of lt6 mgdL by slowly reducing the circulating urate by 1-2 mgdL per month If the patient fails to meet these goals check for adherence to the treatment and life style changes reevaluate the diagnosis or consider an alternative therapy
The keys to successful treatment of gout are proper hydration therapeutic life style changes adherence to treatment and the use of NSAIDS (colchicine or glucocorticoids) for quick resolution of an acute attack Treatment is lifelong but maintaining urate levels lt6 mgdL will result in tophi resolution over time and a reduction in acute attacks of gout As a result of following the treatment and lifestyle changes indicated above the patient may experience less frequent gout flares or may become free of flares all together leading to an improved quality of life

Angel Fingerprints by Barbara Ann Derksen (Paradise Resident)
Angels are a topic of conversation in many homes during the Christmas season We place them on Christmas tree tops and listen as children depicting angels in a Christmas pageant tell shepherds to go to Bethlehem to see the Savior
But do angels really exist Bob Kristensen was about to find out
The day was cool dry and sunny with a crisp feel to the air on this pre-Christmas day in 2001 Bob decided early that morning that he would cut some wood from a neighborrsquos yard She had a dead tree she wanted removed Bob had a hungry wood-eating furnace at home
Completing his regular work schedule early he headed towards the field tools in hand Bob a strong Christian had never encountered an angel knew little about their existence except what the Bible told him so spent very little time thinking about them at all Smiling with his mind on the task at hand and not on angels he slammed the door to his truck and headed toward the large tree
It leaned a little to the north As Bob stared up at it the forty or fifty foot height seemed to reach heaven He knew a good Maple when he saw one and with a girth of three feet Bob knew the tree had been there a long time It had been damaged during a storm so now this tree would feed his furnace for a month or more Bob swung his axe for the first cut
He expected since the tree was leaning north that it would fall in that direction so he notched the north side of the tree He moved around to the south side His chain saw cut into the old bark spewing sawdust in all directions Bob glanced at the top occasionally The tree swayed as he reached the center with his saw sharpened for just such a time as this Before he had time to react the tree fell not to the north as was expected but directly over the spot where he was standing Life did not have time to flash before his eyes as the huge trunk aimed for his head
As if in a flash he was laying on the ground about twelve feet from the base of that huge tree His left leg was underneath the tree where the trunk was bowed He wiggled his foot No pain He stood dusted himself off and checked for broken bones None As he looked again at the tree some men whorsquod been working nearby ran to his side With disbelief and amazement written all over their faces each one asked if he was okay several times
ldquoWhat happened Did any of you see what happenedrdquo Bob looked from one face to the other
The rougher much younger man scratched his head blinked a few times and then replied ldquoIt looked as if you were moving backward very fast but neither of your feet were touching the groundrdquo The man surmised there was a space of about two feet between Bobrsquos feet and the ground under them
That was when Bob began to think about angels really think about them for the first time He left the tree lying where it was and drove as fast as the law would allow toward home He felt giddy almost strange thinking could it be true Bobrsquos wife was not home when he got there and by this time even though he hadnrsquot felt anything hit him soreness began to make itself known in his left front shoulder He decided to investigate Pulling off his shirt he discovered a large bruise
The main part of the bruise was close to baseball size but the entire left side of his chest was swollen He shook his head The only souvenir of his encounter with a tree that probably weighed 3000 pounds was a big ugly bruise
Bob spoke about the incident with a friend later that evening As most of us want to do he began to logically explain his bruise as the remains of the treersquos encounter with his body His friend however posed a good question ldquoIf a three thousand pound tree fell on you and hit you on the chest how could you possibly have gotten out from under itrdquo Bob began to feel that giddy sense of the unknown again Maybe that bruise was from a heavenly hand after all

th
Bob decided to seek his pastorrsquos advice the next day after he saw the five smaller bruises four on the back of his shoulder and one beside the larger bruise
The Bible says that angels are created beings with high intelligencerdquo the pastor began ldquoThey have the abil-ity to make moral judgment but they are spiritual beings without physical bodies The Bible clearly says that there are angels who guard people although I am not convinced that there is necessarily a guardian angel assigned to each person The idea that people who die become angels is not biblical but more an inspira-tional idea and popularized in the movie industryrdquo
He went on to explain that in scripture angels are of a separate created order from mankind ldquoWhen human beings die those who go to heaven remain human beings Angels are created to serve the Lord and the Bible talks about them protecting man Psalm 9111 says For He will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways They will lift you up in their hands so you will not strike your foot against a stonerdquo
The Reverend went on to explain that there are angels like man who are fallen and that God through His Son has provided a redemption plan for man but not for angels
ldquoDo angels help some people but not othersrdquo Bob had a hard time accepting Godrsquos intervention in this situation
ldquoIt would appear so according to Gods higher purposerdquo the pastor answered
Bob went home His senses tingling he took another look at the bruises on his left shoulder Each of the smaller imprints looked like a bruise but was exactly the size of a fingerprint four on his back and one on the front of his shoulder just a little to the right of the large bruise noticed the day before He called his wife
ldquoJean place your hand over those bruisesrdquo He watched in the mirror as she stood in front of him When she placed her smaller palm over the large bruise her thumb and fingers almost fit the exact place where the other bruises lay Bob knew that his angel had moved him out of harmrsquos way He had the hand print to prove it
Bob walks daily with the knowledge that God cares specifically for those who love him He has not encountered another angel but he has experienced Godrsquos caring in other ways He also knows many who act as Godrsquos angels in human form and he hopes he has become one of them

done a beautiful job of renovating the interior of their home while Pat has done wonders with the decorating They
have other plans but everything will get done before they officially move in before they retire What a talented
couple We had a great visit over a cup of coffee discussing all the events and activities that are offered in our
Village and at the Recreation Center They both work for WRE Development and have been there for 34 years Pat is
the property manager and Ray is the maintenance person Pats hobbies include decorating cooking reading and
music Ray likes to play pool play music swim paint and is a jack-of-all trades Between them there are 4 children

Paul amp Linda Ratte - 11 Nature Drive - moved to Paradise Village from Transcona on October 23 2015 When I
went to visit them they were still trying to get settled in and found they hadnt downsized nearly enough That seems
to be problematic with a lot of us They have been looking for years for a place to retire to and found Paradise Vil-
lage to be exactly what they were looking for They like the countryside the peace and friendliness and enjoy their
own private home garden and yard We talked about all the activities and events held at the Rec Centre and Paul
said thats another thing that attracted them to Paradise Village - the Pool and the Rec Centre Paul is still actively
employed as an electrician for Freshwater Fish but can hardly wait until he retires next year Linda did odd jobs
throughout her life but was basically a stay-at-home mom They have 3 children and 9 grandchildren so did a fair
amount of babysitting which she treasured Lindas interests are bird watching cooking gardening and playing
bingo Paul plays hockey is a backyard mechanic and a jack-of-all trades kind of a guyHad a most enjoyable visit
with Paul and Linda and encouraged them to come out to some of the activities where they will be able to meet other
residents in our beautiful Paradise Village

Sarah was in the fertilized egg business She had several hundred young pullets and ten roosters to
fertilize the eggs She kept records and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was
replaced
This took a lot of time so she bought some tiny bells and attached them to her roosters Each bell
had a different tone so she could tell from a distance which rooster was performing Now she could
sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells
Sarahs favorite rooster old Butch was a very fine specimen but this morning she noticed old
Butchs bell hadnt rung at all When she went to investigate she saw the other roosters were busy
chasing pullets bells-a-ringing but the pullets hearing the roosters coming would run for cover
To Sarahs amazement old Butch had his bell in his beak so it couldnt ring Hed sneak up on a pul-
let do his job and walk on to the next one
Sarah was so proud of old Butch she entered him in a Show and he became an over-
night sensation among the judges
The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the No Bell Peace Prize they
also awarded him the Pulletsurprise as well
Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making Who else but a politician could figure
out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at
sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they werent paying
attention
We hope you voted carefully in the last election You cant always hear the bells

ldquoREDBLACKS represents Ottawas sports history and pays tribute to the Ottawa men and women who serve our country From the original Rough Riders in the 1890s to the modern Ottawa Senators Hockey Club red and black are the colours of Ottawa sport
The Edmonton Eskimos are named for the Eskimo or Inuit of northern Canada While not located in the far north land of the Inuit the nickname Eskimos was likely adopted for the alliterative effect and as a reference to Edmontons northern location The original name was Esquimaux from 1897 to 1910 from the archaic French spelling Edmonton has faced some pressure in the past couple decades to change their team name most recently in 2011 and 2014 Edmonton has a long history of teams with the Eskimo name in hockey baseball and other sports

Gout
Gout a rheumatic disease which results from the deposition of uric acid crystals in tissues and fluids manifests as sudden severe attacks of pain The typical presentation of gout is tenderness and pain in the big toe but the patient may experience an atypical presentation where any joint can be affected Gout occurs as a result of urate production (either normal or excessive) and the kidneys lack of ability to process the urate and eliminate it from the body fast enough What the body cannot excrete it will store In the case of excess urate the body will attempt to store it in the joint spaces This will result in recurrent attacks of inflammation chronic arthropathy topaceous deposits and potentially uric acid nephrolithiasis
The cause of gout can be due to high uric acid levels (primary) or due to the result of another disease state medication or various other reasons such as dietary indiscretion (secondary) The majority of patients who experience gout will match the typical profile older obese male frequent alcohol intake hypertensive hyperlipidemic Patients who do not meet this profile may be misdiagnosed therefore be on the lookout for patients who may experience gouty arthritis related to medications or poor lifestyle choices Predisposing factors may include high consumption of meat seafood fatty or processed foods or alcohol Trauma surgery dehydration and some medications (diuretics aspirin) may also precipitate a gout attack
There are three clinical syndromes associated with gouty arthritis acute gouty arthritis intercritical gout (or interval gout) and chronic recurrent and tophaceous gout Acute gouty arthritis is characterized by severe pain redness and swelling which reach the maximum in 24 hours and dissipate after that usually completely resolving in a few days or a week As mentioned before the big toe is the typical site of involvement but any joint can be involved Lab tests performed during this period may be nonspecific for gout and uric acid levels maybe either high or low during an attack making the diagnosis difficult Aspiration of the joint space may produce urate crystals Once the acute period has subsided the patient is said to have entered the intercritical period which is the symptom free period between flares This is the time to draw uric acid levels and determine if the patient is an over producer or undereliminator of uric acid and to aspirate previously effected joints in the search for urate crystals Once the diagnosis of gouty arthritis has been made it is time to manage comorbid conditions eliminate the cause of hyperuricemia and initiate urate lowering medications Tophaceous deposits are the result of longer term untreated or undertreated gout high levels of serum urate diuretic use or treatment with cyclosporine Larger deposits of uric acid may be apparent by visual or tactile inspection or may be determined by radiography or MRI
Treatment for acute gout should be initiated as soon as gout flare symptoms are perceived by the patient Gout flares will resolve faster if treatment is initiated right away Because of this the patient and provider should discuss abortive therapies at the initial appointment and the patient should receive counseling on which therapies are appropriate to take immediately upon initiation of a flare Anti-inflammatory medications are the mainstay for treatment of an acute flare but may not be appropriate for all patients due to their renal and cardiovascular side effects Since time is of the essence when treating a gout flare over the counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications may be the medication of choice due to easy access Prescriptions for other medications should be filled as soon as received and kept on hand so therapy can be initiate as quickly as possible Colchicine glucocorticoids and interleukin inhibitors are other medications which may be appropriate to treat an acute gout flare
37
P A R A D I S E V I L L A G E N E W S
Once the initial flare has subsided and the diagnosis of gout has been made prevention strategies should be initiated These strategies include lifestyle modification management of comorbid disease states initiation of urate lowering therapies and prophylactic therapy Since weight loss and a healthy diet has been shown to decrease the risk for gout patients should be encouraged to choose a diet moderate in meat consumption and low in processed or fatty foods and alcohol If a medication is deemed to be the reason for gout every effort to choose an alternative medication should be made Urate lowering medications should be initiated to reduce recurrent attacks and bony formations as well as dissolve any tophi which may have formed Counsel the patient so that he or she understands that treatment for recurrent gout is continuous and lifelong Treatment options may include uricosuric agents which enhance uric acid excretion xanthine oxidase inhibitors which decrease urate formation and uricase enzymes which catalyze the conversion to allantoin a more soluble purine product The goal of therapy is to obtain and maintain a serum urate level of lt6 mgdL by slowly reducing the circulating urate by 1-2 mgdL per month If the patient fails to meet these goals check for adherence to the treatment and life style changes reevaluate the diagnosis or consider an alternative therapy
The keys to successful treatment of gout are proper hydration therapeutic life style changes adherence to treatment and the use of NSAIDS (colchicine or glucocorticoids) for quick resolution of an acute attack Treatment is lifelong but maintaining urate levels lt6 mgdL will result in tophi resolution over time and a reduction in acute attacks of gout As a result of following the treatment and lifestyle changes indicated above the patient may experience less frequent gout flares or may become free of flares all together leading to an improved quality of life

Angel Fingerprints by Barbara Ann Derksen (Paradise Resident)
Angels are a topic of conversation in many homes during the Christmas season We place them on Christmas tree tops and listen as children depicting angels in a Christmas pageant tell shepherds to go to Bethlehem to see the Savior
But do angels really exist Bob Kristensen was about to find out
The day was cool dry and sunny with a crisp feel to the air on this pre-Christmas day in 2001 Bob decided early that morning that he would cut some wood from a neighborrsquos yard She had a dead tree she wanted removed Bob had a hungry wood-eating furnace at home
Completing his regular work schedule early he headed towards the field tools in hand Bob a strong Christian had never encountered an angel knew little about their existence except what the Bible told him so spent very little time thinking about them at all Smiling with his mind on the task at hand and not on angels he slammed the door to his truck and headed toward the large tree
It leaned a little to the north As Bob stared up at it the forty or fifty foot height seemed to reach heaven He knew a good Maple when he saw one and with a girth of three feet Bob knew the tree had been there a long time It had been damaged during a storm so now this tree would feed his furnace for a month or more Bob swung his axe for the first cut
He expected since the tree was leaning north that it would fall in that direction so he notched the north side of the tree He moved around to the south side His chain saw cut into the old bark spewing sawdust in all directions Bob glanced at the top occasionally The tree swayed as he reached the center with his saw sharpened for just such a time as this Before he had time to react the tree fell not to the north as was expected but directly over the spot where he was standing Life did not have time to flash before his eyes as the huge trunk aimed for his head
As if in a flash he was laying on the ground about twelve feet from the base of that huge tree His left leg was underneath the tree where the trunk was bowed He wiggled his foot No pain He stood dusted himself off and checked for broken bones None As he looked again at the tree some men whorsquod been working nearby ran to his side With disbelief and amazement written all over their faces each one asked if he was okay several times
ldquoWhat happened Did any of you see what happenedrdquo Bob looked from one face to the other
The rougher much younger man scratched his head blinked a few times and then replied ldquoIt looked as if you were moving backward very fast but neither of your feet were touching the groundrdquo The man surmised there was a space of about two feet between Bobrsquos feet and the ground under them
That was when Bob began to think about angels really think about them for the first time He left the tree lying where it was and drove as fast as the law would allow toward home He felt giddy almost strange thinking could it be true Bobrsquos wife was not home when he got there and by this time even though he hadnrsquot felt anything hit him soreness began to make itself known in his left front shoulder He decided to investigate Pulling off his shirt he discovered a large bruise
The main part of the bruise was close to baseball size but the entire left side of his chest was swollen He shook his head The only souvenir of his encounter with a tree that probably weighed 3000 pounds was a big ugly bruise
Bob spoke about the incident with a friend later that evening As most of us want to do he began to logically explain his bruise as the remains of the treersquos encounter with his body His friend however posed a good question ldquoIf a three thousand pound tree fell on you and hit you on the chest how could you possibly have gotten out from under itrdquo Bob began to feel that giddy sense of the unknown again Maybe that bruise was from a heavenly hand after all

th
Bob decided to seek his pastorrsquos advice the next day after he saw the five smaller bruises four on the back of his shoulder and one beside the larger bruise
The Bible says that angels are created beings with high intelligencerdquo the pastor began ldquoThey have the abil-ity to make moral judgment but they are spiritual beings without physical bodies The Bible clearly says that there are angels who guard people although I am not convinced that there is necessarily a guardian angel assigned to each person The idea that people who die become angels is not biblical but more an inspira-tional idea and popularized in the movie industryrdquo
He went on to explain that in scripture angels are of a separate created order from mankind ldquoWhen human beings die those who go to heaven remain human beings Angels are created to serve the Lord and the Bible talks about them protecting man Psalm 9111 says For He will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways They will lift you up in their hands so you will not strike your foot against a stonerdquo
The Reverend went on to explain that there are angels like man who are fallen and that God through His Son has provided a redemption plan for man but not for angels
ldquoDo angels help some people but not othersrdquo Bob had a hard time accepting Godrsquos intervention in this situation
ldquoIt would appear so according to Gods higher purposerdquo the pastor answered
Bob went home His senses tingling he took another look at the bruises on his left shoulder Each of the smaller imprints looked like a bruise but was exactly the size of a fingerprint four on his back and one on the front of his shoulder just a little to the right of the large bruise noticed the day before He called his wife
ldquoJean place your hand over those bruisesrdquo He watched in the mirror as she stood in front of him When she placed her smaller palm over the large bruise her thumb and fingers almost fit the exact place where the other bruises lay Bob knew that his angel had moved him out of harmrsquos way He had the hand print to prove it
Bob walks daily with the knowledge that God cares specifically for those who love him He has not encountered another angel but he has experienced Godrsquos caring in other ways He also knows many who act as Godrsquos angels in human form and he hopes he has become one of them

Paul amp Linda Ratte - 11 Nature Drive - moved to Paradise Village from Transcona on October 23 2015 When I
went to visit them they were still trying to get settled in and found they hadnt downsized nearly enough That seems
to be problematic with a lot of us They have been looking for years for a place to retire to and found Paradise Vil-
lage to be exactly what they were looking for They like the countryside the peace and friendliness and enjoy their
own private home garden and yard We talked about all the activities and events held at the Rec Centre and Paul
said thats another thing that attracted them to Paradise Village - the Pool and the Rec Centre Paul is still actively
employed as an electrician for Freshwater Fish but can hardly wait until he retires next year Linda did odd jobs
throughout her life but was basically a stay-at-home mom They have 3 children and 9 grandchildren so did a fair
amount of babysitting which she treasured Lindas interests are bird watching cooking gardening and playing
bingo Paul plays hockey is a backyard mechanic and a jack-of-all trades kind of a guyHad a most enjoyable visit
with Paul and Linda and encouraged them to come out to some of the activities where they will be able to meet other
residents in our beautiful Paradise Village

Sarah was in the fertilized egg business She had several hundred young pullets and ten roosters to
fertilize the eggs She kept records and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was
replaced
This took a lot of time so she bought some tiny bells and attached them to her roosters Each bell
had a different tone so she could tell from a distance which rooster was performing Now she could
sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells
Sarahs favorite rooster old Butch was a very fine specimen but this morning she noticed old
Butchs bell hadnt rung at all When she went to investigate she saw the other roosters were busy
chasing pullets bells-a-ringing but the pullets hearing the roosters coming would run for cover
To Sarahs amazement old Butch had his bell in his beak so it couldnt ring Hed sneak up on a pul-
let do his job and walk on to the next one
Sarah was so proud of old Butch she entered him in a Show and he became an over-
night sensation among the judges
The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the No Bell Peace Prize they
also awarded him the Pulletsurprise as well
Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making Who else but a politician could figure
out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at
sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they werent paying
attention
We hope you voted carefully in the last election You cant always hear the bells

ldquoREDBLACKS represents Ottawas sports history and pays tribute to the Ottawa men and women who serve our country From the original Rough Riders in the 1890s to the modern Ottawa Senators Hockey Club red and black are the colours of Ottawa sport
The Edmonton Eskimos are named for the Eskimo or Inuit of northern Canada While not located in the far north land of the Inuit the nickname Eskimos was likely adopted for the alliterative effect and as a reference to Edmontons northern location The original name was Esquimaux from 1897 to 1910 from the archaic French spelling Edmonton has faced some pressure in the past couple decades to change their team name most recently in 2011 and 2014 Edmonton has a long history of teams with the Eskimo name in hockey baseball and other sports

Gout
Gout a rheumatic disease which results from the deposition of uric acid crystals in tissues and fluids manifests as sudden severe attacks of pain The typical presentation of gout is tenderness and pain in the big toe but the patient may experience an atypical presentation where any joint can be affected Gout occurs as a result of urate production (either normal or excessive) and the kidneys lack of ability to process the urate and eliminate it from the body fast enough What the body cannot excrete it will store In the case of excess urate the body will attempt to store it in the joint spaces This will result in recurrent attacks of inflammation chronic arthropathy topaceous deposits and potentially uric acid nephrolithiasis
The cause of gout can be due to high uric acid levels (primary) or due to the result of another disease state medication or various other reasons such as dietary indiscretion (secondary) The majority of patients who experience gout will match the typical profile older obese male frequent alcohol intake hypertensive hyperlipidemic Patients who do not meet this profile may be misdiagnosed therefore be on the lookout for patients who may experience gouty arthritis related to medications or poor lifestyle choices Predisposing factors may include high consumption of meat seafood fatty or processed foods or alcohol Trauma surgery dehydration and some medications (diuretics aspirin) may also precipitate a gout attack
There are three clinical syndromes associated with gouty arthritis acute gouty arthritis intercritical gout (or interval gout) and chronic recurrent and tophaceous gout Acute gouty arthritis is characterized by severe pain redness and swelling which reach the maximum in 24 hours and dissipate after that usually completely resolving in a few days or a week As mentioned before the big toe is the typical site of involvement but any joint can be involved Lab tests performed during this period may be nonspecific for gout and uric acid levels maybe either high or low during an attack making the diagnosis difficult Aspiration of the joint space may produce urate crystals Once the acute period has subsided the patient is said to have entered the intercritical period which is the symptom free period between flares This is the time to draw uric acid levels and determine if the patient is an over producer or undereliminator of uric acid and to aspirate previously effected joints in the search for urate crystals Once the diagnosis of gouty arthritis has been made it is time to manage comorbid conditions eliminate the cause of hyperuricemia and initiate urate lowering medications Tophaceous deposits are the result of longer term untreated or undertreated gout high levels of serum urate diuretic use or treatment with cyclosporine Larger deposits of uric acid may be apparent by visual or tactile inspection or may be determined by radiography or MRI
Treatment for acute gout should be initiated as soon as gout flare symptoms are perceived by the patient Gout flares will resolve faster if treatment is initiated right away Because of this the patient and provider should discuss abortive therapies at the initial appointment and the patient should receive counseling on which therapies are appropriate to take immediately upon initiation of a flare Anti-inflammatory medications are the mainstay for treatment of an acute flare but may not be appropriate for all patients due to their renal and cardiovascular side effects Since time is of the essence when treating a gout flare over the counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications may be the medication of choice due to easy access Prescriptions for other medications should be filled as soon as received and kept on hand so therapy can be initiate as quickly as possible Colchicine glucocorticoids and interleukin inhibitors are other medications which may be appropriate to treat an acute gout flare
37
P A R A D I S E V I L L A G E N E W S
Once the initial flare has subsided and the diagnosis of gout has been made prevention strategies should be initiated These strategies include lifestyle modification management of comorbid disease states initiation of urate lowering therapies and prophylactic therapy Since weight loss and a healthy diet has been shown to decrease the risk for gout patients should be encouraged to choose a diet moderate in meat consumption and low in processed or fatty foods and alcohol If a medication is deemed to be the reason for gout every effort to choose an alternative medication should be made Urate lowering medications should be initiated to reduce recurrent attacks and bony formations as well as dissolve any tophi which may have formed Counsel the patient so that he or she understands that treatment for recurrent gout is continuous and lifelong Treatment options may include uricosuric agents which enhance uric acid excretion xanthine oxidase inhibitors which decrease urate formation and uricase enzymes which catalyze the conversion to allantoin a more soluble purine product The goal of therapy is to obtain and maintain a serum urate level of lt6 mgdL by slowly reducing the circulating urate by 1-2 mgdL per month If the patient fails to meet these goals check for adherence to the treatment and life style changes reevaluate the diagnosis or consider an alternative therapy
The keys to successful treatment of gout are proper hydration therapeutic life style changes adherence to treatment and the use of NSAIDS (colchicine or glucocorticoids) for quick resolution of an acute attack Treatment is lifelong but maintaining urate levels lt6 mgdL will result in tophi resolution over time and a reduction in acute attacks of gout As a result of following the treatment and lifestyle changes indicated above the patient may experience less frequent gout flares or may become free of flares all together leading to an improved quality of life

th
Bob decided to seek his pastorrsquos advice the next day after he saw the five smaller bruises four on the back of his shoulder and one beside the larger bruise
The Bible says that angels are created beings with high intelligencerdquo the pastor began ldquoThey have the abil-ity to make moral judgment but they are spiritual beings without physical bodies The Bible clearly says that there are angels who guard people although I am not convinced that there is necessarily a guardian angel assigned to each person The idea that people who die become angels is not biblical but more an inspira-tional idea and popularized in the movie industryrdquo
He went on to explain that in scripture angels are of a separate created order from mankind ldquoWhen human beings die those who go to heaven remain human beings Angels are created to serve the Lord and the Bible talks about them protecting man Psalm 9111 says For He will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways They will lift you up in their hands so you will not strike your foot against a stonerdquo
The Reverend went on to explain that there are angels like man who are fallen and that God through His Son has provided a redemption plan for man but not for angels
ldquoDo angels help some people but not othersrdquo Bob had a hard time accepting Godrsquos intervention in this situation
ldquoIt would appear so according to Gods higher purposerdquo the pastor answered
Bob went home His senses tingling he took another look at the bruises on his left shoulder Each of the smaller imprints looked like a bruise but was exactly the size of a fingerprint four on his back and one on the front of his shoulder just a little to the right of the large bruise noticed the day before He called his wife
ldquoJean place your hand over those bruisesrdquo He watched in the mirror as she stood in front of him When she placed her smaller palm over the large bruise her thumb and fingers almost fit the exact place where the other bruises lay Bob knew that his angel had moved him out of harmrsquos way He had the hand print to prove it
Bob walks daily with the knowledge that God cares specifically for those who love him He has not encountered another angel but he has experienced Godrsquos caring in other ways He also knows many who act as Godrsquos angels in human form and he hopes he has become one of them

lage to be exactly what they were looking for They like the countryside the peace and friendliness and enjoy their
own private home garden and yard We talked about all the activities and events held at the Rec Centre and Paul
said thats another thing that attracted them to Paradise Village - the Pool and the Rec Centre Paul is still actively
employed as an electrician for Freshwater Fish but can hardly wait until he retires next year Linda did odd jobs
throughout her life but was basically a stay-at-home mom They have 3 children and 9 grandchildren so did a fair
amount of babysitting which she treasured Lindas interests are bird watching cooking gardening and playing
bingo Paul plays hockey is a backyard mechanic and a jack-of-all trades kind of a guyHad a most enjoyable visit
with Paul and Linda and encouraged them to come out to some of the activities where they will be able to meet other

Sarah was in the fertilized egg business She had several hundred young pullets and ten roosters to
fertilize the eggs She kept records and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was
replaced
This took a lot of time so she bought some tiny bells and attached them to her roosters Each bell
had a different tone so she could tell from a distance which rooster was performing Now she could
sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells
Sarahs favorite rooster old Butch was a very fine specimen but this morning she noticed old
Butchs bell hadnt rung at all When she went to investigate she saw the other roosters were busy
chasing pullets bells-a-ringing but the pullets hearing the roosters coming would run for cover
To Sarahs amazement old Butch had his bell in his beak so it couldnt ring Hed sneak up on a pul-
let do his job and walk on to the next one
Sarah was so proud of old Butch she entered him in a Show and he became an over-
night sensation among the judges
The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the No Bell Peace Prize they
also awarded him the Pulletsurprise as well
Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making Who else but a politician could figure
out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at
sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they werent paying
attention
We hope you voted carefully in the last election You cant always hear the bells

ldquoREDBLACKS represents Ottawas sports history and pays tribute to the Ottawa men and women who serve our country From the original Rough Riders in the 1890s to the modern Ottawa Senators Hockey Club red and black are the colours of Ottawa sport
The Edmonton Eskimos are named for the Eskimo or Inuit of northern Canada While not located in the far north land of the Inuit the nickname Eskimos was likely adopted for the alliterative effect and as a reference to Edmontons northern location The original name was Esquimaux from 1897 to 1910 from the archaic French spelling Edmonton has faced some pressure in the past couple decades to change their team name most recently in 2011 and 2014 Edmonton has a long history of teams with the Eskimo name in hockey baseball and other sports

Gout
Gout a rheumatic disease which results from the deposition of uric acid crystals in tissues and fluids manifests as sudden severe attacks of pain The typical presentation of gout is tenderness and pain in the big toe but the patient may experience an atypical presentation where any joint can be affected Gout occurs as a result of urate production (either normal or excessive) and the kidneys lack of ability to process the urate and eliminate it from the body fast enough What the body cannot excrete it will store In the case of excess urate the body will attempt to store it in the joint spaces This will result in recurrent attacks of inflammation chronic arthropathy topaceous deposits and potentially uric acid nephrolithiasis
The cause of gout can be due to high uric acid levels (primary) or due to the result of another disease state medication or various other reasons such as dietary indiscretion (secondary) The majority of patients who experience gout will match the typical profile older obese male frequent alcohol intake hypertensive hyperlipidemic Patients who do not meet this profile may be misdiagnosed therefore be on the lookout for patients who may experience gouty arthritis related to medications or poor lifestyle choices Predisposing factors may include high consumption of meat seafood fatty or processed foods or alcohol Trauma surgery dehydration and some medications (diuretics aspirin) may also precipitate a gout attack
There are three clinical syndromes associated with gouty arthritis acute gouty arthritis intercritical gout (or interval gout) and chronic recurrent and tophaceous gout Acute gouty arthritis is characterized by severe pain redness and swelling which reach the maximum in 24 hours and dissipate after that usually completely resolving in a few days or a week As mentioned before the big toe is the typical site of involvement but any joint can be involved Lab tests performed during this period may be nonspecific for gout and uric acid levels maybe either high or low during an attack making the diagnosis difficult Aspiration of the joint space may produce urate crystals Once the acute period has subsided the patient is said to have entered the intercritical period which is the symptom free period between flares This is the time to draw uric acid levels and determine if the patient is an over producer or undereliminator of uric acid and to aspirate previously effected joints in the search for urate crystals Once the diagnosis of gouty arthritis has been made it is time to manage comorbid conditions eliminate the cause of hyperuricemia and initiate urate lowering medications Tophaceous deposits are the result of longer term untreated or undertreated gout high levels of serum urate diuretic use or treatment with cyclosporine Larger deposits of uric acid may be apparent by visual or tactile inspection or may be determined by radiography or MRI
Treatment for acute gout should be initiated as soon as gout flare symptoms are perceived by the patient Gout flares will resolve faster if treatment is initiated right away Because of this the patient and provider should discuss abortive therapies at the initial appointment and the patient should receive counseling on which therapies are appropriate to take immediately upon initiation of a flare Anti-inflammatory medications are the mainstay for treatment of an acute flare but may not be appropriate for all patients due to their renal and cardiovascular side effects Since time is of the essence when treating a gout flare over the counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications may be the medication of choice due to easy access Prescriptions for other medications should be filled as soon as received and kept on hand so therapy can be initiate as quickly as possible Colchicine glucocorticoids and interleukin inhibitors are other medications which may be appropriate to treat an acute gout flare

P A R A D I S E V I L L A G E N E W S
Once the initial flare has subsided and the diagnosis of gout has been made prevention strategies should be initiated These strategies include lifestyle modification management of comorbid disease states initiation of urate lowering therapies and prophylactic therapy Since weight loss and a healthy diet has been shown to decrease the risk for gout patients should be encouraged to choose a diet moderate in meat consumption and low in processed or fatty foods and alcohol If a medication is deemed to be the reason for gout every effort to choose an alternative medication should be made Urate lowering medications should be initiated to reduce recurrent attacks and bony formations as well as dissolve any tophi which may have formed Counsel the patient so that he or she understands that treatment for recurrent gout is continuous and lifelong Treatment options may include uricosuric agents which enhance uric acid excretion xanthine oxidase inhibitors which decrease urate formation and uricase enzymes which catalyze the conversion to allantoin a more soluble purine product The goal of therapy is to obtain and maintain a serum urate level of lt6 mgdL by slowly reducing the circulating urate by 1-2 mgdL per month If the patient fails to meet these goals check for adherence to the treatment and life style changes reevaluate the diagnosis or consider an alternative therapy
The keys to successful treatment of gout are proper hydration therapeutic life style changes adherence to treatment and the use of NSAIDS (colchicine or glucocorticoids) for quick resolution of an acute attack Treatment is lifelong but maintaining urate levels lt6 mgdL will result in tophi resolution over time and a reduction in acute attacks of gout As a result of following the treatment and lifestyle changes indicated above the patient may experience less frequent gout flares or may become free of flares all together leading to an improved quality of life

Paul amp Linda Ratte - 11 Nature Drive - moved to Paradise Village from Transcona on October 23 2015 When I
went to visit them they were still trying to get settled in and found they hadnt downsized nearly enough That seems
to be problematic with a lot of us They have been looking for years for a place to retire to and found Paradise Vil-
lage to be exactly what they were looking for They like the countryside the peace and friendliness and enjoy their
own private home garden and yard We talked about all the activities and events held at the Rec Centre and Paul
said thats another thing that attracted them to Paradise Village - the Pool and the Rec Centre Paul is still actively
employed as an electrician for Freshwater Fish but can hardly wait until he retires next year Linda did odd jobs
throughout her life but was basically a stay-at-home mom They have 3 children and 9 grandchildren so did a fair
amount of babysitting which she treasured Lindas interests are bird watching cooking gardening and playing
bingo Paul plays hockey is a backyard mechanic and a jack-of-all trades kind of a guyHad a most enjoyable visit
with Paul and Linda and encouraged them to come out to some of the activities where they will be able to meet other
residents in our beautiful Paradise Village

Sarah was in the fertilized egg business She had several hundred young pullets and ten roosters to
fertilize the eggs She kept records and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was
replaced
This took a lot of time so she bought some tiny bells and attached them to her roosters Each bell
had a different tone so she could tell from a distance which rooster was performing Now she could
sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells
Sarahs favorite rooster old Butch was a very fine specimen but this morning she noticed old
Butchs bell hadnt rung at all When she went to investigate she saw the other roosters were busy
chasing pullets bells-a-ringing but the pullets hearing the roosters coming would run for cover
To Sarahs amazement old Butch had his bell in his beak so it couldnt ring Hed sneak up on a pul-
let do his job and walk on to the next one
Sarah was so proud of old Butch she entered him in a Show and he became an over-
night sensation among the judges
The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the No Bell Peace Prize they
also awarded him the Pulletsurprise as well
Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making Who else but a politician could figure
out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at
sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they werent paying
attention
We hope you voted carefully in the last election You cant always hear the bells

The Edmonton Eskimos are named for the Eskimo or Inuit of northern Canada While not located in the far north land of the Inuit the nickname Eskimos was likely adopted for the alliterative effect and as a reference to Edmontons northern location The original name was Esquimaux from 1897 to 1910 from the archaic French spelling Edmonton has faced some pressure in the past couple decades to change their team name most recently in 2011 and 2014 Edmonton has a long history of teams with the Eskimo name in hockey baseball and other sports

Gout
Gout a rheumatic disease which results from the deposition of uric acid crystals in tissues and fluids manifests as sudden severe attacks of pain The typical presentation of gout is tenderness and pain in the big toe but the patient may experience an atypical presentation where any joint can be affected Gout occurs as a result of urate production (either normal or excessive) and the kidneys lack of ability to process the urate and eliminate it from the body fast enough What the body cannot excrete it will store In the case of excess urate the body will attempt to store it in the joint spaces This will result in recurrent attacks of inflammation chronic arthropathy topaceous deposits and potentially uric acid nephrolithiasis
The cause of gout can be due to high uric acid levels (primary) or due to the result of another disease state medication or various other reasons such as dietary indiscretion (secondary) The majority of patients who experience gout will match the typical profile older obese male frequent alcohol intake hypertensive hyperlipidemic Patients who do not meet this profile may be misdiagnosed therefore be on the lookout for patients who may experience gouty arthritis related to medications or poor lifestyle choices Predisposing factors may include high consumption of meat seafood fatty or processed foods or alcohol Trauma surgery dehydration and some medications (diuretics aspirin) may also precipitate a gout attack
There are three clinical syndromes associated with gouty arthritis acute gouty arthritis intercritical gout (or interval gout) and chronic recurrent and tophaceous gout Acute gouty arthritis is characterized by severe pain redness and swelling which reach the maximum in 24 hours and dissipate after that usually completely resolving in a few days or a week As mentioned before the big toe is the typical site of involvement but any joint can be involved Lab tests performed during this period may be nonspecific for gout and uric acid levels maybe either high or low during an attack making the diagnosis difficult Aspiration of the joint space may produce urate crystals Once the acute period has subsided the patient is said to have entered the intercritical period which is the symptom free period between flares This is the time to draw uric acid levels and determine if the patient is an over producer or undereliminator of uric acid and to aspirate previously effected joints in the search for urate crystals Once the diagnosis of gouty arthritis has been made it is time to manage comorbid conditions eliminate the cause of hyperuricemia and initiate urate lowering medications Tophaceous deposits are the result of longer term untreated or undertreated gout high levels of serum urate diuretic use or treatment with cyclosporine Larger deposits of uric acid may be apparent by visual or tactile inspection or may be determined by radiography or MRI
Treatment for acute gout should be initiated as soon as gout flare symptoms are perceived by the patient Gout flares will resolve faster if treatment is initiated right away Because of this the patient and provider should discuss abortive therapies at the initial appointment and the patient should receive counseling on which therapies are appropriate to take immediately upon initiation of a flare Anti-inflammatory medications are the mainstay for treatment of an acute flare but may not be appropriate for all patients due to their renal and cardiovascular side effects Since time is of the essence when treating a gout flare over the counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications may be the medication of choice due to easy access Prescriptions for other medications should be filled as soon as received and kept on hand so therapy can be initiate as quickly as possible Colchicine glucocorticoids and interleukin inhibitors are other medications which may be appropriate to treat an acute gout flare
37
P A R A D I S E V I L L A G E N E W S
Once the initial flare has subsided and the diagnosis of gout has been made prevention strategies should be initiated These strategies include lifestyle modification management of comorbid disease states initiation of urate lowering therapies and prophylactic therapy Since weight loss and a healthy diet has been shown to decrease the risk for gout patients should be encouraged to choose a diet moderate in meat consumption and low in processed or fatty foods and alcohol If a medication is deemed to be the reason for gout every effort to choose an alternative medication should be made Urate lowering medications should be initiated to reduce recurrent attacks and bony formations as well as dissolve any tophi which may have formed Counsel the patient so that he or she understands that treatment for recurrent gout is continuous and lifelong Treatment options may include uricosuric agents which enhance uric acid excretion xanthine oxidase inhibitors which decrease urate formation and uricase enzymes which catalyze the conversion to allantoin a more soluble purine product The goal of therapy is to obtain and maintain a serum urate level of lt6 mgdL by slowly reducing the circulating urate by 1-2 mgdL per month If the patient fails to meet these goals check for adherence to the treatment and life style changes reevaluate the diagnosis or consider an alternative therapy
The keys to successful treatment of gout are proper hydration therapeutic life style changes adherence to treatment and the use of NSAIDS (colchicine or glucocorticoids) for quick resolution of an acute attack Treatment is lifelong but maintaining urate levels lt6 mgdL will result in tophi resolution over time and a reduction in acute attacks of gout As a result of following the treatment and lifestyle changes indicated above the patient may experience less frequent gout flares or may become free of flares all together leading to an improved quality of life

done a beautiful job of renovating the interior of their home while Pat has done wonders with the decorating They
have other plans but everything will get done before they officially move in before they retire What a talented
couple We had a great visit over a cup of coffee discussing all the events and activities that are offered in our
Village and at the Recreation Center They both work for WRE Development and have been there for 34 years Pat is
the property manager and Ray is the maintenance person Pats hobbies include decorating cooking reading and
music Ray likes to play pool play music swim paint and is a jack-of-all trades Between them there are 4 children
and 8 grandchildren Their family is very important to them and they spend as much time as they can with them
Again Ray and Pat I would like to welcome you to our beautiful Paradise Village and hope to see you soon at some of
the events that are held here This is a good time to meet some of the other residents

2015 They are absolutely happy with their move They love the 55 plus lifestyle the friendliness the peaceful
setting and they also have friends living in Paradise Village It is for all these reasons that they moved here They
have two beautiful Boxers Lacey and Missy Had a great conversation with Stuart and Donece going over all the

Paul amp Linda Ratte - 11 Nature Drive - moved to Paradise Village from Transcona on October 23 2015 When I
went to visit them they were still trying to get settled in and found they hadnt downsized nearly enough That seems
to be problematic with a lot of us They have been looking for years for a place to retire to and found Paradise Vil-
lage to be exactly what they were looking for They like the countryside the peace and friendliness and enjoy their
own private home garden and yard We talked about all the activities and events held at the Rec Centre and Paul
said thats another thing that attracted them to Paradise Village - the Pool and the Rec Centre Paul is still actively
employed as an electrician for Freshwater Fish but can hardly wait until he retires next year Linda did odd jobs
throughout her life but was basically a stay-at-home mom They have 3 children and 9 grandchildren so did a fair
amount of babysitting which she treasured Lindas interests are bird watching cooking gardening and playing
bingo Paul plays hockey is a backyard mechanic and a jack-of-all trades kind of a guyHad a most enjoyable visit
with Paul and Linda and encouraged them to come out to some of the activities where they will be able to meet other
residents in our beautiful Paradise Village

Sarah was in the fertilized egg business She had several hundred young pullets and ten roosters to
fertilize the eggs She kept records and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was
replaced
This took a lot of time so she bought some tiny bells and attached them to her roosters Each bell
had a different tone so she could tell from a distance which rooster was performing Now she could
sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells
Sarahs favorite rooster old Butch was a very fine specimen but this morning she noticed old
Butchs bell hadnt rung at all When she went to investigate she saw the other roosters were busy
chasing pullets bells-a-ringing but the pullets hearing the roosters coming would run for cover
To Sarahs amazement old Butch had his bell in his beak so it couldnt ring Hed sneak up on a pul-
let do his job and walk on to the next one
Sarah was so proud of old Butch she entered him in a Show and he became an over-
night sensation among the judges
The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the No Bell Peace Prize they
also awarded him the Pulletsurprise as well
Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making Who else but a politician could figure
out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at
sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they werent paying
attention
We hope you voted carefully in the last election You cant always hear the bells

ldquoREDBLACKS represents Ottawas sports history and pays tribute to the Ottawa men and women who serve our country From the original Rough Riders in the 1890s to the modern Ottawa Senators Hockey Club red and black are the colours of Ottawa sport
The Edmonton Eskimos are named for the Eskimo or Inuit of northern Canada While not located in the far north land of the Inuit the nickname Eskimos was likely adopted for the alliterative effect and as a reference to Edmontons northern location The original name was Esquimaux from 1897 to 1910 from the archaic French spelling Edmonton has faced some pressure in the past couple decades to change their team name most recently in 2011 and 2014 Edmonton has a long history of teams with the Eskimo name in hockey baseball and other sports

Gout
Gout a rheumatic disease which results from the deposition of uric acid crystals in tissues and fluids manifests as sudden severe attacks of pain The typical presentation of gout is tenderness and pain in the big toe but the patient may experience an atypical presentation where any joint can be affected Gout occurs as a result of urate production (either normal or excessive) and the kidneys lack of ability to process the urate and eliminate it from the body fast enough What the body cannot excrete it will store In the case of excess urate the body will attempt to store it in the joint spaces This will result in recurrent attacks of inflammation chronic arthropathy topaceous deposits and potentially uric acid nephrolithiasis
The cause of gout can be due to high uric acid levels (primary) or due to the result of another disease state medication or various other reasons such as dietary indiscretion (secondary) The majority of patients who experience gout will match the typical profile older obese male frequent alcohol intake hypertensive hyperlipidemic Patients who do not meet this profile may be misdiagnosed therefore be on the lookout for patients who may experience gouty arthritis related to medications or poor lifestyle choices Predisposing factors may include high consumption of meat seafood fatty or processed foods or alcohol Trauma surgery dehydration and some medications (diuretics aspirin) may also precipitate a gout attack
There are three clinical syndromes associated with gouty arthritis acute gouty arthritis intercritical gout (or interval gout) and chronic recurrent and tophaceous gout Acute gouty arthritis is characterized by severe pain redness and swelling which reach the maximum in 24 hours and dissipate after that usually completely resolving in a few days or a week As mentioned before the big toe is the typical site of involvement but any joint can be involved Lab tests performed during this period may be nonspecific for gout and uric acid levels maybe either high or low during an attack making the diagnosis difficult Aspiration of the joint space may produce urate crystals Once the acute period has subsided the patient is said to have entered the intercritical period which is the symptom free period between flares This is the time to draw uric acid levels and determine if the patient is an over producer or undereliminator of uric acid and to aspirate previously effected joints in the search for urate crystals Once the diagnosis of gouty arthritis has been made it is time to manage comorbid conditions eliminate the cause of hyperuricemia and initiate urate lowering medications Tophaceous deposits are the result of longer term untreated or undertreated gout high levels of serum urate diuretic use or treatment with cyclosporine Larger deposits of uric acid may be apparent by visual or tactile inspection or may be determined by radiography or MRI
Treatment for acute gout should be initiated as soon as gout flare symptoms are perceived by the patient Gout flares will resolve faster if treatment is initiated right away Because of this the patient and provider should discuss abortive therapies at the initial appointment and the patient should receive counseling on which therapies are appropriate to take immediately upon initiation of a flare Anti-inflammatory medications are the mainstay for treatment of an acute flare but may not be appropriate for all patients due to their renal and cardiovascular side effects Since time is of the essence when treating a gout flare over the counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications may be the medication of choice due to easy access Prescriptions for other medications should be filled as soon as received and kept on hand so therapy can be initiate as quickly as possible Colchicine glucocorticoids and interleukin inhibitors are other medications which may be appropriate to treat an acute gout flare

P A R A D I S E V I L L A G E N E W S
Once the initial flare has subsided and the diagnosis of gout has been made prevention strategies should be initiated These strategies include lifestyle modification management of comorbid disease states initiation of urate lowering therapies and prophylactic therapy Since weight loss and a healthy diet has been shown to decrease the risk for gout patients should be encouraged to choose a diet moderate in meat consumption and low in processed or fatty foods and alcohol If a medication is deemed to be the reason for gout every effort to choose an alternative medication should be made Urate lowering medications should be initiated to reduce recurrent attacks and bony formations as well as dissolve any tophi which may have formed Counsel the patient so that he or she understands that treatment for recurrent gout is continuous and lifelong Treatment options may include uricosuric agents which enhance uric acid excretion xanthine oxidase inhibitors which decrease urate formation and uricase enzymes which catalyze the conversion to allantoin a more soluble purine product The goal of therapy is to obtain and maintain a serum urate level of lt6 mgdL by slowly reducing the circulating urate by 1-2 mgdL per month If the patient fails to meet these goals check for adherence to the treatment and life style changes reevaluate the diagnosis or consider an alternative therapy
The keys to successful treatment of gout are proper hydration therapeutic life style changes adherence to treatment and the use of NSAIDS (colchicine or glucocorticoids) for quick resolution of an acute attack Treatment is lifelong but maintaining urate levels lt6 mgdL will result in tophi resolution over time and a reduction in acute attacks of gout As a result of following the treatment and lifestyle changes indicated above the patient may experience less frequent gout flares or may become free of flares all together leading to an improved quality of life

done a beautiful job of renovating the interior of their home while Pat has done wonders with the decorating They
have other plans but everything will get done before they officially move in before they retire What a talented
couple We had a great visit over a cup of coffee discussing all the events and activities that are offered in our
Village and at the Recreation Center They both work for WRE Development and have been there for 34 years Pat is
the property manager and Ray is the maintenance person Pats hobbies include decorating cooking reading and

Paul amp Linda Ratte - 11 Nature Drive - moved to Paradise Village from Transcona on October 23 2015 When I
went to visit them they were still trying to get settled in and found they hadnt downsized nearly enough That seems
to be problematic with a lot of us They have been looking for years for a place to retire to and found Paradise Vil-
lage to be exactly what they were looking for They like the countryside the peace and friendliness and enjoy their
own private home garden and yard We talked about all the activities and events held at the Rec Centre and Paul
said thats another thing that attracted them to Paradise Village - the Pool and the Rec Centre Paul is still actively
employed as an electrician for Freshwater Fish but can hardly wait until he retires next year Linda did odd jobs
throughout her life but was basically a stay-at-home mom They have 3 children and 9 grandchildren so did a fair
amount of babysitting which she treasured Lindas interests are bird watching cooking gardening and playing
bingo Paul plays hockey is a backyard mechanic and a jack-of-all trades kind of a guyHad a most enjoyable visit
with Paul and Linda and encouraged them to come out to some of the activities where they will be able to meet other
residents in our beautiful Paradise Village

Sarah was in the fertilized egg business She had several hundred young pullets and ten roosters to
fertilize the eggs She kept records and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was
replaced
This took a lot of time so she bought some tiny bells and attached them to her roosters Each bell
had a different tone so she could tell from a distance which rooster was performing Now she could
sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells
Sarahs favorite rooster old Butch was a very fine specimen but this morning she noticed old
Butchs bell hadnt rung at all When she went to investigate she saw the other roosters were busy
chasing pullets bells-a-ringing but the pullets hearing the roosters coming would run for cover
To Sarahs amazement old Butch had his bell in his beak so it couldnt ring Hed sneak up on a pul-
let do his job and walk on to the next one
Sarah was so proud of old Butch she entered him in a Show and he became an over-
night sensation among the judges
The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the No Bell Peace Prize they
also awarded him the Pulletsurprise as well
Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making Who else but a politician could figure
out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at
sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they werent paying
attention
We hope you voted carefully in the last election You cant always hear the bells

ldquoREDBLACKS represents Ottawas sports history and pays tribute to the Ottawa men and women who serve our country From the original Rough Riders in the 1890s to the modern Ottawa Senators Hockey Club red and black are the colours of Ottawa sport
The Edmonton Eskimos are named for the Eskimo or Inuit of northern Canada While not located in the far north land of the Inuit the nickname Eskimos was likely adopted for the alliterative effect and as a reference to Edmontons northern location The original name was Esquimaux from 1897 to 1910 from the archaic French spelling Edmonton has faced some pressure in the past couple decades to change their team name most recently in 2011 and 2014 Edmonton has a long history of teams with the Eskimo name in hockey baseball and other sports

Gout
Gout a rheumatic disease which results from the deposition of uric acid crystals in tissues and fluids manifests as sudden severe attacks of pain The typical presentation of gout is tenderness and pain in the big toe but the patient may experience an atypical presentation where any joint can be affected Gout occurs as a result of urate production (either normal or excessive) and the kidneys lack of ability to process the urate and eliminate it from the body fast enough What the body cannot excrete it will store In the case of excess urate the body will attempt to store it in the joint spaces This will result in recurrent attacks of inflammation chronic arthropathy topaceous deposits and potentially uric acid nephrolithiasis
The cause of gout can be due to high uric acid levels (primary) or due to the result of another disease state medication or various other reasons such as dietary indiscretion (secondary) The majority of patients who experience gout will match the typical profile older obese male frequent alcohol intake hypertensive hyperlipidemic Patients who do not meet this profile may be misdiagnosed therefore be on the lookout for patients who may experience gouty arthritis related to medications or poor lifestyle choices Predisposing factors may include high consumption of meat seafood fatty or processed foods or alcohol Trauma surgery dehydration and some medications (diuretics aspirin) may also precipitate a gout attack
There are three clinical syndromes associated with gouty arthritis acute gouty arthritis intercritical gout (or interval gout) and chronic recurrent and tophaceous gout Acute gouty arthritis is characterized by severe pain redness and swelling which reach the maximum in 24 hours and dissipate after that usually completely resolving in a few days or a week As mentioned before the big toe is the typical site of involvement but any joint can be involved Lab tests performed during this period may be nonspecific for gout and uric acid levels maybe either high or low during an attack making the diagnosis difficult Aspiration of the joint space may produce urate crystals Once the acute period has subsided the patient is said to have entered the intercritical period which is the symptom free period between flares This is the time to draw uric acid levels and determine if the patient is an over producer or undereliminator of uric acid and to aspirate previously effected joints in the search for urate crystals Once the diagnosis of gouty arthritis has been made it is time to manage comorbid conditions eliminate the cause of hyperuricemia and initiate urate lowering medications Tophaceous deposits are the result of longer term untreated or undertreated gout high levels of serum urate diuretic use or treatment with cyclosporine Larger deposits of uric acid may be apparent by visual or tactile inspection or may be determined by radiography or MRI
Treatment for acute gout should be initiated as soon as gout flare symptoms are perceived by the patient Gout flares will resolve faster if treatment is initiated right away Because of this the patient and provider should discuss abortive therapies at the initial appointment and the patient should receive counseling on which therapies are appropriate to take immediately upon initiation of a flare Anti-inflammatory medications are the mainstay for treatment of an acute flare but may not be appropriate for all patients due to their renal and cardiovascular side effects Since time is of the essence when treating a gout flare over the counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications may be the medication of choice due to easy access Prescriptions for other medications should be filled as soon as received and kept on hand so therapy can be initiate as quickly as possible Colchicine glucocorticoids and interleukin inhibitors are other medications which may be appropriate to treat an acute gout flare
37
P A R A D I S E V I L L A G E N E W S
Once the initial flare has subsided and the diagnosis of gout has been made prevention strategies should be initiated These strategies include lifestyle modification management of comorbid disease states initiation of urate lowering therapies and prophylactic therapy Since weight loss and a healthy diet has been shown to decrease the risk for gout patients should be encouraged to choose a diet moderate in meat consumption and low in processed or fatty foods and alcohol If a medication is deemed to be the reason for gout every effort to choose an alternative medication should be made Urate lowering medications should be initiated to reduce recurrent attacks and bony formations as well as dissolve any tophi which may have formed Counsel the patient so that he or she understands that treatment for recurrent gout is continuous and lifelong Treatment options may include uricosuric agents which enhance uric acid excretion xanthine oxidase inhibitors which decrease urate formation and uricase enzymes which catalyze the conversion to allantoin a more soluble purine product The goal of therapy is to obtain and maintain a serum urate level of lt6 mgdL by slowly reducing the circulating urate by 1-2 mgdL per month If the patient fails to meet these goals check for adherence to the treatment and life style changes reevaluate the diagnosis or consider an alternative therapy
The keys to successful treatment of gout are proper hydration therapeutic life style changes adherence to treatment and the use of NSAIDS (colchicine or glucocorticoids) for quick resolution of an acute attack Treatment is lifelong but maintaining urate levels lt6 mgdL will result in tophi resolution over time and a reduction in acute attacks of gout As a result of following the treatment and lifestyle changes indicated above the patient may experience less frequent gout flares or may become free of flares all together leading to an improved quality of life

couple We had a great visit over a cup of coffee discussing all the events and activities that are offered in our
Village and at the Recreation Center They both work for WRE Development and have been there for 34 years Pat is
the property manager and Ray is the maintenance person Pats hobbies include decorating cooking reading and
music Ray likes to play pool play music swim paint and is a jack-of-all trades Between them there are 4 children

Paul amp Linda Ratte - 11 Nature Drive - moved to Paradise Village from Transcona on October 23 2015 When I
went to visit them they were still trying to get settled in and found they hadnt downsized nearly enough That seems
to be problematic with a lot of us They have been looking for years for a place to retire to and found Paradise Vil-
lage to be exactly what they were looking for They like the countryside the peace and friendliness and enjoy their
own private home garden and yard We talked about all the activities and events held at the Rec Centre and Paul
said thats another thing that attracted them to Paradise Village - the Pool and the Rec Centre Paul is still actively
employed as an electrician for Freshwater Fish but can hardly wait until he retires next year Linda did odd jobs
throughout her life but was basically a stay-at-home mom They have 3 children and 9 grandchildren so did a fair
amount of babysitting which she treasured Lindas interests are bird watching cooking gardening and playing
bingo Paul plays hockey is a backyard mechanic and a jack-of-all trades kind of a guyHad a most enjoyable visit
with Paul and Linda and encouraged them to come out to some of the activities where they will be able to meet other
residents in our beautiful Paradise Village

Sarah was in the fertilized egg business She had several hundred young pullets and ten roosters to
fertilize the eggs She kept records and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was
replaced
This took a lot of time so she bought some tiny bells and attached them to her roosters Each bell
had a different tone so she could tell from a distance which rooster was performing Now she could
sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells
Sarahs favorite rooster old Butch was a very fine specimen but this morning she noticed old
Butchs bell hadnt rung at all When she went to investigate she saw the other roosters were busy
chasing pullets bells-a-ringing but the pullets hearing the roosters coming would run for cover
To Sarahs amazement old Butch had his bell in his beak so it couldnt ring Hed sneak up on a pul-
let do his job and walk on to the next one
Sarah was so proud of old Butch she entered him in a Show and he became an over-
night sensation among the judges
The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the No Bell Peace Prize they
also awarded him the Pulletsurprise as well
Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making Who else but a politician could figure
out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at
sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they werent paying
attention
We hope you voted carefully in the last election You cant always hear the bells

ldquoREDBLACKS represents Ottawas sports history and pays tribute to the Ottawa men and women who serve our country From the original Rough Riders in the 1890s to the modern Ottawa Senators Hockey Club red and black are the colours of Ottawa sport
The Edmonton Eskimos are named for the Eskimo or Inuit of northern Canada While not located in the far north land of the Inuit the nickname Eskimos was likely adopted for the alliterative effect and as a reference to Edmontons northern location The original name was Esquimaux from 1897 to 1910 from the archaic French spelling Edmonton has faced some pressure in the past couple decades to change their team name most recently in 2011 and 2014 Edmonton has a long history of teams with the Eskimo name in hockey baseball and other sports

Gout
Gout a rheumatic disease which results from the deposition of uric acid crystals in tissues and fluids manifests as sudden severe attacks of pain The typical presentation of gout is tenderness and pain in the big toe but the patient may experience an atypical presentation where any joint can be affected Gout occurs as a result of urate production (either normal or excessive) and the kidneys lack of ability to process the urate and eliminate it from the body fast enough What the body cannot excrete it will store In the case of excess urate the body will attempt to store it in the joint spaces This will result in recurrent attacks of inflammation chronic arthropathy topaceous deposits and potentially uric acid nephrolithiasis
The cause of gout can be due to high uric acid levels (primary) or due to the result of another disease state medication or various other reasons such as dietary indiscretion (secondary) The majority of patients who experience gout will match the typical profile older obese male frequent alcohol intake hypertensive hyperlipidemic Patients who do not meet this profile may be misdiagnosed therefore be on the lookout for patients who may experience gouty arthritis related to medications or poor lifestyle choices Predisposing factors may include high consumption of meat seafood fatty or processed foods or alcohol Trauma surgery dehydration and some medications (diuretics aspirin) may also precipitate a gout attack
There are three clinical syndromes associated with gouty arthritis acute gouty arthritis intercritical gout (or interval gout) and chronic recurrent and tophaceous gout Acute gouty arthritis is characterized by severe pain redness and swelling which reach the maximum in 24 hours and dissipate after that usually completely resolving in a few days or a week As mentioned before the big toe is the typical site of involvement but any joint can be involved Lab tests performed during this period may be nonspecific for gout and uric acid levels maybe either high or low during an attack making the diagnosis difficult Aspiration of the joint space may produce urate crystals Once the acute period has subsided the patient is said to have entered the intercritical period which is the symptom free period between flares This is the time to draw uric acid levels and determine if the patient is an over producer or undereliminator of uric acid and to aspirate previously effected joints in the search for urate crystals Once the diagnosis of gouty arthritis has been made it is time to manage comorbid conditions eliminate the cause of hyperuricemia and initiate urate lowering medications Tophaceous deposits are the result of longer term untreated or undertreated gout high levels of serum urate diuretic use or treatment with cyclosporine Larger deposits of uric acid may be apparent by visual or tactile inspection or may be determined by radiography or MRI
Treatment for acute gout should be initiated as soon as gout flare symptoms are perceived by the patient Gout flares will resolve faster if treatment is initiated right away Because of this the patient and provider should discuss abortive therapies at the initial appointment and the patient should receive counseling on which therapies are appropriate to take immediately upon initiation of a flare Anti-inflammatory medications are the mainstay for treatment of an acute flare but may not be appropriate for all patients due to their renal and cardiovascular side effects Since time is of the essence when treating a gout flare over the counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications may be the medication of choice due to easy access Prescriptions for other medications should be filled as soon as received and kept on hand so therapy can be initiate as quickly as possible Colchicine glucocorticoids and interleukin inhibitors are other medications which may be appropriate to treat an acute gout flare

P A R A D I S E V I L L A G E N E W S
Once the initial flare has subsided and the diagnosis of gout has been made prevention strategies should be initiated These strategies include lifestyle modification management of comorbid disease states initiation of urate lowering therapies and prophylactic therapy Since weight loss and a healthy diet has been shown to decrease the risk for gout patients should be encouraged to choose a diet moderate in meat consumption and low in processed or fatty foods and alcohol If a medication is deemed to be the reason for gout every effort to choose an alternative medication should be made Urate lowering medications should be initiated to reduce recurrent attacks and bony formations as well as dissolve any tophi which may have formed Counsel the patient so that he or she understands that treatment for recurrent gout is continuous and lifelong Treatment options may include uricosuric agents which enhance uric acid excretion xanthine oxidase inhibitors which decrease urate formation and uricase enzymes which catalyze the conversion to allantoin a more soluble purine product The goal of therapy is to obtain and maintain a serum urate level of lt6 mgdL by slowly reducing the circulating urate by 1-2 mgdL per month If the patient fails to meet these goals check for adherence to the treatment and life style changes reevaluate the diagnosis or consider an alternative therapy
The keys to successful treatment of gout are proper hydration therapeutic life style changes adherence to treatment and the use of NSAIDS (colchicine or glucocorticoids) for quick resolution of an acute attack Treatment is lifelong but maintaining urate levels lt6 mgdL will result in tophi resolution over time and a reduction in acute attacks of gout As a result of following the treatment and lifestyle changes indicated above the patient may experience less frequent gout flares or may become free of flares all together leading to an improved quality of life

Paul amp Linda Ratte - 11 Nature Drive - moved to Paradise Village from Transcona on October 23 2015 When I
went to visit them they were still trying to get settled in and found they hadnt downsized nearly enough That seems
to be problematic with a lot of us They have been looking for years for a place to retire to and found Paradise Vil-
lage to be exactly what they were looking for They like the countryside the peace and friendliness and enjoy their
own private home garden and yard We talked about all the activities and events held at the Rec Centre and Paul
said thats another thing that attracted them to Paradise Village - the Pool and the Rec Centre Paul is still actively
employed as an electrician for Freshwater Fish but can hardly wait until he retires next year Linda did odd jobs
throughout her life but was basically a stay-at-home mom They have 3 children and 9 grandchildren so did a fair
amount of babysitting which she treasured Lindas interests are bird watching cooking gardening and playing
bingo Paul plays hockey is a backyard mechanic and a jack-of-all trades kind of a guyHad a most enjoyable visit
with Paul and Linda and encouraged them to come out to some of the activities where they will be able to meet other
residents in our beautiful Paradise Village

Sarah was in the fertilized egg business She had several hundred young pullets and ten roosters to
fertilize the eggs She kept records and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was
replaced
This took a lot of time so she bought some tiny bells and attached them to her roosters Each bell
had a different tone so she could tell from a distance which rooster was performing Now she could
sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells
Sarahs favorite rooster old Butch was a very fine specimen but this morning she noticed old
Butchs bell hadnt rung at all When she went to investigate she saw the other roosters were busy
chasing pullets bells-a-ringing but the pullets hearing the roosters coming would run for cover
To Sarahs amazement old Butch had his bell in his beak so it couldnt ring Hed sneak up on a pul-
let do his job and walk on to the next one
Sarah was so proud of old Butch she entered him in a Show and he became an over-
night sensation among the judges
The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the No Bell Peace Prize they
also awarded him the Pulletsurprise as well
Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making Who else but a politician could figure
out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at
sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they werent paying
attention
We hope you voted carefully in the last election You cant always hear the bells

The Edmonton Eskimos are named for the Eskimo or Inuit of northern Canada While not located in the far north land of the Inuit the nickname Eskimos was likely adopted for the alliterative effect and as a reference to Edmontons northern location The original name was Esquimaux from 1897 to 1910 from the archaic French spelling Edmonton has faced some pressure in the past couple decades to change their team name most recently in 2011 and 2014 Edmonton has a long history of teams with the Eskimo name in hockey baseball and other sports

Gout
Gout a rheumatic disease which results from the deposition of uric acid crystals in tissues and fluids manifests as sudden severe attacks of pain The typical presentation of gout is tenderness and pain in the big toe but the patient may experience an atypical presentation where any joint can be affected Gout occurs as a result of urate production (either normal or excessive) and the kidneys lack of ability to process the urate and eliminate it from the body fast enough What the body cannot excrete it will store In the case of excess urate the body will attempt to store it in the joint spaces This will result in recurrent attacks of inflammation chronic arthropathy topaceous deposits and potentially uric acid nephrolithiasis
The cause of gout can be due to high uric acid levels (primary) or due to the result of another disease state medication or various other reasons such as dietary indiscretion (secondary) The majority of patients who experience gout will match the typical profile older obese male frequent alcohol intake hypertensive hyperlipidemic Patients who do not meet this profile may be misdiagnosed therefore be on the lookout for patients who may experience gouty arthritis related to medications or poor lifestyle choices Predisposing factors may include high consumption of meat seafood fatty or processed foods or alcohol Trauma surgery dehydration and some medications (diuretics aspirin) may also precipitate a gout attack
There are three clinical syndromes associated with gouty arthritis acute gouty arthritis intercritical gout (or interval gout) and chronic recurrent and tophaceous gout Acute gouty arthritis is characterized by severe pain redness and swelling which reach the maximum in 24 hours and dissipate after that usually completely resolving in a few days or a week As mentioned before the big toe is the typical site of involvement but any joint can be involved Lab tests performed during this period may be nonspecific for gout and uric acid levels maybe either high or low during an attack making the diagnosis difficult Aspiration of the joint space may produce urate crystals Once the acute period has subsided the patient is said to have entered the intercritical period which is the symptom free period between flares This is the time to draw uric acid levels and determine if the patient is an over producer or undereliminator of uric acid and to aspirate previously effected joints in the search for urate crystals Once the diagnosis of gouty arthritis has been made it is time to manage comorbid conditions eliminate the cause of hyperuricemia and initiate urate lowering medications Tophaceous deposits are the result of longer term untreated or undertreated gout high levels of serum urate diuretic use or treatment with cyclosporine Larger deposits of uric acid may be apparent by visual or tactile inspection or may be determined by radiography or MRI
Treatment for acute gout should be initiated as soon as gout flare symptoms are perceived by the patient Gout flares will resolve faster if treatment is initiated right away Because of this the patient and provider should discuss abortive therapies at the initial appointment and the patient should receive counseling on which therapies are appropriate to take immediately upon initiation of a flare Anti-inflammatory medications are the mainstay for treatment of an acute flare but may not be appropriate for all patients due to their renal and cardiovascular side effects Since time is of the essence when treating a gout flare over the counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications may be the medication of choice due to easy access Prescriptions for other medications should be filled as soon as received and kept on hand so therapy can be initiate as quickly as possible Colchicine glucocorticoids and interleukin inhibitors are other medications which may be appropriate to treat an acute gout flare
37
P A R A D I S E V I L L A G E N E W S
Once the initial flare has subsided and the diagnosis of gout has been made prevention strategies should be initiated These strategies include lifestyle modification management of comorbid disease states initiation of urate lowering therapies and prophylactic therapy Since weight loss and a healthy diet has been shown to decrease the risk for gout patients should be encouraged to choose a diet moderate in meat consumption and low in processed or fatty foods and alcohol If a medication is deemed to be the reason for gout every effort to choose an alternative medication should be made Urate lowering medications should be initiated to reduce recurrent attacks and bony formations as well as dissolve any tophi which may have formed Counsel the patient so that he or she understands that treatment for recurrent gout is continuous and lifelong Treatment options may include uricosuric agents which enhance uric acid excretion xanthine oxidase inhibitors which decrease urate formation and uricase enzymes which catalyze the conversion to allantoin a more soluble purine product The goal of therapy is to obtain and maintain a serum urate level of lt6 mgdL by slowly reducing the circulating urate by 1-2 mgdL per month If the patient fails to meet these goals check for adherence to the treatment and life style changes reevaluate the diagnosis or consider an alternative therapy
The keys to successful treatment of gout are proper hydration therapeutic life style changes adherence to treatment and the use of NSAIDS (colchicine or glucocorticoids) for quick resolution of an acute attack Treatment is lifelong but maintaining urate levels lt6 mgdL will result in tophi resolution over time and a reduction in acute attacks of gout As a result of following the treatment and lifestyle changes indicated above the patient may experience less frequent gout flares or may become free of flares all together leading to an improved quality of life

done a beautiful job of renovating the interior of their home while Pat has done wonders with the decorating They
have other plans but everything will get done before they officially move in before they retire What a talented
couple We had a great visit over a cup of coffee discussing all the events and activities that are offered in our
Village and at the Recreation Center They both work for WRE Development and have been there for 34 years Pat is
the property manager and Ray is the maintenance person Pats hobbies include decorating cooking reading and
music Ray likes to play pool play music swim paint and is a jack-of-all trades Between them there are 4 children
and 8 grandchildren Their family is very important to them and they spend as much time as they can with them

the events that are held here This is a good time to meet some of the other residents

2015 They are absolutely happy with their move They love the 55 plus lifestyle the friendliness the peaceful
setting and they also have friends living in Paradise Village It is for all these reasons that they moved here They

Paul amp Linda Ratte - 11 Nature Drive - moved to Paradise Village from Transcona on October 23 2015 When I
went to visit them they were still trying to get settled in and found they hadnt downsized nearly enough That seems
to be problematic with a lot of us They have been looking for years for a place to retire to and found Paradise Vil-
lage to be exactly what they were looking for They like the countryside the peace and friendliness and enjoy their
own private home garden and yard We talked about all the activities and events held at the Rec Centre and Paul
said thats another thing that attracted them to Paradise Village - the Pool and the Rec Centre Paul is still actively
employed as an electrician for Freshwater Fish but can hardly wait until he retires next year Linda did odd jobs
throughout her life but was basically a stay-at-home mom They have 3 children and 9 grandchildren so did a fair
amount of babysitting which she treasured Lindas interests are bird watching cooking gardening and playing
bingo Paul plays hockey is a backyard mechanic and a jack-of-all trades kind of a guyHad a most enjoyable visit
with Paul and Linda and encouraged them to come out to some of the activities where they will be able to meet other
residents in our beautiful Paradise Village

Sarah was in the fertilized egg business She had several hundred young pullets and ten roosters to
fertilize the eggs She kept records and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was
replaced
This took a lot of time so she bought some tiny bells and attached them to her roosters Each bell
had a different tone so she could tell from a distance which rooster was performing Now she could
sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells
Sarahs favorite rooster old Butch was a very fine specimen but this morning she noticed old
Butchs bell hadnt rung at all When she went to investigate she saw the other roosters were busy
chasing pullets bells-a-ringing but the pullets hearing the roosters coming would run for cover
To Sarahs amazement old Butch had his bell in his beak so it couldnt ring Hed sneak up on a pul-
let do his job and walk on to the next one
Sarah was so proud of old Butch she entered him in a Show and he became an over-
night sensation among the judges
The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the No Bell Peace Prize they
also awarded him the Pulletsurprise as well
Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making Who else but a politician could figure
out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at
sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they werent paying
attention
We hope you voted carefully in the last election You cant always hear the bells

The Edmonton Eskimos are named for the Eskimo or Inuit of northern Canada While not located in the far north land of the Inuit the nickname Eskimos was likely adopted for the alliterative effect and as a reference to Edmontons northern location The original name was Esquimaux from 1897 to 1910 from the archaic French spelling Edmonton has faced some pressure in the past couple decades to change their team name most recently in 2011 and 2014 Edmonton has a long history of teams with the Eskimo name in hockey baseball and other sports

Gout
Gout a rheumatic disease which results from the deposition of uric acid crystals in tissues and fluids manifests as sudden severe attacks of pain The typical presentation of gout is tenderness and pain in the big toe but the patient may experience an atypical presentation where any joint can be affected Gout occurs as a result of urate production (either normal or excessive) and the kidneys lack of ability to process the urate and eliminate it from the body fast enough What the body cannot excrete it will store In the case of excess urate the body will attempt to store it in the joint spaces This will result in recurrent attacks of inflammation chronic arthropathy topaceous deposits and potentially uric acid nephrolithiasis
The cause of gout can be due to high uric acid levels (primary) or due to the result of another disease state medication or various other reasons such as dietary indiscretion (secondary) The majority of patients who experience gout will match the typical profile older obese male frequent alcohol intake hypertensive hyperlipidemic Patients who do not meet this profile may be misdiagnosed therefore be on the lookout for patients who may experience gouty arthritis related to medications or poor lifestyle choices Predisposing factors may include high consumption of meat seafood fatty or processed foods or alcohol Trauma surgery dehydration and some medications (diuretics aspirin) may also precipitate a gout attack
There are three clinical syndromes associated with gouty arthritis acute gouty arthritis intercritical gout (or interval gout) and chronic recurrent and tophaceous gout Acute gouty arthritis is characterized by severe pain redness and swelling which reach the maximum in 24 hours and dissipate after that usually completely resolving in a few days or a week As mentioned before the big toe is the typical site of involvement but any joint can be involved Lab tests performed during this period may be nonspecific for gout and uric acid levels maybe either high or low during an attack making the diagnosis difficult Aspiration of the joint space may produce urate crystals Once the acute period has subsided the patient is said to have entered the intercritical period which is the symptom free period between flares This is the time to draw uric acid levels and determine if the patient is an over producer or undereliminator of uric acid and to aspirate previously effected joints in the search for urate crystals Once the diagnosis of gouty arthritis has been made it is time to manage comorbid conditions eliminate the cause of hyperuricemia and initiate urate lowering medications Tophaceous deposits are the result of longer term untreated or undertreated gout high levels of serum urate diuretic use or treatment with cyclosporine Larger deposits of uric acid may be apparent by visual or tactile inspection or may be determined by radiography or MRI
Treatment for acute gout should be initiated as soon as gout flare symptoms are perceived by the patient Gout flares will resolve faster if treatment is initiated right away Because of this the patient and provider should discuss abortive therapies at the initial appointment and the patient should receive counseling on which therapies are appropriate to take immediately upon initiation of a flare Anti-inflammatory medications are the mainstay for treatment of an acute flare but may not be appropriate for all patients due to their renal and cardiovascular side effects Since time is of the essence when treating a gout flare over the counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications may be the medication of choice due to easy access Prescriptions for other medications should be filled as soon as received and kept on hand so therapy can be initiate as quickly as possible Colchicine glucocorticoids and interleukin inhibitors are other medications which may be appropriate to treat an acute gout flare
37
P A R A D I S E V I L L A G E N E W S
Once the initial flare has subsided and the diagnosis of gout has been made prevention strategies should be initiated These strategies include lifestyle modification management of comorbid disease states initiation of urate lowering therapies and prophylactic therapy Since weight loss and a healthy diet has been shown to decrease the risk for gout patients should be encouraged to choose a diet moderate in meat consumption and low in processed or fatty foods and alcohol If a medication is deemed to be the reason for gout every effort to choose an alternative medication should be made Urate lowering medications should be initiated to reduce recurrent attacks and bony formations as well as dissolve any tophi which may have formed Counsel the patient so that he or she understands that treatment for recurrent gout is continuous and lifelong Treatment options may include uricosuric agents which enhance uric acid excretion xanthine oxidase inhibitors which decrease urate formation and uricase enzymes which catalyze the conversion to allantoin a more soluble purine product The goal of therapy is to obtain and maintain a serum urate level of lt6 mgdL by slowly reducing the circulating urate by 1-2 mgdL per month If the patient fails to meet these goals check for adherence to the treatment and life style changes reevaluate the diagnosis or consider an alternative therapy
The keys to successful treatment of gout are proper hydration therapeutic life style changes adherence to treatment and the use of NSAIDS (colchicine or glucocorticoids) for quick resolution of an acute attack Treatment is lifelong but maintaining urate levels lt6 mgdL will result in tophi resolution over time and a reduction in acute attacks of gout As a result of following the treatment and lifestyle changes indicated above the patient may experience less frequent gout flares or may become free of flares all together leading to an improved quality of life

Sarah was in the fertilized egg business She had several hundred young pullets and ten roosters to
fertilize the eggs She kept records and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was
replaced
This took a lot of time so she bought some tiny bells and attached them to her roosters Each bell
had a different tone so she could tell from a distance which rooster was performing Now she could
sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells
Sarahs favorite rooster old Butch was a very fine specimen but this morning she noticed old
Butchs bell hadnt rung at all When she went to investigate she saw the other roosters were busy
chasing pullets bells-a-ringing but the pullets hearing the roosters coming would run for cover
To Sarahs amazement old Butch had his bell in his beak so it couldnt ring Hed sneak up on a pul-
let do his job and walk on to the next one
Sarah was so proud of old Butch she entered him in a Show and he became an over-
night sensation among the judges
The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the No Bell Peace Prize they
also awarded him the Pulletsurprise as well
Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making Who else but a politician could figure
out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at
sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they werent paying
attention
We hope you voted carefully in the last election You cant always hear the bells

ldquoREDBLACKS represents Ottawas sports history and pays tribute to the Ottawa men and women who serve our country From the original Rough Riders in the 1890s to the modern Ottawa Senators Hockey Club red and black are the colours of Ottawa sport
The Edmonton Eskimos are named for the Eskimo or Inuit of northern Canada While not located in the far north land of the Inuit the nickname Eskimos was likely adopted for the alliterative effect and as a reference to Edmontons northern location The original name was Esquimaux from 1897 to 1910 from the archaic French spelling Edmonton has faced some pressure in the past couple decades to change their team name most recently in 2011 and 2014 Edmonton has a long history of teams with the Eskimo name in hockey baseball and other sports

Gout
Gout a rheumatic disease which results from the deposition of uric acid crystals in tissues and fluids manifests as sudden severe attacks of pain The typical presentation of gout is tenderness and pain in the big toe but the patient may experience an atypical presentation where any joint can be affected Gout occurs as a result of urate production (either normal or excessive) and the kidneys lack of ability to process the urate and eliminate it from the body fast enough What the body cannot excrete it will store In the case of excess urate the body will attempt to store it in the joint spaces This will result in recurrent attacks of inflammation chronic arthropathy topaceous deposits and potentially uric acid nephrolithiasis
The cause of gout can be due to high uric acid levels (primary) or due to the result of another disease state medication or various other reasons such as dietary indiscretion (secondary) The majority of patients who experience gout will match the typical profile older obese male frequent alcohol intake hypertensive hyperlipidemic Patients who do not meet this profile may be misdiagnosed therefore be on the lookout for patients who may experience gouty arthritis related to medications or poor lifestyle choices Predisposing factors may include high consumption of meat seafood fatty or processed foods or alcohol Trauma surgery dehydration and some medications (diuretics aspirin) may also precipitate a gout attack
There are three clinical syndromes associated with gouty arthritis acute gouty arthritis intercritical gout (or interval gout) and chronic recurrent and tophaceous gout Acute gouty arthritis is characterized by severe pain redness and swelling which reach the maximum in 24 hours and dissipate after that usually completely resolving in a few days or a week As mentioned before the big toe is the typical site of involvement but any joint can be involved Lab tests performed during this period may be nonspecific for gout and uric acid levels maybe either high or low during an attack making the diagnosis difficult Aspiration of the joint space may produce urate crystals Once the acute period has subsided the patient is said to have entered the intercritical period which is the symptom free period between flares This is the time to draw uric acid levels and determine if the patient is an over producer or undereliminator of uric acid and to aspirate previously effected joints in the search for urate crystals Once the diagnosis of gouty arthritis has been made it is time to manage comorbid conditions eliminate the cause of hyperuricemia and initiate urate lowering medications Tophaceous deposits are the result of longer term untreated or undertreated gout high levels of serum urate diuretic use or treatment with cyclosporine Larger deposits of uric acid may be apparent by visual or tactile inspection or may be determined by radiography or MRI
Treatment for acute gout should be initiated as soon as gout flare symptoms are perceived by the patient Gout flares will resolve faster if treatment is initiated right away Because of this the patient and provider should discuss abortive therapies at the initial appointment and the patient should receive counseling on which therapies are appropriate to take immediately upon initiation of a flare Anti-inflammatory medications are the mainstay for treatment of an acute flare but may not be appropriate for all patients due to their renal and cardiovascular side effects Since time is of the essence when treating a gout flare over the counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications may be the medication of choice due to easy access Prescriptions for other medications should be filled as soon as received and kept on hand so therapy can be initiate as quickly as possible Colchicine glucocorticoids and interleukin inhibitors are other medications which may be appropriate to treat an acute gout flare
37
P A R A D I S E V I L L A G E N E W S
Once the initial flare has subsided and the diagnosis of gout has been made prevention strategies should be initiated These strategies include lifestyle modification management of comorbid disease states initiation of urate lowering therapies and prophylactic therapy Since weight loss and a healthy diet has been shown to decrease the risk for gout patients should be encouraged to choose a diet moderate in meat consumption and low in processed or fatty foods and alcohol If a medication is deemed to be the reason for gout every effort to choose an alternative medication should be made Urate lowering medications should be initiated to reduce recurrent attacks and bony formations as well as dissolve any tophi which may have formed Counsel the patient so that he or she understands that treatment for recurrent gout is continuous and lifelong Treatment options may include uricosuric agents which enhance uric acid excretion xanthine oxidase inhibitors which decrease urate formation and uricase enzymes which catalyze the conversion to allantoin a more soluble purine product The goal of therapy is to obtain and maintain a serum urate level of lt6 mgdL by slowly reducing the circulating urate by 1-2 mgdL per month If the patient fails to meet these goals check for adherence to the treatment and life style changes reevaluate the diagnosis or consider an alternative therapy
The keys to successful treatment of gout are proper hydration therapeutic life style changes adherence to treatment and the use of NSAIDS (colchicine or glucocorticoids) for quick resolution of an acute attack Treatment is lifelong but maintaining urate levels lt6 mgdL will result in tophi resolution over time and a reduction in acute attacks of gout As a result of following the treatment and lifestyle changes indicated above the patient may experience less frequent gout flares or may become free of flares all together leading to an improved quality of life

Sarah was in the fertilized egg business She had several hundred young pullets and ten roosters to
fertilize the eggs She kept records and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was
replaced
This took a lot of time so she bought some tiny bells and attached them to her roosters Each bell
had a different tone so she could tell from a distance which rooster was performing Now she could
sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells
Sarahs favorite rooster old Butch was a very fine specimen but this morning she noticed old
Butchs bell hadnt rung at all When she went to investigate she saw the other roosters were busy
chasing pullets bells-a-ringing but the pullets hearing the roosters coming would run for cover
To Sarahs amazement old Butch had his bell in his beak so it couldnt ring Hed sneak up on a pul-
let do his job and walk on to the next one
Sarah was so proud of old Butch she entered him in a Show and he became an over-
night sensation among the judges
The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the No Bell Peace Prize they
also awarded him the Pulletsurprise as well
Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making Who else but a politician could figure
out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at
sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they werent paying
attention
We hope you voted carefully in the last election You cant always hear the bells

ldquoREDBLACKS represents Ottawas sports history and pays tribute to the Ottawa men and women who serve our country From the original Rough Riders in the 1890s to the modern Ottawa Senators Hockey Club red and black are the colours of Ottawa sport
The Edmonton Eskimos are named for the Eskimo or Inuit of northern Canada While not located in the far north land of the Inuit the nickname Eskimos was likely adopted for the alliterative effect and as a reference to Edmontons northern location The original name was Esquimaux from 1897 to 1910 from the archaic French spelling Edmonton has faced some pressure in the past couple decades to change their team name most recently in 2011 and 2014 Edmonton has a long history of teams with the Eskimo name in hockey baseball and other sports

Gout
Gout a rheumatic disease which results from the deposition of uric acid crystals in tissues and fluids manifests as sudden severe attacks of pain The typical presentation of gout is tenderness and pain in the big toe but the patient may experience an atypical presentation where any joint can be affected Gout occurs as a result of urate production (either normal or excessive) and the kidneys lack of ability to process the urate and eliminate it from the body fast enough What the body cannot excrete it will store In the case of excess urate the body will attempt to store it in the joint spaces This will result in recurrent attacks of inflammation chronic arthropathy topaceous deposits and potentially uric acid nephrolithiasis
The cause of gout can be due to high uric acid levels (primary) or due to the result of another disease state medication or various other reasons such as dietary indiscretion (secondary) The majority of patients who experience gout will match the typical profile older obese male frequent alcohol intake hypertensive hyperlipidemic Patients who do not meet this profile may be misdiagnosed therefore be on the lookout for patients who may experience gouty arthritis related to medications or poor lifestyle choices Predisposing factors may include high consumption of meat seafood fatty or processed foods or alcohol Trauma surgery dehydration and some medications (diuretics aspirin) may also precipitate a gout attack
There are three clinical syndromes associated with gouty arthritis acute gouty arthritis intercritical gout (or interval gout) and chronic recurrent and tophaceous gout Acute gouty arthritis is characterized by severe pain redness and swelling which reach the maximum in 24 hours and dissipate after that usually completely resolving in a few days or a week As mentioned before the big toe is the typical site of involvement but any joint can be involved Lab tests performed during this period may be nonspecific for gout and uric acid levels maybe either high or low during an attack making the diagnosis difficult Aspiration of the joint space may produce urate crystals Once the acute period has subsided the patient is said to have entered the intercritical period which is the symptom free period between flares This is the time to draw uric acid levels and determine if the patient is an over producer or undereliminator of uric acid and to aspirate previously effected joints in the search for urate crystals Once the diagnosis of gouty arthritis has been made it is time to manage comorbid conditions eliminate the cause of hyperuricemia and initiate urate lowering medications Tophaceous deposits are the result of longer term untreated or undertreated gout high levels of serum urate diuretic use or treatment with cyclosporine Larger deposits of uric acid may be apparent by visual or tactile inspection or may be determined by radiography or MRI
Treatment for acute gout should be initiated as soon as gout flare symptoms are perceived by the patient Gout flares will resolve faster if treatment is initiated right away Because of this the patient and provider should discuss abortive therapies at the initial appointment and the patient should receive counseling on which therapies are appropriate to take immediately upon initiation of a flare Anti-inflammatory medications are the mainstay for treatment of an acute flare but may not be appropriate for all patients due to their renal and cardiovascular side effects Since time is of the essence when treating a gout flare over the counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications may be the medication of choice due to easy access Prescriptions for other medications should be filled as soon as received and kept on hand so therapy can be initiate as quickly as possible Colchicine glucocorticoids and interleukin inhibitors are other medications which may be appropriate to treat an acute gout flare
37
P A R A D I S E V I L L A G E N E W S
Once the initial flare has subsided and the diagnosis of gout has been made prevention strategies should be initiated These strategies include lifestyle modification management of comorbid disease states initiation of urate lowering therapies and prophylactic therapy Since weight loss and a healthy diet has been shown to decrease the risk for gout patients should be encouraged to choose a diet moderate in meat consumption and low in processed or fatty foods and alcohol If a medication is deemed to be the reason for gout every effort to choose an alternative medication should be made Urate lowering medications should be initiated to reduce recurrent attacks and bony formations as well as dissolve any tophi which may have formed Counsel the patient so that he or she understands that treatment for recurrent gout is continuous and lifelong Treatment options may include uricosuric agents which enhance uric acid excretion xanthine oxidase inhibitors which decrease urate formation and uricase enzymes which catalyze the conversion to allantoin a more soluble purine product The goal of therapy is to obtain and maintain a serum urate level of lt6 mgdL by slowly reducing the circulating urate by 1-2 mgdL per month If the patient fails to meet these goals check for adherence to the treatment and life style changes reevaluate the diagnosis or consider an alternative therapy
The keys to successful treatment of gout are proper hydration therapeutic life style changes adherence to treatment and the use of NSAIDS (colchicine or glucocorticoids) for quick resolution of an acute attack Treatment is lifelong but maintaining urate levels lt6 mgdL will result in tophi resolution over time and a reduction in acute attacks of gout As a result of following the treatment and lifestyle changes indicated above the patient may experience less frequent gout flares or may become free of flares all together leading to an improved quality of life

Sarah was in the fertilized egg business She had several hundred young pullets and ten roosters to
fertilize the eggs She kept records and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was
replaced
This took a lot of time so she bought some tiny bells and attached them to her roosters Each bell
had a different tone so she could tell from a distance which rooster was performing Now she could
sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells
Sarahs favorite rooster old Butch was a very fine specimen but this morning she noticed old
Butchs bell hadnt rung at all When she went to investigate she saw the other roosters were busy
chasing pullets bells-a-ringing but the pullets hearing the roosters coming would run for cover
To Sarahs amazement old Butch had his bell in his beak so it couldnt ring Hed sneak up on a pul-
let do his job and walk on to the next one
Sarah was so proud of old Butch she entered him in a Show and he became an over-
night sensation among the judges
The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the No Bell Peace Prize they
also awarded him the Pulletsurprise as well
Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making Who else but a politician could figure
out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at
sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they werent paying
attention
We hope you voted carefully in the last election You cant always hear the bells

ldquoREDBLACKS represents Ottawas sports history and pays tribute to the Ottawa men and women who serve our country From the original Rough Riders in the 1890s to the modern Ottawa Senators Hockey Club red and black are the colours of Ottawa sport
The Edmonton Eskimos are named for the Eskimo or Inuit of northern Canada While not located in the far north land of the Inuit the nickname Eskimos was likely adopted for the alliterative effect and as a reference to Edmontons northern location The original name was Esquimaux from 1897 to 1910 from the archaic French spelling Edmonton has faced some pressure in the past couple decades to change their team name most recently in 2011 and 2014 Edmonton has a long history of teams with the Eskimo name in hockey baseball and other sports

Gout
Gout a rheumatic disease which results from the deposition of uric acid crystals in tissues and fluids manifests as sudden severe attacks of pain The typical presentation of gout is tenderness and pain in the big toe but the patient may experience an atypical presentation where any joint can be affected Gout occurs as a result of urate production (either normal or excessive) and the kidneys lack of ability to process the urate and eliminate it from the body fast enough What the body cannot excrete it will store In the case of excess urate the body will attempt to store it in the joint spaces This will result in recurrent attacks of inflammation chronic arthropathy topaceous deposits and potentially uric acid nephrolithiasis
The cause of gout can be due to high uric acid levels (primary) or due to the result of another disease state medication or various other reasons such as dietary indiscretion (secondary) The majority of patients who experience gout will match the typical profile older obese male frequent alcohol intake hypertensive hyperlipidemic Patients who do not meet this profile may be misdiagnosed therefore be on the lookout for patients who may experience gouty arthritis related to medications or poor lifestyle choices Predisposing factors may include high consumption of meat seafood fatty or processed foods or alcohol Trauma surgery dehydration and some medications (diuretics aspirin) may also precipitate a gout attack
There are three clinical syndromes associated with gouty arthritis acute gouty arthritis intercritical gout (or interval gout) and chronic recurrent and tophaceous gout Acute gouty arthritis is characterized by severe pain redness and swelling which reach the maximum in 24 hours and dissipate after that usually completely resolving in a few days or a week As mentioned before the big toe is the typical site of involvement but any joint can be involved Lab tests performed during this period may be nonspecific for gout and uric acid levels maybe either high or low during an attack making the diagnosis difficult Aspiration of the joint space may produce urate crystals Once the acute period has subsided the patient is said to have entered the intercritical period which is the symptom free period between flares This is the time to draw uric acid levels and determine if the patient is an over producer or undereliminator of uric acid and to aspirate previously effected joints in the search for urate crystals Once the diagnosis of gouty arthritis has been made it is time to manage comorbid conditions eliminate the cause of hyperuricemia and initiate urate lowering medications Tophaceous deposits are the result of longer term untreated or undertreated gout high levels of serum urate diuretic use or treatment with cyclosporine Larger deposits of uric acid may be apparent by visual or tactile inspection or may be determined by radiography or MRI
Treatment for acute gout should be initiated as soon as gout flare symptoms are perceived by the patient Gout flares will resolve faster if treatment is initiated right away Because of this the patient and provider should discuss abortive therapies at the initial appointment and the patient should receive counseling on which therapies are appropriate to take immediately upon initiation of a flare Anti-inflammatory medications are the mainstay for treatment of an acute flare but may not be appropriate for all patients due to their renal and cardiovascular side effects Since time is of the essence when treating a gout flare over the counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications may be the medication of choice due to easy access Prescriptions for other medications should be filled as soon as received and kept on hand so therapy can be initiate as quickly as possible Colchicine glucocorticoids and interleukin inhibitors are other medications which may be appropriate to treat an acute gout flare
37
P A R A D I S E V I L L A G E N E W S
Once the initial flare has subsided and the diagnosis of gout has been made prevention strategies should be initiated These strategies include lifestyle modification management of comorbid disease states initiation of urate lowering therapies and prophylactic therapy Since weight loss and a healthy diet has been shown to decrease the risk for gout patients should be encouraged to choose a diet moderate in meat consumption and low in processed or fatty foods and alcohol If a medication is deemed to be the reason for gout every effort to choose an alternative medication should be made Urate lowering medications should be initiated to reduce recurrent attacks and bony formations as well as dissolve any tophi which may have formed Counsel the patient so that he or she understands that treatment for recurrent gout is continuous and lifelong Treatment options may include uricosuric agents which enhance uric acid excretion xanthine oxidase inhibitors which decrease urate formation and uricase enzymes which catalyze the conversion to allantoin a more soluble purine product The goal of therapy is to obtain and maintain a serum urate level of lt6 mgdL by slowly reducing the circulating urate by 1-2 mgdL per month If the patient fails to meet these goals check for adherence to the treatment and life style changes reevaluate the diagnosis or consider an alternative therapy
The keys to successful treatment of gout are proper hydration therapeutic life style changes adherence to treatment and the use of NSAIDS (colchicine or glucocorticoids) for quick resolution of an acute attack Treatment is lifelong but maintaining urate levels lt6 mgdL will result in tophi resolution over time and a reduction in acute attacks of gout As a result of following the treatment and lifestyle changes indicated above the patient may experience less frequent gout flares or may become free of flares all together leading to an improved quality of life

The Edmonton Eskimos are named for the Eskimo or Inuit of northern Canada While not located in the far north land of the Inuit the nickname Eskimos was likely adopted for the alliterative effect and as a reference to Edmontons northern location The original name was Esquimaux from 1897 to 1910 from the archaic French spelling Edmonton has faced some pressure in the past couple decades to change their team name most recently in 2011 and 2014 Edmonton has a long history of teams with the Eskimo name in hockey baseball and other sports

Gout
Gout a rheumatic disease which results from the deposition of uric acid crystals in tissues and fluids manifests as sudden severe attacks of pain The typical presentation of gout is tenderness and pain in the big toe but the patient may experience an atypical presentation where any joint can be affected Gout occurs as a result of urate production (either normal or excessive) and the kidneys lack of ability to process the urate and eliminate it from the body fast enough What the body cannot excrete it will store In the case of excess urate the body will attempt to store it in the joint spaces This will result in recurrent attacks of inflammation chronic arthropathy topaceous deposits and potentially uric acid nephrolithiasis
The cause of gout can be due to high uric acid levels (primary) or due to the result of another disease state medication or various other reasons such as dietary indiscretion (secondary) The majority of patients who experience gout will match the typical profile older obese male frequent alcohol intake hypertensive hyperlipidemic Patients who do not meet this profile may be misdiagnosed therefore be on the lookout for patients who may experience gouty arthritis related to medications or poor lifestyle choices Predisposing factors may include high consumption of meat seafood fatty or processed foods or alcohol Trauma surgery dehydration and some medications (diuretics aspirin) may also precipitate a gout attack
There are three clinical syndromes associated with gouty arthritis acute gouty arthritis intercritical gout (or interval gout) and chronic recurrent and tophaceous gout Acute gouty arthritis is characterized by severe pain redness and swelling which reach the maximum in 24 hours and dissipate after that usually completely resolving in a few days or a week As mentioned before the big toe is the typical site of involvement but any joint can be involved Lab tests performed during this period may be nonspecific for gout and uric acid levels maybe either high or low during an attack making the diagnosis difficult Aspiration of the joint space may produce urate crystals Once the acute period has subsided the patient is said to have entered the intercritical period which is the symptom free period between flares This is the time to draw uric acid levels and determine if the patient is an over producer or undereliminator of uric acid and to aspirate previously effected joints in the search for urate crystals Once the diagnosis of gouty arthritis has been made it is time to manage comorbid conditions eliminate the cause of hyperuricemia and initiate urate lowering medications Tophaceous deposits are the result of longer term untreated or undertreated gout high levels of serum urate diuretic use or treatment with cyclosporine Larger deposits of uric acid may be apparent by visual or tactile inspection or may be determined by radiography or MRI
Treatment for acute gout should be initiated as soon as gout flare symptoms are perceived by the patient Gout flares will resolve faster if treatment is initiated right away Because of this the patient and provider should discuss abortive therapies at the initial appointment and the patient should receive counseling on which therapies are appropriate to take immediately upon initiation of a flare Anti-inflammatory medications are the mainstay for treatment of an acute flare but may not be appropriate for all patients due to their renal and cardiovascular side effects Since time is of the essence when treating a gout flare over the counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications may be the medication of choice due to easy access Prescriptions for other medications should be filled as soon as received and kept on hand so therapy can be initiate as quickly as possible Colchicine glucocorticoids and interleukin inhibitors are other medications which may be appropriate to treat an acute gout flare
37
P A R A D I S E V I L L A G E N E W S
Once the initial flare has subsided and the diagnosis of gout has been made prevention strategies should be initiated These strategies include lifestyle modification management of comorbid disease states initiation of urate lowering therapies and prophylactic therapy Since weight loss and a healthy diet has been shown to decrease the risk for gout patients should be encouraged to choose a diet moderate in meat consumption and low in processed or fatty foods and alcohol If a medication is deemed to be the reason for gout every effort to choose an alternative medication should be made Urate lowering medications should be initiated to reduce recurrent attacks and bony formations as well as dissolve any tophi which may have formed Counsel the patient so that he or she understands that treatment for recurrent gout is continuous and lifelong Treatment options may include uricosuric agents which enhance uric acid excretion xanthine oxidase inhibitors which decrease urate formation and uricase enzymes which catalyze the conversion to allantoin a more soluble purine product The goal of therapy is to obtain and maintain a serum urate level of lt6 mgdL by slowly reducing the circulating urate by 1-2 mgdL per month If the patient fails to meet these goals check for adherence to the treatment and life style changes reevaluate the diagnosis or consider an alternative therapy
The keys to successful treatment of gout are proper hydration therapeutic life style changes adherence to treatment and the use of NSAIDS (colchicine or glucocorticoids) for quick resolution of an acute attack Treatment is lifelong but maintaining urate levels lt6 mgdL will result in tophi resolution over time and a reduction in acute attacks of gout As a result of following the treatment and lifestyle changes indicated above the patient may experience less frequent gout flares or may become free of flares all together leading to an improved quality of life

Gout
Gout a rheumatic disease which results from the deposition of uric acid crystals in tissues and fluids manifests as sudden severe attacks of pain The typical presentation of gout is tenderness and pain in the big toe but the patient may experience an atypical presentation where any joint can be affected Gout occurs as a result of urate production (either normal or excessive) and the kidneys lack of ability to process the urate and eliminate it from the body fast enough What the body cannot excrete it will store In the case of excess urate the body will attempt to store it in the joint spaces This will result in recurrent attacks of inflammation chronic arthropathy topaceous deposits and potentially uric acid nephrolithiasis
The cause of gout can be due to high uric acid levels (primary) or due to the result of another disease state medication or various other reasons such as dietary indiscretion (secondary) The majority of patients who experience gout will match the typical profile older obese male frequent alcohol intake hypertensive hyperlipidemic Patients who do not meet this profile may be misdiagnosed therefore be on the lookout for patients who may experience gouty arthritis related to medications or poor lifestyle choices Predisposing factors may include high consumption of meat seafood fatty or processed foods or alcohol Trauma surgery dehydration and some medications (diuretics aspirin) may also precipitate a gout attack
There are three clinical syndromes associated with gouty arthritis acute gouty arthritis intercritical gout (or interval gout) and chronic recurrent and tophaceous gout Acute gouty arthritis is characterized by severe pain redness and swelling which reach the maximum in 24 hours and dissipate after that usually completely resolving in a few days or a week As mentioned before the big toe is the typical site of involvement but any joint can be involved Lab tests performed during this period may be nonspecific for gout and uric acid levels maybe either high or low during an attack making the diagnosis difficult Aspiration of the joint space may produce urate crystals Once the acute period has subsided the patient is said to have entered the intercritical period which is the symptom free period between flares This is the time to draw uric acid levels and determine if the patient is an over producer or undereliminator of uric acid and to aspirate previously effected joints in the search for urate crystals Once the diagnosis of gouty arthritis has been made it is time to manage comorbid conditions eliminate the cause of hyperuricemia and initiate urate lowering medications Tophaceous deposits are the result of longer term untreated or undertreated gout high levels of serum urate diuretic use or treatment with cyclosporine Larger deposits of uric acid may be apparent by visual or tactile inspection or may be determined by radiography or MRI
Treatment for acute gout should be initiated as soon as gout flare symptoms are perceived by the patient Gout flares will resolve faster if treatment is initiated right away Because of this the patient and provider should discuss abortive therapies at the initial appointment and the patient should receive counseling on which therapies are appropriate to take immediately upon initiation of a flare Anti-inflammatory medications are the mainstay for treatment of an acute flare but may not be appropriate for all patients due to their renal and cardiovascular side effects Since time is of the essence when treating a gout flare over the counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications may be the medication of choice due to easy access Prescriptions for other medications should be filled as soon as received and kept on hand so therapy can be initiate as quickly as possible Colchicine glucocorticoids and interleukin inhibitors are other medications which may be appropriate to treat an acute gout flare
37
P A R A D I S E V I L L A G E N E W S
Once the initial flare has subsided and the diagnosis of gout has been made prevention strategies should be initiated These strategies include lifestyle modification management of comorbid disease states initiation of urate lowering therapies and prophylactic therapy Since weight loss and a healthy diet has been shown to decrease the risk for gout patients should be encouraged to choose a diet moderate in meat consumption and low in processed or fatty foods and alcohol If a medication is deemed to be the reason for gout every effort to choose an alternative medication should be made Urate lowering medications should be initiated to reduce recurrent attacks and bony formations as well as dissolve any tophi which may have formed Counsel the patient so that he or she understands that treatment for recurrent gout is continuous and lifelong Treatment options may include uricosuric agents which enhance uric acid excretion xanthine oxidase inhibitors which decrease urate formation and uricase enzymes which catalyze the conversion to allantoin a more soluble purine product The goal of therapy is to obtain and maintain a serum urate level of lt6 mgdL by slowly reducing the circulating urate by 1-2 mgdL per month If the patient fails to meet these goals check for adherence to the treatment and life style changes reevaluate the diagnosis or consider an alternative therapy
The keys to successful treatment of gout are proper hydration therapeutic life style changes adherence to treatment and the use of NSAIDS (colchicine or glucocorticoids) for quick resolution of an acute attack Treatment is lifelong but maintaining urate levels lt6 mgdL will result in tophi resolution over time and a reduction in acute attacks of gout As a result of following the treatment and lifestyle changes indicated above the patient may experience less frequent gout flares or may become free of flares all together leading to an improved quality of life

An 80 year-old man
told his doctor
he wanted some
Viagra
The doctor said
ldquoNo way Yoursquore
too oldrdquo
He said ldquoLook
Doc my mistress is coming over Friday
night my ex is coming over Saturday
night and Sunday night I am having a
new lady friend come over toordquo
The doctor said ldquoOkay but I want
you in my office first thing Monday
morningrdquo
Well when the man arrived at the
doctorrsquos office Monday morning he
was a real mess with his arm in a sling
The doctor asked ldquoWhat the hell
happened to yourdquo
The man said ldquoNone of them showed
uprdquo

Gout
Gout a rheumatic disease which results from the deposition of uric acid crystals in tissues and fluids manifests as sudden severe attacks of pain The typical presentation of gout is tenderness and pain in the big toe but the patient may experience an atypical presentation where any joint can be affected Gout occurs as a result of urate production (either normal or excessive) and the kidneys lack of ability to process the urate and eliminate it from the body fast enough What the body cannot excrete it will store In the case of excess urate the body will attempt to store it in the joint spaces This will result in recurrent attacks of inflammation chronic arthropathy topaceous deposits and potentially uric acid nephrolithiasis
The cause of gout can be due to high uric acid levels (primary) or due to the result of another disease state medication or various other reasons such as dietary indiscretion (secondary) The majority of patients who experience gout will match the typical profile older obese male frequent alcohol intake hypertensive hyperlipidemic Patients who do not meet this profile may be misdiagnosed therefore be on the lookout for patients who may experience gouty arthritis related to medications or poor lifestyle choices Predisposing factors may include high consumption of meat seafood fatty or processed foods or alcohol Trauma surgery dehydration and some medications (diuretics aspirin) may also precipitate a gout attack
There are three clinical syndromes associated with gouty arthritis acute gouty arthritis intercritical gout (or interval gout) and chronic recurrent and tophaceous gout Acute gouty arthritis is characterized by severe pain redness and swelling which reach the maximum in 24 hours and dissipate after that usually completely resolving in a few days or a week As mentioned before the big toe is the typical site of involvement but any joint can be involved Lab tests performed during this period may be nonspecific for gout and uric acid levels maybe either high or low during an attack making the diagnosis difficult Aspiration of the joint space may produce urate crystals Once the acute period has subsided the patient is said to have entered the intercritical period which is the symptom free period between flares This is the time to draw uric acid levels and determine if the patient is an over producer or undereliminator of uric acid and to aspirate previously effected joints in the search for urate crystals Once the diagnosis of gouty arthritis has been made it is time to manage comorbid conditions eliminate the cause of hyperuricemia and initiate urate lowering medications Tophaceous deposits are the result of longer term untreated or undertreated gout high levels of serum urate diuretic use or treatment with cyclosporine Larger deposits of uric acid may be apparent by visual or tactile inspection or may be determined by radiography or MRI
Treatment for acute gout should be initiated as soon as gout flare symptoms are perceived by the patient Gout flares will resolve faster if treatment is initiated right away Because of this the patient and provider should discuss abortive therapies at the initial appointment and the patient should receive counseling on which therapies are appropriate to take immediately upon initiation of a flare Anti-inflammatory medications are the mainstay for treatment of an acute flare but may not be appropriate for all patients due to their renal and cardiovascular side effects Since time is of the essence when treating a gout flare over the counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications may be the medication of choice due to easy access Prescriptions for other medications should be filled as soon as received and kept on hand so therapy can be initiate as quickly as possible Colchicine glucocorticoids and interleukin inhibitors are other medications which may be appropriate to treat an acute gout flare

Once the initial flare has subsided and the diagnosis of gout has been made prevention strategies should be initiated These strategies include lifestyle modification management of comorbid disease states initiation of urate lowering therapies and prophylactic therapy Since weight loss and a healthy diet has been shown to decrease the risk for gout patients should be encouraged to choose a diet moderate in meat consumption and low in processed or fatty foods and alcohol If a medication is deemed to be the reason for gout every effort to choose an alternative medication should be made Urate lowering medications should be initiated to reduce recurrent attacks and bony formations as well as dissolve any tophi which may have formed Counsel the patient so that he or she understands that treatment for recurrent gout is continuous and lifelong Treatment options may include uricosuric agents which enhance uric acid excretion xanthine oxidase inhibitors which decrease urate formation and uricase enzymes which catalyze the conversion to allantoin a more soluble purine product The goal of therapy is to obtain and maintain a serum urate level of lt6 mgdL by slowly reducing the circulating urate by 1-2 mgdL per month If the patient fails to meet these goals check for adherence to the treatment and life style changes reevaluate the diagnosis or consider an alternative therapy
The keys to successful treatment of gout are proper hydration therapeutic life style changes adherence to treatment and the use of NSAIDS (colchicine or glucocorticoids) for quick resolution of an acute attack Treatment is lifelong but maintaining urate levels lt6 mgdL will result in tophi resolution over time and a reduction in acute attacks of gout As a result of following the treatment and lifestyle changes indicated above the patient may experience less frequent gout flares or may become free of flares all together leading to an improved quality of life

Gout
Gout a rheumatic disease which results from the deposition of uric acid crystals in tissues and fluids manifests as sudden severe attacks of pain The typical presentation of gout is tenderness and pain in the big toe but the patient may experience an atypical presentation where any joint can be affected Gout occurs as a result of urate production (either normal or excessive) and the kidneys lack of ability to process the urate and eliminate it from the body fast enough What the body cannot excrete it will store In the case of excess urate the body will attempt to store it in the joint spaces This will result in recurrent attacks of inflammation chronic arthropathy topaceous deposits and potentially uric acid nephrolithiasis
The cause of gout can be due to high uric acid levels (primary) or due to the result of another disease state medication or various other reasons such as dietary indiscretion (secondary) The majority of patients who experience gout will match the typical profile older obese male frequent alcohol intake hypertensive hyperlipidemic Patients who do not meet this profile may be misdiagnosed therefore be on the lookout for patients who may experience gouty arthritis related to medications or poor lifestyle choices Predisposing factors may include high consumption of meat seafood fatty or processed foods or alcohol Trauma surgery dehydration and some medications (diuretics aspirin) may also precipitate a gout attack
There are three clinical syndromes associated with gouty arthritis acute gouty arthritis intercritical gout (or interval gout) and chronic recurrent and tophaceous gout Acute gouty arthritis is characterized by severe pain redness and swelling which reach the maximum in 24 hours and dissipate after that usually completely resolving in a few days or a week As mentioned before the big toe is the typical site of involvement but any joint can be involved Lab tests performed during this period may be nonspecific for gout and uric acid levels maybe either high or low during an attack making the diagnosis difficult Aspiration of the joint space may produce urate crystals Once the acute period has subsided the patient is said to have entered the intercritical period which is the symptom free period between flares This is the time to draw uric acid levels and determine if the patient is an over producer or undereliminator of uric acid and to aspirate previously effected joints in the search for urate crystals Once the diagnosis of gouty arthritis has been made it is time to manage comorbid conditions eliminate the cause of hyperuricemia and initiate urate lowering medications Tophaceous deposits are the result of longer term untreated or undertreated gout high levels of serum urate diuretic use or treatment with cyclosporine Larger deposits of uric acid may be apparent by visual or tactile inspection or may be determined by radiography or MRI
Treatment for acute gout should be initiated as soon as gout flare symptoms are perceived by the patient Gout flares will resolve faster if treatment is initiated right away Because of this the patient and provider should discuss abortive therapies at the initial appointment and the patient should receive counseling on which therapies are appropriate to take immediately upon initiation of a flare Anti-inflammatory medications are the mainstay for treatment of an acute flare but may not be appropriate for all patients due to their renal and cardiovascular side effects Since time is of the essence when treating a gout flare over the counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications may be the medication of choice due to easy access Prescriptions for other medications should be filled as soon as received and kept on hand so therapy can be initiate as quickly as possible Colchicine glucocorticoids and interleukin inhibitors are other medications which may be appropriate to treat an acute gout flare

P A R A D I S E V I L L A G E N E W S
Once the initial flare has subsided and the diagnosis of gout has been made prevention strategies should be initiated These strategies include lifestyle modification management of comorbid disease states initiation of urate lowering therapies and prophylactic therapy Since weight loss and a healthy diet has been shown to decrease the risk for gout patients should be encouraged to choose a diet moderate in meat consumption and low in processed or fatty foods and alcohol If a medication is deemed to be the reason for gout every effort to choose an alternative medication should be made Urate lowering medications should be initiated to reduce recurrent attacks and bony formations as well as dissolve any tophi which may have formed Counsel the patient so that he or she understands that treatment for recurrent gout is continuous and lifelong Treatment options may include uricosuric agents which enhance uric acid excretion xanthine oxidase inhibitors which decrease urate formation and uricase enzymes which catalyze the conversion to allantoin a more soluble purine product The goal of therapy is to obtain and maintain a serum urate level of lt6 mgdL by slowly reducing the circulating urate by 1-2 mgdL per month If the patient fails to meet these goals check for adherence to the treatment and life style changes reevaluate the diagnosis or consider an alternative therapy
The keys to successful treatment of gout are proper hydration therapeutic life style changes adherence to treatment and the use of NSAIDS (colchicine or glucocorticoids) for quick resolution of an acute attack Treatment is lifelong but maintaining urate levels lt6 mgdL will result in tophi resolution over time and a reduction in acute attacks of gout As a result of following the treatment and lifestyle changes indicated above the patient may experience less frequent gout flares or may become free of flares all together leading to an improved quality of life

Gout
Gout a rheumatic disease which results from the deposition of uric acid crystals in tissues and fluids manifests as sudden severe attacks of pain The typical presentation of gout is tenderness and pain in the big toe but the patient may experience an atypical presentation where any joint can be affected Gout occurs as a result of urate production (either normal or excessive) and the kidneys lack of ability to process the urate and eliminate it from the body fast enough What the body cannot excrete it will store In the case of excess urate the body will attempt to store it in the joint spaces This will result in recurrent attacks of inflammation chronic arthropathy topaceous deposits and potentially uric acid nephrolithiasis
The cause of gout can be due to high uric acid levels (primary) or due to the result of another disease state medication or various other reasons such as dietary indiscretion (secondary) The majority of patients who experience gout will match the typical profile older obese male frequent alcohol intake hypertensive hyperlipidemic Patients who do not meet this profile may be misdiagnosed therefore be on the lookout for patients who may experience gouty arthritis related to medications or poor lifestyle choices Predisposing factors may include high consumption of meat seafood fatty or processed foods or alcohol Trauma surgery dehydration and some medications (diuretics aspirin) may also precipitate a gout attack
There are three clinical syndromes associated with gouty arthritis acute gouty arthritis intercritical gout (or interval gout) and chronic recurrent and tophaceous gout Acute gouty arthritis is characterized by severe pain redness and swelling which reach the maximum in 24 hours and dissipate after that usually completely resolving in a few days or a week As mentioned before the big toe is the typical site of involvement but any joint can be involved Lab tests performed during this period may be nonspecific for gout and uric acid levels maybe either high or low during an attack making the diagnosis difficult Aspiration of the joint space may produce urate crystals Once the acute period has subsided the patient is said to have entered the intercritical period which is the symptom free period between flares This is the time to draw uric acid levels and determine if the patient is an over producer or undereliminator of uric acid and to aspirate previously effected joints in the search for urate crystals Once the diagnosis of gouty arthritis has been made it is time to manage comorbid conditions eliminate the cause of hyperuricemia and initiate urate lowering medications Tophaceous deposits are the result of longer term untreated or undertreated gout high levels of serum urate diuretic use or treatment with cyclosporine Larger deposits of uric acid may be apparent by visual or tactile inspection or may be determined by radiography or MRI
Treatment for acute gout should be initiated as soon as gout flare symptoms are perceived by the patient Gout flares will resolve faster if treatment is initiated right away Because of this the patient and provider should discuss abortive therapies at the initial appointment and the patient should receive counseling on which therapies are appropriate to take immediately upon initiation of a flare Anti-inflammatory medications are the mainstay for treatment of an acute flare but may not be appropriate for all patients due to their renal and cardiovascular side effects Since time is of the essence when treating a gout flare over the counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications may be the medication of choice due to easy access Prescriptions for other medications should be filled as soon as received and kept on hand so therapy can be initiate as quickly as possible Colchicine glucocorticoids and interleukin inhibitors are other medications which may be appropriate to treat an acute gout flare

P A R A D I S E V I L L A G E N E W S
Once the initial flare has subsided and the diagnosis of gout has been made prevention strategies should be initiated These strategies include lifestyle modification management of comorbid disease states initiation of urate lowering therapies and prophylactic therapy Since weight loss and a healthy diet has been shown to decrease the risk for gout patients should be encouraged to choose a diet moderate in meat consumption and low in processed or fatty foods and alcohol If a medication is deemed to be the reason for gout every effort to choose an alternative medication should be made Urate lowering medications should be initiated to reduce recurrent attacks and bony formations as well as dissolve any tophi which may have formed Counsel the patient so that he or she understands that treatment for recurrent gout is continuous and lifelong Treatment options may include uricosuric agents which enhance uric acid excretion xanthine oxidase inhibitors which decrease urate formation and uricase enzymes which catalyze the conversion to allantoin a more soluble purine product The goal of therapy is to obtain and maintain a serum urate level of lt6 mgdL by slowly reducing the circulating urate by 1-2 mgdL per month If the patient fails to meet these goals check for adherence to the treatment and life style changes reevaluate the diagnosis or consider an alternative therapy
The keys to successful treatment of gout are proper hydration therapeutic life style changes adherence to treatment and the use of NSAIDS (colchicine or glucocorticoids) for quick resolution of an acute attack Treatment is lifelong but maintaining urate levels lt6 mgdL will result in tophi resolution over time and a reduction in acute attacks of gout As a result of following the treatment and lifestyle changes indicated above the patient may experience less frequent gout flares or may become free of flares all together leading to an improved quality of life

There are three clinical syndromes associated with gouty arthritis acute gouty arthritis intercritical gout (or interval gout) and chronic recurrent and tophaceous gout Acute gouty arthritis is characterized by severe pain redness and swelling which reach the maximum in 24 hours and dissipate after that usually completely resolving in a few days or a week As mentioned before the big toe is the typical site of involvement but any joint can be involved Lab tests performed during this period may be nonspecific for gout and uric acid levels maybe either high or low during an attack making the diagnosis difficult Aspiration of the joint space may produce urate crystals Once the acute period has subsided the patient is said to have entered the intercritical period which is the symptom free period between flares This is the time to draw uric acid levels and determine if the patient is an over producer or undereliminator of uric acid and to aspirate previously effected joints in the search for urate crystals Once the diagnosis of gouty arthritis has been made it is time to manage comorbid conditions eliminate the cause of hyperuricemia and initiate urate lowering medications Tophaceous deposits are the result of longer term untreated or undertreated gout high levels of serum urate diuretic use or treatment with cyclosporine Larger deposits of uric acid may be apparent by visual or tactile inspection or may be determined by radiography or MRI
Treatment for acute gout should be initiated as soon as gout flare symptoms are perceived by the patient Gout flares will resolve faster if treatment is initiated right away Because of this the patient and provider should discuss abortive therapies at the initial appointment and the patient should receive counseling on which therapies are appropriate to take immediately upon initiation of a flare Anti-inflammatory medications are the mainstay for treatment of an acute flare but may not be appropriate for all patients due to their renal and cardiovascular side effects Since time is of the essence when treating a gout flare over the counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications may be the medication of choice due to easy access Prescriptions for other medications should be filled as soon as received and kept on hand so therapy can be initiate as quickly as possible Colchicine glucocorticoids and interleukin inhibitors are other medications which may be appropriate to treat an acute gout flare

Once the initial flare has subsided and the diagnosis of gout has been made prevention strategies should be initiated These strategies include lifestyle modification management of comorbid disease states initiation of urate lowering therapies and prophylactic therapy Since weight loss and a healthy diet has been shown to decrease the risk for gout patients should be encouraged to choose a diet moderate in meat consumption and low in processed or fatty foods and alcohol If a medication is deemed to be the reason for gout every effort to choose an alternative medication should be made Urate lowering medications should be initiated to reduce recurrent attacks and bony formations as well as dissolve any tophi which may have formed Counsel the patient so that he or she understands that treatment for recurrent gout is continuous and lifelong Treatment options may include uricosuric agents which enhance uric acid excretion xanthine oxidase inhibitors which decrease urate formation and uricase enzymes which catalyze the conversion to allantoin a more soluble purine product The goal of therapy is to obtain and maintain a serum urate level of lt6 mgdL by slowly reducing the circulating urate by 1-2 mgdL per month If the patient fails to meet these goals check for adherence to the treatment and life style changes reevaluate the diagnosis or consider an alternative therapy
The keys to successful treatment of gout are proper hydration therapeutic life style changes adherence to treatment and the use of NSAIDS (colchicine or glucocorticoids) for quick resolution of an acute attack Treatment is lifelong but maintaining urate levels lt6 mgdL will result in tophi resolution over time and a reduction in acute attacks of gout As a result of following the treatment and lifestyle changes indicated above the patient may experience less frequent gout flares or may become free of flares all together leading to an improved quality of life
