Paradise Village Singles - January February 2015

The frigid winter evening of Jan 5th 2015 was

warmed up at the home of Olga Baschak where

16 hungry folks enjoyed their get-together

As usual the food was sensational with some

original dishes such as Sushi Rolls

(Thanks Lynn what a nice treat)

Also Olga served a special beetndashhorseradish

relish that was very flavourful

We also bid farewell to Val Mallen as she is moving to

Steinbach this week She is a special lady and the entire

village will miss her and the many social events

that she organized Of course as an alumnus she is

encouraged to return to our singles group often

We love you Val and wish you a happy new home

Our next fun event will be held

Monday Feb 02 530 pm at the home of Vida Bowyer 16 Nature Dr

All singles please plan to be there (and yes there are men who attend)

You only have to contribute a dish of some sort home made or store bought

You will be most welcome and will have great meal hellip submitted by Joy Morrison

The highlight of the evening

was a trio of birthdays

We celebrated with Vida Ron and Doreen

and indulged in

a Bacardi Rum Cake made by Joy

and

a Black Forest Cake made by Olga

Somehow calories didnt matter

on this occasion

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

According to a news report a certain private Catholic school was recently faced with a unique problem A number of 12-year-old girls were beginning to use lipstick and would put it on in the bathroom That was fine provided it was of a natural or neutral skin tone but after they put on their lipstick they would press their lips to the mirror leaving dozens of little lip prints Every night the custodian would remove them and the next day the girls would put them back Finally the principal Sister Mary decided that something had to be done She called all the girls to the bathroom and met them there with the custodian She explained that all these lip prints were causing a major problem for the custodian who had to clean the mirrors every night (you can just imagine the yawns from the little princesses) To demonstrate how difficult it had been to clean the mirrors Sister Mary asked the custodian to show the girls how much effort was required and how he cleaned off the lipstick marks every night He proceeded to take out a long-handled squeegee dipped it in the toilet bowl and cleaned the mirror with it Since then there have been no lip prints on the mirror

There are teachers

and then there are educators

If Sister Mary ran for office

I would vote for her

Dont mess with a nun

they are holy spirit smart

From the Tab Manhellip Frank Leys

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

On Saturday the 24th of January I was

wondering what my cat was so intently looking

at through the window when I noticed a vole

slip out from under the snow to retrieve some

bread crumbs that I had thrown out for the birds

It then donned on me that there must be a load

of tunnels under the snow WOW

Voles look like house mice but have a

shorter tail a rounded muzzle and head and

small ears Like all rodents voles have a single

pair of large chisel-like incisors in their upper

jaw that continue to grow as the tips wear away

The vole has a dark brown coat with a greyish

belly that turns white in the winter In contrast

the house mouse is uniformly grey

Voles search for green plants and seeds

during the day or night and in winter they

travel in tunnels beneath the insulating snow

making round holes in the snow when coming

up to the surface I never knew this Nature is

so cool Debbie Kokil - 5 Parkview Drive

February 2014

The month of January 2015 could be said to have multiple personalities

Dave Phillips Senior Climatologist with Environment Canada explains this is because the first two weeks of January saw temperatures around -30 while now they are hovering around the freezing mark Phillips notes its been very different when compared to last years recording breaking winter

Just one statistic to compare is the number of days below -30 This year weve probably had about seven of those suckers and some of them were in November Last year at this time there were 18 of them and some of them were close to -38 or -39 Im not talking about the windchill Im talking about the honest temperature as observed by thermometers

Phillips adds even though its hard to say for

sure in January it appears the threat of a flood

is doubtful Also Phillips notes the models

suggest Spring is going to be better than last

years Spring where temperatures made it feel

like it was still winter

Happy New Years2015 to those of us who still remember dates Last year I joined a support group for procrastinators We havent met yet

I dont trip over things I do random gravity checks Old age is coming at a really bad time

When I was a child I thought Nap Time was a punishment now as a grown up it just feels like a small vacation

The biggest lie I tell myself is I dont need to write that down Ill remember it

Lord grant me the strength to accept the things I cannot change the courage to change the things I can and the friends to post

my bail when I finally snap I dont have gray hair I have wisdom highlights Im just very wise

My people skills are just fine Its my tolerance to idiots that needs work

Teach your daughter how to shoot because a restraining order is just a piece of paper

If God wanted me to touch my toes he wouldve put them on my knees

The kids text me plz which is shorter than please I text back no

which is shorter than yes

Im going to retire and live off of my savings Not sure what Ill do

that second week

Ive lost my mind and Im pretty sure my kids took it Even duct tape

cant fix stupid but it can muffle the sound

Why do I have to press one for English when youre just gonna

transfer me to someone I cant understand anyway

Lord Give me patience and give it to me NOW

Of course I talk to myself sometimes I need expert advice

At my age Getting lucky means walking into a room and remem-

bering what I came in there for

Wouldnt it be great if we could put ourselves in the dryer for ten

minutes come out wrinkle-free and three sizes smaller

Life is too short drink the good wine first

Excerpts from a Catrsquos Diaryhellip

Day 752 - My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects They dine lavishly on fresh meat while I am forced to eat dry cereal The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape and the mild satisfaction I get from ruining the occasional piece of furniture Tomorrow I may eat another house plant

Day 761 - Today my attempt to kill my captors by weaving around their feet while they were walking almost succeeded must try this at the top of the stairs In an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors I once again induced myself to vomit on their favorite chairmust try on their bed

Day 765 - Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body in attempt to make them aware of what I am capable of and to try to strike fear into their hearts They only cooed and condescended about what a good little cat I wasHmmmm Not working according to plan

Day 768 - I am finally aware of how sadistic they are For no good reason I was chosen for the water torture This time however it included a burning foamy chemical called ldquoshampoordquo What sick minds could invent such a liquid My only consolation is the piece of thumb still stuck between my teeth

Day 774 - I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe snitches The dog is routinely released and seems more than happy to return He is obviously a half-wit

uncontrollably

He continued ldquoWe make passionate love every dayrdquo

I said ldquoThen why are you cryingrdquo

Paradise Village Resident Barb Prior

Osteoporosis is the condition when the bones become increas-

ingly porous leading to the risk of fractures especially of the wrists

hips or spinal vertebrae (stooped posture or dowagers hump)

This condition affects both women and men Approximately 50

of postmenopausal women are at risk and about 20 of men over

the age of 60 years

Bone density begins to reduce for everyone after it peaks in our late

20s By the age of 35 years our bones become gradually weaker

Osteoporosis occurs when there is an imbalance between new

bone formation and old bone re-absorption

Calcium is essential for proper function of the heart brain and other

organs The body re-absorbs calcium that is stored in the bones to

maintain adequate calcium levels in the blood If your calcium

intake is not sufficient bone production and bone tissue may suffer

resulting in weaker brittle bones If this bone loss occurs over an

extended period of many years it can result in serious damage to

bone health

Risk factors that cannot be modified Age

Race (Caucasians and Asians are at greater risk)

Small bone structure

Family history of osteoporosis

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS

Since bone loss is gradual over many years there are no signs or symptoms in the early stages After many years of

bone loss there may be dull pain in the bones and muscles particularly low back pain or neck pain Most people

become aware that they have osteoporosis when they experience a fracture after a minor fall A slip or strain or even

a violent cough or sneeze may result in a fracture

TREATMENT AND PREVENTION

The risk of a fracture can be lowered with lifestyle changes along with dietary andor supplements to prevent bone loss

Women over 50 and men over 70 require 1000-1200mg of calcium a day

Vitamin D - the sunshine vitamin is needed to increase bone mass In this northern climate we do not get enough

from the sun Foods containing Vitamin D include fortified milk egg yolks saltwater fish and liver

The daily recommended dose of Vitamin D for both women and men over the age of 60 years is 800-1200mgday

Quit smoking

Drink alcohol in moderation (Poor nutrition and increased risk of falls are factors here)

Exercise - weight-bearing exercises or simply walking promotes healthy bones and strengthens the muscles to

support our bones and reduces the risk of falls

If you suspect you may be at risk of osteoporosis

consult your doctor for further evaluation and treatment

Risk factors that can be modified Inactivity or immobility

Reduced Calcium and Vitamin D intake

Smoking

Excessive alcohol intake

Eating disorders (anorexia andor bulimia)

Reduced estrogen production

Just want to take this opportunity to thank everyone for supporting the two South

Beach trips that have been planned to date We sure have a lot of fun donrsquot we

I would be willing to do this overnight trip every second month if that would be your

wish Let me know if this would interest you as bookings for buses and hotel

need to be done quite a bit in advance If there is interest the next one would be

March 3031

For those not familiar with this trip with the rebates it is pretty much a free trip and a

nice getaway in a lovely hotelhellip Call for details

2015

Back by popular demand IF there is enough interest

The last two years have been awesome

Folklorama 2015 is requesting confirmation of trips already so I need to know how many people are interested in

attending I do have a list of people who called some time ago and indicated interest but I need quite a few more to make it work We are able to keep the cost the same as last year and anyone who has gone in the past will tell you it is a real bargain

If you would like the opportunity to go to Folklorama without the line-ups hassle of parking enjoy preferential treatment at the pavilions and also get to enjoy both of the Casinos of Winnipeg and stay at the Club Regent Casino Hotel by Canad Inn give Marilyn a call right away (204-326-4939) I will plan for one trip only at this time and only consider both weeks if there is a lot of interest shown As in the past I will need commitments early If you are not sure if you are on my list call The dates I have in mind are Week 1 ndash Tuesday Aug 4th Wednesday August 5th Week 2 ndash Tuesday Aug 11th Wednesday Aug 12th

For those not familiar with the trip I am adding a sample of what the trip is like

Day one - Casino bus pickup at Steinbach 830 am - Ste Anne 840 - Paradise Village 900 am

There is no report for this month Larry Trush

So I have found some history on Square Dancing

for your reading pleasure Debbie Kokil Editor

Square dance is a dance for four couples (eight dancers) arranged in a square with one couple on each side facing the middle of the square Square dances were first documented in 17th-century England but were also quite common in France and throughout Europe They came to North America with the European settlers and have undergone considerable development there In some countries and regions through preservation and repetition square dances have attained the status of a folk dance

Traditional square dance which is also called old time square dance Traditional square dance is not standardized and can be subdivided into regional styles The New England and Appalachian styles have been particularly well documented both have survived to the present time There are several other styles some have survived or been revived in recent years some have not Traditional square dance is frequently presented in alternation with contra dances (particularly in revival groups) or with some form of freestyle couple dancing (at surviving local events) One ancestor of New England style square dances is the quadrille and older New England callers occasionally refer to their squares as ldquoquadrillesrdquo Where traditional square dance has been revived it encompasses a wide range of new choreography

Modern Western square dance (MWSD) which is also called Western square dance contemporary Western square dance or modern American square dance Modern Western square dance evolved from the Western style of traditional square dance from about 1940 to 1960 Traditional Western square dancing was promoted beginning in the 1930s by Lloyd Shaw who solicited definitions from callers across the country in order to preserve that dance form and make it available to other teachers Since the 1970s modern Western square dance has been promoted and standardized by Callerlab the International Association of Square Dance Callers Because of this standardization it is possible for anyone with the proper training to enjoy Modern Western square dancing in many countries around the world although instruction is typically given in the local language the calls are always in English Modern Western square dance is sometimes presented in alternation with round dances

My New Exercise Routine

Begin by standing on a comfortable surface where you have plenty of room at each side With a 5-lb potato bag in each hand extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long

as you can Try to reach a full minute and then relax

Each day youll find that you can hold this position for just a bit

longer

After a couple of weeks move up to 10-lb potato bags

Then try 50-lb potato bags and eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb potato bag in each hand and hold your arms

straight for more than a full minute (Im at this level)

After you feel confident at that level put a potato in each bag

High Cholesterol

Cholesterol is a waxy substance thats found in the fats (lipids) in your blood While your body

needs cholesterol to continue building healthy cells having high cholesterol can increase your risk of heart disease

When you have high cholesterol you may develop fatty deposits in your blood vessels Eventually these deposits make it difficult for enough blood to flow through your arteries Your heart may not get as much oxygen-rich blood as it needs which increases the risk of a heart attack Decreased blood flow to your brain can cause a stroke

High cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia) can be inherited but its often the result of unhealthy lifestyle choices and thus preventable and treatable A healthy diet regular exercise and sometimes medication can go a long way toward reducing high cholesterol

High cholesterol has no symptoms A blood test is the only way to detect high cholesterol

When to see a doctor

Ask your doctor for a baseline cholesterol test at age 20 and then have your cholesterol retested at least every five years If your test results arent within desirable ranges your doctor may recommend more frequent measurements Your doctor may also suggest you have more frequent tests if you have a family history of high cholesterol heart disease or other risk factors such as smoking diabetes or high blood pressure

Lifestyle changes are essential to improve your cholesterol level To bring your numbers down lose excess weight eat healthy foods and increase your physical activity If you smoke quit

Lose extra pounds

Excess weight contributes to high cholesterol Losing even 5 to 10 pounds can help lower total cholesterol levels Start by taking an honest look at your eating habits and daily routine Consider your challenges to weight loss mdash and ways to overcome them Set long-term sustainable goals

Eat heart-healthy foods

What you eat has a direct impact on your cholesterol level In fact a diet rich in fiber and other cholesterol-lowering foods may help lower cholesterol as much as statin medication for some people

bullChoose healthier fats Saturated fat and trans fat raise your total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol Get no more than 10 percent of your daily calories from saturated fat Monounsaturated fat mdash found in olive peanut and canola oils mdash is a healthier option Almonds and walnuts are other sources of healthy fat

33

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

bullEliminate trans fats Trans fats which are often found in margarines and commercially baked cookies crackers and snack cakes are particularly bad for your cholesterol levels Not only do trans fats increase your total LDL (bad) cholesterol but they also lower your HDL (good) cholesterol

You may have noticed more food labels now market their products as trans fat-free But dont rely only on this label In the United States if a food contains less than 05 grams of trans fat a serving it can be marked trans fat-free It may not seem like much but if you eat a lot of foods with a small amount of trans fat it can add up quickly Instead read the ingredients list If a food contains a partially hydrogenated oil thats a trans fat and you should look for an alternative

bullLimit your dietary cholesterol Aim for no more than 300 milligrams (mg) of cholesterol a day mdash or less than 200 mg if you have heart disease The most concentrated sources of cholesterol include organ meats egg yolks and whole milk products Use lean cuts of meat egg substitutes and skim milk instead

bullSelect whole grains Various nutrients found in whole grains promote heart health Choose whole-grain breads whole-wheat pasta whole-wheat flour and brown rice Oatmeal and oat bran are other good choices

bullStock up on fruits and vegetables Fruits and vegetables are rich in dietary fiber which can help lower cholesterol Snack on seasonal fruits Experiment with vegetable-based casseroles soups and stir-fries

bullEat heart-healthy fish Some types of fish mdash such as cod tuna and halibut mdash have less total fat saturated fat and cholesterol than do meat and poultry Salmon mackerel and herring are rich in omega-3 fatty acids which help promote heart health

bullDrink alcohol only in moderation Moderate use of alcohol may increase your levels of HDL cholesterol mdash but the benefits arent strong enough to recommend alcohol for anyone who does-nt drink already If you choose to drink do so in moderation This means no more than one drink a day for women and one to two drinks a day for men

Exercise regularly

Regular exercise can help improve your cholesterol levels With your doctors OK work up to 30 to 60 minutes of exercise a day Take a brisk daily walk Ride your bike Swim laps To maintain your motivation keep it fun Find an exercise buddy or join an exercise group And you dont need to get all 30 to 60 minutes in one exercise session If you can squeeze in three to six 10-minute intervals of exercise youll still get some cholesterol-lowering benefits

Dont smoke

If you smoke stop Quitting can improve your HDL cholesterol level And the benefits dont end there Just 20 minutes after quitting your blood pressure decreases Within 24 hours your risk of a heart attack decreases Within one year your risk of heart disease is half that of a smokers Within 15 years your risk of heart disease is similar to that of someone whos never smoked

Four old retired men are walking down a

street in Lakeland Florida

They turn a corner and see a sign that says

Old Timers Bar - ALL drinks 10 cents

They look at each other and then go in thinking this is too good to be true

The old bartender says in a voice that carries across the room

Come on in and let me pour one for you Whatll it be gentlemen

Theres a fully stocked bar so each of the men orders a martini

In no time the bartender serves up four iced martinis shaken not stirred and says

Thatll be 10 cents each please

The four guys stare at the bartender for a moment then at each other

They cant believe their good luck

They pay the 40 cents finish their martinis and order another round

Again four excellent martinis are produced with the bartender again saying

ldquoThatrsquos 40 cents please

They pay the 40 cents but their curiosity gets the better of them

Theyve each had two martinis and havent even spent a dollar yet

Finally one of them says How can you afford to serve martinis as good as these for a dime a piece

Im a retired tailor from Orlando the bartender says and I always wanted to own a bar

Last year I hit the Lottery Jackpot for $125 million and decided to open this place

Every drink costs a dime Wine liquor beer its all the same

Wow Thats some story one of the men says

As the four of them sip at their martinis they cant help noticing seven other people

at the end of the bar who dont have any drinks in front of them and havent ordered

anything the whole time theyve been there

Nodding at the seven at the end of the bar

one of the men asks the Bartender Whats with them

The bartender says ldquoTheyrsquore retired people from CANADA

Theyrsquore waiting for Happy Hour when drinks are half-price

plus they have coupons

Paradise Village Singles - January February 2015

The frigid winter evening of Jan 5th 2015 was

warmed up at the home of Olga Baschak where

16 hungry folks enjoyed their get-together

As usual the food was sensational with some

original dishes such as Sushi Rolls

(Thanks Lynn what a nice treat)

Also Olga served a special beetndashhorseradish

relish that was very flavourful

We also bid farewell to Val Mallen as she is moving to

Steinbach this week She is a special lady and the entire

village will miss her and the many social events

that she organized Of course as an alumnus she is

encouraged to return to our singles group often

We love you Val and wish you a happy new home

Our next fun event will be held

Monday Feb 02 530 pm at the home of Vida Bowyer 16 Nature Dr

All singles please plan to be there (and yes there are men who attend)

You only have to contribute a dish of some sort home made or store bought

You will be most welcome and will have great meal hellip submitted by Joy Morrison

The highlight of the evening

was a trio of birthdays

We celebrated with Vida Ron and Doreen

and indulged in

a Bacardi Rum Cake made by Joy

and

a Black Forest Cake made by Olga

Somehow calories didnt matter

on this occasion

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

According to a news report a certain private Catholic school was recently faced with a unique problem A number of 12-year-old girls were beginning to use lipstick and would put it on in the bathroom That was fine provided it was of a natural or neutral skin tone but after they put on their lipstick they would press their lips to the mirror leaving dozens of little lip prints Every night the custodian would remove them and the next day the girls would put them back Finally the principal Sister Mary decided that something had to be done She called all the girls to the bathroom and met them there with the custodian She explained that all these lip prints were causing a major problem for the custodian who had to clean the mirrors every night (you can just imagine the yawns from the little princesses) To demonstrate how difficult it had been to clean the mirrors Sister Mary asked the custodian to show the girls how much effort was required and how he cleaned off the lipstick marks every night He proceeded to take out a long-handled squeegee dipped it in the toilet bowl and cleaned the mirror with it Since then there have been no lip prints on the mirror

There are teachers

and then there are educators

If Sister Mary ran for office

I would vote for her

Dont mess with a nun

they are holy spirit smart

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

On Saturday the 24th of January I was

wondering what my cat was so intently looking

at through the window when I noticed a vole

slip out from under the snow to retrieve some

bread crumbs that I had thrown out for the birds

It then donned on me that there must be a load

of tunnels under the snow WOW

Voles look like house mice but have a

shorter tail a rounded muzzle and head and

small ears Like all rodents voles have a single

pair of large chisel-like incisors in their upper

jaw that continue to grow as the tips wear away

The vole has a dark brown coat with a greyish

belly that turns white in the winter In contrast

the house mouse is uniformly grey

Voles search for green plants and seeds

during the day or night and in winter they

travel in tunnels beneath the insulating snow

making round holes in the snow when coming

up to the surface I never knew this Nature is

so cool Debbie Kokil - 5 Parkview Drive

February 2014

The month of January 2015 could be said to have multiple personalities

Dave Phillips Senior Climatologist with Environment Canada explains this is because the first two weeks of January saw temperatures around -30 while now they are hovering around the freezing mark Phillips notes its been very different when compared to last years recording breaking winter

Just one statistic to compare is the number of days below -30 This year weve probably had about seven of those suckers and some of them were in November Last year at this time there were 18 of them and some of them were close to -38 or -39 Im not talking about the windchill Im talking about the honest temperature as observed by thermometers

Phillips adds even though its hard to say for

sure in January it appears the threat of a flood

is doubtful Also Phillips notes the models

suggest Spring is going to be better than last

years Spring where temperatures made it feel

like it was still winter

Happy New Years2015 to those of us who still remember dates Last year I joined a support group for procrastinators We havent met yet

I dont trip over things I do random gravity checks Old age is coming at a really bad time

When I was a child I thought Nap Time was a punishment now as a grown up it just feels like a small vacation

The biggest lie I tell myself is I dont need to write that down Ill remember it

Lord grant me the strength to accept the things I cannot change the courage to change the things I can and the friends to post

my bail when I finally snap I dont have gray hair I have wisdom highlights Im just very wise

My people skills are just fine Its my tolerance to idiots that needs work

Teach your daughter how to shoot because a restraining order is just a piece of paper

If God wanted me to touch my toes he wouldve put them on my knees

The kids text me plz which is shorter than please I text back no

which is shorter than yes

Im going to retire and live off of my savings Not sure what Ill do

that second week

Ive lost my mind and Im pretty sure my kids took it Even duct tape

cant fix stupid but it can muffle the sound

Why do I have to press one for English when youre just gonna

transfer me to someone I cant understand anyway

Lord Give me patience and give it to me NOW

Of course I talk to myself sometimes I need expert advice

At my age Getting lucky means walking into a room and remem-

bering what I came in there for

Wouldnt it be great if we could put ourselves in the dryer for ten

minutes come out wrinkle-free and three sizes smaller

Life is too short drink the good wine first

Excerpts from a Catrsquos Diaryhellip

Day 752 - My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects They dine lavishly on fresh meat while I am forced to eat dry cereal The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape and the mild satisfaction I get from ruining the occasional piece of furniture Tomorrow I may eat another house plant

Day 761 - Today my attempt to kill my captors by weaving around their feet while they were walking almost succeeded must try this at the top of the stairs In an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors I once again induced myself to vomit on their favorite chairmust try on their bed

Day 765 - Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body in attempt to make them aware of what I am capable of and to try to strike fear into their hearts They only cooed and condescended about what a good little cat I wasHmmmm Not working according to plan

Day 768 - I am finally aware of how sadistic they are For no good reason I was chosen for the water torture This time however it included a burning foamy chemical called ldquoshampoordquo What sick minds could invent such a liquid My only consolation is the piece of thumb still stuck between my teeth

Day 774 - I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe snitches The dog is routinely released and seems more than happy to return He is obviously a half-wit

Paradise Village Resident Barb Prior

Osteoporosis is the condition when the bones become increas-

ingly porous leading to the risk of fractures especially of the wrists

hips or spinal vertebrae (stooped posture or dowagers hump)

This condition affects both women and men Approximately 50

of postmenopausal women are at risk and about 20 of men over

the age of 60 years

Bone density begins to reduce for everyone after it peaks in our late

20s By the age of 35 years our bones become gradually weaker

Osteoporosis occurs when there is an imbalance between new

bone formation and old bone re-absorption

Calcium is essential for proper function of the heart brain and other

organs The body re-absorbs calcium that is stored in the bones to

maintain adequate calcium levels in the blood If your calcium

intake is not sufficient bone production and bone tissue may suffer

resulting in weaker brittle bones If this bone loss occurs over an

extended period of many years it can result in serious damage to

bone health

Risk factors that cannot be modified Age

Race (Caucasians and Asians are at greater risk)

Small bone structure

Family history of osteoporosis

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS

Since bone loss is gradual over many years there are no signs or symptoms in the early stages After many years of

bone loss there may be dull pain in the bones and muscles particularly low back pain or neck pain Most people

become aware that they have osteoporosis when they experience a fracture after a minor fall A slip or strain or even

a violent cough or sneeze may result in a fracture

TREATMENT AND PREVENTION

The risk of a fracture can be lowered with lifestyle changes along with dietary andor supplements to prevent bone loss

Women over 50 and men over 70 require 1000-1200mg of calcium a day

Vitamin D - the sunshine vitamin is needed to increase bone mass In this northern climate we do not get enough

from the sun Foods containing Vitamin D include fortified milk egg yolks saltwater fish and liver

The daily recommended dose of Vitamin D for both women and men over the age of 60 years is 800-1200mgday

Quit smoking

Drink alcohol in moderation (Poor nutrition and increased risk of falls are factors here)

Exercise - weight-bearing exercises or simply walking promotes healthy bones and strengthens the muscles to

support our bones and reduces the risk of falls

If you suspect you may be at risk of osteoporosis

consult your doctor for further evaluation and treatment

Risk factors that can be modified Inactivity or immobility

Reduced Calcium and Vitamin D intake

Smoking

Excessive alcohol intake

Eating disorders (anorexia andor bulimia)

Reduced estrogen production

I would be willing to do this overnight trip every second month if that would be your

wish Let me know if this would interest you as bookings for buses and hotel

need to be done quite a bit in advance If there is interest the next one would be

March 3031

For those not familiar with this trip with the rebates it is pretty much a free trip and a

nice getaway in a lovely hotelhellip Call for details

2015

Back by popular demand IF there is enough interest

The last two years have been awesome

Folklorama 2015 is requesting confirmation of trips already so I need to know how many people are interested in

attending I do have a list of people who called some time ago and indicated interest but I need quite a few more to make it work We are able to keep the cost the same as last year and anyone who has gone in the past will tell you it is a real bargain

If you would like the opportunity to go to Folklorama without the line-ups hassle of parking enjoy preferential treatment at the pavilions and also get to enjoy both of the Casinos of Winnipeg and stay at the Club Regent Casino Hotel by Canad Inn give Marilyn a call right away (204-326-4939) I will plan for one trip only at this time and only consider both weeks if there is a lot of interest shown As in the past I will need commitments early If you are not sure if you are on my list call The dates I have in mind are Week 1 ndash Tuesday Aug 4th Wednesday August 5th Week 2 ndash Tuesday Aug 11th Wednesday Aug 12th

For those not familiar with the trip I am adding a sample of what the trip is like

Day one - Casino bus pickup at Steinbach 830 am - Ste Anne 840 - Paradise Village 900 am

- Arrive McPhillips Street Station in the morning 1000 am - arrive at Club Regent 230 pm and book in at the Canad Inn

- Early evening - arrive at 1st pavilion for an appetizer drink and show - After the show bus will take us to second pavilion for dinner drink and the show there - Finally our bus will take us to a third pavilion for dessert drink and their performance - When the evening is over our bus will take us back to Canad Inn at Club Regent for our overnight stay Your time is your own to do as you please until check out time the following day

Day two -enjoy Club Regent (or do whatever you wish) before leaving for the trip home at 200 pm Pavilions will be the choice of organizers (because of timing) Early commitment insures better pavilion choice Cost includes bus usual Casino Bus benefits of giveaways bingo etc (not the $1000 given on the free monthly trips) pavilion entrance fees food and drink at the pavilions shows and overnight stay ALL THIS FOR ONLY $8500 per person (based on double occupancy) Singles are welcome too but there is an additional charge of $5000 for hotel room unless you are sharing with someone This fantastic deal is only available through our casino bus and overnight stay is mandatory Offer is open to all you do not need to live in Paradise Village so let your friends know too (must be over 18)

There is no report for this month Larry Trush

So I have found some history on Square Dancing

for your reading pleasure Debbie Kokil Editor

Square dance is a dance for four couples (eight dancers) arranged in a square with one couple on each side facing the middle of the square Square dances were first documented in 17th-century England but were also quite common in France and throughout Europe They came to North America with the European settlers and have undergone considerable development there In some countries and regions through preservation and repetition square dances have attained the status of a folk dance

Traditional square dance which is also called old time square dance Traditional square dance is not standardized and can be subdivided into regional styles The New England and Appalachian styles have been particularly well documented both have survived to the present time There are several other styles some have survived or been revived in recent years some have not Traditional square dance is frequently presented in alternation with contra dances (particularly in revival groups) or with some form of freestyle couple dancing (at surviving local events) One ancestor of New England style square dances is the quadrille and older New England callers occasionally refer to their squares as ldquoquadrillesrdquo Where traditional square dance has been revived it encompasses a wide range of new choreography

Modern Western square dance (MWSD) which is also called Western square dance contemporary Western square dance or modern American square dance Modern Western square dance evolved from the Western style of traditional square dance from about 1940 to 1960 Traditional Western square dancing was promoted beginning in the 1930s by Lloyd Shaw who solicited definitions from callers across the country in order to preserve that dance form and make it available to other teachers Since the 1970s modern Western square dance has been promoted and standardized by Callerlab the International Association of Square Dance Callers Because of this standardization it is possible for anyone with the proper training to enjoy Modern Western square dancing in many countries around the world although instruction is typically given in the local language the calls are always in English Modern Western square dance is sometimes presented in alternation with round dances

My New Exercise Routine

Begin by standing on a comfortable surface where you have plenty of room at each side With a 5-lb potato bag in each hand extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long

as you can Try to reach a full minute and then relax

Each day youll find that you can hold this position for just a bit

longer

After a couple of weeks move up to 10-lb potato bags

Then try 50-lb potato bags and eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb potato bag in each hand and hold your arms

straight for more than a full minute (Im at this level)

After you feel confident at that level put a potato in each bag

High Cholesterol

Cholesterol is a waxy substance thats found in the fats (lipids) in your blood While your body

needs cholesterol to continue building healthy cells having high cholesterol can increase your risk of heart disease

When you have high cholesterol you may develop fatty deposits in your blood vessels Eventually these deposits make it difficult for enough blood to flow through your arteries Your heart may not get as much oxygen-rich blood as it needs which increases the risk of a heart attack Decreased blood flow to your brain can cause a stroke

High cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia) can be inherited but its often the result of unhealthy lifestyle choices and thus preventable and treatable A healthy diet regular exercise and sometimes medication can go a long way toward reducing high cholesterol

High cholesterol has no symptoms A blood test is the only way to detect high cholesterol

When to see a doctor

Ask your doctor for a baseline cholesterol test at age 20 and then have your cholesterol retested at least every five years If your test results arent within desirable ranges your doctor may recommend more frequent measurements Your doctor may also suggest you have more frequent tests if you have a family history of high cholesterol heart disease or other risk factors such as smoking diabetes or high blood pressure

Lifestyle changes are essential to improve your cholesterol level To bring your numbers down lose excess weight eat healthy foods and increase your physical activity If you smoke quit

Lose extra pounds

Excess weight contributes to high cholesterol Losing even 5 to 10 pounds can help lower total cholesterol levels Start by taking an honest look at your eating habits and daily routine Consider your challenges to weight loss mdash and ways to overcome them Set long-term sustainable goals

Eat heart-healthy foods

What you eat has a direct impact on your cholesterol level In fact a diet rich in fiber and other cholesterol-lowering foods may help lower cholesterol as much as statin medication for some people

bullChoose healthier fats Saturated fat and trans fat raise your total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol Get no more than 10 percent of your daily calories from saturated fat Monounsaturated fat mdash found in olive peanut and canola oils mdash is a healthier option Almonds and walnuts are other sources of healthy fat

33

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

bullEliminate trans fats Trans fats which are often found in margarines and commercially baked cookies crackers and snack cakes are particularly bad for your cholesterol levels Not only do trans fats increase your total LDL (bad) cholesterol but they also lower your HDL (good) cholesterol

You may have noticed more food labels now market their products as trans fat-free But dont rely only on this label In the United States if a food contains less than 05 grams of trans fat a serving it can be marked trans fat-free It may not seem like much but if you eat a lot of foods with a small amount of trans fat it can add up quickly Instead read the ingredients list If a food contains a partially hydrogenated oil thats a trans fat and you should look for an alternative

bullLimit your dietary cholesterol Aim for no more than 300 milligrams (mg) of cholesterol a day mdash or less than 200 mg if you have heart disease The most concentrated sources of cholesterol include organ meats egg yolks and whole milk products Use lean cuts of meat egg substitutes and skim milk instead

bullSelect whole grains Various nutrients found in whole grains promote heart health Choose whole-grain breads whole-wheat pasta whole-wheat flour and brown rice Oatmeal and oat bran are other good choices

bullStock up on fruits and vegetables Fruits and vegetables are rich in dietary fiber which can help lower cholesterol Snack on seasonal fruits Experiment with vegetable-based casseroles soups and stir-fries

bullEat heart-healthy fish Some types of fish mdash such as cod tuna and halibut mdash have less total fat saturated fat and cholesterol than do meat and poultry Salmon mackerel and herring are rich in omega-3 fatty acids which help promote heart health

bullDrink alcohol only in moderation Moderate use of alcohol may increase your levels of HDL cholesterol mdash but the benefits arent strong enough to recommend alcohol for anyone who does-nt drink already If you choose to drink do so in moderation This means no more than one drink a day for women and one to two drinks a day for men

Exercise regularly

Regular exercise can help improve your cholesterol levels With your doctors OK work up to 30 to 60 minutes of exercise a day Take a brisk daily walk Ride your bike Swim laps To maintain your motivation keep it fun Find an exercise buddy or join an exercise group And you dont need to get all 30 to 60 minutes in one exercise session If you can squeeze in three to six 10-minute intervals of exercise youll still get some cholesterol-lowering benefits

Dont smoke

If you smoke stop Quitting can improve your HDL cholesterol level And the benefits dont end there Just 20 minutes after quitting your blood pressure decreases Within 24 hours your risk of a heart attack decreases Within one year your risk of heart disease is half that of a smokers Within 15 years your risk of heart disease is similar to that of someone whos never smoked

Four old retired men are walking down a

street in Lakeland Florida

They turn a corner and see a sign that says

Old Timers Bar - ALL drinks 10 cents

They look at each other and then go in thinking this is too good to be true

The old bartender says in a voice that carries across the room

Come on in and let me pour one for you Whatll it be gentlemen

Theres a fully stocked bar so each of the men orders a martini

In no time the bartender serves up four iced martinis shaken not stirred and says

Thatll be 10 cents each please

The four guys stare at the bartender for a moment then at each other

They cant believe their good luck

They pay the 40 cents finish their martinis and order another round

Again four excellent martinis are produced with the bartender again saying

ldquoThatrsquos 40 cents please

They pay the 40 cents but their curiosity gets the better of them

Theyve each had two martinis and havent even spent a dollar yet

Finally one of them says How can you afford to serve martinis as good as these for a dime a piece

Im a retired tailor from Orlando the bartender says and I always wanted to own a bar

Last year I hit the Lottery Jackpot for $125 million and decided to open this place

Every drink costs a dime Wine liquor beer its all the same

Wow Thats some story one of the men says

As the four of them sip at their martinis they cant help noticing seven other people

at the end of the bar who dont have any drinks in front of them and havent ordered

anything the whole time theyve been there

Nodding at the seven at the end of the bar

one of the men asks the Bartender Whats with them

The bartender says ldquoTheyrsquore retired people from CANADA

Theyrsquore waiting for Happy Hour when drinks are half-price

plus they have coupons

Paradise Village Singles - January February 2015

The frigid winter evening of Jan 5th 2015 was

warmed up at the home of Olga Baschak where

16 hungry folks enjoyed their get-together

As usual the food was sensational with some

original dishes such as Sushi Rolls

(Thanks Lynn what a nice treat)

Also Olga served a special beetndashhorseradish

relish that was very flavourful

We also bid farewell to Val Mallen as she is moving to

Steinbach this week She is a special lady and the entire

village will miss her and the many social events

that she organized Of course as an alumnus she is

encouraged to return to our singles group often

We love you Val and wish you a happy new home

Our next fun event will be held

Monday Feb 02 530 pm at the home of Vida Bowyer 16 Nature Dr

All singles please plan to be there (and yes there are men who attend)

You only have to contribute a dish of some sort home made or store bought

You will be most welcome and will have great meal hellip submitted by Joy Morrison

The highlight of the evening

was a trio of birthdays

We celebrated with Vida Ron and Doreen

and indulged in

a Bacardi Rum Cake made by Joy

and

a Black Forest Cake made by Olga

Somehow calories didnt matter

on this occasion

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

According to a news report a certain private Catholic school was recently faced with a unique problem A number of 12-year-old girls were beginning to use lipstick and would put it on in the bathroom That was fine provided it was of a natural or neutral skin tone but after they put on their lipstick they would press their lips to the mirror leaving dozens of little lip prints Every night the custodian would remove them and the next day the girls would put them back Finally the principal Sister Mary decided that something had to be done She called all the girls to the bathroom and met them there with the custodian She explained that all these lip prints were causing a major problem for the custodian who had to clean the mirrors every night (you can just imagine the yawns from the little princesses) To demonstrate how difficult it had been to clean the mirrors Sister Mary asked the custodian to show the girls how much effort was required and how he cleaned off the lipstick marks every night He proceeded to take out a long-handled squeegee dipped it in the toilet bowl and cleaned the mirror with it Since then there have been no lip prints on the mirror

There are teachers

and then there are educators

If Sister Mary ran for office

I would vote for her

Dont mess with a nun

they are holy spirit smart

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

On Saturday the 24th of January I was

wondering what my cat was so intently looking

at through the window when I noticed a vole

slip out from under the snow to retrieve some

bread crumbs that I had thrown out for the birds

It then donned on me that there must be a load

of tunnels under the snow WOW

Voles look like house mice but have a

shorter tail a rounded muzzle and head and

small ears Like all rodents voles have a single

pair of large chisel-like incisors in their upper

jaw that continue to grow as the tips wear away

The vole has a dark brown coat with a greyish

belly that turns white in the winter In contrast

the house mouse is uniformly grey

Voles search for green plants and seeds

during the day or night and in winter they

travel in tunnels beneath the insulating snow

making round holes in the snow when coming

up to the surface I never knew this Nature is

so cool Debbie Kokil - 5 Parkview Drive

February 2014

The month of January 2015 could be said to have multiple personalities

Dave Phillips Senior Climatologist with Environment Canada explains this is because the first two weeks of January saw temperatures around -30 while now they are hovering around the freezing mark Phillips notes its been very different when compared to last years recording breaking winter

Just one statistic to compare is the number of days below -30 This year weve probably had about seven of those suckers and some of them were in November Last year at this time there were 18 of them and some of them were close to -38 or -39 Im not talking about the windchill Im talking about the honest temperature as observed by thermometers

Phillips adds even though its hard to say for

sure in January it appears the threat of a flood

is doubtful Also Phillips notes the models

suggest Spring is going to be better than last

years Spring where temperatures made it feel

like it was still winter

Happy New Years2015 to those of us who still remember dates Last year I joined a support group for procrastinators We havent met yet

I dont trip over things I do random gravity checks Old age is coming at a really bad time

When I was a child I thought Nap Time was a punishment now as a grown up it just feels like a small vacation

The biggest lie I tell myself is I dont need to write that down Ill remember it

Lord grant me the strength to accept the things I cannot change the courage to change the things I can and the friends to post

my bail when I finally snap I dont have gray hair I have wisdom highlights Im just very wise

My people skills are just fine Its my tolerance to idiots that needs work

Teach your daughter how to shoot because a restraining order is just a piece of paper

If God wanted me to touch my toes he wouldve put them on my knees

The kids text me plz which is shorter than please I text back no

which is shorter than yes

Im going to retire and live off of my savings Not sure what Ill do

that second week

Ive lost my mind and Im pretty sure my kids took it Even duct tape

cant fix stupid but it can muffle the sound

Why do I have to press one for English when youre just gonna

transfer me to someone I cant understand anyway

Lord Give me patience and give it to me NOW

Of course I talk to myself sometimes I need expert advice

At my age Getting lucky means walking into a room and remem-

bering what I came in there for

Wouldnt it be great if we could put ourselves in the dryer for ten

minutes come out wrinkle-free and three sizes smaller

Life is too short drink the good wine first

Excerpts from a Catrsquos Diaryhellip

Day 752 - My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects They dine lavishly on fresh meat while I am forced to eat dry cereal The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape and the mild satisfaction I get from ruining the occasional piece of furniture Tomorrow I may eat another house plant

Day 761 - Today my attempt to kill my captors by weaving around their feet while they were walking almost succeeded must try this at the top of the stairs In an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors I once again induced myself to vomit on their favorite chairmust try on their bed

Day 765 - Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body in attempt to make them aware of what I am capable of and to try to strike fear into their hearts They only cooed and condescended about what a good little cat I wasHmmmm Not working according to plan

Day 768 - I am finally aware of how sadistic they are For no good reason I was chosen for the water torture This time however it included a burning foamy chemical called ldquoshampoordquo What sick minds could invent such a liquid My only consolation is the piece of thumb still stuck between my teeth

Day 774 - I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe snitches The dog is routinely released and seems more than happy to return He is obviously a half-wit

uncontrollably

He continued ldquoWe make passionate love every dayrdquo

I said ldquoThen why are you cryingrdquo

Paradise Village Resident Barb Prior

Osteoporosis is the condition when the bones become increas-

ingly porous leading to the risk of fractures especially of the wrists

hips or spinal vertebrae (stooped posture or dowagers hump)

This condition affects both women and men Approximately 50

of postmenopausal women are at risk and about 20 of men over

the age of 60 years

Bone density begins to reduce for everyone after it peaks in our late

20s By the age of 35 years our bones become gradually weaker

Osteoporosis occurs when there is an imbalance between new

bone formation and old bone re-absorption

Calcium is essential for proper function of the heart brain and other

organs The body re-absorbs calcium that is stored in the bones to

maintain adequate calcium levels in the blood If your calcium

intake is not sufficient bone production and bone tissue may suffer

resulting in weaker brittle bones If this bone loss occurs over an

extended period of many years it can result in serious damage to

bone health

Risk factors that cannot be modified Age

Race (Caucasians and Asians are at greater risk)

Small bone structure

Family history of osteoporosis

Since bone loss is gradual over many years there are no signs or symptoms in the early stages After many years of

bone loss there may be dull pain in the bones and muscles particularly low back pain or neck pain Most people

become aware that they have osteoporosis when they experience a fracture after a minor fall A slip or strain or even

a violent cough or sneeze may result in a fracture

TREATMENT AND PREVENTION

The risk of a fracture can be lowered with lifestyle changes along with dietary andor supplements to prevent bone loss

Women over 50 and men over 70 require 1000-1200mg of calcium a day

Vitamin D - the sunshine vitamin is needed to increase bone mass In this northern climate we do not get enough

from the sun Foods containing Vitamin D include fortified milk egg yolks saltwater fish and liver

The daily recommended dose of Vitamin D for both women and men over the age of 60 years is 800-1200mgday

Quit smoking

Drink alcohol in moderation (Poor nutrition and increased risk of falls are factors here)

Exercise - weight-bearing exercises or simply walking promotes healthy bones and strengthens the muscles to

support our bones and reduces the risk of falls

If you suspect you may be at risk of osteoporosis

consult your doctor for further evaluation and treatment

Risk factors that can be modified Inactivity or immobility

Reduced Calcium and Vitamin D intake

Smoking

Excessive alcohol intake

Eating disorders (anorexia andor bulimia)

Reduced estrogen production

Just want to take this opportunity to thank everyone for supporting the two South

Beach trips that have been planned to date We sure have a lot of fun donrsquot we

I would be willing to do this overnight trip every second month if that would be your

wish Let me know if this would interest you as bookings for buses and hotel

Back by popular demand IF there is enough interest

The last two years have been awesome

Folklorama 2015 is requesting confirmation of trips already so I need to know how many people are interested in

attending I do have a list of people who called some time ago and indicated interest but I need quite a few more to make it work We are able to keep the cost the same as last year and anyone who has gone in the past will tell you it is a real bargain

If you would like the opportunity to go to Folklorama without the line-ups hassle of parking enjoy preferential treatment at the pavilions and also get to enjoy both of the Casinos of Winnipeg and stay at the Club Regent Casino Hotel by Canad Inn give Marilyn a call right away (204-326-4939) I will plan for one trip only at this time and only consider both weeks if there is a lot of interest shown As in the past I will need commitments early If you are not sure if you are on my list call The dates I have in mind are Week 1 ndash Tuesday Aug 4th Wednesday August 5th Week 2 ndash Tuesday Aug 11th Wednesday Aug 12th

For those not familiar with the trip I am adding a sample of what the trip is like

Day one - Casino bus pickup at Steinbach 830 am - Ste Anne 840 - Paradise Village 900 am

- Arrive McPhillips Street Station in the morning 1000 am - arrive at Club Regent 230 pm and book in at the Canad Inn

- Early evening - arrive at 1st pavilion for an appetizer drink and show - After the show bus will take us to second pavilion for dinner drink and the show there - Finally our bus will take us to a third pavilion for dessert drink and their performance - When the evening is over our bus will take us back to Canad Inn at Club Regent for our overnight stay Your time is your own to do as you please until check out time the following day

Day two -enjoy Club Regent (or do whatever you wish) before leaving for the trip home at 200 pm Pavilions will be the choice of organizers (because of timing) Early commitment insures better pavilion choice Cost includes bus usual Casino Bus benefits of giveaways bingo etc (not the $1000 given on the free monthly trips) pavilion entrance fees food and drink at the pavilions shows and overnight stay ALL THIS FOR ONLY $8500 per person (based on double occupancy) Singles are welcome too but there is an additional charge of $5000 for hotel room unless you are sharing with someone This fantastic deal is only available through our casino bus and overnight stay is mandatory Offer is open to all you do not need to live in Paradise Village so let your friends know too (must be over 18)

There is no report for this month Larry Trush

So I have found some history on Square Dancing

for your reading pleasure Debbie Kokil Editor

Square dance is a dance for four couples (eight dancers) arranged in a square with one couple on each side facing the middle of the square Square dances were first documented in 17th-century England but were also quite common in France and throughout Europe They came to North America with the European settlers and have undergone considerable development there In some countries and regions through preservation and repetition square dances have attained the status of a folk dance

Traditional square dance which is also called old time square dance Traditional square dance is not standardized and can be subdivided into regional styles The New England and Appalachian styles have been particularly well documented both have survived to the present time There are several other styles some have survived or been revived in recent years some have not Traditional square dance is frequently presented in alternation with contra dances (particularly in revival groups) or with some form of freestyle couple dancing (at surviving local events) One ancestor of New England style square dances is the quadrille and older New England callers occasionally refer to their squares as ldquoquadrillesrdquo Where traditional square dance has been revived it encompasses a wide range of new choreography

Modern Western square dance (MWSD) which is also called Western square dance contemporary Western square dance or modern American square dance Modern Western square dance evolved from the Western style of traditional square dance from about 1940 to 1960 Traditional Western square dancing was promoted beginning in the 1930s by Lloyd Shaw who solicited definitions from callers across the country in order to preserve that dance form and make it available to other teachers Since the 1970s modern Western square dance has been promoted and standardized by Callerlab the International Association of Square Dance Callers Because of this standardization it is possible for anyone with the proper training to enjoy Modern Western square dancing in many countries around the world although instruction is typically given in the local language the calls are always in English Modern Western square dance is sometimes presented in alternation with round dances

My New Exercise Routine

Begin by standing on a comfortable surface where you have plenty of room at each side With a 5-lb potato bag in each hand extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long

as you can Try to reach a full minute and then relax

Each day youll find that you can hold this position for just a bit

longer

After a couple of weeks move up to 10-lb potato bags

Then try 50-lb potato bags and eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb potato bag in each hand and hold your arms

straight for more than a full minute (Im at this level)

After you feel confident at that level put a potato in each bag

High Cholesterol

Cholesterol is a waxy substance thats found in the fats (lipids) in your blood While your body

needs cholesterol to continue building healthy cells having high cholesterol can increase your risk of heart disease

When you have high cholesterol you may develop fatty deposits in your blood vessels Eventually these deposits make it difficult for enough blood to flow through your arteries Your heart may not get as much oxygen-rich blood as it needs which increases the risk of a heart attack Decreased blood flow to your brain can cause a stroke

High cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia) can be inherited but its often the result of unhealthy lifestyle choices and thus preventable and treatable A healthy diet regular exercise and sometimes medication can go a long way toward reducing high cholesterol

High cholesterol has no symptoms A blood test is the only way to detect high cholesterol

When to see a doctor

Ask your doctor for a baseline cholesterol test at age 20 and then have your cholesterol retested at least every five years If your test results arent within desirable ranges your doctor may recommend more frequent measurements Your doctor may also suggest you have more frequent tests if you have a family history of high cholesterol heart disease or other risk factors such as smoking diabetes or high blood pressure

Lifestyle changes are essential to improve your cholesterol level To bring your numbers down lose excess weight eat healthy foods and increase your physical activity If you smoke quit

Lose extra pounds

Excess weight contributes to high cholesterol Losing even 5 to 10 pounds can help lower total cholesterol levels Start by taking an honest look at your eating habits and daily routine Consider your challenges to weight loss mdash and ways to overcome them Set long-term sustainable goals

Eat heart-healthy foods

What you eat has a direct impact on your cholesterol level In fact a diet rich in fiber and other cholesterol-lowering foods may help lower cholesterol as much as statin medication for some people

bullChoose healthier fats Saturated fat and trans fat raise your total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol Get no more than 10 percent of your daily calories from saturated fat Monounsaturated fat mdash found in olive peanut and canola oils mdash is a healthier option Almonds and walnuts are other sources of healthy fat

33

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

bullEliminate trans fats Trans fats which are often found in margarines and commercially baked cookies crackers and snack cakes are particularly bad for your cholesterol levels Not only do trans fats increase your total LDL (bad) cholesterol but they also lower your HDL (good) cholesterol

You may have noticed more food labels now market their products as trans fat-free But dont rely only on this label In the United States if a food contains less than 05 grams of trans fat a serving it can be marked trans fat-free It may not seem like much but if you eat a lot of foods with a small amount of trans fat it can add up quickly Instead read the ingredients list If a food contains a partially hydrogenated oil thats a trans fat and you should look for an alternative

bullLimit your dietary cholesterol Aim for no more than 300 milligrams (mg) of cholesterol a day mdash or less than 200 mg if you have heart disease The most concentrated sources of cholesterol include organ meats egg yolks and whole milk products Use lean cuts of meat egg substitutes and skim milk instead

bullSelect whole grains Various nutrients found in whole grains promote heart health Choose whole-grain breads whole-wheat pasta whole-wheat flour and brown rice Oatmeal and oat bran are other good choices

bullStock up on fruits and vegetables Fruits and vegetables are rich in dietary fiber which can help lower cholesterol Snack on seasonal fruits Experiment with vegetable-based casseroles soups and stir-fries

bullEat heart-healthy fish Some types of fish mdash such as cod tuna and halibut mdash have less total fat saturated fat and cholesterol than do meat and poultry Salmon mackerel and herring are rich in omega-3 fatty acids which help promote heart health

bullDrink alcohol only in moderation Moderate use of alcohol may increase your levels of HDL cholesterol mdash but the benefits arent strong enough to recommend alcohol for anyone who does-nt drink already If you choose to drink do so in moderation This means no more than one drink a day for women and one to two drinks a day for men

Exercise regularly

Regular exercise can help improve your cholesterol levels With your doctors OK work up to 30 to 60 minutes of exercise a day Take a brisk daily walk Ride your bike Swim laps To maintain your motivation keep it fun Find an exercise buddy or join an exercise group And you dont need to get all 30 to 60 minutes in one exercise session If you can squeeze in three to six 10-minute intervals of exercise youll still get some cholesterol-lowering benefits

Dont smoke

If you smoke stop Quitting can improve your HDL cholesterol level And the benefits dont end there Just 20 minutes after quitting your blood pressure decreases Within 24 hours your risk of a heart attack decreases Within one year your risk of heart disease is half that of a smokers Within 15 years your risk of heart disease is similar to that of someone whos never smoked

Four old retired men are walking down a

street in Lakeland Florida

They turn a corner and see a sign that says

Old Timers Bar - ALL drinks 10 cents

They look at each other and then go in thinking this is too good to be true

The old bartender says in a voice that carries across the room

Come on in and let me pour one for you Whatll it be gentlemen

Theres a fully stocked bar so each of the men orders a martini

In no time the bartender serves up four iced martinis shaken not stirred and says

Thatll be 10 cents each please

The four guys stare at the bartender for a moment then at each other

They cant believe their good luck

They pay the 40 cents finish their martinis and order another round

Again four excellent martinis are produced with the bartender again saying

ldquoThatrsquos 40 cents please

They pay the 40 cents but their curiosity gets the better of them

Theyve each had two martinis and havent even spent a dollar yet

Finally one of them says How can you afford to serve martinis as good as these for a dime a piece

Im a retired tailor from Orlando the bartender says and I always wanted to own a bar

Last year I hit the Lottery Jackpot for $125 million and decided to open this place

Every drink costs a dime Wine liquor beer its all the same

Wow Thats some story one of the men says

As the four of them sip at their martinis they cant help noticing seven other people

at the end of the bar who dont have any drinks in front of them and havent ordered

anything the whole time theyve been there

Nodding at the seven at the end of the bar

one of the men asks the Bartender Whats with them

The bartender says ldquoTheyrsquore retired people from CANADA

Theyrsquore waiting for Happy Hour when drinks are half-price

plus they have coupons

According to a news report a certain private Catholic school was recently faced with a unique problem A number of 12-year-old girls were beginning to use lipstick and would put it on in the bathroom That was fine provided it was of a natural or neutral skin tone but after they put on their lipstick they would press their lips to the mirror leaving dozens of little lip prints Every night the custodian would remove them and the next day the girls would put them back Finally the principal Sister Mary decided that something had to be done She called all the girls to the bathroom and met them there with the custodian She explained that all these lip prints were causing a major problem for the custodian who had to clean the mirrors every night (you can just imagine the yawns from the little princesses) To demonstrate how difficult it had been to clean the mirrors Sister Mary asked the custodian to show the girls how much effort was required and how he cleaned off the lipstick marks every night He proceeded to take out a long-handled squeegee dipped it in the toilet bowl and cleaned the mirror with it Since then there have been no lip prints on the mirror

There are teachers

and then there are educators

If Sister Mary ran for office

I would vote for her

Dont mess with a nun

they are holy spirit smart

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

On Saturday the 24th of January I was

wondering what my cat was so intently looking

at through the window when I noticed a vole

slip out from under the snow to retrieve some

bread crumbs that I had thrown out for the birds

It then donned on me that there must be a load

of tunnels under the snow WOW

Voles look like house mice but have a

shorter tail a rounded muzzle and head and

small ears Like all rodents voles have a single

pair of large chisel-like incisors in their upper

jaw that continue to grow as the tips wear away

The vole has a dark brown coat with a greyish

belly that turns white in the winter In contrast

the house mouse is uniformly grey

Voles search for green plants and seeds

during the day or night and in winter they

travel in tunnels beneath the insulating snow

making round holes in the snow when coming

up to the surface I never knew this Nature is

so cool Debbie Kokil - 5 Parkview Drive

February 2014

The month of January 2015 could be said to have multiple personalities

Dave Phillips Senior Climatologist with Environment Canada explains this is because the first two weeks of January saw temperatures around -30 while now they are hovering around the freezing mark Phillips notes its been very different when compared to last years recording breaking winter

Just one statistic to compare is the number of days below -30 This year weve probably had about seven of those suckers and some of them were in November Last year at this time there were 18 of them and some of them were close to -38 or -39 Im not talking about the windchill Im talking about the honest temperature as observed by thermometers

Phillips adds even though its hard to say for

sure in January it appears the threat of a flood

is doubtful Also Phillips notes the models

suggest Spring is going to be better than last

years Spring where temperatures made it feel

like it was still winter

Happy New Years2015 to those of us who still remember dates Last year I joined a support group for procrastinators We havent met yet

I dont trip over things I do random gravity checks Old age is coming at a really bad time

When I was a child I thought Nap Time was a punishment now as a grown up it just feels like a small vacation

The biggest lie I tell myself is I dont need to write that down Ill remember it

Lord grant me the strength to accept the things I cannot change the courage to change the things I can and the friends to post

my bail when I finally snap I dont have gray hair I have wisdom highlights Im just very wise

My people skills are just fine Its my tolerance to idiots that needs work

Teach your daughter how to shoot because a restraining order is just a piece of paper

If God wanted me to touch my toes he wouldve put them on my knees

The kids text me plz which is shorter than please I text back no

which is shorter than yes

Im going to retire and live off of my savings Not sure what Ill do

that second week

Ive lost my mind and Im pretty sure my kids took it Even duct tape

cant fix stupid but it can muffle the sound

Why do I have to press one for English when youre just gonna

transfer me to someone I cant understand anyway

Lord Give me patience and give it to me NOW

Of course I talk to myself sometimes I need expert advice

At my age Getting lucky means walking into a room and remem-

bering what I came in there for

Wouldnt it be great if we could put ourselves in the dryer for ten

minutes come out wrinkle-free and three sizes smaller

Life is too short drink the good wine first

Excerpts from a Catrsquos Diaryhellip

Day 752 - My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects They dine lavishly on fresh meat while I am forced to eat dry cereal The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape and the mild satisfaction I get from ruining the occasional piece of furniture Tomorrow I may eat another house plant

Day 761 - Today my attempt to kill my captors by weaving around their feet while they were walking almost succeeded must try this at the top of the stairs In an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors I once again induced myself to vomit on their favorite chairmust try on their bed

Day 765 - Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body in attempt to make them aware of what I am capable of and to try to strike fear into their hearts They only cooed and condescended about what a good little cat I wasHmmmm Not working according to plan

Day 768 - I am finally aware of how sadistic they are For no good reason I was chosen for the water torture This time however it included a burning foamy chemical called ldquoshampoordquo What sick minds could invent such a liquid My only consolation is the piece of thumb still stuck between my teeth

Day 774 - I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe snitches The dog is routinely released and seems more than happy to return He is obviously a half-wit

I asked him ldquoWhy are you

cryingrdquo

He told me ldquoI am married to

a young beautiful woman

that means everything to

But he just kept sobbing

uncontrollably

He continued ldquoWe make passionate love every dayrdquo

I said ldquoThen why are you cryingrdquo

Paradise Village Resident Barb Prior

Osteoporosis is the condition when the bones become increas-

ingly porous leading to the risk of fractures especially of the wrists

hips or spinal vertebrae (stooped posture or dowagers hump)

This condition affects both women and men Approximately 50

of postmenopausal women are at risk and about 20 of men over

the age of 60 years

Bone density begins to reduce for everyone after it peaks in our late

20s By the age of 35 years our bones become gradually weaker

Osteoporosis occurs when there is an imbalance between new

bone formation and old bone re-absorption

Calcium is essential for proper function of the heart brain and other

organs The body re-absorbs calcium that is stored in the bones to

maintain adequate calcium levels in the blood If your calcium

intake is not sufficient bone production and bone tissue may suffer

resulting in weaker brittle bones If this bone loss occurs over an

extended period of many years it can result in serious damage to

bone health

Risk factors that cannot be modified Age

Race (Caucasians and Asians are at greater risk)

Small bone structure

Family history of osteoporosis

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS

Since bone loss is gradual over many years there are no signs or symptoms in the early stages After many years of

bone loss there may be dull pain in the bones and muscles particularly low back pain or neck pain Most people

become aware that they have osteoporosis when they experience a fracture after a minor fall A slip or strain or even

a violent cough or sneeze may result in a fracture

TREATMENT AND PREVENTION

The risk of a fracture can be lowered with lifestyle changes along with dietary andor supplements to prevent bone loss

Women over 50 and men over 70 require 1000-1200mg of calcium a day

Vitamin D - the sunshine vitamin is needed to increase bone mass In this northern climate we do not get enough

from the sun Foods containing Vitamin D include fortified milk egg yolks saltwater fish and liver

The daily recommended dose of Vitamin D for both women and men over the age of 60 years is 800-1200mgday

Quit smoking

Drink alcohol in moderation (Poor nutrition and increased risk of falls are factors here)

Exercise - weight-bearing exercises or simply walking promotes healthy bones and strengthens the muscles to

support our bones and reduces the risk of falls

If you suspect you may be at risk of osteoporosis

consult your doctor for further evaluation and treatment

Risk factors that can be modified Inactivity or immobility

Reduced Calcium and Vitamin D intake

Smoking

Excessive alcohol intake

Eating disorders (anorexia andor bulimia)

Reduced estrogen production

Just want to take this opportunity to thank everyone for supporting the two South

Beach trips that have been planned to date We sure have a lot of fun donrsquot we

I would be willing to do this overnight trip every second month if that would be your

wish Let me know if this would interest you as bookings for buses and hotel

Back by popular demand IF there is enough interest

The last two years have been awesome

Folklorama 2015 is requesting confirmation of trips already so I need to know how many people are interested in

attending I do have a list of people who called some time ago and indicated interest but I need quite a few more to make it work We are able to keep the cost the same as last year and anyone who has gone in the past will tell you it is a real bargain

If you would like the opportunity to go to Folklorama without the line-ups hassle of parking enjoy preferential treatment at the pavilions and also get to enjoy both of the Casinos of Winnipeg and stay at the Club Regent Casino Hotel by Canad Inn give Marilyn a call right away (204-326-4939) I will plan for one trip only at this time and only consider both weeks if there is a lot of interest shown As in the past I will need commitments early If you are not sure if you are on my list call The dates I have in mind are Week 1 ndash Tuesday Aug 4th Wednesday August 5th Week 2 ndash Tuesday Aug 11th Wednesday Aug 12th

For those not familiar with the trip I am adding a sample of what the trip is like

Day one - Casino bus pickup at Steinbach 830 am - Ste Anne 840 - Paradise Village 900 am

- Arrive McPhillips Street Station in the morning 1000 am - arrive at Club Regent 230 pm and book in at the Canad Inn

- Early evening - arrive at 1st pavilion for an appetizer drink and show - After the show bus will take us to second pavilion for dinner drink and the show there - Finally our bus will take us to a third pavilion for dessert drink and their performance - When the evening is over our bus will take us back to Canad Inn at Club Regent for our overnight stay Your time is your own to do as you please until check out time the following day

Day two -enjoy Club Regent (or do whatever you wish) before leaving for the trip home at 200 pm Pavilions will be the choice of organizers (because of timing) Early commitment insures better pavilion choice Cost includes bus usual Casino Bus benefits of giveaways bingo etc (not the $1000 given on the free monthly trips) pavilion entrance fees food and drink at the pavilions shows and overnight stay ALL THIS FOR ONLY $8500 per person (based on double occupancy) Singles are welcome too but there is an additional charge of $5000 for hotel room unless you are sharing with someone This fantastic deal is only available through our casino bus and overnight stay is mandatory Offer is open to all you do not need to live in Paradise Village so let your friends know too (must be over 18)

There is no report for this month Larry Trush

So I have found some history on Square Dancing

for your reading pleasure Debbie Kokil Editor

Square dance is a dance for four couples (eight dancers) arranged in a square with one couple on each side facing the middle of the square Square dances were first documented in 17th-century England but were also quite common in France and throughout Europe They came to North America with the European settlers and have undergone considerable development there In some countries and regions through preservation and repetition square dances have attained the status of a folk dance

Traditional square dance which is also called old time square dance Traditional square dance is not standardized and can be subdivided into regional styles The New England and Appalachian styles have been particularly well documented both have survived to the present time There are several other styles some have survived or been revived in recent years some have not Traditional square dance is frequently presented in alternation with contra dances (particularly in revival groups) or with some form of freestyle couple dancing (at surviving local events) One ancestor of New England style square dances is the quadrille and older New England callers occasionally refer to their squares as ldquoquadrillesrdquo Where traditional square dance has been revived it encompasses a wide range of new choreography

Modern Western square dance (MWSD) which is also called Western square dance contemporary Western square dance or modern American square dance Modern Western square dance evolved from the Western style of traditional square dance from about 1940 to 1960 Traditional Western square dancing was promoted beginning in the 1930s by Lloyd Shaw who solicited definitions from callers across the country in order to preserve that dance form and make it available to other teachers Since the 1970s modern Western square dance has been promoted and standardized by Callerlab the International Association of Square Dance Callers Because of this standardization it is possible for anyone with the proper training to enjoy Modern Western square dancing in many countries around the world although instruction is typically given in the local language the calls are always in English Modern Western square dance is sometimes presented in alternation with round dances

My New Exercise Routine

Begin by standing on a comfortable surface where you have plenty of room at each side With a 5-lb potato bag in each hand extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long

as you can Try to reach a full minute and then relax

Each day youll find that you can hold this position for just a bit

longer

After a couple of weeks move up to 10-lb potato bags

Then try 50-lb potato bags and eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb potato bag in each hand and hold your arms

straight for more than a full minute (Im at this level)

After you feel confident at that level put a potato in each bag

High Cholesterol

Cholesterol is a waxy substance thats found in the fats (lipids) in your blood While your body

needs cholesterol to continue building healthy cells having high cholesterol can increase your risk of heart disease

When you have high cholesterol you may develop fatty deposits in your blood vessels Eventually these deposits make it difficult for enough blood to flow through your arteries Your heart may not get as much oxygen-rich blood as it needs which increases the risk of a heart attack Decreased blood flow to your brain can cause a stroke

High cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia) can be inherited but its often the result of unhealthy lifestyle choices and thus preventable and treatable A healthy diet regular exercise and sometimes medication can go a long way toward reducing high cholesterol

High cholesterol has no symptoms A blood test is the only way to detect high cholesterol

When to see a doctor

Ask your doctor for a baseline cholesterol test at age 20 and then have your cholesterol retested at least every five years If your test results arent within desirable ranges your doctor may recommend more frequent measurements Your doctor may also suggest you have more frequent tests if you have a family history of high cholesterol heart disease or other risk factors such as smoking diabetes or high blood pressure

Lifestyle changes are essential to improve your cholesterol level To bring your numbers down lose excess weight eat healthy foods and increase your physical activity If you smoke quit

Lose extra pounds

Excess weight contributes to high cholesterol Losing even 5 to 10 pounds can help lower total cholesterol levels Start by taking an honest look at your eating habits and daily routine Consider your challenges to weight loss mdash and ways to overcome them Set long-term sustainable goals

Eat heart-healthy foods

What you eat has a direct impact on your cholesterol level In fact a diet rich in fiber and other cholesterol-lowering foods may help lower cholesterol as much as statin medication for some people

bullChoose healthier fats Saturated fat and trans fat raise your total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol Get no more than 10 percent of your daily calories from saturated fat Monounsaturated fat mdash found in olive peanut and canola oils mdash is a healthier option Almonds and walnuts are other sources of healthy fat

33

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

bullEliminate trans fats Trans fats which are often found in margarines and commercially baked cookies crackers and snack cakes are particularly bad for your cholesterol levels Not only do trans fats increase your total LDL (bad) cholesterol but they also lower your HDL (good) cholesterol

You may have noticed more food labels now market their products as trans fat-free But dont rely only on this label In the United States if a food contains less than 05 grams of trans fat a serving it can be marked trans fat-free It may not seem like much but if you eat a lot of foods with a small amount of trans fat it can add up quickly Instead read the ingredients list If a food contains a partially hydrogenated oil thats a trans fat and you should look for an alternative

bullLimit your dietary cholesterol Aim for no more than 300 milligrams (mg) of cholesterol a day mdash or less than 200 mg if you have heart disease The most concentrated sources of cholesterol include organ meats egg yolks and whole milk products Use lean cuts of meat egg substitutes and skim milk instead

bullSelect whole grains Various nutrients found in whole grains promote heart health Choose whole-grain breads whole-wheat pasta whole-wheat flour and brown rice Oatmeal and oat bran are other good choices

bullStock up on fruits and vegetables Fruits and vegetables are rich in dietary fiber which can help lower cholesterol Snack on seasonal fruits Experiment with vegetable-based casseroles soups and stir-fries

bullEat heart-healthy fish Some types of fish mdash such as cod tuna and halibut mdash have less total fat saturated fat and cholesterol than do meat and poultry Salmon mackerel and herring are rich in omega-3 fatty acids which help promote heart health

bullDrink alcohol only in moderation Moderate use of alcohol may increase your levels of HDL cholesterol mdash but the benefits arent strong enough to recommend alcohol for anyone who does-nt drink already If you choose to drink do so in moderation This means no more than one drink a day for women and one to two drinks a day for men

Exercise regularly

Regular exercise can help improve your cholesterol levels With your doctors OK work up to 30 to 60 minutes of exercise a day Take a brisk daily walk Ride your bike Swim laps To maintain your motivation keep it fun Find an exercise buddy or join an exercise group And you dont need to get all 30 to 60 minutes in one exercise session If you can squeeze in three to six 10-minute intervals of exercise youll still get some cholesterol-lowering benefits

Dont smoke

If you smoke stop Quitting can improve your HDL cholesterol level And the benefits dont end there Just 20 minutes after quitting your blood pressure decreases Within 24 hours your risk of a heart attack decreases Within one year your risk of heart disease is half that of a smokers Within 15 years your risk of heart disease is similar to that of someone whos never smoked

and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

Four old retired men are walking down a

street in Lakeland Florida

They turn a corner and see a sign that says

Old Timers Bar - ALL drinks 10 cents

They look at each other and then go in thinking this is too good to be true

The old bartender says in a voice that carries across the room

Come on in and let me pour one for you Whatll it be gentlemen

Theres a fully stocked bar so each of the men orders a martini

In no time the bartender serves up four iced martinis shaken not stirred and says

Thatll be 10 cents each please

The four guys stare at the bartender for a moment then at each other

They cant believe their good luck

They pay the 40 cents finish their martinis and order another round

Again four excellent martinis are produced with the bartender again saying

ldquoThatrsquos 40 cents please

They pay the 40 cents but their curiosity gets the better of them

Theyve each had two martinis and havent even spent a dollar yet

Finally one of them says How can you afford to serve martinis as good as these for a dime a piece

Im a retired tailor from Orlando the bartender says and I always wanted to own a bar

Last year I hit the Lottery Jackpot for $125 million and decided to open this place

Every drink costs a dime Wine liquor beer its all the same

Wow Thats some story one of the men says

As the four of them sip at their martinis they cant help noticing seven other people

at the end of the bar who dont have any drinks in front of them and havent ordered

anything the whole time theyve been there

Nodding at the seven at the end of the bar

one of the men asks the Bartender Whats with them

The bartender says ldquoTheyrsquore retired people from CANADA

Theyrsquore waiting for Happy Hour when drinks are half-price

plus they have coupons

According to a news report a certain private Catholic school was recently faced with a unique problem A number of 12-year-old girls were beginning to use lipstick and would put it on in the bathroom That was fine provided it was of a natural or neutral skin tone but after they put on their lipstick they would press their lips to the mirror leaving dozens of little lip prints Every night the custodian would remove them and the next day the girls would put them back Finally the principal Sister Mary decided that something had to be done She called all the girls to the bathroom and met them there with the custodian She explained that all these lip prints were causing a major problem for the custodian who had to clean the mirrors every night (you can just imagine the yawns from the little princesses) To demonstrate how difficult it had been to clean the mirrors Sister Mary asked the custodian to show the girls how much effort was required and how he cleaned off the lipstick marks every night He proceeded to take out a long-handled squeegee dipped it in the toilet bowl and cleaned the mirror with it Since then there have been no lip prints on the mirror

There are teachers

and then there are educators

If Sister Mary ran for office

I would vote for her

Dont mess with a nun

they are holy spirit smart

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

On Saturday the 24th of January I was

wondering what my cat was so intently looking

at through the window when I noticed a vole

slip out from under the snow to retrieve some

bread crumbs that I had thrown out for the birds

It then donned on me that there must be a load

of tunnels under the snow WOW

Voles look like house mice but have a

shorter tail a rounded muzzle and head and

small ears Like all rodents voles have a single

pair of large chisel-like incisors in their upper

jaw that continue to grow as the tips wear away

The vole has a dark brown coat with a greyish

belly that turns white in the winter In contrast

the house mouse is uniformly grey

Voles search for green plants and seeds

during the day or night and in winter they

travel in tunnels beneath the insulating snow

making round holes in the snow when coming

up to the surface I never knew this Nature is

so cool Debbie Kokil - 5 Parkview Drive

February 2014

The month of January 2015 could be said to have multiple personalities

Dave Phillips Senior Climatologist with Environment Canada explains this is because the first two weeks of January saw temperatures around -30 while now they are hovering around the freezing mark Phillips notes its been very different when compared to last years recording breaking winter

Just one statistic to compare is the number of days below -30 This year weve probably had about seven of those suckers and some of them were in November Last year at this time there were 18 of them and some of them were close to -38 or -39 Im not talking about the windchill Im talking about the honest temperature as observed by thermometers

Phillips adds even though its hard to say for

sure in January it appears the threat of a flood

is doubtful Also Phillips notes the models

suggest Spring is going to be better than last

years Spring where temperatures made it feel

like it was still winter

Happy New Years2015 to those of us who still remember dates Last year I joined a support group for procrastinators We havent met yet

I dont trip over things I do random gravity checks Old age is coming at a really bad time

When I was a child I thought Nap Time was a punishment now as a grown up it just feels like a small vacation

The biggest lie I tell myself is I dont need to write that down Ill remember it

Lord grant me the strength to accept the things I cannot change the courage to change the things I can and the friends to post

my bail when I finally snap I dont have gray hair I have wisdom highlights Im just very wise

My people skills are just fine Its my tolerance to idiots that needs work

Teach your daughter how to shoot because a restraining order is just a piece of paper

If God wanted me to touch my toes he wouldve put them on my knees

The kids text me plz which is shorter than please I text back no

which is shorter than yes

Im going to retire and live off of my savings Not sure what Ill do

that second week

Ive lost my mind and Im pretty sure my kids took it Even duct tape

cant fix stupid but it can muffle the sound

Why do I have to press one for English when youre just gonna

transfer me to someone I cant understand anyway

Lord Give me patience and give it to me NOW

Of course I talk to myself sometimes I need expert advice

At my age Getting lucky means walking into a room and remem-

bering what I came in there for

Wouldnt it be great if we could put ourselves in the dryer for ten

minutes come out wrinkle-free and three sizes smaller

Life is too short drink the good wine first

Excerpts from a Catrsquos Diaryhellip

Day 752 - My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects They dine lavishly on fresh meat while I am forced to eat dry cereal The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape and the mild satisfaction I get from ruining the occasional piece of furniture Tomorrow I may eat another house plant

Day 761 - Today my attempt to kill my captors by weaving around their feet while they were walking almost succeeded must try this at the top of the stairs In an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors I once again induced myself to vomit on their favorite chairmust try on their bed

Day 765 - Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body in attempt to make them aware of what I am capable of and to try to strike fear into their hearts They only cooed and condescended about what a good little cat I wasHmmmm Not working according to plan

Day 768 - I am finally aware of how sadistic they are For no good reason I was chosen for the water torture This time however it included a burning foamy chemical called ldquoshampoordquo What sick minds could invent such a liquid My only consolation is the piece of thumb still stuck between my teeth

Day 774 - I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe snitches The dog is routinely released and seems more than happy to return He is obviously a half-wit

uncontrollably

He continued ldquoWe make passionate love every dayrdquo

I said ldquoThen why are you cryingrdquo

Paradise Village Resident Barb Prior

Osteoporosis is the condition when the bones become increas-

ingly porous leading to the risk of fractures especially of the wrists

hips or spinal vertebrae (stooped posture or dowagers hump)

This condition affects both women and men Approximately 50

of postmenopausal women are at risk and about 20 of men over

the age of 60 years

Bone density begins to reduce for everyone after it peaks in our late

20s By the age of 35 years our bones become gradually weaker

Osteoporosis occurs when there is an imbalance between new

bone formation and old bone re-absorption

Calcium is essential for proper function of the heart brain and other

organs The body re-absorbs calcium that is stored in the bones to

maintain adequate calcium levels in the blood If your calcium

intake is not sufficient bone production and bone tissue may suffer

resulting in weaker brittle bones If this bone loss occurs over an

extended period of many years it can result in serious damage to

bone health

Risk factors that cannot be modified Age

Race (Caucasians and Asians are at greater risk)

Small bone structure

Family history of osteoporosis

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS

Since bone loss is gradual over many years there are no signs or symptoms in the early stages After many years of

bone loss there may be dull pain in the bones and muscles particularly low back pain or neck pain Most people

become aware that they have osteoporosis when they experience a fracture after a minor fall A slip or strain or even

a violent cough or sneeze may result in a fracture

TREATMENT AND PREVENTION

The risk of a fracture can be lowered with lifestyle changes along with dietary andor supplements to prevent bone loss

Women over 50 and men over 70 require 1000-1200mg of calcium a day

Vitamin D - the sunshine vitamin is needed to increase bone mass In this northern climate we do not get enough

from the sun Foods containing Vitamin D include fortified milk egg yolks saltwater fish and liver

The daily recommended dose of Vitamin D for both women and men over the age of 60 years is 800-1200mgday

Quit smoking

Drink alcohol in moderation (Poor nutrition and increased risk of falls are factors here)

Exercise - weight-bearing exercises or simply walking promotes healthy bones and strengthens the muscles to

support our bones and reduces the risk of falls

If you suspect you may be at risk of osteoporosis

consult your doctor for further evaluation and treatment

Risk factors that can be modified Inactivity or immobility

Reduced Calcium and Vitamin D intake

Smoking

Excessive alcohol intake

Eating disorders (anorexia andor bulimia)

Reduced estrogen production

need to be done quite a bit in advance If there is interest the next one would be

2015

Back by popular demand IF there is enough interest

The last two years have been awesome

Folklorama 2015 is requesting confirmation of trips already so I need to know how many people are interested in

attending I do have a list of people who called some time ago and indicated interest but I need quite a few more to make it work We are able to keep the cost the same as last year and anyone who has gone in the past will tell you it is a real bargain

If you would like the opportunity to go to Folklorama without the line-ups hassle of parking enjoy preferential treatment at the pavilions and also get to enjoy both of the Casinos of Winnipeg and stay at the Club Regent Casino Hotel by Canad Inn give Marilyn a call right away (204-326-4939) I will plan for one trip only at this time and only consider both weeks if there is a lot of interest shown As in the past I will need commitments early If you are not sure if you are on my list call The dates I have in mind are Week 1 ndash Tuesday Aug 4th Wednesday August 5th Week 2 ndash Tuesday Aug 11th Wednesday Aug 12th

For those not familiar with the trip I am adding a sample of what the trip is like

Day one - Casino bus pickup at Steinbach 830 am - Ste Anne 840 - Paradise Village 900 am

- Arrive McPhillips Street Station in the morning 1000 am - arrive at Club Regent 230 pm and book in at the Canad Inn

- Early evening - arrive at 1st pavilion for an appetizer drink and show - After the show bus will take us to second pavilion for dinner drink and the show there - Finally our bus will take us to a third pavilion for dessert drink and their performance - When the evening is over our bus will take us back to Canad Inn at Club Regent for our overnight stay Your time is your own to do as you please until check out time the following day

Day two -enjoy Club Regent (or do whatever you wish) before leaving for the trip home at 200 pm Pavilions will be the choice of organizers (because of timing) Early commitment insures better pavilion choice Cost includes bus usual Casino Bus benefits of giveaways bingo etc (not the $1000 given on the free monthly trips) pavilion entrance fees food and drink at the pavilions shows and overnight stay ALL THIS FOR ONLY $8500 per person (based on double occupancy) Singles are welcome too but there is an additional charge of $5000 for hotel room unless you are sharing with someone This fantastic deal is only available through our casino bus and overnight stay is mandatory Offer is open to all you do not need to live in Paradise Village so let your friends know too (must be over 18)

There is no report for this month Larry Trush

So I have found some history on Square Dancing

for your reading pleasure Debbie Kokil Editor

Square dance is a dance for four couples (eight dancers) arranged in a square with one couple on each side facing the middle of the square Square dances were first documented in 17th-century England but were also quite common in France and throughout Europe They came to North America with the European settlers and have undergone considerable development there In some countries and regions through preservation and repetition square dances have attained the status of a folk dance

Traditional square dance which is also called old time square dance Traditional square dance is not standardized and can be subdivided into regional styles The New England and Appalachian styles have been particularly well documented both have survived to the present time There are several other styles some have survived or been revived in recent years some have not Traditional square dance is frequently presented in alternation with contra dances (particularly in revival groups) or with some form of freestyle couple dancing (at surviving local events) One ancestor of New England style square dances is the quadrille and older New England callers occasionally refer to their squares as ldquoquadrillesrdquo Where traditional square dance has been revived it encompasses a wide range of new choreography

Modern Western square dance (MWSD) which is also called Western square dance contemporary Western square dance or modern American square dance Modern Western square dance evolved from the Western style of traditional square dance from about 1940 to 1960 Traditional Western square dancing was promoted beginning in the 1930s by Lloyd Shaw who solicited definitions from callers across the country in order to preserve that dance form and make it available to other teachers Since the 1970s modern Western square dance has been promoted and standardized by Callerlab the International Association of Square Dance Callers Because of this standardization it is possible for anyone with the proper training to enjoy Modern Western square dancing in many countries around the world although instruction is typically given in the local language the calls are always in English Modern Western square dance is sometimes presented in alternation with round dances

My New Exercise Routine

Begin by standing on a comfortable surface where you have plenty of room at each side With a 5-lb potato bag in each hand extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long

as you can Try to reach a full minute and then relax

Each day youll find that you can hold this position for just a bit

longer

After a couple of weeks move up to 10-lb potato bags

Then try 50-lb potato bags and eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb potato bag in each hand and hold your arms

straight for more than a full minute (Im at this level)

After you feel confident at that level put a potato in each bag

High Cholesterol

Cholesterol is a waxy substance thats found in the fats (lipids) in your blood While your body

needs cholesterol to continue building healthy cells having high cholesterol can increase your risk of heart disease

When you have high cholesterol you may develop fatty deposits in your blood vessels Eventually these deposits make it difficult for enough blood to flow through your arteries Your heart may not get as much oxygen-rich blood as it needs which increases the risk of a heart attack Decreased blood flow to your brain can cause a stroke

High cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia) can be inherited but its often the result of unhealthy lifestyle choices and thus preventable and treatable A healthy diet regular exercise and sometimes medication can go a long way toward reducing high cholesterol

High cholesterol has no symptoms A blood test is the only way to detect high cholesterol

When to see a doctor

Ask your doctor for a baseline cholesterol test at age 20 and then have your cholesterol retested at least every five years If your test results arent within desirable ranges your doctor may recommend more frequent measurements Your doctor may also suggest you have more frequent tests if you have a family history of high cholesterol heart disease or other risk factors such as smoking diabetes or high blood pressure

Lifestyle changes are essential to improve your cholesterol level To bring your numbers down lose excess weight eat healthy foods and increase your physical activity If you smoke quit

Lose extra pounds

Excess weight contributes to high cholesterol Losing even 5 to 10 pounds can help lower total cholesterol levels Start by taking an honest look at your eating habits and daily routine Consider your challenges to weight loss mdash and ways to overcome them Set long-term sustainable goals

Eat heart-healthy foods

What you eat has a direct impact on your cholesterol level In fact a diet rich in fiber and other cholesterol-lowering foods may help lower cholesterol as much as statin medication for some people

bullChoose healthier fats Saturated fat and trans fat raise your total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol Get no more than 10 percent of your daily calories from saturated fat Monounsaturated fat mdash found in olive peanut and canola oils mdash is a healthier option Almonds and walnuts are other sources of healthy fat

33

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

bullEliminate trans fats Trans fats which are often found in margarines and commercially baked cookies crackers and snack cakes are particularly bad for your cholesterol levels Not only do trans fats increase your total LDL (bad) cholesterol but they also lower your HDL (good) cholesterol

You may have noticed more food labels now market their products as trans fat-free But dont rely only on this label In the United States if a food contains less than 05 grams of trans fat a serving it can be marked trans fat-free It may not seem like much but if you eat a lot of foods with a small amount of trans fat it can add up quickly Instead read the ingredients list If a food contains a partially hydrogenated oil thats a trans fat and you should look for an alternative

bullLimit your dietary cholesterol Aim for no more than 300 milligrams (mg) of cholesterol a day mdash or less than 200 mg if you have heart disease The most concentrated sources of cholesterol include organ meats egg yolks and whole milk products Use lean cuts of meat egg substitutes and skim milk instead

bullSelect whole grains Various nutrients found in whole grains promote heart health Choose whole-grain breads whole-wheat pasta whole-wheat flour and brown rice Oatmeal and oat bran are other good choices

bullStock up on fruits and vegetables Fruits and vegetables are rich in dietary fiber which can help lower cholesterol Snack on seasonal fruits Experiment with vegetable-based casseroles soups and stir-fries

bullEat heart-healthy fish Some types of fish mdash such as cod tuna and halibut mdash have less total fat saturated fat and cholesterol than do meat and poultry Salmon mackerel and herring are rich in omega-3 fatty acids which help promote heart health

bullDrink alcohol only in moderation Moderate use of alcohol may increase your levels of HDL cholesterol mdash but the benefits arent strong enough to recommend alcohol for anyone who does-nt drink already If you choose to drink do so in moderation This means no more than one drink a day for women and one to two drinks a day for men

Exercise regularly

Regular exercise can help improve your cholesterol levels With your doctors OK work up to 30 to 60 minutes of exercise a day Take a brisk daily walk Ride your bike Swim laps To maintain your motivation keep it fun Find an exercise buddy or join an exercise group And you dont need to get all 30 to 60 minutes in one exercise session If you can squeeze in three to six 10-minute intervals of exercise youll still get some cholesterol-lowering benefits

Dont smoke

If you smoke stop Quitting can improve your HDL cholesterol level And the benefits dont end there Just 20 minutes after quitting your blood pressure decreases Within 24 hours your risk of a heart attack decreases Within one year your risk of heart disease is half that of a smokers Within 15 years your risk of heart disease is similar to that of someone whos never smoked

Four old retired men are walking down a

street in Lakeland Florida

They turn a corner and see a sign that says

Old Timers Bar - ALL drinks 10 cents

They look at each other and then go in thinking this is too good to be true

The old bartender says in a voice that carries across the room

Come on in and let me pour one for you Whatll it be gentlemen

Theres a fully stocked bar so each of the men orders a martini

In no time the bartender serves up four iced martinis shaken not stirred and says

Thatll be 10 cents each please

The four guys stare at the bartender for a moment then at each other

They cant believe their good luck

They pay the 40 cents finish their martinis and order another round

Again four excellent martinis are produced with the bartender again saying

ldquoThatrsquos 40 cents please

They pay the 40 cents but their curiosity gets the better of them

Theyve each had two martinis and havent even spent a dollar yet

Finally one of them says How can you afford to serve martinis as good as these for a dime a piece

Im a retired tailor from Orlando the bartender says and I always wanted to own a bar

Last year I hit the Lottery Jackpot for $125 million and decided to open this place

Every drink costs a dime Wine liquor beer its all the same

Wow Thats some story one of the men says

As the four of them sip at their martinis they cant help noticing seven other people

at the end of the bar who dont have any drinks in front of them and havent ordered

anything the whole time theyve been there

Nodding at the seven at the end of the bar

one of the men asks the Bartender Whats with them

The bartender says ldquoTheyrsquore retired people from CANADA

Theyrsquore waiting for Happy Hour when drinks are half-price

plus they have coupons

According to a news report a certain private Catholic school was recently faced with a unique problem A number of 12-year-old girls were beginning to use lipstick and would put it on in the bathroom That was fine provided it was of a natural or neutral skin tone but after they put on their lipstick they would press their lips to the mirror leaving dozens of little lip prints Every night the custodian would remove them and the next day the girls would put them back Finally the principal Sister Mary decided that something had to be done She called all the girls to the bathroom and met them there with the custodian She explained that all these lip prints were causing a major problem for the custodian who had to clean the mirrors every night (you can just imagine the yawns from the little princesses) To demonstrate how difficult it had been to clean the mirrors Sister Mary asked the custodian to show the girls how much effort was required and how he cleaned off the lipstick marks every night He proceeded to take out a long-handled squeegee dipped it in the toilet bowl and cleaned the mirror with it Since then there have been no lip prints on the mirror

There are teachers

and then there are educators

If Sister Mary ran for office

I would vote for her

Dont mess with a nun

they are holy spirit smart

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

On Saturday the 24th of January I was

wondering what my cat was so intently looking

at through the window when I noticed a vole

slip out from under the snow to retrieve some

bread crumbs that I had thrown out for the birds

It then donned on me that there must be a load

of tunnels under the snow WOW

Voles look like house mice but have a

shorter tail a rounded muzzle and head and

small ears Like all rodents voles have a single

pair of large chisel-like incisors in their upper

jaw that continue to grow as the tips wear away

The vole has a dark brown coat with a greyish

belly that turns white in the winter In contrast

the house mouse is uniformly grey

Voles search for green plants and seeds

during the day or night and in winter they

travel in tunnels beneath the insulating snow

making round holes in the snow when coming

up to the surface I never knew this Nature is

so cool Debbie Kokil - 5 Parkview Drive

February 2014

The month of January 2015 could be said to have multiple personalities

Dave Phillips Senior Climatologist with Environment Canada explains this is because the first two weeks of January saw temperatures around -30 while now they are hovering around the freezing mark Phillips notes its been very different when compared to last years recording breaking winter

Just one statistic to compare is the number of days below -30 This year weve probably had about seven of those suckers and some of them were in November Last year at this time there were 18 of them and some of them were close to -38 or -39 Im not talking about the windchill Im talking about the honest temperature as observed by thermometers

Phillips adds even though its hard to say for

sure in January it appears the threat of a flood

is doubtful Also Phillips notes the models

suggest Spring is going to be better than last

years Spring where temperatures made it feel

like it was still winter

Happy New Years2015 to those of us who still remember dates Last year I joined a support group for procrastinators We havent met yet

I dont trip over things I do random gravity checks Old age is coming at a really bad time

When I was a child I thought Nap Time was a punishment now as a grown up it just feels like a small vacation

The biggest lie I tell myself is I dont need to write that down Ill remember it

Lord grant me the strength to accept the things I cannot change the courage to change the things I can and the friends to post

my bail when I finally snap I dont have gray hair I have wisdom highlights Im just very wise

My people skills are just fine Its my tolerance to idiots that needs work

Teach your daughter how to shoot because a restraining order is just a piece of paper

If God wanted me to touch my toes he wouldve put them on my knees

The kids text me plz which is shorter than please I text back no

which is shorter than yes

Im going to retire and live off of my savings Not sure what Ill do

that second week

Ive lost my mind and Im pretty sure my kids took it Even duct tape

cant fix stupid but it can muffle the sound

Why do I have to press one for English when youre just gonna

transfer me to someone I cant understand anyway

Lord Give me patience and give it to me NOW

Of course I talk to myself sometimes I need expert advice

At my age Getting lucky means walking into a room and remem-

bering what I came in there for

Wouldnt it be great if we could put ourselves in the dryer for ten

minutes come out wrinkle-free and three sizes smaller

Life is too short drink the good wine first

Excerpts from a Catrsquos Diaryhellip

Day 752 - My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects They dine lavishly on fresh meat while I am forced to eat dry cereal The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape and the mild satisfaction I get from ruining the occasional piece of furniture Tomorrow I may eat another house plant

Day 761 - Today my attempt to kill my captors by weaving around their feet while they were walking almost succeeded must try this at the top of the stairs In an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors I once again induced myself to vomit on their favorite chairmust try on their bed

Day 765 - Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body in attempt to make them aware of what I am capable of and to try to strike fear into their hearts They only cooed and condescended about what a good little cat I wasHmmmm Not working according to plan

Day 768 - I am finally aware of how sadistic they are For no good reason I was chosen for the water torture This time however it included a burning foamy chemical called ldquoshampoordquo What sick minds could invent such a liquid My only consolation is the piece of thumb still stuck between my teeth

Day 774 - I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe snitches The dog is routinely released and seems more than happy to return He is obviously a half-wit

Paradise Village Resident Barb Prior

Osteoporosis is the condition when the bones become increas-

ingly porous leading to the risk of fractures especially of the wrists

hips or spinal vertebrae (stooped posture or dowagers hump)

This condition affects both women and men Approximately 50

of postmenopausal women are at risk and about 20 of men over

the age of 60 years

Bone density begins to reduce for everyone after it peaks in our late

20s By the age of 35 years our bones become gradually weaker

Osteoporosis occurs when there is an imbalance between new

bone formation and old bone re-absorption

Calcium is essential for proper function of the heart brain and other

organs The body re-absorbs calcium that is stored in the bones to

maintain adequate calcium levels in the blood If your calcium

intake is not sufficient bone production and bone tissue may suffer

resulting in weaker brittle bones If this bone loss occurs over an

extended period of many years it can result in serious damage to

bone health

Risk factors that cannot be modified Age

Race (Caucasians and Asians are at greater risk)

Small bone structure

Family history of osteoporosis

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS

Since bone loss is gradual over many years there are no signs or symptoms in the early stages After many years of

bone loss there may be dull pain in the bones and muscles particularly low back pain or neck pain Most people

become aware that they have osteoporosis when they experience a fracture after a minor fall A slip or strain or even

a violent cough or sneeze may result in a fracture

TREATMENT AND PREVENTION

The risk of a fracture can be lowered with lifestyle changes along with dietary andor supplements to prevent bone loss

Women over 50 and men over 70 require 1000-1200mg of calcium a day

Vitamin D - the sunshine vitamin is needed to increase bone mass In this northern climate we do not get enough

from the sun Foods containing Vitamin D include fortified milk egg yolks saltwater fish and liver

The daily recommended dose of Vitamin D for both women and men over the age of 60 years is 800-1200mgday

Quit smoking

Drink alcohol in moderation (Poor nutrition and increased risk of falls are factors here)

Exercise - weight-bearing exercises or simply walking promotes healthy bones and strengthens the muscles to

support our bones and reduces the risk of falls

If you suspect you may be at risk of osteoporosis

consult your doctor for further evaluation and treatment

Risk factors that can be modified Inactivity or immobility

Reduced Calcium and Vitamin D intake

Smoking

Excessive alcohol intake

Eating disorders (anorexia andor bulimia)

Reduced estrogen production

Just want to take this opportunity to thank everyone for supporting the two South

Beach trips that have been planned to date We sure have a lot of fun donrsquot we

I would be willing to do this overnight trip every second month if that would be your

wish Let me know if this would interest you as bookings for buses and hotel

need to be done quite a bit in advance If there is interest the next one would be

March 3031

For those not familiar with this trip with the rebates it is pretty much a free trip and a

nice getaway in a lovely hotelhellip Call for details

2015

Back by popular demand IF there is enough interest

The last two years have been awesome

Folklorama 2015 is requesting confirmation of trips already so I need to know how many people are interested in

attending I do have a list of people who called some time ago and indicated interest but I need quite a few more to make it work We are able to keep the cost the same as last year and anyone who has gone in the past will tell you it is a real bargain

If you would like the opportunity to go to Folklorama without the line-ups hassle of parking enjoy preferential treatment at the pavilions and also get to enjoy both of the Casinos of Winnipeg and stay at the Club Regent Casino Hotel by Canad Inn give Marilyn a call right away (204-326-4939) I will plan for one trip only at this time and only consider both weeks if there is a lot of interest shown As in the past I will need commitments early If you are not sure if you are on my list call The dates I have in mind are Week 1 ndash Tuesday Aug 4th Wednesday August 5th Week 2 ndash Tuesday Aug 11th Wednesday Aug 12th

For those not familiar with the trip I am adding a sample of what the trip is like

Day one - Casino bus pickup at Steinbach 830 am - Ste Anne 840 - Paradise Village 900 am

There is no report for this month Larry Trush

So I have found some history on Square Dancing

for your reading pleasure Debbie Kokil Editor

Square dance is a dance for four couples (eight dancers) arranged in a square with one couple on each side facing the middle of the square Square dances were first documented in 17th-century England but were also quite common in France and throughout Europe They came to North America with the European settlers and have undergone considerable development there In some countries and regions through preservation and repetition square dances have attained the status of a folk dance

Traditional square dance which is also called old time square dance Traditional square dance is not standardized and can be subdivided into regional styles The New England and Appalachian styles have been particularly well documented both have survived to the present time There are several other styles some have survived or been revived in recent years some have not Traditional square dance is frequently presented in alternation with contra dances (particularly in revival groups) or with some form of freestyle couple dancing (at surviving local events) One ancestor of New England style square dances is the quadrille and older New England callers occasionally refer to their squares as ldquoquadrillesrdquo Where traditional square dance has been revived it encompasses a wide range of new choreography

Modern Western square dance (MWSD) which is also called Western square dance contemporary Western square dance or modern American square dance Modern Western square dance evolved from the Western style of traditional square dance from about 1940 to 1960 Traditional Western square dancing was promoted beginning in the 1930s by Lloyd Shaw who solicited definitions from callers across the country in order to preserve that dance form and make it available to other teachers Since the 1970s modern Western square dance has been promoted and standardized by Callerlab the International Association of Square Dance Callers Because of this standardization it is possible for anyone with the proper training to enjoy Modern Western square dancing in many countries around the world although instruction is typically given in the local language the calls are always in English Modern Western square dance is sometimes presented in alternation with round dances

My New Exercise Routine

Begin by standing on a comfortable surface where you have plenty of room at each side With a 5-lb potato bag in each hand extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long

as you can Try to reach a full minute and then relax

Each day youll find that you can hold this position for just a bit

longer

After a couple of weeks move up to 10-lb potato bags

Then try 50-lb potato bags and eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb potato bag in each hand and hold your arms

straight for more than a full minute (Im at this level)

After you feel confident at that level put a potato in each bag

High Cholesterol

Cholesterol is a waxy substance thats found in the fats (lipids) in your blood While your body

needs cholesterol to continue building healthy cells having high cholesterol can increase your risk of heart disease

When you have high cholesterol you may develop fatty deposits in your blood vessels Eventually these deposits make it difficult for enough blood to flow through your arteries Your heart may not get as much oxygen-rich blood as it needs which increases the risk of a heart attack Decreased blood flow to your brain can cause a stroke

High cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia) can be inherited but its often the result of unhealthy lifestyle choices and thus preventable and treatable A healthy diet regular exercise and sometimes medication can go a long way toward reducing high cholesterol

High cholesterol has no symptoms A blood test is the only way to detect high cholesterol

When to see a doctor

Ask your doctor for a baseline cholesterol test at age 20 and then have your cholesterol retested at least every five years If your test results arent within desirable ranges your doctor may recommend more frequent measurements Your doctor may also suggest you have more frequent tests if you have a family history of high cholesterol heart disease or other risk factors such as smoking diabetes or high blood pressure

Lifestyle changes are essential to improve your cholesterol level To bring your numbers down lose excess weight eat healthy foods and increase your physical activity If you smoke quit

Lose extra pounds

Excess weight contributes to high cholesterol Losing even 5 to 10 pounds can help lower total cholesterol levels Start by taking an honest look at your eating habits and daily routine Consider your challenges to weight loss mdash and ways to overcome them Set long-term sustainable goals

Eat heart-healthy foods

What you eat has a direct impact on your cholesterol level In fact a diet rich in fiber and other cholesterol-lowering foods may help lower cholesterol as much as statin medication for some people

bullChoose healthier fats Saturated fat and trans fat raise your total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol Get no more than 10 percent of your daily calories from saturated fat Monounsaturated fat mdash found in olive peanut and canola oils mdash is a healthier option Almonds and walnuts are other sources of healthy fat

33

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

bullEliminate trans fats Trans fats which are often found in margarines and commercially baked cookies crackers and snack cakes are particularly bad for your cholesterol levels Not only do trans fats increase your total LDL (bad) cholesterol but they also lower your HDL (good) cholesterol

You may have noticed more food labels now market their products as trans fat-free But dont rely only on this label In the United States if a food contains less than 05 grams of trans fat a serving it can be marked trans fat-free It may not seem like much but if you eat a lot of foods with a small amount of trans fat it can add up quickly Instead read the ingredients list If a food contains a partially hydrogenated oil thats a trans fat and you should look for an alternative

bullLimit your dietary cholesterol Aim for no more than 300 milligrams (mg) of cholesterol a day mdash or less than 200 mg if you have heart disease The most concentrated sources of cholesterol include organ meats egg yolks and whole milk products Use lean cuts of meat egg substitutes and skim milk instead

bullSelect whole grains Various nutrients found in whole grains promote heart health Choose whole-grain breads whole-wheat pasta whole-wheat flour and brown rice Oatmeal and oat bran are other good choices

bullStock up on fruits and vegetables Fruits and vegetables are rich in dietary fiber which can help lower cholesterol Snack on seasonal fruits Experiment with vegetable-based casseroles soups and stir-fries

bullEat heart-healthy fish Some types of fish mdash such as cod tuna and halibut mdash have less total fat saturated fat and cholesterol than do meat and poultry Salmon mackerel and herring are rich in omega-3 fatty acids which help promote heart health

bullDrink alcohol only in moderation Moderate use of alcohol may increase your levels of HDL cholesterol mdash but the benefits arent strong enough to recommend alcohol for anyone who does-nt drink already If you choose to drink do so in moderation This means no more than one drink a day for women and one to two drinks a day for men

Exercise regularly

Regular exercise can help improve your cholesterol levels With your doctors OK work up to 30 to 60 minutes of exercise a day Take a brisk daily walk Ride your bike Swim laps To maintain your motivation keep it fun Find an exercise buddy or join an exercise group And you dont need to get all 30 to 60 minutes in one exercise session If you can squeeze in three to six 10-minute intervals of exercise youll still get some cholesterol-lowering benefits

Dont smoke

If you smoke stop Quitting can improve your HDL cholesterol level And the benefits dont end there Just 20 minutes after quitting your blood pressure decreases Within 24 hours your risk of a heart attack decreases Within one year your risk of heart disease is half that of a smokers Within 15 years your risk of heart disease is similar to that of someone whos never smoked

Four old retired men are walking down a

street in Lakeland Florida

They turn a corner and see a sign that says

Old Timers Bar - ALL drinks 10 cents

They look at each other and then go in thinking this is too good to be true

The old bartender says in a voice that carries across the room

Come on in and let me pour one for you Whatll it be gentlemen

Theres a fully stocked bar so each of the men orders a martini

In no time the bartender serves up four iced martinis shaken not stirred and says

Thatll be 10 cents each please

The four guys stare at the bartender for a moment then at each other

They cant believe their good luck

They pay the 40 cents finish their martinis and order another round

Again four excellent martinis are produced with the bartender again saying

ldquoThatrsquos 40 cents please

They pay the 40 cents but their curiosity gets the better of them

Theyve each had two martinis and havent even spent a dollar yet

Finally one of them says How can you afford to serve martinis as good as these for a dime a piece

Im a retired tailor from Orlando the bartender says and I always wanted to own a bar

Last year I hit the Lottery Jackpot for $125 million and decided to open this place

Every drink costs a dime Wine liquor beer its all the same

Wow Thats some story one of the men says

As the four of them sip at their martinis they cant help noticing seven other people

at the end of the bar who dont have any drinks in front of them and havent ordered

anything the whole time theyve been there

Nodding at the seven at the end of the bar

one of the men asks the Bartender Whats with them

The bartender says ldquoTheyrsquore retired people from CANADA

Theyrsquore waiting for Happy Hour when drinks are half-price

plus they have coupons

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

On Saturday the 24th of January I was

wondering what my cat was so intently looking

at through the window when I noticed a vole

slip out from under the snow to retrieve some

bread crumbs that I had thrown out for the birds

It then donned on me that there must be a load

of tunnels under the snow WOW

Voles look like house mice but have a

shorter tail a rounded muzzle and head and

small ears Like all rodents voles have a single

pair of large chisel-like incisors in their upper

jaw that continue to grow as the tips wear away

The vole has a dark brown coat with a greyish

belly that turns white in the winter In contrast

the house mouse is uniformly grey

Voles search for green plants and seeds

during the day or night and in winter they

travel in tunnels beneath the insulating snow

making round holes in the snow when coming

up to the surface I never knew this Nature is

so cool Debbie Kokil - 5 Parkview Drive

February 2014

The month of January 2015 could be said to have multiple personalities

Dave Phillips Senior Climatologist with Environment Canada explains this is because the first two weeks of January saw temperatures around -30 while now they are hovering around the freezing mark Phillips notes its been very different when compared to last years recording breaking winter

Just one statistic to compare is the number of days below -30 This year weve probably had about seven of those suckers and some of them were in November Last year at this time there were 18 of them and some of them were close to -38 or -39 Im not talking about the windchill Im talking about the honest temperature as observed by thermometers

Phillips adds even though its hard to say for

sure in January it appears the threat of a flood

is doubtful Also Phillips notes the models

suggest Spring is going to be better than last

years Spring where temperatures made it feel

like it was still winter

Happy New Years2015 to those of us who still remember dates Last year I joined a support group for procrastinators We havent met yet

I dont trip over things I do random gravity checks Old age is coming at a really bad time

When I was a child I thought Nap Time was a punishment now as a grown up it just feels like a small vacation

The biggest lie I tell myself is I dont need to write that down Ill remember it

Lord grant me the strength to accept the things I cannot change the courage to change the things I can and the friends to post

my bail when I finally snap I dont have gray hair I have wisdom highlights Im just very wise

My people skills are just fine Its my tolerance to idiots that needs work

Teach your daughter how to shoot because a restraining order is just a piece of paper

If God wanted me to touch my toes he wouldve put them on my knees

The kids text me plz which is shorter than please I text back no

which is shorter than yes

Im going to retire and live off of my savings Not sure what Ill do

that second week

Ive lost my mind and Im pretty sure my kids took it Even duct tape

cant fix stupid but it can muffle the sound

Why do I have to press one for English when youre just gonna

transfer me to someone I cant understand anyway

Lord Give me patience and give it to me NOW

Of course I talk to myself sometimes I need expert advice

At my age Getting lucky means walking into a room and remem-

bering what I came in there for

Wouldnt it be great if we could put ourselves in the dryer for ten

minutes come out wrinkle-free and three sizes smaller

Life is too short drink the good wine first

Excerpts from a Catrsquos Diaryhellip

Day 752 - My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects They dine lavishly on fresh meat while I am forced to eat dry cereal The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape and the mild satisfaction I get from ruining the occasional piece of furniture Tomorrow I may eat another house plant

Day 761 - Today my attempt to kill my captors by weaving around their feet while they were walking almost succeeded must try this at the top of the stairs In an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors I once again induced myself to vomit on their favorite chairmust try on their bed

Day 765 - Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body in attempt to make them aware of what I am capable of and to try to strike fear into their hearts They only cooed and condescended about what a good little cat I wasHmmmm Not working according to plan

Day 768 - I am finally aware of how sadistic they are For no good reason I was chosen for the water torture This time however it included a burning foamy chemical called ldquoshampoordquo What sick minds could invent such a liquid My only consolation is the piece of thumb still stuck between my teeth

Day 774 - I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe snitches The dog is routinely released and seems more than happy to return He is obviously a half-wit

uncontrollably

He continued ldquoWe make passionate love every dayrdquo

I said ldquoThen why are you cryingrdquo

Submitted by

Paradise Village Resident Barb Prior

Osteoporosis is the condition when the bones become increas-

ingly porous leading to the risk of fractures especially of the wrists

hips or spinal vertebrae (stooped posture or dowagers hump)

This condition affects both women and men Approximately 50

of postmenopausal women are at risk and about 20 of men over

the age of 60 years

Bone density begins to reduce for everyone after it peaks in our late

20s By the age of 35 years our bones become gradually weaker

Osteoporosis occurs when there is an imbalance between new

bone formation and old bone re-absorption

Calcium is essential for proper function of the heart brain and other

organs The body re-absorbs calcium that is stored in the bones to

maintain adequate calcium levels in the blood If your calcium

intake is not sufficient bone production and bone tissue may suffer

resulting in weaker brittle bones If this bone loss occurs over an

extended period of many years it can result in serious damage to

bone health

Risk factors that cannot be modified Age

Race (Caucasians and Asians are at greater risk)

Small bone structure

Family history of osteoporosis

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS

Since bone loss is gradual over many years there are no signs or symptoms in the early stages After many years of

bone loss there may be dull pain in the bones and muscles particularly low back pain or neck pain Most people

become aware that they have osteoporosis when they experience a fracture after a minor fall A slip or strain or even

a violent cough or sneeze may result in a fracture

TREATMENT AND PREVENTION

The risk of a fracture can be lowered with lifestyle changes along with dietary andor supplements to prevent bone loss

Women over 50 and men over 70 require 1000-1200mg of calcium a day

Vitamin D - the sunshine vitamin is needed to increase bone mass In this northern climate we do not get enough

from the sun Foods containing Vitamin D include fortified milk egg yolks saltwater fish and liver

The daily recommended dose of Vitamin D for both women and men over the age of 60 years is 800-1200mgday

Quit smoking

Drink alcohol in moderation (Poor nutrition and increased risk of falls are factors here)

Exercise - weight-bearing exercises or simply walking promotes healthy bones and strengthens the muscles to

support our bones and reduces the risk of falls

If you suspect you may be at risk of osteoporosis

consult your doctor for further evaluation and treatment

Risk factors that can be modified Inactivity or immobility

Reduced Calcium and Vitamin D intake

Smoking

Excessive alcohol intake

Eating disorders (anorexia andor bulimia)

Reduced estrogen production

Just want to take this opportunity to thank everyone for supporting the two South

Beach trips that have been planned to date We sure have a lot of fun donrsquot we

I would be willing to do this overnight trip every second month if that would be your

wish Let me know if this would interest you as bookings for buses and hotel

need to be done quite a bit in advance If there is interest the next one would be

March 3031

For those not familiar with this trip with the rebates it is pretty much a free trip and a

nice getaway in a lovely hotelhellip Call for details

Back by popular demand IF there is enough interest

The last two years have been awesome

Folklorama 2015 is requesting confirmation of trips already so I need to know how many people are interested in

attending I do have a list of people who called some time ago and indicated interest but I need quite a few more to make it work We are able to keep the cost the same as last year and anyone who has gone in the past will tell you it is a real bargain

If you would like the opportunity to go to Folklorama without the line-ups hassle of parking enjoy preferential treatment at the pavilions and also get to enjoy both of the Casinos of Winnipeg and stay at the Club Regent Casino Hotel by Canad Inn give Marilyn a call right away (204-326-4939) I will plan for one trip only at this time and only consider both weeks if there is a lot of interest shown As in the past I will need commitments early If you are not sure if you are on my list call The dates I have in mind are Week 1 ndash Tuesday Aug 4th Wednesday August 5th Week 2 ndash Tuesday Aug 11th Wednesday Aug 12th

For those not familiar with the trip I am adding a sample of what the trip is like

Day one - Casino bus pickup at Steinbach 830 am - Ste Anne 840 - Paradise Village 900 am

- Arrive McPhillips Street Station in the morning 1000 am - arrive at Club Regent 230 pm and book in at the Canad Inn

- Early evening - arrive at 1st pavilion for an appetizer drink and show - After the show bus will take us to second pavilion for dinner drink and the show there - Finally our bus will take us to a third pavilion for dessert drink and their performance - When the evening is over our bus will take us back to Canad Inn at Club Regent for our overnight stay Your time is your own to do as you please until check out time the following day

Day two -enjoy Club Regent (or do whatever you wish) before leaving for the trip home at 200 pm Pavilions will be the choice of organizers (because of timing) Early commitment insures better pavilion choice Cost includes bus usual Casino Bus benefits of giveaways bingo etc (not the $1000 given on the free monthly trips) pavilion entrance fees food and drink at the pavilions shows and overnight stay ALL THIS FOR ONLY $8500 per person (based on double occupancy) Singles are welcome too but there is an additional charge of $5000 for hotel room unless you are sharing with someone This fantastic deal is only available through our casino bus and overnight stay is mandatory Offer is open to all you do not need to live in Paradise Village so let your friends know too (must be over 18)

There is no report for this month Larry Trush

So I have found some history on Square Dancing

for your reading pleasure Debbie Kokil Editor

Square dance is a dance for four couples (eight dancers) arranged in a square with one couple on each side facing the middle of the square Square dances were first documented in 17th-century England but were also quite common in France and throughout Europe They came to North America with the European settlers and have undergone considerable development there In some countries and regions through preservation and repetition square dances have attained the status of a folk dance

Traditional square dance which is also called old time square dance Traditional square dance is not standardized and can be subdivided into regional styles The New England and Appalachian styles have been particularly well documented both have survived to the present time There are several other styles some have survived or been revived in recent years some have not Traditional square dance is frequently presented in alternation with contra dances (particularly in revival groups) or with some form of freestyle couple dancing (at surviving local events) One ancestor of New England style square dances is the quadrille and older New England callers occasionally refer to their squares as ldquoquadrillesrdquo Where traditional square dance has been revived it encompasses a wide range of new choreography

Modern Western square dance (MWSD) which is also called Western square dance contemporary Western square dance or modern American square dance Modern Western square dance evolved from the Western style of traditional square dance from about 1940 to 1960 Traditional Western square dancing was promoted beginning in the 1930s by Lloyd Shaw who solicited definitions from callers across the country in order to preserve that dance form and make it available to other teachers Since the 1970s modern Western square dance has been promoted and standardized by Callerlab the International Association of Square Dance Callers Because of this standardization it is possible for anyone with the proper training to enjoy Modern Western square dancing in many countries around the world although instruction is typically given in the local language the calls are always in English Modern Western square dance is sometimes presented in alternation with round dances

ENCOURAGING WORDS

FOR FAMILY AND FRIENDS

Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs that it may benefit those who listen Ephesians 429

Many people with whom we come in contact with everyday are in desperate need of a smile or an encouraging word

Our world is a difficult place Friends and family may be troubled by challenges of everyday life

Because we dont know who needs our help it is best to try to encourage all the people we come in contact with

My New Exercise Routine

Begin by standing on a comfortable surface where you have plenty of room at each side With a 5-lb potato bag in each hand extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long

as you can Try to reach a full minute and then relax

Each day youll find that you can hold this position for just a bit

longer

After a couple of weeks move up to 10-lb potato bags

Then try 50-lb potato bags and eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb potato bag in each hand and hold your arms

straight for more than a full minute (Im at this level)

After you feel confident at that level put a potato in each bag

High Cholesterol

Cholesterol is a waxy substance thats found in the fats (lipids) in your blood While your body

needs cholesterol to continue building healthy cells having high cholesterol can increase your risk of heart disease

When you have high cholesterol you may develop fatty deposits in your blood vessels Eventually these deposits make it difficult for enough blood to flow through your arteries Your heart may not get as much oxygen-rich blood as it needs which increases the risk of a heart attack Decreased blood flow to your brain can cause a stroke

High cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia) can be inherited but its often the result of unhealthy lifestyle choices and thus preventable and treatable A healthy diet regular exercise and sometimes medication can go a long way toward reducing high cholesterol

High cholesterol has no symptoms A blood test is the only way to detect high cholesterol

When to see a doctor

Ask your doctor for a baseline cholesterol test at age 20 and then have your cholesterol retested at least every five years If your test results arent within desirable ranges your doctor may recommend more frequent measurements Your doctor may also suggest you have more frequent tests if you have a family history of high cholesterol heart disease or other risk factors such as smoking diabetes or high blood pressure

Lifestyle changes are essential to improve your cholesterol level To bring your numbers down lose excess weight eat healthy foods and increase your physical activity If you smoke quit

Lose extra pounds

Excess weight contributes to high cholesterol Losing even 5 to 10 pounds can help lower total cholesterol levels Start by taking an honest look at your eating habits and daily routine Consider your challenges to weight loss mdash and ways to overcome them Set long-term sustainable goals

Eat heart-healthy foods

What you eat has a direct impact on your cholesterol level In fact a diet rich in fiber and other cholesterol-lowering foods may help lower cholesterol as much as statin medication for some people

bullChoose healthier fats Saturated fat and trans fat raise your total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol Get no more than 10 percent of your daily calories from saturated fat Monounsaturated fat mdash found in olive peanut and canola oils mdash is a healthier option Almonds and walnuts are other sources of healthy fat

33

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

bullEliminate trans fats Trans fats which are often found in margarines and commercially baked cookies crackers and snack cakes are particularly bad for your cholesterol levels Not only do trans fats increase your total LDL (bad) cholesterol but they also lower your HDL (good) cholesterol

You may have noticed more food labels now market their products as trans fat-free But dont rely only on this label In the United States if a food contains less than 05 grams of trans fat a serving it can be marked trans fat-free It may not seem like much but if you eat a lot of foods with a small amount of trans fat it can add up quickly Instead read the ingredients list If a food contains a partially hydrogenated oil thats a trans fat and you should look for an alternative

bullLimit your dietary cholesterol Aim for no more than 300 milligrams (mg) of cholesterol a day mdash or less than 200 mg if you have heart disease The most concentrated sources of cholesterol include organ meats egg yolks and whole milk products Use lean cuts of meat egg substitutes and skim milk instead

bullSelect whole grains Various nutrients found in whole grains promote heart health Choose whole-grain breads whole-wheat pasta whole-wheat flour and brown rice Oatmeal and oat bran are other good choices

bullStock up on fruits and vegetables Fruits and vegetables are rich in dietary fiber which can help lower cholesterol Snack on seasonal fruits Experiment with vegetable-based casseroles soups and stir-fries

bullEat heart-healthy fish Some types of fish mdash such as cod tuna and halibut mdash have less total fat saturated fat and cholesterol than do meat and poultry Salmon mackerel and herring are rich in omega-3 fatty acids which help promote heart health

bullDrink alcohol only in moderation Moderate use of alcohol may increase your levels of HDL cholesterol mdash but the benefits arent strong enough to recommend alcohol for anyone who does-nt drink already If you choose to drink do so in moderation This means no more than one drink a day for women and one to two drinks a day for men

Exercise regularly

Regular exercise can help improve your cholesterol levels With your doctors OK work up to 30 to 60 minutes of exercise a day Take a brisk daily walk Ride your bike Swim laps To maintain your motivation keep it fun Find an exercise buddy or join an exercise group And you dont need to get all 30 to 60 minutes in one exercise session If you can squeeze in three to six 10-minute intervals of exercise youll still get some cholesterol-lowering benefits

Dont smoke

If you smoke stop Quitting can improve your HDL cholesterol level And the benefits dont end there Just 20 minutes after quitting your blood pressure decreases Within 24 hours your risk of a heart attack decreases Within one year your risk of heart disease is half that of a smokers Within 15 years your risk of heart disease is similar to that of someone whos never smoked

Four old retired men are walking down a

street in Lakeland Florida

They turn a corner and see a sign that says

Old Timers Bar - ALL drinks 10 cents

They look at each other and then go in thinking this is too good to be true

The old bartender says in a voice that carries across the room

Come on in and let me pour one for you Whatll it be gentlemen

Theres a fully stocked bar so each of the men orders a martini

In no time the bartender serves up four iced martinis shaken not stirred and says

Thatll be 10 cents each please

The four guys stare at the bartender for a moment then at each other

They cant believe their good luck

They pay the 40 cents finish their martinis and order another round

Again four excellent martinis are produced with the bartender again saying

ldquoThatrsquos 40 cents please

They pay the 40 cents but their curiosity gets the better of them

Theyve each had two martinis and havent even spent a dollar yet

Finally one of them says How can you afford to serve martinis as good as these for a dime a piece

Im a retired tailor from Orlando the bartender says and I always wanted to own a bar

Last year I hit the Lottery Jackpot for $125 million and decided to open this place

Every drink costs a dime Wine liquor beer its all the same

Wow Thats some story one of the men says

As the four of them sip at their martinis they cant help noticing seven other people

at the end of the bar who dont have any drinks in front of them and havent ordered

anything the whole time theyve been there

Nodding at the seven at the end of the bar

one of the men asks the Bartender Whats with them

The bartender says ldquoTheyrsquore retired people from CANADA

Theyrsquore waiting for Happy Hour when drinks are half-price

plus they have coupons

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

On Saturday the 24th of January I was

wondering what my cat was so intently looking

at through the window when I noticed a vole

slip out from under the snow to retrieve some

bread crumbs that I had thrown out for the birds

It then donned on me that there must be a load

of tunnels under the snow WOW

Voles look like house mice but have a

shorter tail a rounded muzzle and head and

small ears Like all rodents voles have a single

pair of large chisel-like incisors in their upper

jaw that continue to grow as the tips wear away

The vole has a dark brown coat with a greyish

belly that turns white in the winter In contrast

the house mouse is uniformly grey

Voles search for green plants and seeds

during the day or night and in winter they

travel in tunnels beneath the insulating snow

making round holes in the snow when coming

up to the surface I never knew this Nature is

so cool Debbie Kokil - 5 Parkview Drive

February 2014

The month of January 2015 could be said to have multiple personalities

Dave Phillips Senior Climatologist with Environment Canada explains this is because the first two weeks of January saw temperatures around -30 while now they are hovering around the freezing mark Phillips notes its been very different when compared to last years recording breaking winter

Just one statistic to compare is the number of days below -30 This year weve probably had about seven of those suckers and some of them were in November Last year at this time there were 18 of them and some of them were close to -38 or -39 Im not talking about the windchill Im talking about the honest temperature as observed by thermometers

Phillips adds even though its hard to say for

sure in January it appears the threat of a flood

is doubtful Also Phillips notes the models

suggest Spring is going to be better than last

years Spring where temperatures made it feel

like it was still winter

February 2015

Happy New Years2015 to those of us who still remember dates Last year I joined a support group for procrastinators We havent met yet

I dont trip over things I do random gravity checks Old age is coming at a really bad time

When I was a child I thought Nap Time was a punishment now as a grown up it just feels like a small vacation

The biggest lie I tell myself is I dont need to write that down Ill remember it

Lord grant me the strength to accept the things I cannot change the courage to change the things I can and the friends to post

my bail when I finally snap I dont have gray hair I have wisdom highlights Im just very wise

My people skills are just fine Its my tolerance to idiots that needs work

Teach your daughter how to shoot because a restraining order is just a piece of paper

If God wanted me to touch my toes he wouldve put them on my knees

The kids text me plz which is shorter than please I text back no

which is shorter than yes

Im going to retire and live off of my savings Not sure what Ill do

that second week

Ive lost my mind and Im pretty sure my kids took it Even duct tape

cant fix stupid but it can muffle the sound

Why do I have to press one for English when youre just gonna

transfer me to someone I cant understand anyway

Lord Give me patience and give it to me NOW

Of course I talk to myself sometimes I need expert advice

At my age Getting lucky means walking into a room and remem-

bering what I came in there for

Wouldnt it be great if we could put ourselves in the dryer for ten

minutes come out wrinkle-free and three sizes smaller

Life is too short drink the good wine first

Excerpts from a Catrsquos Diaryhellip

Day 752 - My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects They dine lavishly on fresh meat while I am forced to eat dry cereal The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape and the mild satisfaction I get from ruining the occasional piece of furniture Tomorrow I may eat another house plant

Day 761 - Today my attempt to kill my captors by weaving around their feet while they were walking almost succeeded must try this at the top of the stairs In an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors I once again induced myself to vomit on their favorite chairmust try on their bed

Day 765 - Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body in attempt to make them aware of what I am capable of and to try to strike fear into their hearts They only cooed and condescended about what a good little cat I wasHmmmm Not working according to plan

Day 768 - I am finally aware of how sadistic they are For no good reason I was chosen for the water torture This time however it included a burning foamy chemical called ldquoshampoordquo What sick minds could invent such a liquid My only consolation is the piece of thumb still stuck between my teeth

Day 774 - I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe snitches The dog is routinely released and seems more than happy to return He is obviously a half-wit

Submitted by

Paradise Village Resident Barb Prior

Osteoporosis is the condition when the bones become increas-

ingly porous leading to the risk of fractures especially of the wrists

hips or spinal vertebrae (stooped posture or dowagers hump)

This condition affects both women and men Approximately 50

of postmenopausal women are at risk and about 20 of men over

the age of 60 years

Bone density begins to reduce for everyone after it peaks in our late

20s By the age of 35 years our bones become gradually weaker

Osteoporosis occurs when there is an imbalance between new

bone formation and old bone re-absorption

Calcium is essential for proper function of the heart brain and other

organs The body re-absorbs calcium that is stored in the bones to

maintain adequate calcium levels in the blood If your calcium

intake is not sufficient bone production and bone tissue may suffer

resulting in weaker brittle bones If this bone loss occurs over an

extended period of many years it can result in serious damage to

bone health

Risk factors that cannot be modified Age

Race (Caucasians and Asians are at greater risk)

Small bone structure

Family history of osteoporosis

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS

Since bone loss is gradual over many years there are no signs or symptoms in the early stages After many years of

bone loss there may be dull pain in the bones and muscles particularly low back pain or neck pain Most people

become aware that they have osteoporosis when they experience a fracture after a minor fall A slip or strain or even

a violent cough or sneeze may result in a fracture

TREATMENT AND PREVENTION

The risk of a fracture can be lowered with lifestyle changes along with dietary andor supplements to prevent bone loss

Women over 50 and men over 70 require 1000-1200mg of calcium a day

Vitamin D - the sunshine vitamin is needed to increase bone mass In this northern climate we do not get enough

from the sun Foods containing Vitamin D include fortified milk egg yolks saltwater fish and liver

The daily recommended dose of Vitamin D for both women and men over the age of 60 years is 800-1200mgday

Quit smoking

Drink alcohol in moderation (Poor nutrition and increased risk of falls are factors here)

Exercise - weight-bearing exercises or simply walking promotes healthy bones and strengthens the muscles to

support our bones and reduces the risk of falls

If you suspect you may be at risk of osteoporosis

consult your doctor for further evaluation and treatment

Risk factors that can be modified Inactivity or immobility

Reduced Calcium and Vitamin D intake

Smoking

Excessive alcohol intake

Eating disorders (anorexia andor bulimia)

Reduced estrogen production

Beach trips that have been planned to date We sure have a lot of fun donrsquot we

Back by popular demand IF there is enough interest

The last two years have been awesome

Folklorama 2015 is requesting confirmation of trips already so I need to know how many people are interested in

attending I do have a list of people who called some time ago and indicated interest but I need quite a few more to make it work We are able to keep the cost the same as last year and anyone who has gone in the past will tell you it is a real bargain

If you would like the opportunity to go to Folklorama without the line-ups hassle of parking enjoy preferential treatment at the pavilions and also get to enjoy both of the Casinos of Winnipeg and stay at the Club Regent Casino Hotel by Canad Inn give Marilyn a call right away (204-326-4939) I will plan for one trip only at this time and only consider both weeks if there is a lot of interest shown As in the past I will need commitments early If you are not sure if you are on my list call The dates I have in mind are Week 1 ndash Tuesday Aug 4th Wednesday August 5th Week 2 ndash Tuesday Aug 11th Wednesday Aug 12th

For those not familiar with the trip I am adding a sample of what the trip is like

Day one - Casino bus pickup at Steinbach 830 am - Ste Anne 840 - Paradise Village 900 am

- Arrive McPhillips Street Station in the morning 1000 am - arrive at Club Regent 230 pm and book in at the Canad Inn

- Early evening - arrive at 1st pavilion for an appetizer drink and show - After the show bus will take us to second pavilion for dinner drink and the show there - Finally our bus will take us to a third pavilion for dessert drink and their performance - When the evening is over our bus will take us back to Canad Inn at Club Regent for our overnight stay Your time is your own to do as you please until check out time the following day

Day two -enjoy Club Regent (or do whatever you wish) before leaving for the trip home at 200 pm Pavilions will be the choice of organizers (because of timing) Early commitment insures better pavilion choice Cost includes bus usual Casino Bus benefits of giveaways bingo etc (not the $1000 given on the free monthly trips) pavilion entrance fees food and drink at the pavilions shows and overnight stay ALL THIS FOR ONLY $8500 per person (based on double occupancy) Singles are welcome too but there is an additional charge of $5000 for hotel room unless you are sharing with someone This fantastic deal is only available through our casino bus and overnight stay is mandatory Offer is open to all you do not need to live in Paradise Village so let your friends know too (must be over 18)

There is no report for this month Larry Trush

So I have found some history on Square Dancing

for your reading pleasure Debbie Kokil Editor

Square dance is a dance for four couples (eight dancers) arranged in a square with one couple on each side facing the middle of the square Square dances were first documented in 17th-century England but were also quite common in France and throughout Europe They came to North America with the European settlers and have undergone considerable development there In some countries and regions through preservation and repetition square dances have attained the status of a folk dance

Traditional square dance which is also called old time square dance Traditional square dance is not standardized and can be subdivided into regional styles The New England and Appalachian styles have been particularly well documented both have survived to the present time There are several other styles some have survived or been revived in recent years some have not Traditional square dance is frequently presented in alternation with contra dances (particularly in revival groups) or with some form of freestyle couple dancing (at surviving local events) One ancestor of New England style square dances is the quadrille and older New England callers occasionally refer to their squares as ldquoquadrillesrdquo Where traditional square dance has been revived it encompasses a wide range of new choreography

Modern Western square dance (MWSD) which is also called Western square dance contemporary Western square dance or modern American square dance Modern Western square dance evolved from the Western style of traditional square dance from about 1940 to 1960 Traditional Western square dancing was promoted beginning in the 1930s by Lloyd Shaw who solicited definitions from callers across the country in order to preserve that dance form and make it available to other teachers Since the 1970s modern Western square dance has been promoted and standardized by Callerlab the International Association of Square Dance Callers Because of this standardization it is possible for anyone with the proper training to enjoy Modern Western square dancing in many countries around the world although instruction is typically given in the local language the calls are always in English Modern Western square dance is sometimes presented in alternation with round dances

My New Exercise Routine

Begin by standing on a comfortable surface where you have plenty of room at each side With a 5-lb potato bag in each hand extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long

as you can Try to reach a full minute and then relax

Each day youll find that you can hold this position for just a bit

longer

After a couple of weeks move up to 10-lb potato bags

Then try 50-lb potato bags and eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb potato bag in each hand and hold your arms

straight for more than a full minute (Im at this level)

After you feel confident at that level put a potato in each bag

High Cholesterol

Cholesterol is a waxy substance thats found in the fats (lipids) in your blood While your body

needs cholesterol to continue building healthy cells having high cholesterol can increase your risk of heart disease

When you have high cholesterol you may develop fatty deposits in your blood vessels Eventually these deposits make it difficult for enough blood to flow through your arteries Your heart may not get as much oxygen-rich blood as it needs which increases the risk of a heart attack Decreased blood flow to your brain can cause a stroke

High cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia) can be inherited but its often the result of unhealthy lifestyle choices and thus preventable and treatable A healthy diet regular exercise and sometimes medication can go a long way toward reducing high cholesterol

High cholesterol has no symptoms A blood test is the only way to detect high cholesterol

When to see a doctor

Ask your doctor for a baseline cholesterol test at age 20 and then have your cholesterol retested at least every five years If your test results arent within desirable ranges your doctor may recommend more frequent measurements Your doctor may also suggest you have more frequent tests if you have a family history of high cholesterol heart disease or other risk factors such as smoking diabetes or high blood pressure

Lifestyle changes are essential to improve your cholesterol level To bring your numbers down lose excess weight eat healthy foods and increase your physical activity If you smoke quit

Lose extra pounds

Excess weight contributes to high cholesterol Losing even 5 to 10 pounds can help lower total cholesterol levels Start by taking an honest look at your eating habits and daily routine Consider your challenges to weight loss mdash and ways to overcome them Set long-term sustainable goals

Eat heart-healthy foods

What you eat has a direct impact on your cholesterol level In fact a diet rich in fiber and other cholesterol-lowering foods may help lower cholesterol as much as statin medication for some people

bullChoose healthier fats Saturated fat and trans fat raise your total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol Get no more than 10 percent of your daily calories from saturated fat Monounsaturated fat mdash found in olive peanut and canola oils mdash is a healthier option Almonds and walnuts are other sources of healthy fat

33

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

bullEliminate trans fats Trans fats which are often found in margarines and commercially baked cookies crackers and snack cakes are particularly bad for your cholesterol levels Not only do trans fats increase your total LDL (bad) cholesterol but they also lower your HDL (good) cholesterol

You may have noticed more food labels now market their products as trans fat-free But dont rely only on this label In the United States if a food contains less than 05 grams of trans fat a serving it can be marked trans fat-free It may not seem like much but if you eat a lot of foods with a small amount of trans fat it can add up quickly Instead read the ingredients list If a food contains a partially hydrogenated oil thats a trans fat and you should look for an alternative

bullLimit your dietary cholesterol Aim for no more than 300 milligrams (mg) of cholesterol a day mdash or less than 200 mg if you have heart disease The most concentrated sources of cholesterol include organ meats egg yolks and whole milk products Use lean cuts of meat egg substitutes and skim milk instead

bullSelect whole grains Various nutrients found in whole grains promote heart health Choose whole-grain breads whole-wheat pasta whole-wheat flour and brown rice Oatmeal and oat bran are other good choices

bullStock up on fruits and vegetables Fruits and vegetables are rich in dietary fiber which can help lower cholesterol Snack on seasonal fruits Experiment with vegetable-based casseroles soups and stir-fries

bullEat heart-healthy fish Some types of fish mdash such as cod tuna and halibut mdash have less total fat saturated fat and cholesterol than do meat and poultry Salmon mackerel and herring are rich in omega-3 fatty acids which help promote heart health

bullDrink alcohol only in moderation Moderate use of alcohol may increase your levels of HDL cholesterol mdash but the benefits arent strong enough to recommend alcohol for anyone who does-nt drink already If you choose to drink do so in moderation This means no more than one drink a day for women and one to two drinks a day for men

Exercise regularly

Regular exercise can help improve your cholesterol levels With your doctors OK work up to 30 to 60 minutes of exercise a day Take a brisk daily walk Ride your bike Swim laps To maintain your motivation keep it fun Find an exercise buddy or join an exercise group And you dont need to get all 30 to 60 minutes in one exercise session If you can squeeze in three to six 10-minute intervals of exercise youll still get some cholesterol-lowering benefits

Dont smoke

If you smoke stop Quitting can improve your HDL cholesterol level And the benefits dont end there Just 20 minutes after quitting your blood pressure decreases Within 24 hours your risk of a heart attack decreases Within one year your risk of heart disease is half that of a smokers Within 15 years your risk of heart disease is similar to that of someone whos never smoked

Four old retired men are walking down a

street in Lakeland Florida

They turn a corner and see a sign that says

Old Timers Bar - ALL drinks 10 cents

They look at each other and then go in thinking this is too good to be true

The old bartender says in a voice that carries across the room

Come on in and let me pour one for you Whatll it be gentlemen

Theres a fully stocked bar so each of the men orders a martini

In no time the bartender serves up four iced martinis shaken not stirred and says

Thatll be 10 cents each please

The four guys stare at the bartender for a moment then at each other

They cant believe their good luck

They pay the 40 cents finish their martinis and order another round

Again four excellent martinis are produced with the bartender again saying

ldquoThatrsquos 40 cents please

They pay the 40 cents but their curiosity gets the better of them

Theyve each had two martinis and havent even spent a dollar yet

Finally one of them says How can you afford to serve martinis as good as these for a dime a piece

Im a retired tailor from Orlando the bartender says and I always wanted to own a bar

Last year I hit the Lottery Jackpot for $125 million and decided to open this place

Every drink costs a dime Wine liquor beer its all the same

Wow Thats some story one of the men says

As the four of them sip at their martinis they cant help noticing seven other people

at the end of the bar who dont have any drinks in front of them and havent ordered

anything the whole time theyve been there

Nodding at the seven at the end of the bar

one of the men asks the Bartender Whats with them

The bartender says ldquoTheyrsquore retired people from CANADA

Theyrsquore waiting for Happy Hour when drinks are half-price

plus they have coupons

February 2015

Happy New Years2015 to those of us who still remember dates Last year I joined a support group for procrastinators We havent met yet

I dont trip over things I do random gravity checks Old age is coming at a really bad time

When I was a child I thought Nap Time was a punishment now as a grown up it just feels like a small vacation

The biggest lie I tell myself is I dont need to write that down Ill remember it

Lord grant me the strength to accept the things I cannot change the courage to change the things I can and the friends to post

my bail when I finally snap I dont have gray hair I have wisdom highlights Im just very wise

My people skills are just fine Its my tolerance to idiots that needs work

Teach your daughter how to shoot because a restraining order is just a piece of paper

If God wanted me to touch my toes he wouldve put them on my knees

The kids text me plz which is shorter than please I text back no

which is shorter than yes

Im going to retire and live off of my savings Not sure what Ill do

that second week

Ive lost my mind and Im pretty sure my kids took it Even duct tape

cant fix stupid but it can muffle the sound

Why do I have to press one for English when youre just gonna

transfer me to someone I cant understand anyway

Lord Give me patience and give it to me NOW

Of course I talk to myself sometimes I need expert advice

At my age Getting lucky means walking into a room and remem-

bering what I came in there for

Wouldnt it be great if we could put ourselves in the dryer for ten

minutes come out wrinkle-free and three sizes smaller

Life is too short drink the good wine first

Excerpts from a Catrsquos Diaryhellip

Day 752 - My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects They dine lavishly on fresh meat while I am forced to eat dry cereal The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape and the mild satisfaction I get from ruining the occasional piece of furniture Tomorrow I may eat another house plant

Day 761 - Today my attempt to kill my captors by weaving around their feet while they were walking almost succeeded must try this at the top of the stairs In an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors I once again induced myself to vomit on their favorite chairmust try on their bed

Day 765 - Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body in attempt to make them aware of what I am capable of and to try to strike fear into their hearts They only cooed and condescended about what a good little cat I wasHmmmm Not working according to plan

Day 768 - I am finally aware of how sadistic they are For no good reason I was chosen for the water torture This time however it included a burning foamy chemical called ldquoshampoordquo What sick minds could invent such a liquid My only consolation is the piece of thumb still stuck between my teeth

Day 774 - I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe snitches The dog is routinely released and seems more than happy to return He is obviously a half-wit

uncontrollably

He continued ldquoWe make passionate love every dayrdquo

Paradise Village Resident Barb Prior

Osteoporosis is the condition when the bones become increas-

ingly porous leading to the risk of fractures especially of the wrists

hips or spinal vertebrae (stooped posture or dowagers hump)

This condition affects both women and men Approximately 50

of postmenopausal women are at risk and about 20 of men over

the age of 60 years

Bone density begins to reduce for everyone after it peaks in our late

20s By the age of 35 years our bones become gradually weaker

Osteoporosis occurs when there is an imbalance between new

bone formation and old bone re-absorption

Calcium is essential for proper function of the heart brain and other

organs The body re-absorbs calcium that is stored in the bones to

maintain adequate calcium levels in the blood If your calcium

intake is not sufficient bone production and bone tissue may suffer

resulting in weaker brittle bones If this bone loss occurs over an

extended period of many years it can result in serious damage to

bone health

Risk factors that cannot be modified Age

Race (Caucasians and Asians are at greater risk)

Small bone structure

Family history of osteoporosis

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS

Since bone loss is gradual over many years there are no signs or symptoms in the early stages After many years of

bone loss there may be dull pain in the bones and muscles particularly low back pain or neck pain Most people

become aware that they have osteoporosis when they experience a fracture after a minor fall A slip or strain or even

a violent cough or sneeze may result in a fracture

TREATMENT AND PREVENTION

The risk of a fracture can be lowered with lifestyle changes along with dietary andor supplements to prevent bone loss

Women over 50 and men over 70 require 1000-1200mg of calcium a day

Vitamin D - the sunshine vitamin is needed to increase bone mass In this northern climate we do not get enough

from the sun Foods containing Vitamin D include fortified milk egg yolks saltwater fish and liver

The daily recommended dose of Vitamin D for both women and men over the age of 60 years is 800-1200mgday

Quit smoking

Drink alcohol in moderation (Poor nutrition and increased risk of falls are factors here)

Exercise - weight-bearing exercises or simply walking promotes healthy bones and strengthens the muscles to

support our bones and reduces the risk of falls

If you suspect you may be at risk of osteoporosis

consult your doctor for further evaluation and treatment

Risk factors that can be modified Inactivity or immobility

Reduced Calcium and Vitamin D intake

Smoking

Excessive alcohol intake

Eating disorders (anorexia andor bulimia)

Reduced estrogen production

Back by popular demand IF there is enough interest

The last two years have been awesome

Folklorama 2015 is requesting confirmation of trips already so I need to know how many people are interested in

attending I do have a list of people who called some time ago and indicated interest but I need quite a few more to make it work We are able to keep the cost the same as last year and anyone who has gone in the past will tell you it is a real bargain

If you would like the opportunity to go to Folklorama without the line-ups hassle of parking enjoy preferential treatment at the pavilions and also get to enjoy both of the Casinos of Winnipeg and stay at the Club Regent Casino Hotel by Canad Inn give Marilyn a call right away (204-326-4939) I will plan for one trip only at this time and only consider both weeks if there is a lot of interest shown As in the past I will need commitments early If you are not sure if you are on my list call The dates I have in mind are Week 1 ndash Tuesday Aug 4th Wednesday August 5th Week 2 ndash Tuesday Aug 11th Wednesday Aug 12th

For those not familiar with the trip I am adding a sample of what the trip is like

Day one - Casino bus pickup at Steinbach 830 am - Ste Anne 840 - Paradise Village 900 am

- Arrive McPhillips Street Station in the morning 1000 am - arrive at Club Regent 230 pm and book in at the Canad Inn

- Early evening - arrive at 1st pavilion for an appetizer drink and show - After the show bus will take us to second pavilion for dinner drink and the show there - Finally our bus will take us to a third pavilion for dessert drink and their performance - When the evening is over our bus will take us back to Canad Inn at Club Regent for our overnight stay Your time is your own to do as you please until check out time the following day

Day two -enjoy Club Regent (or do whatever you wish) before leaving for the trip home at 200 pm Pavilions will be the choice of organizers (because of timing) Early commitment insures better pavilion choice Cost includes bus usual Casino Bus benefits of giveaways bingo etc (not the $1000 given on the free monthly trips) pavilion entrance fees food and drink at the pavilions shows and overnight stay ALL THIS FOR ONLY $8500 per person (based on double occupancy) Singles are welcome too but there is an additional charge of $5000 for hotel room unless you are sharing with someone This fantastic deal is only available through our casino bus and overnight stay is mandatory Offer is open to all you do not need to live in Paradise Village so let your friends know too (must be over 18)

There is no report for this month Larry Trush

So I have found some history on Square Dancing

for your reading pleasure Debbie Kokil Editor

Square dance is a dance for four couples (eight dancers) arranged in a square with one couple on each side facing the middle of the square Square dances were first documented in 17th-century England but were also quite common in France and throughout Europe They came to North America with the European settlers and have undergone considerable development there In some countries and regions through preservation and repetition square dances have attained the status of a folk dance

Traditional square dance which is also called old time square dance Traditional square dance is not standardized and can be subdivided into regional styles The New England and Appalachian styles have been particularly well documented both have survived to the present time There are several other styles some have survived or been revived in recent years some have not Traditional square dance is frequently presented in alternation with contra dances (particularly in revival groups) or with some form of freestyle couple dancing (at surviving local events) One ancestor of New England style square dances is the quadrille and older New England callers occasionally refer to their squares as ldquoquadrillesrdquo Where traditional square dance has been revived it encompasses a wide range of new choreography

Modern Western square dance (MWSD) which is also called Western square dance contemporary Western square dance or modern American square dance Modern Western square dance evolved from the Western style of traditional square dance from about 1940 to 1960 Traditional Western square dancing was promoted beginning in the 1930s by Lloyd Shaw who solicited definitions from callers across the country in order to preserve that dance form and make it available to other teachers Since the 1970s modern Western square dance has been promoted and standardized by Callerlab the International Association of Square Dance Callers Because of this standardization it is possible for anyone with the proper training to enjoy Modern Western square dancing in many countries around the world although instruction is typically given in the local language the calls are always in English Modern Western square dance is sometimes presented in alternation with round dances

My New Exercise Routine

Begin by standing on a comfortable surface where you have plenty of room at each side With a 5-lb potato bag in each hand extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long

as you can Try to reach a full minute and then relax

Each day youll find that you can hold this position for just a bit

longer

After a couple of weeks move up to 10-lb potato bags

Then try 50-lb potato bags and eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb potato bag in each hand and hold your arms

straight for more than a full minute (Im at this level)

After you feel confident at that level put a potato in each bag

High Cholesterol

Cholesterol is a waxy substance thats found in the fats (lipids) in your blood While your body

needs cholesterol to continue building healthy cells having high cholesterol can increase your risk of heart disease

When you have high cholesterol you may develop fatty deposits in your blood vessels Eventually these deposits make it difficult for enough blood to flow through your arteries Your heart may not get as much oxygen-rich blood as it needs which increases the risk of a heart attack Decreased blood flow to your brain can cause a stroke

High cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia) can be inherited but its often the result of unhealthy lifestyle choices and thus preventable and treatable A healthy diet regular exercise and sometimes medication can go a long way toward reducing high cholesterol

High cholesterol has no symptoms A blood test is the only way to detect high cholesterol

When to see a doctor

Ask your doctor for a baseline cholesterol test at age 20 and then have your cholesterol retested at least every five years If your test results arent within desirable ranges your doctor may recommend more frequent measurements Your doctor may also suggest you have more frequent tests if you have a family history of high cholesterol heart disease or other risk factors such as smoking diabetes or high blood pressure

Lifestyle changes are essential to improve your cholesterol level To bring your numbers down lose excess weight eat healthy foods and increase your physical activity If you smoke quit

Lose extra pounds

Excess weight contributes to high cholesterol Losing even 5 to 10 pounds can help lower total cholesterol levels Start by taking an honest look at your eating habits and daily routine Consider your challenges to weight loss mdash and ways to overcome them Set long-term sustainable goals

Eat heart-healthy foods

What you eat has a direct impact on your cholesterol level In fact a diet rich in fiber and other cholesterol-lowering foods may help lower cholesterol as much as statin medication for some people

bullChoose healthier fats Saturated fat and trans fat raise your total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol Get no more than 10 percent of your daily calories from saturated fat Monounsaturated fat mdash found in olive peanut and canola oils mdash is a healthier option Almonds and walnuts are other sources of healthy fat

33

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

bullEliminate trans fats Trans fats which are often found in margarines and commercially baked cookies crackers and snack cakes are particularly bad for your cholesterol levels Not only do trans fats increase your total LDL (bad) cholesterol but they also lower your HDL (good) cholesterol

You may have noticed more food labels now market their products as trans fat-free But dont rely only on this label In the United States if a food contains less than 05 grams of trans fat a serving it can be marked trans fat-free It may not seem like much but if you eat a lot of foods with a small amount of trans fat it can add up quickly Instead read the ingredients list If a food contains a partially hydrogenated oil thats a trans fat and you should look for an alternative

bullLimit your dietary cholesterol Aim for no more than 300 milligrams (mg) of cholesterol a day mdash or less than 200 mg if you have heart disease The most concentrated sources of cholesterol include organ meats egg yolks and whole milk products Use lean cuts of meat egg substitutes and skim milk instead

bullSelect whole grains Various nutrients found in whole grains promote heart health Choose whole-grain breads whole-wheat pasta whole-wheat flour and brown rice Oatmeal and oat bran are other good choices

bullStock up on fruits and vegetables Fruits and vegetables are rich in dietary fiber which can help lower cholesterol Snack on seasonal fruits Experiment with vegetable-based casseroles soups and stir-fries

bullEat heart-healthy fish Some types of fish mdash such as cod tuna and halibut mdash have less total fat saturated fat and cholesterol than do meat and poultry Salmon mackerel and herring are rich in omega-3 fatty acids which help promote heart health

bullDrink alcohol only in moderation Moderate use of alcohol may increase your levels of HDL cholesterol mdash but the benefits arent strong enough to recommend alcohol for anyone who does-nt drink already If you choose to drink do so in moderation This means no more than one drink a day for women and one to two drinks a day for men

Exercise regularly

Regular exercise can help improve your cholesterol levels With your doctors OK work up to 30 to 60 minutes of exercise a day Take a brisk daily walk Ride your bike Swim laps To maintain your motivation keep it fun Find an exercise buddy or join an exercise group And you dont need to get all 30 to 60 minutes in one exercise session If you can squeeze in three to six 10-minute intervals of exercise youll still get some cholesterol-lowering benefits

Dont smoke

Four old retired men are walking down a

street in Lakeland Florida

They turn a corner and see a sign that says

Old Timers Bar - ALL drinks 10 cents

They look at each other and then go in thinking this is too good to be true

The old bartender says in a voice that carries across the room

Come on in and let me pour one for you Whatll it be gentlemen

Theres a fully stocked bar so each of the men orders a martini

In no time the bartender serves up four iced martinis shaken not stirred and says

Thatll be 10 cents each please

The four guys stare at the bartender for a moment then at each other

They cant believe their good luck

They pay the 40 cents finish their martinis and order another round

Again four excellent martinis are produced with the bartender again saying

ldquoThatrsquos 40 cents please

They pay the 40 cents but their curiosity gets the better of them

Theyve each had two martinis and havent even spent a dollar yet

Finally one of them says How can you afford to serve martinis as good as these for a dime a piece

Im a retired tailor from Orlando the bartender says and I always wanted to own a bar

Last year I hit the Lottery Jackpot for $125 million and decided to open this place

Every drink costs a dime Wine liquor beer its all the same

Wow Thats some story one of the men says

As the four of them sip at their martinis they cant help noticing seven other people

at the end of the bar who dont have any drinks in front of them and havent ordered

anything the whole time theyve been there

Nodding at the seven at the end of the bar

one of the men asks the Bartender Whats with them

The bartender says ldquoTheyrsquore retired people from CANADA

Theyrsquore waiting for Happy Hour when drinks are half-price

plus they have coupons

February 2015

Happy New Years2015 to those of us who still remember dates Last year I joined a support group for procrastinators We havent met yet

I dont trip over things I do random gravity checks Old age is coming at a really bad time

When I was a child I thought Nap Time was a punishment now as a grown up it just feels like a small vacation

The biggest lie I tell myself is I dont need to write that down Ill remember it

Lord grant me the strength to accept the things I cannot change the courage to change the things I can and the friends to post

my bail when I finally snap I dont have gray hair I have wisdom highlights Im just very wise

My people skills are just fine Its my tolerance to idiots that needs work

Teach your daughter how to shoot because a restraining order is just a piece of paper

If God wanted me to touch my toes he wouldve put them on my knees

The kids text me plz which is shorter than please I text back no

which is shorter than yes

Im going to retire and live off of my savings Not sure what Ill do

that second week

Ive lost my mind and Im pretty sure my kids took it Even duct tape

cant fix stupid but it can muffle the sound

Why do I have to press one for English when youre just gonna

transfer me to someone I cant understand anyway

Lord Give me patience and give it to me NOW

Of course I talk to myself sometimes I need expert advice

At my age Getting lucky means walking into a room and remem-

bering what I came in there for

Wouldnt it be great if we could put ourselves in the dryer for ten

minutes come out wrinkle-free and three sizes smaller

Life is too short drink the good wine first

Excerpts from a Catrsquos Diaryhellip

Day 752 - My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects They dine lavishly on fresh meat while I am forced to eat dry cereal The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape and the mild satisfaction I get from ruining the occasional piece of furniture Tomorrow I may eat another house plant

Day 761 - Today my attempt to kill my captors by weaving around their feet while they were walking almost succeeded must try this at the top of the stairs In an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors I once again induced myself to vomit on their favorite chairmust try on their bed

Day 765 - Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body in attempt to make them aware of what I am capable of and to try to strike fear into their hearts They only cooed and condescended about what a good little cat I wasHmmmm Not working according to plan

Day 768 - I am finally aware of how sadistic they are For no good reason I was chosen for the water torture This time however it included a burning foamy chemical called ldquoshampoordquo What sick minds could invent such a liquid My only consolation is the piece of thumb still stuck between my teeth

Day 774 - I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe snitches The dog is routinely released and seems more than happy to return He is obviously a half-wit

Paradise Village Resident Barb Prior

Osteoporosis is the condition when the bones become increas-

ingly porous leading to the risk of fractures especially of the wrists

hips or spinal vertebrae (stooped posture or dowagers hump)

This condition affects both women and men Approximately 50

of postmenopausal women are at risk and about 20 of men over

the age of 60 years

Bone density begins to reduce for everyone after it peaks in our late

20s By the age of 35 years our bones become gradually weaker

Osteoporosis occurs when there is an imbalance between new

bone formation and old bone re-absorption

Calcium is essential for proper function of the heart brain and other

organs The body re-absorbs calcium that is stored in the bones to

maintain adequate calcium levels in the blood If your calcium

intake is not sufficient bone production and bone tissue may suffer

resulting in weaker brittle bones If this bone loss occurs over an

extended period of many years it can result in serious damage to

bone health

Risk factors that cannot be modified Age

Race (Caucasians and Asians are at greater risk)

Small bone structure

Family history of osteoporosis

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS

Since bone loss is gradual over many years there are no signs or symptoms in the early stages After many years of

bone loss there may be dull pain in the bones and muscles particularly low back pain or neck pain Most people

become aware that they have osteoporosis when they experience a fracture after a minor fall A slip or strain or even

a violent cough or sneeze may result in a fracture

TREATMENT AND PREVENTION

The risk of a fracture can be lowered with lifestyle changes along with dietary andor supplements to prevent bone loss

Women over 50 and men over 70 require 1000-1200mg of calcium a day

Vitamin D - the sunshine vitamin is needed to increase bone mass In this northern climate we do not get enough

from the sun Foods containing Vitamin D include fortified milk egg yolks saltwater fish and liver

The daily recommended dose of Vitamin D for both women and men over the age of 60 years is 800-1200mgday

Quit smoking

Drink alcohol in moderation (Poor nutrition and increased risk of falls are factors here)

Exercise - weight-bearing exercises or simply walking promotes healthy bones and strengthens the muscles to

support our bones and reduces the risk of falls

If you suspect you may be at risk of osteoporosis

consult your doctor for further evaluation and treatment

Risk factors that can be modified Inactivity or immobility

Reduced Calcium and Vitamin D intake

Smoking

Excessive alcohol intake

Eating disorders (anorexia andor bulimia)

Reduced estrogen production

Just want to take this opportunity to thank everyone for supporting the two South

Beach trips that have been planned to date We sure have a lot of fun donrsquot we

I would be willing to do this overnight trip every second month if that would be your

wish Let me know if this would interest you as bookings for buses and hotel

need to be done quite a bit in advance If there is interest the next one would be

March 3031

For those not familiar with this trip with the rebates it is pretty much a free trip and a

nice getaway in a lovely hotelhellip Call for details

Back by popular demand IF there is enough interest

The last two years have been awesome

Folklorama 2015 is requesting confirmation of trips already so I need to know how many people are interested in

attending I do have a list of people who called some time ago and indicated interest but I need quite a few more to make it work We are able to keep the cost the same as last year and anyone who has gone in the past will tell you it is a real bargain

If you would like the opportunity to go to Folklorama without the line-ups hassle of parking enjoy preferential treatment at the pavilions and also get to enjoy both of the Casinos of Winnipeg and stay at the Club Regent Casino Hotel by Canad Inn give Marilyn a call right away (204-326-4939) I will plan for one trip only at this time and only consider both weeks if there is a lot of interest shown As in the past I will need commitments early If you are not sure if you are on my list call The dates I have in mind are Week 1 ndash Tuesday Aug 4th Wednesday August 5th Week 2 ndash Tuesday Aug 11th Wednesday Aug 12th

For those not familiar with the trip I am adding a sample of what the trip is like

Day one - Casino bus pickup at Steinbach 830 am - Ste Anne 840 - Paradise Village 900 am

- Arrive McPhillips Street Station in the morning 1000 am - arrive at Club Regent 230 pm and book in at the Canad Inn

- Early evening - arrive at 1st pavilion for an appetizer drink and show - After the show bus will take us to second pavilion for dinner drink and the show there - Finally our bus will take us to a third pavilion for dessert drink and their performance - When the evening is over our bus will take us back to Canad Inn at Club Regent for our overnight stay Your time is your own to do as you please until check out time the following day

Day two -enjoy Club Regent (or do whatever you wish) before leaving for the trip home at 200 pm Pavilions will be the choice of organizers (because of timing) Early commitment insures better pavilion choice Cost includes bus usual Casino Bus benefits of giveaways bingo etc (not the $1000 given on the free monthly trips) pavilion entrance fees food and drink at the pavilions shows and overnight stay ALL THIS FOR ONLY $8500 per person (based on double occupancy) Singles are welcome too but there is an additional charge of $5000 for hotel room unless you are sharing with someone This fantastic deal is only available through our casino bus and overnight stay is mandatory Offer is open to all you do not need to live in Paradise Village so let your friends know too (must be over 18)

There is no report for this month Larry Trush

So I have found some history on Square Dancing

for your reading pleasure Debbie Kokil Editor

Square dance is a dance for four couples (eight dancers) arranged in a square with one couple on each side facing the middle of the square Square dances were first documented in 17th-century England but were also quite common in France and throughout Europe They came to North America with the European settlers and have undergone considerable development there In some countries and regions through preservation and repetition square dances have attained the status of a folk dance

Traditional square dance which is also called old time square dance Traditional square dance is not standardized and can be subdivided into regional styles The New England and Appalachian styles have been particularly well documented both have survived to the present time There are several other styles some have survived or been revived in recent years some have not Traditional square dance is frequently presented in alternation with contra dances (particularly in revival groups) or with some form of freestyle couple dancing (at surviving local events) One ancestor of New England style square dances is the quadrille and older New England callers occasionally refer to their squares as ldquoquadrillesrdquo Where traditional square dance has been revived it encompasses a wide range of new choreography

Modern Western square dance (MWSD) which is also called Western square dance contemporary Western square dance or modern American square dance Modern Western square dance evolved from the Western style of traditional square dance from about 1940 to 1960 Traditional Western square dancing was promoted beginning in the 1930s by Lloyd Shaw who solicited definitions from callers across the country in order to preserve that dance form and make it available to other teachers Since the 1970s modern Western square dance has been promoted and standardized by Callerlab the International Association of Square Dance Callers Because of this standardization it is possible for anyone with the proper training to enjoy Modern Western square dancing in many countries around the world although instruction is typically given in the local language the calls are always in English Modern Western square dance is sometimes presented in alternation with round dances

My New Exercise Routine

Begin by standing on a comfortable surface where you have plenty of room at each side With a 5-lb potato bag in each hand extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long

as you can Try to reach a full minute and then relax

Each day youll find that you can hold this position for just a bit

longer

After a couple of weeks move up to 10-lb potato bags

Then try 50-lb potato bags and eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb potato bag in each hand and hold your arms

straight for more than a full minute (Im at this level)

After you feel confident at that level put a potato in each bag

High Cholesterol

Cholesterol is a waxy substance thats found in the fats (lipids) in your blood While your body

needs cholesterol to continue building healthy cells having high cholesterol can increase your risk of heart disease

When you have high cholesterol you may develop fatty deposits in your blood vessels Eventually these deposits make it difficult for enough blood to flow through your arteries Your heart may not get as much oxygen-rich blood as it needs which increases the risk of a heart attack Decreased blood flow to your brain can cause a stroke

High cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia) can be inherited but its often the result of unhealthy lifestyle choices and thus preventable and treatable A healthy diet regular exercise and sometimes medication can go a long way toward reducing high cholesterol

High cholesterol has no symptoms A blood test is the only way to detect high cholesterol

When to see a doctor

Ask your doctor for a baseline cholesterol test at age 20 and then have your cholesterol retested at least every five years If your test results arent within desirable ranges your doctor may recommend more frequent measurements Your doctor may also suggest you have more frequent tests if you have a family history of high cholesterol heart disease or other risk factors such as smoking diabetes or high blood pressure

Lifestyle changes are essential to improve your cholesterol level To bring your numbers down lose excess weight eat healthy foods and increase your physical activity If you smoke quit

Lose extra pounds

Excess weight contributes to high cholesterol Losing even 5 to 10 pounds can help lower total cholesterol levels Start by taking an honest look at your eating habits and daily routine Consider your challenges to weight loss mdash and ways to overcome them Set long-term sustainable goals

Eat heart-healthy foods

What you eat has a direct impact on your cholesterol level In fact a diet rich in fiber and other cholesterol-lowering foods may help lower cholesterol as much as statin medication for some people

bullChoose healthier fats Saturated fat and trans fat raise your total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol Get no more than 10 percent of your daily calories from saturated fat Monounsaturated fat mdash found in olive peanut and canola oils mdash is a healthier option Almonds and walnuts are other sources of healthy fat

33

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

bullEliminate trans fats Trans fats which are often found in margarines and commercially baked cookies crackers and snack cakes are particularly bad for your cholesterol levels Not only do trans fats increase your total LDL (bad) cholesterol but they also lower your HDL (good) cholesterol

You may have noticed more food labels now market their products as trans fat-free But dont rely only on this label In the United States if a food contains less than 05 grams of trans fat a serving it can be marked trans fat-free It may not seem like much but if you eat a lot of foods with a small amount of trans fat it can add up quickly Instead read the ingredients list If a food contains a partially hydrogenated oil thats a trans fat and you should look for an alternative

bullLimit your dietary cholesterol Aim for no more than 300 milligrams (mg) of cholesterol a day mdash or less than 200 mg if you have heart disease The most concentrated sources of cholesterol include organ meats egg yolks and whole milk products Use lean cuts of meat egg substitutes and skim milk instead

bullSelect whole grains Various nutrients found in whole grains promote heart health Choose whole-grain breads whole-wheat pasta whole-wheat flour and brown rice Oatmeal and oat bran are other good choices

bullStock up on fruits and vegetables Fruits and vegetables are rich in dietary fiber which can help lower cholesterol Snack on seasonal fruits Experiment with vegetable-based casseroles soups and stir-fries

bullEat heart-healthy fish Some types of fish mdash such as cod tuna and halibut mdash have less total fat saturated fat and cholesterol than do meat and poultry Salmon mackerel and herring are rich in omega-3 fatty acids which help promote heart health

bullDrink alcohol only in moderation Moderate use of alcohol may increase your levels of HDL cholesterol mdash but the benefits arent strong enough to recommend alcohol for anyone who does-nt drink already If you choose to drink do so in moderation This means no more than one drink a day for women and one to two drinks a day for men

Exercise regularly

Regular exercise can help improve your cholesterol levels With your doctors OK work up to 30 to 60 minutes of exercise a day Take a brisk daily walk Ride your bike Swim laps To maintain your motivation keep it fun Find an exercise buddy or join an exercise group And you dont need to get all 30 to 60 minutes in one exercise session If you can squeeze in three to six 10-minute intervals of exercise youll still get some cholesterol-lowering benefits

Dont smoke

If you smoke stop Quitting can improve your HDL cholesterol level And the benefits dont end there Just 20 minutes after quitting your blood pressure decreases Within 24 hours your risk of a heart attack decreases Within one year your risk of heart disease is half that of a smokers Within 15 years your risk of heart disease is similar to that of someone whos never smoked

Four old retired men are walking down a

street in Lakeland Florida

They turn a corner and see a sign that says

Old Timers Bar - ALL drinks 10 cents

They look at each other and then go in thinking this is too good to be true

The old bartender says in a voice that carries across the room

Come on in and let me pour one for you Whatll it be gentlemen

Theres a fully stocked bar so each of the men orders a martini

In no time the bartender serves up four iced martinis shaken not stirred and says

Thatll be 10 cents each please

The four guys stare at the bartender for a moment then at each other

They cant believe their good luck

They pay the 40 cents finish their martinis and order another round

Again four excellent martinis are produced with the bartender again saying

ldquoThatrsquos 40 cents please

They pay the 40 cents but their curiosity gets the better of them

Theyve each had two martinis and havent even spent a dollar yet

Finally one of them says How can you afford to serve martinis as good as these for a dime a piece

Im a retired tailor from Orlando the bartender says and I always wanted to own a bar

Last year I hit the Lottery Jackpot for $125 million and decided to open this place

Every drink costs a dime Wine liquor beer its all the same

Wow Thats some story one of the men says

As the four of them sip at their martinis they cant help noticing seven other people

at the end of the bar who dont have any drinks in front of them and havent ordered

anything the whole time theyve been there

Nodding at the seven at the end of the bar

one of the men asks the Bartender Whats with them

The bartender says ldquoTheyrsquore retired people from CANADA

Theyrsquore waiting for Happy Hour when drinks are half-price

plus they have coupons

Happy New Years2015 to those of us who still remember dates Last year I joined a support group for procrastinators We havent met yet

I dont trip over things I do random gravity checks Old age is coming at a really bad time

When I was a child I thought Nap Time was a punishment now as a grown up it just feels like a small vacation

The biggest lie I tell myself is I dont need to write that down Ill remember it

Lord grant me the strength to accept the things I cannot change the courage to change the things I can and the friends to post

my bail when I finally snap I dont have gray hair I have wisdom highlights Im just very wise

My people skills are just fine Its my tolerance to idiots that needs work

Teach your daughter how to shoot because a restraining order is just a piece of paper

If God wanted me to touch my toes he wouldve put them on my knees

The kids text me plz which is shorter than please I text back no

which is shorter than yes

Im going to retire and live off of my savings Not sure what Ill do

that second week

Ive lost my mind and Im pretty sure my kids took it Even duct tape

cant fix stupid but it can muffle the sound

Why do I have to press one for English when youre just gonna

transfer me to someone I cant understand anyway

Lord Give me patience and give it to me NOW

Of course I talk to myself sometimes I need expert advice

At my age Getting lucky means walking into a room and remem-

bering what I came in there for

Wouldnt it be great if we could put ourselves in the dryer for ten

minutes come out wrinkle-free and three sizes smaller

Life is too short drink the good wine first

Excerpts from a Catrsquos Diaryhellip

Day 752 - My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects They dine lavishly on fresh meat while I am forced to eat dry cereal The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape and the mild satisfaction I get from ruining the occasional piece of furniture Tomorrow I may eat another house plant

Day 761 - Today my attempt to kill my captors by weaving around their feet while they were walking almost succeeded must try this at the top of the stairs In an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors I once again induced myself to vomit on their favorite chairmust try on their bed

Day 765 - Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body in attempt to make them aware of what I am capable of and to try to strike fear into their hearts They only cooed and condescended about what a good little cat I wasHmmmm Not working according to plan

Day 768 - I am finally aware of how sadistic they are For no good reason I was chosen for the water torture This time however it included a burning foamy chemical called ldquoshampoordquo What sick minds could invent such a liquid My only consolation is the piece of thumb still stuck between my teeth

Day 774 - I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe snitches The dog is routinely released and seems more than happy to return He is obviously a half-wit

The boss was concerned

that his employees werenrsquot

so he tried an old fashioned

method of persuasion

He brought in a sign that

said ldquoIrsquom the Bossrdquo and

taped it to his door

After lunch he noticed

someone had taped

another sign under his

An old man was sitting on a

park bench crying

I asked him ldquoWhy are you

cryingrdquo

He told me ldquoI am married to

a young beautiful woman

that means everything to

merdquo

But he just kept sobbing

uncontrollably

He continued ldquoWe make passionate love every dayrdquo

I said ldquoThen why are you cryingrdquo

He said ldquoBecause I for forgot where I liverdquo

Submitted by

Paradise Village Resident Barb Prior

Osteoporosis is the condition when the bones become increas-

ingly porous leading to the risk of fractures especially of the wrists

hips or spinal vertebrae (stooped posture or dowagers hump)

This condition affects both women and men Approximately 50

of postmenopausal women are at risk and about 20 of men over

the age of 60 years

Bone density begins to reduce for everyone after it peaks in our late

20s By the age of 35 years our bones become gradually weaker

Osteoporosis occurs when there is an imbalance between new

bone formation and old bone re-absorption

Calcium is essential for proper function of the heart brain and other

organs The body re-absorbs calcium that is stored in the bones to

maintain adequate calcium levels in the blood If your calcium

intake is not sufficient bone production and bone tissue may suffer

resulting in weaker brittle bones If this bone loss occurs over an

extended period of many years it can result in serious damage to

bone health

Risk factors that cannot be modified Age

Race (Caucasians and Asians are at greater risk)

Small bone structure

Family history of osteoporosis

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS

Since bone loss is gradual over many years there are no signs or symptoms in the early stages After many years of

bone loss there may be dull pain in the bones and muscles particularly low back pain or neck pain Most people

become aware that they have osteoporosis when they experience a fracture after a minor fall A slip or strain or even

a violent cough or sneeze may result in a fracture

TREATMENT AND PREVENTION

The risk of a fracture can be lowered with lifestyle changes along with dietary andor supplements to prevent bone loss

Women over 50 and men over 70 require 1000-1200mg of calcium a day

Vitamin D - the sunshine vitamin is needed to increase bone mass In this northern climate we do not get enough

from the sun Foods containing Vitamin D include fortified milk egg yolks saltwater fish and liver

The daily recommended dose of Vitamin D for both women and men over the age of 60 years is 800-1200mgday

Quit smoking

Drink alcohol in moderation (Poor nutrition and increased risk of falls are factors here)

Exercise - weight-bearing exercises or simply walking promotes healthy bones and strengthens the muscles to

support our bones and reduces the risk of falls

If you suspect you may be at risk of osteoporosis

consult your doctor for further evaluation and treatment

Risk factors that can be modified Inactivity or immobility

Reduced Calcium and Vitamin D intake

Smoking

Excessive alcohol intake

Eating disorders (anorexia andor bulimia)

Reduced estrogen production

Just want to take this opportunity to thank everyone for supporting the two South

Beach trips that have been planned to date We sure have a lot of fun donrsquot we

I would be willing to do this overnight trip every second month if that would be your

wish Let me know if this would interest you as bookings for buses and hotel

need to be done quite a bit in advance If there is interest the next one would be

March 3031

For those not familiar with this trip with the rebates it is pretty much a free trip and a

nice getaway in a lovely hotelhellip Call for details

Back by popular demand IF there is enough interest

The last two years have been awesome

Folklorama 2015 is requesting confirmation of trips already so I need to know how many people are interested in

attending I do have a list of people who called some time ago and indicated interest but I need quite a few more to make it work We are able to keep the cost the same as last year and anyone who has gone in the past will tell you it is a real bargain

If you would like the opportunity to go to Folklorama without the line-ups hassle of parking enjoy preferential treatment at the pavilions and also get to enjoy both of the Casinos of Winnipeg and stay at the Club Regent Casino Hotel by Canad Inn give Marilyn a call right away (204-326-4939) I will plan for one trip only at this time and only consider both weeks if there is a lot of interest shown As in the past I will need commitments early If you are not sure if you are on my list call The dates I have in mind are Week 1 ndash Tuesday Aug 4th Wednesday August 5th Week 2 ndash Tuesday Aug 11th Wednesday Aug 12th

For those not familiar with the trip I am adding a sample of what the trip is like

Day one - Casino bus pickup at Steinbach 830 am - Ste Anne 840 - Paradise Village 900 am

- Arrive McPhillips Street Station in the morning 1000 am - arrive at Club Regent 230 pm and book in at the Canad Inn

- Early evening - arrive at 1st pavilion for an appetizer drink and show - After the show bus will take us to second pavilion for dinner drink and the show there - Finally our bus will take us to a third pavilion for dessert drink and their performance - When the evening is over our bus will take us back to Canad Inn at Club Regent for our overnight stay Your time is your own to do as you please until check out time the following day

Day two -enjoy Club Regent (or do whatever you wish) before leaving for the trip home at 200 pm Pavilions will be the choice of organizers (because of timing) Early commitment insures better pavilion choice Cost includes bus usual Casino Bus benefits of giveaways bingo etc (not the $1000 given on the free monthly trips) pavilion entrance fees food and drink at the pavilions shows and overnight stay ALL THIS FOR ONLY $8500 per person (based on double occupancy) Singles are welcome too but there is an additional charge of $5000 for hotel room unless you are sharing with someone This fantastic deal is only available through our casino bus and overnight stay is mandatory Offer is open to all you do not need to live in Paradise Village so let your friends know too (must be over 18)

There is no report for this month Larry Trush

So I have found some history on Square Dancing

for your reading pleasure Debbie Kokil Editor

Square dance is a dance for four couples (eight dancers) arranged in a square with one couple on each side facing the middle of the square Square dances were first documented in 17th-century England but were also quite common in France and throughout Europe They came to North America with the European settlers and have undergone considerable development there In some countries and regions through preservation and repetition square dances have attained the status of a folk dance

Traditional square dance which is also called old time square dance Traditional square dance is not standardized and can be subdivided into regional styles The New England and Appalachian styles have been particularly well documented both have survived to the present time There are several other styles some have survived or been revived in recent years some have not Traditional square dance is frequently presented in alternation with contra dances (particularly in revival groups) or with some form of freestyle couple dancing (at surviving local events) One ancestor of New England style square dances is the quadrille and older New England callers occasionally refer to their squares as ldquoquadrillesrdquo Where traditional square dance has been revived it encompasses a wide range of new choreography

Modern Western square dance (MWSD) which is also called Western square dance contemporary Western square dance or modern American square dance Modern Western square dance evolved from the Western style of traditional square dance from about 1940 to 1960 Traditional Western square dancing was promoted beginning in the 1930s by Lloyd Shaw who solicited definitions from callers across the country in order to preserve that dance form and make it available to other teachers Since the 1970s modern Western square dance has been promoted and standardized by Callerlab the International Association of Square Dance Callers Because of this standardization it is possible for anyone with the proper training to enjoy Modern Western square dancing in many countries around the world although instruction is typically given in the local language the calls are always in English Modern Western square dance is sometimes presented in alternation with round dances

FOR FAMILY AND FRIENDS

Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs that it may benefit those who listen Ephesians 429

Many people with whom we come in contact with everyday are in desperate need of a smile or an encouraging word

Our world is a difficult place Friends and family may be troubled by challenges of everyday life

Because we dont know who needs our help it is best to try to encourage all the people we come in contact with

True friends will always lift you higher

Come worship with us on Sundays at 10 AM at the LUD Hall in Richer Everyone is welcome Coffee and Fellowship following the Service We will continue to have Church Services in Richer until the re-opening of our Paradise Village Recreation Center

My New Exercise Routine

Begin by standing on a comfortable surface where you have plenty of room at each side With a 5-lb potato bag in each hand extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long

as you can Try to reach a full minute and then relax

Each day youll find that you can hold this position for just a bit

longer

After a couple of weeks move up to 10-lb potato bags

Then try 50-lb potato bags and eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb potato bag in each hand and hold your arms

straight for more than a full minute (Im at this level)

After you feel confident at that level put a potato in each bag

High Cholesterol

Cholesterol is a waxy substance thats found in the fats (lipids) in your blood While your body

needs cholesterol to continue building healthy cells having high cholesterol can increase your risk of heart disease

When you have high cholesterol you may develop fatty deposits in your blood vessels Eventually these deposits make it difficult for enough blood to flow through your arteries Your heart may not get as much oxygen-rich blood as it needs which increases the risk of a heart attack Decreased blood flow to your brain can cause a stroke

High cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia) can be inherited but its often the result of unhealthy lifestyle choices and thus preventable and treatable A healthy diet regular exercise and sometimes medication can go a long way toward reducing high cholesterol

High cholesterol has no symptoms A blood test is the only way to detect high cholesterol

When to see a doctor

Ask your doctor for a baseline cholesterol test at age 20 and then have your cholesterol retested at least every five years If your test results arent within desirable ranges your doctor may recommend more frequent measurements Your doctor may also suggest you have more frequent tests if you have a family history of high cholesterol heart disease or other risk factors such as smoking diabetes or high blood pressure

Lifestyle changes are essential to improve your cholesterol level To bring your numbers down lose excess weight eat healthy foods and increase your physical activity If you smoke quit

Lose extra pounds

Excess weight contributes to high cholesterol Losing even 5 to 10 pounds can help lower total cholesterol levels Start by taking an honest look at your eating habits and daily routine Consider your challenges to weight loss mdash and ways to overcome them Set long-term sustainable goals

Eat heart-healthy foods

What you eat has a direct impact on your cholesterol level In fact a diet rich in fiber and other cholesterol-lowering foods may help lower cholesterol as much as statin medication for some people

bullChoose healthier fats Saturated fat and trans fat raise your total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol Get no more than 10 percent of your daily calories from saturated fat Monounsaturated fat mdash found in olive peanut and canola oils mdash is a healthier option Almonds and walnuts are other sources of healthy fat

33

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

bullEliminate trans fats Trans fats which are often found in margarines and commercially baked cookies crackers and snack cakes are particularly bad for your cholesterol levels Not only do trans fats increase your total LDL (bad) cholesterol but they also lower your HDL (good) cholesterol

You may have noticed more food labels now market their products as trans fat-free But dont rely only on this label In the United States if a food contains less than 05 grams of trans fat a serving it can be marked trans fat-free It may not seem like much but if you eat a lot of foods with a small amount of trans fat it can add up quickly Instead read the ingredients list If a food contains a partially hydrogenated oil thats a trans fat and you should look for an alternative

bullLimit your dietary cholesterol Aim for no more than 300 milligrams (mg) of cholesterol a day mdash or less than 200 mg if you have heart disease The most concentrated sources of cholesterol include organ meats egg yolks and whole milk products Use lean cuts of meat egg substitutes and skim milk instead

bullSelect whole grains Various nutrients found in whole grains promote heart health Choose whole-grain breads whole-wheat pasta whole-wheat flour and brown rice Oatmeal and oat bran are other good choices

bullStock up on fruits and vegetables Fruits and vegetables are rich in dietary fiber which can help lower cholesterol Snack on seasonal fruits Experiment with vegetable-based casseroles soups and stir-fries

bullEat heart-healthy fish Some types of fish mdash such as cod tuna and halibut mdash have less total fat saturated fat and cholesterol than do meat and poultry Salmon mackerel and herring are rich in omega-3 fatty acids which help promote heart health

bullDrink alcohol only in moderation Moderate use of alcohol may increase your levels of HDL cholesterol mdash but the benefits arent strong enough to recommend alcohol for anyone who does-nt drink already If you choose to drink do so in moderation This means no more than one drink a day for women and one to two drinks a day for men

Exercise regularly

Regular exercise can help improve your cholesterol levels With your doctors OK work up to 30 to 60 minutes of exercise a day Take a brisk daily walk Ride your bike Swim laps To maintain your motivation keep it fun Find an exercise buddy or join an exercise group And you dont need to get all 30 to 60 minutes in one exercise session If you can squeeze in three to six 10-minute intervals of exercise youll still get some cholesterol-lowering benefits

Dont smoke

If you smoke stop Quitting can improve your HDL cholesterol level And the benefits dont end there Just 20 minutes after quitting your blood pressure decreases Within 24 hours your risk of a heart attack decreases Within one year your risk of heart disease is half that of a smokers Within 15 years your risk of heart disease is similar to that of someone whos never smoked

Four old retired men are walking down a

street in Lakeland Florida

They turn a corner and see a sign that says

Old Timers Bar - ALL drinks 10 cents

They look at each other and then go in thinking this is too good to be true

The old bartender says in a voice that carries across the room

Come on in and let me pour one for you Whatll it be gentlemen

Theres a fully stocked bar so each of the men orders a martini

In no time the bartender serves up four iced martinis shaken not stirred and says

Thatll be 10 cents each please

The four guys stare at the bartender for a moment then at each other

They cant believe their good luck

They pay the 40 cents finish their martinis and order another round

Again four excellent martinis are produced with the bartender again saying

ldquoThatrsquos 40 cents please

They pay the 40 cents but their curiosity gets the better of them

Theyve each had two martinis and havent even spent a dollar yet

Finally one of them says How can you afford to serve martinis as good as these for a dime a piece

Im a retired tailor from Orlando the bartender says and I always wanted to own a bar

Last year I hit the Lottery Jackpot for $125 million and decided to open this place

Every drink costs a dime Wine liquor beer its all the same

Wow Thats some story one of the men says

As the four of them sip at their martinis they cant help noticing seven other people

at the end of the bar who dont have any drinks in front of them and havent ordered

anything the whole time theyve been there

Nodding at the seven at the end of the bar

one of the men asks the Bartender Whats with them

The bartender says ldquoTheyrsquore retired people from CANADA

Theyrsquore waiting for Happy Hour when drinks are half-price

plus they have coupons

Happy New Years2015 to those of us who still remember dates Last year I joined a support group for procrastinators We havent met yet

I dont trip over things I do random gravity checks Old age is coming at a really bad time

When I was a child I thought Nap Time was a punishment now as a grown up it just feels like a small vacation

The biggest lie I tell myself is I dont need to write that down Ill remember it

Lord grant me the strength to accept the things I cannot change the courage to change the things I can and the friends to post

my bail when I finally snap I dont have gray hair I have wisdom highlights Im just very wise

My people skills are just fine Its my tolerance to idiots that needs work

Teach your daughter how to shoot because a restraining order is just a piece of paper

If God wanted me to touch my toes he wouldve put them on my knees

The kids text me plz which is shorter than please I text back no

which is shorter than yes

Im going to retire and live off of my savings Not sure what Ill do

that second week

Ive lost my mind and Im pretty sure my kids took it Even duct tape

cant fix stupid but it can muffle the sound

Why do I have to press one for English when youre just gonna

transfer me to someone I cant understand anyway

Lord Give me patience and give it to me NOW

Of course I talk to myself sometimes I need expert advice

At my age Getting lucky means walking into a room and remem-

bering what I came in there for

Wouldnt it be great if we could put ourselves in the dryer for ten

minutes come out wrinkle-free and three sizes smaller

Life is too short drink the good wine first

Excerpts from a Catrsquos Diaryhellip

Day 752 - My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects They dine lavishly on fresh meat while I am forced to eat dry cereal The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape and the mild satisfaction I get from ruining the occasional piece of furniture Tomorrow I may eat another house plant

Day 761 - Today my attempt to kill my captors by weaving around their feet while they were walking almost succeeded must try this at the top of the stairs In an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors I once again induced myself to vomit on their favorite chairmust try on their bed

Day 765 - Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body in attempt to make them aware of what I am capable of and to try to strike fear into their hearts They only cooed and condescended about what a good little cat I wasHmmmm Not working according to plan

Day 768 - I am finally aware of how sadistic they are For no good reason I was chosen for the water torture This time however it included a burning foamy chemical called ldquoshampoordquo What sick minds could invent such a liquid My only consolation is the piece of thumb still stuck between my teeth

Day 774 - I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe snitches The dog is routinely released and seems more than happy to return He is obviously a half-wit

uncontrollably

Paradise Village Resident Barb Prior

Osteoporosis is the condition when the bones become increas-

ingly porous leading to the risk of fractures especially of the wrists

hips or spinal vertebrae (stooped posture or dowagers hump)

This condition affects both women and men Approximately 50

of postmenopausal women are at risk and about 20 of men over

the age of 60 years

Bone density begins to reduce for everyone after it peaks in our late

20s By the age of 35 years our bones become gradually weaker

Osteoporosis occurs when there is an imbalance between new

bone formation and old bone re-absorption

Calcium is essential for proper function of the heart brain and other

organs The body re-absorbs calcium that is stored in the bones to

maintain adequate calcium levels in the blood If your calcium

intake is not sufficient bone production and bone tissue may suffer

resulting in weaker brittle bones If this bone loss occurs over an

extended period of many years it can result in serious damage to

bone health

Risk factors that cannot be modified Age

Race (Caucasians and Asians are at greater risk)

Small bone structure

Family history of osteoporosis

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS

Since bone loss is gradual over many years there are no signs or symptoms in the early stages After many years of

bone loss there may be dull pain in the bones and muscles particularly low back pain or neck pain Most people

become aware that they have osteoporosis when they experience a fracture after a minor fall A slip or strain or even

a violent cough or sneeze may result in a fracture

TREATMENT AND PREVENTION

The risk of a fracture can be lowered with lifestyle changes along with dietary andor supplements to prevent bone loss

Women over 50 and men over 70 require 1000-1200mg of calcium a day

Vitamin D - the sunshine vitamin is needed to increase bone mass In this northern climate we do not get enough

from the sun Foods containing Vitamin D include fortified milk egg yolks saltwater fish and liver

The daily recommended dose of Vitamin D for both women and men over the age of 60 years is 800-1200mgday

Quit smoking

Drink alcohol in moderation (Poor nutrition and increased risk of falls are factors here)

Exercise - weight-bearing exercises or simply walking promotes healthy bones and strengthens the muscles to

support our bones and reduces the risk of falls

If you suspect you may be at risk of osteoporosis

consult your doctor for further evaluation and treatment

Risk factors that can be modified Inactivity or immobility

Reduced Calcium and Vitamin D intake

Smoking

Excessive alcohol intake

Eating disorders (anorexia andor bulimia)

Reduced estrogen production

Beach trips that have been planned to date We sure have a lot of fun donrsquot we

Back by popular demand IF there is enough interest

The last two years have been awesome

Folklorama 2015 is requesting confirmation of trips already so I need to know how many people are interested in

attending I do have a list of people who called some time ago and indicated interest but I need quite a few more to make it work We are able to keep the cost the same as last year and anyone who has gone in the past will tell you it is a real bargain

If you would like the opportunity to go to Folklorama without the line-ups hassle of parking enjoy preferential treatment at the pavilions and also get to enjoy both of the Casinos of Winnipeg and stay at the Club Regent Casino Hotel by Canad Inn give Marilyn a call right away (204-326-4939) I will plan for one trip only at this time and only consider both weeks if there is a lot of interest shown As in the past I will need commitments early If you are not sure if you are on my list call The dates I have in mind are Week 1 ndash Tuesday Aug 4th Wednesday August 5th Week 2 ndash Tuesday Aug 11th Wednesday Aug 12th

For those not familiar with the trip I am adding a sample of what the trip is like

Day one - Casino bus pickup at Steinbach 830 am - Ste Anne 840 - Paradise Village 900 am

- Arrive McPhillips Street Station in the morning 1000 am - arrive at Club Regent 230 pm and book in at the Canad Inn

- Early evening - arrive at 1st pavilion for an appetizer drink and show - After the show bus will take us to second pavilion for dinner drink and the show there - Finally our bus will take us to a third pavilion for dessert drink and their performance - When the evening is over our bus will take us back to Canad Inn at Club Regent for our overnight stay Your time is your own to do as you please until check out time the following day

Day two -enjoy Club Regent (or do whatever you wish) before leaving for the trip home at 200 pm Pavilions will be the choice of organizers (because of timing) Early commitment insures better pavilion choice Cost includes bus usual Casino Bus benefits of giveaways bingo etc (not the $1000 given on the free monthly trips) pavilion entrance fees food and drink at the pavilions shows and overnight stay ALL THIS FOR ONLY $8500 per person (based on double occupancy) Singles are welcome too but there is an additional charge of $5000 for hotel room unless you are sharing with someone This fantastic deal is only available through our casino bus and overnight stay is mandatory Offer is open to all you do not need to live in Paradise Village so let your friends know too (must be over 18)

There is no report for this month Larry Trush

So I have found some history on Square Dancing

for your reading pleasure Debbie Kokil Editor

Square dance is a dance for four couples (eight dancers) arranged in a square with one couple on each side facing the middle of the square Square dances were first documented in 17th-century England but were also quite common in France and throughout Europe They came to North America with the European settlers and have undergone considerable development there In some countries and regions through preservation and repetition square dances have attained the status of a folk dance

Traditional square dance which is also called old time square dance Traditional square dance is not standardized and can be subdivided into regional styles The New England and Appalachian styles have been particularly well documented both have survived to the present time There are several other styles some have survived or been revived in recent years some have not Traditional square dance is frequently presented in alternation with contra dances (particularly in revival groups) or with some form of freestyle couple dancing (at surviving local events) One ancestor of New England style square dances is the quadrille and older New England callers occasionally refer to their squares as ldquoquadrillesrdquo Where traditional square dance has been revived it encompasses a wide range of new choreography

Modern Western square dance (MWSD) which is also called Western square dance contemporary Western square dance or modern American square dance Modern Western square dance evolved from the Western style of traditional square dance from about 1940 to 1960 Traditional Western square dancing was promoted beginning in the 1930s by Lloyd Shaw who solicited definitions from callers across the country in order to preserve that dance form and make it available to other teachers Since the 1970s modern Western square dance has been promoted and standardized by Callerlab the International Association of Square Dance Callers Because of this standardization it is possible for anyone with the proper training to enjoy Modern Western square dancing in many countries around the world although instruction is typically given in the local language the calls are always in English Modern Western square dance is sometimes presented in alternation with round dances

My New Exercise Routine

Begin by standing on a comfortable surface where you have plenty of room at each side With a 5-lb potato bag in each hand extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long

as you can Try to reach a full minute and then relax

Each day youll find that you can hold this position for just a bit

longer

After a couple of weeks move up to 10-lb potato bags

Then try 50-lb potato bags and eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb potato bag in each hand and hold your arms

straight for more than a full minute (Im at this level)

After you feel confident at that level put a potato in each bag

High Cholesterol

Cholesterol is a waxy substance thats found in the fats (lipids) in your blood While your body

needs cholesterol to continue building healthy cells having high cholesterol can increase your risk of heart disease

When you have high cholesterol you may develop fatty deposits in your blood vessels Eventually these deposits make it difficult for enough blood to flow through your arteries Your heart may not get as much oxygen-rich blood as it needs which increases the risk of a heart attack Decreased blood flow to your brain can cause a stroke

High cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia) can be inherited but its often the result of unhealthy lifestyle choices and thus preventable and treatable A healthy diet regular exercise and sometimes medication can go a long way toward reducing high cholesterol

High cholesterol has no symptoms A blood test is the only way to detect high cholesterol

When to see a doctor

Ask your doctor for a baseline cholesterol test at age 20 and then have your cholesterol retested at least every five years If your test results arent within desirable ranges your doctor may recommend more frequent measurements Your doctor may also suggest you have more frequent tests if you have a family history of high cholesterol heart disease or other risk factors such as smoking diabetes or high blood pressure

Lifestyle changes are essential to improve your cholesterol level To bring your numbers down lose excess weight eat healthy foods and increase your physical activity If you smoke quit

Lose extra pounds

Excess weight contributes to high cholesterol Losing even 5 to 10 pounds can help lower total cholesterol levels Start by taking an honest look at your eating habits and daily routine Consider your challenges to weight loss mdash and ways to overcome them Set long-term sustainable goals

Eat heart-healthy foods

What you eat has a direct impact on your cholesterol level In fact a diet rich in fiber and other cholesterol-lowering foods may help lower cholesterol as much as statin medication for some people

bullChoose healthier fats Saturated fat and trans fat raise your total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol Get no more than 10 percent of your daily calories from saturated fat Monounsaturated fat mdash found in olive peanut and canola oils mdash is a healthier option Almonds and walnuts are other sources of healthy fat

33

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

bullEliminate trans fats Trans fats which are often found in margarines and commercially baked cookies crackers and snack cakes are particularly bad for your cholesterol levels Not only do trans fats increase your total LDL (bad) cholesterol but they also lower your HDL (good) cholesterol

You may have noticed more food labels now market their products as trans fat-free But dont rely only on this label In the United States if a food contains less than 05 grams of trans fat a serving it can be marked trans fat-free It may not seem like much but if you eat a lot of foods with a small amount of trans fat it can add up quickly Instead read the ingredients list If a food contains a partially hydrogenated oil thats a trans fat and you should look for an alternative

bullLimit your dietary cholesterol Aim for no more than 300 milligrams (mg) of cholesterol a day mdash or less than 200 mg if you have heart disease The most concentrated sources of cholesterol include organ meats egg yolks and whole milk products Use lean cuts of meat egg substitutes and skim milk instead

bullSelect whole grains Various nutrients found in whole grains promote heart health Choose whole-grain breads whole-wheat pasta whole-wheat flour and brown rice Oatmeal and oat bran are other good choices

bullStock up on fruits and vegetables Fruits and vegetables are rich in dietary fiber which can help lower cholesterol Snack on seasonal fruits Experiment with vegetable-based casseroles soups and stir-fries

bullEat heart-healthy fish Some types of fish mdash such as cod tuna and halibut mdash have less total fat saturated fat and cholesterol than do meat and poultry Salmon mackerel and herring are rich in omega-3 fatty acids which help promote heart health

bullDrink alcohol only in moderation Moderate use of alcohol may increase your levels of HDL cholesterol mdash but the benefits arent strong enough to recommend alcohol for anyone who does-nt drink already If you choose to drink do so in moderation This means no more than one drink a day for women and one to two drinks a day for men

Exercise regularly

Regular exercise can help improve your cholesterol levels With your doctors OK work up to 30 to 60 minutes of exercise a day Take a brisk daily walk Ride your bike Swim laps To maintain your motivation keep it fun Find an exercise buddy or join an exercise group And you dont need to get all 30 to 60 minutes in one exercise session If you can squeeze in three to six 10-minute intervals of exercise youll still get some cholesterol-lowering benefits

Dont smoke

If you smoke stop Quitting can improve your HDL cholesterol level And the benefits dont end there Just 20 minutes after quitting your blood pressure decreases Within 24 hours your risk of a heart attack decreases Within one year your risk of heart disease is half that of a smokers Within 15 years your risk of heart disease is similar to that of someone whos never smoked

and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

Four old retired men are walking down a

street in Lakeland Florida

They turn a corner and see a sign that says

Old Timers Bar - ALL drinks 10 cents

They look at each other and then go in thinking this is too good to be true

The old bartender says in a voice that carries across the room

Come on in and let me pour one for you Whatll it be gentlemen

Theres a fully stocked bar so each of the men orders a martini

In no time the bartender serves up four iced martinis shaken not stirred and says

Thatll be 10 cents each please

The four guys stare at the bartender for a moment then at each other

They cant believe their good luck

They pay the 40 cents finish their martinis and order another round

Again four excellent martinis are produced with the bartender again saying

ldquoThatrsquos 40 cents please

They pay the 40 cents but their curiosity gets the better of them

Theyve each had two martinis and havent even spent a dollar yet

Finally one of them says How can you afford to serve martinis as good as these for a dime a piece

Im a retired tailor from Orlando the bartender says and I always wanted to own a bar

Last year I hit the Lottery Jackpot for $125 million and decided to open this place

Every drink costs a dime Wine liquor beer its all the same

Wow Thats some story one of the men says

As the four of them sip at their martinis they cant help noticing seven other people

at the end of the bar who dont have any drinks in front of them and havent ordered

anything the whole time theyve been there

Nodding at the seven at the end of the bar

one of the men asks the Bartender Whats with them

The bartender says ldquoTheyrsquore retired people from CANADA

Theyrsquore waiting for Happy Hour when drinks are half-price

plus they have coupons

Happy New Years2015 to those of us who still remember dates Last year I joined a support group for procrastinators We havent met yet

I dont trip over things I do random gravity checks Old age is coming at a really bad time

When I was a child I thought Nap Time was a punishment now as a grown up it just feels like a small vacation

The biggest lie I tell myself is I dont need to write that down Ill remember it

Lord grant me the strength to accept the things I cannot change the courage to change the things I can and the friends to post

my bail when I finally snap I dont have gray hair I have wisdom highlights Im just very wise

My people skills are just fine Its my tolerance to idiots that needs work

Teach your daughter how to shoot because a restraining order is just a piece of paper

If God wanted me to touch my toes he wouldve put them on my knees

The kids text me plz which is shorter than please I text back no

which is shorter than yes

Im going to retire and live off of my savings Not sure what Ill do

that second week

Ive lost my mind and Im pretty sure my kids took it Even duct tape

cant fix stupid but it can muffle the sound

Why do I have to press one for English when youre just gonna

transfer me to someone I cant understand anyway

Lord Give me patience and give it to me NOW

Of course I talk to myself sometimes I need expert advice

At my age Getting lucky means walking into a room and remem-

bering what I came in there for

Wouldnt it be great if we could put ourselves in the dryer for ten

minutes come out wrinkle-free and three sizes smaller

Life is too short drink the good wine first

Excerpts from a Catrsquos Diaryhellip

Day 752 - My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects They dine lavishly on fresh meat while I am forced to eat dry cereal The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape and the mild satisfaction I get from ruining the occasional piece of furniture Tomorrow I may eat another house plant

Day 761 - Today my attempt to kill my captors by weaving around their feet while they were walking almost succeeded must try this at the top of the stairs In an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors I once again induced myself to vomit on their favorite chairmust try on their bed

Day 765 - Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body in attempt to make them aware of what I am capable of and to try to strike fear into their hearts They only cooed and condescended about what a good little cat I wasHmmmm Not working according to plan

Day 768 - I am finally aware of how sadistic they are For no good reason I was chosen for the water torture This time however it included a burning foamy chemical called ldquoshampoordquo What sick minds could invent such a liquid My only consolation is the piece of thumb still stuck between my teeth

Day 774 - I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe snitches The dog is routinely released and seems more than happy to return He is obviously a half-wit

I asked him ldquoWhy are you

He told me ldquoI am married to

uncontrollably

He continued ldquoWe make passionate love every dayrdquo

I said ldquoThen why are you cryingrdquo

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

Submitted by

Paradise Village Resident Barb Prior

Osteoporosis is the condition when the bones become increas-

ingly porous leading to the risk of fractures especially of the wrists

hips or spinal vertebrae (stooped posture or dowagers hump)

This condition affects both women and men Approximately 50

of postmenopausal women are at risk and about 20 of men over

the age of 60 years

Bone density begins to reduce for everyone after it peaks in our late

20s By the age of 35 years our bones become gradually weaker

Osteoporosis occurs when there is an imbalance between new

bone formation and old bone re-absorption

Calcium is essential for proper function of the heart brain and other

organs The body re-absorbs calcium that is stored in the bones to

maintain adequate calcium levels in the blood If your calcium

intake is not sufficient bone production and bone tissue may suffer

resulting in weaker brittle bones If this bone loss occurs over an

extended period of many years it can result in serious damage to

bone health

Risk factors that cannot be modified Age

Race (Caucasians and Asians are at greater risk)

Small bone structure

Family history of osteoporosis

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS

Since bone loss is gradual over many years there are no signs or symptoms in the early stages After many years of

bone loss there may be dull pain in the bones and muscles particularly low back pain or neck pain Most people

become aware that they have osteoporosis when they experience a fracture after a minor fall A slip or strain or even

a violent cough or sneeze may result in a fracture

TREATMENT AND PREVENTION

The risk of a fracture can be lowered with lifestyle changes along with dietary andor supplements to prevent bone loss

Women over 50 and men over 70 require 1000-1200mg of calcium a day

Vitamin D - the sunshine vitamin is needed to increase bone mass In this northern climate we do not get enough

from the sun Foods containing Vitamin D include fortified milk egg yolks saltwater fish and liver

The daily recommended dose of Vitamin D for both women and men over the age of 60 years is 800-1200mgday

Quit smoking

Drink alcohol in moderation (Poor nutrition and increased risk of falls are factors here)

Exercise - weight-bearing exercises or simply walking promotes healthy bones and strengthens the muscles to

support our bones and reduces the risk of falls

If you suspect you may be at risk of osteoporosis

consult your doctor for further evaluation and treatment

Risk factors that can be modified Inactivity or immobility

Reduced Calcium and Vitamin D intake

Smoking

Excessive alcohol intake

Eating disorders (anorexia andor bulimia)

Reduced estrogen production

Just want to take this opportunity to thank everyone for supporting the two South

Beach trips that have been planned to date We sure have a lot of fun donrsquot we

I would be willing to do this overnight trip every second month if that would be your

wish Let me know if this would interest you as bookings for buses and hotel

need to be done quite a bit in advance If there is interest the next one would be

March 3031

For those not familiar with this trip with the rebates it is pretty much a free trip and a

nice getaway in a lovely hotelhellip Call for details

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

2015

Back by popular demand IF there is enough interest

The last two years have been awesome

Folklorama 2015 is requesting confirmation of trips already so I need to know how many people are interested in

attending I do have a list of people who called some time ago and indicated interest but I need quite a few more to make it work We are able to keep the cost the same as last year and anyone who has gone in the past will tell you it is a real bargain

If you would like the opportunity to go to Folklorama without the line-ups hassle of parking enjoy preferential treatment at the pavilions and also get to enjoy both of the Casinos of Winnipeg and stay at the Club Regent Casino Hotel by Canad Inn give Marilyn a call right away (204-326-4939) I will plan for one trip only at this time and only consider both weeks if there is a lot of interest shown As in the past I will need commitments early If you are not sure if you are on my list call The dates I have in mind are Week 1 ndash Tuesday Aug 4th Wednesday August 5th Week 2 ndash Tuesday Aug 11th Wednesday Aug 12th

For those not familiar with the trip I am adding a sample of what the trip is like

Day one - Casino bus pickup at Steinbach 830 am - Ste Anne 840 - Paradise Village 900 am

- Arrive McPhillips Street Station in the morning 1000 am - arrive at Club Regent 230 pm and book in at the Canad Inn

- Early evening - arrive at 1st pavilion for an appetizer drink and show - After the show bus will take us to second pavilion for dinner drink and the show there - Finally our bus will take us to a third pavilion for dessert drink and their performance - When the evening is over our bus will take us back to Canad Inn at Club Regent for our overnight stay Your time is your own to do as you please until check out time the following day

Day two -enjoy Club Regent (or do whatever you wish) before leaving for the trip home at 200 pm Pavilions will be the choice of organizers (because of timing) Early commitment insures better pavilion choice Cost includes bus usual Casino Bus benefits of giveaways bingo etc (not the $1000 given on the free monthly trips) pavilion entrance fees food and drink at the pavilions shows and overnight stay ALL THIS FOR ONLY $8500 per person (based on double occupancy) Singles are welcome too but there is an additional charge of $5000 for hotel room unless you are sharing with someone This fantastic deal is only available through our casino bus and overnight stay is mandatory Offer is open to all you do not need to live in Paradise Village so let your friends know too (must be over 18)

There is no report for this month Larry Trush

So I have found some history on Square Dancing

for your reading pleasure Debbie Kokil Editor

Square dance is a dance for four couples (eight dancers) arranged in a square with one couple on each side facing the middle of the square Square dances were first documented in 17th-century England but were also quite common in France and throughout Europe They came to North America with the European settlers and have undergone considerable development there In some countries and regions through preservation and repetition square dances have attained the status of a folk dance

Traditional square dance which is also called old time square dance Traditional square dance is not standardized and can be subdivided into regional styles The New England and Appalachian styles have been particularly well documented both have survived to the present time There are several other styles some have survived or been revived in recent years some have not Traditional square dance is frequently presented in alternation with contra dances (particularly in revival groups) or with some form of freestyle couple dancing (at surviving local events) One ancestor of New England style square dances is the quadrille and older New England callers occasionally refer to their squares as ldquoquadrillesrdquo Where traditional square dance has been revived it encompasses a wide range of new choreography

Modern Western square dance (MWSD) which is also called Western square dance contemporary Western square dance or modern American square dance Modern Western square dance evolved from the Western style of traditional square dance from about 1940 to 1960 Traditional Western square dancing was promoted beginning in the 1930s by Lloyd Shaw who solicited definitions from callers across the country in order to preserve that dance form and make it available to other teachers Since the 1970s modern Western square dance has been promoted and standardized by Callerlab the International Association of Square Dance Callers Because of this standardization it is possible for anyone with the proper training to enjoy Modern Western square dancing in many countries around the world although instruction is typically given in the local language the calls are always in English Modern Western square dance is sometimes presented in alternation with round dances

My New Exercise Routine

Begin by standing on a comfortable surface where you have plenty of room at each side With a 5-lb potato bag in each hand extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long

as you can Try to reach a full minute and then relax

Each day youll find that you can hold this position for just a bit

longer

After a couple of weeks move up to 10-lb potato bags

Then try 50-lb potato bags and eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb potato bag in each hand and hold your arms

straight for more than a full minute (Im at this level)

After you feel confident at that level put a potato in each bag

High Cholesterol

Cholesterol is a waxy substance thats found in the fats (lipids) in your blood While your body

needs cholesterol to continue building healthy cells having high cholesterol can increase your risk of heart disease

When you have high cholesterol you may develop fatty deposits in your blood vessels Eventually these deposits make it difficult for enough blood to flow through your arteries Your heart may not get as much oxygen-rich blood as it needs which increases the risk of a heart attack Decreased blood flow to your brain can cause a stroke

High cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia) can be inherited but its often the result of unhealthy lifestyle choices and thus preventable and treatable A healthy diet regular exercise and sometimes medication can go a long way toward reducing high cholesterol

High cholesterol has no symptoms A blood test is the only way to detect high cholesterol

When to see a doctor

Ask your doctor for a baseline cholesterol test at age 20 and then have your cholesterol retested at least every five years If your test results arent within desirable ranges your doctor may recommend more frequent measurements Your doctor may also suggest you have more frequent tests if you have a family history of high cholesterol heart disease or other risk factors such as smoking diabetes or high blood pressure

Lifestyle changes are essential to improve your cholesterol level To bring your numbers down lose excess weight eat healthy foods and increase your physical activity If you smoke quit

Lose extra pounds

Excess weight contributes to high cholesterol Losing even 5 to 10 pounds can help lower total cholesterol levels Start by taking an honest look at your eating habits and daily routine Consider your challenges to weight loss mdash and ways to overcome them Set long-term sustainable goals

Eat heart-healthy foods

What you eat has a direct impact on your cholesterol level In fact a diet rich in fiber and other cholesterol-lowering foods may help lower cholesterol as much as statin medication for some people

bullChoose healthier fats Saturated fat and trans fat raise your total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol Get no more than 10 percent of your daily calories from saturated fat Monounsaturated fat mdash found in olive peanut and canola oils mdash is a healthier option Almonds and walnuts are other sources of healthy fat

33

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

bullEliminate trans fats Trans fats which are often found in margarines and commercially baked cookies crackers and snack cakes are particularly bad for your cholesterol levels Not only do trans fats increase your total LDL (bad) cholesterol but they also lower your HDL (good) cholesterol

You may have noticed more food labels now market their products as trans fat-free But dont rely only on this label In the United States if a food contains less than 05 grams of trans fat a serving it can be marked trans fat-free It may not seem like much but if you eat a lot of foods with a small amount of trans fat it can add up quickly Instead read the ingredients list If a food contains a partially hydrogenated oil thats a trans fat and you should look for an alternative

bullLimit your dietary cholesterol Aim for no more than 300 milligrams (mg) of cholesterol a day mdash or less than 200 mg if you have heart disease The most concentrated sources of cholesterol include organ meats egg yolks and whole milk products Use lean cuts of meat egg substitutes and skim milk instead

bullSelect whole grains Various nutrients found in whole grains promote heart health Choose whole-grain breads whole-wheat pasta whole-wheat flour and brown rice Oatmeal and oat bran are other good choices

bullStock up on fruits and vegetables Fruits and vegetables are rich in dietary fiber which can help lower cholesterol Snack on seasonal fruits Experiment with vegetable-based casseroles soups and stir-fries

bullEat heart-healthy fish Some types of fish mdash such as cod tuna and halibut mdash have less total fat saturated fat and cholesterol than do meat and poultry Salmon mackerel and herring are rich in omega-3 fatty acids which help promote heart health

bullDrink alcohol only in moderation Moderate use of alcohol may increase your levels of HDL cholesterol mdash but the benefits arent strong enough to recommend alcohol for anyone who does-nt drink already If you choose to drink do so in moderation This means no more than one drink a day for women and one to two drinks a day for men

Exercise regularly

Regular exercise can help improve your cholesterol levels With your doctors OK work up to 30 to 60 minutes of exercise a day Take a brisk daily walk Ride your bike Swim laps To maintain your motivation keep it fun Find an exercise buddy or join an exercise group And you dont need to get all 30 to 60 minutes in one exercise session If you can squeeze in three to six 10-minute intervals of exercise youll still get some cholesterol-lowering benefits

Dont smoke

If you smoke stop Quitting can improve your HDL cholesterol level And the benefits dont end there Just 20 minutes after quitting your blood pressure decreases Within 24 hours your risk of a heart attack decreases Within one year your risk of heart disease is half that of a smokers Within 15 years your risk of heart disease is similar to that of someone whos never smoked

Four old retired men are walking down a

street in Lakeland Florida

They turn a corner and see a sign that says

Old Timers Bar - ALL drinks 10 cents

They look at each other and then go in thinking this is too good to be true

The old bartender says in a voice that carries across the room

Come on in and let me pour one for you Whatll it be gentlemen

Theres a fully stocked bar so each of the men orders a martini

In no time the bartender serves up four iced martinis shaken not stirred and says

Thatll be 10 cents each please

The four guys stare at the bartender for a moment then at each other

They cant believe their good luck

They pay the 40 cents finish their martinis and order another round

Again four excellent martinis are produced with the bartender again saying

ldquoThatrsquos 40 cents please

They pay the 40 cents but their curiosity gets the better of them

Theyve each had two martinis and havent even spent a dollar yet

Finally one of them says How can you afford to serve martinis as good as these for a dime a piece

Im a retired tailor from Orlando the bartender says and I always wanted to own a bar

Last year I hit the Lottery Jackpot for $125 million and decided to open this place

Every drink costs a dime Wine liquor beer its all the same

Wow Thats some story one of the men says

As the four of them sip at their martinis they cant help noticing seven other people

at the end of the bar who dont have any drinks in front of them and havent ordered

anything the whole time theyve been there

Nodding at the seven at the end of the bar

one of the men asks the Bartender Whats with them

The bartender says ldquoTheyrsquore retired people from CANADA

Theyrsquore waiting for Happy Hour when drinks are half-price

plus they have coupons

Excerpts from a Catrsquos Diaryhellip

Day 752 - My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects They dine lavishly on fresh meat while I am forced to eat dry cereal The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape and the mild satisfaction I get from ruining the occasional piece of furniture Tomorrow I may eat another house plant

Day 761 - Today my attempt to kill my captors by weaving around their feet while they were walking almost succeeded must try this at the top of the stairs In an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors I once again induced myself to vomit on their favorite chairmust try on their bed

Day 765 - Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body in attempt to make them aware of what I am capable of and to try to strike fear into their hearts They only cooed and condescended about what a good little cat I wasHmmmm Not working according to plan

Day 768 - I am finally aware of how sadistic they are For no good reason I was chosen for the water torture This time however it included a burning foamy chemical called ldquoshampoordquo What sick minds could invent such a liquid My only consolation is the piece of thumb still stuck between my teeth

Day 774 - I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe snitches The dog is routinely released and seems more than happy to return He is obviously a half-wit

park bench crying

I asked him ldquoWhy are you

cryingrdquo

He told me ldquoI am married to

a young beautiful woman

that means everything to

But he just kept sobbing

uncontrollably

He continued ldquoWe make passionate love every dayrdquo

I said ldquoThen why are you cryingrdquo

Paradise Village Resident Barb Prior

Osteoporosis is the condition when the bones become increas-

ingly porous leading to the risk of fractures especially of the wrists

hips or spinal vertebrae (stooped posture or dowagers hump)

This condition affects both women and men Approximately 50

of postmenopausal women are at risk and about 20 of men over

the age of 60 years

Bone density begins to reduce for everyone after it peaks in our late

20s By the age of 35 years our bones become gradually weaker

Osteoporosis occurs when there is an imbalance between new

bone formation and old bone re-absorption

Calcium is essential for proper function of the heart brain and other

organs The body re-absorbs calcium that is stored in the bones to

maintain adequate calcium levels in the blood If your calcium

intake is not sufficient bone production and bone tissue may suffer

resulting in weaker brittle bones If this bone loss occurs over an

extended period of many years it can result in serious damage to

bone health

Risk factors that cannot be modified Age

Race (Caucasians and Asians are at greater risk)

Small bone structure

Family history of osteoporosis

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS

Since bone loss is gradual over many years there are no signs or symptoms in the early stages After many years of

bone loss there may be dull pain in the bones and muscles particularly low back pain or neck pain Most people

become aware that they have osteoporosis when they experience a fracture after a minor fall A slip or strain or even

a violent cough or sneeze may result in a fracture

TREATMENT AND PREVENTION

The risk of a fracture can be lowered with lifestyle changes along with dietary andor supplements to prevent bone loss

Women over 50 and men over 70 require 1000-1200mg of calcium a day

Vitamin D - the sunshine vitamin is needed to increase bone mass In this northern climate we do not get enough

from the sun Foods containing Vitamin D include fortified milk egg yolks saltwater fish and liver

The daily recommended dose of Vitamin D for both women and men over the age of 60 years is 800-1200mgday

Quit smoking

Drink alcohol in moderation (Poor nutrition and increased risk of falls are factors here)

Exercise - weight-bearing exercises or simply walking promotes healthy bones and strengthens the muscles to

support our bones and reduces the risk of falls

If you suspect you may be at risk of osteoporosis

consult your doctor for further evaluation and treatment

Risk factors that can be modified Inactivity or immobility

Reduced Calcium and Vitamin D intake

Smoking

Excessive alcohol intake

Eating disorders (anorexia andor bulimia)

Reduced estrogen production

Just want to take this opportunity to thank everyone for supporting the two South

Beach trips that have been planned to date We sure have a lot of fun donrsquot we

I would be willing to do this overnight trip every second month if that would be your

wish Let me know if this would interest you as bookings for buses and hotel

need to be done quite a bit in advance If there is interest the next one would be

March 3031

For those not familiar with this trip with the rebates it is pretty much a free trip and a

nice getaway in a lovely hotelhellip Call for details

Back by popular demand IF there is enough interest

The last two years have been awesome

Folklorama 2015 is requesting confirmation of trips already so I need to know how many people are interested in

attending I do have a list of people who called some time ago and indicated interest but I need quite a few more to make it work We are able to keep the cost the same as last year and anyone who has gone in the past will tell you it is a real bargain

If you would like the opportunity to go to Folklorama without the line-ups hassle of parking enjoy preferential treatment at the pavilions and also get to enjoy both of the Casinos of Winnipeg and stay at the Club Regent Casino Hotel by Canad Inn give Marilyn a call right away (204-326-4939) I will plan for one trip only at this time and only consider both weeks if there is a lot of interest shown As in the past I will need commitments early If you are not sure if you are on my list call The dates I have in mind are Week 1 ndash Tuesday Aug 4th Wednesday August 5th Week 2 ndash Tuesday Aug 11th Wednesday Aug 12th

For those not familiar with the trip I am adding a sample of what the trip is like

Day one - Casino bus pickup at Steinbach 830 am - Ste Anne 840 - Paradise Village 900 am

- Arrive McPhillips Street Station in the morning 1000 am - arrive at Club Regent 230 pm and book in at the Canad Inn

- Early evening - arrive at 1st pavilion for an appetizer drink and show - After the show bus will take us to second pavilion for dinner drink and the show there - Finally our bus will take us to a third pavilion for dessert drink and their performance - When the evening is over our bus will take us back to Canad Inn at Club Regent for our overnight stay Your time is your own to do as you please until check out time the following day

Day two -enjoy Club Regent (or do whatever you wish) before leaving for the trip home at 200 pm Pavilions will be the choice of organizers (because of timing) Early commitment insures better pavilion choice Cost includes bus usual Casino Bus benefits of giveaways bingo etc (not the $1000 given on the free monthly trips) pavilion entrance fees food and drink at the pavilions shows and overnight stay ALL THIS FOR ONLY $8500 per person (based on double occupancy) Singles are welcome too but there is an additional charge of $5000 for hotel room unless you are sharing with someone This fantastic deal is only available through our casino bus and overnight stay is mandatory Offer is open to all you do not need to live in Paradise Village so let your friends know too (must be over 18)

There is no report for this month Larry Trush

So I have found some history on Square Dancing

for your reading pleasure Debbie Kokil Editor

Square dance is a dance for four couples (eight dancers) arranged in a square with one couple on each side facing the middle of the square Square dances were first documented in 17th-century England but were also quite common in France and throughout Europe They came to North America with the European settlers and have undergone considerable development there In some countries and regions through preservation and repetition square dances have attained the status of a folk dance

Traditional square dance which is also called old time square dance Traditional square dance is not standardized and can be subdivided into regional styles The New England and Appalachian styles have been particularly well documented both have survived to the present time There are several other styles some have survived or been revived in recent years some have not Traditional square dance is frequently presented in alternation with contra dances (particularly in revival groups) or with some form of freestyle couple dancing (at surviving local events) One ancestor of New England style square dances is the quadrille and older New England callers occasionally refer to their squares as ldquoquadrillesrdquo Where traditional square dance has been revived it encompasses a wide range of new choreography

Modern Western square dance (MWSD) which is also called Western square dance contemporary Western square dance or modern American square dance Modern Western square dance evolved from the Western style of traditional square dance from about 1940 to 1960 Traditional Western square dancing was promoted beginning in the 1930s by Lloyd Shaw who solicited definitions from callers across the country in order to preserve that dance form and make it available to other teachers Since the 1970s modern Western square dance has been promoted and standardized by Callerlab the International Association of Square Dance Callers Because of this standardization it is possible for anyone with the proper training to enjoy Modern Western square dancing in many countries around the world although instruction is typically given in the local language the calls are always in English Modern Western square dance is sometimes presented in alternation with round dances

My New Exercise Routine

Begin by standing on a comfortable surface where you have plenty of room at each side With a 5-lb potato bag in each hand extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long

as you can Try to reach a full minute and then relax

Each day youll find that you can hold this position for just a bit

longer

After a couple of weeks move up to 10-lb potato bags

Then try 50-lb potato bags and eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb potato bag in each hand and hold your arms

straight for more than a full minute (Im at this level)

After you feel confident at that level put a potato in each bag

High Cholesterol

Cholesterol is a waxy substance thats found in the fats (lipids) in your blood While your body

needs cholesterol to continue building healthy cells having high cholesterol can increase your risk of heart disease

When you have high cholesterol you may develop fatty deposits in your blood vessels Eventually these deposits make it difficult for enough blood to flow through your arteries Your heart may not get as much oxygen-rich blood as it needs which increases the risk of a heart attack Decreased blood flow to your brain can cause a stroke

High cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia) can be inherited but its often the result of unhealthy lifestyle choices and thus preventable and treatable A healthy diet regular exercise and sometimes medication can go a long way toward reducing high cholesterol

High cholesterol has no symptoms A blood test is the only way to detect high cholesterol

When to see a doctor

Ask your doctor for a baseline cholesterol test at age 20 and then have your cholesterol retested at least every five years If your test results arent within desirable ranges your doctor may recommend more frequent measurements Your doctor may also suggest you have more frequent tests if you have a family history of high cholesterol heart disease or other risk factors such as smoking diabetes or high blood pressure

Lifestyle changes are essential to improve your cholesterol level To bring your numbers down lose excess weight eat healthy foods and increase your physical activity If you smoke quit

Lose extra pounds

Excess weight contributes to high cholesterol Losing even 5 to 10 pounds can help lower total cholesterol levels Start by taking an honest look at your eating habits and daily routine Consider your challenges to weight loss mdash and ways to overcome them Set long-term sustainable goals

Eat heart-healthy foods

What you eat has a direct impact on your cholesterol level In fact a diet rich in fiber and other cholesterol-lowering foods may help lower cholesterol as much as statin medication for some people

bullChoose healthier fats Saturated fat and trans fat raise your total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol Get no more than 10 percent of your daily calories from saturated fat Monounsaturated fat mdash found in olive peanut and canola oils mdash is a healthier option Almonds and walnuts are other sources of healthy fat

33

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

bullEliminate trans fats Trans fats which are often found in margarines and commercially baked cookies crackers and snack cakes are particularly bad for your cholesterol levels Not only do trans fats increase your total LDL (bad) cholesterol but they also lower your HDL (good) cholesterol

You may have noticed more food labels now market their products as trans fat-free But dont rely only on this label In the United States if a food contains less than 05 grams of trans fat a serving it can be marked trans fat-free It may not seem like much but if you eat a lot of foods with a small amount of trans fat it can add up quickly Instead read the ingredients list If a food contains a partially hydrogenated oil thats a trans fat and you should look for an alternative

bullLimit your dietary cholesterol Aim for no more than 300 milligrams (mg) of cholesterol a day mdash or less than 200 mg if you have heart disease The most concentrated sources of cholesterol include organ meats egg yolks and whole milk products Use lean cuts of meat egg substitutes and skim milk instead

bullSelect whole grains Various nutrients found in whole grains promote heart health Choose whole-grain breads whole-wheat pasta whole-wheat flour and brown rice Oatmeal and oat bran are other good choices

bullStock up on fruits and vegetables Fruits and vegetables are rich in dietary fiber which can help lower cholesterol Snack on seasonal fruits Experiment with vegetable-based casseroles soups and stir-fries

bullEat heart-healthy fish Some types of fish mdash such as cod tuna and halibut mdash have less total fat saturated fat and cholesterol than do meat and poultry Salmon mackerel and herring are rich in omega-3 fatty acids which help promote heart health

bullDrink alcohol only in moderation Moderate use of alcohol may increase your levels of HDL cholesterol mdash but the benefits arent strong enough to recommend alcohol for anyone who does-nt drink already If you choose to drink do so in moderation This means no more than one drink a day for women and one to two drinks a day for men

Exercise regularly

Regular exercise can help improve your cholesterol levels With your doctors OK work up to 30 to 60 minutes of exercise a day Take a brisk daily walk Ride your bike Swim laps To maintain your motivation keep it fun Find an exercise buddy or join an exercise group And you dont need to get all 30 to 60 minutes in one exercise session If you can squeeze in three to six 10-minute intervals of exercise youll still get some cholesterol-lowering benefits

Dont smoke

If you smoke stop Quitting can improve your HDL cholesterol level And the benefits dont end there Just 20 minutes after quitting your blood pressure decreases Within 24 hours your risk of a heart attack decreases Within one year your risk of heart disease is half that of a smokers Within 15 years your risk of heart disease is similar to that of someone whos never smoked

Four old retired men are walking down a

street in Lakeland Florida

They turn a corner and see a sign that says

Old Timers Bar - ALL drinks 10 cents

They look at each other and then go in thinking this is too good to be true

The old bartender says in a voice that carries across the room

Come on in and let me pour one for you Whatll it be gentlemen

Theres a fully stocked bar so each of the men orders a martini

In no time the bartender serves up four iced martinis shaken not stirred and says

Thatll be 10 cents each please

The four guys stare at the bartender for a moment then at each other

They cant believe their good luck

They pay the 40 cents finish their martinis and order another round

Again four excellent martinis are produced with the bartender again saying

ldquoThatrsquos 40 cents please

They pay the 40 cents but their curiosity gets the better of them

Theyve each had two martinis and havent even spent a dollar yet

Finally one of them says How can you afford to serve martinis as good as these for a dime a piece

Im a retired tailor from Orlando the bartender says and I always wanted to own a bar

Last year I hit the Lottery Jackpot for $125 million and decided to open this place

Every drink costs a dime Wine liquor beer its all the same

Wow Thats some story one of the men says

As the four of them sip at their martinis they cant help noticing seven other people

at the end of the bar who dont have any drinks in front of them and havent ordered

anything the whole time theyve been there

Nodding at the seven at the end of the bar

one of the men asks the Bartender Whats with them

The bartender says ldquoTheyrsquore retired people from CANADA

Theyrsquore waiting for Happy Hour when drinks are half-price

plus they have coupons

Excerpts from a Catrsquos Diaryhellip

Day 752 - My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects They dine lavishly on fresh meat while I am forced to eat dry cereal The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape and the mild satisfaction I get from ruining the occasional piece of furniture Tomorrow I may eat another house plant

Day 761 - Today my attempt to kill my captors by weaving around their feet while they were walking almost succeeded must try this at the top of the stairs In an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors I once again induced myself to vomit on their favorite chairmust try on their bed

Day 765 - Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body in attempt to make them aware of what I am capable of and to try to strike fear into their hearts They only cooed and condescended about what a good little cat I wasHmmmm Not working according to plan

Day 768 - I am finally aware of how sadistic they are For no good reason I was chosen for the water torture This time however it included a burning foamy chemical called ldquoshampoordquo What sick minds could invent such a liquid My only consolation is the piece of thumb still stuck between my teeth

Day 774 - I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe snitches The dog is routinely released and seems more than happy to return He is obviously a half-wit

The boss was concerned

that his employees werenrsquot

so he tried an old fashioned

method of persuasion

He brought in a sign that

said ldquoIrsquom the Bossrdquo and

taped it to his door

After lunch he noticed

someone had taped

another sign under his

An old man was sitting on a

park bench crying

I asked him ldquoWhy are you

cryingrdquo

He told me ldquoI am married to

a young beautiful woman

that means everything to

merdquo

But he just kept sobbing

uncontrollably

He continued ldquoWe make passionate love every dayrdquo

I said ldquoThen why are you cryingrdquo

He said ldquoBecause I for forgot where I liverdquo

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

Submitted by

Paradise Village Resident Barb Prior

Osteoporosis is the condition when the bones become increas-

ingly porous leading to the risk of fractures especially of the wrists

hips or spinal vertebrae (stooped posture or dowagers hump)

This condition affects both women and men Approximately 50

of postmenopausal women are at risk and about 20 of men over

the age of 60 years

Bone density begins to reduce for everyone after it peaks in our late

20s By the age of 35 years our bones become gradually weaker

Osteoporosis occurs when there is an imbalance between new

bone formation and old bone re-absorption

Calcium is essential for proper function of the heart brain and other

organs The body re-absorbs calcium that is stored in the bones to

maintain adequate calcium levels in the blood If your calcium

intake is not sufficient bone production and bone tissue may suffer

resulting in weaker brittle bones If this bone loss occurs over an

extended period of many years it can result in serious damage to

bone health

Risk factors that cannot be modified Age

Race (Caucasians and Asians are at greater risk)

Small bone structure

Family history of osteoporosis

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS

Since bone loss is gradual over many years there are no signs or symptoms in the early stages After many years of

bone loss there may be dull pain in the bones and muscles particularly low back pain or neck pain Most people

become aware that they have osteoporosis when they experience a fracture after a minor fall A slip or strain or even

a violent cough or sneeze may result in a fracture

TREATMENT AND PREVENTION

The risk of a fracture can be lowered with lifestyle changes along with dietary andor supplements to prevent bone loss

Women over 50 and men over 70 require 1000-1200mg of calcium a day

Vitamin D - the sunshine vitamin is needed to increase bone mass In this northern climate we do not get enough

from the sun Foods containing Vitamin D include fortified milk egg yolks saltwater fish and liver

The daily recommended dose of Vitamin D for both women and men over the age of 60 years is 800-1200mgday

Quit smoking

Drink alcohol in moderation (Poor nutrition and increased risk of falls are factors here)

Exercise - weight-bearing exercises or simply walking promotes healthy bones and strengthens the muscles to

support our bones and reduces the risk of falls

If you suspect you may be at risk of osteoporosis

consult your doctor for further evaluation and treatment

Risk factors that can be modified Inactivity or immobility

Reduced Calcium and Vitamin D intake

Smoking

Excessive alcohol intake

Eating disorders (anorexia andor bulimia)

Reduced estrogen production

Just want to take this opportunity to thank everyone for supporting the two South

Beach trips that have been planned to date We sure have a lot of fun donrsquot we

I would be willing to do this overnight trip every second month if that would be your

wish Let me know if this would interest you as bookings for buses and hotel

need to be done quite a bit in advance If there is interest the next one would be

March 3031

For those not familiar with this trip with the rebates it is pretty much a free trip and a

nice getaway in a lovely hotelhellip Call for details

Back by popular demand IF there is enough interest

The last two years have been awesome

Folklorama 2015 is requesting confirmation of trips already so I need to know how many people are interested in

attending I do have a list of people who called some time ago and indicated interest but I need quite a few more to make it work We are able to keep the cost the same as last year and anyone who has gone in the past will tell you it is a real bargain

If you would like the opportunity to go to Folklorama without the line-ups hassle of parking enjoy preferential treatment at the pavilions and also get to enjoy both of the Casinos of Winnipeg and stay at the Club Regent Casino Hotel by Canad Inn give Marilyn a call right away (204-326-4939) I will plan for one trip only at this time and only consider both weeks if there is a lot of interest shown As in the past I will need commitments early If you are not sure if you are on my list call The dates I have in mind are Week 1 ndash Tuesday Aug 4th Wednesday August 5th Week 2 ndash Tuesday Aug 11th Wednesday Aug 12th

For those not familiar with the trip I am adding a sample of what the trip is like

Day one - Casino bus pickup at Steinbach 830 am - Ste Anne 840 - Paradise Village 900 am

- Arrive McPhillips Street Station in the morning 1000 am - arrive at Club Regent 230 pm and book in at the Canad Inn

- Early evening - arrive at 1st pavilion for an appetizer drink and show - After the show bus will take us to second pavilion for dinner drink and the show there - Finally our bus will take us to a third pavilion for dessert drink and their performance - When the evening is over our bus will take us back to Canad Inn at Club Regent for our overnight stay Your time is your own to do as you please until check out time the following day

Day two -enjoy Club Regent (or do whatever you wish) before leaving for the trip home at 200 pm Pavilions will be the choice of organizers (because of timing) Early commitment insures better pavilion choice Cost includes bus usual Casino Bus benefits of giveaways bingo etc (not the $1000 given on the free monthly trips) pavilion entrance fees food and drink at the pavilions shows and overnight stay ALL THIS FOR ONLY $8500 per person (based on double occupancy) Singles are welcome too but there is an additional charge of $5000 for hotel room unless you are sharing with someone This fantastic deal is only available through our casino bus and overnight stay is mandatory Offer is open to all you do not need to live in Paradise Village so let your friends know too (must be over 18)

There is no report for this month Larry Trush

So I have found some history on Square Dancing

for your reading pleasure Debbie Kokil Editor

Square dance is a dance for four couples (eight dancers) arranged in a square with one couple on each side facing the middle of the square Square dances were first documented in 17th-century England but were also quite common in France and throughout Europe They came to North America with the European settlers and have undergone considerable development there In some countries and regions through preservation and repetition square dances have attained the status of a folk dance

Traditional square dance which is also called old time square dance Traditional square dance is not standardized and can be subdivided into regional styles The New England and Appalachian styles have been particularly well documented both have survived to the present time There are several other styles some have survived or been revived in recent years some have not Traditional square dance is frequently presented in alternation with contra dances (particularly in revival groups) or with some form of freestyle couple dancing (at surviving local events) One ancestor of New England style square dances is the quadrille and older New England callers occasionally refer to their squares as ldquoquadrillesrdquo Where traditional square dance has been revived it encompasses a wide range of new choreography

Modern Western square dance (MWSD) which is also called Western square dance contemporary Western square dance or modern American square dance Modern Western square dance evolved from the Western style of traditional square dance from about 1940 to 1960 Traditional Western square dancing was promoted beginning in the 1930s by Lloyd Shaw who solicited definitions from callers across the country in order to preserve that dance form and make it available to other teachers Since the 1970s modern Western square dance has been promoted and standardized by Callerlab the International Association of Square Dance Callers Because of this standardization it is possible for anyone with the proper training to enjoy Modern Western square dancing in many countries around the world although instruction is typically given in the local language the calls are always in English Modern Western square dance is sometimes presented in alternation with round dances

My New Exercise Routine

Begin by standing on a comfortable surface where you have plenty of room at each side With a 5-lb potato bag in each hand extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long

as you can Try to reach a full minute and then relax

Each day youll find that you can hold this position for just a bit

longer

After a couple of weeks move up to 10-lb potato bags

Then try 50-lb potato bags and eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb potato bag in each hand and hold your arms

straight for more than a full minute (Im at this level)

After you feel confident at that level put a potato in each bag

High Cholesterol

Cholesterol is a waxy substance thats found in the fats (lipids) in your blood While your body

needs cholesterol to continue building healthy cells having high cholesterol can increase your risk of heart disease

When you have high cholesterol you may develop fatty deposits in your blood vessels Eventually these deposits make it difficult for enough blood to flow through your arteries Your heart may not get as much oxygen-rich blood as it needs which increases the risk of a heart attack Decreased blood flow to your brain can cause a stroke

High cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia) can be inherited but its often the result of unhealthy lifestyle choices and thus preventable and treatable A healthy diet regular exercise and sometimes medication can go a long way toward reducing high cholesterol

High cholesterol has no symptoms A blood test is the only way to detect high cholesterol

When to see a doctor

Ask your doctor for a baseline cholesterol test at age 20 and then have your cholesterol retested at least every five years If your test results arent within desirable ranges your doctor may recommend more frequent measurements Your doctor may also suggest you have more frequent tests if you have a family history of high cholesterol heart disease or other risk factors such as smoking diabetes or high blood pressure

Lifestyle changes are essential to improve your cholesterol level To bring your numbers down lose excess weight eat healthy foods and increase your physical activity If you smoke quit

Lose extra pounds

Excess weight contributes to high cholesterol Losing even 5 to 10 pounds can help lower total cholesterol levels Start by taking an honest look at your eating habits and daily routine Consider your challenges to weight loss mdash and ways to overcome them Set long-term sustainable goals

Eat heart-healthy foods

What you eat has a direct impact on your cholesterol level In fact a diet rich in fiber and other cholesterol-lowering foods may help lower cholesterol as much as statin medication for some people

bullChoose healthier fats Saturated fat and trans fat raise your total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol Get no more than 10 percent of your daily calories from saturated fat Monounsaturated fat mdash found in olive peanut and canola oils mdash is a healthier option Almonds and walnuts are other sources of healthy fat

33

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

bullEliminate trans fats Trans fats which are often found in margarines and commercially baked cookies crackers and snack cakes are particularly bad for your cholesterol levels Not only do trans fats increase your total LDL (bad) cholesterol but they also lower your HDL (good) cholesterol

You may have noticed more food labels now market their products as trans fat-free But dont rely only on this label In the United States if a food contains less than 05 grams of trans fat a serving it can be marked trans fat-free It may not seem like much but if you eat a lot of foods with a small amount of trans fat it can add up quickly Instead read the ingredients list If a food contains a partially hydrogenated oil thats a trans fat and you should look for an alternative

bullLimit your dietary cholesterol Aim for no more than 300 milligrams (mg) of cholesterol a day mdash or less than 200 mg if you have heart disease The most concentrated sources of cholesterol include organ meats egg yolks and whole milk products Use lean cuts of meat egg substitutes and skim milk instead

bullSelect whole grains Various nutrients found in whole grains promote heart health Choose whole-grain breads whole-wheat pasta whole-wheat flour and brown rice Oatmeal and oat bran are other good choices

bullStock up on fruits and vegetables Fruits and vegetables are rich in dietary fiber which can help lower cholesterol Snack on seasonal fruits Experiment with vegetable-based casseroles soups and stir-fries

bullEat heart-healthy fish Some types of fish mdash such as cod tuna and halibut mdash have less total fat saturated fat and cholesterol than do meat and poultry Salmon mackerel and herring are rich in omega-3 fatty acids which help promote heart health

bullDrink alcohol only in moderation Moderate use of alcohol may increase your levels of HDL cholesterol mdash but the benefits arent strong enough to recommend alcohol for anyone who does-nt drink already If you choose to drink do so in moderation This means no more than one drink a day for women and one to two drinks a day for men

Exercise regularly

Regular exercise can help improve your cholesterol levels With your doctors OK work up to 30 to 60 minutes of exercise a day Take a brisk daily walk Ride your bike Swim laps To maintain your motivation keep it fun Find an exercise buddy or join an exercise group And you dont need to get all 30 to 60 minutes in one exercise session If you can squeeze in three to six 10-minute intervals of exercise youll still get some cholesterol-lowering benefits

Dont smoke

If you smoke stop Quitting can improve your HDL cholesterol level And the benefits dont end there Just 20 minutes after quitting your blood pressure decreases Within 24 hours your risk of a heart attack decreases Within one year your risk of heart disease is half that of a smokers Within 15 years your risk of heart disease is similar to that of someone whos never smoked

Four old retired men are walking down a

street in Lakeland Florida

They turn a corner and see a sign that says

Old Timers Bar - ALL drinks 10 cents

They look at each other and then go in thinking this is too good to be true

The old bartender says in a voice that carries across the room

Come on in and let me pour one for you Whatll it be gentlemen

Theres a fully stocked bar so each of the men orders a martini

In no time the bartender serves up four iced martinis shaken not stirred and says

Thatll be 10 cents each please

The four guys stare at the bartender for a moment then at each other

They cant believe their good luck

They pay the 40 cents finish their martinis and order another round

Again four excellent martinis are produced with the bartender again saying

ldquoThatrsquos 40 cents please

They pay the 40 cents but their curiosity gets the better of them

Theyve each had two martinis and havent even spent a dollar yet

Finally one of them says How can you afford to serve martinis as good as these for a dime a piece

Im a retired tailor from Orlando the bartender says and I always wanted to own a bar

Last year I hit the Lottery Jackpot for $125 million and decided to open this place

Every drink costs a dime Wine liquor beer its all the same

Wow Thats some story one of the men says

As the four of them sip at their martinis they cant help noticing seven other people

at the end of the bar who dont have any drinks in front of them and havent ordered

anything the whole time theyve been there

Nodding at the seven at the end of the bar

one of the men asks the Bartender Whats with them

The bartender says ldquoTheyrsquore retired people from CANADA

Theyrsquore waiting for Happy Hour when drinks are half-price

plus they have coupons

Osteoporosis is the condition when the bones become increas-

ingly porous leading to the risk of fractures especially of the wrists

hips or spinal vertebrae (stooped posture or dowagers hump)

This condition affects both women and men Approximately 50

of postmenopausal women are at risk and about 20 of men over

the age of 60 years

Bone density begins to reduce for everyone after it peaks in our late

20s By the age of 35 years our bones become gradually weaker

Osteoporosis occurs when there is an imbalance between new

bone formation and old bone re-absorption

Calcium is essential for proper function of the heart brain and other

organs The body re-absorbs calcium that is stored in the bones to

maintain adequate calcium levels in the blood If your calcium

intake is not sufficient bone production and bone tissue may suffer

resulting in weaker brittle bones If this bone loss occurs over an

extended period of many years it can result in serious damage to

bone health

Risk factors that cannot be modified Age

Race (Caucasians and Asians are at greater risk)

Small bone structure

Family history of osteoporosis

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS

Since bone loss is gradual over many years there are no signs or symptoms in the early stages After many years of

bone loss there may be dull pain in the bones and muscles particularly low back pain or neck pain Most people

become aware that they have osteoporosis when they experience a fracture after a minor fall A slip or strain or even

a violent cough or sneeze may result in a fracture

TREATMENT AND PREVENTION

The risk of a fracture can be lowered with lifestyle changes along with dietary andor supplements to prevent bone loss

Women over 50 and men over 70 require 1000-1200mg of calcium a day

Vitamin D - the sunshine vitamin is needed to increase bone mass In this northern climate we do not get enough

from the sun Foods containing Vitamin D include fortified milk egg yolks saltwater fish and liver

The daily recommended dose of Vitamin D for both women and men over the age of 60 years is 800-1200mgday

Quit smoking

Drink alcohol in moderation (Poor nutrition and increased risk of falls are factors here)

Exercise - weight-bearing exercises or simply walking promotes healthy bones and strengthens the muscles to

support our bones and reduces the risk of falls

If you suspect you may be at risk of osteoporosis

consult your doctor for further evaluation and treatment

Risk factors that can be modified Inactivity or immobility

Reduced Calcium and Vitamin D intake

Smoking

Excessive alcohol intake

Eating disorders (anorexia andor bulimia)

Reduced estrogen production

Just want to take this opportunity to thank everyone for supporting the two South

Beach trips that have been planned to date We sure have a lot of fun donrsquot we

Back by popular demand IF there is enough interest

The last two years have been awesome

Folklorama 2015 is requesting confirmation of trips already so I need to know how many people are interested in

attending I do have a list of people who called some time ago and indicated interest but I need quite a few more to make it work We are able to keep the cost the same as last year and anyone who has gone in the past will tell you it is a real bargain

If you would like the opportunity to go to Folklorama without the line-ups hassle of parking enjoy preferential treatment at the pavilions and also get to enjoy both of the Casinos of Winnipeg and stay at the Club Regent Casino Hotel by Canad Inn give Marilyn a call right away (204-326-4939) I will plan for one trip only at this time and only consider both weeks if there is a lot of interest shown As in the past I will need commitments early If you are not sure if you are on my list call The dates I have in mind are Week 1 ndash Tuesday Aug 4th Wednesday August 5th Week 2 ndash Tuesday Aug 11th Wednesday Aug 12th

For those not familiar with the trip I am adding a sample of what the trip is like

Day one - Casino bus pickup at Steinbach 830 am - Ste Anne 840 - Paradise Village 900 am

- Arrive McPhillips Street Station in the morning 1000 am - arrive at Club Regent 230 pm and book in at the Canad Inn

- Early evening - arrive at 1st pavilion for an appetizer drink and show - After the show bus will take us to second pavilion for dinner drink and the show there - Finally our bus will take us to a third pavilion for dessert drink and their performance - When the evening is over our bus will take us back to Canad Inn at Club Regent for our overnight stay Your time is your own to do as you please until check out time the following day

Day two -enjoy Club Regent (or do whatever you wish) before leaving for the trip home at 200 pm Pavilions will be the choice of organizers (because of timing) Early commitment insures better pavilion choice Cost includes bus usual Casino Bus benefits of giveaways bingo etc (not the $1000 given on the free monthly trips) pavilion entrance fees food and drink at the pavilions shows and overnight stay ALL THIS FOR ONLY $8500 per person (based on double occupancy) Singles are welcome too but there is an additional charge of $5000 for hotel room unless you are sharing with someone This fantastic deal is only available through our casino bus and overnight stay is mandatory Offer is open to all you do not need to live in Paradise Village so let your friends know too (must be over 18)

There is no report for this month Larry Trush

So I have found some history on Square Dancing

for your reading pleasure Debbie Kokil Editor

Square dance is a dance for four couples (eight dancers) arranged in a square with one couple on each side facing the middle of the square Square dances were first documented in 17th-century England but were also quite common in France and throughout Europe They came to North America with the European settlers and have undergone considerable development there In some countries and regions through preservation and repetition square dances have attained the status of a folk dance

Traditional square dance which is also called old time square dance Traditional square dance is not standardized and can be subdivided into regional styles The New England and Appalachian styles have been particularly well documented both have survived to the present time There are several other styles some have survived or been revived in recent years some have not Traditional square dance is frequently presented in alternation with contra dances (particularly in revival groups) or with some form of freestyle couple dancing (at surviving local events) One ancestor of New England style square dances is the quadrille and older New England callers occasionally refer to their squares as ldquoquadrillesrdquo Where traditional square dance has been revived it encompasses a wide range of new choreography

Modern Western square dance (MWSD) which is also called Western square dance contemporary Western square dance or modern American square dance Modern Western square dance evolved from the Western style of traditional square dance from about 1940 to 1960 Traditional Western square dancing was promoted beginning in the 1930s by Lloyd Shaw who solicited definitions from callers across the country in order to preserve that dance form and make it available to other teachers Since the 1970s modern Western square dance has been promoted and standardized by Callerlab the International Association of Square Dance Callers Because of this standardization it is possible for anyone with the proper training to enjoy Modern Western square dancing in many countries around the world although instruction is typically given in the local language the calls are always in English Modern Western square dance is sometimes presented in alternation with round dances

My New Exercise Routine

Begin by standing on a comfortable surface where you have plenty of room at each side With a 5-lb potato bag in each hand extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long

as you can Try to reach a full minute and then relax

Each day youll find that you can hold this position for just a bit

longer

After a couple of weeks move up to 10-lb potato bags

Then try 50-lb potato bags and eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb potato bag in each hand and hold your arms

straight for more than a full minute (Im at this level)

After you feel confident at that level put a potato in each bag

High Cholesterol

Cholesterol is a waxy substance thats found in the fats (lipids) in your blood While your body

needs cholesterol to continue building healthy cells having high cholesterol can increase your risk of heart disease

When you have high cholesterol you may develop fatty deposits in your blood vessels Eventually these deposits make it difficult for enough blood to flow through your arteries Your heart may not get as much oxygen-rich blood as it needs which increases the risk of a heart attack Decreased blood flow to your brain can cause a stroke

High cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia) can be inherited but its often the result of unhealthy lifestyle choices and thus preventable and treatable A healthy diet regular exercise and sometimes medication can go a long way toward reducing high cholesterol

High cholesterol has no symptoms A blood test is the only way to detect high cholesterol

When to see a doctor

Ask your doctor for a baseline cholesterol test at age 20 and then have your cholesterol retested at least every five years If your test results arent within desirable ranges your doctor may recommend more frequent measurements Your doctor may also suggest you have more frequent tests if you have a family history of high cholesterol heart disease or other risk factors such as smoking diabetes or high blood pressure

Lifestyle changes are essential to improve your cholesterol level To bring your numbers down lose excess weight eat healthy foods and increase your physical activity If you smoke quit

Lose extra pounds

Excess weight contributes to high cholesterol Losing even 5 to 10 pounds can help lower total cholesterol levels Start by taking an honest look at your eating habits and daily routine Consider your challenges to weight loss mdash and ways to overcome them Set long-term sustainable goals

Eat heart-healthy foods

What you eat has a direct impact on your cholesterol level In fact a diet rich in fiber and other cholesterol-lowering foods may help lower cholesterol as much as statin medication for some people

bullChoose healthier fats Saturated fat and trans fat raise your total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol Get no more than 10 percent of your daily calories from saturated fat Monounsaturated fat mdash found in olive peanut and canola oils mdash is a healthier option Almonds and walnuts are other sources of healthy fat

33

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

bullEliminate trans fats Trans fats which are often found in margarines and commercially baked cookies crackers and snack cakes are particularly bad for your cholesterol levels Not only do trans fats increase your total LDL (bad) cholesterol but they also lower your HDL (good) cholesterol

You may have noticed more food labels now market their products as trans fat-free But dont rely only on this label In the United States if a food contains less than 05 grams of trans fat a serving it can be marked trans fat-free It may not seem like much but if you eat a lot of foods with a small amount of trans fat it can add up quickly Instead read the ingredients list If a food contains a partially hydrogenated oil thats a trans fat and you should look for an alternative

bullLimit your dietary cholesterol Aim for no more than 300 milligrams (mg) of cholesterol a day mdash or less than 200 mg if you have heart disease The most concentrated sources of cholesterol include organ meats egg yolks and whole milk products Use lean cuts of meat egg substitutes and skim milk instead

bullSelect whole grains Various nutrients found in whole grains promote heart health Choose whole-grain breads whole-wheat pasta whole-wheat flour and brown rice Oatmeal and oat bran are other good choices

bullStock up on fruits and vegetables Fruits and vegetables are rich in dietary fiber which can help lower cholesterol Snack on seasonal fruits Experiment with vegetable-based casseroles soups and stir-fries

bullEat heart-healthy fish Some types of fish mdash such as cod tuna and halibut mdash have less total fat saturated fat and cholesterol than do meat and poultry Salmon mackerel and herring are rich in omega-3 fatty acids which help promote heart health

bullDrink alcohol only in moderation Moderate use of alcohol may increase your levels of HDL cholesterol mdash but the benefits arent strong enough to recommend alcohol for anyone who does-nt drink already If you choose to drink do so in moderation This means no more than one drink a day for women and one to two drinks a day for men

Exercise regularly

Regular exercise can help improve your cholesterol levels With your doctors OK work up to 30 to 60 minutes of exercise a day Take a brisk daily walk Ride your bike Swim laps To maintain your motivation keep it fun Find an exercise buddy or join an exercise group And you dont need to get all 30 to 60 minutes in one exercise session If you can squeeze in three to six 10-minute intervals of exercise youll still get some cholesterol-lowering benefits

Dont smoke

If you smoke stop Quitting can improve your HDL cholesterol level And the benefits dont end there Just 20 minutes after quitting your blood pressure decreases Within 24 hours your risk of a heart attack decreases Within one year your risk of heart disease is half that of a smokers Within 15 years your risk of heart disease is similar to that of someone whos never smoked

Four old retired men are walking down a

street in Lakeland Florida

They turn a corner and see a sign that says

Old Timers Bar - ALL drinks 10 cents

They look at each other and then go in thinking this is too good to be true

The old bartender says in a voice that carries across the room

Come on in and let me pour one for you Whatll it be gentlemen

Theres a fully stocked bar so each of the men orders a martini

In no time the bartender serves up four iced martinis shaken not stirred and says

Thatll be 10 cents each please

The four guys stare at the bartender for a moment then at each other

They cant believe their good luck

They pay the 40 cents finish their martinis and order another round

Again four excellent martinis are produced with the bartender again saying

ldquoThatrsquos 40 cents please

They pay the 40 cents but their curiosity gets the better of them

Theyve each had two martinis and havent even spent a dollar yet

Finally one of them says How can you afford to serve martinis as good as these for a dime a piece

Im a retired tailor from Orlando the bartender says and I always wanted to own a bar

Last year I hit the Lottery Jackpot for $125 million and decided to open this place

Every drink costs a dime Wine liquor beer its all the same

Wow Thats some story one of the men says

As the four of them sip at their martinis they cant help noticing seven other people

at the end of the bar who dont have any drinks in front of them and havent ordered

anything the whole time theyve been there

Nodding at the seven at the end of the bar

one of the men asks the Bartender Whats with them

The bartender says ldquoTheyrsquore retired people from CANADA

Theyrsquore waiting for Happy Hour when drinks are half-price

plus they have coupons

I asked him ldquoWhy are you

He told me ldquoI am married to

a young beautiful woman

uncontrollably

He continued ldquoWe make passionate love every dayrdquo

I said ldquoThen why are you cryingrdquo

Submitted by

Paradise Village Resident Barb Prior

Osteoporosis is the condition when the bones become increas-

ingly porous leading to the risk of fractures especially of the wrists

hips or spinal vertebrae (stooped posture or dowagers hump)

This condition affects both women and men Approximately 50

of postmenopausal women are at risk and about 20 of men over

the age of 60 years

Bone density begins to reduce for everyone after it peaks in our late

20s By the age of 35 years our bones become gradually weaker

Osteoporosis occurs when there is an imbalance between new

bone formation and old bone re-absorption

Calcium is essential for proper function of the heart brain and other

organs The body re-absorbs calcium that is stored in the bones to

maintain adequate calcium levels in the blood If your calcium

intake is not sufficient bone production and bone tissue may suffer

resulting in weaker brittle bones If this bone loss occurs over an

extended period of many years it can result in serious damage to

bone health

Risk factors that cannot be modified Age

Race (Caucasians and Asians are at greater risk)

Small bone structure

Family history of osteoporosis

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS

Since bone loss is gradual over many years there are no signs or symptoms in the early stages After many years of

bone loss there may be dull pain in the bones and muscles particularly low back pain or neck pain Most people

become aware that they have osteoporosis when they experience a fracture after a minor fall A slip or strain or even

a violent cough or sneeze may result in a fracture

TREATMENT AND PREVENTION

The risk of a fracture can be lowered with lifestyle changes along with dietary andor supplements to prevent bone loss

Women over 50 and men over 70 require 1000-1200mg of calcium a day

Vitamin D - the sunshine vitamin is needed to increase bone mass In this northern climate we do not get enough

from the sun Foods containing Vitamin D include fortified milk egg yolks saltwater fish and liver

The daily recommended dose of Vitamin D for both women and men over the age of 60 years is 800-1200mgday

Quit smoking

Drink alcohol in moderation (Poor nutrition and increased risk of falls are factors here)

Exercise - weight-bearing exercises or simply walking promotes healthy bones and strengthens the muscles to

support our bones and reduces the risk of falls

If you suspect you may be at risk of osteoporosis

consult your doctor for further evaluation and treatment

Risk factors that can be modified Inactivity or immobility

Reduced Calcium and Vitamin D intake

Smoking

Excessive alcohol intake

Eating disorders (anorexia andor bulimia)

Reduced estrogen production

Just want to take this opportunity to thank everyone for supporting the two South

Beach trips that have been planned to date We sure have a lot of fun donrsquot we

I would be willing to do this overnight trip every second month if that would be your

wish Let me know if this would interest you as bookings for buses and hotel

need to be done quite a bit in advance If there is interest the next one would be

March 3031

For those not familiar with this trip with the rebates it is pretty much a free trip and a

nice getaway in a lovely hotelhellip Call for details

Back by popular demand IF there is enough interest

The last two years have been awesome

Folklorama 2015 is requesting confirmation of trips already so I need to know how many people are interested in

attending I do have a list of people who called some time ago and indicated interest but I need quite a few more to make it work We are able to keep the cost the same as last year and anyone who has gone in the past will tell you it is a real bargain

If you would like the opportunity to go to Folklorama without the line-ups hassle of parking enjoy preferential treatment at the pavilions and also get to enjoy both of the Casinos of Winnipeg and stay at the Club Regent Casino Hotel by Canad Inn give Marilyn a call right away (204-326-4939) I will plan for one trip only at this time and only consider both weeks if there is a lot of interest shown As in the past I will need commitments early If you are not sure if you are on my list call The dates I have in mind are Week 1 ndash Tuesday Aug 4th Wednesday August 5th Week 2 ndash Tuesday Aug 11th Wednesday Aug 12th

For those not familiar with the trip I am adding a sample of what the trip is like

Day one - Casino bus pickup at Steinbach 830 am - Ste Anne 840 - Paradise Village 900 am

- Arrive McPhillips Street Station in the morning 1000 am - arrive at Club Regent 230 pm and book in at the Canad Inn

- Early evening - arrive at 1st pavilion for an appetizer drink and show - After the show bus will take us to second pavilion for dinner drink and the show there - Finally our bus will take us to a third pavilion for dessert drink and their performance - When the evening is over our bus will take us back to Canad Inn at Club Regent for our overnight stay Your time is your own to do as you please until check out time the following day

Day two -enjoy Club Regent (or do whatever you wish) before leaving for the trip home at 200 pm Pavilions will be the choice of organizers (because of timing) Early commitment insures better pavilion choice Cost includes bus usual Casino Bus benefits of giveaways bingo etc (not the $1000 given on the free monthly trips) pavilion entrance fees food and drink at the pavilions shows and overnight stay ALL THIS FOR ONLY $8500 per person (based on double occupancy) Singles are welcome too but there is an additional charge of $5000 for hotel room unless you are sharing with someone This fantastic deal is only available through our casino bus and overnight stay is mandatory Offer is open to all you do not need to live in Paradise Village so let your friends know too (must be over 18)

There is no report for this month Larry Trush

So I have found some history on Square Dancing

for your reading pleasure Debbie Kokil Editor

Square dance is a dance for four couples (eight dancers) arranged in a square with one couple on each side facing the middle of the square Square dances were first documented in 17th-century England but were also quite common in France and throughout Europe They came to North America with the European settlers and have undergone considerable development there In some countries and regions through preservation and repetition square dances have attained the status of a folk dance

Traditional square dance which is also called old time square dance Traditional square dance is not standardized and can be subdivided into regional styles The New England and Appalachian styles have been particularly well documented both have survived to the present time There are several other styles some have survived or been revived in recent years some have not Traditional square dance is frequently presented in alternation with contra dances (particularly in revival groups) or with some form of freestyle couple dancing (at surviving local events) One ancestor of New England style square dances is the quadrille and older New England callers occasionally refer to their squares as ldquoquadrillesrdquo Where traditional square dance has been revived it encompasses a wide range of new choreography

Modern Western square dance (MWSD) which is also called Western square dance contemporary Western square dance or modern American square dance Modern Western square dance evolved from the Western style of traditional square dance from about 1940 to 1960 Traditional Western square dancing was promoted beginning in the 1930s by Lloyd Shaw who solicited definitions from callers across the country in order to preserve that dance form and make it available to other teachers Since the 1970s modern Western square dance has been promoted and standardized by Callerlab the International Association of Square Dance Callers Because of this standardization it is possible for anyone with the proper training to enjoy Modern Western square dancing in many countries around the world although instruction is typically given in the local language the calls are always in English Modern Western square dance is sometimes presented in alternation with round dances

My New Exercise Routine

Begin by standing on a comfortable surface where you have plenty of room at each side With a 5-lb potato bag in each hand extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long

as you can Try to reach a full minute and then relax

Each day youll find that you can hold this position for just a bit

longer

After a couple of weeks move up to 10-lb potato bags

Then try 50-lb potato bags and eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb potato bag in each hand and hold your arms

straight for more than a full minute (Im at this level)

After you feel confident at that level put a potato in each bag

High Cholesterol

Cholesterol is a waxy substance thats found in the fats (lipids) in your blood While your body

needs cholesterol to continue building healthy cells having high cholesterol can increase your risk of heart disease

When you have high cholesterol you may develop fatty deposits in your blood vessels Eventually these deposits make it difficult for enough blood to flow through your arteries Your heart may not get as much oxygen-rich blood as it needs which increases the risk of a heart attack Decreased blood flow to your brain can cause a stroke

High cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia) can be inherited but its often the result of unhealthy lifestyle choices and thus preventable and treatable A healthy diet regular exercise and sometimes medication can go a long way toward reducing high cholesterol

High cholesterol has no symptoms A blood test is the only way to detect high cholesterol

When to see a doctor

Ask your doctor for a baseline cholesterol test at age 20 and then have your cholesterol retested at least every five years If your test results arent within desirable ranges your doctor may recommend more frequent measurements Your doctor may also suggest you have more frequent tests if you have a family history of high cholesterol heart disease or other risk factors such as smoking diabetes or high blood pressure

Lifestyle changes are essential to improve your cholesterol level To bring your numbers down lose excess weight eat healthy foods and increase your physical activity If you smoke quit

Lose extra pounds

Excess weight contributes to high cholesterol Losing even 5 to 10 pounds can help lower total cholesterol levels Start by taking an honest look at your eating habits and daily routine Consider your challenges to weight loss mdash and ways to overcome them Set long-term sustainable goals

Eat heart-healthy foods

What you eat has a direct impact on your cholesterol level In fact a diet rich in fiber and other cholesterol-lowering foods may help lower cholesterol as much as statin medication for some people

bullChoose healthier fats Saturated fat and trans fat raise your total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol Get no more than 10 percent of your daily calories from saturated fat Monounsaturated fat mdash found in olive peanut and canola oils mdash is a healthier option Almonds and walnuts are other sources of healthy fat

33

bullEliminate trans fats Trans fats which are often found in margarines and commercially baked cookies crackers and snack cakes are particularly bad for your cholesterol levels Not only do trans fats increase your total LDL (bad) cholesterol but they also lower your HDL (good) cholesterol

You may have noticed more food labels now market their products as trans fat-free But dont rely only on this label In the United States if a food contains less than 05 grams of trans fat a serving it can be marked trans fat-free It may not seem like much but if you eat a lot of foods with a small amount of trans fat it can add up quickly Instead read the ingredients list If a food contains a partially hydrogenated oil thats a trans fat and you should look for an alternative

bullLimit your dietary cholesterol Aim for no more than 300 milligrams (mg) of cholesterol a day mdash or less than 200 mg if you have heart disease The most concentrated sources of cholesterol include organ meats egg yolks and whole milk products Use lean cuts of meat egg substitutes and skim milk instead

bullSelect whole grains Various nutrients found in whole grains promote heart health Choose whole-grain breads whole-wheat pasta whole-wheat flour and brown rice Oatmeal and oat bran are other good choices

bullStock up on fruits and vegetables Fruits and vegetables are rich in dietary fiber which can help lower cholesterol Snack on seasonal fruits Experiment with vegetable-based casseroles soups and stir-fries

bullEat heart-healthy fish Some types of fish mdash such as cod tuna and halibut mdash have less total fat saturated fat and cholesterol than do meat and poultry Salmon mackerel and herring are rich in omega-3 fatty acids which help promote heart health

bullDrink alcohol only in moderation Moderate use of alcohol may increase your levels of HDL cholesterol mdash but the benefits arent strong enough to recommend alcohol for anyone who does-nt drink already If you choose to drink do so in moderation This means no more than one drink a day for women and one to two drinks a day for men

Exercise regularly

Regular exercise can help improve your cholesterol levels With your doctors OK work up to 30 to 60 minutes of exercise a day Take a brisk daily walk Ride your bike Swim laps To maintain your motivation keep it fun Find an exercise buddy or join an exercise group And you dont need to get all 30 to 60 minutes in one exercise session If you can squeeze in three to six 10-minute intervals of exercise youll still get some cholesterol-lowering benefits

Dont smoke

If you smoke stop Quitting can improve your HDL cholesterol level And the benefits dont end there Just 20 minutes after quitting your blood pressure decreases Within 24 hours your risk of a heart attack decreases Within one year your risk of heart disease is half that of a smokers Within 15 years your risk of heart disease is similar to that of someone whos never smoked

Four old retired men are walking down a

street in Lakeland Florida

They turn a corner and see a sign that says

Old Timers Bar - ALL drinks 10 cents

They look at each other and then go in thinking this is too good to be true

The old bartender says in a voice that carries across the room

Come on in and let me pour one for you Whatll it be gentlemen

Theres a fully stocked bar so each of the men orders a martini

In no time the bartender serves up four iced martinis shaken not stirred and says

Thatll be 10 cents each please

The four guys stare at the bartender for a moment then at each other

They cant believe their good luck

They pay the 40 cents finish their martinis and order another round

Again four excellent martinis are produced with the bartender again saying

ldquoThatrsquos 40 cents please

They pay the 40 cents but their curiosity gets the better of them

Theyve each had two martinis and havent even spent a dollar yet

Finally one of them says How can you afford to serve martinis as good as these for a dime a piece

Im a retired tailor from Orlando the bartender says and I always wanted to own a bar

Last year I hit the Lottery Jackpot for $125 million and decided to open this place

Every drink costs a dime Wine liquor beer its all the same

Wow Thats some story one of the men says

As the four of them sip at their martinis they cant help noticing seven other people

at the end of the bar who dont have any drinks in front of them and havent ordered

anything the whole time theyve been there

Nodding at the seven at the end of the bar

one of the men asks the Bartender Whats with them

The bartender says ldquoTheyrsquore retired people from CANADA

Theyrsquore waiting for Happy Hour when drinks are half-price

plus they have coupons

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

Submitted by

Paradise Village Resident Barb Prior

Osteoporosis is the condition when the bones become increas-

ingly porous leading to the risk of fractures especially of the wrists

hips or spinal vertebrae (stooped posture or dowagers hump)

This condition affects both women and men Approximately 50

of postmenopausal women are at risk and about 20 of men over

the age of 60 years

Bone density begins to reduce for everyone after it peaks in our late

20s By the age of 35 years our bones become gradually weaker

Osteoporosis occurs when there is an imbalance between new

bone formation and old bone re-absorption

Calcium is essential for proper function of the heart brain and other

organs The body re-absorbs calcium that is stored in the bones to

maintain adequate calcium levels in the blood If your calcium

intake is not sufficient bone production and bone tissue may suffer

resulting in weaker brittle bones If this bone loss occurs over an

extended period of many years it can result in serious damage to

bone health

Risk factors that cannot be modified Age

Race (Caucasians and Asians are at greater risk)

Small bone structure

Family history of osteoporosis

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS

Since bone loss is gradual over many years there are no signs or symptoms in the early stages After many years of

bone loss there may be dull pain in the bones and muscles particularly low back pain or neck pain Most people

become aware that they have osteoporosis when they experience a fracture after a minor fall A slip or strain or even

a violent cough or sneeze may result in a fracture

TREATMENT AND PREVENTION

The risk of a fracture can be lowered with lifestyle changes along with dietary andor supplements to prevent bone loss

Women over 50 and men over 70 require 1000-1200mg of calcium a day

Vitamin D - the sunshine vitamin is needed to increase bone mass In this northern climate we do not get enough

from the sun Foods containing Vitamin D include fortified milk egg yolks saltwater fish and liver

The daily recommended dose of Vitamin D for both women and men over the age of 60 years is 800-1200mgday

Quit smoking

Drink alcohol in moderation (Poor nutrition and increased risk of falls are factors here)

Exercise - weight-bearing exercises or simply walking promotes healthy bones and strengthens the muscles to

support our bones and reduces the risk of falls

If you suspect you may be at risk of osteoporosis

consult your doctor for further evaluation and treatment

Risk factors that can be modified Inactivity or immobility

Reduced Calcium and Vitamin D intake

Smoking

Excessive alcohol intake

Eating disorders (anorexia andor bulimia)

Reduced estrogen production

Just want to take this opportunity to thank everyone for supporting the two South

Beach trips that have been planned to date We sure have a lot of fun donrsquot we

I would be willing to do this overnight trip every second month if that would be your

wish Let me know if this would interest you as bookings for buses and hotel

need to be done quite a bit in advance If there is interest the next one would be

March 3031

For those not familiar with this trip with the rebates it is pretty much a free trip and a

nice getaway in a lovely hotelhellip Call for details

2015

Back by popular demand IF there is enough interest

The last two years have been awesome

Folklorama 2015 is requesting confirmation of trips already so I need to know how many people are interested in

attending I do have a list of people who called some time ago and indicated interest but I need quite a few more to make it work We are able to keep the cost the same as last year and anyone who has gone in the past will tell you it is a real bargain

If you would like the opportunity to go to Folklorama without the line-ups hassle of parking enjoy preferential treatment at the pavilions and also get to enjoy both of the Casinos of Winnipeg and stay at the Club Regent Casino Hotel by Canad Inn give Marilyn a call right away (204-326-4939) I will plan for one trip only at this time and only consider both weeks if there is a lot of interest shown As in the past I will need commitments early If you are not sure if you are on my list call The dates I have in mind are Week 1 ndash Tuesday Aug 4th Wednesday August 5th Week 2 ndash Tuesday Aug 11th Wednesday Aug 12th

For those not familiar with the trip I am adding a sample of what the trip is like

Day one - Casino bus pickup at Steinbach 830 am - Ste Anne 840 - Paradise Village 900 am

- Arrive McPhillips Street Station in the morning 1000 am - arrive at Club Regent 230 pm and book in at the Canad Inn

- Early evening - arrive at 1st pavilion for an appetizer drink and show - After the show bus will take us to second pavilion for dinner drink and the show there - Finally our bus will take us to a third pavilion for dessert drink and their performance - When the evening is over our bus will take us back to Canad Inn at Club Regent for our overnight stay Your time is your own to do as you please until check out time the following day

Day two -enjoy Club Regent (or do whatever you wish) before leaving for the trip home at 200 pm Pavilions will be the choice of organizers (because of timing) Early commitment insures better pavilion choice Cost includes bus usual Casino Bus benefits of giveaways bingo etc (not the $1000 given on the free monthly trips) pavilion entrance fees food and drink at the pavilions shows and overnight stay ALL THIS FOR ONLY $8500 per person (based on double occupancy) Singles are welcome too but there is an additional charge of $5000 for hotel room unless you are sharing with someone This fantastic deal is only available through our casino bus and overnight stay is mandatory Offer is open to all you do not need to live in Paradise Village so let your friends know too (must be over 18)

There is no report for this month Larry Trush

So I have found some history on Square Dancing

for your reading pleasure Debbie Kokil Editor

Square dance is a dance for four couples (eight dancers) arranged in a square with one couple on each side facing the middle of the square Square dances were first documented in 17th-century England but were also quite common in France and throughout Europe They came to North America with the European settlers and have undergone considerable development there In some countries and regions through preservation and repetition square dances have attained the status of a folk dance

Traditional square dance which is also called old time square dance Traditional square dance is not standardized and can be subdivided into regional styles The New England and Appalachian styles have been particularly well documented both have survived to the present time There are several other styles some have survived or been revived in recent years some have not Traditional square dance is frequently presented in alternation with contra dances (particularly in revival groups) or with some form of freestyle couple dancing (at surviving local events) One ancestor of New England style square dances is the quadrille and older New England callers occasionally refer to their squares as ldquoquadrillesrdquo Where traditional square dance has been revived it encompasses a wide range of new choreography

Modern Western square dance (MWSD) which is also called Western square dance contemporary Western square dance or modern American square dance Modern Western square dance evolved from the Western style of traditional square dance from about 1940 to 1960 Traditional Western square dancing was promoted beginning in the 1930s by Lloyd Shaw who solicited definitions from callers across the country in order to preserve that dance form and make it available to other teachers Since the 1970s modern Western square dance has been promoted and standardized by Callerlab the International Association of Square Dance Callers Because of this standardization it is possible for anyone with the proper training to enjoy Modern Western square dancing in many countries around the world although instruction is typically given in the local language the calls are always in English Modern Western square dance is sometimes presented in alternation with round dances

My New Exercise Routine

Begin by standing on a comfortable surface where you have plenty of room at each side With a 5-lb potato bag in each hand extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long

as you can Try to reach a full minute and then relax

Each day youll find that you can hold this position for just a bit

longer

After a couple of weeks move up to 10-lb potato bags

Then try 50-lb potato bags and eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb potato bag in each hand and hold your arms

straight for more than a full minute (Im at this level)

After you feel confident at that level put a potato in each bag

High Cholesterol

Cholesterol is a waxy substance thats found in the fats (lipids) in your blood While your body

needs cholesterol to continue building healthy cells having high cholesterol can increase your risk of heart disease

When you have high cholesterol you may develop fatty deposits in your blood vessels Eventually these deposits make it difficult for enough blood to flow through your arteries Your heart may not get as much oxygen-rich blood as it needs which increases the risk of a heart attack Decreased blood flow to your brain can cause a stroke

High cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia) can be inherited but its often the result of unhealthy lifestyle choices and thus preventable and treatable A healthy diet regular exercise and sometimes medication can go a long way toward reducing high cholesterol

High cholesterol has no symptoms A blood test is the only way to detect high cholesterol

When to see a doctor

Ask your doctor for a baseline cholesterol test at age 20 and then have your cholesterol retested at least every five years If your test results arent within desirable ranges your doctor may recommend more frequent measurements Your doctor may also suggest you have more frequent tests if you have a family history of high cholesterol heart disease or other risk factors such as smoking diabetes or high blood pressure

Lifestyle changes are essential to improve your cholesterol level To bring your numbers down lose excess weight eat healthy foods and increase your physical activity If you smoke quit

Lose extra pounds

Excess weight contributes to high cholesterol Losing even 5 to 10 pounds can help lower total cholesterol levels Start by taking an honest look at your eating habits and daily routine Consider your challenges to weight loss mdash and ways to overcome them Set long-term sustainable goals

Eat heart-healthy foods

What you eat has a direct impact on your cholesterol level In fact a diet rich in fiber and other cholesterol-lowering foods may help lower cholesterol as much as statin medication for some people

bullChoose healthier fats Saturated fat and trans fat raise your total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol Get no more than 10 percent of your daily calories from saturated fat Monounsaturated fat mdash found in olive peanut and canola oils mdash is a healthier option Almonds and walnuts are other sources of healthy fat

33

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

bullEliminate trans fats Trans fats which are often found in margarines and commercially baked cookies crackers and snack cakes are particularly bad for your cholesterol levels Not only do trans fats increase your total LDL (bad) cholesterol but they also lower your HDL (good) cholesterol

You may have noticed more food labels now market their products as trans fat-free But dont rely only on this label In the United States if a food contains less than 05 grams of trans fat a serving it can be marked trans fat-free It may not seem like much but if you eat a lot of foods with a small amount of trans fat it can add up quickly Instead read the ingredients list If a food contains a partially hydrogenated oil thats a trans fat and you should look for an alternative

bullLimit your dietary cholesterol Aim for no more than 300 milligrams (mg) of cholesterol a day mdash or less than 200 mg if you have heart disease The most concentrated sources of cholesterol include organ meats egg yolks and whole milk products Use lean cuts of meat egg substitutes and skim milk instead

bullSelect whole grains Various nutrients found in whole grains promote heart health Choose whole-grain breads whole-wheat pasta whole-wheat flour and brown rice Oatmeal and oat bran are other good choices

bullStock up on fruits and vegetables Fruits and vegetables are rich in dietary fiber which can help lower cholesterol Snack on seasonal fruits Experiment with vegetable-based casseroles soups and stir-fries

bullEat heart-healthy fish Some types of fish mdash such as cod tuna and halibut mdash have less total fat saturated fat and cholesterol than do meat and poultry Salmon mackerel and herring are rich in omega-3 fatty acids which help promote heart health

bullDrink alcohol only in moderation Moderate use of alcohol may increase your levels of HDL cholesterol mdash but the benefits arent strong enough to recommend alcohol for anyone who does-nt drink already If you choose to drink do so in moderation This means no more than one drink a day for women and one to two drinks a day for men

Exercise regularly

Regular exercise can help improve your cholesterol levels With your doctors OK work up to 30 to 60 minutes of exercise a day Take a brisk daily walk Ride your bike Swim laps To maintain your motivation keep it fun Find an exercise buddy or join an exercise group And you dont need to get all 30 to 60 minutes in one exercise session If you can squeeze in three to six 10-minute intervals of exercise youll still get some cholesterol-lowering benefits

Dont smoke

If you smoke stop Quitting can improve your HDL cholesterol level And the benefits dont end there Just 20 minutes after quitting your blood pressure decreases Within 24 hours your risk of a heart attack decreases Within one year your risk of heart disease is half that of a smokers Within 15 years your risk of heart disease is similar to that of someone whos never smoked

Four old retired men are walking down a

street in Lakeland Florida

They turn a corner and see a sign that says

Old Timers Bar - ALL drinks 10 cents

They look at each other and then go in thinking this is too good to be true

The old bartender says in a voice that carries across the room

Come on in and let me pour one for you Whatll it be gentlemen

Theres a fully stocked bar so each of the men orders a martini

In no time the bartender serves up four iced martinis shaken not stirred and says

Thatll be 10 cents each please

The four guys stare at the bartender for a moment then at each other

They cant believe their good luck

They pay the 40 cents finish their martinis and order another round

Again four excellent martinis are produced with the bartender again saying

ldquoThatrsquos 40 cents please

They pay the 40 cents but their curiosity gets the better of them

Theyve each had two martinis and havent even spent a dollar yet

Finally one of them says How can you afford to serve martinis as good as these for a dime a piece

Im a retired tailor from Orlando the bartender says and I always wanted to own a bar

Last year I hit the Lottery Jackpot for $125 million and decided to open this place

Every drink costs a dime Wine liquor beer its all the same

Wow Thats some story one of the men says

As the four of them sip at their martinis they cant help noticing seven other people

at the end of the bar who dont have any drinks in front of them and havent ordered

anything the whole time theyve been there

Nodding at the seven at the end of the bar

one of the men asks the Bartender Whats with them

The bartender says ldquoTheyrsquore retired people from CANADA

Theyrsquore waiting for Happy Hour when drinks are half-price

plus they have coupons

ingly porous leading to the risk of fractures especially of the wrists

hips or spinal vertebrae (stooped posture or dowagers hump)

This condition affects both women and men Approximately 50

of postmenopausal women are at risk and about 20 of men over

the age of 60 years

Bone density begins to reduce for everyone after it peaks in our late

20s By the age of 35 years our bones become gradually weaker

Osteoporosis occurs when there is an imbalance between new

bone formation and old bone re-absorption

Calcium is essential for proper function of the heart brain and other

organs The body re-absorbs calcium that is stored in the bones to

maintain adequate calcium levels in the blood If your calcium

intake is not sufficient bone production and bone tissue may suffer

resulting in weaker brittle bones If this bone loss occurs over an

extended period of many years it can result in serious damage to

bone health

Risk factors that cannot be modified Age

Race (Caucasians and Asians are at greater risk)

Small bone structure

Family history of osteoporosis

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS

Since bone loss is gradual over many years there are no signs or symptoms in the early stages After many years of

bone loss there may be dull pain in the bones and muscles particularly low back pain or neck pain Most people

become aware that they have osteoporosis when they experience a fracture after a minor fall A slip or strain or even

a violent cough or sneeze may result in a fracture

TREATMENT AND PREVENTION

The risk of a fracture can be lowered with lifestyle changes along with dietary andor supplements to prevent bone loss

Women over 50 and men over 70 require 1000-1200mg of calcium a day

Vitamin D - the sunshine vitamin is needed to increase bone mass In this northern climate we do not get enough

from the sun Foods containing Vitamin D include fortified milk egg yolks saltwater fish and liver

The daily recommended dose of Vitamin D for both women and men over the age of 60 years is 800-1200mgday

Quit smoking

Drink alcohol in moderation (Poor nutrition and increased risk of falls are factors here)

Exercise - weight-bearing exercises or simply walking promotes healthy bones and strengthens the muscles to

support our bones and reduces the risk of falls

If you suspect you may be at risk of osteoporosis

consult your doctor for further evaluation and treatment

Risk factors that can be modified Inactivity or immobility

Reduced Calcium and Vitamin D intake

Smoking

Excessive alcohol intake

Eating disorders (anorexia andor bulimia)

Reduced estrogen production

Just want to take this opportunity to thank everyone for supporting the two South

Beach trips that have been planned to date We sure have a lot of fun donrsquot we

Back by popular demand IF there is enough interest

The last two years have been awesome

Folklorama 2015 is requesting confirmation of trips already so I need to know how many people are interested in

attending I do have a list of people who called some time ago and indicated interest but I need quite a few more to make it work We are able to keep the cost the same as last year and anyone who has gone in the past will tell you it is a real bargain

If you would like the opportunity to go to Folklorama without the line-ups hassle of parking enjoy preferential treatment at the pavilions and also get to enjoy both of the Casinos of Winnipeg and stay at the Club Regent Casino Hotel by Canad Inn give Marilyn a call right away (204-326-4939) I will plan for one trip only at this time and only consider both weeks if there is a lot of interest shown As in the past I will need commitments early If you are not sure if you are on my list call The dates I have in mind are Week 1 ndash Tuesday Aug 4th Wednesday August 5th Week 2 ndash Tuesday Aug 11th Wednesday Aug 12th

For those not familiar with the trip I am adding a sample of what the trip is like

Day one - Casino bus pickup at Steinbach 830 am - Ste Anne 840 - Paradise Village 900 am

- Arrive McPhillips Street Station in the morning 1000 am - arrive at Club Regent 230 pm and book in at the Canad Inn

- Early evening - arrive at 1st pavilion for an appetizer drink and show - After the show bus will take us to second pavilion for dinner drink and the show there - Finally our bus will take us to a third pavilion for dessert drink and their performance - When the evening is over our bus will take us back to Canad Inn at Club Regent for our overnight stay Your time is your own to do as you please until check out time the following day

Day two -enjoy Club Regent (or do whatever you wish) before leaving for the trip home at 200 pm Pavilions will be the choice of organizers (because of timing) Early commitment insures better pavilion choice Cost includes bus usual Casino Bus benefits of giveaways bingo etc (not the $1000 given on the free monthly trips) pavilion entrance fees food and drink at the pavilions shows and overnight stay ALL THIS FOR ONLY $8500 per person (based on double occupancy) Singles are welcome too but there is an additional charge of $5000 for hotel room unless you are sharing with someone This fantastic deal is only available through our casino bus and overnight stay is mandatory Offer is open to all you do not need to live in Paradise Village so let your friends know too (must be over 18)

There is no report for this month Larry Trush

So I have found some history on Square Dancing

for your reading pleasure Debbie Kokil Editor

Square dance is a dance for four couples (eight dancers) arranged in a square with one couple on each side facing the middle of the square Square dances were first documented in 17th-century England but were also quite common in France and throughout Europe They came to North America with the European settlers and have undergone considerable development there In some countries and regions through preservation and repetition square dances have attained the status of a folk dance

Traditional square dance which is also called old time square dance Traditional square dance is not standardized and can be subdivided into regional styles The New England and Appalachian styles have been particularly well documented both have survived to the present time There are several other styles some have survived or been revived in recent years some have not Traditional square dance is frequently presented in alternation with contra dances (particularly in revival groups) or with some form of freestyle couple dancing (at surviving local events) One ancestor of New England style square dances is the quadrille and older New England callers occasionally refer to their squares as ldquoquadrillesrdquo Where traditional square dance has been revived it encompasses a wide range of new choreography

Modern Western square dance (MWSD) which is also called Western square dance contemporary Western square dance or modern American square dance Modern Western square dance evolved from the Western style of traditional square dance from about 1940 to 1960 Traditional Western square dancing was promoted beginning in the 1930s by Lloyd Shaw who solicited definitions from callers across the country in order to preserve that dance form and make it available to other teachers Since the 1970s modern Western square dance has been promoted and standardized by Callerlab the International Association of Square Dance Callers Because of this standardization it is possible for anyone with the proper training to enjoy Modern Western square dancing in many countries around the world although instruction is typically given in the local language the calls are always in English Modern Western square dance is sometimes presented in alternation with round dances

My New Exercise Routine

Begin by standing on a comfortable surface where you have plenty of room at each side With a 5-lb potato bag in each hand extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long

as you can Try to reach a full minute and then relax

Each day youll find that you can hold this position for just a bit

longer

After a couple of weeks move up to 10-lb potato bags

Then try 50-lb potato bags and eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb potato bag in each hand and hold your arms

straight for more than a full minute (Im at this level)

After you feel confident at that level put a potato in each bag

High Cholesterol

Cholesterol is a waxy substance thats found in the fats (lipids) in your blood While your body

needs cholesterol to continue building healthy cells having high cholesterol can increase your risk of heart disease

When you have high cholesterol you may develop fatty deposits in your blood vessels Eventually these deposits make it difficult for enough blood to flow through your arteries Your heart may not get as much oxygen-rich blood as it needs which increases the risk of a heart attack Decreased blood flow to your brain can cause a stroke

High cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia) can be inherited but its often the result of unhealthy lifestyle choices and thus preventable and treatable A healthy diet regular exercise and sometimes medication can go a long way toward reducing high cholesterol

High cholesterol has no symptoms A blood test is the only way to detect high cholesterol

When to see a doctor

Ask your doctor for a baseline cholesterol test at age 20 and then have your cholesterol retested at least every five years If your test results arent within desirable ranges your doctor may recommend more frequent measurements Your doctor may also suggest you have more frequent tests if you have a family history of high cholesterol heart disease or other risk factors such as smoking diabetes or high blood pressure

Lifestyle changes are essential to improve your cholesterol level To bring your numbers down lose excess weight eat healthy foods and increase your physical activity If you smoke quit

Lose extra pounds

Excess weight contributes to high cholesterol Losing even 5 to 10 pounds can help lower total cholesterol levels Start by taking an honest look at your eating habits and daily routine Consider your challenges to weight loss mdash and ways to overcome them Set long-term sustainable goals

Eat heart-healthy foods

What you eat has a direct impact on your cholesterol level In fact a diet rich in fiber and other cholesterol-lowering foods may help lower cholesterol as much as statin medication for some people

bullChoose healthier fats Saturated fat and trans fat raise your total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol Get no more than 10 percent of your daily calories from saturated fat Monounsaturated fat mdash found in olive peanut and canola oils mdash is a healthier option Almonds and walnuts are other sources of healthy fat

33

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

bullEliminate trans fats Trans fats which are often found in margarines and commercially baked cookies crackers and snack cakes are particularly bad for your cholesterol levels Not only do trans fats increase your total LDL (bad) cholesterol but they also lower your HDL (good) cholesterol

You may have noticed more food labels now market their products as trans fat-free But dont rely only on this label In the United States if a food contains less than 05 grams of trans fat a serving it can be marked trans fat-free It may not seem like much but if you eat a lot of foods with a small amount of trans fat it can add up quickly Instead read the ingredients list If a food contains a partially hydrogenated oil thats a trans fat and you should look for an alternative

bullLimit your dietary cholesterol Aim for no more than 300 milligrams (mg) of cholesterol a day mdash or less than 200 mg if you have heart disease The most concentrated sources of cholesterol include organ meats egg yolks and whole milk products Use lean cuts of meat egg substitutes and skim milk instead

bullSelect whole grains Various nutrients found in whole grains promote heart health Choose whole-grain breads whole-wheat pasta whole-wheat flour and brown rice Oatmeal and oat bran are other good choices

bullStock up on fruits and vegetables Fruits and vegetables are rich in dietary fiber which can help lower cholesterol Snack on seasonal fruits Experiment with vegetable-based casseroles soups and stir-fries

bullEat heart-healthy fish Some types of fish mdash such as cod tuna and halibut mdash have less total fat saturated fat and cholesterol than do meat and poultry Salmon mackerel and herring are rich in omega-3 fatty acids which help promote heart health

bullDrink alcohol only in moderation Moderate use of alcohol may increase your levels of HDL cholesterol mdash but the benefits arent strong enough to recommend alcohol for anyone who does-nt drink already If you choose to drink do so in moderation This means no more than one drink a day for women and one to two drinks a day for men

Exercise regularly

Regular exercise can help improve your cholesterol levels With your doctors OK work up to 30 to 60 minutes of exercise a day Take a brisk daily walk Ride your bike Swim laps To maintain your motivation keep it fun Find an exercise buddy or join an exercise group And you dont need to get all 30 to 60 minutes in one exercise session If you can squeeze in three to six 10-minute intervals of exercise youll still get some cholesterol-lowering benefits

Dont smoke

If you smoke stop Quitting can improve your HDL cholesterol level And the benefits dont end there Just 20 minutes after quitting your blood pressure decreases Within 24 hours your risk of a heart attack decreases Within one year your risk of heart disease is half that of a smokers Within 15 years your risk of heart disease is similar to that of someone whos never smoked

and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

Four old retired men are walking down a

street in Lakeland Florida

They turn a corner and see a sign that says

Old Timers Bar - ALL drinks 10 cents

They look at each other and then go in thinking this is too good to be true

The old bartender says in a voice that carries across the room

Come on in and let me pour one for you Whatll it be gentlemen

Theres a fully stocked bar so each of the men orders a martini

In no time the bartender serves up four iced martinis shaken not stirred and says

Thatll be 10 cents each please

The four guys stare at the bartender for a moment then at each other

They cant believe their good luck

They pay the 40 cents finish their martinis and order another round

Again four excellent martinis are produced with the bartender again saying

ldquoThatrsquos 40 cents please

They pay the 40 cents but their curiosity gets the better of them

Theyve each had two martinis and havent even spent a dollar yet

Finally one of them says How can you afford to serve martinis as good as these for a dime a piece

Im a retired tailor from Orlando the bartender says and I always wanted to own a bar

Last year I hit the Lottery Jackpot for $125 million and decided to open this place

Every drink costs a dime Wine liquor beer its all the same

Wow Thats some story one of the men says

As the four of them sip at their martinis they cant help noticing seven other people

at the end of the bar who dont have any drinks in front of them and havent ordered

anything the whole time theyve been there

Nodding at the seven at the end of the bar

one of the men asks the Bartender Whats with them

The bartender says ldquoTheyrsquore retired people from CANADA

Theyrsquore waiting for Happy Hour when drinks are half-price

plus they have coupons

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

Submitted by

Paradise Village Resident Barb Prior

Osteoporosis is the condition when the bones become increas-

ingly porous leading to the risk of fractures especially of the wrists

hips or spinal vertebrae (stooped posture or dowagers hump)

This condition affects both women and men Approximately 50

of postmenopausal women are at risk and about 20 of men over

the age of 60 years

Bone density begins to reduce for everyone after it peaks in our late

20s By the age of 35 years our bones become gradually weaker

Osteoporosis occurs when there is an imbalance between new

bone formation and old bone re-absorption

Calcium is essential for proper function of the heart brain and other

organs The body re-absorbs calcium that is stored in the bones to

maintain adequate calcium levels in the blood If your calcium

intake is not sufficient bone production and bone tissue may suffer

resulting in weaker brittle bones If this bone loss occurs over an

extended period of many years it can result in serious damage to

bone health

Risk factors that cannot be modified Age

Race (Caucasians and Asians are at greater risk)

Small bone structure

Family history of osteoporosis

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS

Since bone loss is gradual over many years there are no signs or symptoms in the early stages After many years of

bone loss there may be dull pain in the bones and muscles particularly low back pain or neck pain Most people

become aware that they have osteoporosis when they experience a fracture after a minor fall A slip or strain or even

a violent cough or sneeze may result in a fracture

TREATMENT AND PREVENTION

The risk of a fracture can be lowered with lifestyle changes along with dietary andor supplements to prevent bone loss

Women over 50 and men over 70 require 1000-1200mg of calcium a day

Vitamin D - the sunshine vitamin is needed to increase bone mass In this northern climate we do not get enough

from the sun Foods containing Vitamin D include fortified milk egg yolks saltwater fish and liver

The daily recommended dose of Vitamin D for both women and men over the age of 60 years is 800-1200mgday

Quit smoking

Drink alcohol in moderation (Poor nutrition and increased risk of falls are factors here)

Exercise - weight-bearing exercises or simply walking promotes healthy bones and strengthens the muscles to

support our bones and reduces the risk of falls

If you suspect you may be at risk of osteoporosis

consult your doctor for further evaluation and treatment

Risk factors that can be modified Inactivity or immobility

Reduced Calcium and Vitamin D intake

Smoking

Excessive alcohol intake

Eating disorders (anorexia andor bulimia)

Reduced estrogen production

Just want to take this opportunity to thank everyone for supporting the two South

Beach trips that have been planned to date We sure have a lot of fun donrsquot we

I would be willing to do this overnight trip every second month if that would be your

wish Let me know if this would interest you as bookings for buses and hotel

need to be done quite a bit in advance If there is interest the next one would be

March 3031

nice getaway in a lovely hotelhellip Call for details

Back by popular demand IF there is enough interest

The last two years have been awesome

Folklorama 2015 is requesting confirmation of trips already so I need to know how many people are interested in

attending I do have a list of people who called some time ago and indicated interest but I need quite a few more to make it work We are able to keep the cost the same as last year and anyone who has gone in the past will tell you it is a real bargain

If you would like the opportunity to go to Folklorama without the line-ups hassle of parking enjoy preferential treatment at the pavilions and also get to enjoy both of the Casinos of Winnipeg and stay at the Club Regent Casino Hotel by Canad Inn give Marilyn a call right away (204-326-4939) I will plan for one trip only at this time and only consider both weeks if there is a lot of interest shown As in the past I will need commitments early If you are not sure if you are on my list call The dates I have in mind are Week 1 ndash Tuesday Aug 4th Wednesday August 5th Week 2 ndash Tuesday Aug 11th Wednesday Aug 12th

For those not familiar with the trip I am adding a sample of what the trip is like

Day one - Casino bus pickup at Steinbach 830 am - Ste Anne 840 - Paradise Village 900 am

- Arrive McPhillips Street Station in the morning 1000 am - arrive at Club Regent 230 pm and book in at the Canad Inn

- Early evening - arrive at 1st pavilion for an appetizer drink and show - After the show bus will take us to second pavilion for dinner drink and the show there - Finally our bus will take us to a third pavilion for dessert drink and their performance - When the evening is over our bus will take us back to Canad Inn at Club Regent for our overnight stay Your time is your own to do as you please until check out time the following day

Day two -enjoy Club Regent (or do whatever you wish) before leaving for the trip home at 200 pm Pavilions will be the choice of organizers (because of timing) Early commitment insures better pavilion choice Cost includes bus usual Casino Bus benefits of giveaways bingo etc (not the $1000 given on the free monthly trips) pavilion entrance fees food and drink at the pavilions shows and overnight stay ALL THIS FOR ONLY $8500 per person (based on double occupancy) Singles are welcome too but there is an additional charge of $5000 for hotel room unless you are sharing with someone This fantastic deal is only available through our casino bus and overnight stay is mandatory Offer is open to all you do not need to live in Paradise Village so let your friends know too (must be over 18)

There is no report for this month Larry Trush

So I have found some history on Square Dancing

for your reading pleasure Debbie Kokil Editor

Square dance is a dance for four couples (eight dancers) arranged in a square with one couple on each side facing the middle of the square Square dances were first documented in 17th-century England but were also quite common in France and throughout Europe They came to North America with the European settlers and have undergone considerable development there In some countries and regions through preservation and repetition square dances have attained the status of a folk dance

Traditional square dance which is also called old time square dance Traditional square dance is not standardized and can be subdivided into regional styles The New England and Appalachian styles have been particularly well documented both have survived to the present time There are several other styles some have survived or been revived in recent years some have not Traditional square dance is frequently presented in alternation with contra dances (particularly in revival groups) or with some form of freestyle couple dancing (at surviving local events) One ancestor of New England style square dances is the quadrille and older New England callers occasionally refer to their squares as ldquoquadrillesrdquo Where traditional square dance has been revived it encompasses a wide range of new choreography

Modern Western square dance (MWSD) which is also called Western square dance contemporary Western square dance or modern American square dance Modern Western square dance evolved from the Western style of traditional square dance from about 1940 to 1960 Traditional Western square dancing was promoted beginning in the 1930s by Lloyd Shaw who solicited definitions from callers across the country in order to preserve that dance form and make it available to other teachers Since the 1970s modern Western square dance has been promoted and standardized by Callerlab the International Association of Square Dance Callers Because of this standardization it is possible for anyone with the proper training to enjoy Modern Western square dancing in many countries around the world although instruction is typically given in the local language the calls are always in English Modern Western square dance is sometimes presented in alternation with round dances

My New Exercise Routine

Begin by standing on a comfortable surface where you have plenty of room at each side With a 5-lb potato bag in each hand extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long

as you can Try to reach a full minute and then relax

Each day youll find that you can hold this position for just a bit

longer

After a couple of weeks move up to 10-lb potato bags

Then try 50-lb potato bags and eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb potato bag in each hand and hold your arms

straight for more than a full minute (Im at this level)

After you feel confident at that level put a potato in each bag

High Cholesterol

Cholesterol is a waxy substance thats found in the fats (lipids) in your blood While your body

needs cholesterol to continue building healthy cells having high cholesterol can increase your risk of heart disease

When you have high cholesterol you may develop fatty deposits in your blood vessels Eventually these deposits make it difficult for enough blood to flow through your arteries Your heart may not get as much oxygen-rich blood as it needs which increases the risk of a heart attack Decreased blood flow to your brain can cause a stroke

High cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia) can be inherited but its often the result of unhealthy lifestyle choices and thus preventable and treatable A healthy diet regular exercise and sometimes medication can go a long way toward reducing high cholesterol

High cholesterol has no symptoms A blood test is the only way to detect high cholesterol

When to see a doctor

Ask your doctor for a baseline cholesterol test at age 20 and then have your cholesterol retested at least every five years If your test results arent within desirable ranges your doctor may recommend more frequent measurements Your doctor may also suggest you have more frequent tests if you have a family history of high cholesterol heart disease or other risk factors such as smoking diabetes or high blood pressure

Lifestyle changes are essential to improve your cholesterol level To bring your numbers down lose excess weight eat healthy foods and increase your physical activity If you smoke quit

Lose extra pounds

Excess weight contributes to high cholesterol Losing even 5 to 10 pounds can help lower total cholesterol levels Start by taking an honest look at your eating habits and daily routine Consider your challenges to weight loss mdash and ways to overcome them Set long-term sustainable goals

Eat heart-healthy foods

What you eat has a direct impact on your cholesterol level In fact a diet rich in fiber and other cholesterol-lowering foods may help lower cholesterol as much as statin medication for some people

bullChoose healthier fats Saturated fat and trans fat raise your total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol Get no more than 10 percent of your daily calories from saturated fat Monounsaturated fat mdash found in olive peanut and canola oils mdash is a healthier option Almonds and walnuts are other sources of healthy fat

33

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

bullEliminate trans fats Trans fats which are often found in margarines and commercially baked cookies crackers and snack cakes are particularly bad for your cholesterol levels Not only do trans fats increase your total LDL (bad) cholesterol but they also lower your HDL (good) cholesterol

You may have noticed more food labels now market their products as trans fat-free But dont rely only on this label In the United States if a food contains less than 05 grams of trans fat a serving it can be marked trans fat-free It may not seem like much but if you eat a lot of foods with a small amount of trans fat it can add up quickly Instead read the ingredients list If a food contains a partially hydrogenated oil thats a trans fat and you should look for an alternative

bullLimit your dietary cholesterol Aim for no more than 300 milligrams (mg) of cholesterol a day mdash or less than 200 mg if you have heart disease The most concentrated sources of cholesterol include organ meats egg yolks and whole milk products Use lean cuts of meat egg substitutes and skim milk instead

bullSelect whole grains Various nutrients found in whole grains promote heart health Choose whole-grain breads whole-wheat pasta whole-wheat flour and brown rice Oatmeal and oat bran are other good choices

bullStock up on fruits and vegetables Fruits and vegetables are rich in dietary fiber which can help lower cholesterol Snack on seasonal fruits Experiment with vegetable-based casseroles soups and stir-fries

bullEat heart-healthy fish Some types of fish mdash such as cod tuna and halibut mdash have less total fat saturated fat and cholesterol than do meat and poultry Salmon mackerel and herring are rich in omega-3 fatty acids which help promote heart health

bullDrink alcohol only in moderation Moderate use of alcohol may increase your levels of HDL cholesterol mdash but the benefits arent strong enough to recommend alcohol for anyone who does-nt drink already If you choose to drink do so in moderation This means no more than one drink a day for women and one to two drinks a day for men

Exercise regularly

Regular exercise can help improve your cholesterol levels With your doctors OK work up to 30 to 60 minutes of exercise a day Take a brisk daily walk Ride your bike Swim laps To maintain your motivation keep it fun Find an exercise buddy or join an exercise group And you dont need to get all 30 to 60 minutes in one exercise session If you can squeeze in three to six 10-minute intervals of exercise youll still get some cholesterol-lowering benefits

Dont smoke

If you smoke stop Quitting can improve your HDL cholesterol level And the benefits dont end there Just 20 minutes after quitting your blood pressure decreases Within 24 hours your risk of a heart attack decreases Within one year your risk of heart disease is half that of a smokers Within 15 years your risk of heart disease is similar to that of someone whos never smoked

and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

Four old retired men are walking down a

street in Lakeland Florida

They turn a corner and see a sign that says

Old Timers Bar - ALL drinks 10 cents

They look at each other and then go in thinking this is too good to be true

The old bartender says in a voice that carries across the room

Come on in and let me pour one for you Whatll it be gentlemen

Theres a fully stocked bar so each of the men orders a martini

In no time the bartender serves up four iced martinis shaken not stirred and says

Thatll be 10 cents each please

The four guys stare at the bartender for a moment then at each other

They cant believe their good luck

They pay the 40 cents finish their martinis and order another round

Again four excellent martinis are produced with the bartender again saying

ldquoThatrsquos 40 cents please

They pay the 40 cents but their curiosity gets the better of them

Theyve each had two martinis and havent even spent a dollar yet

Finally one of them says How can you afford to serve martinis as good as these for a dime a piece

Im a retired tailor from Orlando the bartender says and I always wanted to own a bar

Last year I hit the Lottery Jackpot for $125 million and decided to open this place

Every drink costs a dime Wine liquor beer its all the same

Wow Thats some story one of the men says

As the four of them sip at their martinis they cant help noticing seven other people

at the end of the bar who dont have any drinks in front of them and havent ordered

anything the whole time theyve been there

Nodding at the seven at the end of the bar

one of the men asks the Bartender Whats with them

The bartender says ldquoTheyrsquore retired people from CANADA

Theyrsquore waiting for Happy Hour when drinks are half-price

plus they have coupons

February 2015

Just want to take this opportunity to thank everyone for supporting the two South

Beach trips that have been planned to date We sure have a lot of fun donrsquot we

I would be willing to do this overnight trip every second month if that would be your

wish Let me know if this would interest you as bookings for buses and hotel

need to be done quite a bit in advance If there is interest the next one would be

March 3031

For those not familiar with this trip with the rebates it is pretty much a free trip and a

nice getaway in a lovely hotelhellip Call for details

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

2015

Back by popular demand IF there is enough interest

The last two years have been awesome

Folklorama 2015 is requesting confirmation of trips already so I need to know how many people are interested in

attending I do have a list of people who called some time ago and indicated interest but I need quite a few more to make it work We are able to keep the cost the same as last year and anyone who has gone in the past will tell you it is a real bargain

If you would like the opportunity to go to Folklorama without the line-ups hassle of parking enjoy preferential treatment at the pavilions and also get to enjoy both of the Casinos of Winnipeg and stay at the Club Regent Casino Hotel by Canad Inn give Marilyn a call right away (204-326-4939) I will plan for one trip only at this time and only consider both weeks if there is a lot of interest shown As in the past I will need commitments early If you are not sure if you are on my list call The dates I have in mind are Week 1 ndash Tuesday Aug 4th Wednesday August 5th Week 2 ndash Tuesday Aug 11th Wednesday Aug 12th

For those not familiar with the trip I am adding a sample of what the trip is like

Day one - Casino bus pickup at Steinbach 830 am - Ste Anne 840 - Paradise Village 900 am

- Arrive McPhillips Street Station in the morning 1000 am - arrive at Club Regent 230 pm and book in at the Canad Inn

- Early evening - arrive at 1st pavilion for an appetizer drink and show - After the show bus will take us to second pavilion for dinner drink and the show there - Finally our bus will take us to a third pavilion for dessert drink and their performance - When the evening is over our bus will take us back to Canad Inn at Club Regent for our overnight stay Your time is your own to do as you please until check out time the following day

Day two -enjoy Club Regent (or do whatever you wish) before leaving for the trip home at 200 pm Pavilions will be the choice of organizers (because of timing) Early commitment insures better pavilion choice Cost includes bus usual Casino Bus benefits of giveaways bingo etc (not the $1000 given on the free monthly trips) pavilion entrance fees food and drink at the pavilions shows and overnight stay ALL THIS FOR ONLY $8500 per person (based on double occupancy) Singles are welcome too but there is an additional charge of $5000 for hotel room unless you are sharing with someone This fantastic deal is only available through our casino bus and overnight stay is mandatory Offer is open to all you do not need to live in Paradise Village so let your friends know too (must be over 18)

There is no report for this month Larry Trush

So I have found some history on Square Dancing

for your reading pleasure Debbie Kokil Editor

Square dance is a dance for four couples (eight dancers) arranged in a square with one couple on each side facing the middle of the square Square dances were first documented in 17th-century England but were also quite common in France and throughout Europe They came to North America with the European settlers and have undergone considerable development there In some countries and regions through preservation and repetition square dances have attained the status of a folk dance

Traditional square dance which is also called old time square dance Traditional square dance is not standardized and can be subdivided into regional styles The New England and Appalachian styles have been particularly well documented both have survived to the present time There are several other styles some have survived or been revived in recent years some have not Traditional square dance is frequently presented in alternation with contra dances (particularly in revival groups) or with some form of freestyle couple dancing (at surviving local events) One ancestor of New England style square dances is the quadrille and older New England callers occasionally refer to their squares as ldquoquadrillesrdquo Where traditional square dance has been revived it encompasses a wide range of new choreography

Modern Western square dance (MWSD) which is also called Western square dance contemporary Western square dance or modern American square dance Modern Western square dance evolved from the Western style of traditional square dance from about 1940 to 1960 Traditional Western square dancing was promoted beginning in the 1930s by Lloyd Shaw who solicited definitions from callers across the country in order to preserve that dance form and make it available to other teachers Since the 1970s modern Western square dance has been promoted and standardized by Callerlab the International Association of Square Dance Callers Because of this standardization it is possible for anyone with the proper training to enjoy Modern Western square dancing in many countries around the world although instruction is typically given in the local language the calls are always in English Modern Western square dance is sometimes presented in alternation with round dances

My New Exercise Routine

Begin by standing on a comfortable surface where you have plenty of room at each side With a 5-lb potato bag in each hand extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long

as you can Try to reach a full minute and then relax

Each day youll find that you can hold this position for just a bit

longer

After a couple of weeks move up to 10-lb potato bags

Then try 50-lb potato bags and eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb potato bag in each hand and hold your arms

straight for more than a full minute (Im at this level)

After you feel confident at that level put a potato in each bag

High Cholesterol

Cholesterol is a waxy substance thats found in the fats (lipids) in your blood While your body

needs cholesterol to continue building healthy cells having high cholesterol can increase your risk of heart disease

When you have high cholesterol you may develop fatty deposits in your blood vessels Eventually these deposits make it difficult for enough blood to flow through your arteries Your heart may not get as much oxygen-rich blood as it needs which increases the risk of a heart attack Decreased blood flow to your brain can cause a stroke

High cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia) can be inherited but its often the result of unhealthy lifestyle choices and thus preventable and treatable A healthy diet regular exercise and sometimes medication can go a long way toward reducing high cholesterol

High cholesterol has no symptoms A blood test is the only way to detect high cholesterol

When to see a doctor

Ask your doctor for a baseline cholesterol test at age 20 and then have your cholesterol retested at least every five years If your test results arent within desirable ranges your doctor may recommend more frequent measurements Your doctor may also suggest you have more frequent tests if you have a family history of high cholesterol heart disease or other risk factors such as smoking diabetes or high blood pressure

Lifestyle changes are essential to improve your cholesterol level To bring your numbers down lose excess weight eat healthy foods and increase your physical activity If you smoke quit

Lose extra pounds

Excess weight contributes to high cholesterol Losing even 5 to 10 pounds can help lower total cholesterol levels Start by taking an honest look at your eating habits and daily routine Consider your challenges to weight loss mdash and ways to overcome them Set long-term sustainable goals

Eat heart-healthy foods

What you eat has a direct impact on your cholesterol level In fact a diet rich in fiber and other cholesterol-lowering foods may help lower cholesterol as much as statin medication for some people

bullChoose healthier fats Saturated fat and trans fat raise your total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol Get no more than 10 percent of your daily calories from saturated fat Monounsaturated fat mdash found in olive peanut and canola oils mdash is a healthier option Almonds and walnuts are other sources of healthy fat

33

bullEliminate trans fats Trans fats which are often found in margarines and commercially baked cookies crackers and snack cakes are particularly bad for your cholesterol levels Not only do trans fats increase your total LDL (bad) cholesterol but they also lower your HDL (good) cholesterol

You may have noticed more food labels now market their products as trans fat-free But dont rely only on this label In the United States if a food contains less than 05 grams of trans fat a serving it can be marked trans fat-free It may not seem like much but if you eat a lot of foods with a small amount of trans fat it can add up quickly Instead read the ingredients list If a food contains a partially hydrogenated oil thats a trans fat and you should look for an alternative

bullLimit your dietary cholesterol Aim for no more than 300 milligrams (mg) of cholesterol a day mdash or less than 200 mg if you have heart disease The most concentrated sources of cholesterol include organ meats egg yolks and whole milk products Use lean cuts of meat egg substitutes and skim milk instead

bullSelect whole grains Various nutrients found in whole grains promote heart health Choose whole-grain breads whole-wheat pasta whole-wheat flour and brown rice Oatmeal and oat bran are other good choices

bullStock up on fruits and vegetables Fruits and vegetables are rich in dietary fiber which can help lower cholesterol Snack on seasonal fruits Experiment with vegetable-based casseroles soups and stir-fries

bullEat heart-healthy fish Some types of fish mdash such as cod tuna and halibut mdash have less total fat saturated fat and cholesterol than do meat and poultry Salmon mackerel and herring are rich in omega-3 fatty acids which help promote heart health

bullDrink alcohol only in moderation Moderate use of alcohol may increase your levels of HDL cholesterol mdash but the benefits arent strong enough to recommend alcohol for anyone who does-nt drink already If you choose to drink do so in moderation This means no more than one drink a day for women and one to two drinks a day for men

Exercise regularly

Regular exercise can help improve your cholesterol levels With your doctors OK work up to 30 to 60 minutes of exercise a day Take a brisk daily walk Ride your bike Swim laps To maintain your motivation keep it fun Find an exercise buddy or join an exercise group And you dont need to get all 30 to 60 minutes in one exercise session If you can squeeze in three to six 10-minute intervals of exercise youll still get some cholesterol-lowering benefits

Dont smoke

If you smoke stop Quitting can improve your HDL cholesterol level And the benefits dont end there Just 20 minutes after quitting your blood pressure decreases Within 24 hours your risk of a heart attack decreases Within one year your risk of heart disease is half that of a smokers Within 15 years your risk of heart disease is similar to that of someone whos never smoked

Four old retired men are walking down a

street in Lakeland Florida

They turn a corner and see a sign that says

Old Timers Bar - ALL drinks 10 cents

They look at each other and then go in thinking this is too good to be true

The old bartender says in a voice that carries across the room

Come on in and let me pour one for you Whatll it be gentlemen

Theres a fully stocked bar so each of the men orders a martini

In no time the bartender serves up four iced martinis shaken not stirred and says

Thatll be 10 cents each please

The four guys stare at the bartender for a moment then at each other

They cant believe their good luck

They pay the 40 cents finish their martinis and order another round

Again four excellent martinis are produced with the bartender again saying

ldquoThatrsquos 40 cents please

They pay the 40 cents but their curiosity gets the better of them

Theyve each had two martinis and havent even spent a dollar yet

Finally one of them says How can you afford to serve martinis as good as these for a dime a piece

Im a retired tailor from Orlando the bartender says and I always wanted to own a bar

Last year I hit the Lottery Jackpot for $125 million and decided to open this place

Every drink costs a dime Wine liquor beer its all the same

Wow Thats some story one of the men says

As the four of them sip at their martinis they cant help noticing seven other people

at the end of the bar who dont have any drinks in front of them and havent ordered

anything the whole time theyve been there

Nodding at the seven at the end of the bar

one of the men asks the Bartender Whats with them

The bartender says ldquoTheyrsquore retired people from CANADA

Theyrsquore waiting for Happy Hour when drinks are half-price

plus they have coupons

Back by popular demand IF there is enough interest

The last two years have been awesome

Folklorama 2015 is requesting confirmation of trips already so I need to know how many people are interested in

attending I do have a list of people who called some time ago and indicated interest but I need quite a few more to make it work We are able to keep the cost the same as last year and anyone who has gone in the past will tell you it is a real bargain

If you would like the opportunity to go to Folklorama without the line-ups hassle of parking enjoy preferential treatment at the pavilions and also get to enjoy both of the Casinos of Winnipeg and stay at the Club Regent Casino Hotel by Canad Inn give Marilyn a call right away (204-326-4939) I will plan for one trip only at this time and only consider both weeks if there is a lot of interest shown As in the past I will need commitments early If you are not sure if you are on my list call The dates I have in mind are Week 1 ndash Tuesday Aug 4th Wednesday August 5th Week 2 ndash Tuesday Aug 11th Wednesday Aug 12th

For those not familiar with the trip I am adding a sample of what the trip is like

Day one - Casino bus pickup at Steinbach 830 am - Ste Anne 840 - Paradise Village 900 am

- Arrive McPhillips Street Station in the morning 1000 am - arrive at Club Regent 230 pm and book in at the Canad Inn

- Early evening - arrive at 1st pavilion for an appetizer drink and show - After the show bus will take us to second pavilion for dinner drink and the show there - Finally our bus will take us to a third pavilion for dessert drink and their performance - When the evening is over our bus will take us back to Canad Inn at Club Regent for our overnight stay Your time is your own to do as you please until check out time the following day

Day two -enjoy Club Regent (or do whatever you wish) before leaving for the trip home at 200 pm Pavilions will be the choice of organizers (because of timing) Early commitment insures better pavilion choice Cost includes bus usual Casino Bus benefits of giveaways bingo etc (not the $1000 given on the free monthly trips) pavilion entrance fees food and drink at the pavilions shows and overnight stay ALL THIS FOR ONLY $8500 per person (based on double occupancy) Singles are welcome too but there is an additional charge of $5000 for hotel room unless you are sharing with someone This fantastic deal is only available through our casino bus and overnight stay is mandatory Offer is open to all you do not need to live in Paradise Village so let your friends know too (must be over 18)

There is no report for this month Larry Trush

So I have found some history on Square Dancing

for your reading pleasure Debbie Kokil Editor

Square dance is a dance for four couples (eight dancers) arranged in a square with one couple on each side facing the middle of the square Square dances were first documented in 17th-century England but were also quite common in France and throughout Europe They came to North America with the European settlers and have undergone considerable development there In some countries and regions through preservation and repetition square dances have attained the status of a folk dance

Traditional square dance which is also called old time square dance Traditional square dance is not standardized and can be subdivided into regional styles The New England and Appalachian styles have been particularly well documented both have survived to the present time There are several other styles some have survived or been revived in recent years some have not Traditional square dance is frequently presented in alternation with contra dances (particularly in revival groups) or with some form of freestyle couple dancing (at surviving local events) One ancestor of New England style square dances is the quadrille and older New England callers occasionally refer to their squares as ldquoquadrillesrdquo Where traditional square dance has been revived it encompasses a wide range of new choreography

Modern Western square dance (MWSD) which is also called Western square dance contemporary Western square dance or modern American square dance Modern Western square dance evolved from the Western style of traditional square dance from about 1940 to 1960 Traditional Western square dancing was promoted beginning in the 1930s by Lloyd Shaw who solicited definitions from callers across the country in order to preserve that dance form and make it available to other teachers Since the 1970s modern Western square dance has been promoted and standardized by Callerlab the International Association of Square Dance Callers Because of this standardization it is possible for anyone with the proper training to enjoy Modern Western square dancing in many countries around the world although instruction is typically given in the local language the calls are always in English Modern Western square dance is sometimes presented in alternation with round dances

My New Exercise Routine

Begin by standing on a comfortable surface where you have plenty of room at each side With a 5-lb potato bag in each hand extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long

as you can Try to reach a full minute and then relax

Each day youll find that you can hold this position for just a bit

longer

After a couple of weeks move up to 10-lb potato bags

Then try 50-lb potato bags and eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb potato bag in each hand and hold your arms

straight for more than a full minute (Im at this level)

After you feel confident at that level put a potato in each bag

High Cholesterol

Cholesterol is a waxy substance thats found in the fats (lipids) in your blood While your body

needs cholesterol to continue building healthy cells having high cholesterol can increase your risk of heart disease

When you have high cholesterol you may develop fatty deposits in your blood vessels Eventually these deposits make it difficult for enough blood to flow through your arteries Your heart may not get as much oxygen-rich blood as it needs which increases the risk of a heart attack Decreased blood flow to your brain can cause a stroke

High cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia) can be inherited but its often the result of unhealthy lifestyle choices and thus preventable and treatable A healthy diet regular exercise and sometimes medication can go a long way toward reducing high cholesterol

High cholesterol has no symptoms A blood test is the only way to detect high cholesterol

When to see a doctor

Ask your doctor for a baseline cholesterol test at age 20 and then have your cholesterol retested at least every five years If your test results arent within desirable ranges your doctor may recommend more frequent measurements Your doctor may also suggest you have more frequent tests if you have a family history of high cholesterol heart disease or other risk factors such as smoking diabetes or high blood pressure

Lifestyle changes are essential to improve your cholesterol level To bring your numbers down lose excess weight eat healthy foods and increase your physical activity If you smoke quit

Lose extra pounds

Excess weight contributes to high cholesterol Losing even 5 to 10 pounds can help lower total cholesterol levels Start by taking an honest look at your eating habits and daily routine Consider your challenges to weight loss mdash and ways to overcome them Set long-term sustainable goals

Eat heart-healthy foods

What you eat has a direct impact on your cholesterol level In fact a diet rich in fiber and other cholesterol-lowering foods may help lower cholesterol as much as statin medication for some people

bullChoose healthier fats Saturated fat and trans fat raise your total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol Get no more than 10 percent of your daily calories from saturated fat Monounsaturated fat mdash found in olive peanut and canola oils mdash is a healthier option Almonds and walnuts are other sources of healthy fat

33

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

bullEliminate trans fats Trans fats which are often found in margarines and commercially baked cookies crackers and snack cakes are particularly bad for your cholesterol levels Not only do trans fats increase your total LDL (bad) cholesterol but they also lower your HDL (good) cholesterol

You may have noticed more food labels now market their products as trans fat-free But dont rely only on this label In the United States if a food contains less than 05 grams of trans fat a serving it can be marked trans fat-free It may not seem like much but if you eat a lot of foods with a small amount of trans fat it can add up quickly Instead read the ingredients list If a food contains a partially hydrogenated oil thats a trans fat and you should look for an alternative

bullLimit your dietary cholesterol Aim for no more than 300 milligrams (mg) of cholesterol a day mdash or less than 200 mg if you have heart disease The most concentrated sources of cholesterol include organ meats egg yolks and whole milk products Use lean cuts of meat egg substitutes and skim milk instead

bullSelect whole grains Various nutrients found in whole grains promote heart health Choose whole-grain breads whole-wheat pasta whole-wheat flour and brown rice Oatmeal and oat bran are other good choices

bullStock up on fruits and vegetables Fruits and vegetables are rich in dietary fiber which can help lower cholesterol Snack on seasonal fruits Experiment with vegetable-based casseroles soups and stir-fries

bullEat heart-healthy fish Some types of fish mdash such as cod tuna and halibut mdash have less total fat saturated fat and cholesterol than do meat and poultry Salmon mackerel and herring are rich in omega-3 fatty acids which help promote heart health

bullDrink alcohol only in moderation Moderate use of alcohol may increase your levels of HDL cholesterol mdash but the benefits arent strong enough to recommend alcohol for anyone who does-nt drink already If you choose to drink do so in moderation This means no more than one drink a day for women and one to two drinks a day for men

Exercise regularly

Regular exercise can help improve your cholesterol levels With your doctors OK work up to 30 to 60 minutes of exercise a day Take a brisk daily walk Ride your bike Swim laps To maintain your motivation keep it fun Find an exercise buddy or join an exercise group And you dont need to get all 30 to 60 minutes in one exercise session If you can squeeze in three to six 10-minute intervals of exercise youll still get some cholesterol-lowering benefits

Dont smoke

If you smoke stop Quitting can improve your HDL cholesterol level And the benefits dont end there Just 20 minutes after quitting your blood pressure decreases Within 24 hours your risk of a heart attack decreases Within one year your risk of heart disease is half that of a smokers Within 15 years your risk of heart disease is similar to that of someone whos never smoked

Four old retired men are walking down a

street in Lakeland Florida

They turn a corner and see a sign that says

Old Timers Bar - ALL drinks 10 cents

They look at each other and then go in thinking this is too good to be true

The old bartender says in a voice that carries across the room

Come on in and let me pour one for you Whatll it be gentlemen

Theres a fully stocked bar so each of the men orders a martini

In no time the bartender serves up four iced martinis shaken not stirred and says

Thatll be 10 cents each please

The four guys stare at the bartender for a moment then at each other

They cant believe their good luck

They pay the 40 cents finish their martinis and order another round

Again four excellent martinis are produced with the bartender again saying

ldquoThatrsquos 40 cents please

They pay the 40 cents but their curiosity gets the better of them

Theyve each had two martinis and havent even spent a dollar yet

Finally one of them says How can you afford to serve martinis as good as these for a dime a piece

Im a retired tailor from Orlando the bartender says and I always wanted to own a bar

Last year I hit the Lottery Jackpot for $125 million and decided to open this place

Every drink costs a dime Wine liquor beer its all the same

Wow Thats some story one of the men says

As the four of them sip at their martinis they cant help noticing seven other people

at the end of the bar who dont have any drinks in front of them and havent ordered

anything the whole time theyve been there

Nodding at the seven at the end of the bar

one of the men asks the Bartender Whats with them

The bartender says ldquoTheyrsquore retired people from CANADA

Theyrsquore waiting for Happy Hour when drinks are half-price

plus they have coupons

There is no report for this month Larry Trush

So I have found some history on Square Dancing

for your reading pleasure Debbie Kokil Editor

Square dance is a dance for four couples (eight dancers) arranged in a square with one couple on each side facing the middle of the square Square dances were first documented in 17th-century England but were also quite common in France and throughout Europe They came to North America with the European settlers and have undergone considerable development there In some countries and regions through preservation and repetition square dances have attained the status of a folk dance

Traditional square dance which is also called old time square dance Traditional square dance is not standardized and can be subdivided into regional styles The New England and Appalachian styles have been particularly well documented both have survived to the present time There are several other styles some have survived or been revived in recent years some have not Traditional square dance is frequently presented in alternation with contra dances (particularly in revival groups) or with some form of freestyle couple dancing (at surviving local events) One ancestor of New England style square dances is the quadrille and older New England callers occasionally refer to their squares as ldquoquadrillesrdquo Where traditional square dance has been revived it encompasses a wide range of new choreography

Modern Western square dance (MWSD) which is also called Western square dance contemporary Western square dance or modern American square dance Modern Western square dance evolved from the Western style of traditional square dance from about 1940 to 1960 Traditional Western square dancing was promoted beginning in the 1930s by Lloyd Shaw who solicited definitions from callers across the country in order to preserve that dance form and make it available to other teachers Since the 1970s modern Western square dance has been promoted and standardized by Callerlab the International Association of Square Dance Callers Because of this standardization it is possible for anyone with the proper training to enjoy Modern Western square dancing in many countries around the world although instruction is typically given in the local language the calls are always in English Modern Western square dance is sometimes presented in alternation with round dances

temps finally rising Now we can concentrate on our ldquogolden glowrdquo suntans again Looks like

My New Exercise Routine

Begin by standing on a comfortable surface where you have plenty of room at each side With a 5-lb potato bag in each hand extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long

as you can Try to reach a full minute and then relax

Each day youll find that you can hold this position for just a bit

longer

After a couple of weeks move up to 10-lb potato bags

Then try 50-lb potato bags and eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb potato bag in each hand and hold your arms

straight for more than a full minute (Im at this level)

After you feel confident at that level put a potato in each bag

High Cholesterol

Cholesterol is a waxy substance thats found in the fats (lipids) in your blood While your body

needs cholesterol to continue building healthy cells having high cholesterol can increase your risk of heart disease

When you have high cholesterol you may develop fatty deposits in your blood vessels Eventually these deposits make it difficult for enough blood to flow through your arteries Your heart may not get as much oxygen-rich blood as it needs which increases the risk of a heart attack Decreased blood flow to your brain can cause a stroke

High cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia) can be inherited but its often the result of unhealthy lifestyle choices and thus preventable and treatable A healthy diet regular exercise and sometimes medication can go a long way toward reducing high cholesterol

High cholesterol has no symptoms A blood test is the only way to detect high cholesterol

When to see a doctor

Ask your doctor for a baseline cholesterol test at age 20 and then have your cholesterol retested at least every five years If your test results arent within desirable ranges your doctor may recommend more frequent measurements Your doctor may also suggest you have more frequent tests if you have a family history of high cholesterol heart disease or other risk factors such as smoking diabetes or high blood pressure

Lifestyle changes are essential to improve your cholesterol level To bring your numbers down lose excess weight eat healthy foods and increase your physical activity If you smoke quit

Lose extra pounds

Excess weight contributes to high cholesterol Losing even 5 to 10 pounds can help lower total cholesterol levels Start by taking an honest look at your eating habits and daily routine Consider your challenges to weight loss mdash and ways to overcome them Set long-term sustainable goals

Eat heart-healthy foods

What you eat has a direct impact on your cholesterol level In fact a diet rich in fiber and other cholesterol-lowering foods may help lower cholesterol as much as statin medication for some people

bullChoose healthier fats Saturated fat and trans fat raise your total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol Get no more than 10 percent of your daily calories from saturated fat Monounsaturated fat mdash found in olive peanut and canola oils mdash is a healthier option Almonds and walnuts are other sources of healthy fat

33

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

bullEliminate trans fats Trans fats which are often found in margarines and commercially baked cookies crackers and snack cakes are particularly bad for your cholesterol levels Not only do trans fats increase your total LDL (bad) cholesterol but they also lower your HDL (good) cholesterol

You may have noticed more food labels now market their products as trans fat-free But dont rely only on this label In the United States if a food contains less than 05 grams of trans fat a serving it can be marked trans fat-free It may not seem like much but if you eat a lot of foods with a small amount of trans fat it can add up quickly Instead read the ingredients list If a food contains a partially hydrogenated oil thats a trans fat and you should look for an alternative

bullLimit your dietary cholesterol Aim for no more than 300 milligrams (mg) of cholesterol a day mdash or less than 200 mg if you have heart disease The most concentrated sources of cholesterol include organ meats egg yolks and whole milk products Use lean cuts of meat egg substitutes and skim milk instead

bullSelect whole grains Various nutrients found in whole grains promote heart health Choose whole-grain breads whole-wheat pasta whole-wheat flour and brown rice Oatmeal and oat bran are other good choices

bullStock up on fruits and vegetables Fruits and vegetables are rich in dietary fiber which can help lower cholesterol Snack on seasonal fruits Experiment with vegetable-based casseroles soups and stir-fries

bullEat heart-healthy fish Some types of fish mdash such as cod tuna and halibut mdash have less total fat saturated fat and cholesterol than do meat and poultry Salmon mackerel and herring are rich in omega-3 fatty acids which help promote heart health

bullDrink alcohol only in moderation Moderate use of alcohol may increase your levels of HDL cholesterol mdash but the benefits arent strong enough to recommend alcohol for anyone who does-nt drink already If you choose to drink do so in moderation This means no more than one drink a day for women and one to two drinks a day for men

Exercise regularly

Regular exercise can help improve your cholesterol levels With your doctors OK work up to 30 to 60 minutes of exercise a day Take a brisk daily walk Ride your bike Swim laps To maintain your motivation keep it fun Find an exercise buddy or join an exercise group And you dont need to get all 30 to 60 minutes in one exercise session If you can squeeze in three to six 10-minute intervals of exercise youll still get some cholesterol-lowering benefits

Dont smoke

If you smoke stop Quitting can improve your HDL cholesterol level And the benefits dont end there Just 20 minutes after quitting your blood pressure decreases Within 24 hours your risk of a heart attack decreases Within one year your risk of heart disease is half that of a smokers Within 15 years your risk of heart disease is similar to that of someone whos never smoked

Four old retired men are walking down a

street in Lakeland Florida

They turn a corner and see a sign that says

Old Timers Bar - ALL drinks 10 cents

They look at each other and then go in thinking this is too good to be true

The old bartender says in a voice that carries across the room

Come on in and let me pour one for you Whatll it be gentlemen

Theres a fully stocked bar so each of the men orders a martini

In no time the bartender serves up four iced martinis shaken not stirred and says

Thatll be 10 cents each please

The four guys stare at the bartender for a moment then at each other

They cant believe their good luck

They pay the 40 cents finish their martinis and order another round

Again four excellent martinis are produced with the bartender again saying

ldquoThatrsquos 40 cents please

They pay the 40 cents but their curiosity gets the better of them

Theyve each had two martinis and havent even spent a dollar yet

Finally one of them says How can you afford to serve martinis as good as these for a dime a piece

Im a retired tailor from Orlando the bartender says and I always wanted to own a bar

Last year I hit the Lottery Jackpot for $125 million and decided to open this place

Every drink costs a dime Wine liquor beer its all the same

Wow Thats some story one of the men says

As the four of them sip at their martinis they cant help noticing seven other people

at the end of the bar who dont have any drinks in front of them and havent ordered

anything the whole time theyve been there

Nodding at the seven at the end of the bar

one of the men asks the Bartender Whats with them

The bartender says ldquoTheyrsquore retired people from CANADA

Theyrsquore waiting for Happy Hour when drinks are half-price

plus they have coupons

temps finally rising Now we can concentrate on our ldquogolden glowrdquo suntans again Looks like

My New Exercise Routine

Begin by standing on a comfortable surface where you have plenty of room at each side With a 5-lb potato bag in each hand extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long

as you can Try to reach a full minute and then relax

Each day youll find that you can hold this position for just a bit

longer

After a couple of weeks move up to 10-lb potato bags

Then try 50-lb potato bags and eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb potato bag in each hand and hold your arms

straight for more than a full minute (Im at this level)

After you feel confident at that level put a potato in each bag

High Cholesterol

Cholesterol is a waxy substance thats found in the fats (lipids) in your blood While your body

needs cholesterol to continue building healthy cells having high cholesterol can increase your risk of heart disease

When you have high cholesterol you may develop fatty deposits in your blood vessels Eventually these deposits make it difficult for enough blood to flow through your arteries Your heart may not get as much oxygen-rich blood as it needs which increases the risk of a heart attack Decreased blood flow to your brain can cause a stroke

High cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia) can be inherited but its often the result of unhealthy lifestyle choices and thus preventable and treatable A healthy diet regular exercise and sometimes medication can go a long way toward reducing high cholesterol

High cholesterol has no symptoms A blood test is the only way to detect high cholesterol

When to see a doctor

Ask your doctor for a baseline cholesterol test at age 20 and then have your cholesterol retested at least every five years If your test results arent within desirable ranges your doctor may recommend more frequent measurements Your doctor may also suggest you have more frequent tests if you have a family history of high cholesterol heart disease or other risk factors such as smoking diabetes or high blood pressure

Lifestyle changes are essential to improve your cholesterol level To bring your numbers down lose excess weight eat healthy foods and increase your physical activity If you smoke quit

Lose extra pounds

Excess weight contributes to high cholesterol Losing even 5 to 10 pounds can help lower total cholesterol levels Start by taking an honest look at your eating habits and daily routine Consider your challenges to weight loss mdash and ways to overcome them Set long-term sustainable goals

Eat heart-healthy foods

What you eat has a direct impact on your cholesterol level In fact a diet rich in fiber and other cholesterol-lowering foods may help lower cholesterol as much as statin medication for some people

bullChoose healthier fats Saturated fat and trans fat raise your total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol Get no more than 10 percent of your daily calories from saturated fat Monounsaturated fat mdash found in olive peanut and canola oils mdash is a healthier option Almonds and walnuts are other sources of healthy fat

33

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

bullEliminate trans fats Trans fats which are often found in margarines and commercially baked cookies crackers and snack cakes are particularly bad for your cholesterol levels Not only do trans fats increase your total LDL (bad) cholesterol but they also lower your HDL (good) cholesterol

You may have noticed more food labels now market their products as trans fat-free But dont rely only on this label In the United States if a food contains less than 05 grams of trans fat a serving it can be marked trans fat-free It may not seem like much but if you eat a lot of foods with a small amount of trans fat it can add up quickly Instead read the ingredients list If a food contains a partially hydrogenated oil thats a trans fat and you should look for an alternative

bullLimit your dietary cholesterol Aim for no more than 300 milligrams (mg) of cholesterol a day mdash or less than 200 mg if you have heart disease The most concentrated sources of cholesterol include organ meats egg yolks and whole milk products Use lean cuts of meat egg substitutes and skim milk instead

bullSelect whole grains Various nutrients found in whole grains promote heart health Choose whole-grain breads whole-wheat pasta whole-wheat flour and brown rice Oatmeal and oat bran are other good choices

bullStock up on fruits and vegetables Fruits and vegetables are rich in dietary fiber which can help lower cholesterol Snack on seasonal fruits Experiment with vegetable-based casseroles soups and stir-fries

bullEat heart-healthy fish Some types of fish mdash such as cod tuna and halibut mdash have less total fat saturated fat and cholesterol than do meat and poultry Salmon mackerel and herring are rich in omega-3 fatty acids which help promote heart health

bullDrink alcohol only in moderation Moderate use of alcohol may increase your levels of HDL cholesterol mdash but the benefits arent strong enough to recommend alcohol for anyone who does-nt drink already If you choose to drink do so in moderation This means no more than one drink a day for women and one to two drinks a day for men

Exercise regularly

Regular exercise can help improve your cholesterol levels With your doctors OK work up to 30 to 60 minutes of exercise a day Take a brisk daily walk Ride your bike Swim laps To maintain your motivation keep it fun Find an exercise buddy or join an exercise group And you dont need to get all 30 to 60 minutes in one exercise session If you can squeeze in three to six 10-minute intervals of exercise youll still get some cholesterol-lowering benefits

Dont smoke

If you smoke stop Quitting can improve your HDL cholesterol level And the benefits dont end there Just 20 minutes after quitting your blood pressure decreases Within 24 hours your risk of a heart attack decreases Within one year your risk of heart disease is half that of a smokers Within 15 years your risk of heart disease is similar to that of someone whos never smoked

Four old retired men are walking down a

street in Lakeland Florida

They turn a corner and see a sign that says

Old Timers Bar - ALL drinks 10 cents

They look at each other and then go in thinking this is too good to be true

The old bartender says in a voice that carries across the room

Come on in and let me pour one for you Whatll it be gentlemen

Theres a fully stocked bar so each of the men orders a martini

In no time the bartender serves up four iced martinis shaken not stirred and says

Thatll be 10 cents each please

The four guys stare at the bartender for a moment then at each other

They cant believe their good luck

They pay the 40 cents finish their martinis and order another round

Again four excellent martinis are produced with the bartender again saying

ldquoThatrsquos 40 cents please

They pay the 40 cents but their curiosity gets the better of them

Theyve each had two martinis and havent even spent a dollar yet

Finally one of them says How can you afford to serve martinis as good as these for a dime a piece

Im a retired tailor from Orlando the bartender says and I always wanted to own a bar

Last year I hit the Lottery Jackpot for $125 million and decided to open this place

Every drink costs a dime Wine liquor beer its all the same

Wow Thats some story one of the men says

As the four of them sip at their martinis they cant help noticing seven other people

at the end of the bar who dont have any drinks in front of them and havent ordered

anything the whole time theyve been there

Nodding at the seven at the end of the bar

one of the men asks the Bartender Whats with them

The bartender says ldquoTheyrsquore retired people from CANADA

Theyrsquore waiting for Happy Hour when drinks are half-price

plus they have coupons

My New Exercise Routine

Begin by standing on a comfortable surface where you have plenty of room at each side With a 5-lb potato bag in each hand extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long

as you can Try to reach a full minute and then relax

Each day youll find that you can hold this position for just a bit

longer

After a couple of weeks move up to 10-lb potato bags

Then try 50-lb potato bags and eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb potato bag in each hand and hold your arms

straight for more than a full minute (Im at this level)

After you feel confident at that level put a potato in each bag

High Cholesterol

Cholesterol is a waxy substance thats found in the fats (lipids) in your blood While your body

needs cholesterol to continue building healthy cells having high cholesterol can increase your risk of heart disease

When you have high cholesterol you may develop fatty deposits in your blood vessels Eventually these deposits make it difficult for enough blood to flow through your arteries Your heart may not get as much oxygen-rich blood as it needs which increases the risk of a heart attack Decreased blood flow to your brain can cause a stroke

High cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia) can be inherited but its often the result of unhealthy lifestyle choices and thus preventable and treatable A healthy diet regular exercise and sometimes medication can go a long way toward reducing high cholesterol

High cholesterol has no symptoms A blood test is the only way to detect high cholesterol

When to see a doctor

Ask your doctor for a baseline cholesterol test at age 20 and then have your cholesterol retested at least every five years If your test results arent within desirable ranges your doctor may recommend more frequent measurements Your doctor may also suggest you have more frequent tests if you have a family history of high cholesterol heart disease or other risk factors such as smoking diabetes or high blood pressure

Lifestyle changes are essential to improve your cholesterol level To bring your numbers down lose excess weight eat healthy foods and increase your physical activity If you smoke quit

Lose extra pounds

Excess weight contributes to high cholesterol Losing even 5 to 10 pounds can help lower total cholesterol levels Start by taking an honest look at your eating habits and daily routine Consider your challenges to weight loss mdash and ways to overcome them Set long-term sustainable goals

Eat heart-healthy foods

What you eat has a direct impact on your cholesterol level In fact a diet rich in fiber and other cholesterol-lowering foods may help lower cholesterol as much as statin medication for some people

bullChoose healthier fats Saturated fat and trans fat raise your total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol Get no more than 10 percent of your daily calories from saturated fat Monounsaturated fat mdash found in olive peanut and canola oils mdash is a healthier option Almonds and walnuts are other sources of healthy fat

33

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

bullEliminate trans fats Trans fats which are often found in margarines and commercially baked cookies crackers and snack cakes are particularly bad for your cholesterol levels Not only do trans fats increase your total LDL (bad) cholesterol but they also lower your HDL (good) cholesterol

You may have noticed more food labels now market their products as trans fat-free But dont rely only on this label In the United States if a food contains less than 05 grams of trans fat a serving it can be marked trans fat-free It may not seem like much but if you eat a lot of foods with a small amount of trans fat it can add up quickly Instead read the ingredients list If a food contains a partially hydrogenated oil thats a trans fat and you should look for an alternative

bullLimit your dietary cholesterol Aim for no more than 300 milligrams (mg) of cholesterol a day mdash or less than 200 mg if you have heart disease The most concentrated sources of cholesterol include organ meats egg yolks and whole milk products Use lean cuts of meat egg substitutes and skim milk instead

bullSelect whole grains Various nutrients found in whole grains promote heart health Choose whole-grain breads whole-wheat pasta whole-wheat flour and brown rice Oatmeal and oat bran are other good choices

bullStock up on fruits and vegetables Fruits and vegetables are rich in dietary fiber which can help lower cholesterol Snack on seasonal fruits Experiment with vegetable-based casseroles soups and stir-fries

bullEat heart-healthy fish Some types of fish mdash such as cod tuna and halibut mdash have less total fat saturated fat and cholesterol than do meat and poultry Salmon mackerel and herring are rich in omega-3 fatty acids which help promote heart health

bullDrink alcohol only in moderation Moderate use of alcohol may increase your levels of HDL cholesterol mdash but the benefits arent strong enough to recommend alcohol for anyone who does-nt drink already If you choose to drink do so in moderation This means no more than one drink a day for women and one to two drinks a day for men

Exercise regularly

Regular exercise can help improve your cholesterol levels With your doctors OK work up to 30 to 60 minutes of exercise a day Take a brisk daily walk Ride your bike Swim laps To maintain your motivation keep it fun Find an exercise buddy or join an exercise group And you dont need to get all 30 to 60 minutes in one exercise session If you can squeeze in three to six 10-minute intervals of exercise youll still get some cholesterol-lowering benefits

Dont smoke

If you smoke stop Quitting can improve your HDL cholesterol level And the benefits dont end there Just 20 minutes after quitting your blood pressure decreases Within 24 hours your risk of a heart attack decreases Within one year your risk of heart disease is half that of a smokers Within 15 years your risk of heart disease is similar to that of someone whos never smoked

Four old retired men are walking down a

street in Lakeland Florida

They turn a corner and see a sign that says

Old Timers Bar - ALL drinks 10 cents

They look at each other and then go in thinking this is too good to be true

The old bartender says in a voice that carries across the room

Come on in and let me pour one for you Whatll it be gentlemen

Theres a fully stocked bar so each of the men orders a martini

In no time the bartender serves up four iced martinis shaken not stirred and says

Thatll be 10 cents each please

The four guys stare at the bartender for a moment then at each other

They cant believe their good luck

They pay the 40 cents finish their martinis and order another round

Again four excellent martinis are produced with the bartender again saying

ldquoThatrsquos 40 cents please

They pay the 40 cents but their curiosity gets the better of them

Theyve each had two martinis and havent even spent a dollar yet

Finally one of them says How can you afford to serve martinis as good as these for a dime a piece

Im a retired tailor from Orlando the bartender says and I always wanted to own a bar

Last year I hit the Lottery Jackpot for $125 million and decided to open this place

Every drink costs a dime Wine liquor beer its all the same

Wow Thats some story one of the men says

As the four of them sip at their martinis they cant help noticing seven other people

at the end of the bar who dont have any drinks in front of them and havent ordered

anything the whole time theyve been there

Nodding at the seven at the end of the bar

one of the men asks the Bartender Whats with them

The bartender says ldquoTheyrsquore retired people from CANADA

Theyrsquore waiting for Happy Hour when drinks are half-price

plus they have coupons

My New Exercise Routine

Begin by standing on a comfortable surface where you have plenty of room at each side With a 5-lb potato bag in each hand extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long

as you can Try to reach a full minute and then relax

Each day youll find that you can hold this position for just a bit

longer

After a couple of weeks move up to 10-lb potato bags

Then try 50-lb potato bags and eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb potato bag in each hand and hold your arms

straight for more than a full minute (Im at this level)

After you feel confident at that level put a potato in each bag

High Cholesterol

Cholesterol is a waxy substance thats found in the fats (lipids) in your blood While your body

needs cholesterol to continue building healthy cells having high cholesterol can increase your risk of heart disease

When you have high cholesterol you may develop fatty deposits in your blood vessels Eventually these deposits make it difficult for enough blood to flow through your arteries Your heart may not get as much oxygen-rich blood as it needs which increases the risk of a heart attack Decreased blood flow to your brain can cause a stroke

High cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia) can be inherited but its often the result of unhealthy lifestyle choices and thus preventable and treatable A healthy diet regular exercise and sometimes medication can go a long way toward reducing high cholesterol

High cholesterol has no symptoms A blood test is the only way to detect high cholesterol

When to see a doctor

Ask your doctor for a baseline cholesterol test at age 20 and then have your cholesterol retested at least every five years If your test results arent within desirable ranges your doctor may recommend more frequent measurements Your doctor may also suggest you have more frequent tests if you have a family history of high cholesterol heart disease or other risk factors such as smoking diabetes or high blood pressure

Lifestyle changes are essential to improve your cholesterol level To bring your numbers down lose excess weight eat healthy foods and increase your physical activity If you smoke quit

Lose extra pounds

Excess weight contributes to high cholesterol Losing even 5 to 10 pounds can help lower total cholesterol levels Start by taking an honest look at your eating habits and daily routine Consider your challenges to weight loss mdash and ways to overcome them Set long-term sustainable goals

Eat heart-healthy foods

What you eat has a direct impact on your cholesterol level In fact a diet rich in fiber and other cholesterol-lowering foods may help lower cholesterol as much as statin medication for some people

bullChoose healthier fats Saturated fat and trans fat raise your total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol Get no more than 10 percent of your daily calories from saturated fat Monounsaturated fat mdash found in olive peanut and canola oils mdash is a healthier option Almonds and walnuts are other sources of healthy fat

33

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

bullEliminate trans fats Trans fats which are often found in margarines and commercially baked cookies crackers and snack cakes are particularly bad for your cholesterol levels Not only do trans fats increase your total LDL (bad) cholesterol but they also lower your HDL (good) cholesterol

You may have noticed more food labels now market their products as trans fat-free But dont rely only on this label In the United States if a food contains less than 05 grams of trans fat a serving it can be marked trans fat-free It may not seem like much but if you eat a lot of foods with a small amount of trans fat it can add up quickly Instead read the ingredients list If a food contains a partially hydrogenated oil thats a trans fat and you should look for an alternative

bullLimit your dietary cholesterol Aim for no more than 300 milligrams (mg) of cholesterol a day mdash or less than 200 mg if you have heart disease The most concentrated sources of cholesterol include organ meats egg yolks and whole milk products Use lean cuts of meat egg substitutes and skim milk instead

bullSelect whole grains Various nutrients found in whole grains promote heart health Choose whole-grain breads whole-wheat pasta whole-wheat flour and brown rice Oatmeal and oat bran are other good choices

bullStock up on fruits and vegetables Fruits and vegetables are rich in dietary fiber which can help lower cholesterol Snack on seasonal fruits Experiment with vegetable-based casseroles soups and stir-fries

bullEat heart-healthy fish Some types of fish mdash such as cod tuna and halibut mdash have less total fat saturated fat and cholesterol than do meat and poultry Salmon mackerel and herring are rich in omega-3 fatty acids which help promote heart health

bullDrink alcohol only in moderation Moderate use of alcohol may increase your levels of HDL cholesterol mdash but the benefits arent strong enough to recommend alcohol for anyone who does-nt drink already If you choose to drink do so in moderation This means no more than one drink a day for women and one to two drinks a day for men

Exercise regularly

Regular exercise can help improve your cholesterol levels With your doctors OK work up to 30 to 60 minutes of exercise a day Take a brisk daily walk Ride your bike Swim laps To maintain your motivation keep it fun Find an exercise buddy or join an exercise group And you dont need to get all 30 to 60 minutes in one exercise session If you can squeeze in three to six 10-minute intervals of exercise youll still get some cholesterol-lowering benefits

Dont smoke

If you smoke stop Quitting can improve your HDL cholesterol level And the benefits dont end there Just 20 minutes after quitting your blood pressure decreases Within 24 hours your risk of a heart attack decreases Within one year your risk of heart disease is half that of a smokers Within 15 years your risk of heart disease is similar to that of someone whos never smoked

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

Four old retired men are walking down a

street in Lakeland Florida

They turn a corner and see a sign that says

Old Timers Bar - ALL drinks 10 cents

They look at each other and then go in thinking this is too good to be true

The old bartender says in a voice that carries across the room

Come on in and let me pour one for you Whatll it be gentlemen

Theres a fully stocked bar so each of the men orders a martini

In no time the bartender serves up four iced martinis shaken not stirred and says

Thatll be 10 cents each please

The four guys stare at the bartender for a moment then at each other

They cant believe their good luck

They pay the 40 cents finish their martinis and order another round

Again four excellent martinis are produced with the bartender again saying

ldquoThatrsquos 40 cents please

They pay the 40 cents but their curiosity gets the better of them

Theyve each had two martinis and havent even spent a dollar yet

Finally one of them says How can you afford to serve martinis as good as these for a dime a piece

Im a retired tailor from Orlando the bartender says and I always wanted to own a bar

Last year I hit the Lottery Jackpot for $125 million and decided to open this place

Every drink costs a dime Wine liquor beer its all the same

Wow Thats some story one of the men says

As the four of them sip at their martinis they cant help noticing seven other people

at the end of the bar who dont have any drinks in front of them and havent ordered

anything the whole time theyve been there

Nodding at the seven at the end of the bar

one of the men asks the Bartender Whats with them

The bartender says ldquoTheyrsquore retired people from CANADA

Theyrsquore waiting for Happy Hour when drinks are half-price

plus they have coupons

My New Exercise Routine

Begin by standing on a comfortable surface where you have plenty of room at each side With a 5-lb potato bag in each hand extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long

as you can Try to reach a full minute and then relax

Each day youll find that you can hold this position for just a bit

longer

After a couple of weeks move up to 10-lb potato bags

Then try 50-lb potato bags and eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb potato bag in each hand and hold your arms

straight for more than a full minute (Im at this level)

After you feel confident at that level put a potato in each bag

High Cholesterol

Cholesterol is a waxy substance thats found in the fats (lipids) in your blood While your body

needs cholesterol to continue building healthy cells having high cholesterol can increase your risk of heart disease

When you have high cholesterol you may develop fatty deposits in your blood vessels Eventually these deposits make it difficult for enough blood to flow through your arteries Your heart may not get as much oxygen-rich blood as it needs which increases the risk of a heart attack Decreased blood flow to your brain can cause a stroke

High cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia) can be inherited but its often the result of unhealthy lifestyle choices and thus preventable and treatable A healthy diet regular exercise and sometimes medication can go a long way toward reducing high cholesterol

High cholesterol has no symptoms A blood test is the only way to detect high cholesterol

When to see a doctor

Ask your doctor for a baseline cholesterol test at age 20 and then have your cholesterol retested at least every five years If your test results arent within desirable ranges your doctor may recommend more frequent measurements Your doctor may also suggest you have more frequent tests if you have a family history of high cholesterol heart disease or other risk factors such as smoking diabetes or high blood pressure

Lifestyle changes are essential to improve your cholesterol level To bring your numbers down lose excess weight eat healthy foods and increase your physical activity If you smoke quit

Lose extra pounds

Excess weight contributes to high cholesterol Losing even 5 to 10 pounds can help lower total cholesterol levels Start by taking an honest look at your eating habits and daily routine Consider your challenges to weight loss mdash and ways to overcome them Set long-term sustainable goals

Eat heart-healthy foods

What you eat has a direct impact on your cholesterol level In fact a diet rich in fiber and other cholesterol-lowering foods may help lower cholesterol as much as statin medication for some people

bullChoose healthier fats Saturated fat and trans fat raise your total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol Get no more than 10 percent of your daily calories from saturated fat Monounsaturated fat mdash found in olive peanut and canola oils mdash is a healthier option Almonds and walnuts are other sources of healthy fat

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

bullEliminate trans fats Trans fats which are often found in margarines and commercially baked cookies crackers and snack cakes are particularly bad for your cholesterol levels Not only do trans fats increase your total LDL (bad) cholesterol but they also lower your HDL (good) cholesterol

You may have noticed more food labels now market their products as trans fat-free But dont rely only on this label In the United States if a food contains less than 05 grams of trans fat a serving it can be marked trans fat-free It may not seem like much but if you eat a lot of foods with a small amount of trans fat it can add up quickly Instead read the ingredients list If a food contains a partially hydrogenated oil thats a trans fat and you should look for an alternative

bullLimit your dietary cholesterol Aim for no more than 300 milligrams (mg) of cholesterol a day mdash or less than 200 mg if you have heart disease The most concentrated sources of cholesterol include organ meats egg yolks and whole milk products Use lean cuts of meat egg substitutes and skim milk instead

bullSelect whole grains Various nutrients found in whole grains promote heart health Choose whole-grain breads whole-wheat pasta whole-wheat flour and brown rice Oatmeal and oat bran are other good choices

bullStock up on fruits and vegetables Fruits and vegetables are rich in dietary fiber which can help lower cholesterol Snack on seasonal fruits Experiment with vegetable-based casseroles soups and stir-fries

bullEat heart-healthy fish Some types of fish mdash such as cod tuna and halibut mdash have less total fat saturated fat and cholesterol than do meat and poultry Salmon mackerel and herring are rich in omega-3 fatty acids which help promote heart health

bullDrink alcohol only in moderation Moderate use of alcohol may increase your levels of HDL cholesterol mdash but the benefits arent strong enough to recommend alcohol for anyone who does-nt drink already If you choose to drink do so in moderation This means no more than one drink a day for women and one to two drinks a day for men

Exercise regularly

Regular exercise can help improve your cholesterol levels With your doctors OK work up to 30 to 60 minutes of exercise a day Take a brisk daily walk Ride your bike Swim laps To maintain your motivation keep it fun Find an exercise buddy or join an exercise group And you dont need to get all 30 to 60 minutes in one exercise session If you can squeeze in three to six 10-minute intervals of exercise youll still get some cholesterol-lowering benefits

Dont smoke

If you smoke stop Quitting can improve your HDL cholesterol level And the benefits dont end there Just 20 minutes after quitting your blood pressure decreases Within 24 hours your risk of a heart attack decreases Within one year your risk of heart disease is half that of a smokers Within 15 years your risk of heart disease is similar to that of someone whos never smoked

Four old retired men are walking down a

street in Lakeland Florida

They turn a corner and see a sign that says

Old Timers Bar - ALL drinks 10 cents

They look at each other and then go in thinking this is too good to be true

The old bartender says in a voice that carries across the room

Come on in and let me pour one for you Whatll it be gentlemen

Theres a fully stocked bar so each of the men orders a martini

In no time the bartender serves up four iced martinis shaken not stirred and says

Thatll be 10 cents each please

The four guys stare at the bartender for a moment then at each other

They cant believe their good luck

They pay the 40 cents finish their martinis and order another round

Again four excellent martinis are produced with the bartender again saying

ldquoThatrsquos 40 cents please

They pay the 40 cents but their curiosity gets the better of them

Theyve each had two martinis and havent even spent a dollar yet

Finally one of them says How can you afford to serve martinis as good as these for a dime a piece

Im a retired tailor from Orlando the bartender says and I always wanted to own a bar

Last year I hit the Lottery Jackpot for $125 million and decided to open this place

Every drink costs a dime Wine liquor beer its all the same

Wow Thats some story one of the men says

As the four of them sip at their martinis they cant help noticing seven other people

at the end of the bar who dont have any drinks in front of them and havent ordered

anything the whole time theyve been there

Nodding at the seven at the end of the bar

one of the men asks the Bartender Whats with them

The bartender says ldquoTheyrsquore retired people from CANADA

Theyrsquore waiting for Happy Hour when drinks are half-price

plus they have coupons

My New Exercise Routine

Begin by standing on a comfortable surface where you have plenty of room at each side With a 5-lb potato bag in each hand extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long

as you can Try to reach a full minute and then relax

Each day youll find that you can hold this position for just a bit

longer

After a couple of weeks move up to 10-lb potato bags

Then try 50-lb potato bags and eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb potato bag in each hand and hold your arms

straight for more than a full minute (Im at this level)

After you feel confident at that level put a potato in each bag

High Cholesterol

Cholesterol is a waxy substance thats found in the fats (lipids) in your blood While your body

needs cholesterol to continue building healthy cells having high cholesterol can increase your risk of heart disease

When you have high cholesterol you may develop fatty deposits in your blood vessels Eventually these deposits make it difficult for enough blood to flow through your arteries Your heart may not get as much oxygen-rich blood as it needs which increases the risk of a heart attack Decreased blood flow to your brain can cause a stroke

High cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia) can be inherited but its often the result of unhealthy lifestyle choices and thus preventable and treatable A healthy diet regular exercise and sometimes medication can go a long way toward reducing high cholesterol

High cholesterol has no symptoms A blood test is the only way to detect high cholesterol

When to see a doctor

Ask your doctor for a baseline cholesterol test at age 20 and then have your cholesterol retested at least every five years If your test results arent within desirable ranges your doctor may recommend more frequent measurements Your doctor may also suggest you have more frequent tests if you have a family history of high cholesterol heart disease or other risk factors such as smoking diabetes or high blood pressure

Lifestyle changes are essential to improve your cholesterol level To bring your numbers down lose excess weight eat healthy foods and increase your physical activity If you smoke quit

Lose extra pounds

Excess weight contributes to high cholesterol Losing even 5 to 10 pounds can help lower total cholesterol levels Start by taking an honest look at your eating habits and daily routine Consider your challenges to weight loss mdash and ways to overcome them Set long-term sustainable goals

Eat heart-healthy foods

What you eat has a direct impact on your cholesterol level In fact a diet rich in fiber and other cholesterol-lowering foods may help lower cholesterol as much as statin medication for some people

bullChoose healthier fats Saturated fat and trans fat raise your total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol Get no more than 10 percent of your daily calories from saturated fat Monounsaturated fat mdash found in olive peanut and canola oils mdash is a healthier option Almonds and walnuts are other sources of healthy fat

33

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

bullEliminate trans fats Trans fats which are often found in margarines and commercially baked cookies crackers and snack cakes are particularly bad for your cholesterol levels Not only do trans fats increase your total LDL (bad) cholesterol but they also lower your HDL (good) cholesterol

You may have noticed more food labels now market their products as trans fat-free But dont rely only on this label In the United States if a food contains less than 05 grams of trans fat a serving it can be marked trans fat-free It may not seem like much but if you eat a lot of foods with a small amount of trans fat it can add up quickly Instead read the ingredients list If a food contains a partially hydrogenated oil thats a trans fat and you should look for an alternative

bullLimit your dietary cholesterol Aim for no more than 300 milligrams (mg) of cholesterol a day mdash or less than 200 mg if you have heart disease The most concentrated sources of cholesterol include organ meats egg yolks and whole milk products Use lean cuts of meat egg substitutes and skim milk instead

bullSelect whole grains Various nutrients found in whole grains promote heart health Choose whole-grain breads whole-wheat pasta whole-wheat flour and brown rice Oatmeal and oat bran are other good choices

bullStock up on fruits and vegetables Fruits and vegetables are rich in dietary fiber which can help lower cholesterol Snack on seasonal fruits Experiment with vegetable-based casseroles soups and stir-fries

bullEat heart-healthy fish Some types of fish mdash such as cod tuna and halibut mdash have less total fat saturated fat and cholesterol than do meat and poultry Salmon mackerel and herring are rich in omega-3 fatty acids which help promote heart health

bullDrink alcohol only in moderation Moderate use of alcohol may increase your levels of HDL cholesterol mdash but the benefits arent strong enough to recommend alcohol for anyone who does-nt drink already If you choose to drink do so in moderation This means no more than one drink a day for women and one to two drinks a day for men

Exercise regularly

Regular exercise can help improve your cholesterol levels With your doctors OK work up to 30 to 60 minutes of exercise a day Take a brisk daily walk Ride your bike Swim laps To maintain your motivation keep it fun Find an exercise buddy or join an exercise group And you dont need to get all 30 to 60 minutes in one exercise session If you can squeeze in three to six 10-minute intervals of exercise youll still get some cholesterol-lowering benefits

Dont smoke

If you smoke stop Quitting can improve your HDL cholesterol level And the benefits dont end there Just 20 minutes after quitting your blood pressure decreases Within 24 hours your risk of a heart attack decreases Within one year your risk of heart disease is half that of a smokers Within 15 years your risk of heart disease is similar to that of someone whos never smoked

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

Four old retired men are walking down a

street in Lakeland Florida

They turn a corner and see a sign that says

Old Timers Bar - ALL drinks 10 cents

They look at each other and then go in thinking this is too good to be true

The old bartender says in a voice that carries across the room

Come on in and let me pour one for you Whatll it be gentlemen

Theres a fully stocked bar so each of the men orders a martini

In no time the bartender serves up four iced martinis shaken not stirred and says

Thatll be 10 cents each please

The four guys stare at the bartender for a moment then at each other

They cant believe their good luck

They pay the 40 cents finish their martinis and order another round

Again four excellent martinis are produced with the bartender again saying

ldquoThatrsquos 40 cents please

They pay the 40 cents but their curiosity gets the better of them

Theyve each had two martinis and havent even spent a dollar yet

Finally one of them says How can you afford to serve martinis as good as these for a dime a piece

Im a retired tailor from Orlando the bartender says and I always wanted to own a bar

Last year I hit the Lottery Jackpot for $125 million and decided to open this place

Every drink costs a dime Wine liquor beer its all the same

Wow Thats some story one of the men says

As the four of them sip at their martinis they cant help noticing seven other people

at the end of the bar who dont have any drinks in front of them and havent ordered

anything the whole time theyve been there

Nodding at the seven at the end of the bar

one of the men asks the Bartender Whats with them

The bartender says ldquoTheyrsquore retired people from CANADA

Theyrsquore waiting for Happy Hour when drinks are half-price

plus they have coupons

My New Exercise Routine

Begin by standing on a comfortable surface where you have plenty of room at each side With a 5-lb potato bag in each hand extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long

as you can Try to reach a full minute and then relax

Each day youll find that you can hold this position for just a bit

longer

After a couple of weeks move up to 10-lb potato bags

Then try 50-lb potato bags and eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb potato bag in each hand and hold your arms

straight for more than a full minute (Im at this level)

After you feel confident at that level put a potato in each bag

High Cholesterol

Cholesterol is a waxy substance thats found in the fats (lipids) in your blood While your body

needs cholesterol to continue building healthy cells having high cholesterol can increase your risk of heart disease

When you have high cholesterol you may develop fatty deposits in your blood vessels Eventually these deposits make it difficult for enough blood to flow through your arteries Your heart may not get as much oxygen-rich blood as it needs which increases the risk of a heart attack Decreased blood flow to your brain can cause a stroke

High cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia) can be inherited but its often the result of unhealthy lifestyle choices and thus preventable and treatable A healthy diet regular exercise and sometimes medication can go a long way toward reducing high cholesterol

High cholesterol has no symptoms A blood test is the only way to detect high cholesterol

When to see a doctor

Ask your doctor for a baseline cholesterol test at age 20 and then have your cholesterol retested at least every five years If your test results arent within desirable ranges your doctor may recommend more frequent measurements Your doctor may also suggest you have more frequent tests if you have a family history of high cholesterol heart disease or other risk factors such as smoking diabetes or high blood pressure

Lifestyle changes are essential to improve your cholesterol level To bring your numbers down lose excess weight eat healthy foods and increase your physical activity If you smoke quit

Lose extra pounds

Excess weight contributes to high cholesterol Losing even 5 to 10 pounds can help lower total cholesterol levels Start by taking an honest look at your eating habits and daily routine Consider your challenges to weight loss mdash and ways to overcome them Set long-term sustainable goals

Eat heart-healthy foods

What you eat has a direct impact on your cholesterol level In fact a diet rich in fiber and other cholesterol-lowering foods may help lower cholesterol as much as statin medication for some people

bullChoose healthier fats Saturated fat and trans fat raise your total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol Get no more than 10 percent of your daily calories from saturated fat Monounsaturated fat mdash found in olive peanut and canola oils mdash is a healthier option Almonds and walnuts are other sources of healthy fat

33

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

bullEliminate trans fats Trans fats which are often found in margarines and commercially baked cookies crackers and snack cakes are particularly bad for your cholesterol levels Not only do trans fats increase your total LDL (bad) cholesterol but they also lower your HDL (good) cholesterol

You may have noticed more food labels now market their products as trans fat-free But dont rely only on this label In the United States if a food contains less than 05 grams of trans fat a serving it can be marked trans fat-free It may not seem like much but if you eat a lot of foods with a small amount of trans fat it can add up quickly Instead read the ingredients list If a food contains a partially hydrogenated oil thats a trans fat and you should look for an alternative

bullLimit your dietary cholesterol Aim for no more than 300 milligrams (mg) of cholesterol a day mdash or less than 200 mg if you have heart disease The most concentrated sources of cholesterol include organ meats egg yolks and whole milk products Use lean cuts of meat egg substitutes and skim milk instead

bullSelect whole grains Various nutrients found in whole grains promote heart health Choose whole-grain breads whole-wheat pasta whole-wheat flour and brown rice Oatmeal and oat bran are other good choices

bullStock up on fruits and vegetables Fruits and vegetables are rich in dietary fiber which can help lower cholesterol Snack on seasonal fruits Experiment with vegetable-based casseroles soups and stir-fries

bullEat heart-healthy fish Some types of fish mdash such as cod tuna and halibut mdash have less total fat saturated fat and cholesterol than do meat and poultry Salmon mackerel and herring are rich in omega-3 fatty acids which help promote heart health

bullDrink alcohol only in moderation Moderate use of alcohol may increase your levels of HDL cholesterol mdash but the benefits arent strong enough to recommend alcohol for anyone who does-nt drink already If you choose to drink do so in moderation This means no more than one drink a day for women and one to two drinks a day for men

Exercise regularly

Regular exercise can help improve your cholesterol levels With your doctors OK work up to 30 to 60 minutes of exercise a day Take a brisk daily walk Ride your bike Swim laps To maintain your motivation keep it fun Find an exercise buddy or join an exercise group And you dont need to get all 30 to 60 minutes in one exercise session If you can squeeze in three to six 10-minute intervals of exercise youll still get some cholesterol-lowering benefits

Dont smoke

If you smoke stop Quitting can improve your HDL cholesterol level And the benefits dont end there Just 20 minutes after quitting your blood pressure decreases Within 24 hours your risk of a heart attack decreases Within one year your risk of heart disease is half that of a smokers Within 15 years your risk of heart disease is similar to that of someone whos never smoked

and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

My New Exercise Routine

Begin by standing on a comfortable surface where you have plenty of room at each side With a 5-lb potato bag in each hand extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long

as you can Try to reach a full minute and then relax

Each day youll find that you can hold this position for just a bit

longer

After a couple of weeks move up to 10-lb potato bags

Then try 50-lb potato bags and eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb potato bag in each hand and hold your arms

straight for more than a full minute (Im at this level)

After you feel confident at that level put a potato in each bag

High Cholesterol

Cholesterol is a waxy substance thats found in the fats (lipids) in your blood While your body

needs cholesterol to continue building healthy cells having high cholesterol can increase your risk of heart disease

When you have high cholesterol you may develop fatty deposits in your blood vessels Eventually these deposits make it difficult for enough blood to flow through your arteries Your heart may not get as much oxygen-rich blood as it needs which increases the risk of a heart attack Decreased blood flow to your brain can cause a stroke

High cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia) can be inherited but its often the result of unhealthy lifestyle choices and thus preventable and treatable A healthy diet regular exercise and sometimes medication can go a long way toward reducing high cholesterol

High cholesterol has no symptoms A blood test is the only way to detect high cholesterol

When to see a doctor

Ask your doctor for a baseline cholesterol test at age 20 and then have your cholesterol retested at least every five years If your test results arent within desirable ranges your doctor may recommend more frequent measurements Your doctor may also suggest you have more frequent tests if you have a family history of high cholesterol heart disease or other risk factors such as smoking diabetes or high blood pressure

Lifestyle changes are essential to improve your cholesterol level To bring your numbers down lose excess weight eat healthy foods and increase your physical activity If you smoke quit

Lose extra pounds

Excess weight contributes to high cholesterol Losing even 5 to 10 pounds can help lower total cholesterol levels Start by taking an honest look at your eating habits and daily routine Consider your challenges to weight loss mdash and ways to overcome them Set long-term sustainable goals

Eat heart-healthy foods

What you eat has a direct impact on your cholesterol level In fact a diet rich in fiber and other cholesterol-lowering foods may help lower cholesterol as much as statin medication for some people

bullChoose healthier fats Saturated fat and trans fat raise your total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol Get no more than 10 percent of your daily calories from saturated fat Monounsaturated fat mdash found in olive peanut and canola oils mdash is a healthier option Almonds and walnuts are other sources of healthy fat

33

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

bullEliminate trans fats Trans fats which are often found in margarines and commercially baked cookies crackers and snack cakes are particularly bad for your cholesterol levels Not only do trans fats increase your total LDL (bad) cholesterol but they also lower your HDL (good) cholesterol

You may have noticed more food labels now market their products as trans fat-free But dont rely only on this label In the United States if a food contains less than 05 grams of trans fat a serving it can be marked trans fat-free It may not seem like much but if you eat a lot of foods with a small amount of trans fat it can add up quickly Instead read the ingredients list If a food contains a partially hydrogenated oil thats a trans fat and you should look for an alternative

bullLimit your dietary cholesterol Aim for no more than 300 milligrams (mg) of cholesterol a day mdash or less than 200 mg if you have heart disease The most concentrated sources of cholesterol include organ meats egg yolks and whole milk products Use lean cuts of meat egg substitutes and skim milk instead

bullSelect whole grains Various nutrients found in whole grains promote heart health Choose whole-grain breads whole-wheat pasta whole-wheat flour and brown rice Oatmeal and oat bran are other good choices

bullStock up on fruits and vegetables Fruits and vegetables are rich in dietary fiber which can help lower cholesterol Snack on seasonal fruits Experiment with vegetable-based casseroles soups and stir-fries

bullEat heart-healthy fish Some types of fish mdash such as cod tuna and halibut mdash have less total fat saturated fat and cholesterol than do meat and poultry Salmon mackerel and herring are rich in omega-3 fatty acids which help promote heart health

bullDrink alcohol only in moderation Moderate use of alcohol may increase your levels of HDL cholesterol mdash but the benefits arent strong enough to recommend alcohol for anyone who does-nt drink already If you choose to drink do so in moderation This means no more than one drink a day for women and one to two drinks a day for men

Exercise regularly

Regular exercise can help improve your cholesterol levels With your doctors OK work up to 30 to 60 minutes of exercise a day Take a brisk daily walk Ride your bike Swim laps To maintain your motivation keep it fun Find an exercise buddy or join an exercise group And you dont need to get all 30 to 60 minutes in one exercise session If you can squeeze in three to six 10-minute intervals of exercise youll still get some cholesterol-lowering benefits

Dont smoke

If you smoke stop Quitting can improve your HDL cholesterol level And the benefits dont end there Just 20 minutes after quitting your blood pressure decreases Within 24 hours your risk of a heart attack decreases Within one year your risk of heart disease is half that of a smokers Within 15 years your risk of heart disease is similar to that of someone whos never smoked

and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

Four old retired men are walking down a

street in Lakeland Florida

They turn a corner and see a sign that says

Old Timers Bar - ALL drinks 10 cents

They look at each other and then go in thinking this is too good to be true

The old bartender says in a voice that carries across the room

Come on in and let me pour one for you Whatll it be gentlemen

Theres a fully stocked bar so each of the men orders a martini

In no time the bartender serves up four iced martinis shaken not stirred and says

Thatll be 10 cents each please

The four guys stare at the bartender for a moment then at each other

They cant believe their good luck

They pay the 40 cents finish their martinis and order another round

Again four excellent martinis are produced with the bartender again saying

ldquoThatrsquos 40 cents please

They pay the 40 cents but their curiosity gets the better of them

Theyve each had two martinis and havent even spent a dollar yet

Finally one of them says How can you afford to serve martinis as good as these for a dime a piece

Im a retired tailor from Orlando the bartender says and I always wanted to own a bar

Last year I hit the Lottery Jackpot for $125 million and decided to open this place

Every drink costs a dime Wine liquor beer its all the same

Wow Thats some story one of the men says

As the four of them sip at their martinis they cant help noticing seven other people

at the end of the bar who dont have any drinks in front of them and havent ordered

anything the whole time theyve been there

Nodding at the seven at the end of the bar

one of the men asks the Bartender Whats with them

The bartender says ldquoTheyrsquore retired people from CANADA

Theyrsquore waiting for Happy Hour when drinks are half-price

plus they have coupons

High Cholesterol

Cholesterol is a waxy substance thats found in the fats (lipids) in your blood While your body

needs cholesterol to continue building healthy cells having high cholesterol can increase your risk of heart disease

When you have high cholesterol you may develop fatty deposits in your blood vessels Eventually these deposits make it difficult for enough blood to flow through your arteries Your heart may not get as much oxygen-rich blood as it needs which increases the risk of a heart attack Decreased blood flow to your brain can cause a stroke

High cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia) can be inherited but its often the result of unhealthy lifestyle choices and thus preventable and treatable A healthy diet regular exercise and sometimes medication can go a long way toward reducing high cholesterol

High cholesterol has no symptoms A blood test is the only way to detect high cholesterol

When to see a doctor

Ask your doctor for a baseline cholesterol test at age 20 and then have your cholesterol retested at least every five years If your test results arent within desirable ranges your doctor may recommend more frequent measurements Your doctor may also suggest you have more frequent tests if you have a family history of high cholesterol heart disease or other risk factors such as smoking diabetes or high blood pressure

Lifestyle changes are essential to improve your cholesterol level To bring your numbers down lose excess weight eat healthy foods and increase your physical activity If you smoke quit

Lose extra pounds

Excess weight contributes to high cholesterol Losing even 5 to 10 pounds can help lower total cholesterol levels Start by taking an honest look at your eating habits and daily routine Consider your challenges to weight loss mdash and ways to overcome them Set long-term sustainable goals

Eat heart-healthy foods

What you eat has a direct impact on your cholesterol level In fact a diet rich in fiber and other cholesterol-lowering foods may help lower cholesterol as much as statin medication for some people

bullChoose healthier fats Saturated fat and trans fat raise your total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol Get no more than 10 percent of your daily calories from saturated fat Monounsaturated fat mdash found in olive peanut and canola oils mdash is a healthier option Almonds and walnuts are other sources of healthy fat

33

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

bullEliminate trans fats Trans fats which are often found in margarines and commercially baked cookies crackers and snack cakes are particularly bad for your cholesterol levels Not only do trans fats increase your total LDL (bad) cholesterol but they also lower your HDL (good) cholesterol

You may have noticed more food labels now market their products as trans fat-free But dont rely only on this label In the United States if a food contains less than 05 grams of trans fat a serving it can be marked trans fat-free It may not seem like much but if you eat a lot of foods with a small amount of trans fat it can add up quickly Instead read the ingredients list If a food contains a partially hydrogenated oil thats a trans fat and you should look for an alternative

bullLimit your dietary cholesterol Aim for no more than 300 milligrams (mg) of cholesterol a day mdash or less than 200 mg if you have heart disease The most concentrated sources of cholesterol include organ meats egg yolks and whole milk products Use lean cuts of meat egg substitutes and skim milk instead

bullSelect whole grains Various nutrients found in whole grains promote heart health Choose whole-grain breads whole-wheat pasta whole-wheat flour and brown rice Oatmeal and oat bran are other good choices

bullStock up on fruits and vegetables Fruits and vegetables are rich in dietary fiber which can help lower cholesterol Snack on seasonal fruits Experiment with vegetable-based casseroles soups and stir-fries

bullEat heart-healthy fish Some types of fish mdash such as cod tuna and halibut mdash have less total fat saturated fat and cholesterol than do meat and poultry Salmon mackerel and herring are rich in omega-3 fatty acids which help promote heart health

bullDrink alcohol only in moderation Moderate use of alcohol may increase your levels of HDL cholesterol mdash but the benefits arent strong enough to recommend alcohol for anyone who does-nt drink already If you choose to drink do so in moderation This means no more than one drink a day for women and one to two drinks a day for men

Exercise regularly

Regular exercise can help improve your cholesterol levels With your doctors OK work up to 30 to 60 minutes of exercise a day Take a brisk daily walk Ride your bike Swim laps To maintain your motivation keep it fun Find an exercise buddy or join an exercise group And you dont need to get all 30 to 60 minutes in one exercise session If you can squeeze in three to six 10-minute intervals of exercise youll still get some cholesterol-lowering benefits

Dont smoke

If you smoke stop Quitting can improve your HDL cholesterol level And the benefits dont end there Just 20 minutes after quitting your blood pressure decreases Within 24 hours your risk of a heart attack decreases Within one year your risk of heart disease is half that of a smokers Within 15 years your risk of heart disease is similar to that of someone whos never smoked

Four old retired men are walking down a

street in Lakeland Florida

They turn a corner and see a sign that says

Old Timers Bar - ALL drinks 10 cents

They look at each other and then go in thinking this is too good to be true

The old bartender says in a voice that carries across the room

Come on in and let me pour one for you Whatll it be gentlemen

Theres a fully stocked bar so each of the men orders a martini

In no time the bartender serves up four iced martinis shaken not stirred and says

Thatll be 10 cents each please

The four guys stare at the bartender for a moment then at each other

They cant believe their good luck

They pay the 40 cents finish their martinis and order another round

Again four excellent martinis are produced with the bartender again saying

ldquoThatrsquos 40 cents please

They pay the 40 cents but their curiosity gets the better of them

Theyve each had two martinis and havent even spent a dollar yet

Finally one of them says How can you afford to serve martinis as good as these for a dime a piece

Im a retired tailor from Orlando the bartender says and I always wanted to own a bar

Last year I hit the Lottery Jackpot for $125 million and decided to open this place

Every drink costs a dime Wine liquor beer its all the same

Wow Thats some story one of the men says

As the four of them sip at their martinis they cant help noticing seven other people

at the end of the bar who dont have any drinks in front of them and havent ordered

anything the whole time theyve been there

Nodding at the seven at the end of the bar

one of the men asks the Bartender Whats with them

The bartender says ldquoTheyrsquore retired people from CANADA

Theyrsquore waiting for Happy Hour when drinks are half-price

plus they have coupons

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

Four old retired men are walking down a

street in Lakeland Florida

They turn a corner and see a sign that says

Old Timers Bar - ALL drinks 10 cents

They look at each other and then go in thinking this is too good to be true

The old bartender says in a voice that carries across the room

Come on in and let me pour one for you Whatll it be gentlemen

Theres a fully stocked bar so each of the men orders a martini

In no time the bartender serves up four iced martinis shaken not stirred and says

Thatll be 10 cents each please

The four guys stare at the bartender for a moment then at each other

They cant believe their good luck

They pay the 40 cents finish their martinis and order another round

Again four excellent martinis are produced with the bartender again saying

ldquoThatrsquos 40 cents please

They pay the 40 cents but their curiosity gets the better of them

Theyve each had two martinis and havent even spent a dollar yet

Finally one of them says How can you afford to serve martinis as good as these for a dime a piece

Im a retired tailor from Orlando the bartender says and I always wanted to own a bar

Last year I hit the Lottery Jackpot for $125 million and decided to open this place

Every drink costs a dime Wine liquor beer its all the same

Wow Thats some story one of the men says

As the four of them sip at their martinis they cant help noticing seven other people

at the end of the bar who dont have any drinks in front of them and havent ordered

anything the whole time theyve been there

Nodding at the seven at the end of the bar

one of the men asks the Bartender Whats with them

The bartender says ldquoTheyrsquore retired people from CANADA

Theyrsquore waiting for Happy Hour when drinks are half-price

plus they have coupons

Four old retired men are walking down a

street in Lakeland Florida

They turn a corner and see a sign that says

Old Timers Bar - ALL drinks 10 cents

They look at each other and then go in thinking this is too good to be true

The old bartender says in a voice that carries across the room

Come on in and let me pour one for you Whatll it be gentlemen

Theres a fully stocked bar so each of the men orders a martini

In no time the bartender serves up four iced martinis shaken not stirred and says

Thatll be 10 cents each please

The four guys stare at the bartender for a moment then at each other

They cant believe their good luck

They pay the 40 cents finish their martinis and order another round

Again four excellent martinis are produced with the bartender again saying

ldquoThatrsquos 40 cents please

They pay the 40 cents but their curiosity gets the better of them

Theyve each had two martinis and havent even spent a dollar yet

Finally one of them says How can you afford to serve martinis as good as these for a dime a piece

Im a retired tailor from Orlando the bartender says and I always wanted to own a bar

Last year I hit the Lottery Jackpot for $125 million and decided to open this place

Every drink costs a dime Wine liquor beer its all the same

Wow Thats some story one of the men says

As the four of them sip at their martinis they cant help noticing seven other people

at the end of the bar who dont have any drinks in front of them and havent ordered

anything the whole time theyve been there

Nodding at the seven at the end of the bar

one of the men asks the Bartender Whats with them

The bartender says ldquoTheyrsquore retired people from CANADA

Theyrsquore waiting for Happy Hour when drinks are half-price

plus they have coupons

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

Four old retired men are walking down a

street in Lakeland Florida

They turn a corner and see a sign that says

Old Timers Bar - ALL drinks 10 cents

They look at each other and then go in thinking this is too good to be true

The old bartender says in a voice that carries across the room

Come on in and let me pour one for you Whatll it be gentlemen

Theres a fully stocked bar so each of the men orders a martini

In no time the bartender serves up four iced martinis shaken not stirred and says

Thatll be 10 cents each please

The four guys stare at the bartender for a moment then at each other

They cant believe their good luck

They pay the 40 cents finish their martinis and order another round

Again four excellent martinis are produced with the bartender again saying

ldquoThatrsquos 40 cents please

They pay the 40 cents but their curiosity gets the better of them

Theyve each had two martinis and havent even spent a dollar yet

Finally one of them says How can you afford to serve martinis as good as these for a dime a piece

Im a retired tailor from Orlando the bartender says and I always wanted to own a bar

Last year I hit the Lottery Jackpot for $125 million and decided to open this place

Every drink costs a dime Wine liquor beer its all the same

Wow Thats some story one of the men says

As the four of them sip at their martinis they cant help noticing seven other people

at the end of the bar who dont have any drinks in front of them and havent ordered

anything the whole time theyve been there

Nodding at the seven at the end of the bar

one of the men asks the Bartender Whats with them

The bartender says ldquoTheyrsquore retired people from CANADA

Theyrsquore waiting for Happy Hour when drinks are half-price

plus they have coupons
