Words from the Editor Debbie Kokil

Welcome month of March I am sure that I speak for all of us when I say that we are not

happy with this past Winter season and we look forward to Spring and the coming of

Summer 2015 My Mom and I have personally experienced way too many freeze-ups of

our sewer system and do not want any more If any of you have experienced the same

problems we should all put our heads together and try to find a fix unless someone here

has already found one I also feel that an article dedicated to living in a mobile home

would be beneficial to us all (those is particular who have never lived in a mobile home

before) I welcome ideas suggestions information and solutions that can be shared

among us going forward and if we work together we could keep the cost down too

On a more positive note I want to thank all of you who have shown gratitude and given

me kind words about the PVRA newsletter that I create each month It is my pleasure to

work on this newsletter and I feel that as each one is created it gets better and better

Your monthly submissions are awesome and I am always open to new ideas amp creativity

I also want to thank Larry Menec for taking on the task of interviewing ldquopeople of interestrdquo

for this newsletter Many of us have a story so donrsquot be shy give him a call

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

A man was sitting on the edge of the bed watching his wife who was looking at herself in the mirror Since her birthday was not far off he asked

what shed like to have for her birthday

Id like to be eight again she replied still looking in the mirror

On the morning of her Birthday he arose early He made her a nice big bowl of Coco Pops and then took her to Adventure World theme park

What a day He put her on every ride in the park the Death Slide the Wall of Fear the Screaming

Roller Coaster everything there was Five hours later they staggered out of the theme park Her head was reeling and her stomach felt

upside down

He then took her to a McDonalds where he ordered her a Happy Meal

with extra fries and a chocolate shake

Then it was off to a movie with popcorn a soda pop and her favourite candy MampMs

What a fabulous adventure Finally she wobbled home with her husband

and collapsed into the bed exhausted He leaned over his wife with a big smile

and lovingly asked

Well Dear what was it like being eight againrdquo Her eyes slowly opened and her expression suddenly changed

I meant my dress size you f retard

The moral of the story Even when a man is listening

he is gonna get it wrong

I have experienced life in Paradise

since I moved here as wonderful

but this is no Paradise when

the temperature plummets

and the sewer pipe freezes

Always be ready with this

Keeping a Sharp Mind In Retirement

As we slowly move through our retirement years

with small projectsLike this guy

I know I saw it right away hellip

No safety glasses or hearing protection

And I caught something else that is really

important toohellip he has no gloves on

Take Time

If you have never stood in awe

with sleep still in your eyes

And beheld the blazing glory

when at dawn the sun does rise

If you have never walked upon the grass

when wet with dew

And caught the shimmering sparkle

of the lights of pearly hue

Take Time

If you have never paused to hear

the robins as they sing

You know yoursquove missed the message

that has heralded the spring

And if yoursquove never watched a rose

itrsquos beauty to unfold

Yoursquove really missed a miracle

a wonder to behold

Take Time

Have you ever watched the raindrops

as to earth they gently fall

Without their healing magic

there would be no life at all

Have you ever on a summerrsquos day

given thanks for cooling breeze

As it rustles through the branches

of the tall and shady trees

Take Time

Have you ever stood as though transfixed

to wish upon a star

And felt their very nearness

although they shone so far

Have you ever paused to listen

to the drove of bumble bees

Or wished that you might be as free

To soar about at ease

An unwary bug to take

Take Time

Have you watched a furry caterpillar

wriggle through the grass

Or sensed a hiding cricket set

in silence as you pass

See the beauty of a water lily

floating on the lake

Where a bullfrog rests at leisure

Take Time

Have you listened to music

of a gurgling creek in spring

Or watched the beauteous butterfly

flit by on silken wing

Just to watch the fluffy snowflakes

as they flutter down to earth

Like diamonds in their sparkle

but to us have much more worth

Take Time

Have you ever watched the glorious sunset

as it nestles in the West

Bringing end to daily duties

beckons all the earth to rest

If yoursquove never paused to wonder

as such thins there are so many

Then you have missed so much in life

that doesnrsquot cost a penny

Take Time

Submitted by Paradise Resident Barb Prior

Many people worry about becoming more forgetful fearing it is the first sign of Alzheimers disease

In the past memory loss and confusion were considered a normal part of aging However scientists now

recognize that most people remain both alert and able as they age although it may take longer to remember

things

A lot of people experience memory lapses Some memory problems are serious and others are

not People with serious changes in memory personality and behavior may suffer from a form of brain

disease called Dementia Dementia affects a persons ability to carry out activities of daily living

Dementia is not part of aging

Some Causes of Dementia

- Adverse reaction to medication - Vision andor hearing problems

- Poor nutrition leading to nutritional imbalances and Vitamin deficiency - Minor head injuries

- Infections - Diabetes - Renal disease - Thyroid disease

With accurate diagnosis comes help and management

Symptoms of Dementia

- Asking the same question repeatedly - Becoming lost in familiar places

- Being unable to follow directions - Being disorientated about time people and places

- Neglecting hygiene nutrition or safety

21

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

The two most common forms of Dementia are Alzheimers disease and Vascular dementia

These two at the present are irreversible

In Alzheimers disease nerve cells change in certain parts of the brain resulting in the death of a large

number of brain cells As the disease progresses symptoms led to serious impairment in thinking judgement

and performance of daily activities

Vascular disease is caused by a series of strokes or changes in the blood supply to the brain resulting

in death of brain tissue The location and severity of the strokes determine the seriousness of the impairment

Symptoms begin abruptly and there is no way to reverse the damage caused by the stroke Treatment to

prevent further strokes is very important

Diagnosis of Dementia includes a complete medical history past and present prescriptions and over

the counter medications diet and general health The doctor will perform blood and urine tests as well as

problem solving and memory testing Because correct diagnosis depends on recalling details it would be

prudent to ask a family member to accompany you to the appointment

Treatment involves helping patients and there families to cope with the irreversible aspects of the

disease People with early and middle stages of Alzheimers can be treated with medications to delay the

worsening of some of the symptoms

For Vascular disease dementia it is important to prevent further strokes by controlling hypertension

treating high cholesterol controlling diabetes and refraining from smoking

Medication to reduce anxiety agitation depression or sleeping problems may be prescribed

Scientists are working to develop new drugs that someday may slow reverse or prevent Dementia

In the Feb 11 2015 Winnipeg Free Press there is an article regarding stroke cure which involves extracting

clots from the arteries they block This results in lower number of deaths and improved post stroke quality of

life

People with no Dementia should strive to keep there memory sharp Develop or remain involved in

activities that stimulate your mind and body Limit the use of alcohol because heavy drinking overtime can

cause permanent brain damage Take advantage of activities available here in the village such as cards

dancing books puzzles shuffle board and the pool or exercise equipment to socialize and activate your

mind and decrease depression Video and computer games are also great at keeping your mind sharp

regardless of what we told our children and grandchildren as they spent countless hours playing their games

These games stimulate the mind to make split second decisions and improves eye-hand co-ordination

Physical and mental changes occur with age in healthy people However much pain and suffering

can be avoided if the elderly their families and their doctor recognize that Dementia is a disease and not

part of normal aging

Panama Cruise

We left Fort Lauderdale FL November 28th aboard the MS Zuiderdam for a ten day Panama cruise Ports of call included Half Moon Cay Bahamas Oranjestad Aruba Willemstad Curacao Colon Panama and Limon Costa Rica Highlights included going through the Panama Canal visiting the Embera Village in Panama via dugout canoe and a pontoon boat river tour in Costa Rica Weather was great all in all we had a wonderful time Larry amp Carole Trush

The Panama Canal connects the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans It is a 48 mile canal that is important for international

maritime trade Construction of the canal began in 1881 by France but there were engineering problems and too

many people were dying due to disease Construction stopped until the US took over in 1904 They took 10 years to

complete the canal The canal allowed ships to travel between the two oceans more safely and in half the time

In 1999 the Panamanian government took control of the canal The Panama Canal is one of the Seven Wonders of the

Modern World

Everyone has a story It may concern a career a hobby an achievement an experience etc etc In the PVRA 2015 newsletters we would like to profile residents of Paradise Village If you know of anyone you would like to see profiled call me at 204-422-5712 and I will try to arrange for an interview Larry Menec and the PVRA Newsletter

After learning of George Coyles varied life experiences I thought jockey of all trades might be an

appropriate descriptor In addition to racing horses he was involved in car racing motorcycle racing boxing served

in the British Navy and worked as an Electrician

At the age of 14 George worked in racing stables as a stable hand and exercise person He raced horses as an

amateur until age 17 He then moved to Wales where he trained horses for fox hunting

At the age 18 George joined the British Navy and served on the aircraft carrier The Implacable He trained

as a rigger and worked on aircraft frames When George became involved in boxing he found a lot of competition

among the 2200 men on the ship He recalls that in his first fight he walked into a right hand thrown by a Scotsman

and was knocked out within 30 seconds Things improved considerably and George was soon winning regularly

He went to Kent on leave and met Joyce They soon married a marriage they are proud to say has lasted 62

years They later moved to Essex also in England where George became employed as an electrician with the Ford

Motor Company During that time he raced motorcycles and cars throughout England

George and Joyce moved to Canada in the early 1970s They first settled in Shoal Lake MB where George

worked as an electrician a profession he continued to work at when they moved to Winnipeg this time at St Josephs

personal care home They moved to Paradise Village in the early 1990s and George retired several years later

When asked about memorable experiences George told the story of 2 sisters with the surname Coyle who

were involved in the murder of 8 British soldiers in Northern Ireland George was detained by police in London when

he was overheard using the name Coyle He was held for several hours and nearly missed the start of their holiday

There were humorous experiences When on holidays in Mauritius they met a Chinese bookmaker When

George mentioned that Joyce was a psychic the bookmaker asked her to pick the race winners She correctly picked

the winners and the bookmaker made a lot of money This information soon spread and Joyce had to lock herself in a

washroom to escape the crowd

On their return from Mauritius their granddaughter went missing during the flight She was found on the

second floor of the jumbo jet in deep conversation with Engelbert Humperdinck

When asked about a bucket list George ever the adventurer says he would like to skydive That would be the

icing on an interesting cake

Potatoes Well a Girl Potato and Boy Potato had eyes for each other and got married and had a little Sweet Potato which they called Yam Of course they wanted the best for Yam When it was time they told her about the facts of life They warned her about going out and getting Half-baked so she

wouldnt get accidentally Mashed and get a bad name for herself like Hot Potato and end up with a bunch of Tater Tots Yam said not to worry no Spud would get her into the sack and make a Rotten Potato out of her But on the other hand she wouldnt stay home and become a Couch

Potato either She would get plenty of exercise so as not to be skinny like her Shoestring Cousins When she went off to Europe Mr and Mrs Potato told Yam to watch out for the

Hard-Boiled guys from Ireland the Greasy guys from France called the French Fries and when she went out west to watch out for the Indians so she wouldnt get scalloped Yam said she

would stay on the straight and narrow and wouldnt associate with those high class Yukon Golds or the ones from the Other Side of the tracks who advertise their trade on all the trucks that say

Frito Lay Mr and Mrs Potato sent Yam to Idaho P U (thats Potato University) so that when she graduated shed really Be In the Chips But in spite of all they did for her one day Yam came

home and announced she was going to marry Peter Mansbridge Yes Peter Mansbridge

Mr and Mrs Potato were very upset They told Yam she couldnt possibly marry

Peter Mansbridge because hes just

Kidney Infection

The kidneys are a pair of bean-shaped organs found along the posterior wall of the abdominal

cavity The left kidney is located slightly higher than the right kidney because the right side of the

liver is much larger than the left side The kidneys unlike the other organs of the abdominal cavity

are located posterior to the peritoneum and touch the muscles of the back The kidneys are

surrounded by a layer of adipose that holds them in place and protects them from physical

damage The kidneys filter metabolic wastes excess ions and chemicals from the blood to form

urine

Kidney infection (pyelonephritis) is a specific type of urinary tract infection (UTI) that generally begins in your urethra or bladder and travels up into your kidneys

A kidney infection requires prompt medical attention If not treated properly a kidney infection can permanently damage your kidneys or the bacteria can spread to your bloodstream and cause a life-threatening infection

Kidney infection treatment usually includes antibiotics and often requires hospitalization

Signs and symptoms of a kidney infection may include

bullFever bullBack side (flank) or groin pain bullAbdominal pain bullFrequent urination bullStrong persistent urge to urinate

bullBurning sensation or pain when urinating bullPus or blood in your urine (hematuria)

bullUrine that smells bad or is cloudy

When to see a doctor

Make an appointment with your doctor if you have any signs or symptoms that worry you Also make an appointment if youre being treated for a urinary tract infection but your signs and symp-toms arent improving

Severe kidney infection can lead to life-threatening complications Seek immediate medical atten-tion if you experience typical kidney infection symptoms combined with bloody urine or nausea and vomiting

If left untreated a kidney infection can lead to potentially serious complications such as

bullPermanent kidney damage Permanent kidney damage can lead to chronic kidney disease

bullBlood poisoning (septicemia) Your kidneys filter waste from your blood and then return your blood to the rest of your body If you have a kidney infection the bacteria can spread as the kid-neys return blood to circulation

On Saturday the 21st of February I had the pleasure of

attending a drama performance entitled ldquoSistersrdquo at the Providence

University College in Otterburne MB Set in Nova Scotia ldquoSistersrdquo is

a tough uncompromising look at a convent-run Native residential

school The play was very thought-provoking not skimming over the

wrongs done through the residential schools in the slightest but telling

the story from the nunsrsquo point of view which is not heard quite as often

The religious people are often demonized in this scenario and though

they did in many if not most cases do absolutely horrific things

unfortunately they often truly believed they were doing the right thing

The point of the play was that Christian people with good intensions

can still do very horrible and damaging things in the name of God The

people who created the Residential Schools did so in the firm belief that

their culture was better than the cultures of Canadarsquos indigenous

peoples Seeing the history through the eyes of Mary left me thinking

how tough it must have been for the nuns Becoming a nun for Mary

did not go in the direction she had envisioned We did not see the

priests or the government officials who instituted and ran the schools

Unseen their controlling presence demonstrated the prejudice and

domination that poisons Mary her fellow Sisters and us This play is a

confession an opportunity to speak the truth about the past so there

may be hope for reconciliation in the future ldquoSistersrdquo reminds us to

pay attention to the things we donrsquot see and to listen for the

silences that repress curiosity and truth-telling By Debbie Kokil

A man was sitting on the edge of the bed watching his wife who was looking at herself in the mirror Since her birthday was not far off he asked

what shed like to have for her birthday

Id like to be eight again she replied still looking in the mirror

On the morning of her Birthday he arose early He made her a nice big bowl of Coco Pops and then took her to Adventure World theme park

What a day He put her on every ride in the park the Death Slide the Wall of Fear the Screaming

Roller Coaster everything there was Five hours later they staggered out of the theme park Her head was reeling and her stomach felt

upside down

He then took her to a McDonalds where he ordered her a Happy Meal

with extra fries and a chocolate shake

Then it was off to a movie with popcorn a soda pop and her favourite candy MampMs

What a fabulous adventure Finally she wobbled home with her husband

and collapsed into the bed exhausted He leaned over his wife with a big smile

and lovingly asked

Well Dear what was it like being eight againrdquo Her eyes slowly opened and her expression suddenly changed

I meant my dress size you f retard

The moral of the story Even when a man is listening

he is gonna get it wrong

I have experienced life in Paradise

since I moved here as wonderful

but this is no Paradise when

the temperature plummets

and the sewer pipe freezes

Always be ready with this

Take Time

If you have never stood in awe

with sleep still in your eyes

And beheld the blazing glory

when at dawn the sun does rise

If you have never walked upon the grass

when wet with dew

And caught the shimmering sparkle

of the lights of pearly hue

Take Time

If you have never paused to hear

the robins as they sing

You know yoursquove missed the message

that has heralded the spring

And if yoursquove never watched a rose

itrsquos beauty to unfold

Yoursquove really missed a miracle

a wonder to behold

Take Time

Have you ever watched the raindrops

as to earth they gently fall

Without their healing magic

there would be no life at all

Have you ever on a summerrsquos day

given thanks for cooling breeze

As it rustles through the branches

of the tall and shady trees

Take Time

Have you ever stood as though transfixed

to wish upon a star

And felt their very nearness

although they shone so far

Have you ever paused to listen

to the drove of bumble bees

Or wished that you might be as free

To soar about at ease

An unwary bug to take

Take Time

Have you watched a furry caterpillar

wriggle through the grass

Or sensed a hiding cricket set

in silence as you pass

See the beauty of a water lily

floating on the lake

Where a bullfrog rests at leisure

Take Time

Have you listened to music

of a gurgling creek in spring

Or watched the beauteous butterfly

flit by on silken wing

Just to watch the fluffy snowflakes

as they flutter down to earth

Like diamonds in their sparkle

but to us have much more worth

Take Time

Have you ever watched the glorious sunset

as it nestles in the West

Bringing end to daily duties

beckons all the earth to rest

If yoursquove never paused to wonder

as such thins there are so many

Then you have missed so much in life

that doesnrsquot cost a penny

Take Time

Submitted by Paradise Resident Barb Prior

Many people worry about becoming more forgetful fearing it is the first sign of Alzheimers disease

In the past memory loss and confusion were considered a normal part of aging However scientists now

recognize that most people remain both alert and able as they age although it may take longer to remember

things

A lot of people experience memory lapses Some memory problems are serious and others are

not People with serious changes in memory personality and behavior may suffer from a form of brain

disease called Dementia Dementia affects a persons ability to carry out activities of daily living

Dementia is not part of aging

Some Causes of Dementia

- Adverse reaction to medication - Vision andor hearing problems

- Poor nutrition leading to nutritional imbalances and Vitamin deficiency - Minor head injuries

- Infections - Diabetes - Renal disease - Thyroid disease

With accurate diagnosis comes help and management

Symptoms of Dementia

- Asking the same question repeatedly - Becoming lost in familiar places

- Being unable to follow directions - Being disorientated about time people and places

- Neglecting hygiene nutrition or safety

21

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

The two most common forms of Dementia are Alzheimers disease and Vascular dementia

These two at the present are irreversible

In Alzheimers disease nerve cells change in certain parts of the brain resulting in the death of a large

number of brain cells As the disease progresses symptoms led to serious impairment in thinking judgement

and performance of daily activities

Vascular disease is caused by a series of strokes or changes in the blood supply to the brain resulting

in death of brain tissue The location and severity of the strokes determine the seriousness of the impairment

Symptoms begin abruptly and there is no way to reverse the damage caused by the stroke Treatment to

prevent further strokes is very important

Diagnosis of Dementia includes a complete medical history past and present prescriptions and over

the counter medications diet and general health The doctor will perform blood and urine tests as well as

problem solving and memory testing Because correct diagnosis depends on recalling details it would be

prudent to ask a family member to accompany you to the appointment

Treatment involves helping patients and there families to cope with the irreversible aspects of the

disease People with early and middle stages of Alzheimers can be treated with medications to delay the

worsening of some of the symptoms

For Vascular disease dementia it is important to prevent further strokes by controlling hypertension

treating high cholesterol controlling diabetes and refraining from smoking

Medication to reduce anxiety agitation depression or sleeping problems may be prescribed

Scientists are working to develop new drugs that someday may slow reverse or prevent Dementia

In the Feb 11 2015 Winnipeg Free Press there is an article regarding stroke cure which involves extracting

clots from the arteries they block This results in lower number of deaths and improved post stroke quality of

life

People with no Dementia should strive to keep there memory sharp Develop or remain involved in

activities that stimulate your mind and body Limit the use of alcohol because heavy drinking overtime can

cause permanent brain damage Take advantage of activities available here in the village such as cards

dancing books puzzles shuffle board and the pool or exercise equipment to socialize and activate your

mind and decrease depression Video and computer games are also great at keeping your mind sharp

regardless of what we told our children and grandchildren as they spent countless hours playing their games

These games stimulate the mind to make split second decisions and improves eye-hand co-ordination

Physical and mental changes occur with age in healthy people However much pain and suffering

can be avoided if the elderly their families and their doctor recognize that Dementia is a disease and not

part of normal aging

Panama Cruise

We left Fort Lauderdale FL November 28th aboard the MS Zuiderdam for a ten day Panama cruise Ports of call included Half Moon Cay Bahamas Oranjestad Aruba Willemstad Curacao Colon Panama and Limon Costa Rica Highlights included going through the Panama Canal visiting the Embera Village in Panama via dugout canoe and a pontoon boat river tour in Costa Rica Weather was great all in all we had a wonderful time Larry amp Carole Trush

The Panama Canal connects the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans It is a 48 mile canal that is important for international

maritime trade Construction of the canal began in 1881 by France but there were engineering problems and too

many people were dying due to disease Construction stopped until the US took over in 1904 They took 10 years to

complete the canal The canal allowed ships to travel between the two oceans more safely and in half the time

In 1999 the Panamanian government took control of the canal The Panama Canal is one of the Seven Wonders of the

Modern World

Everyone has a story It may concern a career a hobby an achievement an experience etc etc In the PVRA 2015 newsletters we would like to profile residents of Paradise Village If you know of anyone you would like to see profiled call me at 204-422-5712 and I will try to arrange for an interview Larry Menec and the PVRA Newsletter

After learning of George Coyles varied life experiences I thought jockey of all trades might be an

appropriate descriptor In addition to racing horses he was involved in car racing motorcycle racing boxing served

in the British Navy and worked as an Electrician

At the age of 14 George worked in racing stables as a stable hand and exercise person He raced horses as an

amateur until age 17 He then moved to Wales where he trained horses for fox hunting

At the age 18 George joined the British Navy and served on the aircraft carrier The Implacable He trained

as a rigger and worked on aircraft frames When George became involved in boxing he found a lot of competition

among the 2200 men on the ship He recalls that in his first fight he walked into a right hand thrown by a Scotsman

and was knocked out within 30 seconds Things improved considerably and George was soon winning regularly

He went to Kent on leave and met Joyce They soon married a marriage they are proud to say has lasted 62

years They later moved to Essex also in England where George became employed as an electrician with the Ford

Motor Company During that time he raced motorcycles and cars throughout England

George and Joyce moved to Canada in the early 1970s They first settled in Shoal Lake MB where George

worked as an electrician a profession he continued to work at when they moved to Winnipeg this time at St Josephs

personal care home They moved to Paradise Village in the early 1990s and George retired several years later

When asked about memorable experiences George told the story of 2 sisters with the surname Coyle who

were involved in the murder of 8 British soldiers in Northern Ireland George was detained by police in London when

he was overheard using the name Coyle He was held for several hours and nearly missed the start of their holiday

There were humorous experiences When on holidays in Mauritius they met a Chinese bookmaker When

George mentioned that Joyce was a psychic the bookmaker asked her to pick the race winners She correctly picked

the winners and the bookmaker made a lot of money This information soon spread and Joyce had to lock herself in a

washroom to escape the crowd

On their return from Mauritius their granddaughter went missing during the flight She was found on the

second floor of the jumbo jet in deep conversation with Engelbert Humperdinck

When asked about a bucket list George ever the adventurer says he would like to skydive That would be the

icing on an interesting cake

Potatoes Well a Girl Potato and Boy Potato had eyes for each other and got married and had a little Sweet Potato which they called Yam Of course they wanted the best for Yam When it was time they told her about the facts of life They warned her about going out and getting Half-baked so she

wouldnt get accidentally Mashed and get a bad name for herself like Hot Potato and end up with a bunch of Tater Tots Yam said not to worry no Spud would get her into the sack and make a Rotten Potato out of her But on the other hand she wouldnt stay home and become a Couch

Potato either She would get plenty of exercise so as not to be skinny like her Shoestring Cousins When she went off to Europe Mr and Mrs Potato told Yam to watch out for the

Hard-Boiled guys from Ireland the Greasy guys from France called the French Fries and when she went out west to watch out for the Indians so she wouldnt get scalloped Yam said she

would stay on the straight and narrow and wouldnt associate with those high class Yukon Golds or the ones from the Other Side of the tracks who advertise their trade on all the trucks that say

Frito Lay Mr and Mrs Potato sent Yam to Idaho P U (thats Potato University) so that when she graduated shed really Be In the Chips But in spite of all they did for her one day Yam came

Kidney Infection

The kidneys are a pair of bean-shaped organs found along the posterior wall of the abdominal

cavity The left kidney is located slightly higher than the right kidney because the right side of the

liver is much larger than the left side The kidneys unlike the other organs of the abdominal cavity

are located posterior to the peritoneum and touch the muscles of the back The kidneys are

surrounded by a layer of adipose that holds them in place and protects them from physical

damage The kidneys filter metabolic wastes excess ions and chemicals from the blood to form

urine

Kidney infection (pyelonephritis) is a specific type of urinary tract infection (UTI) that generally begins in your urethra or bladder and travels up into your kidneys

A kidney infection requires prompt medical attention If not treated properly a kidney infection can permanently damage your kidneys or the bacteria can spread to your bloodstream and cause a life-threatening infection

Kidney infection treatment usually includes antibiotics and often requires hospitalization

Signs and symptoms of a kidney infection may include

bullFever bullBack side (flank) or groin pain bullAbdominal pain bullFrequent urination bullStrong persistent urge to urinate

bullBurning sensation or pain when urinating bullPus or blood in your urine (hematuria)

bullUrine that smells bad or is cloudy

When to see a doctor

Make an appointment with your doctor if you have any signs or symptoms that worry you Also make an appointment if youre being treated for a urinary tract infection but your signs and symp-toms arent improving

Severe kidney infection can lead to life-threatening complications Seek immediate medical atten-tion if you experience typical kidney infection symptoms combined with bloody urine or nausea and vomiting

If left untreated a kidney infection can lead to potentially serious complications such as

bullPermanent kidney damage Permanent kidney damage can lead to chronic kidney disease

bullBlood poisoning (septicemia) Your kidneys filter waste from your blood and then return your blood to the rest of your body If you have a kidney infection the bacteria can spread as the kid-neys return blood to circulation

On Saturday the 21st of February I had the pleasure of

attending a drama performance entitled ldquoSistersrdquo at the Providence

University College in Otterburne MB Set in Nova Scotia ldquoSistersrdquo is

a tough uncompromising look at a convent-run Native residential

school The play was very thought-provoking not skimming over the

wrongs done through the residential schools in the slightest but telling

the story from the nunsrsquo point of view which is not heard quite as often

The religious people are often demonized in this scenario and though

they did in many if not most cases do absolutely horrific things

unfortunately they often truly believed they were doing the right thing

The point of the play was that Christian people with good intensions

can still do very horrible and damaging things in the name of God The

people who created the Residential Schools did so in the firm belief that

their culture was better than the cultures of Canadarsquos indigenous

peoples Seeing the history through the eyes of Mary left me thinking

how tough it must have been for the nuns Becoming a nun for Mary

did not go in the direction she had envisioned We did not see the

priests or the government officials who instituted and ran the schools

Unseen their controlling presence demonstrated the prejudice and

domination that poisons Mary her fellow Sisters and us This play is a

confession an opportunity to speak the truth about the past so there

may be hope for reconciliation in the future ldquoSistersrdquo reminds us to

pay attention to the things we donrsquot see and to listen for the

silences that repress curiosity and truth-telling By Debbie Kokil

A man was sitting on the edge of the bed watching his wife who was looking at herself in the mirror Since her birthday was not far off he asked

what shed like to have for her birthday

Id like to be eight again she replied still looking in the mirror

On the morning of her Birthday he arose early He made her a nice big bowl of Coco Pops and then took her to Adventure World theme park

What a day He put her on every ride in the park the Death Slide the Wall of Fear the Screaming

Roller Coaster everything there was Five hours later they staggered out of the theme park Her head was reeling and her stomach felt

upside down

He then took her to a McDonalds where he ordered her a Happy Meal

with extra fries and a chocolate shake

Then it was off to a movie with popcorn a soda pop and her favourite candy MampMs

What a fabulous adventure Finally she wobbled home with her husband

and collapsed into the bed exhausted He leaned over his wife with a big smile

and lovingly asked

Well Dear what was it like being eight againrdquo Her eyes slowly opened and her expression suddenly changed

I meant my dress size you f retard

The moral of the story Even when a man is listening

he is gonna get it wrong

I have experienced life in Paradise

since I moved here as wonderful

but this is no Paradise when

the temperature plummets

and the sewer pipe freezes

Always be ready with this

Keeping a Sharp Mind In Retirement

As we slowly move through our retirement years

we need to keep ourselves occupied

with small projectsLike this guy

I know I saw it right away hellip

No safety glasses or hearing protection

And I caught something else that is really

important toohellip he has no gloves on

I might be up in age but I am still sharp as a tack

Take Time

If you have never stood in awe

with sleep still in your eyes

And beheld the blazing glory

when at dawn the sun does rise

If you have never walked upon the grass

when wet with dew

And caught the shimmering sparkle

of the lights of pearly hue

Take Time

If you have never paused to hear

the robins as they sing

You know yoursquove missed the message

that has heralded the spring

And if yoursquove never watched a rose

itrsquos beauty to unfold

Yoursquove really missed a miracle

a wonder to behold

Take Time

Have you ever watched the raindrops

as to earth they gently fall

Without their healing magic

there would be no life at all

Have you ever on a summerrsquos day

given thanks for cooling breeze

As it rustles through the branches

of the tall and shady trees

Take Time

Have you ever stood as though transfixed

to wish upon a star

And felt their very nearness

although they shone so far

Have you ever paused to listen

to the drove of bumble bees

Or wished that you might be as free

To soar about at ease

An unwary bug to take

Take Time

Have you watched a furry caterpillar

wriggle through the grass

Or sensed a hiding cricket set

in silence as you pass

See the beauty of a water lily

floating on the lake

Where a bullfrog rests at leisure

Take Time

Have you listened to music

of a gurgling creek in spring

Or watched the beauteous butterfly

flit by on silken wing

Just to watch the fluffy snowflakes

as they flutter down to earth

Like diamonds in their sparkle

but to us have much more worth

Take Time

Have you ever watched the glorious sunset

as it nestles in the West

Bringing end to daily duties

beckons all the earth to rest

If yoursquove never paused to wonder

as such thins there are so many

Then you have missed so much in life

that doesnrsquot cost a penny

Submitted by Paradise Resident Barb Prior

Many people worry about becoming more forgetful fearing it is the first sign of Alzheimers disease

In the past memory loss and confusion were considered a normal part of aging However scientists now

recognize that most people remain both alert and able as they age although it may take longer to remember

things

A lot of people experience memory lapses Some memory problems are serious and others are

not People with serious changes in memory personality and behavior may suffer from a form of brain

disease called Dementia Dementia affects a persons ability to carry out activities of daily living

Dementia is not part of aging

Some Causes of Dementia

- Adverse reaction to medication - Vision andor hearing problems

- Poor nutrition leading to nutritional imbalances and Vitamin deficiency - Minor head injuries

- Infections - Diabetes - Renal disease - Thyroid disease

With accurate diagnosis comes help and management

Symptoms of Dementia

- Asking the same question repeatedly - Becoming lost in familiar places

- Being unable to follow directions - Being disorientated about time people and places

- Neglecting hygiene nutrition or safety

21

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

The two most common forms of Dementia are Alzheimers disease and Vascular dementia

These two at the present are irreversible

In Alzheimers disease nerve cells change in certain parts of the brain resulting in the death of a large

number of brain cells As the disease progresses symptoms led to serious impairment in thinking judgement

and performance of daily activities

Vascular disease is caused by a series of strokes or changes in the blood supply to the brain resulting

in death of brain tissue The location and severity of the strokes determine the seriousness of the impairment

Symptoms begin abruptly and there is no way to reverse the damage caused by the stroke Treatment to

prevent further strokes is very important

Diagnosis of Dementia includes a complete medical history past and present prescriptions and over

the counter medications diet and general health The doctor will perform blood and urine tests as well as

problem solving and memory testing Because correct diagnosis depends on recalling details it would be

prudent to ask a family member to accompany you to the appointment

Treatment involves helping patients and there families to cope with the irreversible aspects of the

disease People with early and middle stages of Alzheimers can be treated with medications to delay the

worsening of some of the symptoms

For Vascular disease dementia it is important to prevent further strokes by controlling hypertension

treating high cholesterol controlling diabetes and refraining from smoking

Medication to reduce anxiety agitation depression or sleeping problems may be prescribed

Scientists are working to develop new drugs that someday may slow reverse or prevent Dementia

In the Feb 11 2015 Winnipeg Free Press there is an article regarding stroke cure which involves extracting

clots from the arteries they block This results in lower number of deaths and improved post stroke quality of

life

People with no Dementia should strive to keep there memory sharp Develop or remain involved in

activities that stimulate your mind and body Limit the use of alcohol because heavy drinking overtime can

cause permanent brain damage Take advantage of activities available here in the village such as cards

dancing books puzzles shuffle board and the pool or exercise equipment to socialize and activate your

mind and decrease depression Video and computer games are also great at keeping your mind sharp

regardless of what we told our children and grandchildren as they spent countless hours playing their games

These games stimulate the mind to make split second decisions and improves eye-hand co-ordination

Physical and mental changes occur with age in healthy people However much pain and suffering

can be avoided if the elderly their families and their doctor recognize that Dementia is a disease and not

part of normal aging

Panama Cruise

We left Fort Lauderdale FL November 28th aboard the MS Zuiderdam for a ten day Panama cruise Ports of call included Half Moon Cay Bahamas Oranjestad Aruba Willemstad Curacao Colon Panama and Limon Costa Rica Highlights included going through the Panama Canal visiting the Embera Village in Panama via dugout canoe and a pontoon boat river tour in Costa Rica Weather was great all in all we had a wonderful time Larry amp Carole Trush

The Panama Canal connects the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans It is a 48 mile canal that is important for international

maritime trade Construction of the canal began in 1881 by France but there were engineering problems and too

many people were dying due to disease Construction stopped until the US took over in 1904 They took 10 years to

complete the canal The canal allowed ships to travel between the two oceans more safely and in half the time

In 1999 the Panamanian government took control of the canal The Panama Canal is one of the Seven Wonders of the

Modern World

After learning of George Coyles varied life experiences I thought jockey of all trades might be an

appropriate descriptor In addition to racing horses he was involved in car racing motorcycle racing boxing served

in the British Navy and worked as an Electrician

At the age of 14 George worked in racing stables as a stable hand and exercise person He raced horses as an

amateur until age 17 He then moved to Wales where he trained horses for fox hunting

At the age 18 George joined the British Navy and served on the aircraft carrier The Implacable He trained

as a rigger and worked on aircraft frames When George became involved in boxing he found a lot of competition

among the 2200 men on the ship He recalls that in his first fight he walked into a right hand thrown by a Scotsman

and was knocked out within 30 seconds Things improved considerably and George was soon winning regularly

He went to Kent on leave and met Joyce They soon married a marriage they are proud to say has lasted 62

years They later moved to Essex also in England where George became employed as an electrician with the Ford

Motor Company During that time he raced motorcycles and cars throughout England

George and Joyce moved to Canada in the early 1970s They first settled in Shoal Lake MB where George

worked as an electrician a profession he continued to work at when they moved to Winnipeg this time at St Josephs

personal care home They moved to Paradise Village in the early 1990s and George retired several years later

When asked about memorable experiences George told the story of 2 sisters with the surname Coyle who

were involved in the murder of 8 British soldiers in Northern Ireland George was detained by police in London when

he was overheard using the name Coyle He was held for several hours and nearly missed the start of their holiday

There were humorous experiences When on holidays in Mauritius they met a Chinese bookmaker When

George mentioned that Joyce was a psychic the bookmaker asked her to pick the race winners She correctly picked

the winners and the bookmaker made a lot of money This information soon spread and Joyce had to lock herself in a

washroom to escape the crowd

On their return from Mauritius their granddaughter went missing during the flight She was found on the

second floor of the jumbo jet in deep conversation with Engelbert Humperdinck

When asked about a bucket list George ever the adventurer says he would like to skydive That would be the

icing on an interesting cake

wouldnt get accidentally Mashed and get a bad name for herself like Hot Potato and end up with a bunch of Tater Tots Yam said not to worry no Spud would get her into the sack and make a Rotten Potato out of her But on the other hand she wouldnt stay home and become a Couch

Potato either She would get plenty of exercise so as not to be skinny like her Shoestring Cousins When she went off to Europe Mr and Mrs Potato told Yam to watch out for the

Hard-Boiled guys from Ireland the Greasy guys from France called the French Fries and when she went out west to watch out for the Indians so she wouldnt get scalloped Yam said she

would stay on the straight and narrow and wouldnt associate with those high class Yukon Golds or the ones from the Other Side of the tracks who advertise their trade on all the trucks that say

Frito Lay Mr and Mrs Potato sent Yam to Idaho P U (thats Potato University) so that when she graduated shed really Be In the Chips But in spite of all they did for her one day Yam came

Kidney Infection

The kidneys are a pair of bean-shaped organs found along the posterior wall of the abdominal

cavity The left kidney is located slightly higher than the right kidney because the right side of the

liver is much larger than the left side The kidneys unlike the other organs of the abdominal cavity

are located posterior to the peritoneum and touch the muscles of the back The kidneys are

surrounded by a layer of adipose that holds them in place and protects them from physical

damage The kidneys filter metabolic wastes excess ions and chemicals from the blood to form

urine

Kidney infection (pyelonephritis) is a specific type of urinary tract infection (UTI) that generally begins in your urethra or bladder and travels up into your kidneys

A kidney infection requires prompt medical attention If not treated properly a kidney infection can permanently damage your kidneys or the bacteria can spread to your bloodstream and cause a life-threatening infection

Kidney infection treatment usually includes antibiotics and often requires hospitalization

Signs and symptoms of a kidney infection may include

bullFever bullBack side (flank) or groin pain bullAbdominal pain bullFrequent urination bullStrong persistent urge to urinate

bullBurning sensation or pain when urinating bullPus or blood in your urine (hematuria)

bullUrine that smells bad or is cloudy

When to see a doctor

Make an appointment with your doctor if you have any signs or symptoms that worry you Also make an appointment if youre being treated for a urinary tract infection but your signs and symp-toms arent improving

Severe kidney infection can lead to life-threatening complications Seek immediate medical atten-tion if you experience typical kidney infection symptoms combined with bloody urine or nausea and vomiting

If left untreated a kidney infection can lead to potentially serious complications such as

bullPermanent kidney damage Permanent kidney damage can lead to chronic kidney disease

bullBlood poisoning (septicemia) Your kidneys filter waste from your blood and then return your blood to the rest of your body If you have a kidney infection the bacteria can spread as the kid-neys return blood to circulation

On Saturday the 21st of February I had the pleasure of

attending a drama performance entitled ldquoSistersrdquo at the Providence

University College in Otterburne MB Set in Nova Scotia ldquoSistersrdquo is

a tough uncompromising look at a convent-run Native residential

school The play was very thought-provoking not skimming over the

wrongs done through the residential schools in the slightest but telling

the story from the nunsrsquo point of view which is not heard quite as often

The religious people are often demonized in this scenario and though

they did in many if not most cases do absolutely horrific things

unfortunately they often truly believed they were doing the right thing

The point of the play was that Christian people with good intensions

can still do very horrible and damaging things in the name of God The

people who created the Residential Schools did so in the firm belief that

their culture was better than the cultures of Canadarsquos indigenous

peoples Seeing the history through the eyes of Mary left me thinking

how tough it must have been for the nuns Becoming a nun for Mary

did not go in the direction she had envisioned We did not see the

priests or the government officials who instituted and ran the schools

Unseen their controlling presence demonstrated the prejudice and

domination that poisons Mary her fellow Sisters and us This play is a

confession an opportunity to speak the truth about the past so there

may be hope for reconciliation in the future ldquoSistersrdquo reminds us to

pay attention to the things we donrsquot see and to listen for the

silences that repress curiosity and truth-telling By Debbie Kokil

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

A man was sitting on the edge of the bed watching his wife who was looking at herself in the mirror Since her birthday was not far off he asked

what shed like to have for her birthday

Id like to be eight again she replied still looking in the mirror

On the morning of her Birthday he arose early He made her a nice big bowl of Coco Pops and then took her to Adventure World theme park

What a day He put her on every ride in the park the Death Slide the Wall of Fear the Screaming

Roller Coaster everything there was Five hours later they staggered out of the theme park Her head was reeling and her stomach felt

upside down

He then took her to a McDonalds where he ordered her a Happy Meal

with extra fries and a chocolate shake

Then it was off to a movie with popcorn a soda pop and her favourite candy MampMs

What a fabulous adventure Finally she wobbled home with her husband

and collapsed into the bed exhausted He leaned over his wife with a big smile

and lovingly asked

Well Dear what was it like being eight againrdquo Her eyes slowly opened and her expression suddenly changed

I meant my dress size you f retard

The moral of the story Even when a man is listening

he is gonna get it wrong

I have experienced life in Paradise

since I moved here as wonderful

but this is no Paradise when

the temperature plummets

and the sewer pipe freezes

Always be ready with this

Keeping a Sharp Mind In Retirement

As we slowly move through our retirement years

we need to keep ourselves occupied

with small projectsLike this guy

I know I saw it right away hellip

No safety glasses or hearing protection

And I caught something else that is really

important toohellip he has no gloves on

I might be up in age but I am still sharp as a tack

with sleep still in your eyes

And beheld the blazing glory

when at dawn the sun does rise

If you have never walked upon the grass

when wet with dew

And caught the shimmering sparkle

of the lights of pearly hue

Take Time

If you have never paused to hear

the robins as they sing

You know yoursquove missed the message

that has heralded the spring

And if yoursquove never watched a rose

itrsquos beauty to unfold

Yoursquove really missed a miracle

a wonder to behold

Take Time

Have you ever watched the raindrops

as to earth they gently fall

Without their healing magic

there would be no life at all

Have you ever on a summerrsquos day

given thanks for cooling breeze

As it rustles through the branches

of the tall and shady trees

Take Time

Have you ever stood as though transfixed

to wish upon a star

And felt their very nearness

although they shone so far

Have you ever paused to listen

to the drove of bumble bees

Or wished that you might be as free

To soar about at ease

An unwary bug to take

Take Time

Have you watched a furry caterpillar

wriggle through the grass

Or sensed a hiding cricket set

in silence as you pass

See the beauty of a water lily

floating on the lake

Where a bullfrog rests at leisure

Take Time

Have you listened to music

of a gurgling creek in spring

Or watched the beauteous butterfly

flit by on silken wing

Just to watch the fluffy snowflakes

as they flutter down to earth

Like diamonds in their sparkle

but to us have much more worth

Take Time

Have you ever watched the glorious sunset

as it nestles in the West

Bringing end to daily duties

beckons all the earth to rest

If yoursquove never paused to wonder

as such thins there are so many

Then you have missed so much in life

that doesnrsquot cost a penny

Take Time

Many people worry about becoming more forgetful fearing it is the first sign of Alzheimers disease

In the past memory loss and confusion were considered a normal part of aging However scientists now

recognize that most people remain both alert and able as they age although it may take longer to remember

things

A lot of people experience memory lapses Some memory problems are serious and others are

not People with serious changes in memory personality and behavior may suffer from a form of brain

disease called Dementia Dementia affects a persons ability to carry out activities of daily living

Dementia is not part of aging

Some Causes of Dementia

- Adverse reaction to medication - Vision andor hearing problems

- Poor nutrition leading to nutritional imbalances and Vitamin deficiency - Minor head injuries

- Infections - Diabetes - Renal disease - Thyroid disease

With accurate diagnosis comes help and management

Symptoms of Dementia

- Asking the same question repeatedly - Becoming lost in familiar places

- Being unable to follow directions - Being disorientated about time people and places

- Neglecting hygiene nutrition or safety

21

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

The two most common forms of Dementia are Alzheimers disease and Vascular dementia

These two at the present are irreversible

In Alzheimers disease nerve cells change in certain parts of the brain resulting in the death of a large

number of brain cells As the disease progresses symptoms led to serious impairment in thinking judgement

and performance of daily activities

Vascular disease is caused by a series of strokes or changes in the blood supply to the brain resulting

in death of brain tissue The location and severity of the strokes determine the seriousness of the impairment

Symptoms begin abruptly and there is no way to reverse the damage caused by the stroke Treatment to

prevent further strokes is very important

Diagnosis of Dementia includes a complete medical history past and present prescriptions and over

the counter medications diet and general health The doctor will perform blood and urine tests as well as

problem solving and memory testing Because correct diagnosis depends on recalling details it would be

prudent to ask a family member to accompany you to the appointment

Treatment involves helping patients and there families to cope with the irreversible aspects of the

disease People with early and middle stages of Alzheimers can be treated with medications to delay the

worsening of some of the symptoms

For Vascular disease dementia it is important to prevent further strokes by controlling hypertension

treating high cholesterol controlling diabetes and refraining from smoking

Medication to reduce anxiety agitation depression or sleeping problems may be prescribed

Scientists are working to develop new drugs that someday may slow reverse or prevent Dementia

In the Feb 11 2015 Winnipeg Free Press there is an article regarding stroke cure which involves extracting

clots from the arteries they block This results in lower number of deaths and improved post stroke quality of

life

People with no Dementia should strive to keep there memory sharp Develop or remain involved in

activities that stimulate your mind and body Limit the use of alcohol because heavy drinking overtime can

cause permanent brain damage Take advantage of activities available here in the village such as cards

dancing books puzzles shuffle board and the pool or exercise equipment to socialize and activate your

mind and decrease depression Video and computer games are also great at keeping your mind sharp

regardless of what we told our children and grandchildren as they spent countless hours playing their games

These games stimulate the mind to make split second decisions and improves eye-hand co-ordination

Physical and mental changes occur with age in healthy people However much pain and suffering

can be avoided if the elderly their families and their doctor recognize that Dementia is a disease and not

part of normal aging

Panama Cruise

We left Fort Lauderdale FL November 28th aboard the MS Zuiderdam for a ten day Panama cruise Ports of call included Half Moon Cay Bahamas Oranjestad Aruba Willemstad Curacao Colon Panama and Limon Costa Rica Highlights included going through the Panama Canal visiting the Embera Village in Panama via dugout canoe and a pontoon boat river tour in Costa Rica Weather was great all in all we had a wonderful time Larry amp Carole Trush

The Panama Canal connects the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans It is a 48 mile canal that is important for international

maritime trade Construction of the canal began in 1881 by France but there were engineering problems and too

many people were dying due to disease Construction stopped until the US took over in 1904 They took 10 years to

complete the canal The canal allowed ships to travel between the two oceans more safely and in half the time

In 1999 the Panamanian government took control of the canal The Panama Canal is one of the Seven Wonders of the

Modern World

After learning of George Coyles varied life experiences I thought jockey of all trades might be an

appropriate descriptor In addition to racing horses he was involved in car racing motorcycle racing boxing served

in the British Navy and worked as an Electrician

At the age of 14 George worked in racing stables as a stable hand and exercise person He raced horses as an

amateur until age 17 He then moved to Wales where he trained horses for fox hunting

At the age 18 George joined the British Navy and served on the aircraft carrier The Implacable He trained

as a rigger and worked on aircraft frames When George became involved in boxing he found a lot of competition

among the 2200 men on the ship He recalls that in his first fight he walked into a right hand thrown by a Scotsman

and was knocked out within 30 seconds Things improved considerably and George was soon winning regularly

He went to Kent on leave and met Joyce They soon married a marriage they are proud to say has lasted 62

years They later moved to Essex also in England where George became employed as an electrician with the Ford

Motor Company During that time he raced motorcycles and cars throughout England

George and Joyce moved to Canada in the early 1970s They first settled in Shoal Lake MB where George

worked as an electrician a profession he continued to work at when they moved to Winnipeg this time at St Josephs

personal care home They moved to Paradise Village in the early 1990s and George retired several years later

When asked about memorable experiences George told the story of 2 sisters with the surname Coyle who

were involved in the murder of 8 British soldiers in Northern Ireland George was detained by police in London when

he was overheard using the name Coyle He was held for several hours and nearly missed the start of their holiday

There were humorous experiences When on holidays in Mauritius they met a Chinese bookmaker When

George mentioned that Joyce was a psychic the bookmaker asked her to pick the race winners She correctly picked

the winners and the bookmaker made a lot of money This information soon spread and Joyce had to lock herself in a

washroom to escape the crowd

On their return from Mauritius their granddaughter went missing during the flight She was found on the

second floor of the jumbo jet in deep conversation with Engelbert Humperdinck

When asked about a bucket list George ever the adventurer says he would like to skydive That would be the

icing on an interesting cake

wouldnt get accidentally Mashed and get a bad name for herself like Hot Potato and end up with a bunch of Tater Tots Yam said not to worry no Spud would get her into the sack and make a Rotten Potato out of her But on the other hand she wouldnt stay home and become a Couch

Potato either She would get plenty of exercise so as not to be skinny like her Shoestring Cousins When she went off to Europe Mr and Mrs Potato told Yam to watch out for the

Hard-Boiled guys from Ireland the Greasy guys from France called the French Fries and when she went out west to watch out for the Indians so she wouldnt get scalloped Yam said she

would stay on the straight and narrow and wouldnt associate with those high class Yukon Golds or the ones from the Other Side of the tracks who advertise their trade on all the trucks that say

Frito Lay Mr and Mrs Potato sent Yam to Idaho P U (thats Potato University) so that when she graduated shed really Be In the Chips But in spite of all they did for her one day Yam came

Kidney Infection

The kidneys are a pair of bean-shaped organs found along the posterior wall of the abdominal

cavity The left kidney is located slightly higher than the right kidney because the right side of the

liver is much larger than the left side The kidneys unlike the other organs of the abdominal cavity

are located posterior to the peritoneum and touch the muscles of the back The kidneys are

surrounded by a layer of adipose that holds them in place and protects them from physical

damage The kidneys filter metabolic wastes excess ions and chemicals from the blood to form

urine

Kidney infection (pyelonephritis) is a specific type of urinary tract infection (UTI) that generally begins in your urethra or bladder and travels up into your kidneys

A kidney infection requires prompt medical attention If not treated properly a kidney infection can permanently damage your kidneys or the bacteria can spread to your bloodstream and cause a life-threatening infection

Kidney infection treatment usually includes antibiotics and often requires hospitalization

Signs and symptoms of a kidney infection may include

bullFever bullBack side (flank) or groin pain bullAbdominal pain bullFrequent urination bullStrong persistent urge to urinate

bullBurning sensation or pain when urinating bullPus or blood in your urine (hematuria)

bullUrine that smells bad or is cloudy

When to see a doctor

Make an appointment with your doctor if you have any signs or symptoms that worry you Also make an appointment if youre being treated for a urinary tract infection but your signs and symp-toms arent improving

Severe kidney infection can lead to life-threatening complications Seek immediate medical atten-tion if you experience typical kidney infection symptoms combined with bloody urine or nausea and vomiting

If left untreated a kidney infection can lead to potentially serious complications such as

bullPermanent kidney damage Permanent kidney damage can lead to chronic kidney disease

bullBlood poisoning (septicemia) Your kidneys filter waste from your blood and then return your blood to the rest of your body If you have a kidney infection the bacteria can spread as the kid-neys return blood to circulation

On Saturday the 21st of February I had the pleasure of

attending a drama performance entitled ldquoSistersrdquo at the Providence

University College in Otterburne MB Set in Nova Scotia ldquoSistersrdquo is

a tough uncompromising look at a convent-run Native residential

school The play was very thought-provoking not skimming over the

wrongs done through the residential schools in the slightest but telling

the story from the nunsrsquo point of view which is not heard quite as often

The religious people are often demonized in this scenario and though

they did in many if not most cases do absolutely horrific things

unfortunately they often truly believed they were doing the right thing

The point of the play was that Christian people with good intensions

can still do very horrible and damaging things in the name of God The

people who created the Residential Schools did so in the firm belief that

their culture was better than the cultures of Canadarsquos indigenous

peoples Seeing the history through the eyes of Mary left me thinking

how tough it must have been for the nuns Becoming a nun for Mary

did not go in the direction she had envisioned We did not see the

priests or the government officials who instituted and ran the schools

Unseen their controlling presence demonstrated the prejudice and

domination that poisons Mary her fellow Sisters and us This play is a

confession an opportunity to speak the truth about the past so there

may be hope for reconciliation in the future ldquoSistersrdquo reminds us to

pay attention to the things we donrsquot see and to listen for the

silences that repress curiosity and truth-telling By Debbie Kokil

A man was sitting on the edge of the bed watching his wife who was looking at herself in the mirror Since her birthday was not far off he asked

what shed like to have for her birthday

Id like to be eight again she replied still looking in the mirror

On the morning of her Birthday he arose early He made her a nice big bowl of Coco Pops and then took her to Adventure World theme park

What a day He put her on every ride in the park the Death Slide the Wall of Fear the Screaming

Roller Coaster everything there was Five hours later they staggered out of the theme park Her head was reeling and her stomach felt

upside down

He then took her to a McDonalds where he ordered her a Happy Meal

with extra fries and a chocolate shake

Then it was off to a movie with popcorn a soda pop and her favourite candy MampMs

What a fabulous adventure Finally she wobbled home with her husband

and collapsed into the bed exhausted He leaned over his wife with a big smile

and lovingly asked

Well Dear what was it like being eight againrdquo Her eyes slowly opened and her expression suddenly changed

I meant my dress size you f retard

The moral of the story Even when a man is listening

he is gonna get it wrong

I have experienced life in Paradise

since I moved here as wonderful

but this is no Paradise when

the temperature plummets

and the sewer pipe freezes

Always be ready with this

Take Time

If you have never stood in awe

with sleep still in your eyes

And beheld the blazing glory

when at dawn the sun does rise

If you have never walked upon the grass

when wet with dew

And caught the shimmering sparkle

of the lights of pearly hue

Take Time

If you have never paused to hear

the robins as they sing

You know yoursquove missed the message

that has heralded the spring

And if yoursquove never watched a rose

itrsquos beauty to unfold

Yoursquove really missed a miracle

a wonder to behold

Take Time

Have you ever watched the raindrops

as to earth they gently fall

Without their healing magic

there would be no life at all

Have you ever on a summerrsquos day

given thanks for cooling breeze

As it rustles through the branches

of the tall and shady trees

Take Time

Have you ever stood as though transfixed

to wish upon a star

And felt their very nearness

although they shone so far

Have you ever paused to listen

to the drove of bumble bees

Or wished that you might be as free

To soar about at ease

An unwary bug to take

Take Time

Have you watched a furry caterpillar

wriggle through the grass

Or sensed a hiding cricket set

in silence as you pass

See the beauty of a water lily

floating on the lake

Where a bullfrog rests at leisure

Take Time

Have you listened to music

of a gurgling creek in spring

Or watched the beauteous butterfly

flit by on silken wing

Just to watch the fluffy snowflakes

as they flutter down to earth

Like diamonds in their sparkle

but to us have much more worth

Take Time

Have you ever watched the glorious sunset

as it nestles in the West

Bringing end to daily duties

beckons all the earth to rest

If yoursquove never paused to wonder

as such thins there are so many

Then you have missed so much in life

that doesnrsquot cost a penny

Take Time

Submitted by Paradise Resident Barb Prior

Many people worry about becoming more forgetful fearing it is the first sign of Alzheimers disease

In the past memory loss and confusion were considered a normal part of aging However scientists now

recognize that most people remain both alert and able as they age although it may take longer to remember

things

A lot of people experience memory lapses Some memory problems are serious and others are

not People with serious changes in memory personality and behavior may suffer from a form of brain

disease called Dementia Dementia affects a persons ability to carry out activities of daily living

Dementia is not part of aging

Some Causes of Dementia

- Adverse reaction to medication - Vision andor hearing problems

- Poor nutrition leading to nutritional imbalances and Vitamin deficiency - Minor head injuries

- Infections - Diabetes - Renal disease - Thyroid disease

With accurate diagnosis comes help and management

Symptoms of Dementia

- Asking the same question repeatedly - Becoming lost in familiar places

- Being unable to follow directions - Being disorientated about time people and places

- Neglecting hygiene nutrition or safety

21

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

The two most common forms of Dementia are Alzheimers disease and Vascular dementia

These two at the present are irreversible

In Alzheimers disease nerve cells change in certain parts of the brain resulting in the death of a large

number of brain cells As the disease progresses symptoms led to serious impairment in thinking judgement

and performance of daily activities

Vascular disease is caused by a series of strokes or changes in the blood supply to the brain resulting

in death of brain tissue The location and severity of the strokes determine the seriousness of the impairment

Symptoms begin abruptly and there is no way to reverse the damage caused by the stroke Treatment to

prevent further strokes is very important

Diagnosis of Dementia includes a complete medical history past and present prescriptions and over

the counter medications diet and general health The doctor will perform blood and urine tests as well as

problem solving and memory testing Because correct diagnosis depends on recalling details it would be

prudent to ask a family member to accompany you to the appointment

Treatment involves helping patients and there families to cope with the irreversible aspects of the

disease People with early and middle stages of Alzheimers can be treated with medications to delay the

worsening of some of the symptoms

For Vascular disease dementia it is important to prevent further strokes by controlling hypertension

treating high cholesterol controlling diabetes and refraining from smoking

Medication to reduce anxiety agitation depression or sleeping problems may be prescribed

Scientists are working to develop new drugs that someday may slow reverse or prevent Dementia

In the Feb 11 2015 Winnipeg Free Press there is an article regarding stroke cure which involves extracting

clots from the arteries they block This results in lower number of deaths and improved post stroke quality of

life

People with no Dementia should strive to keep there memory sharp Develop or remain involved in

activities that stimulate your mind and body Limit the use of alcohol because heavy drinking overtime can

cause permanent brain damage Take advantage of activities available here in the village such as cards

dancing books puzzles shuffle board and the pool or exercise equipment to socialize and activate your

mind and decrease depression Video and computer games are also great at keeping your mind sharp

regardless of what we told our children and grandchildren as they spent countless hours playing their games

These games stimulate the mind to make split second decisions and improves eye-hand co-ordination

Physical and mental changes occur with age in healthy people However much pain and suffering

can be avoided if the elderly their families and their doctor recognize that Dementia is a disease and not

part of normal aging

Last month I asked if you would be interested in South Beach trips every 2nd month and the answer was YES I had

suggested March 3031 for the next trip but found out those days are booked I am told that I have to book a long time

in advance to get the dates we want for the hotel and buses as both are very busy in the coming months

April 2324th

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 me for more details

Tentative dates Aug 45 amp Aug 1112 2015

I have booked two dates due to the fact a lot of people want to go both weeks but I have not received confirmation at

time of writing I need a lot more people to sign up to make two weeks work I suspect there are some snowbirds that

are away right now who will want to go so if you are in touch with them check to see if they are interested and let me

know We should have one bus for sure I will have to act on this in the next month or so as deposits are needed for

everything early This is an amazing deal an $8500 per person

(based on double occupancy If you want more details call me

Panama Cruise

We left Fort Lauderdale FL November 28th aboard the MS Zuiderdam for a ten day Panama cruise Ports of call included Half Moon Cay Bahamas Oranjestad Aruba Willemstad Curacao Colon Panama and Limon Costa Rica Highlights included going through the Panama Canal visiting the Embera Village in Panama via dugout canoe and a pontoon boat river tour in Costa Rica Weather was great all in all we had a wonderful time Larry amp Carole Trush

The Panama Canal connects the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans It is a 48 mile canal that is important for international

maritime trade Construction of the canal began in 1881 by France but there were engineering problems and too

many people were dying due to disease Construction stopped until the US took over in 1904 They took 10 years to

complete the canal The canal allowed ships to travel between the two oceans more safely and in half the time

In 1999 the Panamanian government took control of the canal The Panama Canal is one of the Seven Wonders of the

Modern World

Everyone has a story It may concern a career a hobby an achievement an experience etc etc In the PVRA 2015 newsletters we would like to profile residents of Paradise Village If you know of anyone you would like to see profiled call me at 204-422-5712 and I will try to arrange for an interview Larry Menec and the PVRA Newsletter

After learning of George Coyles varied life experiences I thought jockey of all trades might be an

appropriate descriptor In addition to racing horses he was involved in car racing motorcycle racing boxing served

in the British Navy and worked as an Electrician

At the age of 14 George worked in racing stables as a stable hand and exercise person He raced horses as an

amateur until age 17 He then moved to Wales where he trained horses for fox hunting

At the age 18 George joined the British Navy and served on the aircraft carrier The Implacable He trained

as a rigger and worked on aircraft frames When George became involved in boxing he found a lot of competition

among the 2200 men on the ship He recalls that in his first fight he walked into a right hand thrown by a Scotsman

and was knocked out within 30 seconds Things improved considerably and George was soon winning regularly

He went to Kent on leave and met Joyce They soon married a marriage they are proud to say has lasted 62

years They later moved to Essex also in England where George became employed as an electrician with the Ford

Motor Company During that time he raced motorcycles and cars throughout England

George and Joyce moved to Canada in the early 1970s They first settled in Shoal Lake MB where George

worked as an electrician a profession he continued to work at when they moved to Winnipeg this time at St Josephs

personal care home They moved to Paradise Village in the early 1990s and George retired several years later

When asked about memorable experiences George told the story of 2 sisters with the surname Coyle who

were involved in the murder of 8 British soldiers in Northern Ireland George was detained by police in London when

he was overheard using the name Coyle He was held for several hours and nearly missed the start of their holiday

There were humorous experiences When on holidays in Mauritius they met a Chinese bookmaker When

George mentioned that Joyce was a psychic the bookmaker asked her to pick the race winners She correctly picked

the winners and the bookmaker made a lot of money This information soon spread and Joyce had to lock herself in a

washroom to escape the crowd

On their return from Mauritius their granddaughter went missing during the flight She was found on the

second floor of the jumbo jet in deep conversation with Engelbert Humperdinck

When asked about a bucket list George ever the adventurer says he would like to skydive That would be the

icing on an interesting cake

Potatoes Well a Girl Potato and Boy Potato had eyes for each other and got married and had a little Sweet Potato which they called Yam Of course they wanted the best for Yam When it was time they told her about the facts of life They warned her about going out and getting Half-baked so she

wouldnt get accidentally Mashed and get a bad name for herself like Hot Potato and end up with a bunch of Tater Tots Yam said not to worry no Spud would get her into the sack and make a Rotten Potato out of her But on the other hand she wouldnt stay home and become a Couch

Potato either She would get plenty of exercise so as not to be skinny like her Shoestring Cousins When she went off to Europe Mr and Mrs Potato told Yam to watch out for the

Hard-Boiled guys from Ireland the Greasy guys from France called the French Fries and when she went out west to watch out for the Indians so she wouldnt get scalloped Yam said she

would stay on the straight and narrow and wouldnt associate with those high class Yukon Golds or the ones from the Other Side of the tracks who advertise their trade on all the trucks that say

Frito Lay Mr and Mrs Potato sent Yam to Idaho P U (thats Potato University) so that when she graduated shed really Be In the Chips But in spite of all they did for her one day Yam came

home and announced she was going to marry Peter Mansbridge Yes Peter Mansbridge

Mr and Mrs Potato were very upset They told Yam she couldnt possibly marry

Kidney Infection

The kidneys are a pair of bean-shaped organs found along the posterior wall of the abdominal

cavity The left kidney is located slightly higher than the right kidney because the right side of the

liver is much larger than the left side The kidneys unlike the other organs of the abdominal cavity

are located posterior to the peritoneum and touch the muscles of the back The kidneys are

surrounded by a layer of adipose that holds them in place and protects them from physical

damage The kidneys filter metabolic wastes excess ions and chemicals from the blood to form

urine

Kidney infection (pyelonephritis) is a specific type of urinary tract infection (UTI) that generally begins in your urethra or bladder and travels up into your kidneys

A kidney infection requires prompt medical attention If not treated properly a kidney infection can permanently damage your kidneys or the bacteria can spread to your bloodstream and cause a life-threatening infection

Kidney infection treatment usually includes antibiotics and often requires hospitalization

Signs and symptoms of a kidney infection may include

bullFever bullBack side (flank) or groin pain bullAbdominal pain bullFrequent urination bullStrong persistent urge to urinate

bullBurning sensation or pain when urinating bullPus or blood in your urine (hematuria)

bullUrine that smells bad or is cloudy

When to see a doctor

Make an appointment with your doctor if you have any signs or symptoms that worry you Also make an appointment if youre being treated for a urinary tract infection but your signs and symp-toms arent improving

Severe kidney infection can lead to life-threatening complications Seek immediate medical atten-tion if you experience typical kidney infection symptoms combined with bloody urine or nausea and vomiting

If left untreated a kidney infection can lead to potentially serious complications such as

bullPermanent kidney damage Permanent kidney damage can lead to chronic kidney disease

bullBlood poisoning (septicemia) Your kidneys filter waste from your blood and then return your blood to the rest of your body If you have a kidney infection the bacteria can spread as the kid-neys return blood to circulation

On Saturday the 21st of February I had the pleasure of

attending a drama performance entitled ldquoSistersrdquo at the Providence

University College in Otterburne MB Set in Nova Scotia ldquoSistersrdquo is

a tough uncompromising look at a convent-run Native residential

school The play was very thought-provoking not skimming over the

wrongs done through the residential schools in the slightest but telling

the story from the nunsrsquo point of view which is not heard quite as often

The religious people are often demonized in this scenario and though

they did in many if not most cases do absolutely horrific things

unfortunately they often truly believed they were doing the right thing

The point of the play was that Christian people with good intensions

can still do very horrible and damaging things in the name of God The

people who created the Residential Schools did so in the firm belief that

their culture was better than the cultures of Canadarsquos indigenous

peoples Seeing the history through the eyes of Mary left me thinking

how tough it must have been for the nuns Becoming a nun for Mary

did not go in the direction she had envisioned We did not see the

priests or the government officials who instituted and ran the schools

Unseen their controlling presence demonstrated the prejudice and

domination that poisons Mary her fellow Sisters and us This play is a

confession an opportunity to speak the truth about the past so there

may be hope for reconciliation in the future ldquoSistersrdquo reminds us to

pay attention to the things we donrsquot see and to listen for the

silences that repress curiosity and truth-telling By Debbie Kokil

A man was sitting on the edge of the bed watching his wife who was looking at herself in the mirror Since her birthday was not far off he asked

what shed like to have for her birthday

Id like to be eight again she replied still looking in the mirror

On the morning of her Birthday he arose early He made her a nice big bowl of Coco Pops and then took her to Adventure World theme park

What a day He put her on every ride in the park the Death Slide the Wall of Fear the Screaming

Roller Coaster everything there was Five hours later they staggered out of the theme park Her head was reeling and her stomach felt

upside down

He then took her to a McDonalds where he ordered her a Happy Meal

with extra fries and a chocolate shake

Then it was off to a movie with popcorn a soda pop and her favourite candy MampMs

What a fabulous adventure Finally she wobbled home with her husband

and collapsed into the bed exhausted He leaned over his wife with a big smile

and lovingly asked

Well Dear what was it like being eight againrdquo Her eyes slowly opened and her expression suddenly changed

I meant my dress size you f retard

The moral of the story Even when a man is listening

he is gonna get it wrong

I have experienced life in Paradise

since I moved here as wonderful

but this is no Paradise when

the temperature plummets

and the sewer pipe freezes

Always be ready with this

Take Time

If you have never stood in awe

with sleep still in your eyes

And beheld the blazing glory

when at dawn the sun does rise

If you have never walked upon the grass

when wet with dew

And caught the shimmering sparkle

of the lights of pearly hue

Take Time

If you have never paused to hear

the robins as they sing

You know yoursquove missed the message

that has heralded the spring

And if yoursquove never watched a rose

itrsquos beauty to unfold

Yoursquove really missed a miracle

a wonder to behold

Take Time

Have you ever watched the raindrops

as to earth they gently fall

Without their healing magic

there would be no life at all

Have you ever on a summerrsquos day

given thanks for cooling breeze

As it rustles through the branches

of the tall and shady trees

Take Time

Have you ever stood as though transfixed

to wish upon a star

And felt their very nearness

although they shone so far

Have you ever paused to listen

to the drove of bumble bees

Or wished that you might be as free

To soar about at ease

An unwary bug to take

Take Time

Have you watched a furry caterpillar

wriggle through the grass

Or sensed a hiding cricket set

in silence as you pass

See the beauty of a water lily

floating on the lake

Where a bullfrog rests at leisure

Take Time

Have you listened to music

of a gurgling creek in spring

Or watched the beauteous butterfly

flit by on silken wing

Just to watch the fluffy snowflakes

as they flutter down to earth

Like diamonds in their sparkle

but to us have much more worth

Take Time

Have you ever watched the glorious sunset

as it nestles in the West

Bringing end to daily duties

beckons all the earth to rest

If yoursquove never paused to wonder

as such thins there are so many

Then you have missed so much in life

that doesnrsquot cost a penny

Take Time

Submitted by Paradise Resident Barb Prior

Many people worry about becoming more forgetful fearing it is the first sign of Alzheimers disease

In the past memory loss and confusion were considered a normal part of aging However scientists now

recognize that most people remain both alert and able as they age although it may take longer to remember

things

A lot of people experience memory lapses Some memory problems are serious and others are

not People with serious changes in memory personality and behavior may suffer from a form of brain

disease called Dementia Dementia affects a persons ability to carry out activities of daily living

Dementia is not part of aging

Some Causes of Dementia

- Adverse reaction to medication - Vision andor hearing problems

- Poor nutrition leading to nutritional imbalances and Vitamin deficiency - Minor head injuries

- Infections - Diabetes - Renal disease - Thyroid disease

With accurate diagnosis comes help and management

Symptoms of Dementia

- Asking the same question repeatedly - Becoming lost in familiar places

- Being unable to follow directions - Being disorientated about time people and places

- Neglecting hygiene nutrition or safety

21

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

The two most common forms of Dementia are Alzheimers disease and Vascular dementia

These two at the present are irreversible

In Alzheimers disease nerve cells change in certain parts of the brain resulting in the death of a large

number of brain cells As the disease progresses symptoms led to serious impairment in thinking judgement

and performance of daily activities

Vascular disease is caused by a series of strokes or changes in the blood supply to the brain resulting

in death of brain tissue The location and severity of the strokes determine the seriousness of the impairment

Symptoms begin abruptly and there is no way to reverse the damage caused by the stroke Treatment to

prevent further strokes is very important

Diagnosis of Dementia includes a complete medical history past and present prescriptions and over

the counter medications diet and general health The doctor will perform blood and urine tests as well as

problem solving and memory testing Because correct diagnosis depends on recalling details it would be

prudent to ask a family member to accompany you to the appointment

Treatment involves helping patients and there families to cope with the irreversible aspects of the

disease People with early and middle stages of Alzheimers can be treated with medications to delay the

worsening of some of the symptoms

For Vascular disease dementia it is important to prevent further strokes by controlling hypertension

treating high cholesterol controlling diabetes and refraining from smoking

Medication to reduce anxiety agitation depression or sleeping problems may be prescribed

Scientists are working to develop new drugs that someday may slow reverse or prevent Dementia

In the Feb 11 2015 Winnipeg Free Press there is an article regarding stroke cure which involves extracting

clots from the arteries they block This results in lower number of deaths and improved post stroke quality of

life

People with no Dementia should strive to keep there memory sharp Develop or remain involved in

activities that stimulate your mind and body Limit the use of alcohol because heavy drinking overtime can

cause permanent brain damage Take advantage of activities available here in the village such as cards

dancing books puzzles shuffle board and the pool or exercise equipment to socialize and activate your

mind and decrease depression Video and computer games are also great at keeping your mind sharp

regardless of what we told our children and grandchildren as they spent countless hours playing their games

These games stimulate the mind to make split second decisions and improves eye-hand co-ordination

Physical and mental changes occur with age in healthy people However much pain and suffering

can be avoided if the elderly their families and their doctor recognize that Dementia is a disease and not

part of normal aging

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 me for more details

Tentative dates Aug 45 amp Aug 1112 2015

I have booked two dates due to the fact a lot of people want to go both weeks but I have not received confirmation at

time of writing I need a lot more people to sign up to make two weeks work I suspect there are some snowbirds that

are away right now who will want to go so if you are in touch with them check to see if they are interested and let me

know We should have one bus for sure I will have to act on this in the next month or so as deposits are needed for

everything early This is an amazing deal an $8500 per person

Panama Cruise

We left Fort Lauderdale FL November 28th aboard the MS Zuiderdam for a ten day Panama cruise Ports of call included Half Moon Cay Bahamas Oranjestad Aruba Willemstad Curacao Colon Panama and Limon Costa Rica Highlights included going through the Panama Canal visiting the Embera Village in Panama via dugout canoe and a pontoon boat river tour in Costa Rica Weather was great all in all we had a wonderful time Larry amp Carole Trush

The Panama Canal connects the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans It is a 48 mile canal that is important for international

maritime trade Construction of the canal began in 1881 by France but there were engineering problems and too

many people were dying due to disease Construction stopped until the US took over in 1904 They took 10 years to

complete the canal The canal allowed ships to travel between the two oceans more safely and in half the time

In 1999 the Panamanian government took control of the canal The Panama Canal is one of the Seven Wonders of the

Modern World

Everyone has a story It may concern a career a hobby an achievement an experience etc etc In the PVRA 2015 newsletters we would like to profile residents of Paradise Village If you know of anyone you would like to see profiled call me at 204-422-5712 and I will try to arrange for an interview Larry Menec and the PVRA Newsletter

After learning of George Coyles varied life experiences I thought jockey of all trades might be an

appropriate descriptor In addition to racing horses he was involved in car racing motorcycle racing boxing served

in the British Navy and worked as an Electrician

At the age of 14 George worked in racing stables as a stable hand and exercise person He raced horses as an

amateur until age 17 He then moved to Wales where he trained horses for fox hunting

At the age 18 George joined the British Navy and served on the aircraft carrier The Implacable He trained

as a rigger and worked on aircraft frames When George became involved in boxing he found a lot of competition

among the 2200 men on the ship He recalls that in his first fight he walked into a right hand thrown by a Scotsman

and was knocked out within 30 seconds Things improved considerably and George was soon winning regularly

He went to Kent on leave and met Joyce They soon married a marriage they are proud to say has lasted 62

years They later moved to Essex also in England where George became employed as an electrician with the Ford

Motor Company During that time he raced motorcycles and cars throughout England

George and Joyce moved to Canada in the early 1970s They first settled in Shoal Lake MB where George

worked as an electrician a profession he continued to work at when they moved to Winnipeg this time at St Josephs

personal care home They moved to Paradise Village in the early 1990s and George retired several years later

When asked about memorable experiences George told the story of 2 sisters with the surname Coyle who

were involved in the murder of 8 British soldiers in Northern Ireland George was detained by police in London when

he was overheard using the name Coyle He was held for several hours and nearly missed the start of their holiday

There were humorous experiences When on holidays in Mauritius they met a Chinese bookmaker When

George mentioned that Joyce was a psychic the bookmaker asked her to pick the race winners She correctly picked

the winners and the bookmaker made a lot of money This information soon spread and Joyce had to lock herself in a

washroom to escape the crowd

On their return from Mauritius their granddaughter went missing during the flight She was found on the

second floor of the jumbo jet in deep conversation with Engelbert Humperdinck

When asked about a bucket list George ever the adventurer says he would like to skydive That would be the

icing on an interesting cake

Potatoes Well a Girl Potato and Boy Potato had eyes for each other and got married and had a little Sweet Potato which they called Yam Of course they wanted the best for Yam When it was time they told her about the facts of life They warned her about going out and getting Half-baked so she

wouldnt get accidentally Mashed and get a bad name for herself like Hot Potato and end up with a bunch of Tater Tots Yam said not to worry no Spud would get her into the sack and make a Rotten Potato out of her But on the other hand she wouldnt stay home and become a Couch

Potato either She would get plenty of exercise so as not to be skinny like her Shoestring Cousins When she went off to Europe Mr and Mrs Potato told Yam to watch out for the

Hard-Boiled guys from Ireland the Greasy guys from France called the French Fries and when she went out west to watch out for the Indians so she wouldnt get scalloped Yam said she

would stay on the straight and narrow and wouldnt associate with those high class Yukon Golds or the ones from the Other Side of the tracks who advertise their trade on all the trucks that say

Frito Lay Mr and Mrs Potato sent Yam to Idaho P U (thats Potato University) so that when she graduated shed really Be In the Chips But in spite of all they did for her one day Yam came

home and announced she was going to marry Peter Mansbridge Yes Peter Mansbridge

Mr and Mrs Potato were very upset They told Yam she couldnt possibly marry

Peter Mansbridge because hes just

Kidney Infection

The kidneys are a pair of bean-shaped organs found along the posterior wall of the abdominal

cavity The left kidney is located slightly higher than the right kidney because the right side of the

liver is much larger than the left side The kidneys unlike the other organs of the abdominal cavity

are located posterior to the peritoneum and touch the muscles of the back The kidneys are

surrounded by a layer of adipose that holds them in place and protects them from physical

damage The kidneys filter metabolic wastes excess ions and chemicals from the blood to form

urine

Kidney infection (pyelonephritis) is a specific type of urinary tract infection (UTI) that generally begins in your urethra or bladder and travels up into your kidneys

A kidney infection requires prompt medical attention If not treated properly a kidney infection can permanently damage your kidneys or the bacteria can spread to your bloodstream and cause a life-threatening infection

Kidney infection treatment usually includes antibiotics and often requires hospitalization

Signs and symptoms of a kidney infection may include

bullFever bullBack side (flank) or groin pain bullAbdominal pain bullFrequent urination bullStrong persistent urge to urinate

bullBurning sensation or pain when urinating bullPus or blood in your urine (hematuria)

bullUrine that smells bad or is cloudy

When to see a doctor

Make an appointment with your doctor if you have any signs or symptoms that worry you Also make an appointment if youre being treated for a urinary tract infection but your signs and symp-toms arent improving

Severe kidney infection can lead to life-threatening complications Seek immediate medical atten-tion if you experience typical kidney infection symptoms combined with bloody urine or nausea and vomiting

If left untreated a kidney infection can lead to potentially serious complications such as

bullPermanent kidney damage Permanent kidney damage can lead to chronic kidney disease

bullBlood poisoning (septicemia) Your kidneys filter waste from your blood and then return your blood to the rest of your body If you have a kidney infection the bacteria can spread as the kid-neys return blood to circulation

On Saturday the 21st of February I had the pleasure of

attending a drama performance entitled ldquoSistersrdquo at the Providence

University College in Otterburne MB Set in Nova Scotia ldquoSistersrdquo is

a tough uncompromising look at a convent-run Native residential

school The play was very thought-provoking not skimming over the

wrongs done through the residential schools in the slightest but telling

the story from the nunsrsquo point of view which is not heard quite as often

The religious people are often demonized in this scenario and though

they did in many if not most cases do absolutely horrific things

unfortunately they often truly believed they were doing the right thing

The point of the play was that Christian people with good intensions

can still do very horrible and damaging things in the name of God The

people who created the Residential Schools did so in the firm belief that

their culture was better than the cultures of Canadarsquos indigenous

peoples Seeing the history through the eyes of Mary left me thinking

how tough it must have been for the nuns Becoming a nun for Mary

did not go in the direction she had envisioned We did not see the

priests or the government officials who instituted and ran the schools

Unseen their controlling presence demonstrated the prejudice and

domination that poisons Mary her fellow Sisters and us This play is a

confession an opportunity to speak the truth about the past so there

may be hope for reconciliation in the future ldquoSistersrdquo reminds us to

pay attention to the things we donrsquot see and to listen for the

silences that repress curiosity and truth-telling By Debbie Kokil

Take Time

If you have never stood in awe

with sleep still in your eyes

And beheld the blazing glory

when at dawn the sun does rise

If you have never walked upon the grass

when wet with dew

And caught the shimmering sparkle

of the lights of pearly hue

Take Time

If you have never paused to hear

the robins as they sing

You know yoursquove missed the message

that has heralded the spring

And if yoursquove never watched a rose

itrsquos beauty to unfold

Yoursquove really missed a miracle

a wonder to behold

Take Time

Have you ever watched the raindrops

as to earth they gently fall

Without their healing magic

there would be no life at all

Have you ever on a summerrsquos day

given thanks for cooling breeze

As it rustles through the branches

of the tall and shady trees

Take Time

Have you ever stood as though transfixed

to wish upon a star

And felt their very nearness

although they shone so far

Have you ever paused to listen

to the drove of bumble bees

Or wished that you might be as free

To soar about at ease

An unwary bug to take

Take Time

Have you watched a furry caterpillar

wriggle through the grass

Or sensed a hiding cricket set

in silence as you pass

See the beauty of a water lily

floating on the lake

Where a bullfrog rests at leisure

Take Time

Have you listened to music

of a gurgling creek in spring

Or watched the beauteous butterfly

flit by on silken wing

Just to watch the fluffy snowflakes

as they flutter down to earth

Like diamonds in their sparkle

but to us have much more worth

Take Time

Have you ever watched the glorious sunset

as it nestles in the West

Bringing end to daily duties

beckons all the earth to rest

If yoursquove never paused to wonder

as such thins there are so many

Then you have missed so much in life

that doesnrsquot cost a penny

Take Time

Submitted by Paradise Resident Barb Prior

Many people worry about becoming more forgetful fearing it is the first sign of Alzheimers disease

In the past memory loss and confusion were considered a normal part of aging However scientists now

recognize that most people remain both alert and able as they age although it may take longer to remember

things

A lot of people experience memory lapses Some memory problems are serious and others are

not People with serious changes in memory personality and behavior may suffer from a form of brain

disease called Dementia Dementia affects a persons ability to carry out activities of daily living

Dementia is not part of aging

Some Causes of Dementia

- Adverse reaction to medication - Vision andor hearing problems

- Poor nutrition leading to nutritional imbalances and Vitamin deficiency - Minor head injuries

- Infections - Diabetes - Renal disease - Thyroid disease

With accurate diagnosis comes help and management

Symptoms of Dementia

- Asking the same question repeatedly - Becoming lost in familiar places

- Being unable to follow directions - Being disorientated about time people and places

- Neglecting hygiene nutrition or safety

21

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

The two most common forms of Dementia are Alzheimers disease and Vascular dementia

These two at the present are irreversible

In Alzheimers disease nerve cells change in certain parts of the brain resulting in the death of a large

number of brain cells As the disease progresses symptoms led to serious impairment in thinking judgement

and performance of daily activities

Vascular disease is caused by a series of strokes or changes in the blood supply to the brain resulting

in death of brain tissue The location and severity of the strokes determine the seriousness of the impairment

Symptoms begin abruptly and there is no way to reverse the damage caused by the stroke Treatment to

prevent further strokes is very important

Diagnosis of Dementia includes a complete medical history past and present prescriptions and over

the counter medications diet and general health The doctor will perform blood and urine tests as well as

problem solving and memory testing Because correct diagnosis depends on recalling details it would be

prudent to ask a family member to accompany you to the appointment

Treatment involves helping patients and there families to cope with the irreversible aspects of the

disease People with early and middle stages of Alzheimers can be treated with medications to delay the

worsening of some of the symptoms

For Vascular disease dementia it is important to prevent further strokes by controlling hypertension

treating high cholesterol controlling diabetes and refraining from smoking

Medication to reduce anxiety agitation depression or sleeping problems may be prescribed

Scientists are working to develop new drugs that someday may slow reverse or prevent Dementia

In the Feb 11 2015 Winnipeg Free Press there is an article regarding stroke cure which involves extracting

clots from the arteries they block This results in lower number of deaths and improved post stroke quality of

life

People with no Dementia should strive to keep there memory sharp Develop or remain involved in

activities that stimulate your mind and body Limit the use of alcohol because heavy drinking overtime can

cause permanent brain damage Take advantage of activities available here in the village such as cards

dancing books puzzles shuffle board and the pool or exercise equipment to socialize and activate your

mind and decrease depression Video and computer games are also great at keeping your mind sharp

regardless of what we told our children and grandchildren as they spent countless hours playing their games

These games stimulate the mind to make split second decisions and improves eye-hand co-ordination

Physical and mental changes occur with age in healthy people However much pain and suffering

can be avoided if the elderly their families and their doctor recognize that Dementia is a disease and not

part of normal aging

Panama Cruise

We left Fort Lauderdale FL November 28th aboard the MS Zuiderdam for a ten day Panama cruise Ports of call included Half Moon Cay Bahamas Oranjestad Aruba Willemstad Curacao Colon Panama and Limon Costa Rica Highlights included going through the Panama Canal visiting the Embera Village in Panama via dugout canoe and a pontoon boat river tour in Costa Rica Weather was great all in all we had a wonderful time Larry amp Carole Trush

The Panama Canal connects the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans It is a 48 mile canal that is important for international

maritime trade Construction of the canal began in 1881 by France but there were engineering problems and too

many people were dying due to disease Construction stopped until the US took over in 1904 They took 10 years to

complete the canal The canal allowed ships to travel between the two oceans more safely and in half the time

In 1999 the Panamanian government took control of the canal The Panama Canal is one of the Seven Wonders of the

Modern World

After learning of George Coyles varied life experiences I thought jockey of all trades might be an

appropriate descriptor In addition to racing horses he was involved in car racing motorcycle racing boxing served

in the British Navy and worked as an Electrician

At the age of 14 George worked in racing stables as a stable hand and exercise person He raced horses as an

amateur until age 17 He then moved to Wales where he trained horses for fox hunting

At the age 18 George joined the British Navy and served on the aircraft carrier The Implacable He trained

as a rigger and worked on aircraft frames When George became involved in boxing he found a lot of competition

among the 2200 men on the ship He recalls that in his first fight he walked into a right hand thrown by a Scotsman

and was knocked out within 30 seconds Things improved considerably and George was soon winning regularly

He went to Kent on leave and met Joyce They soon married a marriage they are proud to say has lasted 62

years They later moved to Essex also in England where George became employed as an electrician with the Ford

Motor Company During that time he raced motorcycles and cars throughout England

George and Joyce moved to Canada in the early 1970s They first settled in Shoal Lake MB where George

worked as an electrician a profession he continued to work at when they moved to Winnipeg this time at St Josephs

personal care home They moved to Paradise Village in the early 1990s and George retired several years later

When asked about memorable experiences George told the story of 2 sisters with the surname Coyle who

were involved in the murder of 8 British soldiers in Northern Ireland George was detained by police in London when

he was overheard using the name Coyle He was held for several hours and nearly missed the start of their holiday

There were humorous experiences When on holidays in Mauritius they met a Chinese bookmaker When

George mentioned that Joyce was a psychic the bookmaker asked her to pick the race winners She correctly picked

the winners and the bookmaker made a lot of money This information soon spread and Joyce had to lock herself in a

washroom to escape the crowd

On their return from Mauritius their granddaughter went missing during the flight She was found on the

second floor of the jumbo jet in deep conversation with Engelbert Humperdinck

When asked about a bucket list George ever the adventurer says he would like to skydive That would be the

icing on an interesting cake

wouldnt get accidentally Mashed and get a bad name for herself like Hot Potato and end up with a bunch of Tater Tots Yam said not to worry no Spud would get her into the sack and make a Rotten Potato out of her But on the other hand she wouldnt stay home and become a Couch

Potato either She would get plenty of exercise so as not to be skinny like her Shoestring Cousins When she went off to Europe Mr and Mrs Potato told Yam to watch out for the

Hard-Boiled guys from Ireland the Greasy guys from France called the French Fries and when she went out west to watch out for the Indians so she wouldnt get scalloped Yam said she

would stay on the straight and narrow and wouldnt associate with those high class Yukon Golds or the ones from the Other Side of the tracks who advertise their trade on all the trucks that say

Frito Lay Mr and Mrs Potato sent Yam to Idaho P U (thats Potato University) so that when she graduated shed really Be In the Chips But in spite of all they did for her one day Yam came

Kidney Infection

The kidneys are a pair of bean-shaped organs found along the posterior wall of the abdominal

cavity The left kidney is located slightly higher than the right kidney because the right side of the

liver is much larger than the left side The kidneys unlike the other organs of the abdominal cavity

are located posterior to the peritoneum and touch the muscles of the back The kidneys are

surrounded by a layer of adipose that holds them in place and protects them from physical

damage The kidneys filter metabolic wastes excess ions and chemicals from the blood to form

urine

Kidney infection (pyelonephritis) is a specific type of urinary tract infection (UTI) that generally begins in your urethra or bladder and travels up into your kidneys

A kidney infection requires prompt medical attention If not treated properly a kidney infection can permanently damage your kidneys or the bacteria can spread to your bloodstream and cause a life-threatening infection

Kidney infection treatment usually includes antibiotics and often requires hospitalization

Signs and symptoms of a kidney infection may include

bullFever bullBack side (flank) or groin pain bullAbdominal pain bullFrequent urination bullStrong persistent urge to urinate

bullBurning sensation or pain when urinating bullPus or blood in your urine (hematuria)

bullUrine that smells bad or is cloudy

When to see a doctor

Make an appointment with your doctor if you have any signs or symptoms that worry you Also make an appointment if youre being treated for a urinary tract infection but your signs and symp-toms arent improving

Severe kidney infection can lead to life-threatening complications Seek immediate medical atten-tion if you experience typical kidney infection symptoms combined with bloody urine or nausea and vomiting

If left untreated a kidney infection can lead to potentially serious complications such as

bullPermanent kidney damage Permanent kidney damage can lead to chronic kidney disease

bullBlood poisoning (septicemia) Your kidneys filter waste from your blood and then return your blood to the rest of your body If you have a kidney infection the bacteria can spread as the kid-neys return blood to circulation

On Saturday the 21st of February I had the pleasure of

attending a drama performance entitled ldquoSistersrdquo at the Providence

University College in Otterburne MB Set in Nova Scotia ldquoSistersrdquo is

a tough uncompromising look at a convent-run Native residential

school The play was very thought-provoking not skimming over the

wrongs done through the residential schools in the slightest but telling

the story from the nunsrsquo point of view which is not heard quite as often

The religious people are often demonized in this scenario and though

they did in many if not most cases do absolutely horrific things

unfortunately they often truly believed they were doing the right thing

The point of the play was that Christian people with good intensions

can still do very horrible and damaging things in the name of God The

people who created the Residential Schools did so in the firm belief that

their culture was better than the cultures of Canadarsquos indigenous

peoples Seeing the history through the eyes of Mary left me thinking

how tough it must have been for the nuns Becoming a nun for Mary

did not go in the direction she had envisioned We did not see the

priests or the government officials who instituted and ran the schools

Unseen their controlling presence demonstrated the prejudice and

domination that poisons Mary her fellow Sisters and us This play is a

confession an opportunity to speak the truth about the past so there

may be hope for reconciliation in the future ldquoSistersrdquo reminds us to

pay attention to the things we donrsquot see and to listen for the

silences that repress curiosity and truth-telling By Debbie Kokil

Take Time

If you have never stood in awe

with sleep still in your eyes

And beheld the blazing glory

when at dawn the sun does rise

If you have never walked upon the grass

when wet with dew

And caught the shimmering sparkle

of the lights of pearly hue

Take Time

If you have never paused to hear

the robins as they sing

You know yoursquove missed the message

that has heralded the spring

And if yoursquove never watched a rose

itrsquos beauty to unfold

Yoursquove really missed a miracle

a wonder to behold

Take Time

Have you ever watched the raindrops

as to earth they gently fall

Without their healing magic

there would be no life at all

Have you ever on a summerrsquos day

given thanks for cooling breeze

As it rustles through the branches

of the tall and shady trees

Take Time

Have you ever stood as though transfixed

to wish upon a star

And felt their very nearness

although they shone so far

Have you ever paused to listen

to the drove of bumble bees

Or wished that you might be as free

To soar about at ease

An unwary bug to take

Take Time

Have you watched a furry caterpillar

wriggle through the grass

Or sensed a hiding cricket set

in silence as you pass

See the beauty of a water lily

floating on the lake

Where a bullfrog rests at leisure

Take Time

Have you listened to music

of a gurgling creek in spring

Or watched the beauteous butterfly

flit by on silken wing

Just to watch the fluffy snowflakes

as they flutter down to earth

Like diamonds in their sparkle

but to us have much more worth

Take Time

Have you ever watched the glorious sunset

as it nestles in the West

Bringing end to daily duties

beckons all the earth to rest

If yoursquove never paused to wonder

as such thins there are so many

Then you have missed so much in life

that doesnrsquot cost a penny

Take Time

Submitted by Paradise Resident Barb Prior

Many people worry about becoming more forgetful fearing it is the first sign of Alzheimers disease

In the past memory loss and confusion were considered a normal part of aging However scientists now

recognize that most people remain both alert and able as they age although it may take longer to remember

things

A lot of people experience memory lapses Some memory problems are serious and others are

not People with serious changes in memory personality and behavior may suffer from a form of brain

disease called Dementia Dementia affects a persons ability to carry out activities of daily living

Dementia is not part of aging

Some Causes of Dementia

- Adverse reaction to medication - Vision andor hearing problems

- Poor nutrition leading to nutritional imbalances and Vitamin deficiency - Minor head injuries

- Infections - Diabetes - Renal disease - Thyroid disease

With accurate diagnosis comes help and management

Symptoms of Dementia

- Asking the same question repeatedly - Becoming lost in familiar places

- Being unable to follow directions - Being disorientated about time people and places

- Neglecting hygiene nutrition or safety

21

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

The two most common forms of Dementia are Alzheimers disease and Vascular dementia

These two at the present are irreversible

In Alzheimers disease nerve cells change in certain parts of the brain resulting in the death of a large

number of brain cells As the disease progresses symptoms led to serious impairment in thinking judgement

and performance of daily activities

Vascular disease is caused by a series of strokes or changes in the blood supply to the brain resulting

in death of brain tissue The location and severity of the strokes determine the seriousness of the impairment

Symptoms begin abruptly and there is no way to reverse the damage caused by the stroke Treatment to

prevent further strokes is very important

Diagnosis of Dementia includes a complete medical history past and present prescriptions and over

the counter medications diet and general health The doctor will perform blood and urine tests as well as

problem solving and memory testing Because correct diagnosis depends on recalling details it would be

prudent to ask a family member to accompany you to the appointment

Treatment involves helping patients and there families to cope with the irreversible aspects of the

disease People with early and middle stages of Alzheimers can be treated with medications to delay the

worsening of some of the symptoms

For Vascular disease dementia it is important to prevent further strokes by controlling hypertension

treating high cholesterol controlling diabetes and refraining from smoking

Medication to reduce anxiety agitation depression or sleeping problems may be prescribed

Scientists are working to develop new drugs that someday may slow reverse or prevent Dementia

In the Feb 11 2015 Winnipeg Free Press there is an article regarding stroke cure which involves extracting

clots from the arteries they block This results in lower number of deaths and improved post stroke quality of

life

People with no Dementia should strive to keep there memory sharp Develop or remain involved in

activities that stimulate your mind and body Limit the use of alcohol because heavy drinking overtime can

cause permanent brain damage Take advantage of activities available here in the village such as cards

dancing books puzzles shuffle board and the pool or exercise equipment to socialize and activate your

mind and decrease depression Video and computer games are also great at keeping your mind sharp

regardless of what we told our children and grandchildren as they spent countless hours playing their games

These games stimulate the mind to make split second decisions and improves eye-hand co-ordination

Physical and mental changes occur with age in healthy people However much pain and suffering

can be avoided if the elderly their families and their doctor recognize that Dementia is a disease and not

Last month I asked if you would be interested in South Beach trips every 2nd month and the answer was YES I had

suggested March 3031 for the next trip but found out those days are booked I am told that I have to book a long time

in advance to get the dates we want for the hotel and buses as both are very busy in the coming months

April 2324th

has been booked for the next trip Please contact me ASAP

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 me for more details

Tentative dates Aug 45 amp Aug 1112 2015

I have booked two dates due to the fact a lot of people want to go both weeks but I have not received confirmation at

time of writing I need a lot more people to sign up to make two weeks work I suspect there are some snowbirds that

are away right now who will want to go so if you are in touch with them check to see if they are interested and let me

know We should have one bus for sure I will have to act on this in the next month or so as deposits are needed for

everything early This is an amazing deal an $8500 per person

(based on double occupancy If you want more details call me

Panama Cruise

We left Fort Lauderdale FL November 28th aboard the MS Zuiderdam for a ten day Panama cruise Ports of call included Half Moon Cay Bahamas Oranjestad Aruba Willemstad Curacao Colon Panama and Limon Costa Rica Highlights included going through the Panama Canal visiting the Embera Village in Panama via dugout canoe and a pontoon boat river tour in Costa Rica Weather was great all in all we had a wonderful time Larry amp Carole Trush

The Panama Canal connects the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans It is a 48 mile canal that is important for international

maritime trade Construction of the canal began in 1881 by France but there were engineering problems and too

many people were dying due to disease Construction stopped until the US took over in 1904 They took 10 years to

complete the canal The canal allowed ships to travel between the two oceans more safely and in half the time

In 1999 the Panamanian government took control of the canal The Panama Canal is one of the Seven Wonders of the

Modern World

Everyone has a story It may concern a career a hobby an achievement an experience etc etc In the PVRA 2015 newsletters we would like to profile residents of Paradise Village If you know of anyone you would like to see profiled call me at 204-422-5712 and I will try to arrange for an interview Larry Menec and the PVRA Newsletter

After learning of George Coyles varied life experiences I thought jockey of all trades might be an

appropriate descriptor In addition to racing horses he was involved in car racing motorcycle racing boxing served

in the British Navy and worked as an Electrician

At the age of 14 George worked in racing stables as a stable hand and exercise person He raced horses as an

amateur until age 17 He then moved to Wales where he trained horses for fox hunting

At the age 18 George joined the British Navy and served on the aircraft carrier The Implacable He trained

as a rigger and worked on aircraft frames When George became involved in boxing he found a lot of competition

among the 2200 men on the ship He recalls that in his first fight he walked into a right hand thrown by a Scotsman

and was knocked out within 30 seconds Things improved considerably and George was soon winning regularly

He went to Kent on leave and met Joyce They soon married a marriage they are proud to say has lasted 62

years They later moved to Essex also in England where George became employed as an electrician with the Ford

Motor Company During that time he raced motorcycles and cars throughout England

George and Joyce moved to Canada in the early 1970s They first settled in Shoal Lake MB where George

worked as an electrician a profession he continued to work at when they moved to Winnipeg this time at St Josephs

personal care home They moved to Paradise Village in the early 1990s and George retired several years later

When asked about memorable experiences George told the story of 2 sisters with the surname Coyle who

were involved in the murder of 8 British soldiers in Northern Ireland George was detained by police in London when

he was overheard using the name Coyle He was held for several hours and nearly missed the start of their holiday

There were humorous experiences When on holidays in Mauritius they met a Chinese bookmaker When

George mentioned that Joyce was a psychic the bookmaker asked her to pick the race winners She correctly picked

the winners and the bookmaker made a lot of money This information soon spread and Joyce had to lock herself in a

washroom to escape the crowd

On their return from Mauritius their granddaughter went missing during the flight She was found on the

second floor of the jumbo jet in deep conversation with Engelbert Humperdinck

When asked about a bucket list George ever the adventurer says he would like to skydive That would be the

icing on an interesting cake

Potatoes Well a Girl Potato and Boy Potato had eyes for each other and got married and had a little Sweet Potato which they called Yam Of course they wanted the best for Yam When it was time they told her about the facts of life They warned her about going out and getting Half-baked so she

wouldnt get accidentally Mashed and get a bad name for herself like Hot Potato and end up with a bunch of Tater Tots Yam said not to worry no Spud would get her into the sack and make a Rotten Potato out of her But on the other hand she wouldnt stay home and become a Couch

Potato either She would get plenty of exercise so as not to be skinny like her Shoestring Cousins When she went off to Europe Mr and Mrs Potato told Yam to watch out for the

Hard-Boiled guys from Ireland the Greasy guys from France called the French Fries and when she went out west to watch out for the Indians so she wouldnt get scalloped Yam said she

would stay on the straight and narrow and wouldnt associate with those high class Yukon Golds or the ones from the Other Side of the tracks who advertise their trade on all the trucks that say

Frito Lay Mr and Mrs Potato sent Yam to Idaho P U (thats Potato University) so that when she graduated shed really Be In the Chips But in spite of all they did for her one day Yam came

home and announced she was going to marry Peter Mansbridge Yes Peter Mansbridge

Mr and Mrs Potato were very upset They told Yam she couldnt possibly marry

Kidney Infection

The kidneys are a pair of bean-shaped organs found along the posterior wall of the abdominal

cavity The left kidney is located slightly higher than the right kidney because the right side of the

liver is much larger than the left side The kidneys unlike the other organs of the abdominal cavity

are located posterior to the peritoneum and touch the muscles of the back The kidneys are

surrounded by a layer of adipose that holds them in place and protects them from physical

damage The kidneys filter metabolic wastes excess ions and chemicals from the blood to form

urine

Kidney infection (pyelonephritis) is a specific type of urinary tract infection (UTI) that generally begins in your urethra or bladder and travels up into your kidneys

A kidney infection requires prompt medical attention If not treated properly a kidney infection can permanently damage your kidneys or the bacteria can spread to your bloodstream and cause a life-threatening infection

Kidney infection treatment usually includes antibiotics and often requires hospitalization

Signs and symptoms of a kidney infection may include

bullFever bullBack side (flank) or groin pain bullAbdominal pain bullFrequent urination bullStrong persistent urge to urinate

bullBurning sensation or pain when urinating bullPus or blood in your urine (hematuria)

bullUrine that smells bad or is cloudy

When to see a doctor

Make an appointment with your doctor if you have any signs or symptoms that worry you Also make an appointment if youre being treated for a urinary tract infection but your signs and symp-toms arent improving

Severe kidney infection can lead to life-threatening complications Seek immediate medical atten-tion if you experience typical kidney infection symptoms combined with bloody urine or nausea and vomiting

If left untreated a kidney infection can lead to potentially serious complications such as

bullPermanent kidney damage Permanent kidney damage can lead to chronic kidney disease

bullBlood poisoning (septicemia) Your kidneys filter waste from your blood and then return your blood to the rest of your body If you have a kidney infection the bacteria can spread as the kid-neys return blood to circulation

On Saturday the 21st of February I had the pleasure of

attending a drama performance entitled ldquoSistersrdquo at the Providence

University College in Otterburne MB Set in Nova Scotia ldquoSistersrdquo is

a tough uncompromising look at a convent-run Native residential

school The play was very thought-provoking not skimming over the

wrongs done through the residential schools in the slightest but telling

the story from the nunsrsquo point of view which is not heard quite as often

The religious people are often demonized in this scenario and though

they did in many if not most cases do absolutely horrific things

unfortunately they often truly believed they were doing the right thing

The point of the play was that Christian people with good intensions

can still do very horrible and damaging things in the name of God The

people who created the Residential Schools did so in the firm belief that

their culture was better than the cultures of Canadarsquos indigenous

peoples Seeing the history through the eyes of Mary left me thinking

how tough it must have been for the nuns Becoming a nun for Mary

did not go in the direction she had envisioned We did not see the

priests or the government officials who instituted and ran the schools

Unseen their controlling presence demonstrated the prejudice and

domination that poisons Mary her fellow Sisters and us This play is a

confession an opportunity to speak the truth about the past so there

may be hope for reconciliation in the future ldquoSistersrdquo reminds us to

pay attention to the things we donrsquot see and to listen for the

silences that repress curiosity and truth-telling By Debbie Kokil

Take Time

If you have never stood in awe

with sleep still in your eyes

And beheld the blazing glory

when at dawn the sun does rise

If you have never walked upon the grass

when wet with dew

And caught the shimmering sparkle

of the lights of pearly hue

Take Time

If you have never paused to hear

the robins as they sing

You know yoursquove missed the message

that has heralded the spring

And if yoursquove never watched a rose

itrsquos beauty to unfold

Yoursquove really missed a miracle

a wonder to behold

Take Time

Have you ever watched the raindrops

as to earth they gently fall

Without their healing magic

there would be no life at all

Have you ever on a summerrsquos day

given thanks for cooling breeze

As it rustles through the branches

of the tall and shady trees

Take Time

Have you ever stood as though transfixed

to wish upon a star

And felt their very nearness

although they shone so far

Have you ever paused to listen

to the drove of bumble bees

Or wished that you might be as free

To soar about at ease

An unwary bug to take

Take Time

Have you watched a furry caterpillar

wriggle through the grass

Or sensed a hiding cricket set

in silence as you pass

See the beauty of a water lily

floating on the lake

Where a bullfrog rests at leisure

Take Time

Have you listened to music

of a gurgling creek in spring

Or watched the beauteous butterfly

flit by on silken wing

Just to watch the fluffy snowflakes

as they flutter down to earth

Like diamonds in their sparkle

but to us have much more worth

Take Time

Have you ever watched the glorious sunset

as it nestles in the West

Bringing end to daily duties

beckons all the earth to rest

If yoursquove never paused to wonder

as such thins there are so many

Then you have missed so much in life

that doesnrsquot cost a penny

Take Time

Submitted by Paradise Resident Barb Prior

Many people worry about becoming more forgetful fearing it is the first sign of Alzheimers disease

In the past memory loss and confusion were considered a normal part of aging However scientists now

recognize that most people remain both alert and able as they age although it may take longer to remember

things

A lot of people experience memory lapses Some memory problems are serious and others are

not People with serious changes in memory personality and behavior may suffer from a form of brain

disease called Dementia Dementia affects a persons ability to carry out activities of daily living

Dementia is not part of aging

Some Causes of Dementia

- Adverse reaction to medication - Vision andor hearing problems

- Poor nutrition leading to nutritional imbalances and Vitamin deficiency - Minor head injuries

- Infections - Diabetes - Renal disease - Thyroid disease

With accurate diagnosis comes help and management

Symptoms of Dementia

- Asking the same question repeatedly - Becoming lost in familiar places

- Being unable to follow directions - Being disorientated about time people and places

- Neglecting hygiene nutrition or safety

21

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

The two most common forms of Dementia are Alzheimers disease and Vascular dementia

These two at the present are irreversible

In Alzheimers disease nerve cells change in certain parts of the brain resulting in the death of a large

number of brain cells As the disease progresses symptoms led to serious impairment in thinking judgement

and performance of daily activities

Vascular disease is caused by a series of strokes or changes in the blood supply to the brain resulting

in death of brain tissue The location and severity of the strokes determine the seriousness of the impairment

Symptoms begin abruptly and there is no way to reverse the damage caused by the stroke Treatment to

prevent further strokes is very important

Diagnosis of Dementia includes a complete medical history past and present prescriptions and over

the counter medications diet and general health The doctor will perform blood and urine tests as well as

problem solving and memory testing Because correct diagnosis depends on recalling details it would be

prudent to ask a family member to accompany you to the appointment

Treatment involves helping patients and there families to cope with the irreversible aspects of the

disease People with early and middle stages of Alzheimers can be treated with medications to delay the

worsening of some of the symptoms

For Vascular disease dementia it is important to prevent further strokes by controlling hypertension

treating high cholesterol controlling diabetes and refraining from smoking

Medication to reduce anxiety agitation depression or sleeping problems may be prescribed

Scientists are working to develop new drugs that someday may slow reverse or prevent Dementia

In the Feb 11 2015 Winnipeg Free Press there is an article regarding stroke cure which involves extracting

clots from the arteries they block This results in lower number of deaths and improved post stroke quality of

life

People with no Dementia should strive to keep there memory sharp Develop or remain involved in

activities that stimulate your mind and body Limit the use of alcohol because heavy drinking overtime can

cause permanent brain damage Take advantage of activities available here in the village such as cards

dancing books puzzles shuffle board and the pool or exercise equipment to socialize and activate your

mind and decrease depression Video and computer games are also great at keeping your mind sharp

regardless of what we told our children and grandchildren as they spent countless hours playing their games

These games stimulate the mind to make split second decisions and improves eye-hand co-ordination

Physical and mental changes occur with age in healthy people However much pain and suffering

can be avoided if the elderly their families and their doctor recognize that Dementia is a disease and not

part of normal aging

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 me for more details

Tentative dates Aug 45 amp Aug 1112 2015

I have booked two dates due to the fact a lot of people want to go both weeks but I have not received confirmation at

time of writing I need a lot more people to sign up to make two weeks work I suspect there are some snowbirds that

are away right now who will want to go so if you are in touch with them check to see if they are interested and let me

know We should have one bus for sure I will have to act on this in the next month or so as deposits are needed for

Panama Cruise

We left Fort Lauderdale FL November 28th aboard the MS Zuiderdam for a ten day Panama cruise Ports of call included Half Moon Cay Bahamas Oranjestad Aruba Willemstad Curacao Colon Panama and Limon Costa Rica Highlights included going through the Panama Canal visiting the Embera Village in Panama via dugout canoe and a pontoon boat river tour in Costa Rica Weather was great all in all we had a wonderful time Larry amp Carole Trush

The Panama Canal connects the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans It is a 48 mile canal that is important for international

maritime trade Construction of the canal began in 1881 by France but there were engineering problems and too

many people were dying due to disease Construction stopped until the US took over in 1904 They took 10 years to

complete the canal The canal allowed ships to travel between the two oceans more safely and in half the time

In 1999 the Panamanian government took control of the canal The Panama Canal is one of the Seven Wonders of the

Modern World

Everyone has a story It may concern a career a hobby an achievement an experience etc etc In the PVRA 2015 newsletters we would like to profile residents of Paradise Village If you know of anyone you would like to see profiled call me at 204-422-5712 and I will try to arrange for an interview Larry Menec and the PVRA Newsletter

After learning of George Coyles varied life experiences I thought jockey of all trades might be an

appropriate descriptor In addition to racing horses he was involved in car racing motorcycle racing boxing served

in the British Navy and worked as an Electrician

At the age of 14 George worked in racing stables as a stable hand and exercise person He raced horses as an

amateur until age 17 He then moved to Wales where he trained horses for fox hunting

At the age 18 George joined the British Navy and served on the aircraft carrier The Implacable He trained

as a rigger and worked on aircraft frames When George became involved in boxing he found a lot of competition

among the 2200 men on the ship He recalls that in his first fight he walked into a right hand thrown by a Scotsman

and was knocked out within 30 seconds Things improved considerably and George was soon winning regularly

He went to Kent on leave and met Joyce They soon married a marriage they are proud to say has lasted 62

years They later moved to Essex also in England where George became employed as an electrician with the Ford

Motor Company During that time he raced motorcycles and cars throughout England

George and Joyce moved to Canada in the early 1970s They first settled in Shoal Lake MB where George

worked as an electrician a profession he continued to work at when they moved to Winnipeg this time at St Josephs

personal care home They moved to Paradise Village in the early 1990s and George retired several years later

When asked about memorable experiences George told the story of 2 sisters with the surname Coyle who

were involved in the murder of 8 British soldiers in Northern Ireland George was detained by police in London when

he was overheard using the name Coyle He was held for several hours and nearly missed the start of their holiday

There were humorous experiences When on holidays in Mauritius they met a Chinese bookmaker When

George mentioned that Joyce was a psychic the bookmaker asked her to pick the race winners She correctly picked

the winners and the bookmaker made a lot of money This information soon spread and Joyce had to lock herself in a

washroom to escape the crowd

On their return from Mauritius their granddaughter went missing during the flight She was found on the

second floor of the jumbo jet in deep conversation with Engelbert Humperdinck

When asked about a bucket list George ever the adventurer says he would like to skydive That would be the

icing on an interesting cake

Potatoes Well a Girl Potato and Boy Potato had eyes for each other and got married and had a little Sweet Potato which they called Yam Of course they wanted the best for Yam When it was time they told her about the facts of life They warned her about going out and getting Half-baked so she

wouldnt get accidentally Mashed and get a bad name for herself like Hot Potato and end up with a bunch of Tater Tots Yam said not to worry no Spud would get her into the sack and make a Rotten Potato out of her But on the other hand she wouldnt stay home and become a Couch

Potato either She would get plenty of exercise so as not to be skinny like her Shoestring Cousins When she went off to Europe Mr and Mrs Potato told Yam to watch out for the

Hard-Boiled guys from Ireland the Greasy guys from France called the French Fries and when she went out west to watch out for the Indians so she wouldnt get scalloped Yam said she

would stay on the straight and narrow and wouldnt associate with those high class Yukon Golds or the ones from the Other Side of the tracks who advertise their trade on all the trucks that say

Frito Lay Mr and Mrs Potato sent Yam to Idaho P U (thats Potato University) so that when she graduated shed really Be In the Chips But in spite of all they did for her one day Yam came

home and announced she was going to marry Peter Mansbridge Yes Peter Mansbridge

Kidney Infection

The kidneys are a pair of bean-shaped organs found along the posterior wall of the abdominal

cavity The left kidney is located slightly higher than the right kidney because the right side of the

liver is much larger than the left side The kidneys unlike the other organs of the abdominal cavity

are located posterior to the peritoneum and touch the muscles of the back The kidneys are

surrounded by a layer of adipose that holds them in place and protects them from physical

damage The kidneys filter metabolic wastes excess ions and chemicals from the blood to form

urine

Kidney infection (pyelonephritis) is a specific type of urinary tract infection (UTI) that generally begins in your urethra or bladder and travels up into your kidneys

A kidney infection requires prompt medical attention If not treated properly a kidney infection can permanently damage your kidneys or the bacteria can spread to your bloodstream and cause a life-threatening infection

Kidney infection treatment usually includes antibiotics and often requires hospitalization

Signs and symptoms of a kidney infection may include

bullFever bullBack side (flank) or groin pain bullAbdominal pain bullFrequent urination bullStrong persistent urge to urinate

bullBurning sensation or pain when urinating bullPus or blood in your urine (hematuria)

bullUrine that smells bad or is cloudy

When to see a doctor

Make an appointment with your doctor if you have any signs or symptoms that worry you Also make an appointment if youre being treated for a urinary tract infection but your signs and symp-toms arent improving

Severe kidney infection can lead to life-threatening complications Seek immediate medical atten-tion if you experience typical kidney infection symptoms combined with bloody urine or nausea and vomiting

If left untreated a kidney infection can lead to potentially serious complications such as

bullPermanent kidney damage Permanent kidney damage can lead to chronic kidney disease

bullBlood poisoning (septicemia) Your kidneys filter waste from your blood and then return your blood to the rest of your body If you have a kidney infection the bacteria can spread as the kid-neys return blood to circulation

On Saturday the 21st of February I had the pleasure of

attending a drama performance entitled ldquoSistersrdquo at the Providence

University College in Otterburne MB Set in Nova Scotia ldquoSistersrdquo is

a tough uncompromising look at a convent-run Native residential

school The play was very thought-provoking not skimming over the

wrongs done through the residential schools in the slightest but telling

the story from the nunsrsquo point of view which is not heard quite as often

The religious people are often demonized in this scenario and though

they did in many if not most cases do absolutely horrific things

unfortunately they often truly believed they were doing the right thing

The point of the play was that Christian people with good intensions

can still do very horrible and damaging things in the name of God The

people who created the Residential Schools did so in the firm belief that

their culture was better than the cultures of Canadarsquos indigenous

peoples Seeing the history through the eyes of Mary left me thinking

how tough it must have been for the nuns Becoming a nun for Mary

did not go in the direction she had envisioned We did not see the

priests or the government officials who instituted and ran the schools

Unseen their controlling presence demonstrated the prejudice and

domination that poisons Mary her fellow Sisters and us This play is a

confession an opportunity to speak the truth about the past so there

may be hope for reconciliation in the future ldquoSistersrdquo reminds us to

pay attention to the things we donrsquot see and to listen for the

silences that repress curiosity and truth-telling By Debbie Kokil

Take Time

If you have never stood in awe

with sleep still in your eyes

And beheld the blazing glory

when at dawn the sun does rise

If you have never walked upon the grass

when wet with dew

And caught the shimmering sparkle

of the lights of pearly hue

Take Time

If you have never paused to hear

the robins as they sing

You know yoursquove missed the message

that has heralded the spring

And if yoursquove never watched a rose

itrsquos beauty to unfold

Yoursquove really missed a miracle

a wonder to behold

Take Time

Have you ever watched the raindrops

as to earth they gently fall

Without their healing magic

there would be no life at all

Have you ever on a summerrsquos day

given thanks for cooling breeze

As it rustles through the branches

of the tall and shady trees

Take Time

Have you ever stood as though transfixed

to wish upon a star

And felt their very nearness

although they shone so far

Have you ever paused to listen

to the drove of bumble bees

Or wished that you might be as free

To soar about at ease

An unwary bug to take

Take Time

Have you watched a furry caterpillar

wriggle through the grass

Or sensed a hiding cricket set

in silence as you pass

See the beauty of a water lily

floating on the lake

Where a bullfrog rests at leisure

Take Time

Have you listened to music

of a gurgling creek in spring

Or watched the beauteous butterfly

flit by on silken wing

Just to watch the fluffy snowflakes

as they flutter down to earth

Like diamonds in their sparkle

but to us have much more worth

Take Time

Have you ever watched the glorious sunset

as it nestles in the West

Many people worry about becoming more forgetful fearing it is the first sign of Alzheimers disease

In the past memory loss and confusion were considered a normal part of aging However scientists now

recognize that most people remain both alert and able as they age although it may take longer to remember

things

A lot of people experience memory lapses Some memory problems are serious and others are

not People with serious changes in memory personality and behavior may suffer from a form of brain

disease called Dementia Dementia affects a persons ability to carry out activities of daily living

Dementia is not part of aging

Some Causes of Dementia

- Adverse reaction to medication - Vision andor hearing problems

- Poor nutrition leading to nutritional imbalances and Vitamin deficiency - Minor head injuries

- Infections - Diabetes - Renal disease - Thyroid disease

With accurate diagnosis comes help and management

Symptoms of Dementia

- Asking the same question repeatedly - Becoming lost in familiar places

- Being unable to follow directions - Being disorientated about time people and places

- Neglecting hygiene nutrition or safety

21

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

The two most common forms of Dementia are Alzheimers disease and Vascular dementia

These two at the present are irreversible

In Alzheimers disease nerve cells change in certain parts of the brain resulting in the death of a large

number of brain cells As the disease progresses symptoms led to serious impairment in thinking judgement

and performance of daily activities

Vascular disease is caused by a series of strokes or changes in the blood supply to the brain resulting

in death of brain tissue The location and severity of the strokes determine the seriousness of the impairment

Symptoms begin abruptly and there is no way to reverse the damage caused by the stroke Treatment to

prevent further strokes is very important

Diagnosis of Dementia includes a complete medical history past and present prescriptions and over

the counter medications diet and general health The doctor will perform blood and urine tests as well as

problem solving and memory testing Because correct diagnosis depends on recalling details it would be

prudent to ask a family member to accompany you to the appointment

Treatment involves helping patients and there families to cope with the irreversible aspects of the

disease People with early and middle stages of Alzheimers can be treated with medications to delay the

worsening of some of the symptoms

For Vascular disease dementia it is important to prevent further strokes by controlling hypertension

treating high cholesterol controlling diabetes and refraining from smoking

Medication to reduce anxiety agitation depression or sleeping problems may be prescribed

Scientists are working to develop new drugs that someday may slow reverse or prevent Dementia

In the Feb 11 2015 Winnipeg Free Press there is an article regarding stroke cure which involves extracting

clots from the arteries they block This results in lower number of deaths and improved post stroke quality of

life

People with no Dementia should strive to keep there memory sharp Develop or remain involved in

activities that stimulate your mind and body Limit the use of alcohol because heavy drinking overtime can

cause permanent brain damage Take advantage of activities available here in the village such as cards

dancing books puzzles shuffle board and the pool or exercise equipment to socialize and activate your

mind and decrease depression Video and computer games are also great at keeping your mind sharp

regardless of what we told our children and grandchildren as they spent countless hours playing their games

These games stimulate the mind to make split second decisions and improves eye-hand co-ordination

Physical and mental changes occur with age in healthy people However much pain and suffering

can be avoided if the elderly their families and their doctor recognize that Dementia is a disease and not

part of normal aging

Call me for more details

Tentative dates Aug 45 amp Aug 1112 2015

I have booked two dates due to the fact a lot of people want to go both weeks but I have not received confirmation at

Panama Cruise

We left Fort Lauderdale FL November 28th aboard the MS Zuiderdam for a ten day Panama cruise Ports of call included Half Moon Cay Bahamas Oranjestad Aruba Willemstad Curacao Colon Panama and Limon Costa Rica Highlights included going through the Panama Canal visiting the Embera Village in Panama via dugout canoe and a pontoon boat river tour in Costa Rica Weather was great all in all we had a wonderful time Larry amp Carole Trush

The Panama Canal connects the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans It is a 48 mile canal that is important for international

maritime trade Construction of the canal began in 1881 by France but there were engineering problems and too

many people were dying due to disease Construction stopped until the US took over in 1904 They took 10 years to

complete the canal The canal allowed ships to travel between the two oceans more safely and in half the time

In 1999 the Panamanian government took control of the canal The Panama Canal is one of the Seven Wonders of the

Modern World

After learning of George Coyles varied life experiences I thought jockey of all trades might be an

appropriate descriptor In addition to racing horses he was involved in car racing motorcycle racing boxing served

in the British Navy and worked as an Electrician

At the age of 14 George worked in racing stables as a stable hand and exercise person He raced horses as an

amateur until age 17 He then moved to Wales where he trained horses for fox hunting

At the age 18 George joined the British Navy and served on the aircraft carrier The Implacable He trained

as a rigger and worked on aircraft frames When George became involved in boxing he found a lot of competition

among the 2200 men on the ship He recalls that in his first fight he walked into a right hand thrown by a Scotsman

and was knocked out within 30 seconds Things improved considerably and George was soon winning regularly

He went to Kent on leave and met Joyce They soon married a marriage they are proud to say has lasted 62

years They later moved to Essex also in England where George became employed as an electrician with the Ford

Motor Company During that time he raced motorcycles and cars throughout England

George and Joyce moved to Canada in the early 1970s They first settled in Shoal Lake MB where George

worked as an electrician a profession he continued to work at when they moved to Winnipeg this time at St Josephs

personal care home They moved to Paradise Village in the early 1990s and George retired several years later

When asked about memorable experiences George told the story of 2 sisters with the surname Coyle who

were involved in the murder of 8 British soldiers in Northern Ireland George was detained by police in London when

he was overheard using the name Coyle He was held for several hours and nearly missed the start of their holiday

There were humorous experiences When on holidays in Mauritius they met a Chinese bookmaker When

George mentioned that Joyce was a psychic the bookmaker asked her to pick the race winners She correctly picked

the winners and the bookmaker made a lot of money This information soon spread and Joyce had to lock herself in a

washroom to escape the crowd

On their return from Mauritius their granddaughter went missing during the flight She was found on the

second floor of the jumbo jet in deep conversation with Engelbert Humperdinck

When asked about a bucket list George ever the adventurer says he would like to skydive That would be the

icing on an interesting cake

wouldnt get accidentally Mashed and get a bad name for herself like Hot Potato and end up with a bunch of Tater Tots Yam said not to worry no Spud would get her into the sack and make a Rotten Potato out of her But on the other hand she wouldnt stay home and become a Couch

Potato either She would get plenty of exercise so as not to be skinny like her Shoestring Cousins When she went off to Europe Mr and Mrs Potato told Yam to watch out for the

Hard-Boiled guys from Ireland the Greasy guys from France called the French Fries and when she went out west to watch out for the Indians so she wouldnt get scalloped Yam said she

would stay on the straight and narrow and wouldnt associate with those high class Yukon Golds or the ones from the Other Side of the tracks who advertise their trade on all the trucks that say

Frito Lay Mr and Mrs Potato sent Yam to Idaho P U (thats Potato University) so that when she graduated shed really Be In the Chips But in spite of all they did for her one day Yam came

Kidney Infection

The kidneys are a pair of bean-shaped organs found along the posterior wall of the abdominal

cavity The left kidney is located slightly higher than the right kidney because the right side of the

liver is much larger than the left side The kidneys unlike the other organs of the abdominal cavity

are located posterior to the peritoneum and touch the muscles of the back The kidneys are

surrounded by a layer of adipose that holds them in place and protects them from physical

damage The kidneys filter metabolic wastes excess ions and chemicals from the blood to form

urine

Kidney infection (pyelonephritis) is a specific type of urinary tract infection (UTI) that generally begins in your urethra or bladder and travels up into your kidneys

A kidney infection requires prompt medical attention If not treated properly a kidney infection can permanently damage your kidneys or the bacteria can spread to your bloodstream and cause a life-threatening infection

Kidney infection treatment usually includes antibiotics and often requires hospitalization

Signs and symptoms of a kidney infection may include

bullFever bullBack side (flank) or groin pain bullAbdominal pain bullFrequent urination bullStrong persistent urge to urinate

bullBurning sensation or pain when urinating bullPus or blood in your urine (hematuria)

bullUrine that smells bad or is cloudy

When to see a doctor

Make an appointment with your doctor if you have any signs or symptoms that worry you Also make an appointment if youre being treated for a urinary tract infection but your signs and symp-toms arent improving

Severe kidney infection can lead to life-threatening complications Seek immediate medical atten-tion if you experience typical kidney infection symptoms combined with bloody urine or nausea and vomiting

If left untreated a kidney infection can lead to potentially serious complications such as

bullPermanent kidney damage Permanent kidney damage can lead to chronic kidney disease

bullBlood poisoning (septicemia) Your kidneys filter waste from your blood and then return your blood to the rest of your body If you have a kidney infection the bacteria can spread as the kid-neys return blood to circulation

On Saturday the 21st of February I had the pleasure of

attending a drama performance entitled ldquoSistersrdquo at the Providence

University College in Otterburne MB Set in Nova Scotia ldquoSistersrdquo is

a tough uncompromising look at a convent-run Native residential

school The play was very thought-provoking not skimming over the

wrongs done through the residential schools in the slightest but telling

the story from the nunsrsquo point of view which is not heard quite as often

The religious people are often demonized in this scenario and though

they did in many if not most cases do absolutely horrific things

unfortunately they often truly believed they were doing the right thing

The point of the play was that Christian people with good intensions

can still do very horrible and damaging things in the name of God The

people who created the Residential Schools did so in the firm belief that

their culture was better than the cultures of Canadarsquos indigenous

peoples Seeing the history through the eyes of Mary left me thinking

how tough it must have been for the nuns Becoming a nun for Mary

did not go in the direction she had envisioned We did not see the

priests or the government officials who instituted and ran the schools

Unseen their controlling presence demonstrated the prejudice and

domination that poisons Mary her fellow Sisters and us This play is a

confession an opportunity to speak the truth about the past so there

may be hope for reconciliation in the future ldquoSistersrdquo reminds us to

pay attention to the things we donrsquot see and to listen for the

silences that repress curiosity and truth-telling By Debbie Kokil

Take Time

If you have never stood in awe

with sleep still in your eyes

And beheld the blazing glory

when at dawn the sun does rise

If you have never walked upon the grass

when wet with dew

And caught the shimmering sparkle

of the lights of pearly hue

Take Time

If you have never paused to hear

the robins as they sing

You know yoursquove missed the message

that has heralded the spring

And if yoursquove never watched a rose

itrsquos beauty to unfold

Yoursquove really missed a miracle

a wonder to behold

Take Time

Have you ever watched the raindrops

as to earth they gently fall

Without their healing magic

there would be no life at all

Have you ever on a summerrsquos day

given thanks for cooling breeze

As it rustles through the branches

of the tall and shady trees

Take Time

Have you ever stood as though transfixed

to wish upon a star

And felt their very nearness

although they shone so far

Have you ever paused to listen

to the drove of bumble bees

Or wished that you might be as free

To soar about at ease

An unwary bug to take

Take Time

Have you watched a furry caterpillar

wriggle through the grass

Or sensed a hiding cricket set

in silence as you pass

See the beauty of a water lily

floating on the lake

Where a bullfrog rests at leisure

Take Time

Have you listened to music

of a gurgling creek in spring

Or watched the beauteous butterfly

flit by on silken wing

Just to watch the fluffy snowflakes

as they flutter down to earth

Like diamonds in their sparkle

but to us have much more worth

Take Time

Have you ever watched the glorious sunset

as it nestles in the West

Bringing end to daily duties

beckons all the earth to rest

If yoursquove never paused to wonder

as such thins there are so many

Then you have missed so much in life

that doesnrsquot cost a penny

Take Time

Submitted by Paradise Resident Barb Prior

Many people worry about becoming more forgetful fearing it is the first sign of Alzheimers disease

In the past memory loss and confusion were considered a normal part of aging However scientists now

recognize that most people remain both alert and able as they age although it may take longer to remember

things

A lot of people experience memory lapses Some memory problems are serious and others are

not People with serious changes in memory personality and behavior may suffer from a form of brain

disease called Dementia Dementia affects a persons ability to carry out activities of daily living

Dementia is not part of aging

Some Causes of Dementia

- Adverse reaction to medication - Vision andor hearing problems

- Poor nutrition leading to nutritional imbalances and Vitamin deficiency - Minor head injuries

- Infections - Diabetes - Renal disease - Thyroid disease

With accurate diagnosis comes help and management

Symptoms of Dementia

- Asking the same question repeatedly - Becoming lost in familiar places

- Being unable to follow directions - Being disorientated about time people and places

- Neglecting hygiene nutrition or safety

21

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

The two most common forms of Dementia are Alzheimers disease and Vascular dementia

These two at the present are irreversible

In Alzheimers disease nerve cells change in certain parts of the brain resulting in the death of a large

number of brain cells As the disease progresses symptoms led to serious impairment in thinking judgement

and performance of daily activities

Vascular disease is caused by a series of strokes or changes in the blood supply to the brain resulting

in death of brain tissue The location and severity of the strokes determine the seriousness of the impairment

Symptoms begin abruptly and there is no way to reverse the damage caused by the stroke Treatment to

prevent further strokes is very important

Diagnosis of Dementia includes a complete medical history past and present prescriptions and over

the counter medications diet and general health The doctor will perform blood and urine tests as well as

problem solving and memory testing Because correct diagnosis depends on recalling details it would be

prudent to ask a family member to accompany you to the appointment

Treatment involves helping patients and there families to cope with the irreversible aspects of the

disease People with early and middle stages of Alzheimers can be treated with medications to delay the

worsening of some of the symptoms

For Vascular disease dementia it is important to prevent further strokes by controlling hypertension

treating high cholesterol controlling diabetes and refraining from smoking

Medication to reduce anxiety agitation depression or sleeping problems may be prescribed

Scientists are working to develop new drugs that someday may slow reverse or prevent Dementia

In the Feb 11 2015 Winnipeg Free Press there is an article regarding stroke cure which involves extracting

clots from the arteries they block This results in lower number of deaths and improved post stroke quality of

life

People with no Dementia should strive to keep there memory sharp Develop or remain involved in

activities that stimulate your mind and body Limit the use of alcohol because heavy drinking overtime can

cause permanent brain damage Take advantage of activities available here in the village such as cards

dancing books puzzles shuffle board and the pool or exercise equipment to socialize and activate your

mind and decrease depression Video and computer games are also great at keeping your mind sharp

regardless of what we told our children and grandchildren as they spent countless hours playing their games

These games stimulate the mind to make split second decisions and improves eye-hand co-ordination

Physical and mental changes occur with age in healthy people However much pain and suffering

can be avoided if the elderly their families and their doctor recognize that Dementia is a disease and not

part of normal aging

Last month I asked if you would be interested in South Beach trips every 2nd month and the answer was YES I had

suggested March 3031 for the next trip but found out those days are booked I am told that I have to book a long time

in advance to get the dates we want for the hotel and buses as both are very busy in the coming months

April 2324th

has been booked for the next trip Please contact me ASAP

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 me for more details

Tentative dates Aug 45 amp Aug 1112 2015

I have booked two dates due to the fact a lot of people want to go both weeks but I have not received confirmation at

time of writing I need a lot more people to sign up to make two weeks work I suspect there are some snowbirds that

are away right now who will want to go so if you are in touch with them check to see if they are interested and let me

know We should have one bus for sure I will have to act on this in the next month or so as deposits are needed for

everything early This is an amazing deal an $8500 per person

Panama Cruise

We left Fort Lauderdale FL November 28th aboard the MS Zuiderdam for a ten day Panama cruise Ports of call included Half Moon Cay Bahamas Oranjestad Aruba Willemstad Curacao Colon Panama and Limon Costa Rica Highlights included going through the Panama Canal visiting the Embera Village in Panama via dugout canoe and a pontoon boat river tour in Costa Rica Weather was great all in all we had a wonderful time Larry amp Carole Trush

The Panama Canal connects the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans It is a 48 mile canal that is important for international

maritime trade Construction of the canal began in 1881 by France but there were engineering problems and too

many people were dying due to disease Construction stopped until the US took over in 1904 They took 10 years to

complete the canal The canal allowed ships to travel between the two oceans more safely and in half the time

In 1999 the Panamanian government took control of the canal The Panama Canal is one of the Seven Wonders of the

Modern World

Everyone has a story It may concern a career a hobby an achievement an experience etc etc In the PVRA 2015 newsletters we would like to profile residents of Paradise Village If you know of anyone you would like to see profiled call me at 204-422-5712 and I will try to arrange for an interview Larry Menec and the PVRA Newsletter

After learning of George Coyles varied life experiences I thought jockey of all trades might be an

appropriate descriptor In addition to racing horses he was involved in car racing motorcycle racing boxing served

in the British Navy and worked as an Electrician

At the age of 14 George worked in racing stables as a stable hand and exercise person He raced horses as an

amateur until age 17 He then moved to Wales where he trained horses for fox hunting

At the age 18 George joined the British Navy and served on the aircraft carrier The Implacable He trained

as a rigger and worked on aircraft frames When George became involved in boxing he found a lot of competition

among the 2200 men on the ship He recalls that in his first fight he walked into a right hand thrown by a Scotsman

and was knocked out within 30 seconds Things improved considerably and George was soon winning regularly

He went to Kent on leave and met Joyce They soon married a marriage they are proud to say has lasted 62

years They later moved to Essex also in England where George became employed as an electrician with the Ford

Motor Company During that time he raced motorcycles and cars throughout England

George and Joyce moved to Canada in the early 1970s They first settled in Shoal Lake MB where George

worked as an electrician a profession he continued to work at when they moved to Winnipeg this time at St Josephs

personal care home They moved to Paradise Village in the early 1990s and George retired several years later

When asked about memorable experiences George told the story of 2 sisters with the surname Coyle who

were involved in the murder of 8 British soldiers in Northern Ireland George was detained by police in London when

he was overheard using the name Coyle He was held for several hours and nearly missed the start of their holiday

There were humorous experiences When on holidays in Mauritius they met a Chinese bookmaker When

George mentioned that Joyce was a psychic the bookmaker asked her to pick the race winners She correctly picked

the winners and the bookmaker made a lot of money This information soon spread and Joyce had to lock herself in a

washroom to escape the crowd

On their return from Mauritius their granddaughter went missing during the flight She was found on the

second floor of the jumbo jet in deep conversation with Engelbert Humperdinck

When asked about a bucket list George ever the adventurer says he would like to skydive That would be the

icing on an interesting cake

Potatoes Well a Girl Potato and Boy Potato had eyes for each other and got married and had a little Sweet Potato which they called Yam Of course they wanted the best for Yam When it was time they told her about the facts of life They warned her about going out and getting Half-baked so she

wouldnt get accidentally Mashed and get a bad name for herself like Hot Potato and end up with a bunch of Tater Tots Yam said not to worry no Spud would get her into the sack and make a Rotten Potato out of her But on the other hand she wouldnt stay home and become a Couch

Potato either She would get plenty of exercise so as not to be skinny like her Shoestring Cousins When she went off to Europe Mr and Mrs Potato told Yam to watch out for the

Hard-Boiled guys from Ireland the Greasy guys from France called the French Fries and when she went out west to watch out for the Indians so she wouldnt get scalloped Yam said she

would stay on the straight and narrow and wouldnt associate with those high class Yukon Golds or the ones from the Other Side of the tracks who advertise their trade on all the trucks that say

Frito Lay Mr and Mrs Potato sent Yam to Idaho P U (thats Potato University) so that when she graduated shed really Be In the Chips But in spite of all they did for her one day Yam came

home and announced she was going to marry Peter Mansbridge Yes Peter Mansbridge

Mr and Mrs Potato were very upset They told Yam she couldnt possibly marry

Peter Mansbridge because hes just

Kidney Infection

The kidneys are a pair of bean-shaped organs found along the posterior wall of the abdominal

cavity The left kidney is located slightly higher than the right kidney because the right side of the

liver is much larger than the left side The kidneys unlike the other organs of the abdominal cavity

are located posterior to the peritoneum and touch the muscles of the back The kidneys are

surrounded by a layer of adipose that holds them in place and protects them from physical

damage The kidneys filter metabolic wastes excess ions and chemicals from the blood to form

urine

Kidney infection (pyelonephritis) is a specific type of urinary tract infection (UTI) that generally begins in your urethra or bladder and travels up into your kidneys

A kidney infection requires prompt medical attention If not treated properly a kidney infection can permanently damage your kidneys or the bacteria can spread to your bloodstream and cause a life-threatening infection

Kidney infection treatment usually includes antibiotics and often requires hospitalization

Signs and symptoms of a kidney infection may include

bullFever bullBack side (flank) or groin pain bullAbdominal pain bullFrequent urination bullStrong persistent urge to urinate

bullBurning sensation or pain when urinating bullPus or blood in your urine (hematuria)

bullUrine that smells bad or is cloudy

When to see a doctor

Make an appointment with your doctor if you have any signs or symptoms that worry you Also make an appointment if youre being treated for a urinary tract infection but your signs and symp-toms arent improving

Severe kidney infection can lead to life-threatening complications Seek immediate medical atten-tion if you experience typical kidney infection symptoms combined with bloody urine or nausea and vomiting

If left untreated a kidney infection can lead to potentially serious complications such as

bullPermanent kidney damage Permanent kidney damage can lead to chronic kidney disease

bullBlood poisoning (septicemia) Your kidneys filter waste from your blood and then return your blood to the rest of your body If you have a kidney infection the bacteria can spread as the kid-neys return blood to circulation

On Saturday the 21st of February I had the pleasure of

attending a drama performance entitled ldquoSistersrdquo at the Providence

University College in Otterburne MB Set in Nova Scotia ldquoSistersrdquo is

a tough uncompromising look at a convent-run Native residential

school The play was very thought-provoking not skimming over the

wrongs done through the residential schools in the slightest but telling

the story from the nunsrsquo point of view which is not heard quite as often

The religious people are often demonized in this scenario and though

they did in many if not most cases do absolutely horrific things

unfortunately they often truly believed they were doing the right thing

The point of the play was that Christian people with good intensions

can still do very horrible and damaging things in the name of God The

people who created the Residential Schools did so in the firm belief that

their culture was better than the cultures of Canadarsquos indigenous

peoples Seeing the history through the eyes of Mary left me thinking

how tough it must have been for the nuns Becoming a nun for Mary

did not go in the direction she had envisioned We did not see the

priests or the government officials who instituted and ran the schools

Unseen their controlling presence demonstrated the prejudice and

domination that poisons Mary her fellow Sisters and us This play is a

confession an opportunity to speak the truth about the past so there

may be hope for reconciliation in the future ldquoSistersrdquo reminds us to

pay attention to the things we donrsquot see and to listen for the

silences that repress curiosity and truth-telling By Debbie Kokil

Take Time

If you have never stood in awe

with sleep still in your eyes

And beheld the blazing glory

when at dawn the sun does rise

If you have never walked upon the grass

when wet with dew

And caught the shimmering sparkle

of the lights of pearly hue

Take Time

If you have never paused to hear

the robins as they sing

You know yoursquove missed the message

that has heralded the spring

And if yoursquove never watched a rose

itrsquos beauty to unfold

Yoursquove really missed a miracle

a wonder to behold

Take Time

Have you ever watched the raindrops

as to earth they gently fall

Without their healing magic

there would be no life at all

Have you ever on a summerrsquos day

given thanks for cooling breeze

As it rustles through the branches

of the tall and shady trees

Take Time

Have you ever stood as though transfixed

to wish upon a star

And felt their very nearness

although they shone so far

Have you ever paused to listen

to the drove of bumble bees

Or wished that you might be as free

To soar about at ease

An unwary bug to take

Take Time

Have you watched a furry caterpillar

wriggle through the grass

Or sensed a hiding cricket set

in silence as you pass

See the beauty of a water lily

floating on the lake

Where a bullfrog rests at leisure

Take Time

Have you listened to music

of a gurgling creek in spring

Or watched the beauteous butterfly

flit by on silken wing

Just to watch the fluffy snowflakes

as they flutter down to earth

Like diamonds in their sparkle

but to us have much more worth

Take Time

Have you ever watched the glorious sunset

as it nestles in the West

Bringing end to daily duties

beckons all the earth to rest

If yoursquove never paused to wonder

as such thins there are so many

Then you have missed so much in life

that doesnrsquot cost a penny

Take Time

Many people worry about becoming more forgetful fearing it is the first sign of Alzheimers disease

In the past memory loss and confusion were considered a normal part of aging However scientists now

recognize that most people remain both alert and able as they age although it may take longer to remember

things

A lot of people experience memory lapses Some memory problems are serious and others are

not People with serious changes in memory personality and behavior may suffer from a form of brain

disease called Dementia Dementia affects a persons ability to carry out activities of daily living

Dementia is not part of aging

Some Causes of Dementia

- Adverse reaction to medication - Vision andor hearing problems

- Poor nutrition leading to nutritional imbalances and Vitamin deficiency - Minor head injuries

- Infections - Diabetes - Renal disease - Thyroid disease

With accurate diagnosis comes help and management

Symptoms of Dementia

- Asking the same question repeatedly - Becoming lost in familiar places

- Being unable to follow directions - Being disorientated about time people and places

- Neglecting hygiene nutrition or safety

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

The two most common forms of Dementia are Alzheimers disease and Vascular dementia

These two at the present are irreversible

In Alzheimers disease nerve cells change in certain parts of the brain resulting in the death of a large

number of brain cells As the disease progresses symptoms led to serious impairment in thinking judgement

and performance of daily activities

Vascular disease is caused by a series of strokes or changes in the blood supply to the brain resulting

in death of brain tissue The location and severity of the strokes determine the seriousness of the impairment

Symptoms begin abruptly and there is no way to reverse the damage caused by the stroke Treatment to

prevent further strokes is very important

Diagnosis of Dementia includes a complete medical history past and present prescriptions and over

the counter medications diet and general health The doctor will perform blood and urine tests as well as

problem solving and memory testing Because correct diagnosis depends on recalling details it would be

prudent to ask a family member to accompany you to the appointment

Treatment involves helping patients and there families to cope with the irreversible aspects of the

disease People with early and middle stages of Alzheimers can be treated with medications to delay the

worsening of some of the symptoms

For Vascular disease dementia it is important to prevent further strokes by controlling hypertension

treating high cholesterol controlling diabetes and refraining from smoking

Medication to reduce anxiety agitation depression or sleeping problems may be prescribed

Scientists are working to develop new drugs that someday may slow reverse or prevent Dementia

In the Feb 11 2015 Winnipeg Free Press there is an article regarding stroke cure which involves extracting

clots from the arteries they block This results in lower number of deaths and improved post stroke quality of

life

People with no Dementia should strive to keep there memory sharp Develop or remain involved in

activities that stimulate your mind and body Limit the use of alcohol because heavy drinking overtime can

cause permanent brain damage Take advantage of activities available here in the village such as cards

dancing books puzzles shuffle board and the pool or exercise equipment to socialize and activate your

mind and decrease depression Video and computer games are also great at keeping your mind sharp

regardless of what we told our children and grandchildren as they spent countless hours playing their games

These games stimulate the mind to make split second decisions and improves eye-hand co-ordination

Physical and mental changes occur with age in healthy people However much pain and suffering

can be avoided if the elderly their families and their doctor recognize that Dementia is a disease and not

part of normal aging

Panama Cruise

We left Fort Lauderdale FL November 28th aboard the MS Zuiderdam for a ten day Panama cruise Ports of call included Half Moon Cay Bahamas Oranjestad Aruba Willemstad Curacao Colon Panama and Limon Costa Rica Highlights included going through the Panama Canal visiting the Embera Village in Panama via dugout canoe and a pontoon boat river tour in Costa Rica Weather was great all in all we had a wonderful time Larry amp Carole Trush

The Panama Canal connects the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans It is a 48 mile canal that is important for international

maritime trade Construction of the canal began in 1881 by France but there were engineering problems and too

many people were dying due to disease Construction stopped until the US took over in 1904 They took 10 years to

complete the canal The canal allowed ships to travel between the two oceans more safely and in half the time

In 1999 the Panamanian government took control of the canal The Panama Canal is one of the Seven Wonders of the

Modern World

Everyone has a story It may concern a career a hobby an achievement an experience etc etc In the PVRA 2015 newsletters we would like to profile residents of Paradise Village If you know of anyone you would like to see profiled call me at 204-422-5712 and I will try to arrange for an interview Larry Menec and the PVRA Newsletter

After learning of George Coyles varied life experiences I thought jockey of all trades might be an

appropriate descriptor In addition to racing horses he was involved in car racing motorcycle racing boxing served

in the British Navy and worked as an Electrician

At the age of 14 George worked in racing stables as a stable hand and exercise person He raced horses as an

amateur until age 17 He then moved to Wales where he trained horses for fox hunting

At the age 18 George joined the British Navy and served on the aircraft carrier The Implacable He trained

as a rigger and worked on aircraft frames When George became involved in boxing he found a lot of competition

among the 2200 men on the ship He recalls that in his first fight he walked into a right hand thrown by a Scotsman

and was knocked out within 30 seconds Things improved considerably and George was soon winning regularly

He went to Kent on leave and met Joyce They soon married a marriage they are proud to say has lasted 62

years They later moved to Essex also in England where George became employed as an electrician with the Ford

Motor Company During that time he raced motorcycles and cars throughout England

George and Joyce moved to Canada in the early 1970s They first settled in Shoal Lake MB where George

worked as an electrician a profession he continued to work at when they moved to Winnipeg this time at St Josephs

personal care home They moved to Paradise Village in the early 1990s and George retired several years later

When asked about memorable experiences George told the story of 2 sisters with the surname Coyle who

were involved in the murder of 8 British soldiers in Northern Ireland George was detained by police in London when

he was overheard using the name Coyle He was held for several hours and nearly missed the start of their holiday

There were humorous experiences When on holidays in Mauritius they met a Chinese bookmaker When

George mentioned that Joyce was a psychic the bookmaker asked her to pick the race winners She correctly picked

the winners and the bookmaker made a lot of money This information soon spread and Joyce had to lock herself in a

washroom to escape the crowd

On their return from Mauritius their granddaughter went missing during the flight She was found on the

second floor of the jumbo jet in deep conversation with Engelbert Humperdinck

When asked about a bucket list George ever the adventurer says he would like to skydive That would be the

icing on an interesting cake

wouldnt get accidentally Mashed and get a bad name for herself like Hot Potato and end up with a bunch of Tater Tots Yam said not to worry no Spud would get her into the sack and make a Rotten Potato out of her But on the other hand she wouldnt stay home and become a Couch

Potato either She would get plenty of exercise so as not to be skinny like her Shoestring Cousins When she went off to Europe Mr and Mrs Potato told Yam to watch out for the

Hard-Boiled guys from Ireland the Greasy guys from France called the French Fries and when she went out west to watch out for the Indians so she wouldnt get scalloped Yam said she

would stay on the straight and narrow and wouldnt associate with those high class Yukon Golds or the ones from the Other Side of the tracks who advertise their trade on all the trucks that say

Frito Lay Mr and Mrs Potato sent Yam to Idaho P U (thats Potato University) so that when she graduated shed really Be In the Chips But in spite of all they did for her one day Yam came

Kidney Infection

The kidneys are a pair of bean-shaped organs found along the posterior wall of the abdominal

cavity The left kidney is located slightly higher than the right kidney because the right side of the

liver is much larger than the left side The kidneys unlike the other organs of the abdominal cavity

are located posterior to the peritoneum and touch the muscles of the back The kidneys are

surrounded by a layer of adipose that holds them in place and protects them from physical

damage The kidneys filter metabolic wastes excess ions and chemicals from the blood to form

urine

Kidney infection (pyelonephritis) is a specific type of urinary tract infection (UTI) that generally begins in your urethra or bladder and travels up into your kidneys

A kidney infection requires prompt medical attention If not treated properly a kidney infection can permanently damage your kidneys or the bacteria can spread to your bloodstream and cause a life-threatening infection

Kidney infection treatment usually includes antibiotics and often requires hospitalization

Signs and symptoms of a kidney infection may include

bullFever bullBack side (flank) or groin pain bullAbdominal pain bullFrequent urination bullStrong persistent urge to urinate

bullBurning sensation or pain when urinating bullPus or blood in your urine (hematuria)

bullUrine that smells bad or is cloudy

When to see a doctor

Make an appointment with your doctor if you have any signs or symptoms that worry you Also make an appointment if youre being treated for a urinary tract infection but your signs and symp-toms arent improving

Severe kidney infection can lead to life-threatening complications Seek immediate medical atten-tion if you experience typical kidney infection symptoms combined with bloody urine or nausea and vomiting

If left untreated a kidney infection can lead to potentially serious complications such as

bullPermanent kidney damage Permanent kidney damage can lead to chronic kidney disease

bullBlood poisoning (septicemia) Your kidneys filter waste from your blood and then return your blood to the rest of your body If you have a kidney infection the bacteria can spread as the kid-neys return blood to circulation

On Saturday the 21st of February I had the pleasure of

attending a drama performance entitled ldquoSistersrdquo at the Providence

University College in Otterburne MB Set in Nova Scotia ldquoSistersrdquo is

a tough uncompromising look at a convent-run Native residential

school The play was very thought-provoking not skimming over the

wrongs done through the residential schools in the slightest but telling

the story from the nunsrsquo point of view which is not heard quite as often

The religious people are often demonized in this scenario and though

they did in many if not most cases do absolutely horrific things

unfortunately they often truly believed they were doing the right thing

The point of the play was that Christian people with good intensions

can still do very horrible and damaging things in the name of God The

people who created the Residential Schools did so in the firm belief that

their culture was better than the cultures of Canadarsquos indigenous

peoples Seeing the history through the eyes of Mary left me thinking

how tough it must have been for the nuns Becoming a nun for Mary

did not go in the direction she had envisioned We did not see the

priests or the government officials who instituted and ran the schools

Unseen their controlling presence demonstrated the prejudice and

domination that poisons Mary her fellow Sisters and us This play is a

confession an opportunity to speak the truth about the past so there

may be hope for reconciliation in the future ldquoSistersrdquo reminds us to

pay attention to the things we donrsquot see and to listen for the

silences that repress curiosity and truth-telling By Debbie Kokil

Take Time

If you have never stood in awe

with sleep still in your eyes

And beheld the blazing glory

when at dawn the sun does rise

If you have never walked upon the grass

when wet with dew

And caught the shimmering sparkle

of the lights of pearly hue

Take Time

If you have never paused to hear

the robins as they sing

You know yoursquove missed the message

that has heralded the spring

And if yoursquove never watched a rose

itrsquos beauty to unfold

Yoursquove really missed a miracle

a wonder to behold

Take Time

Have you ever watched the raindrops

as to earth they gently fall

Without their healing magic

there would be no life at all

Have you ever on a summerrsquos day

given thanks for cooling breeze

As it rustles through the branches

of the tall and shady trees

Take Time

Have you ever stood as though transfixed

to wish upon a star

And felt their very nearness

although they shone so far

Have you ever paused to listen

to the drove of bumble bees

Or wished that you might be as free

To soar about at ease

An unwary bug to take

Take Time

Have you watched a furry caterpillar

wriggle through the grass

Or sensed a hiding cricket set

in silence as you pass

See the beauty of a water lily

floating on the lake

Where a bullfrog rests at leisure

Take Time

Have you listened to music

of a gurgling creek in spring

Or watched the beauteous butterfly

flit by on silken wing

Just to watch the fluffy snowflakes

as they flutter down to earth

Like diamonds in their sparkle

but to us have much more worth

Take Time

Have you ever watched the glorious sunset

as it nestles in the West

Bringing end to daily duties

beckons all the earth to rest

If yoursquove never paused to wonder

as such thins there are so many

Then you have missed so much in life

that doesnrsquot cost a penny

Submitted by Paradise Resident Barb Prior

Many people worry about becoming more forgetful fearing it is the first sign of Alzheimers disease

In the past memory loss and confusion were considered a normal part of aging However scientists now

recognize that most people remain both alert and able as they age although it may take longer to remember

things

A lot of people experience memory lapses Some memory problems are serious and others are

not People with serious changes in memory personality and behavior may suffer from a form of brain

disease called Dementia Dementia affects a persons ability to carry out activities of daily living

Dementia is not part of aging

Some Causes of Dementia

- Adverse reaction to medication - Vision andor hearing problems

- Poor nutrition leading to nutritional imbalances and Vitamin deficiency - Minor head injuries

- Infections - Diabetes - Renal disease - Thyroid disease

With accurate diagnosis comes help and management

Symptoms of Dementia

- Asking the same question repeatedly - Becoming lost in familiar places

- Being unable to follow directions - Being disorientated about time people and places

- Neglecting hygiene nutrition or safety

21

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

The two most common forms of Dementia are Alzheimers disease and Vascular dementia

These two at the present are irreversible

In Alzheimers disease nerve cells change in certain parts of the brain resulting in the death of a large

number of brain cells As the disease progresses symptoms led to serious impairment in thinking judgement

and performance of daily activities

Vascular disease is caused by a series of strokes or changes in the blood supply to the brain resulting

in death of brain tissue The location and severity of the strokes determine the seriousness of the impairment

Symptoms begin abruptly and there is no way to reverse the damage caused by the stroke Treatment to

prevent further strokes is very important

Diagnosis of Dementia includes a complete medical history past and present prescriptions and over

the counter medications diet and general health The doctor will perform blood and urine tests as well as

problem solving and memory testing Because correct diagnosis depends on recalling details it would be

prudent to ask a family member to accompany you to the appointment

Treatment involves helping patients and there families to cope with the irreversible aspects of the

disease People with early and middle stages of Alzheimers can be treated with medications to delay the

worsening of some of the symptoms

For Vascular disease dementia it is important to prevent further strokes by controlling hypertension

treating high cholesterol controlling diabetes and refraining from smoking

Medication to reduce anxiety agitation depression or sleeping problems may be prescribed

Scientists are working to develop new drugs that someday may slow reverse or prevent Dementia

In the Feb 11 2015 Winnipeg Free Press there is an article regarding stroke cure which involves extracting

clots from the arteries they block This results in lower number of deaths and improved post stroke quality of

life

People with no Dementia should strive to keep there memory sharp Develop or remain involved in

activities that stimulate your mind and body Limit the use of alcohol because heavy drinking overtime can

cause permanent brain damage Take advantage of activities available here in the village such as cards

dancing books puzzles shuffle board and the pool or exercise equipment to socialize and activate your

mind and decrease depression Video and computer games are also great at keeping your mind sharp

regardless of what we told our children and grandchildren as they spent countless hours playing their games

These games stimulate the mind to make split second decisions and improves eye-hand co-ordination

Physical and mental changes occur with age in healthy people However much pain and suffering

can be avoided if the elderly their families and their doctor recognize that Dementia is a disease and not

part of normal aging

Panama Cruise

We left Fort Lauderdale FL November 28th aboard the MS Zuiderdam for a ten day Panama cruise Ports of call included Half Moon Cay Bahamas Oranjestad Aruba Willemstad Curacao Colon Panama and Limon Costa Rica Highlights included going through the Panama Canal visiting the Embera Village in Panama via dugout canoe and a pontoon boat river tour in Costa Rica Weather was great all in all we had a wonderful time Larry amp Carole Trush

The Panama Canal connects the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans It is a 48 mile canal that is important for international

maritime trade Construction of the canal began in 1881 by France but there were engineering problems and too

many people were dying due to disease Construction stopped until the US took over in 1904 They took 10 years to

complete the canal The canal allowed ships to travel between the two oceans more safely and in half the time

In 1999 the Panamanian government took control of the canal The Panama Canal is one of the Seven Wonders of the

Modern World

After learning of George Coyles varied life experiences I thought jockey of all trades might be an

appropriate descriptor In addition to racing horses he was involved in car racing motorcycle racing boxing served

in the British Navy and worked as an Electrician

At the age of 14 George worked in racing stables as a stable hand and exercise person He raced horses as an

amateur until age 17 He then moved to Wales where he trained horses for fox hunting

At the age 18 George joined the British Navy and served on the aircraft carrier The Implacable He trained

as a rigger and worked on aircraft frames When George became involved in boxing he found a lot of competition

among the 2200 men on the ship He recalls that in his first fight he walked into a right hand thrown by a Scotsman

and was knocked out within 30 seconds Things improved considerably and George was soon winning regularly

He went to Kent on leave and met Joyce They soon married a marriage they are proud to say has lasted 62

years They later moved to Essex also in England where George became employed as an electrician with the Ford

Motor Company During that time he raced motorcycles and cars throughout England

George and Joyce moved to Canada in the early 1970s They first settled in Shoal Lake MB where George

worked as an electrician a profession he continued to work at when they moved to Winnipeg this time at St Josephs

personal care home They moved to Paradise Village in the early 1990s and George retired several years later

When asked about memorable experiences George told the story of 2 sisters with the surname Coyle who

were involved in the murder of 8 British soldiers in Northern Ireland George was detained by police in London when

he was overheard using the name Coyle He was held for several hours and nearly missed the start of their holiday

There were humorous experiences When on holidays in Mauritius they met a Chinese bookmaker When

George mentioned that Joyce was a psychic the bookmaker asked her to pick the race winners She correctly picked

the winners and the bookmaker made a lot of money This information soon spread and Joyce had to lock herself in a

washroom to escape the crowd

On their return from Mauritius their granddaughter went missing during the flight She was found on the

second floor of the jumbo jet in deep conversation with Engelbert Humperdinck

When asked about a bucket list George ever the adventurer says he would like to skydive That would be the

icing on an interesting cake

wouldnt get accidentally Mashed and get a bad name for herself like Hot Potato and end up with a bunch of Tater Tots Yam said not to worry no Spud would get her into the sack and make a Rotten Potato out of her But on the other hand she wouldnt stay home and become a Couch

Potato either She would get plenty of exercise so as not to be skinny like her Shoestring Cousins When she went off to Europe Mr and Mrs Potato told Yam to watch out for the

Hard-Boiled guys from Ireland the Greasy guys from France called the French Fries and when she went out west to watch out for the Indians so she wouldnt get scalloped Yam said she

would stay on the straight and narrow and wouldnt associate with those high class Yukon Golds or the ones from the Other Side of the tracks who advertise their trade on all the trucks that say

Frito Lay Mr and Mrs Potato sent Yam to Idaho P U (thats Potato University) so that when she graduated shed really Be In the Chips But in spite of all they did for her one day Yam came

Kidney Infection

The kidneys are a pair of bean-shaped organs found along the posterior wall of the abdominal

cavity The left kidney is located slightly higher than the right kidney because the right side of the

liver is much larger than the left side The kidneys unlike the other organs of the abdominal cavity

are located posterior to the peritoneum and touch the muscles of the back The kidneys are

surrounded by a layer of adipose that holds them in place and protects them from physical

damage The kidneys filter metabolic wastes excess ions and chemicals from the blood to form

urine

Kidney infection (pyelonephritis) is a specific type of urinary tract infection (UTI) that generally begins in your urethra or bladder and travels up into your kidneys

A kidney infection requires prompt medical attention If not treated properly a kidney infection can permanently damage your kidneys or the bacteria can spread to your bloodstream and cause a life-threatening infection

Kidney infection treatment usually includes antibiotics and often requires hospitalization

Signs and symptoms of a kidney infection may include

bullFever bullBack side (flank) or groin pain bullAbdominal pain bullFrequent urination bullStrong persistent urge to urinate

bullBurning sensation or pain when urinating bullPus or blood in your urine (hematuria)

bullUrine that smells bad or is cloudy

When to see a doctor

Make an appointment with your doctor if you have any signs or symptoms that worry you Also make an appointment if youre being treated for a urinary tract infection but your signs and symp-toms arent improving

Severe kidney infection can lead to life-threatening complications Seek immediate medical atten-tion if you experience typical kidney infection symptoms combined with bloody urine or nausea and vomiting

If left untreated a kidney infection can lead to potentially serious complications such as

bullPermanent kidney damage Permanent kidney damage can lead to chronic kidney disease

bullBlood poisoning (septicemia) Your kidneys filter waste from your blood and then return your blood to the rest of your body If you have a kidney infection the bacteria can spread as the kid-neys return blood to circulation

On Saturday the 21st of February I had the pleasure of

attending a drama performance entitled ldquoSistersrdquo at the Providence

University College in Otterburne MB Set in Nova Scotia ldquoSistersrdquo is

a tough uncompromising look at a convent-run Native residential

school The play was very thought-provoking not skimming over the

wrongs done through the residential schools in the slightest but telling

the story from the nunsrsquo point of view which is not heard quite as often

The religious people are often demonized in this scenario and though

they did in many if not most cases do absolutely horrific things

unfortunately they often truly believed they were doing the right thing

The point of the play was that Christian people with good intensions

can still do very horrible and damaging things in the name of God The

people who created the Residential Schools did so in the firm belief that

their culture was better than the cultures of Canadarsquos indigenous

peoples Seeing the history through the eyes of Mary left me thinking

how tough it must have been for the nuns Becoming a nun for Mary

did not go in the direction she had envisioned We did not see the

priests or the government officials who instituted and ran the schools

Unseen their controlling presence demonstrated the prejudice and

domination that poisons Mary her fellow Sisters and us This play is a

confession an opportunity to speak the truth about the past so there

may be hope for reconciliation in the future ldquoSistersrdquo reminds us to

pay attention to the things we donrsquot see and to listen for the

silences that repress curiosity and truth-telling By Debbie Kokil

Take Time

If you have never stood in awe

with sleep still in your eyes

And beheld the blazing glory

when at dawn the sun does rise

If you have never walked upon the grass

when wet with dew

And caught the shimmering sparkle

of the lights of pearly hue

Take Time

If you have never paused to hear

the robins as they sing

You know yoursquove missed the message

that has heralded the spring

And if yoursquove never watched a rose

itrsquos beauty to unfold

Yoursquove really missed a miracle

a wonder to behold

Take Time

Have you ever watched the raindrops

as to earth they gently fall

Without their healing magic

there would be no life at all

Have you ever on a summerrsquos day

given thanks for cooling breeze

As it rustles through the branches

of the tall and shady trees

Take Time

Have you ever stood as though transfixed

to wish upon a star

And felt their very nearness

although they shone so far

Have you ever paused to listen

to the drove of bumble bees

Or wished that you might be as free

To soar about at ease

An unwary bug to take

Take Time

Have you watched a furry caterpillar

wriggle through the grass

Or sensed a hiding cricket set

in silence as you pass

See the beauty of a water lily

floating on the lake

Where a bullfrog rests at leisure

Take Time

Have you listened to music

of a gurgling creek in spring

Or watched the beauteous butterfly

flit by on silken wing

Just to watch the fluffy snowflakes

as they flutter down to earth

Like diamonds in their sparkle

but to us have much more worth

Take Time

Have you ever watched the glorious sunset

as it nestles in the West

Bringing end to daily duties

beckons all the earth to rest

If yoursquove never paused to wonder

as such thins there are so many

Then you have missed so much in life

that doesnrsquot cost a penny

Take Time

Submitted by Paradise Resident Barb Prior

Many people worry about becoming more forgetful fearing it is the first sign of Alzheimers disease

In the past memory loss and confusion were considered a normal part of aging However scientists now

recognize that most people remain both alert and able as they age although it may take longer to remember

things

A lot of people experience memory lapses Some memory problems are serious and others are

not People with serious changes in memory personality and behavior may suffer from a form of brain

disease called Dementia Dementia affects a persons ability to carry out activities of daily living

Dementia is not part of aging

Some Causes of Dementia

- Adverse reaction to medication - Vision andor hearing problems

- Poor nutrition leading to nutritional imbalances and Vitamin deficiency - Minor head injuries

- Infections - Diabetes - Renal disease - Thyroid disease

With accurate diagnosis comes help and management

Symptoms of Dementia

- Asking the same question repeatedly - Becoming lost in familiar places

- Being unable to follow directions - Being disorientated about time people and places

- Neglecting hygiene nutrition or safety

21

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

The two most common forms of Dementia are Alzheimers disease and Vascular dementia

These two at the present are irreversible

In Alzheimers disease nerve cells change in certain parts of the brain resulting in the death of a large

number of brain cells As the disease progresses symptoms led to serious impairment in thinking judgement

and performance of daily activities

Vascular disease is caused by a series of strokes or changes in the blood supply to the brain resulting

in death of brain tissue The location and severity of the strokes determine the seriousness of the impairment

Symptoms begin abruptly and there is no way to reverse the damage caused by the stroke Treatment to

prevent further strokes is very important

Diagnosis of Dementia includes a complete medical history past and present prescriptions and over

the counter medications diet and general health The doctor will perform blood and urine tests as well as

problem solving and memory testing Because correct diagnosis depends on recalling details it would be

prudent to ask a family member to accompany you to the appointment

Treatment involves helping patients and there families to cope with the irreversible aspects of the

disease People with early and middle stages of Alzheimers can be treated with medications to delay the

worsening of some of the symptoms

For Vascular disease dementia it is important to prevent further strokes by controlling hypertension

treating high cholesterol controlling diabetes and refraining from smoking

Medication to reduce anxiety agitation depression or sleeping problems may be prescribed

Scientists are working to develop new drugs that someday may slow reverse or prevent Dementia

In the Feb 11 2015 Winnipeg Free Press there is an article regarding stroke cure which involves extracting

clots from the arteries they block This results in lower number of deaths and improved post stroke quality of

life

People with no Dementia should strive to keep there memory sharp Develop or remain involved in

activities that stimulate your mind and body Limit the use of alcohol because heavy drinking overtime can

cause permanent brain damage Take advantage of activities available here in the village such as cards

dancing books puzzles shuffle board and the pool or exercise equipment to socialize and activate your

mind and decrease depression Video and computer games are also great at keeping your mind sharp

regardless of what we told our children and grandchildren as they spent countless hours playing their games

These games stimulate the mind to make split second decisions and improves eye-hand co-ordination

Physical and mental changes occur with age in healthy people However much pain and suffering

can be avoided if the elderly their families and their doctor recognize that Dementia is a disease and not

part of normal aging

in advance to get the dates we want for the hotel and buses as both are very busy in the coming months

April 2324th

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 me for more details

Tentative dates Aug 45 amp Aug 1112 2015

I have booked two dates due to the fact a lot of people want to go both weeks but I have not received confirmation at

time of writing I need a lot more people to sign up to make two weeks work I suspect there are some snowbirds that

are away right now who will want to go so if you are in touch with them check to see if they are interested and let me

know We should have one bus for sure I will have to act on this in the next month or so as deposits are needed for

everything early This is an amazing deal an $8500 per person

Panama Cruise

We left Fort Lauderdale FL November 28th aboard the MS Zuiderdam for a ten day Panama cruise Ports of call included Half Moon Cay Bahamas Oranjestad Aruba Willemstad Curacao Colon Panama and Limon Costa Rica Highlights included going through the Panama Canal visiting the Embera Village in Panama via dugout canoe and a pontoon boat river tour in Costa Rica Weather was great all in all we had a wonderful time Larry amp Carole Trush

The Panama Canal connects the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans It is a 48 mile canal that is important for international

maritime trade Construction of the canal began in 1881 by France but there were engineering problems and too

many people were dying due to disease Construction stopped until the US took over in 1904 They took 10 years to

complete the canal The canal allowed ships to travel between the two oceans more safely and in half the time

In 1999 the Panamanian government took control of the canal The Panama Canal is one of the Seven Wonders of the

Modern World

After learning of George Coyles varied life experiences I thought jockey of all trades might be an

appropriate descriptor In addition to racing horses he was involved in car racing motorcycle racing boxing served

in the British Navy and worked as an Electrician

At the age of 14 George worked in racing stables as a stable hand and exercise person He raced horses as an

amateur until age 17 He then moved to Wales where he trained horses for fox hunting

At the age 18 George joined the British Navy and served on the aircraft carrier The Implacable He trained

as a rigger and worked on aircraft frames When George became involved in boxing he found a lot of competition

among the 2200 men on the ship He recalls that in his first fight he walked into a right hand thrown by a Scotsman

and was knocked out within 30 seconds Things improved considerably and George was soon winning regularly

He went to Kent on leave and met Joyce They soon married a marriage they are proud to say has lasted 62

years They later moved to Essex also in England where George became employed as an electrician with the Ford

Motor Company During that time he raced motorcycles and cars throughout England

George and Joyce moved to Canada in the early 1970s They first settled in Shoal Lake MB where George

worked as an electrician a profession he continued to work at when they moved to Winnipeg this time at St Josephs

personal care home They moved to Paradise Village in the early 1990s and George retired several years later

When asked about memorable experiences George told the story of 2 sisters with the surname Coyle who

were involved in the murder of 8 British soldiers in Northern Ireland George was detained by police in London when

he was overheard using the name Coyle He was held for several hours and nearly missed the start of their holiday

There were humorous experiences When on holidays in Mauritius they met a Chinese bookmaker When

George mentioned that Joyce was a psychic the bookmaker asked her to pick the race winners She correctly picked

the winners and the bookmaker made a lot of money This information soon spread and Joyce had to lock herself in a

washroom to escape the crowd

On their return from Mauritius their granddaughter went missing during the flight She was found on the

second floor of the jumbo jet in deep conversation with Engelbert Humperdinck

When asked about a bucket list George ever the adventurer says he would like to skydive That would be the

icing on an interesting cake

Potatoes Well a Girl Potato and Boy Potato had eyes for each other and got married and had a little Sweet Potato which they called Yam Of course they wanted the best for Yam When it was time they told her about the facts of life They warned her about going out and getting Half-baked so she

wouldnt get accidentally Mashed and get a bad name for herself like Hot Potato and end up with a bunch of Tater Tots Yam said not to worry no Spud would get her into the sack and make a Rotten Potato out of her But on the other hand she wouldnt stay home and become a Couch

Potato either She would get plenty of exercise so as not to be skinny like her Shoestring Cousins When she went off to Europe Mr and Mrs Potato told Yam to watch out for the

Hard-Boiled guys from Ireland the Greasy guys from France called the French Fries and when she went out west to watch out for the Indians so she wouldnt get scalloped Yam said she

would stay on the straight and narrow and wouldnt associate with those high class Yukon Golds or the ones from the Other Side of the tracks who advertise their trade on all the trucks that say

Frito Lay Mr and Mrs Potato sent Yam to Idaho P U (thats Potato University) so that when she graduated shed really Be In the Chips But in spite of all they did for her one day Yam came

home and announced she was going to marry Peter Mansbridge Yes Peter Mansbridge

Mr and Mrs Potato were very upset They told Yam she couldnt possibly marry

Kidney Infection

The kidneys are a pair of bean-shaped organs found along the posterior wall of the abdominal

cavity The left kidney is located slightly higher than the right kidney because the right side of the

liver is much larger than the left side The kidneys unlike the other organs of the abdominal cavity

are located posterior to the peritoneum and touch the muscles of the back The kidneys are

surrounded by a layer of adipose that holds them in place and protects them from physical

damage The kidneys filter metabolic wastes excess ions and chemicals from the blood to form

urine

Kidney infection (pyelonephritis) is a specific type of urinary tract infection (UTI) that generally begins in your urethra or bladder and travels up into your kidneys

A kidney infection requires prompt medical attention If not treated properly a kidney infection can permanently damage your kidneys or the bacteria can spread to your bloodstream and cause a life-threatening infection

Kidney infection treatment usually includes antibiotics and often requires hospitalization

Signs and symptoms of a kidney infection may include

bullFever bullBack side (flank) or groin pain bullAbdominal pain bullFrequent urination bullStrong persistent urge to urinate

bullBurning sensation or pain when urinating bullPus or blood in your urine (hematuria)

bullUrine that smells bad or is cloudy

When to see a doctor

Make an appointment with your doctor if you have any signs or symptoms that worry you Also make an appointment if youre being treated for a urinary tract infection but your signs and symp-toms arent improving

Severe kidney infection can lead to life-threatening complications Seek immediate medical atten-tion if you experience typical kidney infection symptoms combined with bloody urine or nausea and vomiting

If left untreated a kidney infection can lead to potentially serious complications such as

bullPermanent kidney damage Permanent kidney damage can lead to chronic kidney disease

bullBlood poisoning (septicemia) Your kidneys filter waste from your blood and then return your blood to the rest of your body If you have a kidney infection the bacteria can spread as the kid-neys return blood to circulation

On Saturday the 21st of February I had the pleasure of

attending a drama performance entitled ldquoSistersrdquo at the Providence

University College in Otterburne MB Set in Nova Scotia ldquoSistersrdquo is

a tough uncompromising look at a convent-run Native residential

school The play was very thought-provoking not skimming over the

wrongs done through the residential schools in the slightest but telling

the story from the nunsrsquo point of view which is not heard quite as often

The religious people are often demonized in this scenario and though

they did in many if not most cases do absolutely horrific things

unfortunately they often truly believed they were doing the right thing

The point of the play was that Christian people with good intensions

can still do very horrible and damaging things in the name of God The

people who created the Residential Schools did so in the firm belief that

their culture was better than the cultures of Canadarsquos indigenous

peoples Seeing the history through the eyes of Mary left me thinking

how tough it must have been for the nuns Becoming a nun for Mary

did not go in the direction she had envisioned We did not see the

priests or the government officials who instituted and ran the schools

Unseen their controlling presence demonstrated the prejudice and

domination that poisons Mary her fellow Sisters and us This play is a

confession an opportunity to speak the truth about the past so there

may be hope for reconciliation in the future ldquoSistersrdquo reminds us to

pay attention to the things we donrsquot see and to listen for the

silences that repress curiosity and truth-telling By Debbie Kokil

Take Time

If you have never stood in awe

with sleep still in your eyes

And beheld the blazing glory

when at dawn the sun does rise

If you have never walked upon the grass

when wet with dew

And caught the shimmering sparkle

of the lights of pearly hue

Take Time

If you have never paused to hear

the robins as they sing

You know yoursquove missed the message

that has heralded the spring

And if yoursquove never watched a rose

itrsquos beauty to unfold

Yoursquove really missed a miracle

a wonder to behold

Take Time

Have you ever watched the raindrops

as to earth they gently fall

Without their healing magic

there would be no life at all

Have you ever on a summerrsquos day

given thanks for cooling breeze

As it rustles through the branches

of the tall and shady trees

Take Time

Have you ever stood as though transfixed

to wish upon a star

And felt their very nearness

although they shone so far

Have you ever paused to listen

to the drove of bumble bees

Or wished that you might be as free

To soar about at ease

An unwary bug to take

Take Time

Have you watched a furry caterpillar

wriggle through the grass

Or sensed a hiding cricket set

in silence as you pass

See the beauty of a water lily

floating on the lake

Where a bullfrog rests at leisure

Take Time

Have you listened to music

of a gurgling creek in spring

Or watched the beauteous butterfly

flit by on silken wing

Just to watch the fluffy snowflakes

as they flutter down to earth

Like diamonds in their sparkle

but to us have much more worth

Take Time

Have you ever watched the glorious sunset

as it nestles in the West

Bringing end to daily duties

beckons all the earth to rest

If yoursquove never paused to wonder

as such thins there are so many

Then you have missed so much in life

that doesnrsquot cost a penny

Take Time

Many people worry about becoming more forgetful fearing it is the first sign of Alzheimers disease

In the past memory loss and confusion were considered a normal part of aging However scientists now

recognize that most people remain both alert and able as they age although it may take longer to remember

things

A lot of people experience memory lapses Some memory problems are serious and others are

not People with serious changes in memory personality and behavior may suffer from a form of brain

disease called Dementia Dementia affects a persons ability to carry out activities of daily living

Dementia is not part of aging

Some Causes of Dementia

- Adverse reaction to medication - Vision andor hearing problems

- Poor nutrition leading to nutritional imbalances and Vitamin deficiency - Minor head injuries

- Infections - Diabetes - Renal disease - Thyroid disease

With accurate diagnosis comes help and management

Symptoms of Dementia

- Asking the same question repeatedly - Becoming lost in familiar places

- Being unable to follow directions - Being disorientated about time people and places

- Neglecting hygiene nutrition or safety

21

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

The two most common forms of Dementia are Alzheimers disease and Vascular dementia

These two at the present are irreversible

In Alzheimers disease nerve cells change in certain parts of the brain resulting in the death of a large

number of brain cells As the disease progresses symptoms led to serious impairment in thinking judgement

and performance of daily activities

Vascular disease is caused by a series of strokes or changes in the blood supply to the brain resulting

in death of brain tissue The location and severity of the strokes determine the seriousness of the impairment

Symptoms begin abruptly and there is no way to reverse the damage caused by the stroke Treatment to

prevent further strokes is very important

Diagnosis of Dementia includes a complete medical history past and present prescriptions and over

the counter medications diet and general health The doctor will perform blood and urine tests as well as

problem solving and memory testing Because correct diagnosis depends on recalling details it would be

prudent to ask a family member to accompany you to the appointment

Treatment involves helping patients and there families to cope with the irreversible aspects of the

disease People with early and middle stages of Alzheimers can be treated with medications to delay the

worsening of some of the symptoms

For Vascular disease dementia it is important to prevent further strokes by controlling hypertension

treating high cholesterol controlling diabetes and refraining from smoking

Medication to reduce anxiety agitation depression or sleeping problems may be prescribed

Scientists are working to develop new drugs that someday may slow reverse or prevent Dementia

In the Feb 11 2015 Winnipeg Free Press there is an article regarding stroke cure which involves extracting

clots from the arteries they block This results in lower number of deaths and improved post stroke quality of

life

People with no Dementia should strive to keep there memory sharp Develop or remain involved in

activities that stimulate your mind and body Limit the use of alcohol because heavy drinking overtime can

cause permanent brain damage Take advantage of activities available here in the village such as cards

dancing books puzzles shuffle board and the pool or exercise equipment to socialize and activate your

mind and decrease depression Video and computer games are also great at keeping your mind sharp

regardless of what we told our children and grandchildren as they spent countless hours playing their games

These games stimulate the mind to make split second decisions and improves eye-hand co-ordination

Physical and mental changes occur with age in healthy people However much pain and suffering

can be avoided if the elderly their families and their doctor recognize that Dementia is a disease and not

part of normal aging

Panama Cruise

We left Fort Lauderdale FL November 28th aboard the MS Zuiderdam for a ten day Panama cruise Ports of call included Half Moon Cay Bahamas Oranjestad Aruba Willemstad Curacao Colon Panama and Limon Costa Rica Highlights included going through the Panama Canal visiting the Embera Village in Panama via dugout canoe and a pontoon boat river tour in Costa Rica Weather was great all in all we had a wonderful time Larry amp Carole Trush

The Panama Canal connects the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans It is a 48 mile canal that is important for international

maritime trade Construction of the canal began in 1881 by France but there were engineering problems and too

many people were dying due to disease Construction stopped until the US took over in 1904 They took 10 years to

complete the canal The canal allowed ships to travel between the two oceans more safely and in half the time

In 1999 the Panamanian government took control of the canal The Panama Canal is one of the Seven Wonders of the

Modern World

Everyone has a story It may concern a career a hobby an achievement an experience etc etc In the PVRA 2015 newsletters we would like to profile residents of Paradise Village If you know of anyone you would like to see profiled call me at 204-422-5712 and I will try to arrange for an interview Larry Menec and the PVRA Newsletter

After learning of George Coyles varied life experiences I thought jockey of all trades might be an

appropriate descriptor In addition to racing horses he was involved in car racing motorcycle racing boxing served

in the British Navy and worked as an Electrician

At the age of 14 George worked in racing stables as a stable hand and exercise person He raced horses as an

amateur until age 17 He then moved to Wales where he trained horses for fox hunting

At the age 18 George joined the British Navy and served on the aircraft carrier The Implacable He trained

as a rigger and worked on aircraft frames When George became involved in boxing he found a lot of competition

among the 2200 men on the ship He recalls that in his first fight he walked into a right hand thrown by a Scotsman

and was knocked out within 30 seconds Things improved considerably and George was soon winning regularly

He went to Kent on leave and met Joyce They soon married a marriage they are proud to say has lasted 62

years They later moved to Essex also in England where George became employed as an electrician with the Ford

Motor Company During that time he raced motorcycles and cars throughout England

George and Joyce moved to Canada in the early 1970s They first settled in Shoal Lake MB where George

worked as an electrician a profession he continued to work at when they moved to Winnipeg this time at St Josephs

personal care home They moved to Paradise Village in the early 1990s and George retired several years later

When asked about memorable experiences George told the story of 2 sisters with the surname Coyle who

were involved in the murder of 8 British soldiers in Northern Ireland George was detained by police in London when

he was overheard using the name Coyle He was held for several hours and nearly missed the start of their holiday

There were humorous experiences When on holidays in Mauritius they met a Chinese bookmaker When

George mentioned that Joyce was a psychic the bookmaker asked her to pick the race winners She correctly picked

the winners and the bookmaker made a lot of money This information soon spread and Joyce had to lock herself in a

washroom to escape the crowd

On their return from Mauritius their granddaughter went missing during the flight She was found on the

second floor of the jumbo jet in deep conversation with Engelbert Humperdinck

When asked about a bucket list George ever the adventurer says he would like to skydive That would be the

icing on an interesting cake

wouldnt get accidentally Mashed and get a bad name for herself like Hot Potato and end up with a bunch of Tater Tots Yam said not to worry no Spud would get her into the sack and make a Rotten Potato out of her But on the other hand she wouldnt stay home and become a Couch

Potato either She would get plenty of exercise so as not to be skinny like her Shoestring Cousins When she went off to Europe Mr and Mrs Potato told Yam to watch out for the

Hard-Boiled guys from Ireland the Greasy guys from France called the French Fries and when she went out west to watch out for the Indians so she wouldnt get scalloped Yam said she

would stay on the straight and narrow and wouldnt associate with those high class Yukon Golds or the ones from the Other Side of the tracks who advertise their trade on all the trucks that say

Frito Lay Mr and Mrs Potato sent Yam to Idaho P U (thats Potato University) so that when she graduated shed really Be In the Chips But in spite of all they did for her one day Yam came

Kidney Infection

The kidneys are a pair of bean-shaped organs found along the posterior wall of the abdominal

cavity The left kidney is located slightly higher than the right kidney because the right side of the

liver is much larger than the left side The kidneys unlike the other organs of the abdominal cavity

are located posterior to the peritoneum and touch the muscles of the back The kidneys are

surrounded by a layer of adipose that holds them in place and protects them from physical

damage The kidneys filter metabolic wastes excess ions and chemicals from the blood to form

urine

Kidney infection (pyelonephritis) is a specific type of urinary tract infection (UTI) that generally begins in your urethra or bladder and travels up into your kidneys

A kidney infection requires prompt medical attention If not treated properly a kidney infection can permanently damage your kidneys or the bacteria can spread to your bloodstream and cause a life-threatening infection

Kidney infection treatment usually includes antibiotics and often requires hospitalization

Signs and symptoms of a kidney infection may include

bullFever bullBack side (flank) or groin pain bullAbdominal pain bullFrequent urination bullStrong persistent urge to urinate

bullBurning sensation or pain when urinating bullPus or blood in your urine (hematuria)

bullUrine that smells bad or is cloudy

When to see a doctor

Make an appointment with your doctor if you have any signs or symptoms that worry you Also make an appointment if youre being treated for a urinary tract infection but your signs and symp-toms arent improving

Severe kidney infection can lead to life-threatening complications Seek immediate medical atten-tion if you experience typical kidney infection symptoms combined with bloody urine or nausea and vomiting

If left untreated a kidney infection can lead to potentially serious complications such as

bullPermanent kidney damage Permanent kidney damage can lead to chronic kidney disease

bullBlood poisoning (septicemia) Your kidneys filter waste from your blood and then return your blood to the rest of your body If you have a kidney infection the bacteria can spread as the kid-neys return blood to circulation

On Saturday the 21st of February I had the pleasure of

attending a drama performance entitled ldquoSistersrdquo at the Providence

University College in Otterburne MB Set in Nova Scotia ldquoSistersrdquo is

a tough uncompromising look at a convent-run Native residential

school The play was very thought-provoking not skimming over the

wrongs done through the residential schools in the slightest but telling

the story from the nunsrsquo point of view which is not heard quite as often

The religious people are often demonized in this scenario and though

they did in many if not most cases do absolutely horrific things

unfortunately they often truly believed they were doing the right thing

The point of the play was that Christian people with good intensions

can still do very horrible and damaging things in the name of God The

people who created the Residential Schools did so in the firm belief that

their culture was better than the cultures of Canadarsquos indigenous

peoples Seeing the history through the eyes of Mary left me thinking

how tough it must have been for the nuns Becoming a nun for Mary

did not go in the direction she had envisioned We did not see the

priests or the government officials who instituted and ran the schools

Unseen their controlling presence demonstrated the prejudice and

domination that poisons Mary her fellow Sisters and us This play is a

confession an opportunity to speak the truth about the past so there

may be hope for reconciliation in the future ldquoSistersrdquo reminds us to

pay attention to the things we donrsquot see and to listen for the

silences that repress curiosity and truth-telling By Debbie Kokil

Submitted by Paradise Resident Barb Prior

Many people worry about becoming more forgetful fearing it is the first sign of Alzheimers disease

In the past memory loss and confusion were considered a normal part of aging However scientists now

recognize that most people remain both alert and able as they age although it may take longer to remember

things

A lot of people experience memory lapses Some memory problems are serious and others are

not People with serious changes in memory personality and behavior may suffer from a form of brain

disease called Dementia Dementia affects a persons ability to carry out activities of daily living

Dementia is not part of aging

Some Causes of Dementia

- Adverse reaction to medication - Vision andor hearing problems

- Poor nutrition leading to nutritional imbalances and Vitamin deficiency - Minor head injuries

- Infections - Diabetes - Renal disease - Thyroid disease

With accurate diagnosis comes help and management

Symptoms of Dementia

- Asking the same question repeatedly - Becoming lost in familiar places

- Being unable to follow directions - Being disorientated about time people and places

- Neglecting hygiene nutrition or safety

21

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

The two most common forms of Dementia are Alzheimers disease and Vascular dementia

These two at the present are irreversible

In Alzheimers disease nerve cells change in certain parts of the brain resulting in the death of a large

number of brain cells As the disease progresses symptoms led to serious impairment in thinking judgement

and performance of daily activities

Vascular disease is caused by a series of strokes or changes in the blood supply to the brain resulting

in death of brain tissue The location and severity of the strokes determine the seriousness of the impairment

Symptoms begin abruptly and there is no way to reverse the damage caused by the stroke Treatment to

prevent further strokes is very important

Diagnosis of Dementia includes a complete medical history past and present prescriptions and over

the counter medications diet and general health The doctor will perform blood and urine tests as well as

problem solving and memory testing Because correct diagnosis depends on recalling details it would be

prudent to ask a family member to accompany you to the appointment

Treatment involves helping patients and there families to cope with the irreversible aspects of the

disease People with early and middle stages of Alzheimers can be treated with medications to delay the

worsening of some of the symptoms

For Vascular disease dementia it is important to prevent further strokes by controlling hypertension

treating high cholesterol controlling diabetes and refraining from smoking

Medication to reduce anxiety agitation depression or sleeping problems may be prescribed

Scientists are working to develop new drugs that someday may slow reverse or prevent Dementia

In the Feb 11 2015 Winnipeg Free Press there is an article regarding stroke cure which involves extracting

clots from the arteries they block This results in lower number of deaths and improved post stroke quality of

life

People with no Dementia should strive to keep there memory sharp Develop or remain involved in

activities that stimulate your mind and body Limit the use of alcohol because heavy drinking overtime can

cause permanent brain damage Take advantage of activities available here in the village such as cards

dancing books puzzles shuffle board and the pool or exercise equipment to socialize and activate your

mind and decrease depression Video and computer games are also great at keeping your mind sharp

regardless of what we told our children and grandchildren as they spent countless hours playing their games

These games stimulate the mind to make split second decisions and improves eye-hand co-ordination

Physical and mental changes occur with age in healthy people However much pain and suffering

can be avoided if the elderly their families and their doctor recognize that Dementia is a disease and not

part of normal aging

Panama Cruise

We left Fort Lauderdale FL November 28th aboard the MS Zuiderdam for a ten day Panama cruise Ports of call included Half Moon Cay Bahamas Oranjestad Aruba Willemstad Curacao Colon Panama and Limon Costa Rica Highlights included going through the Panama Canal visiting the Embera Village in Panama via dugout canoe and a pontoon boat river tour in Costa Rica Weather was great all in all we had a wonderful time Larry amp Carole Trush

The Panama Canal connects the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans It is a 48 mile canal that is important for international

maritime trade Construction of the canal began in 1881 by France but there were engineering problems and too

many people were dying due to disease Construction stopped until the US took over in 1904 They took 10 years to

complete the canal The canal allowed ships to travel between the two oceans more safely and in half the time

In 1999 the Panamanian government took control of the canal The Panama Canal is one of the Seven Wonders of the

Modern World

Everyone has a story It may concern a career a hobby an achievement an experience etc etc In the PVRA 2015 newsletters we would like to profile residents of Paradise Village If you know of anyone you would like to see profiled call me at 204-422-5712 and I will try to arrange for an interview Larry Menec and the PVRA Newsletter

After learning of George Coyles varied life experiences I thought jockey of all trades might be an

appropriate descriptor In addition to racing horses he was involved in car racing motorcycle racing boxing served

in the British Navy and worked as an Electrician

At the age of 14 George worked in racing stables as a stable hand and exercise person He raced horses as an

amateur until age 17 He then moved to Wales where he trained horses for fox hunting

At the age 18 George joined the British Navy and served on the aircraft carrier The Implacable He trained

as a rigger and worked on aircraft frames When George became involved in boxing he found a lot of competition

among the 2200 men on the ship He recalls that in his first fight he walked into a right hand thrown by a Scotsman

and was knocked out within 30 seconds Things improved considerably and George was soon winning regularly

He went to Kent on leave and met Joyce They soon married a marriage they are proud to say has lasted 62

years They later moved to Essex also in England where George became employed as an electrician with the Ford

Motor Company During that time he raced motorcycles and cars throughout England

George and Joyce moved to Canada in the early 1970s They first settled in Shoal Lake MB where George

worked as an electrician a profession he continued to work at when they moved to Winnipeg this time at St Josephs

personal care home They moved to Paradise Village in the early 1990s and George retired several years later

When asked about memorable experiences George told the story of 2 sisters with the surname Coyle who

were involved in the murder of 8 British soldiers in Northern Ireland George was detained by police in London when

he was overheard using the name Coyle He was held for several hours and nearly missed the start of their holiday

There were humorous experiences When on holidays in Mauritius they met a Chinese bookmaker When

George mentioned that Joyce was a psychic the bookmaker asked her to pick the race winners She correctly picked

the winners and the bookmaker made a lot of money This information soon spread and Joyce had to lock herself in a

washroom to escape the crowd

On their return from Mauritius their granddaughter went missing during the flight She was found on the

second floor of the jumbo jet in deep conversation with Engelbert Humperdinck

When asked about a bucket list George ever the adventurer says he would like to skydive That would be the

icing on an interesting cake

wouldnt get accidentally Mashed and get a bad name for herself like Hot Potato and end up with a bunch of Tater Tots Yam said not to worry no Spud would get her into the sack and make a Rotten Potato out of her But on the other hand she wouldnt stay home and become a Couch

Potato either She would get plenty of exercise so as not to be skinny like her Shoestring Cousins When she went off to Europe Mr and Mrs Potato told Yam to watch out for the

Hard-Boiled guys from Ireland the Greasy guys from France called the French Fries and when she went out west to watch out for the Indians so she wouldnt get scalloped Yam said she

would stay on the straight and narrow and wouldnt associate with those high class Yukon Golds or the ones from the Other Side of the tracks who advertise their trade on all the trucks that say

Frito Lay Mr and Mrs Potato sent Yam to Idaho P U (thats Potato University) so that when she graduated shed really Be In the Chips But in spite of all they did for her one day Yam came

Kidney Infection

The kidneys are a pair of bean-shaped organs found along the posterior wall of the abdominal

cavity The left kidney is located slightly higher than the right kidney because the right side of the

liver is much larger than the left side The kidneys unlike the other organs of the abdominal cavity

are located posterior to the peritoneum and touch the muscles of the back The kidneys are

surrounded by a layer of adipose that holds them in place and protects them from physical

damage The kidneys filter metabolic wastes excess ions and chemicals from the blood to form

urine

Kidney infection (pyelonephritis) is a specific type of urinary tract infection (UTI) that generally begins in your urethra or bladder and travels up into your kidneys

A kidney infection requires prompt medical attention If not treated properly a kidney infection can permanently damage your kidneys or the bacteria can spread to your bloodstream and cause a life-threatening infection

Kidney infection treatment usually includes antibiotics and often requires hospitalization

Signs and symptoms of a kidney infection may include

bullFever bullBack side (flank) or groin pain bullAbdominal pain bullFrequent urination bullStrong persistent urge to urinate

bullBurning sensation or pain when urinating bullPus or blood in your urine (hematuria)

bullUrine that smells bad or is cloudy

When to see a doctor

Make an appointment with your doctor if you have any signs or symptoms that worry you Also make an appointment if youre being treated for a urinary tract infection but your signs and symp-toms arent improving

Severe kidney infection can lead to life-threatening complications Seek immediate medical atten-tion if you experience typical kidney infection symptoms combined with bloody urine or nausea and vomiting

If left untreated a kidney infection can lead to potentially serious complications such as

bullPermanent kidney damage Permanent kidney damage can lead to chronic kidney disease

bullBlood poisoning (septicemia) Your kidneys filter waste from your blood and then return your blood to the rest of your body If you have a kidney infection the bacteria can spread as the kid-neys return blood to circulation

On Saturday the 21st of February I had the pleasure of

attending a drama performance entitled ldquoSistersrdquo at the Providence

University College in Otterburne MB Set in Nova Scotia ldquoSistersrdquo is

a tough uncompromising look at a convent-run Native residential

school The play was very thought-provoking not skimming over the

wrongs done through the residential schools in the slightest but telling

the story from the nunsrsquo point of view which is not heard quite as often

The religious people are often demonized in this scenario and though

they did in many if not most cases do absolutely horrific things

unfortunately they often truly believed they were doing the right thing

The point of the play was that Christian people with good intensions

can still do very horrible and damaging things in the name of God The

people who created the Residential Schools did so in the firm belief that

their culture was better than the cultures of Canadarsquos indigenous

peoples Seeing the history through the eyes of Mary left me thinking

how tough it must have been for the nuns Becoming a nun for Mary

did not go in the direction she had envisioned We did not see the

priests or the government officials who instituted and ran the schools

Unseen their controlling presence demonstrated the prejudice and

domination that poisons Mary her fellow Sisters and us This play is a

confession an opportunity to speak the truth about the past so there

may be hope for reconciliation in the future ldquoSistersrdquo reminds us to

pay attention to the things we donrsquot see and to listen for the

silences that repress curiosity and truth-telling By Debbie Kokil

Submitted by Paradise Resident Barb Prior

Many people worry about becoming more forgetful fearing it is the first sign of Alzheimers disease

In the past memory loss and confusion were considered a normal part of aging However scientists now

recognize that most people remain both alert and able as they age although it may take longer to remember

things

A lot of people experience memory lapses Some memory problems are serious and others are

not People with serious changes in memory personality and behavior may suffer from a form of brain

disease called Dementia Dementia affects a persons ability to carry out activities of daily living

Dementia is not part of aging

Some Causes of Dementia

- Adverse reaction to medication - Vision andor hearing problems

- Poor nutrition leading to nutritional imbalances and Vitamin deficiency - Minor head injuries

- Infections - Diabetes - Renal disease - Thyroid disease

With accurate diagnosis comes help and management

Symptoms of Dementia

- Asking the same question repeatedly - Becoming lost in familiar places

- Being unable to follow directions - Being disorientated about time people and places

- Neglecting hygiene nutrition or safety

21

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

The two most common forms of Dementia are Alzheimers disease and Vascular dementia

These two at the present are irreversible

In Alzheimers disease nerve cells change in certain parts of the brain resulting in the death of a large

number of brain cells As the disease progresses symptoms led to serious impairment in thinking judgement

and performance of daily activities

Vascular disease is caused by a series of strokes or changes in the blood supply to the brain resulting

in death of brain tissue The location and severity of the strokes determine the seriousness of the impairment

Symptoms begin abruptly and there is no way to reverse the damage caused by the stroke Treatment to

prevent further strokes is very important

Diagnosis of Dementia includes a complete medical history past and present prescriptions and over

the counter medications diet and general health The doctor will perform blood and urine tests as well as

problem solving and memory testing Because correct diagnosis depends on recalling details it would be

prudent to ask a family member to accompany you to the appointment

Treatment involves helping patients and there families to cope with the irreversible aspects of the

disease People with early and middle stages of Alzheimers can be treated with medications to delay the

worsening of some of the symptoms

For Vascular disease dementia it is important to prevent further strokes by controlling hypertension

treating high cholesterol controlling diabetes and refraining from smoking

Medication to reduce anxiety agitation depression or sleeping problems may be prescribed

Scientists are working to develop new drugs that someday may slow reverse or prevent Dementia

In the Feb 11 2015 Winnipeg Free Press there is an article regarding stroke cure which involves extracting

clots from the arteries they block This results in lower number of deaths and improved post stroke quality of

life

People with no Dementia should strive to keep there memory sharp Develop or remain involved in

activities that stimulate your mind and body Limit the use of alcohol because heavy drinking overtime can

cause permanent brain damage Take advantage of activities available here in the village such as cards

dancing books puzzles shuffle board and the pool or exercise equipment to socialize and activate your

mind and decrease depression Video and computer games are also great at keeping your mind sharp

regardless of what we told our children and grandchildren as they spent countless hours playing their games

These games stimulate the mind to make split second decisions and improves eye-hand co-ordination

Physical and mental changes occur with age in healthy people However much pain and suffering

can be avoided if the elderly their families and their doctor recognize that Dementia is a disease and not

part of normal aging

Last month I asked if you would be interested in South Beach trips every 2nd month and the answer was YES I had

suggested March 3031 for the next trip but found out those days are booked I am told that I have to book a long time

in advance to get the dates we want for the hotel and buses as both are very busy in the coming months

April 2324th

has been booked for the next trip Please contact me ASAP

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 me for more details

Tentative dates Aug 45 amp Aug 1112 2015

I have booked two dates due to the fact a lot of people want to go both weeks but I have not received confirmation at

time of writing I need a lot more people to sign up to make two weeks work I suspect there are some snowbirds that

are away right now who will want to go so if you are in touch with them check to see if they are interested and let me

know We should have one bus for sure I will have to act on this in the next month or so as deposits are needed for

everything early This is an amazing deal an $8500 per person

(based on double occupancy If you want more details call me

Panama Cruise

We left Fort Lauderdale FL November 28th aboard the MS Zuiderdam for a ten day Panama cruise Ports of call included Half Moon Cay Bahamas Oranjestad Aruba Willemstad Curacao Colon Panama and Limon Costa Rica Highlights included going through the Panama Canal visiting the Embera Village in Panama via dugout canoe and a pontoon boat river tour in Costa Rica Weather was great all in all we had a wonderful time Larry amp Carole Trush

The Panama Canal connects the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans It is a 48 mile canal that is important for international

maritime trade Construction of the canal began in 1881 by France but there were engineering problems and too

many people were dying due to disease Construction stopped until the US took over in 1904 They took 10 years to

complete the canal The canal allowed ships to travel between the two oceans more safely and in half the time

In 1999 the Panamanian government took control of the canal The Panama Canal is one of the Seven Wonders of the

Modern World

Everyone has a story It may concern a career a hobby an achievement an experience etc etc In the PVRA 2015 newsletters we would like to profile residents of Paradise Village If you know of anyone you would like to see profiled call me at 204-422-5712 and I will try to arrange for an interview Larry Menec and the PVRA Newsletter

After learning of George Coyles varied life experiences I thought jockey of all trades might be an

appropriate descriptor In addition to racing horses he was involved in car racing motorcycle racing boxing served

in the British Navy and worked as an Electrician

At the age of 14 George worked in racing stables as a stable hand and exercise person He raced horses as an

amateur until age 17 He then moved to Wales where he trained horses for fox hunting

At the age 18 George joined the British Navy and served on the aircraft carrier The Implacable He trained

as a rigger and worked on aircraft frames When George became involved in boxing he found a lot of competition

among the 2200 men on the ship He recalls that in his first fight he walked into a right hand thrown by a Scotsman

and was knocked out within 30 seconds Things improved considerably and George was soon winning regularly

He went to Kent on leave and met Joyce They soon married a marriage they are proud to say has lasted 62

years They later moved to Essex also in England where George became employed as an electrician with the Ford

Motor Company During that time he raced motorcycles and cars throughout England

George and Joyce moved to Canada in the early 1970s They first settled in Shoal Lake MB where George

worked as an electrician a profession he continued to work at when they moved to Winnipeg this time at St Josephs

personal care home They moved to Paradise Village in the early 1990s and George retired several years later

When asked about memorable experiences George told the story of 2 sisters with the surname Coyle who

were involved in the murder of 8 British soldiers in Northern Ireland George was detained by police in London when

he was overheard using the name Coyle He was held for several hours and nearly missed the start of their holiday

There were humorous experiences When on holidays in Mauritius they met a Chinese bookmaker When

George mentioned that Joyce was a psychic the bookmaker asked her to pick the race winners She correctly picked

the winners and the bookmaker made a lot of money This information soon spread and Joyce had to lock herself in a

washroom to escape the crowd

On their return from Mauritius their granddaughter went missing during the flight She was found on the

second floor of the jumbo jet in deep conversation with Engelbert Humperdinck

When asked about a bucket list George ever the adventurer says he would like to skydive That would be the

icing on an interesting cake

Potatoes Well a Girl Potato and Boy Potato had eyes for each other and got married and had a little Sweet Potato which they called Yam Of course they wanted the best for Yam When it was time they told her about the facts of life They warned her about going out and getting Half-baked so she

wouldnt get accidentally Mashed and get a bad name for herself like Hot Potato and end up with a bunch of Tater Tots Yam said not to worry no Spud would get her into the sack and make a Rotten Potato out of her But on the other hand she wouldnt stay home and become a Couch

Potato either She would get plenty of exercise so as not to be skinny like her Shoestring Cousins When she went off to Europe Mr and Mrs Potato told Yam to watch out for the

Hard-Boiled guys from Ireland the Greasy guys from France called the French Fries and when she went out west to watch out for the Indians so she wouldnt get scalloped Yam said she

would stay on the straight and narrow and wouldnt associate with those high class Yukon Golds or the ones from the Other Side of the tracks who advertise their trade on all the trucks that say

Frito Lay Mr and Mrs Potato sent Yam to Idaho P U (thats Potato University) so that when she graduated shed really Be In the Chips But in spite of all they did for her one day Yam came

home and announced she was going to marry Peter Mansbridge Yes Peter Mansbridge

Mr and Mrs Potato were very upset They told Yam she couldnt possibly marry

Peter Mansbridge because hes just

Kidney Infection

The kidneys are a pair of bean-shaped organs found along the posterior wall of the abdominal

cavity The left kidney is located slightly higher than the right kidney because the right side of the

liver is much larger than the left side The kidneys unlike the other organs of the abdominal cavity

are located posterior to the peritoneum and touch the muscles of the back The kidneys are

surrounded by a layer of adipose that holds them in place and protects them from physical

damage The kidneys filter metabolic wastes excess ions and chemicals from the blood to form

urine

Kidney infection (pyelonephritis) is a specific type of urinary tract infection (UTI) that generally begins in your urethra or bladder and travels up into your kidneys

A kidney infection requires prompt medical attention If not treated properly a kidney infection can permanently damage your kidneys or the bacteria can spread to your bloodstream and cause a life-threatening infection

On Saturday the 21st of February I had the pleasure of

attending a drama performance entitled ldquoSistersrdquo at the Providence

University College in Otterburne MB Set in Nova Scotia ldquoSistersrdquo is

a tough uncompromising look at a convent-run Native residential

school The play was very thought-provoking not skimming over the

wrongs done through the residential schools in the slightest but telling

the story from the nunsrsquo point of view which is not heard quite as often

The religious people are often demonized in this scenario and though

they did in many if not most cases do absolutely horrific things

unfortunately they often truly believed they were doing the right thing

The point of the play was that Christian people with good intensions

can still do very horrible and damaging things in the name of God The

people who created the Residential Schools did so in the firm belief that

their culture was better than the cultures of Canadarsquos indigenous

peoples Seeing the history through the eyes of Mary left me thinking

how tough it must have been for the nuns Becoming a nun for Mary

did not go in the direction she had envisioned We did not see the

priests or the government officials who instituted and ran the schools

Unseen their controlling presence demonstrated the prejudice and

domination that poisons Mary her fellow Sisters and us This play is a

confession an opportunity to speak the truth about the past so there

may be hope for reconciliation in the future ldquoSistersrdquo reminds us to

pay attention to the things we donrsquot see and to listen for the

silences that repress curiosity and truth-telling By Debbie Kokil

Submitted by Paradise Resident Barb Prior

Many people worry about becoming more forgetful fearing it is the first sign of Alzheimers disease

In the past memory loss and confusion were considered a normal part of aging However scientists now

recognize that most people remain both alert and able as they age although it may take longer to remember

things

A lot of people experience memory lapses Some memory problems are serious and others are

not People with serious changes in memory personality and behavior may suffer from a form of brain

disease called Dementia Dementia affects a persons ability to carry out activities of daily living

Dementia is not part of aging

Some Causes of Dementia

- Adverse reaction to medication - Vision andor hearing problems

- Poor nutrition leading to nutritional imbalances and Vitamin deficiency - Minor head injuries

- Infections - Diabetes - Renal disease - Thyroid disease

With accurate diagnosis comes help and management

Symptoms of Dementia

- Asking the same question repeatedly - Becoming lost in familiar places

- Being unable to follow directions - Being disorientated about time people and places

- Neglecting hygiene nutrition or safety

21

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

The two most common forms of Dementia are Alzheimers disease and Vascular dementia

These two at the present are irreversible

In Alzheimers disease nerve cells change in certain parts of the brain resulting in the death of a large

number of brain cells As the disease progresses symptoms led to serious impairment in thinking judgement

and performance of daily activities

Vascular disease is caused by a series of strokes or changes in the blood supply to the brain resulting

in death of brain tissue The location and severity of the strokes determine the seriousness of the impairment

Symptoms begin abruptly and there is no way to reverse the damage caused by the stroke Treatment to

prevent further strokes is very important

Diagnosis of Dementia includes a complete medical history past and present prescriptions and over

the counter medications diet and general health The doctor will perform blood and urine tests as well as

problem solving and memory testing Because correct diagnosis depends on recalling details it would be

prudent to ask a family member to accompany you to the appointment

Treatment involves helping patients and there families to cope with the irreversible aspects of the

disease People with early and middle stages of Alzheimers can be treated with medications to delay the

worsening of some of the symptoms

For Vascular disease dementia it is important to prevent further strokes by controlling hypertension

treating high cholesterol controlling diabetes and refraining from smoking

Medication to reduce anxiety agitation depression or sleeping problems may be prescribed

Scientists are working to develop new drugs that someday may slow reverse or prevent Dementia

In the Feb 11 2015 Winnipeg Free Press there is an article regarding stroke cure which involves extracting

clots from the arteries they block This results in lower number of deaths and improved post stroke quality of

life

People with no Dementia should strive to keep there memory sharp Develop or remain involved in

activities that stimulate your mind and body Limit the use of alcohol because heavy drinking overtime can

cause permanent brain damage Take advantage of activities available here in the village such as cards

dancing books puzzles shuffle board and the pool or exercise equipment to socialize and activate your

mind and decrease depression Video and computer games are also great at keeping your mind sharp

regardless of what we told our children and grandchildren as they spent countless hours playing their games

These games stimulate the mind to make split second decisions and improves eye-hand co-ordination

Physical and mental changes occur with age in healthy people However much pain and suffering

can be avoided if the elderly their families and their doctor recognize that Dementia is a disease and not

part of normal aging

Call me for more details

Tentative dates Aug 45 amp Aug 1112 2015

Panama Cruise

We left Fort Lauderdale FL November 28th aboard the MS Zuiderdam for a ten day Panama cruise Ports of call included Half Moon Cay Bahamas Oranjestad Aruba Willemstad Curacao Colon Panama and Limon Costa Rica Highlights included going through the Panama Canal visiting the Embera Village in Panama via dugout canoe and a pontoon boat river tour in Costa Rica Weather was great all in all we had a wonderful time Larry amp Carole Trush

The Panama Canal connects the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans It is a 48 mile canal that is important for international

maritime trade Construction of the canal began in 1881 by France but there were engineering problems and too

many people were dying due to disease Construction stopped until the US took over in 1904 They took 10 years to

complete the canal The canal allowed ships to travel between the two oceans more safely and in half the time

In 1999 the Panamanian government took control of the canal The Panama Canal is one of the Seven Wonders of the

Modern World

Everyone has a story It may concern a career a hobby an achievement an experience etc etc In the PVRA 2015 newsletters we would like to profile residents of Paradise Village If you know of anyone you would like to see profiled call me at 204-422-5712 and I will try to arrange for an interview Larry Menec and the PVRA Newsletter

After learning of George Coyles varied life experiences I thought jockey of all trades might be an

appropriate descriptor In addition to racing horses he was involved in car racing motorcycle racing boxing served

in the British Navy and worked as an Electrician

At the age of 14 George worked in racing stables as a stable hand and exercise person He raced horses as an

amateur until age 17 He then moved to Wales where he trained horses for fox hunting

At the age 18 George joined the British Navy and served on the aircraft carrier The Implacable He trained

as a rigger and worked on aircraft frames When George became involved in boxing he found a lot of competition

among the 2200 men on the ship He recalls that in his first fight he walked into a right hand thrown by a Scotsman

and was knocked out within 30 seconds Things improved considerably and George was soon winning regularly

He went to Kent on leave and met Joyce They soon married a marriage they are proud to say has lasted 62

years They later moved to Essex also in England where George became employed as an electrician with the Ford

Motor Company During that time he raced motorcycles and cars throughout England

George and Joyce moved to Canada in the early 1970s They first settled in Shoal Lake MB where George

worked as an electrician a profession he continued to work at when they moved to Winnipeg this time at St Josephs

personal care home They moved to Paradise Village in the early 1990s and George retired several years later

When asked about memorable experiences George told the story of 2 sisters with the surname Coyle who

were involved in the murder of 8 British soldiers in Northern Ireland George was detained by police in London when

he was overheard using the name Coyle He was held for several hours and nearly missed the start of their holiday

There were humorous experiences When on holidays in Mauritius they met a Chinese bookmaker When

George mentioned that Joyce was a psychic the bookmaker asked her to pick the race winners She correctly picked

the winners and the bookmaker made a lot of money This information soon spread and Joyce had to lock herself in a

washroom to escape the crowd

On their return from Mauritius their granddaughter went missing during the flight She was found on the

second floor of the jumbo jet in deep conversation with Engelbert Humperdinck

When asked about a bucket list George ever the adventurer says he would like to skydive That would be the

icing on an interesting cake

Potatoes Well a Girl Potato and Boy Potato had eyes for each other and got married and had a little Sweet Potato which they called Yam Of course they wanted the best for Yam When it was time they told her about the facts of life They warned her about going out and getting Half-baked so she

wouldnt get accidentally Mashed and get a bad name for herself like Hot Potato and end up with a bunch of Tater Tots Yam said not to worry no Spud would get her into the sack and make a Rotten Potato out of her But on the other hand she wouldnt stay home and become a Couch

Potato either She would get plenty of exercise so as not to be skinny like her Shoestring Cousins When she went off to Europe Mr and Mrs Potato told Yam to watch out for the

Hard-Boiled guys from Ireland the Greasy guys from France called the French Fries and when she went out west to watch out for the Indians so she wouldnt get scalloped Yam said she

would stay on the straight and narrow and wouldnt associate with those high class Yukon Golds or the ones from the Other Side of the tracks who advertise their trade on all the trucks that say

Frito Lay Mr and Mrs Potato sent Yam to Idaho P U (thats Potato University) so that when she graduated shed really Be In the Chips But in spite of all they did for her one day Yam came

home and announced she was going to marry Peter Mansbridge Yes Peter Mansbridge

Mr and Mrs Potato were very upset They told Yam she couldnt possibly marry

Kidney Infection

The kidneys are a pair of bean-shaped organs found along the posterior wall of the abdominal

cavity The left kidney is located slightly higher than the right kidney because the right side of the

liver is much larger than the left side The kidneys unlike the other organs of the abdominal cavity

are located posterior to the peritoneum and touch the muscles of the back The kidneys are

surrounded by a layer of adipose that holds them in place and protects them from physical

damage The kidneys filter metabolic wastes excess ions and chemicals from the blood to form

urine

Kidney infection (pyelonephritis) is a specific type of urinary tract infection (UTI) that generally begins in your urethra or bladder and travels up into your kidneys

A kidney infection requires prompt medical attention If not treated properly a kidney infection can permanently damage your kidneys or the bacteria can spread to your bloodstream and cause a life-threatening infection

Kidney infection treatment usually includes antibiotics and often requires hospitalization

Signs and symptoms of a kidney infection may include

bullFever bullBack side (flank) or groin pain bullAbdominal pain bullFrequent urination bullStrong persistent urge to urinate

bullBurning sensation or pain when urinating bullPus or blood in your urine (hematuria)

bullUrine that smells bad or is cloudy

When to see a doctor

Make an appointment with your doctor if you have any signs or symptoms that worry you Also make an appointment if youre being treated for a urinary tract infection but your signs and symp-toms arent improving

Severe kidney infection can lead to life-threatening complications Seek immediate medical atten-tion if you experience typical kidney infection symptoms combined with bloody urine or nausea and vomiting

If left untreated a kidney infection can lead to potentially serious complications such as

bullPermanent kidney damage Permanent kidney damage can lead to chronic kidney disease

bullBlood poisoning (septicemia) Your kidneys filter waste from your blood and then return your blood to the rest of your body If you have a kidney infection the bacteria can spread as the kid-neys return blood to circulation

On Saturday the 21st of February I had the pleasure of

attending a drama performance entitled ldquoSistersrdquo at the Providence

University College in Otterburne MB Set in Nova Scotia ldquoSistersrdquo is

a tough uncompromising look at a convent-run Native residential

school The play was very thought-provoking not skimming over the

wrongs done through the residential schools in the slightest but telling

the story from the nunsrsquo point of view which is not heard quite as often

The religious people are often demonized in this scenario and though

they did in many if not most cases do absolutely horrific things

unfortunately they often truly believed they were doing the right thing

The point of the play was that Christian people with good intensions

can still do very horrible and damaging things in the name of God The

people who created the Residential Schools did so in the firm belief that

their culture was better than the cultures of Canadarsquos indigenous

peoples Seeing the history through the eyes of Mary left me thinking

how tough it must have been for the nuns Becoming a nun for Mary

did not go in the direction she had envisioned We did not see the

priests or the government officials who instituted and ran the schools

Unseen their controlling presence demonstrated the prejudice and

domination that poisons Mary her fellow Sisters and us This play is a

confession an opportunity to speak the truth about the past so there

may be hope for reconciliation in the future ldquoSistersrdquo reminds us to

pay attention to the things we donrsquot see and to listen for the

silences that repress curiosity and truth-telling By Debbie Kokil

Many people worry about becoming more forgetful fearing it is the first sign of Alzheimers disease

In the past memory loss and confusion were considered a normal part of aging However scientists now

recognize that most people remain both alert and able as they age although it may take longer to remember

things

A lot of people experience memory lapses Some memory problems are serious and others are

not People with serious changes in memory personality and behavior may suffer from a form of brain

disease called Dementia Dementia affects a persons ability to carry out activities of daily living

Dementia is not part of aging

Some Causes of Dementia

- Adverse reaction to medication - Vision andor hearing problems

- Poor nutrition leading to nutritional imbalances and Vitamin deficiency - Minor head injuries

- Infections - Diabetes - Renal disease - Thyroid disease

With accurate diagnosis comes help and management

Symptoms of Dementia

- Asking the same question repeatedly - Becoming lost in familiar places

- Being unable to follow directions - Being disorientated about time people and places

- Neglecting hygiene nutrition or safety

The two most common forms of Dementia are Alzheimers disease and Vascular dementia

These two at the present are irreversible

In Alzheimers disease nerve cells change in certain parts of the brain resulting in the death of a large

number of brain cells As the disease progresses symptoms led to serious impairment in thinking judgement

and performance of daily activities

Vascular disease is caused by a series of strokes or changes in the blood supply to the brain resulting

in death of brain tissue The location and severity of the strokes determine the seriousness of the impairment

Symptoms begin abruptly and there is no way to reverse the damage caused by the stroke Treatment to

prevent further strokes is very important

Diagnosis of Dementia includes a complete medical history past and present prescriptions and over

the counter medications diet and general health The doctor will perform blood and urine tests as well as

problem solving and memory testing Because correct diagnosis depends on recalling details it would be

prudent to ask a family member to accompany you to the appointment

Treatment involves helping patients and there families to cope with the irreversible aspects of the

disease People with early and middle stages of Alzheimers can be treated with medications to delay the

worsening of some of the symptoms

For Vascular disease dementia it is important to prevent further strokes by controlling hypertension

treating high cholesterol controlling diabetes and refraining from smoking

Medication to reduce anxiety agitation depression or sleeping problems may be prescribed

Scientists are working to develop new drugs that someday may slow reverse or prevent Dementia

In the Feb 11 2015 Winnipeg Free Press there is an article regarding stroke cure which involves extracting

clots from the arteries they block This results in lower number of deaths and improved post stroke quality of

life

People with no Dementia should strive to keep there memory sharp Develop or remain involved in

activities that stimulate your mind and body Limit the use of alcohol because heavy drinking overtime can

cause permanent brain damage Take advantage of activities available here in the village such as cards

dancing books puzzles shuffle board and the pool or exercise equipment to socialize and activate your

mind and decrease depression Video and computer games are also great at keeping your mind sharp

regardless of what we told our children and grandchildren as they spent countless hours playing their games

These games stimulate the mind to make split second decisions and improves eye-hand co-ordination

Physical and mental changes occur with age in healthy people However much pain and suffering

can be avoided if the elderly their families and their doctor recognize that Dementia is a disease and not

part of normal aging

Panama Cruise

We left Fort Lauderdale FL November 28th aboard the MS Zuiderdam for a ten day Panama cruise Ports of call included Half Moon Cay Bahamas Oranjestad Aruba Willemstad Curacao Colon Panama and Limon Costa Rica Highlights included going through the Panama Canal visiting the Embera Village in Panama via dugout canoe and a pontoon boat river tour in Costa Rica Weather was great all in all we had a wonderful time Larry amp Carole Trush

The Panama Canal connects the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans It is a 48 mile canal that is important for international

maritime trade Construction of the canal began in 1881 by France but there were engineering problems and too

many people were dying due to disease Construction stopped until the US took over in 1904 They took 10 years to

complete the canal The canal allowed ships to travel between the two oceans more safely and in half the time

In 1999 the Panamanian government took control of the canal The Panama Canal is one of the Seven Wonders of the

Modern World

Everyone has a story It may concern a career a hobby an achievement an experience etc etc In the PVRA 2015 newsletters we would like to profile residents of Paradise Village If you know of anyone you would like to see profiled call me at 204-422-5712 and I will try to arrange for an interview Larry Menec and the PVRA Newsletter

After learning of George Coyles varied life experiences I thought jockey of all trades might be an

appropriate descriptor In addition to racing horses he was involved in car racing motorcycle racing boxing served

in the British Navy and worked as an Electrician

At the age of 14 George worked in racing stables as a stable hand and exercise person He raced horses as an

amateur until age 17 He then moved to Wales where he trained horses for fox hunting

At the age 18 George joined the British Navy and served on the aircraft carrier The Implacable He trained

as a rigger and worked on aircraft frames When George became involved in boxing he found a lot of competition

among the 2200 men on the ship He recalls that in his first fight he walked into a right hand thrown by a Scotsman

and was knocked out within 30 seconds Things improved considerably and George was soon winning regularly

He went to Kent on leave and met Joyce They soon married a marriage they are proud to say has lasted 62

years They later moved to Essex also in England where George became employed as an electrician with the Ford

Motor Company During that time he raced motorcycles and cars throughout England

George and Joyce moved to Canada in the early 1970s They first settled in Shoal Lake MB where George

worked as an electrician a profession he continued to work at when they moved to Winnipeg this time at St Josephs

personal care home They moved to Paradise Village in the early 1990s and George retired several years later

When asked about memorable experiences George told the story of 2 sisters with the surname Coyle who

were involved in the murder of 8 British soldiers in Northern Ireland George was detained by police in London when

he was overheard using the name Coyle He was held for several hours and nearly missed the start of their holiday

There were humorous experiences When on holidays in Mauritius they met a Chinese bookmaker When

George mentioned that Joyce was a psychic the bookmaker asked her to pick the race winners She correctly picked

the winners and the bookmaker made a lot of money This information soon spread and Joyce had to lock herself in a

washroom to escape the crowd

On their return from Mauritius their granddaughter went missing during the flight She was found on the

second floor of the jumbo jet in deep conversation with Engelbert Humperdinck

When asked about a bucket list George ever the adventurer says he would like to skydive That would be the

icing on an interesting cake

wouldnt get accidentally Mashed and get a bad name for herself like Hot Potato and end up with a bunch of Tater Tots Yam said not to worry no Spud would get her into the sack and make a Rotten Potato out of her But on the other hand she wouldnt stay home and become a Couch

Potato either She would get plenty of exercise so as not to be skinny like her Shoestring Cousins When she went off to Europe Mr and Mrs Potato told Yam to watch out for the

Hard-Boiled guys from Ireland the Greasy guys from France called the French Fries and when she went out west to watch out for the Indians so she wouldnt get scalloped Yam said she

would stay on the straight and narrow and wouldnt associate with those high class Yukon Golds or the ones from the Other Side of the tracks who advertise their trade on all the trucks that say

Frito Lay Mr and Mrs Potato sent Yam to Idaho P U (thats Potato University) so that when she graduated shed really Be In the Chips But in spite of all they did for her one day Yam came

Kidney Infection

The kidneys are a pair of bean-shaped organs found along the posterior wall of the abdominal

cavity The left kidney is located slightly higher than the right kidney because the right side of the

liver is much larger than the left side The kidneys unlike the other organs of the abdominal cavity

are located posterior to the peritoneum and touch the muscles of the back The kidneys are

surrounded by a layer of adipose that holds them in place and protects them from physical

damage The kidneys filter metabolic wastes excess ions and chemicals from the blood to form

urine

Kidney infection (pyelonephritis) is a specific type of urinary tract infection (UTI) that generally begins in your urethra or bladder and travels up into your kidneys

A kidney infection requires prompt medical attention If not treated properly a kidney infection can permanently damage your kidneys or the bacteria can spread to your bloodstream and cause a life-threatening infection

Kidney infection treatment usually includes antibiotics and often requires hospitalization

Signs and symptoms of a kidney infection may include

bullFever bullBack side (flank) or groin pain bullAbdominal pain bullFrequent urination bullStrong persistent urge to urinate

bullBurning sensation or pain when urinating bullPus or blood in your urine (hematuria)

bullUrine that smells bad or is cloudy

When to see a doctor

Make an appointment with your doctor if you have any signs or symptoms that worry you Also make an appointment if youre being treated for a urinary tract infection but your signs and symp-toms arent improving

Severe kidney infection can lead to life-threatening complications Seek immediate medical atten-tion if you experience typical kidney infection symptoms combined with bloody urine or nausea and vomiting

If left untreated a kidney infection can lead to potentially serious complications such as

bullPermanent kidney damage Permanent kidney damage can lead to chronic kidney disease

bullBlood poisoning (septicemia) Your kidneys filter waste from your blood and then return your blood to the rest of your body If you have a kidney infection the bacteria can spread as the kid-neys return blood to circulation

On Saturday the 21st of February I had the pleasure of

attending a drama performance entitled ldquoSistersrdquo at the Providence

University College in Otterburne MB Set in Nova Scotia ldquoSistersrdquo is

a tough uncompromising look at a convent-run Native residential

school The play was very thought-provoking not skimming over the

wrongs done through the residential schools in the slightest but telling

the story from the nunsrsquo point of view which is not heard quite as often

The religious people are often demonized in this scenario and though

they did in many if not most cases do absolutely horrific things

unfortunately they often truly believed they were doing the right thing

The point of the play was that Christian people with good intensions

can still do very horrible and damaging things in the name of God The

people who created the Residential Schools did so in the firm belief that

their culture was better than the cultures of Canadarsquos indigenous

peoples Seeing the history through the eyes of Mary left me thinking

how tough it must have been for the nuns Becoming a nun for Mary

did not go in the direction she had envisioned We did not see the

priests or the government officials who instituted and ran the schools

Unseen their controlling presence demonstrated the prejudice and

domination that poisons Mary her fellow Sisters and us This play is a

confession an opportunity to speak the truth about the past so there

may be hope for reconciliation in the future ldquoSistersrdquo reminds us to

pay attention to the things we donrsquot see and to listen for the

silences that repress curiosity and truth-telling By Debbie Kokil

The two most common forms of Dementia are Alzheimers disease and Vascular dementia

These two at the present are irreversible

In Alzheimers disease nerve cells change in certain parts of the brain resulting in the death of a large

number of brain cells As the disease progresses symptoms led to serious impairment in thinking judgement

and performance of daily activities

Vascular disease is caused by a series of strokes or changes in the blood supply to the brain resulting

in death of brain tissue The location and severity of the strokes determine the seriousness of the impairment

Symptoms begin abruptly and there is no way to reverse the damage caused by the stroke Treatment to

prevent further strokes is very important

Diagnosis of Dementia includes a complete medical history past and present prescriptions and over

the counter medications diet and general health The doctor will perform blood and urine tests as well as

problem solving and memory testing Because correct diagnosis depends on recalling details it would be

prudent to ask a family member to accompany you to the appointment

Treatment involves helping patients and there families to cope with the irreversible aspects of the

disease People with early and middle stages of Alzheimers can be treated with medications to delay the

worsening of some of the symptoms

For Vascular disease dementia it is important to prevent further strokes by controlling hypertension

treating high cholesterol controlling diabetes and refraining from smoking

Medication to reduce anxiety agitation depression or sleeping problems may be prescribed

Scientists are working to develop new drugs that someday may slow reverse or prevent Dementia

In the Feb 11 2015 Winnipeg Free Press there is an article regarding stroke cure which involves extracting

clots from the arteries they block This results in lower number of deaths and improved post stroke quality of

life

People with no Dementia should strive to keep there memory sharp Develop or remain involved in

activities that stimulate your mind and body Limit the use of alcohol because heavy drinking overtime can

cause permanent brain damage Take advantage of activities available here in the village such as cards

dancing books puzzles shuffle board and the pool or exercise equipment to socialize and activate your

mind and decrease depression Video and computer games are also great at keeping your mind sharp

regardless of what we told our children and grandchildren as they spent countless hours playing their games

These games stimulate the mind to make split second decisions and improves eye-hand co-ordination

Physical and mental changes occur with age in healthy people However much pain and suffering

can be avoided if the elderly their families and their doctor recognize that Dementia is a disease and not

part of normal aging

in advance to get the dates we want for the hotel and buses as both are very busy in the coming months

April 2324th

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 me for more details

Tentative dates Aug 45 amp Aug 1112 2015

I have booked two dates due to the fact a lot of people want to go both weeks but I have not received confirmation at

time of writing I need a lot more people to sign up to make two weeks work I suspect there are some snowbirds that

are away right now who will want to go so if you are in touch with them check to see if they are interested and let me

know We should have one bus for sure I will have to act on this in the next month or so as deposits are needed for

Panama Cruise

We left Fort Lauderdale FL November 28th aboard the MS Zuiderdam for a ten day Panama cruise Ports of call included Half Moon Cay Bahamas Oranjestad Aruba Willemstad Curacao Colon Panama and Limon Costa Rica Highlights included going through the Panama Canal visiting the Embera Village in Panama via dugout canoe and a pontoon boat river tour in Costa Rica Weather was great all in all we had a wonderful time Larry amp Carole Trush

The Panama Canal connects the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans It is a 48 mile canal that is important for international

maritime trade Construction of the canal began in 1881 by France but there were engineering problems and too

many people were dying due to disease Construction stopped until the US took over in 1904 They took 10 years to

complete the canal The canal allowed ships to travel between the two oceans more safely and in half the time

In 1999 the Panamanian government took control of the canal The Panama Canal is one of the Seven Wonders of the

Modern World

Everyone has a story It may concern a career a hobby an achievement an experience etc etc In the PVRA 2015 newsletters we would like to profile residents of Paradise Village If you know of anyone you would like to see profiled call me at 204-422-5712 and I will try to arrange for an interview Larry Menec and the PVRA Newsletter

After learning of George Coyles varied life experiences I thought jockey of all trades might be an

appropriate descriptor In addition to racing horses he was involved in car racing motorcycle racing boxing served

in the British Navy and worked as an Electrician

At the age of 14 George worked in racing stables as a stable hand and exercise person He raced horses as an

amateur until age 17 He then moved to Wales where he trained horses for fox hunting

At the age 18 George joined the British Navy and served on the aircraft carrier The Implacable He trained

as a rigger and worked on aircraft frames When George became involved in boxing he found a lot of competition

among the 2200 men on the ship He recalls that in his first fight he walked into a right hand thrown by a Scotsman

and was knocked out within 30 seconds Things improved considerably and George was soon winning regularly

He went to Kent on leave and met Joyce They soon married a marriage they are proud to say has lasted 62

years They later moved to Essex also in England where George became employed as an electrician with the Ford

Motor Company During that time he raced motorcycles and cars throughout England

George and Joyce moved to Canada in the early 1970s They first settled in Shoal Lake MB where George

worked as an electrician a profession he continued to work at when they moved to Winnipeg this time at St Josephs

personal care home They moved to Paradise Village in the early 1990s and George retired several years later

When asked about memorable experiences George told the story of 2 sisters with the surname Coyle who

were involved in the murder of 8 British soldiers in Northern Ireland George was detained by police in London when

he was overheard using the name Coyle He was held for several hours and nearly missed the start of their holiday

There were humorous experiences When on holidays in Mauritius they met a Chinese bookmaker When

George mentioned that Joyce was a psychic the bookmaker asked her to pick the race winners She correctly picked

the winners and the bookmaker made a lot of money This information soon spread and Joyce had to lock herself in a

washroom to escape the crowd

On their return from Mauritius their granddaughter went missing during the flight She was found on the

second floor of the jumbo jet in deep conversation with Engelbert Humperdinck

When asked about a bucket list George ever the adventurer says he would like to skydive That would be the

icing on an interesting cake

wouldnt get accidentally Mashed and get a bad name for herself like Hot Potato and end up with a bunch of Tater Tots Yam said not to worry no Spud would get her into the sack and make a Rotten Potato out of her But on the other hand she wouldnt stay home and become a Couch

Potato either She would get plenty of exercise so as not to be skinny like her Shoestring Cousins When she went off to Europe Mr and Mrs Potato told Yam to watch out for the

Hard-Boiled guys from Ireland the Greasy guys from France called the French Fries and when she went out west to watch out for the Indians so she wouldnt get scalloped Yam said she

would stay on the straight and narrow and wouldnt associate with those high class Yukon Golds or the ones from the Other Side of the tracks who advertise their trade on all the trucks that say

Frito Lay Mr and Mrs Potato sent Yam to Idaho P U (thats Potato University) so that when she graduated shed really Be In the Chips But in spite of all they did for her one day Yam came

Kidney Infection

The kidneys are a pair of bean-shaped organs found along the posterior wall of the abdominal

cavity The left kidney is located slightly higher than the right kidney because the right side of the

liver is much larger than the left side The kidneys unlike the other organs of the abdominal cavity

are located posterior to the peritoneum and touch the muscles of the back The kidneys are

surrounded by a layer of adipose that holds them in place and protects them from physical

damage The kidneys filter metabolic wastes excess ions and chemicals from the blood to form

urine

Kidney infection (pyelonephritis) is a specific type of urinary tract infection (UTI) that generally begins in your urethra or bladder and travels up into your kidneys

A kidney infection requires prompt medical attention If not treated properly a kidney infection can permanently damage your kidneys or the bacteria can spread to your bloodstream and cause a life-threatening infection

Kidney infection treatment usually includes antibiotics and often requires hospitalization

Signs and symptoms of a kidney infection may include

bullFever bullBack side (flank) or groin pain bullAbdominal pain bullFrequent urination bullStrong persistent urge to urinate

bullBurning sensation or pain when urinating bullPus or blood in your urine (hematuria)

bullUrine that smells bad or is cloudy

When to see a doctor

Make an appointment with your doctor if you have any signs or symptoms that worry you Also make an appointment if youre being treated for a urinary tract infection but your signs and symp-toms arent improving

Severe kidney infection can lead to life-threatening complications Seek immediate medical atten-tion if you experience typical kidney infection symptoms combined with bloody urine or nausea and vomiting

If left untreated a kidney infection can lead to potentially serious complications such as

bullPermanent kidney damage Permanent kidney damage can lead to chronic kidney disease

bullBlood poisoning (septicemia) Your kidneys filter waste from your blood and then return your blood to the rest of your body If you have a kidney infection the bacteria can spread as the kid-neys return blood to circulation

On Saturday the 21st of February I had the pleasure of

attending a drama performance entitled ldquoSistersrdquo at the Providence

University College in Otterburne MB Set in Nova Scotia ldquoSistersrdquo is

a tough uncompromising look at a convent-run Native residential

school The play was very thought-provoking not skimming over the

wrongs done through the residential schools in the slightest but telling

the story from the nunsrsquo point of view which is not heard quite as often

The religious people are often demonized in this scenario and though

they did in many if not most cases do absolutely horrific things

unfortunately they often truly believed they were doing the right thing

The point of the play was that Christian people with good intensions

can still do very horrible and damaging things in the name of God The

people who created the Residential Schools did so in the firm belief that

their culture was better than the cultures of Canadarsquos indigenous

peoples Seeing the history through the eyes of Mary left me thinking

how tough it must have been for the nuns Becoming a nun for Mary

did not go in the direction she had envisioned We did not see the

priests or the government officials who instituted and ran the schools

Unseen their controlling presence demonstrated the prejudice and

domination that poisons Mary her fellow Sisters and us This play is a

confession an opportunity to speak the truth about the past so there

may be hope for reconciliation in the future ldquoSistersrdquo reminds us to

pay attention to the things we donrsquot see and to listen for the

silences that repress curiosity and truth-telling By Debbie Kokil

Last month I asked if you would be interested in South Beach trips every 2nd month and the answer was YES I had

suggested March 3031 for the next trip but found out those days are booked I am told that I have to book a long time

in advance to get the dates we want for the hotel and buses as both are very busy in the coming months

April 2324th

has been booked for the next trip Please contact me ASAP

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 me for more details

Tentative dates Aug 45 amp Aug 1112 2015

I have booked two dates due to the fact a lot of people want to go both weeks but I have not received confirmation at

time of writing I need a lot more people to sign up to make two weeks work I suspect there are some snowbirds that

are away right now who will want to go so if you are in touch with them check to see if they are interested and let me

know We should have one bus for sure I will have to act on this in the next month or so as deposits are needed for

everything early This is an amazing deal an $8500 per person

(based on double occupancy If you want more details call me

Panama Cruise

We left Fort Lauderdale FL November 28th aboard the MS Zuiderdam for a ten day Panama cruise Ports of call included Half Moon Cay Bahamas Oranjestad Aruba Willemstad Curacao Colon Panama and Limon Costa Rica Highlights included going through the Panama Canal visiting the Embera Village in Panama via dugout canoe and a pontoon boat river tour in Costa Rica Weather was great all in all we had a wonderful time Larry amp Carole Trush

The Panama Canal connects the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans It is a 48 mile canal that is important for international

maritime trade Construction of the canal began in 1881 by France but there were engineering problems and too

many people were dying due to disease Construction stopped until the US took over in 1904 They took 10 years to

complete the canal The canal allowed ships to travel between the two oceans more safely and in half the time

In 1999 the Panamanian government took control of the canal The Panama Canal is one of the Seven Wonders of the

Modern World

Everyone has a story It may concern a career a hobby an achievement an experience etc etc In the PVRA 2015 newsletters we would like to profile residents of Paradise Village If you know of anyone you would like to see profiled call me at 204-422-5712 and I will try to arrange for an interview Larry Menec and the PVRA Newsletter

After learning of George Coyles varied life experiences I thought jockey of all trades might be an

appropriate descriptor In addition to racing horses he was involved in car racing motorcycle racing boxing served

in the British Navy and worked as an Electrician

At the age of 14 George worked in racing stables as a stable hand and exercise person He raced horses as an

amateur until age 17 He then moved to Wales where he trained horses for fox hunting

At the age 18 George joined the British Navy and served on the aircraft carrier The Implacable He trained

as a rigger and worked on aircraft frames When George became involved in boxing he found a lot of competition

among the 2200 men on the ship He recalls that in his first fight he walked into a right hand thrown by a Scotsman

and was knocked out within 30 seconds Things improved considerably and George was soon winning regularly

He went to Kent on leave and met Joyce They soon married a marriage they are proud to say has lasted 62

years They later moved to Essex also in England where George became employed as an electrician with the Ford

Motor Company During that time he raced motorcycles and cars throughout England

George and Joyce moved to Canada in the early 1970s They first settled in Shoal Lake MB where George

worked as an electrician a profession he continued to work at when they moved to Winnipeg this time at St Josephs

personal care home They moved to Paradise Village in the early 1990s and George retired several years later

When asked about memorable experiences George told the story of 2 sisters with the surname Coyle who

were involved in the murder of 8 British soldiers in Northern Ireland George was detained by police in London when

he was overheard using the name Coyle He was held for several hours and nearly missed the start of their holiday

There were humorous experiences When on holidays in Mauritius they met a Chinese bookmaker When

George mentioned that Joyce was a psychic the bookmaker asked her to pick the race winners She correctly picked

the winners and the bookmaker made a lot of money This information soon spread and Joyce had to lock herself in a

washroom to escape the crowd

On their return from Mauritius their granddaughter went missing during the flight She was found on the

second floor of the jumbo jet in deep conversation with Engelbert Humperdinck

When asked about a bucket list George ever the adventurer says he would like to skydive That would be the

icing on an interesting cake

Potatoes Well a Girl Potato and Boy Potato had eyes for each other and got married and had a little Sweet Potato which they called Yam Of course they wanted the best for Yam When it was time they told her about the facts of life They warned her about going out and getting Half-baked so she

wouldnt get accidentally Mashed and get a bad name for herself like Hot Potato and end up with a bunch of Tater Tots Yam said not to worry no Spud would get her into the sack and make a Rotten Potato out of her But on the other hand she wouldnt stay home and become a Couch

Potato either She would get plenty of exercise so as not to be skinny like her Shoestring Cousins When she went off to Europe Mr and Mrs Potato told Yam to watch out for the

Hard-Boiled guys from Ireland the Greasy guys from France called the French Fries and when she went out west to watch out for the Indians so she wouldnt get scalloped Yam said she

would stay on the straight and narrow and wouldnt associate with those high class Yukon Golds or the ones from the Other Side of the tracks who advertise their trade on all the trucks that say

Frito Lay Mr and Mrs Potato sent Yam to Idaho P U (thats Potato University) so that when she graduated shed really Be In the Chips But in spite of all they did for her one day Yam came

home and announced she was going to marry Peter Mansbridge Yes Peter Mansbridge

Mr and Mrs Potato were very upset They told Yam she couldnt possibly marry

Kidney Infection

The kidneys are a pair of bean-shaped organs found along the posterior wall of the abdominal

cavity The left kidney is located slightly higher than the right kidney because the right side of the

liver is much larger than the left side The kidneys unlike the other organs of the abdominal cavity

are located posterior to the peritoneum and touch the muscles of the back The kidneys are

surrounded by a layer of adipose that holds them in place and protects them from physical

damage The kidneys filter metabolic wastes excess ions and chemicals from the blood to form

urine

Kidney infection (pyelonephritis) is a specific type of urinary tract infection (UTI) that generally begins in your urethra or bladder and travels up into your kidneys

A kidney infection requires prompt medical attention If not treated properly a kidney infection can permanently damage your kidneys or the bacteria can spread to your bloodstream and cause a life-threatening infection

Kidney infection treatment usually includes antibiotics and often requires hospitalization

Signs and symptoms of a kidney infection may include

bullFever bullBack side (flank) or groin pain bullAbdominal pain bullFrequent urination bullStrong persistent urge to urinate

bullBurning sensation or pain when urinating bullPus or blood in your urine (hematuria)

bullUrine that smells bad or is cloudy

When to see a doctor

Make an appointment with your doctor if you have any signs or symptoms that worry you Also make an appointment if youre being treated for a urinary tract infection but your signs and symp-toms arent improving

Severe kidney infection can lead to life-threatening complications Seek immediate medical atten-tion if you experience typical kidney infection symptoms combined with bloody urine or nausea and vomiting

If left untreated a kidney infection can lead to potentially serious complications such as

bullPermanent kidney damage Permanent kidney damage can lead to chronic kidney disease

bullBlood poisoning (septicemia) Your kidneys filter waste from your blood and then return your blood to the rest of your body If you have a kidney infection the bacteria can spread as the kid-neys return blood to circulation

On Saturday the 21st of February I had the pleasure of

attending a drama performance entitled ldquoSistersrdquo at the Providence

University College in Otterburne MB Set in Nova Scotia ldquoSistersrdquo is

a tough uncompromising look at a convent-run Native residential

school The play was very thought-provoking not skimming over the

wrongs done through the residential schools in the slightest but telling

the story from the nunsrsquo point of view which is not heard quite as often

The religious people are often demonized in this scenario and though

they did in many if not most cases do absolutely horrific things

unfortunately they often truly believed they were doing the right thing

The point of the play was that Christian people with good intensions

can still do very horrible and damaging things in the name of God The

people who created the Residential Schools did so in the firm belief that

their culture was better than the cultures of Canadarsquos indigenous

peoples Seeing the history through the eyes of Mary left me thinking

how tough it must have been for the nuns Becoming a nun for Mary

did not go in the direction she had envisioned We did not see the

priests or the government officials who instituted and ran the schools

Unseen their controlling presence demonstrated the prejudice and

domination that poisons Mary her fellow Sisters and us This play is a

confession an opportunity to speak the truth about the past so there

may be hope for reconciliation in the future ldquoSistersrdquo reminds us to

pay attention to the things we donrsquot see and to listen for the

silences that repress curiosity and truth-telling By Debbie Kokil

Panama Cruise

We left Fort Lauderdale FL November 28th aboard the MS Zuiderdam for a ten day Panama cruise Ports of call included Half Moon Cay Bahamas Oranjestad Aruba Willemstad Curacao Colon Panama and Limon Costa Rica Highlights included going through the Panama Canal visiting the Embera Village in Panama via dugout canoe and a pontoon boat river tour in Costa Rica Weather was great all in all we had a wonderful time Larry amp Carole Trush

The Panama Canal connects the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans It is a 48 mile canal that is important for international

maritime trade Construction of the canal began in 1881 by France but there were engineering problems and too

many people were dying due to disease Construction stopped until the US took over in 1904 They took 10 years to

complete the canal The canal allowed ships to travel between the two oceans more safely and in half the time

In 1999 the Panamanian government took control of the canal The Panama Canal is one of the Seven Wonders of the

Modern World

Everyone has a story It may concern a career a hobby an achievement an experience etc etc In the PVRA 2015 newsletters we would like to profile residents of Paradise Village If you know of anyone you would like to see profiled call me at 204-422-5712 and I will try to arrange for an interview Larry Menec and the PVRA Newsletter

After learning of George Coyles varied life experiences I thought jockey of all trades might be an

appropriate descriptor In addition to racing horses he was involved in car racing motorcycle racing boxing served

in the British Navy and worked as an Electrician

At the age of 14 George worked in racing stables as a stable hand and exercise person He raced horses as an

amateur until age 17 He then moved to Wales where he trained horses for fox hunting

At the age 18 George joined the British Navy and served on the aircraft carrier The Implacable He trained

as a rigger and worked on aircraft frames When George became involved in boxing he found a lot of competition

among the 2200 men on the ship He recalls that in his first fight he walked into a right hand thrown by a Scotsman

and was knocked out within 30 seconds Things improved considerably and George was soon winning regularly

He went to Kent on leave and met Joyce They soon married a marriage they are proud to say has lasted 62

years They later moved to Essex also in England where George became employed as an electrician with the Ford

Motor Company During that time he raced motorcycles and cars throughout England

George and Joyce moved to Canada in the early 1970s They first settled in Shoal Lake MB where George

worked as an electrician a profession he continued to work at when they moved to Winnipeg this time at St Josephs

personal care home They moved to Paradise Village in the early 1990s and George retired several years later

When asked about memorable experiences George told the story of 2 sisters with the surname Coyle who

were involved in the murder of 8 British soldiers in Northern Ireland George was detained by police in London when

he was overheard using the name Coyle He was held for several hours and nearly missed the start of their holiday

There were humorous experiences When on holidays in Mauritius they met a Chinese bookmaker When

George mentioned that Joyce was a psychic the bookmaker asked her to pick the race winners She correctly picked

the winners and the bookmaker made a lot of money This information soon spread and Joyce had to lock herself in a

washroom to escape the crowd

On their return from Mauritius their granddaughter went missing during the flight She was found on the

second floor of the jumbo jet in deep conversation with Engelbert Humperdinck

When asked about a bucket list George ever the adventurer says he would like to skydive That would be the

icing on an interesting cake

Potatoes Well a Girl Potato and Boy Potato had eyes for each other and got married and had a little Sweet Potato which they called Yam Of course they wanted the best for Yam When it was time they told her about the facts of life They warned her about going out and getting Half-baked so she

wouldnt get accidentally Mashed and get a bad name for herself like Hot Potato and end up with a bunch of Tater Tots Yam said not to worry no Spud would get her into the sack and make a Rotten Potato out of her But on the other hand she wouldnt stay home and become a Couch

Potato either She would get plenty of exercise so as not to be skinny like her Shoestring Cousins When she went off to Europe Mr and Mrs Potato told Yam to watch out for the

Hard-Boiled guys from Ireland the Greasy guys from France called the French Fries and when she went out west to watch out for the Indians so she wouldnt get scalloped Yam said she

would stay on the straight and narrow and wouldnt associate with those high class Yukon Golds or the ones from the Other Side of the tracks who advertise their trade on all the trucks that say

Frito Lay Mr and Mrs Potato sent Yam to Idaho P U (thats Potato University) so that when she graduated shed really Be In the Chips But in spite of all they did for her one day Yam came

home and announced she was going to marry Peter Mansbridge Yes Peter Mansbridge

Mr and Mrs Potato were very upset They told Yam she couldnt possibly marry

Kidney Infection

The kidneys are a pair of bean-shaped organs found along the posterior wall of the abdominal

cavity The left kidney is located slightly higher than the right kidney because the right side of the

liver is much larger than the left side The kidneys unlike the other organs of the abdominal cavity

are located posterior to the peritoneum and touch the muscles of the back The kidneys are

surrounded by a layer of adipose that holds them in place and protects them from physical

damage The kidneys filter metabolic wastes excess ions and chemicals from the blood to form

urine

Kidney infection (pyelonephritis) is a specific type of urinary tract infection (UTI) that generally begins in your urethra or bladder and travels up into your kidneys

A kidney infection requires prompt medical attention If not treated properly a kidney infection can permanently damage your kidneys or the bacteria can spread to your bloodstream and cause a life-threatening infection

Kidney infection treatment usually includes antibiotics and often requires hospitalization

Signs and symptoms of a kidney infection may include

bullFever bullBack side (flank) or groin pain bullAbdominal pain bullFrequent urination bullStrong persistent urge to urinate

bullBurning sensation or pain when urinating bullPus or blood in your urine (hematuria)

bullUrine that smells bad or is cloudy

When to see a doctor

Make an appointment with your doctor if you have any signs or symptoms that worry you Also make an appointment if youre being treated for a urinary tract infection but your signs and symp-toms arent improving

Severe kidney infection can lead to life-threatening complications Seek immediate medical atten-tion if you experience typical kidney infection symptoms combined with bloody urine or nausea and vomiting

If left untreated a kidney infection can lead to potentially serious complications such as

bullPermanent kidney damage Permanent kidney damage can lead to chronic kidney disease

bullBlood poisoning (septicemia) Your kidneys filter waste from your blood and then return your blood to the rest of your body If you have a kidney infection the bacteria can spread as the kid-neys return blood to circulation

On Saturday the 21st of February I had the pleasure of

attending a drama performance entitled ldquoSistersrdquo at the Providence

University College in Otterburne MB Set in Nova Scotia ldquoSistersrdquo is

a tough uncompromising look at a convent-run Native residential

school The play was very thought-provoking not skimming over the

wrongs done through the residential schools in the slightest but telling

the story from the nunsrsquo point of view which is not heard quite as often

The religious people are often demonized in this scenario and though

they did in many if not most cases do absolutely horrific things

unfortunately they often truly believed they were doing the right thing

The point of the play was that Christian people with good intensions

can still do very horrible and damaging things in the name of God The

people who created the Residential Schools did so in the firm belief that

their culture was better than the cultures of Canadarsquos indigenous

peoples Seeing the history through the eyes of Mary left me thinking

how tough it must have been for the nuns Becoming a nun for Mary

did not go in the direction she had envisioned We did not see the

priests or the government officials who instituted and ran the schools

Unseen their controlling presence demonstrated the prejudice and

domination that poisons Mary her fellow Sisters and us This play is a

confession an opportunity to speak the truth about the past so there

may be hope for reconciliation in the future ldquoSistersrdquo reminds us to

pay attention to the things we donrsquot see and to listen for the

silences that repress curiosity and truth-telling By Debbie Kokil

Everyone has a story It may concern a career a hobby an achievement an experience etc etc In the PVRA 2015 newsletters we would like to profile residents of Paradise Village If you know of anyone you would like to see profiled call me at 204-422-5712 and I will try to arrange for an interview Larry Menec and the PVRA Newsletter

After learning of George Coyles varied life experiences I thought jockey of all trades might be an

appropriate descriptor In addition to racing horses he was involved in car racing motorcycle racing boxing served

in the British Navy and worked as an Electrician

At the age of 14 George worked in racing stables as a stable hand and exercise person He raced horses as an

amateur until age 17 He then moved to Wales where he trained horses for fox hunting

At the age 18 George joined the British Navy and served on the aircraft carrier The Implacable He trained

as a rigger and worked on aircraft frames When George became involved in boxing he found a lot of competition

among the 2200 men on the ship He recalls that in his first fight he walked into a right hand thrown by a Scotsman

and was knocked out within 30 seconds Things improved considerably and George was soon winning regularly

He went to Kent on leave and met Joyce They soon married a marriage they are proud to say has lasted 62

years They later moved to Essex also in England where George became employed as an electrician with the Ford

Motor Company During that time he raced motorcycles and cars throughout England

George and Joyce moved to Canada in the early 1970s They first settled in Shoal Lake MB where George

worked as an electrician a profession he continued to work at when they moved to Winnipeg this time at St Josephs

personal care home They moved to Paradise Village in the early 1990s and George retired several years later

When asked about memorable experiences George told the story of 2 sisters with the surname Coyle who

were involved in the murder of 8 British soldiers in Northern Ireland George was detained by police in London when

he was overheard using the name Coyle He was held for several hours and nearly missed the start of their holiday

There were humorous experiences When on holidays in Mauritius they met a Chinese bookmaker When

George mentioned that Joyce was a psychic the bookmaker asked her to pick the race winners She correctly picked

the winners and the bookmaker made a lot of money This information soon spread and Joyce had to lock herself in a

washroom to escape the crowd

On their return from Mauritius their granddaughter went missing during the flight She was found on the

second floor of the jumbo jet in deep conversation with Engelbert Humperdinck

When asked about a bucket list George ever the adventurer says he would like to skydive That would be the

icing on an interesting cake

wouldnt get accidentally Mashed and get a bad name for herself like Hot Potato and end up with a bunch of Tater Tots Yam said not to worry no Spud would get her into the sack and make a Rotten Potato out of her But on the other hand she wouldnt stay home and become a Couch

Potato either She would get plenty of exercise so as not to be skinny like her Shoestring Cousins When she went off to Europe Mr and Mrs Potato told Yam to watch out for the

Hard-Boiled guys from Ireland the Greasy guys from France called the French Fries and when she went out west to watch out for the Indians so she wouldnt get scalloped Yam said she

would stay on the straight and narrow and wouldnt associate with those high class Yukon Golds or the ones from the Other Side of the tracks who advertise their trade on all the trucks that say

Frito Lay Mr and Mrs Potato sent Yam to Idaho P U (thats Potato University) so that when she graduated shed really Be In the Chips But in spite of all they did for her one day Yam came

home and announced she was going to marry Peter Mansbridge Yes Peter Mansbridge

Kidney Infection

The kidneys are a pair of bean-shaped organs found along the posterior wall of the abdominal

cavity The left kidney is located slightly higher than the right kidney because the right side of the

liver is much larger than the left side The kidneys unlike the other organs of the abdominal cavity

are located posterior to the peritoneum and touch the muscles of the back The kidneys are

surrounded by a layer of adipose that holds them in place and protects them from physical

damage The kidneys filter metabolic wastes excess ions and chemicals from the blood to form

urine

Kidney infection (pyelonephritis) is a specific type of urinary tract infection (UTI) that generally begins in your urethra or bladder and travels up into your kidneys

A kidney infection requires prompt medical attention If not treated properly a kidney infection can permanently damage your kidneys or the bacteria can spread to your bloodstream and cause a life-threatening infection

Kidney infection treatment usually includes antibiotics and often requires hospitalization

Signs and symptoms of a kidney infection may include

bullFever bullBack side (flank) or groin pain bullAbdominal pain bullFrequent urination bullStrong persistent urge to urinate

bullBurning sensation or pain when urinating bullPus or blood in your urine (hematuria)

bullUrine that smells bad or is cloudy

When to see a doctor

Make an appointment with your doctor if you have any signs or symptoms that worry you Also make an appointment if youre being treated for a urinary tract infection but your signs and symp-toms arent improving

Severe kidney infection can lead to life-threatening complications Seek immediate medical atten-tion if you experience typical kidney infection symptoms combined with bloody urine or nausea and vomiting

If left untreated a kidney infection can lead to potentially serious complications such as

bullPermanent kidney damage Permanent kidney damage can lead to chronic kidney disease

bullBlood poisoning (septicemia) Your kidneys filter waste from your blood and then return your blood to the rest of your body If you have a kidney infection the bacteria can spread as the kid-neys return blood to circulation

On Saturday the 21st of February I had the pleasure of

attending a drama performance entitled ldquoSistersrdquo at the Providence

University College in Otterburne MB Set in Nova Scotia ldquoSistersrdquo is

a tough uncompromising look at a convent-run Native residential

school The play was very thought-provoking not skimming over the

wrongs done through the residential schools in the slightest but telling

the story from the nunsrsquo point of view which is not heard quite as often

The religious people are often demonized in this scenario and though

they did in many if not most cases do absolutely horrific things

unfortunately they often truly believed they were doing the right thing

The point of the play was that Christian people with good intensions

can still do very horrible and damaging things in the name of God The

people who created the Residential Schools did so in the firm belief that

their culture was better than the cultures of Canadarsquos indigenous

peoples Seeing the history through the eyes of Mary left me thinking

how tough it must have been for the nuns Becoming a nun for Mary

did not go in the direction she had envisioned We did not see the

Everyone has a story It may concern a career a hobby an achievement an experience etc etc In the PVRA 2015 newsletters we would like to profile residents of Paradise Village If you know of anyone you would like to see profiled call me at 204-422-5712 and I will try to arrange for an interview Larry Menec and the PVRA Newsletter

After learning of George Coyles varied life experiences I thought jockey of all trades might be an

appropriate descriptor In addition to racing horses he was involved in car racing motorcycle racing boxing served

in the British Navy and worked as an Electrician

At the age of 14 George worked in racing stables as a stable hand and exercise person He raced horses as an

amateur until age 17 He then moved to Wales where he trained horses for fox hunting

At the age 18 George joined the British Navy and served on the aircraft carrier The Implacable He trained

as a rigger and worked on aircraft frames When George became involved in boxing he found a lot of competition

among the 2200 men on the ship He recalls that in his first fight he walked into a right hand thrown by a Scotsman

and was knocked out within 30 seconds Things improved considerably and George was soon winning regularly

He went to Kent on leave and met Joyce They soon married a marriage they are proud to say has lasted 62

years They later moved to Essex also in England where George became employed as an electrician with the Ford

Motor Company During that time he raced motorcycles and cars throughout England

George and Joyce moved to Canada in the early 1970s They first settled in Shoal Lake MB where George

worked as an electrician a profession he continued to work at when they moved to Winnipeg this time at St Josephs

personal care home They moved to Paradise Village in the early 1990s and George retired several years later

When asked about memorable experiences George told the story of 2 sisters with the surname Coyle who

were involved in the murder of 8 British soldiers in Northern Ireland George was detained by police in London when

he was overheard using the name Coyle He was held for several hours and nearly missed the start of their holiday

There were humorous experiences When on holidays in Mauritius they met a Chinese bookmaker When

George mentioned that Joyce was a psychic the bookmaker asked her to pick the race winners She correctly picked

the winners and the bookmaker made a lot of money This information soon spread and Joyce had to lock herself in a

washroom to escape the crowd

On their return from Mauritius their granddaughter went missing during the flight She was found on the

second floor of the jumbo jet in deep conversation with Engelbert Humperdinck

When asked about a bucket list George ever the adventurer says he would like to skydive That would be the

icing on an interesting cake

wouldnt get accidentally Mashed and get a bad name for herself like Hot Potato and end up with a bunch of Tater Tots Yam said not to worry no Spud would get her into the sack and make a Rotten Potato out of her But on the other hand she wouldnt stay home and become a Couch

Potato either She would get plenty of exercise so as not to be skinny like her Shoestring Cousins When she went off to Europe Mr and Mrs Potato told Yam to watch out for the

Hard-Boiled guys from Ireland the Greasy guys from France called the French Fries and when she went out west to watch out for the Indians so she wouldnt get scalloped Yam said she

would stay on the straight and narrow and wouldnt associate with those high class Yukon Golds or the ones from the Other Side of the tracks who advertise their trade on all the trucks that say

Frito Lay Mr and Mrs Potato sent Yam to Idaho P U (thats Potato University) so that when she graduated shed really Be In the Chips But in spite of all they did for her one day Yam came

Kidney Infection

The kidneys are a pair of bean-shaped organs found along the posterior wall of the abdominal

cavity The left kidney is located slightly higher than the right kidney because the right side of the

liver is much larger than the left side The kidneys unlike the other organs of the abdominal cavity

are located posterior to the peritoneum and touch the muscles of the back The kidneys are

surrounded by a layer of adipose that holds them in place and protects them from physical

damage The kidneys filter metabolic wastes excess ions and chemicals from the blood to form

urine

Kidney infection (pyelonephritis) is a specific type of urinary tract infection (UTI) that generally begins in your urethra or bladder and travels up into your kidneys

A kidney infection requires prompt medical attention If not treated properly a kidney infection can permanently damage your kidneys or the bacteria can spread to your bloodstream and cause a life-threatening infection

Kidney infection treatment usually includes antibiotics and often requires hospitalization

Signs and symptoms of a kidney infection may include

bullFever bullBack side (flank) or groin pain bullAbdominal pain bullFrequent urination bullStrong persistent urge to urinate

bullBurning sensation or pain when urinating bullPus or blood in your urine (hematuria)

bullUrine that smells bad or is cloudy

When to see a doctor

Make an appointment with your doctor if you have any signs or symptoms that worry you Also make an appointment if youre being treated for a urinary tract infection but your signs and symp-toms arent improving

Severe kidney infection can lead to life-threatening complications Seek immediate medical atten-tion if you experience typical kidney infection symptoms combined with bloody urine or nausea and vomiting

If left untreated a kidney infection can lead to potentially serious complications such as

bullPermanent kidney damage Permanent kidney damage can lead to chronic kidney disease

bullBlood poisoning (septicemia) Your kidneys filter waste from your blood and then return your blood to the rest of your body If you have a kidney infection the bacteria can spread as the kid-neys return blood to circulation

On Saturday the 21st of February I had the pleasure of

attending a drama performance entitled ldquoSistersrdquo at the Providence

University College in Otterburne MB Set in Nova Scotia ldquoSistersrdquo is

a tough uncompromising look at a convent-run Native residential

school The play was very thought-provoking not skimming over the

wrongs done through the residential schools in the slightest but telling

the story from the nunsrsquo point of view which is not heard quite as often

The religious people are often demonized in this scenario and though

they did in many if not most cases do absolutely horrific things

unfortunately they often truly believed they were doing the right thing

The point of the play was that Christian people with good intensions

can still do very horrible and damaging things in the name of God The

people who created the Residential Schools did so in the firm belief that

their culture was better than the cultures of Canadarsquos indigenous

peoples Seeing the history through the eyes of Mary left me thinking

how tough it must have been for the nuns Becoming a nun for Mary

did not go in the direction she had envisioned We did not see the

priests or the government officials who instituted and ran the schools

Unseen their controlling presence demonstrated the prejudice and

domination that poisons Mary her fellow Sisters and us This play is a

confession an opportunity to speak the truth about the past so there

may be hope for reconciliation in the future ldquoSistersrdquo reminds us to

pay attention to the things we donrsquot see and to listen for the

silences that repress curiosity and truth-telling By Debbie Kokil

Everyone has a story It may concern a career a hobby an achievement an experience etc etc In the PVRA 2015 newsletters we would like to profile residents of Paradise Village If you know of anyone you would like to see profiled call me at 204-422-5712 and I will try to arrange for an interview Larry Menec and the PVRA Newsletter

After learning of George Coyles varied life experiences I thought jockey of all trades might be an

appropriate descriptor In addition to racing horses he was involved in car racing motorcycle racing boxing served

in the British Navy and worked as an Electrician

At the age of 14 George worked in racing stables as a stable hand and exercise person He raced horses as an

amateur until age 17 He then moved to Wales where he trained horses for fox hunting

At the age 18 George joined the British Navy and served on the aircraft carrier The Implacable He trained

as a rigger and worked on aircraft frames When George became involved in boxing he found a lot of competition

among the 2200 men on the ship He recalls that in his first fight he walked into a right hand thrown by a Scotsman

and was knocked out within 30 seconds Things improved considerably and George was soon winning regularly

He went to Kent on leave and met Joyce They soon married a marriage they are proud to say has lasted 62

years They later moved to Essex also in England where George became employed as an electrician with the Ford

Motor Company During that time he raced motorcycles and cars throughout England

George and Joyce moved to Canada in the early 1970s They first settled in Shoal Lake MB where George

worked as an electrician a profession he continued to work at when they moved to Winnipeg this time at St Josephs

personal care home They moved to Paradise Village in the early 1990s and George retired several years later

When asked about memorable experiences George told the story of 2 sisters with the surname Coyle who

were involved in the murder of 8 British soldiers in Northern Ireland George was detained by police in London when

he was overheard using the name Coyle He was held for several hours and nearly missed the start of their holiday

There were humorous experiences When on holidays in Mauritius they met a Chinese bookmaker When

George mentioned that Joyce was a psychic the bookmaker asked her to pick the race winners She correctly picked

the winners and the bookmaker made a lot of money This information soon spread and Joyce had to lock herself in a

washroom to escape the crowd

On their return from Mauritius their granddaughter went missing during the flight She was found on the

second floor of the jumbo jet in deep conversation with Engelbert Humperdinck

When asked about a bucket list George ever the adventurer says he would like to skydive That would be the

icing on an interesting cake

wouldnt get accidentally Mashed and get a bad name for herself like Hot Potato and end up with a bunch of Tater Tots Yam said not to worry no Spud would get her into the sack and make a Rotten Potato out of her But on the other hand she wouldnt stay home and become a Couch

Potato either She would get plenty of exercise so as not to be skinny like her Shoestring Cousins When she went off to Europe Mr and Mrs Potato told Yam to watch out for the

Hard-Boiled guys from Ireland the Greasy guys from France called the French Fries and when she went out west to watch out for the Indians so she wouldnt get scalloped Yam said she

would stay on the straight and narrow and wouldnt associate with those high class Yukon Golds or the ones from the Other Side of the tracks who advertise their trade on all the trucks that say

Frito Lay Mr and Mrs Potato sent Yam to Idaho P U (thats Potato University) so that when she graduated shed really Be In the Chips But in spite of all they did for her one day Yam came

Kidney Infection

The kidneys are a pair of bean-shaped organs found along the posterior wall of the abdominal

cavity The left kidney is located slightly higher than the right kidney because the right side of the

liver is much larger than the left side The kidneys unlike the other organs of the abdominal cavity

are located posterior to the peritoneum and touch the muscles of the back The kidneys are

surrounded by a layer of adipose that holds them in place and protects them from physical

damage The kidneys filter metabolic wastes excess ions and chemicals from the blood to form

urine

Kidney infection (pyelonephritis) is a specific type of urinary tract infection (UTI) that generally begins in your urethra or bladder and travels up into your kidneys

A kidney infection requires prompt medical attention If not treated properly a kidney infection can permanently damage your kidneys or the bacteria can spread to your bloodstream and cause a life-threatening infection

Kidney infection treatment usually includes antibiotics and often requires hospitalization

Signs and symptoms of a kidney infection may include

bullFever bullBack side (flank) or groin pain bullAbdominal pain bullFrequent urination bullStrong persistent urge to urinate

bullBurning sensation or pain when urinating bullPus or blood in your urine (hematuria)

bullUrine that smells bad or is cloudy

When to see a doctor

Make an appointment with your doctor if you have any signs or symptoms that worry you Also make an appointment if youre being treated for a urinary tract infection but your signs and symp-toms arent improving

Severe kidney infection can lead to life-threatening complications Seek immediate medical atten-tion if you experience typical kidney infection symptoms combined with bloody urine or nausea and vomiting

If left untreated a kidney infection can lead to potentially serious complications such as

bullPermanent kidney damage Permanent kidney damage can lead to chronic kidney disease

bullBlood poisoning (septicemia) Your kidneys filter waste from your blood and then return your blood to the rest of your body If you have a kidney infection the bacteria can spread as the kid-neys return blood to circulation

On Saturday the 21st of February I had the pleasure of

attending a drama performance entitled ldquoSistersrdquo at the Providence

University College in Otterburne MB Set in Nova Scotia ldquoSistersrdquo is

a tough uncompromising look at a convent-run Native residential

school The play was very thought-provoking not skimming over the

wrongs done through the residential schools in the slightest but telling

the story from the nunsrsquo point of view which is not heard quite as often

The religious people are often demonized in this scenario and though

they did in many if not most cases do absolutely horrific things

unfortunately they often truly believed they were doing the right thing

The point of the play was that Christian people with good intensions

can still do very horrible and damaging things in the name of God The

people who created the Residential Schools did so in the firm belief that

their culture was better than the cultures of Canadarsquos indigenous

peoples Seeing the history through the eyes of Mary left me thinking

how tough it must have been for the nuns Becoming a nun for Mary

did not go in the direction she had envisioned We did not see the

priests or the government officials who instituted and ran the schools

Unseen their controlling presence demonstrated the prejudice and

Everyone has a story It may concern a career a hobby an achievement an experience etc etc In the PVRA 2015 newsletters we would like to profile residents of Paradise Village If you know of anyone you would like to see profiled call me at 204-422-5712 and I will try to arrange for an interview Larry Menec and the PVRA Newsletter

After learning of George Coyles varied life experiences I thought jockey of all trades might be an

appropriate descriptor In addition to racing horses he was involved in car racing motorcycle racing boxing served

in the British Navy and worked as an Electrician

At the age of 14 George worked in racing stables as a stable hand and exercise person He raced horses as an

amateur until age 17 He then moved to Wales where he trained horses for fox hunting

At the age 18 George joined the British Navy and served on the aircraft carrier The Implacable He trained

as a rigger and worked on aircraft frames When George became involved in boxing he found a lot of competition

among the 2200 men on the ship He recalls that in his first fight he walked into a right hand thrown by a Scotsman

and was knocked out within 30 seconds Things improved considerably and George was soon winning regularly

He went to Kent on leave and met Joyce They soon married a marriage they are proud to say has lasted 62

years They later moved to Essex also in England where George became employed as an electrician with the Ford

Motor Company During that time he raced motorcycles and cars throughout England

George and Joyce moved to Canada in the early 1970s They first settled in Shoal Lake MB where George

worked as an electrician a profession he continued to work at when they moved to Winnipeg this time at St Josephs

personal care home They moved to Paradise Village in the early 1990s and George retired several years later

When asked about memorable experiences George told the story of 2 sisters with the surname Coyle who

were involved in the murder of 8 British soldiers in Northern Ireland George was detained by police in London when

he was overheard using the name Coyle He was held for several hours and nearly missed the start of their holiday

There were humorous experiences When on holidays in Mauritius they met a Chinese bookmaker When

George mentioned that Joyce was a psychic the bookmaker asked her to pick the race winners She correctly picked

the winners and the bookmaker made a lot of money This information soon spread and Joyce had to lock herself in a

washroom to escape the crowd

On their return from Mauritius their granddaughter went missing during the flight She was found on the

second floor of the jumbo jet in deep conversation with Engelbert Humperdinck

When asked about a bucket list George ever the adventurer says he would like to skydive That would be the

icing on an interesting cake

wouldnt get accidentally Mashed and get a bad name for herself like Hot Potato and end up with a bunch of Tater Tots Yam said not to worry no Spud would get her into the sack and make a Rotten Potato out of her But on the other hand she wouldnt stay home and become a Couch

Potato either She would get plenty of exercise so as not to be skinny like her Shoestring Cousins When she went off to Europe Mr and Mrs Potato told Yam to watch out for the

Hard-Boiled guys from Ireland the Greasy guys from France called the French Fries and when she went out west to watch out for the Indians so she wouldnt get scalloped Yam said she

would stay on the straight and narrow and wouldnt associate with those high class Yukon Golds or the ones from the Other Side of the tracks who advertise their trade on all the trucks that say

Frito Lay Mr and Mrs Potato sent Yam to Idaho P U (thats Potato University) so that when she graduated shed really Be In the Chips But in spite of all they did for her one day Yam came

Kidney Infection

The kidneys are a pair of bean-shaped organs found along the posterior wall of the abdominal

cavity The left kidney is located slightly higher than the right kidney because the right side of the

liver is much larger than the left side The kidneys unlike the other organs of the abdominal cavity

are located posterior to the peritoneum and touch the muscles of the back The kidneys are

surrounded by a layer of adipose that holds them in place and protects them from physical

damage The kidneys filter metabolic wastes excess ions and chemicals from the blood to form

urine

Kidney infection (pyelonephritis) is a specific type of urinary tract infection (UTI) that generally begins in your urethra or bladder and travels up into your kidneys

A kidney infection requires prompt medical attention If not treated properly a kidney infection can permanently damage your kidneys or the bacteria can spread to your bloodstream and cause a life-threatening infection

Kidney infection treatment usually includes antibiotics and often requires hospitalization

Signs and symptoms of a kidney infection may include

bullFever bullBack side (flank) or groin pain bullAbdominal pain bullFrequent urination bullStrong persistent urge to urinate

bullBurning sensation or pain when urinating bullPus or blood in your urine (hematuria)

bullUrine that smells bad or is cloudy

When to see a doctor

Make an appointment with your doctor if you have any signs or symptoms that worry you Also make an appointment if youre being treated for a urinary tract infection but your signs and symp-toms arent improving

Severe kidney infection can lead to life-threatening complications Seek immediate medical atten-tion if you experience typical kidney infection symptoms combined with bloody urine or nausea and vomiting

If left untreated a kidney infection can lead to potentially serious complications such as

bullPermanent kidney damage Permanent kidney damage can lead to chronic kidney disease

bullBlood poisoning (septicemia) Your kidneys filter waste from your blood and then return your blood to the rest of your body If you have a kidney infection the bacteria can spread as the kid-neys return blood to circulation

On Saturday the 21st of February I had the pleasure of

attending a drama performance entitled ldquoSistersrdquo at the Providence

University College in Otterburne MB Set in Nova Scotia ldquoSistersrdquo is

a tough uncompromising look at a convent-run Native residential

school The play was very thought-provoking not skimming over the

wrongs done through the residential schools in the slightest but telling

the story from the nunsrsquo point of view which is not heard quite as often

The religious people are often demonized in this scenario and though

they did in many if not most cases do absolutely horrific things

unfortunately they often truly believed they were doing the right thing

The point of the play was that Christian people with good intensions

can still do very horrible and damaging things in the name of God The

people who created the Residential Schools did so in the firm belief that

their culture was better than the cultures of Canadarsquos indigenous

peoples Seeing the history through the eyes of Mary left me thinking

how tough it must have been for the nuns Becoming a nun for Mary

did not go in the direction she had envisioned We did not see the

priests or the government officials who instituted and ran the schools

Unseen their controlling presence demonstrated the prejudice and

domination that poisons Mary her fellow Sisters and us This play is a

confession an opportunity to speak the truth about the past so there

may be hope for reconciliation in the future ldquoSistersrdquo reminds us to

pay attention to the things we donrsquot see and to listen for the

silences that repress curiosity and truth-telling By Debbie Kokil

Potatoes Well a Girl Potato and Boy Potato had eyes for each other and got married and had a little Sweet Potato which they called Yam Of course they wanted the best for Yam When it was time they told her about the facts of life They warned her about going out and getting Half-baked so she

wouldnt get accidentally Mashed and get a bad name for herself like Hot Potato and end up with a bunch of Tater Tots Yam said not to worry no Spud would get her into the sack and make a Rotten Potato out of her But on the other hand she wouldnt stay home and become a Couch

Potato either She would get plenty of exercise so as not to be skinny like her Shoestring Cousins When she went off to Europe Mr and Mrs Potato told Yam to watch out for the

Hard-Boiled guys from Ireland the Greasy guys from France called the French Fries and when she went out west to watch out for the Indians so she wouldnt get scalloped Yam said she

would stay on the straight and narrow and wouldnt associate with those high class Yukon Golds or the ones from the Other Side of the tracks who advertise their trade on all the trucks that say

Frito Lay Mr and Mrs Potato sent Yam to Idaho P U (thats Potato University) so that when she graduated shed really Be In the Chips But in spite of all they did for her one day Yam came

home and announced she was going to marry Peter Mansbridge Yes Peter Mansbridge

Kidney Infection

The kidneys are a pair of bean-shaped organs found along the posterior wall of the abdominal

cavity The left kidney is located slightly higher than the right kidney because the right side of the

liver is much larger than the left side The kidneys unlike the other organs of the abdominal cavity

are located posterior to the peritoneum and touch the muscles of the back The kidneys are

surrounded by a layer of adipose that holds them in place and protects them from physical

damage The kidneys filter metabolic wastes excess ions and chemicals from the blood to form

urine

Kidney infection (pyelonephritis) is a specific type of urinary tract infection (UTI) that generally begins in your urethra or bladder and travels up into your kidneys

A kidney infection requires prompt medical attention If not treated properly a kidney infection can permanently damage your kidneys or the bacteria can spread to your bloodstream and cause a life-threatening infection

Kidney infection treatment usually includes antibiotics and often requires hospitalization

Signs and symptoms of a kidney infection may include

bullFever bullBack side (flank) or groin pain bullAbdominal pain bullFrequent urination bullStrong persistent urge to urinate

bullBurning sensation or pain when urinating bullPus or blood in your urine (hematuria)

bullUrine that smells bad or is cloudy

When to see a doctor

Make an appointment with your doctor if you have any signs or symptoms that worry you Also make an appointment if youre being treated for a urinary tract infection but your signs and symp-toms arent improving

Severe kidney infection can lead to life-threatening complications Seek immediate medical atten-tion if you experience typical kidney infection symptoms combined with bloody urine or nausea and vomiting

If left untreated a kidney infection can lead to potentially serious complications such as

bullPermanent kidney damage Permanent kidney damage can lead to chronic kidney disease

bullBlood poisoning (septicemia) Your kidneys filter waste from your blood and then return your blood to the rest of your body If you have a kidney infection the bacteria can spread as the kid-neys return blood to circulation

On Saturday the 21st of February I had the pleasure of

attending a drama performance entitled ldquoSistersrdquo at the Providence

University College in Otterburne MB Set in Nova Scotia ldquoSistersrdquo is

a tough uncompromising look at a convent-run Native residential

school The play was very thought-provoking not skimming over the

wrongs done through the residential schools in the slightest but telling

the story from the nunsrsquo point of view which is not heard quite as often

The religious people are often demonized in this scenario and though

they did in many if not most cases do absolutely horrific things

unfortunately they often truly believed they were doing the right thing

The point of the play was that Christian people with good intensions

can still do very horrible and damaging things in the name of God The

people who created the Residential Schools did so in the firm belief that

their culture was better than the cultures of Canadarsquos indigenous

peoples Seeing the history through the eyes of Mary left me thinking

how tough it must have been for the nuns Becoming a nun for Mary

did not go in the direction she had envisioned We did not see the

priests or the government officials who instituted and ran the schools

Unseen their controlling presence demonstrated the prejudice and

domination that poisons Mary her fellow Sisters and us This play is a

confession an opportunity to speak the truth about the past so there

may be hope for reconciliation in the future ldquoSistersrdquo reminds us to

pay attention to the things we donrsquot see and to listen for the

silences that repress curiosity and truth-telling By Debbie Kokil

Potatoes Well a Girl Potato and Boy Potato had eyes for each other and got married and had a little Sweet Potato which they called Yam Of course they wanted the best for Yam When it was time they told her about the facts of life They warned her about going out and getting Half-baked so she

wouldnt get accidentally Mashed and get a bad name for herself like Hot Potato and end up with a bunch of Tater Tots Yam said not to worry no Spud would get her into the sack and make a Rotten Potato out of her But on the other hand she wouldnt stay home and become a Couch

Potato either She would get plenty of exercise so as not to be skinny like her Shoestring Cousins When she went off to Europe Mr and Mrs Potato told Yam to watch out for the

Hard-Boiled guys from Ireland the Greasy guys from France called the French Fries and when she went out west to watch out for the Indians so she wouldnt get scalloped Yam said she

would stay on the straight and narrow and wouldnt associate with those high class Yukon Golds or the ones from the Other Side of the tracks who advertise their trade on all the trucks that say

Frito Lay Mr and Mrs Potato sent Yam to Idaho P U (thats Potato University) so that when she graduated shed really Be In the Chips But in spite of all they did for her one day Yam came

home and announced she was going to marry Peter Mansbridge Yes Peter Mansbridge

Kidney Infection

The kidneys are a pair of bean-shaped organs found along the posterior wall of the abdominal

cavity The left kidney is located slightly higher than the right kidney because the right side of the

liver is much larger than the left side The kidneys unlike the other organs of the abdominal cavity

are located posterior to the peritoneum and touch the muscles of the back The kidneys are

surrounded by a layer of adipose that holds them in place and protects them from physical

damage The kidneys filter metabolic wastes excess ions and chemicals from the blood to form

urine

Kidney infection (pyelonephritis) is a specific type of urinary tract infection (UTI) that generally begins in your urethra or bladder and travels up into your kidneys

A kidney infection requires prompt medical attention If not treated properly a kidney infection can permanently damage your kidneys or the bacteria can spread to your bloodstream and cause a life-threatening infection

Kidney infection treatment usually includes antibiotics and often requires hospitalization

Signs and symptoms of a kidney infection may include

bullFever bullBack side (flank) or groin pain bullAbdominal pain bullFrequent urination bullStrong persistent urge to urinate

bullBurning sensation or pain when urinating bullPus or blood in your urine (hematuria)

bullUrine that smells bad or is cloudy

When to see a doctor

Make an appointment with your doctor if you have any signs or symptoms that worry you Also make an appointment if youre being treated for a urinary tract infection but your signs and symp-toms arent improving

Severe kidney infection can lead to life-threatening complications Seek immediate medical atten-tion if you experience typical kidney infection symptoms combined with bloody urine or nausea and vomiting

If left untreated a kidney infection can lead to potentially serious complications such as

bullPermanent kidney damage Permanent kidney damage can lead to chronic kidney disease

bullBlood poisoning (septicemia) Your kidneys filter waste from your blood and then return your blood to the rest of your body If you have a kidney infection the bacteria can spread as the kid-neys return blood to circulation

On Saturday the 21st of February I had the pleasure of

attending a drama performance entitled ldquoSistersrdquo at the Providence

University College in Otterburne MB Set in Nova Scotia ldquoSistersrdquo is

a tough uncompromising look at a convent-run Native residential

school The play was very thought-provoking not skimming over the

wrongs done through the residential schools in the slightest but telling

the story from the nunsrsquo point of view which is not heard quite as often

The religious people are often demonized in this scenario and though

they did in many if not most cases do absolutely horrific things

unfortunately they often truly believed they were doing the right thing

The point of the play was that Christian people with good intensions

can still do very horrible and damaging things in the name of God The

people who created the Residential Schools did so in the firm belief that

their culture was better than the cultures of Canadarsquos indigenous

peoples Seeing the history through the eyes of Mary left me thinking

how tough it must have been for the nuns Becoming a nun for Mary

did not go in the direction she had envisioned We did not see the

priests or the government officials who instituted and ran the schools

Unseen their controlling presence demonstrated the prejudice and

domination that poisons Mary her fellow Sisters and us This play is a

confession an opportunity to speak the truth about the past so there

may be hope for reconciliation in the future ldquoSistersrdquo reminds us to

pay attention to the things we donrsquot see and to listen for the

silences that repress curiosity and truth-telling By Debbie Kokil

Potatoes Well a Girl Potato and Boy Potato had eyes for each other and got married and had a little Sweet Potato which they called Yam Of course they wanted the best for Yam When it was time they told her about the facts of life They warned her about going out and getting Half-baked so she

wouldnt get accidentally Mashed and get a bad name for herself like Hot Potato and end up with a bunch of Tater Tots Yam said not to worry no Spud would get her into the sack and make a Rotten Potato out of her But on the other hand she wouldnt stay home and become a Couch

Potato either She would get plenty of exercise so as not to be skinny like her Shoestring Cousins When she went off to Europe Mr and Mrs Potato told Yam to watch out for the

Hard-Boiled guys from Ireland the Greasy guys from France called the French Fries and when she went out west to watch out for the Indians so she wouldnt get scalloped Yam said she

would stay on the straight and narrow and wouldnt associate with those high class Yukon Golds or the ones from the Other Side of the tracks who advertise their trade on all the trucks that say

Frito Lay Mr and Mrs Potato sent Yam to Idaho P U (thats Potato University) so that when she graduated shed really Be In the Chips But in spite of all they did for her one day Yam came

home and announced she was going to marry Peter Mansbridge Yes Peter Mansbridge

Mr and Mrs Potato were very upset They told Yam she couldnt possibly marry

Kidney Infection

The kidneys are a pair of bean-shaped organs found along the posterior wall of the abdominal

cavity The left kidney is located slightly higher than the right kidney because the right side of the

liver is much larger than the left side The kidneys unlike the other organs of the abdominal cavity

are located posterior to the peritoneum and touch the muscles of the back The kidneys are

surrounded by a layer of adipose that holds them in place and protects them from physical

damage The kidneys filter metabolic wastes excess ions and chemicals from the blood to form

urine

Kidney infection (pyelonephritis) is a specific type of urinary tract infection (UTI) that generally begins in your urethra or bladder and travels up into your kidneys

A kidney infection requires prompt medical attention If not treated properly a kidney infection can permanently damage your kidneys or the bacteria can spread to your bloodstream and cause a life-threatening infection

Kidney infection treatment usually includes antibiotics and often requires hospitalization

Signs and symptoms of a kidney infection may include

bullFever bullBack side (flank) or groin pain bullAbdominal pain bullFrequent urination bullStrong persistent urge to urinate

bullBurning sensation or pain when urinating bullPus or blood in your urine (hematuria)

bullUrine that smells bad or is cloudy

When to see a doctor

Make an appointment with your doctor if you have any signs or symptoms that worry you Also make an appointment if youre being treated for a urinary tract infection but your signs and symp-toms arent improving

Severe kidney infection can lead to life-threatening complications Seek immediate medical atten-tion if you experience typical kidney infection symptoms combined with bloody urine or nausea and vomiting

If left untreated a kidney infection can lead to potentially serious complications such as

bullPermanent kidney damage Permanent kidney damage can lead to chronic kidney disease

bullBlood poisoning (septicemia) Your kidneys filter waste from your blood and then return your blood to the rest of your body If you have a kidney infection the bacteria can spread as the kid-neys return blood to circulation

On Saturday the 21st of February I had the pleasure of

attending a drama performance entitled ldquoSistersrdquo at the Providence

University College in Otterburne MB Set in Nova Scotia ldquoSistersrdquo is

a tough uncompromising look at a convent-run Native residential

school The play was very thought-provoking not skimming over the

wrongs done through the residential schools in the slightest but telling

the story from the nunsrsquo point of view which is not heard quite as often

The religious people are often demonized in this scenario and though

they did in many if not most cases do absolutely horrific things

unfortunately they often truly believed they were doing the right thing

The point of the play was that Christian people with good intensions

can still do very horrible and damaging things in the name of God The

people who created the Residential Schools did so in the firm belief that

their culture was better than the cultures of Canadarsquos indigenous

peoples Seeing the history through the eyes of Mary left me thinking

how tough it must have been for the nuns Becoming a nun for Mary

did not go in the direction she had envisioned We did not see the

priests or the government officials who instituted and ran the schools

Unseen their controlling presence demonstrated the prejudice and

domination that poisons Mary her fellow Sisters and us This play is a

confession an opportunity to speak the truth about the past so there

may be hope for reconciliation in the future ldquoSistersrdquo reminds us to

pay attention to the things we donrsquot see and to listen for the

silences that repress curiosity and truth-telling By Debbie Kokil

Potatoes Well a Girl Potato and Boy Potato had eyes for each other and got married and had a little Sweet Potato which they called Yam Of course they wanted the best for Yam When it was time they told her about the facts of life They warned her about going out and getting Half-baked so she

wouldnt get accidentally Mashed and get a bad name for herself like Hot Potato and end up with a bunch of Tater Tots Yam said not to worry no Spud would get her into the sack and make a Rotten Potato out of her But on the other hand she wouldnt stay home and become a Couch

Potato either She would get plenty of exercise so as not to be skinny like her Shoestring Cousins When she went off to Europe Mr and Mrs Potato told Yam to watch out for the

Hard-Boiled guys from Ireland the Greasy guys from France called the French Fries and when she went out west to watch out for the Indians so she wouldnt get scalloped Yam said she

would stay on the straight and narrow and wouldnt associate with those high class Yukon Golds or the ones from the Other Side of the tracks who advertise their trade on all the trucks that say

Frito Lay Mr and Mrs Potato sent Yam to Idaho P U (thats Potato University) so that when she graduated shed really Be In the Chips But in spite of all they did for her one day Yam came

home and announced she was going to marry Peter Mansbridge Yes Peter Mansbridge

Mr and Mrs Potato were very upset They told Yam she couldnt possibly marry

Kidney Infection

The kidneys are a pair of bean-shaped organs found along the posterior wall of the abdominal

cavity The left kidney is located slightly higher than the right kidney because the right side of the

liver is much larger than the left side The kidneys unlike the other organs of the abdominal cavity

are located posterior to the peritoneum and touch the muscles of the back The kidneys are

surrounded by a layer of adipose that holds them in place and protects them from physical

damage The kidneys filter metabolic wastes excess ions and chemicals from the blood to form

urine

On Saturday the 21st of February I had the pleasure of

attending a drama performance entitled ldquoSistersrdquo at the Providence

University College in Otterburne MB Set in Nova Scotia ldquoSistersrdquo is

a tough uncompromising look at a convent-run Native residential

school The play was very thought-provoking not skimming over the

wrongs done through the residential schools in the slightest but telling

the story from the nunsrsquo point of view which is not heard quite as often

The religious people are often demonized in this scenario and though

they did in many if not most cases do absolutely horrific things

unfortunately they often truly believed they were doing the right thing

The point of the play was that Christian people with good intensions

can still do very horrible and damaging things in the name of God The

people who created the Residential Schools did so in the firm belief that

their culture was better than the cultures of Canadarsquos indigenous

peoples Seeing the history through the eyes of Mary left me thinking

how tough it must have been for the nuns Becoming a nun for Mary

did not go in the direction she had envisioned We did not see the

priests or the government officials who instituted and ran the schools

Unseen their controlling presence demonstrated the prejudice and

domination that poisons Mary her fellow Sisters and us This play is a

confession an opportunity to speak the truth about the past so there

may be hope for reconciliation in the future ldquoSistersrdquo reminds us to

pay attention to the things we donrsquot see and to listen for the

silences that repress curiosity and truth-telling By Debbie Kokil

damage The kidneys filter metabolic wastes excess ions and chemicals from the blood to form

On Saturday the 21st of February I had the pleasure of

attending a drama performance entitled ldquoSistersrdquo at the Providence

University College in Otterburne MB Set in Nova Scotia ldquoSistersrdquo is

a tough uncompromising look at a convent-run Native residential

school The play was very thought-provoking not skimming over the

wrongs done through the residential schools in the slightest but telling

the story from the nunsrsquo point of view which is not heard quite as often

The religious people are often demonized in this scenario and though

they did in many if not most cases do absolutely horrific things

unfortunately they often truly believed they were doing the right thing

The point of the play was that Christian people with good intensions

can still do very horrible and damaging things in the name of God The

people who created the Residential Schools did so in the firm belief that

their culture was better than the cultures of Canadarsquos indigenous

peoples Seeing the history through the eyes of Mary left me thinking

how tough it must have been for the nuns Becoming a nun for Mary

did not go in the direction she had envisioned We did not see the

priests or the government officials who instituted and ran the schools

Unseen their controlling presence demonstrated the prejudice and

domination that poisons Mary her fellow Sisters and us This play is a

confession an opportunity to speak the truth about the past so there

may be hope for reconciliation in the future ldquoSistersrdquo reminds us to

pay attention to the things we donrsquot see and to listen for the

silences that repress curiosity and truth-telling By Debbie Kokil

On Saturday the 21st of February I had the pleasure of

attending a drama performance entitled ldquoSistersrdquo at the Providence

University College in Otterburne MB Set in Nova Scotia ldquoSistersrdquo is

a tough uncompromising look at a convent-run Native residential

school The play was very thought-provoking not skimming over the

wrongs done through the residential schools in the slightest but telling

the story from the nunsrsquo point of view which is not heard quite as often

The religious people are often demonized in this scenario and though

they did in many if not most cases do absolutely horrific things

unfortunately they often truly believed they were doing the right thing

The point of the play was that Christian people with good intensions

can still do very horrible and damaging things in the name of God The

people who created the Residential Schools did so in the firm belief that

their culture was better than the cultures of Canadarsquos indigenous

peoples Seeing the history through the eyes of Mary left me thinking

how tough it must have been for the nuns Becoming a nun for Mary

did not go in the direction she had envisioned We did not see the

priests or the government officials who instituted and ran the schools

Unseen their controlling presence demonstrated the prejudice and

domination that poisons Mary her fellow Sisters and us This play is a

confession an opportunity to speak the truth about the past so there

may be hope for reconciliation in the future ldquoSistersrdquo reminds us to

pay attention to the things we donrsquot see and to listen for the

silences that repress curiosity and truth-telling By Debbie Kokil
