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

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
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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
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

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

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

No safety glasses or hearing protection

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

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

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

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

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

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

Keeping a Sharp Mind In Retirement
As we slowly move through our retirement years
we need to keep ourselves occupied

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
(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

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

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

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

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

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
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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
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

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

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

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

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

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

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
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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
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

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)

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
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

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

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

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
