OLD MAN WINTER

Having recently experienced wind chills of below -30, this “Old Man Winter” just went “brrrrrr” and went back to bed (just kidding). I have to admit, that for someone who has always been pretty good at entertaining myself and otherwise keeping busy, this winter does seem to be more challenging. � e other day, � e Kid, aka “� e Kid who lives here with no bedroom) wanted to go sliding and like many people young or old wanted some company. Since, “Old Man Winter” was already out and about I happily agreed. So for the � rst bit, my primary role was to deliver a good push so that “� e Kid” would get a pretty good slide down the hill. In between slides, I would work on moving some snow around and basically “Grooming” the trail. A� er a while “� e Kid” says “Grumpy, do you want a slide??” Mouth engages well before brain “well of course I want a slide”. So I do an evaluation of the equipment choices that I have .. a shiny new plastic sled from Santa. I can possibly � t into this little sucker, but how do you handle the fallout from busting up the kid”s christmas present. � ere are some crazy carpets... so called because you can grab this sucker, start running and

do a � ying belly � op, hmmm. While I have used these on occasion in the last few years, I � nd it challenging to � t both my length and my width on these � imsy pieces of plastic. � e last choice is a round disk commonly called a saucer with handles but no steering mechanism. So... I plunk my butt onto it, grab the handles, while gingerly trying to tuck my legs into some kind of yoga position, push o� , slide down hill, start going sideways, fall over. Great ride!!! “� e Kid” is asking whether I am OK. A quick evaluation indicates that 911 is unnecessary and so I manage a few more slides, all the while thinking “� ere just has to be something better than this for “Old Man Winter” to slide on, short of equipping my wheelchair with runners. In the mean time, I guess we will all just have to improvise to get through just one more winter. 0001just one more winter. just one more winter. just one more winter.

I am a wife and mother of two daughters who was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in 1994. The condition left me disabled, forcing me to resign from my career in business and accounting. Frustration built as I was spending 20 hours a day in bed. This was the result of chronic pain and fatigue, making my life miserable. Headaches and migraines worsened, only adding to the misery of my pain. While living in Alberta, I found my way to a Natural Health Practitioner which sparked the change of direction for me and my family’s life! Over time, I continued to gain back my freedom from this chronic disease. Additional issues which had affected me throughout my life were allergies, infections, repeated injuries and fatigue. Through treatment, all issues were resolved. Finally, I am living free from pharmaceuticals and disability. Discovering natural health has been life changing for me.

Once healing started, and the journey to health began, I realized that one day I might be able to return to work. It was holistic health that gave me my life back so that I could become a contributing part of society again. Holistic Medicine became my passion, my goal to help others in chronic health situations; dealing with all types of illness and imbalances. I can help others from becoming ill by creating changes in behavior, beliefs and thoughts – early on if defi ciencies and

imbalances are recognized and addressed, more severe illness can be avoided.

During my time studying Dynamic Health and Dynamic Blood with Hahnemann College, I have been taught how to look at my patient as an individual with unique needs and treatment required. Blood cannot lie and shows very powerful information in assisting patients. By looking at the blood under my microscope, I can see the state of health of my patient, while they can also see the concrete evidence in front of them. The human body is very complex and designed for survival. Recognizing what is happening in the body, and the signals being given to help address the specifi c needs, can change the path of the patient’s health. Our bodies are amazing and want to be healthy!

My education gives me the ability to understand the effect of pharmaceuticals, herbs, and natural medicines in the patient’s body. It also gives me the ability to know what defi ciencies have been created. The goal is, as the patient returns to health, that it will be recognized by the medical doctor that the pharmaceuticals are no longer needed; the patient will become healthy and there will be no existing need for them. Part of the process is educating the patient about their body and how regimen and behaviors affect their health. In treatment, a complete history is taken

in order to understand the patient and how their body is functioning. Natural health is for those who are ready to take responsibility for their own actions and the resulting effects on the body.

As a Christian, I have discovered that the strength of God in the healing process is very powerful. My goal is to give patients an improved quality of life, no matter what condition they are suffering from. During the treatment process, I will consider the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual state of my patient, which are all a part of the whole being. Through Journey to Health Inc., I would love to partner with you on your journey to wellness and wholeness.

Your fi rst Health & Nutritional consultation includes a full discussion of health issues & medical history. Your individual health situation will be considered

by looking at your diet, nutritional status, activity level & how your body is actually functioning.

Rather than treating symptoms we will fi gure out what the root cause of your health issues

are and address them in a direct & gentle way.

A Dynamic Blood Analysis can be done on site with a microscope. The client will

see immediately, specifi c information, such as, is enough water being

consumed? Is digestion of fat,

protein & carbohydrates being handled properly? Are organs functioning properly? and much more.At Journey to Health we will look at the results of your Dynamic Blood Analysis and give you a plan of action designed only for you and your individual needs to help get you to a healthier state and feeling better!

JENNY: Is a petite (in other words, as long as she is wide) medium-haired dark tabby with a bushy tail, tu� ed ears and lovely green eyes. She arrived at the Sanctuary on the 30th of June and is now nine months old.In poor shape when rescued - dull coat, thin, full of parasites and very little hair on her tail - she now looks absolutely lovely. Bright eyed, full of con� dence, acts like a little princess as she prances around reminding you she loves attention. Let’s not forget that she also loves to play.

Jenny is ready for a permanent home. Please contact the Sanctuary if you are interested in adopting her.

LIZZIE: Arrived at the Sanctuary in good health. She is a 7 month old tabby kitten with white on her chest and paws. Her eyes are amber color. All to say, a real cutie. She made herself at home as soon as she arrived at the Sanctuary. A� ectionate, great cuddler, purrs at will and is very playful of course; moving toes under the bedsheets are a great target for her to pounce on and attack.If you are interested in adopting Jenny and/or Lizzie, please contact the Sanctuary.

POINT OF VIEW by Diane McMillan

RESOLUTION REVOLUTION

� e month of January is a time of change for many people. When I was young and

foolish, I used to make a list of things I wanted to achieve or change throughout the year. Usually, they centred around weight loss, exercise, travel and saving money. And, more o� en than not, I'd

start out all eager and focused only to tumble o� that wagon – head � rst – a few weeks into the new year. In an e� ort to avoid the inevitable this year, I've silently set a couple of goals for myself and also loudly declared that my resolution is not to make any resolutions. I've started my own resolution revolution. Let's face it, resolving to be better about something – anything – brings with it a lot of pressure to change the way we do things. Judging by the look of my thigh region, no amount of resolution making is going to change the fact that I love chocolate way more than I do working out. I've always had a sweet tooth, and chocolate has always been my sweet treat of choice. At one time, my metabolism was higher than the St. John River in spring time. I could polish o� a row of Ganong Red Wrap Chocolates, and not gain an ounce. Now, well, my metabolism has slowed to a trickle, and my vertically challenged self is no longer a Size 2. It's important to stay active and eat healthy, which I'll strive to do again this year. But, in the spirit of my revolution, here are a few things I'm not going to change in 2015.1. I'm not going to stop eating chocolate - ever! Eating dark chocolate releases serotonin, which is proven to boost your mood. It's true, and it makes me happy.2. I will never like winter. It's too cold and the only thing white that I like to walk on is sand… on a beach!3. I will continue to waste countless hours on Pinterest, organizing all the recipes I may never try and all the renovations I will never do.4. Diet Pepsi will always be a staple in my home, regardless of how bad it is for me. Oh, and I'll also order it with any and all fast food meals. It's because I like the taste, not because I'm counting calories.5. If I didn't have Facebook, my home would be spotless. � ere's always next year.6. Ironing is way over-rated and so is 100 per cent cotton – polyester isn't that bad.7. I'm not going to organize, print, enlarge or place my family photos in albums. � e kids aren't grown yet – plenty of time! Spend the year accepting your true self. Perfect is a bore, so don't apologize for being imperfect and real. 0032

LET THEM STARVE

� ere was quite an uproar recently when a news story out of Winnipeg indicated a woman was being � ned by city Animal Control for feeding stray cats which had taken up residence on a neighbour’s property. � e original reports indicated the woman was told to stop feeding them and let them freeze or starve. Later reports from city o� cials deny that any of their sta� would have said that. � e only people who know for sure are the two individuals who had the conversation. I make no secret of being a cat lover. I have lived with cats all my life, currently three of them. Two of our previous cats have been abandoned or strays, one of which showed up in our Kingston backyard one October (possibly le�

behind when a cottager closed up the place for the winter), the other having been thrown out a car in front a friend’s apartment building in Saint John. A third cat was rescued by Mike and the kids and adopted by a co-worker since we were already at maximum capacity. (Maximum capacity is three, as for every three cats Mikie says he gets a dog . . . and tho’ Jet is lovely dog, one is enough for me.) Had there been feral/stray cats in the area I would most surely have been feeding them and attempting to tame and re-home them. What disturbed me about the story from Manitoba was the polarization of opinions. Letting them freeze or starve was seen as a viable choice by a lot of readers who commented. Since the problem has been created by man, how is it fair that the cats pay the price for our poor choices? Winnipeg alone

estimates they have 50-100,000 feral cats. Where did they come from? � ey did not migrate there from some exotic location. No, they originated from abandoned pets. Deal with the irresponsible pet owners, not with those who are doing their best to assist the victims. “I am in favor of animal rights as well as human rights. � at is the way of a whole human being.” ~ Abraham Lincoln. “� e love for all living creatures is the most noble attribute of man.” ~ Charles Darwin. 0002

By Jaymee Splude - January 2015

Saint John, NB – Locally owned and operated Loch Lomond Mitsubishi has announced that they have broken ground for a multi-million dollar expansion taking place at their home at 1265 Loch Lomond Road in Saint John. Owner/operator Randy Defazio was born here in Saint John, and has been an active member in the auto community for twenty seven years. Although Mitsubishi has been a permanent staple in the auto market in North America since the 70’s, Mitsubishi is only five years new to Saint John, and Mr. Defazio credits a great product and a great community to Loch Lomond Mitsubishis’ outstanding success and growth during the past five years.

“We are enthusiastic about our contribution to the local economy”, says Mr. Defazio, “and thanks to the residents of Saint John, as well as Mitsubishi offering the best warranty in Canada, we have been able to double our growth every year, and have now outgrown our current location.” This expansion was a long time coming, states Mr. Defazio, and appreciates his customer’s patience while they grow.

According to Stats Canada the unemployment rate in Saint John is 8.3% as of September 2014, and Mr. Defazio states that with this ex-pansion his biggest pride is having the opportunity to reduce this number. The expansion will allow Loch Lomond Mitsubishi to increase it’s workforce by 60%. “Being able to create jobs in this city is an honour,” says Defazio, “we are all advocates for the improvement and sustainability of our Renaissance City and it’s surrounding areas. ‘Buy local’ is no longer a slogan, it’s a must in order to regenerate income and to keep the financial flow inside of our community.” Mr. Defazio further notes that all contractors working on this immense project will stem from local businesses.

About Mitsubishi Canada

Originating in 1917, Mitsubishi has continuously made a name for itself in innovation and has since forged as an industry leader in both design and technological advancement. Constantly growing and expanding in automotive enhancements, in recent years Mitsubishi has been applauded for creating the world’s first mass produced electric car, the i-Miev, and in 1990 Mitusbishi won the award for being the first Auto Maker to create an electric car that was able to go 2000kms in 24 hours. In 2008, Mitsubishi announced their new Drive@Earth campaign, pledging to create vehicles that can exist in complete harmony with people, society, AND the environment. The technological advancements conceptualized by Mitsubishi has led the world to enjoy the opportunity to own a 100% electric vehicle that costs approximately $2.24 per charge. Mitsubishi also holds many awards for creating vehicles that place first in their class for fuel efficiency, including sub-compact cars and Crossover Utility Vehicles. Pioneering the advancements to four wheel drive and safety for North Americans, Mitsubishi uses their designers to fill the automotive needs of it’s purchasers here in the great white north, including four wheel drive sedans and coupes, as well as forward mitigation control, lane departure warnings, and adaptive cruise control, allowing the vehicles to slow down on it’s own while in cruise control, adapting to traffic while remaining in ‘cruise’.

Giving Back …. To Canadians

Over the past seven years, Mitsubishi Canada has raised nearly $2 million in support of Right to Play, an organization that uses sports and games to teach local children the life skills they need to overcome the devastating effects of poverty and conflict. A portion of every Mitsubishi Canada retail sale goes to support Right to Play. Loch Lomond Mitsubishi also personally donates at least $10,000 per year to local sports teams, charity races and events, and community driven projects. This year they will offer an ‘oldies car show’ on Fathers’ Day.

Expansion Details

Set to complete in the early months of 2015, Loch Lomond Mitsubishi will remain open in both service and sales during the expansion, and invites the curious to stop by and watch the stages of development. For more information please contact General Manager Fred Chamberlain at 506-634-1765.
