Out with the old and in with the new. Happy New Year!
I wish everyone a happy and healthy New Year. Make it the best year ever because its time for a new beginning. Here are a few
resolutions we all should make: Be more awesome than you were last year. Make more time for family and friends. Dont be so
busy making money that you forget to make a life. Enjoy life more. Learn something new. Fight for what is right. Rise above the
negative. Move forward. Do the right thing.etc. etc.
Take a step back from your life and your issues and take a good look at what is in front of you. Take a breath and just BE. If something you are doing makes you feel stressed, negative or badstop to refocus and then move forward away from that situation. Do
what makes you happy and do what makes you a better person.
Back by popular demand I will once again report on school board meetings. I have had so many people ask me to keep writing
about the meetings. They like to know whats going on.
I was at the December school board meeting and as much as I think everything is going much better with our schools and our board
since the last election, one of the items they discussed has me in shock. The discussion about the exit interviews conducted with
teachers who have resigned was one topic of discussion. These exit interviews are a good feedback to our board on why teachers
leave our district. Its a good reflection piece to see what we can do better as a district. Our board hired a 3 rd party to conduct exit
interviews. This company questions multiple teachers leaving, and compiles a summary of the ones interviewed. Board member Jim
Smith, asked for the raw data received (meaning he didnt want a sugar coated summary, he wants to know their actual answers).
Im not sure why this had to go to a vote, why not let those who want to see the detailed report see it and the other ones read the
summary? Jim Smith and Joan Sackett voted to receive a detailed report while all other members voted against it. One board member said I dont want to see that information, with another one saying he doesnt need to see it. Im not judging or being negative,
but why would a board member not want to see the details on why our teachers keep leaving? Im sure this will upset some board
members because its not painting the perfect picture, but I am simply reporting the facts from the board meetings. I videotape all
meetings in order to report on them honestly and properly.
Did you know school board elections are coming up again? I have often thought that if I didnt coach sports, I could report news
without a filter and without worry of offending anyone, and maybe get more into politics. Hmmm, definitely something to think
about.
More school news: A big THANK YOU to Debbie Fronek and
her awesome photography skills. Debbie attends many games and
posts tons of pictures to Rebel Sports page on Facebook. She does
a fantastic job of trying to get pics of everyone. As a parent, I appreciate her efforts and talent. Thank you so much Debbie!
Make it a beautiful month everyone!

UPDATE: Third month in the city and still the dogs and cats havent become acclimated to its eclectic charm.
None of the pets are used to constant police, fire and ambulance sirens, the shrill noon whistle that sounds like an air raid warning, musical church bells, big trucks that rumble past shaking the house to its
foundation, early morning garbage trucks throwing trash cans around,
drive-by teens that blare their music at an unholy decibel late into the
evening hours and neighborhood dogs that bark at anything that
moves.
The dogs as well as, the cats have taken to pacing restlessly all night,
which tends to keep
all of us up and too tired to motivate come daylight.
I added the cost per bingo per game, since last year, a few
participants remarked they thought the price of each game
card would be $.25 per game, like the Am. Legion charges
during Labor Day Mon. We are into fund raising to keep our
programs going at our Library, so we decided to charge a bit
more. The day was successful last Feb. 15, 2015, too.
Ive noticed that one cant really even see the stars very well in the
night sky because of the bright city lights. Will I ever see the Northern
Lights again and still no wildlife to watch. Even the rabbits, crows and
squirrels are magically gone with our first good snowfall.
Here in the city homeowners have 24 hours to clear the snow and ice
off the sidewalks in front of their houses. I was pleasantly surprised to
see that everyone seemed to come out as a group to accomplish this
feat and helped each other complete their daunting tasks.
It actually became similar to a block party with the men using the snow
blowers, the women manning the shovels and the kids throwing snowballs and building snowmen
with the overflow of icy supplies. It would have been more fun if we
werent all throwing the snow back and forth on each others front
yards. Theres just no place t go with it when the houses are so close
together.
One silver lining are the city owned blue, plastic trash cans on each
street corner filled with a sand/salt mixture that anyone can partake of
for the sidewalks in front of their houses or businesses. They are kept
filled on a weekly basis.
On the pro side of living in the city is an elderly gentleman with
challenges that delivers the free morning paper three times a week.
As he pulls his little red wagon through all sorts of inclement weather
past your house he throws the paper on your front stoop. Im told hes
been doing his job for many, many years hence his spot on aim. It never fails to end up right in front of our door and always at the same time
of day. I wish he delivered the mail too!
Ive taken to greeting him now and again on his rounds. He has such a
sweet smile I swear he could bring out the sunshine.
See you again next month.

Dont worry, winter will come. When it does, some tips will keep your four legged furry friends from
being harmed during our winter months, if it ever comes. We all use some type of ice/snow melt on our
driveways and front steps. That ice
melt can cause harm to our furry
friends foot pads if left on. Try to limit
them from walking on the ice melt
stuff. If they do have to walk through
it, make sure to check and see if it
causing them irritation. Look for redness. Also, if your furry friend is licking their paws, it could be caused from
the ice melt. The licking also could be
that their paws have been cold too long
or they have frost nip or frost bite. If
unsure, a call to your Veterinarian is in
order. They can also get frost nip or
frost bite on their skin just like we can.
Sure, they have a fur coat on, hehe, but
the icy winter winds can still hurt them.
A little TLC can go a long way so our
four legged furry friends can enjoy
winter as much as we do, if it ever
comes.
UPDATE : look out your window. Winter has arrived. Woohoo. Another worry though. Most lakes have
JUST froze over. Dont let your four legged furry friends go out on these lakes yet. The ice is unstable
and thin. Us two legged animals should heed the conditions too. Everyone be safe and have fun.
The greatest majority of primary headaches are associated with muscle tension in the neck.. Today, Americans engage in more sedentary activities than they used to, and more hours are spent in one fixed position or posture. This can increase joint irritation and
muscle tension in the neck, upper back and scalp, causing your head to ache.
What Can You Do?
The ACA suggests the following:
If you spend a large amount of time in one fixed position, such as in front of a
computer, on a sewing machine, typing or reading, take a break and
stretch every 30 minutes to one hour. The stretches should take your head
and neck through a comfortable range of motion.
Low-impact exercise may help relieve the pain associated with primary headaches. However, if you are prone to dull, throbbing headaches, avoid
heavy exercise. Engage in such activities as walking and low-impact aerobics.
Avoid teeth clenching. The upper teeth should never touch the lowers, except
when swallowing. This results in stress at the temporomandibular joints
(TMJ) the two joints that connect your jaw to your skull leading to
TMJ irritation and a form of tension headaches.
Drink at least eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day to help avoid dehydration,
which can lead to headaches.
What Can a Doctor of Chiropractic Do?
A doctor of chiropractic may do one or more of the following if you suffer from a
primary headache:
