RAVINGS
By Mike Hickey
HeAltHy
I am willing to bet that there are just great big bunches of you
readers who have made some kind of New Years resolution
towards being healthier. Whether it is losing weight, exercising
more, eating healthier or a combination of these, I am sure that
these issues have been on many peoples minds as we thought
about the year to come. In fact with rising obesity and the
increased cost to health care to treat all of the related health
issues that arise from unhealthy weight, it is time to take serious
action.
Your body mass index (BMI) is a measure of body fat based
on height and weight that applies to adult men and women. It is
generally considered that a BMI of 25 and over is indicative of
being overweight and a BMI of 30 and over is obese. During the
Christmas period, due to generous gifs of chocolates, cookies,
alcohol and other goodies, I went from a BMI of under 25 up
into the defnitely pudgy range. Since serious action is needed to
curb our pudgy population, I of cially propose that All citizens
who give high calorie goodies to us innocent residents facing
weight issues ... be lined up and shot!!!!!!!
A bit extreme ... maybe?? With New Brunswick, already fghting
a population issue, wiping out tens of thousands of residents is
probably not a great idea, but I bet it would certainly help out
the unemployment rate.
Perhaps legislation that mandates that ALL gifs of food must
contain at least 95% broccoli or zucchini!! Or, how about, liquor
stores that must check your BMI before allowing a sale!! Sorry,
Buddy, but drop 10 pounds and you can get your case of beer
next time.
Or maybe you could do what the missus and I did and pick
up one of the new video games that
allow players to jump, bend, and
otherwise get a fairly decent workout
during days and nights of bitter cold
or otherwise inclement weather!!
Whatever you decide to do, I
certainly wish you success in
carrying out your healthy agenda for
the coming year. 800

Though it's common to ring in the New Year by making
resolutions for the year, it's far less popular to set goals for the
next 12 months. Resolutions and goals might be similar, but
they're not exactly the same.
When setting goals, men and women are attempting to
develop a plan for the year ahead with the intent of being in a
better place in 365 days. Successful resolutions are typically
far less encompassing. While resolutions are goal-oriented,
men and women often make just one resolution that does not
require a plan so much as some dedication. For instance, a
goal of being more financially secure will require a plan that
must be implemented for it to be a success. A resolution to
quit smoking might involve some advice from health
professionals, but in general it's up to the individual to simply
stop smoking.
When setting goals for the next 12 months, consider the
following tips.
Brainstorm some ideas. Goals should pertain to all aspects
of life, from career goals to personal goals to anything you
want to accomplish around the house. Before setting any
goals, brainstorm as many ideas as possible for each area of
your life. Write these ideas down, no matter how big or small
they might be -- even though you might not decide to pursue
each and every goal you come up with. The purpose of this is
just to get some ideas flowing and to use those ideas as a
foundation.
If two or more ideas are similar, such as losing weight and
eating healthier, then you can combine those later on and
make them one goal to simply be healthier a year from now.
Rank goals by their importance to you. Goals will have
varying degrees of importance, and this can help you to rank
them by which ones you feel are most important. This doesn't
mean you can't accomplish each goal on your list. But
prioritizing goals can make it easier to accomplish them.
A good approach to take is to accomplish a high-priority goal,
then reward yourself by tackling a more lighthearted goal
that's less of a priority. For instance, if one of your biggest
priorities is to install new siding on the house and you
accomplish this goal, then reward yourself by next working on
one of your more fun-oriented goals, such as visiting a water
park or attending a ballgame. Such a balance and reward
system can provide motivation and make for a fun and
productive year to boot.
Setting Goals for the New Year
Establish a time frame. When setting goals with no time
frame in mind, it's easy to procrastinate and downplay the
significance of the goals. When setting goals, establish a time
frame to increase your chances of being successful. For
instance, if you have a goal to save X amount of money over
the next 12 months, give yourself monthly savings markers to
meet. This can help keep you on schedule and ensure you will
achieve your goal come the end of the year.
Give yourself progress reports. As the year goes on,
periodically assess your progress. You might realize some
goals have become bigger priorities while others are no longer
as important, and that's perfectly alright. But once you have
passed the planning stage and started to pursue a goal, track
your progress and stay the course if it's going well. If not,
reconsider your plan and decide if it's best to lay out another
course of action.

Every year, right before the clock strikes 12 on December 31
st
,
people far and wide make resolutions for the new year. There
are some common themes from year to year, with certain
resolutions topping the lists.
Lose weight: Whether they're inspired by goals of healthy
living, the reality of stepping on a scale after holiday dining or
simply because clothes have been a little snug, people often
resolve to lose weight in the year ahead.
Quit smoking: Individuals are feeling increased pressure to
give up the habit due to smoking bans in many buildings and
public spaces. Plus, it's one of the worst things a person can
do for his or her health.
Get fit: In conjunction with losing weight, the overall quest for
physical fitness drives up gym membership numbers every

With the assistance of the Kennebecasis Watershed Restoration

Te proceeds from the breakfast held during the winter carnival
was donated to the Sussex Health Centre Foundation. As well,
we support a donation to the St. Josephs Hospital Foundation
annually and share with Apohaqui ACW and UCW giving a

In such sad but loving
memory of our son,
brother and uncle
Matt:
They said it would get easier
As each day crept slowly by,
I dont think they even realized
They were telling me a lie.
Each day I miss you more, not less
The pain never goes away,
The hurt I feel without you here
Is more than words can say.
A thousand words wont bring you back,
We know because we tried.
And neither will a million tears,
We know because we cried.
We will love you forever, forget you never.
No words can say how much our hearts
are broken to stay.
We love and miss you so much, Matt XXOO

Hon. Rob Moore, P.C, M.P.
As we refect on the past year and enter 2012,
the world economy continues to face serious
economic challenges. As countries around
the world fght growing debts and defcits,
Canada is leading the way in economic
growth and creating jobs. Trough our world
class banking system and the economic stimulus we provided
through the Economic Action Plan, we have the strongest job
creation record in the G7 with nearly 600,000 net new jobs
created since July 2009. Since we formed government in 2006,
the Canadian economy has created over 1.1 million new jobs
with an unemployment rate lower than the United States for the
frst time in three decades. Our government is making targeted
investments that will help Canadian businesses create good
paying jobs for Canadians.
Recently, Forbes magazine ranked Canada as the best place
in the world for businesses to grow and create jobs. Te
International Monetary Fund (IMF) is forecasting Canadas
economy will be among the strongest in the G-7 this year and
next. Also, for the fourth consecutive year, the World Economic
Forum has ranked Canadas banks as the soundest in the world.
Tese are signifcant achievements for Canada for which all
Canadians can be proud.
In order to keep our economy strong and create jobs, our
government will keep taxes low, reduce red tape and promote
Canadas brand as the best place in the world to do business.
With the success of the economic stimulus, our government is
introducing phase two of our Economic Action Plan. Building
on the success of targeted investments like the Tax Fairness Plan
that allowed for income splitting for seniors, the Pension Income
Credit, the Canada Child Tax Credit, and the Home Renovation
Tax Credit, we are introducing new investments to maintain
our economic advantage. Our government has introduced a
Hiring Credit for Small Businesses to help create jobs, a Family
Caregiver Tax Credit, a Volunteer Firefghters Tax Credit and
we have extended the ecoEnergy Retroft Home Program that
will help homeowners make their homes more energy efcient.
Our government will continue to support Canadas economy
through signifcant investments that will have a positive impact
on Canadians and that will deliver real results for Canadian
families.
As we enter the New Year, I would like to wish all Fundy Royal
constituents all the best in 2012. 528

Except, what year is this? I know its 2012 . . . but how did you
just say that. Did you say twenty twelve, or did you say two
thousand twelve? I had this dilemma last year as well and never
did satisfactorily come to a conclusion as to the better way
to say it. On New Years Day I was listening to CBC Radio and
heard exclusively twenty twelve. Ah, CBC has decreed that to
be the correct pronunciation. Until the next day when I heard
another CBC host using two thousand twelve . . . I am going
with twenty twelve regardless, afer all it wasnt one thousand
nineteen hundred and twelve.
It has thus far been an open mild start to the winter so I have not
seen as many birds at the feeders of my back deck as I normally
do. Te cats have been very disappointed! I am still going
through the bird food at a very rapid pace however. Hmmm .
. . that mild open winter part likely has something to do with
that. So when the back yard light went on at 3:00am the other
night, I was out of bed in a fash to see what was happening. As I
suspected, raccoons! No wonder the bird food was disappearing.
I grabbed my robe and headed for the back deck. Where are my
moccasins/slippers? Oh yes, lef them behind at my daughters
(along with the novel I was half-way through but thats another
story). No matter, those raccoons are not getting another meal
at my expense. Out I go on the deck in bare feet. Now this may
well have been a relatively mild winter to date, but not that
night! It was well below freezing and although the deck is wood
it was snappin cold on the toes! Tree raccoons took of in a
hurry with a stick of stove wood encouraging them along! Te
largest, aka Big Mama, was hissing and snarling all the way. It
has been two nights since the great rout and so far no sign that
they have returned. I am sure this is not the end of the war, only
the frst skirmish, unless it stays cold enough for them to den up
til spring. But I do need to get my moccasins back. Brrrr . . .801
