Donna Rae Sunday, February 1, 2015, I am listening to CBC radio as Richard Shames, the Chief Medical Officer for Ontario is being interviewed about the flu shots. To my surprise, he takes an honest, controversial stance on the fact that they have not found flu shots to be as effective as they had hoped. Many years ago they were thinking they would be 80-90% effective but they are finding that some years they are only 10% effective, and in the best year, only 50% effective and he feels the average effectiveness is 20-30%. In Canada we don't have a good reporting system to gather evidence, but the Center for Disease Control in the U.S. does collect data and is suggesting getting a flu shot yearly is actually offering less protection. Mr. Shames also says that the reports of how many deaths flu cause each year is not really accurate. Most get the flu for a few days and recover, but if you are already in poor health with respiratory troubles and weakened immunity, then the added influenza might be 'the straw that broke the camel's back so to speak' (my words). He suggests that in December, the height of flu season, that we stay away from people, thereby avoiding potential contact. Unfortunately he did not stress that another method of handling the flu is to build up a person's immunity, or to learn to use alternative medicine instead of antibiotics and drugs. Health Canada says it is disappointed in how many get the shots. When I see clients at our clinic I always ask them if they got their flu shot and a great percentage of them say no, they won't do that because they tried it once and felt they were sicker from the shot than if they had the flu. I have always said that I am not against vaccines and flu shots, only that we haven't been successful in making them effective and safe. I have children visit that I see that get the measles even though they have had the measles shot, and we have been told the pneumonia shot has been unsuccessful over and over again, and I hear horror stories from people as to their experiences and their children's experiences after having a vaccine shot. I myself took the scarlet fever vaccine as a child and within hours came down with scarlet fever which almost took my life - I was the only one to get the shot in the family and I was the only one to get scarlet fever! It is thought that much of our immune disorders now could stem back to when they used the rhesus monkey as the incubator for the DPT shot, only to find the rhesus monkey carries retrovirus. If you do your research on vaccines you will find we are still in the initial baby steps of understanding viruses and microbes. The safest way to avoid dying from the flu, is to keep yourself healthy and robust. How boring right!

Kissing is a breeze. Just watch this devious couple. Director Myrna Ironside chose the play for its humour and because it suited an enjoyable dinner theatre. The author, Nathan Hartswick of Vermont, has written several plays, as well as many stories for children and young people. This play has been performed only two other times in Canada, once in a hamlet in Saskatchewan, and once in St. Bonaventure Jr. High School in Calgary. Now Myrna is bringing this delectable comedy to the Medicine Hat Lodge Ballroom. You will be able to satisfy your desire for a murder mystery, for comedy, and for food. You will also be able to take a stab at guessing who killed poor Maria. But remember not to weep because, as Bottom said in A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Pyramus and Thisbe do not really die. You can shake hands with Bev Botter and congratulate her on her impersonation of a murder victim when you’ve finished your dessert. The Firehall Theatre crewmembers are never seen, but they are like the bass line in music and support all. When you attend on any of the days above, you will see the fine work they’ve done and their names in the credits. Tickets are available through the Medicine Hat Lodge.

A study by the Prairie Agricultural Machinery Institute shows that radio frequency identification (RFID) tag retention rates drop if they are applied when cold. Retention is lower even if cold tags are warmed up before application. Exposure to freezing temperatures reduces their strength. “Keep the tags in your pocket until right before you apply them,” said PAMI project lead Joy Agnew. She said researchers believe new tags that are frozen at any time before application develop small fissures or fractures, making them more likely to fall out or break once in an animal’s ear. RFID tag use is a requirement for national traceability policies, and the Canadian Cattle Identification Agency tests and approves various brands for readability and retention. PAMI conducted enhanced tests to obtain more information for better retention. The temperature findings are not necessarily a surprise to ranchers, although confirmation is useful. “Everybody knows if you’re tagging in cold weather, you throw them on the dash of the truck and turn the heater up and keep them warm,” said Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association chair Mark Elford. He heads an ongoing CCIA study on tag retention prompted by numerous producer complaints about lost tags and the problems it creates with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. Among CCIA requirements is that tags must require no more than 100 pounds of force to correctly insert in cattle ears. “When inserted in the warm, all of the tags met that requirement, but when inserting in the cold, it was harder to insert every single one of them, and the average insertion force in the cold was over 120 lb.,” Agnew said. PAMI also tested the force required to break a tag and pull it apart and is examining the effect of pneumatic tag applicators on retention rates. Six types of RFID tags were tested using either cattle ears obtained from slaughter plants or equivalent material. Sufficient ears were not available for the thousands of tests required. CCIA tests the tensile strength of tags, meaning the force required to pull the front button from the back portion. PAMI tested that as well as sheer and impact force. “The tags are weaker in sheer than they are in tension, but the forces required to break the tags are still well above the thresholds set by the CCIA for both cold and warm inserted tags,” said Agnew. Research also showed that force beyond 70 lb. per sq. inch has an effect. “Any force on the tag that could potentially make the hole (in the ear) bigger, or anything that can generate an impact force of more than 70 lb. can cause trouble,” she said. “That’s where we’re finding where most of the ears are ripping, is around the 70 or 75 lb. impact force.” Repeated tugging, which might occur if cattle are grazing in bushy areas or banging their ear tags against feed bunks, could result in larger ear holes, which increases the chance for loss. Some brands of RFID tags are more susceptible than others to ripping through ears because they stretch to form a thin wire that slices through cartilage. PAMI advises producers not to mix and match tag brands. The front and back of the tag should be the same brand, and the applicator should be suited to that brand. Agnew said PAMI may have recommendations for tag manufacturers once studies are complete, but the main goal is to provide producers with useful information. “We still maintain that if the best management practices are followed, then tag retention should be in that 90 to 95 percent retention range,” Agnew said. Jim Lynch Staunton, a cow-calf producer from Lundbreck, Alta., said he has few problems with tag retention. “If you put them in the place where they’re supposed to be put in the calf’s ear, they stay in, so if people are having problems, they’re not applying them properly,” he said. “The issue I’ve had a lot more than retention is whether or not they read.” RFID tags can be read with a wand, but Lynch Staunton said older ones can present problems because of wear. ~www.producer.com Protein weight Exclusive to Reflections Medispa loss. ® Lose 2-4 lbs a week I lost 60 lbs Take the years back and I will be Look & Feel Your Best your coach!

Say goodbye to lackluster interiors as here are forecasted top trends for 2015 that will be sure to enhance and revive any home. Deep, rich hues Be bold with shadowy and opulent tones; there are many ways to infuse a rich color scheme into your space. Don't be intimidated by dark hues. Incorporate shades from the same color family throughout a room with a coordinating accent wall, rug and decorative pieces - such as pillows and blankets. This creates a bold, yet harmonizing visual. The concept of a 'pop' of color is blown up in 2015. We're seeing deep, rich hues adorning walls, lavishly upholstered furniture pieces, window treatments and area rugs. This year, we like to say 'go bold or go home.' When painting with deep colors, imperfections are more visible than with lighter shades. To ensure your painting project is flawless, use painter's tape to achieve sharp paint lines. Gallery walls Create a room that's uniquely yours by making a gallery wall with items of your choice. Display an array of mirrors, framed family photos, sketches or even postcards - the key is to be creative and be yourself! 2015 is all about you. Hanging a variety of frames or objects in a well thought-out cluster on the wall provides the perfect place to showcase pieces that are important and meaningful. When people walk into your home, they'll know exactly what you love. Bold patterns in neutral colors Although neutrals provide a calm palette, it's possible to infuse bold statements into these rooms, as well, with the use of pat- terns. Revitalize your room with a geometric rug in an earth tone, and also add window treatments with a daring floral design in a complementary, yet understated, color. When mixing prints, pair structured, linear patterns with organic ones for a look that's polished, and not too "matchy." This is a beautiful way to add drama and what appears to be 'texture' to a space. 60s mod The retro panache of mid-century modern decor will perk up rooms with Toll Free 1-877-582-4211 1229 South Railway St., Medicine Hat, AB 2010 LINCOLN TOWN 2013 FORD EXPLORER CAR SIGNATURE LIMITED XLT AWD, auto, leather, heated seats, air, tilt, cruise, PW, PL, PM, Pseats, alloy wheels, factory warranty, was $35,995 $33,999 YEAR END CLEARANCE 2008 FORD F350 CREW CAB 4X4 Come and visit the Sunshine Home and Garden Show Booth 204 Featuring The Home Centre for all your renovations, home building, decor, real estate and storage needs The Outdoor Living Section Move your living space outdoors The Food Alley refuel and get your favorite treats at the Food Alley Children’s Activity Centre Summer Fun Section Healthy Lifestyle Door Prizes PLUS Prizes, Prizes, Prizes...

Search for vintage furniture pieces like rounded chairs and button-cushion couches with short, tapered legs to add a sense of authenticity. We are going retro mod - way back to the 60s where design was about curvy forms, vibrant colors and eccentric patterns. Be prepared to leave your design fears at the door and go full throttle with the bright and loud elements found in the mod movement. Organic elements This year, mount antlers above your mantel; or create centerpieces with shells, metallic leaves or branches for a rustic vibe. With these earthy components juxtaposed against woodsy furniture and ivory tones, you'll create an impressive, outdoorsy aesthetic. It's easy to bring nature and organic structures into your home. Leave linear styles out of the equation. Instead, think of free flowing shapes, colors found in nature and the peaceful serenity associated with the outdoors. The goal is to evoke the same emotional responses throughout your home. Copper Each year we see a particular metal rise to the top of every designer's list; and this year, it's all about copper. Copper is a captivating metallic that adds a modern edge to even the simplest scheme. Small pieces make a big statement, so subtly pepper in copper pieces to your decor, like light fixtures, planters or table settings. Display copper cookware in your kitchen - it's a great way to add a touch of glamour without being gaudy. www.baigentsautosales.com A family business providing full denture services, including immediate and partial dentures.

Visit The Ultimate Classified Website At www.shoppergroup.com THE MEDICINE HAT SHOPPER, Regional Publication Month of February 2015, Page 3 Body Condition Scoring Body condition scoring is a hands-on method of determining the amount of fat an animal is carrying. It uses a numerical rating system based on the feel of a cow rather than descriptions based simply on a visual appraisal. Condition scores are measured by feeling for fat cover with your hands. The scores cannot be measured visually because a full hair coat can hide poor condition. You measure the fat cover over four major locations on the animal's body: back bone (spine or topline), short ribs, hip bones (hooks and pins) and tail head. The system uses the following descriptions to define each score: Score 1: The individual short ribs are fairly sharp to the touch and there is no fat around the tail head. The hip bones, tail head and ribs are visually prominent. Score 2: The short ribs can be identified individually when touched but feel rounded rather that sharp. There is some tissue cover around tail head and over the hip bones and the flank. Individual ribs are no longer obvious. Score 3: The short ribs can only be felt with firm pressure. The areas on either side of the tail head now have a degree of fat cover, which can be easily felt. Score 4: Fat cover around tail head is evident as slight "rounds" that are soft to the touch. The short ribs cannot be felt even with firm pressure, and folds of fat are beginning to develop over the ribs and thighs of the animal. Score 5: The bone structure is no longer noticeable and the animal has a "blocky" appearance. The tail head and hip bones are almost completely buried in fat and folds of fat are apparent over the ribs and thighs. The short ribs are completely covered by fat and the animal's mobility is impaired by the large amounts of fat. Where To Condition Score: Because there is no muscle between the end of the short ribs and the skin, any padding felt by the thumb will be fat. There are two main areas to check in order to determine condition score; the short ribs and on either side of the tail head. The tail or pin bones can also be checked to determine fat cover. When To Condition Score: Ideally cows should be condition scored three times in each production year as follows: 1.Fall pregnancy check/start of winter feeding season = Optimum score is 3.0 2.At Calving = Optimum score for Mature Cows is 3.0 & First Calf Heifers is 2.5 3.Thirty days before breeding season = Optimum score is 2.5 for all females. Easiest & Cheapest Time of Year to Put Body Condition Back On To Cow: • Want to put on condition when the cows energy requirements are at the lowest point, which is typically in the fall time just after the calf has been weaned. • Cow no longer has an energy demand from lactation and is fairly early on in gestation = Low Energy Requirements. • Any additional energy you put into her ration either in the form of grain or good quality forage or pasture will be converted fairly efficiently into back fat or body condition. • The cost of gain at this point will be significantly less that it would be at any other time of year (i.e.) Near or after calving or during lactation when the cows energy requirements are much higher will require allot more feed to get the same results in body condition gain. What To Remember: • You don't need to remember all five condition scores. The most useful score to remember and to shoot for in terms of a goal is the score of 2.5 to three. • Check short ribs, tail head and pin bones for fat cover. • 2.5 - 3.0 - You should be able to feel short ribs with some pressure, but you should not be able to count them individually. Fat cover should be evident on either side of tail head and/or over pin bones. • If condition has to be put back onto cows, best time of year to do it is on fall after calf has been weaned. ~www.agriculture.gov.sk.ca 12th Annual ANGUS BULL SALE SATURDAY, MARCH 28, 2015 • 1:00PM WE OFFER FREE F DELIVERY O YOUR BULL BALOG COW PALACE - LETHBRIDGE, AB.

Unfortunately, driving while fatigued is common in today's business world. Yet the consequences of driving when you're tired can be tragic. Drowsiness is similar to alcohol in how it compromises driving ability by reducing alertness and attentiveness, delaying reaction times, and hindering decision-making skills. Drowsy driving is deadly, but it can be prevented. Drivers should make it a daily priority to get sufficient sleep, refuse to drive when sleepdeprived, recognize the signs of drowsiness, and pull off the road to a safe location when sleepy. Rolling down the windows or turning up the music will do little to increase your alertness while driving.You can drink coffee for a short-term energy boost, but if you catch yourself drifting into other lanes or nodding off, it's absolutely time to pull over and take a nap. Getting seven to nine hours of nightly sleep is the best way to prevent drowsy driving. Drivers should also avoid driving late at night or alone, and they should share the driving with another passenger on long trips. How do you know if you're too sleepy to drive? If you experience any of these warning signs, you should pull over or have another pas- senger take the wheel: • You keep yawning or are unable to keep your eyes open. • You catch yourself "nodding off" and have trouble keeping your head up. • You can't remember driving the last few miles. • You end up too close to cars in front of you. • You miss road signs or drive past your turn. • You drift into the other lane of traffic. • You drift onto the "rumble strip" or onto the shoulder of the road. Cities should encourage transportation companies to promote public safety by adhering to hours-of-service regulations, scheduling work shifts based on sleep need and circadian timing, implementing an evidence-based fatigue management system, and screening commercial drivers for sleep diseases such as obstructive sleep apnea. There is no substitute for healthy sleep - it's essential to promote personal safety and optimal alertness behind the wheel. Evaluate your sleep habits, address potential problems with a boardcertified sleep specialist, and make sleep a priority to protect yourself, your passengers and other drivers from avoidable, life-threatening accidents caused by drowsiness. Tips to make the daily drive easier for commuters (BPT) - It's a tough job driving to work - just ask the millions of people who commute every day. The key to driving to work is getting there on time and that means having a trustworthy vehicle that's in tip-top shape. Tires are often overlooked but they should be a priority. They have an enormous effect on braking, steering, comfort, handling and fuel efficiency because tires are the only parts of a car or truck that actually touch the road. Commuters would be surprised at how today's high-tech tires can help drive down the costs of driving.There are so many new, innovative technologies, such as the use of orange oil in our tires, which saves drivers money either by having tires that last longer or tires with increased fuel efficiency. However, no matter how much technology tires pack these days, nothing can take the place of proper maintenance in getting the most out of them. No matter what your daily commute is, the more driving you do, the more you should check your tires regularly, especially the air pressure. By keeping the right tire pressure, you can begin cut- Sun City Automotive ting down on your annual fuel costs, which will pay dividends. Tires that are under-inflated by 8 pounds per square inch can reduce vehicle fuel economy by as much as 2 percent. For the best gas-saving results, take five minutes each month and check your tire pressure. It is recommended to check tires when they are cold (at least four hours after the vehicle has been driven). Check tire pressure with a reliable tire gauge and make sure the valve stems have a plastic or metal cap to keep out dirt, water and foreign objects.

You can get your tires balanced at the same time as your regularly-scheduled rotation. • Rotating your tires will also prevent uneven wear and promote a better ride. Because the weight distribution on your car or truck can vary, it's best to rotate your tires a few times a year, such as every time you get your oil changed. • Check tire alignment once a year. Misaligned tires create unnecessary tire wear and higher fuel consumption. • Tires must be replaced when the tread is worn down to 2/32 of an inch (the lowest legal limit) to prevent skidding and hydroplaning. Best to replace before 2/32 depending on your drive. Winter traction and wet traction start getting compromised well before 2/32. • Checking tread depth: place a penny upside down into a tread groove. If part of the Queen's head is covered by the tread, you're driving with the proper amount of tread. If you can see all of her head, you should buy a new tire.

The Story of Rugs High-quality rugs can be found in almost any price range. And nothing can improve the way a room looks as quickly. But there are imitations out there, so RugStudio created this quick course in the rugs of the world, with tips you should keep in mind. And we hope you'll keep this in mind as well: no one knows more about rugs than we do. It is impossible to say exactly when the art of rug making began. Unlike sculptures, pottery and other artifacts, rugs are made of perishable materials. But we do have pictorial evidence of the weaver's art going back at least 3,000 years. The techniques have changed very little in all this time.Weavers still use CHECK US OUT ON: pinterest.com/floorsfirst twitter.com/floorsfirst houzz.com/pro/floorsfirst HUGH AREA RUG INVENTORY CLEARANCE Over 130 quality rugs available.

And the process still involves a skilled weaver sitting at a loom, knotting the rug by hand. Two types of knots are traditionally used in weaving. The single Senneh knot is generally found in eastern rug weaving countries, while the double Ghiordes knot is used in western regions. Either style allows weavers to create the intricate patterns that give oriental rugs their beauty and exceptional durability. It takes just 2 seconds for a skilled weaver to tie each knot. But even at this pace, it can take days to weave a single rug, as row after row of knots are tied, pounded into place, and trimmed. Today, many rugs are made by machine or by hand-tufting.When made of high-quality materials, they look and feel very much like hand-knotted rugs. The main benefit is that they are more affordable. Over the centuries, each rug weaving area has developed motifs that are typical of the people of that region. For example, the Herati, a small round rosette surrounded by feathery leaves, probably originated in the town of Herat in northwest Afghanistan. It symbolizes the small fish that come to swim in the moon's reflection. The paisley design often found in neckties originated in Persia as the boteh design. Some think the boteh came to Persia from the ancient Egyptian symbol for wheat, which symbolized immortality. Likewise, regions come to be associated with certain color schemes, like the sky-blue color found in the rugs of Qum which is said to be inspired by the blue rooftops of the holy city. Rugs have served many purposes over the centuries, from the mundane to the religious. But that is part of their magic -- that this one art form can serve so many purposes. Perhaps that is why they have cast so strong a spell over people.

It is a great time to celebrate all the different meanings of ‘love’ and it is also a reminder to all of us during Heart Month to continue to, or to start to, make “heart healthy” choices in our everyday life. I have a few suggestions on how to enjoy the special meaning of Valentine’s Day while ensuring you are a healthy Valentine. Treat yourself and loved ones to a healthy meal that includes fruits and vegetables, combined with foods that are low in fat and salt. Limit the number of sweet treats you indulge in, knowing that nutrition plays an essential role in maintaining overall health. Engage in an activity that encourages physical fitness. Weather permitting, perhaps go on a stroll in the park with a loved one. Regular physical activity can help control your weight and also reduce your risk of heart disease and some cancers.

Love and laughter are surely soul mates. It may be tough sometimes to find something to make us laugh each day, but if we enjoy what makes us smile and are grateful for the good things in our lives, laughter will often follow. Start with yesterday or earlier today: what occurrence in your day either made you grateful or smile in your heart. Once you’ve found your smile, share it and enjoy the smiles you receive in return. In February, we also acknowledge Family Day, which will be on Monday, February 16th. This is another day that pulls at the heart strings. It is a statutory holiday, so we have a long weekend to plan something special with the family or those who are our chosen family. This is a new holiday, so now is when you can create a unique activity that your children, grandchildren or great-grandchildren can enjoy and talk about in the years ahead, creating a new family tradition. Whether you are enjoying Valentine’s Day with your special sweetheart, reminiscing about your Valentine or creating a special Family experience, keep both your romantic and physical heart in mind. February is the month we can love and laugh, live with passion, think hearthealthy and put our hearts into everything that we do. At The Wellington, it’s heartwarming to see so many family members visiting our residents. Some visitors are laden down with bouquets of flowers, others with sweet treats for their loved ones to enjoy (within reason!). Home is where the heart is and The Wellington is a welcoming community, a great place to call home, in a convenient location. The Wellington provides affordable peace of mind for residents and their families.
