From the Editor-news and notes

I ran away from Lakewood, well I took some time off and went home to Illinois to share in the celebration in one
of several weddings that have occurred since May. I am thrilled to say that one of my young adopted kids Sara
married her lifelong love Alan Haight. She and Alan have been friends since they were 4 yrs old. It took them a
while to get to being Mr and Mrs. But they made it, and made it especially wonderful by having a Disney
themed wedding from The Beauty and the Beast. Her dress was right out of the story. Their invites to their table
settings were Disney themed. It was a wonderful evening.
I had the opportunity to also meet up with an earlier bride (shes another adopted kid) and
groom, Lorraine and Brian. Their wedding was held in August. I was truly sorry I couldnt attend it then seeing as that my real daughter, Melanie, was in her wedding. We all went out for an evening meal and
explored their new apartment. I had hoped to see her new photography studio that she is opening this week in Geneva, IL. Next time before storm chasing season!
The latest bride to be was married on October 29th. My niece Colleen married the man of her dreams, Steve Krug. I
wasnt able to attend her wedding but I have seen many wonderful photos my sister shared of her special
day. She was truly a stunning Irish bride. I heard she did a fantastic job of doing a few Irish dances with
her bridesmaids at her side during her reception at the Irish American Heritage Center.
While going home has taken me about 3 years, I had a wish list of seeing people, places and restaurants
I miss going to. I snuck in a quick new hair doo (cut off 6 inches this time) One of the youngest adopted
kids, Taylor, is now a hairstylist in training, She was afraid to cut off to much. I had to laugh since my
hair was long past my waist when I sat in her chair.
One person who I was excited to see was a girl I knew from my high school years in Chicago, Mary K.
We had so many things to talk about and people to remember from our old neighborhood. Shes working on a
book about the parish, its people, and the places we all knew to be back then.
I hope I dont have to wait another 3 or so more years to get back to our old home stomping grounds. There are
still many people and places to see and do
And the Cubs won game 6 of the World Series now just to win tomorrow night and well end the 100 + yr
drought. GO CUBS GO!!!
In passing; America, and here at home, we have lost many wonderful friends and family. Our thoughts and prayers to
you all. And, to those whose lives were lost in the recent accidents, snowstorms, tornados, fires, floods. and to those
whose lives have been lost to the bombings that have occurred overseas.
Get Well Wishes to all of our friends and neighbors.
UPCOMING EVENTS; See our pages for the wonderful events that are scheduled during the month. Be sure to ck

November 2016. Here we are again. Once again revamping the store to get ready for our big Christmas
extravaganza! It takes over a month to get everything ready and prepared, priced, displayed etc. But I love
it! And anyone who knows me knows that, especially this time of year, if you stop in at FLOWERS GALORE!!!, you will probably walk out sparkling with some sort of glitter. No, I don't throw glitter at my
customers. But there's a lot of glitter and the decor, so I guarantee you sparkle. Although, throwing glitter
at customers could be a good thing. Our Christmas Open House Extravaganza is Saturday, November
26th. It's always on the Saturday following Thanksgiving aka
Small Business Saturday.
Our fall sports have come to an end. Now the kids are either
busy getting ready for the fall play, or getting ready for the upcoming basketball and wrestling season. A big big congratulations to Rhiannon Hooper and Ty Heuer. They both made it to
state in cross country. I hope they realize how proud their entire communities are of them.
Make it a beautiful week everybody. Be kind to one another.

Christmas Heart Tree Serves

the Community
A joint effort by the fine folks at the Christian Pantry and the
Lakewood Supervalu is underway. Located in the Triple Play
Caf inside the Lakewood Supervalu you will find a tiny
Christmas tree festooned with red heart decorations. Each
heart has information regarding a local child participating in
the program. You can choose
the heart child you want to
purchase a gift for, wrap the
gift, please remember to secure the heart to the gift so it
will get to the correct child,
and return it to the Lakewood
Super Value by December
1st. The distribution of the
gifts is taken care of by some
of Santas finest helpers here
in the northwoods.

New This Is Diabetes campaign encourages story sharing to empower people with diabetes and their loved ones,
and to raise the level of urgency about
the need to address diabetes
Every 23 seconds, someone in the United States is diagnosed with diabetes. It's
estimated that one in 11 Americans has
the diseasemore than 29 million peopleand another 86 million have prediabetes and are at risk for developing
type 2 diabetes. The numbers alone are
staggering, and the people affected by
the disease include those who have diabetes and their friends, family, caregivers and communities.
American Diabetes Month, observed
by the American Diabetes Association
(Association) every November, is a
time to focus the nation's attention on
the many people who are affected by
diabetes and to raise the urgency about
the need to address diabetes. To help
spark a national conversation, the Association is asking people to share their
stories about what it truly means to live
with diabetes with a new campaign,
This Is Diabetes.
Throughout November, the Association
encourages everyone to speak up and
spread the word about what diabetes is
really like. The social media campaign
asks them to declare, "This Is Diabetes," to help educate others, break down
stereotypes, correct myths and misunderstandings, and create a sense of urgency about the disease.
"Too often, diabetes goes unnoticed in
our society, but it's a health care crisis
that needs and deserves all of our attention," said Kevin L. Hagan, CEO of the
American Diabetes Association.
"Through this year's theme, This Is
Diabetes, we want to bring more attention to this disease that affects our family members, friends, neighbors and colleagues and show how important it is to
take urgent action to address diabetes
and its devastating complications."
By encouraging the use of the campaign
hashtag, #ThisIsDiabetes, the Association will create an online gallery to amplify the voices of the diabetes community. Participating in this year's campaign is easy. A free, downloadable

sign is available on the campaign websitediabetes.org/admto help people

share their diabetes stories. Participants
simply fill in the blank on the sign, take
a picture or video and post it to their
social media platforms using
#ThisIsDiabetes. Stories can also be
submitted directly through the American Diabetes Month website. By collecting and featuring these stories prominently on the site and its social media
channels, the Association hopes to highlight how people all around us are grappling, often silently, with diabetesand
inspire more people to speak up.
The Association's key campaign components include the personal images
and stories of six people impacted by
diabetes:
Guadalupe, a Mexican American
and former federal government employee in Washington, D.C., who now cares
for his elderly mother living with type 2
diabetes;
Jessica, a Native-American woman
also from Washington, D.C., who was
recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes
and whose family has been affected by
diabetes for several generations;
Julie, a mother from Pittsburgh
who has been living with type 1 diabetes for nearly two decades and spent 10
years trying to find a physician who
would help her have a healthy pregnancy;
Robin and Zamaiah, an AfricanAmerican aunt and niece duo living in
Maryland who work together to manage
their type 2 diabetes and encourage
each other to make healthy choices;
Siani, a college student in Philadelphia who was diagnosed with type 1
diabetes at the age of 10 and is navigating the challenges of managing her
disease while away at college; and
Christina, an Asian-American entrepreneur from Seattle who juggles a hectic
career while taking strides to maintain a
healthy lifestyle and to effectively manage her type 2 diabetes.
These personal testimonials are combined with personal stories from seven
members of Team Tackle, a group of
current and former professional football

players from across the country who are

working with the Association to raise
awareness about diabetes. The featured
Team Tackle members include Sam
Acho (Chicago), Lorenzo Alexander
(Buffalo), Duane Brown (Houston),
Matthew Hatchette (former player),
Dont'a Hightower (New England),
Rashad Jennings (New York) and Aaron Murray (Philadelphia). The collection of video stories will be shared
throughout the month on the campaign
website and on social media.
The Association is pleased to welcome
two national sponsors for American
Diabetes Month 2016, Medtronic Diabetes and National Oral Care Strategic Partner Colgate Total.
"Medtronic is committed to providing
diabetes management solutions to help
people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes
enjoy greater freedom and better
health," said Laura Stoltenberg, vice
president and general manager, NonIntensive Diabetes Therapies at Medtronic. "By sponsoring this year's American Diabetes Month campaign, we
hope to highlight the unique, unmet
needs and challenges of people living
with diabetes and health care providers,
and to raise awareness of solutions that
can help ease the daily burden of this
disease."
"People with diabetes are at increased
risk for developing gum disease. Oral
health is a critical component of diabetes care" said Bill Van de Graaf, vice
president and general manager, U.S.
Oral Care Marketing, ColgatePalmolive. "Colgate Total is proud to
support the This Is Diabetes campaign
to spark a conversation within the diabetes community and raise awareness of
the potential link between oral health
and diabetes."
The national campaign also employs
posters, print ads, social media messages, graphics and local awareness events.
More information is available on the
This Is Diabetes campaign website,

A Word or Two From Dr. Adam

Nutrition Advice for a Healthy New You
What Can You Do?
Lifestyle Changes

Exercise at least 20 to 30 minutes three or four days a week.

Eat out more sparingly. Food preparation methods in restaurants often involve high amounts-and the
wrong types-of fat and sugar.
Brown-bag your lunch to control your fat and sugar content while adding nutritious fruits, vegetables, and
grains.
Limit your intake of alcohol and quit smoking. Drinking alcohol excessively and/or smoking hinder your
body's ability to absorb nutrients from your food.
Dietary Changes
Eat more raw foods. Cooking and canning destroys
much of the nutrition in foods. With the exception of
canned tomatoes, which can help prevent prostate cancer,1 fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables always have
more natural vitamins and minerals.
Select organically grown foods when possible, because they have lower amounts of toxic elements, such
as pesticides and heavy metals.
Consume 25 to 30 grams of fiber a day. Wholegrain breads and cereals, beans, nuts, and some fruits
and vegetables are good sources of fiber. High-fiber
diets can help prevent digestive disorders, heart disease, and colon cancer.
Drink eight to ten 8-ounce glasses of water a day.
Coffee, tea, soft drinks, and alcohol are dehydrators.
Don't substitute them for water.
