LIGHTSIDE
During World War 2, a soldier arrived at the city but found all hotel rooms taken. He begged the desk clerk for anything. The hotel clerk said he had a double, there was a navy guy in it, but persons in rooms next to him said he snored so loud it was hard to sleep.
The soldier agreed to take it. When the soldier came down for breakfasts the manager asked, “How did you sleep”? “Great” replied the soldier. “No problem with the other guy snoring all night”? Asked the manger.
“No I shut him up in no time,” replied the soldier. “How did you manage that?” asked the manager.
“Well he was in bed snoring away when I walked into the room, so I gave him a kiss on the check” explained the soldier. “Then I whispered in his ear ‘goodnight beautiful’, and he sat up all night watching me.”

BE PREPARED
"Power outages can occur at any time of the year and it often takes from a few hours to several days for electricity to be restored to residential areas," said USDA Under Secretary for Food Safety Dr. Richard Raymond. "Foods stored in freezers and refrigerators can become unsafe in just a few hours if bacteria begin to grow and if these foods are consumed, people can become very sick."
Steps to follow to prepare for a possible weather emergency:
Keep an appliance thermometer in the refrigerator and freezer. An appliance thermometer will indicate the temperature in the refrigerator and freezer in case of a power outage and help determine the safety of the food.
Make sure the freezer is at or below 0° F and the refrigerator is at or below 40° F.
Freeze containers of water for ice to help keep food cold in the freezer, refrigerator or coolers after the power is out.
Plan ahead and know where dry ice and block ice can be purchased.
FOOD INFORMATION
Squeaky Clean
WARNING: DO NOT MIX BLEACH AND AMMONIA TOGETHER, THE FUMES CAN BE DEADLY.
Germs and kitchen are like a married couple, always close by.
Germs really love the kitchen, especially sponges, dishcloths and
sinks. You can disinfect all three by soaking sponges, and
dishcloths for 5-10 minutes in the sink in a solution of ¾ cup
Clorox Regular Bleach and one gallon of water. Rinse with clean
water and let dry.
You can use the same solution to disinfect food spills, refrigeration, door handles.
Touching surfaces that have germs on them, such as faucets, can
spread bacteria, cutting boards, tables, phones, light switches,
anything touched by humans, animals.
With the warning that consumption of red meat in large quantity is unhealthy, many people have taken to poultry.
However Chicken, turkey and other poultry accounted for 17 per cent of the food-borne illness outbreaks reported to the United States health authorities. Beef and leafy vegetables were close behind, at 16 per cent and 14 per cent respectively.
Salmonella and other kinds of bacteria caused about half of the outbreaks, the CDC said. Viruses – like nor virus – caused about 40 per cent, mushroom toxin or other chemical agents were blamed for seven per cent. Parasites accounted for one per cent.
SIMPLE RULES for good health
Eat fruits, vegetables, and whole grain.
Stay away from white sugar, white flour, and white bread. The saying goes “if its white don’t bite”.
LIVER DISEASE
One of the leading cause of liver disease in the USA and Canada is not alcohol, nor hepatitis.
Acetaminophen is the problem. Tylenol has the ingredients’ along with other pain killing drugs. Some pain killing drugs have ibuprofen, (Advil, Motrin 1B) which can cause blood pressure, hard on the stomach, liver and kidneys, when used long term. Always check with your Doctor.
After about 15 years, Health Canada has come out with a new Food Guide.
Some recommendations are;
Eat at least one dark green and one orange vegetable each day.
Vegetables, fruit with little or no added fat, sugar, salt.
Have vegetables and fruit more often then juice.
Make half your grain products whole grain each day Choose grain products that are lower in fat, sugar or salt.
Drink skim, 1%, or 2% milk each day.
Select lower fat milk alternatives.
Have meat alternatives such as beans, tofu often.
Eat at least 2 Food Guide Servings of fish each week.
Select lean meat with little or no added fat or salt.
Recall lists
Given the investigation into the outbreak is ongoing, it's best to check recall lists daily to see what has been added. Updates and background information about the recalls are available at fda.gov/oc/opacom/hottopics/salmonellatyph/faq.html.
RECALL ALERTS
Have you unsafe products in your home? Check out items that have been recalled by manufactures in cooperation with U.S.Consumer Product Safety Commission. You can check by phone: 800-638-2772.
Remember, when it comes to recalls, health, food, the same information applies to both USA and Canada, as a rule. Check both government sites for above.
NOTE: For limiting exposure to mercury from certain types of fish, refer to Canada's Food Guide. For latest information and guide for your health and safety.
