Dear Residents,
Fun! Our theme for the month of March. I’m a great fan of ‘fun’…
and around the Manor, we try to have our fair share of fun. As
you probably know, as part of our day-to-day operations we deal
with many serious issues. But we also have to find some levity and humor in our environment to release some of the stress
that we encounter on a daily basis. You have probably heard
some of our wonderful team members laughing in the hallways –
something that I wholeheartedly encourage. Laughter is a great
stress manager. Research has shown health benefits of laughter ranging from strengthening the immune system to increasing
one’s threshold for pain. There’s even an emerging therapeutic
field known as ‘humor therapy’ which has shown to help people
heal more quickly. Some other benefits of humor are:
- Hormones – Laughter reduces the level of stress hormones like
cortisol, adrenaline and dopamine, while increasing the levels of
health-enhancing hormones like endorphins and neurotransmitters.
Continued
-
Internal Workout – A good belly laugh exercises the diaphragm, contracts the abs and even
works out the shoulders, leaving muscles more relaxed afterwards. It even provides a good workout for the heart.
-
Distraction – Laughter brings the focus away from anger, guilt, stress and negative emotions in a more beneficial way than other mere distractions.
-
Social Benefits of Laughter – Laughter connects us with others. Also, laughter is contagious, so if you bring more laughter into your life, you can most likely help others around you to
laugh more, and realize these benefits as well. By elevating the mood of those around you, you
can reduce their stress levels, and perhaps improve the quality of social interaction you experience with them, reducing your stress level even more!
So the bottom line is – have more fun, laugh more and if you are able, leave your troubles at the
doorstep, as the old song goes.
Finally, last month’s culinary question was: How do pineapples grow and how long does it take
to grow one?
Answer: Pineapples grow on a small plant and take approximately 2 to 3 years to fully develop.
They are actually classified as a berry!
This month’s culinary question: What nut, in its natural state, contains a poisonous oil?
Have a great month and see you in the halls!

MAINTENANCE CORNER
Hello everybody. Welcome to the month of March where this
month’s theme is ‘Fun’. Fun is a general word but can mean
something different for everyone. For the average Joe it could
be dinner and a movie, for an athlete it could be trying a new
sport, and for a scholar it could be getting her masters degree. In
any event, as long as you are enjoying what you are doing it is fun.
From my perspective a Calgary Flames’ Hockey Game or Saskatchewan Roughrider Football
Game comes to mind. I also like to play golf from time to time and I recently participated in
a ball hockey tournament which I thoroughly enjoyed. Another one of my interests is music
so I find myself going to the odd concert when a band or artist I admire comes into town.
Then there is of course “Humor”, the Granddaddy of fun! Without humor life would be so
boring for me. Humor comes in all forms, TV & movies, books, radio and real life events.
Some of the funniest times ever had is with natural real life humor. Along with humor being
fun it is also a great stress reliever.
In relation to work, however, I enjoy some of the special events that come around during the
year. Halloween of course is a favorite where you can be somebody or someone else for the
day. Decorating around Christmas and Stampede is also fun, and being a cowboy for ten days
out of the year is another enjoyable experience. Some of the best times I have had is finding
fun in your everyday work experiences. It could be a funny situation that happened to myself
or a co-worker or even a Resident. Of course we are laughing with you not at you…………..
that may not be said for me at times but that’s ok as long as we have fun it is well worth being
laughed at! Haha
In closing life is too short not to have fun because after all is said and done those are some of
the most memorable experiences we will have in our lifetime, so the more fun we experience
the better it is for us all.
“Have a Fabulous Fun-Filled March everyone”
Your Maintenance Coordinator,

News From Food Services
Dan is away right now, so I thought I’d include an article on my favorite food item for
this month’s installment of the Chef’s Newsletter submission – Chocolate!
Enjoy!
Tim
Dark Chocolate -- not white chocolate or milk
chocolate -- is good for you. There is no question that chocolate procures pleasure for those
who eat it. - Never feel guilty again!
If you enjoy chocolate, eat a little daily - but
make it the dark kind.
Eating 2 ounces (50 grams) a day of plain
chocolate with a minimum content of 70%
chocolate solids can be beneficial to health,
providing protection against heart disease,
high blood pressure, and many other health
hazards as well as essential trace elements
and nutrients such as iron, calcium and potassium, and vitamins A. B1, C, D, and E and
it’s a lot tastier than boring old vitamin pills
too. A 1 1/2-ounce square of chocolate may
have as many cancer-fighting antioxidants as
a five-ounce glass of red wine.
About 50% of all food cravings are for chocolate, far more than cravings for “something
sweet” (16%), salty foods (12%), baked goods
(11%), and fruit (4%). Some people go so far
as saying they are addicted to chocolate. But
that’s no license to go on a chocolate binge.
Eating more dark chocolate can help lower
blood pressure. Remember, you do have to
balance the extra calories by eating less of
other things.
What is it that makes chocolate so irresistible? A large part of chocolate’s allure, of
4
course, lies in the taste - a deliciously rich
concoction that satisfies the most intense craving. But several chemical reactions are also at
work. For one thing, chocolate stimulates the
secretion of endorphins, producing a pleasurable sensation similar to the “runner’s high” a
jogger feels after running several miles. The
question arises: Why is chocolate such a powerful food? And what makes it the most commonly craved food? (About 40% of women
and 15% of men report chocolate cravings.)
A new study by market research publisher
Packaged Facts titled Market Trends: The
U.S. Market for Gourmet Chocolate reports
that the higher cocoa, lower sugar content and
antioxidant properties of premium dark chocolate are making it a more attractive treat for
health-conscious Americans, especially those
counting carbs. The potential health benefits of
premium dark chocolate versus higher sugar,
higher fat mass-market counterparts are causing consumers to reevaluate their attitudes toward the gourmet chocolate market.
A word of caution: Not all chocolate is heart
healthy. White chocolate, which a Harvard researcher points out is “not really chocolate at
all,” and milk chocolate may expand the hips
rather than help blood flow. And none of the
instant cocoa mixes in the local grocery store
contain the flavonoids that improve blood
vessel function.
Short History of Chocolate
Aztec Indian legend held that cacao seeds had
been brought from Paradise and that wisdom
and power came from eating the fruit of the
cacao tree. Because of a spelling error, probably by English traders long ago, the cacao
beans became know as the cocoa beans.
The Spanish general, Hernando Cortes, landed in Mexico in 1519. The Aztecs believed he
was the reincarnation of one of their lost gods.
They honored him by serving him an unusual
drink, presented in a cup of pure gold. This
unusual drink was called “chocolatl” by the
Aztecs.
When Cortes returned to Spain, he took the
cocoa bean with him and there is was mixed
with sugar and vanilla. this sweet drink became fashionable and soon there were chocolate houses in all the capitals of Europe.
A delicate tree, cacao is only grown in rain
forests in the tropics, usually on large plantations, where it must be protected from wind
and intense sunlight. The tree is harvested
twice a year.
Milk chocolate was invented in 1876 by a
Swiss chocolatier, Daniel Peter (1836-1919)
of Vevey, Geneva. Daniel Peter successfully
combined chocolate with powdered milk to
produce the first milk chocolate. Today, the
finest chocolate is still made in Switzerland,
and the consumption of milk chocolate far
outweighs that of plain chocolate.
Chocolate was introduced to the United States
in 1765 when John Hanan brought cocoa
beans from the West Indies into Dorchester,
Massachusetts, to refine them with the help of
Dr. James Baker. The first chocolate factory in
the country was established there.
Chocolate Glossary
Unsweetened Chocolate:
It is also called baking, plain or bitter chocolate. Since no sugar has been added to the
chocolate it has a strong, bitter taste that
isused in cooking and baking but is never eaten out of hand.
Bittersweet Chocolate:
Still dark, but a little sweeter than unsweetened. It is unsweetened chocolate to which
sugar, more cocoa butter, lecithin, and vanilla
has been added. It has less sugar and more
liquor than semisweet chocolate but the two
are interchangeable in baking. Bittersweet
has become the sophisticated choice of chefs.
It contains a high percentage (up to 75%) of
cocoa solids, and little (or no) added sugar.
Semisweet Chocolate:
Slightly sweetened during processing, and
most often used in frostings, sauces, fillings, and mousses. They are interchangeable
in most recipes. The favorite of most home
bakers. It contains a high percentage (up to
75%) of cocoa solids, and little (or no) added
sugar.
German Chocolate:
Dark, but sweeter than semisweet. German
chocolate is the predecessor to bittersweet. It
has no connection to Germany; it was developed by a man named German.
Milk Chocolate or Sweet Chocolate:
Candy bar chocolate. Chocolate to which
whole and/or skim milk powder has been added. Rarely used in cooking because the protein in the added milk solids interferes with
the texture of the baked products. It contains
approximately 20 percent cocoa solids.
White Chocolate:
Many people might argue that white chocolate is not really chocolate. It is made from
sweet ened cocoa
5
butter mixed with milk solids, sometimes with
vanilla added. Since cocoa butter is derived
from the cocoa bean, then we can only conclude that real white chocolate is indeed chocolate.
important to prevent the
formation of mold. A
worker tosses beans with
a shovel to expose them
evenly to the air.
How Chocolate Is Made
Cacao trees are often interplanted with tall
shade trees to protect them from direct sunlight.
Pods grow on the trunks and larger branches of
the trees and take five to six months to ripen.
Fruit on the higher branches are harvested with
blades on long handles and lower branches are
cut with machetes.
Grading of the beans is
done mechanically at
the larger farms; smaller
producers do it by hand.
From baskets, the dried
beans are transferred to burlap bags and transported to local selling stations, where they may
be bought by large companies for export.
The pods are cut open with machetes to reveal
between 20 to 40 beans each, surround
ed by a mass of stickly, white pulp. Traditionally, this was done immediately after harvest;
today, pods are sometimes first stored whole
for a few days to prime them for fermentation.
Arriving at the chocolate mills, the beans undergo a thorough cleaning, followed by the roasting
which brings out the particular flavor of each
variety. Throughout this process, a constant and
exact temperature must be maintained. Correct
roasting is exceedingly important since underroasting leaves a raw taste and over-roasting results in a high pungent or even burnt flavor.
Fermenting begins when the beans come into
contact with the air. Here, a workrt uses a stick
to gauge the depth of the mass in a vara, or
measuring box, to determine the wage of the
harvester, before transferring it to the fermentation bin. During fermentation, the pulp disintegrates, producingsteamy heat and a pervasive, yeasty, sour smell. It is at this point that
the beans first develop thier complex characteristics.
Drying of the beans after fermentation is done
on slatted wooden trays in the open air. The
beans are spread out evenly and raked periodically so that they dry uniformly. As the beans
dry, their colors deepen, turning them into a
carpet of sepia, umber, and mocha.
Aeration of the dried beans during storage is
6
Now comes the cooling, shelling, and winnowing, from which the cocoa beans emerge cleaned
and ready for blending. This important process
requires expert knowledge and skill. Not only
must the beans be selected which will produce
the best chocolate flavor, but uniformity of
blend must be preserved year in and year out.
After the blending, the cocoa beans are milled or
slowly ground between great heated millstones.
Under heat and tremendous pressure, the cocoa
butter melts and mixes with other parts of the
beans forming the ruddy chocolate liquor. The
fragrant chocolate odor is now noticeable.
The liquor is then treated according to the product to be made. For unsweetened chocolate, the
liquor is poured into molds and cooled rapidly
in refrigerating rooms. Then the cacao emerges
in familiar form, as bars of chocolate, ready to
be wrapped and sold.
From The Dining
Room
Dear Residents:
When do people perform their best at any
task, from sport to nuclear physics? When
they’re relaxed, intent on what they’re doing and more of less oblivious of everything
else. When they’re having fun. So loosen up
and enjoy your life.
What is fun?
Fun is making time for yourself. It is a sense
of humor and lightness. We all need to have
fun. The question is how do you balance
your schedule and time on a daily or weekly
basis for fun, including: individual fun time,
couple fun time, co-worker fun time, family
fun time.
Here some tips that I need to familiarize
everyone with for our Dining services. Our
Main Dining room is closed at 7:00 p.m. The
last call to serve dinner is at 6:15 p.m. Please
enjoy our Garden Café for visiting after 7:00
p.m. if you think you would like more coffee
or tea. This will allow our Dining staff to
clean up and reset our dining room for breakfast. Thank you so much for your cooperation and understanding.
Also, please sign up your guests for our special ocassion meal services in a timely manner so that we are better able to accommodate
everybody in the Dining Rooms. St. Patrick’s
Day dinner is on March 14.
The sign up sheet is always available at the
Hostess station on the 4th floor and the Main
Floor Dining Room. To savour your special
moments with your friends and family we
also offer our ‘Gourmet Choice Menu’ every
Friday evening. Our Gourmet Choice Menu
is only available on Fridays. Our Gourmet
Choice Menu will now be delivered to your
suite each month so that you can plan ahead
and sign up your guests at Reception. Please
sign up for the Gourmet selection by Thursday noon of each week, as we purchase only
enough product to serve those Residents
who have signed up for the Gourmet selection. The price for the Gourmet Selection is
$21.00 - salad or soup to start and a special
dessert to enjoy at the end of the meal.
In behalf of my dining staff. Have a wonderful month!
Keep smiling at your fate and your fate will
smile back at you!
Have Fun!

February was the month of LOVE and it
was wonderful to see all the LOVE that was
shared around StayWell. The mirror in the
Café was covered in LOVE! I must apologize to you as we hoped to give the messages from the mirror to the recipients but
they unfortunately were cleaned up before
we got a chance to distribute them. It was
truly heart-warming to read the caring messages that we put up on the mirror.
Our Chinese New Year celebration was a
huge success! The event was made even
more special by having Ann and Eric from
the kitchen perform for us. Thank you Ann
and Eric, what a special treat that was for all
of us.
In our Year of Healthy Living, March is
“FUN” month and goodness gracious do we
have a lot of fun in store for you! During
the month of March you will see in StayWell Manor, animals, perhaps the odd Leprechaun and a Mad Hatter or two! Read on

Please remember the spaces on the sign-up
sheets that are designated for wheelchairs are
exactly for that only. There have been incidences where Residents not in wheelchairs
have signed up in these spots. As a result, to
be fair to all, those names are moved to the
bottom of the wait list. To avoid disappointment, please do not sign up in the wheelchair
spaces unless you are in a wheelchair.
An aging man lived alone in Ireland. His only
son was in Long Kesh Prison, and he didn’t
know anyone who would spade up his potato
garden. The old man wrote to his son about it,
and received this reply, “For HEAVENS SAKE,
don’t dig up that garden, that’s where I buried
the GUNS!!!!!” At 4 A.M. the next morning, a
dozen British soldiers showed up and dug up
the entire garden, but didn’t find any guns. Confused, the man wrote to his son telling him what
happened and asking him what to do next.
His son’s reply was: “Just plant your potatoes.”

Speaking of favorites, a topic from the Wellness Department - pendants! Please remember to wear your pendant at all times while
in the Manor. It is for all Residents to use,
whether for an emergency or the need for
assistance, please push the red button.
Another favorite topic, hand washing!
Please continue to wash your hands before
you leave your suite and upon returning to
your suite. Respiratory bugs (colds and the
flu) are in full swing at this time of year.
A gentle reminder, that the new Goals of
Care forms are available in the Wellness
Center. This form replaces the ‘DNR’ form
that has been used for many years. If you
would like more information on this new
document, please feel free to drop by and
we will be happy to give you one.
Happy Spring everyone!

Enjoying Later Life
As the years pass, we can consciously choose
to embrace social activities, maintain an inquiring mind and indulge our passions – silly
or serious.
Fred, the oldest known goldfish lived to forty-one years of age. It’s a mystery how he
did it. But, unlike Fred, we don’t need to live
inside a fishbowl to enjoy a long, full and vibrant life.
Certainly a sense of playful humor seems to
be a key ingredient for seniors who live an
energetic and meaningful life. For people
like my Mother, it’s true, that aging bodies
disintegrate or rust out and health challenges
may minimize some choices. Yet an attitude
of optimism, good humor and passion can
ease the day.
Mom’s passion for gardening excites her
each morning. Rising to the edge of her bed,
she wraps, straps and bandages various body
parts before heading out the back door. Her
garden has a ceramic bunny village nestled
under a bush and one particular flower species is called “stolen”. She secretly stole a
snippet at the local park and sprouted it in a
glass of water.
A fake hand peeks out from her front porch foundation. She declares, “My doors are unlocked
and I’ve never been robbed. They think the axe
murderer lives here.” Yet, one summer, Mom
- continued
reported experiencing sexual harassment in her
garden. While kneeling down to clean her ornamental pond a jumping frog “came less than an
inch from landing in my bra!”
Although many seniors fuss over a failing memory, others lament that “I have a beautiful, young
wife and I’m grief stricken because I don’t know
where I left her.” One evening Mom sensed she
was supposed to be somewhere else. The next
morning her friend Peggy called saying her dinner guest did not arrive but she couldn’t remember whom she had invited. Mom asked, “Was
that me?” They still didn’t know who was supposed to be where.
While memories can weaken, an inquiring and
firm mind can strengthen. My mother keeps
an eye on world events and has sharpened her
opinions. “What’s with President Bush’s zeal
for war? He needs to be given some estrogen
(female hormone) to settle him down.”
Many successful seniors have learned that while
they have little control over the aging process
they do have control over their attitude. Needless worrying and trying to control others is
fruitless.
Some seniors discover that sinking their teeth
into a steak means they stay there. But real
staying power comes from a lighthearted approach. As our eighty – something old neighbor
and friend, Izora says, “Aging isn’t for sissies
or the humorless.” As the years pass we can
consciously choose to embrace social activities,
maintain an inquiring mid and indulge our passions – silly or serious. One day we will have
our own brand of senior smile and feel grateful
to live outside the fish bowl.

Memory Care Corner
We had a FUN February in Memory Care!
There were many wonderful activities centered
around Valentine’s Day and we had our fill of
chocolate and treats that is for sure. We would
like to welcome our new Residents, Don and
Hilda Chase and Bill Morin who joined us in
February. Welcome! We are enjoying our bus
outings and would like to congratulate Stephanie on getting her license for the bus! She is an
awesome driver and we had three fabulous outings on the bus. Way to go Stephanie! Spring
is hopefully around the corner and we look forward to more sunny days ahead and will have
fun watching the snow melt (including the
snowmen across the street). Although if we get
a large spring snowfall the staff have promised
to build us a snowman on our patio. Now that
would be fun to watch!
Have a great March!

Four-leaf Clover Poem
Author: Ella Higginson
I know a place where the sun is like gold,
And the cherry blooms burst with snow,
And down underneath is the loveliest nook,
Where the four-leaf clovers grow.
One leaf is for HOPE, and one is for FAITH,
And one is for LOVE, you know,
And GOD put another in for LUCK -If you search, you will find where they grow.
But you must have HOPE, and you must have
FAITH,
You must LOVE and be strong -- and so -If you work, if you wait, you will find the place
Where the four-leaf clovers grow.
