Vitamin C is required to manufacture healthy
collagen, the glue that holds coronary cells
together, just like mortar is needed for bricks.
Lysine, like steel rods in cement, makes collagen
stronger. Two-time Nobel Prize winner, Dr. Linus
Pauling reported twenty-five years ago it takes a
mere 10 milligrams to prevent scurvy, but several
thousand to prevent heart attack.
Williams Stehbens, Professor of Anatomy at
Wellington University in New Zealand, proved
Pauling was right. Stebhens’ research showed that
coronary arteries closest to the heart are under the
greatest pressure. This causes collagen to fracture
resulting in the formation of a blood clot and
death.
But to take large doses of vitamin C and lysine
requires swallowing many pills daily. It’s a tall
order for those who dislike swallowing one pill. So
for several years I’ve been trying to find a company
that would manufacture a combination of vitamin
C and lysine powder. Now Medi-C Plus™
is available at health food stores and specialty
pharmacies.
The dosage for the Medi-C Plus combination
is one flat scoop mixed with water or juice with
breakfast and the evening meal. Those at greater
risk should take one flat scoop three times a day.
This column does not recommend that those
taking CLDs should stop them. That is a decision
that can only be made by patients and doctors.
As for me – I bet my life on vitamin C and lysine!
I turned 90 this year.
I knew that Dr. Graveline, a physician and NASA
astronaut, had twice developed transient global
amnesia from taking cholesterol lowering drugs
(CLD’s). I was also aware that patients have
died from CLDs. Others have developed kidney,

Dr. Sydney Bush, an English researcher, has now
proven that vitamin C can reverse atherosclerosis.
Bush took retinal photographs, then started
his patients on high doses of vitamin C and
lysine. One year later additional pictures showed
atherosclerosis had regressed in retinal arteries.
Sixteen years ago following my own coronary
attack, cardiologists claimed it was sheer madness
for me to refuse cholesterol-lowering drugs.
Instead, I decided to take high doses of vitamin
C plus lysine with breakfast and the evening meal.

“Phoebe’s Way” is the story of a Saint John Ambulance
therapy dog whose lessons on aging propel this powerful work
of fiction. Layered with symbolism in the precise and poetic
language of Phoebe, this poignant story is for anyone who has
watched elderly loved ones live more in their memories than
in the present, or who has ever loved a dog and witnessed how
naturally they break through barriers with the promise of
hope.

Hope springs eternal
On a cold February afternoon in Mahone Bay, friends Ethan
Crowe, Spencer Statton and Liam Veinot didn’t let the lack of
a snowboarding hill deter them. They constructed their own
trail, complete with ramps made of snow.
Patricia Morrow painted the snow as she looked forward to warmer weather.
CLEAR BAGS FOR GARBAGE:

My two cents about science fairs
I
f you’ve noticed many kids have been
walking around looking like zombies,
and their parents looking a bit deflated, and you’re wondering what’s going
on, allow me to enlighten you.
The Municipality of Lunenburg, Town of Mahone Bay and Town
of Bridgewater have adopted clear bags for garbage.
Clear garbage bags increase recycling and composting rates. All
residents and businesses are required to use transparent, colourless
bags for garbage.
One (1) privacy bag is permitted per household/ apartment/
business, per garbage collection, for bathroom waste or hygiene
items. Privacy bags may be black, dark green or white plastic bags.

Kitty litter and pet waste may be placed in privacy bags or clear
garbage bags. If using a clear bag, heavy pet waste may be
double-bagged with another clear bag.

Blue bags cannot be used for garbage.

Sorting guidelines have not changed, just the colour of the
garbage bag.

The amount of garbage that can be placed for collection has not
changed.

All garbage within clear bags must be
loose, with the exception of pet waste.

It’s not a zombie apocalypse. Chances are, they were simply
in the process of doing science fair projects.
Don’t get me wrong, the merits of the science fair are incredible and, quite frankly, can’t really be found in many other
aspects of school: Testing a theory, collecting, reporting and
presenting data to judges, and performing under pressure are
all skills that must be honed to be successful in many jobs.
It’s not that I begrudge the science fair — it’s just that I really missed my dining room table. I also spent a small fortune on
Bristol Board, and let’s not forget about
the constant and relentless “encouragement” to work on the project, which was
beginning to sound a lot like nagging.
However, then there was the day of the
science fair, when the boys walked out the
front door with nervous confidence. They
looked at their projects with pride and
contentment, but also looked to see where
they should have spent more time. That’s
what I love about the science fair.
But perhaps the best part of the science fair is when, every year, I remember
my own science fair when I went to Hebbville Jr. High School what seems like an
eternity ago. My very good friend, Steve
Johnston, and I pulled an all nighter at
his parents’ Catidian Place home, and
tested whether or not accuracy is affected by lack of sleep. I remember his mother, Heather, frequently coming in with snacks
as we laughed from lack of sleep into the wee hours of the
morning, testing our math skills and problem solving. That
was probably my most fun and memorable science project, and
while no big problems were solved and no big scholarships
were won, Steve and I are still good friends today, so that is a
success in my books.
Meanwhile, after his recent science fair, Evan came home
from school with his project in hand, and although I was not
thrilled to see it back, I was proud to see his certificate saying
that he’s off to regionals.

Reality Check: Their good news
H
ow do you respond when someone
tells you their good news?
In his book “Flourish,” Martin Seligman describes four ways of
responding, and suggests that only one
of those ways is helpful for relationship
building. Let’s look at an example:
Little Amanda gets home from school
and exclaims, “Mommy, Mommy, I got
an A!”
Mommy responds, “Amanda, that’s wonderful! Doesn’t
that feel great? How did you
do it? What did the teacher
Reality
say? Let’s do something to celebrate!”
Or, Mommy responds, “Oh.
That’s good.”
Or, Mommy responds, “It’s about time.
Now why aren’t you getting A’s in the
rest of your work?”
Or, Mommy responds, “Wash your
face. You look like you’ve been playing in
the mud.”
That first, enthusiastic positive response is the type that Seligman refers to
as active and constructive. In a relationship where there are lots of active and
constructive responses, people feel connected and satisfied with each other.
While my example may seem a bit
over-the-top, here’s the general idea:
Respond specifically to the good news,
spend some time talking about it, get
enthusiastic, be positive, and actively
engage in the conversation. This type of
response acknowledges and recognizes
the good news, responds to their pride in
the accomplishment, and shares the joy.
Even though the second response
(“Oh. That’s good”) is positive, it brings
with it a lukewarm, passive approach.
This response says to Amanda, “Why
are you getting all excited? This is no big
deal.”
The third example could be particularly problematic, because Amanda’s
mom may think she is helping—she may
believe that she is offering constructive
criticism or even encouragement. Really,
though, it’s a negative response with
an implied criticism that says, “This is
too little, too late. You’ll never achieve
enough to suit me.”
Finally, the fourth example belittles
the news completely. Its implied message is, “What’s important to you is not
important to me. I barely even heard it.
I have other, more important things on
my mind, and in those areas,
you are far from achieving
success.”
Does how we respond to
other people’s good news
Check
matter? After all, it’s their
good news. If they are already happy about it, why
would they need us to cheer
them along?
In fact, Seligman suggests that how
you celebrate is more predictive of
strong relations than how you fight. How
about that?
When the people we care about share
their good news with us, they offer us
an opportunity to respond, one way or
another.
If we pay close attention to how we respond to, celebrate, and share the happy
times, perhaps the unhappy, bad news
times won’t be so troublesome for the
relationship.
Responding actively and positively is
not just useful for our family or friend
relationships — keep this in mind for
your workplace, too.
So the next time someone shares their
good news with you, why not give an active, positive response a try? Go out of
your way to be enthusiastic. Share in the
joy. Engage with the person. Spend some
time talking about it. Get the details. Relive the triumph with them.
See how that works for you. And of
course, let me know at [email protected] or by mail c/o Lighthouse
Log.
To your choices!

Gemini, you have been immersed in
work and are starting to show the ill
effects of keeping long hours. Now is
a great time to take a few days off or
enjoy a mini-vacation.
CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22
Cancer, you have a lot to get done, but
resist the urge to micromanage every
detail, as this could be a surefire path to
burnout. You need to take a few breaths.
LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23
Leo, avoid the temptation to get started

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22
It is sometimes easy to miss the forest

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23
Libra, you may be searching for a new
adventure, but try to appreciate the here
and now as well. It’s easy to get swept
up in fantasies, but don’t let them carry
you too far away.
SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22
Scorpio, you suspect that someone is
hiding something, and that very well
may be the case. Perhaps a welcome
surprise is coming your way. Resist the
urge to dig too deep.
SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21
You can probably talk your way out
of trouble, Sagittarius, but this time
it’s better to let things play out. Keep
conversations light and free from controversy.
CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20
Capricorn, find balance between your
personal ambitions and things you have
to accomplish at work and at home.
Finding a middle ground is the best approach.
AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18
Aquarius, you need a few extra people to
contribute to a special task, but you do
not know who to ask. If you think hard
enough, you will know who you can depend on.

What will spring bring?
U
ntil one has loved an animal, a part of one’s soul
remains unawakened.” ~ Anatole France
Everyone is waiting for spring. At SHAID we
look forward to spring too, because the dogs can play in
the yard without the huge snowbanks. On fine days, the
dogs can go for walks again and the cats look forward to
the sunny windows sills.
Although it is difficult not to get excited when we see
new kittens, at SHAID the excitement is short lived as
the numbers rise. Kittens are so darn cute, but they are a
sign that spring has arrived. Every year we hear and see
news about so many homeless and feral cats. Therefore,
SHAID knows with spring, there are generally many
spring kittens arriving.
Will it be different this year? It does seem a bit encouraging that the number of homeless cats for this time of
year seems to be a bit lower all over Nova Scotia. Could it
“
be possible that spaying/neutering, TNR and
so many other programs are working? Can
we feel a bit of weight lifted for the homeless/feral population? We can only hope this
is the case, but spring will soon tell us at
SHAID if we have been too hopeful.
SHAID will continue finding the perfect family for
each pet. Those pets don’t ask to be in the situations
they’re in, with no family and living at a shelter. This
happens because some people are irresponsible and
don’t do the right thing — spaying and neutering. Every
pet owner has this responsibility. The day you bring the
sweet kitten or puppy into your home, you know one day
soon he/she will need to be spayed/neutered. A free kitten or puppy is not free — they require vaccinations, deworming, flea treatments, leukemia testing and spaying/
neutering, just to name a few things.
A pet is a wonderful part of your family.
Please consider the commitment, the vet bills
and the cost of food prior to adding a new pet.
There are also many other things to consider
— how much joy, fun and love a pet will bring
to your life and to your family.
This week at SHAID we wait for sweet Tess to find a
loving family. Tess is a beautiful calico. She is four years
old and is in SHAID’s play area with some friends. She
loves to be held and will cuddle with you once she gets
to know you. A shy cat can be a very loving pet once it
knows it can trust you. Stop by SHAID and see beautiful
Tess.
SHAID is open daily, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. SHAID has a
wonderful Facebook page that can be found at SHAID
Tree Animal Shelter and a great website at http://www.
shaid.ca where you can view all adoptable pets.
In 2012 the federal government collected
250 Billion dollars in revenue, and spent
276 Billion dollars on programs and
services. Here’s where the money came
from and where it went.
Governments collect almost all their money
through the taxes they take from people and
businesses - But mostly, from people. Paying taxes
is like doing homework. Nobody looks forward to
it, but we’re better off as a country when we do
it. That way Canada can have nice things.
The federal government’s spending goes to three main
areas: federal programs and federal expenses like
the national debt, transfers directly to people who
need it, and transfers to the provinces for provincial
programming.
Here are some price tags for public
expenses that you may be familiar with:
provincial and federal
budgets
must
get
approved
by
the
appropriate legislature,
just like every other
piece of legislation.
Legislatures can choose
to increase spending in
one area, reduce it in
another, collect more
or less money in taxes,
or borrow money and
take on debt on behalf
of their citizens.
delivering a baby in a
Canadian hospital.
imprisoning someone
for a single year.
13 years of public schooling and
four years of subsidized University.
canada’s participation
in the afghanistan War.
And since it is citizens’
money
that
is
being
spent and borrowed, it’s
worth keeping it in mind
when voting for our
representatives.
The lawmaking process: how budgets
and other legislation become the
law of the land.
