Commemorating a decade of caring Mission’s Chartwell Cedarbrooke hosts a day-long anniversary celebration Kevin Mills Mission Record
Classic cars, ice cream, barbecues and live entertainment were all part of a very special celebration held last Friday. The Chartwell Cedarbrooke retirement residence on Seventh Avenue in Mission held a 10-year anniversary party and the public was invited to join in the festivities. “It was amazing. Everybody had a really good time,” said Vicky Ross, lifestyles and program manager at Chartwell Cedarbrooke. “There was great participation by the residents and from the community. The car club was here. It was great.” The classic cars was one of the highlights of the day as many A classic car show was held in the parking lot of Chartwell Cedarbrooke Retirement Residence in Mission as part of its 10th anniversary celebration on Friday, Aug. 23.

of the seniors strolled through the display, checking out the restored vehicles. “It’s really great for the residents to see the old cars. It just brings them back to a place of reminiscing and just reliving those great memories and the great times they had. It kind of brings them back to their youth and you see the joy on their faces as the get to sit in the cars and get their pictures taken,” Ross said. Many residents talked about how much they paid for their ’56 Chevy and compared prices now. One resident even joked that the cars were in better shape than him. The other big event on the day was a live performance by Bernie and Red, a singing and comedy duo.
Ross said she printed 150 tickets and it was a sellout. In fact, they even managed to seat some extra people who showed up without tickets. “They were laughing hysterically or signing along to songs. It was just great.” Tickets were $5 or a donation to the local food bank. The money raised went to two causes – the food bank and Wish of a Lifetime Canada, which helps seniors’ wishes come true. Other events held during the festivities included a pancake breakfast, a treasure hunt, family photo ops, a barbecue, an ice cream social and a beer garden. “We were jam-packed with events from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., Ross said.

1 pint fresh raspberries (about 12 ounces or 2 1/4 cups) 1/2 pint fresh blackberries (about 7 ounces or 1 1/2 cups) 8 ounces fresh strawberries (1 3/4 cups), hulled and thickly sliced 1 cup natural cane sugar, such as turbinado Pinch kosher salt 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

INSTRucTIoNS 1. Stir the raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, and sugar together in a large pot. Set aside to macerate until the sugar begins to dissolve into the fruit, about 10 minutes. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Add the salt, lemon zest, and lemon juice and reduce the heat to medium-low. 2. Gently simmer until the fruit breaks down and starts to cook down, thickening slightly, 15 to 20 minutes. If the fruit isn’t breaking down on its own, use the back of a wooden spoon or a potato masher to help it out. (I tend to like a chunkier jam so I don’t go to great lengths to do this.) 3. When almost done, the jam will still be loose (it’ll firm up more as it cools) but coat the back of a wooden spoon. Remove from the heat and pour into your favorite clean glass jars to cool until warm. Cover and cool completely. Refrigerate for up to 3 weeks, or freeze for up to 6 months.

Autumn is gardening season Autumn is an ideal time to get into the garden and ensure that flowers, trees and garden beds will over-winter successfully. ¡ Pamper perennials. As annuals and perennials start to fall back, mark the spots where perennials are located so they can be easily identified later on. This way, when planning spots for spring bulbs or other spring layouts for next year, perennials won’t be overlooked or covered over. ¡ Prune shrubs. Look at shrubs and trees and cut out dead or diseased wood. ¡ Clean up borders. Weed and tidy up borders and lawn edging. ¡ Install pavers or rock wall. Embrace the cooler temperatures to work on labor-intensive projects, such as putting in a garden bed, retaining wall or walkway. ¡ Remove spent summer veggies. Take out vegetable garden plants that have already bloomed and borne fruit. Tidy up vegetable gardens and start to sow cooler weather plants, such as onions, garlic, beans, and sweet peas. ¡ Rake and compost. Rake the leaves and gather grass clippings to add to the compost pile.
¡ Plant spring bulbs. Get tulips and other spring bulbs ready for planting so they’ll burst with color next year. ¡ Dig up herbs. Relocate herbs like parsley or basil to indoor gardens. Otherwise, strip all leaves and freeze for storage during winter. ¡C o n s i d e r m u m s . Chrysanthemum plants are perennials. While they look beautiful in pots, if planted, maintained and winterized, they can bloom every fall. ¡ Fertilize the lawn. Fertilizing in autumn helps ensure grass will stay healthy throughout the winter. ¡ Add mulch and compost to the garden. Replenish spent soil with mulch and compost so garden beds will be revitalized for spring planting. ¡ Prune hedges. Tidy up hedges, as they won’t be growing much more this year. ¡ Clean and store equipment. Clean, sharpen and oil all equipment, storing lawn and garden tools properly so they are ready for spring and not lying out all winter.

Now they enjoy the freedom of dental implants, which are as close to natural teeth as you can get. People who lose a tooth want to replace it with something permanent, says Dr. Lui, instead of something they have to remove. “Once you give someone new, permanent teeth, you can see their personality shine through again.”

What every older Canadian should know about
pLannIng fOr tHeIr future HOusIng needs tIps and safeguards Get to know what home support services are available in your community, such as home care, meal delivery services, and transportation assistance. If you are looking at a seniors’ residence, ask what services are included in the monthly cost and what services, if any, you can purchase at an additional cost. Consider location and how easy it will be to get to community facilities such as churches, libraries, hospitals and community centres. Consider the availability of transportation for shopping, outings and medical appointments. Have a lawyer or someone you trust review a service agreement or housing contract before you sign it. Ask for information about the way a facility handles complaints and disputes. Get information about your rights as a resident or tenant before you move in. Ask if there are limits on annual rent increases.

ExErcisE and aging: How to work out safely after 50
In an ideal world, people young and old exercise each day. But as men and women age, finding time to work out is not so easy. • Speak with your physician. • Begin with low-intensity exercises. • Choose the right places to exercise outdoors. Exercising outside provides the best of both worlds for many people, providing a chance to get healthy all while enjoying the great outdoors. • Stay hydrated. Water regulates body temperature and lubricates the joints, thereby decreasing your risk of injury during exercise. Exercising after 50 can help people live healthy well into retirement. But caution must be exercised when aging men and women return to exercise after a long break.

asweage What is heartburn and how can you manage it? What is heartburn anyways? Normally when we eat food, it passes from your mouth to the stomach with the help of the food pipe called esophagus. The opening between the esophagus and stomach closes as soon as the food passes through. The impairment of this opening to close after food has entered the stomach can cause acid to move back up into the food pipe causing symptoms. These include an uncomfortable, burning feeling you get from the lower chest towards the throat, and occasionally the bitter or sour taste of food in the mouth. These myriads of symptoms are known as GERD or gastroesophageal reflux disease. What are some of the predisposing factors causing heartburn/GERD? It happens usually after eating a big meal or lying down immediately after a meal. It is also more common in people who smoke, drink excessively and have a sedentary lifestyle.
Fun By The numBers Like puzzles? Then you’ll love sudoku. This mind-bending puzzle will have you hooked from the moment you square off, so sharpen your pencil and put your sudoku savvy to the test! here’s how IT works Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
What can I do to prevent Heartburn? Some lifestyle modifications that can help with the symptoms or prevent it from coming altogether are: 1. Raising the head of the bed by placing extra pillows. 2. Try not eating within an hour or two of going to bed. 3. If you were overweight, losing weight can help. 4. Avoiding substances such as caffeine and alcohol in excess. 5. Avoid clothes that are extremely tight around your abdomen 6. If you are a smoker, talk to a doctor about quitting

AnSwEr:
Will antacids help with Heartburn? If symptoms are persisting, most people will benefit from an antacid. It is usually better to take it after meals and at bedtime. Always discuss with your doctor before starting any medications, including over the counter.

What if I am still experiencing the symptoms? It is always advisable to go visit your physician if you are still experiencing symptoms, as you may need to be put on stronger medications or may need a workup to find the cause of your heartburn such as a stomach ulcer, or cancer. Some of the symptoms that may need a visit to your doctor: 1. Trouble swallowing or pain with swallowing 2. Blood in the vomitus or stools 3. Shortness of breath, dizziness or lightheadedness 4. Pain going into your neck, jaw, or shoulder 5. Heartburn persisting more than 2 weeks
What if I have a stomach ulcer? On the other hand, if you are experiencing symptomssuchasburningupperabdominal pain that often comes on between meals or early hours of the morning, you might have a stomach ulcer. An ulcer is a break in the lining of the digestive tract. Most of the stomach ulcers are caused by an infection by a bacterium called H. Pylori. Other causes for an ulcer are usually pain medications such as Advil or Aspirin. How is a stomach ulcer diagnosed? Your healthcare provider will ask you questions about your lifestyle/diet and may run some blood tests along with a breath test to detect H. Pylori infection. How is a stomach ulcer treated? If H. Pylori is the cause of an ulcer, it is treated with one or more antibiotics and strong antacids known as the triple therapy. In most cases, this treatment will completely heal the ulcer and get rid of the bacteria. Antibiotics should be taken for the full course, to avoid the growth of resistant bacteria. And like I always say; the best treatment is prevention. Eating healthy meals, exercising regularly, avoiding an excess of alcohol, caffeine and avoiding smoking can do wonders and many of us may not even need the medications. Be wise, be healthy. – DR.

HIKE for HOSPICE September 22nd, 2019 Fraser River Heritage Park
September 8th 2019 Grandparents Day
The purpose of the holiday is “to honour grandparents, to give grandparents an opportunity to show love for their children’s children, and to help children become aware of the strength, information, and guidance older people can offer.”
Ideas for Grandparents Day
• A simple meal and time to visit will please most grandparents. • Grandparents Day is also a great time to share some family stories or look at old pictures. • Board games, card games, and puzzles are fun low-key amusements. • Perhaps organize an outing - a day out together, why not the lake or just a nice trip to the park together. If it doesn’t work out for you to see your grandchildren, Grandparents Day is a great excuse for you to phone them, text them, FaceTime or Skype with them, or even write them an old-fashioned letter.
Form your team for a 5km walk to support the
MISSION HOSPICE SOCIETY prizes, food & refreshments! Registration open from 9am, Hike starts at 10am Pre-Registration at our office or online for more information visit

The Mission Health Care Auxiliary Society thank you both for your very generous donation and the time you have committee to this project.

Top 10 ways owners can keep their cats happy & Healthy 1. Provide toys. One of the easiest ways to make a cat happy is with a new toy. 2. Train your cat together. Cats are smart as well as food oriented and can be trained to do fun tricks–the mental and physical stimulation is great for felines. 3. Make your cat work for food. Feline obesity is a huge problem in this country and one way to combat it is to make cats work for their food. Food toys are available to channel a cat’s natural hunting instincts. 4. Acclimate your cat to the carrier. Many cat owners find that the worst part about taking their cat anywhere is getting it into the carrier. 5. Visit the veterinarian. Healthy cats are happy cats. Many veterinary practices are cat-friendly or have doctors who specialize in cats. Yearly wellness visits can help catch medical problems early. 6. Microchip your cat. In addition to a collar and identification tag, microchipping provides permanent identification in case your cat becomes lost. 7. Go outside (appropriately). Yes! There are ways owners can safely take their cats outside to allow them to broaden their horizons. 8. Provide proper scratching posts. Scratching is an important aspect of feline behavior. 9. Provide preventive medications. No one likes fleas, ticks, mites or heartworms, especially your cat. Even if your cat is kept strictly indoors, they can still be attacked by these little creepy creatures. 10. Think about getting another cat. Cats are social animals, so you might want to consider visiting the shelter and adopting a best buddy for your current kitty.
