Itsy

By Mat and Laurel Lunnen (& Story)

Itsy is a charitable organization that supports the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at St. Joseph’s Hospital in London, Ontario. In addition to helping the “itsy bitsy” NICU residents, Itsy provides financial relief to families who have infants in the NICU over the Christmas season.

Itsy is very proud to present the 2nd annual fundraising event,  A Tiny Night, which will be held on Friday, November 20th at Aroma Restaurant; mark your calendars!   The fundraising evening will be cocktail style; complete with guest speakers, silent auction & raffles, entertainment, a gourmet miniature appetizer menu and will be emceed by media personality, Cheryl Weedmark.

Check out www.itsy.ca  for more information!

Itsy was created by Mat and Laurel Lunnen after the birth of their daughter, Story, who was born 15 weeks premature, weighing a mere 1 lb 12 ounces.  Story spent the first four months of her life as an “itsy bitsy” resident of St. Joseph’s NICU, but despite her very tough start to life, Story is amazingly now a healthy, happy toddler!

Mat and Laurel experienced firsthand the unexpected costs of having an infant in the NICU; their hopes are that Itsy and the upcoming fundraiser can ease some of that financial burden for other families.

Tickets are $50 per person and are available for purchase on www.itsy.ca; the website also includes an area to donate items, which will then be distributed to families. Proceeds from the event will go towards the purchase of much needed items, such as food, accommodation, medical equipment rentals and much more.  “After going through the NICU journey with our daughter, we realized the emotional and financial strain that families are faced with; the purpose of Itsy is to relieve some of that financial pressure, so that families can focus entirely on their child,” said Mat Lunnen.

Sara Cameron, Manager of Annual Giving at St. Joseph’s Health Care Foundation, says they are happy to support Itsy’s fundraising efforts. “Events like A Tiny Night and the thoughtful support of community friends like Mat and Laurel Lunnen further enhance the good work undertaken each day at St. Joseph’s,” says Sara Cameron.  “We are delighted that they have chosen the NICU as the beneficiary of their fundraising efforts.” 

 “We’ve been met with an incredible amount of support from the London community; this is definitely a cause close to the hearts of many people,” said Laurel Lunnen. “It will be a great night out for all who attend and for a very worthwhile cause. The theme is “tiny”, so expect all things small; the gourmet, miniature menu will be sure to impress you!”

Itsy is a grass roots organization with big plans; Mat & Laurel Lunnen hope to expand the website in the year ahead and make the site an outlet where parents can come together and provide support for each other. “We know what a scary time this is for parents; our hope is that we can continue to raise funds to assist families year round and also expand the website to create a virtual community for them,” said Laurel. “Like us, parents who are new to the NICU have so many questions and are often overwhelmed and sometimes just need the listening ear from someone who’s been through it; we hope to provide that for them.”

We are the proud parents of our baby girl; Addison Maria Stanbra born on October 16th, 2008 at St. Joseph’s Hospital in London, ON. Addison was born at 25 weeks and 5 days old and measured in at 8 1/2 inches long and weighing only 1lb 4 oz. She was our tiny little gift from above and we watched her fight and grow stronger everyday during our 3 1/2 month stay in the Neonatal Unit at the hospital. Check out her full story at her blog; www.baben2labsrus.blogspot.com.

We are very blessed to have this little girl home with us and thank all the staff at St. Joe’s that crossed our path during our stay there.

Thank you to all our wonderful friends and family and to those new friends that we met along the way, thank you for all of your help and support.

Oh the memories.  Oh- and we lived in the valley where houses were like a mile apart, so we were lucky to get enough candy to last us the week. BUT- I got smart when I went to high school and started trick or treating at my friend’s house- she live d in the city and we cleaned up!!!!! I’m talking pillowcases of candy!!!!! Those were the days!

Onespot™Allergy Top Ten Tips For A Safe Halloween:

www.onespotallergy.ca

When Trick or Treating:

  1. Have emergency medication (Epipen or Twinject) in a medication belt to be worn by your child or at all times.
  2. Have your child wear a MedicAlert bracelet at all times listing your child’s allergy and that he or she wears an auto-injector.
  3. Consider walking along with your child.
  4. If your child goes trick or treating without you, make sure he or she has access to a cell phone or a two-way radio.
  5. Make sure your child doesn’t sample food along the way.  Send along a bag of safe treats if you think your child can’t resist that urge.
  6. Let you child accept what’s given to him or her. 
  7. Have a special supply of safe treats at home.  Sit down with your child and remove unsafe treats, and swap them for the safe treats you provide.  Since miniature versions of candies and chocolate bars may contain different ingredients than full-sized versions, be sure to read the label every time. 

 

In The Classroom:

  1. Check with your child’s teacher well in advance to find out class plans. 
  2. Offer to provide allergy-friendly treats or non-food treats like glow sticks for the whole class to enjoy.  Some safe candies are sealed packages of:  Nestle miniature bars, sweet tarts, nerds, tootsie rolls, and licorice. 
  3. If possible, volunteer at the classroom party.

 

Onespot Allergy provides a full line of products to help people stay safe and be prepared in the event of an allergic reaction.  Learn about our mission and our must have allergy accessories here and visit us online at onespotallergy.ca.

October 24th- POST SHOW BLOG

I’m always fascinated by these books- Ripley’s Believe it or Not- mostly because I like to see and hear about the silly (sometimes stupid) things people are doing around the world with their time.  I have included a few stories that I thought were interesting. Read on my friends…..read on! Seeing is believing after all right?

Ripley’s Believe It or Not

Amy Nugent- Guest on Oct. 24th and on pg. 15 of the book

http://www.ripleys.com/

ORLANDO, Fla. (Aug. 20, 2009) - Reviewers who have read the new book from Ripley’s Believe It or Not! agree – “Seeing is Believing” is a winner. The latest book in the bestselling series was released August 4 and the positive reviews are piling up.

Reviewers say there is something for everyone in new book from Ripley’s Believe It or Not!

What’s all the Fuss About?

Seeing Is Believing is an all-new compendium of incredible and bizarre facts, stories, interviews and features – all presented in a stunning new design. This year’s book offers access to Ripley’s new fully-integrated website featuring astounding video clips and pictures to enhance the Ripley experience.

The 256-page, oversized hard cover book has more than 500 photos and nearly 2,500 Believe It or Nots! A special 8-page gatefold section showcases a three-legged footballer and other performers from the glory days of the circus sideshow. An eye-catching foil cover with a blinking lenticular eye makes this one of the most appealing options on bookstore shelves today.

Ripley Publishing (www.ripleybooks.com) is the publishing arm of Ripley Entertainment Inc., the owner of the internationally famous trademark Ripley’s Believe It or Not! As the world authority on all that is unbelievable, the company offers up its vast archives of the strange and unusual through books, television shows, tourist attractions, motion pictures, merchandise and the worldwide syndication of its daily newspaper cartoon.

ORLANDO, Fla. – (Oct. 19, 2009) –

Worlds Largest Rubber Band Ball

Worlds Largest Rubber Band Ball

Having a ball at Ripley’s Believe It or Not! has taken on a whole new meaning – the company has acquired the world’s largest rubber band ball.  Standing more than 6 feet tall it weighs close to 10,000 pounds!

Record-breaking ball is more than 6 feet tall, weighs nearly five tons!

In order to move the ball from Lauderhill, Florida where it was created to the company headquarters in Orlando, Ripley’s has had to hire a crane (one at each end of the journey), a flatbed truck and a transportation team. The move is scheduled for Thursday, October 29.

The orb was created by Joel Waul, a 28-year-old clothing store worker who lives in Lauderhill, near Ft. Lauderdale.

It all started for Waul’s ball on April 10, 2004, as he watched an episode of the Ripley’s Believe It or Not! TV show on which a rubber band ball was dropped out of an airplane. He decided on the spot that he wanted to create the world’s largest rubber band ball. He began creating the ball that day with rubber bands he found around the house.

Eventually, Waul used more than 720,000 rubber bands to create the ball, which he named “Megaton.” He scoured discount stores and e-bay for rubber bands to add to his creation during the early years. As it grew, he turned to sponsors for the giant industrial rubber bands needed to stretch around the bulging ball.

Dead Elephant Ale is Available Now!

Railway City Brewing Company is proud to launch a new beer featuring the story of Jumbo and his untimely death 124 years ago today. We have just started our beer of the month whereby we brew something unique each month.  Saturday, September 19th we launched Dead Elephant Ale (DEA) a 6.8% ale

Barbara Ziola – (brewer) has been wanting to create something new and exciting for a while, and now with the busy summer season beginning to provide the brewery some available capacity, now is the time to have fun.  Barbara will be featuring a Beer of the Month, whereby she can develop new interesting seasonal styles of beer in small limited batches.

Al Goulding, (President) stated “initial plans for the Dead Elephant Ale was to be featured in 750ml “Jumbo” sized bottles, however with the small batch brewed, it will be available in our even larger Jumbo sized “Growlers” which are 1.9 litres of beer”  I think next year we will feature a special 125th Anniversary edition, but for now customers will be able to pick up their first Dead Elephant Ale this coming Saturday.

 

Dead Elephant Ale (DEA) – Tasting Notes:

 

A full bodied golden Pale Ale which presents with a linen white medium

density head.   On the palate there are slight grassy notes which fall away

to reveal a hint of biscuit  with rather pleasant grapefruit and perfume undertones. To the nose there is a mild malt aroma which accentuates the robust floral bouquet which is derived from the hops.

IBU’s 46.6%

ABV 6.8%

Dead Elephant Ale acknowledges the death of Jumbo the world famous elephant that died in September 15, 1885.

NEXT WEEK on the show- it’s our Halloween Show! We will talk with real life ghost trackers!!! The Paranormal Knights of London have been conducting paranormal research in London and the surrounding area for more than a year now. Their team investigates locations believed to be haunted using the skills of their medium, James Loro. They also use digital video, photo, and voice recording devices to capture paranormal activity such as orbs, electronic voice phenomena . James and the team will be in the studio- call us live if you have any questions for them! 643-2222.

These guys have investigated many haunted locations, including the Donnelly cemetery in Lucan, the Old English Cemetery in St. Thomas, and many private residences in London. They have also conducted investigations in historical London locations that remain unnamed upon client request.

    In each investigation, we conduct detailed historical research that is provided to clients. In addition, our medium can cleanse locations of paranormal activity and assist trapped spirits and ghosts in crossing over. All of our services are free of charge.

 

Ripley’s Believe It or Not!, well-known for its unbelievable exhibits, has added something new to its archives – a collection of risqué, provocative undergarments described by their Boston creator as “Trashy Lingerie.”

Ripley’s acquires lingerie art made from used soda cans

Made out of soft drink cans, Ripley has acquired a total of 10 pieces of the lingerie art that look more like they belong in Lady Gaga’s wardrobe than in Ripley’s eclectic collection of oddities. The artist, Ingrid Goldbloom, collected her first cans from a beach trip and developed the idea to weave them together, creating bustiers, garters and under garments that would make any blacksmith blush.

As an empowerment coach I believe in providing the tools to teach people how to be
aware of their thoughts and retrain those thoughts to work for them not against them. Using emotions as the indicator and awareness as the tool, to release and replace the thoughts and therefore change your emotions.

Here are seven small steps to easily change the way you are feeling.  This whole exercise could be done inless than five minutes and is more important than any other thing you can do TODAY!

Step one…
Realizing we have 60,000 to 100,000 thoughts a day, and most of us have the same thoughts we had yesterday – STOP and listen to one, or two or three of those thoughts.  (Be AWARE vs. just letting the thoughts happen).  Not every thought, that would be too time consuming, but ‘listen’ to the
feelings those thoughts represent as a whole.  How much of your day are you feeling negative?  How much of the day are you optimistic and hopeful.  How much of your day is a repeat of yesterday?

Step two….
Realizing that negative emotion pulls you down (and you know this).  Examine one of those
thoughts that have caused you to be pulled downward, or feel negative.  What thought did you get?  (Being Aware of the thoughts that make you feel ‘bad’ will allow you to feel ‘better’).  Take that thought and write it down in the middle of your page.

Step three
Realizing now that that negative thought creates low vibration feelings within you – our goal is to lift that feeling by thinking a little differently.  A little differently will achieve this goal. I.e.: if the thought was I’m fat OR,
I’m broke OR, I’m lonely – think of one thing, that will make you feel just a little bit better (not fabulous –
just a little better).  As…I look forward to the day that I don’t feel fat, or I look forward to the day that I
look in the mirror and see thin.  You haven’t become thin, but you are moving your thoughts in the
direction of allowing this experience in to happen. 

Thoughts like, “I look forward to the day that I don’t even have to think about money when I want to go somewhere or want to do something, or buy something.”  You haven’t become rich, but your thoughts are moving in that direction vs. the opposite feeling of lack. 

Thinking about:  “Won’t it be nice when I have someone to share this experience? Or I look forward to the
day that being by myself is a fun thing!”  Giving yourself the feeling of hope, optimism, or ‘what if..’ are
higher vibration emotions than what you had been offering.

Step four…

On that piece of paper with your thought in the middle – state the opposite of what you
have written down.  If it was I’m Fat – write My New Body.  I’m Broke would change to – I’m Wealthy Now.  I’m lonely would change to – My New Partner.  Draw a circle around the new title in the middle and draw ‘spokes’ coming out of that circle.
   
Step five…

Write thoughts that make you think/feel optimist of this new idea.  Focus on positive thoughts, and how you could achieve this new idea.  Write those thoughts on the spokes on your drawing.  Keep writing more and more new ideas down.  They don’t have to be done now, just a possible new thought pattern.  I.e.: I love my thin, muscular legs. I love being able to purchase the things that make me smile, or it’s
great to travel.  My New Mate is understanding and enjoys my company.  He or she respects me, etc.  This is meant to be fun, not serious.

Step six…

Spend 68 seconds on each of the things you wrote down on the spokes and picture what it would be like if that were true.  Run a movie in your head about how you would feel if it were true.  Make a movie in your mind about it.  You are the writer, director and producer and in charge of the ending.  Make it a happy one, laugh and enjoy the process.  Have fun with it!

Step Seven….

Now, notice how you feel.  Are your emotions elevated?  Let’s hope so,
if not, keep practicing.  Your emotions are the indicator of what signals you are sending out and therefore
attracting.  Higher vibration feelings (the good ones) attract what you want.  The negative feelings attract what you don’t want (and literally repeal the exact thing you are wanting!).

School Bus Safety week is a perfect time to remind motorists of the importance to watch for School Buses and stop for the flashing red lights and stop arm.  Motorists can be fined up to $2000.00 dollars for failing to stop.  As well our Local School Bus Operators and School Boards have created 3 new Radio Public Service Announcements.  These hard-hitting dramatizations are to remind motorists of the implications and possible injuries to a child should they fail to obey the school bus lights and stop arm.  Students, Caregivers, and Motorists can all work together to keep our precious cargo safe!  ‘Think of Us On the Bus!”

Paul van der Werf, My Green Workplace

 

Although you might not think it at first glance local organizations such as Habitat for Humanity have a positive impact on the environment. Their environmental efforts are so neatly married with their efforts to redress social and economic circumstance that they have only latterly begun to realize and understand the power of fully closing this loop.

 

My green workplace www.mygreenworkplace.ca is pleased to volunteer with Habitat for Humanity http://www.habitat.london.on.ca/  and help it formalize its environmental efforts through the preparation a Sustainability Plan for its various activities.

 

On another note 19-25 October is Waste Reduction Week. As a society we have so much that we have to have a week every year to remind ourselves not to be so wasteful. This is a week to think about all the things you can do, whether at home, at school, at play and yes even at work to reduce your waste generation. If you want to find ways to reduce your environmental impact you can do so by reducing your consumption. My waste reduction week booklet, which is a free download, gives you some ideas and tips on how to do this.

http://www.mygreenworkplace.ca/pdf/2cg_WasteBooklet_MGW_Web-1.pdf,

WASTE REDUCTION WEEK- Oct. 19-25th

HERE IS YOUR WASTE REDUCTION WEEK BOOKLET

MONDAY – WORK

There are lots of opportunities to reduce waste

at the work-place. This includes reducing or re-using

manufacturing waste but also the recycling of office

and cafeteria wastes.

• Conduct a waste assessment or audit and develop

reduction strategies.

• Set up a green team of diverse staff who will investigate, document and motivate change in your business. Your green

team should develop a waste reduction policy outlining the

direction and specific commitment for improvements.

• Maximize recycling of manufacturing wastes (e.g. metals, wood etc).

• Set up a green procurement policy that looks for and buys

recycled materials where practical.

• Cut down on paper use by networking computers and

sharing files electronically. Use e-mail and voice-mail.

• Buy paper products with post-consumer recycled content.

Do double-sided photocopying and encourage staff to

use one-sided paper for scrap paper notepads.

• Recycle office paper, cardboard, beverage containers

and other recyclables.

• Recycle laser printer toner cartridges and copier

machine developer.

IT’S WASTE REDUCTION WEEK!

There are lots of things we can do

TUESDAY – HOUSE & HOME

We spend a large part of our day at home. Small changes

to reduce household consumption and improve efficiency

can really impact our daily waste. Here are some things

you can do at home to reduce, reuse and recycle waste:

• Use your Blue box to the fullest. This presents a great

opportunity to recycle.

• Put your leaf and yard wastes at the curb or take it to a depot.

Remember to save some leaves for your backyard composter.

• Start back-yard composting – it cuts down on household waste

by as much as one-third! Composting produces a valuable

nutrient-rich product called compost that is great for your

garden and lawn. Even people in apartments can compost

using compact vermi-culture containers.

• Replace disposable items with reusable ones. For example,

buy a reusable coffee filter; replace disposable batteries with

rechargeable ones; use cloth towels instead of paper.

• Before you throw it away, think of how you can reuse it! Egg

cartons, foil plates, popsicle sticks, yogurt cups, and paper towel

rolls make great craft items for schools and daycares. If you sew,

use old jeans or curtains to make sturdy reusable shopping bags.

• Make a “no flyer” sign to reduce junk mail delivery, cancel the

newspaper while you’re on holidays and recycle all paper products.

• Take your hazardous materials (e.g. paint, batteries) to the W 12-A

landfill for recycling (check the City’s waste calendar for details).

 

 

 

WEDNESDAY – SCHOOL

Did you know a lunch packed with reusable items is

typically 45% less expensive and contains 90% less waste

than a lunch packed with single use items? School is the

perfect place to practice waste reduction. Run your own

composting or recycling programs. The lessons children

learn in school can become lifetime habits. Below are

some activities for teachers and students;

• Hold a “waste-free” lunch day, week or month! Encourage

students to pack their lunches in a reusable bag or lunch box,

use resealable containers for sandwiches or snacks, a thermos

for drinks and a cloth napkin and reusable utensils.

• Involve the whole school in a competition measuring each class’s waste,

hold a secret tally and announce the winning class at an assembly.

• Recycle paper and beverage containers.

• Vermicomposting is a great way to compost indoors – using Red

Wiggler worms. These critters eat and excrete their own weight in

left-over lunch scraps every day! You can feed your worms

vegetables and fruit, coffee grounds, tea bags and egg shells.

• Students can research a product’s lifecycle to discover the amount

of natural resources needed to design, produce, deliver and

dispose of commercial goods. Students can pick an item like

a car, T-shirt, banana, running shoes, etc. and then consider:

1. What kind of equipment is required to grow

or extract the raw resources?

2. What kind of fuel is required to extract, process,

manufacture and transport the resources?

3. How might some of these environmental impacts be avoided?

• Crayon Recycling Program – Gather up old and broken crayons and

ship them to: LAF Lines Ltd., 16830 Edgewood Avenue, Wayzata,

Minnesota, USA 55391. For every pound of crayons received, you

will receive one “Crazy Crayon” back

 

 

 

THURSDAY – SHOPPING

Smart shopping is an important way to reduce waste.

Shoppers have the power to prevent waste before it

begins. Some shopping tips:

• For every item you buy, think of how you will consume it,

store it, maintain it or dispose of it. Buy only what you need.

• Only keep things you enjoy or use regularly. Give unused or

unwanted items to a second-hand store or charity.

• Buy products, not packaging. You’ll save money and energy.

In the produce section, you can pay up to 45% more for food

packaged on a shrink-wrapped plastic tray and you’ll be paying

twice – first for the cost of the product, then to dispose of it!

• Buy bulk – it reduces packaging and costs less. Buy only

what you need and consider splitting extra-large items

with friends and family.

• Buy local – transportation consumes huge amounts

of fossil fuels and adds to greenhouse gas emissions.

• Buy recycled – take note of the percentage of recycled content

that is “post-consumer”. Post-consumer recycled products (as

opposed to post industrial) are in fact, “more recycled” because

individuals have already used them.

 

 

 

FRIDAY – COMMUNITY

You can reach out to your community during Waste

Reduction Week and all year round. Here’s how:

• Support local environmental groups and local

environmental initiatives.

• Join a local environmental group such as the Thames Region

Ecological Association and help promote environmental

awareness. See www.trea.ca for details.

• Support local groups such as London Composts that link

the benefits of compost-use with food production and

helping the London Food Bank.

• Participate in community events such as London’s Clean

and Green Day and the London Cares Foodbank Drive

(combined with Blue Box collection).

• Distribute or organize a community litter clean-up and separate

the litter into recyclable and non-recyclable components.

• Become an environmental citizen. Take responsibility for the health

of your community in two ways: learning and acting. Get involved

in education and decision-making around environmental issues.

• Have a garage sale, swap or sale of used sporting goods, books.

Lilly Home and Design

www.lillyhomeanddesign.com

The story of Lilly began with a simple idea – create an inspiring studio where people can come and experience the design possibilities for their unique spaces.

We believe an individual’s home and environment has a significant impact on their happiness and how they feel about themselves. Knowing this, we were certain we could make a difference in our clients’ lives by helping them to create a home or space that achieves their aspirations and gives them happiness.

As a team, our style inspiration is found in nature – the beauty and peacefulness of the water, the sky and the earth. These design elements are calming, yet elegant; edgy and fun; gorgeous, yet time worn; cozy and sophisticated at the same time; and, always enduring.

At Lilly, we embrace quality, awesome service, and a commitment to eco-friendly outcomes and North American production, whenever possible. We made a choice to develop partnerships with companies and craftspeople who believe in the same values. So, our products are of the highest level of craftsmanship, style and are often one-of-a-kind.

About Mole Mapping

Medpoint Health Care Centre

www.medpoint.ca

Mole Mapping

Alex Hanham

Pigmented lesions can be found on the skin of almost all adults. Some people have only a few lesions, while others have too many to count. In most cases, these lesions are classified as benign nevi or keratoses. Over time, however, these lesions may change into dysplastic nevi or even melanoma.

The incidence of skin cancer is increasing at an alarming rate. The most reliable statistics estimate that there were approximately 800,000 Americans newly diagnosed with skin cancer in 1995. This includes basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and malignant melanoma.

Particularly lethal are the malignant melanomas. With the incidence of skin cancer nearly doubling in the last decade, more than 34,000 people develop melanoma every year, and over 7,000 die from it. Malignant melanoma is the leading cause of death from diseases of the skin.

The most effective method of attacking malignant melanoma is by diagnosing it at an early stage of its development, when prognosis for cure by surgical removal is excellent. The key to early detection is to monitor moles for any change in size, shape or color.

Mole mapping provides a baseline reference for tracking moles. During a mole mapping session, the entire surface of a patient’s skin is documented photographically. By referring to these photos during skin self-exams or office visits, patients and physicians are better able to determine when a change has occurred in any mole on the body. Such a suspicious mole may then be monitored more closely or, if necessary, removed.

Molemap.com recommends that all high-risk skin cancer patients consult with their physicians regarding the benefits of mole mapping. Those at high risk include fair-skinned individuals, those with a great number of moles and anyone with a personal or family history of skin cancer.

Music for Young Children

www.MYC.com

 Why your child should study music

  • Exposure to music makes children smarter.
  • Children who take piano lessons are able to learn complex math problems earlier than those who’ve had no musical training.
  • Adults who studied music before the age of 12 had better memories for words than those who did not. – researchers at the Chinese University of Hong Kong
  • Significantly more of the brain is used during music making than previously thought. – Dr. Lawrence Parsons of the University of Texas – San Antonio
  • Rhythmic movement plays a critical role in the reading process – the ability to keep a steady beat – simply clapping hands rhythmically – figures prominently in cognitive development. – Phyllis Weikart the University of Michigan
  • Music training, specifically piano instruction, is far superior to computer instruction in dramatically enhancing children’s abstract reasoning skills necessary for learning math and science. – psychologist Dr. Frances Rauscher of the University of Wisconsin
  • Preschoolers have lots to gain from listening to music because it encourages movement. – Dr. Rosalie Pratt, Brigham Young University

MYC builds a solid foundation of understanding and enjoyment of music. Singing together creates a special bond. Keyboard playing and rhythm ensembles nurture team skills. Creative movement develops individual expressiveness. Music reading and theory are reinforced with group activities and with colorful, hands-on materials. Composing integrates aural and written skills and gives children a sense of ownership.

Why your child should begin with MYC

  • Because it’s fun!! (In addition to being of superior quality, very comprehensive, confidence building and a wonderful way to begin the study of music.)
  • Because the child and parent bond as a “music team” during lessons and that carries on at home during daily practice and other family activities.
  • Because this program provides so much musicianship training to young children that it’s got to be seen and heard to be believed!!
  • Because a 66% student return rate and a 90% teacher return rate make a statement about the outstanding quality of the program.
  • Because 24,000 happy students a year can’t be wrong!!

Brain Cooperation in Composition

Scientists have devised a technique that reveals the extent to which different regions of the brain cooperate during musical activities such as listening and composing. Patterns of cooperative function have been found and these patterns can be different when the same person uses different listening strategies. When one person is listening to the pattern and structure in Mozart and then listens to the sound patterns in Schoenberg, his brain waves show differences in their pattern of cooperativity. The amount of brain coherence increases greatly during composition, relative to listening.

The Composition component of MYC allows children to explore creativity, while being given a foundation on which to build. The students are immersed in musical singing and playing and movement and then guided with suggestions as to the structure that is found in many classical compositions. Children are fulfilled with their own creations – some being very analytical first, followed by creativity, while others create first and then become more cognitive. The composition component of MYC enhances the listening component and the theoretical aspects of MYC, as well as the enhancement of self-esteem as the children are delighted with their accomplishments.

Ear Infections:  Can Chiropractic Help?

Ear infections (otitis media) are the most common cause of pediatric visits and subsequent antibiotic use during the first two years of a child’s life.  Presently, the use of antibiotic therapy for treatment of otitis media has become quite controversial.  Some research shows that antibiotic treatment of otitis media is no more effective than a placebo and may also can increase the risk of reoccurrence (Cantekin, 1994).  This is due to the majority of ear infections being viral not bacterial in nature.

Regardless of which type of microorganism is involved, one thing is usually true.  For an infection to occur, the body’s immune system must be impaired. Due to the intimate relationship between the nerve system and the immune system, a Chiropractic check up for Vertebral Subluxations is a healthy step for all children and adults.

A Subluxation is a misalignment in the spine that alters function of the nerve system and the tissues it operates.  A study found that 93 percent of all episodes of otitis media improved with chiropractic care. Seventy-five percent of the cases improved in 10 days or less, and 43 percent with only one or two adjustments (Froehle, 1996).  Chiropractic is not a treatment for otitis media, but a method of increasing health in the body.

Loyalty Unplugged:
How to Get, Keep & Grow All Four Generations

Loyalty is dead, or is it? In Loyalty Unplugged: How to Get, Keep & Grow All Four Generations, Giselle Kovary and Adwoa K. Buahene definitively answer this question. We reframe the concept of loyalty against the design and execution of people strategies. We suggest that the goal of people leaders should be to create employee engagement not loyalty. The four generations in the workplace – Traditionalist, Baby Boomer, Gen X and Gen Y – demonstrate different workplace behaviours because of their unique identities. Leaders must maximize those behaviours while managing the generational differences in the workplace to create an engaged workforce.

Loyalty Unplugged clarifies how to get, keep, and grow your human capital by responding to the identities of different generations in the workplace. The book outlines what your organization must do to build an engaged workforce. It shows leaders how to demonstrate the characteristics of organizational engagement.

This book from n-gen is based on more than three years of research and client work. It is a comprehensive reference guide for all leaders responsible for getting, keeping, and growing high-performance employees. It tackles the why, what, and how to, within recruitment, orientation, total rewards programs, employee brand promises, career- pathing, learning and development, mentoring, performance management, succession planning and management practices.

Did you know that exposure to music makes children smarter? And children who take piano lessons are able to learn complex math problems earlier than those who’ve had no musical training. We are going to talk about the Music for Young Children program next week too.

Something else that you may be hearing more about lately is something called Sleep Dentistry. We are going to find out what this is all about and why feeling anxious before a dentist appointment could be a thing of the past! Tune in Saturday September 26th from 7-9am!

The Wellspring Story

Development Manager
Wellspring London and Region Foundation
P: 519.438.7379
joanna@wellspringlondon.ca

People who are diagnosed with cancer today hope for a cure.  But they can’t wait for one.  They need to cope with cancer now.  And to do this, they need something else, in addition to their medical care.  They need help from people who understand the psychological, emotional, social and practical consequences of cancer and its treatments, and so do their families.

This is what Wellspring does, and does best.

Wellspring helps people restore the dignity and control they so often lose when diagnosed with cancer.  Wellspring is about helping people feel that they will be able to cope when cancer strikes them or one of their family members.  Wellspring is about helping people live with cancer.

Founded in a welcoming coach house in 1992, Wellspring is an innovative network of centres providing high-quality cancer support, education and coping skills to a growing number of individuals, family members and professional caregivers in Canada.  At the core of the Wellspring network is the Centre of Innovation, which fosters new program development, research and evaluation, quality control, expansion and outreach to underserved communities.
Wellspring programs are free of charge and open to individuals and caregivers who are coping with any type of cancer, at any stage.  They include individual and group support, coping skills, expressive therapies, energy work and educational workshops and presentations and are housed at warm, non-institutional Wellspring centres.

Wellspring charges no fees and receives no core government funding.  Programs and operations are made possible through the generosity of donors.  You can support the Wellspring mission by making a donation or contributing your time as a volunteer.

Our History

In 1980 the members of the Church at Westmount (now the AGAPE Foundation) saw the need for community based services for adults living with the effects of an acquired brain injury. Funding was secured from the Ontario Government and the site was provided by the members of the Church at Westmount. The result of their concern and hard work was the establishment of a transitional living centre called The Dale Home in 1984, one of the first such programs in the province.

From its grass roots inception Dale Services was a leader in innovative approaches to service delivery. By 1990, the services provided by The Dale Home outgrew the location. We had rearticulated our model of service delivery to build in clinical accountability, comprehensive rehabilitation services and a more normalized approach. Through a major donation by the AGAPE Foundation we are able to design and build The Dale Centre. Operating funding from the Ministry of Health enabled us to continue to enhance and expand services. Accordingly, the Dale Home was transformed to Dale Head Injury Services. By 1996 developments in the field of acquired brain injury and current terminology led to a decision to change our name to Dale Brain Injury Services.

We have progressed through many changes since those early days and we are committed to growth and evolution in the future. What has remained constant and will not change is our commitment to our Participants and our role in helping them to build their futures.

 

What a Girl Wants

Christine McKinlay

Fund Development Manager

Canadian Liver Foundation

London Chapter 

Phone: (519) 659-0951

As parents, spouses and caregivers, women play a critical role in managing and maintaining the health of their families.  The liver plays a similar multi-tasking (and often unsung) role in nurturing and protecting the health of the body. Unfortunately, neither tends to get the credit they deserve! That is why the Canadian Liver Foundation would like to take the opportunity to highlight both the importance of liver health and of women as our health ‘guardians’.

We invite you to join us for the ultimate “Girls Night Out” for women and the men who love them!  Enjoy a special evening including gourmet tapas, a live and silent auction of designer handbags and other luxury items, a complimentary swag bag, door prizes and entertainment.

This event has been held across the country in Ottawa, Calgary, Winnipeg, Toronto, Vancouver and now we are bringing it to you in London, Ontario. 

What a Girl Wants was started in Ottawa in celebration of Trina Morissette and her mother. They are a symbol of hope, progress and inspiration for the 1 in 10 Canadians affected by liver disease. Trina’s mother was unexpectedly diagnosed with a serious liver disease in 2006 and was told she would require a transplant to save her life.  Trina underwent surgery so that three-quarters of her liver could be removed and transplanted into her mother.  Today, Trina and her mother are living proof that research and education can make a difference.  Proceeds of this event benefit support  liver disease research and education.  Research funding is vital if we are to find a cure, discover the causes and prevent liver disease in our families, now and in the future.
