Rushed mornings, food-filled meetings, workplace celebrations, quick lunch breaks, mid-day slumps and end of day dinner struggles can make it difficult for staff members in SunCountry Health Region to eat well. But eating well at all times can boost a body's concentra-tion, productivity and vitality. It can also reduce missed days of work by helping to boostover-all health.
To encourage staff members at Sun Country Health Region and in the larger communityto eat well at work and make positive changes for a healthier work and food environment,the Population Health Promotion department of Sun Country Health Region is hosting acooking challenge this month. March is Nutrition Month in Saskatchewan
Strong public health nutrition practice is critical to protecting and enhancing the healthof the population, says Janice Giroux, Vice President, Community Health for Sun CountryHealth Region.
"Healthy eating means eating a variety of foods from the four food groups to feel goodand maintain your health. Eating well, along with being active, can also lower your risk ofdisease and help you reach and maintain a healthy weight," she says.
#iCook Challenge Coordinator and Public Health Nutritionist Barb Wright echoes that thought. A healthy diet is a major factor in good health, she says. "Lifestyle and dietary changes can help
prevent some chronic diseases such as heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and certain cancers." "Many people find that eating healthy meals and snacks at work is a challenge," says Mrs. Wright. In general, Canadians are spending less time preparing meals, she says. "Food skills like
cooking and meal planning are being lost in the shuffle of competing priorities and sched-ules. It is important for us to make time to prepare our foods at home and plan for healthymeals at work."
Four #icook Challenges will take place during March in Sun Country Health Region.Each team will be made up of three health professionals who will have 15 minutes toprepare a healthy and tasty salad during the Challenge. Co-workers and spectators will beasked to taste each and vote to choose their favourite salad.
Challenges will take place in the following locations: Deerview Lodge on Friday, March13 at 1:30 p.m.; Weyburn Community Services Building on Thursday, March 19 at 10a.m.; Bengough Health Centre on Monday, March 23 at 11:30 a.m.; Carlyle CommunityServices Building on Wednesday, March 25 at 11 a.m.
The public is invited to watch the challenges in these four communities and to "like" theSCHR Population Health Promotion Facebook Page. Results from the #1cook Challengeand other nutrition tips will be posted regularly on that page throughout Nutrition Month.

Setting a goalBy Linda Wegner
So now that you've determined where you want to go in your career, what's the next step? Anexcerpt from my book 3D Success: Changing Careers in Mid Life puts it this way. "Simplyparking by the side of the road, convinced that you need to alter your course, is not enough.You need to know where you're ultimately headed. You've decided the direction, but now it'stime to focus on taking the right road. Although you don't have all the details worked out, beclear about the things you want to change in your career."
Whether it's a matter of a career change or a personal problem that needs to be addressed,trying to create change without a clear vision of the next step in that change can be comparedto reading a road map with less than perfect vision. The results can range from wasted time todisaster and that's where goal setting comes in.
Setting goals can involve proven guidelines and suggestions as well as well designed templatesbut the exercise also needs to incorporate your personal dreams and desires. Not only that,your reasons for wanting to reach those goals must be positive, attractive, compelling andappealing. Be assured that there will be potholes in the road but knowing where and why youare headed in a particular direction makes it easier to define your target.
It's essential that you pin down what you really want in this new phase of your life andalthough you can't possible predict all that will take place during the process, without a clearlystated objective, creating a plan becomes virtually impossible.
Above all, never forget that God loves you and wants you to succeed."For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "…plans to give you hope and a future."
By Andrea CorriganI recently read an article by Kate McIlwain regarding
the current generation of parents pampering their chil-dren. I found it fascinating that many of the points shebrought up have been fiercely discussed among many ofmy friends. I hope you enjoy it and to the parents thatthe write-up is intended for, it's not too late to makechanges, for the future of your children.
The article is entitled, Coddle kids paying high price. Enjoy!A generation of "snowplough" parents have pampered

When people choose a book to read, they often choose a book that someone recom-mends. Some get a title from a friend, but many look to the bestsellers list.
The songs or psalms of King David from 3,000 years ago, have been bestsellers, not for 30weeks, but for 30 centuries, that's a long time. They stayed on the bestsellers list because theyhave a message that helps in life.
Psalm 19 has a message that can change life for the better for many people today. One ofthe issues for people today is a poor self image, the thinking that there is nothing very goodin me. This thinking can be so destructive.
Reflect briefly on Psalm 19. David says to look at the amazing beauty of God's heavens.Think of the incredible beauty of the stars. Today we can look at the photos, from theHubble Telescope, of numerous galaxies in astonishing shapes and colors. Truly, the stars inthe heavens tell us of the wonderful creativity of God.
His next point is to reflect on what happens in the life of a person when God speaks, anda person listens, and follows the voice of God. David says that into this life comes new life,wisdom and joy. David saw this in his own life, when God spoke to him, and he also saw thisin the lives of other people. He is saying that when the voice of God truly touches a personsomething wonderful happen in the life of that person.
Lastly, he talks about himself. He says that his life is full of errors, faults and sins. It seemsthat he is saying, look at the beauty of God's amazing heavens, look at the beauty of a lifetouched by God's voice, and look at sinful me. But David isn't only thinking about his sin, heasks God to forgive his sin, and to protect him from sin. And David knows that he will beforgiven, he will be blameless and washed clean from his sin.

Snowplough parents
their children so much that they are driving a mental health epidemic among today's teenag-ers, a leading Australian child psychologist says.
Dr Michael Carr-Gregg, a high-profile parenting expert who spoke to teachers and par-ents at The Illawarra Grammar School this week, said many Generation X parents hadmade their children's lives so easy that the kids were left with no way to handle problems orovercome obstacles on their own.
"This generation of parents just push all the obstacles out of the way and try to make lifeas simple and as easy as possible for their kids," he said.
"On the face of it, that's admirable because we all want the best for our kids, but it teachesthem absolutely nothing about resilience and creates immense vulnerability when they leavehome and go into the big wide world."
A snowplough parent drives their child right to the school gate instead of making themcatch a bus or walk to school.
They buy their children all the latest gadgets and toys, wash, clean, cook and iron withoutmaking kids pitch in, and they make sure their sons and daughters only hand in meticuloushomework and assignments.
Dr Carr-Gregg blames this increasingly common parenting approach on guilt, caused bymothers and fathers not spending enough time with their children.
"Part of it is that you've got parents with much smaller sized families, [who are] lessconnected to extended families so there is less support," he said.
"The parents are time poor, they are guilty and they tend to indulge their kids too much."This was not only creating a generation of spoilt and overindulged children, he said, but
was contributing to an unprecedented mental health crisis by leaving young people ill-equipped to deal with their own problems.
He said the rates of depression, anxiety, substance abuse and suicide were higher inregional areas like Wollongong than in major capital cities.
"About one in four young people will have a major psychological problem before leaving school… so arguably this is the most vulnerable generation in the history of the Illawarra," he said.
"It's ironic because we've seen the First and Second World Wars and Vietnam but in fact, froma psychological point of view, these kids are less resilient than their parents or grandparents."
Dr Carr-Gregg said it was up to parents to help avert a bigger mental health crisis bymaking their children do the hard work.
"I have a rule of thumb, 'never do for your children what they can do for themselves'," he said.He said this meant putting children on a bus or bike, or showing them how to use public
transport to get to school.They should also have regular chores, strict rules about using technology and, when they
are old enough, a part-time job to teach them the value of money."We just have to stop pampering them - it's reached epidemic proportions," he said."Many of the kids I talk to have never actually cooked for themselves, they've never actually
made their own bed or tidied their own room, washed their clothes or ironed their shirts."Kids aren't made of glass and they are not going to shatter."
How to care for your kids without being a snowplough.• Make sure your kids get enough sleep: Sleep is the single most important study tool
because kids who don't get enough sleep are ''crabby and unpleasant and can't learn properly''.• Make sure they eat a healthy breakfast: Research suggests 10per cent of schoolchil-
dren don't eat breakfast and another 15per cent eat unhealthy food - they are neurologi-cally unteachable.
• Zero tolerance of alcohol: Alcohol is toxic to the developing brain, so children shouldnot drink anything at all until at least 16.
• Moderate and limit technology use: Dr Carr-Gregg says most parents are unaware oftools that allow them to block or moderate their children's internet and video game use.Parents need to use programs to allow kids to access the internet for homework but blocksocial media that will distract them.
• Talk to your kids. Eat at the table: Parents don't spend enough time talking one-on-one with their kids when they are young.
Eating at the dinner table leads to better academic results, language development andprotection against alcohol and drug abuse.

MAYOR'SMUSINGS
by Mayor Debra Button
If you are like me at this timeof year we are getting antsy tohave winter over. Coldweather, shoveling snow,mixed with a little rain justto make very thing an icymess, but we can also countour blessings that we don'thave the issues as we see in
the East coast. Howeverthere may be a positive fromall of that. Weyburn has beenon a winning streak latelywith our home-town athletesmaking it to the big time -including Graham DeLaet,Brendon LaBatte, DerrickPouliot, and Brett Jones who
was recently recruited to playfor the New York Giants. It'senough to have some peoplewondering if there's some-thing in the water here inWeyburn. Well, who knows?Maybe there is.
We're always happy to seeour local athletes move on tobigger and better things butwhen it comes to other mem-bers of the community, suchas our city staff, we are not
quite so happy when it hap-pens. As many of you knowour long-time Director of Fi-nance Jon Michaud is movingon to new opportunities inthe private sector. Jon has al-ways been one of those peoplewho has a gift for making allthose who come to city hallfeel comfortable and at easeas he discusses issues aroundtaxation and utilities. We willbe sad to see him go and wewish him well in his futureendeavours.
We will be facing a tax in-crease this year. We are stillworking to keep it as low aspossible but it will likely be inthe area of five per cent.Council is not approachingthis lightly. We want to makesure ratepayers keep as muchmoney in their pockets as pos-sible but we also want to en-
sure we can continue to de-liver high quality basic services.We are always under pressurewith existing infrastructureand how to make sure we keepit in good shape with goodmaintenance practices, al-though new would be nice itis also very pricey. The samegoes for some of our equip-ment. We were advised by ourFire Chief that we need a newaerial ladder truck for the costof $1.5 million, wow how doyou pay for that alone with-out adding the large operatingcost increases we see each yearand not stay under the 5%,but we will try we have doneit before and we will do itagain as there has to be a bal-ance between what is palatableto the public and what isneeded to sustain and growthe City.
The good news is that, justlike the whole province, theoil and gas downturn has beenfar less devastating than somemay have thought in theshort term. Over the past de-cade, as a city and a province,we have diversified and oureconomies are continuing togrow. We have learned fromthe "boom and bust" cycles inthe past and this time we aresucceeding is smoothing outthese cycles and we are pre-pared for whatever the futuresends our way and we are veryproud of that fact.
We have had the benefit inour city of terrific teamworkamong the private and publicsectors, as well as among regu-lar citizens. I'm pleased to seeus keep up this teamwork aswe continue to move forwardtogether.

Economical, versatile and fun, all-terrain vehicles have long beenindispensable tools on Canadian farms and ranches. But as thesize, power and popularity of ATVs has increased, so too has thepotential for serious injuries.
March 14 to 20 is National Farm Safety Week, a great time toreview the facts about ATVs and make sure you and your family areriding safe.
"It doesn't take much to roll an ATV," warns Canada SafetyCouncil's resident off-road expert Mike Prud'homme. "And there'snothing fun about an ATV rollover. If you have 600 pounds plusgear falling on you, it's going to be hard to push off."
If you use an ATV for work or recreation, follow these safetyprecautions to reduce your risk:
1. Train up. A few hours in a Canada Safety Council ATV coursecould save your life.
2. Suit up. Wear a helmet, eye protection, long pants, longsleeves, gloves and non-skid shoes for every ride.
3. Ride the right size. Always follow the manufacturer's recom-mendations. Adult-sized ATVs are not appropriate for childrenunder 16.
4. Ride by day. Even on familiar terrain, low light and reducedvisibility will increase the chances of a mishap. Park your ATV afterdark and in poor weather.
5. Never take passengers. Most ATVs are not designed for dou-bling. Do not attach passenger seats to your ATV.
When using ATVs for farm chores, be extra cautious when haul-ing or towing.
1. Lighten up. Check your owner's manual for load limits andresist the temptation to over load. Use proper tie-downs to secureyour load and properly distribute the weight. Weight distribution isextremely important. Any load will affect the performance and sta-bility of the vehicle, so adjust your driving accordingly.
2. Don't alter your ATV. Adding after-market passenger seats orother implements will affect the weight distribution and stability ofthe machine, increasing the likelihood of tip-over and rolloveraccidents.
