A Pleasant Past Time - the News

“Woman thrown out of C-P Hospital”

POTSDAM, NY - Potsdam Village Police indicate that they had to remove a woman from the Canton-Potsdam Hospital early this morning.
Police allege that Natasha S. Cook, 29, of Norfolk was refusing to leave the Canton-Potsdam Hospital emergency room and that she was using obscene language.
Cook was issued tickets for Trespass and Disorderly Conduct and ordered to appear in Potsdam Village Court on August 12th, 2009.

Okay, as you read this I wonder if your thoughts are running along the same lines as mind. This is a hospital; they have “things” to give someone to calm them down and supposedly medical personnel to deal with distraught, unreasonable and confused individuals. But C-P had to call the police to remove the woman and then issued tickets…damn, we live in a strange society!

“Woman Charged With Fake Labor”

CANTON, NY - St. Lawrence County Sheriff's Deputies have arrested Jamie L. Nichols, 26, of Ogdensburg.
On June 23rd, 2009, Nichols was arrested on a St. Lawrence County Court warrant in Ogdensburg and taken to the St. Lawrence County Correctional Facility.
Police say that while she was being booked into the facility Nichols stated she was pregnant and that it was a "high risk" pregnancy due to previous miscarriages. Police say that she further claimed that she was in labor and that her 'water' had broken.
Nichols was taken to Canton Potsdam Hospital where it was determined that she was not in labor and that her 'water' was actually urine.
Police allege that the incident was faked and are further investigating her claimed miscarriages. She was charged with 3rd-Degree False Reporting of an Incident and issued an appearance ticket.

Doesn't this just scream: what warrant? I mean you had to read this twice to understand why she was arrested in the first place, right? Damn must have been a slow news day!

Smart Food Choices Boost your Brain Power

I’m not gonna bore ya with all the research and medical stuff, I will merely list what is now being taunted as smart food choices that boost your brain power…ready? Here we go:

  1. Molluscs: Clams and oysters
  2. Berries: Blueberries and strawberries
  3. Cruciferous vegetables: Broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage
  4. Fatty fish: Salmon, mackerel and herring
  5. Green leafy vegetables: Spinach, kale and chard

    Feeding the fire.

When it comes to brain health, it’s not only the foods you eat, but when you eat them that matters. The brain is an organ with high-energy needs, so it requires a steady source of fuel for optimal performance — that means regularly spaced meals and snacks. Skipping meals and eating at irregular times robs the brain of much needed energy and can affect short term brain functions such as memory, concentration and mood.

One of the most important meals when it comes to brain function is breakfast. The morning meal is an ideal time to stock up on important nutrients that supply the brain with much needed energy after the overnight fast. It’s not surprising that numerous studies have shown that people who eat breakfast are better able to pay attention and concentrate throughout the day compared to those who skip the first meal of the day.

Okay, Tuesday is here, it is raining, light at the moment and I’m waiting to ascertain if and when I can get in my morning walk. If no walk, I’ll just fire up the Wii program and do one of those sweating exercising programs. Hopefully, the rain will cease and I can get outside.

Hey, keep smiling okay?
