Issue 1 | Manor Message Page 5 Inspirational Moments By Warnedie Cross, Resident Volunteer The BearNot long ago on the Discovery Channel. They showed a movie called “The Bear” it’s a story about alittle baby bar whose mother died in an accident right at the beginning of the movie. It held yourattention and since the mama bear dies at the beginning of the movie you immediately begin towonder what’s going to happen to the little baby bear. When out of the woods comes a huge Kodiacbear. One of those Alaskan grizzly bears and he kind of adopts the little baby bear and they do livetogether. The big bear teaches the baby bear how to live, how to grub for insects, how to fish in thestream and how to scratch himself against the trees.The baby bear does everything he sees the big bear do, but as the movie continues, they get separatedfrom each other. All of a sudden the baby bear is out on his own, he didn’t know – that since the daythat his mother had died a mountain lion had been tracking him, waiting for a moment like this – anunwittingly, as the movie continues they meet face to face across from each other standing on oppositesides of the road. The mountain lion is then ready to pounce, when all of a sudden the baby bear didwhat the big bear would have done in a moment like this. He got up on hind paws and he put up hislittle paws and he tried to roar but nothing came out but a little squeak. He didn’t have his wholevoice yet and the camera panned back so you could see the lion who had a look now of absolute terrorin his eyes and began to slink backwards and run away. The camera then goes back to the little babybear who is standing there surprised that his little squeak had been so effective. But at the moment thecamera backs up further so you can see the bigger picture, and what you see – is what the baby bearcould not see was that just a couple of feet behind him was the big Kodiac bear standing on his hindlegs with his paws up. The reason that the lion ran away is that the baby was never by himself, andthat the big bear was always a couple of steps behind him. He couldn’t hear him, he couldn’t feel him,he couldn’t smell him but the big bear was there all the time. Can I talk to somebody here? Becauseyou don’t have to be afraid baby bear, because there’s a big bear standing behind you and nothing canseparate you from HIS love. We don’t have to be fearful or dismayed because Jesus will never leaveus along.

Issue 1 | Manor Message Page 6 Coordinator’s Corner By Nicole Wingenfeld, Service CoordinatorAmericans Still Consume Too Much Salt: CDCMost of it comes from processed or restaurant food, not salt shaker, experts sayTHURSDAY, Jan. 7, 2016 (Health Day News) -- Most Americans eat too much salt on a daily basis,potentially putting their health at risk, federal health officials reported Thursday.More than 90 percent of children and 89 percent of adults consume more sodium than isrecommended in the new 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, according to the U.S.Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The new guidelines advise no more than 2,300milligrams (mg) of salt a day -- about a teaspoon -- for most adults. "Nearly all Americans,regardless of age, race or gender, consume more salt than is recommended for a healthy diet," saidlead study author Sandra Jackson, an epidemiologist in the CDC's division for heart disease andstroke prevention.The CDC report was published in the Jan. 8 issue of the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.Too much salt can lead to high blood pressure, which can increase the risk for heart disease and OSM Board of Trusteesstroke. "Reducing salt can lower blood pressure and also lower the risk of heart disease," Jacksonsaid. Jackson said that about 70 million American adults have high blood pressure and only half haveit under control. Heart disease, stroke and other heart-related diseases kill more than 800,000Americans each year and cost nearly $320 billion a year in health care and lost productivity, she Johnnie Jackson, Board Chairadded. The latest federal Dietary Guidelines for Americans -- released Thursday -- emphasize cuttingback on salt, sugar and saturated fats. The recommendations also advise increasing amounts of fruits, Dereka Johnson, Vice Chairvegetables and whole grains in the diet. Despite long-standing advice to cut back on salt, Americans'consumption of salt has stayed mostly the same during the past decade, Jackson said. Rev. David Huber, TreasurerThat's likely because more than three-quarters of the salt (sodium) that people eat comes fromprocessed or packaged foods, and restaurant food. This hidden salt makes it hard for people to reduce Diane Hicks-Walker, Secretarythe amount of salt they consume, she said. To see a big impact on salt intake, restaurants and foodmanufacturers would need to cut the amount of salt they put in food, Jackson said. "That's the most Natalie Brothers, Memberpowerful public health tool for reducing salt for the American population," she said. Some companieshave started to reduce salt in their products voluntarily and others are being urged to do the same, Carolyn Kimbrough, MemberJackson pointed out. Samantha Heller is senior clinical nutritionist at New York University MedicalCenter in New York City. She noted that reducing salt consumption can be confusing for consumers Michelle Williams, Memberbecause many foods high in salt don't necessarily taste salty. "For example, a commercially bakedchocolate crumb-cake donut has 490 mg of salt, and the salt in bagels can run over 1,000 mg per Myra Davenport, Memberbagel," Heller said. "Chain-restaurant pasta dishes can contain well over 2,000 mg of salt per dish,"she said. "One of the easiest ways to reduce our salt intake is to eat more home-cooked foods usingless-processed products," she added. The latest dietary information on salt comes from nearly 15,000 Judy Piccininni, Memberpeople who took part in the 2009-2012 National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys.Although too much salt is a problem for all men and women and all races, the new report noted somedifferences in salt consumption: More men (98 percent) than women (80 percent) consume too muchsalt. More whites (90 percent) eat too much salt, compared with blacks (85 percent). Salt and calorieconsumption peaks between ages 19 and 50. Among those at increased risk for heart disease or stroke-- people 51 and older, blacks and people with high blood pressure -- more than three out of four eatmore than 2,300 mg of salt a day. Adults with high blood pressure eat slightly less salt than otheradults, but 86 percent of them still eat too much salt. Jackson suggested that consumers can cut thesalt in their diet by reading food labels and choosing foods low in salt. "Looking at the label is apowerful tool," she said. In addition, people can adopt a healthy eating plan, such as the onerecommended in the new guidelines, Jackson advised. "Also, people can adopt the DietaryApproaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH diet), which is an eating plan that is simple and hearthealthy," she said. "It's high in fruits, vegetables, fiber, potassium and low-fat dairy products."SOURCES: Sandra Jackson, Ph.D., epidemiologist, division for heart disease and stroke prevention, U.S. Centers for DiseaseControl and Prevention; Samantha Heller, M.S., R.D., senior clinical nutritionist, New York University Medical Center, NewYork City; Jan. 8, 2016, Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report

Issue 1 | Manor Message Page 7 Train Your Brain to be More Positive – Take the 21 Day Challenge!Harvard educated psychologist Shawn Achor has found that positive people lead healthier and happierlives and that in just 21 days you can train yourself to be more positive. Here’s what to do:1. The 3 Gratitudes. Each day write down 3 new things you are grateful for and why. Be specific. Instead of writing “I am grateful for my family”, write “I am grateful for my son Bob because he calls me every Friday and makes me laugh”.2. The Doubler. Each day write down one meaningful moment you experienced within the past 24 hours. Record as much detail as you can. It will cause your brain to “relive” the moment thus doubling the positive experience.3. The Fun Fifteen. Each day engage in 15 minutes of physical activity. If it’s been awhile since you’ve been active, start with 2 minutes and work your way up to 15. Consult with your doctor first in case there are certain activities you shouldn’t be doing. Otherwise, do what you enjoy.4. Meditation. Each day set aside 2 minutes to train your brain to focus better. Close your eyes and concentrate only on your breathing. Think of nothing else.5. Conscious Acts of Kindness. Each day send a letter/email to someone in your social circle thanking them. Be specific. For example, “I want you to know how thankful I am to have you as a friend. Whenever I feel down, you know just the right thing to say to cheer me up”.

Issue 1 | Manor Message Page 15 Mike’s Maintenance Tips By Michael Hooton, Maintenance Technician Just a few reminders about the snow removal from the parking areas will be as follows: A. Residents MUST remove the snow from their vehicles and move their vehicles as directed by maintenance. This will allow the contractor ample space to maneuver equipment and efficiently clear away snow and spread salt. Those vehicles parked in the open area need to be moved to visitor parking, and back carport area by 8:00 a.m. If the resident is unable to move his/her vehicle for MAJOR health reasons, he/she must make prior arrangements with someone to move his/her vehicle as required. Maintenance is not responsible for removing snow from resident vehicles or for moving resident vehicles to another location during snow removal. B. If a resident plans to be away from the property overnight or for a vacation and will be leaving his/her vehicle parked in front of their building, he/she must notify the office with the name and telephone number of the person who will be responsible in his/her absence in case of an emergency. C. If after snow removal has been completed your parking area is still icy, please let management know. We can order additional salting for your safety. D. Inoperable vehicles are not allowed on the property. If they are not removed, they will be towed at the car owner’s expense. E. A Container of salt will be provided at the front entrance. This container is for resident use when they notice a slippery spot on the sidewalk or at the entrance. This is for SAFETY REASONS ONLY!!! This salt is not to be used for any other reason than stated above. (Please notify the office when salt pails are less than ½ full). Dial 1 -734-740-4777 for after hour maintenance emergencies.

Issue 1 | Manor Message Page 16 Bruner’s Brief Bulletin By Graziella Bruner, Administrative AssistantMost people only see the “what they feel”, so if you're feeling bad, sad, or mad; then, of course that'swhat you're going to see. My parents use to say, to check your feelings before you put your foot onthe floor, first thing in the morning. They use to say, think about it, you woke up, you can move andyou were able to place your feet on the floor, so everything is good, then you should have a goodattitude. Everyone that went to bed last night, did not get up this morning! So thank the good Lord,that you're still here!We have to really count our blessings and not concentrate on the things that don't look good and don'tfeel good!Think on those things that good, pure, and true! When any situation arises, try to find the good in it.It's so easy to point out flaws and faults of others or situations. When we see a flaw or fault, weshould try to be the solution to the problem instead of enhancing the problem and making it worse.If more people would just take the time to always find the good in everything, I believe there would behappier people in this world. When you're in a good mood and feeling good about yourself, it willcause you to want to do “good” to others.So really do think before you speak, take a moment to check your feelings, what is your attitude like?Do you really need to say what you're about to say? Take the time to really count your blessings. TheSun is always shining somewhere and on someone. I’m wishing you all a very Prosperous and Joyous New Year! Have an awesome month.
