PAGE 2. THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 2006.
There's music in the air, and it
seems it's Christmas music. The
advertising has begun to get serious
and the bazaars and musicat events
are being offered fast and furious.
The Toronto Santa Claus parade
was on the television on Sunday
The Brussels, Morris and Grey
Diabetic Group met at Huronlea,
Brussels on Wednesday, Nov. 15
with 18 in attendance.
Guest speaker, Perry May, spoke
on the cause, effect and prevention
of a number of foot problems that
affect all, but especially those with
diabetes. In particular he spoke of
neuropathy where you lose the
feeling in the nerve endings in your
feet.
He cited different experiences in
his practice where patients had
stepped on something — from a nail
to a child's toy — and could not feel
the damage to their foot.
Check your feet daily, wear white
socks, buy good fitting shoes, shop
with a segment on the planning and
work that goes .into this very large
production. This is the 102nd parade
and like many traditions it has
evolved, but some things just need to
stay the same. The joy of children is
the main focus and all decisions are
grounded in that fact. Mother Goose
and Santa are the only floats that are
present every year and no matter
how old our imagination is, those
two characters are the grounding for
keeping the imagination, innocence,
acceptance, joy and fun, that
separates the Christmas lovers from
the bah humbug folks.
So starting with the Eaton's and
their store, and continuing with the
elves of Toronto it was a fine parade,
for shoes in the afternoon and get to
a professional if you find a problem.
The meeting ran late so the only
business discussed, as lunch was
being served, was the upcoming
meetings and the conflicting April
date with the diabetic education day
in Mitchell.
The discussion of finance was
deferred to the March meeting. At
that meeting Linda Kieffer, nurse
educator working at both Wingham
and Listowel hospitals, will be the
speaker.
The lunch committee organized a
festive lunch.
A wish for a safe and healthy
holiday season was expressed by
all.
Lull of music and children, all ready
to make the spirit of Christmas come
alive once again.
A good view of the Seaforth Girl's
Band was part of the parade and a
chance to be reminded of a great
tradition that makes our
municipality proud.
Plans for Christmas are in the
works and a few of the parties have
been held or are in the stages of
coming to be. Getting festive in
November is a little tricky as the rain
and wind continues.
Sometimes I think we get a little
carried away doing the Christmas
gatherings in early fall and then
when the true season is upon us,
we're tuckered. So be sure to pace
your energy and keep the mood
festive and bright.
We've had lots of experience
lately with the health system as
consumers and friends of consumers
and I'm pleased to report all systems
are working well. Ralph's hand is
working just fine, thank you and it's
nice to see when doctors are actually
proud of their work and
acknowledge that they are quite
pleased as well.
So it's with gratitude that I think
about the history, changes,
challenges and reality of our
national health coverage. Thank you
for our system where everyone is
equal and the threat of bankruptcy is
not part of our health concerns.
Horror stories abound but like
everything else, unless you were
there ...
Get your parade duds out and get
_ready to support the Brussels version
of the Santa Claus parade at 5 p.m.
Saturday. Then it's onto the arena for
nourishment and free skating.
Enjoy the week.
Bye now, Betty G.W.

Diabetic group meets
Sshhh; it's a silent auction
Huronlea hosted a silent auction last weekend which by the looks of things was a success.
There was also a barbeque to raise funds for the Van der Meer family to help their recovery.
