Zurich homcs havc a host of baautiful Christmas lights
By Carmel Sweeney
ZURICH CORRESPONDENT
ZURICH - Wow, I guess
we all made it through
another Christmas, eh
with all the rush of shop-
ping and wrapping and
gifts, baking and prepar-
ing meals for relatives,
etc.?
The weather was great
for those travelling to var-
ious places to celebrate
the holidays with their
families.
Our midnight Mass of
the Nativity (which was
actually at 10 p.m.) this
year at St. Boniface
Church was just beauti-
fully decorated for the
occasion and the choir
was just great!
Several family get-
togethers were held in
the village and I am sure
all had a good time visit-
ing and eating.
The Sweeney families
(about 20 of us) had a
wonderful Christmas
turkey dinner (with all
the trimmings) at the
farm house of our grand-
son, Tim Klopp this year
at RR 2 Zurich. We all
helped with bringing the
food for a delicious meal.
Afterwards in the
evening everyone headed
for the Maple Woods
Apartments to join the
rest of the Gelinas family
members to celebrate
Christmas with Marie
Gelinas. Relatives came
from various places and
enjoyed visiting and eat-
ing again, playing our gift
exchange (stealing game)
followed by music and a
sing along. A good time
was had by all.
The family of John and
Bridget Groot held their
big family Christmas din-
ner and get-together on
Sun., Dec. 23 at the
Complex in Zurich for
about 70 people, being
their children and spous-
es, grand and great grand
children attending.
Victor and Irene
Hartmann of the Parkside
subdivision celebrated
Christmas with their fam-
ily on Boxing Day, having
dinner at their home.

Capsule Comments
by Ernie Miatello
The start of a new year often enables us to ask
questions about our habits during the old year. Much
is written about the dangers of smoking but alcohol
consumption can be a problem especially when it's
too much. A few years ago, a short test was devised
to help people determine if they were drinking too
much.
1. Have you ever felt you should cut down on your drinking? 2. Have you
been annoyed by people who criticize your drinking? 3. Have you ever felt
bad or guilty about your drinking? 4. Have you ever had an incomplete
memory of the evening before due to drinking? 5. Have you ever taken a
drink first thing in the morning to steady your nerves?
If you answered yes to many of these questions, it may be time to
obtain some help. You may have a drinking problem. Besides the social
problems that too much alcohol can cause, it can interfere with restful
sleep. It can interact with many prescribed and over-the-counter
medications. And these interactions can reduce mental and physical well-
being.
Whether it is enjoying these yummy high-fat hamburgers, those highly
sugared soft drinks or drinks of wine or spirits, moderation is the key.
Some people have cut alcohol out of their life altogether and are amazed
at how good they feel physically, mentally and spiritually.
On behalf of all the wonderful people who work in our pharmacy, I wish
you only the very best for 2008. We look forward to serving you in our
pharmacy soon.
