Campvention meeting rescheduled (NC)—Inclement weather can force even the most active people indoors and mid-winter depression is common in colder climates like Canada. St. John Ambulance, the national leader in first aid training and products, suggests these simple ways to beat the winter blahs. 1. Keep active. Exercise is a healthy alternative that will keep your mind and body in shape. 2. Get fresh air. Get outside, even for brief periods, to cleanse your mind and revitalize your spirit. 3. Avoid alcohol or drugs. Chemical depressants can have detrimental effects anytime and can trigger depression. 4. Soak up some sun. Going out on a sunny winter day can help to increase your level of Vitamin D, a natural depression-fighter. Moderate use of tanning beds is another alternative. 5. Get plenty of rest. Fatigue can be harmful in many ways, including your mental disposition. 6. Be involved. Social and recreational activities are a great way to chase away the blues while also providing healthy exercise and stimulating mental activity. 7. Eat right. Cold, dark days can rob your body of essential nutrients. Make sure you feed your needs. 8. Take a holiday. You don't have to take an expensive vacation to reduce the effects of day-to-day stress. Give yourself a break regularly—even an afternoon outing will make a positive difference. 9. See your doctor. Sometimes depression gets out of control. In fact, it can be a medical condition that requires treatment. If you can't seem to shake the blues, see your doctor for help. 10. Exercise your mind. Long winter days are a great time to learn new skills, which will occupy your time and keep your mental faculties alert. First aid training is your best defence in an emergency. St. John Ambulance is Canada's leading provider of high quality courses and first aid products. Take it from the best.

The next euchre is Feb. 13 at 7:30 p.m. in the Legion Hall. This past weekend we have seen Mother Nature at her worst. After having very little snow we now have several feet of snow piled up. I have no church news as many church services were cancelled in the area yesterday. Many roads are closed and most all schools are closed today except for the schools in the cities and many meetings have had to be cancelled. The children have lots of snow to play in on their snow day. The weather affected many Super Bowl parties as the visibility was not good and many highways were closed and are still closed today. We have to get back to winter driving as we didn't have to worry about it for the month of January. A meeting planned to discuss Campvention that was originally scheduled for Feb. 8 at 8 pm has been rescheduled for Monday, Feb. 20, 2006 at 7:30 p.m. It will be held upstairs at the Blyth Community Centre. Don't let winter get you down
