Did you know that there are actually about 15 different hormones that act and interact to metabolize fat? If you get them out of balance, fat loss stops, or even worse, becomes a fat gain! This week we will look at some of these hormones and their role in fat loss.

Many people think losing fat is about eating less and exercising more. In actuality that can cause a host of problems. Did you know that there are actually about 15 different hormones that act and interact to metabolize fat? If you get them out of balance, fat loss stops, or even worse, becomes a fat gain! This week we will look at some of these hormones and their role in fat loss. By Lois Ribovich As most of you know our granddaughter Dawn Grant has been in Afghanistan for the last six months. She is on her way home. We are thankful for this and so proud of her. She will join her husband Bobby and her
children Caitlin and Bubba in San Antonio, TX. They plan to leave the end of April for Alaska for the next three years. I have a bus trip to Mohegan sun on April 21st. This week we are celebrating Eggs Benedict Day on the 16th; Garlic Day on the 19th; and Zucchini Day also on the 19th.
By Kathie Lepper Not one person was complaining about the weather this morning. In fact, the folks on "The Ridge" are lovin' it.
The flower beds have some blooms; the trees are budding; and the birds are singing early in the mornings. I think spring has finally arrived. What's not to love? I stopped in at the Coffee Hour this past Thursday. The table was full of residents enjoying the social time. Pauline Watts reported that she counted eleven folks there. Our newest resident Loretta Porter was there. Loretta moved in last week. She said she really likes it here. The folks here at Cedar Ridge welcome her and wish her well as she gets settled in her new home. By Rev. Kenneth Marple, M.A. While labeling a can of food can have a great advantage, the labeling of people is attended with life-changing consequences. Throughout his life, Abraham Lincoln suffered recurrent periods of severe depression. At age 29, he was plunged into a deep depression by the death of Ann Rutledge, his first love. Lincoln became distracted, wandering aimlessly about the banks of the Sangamon River. Believing that he might be suicidal, friends deprived him of knives and razors. Photographs taken throughout Lincoln's life show only the profoundly sad look characteristic of depression. By Evangelist Eric Smith We all want to hear things that will help us live a better life. The Gospel writers knew the answer and John summarizes it up best in John 20:30-31, “Jesus did many other miraculous signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not recorded in this book. But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in His name.” More information is revealed when you read John 21:25, “Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.” It is beyond our imagination to give an actual number of books this world could contain. Even more so if there had been volumes of books written about the life of Christ how long would it take us to read all of them and study them to understand who Jesus is? It would be an impossible task. God knew the four Gospels would reveal His Son and His purpose in coming. Since the time of the apostles many volumes have been written about the Gospels.
Sage Quotations
Here's what some famous people had to say about those that choose politics as their vocation: • Politics is the gentle art of getting votes from the poor and campaign funds from the rich, by promising to protect each from the other. -- Anonymous By Jim Lewis Still In Prison
Sometimes in life an error in judgement can follow us for a long time. Let’s face it; there are times when we all mess up. The best we can hope for is to avoid the mistakes and when they do happen, pray that they don’t have long lasting effects. But what if they do? What if saying we are sorry and paying the bill don’t fix it? What if we can’t change the results, be forgiven by those we have affected, or even forgive ourselves? Then what? Do we have to carry the burden forever? Will it ever go away? By Esther Butcher We had a really nice sunny day on Sunday, the Sunday before was all snowy. I came out of Church and it was like a blizzard. I liked the sunshine day the best. So much for a rainy week, now the grass is getting green fast.
Esther Butcher and sister Gloria Johnson, Powell went to an appointment at Sayre on Thursday and shopped at Walmart after. On Friday Esther took time to go visit with Lynn Ayres, and show him a picture of the falls up the creek. It’s also in the book from the Leroy Museum. The falls did live thru the bad flood Granville had, I think it was in 1967. Saturday, Esther, Gloria and Josie went to Laporte to visit their sister Karen. It was still a pretty chilly day down there. Sister Street lost one of our good neighbors this past week. Dave McKerrow went on to walk in a better place. I will miss the loud "Hi, neighbor" whenever we were both outside which a year or so ago was a lot. I have an old tractor I use in place of an electric scooter. This has one cylinder and Dave always told me when he heard it he would glance to the sky because the sound reminded him of the helicopters in Vietnam. I never knew he was wounded and received the Purple Heart. He was not the type of guy to make sure everyone knew. I also had the privilege of working with his father Ted way back when many Twin Tier residents worked at (or should I say were employed by) the A & P in Horseheads, NY.
By Lorelei Colton Sympathies are extended to the family, friends and neighbors of Alba resident Dave McKerrow, who passed away last week following a brief battle with cancer. And also the same extended to the Aimee Hansell family. Aimee also passed away this past week and her battle with that dreaded disease was unfortunately much longer, her having been on our church’s prayer list for quite some time. We are all so sorry for these losses. I read in the local newspapers that Al Smith passed away. Al was married to my cousin Marcella Hyde-Smith of Canton. Marcella passed away last year.
By John Shaffer Some states have passed laws to require their state to cast its Electoral votes for the candidate who wins the most popular votes nationwide. If, for example, the Republican candidate won the most votes, California would be compelled to cast its 55 electoral votes for him – even if he came in second in the state. At least ten states, with 136 combined electoral votes, have voted to join a “compact” that will compel their electors to vote for the popular vote winner. It is not insignificant that all of these states have been reliably Democratic in recent presidential elections; and there is a trigger – the “compact” is not valid until states combining for 270 electoral votes sign on. There is a Constitutional difficulty with states forming compacts, and there are other serious problems with this law, not the least of which is the potential for the complete disenfranchisement of its own voters.
By Fr. Michael McCormick Dear Readers
Our celebration of Holy Week and Easter was glorious. I am always blessed by your prayerful participation in the mystery of our Lord’s death and resurrection. The prayers and the readings from the Bible are enough to send me through the roof with joy and faith renewed. This year I had a special little blessing. I will never forget the joy I felt as I baptized young Nolan Wetzel while he clapped and smiled the entire time! By Charles Rockwell Carol and I have a bird feeding tray just outside the kitchen window over the sink where I do the dishes. We are not experts, we just go by the pictures in several bird books.
For several weeks we had "Chubby," an immature Junco. He was a fat ball of feathers. He would feed an hour at a time. No wonder he was so fat. Then 8 or 9 Bluejays liked their peanuts still in the shell. As I watch they quickly steal one and up in the maple tree they break it open and then back to snitch another. By Lorelei Colton I hope you and yours enjoyed your Easter weekend, as did Ron and I. Our friend Lois Myers joined us Thursday evening and we attended the Maundy Thursday service at the East Canton Methodist Church where we heard a wonderful presentation about the Upper Room – both inspiring and educational – of the Last Supper, Communion, and how Passover came to be. It was very nice indeed. And Friday evening we attended the special service at our own Alba Church titled “Sights, Sounds and Smells”. It, too, was a very moving experience of reflection and prayer as we came “in touch” with the thorns, the nails, the wine vinegar, and the rest of the items attributed to the crucifixion. Pastor Charlotte did an outstanding job of this presentation.
