Judi’s Notes:According to the Georgian

calendar, March is the thirdmonth of the year. According tothe early Roman calendar, it wasthe first month and was calledMartius. The ancient Romans latermade Jan. 1 the beginning of theyear, and March became the thirdmonth on the calendar. March hasalways had 31 days. Its namehonors Mars, the Roman Godof War.

The winter ends with March, andthen comes spring. Spring in thenorthern half of the world beginswith March 19, 20, or 21. It’s theday when the sun is directly overthe equator. March can either feelwintry or springy, with as manyblustery, windy days as there aremild, sunny days.

In the northern hemisphere, theanimals end their hibernation andmany plants come to life again inMarch. The sap flows in the treesagain, and the buds begin to showup. Bears, woodchucks, andchipmunks leave their hibernatingspots. People begin to startlooking for the first robin, for thebeginning of spring arrival.

There are no national holidays inMarch, but there are importantstate and religious holidays

celebrated.• Nebraskans celebrate the

admission of their state tothe Union on March 1.

• Texas celebrates March 2 asthe anniversary of itsindependence from Mexico.

• On March 4, the people ofPennsylvania commemoratethe granting of the state’scharter to William Pennin 1681.

• The Irish celebrate March 17as the feast day of St. Patrick.

Our group loves to get out ofthe building and go! Just sowe don’t miss out on visits

from families and friends, wetry to keep our outings onThursday afternoons. For

specific outing details, dates,or times, please feel free to

contact Amanda or Melissa byphone or email at

[email protected] friends or family

members are always welcometo join us on our outings!

Ray loves him someFOOTBALL!

Neighborhood News!The Neighborhood started off 2013 with adding

two exercise classes per day. You can see us‘moving and shaking’ our limbs after every

breakfast and lunch. We have been enjoyingmonthly entertainment by Matthew Stoneman

and Armando. While our days are busy withactivities, we will start to wind down our days

with classic movies. Every night after dinner, wewill show a classic movie. Who wouldn’t go tobed with a smile after watching Cary Grant or

Fred Astaire?

Are YOU a Pisces?!?!Pisces is a water sign along with

Cancer & Scorpio. Unlike theother two water signs, Pisces are alot more easy-going emotionally.They aren’t going to throw theirchampagne glasses at you in arage, or board up the door so youwon’t ever leave home, but theywill offer you a world ofexcitement. The Piscean has anatural way of connecting with allwhom they come in contact with.The Pisces will look at you acertain way and they will say theright things to make you feel goodabout yourself. They appear warm,caring, and friendly, while at thesame time their mind can be milesand miles away. Pisceans arebeautiful people who see allsituations from both sides,because in their eyes everythingright can still be wrong, andeverything wrong can still be rightand at the same time it’s all good.

To them the chauffeur is just asinteresting as the celebrity they arechauffeuring. It’s like two fishswimming in opposite directions.Hmm, that says something onwhy their symbol is two fishswimming in different directions.The Pisces seem to havedistinguished extra metaphysicaland super intuitive abilities &have a way of getting you to seethe truth from your own eyes nomatter how much it hurts. It issaid that Pisces people are similarto a sponge that uncontrollablyabsorbs everything, either good orbad, & that’s very painful for theirsoul. This may lead them intostates of depression, but they willdisguise their insecurities so wellthat many will lean on themwithout offering them a hand orasking them if they are okay &well since they are always sohappy. So, take care of your Piscesfriends & appreciate them for theirkindness.

Nerissa’s Corner:Infections with influenza viruses

occur every year, eithersporadically as local outbreaks or

as a widespread epidemic.Epidemics occur almost

exclusively during the wintermonths. Attack rates are high

among the elderly and children,especially those with chronic

medical conditions or chronicdiseases.

A unique feature of Influenzavirus is the frequency with which

antigenicity occur. Because ofthese alterations, variants of the

viruses develop to which thepopulation at risk has little or noresistance, which helps explain

why Influenza epidemicscontinue.

As we all know, prevention ofInfluenza is best accomplished byannual vaccination especially forthose who are at risk. Adjunctive

therapy for Influenza includesmeasures to provide symptomatic

relief.

Increase fluid intake, remain inbed for a couple of days, usecough medicines to relieve

coughs, and antifebrile medicineto reduce fever. If suspected ordiagnosed with Pneumonia,

antibiotics should beadministered. Precautions must beobserved to prevent the spread of

the virus. It spreads by aerosol

droplets expelled during coughingor sneezing. Covering the mouthwhen coughing or sneezing is soimportant to remember. Hand

washing and hand sanitizing mustbe observed at all times.

Environmental sanitation usingbleach and water is an effective

disinfectant (1/3 cup bleach in 1gallon of water) to surfaces, tile

floors, counters, sinks, and toilets.A mixture of 1 Tbsp bleach in 1gallon of water can be used for

food/mouth contact items, toys orstainless steel surfaces. Make sure

to use chemicals in well-ventilatedareas. Handle contaminatedmaterial as little as possible.

Again, observe hand washing andhand sanitizing at all times. And ifyou haven’t received a Flu vaccine,

it’s not too late. Get vaccinatednow.

Welc me

We would like to take thisopportunity to welcome all of

our new residents to ourcommunity. We are so happy to

have you as a part of ourcommunity, and if there is

anything we can do to makeyour transition here more

comfortable, please let us know.
