JANUARY HIGHLIGHTS
By Marilyn Appner-Falor C.O. Sgt. (Ret.)
-------------------------------------------
We had a wonderful Christmas and
New Year’s Eve. Our family was invited to spend Christmas Eve at
(my cousin) Sherry and Frank Gehringer’s house near South Lyons,
and we had a wonderful meal. Each one drew a name for the present
exchange, and a good time was had by all. Especially my cousin
Dennis Czeryba. He received an "Air Swimmer," a large
helium filled shark with radio controls, that he used to attack most
everyone there. We spent Christmas Day at home and had a great meal
thank to Omaha Steaks Inc. We talked to all our far away relatives
and enjoyed the many football games which Michiganders won.
On New Years Eve we had tickets to
the VFW party, with a plate full of 1" prime rib, and all the
trimmings. And we shared a table with friends who made the evening
most enjoyable. Then watched the games, Sunday and finally the Rose
Bowl parade on Monday. That is why we didn’t get The Record online
until later in the week.
As you will see on P. 6, we
recently lost 2 former MCSO friends recently.
"Lenny" Bogucki, 70, was
fighting cancer, and finally passed away on December 22, 2011. He
was employed by MCSO for 27 years. Lenny and Jim Townsend were close
friends when Lenny served as a detective, a Liason Officer (Ida), on
the dive, marine and SWAT teams, and as an arson investigator.
Jim Barron, 85 passed away quietly
on Dec. 28, 2011. We found out in time to attend his funeral on
Tuesday (1/3/11).
Jim was employed by MCSO for 28
years, and retired as a Detective. He used to attend our 2nd Monday
Breakfasts when we were at the Eatery.
Our next Breakfast will be Mon. 1/9/12, 9 a.m. at
Benny’s Restaurant. See you there. MAF

A DOCTOR SUGGESTS
2012 RESOLUTION
By Dr. Malika Marshall M.D.
The website www.everydayhealth.com decided to
survey hundreds of physicians all over the country to learn what
resolutions they would suggest for the New Year, 2012. Their number
1 tip was:
* Don’t give up your morning cup of coffee.
Caffein has had a bad rap over recent years and
we are finding that it is probably not as bad for us as we once
thought. (see p. 4)
You can drink coffee unless you have heart
problems or are pregnant.
* Get your flu shot. (as long as you are not
allergic to eggs). Dr. Marshall stressed that you cannot get the
virus from the flu shot.
It contains only killed or dead virus.
Some people say, "I never get sick, I never
get the flu." I’m telling you, once you get the flu you are
going to know why you need to get your flu shot.
* Monitor your blood pressure.
* Monitor your cholesterol.
* Try to exercise 30 minutes a day
* Sleep 7 hours each night.
Dr. Marshall noted that chronic sleep deprivation
can lead to obesity, diabetes and heart disease. So this is a great
tip.
* Spend time to connect emotionally with your
loved ones.
* Learn to meditate,
* Smile more,
* Keep in mind that all humans make mistakes so
be more forgiving.
* You need to get rid of all that anger you are
harboring, and you will have better mental health.
It is estimated that 40 to 45% of Americans make
resolutions each year, but only about
8% successfully achieve them.
