ne Magaz i Enjoy Healthy Choices Frozen Fresh at Their Peak.

Have you ever stopped to really look at the variety of high-quality frozen food items that are available today?

If you did, you would see that frozen food offers much, much more than you expected.

National Dietetic Association spokeswoman Katherine Tallmadge says that flash-freezing technology has become so advanced that many fresh and frozen items "are basically the same. Freezing doesn't dilute the food's nutritional value.

For those trying to improve their health, Tallmadge recommends keeping a couple of bags of frozen fruit and veggies handy for snacking.

These Convenient Meals are Easy to Prepare.

Buying frozen is very convenient. You can plan your weekly meals since you can do all your shopping for the month at one time without the worry of spoilage.

So, take a few extra minutes to walk down frozen food aisles - you'll be pleasantly surprised at what you'll find!

Sound Hear ing Solutions Silence Is Lonely

When at first our hearing begins to fade;

Though the signs are foretelling, we may choose to evade We tell others they don’t speak clearly, they mumble a lot;

My concentration is elsewhere, that’s why I ask what Please talk a bit louder, your voice is so weak;

I could hear you just fine, when you’re close at hand; If you would learn to enunciate, I could understand.

Being with family is one of life’s greatest joys; But don’t expect me to hear with all of that noise.

It’s easy to blame others, though it’s not really fair; It’s your hearing problem, solve it, show others you care.

He who said ‘silence is golden’ spoke for himself only; For the hearing impaired, ‘silence is lonely’.

Quebec City & Its Summer Fest ival July 9th - 19th, 2009

Quebec City is one incredible destination! It has so much to offer: living history, French cuisine and architecture, extraordinary boutiques, great accommodation and seasonal festivals. Most people know of the Quebec Winter Carnival, but have you heard about its Summer Music Festival?

Another seasonal addition to the city’s culture is the new exhibition at the Museum of Civilization.

This excellent museum features three new displays: The Science of Aliens, Egyptian Mummies and the Seven Year’s War.

This is the largest outdoor arts festival in Canada with 400 shows and 200 groups during its 11 day run. The music is varied: Rock, French, Jazz, Classical, and Street Art. You may purchase an admission ticket, which is good for all performances, or simply wander the Old City to hear a variety of artists who perform on the street for free. There are many different events to suit every musical taste.

Reaching Quebec City is easiest by driving or taking the VIA train. The Old City is so pedestrian friendly, you can walk everywhere! English is spoken in most stores and at attractions, but I recommend trying out your high school French.

Accommodations vary from friendly auberges, or Inns, to five star resorts. The cuisine is quite incredible as well.

For more information, call: 1-877-783-1608, or visit: www.infofestival.com

Visiting Quebec City this summer is like visiting Europe without a passport and the extra expense!

ne Magaz i The sacrificial wine which was offered as a tribute to pagan gods became the sacramental wine of the early Christian church.

Red or White?

Is

there anything better than a

lovely glass of wine?

It’s not just for dinner anymore and is proven to have many health benefits.

Evidence suggests that the earliest wine production came from regions in Georgia and Iran, dating from 6000 to 5000 BC, where the walls of ancient caves turned up drawings of grape vines and seeds.

Historians believe that grapes most likely first fermented by accident with the help of wild yeasts that must have been present when grape skins were held in storage.

Throughout its history, wine has been used socially for many purposes, such as calming feuds, giving courage in battle, sealing pacts, celebrating festivals, and seducing lovers.

18

Retirement

Is

North American wine production started with the planting of vines by the Spanish Missionaries in order to fulfill the Catholic Holy Eucharist.

This movement flourished into Mexico and in 1769, Franciscan missionary Father Junipero Serra planted the first California vineyard in Mission San Diego.

In Canada, the first European settlers were successful in cultivating their vines in British Columbia and Nova Scotia, but in Ontario to no avail. Our humid summers and cold winters were only meant for the wild grapes that naturally grow here. Why fight it? The Niagara grape industry flourishes to this day with award winning wines that Canadians can be proud of.

When we gaze into the wine in our glass, we are looking at the oldest known agricultural product in the world!

Ensuring Income for Li f e

You’ve worked to grow your assets to last throughout your retirement but you want to generate income in the most tax-efficient way possible, and have enough to do all the things you envisioned like travel, hobbies, or home improvements.

R eview Your Investment Strategy

Withdraw A ssets Tax-Efficiently

To be sure your investments will provide you with a lifetime of income, it’s important to review your overall investment plan as you enter the retirement phase of life. You’re probably wondering how to draw income to fund your retirement and still grow your assets. You want to ensure your portfolio has the right combination of equities, bonds, and cash, matching your investment goals and risk tolerance.

One way to make your assets last is to watch taxes. Withdrawing assets tax efficiently as you manage your retirement is a simple strategy that can save money over the long run. Knowing which assets to allocate to tax-sheltered accounts as well as retirement account withdrawal rules to avoid unnecessary taxes and penalties is key.
