‘MARCH’ing Forth!<br />

HISTORY<br />

The name of <strong>March</strong> comes from Martius, the first month of the<br />

earliest Roman calendar. It was named after Mars, the Roman god of war, and an<br />

ancestor of the Roman people through his sons Romulus and Remus. His month<br />

Martius was the beginning of the season for warfare and the festivals held in his<br />

honour during the month were mirrored by others in October, when the season<br />

for these activities came to a close. Martius remained the first month of the Roman<br />

calendar year perhaps as late as 153 BC and several religious observances in<br />

the first half of the month were originally new year’s celebrations. Even in late antiquity,<br />

Roman mosaics picturing the months sometimes still placed <strong>March</strong> first.<br />

Rhys Andrews:<br />

“stay active, feel<br />

young.” ~ Karma Halleran<br />

D65: Are you a Kootenay Kid?<br />

RA: Yes, pretty much. My parents discovered<br />

the West Kootenay and fell in<br />

love with it, moving here from the coast<br />

when I was one. I have been here ever<br />

since baring time away for school and<br />

work in my early career. I grew up in<br />

Castlegar and have a strong connection<br />

to all the West Kootenay communities.<br />

I am so thankful they discovered<br />

this region. It was and is a wonderful<br />

place to be a kid, and was just as wonderful<br />

to raise my own children here.<br />

D65: Did you play sports as a kid?<br />

RA: I love many sports... I was the kind<br />

of kid if you bounced the ball I would<br />

chase it... all my friends were like that.<br />

My parents were active and supported<br />

me in the organized sports I joined. And<br />

though all my friends played at least<br />

one organized sport, we spent many<br />

more hours after school and entire<br />

weekends playing all the time - road<br />

hockey, baseball, softball - rounders,<br />

500 up, basketball - 21, one on one,<br />

football, yards. It didn’t really matter<br />

what we played, we just needed a ball,<br />

a field or road and the kids from the<br />

neighbourhood.<br />

D65: What is your favourite sport?<br />

RA: Hockey is one of them. I love soccer<br />

too and many other sports and recreation<br />

activities. If hiking in the forest<br />

and mountains counts as a sport then<br />

that would be my favourite.<br />

D65: What did your hockey career<br />

look like?<br />

RA: It’s a stretch to say I have or had<br />

a hockey career and my hockey pals<br />

would agree. :) Like so many local kids<br />

I played for fun and loved to get on the<br />

ice and chase the puck and I still do.<br />

Whether organized, playing shinny<br />

on a pond, or road hockey, my friends<br />

and I loved playing the game. Coaching<br />

the game with friends as our kids<br />

grew up through the system was very<br />

rewarding as well. I just loved getting to<br />

know the kids, teaching them a sport,<br />

and being part of their team. It was a<br />

blast. We still share stories of the fun<br />

we shared with the kids and parents.<br />

Hockey has allowed me to meet some<br />

great people.<br />

D65: What was/is your career?<br />

RA: I studied Forestry and worked in<br />

the industry for a short while. I was<br />

lucky to have been employed by Selkirk<br />

College to teach forestry and take on<br />

different administrative roles for them.<br />

It allowed me and my family to stay in<br />

this community I love so much.<br />

D65: Are you retired?<br />

RA: I retired from Selkirk in 2022 and<br />

now I am finding time for other things,<br />

I still seem to be really busy.<br />

D65: Registration for the<br />

55+Games opens <strong>March</strong> 1st - are<br />

you participating again this year?<br />

RA: This will be my third year – I’ve<br />

participated in two games - 2022<br />

and 2023 playing hockey.<br />

D65: What is that experience like?<br />

RA: It is a great experience – meeting<br />

new players from around the region.<br />

As a team game the camaraderie is<br />

the highlight for me. The Kootenay<br />

Glacier Kings (the team name for our<br />

region, of which there are different age<br />

teams, currently a 55+, 60+ and we are<br />

trying to ice a 65+ for the Salmon Arm<br />

Games). The Kootenay Glacier Kings<br />

have been representing the region at<br />

the games for a long time and there are<br />

guys on our teams that have competed<br />

at the games for many years. We do go<br />

through some effort to organize practice<br />

games (often between the two age<br />

divisions). We take it seriously... participating<br />

with the intention of winning,<br />

which we have done occasionally,<br />

bringing home Gold and Silver once or<br />

twice and qualifying for the Nationals.<br />

Most of the GKG guys still play some<br />

type of organized or drop in hockey.<br />

I have to say there is something pretty<br />

special about hitting the road with<br />

your team. Anticipating the battle<br />

of competing against other teams<br />

representing their zones for the<br />

top prize. I think it keeps ones spirit<br />

young, and helps us focus on staying<br />

active and in comfortable shape for<br />

the sport we are playing.<br />

We never know what the competition<br />

will be like, the games are short<br />

so we have to come ready to play.<br />

Everyone seems to enjoy themselves.<br />

If anyone is considering signing up<br />

for any of these games... I say do it.<br />

You won’t regret it. For those thinking<br />

about the games in the sports<br />

they love I’d say why not give it a<br />

whirl! Stay active, feel young.

Cannabis Corner<br />

As spring begins<br />

to unfold, you<br />

may find yourself<br />

outside seeking<br />

Terese Bowors ways to embrace<br />

vitality and movement<br />

through walking, hiking or<br />

biking. These adventures are a great<br />

opportunity to turn our attention to<br />

a topic of joint health. Let’s delve into<br />

how Cannabis, often underestimated<br />

in its therapeutic potential, can play<br />

a role in promoting joint health, offering<br />

seniors a pathway to ease and<br />

improved mobility.<br />

As we age, joint issues can become<br />

a prevalent concern, impacting<br />

mobility and overall well-being. Conditions<br />

such as arthritis or general<br />

wear and tear can lead to discomfort<br />

and reduced flexibility, hindering the<br />

pursuit of an active and fulfilling life.<br />

Cannabis and Joint Health for Seniors<br />

Central to the potential support<br />

Cannabis offers for joint health are its<br />

anti-inflammatory properties. Cannabinoids,<br />

notably CBD (cannabidiol),<br />

have been studied for their ability to<br />

interact with the Endocannabinoid<br />

System, which plays a crucial role in<br />

regulating inflammatory responses<br />

in the body. By modulating these responses,<br />

Cannabis may help alleviate<br />

inflammation in joints, providing relief<br />

to those experiencing discomfort.<br />

The Endocannabinoid System, a<br />

complex network of receptors in the<br />

body, is involved in regulating various<br />

physiological processes, including<br />

inflammation. CBD, in particular,<br />

has been recognized for its interaction<br />

with these receptors, particularly<br />

CB2 receptors found in immune cells,<br />

potentially influencing the inflammatory<br />

pathways and offering a natural<br />

approach to managing joint discomfort.<br />

Exploring the various methods<br />

of Cannabis intake opens up a<br />

spectrum of possibilities. Topical<br />

applications, such as CBD-infused<br />

creams and balms, offer localized<br />

relief directly to the affected areas,<br />

making them particularly effective<br />

for joint pain. Additionally, infused<br />

CBD oils provide a versatile option,<br />

allowing seniors to incorporate CBD<br />

into their daily routines. Whether<br />

applied directly or ingested, these<br />

methods provide tailored approaches<br />

to address joint health, catering to<br />

individual preferences and needs.<br />

Crafting a Cannabis routine tailored<br />

to individual needs is essential.<br />

Seniors interested in exploring the<br />

potential benefits for joint health<br />

should start with low doses, gradually<br />

adjusting based on their unique responses.<br />

Consulting with a Certified<br />

Cannabis Coach ensures a personalized<br />

and safe experience.<br />

While CBD takes the spotlight for its<br />

anti-inflammatory benefits, other<br />

cannabinoids such as THC (tetrahydrocannabinol)<br />

and CBG (cannabigerol)<br />

also contribute to the entourage<br />

effect, where the combined<br />

action of multiple cannabinoids may<br />

enhance therapeutic outcomes.<br />

These compounds, when used<br />

mindfully, broaden the spectrum of<br />

potential benefits for joint health.<br />

As spring beckons, inviting us to<br />

embrace the outdoors, Cannabis<br />

emerges as a potential ally in the<br />

journey towards joint health for seniors.<br />

The anti-inflammatory benefits<br />

of cannabinoids, coupled with a<br />

personalized approach to use, offer a<br />

promising avenue for those seeking<br />

natural solutions to enhance mobility<br />

and well-being. Spring forward<br />

with confidence, knowing that the<br />

addition of Cannabis may contribute<br />

to the renewal of your joint health.<br />

St. Patrick’s Day<br />

Sunday, <strong>March</strong> 17, <strong>2024</strong><br />

St. Patrick’s Day commemorates the life and deeds of St.<br />

Patrick, who is credited with bringing Christianity to Ireland<br />

in the 5th century. Contrary to popular belief, St.<br />

Patrick was not born in Ireland but was actually born in<br />

Roman Britain. At the age of sixteen, he was captured by<br />

Irish raiders and enslaved in Ireland for six years. During<br />

his captivity, he found solace in religion and eventually escaped<br />

back to Britain. After becoming a cleric, he returned<br />

to Ireland as a missionary, where he played a significant<br />

role in spreading Christianity and establishing churches,<br />

monasteries, and schools.<br />

Traditions and Symbols:<br />

St. Patrick’s Day is associated with various traditions and<br />

symbols, many of which have evolved over centuries.<br />

Some of the most notable include:<br />

Wearing of Green: Green is the predominant colour<br />

associated with St. Patrick’s Day. It is believed to symbolize<br />

Ireland’s lush green landscape and is worn as a form of<br />

national pride. People around the world don green clothing,<br />

accessories, and shamrock pins to participate in the<br />

festivities.<br />

Shamrock: The shamrock, a three-leaf clover, is closely<br />

associated with St. Patrick and is said to have been used<br />

by him to explain the concept of the Holy Trinity (Father,<br />

Son, and Holy Spirit) to the Irish people. Today, the shamrock<br />

is a ubiquitous symbol of St. Patrick’s Day and is worn<br />

as a badge or incorporated into decorations.<br />

Parades: St. Patrick’s Day parades are a highlight of the<br />

celebration, especially in cities with large Irish populations<br />

such as Dublin, New York City, Boston, and Chicago. These<br />

parades feature colorful floats, marching bands, cultural<br />

performances, and displays of Irish heritage.<br />

Traditional Irish Food and Drink: St. Patrick’s Day is often<br />

celebrated with traditional Irish dishes such as corned<br />

beef and cabbage, Irish stew, soda bread, and potato dishes.<br />

Irish pubs and bars also serve a variety of beverages,<br />

including Guinness stout, Irish whiskey, and Irish coffee.<br />

Music and Dance: Traditional Irish music and dance<br />

play a central role in St. Patrick’s Day celebrations. From<br />

lively jigs and reels to haunting ballads, Irish music sets<br />

the mood for festivities. Many celebrations feature performances<br />

by Irish musicians and dancers, including step<br />

dancing and céilí dances.<br />

A point of perfect balance on the journey<br />

through the Wheel of the Year. Night<br />

and day are of equal length and in perfect<br />

equilibrium - dark and light, masculine<br />

and feminine, inner and outer, in balance.<br />

But the year is now waxing and at<br />

this moment light defeats the dark. The<br />

natural world is coming alive, the Sun is<br />

gaining in strength and the days are becoming<br />

longer and warmer. The gentle<br />

whispered promise of Imbolc is fulfilled<br />

in the evident and abundant fertility of<br />

the Earth at Ostara. It is time for the hopes<br />

of Imbolc to become action. The energy<br />

is expansive and exuberant. It is the first<br />

day of Spring! Ostara takes its name after<br />

the Germanic goddess, Eostre/Ostara,<br />

who was traditionally honoured in the<br />

month of April with festivals to celebrate<br />

fertility, renewal and re-birth. It was from<br />

Eostre that the Christian celebration of<br />

Easter evolved, and indeed the naming<br />

of the hormone Eostrogen, essential to<br />

women’s fertility.<br />

Grampa’s Joke<br />

A female CNN journalist heard<br />

about a very old Jewish man who<br />

had been going to the Western<br />

Wall to pray, twice a day, every day,<br />

for a long, long time. So she went<br />

to check it out. She went to the<br />

Western Wall and there he was,<br />

walking slowly up to the holy site.<br />

She watched him pray and after<br />

about 45 minutes, when he turned<br />

to leave, using a cane and moving<br />

very slowly, she approached him<br />

for an interview.<br />

”Pardon me, sir, I’m Rebecca Smith<br />

from CNN. What’s your name?*<br />

”Morris Feinberg,” he replied.<br />

”Sir, how long have you been<br />

coming to the Western Wall and<br />

praying?”<br />

”For about 60 years.”<br />

”60 years! That’s amazing! What do<br />

you pray for?”<br />

”I pray for peace between the<br />

Christians, Jews and the Muslims.”<br />

”I pray for all the wars and all the<br />

hatred to stop.”<br />

”I pray for all our children to grow<br />

up safely as responsible adults and<br />

to love their fellow man.”<br />

”I pray that politicians tell us the<br />

truth and put the interests of the<br />

people ahead of their own interests.”<br />

So the woman asked, “And how<br />

do you feel after doing this for 60<br />

years?”<br />

”Like I’m talking to a f$@%ing wall.”<br />

Roadblocks with your<br />

Ideal Retirement?<br />

Are you facing roadblocks with your ideal retirement?<br />

Are you worried that you won’t have<br />

enough money?Are you ill or you have to provide<br />

care for a special someone. Why are you<br />

putting it off? A friend of mine asked me the<br />

other day how old are you? I said 67, they said<br />

no way you look so young. I commented I like to<br />

keep busy. Running a business keeps your mind<br />

active and your body moving.<br />

What things have been calling you? What gives<br />

you energy? Then do it. Start thinking about<br />

what you want from retirement. Keep a journal<br />

of your goals, aspirations and to do list. That<br />

means visualizing your ideal day. Where are you<br />

living? What are you doing? Are you gardening,<br />

playing pickleball, volunteering 2 days a week.<br />

What is your schedule? Who are you spending<br />

your time with? Your wife, partner, friends? Let<br />

me know I would love to hear your comments.<br />

Lost Book of Remedies<br />

By Mary Newman<br />

Pain & Inflammation Relief<br />

Regardless of your reason, fear or a<br />

desire to stay away from pharmaceuticals,<br />

you will be happy to know<br />

there are several options for relieving<br />

pain and inflammation…all natural,<br />

found and discovered from around<br />

the world.<br />

General Pain<br />

There are all types of pain, located in<br />

various parts of our bodies such as<br />

a headache, a backache, or a toothache.<br />

Willow Bark<br />

As a great option for treating inflammation,<br />

willow bark has been used<br />

for centuries. It has gone back as<br />

far as the 5th century BC, with Hippocrates<br />

writing about the benefits.<br />

With willow trees found around the<br />

world, it has been widely accepted<br />

as a natural treatment for pain and<br />

inflammation.<br />

At first, people often simply chewed<br />

on the bark to help relieve pain and<br />

even fevers. As time and technology<br />

progressed, it took on the form of<br />

a dried herb that was steeped like<br />

a tea, and now a liquid or capsule<br />

form.<br />

However, it is thought to be risky for<br />

children to consume.<br />

Turmeric<br />

A popular Middle Eastern spice, turmeric<br />

not only helps to protect our<br />

bodies from free radical molecules<br />

that can damage tissue and cells but<br />

also has been attributed to combat<br />

inflammation and pain.<br />

It can be digested, as well as used<br />

externally as a topical application<br />

for arthritic joints or wounds. Make a<br />

paste by mixing 2 tablespoons with<br />

water to apply topically. Other ways<br />

to use it include digesting up to 1.5<br />

teaspoons of the dried root powder<br />

each day, take a 250 mg supplement,<br />

or use it often in seasoning<br />

your food.<br />

It has also been reported by many<br />

people to help with other conditions<br />

such as indigestion, psoriasis, and ulcers.<br />

Wasabi<br />

Even though it might hurt going<br />

down, some hot spices are helpful<br />

in relieving painful joints. If you can<br />

tolerate intense spicy foods, such as<br />

wasabi, can mimic pain killers. Wasabi<br />

is a plant naturally growing in Japan,<br />

along the streams and rivers.<br />

It has been cultivated into cuisine<br />

since historical times but experienced<br />

a surge in popularity in the<br />

1990’s.<br />

Fortunately, spicy foods and snacks<br />

are trending now, including wasabi<br />

flavored items. So, you should be<br />

able to find wasabi just about anywhere.<br />

Although, you should make<br />

sure you can tolerate it in small doses<br />

first.<br />

Powerful Oils to Reduce Pain<br />

Oils are being used for more than<br />

just cooking now, from aromatherapy<br />

to even pain relief. There are<br />

several that have been used for centuries<br />

around the world, tested early<br />

on by our forefathers, such as:<br />

• Evening Primrose Oil – Women<br />

around the world have been using<br />

evening primrose oil to help with<br />

painful menstrual cycles. It is rich in<br />

the essential fatty acid gamma-linolenic<br />

and is known around the world<br />

as helpful in balancing hormones.<br />

Supplements make it easy to take<br />

during the menstrual cycle, typically<br />

starting on the first day, and through<br />

ovulation.<br />

• Arnica Oil – Arnica oil was developed<br />

from the arnica plant, most<br />

commonly found in Siberia and Europe.<br />

Used as a topical treatment, it<br />

aides in healing bruises and reducing<br />

inflammation and pain by applying<br />

to painful joints twice a day.<br />

Many carpal tunnel patients are finding<br />

enough relief to avoid surgery.<br />

• Lavender and Peppermint Oil –<br />

Teamed together, these 2 oils have<br />

been known to help with ailments<br />

such as myofascial pain, headaches,<br />

and fibromyalgia. Lavender works to<br />

release muscle tension, while peppermint<br />

can improve circulation. Mix<br />

a couple drops and massage into the<br />

temples for a headache, or in other<br />

painful areas. Lavender can also help<br />

in relaxing simply by the aroma itself.<br />

Essential oils can be found just about<br />

anywhere and in a wide price range.<br />

The purer it is, the more benefits you<br />

will get from them.<br />

Headaches<br />

At times, a headache can be debilitating,<br />

to the point of not being able<br />

to get out of bed for hours, or days.<br />

There are plenty of over the counter<br />

medicines and prescriptions that<br />

you can get. But, if you want to use<br />

a natural remedy, there is also help.<br />

Potato Slices<br />

For migraines or headaches, try applying<br />

2 or 3 raw potato slices to<br />

your forehead. You can keep them in<br />

place with a scarf or headband and<br />

leave them on for a couple hours.<br />

If a headache is lingering for a longer<br />

period, try drinking a ¼ cup of warm<br />

potato water, 3 times a day until it<br />

goes away. Simply grate a raw potato,<br />

then squeeze the natural juice<br />

Golden Milk: An Ayurvedic Recipe<br />

Golden milk is another name for haldi ka doodh, which translates as “turmeric milk”. Curcumin, turmeric’s most significant<br />

compound, has medicinal properties and is used to reduce joint pain, arthritis, inflammation and even treat depression.<br />

Ingredients<br />

1-1/2 cups light coconut milk<br />

1-1/2 cups unsweetened plain almond milk<br />

1-1/2 tsp ground turmeric<br />

Large pinch of ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and cardamom powder<br />

1 tbsp coconut oil<br />

Small pinch of saffron<br />

Pinch of ground pepper<br />

(optional but highly recommended)<br />

Sweetener of choice (honey, maple syrup or coconut sugar to taste)<br />

Method<br />

• Warm milk in a small pan over low-medium heat, stirring occasionally.<br />

• Once warm, slowly add the oil and spices while continuing to stir. Mix<br />

until there are no chunks and the powder has fully absorbed into the milk.<br />

If you have a hand blender, this works perfectly well and it also creates a<br />

yummy frothy texture.<br />

• Remove from heat and let cool to a drinkable temperature. Once the<br />

temp has cooled to about 110 degrees, add a spoonful of honey to the<br />

desired sweetness. Top off with a sprinkle of cinnamon.<br />

• Sit, sip and enjoy!<br />

out, and drink up. Potatoes have<br />

anti-hemorrhagic and anti-anemic<br />

properties, as well as vitamin C, A, K,<br />

and sulfur, which all contribute to relieving<br />

headaches.<br />

Toothaches<br />

Whether it’s a bad tooth, an infection,<br />

or something stuck between<br />

your teeth, a toothache can be quite<br />

aggravating. If the toothache is persistent,<br />

seek treatment from a dentist,<br />

because it could lead to more serious<br />

health concerns, such as heart<br />

disease.<br />

Truth be told though, nothing can<br />

be more distracting and debilitating<br />

to the average day than a throbbing<br />

toothache. Fortunately, there are<br />

several natural remedies for treating<br />

a toothache. And, most of these options<br />

have ingredients that can be<br />

easily found or already on hand.<br />

• Garlic – As a natural anesthetic, garlic<br />

can quickly help relieve a toothache<br />

by pressing a clove into the<br />

problem tooth. If you get frequent<br />

toothaches, chew a small amount of<br />

raw garlic each day.<br />

• Onion – Similar to garlic, onion also<br />

has the same effect on toothaches.<br />

Chew on raw onion, multiple times a<br />

day, if needed.<br />

• Clove oil – Generations have been<br />

using clove oil for tooth pain for<br />

years. Soak a cotton ball in the clove<br />

oil, then press it into the tender area.<br />

• Lemon – If you get frequent toothaches<br />

and discomfort, rinse your<br />

mouth each morning upon waking<br />

with lemon juice. It works to remove<br />

plaque and bacteria build up, creating<br />

a healthier environment in your<br />

mouth. This is great also for cleaning<br />

the teeth and freshening the breath.<br />

• Salt – A tried and true remedy for<br />

toothaches and sores in the mouth,<br />

is to gargle and rinse with warm salt<br />

water. Do this a few times a day until<br />

the pain or sores are gone.<br />

Of course, these options are not to<br />

replace a major problem within your<br />

mouth. If none of these work, you<br />

probably should get in to see a dentist<br />

to permanently fix the problem.<br />

An unhealthy mouth can lead to a<br />

more serious health crisis, such as<br />

heart disease.<br />

Be careful though. All the above-mentioned<br />

remedies for pain are not to<br />

substitute good sound advice from a<br />

trained professional, especially if the<br />

pain persists. If the pain does not go<br />

away, you should speak with a physician,<br />

because there could be a more<br />

serious health issue brewing.<br />

Return of the Light! seasonal affective disorder<br />

If your mood was as cold and dark<br />

as mine these last few months, well<br />

then we’re not alone! You know the<br />

feeling: You’re more tired these days,<br />

maybe anxious or moody. Cocooning,<br />

it’s harder to get out of bed. That’s the<br />

problem: The gloom caused by Mother<br />

Nature each winter in much of the<br />

country is biologically felt to some degree<br />

by an estimated one in four of us<br />

-- usually starting around November<br />

and then magically ending by April<br />

with spring’s thaw. For most people,<br />

it manifests as winter doldrums, the<br />

“I-can’t-wait-for-winter-to-end” feeling<br />

that produce mild but manageable<br />

sluggishness and food cravings.<br />

But some of us have a more severe<br />

form of winter depression seasonal affective<br />

disorder, the aptly acronymed<br />

SAD that is typically diagnosed after<br />

at least two consecutive years of more<br />

intense symptoms. Either way, it stems<br />

from the same cause: Sensitivity to the<br />

lack of sunlight that results from winter’s<br />

“shorter” days and disrupts our circadian<br />

rhythm, or internal body clock.<br />

The degree of this sensitivity, and<br />

resulting winter depression severity,<br />

largely stems from some combination<br />

of other factors - your geography, genetics,<br />

and individual brain chemistry.<br />

With SAD, the lack of sunlight causes<br />

the brain to work overtime producing<br />

melatonin, the hormone that regulates<br />

your body clock and sleep patterns<br />

and a hormone that has been<br />

linked to depression. In addition to<br />

sunlight -- or more specifically, the<br />

lack of it -- the cold temperatures of<br />

this mean season may also play a role.<br />

So we’re at the end! I can see the light<br />

at the end of the tunnel! Exposing<br />

yourself to natural light will help boost<br />

serotonin production and your overall<br />

mood.<br />

Tips for next year:<br />

Go to sleep and wake up at the same<br />

time every day to help normalize your<br />

circadian rhythms.<br />

Structure your eating patterns by<br />

eating three meals a day, around the<br />

same time every day.<br />

Avoid the common urge in the winter<br />

to overindulge in simple carbohydrates,<br />

such as starchy or sweet foods;<br />

eat a balanced diet of proteins, fruits<br />

and vegetables,<br />

and whole grains<br />

(e.g., brown rice,<br />

quinoa).<br />

Make (and keep)<br />

plans with friends<br />

and families to<br />

help you stay connected<br />

to your<br />

loved ones. Get<br />

outside! Take time<br />

for yourself and<br />

Sudoku<br />

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid,<br />

broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve<br />

a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill<br />

each row, column and box. Each number<br />

can appear only once in each row, column<br />

and box. You can figure out the order in<br />

which the numbers will appear by using the<br />

numeric clues already provided in the boxes.<br />

The more numbers you name, the easier it<br />

gets to solve!<br />
