Helpers
Northwood Fire-Rescue is requesting your help this
holiday season to assist Northwood Santa’s Helpers to provide
Christmas gifts for Northwood children who may not receive gifts
this year.
Your donations will be matched to a child’s wish from
forms completed by their parents/guardians. Please note: we do
not receive assistance from other organizations with similar names
requesting toys and depend on local support to provide gifts to
children in our community. Our donations boxes, marked NORTHWOOD
SANTA’S HELPERS, will be available at local merchants the first week
of December through December 18 for your new unwrapped toy or gift.
Cash donations, used to purchase winter clothing, can be mailed
to Northwood Santa’s Helpers, c/o PO Box 353, Northwood, NH 03261.
If you are in need of assistance, forms are available at the
Northwood Town Hall (either at the reception area or from Human
Services Director Sue Holden), the Ridge Fire Station, and the
Community Bulletin Board at the Northwood Post Office.
Applications are only accepted from families living in Northwood at
the time of application and delivery date with children ages birth

Christmas brighter this year for Northwood children. Thank
you.

Fitness
Matters Submitted By Rhoda Sommer
Question: With the weather
getting colder in New Hampshire, and flu season almost upon us, can
you provide a little refresher on working out when you’re sick?
Answer: Everyone seems to have a different opinion on this,
but here’s the scoop. You often hear people say that working out is
fine if it’s just a head cold—stuffy nose, coughing, and other stuff
that you don’t like, but can deal with. This is generally true, but
if you have a fever, body aches, or other more serious symptoms, you
should leave the exercising to the rest of us.
This philosophy
is actually pretty sound, but consider these issues as well. If your
health is less than up to par, you may need all your resources to
get healthy. Exercise may take away from your body’s ability
to heal quickly. Plus, I like to workout with intensity, and I
put a premium on the quality of my exercise. Therefore, I would
rather rest up for a day or two, even if I just have a head cold.
Then, when I get back to exercising, I can pick-up right where I
left off.
