WATCH THE BIRDIE
Bird-watching in Chicago during the winter isn't much of a pastime. Some cardinals perhaps, surely some hearty sparrows, but not much else are observed. This winter, however, is different. How different, you ask? Let's talk robins—not one or two, but a whole flock roaming the parish grounds in search of food. One does not usually observe these creatures until early spring. Either they know something we don't, or they are in for a rude awakening. The biggest surprise concerns a large, stately bird that had perched itself on the railing leading to the handicapped entrance of the church, that I discovered while taking Holyoke for her afternoon walk. What was this stately bird? Edgar Allen Poe's stately raven, you guess? Nope. It was a bird of prey—a falcon. Some decades ago, the city of Chicago imported a flock of peregrine falcons to help control the pigeon population explosion. They were settled downtown on the ledges of high-rise buildings, from where they could swoop down and turn unsuspecting pigeons into breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Well, one does not put a fence around birds in the "wild." So at least one of them left the comfort of downtown Chicago to take up residence in Jefferson Park. Only once before have I spotted this critter: a couple of years ago on the rectory lawn, a.k.a, weeds, devouring its quarry. (Pigeon feathers and guts scattered about the landscape). I welcome this falcon to our community. Not only will it help to stem the pigeon population, but these birds also have been known to go after rodents, such as mice and rats, of which there is an abundance in our neighborhood. Thus, not only do we have a watch-kitty to patrol the premises, the fore mentioned Holyoke, we now have a watch-birdie to join the security team. On the subject of security, apparently neither member of our watch patrol was on duty when our church experienced a Christmas loss. No, it wasn't the collection, praise the Lord. In fact, as thefts go, it might be considered a trifle, but it's still worth mentioning. Sometime between the Masses on Holy Family Sunday (the Sunday after Christmas) and New Year's Day, person or persons unknown took, made off with, stole, absconded with, ripped off—use whichever verb is appropriate—the lovely white poinsettia from in front of the statue of the Blessed Mother. He/she/they took the plant and the saucer on which it was resting. I discovered the loss when I went to water the flowers in church on Jan. 2nd. It was there when I watered on Saturday, and gone when I repeated the process on Wednesday. I cannot recall in my 10 plus years of pastoring at Saint Cornelius a theft of this kind. In my previous assignment, Our Lady, Mother of the Church, I noticed that green plants would sprout legs and walk away from the church from time to time, but not here. Still, I have seen my share of thefts from our premises. One Easter, two large bunches of pussy willows vanished from alongside the rectory garage, but not plants from inside the church. To the person or persons responsible for the disappearance of this flower, I say that I hope the poinsettia is giving you much joy. I forgive you for taking it, but please be advised that church decorations are not for public confiscation, at least not until they have served their purpose and the invitation to take them is given. And to our security team, I say, "Get with it." Now that we have eyes in the sky as well as a stealthy creature on the ground, this type of situation should not be repeated. Father Dan

Learn signs of conditions like frostbite and hypother-mia, and keep your ears and hands covered in low temperatures. If you start shivering, losing coordina-tion, or feeling tired or confused, it's time to head in-side. Take It Inside If you prefer not to exercise outdoors, or if the weather is too harsh, don't give up. When it comes to indoor physical activity, the possibilities are numerous. Whether you join a gym, have a small home setup or choose to take a fitness class of some kind, chances are good you’d find something you enjoy. Options for indoor exercise include: •Swimming or water aerobics in an indoor pool •At-home weight training or high-intensity interval training •Dance classes •Fitness classes, including boot camp or cycling •Walking or running on an indoor track Regardless of where you exercise, it's important that you know your limits. Your body fatigues more easily when weather conditions are extreme. Listen to it – when it tells you it's time to stop, call it a day. You can always exercise again tomorrow! Life in Layers For intrepid exercisers committed to the outdoors, lay-ering is key. You still sweat when it's cold, which means you need layers that not only protect you from cold temperatures but also remove sweat from the skin. You should wear: •A base layer (or more than one) of moisture-wicking synthetic fabric, such as nylon, Lycra or similar blends •An insulating middle layer to trap warm air close to your body-fleece and wool are good options •Gloves, scarves and hats to protect against frostbite and prevent too much of your body heat from escaping Did You Know? •Outer shell layers should be roomy enough that they don't restrict your movement. •While petroleum jelly protects the skin on your face against harsh winter winds, it also increases your risk of sunburn, something many of us forget about during the winter. •If you can't exercise outdoors, your local shopping mall makes an excellent indoor walking track.”

FROM THE PARISH NURSE... In the January 2018 issue of Presence Health, Refresh Your Life. Your Mind. Your Body, the staff gave some tips on Cold Weather Workouts.
“Don't hibernate this winter. Stick to your exercise rou-tine. Forget telling your fitness and weight-loss goals 'see you in the spring.' Continuing your exercise rou-tine throughout winter keeps you on track and in shape. Exercising also provides additional benefits, including a boost to your immune system during cold and flu season and a shield against the 'winter blues.' Do you enjoy exercising outside? Winter weather may bring new opportunities like outdoor ice skating, skiing or snowboarding. If you prefer something more low-key, you can still fit in your daily walk or run. Just be sure that if the roads are icy, your shoes have good traction to prevent falls. Winter workouts come with their own hazards, thanks to temperature differences and the potential for icy winds. Be sure to warm up properly, as cold muscles are more prone to injury. Brisk walking and jumping jacks are good options to get your blood pumping. Also, keep water with you, as dehydration is possible in the winter, too.
STEWARDSHIP REFLECTION
“Jesus turned and saw them following him and said to them, ‘What are you looking for?’” ‐ JOHN 1:38 What are you looking for? Are you wasting your time looking for the material comforts of the world? Or, is your heart longing for something deeper that can only be found by spending time with God? Take time, each day, in silence and ask the Lord what it is that He wants you to do.
