The medical staff and administration of Central
Vermont Medical Center recently distributed one
12 lb (approx. weight) turkey to full time, part
time and per diem employees and to CVMC
volunteers in appreciation for their hard work
throughout the year.
Over 100 employees and volunteers chose to
donate their turkeys to the Vermont Food Bank
and to families in the Adopt a Family program
CVMC employees participate in every year to
provide Christmas gifts for local families in
need.
Our employees were generous to fellow
employees suffering from the flood and have
again stepped up to help out their neighbors,
said Judy Tartaglia, CVMC president & CEO. I
am proud to have such a compassionate cadre of
people working and volunteering at CVMC.

Barre Woman
Warms the
Community
Each year, employees of the State
Treasurers Office decorate a Christmas tree
with new hats, gloves and scarves that are
donated to the local Salvation Army to help
keep area residents warm.
Pictured here is this years tree, located in
the Pavilion Building in Montpelier, follow-
ing a donation by one special woman.
Mandy Speaker, of Barre, has been knit-
ting and crocheting hats since this summer.
On Thursday, December 8, her friend Lane
Safford (who works in the Treasurers
Office) brought 93 hats and scarves to place
on the tree. Mandy personally made 89 of
the items, the remaining four were made by
a friend.
Mandy shared that she was especially
motivated to make the hats after hearing
reports of people losing so much from the
damage caused by Tropical Storm Irene.
On Dec. 26, 1966, the first
day of the first Kwanzaa is
celebrated in Los Angeles. The
seven-day holiday is a celebra-
tion of African-American fam-
ily, community and cultural
values, which include unity,
self-determination, collective
work and responsibility, eco-
nomic cooperation, purpose,
creativity and faith.

Hospice Names New Manager
Richard J. Weeks has been
raising money for the Shriners
Hospitals for Children for more
than 22 years. He had a son
who was a patient at the
Shriners Hospital located in
Springfield, Massachusetts.
The Shriners Hospitals do not
charge for the service and treat-
ment they do for children.
Richard, Dick as he wishes
to be called, decided that he
wanted to help in some way by
raising money for the Shriners
Hospital in Springfield. So 22
years ago, he started playing
the role of Santa Claus to raise
money. He is asked by many
businesses each year to come and greet the chil-
dren during the holidays. Over the past 22 years
Dick has raised many thou-
sands of dollars for the Shriners
Hospitals.
Dick was not a member of
the Shriners and in October
2001 he took advantage of a
One Day Class held in
Rutland. He received the
Degrees of Masonry so he
could join Mt. Sinai Shriners
No. 3 in Montpelier.
During the parade season
each year, you will see Dick
dressed as Santa Clause, riding
in the back of his pickup truck
hauling the Shrine Football,
waving to all the children. He
has been doing this for many
years now, and the children just love to see
Santa.
Local Man Dedicated to Helping Shriners Hospitals
VTC Honors 20 Year Commitment with
Promotion to the Presidents Office
Dr. Philip Conroy,
President of Vermont
Technical College,
announced last week that
Carol Chase, a dedicated
college employee of 20
years, will be the new
Executive Assistant to the
President. Reporting
directly to Dr. Conroy,
Chase will be responsible
for coordinating and executing administrative
functions for the President of the College and
overseeing functions and projects related to col-
lege operations.
Chase began employment at Vermont Technical
College in 1991 as the Communications &
Purchasing Coordinator, responsible for provid-
ing and maintaining telecommunication services
for the VT Tech campuses. Ten years later, she
was promoted to Executive Administrative
Assistant for the Dean of Administration, a posi-
tion she held from 2001 until this fall.
Carols commitment to VT Tech has been
instrumental in fostering the culture that has
weaved its way through our college community,
expresses Dr. Conroy. Her support, leadership,
and style lend itself perfectly to the collaborative
growth and excellence we are dedicated to in the
Office of the President.
Prior to arriving at VT Tech, Chase worked in
the marketing department at Killington, Ltd. and
founded and operated a home based data entry
business utilized by four ski areas in Vermont
and California. Her education spans the business
program at St. Johnsbury Academy and as a non-
traditional student at both VT Tech and CCV
(Community College of Vermont). Chase resides
in Bethel.
Central Vermont Home
Health and Hospice has
appointed Michelle
Walker, RN, MS as the
Agencys Hospice and
Palliative Care Manager.
Walker grew up in
Montpelier and has been a
Registered Nurse for 37
years. During that time
she has gained a wide
variety of experience through her employment as
an Intensive Care Unit nurse, a school nurse,

as a nursing supervisor at both CVMC and
CVHHH.
As the Hospice and Palliative Care Manager,
she is responsible for managing an interdisciplin-
ary team of health care professionals providing
Hospice and Palliative Care to Central
Vermonters. Walker has strong ties to the Central
Vermont community and is proud to be a part of
a team providing a tremendous service to those
who need pain management through the Palliative
care program or end of life care through the
Hospice program. According to Walker, The
Hospice and Palliative Care services we are able
to provide to Central Vermonters, are immensely
important. The care is tailored to each individu-
als needs to provide the highest quality of both
palliative and end of life care. I am proud to be
part of such a fantastic team of caregivers.
For 15 of the last 20 years, Walker has been
with CVHHH, a not-for-profit Visiting Nurse
Association with a proud 100 year history of car-
ing for Central Vermonters in their homes. Prior
to her current position, Walker was CVHHHs
Home Care Utilization Review Manager. In that
role she was involved in the implementation and
management of the agencys state of the art
patient telemonitoring program.
CVHHH provides a wide variety of skilled
care and long term care programs which enable
people of all ages and economic status to manage
their diseases, rehabilitate quickly, remain inde-
pendent using supportive services, or die with
comfort and dignity in the setting of their choice

Jane Bouffard Honored at VSO Holiday Concert

Norwich Named Center of Academic Excellence in Digital Forensics
The Vermont Symphony Orchestras annual Holiday Pops
Concert in Barre provided unique entertainment again this year,
with a special presentation of honorary conductor to Jane
Bouffard. The VSO award is given to an individual or organization
that has made a significant contribution to music and/or music
education in their community.
For the last eight years the Barre concert has featured a Guild
of Supporting Players, consisting of local residents and busi-
nesses who purchase special seats in the orchestra for the VSO
annual holiday photograph. Donors of $100 or more receive two
tickets to the concert and a chair with the instrument of their
choice on stage for the annual supporters photo op during inter-
mission. A large orchestra chart in the lobby identifies Guild
members.
Its a playful way to thank our supporters, says VSO execu-
tive director Alan Jordan, and its a lot of fun. Sometimes sup-
porters send substitute players to the stage, including children and
grandchildren, he says. One year our Guild orchestra included
eight tuba players!
The Central Vermont Friends of the VSO organized the concert,
selected the annual winner, and presented a baton to the honorary
conductor. Jane Bouffard, of Stowe, is a music teacher and band
director at Stowe Middle/High School. She is well loved by stu-
dents and colleagues and has done much to sustain a high level of
music instruction for Stowe youth.
Past honorary conductors from the Guild of Supporting
Players include Richard Ellis of Ellis Music Company in
Randolph; Catherine Orr, former director of the Montpelier
Chamber Orchestra; Karen Kevra of Capital City Concerts;
Dickey and Marjorie Drysdale of Randolph; and River Arts in
Morrisville.

Norwich University officials announced it has been named one
of eight colleges by the US Department of Defense Cybercrime
Center (DC3) as a pilot university of the Center of Digital Forensic
Academic Excellence (CDFAE) program.
The program is designed to partner academia with government
in an effort to establish industry standards for digital forensic edu-
cation.
This designation spotlights Norwich as the home of one of the
top cyber forensics academic programs in the United States, and,
perhaps, in the world, said Dr. Peter Stephenson, an associate
professor in the information assurance program and director of the
Norwich University center for Advanced Computing and Digital
Forensics, where activities related to the designations are carried
out.
Our sophisticated virtual computing systems that support
information security and digital forensics labs and research are a
model for other colleges and universities. They will add materially
to our already advanced courses in both disciplines, he said.
Norwich offers a Bachelor of Science in Computer Security and
Information Assurance with concentrations in cyber forensics and
advanced information assurance.
This academic excellence pilot program is designed to validate
the criteria before other schools apply for the designation.
CDFAE is a team sport where everybody wins: The college
and university partners win through sharpened curricula that
becomes a differentiator for the schools and their students; indus-
try wins in receiving smart grads with turnkey knowledge and
skills; and beyond that, government wins as CDFAE helps deepen
our national bench in scarce skills to support law enforcement and
national security requirements, said DC3 Executive Director
Steven Shirley. CDFAE creates an optimal outcome for all part-
ners.
The other seven colleges in the pilot program are: Anne Arundel
Community College; Howard County Community College;
Oklahoma State University; Utica College; Stevenson; Johns
Hopkins University and Air Force Institute of Technology
(AFIT).
Norwich was named a Center of Excellence in information
assurance education by the US National Security Agency and
Department of Homeland Security in 2001.
Norwich is one of only four four-year institutions in the US to
hold Center of Excellence designations in Digital Forensics and
Information Assurance. Each standard meets separate goals and
requirements, but coalesce with the Norwich motto Expect
Challenge. Achieve Distinction.

Vermont Mutual Insurance Opens New Office in Berlin
NOFA Vermont Announces 7th Annual
Direct Marketing Conference
FarmPlate.com and Vermont
Foodbank Announce Long-Term
Partnership
Last week the Vermont Foodbank and FarmPlate.com, a new
online sustainable foods community, announced a long-term stra-
tegic partnership to help promote sustainable foods and generate
support for the Foodbank.
The Vermont Foodbank is thrilled to partner with FarmPlate
and Vermonts sustainable food community to ensure that no one
in Vermont goes hungry, said John Sayles, Vermont Foodbank
CEO. This partnership will help the Foodbank provide nutritious,
quality food to the as many as 86,000 Vermonters in need of
charitable food.
The partnership kicks off immediately, with a special holiday
promotion. For every business that upgrades its FarmPlate profile
before December 31, 2011, FarmPlate will donate 10% of sales to
the Vermont Foodbank. Thats a donation of 50 meals for every
business that signs up for one year of online marketing through
FarmPlate.com.
We are honored to partner with the Vermont Foodbank to pro-
mote both food access and sustainability, said FarmPlate founder
Kim Werner. The promotion we are announcing today offers a
great way for Vermonts food businesses to end the year by mak-
ing a commitment to growing their business in 2012, while sup-
porting members of their local community who need their help.
Both organizations already enjoy support from a number of
leading Vermont food producers. As a Vermont Foodbank part-
ner, we witness first-hand how important their work is to the food
security of so many Vermonters, said Pete Johnson, founder of
Petes Greens, a four-season organic vegetable farm in
Craftsbury.
We are thrilled to see the Foodbank working with FarmPlate
and its network of sustainable food enterprises. This partnership
will no doubt lead to better connections between Vermont food
producers and the Foodbank - and more sustainable food making
its way to our neighbors who are in need, Johnson added.
Aside from making an automatic donation to the Foodbank,
businesses that upgrade their FarmPlate profile before December
31 will receive a badge of support on their profile. Theyll also
receive special promotion on the FarmPlate website, and through
promotional activities on the part of the Vermont Foodbank and
FarmPlate.com.
Next on the partnership agenda: a recipe-related promotion for
FarmPlate.com users, designed to build awareness of hunger in
Vermont while raising corporate donations to feed hungry
Vermonters.
Vermont farmers who sell their products
directly to their local communities through farm-
ers markets, farm stands, and CSA (community
supported agriculture) farms, will gather for a
day of workshops and networking on Sunday,
January 8th at the Vermont Law School in South
Royalton.
The Northeast Organic Farming Association of
Vermonts 7th Annual Direct Marketing
Conference is designed to bring together farmers
and market experts to serve as an educational
opportunity helping farmers build stronger mar-
keting opportunities to serve the thriving Vermont
market for local food.
The conference will feature 19 workshops on a
variety of marketing and market development
topics including Leveraging Customer
Relationships Into Year Round Sales, Marketing
Toolkit: Planning and Measurement Strategies,
and Strategies for Grassroots Fundraising. The
conference will also host the annual meeting of
the Vermont Farmers Market Association.
In addition to these opportunities, conference
attendees will enjoy a keynote co-presentation
from Ellen Kahler, Executive Director of the
Vermont Sustainable Jobs Fund, and Jean
Hamilton, who recently concluded a four-year
term as NOFA Vermonts Market Development
and Consumer Access Coordinator. Kahler and
Hamilton will share their thoughts in a keynote
titled, Markets in Transition: How Can Vermonts
Direct Markets Evolve with a Growing Local
Foods Movement?
NOFA Vermont strengthens farmers markets
and CSAs in Vermont by providing technical
assistance, collecting annual economic data,
serving as the umbrella organization for the
Vermont Farmers Market Association, and offer-
ing a farmers market mini-grants program.
More information about the conference is
available online at www.nofavt.org. Walk-in
registrations are also welcome. Each farmers
market is invited to send a representative to the
conference, and to attend and vote at the annual
meeting of the Vermont Farmers Market
Association held at the conference. The market
can invite anyone to be their representative, and
they will be admitted into the conference for
free. Registration fees are $30 for NOFA Vermont
members, $35 for non-members. A lunch made
with local ingredients and refreshments are
included with the conference fee.

A
s an investor, you know that 2011
was a somewhat choppy year, with
the financial markets going through
many ups and downs. So what can you
expect in 2012?
As baseball Hall of Famer Yogi Berra is
quoted as saying: Its hard to make predic-
tions especially about the future. And
these words are certainly applicable for any-
one who would like an accurate forecast of
the investment climate.
Yet we do know of some factors that may affect your portfolio
in the months ahead. Here are a few of them:
Strong business fundamentals This past year, all the noise
about the debt ceiling debate, the size of the U.S. deficit and the
European financial situation tended to drown out some fairly good
news: U.S. businesses balance sheets were strong for the most
part, borrowing costs remained low, and corporate profits were
good and corporate profitability remains a key driver of stock
prices. Heading into 2012, these fundamentals continue to look
positive, which may bode well for investors.
Europes debt crisis Greeces economic problems made a lot
of news in 2011, but they werent the end of the story in Europe,
as major financial difficulties also face Italy, Spain, Portugal and
Ireland. Its by no means clear how these problems will be
resolved, so dont be surprised to see them lead to intermittent, if
short-lived, shocks to the markets.
Election-year patterns As youre well aware, were voting for
president in 2012. But you might be surprised to learn that the
S&P 500 index has shown negative returns in only three of the last
21 presidential election years. Coincidence? No one can say for
sure and at this point, no one can say if this pattern of positive
returns will continue during this election year. Still, its an interest-
ing phenomenon.
So there you have it: the good, the bad and the quirky. Take
them all together, and you still may not be able to foresee what
will happen with the markets this year, but youll have a lot to
think about.
But instead of trying to predict what will happen in 2012, you
may be better off following these tried-and-true investment strate-
gies:
Diversify your holdings. By spreading your money among a
wide range of investments, you can reduce the effects of volatility
on your portfolio. Keep in mind, though, that diversification, by
itself, cant guarantee profits or protect against loss.
Dont ignore your risk tolerance. If you worry excessively about
market fluctuations, you may have too much risk in your portfolio,
which means you may need to make some changes.
Always look at the big picture. Financial markets will always
fluctuate. But if you can keep your focus on your long-term objec-
tives, and make decisions accordingly, you can avoid overreacting
to short-term events.
Like other years, 2012 will bring with it periods of both turbu-
lence and smooth sailing. But by making the right investment
moves, you can still chart a course that can allow you to move ever
closer to your future goals.

JD Green, morning host of The Froggy Breakfast Club, marked
his ninth year devoting his morning radio program to the perils of
drinking and driving. JD, along with Berlin/Northfield police offi-
cer Jean Miguel Bariteau, took to the microphones at 6am last
Friday and got right to business, outlining the many consequences
to driving while intoxicated. Without officer Bariteau, it just
wouldnt be the same. He brings all the latest stats and information
we need to convey a strong message that our listeners hopefully
wont soon forget - dont even think about drinking and driving,
says JD.
The annual DUI/DWI show has changed somewhat over the
years, but the premise remains the same. The first several years,
JD actually consumed alcohol beginning at 5:30am to demonstrate
that at the .08 legal limit, he was more than confident to operate a
motor vehicle. Im not a regular drinker, so at that hour on an
empty stomach, things got a tad bit entertaining both on and off
the air, and well just leave it at that.
In past years, former Governor Jim Douglas would join officer
Bariteau. and JD on the air to push the message. This year, just as
last year, State Attorney Tom Kelly joined the airways to discour-
age those listening not to combine drinking with driving. Were
very good at getting a serious message across, while keeping a
level of entertainment at times too, says officer Bariteau.
Green presents the myths behind sobering up quickly and
Bariteau shoots them down. Peanut butter, pennies in your
mouth, cold showers, coffee, eating bread... all of them are false.
The only thing that will sober you up is time, says Bariteau. The
two also discuss at great length the long list of consequences for
first time and repeat offenders. Were out there looking for you,
says Bariteau, discussing how police forces everywhere are setting
up sobriety checkpoints.
Every year, the annual show gains the attention of several state
dignitaries including the Governor, Mayor of Barre, and heads of
the Vermont Liquor Control Board, Department of Public Safety,
as well as other surrounding area police departments within
Central Vermont.
Our most important objective however is to get the attention of
the general listening public, says Green of his estimated 17,000
listeners. Topics on the show cover the consequences of first-time
offenders, legal BAC, alcohol elimination rate, penalties for CDL
drivers, the crash course, attorney/court fees, fines, processing,
arresting, fingerprinting, photographing, police records, jail time,
9th Year for Annual DUI/DWI Radio Show
life impacts like exploring alternative transportation to/from work,
insurance increases, towing expenses, family impacts, work/
employment impacts (having to state youve been convicted of a
felony on applications), sobriety checkpoints, DWI with relation
to snowmobiling, boating, motorcycling and other recreational
activities.
This annual program is the most talked about radio program in
Central Vermont. Please heed the shows advice and have a happy
and safe holiday.

A new red sled would be greatly appreciated too!
Love,

The Washington Fire Department has completed the
installation of a dry hydrant on the Williamstown/
Stellar Road. This installation is part of a comprehensive
program to improve re protection in the rural portions
of Washington.
The Washington Fire Department is in the process of
improving re protection in our town by installing dry
hydrants to improve the availability and accessibility of
water for reghting purposes. The Vermont Rural Fire
Protection Task Force, through the Northern Vermont
Resource Conservation and Development Council,
provided assistance to the re department in developing
the plan for the installation of this dry hydrant.
Dry hydrants are a preferred method of providing water
for reghting in areas where there are no water mains.
A dry hydrant consists of a 6-8 inch pipe with a tting
to which a pumper/tanker truck can attach. The pipe
connects to a water source (pond or stream) that can
supply at least 60,000 gallons of water under drought
conditions.
The installation of this dry hydrant is one example of
the service the Washington Fire Department provides to
prepare for a re or other emergency situation.

I
t has been many years since I rst became
guardian of this place, for these few weeks,
at this magical time of the year. I have no
idea of the number of those past years, and have
failed at counting the long periods of rest and
darkness in between the wonderful times of light. Those most re-
cent eleven black months are over, again, and I have been elevated,
once more, to my high position in this lofty corner of my domain.
From here I look down upon my world, and seem to be master and
ruler of all within my sight. In truth, my job is that of overseer.
My world certainly is beautiful from up here. The green and
spreading expanses below me are lled with sparkling, colored
things; collected, cherished objects hang down, leading from my
feet all the way to the vast, carpet-plane below.
I accept my unspoken but obvious duties, without question,
each year. As sentry and sentinel of the realm below, I am placed
here to observe, to guide, to guard. I silently protect the peace of
this place, and am always grateful for the great trust that has been
placed in me, all these many, watchful Decembers. My supreme
duty, my highest calling is to attend and enlighten the time of the
great reading, and of the prayers, and of the explanation to the little
ones, the truth and the cause of this time of celebration.
These past several weeks I have observed, from my high post,
many and wondrous preparations. My entire world is now adorned;
and more and more the glad and seasonal songs have echoed up to
me from far below, somehow, owing up the ever-smaller branch-
es, until they reach my ears. It is safe in this place, and I am warmed
by the glow of both re and family love. I have sensed some stress
in the accomplishment of the preparations, but that is usual, and to
be expected. Negative feelings and actions are far outweighed by a
sense of seasonal excitement, and true joy in all that is done.
As the great day approaches, delicious food aromas waft up to
me, as do chattering conversations, and the strange, unmistakable
sounds of paper being cut and tted onto boxes. These familiar
scents and sounds jog memories of many other such times of prep-
aration; memories which had somehow left my thoughts until now.
I know that I have also felt this experience of remembering things
from the further past, IN the past, as I feel it now. How strange, but
similar are these yearly repetitions.
It is now the evening just before the great celebration day! I
must be alert! I must fulll this, my greatest yearly task. I must
watch all that is done, and listen to all that is said.
Now the sacred book is opened, and the story is read, once more,
to the few within the readers hearing, on this late evening. It is
the story of that other night so long ago. The man in the great
chair below begins reading aloud to his family: Luke 2:7-8 And
she brought forth her rstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling
clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for
them in the inn. And there were in the same country shepherds
abiding in the eld, keeping watch over their ocks by night
The man continues on, sharing with his loved ones greatest TRUE
story ever told. The story is the reason for my own existence. Much
more importantly, YOUR family is the reason for the storys ex-
istence. Read it to them. It is meant for them, and they are meant
to hear it.
I know that within the next several days I will be decommis-
sioned from my post, and placed, once again, into a new time of
darkness. I have no fear, as I have done my duty as a tree-top angel.
I have witnessed the great truths of Christmas being proclaimed
once again.

Concerned About VT's
Health Care Exchange
Editor:
The Shumlin administration announced
recently that it had received an $18 million
federal grant to build a health care exchange
as part of its new single payer system.
Private insurers would be forced out. The
only options will be designed by the state,
and health care providers will be paid by
taxpayers.
The soaring cost of health care in the US
has given momentum to the single-payer
model. Our system is the most expensive
in the world, but according to the data the medical outcomes are
not correspondingly better. Unquestionably, the current system is
inefficient.
Supporters of single payer argue that insurance companies spend
millions on non-medical costs that are passed on to consumers. By
shoving the companies out, they say, we could cut costs. That
assumes, however, that the government runs more efficiently than
private companies. Most Vermonters would disagree with that
assumption.
Then theres the exchange itself. The exchange is mandated
under President Obamas health care reform law. It is envisioned as
a one-stop online clearinghouse allowing consumers to compare
multiple plans offered by multiple carriers.
But Vermont is heading down a very different path - one benefit
plan, and one carrier.
The Department of Vermont Health Access (DVHA) is currently
building a benefit plan that will include two levels of out-of-
pocket limits. Your out-of-pocket expense, by the way, is the only
choice youll be offered.
Our exchange wont provide the robust marketplace that its
designers are promoting. There wont be increased choices between
competing carriers and plans. In fact, since there wont be any
competition there wont be a marketplace at all. Why, then, cant
this narrow set of choices be posted to the DVHA website without
spending $18 million?
Theres no more personal decision than which kind and how
much health insurance to buy. Vermonts approach is to make
things simple by taking away all the options. Thats not what
Congress or the President intended in PPACA.
Small business owners across Vermont produce goods, services
and jobs. They generate taxes to fill state coffers. They have valid
concerns, yet they are being ignored. This debate has paralyzed
business owners trying to decide whether to add or cut jobs in the
near-term and in the future.
NFIB/VT urges Governor Shumlin to make good on the promise
to create a real exchange that offers more choices. Vermonters
are smart enough to make their own choices, and they want a com-
petitive marketplace that drives prices down.

Barre School Budget Needs Cuts, Not
Increases
Editor:
Here we go again! What is it about the educational system that
it simply doesn't get? It's easy to talk about the budget - where do
we increase? Seems there's never talk about decreasing.
11%? 7%? 5%? The budget needs to come in at 0%. Whatever
it takes to accomplish that is the task facing the Board. The fact is
taxpayers cannot take on any more increases of any kind.
Special education takes 7% of the proposed increase "which
can't be cut" according to Biondolillo. Why not? Why does the
public school system have so many "special needs" students? Are
too many students designated special needs? If that many children
need special education, then perhaps it is time and more cost effec-
tive for the State to run a special needs school and get these kids
out of public schools.
And, by special needs, is this learning disabilities or behavioral
problems? I suspect the majority is behavioral. Why is the public
school expected to be a babysitter for unruly kids? Send them
home to the parents until they straighten out. It wouldn't take long
for some parents to realize the problem(s) they have on their hands
and want their kid(s) back in school. Barre City taxpayers should
not be paying for kids who are not in school to learn, but are there
to be disruptive. Too much money is being spent on too few stu-
dents. If 12 students need one on one support, then the parents
should pay for that, or they should not be in a public school sys-
tem.
Why does the elementary school have a preschool program?
That is what day care centers are for. Eliminate that and save some
money. School should begin with kindergarten. Eliminate bussing.
More and more kids are obese, lazy and lack exercise. What better
way to help these problems than by walking to school. We did and
we survived.

H
ere at the Reiss house, things are
ramping up and the excitement is
so intense you can almost touch
it. Yes, folks, we have survived the pre-
holiday craziness and Christmas is almost
here. I love Christmas and I actually love
the hustle and bustle as we prepare for, not
just the big day but the whole holiday season. And I absolute-
ly treasure this year because Santa Claus still is a big part of our
celebration and my two youngest grandchildren are still worried
about their behavior and whether or not Santa will be coming to
their house or not.
I know historically that this part of our holiday celebration only
has a year or two before Santa will decide that he is not going to
be able to come any more. And I rmly believe that Santa Claus is
wonderful and the wonder of his visit something that can never be
replaced. I just hate to think of Santa working away with his elves
in the North Pole and no longer anticipating his yearly visit. I know
that Santa, the tooth fairy and the Easter Bunny all have to retire
after a certain amount of time, but I sure hate to see that retirement
come too early.
This year we have three new grandchildren and no one is hap-
pier about these additions than I am. Instead of having just ve to
celebrate with, we now have eight. We absolutely adore these chil-
dren and have welcomed them into our family with open arms.
So, here is how our Christmas Day will go. This year my Tobi
and Heidi are hosting our celebration in Etna, New Hampshire.
Santa Claus will have come and gone and Nicholas and Camden
will have opened all their presents and be waiting for the rest of the
family to arrive. Polly and Russ, along with their boys McKinley
(16) and Sebastian (13) will have searched under their tree for gifts
from Santa and then about 1:00 will drive to Etna. Malcolm will
have skied for a few hours in the morning and then he and I will
load up our sleigh and travel to Etna, too. Sarah and Rene along
with their three children, Colby (16), Charlie (15) and Ellie (10)
will have come home, seen what Santa brought them in Sandwich,
Mass. and then loaded up and driven to Etna, too.
What we have now is a real houseful of loved ones and every-
one is prepared to open gifts and enjoy the chaos of a real old-
fashioned Christmas Day. Everyone will have brought something
to enjoy with the Christmas feast and after snacking and wallowing
through all the gifts and wrapping paper, dinner will be present-
ed. And oh, what a feast it will be. The Reiss family is nothing if
not traditional, so we will have turkey, mashed potatoes, turnips,
gravy, cranberry sauce, creamed onions, and what ever vegetables
were brought by the guests. And after dinner, of course, pumpkin,
pecan, and apple pie will be available.
But if memory serves, after the glut of goodies for the dinner
disappear, the pies are never really eaten right after the meal. Later
in the evening yes, but as a dessert? Maybe not. Finally, Malcolm
and I will roll into our car and head for home, happy and lled to
the brim with wonderful food and thoughtful gifts from our loved
ones. Oh, and really, really tired. The rest will stay with Tobi and
Heidi so that the celebration really doesnt end until the last sleep-
ing bag is lled with very tired family members.
Now that you know how the Reiss family will be celebrating
Christmas, I hope that each and every one of you will be celebrat-
ing with your loved ones and/or friends, too. What makes Christ-
mas special is the ability to come together with family and friends
and reect on how lucky we really are. The presents arent that
important after the age of about 10, so dont worry about that part
of the celebration. Nope, just relax and enjoy your own particular
way of celebrating. And remember that Christmas only comes once

I
n recent years, theres been a signicant
increase in embezzlements in Vermont.
Last year Auditor Tom Salmon created
a ten member Vermont Municipal Advisory
Committee to address embezzlement. The
Committee included Town Treasurers, City Finance Directors,
two admitted embezzlers and Don Keelan the CPA Advisor for the
Committee. Subsequently, the Committee created a two-page in-
ternal control checklist which was sent to municipal ofcials who
were responsible for cash resources in their community.
The Committee recommended Town and School Board ofcials
obtain continuing education of three to six hours on internal con-
trols over money. According to Keelan, the following list of em-
bezzlements in recent years were presented to the Legislature. The
information that he presented said in part:
POSITION AMOUNT TOWN
Child Services $490,000 Newport
Ofce Manager $1.5 million Hardwick
Town Treasurer $404,000 Ira
Sheriff $65,000 Windsor
Town Clerk/Treasurer $100,000 Isle Lamont
Town Clerk $200,000 Bakerseld
Village Treasurer $110,000 Old Bennington
Ofce Manager $290,000 Burlington
Bookkeeper $42,000 Addison
The above totals over $3 million dollars.
According to Keelan the attitude toward embezzlement is as fol-
lows: 1. We are sorry you need the money; 2. Maybe you can pay
it back; 3. We wont collect income taxes on your ill gotten gains;
4. We will ask you to do community service; 5. Yours was not a
crime of violence.
The legislation this year will call for a certied or public ac-
countant to audit municipal
accounts. In addition a legisla-
tive body of a municipality may
contract with a public accoun-
tant, to provide an annual nan-
cial audit on petition of 5% of
the legal voters.
Audits performed would
have to be in accordance with
generally accepted auditing
standards including a report
on internal control of nancial
reporting. If there were mate-
rial weaknesses, or sufcient
deciencies found by the vot-
ers, the following would take
place:
1. The auditor or public ac-
countant would present the
ndings to the legislative body
of the town and explain the
weaknesses or deciencies;
2. When the letter or report is delivered, the notice of the next
meeting of the legislative body should also notify the voters of the
audit report;
3. The next annual report of the town would include a summary
of the deciencies found in the internal controls of the nancial
reporting;
4. The legislative body would be required to post an audit report
and this report would have to be put on the municipal website if the
municipality has a website.
With respect to penalties, the following is a summary of penal-
ties in Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine:
In Vermont, the penalty for embezzlement is imprisonment for
not more than 10 years and a ne of not more than $1,000 or both.
The penalty is about the same regardless of the circumstances of
the crime or the amount of money involved.
In New Hampshire and Maine, the penalty varies and depends
on the amount of money embezzled. For example, in New Hamp-
shire, the embezzlement is a one year misdemeanor if the amount
does not exceed $1,000; a seven year felony if the amount exceeds
$1,000. Penalties in Maine are somewhat similar to New Hamp-
shire law.
The information we have about embezzlement indicates we
should strengthen the law and enact legislation this year. The Leg-
islature could consider some aspects of the Maine or New Hamp-
shire law. I support stronger legislation and will work for its pas-
sage.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19)
With the new years opportunities
almost within reach, the Arians
courageous aspects are raring to
go. And dont be surprised if a lot
of people follow the zodiacs
most trusted leader.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Change lies ahead for the brave
Bovine who is ready to shuck off the tried and true to try some-
thing new. But appearances can be deceptive. Check it all out
before you charge into anything.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) This week promises a peek into
what the new year holds for the Gemini Twins, both in love and
careers. Family matters continue to be a factor in decisions youre
going to be facing.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) As you move into the new year,
your travel aspects grow stronger, and you might find yourself
making decisions about a destination and a traveling companion
sooner than youd expected.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) The new year holds both glitter and
gold. This means Leos and Leonas should begin getting the facts
theyll need to separate the real thing from the sham in order to
make important decisions next year.
VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) A good way to start the new
year might be to arrange for a visit to someone you havent seen
in a long time. You also might want to pick up that project you put
off a while back.
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) As you contemplate the new
years potential, you might want to talk things over with people
who are or have been where you want to go. Their experience and
advice can be helpful.
SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Someone close to you
might feel you have no more room for him or her in your life. This
calls for immediate reassurance of your love so you can start the
new year on a high note.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) The coming year
will bring more people into your life. Some situations might not
work out as well as others. But overall, everyone earns something,
and thats always a good thing.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) The new year could
find you indulging in one or more of the hobbies youve always
wanted to take up. And dont be surprised if they ultimately direct
you toward a new career.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) The artistic Aquarian
should find more opportunities in the new year. You might even
make some potentially helpful contacts as you gather to ring in the
year 2012.
PISCES (February 19 to March 20) The new year offers chal-
lenges for Pisceans who want to make better use of the skills they
now have and learn new ones. Personal relationships show stron-
ger positive aspects.
BORN THIS WEEK: Although you sometimes tend to be a bit
judgmental, nevertheless, you are generous and caring and very
much beloved.

T
ired of tuna? Swore off fish sticks when
you were 10? Love salmon and scallops,
but they're restaurant treats? Just aren't into
fish, though you want to be?
All that's why you and yours are likely eat-
ing one-tenth of the good DHA omega-3 fatty
acids your hearts, brains, eyes and joints need.
With the boatloads of evidence about the benefits of DHA omega-
3s in finned food, it's time to fall in love with this healthy-delicious
stuff. How? Be inspired by a unique Mediterranean holiday tradi-
tion: the Feast of the Seven Fishes.
You may have seen this Southern Italian seafood extravaganza
on HBO -- yep, it was in a "Sopranos" episode. The seven-fishes
feast started on Christmas Eve as a meatless "fast" before
Christmas Day. Today, it's mix of culinary trend and Italian-
American family tradition. Celebrity chefs talk about it, restau-
rants offer $75-a-plate versions, and holiday food magazines are
full of menus for your own Festa Dei Sette Pesci. We YOU Docs
are fans because it puts fish, not meat, front and center on holiday
tables.
A traditional feast has at least seven (sometimes 13 -- whew!)
kinds of seafood, from cod, calamari and shrimp to anchovies and
clams. They're grilled, baked, broiled and simmered in soups,
sauces, stews. Luckily, you don't have to empty the seafood coun-
ter, raid your kid's fish tank or cook for days to put the healthiest
lessons from this fish-a-palooza to work for you.
Finspiration 1: Make it a family thing. Do the kids start wrig-
gling if you suggest fish for dinner? Take 'em along to the fish
counter: If they pick it, they'll try it. Start with mild types: sole,
flounder, tilapia, shrimp. Season with whatever your crew finds
yummy. Garlic, white wine and sun-dried tomatoes usually do
great. Or lemon juice and cracked pepper, or marinara sauce over
whole-wheat pasta. No go? Switch recipes and keep at it. It can
take multiple tries before some kids (adults, too) like any new
food.
Finspiration 2: Go for the good fats. Not nearly all seafood is
packed with omega-3s. Wild salmon, wild trout, sardines, mack-
erel, farmed Atlantic salmon and farmed trout are
among the richest, if not the cheapest (canned
salmon's good, too). Three iPhone-sized servings
a week will deliver what you need. To be sure,
add a supplement. We both take 900 mg daily of
DHA omega-3s from algae (where fish get their
omega-3s).
Finspiration 3: Include shellfish when possible. While shrimp,
scallops, mussels, lobster and others aren't great omega-3 sources,
most shellfish has NO saturated fat, so it's instantly healthier than
burgers or steaks. If someone mutters, "Shellfish is high in choles-
terol," it is -- especially shrimp. But wait. For unclear reasons
(Mother Nature has her ways), eating shrimp barely increases bad
LDL cholesterol but ups good HDL. In fact, shellfish lovers have
less risk of heart disease than people who skip these treats.
Finspiration 4: Take seafood to heart. The health perks of a fish-
filled diet have made as much news as Kim Kardashian's high-
speed marriage. Among the latest:
--Fish protects young and old hearts. A weekly fish habit
slashes heart disease risk 90 percent in women 16 to 47. Had
artery-clearing surgery? Getting plenty of omega-3s reduces heart-
threatening blood clots.
--Good fats are great for your brain. Not only do DHA omega-3
fats fight off dementia and Alzheimer's, but there's new evidence
that they fuel sharper thinking at any age.
--Finned food keeps joints in the swim. Getting your fill of fish
rich in DHA omega-3s could protect against osteoarthritis, which
often hits knees hard.
Finspiration 5: Seafood's a blast. With so many types -- from
bargain cannead tuna to splurge-y lobster -- and so many ways to
prepare it, you could eat fish forever without repeating a dish. Try
our recipe for Hot Wild Salmon with Rock Asparagus or Grilled
Shrimp with Peanut Sauce and Snow Peas at www.realage.com.
There's a great Italian Seafood Stew, too. Hmm...sounds like the
start of a holiday fish tradition all your own.

On Dec. 24, Have A Fish-A-Palooza
BY MICHAEL ROIZEN, M.D., AND MEHMET OZ, M.D.
Health Department Reports Rise in Pertussis Cases
The Vermont Department of Health has confirmed 26 cases of
pertussis in the past six weeks, and 47 cases so far in 2011.
Since school began this fall, suspected or confirmed cases have
been reported or are under investigation in 11 Chittenden
County schools. The Health Department alerted health care pro-
viders statewide about an increase in the number of pertussis cases
with advisories in November, and a statewide conference call on
Dec. 6.
Pertussis is a cyclical disease and every three or four years it
seems to surface again in a community, said Susan Schoenfeld,
deputy state epidemiologist for the Health Department. While
fully immunized children sometimes get pertussis, immunization
remains the best protection, and we encourage everyone to be sure
they are up-to-date on their immunizations.
Pertussis, a vaccine-preventable disease commonly known as
whooping cough, is highly contagious and caused by a bacterial
infection of the lungs. The infection usually begins with mild
upper respiratory symptoms and an irritating cough that gradually
worsens to include spasms of coughing, possible whooping, short
periods without breathing, or gagging or vomiting after coughing
spells. Coughing usually lasts at least two weeks. Infants may
have less typical symptoms such as gagging or difficulty breath-
ing.
Serious complications from pertussis are most common among
children under the age of 1, including pneumonia, encephalopathy
(brain inflammation), and in rare cases, death.
Anyone who has clinical symptoms of pertussis should be
evaluated by their health care provider. People with suspected or
confirmed cases should be kept out of school, work, and group
activities until five days of antibiotic therapy have been complet-
ed. The earlier a person especially an infant starts on treatment
for whooping cough, the better.
The average number of cases in Vermont per year between
2008-2010 was 14. During the decade between 1997 and 2007, the
average number of cases each year in Vermont was 164. The dis-
parity could be related to the approval of a adolescent/adult pertus-
sis booster vaccine (Tdap) that became available in 2005,
Schoenfeld said.
While pertussis immunization is the best protection against
pertussis, its possible for fully vaccinated children to develop
whooping cough, though they often have milder disease. Immunity
to the disease can wane over time. The booster vaccine (Tdap)
should be given to all Vermonters ages 10 and older. Anyone who
has close contact with infants is strongly urged to get vaccinated.
School and child care entry laws in Vermont require multiple
doses of a pertussis-containing vaccine, dependent on the age of
the child. When pertussis is identified in a school, letters are often
sent to parents to inform them of the illness, describe symptoms of
whooping cough, and encourage parents to have children with
symptoms examined by a health care provider.
The last widespread outbreak of pertussis in Vermont occurred
in 1996 -1997. A total of 280 cases were identified in 1996, includ-
ing 171 cases in school-aged children in 69 Vermont schools. In
1997, there were 283 cases.
For more information about pertussis, visit the Health
Department website at healthvermont.gov.

Did You Know...
Many people know that stress can be bad for your mental health,
but as it turns out, it can also be bad for your physical health.
Researchers have linked behaviors associated with stress, such as
drinking alcohol, using drugs, or even binging on comfort foods,
with the deterioration of the adrenal gland. The adrenal gland
releases stress hormones that signal to the body whether to fight or
get out of the situation (flight). If mollifying substances are intro-
duced into the body, it negatively affects the delicate way the stress
system works, and the adrenal gland eventually putters out. That
means the body can be in a constant level of stress, or a person can
feel stressed even over minor things. This also impacts the heart,
liver, blood pressure, and a number of other factors. Keeping stress
in check is important, but it shouldnt be done in a way that does
more harm than good.

Microwaving
Preserves Nutrients
Microwaving vegetables helps to
retain more of their nutrients than
boiling, baking or steaming. When
microwaving vegetables, use as lit-
tle water as possible a tablespoon
or so. Cooking on high power and
covering food shortens cooking
time which reduces nutrient loss.
Vegetables will continue to cook for
a few minutes after microwaving.
Allowing for this will ensure vege-
tables won't get overcooked.
Remember, eating five servings of
fruits and vegetables a day is part of
a healthy diet.

The Vermont Department of Health is advising of a multi-state
outbreak of foodborne illness, including one case in Vermont,
traced to ground beef sold at Hannaford grocery.
A Vermonter was one of 14 people who ate ground beef con-
taminated with Salmonella Typhimurium purchased at a Hannaford
store between Oct. 12 and Nov. 20.
Hannaford is recalling packages of ground beef with sell-by
dates of Dec. 17, 2011 or earlier. The products subject to recall,
according to the U.S. Department of Agricultures Food Safety
and Inspection Service (FSIS), are any size package of the follow-
ing:
73% Hannaford Regular Ground Beef
80% Taste of Inspirations Angus Ground Beef
85% Natures Place Ground Beef
90% Natures Place Ground Beef
Symptoms of foodborne illness caused by Salmonella include
fever, diarrhea and abdominal cramps. Salmonella can invade the
bloodstream and cause life-threatening infections for people with
weakened immune systems or other underlying health condi-
tions.
Raw meat should always be cooked to safe internal tempera-
tures before eating. The safe internal temperature for meat such as
beef is 160 F, and should be checked with a food thermometer.
Anyone who has ground beef subject to the recall in their refrig-
erator or freezer should throw it out. Anyone with questions about
the recall can call the Hannaford Customer Information Center,
from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., at 800-213-9040, and choose option 6.

Holiday Quitter Quiz
Vermont cancer patients and their caregivers are receiving one-
to-one support from those who have been there before in a unique
volunteer program in our state. Started four years ago, Kindred
Connections recognized a need for peer support for cancer patients
and their caregivers in Vermont. Established by the Vermont
Cancer Survivor Network (VCSN) this unique Vermont programs
motto is We listen, we help. The goal of Kindred Connections is
to match those who are currently dealing with cancer, whether as
patients or caregivers, with a volunteer supporter who has faced
many of the same challenges and understands.
Kindred Connections started as a small group in Central
Vermont and has rapidly grown to include chapters in Franklin and
Lamoille Counties, Newport, Lamoille County, the Mad River
Valley, and now, Chittenden County.
Kindred Connections volunteers are trained to listen to patients
and their families and to provide assistance. Whether its to listen
to patient and caregiver feelings, worries, concerns, to accompany
someone on medical visits, to help them maneuver through the
world of cancer treatment, do food shopping, or simply to provide
some laughter and friendship during a trying time, Kindred
Connections volunteers are there.
Kindred Connections has touched the lives of so many patients
and caregivers in Vermont. Laurie from Williamstown said, I
thank God that Beth came into my life. This program is the best
thing someone with cancer can do. I wish I was able to do this
from the very beginning. Family members also praise their sup-
port. The wife of a recently diagnosed cancer patient shared, It
was so comforting to know I had someone to call with specific
questions about cancer. Being able to hash over the facts and unfa-
miliar vocabulary of this new world was extremely valuable and
eased some of the fear and anxiety.
The volunteers at Kindred Connections gain as much and far
more from each other as they give according to David Cranmer,
VCSN co-founder. Cranmer adds, Both national and state sur-
veys of cancer survivors indicate that the need of one-to-one help
is not being met. We are aiming to fill that need for every Vermont
cancer patient and caregiver that asks for it.

Kindred Connections Cancer Support Celebrates Statewide Growth
Kindred Connections recently raffled a beautiful quilt to raise money
for their cancer support programs. Pat McDonald, two-time cancer sur-
vivor and one of the original members of Kindred Connections, drew the
winning quilt raffle ticket from Sherry Rhynard, KC Coordinator. The
quilt was made by cancer survivor and KC volunteer Stacey Sharp. The
lucky winner is Alana Norway of Plainfield.
Need help? Need to talk? Do you know someone who does?
Kindred Connections members have been in your shoes. Make
that first phone call, email, or ask your medical provider to have a
volunteer call you. Everything is always confidential. You can
reach Kindred Connections at 1-800-652-5064 or by email at
info@vcsn.net.
Want to volunteer? Kindred Connections will provide you with
training and support to join their growing ranks of peer buddies,
helping improve the lives of cancer patients and their families
throughout Vermont. As cancer survivors and caregivers weve
learned so much sharing that can help others new to the jour-
ney.

Thank You
The family of Leo W. Skip ODonnell would like to thank all those

for spending time with the family during the loss of our loved one.
A sincere thanks to the hundreds of people who attended Skips service
and kept us all in your thoughts and prayers.
Although this is a sad time for our family and friends we nd comfort in
knowing we were able to love Skip and he will forever be in our hearts and
our memories.

Know that by supporti ng your

generally cant manufacture the
volume that the big box stores need,
so they are offered to the independent

Last Weeks Weather
Temperature roller coaster rides were the rule again as in previous
weeks but were a little colder ending late last week and the week-
end. A storm track that brought multiple precipitation types to the
region including slippery travel originated from southern California
and Arizona. From there jet stream energy along this storm track
pushed quickly northeast into central Quebec. This puts Vermont on
the changeable side of this storm system where warm moist air over-
rides the colder air resulting in mixed precipitation and slick travel
changing over to damp rainy conditions. The best days last week
were over the weekend with Saturday afternoon into Sunday being
the best days for sunshine. Though sunny days come at the cost of
colder modified arctic air masses and indeed it was cold where highs
only topped out in many cases in the teens and 20s. The coldest min-
imum of this early meteorological season occurred on Sunday morn-
ing where temperatures went below zero with a slight snow cover
helping to insulate the ground across parts of the region.
Vermont Weather Stats from Last week ending December 12th
Monday morning
Highest temperature: 54 degrees at numerous locations on the
Thursday the 15th
Lowest temperature: -8 degrees Canaan Sunday morning the 18th
Heaviest 24 hour precip: 0.95 at Westfield ending Friday morning
the 16th
Heaviest Snowfall: 2.5 Jay Peak ending Saturday morning the 17th
Most Snow Depth: 5 Mount Mansfield at the stake Saturday morning
the 17th
Global Weather Facts For Last Week
Last weeks hottest temperature on planet earth was 112 at
Dampier, Western Australia. Last weeks coldest temperature: minus
51 in the Siberian town of Oimyakon.
Novembers Carbon Dioxide level (CO2) are now in at 390.31.
Compared to previous November, it is up from 388.62 That was a
1.69 increase in parts per million from 2010.
Arctic Sea Ice Loss Partially Fingered For Recent Extreme Weather
First some background. The jet stream generally blows from west to
east over the northern mid-latitudes, with an average position over
the central U.S. in winter and southern Canada in summer. The jet
stream marks the boundary between cold polar air to the north and
warm subtropical air to the south, and is the path along which rain
and snow-bearing low pressure systems ride as the storm track.
Instead of blowing straight west-to-east, the jet stream often contorts
itself into a wave-like pattern. In general, where the jet stream bulges
northwards into a ridge of high pressure, warm air flows far to the
north. Where the jet loops to the south into a trough of low pressure,
cold air spills southwards. The more extreme these loops, the more
the amplitude of the jet stream, the slower the waves move eastward,
and consequently, the more persistent the weather conditions tend to
be.
A high-amplitude jet stream pattern brings abnormally high temper-
atures to the region under its ridge, and very cold temperatures and
heavy precipitation underneath its trough.
Mathematics governing atmospheric motions requires that higher-
amplitude flow patterns move more slowly. Thus, any change to the
atmosphere that increases the amplitude of the wave pattern will
make it move more slowly, increasing the length of time extreme
weather conditions persist.
Enter the Arctic Oscillation
During the early 1960s, a natural pattern in the atmosphere called
the Arctic Oscillation increased the amplitude of the winter jet stream
pattern over North America and the North Atlantic by more than 100
miles, increasing the potential for long-lasting weather conditions.
The amplitude of the winter jet fell over 100 miles during the late
1960s, remained roughly constant during the 1970s - 1990s, then
increased by over 100 miles again during the 2000s. This latest
increase in wave amplitude did not appear to be connected to the
Arctic Oscillation due to it being in its positive phase so far this Fall
and very early meteorological winter, but did appear to be connected
to the heating up of the Arctic due to sea ice loss. Arctic sea ice loss
and the associated increases in jet stream amplitude could be partial-
ly responsible for some of the recent unusual extreme weather pat-
terns observed in the Northern Hemisphere. This is preliminary
research that has yet to be published, and much more work needs to
be done before we can confidently link Arctic sea ice loss with an
increase in extreme weather.
Weather Trends Ahead
It must be mid week and sure enough another storm on the way.
This one looks very much like last week. The timing was in question.
If precipitation start later in the afternoon it might be not to bad for
travel excepting in some of the colder spots where rain drops may
freeze on the subfreezing surfaces. This warmth and light spots rain
shower activity will likely help to erase what little snow we have on
the ground now. And there is very little snow basically at the top of
Mount Mansfield at the stake only 5 were reported last Monday
afternoon making it the least amount of snow this late for the start of
the winter. Im expecting temperatures to be cold enough for snow,
but a general lack of precipitation was indicated for late this week.
White Christmas ???
Computer modeling has been very poor past just a few days out
with jet stream energy out west pushing rapidly northeast like a fire
hose nozzle in wide spray mode thus low confidence forecast con-
tinues. But there were some hints of a storm system, possibly a
noreaster arriving roughly around Christmas Day. This track would
probably be all snow for our region, if it were to happen.
The winter snow depth observations atop Mount Mansfield has started with
the least amount of snow depth at the stake ever recorded. Records go back
to 1954. Just 5 at the stake. Other slow years to start winter were 1957, 1964,
1966, 1982, and most recently 2006. However this year 2011, was the least
amount of snow depth recorded at the stake. Note that not all of these years
ended with little snow. In fact A few of these years ended up as a back loaded
winter with above normal snowfall with February and March being banner
years. However this year may not follow suit.

Barre Merry Holidays
Salvation Army Is Her
No. 1 Charity
Its Payback Time
For This Woman
Cheryl Peterson of Montpelier has
an unusual remedy for dealing with
arthritis, especially during the long
winter months - she knits and knits
and knits!
And the benefciary of her hobby/
therapy for the last several years has
been the Salvation Army of Barre and their community outreach
projects like the WORLD Santa.
My mother, Elizabeth (Walbridge) Plude, was one of nine chil-
dren growing up during that hard depression years and she always
said if I was going to take on a charity it should be the Salvation
Army.
Although her mother has passed, Peterson has the amazing com-
pany of her 100 year old aunt Phyllis (Walbridge) McPherson, now
a resident of Rowan Court in Barre.
She tells the story as a child about how their family would receive
clothing from the

Salvation Army of
Barre and in colder
months would use
coats as their bed-
covers. One one
really cold night
her brother Char-
lie asked, Could
I have one more
blanket (coat)?
Although there
were tough times
they always seemed
to be fun times,
notes Phyllis, re-
membering when
the children could
run through all the
backyards in Mont-
pelier.
Thats why my
number one charity
will be the Salva-
tion Army, for all
the help they gave
my mothers fam-
ily, says Cheryl
Peterson.
Her wok, which
this time of year to-
talled 270 mittens
and hats and last
year included even baby hooded shirts, is of professional quality.
She would not disclose how much this cost her saying only, This
is my payback.

BARRE MERRY HOLIDAYS
Kathy Christys third grade students at East Montpelier Elementary
once again made their now famous bags of Chex-mix and raised
over $300 for the WORLD Santa Project that helps provide new
coats, hats and mittens for deserving area children. Christy, pictured
left presenting the proceeds to WORLD co-publisher Gary Hass, and
her students have been involved with this project for approximately
15 years. According to Hass, the students and many other individu-
als, businesses and organizations helped the WORLD Santa provide
for over 200 children - almost 70 more than originally planned. The
WORLD Santa, now in its 29th year, is the creation of the Central
Vermont Rotary Club and coordinated by the Salvation Army of
Barre with promotional service by The WORLD weekly newspaper.
The Central Vermont community is amazing, noted Hass, adding,
With all the economic hardships and two major oods, money has
still come through for this project.

MONTPELIERNew York has Times Square. Vermont has First Night Montpelier.
The Capitol Citys signature disco ball will dazzle atop City Hall while revelers
of all ages welcome in the New Year with performances and activities throughout
downtown. Named one of the Top Ten Winter Events in Vermont, First Night
Montpelier will culminate with a fantastic Parade of Lights, re organ, drummers,
puppets, lanterns, re spinner, Disco Party and, weather permitting, the launch of
300 paper lanterns.
The purchase of a First Night button provides admission to 55 performances
in ten downtown venues plus free cross-country skiing at the Morse Farm, swim-
ming at First in Fitness-Berlin, skating at the Central Vermont Civic Center, and
Spectacle And Sparkle At First Night Montpelier
ZUMBA at First in Fitness-Montpelier. Admission to the Vermont History Museum
is also free with a First Night button as is the International Food Court in City
Center. There is entertainment for all ages including marionettes, magic, comedy,
storytelling, a poetry slam, road race, and hat making workshop. Musical choices
span classical and country, rock-nroll and rockabilly, blues, folk, gospel, Celtic,
Qubcois, and Americana.
First Night Montpelier begins at noon with perennial favorite Marko the Magi-
cian and Hypnotist at City Hall Arts Center followed by Vermont Philharmonic
Orchestra and Green Mountain Youth Symphony. Then its time to put on dancing
shoes and get ready to boogie. The Tammy Fletcher Band returns to First Night
with her brand of blue-collar soul. Toes will continue to tap with Re-Bop Record
Family Concert high energy doo-wop, rock-and-roll, blues and Motown. Gene Mc-
Cormick, a saxophonist, singer, and pianist who has performed with such greats
as Isaac Hayes, BB King, and Marvin Gaye, will join Re-Bop regulars to make
sure you bop til you drop.
After a long hiatus, Jenni Johnson and Friends return for Montpeliers First
Night celebration. Singing the smooth sounds of George Gershwin, Cole Porter
and Dave Brubeck to the lively music of Billie Holliday, Roberta Flack and
Nora Jones, Jenni and Friends deliver a delightful repertoire of jazz and blues
standards.
WHATS NEW AT FIRST NIGHT MONTPELIER?
Linda Warnaar and The Drumatics are a seven-woman drumming group playing
traditional rhythms from Cuba and Haiti. They have been a staple at First Night St.
Johnsbury for many years and will be making their Montpelier debut in a concert
at Trinity Church and in the Parade of Lights.
Another First Night rst-timer is Michael Chorney & Dollar General. Chorneys
inventive music is pulsing and full of movement. He will be joined by Rob Morse
on upright bass, Asa Brosius on pedal steel, and Geza Carr on drums for a
concert in Trinity Church. Later in the evening, Chorney will partner with Miriam
Bernardo for a two-hour Tribute to Lhasa De Sala at City Hall Arts Center. De
Sala was an American-born singer of Mexican/Lebanese/Jewish descent
whose fascinating sound and haunting voice were inuenced by Mexican, Euro-
pean Gypsy, Middle Eastern, and alternative rock music.
The Unitarian Church will host The Co-op Caf: A Whatenanny of Musical
Collaborations featuring ten up-and-coming singer/songwriters performing in solo,
duo and group sessions throughout the day. When not on stage, the performers
will be available to meet with the public in the churchs vestry.
Two other newcomers will perform at Union Elementary School. Michle
Choinire is an award-winning Smithsonian Folkways artist from St. Albans, VT.
Singing in French and English, Michele performs traditional music, original com-
positions, and an occasional French classic. She will be followed by Skellig, a trio
performing Irish, Qubcois, Scandinavian and original music. Members Rachel
Clark and Bob DeMarco of the band Wind that Shakes the Barley join John Drury,
a veteran of the Qubcois and New England folk scene.
PuppeTree will add color and creativity to the festivities with a puppet making
workshop at the First Baptist Church. Design and build a winged puppet creature
to carry in the Parade of Lights then enjoy at home for the rest of the year.
AND THERES MORE
Among the other returning artists are Montpelier Community Gospel Choir,
Diane Huling, Willem Lange, Burr Morse, Starline Rhythm Boys, Karen Kevra Trio,
Cold Country Bluegrass, Good Old Wagon and Patti Casey & Tom MacKenzie.
Children of all ages will enjoy No Strings Marionette Companys space adventure,
Nick of Time, and Mr. Woodheads madcap comedy will have audiences rolling in
the aisles. The ReStores ever-popular hatmaking workshop is a necessary stop
for every First Nighter.
City Center will be transformed into First Night Center, with an International
Food Court, face painting, hot chocolate, party supplies and button sales. With
plenty of seating, it is also a place to take a break and relax between events.
PARADE OF LIGHTS FINALELast year First Night Montpelier launched a new
tradition with the Parade of Lights. Puppets, lanterns, drummers, dancers, torches,
and re spinners will make their way from the Kellogg-Hubbard Library to City
Hall Plaza where Antoinette Jacobsons Fire Organ and a crowd of revelers will
celebrate under the shimmering disco ball. Ten-year old celebrity Disco DJ Don P
will provide the musical backdrop until 10 pm.
Weather permitting, the festivities will conclude with 300 paper lanterns being
lit and released into the night sky. Also known as Kongming Lanterns, they are
constructed from oiled rice paper on a bamboo frame, and contain a tiny fuel cell.
The lanterns are only airborne for as long as the ame stays lit, after which they
oat back to the ground. In case of inclement weather, the lanterns will not be
launched and the dance party will be moved inside City Hall Arts Center.
Presented by Montpelier Alive and underwritten by National Life Group, First
Night Montpelier is sponsored by the City of Montpelier and nearly 100 local
businesses.

Thousands of needy Vermont
youngsters will be able to enjoy
warm, high-quality socks again
this winter, thanks to the joint
efforts of a charitable foundation
affiliated with Blue Cross and
Blue Shield of Vermont, Cabot
Hosiery and Darn Tough Vermont
of Northfield, and the states
community action agencies and
homeless shelters.
Blue Socks for Kids project
volunteers will deliver 8,400
pairs of premium, Vermont-made
merino wool socks to the states
community action agencies and
homeless shelters for distribution
to children in need of warm
clothing.
This is the fourth year the par-
ticipating organizations in Blue
Socks for Kids have joined
forces to improve the health and
comfort of Vermont children.
The Vermont Caring
Foundation, a non-profit charita-
ble foundation whose mission is
to advance and improve the
health of Vermonters, provided
$21,000 to finance 8,400 pairs of premium merino wool socks
made specifically for Blue Socks for Kids by Cabot Hosiery
Mills, the states (and Northeasts) only sock manufacturer.
Blue Socks for Kids has distributed more than 40,000 pairs of
socks at a cost of more than $100,000 over the four years the
project has operated.
This initiative has been very successful and warmly received
by everyone involved, noted BCBSVT President and CEO Don
George. The purpose of The Vermont Caring Foundation is to
improve Vermonters health, particularly childrens, George
explained. This is a good way to help keep Vermont kids warm
and healthy through the winter.
Health Improvement from the Ground Up...
Vermont Organization Distributes Childrens Socks
Pictured (l to r) are Don George, President and CEO of Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Vermont, Rita Markley,
Executive Director of COTS, Governor Peter Shumlin, Ric Cabot, Owner of Cabot Hosiery Mills, and Jan
Demers, Executive Director of CVOEO, announcing the donation of 8,400 pairs of wool socks to needy
Vermont children.
Research from Canada and the United States indicates that
warm underclothing is high on the list of needs among the low
income and homeless living in cold climates. An Oregon summit
on the needs of low income folks and the homeless in winter came
up with two priorities socks and healthcare.
Everyone deserves access to warm, high-quality socks during
the winter, added Ric Cabot, owner of Cabot Hosiery Mills and
Darn Tough Vermont. As a company thats been a part of the
Vermont community for over 30 years, the Blue Socks for Kids
program is a great way to thank the community for all its support
and to help give back. It brings us a lot of joy and satisfaction to
help Vermonts children.

The Descendants
1/2
G
eorge Clooney: My family seems like an archipelago.
We are part of the same group, but we are still islands
separate and alone. And were slowly drifting apart.
This quote summarizes The Descendants perfectly. The
quote like the lm is sad, funny, and wonderful.
It also partially explains why the lm is set in Hawaii. Cloo-
ney stars as Matt King: an Oahu lawyer who is absolutely set
nancially but absolutely bankrupt emotionally.
Before the story begins, we get the impression that Matt was
just mildly unhappy and unfullled. Things get a lot worse.
When his wife has a boat accident and slips into a fatal coma,
Matt is suddenly stuck trying to raise his unruly adolescent
daughters by himself. When he learns that his dying wife had
been cheating him and that everyone knew about the affair but
him, Matt is suddenly scrambling to pick up the pieces of his
shattered identity.
Moviegoers who expect nonstop action and big twists will be
bored to tears by The Descendants. Almost nothing happens.
The lm follows one tough week for Matt as he takes on the
unpleasant task of informing his family and friends about his
wifes condition so that everyone has a chance to go to the hos-
pital to say good-bye.
Matt also teams up with his eldest daughter Alexandra to track
down and confront the guy who was sleeping with his wife. But
not to kick his butt just to let him know why his girlfriend sud-
denly stopped calling.
From an action perspective, The Descendants is about noth-
ing. From a philosophical perspective, it is about everything.
If you are fascinated by humanity, you will denitely appreci-
ate The Descendants. (And if you arent fascinated by human-
ity, you should turn off the computer, get off the couch, and ven-
ture out of the house more often. There are a lot of weird people
out there to meet.)
Alexander Payne is the best director working today. Like his
other lms About Schmidt and Sideways, The Descen-
dants is a perfect, seamless combination of comedy and trag-
edy.
Payne isnt afraid to explore the dark side of the human condi-
tion. The audience is forced to experience all of Matts torment:
his grief about losing his wife, his shame about being cheated on,
and his burden of parental responsibility.
But even during Matts darkest hour, there are a few minutes
of levity and joy. The Descendants sounds like a downer, but
there are actually a lot of laughs.
At the beginning, Matt and Alexandra arent quite enemies,
but they are practically strangers. The shared project of tracking
down the man who was sleeping with Matts wife brings father
and daughter closer together.
It is the budding kinship between Matt and his daughter that
turns a sad story into a hopeful story and a good movie into a
great movie. By the end of The Descendants, the islands of the
King family archipelago have reversed course and have begun
drifting closer together.

Italian Sausage Appetizer Bread
Yield: 16 appetizer servings
1 package (16 ounces) Johnsonville Italian
All Natural Mild Ground Sausage
1 loaf (1 pound) frozen white bread dough,
thawed
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 jar (7 ounces) roasted red peppers,
well drained and sliced
1/3 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
2 cups (8 ounces) Swiss cheese, shredded
1 teaspoon poppy seeds
In skillet, brown sausage until no longer pink; drain.
On lightly floured surface, roll bread dough to 16 x
12-inch rectangle.
Transfer dough to greased baking sheet. Combine
cream cheese and garlic, spread lengthwise over center
third of dough. Top with sausage, peppers, olives and
cheese.
Fold dough over filling, pinching seam to seal. Make

Risotto with Italian Sausage, Mushrooms,
Peas and Asparagus
Yield: 6 to 8 servings
5 1/4 cups (42 ounces) chicken stock
3 sprigs fresh herbs; basil, oregano or thyme,
(optional)
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
1 package (19 ounces, casings removed)
Johnsonville Mild Italian Sausage
2 cups white button mushrooms, wiped clean

To My Jeanne:
It has been a
year since you
came to the
end of your
journey
You have
traveled your
last weary
mile.
But I will
always remember your smile
And the good things that you
had done.
You have fought some hard
battles and won
But this time God made you
the chosen one.
In the summer I will gather
some owers
And stand by the place where
you lay so
When the sun paints the sky in
the west
I will reect a few moments
and remember you were
the best.
I will always love you
and miss you everyday.
Love,
Charlie

PARTNER, JEB DANIEL, Sept. 8, 1985-Nov. 23,
2011, was born in Boston, the youngest child and
only son of Margaret Lynn and Lee Daniel Partner,
brother to Darby Louise, Brook Joanna and Promise
Bradshaw. He spent his childhood in Old Saybrook,
Conn., Groveton, N.H., and Peacham. After two
years of high school in Sisters, Ore., Jeb earned high scores on the
GED exams in the fall of 2002, and returned to his adopted home
state of Vermont. Completing the Job Corps training program, Jeb
was a night-shift nurses assistant at a nursing home in Burlington,
where he first encountered the reality of death. He then lived in
Montpelier for the six years before his own death, gaining the
esteem of residents of all kinds and working on construction,
masonry and gardening projects. Jeb said his natural high was lift-
ing weights. He loved cats. Jeb grew into a philosopher, engaging
friends in discussions ranging from the existence of time to the
purpose of humanity. As he wrestled with addiction and mental
illness, Jeb found a community at Another Way, a center offering
peer support and resources to psychiatric survivors and people at
risk. In the summer before his death, Jeb and his father took a
seven-day, 160-mile canoe trip on the upper Connecticut River.
Upon his return to Montpelier, Jeb planted kiwi vines with a good
friend, anticipating the hundreds of pounds of fruit they would
share with others when the plants matured. In October and
November, Jeb sought psychiatric care at Central Vermont
Medical Center, attended substance abuse counseling, and con-
ferred with his father regularly. Last year Jeb told his sister, I
have lived a full life; no need to live long if youve had a life that
was full. I could die at any moment, really. I dont have any col-
lege degrees or money or a car, but Ive come to realizations that
most people wouldnt even dare to consider, much less diligently
investigate. A risk-taker and a caretaker, a faithful friend and a
loving son, Jeb knew both the exuberance and the pain of life.

friends were very important to her. Betty moved to Westview
Meadows Assisted Living Unit in Montpelier in 2005, when she
could no longer manage her big home alone. She soon made
friends among the other residents and staff, and also became close
to the nurses and technicians at the Dialysis Unit at CVMC. Betty
faced aging and increasing infirmities with grace, faith, humor and
smiles. Betty is survived by her daughter Sandra Clougher and
husband, Thomas, of Montpelier, and her son, Brian, and wife,
Holly, of South Burlington. She had four grandchildren and one
great-granddaughter. In addition, she is survived by her sister-in-
law, Arlene Fisher, and husband, Charles; her brother-in-law,
Gilbert Brown, and wife, Nell; and a nephew and several nieces
and their children and grandchildren. She was predeceased by her
husband in February 1996. She was also predeceased by a daugh-
ter, Barbara Reed, her sister, Carolyn Brown, and her brothers,
Robert and Richard Wood. A memorial service will be held at
Bethany United Church of Christ on Wednesday, Dec. 28, 2011, at
2pm.

Vermont Has Lowest Preterm Birthrate in the Nation

Vermont continues to have
the lowest preterm birth rate in
the nation and received the first
ever A grade in the country
on the fourth annual March of
Dimes Premature Birth Report
Card.
Vermonts preterm birth rate,
birth before 37 week gestation,
was 9.3 percent in 2009. The rate declined from 9.5 percent in
2008.
Were proud of Vermonts low preterm birth rate, were thrilled
to receive the first A rating in country! Were committed to
continuing a decline in premature birth nationwide by working
together with our partners for stronger, healthier babies, said
Roger Young, MD, a member of the March of Dimes Board of
Trustees and director of the General Obstetrics and Gynecology
Division at the University of Vermont College of Medicine and
Gynecologist/Obstetrician, Fletcher Allen Health Care. Too
many of our babies still are born too soon, before their lungs,
brains or other organs are fully developed.
The March of Dimes released its 2011 report card during the 9th
Annual Prematurity Awareness Month
, when the nation is asked

to focus its attention on the serious problem of premature birth.
Vermont earned a star on the report card for reducing the percent
of uninsured women of child-bearing age. In addition, the rate of
women who smoked continued to decline.
Following three decades of increases, in 2009 the nations pre-
term birth rate declined for the third year in a row to 12.2%.
However, the March of Dimes says the rate is still too far from the
March of Dimes 2020 goal of 9.6 percent. Overall the nation
earned a C on the annual report card. More than half a million
babies still are born preterm each year, a serious health problem
that costs the United States more than $26 billion annually,
according to the Institute of Medicine.
Prematurity is the leading
cause of newborn death, and
babies who survive often face
lifetime health challenges,
including learning disabili-
ties, cerebral palsy and intel-
lectual disabilities. Even
infants born just a few weeks
early have higher rates of hos-
pitalization and illness than full-term infants. The last few weeks
of pregnancy are critical to a babys health because many impor-
tant organs, including the brain and lungs, are not completely
developed until then.
There are known strategies that can lower the risk of an early
birth, such as smoking cessation, preconception care, early prena-
tal care, progesterone treatments for women with a history of
preterm birth, avoiding multiples from fertility treatments and
avoiding unnecessary c-sections and inductions before 39 weeks.
The March of Dimes recently released a tool kit to help lower
the number of medically unnecessary c-sections and inductions
done before 39 weeks gestation. It is available from the March of
Dimes web site:
http://www.marchofdimes.com/prematurity/index_profession-
als_66663.asp
Here in Vermont, the March of Dimes supports the Late Preterm
Infant Initiative, a new program being used by almost every hos-
pital. It aims to reduce late preterm births by changing hospital
policies to prevent unnecessary c-sections and inductions.
The March of Dimes will continue invest in Vermont by sup-
porting programs such as this late preterm initiative, as well as
research, NICU Family Support programs, education projects and
advocacy issues across the state that work to prevent preterm birth
and help moms have full-term pregnancies and healthy babies,
said Dr. Young.

Bride Wants to Use Dog in Wedding
DEAR PAWS
CORNER: My
s t e p d a u g h t e r
Susan is getting
married on the
day after
Christmas, in the
Bahamas. A lot
of her relatives,
including myself,
are rather miffed
about the date
and location. But
even more outra-
geous are her
plans for the
wedding itself. Shes decided that her yellow Lab, Briny, will
serve as the ring bearer! Im not sure how she plans to pull this
off, but I think its really inappropriate. How can I tell her this
without upsetting her?
-- Joyce L., Deerfield Beach, Fla.
DEAR JOYCE: I dont think theres a way to say whats on
your mind without upsetting her, because youre unhappy with
the wedding plans overall. Personally, I think it sounds really
fun that Briny has such an important place in the wedding.
Susan does need to make sure that Briny can make the trip
over to the Bahamas. The website www.bahamas.com has
details on getting a pet import permit, but the most important
detail is that Briny must have up-to-date shots and Susan must
bring the written record of those immunizations with her.
So, the most you can and should do is double-check with
Susan that she has taken care of these requirements for Briny
and that shes staying in accommodations that allow pets.
This close to the wedding, its probably best not to go into
any other details. If youve accepted the invitation and final-
ized your travel plans, go to the wedding, enjoy a fruity bever-
age (preferably with an umbrella), and be happy.
Send your question or tip to ask@pawscorner.com, or write to Paws Corner,
c/o King Features Weekly Service, P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.

Proper Watering and Other December
Gardening Tips
Charlie Nardozzi, Horticulturist and
Leonard Perry, UVM Extension Horticulturist

Growing herbs indoors, proper watering of flowering potted
plants, and watching for houseplant pests are some of the garden-
ing activities for this month.
The outdoor gardening season may be over, but indoors you can
grow many herbs. Sow seeds of parsley, oregano, sage, chives, and
dwarf basil in clay pots. Once they germinate, place them under
grow lights and water and fertilize (with a half-strength solution)
only when very dry. Youll be rewarded with fresh herbs for your
winter cooking.
Decrease water and fertilizer on Christmas cactus if the buds are
developing. To prolong the colorful bracts (the showy parts on
poinsettias), keep them where temperatures dont exceed 70
degrees (F) during the day or drop below 65 degrees at night. Keep
potted amaryllis in a cool (60 degrees) shaded location until buds
open. Then move it wherever you like. Cyclamen prefer cool tem-
peratures, so keep them back from south-facing windows that heat
up during the day. Cyclamen also prefer even moisture, so dont
allow to wilt and definitely dont keep too wet or they may rot.
African violets make great houseplants and will flower in winter
if given supplemental light. To propagate new plants, take a leaf
cutting, dip the cut end in a rooting hormone powder, available at
many garden centers, and stick the cutting in a pot filled with
vermiculite, perlite, or sand. Cover the pot with a perforated clear
plastic bag and keep the soil moist. In a few weeks youll have
new plants.
If you brought in your geranium plants this fall and are growing
them indoors this winter, chances are theyve become very leggy
by now. The cloudy, short days of November and December dont
provide enough light for these plants to thrive. Cut back the plants
to about one foot tall. They will resprout and grow bushier in the
longer days of late winter.
If youve brought potted plants inside after a summer outdoors,
chances are youre now seeing a shiny, sticky substance on the
leaves and small black or green aphids on the undersides of the
leaves. Sometimes a few dunks in a sink full of soapy water will
control them, otherwise spray them with insecticidal soap or hor-
ticultural oil. Aphids are very prolific, so check and treat plants at
least weekly (or according to label directions for spray products).
The warm, dry indoor air is prime breeding ground for spider
mites on your houseplants. Look very closely at the undersides of
leaves, at the base of stems, and on new buds for fine webbing. Set
any suspicious-looking plants in the shower to wash off the mites,
and repeat frequently. Or, if its a small plant, treat as you would
for aphids.
Other garden-related activities for this month include buying
gardening gifts for your favorite gardener for the holidays, keep-
ing bird feeders full every day or two, treating your birds to high-
energy suet or shelled peanuts (woodpeckers especially love these
in wire-mesh feeders), using sand or safe salt products on icy
walks to avoid damage to plants, and decorating with locally-
grown and produced evergreen boughs, roping, and wreaths.
Although any aromatic herb is ideal for holiday decorations,
wreaths, and table centerpieces, four have biblical links with
Christmas. Many crafts shops and florists carry these dried herb
plants along with the baskets, bowls, and other trimmings needed
for decorating. You may find live cut sprigs of them at florists and
garden stores during the holidays, perhaps even plants in pots.
English Pennyroyal, a perennial herb, was said to have been
placed in the manger on the night of the Christ childs birth and
burst into bloom the moment the child was born. English penny-
royal adds a fragrant aroma to wreaths but can be toxic if ingested,
so keep out of reach of pets and children. It is often used in pot-
pourri and cosmetics and is native to southern Europe and western
Asia.
Rosemary is one of the most beautiful and fragrant of the sea-
sonal herbs. According to folklore, rosemary will bring happiness
for the coming year to anyone who smells it on Christmas Eve.
During the flight into Egypt, Mary is said to have spread her
childs garments on a rosemary plant to dry. The flowers, origi-
nally white, turned blue
and acquired the sweet
scent they have today.
Another legend claims
that at midnight on
January 5, the old
Christmas Eve, rose-
mary plants will simulta-
neously burst into flower
in celebration of
Christmas. Rosemary
plants add attractiveness
and fragrance to holiday
wreaths and are especially suitable for tussie mussies, which are
small bouquets made with dried flowers, doilies, and ribbons for
use at individual place settings on the holiday dinner table.
Rosemary plants are one of the most common holiday herbs you
can find in pots, often trained into various shapes such as wreaths
or hearts or topiaries. Look for the trailing or pendulous selection
which you can try training on a wire or support into such a
shape.
Given a cool location with light, such as a minimally heated
hallway with windows, or unheated room or garage (but not freez-
ing, around 50 to 60F is ideal), they can be kept indoors overwin-
ter. Youll be rewarded with their light blue flowers through much
of fall. Put your potted rosemary outside in summer, gradually
increasing the amount of light over a period of weeks to help them
acclimate. Keep watered but not too wet. Ive kept such a plant for
over 20 years in this manner.
Wild thyme, a pungent herb and member of the mint family, was
collected from the fields outside of Bethlehem to make a soft bed
for Mary during the birth of her child. It is thought to have anti-
septic properties and was burned as incense later in history by the
Greeks. Today thyme is a popular culinary seasoning but can be
used in dried flower arrangements, bouquets, and potpourri during
the holiday season. Plant thyme next spring in raised beds or rock
gardens.
Lavender is said to have been
used by the Virgin Mary to dye
her newborns swaddling clothes
by spreading them on a bed of
wild lavender. This herb, also of
the mint family, grows as a small
evergreen shrub (but isnt hardy
outdoors in much of the cold
north). It has grey-green leaves,
light purple flowers, and a sweet
floral scent. When dried it can be
used whole for wreaths and cen-
terpieces or crushed to use in
sachets for closets or drawers or
to scent a bath.

Set up a phone call between kids and grand-
parents a week or so before visiting. They can
talk about what the kids might like to do. It
gives the grandparents time to prepare, and it gives kids a chance
to build excitement before the trip. -- G.R. in Ohio
Clean and disinfect a wood cutting board with salt and lemon
juice. Sprinkle the board with a healthy dose of plain salt (kosher
or coarse salt works best), and scrub it with a cut half of a lemon.
Rinse and clean with soap and water.
Hairspray spritzed on the end of a thread will stiffen it long
enough to get it through a needle head. You also can thread your
needle in front of a surface thats an opposing color (e.g., a white
piece of paper while threading a needle with black thread).

NOW HERES A TIP
By JoAnn Derson
When the Holidays
Wont Light Up
Q: I bought three strings of exterior
holiday lights last year to decorate the
trees in my backyard. This year,
although I put them up the same way,
half the bulbs on one string wont
light. Whats going on? -- Carol in
Cocoa, Fla.
A: The problem is likely as simple as a single burned-out light bulb
halfway down the string. Turn on the lights as you normally do and
locate the first bulb on the string that will not light up. Mark that
bulb with a small bit of masking tape so you can find it again, and
then unplug the string.
Go to the box where you stored your holiday lights and look for
a container or a small plastic bag that contains replacement bulbs
and fuses. Return to your string, locate the burned-out bulb,
remove it by pulling it firmly straight out of the socket, and put a
replacement bulb in its place. (The new bulb must be the same size
and type as the old one.) Plug the string back in and turn on. If the
bulb was the culprit, the entire string will relight.
If that method doesnt work, you may have a fuse issue. Fuses
are located in each of the plugs. If your strings are attached end-to-
end and the failure occurs at one of these attachment points, try
removing the old fuse from the attached end and putting in a
replacement fuse (be sure to unplug the entire string before doing
this, just to be safe).
Fuse faults can occur when too many strings are attached end-
to-end, overloading the circuit. Read the package instructions to
find out the maximum number of light strings that can be attached
to each other (three strings is a good limit).
HOME TIP: Avoid using holiday lights marked indoor use only
on the outside of your house or in your yard, for safety reasons.
Use exterior lights instead.
