This is the time of year when people decide on where to make their charitable contributions, and do not do so lightly. The picture they have in their minds of a nonprofit organization to donate to must be one of care and concern for the community and the people they serve. It must be one of cost effectiveness and positive outcomes for everyone involved. Your local United Way, that is, Green Mountain United Way (GMUW), has proven itself, year after year, as an organization whose goal is to work collaboratively for the benefit of local people through programs, volunteerism and advocacy. That collaboration happens with other agencies, businesses, and individuals because we recognize that no one person or organization can accomplish community building alone. Yet, that still leaves the question of cost and how the donated dollar is used. GMUW has annually kept its fundraising and administrative costs below 10%. In other words, over 90 cents of every donated dollar goes toward the programs in the local community that help people become financially stable, live healthier lives, take advantage of early learning opportunities for their children and meet basic needs. Many ask how it is possible to operate an organization with such a low expense rate. GMUW luckily and consistently receives the benefit of many volunteer hours, which keep costs to a minimum. Partnering with businesses and individuals who believe in the mission of the United Way, we can make those lasting changes for our neighbors without an excess in cost to those who provide support. For more information about Green Mountain United Way, visit www.gmunitedway.org or call them at 802-229-9532.

The Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation will open the lottery for personal roadside firewood lots on state forest lands January 2, 2013. The two-week registration for cutyour-own lots ends January 18. Each roadside lot costs $30 and yields about three cords of wood from trees marked by Department foresters for removal as part of timber and habitat improvement projects. The firewood would be suitable for the 2013 home heating season. Demand for our roadside firewood program always exceeds supply, so be sure to get your name in, cautions FPR Commissioner, Michael Snyder. Harvesting your own firewood is a good way for families to fulfill some of their home energy needs and enjoy physical activity on their state lands. This year roadside lots are available in the towns of Plymouth, Shrewsbury, North Duxbury, Orange, Roxbury, Johnson, Groton, and Westmore. Participants will need to indicate their location preferences. Register online at www.vtfpr. org or call 802-241-3678 for more information. The department will accept one signup per household. The department will notify winners of the roadside lots in early March. All participants are strongly encouraged to learn chainsaw safety skills to use this equipment on firewood lots. Although roadside lots are reasonably close to drivable forest roads, some lots may require fourwheel drive vehicles to access. Mechanized skidding of wood to the roadside is not allowed. Please read the general information and chainsaw safety tips posted at http:// www.vtfpr.org/energy/for_energy_roadside_fuelwood.cfm.

Lennys Shoe & Apparel donated over 400 pet supplies to the Humane Society of Chittenden County last week. This donation was made possible on behalf of Lennys generous customers through a clever coin-drop game which raised $860.45. That donation translated into 114-pounds of Wellness dog food, 40-pounds of Wellness cat food, 28-pounds of peanut butter, 8 dog Kongs, 96 cat toys, 270 trash bags and 7 containers of dish detergent. This is the second year in a row that weve donated to the Humane Society of Chittenden County during the holidays, said Marc LeBlanc, Co-Manager at Lennys. We are all big animal lovers here at the Williston store and are happy to be able to fulfill some of the animals needs from the online wishlist during this season of giving. To kick off the New Year, Lennys will continue their effort to support the Humane Society of Chittenden County. Visit the Williston store in Tafts Corner Plaza this January to play the coindrop game. All donations will go directly towards the care and comfort of the animals at the Humane Society. The Humane Society is thankful for the generosity of Lennys Shoe & Apparel and their awesome customers, said Megan Stearns, Director
of Development and Outreach at the Humane Society. With no government funding, we rely on community support to care for the 80 or so animals living in our facility each and every day.

By Kim Martin, Central Vermont New Directions Coalition ive years ago, Sharon Allen and Peter Foote found the perfect market to buy. They were looking for a market people could walk to, where they could provide fresh and local food and where people could come in, have lunch and shop for dinner. The Uncommon Market in Montpelier has been all that and more. The market provides local food products all year and local organic fruit and vegetables are available when in season. The deli section offers breakfast sandwiches, muffins, homemade soups, sandwiches with Boars Head cold cuts and lunch specials daily. You can find fresh fish and seafood, and handcut steaks such as filet mignon and NY strip. The grab and go cooler offers prepared entrees like lasagna, turkey tetrazzini, quiche, and green beans with toasted walnuts. The grocery stores emphasis is on keeping the market friendly to a huge variety of people. They sell everything from macaroni and cheese to pheasant or duck. They are sensitive to costs and want to provide high quality, affordable food that will encourage people to come back over and over again. Sharon and Peter have made some good choices around tobacco and alcohol advertising and signage. As I looked around the store, I noticed that the cigarette display over the main counter was very small; the majority of their products were behind the counter covered from the public eye. This means that young people shopping at The Uncommon Market are less likely to be exposed to

Dr. Nils Daulaire, director of the Office of Global Affairs at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, will look at Americas role in setting global health priorities in a talk at Kellogg-Hubbard Library in Montpelier on January 2. His talk, Vermont, the United States, and the World: How Our Health Ties Together, is part of the Vermont Humanities Councils First Wednesdays series and takes place at 7pm. Health issues affect millions of people every year, both in our own backyards and abroad. The US spends trillions of dollars on domestic health care, but what is our incentive to look beyond our own borders to improve global health? Dr. Daulaire will discuss how health issues transcend national borders, what lessons can be learned from research abroad that can be used in the US, how global health priorities are set, and the importance of US Government investments in global health. Dr. Daulaire joined the Department of Health and Human Services as Director of the Office of Global Health Affairs in March 2010. In December 2010 President Obama nominated Dr.

ould cutting yourself a little slack improve your diet, help you stick with a workout routine and let you meet your health goals, from lowering blood sugar, LDL (lousy) cholesterol or blood pressure, to living with chronic pain? Positively. Some examples: Self-kindness makes you 23 percent more likely to take your high blood pressure medications as directed, helps you improve blood sugar numbers if you have diabetes, and makes it 64 percent easier to stick with a low-sodium diet. What is self-kindness? Well, it isnt about repeating goofy affirmations like that Saturday Night Live character Stuart Smalley, whose mantra was Im good enough, Im smart enough, and, doggonit, people like me! Its about reminding yourself that everybody messes up, not kicking yourself when youre down, looking at the big picture and identifying areas where youre doing well. Turning off your harsh inner critic and turning on a bit of selfkindness boosts your confidence in your ability to make healthy changes in your everyday habits, and it makes your RealAge younger in a number of additional ways, too! Heres how harnessing the BFF Factor produces life-changing, age-reducing results: It makes weight control easier: When diet slip-ups lead to overeating, self-kindness may work better than willpower to help you make a U-turn. Women who indulged by munching doughnuts and then were asked to taste-test candies ate fewer of those sweets when they were told: I hope you wont be too hard on yourself. Everyone eats this stuff. This led one Harvard psychotherapist to note, Self-compassion is the missing ingredient in every diet and weight-loss plan. It lets you cope with chronic pain better: Another report has shown that people with chronic pain who judged themselves less harshly when pain interfered with activities felt less depressed, less stressed and less isolated than those who adopted a tough-it-out attitude. Were not saying they felt less pain, but they were more likely to have a positive state of mind and found more ways to work around the pain (like asking for help and finding ways to make activities easier). They also found it easier to follow their doctors directions, since ridding yourself of negative thoughts makes it easier to believe that you can take control. It provides you with an extra stop-smoking tool: In the first three weeks of a stop-tobacco program, smokers who learned to give themselves positive, gentle pep talks when they felt the urge to light up (You can do it; just hold out for one more minute!) found it easier to say no to cigarettes much sooner than quitters who didnt give themselves positive reinforcement. It produces a stronger motivation to exercise: Turns out people who practice self-kindness gravitate to workouts that bring deep-down enjoyment -- often something like walking with a friend, biking Weekly with a club or dancing around the house to your favorite tunes! And that makes it easier to stick with your exercise routine week in and week out. Being motivated by the desire to look better or be sexier just doesnt sustain your commitment as well. How does a little self-love do such positive, powerful stuff? It by Edward Ferrari Jr., R.Ph. seems that an I-can-do-it attitude translates to less shame, blame Carbon Monoxide - and anger about chronic health issues, and more respect for what The Silent Killer you have done.

By Donna Butler, Certified Nurse Midwife here is a television show on cable about women who deliver babies without knowing they were pregnant. Some of these women will say that because they didn't know they were pregnant they drank alcohol, smoked and did not receive prenatal care during their pregnancy, so they are worried about the health of their baby. The show usually ends with the nurse bringing the baby to the mother after a physical exam and the narrator saying that even though the mother drank and smoked during pregnancy and did not get prenatal care, the baby is healthy. The show then advances to the family months later showing a happy family. What the program doesn't show is how that child is doing in school later on. Does he have attention deficit disorder? Does he have problems with reading or with math skills? Many children affected by alcohol have no visible problems. There is no safe amount of alcohol intake during pregnancy. Alcohol is a drug that we know can cause severe birth defects in babies. The most severe form is called fetal alcohol syndrome. These babies have developmental delays. They do not reach normal developmental milestones as soon as normal babies, such as walking and talking. They have physical features that can be noted on a physical exam such as decreased size, a thin upper lip, a smooth ridge between the upper lip and nose and less space between the upper and lower eyelids. In order to get the changes in physical features there has to be exposure to alcohol in the first trimester. The baby may be very fussy with floppy muscle tone. As they grow, they may be hyperactive, have difficulty concentrating in school and have problems with memory. They may have trouble getting along with other people. They may never have the mental capacity to hold a job or take care of themselves on their own. There is no actual test for fetal alcohol syndrome. The diagnosis is based on physical exam and history. This makes the diagnosis somewhat more difficult. Surprisingly, there is not a relationship between the amount of alcohol a baby is exposed to and the degree to which a baby is affected. There seems to be a genetic link to how a mother metabolizes alcohol that interplays with this effect. The placenta does not protect the baby from the mother's alcohol intake. The blood alcohol level of the mother reaches the baby within 2 hours of her drinking. Less severely affected babies may have what is referred to as fetal alcohol effects. These effects show up in school age children with learning difficulties and attention deficits. These children may not show problems with earlier developmental milestones nor
do they have physical features of fetal alcohol syndrome. The alcohol exposure in their early prenatal development still causes abnormal neurological changes (changes in the development of brain function). Alcohol exposure in the second trimester has been shown to affect math and reading scores. Studies which have not shown alcohol effects may be due lack of testing for the more subtle neurological findings or not following the children to an old enough age. Pregnancy is typically thought of as a sensitive period where women are motivated to change behavior to benefit their baby. About three quarters of women completely stop drinking alcohol when they are pregnant. There is no advantage to drinking alcohol during pregnancy. Alcohol has become such an accepted part of the American lifestyle that it may seem harmless, but it is not. Alcohol can cause both physical and neurological changes in fetal development in both detectable and undetectable levels. We also know that there is not necessarily a relationship between the amount of alcohol consumed and the degree of effect because of the interplay with the mother's genetics. When you look at the benefit versus the risk, the only possible conclusion to make is that every possible effort should be made to avoid exposing a fetus to alcohol in any form. If a woman is not using birth control and is sexually active, she should avoid alcohol unless she knows she is not pregnant. If she learns that she is pregnant she should stop drinking as soon as possible. This is not to say she should panic as there are many contributing factors which play a role in whether the baby will be affected. She is now making a decision that is in the best possible interests of her baby's health. A woman who is struggling with alcohol use aor abuse should seek help from her nurse-midwife or health care provider for an appropriate referral. Fetal alcohol syndrome and fetal alcohol effects are preventable. A woman making the decision to drink or not has the power to prevent them.

Reisss Pieces
By Judy Reiss As I sent out our Christmas letter to family and friends, I thought that since you all have been my friends for well over 30 years, I would send you a copy of the Reiss family Christmas letter. I hope that it finds that you all had a very Merry Christmas and that you are all anticipating a peaceful and healthy New Year! So, from our house to you all, this is our Family Christmas letter. he year of 2012 was a very eventful one for the Reiss family. When our beloved dog, Ollie passed away, Malcolm was able to fulfill a lifelong dream to have a standard poodle puppy who he named Rufus. I have never seen such a bond and it is my firm belief that if he had to pick between me and Rufus, I would be sitting on the curb with my suitcase! Fortunately I love him, too, and he is a wonderful addition to our family. However, in early September I had another stroke, which was not how I planned on ending my summer. But I have no physical problems and it did let me know that I must change my ways and behave, which I am happy to report, I have. And once home from the hospital, Malcolm made me a fabulous dinner with olives in it, and of course, although they were sold as pitted they werent and I bit on to a pit and snapped off my front tooth. And believe it or not, the Stop & Shop who sold him the olives have refused any and all responsibility, so that means that I am getting a new tooth for Christmas, I hope. And then I washed my new cell phone... hopefully this is the end of 2012 issues for me. But our biggest and best news was that our Sarah and Rene got married on the 29th of September It was a big and glorious wedding and the entire Reiss clan participated. And many of the Lessard family also. All in all it was a wonderful occasion and I consider myself so fortunate to have been able to participate... with a fake and semi-OK tooth. All the grandchildren, McKinley, Sebastian, Colby, Charlie, Ellie, Katie Mei, Camden and Nicholas are all growing up to be very attractive, kind and considerate and intelligent people! Who

could ask for anything more? And all of our children, Tobi and Heidi, Polly and Russ, Adrienne and Mike, and Sarah and Rene are all living well and are happy and best of all, they are all working at jobs that they love. So you can see how truly fortunate Malcolm and I are! Because I cant help myself, I will let you know just a little more about each grandchild. McKinley is now 17, driving, and is a junior at Tabor Academy. He played varsity football again this year as well as being a varsity wrestler. Sebastian, 15, is a freshman at the Green Mountain Valley School, is a competitive skier, mountain biker, sailor and scholar. Colby, 17, is also driving and is an exceptional guitar player and he is also a varsity wrestler at Barnstable High School. Charlie is almost 16 and is a sophomore at BHS. He is also a wrestler and is a dedicated scuba diver. Ellie is 11 and is a fierce competitor in gymnastics and has many awards to prove her skills. Katie Mei is almost 10 and is in the fourth grade. She switched to a different school this year and has continued her status as a straight A student and a shining member in their school community. She is also an exceptional recreational skier. Camden is 9 and is in the 3rd grade and has really blossomed scholastically this year. He is also a soccer player and believe it or not, a ski jumper! Actually almost any athletic event is his thing. And little Nicholas? Well, he is no longer little Nick, and he too is good at everything. He loves school, is an accomplished soccer player and can hardly wait for there to be lots of snow so he can ski race. And Malcolm and I can hardly imagine being any luckier than we are! To all of you from all of us, we hope you had a very Merry Christmas and for all of us, may we have a peaceful and safe New Year!

Senate Report:
ermonts resistance to the concept of slavery, from the constitution of 1777 to the formation of the Republican party, shaped the states commitment to the Civil War. The depth of Vermonts concern for abolition was no better expressed than in a report by a committee of the Vermont Senate in 1855: Born of a resistance to arbitrary power her first breath that of freedom her first voice a declaration of equal rights of man how could her people be otherwise than haters of slavery how can they do less than sympathize with every human being and every community which asserts the rights of all men to blessings like their own? In the course of the war, Vermont had 34,328 men under arms, mostly volunteers. That was more than twice the number of Vermonters who fought in World War I. Vermont had a greater proportion of her men killed in battle than any other northern state. Her troops were the first to attack Confederate fortifications. This was an extraordinary record for a small, rural state. An oft-quoted order by a Union general to Put the Vermonters ahead and keep the column well closed up seemed to summarize Vermont soldiers strength in battle. The order came during the first day of the Battle of Gettysburg on July 1, 1863. The New York Times wrote, two days later, A Vermont brigade held the key of the position at Gettysburg and did more than any other body of men to gain the triumph which decided the fate of the Rebellion.

midwife they may never have met or entrust their childs care with a pediatrician who may not be a familiar face. Mostly we just feel so incredibly lucky, says Dana, cradling her newborn. Service through the Peace Corps first took Dana to Armenia in 2005. Putting her masters degree in teaching English as a second language to work, she taught English and trained teachers. She then was hired as Armenia country director of American Councils, a non-profit that administers U.S. State Department and international educational programs, including student exchanges. Jason joined her in Armenia in 2008, working in the scant Armenia job market and for meager Armenian wages as a head gardener at a renovated public park. Presently staying with family in Northfield, the couple and their now two children will fly back to Armenia on Feb. 4. Natalie will need a passport before they can go. Bilingual young Gideon is on his second passport, having already filled one in his three years of life. The family hopes to make Vermont their permanent home one day again soon at least by the time Gideon will start school.

Every year I propose to myself a resolution that I will remember peoples birthdays and send birthday cards. Then to add a little more pressure, I decide that I will communicate through the written word, as I have a sister in Denmark and talking on the phone is pricey. Ah, the pressure! I cant seem to manage this resolution and feel a failure every time I propose it. Now Ive decided to either make no resolutions or make them gray. When I say gray I mean no black or white resolutions~instead of saying Im going to send birthday cards to all friends and family, I should just decide to communicate better. Better has no denition, no amount, no limits. Keep it gray this New Year~less pressure is better!

New England Culinary Institute welcomed 63 new students to its Montpelier campus this summer. On July 6th, students lined up in front of the schools flagship restaurant, NECI on Main, for a brigade inspection. Pictured is Chef Michael Rhoads, Baking & Pastry Department Chair, just one of the chef instructors whose brigade review students must pass. Inspection includes a perfectly pressed jacket, shined shoes and well groomed hands. On July 6th and 7th, Lotus Lake Camp in Williamstown invited alumni and friends to celebrate the camps 60th anniversary. Proctor Martin, his wife Helen, and his brothers Raymond and Hildreth founded the day camp in 1952. The camp is still directed by their descendents, and has welcomed generations of central Vermont families over the years. The 60th anniversary celebration included an awards ceremony, camp activities, old photos, a BYO picnic supper, sing-along and more. The Montpelier Senior Activity Center and Capital City Housing Foundation held a grand opening ceremony at 58 Barre Street on Tuesday, July 24th. Gov. Shumlin participated in the ceremony, and the building was open for tours. In December 2009, the building suffered a devastating fire, forcing the Montpelier Senior Activity Center to relocate and the building to sit vacant. After extensive renovations, MSAC now occupies an expanded portion of the building, and 14 new apartments were created on the upper floors. The Miss Vermont Junior High, High School and Collegiate Pageant was held July 22nd in Nashua N.H. Among the winners were were Bethany Carrier (left), of Barre Town, who was crowned Miss Vermont Collegiate, and Danielle Trottier (right), also of Barre Town, who was crowned Miss Vermont Jr. High School. The Miss High School and Collegiate America Pageant provides personal and professional opportunities for young women, and promotes a national anti-bullying campaign titled The Crown C.A.R.E.S. (Creates a Respectful Environment in Schools.

Max Barrows, of Worcester, received the Roland Johnson Award at the Self-Advocates Becoming Empowered (SABE) conference over Labor Day weekend in St. Paul, Minn. In addition to receiving this prestigious award, Max was reelected as the Region 8 (New England and NY) Representative to the SABE national board of directors. SABE is a nationwide disability rights organization, founded in 1990. Locally, Barrows helped co-found Capitol Advocates Together, based in Montpelier, while he was still in high school. Since 2007, he has been working for Green Mountain Self-Advocates as outreach coordinator. On September 13th, Hunger Mountain Coop hosted a 40th Anniversary Celebration at their location on Stone Cutters Way in Montpelier. Highlights of the event include a cake cutting, raffles, samples, prizes, and kids activities. Hunger Mountain Coops history dates back to the early 1970s in Plainfield, when a group of neighbors joined together to purchase groceries that were hard to find elsewhere. Today, Hunger Mountain Coop is supported by close to 7,000 MemberOwners, employs about 150 people, and has sales of almost $20 million annually. During Hunger Action Month in September, over 100 students from Cabot School and their Physical Education teacher Deb Bothfeld harvested 6,072 lbs of corn, cucumbers, summer squash and zucchini at Cabot Smith Farm. The food was donated to the Vermont Foodbank and distributed to food shelves, senior centers and meal sites across the state.

Vermonts 2012 youth deer hunt was the weekend of November 3rd & 4th. Pictured here is Summer Jane Haverick, 14, of Marshfield. Summer shot this 7-point buck just 10 minutes into the 2012 deer season. The buck weighed 155 lbs. In addition to Barres annual holiday parade and tree lighting on November 24th, The Barre Partnership hosted a Downtown Barre Open House that afternoon to celebrate Barres local businesses that endured the long Big Dig construction period. The Open House began with ribbon cuttings at both ends of Main Street, followed by horse-drawn wagon rides, holiday musical performances, appearances by Santa and the We Dig Barre mascot, Digger, hot chocolate and treats, a Cash Mob and plenty of surprises. In mid-November, Norwich University President Richard Schneider handed over the keys of Northfields new aerial fire truck to Fire Chief Peter Demasi. Norwich donated $200,000 towards the purchase of the ladder truck. The vehicle has many features not found on other trucks in the department, which will help the department fight fires more efficiently and safely. Thunder Road co-owner and founder Ken Squier received the prestigious Buddy Shuman Award during the 2012 NASCAR NMP Myers Brothers Award Luncheon in Las Vegas on November 29th. The award is given to an individual who has played a key role in the continued growth and success of Cup racing. The owner of Radio Vermont and former CBS broadcaster was the 56th winner of the Buddy Shuman award, named for NASCAR Grand National driver and chief technical inspector Louis Grier Buddy Shuman, who passed away in a hotel fire in 1955.

Rock of Ages commissioned two Rockwell paintings for use in its national advertising campaigns in the mid-1950s and early 1960s.

Last Sunday, as the snow was falling outside, Member-Owners and staff members were busy inside Hunger Mountain Coop packing enough groceries to feed 670 families in Washington County. The Coops community distribution partners braved the icy roads and arrived with helping hands to pick up the holiday grocery bags donated by The Coop. Coop Member-Owners and staff packed over $25,000 worth of donated food in six hours. This was by far our most successful Holiday Grocery Pack to date, said Krissy Leigh Ruddy, Hunger Mountain Coops Community Relations Manager. This year we were overwhelmed with the amount of support we received, and we are so thrilled to be able to offer this amount of food to the folks who need it in our community. The Coop was able to obtain groceries to fill the bags through the support of its Member-Owners and customers who donated money at the registers in November and December and from local and regional food vendors who graciously donated product. Bags were filled with all natural pasta, Boves tomato sauce, organic cereals, fresh loaves of La Panicata bread, Vermont-grown apples,
organic oranges, Two-Guys in Vermont soup and other healthy foods. Champlain Orchards of Shoreham, Vermont donated 2,000 fresh apples, La Panciata of Northfield contributed 350 loaves of freshly baked bread and Vermont Coffee Company of Middlebury donated over 350 bags of coffee. Other vendors who contributed included: Alberts Organics, Amys Kitchen, Annies, Bigelow Tea, Blue Diamond, Bobs Red Mill, Cascadian Farms, Chex Finer Foods, Country Choice Organic, Deep River Snacks, G. Housen, Green Mountain Gringo, Haddon House, Lake Champlain Chocolates, Marys Gone Crackers, Moms Best Cereals, Muir Glen, Natures Path, Once Again Nut Butters, Runa Tea, Turtle Island Foods, Vita Coco, and Yogi Tea. The food was distributed by area organizations including Barre Schools, Montpelier Senior Center, Washington Elves Program, Washington County Family Center, Central Vermont Council on Aging, the Vermont Foodbank, the Montpelier Food Pantry, just in time for the holidays.

HEALTH CARE
LOOKING FOR A MIRACLE/ Lose 20 pounds in one week? This is almost impossible! Weight loss ads must reflect the typical experiences of the diet users. Beware of programs that claim you can lose weight effortlessly. TIP: Clues to fraudulent ads include words like: breakthrough, effortless, and new discovery. When you see words like these be skeptical. Before you invest your time and money call the ATTORNEY GENERALS CONSUMER ASSISTANCE PROGRAM, at 1-800-649-2424. WANT A CURE-ALL? Health fraud is a business that sells false hope. Beware of unsubstantiated claims for health products and services. There are no Quick Cures - no matter what the ad is claiming. TIP: DO NOT rely on promises of a money back guarantee! Watch out for key words such as exclusive secret, amazing results, or scientific breakthrough. For more information on health related products or services, call the ATTORNEY GENERALS CONSUMER ASSISTANCE PROGRAM at 1-800-649-2424, or consult a health care provider.

As we move into the peak of the holiday season, its more important than ever to make sure your pets are safe, stressfree and healthy. Here are a few tips to help your pets have a happy holiday: Avoid using decorations like tinsel, which can be ingested by cats and puppies attracted to its shine and crinkly sound. Hang small ornaments and glass balls high on the tree and place larger, sturdier ornaments on the lower part. Cover electrical cords and light strands to prevent pets from chewing on them. A piece of PVC pipe or a thick piece of spare carpet, or even duct tape, can cover exposed runs along or behind the tree. Before a party or large get-together, create a safe haven for your pets in a room closed off from the rest of the house. Put their bed and blankets, toys, water and food in there, and check on them regularly. Make sure candies and chocolates stay off the floor so that pets cant ingest them. Chocolate is poisonous to dogs. Use toddler gates to keep your pets out of areas like the kitchen, so they dont get into holiday baking. Make sure to keep pets on a regular feeding, walking and play schedule. This will help them deal with the more stressful period of the holidays. Monitor your pets behavior during the holidays. If they appear lethargic, yelp in pain when you touch their stomach, nip at you when you reach for them, or show other signs of stress or illness, contact your veterinarian immediately.

Q: I have a full set of Russel Wright dinnerware in the American modern. I love the simplicity of the pattern, and Id like to know a little more about the company. -- Susan, Batavia, Ill. A: Russel Wright was one of Americas most creative industrial designers and was instrumental in creating several lines of dinnerware, glassware and aluminum items. All are extremely popular with collectors. The American Modern pattern was manufactured at the Steubenville Pottery Company in 1939 and production continued until about 1959. Pieces of this pattern in White, Bean brown, Cantaloupe and Glacier Blue are especially desirable. Typical prices are mug, $50; coffee pot, $150; refrigerator jar, $160; and 10-inch dinner plate, $10. If any are in the colors mentioned earlier, values would double. If you can track down a copy of The Collectors Encyclopedia of Russel Wright Designs by Ann Kerr, get it, since is one of the better references. *** Q: I have sent you three letters but have not seen my question answered in your column. Why? -- Unsigned but postmarked in Leland, Fla. A: I dont answer anonymous letters. If you request my help,

you should at least have the courtesy of sharing your name with me. A telephone number also is helpful, so if I have any questions I can contact you. After a question is answered in this column, the original letter is destroyed in my shredder, guaranteeing the writers anonymity. There is no need for such secrecy. *** Q: I have a vase marked R.S. Poland that I purchased in a consignment shop for $25. I cant find the mark in any of my reference books. -- Laura, Willmar, Minn. A: R.S. Poland is a mark attributed to Reinhold Schlegelmilchs factory in Tilliwitz, Silesia. I think your vase is post World War II. Many of the vases produced by this company often sell well above $500. *** Q: I have 12 postcards from the New York Worlds Fair of 1939. What would they be worth? -- Josie, Ormond Beach, Fla. A: There were millions of postcards printed and sold during the fair. Most sets sell in the $15 to $25 range, depending on quality and views.

Will the Internet kill your free community paper? Did instant coffee kill coffee?
New technologies change many things. But not everything. You may tweet, blog, surf, shop, or search online but you continue to read your free community paper. You just proved it. Readership of free community papers is now higher than paid daily papers, and continues to grow. Rather than being replaced by instant media, your local free community paper has become an important part of our neighborhood. The reason, which sometimes is not heard because of all the noise about the Internet, is pretty obvious: your free community paper does what the Internet doesnt. We promote connections at a local level. Free papers join readers and advertisers in ways digital media dont. In fact, the local content and power of your free paper makes advertising even more effective. We are the number one medium for driving purchases. Thats important in every product category. Including coffee.
