2011 REVIEW
Gee Whiz, time fies!! Here we are at the last issue of our
publications for 2011, then it is HO, HO Merry Christmas,
followed shortly aferward by Happy New Year and thats it
another year gone by, never to come again.
Up until we hit November, I have generally been thinking
that this was a pretty good year!! Te Jet has grown into his job
as head of security, and a mighty fne job he is doing ... total
business losses due to thef or embezzlement - a big fat zero!!!!.
Te missus seems easier to get along with or maybe Im just
getting sof in my old age. Te GRAND, grand-daughter has
been just grand all year and a pleasure to have nearby. As long
as we continue to play hide and seek, have foot races, and
imaginative play times together, I know that Im not getting any
older.
Although, under-funded by millions of dollars, my woods road
reconstruction advanced quite signifcantly during the year.
Between the lousy wet weather we had and work on the woods
road, I didnt harvest as much wood as I had hoped to but no
big deal.
So life has been not too bad in 2011, until November rolled
around. Ten I mashed three fngers while working on my wood
chipper, which was followed quite quickly with a lung infection,
but that little rough patch seems to be coming to an end. Both
fngers and lungs are recovering and I expect by the New Year to
be back in tip-top condition.
November did, however, bring one fantastic blessing the
birth of our second Grand-grand daughter, Charlotte Rose.
Charlie is already getting regular instruction on how to say
Grumpy, although I am willing to accept Bumpy to start of
with, if she follows the same learning curve as her cousin.
To all of the people who make up the Ossekeag Family, readers,
advertisers and staf, I want to wish everyone the very best
Christmas Season ever. Make sure that you take the time to
enjoy family and friends. Also remember, Feeling gratitude and
not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it. --
William Arthur Ward.
See you when we return in 2012 for another challenging year as
we seek to Build Better Communities!! 801

SEASONAl SONg - HOlIDAy FAVORITE
Te song Winter Wonderland has become a staple of holiday
radio. Much like Jingle Bells, Winter Wonderland was not
intentionally written to become a Christmas carol, but evolved
into one over time. Te song was published in 1934 by composer
Felix Bernard and lyricist Richard B. Smith. Smith resided in the
town of Honesdale, Pennsylvania, and was inspired to write the
lyrics of the song afer seeing Honesdale Central Park and his
own childhood home blanketed in snow. Smith actually wrote
the lyrics while being treated in the West Mountain Sanitarium
in Scranton, Pennsylvania, for tuberculosis.
Many singers have performed the song throughout the years,
so much so that it is ofen a standard song on artists holiday
compilations. Some of the better-known and earlier versions
were made by Te Andrews Sisters and Perry Como.
Winter Wonderland has evolved into one of those songs
that inspires visions of snowy splendor. Original lyrics feature
a portion of the song mentioning young lovers being married
spontaneously by a travelling parson, a Protestant minister.
Some thought those lyrics sent the wrong message to children,
and another version was written with a circus clown, instead.
Te song has been sung with either bridge in place and even
both in lengthier versions of the tune. CH2

JOIN A cHRISTMAS BIRD cOuNT
For 112 years, people across North America, and more recently
around the world, have been venturing in to
the out-of-doors during the holiday period
to conduct annual Christmas Bird Counts.
Tese citizen scientists collect data to
allow scientists to identify changes in bird
populations and distribution and to support
conservation initiatives.
Te Christmas Bird Counts also provide a great opportunity
for anyone with an interest in birds to team up with other
observers for a fun day of birding. Many of the counts in the
southern part of the province are coordinated by the Saint John
Naturalists Club and you are invited to join us for one or more
of these counts (listed below). As the counts are done in teams,
no experience is necessary. Indeed, it is a fun and relaxed way
to learn more about our winter resident birds. You can also be
part of the Christmas Bird Count for your area by recording the
birds coming to your back yard feeder. Your observations will be
added to those of the feld teams.
To aid in planning the counts, please register in advance with
the local coordinator: Hammond River (includes Hampton,
Quispamsis areas), Monday, January 2

It has been a busy Year again for our Club; our Monthly
Country Breakfast Fundraisers have been well attended and
everyone leaves happily full! Each Year our Club gathers hand
knitted hats, scarves and mitts from dedicated local people
and distribute them around the local area junior schools. Its
amazing how many kiddies lose their winter gloves etc and this
supply comes in real handy (pardon the pun!).

Hammond River Elementary and Principal Natalie Graham

HHS INFORMER
Christmas break is almost here and every student
at HHS is frantically racing to complete their fnal
projects before the holidays. We are in much need
of a rest, but for the time being, we are going to
keep our community up to date with exciting news
happening all around Hampton.
Our Annual Christmas Parade was very successful
this year. Te time and energy spent in decorating the numerous
foats was evident by their twinkling and fashing lights. Getting
into the Christmas spirit this season was not hard for the
children who attended the Hampton High Christmas Frolic
on December 10
th
. Many students volunteered to help young
children make crafs and play fun games for the day. All the
children lef happy and could not wait for Santa to come to their
house.
Anti-bulling day is soon approaching on December 16
th
, and
it would be greatly appreciated if everyone would remember
to wear pink to help stand up against bullying! If we all band
together and dress in pink we can reduced the percentage of
bullying throughout our community.
HHS is proud to announce the Athletes of the Week: Courtney
Buck (JVG Basketball); Nicole Humphrey (SVG Basketball);
Andrew Lamrock (JVB Basketball); Paul Kim (SVB Basketball);
Clayton Holteen (Wrestling); Kennedy Cosman (Girls Hockey);
and Anthony Lee (Mens Hockey). Good job athletes!
Here is what you have all been waiting for, the sports report! In
varsity boys hockey action, the boys conquered the St. Malachys
Saints 3-1. Te varsity girls hockey team won both of their
games, defeating the Simonds Sea Bees 2-1, and the St. Stephen
Spartans 4-1. In Basketball, the varsity boys got their frst win of
the season under their belts, pummelling Rothesay Netherwood

Before reaching into your jewelry box or
polishing the hidden treasure that you found in the attic, the
BBB recommends that you do your homework. Consumers
need to take a seller beware approach and do their research
before getting involved said Don MacKinnon, President and
CEO of the BBB servicing Atlantic Canada. Dont expect to get
rich!
Te BBB tips for selling valuables: Do your research! Check
reference books, the internet and local knowledgeable reputable
businesses to determine the value of the item; Have it appraised
by a certifed appraiser; Always take the time to shop around;
Know the diference between an appraisal and an ofer; Do

companys guarantee. Get it in writing; Check the internet to see
what other sellers are saying about their experiences with the
company; If they are buying gold, do they weigh it and can you
see the scales; Check with the BBB for a report on the company.

WHy DO WE HANg cHRISTMAS STOcKINgS?
St Nicholas was born in 280 AD, in Patara,
a city of Lycia, in Asia Minor. He was a
Christian priest, who later became a bishop.
He was a rich person, and traveled the
country helping people, giving gifs of money
and other presents. St Nicholas did not like
to be seen when he gave away presents, so the
children of the day were told to go to sleep
quickly or he would not come! Nothing has
changed and Santa Claus will not arrive this Christmas unless
the children go to sleep early.
It is said that there was a poor man who had no money to give
to his three daughters on their wedding day. St Nick dropped
bags of gold into the stockings which the girls had lef to dry by
the fre. Te sisters found the gold and ever since, children have
hung up stockings on Christmas Eve hoping that they will be
flled with presents by Christmas morning. CH17

HHS gRAD clASS NEWS
Te Grad Class Cofee House for November was
once again a great success! Te students of HHS
amazed the crowd with their outstanding talent, and
although not all of the seats were flled, the audience
members in attendance enjoyed the performances.
Te HHS annual Canadian Tire money drive was
a success. Canadian Tire money was collected by
homeroom classes and will now be donated to the Lions Club to
help buy Christmas presents for families in need. Tere was over
$200 raised in total, and Mr. Boyds homeroom raised the most
with an average of $2.54 per student.
Te annual Christmas semi-formal dance is coming up at HHS
on Friday, December 16
th
. Tis dance will be a great way to
get people (and their sweethearts) in the holiday mood! Make
sure you throw on something nice (sorry guys, no jeans), ask
someone to go with you, and get down to the school! If you do
not have a date, come anyway! Tis dance will be great fun, so
do not miss out on your last chance to come to the Christmas
Formal.
Te frst exclusive Grad Class event was very successful! Tere
was some serious gingerbread house building! I have to admit,
some people demonstrated just how competitive they were with
some friendly competition between house builders. We also
watched the movie Elf and had a great night bonding as a Grad
Class!
Tis will be, unfortunately, the last time you hear from me
before Christmas (please, dry your tears)! On that note, on
behalf of the Grad Class Executive, I would like to wish you all a
safe and Merry Christmas! Eat well, be merry, and you will hear
from me in the new year!

R.c.R. cHIlDRENS EDucATION FuND
During the last several years (locally about three years)
fundraising has been on-going in support of the Royal Canadian
Regiments Children of Fallen Soldiers Education Fund which
would beneft the children of Canadian soldiers who have died
in current confict. Te following is an update on the status of
the education fund as of November 1011.
Due to the generous donations and hard eforts of dedicated
people the Education Fund for the Children of Fallen Soldiers
has almost reached the point where the cost of education for
these children is covered. When this point is reached any
additional funds will be used for the children of returning
soldiers with physical or other problems.
Altogether close to $40,000 has been raised. Tis was achieved
through dances, concerts, car shows and would not have been
possible without the help of our sponsors.
Tank you to all who have been involved for your support. 829
Recently employees of Lockerbie and Hole Construction
at the PCA mine site in Sussex held a 50//50 with half of the
funds raised to be donated to a local charity. Money in the
amount of $1,270 was presented to the RCR (Royal Canadian
Regiment) Education Fund for the Children of Fallen Soldiers.
A very generous donation and very appropriate at the time of
Remembrance of our servicemen.
A painting of the Royal Canadian Regiment in Afghanistan was
rafed of, with over $700 raised through the ticket sales.
Some ideas for the Holidays
Make the most of the BIG day.
Rather than one big gi-grabbing-
unwrapping frenzy, encourage each family
member to open one present at a time
with all eyes on the person opening their
gi. is helps build appreciation into the
activity and places a focus on giving as well
as receiving
Make it last the whole year long. All the presents during
the holidays can be overwhelming especially for young children.
Why not take half of your childs gi and tuck them away and
reintroduce them during the other months of the year. is will
allow your child to explore their gis gradually and spread that
holiday joy through out the year. A great idea to help perk up those
long winter days in February and rainy days in the summer when
your kids are looking for something to do.
Focus on Family. Place the focus on celebrating together
( making cookies, decorating the tree, visiting relatives, eating
together) over the holidays rather than the presents. Talk about
those family traditions that Mommy and Daddy had growing up
and what are now the Family Traditions.
e Gi of Giving. Encourage your child to think of gi
ideas for others. Bring them shopping or better yet encourage them
to make a gi. (i.e. cookies, drawings, cards, etc...). Even though
you may need to give your child money to buy a gi, it encourages
your child to think about others and what would make them happy.
Children get great pleasure out of giving gis and having
you express your appreciation to them.
Nothing like a Mommys /Daddys hug!

Rescue.
Enjoy the holiday season but
be cautious with your Christmas tree.
Buy a freshly cut tree and keep the

it away from all heat sources and
make sure it doesn't block a
doorway.
Check all decorative lights before
placing them on the tree and discard
any frayed or damaged lights and
cords.
Test your smoke alarms to make sure
they are in good working order and
change the batteries, if necessary.
Review your re escape plan. Do all
members of your household know
two ways out of every room?

FINDINg FIDO uNDER THE TREE
Most children ask for a pet at some point in their lives very ofen
a puppy, and very ofen at Christmas. Tey plead with Mom and
Dad for a puppy and promise theyll feed him and walk him and
take care of him. Te novelty usually wears of afer a few weeks
or sometimes months, and Mom and Dad become the full-time
feeders and the walkers and the poop-scoopers for the next 10-15
years.
Te chaos of the holidays is generally not a good time to
introduce a new dog, because he/she needs a lot of time, training
and a regular routine. But if everyone in the household supports
the idea of getting a dog and is willing to contribute, parents can
wrap a dog toy, bowl and a leash to put under the tree. Te family
can then start researching what kind of dog would be suitable and
where to fnd him/her.
A great place to start is fndingfdo.ca, a new website launched by
the Canadian Federation of Humane Societies (CFHS). Tis fun
website provides many tools and advice to help families make sure
theyre ready for a dog, how to pick the right one and how to make
sure its from a caring, reputable source. Te website will help you
decide whether you should look for a puppy, an adult or maybe a
senior, and how to fnd the right Fido for your lifestyle. Be sure to
answer Fidos 15 questions!
Tere are thousands of wonderful dogs, cats and other animals
at humane societies, SPCAs and rescue groups just waiting to be
adopted into their forever homes. Youll fnd puppies, adolescents,
mature dogs and purebreds too. Te expert staf at a shelter will
be able to tell you a bit about a dogs temperament such as if the
dog is good with children, gets along with cats, is full of energy
or prefers to relax all day. All of this information is invaluable in
helping you make the right decision.
If you really want to buy from a breeder, you must do your
homework to make sure you dont unknowingly support a puppy
mill or backyard breeder. A puppy mill is a breeding operation
where dogs are mistreated and kept in horrendous conditions.
Such places thrive on people making impulse and uninformed
decisions. FindingFido.ca provides the specifc advice you
need and the questions you should ask to be able to distinguish
caring, ethical breeders from disreputable and downright cruel
operations. Te bottom line is you must always visit a breeder
before agreeing to buy a puppy, and dont rely solely on websites.
When people make a smart, informed decision to get a dog,
their new friend will enrich their life in so many ways. But when
people make uninformed or impulse decisions, the result is
ofen heartache, expense and guilt for the people, and sufering
or abandonment for the dog. FindingFido.ca will help you do it
right. So think carefully, choose wisely and love deeply.

HMS NEWS
by Hayley Doucette
On November 24
th
, the French immersion
students of Hampton Middle School (HMS)
enjoyed a real treat. All French immersion
students, grades 6 to 8 were invited to the
second French cultural presentation of the
2011-2012 school year held at Kennebecasis
Valley High school (KVHS). Tis presentation showed students
the best of two worlds the newest, most amazing hip-hop and
break dancing combined with a wonderful, French-emerged
experience.
Upon the arrival at KVHS, students received a warm welcome
and took their places in the theatre. When the show began,
each audience member automatically realized that this was
going to be an entertaining show from start to fnish. Te
exciting presentation slid through the life of a performing
dancer, student and teen. Tere were many laughs that came
from the highly-entertained audience and jaws dropped as the
performers demonstrated many unbelievable tricks and glided
through many difcult dances. Each of the four performers were
seasoned professionals and gave each student a piece of not only
the history of dance, but pieces of the French language to grasp,
afer hearing many intriguing stories.
One of the many highlights of the performance was towards
the end. Four teachers were randomly selected from the
audience by the performers. Two were from our very own HMS!
Te lucky teachers were Mr. Power, and Mme. Saunders. Each
teacher was taken backstage, dressed up in an outft chosen by
the performers and given a scenario. Tey then made their way
back to the stage in full view of the audience.
Mr. Power put on a great show, dressed in a red robe and equipped
with boxing gloves. He rose to the challenge and followed his
scenario, dancing around the stage like an experienced boxer.
But, even afer an excellent job, it was Mme. Saunders, dressed
as Harry Potter, complete with a sorcerers hat, cloak, overly
large glasses, and a wand, who made it into the top two.
Each moment throughout the performance was wonderful, and
the experience was great. HMS sends many thanks to District 6
for the spectacular show!

DRIVINg ON WINTER TIRES SAVES lIVES
A 2011 study, which compared Quebec road accident statistics
before and afer winter tire use became required, shows that in
the past two winters there has been a fve per cent reduction in
road-accident injuries that can be directly attributed to winter
tire use. Te research concludes that winter tires prevent about
575 road-accident injuries per winter in Quebec. Te study also
found that vehicle accidents resulting in death or serious injury
declined by three per cent.
What motorists may not know is that todays high-tech winter
tires ofer far more than better traction on snow, ice or slush
covered roadways. Te rubber compounds used in todays
sophisticated winter tires deliver better grip in all cold weather
driving conditions including dry pavement. Te result is a
dramatic improvement in driver control and traction in all
winter driving conditions, particularly when cornering or
braking.
Drivers who choose to roll on winter tires will notice the
diference in traction when the temperature falls below seven
degrees Celsius, or as soon as they can see their breath.
Traditionally, many drivers, particularly those who live in
cities or towns where the streets are cleared regularly, have
opted for all-season tires to avoid the bi-annual tire changeover.
All-season tires can provide safe all-weather performance, but
winter tires deliver up to 50 per cent more winter traction.
When buying winter tires, motorists should look for the
mountain snowfake symbol on the sidewall. Tires with this
symbol meet or exceed tire industry snow traction requirements.
Proper tire maintenance and infation are also important
contributors to safe winter driving.
Motorists should remember that excessive tread wear can
diminish traction and, as a result, tread depth should always be
checked at the start of the winter driving season. Drivers who
are unsure if their tires are overly worn should consult their tire
retailer to determine if they should be replaced.
Proper tire infation is another winter driving essential. Tires
that are under-or-over infated have a smaller footprint on the
road surface, which lessens their grip. Te result is reduced
stopping and handling capabilities and wasted fuel.
Tire infation pressure can drop quickly during cold snaps.
Every fve degrees Celsius change results in about one psi change
in pressure, so a temperature drop of 15 degrees Celsius would
result in 10 per cent or three psi under-infation. During winter,
tire makers recommend measuring tire infation frequently
using a reliable tire gauge to ensure tires are properly infated to
the vehicle manufacturers recommendation.
Learn more about winter tires by visiting betiresmart.ca

Te recently renovated Learning Centre at the Boys and Girls
Club in Saint John has improved its afer-school program by
ofering interactive educational tools. Te Learning Centre
ofcially reopened recently afer undergoing extensive
renovations.
Te Saint John Building Trade Unions (International
Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 502, Boilermakers
Local 73, Carpenters and Millwrights Local 1386, Ironworkers,
UA Pipeftters Local 213, Insulators Local 131 and the Labourers
Local 900) were a key part of this renovation which included
new heaters, new light fxtures, new ceiling tiles, new window
coverings, new custom built bookshelves as well as a fresh coat
of paint. Te Unions also purchased all new desks & chairs,
four laptops (installed with fbre optics network) and work
stations, a teachers desk station and computer, secure storage
unit, a large screen (50 inch) TV and DVD player. Outside of
the Learning Center, the hallway, the mezzanine and ofces all
had new ceiling tiles and light fxtures installed. Te total value
of purchases and labour to install everything was over $45,000.
Other major sponsors were Canaport LNG who bought a smart
board to include in the center and Giant Tiger who donated
cash.
Eamon Clarke, said while speaking on behalf of the local
building trades stated At our meetings we were asked why
we were so involved in this project and the two most popular
answers were that many of our members and their families
attended the Boys & Girls Club and that we recognized that this
is the future generation of our working brothers and sisters.
Te afer-school program, designed for kindergarten to Grade
5, runs from 3 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. and aims to assist children with
their school curriculum. Approximately 30 to 50 children use
the centre on any given day and the centre provides tutors who
work with children one on one.
Cooper said the upgrade to the Learning Centre is only the
beginning. Plans are in the works for a new music studio and arts
centre. Construction has already begun on a new playground
and gymnasium. 810

HAMPTON-PIggS PEAK NEWS
Te Hampton-Piggs Peak Partnership will be presenting
the seventh annual cofee house for Swaziland at 7:00pm on
th
at Hampton High School. Please join
us for an evening of music featuring an assortment of local talent.
Admission is only $5 and all proceeds will go toward the Tyler
Henderson Swaziland Scholarship of Hope, an annual award to
students at Fundukuwela High School who embody and inspire
the spirit of hope that will lead the students and the community
out from under the cloud of AIDS.
Very soon our committee will be making some big decisions
regarding the fnancial support we will be able to provide in the
upcoming year. Tis year we provided over $50,000 to fnance
a number of projects including a new latrine; supplying water
and food; and providing medical attention in critical situations.
Our main undertaking was the payment of school fees for
approximately 80 students.
Lisa and I recently returned from Piggs Peak. Bev Harrison also
just visited there. (Tese costs are paid from our own pockets;
100% of your donations go to projects we are supporting.) We
can tell you that the needs are enormous but your donations are
making a diference. For me, the diference was most evident
in the contrast between the abject poverty and hopelessness
evident in the settlement of Macembeni and the vibrancy and
joy I saw amongst the girls in the home economics class at Peak
Central High School. I also had a light bulb moment regarding
the requirement for school uniforms; the additional cost seems
exorbitant in such a poor country. But when you realize these
are ofen the only decent clothes the students have to wear and
you see the immediate improvement in self esteem, you start to
realize that this might be a small price to pay for the glow they
bring.
Yes, the Hampton students in Piggs Peak are glowing! Tey
are bright and hopeful and, through their education, possess
perhaps the only opportunity they have to escape from the cycle
of poverty, disease and despair brought by the AIDS pandemic.
It is through your donations, particularly as Starfsh sponsors,
that we are creating these points of light. Tank you!
In 2012 we would like to at least maintain, and ideally increase,
our number of students. But we need your help now. Te best
way is by becoming a Starfsh sponsor. Please sign up on our
website at hamptonpiggspeak.ca or call me, Mark Bettle (832-
0003), or Carl MacKenzie (832-2704). Its only $25/month and,
if you sign up in December, you will be able brighten a life in
Piggs Peak next year. 110
STAPlE OF HOlIDAy DEcOR
Chances are, holiday revelers will fnd
themselves underneath the mistletoe at least
once this holiday season. While they might
know what to do when that time comes, they
might not know the history of that plant
above their heads. Especially sacred to Celtic
Druids, mistletoe was believed to bestow life and fertility, while
also protecting against poison and serving as an aphrodisiac.
Mistletoe would later take on a more political meaning, as
the ritual of cutting the mistletoe came to symbolize the
emasculation of the old king by his successor.
Nowadays, mistletoe is typically hung in doorways or
entryways from one room to another. Tis tradition can also
trace itself back several centuries to the Middle Ages. During
the Middle Ages, branches of mistletoe were hung from ceilings
to ward of evil spirits. Troughout Europe, mistletoe was placed
over doorways in the house as well as the stables as a means to
preventing the entrance of witches.
Te tradition of kissing underneath the mistletoe likely stems
from the belief that mistletoe bestows fertility and is ofen
associated with the Roman festival of Saturnalia, a period
of merrymaking that pre-dated Christmas. In 18
th
century
England, a young lady standing underneath the mistletoe could
not refuse to be kissed. Once kissed, the kiss would signify deep
romance or eternal friendship.
History also suggests that mistletoe was a symbol of peace. In
Scandinavia, mistletoe was considered a plant of peace. When
standing underneath the mistletoe, enemies could declare a
truce and spouses could end any marital turmoil with a kiss. CH5

DEVOuRINg FRuITcAKE FAcTS
Te holidays and fruitcake have long been intertwined. Fruitcakes
are ofen mocked, detested and discarded. Few gifed foods
create such strong derision. However, fruitcake is tradition. And
as most people know, Christmas is all about tradition. Fruitcake
is an enduring tradition, most simply because the food, well,
endures. Most fruitcakes will last eight to 12 months if wrapped
tightly in plastic wrap and stored in an airtight container. If
frozen, their lifespan could be endless. Jokingly, many families
have said fruitcake is the only food durable enough to become
an heirloom. While mocked, it may entice a few people to know
just how fruitcake has become a holiday treat.
Te oldest references to fruitcake date back to Roman times.
Ancient crusaders and hunters consumed fruitcake made with
preserved fruits, pomegranate seeds, pine nuts, raisins, and
honey. Fruitcake was a durable commodity that could persevere
on long trips. Because of its combination of ingredients,
fruitcake was also a good source of energy, much the way a trail
mix is good for todays hikers.
In the 1700s, Europeans baked a ceremonial fruitcake at the
end of the nut harvest. It was saved and eaten the following year
at the harvest, with the hopes it would spur another successful
harvest. Fruitcake evolved to more of a delicacy in the 1800s,
even being served with tea in high society. It is rumored that
Queen Victoria waited a year to eat a gifed fruitcake as a show
of restraint and moderation.
Fruitcake can be an integral part of a holiday celebration, and
not because its being used to block drafs from under a door.
Instead of giving fruitcakes as gifs, they should be served as part
of the holiday feast. In addition to the sugar cookies and pies
on the Christmas table, celebrants can serve slices of fruitcake
featuring their favorite ingredients. CH6

HOuSEHOlD HOlIDAy SAFETy FOR PETS
As the pages of the calendar fip and we move closer to the
holiday season, pet owners should be aware of common but
hidden dangers to their pets as we transform our homes for
the celebrations to come.
Te holidays are supposed to be a time of joy for our families,
but in preparing for the season, many pet owners run the risk
of exposing their pets to household dangers that could present
potential life-threatening hazards to their pets, said veterinarian
Lori Pasternak.
Pasternaks list of prospective risks include:
Decorations while holiday decorations can make a home feel
more festive, they can be tantalizing traps for pets. Pet owners
should keep decorations and ornaments higher up on trees so
they are not consumed by pets. If a pet decides the colorful
garland or tree trim might make a tasty snack, they can and
will get stuck in your pets intestines, necessitating immediate
surgical removal. Moreover, exposed cords from electric lights
can cause electrocution or oral burns if chewed.
Gif Wrap when its time to pull all the gifs out of hiding to be
wrapped, take care that your pet isnt in the room as you spread
out all the wrapping paper, bows and ribbons. If a cat should
starting gnawing on the ribbon, it will literally stitch the cats
intestines together as it is being passed through the gut. Surgery
is one holiday gif you dont want to give your family pet.
Holiday Feast while turkey and ham make up the majority of
traditional holiday meals, turkey and ham bones can become
lodged in the intestines if swallowed in large pieces. Be careful
that your guests dont give in to the holiday spirit too much and
choose this time to ofer table scraps to your pets. Your pet could
become seriously ill or even choke to death.
Flowers the Poinsettias many choose to use as holiday
centerpieces are also toxic to most household pets if they are
chewed and swallowed in large enough quantities. Te level of
toxicity is completely proportionate to the size and weight of
your pet, but instead of doing the math on that equation, its
better to choose other types of foral arrangements that dont
endanger your pets.
Te best holiday gif you could give your pet is a hazard-
free household so they can enjoy the warmth and joy of your
celebrations safely and soundly. 906

NIgHT BEFORE cHRISTMAS ON THE RANcH
Twas the night before Christmas & out on the ranch
Te pond was froze over & so was the branch.
Te snow was piled up belly-deep to a mule.
Te kids were all home on vacation from school,
And happier young folks you never did see-
Just all sprawled around a-watchin TV.
Ten suddenly, some time around 8 oclock,
Tere came a surprise that gave them a shock!
Te power went of, the TV went dead!
When Grandpa came in from out in the shed
With an armload of wood, the house was all dark.
Just what I expected, they heard him remark.
Tem power line wires must be down from the snow.
Seems sorter like times on the ranch long ago.
Ill hunt up some candles, said Mom. With their light,
And the freplace, I reckon well make out all right.
Te teen-agers all seemed enveloped in gloom.
Ten Grandpa came back from a trip to his room,
Uncased his old fddle & started to play
Tat old Christmas song about bells on a sleigh.
Mom started to sing, & 1st thing they knew
Both Pop & the kids were all singing it, too.
Tey sang Christmas carols, they sang Holy Night,
Teir eyes all a-shine in the ruddy frelight.
Tey played some charades Mom recalled from her youth,
And Pop read a passage from Gods Book of Truth.
Tey stayed up till midnight-and, would you believe,
Te youngsters agreed twas a fne Christmas Eve.
Grandpa rose early, some time before dawn;
And when the kids wakened, the power was on.
Te power company sure got the line repaired quick,
Said Grandpa - and no one suspected his trick.
Last night, for the sake of some old-fashioned fun,
He had pulled the main switch - the old son-of-a-gun!

THE PERFEcT TREE
I love Christmas. I cannot remember a time I didnt love Christmas.
As December 1
st
approaches, I anticipate hauling out the boxes and
bins of Christmas decorations and start planning where things are
going this year. We have spent two Christmas seasons in our new
home now, but I am still experimenting with where I want old
favourites and picking up the perfect thing for new nooks and
crannies. Te piece de resistance is of course the Christmas tree.
Mike and I have always had a real tree, and now with living on 170 or
so acres of mostly trees one would think the problem would be which
lovely tree to choose. Not so.
Last year we started early . . . like March. We stomped all up and
down the woods eyeing every fr tree we saw. By early December I
was getting desperate. Finally we agreed that the best solution was
to cut a tall tree and use the top for Christmas and the remaining
sofwood for campfre wood. Except . . . afer two attempts, still no
acceptable Christmas tree. Tose tops that look so lovely and lush and
full from 30 feet down on the ground were not nearly so appealing
at eye level! So . . . we bought a tree. A real one for sure. And it was
beautiful. And in spite of many miles of walking those same acres this
year, it looks like we will do the same again. How it is possible to have
all those trees and not a decent Christmas tree to be found I do not
understand, but it is so.
Much as I enjoy the decorating and eating and the gif giving,
the real joy of Christmas is the people. Tis Christmas we have an
additional family member with whom to celebrate, as we have a new
grand-daughter born in November. Welcome to little Charlotte Rose,
your cousin Carmen cant wait for you to get big enough to join her
in ganging up on Grumpy!
I extend a big thank you to all of our readers and advertisers. May
you all enjoy this holiday season with family and friends. May you
look forward to 2012 with joy and anticipation. And may those who
have lost someone dear to them fnd personal peace during this time.
Especially, Merry Christmas to Mike (who can drive me crazy but is
much loved), to our two beautiful daughters, to my Mum and to my
brother, and to our two lovely grand-daughters. You are all very dear
to me. Miss you, Dad. 801
