While youre trekkingthrough the mallsor cruising websiteslooking for great

holiday bargains, it may bedifficult to remember that noteveryone around you is as caughtup in the holiday spirit as you are.Some of your fellow shoppers mayactually be identity thieves lookingto parlay the seasons hustle andbustle into an opportunity tosteal your personal informationand, ultimately, your money.The Federal Trade Commission(FTC) reported that identity theft

- the unauthorized use of yourpersonal identifying information,like your name, Social Securitynumber or credit card number, tocommit fraud or other crimes - isapproaching 10 million incidentsper year.

According to the FTC, onaverage, it takes a victim anestimated $500 and 30 hours toresolve each incidence of identitytheft. No one wants to lose thatkind of money at any time of year,but those time and monetary costscan be even more stressful during

the holidays.The holidays present a wealth

of opportunity for identity thieves,says Heather Battison, TransUnionssenior director responsible forconsumer education. The hecticholiday season can potentiallyexpose our personal informationto theft in both high-tech ways likephishing scams, and in traditionalones, such as a stolen wallet ormail theft.

Fortunately, there are proactivesteps you can take now, that willhelp minimize your exposure toidentity theft. While these tips

from TransUnion are useful yearround, theyre especially importantduring the holiday season:

When holiday shopping, only

carry essential documents

with you.Only take your drivers licenseand the credit card or cards youintend to use that day. Do notcarry your Social Security card,birth certificate or passport,

and consider leaving at homeother types of cards that mayhave identifying information on

them, like wholesale club cards orlibrary cards.

The holidays mean plenty of

extra trash.Shred everything that containspersonal, identifying information

before throwing it out.

Keep a close eye on your credit

card bills.This is especially importantduring the holidays, when closeattention can help you catch anycharges you dont recognize on

your statement. An added bonus -youll also be more aware of howmuch youre spending and bebetter prepared to stay within your

holiday spending budget.

Monitor your credit.

Consider enrolling in a credit

monitoring service that will alert you via email to changes in yourcredit report. This way you willknow quickly if someone else hastried to open a new credit accountin your name.

When shopping online, only

do business with websites that

have security measures in placeto protect you.

Before you provide any personal

or payment information, loofor a URL that begins with http(not http) and a lock embleon the page, typically next to thaddress bar.

Preventing identity theft iimportant year round, anespecially during the holidays. Btaking steps to protect yourself

you can help ensure your holidayremain bright - and secure.

IDENTITYTHEFT

prevention tips forthe holiday season

Before you surf the Net on Cyber Monday,

consider changing your account passwords and

keep a list of them in a secure place.Passwordsand PIN numbers should be a random mix of

letters, numbers and special characters, which

makes it harder for identity thieves to guess.

J

ody Rhineer has always beenfascinated by vintage clothes.

Vintage fashions capture thespirit of the 70s, an era when hotpants, high-heeled platform shoes

and mini, midi and maxi hemlines were instyle. Glamorous halter necklines and exoticprint dresses were the rage. It was the periodof rock and roll and disco dancing as peopleof all ages got into the groove and moved tothe beat of Van Halens Dance the NightAway, Led Zeppelins Rock and Roll anddozens of others.

You can recapture (discover anew) thisfeeling at Uncle Funkys Thrift Shop, which

preserves the memory of the decade formodern retro fashion shoppers. I love the70s look and decided to visit Uncle Funkys

Shop on Main Street in Ephrata for justbrowsing, Rhineer says.

Rhineer, 48 and a resident of Leola,found just what she was looking for. Aftershe tried on a stunning vintage 70s gown,Nancy Thompson, shop owner, suggested amatching hat, earrings, bracelets, necklaces,gloves, handbag and a pair of sexy shoes.

Within 20 minutes Rhineer had the look shewas searching for.

Thompson, 53, fell in love with antiquesand retro clothing when she was 15 yearsold. She gradually developed a sense for

what works and what doesnt and openedantique and clothing shops in many places.

Thompson opened this shop in Ephrata twoyears ago.

I had to consider the recession and

added some new fashions and fadsto my stock. I can indulge something foreveryones taste, there is no shop likemine for at least a 50 mile radius, she

says.Thompson was always self-employed

and dressed everyone from modelsand disco dancers to prom-goers and

wedding parties. Her suggestions makethe customer look retro-stylish but notdated. She gives as much attention tothe buyer on a budget as she does afree-spending customer.

Thompson can spot what works forbrowsing customers the moment they

walk in the door.Models from New York City come down

here to be tted and accessorized, she

says. I have put together outts foractors and other performers. As aformer dancer, I am familiar withwhat works in period costuming.

The shop has an enormousinventory from sports clothesand jump suits to weddingdresses. Walls of handbags,hats, veils, shoes, coats and fursreveal eccentric and elegantstyles. Among this collection arefunky household furnishings anddecorated suitcases. All express apassion for the past.

Thompson doesnt acceptconsignment arrangements. Shecarefully examines every itembefore she buys it.

My customers range from teens

and boomers of my generation, to

seniors, she says. The clothes areaffordable and if someone is inneed, I am there to put togetherclothes that t their style andpocketbook.

Debbie Huegel, lives inConestoga and likes to browsein thrift shops and consignmentstores. I nd it hard to get a sizetwo dress, but when I poppedinto Uncle Funkys I was dazzled,couldnt believe it. It was a shoplike no other with anything andeverything. Nancy watched mepicking out clothes and sized meup immediately as a woman who

favors black and white clothing.The artist in Nancy was instantly

awakened, she reached for a red

and gold skinny print halter dressoff the rack and said, try this on,it would look better with your skincolor and you can dress it up ordown.

At rst sight Huegel hated thedress but agreed to give it a try itand couldnt believe how terricshe looked. She suggested that Ipull my hair back and accessorizedthe outt with a necklace, earringsand shoes. I wound up withsomething I never would havethought of.

Huegels daughter Tanya alsofound something she had to have.She bought a pair of 70s red velvet,knee high boots that are not onlyretro but trendy.

Theres something for everyone.

Like most grandparents LoriJo

and Kent Peters dote on theirgrandchildren. The Mastersonville

couple show their love in many ways

they have family photos taken,

purchase the childrens holiday

clothing, and LoriJo babysits them

several days a week. Theyve also

done something very special

theyve written and illustrated a

book for each grandchilds rst

birthday.

LoriJo and Kent are the parents

of six children including the lateCollin Mast Peters. When Collin

died four years ago that made me

think about how precious life is,LoriJo says.

She also wants her grandchildren

to have something special to

remember her, something that

can become a family heirloom.

My mother-in-law, Leona Peters,

made baby quilts for each of her

grandchildren. Thats really neat,

but although I do sew a bit, quilts

are her thing. I love to write, so

I decided to create books, she

explains.The books are collaboration

between both LoriJo and Kent.

She writes the story, and he

does the illustrations. Writinga childrens picture book may

seem to be really difcult, but

anyone can do it everyone tells

their children and grandchildren

stories. The story in the book

doesnt have to be elaborate it

could be a childhood memory,

something youd like to share with

your grandchild, she stresses.

Each grandchilds book is

tailored to him or her, and bothbooks show the Christian beliefs

of the family. The Peters have

two grandchildren Thane

Alexander Herr, who will be three

in December, and Zaden JariusHerr, who is 16 months old. Their

mom, LoriJo and Kents daughter,

Noelle, is expecting a third child

in April.

Thanes book is entitled Little

Thane Alex-gator and tells the

story of an alligator who wants to be

a big boy and do big boy things, but

his mom says hes too little. When

we told our daughter, Lauren, who

was then seven years-old, Thanesname, she misunderstood and

thought we said alligator instead

of Alexander. From that time on

we started buying things for Thane

that had alligators includinclothes, sheets and plush toys,

LoriJo says.

Zadens book is entitled Jarius

the Special Giraffe, and the stor

is about a giraffe who doesn

think hes special and wants to be

special like all the other animals

he thinks that zebras are special

since they can run fast and have

really cool stripes. In the end, he

realizes that he is special just theway he is.

Both books have a different look.

LoriJo Peters reads Little Thane Alex-gator to her grandsons, Zaden (let) and Thane (right).

seem to be really difcult, but anyone can

LoriJo is an avid scrapbooker;shes created numerousscrapbooks and even has acarefully arranged scrapbookingroom. She says that Thanes bookhas more of a scrapbook feel

with a variety of backgrounds onthe pages, while Zadens book is

more of a traditional storybook.Artwork in both books may lookelaborate, but LoriJo confessesthat Kent used stickers to createmost of it.

Although both books have aspecial front cover, Zadens bookhas his picture on the back cover.I wish I had thought to do thatfor Thanes book, LoriJo says.

The cover also has LoriJo andKents names as the authors,

but its hand-printed. We feltit was important to have thepersonalization, she says.

LoriJo is not grandma,shes Sho-Sho, while Kent isPappy.

Being a mom is awesome, butbeing Sho-Sho blows that outof the water theres no otherSho-Sho in the world. LoriJosays.

As for specications on thebooks: theyre 8 1/2-inches x11-inches, which is not only astandard size sheet of paper,but its also a standard size forscrapbooking. Each book hasa hard-cover, and pages areof thicker paper stock. Thehardcover and thick paper areimportant to me I want thesebooks to be something that willbe passed on. I imagine my great-

grandchildren reading from thebooks, she said.

Only two copies of the books were printed by local printer,Executive Printing. LoriJo hasone, and Noelle has the other.They both read the books tothe children, and then theyreput back on a shelf until thenext reading. LoriJo says thatthe printing cost was $75. She

urges other grandparents orparents who may be interested increating a book for their childrenor grandchildren to talk with alocal printer. If cost is an issue,especially if you have severalgrandchildren, it could be doneless expensively by creating aspiral bound book or by using adifferent paper stock.

The important thing is thebook, LoriJo says. Books are

special theyre timeless.

Jana

T

he 59-year-old Fillinghas owned and operatedDancers Edge for nearlythree decades. For most

of that time, her studiohas been located at Village Plazain Millersville.

Under Fillings tutelage, approximately70 dancers, from 3-year-olds to adults,learn the fundamentals and ner pointsof ballet, jazz, tap and modern dance. Shealso teaches a yoga class for adults.

For Filling, known to her youngcharges as Miss Jana, the best part of herday is when she gets her dance mode on

and comes into studio in the afternoonsto teach.Its like a dance vacation for me,

says Filling.Her dancers study the different dance

forms in all her classes. Filling thriveson turning out multifaceted, expressivedancers who are both skilled in techniqueand passionate about their art.

With humor and kindness, she seeks toinspire them with the beauty and graceof dance, in which they use the only tool

that they have all their life that they cantput down.

Personally, I believe that when I dance,I am complete, because I am using mindand body and spirit, which was our gift,Filling says. So its kind of like heaven onearth.

Her dancers motto is to let yourinner beauty shine. I have girls thathave put it in their wedding vows,she notes.

Many have furthered their studiesin dance and have become teachersthemselves. One former student told

her, When I am teaching, I hearyour voice.

Filling uses colorful everyday imagesto introduce the youngsters to dance

concepts and techniques. For instance,their feet might be paintbrushes, paintingthe oor. Theyll skip through a pumpkinpatch or become falling leaves. Or theyllmake apjacks: Hold that foot up, putit on the griddle. Keep it there, cook itand then pull it right back. Dont burn

your apjack!Her students present theatrical dance

productions twice a year: a Winter Wonderland before Christmas and

another in May. This years Swan Pondwas part of Millersville Boroughs 250thanniversary celebration.

Swan Pond, a student favorite, isa whimsical tale inspired by Fillingschildhood treks through the woods nearher Lancaster home. Ever the storyteller,she hopes to turn Swan Pond intoa childrens book along with anothertale, The Secret Life of Reindeer,

which will be woven into this yearswinter production.

In the works now is a dance sequel toSwan Pond, titled The Nightly Ballet,

which involves ritual, myth and rite ofpassage for the young swans.

Surprisingly, Filling has yet to see thedance-thriller Black Swan. I haventbeen to a movie in 15 years, she states. Ihave no time.

She owes that to the demands ofrunning her studio, which includesa dancers boutique and a large

inventory of costumes that she rents toher dancers.In recent years, she also has experienced

lives to dance anddances to live. For her,there is no distinction.

ersonal obstacles and tragedy. Shes now in the midst of a divorce, after20-year marriage. And three yearsgo, her son died at age 39 after anllness, leaving an unimaginableoid in her life. An accountant by

raining and an advocate for theentally challenged, he had been

n immense help in running herusiness. She has established theean T. Riedel Memorial Fund toid young dancers.

I can now, three years later, startelebrating his life and honoringim, she says, her voice wavering.It wasnt the rst time Filling had

aced adversity. Having had a childt a young age and a brief rst

arriage, Filling turned to dance

to rehabilitate herself physicallyafter she had contracted a near-fatal case of blood poisoning,caused when she fell and cut herelbow on piece of tin. A few yearsearlier, she cut her foot severely

on a piece of glass and was unableto participate in the rst sportshe excelled at gymnastics. As a

young high-ying gymnast, shehad competed statewide.

After these setbacks, I startedtaking dance, and it was my loveand my passion, she recalls.

She took as many classes as shecould while working different jobsand taking care of her young son.Without my mother, I couldnt

have done it, she says.

After studying at the formerLancaster Institute of Fine Arts andDancers Workshop, she ended upat Movement Laboratories, locatedthen at Lancaster Country DaySchool. She also did sacred dance.

And she got involved in musicaltheater, performing as Rose in

Cabaret at the Fulton. But shedecided that theater was notfor her.

I just wanted to quiet my dancedown and do more choreographymyself, she says, becausethats where my heart lies, inchoreographing and directing.

To her surprise, she was asked toteach at Movement Laboratories.

Although nervous, she took to it

naturally. I loved it. My creative juices just started owing. Afterve years, she struck out on

her own.Eventually, she plans to downsize

her studio and focus more onthe serious student. Retirementhowever, is not yet in the plan. Budance always will be.

I ate too much turkey,

I ate too much corn,

I ate too much pudding and pie,

Im stuffed up with muffins

and much too much stuffin,Im probably going to die.

I piled up my plate

and I ate and I ate,

but I wish I had known when to stop,

for Im so crammed with yams,

sauces, gravies, and jams

that my buttons are starting to pop.

Im full of tomatoes

and french fried potatoes,

my stomach is swollen and sore,

but theres still some dessert,

so I guess it wont hurt

if I eat just a little bit more.

Twas the night before Christmas when allthrough the store; Parents seek the hottest

toy, while sales clerks shout, No more!Few holiday seasons have come and

gone without a must-have toy causingpandemonium among shoppers. In themonths leading up to Christmas, one toyalways seems to grab kids attention andbecome a must-have item. These couldbe quirky digital-voiced animals or videogame consoles.

Naturally, children put these giftson their letters to Santa or wish

lists. But as the days wind downto Christmas, manufacturersoften cannot meet thedemand for the seasonsmost popular item. Itsthen left to parents to find thetoys and gadgets by whatevermeans necessary.

Certain toys throughouthistory have caused a frenzythat results in desperate parentsscouring wiped-out toy stores or

making black-market deals to landthemselves a hot toy. Here is a list ofthem, courtesy of MSNBC.

Shirley Temple Doll (1934):Shirley Temple was the inspirationbehind the first recorded toy to cause ashopping frenzy. The demand for the dollelevated after the actress breakout film,Bright Eyes, was released three daysbefore Christmas.

G.I. Joe (1964): Hasbro came up with

the male action figure after watching Barbiedolls become such a popular toy for tots. Theaction figures were an instant hit, garnering

over $16 million in 1964 alone.Star Wars Action Figures (1977): No

one expected George Lucas franchise tobecome such a smash hit. The merchandisingcompany associated with the project didnthave time to make associated toys beyond afew board games and coloring books onceStar Wars fever took hold. Therefore, EarlyBird Certificate vouchers were sold and theaction figures were shipped out a few monthslater. These action figures can still thrill, witheBay auctions bringing in $1,200 and up for

figures that once retailed for just

a few dollars. Cabbage Patch Kids(1983): What little girl inthe mid-1980s didnt want

a chubby-faced CabbagePatch Kid to adopt as her

very own? The demand for thisfad doll became so heated thatadults fought over them andprice gouging ensued.

Teddy Ruxpin (1985): Ifkids werent seeking a Cabbage

Patch doll, they may have beenhoping to find a Teddy Ruxpin dollunder their tree. Teddy Ruxpin wasan animatronic bear who interacted

with the child and told stories. It wasbased on the animated figures kids would seeat theme parks or at their local play areas.Shortages around the holidays played intofrenzied behavior. The doll was expensive forits day, coming in at around $68.

Tickle Me Elmo (1996): Sesame Street

fans fell right into the hype offered by TycoToys and Childrens Television Workshop.Stampedes occurred in toy stores, people

were injured and reports of extreme pricegouging ensued, all in an effort for people toget their hands on the giggling, red furball.

Furby (1998):This creature reminiscent ofthe popular 1980s film Gremlins came outof the box speaking its own language andslowly learned English over time. Theanimated pet/friend became the must-have toy of the year, but productionnumbers were scant in comparisonto demand.

Nintendo Wii (2006): Videogame aficionados were wowed by themotion-sensing game controllersof this new system. Thishelped push the Wii to thetop spot for video gameconsoles for that yearand created a demandthat led to limits on unitspurchased, diminished

inventory, and even vouchers or wrist bands being offered by storesto get your hands on the Wii.

When one thinks ofthe making of wine,one hears French-or Italian-accented

oundtracks accompanying images

f happy folks picking grapes.Or maybe they fathom some

rand estate in Californias Napaalley, presided over by a vintnerho opens his or her vineyards toappy oenophile tourists.Chances are beakers, chemical

amples and clinical studies dontome into the picture. Or forkliftsnd oversize plastic tanks. But atancaster Countys Tamanend

inery, its all part of the process.here is a science to making wine, acience thats every bit as importants the romantic side to the fruit ofhe vine.And Linda Jones McKee is proud

o point that out.We are a different kind of

inery, says McKee, who co- wns Tamanend with her anc,Richard Carey.

Indeed. That starts with the name.

amanend is named in honor of theelaware Indian Chief who signedtreaty with William Penn for land

hat became Pennsylvania. And itsot housed in a huge manor, but

n a former 7-Up bottling plant onlory Mill Road.No matter. What comes from

here still graces your get-togethersith aplomb. And Tamanendas tasting rooms where you can

ample the goods.Make that lots of goods.amanend is small in size, butrolic in output. Some 16 winesre afliated with the Tamanendabel, with offerings ranging fromry whites to specialty wines such asNO Margaritas. Yes, you read thatorrectly; blue agave from Mexicos fermented to make a boxed

argarita wine Like No Other,hich is what the label (LNO)

tands for.In between are such favorites

s Moonstone, a dry chardonnay

with a hint of Granny Smith apple,Velvet Ruby, a dry red that makesfor an easy introduction to red

wines and seasonal selections suchas Pumpkin Spice and HolidayCranberry Snow, which McKee calls

Cranapple with a kick.There are bottled wines and bag

in a box varieties. We tend to doour sweeter wines in bag in a box,McKee notes. They are great; youdont have to drink it all after you

open it. Because boxed winescan last six to eight weeks, you

wouldnt want to put a dry red in a[box], states McKee.

Its a far cry from Tamanendshumble origins.

We started making wine in thethird bay of our garage, McKeerecalls of Tamanends early daysin Manheim Township, wherelocal regulations did not allow

McKee and Carey to display a signadvertising the reds they weremaking at the time.

Carey was also a wine consultant,so we started looking for anotherfacility, where his consultationcustomers could come to him,McKee says.

Thats where Tamanendsscientic side comes in. The wineryis also home to the Vitis Wine Center,the production site for Tamanend(as well as Torosa, a wine whichTamanend produces and bottles);

it also serves as a service center fothe wine production industry.

There, barrels give way tothose beakers, where such testsbearing such names as titratable

acidity and haze and sedimenidentication panels are carriedout in a pristine setting. The settinis not surprising, considering CareCalifornia background.

His degree is in planphysiology, McKee says. If thehad leftover fruits, he started takin

various kinds of fruits anfermenting them.

But lets vault forward to todays

Tamanend, where science evengures into the barrels that hold the wine. They are not the traditionaloak kind, but plastic.

Plastic? Yes, explains McKee.They are more easily cleaned andmaintained than their woodencounterparts. Nevertheless, theare just as imposing, standing ovethe forklifts that scurry throughouthe winerys main oor.

It does all sound more industrial

than elegant, given winemakingspopular image. [Theres] a visionof it being very romantic, and opeople standing around tasting,McKee sums up. Its a lot morecomplicated than that.

Still, the pride McKee and Caretake in crafting Tamanend is just asintense as that of any vintner onsunny Tuscan hillside. And theilongtime dream to showcase the

fruits of the Garden Spot isnt over.You just never know, McKeesays, what were going to do next.

As the granddaughter o amed

flm producer Dino De Laurentiis,

Giada knows just what a movie

afcionado wants. She suggests

choosing a colorul popcorn bowl

and adding a bag o gourmet

popcorn kernels, an herb-inused

olive oil, a avorite light-bodied

white wine like Pinot Grigio, and a

classic movie on DVD. Giving thegit o a movie night is the perect

touch or cinema enthusiasts, De

Laurentiis says. Plus, the inused

olive oil gives the popcorn a special

gourmet air without breaking

the bank.

F h avl nhia

A travel-themed git basket is a

great match or any jetsetter, and

De Laurentiis enjoys spicing this

one up with a little Italian are. In

a canvas tote bag, pop in a popular

travel book, a portable clock, a

pocket translator and a batch

o your avorite biscotti. I sprinkle

green and red sugar crystals on top

o my holiday biscotti or a estive

garnish, De Laurentiis says. Also,

this kind o Italian cookie pairs

nicely with a crisp, ruity Italian

wine like Bella Sera Moscato.

F h pian

A cookbook is a classic choice

to give your avorite oodie, so whynot spruce it up Giada-style? I like

to include a fnished product o

one o the recipes so the recipient

can get a avor o whats inside,

she says. Pair those with a avorite

bottle o wine You cant go

wrong with a smooth Bella Sera

Pinot Noir, De Laurentiis says.

Place everything in a decorative

wicker basket with a colorul

ribbon, and your epicurean git is

cooked to perection.

F h d advni

A portable butane camping

stove is a must-have or every

outdoor enthusiast. Accompany

it with cooking utensils, a sturdy

skillet, a batch o homemade

Italian at bread and a versatile

red wine like Merlot, and youve

created the ultimate camping

cookout git. A cooking kit is

perect or your ourdoorsy riendsor relatives because it contains

practical items they can use or

many o their excursions, De

Laurentiis says. When it comes to

baking at bread, De Laurentiis

suggests brushing the dough with

extra-virgin olive oil to get a crispy,

shiny crust.

F h mani

Whether youre giting a

hopelessly romantic riend or a

newlywed couple, De Laurentiis

suggests giving the git o love

with a stylish container ull

o reshly baked chocolate

desserts. Along with it, she

adds a pair o wine glasses

and a bottle o dry, light-

bodied red wine, such as

Chianti. With a delicious

dessert and the zesty touch

o Chianti, this git idea is

the perect combination o

sweet and spicy romance,De Laurentiis says.

F h hlida gahing

h/h

A bottle o wine is always a

thoughtul hostess git and

appreciated at holiday get-

togethers. ... bring bottles

o both red and white to a

holiday party, De Laurentiis

suggests. That way everyone

can choose their avorite and

truly get in the holiday spirit.

W

orried about git-giving this year? Dont stress. With a dash

o creativity and a sprinkle o detail, its easy to whip upthe perect present with the right personal

touch, says Emmy award-winning che and cookbookauthor, Giada De Laurentiis.

I love to add a homemade element, whetherits a reshly baked dessert or custom wrapping,

because it makes the git that much more

unique and personal, De Laurentiis says.I also fnd that pairing a present with a

avorite bottle o wine adds a delicious and

elegant touch.
