By Ronald ScagliaOne holiday tradition is to select a tree

to bring home and decorate. Experts fromlocal nurseries have offered some adviceon how to select a tree and how to main-tain it through the holiday season.According to Fred Falconer, owner of

Falconer Florists in Port Washington, thereare three main types of holiday trees avail-able in this area – Balsam Fir, Fraser Firand Canaan Fir. He said that these trees arepopular in Northeast homes, as holidaytrees tend to have been grown relativelyclose or the shipping costs would raise theprices too high for many. Falconer said theholiday trees in this area come from Cana-da, Maine, Vermont, upstate New York,Connecticut, New Jersey, Pennsylvaniaand even the Carolinas. This year, the treesfor sale in his nursery were grown in Con-necticut. Because of the shipping costs, hesaid it is unlikely to see a tree from Ore-gon in a Long Island home, even thoughthe Pacific Northwest is renowned for itsevergreen trees.Falconer said that the balsam fir is the

traditional holiday tree. He estimated theprice of a balsam fir that is about five tosix feet in height, to be between 35 to 50dollars. This would make this type lessexpensive than Fraser firs, which he saysare becoming the most popular choice forholiday trees. Falconer also said that bal-sam firs tend to be more fragrant than oth-er types of trees, so this tree will give yourhome an authentic holiday feel.“This is your old-time, old-fashioned,

traditional Christmas tree,” said Falconer.However, one drawback is needle reten-

tion. Falconer said that balsam firs shedneedles fairly quickly.Alison Caldwell, a buyer with Hicks

Nurseries in Westbury, agrees with Fal-

coner that balsams do not have good nee-dle retention and said that consumers whopurchase balsam firs tend to do so becausethese are the trees they had as childrenand they want to continue that tradition.She also said that some consumers preferthe softer feel that balsam firs have ascompared to other trees and that price isanother consideration as balsams areslightly more affordable than Fraser firs.Fraser firs have replaced balsam firs as

the most popular tree being sold in this re-gion for the holidays, according to Fal-coner. He said that Fraser firs are popularbecause they do not drop their needles aseasily as other trees and tend to lastlonger, so they will retain a quality lookthroughout the holiday season. He de-scribed Fraser firs as having nice greencolor with a tinge of silver to them“I’ve taken Fraser firs out of the house

after Christmas that haven’t dropped a

needle,” said Falconer. “It’s really a topquality tree.”Caldwell concurs that Fraser firs are

now the most popular trees sold. She saidthat in addition to retaining needleslonger, Fraser firs are stronger so they arebetter able to hold heavier ornaments.“A Fraser fir does better with heavier or-

naments because the branches are morerigid and give more support,” said Caldwell.

The Christmas tree is always the center of attention, whatever kind of tree you select and decorate.

A Gift Basket MayBe the Perfect SolutionBy Ronald ScagliaIs there someone on

your holiday list that youjust can’t decide on agift for? A gift basketmay be your solution.Gift baskets can be madeup of a wide assortmentof products, with foodbeing a popular choice.Sweets, pastas, sauces,coffees, fruits and good-ies can all be part of anice package so there aremany options to pleaseeven the most difficultindividuals on yourshopping list.“I feel it’s a great val-

ue because it’s some-thing you use, consumeand enjoy,” Joe Iavarone,President of IavaroneBros., said when speak-ing of food gift basketsas holiday gifts.Iavarone Bros offers food baskets start-

ing at about $40. One of their more popu-lar choices is The Christmas Basket whichcosts $75 and includes imported bread-sticks, imported pasta, extra virgin oliveoil, balsamic vinegar, tomato sauce, im-ported panettone and chocolate. Anotherpopular selection is the Sweet ChristmasBasket. This basket costs $100 and in-cludes candies to indulge those who havea really sweet tooth. For those who prefersomething besides wicker, the PastaLovers Bowl is a stainless steel colanderfilled with sauces, imported pastas andItalian breadsticks. This makes a nice hol-iday present, especially for someone witha new kitchen. There is also a basket de-signed in the shape of a sleigh, and

Iavarone Bros. will even custom make giftbaskets ranging in price from $50 and up.However, due to demand custom ordersare not taken close to Christmas, so it isbest to place your custom orders early.“It’s one of the best last minute gift

ideas for the person you don’t know whatto get for,” said Iavarone. “Some peoplebuy three or four and know they will givethem to someone.”Iavarone suggests that gift baskets

could make great holiday presents formail carriers and garbage collectors. Healso said that they make good presents forthose in other parts of the country.“We ship it to snowbirds in Florida,”

said Iavarone. “A lot of these items youcan’t find down there.”

Iavarone added that ship-ping is usually affordablewhen sent by ground. How-ever, overnight delivery willmake the expenses increase.Iavarone also suggested

gift baskets for bosses. Ac-cording to him, there is atrend away from givingliquor as a present.“People are getting away

from liquor,” said Iavarone.“Gift baskets are morehealthful and in some casesmore appropriate. It’s amuch more personal giftthan just wrapping up abottle of liquor.”For more information,

Holiday Parties

Jewelry can be a great holiday gift toreceive, but for many, buying jewelry togive is intimidating. For anyone facingthese questions, this guide is for you.

MaterialsTo make sure you buy a quality piece

that will last, you need to know aboutwhat jewelry is made of. The three mostcommon metals used include:• Gold. When you see the word “gold”

by itself on a piece, it means all gold, or 24-karat gold. Twenty-four-karat gold is soft,so it’s usually mixed with other metals tomake it more durable. Fourteen-karat jewel-ry contains 14 parts gold mixed with 10parts of a base metal. The higher the karatrating, the higher the proportion of gold.• Sterling silver. This term describes a

piece that contains 92.5 percent silver.Sometimes they are marked “925,” whichmeans 925 parts per thousand are pure sil-ver. “Coin silver” is used for compoundsthat contain 90 percent silver.• Platinum. Platinum is a natural, white-

colored, precious metal that is often de-scribed as being strong, durable and cor-rosion resistant. It’s usually mixed withother similar metals, such as iridium, pal-ladium, ruthenium, rhodium and osmium.

Selecting the Perfect PieceThere are many gems and metals to

pick from; let the recipient’s personalstyle and preferences guide you when pur-chasing jewelry as a gift. For example,does he only wear gold jewelry? Or doeshe prefer only silver? Is most of her jew-elry made up of small, understated pieces,or bigger, bolder pieces?

Choosing NecklacesHow do you choose the necklace to

buy? First, you need to know the differentlengths:• 16 inches — choker length• 18 inches — at collarbone

• 20 inches — a few inches below col-larbone• 22 inches — at or above neckline• 24 inches — below neckline• 28 inches — around the bustling

RingsGetting the ring-fit right can be tricky.

To make choosing easier, use a ring-sizingchart. Take a ring that fits and place it overthe nearest-sized circle. The inner edge ofthe ring should align with the outer edgeof the circle. If the ring appears to fit be-tween two sizes, buy the larger size.

EarringsEarrings for women should balance the

shape of the face.• Oval faces – Almost any earring style

will work, especially hoops and triangles.• Round faces – Longer earrings with

oblong or straight styles are great. Avoidround and chunky earrings that sit on theear lobe.• Square faces – Hoops, ovals and small

earrings work best. Avoid short andchunky earrings because they can makethe face look wider.

Protecting Your Purchase• Know exactly what you’re purchasing,

and get all estimates of gem quality andtreatments in writing.• Be sure to ask about your jeweler’s re-

turn policy before purchasing. If shoppingonline, buy only from reputable and re-searched sources.• Losing valuable jewelry is always dis-

appointing, but if the piece was a gift itlikely had emotional value as well, whichcan make it heartbreaking to lose. Planahead to preserve your precious memoriesby having valuable gifts appraised and in-sured by a company that specializes injewelry insurance, such as Jewelers Mutu-al Insurance Company.

On Dec. 10, vendors in Port Washing-ton will once again be participating in aspecial event called Port Holiday Magic.There will be many fun-filled activitiesgiving shoppers a chance to shop locallyand turn what can be a stressful holidaychore into a festive fun-filled day andevening.“Our goal is to get the community to

shop locally and the only way to do this isto create a special community experi-ence,” said Mindy Germain, executive di-rector of Residents for a More BeautifulPort Washington.Organizers of the event are hoping that

shoppers will be drawn to the festive at-mosphere filled with enjoyable activitiesas opposed to the crowded, stress-filledsituations that holiday shopping can bring.Germain said there would be performanc-es by the Louise Benes Dance Company.Choirs from the Reconstructionist Syna-gogue of the North Shore, Schreiber HighSchool and St. Peter’s School will alsoperform. And, of course, a jolly man in ared suit will be taking the day off from hiswork at the North Pole to share the excite-ment of Port Holiday Magic.“It is the magical experience that every-

body wants,” said Germain.In addition, vendors will be providing

their own attractions, giving it the term“shoppertainment.” There will be offeringsof cheese, wine, hot chocolate, otherrestaurant offerings, dining specials, dis-counts on clothing, raffles, a scavengerhunt through the different stores and muchmore. Dvora Troshane, director, artist andteacher at Peace Love Art Studio said that15 percent of sales in her studio would goto support music and art programs in PortWashington. In addition there is a Chil-

dren’s Book Sale (in collaboration withThe Dolphin Book Shop) in which pro-ceeds from books bought at Peace LoveArt will go to Reading Dream (providingbooks to underprivileged schools). The stu-dio will also be offering free face painting.“It’s a wonderful thing and a wonderful

way to bring the community together,”said Troshane. “It’s warmth, holiday spir-it, togetherness, and being part of a com-munity.”This year, the event has been expanded

and now includes Main Street, part of PortWashington Boulevard, Soundview Mar-ket Place and the Shop N Stop shoppingcenter. There will be two trolleys to usher

shoppers around the activities, helping toprovide an extra bit of charm to the event.“You leave your car in a parking lot and

take a trolley right to the stores,” said RoySmitheimer, executive director of the PortWashington Business Improvement Dis-trict (BID).Smitheimer said the night is a collabo-

ration of three groups coming together topresent the special evening. The GreaterPort Washington BID, the Port Washing-ton Chamber of Commerce and Residentsfor a More Beautiful Port Washington arecombining their efforts to present the spe-cial holiday event with major supportfrom the Town of North Hempstead.

“We’re providing the fun factor to makethis a worthwhile experience for all thosewho come to shop in our town,” saidSmitheimer.The event will be held from 10 a.m. un-

til 8 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 10. However,while the vendors will be offering theirspecials throughout the day, the entertain-ment will be focused in the afternoon andevening hours.“You get to know everything Port

Washington has to offer and have a greattime,” said Bobbie Polay, Executive Di-rector of the Port Washington Chamber ofCommerce. “You can get a lot of holidayshopping done and be entertained.”

Increase ExpectedIn Spending onElectronics andGifts Overall

Consumer spending on electronic giftsthis holiday will reach an all-time high, ac-cording to new research released from theConsumer Electronics Association (CEA).CEA’s 18th Annual CE Holiday PurchasePatterns Study shows that overall spendingthis holiday will increase as well.Consumer electronics are once again

among the most desired gifts this holidayseason and will account for one-third ofall holiday gift spending, according to thestudy which found that consumers plan tospend on average $246 on electronicsgifts, an increase of 6 percent from lastyear and the highest level since CEA be-gan tracking holiday spending. Overallgift spending will also increase. The studyconcluded that consumers plan to spendon average $769 on gifts this year, 3 per-cent higher than last year. CEA expectsholiday retail sales to increase 2.5 percentthis year.“Consumer electronics continue to play

a leading role in holiday shopping, withconsumer tech clearly being a go-to cate-gory for holiday gift spending,” saidShawn DuBravac, CEA’s chief economistand director of research. “After months ofdepressed consumer confidence, individu-als are indicating they plan to spend thisholiday and are looking for technology,as more adults will buy consumer elec-tronics as a gift this year as compared tolast year.”

The study predicts that computing prod-ucts will lead the way this holiday season.Tablet computers trail only clothes as themost wanted gifts overall. Notebook com-puters are also high on the list, along withpeace, happiness and money. When itcomes to electronics, behind tablets andlaptops, TVs (any type), e-readers andvideo game consoles are the most wantedconsumer electronics gifts.Electronics accessories and gift cards

will also be popular gifts this holiday.Four out of five adults plan to give a giftcard this year, up 5 percent from last year,

many of them for digital content and serv-ices. One in four consumers plans to givea gift card that can be used for digital mu-sic purchases, one in five for electronicbook purchases and 16 percent for apppurchases.“It is going to be a computing holiday

season, with tablets looking to be the run-away success story,” said DuBravac.“New, innovative product categories liketablets and e-readers, combined with con-sistent favorites like notebook computers,video game consoles and televisions, willmake this a digital holiday season. But the

economic landscape will have consumerssearching for value, hunting for thesetechnologies at attractive prices.”Price will be the most important factor

as consumers decide where to buy theirconsumer electronics gifts. The ease ofmaking a purchase and return policies arealso important purchasing factors. Two-thirds of consumers will compare theprice for electronics online before makinga purchase. However, consumers are morelikely to buy consumer electronics gifts atmass merchants and electronics storesthan online or at warehouse clubs.

Study Projecting a ‘Digital Holiday Season’Consumer electronics,including iPads, laptops andTVs are among the most popularholiday gifts according to theConsumer Electronics Association.

However, Falconer said that Fraser firscost more than balsam firs. He estimatedthe cost of a five to six foot Fraser fir tobe between 45 and 60 dollars.He said a third type of tree, the Canaan

fir, has become more popular in theNortheast over the past two to three years.According to Falconer. The Canaan fir isfar more disease resistant than balsam firsand is therefore becoming more popularwith farmers.“It looks a lot like

the balsams but withbetter needle reten-tion,” said Falconer ofCanaan firs.He estimated the

price of a five to sixfoot Canaan fir to beanywhere from 35 to60 dollars.Caldwell said that

some individuals arepurchasing live treesand then plantingthose trees outsidetheir homes. For newhomeowners this isespecially appealing,as the first holiday tree then becomes partof the yard. However, Falconer cautionsthat it can be quite difficult to get a tree totransition back outdoors after being insidefor about a month. If attempting to do so,Caldwell suggests digging a hole now,while the ground is not frozen and fillingit with leaves or straw to insulate theground and then filling a wheelbarrowwith the soil dug from the hole and keep-ing it in the garage to prevent the soilfrom freezing. When ready to move thetree back outside, temper the move by

first keeping the tree in a garage or Flori-da room to help your tree adjust to thecolder temperatures. If the ground is notfrozen, you can move the tree after a fewdays and use the soil that has been keptwarm in your garage but be sure to keepthe tree watered after making the move.After bringing your cut tree home, there

are several steps that can be taken to pre-serve it through the holidays. Both Fal-coner and Caldwell said that the first of

these is to give it afresh cut on the bot-tom before bringingit inside.“It’s like cutting

your finger – it scabsover,” said Falconerof the original cut ona tree. “Cut it oncemore to open it upand allow the waterto better get in.”Falconer also rec-

ommends getting agood quality standthat holds plenty ofwater and then mak-ing sure that the standis filled each day. He

also recommends using a chemical preser-vative. Some choose to give the tree as-pirin, but Falconer feels that chemicalpreservatives work better.Before bringing your tree inside, Cald-

well suggests keeping your tree outside ofyour home for a day and directly in waterto help the tree soak up as much waterwhile outside as possible. Additionally,Caldwell suggests keeping the tree awayfrom heat sources that will dry the treeout. If possible, she suggests keeping yourtree in a Florida room.

By Ronald ScagliaThe holidays are a season filled with joy

and happiness and our pets can be a bigpart of the fun. However, some holiday tra-ditions can also be quite dangerous to ourfurry friends. Sylvia Ottaka, Senior Direc-tor of Operations at the North Shore Ani-mal League America says that pet parentsshould take precautions to protect our petsfrom the dangers of the holiday season.“The holiday season is really a fun time

of year, however, a lot of times peopledon’t look at the dangers,” said Ottakawho advises pet owners to be aware of thefollowing holiday items, which can be ahazard for pets.

attract a curious cat or a playful puppy.This can lead to your pet being burned. Italso creates a potential fire hazard as arambunctious pet may knock the candleover and start a fire. Ottaka advises petowners to consider using flameless can-dles, which run on batteries. This will pro-tect your pet from accidentally being in-jured and also might prevent a fire.

2. Holiday Trees“Holiday trees can be a source of dan-

ger,” said Ottaka.She said that tinsel looks pretty to people

but to a cat or a dog it looks like a shiny,shimmering toy. According to Ottaka, petswill play with tinsel, or worse ingest it,which can cause serious medical problems,requiring it to be surgically removed.Furthermore, glass ornaments are also

dangerous. The shiny objects danglingfrom a tree also look like toys to pets andthey will swat at them playfully. However,

if knocked over, a glass ornament canshatter into pieces posing a risk for pets tocut themselves. Furthermore, a pet can in-gest the pieces of a broken glass orna-ment, which can then cause internalbleeding. Ottaka warns that some dogscan knock ornaments down by simplywagging their tails.To be safe, Ottaka suggests not using

glass ornaments at all, However, if usedthey should be placed very high on a treewhere a pet cannot reach them or Ottakasuggests placing the ornaments in a bowlto be displayed on a table.And there is also the concern of a pet

actually puling a holiday tree down. Otta-ka says that cats like to climb up trees andmay do so with your holiday tree. A play-ful dog could also run into the tree or evenknock it down with a fast wagging tail.

3. Winter PlantsPoinsettias, holly, evergreens and mistle-

toe can all be a danger to pets that playwith and ingest these plants. Ottaka saidthat some of these plants are indeed toxic.Ironically, while many think of poinsettiasas being toxic, Ottaka says that poinsettiaplants are not truly toxic but can cause se-vere gastric upset in pets. However, holly,evergreens and mistletoe are all toxic foranimals and can even be lethal if a largeenough quantity is ingested. Her advice isto decorate using artificial plants.

4. Electrical CordsIn the holiday movie Christmas Vaca-

tion, a string of lights goes out because acat is chewing on the wire and has pulledthe plug from the socket. As the cat con-tinues to play with it, Clark finds the un-plugged light set, plugs in the cord and the

poor kitty has a miserable holiday. Whilethis scene was played for comedic effect,the reality is that the electric wires that runfrom holiday lights pose a hazard to pets.“Pets chew on electric cords,” said Otta-

ka who advises pet owners to make surethat electric cords are secured and placedwhere pets cannot get to them.

5. FoodFood is a big part of the holidays as evi-

denced by the extra pounds that we see onour scales in January. And as pets are con-sidered family members, it’s almost a nat-ural instinct to share some of the delicioustreats with our pets. However, Ottaka cau-

tions that trying to include our pets in thecelebration can be harmful to them.“Adding rich foods can upset their

stomachs,” said Ottaka.She added that if you want to share a bit

of the holiday fare with your pet, a littlebit of turkey would be okay. However, shestrongly urges pet parents to be vigilant inseeing that pets do not get onions, raisins,grapes, or onion powder which are all tox-ic for pets. And she strongly warns aboutthe dangers of chocolate.“Chocolate can make animals seriously

sick,” said Ottaka. “Enough to cause gas-tric issues.”

Give the gift of Art!48th Holiday Fine Art & Craft Fair

By Ronald ScagliaThe bright lights and festive

decorations are a big part ofmaking the holiday season socheery. However, those deco-rations can also be a source ofdanger as holiday decorationscan cause a fire.“We have had fires in Nas-

sau County over the years thatinvolved holiday decorations,candles and live trees,” saidVincent McManus, divisionsupervisor with the NassauCounty Fire Marshal’s Office.To help everyone enjoy the

holidays while maintainingsafety, McManus offers thefollowing advice regardingholiday decorations.

1. Inspect DecorationsBefore Putting Them Up“For 50 weeks a year, those

lights are kept somewhereelse,” said McManus. “Theyare kept in attics and placeswith temperature extremes.”Because decorations are usu-

ally stored in less the idealconditions, McManus says thatdecorators should inspect thedecorations for damage, wear,cracks and bare spots in thewires. He said that althoughLED lights do not get hot, thatis not the only issue with holi-day lights, so even LED lightsneeds to be checked for safety.

2. Be Responsible withLive Trees

While a live holiday treecan be a nice addition to holi-day decorations, homeownersshould not be careless whenhaving one in their homes forthe holidays. McManus saidthat trees should be kept awayfrom heat sources such as fire-places, wood stoves and radia-tors. He also said that treesshould be consistently wateredas they can dry out quickly.“A dry tree when burning

releases the same heat and en-ergy as gasoline,” said Mc-Manus.

3. Be CautiousWith Candles

Putting candles on a treewere once a common anddangerous holiday tradition,which McManus says shouldnever be done. However,while that tradition is nolonger common, many still use candlesto decorate during the holidays and Mc-Manus says that extreme caution shouldbe taken when doing so. If choosing todecorate with candles, McManus urgeseveryone to keep them away from com-bustibles and in places where pets andchildren could come in contact with themand perhaps knock them over. He furthersays that candles should never be left un-attended and that if used, they should beburned within a glass container. In addi-tion, to keeping candles off of holidaytrees, they should be kept completelyaway from them. Not only do candlesnear a tree present a potential danger, theheat will also dry the tree out morequickly and leave it less appealing forthe entire holiday season.“A tree dries out quicker near a fire-

place which makes it more easily ig-

nitable,” said McManus,4. Use Proper Equipment OutdoorsMcManus urges everyone decorating

outdoors, to only use lighting and electri-cal equipment that is specifically ap-proved for outdoor use. He also said thatall connections should be taped and light-ened to reduce the likelihood of moisturegetting into them.

5. Have Smoke Detectors andCarbon Monoxide

Okay, this is year-round advice and notstrictly a holiday concern. However, whenMcManus was speaking about decoratingsafely he made sure to remind everyoneabout having smoke detectors with freshbatteries as well as carbon monoxide de-tectors.“You want to have a joyous holiday sea-

son, but be vigilant to enjoy the holidayssafely,” said McManus.

Nassau County Fire Marshal:Take Safety Precautions

With Holiday Lights, Candles

516-986-1422Look at your blinds…Over the years, your blinds and window treatments act like filters, absorbing dust, dirt, pollen, mold, grease, nicotine, stains and even the oil from your hands on the pull cords. Spills, splashes and water leaks are also common contributors to stained or discolored blinds. Insects sometimes crawl in and die. Dusting them by yourself just creates static electricity which attracts even more dirt. Our Ultrasonic Blind Cleaning removes it all.
