Merry Christmas

, Lady Lake Magazine/Village Spectator – December, 2014

A.J. “Tony” Powell

AS I SEE IT“Merry Christmas!” or “Happy Holi-

days!”-For thousands of years, all over the

world, people have had a mid-winter cel-ebration.

-Despite, centuries of confl ict and divi-siveness, Christmas is truly becoming a sea-son of “Goodwill to all”.

Regardless of age, nationality, ethnicity or religion, our ‘year-end-celebration’ is a time of gift giving and receiving, decorated trees and parades.

-Before Christianity, in Europe, when the worst of the winter was behind them people celebrated during the winter solstice.

-The Norse people of Scandinavia cel-ebrated Yule from December through Janu-ary. They believed that each spark from their bonfi re represented a new birth during the coming year.

-Also, the end of the year was a good time for a feast because livestock was slaughtered so, for many, it was the only time of year when they had a fresh meat, and the wine and beer which they had made in the sum-mer, would be ready to drink.

-In Germany, during the winter season, the pagan god Oden terrorized the people

who believed he would fl y through the sky at night to decide who would prosper and who would perish.

-Even back in Roman times, there was a winter holiday for Saturn (Saturnalia). Food and drink were plentiful, business and schools were closed.

-Also the Romans observed Juvenalia, a feast honoring children and the birthday of Mithra, the god of the unconquerable sun, on December 25, so,to them, it was the most sacred day of the year.

-Back then, Easter was the main Christian holiday. It was not until four hundred years later that the emerging Christian Church decided to recognize the birth of Jesus as a holiday, and thus the Christmas tradition was born.

-Based on the fact that the bible reports that ‘shepherds were herding their sheep’, it’s probable that HIS birth was in the spring.

-Much later, Catholic Pope Julius I chose December 25 for a ‘Feast of the Nativity’, probably with the idea that it’s easier to adopt and absorb the pagan Mithra and Sat-urnalia festivals, than compete with them.

-Within a few hundred years, ‘Christmas’

Let me tell you how my Tom‘s Picks is growing and what I am doing to develop it.

Tom’s Picks is helping about 100 rea-ders every 90 days. It astounds me that we are getting calls at this rate. I will refer you to my customers first. Then I look for ser-

vices under well known Business Clubs and Chambers of Commerce to try to get you the Best of the Best. Part of the weeding process is they must be highly visible in the com-munity, like active in the Chamber, or other large groups that screen their members.

Chamber Breakfast

The chamber breakfast was sponsored by Project Legacy, a group of churches, civic organi-zations and businesses that raise money for children’s issues. Please find above photo from the chamber breakfast with, on Left, Sidney Brock, Heritage Community Church (a member of Project Legacy), Dr. Susan Moxley, Superintendent of Lake County Schools center, and Karen Mercer of Brown & Brown Insurance, right. Dr. Susan Moxley spoke to the attending crowd on “The State of our Local Education System in Lake County as it Relates to the Northern Lake County Area”. Dr. Moxley also highlighted the importance of partnerships among local businesses, civic groups, churches and individu-als to help address the needs of children within their community while leveraging resources to help meet those needs.

Lady Lake Chamber Expo

Letter from TNIn my opinion this bill that passed is ille-

gally. They have beat up, threatened, bribed everyone they think they can get away with to reach a vote to win Obamacare. Marco Rubio, a Florida candidate is starting a peti-tion to recall, throw out or what ever it is called when something illegal is put back right. Some 38 states are postering for a bat-tle over the healthcare bill, they will never quit, I continue to voice your and my opin-ion and vote accordingly in the next election

and every election in the future.I was sitting in my living room listening

to this great orator and the people who are surrounding him. The people who are not around him are the people that are going to pay the bill. If you listen to you can only think that he really believes he is right. Economist all over the world say his is wrong. Some of the top 5 employers say there will be thou-sands of their employees out of work. Cat-apillar says it will cost them

The attendance was good. A slow moving crowd flowed through the expo, never end-ing but then about closing time it stopped.

The vendors did well and no complaints from the visitors.

Budget deficitMany Democrats talk about Obama in-

heriting a huge deficit from Bush, so let take a short history lesson.

Budgets come from Congress not the White House. The Democratic party has controlled Congress since January 2007. They controlled the budget process for 2008 and 2009, as well as 2010. In that first year, the Dems had to contend with Bush, which caused them to compromise on spending, when Bush belatedly got tough on spend-ing increases. For 2009, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid bypassed George Bush entirely, passing continuing resolutions to keep gov-ernment running until Barack Obama could take office. At that time, they passed a mas-sive omnibus spending bill to complete the 2009 budgets.

Where was Barack Obama during this time? He was a member of Congress that passed all of these massive spending bills, and he signed the omnibus bill as President to complete 2009. Let‘s look at what the deficits was during that period.

The Democrats did not inherited any def-icit, the 2007 deficit, the last of the Repub-lican budgets. That deficit was the lowest in five years, and the fourth straight decline in deficit spending. After that, Democrats in Congress took control of spending, and that includes Barack Obama, who voted for the budgets. If Obama inherited anything, he inherited it from himself.

What Obama is saying is I inherited a deficit that I voted for and then I voted to expand that deficit four-fold since January

School Board Turmoilby Tom LouryAnother flare-up in the school board

chambers. You’ve got to give Jackie Porter credit for being gutsy. A lone vote not to approve $500,000 for new roofs for three buildings at Dunnellon High school. This writer lived in Dunnellon and heard teach-ers and people around town talking about how fast the construction was going bad in-cluding talk about the roof leaking. I believe there was talk about the roof leaking before it was eight years old. Back then there was a decision to look into it. Matter of fact I think Bobby James was the principal back then and he is now part of the School Board, why don’t they ask him? The roof was prob-ably patched. Who was the contractor? What was the warranty? The current School Board is not responsible for what happened that many years ago but I think it is their respon-

sibility to make things right especially when they are spending the tax payers’ money.

What can they do? Talk to their attorneys and ask what legally can be done and come out with a statement. The statute of limita-tions probably ran out.

Jackie Porter is asking these questions wanting answers and she is being ridiculed for it. Yes the if the roof is leaking it needs

Progress Energy Speaker A New Philly Is Born

A philly born this morning on the Loury Ranch. Pictured is Lindsay Sykes holding her philly just hours old. To be fair the light spots on the new philly is the sun coming through the trees, but she is colorful and already likes people. The coldest or near coldest day of the year, 20 degrees at daylight she was found prancing in the pasture next to her mother.

“The Party of No”On November 18, 2009, Senate Major-

ity Leader Harry Reid unveiled the Senate’s health care reform legislation. Unlike the health care bill passed in the House of Rep-resentatives, Senator Reid’s proposal would allow the

Secretary of Health and Human Servic-

es to include coverage of elective abortion services in the government-run health care reform.

I am the Party of No. No to being forced to pay for someone’s abortion. No to gov-ernment-run health care insurance. No to Democrats’ closed door pork barreling

Jerry pointed out many thing that the business people did not, but the thing that impressed me most was the jobs the building of the new Nuc plants would bring to an area. The new Crystal River Plant would bring upwards to 8,000 for approximately 8 years. You can just imagine what 20 Nuc plants would bring to the US economy.

16th Annual Fishing Derby Tempers Flare with School Board MeetingMarion County School BoardBy Tom LouryI recently read an article that was in the

Ocala Star Banner, Thursday April 15, 2010 front page about Jackie Porter and the School Superintendent Yancey. If you look at the ar-ticle it is reported with Jackie Porter’s alle-ged file and the story is presented like a fe-deral court case. The interesting fact is there were no quotes from Jackie Porter and no remarks from her defending herself. It’s not because she refused to remark but in fact, she was never asked or interviewed for this story. That bothers me more than any of the following comments. I believe that everyone should have the right to defend themselves in print.

I feel somewhat responsible for some of the friction between the School Board and Jackie Porter. With the School Board, as elected officials, you would not have ex-pected a reaction like this. Elected officials give up their privacy and are fair game for any questions that comes your way. Jackie Porter said she sent Mr. Yancey a personal email asking about a sensitive question. Was it his son-in-law that was promoted to an ad-ministrative job? If the question had been anawered it would have stopped right the-re. Somehow it was brought into the school board meeting and tempers flared. I say Ja-ckie Porter was elected to watch out for our tax dollar as well as is the rest of the School Board.

We all have a personal stake in this, OUR

To the editorAfter reading the article in the Orlando

Sentinel, March 10, entitled “Your Law-makers Aren’t Tightening Their Belts” I saw red. Could the members of Congress, and I mean both the Democrats and Republicans, be more out of touch with their constituents and the hardships they are facing? When federal lawmakers vote themselves a 5 per-cent increase while families are enduring job losses, home foreclosures, 2.56 million Flo-ridians on food stamps, the U.S. banks have had their sharpest decline in lending since 1942 and the worst economy that America has seen since the Great Depression of the 1930s you know for sure that Congress is totally out to lunch. Foreclosures are up 6% over last year and the average unemploy-ment rate in Florida at 12.2 percent is worse than the national average at 9.7 percent. Osceola and Lake County have the highest

unemployment rates at 13.5 percent among Central Florida counties. Flagler County at 17.1 percent has the states highest unem-ployment rate. What jobs has the stimulus package that was passed last year created? As I see it, the only thing it has created is more and more government and increased our debt. In addition, we now have this huge health care bill that even those who voted for it don‘t know whats in it that everyone will have to pay for. Its time the members of Congress were in touch with their constitu-ents and the hardships they are facing, were made accountable for their actions or voted out of office.

RAK ********To the Village SpectatorThe article by Charlette Poss, “Your

Health”, was one of the best I’ve read con-


TAX money. Many of us have been prea-ching “buy local”. This story started when many businesses, elected officials and orga-nizations started encouraging people to buy local. I’m sure you have seen some of the buy local campaigns. The county is taking pride in their buy local efforts and they are buying local, but a small segment appears not to be.

At a meeting I was hearing complaints from businessman Doctor R. Ronald Cor-bett, owner of Ink Solutions who talked about his recent experience in his attempt at a bid on a $200,000 plus contract with the school system. Corbett said he went through all the paperwork and met all the regula-

had spread to Egypt and later to England, then all the way to Scandinavia and other parts of Europe.

-Even today, the Greek and Russian or-thodox churches have Christmas for 13 days after the 25th-the ‘Epiphany’ or ‘Three Kings Day’; the day that the three wise men arrived.

-The decision to have Christmas at the same time as traditional local winter fes-tivals was very successful. By the Middle Ages, Christianity had, for the most part, absorbed most pagan religions.

-So ‘believers’ would go to church (as Christians), then celebrate with a drunken feast (as Pagans). Which, many of us still do today!

-Christmas even survived the 17th cen-tury Puritan Dictator, Oliver Cromwell who vowed to rid England of all ‘decadence’, so he ‘canceled’ Christmas-(really!).

-And later, ‘Puritan Pilgrim’ immigrants to the New World, did not recognize Christ-mas as a holiday, which, in Boston, was even ‘outlawed’.

-But, again, Christmas survived and grew in popularity. In Jamestown, Captain John Smith reported that “Christmas was enjoyed by all, and passed without incident.”

-Then, after the American Revolution, English traditions, including Christmas, were out-of-favor.

-In fact, New York city started their own police force to quell a Christmas riot.

-But inevitably, the American people began to embrace Christmas again, as it changed from a raucous carnival holiday, into a family-centered day of peace and nos-talgia.

-It was Washington Irving whose illus-trated, fi ctitious stories about the celebra-tion of Christmas in an English manor house with sketches showing local ‘peasants’ in-vited into the ‘big house’ for the holiday.

-Irving saw Christmas as a peaceful, warm-hearted holiday bringing groups to-gether across lines of wealth and social sta-tus and celebrated “ancient customs”.

-Some historians say that Irving actually “invented” a modern Christmas by implying that he was reporting real traditions of the season. Nonetheless, it was a comfortable and appealing concept which was adopted by more and more people in America.

-Later English author Charles Dickens reinforced that perception with the classic holiday tale, ‘A Christmas Carol’ which emphasizes the importance of charity and ‘good will towards all’.

-This struck a powerful chord in the Unit-ed States where it provided families with a day when they could enjoy a day together and share gifts.

The cricket that did not give up.

True story: Dunnellon, Florida - A Hawk swooped down and grabbed a cricket. It hastily fl ew straight up, hit a power line, and was electrocuted.

It fell to the ground dead - end of story? No, the Cricket was still alive and lived to sing that night.

The administration is stripping the Bor-der Patrol agencies of money and at the same time looking for a company that can supply sports bras and underwear for 100,000 ille-gals at taxpayers’ expense.

This is the time of year we look back at what we did and see if we can improve on our performance, make changes for the good! WOW I have lot to do next year. I will help as many people as I can but 90% of my requests are for free publicity. I hear many clubs stand up and say we advertised in this pub or that pub but what they did is submit a request for a free press release. Sorry but that does not buy groceries, that will not pay the bills. Newspapers make their money thru advertising which is paid for. I ran thousands of dollars of free space and I just can’t con-tinue that practice. Buy an ad and I will try to run your press releases.

We have a controversy going on about using the word “HERO” when it comes to ‘all vets are heroes.’ Well in my book they certainly are. People who serve in the mili-tary deserve our respect. Veterans show re-spect to each other and the non-vets should do the same. In looking at the word hero in the dictionary it leads me in the direction of the defi nition of “great deed of bravery” “courage” “gallantry”. In other words do-ing an unusual deed to save someone where your own life is in danger. In conclusion I think the word is used properly. When using the word hero and adding the words extreme courage would show an unusual deed of bravery. Just my opinion!

Following up with the Veterans Hospitals not doing their job. We have a new leader in charge of that, a veteran of 32 years. He says there is over 1,000 veterans hospital work-ers that need to be fi red. It is almost impos-sible to fi re a government employee, so we will see how it all comes out. The statement I heard on the news shocked me. A vet com-mits suicide every hour, that should not hap-pen. If they need care, fi scal or mental, it needs to happen. In reading a poem sent to me on veterans day from Ken Tipper I was moved by the poem and the last line read “OUR COUNTRY IS IN MOURNING,

A VETERAN DIED TODAY.”Actually it happens every hour! Support

our vets!

Editorial Policy TomL Publishing LLCWe have a number of writers in several

different publications. We do not censor their opinion. The writers’ opinion is their own and we don’t do anything to try to change that. When a reader calls in or emails me about a writer’s opinion, including me, I offer to run their opinion - and I do. You will see them in a form of letter to the editor. I run your fi rst name or initials or sign it like (Tom from the Villages). If you, as a reader, don’t agree with the opinion of the letter you may respond with a letter. You may see our current and back issues by typing villag-espectator.com news or ocaladowntown.com news. This will get you to our Ocala or Villages websites. The following is the opinion of a reader who doesn’t agree with something that was in last month’s paper.

Op-EdA.J. “Tony” Powell’s “As I See It” col-

umn is so delusional it borders on insanity. Tony, on what planet have you been living for the past six years? Your column was so full of inaccuracies and even outright fabri-cations it insults human intelligence.

“By every measure of the economy the U.S.A. is better off” than when Obama took

offi ce? Name one, if you can, and one you can back up with FACTS.

The REAL unemployment rate is over 16%. If we wait until EVERYONE stops looking for work we can bring it down to zero. Welfare recipients? Over 35 MIL-LION. Low interest rates? Thank the Fed for zero-to-1/2% rates artifi cially held down. And what does that do to the US Dollar? You will know when you pay $8.00 for a loaf of bread.

Obama responsible for the U.S. becom-ing number one energy producer? I guess that’s because he charged forward boldly to build the XL Pipeline? No, it’s because in spite of his blocking that initiative (think Harry Reid) the fracking industry has made us an exporter and the largest source of natu-ral gas in the world. I could go on and on but why bother?

You said one thing correctly: though: “Elections are opportunities come and gone” Welcome to November 4, 2014. Obama’s time has come and, thankfully, he will soon be gone. Enjoy your fantasy world while it lasts, Tony, reality is just around the corner.

Hearing loss?: talking with a loved one

How to help those you care about get the help they need

As the holidays are coming up and I think about how many people will

be sitting with love ones and talking and knowing that their love ones cannot hear them. They will have to repeat themselves and still may not be understood. Hearing loss doesn’t just affect the person who has it, It also affects spouses, family members and friends. From frustration with having to repeat things over and over to heartbreak at seeing someone you care about isolate themselves from the people and activities that they love, the negative effects of hear-ing loss casts a wide net. Convincing the loved one to seek help is the right thing to do, but is not always easy. Hopefully I can provide some dos and don’ts to help you ap-proach this important subject.

First the facts:If hearing loss is left untreated it can af-

fect a person’s quality of life in many ways. It can lead to dementia, falls, and withdraw-al from social situations. Yet, without even realizing it, you may be making it easier for

someone not to seek help. Well-intentioned efforts such as repeating yourself or “trans-lating” what others are saying may be pre-venting your love one from realizing how much communication they fail to under-stand or miss completely. It is important to stop enabling them.

Here are some things that you can do:Talk to your friend or loved one about

their hearing concernsGently remind them of their loss every

time you “translate” or repeat something for them.

Recommend they visit a hearing profes-sional to get their questions answered and get more information

Offer to schedule and attend the hearing consultation with them.

Reminded them they have nothing to lose and potentially everything to gain by seeing a hearing professional.

Well now, don’t be surprised if you get resistance. Unlike our eyesight, when hear-ing goes, people are in less of a hurry to do something about it. With many waiting 5 to 7 years before fi nally seeking treatment. Be prepared for pushback with these responses. Remember, they do not know what they can-not hear. Here are some responses you may receive.

Response one: My family doctor would’ve told me if I have a hearing loss.

Well that is not true because less than

Brett Bonham, BC-HIS

HEARING MATTERS20% of physicians routinely screen for hear-ing loss during physicals

Response two: Wearing a hearing aid will make my hearing loss obvious. Today’s hearing aids are sleek and stylish or even in-visible and certainly less noticeable then if you constantly asked people to repeat them-selves, inappropriately respond, or don’t re-spond at all. People notice that.

Response three: A little hearing loss is no big deal. The fact is studies have linked un-treated hearing loss to big deals like stress, depression, social rejection, increased risk to personal safety, falls, and dementia

If you know someone that seems to have a hearing loss you can make a difference by trying to guide them to getting a com-plementary hearing loss or even a tinnitus

evaluation. The holidays could be a whole lot nicer for that person you love because they won’t miss a word of what is said.*

Election Day was not a good day for Republicans---it was a great day. It is truly a new day in Florida and across the nation as Re-publicans were giv-en the lead in gover-nors’ races and state

legislatures as well as restored to leadership of the US Senate and increased seats in the US House of Representatives.

An election that started as trench warfare, state by state and district by district, trans-formed into a sweeping Republican victory. Contests that were expected to be close were not, and races expected to go Democratic

broke narrowly for the Republicans. With at least a nine-seat gain and most likely more, House Republicans will have close to 245 seats, the largest Republican majority since the Truman administration. Republicans will now control 30 out of 50 state legisla-tures. Florida lead the way with all Repub-lican Cabinet members strongly reelected, Republicans replaced six Democrats in the Florida House for a super majority, and Gov. Scott was re-elected. America has seen the pitfalls of Obamacare’s takeover in Health-care and the social experiment with redistri-bution of income. America is excited about opportunity, freedom, and family. It is now time to deliver free market solutions and de-liver results. Onward and upward.

BIO: Tom Barber, 37, comes from a long line

of agricultural history. He is the son of a 3rd generation farmer in Marion County. His great-grandfather, the late Tommy Bar-ber, raised hogs, cattle and grew vegetables in Morriston, FL. He also sold Ford trac-tors and served as a Marion County Com-missioner. His grandfather, Richard Barber (and late father, Rick Barber), is an active peanut & watermelon producer who also raises cattle in Marion County. Needless to say the Barber family has not only worked the land but has also enjoyed the precious resource from our Floridan aquifer - just as all the pioneer farm families and the rest of us here in Florida for many generations and more to come.

As Tom Barber has also shared a love for our great water here in Marion County over the years he has also found that many resi-dents have a hard time living with the dis-solved lime rock, iron, chlorine and sulfur found in their water supplies. After working in the water treatment industry for the past few years, in both service and sales, Tom

Barber has come to the realization that more and more residents need water treatment for quality drinking water as well. Couple naturally hard water with an increase in population and the demand begins to rise for water purifi cation. One of the staples to Tom Barber’s business, FLA WATER, is reverse osmosis (R.O.) water purifi cation systems. The demand is ever increasing for safe, quality drinking water that the average homeowner can have in their home without having to buy bottled water.

FLA WATER (FLA WATER PRO, LLC) is a water treatment company here in Marion County, based on a solid background, strong work ethic, quality products, dependable service and honest sales. FLA WATER was founded by Tom Barber who loves to ask his important question, “What’s in YOUR wa-ter? Simply stated our job here at FLA WA-TER is to test your water, show you what we fi nd, make recommendations and then you tell us what you want to do.”

FLA WATER chooses equipment made in the USA, from a family business with 65+ years of experience in testing, designing, manufacturing and applying water treatment equipment right here in America. Couple that with our years of dedicated service and sales right here in Marion County and rest assured that FLA WATER will help take care of your water treatment needs. FLA WATER provides sales and service that you can depend on with a proven track record of integrity.

DR. DULGAR

CHAOSLast month I end-

ed my article with the following state-ment: “Simplicity is the ultimate sophis-tication” and said that we would use that to set the tone for the December article. As Christ-

mas is quickly approaching I thought it best to assist you in keeping it simple during this holiday season so as not to stress yourself out, which can cause chaos for your body

and your family! I was just reading an article in one of

my medical journals titled: “INFLAMMA-TION: THE #1 CAUSE OF DISEASE”. Many scientists and doctors worldwide have come to that conclusion after reviewing thousands of studies and groundbreaking new research just released on disease and aging. We know that most, perhaps all, of the chronic diseases including aging have the same “trigger”: INFLAMMATION. A recent article in the publication ACCESSED by Karin et al. states: “It is now clear that the destructive capacity of chronic infl am-mation is unprecedented among physiologic

processes”. This is particularly important as our society ages in the United States with the Baby Boomers. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has stated that of the ten leading causes of mortality in the U.S., low-level infl ammation contributes to the patho-genesis of at least seven! These include heart disease, cancer, chronic lower respi-ratory disease, stroke, Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes, and nephritis, all of which cause a kind of chaos (“dis-order” or confusion) in the body.

For those that don’t know, infl ammation is a natural process and is initially benefi -cial when, for example, you hurt your low back, neck, ankle, or any other body part. These are called strains or sprains and you have not only pain but swelling over the af-fected area. This is a protective device of

the body. However, it can be a bad thing if it is low grade throughout the whole body. Conditions that can be caused by chronic low grade infl ammation of the body include pinched nerves, menopause, bloating, lack of energy and focus, inability to maintain proper body weight, bowel infl ammatory processes, ADD/ADHD, peripheral neurop-athy, migraines, macular degeneration and thyroid problems.

The article on infl ammation discussed some of the causes of this low grade infl am-mation (chaos) throughout the body being caused by excessive body fat – obesity (so it is not only a condition, but a cause!), high caloric meals, smoking, alcohol, excessive stress, lack of sleep and a lack of antioxi-dants in the diet. They list the top ten foods/habits that create chronic infl ammation as:

Tom Loury804-1223

Wendy Netherclift895-4168

(1) Eating too much food/poor digestion, (2) Processed white fl our products, (3) Sugar, (4) Fried foods, (5) Animal meat and purine-laden proteins, (6) Nitrates, (7) Alcohol, (8) Sodas, (9) Additives/food coloring/preser-vative and (10) Lack of sleep and stress. They go on to list the top ten anti-infl am-matory choices you should make: (1) Veg-etables and fruits, (2) Salmon, (3) Olive Oil, (4) Plant enzymes, (5) Raw nuts, (6) Certain herbs and spices, (7) Dark chocolate, (8) More sleep, (9) Whole body exercise and stretching, and (10) micronutrients. (PS: we have the actual article available at our offi ce with the details).

This low grade infl ammation process is a silent killer and a change in your diet and lifestyle, especially around the holidays, is important if you want to stay as healthy as possible. But what the article doesn’t say, and what is the most important thing to know is the reason for this season! For it is your spiritual life that should be at the top of the anti-infl ammatory list! When you are in touch with that everything else from the supposed chaos of the world will give you a pathway to simplicity!

Holiday HintsAdding A Touch Of Warmth To Your

Holiday Celebration(NAPSI)—At holiday time or anytime,

for many busy people, a fi re in the fi replace can provide an escape from day-to-day cha-os, an opportunity for a romantic interlude, or a great accompaniment to an entertaining evening with family and friends.

An Effi cient Way To Enjoy A FireMaking that even easier is a nature-

inspired fi relog that can transport you to a different place and time with the strike of a match.

Crafted from real hardwoods and featur-ing up to a 24 percent more effi cient burn than that of other brands, Pine Mountain® fi re logs burn cleaner and greener than ordi-

nary cordwood. You simply place the fi relog on the fi replace grate and light the arrows marked on the wrapper. Then, sit back and enjoy a beautiful fi re. Pine Mountain fi rel-ogs are available in two-, three- or four-hour burn times. As the match is lit and the fi re begins, chaos can turn to comfort for you and your family.

* * * * *A Stress-Free Dessert Can Make The

Season Sweeter(NAPSI)—Here is some news that can

help to make the winter season more com-forting and holidays less stressful.

According to an American Psychological Association study, the leading worries dur-ing the holidays are time and money, caus-ing many to feel fatigued and stressed.

To help alleviate stress when preparing meals for friends and family, look for reci-pes that are quick and effortless to make.

For example, for a sweet ending to the meal, try creating a semi-homemade treat by transforming a store-bought snack into a delicious dessert.

Mrs. Freshley’s is offering quick and easy recipes that use their snacks to create delectable treats with minimal stress.

Here’s a new take on a classic fall com-fort food—Pumpkin Bread Pudding.

Pumpkin Bread PuddingIngredients5 Mrs. Freshley’s Honey Buns2 eggs, beaten1⁄2 15-oz can of pumpkin puree2 cups milk2 Tbsp brown sugar1 tsp vanilla extract1⁄4 tsp cinnamonDirectionsSlice Mrs. Freshley’s Honey Buns into

bite-size pieces.Place honey buns in greased 2-quart bak-

ing dish.Beat eggs, pumpkin puree, milk, sugar

and vanilla in a small bowl.Pour milk mixture over honey buns.Sprinkle with cinnamon and bake at 350

degrees F for 35 to 45 minutes or until gold-en brown and pudding is fi rm.

For a quick treat with great fl avor, try this recipe for Crisp Cranberry Trifl e.

AS I SEE IT

-It wasn’t long before immigrant Ameri-cans added some of their own ancient cus-toms and traditions, including decorating trees, holiday cards, and gift-giving.

-Who knew that the fi rst eggnog made in the United States was consumed in Captain John Smith’s 1607 Jamestown settlement.

-That the ‘traditional’ Christmas Poinset-tia is named after Joel R. Poinsett, an Ameri-can minister who brought the red-and-green plant here from Mexico in 1828.

-That ‘Rudolph-the-Red-Nosed Rein-deer’ was ‘imagined’ by Robert L. May’s in

(Continued from Page 2) 1939 as a commercial ‘jingle’ to get custom-ers into the Montgomery Ward department store.

-That construction workers started the Christmas tree tradition at the Rockefeller Center only in 1931.

--So, this year, more than ever, the ‘Hap-py Holiday Season’ will include everyone, regardless of ‘faith’-

-A season to give, and a season to get.-A time for friends, a time for family.Lyric:--With Christmas here, and New Years

near,

-If you have faith or not,-Take time to think of someone dear,-Or friends you have forgot,-A parent, child or long-lost friend,

-You’ll give each one a lift,-Wish happiness and good health too,-A priceless, heartfelt gift.

Merry Christmas

Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful. ~Norman Vincent Peale

Christmas is a time when you get home-sick - even when you’re home. ~Carol Nelson

He who has not Christmas in his heart will never fi nd it under a tree. ~Roy L. Smith

I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round, as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable time; the

only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys. ~Charles Dick-ens

Christmas is the gentlest, loveliest festi-val of the revolving year - and yet, for all that, when it speaks, its voice has strong authority. ~W.J. Cameron

The best of all gifts around any Christ-

mas tree: the presence of a happy fam-ily all wrapped up in each other. ~Burton Hillis

One of the most glorious messes in the world is the mess created in the living room on Christmas day. Don’t clean it up too quickly. ~Andy Rooney

Happy, happy Christmas, that can win us back to the delusions of our childish days; that can recall to the old man the pleasures of his youth; that can transport the sailor and the traveller, thousands of miles away, back to his own fi re-side and his quiet home! ~Charles Dickens, The Pickwick Papers, 1836

Christmas is a necessity. There has to be at least one day of the year to remind us that we’re here for something else besides ourselves. ~Eric Sevareid

Our hearts grow tender with childhood memories and love of kindred, and we are better throughout the year for having, in spirit, become a child again at Christmas-time. ~Laura Ingalls Wilder

May Peace be your gift at Christmas and your blessing all year through! ~Au-thor Unknown

I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year. ~Charles Dick-ens

Never worry about the size of your Christmas tree. In the eyes of children, they are all 30 feet tall. ~Larry Wilde, The Merry Book of Christmas

Christmas is the season for kindling the fi re of hospitality in the hall, the genial fl ame of charity in the heart. ~Washington Irving

Gifts of time and love are surely the ba-sic ingredients of a truly merry Christmas. ~Peg Bracken

Isn’t it funny that at Christmas some-thing in you gets so lonely for - I don’t know what exactly, but it’s something that you don’t mind so much not having at oth-er times. ~Kate L. Bosher

At Christmas, all roads lead home. ~Marjorie Holmes

Instead of being a time of unusual be-havior, Christmas is perhaps the only time in the year when people can obey their natural impulses and express their true sentiments without feeling self-conscious and, perhaps, foolish. Christmas, in short, is about the only chance a man has to be himself. ~Francis C. Farley

It is Christmas in the heart that puts Christmas in the air. ~W.T. Ellis

Christmas Quotes


(Family Features) The holidays are a special time of year to celebrate and connect with family and friends. From a cookie swap at work to a formal holi-day dinner at home, with the right kind of recipes and a little planning, any holiday gathering can be a sweet success.

But, before you tie your apron strings and grab your rolling pin, avoid the last minute trips to the store by stocking up on baking staples like fl our, butter, sugar and especially eggs.

As a versatile and affordable ingredient, eggs can be used in everything and offer limitless baking possibilities - from pies to cookies to eggnog. Plus, at 15 cents apiece, they can be an affordable way to feed a crowd for the holidays.
