A downscaled
holiday party
can still boost
worker morale
It doesn’t have to be a down-
er when the weak economy
forces small businesses to scale
back their holiday parties from
the big catered or restaurant
affairs they held in the past.
These events can still be oppor-
tunities to build teamwork and
boost morale.
An owner hoping for a great
party should include employees
in the planning. The camaraderie
that results can make the plan-
ning as worthwhile as the event
itself, and create goodwill.
“The very coming together
over a non-work task is in itself
delightful, delicious and engag-
ing,” said Beverly Kaye, an
employee retention consultant in
Sherman Oaks, Calif.
Owners who have had to
downsize agree — it doesn’t
have to be a depressing process.
“We’re going to scale back
and still have fun together,” said
Carin Warner, whose public
relations firm, Warner Commun-
ication, is based in Boston. Her
company used to have weekend
getaways. This year, it’ll be a
potluck party on the beach.
No money?
No obstacle
Remember that even if
there’s little money for a party,
it’s still possible to have a good
time. But if you’ve had to cancel
the company’s usual lunch or
dinner at a restaurant, don’t
think that just ordering pizzas in
one day will suffice. It may be
effortless and inexpensive, but
it’s also pretty sterile and won’t
give employees or the company
the kind of benefits that a full-
scale party will have.
Kaye suggested telling
employees, for example, “I have
$250 to feed everybody. What
can we do that’s out of the box,
that would be a great, fun
party?”
Often the answer is going to
be a potluck party in the office or
at someone’s home. Many
employees love potluck affairs
because it gives them a chance
to show off their culinary skills
and to get new ideas from co-
workers. Potlucks give staffers a
chance to get to know more
about each other, and they have a
warmth that catered parties often
cannot duplicate.
In that case, with the staff
supplying most of the food, an
owner should be sure to con-
tribute something substantial —
a cake and beverages or ice
cream sundaes, for example.
Ask the employees
Before you tell everyone to
start cooking, you should ask
employees what kind of party
they’d like — and be sure they
want to have one. Many employ-
ees feel as if they have little con-
trol over their work lives these
days, especially in companies
where there have been layoffs or
workloads have increased. So let
them decide.
Some companies are having a
particularly hard time right now
even as the economy shows
signs of recovering. All the more
reason to rally the staff, Kaye
said.
“Use the opportunity to have
fun, to say, ‘we’re a team, we’re
going to get through this togeth-
er,’” she said. “This is a great
example of recession thinking:
How do you go from, ‘Oh, woe
is me’ to ‘Oh, wow this is fun.’”
Another reason to bring
staffers into the process from the
get-go is that someone may want
to volunteer to host a party, or

they may have friends or rela-
tives who can offer party space,
supplies or food.
Be creative
Being creative, and urging
staffers to be creative, is the best
way to have a great party.
Carin Warner’s public rela-
tions firm has had to scale back
dramatically. “We’ve had the
luxury of going away to what we
call our spa retreats the past few
years, but not this year, for obvi-
ous reasons,” she said.
So Warner talked to each of
her 12 employees and asked
them what they wanted to do.
The result: Warner Commun-
ication is having a bonfire on the
beach near the company’s office.
It’s going to be a mostly potluck
affair, with hors d’oeuvres and
dessert catered, but all the
staffers are bringing seafood
dishes. They’re hoping to have
fireworks.
Manta, which runs a database
on small and medium-sized
businesses, has had some tradi-
tional parties in the past, but this
year will bring in lunch for
staffers at the company‘s
Columbus, Ohio, headquarters.
But lunch is just a small part of
the event.
CEO Pam Springer says the
centerpiece of the party is “The
12 Days of Manta,” a roast in
which the company’s various
departments do their take on the
Christmas carol. There’ll also be
a white elephant exchange — a
gift swap involving unique and
sometimes odd items — and a
sugar cookie baking competi-
tion.
Contests are often popular.
Kaye suggested a party with a
chili cook-off theme. Springer
said Manta has also had a cubi-
cle decorating contest, with one
employee creating a manger
scene complete with hay.
Make the process
year-round
The benefits a company can
get from planning a party can be
fleeting, disappearing right
around New Year’s, unless an
owner finds ways to keep the
process going. That doesn’t
mean year-round partying, but it
means the boss needs to let
employees know their work is
appreciated no matter what time
of year it is. And along with the
positive feedback an owner
needs to give, there should be
periodic events to lighten the
collective spirit.
“Where things fail is where
people try to force things
because it’s Christmas,” Springer
said. If staffers feel unappreciat-
ed most of the year, they’re like-
ly to respond to party plans with,
“you never cared about any of us
before, and now we’re supposed
to have a white elephant
exchange.”
“If you lay the groundwork
throughout the year, it makes for
a much richer environment, and
people are much more willing to
share.”
Joyce Rosenberg writes
“Small Talk” for the Associated
Press on issues concerning small
business.
‘Capping’ sins of emissions
Washington often deals with such compli-
cated issues and speaks in such confusing lan-
guage that many of us just tune out. So it has
been with “carbonomics.” But the time has
come to pay attention, because this matter now
is front and center, and there is a lot riding on
the outcome.
President Barack Obama has proposed “cap-
and-trade” legislation — carbonomics — as a
key weapon in the fight against global warming.
For Congress, put up or shut up time has arrived.
Business leaders and environmentalist sup-
port the idea. Some others see it as a form of
madness, or at the least very bad policy.
A cap-and-trade policy has been in place in
the European Union since 2005, and it has
already spawned a multibillion-dollar global
carbon market that’s increasing exponentially.
But a growing chorus of critics worries that
cap-and-trade will give big polluters a way of
dodging their responsibilities and do more for
speculators on Wall Street than for the envi-
ronment.
Cap-and-trade is designed to make pollut-
ing expensive. Here is how it works: The gov-
ernment sets a limit on the amount of green-
house gases the country may emit. That limit
is then divided into shares among businesses.
If company A wants to exceed its share, it has
to pay someone else to equally reduce its
greenhouse-gas emissions. Company A can
buy an “allowance” from a company that is
not using its full share, or it can buy an “off-
set.” Offsets come from companies in coun-
tries that don’t have cap-and-trade laws, but
agree to reduce their greenhouse-gas emis-
sions, and therefore reduce global emissions,

Today is Friday, Oct. 30, the 303rd day of
2009. There are 62 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On Oct. 30, 1938, the radio play “The
War of the Worlds,” starring Orson Welles,
aired on CBS. (The live drama, which
employed fake breaking news reports, pan-
icked some listeners who thought the por-
trayal of a Martian invasion was real.)
On this date:
In 1735, the second president of the
United States, John Adams, was born in
Braintree, Mass.
In 1893, the U.S. Senate gave final con-
gressional approval to repealing the
Sherman Silver Purchase Act of 1890.
In 1944, the Martha Graham ballet
“Appalachian Spring,” with music by Aaron
Copland, premiered at the Library of
Congress in Washington, D.C., with Graham
in a leading role.
In 1945, the U.S. government announced
the end of shoe rationing, effective at mid-
night.
In 1961, the Soviet Union tested a hydro-
gen bomb, the “Tsar Bomba,” with a force
estimated at about 50 megatons. The Soviet
Party Congress unanimously approved a res-
olution ordering the removal of Josef Stalin’s
body from Lenin’s tomb.

in exchange for money. Offsets are more
attractive because they cost less. But studies
by the Government Accountability Office and
others show offsets often yield little to no envi-

China. But it turns out that these plants were
already under construction. The upshot? The
offsets provided an excuse for EU companies
to exceed their emissions cap, but did not lead
to overall reductions in greenhouse gases.
In another example, EU companies paid
millions of dollars for offsets from an Indian
company that manufactures a refrigerant gas.
The Indian company agreed to reduce its toxic
emissions, and in return, it was paid for every
ton of pollution it no longer generated. But the
offset payments proved so lucrative, the Indian
company increased gas production just to earn
millions more in offsets. A Stanford
University study concluded that offsets were
In 1974, Muhammad Ali regained his
world heavyweight title by knocking out
George Foreman in the eighth round of a 15-

“Rumble in the Jungle.”
In 1975, the New York Daily News ran
the headline “Ford to City: Drop Dead” a
day after President Gerald R. Ford said he
would veto any proposed federal bailout of
New York City.
In 1979, President Jimmy Carter
announced his choice of federal appeals
judge Shirley Hufstedler to head the newly
created Department of Education.
In 1984, police in Poland found the body
of kidnapped pro-Solidarity priest Father
Jerzy Popieluszko, whose death was blamed
on security officers.
In 1989, Mitsubishi Estate Co. announced
it was buying 51 percent of Rockefeller
Group Inc. of New York. (However, amid a
real estate slump, Mitsubishi ended up walk-
ing away from its investment in 1995.)
Ten years ago: Fifty-four people were

“an excessive subsidy that represents a mas-
sive waste of developed world resources.”
The United States does not yet have a
national cap-and-trade policy, but some states
do. And the domestic market in offsets is
booming. It’s not just companies buying them.
Environmentally conscious individuals are
purchasing offsets to assuage their guilt over
the carbon footprint left by everything from
extravagant parties to air travel. For example,
they spend millions on offsets from garbage
dumps that clean up methane from rotting
trash. Sounds good, but these landfills already
were collecting methane to sell as fuel. The
offsets are an added windfall.
Despite all the problems, carbon trading is
expected to become the world’s largest com-
modity market by 2020. Wall Street firms like
JP Morgan Chase, Deutsche Bank and
Goldman Sachs are spending millions to buy
companies that offer offsets. Credit Suisse has
even issued carbon derivatives. Environmental
groups like Friends of the Earth worry that the
rush to invest in carbon could create a specu-
lative bubble. They say that without careful
oversight, offsets will make money for Wall
Street, raise costs for consumers, and do little
to counter global warming.
Who knows? You pick a side and hope for
the best. It’s decision time.

SIOUX FALLS — The Huron Tiger
volleyball team wasn’t able to close its reg-
ular season with a victory, but coach Shelly
Buddenhagen was happy with what she
saw out of her team Thursday during a 3-1
setback against Sioux Falls Washington.
After Washington won 25-19 in the
opening set, the Tigers evened the match
with a 25-16 victory in the second set, but
the Warriors recorded 25-16 and 25-18
wins in the next two sets to claim the
match.
“I felt the match was much closer than
the scoring reflects,” Huron coach Shelly
Buddenhagen said. “Sioux Falls
Washington had much more size at the net,
but I thought we contend with them at the
net very well.”
Buddenhagen pointed to a strong defen-
sive effort from her team as the key to the
victory in the second set.
“We had some really good digs, which
led to long rallies that we ended up win-
ning,” she said. “Our kids played strong at
the net and we were able get Sioux Falls
Washington scrambling. We capitalized on
our blocking.”
Brittany Hirschkorn finished the match

Fisher switches
to Young at QB
for winless Titans
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP)
— Tennessee Titans owner
Bud Adams wants more of
Vince Young. He’s getting
just that with his winless
team switching from veteran
Kerry Collins back to the
2006 Offensive Rookie of the
Year.
Coach Jeff Fisher
announced the expected move
Thursday following practice
for the 0-6 Titans, and Young
got the news from his coach
in the morning. Fisher insists
it was an organizational deci-
sion resulting from the team’s
winless start and that he
won’t play musical chairs
with the position.
“We’re in a unique situa-
tion right now. We haven’t
won a game. We wouldn’t be
having this conversation if we
were 3-3,” Fisher said.
That means Young will
start Sunday against
Jacksonville (3-3), the team
that helped send him to the
bench in the 2008 opener by
picking him off twice and
spraining his knee. Collins
started 20 of the 21 games
since then.
Young has eight career
interceptions against
Jacksonville with only three
touchdown passes. He also
has more career interceptions
(33) than TD passes (22). But
he has won five of his last six
starts and is 18-11 as a
starter. Young thanked Fisher
for giving him a chance to sit
back, develop and learn from
Collins.
“For him to give me a shot
again to go out and give it a
chance again is big for me
because I’ve been waiting,”
Young said.
The move appeared
inevitable since the Titans
lost 59-0 at New England on
Oct. 18. Adams told The
Tennessean newspaper after
that loss in New England that
he wanted to see more of
Young.
Penguins’ Malkin
sidelined with
shoulder injury
PITTSBURGH (AP) —
NHL scoring champion
Evgeni Malkin will be lost to
the Pittsburgh Penguins for
two to three weeks because of
a strained right shoulder.
Malkin had been attempt-
ing to play through the injury,
but coach Dan Bylsma said
the team decided to rest the
center. The Russian star
would miss seven games if he
is out two weeks and 10
games if he is out three.
“He strained his shoulder
about 10 days or so ago,”
Bylsma said on Thursday. “I
don’t know the exact day. It
is precautionary for the play-
er. We are worried about the
safety of the shoulder. A cou-
ple of weeks of rest and rehab
will get that thing healthy.”
The injury will end
Malkin’s streak of 254 con-
secutive regular-season games
played. The Penguins play
Friday at Columbus.
“It’s early in the season.
It’s fine,” Malkin said. “I feel
good. It’s not a big problem.”
Malkin is tied with Sidney
Crosby for the team lead in
scoring with 14 points —
four goals and 10 assists in
12 games.

Fall decorating relies on veggies U.S. recession
BY DEAN FOSDICK
AP WRITER
Fall is a busy time for deco-
rating, second only
Christmas, and the period when
to
vegetables are valued more for
their beauty than their flavor.
Back when America was
largely rural, bringing in the
harvest was cause for celebra-
tion. Corn stalks were bundled
into “fodder shocks” stalks,
ears, tassels and all and stacked
upright around light poles and
near entries and fed to livestock.
Then came Halloween pump-
kins and Thanksgiving with its
fresh fruit and colorful gourds
gracing dining room tables.
“We don’t just decorate for
Halloween anymore but for the
entire fall season,” said Amanda
Sears, an extension agent with
the University of Kentucky’s
Department of Horticulture.
Many farmers and roadside
retailers make financial hay
selling multicolored ears of
Indian corn, pumpkins, gourds,
corn stalks and straw bales for
home decorating. “We have
some commercial growers in
Nebraska who started with
gourds and have expanded into
Indian corn and little straw
bales, the whole package,” said
Dale Lindgren, a plant-breeding
specialist with the University of
Nebraska-Lincoln. Such “orna-
mentals” are sold to big-box
stores as well as small markets.
The top three items used in
fall decorating are pumpkins,
gourds and Indian corn, said
Brad Bergefurd, an Ohio State
University horticulturist who
researches ornamental corn as a
niche crop for area farmers.
“Back 20 or more years ago
when I was raising it on my own
farm, ornamental corn was pret-
ty blah,” Bergefurd said. “But
there have been a lot of
advances from crossbreeding
the old varieties.
“Ears are neater now with
better sizes and shapes. More
colors are available. More peo-
ple are raising and selling it, so
SENIOR PAGE
it’s easier to find.”
Indian corn also is called cal-
ico corn, flint corn and maize.
Its colors range from red and
maroon to cream and black.
“Consumers don’t want just
one or two colors but as many
as they can get,” Bergefurd said.
“I’m fond of the pinks and
blues. You also can get ears with
kernels in red and green and
white — traditional Christmas
colors.”
Most varieties aren’t eaten,
although some can be ground
into flour or meal, and others,
mostly miniatures, can be used
as popcorn. “It’s pretty starchy
once it matures and doesn’t
have much taste,” Bergefurd
said. Indian corn usually is
offered in bundles of three or
more ears; figure on paying
anywhere from $3 to $5 per
bundle. “In some cases, it’s sold
stalk and all,” Bergefurd said.
“Growers bundle 12 to 20
stalks, pull back the husks, and
with the ears showing, it makes
a pretty arrangement. More and
more of the breeders are work-
ing on stalk coloration, too —
mainly red — to make the dis-
plays even more colorful.”
One trend is integrating
Indian corn, gourds, pumpkins
and squash with ornamental
plants still in the ground, said
Lindgren. “Don’t forget to work
the landscape into your fall dec-
orating,” he said. “Things like
peppers and kales can be blend-
ed into flower gardens. They’re
absolutely gorgeous.”
Lindgren said people are get-
ting more imaginative in using
ornamentals. “Ten years ago it
was petunias and marigolds.
Now it’s sweet potatoes, pep-
pers and leafy vegetables. The
whole seasonal thing has
exploded,” he said.
People tend to pay more for
decorative plants than for those
grown simply for eating, Sears
said. “They’re willing to buy
into the entertainment value.
Pumpkins, the primary exam-
ple.”
This photo taken Sept. 14 shows gourds and Indian corn,
which make great seasonal ornaments, symbolizing the
harvest and gracing dining room tables at Thanksgiving.
Fall decorating continues to grow in popularity with the
average American household spending an average of $45 a
year. That’s second only to Christmas.
Other ornamentals that can
liven up landscapes and homes
include:
• Peppers: The dark green
foliage contrasts nicely with the
many fruit colors, including
some that mature into
Christmas-like reds and greens.
“The fruits of these plants are
edible, although usually
extremely hot and often bitter,
so be cautious about eating
them,” Lindgren said.
• Flowering kale: Its colors
intensify as temperatures drop
in the fall. The green outer
leaves surround an assortment
of crinkled white or reddish-
purple inner leaves, making the
plant look like a large flower.
• Leaf lettuces, radishes,
mustard, spinach and low-grow-
ing herbs: Look for lettuce cul-
tivars with curly leaves, red col-
oration or deeply lobed foliage,
Lindgren said. “These mixes
also include radicchio, endive
and other edible greens.”
• Beans and other vine crops:
Scarlet runner beans often are
placed alongside flower seeds

in garden stores or seed cata-
logs. “Although they are grown
for their showy red flower, the
pods are edible,” Lindgren said.
Squash, gourds, pumpkins and
cucumbers also are vine crops
with lush foliage and showy
blossoms, plus interesting fruit.
• Eggplant: The fruit matures
into many colors, from white,
violet and lavender to the stan-
dard dark black-purple. Shapes
range from egg-like to cylindri-
cal.
• Swiss chard and beets:
Swiss chard has bright and dis-
tinct ribbed leaves with stems
ranging from red to yellow.
“While most people grow beets
for their edible root, the tops
also are edible and can be quite
ornamental, creating interest in
plant borders or salad bowls,”
Lindgren said.
• Sweet potatoes:
Ornamental sweet potatoes
have become popular, primarily
as container plants. “They’re
valued for their trailing vines
with lime-green, purple and
multicolored foliage.”
makes retiring
at 65 harder
BY DAVID PITT
AP PERSONAL FINANCE
WRITER
DES MOINES, Iowa —
Workers in more than half of
U.S. households will likely be
unable to retire at 65 at the
same lifestyle they enjoy
today, a new study says.
The Center for Retirement
Research at Boston College
says its latest analysis of
household financial status
shows 51 percent are at high
risk of falling short of having
enough money in retirement.
That’s up from 44 percent in
2007.
The center’s National
Retirement Risk Index was
developed with funding from
Nationwide Mutual Insurance
Co.
The index was first
released in June 2006, when
43 percent of households were
at risk of falling short of their
preretirement standard of liv-
ing.
The measure was formulat-
ed using the Federal Reserve’s
2004 Survey of Consumer
Finances, a triennial survey of
U.S. households, which col-
lected detailed information on
households’ assets, liabilities
and demographic characteris-
tics.
In the past year, plummet-
ing home values and invest-
ment losses in retirement
accounts have combined to
make matters worse.
“We are clearly facing a
retirement crisis — one that
will continue to grow as
younger workers age,” said
the Center for Retirement
Page 9
Director Alicia H. Munnell, in
a statement. “To overcome
today’s retirement challenges,
people need help understand-
ing financial topics so they
can make reasonable financial
choices throughout their
lives.”
To come up with the latest
index results, the center used
the Federal Reserve’s 2007
Survey of Consumer Finances
and factored in the $7 trillion
decline in equity holdings and
the $3 trillion drop in housing
values over the past year.
Those two asset sources are
key to providing workers with
adequate retirement income
today since most workers do
not have an employer-provid-
ed pension plan. Instead, they
must rely on their own savings
and home equity.
The center concludes that
even if the stock market
bounces back, home values
are unlikely to return to pre-
recession levels.
As Social Security’s full
retirement age moves to 67,
life expectancy increases and
retirement savings continue to
remain at inadequate levels,
the outlook will get worse
over time, Munnell conclud-
ed.
Retiring won’t become
impossible, but it will require
some thoughtful planning,
said John Carter, president of
Nationwide Financial
Distributors Inc. Carter said
many workers will need to
save and invest more, reduce
debt and work longer to main-
tain their standard of living in
retirement.

BLONDIE MARY WORTH

HAGAR THE HORRIBLE DILBERT

Multitasking daughter is STAR TRACKING

driving toward disaster
DEAR ABBY: My daugh-
ter insists that she’s a “multi-
tasker,” too busy to telephone
or text except when she’s
driving. It scares me to be in
the passenger seat while she’s
talking on the phone or pick-
ing up toys the baby has
dropped from his car seat. I
told her I won’t talk to her ABIGAIL
while she’s driving because I
don’t want to be a party to an
accident she might be involved in, so she has
stopped calling me altogether.
Don’t these self-described multitaskers
realize they are operating machines that can
kill them or others while they shift their focus
from the road? A man recently died in a
head-on car crash as he crossed the interstate
line. When the emergency vehicles arrived,
his laptop was still running. What else can I
say to my daughter when she doesn’t “want
to hear about it”? — TERRIFIED MAMA IN
CALIFORNIA
DEAR TERRIFIED: The statistics I
have read indicate that drivers using cell
phones have the same risk of being
involved in an accident as people who have
been drinking. It is sad that your daughter
is so overscheduled that she feels she must
do two things at once. However, until your
daughter is ready to sharpen her maternal
instincts, grow up and stop being defen-
sive, there is nothing you can say that will
cut through the static. I am truly sorry.
DEAR ABBY: My twin sister, “Karina,”
and I will be seniors this year and we’re start-
ing to look at colleges. It has always been
“assumed” that Karina and I would attend the
same college and be roommates. However, I
think it’s time for some separation. We’re
very close and I would like us to attend the
same college, but I think we should consider
having different roommates.

higher education, travel,
publishing, the media, med-
icine and the law could dis-
appoint you today. However,
this is a temporary setback.
Don’t be worried.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to
Feb. 18) Someone older or
in authority over you might
squelch your ideas about
how to share something,
raise funds or deal with the
property of others. This is
just a temporary squelch.
Don’t make a big deal about
things.
PISCES (Feb. 19 to
March 20) It’s easy to feel
lonely and isolated from oth-
ers today. The best way to
handle this is just to do
nothing. Don’t take this seri-
ously. (This feeling will be
gone by tomorrow.)
IF YOU WERE BORN
TODAY: You have a very
physical approach to life.
You’re also an excellent
manager, because you’re
organized and you know
how to delegate. You have
many talents, including
being able to persuade oth-
ers to do your bidding or join
your side. You’re particularly
attentive to details. Testing
new boundaries intrigues
you. Enjoy schmoozing this
year. Next year, you’ll study
or learn something impor-
tant.

Q: I read about a survey
someone did on prayer. It
concluded that it didn’t do
any good to pray when
we’re sick, because people
who didn’t pray got well
just about as often as peo-
ple who did pray. What
would you say about this?
— F.M.
A: I didn’t see this partic-
ular survey although I’ve
seen other surveys that
reached the opposite conclu-
sion. Part of the problem is
that not every prayer is gen-
uine, nor is every prayer
made in accordance with
God’s will. More than once
I’ve visited someone in the
hospital whose case had

seemed hopeless, but who
was now recovering. The
only explanation the doctors
could give was that God
must have intervened. This
doesn’t mean God will
answer every prayer the way
we wish he would, but it
does mean we ought to pray
in times of difficulty and
trust God for the outcome. Nov. 21) People who are Birthdate of: Grace

and effective” (James 5:16).
If God didn’t love us,
prayer would be a futile
exercise. But he does love
us and delights in the
prayers of his people and
wants us to bring our bur-
dens and cares to him. The
proof is that his son gave
his life for us.
Don’t be cynical about
prayer and God. Instead, turn
to him and commit your life
to Jesus Christ. It’s the most
important decision you’ll
ever make.
