The first step is choosing environmentally responsible

Mullin at 633-0236. 811 of the gift inside. Tissue paper alone accounts for a lot of extra
trash. Skipping it means a person will be saving
money and the environment. Here are some other
green cleanup tips:
-Designate a child or adult to gather the
discarded wrapping materials and sort the piles
into trash. Ribbons and bows can be reused, as
can many gift boxes and bags.
-Shred paper items that are bound for the trash
to reduce their volume and require fewer trash
bags for transport.
-Find out if a shipping store will take foam
peanuts and air-filled wraps to be recycled.
-Be sure to collect expired batteries and recycle
them at a facility that does so.
-Christmas trees can be taken down and sent for
mulching. Many communities collect trees after
the season is over for this purpose.
Because there is bound to be some extra
garbage during the holidays, individuals can take
steps to curb trash in other aspects of their lives
this time of the year. Some ideas include using
cloth napkins and actual dishes and cutlery
instead of disposable items. Before purchasing
new gift paper, sort through last year's collection
to see what items can be reused. Cutting the
front off of holiday cards and using them as gift
tags is another way to recycle. CH4

DEVOURING FRUITCAKE FACTS Fax: 839-2498
Toll Free: 1-800-561-1501 www.gable-enterprises.com
The holidays and fruitcake have long been intertwined.
Fruitcakes are often mocked, detested and discarded. Few
gifted foods create such strong derision. However,
fruitcake is tradition. And as most people know, Christmas
is all about tradition. Fruitcake is an
enduring tradition, most simply

stored in an airtight container. If
frozen, their lifespan could be endless.
Jokingly, many families have said
fruitcake is the only food durable
enough to become an heirloom. While
mocked, it may entice a few people to
know just how fruitcake has become a
holiday treat.
The oldest references to fruitcake
date back to Roman times. Ancient
crusaders and hunters consumed
fruitcake made with preserved fruits,
pomegranate seeds, pine nuts, raisins,
and honey. Fruitcake was a durable
commodity that could persevere on
long trips. Because of its combination
of ingredients, fruitcake was also a
good source of energy, much the way a
trail mix is good for today's hikers.
In the 1700s, Europeans baked a
ceremonial fruitcake at the end of the
nut harvest. It was saved and eaten the
following year at the harvest, with the
hopes it would spur another successful
harvest. Fruitcake evolved to more of a
delicacy in the 1800s, even being
served with tea in high society. It is MOTORCYCLES SNOWBLOWERS GENERATORS
rumored that Queen Victoria waited a FROM FROM FROM

of restraint and moderation.
Fruitcake can be an integral part of a

it's being used to block drafts from

THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS
Pet Corner by Clement Clarke Moore or Henry Livingston

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
At The In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads;
Animal Rescue League And mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled down for a long winter's nap,
We speak for those who cannot speak for themselves. When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Looking for a Forever Friend? Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below,
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer,
With a little old driver, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;
"Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen!
On, Comet! on Cupid! on, Donder and Blitzen!
To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!"
As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky,
So up to the house-top the coursers they flew,
With the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too.
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
As I drew in my head, and was turning around,
Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound.
He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot;

His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!

The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath;
He had a broad face and a little round belly,
WHAT IS THE MANDATE OF That shook, when he laughed like a bowlful of jelly.

INSPIRED HOLIDAY GIFTS FROM THE
KITCHEN
If the best gifts come from the heart, certainly the next-best gifts
come from the kitchen. Culinary treats can be perfect presents
for your foodie friends or just about anyone on your list -
neighbors, teachers, and others for whom more elaborate gifts
are neither expected nor required. What's more, the possibilities
are endless and can be adjusted for varying palates, allergies and
preferences. Here are several suggestions for serving up
20% delicious holiday gifts this season.

Re-think your cookies: If you want to put a twist on tradition,
consider some alternatives such as decorating greeting-card-
sized cookies with personalized messages, filling decorative jars
with all of the dry ingredients needed for your favorite cookie
recipe or giving the gift of dough - three different kinds of cookie
dough rolled into logs, wrapped in wax paper and tied at the
ends with festive ribbons.
Take a dip: Dipping store-bought confections such as
* peppermint sticks, candy canes, candied orange peel,
shortbread cookies, or even fresh figs in good-quality chocolate
(a mix of dark, milk and white chocolate is even better!) will
*Valid at participating Wine Kitz retailers
only from December 27 to January 2, 2011.
transform these everyday items into holiday-worthy gifts.
Cannot be combined with any other offer. Think drinks: Make your own mix with ground chocolate and

coated spoons or homemade marshmallows to the mix.
And spice: For people who love to cook, great ingredients make
exquisite gifts. Think about the gift of flavor in the form of
spices, either from the bulk aisle at your favorite upscale grocery
184 Old Hampton Rd. chain or a well-loved specialty retailer. Spices can be purchased
in small amounts and then presented in decorative airtight jars
506-847-2739 with handwritten labels. Other options include your own spice
blends or purchasing whole spices and presenting them along
with the appropriate tool for grinding or grating them.
Themed baskets of food will generate big smiles from everyone
on your holiday list. Here are some ideas that are both simple
and special.
Pasta basket: The centerpiece of this gift could be a jar of your
famous spaghetti sauce, which is surrounded by a package of
fresh pasta, a bulb of garlic and a wedge of Parmesan cheese.
Pizza basket: Start with a package of homemade pizza dough,
add a jar of pizza sauce or pesto, then decorate the basket with a
merry mix of cheeses and popular pizza add-ons, such as
pepperoni, olives, olive oil, garlic, mushrooms, sundried
tomatoes, and small packets of spices, such as oregano or red
pepper flakes.

SEASONAL SONG - HOLIDAY FAVORITE
The song "Winter Wonderland" has become a staple of holiday
radio. Much like "Jingle Bells," "Winter Wonderland" was not
intentionally written to become a Christmas carol, but evolved
into one over time. The song was published in 1934 by composer
Season’s Greetings
Felix Bernard and lyricist Richard B. Smith. Smith resided in the
town of Honesdale, Pennsylvania, and was inspired to write the
& Happy New Year
lyrics of the song after seeing Honesdale Central Park and his
own childhood home blanketed in snow. Smith actually wrote
the lyrics while being treated in the West Mountain Sanitarium
in Scranton, Pennsylvania, for tuberculosis.
BMO Bank of Montreal
Many singers have performed the song throughout the years, so Kim D. Isnor, PFP Quispamsis & Sussex Branches

"Winter Wonderland" has evolved into one of those songs that
inspires visions of snowy splendor. Original lyrics feature a
portion of the song mentioning young lovers being married In the meadow we can build a snowman,

For those who want to enjoy their own winter wonderland and To face unafraid, the plans that we've made,

"Winter Wonderland" In the meadow we can build a snowman,
Sleigh bells ring, are you listening, And pretend that he's a circus clown
In the lane, snow is glistening We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman,
A beautiful sight, We're happy tonight, Until the other kiddies knock him down.
Walking in a winter wonderland. When it snows, ain't it thrilling,
Gone away is the bluebird, Here to stay is a new bird. Though your nose gets a-chilling.
He sings a love song, As we go along, We'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way,
Walking in a winter wonderland. Walking in a winter wonderland. CH2

LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW
Dreaming of a white Christmas? Many people look forward to SPRING HOCKEY 2011
new-fallen snow to add to the picture of the holiday season.
How many, though, give thought to how snow actually forms?
Snowflakes are ice crystals that form in the clouds. Water
vapor freezes and clings to the dust particles in the air. As the
crystals group together, they form snowflakes.
Snowflakes are hexagonal crystals, meaning they always
have six sides. Snowflakes can grow in different forms,
including columns, needles, plates, dendrites, columns with
plates, and irregular shapes. Complex shapes emerge as the
flake moves through differing temperatures and humidity
levels.
When snowflakes melt and refreeze they may come down
from the sky in the form of a ball instead of a flake. These are
known as graupel.
Snowflakes are unique in that no two are the same. Because
they are ice crystals, they are also clear in color. However,
when gathered on the surface of roadways or other items,
they collectively reflect the light and give off that white hue.
A snowflake is often the universal symbol for winter or
wintertime conditions. In Russia, people have long made
paper snowflakes during the Christmas season and hung
them in the windows. A snowflake also was the symbol of the
winter olympics in 2002.
Although snowflakes are cold, snow can actually act as an
insulator. The intricate shapes of snowflakes trap air in 3:15pm - 4:45pm
between the flakes as they pile up. These tiny pockets of air
prevent air from circulating, thus preventing heat from TELEPHONE: 1-888-421-0000

WHY DO WE SEND CHRISTMAS CARDS?

Dating back to the Victorian Days, we find the origin of the
Christmas card. Sir Henry Cole and John Horsley invented a
card that displayed three panels. On these panels, several
pictures are drawn. On the middle panel there is a depiction
of a family at a festive table scene. The side two panels show
an act of Christmas charity, such as clothing the poor. At the
bottom of the card was written "Merry Christmas and Happy Ring in 2011 with our
New Year." Perhaps this origin dates back even a bit further
with something known as "Christmas Pieces." Young British New Year’s Special

ORIGINS OF THE CHRISTMAS TREE
One of the most common symbols of Christmas - at
least in the United States and Canada - is the
Paul Owen
twinkling Christmas tree, which is often depicted Our Little
with piles of shiny gifts under its bottom branches.
The origin of the beloved holiday evergreen has Drummer Boy
been debated for centuries, with some historians
asserting that it has Christian roots and others turned 50!!!
contending that its roots are pagan. However, many
explanations trace the custom of having a Dec 18
decorated evergreen tree inside the home to 16th
century Germany, while others go back 300 years
earlier to a tradition that began with the Miracle Plays
sponsored by local churches.
Happy Birthday!!!
While its specific origin is unclear, we do know that the
Love
Christmas tree tradition spread first across Europe and then Janet & Leslie
throughout the world. In the US, Christmas trees were first
seen in communities with prominent German populations in
the late 18th and early 19th century.
Throughout the world, Christmas trees are a symbol of the
continuation of life through the dark, cold months of winter
and are linked both to the winter solstice and the belief that BILL RANDLES

of the red-and-green Christmas theme have long been debated, Love Janet and Paul,

DISTRICT 6 - LITERACY TIPS
How to support Teen Reading:
-Read to them! You could read stories, poems, articles from a
newspaper or magazine or even the Sunday comics.
-Share! Talk to your teens about what you are reading and
encourage them to talk about what they are reading. Talking
about what you've read makes it meaningful and provides a
bonding moment for you and your teen.

DEAR EDITOR:
Christmas is supposedly the time to be merry, but for many
who live alone it can be the saddest time of the year with
o n s g reeti
nothing but memories of loved ones who have gone from their
lives. If everyone would consider giving one lonely person,
eas ngs whether young or senior, a gift that money can't buy,
s Need a Handyman?
Christmas would hold more warmth.
The gift I am speaking of is "the gift of time"; by taking the
time to make a phone call or a visit to one lonely person, you
could make a difference. In return for that time, I am sure you
JIM’LL FIX IT will receive appreciation. Hopefully you will be inspired by
that appreciation to make more calls or visits.
Such time granted may well give the recipient something to
hold onto as they sit alone over Christmas.
847-5066 This Christmas season, I encourage you to give "the gift of
time".

and other Christmastide visitors varied considerably. The poem
has influenced ideas about St. Nicholas and Santa Claus
beyond the United States to the rest of the English-speaking
world and beyond.
According to legend, A Visit was composed by Moore on a
snowy winter's day during a shopping trip on a sleigh. His
inspiration for the character of Saint Nicholas was a local
Dutch handyman, as well as the historical Saint Nicholas. While
Moore originated many of the features that are still associated
with Santa Claus today, he borrowed other aspects such as the
names of the reindeer. The poem was first published
anonymously in the Troy, New York, Sentinel on December 23,
1823, having been sent there by a friend of Clement Clarke
Moore and was reprinted frequently thereafter with no name
attached. Only later did Moore acknowledge his authorship,
and the poem was included in an 1844 anthology of his works.
Moore had written it for his children, and being a scholar and
professor, did not wish at first to be connected with the poem,
“THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS” - HISTORY but his children insisted that it be included in the anthology.
A Visit from St. Nicholas", also known as "The Night Before Moore's conception of St. Nicholas was borrowed from his
Christmas" and "'Twas the Night Before Christmas" from its friend Washington Irving's, but Moore portrayed his "jolly old
first line, is a poem first published anonymously in 1823 and elf" as arriving on Christmas Eve rather than on Christmas
generally attributed to Clement Clarke Moore, although the Day." As a result "New Yorkers embraced Moore's child-centered
claim has also been made that it was written by Henry version of Christmas as if they had been doing it all their lives."
Livingston, Jr. In An American Anthology, 1787-1900, editor Edmund
The poem, which has been called "arguably the best-known Clarence Stedman reprinted the Moore version of the poem,
verses ever written by an American", is largely responsible for including the German spelling of "Donder and Blitzen" he
the conception of Santa Claus from the mid-nineteenth adopted, rather than the earlier Dutch version from 1823,
century to today, including his physical appearance, the night "Dunder and Blixem". Both phrases translate as "Thunder and
of his visit, his mode of transportation, the number and names Lightning" in English, though the German word for thunder is
of his reindeer, as well as the tradition that he brings toys to "Donner", and the words in modern Dutch would be "Donder en

LIONS CLUB & OTIS MCGARITY
At 80 years of age Otis McGarity was in good health at 210
pounds, standing over six feet tall and working every day as a
bulldozer operator for Debly Construction. He did not need
to work but after his wife of 47 years passed away three years
ago it was lonely at home and he needed something to do. He
loved running a bulldozer and his favourite seat was in a big
yellow “Cat” of the “D” series. Otis had operated heavy
equipment for over 50 years and even after two hip
replacements he still enjoyed the work.
Everything changed after finishing work at the Welsford
interchange on December 9th, 2009. His truck skidded on the
19 Shannex Drive, Quispampsis icy road near the Hammond River Bridge and his spinal cord
Located off Millennium Drive at Exit 141 was severed in the resulting impact with the ditch. Otis’ seat
now is in a powered wheelchair. He was limited use of his
hands and arms and requires 24 hour care. With the aid of
family and friends his house has been adapted for wheelchair
accessibility. His former employer, Debly Construction, paved
an extra wide driveway all the way to the wheelchair ramp at
no cost.

successful fundraising event at the Hampton Resource

Ravings By Mike Hickey
T his Christmas, give the gift of hearing to a

loved one for Christmas memories the whole
family can treasure for years to come. We offer a
"THANKS"
I want to say a great big thank you first to all our wonderful
readers for a great year and secondly a big hug to all our
full range of hearing aids and assistive listening advertisers. I know some will think it strange that I first thank
devices and we base our recommendations on all our free loading readers who pay nothing before I thank the
individual needs, lifestyle and budget. advertisers who actually allow us to pay our bills. The fact is
though, without enthusiastic and loyal readers there would be
MERRY CHRISTMAS
very little value for the advertiser and they would quickly
disappear.
A number of years ago we were visited by a business consultant
(trying to sell us something) who had a pretty close look at
FROM THE STAFF OF what we do. One observation that he made was that we were "A
trusted source of information" and by golly when I thought
KENNEBECASIS VALLEY HEARING CENTRE: about it he was right on. While smart readers might be a bit
suspicious about reading "Ravings" and only the very naive
would trust that "Musings" thing, the entire balance of each and
every community magazine can be read with complete faith
that the news is entirely accurate (barring occasional error)
and without any hidden agenda to try and influence you.
A recent survey of our staff revealed that every respondent was
proud or very proud to say they worked for Ossekeag
Publishing. I assume that this is because they recognize the
importance of the news that we deliver to our communities and
Donna Clack, Rhonda Finlay, and Lisa Reed the amount of positive feedback that we receive from our
readers and advertisers. A recent survey of Debbie and myself,
revealed we were also proud or very proud of the staff that we
get to work with. A great big thank you to you!!!
On behalf of all of us here at Ossekeag, we want to wish
everyone a very, very, Merry Christmas and Season's Greetings.
Mikie now has to get working on his shopping list!! Does anyone
know where I can find 52 large garbage bags full of doggie
treats?? That will take care of the missus!! And for the Jet ... he
just wants peace on earth and a blazing fire in the wood stove,
but he has offered, out of kindness, to help the missus with her
doggie treats if she needs any professional assistance.
As usual we will be closing at noon on Christmas Eve and
return on January 3rd in the New Year. While shutting down for
that long doesn't help the old bottom line, it is a nice break for
281 Hampton Rd., Quispamsis the staff and ourselves after a pretty hectic and busy period

847-3030 who are no longer with us and cherish those who are." 800
