Fairmont Police Department
holds “Shop With A Cop” event
Last weekend the
Fairmont Police Department held its 3rd annual “Shop With A Cop”
event. The program is
one that helps the police
department reach out to
area children and helps
them view peace officers
in a positive way.
Earlier this fall, the
Fairmont Police Department reached out
to local teachers asking for names of students who could benefit
from this program. They
then go through the list
and choose eight to ten
names and the officer’s
wives then contacted the
families.
Last weekend the
children were picked up
by by officers, who then
took them to the Fairmont WalMart. Each
child had their list of family members that they
bought Christmas gifts
for using the funds from
the program.
After shopping, the
officers and the children headed to Subway,
which donated lunches
to them. After lunch the
kids had their picture
taken with the officer and
that photo is later sent
to them along with a gift
certificate so that those
taking part in the event
can purchase something
for themselves.
A big thanks goes out
to Subway, WalMart,
Downtown Kiwanis, Early Risers Kiwanis and the
Fairmont Police Officer
Association for providing the funds for this program.

Mayo Clinic Health System
restricts visitors
Cindy Martens, Education MN Fairmont Member, was one of several teachers and secretaries in
the Fairmont Area Schools that helped the needy
in the community by ringing the bell at Fareway
Foods for the Salvation Army.
Mayo Clinic Health
System announced it is
implementing visitor restrictions at its hospitals in
Fairmont, Mankato, New
Prague, Springfield, St.
James and Waseca in order to protect patients and
staff and limit the spread
of influenza (flu) and other illnesses. The Lutz Wing
in Fairmont is included in
this restriction.
the spread of influenza
and other illness by taking
a few simple steps. Precautions include regularly
washing your hands, covering your cough, staying
home if you are sick and
contacting your health
care provider before going
to a clinic or emergency
department if you have
flu-like symptoms,” says
Drahota.
The restrictions are:
•Visitors are limited to
immediate family members (patient spouse or
significant other, parent,
sibling or child)
•Only two visitors per
patient at a time
•No one who is ill (has
symptoms of influenza
including fever or chills,
muscle or body aches,
sore throat, cough, stuffy
nose, headache and fatigue) will be permitted to
visit.
“In addition, we urge
everyone to get the flu vaccine as soon as possible in
order to protect yourself
for the rest of the season.
Vaccination is especially
important for children,
adults 65 and older, pregnant women and people
with asthma, diabetes and
other long-term conditions who are at high risk
from flu complications.”
These restrictions apply
to all patients in all areas
of the hospitals and are effective until further notice.
“By restricting visitors
in this way we can help
protect patients and others who are most susceptible to contracting influenza,” says Roger Drahota,
registered nurse and infection preventionist at
Mayo Clinic Health System in Fairmont. “We realize this may cause inconvenience for some people,
but we are taking this step
in the best interest of the
health of our patients, visitors and staff members.”
The teachers and the secretaries in the Fairmont Area Schools sponsored a food drive in November during American Education Week to help
the needy in the community.
The staff in both the Jr/Sr High and Elementary
Schools were generous with their donations.
Pictured delivering the goods to the Salvation
Army were (l to r): Mary Granheim, President of
the Fairmont Educational Support Personnel Association; Major JoAnn Hixenbaugh, Fairmont
Salvation Army; and Bob Millette, President of
Education Minnesota Fairmont.
Most experts believe
that flu viruses spread
mainly by droplets made
when people with flu
cough, sneeze or talk.
These droplets can land
in the mouths or noses of
people who are nearby.
Less often, a person might
also get flu by touching a
surface or object that has
flu virus on it and then
touching their own mouth,
eyes or possibly their nose.
“Getting the flu vaccine
is one of the most effective
ways each of us can avoid
getting the flu and spreading the illness to others,”
says Drahota. “Supplies of
the flu vaccine are plentiful and readily available
from your local health care
provider or other consumHospitals and other er outlets, including many

Nicole Simpson’s promotion to VP of Retail

experience in the banking industry.
Simpson started with
Bank Midwest in 2012 as
Learning and Development Manager focusing
on training and developing the Retail Banking
division and has had a
tremendous impact improving the consistency
that our team has in delivering products and
services.
“Nicky’s background
with other financial institutions and most recent experience with
Bank Midwest have

focus on our customers

Ophthalmologist joins
MCHS in Fairmont
Always a small-town girl
at heart, Anna Kitzmann,
M.D., felt most at home in
a small, close-knit community. That’s why she attended Carleton College
in Northfield, Minnesota,
and continued on to Mayo
Medical School in Rochester, Minnesota, which, as
a city is fairly large, but as
a medical school is much
more intimate. Now Dr.
Kitzmann, who started in
the Ophthalmology Department at Mayo Clinic
Health System in Fairmont on December 15th,
and her husband are settling into their new life in
Fairmont.
“I’m grateful to be here
in Fairmont and to have
this opportunity,” says Dr.
Kitzmann. “I’m proud to
be a part of Mayo Clinic.”
Dr. Kitzmann grew
up in Texas and received
much of her ophthalmology inspiration from her
father, who is also an ophthalmologist. During her
grade school years, Dr.
Kitzmann fully realized
her love for science and
interacting with others.
She says medicine was a
good career to merge both
of those interests. Plus, Dr.
Kitzmann loves helping
people with a variety of
needs.
“Everyone values vision, so helping others improve or retain their eyesight is very rewarding,”
adds Dr. Kitzmann. “I like
seeing patients of all ages
and having the opportu-
nity to conduct surgeries
and clinic consultations.”
Dr. Kitzmann is certified by the National Board
of Medical Examiners and
the American Board of
Ophthalmology. She completed her residency at
Mayo Clinic in Rochester
and her fellowship at the
University of Iowa, where
she taught and practiced
for more than five years.
Dr. Kitzmann has a special
interest in caring for cornea issues, and outside of
work, she enjoys exercise,
cooking and gardening.
“Adding Dr. Kitzmann
to the eye clinic creates
better access to expert vision care for patients,” says
Marie Morris, M.D., Mayo
Clinic Health System in
Fairmont medical director. “She is joining a strong
team, and we look forward to the benefit of her
knowledge and skills.”

Essential Oils
for the Holidays
Let’s face it, whether
you’re a hopeless romantic about the holidays, as I
am, one who can’t wait for
the holiday music to stop,
or the festive soul who celebrates till the cows come
home; all of us suffer, in
one way or another, from
the inevitable physical,
mental and emotional fallout that the holidays bring
with them.
Stress levels during the
holidays are off the charts,
with all the planning,
decorating,
shopping,
food preparation, traveling and occasional over
spending. But the good
news is that you can turn
that “stessometer” back a
notch and help pull your
Holiday train back on the
tracks with calming essential oils such as lavender,
ylang ylang and bergamot,
to name a few. If the stress
of the season makes your
head spin or your tummy
out of sorts, turn to oils
like peppermint, ginger
and rosemary. I also want
to mention that there are
also wonderful blends of
essential oils, and several
of them are my “go to oils”
for stress, headaches and
any tummy issues.
Exhaustion is sure to
set in during the holidays,
but when it does, DO NOT
turn to energy drinks that
make you jittery; choose
natural energy products
that will enhance your focus, give you energy and
allow you to get more
done; with no side effects.
You will also need to boost
your immune system and
fuel your body with high
quality food based nutritional supplements; your
objective being to make
your body hostile to colds,
flu and disease in general.
Make sure you keep hydrated, watch the sugar intake and budget adequate
rest into your busy schedule.
With all the gatherings,
handshakes, hugs and
kisses that expose us to
germs during the holidays,
I really appreciate the antibacterial and antiviral
properties of essential oils
and find them my best
defense during the cold
and flu season. It’s Important to know that essential
oils are lipid soluble, allowing them to penetrate
the cell where the virus
hosts; whereas antibiotics cannot penetrate the
cell membrane. Knowing
that essential oils are safe
for everyone in my family
including my great grandson Kaylor is very comforting and wonderfully
convenient. You will certainly want your children
feeling well and ready to
go back to school after the
holidays, and a great way
to help with that is to be
using these products on a
daily basis.
You will definitely need
products that will aide
with “Post-Holiday Digestive Recovery” and the
lesser known “Post-Holiday Toxic lymph system
flush”….and if you haven’t
needed either of these,
then, you haven’t celebrated the holidays! It is
imperative; both for your
health and comfort, to get
your body systems back to
normal as soon as possible
and there are great natural
products to aid in this process. Many of these products can be used before,
during and after eating to
provide comfort, and aide
in the natural process of
digestion.
For those suffering
from Seasonal Affective
Disorder at this time of
year, I would highly recommend that you consider using ginger oil to
help you through these
times. For others suffering from the holiday blues
or depression, there are a
host of essential oils such
as peppermint, geranium
and cedarwood; that if diffused are comforting and
uplifting. Actually, citrus
oils are also great mood
lifters and sometimes referred to as “Sunshine in
a Bottle” because of their
mood lifting abilities; a
great reason why many
turn to those oils to overcome the winter blues.
(usually coal tar) and definitely don’t contain the
same properties as pure
essential oils. Some products that are not pure essential oils contain chemicals that are extremely
toxic; so I ask that you be
an informed consumer.

Keep in mind that there
is a HUGE difference between essential oils and
fragrances. Pure essential
oils are produced from
plants; whether by steam
distillation or cold press
are very complex, with
hundreds of constituents and have a variety of
health benefits. Fragrances on the other hand are
produced in a laboratory
with a petrochemical base

Christmas Therapy
In my younger years I got a little crazy preparing
for the holidays. Working, having four children and
two families we tried to please meant that by the time
Christmas arrived, I was worn to a frazzle, didn’t have
much Christmas spirit left and generally had forgotten
the real meaning of Christmas!
A good friend of mine gave me a little book several
years ago entitled Christmas Therapy by Karen Katafiasz. The author gives some gentle, constructive, self help
therapy that helps you rediscover in your own heart the
magic and the meaning of this special time. I put this
little treasure of a book on my coffee table and several
times during the season I stretch myself out on the davenport with my Christmas tree lit and read this book. It
helps put my priorities in order. There is one quote I find
especially helpful it is, “Simplify your celebration. Big is
not always best. Expensive is not always valuable. Time
consuming is not always lasting.”
The recipe I am sharing today is the quiche we served
at the bridal shower brunch. It’s pretty simple to make
yet looks and tastes impressive! I promised my guests I
would print the recipe.
Basic Quiche Lorraine
9- inch unbaked pie shell
1 1/2 cups (6 oz) grated Swiss cheese
8 slices of crisp bacon, crumbled
3 eggs
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup milk
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp dry ground mustard
Brown the pie shell @ 350 degrees. I only left it in the
oven for 10 minutes, just until it barely begins to brown
Sprinkle cheese and bacon on the bottom of the
crust.
Whisk the remaining ingredients together and pour
into the pie shell.
Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes or until firm and
brown, until a knife inserted in the center comes out
clean. Let rest for 8-10 minutes before cutting. Serves 6.
When I am having company in the morning, I brown
the crust the night before and then make the filling in
the morning. I have made my own homemade pie crust
but have also used the frozen pre-made ones which
works just fine.
To make this basic recipe not so basic, you can substitute mushrooms and onions, or crab meat and fresh
asparagus, for the bacon. I have made it all three ways
and like them all.
Take a nap and have a very Merry Christmas!

Ask A Trooper:
Tire Talk
Keep your landscape deer free
Deer damage to ornamental plants is an increasing problem. Deer
populations in neighborhoods have grown rapidly due to abandoned
farms, hunting restrictions and suburban
sprawl. And they are dining on expensive suburban landscapes - especially in areas with heavy
snowfall in the woods.
In those areas, front and
backyard plantings can
serve as easy winter forage.
“Deer are selective
feeders that eat leaves
from flowers, shrubs
and ornamental trees,”
explains Tchukki Andersen, BCMA, CTSP* and
staff arborist with the
Tree Care Industry Association. “Damage to larger trees can extend up to
7 feet off the ground.”
In some areas, deer
damage peaks in winter
when snow cover reduces the food supply. Most
areas with overpopulated deer herds experience
problems
year-round.
The availability of natural food sources and the
taste preferences of individual deer make deerproofing a landscape difficult task in many areas.
“Deer will eat almost

any plant rather than
starve,” says Andersen, “so
damage control measures
will be needed in addition
to careful plant selection.
Use of fencing and repellents can help control deer
damage to landscapes.”
A fence is the most effective control against
deer damage. An 8-foot
fence is generally sufficient to deter deer, and
lower fences can work if
they slant away from your
yard. Tree protectors or
shelters also prevent deer
from browsing on young
trees. Made of polypropylene tubing, plastic tree
wrap or woven-wire mesh
cylinders, netting can
be used to protect individual or group plantings.
The netting can be left on
year-round if it’s attached
loosely at the base to allow for plant growth, but
should be monitored frequently.
Repellents may help
deter deer, but they do not
eliminate damage completely. Homemade repellents include rotting eggs
(mix two eggs with a gallon of water and spray the
mixture on ornamentals).
The eggs rot on the plants
and the smell repels deer.
Human hair hung in mesh
bags makes a simple re-
pellent. Hang the hair bags
on the outer branches of
trees about a yard apart,
and replace them monthly. Bars of strong-smelling
soap hung in the same
way will also work. This is
a good way to make use of
all those aromatic Christmas gift soaps you don’t
plan to use. Repellents
containing predator urine
or spray-on, soap-based
mixtures usually only last
a few weeks, depending
on the weather.
Once deer taste your
garden, it is difficult to
rid them of the habit. Replacing your current mix
of trees and shrubs with
plants that are less appealing will help move the
herd along to other sites.
The Tree Care Industry
Association recommends
planting trees that have a
history of surviving areas
of heavy deer activity, such
as:
Best Trees
Bottlebrush
buckeye, downy serviceberry,
shadbush, Allegheny serviceberry, pinion pine,
Chinese paper birch, ‘heritage’ heritage birch, paper birch, Japanese false
cypress, Japanese cedar
and Colorado blue spruce.
Best Shrubs
and Climbers
Larger, tall shrubs
tend to withstand deer
browsing better than
low-growing ones because they have more
leaves, making them
able to withstand some
defoliation, and taller
plants are out of reach.
Try these shrubs: bearberry, pawpaw, boxwood,
caryopteria,
American bittersweet,
red osier dogwood, Japanese plum-yew, creeping wintergreen, John T.
Morris holly, Lydia Morris hollies, leucothoe, European privet, Japanese
andromeda,
Virginia
creeper, blueberry elder,

box, and rose of Sharon.
Check with your local garden center or tree
care company for a list of
trees and shrubs in your
area that are the least appealing to deer.
An easy way to find a
tree care service provider
in your area is to use the
“Locate Your Local TCIA

this service by calling

My First
Christmas Tree
Mom sent me a photo
a few weeks back that really brought back some
fond memories of Christmases past for me. This
photo was the Christmas
of 1965, my first Christmas in this world and
one that had all kinds
of special memories for
me. I can remember the
Christmas trees we had,
much like the one in the
picture. It wasn’t always
the biggest or fullest tree,
but to me it was the best
Christmas tree around
each year. Since my
mother was from Germa-
to have tinsel on the tree
to add to the brilliance
of the tree (back then
we weren’t as concerned
about potential hazards
of eating tinsel!). And at
the top of the tree we had
this amazing red plastic
and aluminum star that
had a bright red bulb
in the middle. We used
that star for many years.

she finally had to throw it

My first Christmas was

two gifts that were given
to me by my grandparents (one was a complete
surprise to everyone in

And all these things take
lots of cash as everybody
knows.
So often I get way down,
and feelin’ awful blue,
It seems the future’s disappeared - I don’t know
what to do.
But then when everything was black, the worst
they’d ever been,
I saw a picture on TV, a
child so very thin.
His legs were just like
toothpicks, his arms were
thinner still,
Of food, they said in all
his life he’d never had his
fill.
His eyes were sunken in
his head and showed he’d
lost all hope.
I thought, when nearly
starved to death, could any
child cope?
And there beside him,
filled with love, his mother
shed a tear.
And longed for just a
crust of bread to ease away
his fear.
O Lord, when children
such as this are starving every day,
And
hundreds
die
around the clock as greedy
warlords’ prey;
When parents are so
beaten down by those who
never care,
I find it hard to grumble
about troubles I must bear.
Instead, my thoughts
take wing to a different far
off land,
Where I see another
mother by her newborn
child stand.
Her tender touch is just
the same, her love is uncon-

And if she could she’d

But God in His great wisdom had a very different
plan,
To give true peace and

But, oh, it was a costly gift
that claimed the life of one.
With love so great his
sacrifice was gladly, freely
done.
If he would give his very

Then, I must take a second look to see what I can

Birds flew here and

and that way, each a wondrous gift for this watcher.
When I was a boy, tethered to territory, I’d watch
the geese overhead as they
winged their way away
from me. I wished I could
fly with them--to see what
they saw.

worth bookmarking.
Q-and-A
Wayne Sather of Albert
Lea wrote, “I was thinking
of buying a good pair of
binoculars. Could you give
me any advice about what
to look for?”
I have endless advice.
Some of it good. I’ll cover
a few basics, without delving too much into the details, as they are where the
devil lives. Two numbers
identify binoculars. The
first is the magnification
power and the second is
the diameter of the front
lenses in millimeters. For
example, 8 x 42 binoculars
make objects appear to be
8 times closer than seen
with the naked eye.
Higher power doesn’t
always mean a better look.
Binoculars with higher
magnification
amplify
movement, making steady
viewing difficult. Lower
magnification provides a
wide field of view and is
easier to hold steady. Although high magnification sounds attractive, 7
and 8-power (and maybe
10) binoculars are easier
to use and often more
practical.
The second number
refers to the diameter of
the objective lenses (those
closest to the object being
viewed). The 8 X 42 binoculars have objective lenses
measuring 42 millimeters.
The diameter of these
lenses largely determines
how much light binoculars
gather. More light means a
brighter view, particularly
in low-light conditions.
The bigger the objective
lenses, the heavier the
binoculars. Compact binoculars aren’t as bright as
full-sized bins, especially
in low-light conditions
due to their small objective lenses.
Porro prism binoculars
offer good optics for the
money, but lack the durability and compact styling of roof prism models.
I find roof prisms more
user-friendly. You get
what you pay for in optics,
but $500 binoculars aren’t
necessarily twice as good
as those costing $250. A
premium is paid for minor
incremental gains in optical performance.
Advances in optics have
created outstanding binoculars in the $200 to $500
range. Most are designed
with longer eye relief that
allows viewing comfort for

ers. Eye relief refers to how
far back from an eyepiece
your eye can be and still
see the whole field of view.
If you wear glasses look
for binoculars that offer at
least 15 millimeters of eye
relief. The eyecups can be
folded, twisted or slid up
and down on the eyepiece
of the binoculars. If you’re
an eyeglass wearer using
binoculars, you’ll want
to have the eyecup in the
down position. Glasses
create a buffer between
your eyes and lenses of
the bins. Retracting the
eyecups puts your eyes at
the right distance from the
ocular lens. This gives the
widest field of view.
If you don’t wear glasses, the eyecups should be
fully extended to touch
your face comfortably and
block unwanted light. Adjusting the focus on one
eye (usually the right) with

& yours!
It’s important that you
find a pair that fits your
hands and eyes comfortably. Use a strap or harness when employing
the bins. Avoid zoom and
fixed focus bins. Take prospective binoculars for a
test drive. A good brand
name is a good idea.

a diopter compensates for
differences between your
eyes, providing the clearest image.
Shut your right eye (or
cover the objective lens
with your hand), leaving
your left eye open. Use the
center knob to focus on a
distinctive object (I use
signs) about 30 feet away
until it becomes sharp.
Next, shut your left eye and
leave your right eye open.
Look at the same object
and turn the diopter ring
until the image is sharp.
Note the setting. The binoculars are now correctly
calibrated for your vision.
This will keep your eyes
from having to work too
hard. From that point, use
the center focus to adjust
both eyes while viewing.

Collecting
By Larry Cox
Christmas Seals
Q: While cleaning out
my mom’s desk, I found
about a dozen sheets of
Christmas seals from
the 1950s. I plan to
sell them at a garage
sale and wonder how
I should price them. -Donna, Mitchell, S.D.
A:
Occasionally,
sheets of Christmas
Seals pop up at shops
and antiques malls. Even
though they are collectible, prices have remained fairly stagnant.
Most of the examples I
have seen from the 1950s
generally sell for about a
dollar a sheet.
***
Q: My wife has a collection of 25 to 30 Byers
Carolers, all in original
boxes and in good condition. We have downsized and are looking
to sell them. Do you
know of anyone in the
secondary market who
deals in them? -- Ralph,
Coventry, R.I.
A: I made several calls,
and it seems that no one
I contacted is in the market to buy Byers Carolers. I next monitored
eBay, where several dozen are posted for sale.
This might be your best
bet. In my opinion, the
Byers Carolers that I’ve
seen are of fairly recent
vintage, most from the
1990s. In other words, I
don’t think these Christmas caroler figurines are
quite old or rare enough
to be in much demand
with serious collectors.
***
Q: I have a copy of
Charles Dickens’ “A
Christmas Carol” published by Dodd, Mead
& Company in 1935. It
is illustrated by H.M.
Brock. I am curious
about how much it is
worth. -- Grimes, Kokomo, Ind.
A: I found a copy of this
edition of “A Christmas
Carol” at The Bookstall,
www.bookstall.com, for
$55. Depending on the
condition of the one you
have, it could be worth a
little more or a little less.
Keep in mind that what
something is priced at
and what it eventually
sells for are sometimes
two different things.
***
Q: I have inherited a
collection of 160 Danish Christmas plates,
including some duplicates. My big question
is, should I keep them
or sell them? -- Jessica,
Ramona, Calif.
A: Our economy is
still sluggish, so unless
you need the money, I
suggest you keep them
until the collectible marketplace improves. You
might monitor eBay to
see what current values
are like.
***
Q: I have a Decca recording of Bing Crosby’s “White Christmas.”
I have been offered $25
for it. Should I sell the
record or keep it? -Paul, Davenport, Iowa
A: By all means, sell it.
Your recording is worth
only a couple of dollars.
Millions of copies were
sold, and it is not rare.
TO ALL
Times may have changed
but one thing is still
the same – sending
holiday greetings to
friends old and new.
It’s a pleasure to wish
you happy holidays.

Tips to Ward Off
Holiday Heartburn
(StatePoint) Lights, music, family, boughs of holly
-- the holidays are known
for many pleasant sights

odd schedules and overindulgence in rich foods can
mean an upset stomach,
heartburn and indigestion
for some celebrants.
Take steps to make the
holidays more pleasant on
your stomach:
balance. Instead of masking symptoms such as acid
indigestion, upset stomach, nausea, heartburn
or a hangover, try a homeopathic medicine that
works with the body to alleviate discomfort.
For example, Boiron
makes dissolvable pellets called Nux vomica for
symptomatic relief. The
sweet-tasting pellets melt
in your mouth without
water, and won’t bother
an already upset stomach.
Be attentive to the body’s
signals and use it at the
first sign of symptoms.
For a natural indigestion
remedy or natural hangover remedy, try it after
too much coffee, alcohol, spicy or rich food, or
when feeling drowsy after
a big meal. More information can be found at www.

Top 20 Update: The
Season of Miracles

The Christmas Season
is a wonderful time to focus on miracles and blessings in our lives. First and
foremost, there is the miracle of Christmas, the reason for this season. “The

theatre, television & radio often tell stories and
reflect on miracles during this special season. In
The Christmas Carol by
Charles Dickens, Scrooge
experiences the miracle
of a change in attitude,
when he joyfully awakens on Christmas morning, a changed man. Then
there’s George Bailey in
Frank Capra’s It’s A Wonderful Life, where he experiences the miracle
of realizing how much
he matters to his family,
friends, community, and
what a wonderful life he
has. Also, there is Miracle on 34th Street and so
many other great stories
of miracles and Christmas
blessings. The Jewish celebration of Hanukah, The
Festival of Lights, is about
an important miracle in
the Jewish tradition.

gratitude, but some of the
best gifts are not found
under the Christmas tree
but in warm smiles, joyful greetings and loving
words spoken by the people around us. As I reflect
on this past year I am so
grateful for so many blessings and miracles in my
life. As many of you know
I was diagnosed with lymphoma last February, but
today and am free of this
dreaded disease and have
completed chemo and radiation treatments. I am
so grateful to my Creator,
my wife, my family, both
immediate & extended,
to my friends, co-workers,
my doctors & other caring
medical professionals and
this community. I have received so much amazing
support, wonderful care,
kind words, and encouragement throughout this
year. All of these wonderful people have helped
me succeed and realize
that my life matters, that I
matter. In the next week
or so we will be blessed
with our first grandchild
and then again another
grandchild in March! Yes,
these are miracles that
I am so blessed with in
my life. There are many,
many more too numerous
to mention here, but I do
believe that what we focus
on expands. If we focus on
the blessings & miracles in
our lives and express gratitude, more will show up
for us.
life and express appreciation to others. The people
around me have offered
so much love and support
and made me feel that I
really matter. They really
matter to me and I want to
express my deep appreciation to them.
So during this miraculous Christmas Season
here’s what I recommend:
1. Look for miracles
and blessings in your life
and celebrate them with
the people around you.
2. Express appreciation to those around you,
who love, support, and
help and encourage you,
as well as those you know
or meet who really need
a kind word or helping
hand. Tell them all how
much they all matter and
realize how much you are
a gift to others in this special season of grace.
3. Keep the miraculous Christmas spirit all
year long like Scrooge in
The Christmas Carol when
he awakens on Christmas
morning with “joy and love
in his heart. A changed
man, Scrooge now treats
everyone with kindness,
generosity, and compassion; he now embodies the
spirit of Christmas. And it
was always said of him
that he knew how to keep
Christmas if any man alive
possessed the knowledge”
And as tiny Tim said in the
last line, “God bless us everyone”*
It has been very important to me to look for the
miracles and blessings in
my life, even when I wasn’t
feeling so well or struggling mentally or emotionally. In Top 20 terms,
looking for the good in
my life helps me get back
above the line. Sometimes it takes real focus to
be positive when things
don’t seem to be going
your way. That is when it

One Last Indulgence Before Your New Year’s
Resolutions Kick In
(StatePoint) After weeks
of yuletide indulgence, it’s
time to think about New
Year’s resolutions. Before
jumping the gun on a regimen of deprivation, indulge one last time.
Forget cronuts, cake
pops
and
cupcakes.
There’s another chic pastry that deserves its day -the madeleine! These classic seashell-shaped cakes

Ingredients
• 12 Tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup semisweet or bittersweet chocolate chips
(or 4 ounces chopped
semisweet chocolate)
• 1 Tbsp instant espresso powder dissolved in 1⁄3
cup warm water (or 1⁄3

Madeleine
Directions
• Place a rack in the
center of the oven and pre-
heat to 325 degrees F. Coat
two 12-shell pans with
baking spray, or melt an
additional 4 tablespoons
butter and brush a little in
each mold.
• Place butter, sugar,
chocolate and espresso in
a two-quart microwavable
glass bowl. Microwave on
low for one to two minutes. Then stir mixture
with a whisk until smooth.
If butter isn’t melted, microwave for 15-second
intervals, stirring after
each, until smooth. (Alternatively, combine these
ingredients in the top of
a double boiler over simmering water and stir with
a whisk until smooth. Remove from heat.)
• Let mixture cool for
three to four minutes.
Then add eggs, one at a
time, whisking after each
addition until completely
blended. Add flour and
cocoa, whisking thoroughly. The mixture should be
very dark, thick and shiny.
• Using a 1 1⁄2-inch-diameter scoop or teaspoon,
fill shell molds with batter
until almost full. Gently
press batter to distribute
evenly.
• Bake for 10 to 13 minutes, until madeleines puff
New Year’s Cheddar Cheese Scones
Cheese scones from
New Zealand make
perfect holiday snacks.
Serve them as bite-sized
hors d’oeuvres, or as an
accompaniment to the
main meal if you are
planning light fare.
Note: Be sure to work
the dough quickly with
light fingers to prevent
the butter from softening.
For the flakiest scones,
manipulate dough briefly and keep it cold. Place
it back in the refrigerator
for a short time if it begins to warm up.
up and no shiny spots remain in centers. Small
cracks may appear, but be
careful not to over-bake.
• Remove pans from
oven and let cool on a wire
rack for two to three minutes, then invert and tap
madeleines onto the rack.
Let cool completely.
1. Mix flour, salt, baking
powder and cayenne in
large bowl. Cut in chilled
butter with pastry cutter
or fingers. Work quickly to
keep dough cold.
2. Mix cheese into
dough. Gradually add milk
while mixing with fingers
until you have soft, workable, non-sticky dough.
(You may not need all the
milk.) Knead gently until
dough holds together and
feels soft.
3. Cut dough in half,

Chocolate Glaze
Directions
• Place chocolate in
a 2-quart microwavable
glass bowl or measuring
cup. Microwave on low for
one to two minutes. Stir
with a whisk until smooth.
If chocolate isn’t melted,
microwave for 15-second
intervals, stirring after
each, until smooth.
• Place waxed paper
on a cookie sheet or large
wire rack. Hold madeleines by their narrow
ends and dip one-third in
the warm chocolate glaze.
Scrape the flat side along
the side of the bowl to remove excess. Place on the
waxed paper and let glaze
set, 30 to 60 minutes.

Yoga Tips To Help You Keep Calm And Stress-Free
(NAPS)—Life can be
stressful. Whether it’s our
jobs, family, relationships,
holiday craziness, mishaps or finances—stress
can be there. But we CAN
manage it. Whether it’s
simple measures you take
daily to reduce your stress
levels in a matter of minutes or voluntary insurance to help provide cash
benefits when you experience an illness or injury,
there are ways to keep
calm and stress-free.
The Aflac Duck partnered with celebrity yoga
instructor and expert Kristin McGee to share simple
ways to relieve stress this
season:
• Be present. Yoga helps
you stay present and in the
moment, and that is the
best present you can give
yourself or anyone during
the holidays.
• Preventative. The
more range of motion you
have in your joints, the

easier it is to move freely
and stay injury-free. Yoga
keeps you flexible and
helps prevent injuries.
•
Just
breathe.
Breathing is essential to
yoga. Breathe in and out
of your nose using slow,
deep, steady breaths. Inhale on a count of four
then exhale on a count of
four. This calms the parasympathetic nervous system, which lowers cortisol
levels and stress.
• Beat the blues. Backbends open the heart and
keep our spirits lifted. Try
opening up your chest and
taking a deep full breath to
boost your mood.
• You and only you.
Never compare yourself
to anyone else or compete
with anyone during yoga
class. In yoga, you can
learn to stand on your own
two feet, which makes you
more confident and helps
you stress less about the
choices you make.
• Focus. Focusing helps
you de-stress. When the
mind is scattered in a million directions, it’s hard to
stay calm, centered and
stress-free. Find a spot
to focus on or balance in
a tree pose as you watch
your breath and notice the
mind and body releasing
stress.
• Fitness. One of the
best ways to stay fit all year
long is yoga. All you need
is your body, breath and a
yoga mat or towel.
• Strength. Yoga helps
build strength in the muscles and the bones.
• Flexibility. Yoga opens
up the body like no other
form of exercise. Between
the postures themselves
and the emphasis on the
breath, your flexibility and
mobility will get better and
better with yoga.
• Sleep. Yoga can help
you rest easier by letting
go of excess tension in
the mind and body. Lie
on your back with feet together and knees open to
the sides like a butterfly
shape, place your hands
on your belly, watch your
breath and let your body
relax into a deep state of
rest.
• Circulation. Yoga
stimulates the lymphatic
system, which keeps the
fluids moving throughout
the body, which can help
you fight off colds and the
flu.
• Go “Om.” The next
time you’re feeling frazzled, let out a giant “Om.”
The sound stabilizes your
nervous system and cen-
ters you.
• Stretch it out. When
you’re tense, your body
stiffens and makes you uptight. Lift your arms above
you and stretch your fingers to the ceiling.
• Twist and shout.
Twists release tension
whether you’re standing,
seated or lying down.
• Hang upside down.
Doing a standing-forward
bend or downward dog
lets the blood flow to your
brain to help you think
better and stress less.
• Moving meditation.
Take a walk outside and
watch your steps or link
your breath to your movement with a few sun salutations.
Tips On Starting A More
Nutritious Lifestyle
NAPS)—A
growing
number of men are enjoying a lifestyle that
focuses on a diet built
around nutritious, whole
foods. Here are some tips
to help you get started.
• Go with fresh vegetables when possible. They
tend to be full of vitamins
and low in calories. As a
bonus, they can help you
meet your daily fiber target.
• Keep your alcohol
intake moderate. Too
much alcohol can mean
added sugar and filling
ergy levels. Many find the
best way to do this is with
three main meals and
three substantial snacks.
• Don’t forget exercise and rest. According to the Centers for
Disease Control, adults
ages 18 and over (including older adults) need at
least 2½ hours of moderate aerobic activity
each week and musclestrengthening exercises
twice a week.
Quality sleep—seven
to eight hours a night for
adults—is also impor-
your liver with toxins. For
men, limit your intake to
two drinks a day.
• Make your grains
whole grains. Eating
three or more servings
of whole grains each day
can help you achieve a
healthy diet. Also, when
possible, choose brown
rice over white rice.
• Try eating five to six
small meals throughout
the day. This helps to prevent you from skipping
meals and overeating. It
also supports steady en-
tant. It aids in the ability to process information, restore your body’s
strength and repair muscles.
• Snack smart. Don’t
overlook convenience as
a factor when it comes
to constructing a healthy
diet. Foods or products
that contribute the nutrients needed and are
easy and enjoyable to
consume have a better
chance of being part of a
man’s diet over the long
haul.
There are many relaxing
postures in yoga that open
up the body and release
tension and stress. McGee
likes to say, “A downward
dog a day keeps the doctor away” because practicing yoga keeps you strong,
flexible, focused, relaxed
and more open in your
body and mind.

Winter Sports
Always wear appropriate and proper-fitting
protective gear, including a helmet when skiing,
sledding, snowboarding
or playing hockey.
Wear layers of closefitting clothing; keep
scarves tucked in.
Fight Frostbite
Be aware of the potential for frostbite, which
can be associated with
hypothermia and require emergency medical care. Children can be
at a greater risk because
they lose heat from their
skin more rapidly.
The areas most prone
to frostbite are the nose,
ears, hands, feet, face
and head. Appropriate
clothing can help reduce
the risk of frostbite.
Snow Removal
According to the U.S.
Consumer Product Safety Commission, more
than 16,000 people are
treated in emergency
rooms annually for injuries sustained while removing snow manually;
more than 6,000 while
using a snowblower.
To clear snow safely:
•Remove twigs, rocks
and toys or other items
from your driveway and
sidewalks before the
snow starts.
•Check with your physician and be sure you
are healthy enough for
strenuous activity.
•Dress appropriately,
including a head covering, mittens or gloves,
socks and slip-resistant
shoes.
•Clear snow early and
often and pace yourself;
take frequent breaks and
stay hydrated.
•Use an appropriate
shovel for your height
and ability and use
proper lifting technique.
Don’t twist and throw the
snow over your shoulder.
•If you use a snowblower, protect your
eyes and ears with safety
glasses and earplugs, especially with gas-powered models.
•Never put your hand
inside the machine. If
it jams, turn it off and
remove the jam with a
solid object.
•Do not leave the device unattended when it
is turned on.
•Never add fuel when
the engine is running.
•Stay away from the
engine. It can be hot
enough to burn.
•Be aware of the power cord, if using an electric model, so you don’t
trip over it.
•Never remove any
safety devices.
•Keep children 15 and
young­
er indoors when
snowblowers are in use.

Top 20 Update:
Staying Above the Line
Guest Columnist
Beth Haskins, Top 20 Committee Member
“Happy Holidays!”
Sometimes, we take for
granted that this season
is full of joy, food/gifts in
abundance, family, and
good times. Just watch
commercials for inspiration. However, for some,
this season can be VERY
challenging. Not to be a
Debbie Downer, but there
are a lot of stressors to
consider:
Seasonal Affective Disorder (depression)
Raised
expectations
(gift giving and receiving,
decorations, keeping up
with the Jones)
Financial burdens (no
money now or when you
see the grand totals spent
after the fact)
Minimal or no shelter
or food
Increased alcoholism
and drug abuse (self-medicating to get through it all)
Increased
domestic
violence
Distance from family or
friends
Tragic events (fire, accidents)
Absence of a loved one
who has passed on is an
unimaginable void
Despair (the lack of
faith, joy, and hope)
…and the list is endless
What if we just keep it
simple and embrace all of
our good fortune (health,
life, shelter, security) and
remember to help raise
others ABOVE THE LINE
by simply showing we
care. Let’s open our doors
and hearts to others less
fortunate. Communicate
the season’s greetings with
eye contact, touch, and
words of hope, and don’t
let it end on after Christmas, Hanukkah, the new
year, or whatever tradition
being celebrated. Simply showing we care may
be the one thing a person
may need to bring them
back ABOVE THE LINE
during the next few weeks.
May you all have a joyful holiday season filled
with the spirit of love,
hope, and inspiration to
keep it alive the whole year
long!

You could be among

prepared to mentor atrisk youth or the bookish type who’d be happy
recording textbooks for
blind students, there are
all sorts of opportunities out there for giving
of your time and exper­

where you may care to

A FEW OF OUR CATS AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION:
SHEBA is a gorgeous 4-6 year old calico. This stunning sweetheart
Worthington
is already spayed,0-8-1
house0-10-1
trained, and front declawed. She was an
owner surrender, and her owners said she loved people but would
be happiest in a home as an only pet. Can she be your “Queen
of Sheba”?
PRECIOUS is a pretty girl who almost looks like a shorthaired
Persian! At about 5-6 years old, Precious was surrendered to
us along with 4 other cats through no fault of her own. She is a
sweet black/brown shorthaired tabby with a round face, big round
eyes, and a slightly shorter nose. She is a very laid-back, friendly
girl who will purr her way into your heart! She is already spayed,
vaccinated, house trained, and ready to go home with you!
A FEW OF OUR DOGS AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION:
OSCAR is a 9 year old male Chihuahua/Terrier mix. Oscar found
himself homeless in his senior years through no fault of his own. After
arrival at MCHS he was neutered, updated on his shots, and had a
dental cleaning. Oscar isn’t quite sure what to think of the hustle &
bustle of shelter life. Oscar has ears that stick up like a terrier, but the
body/build of a Chihuahua. He is white, black, and tan.
BOB is a lab/mastiff mix. This big boy is very friendly and energetic.
At about 1 year old, Bob has never met a person he didn’t like. Bob
also does well with other dogs.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays
from our family to yours!
