Veterans Day: the PoppyDid you ever wonder why the VFW passes

out poppies on Memorial Day and Veterans

Day? It is in representation of a popular war

poem called “In Flanders Fields,” which was

written by a soldier during WWI.

Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae was a

Canadian physician. He was inspired to

write the poem on May 3, 1915, after presid-

ing over the funeral of friend and fellow sol-

dier Alexis Helmer, who died in the Second

Battle of Ypres. At the time of the funeral,

McCrae noted how poppies quickly grew

around the graves of those who died at

Ypres. He composed the poem the following

day while sitting in the back of an ambu-

lance.

“In Flanders Fields” was first published on

Dec. 8 of that year in the London-based mag-

azine Punch, after being rejected by other

magazines.

According to legend, fellow soldiers

retrieved the poem after McCrae, initially

unsatisfied with his work, discarded it.

On Jan. 28, 1918, while commanding No.

3 Canadian General Hospital (McGill) at

Boulogne, France, McCrae died of pneumo-

nia with "extensive pneumococcus

meningitis." This was 10 months before the

war ended, on Nov 11 (Veteran’s Day), 1918.

In Flanders FieldsIn Flanders fields the poppies blow

Between the crosses, row on row,That mark our place; and in the skyThe larks, still bravely singing, fly

Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days agoWe lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,

Loved and were loved, and now we lieIn Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:To you from failing hands we throw

The torch; be yours to hold it high.If ye break faith with us who die

We shall not sleep, though poppies growIn Flanders fields.

Hello Again,November 10, 2012

In this day of being politically correct, I wonder if it is acceptable to have memories of events in

your life when a situation was – by today’s standards – not politically correct.

When I was a young lad living in our tiny village, Halloween always brought out the terrible

goblins in all of us.

Farmers hay wagons loaded with whatevers were drawn into the village and parked up against

Charlie Hearn’s store. Outhouses, including the boys and girls behind the schoolhouse, were tipped

over and shoved down the bank into the Cherry Valley Creek.

Windows of cars, homes, and the country general stores were always soaped – which brings up

the point of this line of chatter. We had a lady whom I will not name, to be politically

correct, who whole-heartedly joined in the holidays nonsense and merry making such as turning

cows and horses loose, setting harmless bonfires in the middle of a street and naturally soaping

the higher windows as she was not only very large, but also very tall. She could reach windows that

we kids couldn’t.

About 8:30 Halloween night, dressed in a spooky burlap costume, carrying a straw broom, she

came bursting into the lower grocery store with large tears streaming down her cheeks, while half-

screaming like an Irish banshee. The storeowner – my cousin Norm – in as much of a sympathet-

ic tone as he could muster asked, “What’s wrong? Are you hurt?” She answered, “I was over to

Barney’s bent over soaping his windows and he snuck up behind me and kicked me right in my rear.”

With that, cousin Norm laughed and said, “How could he miss?”

That was back during the World War II years when everyone was talking about the terrible war-

mongers – the Krauts (Germans) and Japs (Japanese). Now even mentioning the size of the lady

soaper or the Krauts and Japs would certainly not be politically correct but I have to admit, it’s

the kind of stuff memories are made of. As a kid, did you ever take a hunk of Ivory and soap a few

windows?

I would not recommend you do it now-a-days. Our politically correct society would not find any

humor in your act but would call in the local bulls (not politically correct) and have you arrested.

Oops, there I go again.

Isn’t it rather strange or do you suppose some humorist or comedian chose to have Halloween,

the evening of October 31st, followed by All Saints Day and Election Day at the same time of year?

Do you suppose the good Lord, knowing there are no real Halloween characters, sees the humor in

piggy-backing election time along with spooks, ghosts, and goblins?

Where is Dr. Louis Jones of Cooperstown, author of “Things Go Bump in the Night” when we need

him?

Realizing I’m just a country boy who missed kindergarten and Harvard, but a lot of my friends

remember me in grade, high school, and even college – but not kindergarten, our country school

board hadn’t figured that one out yet so our Mom’s continued to be our unpaid baby-sitters.

Another four years have come and gone and the citizens of the greatest nation on the face of

this God-created globe have chosen to keep Barack Obama as President for the next four years.

While some did not vote for him, the election is over and 100% of all of our citizens should try to


support him. Naturally support can only come honestly if we believe in what he is attempting to

accomplish. I’m a firm believer in praying for our leaders, especially our president.

Remember during President Clinton’s second term, he moved from the far left towards the cen-

ter? It is quite possible that during the near future, we will have to tighten our belts. This com-

ing week could be the correct time to start a New Year’s resolution or resolutions.

Just to mention a few: turn your home thermostat down and wear warmer clothes. Drive no

faster than 55 mph. We do not always have to step on the gas and pass that slower driver up

ahead. Look for bargains and use coupons at the grocery store. If your habit has been to drive

twenty to thirty miles to go shopping, try shopping at a local store. Most cars will burn a gallon

of gas for every twenty miles traveled. A thirty mile trip is actually sixty miles and could cost

you three gallons of gas at $4 per gallon. You will save $12.

It’s time to put the preaching soapbox away and enjoy a chuckle or two.

Little Charlie wanted $100 so badly that he decided to write a letter to God. The post office

forwarded the letter to the president. The president, while amused, ordered $5 be sent to the

boy. When the boy opened the letter and found $5, not $100, he wrote another letter to God and

said, “Thank you, but your letter passed through Washington and they took 95 percent.”

We have to realize that President Obama is now faced with a similar problem as the one George

Washington faced. He can no longer blame everything on the previous president.

God bless you, our friends, President Obama and Mr. Romney.

If you see something red chugging by, it won’t be me. It’s too cold. But wave anyway –

somehow I’ll get the message.

A farmer who had driven his mules to town one morning arrived back home three hours late.

His wife asked why it took so long. He said, “You won’t believe it but I picked up the president, and

from then on, them mules did not obey or understand a word that was said.”

We just received a phone call from a friend who lives down near New York City. Their electricity

was just turned on and now they have a foot of snow. I know he didn’t blame their troubles on

Bush and certainly can’t blame Romney. If he wants to remain politically correct – what can he

do? Certainly blaming the good Lord might not be the smart thing to do, or even politically cor-

rect.

A personal note to all of our friends and readers: Since my wife’s open-heart surgery last week,

Sylvia has received a fantastic pile of cards, letters, and phone calls. Everyone mentioned their

prayers for which we are grateful. Prayer does work.

To those ladies who cooked, prepared, and delivered those super-suppers, I think I feel a case

of the hee-bee-geebies coming on and we’ve eaten all the food you so graciously delivered . . . so

far.

Sylvia is gaining every day and sends her prayers and thanks. The surgery was a complete suc-

cess. We give thanks to our Lord along with the surgeon, cardiologist, anesthesiologist, nurses

and technicians, and for our praying friends.

Fred Lee and the Lee Family

by Elizabeth A. Tomlin“When they called,

we didn’t think twice,”

remarked St.

Johnsville’s Morris J.

Edwards American

Legion Post 168 past

Commander Pete

Manikas. “We just did

our duty.”

Manikas, a Veteran

of the Korean War,

was referring to the

call to serve our coun-

try, the great United

States of America.

Bob Loccia, also a

past Commander of

the Post, is a Veteran

of four different wars.

Loccia agrees with

Manikas. “It’s an

honor to be a

Veteran,” he said.

Alan “Charlie”

Weaver, 3rd Vice

Commander of the

Post, reports that

Loccia has not missed

marching in a single

parade with the

Legion since 1968.

“Loccia spent 6

years in active duty as

a Marine and then

was with the Army

National Guard for

another 25 years,”

stated Weaver. “He is

really one of our

notable Veterans!”

Immediate past

Commander and

Chaplain, Alan Littrell

remarked, “The free-

dom we have today is

because of guys like

me.”

“I served my country

and I’m proud of it!”

attested current

Commander Tony

Susi.

The Veterans made

these comments while

meeting at the St.

Johnsville’s Soldiers &

Sailors Memorial Park

along with a group of

other Post 168 legion-

naires to salute the

American flag in

honor of this year’s

Veterans Day.

Susi remarked that

the Post would be pre-

senting their annual

Veterans Day program

at the St. Johnsville

Nursing Home and

Rehabilitation Center

on Sunday, at 11

a.m., where miniature

flags will be handed

out to everyone who

attends.

This event will be

followed up by anoth-

er, region-wide, pro-

gram that will be held

Sunday afternoon at

the Holy Family

Catholic Parish on

East Main St. in Little

Falls at 3 p.m., hon-

oring our Veterans.

This special event will

feature a military cer-

emony with patriotic

music, followed by a

free luncheon. Call

315-823-3410 for

more information.

These saw sets come to us

from an entrepeneuring local.

Abel Stillman of Poland, NY

patented them on Sept. 26,

1848.

The “set” of a saw refers to

the angle each tooth is bent

away from the saw plate.

This is a complex process of

measuring multiple angles

because the blade cannot be a

constant thickness through-

out, otherwise the saw will

bind. The amount of set

applied to the blade is meas-

ured with a micrometer.

Once measurements aretaken, saw sets are used to

pinch and bend each tooth in

order to properly align them.

The person setting must also

make sure not to set the teeth

too far the opposite direction.

Stillman’s saw sets were nei-

ther the first nor last versions

of this tool to be made. The

additions he made are spelled

out in the patent: “The revolv-

ing jaw having at the ends of

its arms depressions of differ-

ent lengths and depths, and

lengths for different teeth, in

combination with the angle

bar and adjusting screw.”

The saw set is also not

Stillman’s only invention. He

also patented some improve-

ments on a coffee bean roaster

on Dec. 28, 1840.

by Larry CoxSinger sewing

machineQ: I have inherited

an old Singersewing machineand wonder if it isworth keeping. —Betty, North Port,FL

A: There are mil-lions of older Singersewing machinestucked away inAmerican homes.Because so manywere made, theyreally aren’t worththat much moneyas a collectible.Most of the treadlemodels that I’veseen in antiqueshops and mallshave been pricedwell below $200.For example, I spot-ted a Singer ModelNo. 15-30 fromabout 1910 for$175, a SingerModel 66 also fromthe same period for$195, and a SingerNo. 27-4 in oak cab-inet, $150. Thereare always excep-tions to every rule.

Check outwww.MySingerSto-ry.com for historicalfacts about theolder machines. It isalso an interactivewebsite that invitesSinger fans fromacross the countryto share their per-sonal stories andmemories of thisiconic machine.

Q: Is there any-thing you can tellme about a vasethat I have. I can’tfind any markingson it. I have alwaysbeen curious about

it and would espe-cially like to knowits value and howold it is.— Carol,Willmer, MN

A: You have sentme a question thatis impossible toanswer. Even withthe picture yousent, identifying thepiece and determin-ing its age wouldtake a professionalappraiser. I thinkyour piece is proba-bly from the 1950sor ‘60s, judging byits design, but thatis only a guess.Having it appraisedmight cost morethan the piece isworth. With that inmind, you mightshow it to antiquedealers in your areafor their opinions.

Q: I have a collec-tion of Look, Lifeand SaturdayEvening Post maga-zines from the1960s and ‘70s.What do you thinkthey are worth? --Meda, Bethalto, Ill.

A: In the case ofmagazines, youtruly can judgethem by their cov-ers. JFK covers, forexample, generallysell for a couple dol-lars more thanmany of the others.Most Look, Life andSaturday EveningPost magazinesfrom this period arefairly plentiful andgenerally retail inthe $5 to $10 rangein shops.

Performers from the

Mohawk Valley enter-

tained what appeared

to be a record crowd

at the Arkell

Performing Arts

Center in the

Canajoharie High

School on Friday, Nov.

2.

“I don’t remember

ever having such a

large crowd,” stated

Variety Show

Chairman Tom

Armitstead.

Armitstead credits

show director Walt

Maaser for doing an

“outstanding job” as

coordinator. “Things

really ran smoothly

with Walt in charge.

We had a lot of favor-

able comments.”

Armitstead also

commends Will Ryan

who acted as Emcee

and the Canajoharie

Computer Science

Interns for doing a

“tremendous job” with

the lights and sound

system.

“We enjoy doing the

show and are always

looking for new people

and new ideas,”

Armitstead comment-

ed. “We like to see the

young talent, watch-

ing them develop and

grow; like the

Dependents, who have

been with us for sever-

al years.”

Armitstead said the

Central Mohawk Lions

extend their thanks to

all who came and per-

formed at the show,

and looks forward to

seeing many of the

performers return for

next year’s 15th

annual ‘November

Stars’ Variety Show.

“We just hope every-

one enjoyed the

show,” remarked

Armitstead.

Pumpkins are a

type of gourd that

grows on just about

every continent

(Antarctica not

included). The major-

ity of pumpkins are

bought and sold

around Halloween,

commonly to convert

to jack-o-lanterns.

However, pumpkins

can be used as a deli-

cious food source.

Here is some other

interesting informa-

tion about pumpkins.

Pumpkins are

believed to have origi-

nated in North

America. Seeds from

pumpkins dating

back to 7000 B.C.

have been found in

Mexico. The name

“pumpkin” evolved

originally from the

Greek word “pepon,”

for large melon. The

French called them

“pompon,” and the

English eventually

changed the word to

“pumpion.”

There are dozens of

varieties of pumpkins

and they come in

many colors, includ-

ing white, besides the

familiar orange. Most

pumpkins can be

harvested for carving.

However, certain vari-

eties are better for

cooking. These

include the

Buckskin, Chelsey,

Dickinson Field, and

Kentucky Field.

It is possible for the

home gardener to

grow pumpkins. It

may take a few tries,

but the results can be

worth it if pumpkins

eventually form. Keep

in mind that

although pumpkin

plants will produce

several flowers

throughout the life of

the plant, a person

can expect only one

to two actual pump-

kins per vine.

Pumpkin plants nat-

urally produce sepa-

rate male and female

flowers on the same

plant for pollination.

Pumpkin plants

should be watered,

but only the roots, in

the early morning or

during the day for

good health. Wet

leaves can lead to

mildew. Later-day

watering may result

in powdery mildew, a

blight that can form

and spread quickly.

Bugs are another

problem that may

destroy a pumpkin

plant. The cucumber

beetle is a carrier of

plant disease.

Of course, if grow-

ing pumpkins seems

too much work, a trip

to a local pumpkin

patch is a good

excursion for fami-

lies. Pumpkins ripen

at the end of summer

into early fall.

However, it could be

best to wait until

later in the season to

pick a pumpkin

because a picked or

carved pumpkin

won’t last forever.

Whether you do ityourself or take yourcar to a professionalservice technician,the Car Care Councilrecommends 10 basicmaintenance proce-dures to keep yourvehicle operating atits best:

1. Check all fluids,including engine oil,power steering, brakeand transmission aswell as windshieldwasher solvent andantifreeze/coolant.

2. Check the hosesand belts to makesure they are notcracked, brittle,frayed, loose or show-ing signs of excessivewear.

3. Check the bat-tery and replace ifnecessary. Make surethe connection isclean, tight and cor-rosion-free.

4. Check the brakesystem annually andhave the brake lin-ings, rotors anddrums inspected ateach oil change.

5. Inspect theexhaust system forleaks, damage andbroken supports orhangers if there is anunusual noise.Exhaust leaks can bedangerous and mustbe corrected without

delay.6. Schedule a tune-

up to help the enginedeliver the best bal-ance of power andfuel economy andproduce the lowestlevel of emissions.

7. Check the heat-ing, ventilating andair conditioning(HVAC) system asproper heating andcooling performanceis critical for interiorcomfort and for safetyreasons such asdefrosting.

8. Inspect the steer-ing and suspensionsystem annuallyincluding shockabsorbers, struts andchassis parts such asball joints, tie rodends and other relat-ed components.

9. Check the tires,including tire pres-sure and tread.Uneven wear indi-cates a need for wheelalignment. Tiresshould also bechecked for bulgesand bald spots.

10. Check thewipers and lighting sothat you can see andbe seen. Check thatall interior and exteri-or lighting is workingproperly and replaceworn wiper blades soyou can see clearlywhen driving duringprecipitation.

New York Air NationalGuard Colonel Dawne L.Deskins, Commander ofthe Eastern Air DefenseSector (EADS) in Rome,NY addressed nearly 500military veterans fromacross Central New Yorkat its 12th annual Veter-ans Recognition Ceremo-ny Saturday, Nov. 3, host-ed by the Oneida IndianNation. Deskins, told theVeterans at this pre-Vet-erans Day “Your serviceand sacrifice has been in-strumental in getting thiscountry where it is.”

Bradd Vickers, aChenango County Viet-nam War Veteran, noted“I have enjoyed meetingwith other Veterans fromCentral New York andCanada at these eventseach year and listening tothem tell of their servicein the military. It is trulyan honor to be invited tosuch an event.”

Col. Deskins discussedthe role of EADS and theCentral New York military

response to the call shetook on Sept. 11, 2001which turned out to be aterrorist attack on theU.S. in her address.

Since Sept. 11, EADShas grown in operation tomonitor the eastern por-tion of the United Statesfrom the Mississippi Riv-er to the Atlantic Ocean,covering more than 1 mil-lion square miles of airspace. The work is doneby 178 radars through-out the eastern sector.

Deskins said, “As a com-mander, it’s always anhonor to go out and speakto veterans and let themknow what we’re doingnow in the military. I thinkthis is a fantastic eventthat the Oneida Nationputs together to get all ofthese people in one placeand honor them, particu-larly in November, with itbeing Veterans Day.”

Also in attendance wasRainy Collins-Vickers,Vice President of McDo-nough American Legion

Auxiliary Unit 1478 whosaid, “This is a great trib-ute by the Oneida Na-tions to honor our Veter-ans every year and bringso many of them togetherin one place.”

The Oneida NationFoundation also present-ed a $1,000 donation toFeed Our Vets. The non-profit food pantry organi-zation based in Utica andfounded by Navy veteranRichard Synek has theobjective of providing ful-ly-stocked food pantriesfor veterans in need setup in accessible locationsacross the country. Learnmore about Feed OurVets at www.Fee-dOurVets.org.

As First Allies of theUnited States during theRevolutionary War, theOneida Nation finds it im-portant to remember andhonor all of those whohave served and are nowserving in the armedforces in this lead-up toVeterans Day.

Oneida Nation honors veterans at 12th annual event

On the 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month in 1918, an armistice,or agreement to stop fighting, was reached between the Allied nations and Ger-many in World War I.

One year later, President Woodrow Wilson declared that Nov. 11, 1919 was aday to remember Americans for their military service in World War I. He called itArmistice Day. He suggested that Americans celebrate with parades and perhapsa “brief suspension of business” around 11 a.m. President Wilson also hoped itwould be a time when Americans offered prayers of thanksgiving for those whohad served and for peace for all times.

• President Wilson originally intended Armistice Day to be observed one time,but many states decided to observe it every year to honor World War I veterans.

• Congress followed the states’ lead and in 1938 declared that every Nov. 11would be observed as Armistice Day.

• Congress changed the name to Veterans Day in 1954 to honor veterans of allwars.

• For a brief time, 1971-1974, Veterans Day was observed on the 4th Mondayin October. Since 1975, Veterans Day is always observed on Nov. 11.

• If Nov. 11 falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the federal government observes theholiday on the previous Friday or following Monday, respectively.

• Nov. 11, 1921, when the first of the unknown soldiers was buried in Arling-ton National Cemetery, unidentified soldiers also were laid to rest at Westmin-ster Abbey in London and at the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.

• Memorial Day, the fourth Monday in May, honors American service memberswho died in service to their country.

• Veterans Day pays tribute to all American veterans, living or dead, but espe-cially gives thanks to living veterans who served their country honorably duringwar or peacetime.

• States designate their own holidays, so there are no official U.S. national hol-idays. The government can only designate holidays for federal employees and forthe District of Columbia. But states almost always follow the federal lead.

Timeline for Veterans Day observanceNov. 11, 1918: The fighting in World War I ended. (The Treaty of Versailles for-

mally ended the war on June 28, 1919)November 1919: President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed that Nov. 11, 1919,

would be observed as Armistice Day — a day to honor the veterans of World WarI.

• Winterize your home to extend thelife of your fuel supply by insulatingwalls and attics, caulking and weather-stripping doors and windows, and in-stalling storm windows or covering win-dows with plastic.

• Winterize your house, barn, shed orany other structure that may provideshelter for your family, neighbors, live-stock or equipment. Clear rain gutters;repair roof leaks and cut away treebranches that could fall on a house orother structure during a storm.

• Maintain heating equipment andchimneys by having them cleaned andinspected every year.

• Insulate pipes with insulation ornewspapers and plastic and allowfaucets to drip a little during coldweather to avoid freezing. Running wa-ter, even at a trickle, helps preventpipes from freezing.

• All fuel-burning equipment shouldbe vented to the outside and kept clear.

• Keep fire extinguishers on hand,and make sure everyone in your houseknows how to use them. House firespose an additional risk, as more peopleturn to alternate heating sources with-

out taking the necessary safety precau-tions.

• Learn how to shut off water valves(in case a pipe bursts).

• Insulate your home by installingstorm windows or covering windowswith plastic from the inside to keep coldair out.

• Hire a contractor to check the struc-tural ability of the roof to sustain un-usually heavy weight from the accumu-lation of snow - or water, if drains onflat roofs do not work.

Source: www.ready.gov

Winterize your home

To prepare for a winter storm you should do the following:• Before winter approaches, add the following supplies to your emergency kit:- Rock salt or more environmentally safe products to melt ice on walkways. Vis-

it the Environmental Protection Agency for a complete list of recommended prod-ucts.

- Sand to improve traction.- Snow shovels and other snow removal equipment.- Sufficient heating fuel. You may become isolated in your home and regular fuel

sources may be cut off. Store a good supply of dry, seasoned wood for your fire-place or wood-burning stove.

- Adequate clothing and blankets to keep you warm.

• Make a Family Communications Plan. Your family may not be together whendisaster strikes, so it is important to know how you will contact one another, howyou will get back together and what you will do in case of an emergency.

• Listen to a NOAA Weather Radio or other local news channels for critical infor-mation from the National Weather Service (NWS). Be alert to changing weather con-ditions.

• Minimize travel. If travel is necessary, keep a disaster supplies kit in your ve-hicle.

• Bring pets/companion animals inside during winter weather. Move other ani-mals or livestock to sheltered areas with non-frozen drinking water.

Before winter storms and extreme cold

Storm Sandy blew through UpstateNew York and left a myriad of concernfor our community. Natural disasterslike Storm Sandy can bring out the bestin people, as strangers reach out to helpothers in need. Unfortunately, BBB ex-perience tells us crises also bring outpersons who choose to take advantageof the victims.

Some of the most common “after-dis-aster” scams involve damage done totrees. Seems simple enough however it’simportant to consider Better BusinessBureau tips for homeowners who suf-fered tree damage in the wake of thestorm:

• Check with your insurance compa-ny about policy coverage and specific fil-ing requirements.

• Check the BBB Accredited BusinessDirectory to find a business you cantrust. Not only are these businessescommitted to honest and ethical prac-tices, but BBB has checked licensingrequirements and should something gowrong, these businesses have commit-ted to respond to your concerns.

• Take time to shop around and getthree estimates. For large projects, askthe tree service how many projects likeyours they have completed in the lastyear. Ask for several local referencesthat are at least one year-old and followthrough on checking them.

• Verify with your local city or townmunicipality to determine if tree re-moval businesses are required to be li-censed/registered to do work in yourarea.

• Check to see whether the businessin question is a member of any rep-utable trade association, such as theNYS Arborists.

• Ask if certified arborists, who haveprofessional training and certifications,are on staff. An experienced arborist isparticularly important on projects in-volving large trees or removal of sub-stantial branches on established trees.

• Make sure each tree service you areconsidering has current liability insur-ance and workers compensation insur-ance. All certificates of insuranceshould be sent from the tree service’sinsurance agency directly to you. Other-wise, it could be a fraudulent certificate.

• Require a written contract agree-ment with anyone you hire. Be suretheir name, address, license number, ifapplicable, and phone number are in-cluded in the contract. Read and under-stand the contract in its entirety anddon’t sign a blank contract. A copy ofthe signed contract is to be given to youat time of signature. Do not assumethat tree stump removal is included inthe contract if it is not specified.

• Once you have picked a tree service

you feel comfortable with, never pay fora tree removal or tree trimming projectof any kind until you are 100 percentsatisfied with the work. Pay by creditcard only when the job is complete. Pay-ing by credit card provides some re-course should the job not be completedas stated in the contract.

• Although you may be anxious to getthings back to normal, avoid lettingyour emotions get the better of you.Don’t be pressured into making an im-mediate decision. Be wary of door-to-door solicitations and check to see ifyour community requires them to havesolicitation permits.

Ask how the job will be done, and ifthey will perform the work according toindustry standards. If they mention“topping a tree,” “lion’s-tailing” or “us-ing climbing spikes to prune a tree” thecompany does not follow industry stan-dards. “Topping” is drastically cuttingback the major limbs of a tree to reduceits size. “Lion’s tailing” is an extremestripping out of most of the interiorbranches of a tree. Such practices caninjure or kill your tree.

Some techniques will be presented asa way to save money by removing moreof the tree at one time. However a treepruned by one of these methods usual-ly requires more expensive restorationwork in the future in order to save it.

Beware of a tree service if they:• Don’t have printed materials, letter-

head, bid forms, etc.• Are vague about formal credentials

as an arborist.• Offer an unusually low price . . . at

first.• Only accepts cash payments,

and/or asks for payment up front.• Pressures you for an immediate de-

cision.• Offers you a discount to find other

customers.Residents may also encounter other

types of debris from damaged buildings,household and other types of hazardouswaste. BBB encourages consumers tocheck with the New York Department ofEnvironmental Conservation for infor-mation on where debris may be stored.Remember, your main goal is to regainyour sense of normalcy while doing sowithin the guidelines set by our stateand federal agency.

Disaster victims should never feelforced to make a hasty decision or tochoose an unknown tree service. For re-liable information, lists of BBB Accred-ited Businesses by industry and BBBBusiness Reviews you can trust on localbusinesses, visit bbb.org or call 800-828-5000.

Check or have a mechanic check the following items on your car:• Antifreeze levels - ensure they are sufficient to avoid freezing.• Battery and ignition system - should be in top condition and battery terminals

should be clean.• Brakes - check for wear and fluid levels.• Exhaust system - check for leaks and crimped pipes and repair or replace as

necessary. Carbon monoxide is deadly and usually gives no warning.• Fuel and air filters - replace and keep water out of the system by using addi-

tives and maintaining a full tank of gas. A full tank will keep the fuel line fromfreezing.

• Heater and defroster - ensure they work properly.• Lights and flashing hazard lights - check for serviceability.• Oil - check for level and weight. Heavier oils congeal more at low temperatures

and do not lubricate as well.• Thermostat - ensure it works properly.• Windshield wiper equipment - repair any problems and maintain proper wash-

er fluid level.• Install good winter tires - Make sure the tires have adequate tread. All-weath-

er radials are usually adequate for most winter conditions. However, some jurisdic-tions require that to drive on their roads, vehicles must be equipped with chainsor snow tires with studs.

Update the emergency kits in your vehicles with:• a shovel• windshield scraper and small broom• flashlight• battery powered radio• extra batteries• water• snack food• matches• extra hats, socks and mittens• first aid kit with pocket knife• necessary medications• blanket(s)• tow chain or rope• road salt and sand• booster cables• emergency flares• fluorescent distress flagSource: www.ready.gov
