2011 REVIEW
Gee Whiz, time fies!! Here we are at the last issue of our
publications for 2011, then it is HO, HO Merry Christmas,
followed shortly aferward by Happy New Year and thats it
another year gone by, never to come again.
Up until we hit November, I have generally been thinking
that this was a pretty good year!! Te Jet has grown into his job
as head of security, and a mighty fne job he is doing ... total
business losses due to thef or embezzlement - a big fat zero!!!!.
Te missus seems easier to get along with or maybe Im just
getting sof in my old age. Te GRAND, grand-daughter has
been just grand all year and a pleasure to have nearby. As long
as we continue to play hide and seek, have foot races, and
imaginative play times together, I know that Im not getting any
older.
Although, under-funded by millions of dollars, my woods road
reconstruction advanced quite signifcantly during the year.
Between the lousy wet weather we had and work on the woods
road, I didnt harvest as much wood as I had hoped to but no
big deal.
So life has been not too bad in 2011, until November rolled
around. Ten I mashed three fngers while working on my wood
chipper, which was followed quite quickly with a lung infection,
but that little rough patch seems to be coming to an end. Both
fngers and lungs are recovering and I expect by the New Year to
be back in tip-top condition.
November did, however, bring one fantastic blessing the
birth of our second Grand-grand daughter, Charlotte Rose.
Charlie is already getting regular instruction on how to say
Grumpy, although I am willing to accept Bumpy to start of
with, if she follows the same learning curve as her cousin.
To all of the people who make up the Ossekeag Family, readers,
advertisers and staf, I want to wish everyone the very best
Christmas Season ever. Make sure that you take the time to
enjoy family and friends. Also remember, Feeling gratitude and
not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it. --
William Arthur Ward.
See you when we return in 2012 for another challenging year as
we seek to Build Better Communities!! 801

SEASONAl SONg - HOlIDAy FAVORITE
Te 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. Te song was published in 1934 by composer
Felix Bernard and lyricist Richard B. Smith. Smith resided in the
town of Honesdale, Pennsylvania, and was inspired to write the
lyrics of the song afer 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.
Many singers have performed the song throughout the years,
so much so that it is ofen a standard song on artists holiday
compilations. Some of the better-known and earlier versions
were made by Te Andrews Sisters and Perry Como.
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
spontaneously by a travelling parson, a Protestant minister.
Some thought those lyrics sent the wrong message to children,
and another version was written with a circus clown, instead.
Te song has been sung with either bridge in place and even
both in lengthier versions of the tune. CH2

JOIN A cHRISTMAS BIRD cOuNT
For 112 years, people across North America, and more recently
around the world, have been venturing in to
the out-of-doors during the holiday period
to conduct annual Christmas Bird Counts.
Tese citizen scientists collect data to
allow scientists to identify changes in bird
populations and distribution and to support
conservation initiatives.
Te Christmas Bird Counts also provide a great opportunity
for anyone with an interest in birds to team up with other
observers for a fun day of birding. Many of the counts in the
southern part of the province are coordinated by the Saint John
Naturalists Club and you are invited to join us for one or more
of these counts (listed below). As the counts are done in teams,
no experience is necessary. Indeed, it is a fun and relaxed way
to learn more about our winter resident birds. You can also be
part of the Christmas Bird Count for your area by recording the
birds coming to your back yard feeder. Your observations will be
added to those of the feld teams.
To aid in planning the counts, please register in advance with
the local coordinator: Hammond River (includes Hampton,
Quispamsis areas), Monday, January 2
