December 2011

Tabby/christmasgraphic14.gif
Tabusintac Local Service District

We're in the final throws of 2011, and no doubt a good many are checking their lists, and checking them twice, as Christmas is right around the corner.
Speaking of Christmas, with the recent election of the L.S.D. committee on Dec 1st, we are later than usual in scheduling our annual tree lighting. That said, the new committee is in place, the tree is up, and we're ready to flick the switch. We welcome everyone to the community hall on Thursday, Dec. 15 at 7:00 p.m. for light refreshments and entertainment as we light the tree, and mingle a bit with Santa.

An expression of thanks:
The L.S.D. committee would like to thank outgoing members Don Robertson and Ron Eves for the insight and time they both lent to the committee over the past two years.
Thanks to David MacWilliams for his time leading the janitorial work at the hall. David resigns his duties effective Dec. 31st.
The L.S.D. committee would like to Gail Savoy for her leadership in overseeing the country market. The community sure appreciates all the Saturday mornings she, along with all the vendors, and organizations put into making an inviting environment for locals and visitors alike.
Thanks to April Vye for all the work she puts into getting the Tabby Tattler every month. The status of the Access Center is changing somewhat, but we hope to have April provide this service going forward.
Anytime you start listing names, you run the risk of forgetting someone, and no doubt I have,...but you know who you are. If you've volunteered at all to make your community a better place, our hat's off to you as well. Thank you!
Lastly, on behalf of the below members of Local Service District, we wish you all a "Merry Christmas, and all the best to you and yours in 2012!"

Old Times Correspondence Request
Aunt Mildred Brunton. She absolutely loved Tabusintac and has kept in touch with friends she grew up with over the years in Tabusintac. She has lived in New Westminster since the 1950s. She was the oldest child of Duncan & Annie (Murray) McIntosh and is now 95 yrs. old but failing in health and recently hospitalized waiting for a room in a nursing home. Her mind is still as sharp as a tack and I want to give an address where her friends can send a card. She looks for mail every day. Mail can be sent to her in care of her daughter Donna.
Mrs. Mildred Brunton c/o Donna Hansen 505 6th Ave. Apt. 602, New Westminster, B.C. V3L 5H3.

How are real Christmas trees beneficial to our environment?
Christmas trees produce oxygen and protect wildlife
CO2 is taken out of the atmosphere, counteracting the human use of fossil fuels. Trees also act as air pollution filters and can remove up to 13 tons of airborne pollutants per acre per year. Christmas tree farms are havens for a wide variety of bird and mammal species including grosbeaks, sparrows, chickadees, foxes, coyotes, mice, voles, and squirrels. The "edge effect" created by a stand of Christmas trees next to a woodlot or an open field is known to increase wildlife species diversity.


Christmas Trivia

The word Christmas is Old English, a contraction of Christ's Mass.

Germany made the first artificial Christmas trees. They were made of goose feathers and dyed green.

Electric lights for trees were first used in 1895.

The first Christmas cards were vintage and invented in 1843, the Victorian Era

"It's a Wonderful Life" appears on TV more often than any other holiday movie.

Rudolph" was actually created by Montgomery Ward in the late 1930's for a holiday promotion. The rest is history.

The Nutcracker" is the most famous Christmas ballet.

Jingle Bells" was first written for Thanksgiving and then became one of the most popular Christmas songs.

If you received all of the gifts in the song "The Twelve Days of Christmas," you would receive 364 gifts.

The poinsettia plant was brought into the United States from Mexico by Joel Poinsett in the early 1800's.

Holly berries are poisonous.

Contrary to common belief, poinsettia plants are non-toxic.

In 1843, "A Christmas Carol" was written by Charles Dickens in just six weeks.

An angel told Mary she was going to have a baby.

Black Friday is not the busiest shopping day of the year. Although it varies, it usually lands sometime in December.

Clearing up a common misconception, in Greek, X means Christ. That is where the word "X-Mas" comes from. Not because someone took the "Christ" out of Christmas.

Traditionally, Christmas trees are taken down after Epiphany.

More diamonds are sold around Christmas than any other time of the year.

In Mexico, wearing red underwear on New Year's Eve is said to bring new love in the upcoming year.

Hello Stakeholders and Best Wishes to All During the Holidays!
TWA has been out and about speaking with federal and provincial agencies along with other non-profit organizations to ensure the Tabusintac Watershed will remain sustainable. Tabusintac River is known for its pristine waters and biodiversity of habitats and ecosystems. Sometimes we don't realize on how lucky we are to have the diversity of natural resources within our reach; from clean waters to clean air.
Also, it's a great time of year to explore the watershed and notice the changes that have taken place in relatively short time within the same given area due to the change of weather.
If you have any questions regarding any topics of the environment or how to reduce our impact; please feel free to contact the office!
