On this day I saw a lot of them dead and a lot of them dying.” More than 2,400 Americans were killed at Pearl Harbor after the Japanese launched a surprise attack on the United States in the early morning hours Dec. 7 1941. Whitt described the Japanese planes flying low over the ships. He recalled watching the events unfold aboard the USS San Francisco and described the panic of men trying to get out of the water, all of them covered in oil. “I didn’t run and hide,” Whitt said. “I am a country boy, I used to shoot quail.” Whitt said he remembered shooting at the planes and watching one of the Japanese pilots look out of the plane with a smirk on his face.

Residents were able to lis- ten to holiday music, shop for gifts and look at the intricate train displays at local busi- nesses and organizations. The train displays are one of the unique features of the Christmas Walk, and many business owners in the village set up train displays in their windows for everyone to enjoy. “I built it two years ago but set it up this week,” Charles Ward, of Ward Financial said about his train display. “It’s like a puzzle.” American Legion Post 288 also had an elaborate train display this year, thanks to the Greater Cincinnati Garden Railway Society. The organi- zation donated a model train to the legion to display for the Christmas Walk. “It’s neat to watch the kids,” Tom Cruse, of GCGRS said. “They get all excited and big- eyed about (the trains).” Cruse said the hobby of model railroading is a dying one, and one of the reasons they bring the trains out to the Christmas Walk is to spark the interest of those who come out. “People today don’t really relate to trains,” he said. “But if you go all the way back it was your Post Office, your Fed Ex.” Cruse said people used to pick up mail at one stop, sort it, and deliver it as the train proceeded down the track. “I think the trains are a lot of fun for the kids and for adults, it makes us nostalgic,” Mike McKinney, a resident who helped bring the GCGRS to the American Legion, said. “It brings a little character to the village.” This year, Alli Stolz won a Lionel “Cascade Range Logging Train” in the annual train raffle. Sharon Wood donated the prize in memory of her late husband, Bob. In addition to the variety of train displays, residents also came together to enjoy other activities in the village. “It brings out the communi- ty spirit,” Olivet Murray, of Williamsburg Alumni, said. “The people who come to it love to come and the people who work it love to work. It’s a nice exchange between the community.” Murray worked the Williamsburg Alumni booth, where she helped children make Christmas ornaments and handed out refreshments.

The Williamsburg middle and high school choirs and the high school band also per- formed at the event.

Hunters can usea legal muzzleloader, handgunor shotgun from one half-hourbefore sunrise until sunset onDec. 17-18. Ohio’s pre-hunt-ing season population wasestimated to be 750,000white-tailed deer.The white-tailed deer is themost popular game animal inOhio, frequently pursued bygenerations of hunters. Ohioranks 8th nationally in annualhunting-related sales and 10thin the number of jobs associat-ed with the hunting-relatedindustry. Each year, huntinghas an $859 million economicimpact in Ohio through thesale of equipment, fuel, food,lodging and more.Ohio is divided into three

deer hunting zones. After Nov.27, a limit of one deer may betaken in Zone A (12 counties)and two deer in Zone B (38counties). Beginning Dec. 5,the bag limit is three deer inZone C and antlerless deerpermits are no longer valid.Anytime a hunter takes morethan one deer, an additionalpermit must be purchased.Those hunting in urbanunits and at Division ofWildlife-authorized controlledhunts will have a six-deer baglimit, those deer will not countagainst the hunter’s zone baglimit. Antlerless deer permitsmay be used for the entire sea-son in urban deer units orDivision of Wildlife-author-ized controlled hunts.Antlerless deer permits musthave been purchased prior toNov. 27 and are no longeravailable. Antlerless tags arenot valid in Zones A and Bafter Nov. 27. Hunters may take only oneantlered deer, regardless ofzone, hunting method or sea-son. A deer permit is requiredin addition to a valid Ohio

hunting license and hunterorange is required to be wornexcept for waterfowl hunters.Donations of extra deer willbe accepted through the entiredeer season which ends onFeb. 5, 2012. Hunters whogive their deer to a food bankare not required to pay theprocessing cost as long as thedeer are taken to a participat-ing processor and funding forthe effort lasts. Counties beingserved by this program can befound online at www.fhfh.org. Additional hunting regula-tions and maps of the state’sdeer zones are listed in the2011-2012 Ohio HuntingRegulations. This free publi-cation is available whereverhunting licenses are sold,online at wildohio.com or bycalling 1-800-WILDLIFE.Ohio hunters and bird-watchers are reminded thatthey should be aware of oneanother as they pursue deerand birds on this shared week-end. Hunters need to remem-ber that there may be otherpeople – both hunters andnon-hunters – in the woods.Birders are also reminded thathunters are allowed to huntwherever they have writtenpermission.

BY RICHARD SHONK, M.D.

Each winter, the coldweather and holiday festivi-ties can bring special chal-lenges to the nearly 26 mil-lion Americans living withdiabetes – and the 79 millionwith prediabetes who are atgravest risk of developing it.

With the season fastapproaching, experts cautionpeople with diabetes and pre-diabetes to take extra care toavoid cold-related illnesses,stay physically active andmaintain a proper diet duringholiday gatherings and thelong winter months.

“The winter holidays bringfamily and friends together tocelebrate but for some, thistime of the year means adecrease in physical activity,tempting ‘no-no foods,’ andan increase in weight gain, allof which can make bloodsugar more difficult to man-age,” says Deneen Vojta,M.D., executive vice presi-dent and chief clinical officerof the Diabetes Preventionand Control Alliance(DPCA). “Fortunately, thereare simple precautionarysteps that people with dia-betes and prediabetes can takethis winter and holiday sea-son.”

Here are 10 simple waysDr. Vojta and the DPCA saypeople can tell diabetes “NOTME” this winter and enjoythe holiday season withoutrisking their health. “NOTME,” from the DiabetesPrevention and ControlAlliance (DPCA), is anemployer – and community-based initiative aimed at tip-ping the scales against the

epidemic of type 2 diabetes,prediabetes and obesity.

1. Keep Yourself and YourGear Warm: Dress appropri-ately for the cold weather,which means wearing layersand keeping your head andextremities covered. And besure to keep your diabetesmedications and suppliesinsulated and well-protected.

2. Avoid Winter WeightGain: Watch your caloricintake, look for holiday treatsthat are lighter in sugar andcarbohydrates, and make sureto keep exercising during thecold winter months.

3. Don’t Get Cold Feet:Keep your toes covered andwarm in the cold weather.

4. Get Vaccinated: Studieshave shown that people withdiabetes are three-times aslikely to die from influenza orpneumonia, and five-timesmore likely to be hospitalizeddue to flu complications. Sobe sure to get vaccinated atthe very start of cold and fluseason.

5. Wash Your Hands:Another good way to avoidgetting colds or respiratoryviruses over the holidays is towash your hands regularlywith hot water and soapand/or an antibacterial prod-uct.

6. Eat Thoughtfully and BeMerry, but Watch the Drink:Alcoholic beverages dilate

blood vessels and acceleratethe loss of body heat. Alcoholcan also mask the signs of lowblood sugar, which can bedangerous for people withdiabetes. So be mindful ofalcohol intake, especially atoffice holiday parties andfamily gatherings.

7. Seek Counseling IfYou’re Feeling Blue: Severalstudies suggest a correlationbetween diabetes and depres-sion, a disease which is alsoknown to spike each yeararound holiday time. If you’refeeling low, sluggish, devoidof energy, or sad, do not beafraid to reach out for help.

8. Check In On the Elderly:Seniors are even more sus-ceptible to succumbing to theeffects of the cold due to areduced ability to controlbody temperature and adecrease of subcutaneous fat.Check in on your elderlyfriends and neighbors thisholiday season, especiallythose that live alone.

9. Stay Hydrated.Alternating exposure to out-door cold weather with indoorheating systems is a recipe fordehydration, which can raiseblood glucose levels andcause dry skin and eyes.Drink lots of water and liber-ally apply alcohol-free mois-turizing lotion throughout thewinter months.

10. Strive for a Stress-FreeSeason: Stress has been

shown to affect blood sugarlevels, so find ways to makeyour holiday season a littleless hectic whether thatmeans managing your socialcalendar or making detailedshopping lists in advance.

These tips can help peoplewith diabetes and prediabetesstay healthy this winter; how-ever, national data suggeststhat more than 27 percent ofadults with type 2 diabetesand more than 90 percent ofindividuals with prediabetesmay not even be aware oftheir condition. To learn thewarning signs of prediabetesand assess one’s risk of devel-oping type 2 diabetes visit theDPCA’s interactive self-iden-tification quiz.

You don’t make a lot ofdemands. This year is theexception.

Specifically, if there isn’t acertain little box beneath thetree, there could be trouble.You’re fully expecting it to bethere, so it’d better be. Itshould be wrapped in shinypaper with a gold – no, a silver– bow. And what’s inside hadbetter be just as glimmery asthe outside and it better bevery, very expensive.

You’re a woman of fewdesires, and one of them issparkly. For Veronica, LadySmithson, her deepestChristmas wish is for a man -but not a husband. In the newbook “His Mistress byChristmas” by VictoriaAlexander, Veronica may getmore than she wanted.

Scandalous.That’s what Portia, Lady

Redwell, thought about herfriend Veronica, LadySmithson. True, it had beenthree years since Veronica’shusband died and that’s a longtime to be in mourning, butthe lustful look on Veronica’sface when she saw Portia’scousin, Sir Sebastian Hadley-Attwater, well, there was justone word for it: scandalous.

It was doubly shocking,then, when Veronica whis-pered that she didn’t want tobe married again. She merely

wanted to be Sebastian’s mis-tress.

Sir Sebastian had beenaround the world, visited for-eign countries, and had metheads of state and villagechieftains. Daring and adven-turous, ladies were quitedrawn to him, though he was afirmly avowed bachelor -which is why Sebastian sur-prised himself by falling head-over-heels in love – instantly -with lovely Lady Smithson.

He also decided instantlythat he would marry her. Butwhen he proposed, just daysafter their first meeting, LadySmithson turned him downflat.

She wanted Sir Sebastianvery much, but not as a wife.For most of her life, Veronicahad been headstrong, decisive,and independent. She wasused to her freedom and hadno intention of being someman’s “chattel.” She couldlove Sebastian, but she couldnever marry him.

She did, however, agree tospend Christmas at his newcountry home outside Londonand he agreed to her terms. A

holiday in the country – justthe two of them – would bethe perfect way to embark ontheir quiet affair… until loveand two well-meaning fami-lies stepped in and messed upa perfectly good Yuletide plan.

When it comes to bodice-ripping historical love stories,“His Mistress by Christmas”is pretty typical. You’ve gotyour handsome rogue, yourheadstrong redhead, furtivekisses, an argument, misun-derstanding, reconnection,and Happily Ever After.

The difference is that thisbook adds a twist that mightdraw readers who don’t nor-mally go for romances: authorVictoria Alexander blends abit of “Taming of the Shrew”

into this novel. There’s also atouch of romp, a feel ofmodernity (even though thestory is set in Victorian times)and a surprisingly blisteringbedroom scene, so bewarebefore wrapping this as a gift.

If you’re the romancelover, though, “His Mistressby Christmas” promises to putthe jingle back in your bell.For you, this is a book todemand.

The Bookworm is TerriSchlichenmeyer. Terri hasbeen reading since she was 3-years-old and she never goesanywhere without a book. Shelives on a hill in Wisconsinwith two dogs and 12,000books.

SCHLICHENMEYER

THE BOOKWORM SEZ

To participate in the spiritof the holiday season, youmay be thinking of makingsome charitable gifts. If so,you’ll no doubt enjoy helpinga group that does valuablework.

But to begin with, it’simportant to understand justhow necessary your gifts areto the country’s social fabric.Given the effects of the GreatRecession and the slowrecovery, it’s not surprising tolearn that charitable givingfell a combined 13 percent in2008 and 2009, after adjust-ing for inflation, according toThe Center on Philanthropyat Indiana University.

And although 2010 givingincreased by 2.1 percent,again adjusted for inflation,many groups are seeing toughtimes as 2011 comes to aclose. So your gift counts.

And it can count for you,too. By contributing to aqualified tax-exempt organi-zation [e.g., a charitablegroup that has received501(c)(3) status from theIRS], you may earn valuabletax deductions. This is truewhether you give cash oranother type of asset, such asstocks or real estate. And youmay be able to get further taxbenefits if the noncash assetyou’ve donated has appreciat-ed in value since you pur-chased it.

Making charitable giftsnow may help you reduceyour taxable estate. As youmay know, the estate taxexemption level has fluctuat-ed in recent years, so it’s hardfor any of us to say for surethat we won’t be subjectingour estates to these taxes.

However, that doesn’tmean you can’t take stepsnow to plan for possiblefuture estate taxes.

One such step mightinvolve establishing a chari-table remainder trust. Underthis arrangement, you’d placesome assets, such as stocks orreal estate, in a trust, whichcould then use the assets topay you an income streamover a certain period of time.

When you establish thetrust, you may be able toreceive tax benefits based onthe amount the charity is like-ly to ultimately receive, thecharitable group’s so-called“remainder interest.”

Upon its termination, thetrust would relinquish theremaining assets to the chari-table organization you’venamed. Keep in mind,though, that this type of trustcan be complex; to establishone, you’ll need to work withyour qualified tax advisor andestate-planning attorney.

Another popular contribu-tion vehicle is the “donor-advised fund.” Here’s how itworks: You give cash orappreciated securities to thedonor-advised fund, with theexpectation of receiving a taxdeduction for the contributionin that same year.

You recommend whichcharities are to benefit fromthe contributions to the fund,and the fund invests and man-ages your contribution, alongwith the other assets in thefund.

Again, you’ll need to con-sult with your qualified taxadvisor before establishing adonor-advised fund to helpensure you obtain any expect-ed tax benefits.

As we’ve seen, you can fol-low different charitable giv-ing strategies. But howeveryou choose to make charita-ble gifts, you can take satis-faction in helping worthyorganizations while possiblyimproving your own tax pic-ture.

“You’re At HomeWith Us”

10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bringyou good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour,which is Christ the Lord.

12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babewrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of theheavenly host praising God, and saying,

14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good willtoward men.

Luke 2:1-14

Luke 2: The Birth of JesusAND it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree

from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. 2 (And this taxing was first made when Cy-re ni-us was 

governor of Syria.) 3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. 4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of

Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is calledBethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) 

5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. 6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accom-

plished that she should be delivered. 7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in

swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was noroom for them in the inn. 

8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in thefield, keeping watch over their flock by night. 

9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory ofthe Lord shone round about them; and they were sore afraid.
