Editors’ Note As I sit to type this piece (which is always the last thing I do before press time) it is exactly 4 weeks until Christmas Day. I have to admit, I love this season... it’s my favourite of all the holidays throughout the year. It’s not the shopping for gifts (too stressful) and it’s not the pressure of seeing family (sometimes hard to do with two large families), it’s everything that leads up to it. I love decorating for the holidays, visiting and having people drop in, and having a little break to do something for myself. After this issue we don’t return to your homes until February. It has always been this way since the start of the magazine. Ten issues a year – and this month is the beginning of our 13th! Wow, we’ve come a long way. I remember going door to door, business to business asking for you to see our vision, in a ‘new’ idea for a community magazine. Well, some of our advertisers and writers have been with us since the beginning. A big thank you to all of you! Thank you to our readers for your loyal support over the years. We are grateful for the community, which opened their doors to us, and are happy to continue. Your comments and suggestions make us better. Remember that the ‘little guys’ can succeed too! Merry Christmas to you all and see you in the New Year! Drop us a line anytime, we are always interested. Visit our website www.TheBulletinMagazine.com, we will continue to update it until we return in the New Year.

Keep intake and exhaust vents for furnaces and heating appliances free of ice and snow build up to reduce the risk of carbon monoxide in your home. 4. Install a carbon monoxide detector in your home. 5. Burn dry, well seasoned wood in fireplaces and woodstoves to reduce the risk of creosote build up in your chimney. 6.
