Rolesville friends and neighbors chime in Wake Forest on holiday tradition, gratitude Christmas Parade to be held December 14 BY ISABELLA F. VIGILANTE
[email protected]
Area residents are invited to experience the sights and
sounds of the holiday season at the Wake Forest Christmas
Parade on Saturday, Dec. 14. Sponsored by PowerSecure and presented by Wake Forest Downtown, Inc., the parade gets underway at 1 p.m. This year’s procession will feature well over 100 colorful floats and entries from local businesses, churches, schools and civic groups, as well as several high school marching bands and – of course - Santa Claus.
A group of local Purple Heart recipients, along with several area World War II veterans, will serve as the parade’s grand marshals.
The procession will begin at the intersection of Elm Avenue and South White Street and continue north along South White Street before turning east onto Wait Avenue. It will then turn south onto South Brooks Street and continue until ending at the Elm Avenue intersection. Area motorists are advised that East Holding Avenue, from South Main Street to South Franklin Street, and South White Street, from East Holding Avenue to Elm Avenue, will be closed at 10 a.m.
In addition, South White Street, from Elm Avenue to East Roosevelt Avenue; Wait Avenue, from South White Street to South Brooks Street; and South Brooks Street, from Wait Avenue to Elm Avenue, will be closed to motorists at noon.
A downloadable Christmas parade map highlighting the parade route and related road closures is available at www. wakeforestnc.gov/wake-forest-christmas-parade.aspx. For more information about this year’s Wake Forest Christmas Parade, contact Downtown Development Director Lisa Newhouse at 919-435-9415 or

This year in discussing holiday traditions and sentiments with the people of our community, I was fortunate to learn so much about what traditions mean to different people in the Rolesville and Wake Forest area. To some, holiday traditions are about God. For others they revolve around family and friends. And food is often a uniting factor. I can really relate to that. I am half Italian and half German. To honor our German heritage, my mother, grandmother and I bake traditional stollen Christmas breads every year to give away to friends and family and to eat on Christmas morning. To honor my father’s Italian heritage, my mom prepares her own riff on the traditional Italian Christmas Eve Feast of the Seven Fishes. We eat shrimp, calamari and stuffed squid and, of course, pasta. It isn’t always pretty; there is usually some open-mouth chewing and a lot of yelling. But it’s the only time a year that my crazy, loud, beautiful family gets together under the same roof. There is music, wine, soft candle glow and good conversation. Those are my holiday traditions. I am so lucky that my friends and neighbors shared with me and taught me about their holiday traditions and feelings as we get closer to this holiday season. Here are some of my favorites, from the funny and sweet, to the profound: Dave Klemp, 21, of Wake Forest, says: “Our family has done Cookie Day every year a week or two before Christmas for as long as I can remember. We all get together and decorate hundreds of sugar and gingerbread cookies.” Joanna Alevizatos (pictured right), owner of Main Squeeze Salon and Boutique in Wake Forest, says: (Of her Greek heritage) “In Greek, merry/happy Christmas is ‘Kala Christougenna!’ The main Christmas meal is often lamb roasted in an oven or cooked over an open pit. Going to the midnight mass is very important and special. People go
home after the service and end their advent fast. “Greek people also celebrate the Epiphany on January 6th. This celebrates Jesus’s baptism. It is also known as the ‘Blessings of the Water.’ We (Greek people) are (the ones you might see) diving into frigid waters in the middle of winter to retrieve a cross that was blessed by a priest, and then thrown into the waters. The one who finds it (is believed to be blessed with) much luck during the year. As this holiday season approaches I want to celebrate and honor my family for instilling and continuing those yearly and wonderful traditions, (as well as) my friends who have become my family, and dove into plenty of waters for me! (I am also very thankful for) my clients (at the Main Squeeze), who continue to love and support me, (as well as) my new clients I’ve met in Wake Forest.” Rolesville Mayor Frank Eagles says: “I am very thankful to the Lord for all of my life. Everything comes from the Lord, family and friends. He has protected me through illness, surgeries and bypasses. He has given me a great place to live (Rolesville). He has allowed me to serve the citizens of the Town of Rolesville and the Rolesville community. That, in itself, is a great honor.” Kelina Farnham, 21, of Wake Forest (pictured right with boyfriend Adam S. Mullis), says: “I’m most thankful for the amazing support system I have in my life that are always there for me. Also, I’m thankful for being able to give back to others, knowing that I am lucky enough to share what I have is worth more than anything. My favorite holiday tradition is decorating my house for Christmas. It’s so nice to remember the memories while being able to make new memories. My family puts up around 30- to 40-thousand lights, so it’s a long process but ends up being a lot of fun.”

Selecting the proper holiday gift for your pet BY VANESSA DAVIS
[email protected]
Dogs Believe
in Santa Too!
GoldenChew is owned and operated by my brother James and me, Van. Our helping paws are Honey Dog and Butler Bug. We got into business a year ago to produce the ultimate all natural dog chew, GoldenChew. GoldenChews are an all-natural alternative to processed rawhides and plastic chews. We handcraft each GoldenChew from freshly shed, GRADE A, Elk Antler. The Elk antler comes from Montana where the Elk shed them every spring. Elk Antler has the largest marrow center of all antlers, they are splinter resistant, virtually odor/residue free, help maintain teeth and they satisfy the natural urge to chew.
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas; toys in ev’ry store. But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be on your own front door. With the holidays fast approaching, everyone is scampering around to find that perfect gift for Mom, Dad, the kids and the grandparents. But don’t forget Fido. He is a very important member of the family. No matter how many socks he’s chewed, meals he’s stolen or floors he’s wet, he still loves you. And you know that you still love him. Now, just what special gift will he be happy to receive? Remember, Fido isn’t materialistic. So bigger or more expensive is not always better. Dog toys should be fun, durable, and most of all, safe. However, those factors are completely dependent upon your dog’s size, activity level, and personal preference. You should also consider the environment in which your dog spends his time. By considering the following, you should be able to make a wise decision in choosing among the vast treats, gifts and pet accessories for the holidays. All dog toys should be appropriate for your dog’s current size. For example, balls should be large enough to carry, but not too small. Balls and other toys that are too small can easily be swallowed or become lodged in your dog’s mouth or throat. Avoid or alter any toys that aren’t “dog-proof” by removing ribbons, strings, eyes, or other parts that could be chewed and/or ingested. Taylor has one frog that he loves to carry around with him at home. There are times he even sleeps with this big green frog that somehow has become the exception to the shredded pile of fluff. He, like many other dogs, likes to play rough with fluff-packed toys. If your dog likes to rip apart his or her toys, take note of any toy that contains a “squeaker” buried in its center. Your dog may feel that he must find and destroy the squeak source and could ingest it, in which case squeaking objects should be “supervision only” toys. There are several stuffing-free dog toys that have come out; however, they are not indestructible, but some are sturdier than others. Soft toys should be machine washable. You want to make sure that you avoid rawhide and any toys made in China. I do not recommend using rawhides or rawhide-type
toys. Rawhides soften when chewed and can become stuck in a dog’s throat. Instead, very hard rubber dog toys are great for high-energy pets. They are available in a variety of shapes and sizes and are fun for chewing and for carrying around. Rope toys are always big hits with dogs that like to play fetch. Tennis balls make great dog toys, but keep an eye out for any that could be chewed through, and discard them immediately if they become cracked. If you dog gets bored quickly, dog toys that can be filled with broken-up dog treats or, even better, a mixture of broken-up treats and peanut butter can be challenging. The rightsized dog treat toy can keep a puppy or dog busy for hours. Only by chewing diligently can your dog access the treats, and then only in small bits – very rewarding! Double-check with your veterinarian about whether you should give peanut butter to your dog. It’s good to rotate your dog’s toys weekly by making only four or five toys available at a time. And it always good to provide toys that offer a variety of uses – at least one toy to carry, one to “kill,” one to roll and one to “baby.” Hide-and-Seek is also a fun game for dogs to play. “Found” toys are often much more attractive than a toy that is blatantly introduced. Making an interactive game out of finding toys or treats is a good rainy-day activity for your dog, using up energy without the need for a lot of space. Interactive play is very important for your dog because he needs active “people time.” By focusing on a specific task, like repeatedly returning a ball or playing hide-and-seek with treats or toys, your dog can expel pentup mental and physical energy in a limited amount of time and space. This greatly reduces stress due to confinement, isolation and/or boredom. For young, high-energy and untrained dogs, interactive play also offers an opportunity for socialization and helps them learn about appropriate and inappropriate behavior with people and with other animals, like jumping up or being mouthy. A great toy and treat in one are Golden Chews. Golden Chews are elk antlers, which are 100 percent natural, splinter resistant, mineral packed and long lasting treats for your pet. There tasty treats are harvested in the USA and are guaranteed to be fresh. Whether you get your pet a split, with the marrow easily accessible, or a whole, where they will have to work for it, Fido will definitely love you and enjoy the many hours he spends playing and chewing on his new Golden Chew.

Wake Forest ‘Thrift and Gift’ Shop a Fun, Unique Concept for a Good Cause
BY ISABELLA F. VIGILANTE
[email protected]
It is almost hard to believe that the beautifully refurbished cottage at 839 South Main Street now houses a charity thrift store. Upon first glance, the location, now home to 501c3 nonprofit The Giving Tree, feels a lot more like a cute and trendy boutique, with its dark wood interior moldings and sassy, fun decor. Leigh Grieco, the Giving Tree’s board president, was going for exactly that vibe. “Most of our items are donations,” Grieco said. “We want to take the items that are loved, but maybe don’t really fit in your decor anymore, (such as) the pieces you keep pulling out of the closet during spring cleaning, but you can’t quite push yourself to throw away. Those are our niche items, we want to take those beautiful pieces that you love and give them new life.” And standing in the front room of The Giving Tree, one can see that this goal has been realized. Absent is the trademark thrift store dust and clutter. Browsing at The Giving Tree does not feel like treasure hunting as thrift shopping sometimes tends to, and one needn’t pick through tons of shabby items to find a diamond in the rough. Instead the merchandise is clean, neat and imaginatively staged by Grieco and her team, making every item on The Giving Tree’s fun and funky sales floor feel like a diamond. Another way that The Giving Tree sets itself apart from many other charity or nonprofit thrift and resale stores is its very direct and personal relationship to its immediate com-
Most of the items for sale throughout the store are from donations.

Everyone gets the same opEnchanting portunity to participate and earn funds for their school. It’s a very, very local way to give Magical back.” Grieco has a very personal connection to the Wonderful cause of area schools. As former PTO president of her daughter’s school, Saint Catherine of Siena in Wake Forest, Grieco had been involved in school fundraising. “So (The Giving Tree) really started as a different vision for fundraising,” Grieco said of the nonprofit. The Giving Tree has been at its South Main Street location since August. As of last week, Grieco and the staff had just finished decorating the store for its first Christmas. Grieco explained that all the Christmas Saturday Tickets on Sale Now decorations and “just about everything else” December 14, 2013 http://tayloracademy.com/ in the store are donations that are now for sale, nutcracker tickets/ right down to the ornaments on a petite artifiWakefield High School cial tree near the front door. $15 or $17 in advance 2 pm Matinee or “Everything except the reindeer on the Please contact 919.556.2332 if you need assistance 6 pm Evening Performance or to reserve Handicapped Seating mantle,” she interjected, referring to the large ceramic figurine adorning the cozy front room’s hearth. “It seems like everybody asks about him, but he’s not for sale!” The Giving Tree boasts a diverse assortment of resale items, from designer handbags Medicare Advantage Plans with prescription drug coverage to children’s toys. They also sport a line of new earrings and Strong network of contracted doctors and hospitals accessories hand-picked by Grieco and her team. “We like to call ourselves One of the most trusted health insurers in a ‘thrift and gift’ boutique,” North Carolina for Medicare beneficiaries1 Grieco said of The Giving Tree’s inventive and fun approach to the charity resale shop concept.

Police Turkey Drive Helps Wake Forest Families The Wake Forest Police Department concluded its Seventh Annual Turkey Drive by distributing over 700 turkeys to area families at the Wake Forest Community House on Monday, November 25. The turkeys went fast during the first-come, first-served event. According to Det. M.W. Sattler, the founder and organizer of the annual Turkey Drive, several residents reported arriving as early as 5:30 a.m. to receive their frozen turkey. “We provided just over 700 turkeys to people in need,” Sattler said. “The event would not be possible without the incredible assistance of area residents, businesses and other organizations whose generosity helped make the Thanksgiving holiday a little easier for hundreds of people and families.” Sattler organized the police department’s first Turkey Drive in 2007. Since then, the department has distributed more 3,400 turkeys to needy families in our area. To view photos from the turkey giveaway, visit www.wakeforestnc.gov/turkey-drive.aspx.

Restoration CDC Restoration Community Development Corporation’s mission is to “improve the economic, educational and housing needs of the underserved residents in Northern Wake County.” It takes very little time sitting in the office of Eugenia Pleasant, President/ CEO of Restoration CDC, to see that fulfilling the mission is no simple task. Restoration CDC is the outreach arm of New Bethel Baptist Church and was the vision of Pastor Lenwood Long in trying to bring about more community involvement. There is a food pantry which expands to food baskets during the holidays, a clothing closet, STEM program for young girls a HOPE program which provides mentoring, financial, educational and job searching assistance, a Toys for Tots spreadsheet to make Christmas wishes come true and the list goes on… In addition to Pleasant’s work with Restoration CDC, Eugenia is very active with the Rolesville Chamber, its Board of Directors and many of its committees.

(StatePoint) Shopping for gardeners this holiday season? You can make their season a bit brighter by shopping with their favorite hobby in mind. Here are a few ideas that will put a smile on the face of those green-thumbed family members and friends:
Make a Statement
Upgrade a hobby wardrobe with gear that’s not only stylish, but functional too. If your gardener is still watering, hedging, weeding and working in the yard in an old pair of beat-up sneakers, consider a pair of garden clogs designed for the specific chores associated with working in the yard or garden. Easy-to-clean and waterproof, they make a great present. Or consider a utility apron in your gift recipient’s favorite colors or pattern.

This ultraviolet light is invisible to humans but takes advantage of the keen eyesight of birds, creating a visual barrier on windows to help prevent fatal collisions. “Wildlife can beautify a garden.

Wildlife Commission testing deer heads By Mike Zlotnicki The N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission is sampling deer harvests this month for the agency’s statewide Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) surveillance effort. CWD is a fatal disease, although deer may not show symptoms for five years or more. No treatment or cure for CWD exists. Direct, animal-to-animal contact is a means of transmission, but evidence also suggests that contaminated environments present risks. Humans are not known to contract CWD. Although CWD has not been detected in North Carolina, deer populations have tested positive for the disease in Virginia, West Virginia and 20 other states, as well as in two Canadian provinces. The Wildlife Commission conducts surveillance of the white-tailed deer population to monitor for the presence of the disease and prevent its spread if it is detected in the state’s deer population. Last month, a friend of mine killed a big-bodied, small-racked buck in Halifax County. After quartering the deer, we removed the head (a macabre act, to be sure) and called Andrew Mynatt, a Commission wildlife forest manager, who drove out to pick up the specimen, one of several hundred he and Conservation Technician Adam Johnson have collected in the area from hunters and some road-kills. Mynatt took the harvest information on a form and used a topographic map to mark the exact site of the kill. The Commission has been conducting CWD surveillance of white-tailed deer since 1999, including two statewide sampling efforts in 2003 and 2008, and smaller scale sub-sampling efforts in other years. The 2013 surveillance effort will be the most extensive yet as Commission staff seeks to collect samples from a minimum of 3,000 deer from across the state. Maria Palamar, the Commission’s wildlife veterinarian, said in a release, “We’ll collect the brain stem and retropharyngeal lymph nodes to submit for laboratory testing. Collection of these tissues does not interfere with a hunter’s ability to retain the

14.33 pounds, good for $600. Lonnie Whitfield of Burlington and Phillip Smith of Mebane landed five bass weighing 14.30 pounds to earn $360 for a third-place finish. Fourth place went to Dennis Reedy of Siler City and Tommy Marrow of Oxford. They caught five bass weighing 13.78 pounds to pocket $240.
This buck with half of a rack will be tested for Chronic Wasting Disease by the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission.

antlers or consume the meat.” Hunters who want to assist the Commission in this effort should contact their local district wildlife biologists to discuss the collection process. Contact information for each of the Commission’s nine district biologists, as well as the three regional wildlife supervisors, can be found at.ncwildlife.org/Portals/0/Hunting/Documents/ WMDistrictBiologistContacts.pdf. Hunters can also call the Commission’s Division of Wildlife Management at 919707-0050. Suitable samples can be taken from any deer 1½ years or older. While younger deer (i.e., button bucks) can potentially have the disease, it will not have progressed far enough that it can be detected in the testing. For more information on hunting in North Carolina, visit ncwildlife.org/hunting, or call the Division of Wildlife Management at 919-7070050.

O
ne night, long ago, a very young couple arrived in a very small town, searching for a place to rest for the evening. The young man was a carpenter. His wife was expecting a baby at any time, and we might imagine that they were exhausted from the journey of the day. As providence would have it, due to a requirement by the government that all citizens should return to the place of their birth to be registered, Bethlehem was filled to capacity and not a single room could be secured for these weary, needy travelers. They were offered instead, by a compassionate innkeeper, a place to rest where the animals were stabled. On the one hand, these weary travelers were not unlike us: taking care of business, doing what was required of them, and simply needing a place to lodge for the evening. But on the other hand, they were very different! They had been selected by God to be the earthly parents of the long-awaited Messiah, Emmanuel, the Son of God. Although very few recognized it that night, the greatest biological miracle in history was about to take place. This young woman who gave birth was a virgin. Mary had never “slept” with a man. This baby was conceived by the Holy Spirit and was indeed “the Son of God.” Jesus was different from any baby born before or after that blessed night. This is what Christmas is really all about, so I would encourage you to read from your Bible Matthew chapters 1 and 2, and Luke chapters 1 and 2. Take a few moments to read these verses slowly, think about them, read them again, and let the real meaning of Christmas find its way into your heart. God bless you, and Merry Christmas!
