incoln is neither Mayberry nor Bedford Falls. Nevertheless, they share a common and very desirable feature. It is a small town providing the essence of values and traditions that form the bedrock for rural America where traditions run deep. Mayberry was the fictional town in the popular Andy Griffith television series that ran in the 1960s and has been used as a term to describe idyllic small-town life and rural ease. The series successful eight-year run certainly attests to the popularity of that romanticized model for TV viewers of the time. Bedford Falls, on the other hand, was the fictional small town home to George Bailey, played by
actor Jimmy Stewart in the Christmas classic, Its a Wonderful Life, first released in 1946. This film has become ubiquitous around the holidays and can usually be found on various television channels throughout the season. That both the TV series and the film have retained their popularity as virtual icons of ease, joy and some frustration in a small-town setting should not be lost on those of us fortunate enough to live in Lincoln. We will find cynics who disparage both entertainment pieces. Indeed, given the economic and financial distress the nation and the world have endured in 2011, the temptation to focus on negatives is strong. But that would miss the essential simple joys of
the season that can be evident by looking at our city and its merchants and speaking to a few of its proud residents.
Personal Plans
We asked a few Lincolnites for their ideas and plans to celebrate the holiday. Focus on friends, family and church are central themes for many. Bob and Linda McCollum may be typical with family scattered throughout California plus a daughter in Washington. The tradition has been to visit or host children and grandchildren in locations that vary from yearto-year. This year, the McCollums play host to Lindas mother plus a son and his family, who live in Lincoln. Church services will be a central feature in their holiday activities as will social events sponsored by the Sun City Lincoln Hills Community Association. Allan and Lea Raynal find the spirit of Christmas in their family and
church as they celebrate the nativity and anticipate the beginning of the new year. For Paul and Marilyn Krow, the holidays also have a family and spiritual focus but theirs is the Jewish holiday, Hanukkah, which begins at sunset on Dec. 21. Celebration with family typically includes brisket of beef with potato latkes and apple sauce. According to Paul Krow, this is a family favorite for the younger grandchildren. They get too many toys and eat too much food and candy but it happens once a year, he said. Jeff and Sherry Greenberg will also celebrate Hanukkah this year in Lincoln, entertaining family from Nashville, Tenn. The Greenbergs will celebrate both the Jewish and Christian holidays,
owing to the blending of families and traditions. This blending of traditions seems to be coming more commonplace in our society, resulting in mixed celebrations. Our family has had this experience with our relatives who celebrate Hanukkah while we celebrate Christmas. When we can get together, the menorah shares billing with the Christmas tree as the families gather to dine, reminisce and look forward to the new year. When the respective holidays are just a few days apart, the joint feasting and ecumenism is even more prominent. Lincoln Mayor Paul Joiner will spend his first Christmas with new wife, Lisa, as they blend two families into one. Its a mixture of old traditions shared and new traditions

yet to be discovered, according to the mayor. Joiner is an artist and Lisa a writer. Together, we create our own Christmas card each year (her words, my drawings) to be shared with those we love. Joiner described other aspects of their celebration as Christmas cards completed ... with carols playing in the background, we carefully unwrap treasured ornaments collected over our lifetimes and, believe it or not, trim 11 themed Christmas trees - some large, some small. Its quite a sight. Its the perfect setting for gatherings of family and friends, and the birth of new traditions. Councilman Tom Cosgrove weighed in with some of his family holiday
traditions. When my wife, Karen, was very young, her parents arranged for a neighbor on Christmas Eve to knock on the door, then scoot away leaving a gift from her from Santas Elves, Cosgrove said. The gift was pajamas for her to wear that Christmas Eve as she went to sleep anticipating Santas visit that night. Years later, he continued, when our first two children were very young, my wife recalled how surprised she was by the Elves gift and we did the same for our children. Thus began the tradition of Santas Elves leaving pajamas as a Christmas Eve gift for the children in our family. The practice continued through the childrens teen years and into adult-
hood, according to Cosgrove. Sometimes, if one our children were away at Christmas time, the Elves sent their gift through the mail with a note to open on Christmas Eve. The tradition has continued with the Cosgrove children, who now have their own families. Having seen the excitement on the faces of our children and grandchildren when they hear the knock on the door on Christmas Eve, Karen and I believe that the Elves will be delivering a Christmas Eve gift to the children of many generations to come, Cosgrove said. This all suggests that holiday traditions in Lincoln continue to be strong. Perhaps small towns encourage that. If so, we should be thankful for our community.

ave you ever read the book or seen the movie A Christmas Carol? Its the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, written by Charles Dickens in 1843. Although written in 1843, it has surely stood the test of time, as it is still a very relevant, holiday story that teaches us the true meaning of Christmas. Scrooge is a hard, cold miser who spends his days counting his profits and wishing the world would leave him alone. He doesnt believe in charity and he is certain that those who do are just lazy bums looking for a handout. In the movie, two men

collecting donations for charity come to Scrooge expecting that such a wealthy businessman will contribute to their cause but Scrooge refuses. He insists that there are government-established forms of aid, and if more is needed to help the poor, its the governments responsibility. In todays economic climate, there are those who believe as Scrooge. They think that it is the govern-
ments responsibility to take care of the poor. However, government has funding challenges and many programs have been cut. The poor are growing in number. Although the economy is difficult, America is still a wealthy nation and there are still enough resources to ensure that every person is clothed, fed and living in a dignified manner. This is Lighthouses vision for the region, and if you have a similar vision and want to join in truly making a difference, then here are a few suggestions:

It is essential during these economic times that we band together and care for each other.
Host a holiday party
Ask each attendee to bring a gift card or a donation that can be given to a local nonprofit organization. If every holiday party in the region made this a practice, we would experience abundance instead of lack during the holidays.
Donate food

ecember 2011 is an historic time in the Northern California housing market. Here in Lincoln, we have such a wonderful variety of housing options. From beautiful country properties at Camp Far West and the Mt. Pleasant area to our classic downtown, out to Lincoln Hills, Twelve Bridges, Catta Verdera, Lincoln Crossing, Fosket Ranch, Teal Hollow, and it goes on and on. Yes folks, we do live in a great town. The Highway 65 bypass will soon be in and new restaurants, businesses and stores are moving in. Thunder Valley concerts are great, making

that we are at a turning point. There are good signs of life in our citys business community, and the more we support our local businesses, the better off we will be as a town. I encourage you, this Christmas season, to get out and get to know some of your local professionals and consciously try to do business in Lincoln. This is a time for reflection and enjoying the holidays. Americans have always shown resiliency and courage under pressure. Researchers are concluding that each person has an innate capacity for resiliency, a self-righting tendency that operates best when resiliencybuilding conditions are in their lives. These are called goals and I know that we as a community should set some and make 2012 an even better year.
Lincoln an even more attractive destination. This years tanker fire really made us think about how much we love our little community and how we came together in a time of crisis. It kinda makes you proud! Yes, I know the economy is down and things have been tough, but I believe we have been making it better by just carrying on. Many of our community leaders feel
The fact is that with the low cost of housing and the incredibly low interest rates, its cheaper to buy than rent. Most of the foreclosures and short sale homes have turned over and have already been re-sold in Lincoln. This means many of the first foreclosure and short sale participants are now coming back in to the purchasing market. Banks seem to be working more with sellers on short sales. Now there are new loans coming out to reward the upside-down folks who have been making their payments that feature lower interest rates. That will put more spendable income back

in to the market. This means we, as a town, could be far down the road toward economic recovery. For all of this, we are thankful. We have a thriving city with an everexpanding business community. With even more entrepreneurs coming in and taking advantage of the low commercial real estate rent rates and prices, we wont really have to leave town to shop as much. In other words, we are getting more consumer options all the time. As this happens, there will be more jobs. Many folks I know have gone back to the basics with a good dose of oldfashioned work ethic. Those who have are starting to do better already. Dont lose your patience. This community is like our house and we need to take care of it. This Christmas, when you purchase gifts, try to give a service such as haircutting, restaurant gift certificates, local crafts, homemade goods or whatever, and do it locally. When you are in the store, please look at the labels and try to buy American products if you can. It makes a difference. Its our city and our choice. Have a super holiday and look forward to a prosperous New Year!

The holidays are a time for celebration, but they can be hazardous for our pets. Here are some precautions you can take to ensure your holidays are cheerful for all. Holiday decorations pose a real threat. They are commonly ingested by pets, especially dogs, so try to put them out of reach. Hang garland and ornaments high enough that the dogs cant jump to grab them. Tinsel is the most dangerous, as it can cut through the intestine and is very difficult to diagnose with X-ray. Pets can easily die from this, unless surgery is performed
quickly. Cats are most likely to do this as they are prone to like stringy items. Cats and dogs have been known to chew on cords. This can cause symptoms ranging from burns to the tongue and lips to death. Hide the cords in hard plastic PVC pipes where possible. Also you can spray a bitter apple to try to dissuade them from chewing. Family dinners, with rich food and relatives who may not understand that feeding the dog table food, can cause severe problems. We see many cases of pancreatitis in dogs around the holidays from eating meat and other fatty foods. Symp-
toms are vomiting and diarrhea, a very painful abdomen, lethargy and lack of appetite. Certain plants associated with the holidays can be toxic to pets. Poinsettias can cause irritation of the mouth and stomach, but in general are much less of a threat than holly and mistletoe. Holly can cause vomiting, diarrhea and depression. Mistletoe is very toxic, causing vomiting and diarrhea, cardiovascular collapse, trouble breathing, low heart rate and low blood pressure. Pets may drink water from the Christmas tree that could contain additives to keep the tree fresh. These in general are
of low toxicity but the composition may vary. These easy precautions can help prevent sick pets and ensure your family has a happy holiday season.

oliday greetings to each of you from the Lincoln Area Chamber of Commerce! This month, instead of doing the talking myself, Id like you to hear from some of our members and other local citizens who are benefiting from the chambers mission and activities. We appreciate these comments and the gift of support they convey.
sterlingpointevetclinic.com
Dearest staff and chamber members! We are overwhelmed and immensely grateful for the support from the chamber and the Lincoln community. In our wildest dreams, we never thought we would have such a successful opening. The chamber came out to make us feel welcome and bought furniture and accessories with abandon! The Lincoln community has proven to be as awe-
some as we suspected. Not only because we are 80 percent sold out on our third day in business but because they have hearts filled with generosity and love. This is a fabulous community and we hope to be an integrate part of Lincolns downtown success for many years! Our deepest thanks to all!
~ Pam Elliott and Randi Lorenzo, Lincoln Boulevard Home Consignment
I want to thank the Lincoln Area Chamber of Commerce for the outstanding job they are doing to make the Thursday night downtown Farmers Market a total success. I attend most Thursday evenings and want to thank the vendors for their generous donations of their produce and other items to make the free raffle at 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. a special event. The music is awesome with very talented musicians. If you havent been to Farmers Market, you are missing a delightful evening. The hometown atmosphere is really special.

I enjoyed the Showcase so much I wanted to take a moment and thank you for a great time. I was in Redding a week or two ago for their beer and wine festival. It didnt come close to your event. Your event was very well organized and perfectly balanced for the size and number of people. The bands were excellent. The audience was polite and well behaved, which was not the case in Redding. I liked having the small tables and chairs. It was nice being able to take a chair into the plaza area and sit and watch the festivities and band. Having bottled water available was a nice touch too. The chamber did a great job on this ... Again, thank you.

It is reasonable to expect that banks in general will be looking to recover some of the revenues lost with the enactment of federal legislation that effectively limited how much banks can charge merchants for debit-card use. And while consumers were lashing banks for the additional fees, credit unions were stepping up their campaigns to attract
dissatisfied bank customers. Various reports have noted that banks are now flooded with cash, suggesting that they are not seeking to retain customers or attract new ones. Our conversations with several bank officials paint a different picture. We are interested in keeping all our customers, said Wells Fargo spokesperson Julie Campbell. Our companys vision to satisfy all our customers financial needs and help them succeed financially has nothing to do with getting bigger. Its about building lifelong relationships, one customer at a time.
The move to bank locally is a powerful one, according to Umpqua Bank spokesperson Eve Callahan. Umpqua views itself as a community bank and stresses extensive community involvement. Although Umpqua and the credit unions seem similar in terms of their focus, there are sharp differences. For example, credit unions do not have business accounts and they do not make commercial loans. Umpqua does both. But Umpqua, as well as the other Lincoln banks, is publicly owned, meaning they answer to their shareholders. The Lincoln credit unions are mem-
ber-owned nonprofits that are more like financial cooperatives. Credit unions answer to their members and typically distribute profits in the form of favorable loan rates and higher interest rates for deposits. Marketing hype and good intentions aside, banks and credit unions perform many of the same functions. And its up to the consumer to ferret out which features translate into benefits for them. In earlier articles on personal finance, I highlighted a technique to analyze financial decisions. The technique has five paragraphs. Lets
revisit this tool and see how it works in assessing your decision on where to place your money.

deposits to waive some fees? Other than paying service fees, what else must you do to maintain the relationship you have established with this bank or credit union? Can you routinely check your balances online? How userfriendly is their software? And can you readily obtain customer support online or by telephone?
Add it all Up
Not all financial institutions are created equal and not all will have the features that translate into benefits for you. Each has a right to cover their overhead and, in some cases show a profit. So some of them charge fees. That doesnt make them bad. But it could make them a less than desirable choice for you. Conduct an analysis and see what makes sense for you.

arlier this year, I wrote a couple of articles on replacing and repairing home appliances and systems. Earlier this month, I listened to a couple of conversations regarding home repair costs that suggested I should revisit my earlier cautions. One of my speakers expressed some concerns about her 20-year old hot water heaters performance and life expectancy. When I asked her if she had ever replaced the expansion tank, I received a blank stare from both her and her companion. Whats that, they questioned. Meanwhile, the other participant in this conversation recounted how she had just replaced the

springs on her garage door opener. It seems she had a single spring mechanism on her door that was installed by the developer/builder and it failed. Of course, it failed on a weekend, leaving the door in a position so it could not be opened. You guessed it her car was inside the garage so she had to wait for the repairman to open the door so she could drive to work. Fortunately, her husbands truck was in the driveway when the door malfunctioned so she could catch a ride. Does anyone doubt that Murphys Law is alive and well? And there are those who say Murphy was an optimist.
that its failing and should be replaced. Repair is generally not an option. And, if you have an expansion tank typically a small blue tank mounted on top of your water heater and its as old as the water heater, chances are good it is getting ready to fail. Plumbers tell us these expansion tanks rust from the inside out, usually beginning with a pinhole leak that will allow a steady stream of water under pressure to fill your garage or wherever else you store your water heater. And, because Murphy is alive and well, that pinhole may also face your drywall. So now you have to replace some soggy drywall as well as clean up the mess from the accumulated water.

Garage door springs are typically under considerable tension, making installation more of a challenge than most DIYers are capable of handling.
You can purchase replacement hot water heaters at Home Depot or Lowes. Either will install it for you at extra cost of course or you can have your own plumber do the job. Your plumber can also obtain a replacement water tank for you from his wholesale sources. Plan to spend around $800 to $950 for the job. But do your homework and get at least three bids. The package deals from local plumbers can be attractive as thats basically a one-stop shopping experience. Finally, dont forget Lincolns permitting requirements when replacing your water heater. That will cost you a little over $50 for various fees and is obtained at the citys building department.
