summer tans have faded away.
What to do to make your holiday
season more enjoyable? Inside this issue
of THE GOOD life youll fnd plenty of
ways to survive this hectic season, from
a socially-conscious gift fair (page 6), to
museum events (pages 14 and 21) and
gallery happenings (page 16).
Does your family have a special
tradition? Mary Beth Ryan reminisces
about Christmases past in her intimate
memoir (page 36). Perhaps a stroll
through the National Christmas Center
(page 34), where its Christmas every
day, will jog a long-forgotten family
memory.

a part of the season. A staple of
holiday baking, ginger is both sweet

f it seems that the holidays have gotten a bit out
of control, with costly gifts like smart phones,
entertainment centers, designer handbags and even
fancy cars, consider this: You could spend a lot less and
make a much bigger diference to someone in the world,
or even close to home, with a gift from the heart.
For many people, alternative gifts, or gifts with more
meaning and a lower price tag, seem more appropriate
in a time of overspending and over-commercialization. Besides,
just how many more gifts can you come up with for your
grandparents, who already have everything they need, or friends
who are on tight budgets.
Have you ever considered a gift that really means something? Like a beaded
necklace made from recycled paper by a woman in Uganda, who will use her
earnings to feed her children? Or a goat that will give a family in Africa
accessibility to nutritious milk, cheese and yogurt? How about a llama for a Latin
American family that will help them transport goods through the hills to their
village? Or an adorable knitted fnger puppet that will delight your grandson and
help a family in South America?

A
beautifully wrapped gift
truly enhances the gift giving
experience. Its easy to create
great-looking, personal gift
wrapping that is as much fun to open as it
is to receive.
Add fair with unexpected wrapping materials
Ribbons dont actually have to be made of ribbon. Go
above and beyond traditional wrapping paper and bows by
using non-traditional materials to wrap your gift. Delight
the fashionistas in your life by using fun, colorful belts to
keep boxes secure (and sneak them an extra accessory too).
When giving cookware, wrap the package in new kitchen
towels. For a going away party, wrap the gift in maps or
images of the recipients destination. Attending a high
school graduation party? Add a fun bumper sticker from
the grads soon-to-be college or university. Make bows
out of rafa, use leftover wallpaper instead of wrapping
paper, or tie a scarf around the handles of a gift bag to add
something extra special to your present.
Create a one-of-a-kind container
Forego wrapping paper entirely and decorate the
box itself. Create a unique design using stickers, stencil
a monogram or pattern on the top, or decoupage it
with images that remind you of the recipient. Printed
packaging tape can also help makeover your gift package
completely cover the box in tape, or use it to create

stripes, chevron, checks or other patterns. To make the
gift extra special, choose an unexpected item or shape to
hold your present. Buckets, hat boxes, or (new) take-out
containers can make for interesting packages. And, once
its been personalized, the container itself serves as an
added element of the gift.
Look to the occasion for inspiration
Teme your gift wrapping around the special occasion
or holiday that youre celebrating. Bridal shower? Use
wedding traditions to inspire your wrapping make sure
it includes something borrowed (perhaps a beautiful pin to
tie the ribbon), something blue (tissue paper), something
old (include a photo of you and the bride on the box) and
something new (the gift). On birthdays, be inspired by the
recipients age on a twelfth birthday, divide the gift into
twelve small items, or wrap the present in an item that
represents that number, like pages from a calendar.
Make shipped items special
Even when loved ones are far away, its simple to make
the outside of their package special and personal. Besides
helping to glamorize gift wrapping or boxes, you can also
use printed packaging tape to ship items to loved ones
away from home. Use a camo pattern to send a gift to a
friend or family member away in the military, or inspire
some relaxation in stressed-out college students with
a care package wrapped with one of the other colorful
patterns. It will make the package stand out and keep
items safely secured.
Whether youre a gift-wrapping pro or just learning to
tie a ribbon, these easy tips will help you to give stylishly
wrapped gifts for all of your special occasions. Pick up a
few materials and let your imagination go the present
and the wrapping are sure to doubly delight your next gift
recipient.

necklaces, bracelets, earrings, sunglasses,
scarves, hats, belts and more. For your home,
think pillows, paintings, prints, candles,
vases, fowers, tablecloths, draperies, window
treatments, antiques, plants and all those
unusual accent pieces.
Tere is no doubt that accessories make
the look, says Kathy Frey Terkeltaub, who
owns Festoon in downtown Lancasters Shops
at Hager and at the Shoppes at Brighton of
Fruitville Pike.
At Festoon, the mission is to Awaken and
Inspire with Passion the Creative Spirit within
those we Serve. And they do that quite nicely.

Stitch Design, Comfy, Sympli the best, Adore,

Yala. Yala, by the way, is a line of sophisticated

Zazou and TOKYObay
Watches. And the prices
are pleasantly afordable,
such as earrings for $42,
fne art necklaces for
$72 and sunglasses for a
mere $19.
Baggallini is the name
for fashionable and functional tote bags,
handbags and travel accessories that look as
good as they perform. Ten there is Hollywood
Fashion Tape, the secret of the stars to prevent
fashion malfunctions like gaping cleavage or
unstitched hemlines. Fashion forward Tokyo
Bay features watches, mini-clocks, handbags
and accessories that appeal to design-conscious
individuals of every age and style.
I am crazy passionate about putting it
all together to create the most wonderful
sensory experience a customer can have, said
Terkeltaub, who opened Festoon in Downtown
Lancaster in 2004.
After many years as a fashion illustrator
for Hager department store back in the 70s,
Terkeltaub never would have guessed that she
would own a shop inside the store for which
she once did illustrations. Her frst business
was the avant-garde fower shop in Marietta
known as Kathys Flower Werks. With
Festoons frst location in Lancaster, followed
by the Lititz location, she is able to combine
her love of fashion with her fair for home
decor with a selection of botanically-correct
silk fowers, greeting cards, locally-made soy
candles and more.
Its all about accessories, said Terkeltaub,
adding that it could be a signature necklace
and a distinctive scarf for you, or a collection
of pretty picture frames and a vase flled with
fowers for your home.
With accessories you can transform the
classic little black dress into just about any
look, from ofce style to country casual to
festive holiday party. For example, you can
add instant style to that black dress with
a Cleopatra-inspired pearl, golden and blue
gemstone necklace and bracelet, with a very
cool pair of aviator sunglasses in teal blue and
tortoise. Change the look completely with a
high style silk scarf with appliques, an artsy
bronze and textured leather belt and ultra
loopy bronze hoop earrings.
Dress it up with rich jewel tones in a glittering
multicolor beaded bag, sparkly magenta,
cobalt and golden bangles and pink, blue and
golden gemstone dangle earrings. Or go silver
with a silvery chainmail handbag, a silver and
bracelet with grey, ruby red and sapphire blue
gemstones and hammered silver earrings.
Looking for more ideas? How about a
shimmery teal and black handbag with a teal
lucite necklace? Or a high-impact turquoise
blue geometric necklace with a blue-toned
scarf and hammered silver hoops? Animal
prints are very hot this season, so consider a
leopard print handbag with a leopard necklace
and spotted earrings? Or a black and white
snakeskin choker with snakeskin earrings and
a modern 60s style black squared of bracelet?
At Festoon, you can let your imagination
and eye take you in many directions, and every
one of them is festively fun!

is not an artist,
but he is the
experienced and
knowl edgeabl e
go-to guy for
art supplies in
downt own Lancaster, at 29 East King
Street. He and his brother, David, teamed up
as business partners and run two art stores
between them. David operates the shop in
Kutztown, PA, which opened its doors a
couple years prior to the Lancaster store.
e Art Store, Inc. has been a small,
family-run xture in Lancaster since 1989,
although it has hopped around a bit and
probably doubled its space with each move.
Pinkerton says the initial shop was located
in the Central Market Mall on Queen Street,
while the succeeding moves have both been
to King Street.
e store generates business with
many repeat customers who are looking
for drawing, painting, print and drafting
supplies. Art students who need particular
materials for class, hobbyists and local,
professional artists and crafts people nd
what theyre looking for in his oor-to-ceiling
inventory, which Pinkerton describes as,
primarily a traditional ne art supply store.
Whether you sculpt or sketch, dabble in
watercolors, oils or acrylics, e Art Store is a
great place to browse. You can also purchase
gift certicates or materials needed by the
student in your family to create the award-
winning annual school science fair entry.
Although the brothers experienced the
loss of a market due to the digital revolution
in graphic arts, they added a market through
their online presence (www.theartstore.
com), supplying customers with a 24/7
ordering service. Weve also deepened
our existing lines of ne art supplies, says
Pinkerton. Additionally, e Art Store oers
a full custom framing service, along with the
materials, such as backing and mat board, for
do-it-yourself framing projects at home.
Times being what they are, Pinkerton
says, I feel good weve managed to survive
as a small, locally-owned store, oering
personalized service.

THE GOOD LIFE Holiday 2012

As the North Museum prepared to open
its doors almost 60 years ago, its founders
probably never thought that someday, in the
distant future, its hallowed halls would host
an exhibit centered on the bathroom habits
of dinosaurs.
Or, for that matter, sparkle with the
shimmer of diamonds. All in the name of
science, of course.
Next year, the North, formally known as the
North Museum of Natural History & Science,
celebrates its sixth decade of educating young
people and delighting their grown-up
parents in the wonders of archeology,
geology, ornithology, paleontology, the stars
that shine above and rocks and minerals
uncovered from below.
And, yes, dinosaur droppings. But that
mixture of lightheartedness and learning
is what has enabled the North to endure.
Education is paramount at the museum which
anchors a corner of Lancasters Buchanan
Park. But so is having fun. It has been that
way with generations of local schoolchildren
did you go to the North on a ffth-grade
feld trip? as well as visitors from afar.
Youd be surprised how many people come
here from Philadelphia, from York, even as far
as Virginia, said Executive Director Margie
Marino.
Inside the North walls, folks will fnd a
planetarium (the largest in the area) the skull
of a tyrannosaurus rex, an eye-popping rocks
and minerals collection, the stufed body of
a two-headed calf (which everybody seems to
remember, Marino noted) live bees (housed
outdoors; visitors can peruse them through
an observation window) and gigantic live
cockroaches (mercifully doing their thing behind
thick glass).
Tere are also traditional museum touches,
such as a large predator and prey taxidermy
display that greets customers as they enter
(which will win the wolves or the elk? Te
question is frozen in time). But the North isnt
just for looking. Touching and interaction are
encouraged.
Last year, for instance, the North hosted
SunWorks, a solar-themed art contest held
by the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory, a
joint project between NASA and the European
Space Agency. Local kids were encouraged to
create sun-related works that took their place
on museum walls alongside eforts from
around the nation and world.
Tat was the best exhibit! Marino
enthused. And, in a more recent example of
interaction, the Norths planetarium housed
space fans who stayed into the wee hours to
watch live coverage of NASAs Curiosity rover
land on Mars. Some 30 people enjoyed the
event, and, when the rover hit the ground,
everyone cheered, Marino recalled.
Tat kind of please-touch-please-get-
involved attitude and whimsy dates
back to the Norths founding.
Its roots actually date back to the 19th
century, when a group known as the Linnaen
Society amassed a collection of natural
specimens. It was eventually entrusted to
Franklin & Marshall College. In 1953, funds
The north celebrates six decades

from the estate of banker Hugh North enabled
the building of the present museum.
Among the items moved to the new structure
was a large collection of stufed birds (the
collection today numbers more than 1,600) that
had been housed in F&Ms old Stahr Hall. A
volunteer bird walk was organized. Everyone
was asked to pick up a bird and carry it over to
the new museum, Marino said. An exhibit at
the North today celebrates the occasion.
Te North does have its serious side, but in
a good way. It has the honor of accreditation
from the American Association of Museums,
a rare honor which is bestowed on about fve
percent of American Museums, Marino said
(Lancaster Countys Ephrata Cloister shares in the
honor, according to the associations Web site).
Tis is our fourth re-accreditation, Marino
said proudly. And its not an automatic renewal
process.
Tey study you at the stage at which you are,
she said, meaning museums have to keep up
with evolving standards. Teres no coasting,
noted Marino.
But lets get back to what keep the North a
place of smiles as well as science.
We are going to have an exhibit in the
spring and here, Marino pauses for comic
efect called Did Dinosaurs Poop?
It is being held in cooperation with the
Museum of the Earth in Ithaca, NY, and, yes,
the event title frames a legitimate question, as
the exhibit centers on the formation of fossils,
as well as dino diet habits.
And an exhibit centering on diamonds, to
be held in conjunction with Science North of
Greater Sudbury, Ontario, Canada, is schedule
to open in June. Tats appropriate, as 60
years marks the diamond jubilee for the North
Museum.
All year long, Marino said of 2013, well be
talking about dinosaurs and diamonds.

History & Science, 400 College Ave., at

THE GOOD LIFE Holiday 2012
I
n this world, there
are good angels
or bad angels.
Tats the concept
behind the holiday art
exhibit at Jonal Gallery
and Alverta Arts Shop at
653 Locust Street, Columbia. With
several local and regional artists
displaying their work in pen and
ink, watercolors, oils, graphic
arts and mixed media, Angels
BrightAngels Dark looks at
angels from both sides.
Bad isnt always bad and
good isnt always good, said
Dale Weibley, who co-owns Jonal
Gallery with John Novak.
As Weibley explains, in every
culture there are angels. Some
are called angels and others have
diferent names. Some angels
are good, guiding people toward
goodness and protecting them
from harm. Others are bad angels,
who tempt people and wreak
havoc on their lives.
Its not all that diferent than
the famous line from Te Wizard
of Oz, when Dorothy is asked,
Are you a good witch or a bad
witch? All witches are not bad,
she is told. Just as all angels are
not good.
We are very excited about
this exhibit, which explores the
premise of angels as good and as
bad, and sometimes both at once,
added Weibley.
Jonal Gallery was started
in 2005 in the north end of
Columbia, setting in motion
a wave of galleries, boutiques
and unique shops in downtown
Columbia. A native of Columbia,
Weibley wanted to be a part of
a new movement to transform
Columbia into an arts and antiques
community.
With is riverside setting, it had
all the potential to be Central
Pennsylvanias version of a little
New Hope, with streets lined with
unusual shops and a vibrant arts
community. With the inception
of Fourth Fridays, the galleries,
shops and restaurants of Columbia
have given the river town a new
lease on life.
As Weibley explains, Columbia
was long known as a blue collar
town, with hardworking townsfolk
and a down-to-earth history. Who
would have ever imagined galleries
flled with paintings and drawing,
fower shops, charming cafs and
antiques shops with treasures
from the past all in downtown
Columbia.
We are giving Columbia a
whole new lease on life, and its
very exciting for the town where
I grew up, left and then returned
to, said Weibley.
At Jonal Gallery, monthly
exhibits put the spotlight on artists
from Columbia, York, Lancaster,
Baltimore, Philadelphia, Reading
and beyond. Usually the month-
long exhibits feature one artist at
a time. Other months, there are
group exhibits built on a theme,
such as the Angels Bright
Angels Dark exhibit.
At Alverta Arts Shop, regulars
who include Weibley with his pen
and ink, watercolors and acrylics,
Novak with his graphic arts and
designs, and a variety of artists
and jewelry designers, have work
on display, along with Shakespeare
scarves in innovative designs
using recycled green fabrics.
Te transition of Jonal Galley
as a exhibition area for Weibleys
art came full circle as the gallery
began to ofer a forum for other
artists some new emerging
artists who had a whole new
opportunity to display their work
in a unique venue. Among them
have been digital artist Scott
Gore, graphic artist Richard Hof
and painter and graphic artist
Margaret Dowell.
As an artist who has emphasized
the art of pen and ink, charcoal
and graphite, Weibley is drawn to
other artists who have mastered
the most essential art of all
drawing. Several of the exhibits at
the gallery pay tribute to the form
of art that is the foundation of all
others.
Some of my pieces are a
combination of stippling and
straight line drawing, said
Weibley, adding that colorization
of some pieces is achieved by
adding watercolors before and
after the stippled image is
completed.
Jonal Gallery also hosts two-
hour Night at the Gallery events,
with artists demonstrating and
speaking about their work in a
relaxed, comfortable workshop
setting. It is an opportunity to
learn and to be inspired.
With the ever-changing
exhibits at the gallery, Jonal
Gallery guarantees something
fresh and new each month, said
Weibley.

MAKES FOR SMART
HOLIDAY SHOPPING
The holiday season is among the most
stressful times of year. With long lists of
things to do, meals to prepare, family and
friends to entertain, and gifts to buy, many
people embark on the holiday season with
more fear than cheer. And with so many
people trying to spend less these days,
preparing for the holidays has become that
much more challenging. But by planning
in advance and establishing a holiday
shopping game plan, you can save money
and maintain your peace of mind.
Start at the bottom line. The best way to
avoid overspending during the holidays is
to establish a budget and then stick to
it. Before making any holiday purchases,
determine a holiday spending limit that
is acceptable to you and your spouse
or partner. The fgure should include
not only the cost of gifts, but expected
expenditures for holiday entertainment
and entertaining, decorations, travel,
and items such as clothing and home
improvements.
Make a list and check it twice. Plan your
purchases ahead of time to avoid impulse
buying. By having a gift in mind for each
person on your list, you will save time,
money and headaches.
Consider family gifts. If there are
a number of families on your gift list,
consider giving a single gift or gift
basket that everyone can enjoy.
A waffe iron or ice cream maker, for
example, is a gift that foodie families will
savor for years to come.
Give the gift of your time. Some of the
most cherished gifts have no price tag
attached. Homemade gift certifcates
for things like car washing, dishwashing,
babysitting, lawn mowing, and closet
cleaning are always wonderful and
welcome. As the giver, just make sure to
make good on your promise.

called the fery trial.

Auction
for Artists and Collectors
G
oing once, going twice, SOLD!
Art lovers will soon be coming together
for the 14th Auction for Artists and
Collectors, a major fundraiser for
the Demuth Museum, to be held on
Tursday, November 8th at the Elks
Club. Tis popular art auction is a community favorite,
as artists, collectors and the Demuth Museum all beneft.
Conceived more than 20 years ago by Demuth Board
Members Bruce Kellner and Eberhard Gromoll, the
auction was a way to connect Lancaster-based artists
directly with collectors, who traditionally purchased
locally, but had limited ability to resell the artwork. Tis
dilemma in Lancaster had changed little since the time of
Charles Demuth in the early twentieth century. Tus the
Demuth Art Auction was born, giving back 80% of the
hammer price to consignors.
Te evening starts out with fve easy pieces to get the
bidders warmed up no reserves on these works and if
the crowd isnt ready yet, someone could go home with
a steal! Te rest of the auction, about 70 original works
of art, consists of paintings, drawings, photography and
sculpture. Tis years auction will feature works by David
Brumbach, Luigi Rist, Florence Starr Taylor, Richard
Ressel, William Early, Eva Bender, Mark Workman and
many others.
Te Art Auction has a reputation for excitement as
well. Last year a bidding war took a Brumbach collage
piece to $14,000 and in 2005, the auction drew the
highest price ever paid for a Brumbach Star Barn,
$24,600. Over the past ten years, 22 Brumbachs have
sold for $5,000 or more. Works by the highly-collected
printmaker Luigi Rist consistently fetch $2,000 $4,000.
Works by nationally-recognized artists are ofered as well,
such as Alexander Calder, Jef Koons, and Andrew Wyeth.
Various forms of fne art are represented including
paintings, watercolors, ceramic pieces, sculpture and
photography. Whether its foral watercolors by Eva
Bender, charming illustrations by Barry Root and
Kimberly Root, Lancaster scenes by Florence Starr Taylor
or Constantine Kermes, this auction has it all! And
buying at the Art Auction is also a great way to support
the Demuth Museum, as funds raised will beneft
the museums exhibitions and educational programs
throughout the year.

Tips
for finding
balance and
enjoying
lifes simple
pleasures
1
Ever feel like you need a
vacation but dont have
the time or the budget
to pull it off? Opt for
a vacation activity at
home instead. Head out to a nearby
beach or park and pack a picnic to
enjoy with the friends and family.
Then schedule a night of fun at home
playing a new game or enjoying a
new activity.
2
Allow yourself to
indulge with moments
of moderation. Always
abstaining from your
favorite treats might
lead you to binge after an especially
stressful day. Allow yourself a daily
indulgence of a favorite snack.
3
Schedule small bits of
me time each day, even
if its just 15 minutes
to read in a quiet part
of your home. Talk
with friends, roommates or family
about the importance of having
this time to yourself and theyll be
more than understanding when they
see the restorative effects that a
little downtime can have on your
demeanor.
4
Busy people across the
country struggle to fnd
time to work out. By
fnding activities like kid-
friendly yoga or going for
a hike with friends, you can get your
workout in while spending quality
time together.
5
If youre craving a night
at a fancy restaurant,
but cant get away or
dont want to leave the
kids, create a restaurant
atmosphere at home for one special
meal. Dine together with the kids
and then once the kids are in bed, set
aside time to read or have a drink on
the porch with your spouse.
6
Be a better friend.
Leave an uplifting voice
message, stop by with
a latte, throw a simple
get-together. It will mean
the world to your friends, and make a
more balanced you!
STOP AND ENJOY THE LITTLE THINGS IN LIFE!
By taking some time to enjoy the things you love, and fnd ways to incorporate them into your everyday life,
you can help reduce stress, allowing you to be happier.

THE GOOD LIFE Holiday 2012
Te holidays are packed with traditions
whether its taking a shopping trip to New
York, hosting a special family gathering,
looking at holiday lights in neighborhoods or
public displays, or special decorations for the
home. Tchaikovskys ballet Te Nutcracker
with its fanciful tale of a young German girl
who dreams of a Nutcracker Prince and a ferce
battle against a Mouse King with seven heads
has become one of those holiday traditions for
many families.
Ballet Teater of Lancaster (BTL) celebrates
the 20th anniversary of its production of
Te Nutcracker this year. Cheryl Murr, BTL
president and chair of the production, says
that the production has also been held in
the same location, the Lancaster Mennonite
High School auditorium, for 20 years as well.
Its also had the same artistic director, Viktor
Yeliohin, since 1993.
Tis production continues the ballet
companys tradition of featuring the Donetsk
Ballet Company from Ukraine, along with
performers from Lancaster. Te Donetsk
Ballet Co. is a professional ballet company of
24 Ukrainian dancers, and Ballet Teater has
96 local dancers performing with the Donetsk.
Murr says that the local dancers range in age
from fve years old to 18 years old and many
have been performing in BTLs production of
Te Nutcracker for a number of years.
Dancers in this production attend the
ballet schools throughout the area and often
dont see one another until auditions and
rehearsals for Te Nutcracker. But they form
close bonds with one another during the
production, so it is a close group. Our local
dancers not only get to know some of the other
dancers in the county, but they also can learn
something from the professional dancers. We
want to have a wonderful performance but
also provide a great experience for the young
dancers, she explains.
Tey also look forward to working with the
professional dancers in the Donetsk Company,
who come into town the week before the
performance. Teyre housed locally by host
families, which include some of the families of
local dancers.
Murr says that the connection with the
Donetsk company is through Yeliohin, a
former Donetsk star who emigrated to the
US in 1991 and currently operates the Viktor
Yeliohin Dance Studio in Lancaster.
We do the traditional, classical ballet
performance of Te Nutcracker. Its something
that people enjoy seeing again and again,
Murr says.
Performances will be held
Friday, November 30, Saturday, December 1,
and Sunday, December 2.
A special school and public show will be held
Friday at 9:45 a.m. (special rates apply).
Regular performances will be held
Saturday at 1 and 6 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m.

e holidays are the most festive time of the year, and no
holiday season is complete without a party or two with
family and friends. Be it to celebrate a religious holiday
or to ring in the New Year, a holiday party is an essential
element to the holiday season.
While its always great to be a guest, hosting a holiday
party is a great way to show friends and family how much
they mean to you. This holiday season, consider the
following tips to ensure your holiday party is as memorable
as the season is merry.
Make it a themed party. e holiday season is lled with
festivities, from o ce parties to neighborhood gatherings
to gatherings with family. For more casual aairs, set
your party apart with a theme. For example, a Christmas
sweater party, where each guest wears a Christmas sweater,
can be a fun way to excite guests and inspire a few laughs.
Give a prize to the guest with the most ornate sweater. If
sweaters arent your thing, then encourage guests to dress
up like some favorite holiday characters, including Santa
Claus, Frosty the Snowman or even Rudolph.
Dont forget the holiday fare. Just like parties are a
staple of the holiday season, so, too, are certain foods and
types of music. Few people indulge in some eggnog outside
of the holiday season, so make sure theres plenty of
eggnog on hand. And dont forget the gingerbread cookies,
either. As people enjoy holiday goodies, make sure they do
so with holiday music playing in the background. Choose
songs that guests know and to which they can sing along.
Such sing-alongs might become especially memorable once
guests have a glass or two of eggnog in them.

giveaway that rewards guests. Host a holiday-themed
round of Trivial Pursuit or a holiday movie trivia game
that encourages guests to compete for prizes. Prizes can
be small and inexpensive, but guests will be sure to enjoy
some friendly competition for holiday-themed prizes.
Dont be afraid to take it outside. For those who live in
regions with signicant snowfall, consider inviting guests
outside to have some fun in the snow. While fun in the snow
is often left to the kids, dont assume adults wont enjoy
building some snowmen or a good old fashioned snowball
ght in the backyard. If outdoor fun is going to be on the
docket, be sure to remind guests to dress appropriately.
And make sure theres plenty of hot chocolate ready once
everyone goes back inside to warm up.
Prearrange transportation home for guests. A successful
holiday party is one that is safe, so be sure to prearrange
travel home for guests just in case anyone overindulges
in holiday cheer. When sending out invitations, seek
volunteers to be designated drivers, and avoid drinking
alcohol yourself. For larger parties, call a local taxi service
and arrange for a couple of cabs to be on call when the
party ends.

Deer are beautiful, graceful animals,
we cannot deny it. But when it comes to
where deer decide to dine, most of us just
dont want them outside our windows
foraging through our foliage. Teir beauty
and grace comes with the destruction
even devastation of our well-cared-for
and often expensive landscaped yards and
gardens. If you think your yard is out of the
woods since summers over, think again.
Deer damage can actually get worse in
fall and winter.
We know deer can do extensive damage to
landscapes in any season, but during winter, when
their food sources are scarce, they can be more
aggressive and bold, wreaking havoc on trees and
shrubs they never touched in warmer weather.
A single deer eats about 12 pounds of foliage a
day, and in winter theyll turn to any source of
vegetation to satisfy their appetites.
Bucks can travel 100 miles or more, but does
dont migrate.They usually stay within the same
three to four square miles for their entire lives.
That means once a doe fnds an easy food source
in your yard, shell be back again and again, season
to season, and you can bet shell bring her friends
and babies with her.
During winter months, a deers diet changes.
Instead of the grass and leaves they favor during
summer, deer turn to woody plants in winter. That
means your evergreens are at risk. Although a
deers mouth is usually about 28 inches above the
ground, when one stands on its back legs, it can
reach as high as 6 feet off the ground. That reach
allows them to create a broad swath of damage to
even tall trees.

Even before the weather turns really cold, deer can
cause damage to trees. Fall is mating season. Bucks
become aggressive and the new antlers theyve grown
over the summer itch. They scratch by rubbing their
antlers on tree trunks even those they dont like to
eat and can cause serious damage to trees.
The best approach to preventing deer damage is a
proactive one. Dont wait until you see deer or deer
damage in your yard to deal with the problem. So what
do you do to keep the deer out? There are loads of
home remedies that have been tried with varying
results: human hair, soap, pepper spray, even coyote
urine. These remedies might work sporadically, but
they are not reliable deterrents for deer.
Then theres fencing. Properly built and maintained
fencing can be an effective method for preventing
deer damage. But, deer can jump up to and clear an
8-foot fence on level ground, and they can easily push
and remove plastic netting. Installing a 6- to 8-foot
fence can be an effective solution to some extent, but
fencing is costly and can be quite unsightly.
One of the most effective and easiest methods to
deter deer is repellents. Repellents rely on deers
strong sense of smell. Many are available in the
marketplace, but few have credible third-party testing
for effcacy, and some rely on chemicals that are
unfriendly to the environment, and can be injurious to
certain trees, shrubs, and especially to new growth.
Bobbex Deer Repellent is a topical, natural, proven
effective foliar spray used to deter and prevent deer,
moose and elk from browsing and causing other
damage to ornamental plantings, shrubs and forest
trees. Bobbexs blend of ingredients deters deer with
taste and smell, and is actually benefcial to plant
development. The active ingredients are a series of
proteins, making the product extremely safe for use on
the most sensitive plantings. Tested by the Connecticut
Department of Forestry against 10 known top
competitors (Liquid Fence, Deer Off and Plantskydd
among them), Bobbex was found to be 93 percent
effective, second only to a physical barrier for effcacy.
Good in any climate, the repellent will not wash off
after heavy rain. For more info on Bobbex visit www.
bobbex.com.
Repellents should be used in fall and winter
months even though plants are no longer at their
peak. If applications of repellents are interrupted,
deer may lose their conditioning to avoid previously
treated plants. Regular spraying trains deer to seek
nourishment elsewhere.
This winter, protect your plants and shrubs
proactively and the only guests in your yard will be the
ones you invited.

Visitors are greeted with a walk down
memory lane with a glimpse into a 1950s
living room complete with its own train set
under the tree, a 50s style black & white TV,
stockings hung by the chimney with care,
and the must have gifts of the time including
a cowboy outft and a Red Ryder BB gun.
Tis sets the stage for the self-guided tour
of the life-size exhibits in the museums 15
main galleries.
Te galleries ofer a view into Christmases
of the past with a glimpse into the War Years
and a recreation of Woolworths 5 & 10 from
the 1950s. Te latter exhibit has a special
connection to the area since Lancaster was the
site of the frst F.W. Woolworth store.
Teres also a whimsical, animated
storybook village Christmas (the Tudor Towne
village) as well as a visit to the North Pole with
an animated Santas workshop and reindeer
barn during the holidays Santa visits the
workshop and is available for visits with
children. Jim says, Santa really takes his time
with the kidsits like the visits with Santa
that I remember from my own childhood.
Displays also depict Christmas traditions
around the world, images of Santa and a
Pennsylvania Christmas. One display focuses
on the New York Suns 1847 editorial Yes,
Virginia, there is a Santa Claus, while another
is a fanciful depiction of the view of the train
layout under the tree. Tree branches decked
with lights and ornaments (including three
pickle ornaments la the German tradition)
suspended from the ceiling create the feeling
of being under the tree and looking at an
elaborate three-tier electric train layout.
Visitors may also retrace Mary and Josephs
trek from Nazareth to Bethlehem, which ends
in a life-sized Nativity. Te area immediately
after the Nativity features the Art of the
Nativity, a collection of crches from around
the world spanning 200 years.
Exploring the National Christmas Center,
visitors will certainly have the Christmas spirit.
Te National Christmas Center is located at
3427 Lincoln Highway East, Paradise. Te
center also has a seasonal display at Elizabeth

Te No Vacancy sign on the lamp post
at my childhood home in Whitehall,
Pennsylvania amused the neighbors and
confounded travelers who came searching
for lodging. It was my fathers wry way
of conveying that with nine children the
inn was full.
Dad was a mail carrier and in
bygone days, delivering holiday
mail meant a 15-hour workday.
On Christmas Eve, weary to the
bone after fnishing his route, he
would set out to procure the tree.
By then the pickings were slim and
in his condition he wasnt choosy.
He was having visions not of
sugarplums, but of toys to assemble
and lights to put up. He conducted
the lighting ritual around eleven
oclock, claiming that to do it earlier
would be rushing the season.
One year my mother actually
tied three skimpy trees together
to approximate one. Te moment
the job was in her hands, the
enchantment began. Shimmering
glass balls, plump, glowing lights
and silver tinsel transformed it into
a masterpiece.
A lot of family history was
made on the Victorian staircase
and this was never truer than on
December 25th. We nine would
wait breathlessly at the top until
our parents gave the signal and then
descend like a herd of antelopes,
clamoring to fnd our names among
the many presents. Tere were dolls to be embraced...books and
board games to fll our hours for years to come...pajamas and
slippers to be worn for the frst time on Christmas night...wagons,
sleds and bicycles to expand our view of the world.
Surrounding the tree at the base of the stairs was a plywood
platform that my older brother, Ed, had painstakingly transformed
into a Christmas putz, a bustling railroad tableau with multi-level
tunnels, snow on the pines, neatly manicured lawns and streetlights
that glowed. Te miniature town had a luncheonette with stools at
the soda fountain, gas stations with customers flling up, townies
sitting on porches and strolling the streets. Did every child blur their
eyes like I did, to see the village come to life, with tiny shimmering
Christmas trees to match our own? To this day whenever I pass a
vintage Victorian home with a tree in the window, I go back to that
place where the trains and the tenor of life ran smoothly.
Along with the visual tugs, the joy of Christmases past comes
sweeping back in the scents of the season pungent pine needles,
roast turkey, pumpkin and mince pies, paper thin sand tarts and
chocolate chip cookies squirreled away in big tins. Most enduring
to me is the fragrance of fabric that Mom would transform into
tafeta and velvet holiday dresses. One whif and I am back at St.
Elizabeth Church singing Adeste Fideles.
We never knew there were lean times because we were taught by
example that we had something many didnt have. We had enough.
One by one, as we left the nest and became parents, we began to
comprehend the sacrifce and sleep deprivation that was all part
of the job for them. After he retired, Dad was able to parlay his
avocation of flmmaking into a satisfying career of shooting sporting
events. Moms seamstress skills
were in demand for dressmaking,
upholstery and draperies. Tree
of my sisters now carry on the
tradition in their needlework and
handcrafts.
Among the two generations
of children who trotted the old
staircase are four teachers, two
engineers, a nurse, four published
writers and photographers, two
fnancial specialists, a human
resources director, two retail
managers, a manicurist, a deli
& catering manager, a building
contractor, an actress, a TV
production manager, a web designer,
and an Air Force Pararescue Jumper.
And the young lad who made the
model trains run smoothly went
on to be a national corporate sales
manager in the tech industry, and
also a Master Modeler of trains for
both the Atlas and Athearn Model
Railroad companies.
When I reminisce with my
siblings Edward, Patrick,
Kathleen, Frances, Margaret,
Grace Ann, Josephine and Eileen
we fnd ourselves in constant
awe of the true gift that each of
us received. Surrounded by the love and indomitable spirit of
Edward and Catherine Ryan, we opened the gift of childhood. It is
a timeless endowment that lets us go home no matter where we
are by drawing on the lasting memories of being in a snug place
that was full of shining light. In the hardest of times their gift sees
us through. It is an inheritance that we strive to pass on to our
children and grandchildren.
As you create Christmas for your family, I hope that you can take
the time to perceive the lifelong fortune you give your loved ones at
holidays and everyday. Savor the laughter and intimate exchanges.
Blur your eyes and see the perfection. And in those times when
you cannot take a hurt away or you fear for a childs well being,
remember that you have given them this remarkable advantage:
along with every hymn sung, every stocking hung,
every toy assembled and every cookie baked,
you have proven beyond a doubt
that life is beautiful and every new day holds a promise.

Wellsboro is not only the Tioga County seat, but its also known
for its wide boulevards and small-town Victorian charm. Tis jewel
of a town is near the Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania (a.k.a Pine Creek
Gorge), several state parks and the Tioga Central Railroadall of
which are fun destinations. Wellsboro with its Main Street thats lit
24-7 by original Victorian-style gas lights is worth a visit at any time
of the year, but the annual Dickens of a Christmas event promises to
rekindle the Christmas spirit.
Our town comes together and
puts on the event. It was frst
started to celebrate the spirit of the
holiday. Te frst year there were
12 food and craft vendors and the
attendance was mostly localnow
we have more than 175 vendors
and 20,000 people milling about
in the street, says Julie VanNess,
Wellsboro Chamber of Commerce
executive director.
She encourages visitors to Dickens
of a Christmas to get there as early
as possible to not only enjoy the best
selection from vendors, but to also
take in as many of the activities as
possible. People really get into the
spirit, and many of our community
organizations host special activities in conjunction with Dickens.
Weve also had visitors come in costume and for the past two or three
years had a group of bagpipers show up, she says.
One of the local churches hosts a Santa Breakfast, while others
host luncheons, concerts, tours or special services throughout the
day. Wellsboros Mens and Womens Choruses perform in front of
the Arcadia Teatre, and visitors are welcome to sing-along adding to
the festive atmosphere. Several other local musical groups also ofer
strolling performances throughout the day, so the area becomes a
holiday-themed feast for the senses. Van Ness says that the event
is held rain or shine. It is a holiday event, and if the weathers cool
and theres a bit of snow on the ground it along with the Victorian gas
lights adds to the favor, she says.
Hamilton Gibson Productions will present A Christmas Carol at
the Arcadia Teatre several times during the day, and the Hamilton
Gibson Choirs will perform on Friday eveningtickets may be
purchased at the door. Several indoor craft shows complement
the festivities.
Dickens of a Christmas also features a candlelight Peace Walk at 5
p.m. that travels up Main Street from Packer Park to the Green for the
community Christmas tree lighting and carol sing at 5:30 p.m.
Parking will be available at several lots throughout the town, along
with a shuttle which will be operated continuously from the Wellsboro
High School parking lot and the Wellsboro Plaza lot on Route 6.
For a detailed schedule of events contact the Wellsboro Area
Chamber of Commerce, 114 Main Street, Wellsboro, PA 16901, phone
570-724-1926. Te schedule will also be available at local businesses,
motels and restaurants the day of the event.

This year is the 29th year for
this special community event,
which will be held beginning

THE GOOD LIFE Holiday 2012
Does late-night eating
cause weight gain?
T
he correlation between
late-night eating and
weight gain has been
studied and debated for
quite a while. Although
common sense may indicate there is a
connection, there is no statistical proof
to confrm the claim.
Many of the studies involving late-
night eating have been conducted on
lab mice or on people who are deemed
late sleepers, not necessarily on
people who routinely eat the biggest or
most caloric meals late in the day.
Those who are dieting are routinely
told to cut off meals after 7 or 8 p.m.
to improve metabolic rates and reduce
weight gain. Although it would seem to
be good advice, there is no defnitive
scientifc research that equates eating
at night to weight gain.
The speculation behind the eating
and weight gain connection has to do
with metabolism and human evolution.
Humans evolved from situations where
they ate and foraged between sunrise
and sunset. There were no video games
to play at night, no TV shows, and
certainly no refrigerators to raid for late-
night snacks. The body simply adapted
to getting the bulk of its caloric intake in
between daylight hours. Furthermore,
people tended to be their most active
during the day, when calories consumed
could be burned off through exercise
or daily activity. At night people tended
to simply be lying around
relaxing or sleeping. The
calories cant be burned
off.
Others debate that this
is a myth, that calories
consumed are simply
calories. They do not weigh more if they
are eaten at night or during the day.
Furthermore, the bodys metabolism
never stops working, organs are
functioning and energy is being used
even as one sleeps. Opponents to the
late night eating equals weight gain
theory state that its not what is eaten
at a specifc time that matters, but its
how many calories are consumed over
a week or month. As anyone who has
tried to diet knows, one day of dietary
changes will do little, if anything, to
infuence a persons weight. Weight loss
is a process instead of a quick fx.
Limiting caloric intake no matter
what time it occurs will help a person
lose weight. Thats because it limits the
number of calories a person will need
to burn off. Routinely eating several
small meals a day can stave off hunger
pangs and reduce the propensity for
overeating or eating out of boredom
at night. Foods consumed at night,
including comfort foods, tend to be
high in calories and fat anyway. Some
people do fnd that eating a light snack
about an hour before bed, such as a
few crackers with cheese, can induce
sleep and keep the body satiated until
morning.
Theres no strong evidence that
eating late at night plays a role in weight
gain. Its rather the number of calories
and types of foods eaten as part of a
normal diet.
Late-night
eating tends
to include
foods that
are high in
calories
and fat.

Chocolate
hocolate has been made
in Lititz since the early
1900s, but the history of
Wilbur Chocolate
actually dates back to
1884 in Philadelphia.
In fact, Wilbur Chocolate
celebrated its 125th anniversary in
2009. Its been a sweet ride for the
company that gives Lititz its own
distinctive aroma.
You notice it more on warm, sultry days,
when the delicious scent of chocolate flls
the town. Next thing you know, you are
at the Wilbur Chocolate factory on North
Broad Street, buying a box of Wilbur Buds,
a bag of chocolate-covered raisins and hand-
dipped marshmallows.
Te museum and store at Wilbur
Chocolate was inspired by Penny Buzzard,
wife of then-president John Buzzard, back
in 1972. Te free Candy Americana Museum
tells the history of the company and how
chocolate is made, with exhibits that include
antique chocolate molds, tins and boxes, as
well as hand-painted European and Oriental
antique porcelain chocolate pots by fne
china companies like Limoges and Lenox.
At the museum store, customers can
purchase a huge array of Wilbur Chocolate
products, which includes Wilbur Buds
and hand-dipped specialty chocolates.
Te Christmas, Easter and Halloween
seasons are especially busy at the store and
museum. Since Wilbur Chocolate goes into
products made by some of the most notable
chocolate and confectionery companies,
it is a great chance to buy products that
range from chocolate-covered peanut butter
meltaways, tofee, cherries, peppermint
patties, almonds, peanuts, creams, caramels,
chocolate coins and much more.
Of course, the star at Wilbur Chocolate
is the delicious Wilbur Bud, with its drop
shape and bearing the W-I-L-B-U-R name.
When you bite into a Wilbur Bud, you are biting into
a rich, chocolatey piece of Lititz history.
Holiday 2012 THE GOOD LIFE

Available in dark semi-sweet chocolate
and milk chocolate, Wilbur Buds are
often heralded as the best chocolate
ever by devoted chocoholics. It has a
smooth richness that is unique among
American-made chocolate.
Wilbur has also had many famous
visitors, such as Muhammad Ali, who
came to the chocolate company to
promote his own candy bar back in
the 1970s, and Barack Obama, who
made Wilbur a stop on his presidential
campaign trail in 2008. Even Queen
Elizabeth I the frst that is! made
a stop on her way to the Pennsylvania
Renaissance Faire.
Te history of Wilbur Chocolate
dates back to 1884 when Henry Oscar
(H.O.) Wilbur split his Philadelphia
confectionery business into a hard
candy division and a chocolate
manufacturing division. Te chocolate
business was eventually relocated to
Lititz around 1900, due to the railroad
and resources for dairy products in
Lancaster County.
Meanwhile, also in 1900, the Kendig
Chocolate Company, originally founded
as a caramel factory, opened in Lititz.
Two years later, Kendig was bought by
new owners and changed the name to
Ideal Cocoa and Chocolate Company,
and a new plant was constructed at 48
N. Broad St. in Lititz, and later merged
with Wilbur.
In February 1928, the company name
changed to Wilbur-Suchard Chocolate
Company, Inc. With three factories in
Newark, Lititz and Philadelphia, the
company produced a complete line of
chocolate items. Te company was sold
four times in 12 years. In 1992 it was
purchased by Cargill, Incorporated,
one of the largest private companies
in the United States with ofces and
facilities worldwide.
After all the years satisfying chocolate
cravings everywhere, Wilbur is still
is noted for its fne quality chocolate
coatings, producing more than 150
million pounds of chocolate products
and other various food ingredients each
year. Te products are manufactured
and shipped to confectioners, dairies,
bakers and candy makers across North
America.

ften called
ginger root,
its not really
a root. It is a
rhizome with a
twisted root-like
appearance that can
range from a pale
buff color to a deep
bronzed hue. And while
the appearance of ginger wont win
any beauty contests, it is a hands-down
favorite for its invigorating favor.
A native of China and India, ginger
gets its name from the Sanskrit word
stringavera, which translates into
body like a horn. It does indeed look
very much like the antlers of some
type of deer.
More than just a spice, ginger has
medicinal qualities that date back
to ancient China. It is mentioned by
Confucius and the Koran. In Europe,
ginger was often served at the table like
salt and pepper. It was used to settle
an upset stomach and even to fght
the plague. Bartenders at English pubs
sprinkled ground ginger into beer, giving
rise to ginger ale, which is still a time-
honored beverage for cocktail mixing and
soothing childhood tummy troubles.
There are a number of ways to enjoy
ginger. Fresh whole ginger root provides
the most authentic ginger favor. You
can buy tan-colored fresh ginger in the
produce section of the grocery store,
or at farmers markets. You can also get
whole dried ginger root, either peeled or
unpeeled, whole or sliced.
Preserved or stem ginger is made
from fresh young roots, peeled, sliced
and cooked in a heavy sugar syrup.
Crystallized ginger is cooked in sugar
syrup, air dried and rolled in sugar.
Pickled ginger is a pale peach color,
sliced paper-thin and pickled in a vinegar
solution. Its a standard accompaniment
to sushi.
Ginger is a key ingredient in Asian
cooking, including satays, stir fries and
soups. It is used in pickles, chutneys and
curry pastes. It is delicious in salads.
Ginger is used in cakes, biscuits and
desserts like gingerbread and ginger
snaps. Youll fnd ginger in puddings,
jams, preserves and beverages such as
ginger ale, ginger beer and tea.
Then there are the medicinal qualities
of ginger. Ginger is known as a digestive
aid, helping to relieve indigestion,
gas pains, diarrhea and stomach
cramping. Ginger root has been used
to treat nausea related to both motion
sickness and morning sickness. Its anti-
infammatory properties can help to
relieve pain and reduce infammation
associated with arthritis and rheumatism.
Ginger root has been used to treat
asthma, bronchitis and other respiratory
problems by loosening and expelling
phlegm from the lungs. The Kama Sutra
mentions ginger as an aphrodisiac. And in
some cultures, it has been used to ward
off evil spirits.
Of course, ginger is mostly known as
a favorite spice that adds a unique favor
to foods from many different parts of
the world, from faraway China to Moms
cookie jar flled with gingersnap cookies.

T
he Greenfeld Restaurant
has been undergoing a
metamorphosis, but its
not always easy to tell
from the outside.
Te 18th century stone
farmhouse still stands,
a harbinger to the past with its brick cellar,
elegant colonial blues and greens, warm
candlelight and cozy freplaces. Te antique
latch-lock wooden door and seasonal wreath
still welcomes guests to the Lancaster County
tradition.
Take a look at the sign, and there is
something new at the Greenfeld Restaurant.
Its not Olde anymore and its not an Inn.
Tose were changes that were quite
timely, says Kristen Hottenstein, daughter of
owners Ray and Sue Hottenstein.
As the Hottenstein business for more than
20 years, the Greenfeld Restaurant dropped
its olde and inn monikers for two very good
reasons. With contemporary dining choices
and open-air patio dining in the warm weather
months, it was about time that the restaurant
shed its old-fashioned name.
And it was about time visitors realized its
not an inn, laughed Hottenstein. Too many
people were under the impression that it was
a bed and breakfast inn, you know, with beds.
Tey would ask if we had rooms available.
Eliminating the inn part of the Greenfeld
Restaurant and changing it to restaurant
has made a welcome diference at Greenfeld.
Finally, people understand that it is a
restaurant, and one with an up-to-the-minute
menu.
Chef Andrew Kuster who hails from
Franklin & Marshall and the Lancaster
Marriott creates unique dishes that accent
fresh, local ingredients. A few of the dinner
presentations include Frenched Pork Chops
with cheddar hominy, granny smith apples,
caramelized onions and sauteed spinach, and
Miso-Marinated Chatham Cod in lemon grass
broth with shrimp dumplings, napa cabbage,
shiitake mushrooms and baby carrots.
Organic European Chicken is served with a
succotash of garbanzo beans, sweet peas and
diced potatoes with crispy pancetta, while
the Broiled Sea Scallops are accompanied by
asparagus risotto and a salad of radicchio,
pickled watermelon rind and orange segments.
Ten, of course, there are still the popular All-
Lump Crab Cakes, a Greenfeld tradition that
no one dares to tamper with, house-made daily
and broiled to perfection.
Te Greenfeld Restaurant also has its hearty
meat-eaters Prime Cuts menu that ofers 28-
day aged USDA prime Nebraska corn-fed beef,
including strip, barrel cut, cowboy ribeye and
steak and Caesar. Bar specials include Angus
beef sliders, Elk burgers and lobster mac n
cheese.
Ten there are the Jazz Nights and Wine
Dinners, which Hottenstein thinks have given
the Greenfeld a new presence in Lancaster
County. Wednesday evening Jazz Nights
feature some of the areas leading ladies of jazz,
such as Trixi in the Matrix, CoCo and Company,
Erin Cruise, Amy Banks, Robin Work, Sonia
V, Cathy Chemi, and Rose Hudson. Te Wine
Dinners are full 5- or 6-course dinners with
perfect pairings of food and wine, featuring a
wine expert discussing the wine selections and
how they complement each dish. Tere are also
special wine events, including cellar sales from
the wine cellars extensive collection.
We try to keep things lively here at the
Greenfeld, says Hottenstein, adding that
daily lunch and tavern specials entice people
to stop by, along with the Sunday brunch that
features Belgian wafes with fresh berries, Eggs
Benedict with Hollandaise, Croque Madame
grilled ham and Swiss with Dijon mustard
and mornay sauce, and tomato tortilla burrito
with mushrooms, peppers and Monterey Jack
cheese.
Once the centerpiece of the Cymer family
farm and now Greenfeld Executive Park
the stone farmhouse has been transformed
into a vibrant dining spot with brunch,
lunch, dinner and tavern fare. Tey also run
Greenfeld Catering, handling everything
from weddings and engagement parties, to
management meetings and retirement dinners.
