Although the 12 Days of Christmas traditionally starts a little
earlier, starting your 12 Days of Safety now will carry you through
the Holidays to the New Year. Dorchester Fire Rescue wishes you
and your family a Happy, Safe Holidays!
DAY 1: Water fresh trees daily
It's time to trim that Christmas tree, and if you’re using a real tree, buy
a fresh tree and keep the base of the trunk in water at all times. Keep
your tree away from any ignition source such as the fireplace, heaters
or candles.
DAY 2: Check all sets of lights before decorating and periodically
while in use.
Before you put those lights on the tree or around the front window,
check the cords closely. Discard any sets that are frayed or damaged.
Don’t overload plugs or extension cords.
DAY 3: Make sure you have working smoke alarms
With family and friends spending extra time at your home over the holidays, it’s a
great time to check your smoke alarms. Replace smoke alarms if they are over 10
years old. Remember that you need working smoke alarms on every storey of your
home and outside all sleeping areas. Test your alarms to make sure they will alert you
and your family if a fire occurs, giving you the precious seconds you need to safely
escape.
DAY 4: Make sure you have working carbon monoxide alarms
Carbon monoxide is an invisible, odourless gas that can quickly kill you. Replace any
carbon monoxide alarms over seven years old. Installing carbon monoxide alarms in
your home will alert you to the presence of this deadly gas.
DAY 5: Make sure everyone knows how to get out safely if a fire
occurs
Develop and practise a home fire escape plan with all members of the household and
make sure someone helps young children, older adults or anyone else that may need
assistance to evacuate. Once outside, stay outside and call 911 from a cell phone or
neighbours house.
DAY 6: Use extension cords wisely
People often use extension cords for that extra set of lights or the dancing Santa in the
corner. Extension cords should be used only as a temporary connection. Make sure
cords never go under rugs as this can cause damage to the cord and cause a fire.
DAY 7: Give space heaters space
If you are using space heaters to help take the chill off, remember to keep them at
least one metre (3 feet) away from anything that can burn such as curtains,
upholstery, or holiday decorations.
DAY 8: When you go out, blow out!
Candles can set the perfect mood for a holiday celebration, but
remember to always blow out candles before leaving the room or
going to bed. Keep lit candles safely away from children and pets
and anything that can burn, such as curtains, upholstery, or
holiday decorations. Be candle safe!
Page 2
DAY 9: Keep matches and lighters out of the sight and reach of
children
People often keep matches and lighters handy to light holiday candles. But matches
and lighters can be deadly in the hands of children. If you smoke, have only one lighter
or book of matches and keep them with you at all times.
DAY 10: Watch what you heat!
The holiday season is one of the busiest times of the year, which means it's
easy to get distracted from what we are doing. Cooking fires most commonly
occur when cooking is left unattended. Always stay in the kitchen when
cooking; especially if using oil or high temperatures. If a pot catches fire,
carefully slide a tight-fitting lid over the pot to smother the flames and then
turn off the heat.
DAY 11: Encourage smokers to smoke outside
Careless smoking is the leading cause of fatal fires. If you do allow smoking indoors
use large, deep ashtrays that can't be knocked over and make sure cigarette butts are
properly extinguished.
DAY 12: There’s more to responsible drinking than taking a cab home
With all the festive cheer this time of year, keep a close eye on anyone attempting to
cook or smoke while under the influence of alcohol. Alcohol is all too often a common
factor in many fatal fires.
Be Smart, Be Safe!
BLOOD DONOR CLINIC
Tis the season of giving and what better gift to give than the gift of
life-saving blood.
There will be a blood donor clinic at the Tantramar Veterans
Memorial Civic Centre, 182 Main Street, Sackville, on Tuesday,
December 23, 2014 from 2-4 pm and 5:30-7:30 pm.

Europe, One Step at a Time
Many of you have heard about my hike of 6,000 kilometres across
Europe. I have now written a book about that experience. “Europe
One Step at a Time” is available from Tidewater Books in Sackville,
and you might want to include it in your wish list to Santa! After all
my walking and writing, I can now go back to a quiet retirement in
Dorchester Cape.
Thank you for your interest in my book.

DORCHESTER PUBLIC LIBRARY
Books Worth Another Look
Krista Johansen
Talking Books and Audiobooks in the Library
Did you know that your library has many titles in alternative formats for
those with a print disability? Patrons unable to read regular or large print materials
may be registered as “Talking Books” patrons, which enables them to borrow from a
collection of works in other formats provided by CELA, the Centre for Equitable
Library Access, formerly the loan department of the CNIB. Every library in the
province now has a collection of books on DAISY CD for the use of Talking Books
patrons, thanks to CELA, as well as some magazines in both English and French. Here
in Dorchester we have one hundred titles in DAISY format, which, just like nearly all
the rest of our books, can be shared among libraries. These are the bright yellow
discs you may have noticed on our shelf. Soon we will also have a DAISY player, so
that those who wish to try out the machine before deciding whether to invest in one
of their own may do so. The DAISY discs will play on a regular CD player or
computer; however, the DAISY player contains many more features to make
navigating the book much easier. The DAISY collection and CELA electronic resources
are available only to those with a print disability who are registered Talking Books
patrons, since neither authors nor publishers are paid for material produced in this
way. However, we have many other audiobooks which anyone can take out, and the
regular audiobook collection is growing all the time.
Of course, Talking Books patrons can also access the regular audiobook
collection of books on CD and Playaways (MP3 players pre-loaded with a single title)
available in your local library or through holds from other branches, or downloadable
audiobooks available through our Electronic Library catalogue. We can also help those
unable to read print materials to obtain books directly from CELA.
If you or someone you know might benefit from our Talking Books service,
why not come in to the library and find out more?
PLEASE NOTE: the Dorchester Memorial Public Library will be closed for
Christmas Day and Boxing Day, December 25th and 26th, and for New Year’s
Day, January 1st.
Explore your past – imagine your future...@ your library. If you don’t have a library
card, come in and get one. Library membership is free. If you’re under 13, bring
your parent or guardian and identification.
Our phone number is 379-3032, email is [email protected] and our after-hours book
drop can be found next door behind the counter of the Dorchester RiteStop
Convenience store, during their regular hours.

KEILLOR HOUSE
We would like to alert all students interested in summer employment to register for
the SEED program that can be picked up at the Service New Brunswick office in
locations such as Sackville. The other option for registering for senior students
(college
or
University
level)
is
the
Young
Canada
Works
site
www.youngcanadaworks.ca. It is important to register so that we can hire.
Since most of us at Heritage no longer have students in the school system we may not
always know who in the area is available so it would be nice to have them contact us if
they are interested in working at the Keillor House or the St. James Textile museums
this summer. They can do so by E-mail ([email protected]) or calling 3796620, leave a message and we will return your call or E-mail.
Thank you, Alice Folkins
PLEASE NOTE: The above E-mail or phone number can also be used for information
or assistance for Heritage Week projects for our local school students.

ECO-CONTAINER CO.
Should you be looking for ways to save
money in unique and environmentally
conscious manner, it can be done by using
re-cycled plastic containers that are now
available in ample supply in the village of
Dorchester at 64 Woodlawn Road. There
are both Food Grade and Non-food
Grade class 2 plastic barrels and
containers of various sizes from 4 litres to 1000 litres, round or square and in colours
of white, blue, dark blue and black. A number of these plastic containers can be
modified and installed to meet your needs either for a business or private residence.
Some of the uses for these durable long lasting plastic Food Grade containers are
great for: rain collection for irrigation systems, fresh water transportation and storage,
reservoirs for plumbing systems at camps and cottage based on elevation and gravity
and wine making or other consumable goods and we have plastic food grade containers
from 2 gal. to 275 gal. in various formats. Non-food grade containers can be used
for waste collection and disposal, flooding docks, planters/patio pots, composters,
garbage cans, spraying systems, portable watering systems,
firefighting reservoirs, animals field feeders and water troughs
just to name a few ways of recycling. New barrels with lids are
very suitable for garbage cans.
A new shipment of recycled plastic 4' x
4" pallets (depending on model). These
pallets are long lasting, moist resistant,
very light and stack-able when not in use.
Other re-recyclable items available include plastic pallets, very
lightweight metal hay holders to field feed animals of various sizes and 55 gallon
barrels with removal lids and lock rings great for feed barrels and for secure storage
and shipping valuable items.
There is now available an energy free Water Collection and Irrigation system
which is very environmental friendly and great for conserving water. To view
such a system call 379-0678 or 379-2211 or email [email protected].
Plan your projects and get your order in for items you may need
It is our hope that our past customers and future ones will
have a great 2015 and they should take note of upcoming
environmental activities and events during the coming
months.

The 175th Anniversary For Sussex Lodge #4 1840-2015
The members of the Sussex Lodge #4 will be celebrating the 175th anniversary of the
establishment of the Fraternity Free and Accepted Masons in the Village of Dorchester in
1840.
Sussex Lodge #4 has a long, interesting history which was originally known as Sussex
Lodge # 705 by being given a warrant by the Duke of Sussex.
The local Masonic Lodge has been a benefit to many residents in the village and to the
community at large during the 17.5 decades it has existed.
Residents of the Tantramar region can take note of the
number of events and activities that will be held over the
next twelve months.
More to be included in the newsletter at a later date.
Congratulations to the Sussex Lodge #4

2015 DOG TAGS—DOG CONTROL—Village of Dorchester
The Village of Dorchester’s 2015 dog tags are available for purchase. Proof of
rabies vaccination should be presented. Rabid wild animals have been found
in both New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, so the rabies shots are very
important. Spayed and neutered dog tags are $10.00 each and unsprayed
and non-neutered dogs are $15.00 each. For more information contact the Village
Office at 379-3030.
The public is also reminded that dogs must be under the owner’s control
at all times. Dogs are wonderful pets and great companions; however,
when not under the owner’s control, they can sometimes create problems
and put other dogs and individuals in danger. Dogs depend on the owner
to ensure they are safe and away from danger. Please do your part to
protect your pet and others.
