WOODSTOCK — On Wednesday, Oct. 12, the Woodstock Volunteer Fire Association held its annual fire safety event at Woodstock Elementary School. Members of the Bungay Fire Brigade, the Muddy Brook Fire Department and Woodstock EMS were on hand to teach students in all grades the basics of fire safety, including smoke detec- tor inspection, home escape plans and the importance of having a family emergency meeting place. Students were also invited to explore fire trucks, fire equipment and an ambulance. “The smaller kids see for the first time what a fire truck looks like inside and out so they’re less scared,” said Fire Marshal Richard Baron. “It makes a big impact on the kids.” The 15-year program began at Woodstock Elementary School in 1996 and takes place in conjunction with Fire Safety Week.

Several years ago, a book titled “Men al knowledge may help explain why all-female investment Are From Mars, Women Are From clubs have achieved greater returns than all-male clubs, Venus” was quite popular. As the title according to a study by the National Association of suggests, the book argues that men and Investors Corp., which represents thousands of investment women are vastly different from each clubs across the country. other, particularly in their emotional • Men may be more optimistic about the financial mar- needs and in the way they communicate. kets.

Perhaps not surprisingly, men seem to be more willing to take risks with their invest- ments. This trait can be both positive and nega- tive. On the positive side, risk is associated with reward, so the more aggressive the investment, the greater the potential for growth. On the neg- ative side, taking too much risk pretty much speaks for itself. Ideally,all investors — men and women — should stick with investments that fit their individual risk tolerance. • Women are more likely to look at the “big picture.” Although both men and women investors want information, women seem to take a more “holistic” approach — that is, instead of focusing strictly on performance sta- tistics, they tend to delve deeper into their investments’ background, competitive environ- ment and other factors.

Connecticut raised the sales tax to 6.35 per- cent. They also broadened the tax base. That COMING means they decided to add new products and services to the tax rolls. The amount of sales tax paid is based on free market principle of values. As the cost of a taxable product goes up the tax goes up. If the cost of the product goes down the tax goes down. SOON!!!!!

According to Festival Manager Margaret LaForest nearly 180 artists attended the event, showcasing their crafts to more than 8,000 visitors. Local artist Mary Ducat of Putnam's Nutmeg Creations Putnam was among those artists. “I've been doing this show for 18 years and it's my most favorite fes- tival,” said Ducat. “It's a beautiful time of year and has a great crowd.” Roseland Cottage was built in 1846 by Woodstock-born business man Henry Chandler Bowen, who wanted a summer country retreat for his growing New York family.The house passed through the fam- ily until 1970 when it was purchased by Historic New England and converted into a museum.

enowned Boston-based Revels Repertory Company will perform its Rtraditional “Harvest Home” musical revue this Sunday, Oct. 23, at Old Sturbridge Village’s Stephen M. Brewer Theater located directly across from the Oliver Wight Tavern. The show features a delightful mix of songs, storytelling, drama and dance.

NOT SO QUIET CORNER

MARK RENBURKE

The Revels Repertory Company is the tour- ing ensemble of Revels, which has presented its famed “Christmas Revels” at Sanders Theater in Cambridge, Mass., for 40 years. The costumed ensemble of 35 adults and children performs songs, dances, and ghost stories based on 19th-century American, English and Celtic Harvest traditions, incor- porating audience participation into the per- formances. The Revels “Harvest Home” per- formance opens with “The Souling Song,” sung in England on All Soul’s Eve (Nov. 1). In this ancient ritual, children (and sometimes adults) begged for soul cakes, money, and other food or drink. Soul cakes are spiced buns, which were given in thanks for prayers for departed souls, and the custom of “soul- ing” is the origin of the American tradition of “trick-or-treating.” The program also includes Shaker songs, such as “I Will Bow “Harvest Home” and Be Simple,” with choreography based on Shaker spirit drawings.
