Snow Removal Reminders
Always give plows and operators extra space. You can see them better than they can see you. Never pass snow plows. Time and space keeps everyone safe!
Plan ahead with extra time on snow days!
Drive through breaks in the windrows, not over or across. Do now blow, throw, or deposit snow into the roadway. Park off-street if possible and move cars after plows have cleared spaces.
Shovel out fire hydrants, utility meters, and trash cans.

Give this beloved side a tasty twist this holiday season
Hosts have free rein when it comes to planning a holiday menu. Despite that freedom, many hosts feel obligated to prepare some holiday season staples their guests will surely expect when they sit down at the dinner table. Stuffing is a dish many celebrants can’t wait to see on the holiday dinner table. For hosts trusted with preparing holiday meals, the beauty of stuffing lies in its versatility. A host of unique ingredients can be added to holiday stuffing without adversely affecting the popularity of this beloved side dish. In fact, adding some unique ingredients can make people love stuffing even more. Such could be the case
with this recipe for “PecanCherry Bread Stuffing” from Lines+Angles.
Pecan-Cherry Bread Stuffing
Makes 8 servings
1 loaf crusty white or wheat bread, cut into 3⁄4-inch cubes
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus extra for baking dish
1 medium yellow onion, peeled and diced
2 large celery stalks, rinsed, trimmed and diced
4 cloves garlic, peeled and roughly chopped
1 cup packed dried tart cherries
1 cup roughly chopped toasted
pecans
2 tablespoons chopped fresh
sage leaves
1 tablespoon crushed fennel
seed
Coarse salt, to taste Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1⁄4 cup fresh chopped parsley
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1. Preheat oven to 400 F. Position oven racks in the middle and lower third of the oven. Arrange bread in a single layer on two rimmed baking sheets. Toast until dry and golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool.
2. Lightly butter a 9 x 13-inch baking dish. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
Add onion, celery and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until onion and celery are softened, about 7 minutes. Add cherries, pecans, sage, and fennel seed; cook, stirring for 1 minute. Transfer to a large bowl and season with salt and pepper.
3. Add parsley, eggs and bread to the cherry mixture; stir to combine. Add broth in two additions, stirring until absorbed. Season generously with salt and pepper; transfer stuffing to butter baking dish. Bake on middle rack until the top is deep golden brown, about 25 to 30 minutes. Let sit
for 5 minutes before serving.

Weekly Horoscopes
ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20
Aries, be careful what you ask for, as things have a funny way of coming true for you this week. Censor your thoughts for now, and perhaps hold your cards closer to the vest.
TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21
Taurus, you may have a lot of anxious thoughts right now. Friends provide a welcome diversion later in the week, and you also may want to put in more hours at work to stay distracted.
GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21
Gemini, plans aren’t panning out as you’d hoped, so consider other opportunities. Stop and consider all the possibilities as soon as possible and then make a decision.
CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22
Thoughts of love and relationships are on your mind, Cancer. However, you will have trouble expressing just how you feel to others. Think through your words before saying them.
LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23
Leo, you are a whirlwind of activity, and this causes a bit of disruption to a normally organized week. Others may remark on how you seem to be all over the place, but you know your limits.
VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22
It’s hard to imagine fitting anything else into your packed schedule, Virgo. Somehow you manage to do it. But the effects could prove stressful. Try lightening your load this week.

SUDOKU
HERE’S HOW IT WORKS
Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23
It’s time to plan and prepare, Libra. Take out a pen and paper and start making lists or use a digital planner. It’s the only way to remain organized with so much going on.
SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22
Matters at home are a priority this week, Scorpio. Focus your attention on tackling things around the house and you’ll have more time to devote to fun down the road.
SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21
It might be time to pinch some pennies, Sagittarius. This week you could come up a bit short, and it doesn’t bode well for the rest of the month. Consider new revenue streams.
CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20
Capricorn, things turn out to be calm this week, and it is surprising how much you can accomplish. This slow pace is just the reprieve you’ve needed.
AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18
Aquarius, there’s not much you can do about a particular problem, so it may be better to stop thinking about a solution. Put your attention toward something you can control.
PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20
Pisces, a few minor tweaks to your schedule and you could be able to tackle a number of tasks this week. Enjoy the productivity.
