6th Annual Event Opens On Nov. 29; Free Concerts By Whiskey Raccoons & James Carothers On Nov. 30

T

he Belleville Christkindlmarkt Committee, under the Belleville Cultural Enrichment Organization, is excited to announce the sixth annual Christkindlmarkt: An authentic German Christmas Market set around the southeast and northeast corners of scenic Public Square daily from Nov. 29 through Dec. 23.

After the huge success of the first five Christkindlmarkts, Belleville's own "Christmas Carole," Director Carole Piontkowsky, said, “It's hard to believe we are in our sixth year.

Each year grows with new and returning visitors," she said. "The Christkindlmarkt has become a fixture in Belleville and around the St. Louis area. This year we wanted to provide even more free events so those visiting family and friends will come downtown and see all that Belleville has to offer."

In a nod to Belleville’s rich German heritage, the Christkindlmarkt features European craft vendors and German food from Mascoutah Steak House (new owners of Roemer Topf) Babushka's Polish Food, Oma Gisi, Sister Cities of Paderborn and Abe's Gourmet Popcorn. Be sure and try German beverages like the traditional Gluhwein, which is a warm spiced wine, as well as German beers and hot chocolate.

Attendees this year will find the same number of vendors, yet, there will be many new vendors coming and going every week. Thus, visitors are encouraged to shop often to make sure they see everything.

A new family event this year is the Winter Wonderland Snow Globe. This is a lifesize snow globe that individuals or groups can get a fun photo from 2 to 5 p.m. on Dec. 8 and 14. Other free events for all ages will include a cookie decorating class with Sugar Doodles 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Dec. 14 and 22. Pre-registration is required on or after Dec. 1 for this special project.

Another delicious activity is Tastings and Pairings presented by Seven Restaurant and Bar at 6 p.m. on Dec. 3 and 10. Preregistration required on or before Dec. 1. Obviously there is a lot to do in the month of December so be sure and check these activities and other entertainment schedules on the web site.

Nov. 29 Opening Day Festivities Will Include: 9:45 a.m.

Christkind Proclamation 10 a.m.

Santa Parade 6 p.m.

Official Kick-Off/Tree Lighting/Parade Float winners New! Free Concerts on Nov. 30 5:15 p.m.

Whiskey Raccoons 6:30 p.m.

James Carothers VIP tickets are available: $40 per person or $75 for two. Includes catered dinner by Eckert's, snacks, dessert PLUS two drink tokens (beer and wine), sodas, water, and a seat in the heated area in front of the stage.

Live Reindeer: Nov. 30, Dec. 7, Dec. 13 and Dec. 22 Free horse drawn trolley rides every Friday - Sunday beginning Nov. 29.

Don’t forget Gustav, the Elf On Main - a small plush character - who will be hidden in 45 merchants’ shops along Main Street and Christmas Market Vendors during the holidays. Shoppers can visit these participating shops, locate Gustav and have their "passports" stamped (only 25 stamps are needed). Passports will be available on the back of the Events Page found in the Holiday Gift Guide of the Belleville News Democrat or they can be picked up at Christkindlmarkt Haus 1, or at Christmas market vendors, or at the participating stores. All completed passports must be submitted to Local Lucy's at 310 East Main St. by Dec. 22 where kids will receive a free gift just for participating (while supplies last) and one passport will be drawn on Dec. 23 to win $100 in Main Street dollars.

The Market is open Sun. 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.; Tues.-Thurs. 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.; and Fri.-Sat. 10 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Open two Mondays Dec. 16 and 23 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. (closed Dec. 2, 9). Opening Day begins at 9 a.m. For all updates, visit www.bellevillechristkindlmarkt.com and the Facebook page.

Austin’s Mohair Socks

T

Are Loved By People Around The World

he story of Jim and Ada Austin’s famed name began on a family farm in Harmony, Mn. "When it was time for Ada to take a step back from her many jobs off the farm in the early '90s, they created this whole little cottage industry that just boomed for them," their daughter, Konya Bloomquist, said, referring to their extremely successful business - Austin’s Angora Goats and Mohair Gift shop. It quickly became a must-see Minnesota travel destination not only because of the beautiful Angora Mohair fiber items in the shop, but because of the couple's warm hearts, engaging personalities and a great regard for the color purple.

Bloomquist said that one time in London's Heathrow Airport she noticed a woman wearing a purple T-shirt from the farm. The woman looked at her and said, "Can I help you?" quite suspiciously, because she was being stared at, and smiled at, by a strange American lady! Bloomquist said to her, "Have you been to the Goat farm and met the Old Goat lady?" The woman exclaimed "Yes! I LOVE HER!" and Bloomquist replied, "I DO TOO! That's my mom!"

The family hears those kinds of stories often and realizes it's a wonderful tribute to Jim and Ada's love for their Angora goats, Babydoll sheep, Silky and Fainting goats.

They treated the animals with compassion and offered wears and goods that came from them. The shop was always stocked with hides, soaps and home décor, but

the most popular item was the mohair socks! Ada, in fact, became known as the “Old Sock Lady.” Sadly, in 2012, Ada passed away and the decision was made to close the shop, but that didn’t stop the calls from coming in… people still wanted the socks! So, after careful thought and consideration it was decided that Konya (Austin) Bloomquist and her husband, Joe, would continue the family business and Austin’s Mohair Socks was born.

The wonderful mohair socks are available online and at local vendor fairs such as the upcoming Belleville Christkindlemarkt. Austin's Mohair Socks also has mohair mittens, scarves, angels, goat milk soap and mohair teddy bears. Call (618) 954-9483 or visit austinsmohair.com for more information.

The austinsmohair.com web site has a fun page with a map of the world showing where their customers are and stories of how much they love the comfort of the mohair. Happy customers are in six different countries and 13 American states.

Konya and Joe Bloomquist would love to add your story and location to the map. All customers are invited to share your mohair testimonials and locations with us so we can share them with the world!

Just email us at: socks@austinsmohair.com.

Hearthside And Fire Truck O'Toys Team Up Local Charity Provides Thousands Of Toys To Hospitalized Kids

W

ith cold weather upon us and the holidays just before us, Hearthside has a story that will warm your heart as much as your nose. Of course the company, with a gorgeous showroom in Belleville, has a HUGE selection of gas as well as wood-burning and electric fireplaces. "We are proud to represent the top brands: Empire, Heatilator, Quadra-Fire, Vermont Castings, Monessen, Golden Blount, Jotul, Dimplex and Simplifier," said owner Mark Urban. Hearthside has a full-time employed staff of installers that are factory trained and certified by their manufacturing partners with a combined experience of 60-plus years!

Another, and important, aspect of Hearthside is the wonderful, charitable project started by niece Mackenzie "Kenzie" Scott: Fire Truck O'Toys. As a small child, Kenzie was diagnosed with a degenerative bone disease called Leggs-Calves Perthes. During her treatment time in both SSM Cardinal Glennon and St. Louis Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hospitals, she noticed many children and families missing the opportunity to share in the joy of the holidays.

Thus she founded the non-for-profit Fire Truck O'Toys. It has since been her mission to make sure every hospitalized child and family receives that joy in the form of the simplest of gifts at Christmas â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a toy!

the toys and brighten every child's day." Kenzie agreed, saying, "The most important part of Christmas is the smile on a kid's face when they're given a toy."

There are lots of great ways to donate, including dropping off new, unwrapped toys at Hearthside or one of the many drop-off locations around the area, including all the Dairy Queens, McCullough's Flooring, Gateway Classic Cars, The Louvre Salon and Spa, Thrive Fitness, and many others. Please check the web site for all the locations. The public is welcome to make monetary donations as well on the secure PayPal page at www.firetruckotoys.org.

For more information about Fire Truck O'Toys, please visit www.firetruckotoys. org. Please visit the Hearthside showroom at 418 South Belt East, just east of the Belleville fairgrounds 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday. Call (618) 257-0700, visit hearthsidegrill.com or stop by the showroom to warm up and say "Hi!"

Now in its ninth year, Kenzie and her parents, Dave and Renee Scott, plus Unc Mark Urban, owner of Hearthside, along with the help of Santa and a big red firetruck, have delivered more than 30,000 toys to the boys and girls who need it most. The goal this year is to deliver 9,000 toys to all five of St. Louis' children's hospitals this holiday! Radio personalities of KLOU 103.3 Billy Greenwood and co-hosts have been terrific supporters of Kenzie and have featured her on their shows for many years.

"We could never have done this without the outpouring of love from our community," said Renee Scott. "Even Louie from our NHL champs, the St. Louis Blues, helps to deliver

Are you well versed in matters of energy deregulation? Be careful, some suppliers take advantage of the uninformed or the chosen company might not be financially stable.”

“I recommend using a consultant such as Commercial Energy Consultants (CEC) that has been working with energy deregulation for the last 10 years.

This process takes the hassle out of working directly with the supplier.”

ORGANIZE YOUR HOME With A Garage Or Closet Remodel

I

nterestingly, the garage is generally the most under-utilized space in the home. Although it’s an extension of the home - and is the dumping ground for everything that doesn’t fit in the house – it’s important to have a plan for garage storage that can help organize the entire home.

When the holiday’s roll around and the sports seasons change, the home can be ready no matter what time of the year.

A Tailored Living garage organization specialist will help maximize garage storage space with custom garage cabinets and wall storage solutions tailored to the client’s particular activities.

“Won’t it be nice to find exactly what you’re looking for when you need it,” said Rich McQuay, owner of Tailored Living of West and St. Charles, Mo. “I guarantee you will wonder how you ever overlooked this valuable, extra garage storage space."

Custom Closets

Not all closets are created equal. Throughout the home, there are undoubtedly several types of closets: walk­in, reach­in, utility, easily­accessible and “why-is­ this-even-here space?” Closet space is valuable in any home and, generally, no one believes they have enough.

Tailored Living’s designers can help maximize closet storage space throughout your home with custom closet systems. “Whether in the bedroom, family room or entryway, the company guarantees there is more space than you realize with our custom storage solutions,” McQuay said. “ We can help you unclutter and organize for more efficient, stress-­free living with custom closet systems.”

Call (636) 728-0333 to schedule a free in-home consultation and 3D design. Tailoredliving.com and RAKcoatings.com.

Using a combination of garage cabinets, shelves or Slatwall wall storage systems, overhead racks and custom garage flooring, the garage will be transformed into a masterpiece of utility and beauty, making garage organization a part of everyday life.

Custom garage cabinets give a clean, uniform look to your garage. Cabinets bring order out of chaos by hiding everything behind closed doors. Clutter and piles are eliminated and there’s a designated place for every item in the garage.

Open wall storage is ideal for sports equipment and large tools like rakes, shovels and hoses that create a safety hazard if stacked on the floor.

But no garage design is truly complete without new garage flooring. Untreated, dull concrete will not only detract from beautiful new cabinets, it’s harder to keep clean, tends to hold moisture and cold, and is ergonomically at odds with knees and backs. Tailored Living has a wide range of options for garage flooring to add that finishing touch.

Holiday Decorating Tips From An Expert

L

ocal interior designer Kay Kendall provided some great ideas for Christmas decorating on a budget. “Every few years, it’s time to regroup, rethink and recreate new ideas using your existing or recycled holiday decorations,” she said. “Go green!”

First of all, “Make a plan! Before you drag everything out of storage, it's helpful if you decide on a theme,” Kendall said.

Also, have fun with various sizes and scales of ornaments and decorations sitting about the house. “Different sizes keeps things interesting and please don't fill every corner, nook and cranny with Christmas décor,” she said. “Less is always more!”

• Entry Door and Porch • Tree – any size pine tree or use a large houseplant!

• Fireplace Mantle • Dining Room Table • Windows Finally, “decorating should be fun,” Kendall said. “Embellish some of your existing ornaments such as glass bulbs and wreaths. Kids love to help decorate with glitter, jewels, ribbons, photos, clay pots, candies and cookies. Let them take past or existing holiday cards and make ornaments or wall hangings out of them.”

A few ideas to consider: • Toyland • Old Fashioned • Rustic • Santa • Country • Victorian • Patriotic • Modern or Eclectic Mix • Artsy or whimsical Secondly, keep it simple. “Don't overwhelm yourself by trying to use everything you have or driving all over in search of the perfect items,” Kendall said. “Pick your favorite items for your theme and add some bold color combinations (this is great for the colored glass tree bulbs).”

Areas of the house that make the biggest impact for your holiday décor:

Decide what you are going to use and if there are items in your collection that you haven’t used lately, donate to a shelter or service organization where they can give another family great joy. Or, keep half of your collection and donate the other: “It feels good!”

Allstate provides home, auto, business and life insurances, among others. Currently the company is offering a new Life Insurance policy that pays out like a monthly paycheck. “Most life insurance pays out a lump sum, but it’s hard to know if that money will be enough to last,” Orelt said. “That’s why we are providing the ‘Monthly Income Term Life Insurance.’” For a quick quote, give the office a call.

Of course, home insurance is very important to the agency to help clients protect their home with coverages that fit their needs. “Our team understands life in Belleville, because we live here, too. We know firsthand what the risks are in our area and, as a local Allstate agency, whether you’re moving into your first place, adding onto your home or need to file a claim, we’ll be here when you have questions and need assistance.”

“Being involved in the community is very important to me,” Orelt said. “As an Allstate agent, I am member of the Greater Belleville Chamber of Commerce where I was recognized as an Ambassador of the Year. Additionally, I volunteer with Hospice of Southern Illinois and Big Brothers/Big Sisters to help guide youth to a brighter future. I also coach youth hockey for a local team. Just recently, I joined the Shriner’s.”

Eye Doctor Helps Legally Blind To See

High Technology For Low Vision Patients Helps Many To Drive Again

or many patients with macular degeneration and other vision-related conditions, the loss of central visual detail also signals the end to one of the last bastion of independence: driving. A Mascoutah optometrist, Dr. Marianne McDaniel, is using miniaturized telescopes that are mounted in glasses to help people who have lost vision from macular degeneration and other eye conditions.

Nine out of 10 people who have macular degeneration have the dry form. New research suggests vitamins can help. The British medical journal BMC Ophthalmology recently reported that 50 percent of patients treated with a high-dose combination of vitamins experienced improved vision after six months.

While age is the most significant risk factor for developing the disesase, heredity, smoking, cardiovascular disease, and high blood pressure have also been identified as risk factors.

Some patients consider Dr. Marianee McDaniel the last stop for people who have vision loss, one of only a few doctors in the world who specialize in fitting bioptic telescopes to help those who have lost vision due to macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and other debilitating eye diseases.

Macular degeneration accounts for 90 percent of new legal blindness in the U.S. While there is currently no cure, promising research is being done on many fronts. "My job is to figure out everything and anything possible to keep a person functioningm especially driving," said Dr. McDaniel.

Imagine a pair of glasses that can improve vision enough to actually change one's life.

Low vision patients have probably not only imagined them, but have been searching for them. Bioptic telescopes may be the breakthrough in optical technology that will return the independence to whom once had it.

Patients with vision in the 20/200 range can many times be improved to 20/50 or better.

Macular degeneration is the leading causae of blindness and vision loss in people over 50. Despite this, most adults are not familiar with the condition. As many as 25 percent of those over the age of 50 have some degree of macular degeneration. The macula is only one small part of the retina; however, it is the most sensitive and gives us sharp central vision. When it degenerates, macular degeneration leaves a blind spot right in the center of vision, making it difficult or impossible to recognize faces, read a book, or pass the driver's vision test.

"Bioptic telescopes can cost over $2,000," she said, "especially if we build them with an automatic sunglass. The major benefit of the bioptic telescope is that the lens automatically focuses on whatever you're looking at. It's like a self-focusing camera, but more more precise."

To learn more about the bioptic telescopes or to schedule a consultation, give the office of Dr. Marianne McDaniel a call at (618) 566-8899 and visit www.mascoutaheyecare.com.

The office is located at 100 East Main Street in Mascoutah.

The Glory of Christmas Is Set For 7 p.m. On December 8 and 9

F

or 29 years, Metro East audiences have been treated to a spectacular Christmas concert presented by the St. Matthew Sanctuary Choir, Orchestra and Drama Ministry.

The Glory of Christmas is the story of Christ’s birth, what he meant to the world then and what he continues to mean for us today.

“There are at least 200 people who participate including entire families some of whom have grown up in the church and now have children of their own who are involved in the program,” said Hank Oplinger, Minister of Music at St. Matthew United Methodist Church in Belleville. “From costume and set design to caring for the live animals on set, to singing in the choir or playing in the orchestra, everyone has their part to play.”

The program has something for everyone including a secular side featuring fun holiday

songs, the “Parade of the Wooden Soldiers,” and so much more. One of the highlights of the evening is a performance of “The Little Drummer Boy” by the Belleville West Drum Line.

This year, national recording artist Brian Arner will be performing as well. “The Glory of Christmas will start at 7 p.m., but Brian will begin at 6:30 p.m.,” Oplinger said. “Honestly, we encourage people to get to the church at least by 6 p.m. to ensure a good seat.”

Indeed, there is no charge for this very special event and the sanctuary will fill up quickly.

The Glory of Christmas is interpreted nightly for the hearing impaired and is streamed LIVE nightly on the church website: www.stmatthewumc.org.

St. Matthew UMC is located at 1200 Moreland Drive in Belleville.

Please call (618) 397-5994 for more information.
