10 Tips for Secure Family ComputingComputers and the Internet are ordinary daily tools for familiesand children of all ages. How can you minimize the risk of onlinethreats and prepare young Internet users for safe and smartInternet use? The guidelines, below, will help you secure yourfamily computer.Discuss safe surfing and online behavior with your children.Create an open dialogue about safe computing habits. Findout what your children are most interested in online and whatsites they visit. Teach older children and teens about online responsibility,and underscore the importance of viewing onlinematerial with a “critical eye.”Operate your computer under a limited-user account. You exposeyourself to a variety of security risks when you run Windows usingthe all-powerful administrator account. And if your childrenact as administrators on the family computer, all of your personalinformation (including your passwords, credit card information,family finances and other sensitive stored data) is in jeopardy ofbeing sent to spyware attackers who are anxious to take advantageYou’re NOT backing up your data???• Viruses • Hackers• Hard Drive Crashes• Data Corruption• Fire • Flood• Natural Disasters• Theft • Human Error• DisgruntledEmployeesYour companyfiles are thelifeblood of yourbusiness, andyour hard drive isthe keeper of allyour hard workThe Hebronian September 2008 Page 4by Allen SteinDon’t wait until disaster comes!A swarm of common data lossrisks threaten to destroy yourdata - instantlyof you. Once you switch to a limited account, you can assignthe administrator account a password to keep other computerusers from changing the computer’s settings.Always Use up-to-date security software. Anti-virus software,anti-spyware software and a firewall (the best firewall is ahardware one that comes with a router) are critical and basicprotection to have on your computer. Teach older children andteens how to use the software and ensure that they understandwhy security software is so important.Set up the family computer in a central location. Move the computerto the living room or kitchen, instead of a child’s bedroom,for more effective parental supervision. We Computer Tamershave found that this tip is extremely important.Consider using parental controls to block inappropriate websites.If you decide to use parental control software or use your router’sblocking capability please keep in mind that monitoring softwaremay not block every bit of unwanted material. Nothing replacesthe guidance of parents and adults. There are, however, many“online filters” availablewww.thecomputertamers.com/backup.htmCall 456-1310 x 105sales@thecomputertamers.com75 Bridge StWillimantic, CTto help you protect yourkids. Contact your localcomputer service companyfor guidance on how to dothis. We Computer Tamersoffer free help on safecomputing.Supervise the flow of informationcoming into andout of the home. Be sureto talk with your childrenabout what informationcan and should not beshared online. If your childuses instant messaging,e-mail, or social networkingsites (like MySpace.com), block messages fromanyone not on the child’spre-approved contact list.Make the effort to overseeposts to personal profiles,blogs and e-mail messagesE-mail your news to: hebronian@gulemo.com

to ensure that private information is notmade public. We Computer Tamers suggestthat you set up younger children witha family e-mail address so you can monitorincoming messages.Limit interactive games and websites to“kid friendly” sites. With older kids andteens, what constitutes as “kid friendly” isa gray area. For example, social networkingsites are sure to be popular hangouts formost pre-teens and teens, but these typesof sites present many risks. If your childrenuse these sites, make certain they are awareof the dangers of both online predatorsand other “web nasties” like spyware andviruses (both today are called malware).Monitor downloads, file sharing, anduploading music. Don’t let your childrendownload unauthorized copies ofcopyrighted music from file-sharing or peer-to-peer networks.Make sure your children understand that there are penalties forpirating and that you as their parents can get in trouble if theybecome Internet pirates. The same goes for sharing copyrightedmusic through instant messaging or even with making CDs togive to others. Advise them against other free downloads likescreensavers and “smiley faces” for e-mail. These “free goodies”can often come bundled with “tons of malware and spyware” thatcan corrupt your computer. Teach your children to think beforethey click on a link. This advice goes for adults as well.Don’t let online socializing replace the real world and healthypersonal communications. Understand that social networking isbetter suited for older kids and teens. Set the example early onthat while the Internet is a great tool for staying in touch, gettingoutside on the playground and having face-to-face conversationsare more important.61B Main Street • Hebron, CT 06248Tel: 860-228-8221 • Fax 860-228-8223For all your travel needs... give us a callCruisesAir/Land PackagesTours - GroupsVisit us on the Web at www.hebrontravel.come-mail: hebrontravel@cs.comHours:Monday - Thursday 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.Saturday 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.Let Nancy, Pat, Joe, Bea or Suehelp you with all yourtravel needs.Allen is one of the Computer Tamers who host The ComputerClub heard every Wednesday after the 5 o’clock news on WILIAM 14.

Exciting Events at This Year’sHebron Harvest Fairby Donna McCallaThe 71 members of the Hebron Lions Club have been busy allsummer, getting ready for the 38 th Annual Hebron Harvest Fair.Fair Superintendent Dr. Steven Beauchene said he is lookingforward “to providing the best fair ever.”Attendance at this year’s fair may top previous years due to bothtraditional favorite events and the bands that are appearing.Gone are the days of the “Giant Alligator” displays, as wellas the sale of old furniture by local residents, as seen inthis picture taken at the 1980 Hebron Harvest Fair by JohnSoderberg. Today’s fair offers thrilling rides, famous bands,and an expanded agricultural education effort by the Lions.Headlining the musical entertainment will be America, a groupwho made A Horse With No Name, Ventura Highway, and DaisyJane some of the most popular songs of the 1970’s. Americaperforms Sunday at 3:00 p.m. Additional performing artistsat this year’s fair are local band Columbia Fields, The RockingHeartbeats, Spread Eagles, and The Don Campbell Band.Our HomesAre Selling ...Can WeHelp You?Steve & Debbie Temple633-7235 228-1218RE/MAX East of the RiverBeauchene is particularly excited about this year’s animal exhibits.“The livestock shows and barns have always been a populararea of the fair,” he said. “We have a Cattle barn, a Dairy Goatbarn, a Sheep barn, a Swine barn and a Small Animal and Poultrybarn. For the past 18 years, even before I joined the Lions, Ihelp out with the animal barns.”Popular bands can certainly bring in the crowds. But largercrowds also mean more vehicles on Hebron’s two-lane streets,causing local residents to either groan or laugh.“I remember the year John Cafferty performed,” said Don David,Entertainment Superintendent. “Traffic was backed up allthe way to the center of town, and it was time for him to appear…but no John. He was caught up in the traffic! I jumpedon a golf cart and weaved my way around the cars until I got toRoute 85, except I couldn’t locate his car. So I called the driver,asking him to flash his headlights. I drove up, loaded John andthe other band members and their guitars onto the golf cart,and away we went. I still wonder today what people thoughtof that sight,” he laughed.The Hebronian September 2008 Page 6The Hebron Lions Club recently pulled down an old building,creating more space for fairgoers at this year’s 38th AnnualHebron Harvest Fair. Members shown are (left to right): CarlZirkenbach, Bob Schadtle, John Smith, Mike Kelly (hidden),and John Johnson, Sr.E-mail your news to: hebronian@gulemo.com

Inevitably, calves, sheep and pigs are born during some fairs requiringmedical assistance, so Beauchene’s presence and skills are always welcome.“Those animal births are proven crowd pleasers!” he said.Midway rides are again being offered by Reithoffer Shows. While thePay-One-Price wristbands have increased to $25 ($20 if purchased inadvance), they can now be purchased for five different time periods:Thursday from 4:00 to 10:00 p.m; Friday from noon to 5:00 p.m.;Friday from 5:00 to 11:00 p.m.; Saturday from 10:00 a.m. until 2:00p.m.; and Sunday from noon to 8:00 p.m. “This gives attendees a lotmore opportunities to ride all the rides they can for just one price,”said Beauchene.The Family Entertainment Area has expanded again. Richard Griswold,past Lions President, noted the area is a great place for interactive agriculturaleducation. “At Old McDonald’s Farm, kids can see milking,ice-cream making, and butter-churning demonstrations; they also geta chance to learn how to gather eggs and husk corn. At the new Birdsof Prey exhibit, families can enjoy and learn about a variety of birds;there will be two daily “Birds of the Gauntlet” shows,” he said.This year also finds a new Stage III in the Family Entertainment Area,featuring entertaining acts such as magician Michael Michaels, TheMorgans and Radio Ranch Bands, Gail Wade and Turning Point,and Ruth O’Neil. The Kid’s Pedal Tractor Pull and the Frog JumpingCompetition are also located in this area. “A special event will be theon-stage presentation of the Radio Disney traveling road show featuringgames, dancing and music from children’s favorite Disney Channelstars,” said Griswold.In a slight break with tradition, both the Junior Miss Hebron HarvestFair and the Miss Hebron Harvest Fair contests will be held on Thursdayevening from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.Don’t forget the Demolition Derby, scheduled for Thursday beginningat 7:30 p.m. and the Double Figure 8 Demolition Derby, starting at7:30 on Friday night. Come early for both events; they’re always crowdfavorites.The Hebron Harvest Fair brings a lot of economic benefits to the community.For many local organizations, it is their largest fundraiser of theyear. “Without the fair, our Hebron non-profits would need to havenumerous events to generate their revenue,” said Don David.The Lions also use fair revenues to support local groups, as evidencedin this year’s “Night of Giving” when they donated almost $100,000to various local, state and national charities.“Being a Lion gives me a sense of pride in belonging to one of the largestservice organizations in the world,” said Past President George Blain.“Each time I hear a story of how Lions were able to touch the livesof those in need, it makes me truly proud to be a Lion. The HebronHarvest Fair is a mechanism to fulfill our motto, ‘We Serve.’”For more information, go to www.HebronHarvestFair.org.

But what exactly is ContemporaryChristian Music? Before the early 1970’s, Christian Music couldbe categorized as either Traditional Hymns, Southern Gospel or asTraditional Black Gospel styles. From the Peace Movement of thelate 1960’s, came a time of Christian revival for young people acrossthe country. This movement was known as the Jesus Movement andit gave birth to a new breed of Christians who were anxious to tellothers about Jesus, but found the traditional methods of sharingand worshipping restrictive and out-dated. As they attempted towrite culturally relevant music, Contemporary Christian Musicwas born.Contemporary Christian Music was largely rejected in Americanchurches until 1971. It was in that year that Time Magazine featuredan article about “Jesus Music” and dubbed Larry Normanas its “brightest star”.Larry Norman was co-founder ofPeople, a band who reached thebillboard top 20 with “I Love You”in 1966. Because of religious disputeswith other band members (allother members except for one wereScientologists), Larry left the bandupon the release of People’s firstalbum.In 1969, he recorded his first solo rock album, Upon This Rock,with Capitol Records. His goal, in his own words:I wanted to push aside the traditional gospel quartet music, breakdown the church doors and let the hippies and the prostitutes and otherunwashed rabble into the sanctuary...I wanted to talk about feedingthe poor, going into the world....[I felt that] most of the modern musicwas anemic and needed a transfusion.[While Norman’s lyrics were unabashedly Christian, his music gaineda large following in the emerging countercultural movements.The Hebronian September 2008 Page 12In 1972, he recorded a second studio album for MGM recordswith help from Beatles producer George Martin. The album titled,“Only Visiting This Planet,” is largely regarded as one of the topcontemporary Christian music albums of all time. Two songs fromthat album became anthems for the Jesus People movement: “WhyShould the Devil Have All the Good Music” and “I Wish We’d AllBeen Ready”.Larry Norman’s songs addressed themes that Christian music hadnever addressed: politics (The Great American Novel), free love(Pardon Me), witchcraft and the occult (Forget Your Hexagram),and religious hypocrisy (Right Here In America).Bob Dylan, Van Morrison and John Mellencamp have claimed tobe fans of Larry Norman’s music and over 300 artists have coveredhis songs, including Sammy Davis, Jr.Larry passed away on Feb. 24 th , 2008, after a long battle with heartrelated problems. Chris Willman, columnist for EntertainmentWeekly wrote:“He had a heart for evangelism — almost to his detriment. He reallycould’ve been a star if he were singing about something other thanJesus.”On a personal note, Larry Norman was instrumental in my comingto know Jesus as Christ. I knew him as the church boy holdinghis own in the decadent world of rock music. A lot of church folkdidn’t understand Larry Norman and they labeled him “a sinner ina world of saints.” I saw him as a saint in a world of sinners.A film about his life is scheduled to be released by the end of2008.An anthology of his music - Rebel Poet, Jukebox Balladeer: TheAnthology, is now available. The 20 songs chosen for the CD serveas a fine introduction to the man Time Magazine dubbed “TheFather of Contemporary Christian Music.”E-mail your news to: hebronian@gulemo.com

Remembering Davidby Donna McCallaread at least a couple of times duringthe day to remind everyone ofthe freedoms we enjoy.” Judy alsoforesees street jugglers, Americanamusic, food vendors, a battle oflocal bands, culminating in thetoilet-bowls-on-wheels race. Shehopes to put together a planningcommittee to work out the detailsin time for July 4, 2009.David Podell, shown here with his wife Judy, was EMS Captain for theHebron Volunteer Fire Department. HVFD plans to put his name on thenew ambulance that the town is purchasing.Area residents were saddened to learn of the passing of DavidPodell. David served the Hebron community in a number ofsilent ways, but was best known as EMS Captain for the HebronVolunteer Fire Department.“This is an event that we talkedabout so much,” said Judy. “Davidwould be pleased to knowHebron is starting a new tradition.”A celebration of David’s life willbe held Saturday, September 13,4:00 p.m. on the grounds of theGilead Congregational Church.David was inspired by theThundermug Races he sawin his annual biking trip toIowa. Judy hopes to createan annual townwide event,the David G. Podell MemorialThundermug Race, in David’smemory. The event wouldbe held every July 4th,regardless of what day of theweek Independence Day fallson. Photos courtesy of JudithPodell.He passed away on June 27 after battling Myelodysplasia, a bonemarrow disease, for eight years.David and his wife, Judy, moved to Hebron in 1997, makingthe historic Gilead Grange their home.The couple’s family background was an influence on their lives.David’s grandparents had immigrated to America from Russia,and Judy’s parents had fled Germany just prior to World War II,arriving in the United States just before Judy’s birth. “I thinkbecause of our immigrant roots, David and I had a special feelingfor Independence Day and what it means to be an American,”said Judy.For many years, she and David felt Hebron should have atownwide event to celebrate Independence Day. David was particularlyinspired by the “Thundermug Races” he saw during hisannual biking trips in Iowa. “He said they were a lot of fun andeveryone, spectators and participants, had a ball,” said Judy.She wants to incorporate his idea by holding an annual David G.Podell Memorial Thundermug Race on July 4 th , whatever day ofthe week that may fall on. But what, you ask, is a “ThundermugRace?” It’s a two-person race of toilet bowls and plungers!“I see all kinds of activities for the day, starting with the reading ofthe Declaration of Independence on the steps of Old Town Hall,”said Judy. “It’s an inspiring document, and one that should bePROFESSIONAL ELECTRICFOR YOUR ELECTRICAL NEEDSLICENSED AND INSUREDOUR SPECIALTIES• 24 HOUR EMERGENCY SERVICE• OLD WORK RENOVATIONS• LIGHTING CONSULTANTSDENYS CROWLEYDANIEL LARSON (LIC.# 103826)147 HOPE VALLEY ROADAMSTON, CT 06231860-228-9170The Hebronian September 2008 Page 13

“One Book” ProgramGains in Popularityby Donna McCallaIt usually takes time for a program – especially a national program– to take root and grow. But in Hebron, that’s not thecase with the “One Book” program, introduced in 1998 by theWashington Center for the Book and the Library of Congress.The idea behind “One Book” is that communities (either individuallyor as a joint project with surrounding communities)select one book, advertise the selection, allow people time toread it, and then come together and discuss the book. Threeyears ago, the Hebron and Glastonbury libraries took the leadin forming the “East of the River Reads” consortium, which alsoincludes the towns of Andover, Bolton, Colchester, Columbia,Glastonbury, Manchester, Marlborough, and Portland.The book selected for the 2008 “One Book” program is BillyBoyle: A World War II Mystery by Connecticut author James R.Benn. The story revolves around Billy, an ex-Boston cop whofinds himself in London as a member of the U. S. Army, where heis ordered to find a spy. “This year’s choice seems very popular,”said Mary Ellen Beck, Director of the Douglas Library. “Bothmen and women like reading it, and many of our 12 copies wereout in circulation soon after the title was announced.”Douglas Library Staff Member Judy Newton talks to patronsabout this year’s One Book selection, Billy Boyle: A World WarII Mystery. The library has 12 copies available for circulation;they are located in a special display at the Main Desk.FREE ESTIMATESPAINTINGWHEN ONLY THEBEST WILL DOYou still have time to read Billy Boyle. Beck will lead a discussionon the book at the Russell Mercier Senior Center on Monday,September 29, beginning at 12:30 p.m. For more information,call the Senior Center at 228-1700.The East of the River communities will gather on Thursday,October 2, at the Welles-Turner Memorial Library, 2407 MainStreet, Glastonbury beginning at 7:00 p.m. to discuss the book.“Hebron hosted the very first East of the River Reads communitydiscussion when we formed in 2006; over 200 people came andit was an entertaining as well as educational event,” said Beck.“Because this book seems to be such a popular choice, I expecta lot of people will attend.”To reserve your copy of Billy Boyle, call the Douglas LibraryMain Desk, 228-9312.The Hebronian September 2008 Page 14E-mail your news to: hebronian@gulemo.com

Christ Lutheran Early Childhood Center Food Pantry MissionDuring the month of July, 2008 the Camp All Stars at Christ Lutheran Early Childhood Center, in Hebron, held four bake salesto raise money to support the Tri Town Shelter in Vernon. The center held a collection for families to donate food items and themoney raised at the bake sales was used for the All Stars to go grocery shopping for the shelter. On 8/13/08 the All Stars, theirteachers and some volunteer parents and grandparents drove to Ted’s IGA in Hebron armed with shopping lists and the $500that was raised from their bake sales. Everyone descended upon Ted’s and filled four grocery carts with food for the shelter’s foodpantry. After grocery shopping, everyone piled back into their vehicles and headed over to the shelter to deliver the goods.CLECC’s Camp All Stars, their families and teachers, pose in frontof Ted’s IGA in Hebron on 8/13/08.

I would like to express my thanks to the Gilead Village Daycommittee for making August 2, 2008 a day for all Gileadites toremember. Chairman Alison Doherty and her committee puttogether a marvelous day of entertainment, fun, and educationas they hosted the events for the public at large which informedus of the history of Gilead’s past.The Gilead Congregational Church, located on Gilead Street,provided all with a look at its newly completed addition, whichthey are calling Fellowship Hall. The church provided lunch tomany of the day’s hungry sojourners. In the earliest days, if youlived in Gilead, you were a member of the church, as churchand state were one.Just One Stop for All of Your AutoService Needs - 24 Wall Street, HebronandTarca’s Hebron Automotive Repair and HebronQuick-Lube ~ together we provide a car-careteam that delivers the professional service,convenience, and knowledge to get you back on theroad fast!

It featured photos of personages and structures, both pastand present, that have become a part of Gilead’s woven history.The quilt will remain on display at the church.Just down the street, members of the Gilead Cemetery Associationhosted a walking tour. This is Gilead’s only active cemetery,with its earliest inhabitants dating from Gideon Post, who diedJanuary 1, 1752. The executive director of the ConnecticutGravestone Network, Ruth Shapleigh Brown, was there toanswer questions from the public. She demonstrated how tosafely remove lichen from the stones, and advised us what to do(and not to do) to aid in the stones’ preservation.Further south, Country Carpenters, located on the cusp ofGilead, made presentations throughout the day, much like theydid for the Maple Fest earlier this year. Interested spectatorsobserved how blacksmithing was performed in the early days.Ned Ellis, owner of Gilead’s active Mapleleaf dairy farm, organizedan informative tour of his farm, complete with ongoingtours with guides. Hundreds of people saw a newborn calf, onlytwo hours old, already standing and feeding. Mr. Ellis himselfconducted some of the tours, educating people as to the nuancesand intricacies involved in running a dairy farm. He was aidedby other farmers, also a part of the collective Farmer’s Cow, adairy company whose ownership is composed of local farmersin nearby towns.Lastly, the Gilead Day committee produced a booklet, entitled“Glimpses of Gilead, Old and New” which, for the modest$10.00 purchase fee, gives a unique and extensive glimpse intothe history of Hebron’s northernmost village. Although I am anative Gileadite, I found the booklet to be informative, addingto my knowledge. It’s my understanding that there are somebooklets still available. To an historian, this booklet is invaluable,worth many times its price. The booklet highlights buildings inGilead over 100 years old, in an order that allows one to conducta self-guided house tour. Many of the more than 100 photosare in color, contrasting with the black-and-white photos ofyesteryear, in a then-and-now format.I would personally like to seeGilead Day become an annualevent, with Gilead’s two golfcourses (Blackledge and Tallwood)participating, as well asa tour of Gay City, and a recreationof the Gilead parade,held from the 1930s to themid-1990s.The Hebronian September 2008 Page 16E-mail your news to: hebronian@gulemo.com

A wildflower classroom wascreated on the trail with a new “Woodland Wildflower Loop”path constructed by volunteers Nicholas Aubin, Emily Carpenter,Mrs. Carolyn Aubin, and H.E.S. staff Mrs. ChristineCarpenter and Mrs. Tracey Brown. The trail features eighteennewly planted wildflowers that the P.T.A. helped purchase, eachlabeled clearly for anyone on the trail to see.The students researched numerous wildflowers native to this areaand helped select the plants that would be best suited to ourwildflower classroom. The school librarian, Victoria Phillips,showed every class how to research the various native wildflowers85 Stage Harbor Road,Marlborough, Conn.860-295-9531The Hebronian September 2008 Page 18Nature Trail Committee members Chris Carpenter & CarolynAubin planting wildflowers in the new wildflower classroom.have been used by Native Americans, how it is pollinated and manymore of its unique characteristics. The children saw a slide show andlive examples of the plants as they learned about these beautiful andrare wildflowers. The P.T.A. sponsored this program.The following day students were lead in small groups throughoutthe nature trail by volunteers. Each volunteer guided four or fivestudents in identifying many wildflowers they discovered alongthe trail in somewhat of a scavenger hunt. Students recordedtheir observations about each of their mystery specimens anddrew sketches of each plant on the forms they were provided.Then they returned to the “wildflower classroom” on the trail andYour Long Term and Short Term Skilled Nursing FacilityPASSPORT REHABILITATION PROGRAMAfter a hip or knee replacement, every patient is eager to get backto an active lifestyle.

China Trip Results in Cultural Exchange Effortsby Donna McCallaelementary schools and Zhangqiu Shuangshan Central PrimarySchool located in the Shandong Province.Mrs. Susan Bottaro’s first grade class at Gilead Hill Elementarymade kites that spell out “Hello New Friends.” The kites arepart of a cultural exchange program with their sister school inChina.

Sheis excited to share what she learned with her students, teachersand other administrators, but she’s even more excited aboutcreating some cultural exchange programs between Hebron’sGilead Hill Principal Kathryn Veronesi returned in lateApril from a trip to China, where she learned much aboutChinese education methods. She also taught a classand provided feedback to Chinese teachers. Veronesi hopesto implement a series of cultural exchange projects at theelementary schools.

Accompanying Veronesi on the tripwere the principals of Andover andMarlborough Elementary Schools andthe principal of Bolton High School. The“sister school” program is sponsored by theConnecticut Department of Education.“Prior to our trip, schools who participatedin the program were at the high schoollevel,” said Veronesi. “However, we wereinvited to come, and I’m sure we are justthe first of many other elementary schoolswho will take advantage of this learningopportunity.”“At this school, we talk a lot about being acommunity. What I’m hoping is that kidswill understand that the world is a community,and I want them to feel they are apart of this world community. I want themto be knowledgeable and excited about theopportunities they might have,” she continued.One thing that caught Veronesi’s attention was all the kites shesaw. China is the birthplace of kites, as Olympic commentatorshave frequently reminded us. Veronesi thought it would be agood start of a cultural exchange program to have Gilead studentsmake kites and send them to their Chinese counterparts as asign of common interests among all children. Susan Bottaro, afirst grade teacher, picked up quickly on the idea.“Sue’s class made a series of kites with letters on them,” said Veronesi.“Spelled out, they say Hello New Friends.” The kites weremailed, and the class will hopefully hearback from the Chinese students shortlyafter school starts.Veronesi also met with 5 th and 6 th gradestudents at Hebron Elementary, and foundseveral excited to become “pen friends”(through email) with the Chinese students.Since the Chinese begin studying Englishin the 3 rd grade, the expected language barriercan be overcome. Veronesi also hopesto institute an email exchange betweenteachers in the two countries, exploringissues such as how expertise in math andscience get cultivated in children.You can read more about Veronesi’s tripin her blog located on the Gilead HillSchool homepage,http://www.ghs.hebron.k12.ct.us/.Marlborough Foot ClinicStuart L.

FINANCIAL FOCUSby Steve BlevinsDon’t Let Bear Market Devour YourInvestment StrategyIf you’re an investor, you’ve probably beenless than ecstatic lately when you open thenewspaper and see what’s happening inthe stock market. From October 2007 to the end of June, theDow Jones Industrial Average fell about 20 percent. And stockprices continued to slide during the first two weeks of July. Arewe in a “bear market”? And, if so, how should you respond?First of all, you might want to know a little bit about the natureof bear markets. By one commonly used definition, a bear marketoccurs when stock prices have declined by 20 percent or more.Bear markets last, on average, about 14 months; a two-year bearmarket is considered to be on the long side. Generally speaking,a bear market is triggered by unexpected events or economicconditions, which, in 2007 and 2008, include the credit crunchand soaring oil prices. And bear markets can end asquickly, and as unpredictably, as they began.You may well feel the need to do something. Here’s anidea: Why not approach a bear market the same way youwould an actual bear? Consider these suggestions:• Stay calm. If you were to ever encounter a real bear,you’d need to avoid panicking. And the same is truewith a bear market. You can’t control stock prices,but you can control your reaction to them. If youremain calm and survey your individual situationwith an understanding of what’s happening in thebroader market, you’ll be likely to make rationaldecisions.• Make no sudden moves. When facing a bear, youcan’t make sudden moves. And when you’re in themidst of a bear market, you also want to avoidreacting too quickly. If you’ve built a portfolio ofquality investments that are suitable for your goals,risk tolerance and time horizon, stay the course andstick with your long-term strategy— even duringa bear market.are typically too quick for most people — even so-calledmarket experts — to anticipate. Nonetheless, many peopletry to “outrun” a bear market by jumping out of it, thinkingthat they can profit from missing some of the market’s worstdays. But when you head to the investment sidelines, youcan also miss some of the market’s best days, too. Either way,you’re trying to time the market, and it’s almost impossibleto do so consistently.Even if you follow these ideas, you may find it hard to staypositive in the midst of a prolonged slump. Staying investedthroughout market ups and downs can help you work towardsyour long-term strategy. By observing the rules for dealing witha bear and by focusing on your long-term strategy you can notonly survive a bear market, but also use it to your advantage.And that thought should make your situation more “bearable.”YOU CAN’T CONTROLTHE WORLD,BUT YOU CAN CONTROL YOUR DECISIONS.Sometimes the market reacts poorly to world events, butjust because the market reacts doesn’t mean you should.Still, if current events are making you feel uncertain aboutyour finances, you should schedule a complimentaryportfolio review. That way, you can make sure you’re incontrol of where you want to go and how you get there.Call or visit your local financial advisor today.Steve BlevinsFinancial Advisor.10 Main StHebron, CT 06248860-228-4909www.edwardjones.com Member SIPC• Don’t try to “outrun” a bear.
