Santa's Own Busts Popular Christmas Tree Myths

Which is better? A live Christmas tree, or a permanent one?  The debate is as perennial as the holiday the trees commemorate.

One side claims they’d rather have the real thing. The other side protests that permanent trees have come a long way in recent years. And, if anything, the remarks of some potential buyers have switched from “It looks fake,” to “It looks too perfect.” 
Santa’s Own, of Brunswick, Ohio, is one of the nation’s foremost manufacturers, assemblers and wholesalers of permanent Christmas trees. Its staff takes pride in helping to sway public opinion toward the high-end, permanent tree.
“We offer what is probably the most life-like – and perhaps the most expensive –  Christmas tree on the market,” says Brian Love, president of Santa’s Own.
Its called their “Nature’s Own tree, a handmade, precise replica of the popular Frazier Fir, the nation’s most sought after tree at Christmas. From the deliberate random positioning of its branches to the reinforced tips of its deep-set needles to handle even heavy ornaments, nothing has been left to chance. And, while the price tag is hefty, permanent trees last a long time. Up to 20 years, in many instances. “What’s more, their beauty and their ease of assembly make for a very worthwhile investment,” says Mr. Love. “I feel this tree will prove revolutionary in the marketplace.”
Santa’s Own this year also offers The Growing Tree, where you can adjust the height of the tree from seven to nine to even 10 feet high by simply adding more parts. It’s perfect for those who want a new look or plan to switch the tree to a room with higher ceilings.
Unlike the live tree, there’s no tromping through snow-covered fields to find the right one. No messy trip home in the car as the ice melts off the tree and onto your car’s seats and carpeting. No need to water them to keep them fresh. No need to clean off the dirt or spray for insects. There’s also no need to keep turning the tree for the best view, as good permanent trees look great from every angle. And Santa’s Own trees come pre-lighted, so there’s not the hassle of stringing light cords.
“The technology behind high-end Christmas trees has certainly advanced in recent years,” says Mr. Love. “Many of the myths surrounding permanent trees have been exploded. The question has become, instead of ‘Why would you have an artificial tree?” to “Why wouldn’t you?’ ”

The experts at Santa’s Own enjoy busting myths about permanent trees and offer these factual responses to decades-old misconceptions.
For instance:
Most people still prefer a live tree. False. According to a recent Neilson poll,
more than 80 percent of American households with Christmas trees now have an artificial one.
Artificial trees are harmful to the environment. No. Studies have concluded there is no significant environmental impact from the use of either an artificial, or a real Christmas tree.
Artificial Christmas trees don’t smell as nice. Perhaps. But did you know that along with that fresh tree smell comes almost 10 times the amount of mold routinely found indoors? No small matter to those who suffer from allergies. You can get the same scent from using sprays or scented ornaments on your permanent tree.
Do your own research and include a visit to Santa’s Own website at www.santasown.com for more information.

And, regardless of which type of Christmas tree you decide upon, Happy Holidays from the folks at Santa’s Own.

Outsourcing Barrie Transit alarms Amalgamated Transit Union

 – The Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1415 is questioning whether outsourcing one of their units, Barrie Transit, is a long term viable solution for the problems faced by transit users and taxpayers in Barrie. The union would like politicians to address this question before the October 2014 elections.

The main concern with the outsourcing of Barrie Transit is the potential negative effects it will have on the transit users and taxpayers of Barrie who need a dependable and affordable transit system. Recent reports indicate that Barrie Transit ridership has dropped 8% from August 2013 to July of 2014 while costing the City 10% more to operate.

The City of Barrie is currently going ahead with an outsourcing model tied to a Public Private Partnership to build a new transit garage and to grant a long term contract to the P3 partner to manage city transit operations for the next twenty years.

Public Private Partnerships or P3 have been described in a video produced by ATU Local 113 in Toronto as designed to change the values and processes of demographic governments. Transit users and taxpayers in Barrie need to know that the agenda behind P3’s are fundamentally secretive, unaccountable and more often than not, extremely risky.

Moe Al-Khafajy, President of ATU Local 1415 said that outsourcing comes with a promise to save government money however what the public doesn’t know is that outsourcing usually ends up being much more expensive than in-house services for governments.
“It only leads to negative consequences,” said Al-Khafajy “The goal for outsourcing is for private companies to maximize profits, however, and this often means cutting corners to reduce costs – therefore, this will harm the quality of service and maintenance.”

The Amalgamated Transit Union is concerned about the long term consequences of outsourcing of transit operations and the effect that will have on transit users, taxpayers and on their drivers. Outsourcing leads to reductions in service, longer wait times for transit services, route consolidation and cutbacks. In addition there are safety concerns as part of the private companies’ cutbacks, drivers are being forced to work longer hours which threatens the safety of all passengers.

ATU is calling everyone to join their campaign to raise the question of the long term viability of continued outsourcing of Barrie Transit operations. Service reliability and the safety of Barrie transit users is a priority so let us all work together to build a safe, reliable and cost effective transit solution for the City of Barrie.
About The Amalgamated Transit Union – Founded in 1892, the ATU is comprised of over 190,000 members, including: metropolitan, interstate and school bus drivers; paratransit, light rail, subway, streetcar, and ferry boat operators; mechanics and other maintenance workers; clerks, baggage handlers, municipal employees and others.

1/4 cup Swanson Macadamia Nut Oil

1/4 cup NOW Foods Organic Maple Syrup

Organic apple juice, as needed

Preheat oven to 350° degrees.

In large bowl, combine flour, oats, walnuts, and salt. In separate bowl, whisk together oil and syrup. Pour wet ingredients over dry ingredients, add raisins and mix until blended (you want the dough to be moist enough to just stick together.)
