‘True meaning of Christmas’
This is a letter of thanks and recognition. Saturday, “Shop With a Hero” day was held at Walmart. I was personally touched to see all of the firefighters, EMTs, police officers (and a police dog) and service men and women taking young children through the store to buy presents for family members. Seeing all the happy young faces brought tears to my eyes and I knew that I had to say this.

 Cookies with bright colors, as stars, reindeer and trees smeared with icing or sprinkled with sugar and candies, are a staple of holidays. We make them for our families, co-workers, friends, neighbors and even the mail carrier.
A basic sugar or butter cookie recipe is easy to make in large batches. But the real fun comes from cutting them into fun shapes, making them festive colors and adding decorations to create unique cookies.
To inject local ingredients into your holiday cookies, look no further than Rumiano’s for butter and Harvest Natural Foods, which supplies eggs from Alexandre Farms in Fort Dick and My Honey’s Produce in Smith River, which also produce local honey.

After 30 years, Continental Bakery closes
 Jedidiah Smith takes doughnuts from the racks to replenish the display case. Del Norte Triplicate/Bryant Anderson A doughnut containing blood, sweat and tears might not sound all that appetizing. But at Continental Bakery, these seem to have been the secret ingredients. While it’s only open to customers during eight-hour shifts, Continental is a working business more like 20 hours of the day, run by a married couple and a very small, dedicated staff.
The bakery is closing for good on Saturday, though owners Brandon and April Martin hope to start a new dine-in restaurant in the space by springtime.
“Basically the bakery sucks up your whole life. It’s all we do. It’s all we talk about, especially when it’s struggling like it’s been,” April said.
