Local BuzzTEACHER OF THE MONTH: MR. ANDERSON

Mr. Anderson has been a teacher at Bonners Ferry High School for 27 years! He enjoys Kaya-king the lakes and Rivers of

Boundary County when he’s not teaching his students.

Chay Kittel, Austin Lethrud and Carly Haworth had many positive things to say about Mr. Anderson. They actually look forward to going to his class everyday. Some things the students enjoy about him are his facial expressions, energy, how he lets them express themselves, how he cares and how he is just brilliant!

“I am nothing without my students” —Mr. Anderson

They look so pretty on a tree! There are many fun, easy ways to make them! You can cut circles out of Christmas cards, construction paper, or magazines and stick them to string with stickers

or tape. You can even use those pesky address labels that come in the mail! Stringing buttons is always fun. Waxed dental floss is great for this because it’s easy to poke through the holes. Be sure to tie them or go through two holes to keep space between the buttons. Felt scraps and beads strung on yarn also make a nice garland. And, of course, popcorn and cranberries. Remember to always use caution with young children around scissors and choking hazards. Crafts are a great way to bring the family together!

As you know, the holiday season can be joy-ous, hectic, celebratory — and expensive. And while you certainly enjoy hosting family gatherings and giving presents to your loved

ones, you’ll find these things even more pleasur-able if they don’t add a lot more weight to your debt load. And that’s why you’ll want to follow some smart money-management techniques over the next few weeks. To begin with, try to establish realistic budgets for both your entertaining and your gift giving. When you host family and friends, don’t go overboard on your expenditures. Your guests will still appreciate your efforts, which, with a little creativity, can create a welcoming and fun experience for everyone. As a guiding principal, keep in mind these words attrib-uted to Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, the famous German poet and philosopher: “What you can do without, do without.” Set a budget and stick to it. And the same rule applies to your gifting. You don’t need to find the most expensive presents, or over-whelm recipients with the sheer volume of your gifts. This is especially true if you, like so many people, have been affected by the tough economy. Everyone you know will understand that gifts don’t have to be lavish to be meaningful. Furthermore, by sticking to a budget, you won’t be tempted to dip into your long-term investments to pay for fabulous parties or mountains of gifts. It’s never a good idea to tap long-term investments for short-term needs, but can be especially bad when your investment prices are down, as they may well be this year.

So, if you want to stick to a budget but you don’t want to raid your investments, how can you pay for your holiday season expenses? If you can spread out your purchases, you may be able to pay for them from your normal cash flow. But if that’s not possible, you might want to consider “plastic” — your credit card. Using your credit card does not, by itself, need to amount to a financial setback, especially if you’ve chosen a card that offers favorable terms and you’ve already shown the discipline not to over-use that card. Just try to minimize your credit card usage over the holidays and pay off your card as soon as you can.

Of course, you can make your holiday season much easier, financially speaking, if you’ve set up a holiday fund to cover your various expenses. While it’s too late to set up such a fund this year, why not get an early start on the 2012 holiday season? All you need to do is put away some money each month into an easily accessible account, separate from your every-day accounts. You don’t have to put in a great deal, but you do need to be consistent, which is why you may want to have the money moved automatically, once a month, from your checking or savings account to your holiday fund. When next year’s holiday sea-son rolls around, you might be pleasantly surprised by how much you’ve accumulated.

But for now, following some common-sense money management practices can help you get through the holiday season in financial shape — and that type of result can get your new year off to a positive start.
