Holiday Campaign in the towns and cities of the Seacoast. Kicking off with Plaid Friday, November 28 - a local economy alternative to big box store Black Friday- and continuing through December 31, Seacoast Local encourages the community to choose local and Independent businesses for their holiday purchases. Making the shift to local independents is one of the fastest ways to build strong local economies and create jobs in our community.

Plaid Friday and Shift Your Shopping for the Holidays cam-paign is a collaboration with na-

tional local economy leaders The American Independent Business Alliance, the Business Alliance for Local Living Economies, The Institute for Local Self-Reliance and 150 local business organiza-tions representing over 40,000 locally owned and independent businesses across North America. “Plaid” Friday represents the individual threads of local busi-nesses and community organiza-tions that together, weave a strong fabric that celebrates the diversity and creativity of our community. Plaid Friday is a day to celebrate just that!

David Boynton, owner of recently opened 7th Settlement Brewery in Dover, and former director of Seacoast Local says, “Plaid Friday is an awareness campaign that says we value cel-ebrating the independently owned businesses that make the Seacoast unique. It’s an alternative to black friday… in fact, it’s a rejection of the idea that you have to get up at four in the morning to fight your way through a mall crowd to find a gift... a situation that represents the opposite of what the holiday season of giving is all about.”

Independent businesses

around the Seacoast will be of-fering special deals, giveaways, photo contests and more on Plaid Friday, some especially to those wearing plaid! So, don a plaid sweater and get ready to shop local. Supporters can document their adventures during Plaid Friday with the #PlaidFridaySea-coast hashtag and participate in the local festivities in every town around the Seacoast during this first Shift Your Shopping event.

ROCHESTER – The Frisbie Memorial Hos-

pital Auxiliary is pleased to an-nounce its 28th Annual “Lights of Love” Ceremony to take place on Wednesday, December 3, at 4:30 p.m. The Ceremony will be held at the Frisbie Memorial Hospital Community Education & Confer-ence Center next to the hospital.

Jane Cooper Fall, Chair of “Lights of Love” and Auxilian, shares these comments with us, “This is one of Rochester’s an-ticipated holiday traditions where people gather for a special time of remembrance, honoring their loved ones in a unique and heart-warming way. Each year it is the Auxiliary’s pleasure to invite the community to participate in

this joyous holiday event. Our program includes refreshments, Christmas carols and our Lighting Ceremony.”

To reserve your “Love Lights”, a brochure may be picked up at the hospital information desk on the ground floor. A $5 dona-tion is suggested for each “Love Light”. Each “Love Light” on the Christmas tree will memorialize or honor the donor’s loved one(s). Special announcement cards will be mailed to whomever the donor designates. Checks are payable to FMH Auxiliary. There is no limit on the amount of the dona-tion or the number of people one may honor. Note: All who partici-pated in last year’s Lights of Love Program, will have received a bro-

chure in the mail by the time of this publication. Others who may be interested, can get a brochure mailed to them by calling 603-330-8979, or emailing [email protected], or one may be picked up at Frisbie Hospital, front entrance.

Strands of lights will be placed on the Lights of Love Tree on the front lawn of the Frisbie Conference Center in memory of former hospital volunteers, Jackie Anctil, Carol Brown, Florence Morrison, Jeanette Shaw and former Auxilian, June Tilton.

DOVER -Veterans from the Seacoast area converged on Maple Suites Senior

Independent Living in Dover for a special veterans luncheon earlier in November. The luncheon was a way to thank local veterans for their service to their country. More than three-dozen veterans from World War II, Korea, Vietnam and Iraq/Kuwait live at Maple Suites and an additional dozen veterans and their spouses attended the luncheon. Two former POW’s and two Purple Heart recipients also attended.

DOVER -In anticipation of a busy

holiday season for downtown Dover businesses, the City of Dover will provide complimen-tary valet parking service for users of the Orchard Street park-ing lot each Friday and Saturday starting on Nov. 21. The program will last five weeks, concluding on Saturday, Dec. 20. Visitors to any downtown business, includ-ing bars, restaurants and stores, are welcome to enjoy this free service.

Atlantic Parking Services will have valets stationed in the loading area on Orchard Street, in front of the Orchard Street Chop Shop and The Brick House,

from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. each night. There is no cost to motorists. Tip-ping valet drivers is optional.

“Valet parking expands the capacity of the downtown park-ing system on nights we antici-pate an increase in visitors”, said City of Dover Parking Manager Bill Simons.

This complimentary valet service is the part of the “Get to It!” initiative, which aims to keep visitors informed about available parking throughout the down-town during the construction of a new police station and public parking garage on Orchard Street.

“The holidays are a busy time for our downtown mer-

parties. Float rules and appli-cation forms are available on the Rollinsford/South Berwick Annual Christmas Parade Face-book page. Another year of spec-tacular creations is expected.

Again this year the South Berwick Fire department will be collecting unwrapped toys for local needy children. Your dona-tions will be very much appreci-ated.

No holiday parade would be complete without Santa making an appearance. This year, he will park his sleigh and reindeer and will hitch a ride on a fire engine supplied by the South Berwick Fire Department.

Anticipated participants in-clude local Boy and Girl Scouts, the Marshwood High School Marching Band, and numerous local organizations with floats, trucks, equipment, and march-ers of all ages. The Strawberry Festival Committee will be serv-ing hot cider on the lawn of the South Berwick Town Hall.

chants,” said City Manager J. Mi-chael Joyal Jr. “We want to make sure visitors know ample parking is available and that businesses are easily accessible during devel-opment activity in our thriving downtown,” said City Manager J. Michael Joyal Jr.

During the construction of the new police facility and park-ing garage, which is expected to conclude in November 2015, residents and visitors can stay up-to-date on downtown parking op-tions and traffic flow by visiting www.drivingdover.com.

Get ready to cuddle up with a free trolley ride through red-bricked Market Square, stroll through the snow-flakes to the many eclectic shops, step back in time to welcome “The Winter Visitor” through 300 years of living history at the festively dec-orated Strawbery Banke Museum Candlelight Stroll, sample Ports-mouth’s famous culinary special-ties, or enjoy a first-class show at

The Music Hall. Back by popular demand - the free Vintage Christ-mas Trolley shuttles patrons around the historic seaport each Saturday and Sunday afternoon and evening for the first three weekends in December.

Puddle Dock Pond at Straw-bery Banke debuts as the seasonal outdoor ice skating rink at the heart of the 10-acre living his-tory museum site. In the spirit of Portsmouth’s rich performing arts culture, Puddle Dock Pond will host costumed “Currier & Ives” skaters on the ice during Stroll and a special artistic ice dancing performance on the afternoon of New Year’s Eve.

A free calendar/map is avail-able. For more details, visit www.vintagechristmasnh.org.

Artist of the Month NamedHAMPTON -

The Hampton Arts Network November Artist of the month is Wayne Griffith. Griffith attended Wentworth Institute in Boston to study Architectural drafting. He paints with watercolors and favorite subjects are seashore, barns and likes the Winslow Homer style of painting. Last year Wayne was able to display his paintings at Hom-er’s summer house in Belmont, Ma. Griffith’s show will run until De-cember 5 at 100 Winnacunnet Road, Hampton. Pictured is Griffith’s “Mystic Seaport”. For details, visit www.hamptonartsnetwork.org.

PORTSMOUTH -The New Hampshire Art

Association (NHAA) is cel-ebrating the holidays with a member exhibit on view at the Robert Lincoln Levy Gallery for the month of December. All pieces in this exhibit are offered for under $300. The event opens with a reception on Friday, Dec. 5, 5 to 9 p.m. in conjunction with Art Around Town. To continue the festivities the Gallery will host receptions every Friday eve-ning for the month of Dec., from

5 to 9 p.m. Light refreshments will be offered at each reception.

In addition there will be a silent auction of an original piece of art by NHAA artist member Barbara Adams. All are welcome to come place a bid throughout the month of De-cember. All events are free and open to the public. The Robert Lincoln Levy Gallery is located at 136 State St, Portsmouth. For details, call 603-431-4230 or email [email protected].

PORTSMOUTH -New Hampshire Theatre

Project’s Youth Repertory Com-pany will present two mid-semes-ter Scene Study performances on Friday & Saturday, December 5 and 6, at 7 p.m. Admission is free, but reservations are highly recommended and donations are cheerfully accepted.

Now celebrating its 16th anniversary, the NHTP Youth Repertory Company, located at 959 Islington Street Portsmouth, NH, is a pre-professional drama experience for students ages 10-17 who have a serious commitment to the theatre arts. Participants focus on acting techniques during

the fall semester, in preparation for spring productions. Scenes and monologues from classic and modern literature will be featured this December.

The Senior Youth Reper-tory Company will be presenting Eugene Ionesco’s “Rhinoceros” in May 2015. Their December scenes will focus on a variety of absurdist material, including scenes by Tom Stoppard, Harold Pinter, Samuel Beckett, and Io-nesco. “It’s easy to think of ab-surdist theatre as being so playful it doesn’t need much technique,” says director Robin Fowler. “But the exact opposite is true. Mas-tery of the form requires shifting

styles at the drop of a hat, playing multiple characters, and becom-ing fluent in fast-paced rhythmi-cally specific dialogue.”

Under the direction of Meghann Beauchamp, the Junior Youth Repertory Company will present an original version of “Galileo” by Michael Megliola in April 2015. Junior Company scenes will focus on more tradi-tional classics, including “The Diary of Anne Frank,” “Peter Pan,” “A Christmas Carol,” “Les Miserables,” and “Shakepseare.”

For information and reser-vations, call 603-431-6644 ext.5 or email: [email protected].

DOVER -Sometimes the best way to

move forward is by first retreat-ing. In early October, St. Thomas Aquinas’ sophomore class encir-cled themselves in a day of self-re-flection and awareness. Gathered together at Our Lady of the Holy Rosary Church in Rochester, the class participated in a retreat that helped them identify and articu-late their own “extraordinariness”.

Teenage years are notorious-ly known for being a period of self-criticism. Mirrors and “selfies”

have the power to distract adoles-cents from their real beauty- that which shines from the inside out. With this in mind, Campus Min-ister Shawn Gregory began the retreat with some exercises that encouraged students to recognize their own uniqueness.

In the afternoon, the sopho-mores listened to special presenter Fabian Debora from Homeboy Industries (www.homeboyin-dustries.org/) who spoke about his life. Born in El Paso, TX and raised in Boyle Heights, CA, Deb-

ora’s life story is one punctuated by drug addiction, gang violence and trauma.

As a child of domestic violence, Debora continuously sought three main signs of vali-dation: acknowledgement, recog-nition and worth. When he was continuously denied these affir-mations, he turned to drawing and art as a coping mechanism. “During times of turmoil,” he said, “I would hide under the table with my notebook, pencils, cray-ons, whatever I could get a hold of, and I would create my own

worlds. That’s when I found out that my gift of art gave me mean-ing and self-worth.”

As an adult, Debora’s art-work helped him survive and recover. He shared examples of his artwork with students and discussed how he uses religion to break down stereotypes about gang members and illustrate the important role that culture plays in one’s community.

Sophomores were not the only ones who benefitted from Debora’s talk. Recognizing an opportune teachable moment to blend classroom learning with Fabian Debora of Homeboy Indus-

tries spoke to STA Students About Real Life Challenges

As 2014 draws to a close, you may want to

look back on the progress you’ve made this past year in various areas of your life — and that certainly includes progress toward your financial goals. At the same time, you may want to make some end-of-year moves that can close out 2014 on a positive note while paving the way for a productive 2015.

Here are a few such moves to consider:

Boost your retirement plan contributions.

This actually isn’t an “end-of-year” move because you have until April 15, 2015, to contribute to your Roth or Tra-ditional IRA for the 2014 tax year. Nonetheless, the sooner you get extra dollars working for you in your IRA, the better. You can put in up to $5,500 to your IRA (or $6,500 if you’re 50 or older) for 2014. If you are self-employed, or run a small busi-ness, you also have until April 15 to contribute to a retirement account, such as a SEP IRA or a SIMPLE plan. In addition to helping you build resources for retirement, these types of plans can offer you some tax

advantages — so if you haven’t established a retirement plan yet, consult with your financial and tax professionals

Sell your “losers.” If you own investments that

have lost value since you pur-chased them, you can sell them before 2014 ends and use the tax loss to offset some capital gains you may have earned in other in-vestments. If you don’t have any capital gains, you can use up to $3,000 of your tax losses to offset other ordinary income. And for a loss greater than $3,000, you can “carry over” the excess

and deduct it from your taxes in future years. If you still liked the investment that you sold at a loss, and you want to keep it in your portfolio, you could repurchase it, but you’ll have to wait 31 days to avoid violating the IRS’ “wash sale” rules. Keep in mind that these suggestions only apply to investments held outside your employer-sponsored retirement account; you can’t take a tax deduction on capital losses in a 401(k) or similar plan.

Evaluate your 401(k) investment mix.

You may be able to adjust

the investment mix in your 401(k) as often as you like. So when evaluating your 401(k), make sure your holdings aren’t concen-trated in just a few investments, and try to determine if your port-folio is still appropriate for your risk tolerance — not too aggres-sive or too conservative. Also, if your plan offers a “Roth” option, consider taking advantage of it — with a Roth, you won’t be able to deduct your 401(k) contributions from your taxes, but once you retire, you won’t be taxed on your withdrawals.

Review your insurance coverage.

If you’ve experienced any changes in your life in 2014 — new spouse, new child, divorce, new job, etc. — you may need to

review your life insur-ance coverage to make sure that it’s still sufficient for your needs and that you have the correct beneficiaries in place.

By making these and other moves, you can say a fond farewell to 2014, knowing that you’ve done what you could to help bolster your financial posi-tion — for 2015 and beyond.

...DEBORA from page 4

“real life” learning, St. Thomas Aquinas brought Debora to campus to speak to the senior class as well. What is the connec-tion? Debora’s greatest mentor, Fr. Gregory Boyle, is an American Jesuit priest and the founder and Director of Homeboy Industries. In 2010, Father Boyle published his recollections of two decades living in the barrio in the well-known book, ‘Tattoos on the Heart: The Power of Boundless Compassion’. St. Thomas Aqui-nas’ senior class is currently read-

ing this book of essays. Thus, STA seniors enjoyed an assembly with Debora and a rare opportunity to connect their classroom reading with the subject of that reading.

Fabian Debora now serves as an addiction counselor for Homeboy Industries. Homeboy Industries helps formerly gang involved and the previously incar-cerated, to redirect their lives and become contributing members of their families and communities. For details, visit www.homeboy-industries.org.

ROCHESTER – Frisbie Memorial Hospital

is pleased to announce that its in-school dental program, Frisbie Smiles, was recently awarded a $5,000 grant from TD Chari-table Foundation, which is the charitable giving arm of TD Bank, as part of the Founda-tion’s ongoing commitment to support local, community-based initiatives.

The Frisbie Smiles In-School Dental Program’s staff includes a dental hygienist and clinical assistants who provide preventive dental care, such as dental hygiene check-ups and dental education, to children

NEWMARKET -Julie Reynolds, CEO

of Cornerstone VNA has an-nounced Andrea Patrick-Bau-det RN, CHPN, CHPCA as Director of the Hospice Pro-gram. Patrick-Baudet brings with her a wealth of hospice care experience having served in a variety of leadership po-sitions in hospice during her career. Her experience in-cludes Hospice Director of Nursing at Concord Regional Visiting Nurse Association in Concord, Director of Clini-cal Operations at SolAmor Hospice in Middleton, MA, Director of Nursing at New England Life Care in Con-cord, and Director of Clinical Operations for Seacoast Hos-pice in Exeter.

In her role as Hospice Director, Patrick-Baudet will be responsible for providing the leadership for the overall management of the hospice program to ensure that pa-tients and their families re-ceive trusted, compassionate and expert care utilizing the most current technology and

ROCHESTER -The New Hampshire De-

partment of Health and Human Services has once again awarded The Homemakers Health Servic-es a one year $901,662 contract to continue to provide home health, home support and adult day care services to older and disabled adults in Strafford County and surrounding areas.

While the dollar amount awarded through the contract is similar to amounts received by The Homemakers in past years, the contract itself does reflect some differences in the way ser-vices will be delivered.

“The majority of the con-tract, $773,291 has been awarded to provide In-Home Care Ser-vices though Title XX, a fund-ing source for low income elderly and/or disabled adults,” says Linda Howard chief care coor-dinator at The Homemakers. “In the past, these monies have been used to provide home support services – both homemakers and in-home care provider services. Through this new contract, these two services will be combined as

(grades 1 through 3) in 14 ele-mentary schools located in six communities within the Great-er Rochester area. Since 1999, Frisbie Smiles has continued to expand its reach in an effort to help meet families’ increasing dental health needs.

TD Bank and TD Chari-table Foundation provide sup-port to affordable housing, fi-nancial literacy and education, and environmental initiatives, many of which focus on im-proving the welfare of children and families. For more infor-mation about Frisbie Smiles, contact Judy Ouellette at (603) 330-7909.

practices.“We are most fortunate

to have Andrea Patrick-Baudet lead our hospice team,” states Julie Reynolds, CEO. “She is profoundly committed to the hospice philosophy and dedi-cated to improving the quality of life for patients with a life-limiting illness.”

Patrick-Baudet earned her Bachelor of Arts degree from UNH and her degree in Nurs-ing from the NH Community Technical College graduating cum laude. She is certified as a Hospice and Palliative Care

Nurse (CHPN) and Hospice and Palliative Care Adminis-trator (CHPCA). She currently resides in Newmarket with her husband and two children.

Hospice is a holistic ap-proach to caring for people who have a life limiting illness. It involves a team of trained spe-cialists available 24 hours a day who provides medical care, pain and symptom management along with emotional and spiri-tual support tailored to an indi-vidual’s needs and wishes. It is a concept of care that can be pro-vided anywhere that a patient calls home such as a private res-idence, nursing home, assisted living or hospital. The goal is to provide physical, emotional and spiritual support to the patient as well as support to the family and caregivers.

Certified specialty pro-grams include wound and ostomy care, diabetes manage-ment and education, mental health nursing, intravenous therapy, chronic care manage-ment, hospice and palliative care, pain management and a maternal wellness program.

Cornerstone VNA is a non-profit home, health and hospice agency currently serving Rock-ingham, Strafford, Belknap and Carroll Counties in NH and York County in Maine.

In-Home Care Services. In addi-tion, due to regulatory changes contained in this contract, all case management services, with the exception of those people receiving services under a ‘pro-tection’ funding source, will be provided by The Homemakers Health Services.”

What does this mean to per-sons receiving services through this funding source?

According to Howard, for more than 40 years, The Home-makers Health Services has been providing case manage-ment services to clients receiving homemaker (light housekeeping, laundry, shopping, meal prepa-ration), as well as nursing, and adult day care services. In the past, however, those persons re-ceiving in-home care provider (companionship & safety over-sight) services through Title XX funding sources were assigned a social worker from the Bureau of Elderly and Adult Services (BEAS) who provided case man-agement services.

“Now, instead of a BEAS social worker, one of our Home

Support Care Coordinators at The Homemakers Health Ser-vices will be assigned to clients receiving In-Home Care ser-vices through this particular State funding source,” explains Howard. “With the excep-tion of those clients receiving services under a ‘protection’ category, our Home Support Care Coordinators will be re-sponsible for assessing clients’ needs, answering all questions in regard to their in-home care services and providing case management services.”

In addition to receiving contract funds for In Home Care Services, The Homemak-ers has also been awarded Title XX, and Title III monies to provide adult day care, home health aide and nursing ser-vices to persons who meet the eligibility guidelines.

Funds for this contract were provided in part by the State of New Hampshire and/or other funding sources as were available or required, e.g., the United States Department of Health and Human Services.

DOVER -It is not often that one re-

ceives a gift in the form of time and presence. St. Thomas Aqui-nas, however, has received just such a gift over the past four years by having Kyra Sarazen as a member of their school.

Recently, senior Sara-zen announced her decision to attend the University of Notre Dame next year on an athletic scholarship. A highly skilled swimmer who competes for Dover’s Seacoast Swimming Association, Sarazen has made a splash not only for her strong strokes but also for her outstand-ing academic achievement.

Initially joining a swim team at the age of seven, Kyra

quickly took to participating as part of a group. Despite her abil-

ity and aptitude for swimming, Sarazen admits that it wasn’t

credits her parents for helping her to swim upstream against a potential rip current of fatigue and pressure. She was able to maintain her focus and her self-vision which in turn allowed her to pursue her dream.

Finding an appropriate bal-ance between her academics and her swimming has been chal-lenging at times. Both require diligent mental training and both require time and commit-ment. Allotting the appropriate attention to succeed in both is a valuable skill that Sarazen plans to carry with her to Notre Dame. “I have come to rely on an inten-sity with my swimming,” Kyra states. “I know that I need focus, determination and a desire to do well in order to achieve my per-sonal and long-term goals.”

~ Ask The Computer Lady ~Dear Computer Lady,

I just got an email from UPS stating that I was not avail-able when they attempted to de-liver a package, and a second at-tempt will be made to deliver the package on the next business day. That’s nice, but I never ordered anything. There is a tracking number and a shipment detail link that I can click on, but I am a little nervous to click and see what is being shipped. Do you think this is a scam? Nancy

Dear Nancy,I am 99.9% sure that it is a

scam. Please don’t click on any-thing in that email! It is probably malware of some sort. In fact, it could be a very malicious piece of malware that encrypts all your files (locks them up so you can’t access them) and then demands a ransom of $300 or more to unlock them for you. My advice to you, or anyone reading this is to never click on a link or open an attachment in an email that you are not expecting. Elizabeth

Dear Computer Lady,My computer is XP but

over 12 years old and a bit slow 17 inch laptop used like desktop in several places without a bat-tery installed. What are your best advice for a choice of a cur-rent operating system in choos-ing my new computer very soon. Would you recommend a apple over ibm computer today? I use a nook tablet and have a samsung note 2 smart phone this past year. Thanks, Mel

Dear Mel,Since you are upgrad-

ing from a Windows operating system, and you own android de-vices, I would not advise that you switch to an apple computer in-stead of another Windows oper-

ating system. The Mac computer is a completely different type of computer, and your current soft-ware programs will probably not work on a Mac. Right now, the only Windows operating system readily available is Windows 8. I am using Windows 8 on my com-puter here in the office, and I find that it is a great operating system. Many people are frustrated by the new start screen instead of a pop- up start menu, but that is easy to fix with a 3rd party program, that is either low cost or free of charge. My favorite one at the moment is classic shell at www.classicshell.net.

Other than the new way of navigating, there are very few complaints from my customers about Windows 8. You definite-ly don’t want to keep using XP. Now that Microsoft is no longer providing security updates for XP, your computer will still run, but it will become increasingly more vulnerable to hackers and viruses. You don’t want your computer to become infected and then used to attack whatever target the criminals behind the malware have in mind. Elizabeth

Dear Computer Lady,I am starting up a home-

based business and need to fine an inexpensive [free is good] online contact manager soft-ware. All I need are the basics of contact management including quick contact entry and retrieval, a to-do list, that could possibly link to something like Gmail [this criteria is not really neces-sary]. For very many years I have been enjoying and learning a lot from your site. Thanks, Stew

Dear Stew,Since you mentioned

Gmail, I thought why not use

Gmail contacts as your contact manager, and Gmail Tasks for your tasks. To access your con-tacts in Gmail, look in the upper-left corner of your Gmail page. Just under the word, Google, you will see, “Gmail” with a down arrow. Click on the down arrow, and from the drop down list, click on, “Contacts”.While viewing your Contacts list, you can click on “New Contact” and fill out the information for you contact. You can also double click on any con-tact in your list to add or change information for the contact. You can create groups and assign a contact to one or more groups. Once you have your contacts set up, you can move on to Tasks. To access your tasks list, click on the word, “Gmail” just like you did to access your contacts. Click on the word, “Tasks” in the drop down list. This time, instead of displaying a new window, a small, tasks list will be displayed in the lower-right corner of your page. Click the Plus symbol to type in a new task, and click on each task to mark it as finished when done. I hope this helps you with your new business! Elizabeth

Dear Computer Lady,Please help me, I’ve got a

major problem I just can’t seem to solve on my own. I used to have Yahoo for my e-mail. At no time did I ever give them permission to become my home page. I decided to part ways with Yahoo com-pletely so I canceled my e-mail account and I thought that would be the end of it. I finally upgraded from dial-up Internet to Broad-band and shortly afterwards I noticed that whenever I went online not only did the home page from my provider load but Yahoo home page also loaded on a second tab so it takes twice

as long and I can’t stop it from happening. I went to the Control Panel and to Add/Remove pro-grams and removed everything that was associated with Yahoo but it hasn’t stopped the page from loading. I can’t click on the tab and go on the site to get help because my Internet Explorer says they are blocking it because it’s not safe. Please tell me how to get Yahoo off my computer and out of my life once and for all. Thank you, Terri H.

Dear Terri,You were headed in the

right direction when you went to the Control Panel. Just follow the directions below to stop the yahoo tab from loading when you open Internet Explorer.

1. Click on “Start” then on “Control Panel”. 2. In the Con-trol Panel, click on, “Network and Internet” and then click on “Internet Options”. 3. In the In-ternet Options dialog box, make sure the, “General” tab is selected and find the top section entitled, “Home Page”. 4. In the Home page section, you will see a box with several lines in it. Each line

opens a home page tab when you start Internet Explorer. Delete the line for the Yahoo page, and click the “OK” button at the bottom of the dialog box to save your changes and close the window. Now, when you open Internet Explorer, only the home page from your provider will open.Elizabeth
