Maria Lee wrote:I would like to nominate Nate and Melissa Pitcher for being great neighbors. When I was in the hospital last year, they brought my family dinner; when my husband was in the hospital for 4 days this Fall, they again brought us dinner and also watched our 3 kids so I could visit him. They have bent over backwards so many times for us in various ways, and are deserving of a great neighbor award.

Nate and Melissa Pitcher Nominated by Maria Lee

Melissa Pitcher:"Thanks so much- I am speechless. Maria is so sweet to do this. My family and I moved to Meridian Ranch 1 1/2 years ago. We have lived in the Springs for 12 years and finally made the move out east. We love it here. We love the community-feel and love having kids around for our kids to have friends that they see at school, at church, in the parks and other community activities. We didn't have this in our old neighborhood. Its been a wonderful move for our

family. We also like being close to the city, yet away from all the bustle. Our family consists of my husband Nathan, myself and our 4 children; Kaden, 10, Aaron, 9, Talia, 6 and Tyson, 3. We feel blessed to live on our street. We have so many amazing neighbors that have made our move very easy, especially since we lived so long in one place. It's hard to start over, but having friendly neighbors and a friendly community makes it easy to feel at home."

Poinsettia Care TipsWith proper care, your poinsettia plant can last long past the holiday season. Begin by choosing a plant with small, tightly clustered buds in the center. The foliage should be crisp, bright, and undamaged. When bringing your poinsettia home, plan on going straight there, in order to prevent the plant from remaining in your car for a long period of time. To transport your poinsettia from the store to your car, wrap it carefully to protect from any wind, and unwrap it as soon as you arrive home.Poinsettia plants should be watered when the surface soil is dry to the touch. Water until water flows from the drain holes. Any excess water in the drainage saucer should be discarded. To maintain color in the leaves, your poinsettia should be kept close to 60 degrees at night and 70 degrees during the day. These plants also enjoy an environment of high humidity and daily bright, indirect light exposure. If your home is very dry, mist your poinsettia daily. Also remember to keep your plant out of drafts, especially cold winds coming from outdoors or hot air from heater vents.Your poinsettia can be encouraged to rebloom next year by following some simple steps. Once the flowers have faded, cut the stems back to about eight inches above the soil line. Continue to water regularly and lightly fertilize once a month. As outdoor temperatures begin to rise, your plant can be placed outdoors. Gradually move your poinsettia from indirect to direct sunlight over several days. In the middle of the summer, you will need to cut back any new growth stems and repot your plant if it has grown substantially. During September, move your plant back indoors, but still provide for six or more hours of direct sunlight each day. Beginning in October, place your plant into complete darkness for fourteen hours each day, allowing it ten hours of natural light each day. This process, which takes about ten weeks to complete, will allow your plant to reflower and turn red again.

Be heart-healthy and back-friendly while shoveling this

winter with these tips:• If you are inactive and have a history of heart trouble, talk to your doctor before you begin shoveling.

• Avoid caffeine or nicotine before beginning the job. These are stimulants, which may increase your heart rate and cause your blood vessels to constrict. This places extra stress on the heart.• Drink plenty of water. Dehydration is just as big an issue in cold winter months as in the summer.• Dress in several layers, so you can remove a layer as needed.• Warm up your muscles before shoveling by walking for a few minutes or marching in place. Stretch the muscles in the arms and legs, because warm muscles will work more efficiently and be less likely to be injured.• Pick the right shovel for you. A smaller blade will require you to lift less snow, putting less strain on your body.• Protect your back from injury by lifting correctly.• Stand with your feet about hip-width for balance, and keep the shovel close to your body. Bend from the knees (not the back) and tighten your stomach muscles as you lift the snow. If you need to move the snow to one side, reposition your feet to face the direction the snow will be going.• Most importantly - listen to your body. Stop if you feel pain!
