“The_stockings w ere hung by the chim ney w ith care,” accord­ing to the well-known Christm as poem, “The Night B efore Christm as;’1 But this Christmas; someone in the Chelsea a rea is going, to have a stocking th a t’s just too big to hang.

An 8-foot long C hristm as stocking full of toys and goodies will be aw arded in a drawing at the Chelsea Dollar Store, and eveiyone who signs up is elig i­ble to win.

Simply come to the store any tim e betw een now and Christm as Eve morning, and p u t your nam e in the box. The drawing will take place noon th a t day. :

Shoppers also may get a h ead s ta r t on C hristm as shopping thanks to some incredible bar-^ gains.

- Lovely cloisonne necklaces m ade of h an d -p a in ted in la id enam el will make the perfect gift for the ladies on your list. Men and women will appreci­ate the variety of cell phone accessories, including phone chargers, hands-free e a r ­phones, belt-clips and phone covers in ftm colors.

You’ll find something for kids of all ages on a wall full of toys. For all those battery-run gifts th a t need to be up and running on Christm as morning, check out the rack of EVeready b a tte r­ies.

The best p a rt i s ’every one of these item s is ju s t $1.

The Chelsea Dollar Store is locally owned, and managed by Jill Seitz in partnersh ip with Dan Murphy, who owned the Chelsea Pharm acy for 55 years.

“When we decided to open the Chelsea Dollar Store, th e re was ho store o f th is kind in the en tire ‘Chelsea-Stockbridge- Dexter-M anchester area,” Seitz said. “We could see a need fo r quality m erchandise at- deeply d iscounted prices, sold in <a

- friendly, ihviting setting.”. Many people in the Chelsea area know Seitz from tier years a t the Chelsea Pharmacy: She s ta r ted in re ta il sales and, throughout h e r 40-year career, worked in various capacities, finally serving as bookkeeper for Murphy’s four stores located in C helsea, Stockbridge* M anchester and Qrass Lake.

Now she’s moved back in to retail with h e r role as owner- m anager of the Chelsea D ollar Store. , :

Since the s to re’s grand open­ing in June, the num ber of cus­tom ers has continued to in c rease .,

“Word of mouth is our best -advertising,” Seitz said. “When people cbme in and see the high quality of the m erchandise we

carry, they te ll o thers who becom e new custom ers.”

Every- item in the C helsea D ollar Store really does cost ju s t $1. T his seem s h ard to believe when you see the quali­ty o f products availab le and realize a do llar will buy a bottle of v itam ins o r a h o g of Christm as cards, a p a ir of sun­glasses o r reading glasses, or beautifully m ade tapestry p lace mats, pillow covers and wall hangings.

“We w anted to provide great bargains,” Seitz said, '“b u t felt th a t Chelsea deserved a classy estab lishm ent th a t would offer top-quality goods.

“We like the fact th a t we can o rd e r our m erchandise from a num ber o f suppliers, and pick and choose unique products to get the item s we th ink our cus­tom ers will lo v e”

The store itse lf has the am bi­ence of a m ore, u p sc a le e s ta b ­lishm ent to m atch the quality of goods on the shelves. The space is open and light, well laid out w ith shelves and racks stocked with inviting items. Seitz points out th a t th e warm, friendly staff m em bers greet incoming cus­tom ers and cheerfu lly offer assistance.. As the- holiday season approaches, you’ll want, to shop a t the Chelsea D ollar S tore for gifts for everyone on y o u r list. And be sure to check out the stocking stuffers, party favors, decorations, Christm as lights and ornam ents, as well as w rap­ping p ap er and gift bags.

To help kids with th e ir holi­day shopping, Seitz w ill be scheduling a tim e for children to come by the store and get help selecting gifts, for th e ir parents. Staff m em bers will be available to help them, choose ju s t the right item for mom or dad, or for th e ir o ther relatives and friends, or even th e ir dog or

in any tim e to put together a su b s ta n tia l-b u t- in ex p e n s iv e care package to give to those in need o r send to Am erican so ld iers who a re a t war.

“F o r $10, you can p u t together a really terrific care package,” Seitz said. “Church groups, especially , w ill be in te rested in the variety of items available for the holi­day cafe packages they assem ­ble each year for the needy.”

D epending on who th e rec ip ien t of the package will be, you may buy items such as shaving cream , toothbrushes, adhesive bandages, cologne, razors, and socks. Or you can choose from a line of baby supplies, including tiny socks and shoes, bottles, teeth ing rings, pacifiers and bibs. A line o f Carlyle charm s is sure to deligh t any jewelry lover.

You can p u t together an assortm ent o f tqys, being sure to in c lu d e Disney pencils, no tepads and erasers - items ju s t recently m ade available to upscale do llar stores. If you know a lady who has jo ined the R ed H at Society, you’ll be p leased4o find an assortm ent

of R ed H attitude jew elry and ball point pens. T here tru ly is som ething for everyone.

A lthough th e Chelsea D ollar Store stocks p len ty o f item s for each holiday as it rolls around, th e re a re many o ther items tha t w ill appeal to custom ers throughout the year. , V • ■

F pr those with school spirit, th e re are-item s in school col­ors. F o r creative souls, there a re a variety of craft items, ro lls of lace trim , sewing notions, scissors and scrap ­book tap e runners th a t can be used forw home, school and bu sin ess projects. T here is also a wide selection of cards- for-all-occasions, w hich sell 2 for,$ l.

Som etim es item s are_ requested ,, and o th e r tim es' Seitz th inks of a need th a t m ust b e filled. F o r example, realizing th a t round tables a re used fo r local church bazaars, Seitz decided to stock round tab leclo ths, which som etim es can be difficult to find and a re expensive.

Seitz is constantly search- ing-for new, top-quality items, for th e store.

“I believe Chelsea deserves th e b est,” she "said. “The C helsea D ollar Store w ill always carry m erchandise o f a quality you might find in big­ger re ta il stores. But all our item s eost the custom er only $1. T hat’s a good deal ”

When is the phrase "affordable luxury" not an oxymoron? When it's used to describe Moissanite, the latest product o fa modern-day marriage o f art and science that delivers quality, beauty and value like no other gemstone. This intensely beautiful, seductively brilliant diamond-like jewel is heating up top retail establishments and fly ing out the door on the arms, necks, ftrigers and earlobes o f fashionable, self-purchasing womenaround the world.

What is this incredible near-colorless jewel with nearly 2'htimes more fire than diamond? And why are we;hearing so much about it now? The story o f Moissanite is as romantic as a IW century fa iry tale with a very modem 21s} century twist. .

Born From a Star, for the Star in YouMoissanite is hot a “simulated” diamond or a diamond substitute. Rather, it is a created jewel that was bora from a rare gemological find made over 110 years ago.

Discovered by French Nobel Prize-winner, Dr. Heim Moissan, Moissanite can trace its origins to particles derived from meteora fallen from space. For year?,scientists tried in vain to re­create this rare and

________ extraordinarily brilliantmaterial. Qnfy recently, through the power o f advanced technology at die house o f Charles & Colvard, is this gift from the stars available to you.

The Perfect Combination of A rt & ScienceThe visual characteristics o f Charles & Colvard created. Moissanite make it a unique jewelry category. High dispersion (“fire’O and refractive index 0 ‘brilliance”) inherently give Moissanite more dazzling sparkle than any othfcf gem, including diamond. Yet itVpriced.at only a fraction o f the'cost;Precisely and carefully hand-cut facet patterns maximize M oissanife’s brilliance, which many consumers prefer over.,other gems. “Women tell us they get more compliments on their Moissanite jewelry than on any other pieces they own,” says Robert S, Thomas, CEO and President o f Charles & Colvard; "That's the attraction. Women don’t buy Moissanite instead; they buy it because they love it,’’

Stands the Test .of TimeAs the exclusive worldwide manufacturer and marketer o f created Moissanite jewels, Charles & Colvard reports that Moissanite is extraordinarily heat resistant. As a matter o f fact; tests prove that at 2000*F, the equivalent intensity o f a house fire, M oissanite

■remains intact and as brilliant as the day it was created.Second in hardness only to diamond, Moissanite is also durable and tough. It ‘is extremely resistant to scratching, abrasion, breaking and chipping.Charles & Colvard created Moissanite com es with a Limited Lifetime Warranty that it will never change color, fade or lose its beauty for the lifetime o f the owner. Plus, every gorgeous .jewel comes with a Charles & Colvard Certificate o f Authenticity.

The Ultimate RewardCharles & Colvard created Moissanite offers the value and quality today's women demand - in the big, bold, looks they crave. . By delivering maximum beauty a t . minimum cost, without the emotional acid traditional associations o f diamond, women fee! comfortable choosing Moissanite as the perfect reward for

Savvy, fashionable, discerning women everywhere are naturally, attracted to the magnetic fire o f Moissanite jewelry. Achieving, self-confident women in over 60 countries and territories now wear \his brilliant jewel. But it's the undeniably potent combination o f quality plus value -r Beauty and Brains - that makes Moissanite the definitive choice in affordable luxury.

Bulldog harriers succeed despite setbacks;hardships

r u n n e r s o v e r c o m e a d v e r s i t y t o s u c c e e d

By Don Richter •Sports Editor

Cross country is a grueling sport,

P rom train ing in 90-degrec h e a t in. the sum m er, to ru n ­ning in 30-degree cold a t the s ta te m e e t in November* cross-country a th le te s ru n th e gam ut o f em otions and th e elem ents.

This season, Chelsea’s girls’ cross country team overcame hardships both on and off the course, placing sixth at the state meet, post­ing One of the school’s best finishes ever.

While most of the head­lines, deservedly so, went to Bulldog - junior captain RachelSeverin, who finished fourth overall at the Division II state meet Nov. 8, numer­ous Chelsea runners also had memorable years.

Bulldog sophomore Katelyn Ciaccio battled walking pneumonia during the season, but still managed to finish 62nd at the state, meet, white teammate sopho­more Johanna Jackson over­came a leg injury to qualify for the state meet, as well.

“I was injured before my first race this season at cross­country camp in August,” Jackson said. “My mistake was that I doubled my znile- age overnight, from five to 10 miles a day. Then I ran over the shin pain. The third day of camp, (boys’ cross country coach) Mr. (Eric) Swager touched my tender shin, and I screamed. We knew some­thing was wrong after that.”

For first-year "cross-coun­try runner Leah House, a sophomore, her obstacle entering the year was to over­come a stress fracture suf­fered last spring during track season.

‘T wasn’t .sure what to expect,” she. said. "I had

always thought cross-country runners were crazy. They train so much and run so far.I ran the two-mile in track and figured that was enough for me.,,

“But when (girls’ cross country coach) Jlr. (Pat) Clarke, the middle school­boys’ track coach and my old math teacher, asked me to run ’his sport’ this fall, I had a. hard time saying no. I reminded him that I wasn’t very good, but he said that he wanted my heart. If I could give him my heart, he would

„do the rest.”For sophomore Amanda

McKenzie, one of the state’s top underclassmen, running this season was all about the team.

“We came together and believed in one another, and had faith that the others would do what needed to be done,” she said. “Everyone trusted everyone else, and with that, we were able to do great things.”

McKenzie, who placed 14th this year at the state meet, said she was most proud of the fact the team qualified for the finals this season.

“After going alone last year (as an individual qualifier), it was the most wonderful thing that could have happened”, she said. “I was so happy. And looking around our cir­cle and seeing everyone else - happy and having the chance to run one more race- with this fantastic group of girls was an amazing feeling. It was truly unforgettable.”

For junior Mallory Weddon, she will never for-. get all the bumps and bruises this season’s team endured.

“Every day after practice, the training room would be filled with injured or sore cross-country runners,” she said. “We" dominated that room. We had at least a dozen runners occupying it each day after practice.” _

Jackson, who said she felt isolated from her teammates during her rehabilitation from injury and battled

inner, self-regret over train­ing too hard, nev^r stopped, however, in her attempt to recover in time for the state meet.

“It’s not that my teammates shunned me or anything dur­ing my season,” she said. “Instead, the gi.rls were very supportive. But I couldn’t even run a partial workout with our team for seven straight weeks. That was one of the hardest parts of the season. •

“I Spent a lot of the season waiting out the orthopedic surgeon’s sentence of six weeks. During that time, I did everything the doctors said would help, even the small­est bit. I iced in the training room and iced in the car, and iced in my sleep. I went StairMaster crazy. However, I spent a lot of my season in the shadows.”

For House, whose heart Clarke asked for, the begin­ning of the season was nerve- wracking.

“I’d trained as much as I could without hurting myself, but I still wasn’t sure if I could do it,” she said. “The team and Mr. Clarke were really supportive and encouraged everybody. I fin­ished (first race) in 24:00.”

Three weeks later, in a meet at Jackson, House’s heart and legs came to the forefront. "

“I ran my personal record in 21:49,” she said. “I fmished seventh for our team.”

A few weeks later, ..howev­er, House’s season Came to an abrupt and disappointing end as she suffered a stress fracture.

/ ‘Those are the dreaded words for any runner,” she said. “I didn’t get -to run states. I did show up to cheer on our girls’ and boys’- (teams).”

Despite not making it through the season healthy, House has no regrets about her first-season as a cross­country runner.

“Our team worked together from the start and became

closer as the season went on,” she said. “All I can think about is how everybody encouraged everybody else.

“It (sixth place at the state meet) was a great end to the season. I know we’re all look­ing forward to next fall.”' Another great end to the season was Jackson’s appear­ance in thestate meet.

“The state meet was all I was hoping for (during recu­peration),” she said. “I dont know how to say it, but it was my one and only chance.

“Lining up for the starting line, there were a lot of thoughts going through my

head. I didn’t want to waste this opportunity.”

Though crossing the line 194th in 21:49, Jackson was satisfied.

“Though. I was hoping for my finish time to be in the low 2.1s, I decided at the end that I had still championed* just in a different way than what I was hoping for,” she said. “I really did give my all that race, and I’m proud of how I ran.

“We (as a team) went through disappointment and challenge and triumphed together.”

McKenzie said this season

Chelsea sophomore Johanna Jackson strides for the. finish line at this year’s Division II state meet. Jackson suf­fered a leg. injury, forc­ing her to miss the entire regular season. She finally Was well enough to compete in the state meet, where she placed ' 194th in 21:49.

made.her not just a stronger runner, but a better person.

“Mr. Clarke is a great guy,” she said. “He reassured me when I, had my doubts. He. has so much knowledge ae it’s unbelievable. Every time I had a question, he would know the answer.

“Through all of his inspira­tional words, and those of my team, I learned what it’s like to believe, to really believe in something.”

Though cross country may be a grueling sport, it appears to be a rewarding one, as well.

But, as fate and less-than- p e rfec t eyesight w ould have it, Cowan landed a gig th a t is ab o u t as far from a ir trav e l as h e is from h is n a tiv e California. . v

S ince 2002, Cowan has host­ed h is own m orning ra d io show, “B reakfast w ith B ubba, w hich a irs M onday th rough F rid ay on W-4 Country, 102.9- FM.

“It’s rea lly a fluke how I en d ed up on rad io ,” he says,

Once the com m ercial spots s ta rt, Cowan and Wiley p u ll th e i r h ead p h o n es off a n d kick back for some “Q-&-A.”

“I knew I w ouldn’t find it in L.A., so I s tarted look ingeast.”

In four days, Cowan had in te rv iew s in P h oen ix , C heyenne; Wyo.; V icto ria , Texas; and Kalamazoo.

- the ea rly 1950s, we d id th ree live comimercials for a c igarette sponsor p e r game. We’d m em orize the com ­m erc ia ls w hile th e gam e w as going on. T hen they would tu rn the cam ­e ra on us an d we would hold up a

‘ pack of c igare ttes and te ll people- how good they w ere.

In fact, they even sen t me aroundto th e hospita ls. I ’d go to a can ce r _______u n it an d give the guys cigarettes!.Can you im agine that?

‘We’ve certa in ly come a long way in our u n d e rs tan d in g of smoking and the d a n g e r it poses to our health . Of course, we now know th a t sm oking is linked to cancer, h e a r t d is ­ease a n d a host o f o th e r serious h e a lth prob-
