Get ready for some mischief! The Guernsey Elf is baaaaaaack! Ten businesses will each have the Elf in

their shop for three days, beginning November 12, and running through December 15. The Elf hides in the craziest places! Shoppers can hunt for him and when they find him, enter to win $100 in Chamber Bucks! And Chamber Bucks may be redeemed at over 50 stores in our community! We’ll advertise in the paper and on social media so people know the stores where that Elf is hiding during the holiday shopping season. People can enter to win at all ten stores! We’ll draw from the entries on December 17th and announce the winner of $100 in Chamber Bucks.

SIDLO AWARDIn December of each year the Chamber of Commerce presents the

Sidlo Award to a deserving person in our community. John Sidlo was the chamber president in 1940 and realized great success growing the chamber organization following the great depression. The Sidlo award honors his excellence for Vision, Leadership, and Legacy.

The Chamber is currently accepting nominations for the Sidlo Award. A candidate for consideration should have a proven history and record over an extended period of time of Vision, Leadership, and Legacy as defined:

VISION – Act or power of anticipating that which will or may come to be for the betterment of the community.

LEADERSHIP – Act of effectively leading or directing a group of people toward common goals.

LEGACY – Gift of anything handed down from the past to benefit the community.

In 2017 we honored Jeff East for his Vision, Leadership, and Legacy when we celebrated the holidays at Century National Bank. This year we will honor the 2018 Sidlo recipient at the December 18 Business After Hours at Carol Goff & Associates Real Estate in downtown Cambridge.

The deadline for submitting nominations for the Sidlo award is November 23. The nomination form is on the Chamber’s website – cambridgeohiochamber.com

The public is invited to attend an evening with Bruce Kennett, author of W.A. Dwiggins – A Life In Design. The Chamber is sponsoring an illustrated talk by biographer Bruce Kennett about Cambridge’s own W.A. Dwiggins. This is a return visit from Mr. Kennett whose first presentation in Cambridge was in June, 2011. The November 5th presentation is at 6:00 pm at Theo’s (upstairs) and is free and open to the public. Meet the author, enjoy some pie and coffee, and sit back to enjoy the Dwiggins presentation beginning at 7:00. “William Addison Dwiggins (1880-1956) was America’s Master Graphic Designer, Artist, and Wit. He spent his childhood years in Cambridge, married here, and later became one of the Twentieth Century’s greatest designers of books and printing types. Although he is best-known as a designer of books and typefaces, Dwiggins was a man of many talents – he was an innovative illustrator; a talented calligrapher; an insightful writer on graphic design and advertising; a humorist, essayist and playwright; a marionette-maker, theatrical set designer and costume designer still known in the world of puppetry; and an expert kite-maker. He applied his unique blend of curiosity, humor and graphic skills to clients as wide-ranging as General Motors, LIFE Magazine, Alfred A. Knopf, the Linotype Co., and the U.S. Postal Service.”

Bruce Kennett, a New England book designer and photographer, has completed an illustrated biography of Dwiggins after over ten years of research. He’s coming to Cambridge and would like to give the citizens of Cambridge and surrounding towns a generous taste of this inspiring man’s life and work. Mr. Kennett has lectured widely on printing and design since the 1980s, for institutions such as Bookbuilders of Boston, Dartmouth College, Harvard University, and The Society of Typographic Arts. He currently teaches book design at Maine Media Workshops; his previous teaching positions include the Art Institute of Boston, The Center for Creative Imaging, Northeastern University, Rochester Institute of Technology, and then University of Maine.

Cambridge’s own William Addison Dwiggins (1880–1956) designed books and typefaces, was an accomplished calligrapher and illustrator, built furniture and kites, and remains famous in the puppet world for his marionettes, set designs, and plays. On top of all this, Dwiggins used humor and satire to advocate for change, or simply to have fun. Bruce Kennett’s comprehensive illustrated biography

of the artist was published this spring and sent to buyers in 43 countries around the world; now Bruce returns to Theo’s to give us a generous sampling of Dwiggins’s whimsy and sharp wit.

EVEN THOUGH COLD MONTHS ARE AHEAD, FIRE SAFETY IS STILL RELEVANT

One of the most common types of emergency is a fire. Preparing for this emergency requires hours of planning and training. Obviously, the most important thing during this situation is to get everyone out of the building in a safe manner, to do so steps need taken.

BRAINSTORMINGMeet with as many employees and departments as possible. Different

people will have differing experiences and perspectives on how the safest way to handle the situation.

PLANNINGThis is where you put down on paper what you intend to do in the event

of a fire. Things like emergency contacts, how the employees are to be notified, meeting point and attendance taking should be addressed.

EXECUTIONDrills should be performed on a regular basis. These drills should be

as realistic as possible without causing extra panic. There are differing opinions as to whether employees should be warned ahead of time but both have their place. Consider having somebody block a high traffic exit so employees are forced to try other paths, as an exit could be inaccessible due to the fire. These drills need to be documented and timed. Another test would be for one employee to be “left behind” and see how long it would take the attendance taker to distinguish somebody is missing.

BRAINSTORMINGOnce again, we want to meet in groups and discuss what worked

and what did not. Tap into the knowledge your employees have. Ask questions like “Was everyone able to hear the alarm easily?” or “Did anyone experience any obstacles in their paths out of the building?”. These are good questions and will help you get to a place where you are comfortable in your Emergency Evacuation Plan.

As you noticed the process started and ended with Brainstorming. This evacuation plan like others are a living document. It should always be under constant scrutiny and changed upon for changes of environment, employees with new responsibilities, and to refresh new faces. Fire Safety needs to be the first discussion an employer has with a new hire. Emergencies do not present themselves in advance and it is just as likely to happen on an employee’s first day as it is any other.

Safety Council meetings are held in the Paul R. Brown Epic Center of Zane State on Brick Church Road. They begin at 8am and end at 9am. Coffee, water, donuts and other snacks are provided.

UPCOMING MEETINGS November 14th – DOT Safety on the RoadwaysDecember 12th – We end our year with a fun game relating back to the

things we have learned in the past year. A hot breakfast will be provided.
