AS NOVEMBER ROLLS AROUND, WE’RE ANXIOUSLY AWAITING THE APPROACH OF THANKSGIVING, THE HOLIDAY SEASON AND TIME SPENT WITH OUR LOVED ONES. The winding down of the year always brings about a time of reflection for us— remembering everything we’ve done or accomplished in months past; looking back on turkey disaster stories, mornings watching the Thanksgiving Day parade or afternoons spent curled up on the couch after one too many pieces of pie; thinking of the people, experiences and things we’ve been blessed with in the last year. As we press pause on the hustle and bustle of life putting together a monthly magazine, we’re able to look back on the past year and, most meaningfully, the stories from all of you that have made what we do possible. We also take this chance to think of those less fortunate and encourage you to take the opportunity this giving season to donate to local organizations or charities giving back locally. We hope that as you read this issue, you—like us—find inspiration in the lives and experiences of your neighbors and the connections that have been made. Happy Thanksgiving, Bowie! Veronica Fountain

WELCOME TO BODY BY BENJAMIN
We offer cosmetic surgery by a board certified plastic surgeon you can trust. Dr. James R. Benjamin will give you the best advice for you to obtain the results you are looking for, at affordable prices. Dr. Benjamin is located in Bowie, Maryland, where he also resides with his family. He performs surgery at University of Maryland Capital Region Surgery Center in Bowie as well as the Maryland Plastic Surgery Center in Glen Burnie, Maryland. Though Dr. James R. Benjamin has performed numerous types of cosmetic and reconstructive surgery, he has specialized in Body Contouring procedures over the last 20 years.
SMARTLIPO™
He was one of the first Plastic Surgeons in Maryland to utilize the Smartlipo™ laser assisted - liposuction to obtain superior results in that contouring. He is skilled in the operating room and in the consultation room, ascertaining exactly what it is you are looking for, in order to give you the look you want and can realistically expect.
BRAZILIAN BUTT LIFT
The very popular Brazilian Butt Lift is one of the procedures he specializes in to add volume and shape to the contouring process. He utilizes liposuction and fat grafting to obtain his superior results. For the most natural results, he does not utilize implants for buttock augmentation due to his personal preferences.
BREAST AUGMENTATION
Dr. Benjamin uses silicone and saline implants in breast augmentation procedures for added volume and shape of the breast.
TUMMY TUCK
Weight fluctuation, child bearing and the aging process can reduce the ability for the skin to spring back and support the underlying muscles and fat. A Tummy Tuck can help restore the appearance of a more youthful appearing shape.

NEWLY RENOVATED TULIP GROVE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL RE-OPENS AFTER LONG WAIT The newly renovated Tulip Grove Elementary School on Trainor Lane in Bowie has finally reopened. This comes a decade after renovation talks, four years since the start of what was supposed to be a brief stay at a temporary school and another two years since finding out that stay would be longer. Talks of renovation have been ongoing since 2008, and considerations of closing the school altogether occurred in 2011. Local residents fought to keep their elementary school open. The newly opened school will

house around 300 students.
The Germany grocery store chain Lidl opened its first Maryland location in Bowie one year after opening its Washington D.C. location. Lidl is a grocery store that offers private-label goods while selling them at discount prices. This marketing strategy puts them in competition with supermarket chains such as Giant and Whole Foods as well as smaller discount stores like Aldi. Residents lined up starting at 4:30 a.m. on opening day for a chance to visit the store. The first customers in line recieved a $100 gift card.
REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER TO OPEN AT LARGO TOWN CENTER University of Maryland Capital Regional Health says that the hospital will include 205 inpatient rooms, eight operating rooms, a cancer center, a cardiac rehabilitation center and outpatient clinics, among many other services.

HOME AWAY FROM HOME DURING THE HOLIDAYS BOWIE FIREFIGHTERS SHARE HOLIDAY TRADITIONS WHEN THEY ARE ON CALL DURING THE HOLIDAY SEASON
THE HOLIDAYS ARE A TIME TO COME TOGETHER AND CELEBRATE YOUR FAVORITE OUTINGS, FAVORITE FOODS AND FAVORITE TRADITIONS WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS. We must also remember that there are people in our community who can’t always be with their families because they are out serving others. Firefighters and those in Emergency Medical Services often sacrifice their time and personal safety to make sure that our community is safe. The firefighters of Bowie Station 839 “Midtown” share the holiday traditions they have made while being on duty and watching over us. We truly appreciate all of their hard work and dedication during this holiday season and every day of the year.

another day unless someone does a swap with us. On Christmas, for example, the younger firefighters usually will work for the firefighters with children so that they could have New Year’s Eve or New Year’s Day off. HOW DO YOU CELEBRATE HOLIDAYS OR SPECIAL EVENTS WHILE YOU ARE WORKING? During Thanksgiving, our families usually come to the station and help cook throughout the day while we are out running calls. That is always nice because you get to see your actual family. The fire department is your second family when you return to the station. Other holidays, we’ll cook a special meal together. WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT YOUR JOB DURING THIS TIME OF THE YEAR? We operate 24/7, no matter what. That includes snow, ice, windy weather and any combination. The winter is when we get more fires due to people trying to heat their homes with space heaters, wood stoves and fireplaces. In the academy, we had a senior firefighter tell us, “We are not paid to be comfortable.”

IT'S TIME TO
GIVE THANKS BE THANKFUL FOR TIME SPENT WITH LOVED ONES OVER THIS EXQUISITE DISH
CLASSIC ROAST TURKEY
ARTICLE ALYSON TURNER
WITH THIS DELICIOUS THANKSGIVING MEAL, THERE IS PLENTY TO BE THANKFUL FOR.
INGREDIENTS + 1 8-pound turkey, thawed + Salt + Ground black pepper + Old-fashioned bread stuffing* + Vegetable oil + Turkey pan gravy*
DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Rinse turkey neck and body cav-
ities; pat dry with paper towels. If desired, sprinkle body cavity with salt and pepper. If desired, spoon stuffing loosely into neck and body cavities. Skewer turkey neck skin to back of turkey. 2. Tuck ends of drumsticks under band of skin across the tail or into wire or nylon leg clamp. If there is no skin or clamp, tie drumsticks to the tail with clean 100-percent-cotton kitchen string. Twist wing tips under the back of turkey. 3. Place turkey, breast side up, on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Brush with oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. If desired, insert an ovenproof meat thermometer into the center of an inside thigh muscle. Thermometer should not touch bone. Cover turkey loosely with foil. 4. Roast turkey for 2 hours, 15 minutes. Remove foil; cut band of skin or kitchen string between drumsticks so thighs cook evenly. Continue roasting for 30 to 45 minutes more (60 to 75 minutes, if turkey is stuffed) or until meat thermometer registers 180 degrees F and the center of the stuffing (if using) is 165 degrees F. (The juices should run clear, and drumsticks should move easily in their sockets.) 5. Remove turkey from oven. Cover loosely with foil; let stand for 15-20 minutes before carving. Transfer turkey to cutting board. Carve turkey.
