WESTMONT LIBRARY

Library hosts radio WWII correlation session Steve Darnall spoke about how especially in the 1940’s folks used radio to understand more what was going on in the War at that time

BY RYAN OSTRY Bugle Staff @RyanOstry_BR18 rostry@buglenewspapers.com

Steve Darnall, host of the weekly Chicago-area radio show “Those Were the Days,” paid a visit to the Westmont Library examining how radio brought World War II into the lives of listeners.

Presidential speeches, news broadcast, entertainment shows for the troops and programs to help boost morale at home were all dis-

cussed. “I’ve always believed that radio offers historical insights that textbooks do not,” Darnall said.

“Textbooks as good as they are, can tell us who fought where, who signed what treaty, who ran in what election but radio has the ability to convey to us what entertained us and how it did.”

A large educational piece of the one-hour informative session was about how World War II started, with the bombing of Pearl Harbor.

Darnall played feedback from

Franklin D. Roosevelt, the President of the United States at the time, one day after the attack happened.

The attack happened on December 7, 1941, but Darnall articulated that back in those days, listeners were not able to receive news or feedback from events for usually about a day after something taking place.

Darnall played Roosevelt’s famous “A day which will live in infamy” speech for the crowd, who was in awe that they did not know about the attack until December 8, 1941.

Back in the 1940s, Radio was one of the cheapest forms of entertainment, while being the most popu-

lar form of communication during World War II. Shows such as “Axis Sally” and “Lord Haw-Haw” were just two of the many shows created during the time period for propaganda, each trying to make viewers at home and not directly affiliated with the War, a little bit more at ease.

“In a time before global communications radio was really one of the only means for getting communication as quickly as we could,” Darnall said. “World War II was the first time in history we could here the day-to-day developments of a War that has affected our future.”

With about 90 percent of American families owning a radio at the

time of World War II, Darnall said that it has been a domino affect for technology and communication to keep on building and evolving like it has been since the time of that War. “That development of the radio has set the tone in the United States and everything that has happened since then,” Darnall said.

“With what we have going on in our world today such as people advocating racism and Nazis in 2019 in America, so it’s important to remind people we have had this discussion. Like any part in American History, you can’t know how you got here unless you know what happened then.”

COLUMN >> DAVE SAYS

How To Deal With An Irresponsible Adult Stepchild DEAR DAVE, I’m getting married this summer and about to become a stepfather, but my fiancé’s daughter from a previous marriage seems very irresponsible. She’s 20 and lives at home, has trouble holding a job, and she doesn’t really want to work. When she doesn’t have money to make her car payment, she seems to expect her mom to pay it for her. My fiancé and I both agree that she’s been too lenient with her in the past, but she doesn’t want to suddenly pull the rug out from under her. How do you think we should approach this situation?

KENDALL DEAR KENDALL, Marriage counselors say you have a good chance of having a successful marriage if you’re in agreement on four things—religion, money, children, and in-laws. So, first things first. I’d strongly suggest you and your fiancé go through pre-marital counseling to make sure you’re on the same page when it comes to han-

DECA FROM PAGE 2 Communications.

For North, they had 29 state DECA competitors, where six placed top 10 in their respective events, and four qualified for the National competition.

Abby Koors, Will Pecho, Nick Miller, Rosie Jurasas, Matthew Ghanayem, Nathan Boris, Brin Driscoll, Eddie Hren, Clay Wise, Sophie Goray, Morgan Rosenberg, Payton Sirota, Davis Johnson, Charlotte Klasing, Katherine Gross, Jaina Rattary, Josh Roddy, David Cesario, Cole Rattary, Lily Buehler, Mia Salerno, Julia McGuire, Sam Hicks, Emma Gramm, Will Thomas, Sam Scacco, Paul Castlebuono, Blake Varsolona and Steph Chiganos were all qualifiers.

dling this and other issues.

If you and her mom really want to show her you love her, you’ll make sure she starts learning some character and discipline. And it’s very important that both of you are on the same page and in agreement every step of the way. You might also want to read a book together by Dr. Henry Cloud called “Boundaries.” This is a great book, and it will give you both several ideas for creating a reasonable timeline aimed at teaching her more responsibility.

I would advise letting her mom present any changes to her initially.

Neither of you wants to create a scenario where you’re viewed as the bad guy. Let her mom start the process by explaining that she made a few mis-

takes in terms of teaching her more about personal responsibility and self-reliance when she was younger.

Then, she can begin to lay out the first few rules and expectations. In my mind, there’s nothing wrong with requiring her to get a job within 30 days if she doesn’t already have one.

If she needs to go job hunting, make sure she’s out of bed and on the road no later than 8:00 a.m. every morning. During this first phase, looking for work every day should be her job. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to start teaching her about budgeting, saving, and everything else that goes into handling money responsibly during this time, too.

Next, phase two might consist of requiring her to help around the house doing chores on her days off, or whenever mom needs a hand.

Then, after a month or two of this, phase three might consist of her paying a small amount in rent.

Do you see what I’m doing? By stepping up the expectations gradually you’re building a foundation so she’ll have the tools and knowledge to where, in the sixth or seventh month, she’s moving out and taking care of her own responsibilities.

National Qualifiers for North were David Cesario: Principles of Finance, Katherine Gross: 4th place in the Restaurant and Food Services Management, Samantha Hicks: Quick Serve Restaurant Management and Julia McGuire: Personal Financial Literacy.

Cole Rattary: Principles of Hospitality and Tourism, and Mia Salerno: Principles of Marketing were also recognized.

“The kids throughout the year participate in activities like leadership events and if they keep making certain ranks in the conferences then they can climb up the ranks nationally and then internationally,” Baca said.

For the ICDC conference in April, students will get asked real world scenarios such as business problems where solutions need to be presented anywhere from 10 to

20 minutes in front of judges.

“Depending on how good and innovative their ideas are, how practical and their overall presentation they get ranked amongst their competition which factors into a final score,” Baca said.

Not only are kids asked to solve real world problems in front of a large group of people in a short amount of time, but they also have to take a Cluster Exam, which is on Economics and Business.

To join DECA, Baca said that any kid can join the business club, but it is no easy task.

“We have meetings where we prepare for competitions, we have guest speakers from businesses come into talk, we go to seminars and then we have our competitive events that start up from the sectionals, state and then nationals,” Baca said.
