Women Rising: How Women Will Learn, Work And Start Businesses In The 21st Century (NAPS)—Women have become more vital to America’s prosperity than ever. Without their activity in the U.S. workforce, the economy would shrink by 25 percent. A new book by the vice president and managing director of Apollo Research Institute finds that women’s contributions to management, small business and job creation are at an all-time high. In “Society 3.0: How Technology Is Reshaping Education, Work and Society,” Dr. Tracey Wilen-Daugenti describes how women’s changing roles and rising rates of educational achievement are helping them master the challenges of career while maintaining work/life balance. A former Silicon Valley executive, Dr. Wilen-Daugenti says that more women leaders are emerging as societal perceptions evolve.
Rising numbers of Americans now believe women should be the major family breadwinner, she writes, and men are assuming a fairer share of home and family duties to compensate. Although women still earn only 77 percent of what their male colleagues earn for comparable work, they bring home 44 percent of U.S. household income. They fared better than men during the Great Recession, however, with only 25 percent of layoffs affecting female employees. And women-owned firms are responsible for over 23 million jobs and $3 trillion in annual economic impact. Women are finding creative ways to bust stereotypes while launching satisfying careers. Self-employment is one path; 35 percent of all solo entrepreneurs are women, and their numbers are increasing by 23 percent annually. “Women can also stand out
by entering traditionally male-dominated careers such as science, engineering and computer technology, where salaries happen to be highly competitive,” Dr. Wilen-Daugenti says. Education is helping to close the gap. Women are now earning more higher degrees than men. And more female managers hold bachelor’s or master’s degrees than do male managers. “These trends position women to prevail in a competitive future,” says Dr. Wilen-Daugenti. For more information about “Society 3.0,” visit www.apolloresearchinstitute.com. Degree-holding women will prosper in tomorrow’s competitive job market.

Wanted: Old Cell Phones My name is Karen McGuire, the daughter of Jimmy & Kumi McGuire and I'm a 7th grader at Woodrow Wilson Middle School. Recently, I was accepted into a program called People to People. This summer, I will be taking a trip to England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales to learn about their cultures and what it takes to become a student ambassador. I need to raise funds for my tuition on this trip. One of the ways is recycling old, used or even broken cell phones. I am working with a company called PhoneRaiser in Texas. I send them the cell phones; they refurbish them and send them to third-world countries or people in the army. I found out through this program that 1 phone can contaminate up to 39,000 gallons of water if disposed of in a normal landfill, and that currently only 4% of the cell phones get recycled.
If you have any old cell phones, or work for a company that might have a pile of them laying around the office, could you PLEASE bring them to:

Is Perfection Possible? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect” – Matthew 5:48 There’s the story about a woman who handed a little green paint chip to a house painter and said she wanted her living room wall painted the same shade. Well, the painter mixed the color and painted the living room not once but five times; each time she kept shaking her head and saying, “Sorry, that’s not quite it.” She then decided to call her mother on the phone and get her ideas on the problem. The conversation was lengthy, during which time she had given the painter another opportunity to get it right. He had, indeed, painted the wall for the sixth time. This time she liked what she saw – the wall was a perfect match for the chip. What she didn’t know – and he didn’t tell her – was that during her telephone conversation, the long-suffering hero had painted the chip with the color she now saw on the wall! When Jesus walked the face of this earth, He set the standard of perfection for all time – a standard that can never be changed or “painted over.” What, then, did Jesus mean when He said “be perfect”? The original Greek word for perfect is teleos which means full-grown, adult, complete, mature. When Jesus said “be perfect,” He meant grow up! Don’t be childish! Imitate the unconditional love of God. Be loving as Jesus was loving. Be patient as Jesus was patient. Be forgiving as Jesus was forgiving. In the world of politics, in the world of human relationships, in the world of the church, there is a more excellent way – the way of Christ-like love. Prayer: Dear Lord, help me to reflect your love to others this day and all of my days. In Jesus’ name. Amen. Please join us for worship this Sunday in a church “Where Jesus’ love is lived.”

I’m shy at first! As soon as she knows that you are not going to hurt her, Whisper will fall desperately in love with you. She came to Canine Safe Harbor from a local animal control facility, and her past is unknown. A little bit of Jack Russell Terrier, maybe some hound, perhaps a bit of Corgi - Whisper is a mystery mix! She can be a little chatty with her doggy friends across the gate, but we think she is just asking for someone to come over to play. She would just love it if you would consider taking her home with you. Contact Canine Safe Harbor at 269-808-2227. Call or email anytime.

Ellen died peacefully Sunday, March 4, 2012, with her loving family by her side. Mrs. Sisson was born September 7, 1921 in Otsego to Fellus and Christina (Gydesen) Higby and was a graduate of Otsego High School. Ellen’s father died when she was 10 months old and she became the most important part of her mother’s life. She grew up living in the Murray Hotel in downtown Otsego, where her mother was employed. She enjoyed knitting, crocheting, counted cross stitch and other crafts, making things for all her family and friends. Ellen was an avid reader, especially history, so much so that the history reading room at the new Otsego library is named in her honor. Her family fondly remembers her macaroni and cheese, meatloaf and creamed potatoes, ham and egg casserole and her pastel cream cookies at Christmas. Her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great granddaughter were the most important part of her life. She loved her children’s mates as much as she loved her children. On August 13, 1938 in Otsego she married Lyle “Red” Sisson, who died in 1994. Also preceding her in death were an infant son, Mark Sisson in 1950; and her young sister, Frances Higby in 1918. Surviving are two sons and two daughters, Lyle “Skip” (Barb) Sisson of Sturgis, Barb (Pete) Jirgens of Kalamazoo, Craig (Lorna) Sisson of Otsego and Chris (Jim) McNutt of Allegan; 10 grandchildren, Rob (Theresa), Julie (Jerry), Kathy (Mike), Eric (Allan), Scott (Shelly), Sarah (Mark), Stephen (Abby), Adam (Missy), Jenni (Corby) and Jimmy; 24 great-grandchildren; and 1 great-great-granddaughter. Also surviving are many, many relatives in Upstate New York. Funeral services were held on Wednesday in Otsego. Burial followed at Mountain Home Cemetery. Contributions in memory of Ellen may be made to the Otsego District Public Library or the First Congregational Church of Otsego. Arrangements by Winkel Funeral Home, Otsego Messages of condolence may be left at www.WinkelFuneralHome.com Fish Fry, Otsego V.F.W. Post 3030 Friday, March 16th- 5:00-7:30pm Public Welcome
