World Spay Day The Estelle Marcus Animal Clinic will participate in World Spay Day on February 25, 2014. An international campaign of The Humane Society of the United States and Humane Society International, World Spay Day promotes spay/neuter as a humane and effective means of reducing the number of animals who are put down in shelters each year. Estelle Marcus Animal Clinic will offer $20 cat spay/neuter and $35 dog spay/neuter February 25-26 for qualifying pet owners. The clinic also will offer discount pricing throughout the week of February 24-28 in honor of World Spay Day. Space is limited and qualifying owners can make appointments by calling (219) 924-7140. The clinic is located at Humane Society Calumet Area, 421 45th St, Munster and hours are 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Ser v ices w ill be available to ow ners who receive government assistance (such as food stamps, Medicaid, unemployment or disability); residents of Gary, Hammond and East Chicago, Ind; owners of Pit Bull or Pit Bull mixes; feral cat caretakers; animal shelters; animal control agencies; and rescue groups (must be 501(c)3). “Spay i ng a nd neuter i ng ca n va st ly

improve your pet’s behav ior and offers lifelong hea lt h benef its,” said Dr. Jane Lazzara, Medical Director and Veterinarian at Estelle Marcus Animal Clinic. “Having your pet spayed or neutered is one of the most important health decisions an owner will make for their pet. Our goal is to make t h is decision possible for low-i ncome communities.” Since World Spay Day began in 1996, it is conservatively estimated that participants have spayed or neutered nearly two million animals. It has been a proud achievement of World Spay Day participants like the Estelle Marcus Animal Clinic and other spay/neuter programs that the number of homeless cats and dogs euthanized in the U.S. has fallen from approximately 13.5 million in 1973 to fewer than three million currently. Estelle Marcus Animal Clinic is a lowcost/high-quality spay/neuter clinic. The clinic aims to help low-income pet owners in Northwest Indiana and surrounding communities afford to have their pet spayed or neutered. Since opening its doors to the public in the summer of 2012, the clinic has performed more than five thousand spay and neuter surgeries.

Real Estate Questions & Answers CATHY & JIM HIGGINS Question: I’m trying to buy a home for the first time, did the usual contract, had the inspection done and found out the roof had four layers of shingles. The inspection report came out and stated the roof was not leaking, but structurally it was dangerous. The sellers came back and said they will fix the roof, but increase the price of the house. That was a verbal, and we stated no because we did not expect to pay more for the house. To make a long story short, the sellers are two attorneys and they are now threatening us with legal action because they said nothing is wrong with the roof and they agreed to fix it anyway. A nswer : You need to get you r ow n attorney and have him or her look at the purchase agreement and all disclosure statements. Most likely the building code requires that no more than two layers of roofing material can be used. The reason for this is to limit weight on the roof. Too much weight could cause structural problems. As to the seller’s offer, it’s a counter offer to fix the roof at your cost in the form of a higher price to which you have not

agreed. What, exactly, is attractive about that? Question: How can I be sure that now is the time to sell and buy? Answer: You can’t. There’s no way to time the market, to buy at the low point and to sell at the high. What you can do is buy or sell in response to your needs and preferences. If you think about the most-successful real estate “investors” it often turns out that they’re simply people who needed shelter, lived in their home for many years, paid down their mortgage and then had significant equity when they sold. It’s an old formula -- and one which has largely worked for most owners, most of the time and in most markets.

Internet Edition

Season opens with another premiere at the Towle Theater The Towle Theater opens its 11th season w ith the Northwest Indiana premiere of Christopher Durang and Peter Melnick’s Adrift in Macao. This musical is under the direction of Managing Director, Jeff Casey and Musical Direction by Elizabeth Tuazon. Set in 1952 in Macao, China, Adrift in Macao is a lighthearted, playful parody of two Hollywood genres; the film noir movies, in which the leading man is always mysterious and can’t go home for murky reasons he won’t say, and the less known “exotic adventure” movie set in Holly wood versions of China or Morocco or Trinidad. Everyone that comes to Macao is waiting for something, and though none of them know exactly what that is, they hang around to find out. The characters include film noir standards, like Lureena, the curvaceous beauty, who luckily bumps into Rick Shaw, the cynical surf and turf casino owner her first night in town. And don’t forget about Mitch, the American who has just been framed for murder by the mysterious villain McGuffin. With songs and quips, puns and farcical shenanigans, this musical parody is bound to please audiences of all ages. The Towle welcomes back Sarah Mergener (Chicago) as Lureena. Patrons may remember her from A Fabulous 50’s/Swank 60’s Christmas-2012 and Tomorrow Morning. Bradford-W hite water heaters, hydromatic pumps. Fast installation.

GOD WITH US

Knowing God Through Marriage ANNA M. CAISON A popular radio station played a clip from the sitcom, the Cosby Show, which featured Clair Huxtable lecturing her son-in-law about marriage and it being a 50/50 give and take. The host then asked its listeners a question, “Do you serve your spouse even if he’s a jerk?” Three replies were aired. #1: “No, because I wouldn’t be married to a jerk in the first place!” #2: “I’d serve him only when he deserved it.” And #3: “As long as he’s not acting like a jerk (I’ll serve him).” I don’t know how the 50/50 give and take in marriage got started, however I do know it’s not biblical. Marriage wasn’t created for the sole purposes of pleasure and populating t he eart h. Its primar y purpose is to teach us about God’s love for humanity; for us, His people and His Church. And throughout the lifelong bond of Holy Matrimony there will be times when either spouse will be called to give 100 plus to protect and strengthen their marriage. I can remember when during t he early years of my marriage it was such that I started looking for a way out. This man that I said “I do” to, was different from the man I was now living with. He was exhibiting some faults I didn’t know he had. There had to be a loophole somewhere in the Bible that I could use to end this relationship. I searched

NEW PHARMACY!

Ho Chunk Baseball Indoor Facility 19800 Stony Island, Lynwood, IL

Fundamental Baseball Instruction:

for and studied ever y scripture t hat commanded a wife to love her husband. I was so shocked at what I discovered that I began studying scriptures that commanded husbands to love their wives, and learned that the commands were the same! The love God requires in building healthy, strong and vibrant marriages is not “eros” (erotic/romantic) or “philo” (brotherly/affectionate). The love that God commands a husband and wife to have for each other is “agape,” the same love that He Himself has for us! This revelation changed my whole attitude about my marriage. When I considered the innumerable times God had forgiven me of my fau lts a nd t ra nsg ressions against Him, His ultimate expression of love when He laid His life down for mine, and His continued love and blessings over me; how could I do any less for my husband? I was so over whelmed by God’s love for me that when my husband committed t he one sin t hat granted biblical divorce; I chose to forgive instead. Even t houg h ou r l ive s toget her ended after 24 years, I’ve never forgotten God’s example of love I learned through marriage.

Home Sales are UP! by Bill Port The Indiana Association of Rea ltors released t he Indiana Real Estate Markets Report last week, showing t hat 2013 out per formed 2012 in ever y measure of statew ide housi ng data. St at e w ide, t he nu m b er of ex isting Indiana homes sold in 2013 increased by 14% over 2012. The median price of these 75,849 Indiana home sales increased by 3.4% over last year.

continue through 2014. We’ve also probably hit the bottom of the market for value, and may never again see local home prices as affordable as they are now. Low interest rates continue to drive the market forward. Because of low interest rates, pu rcha sers a re able to a mpl i f y their borrowing power. In other words, a purchaser can afford a more valuable home at a lower housing payment because interest rates continue to be at record lows. This creates a phenomena l oppor tunit y for anyone looking obtain their dream home. By combining low interest rates with home prices that are at their lowest value of the recession, you may never be in a better position to purchase a larger or more valuable home. Waiting to save, may actually cost you in the long run. Bill Port and his wife, Rachel Port of RE/ MA X Results have been selling homes in the South Suburbs and Northwest Indiana for over 20 years.

What’s Your Big Idea? KEVIN BRADLEY Brian Grabinski began reading comic books and developing a lifelong passion for them as a kid growing up in Matteson, Illinois. His favorites were Spiderman and Batman. Brian says, “The world needs Heroes to inspire hope. Most comics I read growing up always had the Heroes facing impossible odds but still always managing to come out on top. It sent a good message to me in my childhood to always move forward and never give up.” Brian worked in the graphic design department of The Shopper. He left to follow a dream of designing graphics in the video game industry. He has returned to The Shopper, stating, “The video game industry did not offer me the stability I needed to build a family. If the game title I worked on did not have a sequel then I was getting laid off and had to find a new job, my wife Kelly had to find a new job, my kids had to start new schools. I loved my job in gaming, but growing my family was more important. That’s why I came back to The Shopper….family. Family owned family operated…What better place to put down roots.” In addition to his full time job and freelance graphics arts business, Brian has organized the inaugural NWI ComicCon to be held on Sunday, February 23rd from 10:00 until 6:00 at the Villa Cesare, 900 Eagleridge Drive, Schererville, Indiana ( beh i nd Home Depot). Ad m ission is only $6 for adults, parking is free, and all proceeds will be split among four local charities. Never attended a Comic-Con? “Prepare to be blown away by the amount of people that read comic books and at the fans that enjoy to cosplay (costume play) as their favorite pop culture characters!

So plan to come out and spend half the day, shopping, watching the cosplay contest, eating at our concessions, or just drop in and have a look around.” Comics and N W I Comic-Con have become bonds w it h i n t he Grabi nsk i family. Daughter, Kira, and son, Zack, have shared their dad’s passion, and now Kelly, Brian’s wife has joined the bandwagon as well. “Everybody in my family has been a HUGE support. Especially my wife Kelly! I could not have done this without her help and support. She said our house looks like a Comic Shop threw-up in it… And I have to admit it does, we have comics, goodie bags, silent charity auction items all over the place. It’s pretty freaking cool too! I’m in geek heaven!” If the Grabinski’s were a family of superheroes, Brian would like to have the powers of Superman. Zack chooses Beast Boy (from Teen Titans). Zack wants the power to transform into any and all animals. Kira chooses Wolverine. Kira wants to have a mutant healing factor to never get sick and be able to heal after getting hurt. She also wants the sharp claws. Kelly chooses Wonder Woman. Kelly wants to be a strong and powerful role model to girls all over the world.

This gathering is held the second Saturday of every month – come snow, wind or hail – the ‘Coffee with the Mayor’ will go on! The meeting room at the Dorchester was filled as many Dolton residents took the time to meet with Mayor Rogers and Dolton department heads. Special guest Deborah Sims was in attendance and pledged that Cook County and the Village of Dolton will work together for the good of all of Dolton. A Dolton resident asked how the supply of road salt was holding up. Commissioner Sims reassured her that Cook County had plenty of salt supplies and would be th ere if Dolton needed to refill the inventory. Mayor Rogers also responded that Dolton has plenty of salt to keep the roads safe through the remainder of the winter. Connie Boatman from Secretary of State Jesse White’s office was also present. She spoke passionately about how important it is to consider being an organ donor. So many lives have been touched by people who have signed up for this program. Connie said, “There is a long list of people waiting for transplants—and we have the opportunity to touch so many lives in a positive Cook County Commissioner Debra Sims way. Won’t you please consider joining this program to help others?” Over 10 Dolton residents in the audience responded on Saturday and signed up for this life changing program.

Deputy Police Chief Martinez spoke about several positive initiative things initiativessuch suchasas burglary arrests, serious felony arrests and a crime rate that is on the downward trend. Fire Chief Terry Hughes reported that even with sub-zero temperatures, the residents of Dolton can be assured of excellent fire and emergency response. During one fire in Dolton that was caused by a DUI driver, surrounding towns assisted Dolton in this instance.

Dolton Park Commissioner Lester Long was also a guest speaker. Commissioner Long updated the audience on Dolton Park programs and plans for the future. The Dolton Basketball program is directed by Commissioner Carnell Woodbury and is currently filled to capacity. This program gives young adults an opportunity to improve their skills, meet other residents and enjoy the park facilities year-round. Commission Long also said he is working with Governor Quinn to repeat the popular summer jobs program for Dolton youth ages 16 to 19 years of age. This program will provide summer jobs and income to Dolton youth who need employment and experience working in service and manufacturing companies. Dolton Deputy Police Chief Martinez “This is an exciting time for the Dolton Parks”, said Long. An update on the new $3.8 million Early Childhood Learning Center was given. The construction will start in the spring and MBE and WBE contractors are encouraged to submit bids. Minority percentages were increased to 30% and women set-asides were increased to 10% by the Dolton Park Board. This action will increase minority opportunities during the construction phase. Long gave appreciation to Mr. Dolton Park Commissioner Lester Long provides Dolton Park news. Perry who finds and applies for grants to help fund the Dolton Parks. Each grant that is awarded to Dolton Parks increases programs and decreases costs. Finally, Commissioner Long spoke about a future bike trail through Dolton that will connect to the Burnham trail and provide an important recreation for Dolton residents. In the future, Dolton residents will be able to bike ride all the way to Lake Michigan and beyond.

MIKE BUDER W hen I watch t he Olympics I have a sense of pride, watching my fellow Americans who have spent so much time perfecting t hei r sk i l ls to ach ieve a meda l a nd represent t he Un it e d St a t e s . I fe e l pr ide e v en w hen t hey don’t meda l; t hey conduct t hemselves i n such a way that they hug their competitors even if they are beaten. It takes a lot to put so much work into something and not achieve your goal. In many ways Olympic at h letes rem i nd me of Rea ltors today – no we don’t usually have to ski down a mountain or twirl on ice skates, but still like athletes, we are a lways working to improve our skills and it’s a continuing process that doesn’t really ever end, nor should it. Some Realtors have a coach to help spot their strengths and weaknesses a nd encourage t he needed ef for t to ma ke improvements. There are cycles and seasons in real estate too. Not qu ite as reg u la r a schedule as the Olympics for su re, but t here a re adjustments to be made depending on the cycle and season we are in. Not all of us will be top producers in the country or our state or even our company – but a “personal best” is still a satisfying thing.

Rea l estate includes i nd i v idu a l e f f or t , but many things go smoothest when teamwork happens. We ta ke pride in being good representatives of our company as Olympic at h letes do of t hei r countries. Some t ra its t hat lead to success for both Re a ltor s a nd Ol y mpic athletes are dedication, hard work, persistence, attention to detail and the willingness to learn from our mistakes. Rea l estate ca n put us though a full gamut of emotions, from the “thrill of victory” to the “agony of defeat”, sometimes all in the very same day! For an Olympic athlete or a Rea ltor, t here is a cer ta i n sat isfact ion i n knowing you gave it 100% - even if you don’t win the gold medal.

Being honest can help you avoid foreclosure… ARTHUR V. VEAL IV I am a lmost positive that anyone who has ever faced foreclosure did not pla n for it. A per fect ly responsible person who h a s a l w ay s pa id t hei r bills, saved money, and given to charity can still f i nd t hemselves faci ng foreclosu re for reasons c om ple t e l y out s ide of their control. Foreclosure is not a statement about your personality or level of responsibility. Foreclosure is a result in most cases of circumstances outside of you r cont rol. Ba n k s understa nd t hat, but it may seem at times that if you try to get help from a bank, they are not always very helpful. Lets remember that a bank has a business to run. You should look at your situation from a business perspective as well. Most of the times a person in foreclosure is dealing with some sort of emotiona l crisis as well as a financial crisis. A job loss, divorce, deat h, or a ny ot her number of issues can be the cause of a foreclosure a nd t hese a re a l l ver y emotional issues. Knowing that this is an emotional issue is fine but let’s also remember that this is a business issue as well. When you talk with a bank about your financial issues be sure to be honest and forthcoming. I often ta l k w it h fa m i l ies t hat have t r ied to ta l k w it h their bank and because they were scared about the situation or unsure what to do. They lied to the bank. A lie may seem like a good idea for a temporar y fix Slide out unit for pick-up truck $150; 14 silent movies $35. 708-285-1107 Double bowl white bathroom vanity top.

with a bank but in the long term it hurts your chances of w ork i ng s omet h i ng out much more than just telling the truth. W hen ta l k i ng to a ba n k representat ive on the phone it can feel very i nt i m id at i ng . T he r e p is t h row i ng a hu nd red questions at you a second a nd you a re ner vous because you a re not u s e d to t h i s sit uat ion and you don’t know the outcome. It’s ver y easy, i n fact, a l most hu ma n nature to try and answer a question t he way you t hink t he person wants you to respond. T he most important thing to remember in a situation li ke t his is to slow t he pace dow n a nd a nswer honestly. If you are honest then you will at least know your true options and can make a good decision on what you should do next. In situations like this you must be strong. You must be strong enough to tell the truth and strong enough to deal with the response t hat you get. Don’t let fear put you into a position where you have created lie upon lie so that you can “trick” the bank into letting you keep your home. That situation often doe s more ha r m t ha n good. Until next week, Good luck and God Bless and remember… If you want to sell your house within 7 days regardless of if you have equity… check out our informative website at www.sellonterms.com for more information.

Neuromas

Neuromas are a scarring of a sheath surrounding the nerve. They usually occur between the 3rd and 4th toes but can be found elsewhere as well. Symptoms include feeling a click in the ball of the foot, or electrical shocks shooting to the ends of the affected toes. Surgery is nearly always needed to alleviate the symptoms although injections, padding or physical therapy can help. If you have any questions concerning neuromas or any other foot problems, please stop by or call my office during office hours.

We are cat-sitting at my house this week. Over the holidays we dog-sat. I have to tell you that cats are much easier, but dogs give you a better welcome when you walk in the door. Here is a short essay on pet rules that was written by an anonymous pet lover who tried to set the record straight once and for all. I wish everyone good luck in tr y ing to train t heir pets. One word of advice – the pets are also training you, and they always win for one simple reason – they never give up! You may think that they are coming around to your way of thinking, but in reality, they have you right where t hey wa nt you – giving them exactly what they want and need every minute of every day!

is not a racetrack. Beating me to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn’t help because I fall faster than you can run. I cannot buy anything bigger than a king-sized b e d . I a m v er y s or r y about this. Do not think I will continue sleeping on the couch to ensure your comfort. Dogs and c at s c a n ac t ua l ly c u rl up in a ba ll when t hey sleep. It is not necessary to sleep per pend icu la r to each other stretched out to the fullest extent possible. I also know that st ick i ng t a i l s st r a ig ht out and having tongues ha ng i ng out t he ot her end to maximize space is nothing but sarcasm. For t he la st t i me, there is not a secret exit f rom t he bat h room. If by some miracle I beat you t here a nd ma nage to get the door shut, it is not necessa r y to claw, whine, meow, and try to turn the knob or get your paw under the edge and try to pull the door open. I must exit through the same door I entered. Also, I have been usi ng t he bathroom for years canine or feline attendance is not mandatory. T he proper order is kiss me, then go smell the other dog or cat’s butt. I cannot stress this enough! Arlo Kallemeyn Pet Lov ing Shopper Publisher

Pet Rules To be posted VERY LOW on the refrigerator door nose height. Dear Dogs and Cats: The dishes w it h t he paw prints are yours and contain your food. The other dishes are mine and contain my food. Please note, placing a paw print in the middle of my plate of food does not sta ke a claim for it becoming your food and dish, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing in the slightest.

The Leading Edge

Email Leadership? RENEE N. HALE, DSL How many messages a re i n you r i nbox? Do you sort, file, delete and respond da i ly? Ma ny aspects of life and work are dealt with via email; what about leadership? W hen leader s need to c om mu n i c a t e t o g i v e direction, make decisions, or in other ways to relate to col leag ues, is ema i l appropriate? Maybe you have received email from a supervisor or colleague that made your day—or, just the opposite, crushed you. Conversely, you may have sent the same! Email in the context of leadership is useful when it’s caref ully crafted in style, vocabulary, length, a nd pu r pose. Create a direct subject line, greet t he recipient by na me ; ta ke t ime to choose accurate and respectful words, keep it under 200 words, and make sure the purpose is clear. Check out a basic email etiquette resource, such as w w w. bu si ne s si n sider.c om . Here a re pr i nciples to remember: Ema i l is f i ne for distributing information to a l a r ge nu m b er of p e o p l e q u i c k l y, f o r del iver i ng elect ron ic documents, for establishing a “paper trail” of communication when required, for getting in touch with someone who is not readily ava ilable by phone or in person, and for brief one on one exchange. However, email i s not appropr iate for long, complicated issues

t hat re qu i re ex tende d discussion. Do not handle confidential matters via ema il because ema il is never private. One does not cont rol where a nd when the email message goes a f ter cl ick i ng t he “send” but ton. A lso, i f you wou ld n’t say it to a person face to face, don’t say it in an email me s s a ge. E mot ion a l l y cha r ge d me s s a ge s a re of ten misconst r ued and can lead to serious consequences. Email is admissible evidence in a court of law. It’s easy to see how e m a i l c a n “ b a c k f i r e” on a leader— a f ter a l l, there’s so much that can be m isu nderstood or i nadver tent ly lef t out ! That’s why it’s important to be intentiona l about writing email. Beware of messages received late in the day marked “urgent”— you don’t need to respond by 5 p.m.! Schedule a time early in the day to write or respond to messages that require your opinion, decision or authorization. Save t hem for a t i me. Re-read and revise. Save again if needed. Are you 100 % comfortable w it h what you are saying? Only t hen shou ld you cl ick “send”. D r. Re n é e N.

Treasured Letters From The Past MARJORIE ALICE DEVRIES To t a l D a r k n e s s . That’s what you see w hen you r bu n k i s at t he bot tom of a boat. I’v e e x p e r ie nc e d t h i s once in my life, and I felt li ke I was su f focat ing. For t u n atel y for me, I was on a houseboat, and cou ld simply open t he door and turn on some lights. And maybe grab a cookie from the snack pile to calm myself down. But not so, for t he soldiers aboa rd t he SS Peter Silvester. Let’s continue on with the epic W W II letter of Sgt. Lewis Haan: We ll , a ll th e w ork being done by noon of the 31st day of December, we shoved off and I saw the last of the United States. Well anyway, we started out to sea again and it was very hot around the equator there, so we never wore more than just shoes, socks and pants, and we were also all as tan as the mules from the hot sun. We were 10 days out of Melbourne, and it was about 1000 miles f rom the place I am at now. Something else I’d better tell you right away is that the Army fellas all slept and lived in a hole in the bottom of the ship, and everybody else, including Merchant Marine, Sailors and Officers all slept on top

of the ship, but we were in a compartment below deck. Well, after the days’ work , we always went down to our hole where we lived and cleaned up and drink cokes and eat cookies, play records on the phonograph machine or write letters or something, and this particular night we were all sitting around the tables. I was sitting in a corner with about 5 or 6 other fellas and we were talking. In about 5 minutes we were going to bed because it was about 10:30 already. All of the sudden came the most terrif ic expl osion I’ve ever h e a rd in a ll m y life ! It shook and rolled the ship something terrible, and it almost rolled her over on it’s side and capsized. All the lights went out and we were all laying sprawled all over the floor half unconscious…To be continued… Marjorie Alice DeVries is a f reela nce w r iter devoted to sha ring t he priceless treasure of war letters, each one a unique w indow into a life that once was.
