Illinois Law Now!

Question: Do I need a revocable living trust? Answer: A living trust is a legal document you create which bypasses the costly and time-consuming process of probate. It is often used by those with complex financial and personal circumstances. A living trust is not for everyone. The best decision comes from carefully weighing the pros and cons based on your personal situation in consultation with an estate planning attorney. Question: Someone dumped a pile of used car tires and other debris on one of my properties. Is removing it my responsibility? Answer: Under Illinois’ Opening Dumping laws, the landowner is responsible for all open dumping on his or her property, even if the owner didn’t do the dumping or had any knowledge of who dumped the debris on the site. Question: What laws exist to protect kids against Internet predators? Answer: The federal Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), created to help protect kids online, is designed to keep anyone from obtaining a child’s personal information without a parent knowing about it. COPPA requires websites to explain their privacy policies on the site and get parental consent before collecting or using a child’s personal information, such as a name, address, phone number or Social Security number. The law also prohibits a site from requiring a child to provide more personal information than necessary to play a game or participate in a contest. For more information about Illinois law, visit www. illinoislawyerfinder.com. If you have a legal question, send it to illinoislawcolumn@isba.org.

Water Features, Garden Displays To Inspire Guests At Annual Pond Expo

Chainsaw carvings, wind twirlers, stone bird houses, and fire rock candles patio décor are just a few of the many new exhibits that guests will encounter at the 12th Annual Waterscape Weekend Garden and Pond Expo, scheduled from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. April 27-28 at the Lake County Fairgrounds, 889 S. Court St. Sponsored by the Illiana Garden and Pond Society, the expo is an event set to inspire visitors to take backyards and landscaping to the next level and mesmerize others with incredible displays showcased by water features, lighting and garden experts. “This show is a real destination for outdoor enthusiasts from all over the Midwest,” said Illiana Garden Pond Society Expo Chair Kathy Bartley. “Visitors to our show learn how to turn their backyards into their own sanctuaries. They might just want to add a few beautiful plants or a small koi pond, or build a meandering stream, but all of

their resources are here, right under one roof.” Other new exhibits to be featured this year include garden inspired jewelry, glass and copper dragonflies, yard art from recycled materials and hand crafted benches for the patio. Water gardeners and aquarium hobbyists are invited to participate in a federally funded research survey for the IL/IN Sea Grant to develop a campaign to protect the Great Lakes of aquatic invasive species. Vendors will also sell fish, equipment for the water gardeners, plants including aquatics, garden decor, ironworks, gourd decor, lighting and irrigation options, hot tubs, and anything related to gardens and outdoor living enhancements. In addition to vendors, visitors can connect with many local not-for-profit organizations that will be exhibiting, including garden clubs that will be advertising their upcoming garden

IT mike buder I’ve never met anyone who likes doing IT…IT is not difficult. But IT is messy…IT is not expensive. But IT is time consuming… home sellers hate doing IT. Home buyers hate IT even more…a few serious home sellers will do IT – but most will not (and then wonder why their house isn’t selling)…home buyers will typically choose a house where IT doesn’t have to be done…what is IT? Care to guess? IT is a dreaded home improvement project hated by most...do you know what IT is? “IT” is removing wallpaper. If you’re interested in making your home irresistible to buyers and you have dated wallpaper, then you should really do IT whether you like IT or not. Today’s choosy homebuyers prefer a home that is move-in ready and they tend to bypass homes that require updates. It is very difficult to live with someone else’s old dated wallpaper selection, so it will be well worth the time and effort spent removing it. I know you don’t want to, but remember, your buyers won’t want to either. Some sellers may prefer to hire a

professional to remove the old wallpaper and paint the walls. However, removing wallpaper is one of those inexpensive projects that many homeowners can take on themselves. Some wallpaper can be stripped dry. Others require a removal solution. If there is going to be any damage to the wall, it will come from the way the wallpaper was initially installed. It is not just that it is work to do, but it will take your time and physical effort. Stripping, scraping, patching, cleaning, and painting – all “ing” words that sound like a lot of effort. But it’s going to be worth it when buyers come into your house with their own “ing” word as in BUYING!

Ninth Annual Illinois Emerging Writers Competition Secretary of State and State Librarian Jesse White announced today that entry forms are available for the ninth annual Illinois Emerging Writers Competition Gwendolyn Brooks Poetry Award. “We created the Illinois Emerging Writers Competition to promote creative writing and provide a new outlet for talented, unpublished writers,” White said. “Great poems have the ability to enrich and enhance our lives, and I am looking forward to discovering talented new poets with this year’s competition.” The competition is named in honor of the late Pulitzer Prize-winning Illinois Poet Laureate Gwendolyn Brooks, and is co-sponsored by the Illinois Center for the Book and Kevin Stein, who succeeded Brooks

as Illinois Poet Laureate. The competition is open to Illinois residents age 18 and over. Entries must be postmarked by June 30, 2013. Cash prizes will be awarded for first ($500) second ($300) and third place ($100) and winning poems will be submitted for possible publication in the Ninth Letter, RHINO, and Quiddity magazines and Poetic License Press publications. Winners will read their poems and receive their prizes at a ceremony later this year at the Illinois State Library in Springfield. Forms and other information may be found at www.cyberdriveillinois.com. For more information, contact Illinois Center for the Book Coordinator Bonnie Matheis at 217558-2065 or bmatheis@ilsos.net.

Listens to the People

As a District 205 alumnus, I would like to bring you good news from District 205. While serving as a board member for 205, I chaired the Curriculum Committee bringing Employment-Ready College Credit programs in fields of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM). These programs prepare students for employment upon graduation from high school as well as provide college credits prior to entering college.

President Obama endorsed this concept in his 2013 State of the Union Address stating, “Right now, countries like Germany focus on graduating their high school students with the equivalent of a technical degree from one of our community colleges, so those German kids, they’re ready for a job when they graduate from high school.” -President Barack Obama

Spokes person for the People

Since college credits can be used towards an advanced degree, we expect all of our students to continue on and complete college. We’ve implemented a number of these programs. They are as follows:

• Established the Certified Nursing Assistant Program (C.N.A.) with South Suburban College, a prerequisite for Registered Nursing.

• Partnered with the University of Illinois, Chicago State University, South Suburban College

on Coaliti r Builde Hard Worker

• Graduate of Thornridge, South Suburban College and Univ. of Illinois • South Holland School District 150, Head School Nurse • Member of Christ 1st Baptist • Former Teacher, New Covenant Christian Academy • Former President, Harvey Little League • Strong CHRISTIAN LEADER fighting for our children

PUNCH #162

and CVS Pharmacy offering certification for Pharmacy Technician, a prerequisite to becoming a Pharmacist. • Began the Navistar Diesel Engineering Program. This certification can lead to a degree in engineering. • Restarted Construction Trades in electrical, plumbing, masonry, roofing, blueprint reading and building. • Partnered with Ingalls, Metro South Med Center, Bud’s Ambulance Service along with the communities of Dolton, Phoenix and Hazel Crest to offer Emergency Medical Technician Paramedic Certification. • Initiated the groundwork for Nano science Technology with the Illinois Institute of Technology.

Lansing Public Library Spreads The Love Of Reading World Book Night is a celebration of reading and books which will see tens of thousands of people share books with others in their communities across America, the U.K. and Ireland to spread the joy and love of reading on April 23. This date was chosen in honor of the death date of Cervantes. It is also the birth as well as the death date of Shakespeare. This night is dedicated to the hope that people who don’t read much or not at all will become inspired by one book and to go on to read more. There will be volunteer “Givers” strategically placed throughout the

Village of Lansing specifically to hand out copies of books to non readers to help them get started on their journey into the world of books. We are excited to announce that Lansing Public Library has been selected to be one of the volunteer book pick up points across America. World Book Night “Givers” can pick up their books on April 17 from 6:00p.m. – 7:00p.m. in the Conference Room at the Lansing Public Library 2750 Indiana Avenue Lansing IL 60438

The Aliveness Project Outreach Initiative An underdog of the health community,the Aliveness Projectis making efforts to raise awareness, get attention and support those affected by HIV/AIDS by launching a community outreach mission because of a decline in northwest Indiana’s population receiving services. Live Long, Live Strong is the initiative community outreach mission that has recently been launched for the year 2013 to assess the prevention, transmission, treatment and advocacy of HIV/ AIDS. The action plan seeks to create fundraisers, newsletters, educational presentations and support groups to gain the visability needed to reach all

individuals living in the serviced counties of Lake, Porter, La Porte, Newton, Jasper and Pulaski, a total of 840,000 people. “I want to reach everyone, I even want to have art shows for children to educate them as well,” Arlene Lyons said. The Aliveness Project of NWI has been struggling to raise awareness for many years due to the type of services that they provide. “I believe people don’t want to get tested because of the stigma. Everybody thinks that if they get tested and are positive with HIV that their lives are over but that is not the case. We are here to help people prevent contracting the disease and to assure those that have it

that life does go on,” Jason Clayton said. The Aliveness Project of NWI is located in Merrillville, Ind. Its primary goals are to ensure the continuity of care, to promote self sufficiency and to enhance the quality of life for consumers affected by HIV/AIDS free of charge. HIV Counseling and testing, food and clothing pantry, case management services, transportation, support groups and free condoms are just a few of the services that Aliveness Project offers. For free HIV counseling and testing call 219-985-6170 or visit The Aliveness Project of Northwest Indiana, Inc. at 5490 Broadway, Suite L-3 Merrillville, Ind. 46410.

Life Coaching dee collins Dunamis Woman & RAM Empowerment Segment: Pursue! Pursue! Pursue! This power word of the week is designed to challenge you in areas of your soul that will deracinate roots that have grown to block your blessings. These roots are not only blocking your blessings, but causing life challenges that you thought were flushed out of your mind such as; frustration, resentment, bitterness, and isolation to come up and spill over and affect other areas of your life. Hebrews 12:14 Pursue peace with all people and holiness without which no one will see the Lord: 15) looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up causes trouble, and by this many become defiled. As a Life Strategist & Financial Coach, I want to provoke people to pursue peace with people, so we can live life harmoniously. This kind of peace, peace that is beyond your understanding, is necessary with people that get on your nerves, irritable you and annoy you. It is a kind of peace that will cause your pride to be annihilated and humble you to a place of exaltation. Remember, it is your

enemies that cause you to prosper. Not your external enemies, but the enemies that reside with your soul. People are simply tools to ruffle your feathers and give you indicators that you need to address your enemies. Pursue requires you to break through barriers for great success. Pursue causes you to press pass your pain that have built walls of self-protection with your soul. Pursue empowers you to find pleasure in someone that you thought was designed to hold you back yet they will launch you forward. Pursue means to follow in order to overtake, capture, kill, or defeat (Webster Dictionary). It’s time for you to pursue you. The “You” that you have never met! I admonish all to pursue peace with all people and allow healing streams to uproot all roots of bitterness, resentment, and frustrations that block your flow of blessings.

Girl Scout Troop Finds New Ways to Recycle Dyer Girl Scout Troop 10240 visited the Environmental Education Center in Hammond and learned new ways to recycle items in their community on Monday. The EEC is operated by the Lake County Solid Waste Management District as an extension of a classroom environment where students can learn useful ways to recycle common household items. The EEC showcased all the recycled items utilized in the building including tables that were donated from a wood guitar factory, tile floors made of recycled windshields and wall paper made from juice boxes. “The building is a great example of what the Girl Scouts would like to do with community projects by using odd items to make unique additions to common projects” said troop leader Brigid Daugharty. “We spend so much money on fun crafts that our girls can do but by utilizing this facility any nonprofit organization will be able to save so much money.” For the Girl Scouts, saving money on material such as crayons, jars for planting and other craft making material is important especially when dealing with a limited budget. “This allows us to spend funds in other areas that may capture the interest of future Girl Scouts,” Daugharty added. The facility located at 2405 Calumet Ave. has a working

material. “Our troop was educated on ways to find material such as recycled paints that we could use in our projects,” Daugharty stated while her Girl Scouts made Easter cards made of reused material. “This is showing us several ways to reduce, reuse and recycle.” The collection of used crayons caught the attention of the troop as they entered the kitchen area that includes reused cabinets. The crayons are being collected in an attempt to beat the world record for largest crayon. Interested parties looking to donate material for reuse should clean all items, sort and stack items. You can check the website lcswmd.com for all items accepted by the EEC. Parties interested in going to the EEC for field trip can also check the website for educational information and can also request material that a class or whole grade level would use for all students. Dyer Girl Scout Troop is willing to help those who cannot transport material by offering a free transportation of all cleaned recyclable material. The Girl Scouts can be contacted at DyerGirlScouts240@gmail.com.

I love South Holland because it has great quality of life, provides high levels of essential public services, is fiscally responsible and celebrates its diversity. It’s true that it takes a village to raise a child, and this village gives all its children a great head start toward success in life. It’s been my pleasure as Township Supervisor to work with Mayor De Graff and his team on joint projects, and we’re all better for it.

(Never known to fail.) Oh, most beautiful flower of Mt. Carmel, fruitful vine, splendor of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the Son of God, Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity. Oh, Star of the Sea, help me and show me, herein you are my mother. Oh Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth!

Oh Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee (3x). Holy Mother, I place this cause in your hands (3x). Holy Spirit, you who solve all problems, light all roads so that I can attain my goal. You who gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget all evil against me and that in all instances in my life you are with me. I want in this short prayer to thank you for all things as you confirm once again that I never want to be separated from you in Eternal Glory. Thank you for your mercy toward me and mine.

Why are our Local Officials Misleading our Community?

We need Leaders that are concerned about Our Village!!!!

•Have you seen more full-time police officers on the street? NO We have a grant for 3 new officers that have not been used. WHY • Did your property taxes increase? YES When the Village of Dolton keeps taking properties off the tax roll, we the property owners are affected. • Have you seen anyone buying those new homes placed throughout the community? NO Losing business and building new homes or businesses without anyone in them makes our taxes go up. • Do you know the financial state of the Village of Dolton? NO They have not reported to the Illinois Comptroller since fiscal year 2009. WHY?

Accountability – Honesty – Integrity

Let’s Shine the Light on the REAL PROBLEMS of our Village. New Face, New Voice, New Vision Dolton’s TEAM 2013

• Making sure that the community is safe • Promoting Block clubs, police officers and Trustee relationships • Developing liaisons and resources with surrounding communities and township • Enforcing housing ordinances and holding landlords, banks and ghost owners accountable • Bringing economic opportunities and business back to our town • Seeking ways to beautify our village • Becoming financially sustainable as a village

We are concerned about not only addressing the needs of today’s residents, but also planning for the future.

They have put us on the right track for the future, and have the business experience to continue the positive movement for Lansing.” - Ben P. “As the Hispanic population has grown in Lansing over the past few years, Mayor Abbott has been working to help us integrate into the community. He has shown us that he values the diversity of Lansing by opening the doors of communication and addressing our concerns.” - Delia D.

SYNOPSIS: The G.I. Joes are not only fighting their mortal enemy Cobra; they are forced to contend with threats from within the government that jeopardize their very existence. REVIEW: We open with the briefest of reintroductions – though the only two members of the G.I. Joe squad making a return from the first is Channing Tatum‘s Duke and a big rubber suit with Ray Park inside as Snake Eyes. Duke is shown getting all bromanc-y with The Rock (Roadblock) to the point of playing video games and tickling his kids. Then he’s killed during the first battle, the one where the President of the United States (Jonathan Pryce) orders a hit to take out all the Joes. Don’t worry, it’s not the real president but master of disguise Zartan of Cobra – the ruthless terrorist organization determined to rule the world! But before they can do that, they’ve got to get the band back together. This means sending in the ninja Storm Shadow to the underground bunker holding Cobra Commander and Destro. Now, with a proxy in the White House and access to all the nuke codes and the secret orbiting satellites of “Project Zeus,” Cobra can go before the leaders of the

“As Americans, we have witnessed financial mismanagement at multiple levels, from the federal government to the state general assembly. I’m proud, as a lifelong Lansing resident, to see that Mayor Abbott and the Trustees of Lansing have made tough choices regarding fiscal responsibility and I trust they will commit to making those choices if elected for the next four years.” - Jeff W.

world and force them to bow to their will. But… not so fast. Three members of the G.I. Joe team (Roadblock, Adrianne Palicki as Lady Jaye, filling in for Rachel Nichols’ Scarlet, and D.J. Cotrona as Flint) survive the sneak attack, plus somewhere out there is Snake Eyes and his ladyfriend Jinx. In time, they are able to suss out that the White House is being controlled by bad guys plus they hook up with Bruce Willis, a heavily armed retired Joe that asks to be called Joe. There are, to be sure, moments of joy in the film. A centerpiece action sequence at a monastery atop a cliff that involves Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow and lots of red-suited cannon fodder zipping across mountains is quite engaging, as is virtually any moment when The Rock fires a humongous gun. The Rock is, no question, a charisma machine, the uncontested heir apparent to Schwarzenegger, and when he pursues Ray Stevenson’s Firefly (whose secret weapons are exploding fireflies) in a tank, on foot and then on a boat is something of an energy surge. Unfortunately, there’s a lot of dead space between these moments. The film may win some over by tapping into the nostalgia of a ten year old boy in the back yard playing with his action figures. However, as in those afternoon sessions in the grass, there’s no sense of an authorial hand. The plotting is scattershot, evoking a tale told by a child who is making it up as he goes along. The big showdown and nefarious revelation, while devilishly hammed up by Jonathan Pryce, is just too preposterous to understand, let alone take seriously.

On a scale of 1-10, I give this one a 5 My 2¢ -B

Thornton Township Salutes Women of Honor

Thornton Township paid tribute to five special women in celebration of Women’s History Month during their annual Women of Honor Brunch held last week. Those recognized were: Karen Adams, Dorothy Brown, Maria Macias, Robin Robinson, and Magdalena “Leni” Wosczynski. Thornton Township Supervisor Frank Zuccarelli praised the women for the significant impact they have had. “These women will continue to impact lives for many years to come. They set great examples for all of us to follow,” he said. Serving as a volunteer for the Lansing Community Pantry for the past 12 years has been one of her greatest joys for Karen Adams. Lansing has provided food to those in need for the past 30 years through the pantry. Adams became co-chair of the pantry in 2005. The Lansing resident is also a volunteer diver for the Caribbean Reef exhibit at the Shedd Aquarium, which she started doing at the age of 60. “I’m humbled when I see the response of people who receive something as simple as a birthday bag that the local children donate,” she said. “Don’t ever think you’re too old to do really cool stuff and make a difference.” Adams and her husband, Dave, have four children and eight grandchildren. Dorothy Brown (Cook) learned the value of hard work early in life helping her family pick and chop cotton on the family cotton farm. Brown worked as a CPA before being elected as the Clerk of the Circuit Court of Cook County in 2000. Under her leadership major products and services to aid consumers have included: electronic filing, an online traffic ticket payment system, mortgage surplus search, smart forms, and court information terminals. She has made it her mission to revolutionize the operation of the circuit court. Five areas of focus are: bringing in 21st Century Technology, streamlining operational efficiency, improving customer service, continual employee training, and developing financial accountability. Brown is married to Dr. Benton Cook III and has one daughter. Harvey resident Maria Macias was born in Mexico and later immigrated to the United States. She and her husband, Javier, have two daughters and one son. She began volunteering for School District 151 when her children started school. Macias took English as a Second Language classes at South Suburban College and later became a U.S. citizen. She was an active volunteer until she accepted a job at Taft Primary Center. She also served as a catechism instructor at St. John Church. Macias is the founder of Youth Mexican Folklore Dance Group and teaches children from throughout the township traditional Mexican folk music and dancing “It is not important what language you speak or what your profession is as long as you do your very best. Be a humanitarian, the rest does not matter,” she said. WLFD TV news anchor Robin Robinson has always loved Chicago calling it exciting and enlightening. She began her career in 1979 as a reporter in San Diego and later worked at a Denver station before returning to Chicago in 1984 and joining WBBM-TV as a consumer reporter and later as weekend

news anchor before coming to WFLD-TV. Robinson is also active in Sisters Peak, a collective mentoring program for sixtheighth grade girls, Clara’s House Shelter for homeless women and children, and Orchard Village which serves adults with development disabilities. She believes that all children can be saved and that they will the ones who will one day save us. “Every time I see anyone’s child realize that they are doing something they love and succeeding at it, it’s unforgettable,” she said. Calumet City 2nd Ward Alderwoman Magdalena “Leni” Wosczynski immigrated to the United States from Yugoslavia with her family. Recognizing the value of freedom led her to become involved in politics more than 36 years ago. As alderwoman Wosczynski has been instrumental in sponsoring

and organizing community health fairs, holiday food and toy drives, anti-gang and crime prevention programs and building code enforcement. Since 1993 Wosczynski has served as director of transportation for the township. Since then under Supervisor Zuccarelli and Wosczynski’s guiding hand the transportation fleet has grown from one bus to ten and service has been expanded. Wosczynski is also an active member of St. Andrew Church. Her most memorable moments were meeting her husband, Donald, and the births of her daughters and her grandson. “If you want to make something of yourself, the United States is a country of so many opportunities,” Wosczynski said. “Make the most of them.” Assorted rugs (from throw rugs to room size rugs) $10$100; decorative wall pictures $10-$25 each. 708-481-6907

Former Schoolteacher Uses YMCA To Continue Teaching Career Dave Clayton finds his job a mix of challenges both old and new. The schoolteacher now runs the sports and fitness activities at the Crossroads YMCA Hammond Branch. Clayton is not back in the classroom, but he finds himself teaching in a familiar environment. Clayton, 28, has been program director since last September. He graduated from Crown Point High School in 2003 and earned a degree in secondary education social studies from Indiana University Bloomington in 2008. Between January 2008 and June 2011, he taught at schools in Martinsville, Cedar Lake and Crown Point. He sees his work at the YMCA as a continuation of his teaching career. “Instead of me just helping kids out – youth basketball programs and stuff – I know a little bit more of the teaching aspect side of it –molding the kids into overall good people and trying to be there for them whenever and however I can.” But he also knows the program aspect. According to Dave Mays, whom Clayton replaced as program director, he and Mays began work at the Southlake Family YMCA when they were both 16. Clayton said, before working there, he participated in YMCA programs. He played in the basketball program and especially enjoyed working out in the weight room. “The YMCA was a major part of my life. It always has been,” he said.

In July 2012, he became building supervisor for the Crossroads YMCA Hammond Branch and soon became program director. “I thought it was going to be the easiest job in the world – and it’s not the most difficult – but let me tell you: it is a lot different from what I thought it was going to be.” Clayton directs everything from children’s programs to adult sports. While past jobs prepared him for a classroom of 30 middle- or high-school children, his work now involves more people and more age groups.

rely on him. “He’s been here since September; he hasn’t missed one day of work yet,” Mays said. Mays, now the senior program director, said he and Clayton are long-time friends. They have known each other since their early years in school. They graduated at the same time from Crown Point High School, and Clayton was the best man at Mays’s wedding. Mays credited Clayton with the growth of the Men’s Basketball League, which now includes eight teams. Under Clayton, the branch has for the first time held a five-week strength training class for 12- to 14-year-olds and has begun a Wii Bowling League. With dependability come friendships. Clayton has formed a particularly good friendship with Ken Staniszewski of East Chicago. Clayton said he met Staniszewski the first day at his job. Staniszewski said he comes to the YMCA several times each week and can tell an improvement in his health. Clayton said Staniszewski chose to try the Wii bowling program because of the friendship between them. Staniszewski admitted that he was initially skeptical of Wii bowling. “Ken comes along and says, ‘Hey, I’ll pay and I’ll be one of the first in the Wii Bowling League because I believe in you and we’re friends – want to help you out and want to see you succeed,’” Clayton said. Staniszewski said Clayton’s work at the YMCA is inspiring. “Dave is the type of guy you want on your team; he can get your team going.” Mattress, full set, $110; cabinet, oak, 23x58, $40; table lamp, gray base, $40; microwave, black /chrome, $50.

Representation The mayor is an elected official and, as such, serves as the chief representative of the people. In meetings with the city council, the mayor must take into account his role as the chief representative and keep the needs of the people in mind. Establishing Laws The mayor, with the input of the city council, is also responsible for establishing laws that are meant to benefit the people of the community. The way in which this process is carried out varies from town to town. Typically, it is the city council that puts forth proposals at meetings that are then voted on by the council members. In

most towns, the mayor has the power to veto resolutions passed by the council. The council usually has the power to override a mayor’s veto. Appointing Officials Some towns have government officials who are not elected by the people. Mayors are responsible for appointing these officials to their posts. The mayor appoints officials such as the fire chief, and the chief of police. Presiding Officer The mayor also serves as the chief presiding officer in city council meetings. The mayor uses the predetermined agenda to keep the meeting moving along toward completion. When issues need to be debated among council members, the mayor serves as the one who recognizes council members to speak and ensures that the meeting is moving along at a pace that is conducive to accomplishing city business. Administrative Duties The mayor also takes care of various administrative duties. These can include a wide variety of tasks. In some cases, the mayor signs contracts on behalf of the city and secures professional services when needed. The mayor may also sign various permits and licenses as needed by the members of the community. Don’t be silent on April 9 – Go vote and make a difference in your quality of life!

Nordikids Spring Program

GOD WITH US

www.myshopper.biz/columnists/

Afterthoughts Anna M. Caison

Sunday, April 28th, is the date of Nordikids Spring program. Nordikids is a Culture Education club that strives to preserve and celebrate the traditions and customs of the Scandinavian countries. Members range in age from 3 years up through 21. The group meets every Monday evening during the school year, for language lessons (Swedish) and to enjoy singing, folk dancing, crafts and literature. Members perform in traditional folk costumes of the Nordic countries. Nordikids is sponsored in part, by Vasa Order of America and is affiliated with the Nordik Folk lodge of Munster.

This year’s Spring Program will be held at Westminster Presbyterian Church – SOUTH HALL, located at 8955 Columbia Ave. in Munster (across the street from Community Hospital). The event runs from 12:30pm through 4:30pm and will include a social hour with craft sales, children’s games, door prizes and drawings. The doors open at 12:30 with the Children’s performance at 1:30, followed by a Buffet featuring Swedish meatballs and other traditional foods. Reservations are required and the cost is $15-adults/$8-children 10 and under. Call Lynda Smith at 219-9238777 for information.

Altrusa Donates To Library For Children’s Activity Cube

Another Easter (Resurrection) Sunday has come and gone. The props from the plays have been taken down, and the children’s speeches have been filed away till next year’s presentation. But if we look with our spiritual eyes we will see the message of the gospel with all its drama and passion re-played every day of the year. And each of us (both Christian and non-Christian) plays a starring role in the ongoing production. Some will play the role of Judas Iscariot (the pseudo-disciple), Pilate (the politically correct politician), and the Roman Soldiers (just following orders). Many will play the role of the crowd who waved palm branches shouting “Hosanna! Hosanna!” one day and a few days later cried “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!” These players have no love for the risen Christ. When Christianity supports a cause that they can profit from they shout “Hosanna!” But when it exposes the true intentions of their heart they shout “Crucify Him!” The disciples, a motley group of men (and women) at various stages of growth will be played by new converts, the immature and the growing saints. Throughout their training they will experience fear and courage, failures and successes, doubts and spurts of faith, but never betrayal in their pursuit to follow Him. Four utility trailer tires, used $50; kitchen and bathroom cabinets, slightly used, $20 ea. 773-805-3595 Ridgid ratcheting pipe t h re a d e r, 1 / 2 ” $ 5 0 ; Armstrong receding pipe threader, $50. 708-271-0387

Another group will be cast to play the role of the Religious Leaders. They excel in theoretical knowledge of the scriptures but lack an experiential relationship with God. They confine Him to their self-conceived box of traditions and point of view. Anyone not lining up with their way of thinking is a heretic and must be discredited and stopped. And then there’s the role of Jesus. Every true believer who desires to please the Father will walk in His shoes. They’ll give up their evenings to share the gospel with those who’re thirsty for Jesus. They will give up their rights for the sake of the lost who need to see Jesus in them. They will joyfully partake in the sufferings of Christ, thereby enjoying intimate fellowship with Him. God’s love and forgiveness is clearly seen in their life. What’s your role in the ongoing gospel story? Perhaps you’re like Barabbas— scheduled to die, but at the last minute received a stay of execution. Scripture doesn’t say what Barabbas did with his life after being released. What will you do with yours? For questions and/or comments, send an email to acaison@sbcglobal.net . Or you can write me at: Anna Caison, c/o New Community Church, 14801 Lincoln Ave., Dolton, IL 60419.

Two New Exhibitions On Display This April The Art & Design Department of South Suburban College is pleased to present two unique exhibitions in galleries on the Main Campus in April. First, a solo exhibition of art works from Chicago-based artist Dawn Brennan titled “Climate Change.” The exhibition will be on display in the Lee E. Dulgar Gallery from April 1st through 19th with an artist reception to be held on April 17th at 12 noon. Dawn Brennan holds an M.F.A. from the University of Chicago and a B.F.A. from the Kansas City Art Institute, Kansas City, Missouri. She currently teaches at the Hyde Park Art Center in Chicago. Her work has been featured in numerous exhibitions around the Chicago area. Inspired by fractal images, paint-by-numbers, science fiction, and the American Southwest, Brennan’s recent paintings explore landscape both as a product of the mind and as a realm beyond it. The exhibition also features stoneware figures, which developed out of the paintings. And, like the paintings, they exhibit natural forms such as rocks, trees, the human body, its gestures and movements, as an attempt to express the connectedness of all nature. Additionally, Nancy Frazier and Cecily Hunt have curated an exhibition entitled “Into Bhutan” which will be on display from April 1st through April 23rd in the college’s Dorothea Thiel and Photo 4 Galleries. The artists’ reception will be held on April

“Climate Change” is an exhibition by Dawn Brennan on display in the Dulgar Gallery at South Suburban College. ____________________________________________

22nd at 11:30 a.m. Following a life-changing trip to Bhutan in March-April,

Youth Theater Ensemble Presents Hilarious Comedy The Towle Theater is elated to announce the continuation of their blossoming education department, the Towle Youth Theater Ensemble with The Laughing Stock. The young performers will take to the stage on Apr. 5-6, 13 at 8 p.m. Laughing Stock, written by Charles Morey, is a comically embellished representation of backstage charades and allows the audience a sneak peek into the wacky world of the theatre. The production is set in The Playhouse, a New England summer theatre. When The Playhouse schedules an ambitious season packed full with Dracula, Hamlet and Charley’s Aunt, comic mayhem arises. The young actors exaggerate these endeavors in the well-intentioned, but overly zealous company with outrageous auditions and egodriven rehearsals. The Laughing Stock wraps up with the opening nights gone disastrously awry to the elation of a great play perfectly executed and reminiscing of the season’s close. Tickets are $10. The Towle is holding an encore showing of The Laughing Stock in conjunction with the Hammond Rotary on Thursday, April 11 at 7 p.m. Tickets for this event are $50. This is a fundraiser for the Catherine McAuley Clinic in Hammond. Funds raised will help the clinic’s volunteer staff members provide medical and referral services with low cost to Northwest Indiana residents in need. Refreshments are included

in the ticket price. A cash bar and silent auction will also be present the night of the event. The concept behind The Towle Youth Theater Ensemble is to allow the youth participation in theater production, but not necessarily a role in each show presented. With the diverse range of talent selected to be in TYTE, the Ensemble is cast from on-stage, technical, administrative and marketing duties as appropriate. The overall mission is to build a team of theater artists and leaders, not just actors. It is the goal of this program to encourage participation in the overall process of creating theater, not just being in a particular show. The Towle staff believes that this process will bring more value to the participants, to their creative process and ultimately to each production. The Towle holds auditions twice a year and will be seeking enthusiastic students with the most drive, dedication and commitment to the Ensemble as a whole. The Towle Theater is located in historic downtown Hammond at 5205 Hohman Avenue. Free, well-lit, secured parking is available off of Fayette Street only steps away from the back entrance or in the newly completed parking lot directly across the street from the theater on Hohman Avenue. For more information on purchasing season tickets, please visit www.towletheater.org or call the box office at 219-937-8780.

2010, Nancy Frazier and Cecily Hunt developed a compelling desire to share what they had seen, and, more importantly, what they had felt. They wanted to share the Bhutanese way of being and to create an exhibit in which there is space for transformation and self-realization. There was so much to heighten the senses in Bhutan–mountain breezes on the skin, the rich aroma of burning incense, the spicy tang of chilies and cheese, the vibration of chanting monks and deep horns, vibrant or fading prayer flags snapping in the wind–but also an invitation to deepen, to explore within, to connect with and live your spirituality. It is their intention, their hope that the viewer of this work will also open to something new within. The public is welcome to visit art exhibitions and receptions at no charge. The Dulgar Gallery is on the first floor near the Atrium and is open Monday through Thursday from 9:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m., and Fridays from 9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. The Dorothea Thiel and Photo 4 Galleries are located on the 4th Floor and are open Monday through Thursday from 9:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m., and Fridays from 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. The galleries are closed on weekends and holidays. The galleries are supported in part by the SSC Foundation. SSC is located at 15800 South State Street, South Holland, Illinois.

Lottery Winners and Losers arlo kallemeyn If you are reading this, it probably means you didn’t will the Powerball lottery last week. Private gambling like NCAA office pools are illegal, but government sponsored gambling is legal - and encouraged with TV commercials every night on the evening news. Gambling is illegal unless the government runs the game. Governor Quinn has even encouraged more people to buy more lottery tickets to support education. A generation ago, people would never even think about using dollars from immoral behavior to benefit children. Now it’s viewed as normal. What’s next – legalizing all illegal behavior so the government can tax it? The ends justify the means – which is typical behavior in Illinois. Here are some comments from some others who did not win. Some of the comments were hilarious, others honest. Here are the top 10 picks: 10) Maggy: “I guess 1,2,3,4,5 with a Mega ball of 6 was a bad choice?” 9) Steve: “Oh well I was going to split it with all the Yahoo comment posters Maybe next week.” 8) Brian: “Guess I told my boss ‘to shove it’ a

little earlier than I should have...” 7) Gracie: “I won Ten Dollars, please no phone calls.” 6) Queenie: “Is any Lotto money still going to ED-Joo-KAY-shun?” 5) Norman: “Well honey, there is bad news and there is good news....... the bad news is that we didn’t win anything in the MegaLottery......the good news is that we won’t be hearing from your relatives.” 4) AstroBoy: “I am glad it is over, now I can go back to fantasizing about sports again instead of money.” 3) Vik: “Only time I won a lottery was in 1972 when I was drafted into military service at #85. So did I win or did I lose?” 2) John Joe: “Now the winners can afford to buy gas.” 1) Justin: “At least not winning saves a whole lot of deleting of Facebook friends this morning.” Who else but the government can take in $600 million, pay out $500 million and then tell the winners they have a new Uncle named Sam who wants millions back on tax day. Arlo Kallemeyn Shopper Publisher and big fan of watching the government commit highway robbery.

What’s Your Big Idea? KEVIN BRADLEY A young woman told her grandmother about her life and how things were hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved a new one arose. Her grandmother took her to the kitchen, filled three pots with water, placed carrots in one, eggs in the second, and coffee beans in the third. She boiled them without saying a word. In twenty minutes she turned off the burners, fished out the carrots and eggs, placing them in bowls, and ladled the coffee into a bowl. She asked her granddaughter, “What do you see?” “Carrots, eggs, and coffee,” she replied. Grandma asked her to feel the carrots. She did, noticing that they got soft. She then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, she asked her to sip the coffee. The granddaughter smiled, tasting its rich aroma. The granddaughter then asked. “What’s the point?” Her grandmother explained that each of these objects had faced the same adversity--boiling water--but each reacted differently. The carrot went in strong, hard and unrelenting. However, after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak. The egg had been fragile. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior, but after sitting through the boiling

water its inside became hardened. The ground coffee beans were unique, however. After they were in the boiling water they had changed the water. “Which are you?” she asked her granddaughter. “When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you the carrot that seems strong, but with pain and adversity, will you wilt and become soft and lose your strength? Are you the egg that starts with a malleable heart, but changes with the heat? Did you have a fluid spirit, but after a death, a breakup, a financial hardship or some other trial, have you become hardened and stiff? Does your shell look the same, but on the inside are you bitter and tough with a stiff spirit and a hardened heart? Or are you like the coffee bean? The bean actually changes the hot water, the very circumstance that brings the pain. When the water gets hot, it releases the fragrance and flavor. If you are like the bean, when things are at their worst, you get better and change the situation around you. When the hours are the darkest and trials are their greatest do you elevate to another level? ---AUTHOR UNKNOWN — Don’t let the outside world change you into something you don’t want to be. Be the change you wish to see in the world. Questions or comments may be sent to kevinbradley@columnist. com. Good luck, K.B.

Now doing a short sale on your home when you are trying to sale is becoming more and more common. A few years ago a short sale was done every once in a while and only in extreme cases. Since the real estate market has done a major correction, many more people are finding themselves forced to look at doing a short sale. I wanted to discuss a few of the shortcuts and steps that you can take as a homeowner to speed up the process when doing a short sale. Anyone that has done a short sale in the last year or so, knows that it is not an easy process. Right now banks are swamped with short sale files and what used to take about a month to get a short sale completed now can take anywhere from 90 days to 7 or 8 months. Banks do not have the time or the resources to do a short sale quickly. Your best bet when doing a short sale is to have your stuff together so that when they do get a chance to look at your file you can help them move you thru the process quickly. The first thing you need to do when considering a short sale is to call the bank and ask will they consider doing a short sale on your property. Most banks will say yes, but some banks will not so it is better to ask and be sure. There are even some banks who are not accepting short sales because they are in such bad financial shape. You might as well just verify that the bank will consider the short sale before starting this process. The next step is to try to find a buyer for your home at the reduced price.

In almost every case, you cannot get a bank to accept a short sale on a property until you have a buyer. Without a buyer, you do not have a short sale. A bank will not go thru the steps and man-hours to get your pay-off reduced if you have no one willing to pay that amount. Most people find their buyer thru a real estate agent. This is fine in most cases, just make sure that you find a competent agent to help you. The next step after finding a buyer is to get all of your financial documents in order. When you submit you offer from your seller to the bank they will also ask for your financials. Have your last two tax returns, pay stubs, bank statements, and any other things that they asked for when you first called them ready to submit. Finally, when submitting your buyers offer, try to get the name and direct extension of your caseworker with the bank. Many short sales are handled by specific caseworkers and by getting your person’s name and number you can speed up the process by calling once a week and verifying if any additional things are needed from you. Doing these steps you should be able to speed up this often-slow process and get your house sold with minimum hassle. 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.

MARJORIE alice DEVRIES When people search online for used cars, the key words are “good condition” and “low mileage.” My teenage daughter keyed the words “raised cars” and “low tires.” The search resulted in an image of a thin man with a big belly. Confused, she asked me how that happened. And I simply said, “Honey, that’s a spare tire.” After I read this letter of Sgt. Buetow, I was just as confused as my daughter. He wrote to his wife, “You’d better start getting rid of any back porch weight...” If I called my mom, she’d probably say, “Honey, that’s a fluffy tush.” Sgt. Robert Buetow served with the 703rd Tank Battalion and also the 54th Armored Field Artillery Battalion in Europe. Here’s that letter he wrote to his wife: February 14, 1945 Sweetheart darling, Today is Valentine’s Day, so I’d better start off by telling you I’m glad I have you for my Valentine. You’re entirely right when you say I’ll never tire of having you tell me you love me. To me those are the sweetest words in the world. I hate to disappoint you, dearest, but it doesn’t look like I have much of a chance of coming home on furlough in the near future. We only get a very small quota each month.

Thanks for praying for me about that. There’s nothing I’d like more than to come home to you, but I’d much rather have it be when this war is all finished and I can stay home for a while and then having to come back here again. You’d better start getting rid of any “back porch” weight, ‘cause if you don’t, how will we both fit in the love seat we’re going to have in our living room? You mentioned something about the boys coming home in several (two) of your letters, darling, but you see those trips aren’t for good— they’re only furloughs and they’re all coming back after spending approximately a month at home. It’s time for bed now. Goodnight dearest. As always, Your lonely loving hubby, Bob More priceless letters and pictures are on the ‘Treasured Letters from the Past’ Facebook page. Marjorie Alice DeVries is a freelance writer, devoted to sharing the priceless treasure of war letters, each one a unique window into a life that once was.

Readers voicing their opinions, thoughts and concerns

VOTE “YES” ON APRIL 9TH FOR LANSING PARKS.… On March 18th I attended the Lan Oak Park District meeting for the referendum. Those in attendance voiced concerns about raising their taxes. The Park District has not had a raise since 1949 for capital improvements; the average cost for taxpayers would be from $29.00 to $66.00 for a year, depending on your tax bill. Consider the number of homes for sale and the person shopping for a new home. Would you buy a home in a Village that has empty parks, no playground equipment, and shelters in need of repair? Home sales are based on your schools and your parks. As a senior citizen, homeowner, and business owner, I encourage you to invest in your community. Boost your property values and vote YES on April 9th for Lansing Parks. Speak Out is your chance to express your opinion, anonymously. You can e-mail us at general@myshopper.biz. Please keep your comments as short as possible. Opinions expressed are strictly those of the author.

In early December of 2012, an agent of this firm came to my office and said, “Woody, we need you up front.” “What’s the problem?” I asked. “Some people in front have trouble with English and I think you might be able to help,” he answered. In this office, you can regularly hear people speaking in English, Arabic, Spanish, Polish, SerboCroation, and Greek. The elderly couple who visited us that day were originally from Poland. They spoke English fairly well. They understood me when I spoke English. But, they had a problem understanding English speakers over the phone. I know a few words in Polish. I studied Russian a long time ago in high school and college. Polish and Russian are somewhat similar and I was able to help the elderly couple to make an important phone call regarding their health insurance policies and complying with some Awesome long black prom dress.

The people who own and manage this insurance agency want the staff to help our senior citizen clients in special ways whenever it is possible when it relates to their insurance through this agency. Does your insurance agent or agency give such a high level of service to senior citizen clients? If not, why not?

DYER GIRL SCOUT TROOP 10240 FIND NEW WAYS TO RECYCLE: Dyer Girl Scout Troop 10240 visited the Environmental Education Center in Hammond recently and learned new ways to recycle everyday items in their community, noted their Troop Leader Brigid Daugharty. The facility, located at 2405 Calumet Avenue has a working trout spring inside, dog and bird houses, a giant Lego statue and other distinctive pieces of art that are made from 100 percent recycled material. The EEC showcased all the recycled items utilized in the building including tables that were donated from a wood guitar factory, tile floors made of recycled windshields and wall paper made from juice boxes. The collection of used crayons caught the attention of the troop as they entered the kitchen. The crayons are being collected in an attempt to beat the world record for largest crayon. Pictured here are Rachel and Lillian Maloblocki; Paige Lukas and Saachi and Saahili Parikh creating new items.To donate items to the EEC contact them at lcswmd.com. The Dyer Girl Scout Troop is willing to help those who cannot transport material by offering free transportation of all cleaned recyclable material. The Girl Scouts can be contacted at DyerGirlScouts240@gmail.com *** CITIZENS FOR A BETTER EDUCATION BENEFIT SET FOR SATURDAY APRIL 6, 2013: Frank M.
