Somber Hearts and Mixed Emotions
Due to circumstances beyond his control, Jim Lungaro of Jimbooo’s is relocating into Thornton and is looking forward to new challenges. The new Jimbooo’s location will be at 106 East Margaret Street (4 minutes south to previous location.). The new hours will be from 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Jimbooo’s new menu will include breakfast items, a full salad bar, a lunch buffet, monster pork chops, ginormous hamburgers and for the first time ever, Jimbooo’s will finally be able to provide french fries as well as serve beer and wine. When asked about leaving, Jim has mixed emotions,
since he has grown up in South Holland and has been at his current location for approximately 20 years. He jokingly said, “Every location I’ve been at has ultimately been torn down!” Jim Lungaro would like to give a special ‘Thank You’ to Mayor Don DeGraff, Clerk Penman, Economic Development Director John Watson and all the Trustees for all their continued support. Jim is very excited about the new location which after 30 years in the restaurant business he will finally have a freestanding building. He’s also afraid of ballooning up since he will be serving French fries, Ginormous pork chops and the all you can eat buffets. He’s also trying a radical idea with warm fresh donuts with toppings accessible for customers Catering will also still be available and Jimbooo’s owners and staff are all excited about the brand new facility which will also include a party room to assist you in hosting all of your upcoming events. Jim would like to personally Thank the New Mayor of Thornton, Bob Kolosch and Village Administrator Jason Wicha, Village Inspector Russ Oberman, Bernie (Subway) Lubawy and the Village trustees. Thank you for showing confidence in us. “I will not disappoint you!” Jim is blown away by the reaction the town has shown from hearing about his move. Jim’s heart will always be in South Holland and is grateful to all of his faithful customers for the many years of Love and Support. Looking forward to seeing you at the new facility!!!

Illinois Law Now!
Question: When can “no-fault” be used as grounds in a divorce? Answer: In Illinois, the no-fault grounds for divorce are based on the couple living separate and apart for a period of time, which is six months for couples who agree on the divorce, but two years for couples where only one member seeks the divorce. To file for a no-fault divorce in Illinois, at least one spouse has to have resided here for at least 90 days. Question: Does health care reform mean that the federal government can make life-and-death decisions for me and my spouse? Answer: That is a myth. The fact is that individuals, their doctors and their families will continue to make their own life-and-death decisions under the Affordable Care Act. Question: What are the responsibilities of a person who is named as the “agent” for a Power of Attorney for Health Care? Answer: A Power of Attorney for Health Care is a written legal document that outlines in advance who will make decisions for you if you are physically or mentally unable to make those decisions yourself. The person named as the “agent” has the authority to make all or limited decisions concerning your health care, including consent or withdrawal of medical treatment, even if doing so will result in your death. The agent can also be given the authority to make certain decisions after your death, on such things as making an anatomical gift, autopsies and the disposition of your remains. If the agent has no guidance as to your wishes, he or she takes whatever action is in your “best interest.” For more information about Illinois law, visit w w w. illinoislawyerfinder.com.
