Governors State University is inviting veterans to join a new Veterans Writing Group, where they will discover the craft of narrative writing in a small, supportive group environment. Groups will meet for six-week workshops beginning in January to learn new skills and share camaraderie with other vets. “Narrative writing helps veterans bridge the cultural divide between their military and civilian life,” explains Robin Thompson, University Lecturer and Coordinator of the program. “Their stories are important and may one day become a valuable family heirloom or community resource – everyone benefits.” There is no charge for participation in the Veterans Writing Group. To register, contact Thompson at (708) 534-4581 or rthompson@govst.edu Governors State University is located at 1 University Parkway, University Park, Illinois.

Illinois Law Now!

Question: My grandchild is a huge fan of a certain pop star and has registered on his website. How can people be sure that the information those sites collect doesn’t violate the children’s privacy rule? Answer: The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act requires operators of these sites to alert parents and obtain their consent before collecting, using or disclosing personal information about children under age 13. For more information about Illinois law, visit www. illinoislawyerfinder.com. If you have a legal question, send it to illinoislawcolumn@isba.org. Question: May I deny visitation rights to my ex because he stopped paying child support? Answer: The non-payment of child support cannot be a factor in allowing or denying visitation. However, the failure to comply with a visitation court order is a criminal action and could subject the offending parent to a fine and possible jail time. Any parent who violates the child visitation agreement without cause, or falls behind inexplicably on payment of child support, could be held in contempt of court. Your best bet is to consult with an attorney. For more information about Illinois law, visit www. illinoislawyerfinder.com. If you have a legal question, send it to illinoislawcolumn@isba.org. Question: What is an employer’s responsibility with regards to the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Act? Answer: Among an employer’s responsibilities, he or she must obtain compensation insurance, post a notice in each workplace that lists the insurance carrier and explains workers’ rights, keep records of work-related injuries, and report to the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Commission any accidents involving more than three lost workdays. Employers may not harass, discharge or refuse to rehire an employee for exercising his/her rights under the law. Finally, an employer may not charge the employee for workers’ compensation insurance premiums that the employer is required to pay. More information about workers’ compensation laws is available at http://www.iwcc.il.gov/ For more information about Illinois law, visit www. illinoislawyerfinder.com.

Making the Best Senior Living Choice options on site. When planning ahead, consider the needs you might have in the future: Physical and medical needs. As you age, you may need some help with physical needs, including activities of daily living. This could range from shopping, cleaning, and cooking to intensive help with bathing, toileting, moving around, and eating. You or a loved one may also need increasing help with medical needs. These could arise from a sudden condition, such as a heart attack or stroke, or a more gradual condition that slowly needs more and more care. About 70 percent of individuals over the age of 65 will require some type of long-term care services during their lifetime. Social and emotional needs. As you age, your social networks may change. Friends or family may not be as close by, or neighbors may move or pass on. You want to make sure that you have

Thinking about future housing arrangements can be a stressful topic for both you and your family. However, the earlier you assess your current needs and how those needs may evolve over time, the more choices and control you’ll have over your future living arrangements. These guidelines can help you learn about the different types of senior housing available, which choices may be best for you, and how to navigate the emotional roadblocks that come with selecting senior housing. Planning for your future Aging is a time of adaptation and change, and planning for the future will make sure your needs, or the needs of a loved one, are fully met. Continuing to thrive as you age means learning how to maintain your independence for as long as possible. This may mean modifying your own home, or it could mean moving to a housing facility with more support

F.O.C.U.S. on Success

GOD WITH US

www.myshopper.biz/columnists/

For Christians Only!!! Anna M. Caison

Christ Our Savior Catholic School 8th grade student, Jordan Williams, and his mother, Melanie Sharpe (Prestige Properties Real Estate owner) have co-founded an organization called F.O.C.U.S.. The F.O.C.U.S. organization named “For Our Continuous Unyielding Success” will apply the principle of the word “focus” (the center of interest or activity/the absence of distractions) to any and all endeavors in the quest for success.

The F.O.C.U.S. group will strive for academic excellence, serve the community and help people on a worldwide basis. Recently, Jordan collected 300 canned good items to help the Student Council Thanksgiving Food Drive at Christ Our Savior. Jordan passed out fliers in his neighborhood to obtain canned goods or monetary donations in order to fight hunger, the group’s first project.

The response to the article, “Knowing God through the Election Process” has been overwhelming not only in the local communities to which this paper serves, but also from readers outside of the US who read the article over the Internet. This week and the next, I will do my best to answer the questions that the article raised. There are several things God has shown us about ourselves and our relationship to Him through this and the 2008 election of our president. One is our heart is dangerously far from Him. This truth is clearly seen when the Billy Graham Organization decided to removed the Mormon Church from its list of nonChristian churches in an attempt to trick unsuspecting Christians to believe that a vote for Romney is a vote for Christianity. The Mormon Church does not follow the teachings of Jesus and His apostles as recorded in the Bible. Mormons have written their own bible to live by that is contrary to the Word of God. Its major lie is that Jesus birth was not incarnate, but resulted from a physical sexual relationship between God (who at the time was human) and Mary. They also teach that Satan is Jesus’ biological brother, making him God’s son. Scripture teaches that Jesus existed before the world was created, His conception was supernatural, and that He alone is the only begotten son of God. Satan is a created angelic being who lost his Don’s Dependable Light Hauling and Moving. Have pickup, will travel, will help with packing peoples contents. Competitive rates. Don 708-522-2381

position in heaven when he led a revolted against God. According to 2 John 7-11, anyone who brings another doctrine (teaching) about Christ that is contrary to what Jesus and His apostles taught is not of God, but of the spirit of antichrist. We are further warned that uniting with (encouraging & supporting) such persons make us partakers in their evil deception. The action of the Billy Graham Organization demonstrates their unbelief and rejection of God’s Sovereign right to choose an African-American as President to accomplish His purposes. Conservative Evangelicals take great pride in defining themselves as Republicans: America’s moral and Christian conscience. As Christians we are to emulate the Lord Jesus in being a servant to “all”. The Republican Party in its bid to take over the White House sought only to serve an exclusive part of the country-----the wealthy and White males between the ages of 50 – 65. In contrast, the President reached out to serve all Americans------the wealthy, the poor, men, and women, all races regardless of age, lifestyle and religious belief.

Annual “FOP Kids and Cops” Holiday Fundraiser Dyer Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 169 would like to once again announce that we are beginning our annual “FOP Kids and Cops” holiday fundraiser. This program is used to help support families who reside in the Town of Dyer that are suffering from extreme financial hardship in an effort to allow them to have a brighter holiday season. Lodge 169’s holiday season fundraiser has been a huge success in years past due to the generous donations and hard work of citizens, businesses, and members of Lodge 169. Dyer Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 169 is asking for monetary donations in order to help with our fundraising efforts again this year. Due to continuing economic hardships that many households are feeling, we have a large list of families that we hope to be able to help this holiday season. Interior painter over 25 yrs. experience, 3-rooms or more. Small room free. Algie after 4pm. 708-868-3554 or cell 708-785-1499

Please feel free to drop off donations at the Dyer Police Department anytime. Officer Shane Hendron and Officer Jerry Patrick will spearhead this event once again and can be contacted at 219-865-1163. Thank you in advance for your attention and any assistance you may be able to provide. Commentary by Columnist Kevin Bradley: I learned from Officer Hendron that children in this program will have the opportunity to go shopping with a uniformed police officer, providing them a memorable experience with a positive role model, helping to build the child’s self esteem. This type of program builds our town into a community, fostering real relationships and providing joy for those people in need; thank you Officers Hendron, Patrick, and the Dyer FOP for your time and efforts to do so.

Athlete’s feet is caused by a fungus which is commonly found associated with the feet. It is characterized by a burning or itching of the sole of the foot or between two toes. Many times the skin appears very moist but can also appear dry with peeling skin. It usually begins as small brown blisters with clear yellowish liquid inside. These usually turn darker when peeled to reveal red, sometimes raw skin. Prescription medications are many times needed to control the disease. If you have any questions concerning athlete’s feet or any other foot problems, please stop by or call my office during office hours.

Dunamis Woman Empowerment Segment: I am so excited about being back on radio. It’s a media platform which provides avenues to reach out to countless of homes and businesses across the globe especially via internet. Educating, exposing, esteeming and empowering great people with great minds is rejuvenating to my soul, because so many people are facing challenges strongly attempting to hold them hostage. We were born to live a life of freedom as we enjoy life on a daily basis fulfilling our purpose and passion. The mere fact that people don’t realize their true purpose in life is bondage within itself. They live a life orchestrated with routines, regimens, rules and regulations to the peak that they don’t even realize how miserable they really are. Life has become so mundane that it’s difficult to make decisions that are now vital to their well being. I know that media is a major part of my purpose because the people that I have met would not have complemented my life if I hadn’t stepped out on faith in spite of my personal circumstances. The rewards of having rich relations are beyond compare to many tangible things that people deem relevant and necessary for their lives. As we rapidly embark upon another year, 2013, I want to challenge you to think about a few things. 1. Are you still in the same situation or condition as you were the previous year? 2. What have you done different within the last year? 3. What did you expect to change at the end year 2011? 4. Did changes occur for the better or worse? These are vital questions that must be answered and properly assessed in

order to create change. No longer can we look at our lives through the window. We must turn around and stare at ourselves in the mirror. The eyes are the pathway to the soul. Talk to yourself. Challenge yourself. This is all about you. Don’t let another day, month or year go by and you are being what other people want you to be. Annihilate the spirit of pleasing people, and embark upon the year of 2013 as an opportunity to please yourself in ways that you have never done before. According to Romans 12:1, a life of sacrifice and surrender is very relational for those who understand how to implement it. Without an in-depth understanding of this kind of sacrifice and surrender can be a life of becoming prey to others for their self-fulfillment as opposed to your own. Commit to yourself that December 2012 as the beginning of a life of zero tolerance for non-sense, disrespect and attending to irrelevant issues. Learn the purpose power of saying, “No,” as you begin your journey of self-discovery. As a Strategic Life Coach, I invite you to join a host of Dunamis Women & Real Awesome Men, as we learn to how to live in another dimension of full of love, laughter, and luxury.

AMBER Alert Task Force Celebrates 10 Year Anniversary

Recently, the Illinois AMBER Alert Task Force announced the 10 year anniversary of the first AMBER (America’s Missing Broadcast Emergency Response) Alert broadcast in Illinois. Every year, hundreds of children are abducted in Illinois. Most are returned home safely; unfortunately, others are not. The public’s help in locating missing children is critical and the AMBER Alert Task Force relies on tips and information to assist law enforcement’s efforts in finding missing children. When a child is reported missing, every second counts. That is why the AMBER Alert Program’s greatest tools are the eyes and ears of the public. The AMBER Alert System is named after nine-year-old Amber Hagerman, who was abducted in 1996 while playing near her home in Arlington, Texas. She was later found murdered. In response to community concern, the Texas Association of Radio Managers, with the assistance of Texas’ local area law enforcement, created the first AMBER Plan. All 50 states now have similar plans. The Illinois AMBER Alert Notification Plan is a voluntary partnership between law enforcement agencies, broadcasters and the National Weather Service to activate an urgent bulletin in the most serious child abduction cases. This is the same concept used during severe weather emergencies. The goal of A p t . f o r re n t : D o l t o n , 2-bdrms. with appliances; also 3-bdrm. house for rent in Harvey.

the AMBER Alert is to instantly galvanize the entire community to assist in the search for and safe return of the child. The effectiveness of the system requires collaboration between law enforcement agencies, Illinois Broadcasters, the National Weather Service, the Illinois Department of Transportation, the Illinois Press Association and the public. “While we hope for a day when we never again need an AMBER Alert, the broadcast community, as always, stands ready to voluntarily serve at moment’s notice,” remarked Dennis Lyle, president and CEO of the Illinois Broadcasters Association. “We’re humbled that so many successful recoveries of abducted children have been credited to the immediacy of over-the-air AMBER Alert broadcasts contributed by the fact that so many citizens are tuned in to broadcast radio and TV at any given time of day who are then alerted to the real-time crime and thus providing law enforcement with the sudden help of hundreds and many times thousands of civilian eyes and ears to aid them in the search and recovery process,” continued Lyle. “There is no finer example of broadcasters serving their community of license than that of an AMBER Alert.” Since its inception, the Illinois AMBER Alert System has been used to broadcast 88 messages of abducted children with

the Alert accounting directly for 41 children returned home safely. In 2012, Illinois has activated six AMBER Alert Broadcasts. In four of those cases, the AMBER Alert was credited with the recovery. Since 1997, nationwide AMBER Alerts have been credited for over 590 children returned home safely. “The proof of the effectiveness of an AMBER Alert Broadcast is in the numbers, says Illinois AMBER Alert Coordinator Craig Burge. This program is unlike many others because it is a public partnership. Citizens in Illinois can take pride in the fact that they can help each and every time a child is abducted by simply being aware of their surroundings and reporting what they see to law enforcement officials.” Burge also stressed that collaboration is key. “This collaborative effort will continue to provide the basis for the success of AMBER Alerts for years to come.” For more information about AMBER Alerts, to find out how to receive AMBER Alerts on your cell phone or to see how you can help by donating to the AMBER Alert Fund, please visit www.amberillinois.org.

JANET ROBINSON Home is our dwelling place of refuge and shelter. We often think of our homes as a safe haven of peace…a place to go after a long day with the anticipation of rest, relaxation and companionship with loved ones. Oliver Wendell Holmes describes home as a place, “Where we love.” Sadly, many do not experience a safe, peaceful, and loving home. Most of us are so blessed and fortunate, that we cannot imagine what it would be like not to have a roof over our heads. Or to feel trapped in an abusive relationship because there’s nowhere to go or you don’t have any money to leave. It happens everyday. Women are faced with the choice to continue to live with someone they fear or to become homeless and penniless with their children. And if she does leave and go to a shelter, she has to share a bedroom with strangers, because most shelters are communal. I wonder what decision you would make. Your financial support is critical in providing domestic violence education and counseling services. Every donation to Oil O’ Joy House helps to make a difference in the lives of victims of domestic violence. Won’t you help us so we can help others? Your donation of $25 provides one hour

students will investigate diverse perspectives of culture and identity through the theories and practices of performance. Participants must be willing to tap into their creativity, curiosity, and willingness to perform. The class meets on Mondays, from 4:30 to 7:20 p.m. “Both of these courses,” according to Dr. Patrick Santoro, assistant Professor of Theatre and Performance Studies, “take experiential learning to the next level. Theatre is not a passive experience. At GSU, we encourage our students to get involved and learn from the many facets and meanings of the performing arts.” Registration for classes continues through January 26. The Spring 2013 semester begins January 22. For more information, contact Dr. Patrick Santoro at 708.235.2842 or psantoro@ govst.edu.

Annual Thanksgiving Dinner Unites The Community By Cindy Cruz What began as a Thanksgiving dinner for the homeless in 2000 has become an event that unites all segments of the south suburban community. The annual event held on the Saturday before Thanksgiving is co-sponsored by Thornton Township and South Suburban College. This year’s event had the largest crowd with approximately 2,500 people enjoying a traditional dinner prepared by Jumbo’s Catering and served by volunteers from the township, local businesspeople and elected officials. Township Supervisor Frank Zuccarelli said that while it was wonderful to see such a large crowd in attendance it was also disappointing to see so many people in need. “It is important that we work together to help each other. It was another great event and everyone had a wonderful time, and that’s what we like to see.” South Holland Mayor Don De Graff said the event is a wonderful opportunity to visit with residents and to say thank you. He emphasized the importance of helping others who are less fortunate. Supervisor Zuccarelli and his staff do an excellent job and the annual dinner kicks off a joyous season,” he said. For Harvey residents Kiarah Green, her husband, Phillip, and daughters Philliyah and Phaillisia the event truly brightened their holiday. “We’ve been struggling and didn’t have enough for a Thanksgiving dinner. The township gave us a Thanksgiving basket complete with the turkey and all the trimmings. We are so grateful for their generosity,” she said. Eddie Jones, age 86 of Calumet City said he enjoys coming to socialize and has made many new friends. Jones keeps active by participating in line dancing classes at the township and attending various community events. He recommends that seniors check out all that the township has to offer. The event was also special for the volunteers. Lynn Toi Lawson, from Christian Community Health Center and secretary of the South Holland Business Association said that is a blessing to be of service to others. “That is the beauty of being a South Holland resident,” she said. “I enjoy any opportunity to serve the public.” _______________________________________ Nearly 2,500 residents from throughout the south suburbs attended the annual free Thanksgiving Dinner for the community co-sponsored by Thornton Township and South Suburban College. Kiarah Green and her daughter 7 month-old Philliyah were among those in attendance. Local officials who helped serve the food included Township Clerk Jacki eRivera, South Holland Mayor Don De Graff, Lansing Mayor Norm Abbott and Township Trustee Joyce Washington along with local businesspeople.

mike buder Mulcher lawn mower Briggs I may lose some business, but when my head hits the pillow – I go to sleep. “Our character is what we do when we think no one is looking” H. Jackson Brown, Jr. Real estate is a business that seems like someone is always looking. But there are times no one is looking, or they don’t have the experience to know what they’re seeing. I have seen people compromise because their character wasn’t a concern. Some decisions are easy (or at least they should be). The seller wants to call that room in the basement with the 1’ x 2’ window 6’ up the wall a “bedroom”. I know it’s done, but it shouldn’t be. BOCA, municipal codes, safety, etc. Yet I see many homes where this test has been failed, and once I’ve seen this, I’ll question the character of the listing agent and sellers. The deal may still happen, but it’s biased from the start. What if a seller knows of a problem that should be disclosed but doesn’t want to put it out there for fear it will scare off the buyers? Sorry, once I as your Realtor know it, I’m liable too. You as the seller need to correct the problem or at minimum disclose it. I will do everything I can to

A blessed Christmas and leave the “Christian” readers with this thought: When any of us neglect to keep CHRIST in CHRISTmas we may have a holiday that’s Materially blessed but not as Spiritually blessed. God bless one and all!

23 December 5, 2012

From The Publisher

www.myshopper.biz/columnists/

Walking Right - It Can Be Taught arlo kallemeyn In this space today is a guest columnist. Dorthy Nevils is a public school teacher and here are her thoughts. “I was just wondering… Does ISTEP test stepping? Or walking? It should. For those who may be far removed from the land of school kids and school stuff, ISTEP is an acronym for Indiana Statewide Testing for Educational Progress, required for students beginning in 3rd grade. In my opinion, an emphasis on “stepping” would be beneficial for our children’s future. Parents could do well to team up with the children as “study buddies,” and should be required to teach to the test. The resulting test should cover three areas: The first area of coverage I’ll call, “Step Prep-Pep Step.” Parents would be required to teach their boys, beginning before third grade, to “put some pep in their step.” Here the emphasis would be on walking like you are going somewhere…so that you increase your chances of “getting somewhere.” Here boys would be taught to avoid slouching along with one hand holding up their trousers, looking like toddlers in dayold Pampers. Each step should not produce the slow rolling of the pelvis, which results in each foot padding down on the pavement at a grotesque angle that makes their ankles seem twisted. The next area is a more serious area, which I’ll call, “Street Walkers: A Brief History.” Here the parents are directed to instruct their teens and preteens to use the sidewalks and extend their histories. Lately, children have become enamored with the vast expanse of asphalt that allows them to “mooander”

along like homeless bovines, unrestricted, and seemingly unaware that they do not have four feet— and those miscounted four feet have no rubber attached thereto. The herd moves placidly along, dividing ever so slowly and begrudgingly in the middle, just enough for the width of an approaching car—but not before a “rolling of the eyes” that would have sent one of my generation flying into next week. Perhaps with the dirt gathered on the rolling eye, they don’t recognize that they lack bumpers. A final requirement would be geared toward toddlers, and for want of a more exciting name, I’ll call it “Past the Grass No-no.” The premise is simple: Children should have a fear of the street. I witness people, especially teens, sashaying down the middle of the street with their toddlers. My neighbor’s toddler walked out to her car and stood behind it while she loaded some items. The child was next to her, but he was past the curb. I said to her, “Don’t let him get comfortable with his feet on the concrete.” Only grass should feel right to a toddler’s step. To load him into the car or even to cross the street, take him up in your arms. “If it’s hard, avoid” is a simple concept he can readily learn. There’s more to navigating life than is taught in school, and that’s where parents come in. After all, school teaches— and tests—knowledge; wisdom, or “mother wit” is the STEP that is all too often missing. Dorothy Nevils Public School Teacher Best regards – Arlo Kallemeyn Shopper Publisher and big fan of teachers everywhere.

Renee N. Hale, DSL Gearing up for the holidays means lots of “bling” in decorations, clothes, jewelry—you name it, the season calls for light and sparkle! There’s a reason for it. It’s to draw us into thinking about life in a different way for a while; to see things from a positive, lightfilled viewpoint. Thoughts that come to mind are: exquisite, delightful, Light of the World, positive, fun, valuable, beautiful, striking—to name a few. Are you the sparkle? Are there qualities about you that sparkle and bring light to others—no matter what the season? Think about what draws others to you, day in and day out; that which brings light and life to bear on the mundane. D o e s yo u r l e ad e r s h i p sparkle? Sometimes the sparkle is understated. Maybe in your leadership experience there’s an ethical issue, a moral temptation, or emotional abuse. Your steady determination to do what’s right no matter what is going on around you is like a shining star. This value of integrity may not call attention to itself, but it stands out! Are you that person? Practicing skill in one’s profession can truly sparkle. When one stays on the cutting edge in the field and offers the highest quality products and

services, there is a bright reputation that travels almost the speed of light. This reputation draws clients to experience your sparkle personally. Can you think of other ways to sparkle? There are many positive, othersfocused character qualities and actions that you or someone you know may practice on a regular basis. Like the fantastic variety of lights during the holiday season, those behaviors illustrate the incredible ways good leaders take the opportunity to serve others. Some of them are: intentional care for the wellbeing of colleagues, competence and excellence in professional relationships, going the extra mile to make things right for a customer, and helping a student succeed with a little extra time given in tutoring. Think of the incredible positive momentum and encouragement you can bring to someone’s life through sparkling leadership. I can’t think of a brighter light for the holidays! Dr. Renée N. Hale is founder and president of WellSpirit Consulting Group, Inc.—engaging organizations around the world to make business worth living. Visit www. wellspiritconsulting.com today. © 2012 Renée N.

A 5 part article on credit and how to maintain it!… arthur v. veal iv these three companies is not always the same. Sometimes credit gets reported to one or two of the bureaus but not all 3. So the first step in taking an active role in your credit is to get a credit report from all 3 bureaus. You need to see what information ALL THREE bureaus are keeping on you before you can move forward. By law, you are now allowed to get a free credit report from each bureau once a year. You can also get a report from any specific bureau if you are turned down for credit. To get your free credit report go to the website www. annualcreditreport.com . This site will allow you to get all 3 reports for free. The site will try and offer you to pay for your credit score but that is not necessary at this point. By the way, when you are ordering your credit report, remember that the site will ask you 3-5 specific credit questions. Questions like who did you have an auto loan with in 1995 or how much was your monthly payment on that auto loan from 1995? So you must answer these questions correctly in order to verify your identy. After you pull all three credit reports then print them out and I will show you next week what to look for and how to start removing incorrect information. Till next week, Good luck and God Bless and remember… If you want to sell your house on terms check out our informative website at www. sellonterms.com for more information

The “Real Life” Real Estate Column

Whether you are looking to buy a house or you already own a house and would like to upgrade, more than likely you will need to use your credit. Credit in our society is one of the basic building blocks to financial strength and independence. I am often surprised when I talk to people about how little they know about credit and many know even less about maintaing their own credit. So I decided to explain the credit system and some ways to maintain or improve your own credit. Just so you know, most people don’t take an active interest in there credit until they need it. This is the wrong attitude because in order to fix and improve your credit it often takes time. Usually at least 30 days so don’t work on your credit when you need it. Work on your credit BEFORE you need it and you will be better off. Part 1: Credit Reporting Agencies There are 3 main Credit r e p o r t i n g A gen c ies in the United States. While there are more places that report credit, the main 3 for the U.S. are Experian, Transunion and Equifax. These are the credit bureaus that maintain credit files on most Americans and in most cases this is where people or places that lend credit look to when deciding whether or not to give you credit. One quick note: these credit bureaus are not government run. They are privately held companies that track credit. Your credit profile with

What’s Your Big Idea?

The Man With The Iron Fists, shows a lot of love for the kung fu classics... BRIAN GRABINSKI

KEVIN BRADLEY By remembering the mistakes of the past, hopefully we may avoid repeating them in the future. In 1935, a little girl was born in a small town in northern Yugoslavia. Her parents, hard working, industrious, religious, peaceful people of Germanic heritage, named her Katherine. Her parents, Wendel and Katharina Hoeger, owned and ran a small tavern on their property. Her mother would serve patrons homecooked meals. Her father also served as a broker of grains and livestock, acting as a middle man between local farmers and the buyers whom he would ship these goods to via the railroad, which ran past the Hoegers’ home. Wendel and Katharina also worked late into the night doing all the bookkeeping for their businesses by hand. Six years later, Katherine welcomed a little sister, Erna, to their family. Katherine hoped one day, when she and Erna grew up, they would be able to help her father with the family business. She hoped by the time they were old enough, they might be able to run it themselves, when their father was ready to retire. This was very progressive thinking for the time…a time when women were not typically running businesses, or educated to do so. Unfortunately, young Katherine’s dreams were shattered, decimated by the effects and aftermath of World War Two. Her father was called to serve his civic duty in the German Army. Her town, Gakowa, was turned into a concentration

camp, under the military rule of Communist Partisan soldiers commanded by Marshall Tito, imprisoning people of German heritage as enemies of the state. Katherine survived in deplorable, inhumane conditions from the time she was nine, until her escape, at age twelve…an escape which also lasted years before the family was safe and secure. During her time living in concentration camp Gakowa, Katherine lost many family members including her mother, survived typhoid fever, near starvation, and many other horrors. Katherine has written and published a book, “A Pebble in My Shoe” chronicling her story, and that of her husband, George Flotz, who survived a similar, yet different set of horrors beset upon common Germanic people during and following WWII, punishing them for a war they did not participate in. George was a survivor of the Allied bombing of Dresden in 1945, when over 200,000 German civilians perished. Katherine and George are available for speaking engagements if your school, church, or group would like to learn about a piece of history from two who have lived through it. Speaking is free…gas money is appreciated if you are a distance…book purch a ses a re a lwa y s welcome. Contact them at kflotz@comcast.net, 219-662-2544, or PO Box 1124 Crown Point, In. 46308-1124.

The Man with the Iron Fists (2012)

95 min - Action - 2 November 2012 (USA) SYNOPSIS: On the hunt for a fabled treasure of gold, a band of warriors, assassins, and a rogue British soldier descend upon a village in feudal China, where a humble blacksmith looks to defend himself and his fellow villagers. REVIEW: Some excellent action scenes, a cool soundtrack and watching Russell Crowe going crazy make this film an absolute blast. RZA’s directorial debut, The Man With The Iron Fists, shows a lot of love for the kung fu classics and martial arts movies which inspired it, but it doesn’t quite have that feel of exhilaration that they have. In addition to the directing the movie, RZA also stars as Thaddeus, who is known to the inhabitants of Jungle Village as The Blacksmith. He spends his days making weapons for those who wish to fight one another to death. The Blacksmith isn’t proud of what he does, but it allows him to save money for him and the love of his life, Lady Silk (Jamie Chung), so that they can escape their hellish existence in this small village and start a

new life together. However, into this village soon arrives a band of warriors, a number of assassins and a British soldier addicted to opium that are all on the hunt for a huge treasure of gold. Both RZA and Eli Roth have clearly spent a lot of time crafting the movie’s story and have created a mythology that has a lot of detail and history behind it. The problem is, we never get as emotionally invested in the characters as we should, and the action feels lacking as a result. It’s a shame too because the action sequences, which were choreographed by the great Corey Yuen, are definitely fun to watch and have a lot of moments where you can’t help but say “OUCH!” The fact that The Man With The Iron Fists doesn’t work as well as it should is frustrating. You can imagine how much RZA, Eli Roth and Quentin Tarantino (whose name is all over this film) love these kinds of martial arts extravaganzas, and you really want this to be on the same level as those classics. It may have been too much to expect this to be like Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, but it could have passed as a B-movie version of Kill Bill. It doesn’t however, but here’s hoping that RZA makes more movies because he certainly has the passion for it, and hopefully things can only get better for him as a filmmaker from here on. On a scale of 1-10, I give this one a 8 My 2¢ -B You can read more of my reviews online at: www. themotionpicturereviewer. blogspot.com

MARJORIE alice DEVRIES When a husband offers to help with the dishes after a big Thanksgiving dinner, there’s got to be some sort of strings attached. Like a guys ski trip or a Bears game. But there was a man, once upon a time, who offered his hand at the dishes just to spend time with his lovely wife. Sgt. Bob Buetow. He fought in the tough 703rd Tank Destroyer Battalion during WWII, and also admitted to his wife that he was domesticated. Here’s a letter the sergeant wrote to his wife, who lived on Milwaukee Ave. in Chicago: Thursday, December 7, 1944 Lu Darling, Our mailman gave me a little bit of a break and so today brought me the single page V-mail letter you wrote on the twenty-second. It’s oddly comforting to handle the letter and know you were the last person to touch it before I did. You see, your letters aren’t censored, so I’m the only one who sees or touches them, honey. I think I told you already that our Thanksgiving dinner was a pretty good one, with plenty of turkey for all of us. Of course I know it wasn’t nearly as nice as the dinner I would

have had if I had been at home, but next year I’m sure it will be a different story. In fact, I’ll even guarantee to help you do the dishes after we’ve finished our dinner, darling. Isn’t that nice of me? Honestly, mommy dearest, I’d really enjoy helping you do things like that. It sort of looks like you’ve got me domesticated pretty well, doesn’t it? Well, how did your luck at “bingo” turn out that night? I imagine it was good because you’re usually pretty lucky at things like that. When you read this letter you’ll be able to tell I was smoking while I wrote it, ‘cause I dropped a spark on the other page and burned a hole in it.
