To be honest, I was completely lukewarm with ‘An Unexpected Journey’ and that feeling continues with ‘The Desolation Of Smaug’... BRIAN GRABINSKI

The Hobbit: The D e s ol a t i on of S m a u g (2013) Advent u re | Dra ma | Fantasy - 13 December 2013 (USA) SYNOPSIS : The dwarves, along with Bilbo Bag g i ns a nd Ga nda l f the Grey, continue their quest to reclaim Erebor, t hei r homel a nd, f r om Smaug. Bilbo Baggins is in possession of a mysterious and magical ring. REVIEW: Bilbo Bag g i n s, Ga nda l f, a nd t he ba nd t he of m isf it dwar ves continue t heir jou r ne y to t he L onely Mountain in ‘The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug’, the second film in Peter Jackson’s Hobbit trilogy. Are the stakes raised in the sequel with the addition of new allies and enemies or will this be another long and boring set up movie about a group of men out on a stroll? Let me start my review in saying that I loved the ‘Lord of the Rings’ trilogy. I own all three extended editions in my librar y. W hen ‘A n Unex pec ted Jou r n e y ’ c a m e ou t , I was really excited to see it, but I left the theater absolutely bored. I felt that there was too much set up and frivolous over explanations of the plot a nd my t holog y of t he c h a r a c t er s . But I’m a smart guy and I do realize t hat t he f irst mov ie of pretty much any trilogy is normally the set up movie and that action and quick mov ing of the plot w ill pick up in the sequel. Now, ‘The Desolation of Smaug’ is a gorgeous mov ie to w atch t hat ’s filled with fantastic digital ef fe c t s, c ool m a ke -up and costumes, and great act i ng per for ma nces. Peter Jackson once again with his literal translation of the book makes you feel like you are an inhabitant

of Middle Earth as Bilbo and company take their dangerous stroll towards the Lonely Mountain. There are some pretty good sequences in the film t hat unfor tunately just come and go. The fight w it h t he spiders in t he black forest of Mirkwood is pretty gruesome. The best scene in the entire movie is the barrel escape f r o m t h e Wo o d - e l v e s du ngeon. T he dwa r ves f loat down a river trying to avoid being ambushed by the marauding Orcs. The fighting is extremely well choreographed. In an almost three hour movie, t hese t wo scenes on ly make up roughly thirt y minutes. The most anticipated moment of t he ent i re movie is the appearance of Smaug voiced by Benedict Cumberbatch. The digital effects of the dragon were pret t y i mpressive, but Bilbo’s interaction w ith him were mostly dialogue. Smaug was like a Jame Bond villain monologuing before the Hobbit about t he inev itabi lit y of everyone’s doom and the futility of ever reclaiming the mountain kingdom. For a movie about finally reaching Smaug, it takes two hours before you even see the dragon on screen. To be honest, I was completely lu kewa r m w i t h ‘A n Un e x p e c t e d Journey’ and that feeling cont i nues w it h ‘T he Desolation Of Smaug’. I was not blown away with t he pre s ent at ion a s a whole and felt completely unfulfilled at the abrupt ending to t he f ilm. For those who want to know ever y m i nute deta i l of Tolkien’s universe, ‘The D e s ol a t ion of Sm au g ’ will overload you with an overkill of them. If you a huge fan of the book, chances are you’ll love the second film, but it’s not a guarantee. No matter what I say, the ultra ravenous Middle Earth fanboys and girls will adore this movie and everything Peter Jackson m a ke s . T he mov ie b y all means isn’t horrific, but it ’s a n u n ne e de d over explanation of men ma k i ng a jou r ney to reclaim their home. VERDICT: On a scale of 1-10 I give this one a 7.5 My 2¢ -B

God has everything that is needed to see that it is done. He will do it perfectly, in the perfect way, at the perfect time. When we let Him bring to us what He has for us, we can receive it freely and enjoy it fully. Remember, G od k now s w hen to discontinue a trial because its purpose has been f u lf i l led. He g ives us t wo great promises concerning our trials: His comforting presence (Isaiah 43:2-3 and the assurance that He won’t permit more pressure than we can handle (1 Corinthians 10:13). So this Christmas let’s put Christ back in Christmas the way it should be and just praise Him for who He is and what He has done for us at the Cross. If we believe in His finished work on the Cross, we have the HOPE of spending eternal life with Him. So please join with me this Christmas season to worship the King of kings and the Lord of lords and to give God the glory for the great things He has done!!

The following was submitted by one of our readers, I hope to hear from more of you before the end of the year. Blessings, Anna “God with us,” a good name for the column in The Shopper by Anna Caison. When Christ ascended into heaven He gave us (believers) a gift, the Holy Spirit. WOW! Having God’s power within us is absolutely amazing to me and He gives us the peace that passes all understanding. L i ke ever yone else i n t h is world of disappointment and sometimes despair, I have been through many trials, some big and some small but with every trial, I have grown closer to God and I thank Him for that every day. God will take us through all of our trials and He will mold us and make us grow through it all. I have learned that I need to stand still and let God move and let God fight my battles for me. I have also learned that because God is almighty, I have been set free from thinking that I need to manipulate circumstances, ma neuver people, ma nu fact u re resources, or move ahead of God in order to bring to pass what He has for our lives.

Health Professions Programs To Provide More Opportunities For Job Seekers When Illinois Governor Pat Quinn held a press conference at South Suburban College (SSC) last February to announce funding for a $52.9 million addition for healthcare training, the college already had nine Health Professions programs from which students could choose to pursue careers for the in-demand healthcare jobs of the Chicago region. Now, SSC is offering four new programs that will provide further opportunities for residents of the Southland and Lake County areas. The new programs are Community Health Worker, Nanoscience Technolog y, Speech Language Patholog y Assistant, and a shorter six credit hour Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) Program. “We are always looking for opportunities to develop new programs that will both meet the needs of the workforce and provide rewarding career opportunities for residents of our community,” said Jeff Waddy, Dean of Health Professions. “These four newest programs are only going to add what we already have in place, and we are excited about cultivating them now with an eye towards an exciting new facility addition in the future.” Community Health Workers are frontline public health workers that serve as a liaison between health, social services and the community to facilitate access to services and improve the qua lit y and cultura l competence of service delivery. This program is offered as a 63 credit hour Associate Degree, a 39 credit hour Certificate, or a 20 credit hour Basic Certificate Program. The Nanoscience Technology Program provides students

The Speech Language Pathology Assistant Program is a 68 credit hour Associate Degree track that prepares individuals to work in a health or educational setting under a registered speech pathologist with at least two years of professional experience. Assistants generally work with equipment maintenance, patient assessment, paperwork and execution of speech pathologist treatment plans. The EMT Program is a six hour Basic Certificate course that is the first step in training for paramedics in various settings including ambulance services, fire departments and volunteer emergency care services. The EMT-B license is required before enrolling in the 31 credit hour EMS Program. These new programs join the comprehensive Health Professions offerings t hat include Echocardiography, Ultrasound, Medical Assistant, Medical Records Technology, Phlebotomy, Occupational Therapy Assistant, Radiologic Technology, MRI Technology, and Pharmacy Technician. As for the Health Professions addition, SSC recently received the initial funds to commence the planning stages. “This project will create hundreds of jobs now and lay the foundation for thousands more to get the training they need to become the next generation of nurses and medical technicians,” said Governor Quinn back in February. “By working together now, we can drive more economic growth in the future.” Visit www.ssc.edu to learn more about SSC programs and services.

Divorce And Beyond The parish of St. John the Evangelist is offering a program for individuals who are struggling with the issue of divorce. Deacon Ed Bodley notes; “Divorce is not an event that takes place in a courtroom, it is a process. It is a process that begins long before the divorce decree is finalized. The same holds true for people in need of healing; that too is a process. Often times, people who are faced with a painful divorce are unequipped to deal w ith the many hardships that this presents.” T he s uc c e s sf u l l y pr oven prog r a m entitled; “DIVORCE AND BEYOND” will be employed to help those who are in this situation. It is a ten step program that deals with the new realities brought on by divorce. For sale: 2-mens leather jackets, 1-deep dark brown, size X-large, perfect condition $25 ea; 1-black size large, good condition. 815462-6930

Riley’s Corner

The sessions take place in a confidential support group setting that includes others who are struggling with this issue as well as some who have already had and can share their own divorce experience. “People in this situation need a place where they can vent their anger, pain and frustrations”, Deacon Bodley said. The initial part of the program is designed for just that. It then transitions to offering experienced advice as to how to best cope with one’s new realities. Then, ultimately it leads to issues of healing, growth and moving forward with one’s life. We a re schedu led to meet on ten consecutive Monday’s at 7 PM beginning on January 6, 2014. Please contact Deacon Ed Bodley (219) 365-7784 for further details.

Mayor’s Christmas Message 2013 RILEY ROGERS

It’s hard to believe that it is already time to say Merr y Christmas, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year. Looking back I have to say we have had a busy and fruitful year here in Dolton. We have seen many accomplishments and changes for the better. As I travel around our Village and residents say,” Mayor I want to help you change this Village to make it a better place to live”, it makes me work even harder for the residents. I have a lways been awa re of t he magnificent community spirit here in Dolton, and that has been reinforced many times in recent weeks as I move around our town, speak with residents and attend many functions. From the perspective of Mayor, it’s heartening to see the degree of community involvement in our town. Christ mas a lways hera lds a t ime for a quiet reflection, to reminisce over

where we have been and what we have accomplished during the preceding year. It is a time to establish aspirations and goals for the New Year. Christmas is a special time for all of us. A time to spend with family and f r iends a nd I’m persona l ly look i ng forward to spending some quality time with my family and ever increasing circle of friends. Christmas is a time for sharing and caring for each other as we join together with loved ones. This Christmas let us take time out to think of those less fortunate than ourselves. On behalf of myself, the staff and employees of the Village of Dolton, I wish you and your families a safe, peaceful and joyful Christmas and Happy New year. Riley H. Rogers - Mayor Village of Dolton

Dolton Park District Celebrates the Holidays

Dolton residents enjoy each others company and a delicious meal.

The Dolton Fieldhouse was the venue for the annual Dolton Park District Christmas Party. Hundreds of Dolton residents were in attendance and were treated to a delicious meal and warm companionship. The Dolton Park Board worked hard to make this the best Christmas party around. Christmas music played and the Elementary School Band from District 148 entertained the crowd. Mayor Rogers commented, “I am so glad to be a strong supporter of the Dolton Park District and the fine work they do in the community. I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!” Dolton resident, Richard Hubners commented, “My wife and I moved to Dolton from the Netherlands over 50 years ago. We wanted to live in America and we wanted to live with people of diferent nationalities. I did not want to be isolated by living only with people of my own ethnicity. Dolton gave me the opportunity to live and work among true Americans. I’m proud to call Dolton home and want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas!” The Dolton Park District is committed to providing creative recreational programming opportunities through diverse programs, and outstanding customer service. We provide and maintain quality recreational facilities and parks to enhance the quality of life in the village of Dolton. We are proud to say we have been providing the citizens in our community with activities, programs and services for over 85 years and our success is because of the supportive Dolton community. The Dolton Park will continue to make improvements to best serve the residents of Dolton. This includes park upgrades, building upgrades, new programs, community events, trips and activities that are cost effective to residents, . The Dolton Park District Board of Commissioners and staff are proud and honored to be your Public Park and Recreation advocates! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Open Medicare File Hurt Senior

WOODROW WILCOX A senior citizen client visited my of f ice a few t i mes for help. Her daughter or g r a n d d a u g ht e r w ou l d translate. I speak some Spanish, but not enough to resolve a complicated problem. The client is from Hammond, Indiana. My review of t he papers a nd bi l ls conv i nced me t hat I did not have some key fac t s. So, we phoned Medicare and requested copies of some missing forms. When I reviewed t he m issi ng for ms, I d iscovered t he ma i n problem. Med ica re had a n open file on our client. Med ica re t houg ht t hat the client was injured in a car accident and that a n insura nce compa ny should pay for her medical claims before Medicare did. But, our client was t he v ict im of a v iolent crime in which a car was used. When a man in a car reached and grabbed her purse to rob her, she was injured and almost d ied. T h i s er roneou s belief by Medicare caused her medica l bills to be i mproperly ca lcu lated. So, Medicare was paying nothing and the bills were not getting paid. With the client present, I phoned three different offices of Medicare and a private insurance claims clea r i ng house. The daughter was amazed at all the work and phone c a l l s I d id to get ou r client’s problem fixed.

T he cl ient spoke to me a nd her d au g ht er translated. “My mother wants to ma ke you a wonder f u l Mexican dinner. Do you like Mexican food? ” the daughter asked me. “Uh, uh, I don’t know,” I answered. I didn’t have the heart to tell her that many years ago I ate at a Mex ica n restau ra nt i n Ciudad Juarez and became very, very ill. I really hope that I like what the client makes for me. I appreciate being appreciated. All the help that I gave this client was FREE OF CH A RGE. The ow ners, managers, and staff of this insurance agency really do care about our senior citizen clients. We “go the extra mile” to help our clients when a Medicare related medical bill error threatens to harm a client f ina ncia lly. Does your i nsu ra nce agenc y g ive this high level of service to senior citizen clients? If not, why not? Note : Woodrow Wi lcox is the senior medical bill case worker at Senior Care I n su r a nc e S er v ic e s i n Merrillville, Indiana. He has helped clients of that insurance agency to save over one million dollars by cor rec t i ng med ic a l bi l l er rors t hat were caused by m ista kes i n the Medicare system. He wrote the book SOLVING MEDIC A R E PROBLEM $ (w w w.solv ingmedicareproblems.com).

We All Get Some Coal in Our Stockings ARLO KALLEMEYN T here is a t rad it ion t hat naug ht y k id s got coal in their stockings at Christmas time. We a ll must be naug ht y since we a re get t i ng a for m of coal in our stockings this Christmas. The coal starts in the Alberta area of Canada in the form of ta r sa nds oi l. A lber ta tar sands oil is made up of clay, sand, water and heav y black viscous oil. Because it is so thick, it also requires dilution with lighter hydrocarbons to make it transportable by pipelines. This Ca nadia n ta r sa nds oi l is pu mped t h r ou g h t he E nbr id ge pipeline that runs through t h i s a rea . E nbr idge i s i nv e s t i n g $1. 5 bi l l ion to insta ll a new, bigger line t hat w ill ser ve t he BP W h it i ng Ref i ner y a nd ot her M idwester n ref iner ies. Enbr idge recently won government approval to run its three foot pipeline under private land in the Illiana area. Eminent domain is how t he gover n ment t a ke s private property - and will be the topic for another column. W hen t he Ca nadia n tar sands oil finally make it to the BP refinery, it is ref i ne d i nto g a s ol i ne. The problem is that tar sands oil is dirtier than lighter crude oil, which is the traditional supply for gasoline ref iner ies. Pumping cr ude oil t h roug h a coker is t he first step in the refining process. E x posi ng it to high heat draws out l ig hter oi l t hat i s processed into gasoline. This leaves behind petcoke as a spongy coal concentrated with carbon, sulfur and heavy metals. BP w i l l produce more t ha n 2 m i l l ion tons of petcoke a year at W hiting, up from about 700,000 tons before the refinery was overhauled to process oil from the tar Wrought iron floor lamps, black 5-1/2 tall 7 feet tall each $35; green velevet upholstered chair $150; pair of square marble top tables $50. 708-333-7461 Rod iron round table $60; large black TV table/glass top $100; large coffee table varnished $100, never used TV/2 speakers $100. 708-3337461

sands region of Alberta. A ll this petcoke is now being shipped out of the W hiting refiner y and is stockpi led in Il linois – just over t he state line along the Calumet River. Last summer windy days caused t his petcoke to b e c ome a i r b or ne a nd cover the neighborhoods to t he nort h. Residents compla ined of burning eyes, sore t h roat s a nd t hei r hou ses a nd c a r s being covered by this coal dust. Most of the petcoke are shipped out of the area to coal-fired electric plants. They burn the petcoke and create electricity. Because petcoke emits more smogfor m ing su lf u r d iox ide and heat-trapping carbon diox ide t ha n coa l, U.S. regulations tightly control the amount that can be burned without elaborate pollution controls. The owners of the land have ta ken to watering dow n the petcoke piles along the river, but have refused to cover the piles since it will hinder moving the product to barges and railcars. The petcoke piles have gained the attention of Chicago Mayor Rahm Em ma nuel a nd Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez, who may weigh in with regulations. T h is a rea ha s a r ich tradition of being friendly to business and commerce – a nd we a l l enjoy t he economic benef its of a healthy economy. I trust t hat we w ill a lso va lue clean air, water and our environment. Hopefully our elected officials and business leaders can solve t h i s p e t c ok e pr oble m before nex t Ch r ist ma s comes. Gett ing coa l in Christmas stockings is no fun for anyone.

The Teachers’ Forum JUDITH PADGETT Expectations- we all have them and at this time of year those expectations can be great. We tend especially at this time of year, to want everything to be picture perfect. Yet, real life is not like that, we can cause ourselves a lot of grief when we try too hard to create what we believe to be the right environment. We can be hard on ourselves and in turn hard on others, when we expect too much. When we want everything to be picture perfect, chances are that we have this underlying desire to control everything in our life. We often do this because we want to feel secure, it gives us the illusion that we are on top of things and that everything is working out according to our plans. Yet, life is not so easily managed, and there will always be factors involved that are beyond our control. In addition, life by its nature is messy, there will always be elements t hat a re outside of ou r control and we need to expect that, not in a fatalistic way, yet in a way that is realistic. We need to make room for life and just let it happen. We don’t have to understand everything we don’t have to spend endless hours trying to navigate or correct whatever has blind sighted us. The holiday season is a special of time of year, yet often it is also a painful one, as memories surface that are not pleasant. In addition, we often spend time with relatives that we might not see at any other time of year; holidays can indeed be a mixed bag. When we find our self in this

scenario we need to forgive and let go of what is past, and to make allowances for others. However we cannot do this in our strength, we need God’s help to navigate through these choppy waters with wisdom and discernment. Expectations are also unmet when we expect something from others that they simply cannot give. We may have to do some internal inventory, if we find this to be a reoccurring pattern. We need to recognize that the common denominator in those relationships is our self. Perhaps our expectations are unrealistic… Perhaps we need to rethink our level of connection with someone. The rules of engagement c a n be d i f ferent w it h each u n ique relationship, and we need to operate within its perimeters. Then there may relationships that are toxic, they seem to bring an ongoing sense of pain...They may be likened to getting close to a porcupine, they stick it to you every time! They may do so unwittingly or ignorantly yet that does alter the effect! U lt i mately, I bel ieve we need to owe up to our expectations, if we tend toward disappointment, if we’re always getting hurt, or feeling let down, we need to look inward and upward, if we wear ourselves out, trying to create a perfect env i ron ment, we m ig ht need to ask ourselves what is behind it? There is no shame, in knowing that we are all works in progress, this side of Heaven….

Real Estate Questions & Answers CATHY & JIM HIGGINS Question: My friend had a contract on her home. They went through negotiations and the buyer walked away. My friend came down to a price that she thought was fair. Did the buyer just not want the home very badly? Answer: Without seeing the contract, that’s a tough one to answer. Was the home priced correctly or was it too high for t he ma rket to beg in w it h? W hat condition was the home? What else was negotiated? When selling a home, you need to remember that not only do you want to get the best possible price for your home, you need to make the buyers feel like they have won on some issues that are important to them. No one likes a business deal that seems lopsided in the other persons favor. When negotiating, there are several areas where you can allow the other pa rt y to wa lk away w it h a w in. The most obvious is the agreed upon selling price. If there is a big price gap between you and the buyer, you can either meet their price or give a little on price or on a combination of price and concessions on some other items. These concessions could be appliances, draperies, or that

pool table you don’t want to move, etc. One seller even offered the buyer a free puppy. A not her a rea of accom modat ion involves the date when the seller will give occupancy to the buyer. The give and take that goes on to determine the occupancy date often provides an opportunity to respond to the needs of the other party. The seller may need additional time after closing or the seller can allow immediate occupancy after closing to the buyer because of the buyer’s situation. Your, (or your friends) willingness to help in this situation may be appreciated a nd a l low you to ga i n some ot her concessions that is more important to you. The bottom line is…it is a business deal and Both parties Must Win!

A Christmas Story Celebrates 30 Years On Sunday, December 22nd, local composer a nd mu sic ia n, Keena n Baxter, will be performing Christmas Jazz “originals,” on keyboards from Noon – 2:00 pm at the Indiana Welcome Center in Hammond Indiana. Ever since Keenan was asked to perform Christmas music at the Candlelight Tour eight years ago, Keenan has been working on his own original versions of Christmas music. “I spend between sixty to one hundred hours on each song,” stated Keenan. It’s a tedious, laborious and pain staking process to re-write every track, but the end result has been worth it. Keenan’s Christmas versions are very upbeat with increased tempo and extra notes added similar to Manheim Steamroller. Valparaiso’s own multi-talented and Grammy Contender Keenan Baxter is a very accomplished musician in his own right, and performs and composes on keyboards. Keenan’s dance song “Decent,” made t he Top 40 Ind ie Records worldwide in 2004 and Keenan was a Grammy Contender in 2006.

Pondering My Blessings MIKE BUDER In my first year or two in the business (early 80’s) a young couple wanting to buy t heir f irst home wa l ked i nto ou r of f ice look ing for an agent to help them. That was my f loor time day, so I was happy to talk with them. They looked and seemed young – and they were – not even twenty yet. They were expecting their first baby a nd were such a nice young couple. The young man was such an earnest guy wanting to find a home for his wife and soon to be 1st child. We talked for sometime and it was clear to me they couldn’t afford much. Our normal sale at that time was between $40,000 and $60,000 and I knew they were not going to be able to afford anything in our local market. They loved the area but it just wasn’t possible by a long shot. But I didn’t want to burst their bubble at that point because maybe they had some fol k s t hat cou ld help them out. I set the young couple up with a lender to get qualified and suggested that they call me once they knew what their budget was going to be. Several days later the earnest young man called me back and was proud as he could be to say they could afford to buy a home around $15,000. I had no idea where to find a home in that price range in our area since it just didn’t exist in our market. The young man said he drove by a home in a mobile home pa rk some mi les away a nd saw a home priced at $14,000, could they see it today? I was a bit taken back as I’d never sold a mobile home before and wasn’t sure at all what that was all about. I took a moment to ta l k w it h my broker (my Dad at the time) and he assured me we could handle a mobile home sale. So off I went

to look at this tiny home w it h t he couple ! They fell in love w it h it a nd saw it as their 1st castle! I remember thinking-How cool is this! We wrote up a cont ract on t he spot and proceeded to move for ward. But…a ll heck broke loose as it wasn’t so easy to find financing for a mobile home of this size and age. Somehow we made it all come together. This young couple was so grateful to have someone c a re enoug h to se e it through with them. Over the years, this couple has boug ht a nd sold ma ny homes and referred other clients to me. On the day we closed, I became so aware that it didn’t matter so much as the price of the home but rather helping a truly sincere couple find their “dream home”. It was a big gift to both of us. To t his day I’ve never run across qu ite a not her scenario like this one but I’ve never forgotten it. As our local market took a dive from 2007 til 2010, I’ve been able to help many folks through some pretty tough times and I’m glad t hat I cou ld rega rd less of whether or not the big checks followed at close. I knew I had the skill and experience to help folks in need and honestly I have been personally blessed and am thankful for each and every deal.

End of the year…Time to pay-Off Debt?

ARTHUR V. VEAL IV I always love the end of t he yea r. It’s a great time to spend with family and friends, a good time to pass presents and give thanks, and a great time to negotiate! That’s right, the end of the year and t h e b e g i n n i n g of t h e year are a great time to negotiate with creditors to reduce debt. I stumbled across t his by accident when I called a creditor to negotiate a settlement on a debt. The creditor informed me that at the end of the year collection compa n ies, cred itor s , and the like want to close out t hei r book s on old accounts. They often get bonuses for closing out accounts before the years end. So t hat creditor is usually more flexible to cut you a deal at the end of the year. But hold on, I k now what you a re t hin k ing. Your thinking, I cant pay off that old debt now. Here comes Christmas ! Well, heres a little trick I learned that can help you. Sign up for a Christmas sav ings program that takes money out of your paycheck or account ever y month or pay period. At the end of the year take half of that

money a nd apply it to settling old debts and take the other half and add it to your Christmas money. You have a built in debt reduction system that lets you have a little fun as well. In my previous articles I discussed how to negotiate with a creditor so go back a nd look at those articles if you want to see the tricks I use to negot iate. A l so, i f you can’t save in December, still give that creditor a call in January. Creditors know that tax returns are coming so they will still work a good deal with you early in the year. Remember, use these tips to get your finances in order. Most people have had some problem in the past and its not what you have messed up on but what you do f rom t h is point forward that decides your future! Till next week, Good luck and God Bless and remember… If you a re facing foreclosure or can’t sell your home, visit us at www.sellonterms.com and learn about the alternative ways to sell your home in 7 days…GUARANTEED!

Treasured Letters From The Past MARJORIE ALICE DEVRIES The radio is play ing non-stop Ch r ist mas music, the TV is running one Christmas movie after the next, and there are enticing toy commercials for kids’ in-between. The new t hing I noticed this year is the spotlight on our military, who won’t make it home for Chr ist mas. For exa mple, a f ter hea ring a Christmas song on the radio, I hear a message f r om a d au g hter w ho is ser v ing our count r y overseas. She sends a message on-a i r to her mom and dad. On the internet, there’s a video of a soldier who made it home before Christmas, and surprised her family. It’s important to stay c on n e c t e d . W h e t h e r it’s t h roug h t he rad io, internet or writing a letter, our US troops need our love. Here’s a letter f rom Sgt. Robert Buetow, 54 th Armored Field Artiller y Bat t a l ion i n W W II, to h i s w i fe ( he c a l l s her mommy): Tuesday, June 5, 1945 Mommy dearest, No mail from you again tod ay, which makes it four days in a row, so I’m lonelier than ever tonight. I d on’t h av e mu c h time to write tonight even though I didn’t write last night, so please forgive me if this is a short letter. Hone y, in th at box of souvenirs I sent, were

there some pictures also? I know I included them in that box, but you’ve never mentioned having received them. Ju st a year ago tomorrow the inva sion started , and a lot ha s certainly happened since then. We’re much, much closer to being together again than I ever thought we would be by now. I im ag ine you’re already making plans for a vacation this year—I suppose you get one, don’t you? How wonderful it would be if things worked out so that I could take one with you! I don’t know yet just what the status of our division is, but we should know pretty soon. As soon as I find out, I’ll let you know! If I can find the right size envelope, I’ve got some more write-ups about us that I’ll send to you. Time to sign off now, so here comes all that love and those kisses from your lonelier-than-ever hubby, Bob Marjorie Alice DeVries is a f reela nce w r iter devoted to sha ring t he priceless treasure of war letters, each one a unique w indow into a life that once was.

What’s Your Big Idea? KEVIN BRADLEY People a re of ten unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. If you are successful, you w i l l w in some u n fa it h f u l f r iends a nd some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway. If you a re honest and sincere, people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway. What you spend years creat i ng , ot hers cou ld destroy overnight. Create anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway. Give t he best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway. In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway. A similar stanza wa s or ig i na l ly w r it ten in 1968 by Dr. Kent M. Keit h (The Paradoxical Comm andment s) . T h i s ver sion i s c re d ite d to Mot her Teresa . It w a s found written upon a wall of her home for children in Calcutta, India. The immaculate w isdom of this passage sum ma r i zes for us t he importance of liv ing in the manner we know to be proper. It calls upon us to be genuine to ourselves regardless of the opinions or a c t i on s o f ot h e r s . Finally, it reassures us that by doing so, by being the being we were meant to be, continually striving for

self fulfillment of serenity, peace, happiness, wisdom, c r e a t i v i t y, k i n d n e s s , success, a nd ha r mony with others, deserving or not…it reassures us that to be true to ourselves in this manner is to be true to God, and that is that which really matters. As we approach Christmas and the New Year, we consider how we may better ourselves as human beings. Adopting some of t he w isdom espoused w it h i n t hese simple profound words would be a worthy goal for us all. True w isdom need not be difficult to understa nd. Do not be defined by the views of ot her s . L e t y ou r ow n opinion of yourself and your actions hold more credence. “Di f f ic u lt y brea k s some men, a nd mends ot her s.”— Nel son M a nde l a … A l low l i f e’s trials and tribulations to become your inspiration to t hrive. Not hing new i s pr e s e nt e d he r e . I n today’s fast paced world it is too easy to misplace common sense w isdom of the ages. Good advice never goes out of st yle. Becoming a better person is as simple as emulating g reat people a nd t hei r w i sdom . Q ue st ion s or comments may be sent to kevinbradley@columnist. com. Good luck, K.B. I have received some reader E-ma i l w h ich I have not yet responded to. I have attempted to, but appear to be having issues with sending E-mails, and have not had the time to f ig ure out how to work a rou nd t h is. I a m not ignoring you, and plan to keep trying to respond.

M I K E C AVOTO A N D K E L LY H O S T H O L I D AY PA R T Y A F T E R 2 Y E A R HIATIS: Pictured here in the Jack Binyon Steakhouse of the Horseshoe Casino in Hammond are Mike and Kelly surrounded by clients with whom they have done business over the past 20 plus years. The clients are all Realtors/Brokers who have relied on Mike Cavoto and his lending skills to secure home mortgages for their clients. Mike has a never fail team in place led by Kelly Cann. All things being equal, and in accordance with government regulations, if a deal is ‘doable’ Mike will get it done. The evening, Thursday December 12, 2012, was especially sweet given that Mike is a cancer survivor. Just two years ago he faced a serious challenge with neck and throat cancer. Never one to give up, Mike fought the good fight and with help from great doctors at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, chemo and radiation, and lots of love from Kelly and his friends, he is now cancer free. In his talk at the party, Mike tearfully remembered two great friends who were not as lucky as himself-- Broker Jim Knoll and Appraiser Chris Arvia, both of whom passed away from cancer, and after that somber remembrance, the atmosphere turned joyful and the evening was on track with fabulous food and a hand or two at the tables before calling it a night. Thanks for the great party Mike and Kelly! Blessings Always and Merry Christmas! ***
