May is Older Americans Month A meeting with the National Council of Senior Citizens resulted in President John F. Kennedy designating May 1963 as Senior Citizens Month, encouraging the nation to pay tribute to older people across the country. In 1980, President Jimmy Carter’s proclamation changed the name to Older Americans Month, a time to celebrate those 65 and older through ceremonies, events and public recognition.

Here are some statistics about older Americans, as provided by the Census Bureau.

• 41.4 million - The number of people who were 65 and older in the United States on July 1, 2011, up from 40.3 million on April 1, 2010 (Census Day). In 2011, this group accounted for 13.3 percent of the total population.

• 92.0 million - Projected population of people 65 and older in 2060. People in this age group would comprise just over one in five U.S. residents at that time. Of this number, 18.2 million would be 85 or older.

• 2.4 million - Projected number of baby boomers in 2060. At that time, the youngest baby boomers would be 96 years old.

• 2056 - The year in which, for the first time, the population 65 and older would outnumber people younger than 18 in the U.S. • Nearly 17 percent - Projected percentage of the global population that would be 65 and older in 2050, up from 8 percent today.

In 2005, Europe became the first major world region where the population 65 and older outnumbered those younger than 15. By 2050, it would be joined by Northern America (which includes Canada and the United States), Asia, Latin

CHICAGO — Summer break is quickly approaching for high school and college students and many of them will be searching for summer jobs.

The Better Business Bureau serving Chicago and Northern Illinois is warning students about job scams that could result in a loss of money and a waste of time. These could include work-at-home jobs paying high salaries for simple work and sales or pyramid schemes.

“Searching for jobs is not always easy and what may sound too good to be true probably is,” said Steve J. Bernas, president and CEO of the Better Business Bureau serving Chicago and Northern Illinois.

“Job hunters need to take appropriate measures to avoid being deceived by scams.”

The BBB offers some tips for students when looking for summer job opportunities: • If you are offered a job without a formal interview or job application, it is most likely a scam. Do not provide any personal or financial information, as it can lead to identity theft.

• If the employer does not provide you with the details of the job in writing, be wary. When you have details in writing, be sure to read them carefully and ask questions.

• If the employer does not have

a website or contact information is missing, consider that a red flag.

• If the employer requires fees for training, background checks or drug tests, it is likely to be a scam.

• If an employer offers you a lot of money for simple work or to work at home, it is most likely too good to be true.

• If you cannot find reviews of the business anywhere on the Internet, be wary as it is likely to be a scam. Check the potential employer’s BBB Business Review to see if the employer has a good rating.

If you experience or have experienced a scam, report it to your local BBB at www.bbb.org.

Parents eagerly anticipate the moment when their child first begins to talk.

But for some parents, it is a time of anxiety because their child struggles to get words out.

The DVD, Stuttering and Your Child: Help for Parents, helps parents detect stuttering and take action toward helping their child and is available at most local libraries including, Mason Memorial Public Library in Buda, Ladd

Public Library, Mineral Gold Public Library, Ohio Public Library, Princeton Public Library, Sheffield Public Library, Richard A. Mautino Memorial Library in Spring Valley, Tiskilwa Public Library, Walnut Public Library and Raymond A. Sapp Memorial Township Library in Wyanet.

Produced by the nonprofit Stuttering Foundation, the film describes what kinds of stuttering young children may

exhibit, how parents can help at home and the role of a speech pathologist in evaluating and treating children who stutter.

Strategies parents can use to help reduce stuttering are also given throughout the DVD and include reducing the number of questions they ask the child, focusing on taking turns during conversations and making time to read or talk with the child in a relaxed manner.

The Nexus, iPad and laptop are not available for checkout, but visitors will have the opportunity to try them while in the library. These items have been made possible through the Eliminate the Digital Divide Grant.

On the road David Rogers’ Big Bugs invades the Morton Arboretum LISLE – Larger-than-life insects are invading Chicagoland this summer, as The Morton Arboretum celebrates the world of bugs with David Rogers’ Big Bugs exhibition.

Through Sept. 8, the Arboretum will be a hive of activity highlighting our insect world. Stare up in amazement at 12 largerthan-life insect sculptures and feel what it’s like to be a bug! On display will be an oversize bee hive, lady bug, assassin bug, damselfly, spider, daddy long legs, praying mantis, dragon fly, grasshopper and three ants - some nearly 10 feet tall. The sculptures are built using natural materials including willow, cedar, walnut, and other woods, supported by metal armatures.

“When you’re standing in the shadow of these giant sculptures, you really get a feel for what it’s like to be a bug,” says Mary Samerdyke, manager of interpretation. “This exhibit helps you see bugs in a new way and appreciate the many ways bugs help us even when we don’t realize it! Kids of all ages really respond to David Rogers’ Big Bugs and it’s exciting to see visitors experiencing new things—such as insect petting zoos or edible bugs — and having fun while learning.”

To celebrate the exhibition, the Arboretum is offering interactive, bugthemed activities all summer long.

Throughout the summer, kids can pick up their free Official Bug Detective Guide and uncover the truth about bugs as they explore the exhibit.

Continue exploring the world of bugs in the Children’s Garden through our self-guided drop-in programs. In June, test your skills in a bug board game and make a ladybug mask at our Lovely Ladybugs program. Then learn about ants and make an a-mazeing craft at Ants in Your Plants.

In July, check out Splendid Spiders, where you can discover where spiders live and how they help gardens.

Then, at Grand Grasshoppers, learn all about grasshoppers and why they’re

so noisy.

Come August, it’s all about bugs with wings. At From Water to Wings, learn about dragonflies and make a winged craft. At Butterflies and Blossoms, find out facts about butterflies and create a disguise.

This September, it’s Mantis Mania: Spotting these camouflaged creatures can be harder than you think! Find out some of the unique habits a mantis has and make a camouflaged creature to take home. At Busy Bees, buzz around like a busy little honey bee, make a bee mask and find out what all the buzz is about. Children’s Garden drop-in programming is sponsored by Navistar.

The Morton Arboretum is an internationally recognized outdoor tree museum on 1,700 acres.

Plant collections, scientific research and education programs support the mission to plant and conserve trees and other plants for a greener, healthier and more beautiful world.

Designed with natural landscapes, the grounds include the award-winning, four-acre interactive Children’s Garden, the oneacre Maze Garden, plus specialty gardens, 16 miles of trails and nine miles of roads. Visitor experiences include the open-air tram ride, guided walks, Arbor Day celebrations, concerts, art shows, Fall Color Festival, and special exhibits.

The Arboretum welcomes more than 800,000 visitors annually and serves more than 35,600 members.

Located 25 miles west of Chicago in Lisle, the Arboretum is open daily 7 a.m.
