arlo kallemeyn A few weeks back I wrote about a joint supplement that has helped my tennis elbow (I’m not sure where I got this kind of elbow – I don’t even play tennis). Well my voice mailbox got filled up with people who are asking where they can get it. I apologize if I have not returned your call – we are a little busy here at The Shopper since it is election season. Here are the details of the joint supplement called FruiteX-B. It is made by a company called FutureCeuticals and they are a unit of Van Drunen

Farms in Momence, Illinois. You can call them at 800-862-0438 for more details and even a free sample. That’s a pretty good deal – they will pay for your phone call with an 800 number - and send you a free sample of this healthy joint supplement. I hope it works for you as well as it does for me. Who knows maybe this summer we can all go take tennis lessons together. Arlo Kallemeyn Shopper Publisher and big fan of feeling younger than my age.

South Suburban College Foundation seeks support for “Ruby Anniversary Scholarship Fundraiser” $125 each. The event begins at 6:30 p.m. and features an open bar and plated dinner, silent auction, dancing, and the outstanding music of The Connexion Band.

Rescue Dog Turns Hero The Gomez family of Highland, IN, believes their dog Addie is redefining the term rescue dog. Erica Gomez believes her family did not save Addie; Addie saved her family. “It’s immeasurable how much Addie affected us, she has given us our lives back,” said Erica. Erica and Michael Gomez have two children, both with disabilities. Colin, 9, suffers from attention defect disorder and severe anxiety. Eric, 6, was diagnosed with sensory issues. Colin’s disorder causes him to have restless nights. Erica claims Colin would previously wake up between two and three times per night. “The first week we had Addie Colin slept completely through the night, it was the first full week of sleep we have had in years,” said Erica. Sensory issues cause Eric to engage in very aggressive touch. He is also prone to having emotional outbursts. “The way a two or three year old would throw a tantrum is how he would throw a tantrum at six years old,” said Erica. Erica said there is a lot to uncover still about Eric’s disorder, but Addie has been their most effective resource. Addie has given Eric an outlet for his need for physical interaction and emotional release. “He can pull on her and lay on her, and she does not mind it. I actually think she kind of likes it,” said Erica Erica tried many different remedies for her children’s disabilities. She believes Addie has been the most effective tool. “You name it we have tired it. Therapy, medications, meditation, yoga, and nothing helped. The only thing that works is a dog,” said Erica. Having a dog has made it easier for Eric and Colin to make Home Repair & Improvements. Carpentry, painting, drywall repairs, locks, lights, fans & more!

friends. Erica said her children are less afraid of going to other children’s houses. Colin said that he sleeps better now that Addie is a part of their family. “She calms me down because I know that she is watching over us,” said Colin. Since Addie was a rescue dog the Gomez family did not know her birthday. Colin and Eric were responsible for choosing Addie’s birthday. “Her birthday is May the Fourth, like May the Fourth be with you,” said Colin. “We both like Star Wars, but on an ordinary level,” Colin

later clarified. The Gomez family obtained Addie from I Wanna Go Home Rescue. I Wanna Go Home Rescue is a network of animal foster homes that work together to help find loving homes for displaced animals. The Founder of I Wanna Go Home Rescue Sue Hanlon obtained Addie from Hammond Animal Control. Hanlon claimed that Addie had such a good personality; she could not believe no one wanted her. Hanlon’s organization had such a positive effect on Erica and her family; she now volunteers. On Saturdays Erica helps coordinate Adoption Day’s with I Wanna Go Home Rescue, at Petco in Highland, Indiana. “It’s so important to give back to organizations like I Wanna Go Home Rescue because they have changed our lives,” said Erica. Erica once opposed to owning a dog. Addie completely changed her perception and she would like to become one of I Wanna Go Home Rescue’s foster families. “I want to extend the benefit of adopting a rescue animal to other people,” said Erica. Michael supports Erica’s goal. He also wants to share what Addie has given them with the community. “Addie has done so much for our family, it would be nice to see other families affected in a positive way,” said Michael. I Wanna Go Home Rescue has a network of foster homes across North West Indiana and Illinois. Animals available for adoption can be seen at Petco in Highland, IN, every Saturday from 10a.m.-3p.m.

Winter Play Production

The Wilbur Wright Theatre Company is pleased to present their annual “Evening of Theatre,” on February 21, 22, and 23, at 7:00pm. Tickets are available for $2 and $3 at the Munster Auditorium box office. This is the 11th year that Director Carol Lynn Brechner is bringing more than one type of theatre to the audience. From year to year this may vary from Reader’s Theatre, Mime Theatre, Monologues, or one and two-act plays. This year WWTC has the pleasure of presenting a Reader’s Theatre production of A Word, By Any Other Name, an introductory monologue by Alex Raycroft, and the two-act murder mystery parody, Gumshoe. Gumshoe is a wild parody of film, radio and TV murder mysteries is full of hilarious off-the-wall characters. Johnny (Alex Ramirez), a down-on-his-luck private eye, takes the case of Lawanda Baboomba (Paige Mecyssine), a golddigging floozy accused of murdering her wealthy husband. She’s a sculptor who creates statues from Spam. Things really get bizarre at her Spam retrospective art opening reception - an event catered by the police chief (Anthony Niemic)

DA (David Green) & Johnny (Alex Ramirez) _____________________________________

who thinks he’s a chef! The sneaky DA (David Green) pretends to fall in love with Lawanda, and when things go awry, the food police get into a fight with the pseudo-intellectual art critics. Lots of laughs, slapstick action along with a silly romance to keep things going to the final

big laugh. Ends with a twist! Other key players are Johnny’s doting secretary, Betsy Heartagold (Kalie Miles), Billy Youngbuck, a cub reporter (Elliott Fus), and Lieutenant Fletcher (Tara Layous).

Illinois Law Now!

Question: I am about to join a new company in a management position. Should I insist that my employer provide me with a written contract? Answer: An employer is under no obligation to provide a written contract to an employee. Most employment relationships are based on an oral agreement. However, if you do not have a written contract, your employer can fire you at any time for any reason without advance warning. There are exceptions. An employer may not fire or discriminate against you based on race, sex, color, disability, religion, etc. or because you made a complaint about the employer to a government agency. Furthermore, a written contract may put additional limits on the employer’s ability to fire you. Question: My condominium rules prohibit unit owners from keeping pets unless they are service animals or for medical reasons. What constitutes a “medical reason?” Answer: Under the Federal Fair Housing Amendments Act, condominium boards must allow a reasonable accommodation for trained service animals or emotional support animals. While emotional support animals don’t have to be trained, an applicant – in order to keep one in his or her unit – typically must show proof of a mental impairment that substantially limits his or her major life activities. Often this requires a written statement from a mental health professional.

Question: Are there laws on the books mandating that schools educate students about sexual assault and abuse? Answer: Under a new state law, schools must now implement an age-appropriate sexual assault and abuse awareness and prevention curriculum for grades pre-kindergarten through 12. Previously, the law applied only to secondary schools. The law also requires teachers to participate in professional development and training classes that cover sexual assault and abuse.

Jared Tomich Hopes to be Halo for Children Jared Tomich, former NFL player and founder of Halo for Hope Foundation, will be speaking at an event on Monday, March 4 at Halls of St. George in Schererville, Ind. Munster-Highland Tri Kappa will be sponsoring their annual fashion show event helping to raise money for a variety of charities, including Halo for Hope Foundation. Kappa Kappa Kappa, Inc., commonly known as Tri Kappa, is a unique philanthropic organization existing only within the boundaries of the state of Indiana. Each Tri Kappa chapter has special projects in its community for charity, culture, and education. Local chapters also support statewide projects. “We have the privilege of tremendous support for our cause,” Avarie Hansen, chairwomen for the event, said. “It is nights like the annual fashion show that really make that shine.” Halo for Hope Foundation seeks to send children with cancer to various camps, giving them the opportunity to feel like independent, healthy, free-spirited kids. “I’m thrilled for the opportunity to reach so many people at once,” Tomich said. The foundation also helps with local outreach in areas of Northwest Indiana, Omaha and Lincoln, Neb., as well as Chicago and Green Bay areas. Other goals for the foundation include creating resources for cancer stricken families in Tomich’s community, additional funding, counseling and ongoing fundraising events in all the

cities which he sponsors kids. “The financial support is great, but building awareness for Halo of Hope is really important,” Tomich said. “The more people excited about our foundation the more kids we can help.” Tri Kappa has sponsored the fashion show for many years, giving participants Champaign and dinner, with various vendors supplying a range of products to purchase, such as Scentsy candle warmers and Avon cosmetic supplies. “More than 500 people come out to have a good time, but they also give generously and that allows us to help many individual families throughout the year as well as local organizations who know they can depend on Tri Kappa’s support,” Hansen said. Tomich is a native of St. John, Ind., having a successful football career at Lake Central high school. After high school, he attended University of Nebraska and played defensive end for the Cornhuskers, helping the team win two of their three National Championship titles. After college, Tomich was a second-round NFL Draft pick for the New Orleans Saints in 1997. Later, he moved to the Green Bay Packers for the 2001 and 2002 seasons. Ending his career, Tomich was with the Kansas City Chiefs for the 2003 season. Tomich was first introduced to oncology patients during his

junior year at University of Nebraska. He and his teammates shaved their heads for a Husker fan with cancer. His foundation was spurred due to the interaction he had with various children stricken with cancer. Other charities and organizations receiving help from this event include Munster and Highland Police and Fire Departments, Haven House of Hammond, Ind., and student scholarships. Tri Kappa offers scholarships in the areas of academics, fine arts, music education, and to non-traditional students. Clothing for the models is donated from the Dress Barn in Schererville with hair and makeup being supplied by Texture Point and Merle Norman, respectively, both located in Highland. Other contributors include Highland Jewelers, Dunhill Tuxedos, and Dawn Guernsey of Pink Bus Productions. Each year, local chapters and state Tri Kappa give over $1.5 million to its endeavors of charity, culture and education. Since 1901, Tri Kappa members have donated untold hours and millions of dollars to projects in the state of Indiana. The fashion show event is from 5:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. and tickets for the event cost $35 and can be ordered by calling 219712-9413. Deadline for ordering is Monday, Feb. 25.

As a candidate for trustee of Dolton and running in the 2013 Election with Kiana Belcher, candidate for mayor, one of our community goals is a new look for Dolton.

ESTIMATES

Another view of Dolton occurs in the winter. It’s amazing how pure and clean a new snow makes everything look. When a fresh blanket is put over a burned out log, it still looks like a fresh blanket. This phenomenon of nature covers the many run down, burned out and destroyed properties that are among us. There is one problem with this winter vision, eventually the snow melts and guess what – that burned out, run down and destroyed property is still there. The momentary look of a well groomed village only lasts for a day or so until the streets are

plowed, salt is spread and the inevitable thaw occurs. Will this short look into a futuristic Dolton continue? This will happen only if the elected officials we put in office take a proactive position to community development. When this occurs, we do not have to rely on a fresh snow fall to cover up a town lacking in vision. We can actually look at a town that is progressing and be proud to say we live in Dolton. Have we just presented a concept that is beyond our Village’s goals? I don’t think so. But to obtain this we need the right people in decision making positions.

Together We Can. It just takes your vote.

Our inaugural AVID classes at Thornton Township HS began the year with a celebration of the students’ commitment to the AVID program at the Back-to-School Night Signing Day event. Students along with their parents joined us for the formal signing of the AVID student contract, light refreshments, and words of encouragement from Mrs. Ebonie Williams, AVID Administrator, Mrs. Andrea January, AVID Coordinator/Teacher, and Mr. Paul Carr, AVID Counselor. During the next few months, the students had the privilege of hearing from several guest speakers: AVID Site Team members, Mrs. Williams, Mr. Joseph Janowiak, and Ms. Deborah Blanusha who also brought her son, Nick, to share his story of individual determination in college, and our principal, Mr. Tony Ratliff.

In November, Mr. Carr coordinated our trip to University of Illinois at Chicago for a workshop to promote health careers to middle range students hosted by Area Health Education Center (AHEC). The students were visited by various health care professionals and were given the opportunity to ask questions, thereby practicing both Cornell note-taking and inquiry skills. TT AVID served as host in December for a special event, An AVID Homecoming, that included three distinct segments and allowed a number of our students to sharpen their leadership skills. The first segment, the talk show, brought three former AVID students (now college students) and two of our current AVID college tutors to share their high school and college experiences. While Mrs. January conducted a roundtable interview of these students who discussed the importance of taking good notes and evaluating one’s peer group among other matters, Mr. Carr and a student assistant filmed it and another student served as floor director for the show. During the next segment (the format of which was designed by Mrs. Kulig and Ms. Blanusha), the AVID students considered different aspects of their high school career such as academics and personal power and collaborated with Mrs. Kulig and several student leaders to create an AVID mantra. The guest college students returned during the final segment, the panel discussion, and were incredibly candid in response to the students’ questions. The talk show segment along with portions of the mantra activity will air on the Chicago Access Network Television (CAN-TV) show, LZ Productions Presents, on channel 36 at 1:30PM on March 16 and April 27. Our AVID students participated in another unique activity in January. To commemorate the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the students were invited to join high schools across the nation to screen an award-winning film about “the consequences of America’s failed drug war and the injustices of the current criminal justice system” called The House I Live In (sdconference.info). After the viewing and note-taking, the students discussed the implications of those consequences and injustices in small groups. In the months to come, TT AVID is planning to host politicians, physicians, attorneys, other professionals, and current college students, including former AVID students. We also plan to tour two or three local college campuses and take an overnight college tour, designed by our students.

GOD WITH US

God, Abraham & Me Anna M. Caison One way we recognize God’s presence is with us is when we find ourselves walking in the shoes of those who’ve gone before us; and in the heroes of faith we read about in the scriptures. When the thought came to me to leave the church my mother brought me up in and go to a place that would be showed to me, I assumed I had been studying too much. “Okay Anna, pull yourself together,” I said to myself. “That command was to Abraham to leave his father’s house, a place of idolatry. Your mother’s church is not a place of idolatry; it’s a place of worship. You’re active in several areas of ministry, surely God isn’t telling you to pack up and leave.” On Sunday afternoon following service, one of the church mothers approached me. She said, “Baby, God’s got a great work for you to do but you’ve got to leave this place and go where you can be trained.” Where would I go? Is God really telling me to leave? How will I know when I’m at the place where He wants me to be? After several weeks of pondering and prayer I packed up and began my journey of faith. Since Abraham went south, I traveled south listening, looking and trusting God to lead me to the place

He wanted me to go. In the process of my travels I’ve learned to discern God’s direction, experience His heart for people, to see and love others as He does, and be a part of His plan in meeting needs and leading many to faith in Him. I have also felt God’s heart for me through personal crisis----breast cancer, family conflicts, long term unemployment, failures, sin, and the need for His forgiveness. It is in my current tour that I came to realize the place God was leading me to. It is the same place He led Abraham to; a place of relationship with Him. Jesus has made it possible (through His death, for our sins, and His resurrection) for each of us to experience a personal relationship with God. What must one do to experience this connection with the Almighty? A-admit your need for a Savior; B-believe that Jesus is the Savior, and C-commit yourself to God asking Him to be the leader of your life. Also, join a Bible Study; it will help you discern His voice and His ways. For questions and/or comments, send an email to acaison@sbcglobal.net .

Lansing’s 120th Birthday Celebration

In March of 1893 the residents of the Lansing area gathered to vote on the decision of whether to organize as an incorporated village. The voting results of 67 for incorporation and 10 against (with one spoiled vote) were canvassed by a Cook County judge and two Justices of the Peace. That same court proceeding ordered an election to be held on the 18th day of April, 1893 at Busack’s Hall in the Village to elect a Village President, six Trustees, a Village Clerk and one Police Magistrate. Everyone is invited to attend Lansing’s 120th Birthday Celebration Sunday, March 3, 2013 from 2:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. at Park Plaza and the Lansing American Legion – Ridge Road and Henry Street. The celebration will include an opening ceremony with the Lansing Veteran’s Ceremonial Honor Guard,

performance by the Memorial Junior High Choir, and reading of the original document of incorporation from 1893 by Lansing Village Trustee Mikal Stole. Food vendors will be available inside the American Legion as well as beverages, including a cash bar. A slide presentation of photos of early Lansing is being planned by the Historical Society as is an ‘old time’ photo opportunity courtesy of Lansing Association of

Community Events (LACE). An area will be available inside the American Legion for Lansing service organizations to display their membership brochures. An activity is being planned for younger children as is a Time Capsule by the Lan Oak Park District. The Lansing Historical Society is working with our local historian Paul Schultz to plan a History Walking Tour of downtown Lansing for that day and of course there will be birthday cake! Other plans of celebration are underway. Watch for more details on the Village website; www.villageoflansing. org.

Everything Will Sell, Eventually mike buder Sellers who have selling experience under their belt, as well as real estate agents who have “been around the block” know everything sells – eventually. What I mean to say is that there are only so many factors that need to be considered in a property sale. If you owe too much and cannot lower your price, you might have to plan to wait a long time. Markets cycle; things change over time. If you wait long enough, the circumstances will eventually change. One example of things changing is interest rates. When I began selling real estate in the early 1980’s any rate under 10% was good for business. It was 14% to 17% for a while. No one would ever have guessed that today it would be 4% for a 30 year fixed rate mortgage. On the flip side, PRICE AND CONDITION ARE EVERYTHING. If you have the latitude to make adjustments, that’s exactly what you should do. Sometimes improving the property over what the standards are for homes in your price range will make a big difference. The other factor a seller has control over is price. Believe me. No one likes to “dump a property” or appear desperate. Everybody wants to receive as much as they can on a sale. I’m not talking about slashing your price. I’m talking about reducing below the competition so that your home becomes a value when compared to other

properties on the market with similar attributes. Lenders and banks that end up with property through foreclosure know this. A vacant home is just a “nonperforming” asset. The lender is likely to review the market and lower the price to compete so the property is one of the best priced on the market. The property will sell and the lender will get the home off their books and put that money back to work. Relocation companies know that, too. Homes priced right will sell. A Relo company will require monthly market evaluations to see what sales are happening on homes with similar qualities. They often will get the price right to sell, even though they don’t want to lose money, they also don’t want to sit on the market. If a home is priced right and the condition of the homes is better than the competition, the home will sell. On the flipside, if the home is overpriced there is no amount of advertising, open houses or other activity that will sell the home.

Poetry workshop to be held at Purdue University Calumet “Poetry Pantry: An Open Hand is an Open Heart- A Day of Poetry for Social Change,” will be held on Saturday, Feb. 23, from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Student Union & Library Building and is open to those age 8 and older. Hosted by Books Brushes & Bands for Education and the First Friday Wordsmiths of Purdue University Calumet, the pantry will be divided into adult and children’s sessions and will explore topics like bullying, codeswitching in poems, race and gender and discrimination. “The goal is to have people leave with the sense that words matter and can change the world for the better,” said Janine Harrison, faculty sponsor of the First Friday Wordsmiths and professor of English. The annual event began in 2010 as a children’s creative writing workshop but now focuses on poetry. “The sessions are a Convalescent equipment tub shower stool $20; walker $10; hospital bed; potty chair, sofa bed $50; high raised recliner $50; 7-drawer bedrm. dresser. 708-891-3876 Oak kitchen table and capt. chairs, with caster wheels $25; jogger stroller, like new $75; 5 gal. water cooler. 708889-0350 Armstong receding pipe threader with handle. 708271-0387 Nails: 16D 50lbs. 3-1/2” roffing 50lbs 1-1/2” drywall 50lbs. 1-1/2” fence staples, 10,000 pop rivets $60. 708271-0387 Color 17” TV, gold gym set with bench electric space heaters, ladders, sentry sale, wheel barrow tire, chrome rims, at good prices.

great bonding experience and really opens up children and adolescents’ eyes to the power of words,” said Harrison. Poems from the children’s sessions will be submitted to Indiana Kid’s Magazine for possible publication. Last year was the first to feature a session for adults and food collection— with a goal of 100 pounds. This year, the collection goal has been raised to 200 pounds and donations will go to the Northwest Family Services food pantry. The cost, which covers materials and lunch, is $20 per participant and $15 for each additional family member. Participants are also asked to bring a non-perishable food item for donation.

I LOVE SOUTH HOLLAND BECAUSE...

19058 Burnham Avenue, Lansing

I love South Holland because it’s a diverse community that believes in bringing people together to socialize, solve problems, and make the village a better community. The village’s faith base foundation (family, faith, future) aligns with my spiritual beliefs and values. I love that the village has friendly leaders and neighbors, and that it has codes and laws to support a healthy and safe community for everyone.

Hammer Toes

Hammer toes are actually a curling of the toes. Sometimes these are flexible and can be straightened with manipulation, or fixed which means they are always curled with arthritic changes that don’t allow straightening. Many times corns are found on the tops of these toes. Surgery can be performed to straighten these toes or occasional trimming of the corns can alleviate some of the pain. If you have any questions concerning hammer toes or any other problems, please stop by or call my office during office hours.

Be an Everyday Hero by Giving Blood During Red Cross Month Blood donors are Everyday Heroes who help save lives. During Red Cross Month, the American Red Cross recognizes these lifesavers, thanks them for their generosity and encourages others to join their ranks. “Red Cross Month is an ideal time for people to show support for our mission,” said Sharyn Whitman, CEO of the Indiana-Ohio Blood Services Region of the American Red Cross. “Anyone can become an Everyday Hero by giving blood or platelets, becoming a volunteer, making a financial donation or taking a class.” March was first proclaimed Red Cross Month in 1943 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Since that time, every president, including President Barack Obama, has designated March as Red Cross Month. The organization has been helping people for more than 130 years. The need for blood is constant. From cancer patients and accident victims to premature babies and those with blood disorders, someone in the U.S. needs blood every two seconds.

Town Of Griffith One Step Closer To A New Township State Rep. Hal Slager (R-Schererville) is pleased that House Bill 1585 passed out of the House today with a vote of 66-32. HB 1585 will allow the town of Griffith to vote by referendum to opt out of Calumet Township in Lake County. “Griffith is paying a large amount of taxes to a township government, without receiving very much in return,” said Rep. Slager. “This legislation will allow Griffith to move to join a township that allows for a more balanced tax to benefit exchange.” Current law prohibits a town or city to remove itself from a township or apply to join a new township by referendum. The city of Griffith in Lake County is partially included in Calumet Township. Calumet Township’s assistance tax rate is 20.5 times higher than the state average township assistance tax rate. HB1585 will result in lower bills for Griffith property owners and increased revenue for other government units. According to the fiscal analysis Griffith would gain $310,000 to their general fund and Griffith Public Schools Corporation $134,000. In order for Griffith to remove itself from Calumet Township and apply to join a new Howard’s Rehabs: Windows/ Doors, Floors/Carpet Heating/Cooling, Electrical, Plumbing, Drywall/Taping, Painting, Roofs/Concrete, Kitchen/Bath & more.

township, residents must petition for a referendum, and the referendum must pass by a two-thirds margin. If the referendum passes, the town will apply to join an adjacent township. “This bill creates the opportunity – with the necessary provisions and safeguards in place – for a municipality to relocate to another township,” said Rep. Slager. “As a former town council member, I know the difference HB 1585 will create in providing Griffith with the tools to continue to create a prosperous and thriving community.” Without this legislation, Griffith’s township taxes will continue to go to other areas in Calumet Township outside the town limits. HB1585 would allow the town of Griffith to join a different township with a lower tax rate and one that would return more funds to the town of Griffith. HB1585 will only allow a town to opt out of a township if the township assistance tax rate meets the minimum tax threshold of 15 times the statewide average. HB1585 is coauthored by Rep. Jerry Torr (R-Carmel) and Rep. Mara Candelaria Reardon (D-Hammond).

Especially during the school year, the first lady gets up at 4:30 a.m. or 5 a.m. to work out before her kids wake up. “Barack and I work out every day,” the first lady told a news site in an interview. “I usually get to the gym before he does. But he is usually there either in the middle of my workout or right at the end. And we’re watching `SportsCenter’ and we’re catching up. That’s why I know so much about sports … and you start having an opinion about local sports teams and the national sports scene.” The foundation of the first lady’s workout plan is a weight- training routine made up of compound movements that work multiple muscle groups. In one workout, Mrs. Obama might do one set of 15 to 20 reps each of lunges, bench presses, hip raises, and rows, all without resting—and with short bouts of

intense cardio mixed in. For an even greater total-body challenge, the workouts also feature rope-jumping, kickboxing, and bodyweight calisthenics, all done at a fast pace that raises fitness levels and burns tons of calories. If she’s on the road, Mrs. Obama often brings a jump rope, she adds. “If I don’t have a rope or space, I might do a 30-minute routine that includes a minute of jumping jacks alternating with a minute of push-ups, then some sit-ups. You take a 30-second break and do it again.” If you are thinking about getting in shape, stop in to see the good people at Melanie Fitness Center at 14900 Greenwood Rd, Dolton. Phone 708-849-2400. You can also visit their website at www.melaniefitnesscenter. com. They will help you get started on the road to feeling good and looking great!

The Last Stand (2013) R - 107 min - Action | Crime | Thriller - 18 January 2013 (USA) SYNOPSIS: The leader of a drug cartel busts out of a courthouse and speeds to the Mexican border, where the only thing in his path is a sheriff and his inexperienced staff. REVIEW: Nowadays, audiences can’t settle for one guy taking on a dozen terrorists, they flock to see superheroes avert nuclear annihilation. The comic book genre has taken the place of action movies as the purest source of refined, uncut, popcornentertainmen. In this film, Schwarzenegger plays Ray Owens, a once legendary L.A. cop relaxing through his golden years as the sheriff of a sleepy little border town. Trouble starts brewing though when cartel heavy Gabriel Cortez (Eduardo Noreiga) makes a run for Mexico in a supped-up Corvette ZR1, having engineered his escape from FBI custody through planning and resource management that would make The Joker smile (more than usual). The incompetent feds (led by Forest Whitaker) botch every attempt to apprehend Cortez -the car

chases add up to what’s probably the closest thing to a Spyhunter movie as we’ll ever get-, so it’s up to Schwarzenegger to reawaken his innerTerminator, and lead his ragtag handful of deputies against Cortez, and his band of mercenaries. Sure, there’s a Western flavor brought out by the small-town setting, and Luis Guzman’s pristine cowboy hat, but The Last Stand plays exactly like the spec-script of an Schwarzenegger comeback movie everyone thought of at one point or another during his ten year absence from the spotlight. The trademarks of his catalogue are all here: fast cars, beautiful ladies, lasciviously shot gun collections (with the violence that follows), and most importantly, grade-A Austrian beef. And sure enough, the film treats Arnold with a reverence somewhere between Jordan retaking the basketball court, and the Second Coming. It’s as much a tribute to the man himself, as it is to the idea of a heavily accented slab of muscle and bone once representing the pinnacle of Hollywood star power. This is Arnold starring in movie that owes as much to his own action movie resume, as it does the films that took their place, your The Dark Knight‘s, your Bournes, and your Fasts, both Five, and Furious. On a scale of 1-10, I give this one a 8.5 My 2¢ -B You can read more of my reviews online at: www. themotionpicturereviewer. blogspot.com

Become An Entrepreneur

www.myshopper.biz/columnists/

What’s Your Big Idea? KEVIN BRADLEY Author Meggie Tolkland, who recently had her third novel published by Asteria Books…”The Mayhem: Roan’s Story”, the first in her Urban Fantasy Romance series, has advice for those who want to become Writers. 1. Identify your goals. What do you hope to accomplish with your writing? 2. Study…Hone your P.R. skills and polish your craft. 3. Read (anything) 4. Find a critique partner or group. www. indianawritersconsortium/groups for info. 5. Find a mentor who understands your genre or project. 6. Develop positive habits. 7. Write every day. Meggie writes two hours every day, 365 days a year, if she goes over…she “banks” the minutes, and can subtract them if another day is too busy, however she says, “The escape (of writing) keeps me sane. If I don’t write, stress starts to build. “ 8. Maintain a running list of your writing goals. 9. Develop a portfolio (even if you write for free) 10. Realize that you are already a writer. Write E-mails, Facebook posts, Tweets, or texts as if they are going to be published. 11. P r e p a r e y o u r s e l f emotionally. (Most writers, even the most famous ones experience many rejections.) 12. Start now. Becoming a published novelist F o r s a l e : B r a n d n e w, unopened in box, Weber Summit S470 SS LP Grill in Dyer, IN. Grill retails for $2,150. Selling for $1,880.

takes much time. It may take a year to write your first novel, and it may be repeatedly rejected by agents and publishers. (It may never sell) 13. Be the bright side. Maintain a positive attitude through it all. Mistakes are learning experiences, everyone makes them. Meggie will be signing copies of The Mayhem: Roan’s Story on Saturday, March 9th at The Cat’s Tale 1114C West U.S. 30, Schererville Indiana from 11:00 until at least 1:00 (Longer if people keep coming in). Plan to visit Meggie at The Cats Tale, and support a local author. The story is largely based in Crown Point, Valparaiso, and St. John, giving local readers a sense of familiarity within this fictional world. Urban Fantasy Romance is similar to Paranormal Romance, but with no guarantee of a happily ever after and the supernatural is based within a modern contemporary setting. If becoming a writer is your dream, following Meggie’s advice is a great way to get started. It may be a long and difficult road, but you don’t have to quit your day job, in fact most writers have other sources of income as well… But everyone has dreams and following yours will bring you satisfaction and happiness. Good Luck, K.B. Questions or comments may be sent to kevinbradley@columnist. com.

The Ymca Offers Winter Sports Program For Children

JANICE MINTON-KUTZ

L ANSING LIONS CLUB DONATION HELPS ‘MEALS ON WHEELS:” The Lansing Lion’s Club donated $3,000 to the “Meals on Wheels” in Lansing toward their purchase of a second commercial stove to be able to feed more people in need, faster. Pictured here are, left to right:Lion Mike Winters-- Meals on Wheels Staff: Anna Mae Brandsma; Betty Crisp; Elaine Siersema; Joan Voll; James Cassoday and Cathy Stone. *** FRIENDS OF FRANK ZUCCARELLI RALLY--VENUE CHANGED TO A NEW LOCATION: Due to the recent unfortunate flooding of American Legion Post 330 in Calumet City, the Friends of Frank Zuccarelli Election Rally, set for Sunday February 24th, 2013 (3 to 6 p.m.) has been changed to the Lansing Knights of Columbus Hall, 17800 Lorenz Avenue (Burnham Avenue to 178th Street, west to hall) Lansing, Il. Call 708-8284018 for information or questions. Tickets are $25 each and include buffet style dinner, beer, wine and pop. For more information on the rally call Friends of Frank Voice Mail, 708-596-4027. *** WHAT HAPPENED AT POST 330? The popular American Legion Post 330 located at 950 Legion Drive Calumet City suffered flooding from a burst pipe on Super Bowl Sunday and again last weekend, water flooded the banquet area. The management is dumbfounded as to what happened. The post is almost new (16 years) and was built from scratch when the former structure burned down in 1997. All the materials in it are fireproof, but that did not help with the water damage. The sad part of this is many special events have had to be relocated. Keep the Faith guys-- it will get better. *** ST. FLORIAN SCHOOL AND PA R I S H TO H O S T L E N T E N SUPPER: Sa t u rd a y Fe b r u a r y 23rd, 2013 from 5 to 7 p.m. in the gymnasium located at 131st and Houston Avenue in Chicago( Hegewisch). Dinner includes 3 potatoe pancakes, apple sauce, sour cream, choice of soup and one drink. Adults, $8, children age 6-12, $4 and age 5 and under, free. For more information contact 773646-2868 or 773-646-4877. *** ST. THOMAS MORE LENTEN FISH FRY AND RAFFLE: Sponsored by the Holy Name Society, set for Friday March 1st, 2013 at the St.

Thomas More Social Center, (south of Ridge on Calumet in Munster) from 4:30 to 8:30 p.m. Featured fish will be North Atlantic cod, shrimp, fries, cole slaw, beets, bread, butter and beverages. Tab is $8 for adults and $4 for children under 13. Beer and wine available. Tickets available at the door as are carry outs. Proceeds from the fish fry benefit the parish Cub and Boy Scout Troops, the St. Vincent dePaul Society, St. Joseph Soup Kitchen, Pastoral Care Ministry and the Share Foundation. *** L ANSING LIONS CLUB CELEBRATES 75TH A N N I V E R S A RY D I N N E R AT L A N S I N G C O U N T RY C LU B : Members and guests gathered at the beautiful Lansing Country Club, Tuesday January 22nd, 2013 to observe the silver anniversary of the respected service organization. Lions Club International Director, Lion Brian E. Sheean was guest speaker and Past District 1-A Governor Lion Ken Straka, served as emcee. Calumet City Lion Inductee Chuck Eggelbrecht and Lansing Lion Inductee, Steve Zitek, were installed as new members. Pictured here are: Calumet City Inductee Chuck Eggelbrecht, his sponsor, Past District Governor, Calumet City Lion Lou Torres; Lions Club International Director, Lion Brian E. Sheehan; Lansing Lion Inductee, Steve Zitek; and his sponsor, Past Lansing Lion President Ed Follmar.

The Crossroads YMCA Hammond Branch will continue its indoor soccer programs, the youth coed program and the toddler coed program, until March 2. Dave Mays, the branch’s senior program director, said the indoor soccer programs are the organization’s most popular programs for children. Mays said the toddler coed program teaches the fundamentals of the sport at an earlier age than do other local programs. Children may start as young as age 2. The programs’ inclusion of both boys and girls is another distinctive feature, Mays said. The youth coed program’s games are on Saturdays afternoons for children in three

respective groups: kindergarten and first grade, second and third grade and fourth and fifth grade. The program has practice on Thursday evenings. The toddler coed program has practice and games on Saturday mornings. The program has two groups, children ages 2 to 3 and children ages 4 to 5. All children in kindergarten must join the youth coed program. Michelle Medrano’s 8-year-old son has been in the indoor soccer program for two years. She said she likes that the sport does not cause parents to become competitive with each other or scream at the children.

Here comes spring, time to sell that home!

arthur v. veal iv The temperatures are steadily increasing and the snow is slowly melting. It means that it is that time of year again. The best time to try to sell your home. Why? Because now is the time when the average family decides they want to move and that they should start looking. Most people start to look at the beginning of spring because they know that if they find something, they will probably close and be ready to move in the summer when the kids are out of school. Therefore, as a seller you may want to start prepping your home for sale right now. Here are a few tips to get started. Freshen up that curb appeal: The first thing p e o p l e wil l see wh en looking at a home is the outside and your yard. So make sure they see a good first look. Get the yard cleaned up. Get all the dead leaves up and clean the gutters. If necessary, paint your home when weather permits. Finally, make sure your front door is in good shape and of good quality. Many people do not know this but a front door sets the mood for the rest of the house. Paint everything: If you are selling your house that you live in then the house

is used. When a used car is about to be sold, the first thing that the dealership does is to clean the car inside and outside so it shows well. Painting is your form of cleaning the car. When you paint a house, you are making the walls clean and it shows so much better. Price it right: The prices from 2007 are long gone. Do not make the mistake of thinking that your house did not lose any value from 2007. Your house has lost value, even if it was perceived value. The mindset of today’s buyer is to find a deal. So you need to price at a reasonable number. If you can’t be flexible on the price, then the next best thing is to look at the amenities being offered for similar priced homes in your area, then add additional amenities to persuade buyers your way. Follow these simple steps and you will put yourself in a much better position for a quick sale in a slow market. 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.

Wartime Remembrances

MARJORIE alice DEVRIES My kids had a day off school a while back, and so my husband and I took them on a day trip to downtown Chicago. We took the train in an effort to be money savvy. What we didn’t figure on, were whining kids forced to walk in the rain. Note to self: When going downtown on a rainy day, do not depend on a cab. They are all taken. Sgt. Buetow reminded his wife, Lu, about their cabless trip to Chicago in the early forties. He served with the 703rd Tank Battalion and also the 54th Armored Field Artillery Battalion during WWII. Monday, January 29, 1945 Lu darling, No mail from you today, but yesterday I got two one-page V-mails— one from the thirty-first and one from the eighth of this month. Last night I didn’t write to you ‘cause I went to the movies and it was sort of late when I got back. The picture was “Secret Command” with Pat O’Brien and Carole Landis, and it was pretty good. Remember the picture of Carole Landis and me that I sent you while I was in the desert? My cold and laryngitis are both clearing up pretty well now, although I still

sound like a foghorn when I talk. I owe practically everybody a letter but I just don’t seem to be able to get around to writing them. I should write to Lynne, Shirl, Helen, June and La Verne. Maybe I’ll find time in the next few days. These cold winter nights always remind me both of Roanoke and the time I came to Chicago on a three-day pass. Remember how we had to wait so long for a street-car because we couldn’t get a cab? Oh darling, I’m so lonesome for you that it usually hurts! My trip to Paris only made me more lonesome for you and more eager to have you in my arms again and to go to sleep with your head on my shoulder. We will continue this letter next week. 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.

Treasured Letters From The Past

Homes For Sale

Renee N. Hale, DSL Choose the “best” response you can when you’re under pressure. Intentionally respond with the “best” in character. It pays off! General Robert E. Lee said, “You have only always to do what is right. It will become easier by practice, and you enjoy in the midst of your trials the pleasure of an approving conscience.” How do you know what’s best? There are three types of responses that always fall in the “best” category. So you can count on these as “best” responses at all times. First—integrity. 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 anyway! Doing what you know is right, even when it isn’t easy, is always a good investment of your effort. Next—excellence. Demonstrating high skill in one’s profession is uplifting, confirms your credibility, and keeps you reaching for your potential. Staying on the cutting edge and offering the highest quality products and services forges a reputation that travels almost the speed of light. This good reputation draws clients

and keeps your business viable. Finally—genuine care for others. There are many positive, othersfocused character qualities and actions that you or someone you know may practice on a regular basis. These 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 positive momentum that “choosing the best” can bring to your own business or organization, as well as to others. Identify areas for demonstrating the “best” in integrity, excellence and care for others, and then focus on them. As George Bernard Shaw said, “The possibilities are numerous once we decide to act and not react.” Take action for the best. Dr. Renée N. Hale is co-founder and president of WellSpirit Consulting Group, Inc.— engaging businesses and organizations to make business worth living. Visit www.wellspiritconsulting. com today. © 2013 Renée N.

Clark And Kensington Paint Wins Consumer Top Honors Clark and Kensington Paint, a newcomer outperforms Benjamin Moore, Behr and Other Big Name Brands. In Consumer Reports’ latest tests of interior paints, newcomer Clark+Kensington earned the highest scores of 65 products evaluated for overall finish, ability to hide, and more. The full report on interior paints, which includes information on the best painter’s tape and the best interior colors to help sell houses, is available in the March 2013 issue of the magazine and online at www. ConsumerReports.org. “When choosing paint, don’t assume a leading brand you swore by last time will do just as well this time around,” said Bob Markovich, home and yard editor for Consumer Reports. “Our tests found paints 1997 GMC Savana 7 passenger van with TV/VCR, new transmission, new fuel

can vary year to year — and a bigger name does not always equal a better product.” Consumer Reports found Clark+Kensington paint to be tops in satin and semigloss finishes, and among the best for flat paints. It was also impressive at hiding, leaving a smooth finish that resisted stains, and scrubbing. Its volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are low enough to meet the toughest, regional California standards. Clark+Kensington is available only at Ace stores. You can find more information and color samples of Clark and Kensington paint at any of the three local Gus Bock Ace Hardware locations in Lansing, Munster or Dyer, where their knowledgeable staff is always ready to assist in any questions you may have.

8 More Things A Burglar Won’t Tell You: riley rogers for flat screen TVs or gaming systems I’d like. I’ll drive or walk through your neighborhood at night, before you close the blinds, just to pick my targets. 6. Avoid announcing your vacation on your Facebook page. It’s easier than you think to look up your address. Parents: caution your kids about this. You see this every day. 7. To you, leaving that window open just a crack during the day is a way to let in a little fresh air. To me, it’s an invitation. 8. If you don’t answer when I knock, I try the door. Occasionally, I hit the jackpot and walk right in. I have spent my life in law enforcement and working to keep neighborhoods and family’s safe. Working together we can make a difference in our communities. Riley Rogers, Dolton Village Trustee rileyscorner@yahoo.com

Please read all the way to the end. You just might learn something that will save your home from being burglarized. 1. Sometimes, I carry a clipboard. Sometimes, I dress like a lawn guy and carry a rake. I do my best to never, ever look like a crook. 2. The two things I hate most: loud dogs and nosy neighbors. 3. I’ll break a window to get in, even if it makes a little noise. If your neighbor hears one loud sound, he’ll stop what he’s doing and wait to hear it again. If he doesn’t hear it again, he’ll just go back to what he was doing. It’s human nature. 4. I’m not complaining, but why would you pay all that money for a fancy alarm system and leave your house without setting it? 5. I love looking in your windows. I’m looking for signs that you’re home, and
