Question: With all the holiday parties and celebrating, what advice do you have for DUI prevention?Answer: Very simple. The easiest way to avoid a charge of “Driving Under the Influence” or a DUI is to not drive if you’ve been drinking. Combine drinking at holiday celebrations with winter road conditions, and you have a recipe that could be deadly. Statistics show it doesn’t take much wine, hard liquor or beer to create an alcohol-impaired driver. In Illinois, it is illegal to drive with a blood-alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08 percent or higher. A driver can also be convicted of a DUI with a BAC rate of .05 if additional evidence, like an open bottle of liquor, is present. Drivers under age 21 are prohibited from driving with ANY trace of alcohol or drugs in their systems. If you plan on drinking, decide in advance which of your friends will be the “designated driver.” If everyone has been drinking, take taxis home. Question: I’m being sued. Do I need to hire a lawyer?Answer: A person typically learns he or she has been sued upon receiving a copy of a summons or legal notice detailing the claim. Most people who receive a summons consult with a lawyer about a proper defense. The worst thing you can do is ignore the summons. If you do not respond, the court automatically will rule in favor of the plaintiff. In a divorce case, for example, a spouse would probably be awarded everything he or she asked for. A creditor may automatically be awarded the money he or she claims is owed or have a lien put on your property. If a default judgment is entered against you, an attorney could help you appeal it; however, you stand a lesser chance of winning than if you had tried to defend the lawsuit at the start.

Question: How do I resolve a dispute with my ex-spouse over custody issues involving our children?Answer: If the parties are unable to agree on custody issues, even with the help of lawyers, other options will need to be considered. The Illinois Supreme Court and local courts suggest using mediation to resolve custody matters. In a private mediation, both parties typically sign an agreement to mediate using the services of a trained mediator, often a third party lawyer. Each party’s own lawyer may be present. In some counties, a full mediation service is available free of charge. For more information about Illinois law, visit www.illinoislawyerfinder.com.

outh Suburban College will be hosting an Open House for its Paralegal Program on Wednesday, January 9, 2013, from 6:00 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. in Room 5190 at the University & College Center in Oak Forest. The Open House is targeted for individuals interested in learning about one of the nation’s fastest-growing occupations. Information will be provided about SSC’s paralegal/legal assistant curriculum, including the AAS Degree and certificate programs. SSC has the only ABA approved paralegal program in the south suburban Chicago area, giving graduates a huge advantage when entering the workplace. The college also requires that all of the instructors in the program are lawyers or judges to ensure the quality of instruction. The curriculum prepares students to work in a variety of legal environments including civil and criminal litigation, insurance, banking, public and governmental agencies, law offices and corporate legal departments. Emphasis is placed on the development of core skills in: legal research and writing techniques, including compilation and analysis of data; understanding legal vocabulary, law office technology; and preparation of legal documents. While the majority of the Paralegal classes are offered at the University & College Center, conveniently located at 16333 South Kilbourn Avenue in Oak Forest, some classes are offered online and some are offered at the Main Campus in South Holland. For more information, please contact Jason M. Cieslik, J.D., Coordinator for the Legal Studies Program, at (708) 596-2000, ext. 2579 or email JCieslik@ssc.edu.

1. Keep the alcohol and desserts to twice-a-week. We all want to go a little crazy on the sweets and drinks during the holidays, and if you eat “clean” the other five days of the week you can afford a little indiscretion in your diet. A lot of my clients even commit to a “dry” January to help them get back on track — no alcohol until February 1st. 2. Take a yoga or Pilates-style class to help de-stress. Increased levels of cortisol (the stress hormone) have been shown to add inches to your mid-line, and a few peaceful mantras might be just what the doctor ordered when you’re going to be dealing with your in-laws. 3. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. It’s been said so many times, but it’s so true. Often people think they’re hungry when they’re actually dehydrated. Plain water is the best, but coconut water is a close second because it helps to naturally replace electrolytes lost, it’s low in calories and can help your skin glow. 4. Motivation follows action. It’s my favorite saying when it comes to making workouts a regular part of your life. When you’re sitting on the couch feeling completely unmotivated, force yourself to get up, get into your workout clothes and out the door. Once you start moving the motivation will almost definitely kick in! 5. Skip the cabs. I love taking taxis but let’s be honest — they get expensive. Walking will improve your wallet and physique! 6. Check out a new class. When work schedules are lighter during the holidays, it’s a great time to check out a class or

teacher that normally doesn’t fit into your schedule. If you need some encouragement or help with getting into shape, stop in to see us at Melanie Fitness Center at 14900 Greenwood Rd, Dolton. We will help you get started on the road to feeling good and looking great! Don’t put it off another day - call us today at

708-849-2400 and sign up! Visit www.melaniefitnesscenter.com to see our new website. We have a special of $20 enrollment and $20 per month at Melanie Fitness until January 31, 2013. An added bonus is a full year for only $250 if paid in full. That’s a whole year of fitness for less than $5 per week!

Many New Year’s resolutions focus on breaking bad habits. The American Red Cross is encouraging you to take up a positive habit instead. By resolving to donate blood or platelets in the coming year, you can help save the lives of the one out of 10 hospital patients who require blood for emergency or ongoing medical care. Every two seconds, someone needs a blood transfusion in the United States. Your frequent donations through the American Red Cross can help keep the nation’s blood supply strong and ensure that it will be available anytime and anywhere it’s needed. “A resolution to donate blood in the New Year is a resolution that lasts a lifetime,” said Tracy Duncan Fox, Communications Manager for the Indiana-Ohio Blood Services Region of the American Red Cross. “Your donation may help save the lives of three people. It could be a 3-year old with cancer, a high school student with leukemia, or a young mother who has unexpected complications after giving birth.” When you donate through the Red Cross, you’ll join about 4 million blood donors nationwide in a lifesaving cause. The need for blood is constant. Every day, patients across the U.S. need an average of 44,000 units of red blood cells. That’s about 16-million donations transfused to 5 million patients each year. “Your donation is needed and may give someone another day, another week, another month to spend with loved ones and friends,” said Duncan Fox. “That’s a New Year’s resolution worth keeping.” UPCOMING AMERICAN RED CROSS BLOOD DRIVES:· Wednesday, Jan. 2, from 1:30 p.m. until 6:30 p.m. at Highland Parks & Recreation Center in the Classrooms, located at 2450 Lincoln St. in Highland.

NeuromasNeuromas are a scarring of a sheath surrounding the nerve. They usually occur between the 3rd and 4th toes but can be found elsewhere as well. Symptoms include feeling a click in the ball of the foot, or electrical shocks shooting to the ends of the affected toes. Surgery is nearly always needed to alleviate the symptoms although injections, padding or physical therapy can help. If you have any questions concerning neuromas or any other foot problems, please stop by or call my office during office hours.

Not down, but aside. That’s where Mr. Moes found his steps leading last Friday as Miss Samantha Frederick took over as Principal for the Day. Samantha’s day started just 5 minutes after her arrival, when she was summoned to the office to assume her duties. The first order of business was to lead a singing devotional time with the 4th grade class; although she did choose two of the songs, she let Mr. Moes play the guitar. Samantha then took a tour of the school with Mr. Moes, visiting each class and introducing herself as Miss Frederick, but only after the extremely important task of refilling the toilet paper in the girls’ bathroom! (Even Mr. Moes himself couldn’t have done that.) Samantha joined her 5th grade class for morning recess, but they couldn’t follow her into the teachers’ lounge to enjoy a snack of

donuts and apple juice (no coffee yet for this principal). Nor would they be able to join her for lunch, which also would take place in the teachers’ lounge. But, they could certainly ask for some special treatment from their classmate-with-connections, which came as a request for extra recess time. Samantha replied, “I’ll try to do it for next recess.” While Mr. Moes took and hopefully aced Samantha’s Grammer test, she had a full agenda to complete. During the afternoon, she taught music classes for the Kindergarten and 1stgrade students, took a recess duty shift, made intercom announcements, and sorted letters to the parents. She also planned to stand outside at 3:00, waving good-bye to all the students and parents for the day. But when this interview ended, Samantha’s first priority was to call her mom from her new office.

Student Principal On Duty

One of my favorite passages of scripture that reminds me of Christmas is found in First Timothy 4:14. Here, Paul tells young Timothy, “Do not neglect the ‘gift’ that is in you.” The ‘gift’ Paul spoke of was the indwelling Holy Spirit that enabled Timothy to carry out the purposes of God in his life. Every year we celebrate the Christmas season in giving gifts to family and friends that we love and value. We spend considerable time in selecting gifts that we hope will bring pleasure and joy to the receiver. As a child I remember the gifts my grandmother received every year from my uncle. One year he bought her an electric carving knife. The next year an electric skillet, and the following years other kitchen appliances he thought would make life easier for her. But she was always saving them for special occasions. Grandma was like that about all of her gifts (clothes, jewelry, etc.) she deemed special. She died at age 89 having never used any of the things she was saving for a special occasion. Over 2000 years ago God gave the gift

of eternal life to all who would put their trust in His son Jesus. The gift includes adoption into God’s family, an abundant life here on earth and everlasting life (life without end) with God. Yet many neglect to receive and utilize God’s gift. They say things like, “I need to get right first,” or, “I don’t need Christ, I’m fine like I am,” or, “I’m too young, I’ll wait till I get older,” never realizing that they may not live to see the ‘occasion’ they speak of. Like Timothy, Christians neglect the gift of the Holy Spirit when they fail to rely on Him to accomplish God’s purpose for their life. It is the Holy Spirit that enables us to live out the gospel message; to love people who are unlovable; to forgive as God has forgiven us; to live a life of freedom in Christ instead of being tangled up and imprisoned by life’s many struggles. If the New Year is to be better than the last year, we must begin it by receiving and utilizing God’s gift to us. For questions and/or comments, send an email to acaison@sbcglobal.net . Or you can write me at: Anna Caison, c/o New Community Church, 14801 Lincoln Ave., Dolton, IL 60419.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012)169 min - Adventure | Fantasy - 14 December 2012 (USA)

SYNOPSIS: A younger and more reluctant Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins, sets out on a “unexpected journey” to the Lonely Mountain with a spirited group of Dwarves to reclaim a their stolen mountain home from a dragon named Smaug.

REVIEW: While the Lord of the Rings trilogy stands as one of the greatest films ever made for countless reasons, the f lawless formation of cinema’s single most immersive fantasy landscape is arguably Jackson’s greatest accomplishment. The Lord of the Rings was special because of its miraculous power to transport and envelop, and that is why it spoke to such a large and diverse audience in its day. The dwarves and their quest are obviously important to Tolkien’s book, but they primarily serve as backdrop to Bilbo’s own character progression. He is not just the central figure, but the point-of-view reader proxy as well, and the joy of The Hobbit is that we experience the wonders of Middle Earth through his inexperienced eyes as he grows from a respectable but lazy hobbit into a brave and adventurous hero. Bilbo and the unique prospective he provides is the primary reason for the book’s creative success, and for a good deal of its runtime, An Unexpected Journey misses the mark on this crucial point. The film is so preoccupied with

exploring the history of the dwarves, the threat of the necromancer, and the motivations of supporting characters like Thorin and Gandalf that Bilbo isn’t just secondary, but a non-entity for long stretches of time. The original story may have many avenues for expansion, but every single one of them takes us away from Bilbo, and leaves the finished film without a clear sense of identity or focus. All that being said, An Unexpected Journey improves by leaps and bounds during the final hour, after the company departs Rivendell, for that is when Bilbo is finally al lowed to take center stage and the film congeals rather wonderfully around him. The ‘Riddles in the Dark’ sequence is a stirring highlight not only because Andy Serkis returns as Gollum – better than ever, I might say – but because it focuses entirely on Bilbo’s character and progression, and single-handedly gives the film a much tighter, more compelling sense of identity. From there, the film climaxes and concludes in spectacular fashion, with clear arcs for Bilbo and Thorin that resolve on a highly satisfying note. And though I feel the unbalanced focus on Erebor, the Necromancer, and other supplemental plot-threads hurts this particular film, I am intrigued by the groundwork laid for films two and three. Jackson and company have many fascinating avenues to follow, and with Bilbo now firmly in place as the center of this story, I hope these paths can be explored without splintering the narrative any further. And that, of course, is what this whole discussion comes back to: Does An Unexpected Journey do a satisfactory job bringing audiences back to Middle Earth? The answer is ‘yes’ – and the film is absolutely worth seeing for this quality alone.

On a scale of 1-10,I give this one a 9My 2¢ -B

Does An Unexpected Journey do a satisfactory job bringing

audiences back toMiddle Earth?...

The Art & Design Department of South Suburban College is pleased to present a solo exhibition entitled S.A.B.S.–Sharks Are Born Swimming, by Chicago-based artist Cydney Lewis. The exhibition will be on display in the Dorothea Thiel Gallery through a closing reception at 12:30 p.m. on January 29, 2013. Lewis studied ballet for 15 years before pursuing a BS in Architecture at the University of Illinois Champaign, Urbana. While working towards her degree, Lewis spent a year in France where she studied at the L’Ecole de Architecture in Versailles. She subsequently returned to the performing arts to begin a career in film design. Lewis worked as an art director and

production designer for several feature films, helping to express mood and emotions through color, design and

storytelling. Lewis currently lives in Chicago, and she incorporates all of these previous experiences into her artistic practice through the manipulation and transformation of materials. The public is welcome to visit art exhibitions and receptions at no charge. The Dorothea Thiel Gallery is located on the fourth floor and is open Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. The galleries are closed on weekends and holidays. The galleries are supported in part by the SSC Foundation. SSC is located at 15800 South State Street, South Holland, Illinois. Contact Eric Tucker for information at etucker@ssc.edu or (708) 596-2000 ext. 2300.

The mall management office, which is currently located on the lower level, will temporarily move to the main floor near Westwood College. Construction has been underway across from the mall and shoppers have noticed changes along the mall’s perimeter. The mall remains open and functions as usual despite the construction, which is scheduled for completion by the end of the year. “Our loyal shoppers will see inside and outside changes, and we are excited for our growing mall and surrounding areas,” said Simon.

This article is the 4th article of a series of articles designed to show you how to repair, improve, and monitor your credit without the help of any expensive service. As I said last article “ Work on your credit now, before you need it, because by then it will be too late.” So having said that, on to the next step. Part 4: Repairing items that are less than 7 years old… If you have your credit report (which you should if you followed part 1) then you should look thru the negative items on your report that are less than 5 years old. Once you identify the items the next thing you want to do is to challenge the item with the credit bureau to try and have the item removed. You can do this by mail or by internet. I suggest internet as it will be easier to keep track of all your paperwork. On the website that you got your credit report from you should be able to challenge individual items. When you challenge an item, you must give a reason why you believe this item to be incorrect. I have seen people in the past challenge items that were wrong, but you can also challenge the creditor to prove that the debt is yours. In todays age of robo-signing many creditors lose the original paperwork that you signed to create a debt. The burden of proof

is on the creditor to prove you actually owe them. So challenge all your negative debts and force the creditor to prove that they exsist. When you challenge an item you must pay attention to the date that you challenged the item. By law, the creditor has 30 days to respond to your challenge. If they do not respond then the negative item can be REMOVED. Now, here’s the trick. The creditor has 30 days but if you don’t call and verify if they responded to your challenge on the 31st day then the item will NOT be removed. You MUST call on the 31st day and ask the credit bureau did the creditor respond. If they say no then by law the credit bureau must remove the item. Don’t take no for an answer. Sometimes the credit bureau will act like they don’t know what you are talking about but go online and look up credit law and you can see exactly what I am talking about. So use this technique, more than once on the same negative item if you want and amazingly things will begin to fall off your credit. Next week we will discuss maintaing credit. Till next week, Good luck and God Bless and remember… If you want to sell your house on terms check out our informative w e b s i t e a t w w w .sellonterms.com for more information.

Although winter does not officially begin until December 21, Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez is urging county residents to think ahead and prepare now for the inevitable severe cold and snow. “Living in the Chicago area, we should not be caught off-guard when it comes to dealing with the winter elements,” Alvarez stated. “Some pre-planning before the severe cold and snow hits will help residents to cope with the elements more comfortably.” The following precautions can help maintain comfort in your home during severe winter weather:• Install a programmable thermostat. Set the temperature at 68 degrees while you and your family are home and awake, a few degrees lower while away or at night while sleeping. • Close vents and shut doors of any unused rooms.• Protect against frozen pipes by insulating pipes near outer walls, in crawl spaces or attics. Wrap pipes in UL approved heat tape and seal any leaks that allow cold air inside where pipes are located. Disconnect garden hoses and shut off water and drain pipes leading to outside faucets. If pipes do freeze, shut the water off at the main source and call a plumber. NEVER try to thaw pipes with an open flame or torch.• Have a battery powered radio, flashlights and extra batteries on hand in case of a power outage. Avoid using candles for light -- they can become a fire hazard.

• Minimize drafts by caulking around or placing weather-stripping inside door openings and windows. • If using an alternative heating source, such as a fireplace or space heater, be sure to have proper ventilation and keep flammable materials a minimum of three feet away. NEVER use an oven as an alternative heat source.• Be sure to have plenty of non-perishable food and bottled water on hand in the event of a storm that forces you to stay in your home for several days.

If you must go outside:• Always dress in layers. Wear loose-fitting, lightweight warm clothing -- air trapped between layers helps to insulate. The inner most layer should be made of a synthetic ‘wicking’ material such as fleece which will keep perspiration away from the body; the outer layer should be a tightly woven, water repellent coat or jacket with a hood. Layers can be removed to avoid perspiration and subsequent chill.• Always wear a hat and mittens. You lose at least half your body heat through your head and mittens offer more protection than gloves by utilizing body heat to keep fingers warm. • Use a scarf over your mouth and nose to protect your lungs from the cold air• Wear wool socks for warmth and keep feet dry as possible.• When working outside, do not overexert yourself. Take

frequent breaks indoors to rest and warm up. Be sure to drink plenty of water and stay hydrated.

Make sure to winterize your vehicle:• Have a winter storm survival kit in your vehicle. It should include a blanket, flashlight and batteries, first aid kit, high calorie, non-perishable food, extra clothing, small shovel, sand or kitty litter, windshield scraper/brush, tool kit, tow rope, and booster cables.• Always check your vehicle’s wiper blades, tire pressure, and fluid levels (windshield washer, radiator, gas tank, oil, power steering and brakes).• Lubricate door and trunk locks to prevent freezing.• If taking long trips, try to travel during daylight hours and give your itinerary to a friend or relative, including routes you plan to travel and estimated arrival times. Be sure to check in.• Always buckle your seat belts.

Remember to check on elderly neighbors and relatives as they can be more susceptible to cold related illness and injury. Make sure their homes are adequately heated and that they have plenty of food on hand. Taking some preventive measures before the severe cold and snow hits can make the winter months more tolerable.

Meet the new agent…same as the old agent…of course this is a play on “meet the new boss, same as the old boss.” What I am addressing here is that many people think changing real estate agents will help a listing that is not selling. They think one agent is as good as another, so if one doesn’t “perform” then we just move onto the next. Commoditization of the work force seems to be the order of the day – so it is somewhat natural that buyers and sellers would treat real estate agents the same way. S o m e t i m e s c h a n g e can be a good thing. If your agent isn’t doing a good job marketing your home, bringing in a new agent may be the answer. But in other cases, and perhaps more often than not it will make little to no difference in the final outcome. One dirty little secret of real estate is that an agent has a very limited ability to influence the final sale price. Agents can help you get the most that the market will allow…but beyond that they are at the mercy of market forces. The notion that a real estate agent can beat the bushes and pull out the ONE buyer willing to pay a premium for your home because of its special features is stuff of urban legend. Look at it this way: If Ford automobiles have gone down in price by 10%, can a Ford dealer

realistically be expected to move them for their original price? The answer is plainly no. And although there are no two houses identical, the ability of the agent to defy market forces is simply not there. You actually have to sell your house 3 times. Once the buyer says “yes” the home still has to pass muster with the inspector as well as the bank appraiser. So even if you find a buyer willing to pay $120,000 on a $100,000 value, there are several more “decision makers” in the mix that can kill the deal…and these decision makers are not buying with their hearts-for them it’s all about the bottom line. So unless you find a cash buyer the home will have to pass muster with the bank. The banks will not fund a loan if the home is overpriced. Holding out for that higher price, will get you less in the end. Re-listing with another agent under these conditions will accomplish nothing.

Referred to as the Miracle of 162nd Street, last week Thornton Township distributed more than 2,000 toys and gifts to children from families struggling to make ends meet. The annual Christmas Tree Toy & Gift Drive is especially important because the families served have experienced fires, foreclosures, loss of income and have lost loved ones to violence. Township Supervisor Frank Zuccarelli is committed to making sure that every child in the township has a gift under the tree and food on the table for Christmas. Township Special Projects Coordinator said Jill Manning said local businesses, schools and churches held toy drives and donated monetary gifts. Community members also supported the program. “We had 12 volunteers working daily for three weeks wrapping the gifts. It was quite the workshop,” she said. The bright smiles on the children’s’ faces as they received their gifts and visited with Santa lit up the room and brought joy to all who put the program together. “Once again Thornton Township was able to make a difference. When we work together we can make the holiday season brighter for those in need,” Supervisor Zuccarelli said. “I wish everyone a very happy holiday season and a better new year.” For Richard Frederick of South Holland and his children, Richard, age 8, Rykia, age 6, and Rykiesha, age 3, receiving the gifts from the township truly made the holiday season brighter. Frederick said the company he works for downsized and his hours were reduced. “I am only working four hours a day, four days a week so it has been very difficult. My wife is ill so it has been hard for her to care for the children so she depends on me,” he said. The family attends River Oaks Community Church and is also grateful for the assistance the church has provided. “The church and the township have really helped us out. “My children will have a Merry Christmas because of this event. We didn’t expect to receive this much from the township. We are truly grateful. I look at our current situation as just a bump in the road,” he said. The program has also been a blessing to the Diedo Family of Harvey. The day was even more special for Evelyn who celebrated her 10th birthday. “The gifts from the township really help us out and make the holiday special for our family and others who are struggling,” said Gabriela Diedo. Annie Skinner of Calumet City praised the township

for distributing the gifts. “I am on disability and have been struggling to pay the bills and care for my seven year-old daughter Pierra,” she said. “This program has really helped me to give her a Merry Christmas.” Kianna Hill of Dolton said that she too had her hours at work cut and could not afford to buy gifts for her four children. “We are very grateful for the gifts the township and the community have provided,” she said. Eddie Lareau of Thornton has been involved with the township since he started working in the ZAP program which provides lawn maintenance for seniors. After high school he became a team leader training students to work in the program. Lareau, who now attends Northern Illinois University where he is majoring in Management Information Systems, said he enjoys helping people of all ages and doing whatever he can to help the community. He has been helping with the Christmas toy and gift distribution for many years and assisting seniors in the community. “Those we help show so much gratitude,” he said. Chris Macias and his sister Priscilla have also volunteered for several years. They became involved through their mother who coordinates the Mexican Folklore dance group and teaches dance at the township. Chris, a student at Eastern Illinois University, has also been involved in the township’s summer recreation program. “It means so much to be able to give back to the community,” he said. Priscilla said volunteering for the township helped her to decide on pursuing a career in social work. I volunteer because I enjoy helping people and that is what I want to do with my life. The Seton High School graduate attends the University of St. Francis. The township extends a special thank you to all of the

township employees and volunteers who wrapped each gift with care and to everyone who donated toys to the annual event.

25 years ago, the Dolton Mayor, and the village board had a dream. They wanted to provide a quality senior living facility in the Village of Dolton. The Dorchester building was in foreclosure and seniors were at risk of being evicted. Mayor Peck and the village board saw a need to be filled and that Dolton seniors needed their help. The village board approved a bond for financing, and the Village of Dolton coordinated a rescue package to save the home of these elderly senior citizens. The Dorchester is now proud to celebrate 25 years of providing quality service with a caring attitude to area seniors. The Dorchester is home to a vibrant group of seniors who are living their golden years in comfort among

family and friends. A professional and dedicated team manages The Dorchester today, providing for the community of senior residents. Residents live independently in newly remodeled privacy apartments. There is also 24-hour assistance available for residents who need help with basic daily needs. The Dorchester has many events planned for their residents and the community. Feel free to call or stop in to find out more of the exciting things going on! The Dorchester Senior Center is located at 1515 East 154th Street in Dolton. For more details or to schedule a tour, phone (708) 841-5560. They can also be visited online at www.thedorchestercenter.com.

I t ’ s t h a t t i m e o f year again. That time when people become enthusiastic about the New Year and what it will bring. People enjoy making resolutions to accomplish something in the Yew Year, usually to better them-selves in some way. Popular resolutions include making more money, losing weight, and quitting smoking or drinking, although resolutions can be as unique and varied as the individuals making them. Unfortunately most p e o p l e d o n ’ t f o l l o w t h r o u g h w i t h t h e i r resolutions. I have some advice which may help. Only make a resolution if it is something you genuinely wish for yourself. Don’t choose something just to please others. Realize that resolutions mean nothing if you are not willing to do whatever it takes to make it happen; so if you can’t see yourself taking the steps necessary for this to become a reality, perhaps you don’t really want it all that bad. If you find something you really want to accomplish and are willing to follow through to make it happen, first research the steps you will need to take to achieve this goal. Writing them down can be helpful. Once you have the steps; visualize yourself performing them. Try and also visualize any

obstacles that may occur which can block you from achieving your desired goal. Make your plans now for how you will deal with these obstacles to be better prepared when they occur. Having and following a plan of attack will help you to achieve your goals. J u s t p r i o r t o l a s t New Year, I wrote in this column: “My goal is to complete my revisions and proceed with the next steps towards getting the book published.” That was my goal for 2012. I have accomplished that and will also continue with this goal in 2013. By persevering and never giving up on my quest, a difficult quest indeed, my goal will be attained one day. J u s t p r i o r t o Thanksgiving, I set another goal for myself. I wanted to lose about 30 pounds. I am happy to report that I am already half way there. I heard on the radio the other day, “If you want something, you’ll find a way to make it happen. If you don’t, you’ll find an excuse.” This explains human nature in a nutshell. Figure out what you really want, and find a way to make it happen…no excuses. Q u e s t i o n s o r comments may be sent to kevinbradley@columnist.com. Happy New Year, K.B.

Strategic Planning for a Prosperous Lifewww.myshopper.biz/columnists/

Life CoachingDEE COLLINS

D U N A M I S W O M A N & R A M EMPOWERMENT SEGMENT: Word for this week is “Happy.” Think about it? In just a few days, many people are going to be greetings their friends and love ones with heartfelt words such as, “Happy New Year!” Do we really understand what we are declaring to one another? Have this become a formality? Is it a tradition? Or, are these words we are speaking into each other lives cause matters to appear worse prior to getting better? Hmmm….. Let’s look at the word happy, which has become a well sought out lifestyle. Happy is characterized by or indicative of pleasure, joy or contentment. Too many people define a successful life by what they have acquired in order to be deemed as happy. However, being happy is a state of mind. It is an internal factor that produces peace from things that are non-tangible derivative of a heart of gratitude. For example, you should be happy by the mere fact that you are reading this column. Do you realize how many people are cognitively delayed and their minds can’t comprehend a sentence? Some things we take for granted, because of what has been graciously granted unto us. We should be asking, Why me? What is

it about me? Nothing you and I have been given was granted unto us for selfish gain. Jesus Christ was given to this world to save a selfish dying world. As a Life Strategist & Financial Coach, I have been endowed gifts, talents and abilities to educate and empower others to do the same with specificity for their lives. That’s why when we become self-centered or self-absorbed it is inevitable that you will face some kind of life challenge that will bring you back to a place of humility in order to discover true happiness. The year of 2012 may have been a roller coaster ride? However, through your ups and down the message was to remain happy. So, please allow this column to challenge you to look at matters differently. If you get what you are expecting in 2013 or not, it will not change your mind. Whatever, your present state in life is view yourself as happy! If you can do this now then you can handle whatever will come your way in 2013.

If someone you know is serving in the Armed Forces, you know how important it is to stay in contact. During WWII, writing letters back and forth was really the only way for family and friends to communicate with them. Sargent Buetow, of the 703rd Tank Battalion, writes about the value of these treasured letters, in a letter to his wife Lucille: Wednesday, December 13, 1944Lu Dearest, I haven’t written to you since Sunday, so maybe I’d better start off by apologizing, even though I know it’s not necessary for me to do so. Yesterday I answered Helen’s letter and one I had received from Lynne. Today I received the letter you wrote on the third, and also got one Shirley wrote on the twenty-eighth. In the package you included the camphor ice I asked for in case my hands get chapped. Darling, you’re too sweet for words—no matter what I ask you to do, you always do it, and I certainly love you for that. Shirl told me she’s been writing to Kenny now that he has gone overseas. I’ll answer her letter tonight, and I intend to tell her a few things about the value of writing to him regularly.

Quite a few of your letters are still missing, both air-mail and V-mail but that’s all right because it probably means that I’ll have a very lucky day sometime soon and get all of them at once. Say, darling, the salary you offered me to act as your model certainly sounds attractive to me. If you’re willing to pay that sort of a salary I’ll model your clothes any time you want me to, and the oftener it is, the more I’ll like it! Yes, Midge already k n o w s a b o u t E d d i e ’ s promotion. He told her about it right after he got it. I haven’t seen Norris in quite awhile, but he comes over to see us every once in awhile. He’s inclined to be rather irresponsible, and it was his own fault that he lost his stripes, although I think it’s too bad, also. We’ll continue Bob’s letter next week. Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! 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.

Patti Komara, President of Patti’s All-American Gymnastics in Dyer presented Larry Haak, co-founder with his wide Marla of New Hope Missions a check for $1884.61. The generous donation was a result of money donated by Patti, staff, and customers from Nov. 12-Dec. 15. The “Kids Feeding Kids” campaign was a great opportunity to teach children about charity and giving to the less fortunate. 100% of all proceeds go to purchase food for poverty-stricken areas in Mexico. There is no overhead since missionaries through New Hope pay their own travel, lodging, and expenses. This year, (as in the past,) New Hope will use the money to bring food, clothes, blankets, and building supplies to help alleviate some of the suffering in Mexico. “We are thrilled to be able to make this donation, especially during the holiday season. One dollar can feed a family of four one meal in Mexico”, stated Patti Komara. “NEW HOPE MINISTRIES” is a Nonprofit 501 C3 Corporation and all donations are 100% tax deductable. If you would like to donate to New Hope and their ongoing mission of

feeding the poor in Mexico please make check out to New Hope missions and mail to: Patti’s All-American, 1530 Joliet St, Dyer, IN 46311 Any questions, please call Bernadette Sheely at 219-865-2274.

Readers voicing their opinions, thoughts and concerns

NEW YEARS RESOLUTION...I hereby resolve to:• Never pull away from the gasoline pump ... with the hose still in the tank (darn those cell phone calls).• Watch more television -it IS the “window into the world”, right?• Keep my opinions to myself (yeah, right).• Get two friends to START smoking ... that way I’ll feel less guilty that I don’t seem able to quit.• Wear something other than sweat pants to the grocery store.• Stop repeating myself again, and again, and again.• Stop procrastinating ... (I think I just might start next month).• Gain some weight - I think I caught a glimpse of one of my ribs in the mirror yesterday.• Read something this year ... other than the comics.• Drive myself to the fitness center when I feel like going from now on ... because walking there makes me perspire.• Read those books I bought 5 years ago on “how to improve my memory” ... I keep forgetting to read them.

������ �������

As the year comes to an end, almost all of the major religions have a festival of some sort. For the Christians, it is Christmas. For the Jews, it is Hanukkah. Muslims have Ramadan, and the Buddhists celebrate Bodhi Day. Hindus celebrate Diwali in October, and many Asian cultures celebrate the New Year. What are all these holidays, though?

In the Christian faith, Jesus came to save the world from sin. On December 25, Christians celebrate Jesus’ birthday. Hanukkah is the Jewish celebration of past victories, both military and religious. The symbol of Hanukkah is the menorah, a candlestick that holds eight candles (plus another to light the others), because when the Jewish people won their freedom, they lit the menorah with one day’s worth of oil. That oil lasted for eight days. That is why Hanukkah is an eight-day celebration.

Ramadan is a month of fasting to remember the arrival of the Qu’ran, or the holy book of the Muslims. Muslims do not eat or drink during daylight during the month of Ramadan. This month is spent in prayer and holiness. At the end of the month of reflection, the Muslims have a three-day feast to break their fast. Bodhi Day is how the Buddhists celebrate the spiritual enlightenment achieved by Buddha. In Buddhism, everyone strives to be in tune with the world, so they celebrate the day that their great teacher achieved this.

Diwali is the Hindu Festival of Lights. This festival is celebrated around the New Year on the Indian calendar and remembers the victory of good over evil. Diwali is usually marked by large numbers of firecrackers, new clothing and sweets. Most Asian cultures make their major end- of-year holiday the celebration of the New Year. For them, the New Year is a chance to bring family together and celebrate with good food, firecrackers, parades, and dragon and lion dances. Now you know more about holidays around the world.

Santa Claus lives at the North Pole. The North Pole is the farthest place north that anyone can go. No matter where Santa goes when he leaves his house, he is heading south.

Where in the World?

Riddle

A: Donkeys (or monkeys)

Q: What animal lets everyone into a locked zoo?

Reindeers are a type of deer that lives in the arctic and subarctic areas of the world. They have adapted to live in the cold temperatures and to move through the snow and ice. Reindeer live in herds and migrate as the seasons change. Can you name the nine reindeer in Santa’s “special” herd?

North Pole

Dreidel is a popular Hanukkah game. To play, all you need to do is purchase a dreidel

and give each player 20 stones, M&Ms or coins. Before you play, you first need to know the letters.

The Hebrew letter “SH” is Shin, and if that side lands up, you have to put in two stones. The next letter is Hay and is marked with an “H.” This letter stands for half.

If the dreidel lands on Hay, you take half of the pieces in the middle. If the number is odd, you take half plus one. The next letter, marked with a “G” is Gimmel, which means that you would

take everything from the middle. The final letter is Nun, which means you do nothing. Now you

are ready to spin the dreidel!

B U S I N E S S D I R E C T O R YWhatever you need done, you’ll find the solutions right here!

(As seen on Facebook)1. Be especially patient with your humans during this time. They may appear to be more stressed-out than usual and they will appreciate long comforting dog talks.2. They may come home with large bags of things they call gifts. Do not assume that all the gifts are yours.3. Be tolerant if your humans put decorations on you. They seem to get some special kind of pleasure out of seeing how you look with fake antlers.4. They may bring a large tree into the house and set it up in a prominent place and cover it with lights and decorations. Bizarre as this may seem to you, it is an important ritual for your humans, so there are some things you need to know:a. Don’t pee on the treeb. Don’t drink water in the container that holds the treec. Mind your tail when you are near the treed. If there are packages under the tree, even ones that smell interesting or that have your name on them, don’t rip them opene. Don’t chew on the cord that runs from the funny-looking hole in the wall to

the tree5. Your humans may occasionally invite lots of strangers to come visit during this season. These parties can be lots of fun, but they also call for some discretion on your part:a . N o t a l l s t r a n g e r s appreciate kissesb. Don’t eat off the buffet tablec. Beg for goodies subtlyd. Be pleasant, even if unknowing strangers sit on your sofae. Don’t drink out of glasses that are left within your reach6. Likewise, your humans may take you visiting. Here your manners will also be important:a. Observe all the rules in #4 for trees that may be in other people’s houses. (4a is particularly important)b. Respect the territory of other animals that may live in the housec. Tolerate children7. A big man with a white beard and a very loud laugh may emerge from your fireplace in the middle of the night.DON’T BITE HIM!!Arlo Kallemeyn

HOLIDAY ROMANCE-CINDY DOORN TO WED MIKE NYLEN: With a surprise visit to Glenwood Oaks Restaurant and the diamond engagement ring as one of the courses, Mike Nylen, campaign strategist to South Holland Don DeGraaf (and also VP of Wealth Management at MB Financial) asked Cindy Doorn, of Docter’s Interior Plantscaping in South Holland (and a longtime South Holland trustee) to marry him. “It was spur of the moment and a total surprise on my part that day,” Cindy recalled. Mike said, “I really should ask your Dad first,” and so we called him (Bob DeBok) from the restaurant and he gave his consent, Cindy noted. The restaurant guests erupted in applause when they realized what was happening! The nuptials are set for August 10, 2013 at First Reformed Church in South Holland with Pastor Matt Waterstone officiating. The couple is fortunate to have both sets of parents still active and excited about the wedding. They are Art and Bev Nylen and Elene and Bob DeBok. The wedding will be a “big outdoor party in the backyard,” Cindy said. The couple have identical middle names (Lee) and consider this a good omen as they begin their “new journey in life together.” Congratulations and Best Wishes to Cindy and Mike on the pending nuptials.....Long May They Love!

DORIS PETERSON CELEBRATES 33 YEARS AT SOUTH HOLLAND’S AURELLIO’S! After 33 years at the popular South Holland restaurant, Doris Peterson of Thornton has decided to hang up her apron and call it a day. The restaurant gave Doris a farewell gift of her name emblazoned on the sign outside-”Doris--Thanks for 33 years!” Her family drove in to celebrate with her on Thursday, December 20th, 2012 and her many fans/restaurant patrons expressed regret that she would no longer be there to serve them. That sentiment also goes for N 2 N as we have enjoyed many a delicious meal there with a cheerful Doris on hand to enhance our dining experience! And, as a personal note, Aurellio’s has the BEST pizza around! Hubby and I and son Spencer and his daughters (our darling granddaughters) adore the place and get there whenever we can! Pictured here is Doris in the center with Sandy Luecke and Lisa Tanner! Congratulations Doris--now you can keep hubby Tom company evenings!
