Noak is Repaying Favors With Your Tax Money

Master Mark Caruso displays one of the three title belts that will be

awarded on June 27th. Belts are awaiting logos.

Romeoville is not a village brimming with millionaires; as a matter of fact, the medi-an income falls short of most surrounding communities. Romeoville is plagued with foreclosures, people out of

work, and increasing costs for public services. Still none of that seems to matter to May-or John Noak and his hand-

picked Village Trustees, for them it is re-ward time. When May-or Noak faced questions about where some of his campaign signposts came from prior to the April 7th election, he ran to a friend to defend him.

That friend was former State Representative (R-85th) Brent Hassert. Someone put a let-ter together for Noak stating that Hassert had loaned him some posts. It is questionable whether Hassert wrote that letter or even if he actually signed it because it identifies him as the State Representa-tive for the 83rd District. Sure-ly, Hassert must know after so many years that he represented the 85th District. The people of Romeoville knew long before that election that if Mayor Noak was elect-ed he would get more money and he intended to hire Brent

Hassert to perform consulting services for the Village.

................................................................info@theweeklyreporter.com................................................................ Nashville, Tenn. (PRWEB) May 19, 2009 -- Does the CIA lie to the Presi-dent and senior members of Congress? The answer is yes, according to pub-lisher and presidential historian Tim Miller. He says there’s no doubt Nancy Pelosi could be telling the truth about not knowing about the water-boarding torture used on suspected terrorists, all while the CIA has been lying. Miller, who is CEO of FlatSigned Press, refers to at least two examples surrounding the CIA and JFK’s assas-sination when making his claim that the intelligence community lies to public of-ficials:

First, President Bill Clinton appointed a special committee to review CIA files on the shooting of JFK but the com-mittee never got all of the documents it requested. Only after President Clinton left office did intelligence officials admit to omitting some important documents. Miller cites this omission as a clear mo-tive by the CIA to mislead even the highest levels of government. Second, President Ford was told in 1964 that ‘no CIA personnel destroyed documents pertaining to President Kennedy and/or his assassination.’ But, in the final book published with President Ford (published by FlatSigned Press), he reveals “the CIA did destroy docu-ments relevant to JFK and the assassination.” Miller again points out how easy it was for the CIA to lie to the president, let alone a mem-ber of Congress. Miller says the only person who can keep the CIA honest is the president and to that end, he says, the president must try to keep the director of the CIA in check at all times. He encourages and is hopeful President Obama will fulfill his pledge to have transparency in gov-ernment and make the truth from the CIA prevail in this situation.

“There is so much hype in the main-stream media right now about Nancy Pelosi and the CIA but it doesn’t seem like anyone is pushing the intelligence community for answers,” says Miller. “Pelosi is questioned every day about the issue while it seems the CIA is get-ting a free ride. It’s time to bring the

past to the forefront of the conversation and realize that the CIA can and has misled before. I think they’re at it again,” he concludes. Miller is a graduate of Aus-tin Peay University and attended The University of Mem-phis Law School. Throughout his ca-reer, he has served as White House Press Correspondent and worked directly for

the U.S. Congress. He held Certified Press Credentials for the White House, the U.S. House of Representatives, and the U.S. Senate; and was named one of George W. Bush’s 1,000 Points of Light by the Commercial Board of Appeals.

Smart Financial Moves for “Empty Nesters”..............................................................Mary Jo Ardizzone [email protected] Edward Jones | www.edwardjones.com.............................................................. It’s graduation time at colleges across the country. If you have children graduat-ing from college, you’re probably excited about the opportunities that lie ahead for them. But once your last child leaves home, and you become an “empty nester,” you also may find some good opportunities for yourself — opportunities to improve your financial situation. In fact, your empty nester status may help you make progress toward what are likely some key financial goals at this stage of your life: Getting rid of debt and ac-celerating your savings for retirement. What steps should you consider? For starters, you could downsize your home by moving into a smaller, less expensive one. If you make a profit on the sale of your home, you could use it to invest for retirement and clear up debts. Of course, you may be emotionally attached to your home and neighborhood, but downsizing may be a good financial option to consid-er at some point. Here are a few other suggestions for tak-ing advantage of your empty nest: • “Max out” on your retirement plans. If you now have money no longer needed for your children’s college education, use these funds to help save for retirement. Try to fully fund your traditional or Roth IRA, and put as much as you can possibly afford into your 401(k) or other employ-er-sponsored retirement plan. If you still have money available after “maxing out” on these accounts, look for other retire-

ment savings vehicles. • Increase your investments for other goals. Up until now, part of your invest-ment strategy — perhaps a large part — was aimed at building enough resources to help your children pay for college. Since that need has now been met, you may be free to boost your investment toward oth-er goals, such as travel, a vacation home, charitable giving, funding for a small busi-ness you hope to operate after you retire — the list could go on and on. And since you are probably entering your peak earn-ing years, you may be able to add substan-tially to the investments designed to help you achieve these various objectives. • Reduce your credit card debt. If you have more disposable income available now, try to pay off your high-rate credit cards. By freeing up this money, you can save and invest more. • Evaluate your insurance needs. When you purchased your life insurance, you may have factored in enough coverage to pay off your mortgage, send your kids to college and provide some retirement funds for your spouse. But if your kids are through school, your mortgage is nearly paid off and your spouse has accumulated some money in an employer-sponsored retirement plan, you may not need the same amount of life and disability cover-age. Any money you can save on insur-ance can be used to help fund your IRA, 401(k) or other investments. As an empty nester, you will miss your children, but you’ll also find that you have greater freedom to pursue your hobbies or other interests. And by taking the steps de-scribed above, you can help yourself move closer to reaching your financial objectives as well.

a favorite as he comes out fighting for the belt on the 27th of June. Master Mark Caruso blamed that one loss on a mental error on the part of Sizemore who made the mistake of dropping his guard for an instant and suf-fered a knockout be-cause of it. Caruso said, “It’s a lesson I’m sure he will never for-get.” This is a sport for only the fittest, tough-est fighters who can take a licking and come back aggressive enough to win against equally mean competitors who don’t understand the word quit. Chris Sizemore weighs in at about 185, and stands 5’11” and describes his fighting style as a “wrestler”. He will be an threat to whoever faces him on June 27th. Elvin Leon Brito, known as “El Ban-dito” is another tough, experienced fighter who will bring a record of 7 and 5 to the event. Master Mark Caruso defended Brito’s record saying he has faced only very experienced, very ag-

gressive competitors against whom he has shown extreme skill and endurance. Master Mark said, “He’s someone you want to watch, someone you don’t want

to underestimate. His record will fool you.” El Bandito has won 4 of his 7 wins by knock-outs and weighs-in at about 155 pounds while standing 5’7” tall. He describes his specialty as boxing and ju jitsu, a dangerous combina-tion which is evidenced by his four Kos. Elvin Leon Brito will be look-ing for another knock-out to add to his record and is sure to bring a lot of thrills to the floor as he goes out to rack-up another win. Athletic competitors interested in getting on the ticket for June 27th

still have time to do so and can contact Master Pete the event Matchmaker at (630) 641-9138. He notes that, “It’s your chance to be seen on national

7 Tips for Choosing a Retirement Community

.................................................................info@theweeklyreporter.com .................................................................

West Point, PA (Vocus/PRWEB ) May 18, 2009 -- Preparing for a comfortable and enjoyable retirement requires plan-ning. There are many factors to consid-er, including present and future needs, personal preferences, and financial situ-ation. For those contemplating a move to a retirement community, there are more choices available than ever be-fore. ACTS Retirement-Life Commu-nities (www.actsretirement.com), a not-for-profit aging services organization, offers the following tips for individuals researching a retirement community for themselves or a loved one: • Check the background of the com-munity: Find out when and how it wasestablished, who owns and operates it, and who manages the community. What is the track record of manage-ment? Is it not-for-profit (which may provide a tax benefit) or for-profit? Is it accredited for meeting high stan-dards in services, operations and fi-nancial stability? Visit www.carf.org. • Consider future health needs: Many senior communities offer an at-tractive lifestyle but do not provide medical services, making another move a possibility down the line. Be sure to find out if health care is available, what levels of care are provided at any com-munity you are considering and how much it will cost. • Get detailed information about fees: Find out what all fees do and do not include. Some refundable fee contracts do not protect you from the increasing costs of medical care (such as assisted living and skilled nursing care) if ever needed. Ask if monthly fees are subject to increase and under what conditions. Find out the average fee increase per-centage over the past five years. 4. Meet with residents & tour the community: Ask to speak with several

residents to see how they like living at the community. Stay for lunch or din-ner so you can sample the food and the service. Notice if the community is clean, well maintained, and secure. Is there adequate parking? 5. Use a services and amenities checklist: Get a complete information packet including application for admis-sion, fee schedules, floor plans and resi-dent contracts. Compare each commu-nity’s pricing to amenities, programs and services offered. Consider closely the cost associated with staying in your current residence (maintenance, utili-ties, property taxes, insurance, etc.) ver-sus moving. 6. Ask about recreational and social activities: Find out what kind of social, cultural and educational activities are

available. Is there an activities director on staff to plan entertainment, events, and trips? Is transportation available? Is there an on-site fitness center and programs for wellness? 7. Consider location and find out if there is a waiting list: Is the commu-nity near family, friends, doctor’s office, place of worship, and shopping? Is there a waiting list? If so, how does it work? Is a deposit required? For more tips visit www.actsretire-ment.com/guide and download A Consumer’s Guide to Retirement Liv-ing, a free 20-page booklet that explains the range of retirement living options that are available along with checklists and worksheets to help seniors gather information as they begin to explore re-tirement living options.

...............................................................info@theweeklyreporter.com................................................................ (ARA) - Supplements are a part of many people’s daily lives. They contrib-ute to our health, but also leave us with a lot of questions. Which supplements are best? What do they actually do? What are the most affordable options? “Supplements are a smart addition to a healthy lifestyle,” says Dr. Luke Buc-ci, a certified clinical nutritionist and researcher at Schiff Nutrition. “The health aisle of your local drug store holds a large amount of options that can be confusing.” Bucci says that just because a supple-ment is expensive doesn’t mean it’s the best one. “Some of the highest quality, most beneficial supplements are actually quite affordable, if you know what to look for,” he comments. If you want the best supplements for both your health and your wallet, Bucci recommends you consider the following four: 1. Multivitamins “A multivitamin should be taken on a daily basis and helps ensure the body gets the vitamins and minerals it needs to stay healthy,” says Bucci. “This is es-pecially important if you’re not eating a well-rounded diet. A multivitamin can help fill in the gaps that your daily intake of food is not.” Look for options that are tailored to your age group, such as multivitamins for women or for those 50-plus. At just a few cents a day, multivitamins are one of the most affordable ways to help main-tain good health.

2. Probiotics Can bacteria be good for us? Yes it can, if it’s the right kind. “Probiotics are bac-teria that we can ingest in supplement form that help keep the natural balance within our digestive systems,” says Bucci. “Some studies have shown that probiot-ics can restore normal bowel function, prevent infections in the digestive tract and even help the immune system.” When looking for a probiotic supple-ment, try to find one that has Lactobacil-lus acidophilus and/or Bifidobacterium

bifidus human strains. These will be the most beneficial.

3. Omega-3 fatty acids An omega-3 supplement is a great way to improve your heart health and maintain good triglyceride levels. Fish oil pills are the most popular way to get this important fatty acid and provide several cardiovascular benefits. But new research has discovered other omega-3 options. “For many reasons, krill oil has demonstrated itself as a better source of omega-3,” says Bucci. “Krill are tiny shrimp-like crustaceans that inhabit the cold ocean areas of the world.” Bucci notes that krill oil contains es-sential omega-3 fatty acids, but these are chemically linked together in a different form -- a more soluble structure that is easily absorbed by our bodies. He rec-ommends MegaRed Omega-3 Krill Oil because it has been tested in clinical tri-als, is smaller and easier to swallow, and contains the antioxidant astaxanthin, which neutralizes free radicals. “Just one krill oil softgel, about the size of a coffee bean, lowers C-Reactive Pro-tein (CRP) levels better than three large fish oil softgels. CRP is recognized as a key marker of cardiovascular health. The lower your CRP the healthier your heart. And with krill oil you have the benefits of omega-3 without the fishy smell or aftertaste,” says Bucci.

4. Antioxidants Antioxidants the body needs to stay healthy are found in a variety of fruits and vegetables. Since most of us do not eat enough of this fresh food group, an antioxidant supplement is a good idea. “Antioxidants are a great way to keep the body feeling great and ward off sick-ness,” Bucci comments. To get a boost of antioxidants, try tak-ing 1,000 mg Vitamin C daily. Women should also consider adding calcium and Vitamin D. With this information, shoppers can be more knowledgeable as to which supple-ments are right from them and be able to navigate the vitamin aisle with greater ease. For more information about Mega-Red, visit www.schiffmegared.com or call (800) 526-6251.

Physicians for Human Rights Calls for Sri Lankan

Doctors Release Cambridge, MA (Vocus/PRWEB ) May 18, 2009 -- Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) demands the immediate release of three Sri Lankan physicians whom the Sri Lankan Army (SLA) de-tained on May 16, 2009. A Minister of Health official stated on May 18 that government forces handed over the physicians to police. Their current condition and whereabouts remain unknown; however, authorities may have taken two of the physicians to the Terrorist Investigation Division in Colombo. PHR fears Sri Lankan security forc-es will use excessive force or torture in retaliation against them for providing detailed information about govern-ment shelling and civilian casualties in the conflict zone to outside media and human rights organizations. The Sri Lankan Prevention of Terrorism Act grants security forces broad arrest and detention prerogatives. “Physicians for Human Rights is deeply concerned about the arrest and incommunicado detention with-out charges of our three Sri Lankan colleagues,” stated Frank Donaghue, PHR’s CEO. “We have no information on the three men’s conditions of con-finement, but we fear for their health and safety. We call on the Sri Lankan government to release the doctors im-mediately, and to respect their rights to legal counsel and to receive medical care as well as family visits.” “Because our sources on the ground report that health workers are being killed during government bombings of medical facilities, and because our sources also report that the govern-ment is detaining doctors incommuni-cado -- all serious violations of medi-cal neutrality -- we are calling for the UN Security Council to establish an international Commission of Inquiry to investigate possible war crimes in Sri Lanka,” stated Mr. Donaghue. The three physicians who were last seen on the morning of 16 May at the

Omanthai crossing point in northern Sri Lanka are: • Dr. Thangamutha Sathiyamoorthy, Regional Director of Health Services in Kilinochchi. • Dr. V. Shanmugarajah, Medical Superintendent at Mullivaaykkaal field hospital. • Dr. Thurairaja Varatharajah, Re-gional Director of Health Services in Mullaitivu, who sustained serious wounds during a recent bombard-ment. SLA forces reportedly airlifted him from the Omanthai crossing point to an unknown destination. PHR remains alarmed by the large numbers of civilians who are unac-counted for and who lack access to humanitarian emergency relief. Given reports of indiscriminate attacks on the civilian population in northeastern Sri Lanka, PHR calls on the Sri Lank-an government to ensure the protec-tion and freedom of movement of all civilians and medical personnel in the conflict zone. The Sri Lankan Army declared an end to the war on May 17 after de-feating the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) separatist forces. The Tamil Tigers acknowledged its own defeat the following day. While the SLA stated it had “rescued” all re-maining Tamil Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), PHR sources there revealed that only 25,000 IDP civil-ians near Mullaitivu have entered government-controlled areas during the final 72 hours of fighting. Sources in Sri Lanka reported to PHR they are gravely concerned of the state and se-curity of the remaining 125,000 IDPs still trapped in the conflict zone. Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) mobilizes the health professions to advance the health and dignity of all people by protecting human rights. As a founding member of the Interna-tional Campaign to Ban Landmines, PHR shared the 1997 Nobel Peace Prize.

Arlington, VA (Vocus/PRWEB ) May 18, 2009 -- The National Crime Prevention Council (NCPC) com-mented today on the pending sentenc-ing of Lori Drew, the mother whose cyberbullying emails led to a young girl committing suicide. NCPC, the group best known for McGruff the Crime Dog, says it hopes this case will shed the necessary light on how devastating cyberbullying can be to our young people. NCPC says adults are not immune to cyberbully-ing either and shows how easily cyber-bullying can lure in both perpetrator and victim.

In fact, NCPC says it is easier to bully online because the perpetrator can hide behind the anonymity of the

Veteran divorce rate up 78% since 2003, suicide reports all time high at 115,000 per year with average age of twenty-four, one in four people living on our U.S. streets are Military Veter-ans (300,000), fastest growing popula-tion of homeless are Female Iraq War Veterans. New Operation Legacy Life Planning Workbook Enables Veterans to Transition to a Civilian Life of Pur-pose, Meaning and Happiness. Opera-tion Legacy is a grassroots project to get the Operation Legacy workbook into the hands of every U.S. Veteran. Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB)—Op-eration Legacy announces the release of the Operation Legacy life planning workbook to help U.S. Military Veterans transition from military life to a civilian life of purpose, meaning and happiness. Operation Legacy is a grassroots project

to get the Operation Legacy workbook into the hands of every U.S. Veteran.

Urgent Need After the heroes welcome…now what? There is an urgent need for op-timistic and constructive life planning to help overcome the challenges our troops face when returning home. The lack of purpose and life planning when our Veterans return home sets the stage for a downward spiral of problems in-cluding apathy, unemployment, broken relationships, family problems, addic-tion, depression, Post Traumatic Stress, and even Suicide. The fastest growing homeless population in the U.S. is fe-male Iraq war Veterans. Current resources are not adequate to help Veterans prepare for a future that aligns their passions, skills and mission

in civilian life. The Operation Legacy workbook was specifically written to meet the Life Planning needs of U.S. Military Veterans with 314 pages in-cluding five steps and twenty exercises. It provides the tools and knowledge necessary for our Veterans to develop a plan for a great life, resulting in a legacy that they can pass down to future gen-erations. The authors are Doctors of Psychol-ogy, and Marriage and Family Therapy specializing in training and personal de-velopment. One of the co-authors is a United States Veteran. Our U.S. Military Veterans should never have to pay for their workbook They have already paid the price - Now it’s our turn to give back. Citizens, companies, and organizations can buy books for the Veterans to honor their

service and their future. Workbooks can be ordered at www.operationlegacy.net, and www.amazon.com: Book title: Op-eration Legacy. Purchasers may receive and give books to Veterans, or Opera-tion Legacy can distribute to Veterans. Workshops are also available. Operation Legacy is a project of In-ternational Life Planning, LLC, a grass-roots organization founded by expert practitioners in the fields of psychology, counseling and training, as well as hav-ing military experience. Their mission is to develop innovative resources that enable U.S. Military Veterans, civilian youth and adults to pursue lives of pur-pose, meaning and happiness. Operation Legacy always gives a portion of their revenues to charitable military organizations.

Internet and do things he or she is not likely to do in person. NCPC applauds the states pursuing legislation on the cy-berbullying issue. The agency believes bullying is not a rite of passage but a pathway leading to long-lasting and po-tentially devastating consequences. NCPC positioned itself in the forefront of this serious issue when it released its cyberbullying prevention campaign in 2007. NCPC’s research showed more than 43 percent of teens reported be-ing victims. Even more troubling is that

only one out of 10 kids told their par-ents. NCPC’s cyberbullying prevention brochure is available at www.ncpc.org to help parents and their teens get a grip on cyberbullying.

Here’s what you can do to prevent cy-berbullying • Set an example. Parents have to show their teens how to resolve conflict peacefully. Lead by example and treat others with respect. • Discuss the issue. Set expectations for online behavior and discourage your teen from posting others’ personal information or contributing to slam sites. Parents should adhere to those rules too. • Set guidelines. Set rules for Internet use and monitor your teen’s use of tech-nology (Internet, cell phones, and other devices). As teens get older, they believe their parents should be more concerned with what they see and hear online. • Select a central location. Place your home computer in a central place in

your home, such as your kitchen or liv-ing room. It is easier to monitor your teen’s Internet use this way. • Encourage positive behavior. Make sure your teen is not sending or post-ing text or images intended to hurt or embarrass another person. • Save the evidence. If your teen has been cyberbullied, make sure that you copy all messages and websites--you may need them for reporting purposes. • Block cyberbullying messages. Learn how you and your teen can block cyber-bullying messages through your Inter-net service provider, social network site, or chat room moderator. Seventy-one percent of teens believe this is the most effective way to prevent cyberbullying. To schedule an interview, please con-tact Michelle Boykins at 202-261-4184 or mboykins (at) ncpc (dot) org. For more information on the public educa-tion campaign, visit www.ncpc.org.

A Message To Graduates On Their Graduation.........................................................Andrea Sala /[email protected]

Andrea Sala is the Principal at Scarlet Oak School District 145 .........................................................

Firstly, I would like to say congrat-ulations to all of our 2009 Graduates on your accomplishments. Lastly, I would like to say that you are never done learning. This month and next, commence-ment exercises are taking place all over the country for all matriculating students. The word matriculation signifies that a student is enrolled in the next sequential course or grade level of schooling. The word com-mencement means to carry out the first steps of an action. Therefore, with a commencement ceremony you are beginning a new year of learning by matriculating to another year of life, same as always. Setting milestones and then enjoying them, recognizing them, keeps us moving forward. So, what is next for you? Graduates, we need to signal to all students and you need to understand that learning does not end, even with graduation. Celebrations for pre-school, 8th grade, high school, college and so on are very appro-priate to honor an accomplishment however, they must by no means, sig-

nal an expected end to learning. By numerical count of traditional grade levels in schools, I suppose I would be in 23rd grade but a count of my actual years of “really learning” is 35, for I am in post graduate school and 35 years old. Now I would never say, nor do I believe, that graduating is no big deal or that it is not worthy of high praise, but in today’s world we must acknowledge that graduation is also a basic requirement. So graduates, check this milestone off of your to do list, pat yourself on the back, and get back to work making yourselves and us proud. A Note to Proud Parents and Community Members We are progressing in our expecta-tions for children. Several initiatives are in the works that would make college a reality for all children. The Secondary School Innovation Fund Act is one that would provide critical resources for innovative secondary school redesign to dramatically raise high school graduation rates and stem the flow of high school drop-outs.

Specifically, the legislation would

• Expand on the success of emerg-

ing models like multiple pathways to graduation, early college high schools and dual enrollment, and early warning intervention systems. • Support a variety of secondary school redesign strategies such as personalization, improved transi-tions into and out of high school, expanded learning time, postsec-ondary and work-based learning opportunities, and a rigorous cur-riculum aligned across grades and with postsecondary education and the workforce. • Provide resources for high-quali-ty research and evaluation to ensure funding goes to programs with a proven track record in raising stu-dent achievement. Our President has signaled that education is at the top of his ad-ministration’s list for improvement. In a White House briefing just last week President Barack Obama said, “And dropping out of high school is no longer an option. It’s not just quitting on yourself, it’s quitting on your country – and this country needs and values the talents of every American. That is why we will pro-vide the support necessary for you to complete college and meet a new goal: by 2020, America will once again have the highest proportion of college graduates in the world.”

Beautiful, captivating Roberta Murray Brittain would have turned 113 years old this year had she lived, but Roberta passed away last August. She turned 112 on May 31, 2008 and another story was written about her for that birthday. There was something about Roberta, a charm, a warmth, something really indescribable that made loving her very easy. Her smile was gripping; she didn’t speak much in her later years, but she didn’t have to put anything into words, her glowing, beau-tiful face said it all. A few years ago, Roberta did launch into a conversation; in a voice sub-dued by age and distorted by missing teeth, she related the memories of her childhood in Fosters, Ala-bama where she grew up with 7 other children and her parents. They lived and worked on Grandfather George E. Murray’s farm. It was a large farm, and the entire family worked hard to grow and bale cotton to pay off the lands grandfather purchased from his former owner. He had been a slave. When the Civil War ended he bought the land in Fosters. Roberta’s father took her out of the fields picking cotton because she was “just too slow”. He decided she would accomplish a great deal more keeping house and preparing meals for the fam-ily. He was right. Housework fit Roberta nicely and it was that experience that would provide her with work in Joliet where she came with her husband of 2 weeks in June 1917. Her husband Wil-lie Brittain found work immediately in Joliet at American Steel and Wire. Willie

spent his entire working life on that one job. Roberta worked cleaning houses. One of her most prominent employers was Jay Levine a well-know Chicago news correspondent. Roberta and Willie raised 3 children. One daughter, Kay, graduated from Joliet Junior College, went on to complete her college educa-

tion at Illinois State-Bloomington and then earned a masters degree at Nation-al University in Evanston. Kay became a teacher and retired after 40 years in her profession. Kay took Roberta into her home and cared for until Roberta died last year. Kay is herself a wonder-ful person, a living example of what it means to be a good person. Roberta reflected the qualities of her perservering grandfather and her deter-mined father Henry E. Murray. Those same attributes were passed on to all descendants of George Murray the for-mer slave who endured slavery and saw it overcome, all in Tuscaloosa County

The Joliet Branch 3018 of the National Association for the Ad-vancement of Colored People, the NAACP, held its annual Free-dom Fund Banquet and Scholarship awards ceremony on Saturday May 24th. The gala event, held at Republic Hall in Joliet, enjoyed a tremendous turnout and was one of the very best, if not the best eve-ning in the local organiza-tion’s history. The NAACP has reached a milestone of 100 years of service to mankind. United States Congresswoman Deb-bie Halvorson made a brief appearance and in parting noted that she regretted not being able to remain for the entire event. Unfortunately, as the Congressio-nal Representative for the 11th District, Halvorson has made herself available to as many people as possible who reside within her district. That means keeping a very tight schedule when she is home from Washington, one that does not al-ways afford all the time she might wish to spend in one place. The number of office holders in at-tendance is too great to name each and every one of them, and since every per-son in attendance is surely a VIP in his or her own right, suffice it to say that

everyone who at-tended was someone very special and they really and truly are. As always the ladies were decked-out in the fin-est of their finery and every one of them was stunning; they made one very beau-tiful picture, remind-ing everyone of what feminine appeal, is really about. There

were certainly a lot of Miss and Mrs. Ameri-

cas in the hall last Saturday. Clearly, every beautiful woman de-serves a handsome man; and ladies, there was an abun-dance of them pres-ent at the N A A C P d i n n e r . Dressed in suits and cheerful as Sunday ’s choir there was not a solemn face among them. Of c o u r s e ,

they were all under the watchful eyes of some very prominent Pas-tors including Rever-end Dr. Isaac Singleton who recently retired after serving Mt. Zion Baptist church for 47 years. In step with the na-tional theme “A Cen-tury of Social Change” Reverend Isaac Single-ton retraced the years back to when he began carrying schoolbooks for an attractive young lady who later became Mrs. Pearlie Singleton his wife of 54 years. Dr. Singleton is al-

ways a pleasure to hear and his unique speak-ing character had folks chuckling as he remi-nisced about the past. Retired Judge Ray-mond “Ray” Bolden re-minded everyone of Jo-liet’s yesteryears, how it has matured socially and how African-Americans have become achiev-ers in this great city. He painted Joliet’s history with a brush that brought the past to life and held the attention of everyone

in the room. There was no sound aside from the Judge’s commanding voice at the podium as he drew a vivid picture of the years gone by. Judge Bolden hammered home the importance of the family unit in pre-serving the values of the past and the importance of keeping our boys and girls in school and working toward mak-ing good lives for themselves. It is too bad the Judge cannot speak to all boys and girls one on one, he would surely change many lives. Mrs. Thelma Kirkland was the lead-off speaker and set the tone for the eve-

.................................................................ARAcontent [email protected] ................................................................. (ARA) - Pure, all-natural foods have been gaining in popularity. From choos-ing whole-wheat pastas over enriched pasta to brown rice over white rice, Americans are paying more attention to what they eat. And when it comes to cooking, olive oil has become a popular, all-natural selection, due in part to praise it has received from health experts for a high content of “good” fats (monounsaturat-ed) and the ability to lower bad (LDL) cholesterol levels. Consuming about two tablespoons of olive oil per day may reduce your risk of heart disease, according to the Food and Drug Administration. The Mayo Clinic says that you can get the most benefit by substituting olive oil for saturated fats, rather than just adding more olive oil to your diet. “With natural foods and pure ingre-dients growing in popularity, consumers are looking for foods that are not only delicious, but also contribute to their overall health,” says Peggy Ellingson, vice president of marketing for Land O’Lakes. All-natural olive oil has been a dietary staple in kitchens around the world for

thousands of years -- Homer called it “liquid gold,” while Hippocrates re-ferred to it as “the great therapeutic.” Today, it has a growing foothold in American cuisine. While you may know that olive oil is good for you, the opportunities to use it may not be as obvious: Maybe it doesn’t seem to go well with steamed vegeta-bles, or you’d still prefer to use butter on your toast or baked goods. Fortu-nately, there are many ways to add the goodness of olive oil into your diet: * Substitute for vegetable oil when topping salads with oil and vinegar dressing. * Spritz on veggies before grilling to keep them from sticking and to impart a light flavor. * Use as a marinade for meat or poul-try. * You can now get the goodness of olive oil in a new butter from Land O’Lakes. You get the traditional butter flavor, now made with the simple purity of olive oil. With people looking for foods made with simple ingredients rather than ad-ditives and preservatives, Land O’Lakes Butter with Olive Oil is made with only cream, olive oil and salt and is all-nat-ural. It has the taste of butter with 50 percent less cholesterol, zero grams of

trans fat per serving and 45 percent less saturated fat than traditional butter. The product is available in a seven-ounce, resealable container. In addition to spreading on bread or toast, it can be an excellent substitute for traditional butter in everyday cook-ing. Try this great summer recipe that uses Land O’Lakes Butter with Olive Oil:

Summer Risotto Preparation time: 10 minutesCooking time: 28 minutesYield: six servings

Ingredients: - 1/4 cup Land O’Lakes Butter with

Olive Oil - 1 1/2 cups uncooked Arborio rice - 3/4 cup sliced green onions - 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh garlic - 3 14-ounce cans vegetable broth - 12 ounces (3 cups) fresh green beans cut into 1-inch pieces

- 6 medium (1 1/2 cups) Roma toma-toes, chopped - 3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves (or 1 tablespoon dried basil) - 1/2 teaspoon pepper - Freshly shaved Parmesan cheese, if desired

Directions: Melt Butter with Olive Oil in 12-inch skillet until sizzling; add rice, green onions and garlic. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened (three to four minutes).Continue cooking 20 minutes, adding one cup vegetable broth at a time, stir-ring occasionally and waiting until broth is absorbed before adding more. Stir in green beans; continue cooking and add-ing broth until rice is tender and all liq-uid is absorbed (5 to 10 minutes). Stir in tomatoes, basil and pepper; continue cooking until heated through (1 minute). Top with cheese, if desired.

(Vocus/PRWEB ) May 20, 2009 -- She has been blind for 13 years. So, when Lisa Davidson, of Warminster, PA found out about the ACVO/Merial Na-tional Service Dog Eye Exam event, she was elated. She completely relies on her guide dog, Eagle for assistance. “I think it’s great these animals are being repre-sented because they have a very special job to do,” says Ms. Davidson. “Eagle has opened many doors for me, to allow me to become independent. It’s so im-portant that his eyes are working.” And, that’s exactly the reason behind the event. Stacee Daniel, executive direc-tor of the American College of Veteri-nary Ophthalmologists (ACVO) says, “If we can assist more dogs, then the dogs can better assist people.” The effort, which took place the week of May 4th, 2009 brought together more than 150

board certified veterinary ophthalmolo-gists across the U.S. and Canada to pro-vide free sight-saving eye exams to more than 1,500 dogs. “This event was such a success due to the outstanding support of our volunteer ophthalmologists, our sponsors and the service dog commu-nity,” adds Ms. Daniel. “All were instru-mental in helping these dogs.” Lisa Davidson took Eagle to the Cen-ter for Animal Referral and Emergency Services in Langhorne, PA to get his free eye exam. Board certified veterinary ophthalmologist, Dr. Robert Peiffer, ex-

amined the 6-year-old black lab/golden retriever mix, and gave Eagle a clean bill of health. “In these exams, we hope to identify any health issues in their early stages,” says Dr. Peiffer. “Early detection and treatment are the keys to fast recov-ery.” At Katonah Bedford Veterinary Cen-ter in Bedford Hills, NY, Pele, a young Labrador retriever was examined by board certified veterinary ophthalmolo-gist, Dr. Cory Mosunic. “We’re looking for any retinal disease or early cataracts,” says Dr. Mosunic. “We’re also looking for things that will limit their vision down the road, whether it’s an ingrown hair or anything that can result in a scratch of the cornea. It’s a complete ocular exam.” Pele is from Puppies Behind Bars, an organization providing psychiatric service dogs to soldiers coming home from Iraq and Afghanistan. “I’m deeply apprecia-tive of the veterinarians that participate in this,” says Puppies Behind Bars Presi-dent and Founder, Gloria Gilbert Stoga. “I think it’s a wonderful service.” Participating dogs included active “working dogs” that were certified by a formal training program or organization or currently enrolled in a formal training program. Specific service groups are list-ed on the website at www.acvoeyeexam.org.

Plans for next year The ACVO/Merial National Service Dog Eye Exam Event is conducting the exams for the second year. Plans for next year are already underway and will likely take place again the first week of May 2010. You can learn more, by visiting www.acvoeyexam.org.

Sponsors Sponsors for the 2009 ACVO/Merial National Service Dog Eye Exam Event include The American College of Vet-erinary Ophthalmologists, Merial, Kong Veterinary Products, Optigen and Hills. The American College of Veterinary Ophthalmologists® is an approved vet-erinary specialty organization of the American Board of Veterinary Special-ties, and is recognized by the American Veterinary Medical Association. Its mis-sion is “to advance the quality of veteri-nary medicine through certification of veterinarians who demonstrate excel-lence as specialists in veterinary ophthal-mology.” To become board certified a candidate must complete a DVM degree, a one-year internship, a three year approved residency and pass a series of credentials and examinations. For more informa-tion, please visit www.ACVO.org.

that we pay our fair share. “The House of Representatives sent a similar message yesterday when it passed a FY09 supplemental bill, au-thored by Chairman David Obey and Subcommittee Chairwoman Nita Lowey, which includes sufficient funds to pay off all U.S. debt to the UN since 1999. The bill includes $836.9 million for the Contributions to International

Peacekeeping Activities account and $80 million—a $30 million increase over the President’s request—for the voluntary Peacekeeping Operations account. The increase would provide support for expanded missions in So-malia and the Democratic Republic of Congo. “These actions will help return the U.S. to good financial standing at the

UN after several years of U.S. late pay-ments and underfunding. By authoriz-ing and appropriating the resources necessary for the U.S. to meet its com-mitments to multilateral organizations, Congress is delivering on this Adminis-tration’s commitment to restoring U.S. leadership through diplomacy.” About the Better World CampaignThe Better World Campaign (BWC),

University is committed to providing quality education with special attention to students who might have difficulty in financing a college degree program. The support team will be a resource to assist the Iraqi student as he pursues his four years of undergraduate studies at Lewis University. Some of the sup-port may include helping to raise funds to provide books, health insurance and cover other expenses; identifying lo-cal families who would host a young person during the holidays; providing winter clothing; and taking the student to visit and tour the Chicago area. Michael Fekete, Director of Interna-tional Student Services at Lewis Uni-versity, is coordinating the joint effort between the university and the com-munity. “We are looking for individu-als interested in making a commitment of talents and gifts helpful to this en-

deavor,” he said. “We truly hope peo-ple undertake this challenge and turn it into a real contribution to the Iraqi student and the community as well.” “Educating an Iraqi student is a small but beneficial step that we can take to help rebuild Iraq,” commented Brother James Gaffney, FSC, President of Lewis University. “The Mission of the De La Salle Christian Brothers who sponsor Lewis University is qual-ity education, with particular concern for the disadvantaged.” For more information or to offer as-sistance, contact the Lewis University Office of International Student Servic-es, Michael Fekete at (815) 836-5549.

Dear Lindsey:Please tell me what you think. I go to high school and I work part time in a hot dog place. For awhile I was working and my parents didn’t say anything about my pay. They told me they were happy that I have a job and look forward to going to work. Well last week my parents said they wanted to have a sitdown. In our house that means a family discussion between my parents and me. I don’t have brothers or sisters. So we did. My father said he thinks it is time for me to start paying my way and he wants me to give him $20.00 a week. That sucks! I don’t make that much and if I give him $20.00 that is really taking a big part of my pay. My father and my mother work and they make good money so I don’t see why I have to give them my pay. Can you help out?

Dear Can You:You said your parents let you slide for awhile after you got your job. That was considerate and they probably wanted to give you a chance to get settled on the job and to have some money saved. As far as “That sucks” goes well maybe you are right. Sometimes it’s hard to work for your pay and have to shell it out for bills but that’s life. Your father sounds like someone who understands the value of building a strong character. You are right, they probably don’t need your money but you are learn-ing to be responsible and to pay your way in life. No one gets a free ride. If you don’t learn it now you may never learn it. Twenty dollars is a small price to con-tribute toward your keep. Think of what it has cost to raise you. Yes, your parents no doubt raised you out of love but that does not eliminate the costs. I would think you would want to kick in something just to show your appreciation for the good family life you enjoy. I believe this is an important step in your development and I have to give your father credit. Think about it. I hope you will have a change of heart and feel good about giving a few dollars to your parents. ....................................................................................Dear Lindsey:There is this real cute guy who rides the bus with me to school. Sometimes he sits beside me and talks a little. He did that a few times and I am starting to think he likes me. The problem is I am a decent girl and I was always taught to be protect my reputation and my character. My family is very religious. I sort of like this boy and I think I would like to know him better but what should I do?

Dear What should I do:It just happens that I too am a person of strong beliefs but being decent and being strong in your faith does not mean you have to isolate yourself from the world. So far the boy has done nothing to offend you and he has only made attempts to become more acquainted with you. There is nothing sinful about an honorable relationship between a girl and a boy. I suggest that you talk with him when he sits with you and learn about him. Focus the conversation on him so you can learn about his habits and his plans for the future. That will tell you a lot about him. You can learn if he drinks, smokes, uses drugs, and what his plans are. Then you can decide whether you might want to see him or not. One thing I suggest, and I suggest this for all teens, let your parents know about any friendly contacts you have. Not that they have to oversee your friendships but as a safety measure. Good luck. © Copyright 2009 The Weekly Reporter

> FrOm 9NAACP Celebrates “A Century of Social...ning making it clear that the best is yet to come, we cannot live in the past. While much has been achieved there is much to be accomplished. The annual NAACP dinner and awards ceremony is always something to antici-pate. This year was no excep-tion. There were so many old friends and pleasant person-alities there, it is impossible to give proper recognition to ev-eryone who deserves it. That is unfortunate because so many very wonderful people were gathered together. Local NAACP Presi-dent Nathaniel Romeo de-

serves a hearty thank you for a producing a memorable event and one that should make any-one who missed it sorry they were not present. His wife, the never aging Vanessa Romeo, was once again a key figure in making the event a tremendous success. Past President and current 1st Vice President Betty Washing-ton must not be forgotten; Betty is a doer who makes things hap-pen without fanfare and always with that big beautiful smile of hers. The event this year was un-questionably outstanding to say the least and it is sad that ev-

ery one of the really marvelous people who were there cannot be mentioned. They do deserve recognition because each and every one of them is impor-tant to this community in some way. Silver Cross Hospital donated $5,000 to the scholarship fund from which eleven outstanding achievers will receive scholar-ship awards. The scholarship winners were selected from Jo-liet Central High School, Lock-port Township High School, Joliet Central High School, and Joliet Catholic Academy. They are headed to many colleges. President Nate Romeo re-

minded everyone that, while great strides have been made toward “leveling the playing field”, a great deal of work lies ahead to be done. Away from the podium the President said, “Electing Barack Obama Presi-dent is not an end, it is only an inspirational beginning for our youngsters.” The NAACP has spent 100 years working to enforce the Constitution of the United States. While it is primarily remembered for its representa-tion of people of color, its ef-forts have benefited all Ameri-cans.

By hiring Hassert, Noak seems to be conceding that he is not fully qualified to meet the needs of the village. He makes it appear that he needs some-one older and wiser to do what he is uncertain he can do him-self. He all ready has a full time Village Manager, Steve Gul-den, now he will have someone else to hold his hand who will call himself a consultant. The people fired Brent Has-sert but Hassert wants people to believe he can get favors done in Springfield for Rome-oville. Hogwash! Brent Has-sert is a Republican who lost to a newcomer, Democrat Em-ily McAsey. Illinois politics are controlled by Democrats, and they will not sellout McAsey

to make Hassert look good. If Romeoville gets anything from Springfield it will be through its Senator A.J. Wilhelmi or State Representative Emily McAsey. Hassert and Noak both know there will be little assistance available to someone who lost an election to a young woman who entered politics for the first time and won. He has no favors to call not even from fel-low Republicans, he is a loser. You are paying Brent Hassert a pension and now you will pay him consulting fees on top of that and the question is: FOR WHAT? John Noak owes his party and part of his repayment is to give Brent Hassert a hand-out. The handout is payment

for services the village does not need. The party gave Hassert a consulting job with the Will County Forest Preserve District prior to the election. Now Romeoville, you will pay John Noak many times more than he is worth, you will pay Village Manager Steve Gulden, and you will pay Brent Hassert for…who knows? Romeoville voters got lazy on April 7th. They stayed home to let the other guy do the may-oral-picking for them. Only a handful of voters turned out to vote for the three parties op-posing Noak and his insatiable longing to spend your tax dol-lars. John Noak made certain that the village employees, their families and their friends, voted

and that was enough to get him elected. In 2006 Romeoville was es-timated to have a population of 36, 837 people. On April 7th, only 3,392 people voted in Romeoville! If you reside in Romeoville, you should be embarrassed to know that only 415 people cast votes for Bob Emler; 399 voters cast ballots for Gail Raucci; and 526 peo-ple came out for Andy Goita! Those are shocking numbers for a village the size of Rome-oville. Now you will pay, pay, and pay some more because when you had the opportunity to prevent wasteful spending you did nothing. That is a dis-grace. The fact that only 3,392 people cared enough about

Romeoville to vote is a stain on Village history that will never go away. John Noak got 2,000 votes. Most of those probably came from the 400 village employees whom he told would lose their jobs if a new mayor was elect-ed, and their families. There were obviously a handful of other misguided individuals who voted for him, probably 800 or so stray votes. One must wonder what the veterans who died to give you the right to vote thought if they could see the sorry turnout in your village. At least two people are happy you stayed at home on April 7th—John Noak and Brent Hassert.

Alabama. The Murray family pro-duced a writer/poet, teacher, alderman, president of the NAACP, a county commis-sioner for the very county in which George Murray was a slave. One after one, spread across the United States All of the Murray descendants have been successful in one manner or another. They made good use of liberty. They proved, without accolades, that there is no telling what wonder-ful things can result from be-ing free and making the most of that freedom. The entire family, person after person, is a real-life success story, good folks to emulate. Roberta remembered, even when she was 112, how the cotton boll would prick the ends of her fingers as she reached for the cotton within it. Roberta was deaf by then

and she could only hear if the speaker shouted into her hear from an inch or so away. Still, it was worth it because when she heard she would smile that warm, loving, enchanting smile of hers; that made any effort worthwhile. Her smile was priceless. There will never be another Roberta Murray but her mem-ory will live on, as will that of her father and her grandfather who was man enough to be the man he knew he was. The life story of Mr. George Murray is a great success story by any measure and Roberta and the other descendants of Grandfa-ther Murray are models from which everyone can learn something. Happy Birthday Roberta! Thank you for teaching an old man so many important things.

Remembering Roberta Murray

yesterday and now move to Governor Quinn for his signa-ture. House Bill 255 will raise more than $1 billion in new revenue to support a $28 billion state infrastructure and job creation bill. The first capital plan in Il-linois in a decade, the bill is in response to a declining econo-my in Illinois. The bill will also allow the state to capture more matching federal dollars from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. “Will County is in dire need of capital for roads, bridges and other infrastructure projects,” Wilhelmi said. “The Senate was able to build a creative plan that will fix the infrastructure problems across the state while creating jobs.”

The General Assembly also passed House Bill 312 which al-locates the money to communi-ties across the state. Projects in Senator Wilhelmi’s district include: * I-55 at Weber Road - $132,000,000 in funding for interchange reconstruction, construction engineering, land acquisition, adding auxiliary lanes and widening and re-surfacing* US 52 - $6,210,000 in fund-ing for resurfacing, bridge beam replacement and new bridge deck * I-80 at Center Street - $4,800,000 in funding for bridge superstructure and new bridge deck * ILL 53 - $14,608,000 in funding for resurfacing, bridge

rehabilitation, traffic signal modernization, pavement marking and guard rail * ILL 171 - $5,405,000 in funding for resurfacing and cul-vert rehabilitation * ILL 7/ Larkin Avenue - $2,680,000 in funding for re-surfacing * Westbound ramp of I-80 at Briggs Street - $850,000 in funding for intersection econ-struction and land acquisition * Joliet Public Schools Dis-trict #86 - $26,744,900 for in-frastructure improvements “My district is in dire need of infrastructure dollars,” Wil-helmi said, “I look forward to Governor Quinn signing this capital bill so that we can get these projects started and bring jobs back to Illinois.”

Bienvenidos al Buró de Protección del Consumidor

Asegúrese de dar a los niños la medicina correcta y la cantidad correcta.

Cuando se trata de tomar medicinas, los niños no deben considerarse como pequeños adultos. En caso de usar medi-camentos sin receta médica, las siguientes son 10 maneras de asegurarse de administrar a los niños la medicina apropiada y la cantidad correcta. • Lea y siga siempre las in-strucciones de la etiqueta. Preste atención especial a las adverten-cias y a las instrucciones de uso. Si nota nuevos síntomas o efectos secundarios no esperados, o si la medicina parece que no está haciendo efecto, comuníquese con su médico o farmacéutico inmediatamente. • Obtenga ayuda de un far-macéutico u otro proveedor de servicios médicos si no puede leer o entender las indicaciones. • Sepa cuánta medicina admin-istrar y cuándo hacerlo. Nunca debe duplicarse la dosis reco-mendada simplemente porque el niño/a parece estar el doble de enfermo que la vez anterior. Lea y siga las indicaciones y comuníquese con el médico de su hijo/a si tiene alguna pregunta. • Conozca las siguientes abre-viaturas tablespoon (tbsp. [cucha-rada]) y teaspoon (tsp. [cuchara-dita]). También debe conocer: milligram (mg. [miligramo]), milliliter (mL. [mililitro]) y ounce (oz. [onza]). • Use el dosificador correcto. Si la etiqueta dice dos cucharaditas y usted tiene un dosificador con onzas solamente, no adivine —

obtenga el dispositivo de medida correcto. No utilice un disposi-tivo sustituto, tal como una cuchara de cocina. • Hable con su médico, far-macéutico, u otro proveedor de servicios médicos antes de administrar dos medicinas a la misma vez, a fin de evitar una posible sobredosis o una interac-ción no deseada. • Siga las recomendaciones relativas a límites de edad y peso. Si las indicaciones especifican que no debe administrarse la medicina a niños de menos de cierta edad o peso, no lo haga. Consulte con su médico. • Siempre use la tapa de seguri-dad para niños y vuelva a poner correctamente la tapa después de cada uso. Tenga cuidado especial cuando se trate de suplementos o vitaminas con contenido de hi-erro, ya que han causado muerte por envenenamiento accidental en niños menores de tres años. • Siga la advertencia “MAN-TÉNGASE FUERA DEL ALCANCE DE LOS NIÑOS”. Muchos medicamentos ac-tualmente se suministran con sustancias para ocultar el sabor a medicina, razón adicional por la cual todos los medicamentos siempre deben mantenerse fuera de la vista y el alcance de los niños. • Siempre revise el envase y la medicina para asegurarse de que no existan signos demanipu-lación indebida o intrusión no autorizada. No compre ni use ninguna medicina contenida en un envase con señales de corte, desgarro, segmentación, u otras imperfecciones.

¿Está enfermo uno de sus hijos? No adivine. Lea las indicaciones.
