Under NO circumstance should you send any money in advance or give the client your checking, license ID, or credit card numbers. Also beware of ads that claim to guarantee loans regardless of credit and note that if a credit repair company does business only over the phone it is illegal to request any money before delivering its service.

10 REASONS TO SHOP LOCALLY 1. Local Economic Stimulus. When you purchase at locally owned businesses rather than nationally owned, more money is kept in the community because locally-owned businesses often purchase from other local businesses, service providers and farms. Purchasing local helps grow other businesses as well as the local tax base. 2. Non Profits Receive Greater Support. Local business owners donate more to local charities than non-local owners. 3. Unique Businesses Create Character & Prosperity The unique character of your local community is defined in large part by the business that reside there, and that plays a big factor in your overall satisfaction with where you live and the value of you home and property . 4. Environmental Impact Is Reduced. Small local businesses usually set up shop in the town/village center, providing a centralized variety that is much friendlier to a community's walk score than out of town shopping malls. This generally means contributing less to sprawl, congestion, habitat loss and pollution. 5. Most New Jobs Are Provided By Local Businesses. Small local businesses are the largest employers nationally. Plus the more jobs you have in your local community the less people are going to have to commute which means more time and less traffic and pollution. 6. Customer Service Is Better. Local businesses often hire people with more specific product expertise for better customer service. You are also going to see these people around town and they are less likely to blow you off or be rude because they have to face you day after day. 7. Local Business Owners Invest In Community. Local businesses are owned by people who live in this community, are less likely to leave, and are more invested in the community's welfare and future.
8. Public Benefits Far Outweigh Public Costs. Local businesses require comparatively little infrastructure and more efficiently utilize public services relative to chain stores. 9. Competition And Diversity Leads To More Consumer Choices. A marketplace of thousands of small businesses is the best way to ensure innovation and low prices over the long-term. 10. You Matter More We talk a lot about exerting influence with your purchasing choices, or "voting with your wallet." It's a fact that businesses respond to their customers but your values and desires are much more influential to your local community businesses than the large big box stores. (permission to reprint from localfirst.com)
The Community Shoppers Guide will continue to support our community and local businesses. We ourselves are a third generation, locally owned and operated business, like most of the advertisers you see in our weekly issues. In the years since our first issue in 1945, we have witnessed drastic changes and shifts in the well being of the small town business. There are far too many empty buildings haunted by TOO MANY businesses past. Although it seems dire, collectively we can build our communities and make them stronger. Supporting local businesses brings more business. Which in turn, means less travel for the items you seek to purchase. With local support, businesses can give back to the communities they serve, making them a better place to live and work. You shop locally, the businesses give back, a great community is restored. A win, win it seems. To read more about going local check out Ecolocalizer, a great site that provides news, ideas and inspiration to "Think globally, act locally."

Don’t Let Your Business Become Extinct! It Pays to Advertise in the Community
In medical emergencies, time is critical. In some cases it’s a key factor in recovery. In heart, brain and spine emergencies, it can be a matter of survival. That’s why Borgess-Pipp Hospital re-engineered their ER processes to make sure every patient gets seen by an ER physician in 30 minutes or less. You’ll not only be seen faster, but by ER physicians considered among the best in the region. Add to that Borgess’ national reputation for excellence in matters of the heart, brain and spine, and the decision of where to go in an emergency becomes as easy as saying, “take me to Borgess-Pipp Hospital.”

My name is Karen McGuire, the daughter of Jimmy & Kumi McGuire and I'm a 7th grader at Woodrow Wilson Middle School. Recently, I was accepted into a program called People to People. This summer, I will be taking a trip to England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales to learn about their cultures and what it takes to become a student ambassador.

I need to raise funds for my tuition on this trip. One of the ways is recycling old, used or even broken cell phones. I am working with a company called PhoneRaiser in Texas. I send them the cell phones; they refurbish them and send them to third-world countries or people in the army. I found out through this program that 1 phone can contaminate up to 39,000 gallons of water if disposed of in a normal landfill, and that currently only 4% of the cell phones get recycled.
We’re very proud of you,

Do you want to play? Duke is something of a conundrum. It is difficult to figure out if his seeming reluctance to be handled is just his way of getting to know you, or if he is playing a game of tease. We think that most likely it is the latter, because he won’t give up, even if you feign indifference. Duke will run up to just within petting distance of you, give a couple of quick feints, then dart off quick as a whip as soon as you make the slightest move. Then he is back again, and again. Once he decides that the game is over and he deigns to let you pick him up, he snuggles right in for some serious cuddling. Call or email anytime.

If you have any old cell phones, or work for a company that might have a pile of them laying around the office, could you PLEASE bring them to:
1-26-11 My dog, Angel Sue Snyder, passed away on 1-26-11. It has been 1 year and it is like yesterday. She was like my own child that I don't have. She laid next to me at night when I watched TV and went to bed. She saw me off to work and greeted me when I came home. Now I come home to an empty house without my dog. I really miss her and I still cry at night. Angel, we all love you and miss you. I enjoyed you for 10 years and it's hard to move on.

I was only four months into retirement when I met a friend at the Fitness Center. As I walked out of the locker room into the café area I called him by name twice before he asked, “Should I know you?” When I removed my cap he knew me immediately. We laughed about it. It made me think … what if at the end of our life journey our Lord would ask, “Should I know you?” In the passage above, judgment falls upon those who “talk a good game” but do not live out their words. Jesus is more concerned about our walk than our talk. Jesus said, “By their fruits you shall know them” (Matthew 7:16). Faith in Christ is more than saying the right words; it is living our words. The Christian faith is more than saying the right thing; it is doing the right thing. What we do must be consistent with what we believe. “Everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock” (Matthew 7:24). In another passage, Jesus says, “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me, and I in him, he will bear much fruit.” (John 15:5). Spiritual fruit is never the result of human effort but God’s grace. We bear fruit only by allowing Christ to live His life through us. Without Him we can do nothing. If we are living in obedience to Him, we have nothing to fear. Here are some words of faith and hope: “I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me” (John l0:14). Prayer: Dear Lord, give me the sweet assurance of your saving presence in my life and help me to live out my faith in daily living. Amen. Peace to you, and please join us this Sunday in a church “Where Jesus’ love is lived.”
