Happy Mother’s Day - Sunday, May 14th Tips For Dining Out On Mother’s Day Mother’s Day is right around the corner, & this special holiday serves to honor all those women who devote so much time & effort to their families. While gifts are certainly part of the celebration, a vast majority of children opt to treat Mom to a meal out come Mother’s Day. Not only does this give mom a night off from cooking, but also it presents an opportunity to get dressed up & spend time together as a family. A vast number of families travel to their favorite restaurants for Mother’s Day meals. Mother’s Day is one of the busiest holidays of the year for restaurants. The National Retail Federation says 54.8% of Americans treat their mothers to a special meal out on Mother’s Day. With large crowds to be expected, diners can follow a few tips when treating Mom to a meal. * Book early. To guarantee a reservation at any restaurant, namely your favorite restaurant, you will need to make a reservation well in advance. It’s never too early to put your name on the reservation list. * Expect to wait. Even with a reservation, you’re bound to spend some time waiting. Other families may be lingering at their tables, as no one wants to rush Mom out of the door. Plan accordingly for a potentially long wait time. This means having a snack before you leave. Don’t arrive famished, as no one wants the dining party to be hungry & cranky, which is not a good way to celebrate Mom. * Consider dining out a day before or after. Restaurants are generally packed on Mother’s Day, & as a result kitchen & wait staffs might be overtaxed. What’s more, diners might be relegated to a special or abbreviated menu. If you want a more relaxed setting & the ability to order whatever you desire, it may be a better idea to celebrate Mother’s Day in advance. Then have Mom enjoy a relaxing day at home on her special day. * Take-out is an option. Families can treat Mom to a dinner out, without really having to go out. Many restaurants offer takeout service, so you will not be limited to pizza or Chinese. Even chain restaurants have curbside service, so if Mom is in the mood for a burger or something more elaborate, she’ll have that option. Consider visiting these area restaurants serving Mother’s Day Brunch: Backstop Bar & Grill, 1800 Union Avenue, Belvidere, serving 9 AM - 3 PM; Hoffman House, 7550 E. State Street, Rockford, serving 10:30 AM - 4 PM; and Tropical Oasis, 7450 Logan Avenue, Belvidere, serving 10 AM - 2 PM.

Celebrate All Military This May Memorial Day is celebrated each May to commemorate the people who died in service of the United States of America. Even though barbecues & visions of the upcoming summer weather may command much of the attention come Memorial Day weekend, the holiday really serves as a remembrance for those military members who paid the ultimate sacrifice for their country, as well as the personnel who continue to protect & serve today. Memorial Day origins - Memorial Day was first known as Decoration Day & was borne out of the Civil War. on May 30, 1868, General John Logan, a national commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, decreed General Order No. 11, which designated the day for the “purpose of strewing with flowers, or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country during the late rebellion, & whose bodies now lie in almost every city, village & hamlet churchyard in the land.” May 30th was chosen because it wasn’t the anniversary of any particular battle. It took several years for the first state to recognize the holiday, which New York adopted in 1873. By 1890, all northern states recognized Decoration Day. When the holiday changed from commemorating those who died fighting the Civil War to honoring Americans who died fighting in any war after World War I, the South began to recognize it as well. Honoring the military - Although Memorial Day pays homage to the brave people who perished fighting for their country, it also is an opportunity to recognize the military men & women and their families who continue to work to ensure the freedom of Americans. The United States Armed Forces is renowned for its size & strength. Various sources suggest the size of the United States military is somewhere between 1.4 & 1.6 million active service people. The military is comprised of the Army, Army National Guard, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, & Coast Guard. Each of these military branches also has its own reserves. There are many ways to honor active, reserve & former veterans, as well as those who died in service of their country: • Help Veterans of Foreign Wars distribute red poppies as a visual reminder of the military’s efforts. • Volunteer at a veterans’ hospital or visit a wounded veteran at home. • Offer financial, legal or career expertise through the Corporation for National & Community Service (serve.gov). • Help to maintain the veteran area of a nearby cemetery. Place flags on all of the graves. • Befriend military families who frequently relocate, making an effort to welcome them into your community. • Educate children about past wars & the services the military provides. • Visit a military museum or historic site. • Observe the National Moment of Remembrance at 3 PM local time for one minute. • Post a message to the troops at the USO website (uso.org). • Attend The Memorial Day Parade, organized by VFW Post 1461 & American Legion Post 77, starting at 9:30 AM at the State Street Bridge.

Memorial Day BBQ Tips Memorial Day weekend marks the unofficial start of summer. For many, Memorial Day weekend also signifies their first chance to invite friends & family over for a backyard barbecue. While some never put their grills away for the winter, braving the cold so they can keep grilling year-round, many may need a refresher to ensure their Memorial Day BBQ starts summer off on the right foot. • Stock up on supplies. Before hosting your first backyard barbecue, take inventory of your supplies, making sure you have a spatula, tongs, oven mitts, a sturdy grill brush, & other accessories you may need during grilling season. Check each item to make sure it’s not worse for wear & do the same with the grill as well. Replace supplies that have too much wear & tear in advance of Memorial Day weekend so you have one less item on your to-do list come the day of the barbecue. • Designate some time to do some cleaning. Even if you cleaned the grill & patio furniture before putting the items in storage for the winter, they likely will need to be cleaned again before you host your first soiree of the season. Remove any dust & check for spider webs or signs of other critters that might have made your furniture home over the cold winter. Droppings from rodents can be dangerous, & spiders can bite unsuspecting grillmasters. Clean patio furniture before putting it out as well. • Find some new recipes. Hot dogs & hamburgers are perfectly acceptable backyard barbecue fare, but hosts who want to treat their guests to something new this summer can find a host of recipes online. Consider recipes for grilled vegetables so vegetarian guests can enjoy freshly grilled foods alongside your other guests. Just be sure to separate veggies from meat on the grill so vegetarian guests are not hesitant to eat. And while grilled meat is popular at barbecues, don’t overlook recipes for grilled fish that can be both nutritious & delicious. • Get guests home safe. Memorial Day gatherings tend to be festive, but keep an eye on guests to ensure that no one consumes an excessive amount of alcohol. Keep a list of local cab companies on hand or download a car service app to your smartphone so safe means of transportation are always within reach.

Tracing Your Genealogy
John H. Maville Attorney At Law 815-544-3165
The internet has put more information into our hands than generations past may have ever believed possible. One of the more unique ways the internet has opened doors is by providing a relatively easy way for men & women to trace their family histories. Once difficult to gather, information with regard to genealogy is now just a click away. Tracing one’s genealogy has become a popular pastime & one that is much more manageable thanks to the bevy of family tree & family lineage websites. Such sites work by gathering some key information, including the names & birthdays of certain relatives. The sites then use this data to create a more complete picture of family relations. On the popular genealogy site Ancestry.com, for example, suggestions pop up with a potential relative’s name or further information about a loved one, which can then populate the family tree even further.

For Independent Seniors Now Age 55+
In addition to knowing just who is in a family, tracing genealogy also can present a bigger picture of relatives’ occupations & military history, & may even shed light on their travel histories. Family tree sites can be enhanced by uploading images, census data, immigration records, & even more documents that would be otherwise buried in photo albums or memory keepsakes. Taking family genealogy a step further, many people are opting to couple their family history quests with DNA testing. Companies such as 23andMe can use a saliva sample to help pinpoint potential geographic roots. These findings can include an estimate on ethnicity, going as far as breaking down the percentage of ethnicity from certain regions of the world. Further testing may include the ability to learn about other relatives who are linked through these DNA matches.
PEARL PLACE
Family genealogy websites can provide fascinating windows into our family histories. People who are unsure of their ethnicity, those who were adopted, or anyone who is just curious about how their families began can find a wealth of interesting information in relatively little time.

National Nurses Week May 6-12 How To Show A Nurse You Care! Nurses are often the first people patients see when visiting hospitals. According to the U.S. Dept. of Health & Human Services Health Resources Services Admin., there were 2.8 million registered nurses, including advanced practice RNs, & 690,000 licensed practical nurses, or LPNs, in the United States between the years of 2008 & 2010. Nurses fill many roles in the medical community, assisting doctors & helping to make in-patient stays more comfortable for men & women who are ill or injured. Specialized nurses, such as nurse practitioners, may even serve as the primary healthcare provider, offering diagnoses & writing prescriptions. While there is a specific week set aside to show appreciation to nurses, many people agree that they deserve recognition throughout the year. Any instance is a good time to give back to nurses, & the following are a few ways to honor the nurses in your life: • Play caretaker to him or her. Nurses tend to the needs of others all the time, but some nurses do not get the respite they deserve. Those who want to show appreciation to a nurse who has helped them in their lives can present the nurse with a gift card for a massage & soothing spa treatment. • Cater a meal. Offer to cater a meal at the hospital or medical office so that all nurses on staff can benefit. If there is one nurse in particular you want to treat, give that nurse a gift card to a nearby restaurant. • Provide foot relief. Nurses spend hours on their feet, & that can cause pain or stiffness throughout the body. Present a gift card to a store that specializes in comfort shoes or custom orthotics. A certificate for a pedicure or foot massage would no doubt be appreciated as well. • Create a charmed existence. Charm bracelets are the rage right now, & nurses may appreciate a bracelet that highlights their career path with specific charms. For something they can wear on the job, treat nurses to a Stetho-Charm™, which is a charm that slides securely onto stethoscopes. These charms come in many designs & can make for a memorable gift. • Give a decorative badge reel. Nurses must wear identification or have swipe cards on their person to gain access to areas of hospitals. Many badges are standard items without any flare or style. A colorful or decorative badge reel can be a nice way to brighten up a nurse’s day. • Give verbal or handwritten thanks. One of the easiest & most heartfelt ways to show your appreciation to nurses is to simply tell them how you feel. Offer a handwritten note or speak with a nurse in person. Such a simple gesture does not take much effort, but it is bound to make an impact.

Police Week May 15-21 How To Show Support For Local Police Police officers put their lives on the line every day they show up for work. But in spite of the sacrifices officers routinely make, their contributions often go unnoticed. Police officers’ jobs might be thankless, but that does not mean people cannot express their gratitude to the men & women in blue who keep their communities safe. The following are a handful of ways to show support for the police officers who work hard to protect & serve your community.

• Pick up a police officer’s tab. Police officers work in your community &, therefore, they likely break bread in your community as well. When you see police officers ordering meals at a local restaurant or sitting down to lunch at a neighborhood diner, offer to pay for their meals or arrange payment with their waiter or waitress without letting the police officers know. Picking up police officers’ tabs is a simple gesture, but it’s one they will appreciate & it will let them know they’re supported in the community they’re working hard to protect. • Support police fundraisers. Police departments fundraisers support various causes. Some might aim to raise funds for sports programs designed to help local youth, while others might hope to raise money for the families of fallen officers. Whatever the motivation for the fundraiser, by supporting the event you are donating to a good cause & showing the police they and their efforts are being supported. • Teach grandchildren to respect police officers. Police officers have come under considerable scrutiny in recent years, and youngsters may not know how to respond to news stories that do not paint police officers in a positive light. Grandparents can show their support for police officers by teaching their grandchildren to respect police at all times. Encourage grandchildren to come to you or their parents if they read or hear stories that depict police officers negatively so you can help them process the story & encourage them to maintain the respect they have for police officers. • Thank a police officer when given the opportunity. Though it seems simple, saying “Thank you” to police officers can reassure them that the communities they work so hard to protect support & appreciate their efforts. Thanking police officers may only take a few seconds, but such a gesture can help police officers better cope with the stress of their jobs. Police officers have difficult jobs that require them to make considerable sacrifices to protect the communities where they work. But it doesn’t take much to show your support for local police officers & express your gratitude for the sacrifices they make every day.
The Benefits Of Backyard Koi Ponds Koi ponds can make for beautiful additions to landscaped backyards or home gardens. While many people are drawn to koi ponds because of their aesthetic appeal, there are many additional reasons for homeowners to consider installing koi ponds in their backyards. Ponds & water gardens can transform yards rather quickly. Ponds can add appeal to otherwise mundane yards & provide eye-catching, relaxing spots to sit and enjoy the scenery. Koi ponds have recently fallen into a favor with homeowners in North America, but these popular water features date back several centuries to Asia. Centuries ago, Chinese rice farmers began keeping carp in their rice paddies, & that practice eventually caught on in Japan. The fish started to breed & form slight color variations. Koi, often referred to as “Nishikigoi,” are actually descendants of the common carp, though the koi of today are more brightly hued & ornamental fish than carp. Koi can become a low-maintenance family pet. These fish tend to grow accustomed to having people around, & will often interact with visitors at the surface of the water. It’s not unusual to have koi beg for food or take food from a person’s hand. They also may tolerate some light handling.

Koi ponds also provide some psychological benefits. The sound of the water can be soothing & relaxing. Sitting by the pond unwinding next to a pond & watching the fish swim by can help individuals decompress.

This opens up the opportunity to share the landscape & pond with others, building new friends & relationships in the process.
220 West Locust, Belvidere, IL 61008
Another benefit of koi ponds is that they create a miniature ecosystem within the yard. When stocked with aquatic plants & other fish that can help keep mosquito larvae & other parasites at bay, they can sustain themselves quite nicely. Ponds also can attract birds & beneficial insects, such as butterflies & dragonflies. By implementing straight vertical walls on the perimeter of the pond & setting up some natural barriers, homeowners can avoid unwanted predators from disturbing their koi ponds.
