South Holland Police Checkpoint
Hip and Knee Replacement
Monday, September 26, 2016, the South Holland Police Department conducted a safety checkpoint in the Village of South Holland. This is an initiative designed to protect and save lives. The checkpoint operated from 12:00 to 3:30 a.m. in the area of 162nd and Ellis Avenue. The purpose of the checkpoint was to detect vehicles with faulty equipment, occupants’ use of seat safety belts, and valid driver’s licenses. The checkpoint had minimal impact on traffic flow and was highly visible with use of signage, marked patrol vehicles, and uniformed officers. This initiative also provided an opportunity for the South Holland Police Department to remind motorists to always wear a seat belt while operating a motor vehicle, and don’t text and drive. For additional information regarding upcoming planned checkpoints, contact the South Holland Police Department at 708-331-3131, option 2.

“My advice? Don’t put it off another day.”
I have been a fitness instructor in our community for nearly 40 years. Over the years I’ve had the wonderful opportunity to work with several people with various backgrounds, abilities, and goals. Unfortunately, arthritis is a condition that many of us have in common. Exercise and Aquatic Fitness is one way to relieve pain and delay disability, however more invasive treatments such as joint replacement is the only option for some people. Illinois has over 2.3 million people with physician diagnosed arthritis and there are more than 13,000 children in Illinois with Juvenile Arthritis (JA). I have been involved with the Arthritis Foundation for over 14 years, serving as an instructor, fitness trainer and volunteer advocacy ambassador. I am writing to insure that the candidates for elected office are aware of the impact of the over 100 types of arthritis and know that arthritis is the number one reason for disability. One in five civilians and one in three military personal have arthritis. Please support legislation that will increase research dollars for this debilitating disease affecting so many Americans and that will help find a cure. Also please consider joining the Bicameral Arthritis Caucus. Thank You, Cindy Copenhaver, LMT

He Did Not Sound Like A Clown WOODROW WILCOX On September 9, I was in Washington DC for the annual Family Research Cou nci l’s Va lues Voter Summit. I attend as a repor ter a nd gat hered in for mat ion for f ut ure stor ies about sen ior citizen issues. W h i le at t he event, I hea rd Dona ld Tr ump speak. Some news commentators call him a clown. But, he did not sound like a clown to me. I recorded the speech and was going to write about it from the standpoint of senior citizen issues in the speech. But, I think that a better thing to do would be to let a nyone hea r the speech w ithout my commentary. So, I posted the audio of that speech a t m y w e b s i t e w w w. WoodrowWilcox.com. It is in the “other” section of
the “audio” page. It seems to me t hat sma r t c a nd idates a nd their staff would want to post several speeches by a candidate in order to let voters hear the speeches w i t h ou t t h e f i l t e r o f ne w s me d ia, pu nd it s, commentators, or comedians. That would bypass the main media and reach potential voters directly. A n i nterest i ng bit of news t hat I lea rned wh i le attend ing t he weekend event is that Dr. A lveda K ing, t he niece of D r. Ma r t i n L ut her K ing Jr., now suppor ts D on a l d Tr u m p.
