Little Kylie Beckel sits on an exam table in a pediatrician’s office. Wearing a medical apron, the 5-year-old’s tiny legs are dangling from the end of it. She’s calmly reading a book. There she sits, blissfully unaware of what is to come next. Kylie is about to get a round of required immunizations so she can start kindergarten in the fall at Verda Dierzen Early Learning Center in Woodstock. Enter two Centegra CNAs with a tray in hand and three syringes on top, and Kylie’s demeanor immediately changes.

“Am I getting a shot?” she said to her mother, Kristin Beckel. Then began the begging, the pleading, the negotiating. Toys and ice cream were among the treats Kylie was promised for being a brave girl. Sure, these immunizations are painful for children to receive and parents to watch, but Beckel’s pediatrician, Dr. Christine Poulos, said these vaccines are important

Keith Peterson accuses the village of violating his due process rights over his firing / A3 BUSINESS
SPRINGFIELD – Illinois could be left without a representative in the U.S. House of Representatives leadership after Rep. Peter Roskam lost a vote of fellow Republicans for majority whip of their congressional caucus. The Wheaton Republican, whose district includes parts of southern McHenry County, fell short in a vote Thursday to become the No. 3 man in the House in the wake of Majority Leader Eric Cantor’s surprising primary defeat last week in Virginia. Local media reported Friday that at least two other Illinois Republicans – Reps. Aaron Schock and John Shimkus – voted for Rep. Steve Scalise of Louisiana rather than Roskam. Roskam, first elected in 2006, Peter had been the chief deputy whip, Roskam who is appointed by the whip. But Scalise will likely choose someone for that position who supported him, leaving Illinois without a representative in the leadership. Illinois does not have a member of the Democratic House leadership. Randy The main duty of the Con- Hultgren gressional whip is to count votes within the Republican caucus to determine if there is enough support to pass legislation. The Chicago Sun-Times reported Friday that Roskam looked deflated and sad when he emerged from the vote. Roskam, 52, congratulated Scalise in a statement released by his office, saying, “He ran a great race and I look forward to working together to achieve conservative policy wins that improve the lives of the American people.” The newspaper reported that Illinois Reps. Rodney Davis and Randy Hultgren backed Roskam. Rep. Adam Kinzinger did not indicate how he voted. The current whip, Rep. Kevin McCarthy of California, stepped up to No. 2 to replace the defeated Cantor, who had announced he would step down July 31 anyway. “The race was run, the race is over ... ,” Davis told the Sun-Times. “We are going to go back to doing what we were doing, which is putting Illinois first.”
