A celebration: 175 years of Aurora history

Big birthday an Aurora celebration

The big one will be when Aurora turns 200 years old. That will be in 25 years. For now, the year-long celebration in Aurora on the occasion of a 175th birthday will be appropriate. The first big event of the year was a doubleheader last Friday. First, there was a gathering at the Aurora Post Office in the afternoon. March 2, 1837 Aurora had its own post office through a letter from postmaster Jason Crane/The Voice

Special Olympics Polar Plunge

Jason Crane/The Voice

The Illinois Law Enforcement Polar Plunge Sunday to benefit Special Olympics was at Loon Lake in Silver Springs in Yorkville. A group from the Montgomery Police Department takes the plunge in the chilly water.

By Jason Crane What would it take for you to jump into a lake with a water temperature of 36 degrees in Winter? For 294 Fox Valley area citizens and first responders it is one of the coolest ways to raise funds for Special Olympics Illinois. The Special Olympics Polar Plunge has grown from one location in 1999 to 20 across the state this year. This year the first Super Plunge at North-

western University's North Beach started the 2012 Polar Plunge series. The 1 p.m. plunge time into Loon Lake at Silver Springs State Park in Yorkville last Sunday was the 18th this year. Two of the three remaining plunges are new this year. The inagural plunge in Joliet will take place March 10. Lincoln plungers will jump in March 17, and Rock IsSee page 15

Aurora’s 175th offers a vision for the future, possibilities Expectations and perceptions play a part in how we view life and the variety that can be presented. Aurora never had celebrated a 175th anniversary so who knew what to expect? The modest celebration last Friday was fitting for a 175th birthday. Cake, speakers, good music, and a promise for growth in the next 25 years willl be tucked away in the memories of many citizens. What will be the celebration for the 200th anniversary for the once McCarty Mills area? Aurora grew after those first few years and became a focal point in the Fox River Valley. At the turn of the previous century the satellite cities of Aurora, Joliet, Elgin, and Waukegan stood alone as small urban areas with less than great dependence on the big city to the east. Naperville, Schaumburg, and a few other commuter towns in metropolitan Chicago have grown in influence and population strength. Aurora continues to build its commerce strength, but at a much slower pace than in the previous century. For a few ideas about growth, see page 14 and thoughts from Charles Coddington. His bottom line is to have an Amtrak stop at the old train station which has been unused for 20 years. Perhaps a dynamic approach will bring new growth. Having good ideas are easy, however. The citizens of Aurora who have the power and influence to make such things into reality must have a strong belief in being dynamic, yet, practical. How long would it take to bring Amtrak, build a hotel, condominiums, and a small convention center all within range of the old train depot?

The power to make it happen resides with a small group, both within Aurora and outside of Aurora.

Montgomery is the next likely place for a Metra train stop, but because of the economic times and the shortage of available cash it may take 10 years to bring the Metra stop to Montgomery. Aurora grew 100 years ago because of its location and foresight. Population growth, mainly to the far east has boosted Aurora to the second largest city in the state. What can we envision for the 200th anniversary? A dynamic approach with careful strategy would be helpful.

New course required in school shootings March, 1, 2012 Dear editor; John Whitehead is ever ahead of the news. His "No easy solutions to making sense of school shootings," The Voice, March 1, states the problem well. I would like to humbly suggest a new course of action. We need to hear from conservatives on this subject. Republicans can get things done when they want to, such as when president Richard

Nixon went to China. On the subject of our firearms the conservative Bush administrations achieved the com-

regulated militia, and some conservatives tell us that we are all in the militia. I'm a veteran, and I say let's get some

military guys in on the problem, together with all the knowledgeable folks in the NRA: Gentlemen, we have a problem. Now you fellows who know about guns,

start figuring out what to do. We are losing friendly casualties! For instance, automobiles are well regulated. Cars have keys; it is possible to make guns with tiny ignition keys. In the service we locked up our vehicles and guns after use; range discipline was very tight. This all needs some intelligent research, not the restating of old arguments. G.B.H. Aurora

State Letter Carriers support Juan Reyna March 1, 2012 Dear editor; The Illinois State Association of Letter Carriers is proud to endorse Juan Reyna for re-election to

He brings to this office dignity, respect, and honesty. With that said, we will do our all to support and vote for Juan Reyna

February 27, 2012 Dear editor; I would like to write on behalf of my friend Scott Gryder who is running for Kendall County Board District 2. I am submitting the following endorsement: Driving through Ken-

dall County, I have seen so many different campaign signs. It can be potentially overwhelming trying to determine who is the best person for the job. Without hesitation, Scott Gryder is the best choice for Kendall County Board District 2. I could

tell you about his accomplishments, or how great he looks on paper. But knowing Scott personally, there is far more than just a resume which qualifies him to serve on the Board. I can attest to his character and work ethic. Not only is Scott a

great leader, but he inspires those around him to step up and become involved. March 20 you will have five votes for Kendall County Board District 2. Make sure one is for the first name on the ballot, Scott R. Gryder. Steven Phillips Montgomery

2012 election campaign remains volatile, expensive Matt Lockshin, campaign manager for CREDO, sent the following E-mail: “The 2012 election is moving right along and the election campaign has a bigger budget than any other. This year president Barack Obama is expected to fundraise more than $1 Billion and I’d expect the eventual Republican frontrunner won’t be far behind, which means it can develop some of the most powerful tools and employ the best and brightest staff. It’s the most important single political campaign in the world to win. The president of the United States is still the world’s most powerful elected official. It’s got huge numbers of people involved. The Obama team already has over 200 staff working full-time in its head office in Chicago, a figure that is likely to increase rapidly in the next month, plus hundreds of thousands of volunteers on the ground ready to be engaged and resourced. “While I accept that election campaigning is dif-

ferent to campaigning to change public policy, and that the campaigns will make use of many of more traditional techniques like TV advertisements, that are perhaps less available to public policy campaigns. I believe it’s still interesting to see how the tools used in previous campaigns have often tracked closely to the tools that are now common place in most campaigning organizations. As Slate magazine notes: “A month ago, president Obama announced during the State of the Union speech the creation of a new financial crimes task force to investigate the crimes and misdeeds that led to the economic collapse and ‘hold accountable those who broke the law.’ “Yet, despite the enormity of the issue, its direct impact on millions of Americans and the widespread nature of crimes and wrongdoing, the new financial crime unit has been given a paltry 55 staff members to undertake this enormous task. “This contrasts to the approximately 1,000 FBI agents and dozens of federal prosecutors who were assigned to prosecute cases related to the much smaller savings and loan scandal of the '80s, or the 100 FBI agents tasked with investigating the Enron scandal, which involved just one company and caused none of the economy-wide damage we've seen since the collapse of the housing bubble. “President Obama's record on Wall Street accountability is abysmal. But because of enormous grassroots pressure from activists and polling that suggests he needs to take on Wall Street as a part of his election campaign, we have a real opportunity to move president Obama to mean-

Holiday Magic with Miss Merry Christmas, Jack Frost By Carter Crane The Christmas holiday season traditionally follows Thanksgiving Day closely. In communities around the Midwest, turning on the lights in the chilly air is a ceremony taken seriously, even with a wink. More than 1,000 observers and participants squeezed into plaza area outside of North Island Center in Aurora, across from the Paramount Theatre, last Friday, to partici-

pate in Holiday Magic, the city government’s welcome to Santa and the holidays. (See page 3 for expanded holiday happenings in many communities.) Singing carols, viewing live reindeer, consuming cookies and hot cocoa, and lighting the 38-foot Christmas tree at the plaza outside of the North Island Center were part of the annual event.

ingful action on Wall Street accountability. “President Obama's first task force at the Department of Justice did little if anything to prosecute Wall Street for crimes that led to the financial crisis. But because of your activism, he announced a new task force and named progressive champion and New York attorney general Eric Schneiderman one of its five co-chairs. “Now we need to pressure the White House to give that task force the resources it needs to pursue justice. Without sufficient staff to conduct thorough investigations, it's hard to see how this task force could bring indictments quickly. “The economic crisis we're in, demands a response commensurate with the damage done by Wall Street crooks. In an election year when we know the Obama reelection campaign wants to run against Wall Street, Obama will be particularly sensitive to public perception of whether his efforts to hold Wall Street accountable are meaningful and represent the full force of his office. But we only have until election day before we lose our leverage. We have until then to ensure that president Obama's gestures towards Wall Street accountability are more than mere sleight of hand that does more to protect Wall Street than to bring justice for the millions of American taxpayers who bailed out the big banks but still haven't seen any accountability for the financial fraud that led to the economic collapse. “We want, and our country needs, indictments. The collapse of the housing led directly to the economic crisis we're in. But not one of the Wall Street crooks who drove our economy off a cliff has gone to jail. And without aggressive investigations and prosecution for misconduct, none of them will,” Lockshin wrote. To get involved, readers may go to CREDO Action from Working Assets and sign the petition telling president Obama: 55 investigators are not enough. We need 20 times more staffing to launch a real investigation into Wall Street's crimes.

Christmas tree lights were turned on all over the country last weekend.

Ins and outs, ups and downs, of historical elevators When given the choice, I will walk up or down the stairs rather than take an elevator. There are two reasons. One is that it is healthier to walk. The second reason is that I have claustrophobia. When I was attending a 3 p.m. Girl Scout meeting at St. Thomas in Peoria, age 9, some of the girls thought it would be amusing to lock me in a closet. It was a supply closet with shelves almost to the door. I pounded on the door and screamed to let me out which they did, it seemed to me, later rather than sooner. To this day, I can feel the terror of thinking no one would hear me or let me out of that closet so any enclosed space, without windows or doors, is a place I avoid. The fear I feel in an elevator is acute and I can’t wait for the doors to open. Similar feelings arise when I have to take an airplane, but that is another story for another time. So I was curious about the beginnings of elevators. Lifting loads by mechanical means, an elevator, called a lift in some locales, is first mentioned in the First Century, B.C., by Vitruvius. He described a lifting platform of pused pulleys, capstones or windlasses which were operated by human, animal or water power. Steam power was applied to such devices in England by 1800. An American, Elisha Groves Otis, designed a safety device in 1853 which made the passenger elevator possible. Otis’ device was demonstrated at the Crystal Palace Exposition in New York in 1851. The first passenger elevator began service in the Haughwout Department Store in New York City in 1857. It was driven by steam power and climbed five stories in less than a minute. Express installations for the upper levels of the Empire State Building in 1931 reached 1,800 feet per minute. That was similar to the elevator’s rise at the John Hancock Center in Chicago in 1970. Situated in the Reliance Building at 1 W. Washington and State Street, Chicago, is the Burnham Hotel and Café Atwood. The eye takes in the red marble walls and terrazzo floors, the blooming white orchids, the art deco lamps and rugs, and the dark mahogany woods. The stunning elevators are a grand design of art deco beauty. These elevators almost look majestic with the filigreed grills and swirls and gilted-designs! The Reliance Building, designed by Charles B. Atwood of D.H. Burnham & Co., was completed in

1895. It was one of the world’s earliest skyscrapers rising an impressive 14 floors above State Street, a glass and terra cotta beauty built with a steel frame that seemed to defy gravity. The building was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1970, a City of Chicago landmark in 1975 and a State of Illinois landmark in 1979. The Hotel offers the guest a special pillow menu, a rest on Italian bed linens, and a complete non-smoking facility. Another elevator of note are the ones in the Eiffel Tower in Paris. There are custom built lifts that carry visitors to and from the first and second levels of the Eiffel Tower. The elevators are constructed to move upwards and downwards at two angels in order to match the angles of the Tower’s legs. There are elevators in all four legs of the tower. Three legs have elevators that carry ordinary visitors. The southern pillar elevator has a tiny private elevator that takes passengers directly to and from the fancy Jules Verne restaurant on the second level of the towers. There is a stairway to or from the first or second levels of the tower. The summit only can be reached by elevator however. A third elevator of note is governed by the National Park Service. Completed in 1965, the St. Louis Gateway Arch has attracted millions of visitors. It is on the west bank of the Mississippi River where the city was founded. The arch was designed by Finnish American architect Eero Saarinen and structural engineer Hannskarl Bandel in 1947. Construction began February 12, 1963 with a cost of $13 Million dollars to complete by 1965. That sum would be more than $90 Million in today’s dollars. The arch has two sets of stairs with 1,076 steps each. The elevators/trams are built on a diagonal angle up to the 633-foot height of the

arch. The ascent in the elevators is rapid within a confined space. When my daughter Suzanne and I visited there one Easter break, we took the tram. Big mistake. I felt I had been buried alive in a steel cage and thought the doors would never open. Had no idea it was such a closed space. I just thought of Psalm 64 which says “The hills are girded with joy, the meadows covered with flocks, the valleys are decked with wheat, They shout for joy, yes, they sing.” I imagined I was out in a meadow, full of open space and fresh air. The doors opened. I was safe.

Elevators can be helpful or offer a sense of Submitted photo claustrophobia.

Peace group will hold a small demonstration against war March 12 Fox Valley Citizens for Peace & Justice and Occupy Elgin together will hold a small demonstration against any military action against Iran Monday, March 12, 2012 at 5 p.m.. The group will gather on the public sidewalk in front of the new Walmart at Randall Road near Bowes Road in Elgin, 1100 South Randall Road, right near the city lines between Elgin and South Elgin. This Walmart is so new that it does not appear on Google Maps. It is on the West Side of Randall Road. The group will stand facing Randall Road. The group thinks that the supposed threat to the U.S. and even to Israel is wildly exaggerated and overblown. There are vivid memories of the stories about Iraq's Weapons of Mass Destruction that circulated in late 2002 and early 2003 to whip up the American people into support for a war of choice. These stories turned

ing. There will be four tickets drawn to determine the winners. The first two drawn will be invited to go and the second two will be alternates if someone is not able to go. Any member hired since 2005 wishing to enter the lottery must do so at the monthly membership meetings. You can receive a ticket for each meeting that you attend and you can earn another ticket for joining a committee and attending a committee function or something that the committee sponsors. This means you may earn at least four tickets for attending membership meetings and at least one other ticket for joining and participating on a committee. The tickets that you earn will give you a better opportunity to win a chance to go to an all-expenses paid week at the Region 4 Summer School at the Pat Greathouse Educa-

tion Center in Ottawa. Recreation Committee will meet March 14 The Recreation Committee will meet Wednesday, March 14 at 3:45 p.m.. Anyone interested in joining the Recreation Committee is welcome to attend. We will make plans for upcoming events. This could be another opportunity to earn another ticket toward the summer school drawing. Sweatshirts available We still have sweatshirts available at the hall. We have pullovers in many sizes, but the zip-ups are going fast, so hurry over to the hall and get one for yourself or your significant other. They are $32. for both styles. New hats have been ordered and we expect them in any day. We will notify you when they are in. In Solidarity

Saga continues with slowdown, warnings, in Fuel Systems By John Bogucki, president, and Jim Myer, bargaining chairman United Auto Workers Local 2096 Region 4 (A team report) Saga continues at Caterpillar Fuel Systems in Pontiac, along with the slowdown we have been experiencing. Fuel Systems management is back up to its old tricks!!! Handing out verbal and written warnings for being late, attendance, cell phone use and not showing up for overtime, just to mention a few. Most of these issues, members tried calling in to the call in system at Caterpillar using Y Time or they are first time offender. Lets take the cell phone usage, some areas they are asked for overtime by text, they ask you to text them on down machines. It seems like to me, that the company is singling out certain individuals. Everyone needs to be on the lookout, and if you are one of the unfortunate ones, ask for your steward. If you are going to miss or be late, you must bring in proper documentation and contact your supervisor. Slow down in Pontiac A little over a month ago Pontiac Fuel Systems was hiring and hired 16 new employees along with testing numerous others. Now a month later, the plant has a slowdown, they terminate three and tell nine others that their services are no longer needed. The majority of these folks had around six months to go before Caterpillar is required to hire them full-time. Our hearts go out to these members and their families. Remember, we all work for Caterpillar, Inc., the company that cares, cares about profits, and it seems like nothing else. Jim Myer and I did let them have an earful in final step last week and let them know how badly they handled it. Slamming them on Integrity, Honesty, Commitment and Compassion that it shows its work force, the very people who day in and day out manufacturing and assembling parts in a hostile environment so that Caterpillar can make record profits year in and year out. Tell Caterpillar that it needs to start practicing what it preaches. In solidarity, John Bogucki Right To Work Indiana governor Mitch Daniels signed into law Right-To-Work legislation February 1, to make Indiana the 23rd state to have this type of anti-union law. Outside the governor’s office and throughout the Indiana capital there were thousands of protestors who wanted their voices to be heard to stop this legislation from being signed into law. This did not happen. Right-To-Work is now the law of the land in Indiana!! What Is Right-To-Work? They always try and make anti-union legislation sound appealing. The words "right to work" by themselves sound great; after all we should all be able to have the right to work so as to provide the necessities of life as well as a few luxuries for our families. However, in the context of labor law right-to-work is and always will mean simply union busting. In right-to-work states, workers decide individually whether or not to join or support a union; however, the union is still required by law to represent these non-union employees (free riders). This in itself results in decreases in the union’s ability to negotiate contracts, decreases in wages, decreases in health and safety rules, and decreases in pensions, health benefits. According to the Economic Policy Institute wages in right-to-work states are 3.2% lower than in non right-to-work states. Per the government Bureau Of Labor Statistics office the rate of workplace deaths are 51% higher in right-to-work states. The so-called free riders in these states want all the union has to offer, but want no part of being in the

union or paying dues. This in itself results in lower morale, increased employee relations problems, increased employee to employee problems and extra stress-related issues pertaining to our workplaces. Why Right-To-Work? Simply put, there are powerful people in this country who are driven by power and greed and for the needs of their own agendas they want to silence us as a union. They are astute enough to realize they cannot beat us when we are unified. That is why they have purchased their influence in the State Assembly Houses, the halls of Congress, and yes, in some instances, the U.S. presidency. Divided We Fall, United We Stand. By: Denny Drnjevic, UAW Local 2488 Retiree & Downstate CAP Council vice-chairman April and May membership meetings By membership action the April and May membership meetings have been moved back one week. The April membership meeting was moved to April 15 because of Easter Sunday and the May membership meeting has been moved to May 20 because of Mother’s Day. Again, we apologize for any inconvenience. State and Federal Elections With the Elections right around the corner, we hope everyone is registered and registration is current. Voting is very important. The Bread Box is directly related to the Ballot Box!! We are seeing prices at the gas pumps and other consumer goods increasing. We need to remember how important it is to get involved with the political process. I know that many get tired of us preaching about politics, but your lunch box is and always will be tied to the ballot box. Benefits If you have any questions please call the hall at 815-842-3289, please don’t call other UAW locals, they have their own problem. I know we are only part-time, but we try to do the best we can. Absent or AWOL We are still having problems with some members being AWOL. The following is what you have to do in order not to get caught up in an AWOL situation. You have to call in and have approval to be absent from work. AWOL is when an employee is absent from work for more than three consecutive days without proper notice and approval. You will be considered absent without leave and subject to termination of employment. Employees’ responsibilities: • To call into the absent hotline; • Notify their supervisor or the medical department to obtain approval for any absences of more then three or more consecutive days. It’s important to follow these guidelines. If you need a doctor’s excuse, make sure it says that you are unable to work because of illness or injury, with the proper dates on it. Union representation If for any reason you are called to a meeting with your supervisor, superintendent, or H.R. representative ask for union representation!!! This goes for sup-

plemental employees as well. If you are denied union representation, contact the Union Hall A.S.A.P. at 815-842-3289, and give us your details. Thanks. Contact the Union Hall If you are on Medical, Worker’s Compensation, Family Leave, Military Duty, or if you have recently retired or separated, please contact the due’s office with this information. This will be of great assistance to the Local in order to keep our records accurate and current. It will help keep records for you if needed. With that, if you are sick, you need to contact your supervisor, not just using the call in system at Caterpillar, Inc.. It takes notification and approval. Hall hours We will not always be able to man the Union Hall five days per week. In an effort to insure someone is at the hall for first shift we will be manning the hall before first shift each Wednesday and after first shift each Monday. We will try to post the hours in The Voice every week. If no one is at the Union Hall, please leave a message. We will be checking messages continuously. We are sorry for any inconvenience. Thank you! • Monday, March 12, Larry Stine, 6:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.. • Tuesday, March 13, John Bogucki, 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.. • Wednesday, March 14, Jim Myer, 6:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.. • Thursday, March 15, John Bogucki, 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.. • Friday, March 16, leave a message. • Weekends, leave a message. • Monday, March 19, Larry Stine, 6:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.. • Tuesday, March 20, leave a message. • Wednesday, March 21, Jim Myer, 6:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.. • Thursday, March 22, John Bogucki, 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.. • Friday, March 23, leave a message. • Weekends, leave a message. We will be in and out to check on messages. Again, we apologize for any inconvenience. Condolences We would like to apologize when we miss recognizing the loss of a loved one. If you know of someone, please let us know so we can get it in The Voice. Sympathy goes out to Kevin Kennedy and his family on the loss of his grandmother.

Trade meat for vegetables, reduce carbon: Study Kathy Freston, is a New York Times best-selling author who has written many books and articles on conscious eating and healthy living. She uses a body-mind-spirit approach to health and happiness that includes a concentration on a healthy diet, emotional introspection, spiritual practice, and loving relationships. Because of the increasingly busy world we live in she focuses on providing guidance for conscious and healthy living, and stresses the value of leaning into change by progressing, rather than expecting perfection. Her latest book: “The Lean: A Revolutionary (and Simple!) 30-Day Plan for Healthy, Lasting Weight Loss” has introductions by Dr. Mehmet Oz and Dr. Dean Ornish. Her work has received accolades from respected names such as Dr. Andrew Weil, Dr. Neal Barnard, Marianne Williamson and Dr. Deepak Chopra. She has made appearances on The Oprah Winfrey Show, Ellen, The Dr. O Show, The View, Good Morning America, Charlie Rose, The Martha Stewart Show, and Extra. She is a regular contributor to the Huffington Post. In O Magazine, Oprah Winfrey wrote, “Kathy Freston struck a nerve for me by speaking of a higher level of awareness, what she calls “spiritual integrity”… Freston cautions that the way to full consciousness isn’t to give up every poor choice at once. She says, Lean into it. Don’t try to break a lifetime of bad habits overnight. I’m leaning.” Freston's wrote in her provocatively entitled article, "Vegetarian is the New Prius," “In the wake of a seminal report published in 2007 by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations. Entitled ‘Livestock's Long Shadow,’ the report states that meat production is the second or third largest contributor to environmental problems at every level and at every scale, from global to local. It is a primary culprit in land degradation, air pollution, water shortage, water pollution, species extinction, loss of biodiversity and climate change.” Henning Steinfeld, a senior author of the report, stated, "Livestock are one of the most significant contributors to today's most serious environmental problems. Urgent action is needed to remedy the situation. “Comparing eating little or no animal products with driving a Prius, and likewise comparing eating meat with driving a Hummer, may seem farfetched. But this comparison, as striking as it is, actually understates the amount of greenhouse gases that stem from meat production. In 2006, a University of Chicago study found that a vegan diet is far more effective than driving a hybrid car in reducing our carbon footprint. The scientists who did the calculations said that a Prius driver who consumes a meat-based diet actually contributes more to global warming than a Hummer driver who eats low on the food chain,” Steinfeld wrote. In 2009 Ezra Klein wrote in The Washington Post: "The evidence is strong. It's not simply that

meat is a contributor to global warming; it's that it is a huge contributor. Larger, by a significant margin, than the global transportation sector. "One of the reasons is methane. Some people find it difficult to take cow burps and flatulence seriously, but livestock emissions are no joke. Methane comes from both ends of the cow, and in such enormous quantities that scientists increasingly view it as one of the greatest threats to our earth's climate. And there's more. The United Nations' FAO report states that livestock production generates fully 65% of the nitrous oxide (another extremely potent greenhouse gas) produced by human activities. The FAO concludes that overall, livestock production is responsible for 18% of greenhouse gas emissions, a bigger share than all the SUVs, cars, trucks, buses, trains, ships and planes in the world combined.” A 2009 article published in Scientific American reported "producing beef for the table has a surprising environmental cost: it releases prodigious amounts of heat-trapping greenhouse gases." The greenhouse gas emissions from producing a pound of beef, the study found, are 58 times greater than those from

producing a pound of potatoes. Some people thought the Live Earth concert handbook was exaggerating when it stated that, "Refusing meat is the single most effective thing you can do to reduce your carbon footprint," but it wasn't. This is literally true. Even Environmental Defense, a group hardly known for taking radical stands, calculates that if every-meateater in the U.S. swapped just one meal of chicken per week for a vegetarian meal, the carbon savings would be equivalent to taking half a million cars off the road. Not surprisingly, the U.S. meat industry has claimed that livestock production isn't to blame for global warming, and has tried to persuade the public, opinion leaders, and government officials that the FAO indictment of meat is overstated. The prestigious Worldwatch Institute published a landmark report in 2009 that made the FAO report seem ultra-conservative in comparison. This thoughtful and meticulously thorough study, written by World Bank agricultural scientists Robert Goodland, who spent 23 years as the Bank's lead environmental advisor, and Jeff Anhang, an environmental specialist for the Bank, came to the staggering conclusion that animals raised for food actually account for more than half of all human-caused greenhouse gases. Eating plants instead of animals, the authors conclude, would be by far the most effective strategy to reverse climate change, because it "would have far more rapid effects on greenhouse gas emissions and their atmospheric concentrations, and thus on the rate the climate is warming, than actions to replace fossil fuels with renewable energy."

Ask Grandpa:

Sisters’ complaints: Treatment by parents Readers, Here is a new one on Grandpa. I got these two letters in the same envelope from two sisters. I’ll let you read `em both and you decide what the answer is. Grandpa, My older sister gets away with everything. Our parents let her go out later than me, she gets to have bigger parties than me, and she gets to go out and baby sit to earn money. It isn’t fair. Grandpa, My baby sister is spoiled rotten. She is a little princess in my parents’ eyes. She gets driven to school, has her silly friends over for sleep-overs, and always gets to go with my parents everywhere. It isn’t fair. Grandpa says: Fair isn’t giving everyone the same thing. Fair is giving everyone what they need. Grandpa, My wife and I are at odds about what colors to paint our living room and bedroom. We get to fighting about it every time the subject comes up. Doesn’t the Bible say that a wife is to obey her husband? Grandpa says: You are not fighting about a color scheme any more than I am still young and good looking. And read your scriptures for what they say, not what you want them to say. Sure, Paul told the women to submit themselves to their husbands, but he also told the husbands to love their wives. Submit is different than cower. Sounds to me like neither

one of you has the spirit of compromise. If you both throw away your own plans and walk hand in hand into a home improvement store and look at ideas, you will see there are things that please both of you. This isn’t a contest to prove who has the most control. It is a contest to see who can be the most loving and mature. I bid you peace. Grandpa, My five-year-old picked up a candy bar in the grocery store the other day. I found out about it after we left the store and took her back inside and had her apologize to the service desk employee. I told her she was wrong to take it with out paying for it. Now my sister is telling me that I handled it all wrong. How would you have handled it? Grandpa says: Almost exactly like you did. I would not have told her that she was wrong, I would have said the behavior was the wrong one, and she still would have had to apologize and pay for it. Don’t be too hard on your sister. She can’t be expected to be perfect, either. Raising children is not an exact science. You do what you know is morally right, try to instill a sense of self-respect into your children and give them yourself as a role model. The rest is a crap shoot. God bless you for caring enough about your child to be concerned. Got something stuck in your craw? Ask Grandpa. Address your letters to Ask Grandpa c/o The Voice, 314 N. Lake Street, Suite 2, Aurora, IL 60506 or send an E-mail to askgrandpa@ thevoice.us.

USPS consolidation battle continues; Congress pivotal The United States Postal Service’s announcement February 23 that it has approved 223 mail processing plants for consolidation [PDF] leaves union members just one option, APWU president Cliff Guffey said: “We must continue the fight!” The numbers: Total Mail Processing Facilities 461 Studied for Consolidation 264 Approved for Consolidation 223 Still Being Studied 6 Consolidation Disapproved 35 “That means getting Congress to act now to Save America’s Postal Service,” Guffey said. In stand-up talks with employees February 22, managers emphasized that consolidations would not take place until after May 15, when a sixmonth moratorium on consolidations expires. The moratorium was intended to give Congress “the opportunity to enact an alternate plan,” postal officials pointed out. “The Postal Service has sent a clear message,” Guffey said. “If Congress does not take action before the moratorium expires, management intends to dismantle the mail processing network. “APWU members must reach out to their senators and representatives now and urge them to support legislation that will correct the underlying cause of the USPS financial crisis without slashing service, eliminating jobs, and destroying the network of plants and post offices that keeps the mail moving,” he said. “This is a congressionally-manu-

factured crisis caused by mandates in the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act of 2006,” Guffey said. “It has taken just six years for that terrible law to bring the Postal Service to the edge of extinction.” Guffey asked every postal employee to join the struggle. “The folks that got good news should keep up the fight, too,” the union president said, “because the Postal Service was clear: 35 consolidations were disapproved at this time.” Why service standards are crucial: Management pointed out that the consolidations only can be implemented if service standards are revised. The APWU, along with a committed group of senators, has been working to prevent changes to service standards, by seeking support for amendments to the 21st Century Postal Service Act (S. 1789), which is expected to come up for a vote in the Senate soon. “It is critical that APWU members ask their senators to support the amendments,” Guffey said. In its current form, S. 1789 fails to adequately address the cause of the Postal Service’s financial difficulties. “The amendments offered by the 27 senators would prevent the closures of hundreds of mail processing plants and thousands of post offices, halt the elimination of tens of thousands of jobs, and stop drastic reductions in service to the American people,” Guffey said. “We must urge Congress to act now.” —American Postal Workers Union

Aurora Wildly Important Goals? New train of thought With the closing of Downer Place in downtown Aurora and the re-routing of traffic to Benton Street in order to replace the bridges, I am reminded of a program instituted by mayor Thomas Weisner in his first term in office. He called it “Wildly Important Goals” (WIGs) for the improvement of civic life in Aurora, and he claimed to have met them. I am reminded of a special feature The BeaconNews ran daily during the 1950s, a short wish list which appeared on the paper’s masthead recommending important actions the city should take to improve civic life. The only one I can recall with any clarity was the merger of two school districts in Aurora so that greater efficiency in the education of the city’s youth could be achieved. Obviously, that never has happened, but the why of it is not relevant in the present context. The point is that, occasionally, someone takes the time to take stock of the city’s contemporary condition and sets down a few ideas for improvement. Without further ado, I hereby present my own Wildly Important Goals. • First, eliminate all of the one-way streets in Aurora. They were a bad idea when they were first proposed, and they are still a bad idea. The original reason for them was to facilitate the flow of traffic through the business district, but all that has been accomplished is to speed up traffic and create several generations of Indianapolis 500 wannabes. The idea may work where streets are wide, as in St. Louis, but that isn’t the case in Aurora. The closing of a street downtown for whatever reason sends traffic inconveniently out of the way, hardly a method for facilitation. Returning to two-way streets will slow down traffic, reduce potential detours to manageable proportions, and contribute some civility among motorists. • Second, eliminate all on-street parking in the

business district. From Lake Street to Lincoln Avenue, from New York Street to Benton Street, parking should be prohibited in order to facilitate the flow of traffic. What we have in downtown Aurora is 21stCentury traffic on 19th-Century streets. Twentyfirst-century vehicles are much larger than 19th-century vehicles, such as horse-and-buggies, and a line of parked vehicles on both sides of the street shrinks the amount of space for safe passage of moving vehicles. Removing the parking to designated parking lots opens up the streets and avoids stressful conditions. • Third, opt out of PACE and operate an independent bus system. It distresses me, and probably many others, to know that PACE believes it has to make a profit and therefore raises, or threatens to raise, fares and/or cuts routes/hours of service even while it takes subsidies from the state government, or, from us taxpayers. I remember when the city operated its own bus system; I used it frequently. The fares were reasonable because the profit motive was absent; there were twice as many routes as PACE maintains; and the hours of service were much longer, and no one had to be stranded in a far-fromhome place after working/shopping/relaxing in the evening. Aurora has been growing by leaps and bounds, and it needs a mass-transit system which can accommodate the increased needs of the citizenry, not one which cuts services willy-nilly. • Fourth (this is my favorite WIG!), secure an

Curly Joe cute and spunky all day Cute, spunky, and lots of fun to have around Curly Joe will make you smile all day long! This two-year-old, 20-pound, Jack Russell terrier-rat terrier mix seems to have springs on his feet. He gets so excited, he jumps straight up in the air. He has a great time playing chase with other dogs, big and small, but he loves spending time with his favorite humans most of all. Energetic and entertaining, Curly Joe is sure to bring a sparkle to your life. He would make a wonderful jogging partner or a great agility dog. At the end of a long, tiring day, he often snuggles up with both people and other

dogs. Because cats don’t appreciate Curly Joe’s treating them like interactive toys, though, he’d be best in a house without felines. He would blossom in a home where his rewards-based training is continued. Give Rover Rescue a call at 630-897-7454 to meet this adorable dog! Crate-trained, housebroken, neutered and current on his shots, his adoption fee is $175.. Don’t miss the most fun-loving guy around. Make Curly Joe a wonderful new part of your life now! Rover Rescue is an all-volunteer dog rescue group.

AmTrak station for Aurora. We live in the second largest city in the state, and we deserve to be served by AmTrak. Cities smaller than Aurora, for example, Naperville, have stations, so why don’t we? The ideal place for one is the old and empty depot on South Broadway. The city could sell/lease the property to the Federal Department of Transportation, and the Feds could remodel the building and grounds to suit themselves. The owner of the property along the east bank of the Fox River from Benton Street to North Avenue wants to build a convention center/ hotel/restaurant and some condominiums in that area. Out-of-towners seeking to use those facilities will therefore need reliable transportation to gain access to them. With an AmTrak station right next door to their destination, they’ll have it. The city would benefit from the extra revenue. With the above changes, Aurora once more could be the economic and cultural hub it used to be in the late 19th- and early 20th-Centuries. All it takes is a little imagination. Just a thought.

Next logical step, technology for Aurora Public Library Last week in this space, I wrote about some of the technology experts who are on staff at the Aurora Public Library. This week, I want to introduce something that some of these experts have been working toward for several months and are excited to roll out to the public soon. Come May, the Aurora Public Library will begin circulating preloaded E-readers. That’s right. Patrons will be able to check out E-readers with their Aurora Public Library card! I don’t use exclamation points often in my writing, but that sentence deserved one. Following is a short Q and A on some questions that may immediately come to mind: What is an E-reader? An E-reader is an electronic device designed for reading digital books. Each one can hold a vast number of E-books, electronic books. They are wireless and portable. Why will Aurora Public Library be circulating E-readers? The library will be making E-readers available to Aurora Public Library cardholders to give patrons a chance to try E-readers and to provide electronic access to popular and educational titles. Which E-readers will Aurora Public Library have? The library will be circulating Color Nooks and Simple Touch Nooks provided by the Barnes & Noble in Geneva. There will be a total of 60 units to start and by the end of 2013 the library will have approximately 100. Who can borrow an E-reader? Aurora residents with current Aurora Public Library cards who are 18 years of age or older may borrow an E-reader. Do I have to download books myself? The E-readers will be preloaded with titles in a variety of genres, including popular bestsellers, fiction and nonfiction, mysteries, romances, Spanish, young adult and children’s. Titles will be added regularly. Will I be charged to borrow an E-reader, or if I return it late or damaged? As with other library items, there is no charge to borrow an E-reader, but fees will be charged for late, damaged, or lost E-readers. How long will I be able to keep the E-reader?

Vooice

Amy Roth

Circulation is two weeks with no renewal. Will I be able to reserve an E-reader? Yes, you will be able to reserve an E-reader through our library catalog. Simply search for Ereader or Nook in the catalog and place a hold on the E-reader that you would like to borrow. Where can I get help using E-readers? You will receive a brief set of instructions when you check out the E-reader. Staff members will be

happy to help you at any reference desk. Although we are anticipating the roll-out of this new service, we hope we can help you with any questions you may have about your own E-reader or one you are thinking of purchasing. Drop-in E-reader help is scheduled on a regular basis for those who have E-readers and need guidance in using them, or those who are contemplating a purchase. Of course, one can ask for help in person at the library, or on our website. Just click on Chat with us on the homepage during open hours. Drop-in E-reader help is set for 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, March 10 at the Eola Road Branch; 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Saturday, March 10 at the Main Library; and 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Thursday, March 22 at the West Branch.

Law Enforcement Polar Plunge for Special Olympics Illinois land will have their inagural plunge March 24. The post plunge party consisted of a hot lunch to help thaw out the participants. Past plunges were in Bloomington, Carbondale, Carlyle, Evanston, Mahomet/Champaign, Quincy, Fox Lake, Rend Lake, Springfield, Decatur, Effingham, Lake Bluff, Manteno, Rockford, Galesburg, and Palatine. This year, the Aurora Police Department team decided to take the plunge in Yorkville instead of Lake Bluff which it did last year. According to Aurora Police Sergeant Doug Podschweit, "It's right on Lake Michigan, so you never know what you're going to get with the weather." Podsch-

weit said last year there were 5-foot white caps, 30 mile an hour winds, and it was very cold. According to Podschweit, Loon Lake in Yorkville has smooth water and they plunged twice. Their team, Cops and Convicts took the plunge in Lake Bluff last year but decided to head west this year to Yorkville. Individual participants must raise a minimum of $75 to participate. Individual grand prizes for participants who raise more than $500 are entered into a drawing for seven-night trip for two to Riu Negril in Negril, Jamaica and a Cuisinart Single Serve Brewing System.

from page 1

There are two team divisions based on numbers. Prizes in the 5-15 participant division include a White Sox suite for 14 people, a Chicago Wolves group ticket package, and a Thermos Stainless Steel Briefcase Bottle team package. The teams with 16 or more compete for prizes which include a Chicago Cubs rooftop package for 20, a Buffalo Wild Wings team party ($500 Gift Card), and a Thermos Stainless Steel Briefcase Bottle team package. Special Olympics Illinois area director Cheryl DePaepe thanked all the volunteers and supporters for their continued support. "From the bottom of our hearts, I

want to thank everybody for coming out today. For having a great time and the support of all of our Special Olympic athletes in the state of Illinois.

Parker’s Children’s Theater: See performing arts Remember the first time you saw a live performance? Whether it is a stage show, a short skit or a band concert, to watch it happen before your eyes was a thrilling experience. There’s just nothing else quite like it. Even after seeing hundreds of performances, it’s special each time.

Kyle Donahue certainly would agree. As performing arts supervisor for the Fox Valley Park District, he’s devoted his career to the business (and production) of show, and he wants to share the joy which, for him, has lasted a lifetime. So Donahue is unveiling Parker’s

Children’s Theater as an exciting new way to introduce young audiences to the world of theater and performing arts. Aimed at students from preschool to sixth grade, the program invites schools and community groups for private showings performed by a professional theater company. For starters, the theater company, a cast of four professional actors and actresses, is performing “The Three Little Pigs,” a fun, interactive version of the classic tale in a musical format. “For some children, it may be the first time they see a show, so this version is very friendly with colorful characters,” said Donahue. “The pigs teach the angry wolf that the reason he has no friends is because of his temper, so it’s a great show to illustrate tolerance, friendship, and family.” But it’s more than just a show. Parker, the Fox Valley Park District mascot, invites all children ages preschool to sixth grade to learn about performing arts at the soon-to-be-introduced Parker’s Children’s Theater.

Prior to each performance, the performers will sit down with the audience and explain some of the innerworkings they go through to create a stage production while offering advice on proper protocol and etiquette when watching a show and interacting with stage members. Donahue, who previously toured as part of a travelling theater company, is starting small. In addition to school and church groups, Parker’s Children’s Theater will perform at a variety of Park District camps in the Summer. Eventually, he plans to expand the offering to include middle schools and travel throughout the area. “But for right now, we’ll get started at the Prisco Community Center, which is a great facility for performing arts,” Donahue said. Each season will switch to a new show with a cast of performers, “ready to go at a minute’s notice,” said Donahue. Oh, and we should mention that Parker, the Fox Valley Park District’s mascot, will be the greeter at each theater event. I’m guessing Parker will get along fine with the big bad wolf who, in this case, is a vegetarian anyway. They’ll make fine friends and, best of all, the kids will get to witness an up-close theater experience. Jeff Long is the public relations manager for the Fox Valley Park District.

West Aurora, Aurora Central Catholic, Elgin, Plainfield East, and Kaneland were just a few of the regional tournament champions last week in Class 3A and Class 4A. Aurora Central defeated host Yorkville in a Class 3A game, but Wednesday, in a semifinal game, Aurora Central used the axiom that it is difficult to defeat a good team three times. Aurora Central had lost the two earlier games this season to rival Marmion. Aurora Central at Sandwich and won a second consecutive regional tournament championship. Aurora Central, on the verge of defeat against Yorkville, pulled out victory when Joey McEachern scored with one second remaining in regulation with a baseline jump shot to overcome a 50-49 deficit. West Aurora not only defeated Oswego, 73-56, in the Oswego regional championship, the Blackhawks followed up with an overtime thriller over Plainfield East and a 58-53 victory in an East Aurora Sectional semifinal game.

West Aurora, which captured its first regional championship in five seasons, used its longstanding defense to defeat Oswego. “We did not want them to penetrate to the basket,” second-year and sophomore guard Jontrel Walker said. He and Jayquan Lee each scored 15 points and worked to blunt the Oswego guards. “They took us out of our comfort zone,” Oswego head coach Kevin Schnable said. “It was great having Gordy (Kerkman, West Aurora coach) in the house, except for the score. We have to get stronger in the middle. “The only disappointment is that we have had injuries this season. At the end we won nine of 10 games, but, West Aurora just beat us.” Juwan Starks, West Aurora’s 6-3 forward, scored 13 points against Oswego and was a strong rebounder and leader.

Huskies break recent mold; survive MAC first round By Woodrow Carroll Northern Illinois University, having recorded a big comeback in defeating Toledo, 65-61, three nights earlier, went to Ball State last Saturday in search of its first men’s basketball road victory this season. Ahead by 12 points early in the second half, the Huskies let Ball State off the hook and lost, 62-51. The game with Toledo Wednesday of last week ended the Huskie home schedule. The trip to Muncie, Ind. to play Ball State concluded the regular season last Saturday. The Huskies exorcised two demons at the same time Monday of this week with a 55-52 victory over host Eastern Michigan in the opening round of the Mid-American Conference Tournament. The Huskies were the last, or No. 12 seeded team, and beat No. 5 Eastern Michigan in Ypsilanti, Mich.. The road victory was the first

of the season for Northern Illinois. At the same time it ended a nine-game MAC Tournament losing streak going back to 2003. The Huskies, 5-25 overall, ended 3-13 in MAC regular season. They earned a second-round game in Cleveland as a part of the top eight teams. They earned a Wednesday berth this week against Western Michigan, which went on the road as the No. 9 seeded team and beat No. 8 Ball State, 69-63, in Muncie, Ind. Monday. Troy Nixon and Aksel Bolen led Northern Illinois in scoring with 14 and 13 points, respectively. Toledo, which had trounced NIU, 71-41, when the two sides squared off in Toledo back in January, looked to be well on its way to a season sweep last week when the two teams faced each other at NIU’s Convocation Center in DeKalb.

Freshman Abdel Nader led Northern Illinois in scoring with 12 points. Bolen scored 10 points. Good defense and reserve strength produced 32 points for the Huskies to 17 for Toledo reserves and was the difference. The game with Ball State mirrored

They All Get Giddy on a Monday Night DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — The no-frills Daytona 500 got off to a colorful start on Monday night, mainly because the dude with his hands on the plunger set off the fireworks early. On the start, Matt Kenseth bump-drafted Greg Biffle while everyone else played nice ... for slightly more than a lap. The bump draft worked out nicely. Behind the streaking Fords at the front caromed the five-time champion, the previous winner, the banished bad boy and ... The Danica. Contact between Elliott Sadler’s plebeian Chevy and Jimmie Johnson’s royal one touched off the bottle rockets. The last time a driver began a championship season with a 500 victory was Johnson in 2006. Since then he has finished no better than 27th. Next up for the winner of five of the past six titles: He and crew chief Chad Knaus try to duck the book being hurled at them by the always arbitrary NASCAR judiciary. “I’m really bummed out,” said Johnson, and he wasn’t insincere. He said he had some “help” from behind,

Rain apparently isn’t calming when it’s the Daytona 500 and first place is worth $1.5 million or so. Eleven laps later Ryan Newman went spinning down the back straight, but he had a signed excuse because a tire went flat. Then there’s Danica Patrick, who, as usual, got more attention than Tony Stew-

It will undoubtedly get better, in large measure because it is impossible for it not to. It seemed like yesterday when Trevor Bayne won the race, but this time Bayne barely made it a lap.

Nader led the Huskies in scoring with 16 points. Reserves Tyler Storm and DeMarcus Grady, a redshirt football player, are the only seniors on the squad. Northern Illinois could return a veteran squad next season. In recent outings, the Huskies have shown improvement, such as the MAC Tournament, but clearly there is a long way to go to have a winning record.

record and placed second in the Upstate Eight Conference Valley Division behind Metea Valley. Waubonsie Valley opened the season by winning five straight games and capturing the Palatine Ed Molitor Thanksgiving Classic Tournament championship, where Brownridge was named the MVP. But the Warriors struggled finding a regular scorer to complement Brownridge's electric game. "We needed a second or third consistent scorer," Weemer said. "We struggled getting that second or third scorer in games. But overall, it was a fun group to be around and they worked really hard." The Warriors lost four seniors from last year's team, including stalwarts in Brandon Malby and Demitrius Gray. Both players were an integral part of the program for four years, providing intangibles not seen in a box score. "I'm disappointed for the four seniors that we bowed out so early (in a regional semifinal),” Weemer said. "Brandon worked so hard and maximized his ability." The Warriors will return nearly 90% of their scoring from this year's team, including Brownridge. The 6-foot-1 Brownridge has the ability to take over games with his athleticism and shooting. Weemer expects Brownridge to become a more complete player next year. "He leads by example and he has to continue to develop into a leader more, a vocal leader," he said. "Jared has to increase his shooting range and get stronger. He's going to be at the forefront of everyone's scouting report next year." The Warriors' season came to an abrupt end when they lost to Hinsdale Central, 66-55, in the Class 4A Downers Grove South Regional Tournament semifinals last week. Weemer hopes that the early loss serves as a reminder to his returning players of the importance of getting better in the off-season. "Hopefully, the guys have that bad taste in their mouths and work hard," he said. "It was a disappointing end, but I hope the kids realize how much work they need to put in now to get to the next level."

ville North. The No. 12-seeded Panthers got 17 points from junior Miles Simelton and 12 points from junior Elliott McGaughy to pull out a 65-53 victory last week. "The roles were reversed this year and it was a great feeling to knock them out," said Oswego coach Kevin Schnable. "We played a great game and the right way by doing it with defense. The DVC is no slouch. That was a good program win for us." Although West Aurora ended Oswego's season in the regional finals last Friday, Schnable said the 73-56 loss helped the Panthers realize that more work is needed for next year. "I felt Friday night's game was a bit much for us in terms of challenging our emotional maturity," he said. "We need to get better defensively and rebounding. We've got a good thing going, but we need to shore up our defense to get to the next level." The Panthers finished the season by winning nine of their last 11 games for an 18-11 overall record and 9-5 record in the Southwest Prairie Conference. Schnable admitted that Oswego's program has endured a good run. "We matched our win total from last year," he said. "That's two straight years of 18 wins, so that's a respectable number. The last five years our win total is 101, which is an average of 20 wins per year. That puts us in pretty good company. We got hot at the right time of the season, but West Aurora's a really good team." The Panthers lose five seniors from the 20112012 squad, including Ryan West. The senior class played a key part in adding to Oswego's growing history, learning the ropes in watching the Panthers lose to Peoria Richwoods in a Class 3A supersectional in 2010. In 2009 Oswego finished in second place in the 3A state tournament after losing, 61-59, in the state championship game to Champaign Centennial.

Alternative Medicine Ends Dog’s Torment DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I read with interest your column about the poor dog that was tormented by allergies. Several years ago I adopted a wonderful Border Collie, “Maisie,” from a couple who couldn’t cope with her constant allergies. Blood tests showed she was allergic to tree pollens, weeds and grasses. It broke my heart to see her suffer, and I took her to many veterinarians. She received allergy shots for more than a year, and many times she was given prednisone, which I didn’t like but hoped would help her. One day a new veterinarian recommended a doctor of Chinese medicine nearby. I brought Maisie in and was told almost immediately, “Yes! I can help her. We need to build her immune system.” Within a very short time she was 100 percent better. She lived happily until she was almost 17 years old.

I was fortunate to find a veterinarian who was open to alternative treatments. More vets should consider alternative medicine as a way to help pets. — An Animal Lover in Littleton, Colo. DEAR ANIMAL LOVER: Thank you for your letter! I’m glad that you were able to alleviate Maisie’s suffering and find an effective treatment for her chronic allergies. Every pet’s needs and responses to treatments are a bit different — especially when using alternative, homeopathic or holistic therapies — and it can be difficult to find the right combination of medication or therapy. I’m impressed by the amount of patience, love and diligence you showed in caring for your dog and getting her the best care possible.

I have a complete set of Guardian aluminum cookware from Century Metalcraft Corporation. It is from the 1950s, and the conditions of the various pieces vary. I even have a recipe book that came with the set and a box of cleaning supplies provided by the company. Any information will be appreciated. — Carolin, Stratton, Colo. Guardian cookware was manufactured in Los Angeles from the mid-1930s until the plant was destroyed by fire in about 1956. The product was sold mostly at house parties, much like Avon is marketed today. The pieces were constructed of hammered aluminum with glass tops. The durability was one of the main selling points. Since glass lids got broken and lost, they are especially coveted by collectors. Typical prices found on the Internet include a turkey roaster, $75; 1-quart casserole, $18; and 2.5-quart Dutch oven, $22. *** I have a set of three Badger Fire Extinguishers, one fullsize copper, one full-size brass and one junior-size in copper. All three are museum quality. My concern is value. — Gerald, Haverhill, Mass. The Badger Fire Extinguisher Company has been in business for more than a century and still manufactures firefighting equipment at its plant in

Sommerville, Mass. Older extinguishers — especially the ones crafted in copper and brass —- have become quite collectible. Some are being made into lamps and others as just interesting examples of American craftsmanship. I found five vintage Badger extinguishers being offered for sale on eBay, all valued in the $50 to $200 range. Since the ones you have are museum quality, I suspect they are worth in the upper end of that range, perhaps more. *** I have two picture frames that have fancy scroll-cut designs. I have had them for years and am curious about any value. — Dorothy, Coventry, R.I. The frames you have could be quite old. I suggest you contact an appraiser or reputable dealer to help you determine how much they might be worth. Several weeks ago I attended an estate auction where several dozen vintage frames were sold, mostly in the $50 to $75 range. As with most collectibles, there are always exceptions, and that is why I recommend the services of an expert. Write to Larry Cox in care of King Features Weekly Service, P.O.

Vet Centers Going Mobile Have you checked out the Vet Center near you? These Department of Veterans Affairs Centers provide dozens of health services, perhaps more than you’d expect. The Vet Centers were started in 1979 as a response to the need to help Vietnam-era veterans adjust to civilian life. Since then the eligibility for assistance has been expanded to include other eras of hostility. Since 2003, the services include bereavement help for spouses, parents and siblings of veterans who died on active duty, as well as substance-abuse assessment and referral, job assessment and referral, brain injury screening, benefits help and more. The Centers, 207 of them across the country, had more than a million visits last year. In addition to the Centers themselves, the VA has had 50 mobile vans going to areas that don’t have easy access to the regional medical centers. These fully outfitted recreational vehicles, with spaces divided into

March 8, 2012

private rooms, head out to rural areas for on-the-spot counseling, information and referral for military sexual trauma, marriage and family counseling, bereavement counseling and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. In the event of a natural disaster, these vans also can serve as support centers. They have phone lines, computers, WiFi and DVD, satellite dish, fridge, first aid, a defibrillator and more. And now there are an additional 20 vans out on the road to serve rural areas. To read the list of locations for the new vans, go to the VA’s website and put “new mobile vet centers” in the search box. To find the Vet Center nearest you, go online to www.va.gov and put “find Vet Center” in the search box, or call 800-827-1000. If you go to a Stand Down this year, you’ll likely see those vans in place. Write to Freddy Groves in care of King Features Weekly Service, P.O.

A Focus on The History of Labor March 8 through March 14 March 08 Thousands of New York needle trades workers demonstrate for higher wages, shorter workday, and end to child labor. The demonstration became the basis for International Women’s Day - 1908. New York members of the Fur and Leather Workers Union, many of them women, strike. They persevere despite beatings by police, and win a 10% wage increase and five-day work week - 1926. The Norris-LaGuardia Anti-Injunction Act takes effect on this day. It limits the ability of federal judges to issue injunctions against workers and unions involved in labor disputes - 1932. March 09 The Westmoreland County (Pa.) Coal Strike – known as the “Slovak strike” because some 70% of the 15,000 strikers were Slovakian immigrants – begins on this date and continues for nearly 16 months before ending in defeat. Sixteen miners and family members were killed during the strike - 1912. Work begins on the $8 Billion, 800-mile-long Alaska Oil pipeline connecting oil fields in northern Alaska to the sea port at Valdez. Tens of thousands of people worked on the pipeline, enduring long hours, cold temperatures, and brutal conditions. At least 32 died on the job - 1974. March 10 U.S. Supreme Court upholds espionage conviction of labor leader and socialist Eugene V. Debs. Debs was jailed for speaking out against World War I. Campaigning for president from his Atlanta jail cell, he won six percent of the vote - 1919. New York City bus drivers, members of the Transport Workers Union, go on strike. After 12 days of no buses – and a large show of force by Irish-American strikers at the St. Patrick’s Day parade – mayor Fiorello La Guardia orders arbitration - 1941.

Roger Jacobson, left, wrote Aurora Lived A Dream when he was a teacher in West Aurora School District 129. A quartet sang the song during a celebration of Aurora’s 175th anniversary program at the Aurora Post Office Friday, March 2. Following the program he chats with School District Board president Neal Ormond III. The song was performed during Aurora’s 150th anniversary. Jacobson, who lives in Batavia, was a teacher at Nancy Hill, Hall, and McCleery, and retired in 1994 after 37 years in the district.

legislation. He explains: “Current law makes it illegal to enter or remain in an area where certain government officials (more particularly, those with Secret Service protection) will be visiting temporarily if and only if the person knows it’s illegal to enter the restricted area but does so anyway. The bill expands current law to make it a crime to enter or remain in an area where an official is visiting even if the person does not know it’s illegal to be in that area and has no reason to suspect it’s illegal. Some government officials may need extraordinary protection to ensure their safety. But criminalizing legitimate First Amendment activity, even if that activity is annoying to those government officials, violates our rights. I voted no. It passed 388-3.” Specifically, the bill, which now awaits president Barack Obama’s signature, levies a fine and up to a year in prison against anyone found in violation, and if the person violating the statute is carrying a dangerous weapon, the prison sentence is bumped up to no more than 10 years. Thus, a person eating in a diner while a presidential candidate is trying to score political points with the locals could be arrested if government agents determine that he is acting disorderly. Mind you, depending on who’s making the assessment, anything can be considered disorderly, including someone exercising his right to free speech by muttering to himself about a government official. And if that person happens to have a pocketknife or nail clippers in his possession or any other innocuous item that could be interpreted by the police as dangerous, he could face up to 10 years in prison. Although the Trespass Bill may have started out with the best of intentions, it was one of many kneejerk pieces of legislation introduced by members of Congress in the wake of the Gabrielle Giffords shooting in January 2011, it has ended up as the government’s declaration of zero tolerance for individuals exercising their First Amendment rights. Moreover, short of government officials patting down or body scanning every individual within proximity of a government official, this law is practically unenforceable. It’s doubtful this law even will do much to deter determined psychopaths, who have a way of getting past the most determined barriers. What it will do, however, is keep law enforcement officials occupied with people who pose no threats whatsoever and distracted from the real threats. The United States historically has stood for unfettered free speech, which is vital to a functioning democracy. Unfortunately, the tendency on the part of government and law enforcement officials to purge dissent largely has undermined the First Amendment’s safeguards for political free speech. Bubble zones destroy the very purpose of the First Amendment, which assures us of the right to peaceably assemble and petition the government for a redress of grievances. In other words, we, as citizens, have a constitutional right to address our government officials in a public manner so that they can hear our grievances or concerns. What these zones do, however, is create insulated barriers around public officials, thus keeping us out of sight and sound’s reach of those who are supposed to represent us. These zones serve a secondary purpose, which is to chill free speech by intimidating citizens into remaining silent. —The Rutherford Institute
