Bolingbrook Highs Banks, Santiago are Golden Apple ScholarsSUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA

BOLINGBROOK Two Bolingbrook High School se-niors have been named Golden Apple Scholars of Illinois.

Sydney Banks and An-tonio Santiago were among 175 statewide recipients of the scholarship program, which is designed to prepare future teachers to thrive in

the challenging high-needs school environments.

The Golden Apple Schol-ars program has been proven to profoundly improve per-sistence and graduation rates among participants, according to a news release.

In addition, the program has been shown to have a sig-nificant impact on workforce development by helping stu-

dents develop skills for a last-ing career in teaching.

Some 83 percent of all Gold-en Apple Scholars successful-ly graduate from college each year, dramatically outpacing the national average gradua-tion rate of 58 percent, the re-lease states.

A total of 84 percent of Golden Apple Scholars who complete their five-year com-

mitment to teach in a school of need remain in education today versus 44 percent of new teachers who leave their initial school within two years.

More than 665,000 students in Illinois have been taught by Golden Apple Scholars since 1989.

The program provides tui-tion assistance to each future teacher while they pursue an

undergraduate education at one of 52 Illinois universities.

Beginning the summer af-ter high school graduation and continuing throughout their undergraduate years, Schol-ars benefit from four teaching internships, ongoing academ-ic and career mentoring and course work on the art of teach-ing delivered by Golden Apple Award winning teachers.

BOLINGBROOK This year, one nonprofit organiza-tion will gain many helping hands from a Bolingbrook Area Chamber of Commerce group.

The chambers Young Pro-fessionals Association, a busi-ness development group, has elected Camp Fire USA Illinois Prairie Council as its nonprofit choice for all of its philanthrop-ic activities of 2014, according to a chamber press release.

Oh my gosh, we were just absolutely thrilled, said Stephanie Schiszik, CEO of Camp Fire. I didnt know this kind of thing happened, so to get chosen for something I hadnt worked for is absolutely a great surprise.

According to its website, Camp Fire gives young people the opportunity to find their spark, lift their voice and dis-cover who they are. The orga-nization serves almost 20,000 children a year through pro-grams in Will, DuPage, Kane,

Kendall and western Cook counties, Schiszik said.

The programs Camp Fire offers include an outdoor program that takes place on the organizations Boling-brook-based Camp Kata Kani. Here, children can participate in archery, fishing, a low ropes course, cookouts and more.

We dont allow any elec-tronics and dont have a tele-vision set on the property, Schiszik said. Its a classic day camp, which I personally feel is what day camp should be.

The organization also offers in-school programs. One, Kids on the Block, is an interactive puppet program that highlights a different disability at each grade level and asks youth to start No Put Down Zones and to Dare to Care, according to the website. Self Reliance, the other in-school program, teach-es elementary school youth about personal safety, strang-er danger, resisting bullying, positive peer relationships and more, Schiszik said.

The organization also hosts

after-school programs. Michael Carpanzano, exec-

utive director of the chamber, said the association chose to work with Camp Fire because of its common mission.

Based on the fact that Camp Fire deals directly with youth development, [we] de-cided it aligned perfectly with our YPA mission, he said. Giving local youth profes-sionals a platform to succeed is much like what Camp Fire does to the youth in our com-munity.

THE PERIODONTISTQ:What is a periodontist?A: A periodontist is a dentist who specializesin the prevention, diagnosis and treatmentof gum disease. The periodontist is one ofthe numerous specialists that practice withinthe general framework of dentistry. Generalpractitioners and specialists alike go throughthe education required for the basic dentaldegree. Specialists go on for another two orthree years to learn the specifics of their chosenarea. The word periodontist, incidentally,comes from the Greek words peri, meaningaround and odont, the word for tooth.Most tooth loss occurs as the result ofgum disease and deterioration of thebone supporting the teeth. Thats why theperiodontist is so important in the oral healthsystem. If detected early, periodontal, or gum,disease can be treated in non-surgical ways. Theperiodontist may be able to scrape accumulatedplaque from the roots of the teeth to stopbacteria from growing. The periodontist,because of his or her familiarity with the bonesupport system, also is the best person to weighin on whether a patient is a candidate for dentalimplants, which are set into the jaw bone.Ideally, you dont want to ever require theservices of a periodontist. The best way to keepyour gums and teeth healthy is to visit yourdentist regularly and maintain good oral carehabitsbrushing and flossingat home. Talkwith your dentist about the areas of dentalspecialty.

Will County pay raises get preliminary approvalBy LAUREN LEONECROSS

Elected county officials would get higher pay under a proposal that advanced Thurs-day out of the Will County Ex-ecutive Committee.

Committee members voted to increase compensation for the sheriff, clerk, treasurer, board speaker, board members and caucus leaders. The full county board could vote on the proposal when it meets Thursday.

The sheriffs salary of $110,000 would increase af-ter the November election to $120,000, with increases of $2,500 each of the following three years, under the recom-mendation by board member Steve Wilhelmi, D-Joliet, who chairs the finance committee.

This countys gotten quite large and the sheriffs job is defi-nitely a 24/7 operation, Wilhel-mi said. Many of the sheriffs lieutenants and deputy chiefs are making more than he is. I think its appropriate for that the person who is in charge gets at least as much money or some-what close to it.

Lieutenants and deputy

chiefs have received raises according to a union contract while the sheriffs pay has been frozen. County treasurer and clerk salaries would increase from $93,116 to $97,500 in 2016 and to $99,000 in 2017.

Those three countywide elected officials are up for elec-tion in November. Any raises for those positions would take effect after the election and be effective for the length of the next term.

Committee members opted Thursday not to address pay in-creases for the positions of cir-cuit clerk, coroner, recorder of deeds and auditor because their terms do not end until 2016. Historically, the board has not granted increases mid-term.

Raises also were recom-mended for board members, board speaker and caucus leaders.

Board members current sal-ary of $23,000 would increase to $24,500 but not until 2016, with an increase of $500 in 2017. The stipend for board speak-er would be hiked by $5,000 in 2016, making total compensa-tion $29,000, while caucus lead-ers stipends would increase by

$1,000, bringing total compensa-tion to $25,000.

Salaries are addressed every two years, said Bruce Friefeld, the boards chief of staff.

If salaries are to be raised, the approval must take place a minimum of six months before the upcoming November elec-tion. The County Board has one meeting before that dead-line, unless a special meeting is called for in May.

The pay hikes are not as high as what was proposed previously. A draft proposal comparing Will County elected officials salaries to other collar counties was presented to board members last week. In that pro-posal, board members compen-sation would have increased from $23,000 to $28,700, with in-creases in each of the following three years until total compen-sation reaches $30,900.

For sheriff, compensation would have increased from $110,923 to $140,000. For county executive, auditor, circuit court clerk, coroner, county clerk, recorder of deeds and treasur-er, current salaries would have been raised from $93,116 to $110,000.

Katie Butcher (from left), 12, and her dad, Dave, talk with Cheryl Johnson at the Bolingbrook Lions 16th annual Spaghetti Dinner fundraiser.

Congrats to the Bolingbrook Lions for another successful fund-raiser on Friday night. The group served more than 100 meals at their annual Spaghetti Dinner, with proceeds going to the local food pantry. The Lions do a ton in the community, and deserve our attention for a job well done.

Looking for some selfless time? A local nonprofit is looking for volunteers. Court Appointed Special Advocates, whose advocates for abused and neglected children, is hosting an informational session for volunteers at 6 p.m. May 6 at Fountaindale Library. You can learn more about CASA first at casaofwillcounty.org.

We have finally escaped winter, and I think we are all happy about that.

To celebrate spring and things green, our librarys very own Go Green Committee has put together some great events.

On Tuesday, we will have Conservation@Home, a program all about creating eco-friendly landscapes. This program will cover a variety of techniques for transforming your landscape, including the use of rain barrels, rain gardens and the selec-tion and use of native plants.

On May 10, our Go Green Committee is sponsoring three great activities.

The first is a paper shred-ding event from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Bring your old personal papers to the truck in our parking lot and the papers will be shredded and recycled. Please note that we have a limit of two boxes of paper a car.

Later in the day, we will have Preparing Your Home for Sale from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. and from 2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. we will have Breathe Easy: Green Your Home. This program will discuss indoor air quality and how to have a healthy home. All three programs are free and require no registration.

Later this month, we will be offering several programs to honor and remember survivors of the Holocaust.

Our United States Congress established the Days of Remem-brance as the nations annual commemoration of the Holocaust with Holocaust remembrance week April 27 through May 4.

We have two specials movies that we will be screening, too. From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. April 24, we will be showing a film

that tells a story of two explorers who survey caves in the Western Ukraine and relate how an extended Jewish family, fleeing persecution by the Nazis, lived for two years in a large cave, Popowa Yama, and survived the war.

From 5 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. April 28, we will be showing a film that chronicles the story of Oskar Schindler, a man who saved more than 1,100 Jews during the Holocaust.

Holocaust survivor Beatrice Muchman will be at our library from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. April 29. Ms. Muchman authored the book Never to be Forgotten: A Young Girls Holocaust Memoir, and will describe her struggle and survival in Nazi-occupied Belgium.

I hope you can join us for these programs. We strive to pro-vide a variety of interesting and thoughtful events, and I am sure you can find something that interests you.

As a holisticpractitioner I evaluate the whole body andthe many systems of the body, integrate theirrelationships, manage the underlying cause and usenatural methods to manage autoimmune disorders.

Are you suffering with any of theseautoimmune disorders?

HashimotosThroiditis Lupus Rheumatoid Arthritis ALS Graves Disease Psoriasis Multiple Sclerosis Vasculitis Scleroderma Celiac Disease Sjogrens Syndrome Crohns Disease Type 1 Diabetes Addisons Disease Myasthenia Gravis Urticaria (Hives) Ankylosing Spondylitis Eczema Perniscious Anemia Raynauds

Medications are not alwaysthe long term answer.

Medications can give you temporary relief but theyDO NOT ADDRESS THE UNDERLYING CAUSEof your immune imbalance. All medicationshave side effects.These side effects can be moredetrimental than the original symptoms sometimes.

Did you know that medications to treatautoimmune conditions can WEAKEN yourimmune system and lead to infections and immunedegenerative conditions including cancer?There is atime to use medications but not before a NATURALway to manage the underlying imbalance.

So how do I help people with autoimmunedisorders? I use a combination of specificNEUROLOGICAL protocols and NUTRITIONrecommendations Neuro-MetabolicTherapy.Your Brain (nervous System) controls all othersystems of the body. It controls your immunesystem. digestive system, endocrine (hormone)system so if you have an immune systemimbalance or autoimmune condition, evaluatingand managing the nervous system is required foroptimal improvement.

Your immune system.There are 2 parts to the front line defense ofyour immune system TH1 (white blood cells)and TH2 (antibody response).These 2 partsshould work in balance together. But when youare suffering from an autoimmune disorder, onepart is out of balance (dominant).This leads toan imbalance in TH3 which in turn leads to anautoimmune response.

I can work with your immune system NATURALLYand balance the TH1, TH2, TH3 and TH17. Youcan never be cured of an autoimmune disorder.BUT, you can get symptom relief and calm downthe immune attack on you own body. You must geta detailed immune system evaluation followed byspecific recommendation based on those tests.

Guess what stimulates TH1?Vitamin C. But ifyou are TH1 dominant, Taking vitamin C willWORSEN your immune response.Thats rightworsen. We need to identify which part of yourimmune system is dominant in order to calm downthe immune system.

I dont treat or cure autoimmune disorders.By using specific neurological and nutritionalprotocols, I help to decrease your bodysinflammation, detoxify your body, balance TH1,TH2, TH3 and TH17 which NATURALLY boostsyour immune system. THAT is how I addressautoimmune disorders.

TestimonialsI was diagnosed with Graves Disease (autoimmune thyroid) threeyears ago. My endocrinologist recommended surgery to removemy thyroid and put me on medication for the rest of my life. Isearched for an alternative treatment to save my thyroid and foundDr. Forzley.Through comprehensive lab testing he found out whatwas causing my immune system to attack my thyroid. I have beenreceiving treatments and following his recommendations exactlyand my lab numbers are now normal, my endocrinologist is happy,my medication has been reduced in half and I feel better. I highlyrecommend Dr. Forzley and his natural approach.

Samantha R.

I suffered from unbearable itching caused by Hives (chronicautoimmune Urticaria) for over 33 years. Steroid medicationshelped the symptoms temporarily but the side effects were bad.After an in-depth blood and metabolic analysis, Dr. Forzley foundthe cause of my problem. After 4-5 months of strictly following hisrecommendations, my hives are completely gone and I feel great.

Cheryl P.

If your immune system is not managed properly, your conditioncan worsen, result in a poor quality of life, cause a shortening of thelength of your life and cause other autoimmune disorders.HolisticTherapy can manage autoimmune conditions by:1) finding and balancing the underlying cause.2) lowering the self destructive effects of the immune system.3) using natural therapies that work with your body.

By DAN FARNHAM

The U.S. Department of Energys Argonne National Laboratory is under new lead-ership after the appointment of Peter Littlewood as its new laboratory director.

Littlewood is a professor of physics at the University of Chicago and was the associate laboratory director for physi-cal sciences and engineering at Argonne.

He recently discussed what he expects as the leader of one of the U.S. govern-ments foremost research facilities with reporter Dan Farnham.

Farnham: Is being the director of Argonne something you always wanted to do or an opportunity that presented itself?

Littlewood: I dont think I was expecting to be doing this. I came to Argonne three years ago. The reason I wanted to come to Argonne is to tackle problems with energy and sustainability. Its a tremen-dous opportunity to be able to lead more than 1,000 scientists in this lab and be able to lead people to these important ends.

Farnham: What do you see as your primary responsibility as director?

Littlewood: Argonne does two big classes of things. One is we run big facilities for the nation this is supporting science across the nation. One primary responsibility is to do that and do that well and to push that technology to be better and better.

The other side of what we do is what we call mis-sion-driven science In-creasingly important to us is engaging with local business-es. Were a big employer of businesses in the local commu-nity. Were also working with

Farnham: What are some of the challenges you will face?

Littlewood: There are a num-ber. Its an uncertain budget-ary environment I think

Argonne is in fact in very good shape. Another challenge for us is workplace development, and one for us in particular is developing a more diverse workforce. Thats one of the reasons we do so much work with development.

Littlewood: One of the most exciting things is the ability to influence the debate about important programs that are really going to change the world. You have the feeling that we are doing things here that are literally going to change the planet.

All About Kids

How to foster a love of reading in children

Todays parents know that its not always easy to instill a love of reading in children. Whether they are watching television, dab-bling with their smartphones, toying with their tablets or engaging in social media, youngsters now have more distractions at their disposal than ever before. So its no surprise that many youngsters may not be too enthusiastic about abandoning their gadgets in exchange for curling up with a good book.

But instilling a love of reading in kids early on can pay a lifetime of dividends. Children learn at a much faster pace during their first six years than at any other time in their lives, and the right

kind of stimulation during these years can provide the foundation for future learning. In addition, reading at an early age can inspire a childs creativity and imagination. Though many parents can recognize these benefits, that recognition does not make it easier to get kids to embrace reading. No two kids are alike, so parents might need to employ different strategies to get each of their kids to embrace reading. But the following are a handful of ways parents can foster a love of reading in their youngsters.

* Embrace their hobbies. When encouraging kids to read, parents may find it easier to get them to pick up a book if that books subject matter pertains to a favorite hob-by or something a youngster has expressed interest in. A seven-year-old boy with a passion for baseball will likely be more inclined to read an age-appropriate novel about Americas pastime than he will a book about fishing. Use youngsters enthusi-asm about a given hobby or interest to lay the foundation for a love of reading.

* Dont limit reading to books. Books are not the only reading materials that can fos-ter a love of reading in kids. Local newspapers and magazines have sparked many kids initial foray into reading, and such source materials can be just as inspiring as novels or short stories. Magazines made for youngsters give kids something they can start and finish reading in the same day. Young boys might want to read the sports page in the daily newspaper or visit a favorite teams website to learn all about last nights game, while young girls might be more inclined to read the arts and entertainment sections. Parents should encourage such exploration, even if it means leaving novels on the bookshelf for the time being.

* Read to youngsters. Another way to foster a love of reading in youngsters is to read to them every day. Many young kids just learning to read may be discouraged if their reading skills arent progressing rapidly. Reading to kids every day can inspire them to work harder at reading so they can be just as good at reading as Mom and Dad.

* Discuss reading materials with your children. Many people enjoy talking about books they have read as much as they enjoy reading the books, and kids are no different. Parents who want their youngsters to embrace reading can initiate discus-sions about what their kids are reading, discussing the plot of novels or the details of newspaper or magazine articles kids read. Ask them what they like and dislike about a book or ask for a recap of a story they read in the newspaper or an article they read in a magazine.

* Extend the reading experience. After they have finished a novel, adults often find it enjoyable to watch films based on that novel. Doing so extends the reading expe-rience and gives men and women a chance to see if their interpretations of a given story were similar or different from someone elses. Kids enjoy such extensions as well, so reward kids by taking them to the movies to see the film version of a favorite book or to a museum thats displaying an exhibit thats relevant to a book a youngster just read.

Though their youngsters may have many distractions at their disposal, there are still many ways for parents to foster a love of reading in their children.

All About KidsParents: Put the brakes on kids summer brain drainParents and kids alike sigh with relief at the end of another successful school year. Yet years of studies show that summer brain drain is a very real phenomenon, and where kids are intellectually at the end of one school year isnt always where they are when they begin a new one. Over the summer, the average student loses more than two months of grade-level equivalency in math skills.Luckily parents have somewhere to turn with the successful implementation of childrens enrich-ment programs, shifting your summer breaks into learning opportunities.

Summer is an ideal time for children to build on their math and science skills, instead of losing them, which is known as the summer slide, says Michelle Cote, founder and creative director of Bricks 4 Kidz.

Summer camps with an emphasis on STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) allow children to collaborate with their peers, teaching teamwork and organization while enhancing self-esteem and improving fine motor skills.

Parents looking for a way to combat the unfortunate educational losses have been encouraged by the growth of enrichment programs and the pool of talented instructors. Teachers who also have a summer break are flocking to these programs where they are given the freedom to be creative, teaching the way that they have always imagined.

We all enjoy the summer when we can help our students grow in much more inventive ways, eliciting the visions of our young scientists, engineers and architects through enrichment camps, says Gracia Merrill, a 12-year education veteran, just two months shy of her masters in education.

Summer months are an excellent time for kids to not only fill learning gaps but also get ahead

of the curve for the upcoming year. The models that the children build spark interest in science and math organically as they investigate ways to change gear ratios - making models go faster (or slower) - forces in motion, engineering concepts and the principles behind them, says Cote. It is the hands-on learning they miss out on during the school year while gaining STEM based knowledge simply by attending camp.

Parents looking for a program for their children should look for one that:* Encourages curiosity, creativity and cognitive development, the ability to think and understand.* Uses the tools that children relate to, such as LEGO Bricks.* Offers engaging activities that boost self-esteem.* Fosters an appreciation for how things work from vision and experimentation to culmination.

Children have the innate ability to embrace their visions as reality, says Dan ODonnell, COO of Creative Learning Corp., the franchise developer of Bricks 4 Kidz. Our camps provide the atmo-sphere where gears and motors take simple bricks and turn them into the stuff dreams are made of.

This summer, students can easily avoid brain drain when they learn while playing. Theyll have so much fun they wont even realize that the basis of their summer enrichment program has cata-pulted them beyond these three months, into a new school year full of promise.

To find a Bricks 4 Kidz program in your area, visit the interactive map at www.bricks4kidz.com. You can learn more about their programs and new summer camps by searching for a location by state or zip code.

All About KidsHow to prevent playground injuries

Playground equipment is a magnet for children, and rightfully so. Kids love playing on swings, slides and climbing components of playsets on school properties and at area parks. While playgrounds are ideal settings for fun-filled days, they also carry a certain degree of risk.

Approximately 20 children in the United States die from playground-related injures every year. More than half of these deaths result from strangulation and about one-third result from falls, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But parents can reduce their youngsters risk of injury and the severity of injuries in various ways.* Purchase recommended, safe equipment. Parents should do their research when buying playground equipment. Consumers can check with the Consumer Product Safety Commission for any litigation involving certain manufacturers or any product recalls. It may cost a little more to install a top-of-the-line playground set, but the peace of mind and reduced risk of injury is worth the extra cost.* Invest in adequate surfacing. The CPSC says roughly 60 percent of all playground injuries result from falls the structures. Although no fall is pleasant, the severity of injury resulting from a fall can be greatly reduced depending on how safe the surface material surrounding the equipment is. Blacktop, concrete or even grass can be painful to land on. However, loose-fill materials like pea gravel, sand, shredded rubber, or mulch can soften falls. Plus, these materials are relatively low-cost and can be made from recycled items. But parents should know that loose-fill materials must be maintained to ensure a safe level of thickness. A depth of 12 inches is often recommended.* Choose an age-appropriate structure. Injuries frequently occur when children use equipment designed for older kids. Playgrounds are not one-size-fits-all. There are specific differences in the size and stature of younger children from older ones, as well as limitations in younger childrens development. Segregated playground areas, or those with groupings of equipment recommended for certain age groups, can help limit injuries. Pre-school children need smaller steps and crawl spaces, while older children can utilize overhead bars that maximize upper-arm strength. * Safely situate equipment. Consider placing a piece of playground equipment under a shady area to keep children comfortable and safe from sunburns. Hot equipment can result in burns and being out in direct sunlight can also cause UV damage to the childrens skin. Structures should be situated so there are no obstructions or obstacles to any moving parts.* Select a shorter structure. Studies show that the greater the height of a playground structure the greater the risk for injury. Choose playground equipment that is nearer to the ground to prevent serious injuries from falls and other incidents.* Inspect and maintain the equipment. Safety measures must still be taken after the playground has been erected. Equipment should be routinely inspected for damage and movable parts and joints should be examined for any signs of wear and tear. Bolts should remain tight, and any hardware that is protruding should be fixed. S-rings and other links and chains should not have gaps where children can get caught. Wood should be inspected for splintering or decay and replaced where necessary.* Supervise kids at all times. Children should always be supervised when playing on playground equipment, whether they are playing at school, at home or in a public park. Adults should discourage poor or risk-taking behavior that increases risk of injury. Adults also are urged to keep abreast of changing structure codes and guide-lines so that equipment can be adjusted accordingly.

Purchasing only top-rated structures and inspecting such structures regularly are two ways to keep children safe on playgrounds.

FinancesMoney is often overlooked when

deciding whether or not to bring a pet into a home.

But pets can be expensive, and the potential cost of pet ownership must be fully explored. Pet adoption fees are often negligible, but families who prefer a purebred dog can expect to spend considerably more money than they would if they were to adopt a mixed breed dog from the local shelter. In addition, a pedigreed cat is likely to cost more than a cat adopted from the shel-ter. But those initial fees are only a small part of the expenses associated with pet ownership. Medical costs, including routine veterinary visits and medication, pet insurance, food, and grooming costs can add up over time, so families already working on thin budgets might find its not financially prudent to bring a pet into their home until their finances stabilize.

Families who tend to travel a lot also must consider the cost of sheltering the animal when they are out of town, while renters should determine if bringing a pet into a home will incur a higher rental deposit or if the animal is likely to cause damage, as puppies and kittens tend to do, that will ultimately cost them money when they move out of their rental.

TimeSome pets require more attention

than others, so heads of a family should consider just how much time they have to devote to pet ownership. Dogs tend to need the most attention among the more popular household pets, so families whose schedules are already full may find that pets who dont need so much attention fit their lifestyle better. For example, cats dont need to go for daily walks and tend to be more independent than canines, making them ideal pets for on-the-go families. When deciding if a pet is right for your family, give heavy consideration to how much time your family spends at home, and if you decide to adopt a pet, choose one that wont be negatively affected by your schedules.

DemeanorWhen considering bringing a pet

into a home, parents should consider both their own demeanor, their kids

demeanors and the demeanor of the pet they are thinking of adopting. Dogs have their idiosyncrasies, but breeds tend to exhibit similar behaviors. Labrador retrievers, for example, tend to be active and energetic, while a typical English bulldog might be more laid-back and less prone to running around. Active families who enjoy spending time outdoors might prefer a more active dog, while families who enjoy relaxing at home might want a dog thats equally comfortable lounging around the house.

When considering cats, families should speak with a professional, be it a veterinarian or a representative at the local animal shelter, about the demeanors of different breeds to ensure they make the best decision. Parents of young children likely want a cat thats playful as opposed to one who is likely to be standoffish with curious kids.

FutureThe future is another thing parents

must consider before bringing a pet into their home. Parents whose careers are stable might make better pet owners than those angling for a reassignment or looking to change careers. An unfortunate side effect of the recession that began in 2008 was that many families were forced to relocate when one or both parents lost their jobs but found opportunities elsewhere. Upon moving, these families realized the family pet could not make the trip, which led to shelters being flooded with homeless pets. If your familys future is in question, delay adopting or buying a pet until your situation is more stable. If all is well in your career and your family is firmly entrenched in your community, then now might be a great time to bring a pet into your home.

All About KidsIs a pet right for your family?Pets often make wonderful additions to a household. Parents not only love pets because animals bring smiles to their childrens faces, but also because pets teach kids about responsibility.But the decision of whether or not to bring a pet into a home is a complicated one that parents would be wise to give ample consideration before making their final decision. The following are a few factors parents can consider when deciding if now is the right time to bring a pet into their household.

So many resorts are billed as the best for families, and do live up to the hype for the throngs of visitors who plan vacations each and every year. But if yours is a family that would be interested in avoiding the long lines and the franchised fun, you may be happy to know you are in good company. Its possible to manufacture your own family vacation without partaking in one of the pre-assembled family plans.

According to the travel planning site Expedia(R), a few countries are more vacation deprived than others. These

include the United States, Canada, Mexico, Singapore, Japan and South Korea. North Americans earn fewer vacation days than most countries. Even still, theyre also more likely to leave two or more days of earned vacation time unused. Affordability and saving days for future obligations is why people are apt to squander away vacation time. When vacations are taken, however, families could want to maximize time spent together and look for some key features.

When planning your next family quest, consider these vacation pointers.* Just because a hotel or resort is not billed as a family place doesnt mean it isnt family-friendly. Read reviews from people who have stayed at the hotel. See how they rate the hotel in terms of amenities and figure out what strengths the property has. If people remark about the romantic atmosphere, it probably caters to couples. If an array of food options and activities are touted, the hotel could be good for families.* Choose a resort that offers babysitting services or a few child-central activities. While the goal of the family vacation is to spend time together, there are likely to be moments when each person may want to do his own thing. Parents looking for some time away will benefit from a resort that has a childcare center on the proper-ty. Plus, kids may appreciate being independent from their parents for a few hours and having fun with others their own ages.* Find a destination with a mix of ethnic and familiar cuisine. Of all the people in the family, children tend to be the most finicky when it comes to dining options. Some parents are lucky enough to have kids open to any and all food suggestions, but most have children who have a few favorites and dont stray far from those options. Therefore, opt for a port of call that not only enables you to sample the local cuisine, but also has a chain restaurant or familiar foods that children will be sure to eat.* Think outside the hotel box. When vacation deals pop up on your Internet search engines, it can be easy to think these plans are the only ones out there. However, with a little more research and work, families can often custom tailor a vacation that is memorable. For example, many local property owners sublet their condominiums or vacation houses to others throughout the year. Instead of booking a hotel in a resort, you may be able to rent a house or condo for a week so you will have more room to stretch out -- something that is advantageous with an entire family in tow -- and a kitchen to make a few meals at home. This saves on expenses and arguments over when and where to dine out. * Plan activities around your youngest traveler. While you may want to scale moun-tains or dive the depths of the ocean, having a young child in tow may hamper some of these intense plans. That isnt to say you cannot try things outside of the comfort zone. While you may not be able to scuba dive, you may be able to snorkel with a toddler coasting along on an inflatable raft. Or, you may need to bring a child carrier along for a challenging hike. Cater to your weakest link so you are not left with high expectations and cranky kids.* Schedule some down time to just enjoy your surroundings. The vacation cannot be all about a strict itinerary. With children along for the experience, theyll appreciate some moments to just venture and explore or engage in some imaginative play. Dont feel the need to over-schedule every minute of the vacation. Otherwise you may leave feeling more spent than relaxed.* Dont cut too many corners. A couple traveling may be able to make due with the bare minimum, but the entire family traveling together will benefit from some creature comforts. It could be wise to fly to your destination rather than enduring 12 hours of the dreaded Are we there yet? chant. Find a hotel that will offer some of the kids favorite cable channels, so they can catch up on cartoons while parents are sleeping in. Opt for the two-room suite rather than the efficiency if you can afford it, so that everyone will have more elbow room. Splurge on that goofy $20 photo that shows the entire clan mouths agape while riding down the log flume. Create memo-ries that you will want to recall for all of the good reasons instead of the poor ones.
