A recent article in The Source
concerning a trip by World War II veter-
ans from Beardstown to Washington DC
was indeed touching when it described
the cheers from airport passengers when
the veterans disembarked from the air-
plane. I suspect there were tears, and
justifiably so, all over the place.
It brought back memories of a
sunny Thanksgiving day in 1944, when
the United States Army moved the 76th
Infantry Division from Ft. Myles
Standish, located near Taunton Green,
Massachusetts to Boston Harbor, 40
miles away. Among the men being trans-
ported was this writer, all 170 pounds of
him.
Taunton Green is located not
only 40 miles from Boston but also 18
miles east of Providence and 25 miles
west of Plymouth. It is well served by a
number of railroads. Ft. Myles Standish
was a holding area for troops awaiting
the trip across the Atlantic Ocean on
Liberty Ships. (Presently, there is the
frame of a Liberty Ship in a park in
Portland, Maine. They were manufac-
tured there during the War. If you are
ever near there and are curious as to theirsize you will see that they were not
exactly competitors with the Queen
Mary, but that is another story.)
Just exactly why the Army
would choose to move fourteen thousand
men from Ft. Myles Standish to Boston
Harbor on Thanksgiving is something
that only those who make such decisions
can possibly answer, and by this late date
they are all dead, so we shall never know.
But that was the chosen day.
I dont know how many trains
were involved, but there must have been
quite a few. I dont know at what hour
the 40 plus mile trip started, but it must
have been early. Nor do I know how
many trainloads there were after our reg-
iment loaded, but I suspect a number
more. A great number more.
There are a lot of crossroads
between Taunton Green and Boston
Harbor. A lot. I thought the ride would
be uneventful, 40 miles through the
Massachusetts countryside. I was
wrong.
When the train passed through
the first crossroads, there were crowds of
women dressed in their beautiful Sunday
clothing. Women in hats and finery wav-
ing at us; smiling at us; communicating
their support and their commitment. I
thought, That was touching. I had no
idea as to what was coming.
Remember, the trains started
moving early in the morning and proba-
bly continued all day. This was
Thanksgiving, a time when families
gather around the table and the hearth
and enjoy the pleasures of this particularday. It was probably three oclock in the
afternoon when the Fourth Platoon of
Company E, 385th Regiment of the 76th
Infantry Division made the trip.
Shortly we came to another
crossroads, and were met with the same
scene. It never stopped. How many
crossroads? How many women? How
long had they been standing there when
we passed? How long did they stay as
other trains brought more of the divi-
sion? Touched? By the time we reached
Boston Harbor we were so thrilled and
really overwhelmed.
I am not into war stories, I never
have been. But having started, I guess I
should state that when it was all over, and
we were coming back home and into
New York Harbor, my first impression of
again seeing the United States, was the
number of cars rounding the Battery.
Then, as we got closer, the welcoming
started. Sirens and whistles blared from
every ship in the harbor, and I mean
every single one. From ocean liners to
tugs. Cheers went up from every ship we
passed. Fire boats accompanied us and
shot huge streams of water in the air. Joy
and euphoria.
The euphoria remained with
me that night and and was still there the
next morning when, out of the deep
silence of sleeping men, the bullhorn
voice of the sergeant suddened yelled.
All right men, out of those sacks. On
the double. Move! Its time for Reville.
So, out we went in the cold for
morning roll call.
Somehow it was reassuring thatin spite of winning the most serious war
in its history, the Army hadnt even
remotely changed; reville would be
stood. Somehow that was reassuring.
The Army was still there in all of its reg-
ularity. This regularity had protected
the Country through the many years of
its existence. It continues to do so today.

I was born with ten fingers, ten
toes, and a seemingly inbred respect for
the military. It was a decidedly healthy
respect, the kind that inspired my brothersto serve in the wakes of our father and
uncles, but not an indoctrination; military
service was encouraged, but not demand-
ed, so when my sisters and I chose civil-
ian lives, we did so with the same level of
support and encouragement as our mili-
tary siblings.
As I aged and gained more life
experience, my genetic respect for the
military found validation in what I
observed. My brothers excelled, as did
other service members, both active-duty
and retired. There was, of course, an
exception now and then, but far more
often I saw the military produce outstand-ing citizens. As a result, when I hit that
early-adult threshold where the world
becomes less what we are taught and
more what we assess it to be, my concept
of the military was firm; the armed serv-
ices took those willing to serve the rest of
us and helped them excel at it. I assumed
this was common knowledge and, thus,
that my confidence in and approval of the
military was shared by all.
I maintain my beliefs yet today,
with a couple of alterations. Law
enforcement, public safety, and humani-
tarian disaster and relief personnel now
share the militarys top slot in my person-al respect hierarchy. But while I choose
to believe my thinking still reflects that of
the majority, I am long past the miscon-
ception that my respect for the military is
universal.
Many Americans regard the mil-
itary with disdain, and they have been
very vocal in recent years. My concern is
not with those who disagree with the mis-
sion; our elected representatives are
responsible for what our military does, so
aim the discontent at the politicians and
fire away. Nor am I bothered by pacifists
who simply, if unrealistically, yearn for a
world where the military is just not neces-
sary. And I will not even bother to engage
suggestions that the United States does
not need defending, or accusations that
the military attracts and fosters war-mon-
gerers; in both cases, the few disciples of
those views need to seek counsel or, at the
very least, better education (try History
101 and The ABCs of Human Nature).
My antipathy, instead, is with the
elitists who disregard the men and women
in uniform as sub-par. Those who see
service as beneath them, those who can-
not fathom why anyone would

ents on the military: in short, th
thans. The so-called cultural elwith examples, but none summ

So, we recently celebrated
Halloween in the small town ofJacksonville, Illinois. As I rode through
the different neighborhoods and looked at
the different decorations, I was absolutely
delighted to see all the pumpkins, ghosts,
and ghouls. One very common decoration
I like the best is the thick, dense, white,
silky stuff people use to create the illusion
of a spider web. Some of these web deco-
rations might stretch over a very small
portion of a particular area, whereas some
span the entire height or length of the
structure to which they are secured. Ive
seen that silky stuff in the package and
once it is removed there is a potential for it
to become a tangled mess. The kind I have
purchased before comes all bundledtogether and the decorator must pull it
apart and stretch it until it begins to take
on an eerie appearance, similar to that of a
web.
What is it about spider webs, or
cob webs (as I often heard my grandmoth-
er refer to them), that equates them to
fright? The web itself is a beautiful thing.
Ive never seen a work of art so intricate as
I did when, one day, I walked out my back
door and came face to face with a huge
web that had been constructed on my
garage door. My first instinct was to get a
rake and knock it down. But, once I took
the time to really observe the web I
though, whoa! How long did it take that
one spider to do this? I mean, there were
like a hundred spirals, patterned and posi-
tioned almost perfectly. Each section was
evenly spaced and the web was sturdy.
Not to mention, the architect of that web
was sitting right in the middle of it, just
waiting for his next catch. OOOO
WEEEE, it would have been a really bad
day for me if I would have accidentally
walked face first into that web. I probably
would have hurt myself by trying to slap
that spider off of me!
Having said that, I have reacheda conclusion that its not so much the spi-
der web itself that is frightening. But more
so, its the idea that the eight eyed, eight
legged, ugly creature that created this tan-
gible illusion could be lying in awaiting
somewhere within the web. That, my
friends, is what makes the web so frighten-
ing. Likewise, I realize that these finely
woven webs can be spun by people, too.
However, unlike the spider (who is natu-
rally inclined to do so), people tend to spin
webs of intricate and ugly falsehoods that
give the illusion of being the truth. Like a
time spun web, a well worked and convo-
luted lie can also entrap an intended prey.
Therefore, an intended victim shouldalways look closely before taking the next
step, in order to avoid being caught in a
trap that will ensnare the victim and place
an extremely negative spin on that vic-
tims life.
Happy Holidays, Ladies and
Gentlemen! This is one of my philoso-
phies. I invite you to have your own.
Peace & Blessings.

Fort Richardson PAO - Its World
War II technology thats older than the grand-
parents of many of the Soldiers who will
assemble it.
Instructors from Fort Leonard
Wood, Mo., came up earlier this month to
teach a class in the assembly of the M2 Bailey
Bridge, named after its inventor Sir Donald
Bailey.
The area resembled an organized
scrap yard more than a bridge-building area.
Pieces of metal were stacked everywhere
large, heavy and slightly rusty.
Without a crane in sight, a group of
Soldiers from the 6th Engineer Battalion and
workers from the Alaska Department of
Transportation had to heft each piece into
place using nothing but their good physical
condition and youth.
The side panels each weigh about
570 pounds, requiring a six-man lift. The tran-
soms, large steel I-beams installed horizontal-
ly beneath the deck, each required eight peo-ple lifting. The entire operation was complet-
ed by hand.
Thats one of the major purposes of
the Bailey bridge the components are sup-
posed to be trucked up to the crossing, but
every piece is designed to be hand portable
and easily installed by Soldiers in combat
environments. Its ease of installation also
makes it ideal for emergencies, wh

Its election season. Although you wont be selecting either a new presi-
dent or a new Congress, you may well have the opportunity to vote on
something that can affect your city or state: municipal bonds. However,just because you vote to give your state or local government permission to issue municipal
bonds doesnt mean you have to invest in them. But should you?
Before you can answer that question, you need to know what municipal bonds are and how
they work. General obligation bonds are backed by property taxes and finance projects from
cities, counties, school districts and states. Revenue bonds are backed by a specific revenue
source and finance hospitals, utilities, airports, affordable housing and other public works. So
when you invest in a revenue bond, you are being somewhat civic-minded, although you
arent confined to bonds issued by your city or state.
You can get other tangible benefits from investing in municipal bonds, or munis. First,
youll receive regular interest payments. Just as importantly, these payments typically are
exempt from federal income taxes and possibly state and local income taxes as well. Keep
in mind, however, that they may be subject to the alternative minimum tax. Consequently, if
youre in an upper tax bracket, you may be especially interested in munis.
Still, before investing in a muni, youll want to determine its yield. Basically, a bonds yield
is the rate of return it promises at any given price; when a bonds price rises, its yield usual-
ly falls, and vice versa. The longer the time to a bonds maturity, the greater its interest raterisk. To compare the yield of a tax-free muni to that of a taxable bond, you must calculate its
tax-equivalent yield, which is based on the munis interest rate and your individual tax brack-
et. For example, let's say you are considering a tax-free muni that pays 4% interest, and
youre in the 28% tax bracket. To determine the bond's tax-equivalent yield, subtract your tax
rate (.28) from 1, giving you .72. Then divide the bond's rate, or .4, by .72, giving you 5.5%.
This means you would need to find a taxable bond that pays at least 5.5% to equal the yield
of a tax-free muni paying 4%.
Even if youve determined that a tax-free munis yield compares favorably to that of a tax-
able bond, you need to assess some of the potential risks of owning munis. For one thing,
municipalities are clearly not exempt from the effects of the long and harsh recession weve
experienced. Consequently, some projects funded by munis may have trouble generating the
revenue needed to repay the bonds investors.
Another potential issue to consider with munis is their liquidity. Some states, such as New
York and California, issue a great many bonds, which are traded regularly. But some munic-
ipalities operate in more illiquid markets, so if you buy a muni from one of these issuers, you
may need to hold it until it matures.
Also, munis are traded over the counter rather than on an exchange, so it can sometimes be
difficult to get a price quote for your bond, not to mention a buyer. These liquidity issues may
not matter to you, however, if you intend to hold your bond until maturity, collecting regular
interest payments along the way and eventually receiving your principal back. There is also
credit risk when investing in bonds, where if the issuer defaults you could potentially lose all
of your principal.
In any case, as long as youve done your research and gotten help from a qualified financial
professional, you may find that municipal bonds can benefit you so give them some
thought.

Birthday. The same word that sends
children into fits of zeal can drive the middle
aged into fits of depression. Birthdays are of
monumental importance during the teenage
years. At 15, you get a drivers permit. 16a
license. 18now you can buy your own ciga-
rettes, vote, be tried in court as an adult, and
enlist in the US military. 21alcohol is legal.
Then the biggest one: 25. You can now rent a
car. After a pinnacle like car rental, theres not
much left, unless you want to run for President,
in which case, I should hope other issues are of
more concern than counting down the days
until you turn 35.
To celebrate my first birthday in
Hong Kong, my friends took me out for a tra-
ditional Chinese meal with a special birthday
twist. The first requirement was to eat long
noodles. The length of noodle consumed
directly corresponds to the length of life to be
enjoyed by the celebrant. Its science. Another
core element of a Hong Kong birthday is the
Birthday Bunrotund bread steamed and
sprayed with festive hot pink coloring, thenfilled with lotus seed paste. Before moving to
Hong Kong, I did not know what a lotus seed
was, much less that it is common practice to
make an edible paste thereof. I still have no
idea what it is. All I can report with any accu-
racy is that I have consumed a fai r amount of it
and I continue to live. Of course, for this I real-
ly must credit all those long noodles Ive been
eating.
Gift giving is just as popular for
Hong Kong birthdays as it is in the U.S. (This
does not hold true for Hong Kong weddings,
which I learned the hard way by carrying
around a stupid presentsince theres no gift
tableand trying to pass it off as my miniature
cubic purse). At a Hong Kong birthday, you
are under no circumstances, to give the cele-
brant a clock as a gift. The Chinese word for
clock and death are very similar, so to
receive a clock is to receive death. And just in
case you think shoes would be a good gift,
think again. To say the word for shoes in
Chinese, it requires a big sigh at the end of the
word. People equate this sigh with the last
breath of life, so shoes also equal death.
Moreover, the number four resembles
death, so if at all possible, you should try not
to be born in April (the 4th month) or any day
containing the number four.
In Vietnam, everyone celebrates his
or her birthday on New Years Day. Interesting
concept. Everyone is a year older on January
1st. This would never work in the US, where
individualism is so ingrained in the culture. I
definitely enjoy having my own day and was
so disappointed to learn recently that I share
itOctober 10thwith Taiwanese National
Day. No one ever brought this fact to my atten-
tion when I lived in the US. In Hong Kong, allI hear about on my birthday is Taiwan this,
Taiwan that.
A friend of mine in the Mongolian
Peace Corps says that people there calculate
age starting not from the day of birth, but from
conception. In other words, if I go to Mongolia
and I need to tell someone how old I am, I add
nine months to the number. Introducing this
concept in the United States would be disas-
trous. Imagine the chaos when thousands of
people aged 24 years 3 months suddenly think
they can rent a car.

Fall has always
been my favorite time ofyear. I love the cool morn-
ings, the smell of burning
leaves, watching the com-
bines making their paths
thru the dried corn fields
and sitting by the first fire of the fall burning in
the fireplace while drinking apple cider.
The crown jewel of fall would be the
leaves. When you look out the window or drive
down the street and see the vibrant orange, red
and yellows it brings about such a warm and
cozy feeling. Have you ever seen the glisten-
ing sun through a bright orange tree? It looks
as though it has 1000 little bonfires burning
inside of it. It is so brilliant.
In just a few days, you will drive by
that same beautiful tree and it will no longer be
a majestical sight. The wind will have taken
away all of the leaves, never to be seen again.
I wonder how that can happen in what seems to
be a blink of an eye? This, my favorite season,
has become the most difficult for me to view.
For me, the change was watching my mother, in
just a little more than a month go from being a
majestic beauty to disappearing, never to be
seen again.
I never fathomed a time, when my
mother would not be here on this earth. Not
even as I sat by her bed, holding her hand and
watching her beauty, color, and breath leave her
body. To lose your mother right in front of your
eyes, and not be able to stop it from happening
is heartbreaking.
I lost my mom November 2, 2006 at
about 5 AM. During the fall, it feels like yes-terday. All the things I love about autumn trig-
ger the grief, pain and loneliness of my moth-
er's passing. My mom was such a huge part of
my world that I figured even with her passing,
I would still feel her presence. Unfortunately
that has not occurred and that leaves my heart
with an emptiness that cannot be filled. Just
like those colorful leaves, we so easily take for
granted, a loved one can be swept away so
quickly.
For those that have lost parents. They
understand the black cloud of sadness that
never seems to stray too far from our hearts and
the craving to just hear the sound of your loved
ones voice, to feel the warmth of a hug from
them. There is a need, no matter the age, to be
someone's child. This just never seems to go
away. While you might think the holidays arethe worst for us orphans, for me, they are no
problem. The holidays allow me to keep myself
busy and focused with the tasks at hand.
The moments that feel like you've
been punched in the stomach are those tricky
ones. Like when you go to pick up the phone to
call your mom to tell her good morning, or see
a car like she drove and start to wave. These
are the moments that make me relive the early
fall morning of watching my beautiful mother's
life wisp away from me like one of those
vibrant, brilliant yellow leaves in the wind. I
miss and love you mom. In peace and light.

My father often talked
about his experiences during World
War II, and he did so with justifi-
able pride. He enlisted in the army
after graduating high school and
spent most of his tour as an aviation
mechanic stationed in several state-
side bases. Like millions of other
ordinary Americans, he left civilian
life behind to serve his country in
time of war.
With every military
engagement since, it seems those
who serve our nation do so to
appalling levels of diminishing
respect. My uncle fought in the
Korean conflict. My brother served
in the Navy
during the
Vietnam War.C o u n t l e s s
friends toured
the battlefields
of Kuwait and
the current
engagements
in Afghanistan
and Iraq. And,
if one were to
believe reports
from a fair
number of
media and
e l e c t e d
sources, these
h o n o r a b l e
men andwomen are
worthy mostly
of our distrust and disgust.
The way some people are
talking about our soldiers these
days is as off base as a preschool
staging a sumo wrestler-tossing
contest. The claim that, I support
the troops but not the war, makes
about as much sense to me as
bathing the cat in turpentine and
being irritated that his fur fell out.
One of my former theatre
kids, Chapins Courtney
McCormick, is stationed in a mili-
tary unit right now in Afghanistan.
Courtney is about as far as I can
imagine from the kind of person
those critical naysayers are portray-
ing our military personnel to be.
She is strong, dedicated, unselfish,
compassionate, and extremely intel-
ligent. I would have no problem
whatsoever if God plucked her out
of our hemisphere of humanity,
placed her before the world and
said, This is the best America has
to offer.

Reese Family Chiropractic is a
well-known name in the Jacksonville area
because of its positive connotation. When the
Reeses moved here in 1989, they had no idea
that they would be calling Jacksonville their
permanent home. The towns warm, inviting
atmosphere and citizens were enough to make
the family want to stay and serve the commu-
nity with whom they quickly fell in love.
When owner Doug Reese was in
high school in Pennsylvania, his older sister,
Lori, headed off to college and met her future
husband, Neal. He was studying to be a chiro-
practor and the profession interested Lori, so
she began to talk with Doug and their younger brother Greg about their future school and
career paths, pointing out that chiropractic
could be a good choice.
Doug decided on graduating
high school and going into the field
while Greg wanted to focus on respi-
ratory therapy. They both enrolled in
undergraduate programs; Greg fin-
ished and obtained his degree in June
1986 and Doug finished his prerecs to
enter chiropractic college in
September of 1986. The two then
decided to transfer to Palmer College
of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa,
where their brother-in-law had gotten
his degree.
Both brothers decided tomove straight through the program,
taking a full load of classes even in the
summer. The summer of 1987, howev-
er, since Greg had begun Palmer
College of Chiropractic one quarter
early, he decided to take take a quarter
off so that he and Doug would gradu-
ate together.
Doug worked at UPS
overnight while Greg was employed at
a local hospital. Soon, Doug got a job
at the hospital as a cardio technician.
The two were obviously very close all
the way through school, doing every-
thing together from lab work to work-
ing at the hospital, the two were inseparable.
During school, Doug met a girl
named Dee Dee, the girl of my dreams, hesmiled. She worked at the lab at Dougs
school. Dee Dee began to attend Palmer
College of Chiropractic Technicians in 1986,
after the two decided they wanted to be mar-
ried.
She would become certified
Chiropractic Technician and in the future be
able to manage her husbands office and assist
him with his work, from insurance paperwork
to patient care and exams. She would be the
key person in his office. Dee Dee finished her
schooling in 1987, and the two were married
on February 14 of that year.
Doug continued going to school
and working at the hospital with Greg while
Dee Dee used her degree and worked in a
large office. They soon found out they were
expecting, but a surprise came when they
heard they were having twins.
On August 22, 1988, their twin
daughters Emily and Erica were born. Doug
and Greg soon graduated with their Doctoral
Degrees. After graduating, most chiropractors
do a one to three year associate job with
another office to get hands-on experience
with other doctors.
Since Doug was married and had
just started a family, he didnt feel this was forhim. I needed to dive in headfirst, he stated.
I couldnt take a low paying associateship
with a family to take care of.
Doug and a friend he graduated
with became partners and decided to look for
a retiring chiropractor so that they could takeover his business. They looked in many
states, including Tennessee, Wisconsin,
Michigan, and Illinois.
During this time, Doug and Dee
Dee were staying with her Aunt in the Quad
Cities. They heard that a Chiropractor in
Jacksonville was planning to retire, so after
finding out where Jacksonville was, the cou-
ple and their business partner traveled to
Jacksonville to see the clinic, and meet Dr. M.
Nolan Smith.
Dr. Smith opened his business in
1953, on East State Street. Doug, Dee Dee,
and his colleague thought the business was
just what they were looking for and decided
to take it over in the summer of 1989. Just
before they were planning to move to
Jacksonville, Dougs friend and colleague
changed his plans and left the couple with a
difficult predicament - to continue the move
alone or to forgo the entire idea.
Doug and Dee Dee decided to take
the opportunity in front of them, so after the
two rented a duplex over the phone (without
seeing it) and packed up their young family
(including two 14 month-olds), they headed
to a new town to begin their adult lives.
Every time we reached out for aresource (in the Jacksonville community), it
was so easy. We had no problems! Doug
stated. Dr. Smith stayed at the practice for
about a month, introducing Doug to the prac-
tice and the patients, before entrusting the
business to him on November 1st of 1989.Dee Dee ran the office alone for
several years, computerizing the entire sys-
tem. She then trained employees as they were
needed because business began to grow
immensely. She then was able to go home to
care for her daughters and younger son,
Elijah.
Since 1995 would mark the 100th
anniversary of chiropractic care, Doug felt
that something big should be done. He made
a goal to have a new office built on Westgate
Avenue. The business has continued growing
through the years and now has several full-
time employees.
Kristin Lane is the offic
at Reese Family Chiropractic. She
nally hired as a receptionist and
took over Dee Dees place as a c
assistant.
Lacey Jones is the
licensed massage therapist. Ashle
was recently hired as a Certifie
Assistant. Courtney Daniels, a Lin

One day last September, John
Lockman left his home in Jacksonville and
went to work. When he left, his son, Carter,
was six and his son, Sam, was two. When hereturned home a year later, Carter was seven
and three or four inches taller, and Sam who
knew only a few words the last time he saw
his daddy was now three and now speaking
in complete sentences.
John Lockmans job isnt a normal,
everyday, run-of-the-mill kind of job.
Lockman is an Illinois Army National
Guardsman, and last September, the citizen-
soldier who works in Springfield and normal-
ly spends his off-duty hours home with his
family, joined thousands of other guardsmen
from across the state and nation on federal
active duty in support of the war on terror in
Afghanistan.
And now, after nearly a year in
Afghanistan, hes readjusting to life at home,
and adjusting to driving again.
Capt. Lockman is assigned to the
634th Brigade Support Battalion headquar-
tered in Sullivan, and his unit, a part of the
Illinois National Guards 33rd Brigade, was
mobilized and deployed to Camp Phoenix, a
U.S. installation just outside Kabul,
Afghanistans capital city.
Over there, every day was like
groundhogs day, Lockman said referring to
the Bill Murray film about a reporter who
woke up every day only to learn it was
groundhogs day over and over again.
Duty days were anywhere from
12-18 hours long, every day, seven days a
week. The units mission was to provide
training and logistical support for the Afghan
army and national police, as well as support-ing Camp Phoenixs garrison command. As
the battalions supply officer, Lockmans job
was to deal with U.S. government contractors
and local vendors to meet operating needs.
For Capt. Lockman, his job in Afghanistan
was not a lot different from his fulltime job as
a logistician at Illinois Guard Headquarters at
Springfields Camp Lincoln.
According to Lockman, he was
treated well by the Afghan citizens he met and
with whom he dealt. Every now and then
there were some local language issues, but for
the most part, they treated us well. They were
trying to make a living off the government
selling goods and services to the base, so they
tended to be very courteous and polite.
The Illinois guardsmen had plenty
of time to prepare for their deployment sincethey received notice the brigade would be
called-up nearly 18 months ahead of their
mobilization date. For Lockman, though, his
job as a battalion staff officer meant he was
heavily involved in the planning stages and it
meant a lot of extra duty days away from
home as the unit prepared for mobilization.
There was a lot of travel, and a lot of extra
duty days and weekends, so it was almost like
being on active duty for two years instead of
one.
Even with the advance notice,
Lockman said it doesnt help you prepare for
things like being away from home for the hol-
idays, for birthdays, and celebrations. After
the unit was called up, they were sent to Fort
Bragg, North Carolina for additional pre-deployment training. When it came time for
the Thanksgiving holiday, Johns wife Julie
and his sons joined him for a last holiday get-
together at Myrtle Beach S.C. The Lockmans
said that helped ease the stress of the long
deployment to come.
Christmas, on the other hand, was
a different story. With their families now half
a world away, Lockman said he and his fellow
soldiers tried to treat Christmas as just anoth-
er work day. We tried not to think about it,
John said. He was at least able to phone home
and talk with his family.
On this side of the globe, Julie and
the boys decided to change their normal
Christmas routine. It was definitely differ-
ent, Julie said of the holiday. We spent
Christmas Eve at my parents house so it
wouldnt be just the three of us waking up on
Christmas morning.
Thy s Sv Wh St Wt
Serving a tour in a combat zone is
stressful enough for soldiers, and while the
issues they face are vastly different, the tour is
also difficult for the deployed soldiers fami-
lies.
It was definitely stressful, Julie
said of the changes that came with her hus-
bands call to duty. I wouldnt wish single
parenthood on anybody.
Julie said once Johns unit had
deployed, things that used to be easy to deal
with suddenly became more difficult. Child
care was suddenly an issue, she said. Julie,
who is a manager at Famous Footwear in
Jacksonvilles Lincoln Center, and John used
to work their schedules out to make sure there
was always someone available at home for
the boys. Without having John around, I sud-
denly found myself having to find someone to
watch the boys.
Besides working, I found myself
having to do two jobs. I had to be both Momand Dad, but we got through it. I had a good
support systema lot of people who came
together to help me through the year.
Asked if she had any advice for
Guard wives who may one day face a similar
situation, she offered these words: Take it
day by day. Theres only so much you can
plan for, only so much you can do. But theres
definitely a learning curve.
dut ltt os T
For young Carter Lockman, the life
without dad at home was hard. I was very
sad when Dad left, he said. And with a line
that seemed right out of the movie Field of
Dreams, he added I really missed my dad
playing baseball with me. (Three year-old
Sam Lockmans sentiments were probably
the same as his older brothers, but he had to
go nite-nite and was unavailable for com-
ment.)
a Tm t cm Hm
During their time in Afghanistan,
Lockman said he and a lot of other soldiers
tried not to pay attention to how long theyd
been in the country or how long they had left before they came home. We didnt spend a
lot of time counting days, he said. We paid
attention to certain bench marks, like were
inside 100 days to go, or 60 days to go. But
once we got inside 30 days to go, it seemed
like time really slowed down. I tried not to
even look at a calendar once we got inside 30
days.
Finally the time came for the plane
ride home, and Lockman said there was a lot
of anticipation for the wheels up feeling
when the plane left Kabul. That was a good
feeling, Lockman said of the take-off. But
the best feeling was when the pilo

Last Saturday night, while
sitting at the Irish Toad, a few mem-
bers of The Source staff took a
moment to really think. To think
about the weeks behind us and
those to come, but most important-
ly, about just how crazy that Ken
Bradbury might be.
We had just witnessed for
ourselves what some might call a
brief glimpse into the mind of that
local celebrity, and what a glimpse
it was. At the risk of offending or
misinterpreting him, KB, the cre-
ator and director of Pardon My
Shorts, (a series of short plays, with
music by Roger Wainwright, put on
this weekend in order to support the
Boys and Girls Club of Central
Illinois) and/or any of the cast,
which was, by the way, chock full
of Jacksonville royalty of sorts and
an amazing piano playerI will
attempt to review it with all of the
justice it deserves.
The opening short and
those to follow were not only well
performed, entertaining, and inmost cases as laugh-out-loud funny
as I am sure was the intention, but
they said something, taught a les-
son, or, at the very least, made you
open your eyes and take a look
around you.
In the beginning, during
Do Not Delete, we were given
what I can only imagine was to be a
peek into the mind of writers every-
where. Whether they be play-
wrights or other types of authors,
we had a chance to witness the
inner struggle that goes on, when
you are choosing whether to keepwritingor to delete those charac-
ters and scenes in your mind. This
opener set the stage and prepped
you for just under two hours of
thought-provoking humordotted
ever so carefully with several com-
munity members who graciously
stepped out of their comfort zones
to support a noble cause.
The rest of the first act
included three additional shorts,
one a look into life post death, with
subtle religious undertones, another
a hilarious two-man rendition of the
History of Mankind, and an all-
too-true Ten Minute Musical that
gently showcased the redundancyand predictability of the typical
three hour musical.
Act two continued in the
same light, with another, more
thoughtful, two-man performance,
an animated rendition of Hansel and
Gretel (with all of the accou-
trements), a lesson in the costs of
lifes varied adjustments, and an
opera portraying the angst of two
ancient museum busts who never
quite have the opportunity to have
the love they deserve.
In a sense, one might even
agree that the idea of brevity was
a theme throughout the night.Whether it be musicals, looks back
in history, operas, or self-analysis
and awareness of the world around
usperhaps KBs hope would be
that we would realize that life is too
short to spend too much time on any
one of these, or in the case of the
latter, that we take a brief amount of
time to get to the point where we
can take into account the needs of
others maybe even first and fore-
most to those of our own.
Normally, I would say If
you missed this, then catch it next
time, but sadly for you, this was aone weekend show. So until next
time (hint, hint, Ken Bradbury)

One of Illinois Colleges most important aspects is that it focuses on
enhancing the liberal arts in every student. IC prides itself on the fact that it
remains one of the few liberal arts colleges in the United States. I have been
attending IC for almost four years now, and I dont think I knew the true mean-
ing of liberal arts until just recently! Even though I feel like I should have
known this long ago, I dont think Im alone. I polled some of my fellow class-
mates and came to discover that only about one out of every five students knew
the true meaning, even though we all currently attend a liberal arts college.
I probably would not have even thought twice about this until I began
taking my Rhetorical Tradition class, taught by professor Adrienne Hacker-Daniels. Throughout the semester we have learned all about rhetoric and how
it stemmed from the seven original liberal arts. These seven arts were gram-
mar, rhetoric, logic, geometry, arithmetic, music, and astronomy. Its really
interesting how these have developed into the ones that we consider modern
liberal arts today.
Liberal arts, according to the ever-popular Wikipedia.com, is a cur-
riculum that imparts general knowledge and develops the students rational
thought and intellectual capabilities, unlike the professional, vocational, tech-
nical curricula emphasizing specialization. The contemporary liberal arts
include the study of literature, languages, philosophy, history, mathematics, and
science.
According to Illinois Colleges website, Academic courses teach the
skills students take with them to jobs and graduate programs. As part of a lib-
eral arts education, these courses also prepare students to think. The ability to
identify and solve problems is a hallmark of liberal arts graduates, prized by
employers everywhere. I agree with these statements because I feel like itsimportant to be knowledgeable about many different areas of study. Employers
are starting to look at how well a possible employee can adapt to change and if
they are skilled in many different areas, instead of focusing on specialized
skills.
Now that I know a little bit more about the liberal arts, I can definite-
ly appreciate the education that I am receiving from Illinois College. Liberal
arts has allowed me, personally, to develop skills in math, science, art, speech,
management, business, literature, and philosophy. Hopefully I can take these
skills with me and use them to ensure a successful future.

You may need some clarification about email if you use Outlook
Express or Windows Mail. Outlook Express is the Microsoft email program
that was a part of Windows XP and earlier versions of the operating system.
Microsoft also had a more comprehensive program as part of their Office Suite
that included an option called Outlook. It occurred to someone that the similar
names may be confusing, so in Windows Vista, Outlook Express was renamed
