— OUTSTANDING: Towns should send a message on marijuana – Bill Deckard,
Winfield
https://www.dailyherald.com/discuss/20190624/towns-should-send-a-message-on-marijuana
(FROM THE LETTER: So,
recreational marijuana will soon be legal in Illinois. But as the Daily Herald
helpfully reminds us in their lead article on June 17 and in their editorial on
June 19, there’s nothing to stop local cities, towns or villages from outlawing
the sale of marijuana within their own city limits. Communities have done just
that with things like video gambling and various “adult” businesses,
so why not add marijuana to the list? Wouldn’t it be great if a significant
number of Illinois communities chose not to profit from this deadly trade? If
you are a city council member and have opposed the legalization of marijuana,
why not do the courageous thing and vote against allowing its sale in your
jurisdiction? As for the rest of us, let’s let our city officials know where we
stand. One of the worst things about legalizing marijuana is the message it
sends to young people, that getting high is no big deal. Keeping it off the
store shelves in your municipality may mean foregoing a few tax dollars, but it
will get the message to your children that smoking dope is not a good thing.)

delicate decision – Sue Shellenbarger (DIERSEN: How many job offers did you
have when you earned your bachelor’s degree? I accepted the only job offer that
I got, it was from Firestone’s regional office: Retail Sales Manager in
Firestone’s Chicago Heights store. Employers were discouraged from offering me
a job because I was draft bait. They did not believe that my application for a
financial hardship draft deferment would be approved. My Firestone job did not
really require a college degree. The store manager disapproved of my following demographics:
Republican, draft avoider, German American, and Missouri Synod Lutheran. He
refused to let me start until I passed a probationary period working for the
Firestone Store in Gary, Indiana. After I had worked for him for 7 months, he
rudely fired me when I gave him my 2-week notice that I had accepted a job
offer from Oldsmobile.)

Tom Vander Ark (DIERSEN: What work experience did you gain before you started

summer of 1966. What work experience did you gain while you attended college? I
delivered mail 1966-1969 and worked on an automobile assembly line and as a
security guard in 1970.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: 1.
Get work experience in high school (and college, if you go). Ironically, the
most important first step may have nothing to college. The best way to build
work skills is to work. The best way to find out what kind of work you like
(and hate) is to work. The best way to inform your postsecondary choices is to
work. Get whatever work experiences you can—site visits, job shadows,
client-related projects, internships and summer jobs. Try to get paid where you
can—you’ll need the money. A growing number of high schools are using the
Imblaze app from Big Picture to manage student internships. Over 14 million
college students use the Handshake network to find internships (and then jobs)
with more than 800 corporate partners.)
