LifeWorking raises $2K for<br />
therapeutic school in Lake Bluff<br />
Submitted by LifeWorking<br />
LifeWorking Enterprise<br />
announced it exceeded its<br />
targeted donation funds<br />
for Safe Haven School in<br />
Lake Bluff by 10 percent.<br />
LifeWorking partnered<br />
with Chicago Comedy<br />
All-Stars’ Comedians on<br />
Feb. 22, to bring laughter<br />
to the North Shore and<br />
raise funds for Safe Haven<br />
School, a local therapeutic<br />
school.<br />
Comedians, Tim Walkoe<br />
and James Wesley Jackson<br />
gave performances with<br />
nearly 100 patrons in attendance<br />
and crying tears<br />
of laughter.<br />
“To me and the Chicago<br />
Comedy All-Stars, the<br />
fun we have with generous<br />
people and the impact<br />
of the event makes<br />
it all worthwhile. Sharing<br />
laughter with people while<br />
supporting a great cause<br />
such as Safe Haven warms<br />
our hearts. It’s an honor to<br />
be involved,” said Richard<br />
Young, leader of the Chicago<br />
Comedy All-Stars.<br />
Founder of Safe Haven<br />
School, Holly Schaefer,<br />
talked to the group about<br />
the school and the type of<br />
students that attend Safe<br />
Haven School.<br />
These students are facing<br />
various challenges<br />
such as emotional disturbances,<br />
learning disabilities,<br />
autism and other<br />
health impairments. With<br />
state funded programs facing<br />
severe cutbacks, the<br />
money raised will help<br />
keep programs operating.<br />
The event raised $2,200<br />
in ticket sales and corporate<br />
donations.<br />
“The funds raised will<br />
go toward purchasing an<br />
interactive whiteboard for<br />
one of our classrooms,”<br />
Schaefer said. “This interactive<br />
technology has<br />
been in regular education<br />
classrooms for years.<br />
We’re so happy to be able<br />
to offer this to our students<br />
so their transition back to<br />
their home school will be<br />
as seamless as possible.”<br />

Letters To the editor<br />
Response to local National<br />
School Walkout<br />
I just finished reading<br />
the article about the Lake<br />
Forest High School students<br />
walking out during<br />
normal school hours.<br />
Point one: Any Lake<br />
Forest High School students<br />
who wants to<br />
live in a gun-free society,<br />
I will buy them a one-way<br />
ticket to North Korea.<br />
Maybe Lake Forest<br />
High School should teach<br />
the students about current<br />
events like the civil<br />
wars in Ukraine, Syria,<br />
Iraqui Kurdistan, etc. and<br />
ask any of those residents<br />
whether they need assault<br />
weapons to protect their<br />
family from ISIS and other<br />
extremist.<br />
The immigration problems<br />
in Europe are partially<br />
caused by citizens<br />
who did not have access<br />
to assault weapons in their<br />
home countries. There<br />
is nothing left to protect<br />
in many of those towns<br />
in Syria. Assault weapons<br />
are the final check,<br />
when there are extreme<br />
liberal governmental officials.<br />
Point two: I want my<br />
tax dollars back. I am<br />
paying for some of the<br />
most expensive teachers<br />
in the state. If you want<br />
to protest, on your own<br />
time, then I am fine with<br />
that activity, but if I am<br />
paying for the teachers,<br />
during normal school<br />
hours, and the students<br />
are walking out of class,<br />
then I want my tax dollars<br />
back.<br />
Dr. Chala Holland is<br />
way too liberal for this<br />
community, and the Lake<br />
Forest High School Board<br />
is not respecting the residents<br />
who are paying the<br />
bills.<br />
Do not forget that 50<br />
percent of the residents do<br />
not have students in the<br />
schools, but are paying<br />
some of the bills.<br />
Point three: We can<br />
agree to disagree but there<br />
are valid reasons for having<br />
assault weapons.<br />
Liberals are constantly<br />
trying to take our freedoms<br />
away and they are<br />
trying to rewrite history,<br />
like removing statues in<br />
the south.<br />
Maybe the liberals<br />
would like every statue<br />
in the United States removed,<br />
including the statue<br />
of Martin Luther King<br />
Jr., because everyone has<br />
faults.<br />
History is history. You<br />
can not change history.<br />
Liberals are trying to rewrite<br />
history to fit their<br />
ideology like in communist<br />
China, Russia and<br />
North Korea.<br />
