ALERT!!
Gerber Baby Food
Savings Bond
(http://www.gerber.com)
CAUTION!! A note has been sent home with
school children indicating that a class action law suit against
Gerber has been settled and children born within a specific time
frame are eligible for a $500 Savings Bond. Parents are
asked to send a copy of their child's birth certificate and social
security number.
A check at the Gerber Web Page indicates that this
is a fake! FBI agents are monitoring the P.O. Box and
returning the letters unopened. Criminals are selling these
birth certificates and social security numbers to aliens to enable
them to enter the U.S.
Please do not send your child's birth certificate
or social security number to anyone!!

Cook,
Illini give Self first victory
By Jeff
Mayfield
[NOV.
18, 2000]
Though
Brian Cook and his Illinois teammates got off to a sluggish start,
once they got rolling it all added up to an 86-57 win over the Black
Bears of Maine. Coach
Bill Self became the 13th head coach in Illini history to
become victorious in his career opener.
In fact, Illinois head coaches are 13-2 in all-time career
openers. As for Cook,
he started off rather slowly as he did not score until the contest
was 12 minutes old. He
did not get very many first half touches and by the break had
registered 5 points on 2 of 4 shooting to go along with 2 rebounds.

Celebrating
America Recycles Week
Buying recycled is key to recycling success
[NOV.
18, 2000]
The
average American generates nearly 1,500 pounds of trash each year, creating more
than 200 million tons of waste annually in the United States. However, because
more Americans are recycling, the nation’s recycling rate is now more than 28
percent. This means the steel, aluminum, paper, glass and plastic we place at
curbside or drop-off sites are really making a difference in reducing our nation’s
waste.
