Please REPOST trying to find a missing friend

DANA HAYES.

The car of a missing Park Forest woman was found abandoned Thursday night in Harvey, Il , police said today.

There was no evidence of foul play inside the car, but investigators from the South Suburban Major Crimes Task Force are searching the vehicle for any clues that might lead them to 35-year-old Dana Hayes, who was reported missing after she failed to show up for work Monday morning, police said.

Hayes was last seen after she left her home Monday morning and dropped her son off at Rich East High School in the 300 block of Sauk Trail in Park Forest.

Relatives who reported her missing told police it was out of character for her to miss work or leave without notifying family members of her whereabouts, Park Forest Deputy Chief Mike McNamara said earlier this week.

McNamara declined to give the exact location where investigators found the car, a silver 2005 Kia Spectra.

"We located her car on 159th Street in Harvey and found no evidence of a struggle or foul play taking place inside the vehicle," McNamara added.

Hayes is described as a 5-foot-2 African-American weighing 135 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes.

Anyone who might have information that can aid the investigation is urged to contact Detective Brian Rzyski or Deputy Chief Mike McNamara at 708-748-1309 or 708-748-8390.

Moving forward in 2010 STOP IT!

Guys this is just a plea for understanding. Last year was filled with a lot of love for our favorite artist. Several people decided to show their love through imitation. I have to ask you all to please STOP IT! So, here it are a couple of things that just need to stop.

The most flagrant foul

Beyonce is the shit!

Offense 1

They look like shit!

Wearing Leotards isn't a fashion move. Leotards are simply B's new thing. They are custom made for her. If B has a little extra body that day, it is hidden very well and you will never see it. If you don't have a stylist and aren't preforming on stage, DON'T WEAR LEOTARD IN PUBLIC.

GRACE was the one who originally made them go
GAGA

I am a huge STRANGE fan and it has totally killed me to see the legacy of Strange go up in flames. Literally from Lady Gaga's piano to her costumes. It would seem that Lady Gaga needs to put a "Nipple on the bottle" when it comes to stomping with the big girl.

Then came the over kill. Let me start off by giving props. Lady Gaga can sing her little but off. Her talent will never be doubted. I love her sudo round the way creativity but... there can be only one lady that made them go gaga and that's Grace.

Offense 2

What the hell!
This is not a monstrous woman she is actually rather cute.

SEE

What have you seen in 2009 that we should just day STOP IT to. I will add more as I fine the images to update you!

Meanwhile what's on your mind?

The great COP debate

Ok, so I had and issue today which prompted me to make that statement below. What happened to me is as simple as a cop lied to me about the way something would be handled. I despise liars. It's not the 1st time it has happened. I had no way to know that it would spark a great debate, to my surprise which included one of the good apples in the bushel of cops. I know there are good cops but I keep running into the bad one. Not all of my occurrences are for legal issues, some were just happening to see them off duty at gatherings and such.

Let me give you and example. I was driving down 95th street here in Chicago when I saw a Marathon gas station being robbed. I did everything a civilian is supposed to do. I called 911. While was stuck at an abnormally long red light and was able to witness the robbers going in and as they exited. As 2 of the criminals ran out (three went in) a cop car pulled up next to me. I waved to get them to roll down their window. When they finally did I told them the gas station was being robbed. They told me "I'm off duty now" while they were still in the cop car. I was in shock the light turned green and got on the expressway and hoped the person inside wasn't hurt. "Serve and Protect" yeah ok.

These are some of the comments my facebook post prompted.

Dazelle Yvette I hate cops... how are we supposed to trust to let them serve and protect when they lie to you. THe bastards!

Unless it is to give a ticket or some other money making objective, the police rarely offers assistance. The lack of respect that members of the police force complain about comes from them moving away from what they are supposed to be doing, protecting and serving, and instead looking for ways to raise funds for the department.
Sad that there are more bad apples than good in the bushel...

and what to do when you need assitance from cops themselves....if I kill someone I go to jail. If they kill someone they take a nice vacation with pay.

Don't knock it unless you live it as they do, it is always easy to give opinions from the outside

My my views is not based on opinions is based on personal experience with them. As much as some may wanna live in a fantasy world...not every cops is honest. Just like not every cops is a bad one not everyone is an honest one. There is a lot of documented history of cops being locked up for being dirty....those are facts not opinions. I work with law enforcement as well so my opinions are also from the inside.

Liz Sachnoff

hmmm... how to answer. The truth is that they would rather give a ticket (get ur $$) than protect you. They find time to show up in court for your stop sign violation, but cant find the drug dealer that is blowing trees in their face! Y when taxpayer money is suppose to cover their expenses, do they have quotas on tickets to fill? Someone defend that!!

Amen, because it is normal to stand on a corner of an abandoned building at 3am where no buses run, and it's 10 degrees outside and they drive by to give us a ticket for a tail light out. Go figure, I worked on that side and it is stupid...

Why our children need proactive parents.

So, I have come to understand why I say on my son's teacher's all the time. It pays to be proactive. I got a notice that my son was receiving and F in English...the language he speaks and Literature...the language he read. This was more than alarming to me so I sent his teachers an email to get a full understand of what was going on. Its no wonder why some kids struggle in public schools. I moved to share the emails that were exchanged between one of his teachers and myself.

Before reading this I have to say he was missing assignments they have since been turned in and he has been restored to the A-B student I have always know he is.

Without further ado...
FROM ME
Hello,
I am more than a little concerned because I got a report that states Austin is receiving a F in English. I have not heard from anyone and I have no idea why this is the case. Communication has seemed to come to a total halt. I can only work with you all if there is communication and if it is constant. With that said. Can you all please let me know what is missing, late, and or needs to be corrected.

FROM HIS TEACHER
Hello-
Thank you so much for your email regarding Austin's grades. You are correct that Austin has an 'F' in English. He turned in one assignment very late and received 15/30 pts. However, currently he has 0 pts for his Greek God and Goddess Domain project that was due on 12/2. I have asked him at least three times for it and he has said everything from he left it at home, to my mom is checking it. We are now in 2nd quarter and I feel it is time that Austin begins to take responsibility for his work. Ms. TEACHER is there to help him get packed up at the end of the day, and then Mrs. TEACHER is there as well to double check his homework. Are hope is that you can log on to PowerSchool to check Austin's grades, and missing assignments as frequently as you would like. This will allow you to have a better idea as to what assignments Austin has/has not turned in, as well as his current grades for all of his classes.
I also wanted to let you know that Ms. TEACHER will be emailing you as well. Austin was apart of her book club, and did not turn in his journal, which was a major part of his grade. Ms. TEACHER asked him multiply times for this, and again he did not turn it in. His current grade for book club is 250/ 500 which is a 50%, this is a major part of his Literature grade, which will cause him to have an 'F' in Literature as well. Please encourage him to get this journal into Ms. TEACHER, as soon as possible.
I hope this helps answer your questions. We are all looking for Austin to take responsibility for his work and turn it in when it is late. Please use PowerSchool to help keep track of the assignments that he is missing as well as his grades. Please let me know if you

HOLD UP...No this trick didn't!
FROM ME
Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to respond to my email. I am more than sure that Austin brought his assignment about the Gods and Goddesses to school because I helped him with it. If things are getting twisted as to which assignment is which then I would need some clarification. As I have been from the beginning of school I am a very proactive parent in my son's education. I am sure you are aware of that. Austin has an IEP to assist in these manners, as a matter of fact, we had a meeting to specifically add homework help. The IEP gave him extra time to write down his assignments and Mrs. TEACHER to assist at the end of the day. If Austin were able to do these things without assistance he would not have an IEP. There are several days that Austin's assignment book comes home not signed. I have no idea if he was assisted or not. I spoke with you in the beginning of the year about the homework page on the website. I even offer help to update it if needed. It was barely updated and that is why Mrs. TEACHER was added to the homework help process. If Mrs. TEACHER is to double check his homework then I have never heard anything to the tune that his work wasn't being turned in. Getting Austin at a level where he can be self sufficient is the goal but surely you don't expect that to happen in one quarter. IEPs are not put in place to work in one quarter. I am well aware that I can check the PowerSchool site but I only used that when we were having problems and I was alerted of such issues. So, having said that, I would love if we can go back to our communication level we had at the beginning of the school year. I know it's extra work but it's why we had a meeting to institute an IEP for my son int the first place.

Respectfully Yours
Dazelle
My thing is if you are going to try and be snippy... as an English teacher where in the hell did you get your degree... Don't be an ass if you're not going to spell or grammar check. Now, I know I make my share of errors but dang!

Sound off! Whatcha got to say?

It could have been any of us

I know it's been a minute since I wrote on the web. I have a lot to post so let's get it.

I was watching the news tonight which is something I try to avoid because I find it depressing.

Tonight I was drawn to this story because it could have been anyone to have fall victim to Maury Travis. This was a man resembled nothing less than a monster, he was a serial killer. By tracking Mapquest's search engine they pinpointed the IP address of 33-year-old Maury Travis, he was captured finally but not before claiming between 12 and 20 women's lives. It is still unclear as to how many women actually lost their lives at his hands and we will never really know. Three days after his capture he hung himself in prison.

He not only killed these women but he tortured, raped, and video tape the acts. The videos released showed that he terrified his victim and forced them to completely submit to him before their lives were taken untimely at his hands. Travis could be heard telling one victim, "I can't hear you! Say it clear!" She responded, "You are the master it pleases me to serve you"
There are 3 women who have yet to be identified but the more the pictures circulate the better the chances become for a families to have closure.

I find it terrifying that people like this live amongst us and can blend in just as the friendly neighbor everyone loves. Please people be aware of your surroundings your life is to precious.
