They applied for a permit which was denied because no one was buried there. Waiting until a man died, they had the body buried on the land. They again applied for a permit and certified that there was a body buried there. This time the permit was given. Later, when US Route 41 was to be constructed, the body was in it's path. It was moved to a spot near the middle of the cemetery and a plaque placed on the grave. The first interment was of Edward Bonapart "Bone" Hogan on 10 July 1945. There are people buried here who died before the cemetery was established, but they have all been moved in from other places. The first of tese died on 31 July 1882.

Rev. 658 (1974) Available at: https://via.library.depaul.edu/law-review/vol23/iss2/5 This Article is brought to you for free and open access by the College of Law at Via Sapientiae. It has been accepted for inclusion in DePaul Law Review by an authorized editor of Via Sapientiae. For more information, please contact [email protected]. ADVICE AND DISSENT: DUE PROCESS OF THE SENATE Luis Kutner* The Watergate affair demonstrates the need for a general resurgence of the Senate's proper role in the appointive process. In order to understand the true nature and functioning of this theoretical check on the exercise of unlimited Executive appointment power, the author proceeds through an analysis of the Senate confirmation process. Through a concurrent study of the Senate's constitutionally prescribed function of advice and consent and the historicalprecedent for Senatorial scrutiny in the appointive process, the author graphically describes the scope of this Senatorialpower. Further, the author attempts to place the exercise of the power in perspective, sug- gesting that it is relative to the nature of the position sought, and to the na- ture of the branch of government to be served. In arguing for stricter scrutiny, the author places the Senatorial responsibility for confirmation of Executive appointments on a continuum-the presumption in favor of Ex- ecutive choice is greater when the appointment involves the Executive branch, to be reduced proportionally when the position is either quasi-legis- lative or judicial.

  • Ola Onabule Press Release
    PRESS RELEASE FOR OLAONABULE, 2011 ALBUM, SEVEN SHADES DARKER OLA ONABULÉ Press Release - www.olasmusic.com 2011 will see the release of British singer and songwriter, Ola Onabule's 7th studio album entitled 'SEVEN SHADES DARKER' . The album features 14 tracks that will only solidify Ola's growing reputation as one of the finest singer songwriters writing today. Grooves undoubtedly rooted in the Soul and Blues of the late sixties and early Seventies make an unlikely but easy peace with mournful, complex African melodic lines. On other tracks, wailing distorted guitars cling to the helter-skelter ride of poly-rhythmic time signatures that seem to unsettle and soothe the ear in equal measures. Seemingly conventional 4/4 grooves beguile with inviting familiarity whilst slipping potent lyrical nuggets under the radar of our assumptions. Ballads are new requiems, odes to the passing of loved ones, Funky jaunts document the ebbing away of precious time, and deal with jealousy, cowardice, loss of identity and the world through the eyes of an unwanted visitor is set to the galloping gait of an african church hymn. Ola, in very fine voice, twists and turns at every step, eluding definition and revelling in all his gifts like a child, celebrating this rare feat in the modern recording era of a seventh album! The sweet irony for Ola must be that this steadily progressing career is indeed a gift to himself. Spanning almost two decades, it is a career carved out of a presentiment that the currently prevailing DIY ethics were going to be the way things would be done; ...OLA knew that keeping his music alive meant self building studio's, setting up labels and touring his band extensively when major label support was either absent or undesirable.

  • Tension Increases As Veto Session Nears G TE SOSIN Amon by KA Ic Headed Meny D from LGBT Groupsr Ythese Optimist Days
    WCT TALKS WITH TONY WINNER AUDRA MCDONALD WINDY CITY THE VOICE OF CHICAGO’S GAY, LESBIAN, BI AND TRANS COMMUNITY SINCE 1985 OCT. 16, 2013 VOL 29, NO. 3 PAGE 23 www.WindyCityMediaGroup.comTIMES Tension increases as KAMENY AMONG veto session nears THOSE HONORED BY KATE SOSIN AT LEGACY It’s a familiar line from LGBT groups these days. PROJEct’S “Our sense is that we’re feeling very optimistic headed DEDICATION into veto session,” said Ed Yohnka, director of com- munications for the American Civil Liberties Union of page 5 Illinois. But how close, neither sponsors nor LGBT leaders will say. “There isn’t a lot of new information just yet,” said Bernard Cherkasov, CEO of Equality Illinois, adding that he does not have a firm roll call. “Springfield sometimes works in mysterious ways.” Sponsors have just two windows of time to pass equal marriage legislation through the house if they want to make good on a promise to call the bill during veto ses- sion. They can call for a vote during the week of Oct. 22. Nov. 5-7 will provide the other opportunity. Rep. Greg Harris, chief sponsor of the bill, predicted a vote during veto session, after spring session ended without a vote May 31.

This year, as in each year since the Arts Education Plan was released, the progress report identifies some important gains. Foremost among these is that a higher percentage of CPS schools than ever before, serving a higher share of CPS students than ever before, are meeting the criteria to be rated as Strong or Excelling in the arts. This achievement is particularly encouraging considering the financial challenges the district has faced in recent years.
