WELCOME ABOARD!

Greetings!

Here’s wishing everyone a Happy and Prosperous 2013. We all should stop and take a minute to be

thankful and to show some expression of love - even if it’s mental love, send a happy thought to someone

- because right now, this second is all we actually have.

Our hearts are heavy with the many unthinkable realities of this past year that we, as a Nation, have en-

dured, and endured we have. Innocence is no longer taken for granted, kindness is no longer a staple of

our lives, doing the right thing is no longer the norm...but we must refuse to lower our expectations

because if we do, those unthinkable realities become our expected/accepted realities and we cannot do

that to ourselves.

We are a lucky people to live and love in

this wonderful place - The UNITED

States of American.

I hope your holiday was as BLESSED as

mine.

On behalf of the entire JLMI Senior Man-

agement Team, Thank You for your sup-

port and outstanding service, you con-

tinuously make us Proud.

Happy New Year!

Well, it’s a new year and there will be new obstacles and

adventures to endure. Last year we pulled together and

tackled the Rock Island Contract. We are still dealing with

a few hurdles, but for the most part everything is running as

well as expected as we continue to learn from this contract.

You never know what the future holds, but we at JLMI

have high hopes for a prosperous year. I want to thank

everyone for a great 2012 and an even better 2013!

Recruiting New Personnel

Over the years, we have found that the best source for recruiting new JLMI personnel, is recom-

mendations from our current workforce. Please take the time to look at our current job openings

on the JLMI web page under Employment and recommend anyone you believe would be a good

fit for the position. Even when we don’t have a current opening, we are always looking for re-

sumes for future job opportunities. Please recommend JLMI to your friends and acquaintan-

ces and ask them to submit a resume and/or fill out a JLMI application for employment.

It is a New Year and time to get healthy.

Here are a few simple, practical tips for keeping fit

and healthy, mind and body.

1. Water: Essential for hydrating the body to keep

systems running smoothly. Also, try a fat-

burning green tea.

2. Breakfast: Do Not Skip! Breakfast gives the much-

needed fuel and energy to get moving throughout

the day and empowers daily activities.

3. Meals and Snacks: Plan meals and snacks with

healthy foods. Portion size is vital.

4. Fish Oil: Daily supplement can help burn up to an

additional 400 calories and also aid in preventing

the hardening of arteries that can lead to heart

disease.

5. Sleep: 7 to 8 hours of sleep is another necessity for

keeping fit and healthy. This is the time that

your body heals and prepares itself.

6. Emotional Fitness: Keeping your mind healthy is

just as important as physical fitness; this should

not be neglected.

7. Exercise: Exercise should be a part of your daily

life. It is vital in keeping your heart strong and

healthy. Walking does not cost a thing!

Heart disease is the No. 1 killer in women. Here are some unsettling facts: 1. Heart disease causes 1

in 3 women’s deaths each year, killing ap-proximately one woman every minute.

2. 90 percent of women have one or more risk factors for developing heart disease.

3. Since 1984, more women than men have died each year from heart disease and the gap between men and women’s survival con-tinues to widen.

4. The symptoms of heart disease can be differ-ent in women vs. men, and are often misun-derstood.

5. While 1 in 31 Ameri-can women die from breast cancer each year, 1 in 3 die of heart disease.
