R.O.K. Island Splash celebrated its grand opening with a ribbon cutting on Friday, September 11. Located at 132 Sibley Blvd. in Dolton, IL (the former Village of Dolton Media center), R.O.K. will wash and detail you car while you wait in their attractive waiting room. A big screen TV plays jazz videos (Sade was singing Sweetest Taboo), and a pool table waits for a quick game. One wall is completely covered with artificial greenery for a cool, soothing environment. A vending machine offers candy, salty snacks and drinks. Call Quintin Lambert at 708-880-1469 about the $15 spotless wash, the $22 premium wash, or the $70 premium wash & wax. And the car wash is not the only new business at this location—upstairs in the same building is a salon (pictured below) where ladies can enjoy a hairstyling; candles and body rubs are sold in a small display. One door down is a dreads station for those who have or want dreadlocks. Behind the next door is an art shoe shop, where Cameron Sweeney (bottom left) can decorate your shoes or offer a selection of his own custom creations. Downstairs at the counter, End Game Nutrition offers Metabolife sports nutrition, weight loss, supplements for new moms, and many other products, along with Brandon Davis’ nine years of expertise at meeting your health and wellness needs. Come in this month for half off the Specialty Shake in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness! Owner manager Kamal Woods (pictured at left in the white jacket) owns several Dolton businesses and is himself an artist (you can see his art on the upstairs wall).

The Illiana Cat Project to Host Online Fall Festival The Illiana Cat Project is a Lansing-based trap, neuter, return (TNR) initiative, run entirely by a small group of volunteers. All donations fund their efforts to trap, neuter, and re-home community cats. As kitten season winds down, the Illiana Cat Project has focused their efforts on a new fundraising project—the Fall Fur Festival: an online vendor fair, aimed at providing a bit of familiarity to the upcoming fall season as well as exposure to local business and artisans. The Fall Fur Festival is a vendor fair that will take place entirely online from October 9-16, 2020. Vendors will utilize a Facebook group to market their goods and services through posts and live video. Shoppers will peruse the Facebook group, just as they would stroll through an outdoor vendor fair, but the online format will allow for the safety of all participants. Prizes, games, and giveaways will also take place throughout the week. “Vendors can sell their goods or offer deals to funnel

shoppers to their personal website or business,” said Illiana Cat Project team member Maleesa Losnedahl. “We are envisioning a diverse lineup of vendors and while we may not be able to set up our booth on a fall day, we hope this online event can provide a touch of that fall fest experience.” Lead humane trapper Megan Noort is incredibly grateful for the outpouring of community support over the summer: “We appreciate each and every supporter for the compassion they’ve put towards our mission to help community cats. And every dollar is important because many one dollar donations can add up really fast and these kittens and cats are able to be spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and get the vet care that they wouldn’t normally get.” Fall Fur Fest vendor registration is open until September 30. To register, or for more information, visit www.illianacatproject. com. Shoppers can begin joining the Fall Fur Festival group on October 1.

Lansing’s Big Splash PR Firm SSC to offer Webinar on Wins Gold and Silver Awards Sexual Harassment at Work The Business & Career Institute (BCI) of South Suburban College presents a webinar entitled Crucial Conversations: Recognizing & Addressing Sexual Harassment in the Workplace (A Virtual Webinar) on Tuesday, September 29th from 9:00 – 10:00 am and again on Wednesday, September 30th from 12:00 – 1:00 pm. Allegations of sexual harassment and workplace misconduct have permeated the news in the last few years. As a result, Governor Pritzker mandated all Illinois businesses to provide sexual harassment training for all employees at least once a year, starting in 2020. Behavioral health occupations requiring an Illinois license are also mandated to attend this training. In the webinar, HR Consultant Alexandra Glumac will address three important questions: • What is sexual harassment? • What do you do if you experience or witness it? and; • Whose responsibility is it to stop it? Attendees will receive 1.0 continuing education credits Licensed Professional Above: Carolyn Jacobs (left) and Pat Kremer, partners in Lansing-based Big Splash PR, were honored with Gold and Silver Trumpet Awards. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

BY MELANIE JONGSMA Big Splash Public Relations, located in Lansing, Illinois, has won both a Golden Trumpet Award and a Silver Trumpet Award at the Publicity Club of Chicago’s Annual Awards Celebration held September 10. The event, usually held in the Ballroom of the Chicago Palmer House, was held virtually for the first time in its history due to COVID-19. The awards recognize “excellence in media relations” for two professional productions at Theatre at the Center in Munster, Indiana, during the 2019 season. “Shopping Around for a Fun Religion,” the winning entry for a Golden Trumpet Award, celebrated the successful PR campaign surrounding Theatre at the Center’s production of Over the Tavern. (See Over the Tavern brings religion, family, and laughs to Theatre at the Center, posted July 30, 2019.) “The area’s Catholic community was key to making Over the Tavern a huge success,” said Pat Kremer, co-owner of Big Splash with Carolyn Jacobs. Actress Janet Ulrich Brooks received a Joseph Jefferson nomination for her performance as the formidable Sister Clarissa, and Kremer believes that focusing on that character paid off as part of the PR strategy. A photo shoot held at St. Ann’s Grade School in Lansing—and covered exclusively by The Lansing Journal—kicked off the public relations campaign. (See St. Ann Catholic School hosts photo shoot for Theatre at the Center, posted May 30, 2019.) The location was chosen because it had the look and feel of a sixth-grade classroom in 1959, the setting depicted in Over the Tavern, and images captured by local photographer Guy Rhodes were used throughout the campaign. Pat Kremer and Carolyn Jacobs enlisted pastors of Catholic churches throughout the area to serve as ambassadors and influencers who spread the news about the play with mentions in weekly church bulletins. Local area businesses, including stores in downtown Lansing, displayed posters. And large church carnivals, Bingo events, and summer festivals that coincided with the timing of the play

offered ticket giveaways. The Publicity Club also honored the work of Big Splash with a Silver Trumpet Award to recognize their success in promoting Irving Berlin’s White Christmas, Theatre at the Center’s 2019 holiday musical production. The team broke a 30-year record in ticket sales, with final box office sales of 13,073 tickets, including subscriptions, group sales, and individual tickets. More information about Kremer, Jacobs, and Big Splash PR is available by contacting them directly at their Lansing, Illinois, headquarters: Call: 312-523-9357 Email: pkremer@bigsplashpr.com Visit: bigsplashpr.com About Big Splash PR Prior to starting Big Splash Public Relations in 2007, Pat Kremer and Carolyn Jacobs worked for 12 years at Chicago’s Field Museum, where they garnered national and international media coverage for projects such as Sue the Dinosaur, King Tut, Jacqueline Kennedy, Cleopatra, Cartier, and The Art of the Motorcycle. Today they help companies make a “big splash” even with a small budget, by setting up partnerships with local and national businesses, tapping into timely promotional opportunities, and synchronizing paid advertising campaigns. Their insightful strategy and hard work have proven to maximize the overall impact of a PR campaign, and measurable results demonstrate a profile of integrated marketing at its best. Founded in 1941, the Publicity Club of Chicago is celebrating its 79th year as the largest independent, membership-based public relations organization in North America. This year also marks the 61st anniversary of the Golden Trumpet Awards competition, the Premier Awards Competition for Chicago’s PR and Communications Professionals. During its illustrious history, PCC’s goal has remained the same: to elevate the profession of public relations in Chicago and the Midwest.

CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS Child welfare officials in Illinois told a panel of state lawmakers Monday that the COVID-19 pandemic has hindered but not completely prevented their efforts to monitor children at risk of abuse or neglect. “Without question, the pandemic has been and continues to be extremely challenging for all of us, both personally and professionally,” Marc Smith, acting director of the Illinois Department of Children and Families, told a Senate panel during a virtual meeting Monday. “But everyone who works for, or in partnership with us has kept their eyes on our mission to keep children safe.” Smith said one of the first things DCFS did was to move its child abuse reporting hotline, officially known as the State Central Register, to a remote environment so that employees could answer the phones from their homes. Gayle Hopper, who manages the hotline, said the people who answer those phones have been working remotely since March 23. “The hotline today continues to work remotely and staff are working from home every day,” Hopper said. Hopper noted that there was a sharp decline in the number of reports received from “mandatory reporters” – which are licensed professionals such as teachers and health care workers who are required by law to report cases of suspected abuse or neglect – especially during the early weeks of the pandemic. In response, she said, agency officials reached out to members of the American Pediatrics Association and to the Illinois State Board of Education to instruct doctors and teachers about how to report to the hotline, even when they were only seeing children remotely.

District 215 to Hold Public Hearing; Seeks to Sell Bonds The Board of Education of Thornton Township High School District Number 215 plans to hold a public hearing on September 22 at 6:00pm. The purpose of the hearing will be to receive public comments on the proposal to sell bonds in the amount of $6,500,000 for the purpose of increasing the working cash fund of the District.

The hearing will be held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The link to join the hearing will be posted on the District 215 website at tfd215.org 48 hours in advance of the meeting. Public comment can be emailed to dnewman@tfd215.org by noon the day of the meeting.

By July and August, she said, call volume began to pick up again, even exceeding the numbers reached during the same months in 2019, even though the total number of calls this year is about 18 percent lower than last year. “This can be attributed to the increase of reporting by law enforcement, by the steady reporting of medical professionals, and the community observing or reporting first-hand information of child maltreatment,” she said. Mike Lubelfeld, superintendent of the North Shore School District 112 in Highland Park, said the pandemic has been challenging for teachers and others who were only able to meet their students remotely this spring. But he said his district has come up with other solutions. “Just out of an abundance of caution, we literally had secretaries, social workers, teacher’s aides and a family specialist doublechecking in with children and families, just to make sure everybody was okay,” he said. “So I’m not going to say we’ve had no findings (of abuse or neglect). We have had less. Part of it is because we don’t have control, so to speak, of the kids being with us, but I think that our families do work with us.” Officials with private agencies that provide child welfare services on contract with DCFS said they have faced similar challenges. Bill Steinhauser, president and CEO of Bethany for Children and Families, a social service agency that serves the Quad Cities area, said case workers at that agency are doing what they can to stay in contact with families. “They basically are staying in contact through either FaceTime or Google Meet, but also going out, directly talking to families, practicing social distancing and wearing a mask. It’s kept them all safe,” he said. But Steinhauser noted that Illinois families have suffered unique financial and emotional strains during the pandemic, which has affected children’s welfare. “Our families are experiencing economic stress, and also just not very familiar with being around each other all that often,” he said. “And that stress as well as economic stress are causing our families to do as any other family, which is experience dysfunction. And also they’re trying to escape from the reality of COVID-19. “We’re also seeing an increase in substance abuse, and mental health seems to be aggravated or intensified. And those services, because of where we’re located, are difficult for many families to access.” Monday’s hearing was considered a “subject matter” hearing only, which means the committee was not considering substantive legislation. But the information could become the basis of legislation that the General Assembly could take up during the fall veto session, which begins in November.

Gov. Pritzker Announces $16 Million Investment to Connect Unemployed Illinoisans with 1,300 COVID-19 Response Jobs protocol workers, building sanitization workers, temperature screeners, and food preparation and distribution workers identified by local communities. The State will distribute funding to 12 Local Workforce Innovation Areas (LWIAs) spanning 7 regions across Illinois. State of Illinois LWIAs represent employers, local government, community colleges, and community-based organizations which partner with DCEO to provide year-round training and support to communities across the state. DCEO will partner with local workforce agency partners to assist with filling roles in high need industry areas evolving as a result of COVID-19. The 1,300 positions represent a mix of new and existing roles – with Disaster Recovery grants supporting contact tracers, community health coordinators, food distribution and emergency pantry workers, and COVID-19 custodians. Employment Recovery grant funds will be leveraged to seek out low-wage dislocated workers

Governor Pritzker announced a new $16.6 million investment to expand job opportunities for Illinoisans who have lost their jobs during the COVID-19 pandemic. Through two new grants received from the U.S. Department of Labor, the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) will distribute funding to place, train, and hire nearly 1,300 residents for an array of jobs related to the ongoing pandemic response. The funding includes an $8.3 million grant from the federal Disaster Recovery Grant Program and an $8.3 million grant from the federal Employment Recovery Grant – both part of the National Dislocated Worker Program. The grants will provide out of work Illinoisans with training and employment in jobs that assist local disaster relief programs and industries in high demand amidst the pandemic. Funded positions include COVID-19 recovery-related temporary jobs to help mitigate COVID-19 in communities, such as contact tracers, COVID-19

and provide vocational training and work-based learning that provides skills and competencies in expanding occupations and industries connected to the COVID-19 response. Training and hiring for new workforce programs are expected to begin this fall, with the start time of each program varying by location. Participants will either undergo some form of training and/or receive supportive employment services, with many beginning jobs shortly after training is complete. Local workforce agencies will prioritize applicants impacted by layoff or termination during the COVID-19 crisis at the time of their application. A full list of COVID-19 workforce training grantees as well as their program offerings is available on the DCEO website as well as Get Hired Illinois – the state’s one-stop-shop portal to connect Illinoisans with available training and hiring opportunities with growing industries during the COVID-19 crisis.

Napleton River Oaks Auto Dealership Hopes to Demolish Old Fannie May Structure as Part of Expansion

Napleton plans to utilize the currently unused space for its automobile inventory. The Planning and Zoning Board has approved the plan, which is slated to go before the Village Board on September 15th. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

BY JOSH BOOTSMA Stefanie Day, a representative from the Napleton River Oaks Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram car dealership, came before the Lansing Planning and Zoning Board on September 9 and explained the dealership’s intent to round out its property on the corner of Torrence Avenue and 173rd Street. Use of the expanded property will necessitate the demolition of the unused Fannie May building currently occupying the high-profile corner. The property is currently owned by an

Expansion onto the corner property at Torrence and 173rd St. will require the demolition of the old Fannie May building. (Photo: Josh Bootsma) –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

LLC, according to Day. “[We’ll start] as soon as possible. As soon as we get approval, we’ll actually get the lease and we’ll go in for a demo permit and whatever else is needed to get it going,” she said. Day was asked by the Planning and Zoning Board if there were plans in place to alter the driveways leading into the corner property. Day said Napleton River Oaks would be unable to change the curb structure but would likely put up safety bollards to keep cars from attempting to pass through.

“It’s going to give us a better view from the street, and we can put more cars there and hopefully have more sales,” Day said. The Planning and Zoning Board voted unanimously to recommend that the Village Board approve the necessary special use permit for Napleton River Oaks. The issue will come before the Village Board on its September 15 meeting. Village Board meetings and Committee of the Whole meetings take place at the Lansing Municipal Court Complex (the police station) at 2710 170th Street.

Prevent Political Discussions From Polarizing Your Workplace Much has been written about political polarization in the U.S. and how a heated political climate has drawn a line in the sand between voters. But heading into the 2020 presidential election, selfcensorship also is on the rise—including at the workplace, where some people fear sharing their political views. Nearly a third of employed Americans worry they could lose their jobs or be passed over for career advancements if their political opinions become known, according to a Cato Institute survey. For business leaders trying to build a strong culture, knowing how to manage political expression and discussions in the workplace is critical, says Joel Patterson (www.JoelPatterson. com), a workplace culture expert, founder of The Vested Group and ForbesBooks author of The Big Commitment: Solving The Mysteries Of Your ERP Implementation. “Unfortunately, things have gotten so divisive that even if somebody just wears a shirt or makes an innocuous comment, somebody is going to get upset,” Patterson says. “When people at work are afraid to say anything political, that fearfulness isn’t conducive to a cohesive work environment. Rather than ignore it or futilely try to shutter it, business owners and managers are better off having a plan to deal with the political dynamic so it won’t disrupt their business and

to invite arguments,” Patterson says. “Making sure that office TVs, especially in the break room, are not tuned to political programs is an easy preventive measure. Sometimes the news and panel discussions get people wound up.” De-escalate, don’t instigate. As a manager or business owner, employees will be watching to see how you handle a heated political conversation between workers. “Try to cool things off and lead by example,” Patterson says. “If the employees persist, tell them that their loud conversation is distracting to a productive work environment. If someone you work with is expressing a viewpoint that doesn’t coincide with yours, a mental note to yourself to agree to disagree often does the trick.” “Handling political talk isn’t something business owners and managers should be afraid of,” Patterson says. “It’s an opportunity to ease the tension their employees feel and remind them that no matter their differences, they can remain strong together.” Joel Patterson (www.JoelPatterson.com) is the founder of The Vested Group, a business technology consulting firm in the Dallas, Texas area. He has worked in the consulting field for over 20 years. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from Baylor University.

drive their employees apart.” Patterson offers tips to help business leaders manage political discussions and tensions, and keep politics in proper perspective, in the workplace: Make company culture the first priority. Having an established set of company core values is highly beneficial in giving your team a framework for how they interact with peers, clients, and other professional contacts externally, Patterson says. “If you have a solid workplace culture, then core values like respect for others, including respect for others’ opinions, will carry the day and overcome political disagreements,” he says. “An emphasis on core values reminds everyone that they are all on the same team.” Give flexibility – within reason. “Most people don’t want or expect a formal workplace policy related to politics in the workplace,” Patterson says. “The leadership team of your business needs to let employees know they are valued as individuals while emphasizing that leaving politics out of the workplace is the best practice for all involved. Let your employees know you are flexible with their comfort level, but they are also accountable for how they conduct themselves as a representative of your company.” Keep political programs off the office TVs. “You don’t want

Westchester’s Seida Seeks U.S. Senate Seat via Write-In Lowell Martin Seida of Westchester, IL, a western suburb of Chicago, is seeking to gain a U.S. senate seat via a write-in candidacy. Seida is an American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES) Sequoyah Fellow. He has long connections to the Chicagoland area; an ancestor died in 1865 in the service of the 9th Illinois Volunteer Cavalry Regiment; others helped re-build Chicago after the Great Fire of 1871. “As U.S. Senator, I would introduce legislation to set standards for better judge training and conduct of foreclosure proceedings,” says Seida.“Though the Great Recession began September 16, 2008, Illinois continues to suffer because State of Illinois Judges did not receive enough training in Residential Mortgage Backed Securities (RMBSs).” Seida has worked toward Judicial Reform, including authoring Illinois Supreme Court Rules 113 and 114, to require some measure of respect for Homestead Rights. “The American Revolutionary War was fought over Homestead Rights,” Seida explains. “The British Quartering Act of 1765 let British Crown representatives take businesses, homesteads, family heirlooms— even family Bibles—from American colonists,

paying only what they felt like paying.” Seida notes that on November 1, 1778, the Chicago Militia, composed of the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi, defeated the force of 100 British professional soldiers who were sent from Forts Michilimackinac and Detroit to build British Fort Chicago. “That would have put a British stranglehold on the Northwest Territory,” asserts Seida. “I nominate the Chicago Militia for the U.S. Presidential Unit Citation.” Seida was Valedictorian of Westchester’s St. Joseph High School. He won a competitive appointment to the U.S. Coast Guard Academy, but served in U.S. Army Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC), instead, receiving a book award for excellence in military history. He graduated at the top of his Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) and Pharmacy Technician programs. Seida’s past employment includes Human Services Caseworker for the Illinois Department of Human Services. Also an author, Seida has penned a biography of William Milligan Sloane, the founder of the U.S. Olympic Committee and Illinois U.S. Civil War Union Veteran, and a biography of William Buckingham “Father Bill” Curtis, the father of American amateur athletics.

CAP Debt Help Center Launches in South Holland Christians Against Poverty’s Southern Suburbs Center held it’s official Civic Launch on Wednesday September 9th hosted by South Holland’s very own Mayor Don De Graff. As with all things in the current era it was a virtual affair with over 22 representatives from various community organizations eager to hear about how this new service can help local residents. Nancy Zekveld, a member of Covenant Fellowship Church the Center Manager for the new Center opened the occasion stating that “many families right here in our own neighborhoods are experiencing financial difficulties. We want to reach them with this unique service.” She went on to say that “Debt is a problem in our community today and we believe we have some really great resources that are going to help many people to conquer the debt that they can not manage. At CAP we want everyone to know that there is always hope!” Mayor De Graff went on to comment that he was “excited about CAP and the great promise that it delivers, the great premise it works from and the great purpose it will deliver to so many of our residents in the South Suburbs in particular.” He noted that the motto of South Holland “Faith, Family and Future” worked well with the Christians Against Poverty Debt Center model saying “We need to look at spiritual needs of people, we need to look at the social needs, fiscal needs and yes financial needs. COVID-19 hit us in 2020 certainly well before COVID came people were struggling with Debt.” Nancy then introduced Simon Wilce, Executive Director of Christians Against Poverty America. He explained how CAP had been founded over 25 years ago in the UK and seen it’s work grow into a national solution there and spread around the world. He shared that a recent London School of Economics study found that for every $1 CAP invests in a community relieving the poverty

debt causes, it saves society a further $3.60 in associated costs dealing with the fallout from unmanageable debt. He thanked the Mayor and stated “we are so excited to have founded CAP America in Illinois and the Southern Suburbs were high on our list of places we wanted to serve. We are so excited to work with Covenant Fellowship Church” Finally Nancy explained more about how the service works as it provides clients with three in-home visits. First to introduce CAP and explain what they can do to help, second, to gather necessary information to build an accurate budget, and finally to review the budget and advice that the credit counselor prepared. She also was very clear that the service took safety seriously at this point (COVID) and that the service was for all stating “You do not have to be a Christian for us to help you. We serve regardless of religion, sex, or lifestyle.” LeShea Macklin, Credit Counseling Manager for Christians Against Poverty also weighed in sharing her industry experience with AFCPE training. Macklin stated “For anyone unfamiliar with what credit counseling is - it is a service recognized by consumer protection groups and banks that offers debt, credit and budget advice to the American consumer. CC also offers financial education and options to clients regarding how they can address their financial concerns What sets CAP apart from other debt help agencies is our ability to reach the most vulnerable and help people along their journey as we meet people in their homes and become involved in their lives. Our client services are completely free. The advice is impartial and debt options like Debt Management Programs are free which is a unique feature in the industry.” The Mayor and Nancy wrapped up the occasion with a plea to get the word out and share this new service. If you would like further information please call toll free 888 777 4620 or visit our website capamerica.org/debthelp.

BBB Serving Northern Indiana is warning consumers against buying from JoGoddess Hair. The Fort Wayne-based business has received a pattern of complaints from customers receiving empty packages after ordering products online. Consumers also report long shipping delays and unresponsive customer service. Losses range from $195 to over $300. When working to resolve the complaints, the BBB approached the company and was told: “If consumers experience an issue with their package, they should file a claim with the delivery carrier. Once they leave our location, they are no longer our responsibility.” Due to this pattern of complaints, and JoGoddess Hair’s failure to offer a solution to resolve the complaints, the company’s accreditation was revoked on Sept. 3. “All accredited businesses agree to uphold the BBB Standards for Trust, which include delivering products as promised and making a good-faith effort to resolve customer complaints,” said Marjorie Stephens, President and CEO of the BBB Serving Northern Indiana. “Being an accredited business is a prestigious position and not every business qualifies. When businesses engage in unethical practices, that honor and privilege can and will be revoked.” A North Carolina consumer placed an order on July 23 and started installment payments through a third party. She reached out to both the retailer and the third-party payment processor on July 31 concerning delivery of her products. When the payment processor advised her to work with JoGoddess Hair to cancel her order, she found that her order could not be canceled per company policy, but her shipping and tracking info would be available on Aug. 3. The tracking info was not updated until Aug. 9, and the order did not ship until Aug. 24. The package arrived empty, but the consumer could not dispute it through the payment processor because JoGoddess Hair submitted the tracking number as proof of shipping. “This experience has been one of the most unprofessional experiences of my

adult life,” she said in her complaint. A Michigan consumer left a one-star review about the lack of customer service. After attempting to reach JoGoddess Hair by email, she messaged their Facebook profile. The company then gave her a different shipping and processing time than listed on the confirmation email. A few days after the new date, she sent another message about her order and found she had been blocked by the company on Facebook. “Poor customer service is completely unacceptable in an ethical marketplace,” Stephens said. “Shipping issues can happen, but patterns reveal a much deeper issue.” The BBB offers the following tips to shop safely online: Buy from reliable retailers. Shop businesses you know and trust online. If you’ve never done business with a company, review their business profile at BBB.org. Pay attention to customer reviews and complaints. Don’t be fooled by a bargain advertised on social media. If the price is too good to be true, it probably is. Check the business’s contact information. Even if the company website or social media profile looks legitimate, make sure they’re willing and available to answer questions. Incorrect email addresses, continually changing shipping times and unfriendly customer service are red flags of an untrustworthy business. Pay carefully. Credit cards are generally the safest way to pay for an online purchase. If a problem occurs, you have some consumer protections offered by the credit card company to dispute the charges. If a business only accepts payment options like PayPal, Venmo or CashApp, that’s another red flag. Customers ordering hair pieces and related products have received empty packages.

Financial Advice Column

Purpose-driven Retirement Needs a Financial Strategy SUBMITTED BY PATRICK ZAMKIN Today’s retirees, and those of tomorrow, have had a sense of purpose their entire lives – and they don’t intend to give it up just because they’ll no longer be working full time. In fact, 55% of recent retirees said retirement is the time for “a new chapter in life,” compared with just 22% who said it was “a time for rest and relaxation,” according to the 2020 Edward Jones/Age Wave Four Pillars of the New Retirement study. And the same study found that 95% of retirees said it was important to keep learning and growing at every age. But however they find their purpose – contributing to the community, growing intellectually, gaining new experiences and so on – retirees will need to be financially prepared. How can you prepare for a purposeful retirement? You may want to start by asking yourself these questions: Will I need to prioritize some of my goals? As a retiree, you may hope to do any number of things. You might want to learn new skills through hands-on training at a local vocational school or crafts organization. You might want to take up a hobby such as collecting rare wines. You may even want to fix up old houses. And you also might want to expand your view of the world by traveling extensively. If, like almost everyone else, you won’t have unlimited financial resources during your retirement years, you may need to prioritize these goals, worthy as they may all be to your sense of purpose. Can I still afford to retire at the age I planned? When you first calculated your ideal retirement age, you might have been counting on your investment portfolio having returned a certain percentage. Or you might have had different goals in mind than you do now. Or you might have had a somewhat different family situation. Changes in any or all of these factors could affect the age at which you choose to retire. But if you conclude that you may need to postpone retirement for a couple of years, your decision could offer some advantages, such as the ability to contribute more to your IRA and your 401(k) or similar employer-sponsored plan. In any case, it’s a good idea to review your retirement plans periodically, perhaps at least once a year. How can I incorporate philanthropy into my financial strategy? Giving back to your community may be a key element of your purpose-driven retirement. Yet, with so many educational, civic and cultural groups in existence – including many in your own area – you probably can’t give as much as you’d like to all of them without affecting your own lifestyle today and the legacy you’d like to leave for your family. So, you may want to take two distinct steps. First, consider establishing a budget for how much you will give to charitable groups each year. And, second, think about including philanthropy in your estate plans. Because there are many vehicles and techniques available, you should consult with your legal, tax and financial professionals when drawing up your estateplanning strategies. It can be extremely rewarding to live your retirement purposefully – but you’ll find it a lot easier to do when you make the right financial moves.

Free Online Course Helps with One-Year Subscription to College Application Process MasterClass for $1 Thousands of high school seniors lost access to in-person meetings with their school counselors this year due to COVID-19 and remote learning. But a new, free online course has been created to help seniors, especially first-generation and lower income, through each step of the college application process. The Runway course, which was created by admissions experts from Collegewise, including former admissions officers from Yale, Harvard, Cornell, Stanford, University of Chicago, MIT and Caltech (to name a few) keeps things focused and simple, with college counselors mapping out every step of applying to college, from determining good value colleges, to applying for fee waivers, to filling out applications effectively. There will also be resources for schools

and school counselors to help them provide additional support to students during remote learning. “It’s a place we’ve built to help students land, launch, and shine,” according to Casey Near of Collegewise. “We have built a course for seniors on how to apply to college this year, a guide for educators on how to write effective letters of recommendation, and an entire database for high school students to navigate the many paths to college. We brought together our best and brightest counselors to share their collective wisdom on everything from finding good value colleges to addressing what testing looks like this year to navigating fee waivers.” To learn more, visit Runway’s webpage at http://go.collegewise.com/runwayishere

Non-Profit Seeks to Reduce Black-On-Black Violence A brand new non-profit has come into being with an important mandate: to reduce black-on-black violence. Minister Kevin A. Boens of Dolton, IL developed the new organization, named Stop Killing Our Own People, or S.K.O.O.P., to advocate, educate and nonviolently protest against black-on-black crime, police brutality, and all racially motivated violence against black people. “This organization will address the issue of ‘us killing us,’ which hasn’t been addressed and needs to be,” said Boens. “As the founder, I have taken a stance that enough is enough— we can no longer sit back and watch innocent babies being slaughtered unchallenged.” Boens is very familiar with the tragic violence that so many black families suffer— he is also a Village of Dolton police officer. “This is my daily life,” he said. “I can’t just do nothing. S.K.O.O.P. will be the voice for those victims that can no longer speak for themselves. S.K.O.O.P. will be the voice for those surviving families who don’t get national coverage because their loved one died at the hands of another black person, and not a white cop.” Boens invites people with a heart to stop the violence to connect with him on social media— Facebook: SKOOP -Stop Killing Our Own People at www.facebook.com/endblackonblackcrime Twitter: @SKOOPSTOPKILLI1 Instagram: @stopkillingourownpeople

New Grants Expected to Bring About 1,300 jobs to Indiana To support Illinois’ ongoing pandemic response, the U.S Department of Labor created two new grants that will bring nearly 1,300 jobs to the state, and State Senator Napoleon Harris, III urges unemployed workers to apply. “Thousands of Illinois residents have lost their jobs due the pandemic, and this investment provides the opportunity for many of them to return to work,” Harris said. “Our working families are one of the most essential factors for the state’s recovery. The Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Security (DCEO) has received two $8.3 million grants as part of the National Dislocated Worker Program, totaling a $16.6 million investment to place, train and hire Illinois workers to fill high-demand positions and assist local disaster relief programs. The state will distribute funding to 12

Local Workforce Innovation Areas to expand education and training opportunities throughout Illinois. DCEO will partner with local workforce agency partners to assist with filling high-need, temporary roles to help mitigate COVID-19 in communities, including contact tracers, COVID-19 protocol workers, building sanitization workers, temperature screeners, and food preparation and distribution workers. Training and hiring for new workforce programs are expected to begin this fall. Local workforce agencies will prioritize applicants who have been laid off or otherwise lost their jobs during the COVID-19 crisis at the time of their application. A full list of available training and hiring opportunities is available on Get Hired Illinois<https://www2.illinois.gov/ gethired/pages/default.aspx>

Personal Trainer to the Real Estate Consumer

Expose Agent Stats? MIKE BUDER What is so taboo about asking the question “how many homes like mine have you sold in the past year?” It is a simple question, but all too few agents will give you a number. Oh, they’ll tell you they have been a triple micronium producer or on a top team, whatever that means. It all sounds great. But here’s the deal: 90% of all the listings are sold by 10% of the agents. I’ll put it another way: in Lansing, Illinois there are 22 real estate companies and a total of 67 licensed sales people. In the month of July, those 67 sales people sold exactly 5 single-family homes in Lansing. There are 148 active listings, so there are plenty of people who listed with someone who somehow finessed the fact that they haven’t sold much of anything in a dog’s age. They might have stated that they work for a big company, productive office or some other larger truth that obscures the reality that they themselves are not doing very much. The problem here, and take it from a Realtor that lists dozens of expired listings each year, is that all that flowery gibberish breaks down when the seller

realizes that the 2010 top office producer award means nothing in 2020, or 10 years in the business can really be one year repeated ten times. Sad to say, but many agents have not adjusted to the market and industry changes of recent and they refuse to admit it isn’t 2005 anymore. I feel that it would benefit the consumer if real estate agent sales statistics would all be made public. It does astound me, that as the largest trade association in America, that we haven’t encouraged the public to ask for a verifiable track record, references, and other factual, transparent credentials they can hang their hat on. They just say to select a member. In today’s difficult and constantly changing market, that may not be good enough.

Say I saw it in The Shopper

No Fest Dutch Fest Thank you for Supporting The Shopper! The Annual Dutch Fest at Elim Christian Services of Crestwood, IL has had a long tradition. The campus of the school, which serves adults with disabilities, is transformed into a wonderland of Dutch treats and culture. Music plays as costumed teens dance in wooden shoes, a food court serves traditional Dutch staples like stamppot, heaps of flowers and vegetables are for sale, along with handcrafts, Delftware, and collectibles. But not this year. This year’s festival will be a “No Fest Dutch Fest” event due to the uncertainties of the coronavirus situation. Yes, like many festivals, Dutch Fest is going online. “While we won’t be gathering on campus in September for the traditional festival, you can still enjoy many of your Dutch Fest favorites by ordering online,” says Elim’s Facebook page. Dutch Fest sales will run July 13 - August 15, with curbside pick-up on Saturday, September 26. Dutch Fest is Elim’s largest fundraiser each year, with all proceeds directly impacting hundreds of children and adults with disabilities. So Elim hopes would-be visitors will still support Elim’s students and adults through the No Fest Dutch Fest. There are still sponsorship opportunities as well.

Hoosiers Called to Volunteer to Help Feed Indiana’s Hungry The Indiana Family and Social Services Administration is joining forces with Feeding Indiana’s Hungry to encourage Hoosiers to resume or start new volunteer service at one of Indiana’s food banks and other charitable food distribution sites. Volunteers will be urgently needed as members of the Indiana National Guard will end their temporary, six-month deployment to aid Indiana’s food banks on Sept. 30, 2020. Since being deployed in early April, guardsmen served more than 36 million meals to more than four million Hoosiers. “We are so grateful to the Indiana National Guard members who filled a critical gap and provided the workforce needed to keep Indiana’s charitable food distribution network operating during the darkest days of the pandemic,” said Emily Weikert Bryant, executive director of Feeding Indiana’s Hungry. “As food banks continue touchless, drive-thru distributions with pre-boxed food in response to COVID-19 safety concerns, the work needed to make this happen has been, and will continue to be, much more than ever before. As the Indiana National Guard service ends, we look forward to seeing more of our friends who have volunteered in the past return – and we’re excited to welcome new volunteers, as well.” The charitable food distribution network operates 13 regional locations across the state, which provide food for distribution to community-based pantries. Locations continue to face an increased demand for food by Hoosiers affected by the COVID-19

pandemic. Hoosiers can volunteer by filling out a brief form at OperationFood.IN.gov. They will be contacted by their regional food bank to match them with volunteer assignments. Since the early days of the pandemic, food banks have seen dramatic drops in volunteers as Hoosiers stayed home, which was especially true among Hoosiers over age 60, who make up the bulk of food bank volunteers. Some dedicated volunteers have returned to help on a limited basis, but food banks and pantries are now prepared to again use volunteers regularly to safely distribute food. “Food banks have adapted their operations to prioritize the safety of volunteers and are experienced in providing food to those in need while following public health guidelines, so we are asking Hoosiers to answer the call to continue this mission to meet this critical need,” said Jennifer Sullivan, M.D., M.P.H., FSSA secretary. “Our team at FSSA worked alongside Feeding Indiana’s Hungry to make Operation Food a one-stop resource to find food at one of Indiana’s nearly 1,750 pantries, donate to help keep our neighbors fed, and now to connect Hoosiers to places where they can serve their communities in-person.” Information from those who sign up to volunteer at OperationFood.IN.gov will be gathered by Feeding Indiana’s Hungry and shared with the charitable food network around the state. Potential volunteers may also reach out directly to a food bank in their area here.

Real Estate Questions & Answers CATHY & JIM HIGGINS Question: Our home is listed for $250,000. We received an offer for $240,000 and they wanted us to pay $6000 of their closing costs. The buyer has FHA financing. We countered their offer with $245,000 and no closing costs. Anyway, after going back and forth, our Realtor convinced us to pay the $6000 in closing costs and raise the price to $252,000. We did and the buyers accepted our offer. A few weeks later, the appraisal came back at a $247,000 value. Now the buyer wants the home for the appraisal price and wants the $6000 in closing costs that we agreed upon. Our Realtor said take it and move on. We are not happy with this. What is your opinion? Answer: The concept of a seller crediting a buyer for their closing costs is pretty normal. The amount varies from deal to deal. If the amount can be agreed upon, it is a benefit to both parties, and produces many successful closings. A lower appraisal means that in order for the deal to be financed by the lender, the seller would have to drop to the appraisal price or the buyer would have to make up the difference. Very few buyers are going to want to purchase a home over the appraised value. This FHA appraisal stays with your

home for 4 months. So if you say no to the deal, the next FHA buyer within the 4 months, would use the same appraisal. It is possible that you could find a conventional loan buyer, with the hope that this appraisal would yield a higher value. But you are starting all over and there are no guarantees that it would be easy to find a conventional buyer or that the appraisal would be any different. Since your contract is being renegotiated at a lower price than what was agreed upon, you do NOT have to pay the $6000 in closing costs. Sure you agreed to pay them, but the buyer also agreed to pay a higher price for your home. Perhaps you can renegotiate the closing costs or other items in the contract that would make the deal appealing to both sides. After all, the buyer did like your home and you do want to sell!
