As Summer Nears, American Cancer Society Shines Light on Skin Cancer Chicago, Illinois – More than 5 million cases of skin cancer are estimated to be diagnosed each year in the United States, making it the most-commonly diagnosed cancer in the country. For Skin Cancer ​Awareness Month this May, the American Cancer Society (ACS) is shining a light on the fact that nearly all skin cancers can be treated effectively - if they are found early. While about 8 out of 10 new skin cancer cases are basal cell cancers, squamous cell cancers occur less often.

• While skin cancer risk factors are present every day, they are greater in the summer when people may be spending more time in the sun.

• Because of this, it’s important to be sun ​sensible and take the necessary steps to lower your risk.

Ultraviolet (UV) rays are the most common cause of skin cancer, and simply staying in the shade is one of the best ways to limit your UV exposure. If you are going to be in the sun, ACS recommends ​ that you seek shade and “Slip! Slop! Slap!® and Wrap,” a reminder of some key steps that can help protect against UV rays: • Slip on a shirt. While all clothing provides some UV protection, some clothes are made specially to help block UV rays.

• Slop on sunscreen. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 30 on exposed areas of skin year-round. Reapply sunscreen every two hours or after swimming o ​ r sweating, even if it’s labeled as “waterproof.”

• Slap on a hat. Opting for a hat on a sunny day can help shade your face from the sun. A hat with a wide brim around your head can also help protect your ears and neck.

• Wrap on sunglasses. Sunglasses that block UV rays can help protect the eyes and the skin around them.

Anyone can get skin cancer. Though people with light skin are more likely to get skin cancer, t​hose who are darker-skinned are also at risk of developing skin cancer. The best way to catch skin​ cancer early is to get into the routine of checking your skin for changes, including a new growth or spot, or a change in the size, shape or color of a mole.

Skin cancer can happen to anyone regardless of gender, age, or ethnicity Checking your skin regularly may help you identify new growths or any abnormal areas and show them ​to your doctor before those spots even have a chance to turn into cancer Skin cancer is the most common of all cancer types. In the United States, more than 5 million skin cancers are diagnosed each year.

Sun Safety Quiz ACS recommends testing your sun safety IQ by visiting their website to take the Sun Safety Quiz.

Don’t Fry Day “Don’t Fry Day” is May 26, the day before Memorial Day. We’d love to partner with you to remind Illinois residents to prevent skin cancer by sharing easy tips to help families protect themselves from damaging ​UV rays while they enjoy summertime activities. American Cancer Society’s reps are available to discuss: • Sun safety tips • Factors that can raise skin cancer risk • Checking your skin for signs of signs of cancer

Free Learning Opportunities Available and Volunteers Needed for the South Suburban College Literacy Tutoring Program South Holland, IL–South Suburban College (SSC) is seeking participants for the Adult Volunteer Literacy (AVL) Tutoring Program. The program is structured to train volunteers to become one-on-one tutors for adults in need of basic literacy skills.

Instruction in basic literacy includes the development of phonetic reading skills, whole language experience, combined with effective communication skills. Residents are welcome to volunteer as tutors and encourage others to take advantage of this free professional development opportunity.

Once certified, SSC’s volunteer literacy tutors visit adult learners at locations in or near their neighborhoods. Tutoring is flexibly scheduled based on the availability of tutors, learners, and tutoring sites. The following locations have been established as tutoring sites: Acorn Public Library, Oak Forest; Glenwood-Lynwood Library; Harvey Public Library; Phoenix Public Library; Calumet City Public Library; Grande Prairie Library, Hazel Crest; Homewood Public Library; South Holland Public Library; South Suburban College Main Campus Library, South Holland; South Suburban College Oak Forest Center Library, Oak Forest; Lansing Public Library; Dolton Public Library; Riverdale Public Library; Blue Island Public Library; Dixmoor Public Library; Tinley Park Public Library; Markham Public Library; Midlothian Public Library; and Thornton

Public Library.

Illiteracy can be debilitating in many ways for adults who never received the proper instruction. Adults who are unable to read experience difficulty completing many daily activities that others may take for granted, along with a disadvantage in today’s competitive job market.

SSC’s Office of Adult Education administers the Adult Volunteer Literacy Tutoring Program in addition to High School Equivalency (HSE), English as a Second Language (ESL), and Adult Basic Education (ABE). These opportunities are made possible by a grant awarded by the Illinois State Library (ISL), a division of the Office of the Secretary of State, using state funds designated for literacy.

The June training will take place at the South Suburban College Oak Forest Campus in Oak Forest, IL on Tuesdays and Thursdays from June 4 through June 20, 2024 from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.

This 12-hour program culminates with literacy training certification.

Tutors will continue to receive free professional development services throughout this program. Successful tutors are also eligible for letters of support or recommendation for jobs, scholarships, educational opportunities, and more. For additional information, or to register, please contact David Stephens, Adult Literacy Grants Manager, at (708) 596-2000, ext. 2558, or email DStephens@ssc.edu

If you are looking for a deal, then you need to look at homes that need work, do the math, and hope that you can make a profit by selling it for more than what you paid for it plus expenses to fix it up and sell. There is tough competition in the investor market.

Everyone wants to make money selling homes.

Sometimes you can get a deal if you are a cash buyer and find a seller who does not want to deal with a buyers financing and wants a quick close.

SUBMITTED BY PATRICK ZAMKIN Once you’re retired, you will likely need to draw on several types of income for your living expenses. You’ll need to know where these funds are coming from and how much you can count on, but you should also be aware of how this money is taxed — because this knowledge can help you plan and budget for your retirement years.

Here’s the basic tax information on some key sources of retirement income: • Social Security – Many people don’t realize they may have to pay taxes on their Social Security benefits.

Whether your benefits will be taxed depends on how much other taxable income you receive from various sources, such as self-employment, stock dividends and interest payments. You’ll want to check with your tax advisor to determine whether your income reaches the threshold where your Social Security benefits will be taxed. The lower your total taxable income, the lower the taxes will be on your benefits.

The Social Security Administration will not automatically take out taxes from your monthly checks — to have taxes withheld, you will need to fill out Form W-4V (Voluntary Withholding Request). Again, your tax advisor can help you determine the percentage of your benefits you should withhold.

• Retirement accounts – During your working years, you may have contributed to two basic retirement accounts: an IRA and a 401(k) or similar plan (such as a 457(b) plan for state and local government employees or a 403(b) plan for educators and employees of some nonprofits). If you invested in a “traditional” IRA or 401(k) or similar plan, your contributions may have been partially or completely deductible and your earnings grew on a tax-deferred basis. But when you start taking withdrawals from your traditional IRA or 401(k), the money is considered taxable at your normal income tax rate. However, if you chose the “Roth” option (when available), your contributions were not deductible,

but your earnings and withdrawals are tax-free, provided you meet certain conditions.

• Annuities – Many investors use annuities to supplement their retirement income. An annuity is essentially a contract between you and an insurance company in which the insurer pays you an income stream for a given number of years, or for life, in exchange for the premiums you paid.

You typically purchase a “qualified” annuity with pre-tax dollars, possibly within a traditional IRA or 401(k), so your premiums may be deductible, and your earnings can grow tax deferred.

Once you start taking payouts, the entire amount — your contributions and earnings — are taxable at your individual tax rate. On the other hand, you purchase “non-qualified” annuities with after-tax dollars, so your premiums aren’t deductible, but just like qualified annuities, your earnings grow on a tax-deferred basis. When you take payments, you won’t pay taxes on the principal amounts you invested but the earnings will be taxed as ordinary income.

We’ve looked at some general rules governing different sources of income, but you should consult your tax professional about your specific situation. Ultimately, factors such as your goals, lifestyle and time horizon should drive the decisions you make for your retirement income. Nonetheless, you may want to look for ways to control the taxes that result from your various income pools. And the more you know about how your income is taxed, the fewer unpleasant surprises you may experience.

You should consult your attorney or qualified tax advisor regarding your situation.

CATHY & JIM HIGGINS Question: I am venting. We are looking to purchase a home that needs some work, but it’s amazing how many homes are past the “needs work” and into the “disgusting” category. Bad odors, torn carpeting and walls with holes…the list goes on. We can’t find anything. Any suggestions?

Answer: Let’s review this…. You are looking for a good deal, but you don’t want a home with odors, or a home that needs some work? I don’t think the distressed property market is for you. If you want a good deal on a home, you are going to have to find something that needs a lot of work. A home with odors, torn carpeting and holes in the walls and more. If the home doesn’t need work, the homeowner can sell it at fair market value which is usually always higher than what they would get in an investors market.

Finding a super deal in real estate is not easy. The overwhelming majority of homes sold would be categorized in the “fair deal” category. Fair, because Realtors price the homes correctly and appraisers ensure the buyer is not overpaying for a home in an

Heart Smart JOSH BOOTSMA There was once a time when binge-watching was hard.

Your favorite show was appointment viewing once a week.

You had to wait to run to Blockbuster until tomorrow to get the next installment on DVD. Now, we binge. Episode after episode. Prequel, sequel, spin-off. Watch it now. Binge something else later.

I fear I live my life this way sometimes. This weekend was fun, what’s happening next weekend? That conversation was encouraging, who else can I talk to? That experience was really disheartening, I need to find a new podcast about dealing with hardship.

We accept our emotions stoically, and let the river of life move us along as we passively consume whatever’s next.

We’re moved by the current to our next experience, meal, lover, trouble, blessing. Sometimes we get stuck in a thicket of tragedy, or held by a sandbar of joy, but the current will sweep us along soon enough and bring us to consume whatever’s next.

This rudderless, binging, stoic life is not the life Jesus wants for you or me.

Brennan Manning, in his book Abba’s Child, says, “Through union with Him, nothing is wasted, nothing is missing.”

God’s plan for his children is intentional. Every experience is a chance for Him to mold us. Our interactions aren’t chance encounters, but rather chances to learn, chances to change.

“There is never a moment that does not carry eternal significance,” Manning says. And that’s because our eternal Father is preparing us for eternity with Him! He’s busy renovating us during our time on this earth — and he invites us to be actively involved in that process.

So how are you living? Are you binging, consuming whatever the river of life brings you to next? Or are you, empowered by the Holy Spirit of God, refusing to let your life be anything but a chance to learn and become more like Jesus?

Hello there!

Y? WHY NOT!

Should Parents Be Held Responsible for Their Children’s Crimes?

by Janice R Newman

In April 2024, in Oakland County, Michigan, Judge Matthews set a legal precedent for sentencing the parents of a school shooter to 10-15 years in prison. This case convicted parents in connection with their child’s crime.

The judge gave this sentence to deter other parents from being irresponsible and make them more accountable for their children’s actions. Tragically, four people lost their lives in this event, which could have been prevented.

This raises the question: Should parents be held liable for crimes that their minor children commit? But, should it only be extreme crimes, such as loss of life or severe violence? There are strong arguments on both sides of the issue. Some people argue that parents should be directly responsible, especially in serious cases like this one. Others argue that it is unfair to punish parents if they did not commit the crime. This could result in unfair consequences.

All 50 states have their version of a Parental Responsibility Law (PRL) that parents are held accountable to some level, typically financially with fines, court fees, and damages, for their minor’s actions. For example, in Illinois, the law is known as Illinois Civil Liabilities (740 ILCS 115), and in Indiana, it is Indiana Code Section 34-31-4-1. Each state differs on the specific rules about the type of crime, financial costs, or the punishments. Please check your state’s statutes for specific details of the law.

The Michigan case could change how future cases are handled. More parents could face prison sentences because of PRL. What would happen if the laws were changed to increase financial liabilities or require parents to serve jail time like the parents in Michigan?

How would this affect parents of children who commit other crimes like theft, vandalism, assault, intoxication, burglary, etc.? How would parents react to also being criminally charged for what their minor children commit?

What would be the outcome?

There are several possible outcomes if parental responsibility laws become stricter.

One potential outcome is a drop in crime. If parents were held responsible and faced the consequences, they might be more aware, involved, and in control of their children’s activities. They might stress to their children the values of the fruits of the spirit in Galatians 5:22-23 “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.” Some minors might reconsider committing crimes to prevent their parents from being punished because of their actions.

There could be a drop in new births.

Today, more young adults choose not to have children for various reasons, including personal freedom, finances, social influences, and ethical beliefs. Some people believe ethically that the world has significant social, economic, cultural, and environmental problems, and that it is irresponsible to add to the population. Crime is an included factor. Stricter PRL penalties could influence more people to decide not to have children.

There could be overcrowding in jails with innocent parents who received punishment for their child’s actions. This would include parents who tried their best to raise their children, but societal influences can prevail in their children’s lives and behavior. Parents would be in jail leading to the destruction of the family.

Although the case in Michigan held parents criminally responsible for their child’s actions, is that the best action for other cases involving minors like theft, burglary, assault, or vandalism? While holding parents accountable might reduce crime and encourage better parenting skills, is it fair? People continually proclaim that we need to get tough on crime, but do they change their proclamation when the parents could receive punishment with their child? Y? Why Not! Please like Y?

The Morton Arboretum Wonder Woods Mini Golf opens May 24 LISLE, Ill. (May 16, 2024)— The Morton Arboretum’s tree science will grace the green May 24 with the debut of its new Wonder Woods Mini Golf attraction. The nine-hole pop-up course will engage and educate players of all ages about the fascinating world of trees and their significant role in Illinois ecosystems through Sept. 2.

“We’re excited to offer this fun and interactive way to showcase the invaluable role trees play in our lives and the Arboretum’s global science and conservation work,” said Amy Scott, head of exhibitions.

The visually compelling tree-themed course is colorful and imaginative. Features include giant mushrooms, oversized bugs and colossal acorns in playful game elements such as Plinko and foosball. Players will learn how tree rings tell the life story of a tree, putt through a stylized forest canopy and explore how sound waves are used to detect decay in trees.

The Arboretum’s exhibitions and design teams, in collaboration with the science and conservation staff, meticulously created each hole in-house, with guidance from A Couple of Putts, Minneapolis-based mini golf consultants.

“Each hole was imagined by Arboretum staff and is custom-designed, with every detail bearing the Arboretum’s stamp,” said Grant Apgar, creative director.

The course is wheelchair-accessible and situated in the

heart of the Arboretum’s core Visitor Center area. Other nearby attractions include the acclaimed Children’s Garden, the serene 2-acre Grand Garden, Maze Garden and two sculptures in the Arboretum’s current outdoor art exhibition Of the Earth by artist Olga Ziemska.

“Public gardens like the Arboretum provide important opportunities for immersive learning and understanding about the natural world,” said Scott. “At the core of the Arboretum’s mission to plant and protect trees is the commitment to educate youth and adults to foster a deeper appreciation for trees.”

The mini golf course is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. seven days a week, May 24 through Sept. 2. Tickets for the Wonder Woods season are available online, and are in addition to Arboretum general admission. Member tickets are $8 for adults and $6 for children, and nonmember tickets are $10 for adults and $8 for children. Additional rounds of play may be purchased on-site for $2, subject to availability. Participants must be at least 4 years old to play.

Adult supervision is mandatory for players under the age of 15.

Tax credits key to filling need for more, affordable housing in IL

By TOM DEMMER Drive through any community in Illinois and you’re sure to see the orange cones and blinking lights of a road construction zone. You might also see crews building a new restaurant, bank, or gas station. And in many communities, you’ll see the cranes and earthmovers building a new manufacturing facility, data center, or electric vehicle assembly plant. But even amid all this construction, it’s less common, rare even, to spot a new home or subdivision being built.

Illinois has the 9th highest housing deficit in the nation, and that deficit has grown 64% over the past decade. Ask a mayor what is most in need in their community, and more times than not the answer will be safe, stable housing that their residents can afford.

When I served in the Illinois House of Representatives, I worked across the aisle to advocate for affordable housing because I saw how safe and stable housing improves public safety, health care, education, and community services. We found support from legislators across the state, in communities large and small, because the lack of affordable housing is a concern for residents in every district.

Now I serve as the president of an economic development organization in Lee County, a rural county west of Chicago, and I see another reason for supporting affordable housing: It’s vitally important to our economy.

Every day I talk with site selectors, developers, and companies looking to build or grow in Illinois. Local population and available workforce are among their top criteria for choosing where to locate. Large projects and developments can add hundreds of new jobs to a community and often bring additional pressure to an already notable housing shortage.

If we want Illinois to remain competitive in

site selection and economic development, we must build more homes and apartments.

The Build Illinois Homes Tax Credit is a key part of the solution. Over the first five years, this tax credit can attract new private investment to build 5,745 new affordable houses in communities across the state, allowing us to draw down unused federal tax credits, create high-quality jobs, and generate new tax base.

Critically, the Build Illinois Homes Tax Credit is designed to provide new phases of funding each year, which provides the stability developers need to make plans for the future instead of rushing to apply for a one-and-done round of funding.

New affordable housing options will provide thousands of Illinoisans with good places to live and support the revitalization of communities that have been stagnated by the housing shortage. And as site selectors and developers evaluate potential project locations, new homes and residents will give Illinois communities a real competitive advantage.

That’s why the Build Illinois Homes Tax Credit has attracted a diverse group of supporters, including LiUNA Midwest, the Illinois Manufacturers’ Association, the Chicago Teachers Union, the Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce, and many more.

I’m glad to show my strong support for the Build Illinois Tax Credit. I urge my former colleagues and friends on both sides of the aisle in the Illinois General Assembly to enact this incentive and support economic growth in communities across our great state.

Tom Demmer is executive director of the Lee County Industrial Development Association, and was a Republican state representative from 2013 to 2023 for Lee, Ogle, DeKalb and LaSalle counties in north-central Illinois.

UnchainedTV’s New Show ‘Kale Krew’ Treats Viewers to Sheriff Dart Announces a Culinary Tour of Chicago’s Relaunch of Senior Citizen Led Vibrant Vegan Scene Training Program for Police Recruits COOK COUNTY, IL – Cook County Sheriff Thomas J. Dart has relaunched Seniors Training Academy Recruits to Succeed (STARS), a unique program where older adult volunteers help train police recruits to better serve the community.

Sheriff Dart founded the STARS program in 2017 to hone recruits’ communication skills and prepare them to navigate real-life scenarios effectively as police officers. In this training each recruit receives a radio call for service, stating that a senior has been a victim of a crime. The recruit responds and engages with the senior portraying the victim. Following the exercise, recruits receive feedback on their interactions.

This unique approach provides invaluable scenario-based training that enhances a recruit’s communication skills, teaching them how to better connect with a large segment of the community who are often victims of crime.

“This innovative program, which is a joint venture with Triton College’s Retired Senior Volunteer Program, offers a unique way to prepare our recruits for serving and protecting our community,” Sheriff Dart said. “We now can better equip our recruits to communicate effectively and enhance public safety.

We are grateful for the support we have received and look forward to continuing this training for years to come.”

The program was put on hold due to the COVID-19 pandemic and relaunched May 2024.

This training helps recruits take the important lessons learned in the Training Academy and apply them when interviewing role-playing seniors who have been trained to portray victims of seniorspecific crimes.

Older adults interested in volunteering for this program may contact the Sheriff’s Office Senior Services Department at 708-865-7341.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month.

Speaking Of Seniors

Do You Want to be Interviewed on the Internet?

WOODROW WILCOX

Are you one of the clients that I helped to check a bill and fight a mistake?

I have helped many, many people. When I started that work in 2003, this insurance agency had a little more than 2,000 clients. Today, we have over 22,000 senior citizen clients.

I wrote the book SOLVING MEDICARE PROBLEM$ to teach what I had learned to do to help senior citizens fight billing mistakes in the Medicare system.

Now, I would like to interview people that I have helped to post their stories on the internet. I believe that sharing stories about the problems with the Medicare system and how to correct them will be helpful to anyone who wants to learn how to help senior

page 11

citizens in their communities.

If I helped you or a member of your family, and you want to appear on an internet interview, please phone my office at 219-7369450 and tell them to ask me to contact you to arrange a time for the interview.

Note: Woodrow Wilcox is the senior medical bill caseworker at Senior Care Insurance Services in Merrillville, Indiana.

He has helped clients of that firm save over three million dollars by fighting to correct medical bill errors caused by the Medicare system. Also, he wrote the book SOLVING MEDICARE PROBLEM$ which can be ordered through book stores or online.

Springfield, IL – The Illinois Principals Association (IPA) is pleased to announce the first cohort of the Illinois School Leader Pipeline Program (ISLPP). This program aims to identify, develop, support, and sustain diverse aspiring school leaders in preparation for leadership roles. Managed by IPA, the Illinois Council of Professors of Educational Administration (ICPEA), and the Black Educational Advocacy Coalition (BEAC), ISLPP is supported by a grant from the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE).

ISLPP partnered with principal preparation programs known for producing high-quality school leaders to target eligible candidates to build a diverse and skilled pool of future principals.

Participants receive tuition support, mentorship from experienced leaders, and financial assistance for substitutes and professional development. Participants also have access to IPA membership, connecting them to Illinois’ largest network of school leaders.

Martha Fuentes, ISLPP participant attending Roosevelt University, shared, “I am beyond grateful for the opportunity to go back to school with the aim of becoming an administrator. I am a firm believer that our students, especially students of color, need to see themselves in those that serve them. Having the support from the IPA has been instrumental in my leadership journey. Having a mentor has been such an inspiration, listening to those who were once in my shoes and who have become successful leaders is one of the highlights of the program. I have met so many leaders from all over Illinois who are willing to support me when the time comes for me to become a leader. None of this would have been possible without the SLPP program. Thank you for believing in me and the other 99 aspiring leaders!”

Shaunwell Posely, ISLPP participant attending Governors State University, shared, “My experience with IPA has been truly remarkable. The program has provided me with immense help and support throughout my journey. From the moment I joined, I have been impressed by the commitment and dedication of the IPA team. They have gone above and beyond to ensure that I have the resources and guidance necessary to succeed in my pursuit of becoming a school principal. The program has equipped me with valuable skills, knowledge, and networks that will undoubtedly shape my future career. I am grateful for the opportunity to be a part of the program, and I highly recommend it to anyone aspiring to make a difference in education leadership.”

Kerri Young, ISLPP participant attending McKendree University, shared, “I have always wanted to pursue a degree in school leadership, but the timing was never right, and the additional funds were never available in my budget. This program took the funding issue away, and it was the perfect opportunity to seek an additional degree. The program is one of the best ways to address the current shortages of school leaders our state is facing. By removing the financial barriers and adding additional support to the students in the program, you are making the goal attainable for many teachers.”

Many participants of the School Leader Pipeline Program have graduated from their programs, or will be graduating soon, and are now seeking administrative positions. To view details about these candidates, including the level of administrative position they are seeking, visit https://www.ilprincipals.org/recruitment_ candidates/.
