BAC L O O H SC Secretary of State’s Teen Summer DMV Program Ending August 24 Teen drivers have just four more Saturdays to take advantage of the Secretary of State’s Teen Summer DMV program, Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias announced today.

Giannoulias announced in June that for the first time ever, his office would dedicate DMV services exclusively for teen drivers every Saturday at select facilities throughout the state. More than 50,000 Illinois teens received their first driver’s license during the months of June and July.

Now, with just four Saturdays left to access exclusive teen hours, Giannoulias is encouraging any eligible teens to make an appointment before they go back to school.

“We have seen this summer the success of these teen-only DMVs that provide a convenient DMV option for working parents who can’t take time off work during the week or for teens who have summer sports and activities,” Giannoulias said. “As we near the end of our program this summer, I want to make sure that our eligible teens can get their license before school starts and their schedules and their parent’s schedules get even busier.”

The Teen Summer DMV initiative, which included opening 12 additional DMVs on Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. ends Aug. 24.

The hours cater exclusively to helping teens get their driver’s licenses or permits quickly and conveniently. The effort is part of Giannoulias’ modernization plan to create efficiencies and reduce wait times.

During teen service hours, the office has a selfie station for newly licensed drivers and provides important information on data protection, such as making sure the driver’s license number and address are covered when posting to social media.

State law requires teen drivers and a parent or guardian to visit a DMV in person to complete testing and identity verification prior to receiving their first driver’s license. Illinois DMVs experience an influx of customers during the summer months, especially among teen drivers who make the switch from an instruction permit to a driver’s license.

Parents and teens can call (800) 252-8980 to schedule an appointment at any of the 12 DMV locations.

The designated teen service hours created an estimated 1,000 appointments per week to accommodate the nearly 9,000 current permit holders who become eligible for a

license this summer.

The Teen DMVs will also free up appointments during the week for those needing in-person DMV visits.

Teen service hours are offered at the following locations: Addison; Aurora; Bethalto, Belvidere, Bridgeview, Chicago West; Des Plaines; Elgin; Joliet; Lake Zurich; Plano; St. Charles.

The DMV facilities were chosen based on data revealing the highest percentage of teen drivers and the state’s busiest facilities.

In addition to the Teen Summer DMVs, 15 other DMVs operate on Saturdays, including two of the largest facilities in the state located on the North and South sides of Chicago. Teens are welcome to make appointments at those facilities on Saturdays as well.

Teen drivers interested in obtaining their first license will be scheduled for 10-minute appointments if they have already completed the required behind-the-wheel driving tests through their high school or commercial driving facility. If they need to complete a driving test at a DMV, they will be scheduled for a 30-minute appointment. Teens who need driving permits can also schedule an appointment to take a written test.

Any unfilled appointments during teen service hours will become available to the general public at 7 a.m.

During teen service hours, information will be provided geared toward new drivers, including details about the restrictions related to a graduated driver’s license (the license for those under 18 years of age), the dangers of distracted driving and how to become an organ donor.

Along with a big smile for their driver’s license photos, new drivers will need to bring the following to the DMV: • Their logbook for their instructional permit.

• Their blue and white road test waiver form from their high school if they have one. • Their birth certificate.

• Their physical Social Security Card.

• Two proofs of address forms, such as school transcripts or their parent’s driver’s license or ID card.

While teen drivers are not required to hold a REAL IDcompliant driver’s license, they are encouraged to apply for one during these designated teen hours. A list of REAL ID requirements is available at realid.ilsos.gov.

The college and transportation agency will offer a customized two-week course to assist qualified applicants in obtaining their CDL permit. To remove financial barriers for students to pursue and complete the program actively, Pace will cover the costs of tuition, training, books, fees, and other expenses associated with the program. In addition, SSC, in partnership with the Workforce Equity Initiative Grant, will provide a completion incentive for participants who complete the two-week course.

All candidates must bring a valid Illinois driver’s license and a DMV or Secretary of State Motor Vehicle Report (MVR) (also called Driving Record Abstracts in Illinois) with no more than two infractions or tickets in the last five years. Candidates are responsible for the cost of the MVR, which is $20.

Assessment results will be available 2-4 days after the event when candidates must complete an Illinois Department of Transportation physical and drug screening. Pace Bus will cover the cost of these screenings. Candidates who pass these screenings will be enrolled in a training course that will take place at SSC’s Main Campus. Qualified candidates who complete the two-week course will transition to six-week on-the-job training with Pace.

Giving Multiplied as Families Provide School Supplies for Children Around the World South Holland​ , IL​ ., Aug. 7, 2024—Local families are preparing for the school year with back-to-school sales and adding more items to their lists for children in need around the world.

Shoebox packers are using this time to purchase gifts and essential items to fill Operation Christmas Child shoebox gifts. Children in over 100 countries will be blessed by these gift-filled shoeboxes and the hope of Jesus.

Many children around the world are not able to afford school supplies, and coloring pencils, crayons, and markers are a luxury many cannot access. For Olesea Makarets, a shoebox recipient from Moldova, markers in her home were shared among her siblings. The colorful markers were used until the very last drop , and then she and her siblings would dip the markers in water to try to make them last longer.

When Makarets received an Operation Christmas Child shoebox, she remembers what stood out to her most. “I couldn’t take my eyes off a pack of colorful markers. My siblings and I shared the markers we had but now I had received a pack of my very own.” This simple gift deeply impacted Makarets’ life. She said, “Receiving a shoebox gift made me realize that Jesus, the powerful man in the Bible, is actually real.” The power of packing school supplies in shoebox gifts, can transform a child’s life and point them toward a greater hope.

For more information, call 630-474-9478, or visit samaritanspurse.org/occ. National Collection Week is Nov. 18 – 25. Participants can donate $10 per shoebox gift online through “Follow Your Box” and receive a tracking label to discover its destination. Those who prefer the convenience of online shopping can browse samaritanspurse.org/buildonline to select gifts matched to a child’s specific age and gender, then finish packing the virtual shoebox by adding a

photo and personal note of encouragement.

Operation Christmas Child, a project of Samaritan’s Purse, seeks to demonstrate God’s love in a tangible way to children in need around the world and, together with the local church worldwide, to share the Good News of Jesus Christ. Since 1993, Operation Christmas Child has collected and delivered more than 220 million gift-filled shoeboxes to children in more than 170 countries and territories.

Be prepared before the next power outage.

SUBMITTED BY PATRICK ZAMKIN The school year will soon be here. And if you have young children, you’re one year closer to the day when they may be headed off to college. When that day arrives, will you be financially prepared?

College isn’t cheap. For the 2023–24 academic year, the average cost — including tuition, fees, housing, food, books, transportation and other expenses — was nearly $29,000 for in-state students at fouryear public colleges and universities, and about $60,000 for private schools, according to the College Board. Most students do get some type of financial aid or scholarships, or both, but even the “net” price of college can be considerable. So, it’s a good idea to begin a savings program as early as you can.

One popular way to build money for college expenses is through a 529 education savings plan. When you invest in a 529 plan, your earnings can grow tax deferred and your withdrawals are federally tax free when used for qualified education expenses — tuition, fees, books and so on. And while you can invest in any state’s 529 plan, you might be able to deduct your contributions from your state income tax or receive a state tax credit if you invest in your own state’s plan.

Despite these tax benefits, some people are concerned that a 529 plan can prove costly in terms of lost financial aid. And the value of a 529 plan is looked at as an investment asset on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). However, recent changes to FAFSA may mean that a 529 plan has a relatively small effect on the amount of aid you may receive.

A 529 plan also can be used to pay for other costs, including: • K-12 expenses –You can use a 529 plan to pay K-12 expenses, up to $10,000 per student per year. Not all states comply with this 529 expansion

Real Estate Questions & Answers CATHY & JIM HIGGINS Question: We put a contract on a Home, and gave a good faith promise of $1000. We were told it would be held and not cashed.

Now we have found out it was cashed and put in escrow. Should the broker have cashed this check even though our loan has not been approved yet?

Answer: When a real estate bid is made it typically includes a written offer, a deposit and, usually, a loan “pre-approval” letter from a lender.

The purpose of the deposit is to compensate the seller if the buyer does not go through with the agreement -- for instance, if the buyer does not apply for a loan.

As to a pre-approval letter from a lender, it is generally evidence that a buyer has met with a loan officer and that the loan officer believes that the buyer will qualify for a given amount of financing. However, a pre-approval letter

for K-12, so you might not be able to claim deductions and your withdrawals could be subject to state tax penalties.

• Apprenticeship programs – A 529 plan can be used to pay for most expenses connected to apprenticeship programs registered with the U.S. Department of Labor. These programs are often available at community colleges and combine classroom education with onthe-job training.

• Student loans – You can withdraw funds from a 529 plan to repay qualified federal private and student loans, up to $10,000 for each 529 plan beneficiary and another $10,000 for each of the beneficiary’s siblings.

Another potential advantage of a 529 plan is its transferability. If you’ve named a child as a 529 plan beneficiary, and that child eventually chooses not to pursue any post-secondary education, you — as the account owner — can name another family member as beneficiary. And with the passage of the SECURE 2.0 Act, any unused 529 plan funds up to a lifetime limit of $35,000 can be transferred to a Roth IRA for a beneficiary, free of taxes and penalties. There are certain rules governing this 529-to-Roth move — for example, you must have had your 529 plan at least 15 years — so you’ll want to consult with your tax advisor before making any moves in this area.

If you’d like to invest in your children’s future education, a 529 plan can be a good choice — so study up on it soon.

is not an absolute loan commitment because the lender needs to check such items as the buyer’s income, property’s title, survey, etc.

It may be that the broker said the $1000 would not be placed in escrow until the offer was accepted. If your offer was accepted, then the broker would be obligated to make a deposit unless the offer included language to the contrary.

The deposit should be placed in the broker’s “escrow” or trust account and not co-mingled with the broker’s money.

ST. PAUL’S EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN CHURCH & SCHOOL

RICHARD ZEKVELD The Ten Commandments accomplish multiple purposes in our lives. For one, they function like a mirror.

Imagine you’re covered with toxic sludge. However, you don’t realize how filthy you are until you get in front of the bathroom mirror. At that moment, you gasp as you come face to face with how filthy you really are!

The mirror has done its job. The mirror, however, can only show you your filth. It can’t wash it away. That’s what the shower is for. The mirror shows you your need for a shower. In response, you jump into the shower. The water washes away your filth and you emerge fresh and clean.

So also with the Ten Commandments. Romans 3:19-20 says, “Now we know that whatever the law says it speaks to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and the whole world may be held accountable to God. For by works of the law no human being will be justified in his sight, since through the law comes knowledge of sin.”

The 1st commandment says, “You shall have no other gods before me.” Like a mirror, it exposes my idol-worship.

When I’m willing to do what is wrong in God’s eyes to gain the approval of others, the 1st commandment reveals that approval is my idol. If I’m willing to sin to gain approval, then approval is my god.

That revelation is a gift! It points me to Christ who died to wash away my sins so that I can be a forgiven, righteous child of God. “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9).

Roberta’s love for words and knowledge led her to a successful teaching career.

For 20 years, she was a K-12 Teacher in the Chicago Public School District where she was loved by her many students.

Roberta’s commitment to her community was evident through her extensive advocacy for civil rights, participating in marches and many other organized protests. She really enjoyed cooking and Fall was her favorite time of year. Her hobbies included sewing, shopping, dancing, watching the stars, and listening to the weather channel.

Hospital Sent Unmatching Info WOODROW WILCOX On July 19, 2024, I checked a bill for a client who lives in central Indiana. A hospital wanted a balance of $585.41.

With some editing to protect privacy, here is the letter that I sent to the Patient Accounts Manager at the hospital.

Our client sent to our firm a bill from your firm for our review. The bill seeks a balance of $585.41 on Account Number XXXXXXX for services rendered on 10/04/2023.

I phoned the Medicare supplement insurance company of the client/patient. I asked them what they knew about this claim. Here is their response.

Your firm keeps sending incomplete information about this claim. The secondary insurer did not get a crossover of this claim from Medicare. It requested from your firm the needed information on a paper claim. But your firm sends a bill and Medicare EOB information that do not match. The claim information must match for the secondary to send a check for the balance. The senior citizen patient DID NOT CAUSE THE BILLING PROBLEM.

Please, do the right thing and do not hound the senior citizen for a problem that she did not cause. Instead, send both the original billing information and the Medicare EOB information (so that these items match) to the insurance company at the following address.

All the help that I am giving this client is FREE OF CHARGE. This insurance agency gives such service without charge to demonstrate to our clients that we really do care for them. If your insurance agent or agency does not give this high level of customer service, why not switch to an insurance agency that does?

Note: Woodrow Wilcox is the senior medical bill case worker at Senior Care Insurance Services in Merrillville, Indiana. He has saved clients of that firm over three million dollars by fighting mistakes and fraud in the Medicare system.

South suburban airport could bring over $1B in economic activity, per report

By ANDREW ADAMS Capitol News Illinois aadams@capitolnewsillinois.com A new airport in Chicago’s far south suburbs could bring thousands of jobs and a $1 billion economic impact, according to a new report, but state and local officials expressed concerns about the future of the long-delayed project.

A study from the Illinois Economic Policy Institute, a think tank with ties to organized labor, found that building a cargofocused airport in the south suburbs would create around 6,300 total jobs.

The plan for an airport in the south suburbs has been proposed and discussed in various forms for decades, with the earliest proposals coming in the 1960s. The state has commissioned several studies on the plan’s viability since the early 1990s.

While previous proposals included passenger travel, the current plan is for a cargo-only airport between Beecher and Peotone.

The state currently owns 89 percent of the land needed to build such an airport.

In 2019 lawmakers allocated $162 million in capital funding to build a new interchange on Interstate 57 to, at least in part, allow more traffic to reach the area where the airport could be built. Construction is set to begin in the current fiscal year, which the report suggests will bring in an additional 1,500 jobs and boost economic activity by $314 million.

The airport would also generate approximately $24 million each year in economic activity and $2 million each year in state and local tax revenues, according to the report.

“Once it is built, the south suburban airport would have these long-lasting positive effects well after the construction phase,” ILEPI economist Frank Manzo said in an interview.

ILEPI Transportation Director Mary Tyler, a co-author of the report alongside Manzo, noted that the south suburban region has become a freight hub boosted by the rise in e-commerce over recent years.

“You’ve got I-57. You’ve got, in Joliet, the inland port, the navigable waterways,” she said. “It’s obvious because you can see Will County has already grown so much in terms of distribution centers and all the other freight growth that the industry has already viewed that as a key area.”

Tyler noted that freight traffic at O’Hare Airport in Chicago and in Rockford almost doubled between 2010 and 2022. Air freight traffic in Rockford alone grew by 273 percent over the same time, partially due to e-commerce giant Amazon building a facility there in 2016.

“The Chicago area is primed for air cargo,” Tyler said.

The Illinois General Assembly has recently taken several steps to advance progress on the long-delayed south suburban airport.

In 2023, state legislators passed a law requiring the Illinois Department of Transportation to develop a process for requesting contractors and other developers to submit plans.

A spokesperson for IDOT said the department is working on a “request for qualifications,” an early step in the bidding process for large projects like this, but the department has not released it.

Earlier this year, lawmakers revisited the subject and passed a bill that allows IDOT to accept unsolicited bids for the project.

That legislation awaits the governor’s signature before it can go into effect.

Rep. Will Davis, D-Homewood, who sponsored both bills, said in an interview he is frustrated with the project’s slow progress.

He said that political leadership in the state has “failed to bring us all together” to push the development forward.

“When we talk about growth and development in the state of Illinois, it doesn’t get much better than an airport,” Davis said.

Davis pointed to the Perot Field Fort Worth Alliance Airport in Fort Worth, Texas, as an example of the kind of development that he’d like to see in the south suburbs. That airport, which opened in the late 1980s, serves as a regional hub for FedEx and Amazon Air. “Why would we not want a thriving development like that in Illinois?” he said.

Davis said that, in his district, which includes Harvey and Oak Forest, there is “excitement” about the project.

But some in Will County, where the project is slated to be built, remain opposed.

Sen. Rachel Ventura, D-Joliet, voted against both recent bills dealing with the airport and remains opposed to a cargo airport in the area.

In an interview, she said the boom in warehouses and freight traffic in recent years has contributed to increased flooding and higher maintenance costs for local roads.

“All of that burden goes to the residents here,” Ventura said.

Ventura also said that Will County residents and local governments are “exasperated” and feel like they have not had a seat at the table during discussions of the airport.

Judy Ogalla, who was first elected to the Will County Board in 2012 and elected to be the board’s chair in 2022, lives near Peotone. Ogalla is a longtime critic of the airport plan and has pushed the board to oppose the project.

She calls her home an “island,” one of the few parcels of land near her that hasn’t been purchased by the state as part of the development of the airport.

She said the airport is “unnecessary,” adding that the state owning so much land has impeded the abilities for communities like Peotone and Beecher to grow.

“In these communities, their growth has been stunted,” she said.

She also noted that because the state owns so much of the land, some local governments, like a nearby water conservation district, have lost out on tax revenue that otherwise would have supported their operations in the roughly 20 years since the state started purchasing land.

“I think there’s a better use for the land,” Ogalla said.

Ogalla instead advocates for using that land for agricultural research and education, something the board included in its most recent state legislative agenda.

Governor Pritzker Signs Bill Making Prescription Inhalers More Affordable Asthma and COPD patients in Illinois can breathe easier in wake of Governor J.B. Pritzker signing Illinois Senate Bill SB3203 into law today. The measure, sponsored by Senator Mattie Hunter (D-Chicago), caps the monthly cost of a single prescription inhaler—including rescue and controller inhalers— at $25. The bill passed the Legislature in May. Kristina Hamilton, Illinois Director of Advocacy for the American Lung Association, issued the following statement in response to the bill signing: “We applaud Governor Pritzker for signing Illinois Senate bill SB3203 into law and helping to reduce the financial burden of

rising inhaler costs for Illinoisans. This new law will not only make these life-saving medications more affordable for Illinois residents, but accessible too.

People with chronic lung disease often need two to three inhalers. Nearly 1 in 4 adults who take prescription drugs report difficulty affording their costs. Nationwide, the annual per person medical cost of asthma was $1,830 for prescriptions alone.

The bill will take effect on January 1, 2025, and will apply to health insurance plans under the Illinois Insurance Code.”

Illinois Drivers Confused by EV Messaging as Election Rhetoric Intensifies.

Electric vehicles (EVs) have certainly taken a prominent spot in media coverage lately, with many reports singing praises of how they’re kinder to the planet, easier on the wallet in the long run, and pretty zippy to drive. Plus, there’s that sweetener of tax breaks and incentives that governments are throwing into the mix to get us all on board. But, there are drawbacks. Forking out more cash upfront, fretting over whether your battery will give up the ghost sooner rather than later, and the head-scratching over where you’ll next be able to charge up are real deal-breakers for some.

The political landscape further muddles the situation. Former President Trump, who once criticized EVs, has softened his stance since growing friendlier with Tesla’s Elon Musk. Recently, Trump told a rally in Michigan, “I’m constantly talking about electric vehicles but I don’t mean I’m against them. I’m totally for them.” This shift, coupled with ongoing mixed signals from the political arena, leaves many drivers at a crossroads - enticed by the promise of EVs but wary of their current limitations.

“These are valid apprehensions that deserve attention, but they shouldn’t overshadow the remarkable progress and potential of EV technology,” says Brentley Jones, owner of Quantrell Subaru.

In an effort to gauge where drivers stand on this, Quantrell Subaru surveyed 3,000 drivers to understand the public’s hesitations and hopes regarding EVs. The survey indicated a split - it appears many Illinoisans love the idea but aren’t quite ready to break up with their gas-guzzlers just yet. They’re craving more info and some reassurance that the tech won’t let them down.

The study revealed that almost half of (41%) Illinois drivers remain uncertain about the practicality of switching to an EV, highlighting the need for clearer information. For 20%, the higher upfront cost is a drawback. Another 20% express concern about the current state of charging station networks. And, naturally, the potential costs and hassles of battery replacement weigh on the minds of 26% of those surveyed.

On the flip side, a good number of drivers are clearly swayed

by the positive impact on the environment, with 32% pointing to the appeal of lower running costs. The high-performance aspect of EVs hasn’t gone unnoticed either, attracting 19% of potential buyers, while government incentives are a deciding factor for 15%, underscoring the role that policy plays in consumer decisions.

Regarding those incentives, the survey suggests that their removal could significantly cool the Illinois public’s interest in EVs, with 62% indicating they might rethink an EV purchase.

Moreover, a little over half support the idea of moving away from gas-powered cars altogether, reflecting a growing readiness for a more sustainable mode of transport.

However, there’s a degree of mistrust in the mix, with 57% viewing the push for EVs as potentially profit-driven, casting doubt on the sincerity of the sustainability narrative.

The power of the media is also evident, with positive reporting on EVs swaying 29% of survey participants towards considering an EV. Yet, some are wary, with 43% concerned about the possibility of increased surveillance and control over their driving patterns through EV technology.

While there are hurdles to overcome, the future of EVs is bright.

Dealers find themselves at the frontlines, tasked with eliminating customers’ apprehensions around issues like range limitations, battery degradation, and long-term maintenance costs. Through open conversations and access to accurate data, they can demystify the EV ownership experience,” continues Mr Jones Jones. “With continued innovation, investment in infrastructure, and collaborative efforts between stakeholders, we can pave the way for a greener, more sustainable tomorrow. By embracing the EV revolution, we not only drive towards cleaner air and a healthier planet but also unlock a world of exciting possibilities on the road ahead.”

Y? WHY NOT!

YOU MUST HAVE ZEAL

by Janice R Newman Have you ever watched or heard about someone chasing a dream with all their heart?

Actors Tyler Perry and Vin Diesel pursued their acting and film careers by acquiring funds to produce their first projects. J.K. Rowlings fervently would not give up hope of selling her Harry Potter novel after numerous rejections. The disciples pursued their passion for Jesus through rejection, pain, suffering, and death. All around us, you see people actively working with a deep commitment to accomplish their heart’s desire. Musicians and athletes train tirelessly for hours. This mindset and attitude keep us focused on the end results: success for our endeavors.

To live a fulfilling life, you must have a zeal for something. Zeal is when you are very excited and passionate about something, and it drives you to work hard and stay focused to accomplish what you desire. To succeed in any endeavor, you must develop a deep passion and zeal for it. To be zealous, you must have passion for something that you want and create a burning desire for something in your life with great enthusiasm.

It drives you to see it to the end. People typically develop a zeal to have a family, finish their degree, get a promotion, or build a stronger relationship with God. Zeal pushes us to work harder and dream bigger. It makes the difference between being average and truly excelling in your achievements. Zeal brings excitement and energy to the experience and pursuit. If you want to finish your degree or start a business, you must have a passion for learning, pushing forward, and determination to keep going when things get challenging. You develop zeal by discovering something that you truly desire to have, accomplish, or learn.

Without zeal, you lose focus, motivation, and lastly interest in your goals. Reflect on the joy and purpose your passion brings to

build your zeal.

Sometimes people get zealous confused with jealous, which is wanting what someone else has. Zealous is a positive attitude in working hard on your goals or pursuits but not conveying what someone else has or comparing yourself to them. We should focus on our individual goals and be willing to work to reach them. Zeal is the driving force and burning desire that becomes the center focus of our everyday lives. We should also desire God with a greater zeal and have God as the center of our lives.

Spiritually, people can acquire a zeal for God. In Acts 22:3, Paul says he “… was zealous toward God”. Paul was very passionate and dedicated his life to following God. He set a good example for us that we should have zeal in all areas of our lives, including our relationship with God. We should be passionate about growing a close relationship with God by wanting to learn more about Him, reading the Bible, and living in a pleasing way to Him. This fierce zeal keeps us excited about our faith even during trouble. The Bible encourages us in Romans 12:11, “Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.”

Pray for strength and guidance continuously in good and bad times.

Zeal is the fuel that burns a strong desire for us to pursue and conquer our personal goals, relationships, or faith.

Having zeal makes a difference between being ordinary and extraordinary, or from accomplishing a little to a lot. It pushes us to be and do better, strive harder, and lead us to a purposeful life. Remember why you are pursuing your goals. Are you pursuing your dreams and God with zeal? Y? Why Not! Like us on Facebook at https://www. facebook.com/ywhynotshow/

Also beware of ads that claim to guarantee loans regardless of credit and note that if a credit repair company does business only over the phone it is illegal to request any money before delivering its service. All funds are based in US dollars. Toll free numbers may or may not reach Canada.
