Nearly 300 Attend Black History Event

More that 250 people filled the pews at the First Reformed Church in South Holland Friday evening for a program hosted by the Midwest Underground Railroad Network (MURN) to enjoy music, traditional African dance, storytelling, drama and more.

The event was billed as a Celebration of Black History Month, sponsored, in-part, by the Village of South Holland and MURN, an organization devoted to public teaching about the the stories of escaped slaves- Freedom Seekers- and those who assisted them on their journeys toward freedom prior to the Civil War and Emancipation.

Attendees were treated to several selections of spiritual song provided by the South Holland Master Chorale under the direction of Conductor Phil Bauman. Solos by Lana Lewis (with Audience participation), “Wade in the Water” and “Lord, How Come Me Here;” and Alvin “The Voice” Mack singing “Deep River” and “Sometimes I feel Like a

Motherless Child.”

Ashia Johnson excited the crowd with a lively African dance routine. Faces of Light Drama Club, under the direction of Susan Reese from Calvin Christian School, performed a skit about young Caroline Quarlls, who escaped slavery in Missouri at age 16, making the rugged 1,200 mile trip to freedom in Canada- dodging slavecatchers along the way.

The occasion was also an opportunity for MURN to announce their new name, formerly the Little Calumet River Underground Railroad Project, and to introduce their move to the First Reformed Church campus.

Among the audience were Village Trustee Cynthia Nylen and the Deputy Consul General of the Netherlands, Jeroen Beekman.

Question: One day we hear it’s a Buyer’s market, then we hear it’s a Seller’s market. Which is it now?

Answer: A buyer’s market occurs when supply exceeds demand. To put it another way, there are plenty of homes for sale, but there’s a shortage of interested buyers. These conditions give buyers leverage over sellers because when supply is higher and demand is lower, the market is forced to respond.

In a buyer’s market, real estate prices decrease, and homes linger on the market longer. So, sellers must compete with each other in order to attract buyers.

Typically, sellers will drop their asking prices to gain an advantage in the market. Furthermore, they are much more willing to negotiate offers to prevent buyers from walking away.

A seller’s market arises when demand exceeds supply.

In other words, there are many interested buyers, but the real estate inventory is low. Since there are fewer homes available, sellers are at an advantage.

In a seller’s market, homes sell faster, and buyers must compete with each other in order to score a property.

These market conditions often make buyers willing to spend more on a home than they would otherwise.

Therefore, sellers can raise their asking prices.

The market has shifted in the last 2 years from a strong sellers’ market to a somewhat strong sellers’ market.

Multiple contracts are not quite as common, but selling prices are still good.

When will this change? When Home supply is greater than demand.

On January 23, 2025, I met with a client to review the papers regarding a bill from a Chicago area hospital for $1,668.54. The client is a senior citizen woman from Crown Point, Indiana. I worked with the client over two hours -- from 11 am to 1:30 pm.

With some editing to protect privacy, here is the letter that I sent to the patient billing department of the hospital.

Dear Patient Billing Manager, You sent our client a bill with a balance of $1,668.54 on Guarantor Number XXXXXXX for services rendered 4/10 through 11/2024.

I reviewed the bill with her and phoned her secondary insurer to learn what it knew of this claim.

Here is what the secondary insurer reported.

It got the claim on 10/25/2024. It returned the claim to your firm with a letter on 10/28/2024. That letter requested that your firm resubmit the claim with the Medicare Remittance Advice from the original MAC that had jurisdiction. The secondary needs the original with details. You sent them only a summary.

If you have questions, phone the secondary at 866-XXX-XXXX. Send the items to Claims, [company name and address].

All the help that I gave this client was FREE OF CHARGE. This insurance agency helps all our clients with such medical bill problems. We do that to demonstrate to our clients that we really appreciate and care about them. If your insurance agent or agency does not give the same high level of customer service, why don’t you switch to one that does. We do!

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 or three million dollars. Also, Wilcox wrote the book SOLVING MEDICARE PROBLEM$ which is available from book stores or online.

On March 8, we observe International Women’s Day. Although this event celebrates women’s achievements, it’s still true that women, especially caregivers, face significant financial hurdles. How can these challenges be met?

To begin with, let’s look at some concerning statistics connected to American women in the “sandwich generation” — those who care for children and parents or other relatives — from a study by Edward Jones and research firms NEXT360 and Morning Consult: • Nearly half of women report feeling financially strained.

• Almost two-thirds of women say caregiving duties have harmed their ability to save for their own financial goals.

• More than half of women have had to reduce their professional responsibilities due to caregiving, resulting in the loss of potential income.

So, if you’re a sandwich-generation woman, what can you do to improve your financial outlook?

Consider these suggestions: • Establish your own financial goals. Depending on the length and complexity of your caregiving duties, your own financial goals could be affected. For example, you may need to change your retirement date from what you had originally intended, or else adjust the retirement lifestyle you had envisioned. However, this doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try to establish your own short- and long-term financial goals and then create a strategy for achieving them. In doing so, you may find it helpful to work with a financial professional.

• Contribute as much as you can to your retirement accounts.

Your caregiving obligations may be preventing you from working as many hours as you like, or perhaps even from accepting a higher-paying position. In either case, your ability to contribute to your retirement accounts may well be diminished.

Nonetheless, each month try to put

in as much as you can afford to your IRA and your 401(k) or similar employer-sponsored retirement plan.

And if you do get salary increases, think about boosting your monthly contributions to your plan.

• Don’t rush into taking Social Security. You can start collecting Social Security as early as age 62, and you might be tempted to do so if you’re feeling some financial pressure because of your caregiving responsibilities. But your monthly benefits can be bigger if you wait until your full retirement age, which will be age 67 if you were born in 1960 or later. So, if you can find other ways to bridge this gap — possibly through a spouse’s income or your own savings — it may well benefit you to wait as long as you can before collecting.

• Maintain separate finances. If your parents are concerned about falling behind on their bills, they might suggest combining their bank accounts with yours. This may not be a good idea — if your finances get tangled with those of your parents, you could end up paying for some of their expenses, even if they can afford to do so themselves.

Consequently, try to keep your finances separate.

• Create a financial power of attorney. You may want to see whether your parents will agree to give you a financial power of attorney, so you can make decisions on their behalf should they become incapacitated. Such an arrangement can help protect them and you.

There’s no sugar-coating it: Caregiving can be financially taxing on caregivers.

But by taking the appropriate steps, you may be able to help reduce some of the stress involved.

Heart Smart RICHARD ZEKVELD Early in life, C.S. Lewis rejected the Christian God for intellectual reasons. Only later did he see his unexamined heart reasons. “The heart has reasons the mind knows nothing of.”

Lewis was born with a frustrating birth defect.

Cancer robbed him of his mother and distanced him from his father. At boarding school, the teacher beat his students a lot and taught them little. He drove himself crazy, attempting the perfect prayer life but falling short. Religion for Lewis was joyless, impersonal and oppressive. These experiences made the world “a menacing and unfriendly place….

Several years before I read Lucretius I felt the force of his argument… for atheism… ‘Had God designed the world, it would not be a world so frail and faulty as we see.’”1 Lewis’s world “might be grim and deadly but at least it was free from the Christian God… No… infinite disaster could overtake you in it. Death ended all…

The horror of the Christian universe was that it had no door marked Exit…. But, of course, what mattered most of all was my deep-seated hatred of authority…

No word in my vocabulary expressed deeper hatred than the word Interference.”2 For Lewis, the Christian God was the ultimate, untrustworthy Interferer.

But God pursued him. Moments of intense longing ambushed Lewis over and over again, triggered by memories, great stories that stoked his imagination, or something beautiful in creation. These pointed him to a God to be desired, not dreaded; the God who loves us in Jesus. Finally, Lewis surrendered to the Christian God. He went on to write many great works, including the Chronicles of Narnia. They are all worth reading.

Y? WHY NOT!

Always Be Humble and Hopeful

by Janice R Newman Humility and hopefulness are character traits that can significantly increase our motivation and lead to success. Being humble moves the focus toward the needs of others versus ourselves while being hopeful keeps us moving towards a goal. Together, these two combine to build our faith and foundation for success in achieving our goals and working towards making an impact for the greater good of others.

The first part of Tim McGraw’s hit song Be Humble and Kind reflects the need to be humble by putting others’ needs before ours. Humility is a key motivator because it keeps us focused on the needs of others, which is one of the main driving forces for having a business, charitable organization, or giving back to society. You build your business or venture based on the potential needs, desires, and wants of the customer.

A business, for example, may be created for profit, but it must serve a purpose beyond personal gain. If a company exists solely to glorify the owner, it could fail. It must fulfill a void to be successful. True success comes from recognizing and addressing the needs and problems of the customer or community. Humility reinforces the importance of having a hopeful mindset to help you complete your goals.

When you develop a hopeful mindset, you think and act expecting a good outcome and success. Hopeful people believe that good things will happen.

Even when the way is unclear on how it will be achieved, being hopeful, you stay motivated and focused to push forward to the end.

Isaiah 40:31 states, “But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint”.

Hope increases our energy, strengthens our faith, and changes our dreams into burning desires that propel us forward.

This exemplifies how hope increases our energy, strengthens our faith, and changes our purpose into a burning

desire that powers us forward.

The character traits of humility and hope work together as a great motivational tool because they create balance. Humility keeps us grounded by reminding us that life is not solely about us or our achievements. Hope keeps us believing and striving for a better tomorrow. We embrace that sometimes others’ needs supersede our needs. By developing both traits, we learn not to be arrogant and selfish.

An example is the owners and staff of The Shopper and The Lansing Journal being dedicated to keeping the papers thriving by providing weekly local news that might otherwise go unreported. They have a desire to serve the community and continue to produce high-quality content by investigating and reporting on local topics. They are hopeful that the service they provide will fill the community’s needs so they continue to work diligently towards producing an outstanding publication to keep others informed. They believe in their mission, and that belief fuels their motivation.

Acts of humility and hope are present in our everyday lives. Whether it’s helping a family member, assisting a neighbor, or helping a stranger without desiring recognition, we find fulfillment in servicing or making a sacrifice to help others. Other examples include a parent working extra hours to provide for their family, volunteering by donating time for a church food drive, or organizing a community park cleanup event.

Our motivation is replenished through being humble and hopeful. Most people have an innate desire to help others, and when we do, we are reminded of how blessed we truly are. Humility keeps our intentions focused on others and hope encourages us to push forward. In the end, by serving others, we strive for something greater than ourselves which leads to deeper satisfaction and joy in our lives. Y? Why Not!
