Township Supervisor Adheres To Listening Tour

BY PETER HANCOCK Capitol News Illinois phancock@capitolnewsillinois.com

SPRINGFIELD – Minimum wage workers in Illinois will see a boost in their hourly pay to $12 per hour starting Jan. 1, while tenants in affordable housing units will be allowed to keep pets.

Those are just some of the more than 300 new laws that take effect in the new year.

Of Seniors in Presenting Health And Resource Fair

To The Region

The minimum wage increase is actually the result of a 2019 law that phases in a state minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2025. This year, it will increase by one dollar to $12 an hour.

tenants to keep pets is the result of Senate Bill 154, by Sen. Linda Holmes, D-Aurora, and Rep. Stephanie Kifowit, D-Oswego. It provides that tenants of multifamily housing units that are acquired, built or renovated with money from the Illinois Affordable Housing Trust Fund may keep up to two cats or one dog weighing less than 50 pounds. It applies to residents of housing units that are designated as affordable housing for low- and very-lowincome families. The bill passed both chambers in its final form on May 30 and Gov. JB Pritzker signed it into law Aug. 6.

Supervisor Jordan felt compelled to organize the above-mentioned event after conducting a recent listening tour in which seniors have experienced recent challenges of understanding their various utility bills as well as seeking to access more health services. Collectively the seniors have expressed their gratitude to the wealth of services in which Rich Township provides and yearns to take advantage of the enormous programs that are forthcoming.

“WE CAN’T ALLOW OUR SENIORS TO BE CHALLENGED BY RED TAPE AND LACK OF INFORMATION”

“We are honored to host an event that truly is impactful to the day to day lives of our beloved seniors. Moreover, words could never express our sincere gratitude to ComEd for embracing our seniors as well as providing the necessary information that will provide support and resolve to their respective billing matters.” says Supervisor Jordan.

Other new laws include:

Seniors and other community members were able to converse directly with ComEd representatives to connect to bill-assistance programs, energy-efficiency offerings, and other resources to help families manage their energy use and lower electric bills. ComEd’s

involvement is an extension of its award-winning Powering Lives Resource Fairs, which brings bill-assistance and other support programs directly to individuals and families who need them most. Blue Cross/ Blue Shield was on hand to offer a wide range of new services geared towards expanding health care as well as further educating people on the importance of preventative healthcare. In addition, an assembly of other local and regional agencies were on site to offer much needed information which the senior community can take full advantage of.

Vehicle taxes: SB58 raises the private vehicle tax, which is a sales tax paid on the purchase of vehicles, by $75 for each model year where the purchase price is less than $15,000 and by $100 for vehicles priced above that amount. However, the registration fee for trailers weighing less than 3,000 pounds will drop to $36 instead of $118.

Illinois State Representative Debbie Meyers-Martin adds, “Supervisor Jordan and the Rich Township Board have always put such high emphasis on the seniors of Rich Township. Collectively the Board is so deserving of last year’s announcement of being bestowed the honor of the 2023 Township of the Year. However, this event is a shining example of the commitment to people and their most critical needs by this Township Board. I am fully supportive of the township’s mission of helping people in their most vulnerable state.”

LAPOINTE’S SPRING 2025 COLLECTION FEATURES OPRAH WINFREY

NEW YORK, PRNewswire -- LaPointe, the New York City based fashion brand is thrilled to announce the unveiling of its Spring 2025 Collection featuring Oprah Winfrey. The collection’s full name is LaPointe Spring 25: The Muse.

As a brand founded by women, anchored around empowerment and making your statement, Creative Director Sally LaPointe could think of no better Muse for Spring 2025, or any season for that matter, than Oprah Winfrey to personify the ethos LaPointe stands for.

The Spring 2025 LaPointe lookbook was photographed by Ruven Afanador and features Winfrey wearing looks in Jade, Oat, White and Black with pops of color in Hot Pink, Deep Pink and Yellow Glow. The collection redefines the uncomplicated styling the brand has become known for.

“I view Oprah as my North Star,” said LaPointe. “We have been dressing her periodically for a few years now, so I have gotten to understand her style and what she gravitates towards, which aligns perfectly with the LaPointe ethos I want to project. She epitomizes who the LaPointe woman is in every way: a strong, courageous individual who dresses for herself and no one else. I view her as someone who wants to look put together but not over-

done and doesn’t sacrifice comfort in order to show up as her most confident self. In the short time we spent together, she instilled in me this notion of “Never giving up and being true to yourself” that stuck, and I hope will resonate with our audience around this collection.”

Oprah Winfrey said: “The main reason I said yes was because of how warm and open Sally was when I first met her. She is a woman in power, empowering other women through her work, her artistry and her clothes - and I wanted to support that.”

The collection will be available for online pre-orders via ShopLapointe.com.

LaPointe, known for its bold designs for empowered women, delivers 8+ collections annually, and is featured in top retailers including Neiman Marcus, Kirna Zabete, FWRD, Moda Operandi & Harrods. Boasting a loyal celebrity following, ranging from Beyoncé, Rihanna, Sydney Sweeney, and Oprah Winfrey to multiple first ladies including Jill Biden and Michelle Obama, the brand has become a go to for bold statements.

NAREB ANNOUNCES 2024 BLACK WEALTH SUMMIT AT CLARK

ATLANTA UNIVERSITY ON NOV. 15

ATLANTA, GA – With an unwavering commitment to increasing Black homeownership and building Black wealth, the National Association of Real Estate Brokers (NAREB) will hold its 2024 Black Wealth Summit at Clark Atlanta University on November 15 and a Building Black Wealth community event the next day, November 16.

“NAREB is the leading voice of Black real estate professionals, and we are unyielding in our pursuit of advancing Black homeownership and wealth in America,” said Dr. Courtney Johnson Rose, NAREB’s President. “Our annual summits provide data and information that bolster these causes while urging stakeholders, from mortgage lenders to government policymakers, to support efforts to bring equity to all communities.”

At the Black Summit, NAREB will provide a platform for national leaders, including forums on several comprehensive studies commissioned by NAREB. These studies, addressing critical areas to increase Black homeownership and wealth in America, will provide valuable information and insights. One study examines appraisal bias and the impact of recent government and private sector efforts to curtail it. The second study targets an issue that has been quietly plaguing Black communities for decades: the dispersal of heir property and how to curb its devastating impact.

In addition, the 2024 State of Housing in Black America (SHIBA) study will provide an extensive analysis of Black homeownership and the historical barriers Blacks have faced when seeking to purchase a home. Its 11th edition, this pivotal resource will be instrumental in influ-

encing public policies and practices that will shape the homebuying environment for African Americans.

Working with the African American Mayors Association, the National Bar Association, The Church Of God In Christ, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, and Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, NAREB will host a Building Black Wealth Tour event at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church on November 16 with Senior Pastor Dr. Jamal Bryant.

Over the past year, the NAREB Building Black Wealth Tour has organized more than 100 events that provide local communities with classes, workshops, and one-on-one counseling to advise families on homebuying, investing, and careers in real estate. There is also a course on heir’s property, educating families on how to keep real estate in their families and protect their communities from gentrification.

NAREB has organized the tour to counter the inequities in American society. NAREB’s 2023 State of Housing in Black America study found that the Black-White wealth gap is so expansive that the 400 wealthiest Americans control the same amount of wealth as all 48 million Blacks living in the United States.

Dr. Rose said data shows two million mortgage-ready Black Americans don’t own homes.

“These families and individuals have the credit and income to qualify for a home mortgage,” she said.

“The NAREB Building Black Wealth Tour goes into communities nationwide to find these consumers, educate them, and inspire them to build wealth.”

Don’t Second Guess Entitlement

It has been said that we should never assume, because it will make an *** of u & me. Even knowing that, nearly 70% of the people that we know have failed to plan for the one certainty of life – death. This means that at death the certainty of what will happen to your assets (bank accounts, investment accounts, real estate, motor vehicles, and personal belongings) without a plan, is very uncertain.

If you are married and believe that you are entitled to inherit 100% of the assets and benefits of your deceased spouse, you may be in for a surprise.

If your spouse had recognized children outside of your marriage or was previously married, these relationships outside of your marriage may affect the monthly benefits that you and/or your children may be entitled to receive, especially government benefits.

The earlier relationships that either you or your spouse have had can also change the percentage of your entitlement to the property that you occupy and/or currently own jointly. These are the areas of discussion that spouses or common law partners should address now with their legal counsel. As we have often heard, an ounce of prevention is worth a ton of cure. I urge you to get professional advice today to get your “HOUSE” in order, tomorrow may be too late.

Helps Dads Laugh Through Their Challenges with “Big Dad Energy” Tour

COLUMBIA, S.C., PRNewswire -- America’s Got Talent Comedian Mike Goodwin, known for his signature bow tie and clean comedy, is traveling the country with sell-out shows for his “Big Dad Energy” tour, bringing laughter and light-heartedness to dads everywhere. This tour provides a hilarious respite for dads and all adults on the ups and downs of fatherhood and a comedic look at healing disappointments with a father figure. He will be live in Washington D.C., Philadelphia and cities around North Carolina in September and October.

Goodwin continues to catch the attention of fellow comedians including Jamie Foxx who regularly comments on his posts and D.L. Hughley who posted Mike’s hilarious experience of being a Black man in the South.

As the father of two teens, Goodwin keeps it honest on parenting, including during an appearance on the Today Show, “My wife and I have two teenagers. The grocery bill has increased. So have the smells,” he shared.

Goodin was raised in a family that had its share of dysfunction. He learned at an early age how to use laughter to pierce through tension and in some cases, ease pain. As he kicked off the “Big Dad Energy” tour in 2023, he was helping care for his dad who was in hospice and passed away in

agers to the emotional experience of watching his daughter bloom before his eyes - as he sent Gabby to prom and now her senior year of high school, Mike gives an honest take on parenting. The Goodwins are an impactful family as Goodwin’s daughter Gabby is the inventor of GaBBY Bows and founder haircare accessory line Confidence by Gabby Goodwin, run by Mike’s wife Rozalyn and sold in all 50 U.S. states and more than 15 countries.

A native of Camden, SC, Goodwin continues to make waves in the comedy world with his sharp wit, relatable humor, diverse background and impeccable style.

Highlights:

Big Dad Energy Tour Success: With over 4,000 attendees across multiple sold-out shows, Goodwin’s tour continues to make a significant impact. Follow him on social media and join the conversation using #BigDadEnergyTour.

THE BLACK WOMEN’S HEALTH IMPERATIVE RELEASES BLACK WOMEN VOTE: 2024 HEALTH POLICY

WASHINGTON, PRNewswire -- In celebration of National Voter Registration Day, the Black Women’s Health Imperative (BWHI), the leading national non-profit organization dedicated to the health and well-being of Black women and girls, is proud to release Black Women Vote: 2024 Health Policy Voters Guide. In alignment with BWHI’s mission, the guide was developed as a resource to help Black women better understand the policies and issues at stake that deeply impact their health.

The Black Women’s Health Imperative (BWHI) is dedicated to addressing these pressing issues through innovative programs, research, policy and advocacy that promote health and wellness for Black women and girls. To that end, the 2024 Health Policy Voters Guide is organized by “Five Pillars” central to the health and whole being of Black women:

VOTERS

“For many Black women, 2024 has been a year of profound challenges and impacts on our health and livelihoods. The challenges we face as a community—especially the recent attacks on reproductive freedoms— underscore the need for transformative leadership,” said Linda Goler Blount, MPH, President, Black Women’s Health Imperative. “Let me be clear: Black women and the power of our vote have always been at the forefront of keeping the US democracy intact. This year, we must vote like our lives depend on it. Because they do.”

I. Access to Quality and Affordable Healthcare

II. Healthy Families and Children First

III. Equitable Governance and Relationships

IV. Employment/Education Justice and Equity

V. Technology Access and Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Since the 2020 election, more than 400 bills have been introduced in nearly every state, aiming to restrict voting access, particularly in communities of color. As a result, fundamental rights to health, voting, and the ability to care for families are at risk. The limitations placed on abortion access, family planning services like in vitro fertilization (IVF), maternal care, rural healthcare and more have disproportionately harmed Black women, worsening existing health disparities.

The 2024 voters guide gives users an overview of the presidential, congressional and governor elections to

Udoh, PhD, Executive VP: Policy, Advocacy, and Science, BWHI. “This election and the issues at hand –from reproductive freedoms to the economy – is history making, and we know how these issues impact the everyday lives of Black women. We know what’s at stake. And we urge everyone to exercise their fundamental right on November 5th and stand with the health of Black women and girls.”

AFIB: A SILENT CAUSE OF HEART FAILURE AND STROKE

In this segment, Mintu Turakhia, Cardiologist and Chief Medical Officer at iRhythm and Mellanie True Hills, AFib Patient advocate and creator of National Atrial Fibrillation Awareness Month and founder of StopAFib.org, a global patient advocacy organization, raise awareness of AFib and teach people what to do if they, or their loved ones, are at risk or concerned about the condition.

AFib can be easy to miss, leading to high-stakes health consequences: if AFib is not properly diagnosed and treated, it can lead to health complications including stroke, heart failure and more. Early detection and treatment are critical2. Consider the following:

AFib can happen to anyone: There is 1 in 4 lifetime risk of getting AFib3. It can strike anyone regardless of age, gender, background and general health status.

AFib is more common than many think: An estimated 6.1 million people in the U.S. have AFib, a number projected to balloon to 12 million by 20304.

AFib is a silent intruder: While some people with AFib experience some of the more common symptoms (heart palpitations lightheadedness, extreme fatigue, shortness of breath), many don’t have any symptoms5; in fact, approximately 1/3 of AFib patients are asymptomatic at the time of diagnosis.

The path to diagnosing AFib has not always been straightforward. Consumer wearable devices, like a smartwatch, might alert you about AFib but cannot diagnose you because they are not medical grade. Older technology doesn’t work for accurate detection, either. Symptoms may come and go, and with antiquated technology from the 1960’s (“Holter monitors”) still widely used today, these devices only record 24-48 hours of heart data and can miss detecting AFib.

However, newer medical-grade ECG heart monitors the size of a medium ‘bandage continuously record your

heart rhythms for up to 14 days, helping doctors more accurately diagnose AFib6. You can wear these small and comfortable monitoring devices while going about your daily activities, such as exercising, traveling, showering, and sleeping...
