COUPON

Families of today’s eighth-graders have more options By Melanie Jongsma There was a time when “high school” was not a decision that had to be made; it was just something that happened after eighth grade. You and most of the other members of your eighth-grade class all simply went to the same high school, the one down the street. “College” would be the first educational choice you really had to put thought into. But for today’s eighth-graders, a full menu of high school options is available. And in Lansing, with one of the two available high schools leaving the area, families are giving careful consideration to those options.

Excellence

When a group of parents and educators began meeting four years ago to consider creating a new type of high school, giving people another menu item wasn’t one of their top priorities. The group that eventually became the Board of Unity Christian Academy (UCA) wanted first to provide an excellent education. Since they were willing to start with a blank slate, they were able to re-imagine everything, asking, essentially, “What is high school for?” They let the answers to that question determine curriculum, staffing, schedule, and even tuition. The result is Unity Christian Academy, a high school “redefined and redesigned.” Even so, in these months leading up to the opening day (August 15), the new landscape of educational choice has become a part of the conversation with prospective families.

Choices

“It used to be you just stayed with your friends,” said Bill Boerman-Cornell, father of one of UCA’s first enrollees. His eighth-grade daughter Frances recently made the decision to attend UCA, after considering the menu of options. “We’re all going to so many different places now,” Frances said of her classmates at South Holland’s Calvin Christian School. The options her cohort is scattering to include Illiana, Chicago Christian, Marian Catholic, Homewood-Flossmoor, and Thornwood. Frances did her own research and narrowed her choices to Illiana, Chicago Christian, and UCA. When UCA’s Academic Dean Neil Okuley came and talked to her class, she was convinced that Unity was the best choice for her. She had visited her two other choices, but UCA is, in real estate terms, blue sky—a vision, a plan, a lot of research, and an empty rented space. But starting something brand new is not intimidating to Frances. “He [Neil] did a really good job of painting a picture about what it would look like,” she said.

Diversity

The fact that her father, Bill, is on the Board at UCA might also have been a factor in Frances’s comfort with choosing a school that hasn’t been built yet. His excitement about creating something new—in community with other professionals with a diversity of experiences—was infectious. “This is not the brainchild of a single visionary,” said Bill. “It’s a community of people who care about the same stuff. Unity has a really committed Board and Board of Governors who are all committed to this.” Bill believes that broad base of diverse input gives Unity a foundation for longevity that typical startup schools don’t have.

Stability

That foundation might be comforting for Charlotte Purnell to hear about. She and her husband John are the parents of Caleb, another eighth-grader who has chosen UCA. Caleb is excited about being part of something brand new. Charlotte would prefer the stability that comes with a school that’s been around a few years. “There’s a fear of the unknown,” she admitted. Where Caleb sees adventure, she sees risk. John, too, is part of UCA’s Board of Directors, and while he is eager to recruit new enrollees into the first UCA class, he encourages his wife to voice her concerns, even at UCA marketing events. “If she has those fears,” he said, “I know other people have them too. Once they give voice to those fears, we can answer them.” For families who are worried about the stability of a start-up, he makes this point: “The school itself is new, but the people running it are not novices. They have a lot of experience in established schools, and they’ve done the research about what works and what doesn’t. Unity Christian Academy is cutting-edge, but it’s not unproven.”

Diversity and community are intertwined in South Holland, as they are in Lansing. And diverse community is a key part of UCA’s DNA. Not only are they creating a community within the school—a place where bullying is resolved through character formation, where differences are explored rather than feared, and where students and teachers challenge each other to greater excellence—but they want the school to impact the broader community as well. Through UCA’s four-year internship program, every student will have opportunities to learn about local businesses—and Continued on page 4

Real Estate Questions & Answers CATHY & JIM HIGGINS Question: Our home is listed with a Broker. We have had quite a few showings. No offers. It amazes me how little the Real estate agents who show my home, know about my home. Isn’t it their job? How are they going to sell it if they don’t know much about it? Answer: I think you are a bit unfair. How is a Realtor supposed to know everything about your home when they have probably never seen it before? A Realtor uses the MLS report to review your home’s details prior to their viewing. A Realtor can use his/her experience to point out important details about the home to the buyers as they walk through. Many sellers put out home information flyers highlighting the many features that their home offers. This is always welcomed by prospective buyers. You can write down all the features you want, but what about the feeling buyers get when they walk through your home? Do they feel comfortable? Do they like the layout? How does the home

look? Is it updated? Is it cluttered? Does the home look run down, or does it show that it’s been well cared for? Do they experience that “Wow” factor? These very important feelings do not require a Realtor to know every detail about your home. If you want your home to sell at the price you expect, then it’s up to you to help create these positive feelings, by making your home look as appealing as possible. If you’ve had quite a few showings and no offers on your home, then it’s time to start listening to your Brokers suggestions, instead of blaming the Real estate agents.

Going Over the Edge for United Way

Your House Stinks

Continued from page 1 businesses will impact the curriculum of the school. Projectbased learning means that students will understand how math and science and art are not separate disciplines in the real world, but are skills that can work together. And a special partnership with South Suburban College not only makes advanced lab courses available to UCA students, but also gives them exposure to higher education and a wider range of people and cultures. “The city will be my son’s classroom,” said John. Bill also includes community and social justice in the list of UCA characteristics that are important to his family. “Our daughter is not going to grow up in a world where people all look like her—and that’s a good thing,” he said. “Authentic diversity is a gift. School should reflect that.” The concept of community also refers to the geographic location of a school. The Boerman-Cornells have had connections to Illiana for generations. They love Illiana, but Illiana’s move to northwest Indiana would make the daily commute difficult. So UCA’s location was a factor in their choice. “I love that it’s a Christian school in our community,” said Bill. And Amy agreed: “This is a need in this area.”

Lake Area United Way, in partnership with Centier and The TIMES Media Company will be hosting a unique event July 7 at the Centier Corporate Centre in Merrillville, IN.

The event will begin at 8am on Friday, July 7th and will run throughout the day. To secure his or her place, each participant needs to raise a minimum of $1,000 for the chance to go Over the Edge! Potential participants should go to nwiedge.com and create a fundraising page which will allow their friends, family, and colleagues to “sponsor” their rappel in a safe and secure environment. All participants will be treated like VIPs while their supporters cheer them on during their thrilling descent, and all proceeds will go to benefit the Struggling Working Families in Lake County. Join us for this exciting event for a worthy cause! Go Over the Edge to help families living on the edge this July.

Sorry if I offended you… but your house stinks. Houses smell. Yep, every single one. Oh, they don’t all smell bad…but they all carry their own fragrance. A fragrance that stinks is called the-death-of-a-sale. Interestingly, in the grand scheme of preparing a home for sale, house smells are the last thing that sellers think about. I have yet to meet a seller who smells their own stinky home. Not once has a seller said to me “I know my house smells bad.” No matter how diplomatic an agent tries to be when listing a stinky house, telling a seller their home smells bad seems to offend them more than telling them that their home is worth less money than they thought. When you live in your home you become immune to all the smells that visitor definitely notice. This is why I feel that is it part of my job to be upfront and honest with sellers about the odors that will be an obstacle to successfully marketing their home. Please Mr. and Mrs. Seller, don’t shoot the messenger! Your Realtor is just trying to help you to get your house sold and a “house a’la stinky” is going to be a problem. Some of the most deadly (yes, they could

kill the sale of your home) smells are the obvious ones. The granddaddy of stink is cigarette or cigar smoke. The next would be the pet smells, especially the cat liter boxes. And mothballs. Then there are the subtle smells that can also be a buyer turn off such as dirty sheets and laundry, moldy smelling bathrooms, dirty diapers. Then there are food smells (by the way— never cook fish or cabbage while trying to sell your home), and garbage cans (empty them every day). Overcompensating with too many air fresheners or candles can offend a sensitive nose and make your buyer wonder what you’re covering up. So…if you’re selling your home, go outside to clear your nasal passages, then step inside and take an impartial whiff or ask someone you trust to do it for you. Hey, you can even ask your Realtor!

Adventure

Both Frances Boerman-Cornell and Caleb Purnell seem to be the type of kids who are unfazed at the prospect of charting new territory. “There’s some apprehensiveness,” Frances admitted, “but I honestly am more excited at this point.” Her interests include writing, the arts, music, and athletics, as well as strong academics, and she likes the idea that she will be invited to help shape a curriculum that feeds those interests. The curriculum will almost definitely look different from what her friends experience at the high schools they’ve chosen— while they participate in choir, band, or a Music Appreciation class, she might be writing music for a jazz ensemble or reviewing concerts at South Suburban College. Rather than framing these as things she’s “missing out on,” Frances is eager explore opportunities she hasn’t even imagined yet. Caleb, too, recognizes that his love of baseball will most likely find a different expression at UCA—depending on the number of kids in the first class who also play baseball, Unity might not be able to field a team in year one. But Caleb is on a travel team too, so he’ll get his baseball fix that way, and he didn’t want athletics to be a factor in his academic choice. “School is school,” he said. And his dad, John, agreed. For their older son, Joshua, the Purnells included baseball on the checklist of things they were looking for in a high school. “But the checklist was different for Caleb than it was for Joshua,” said John. “For Caleb we wanted strong academics and unique experiences. Caleb just likes trying new and exciting things. The more he found out about Unity, the more he was like, ‘Cool.’”

Deadlines

The timeline for decision-making is different at a Christian school than at a public school, and John Purnell wants prospective families to be aware of that. Public school families might not realize that private school families are making their enrollment decisions now, before the end of the school year. Space is limited, and families who have grown up in that tradition understand that, so they sign up early. John remembers that when he transitioned his oldest son from public school to a Christian school, he almost didn’t get in because the deadline had passed. He doesn’t want public school families to make the same mistake when considering UCA. “They might think they have plenty of time,” he said, “but it may be too late if they wait until summer to make their decision. There are only 30 slots. Total. That’s not a lot.”

Cost

And for families who wish they had a different high school choice for their kids, but who think they can’t afford a private school, John wants them to know about UCA’s distinctive “means-based” funding model. “They will be surprised at how it works,” he said. Bill translates that cost into the value of seeing the effect choice can have on a child. He recalls a conversation the UCA Board had with a family whose son had experienced bullying at school and who was anxious about starting high school—entering a bigger population where he would be on the bottom of the totem pole again. As Neil Okuley described UCA’s smaller setting, and the emphasis on community, and the attention to character formation, Bill recalls watching the impact of that vision on this prospective student: “You could just see his shoulders relax and his whole posture change. When you hear about what the school is going to be, it’s a relief for students who might have fears about high school. So I encourage families who have any questions at all, come on in, take a look around, talk to us.” The next public opportunity to do that is Saturday, April 14, at an Open House from 9:00am–12:00pm. The UCA campus is at 16341 South Park Avenue in South Holland. For more information and to RSVP, visit WeAreUCA.org/openhouse.

Come help your local shelter and rescue pets find their furever homes at the sixth annual Adopt-a-Pet Event at ReStore. Both ReStores, located in Griffith and Merrillville will be hosting this special event 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on April 28. The dogs and cats available for adoption are from multiple rescues and shelters around northwest Indiana. Bella’s House and Second Chance 4 Pets Network will be attending the event at the Griffith location while pets from Treasured Friends, Lake Shore Paws, and Humane Society of Hobart can be viewed and adopted at the Merrillville location. ReStore District Manager Kim DeRisi came up with the idea for this event six years ago. She has always had a special place in her heart for animals of all kinds. “I’m an animal lover,” said DeRisi. “I have horses, cats, and a dog and although we don’t sell a lot of pet supplies, a lot of our customers have animals.” DeRisi thought hosting an event that would benefit the animals would be a way to give them a chance to be adopted. “These animals don’t have a voice. We need to help them get adopted and this event is Vintage mechanics carpenter tools, postcards, magazines, signs, radios, knives, automobilia items, records, vises. Call Lee 219923-8669

a way for us to be that voice for them,” said DeRisi. Last year, Merrillville ReStore’s former Manager, Lauren Igartua adopted her family dog, a blue heeler named Freckles. “Once I saw her good nature, I knew that if I didn’t rescue her now, I would regret this. She was a perfect fit for me. She was everything I wanted from a dog,” said Igartua. This event could be the perfect opportunity for potential adoptive families to find the perfect fit for them and for the public. “Last year’s event turned out perfectly! We had a great turn out. The public loved the event and they got to see different, unique, and cute animals,” said Igartua. In addition to the pet adoption, the adoption centers will present information on pet nutrition and care. The attendees can receive 50 percent off of one store item and can be also be entered into a raffle to win prizes such as cat and dog themed gift baskets. Both stores will be accepting pet supply donations for the event. If you would like to donate items stop by the store or call (219) 9723000.

Financial Advice Column

Here’s a Checklist for Changing Jobs BOB KRYGSHELD A few generations ago, it was not uncommon for workers to stick with a single job for their whole careers. But for many of us today, frequent job changes are a fact of life: The average employee tenure is just over four years, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. So, assuming you’re going to switch jobs a few times, you’ll want to be prepared. Here’s a checklist of things you can do to smooth these transitions and help your financial situation: Build an emergency fund. Some of your job changes may be involuntary, so you’ll want to have a cash cushion handy – just in case. One smart move would be to build an emergency fund, containing three to six months’ worth of living expenses, with the money kept in a liquid, low-risk account. Consider your options for your former employer’s retirement savings plan. You have three main options: Leave your money in the plan, if the employer allows it; move the money into your new employer’s plan, if permitted; or roll the funds over to an IRA. You’ll want to weigh the “pros” and “cons” of these choices carefully before making a decision. Choose investments from your new retirement plan. If your new employer offers a plan, you’ll need to choose the investments that are most appropriate for your goals, risk tolerance and time horizon. Contribute as much as you can afford, and consider increasing your contributions every time your salary goes up. Make sure you’ve got health insurance. The health insurance offered by your new employer may

not begin the minute you start your job. Given the high costs of medical care, you’ll need to make sure you are protected until your coverage kicks in. So, for that interim period, you may need to consider the federal health insurance marketplace, COBRA continuation coverage or private medical insurance. You might also be eligible to be covered under your spouse’s health insurance. And you may want to learn what your options are for health savings accounts (HSAs), if available. Review your new benefits package – and take steps to fill gaps. Your new benefits package may include life and disability insurance, but these group policies may not be enough to fully protect you and your family. A financial professional can help you quantify your protection and insurance needs and offer guidance on how much coverage you may require. Understand your income tax considerations. Getting a new job may involve income tax implications, such as changes in your tax bracket, severance pay, unused vacation and unemployment compensation. Finally, if you have to move to take a new job, you may incur some relocation and job hunting expenses that could be deductible. You will need to discuss all these issues with your tax professional. Starting a new job can be exciting—and challenging. But you may be able to make your life easier by putting the above suggestions to work.

Julie Bensinger, a teacher at South Ridge Elementary School in Highland, is introducing Science, Technology, Engineering and Math learning in her class by incorporating art. “I identified the need for STEAM, which is science, technology, engineering, art, and math in my classroom,” explained Bensinger. “By integrating art and design with STEM subjects I am able to strengthen my students’ abilities to be creative problem solvers.” Bensinger uses littleBits, are a platform of easy-to-use electronic building blocks that allows the users to invent unlimited creations from remote control structures to a smart home device. Kids learn to be creators with technology and not just consumers. “They (littleBits) can be reused in unlimited ways to create new imaginative inventions,” said Bensinger. Bensinger has taught art in Highland schools for 14 years, but is already observing a better learning environment with her efforts. “Using their imagination students can

create an idea, prototype it, test it, receive feedback from peers, revise it and develop a working design,” said Bensinger. “It’s amazing to watch.” Highland Education Foundation (HEF) looks for innovative teachers who go beyond the basics and want to develop a new way to teach a particular concept. “There is such an emphasis placed on STEM that art and creativity is usually left out,” explained Judi Caddick, president of HEF. “The fact that she found a way to combine art and technology really stood out in our decision-making process.” Bensinger was one of several grant recipients from the HEF’s first cycle of providing grants to enhance the learning environment since Caddick started the organization in 2015. “I love that they encourage and support my creativity,” said Bensinger. “The grants they fund provide such amazing opportunities for Highland students.”

Help with Operation Christmas Child During Volunteer Week During National Volunteer Week (April 15th-21st), residents of the south suburbs have an opportunity to join a local volunteer team making a difference in children’s lives around the world in Jesus’ Name. Each year approximately 150,000 U.S. volunteers help transform empty shoeboxes into tangible expressions of God’s love by packing them with fun toys, school supplies and hygiene items. Operation Christmas Child, a project of Samaritan’s Purse, partners with local churches worldwide to deliver these gifts to children suffering from poverty, natural disaster, war, terror, disease and famine. For many of these children, this is the first gift they have ever received. “National Volunteer Week is a great time to become a part of this international project,” said Julie Vinlasaca who heads up the local Chicago Illinois Area Team for Operation Christmas Child. “Joining an Operation Christmas Child Area Team is an amazing way T.wax spray protectant for vinyl/leather or purple car wash, $3 ea; 2 auto micro 15x15” towels, $3; 2018 pocket calendars, $1 ea. 708460-8308

to give back year-round and share God’s love with children in need.” To learn more about joining the Chicago Illinois Area Team Area Team or to apply for leadership opportunities, visit samaritanspurse.org/volunteerwithOCC. Operation Christmas Child has delivered more than 157 million gift-filled shoeboxes to children in more than 160 countries since 1993. This year, the local Chicago Illinois Area Team hopes to collect 6,201 shoebox gifts to contribute to the 2018 global goal of reaching more than 11 million children in need. Operation Christmas Child is a project of Samaritan’s Purse, an international Christian relief and evangelism organization headed by Franklin Graham. The mission of Operation Christmas Child is 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 with them the Good News of Jesus Christ.

Speaking Of Seniors

Saved Chesterton Client $1792 WOODROW WILCOX On March 23, 2018, I helped a woman who is a senior citizen client from Chesterton, Indiana. She got a bill for $1,792 from a medical service and did not know why she got the bill because she had both Medicare and a Medicare supplement policy through our agency. She took the bill to our Valparaiso office and the staff delivered the papers to me. I reviewed the bill and other papers and phoned the client’s insurance company to learn what it knew. The evidence was clear that the medical firm that provided service to our client NEVER FILED THE CLAIM WITH MEDICARE. The client’s insurance company never got any claim from Medicare for the service and the bill itself gave no evidence that Medicare ever got the bill to rule on it. I wrote a letter to the medical firm and told it that the only reason

that it had not been paid anything was because it never filed the claim with Medicare as it was supposed to do. When the claim is filed, I believe that Medicare and the Medicare supplement insurance policy that our client has will pay for the whole bill. Thus, I saved the client $1,792. All the help that I gave this client was FREE OF CHARGE. This insurance agency takes pride in giving our clients this high level of customer service. If your insurance agent or agency does not give such a high level of customer service, maybe you should switch to an insurance agency that does. Note: Woodrow Wilcox is the senior medical bill case worker at Senior Care Insurance Services in Merrillville, Indiana. He wrote the book SOLVING MEDICARE PROBLEM$ (www.SolvingMedicare Problems.com) and posts articles at www. WoodrowWilcox.com.

Craft beer, wine, and ciders, great food from local vendors, entertainment and more than 1,000 people from across Northwest Indiana made for an amazing day at County Line Orchard on Saturday, January 27, 2018! At this year’s sold out event, attendees got to sample over 100 craft beers and ciders from 48 brands and vendors across the region, and state. Guests also enjoyed entertainment by The Crawpuppies and Freekbass. This is the third year for the Big Barn Beer Fest and this year was another one for the books! Matt Saltanovitz said, “This is always such a fun event to attend. My wife and I love that everyone has the opportunity to try all of the different beers, wines, and ciders- but we also know that we are supporting causes near and dear to our hearts. I serve on the Board of Trustees for Lake Area United Way, and see all of the good work they do across Air hose 3/8” ID x 25’ PVC new $50; 40 piece socket set $7; Craftsman 6” “C” clamp, new $10. 708-891-3432 Hand crafted perpetual wooden calendar, dark stain, dried flower basket decor with extra squares for holidays and birthdays, $25. 708-877-6157 Ethan Allen old sofa $125 obo; heavy duty universal bed frame $15; cherrywood drop leaf table $75. 708-4816907

our community. So in my book, helping a great cause, meeting a lot of new people and companies in our area, and enjoying a wonderful day out- It’s a win-win!” “We cannot thank Luke Family of Brands and County Line Orchard enough for hosting this event. The funds raised at the Big Barn Beer Fest go to support families in need across Lake County. Many of these families are working hard, but do not make enough to pay for the basic necessities required to survive here. The funds raised through this event support us, Union Township Food Pantry, and the Hobart Food Pantry. This is such a fun day that engages so many of our neighbors and does so much good for the community” said Lisa Daugherty, CEO of Lake Area United Way. This year’s event raised $25,143.63 that is being invested back into the community through programs and services.

From The Publisher

Are Ducks Pets? ARLO KALLEMEYN Every Spring we have a mother duck that has sets up housekeeping in our back yard. The mother duck is very diligent and doesn’t even leave her nest when the neighbor cat comes sniffing around. Pets add a lot to our lives—here are a few rules that someone sent me the other week. Pet Rules To be posted VERY LOW on the refrigerator door—nose height. Dear Dogs and Cats, • The dishes with the paw prints are yours and contain your food. The other dishes are mine and contain my food. Please note, placing a paw print in the middle of my plate of food does not stake a claim for it becoming your food and dish, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing in the slightest. • The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack. Beating me to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn’t help because I fall faster than you can run. • I cannot buy anything bigger than a king-sized bed. I am very sorry about this. Do not think I will continue sleeping on the couch to ensure your comfort. Dogs and cats can actually curl up in a ball when they sleep. It is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other stretched out to the fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking tails straight out and having tongues hanging out the other end to maximize space is nothing but sarcasm. • For the last time, there is not a secret exit from the bathroom. If by some miracle I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not necessary to claw, whine, meow, try to turn the knob or get your paw under the edge and try to pull the door open. I must exit through the same door I entered. Also, I have been using the bathroom for years—canine or feline attendance is not mandatory. • And finally—the proper order is kiss me, then go smell the other dog or cat’s butt. I cannot stress this enough! Thanks for reading our newspaper. Arlo Kallemeyn Shopper Publisher and big fan of all kinds of pets.

On April 5 Rep. Robin Kelly visited Thornwood High School students participating in the SIFMA Foundation’s Capitol Hill Challenge™ program, supported by Charles Schwab. This national 14-week financial education competition pairs individual members of Congress and financial capability programming with public schools in every congressional district nationwide to teach middle and high school students about saving, investing, and government. Rep. Kelly met with the student teams who are investing a hypothetical $100,000 in listed stocks, bonds, and mutual funds and learning about the capital markets. The national top 10 teams will be recognized at an awards reception in Washington, D.C. on June 13. “For more than a decade, the SIFMA Foundation’s Capitol Hill Challenge™ and Stock Market Game™ have helped students from around the country become financially capable,” said Kenneth E. Bentsen, Jr., SIFMA President & CEO. “Our industry is committed to giving students the necessary tools to build a solid foundation so they can one day achieve their financial goals. I’d like to give special thanks to lawmakers like Rep. Kelly who are making personal visits to engage students on these important issues.” “Our sponsorship of the Capitol Hill Challenge™ is an extension of our commitment to advocating for more financial literacy programs and to giving people the education and tools they need to take control of their financial futures,” said Jeff Brown, Senior Vice President, Legislative

and Regulatory Affairs, Charles Schwab. “We applaud Congress for its commitment to advancing students’ understanding of personal finance.” The competition uses the SIFMA Foundation’s curriculum-based Stock Market Game™, a program that helps students develop a better understanding of fiscal policymaking, the role of the capital markets, and global economic trends. The program is proven to raise student scores on tests of mathematics, economics and financial knowledge and improve students’ and teachers’ personal financial behavior. “We thank Congress for its support of youth financial capability through participation in SIFMA Foundation’s Capitol Hill Challenge™ program,” said Melanie Mortimer, President of the SIFMA Foundation. “And we commend the personal commitment of Rep. Kelly for visiting her Capitol Hill Challenge™ students and teachers to bring their learning to life.” Since the Capitol Hill Challenge™ began in 2004, the program has made more than 4,200 matches of U.S. representatives and senators with schools, reaching more than 113,000 students. Middle and high school students from all 50 states, Guam, Puerto Rico, and Washington, DC are participating in this year’s Challenge. For more information, visit the Capitol Hill Challenge™ website at www. stockmarketgame.org/capitol-hill-challenge. html where you can also view weekly updates on this year’s participating schools starting March 2, 2018.

Say I saw it in The Shopper

April 12, 2018

Lansing Walmart Offers Free Grocery Pickup Service Yesterday’s ribbon-cutting ceremony at the Walmart Supercenter in Lansing (17625 Torrence Ave) was a celebration of the new service the store now offers—Online Grocery Pickup. Shoppers can now visit www.walmart. com/grocery, select their items, and choose the time they want to pick up their order. A trained personal shopper will put the order together and run it out to the car at the appointed time. Walmart employees went through special training to become personal shoppers. The training emphasizes not only speed and accuracy, but also attention to detail. With regard to expiration dates, for example, a shopper will search for the latest expiration date available. And when an order contains an item that is out of stock, the shoppers are trained to substitute with something better—a brand name instead of the generic, or a larger size at the same price. Butler was wearing tennis shoes at the ribbon-cutting ceremony to send the message that she will be running all over the store to fill online orders.

Darnella Singleton is the Lansing Walmart’s E-Commerce Manager. She explained that customers can shop online or use the Walmart Grocery app to place their online orders. Either forum allows shoppers to choose the items, reserve a date and time for pickup, and pay online. “We pick the order for you and let you know when it’s ready,” Singleton explained. “And then you pull up at the side of the building where we have the pickup signs. Check in using your mobile device, or call the number, and your personal shopper brings the order out to you. You never even have to get out of the car. And the service is free. We’re the first retailer offering the personal shopping service for free.” Marketing Commerce Manager Jeremy Esparza noted that Lansing’s Walmart is an ideal location for online shopping because of the easy expressway access. People who work in Chicago and live in northwest Indiana can place a grocery order before leaving the office, swing through Lansing to pick it up, and hop right back on the highway to head home.

Fair Haven Now Male Inclusive

Fair Haven, known as “the center for women” upon its inception, will now welcome male victims with open arms. “Everyone, regardless of gender, deserves to get the help they need,” said Kelly Vates, executive director and founder of Fair Haven. To be clear, Fair Haven has never disregarded men. When the center started, the only victims who sought help were women. “When we opened, we had a very limited staff and weren’t able to address certain areas of counseling in regards to male victims,” said Vates. Over the years, as Fair Haven’s staff grew, their newer employees have been trained to specifically provide help to men. Vates also attributes the change of today’s social climate to their need to be more

inclusive. In 2003, victims of all genders rarely came forward for fear of being publicly attacked and victim-blamed. Today, with the momentum of the Me Too and Time’s Up movements, victims are being urged to come forward more than ever. Although Fair Haven has not to date had to welcome any male victims, they remain a safe port for anyone seeking help. “I see this as a progressive step forward” said Vates. If you are a victim of sexual assault or would like more information on getting victims the help they deserve call 219-961-4357 or visit asafeport.org. Fair Haven is northwest Indiana’s leading rape crisis center focused on providing services to those affected by sexual violence and trauma.

Purdue Northwest Students Win BEA Scriptwriting Awards

Miranda Redenbaugh and Jessica Cannell create a storyboard of their script. ______________________________________

Purdue Northwest students won three major scriptwriting awards given by the prestigious Broadcast Education Association. “Our students consistently win BEA awards,” said Mary Beth O’Connor, the scriptwriting professor at PNW. “I am exceedingly proud of my students for pursuing their goals and dreams.” Five students are travelling to Las Vegas in April to receive their awards, meet with industry professionals and collect feedback to improve their work and further their careers. O’Connor explained that many of her students are getting the chance to creatively express themselves for the first time and they are experiencing success. “They are competing against students from other universities that offer script writing majors and they are winning,” said O’Connor. Many students said that they learned new things about themselves while writing their scripts that have changed their perspectives forever. “A major theme I used was tenacity,” said Aaron Michael Davis, a student who won second place for his original pilot. “The lead character would say yes to anything in order to ‘make it’ and be successful.” This writing led Davis to personal realizations found through his character.

“The idea of tenacity proved to be important in my own experience of scriptwriting,” said Davis. “I was writing about my past tenacity, but it proved to be a current theme as well.” This was also a way for Davis to process his unique experiences while working at a bridal gown store to pay for school. “My script is about being ok with being out of place—a fish out of water,” said Davis. “These inconveniences, frustrations, and people were not just problems, they were inspirations.” A group of students won first place for a spec script of the hit HBO series “Westworld.” Miranda Redenbaugh, Jessica Cannell and Tyler Malec also had experiences of selfdiscovery while writing their scripts. “I was going through a breakup at the time that influenced my writing,” said Redenbaugh. “I was so attached and dependent on that relationship.” The group of three students wrote about themes of identity and leaving the past behind while moving forward. “Writing and finding your themes is a subconscious experience,” said Redenbaugh who mentioned this is the first script she ever wrote. “Any sort of conflict you’re going through, whether it is personal or in a group, will show in your script.”

Post Office Advice for National Dog Bite Prevention Week The Post Office has an important message about dog bites. Letter carriers walk the streets everyday delivering America’s mail, and during National Dog Bite Prevention Week, April 8-14, they want to deliver a special message to the community about working together to avoid the cost and pain of dog bites. Last year, 6,244 postal employees were victimized by dogs. But that number pales in comparison to the more than 2 million children who received dog bite injuries in a single year. “That’s why we’re delivering this important message to the community,” said Central Illinois District Tangela Bush. “Several of our letter carriers know first-hand about both the prevention and the pain of animal attacks, and we want to do whatever we can to help educate the community — especially parents and pet owners.” More than 4.5 million people are bitten annually by dogs. In the Central Illinois District Manager, there have been more than 48 dog incidents within the last year. The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) report that small children, the elderly, and letter carriers, in that order, are the most frequent victims of dog bites. Children are the majority of victims and are 900 times more likely to be bitten than letter carriers. “Dog attacks are the most commonly reported childhood public health problem in the United States,” adds Bush. “Dog bite victims account for up to 5 percent of emergency room visits.” The following tips will help people avoid being bitten by a dog and offer advice on how to be a responsible dog owner. How to Avoid Being Bitten

• Don’t run past a dog. The dog’s natural instinct is to chase and catch you. If a dog threatens you, don’t scream. Avoid eye contact. Try to remain motionless until the dog leaves, and then back away slowly until the dog is out of sight. • Don’t approach a strange dog, especially one that’s tethered or confined. • While letter carriers are discouraged from petting animals, people who choose to pet dogs should always let a dog see and sniff them before petting the animal. • If you believe a dog is about to attack you, try to place something between yourself and the dog, such as a backpack or a bicycle. How to Be a Responsible Dog Owner • Obedience training can teach dogs proper behavior and help owners control their dog in any situation. • When the letter carrier comes to your home, keep your dog inside, away from the door, in another room, or on a leash. • Dogs can be protective of their territory and may interpret the actions of letter carriers as a threat. • Please take precautions when accepting mail in the presence of your pet. • Spay or neuter your dog. Neutered dogs are less likely to bite. Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) statistics reflect that dogs that have not been spayed or neutered are up to three times more likely to be involved in a biting incident than neutered or spayed dogs. • Dogs that haven’t been properly socialized, receive little attention or handling, or are left tied up for long periods of time frequently turn into biters. The Postal Service receives no tax dollars for operating expenses and relies on the sale of postage, products and services to fund its operations.

Heart Smart RICHARD ZEKVELD The odds are 1 in 100,000,000,000,000,0 00,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,0 00,000 of finding life on any planet in our universe. There aren’t nearly that many planets in the known universe. In other words, we shouldn’t exist. Science reveals that 150 conditions need to be just right for a planet to support life. Let’s consider a few. First, if Earth were any larger, its gravity would pull methane and ammonia gas to earth, suffocating us all. If Earth were any smaller, water would disappear into the atmosphere, due to diminished gravity. Second, if Earth spun any faster, violent winds would destroy life. If Earth spun any slower, dramatic temperature swings between day and night would devastate us. Finally, to survive, a planet that supports life needs a big brother living next door. There are a lot of big rocks flying around in space, many of which could smash our fragile planet to bits. Thankfully, Jupiter, with its intense gravity, sucks most of those rocks into itself.

I’ve only named three of 150 precise conditions necessary to sustain life.1 How could this be the result of random processes? It is easier to believe that a Boeing Dreamliner not only assembled itself but also flew a precise course from Chicago to Bangkok without human involvement. Clearly, Someone designed Earth to sustain life. If he can do that, he can certainly create a path through the sea, silence storms, orchestrate a Virgin Birth, and raise his Son from the dead. Faith, above all, is personal trust in God and what he says in the Bible. But that doesn’t make such faith irrational. Such faith makes sense. It is supported by solid evidence.

National Volunteer Week is April 15-21. From maintaining trails to helping in a nature center, you can celebrate volunteerism by donating your time and talent to state parks in Illinois and Indiana. “Volunteering gives you a great sense of accomplishment,” said Jody Heaston, volunteer coordinator for the Indiana DNR Division of State Parks. “You know you are helping manage and conserve our natural and cultural resources for future generations

to enjoy.” Heaston said she hopes many volunteers from National Volunteer week will “catch the giving-back spirit” and continue to volunteer with state parks. Information about how to be a state park volunteer is available for Illinois at dnr. illinois.gov/outreach/Volunteer and for Indiana at stateparks.IN.gov/2443.htm. For a complete list of programs from April 15-21, visit calendar.dnr.IN.gov for Indiana or dnr.illinois.gov/calendar for Illinois.

Legionaires to Volunteer at the Indy 500 to Help Veterans The Indianapolis Motor Speedway is partnering with the American Legion to supply guest service support during the 102nd running of the Indianapolis 500 on Sunday, May 27, 2018. The Legion will be compensated based on the number of volunteers who participate, performing roles like scanning tickets at the gate, ushering, or serving fans in the stands. Each volunteer will earn $100 for the Legion; $50 will be given to the volunteer’s Post, Unit, Squadron or Chapter, and $50 will be given to the Department Commander’s Project, iVETS. In addition, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway is providing each volunteer

with $10 in Track Bucks for lunch. The Indianapolis Motor Speedway partners with 501c3 organizations in exchange for guest support services at major events, providing compensation based on group size and length of work. Volunteers must be 18 (16 or 17 with a notarized waiver), and are expected to bring a lunch for most events. Event training materials are sent in advance. Onsite, volunteers receive a t-shirt and wristband. Groups wishing to participate in the volunteer program can contact Hannah at guestexperience@brickyard.com. If your Legion Post hasn’t yet signed up for the Indy 500, the deadline is April 15!

Businesses: File Those Annual WH-3 Forms to Avoid Penalty The Indiana Department of Revenue (DOR) is instituting a one-time grace period for all businesses required to file an Annual Withholding Reconciliation (WH-3) form for withholding tax. All employers were statutorily required to file the WH-3 form by January 31, 2018 for the 2017 tax year. However, the one-time grace period extends the deadline to April 30, 2018, to encourage all businesses to be in compliance. Every business identified by DOR’s records who has not submitted a WH-3 this year, will receive a letter with instructions on how to file a WH-3. All W-2 forms must accompany the annual WH-3 form. Businesses are encouraged to file electronically through Indiana’s INtax system at www.intax.in.gov. Any business who files

more than 25 W-2, W-2G or 1099-R statements must file them electronically. “Accurate monthly WH-1 and annual WH-3 filings are critical to processing and reconciling withholding taxes for employees, employers and government entities” said DOR Commissioner Adam Krupp. Businesses who don’t file before the grace period deadline of April 30, 2018 are subject to statutorily allowed penalties up to $25,000. More information on filing WH-3 forms can be found on DOR’s website at www.in.gov/ dor/4455.htm or in Departmental Notice #5 at www.in.gov/dor/reference/files/dn05. pdf. For additional questions or concerns about a business withholding account, customers may contact DOR’s Customer Service Department at 317-233-4016 Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m., EST.

Identity Theft Can Compromise Your Tax Return The Indiana Department of Revenue (DOR) continues to partner with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to share the top tax filing season concerns referred to as the “IRS Dirty Dozen” tax scams for 2018. The third scam in the 12-part series is identity theft. Taxrelated identity theft occurs when a fraudulent tax return is filed claiming a refund in the victim’s name, which often starts with a stolen Social Security number or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN). DOR’s Identity Theft and Fraud Prevention Program along with IRS’s Security Summit has worked diligently to reduce the amount of tax fraud in recent years. According to the IRS, the number of identity theft victims has fallen nearly 65 percent

between 2015 and 2017. “While identity theft is decreasing, criminals are coming up with innovative ways to steal personal information to impersonate taxpayers,” said DOR Commissioner Adam Krupp. “It is vital for taxpayers and tax professionals to remain vigilant to the ever-evolving scams used in identity theft.” Businesses should also be aware that criminals are using their information to file fraudulent forms. It is important to keep all information safeguarded. IRS and DOR have a few tips for taxpayers to keep sensitive data safe: • Always use security software with both firewall and antivirus protections and make sure it is updated regularly.

• Encrypt files that contain sensitive information. • Use strong passwords. • Do not provide personal information over the phone or via email. • Do not click on links or attachments from unknown email sources or emails that seem suspicious. • Protect your personal data by not carrying your Social Security card and making sure your tax records are secure. More information about stopping ID theft can be found on DOR’s website at https://www.in.gov/dor/4794.htm.

AUNT SALLY’S IN CALUMET CITY TO CLOSE APRIL 30, 2018. Third generation owner, Denny Sidkey, is pictured here with diners Harold and Mary Wright of Chicago at his iconic 70-year old eatery in Calumet City on April 3, 2018. Denny and wife Pam had told the waitstaff only the day before of his decision to close the restaurant. The building had been used as a grocery store by Denny’s grandfather, and then Aunt Sally’s was born under Denny’s parents, Denny Sr. and Char, who retired some years ago. “It is time,” Denny Jr. said. “I was going to close 6 years ago, but decided to keep going for a while. But now with the taxes and everything, I have to move on.” They may decide to relocate to Northwest Indiana (who isn’t?) but that is not carved in stone. The announced closi ng generated much med ia a nd customer attention last week. There are many families and groups which meet regularly at the beloved restaurant and they are wondering where to go next. As for this Reporter/Broker/Fan, I will miss them dearly. ***
