The waiters had white shirts, black jackets and pants. It was a memory of Colonial Times. The Wolffgang Choir from Hobart High School sang classic songs from the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s. These eight young ladies were excellent. After the entertainment - all of us were served a delicious pot roast supper. All of us enjoyed the delicious food, fun and fellowship.

Children Spring Into Learning As They Prepare For Kindergarten In The Fall On April 9, 2014, Early Learning Partnership of Northwest Indiana (ELP) will begin its Ready to Soar School Readiness Academy programming by screening children utilizing the Get Ready to Read and Developmenta l I nd ic ators for t he A ssessment of Learning. These screening tools assess children’s emergent literacy, language, cognitive, and motor skills, as well as identif y any potentia l delays in development. The purpose of Ready to Soar is to promote school readiness for parents and their preschoolers entering kindergarten in the fall. ELP is a not-for-profit organization that promotes early childhood parent education and support to families w it h ch i ld ren f rom preg na nc y to k i nder g a r t en a ge t h r ou g hout Northwest Indiana. Ready to Soar helps parents identify t hei r ch i ld ren’s st reng t hs as wel l as potential barriers to learning and encourages them to become involved in their child’s education from the very start. “Of the 23 incoming Hammond students that ELP screened in our pilot year, about 65% presented with a potential delay,” said Kimberly Smith,

for kindergarten set by the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE). The workshops and individualized sessions will be offered at select elementary schools or a home visit if preferred, in partnership w ith School Cit y of Hammond and Griffith Public Schools. “ We a re e xc ite d to of fer t h i s program to an expanded number of children this year,” said Smith. “Our goal is to have all our kids enter the kindergarten classroom Ready to Soar,” she added. Ready to Soar is funded in part by Success by Six, Myerberg Family Fou ndat ion, L a ke Cou nt y Ret i red Teachers and City of Hammond. ABOUT ELP The Early Learning Partnership (ELP), originally established as Parents as Teachers of Lake County, Inc., provides primary prevention services that aid in school readiness and optimal early lea r n i ng de velopment, i mprove d family health and well-being, increased parenting knowledge and involvement, ELP serves more than 500 families in Lake County.

William Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet is easily the most widely performed play in the world! So as the creative team at the Towle Theater in Hammond prepared to do an adaptation, they approached this classic piece of theatre from a perspective close to their own work. Towle Youth Theater Ensemble pulls talented young people from all over the Chicagoland and NW Indiana area. Therefore, this adaptation matches the production process rather than presenting the entire piece. The belief is that the audience is familiar enough with the story to be able to understand and follow an abbreviated, artistically creative version of the show. This particular telling of the stor y w ill follow the ensemble as they audition, rehearse and perform Romeo & Juliet with parts of the story laced throughout. Only 2 scenes will be exactly as they are in the original text; the romantic balcony scene and Act V which is the discovery and death ending of the show. The dynamic cast, ranging in age from 12-18, includes Drew Adams as Romeo (Munster), Elise Bereolos as the Nurse (St. John), Aaron Capello as Paris (St. John), Lauren Florek as Lady Capulet (Munster), Julia Fugger as Lady Montague (Lansing, IL), Diego Garcia as Capulet (Hammond), Connor Khoury as the Prince (Chicago, IL), Claire LeMonnier as Juliet (Munster), Harry Ogrentz as Mercutio (Chicago, IL), Thomas

Your mother’s church is not a place of idolatry; it’s a place of worship. You’re active in several areas of ministry, surely God isn’t telling you to pack up and leave.” On Su nday a f ter noon fol low i ng ser v ice, one of t he chu rch mot hers approached me. She said, “Baby, God’s got a great work for you to do but you’ve got to leave this place and go where you can be trained.” Where would I go? Is God really telling me to leave? How will I know when I’m at the place where He wants me to be? A f ter severa l weeks of pondering and prayer I packed up and began my journey of faith. Since Abraham went south, I traveled south listening, looking

and trusting God to lead me to the place He wanted me to go. In the process of my travels I’ve learned to discern God’s direction, experience His heart for people, to see and love others as He does, and be a part of His plan in meeting needs and leading many to faith in Him. I have also felt God’s heart for me through personal crisis----breast cancer, family conflicts, long term unemployment, failures, sin, and the need for His forgiveness. It is in my current journey that I come to realize the place God is leading me to. It is the same place He led Abraham to; a place of relationship with Him. Jesus has made it possible (through His death for our sins, and His resurrection) for each of us to experience a personal relationship with God. What must one do to experience this connection with the Almighty? A-admit your need for a Savior; B-believe that Jesus is the Savior, and C-commit yourself to God asking Him to be the leader of your life. Also, join a Bible Study; it will help you discern His voice and His ways. For questions and/or comments, send an email to acaison@sbcglobal.net . Or you can write me at: Anna Caison, P.O.

Treasured Letters From The Past MARJORIE ALICE DEVRIES O n e s u m m e r, w a y back when I was a kid, I remember watching some ants move around on the sidewalk. They were so busy and cute. Until my cousin walked over and stomped on t hem. My ha r m less f r iends were crumbs on the ground. The men aboard the SS Peter Silvester Liberty Ship had the job of caring for 317 mules, and they beca me li ke f riends to them. So when the mules landed in the water after the ship was hit, I can’t i mag i ne how ha rd it must’ve been for t hese servicemen to watch their mule friends fight to stay alive in the water. This week we continue with the story of the SS Peter Si lvester L iber t y Ship under attack, retold through a riveting W WII letter of Sgt. Lewis Haan: Right at the very part of where we were sitting in our raft, she cracked in half. One half of her crippled badly and sank, and we were scared stiff that it was going to suck us under, but it didn’t, and the rest of the ship stayed up. It was held up by water tight compartments. T he y also f ired t wo more torpedoes at the rest of the ship but missed.

was in the water, including the mules. T he y were trying to climb on our rafts and we had to kill them by hitting them over the head and stabbing them with knives. As much as we felt sorry for the poor animals, we had to do it to save our own lives. We were t r ying desperately to get (the rafts) away from the rest of the sinking ship before it went down and sucked us under. We were a pret t y safe distance away when all of the sudden, to top it all off, we see a bunch of foam on the water, and up comes the submarine! We were really scared. It came up only about 100 yards from where we were in the raft, and we thought they were going to machine gun us or take us as prisoners or ram us. We had a blanket and we crawled under… To be continued next week.

Mortgage Matters

www.myshopper.biz/columnists/

Get Ready for the Tax Deductions! DONNA HOLMER The IRS is nice to homeowners, no kidding. Here are the some of the ta x breaks available: • Purchase Costs Deduction. In most cases, a ny loa n discount points a nd origination fees are tax deductible for the buyer, no matter who pays for them. Any “daily interest” paid on the mortgage at closing is also deductible. Keep your HUD settlement statement, which contains all this information, to use in preparing your return. • Mortgage Interest Deduction. Each year the interest paid on your mortgage is tax deductible up to $1million in mortgage debt on a first or second home, if you’re married filing jointly. • Property Tax Deduction. All real estate taxes are fully deductible. • Home Office Expense Deduction. If your business requires you to use a portion of your home exclusively for those purposes, you may be able to deduct the percentage of your home costs related to that portion. Go to www.irs.gov and consult with a tax professional on this one. • Home Equity Loan Interest Deduction. The interest you pay on a home equity loan or line of credit may be deductible, up to certain limits specified by the IRS. • Home Improvement Loan Interest Deduction. If you take out a loan for a big home improvement, you can deduct the interest with no dollar limit. But the

work must be a “capital improvement,” not just ordinar y repairs. Check with www.irs.gov and a tax professional for the improvements that qualify. • Capita l Ga ins E xclusion. Ma r r ied taxpayers who file jointly can keep, tax free, up to $500,000 in profit on the sale of a home used as a principal residence two out of the prior five years. Single and married filing separately can keep up to $250,000 each tax free. • Mortgage Insurance Deduction. The premiums you pay for mortgage insurance may be deductible up to certain income limit specified by the IRS. • Selling Costs Deduction. If you do wind up with a capital gain above the exclusion (lucky you!), you can reduce it by the amount of your selling costs, including broker’s commissions, title insurance, and legal fees, among others. You can also deduct decorating and repairs you do to make the home more saleable. All tax matters should of course be reviewed with a tax professional.

birthed out of his passion for soccer and his enrollment in an entrepreneurship class at the high school, taught by Mr. Daniel Gray. He and a fellow student (who is now in college) started their business, T&J Soccer, in 2013. They invented a unique soccer sock that will keep shin guards in place and thus reduce soccer injuries. They are seeking a patent and a manufacturer to mass produce their soccer sock. At the encouragement of Mr. Gray they entered their business model and plan in the 2013 NFTE National Youth Ent repreneu rsh ip Compet it ion, where they competed with the best and brightest young high school entrepreneurs across the nation. They earned their way to the finals in New York City. The national judges were so impressed with T&J Soccer that they were awarded first place in the competition, which included a grand prize of $25,000. Along with their recognition, they visited the White House and met with President Obama.

Women’s Conference Provides Empowerment

Blevian Moore, executive director of the South Holland Business Association; Elizabeth Colon, owner of Metaphrasis Language & Cultural Solutions; Anne Aboushousha, owner of Sweet Annie’s Bakery and Stephanie King-Myers, owner of Bottle & Bottega presented the Turning Passions Into Profit at the Chicago Women’s Conference & Expo. _____________________________________________________________________

Wo m e n f r o m a l l b a c k g r o u n d s c a m e t o g e t h e r at the Chicago Women’s Conference & Expo for a day of empowerment. The annual conference was hosted by South Suburban College’s Business and Career Institute. Key note speaker fitness and lifest yle expert Saran Dunmore discussed the importance of keeping your body healthy so that you can focus on accomplishing your goals. Dunmore helps her clients shape their mind and body through motivation and exercise. She offered five tips to help women achieve this. The first is to give yourself a break and stop beating yourself up because it takes you further away from knowing who you are. “Remember trying is doing something with the intention to fail,” she said. It is also important to move toward something you are passionate about. “People fantasize about their dreams. It’s time to turn those dreams into actuality,” she said. Dunmore said people say they are too lazy or too scared to exercise. What you should be scared of is disease that can be linked to a lack of exercise. She suggested taking baby steps and start by doing something daily. When looking at exercise do something that you love to do so that you will stay with it. Her final tip was to remember that “any action drives motivation. If you move toward something you will be fueled to do more.” In keeping with Dunmore’s message of pursuing your passion a group of women who did just that and run successful businesses offered tips for getting started during the Turning Passions Into Profit panel. Anne Aboushousha who runs Sweet Annie’s Bakery in Flossmoor suggested finding a niche to fill and being fearless in your pursuit. Elizabeth Colon owner of Metaphrasis Language and

Cultural Solutions professional interpretation ser v ice advised taking advantage of SCORE, a volunteer-based organization consisting of retired executives who offer assistance to new businesses. Local chambers of commerce and the Women’s Business Economic Development Center are also good resources. Stephanie King-Myers who operates Bottle & Bottega, a wine and art entertainment studio offering a fun, unique alternative for a night out said that you must believe in your business concept, use your strengths, do your research and pursue what you love. Using resources like Go Daddy to develop a website and Vista Print for inexpensive business cards and the Internet to find inexpensive items that you can use for your business were other suggestions offered by the panel. The group also supported the use of vision boards and setting timelines. They believe that the most important assets you can bring to your business are integrity, tenacity and really caring about your customers. The day ended w ith a health panel discussing the importance of staying fit. Dr. Kara Davis, from Metro South Medical Center advised looking for opportunities to move throughout the day like taking the stairs instead of the elevator. Be mindful when developing an exercise routine. She also emphasized the importance of physical activity to reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and the eventual loss of independence.

spent the last 11 months on a journey of health and fitness. Glumac said becoming fit is not just about exercise and diet but also changing your whole thought process about embracing a healthy lifestyle. “What you say to yourself makes all the difference.” Kimberly Kramer, registered dietitian at Ingalls Hospital said one of the ways to start a fitness regimen even during the winter months is to utilize the exercise programs that are available via the fitness channel on the On Demand section of your cable service because they offer a wide array of programs for all fitness levels. To promote family fitness for people who might be at different levels of endurance set up an exercise circuit in your home. Bike riding and Wii fitness programs are other options as well as dance. To motivate yourself Glumac suggested writing down what you want to accomplish, expressing gratitude for what you become able to accomplish and surrounding yourself with people who support you. The panelists agreed that maintaining a healthy diet is crucial to maintaining fitness. It is 70 percent of what you eat and 30 percent of what you do in the gym that will enable you to stay fit and healthy. Those in attendance found the conference to be very inspiring. Conchette James from Country Club Hills has attended for many years. She said the conference encouraged her to start her own mentoring group for girls in 6th through 12th grade. “The networking opportunities are wonderful. Maybe next year I will be a speaker,” she said. First time attendee Lynette Simon of Riverdale heard about the conference from a friend. She found the workshops to be very interesting and said the keynote speaker was very motivational.

Over the summer mont hs, Shy work s for a lu x u r y cr u ise sh ip t h a t s a i l s t h r ou g hout the Pacific Ocean.

A strange, drunk businessman came up to him and started say ing a va r iet y of bi za r re statements that did not seem to make any sense. Shy pushed him out of his mind when two ladies approached h im for some water and the man stumbled away. Suddenly Shy sees the man climbing

BRANDI SMITS over the rails of the ship. Before he could jump, Shy grabs the man’s arm, but could not hold him and the man fell to his death. Already thinking about Romero d i sea se and the suicidal businessman, one would t h i n k t h at Shy w ou ld have enoug h to wor r y about. However, when a gigantic earthquake hits the entire west coast of North America, now the only thing on Shy’s mind is t he unprecedented ly large tsunami that is about to hit their ship. Can he find his friends before the ship sinks? What happens when the waters settle and the lifeboats are f loating in the middle of the ocean with no land to be seen? Is there anyone left to rescue them? De la Peña has done an amazing job of combing s e v er a l e lement s i nt o one action-packed story. Each plot poi nt may seem detached from one a n ot h e r, b u t i n s t e a d , through de la Peña’s artful storytelling, everything is weaved together almost effortlessly.

ICCTA Presents Award to South Suburban College’s Chairman Last Thursday, Mike Monaghan, Executive Director of the Illinois Community College Trustees Association (ICCTA), attended the South Suburban College (SSC) Board of Trustees Meeting to acknowledge this distinction for service with a “very rare award,” according to Monaghan. Monaghan presented an ICCTA Service Award to SSC Board Chairman Frank Zuccarelli. Monaghan addressed the Board of Trustees and gathered audience during the open meeting: “The ICCTA would like to recognize Frank Zuccarelli not only for his 35 years of service, but also for his many years of accomplishments and contributions to the statewide community college system.” “Frank saw South Suburban College and the Illinois community college system grow from temporary buildings into the 3rd largest community college system in the United States,” said Monaghan. “He is only the fifth person out of more than 2,200 current and former trustees to reach this level of success in the entire state of Illinois–anyone who accomplishes that is doing things the right way.” Zuccarelli enrolled at SSC–then Thornton Community College–in 1974 after he completed his enlistment in the United States Air Force where he served as a medic. Zuccarelli earned his Associate of Science Degree in 1976 and

to the unpaid post on the Board of Trustees in 1978, and was chosen by his peers to be the chairman of the board in 1987. He has served in this capacity for the college ever since. “I would like to thank the ICCTA for this special honor and especially Mike Monaghan for taking the time to come to South Holland to present this award to me tonight,” said Zuccarelli upon receiving the award. “Mike also has a long career of dedicated service to the community college system.” Zuccarelli added, “We truly have accomplished a lot to be proud of over the years here at SSC. But not for the efforts of one person alone–I would like to thank my Board of Trustees, the administration, staff and faculty, and our President Don Manning for their hard work and dedication to South Suburban College. I would also like to thank the former presidents and board members I had the privilege of serving with along the way.” Established in 1927, South Suburban College is a fully accredited, comprehensive community college with a diverse annual student population of more than 16,000. Located in South Holland, Illinois, SSC offers over 100 educational and career pathways through associate degree, certificate and transfer programs.

Financial “Spring Cleaning” Can Brighten Your Investment Picture

BOB KRYGSHELD The days are getting longer and warmer — a su re i nd icat ion of t he arrival of spring. Another sign of the season may be the urge you get to do some spr i ng clea n i ng. But you might not have realized that some of the s a me s pr i n g- c le a n i n g tech n iques t hat ca n be used on your home can a lso apply to your i nvest ment s a nd you r overall financial strategy. Here are a few ideas to consider: • Get rid of “clutter.” As you do your spring cleaning, you may well find some clutter — a bunch of items you no longer need. As an investor, you might look at your portfolio and also find “clutter” in the form of investments that are no longer appropriate for your objectives. For example, perhaps some of t hem are virtual duplicates of ot her i nvest ments you own, thereby diminishing your potentia l for diversification. Or maybe some investments are now too risky for your needs. In any case, you may be better off rebalancing your portfolio. • Get orga n i zed. A s you clea n you r home, you might find ways to organize your belongings a nd f u r n it u re more efficiently. And you may also be able to organize your investments more effectively. One possibility: Consider consolidating your investment accounts w it h one pr ov ider. I f you have a n IR A here, a not her one t here a nd some other investments scat tered about, you may be paying more in fees a nd com m issions t ha n i s nec essa r y. By consolidat ing t hese investments, you might save money a nd paperwork — and more i mpor t a nt l y, you may f ind it easier, w it h a l l your investments under one “roof,” to fol low a single, unified investment strategy. • Seal “cracks.” Over time, the grout between your

kitchen or bathroom tiles can crack, so you’ll need to re-g rout to protec t your f looring. A nd you may find that, in looking at your overall financial strategy, your “protection” component — primarily in the form of insurance — might have developed some “cracks” or “chips.” Specifically, has your life insurance kept up with changes in your family sit uat ion? Events such as marriage, remarriage or the arrival of a new child can all trigger the need to review your life insurance. And you’ll also want to make sure you have adequate disability insurance. Consult with a financial professional for informat ion on appropr iate protect ion vehicles. • Do s ome “du st i ng.” As pa r t of your spring cleaning, you may need to dust furniture, shelves a nd ot her su r faces i n your home. And if you’ve been investing for a long time, you may need to metaphorically “dust off” your financial strategy to “freshen it up” to ref lect changes in your life. To cite one possibility, as you get close to retirement, you may need to shif t some — but cer t a i n ly not all — of your growthoriented investments into income-producing ones. But you may also need to rev iew and rev ise your financial strategy at other points in your life, such as when you begin saving for your children’s college education. Just as spring cleaning can bring more light into your home, sprucing up your investment picture can help you brighten your f ina ncia l out look. A nd these improvements can help you in all the seasons of your life.

Sout h Hol la nd is home to South Suburban College, located on State Street just nort h of Rt. 6.

Speaking Of Seniors

www.myshopper.biz/columnists/

Helped Saint John Man WOODROW WILCOX On March 18, 2014, I was v isited by a senior cit i zen client f rom Saint John, Indiana. He wanted to know why his Me d i c a r e s u pp l e m e nt insurance policy didn’t pay the balance owed for a hospital visit. I reviewed the medical bill and phoned t he c l ie nt ’s Me d ic a r e supplement i n su r a nc e company to learn what it k new of t he bi l l. It reported that it got only claims for $228 and $221 from Medicare for t hat ho s pit a l on t h at d ate of ser vice. It never got anything else. The total original bill was $2,383. Obviously, Medicare failed to send complete a nd accurate information to the insurance company. That is not the fault of the patient, the hospital, or the insurance company. It is Medicare’s fault. To help ou r cl ient, I w rote a let ter to t he hospita l a nd ex pla ined what I had lea r ned. I asked the hospital to fix the problem that Medicare caused by sending certain cr it ica l infor mat ion about the claim directly to the client’s insurance

company. That should solve our client’s problem. All the help that I gave to this client was free of charge. The managers, agents, and staff of this insurance agency really c a re about ou r sen ior citizen clients. We make an extra effort to protect our clients from financial ha r m when someone in the Medicare system ma ke s a m i st a ke t hat c ou ld c o s t ou r c l ient m o n e y. Does your insurance agency give this high level of service to its senior citizen clients? If not, why not? Note : Woodrow Wi lcox is the senior medical bill c a se worker at Sen ior Care Insurance Services in Merrillville, Indiana. Wilcox has saved clients of that insurance agency over one million dollars by cor rec t i ng med ic a l bi l l er rors t hat were caused by m ista kes i n the Medicare system.

Question: Ever y year my school ta x increases. This year it went from $174 to $297. Due to a shortage on the escrow account, my mortgage increased by $421. I am on a fixed income and this really hurts the pocket book. Since I am 65, live alone, don’t have any school-aged children and have never had any children that have attended the local school system, why do I have to pay so much? I don’t mind paying the tax; however, I think it should be at a lower rate due to not having any children who have attended this school district. Is there any remedy to this situation?

town has a dog park. If you have cats, fish or birds your tax dollars still support a canine facility. In your situation you may not use the school system, but there may be other community services and facilities that you do use and others don’t. In the end, everyone gets something from the system. A s to you r mor tgage, t he school tax went from $174 to $297 -- that’s an annual increase of $123. Meanwhile, your mortgage cost grew to $421. Add $297 plus $123 and you get $420, an increase of $10.25 per month. What the lender is doing seems well within the bounds of reason.

The Teachers’ Forum JUDITH PADGETT We all want to be recognized for work well done. We want our efforts to be appreciated. We want to be understood, and for others to be on the same page. We spend the bulk of our life in a work place setting, as we invest our time and energy into earning our daily bread. I imagine for most the pay check is a significant factor, yet for most, it cannot adequately compensate for the effort and energy that is involved in a work week. There are other dynamics involved, namely the desire to be affirmed, although some may pride themselves on making minimal out put an art form. I believe that most really want to feel that they are doing a good job for their employers and that they are earning their pay check. U lt i m atel y, t he t y pe of w ork i s secondar y, the underly ing attitude is what determines success. Yet, how can we define success? I believe it involves an enjoyable work day, with co-workers that are for the most part pleasant! Our work definition should to some degree, utilize our natural abilities, whether we are “good with people” or have organizational skills or leadership ability. In addition, we should be working for something beyond ourselves. We need to live beyond meeting our basic needs. We might be caring for our families, helping in some way the underprivileged, c ont r i but i n g t o ou r c om mu n it ie s , suppor t i ng a n orga n i zat ion t hat we believe in, these are just to name a few…

Yet, let’s be honest, where do we go when we do not feel appreciated? When we feel undermined, demoralized or targeted by someone who appears determined to paint us in a negative light? Where do we go when we feel that there is someone working against us? There are no easy, pat answers, as I consider t he last column in which I encouraged parents to work with their children’s teachers, I k new from t he outset, that for some, this will not happen. Yes, the ideal would be for the parents to affirm….. Yet, the ultimate answer lies elsewhere, ultimately, we have to believe in what we are doing and why. Teachers have to know that they are making a difference whether parents “get it” or not, I heard someone recently say that, ‘if we live off the praises of people, we will also die by their criticism. ‘ Teachers in the primary grades are laying the foundation that these students will build on for the rest of their life, no parent or anyone else, should be able to take this realization away from a teacher. The same holds true for any position that one may hold. We need to give it our best and know that our efforts, will speak for themselves, for the Christian the added bonus is in knowing that whatever we are doing we are working as unto the Lord, and that our reward is from Him, (Colossians 3:23,24).

Best repairs to help you sell a house

ARTHUR V. VEAL IV With the winter finally beginning to thaw, many pe ople h ave be g u n to think about selling their home this spring. I meet w it h fa m i l ies a l l t he t ime t hat ma ke repa irs or I m pr ov e me nt s a nd they expect these repairs to add up to significant va lue when t hey sel l their home. Often times I end up having to explain what make a value added improvement and what is a repair because there is a difference. A repa i r is si mply fix ing something that a new buyer assumes will be working when they get the house. For example, put t i ng a new roof on a propert y w ill not add much value when you are sel ling t he home. Most buyers don’t expect the roof to leak and there is no more value in a roof that is 3 months old then a roof that is 10 years old and still has 20 years of life left. The same goes for hot water tanks, furnaces, a nd w i ndow s. None of these things will add that much value to the resell of your home. The only exception to this rule is if these things don’t work as they are supposed to. In other words a furnace that doesn’t work w ill lower the value of your home so when you fix it just expect to get an average to below average va lue for you r house. Now the other

side of t h is coi n is a n i mprovement. A n improvement is something t hat when a buyer sees the item it has a perceived value. It’s something the buyer didn’t expect to see but they like it. An example of a n improvement would be freshly polished h a rd w o o d f lo or s, ne w c a bi net s w it h moder n accents, a bathroom with a ver y modern sin k, or even new modern exterior doors. T hese items a re unexpected and they add u n ique st y le t hat may stand out to a buyer and help you get a better price for your home. One la st poi nt, you notice that the items that are more likely to add to the offers you get to buy y ou r h ou s e a r e of t e n less expensive than the items that don’t add that much va lue. Too of ten I see people take out 2nd mortgages or new loans ju st to add somet h i ng that really isn’t necessary compared to something that is cheaper and will add more value. So just keep that in mind. Unt i l nex t we ek ... A r t h u r V. Ve a l I V i s t he ow ner of We Bu y Houses Home Ser v ices, a real estate investment company.

Community Theatre to produce “Time Stands Still” Crown Point Community Theatre is proud to present the regional Community Theatre premiere of the recent Broadway hit Time Stands Still, by Pulitzer Prize winner Donald Margulies (Dinner with Friends, Brooklyn Boy). This riveting work, an insightful portrait of a couple grappling with the wounds of war, will be helmed by Kate Ryan and stars KeriAnne Valukis and Hal Kilgore in the pivotal roles of the photojournalist and war correspondent, with Marc Ryser and Rachel Livingston completing the cast. Time Stands Still runs weekends March 28-30 and April 4-12. The latest work by Donald Margulies, Time Stands Still explores the challenges facing two longtime partners at a crucial juncture in their lives. Sarah, a thrill-seeking photojournalist, and James, her foreign correspondent lover, have recently returned from a harrowing stint covering the war. As they struggle to piece their lives back together, the desire to move forward clashes with the instinct to stay comfortably – or even uncomfortably – in place. Told with disarming wit and keen insight, the script shows a fiercely intelligent couple stumbling for answers when a relationship must accommodate the mistakes of the past, the reality of the present, and the uncertainty of the future. All CPCT productions take place in CPCT’s black box theatrical space, a 2,500-square-foot storefront located

HORSESHOE CASINO HOSTS ‘ST. BALDRICK’S LOCKS OF LOVE’: As it does every year, the Hammond based Horseshoe Casino hosts the St. Baldrick’s Locks of Love benefit for cancer survivors who have lost their hair due to cancer treatments. The human hair is woven into wigs for the cancer survivors. Pictured here are husband and wife participants, Cindy and Kris Setlack of Hammond. Cindy is a cage supervisor at the casino and Kris is a freshly minted Real Estate Broker with Coldwell Banker Schererville. Cindy lost her beloved mother Dianna Spore at age 57 to cancer and she wanted to honor her mom in this way. As her head was being shaved, the hair was sticking to the tears running down her cheeks. Those of us watching were also moved to tears. Cindy was joined by her boss, cage manager Jason Hoffman, and other management types, who also had their head shaved. Each of the participants were sponsored and the proceeds turned over to St. Baldrick’s. In the case of Cindy and Kris, Coldwell Banker Brokers, encouraged by Broker Jessica Kljajic, donated some $300 toward the cause. One thing that struck N 2 N while at the casino, was the camaraderie of those who work there and how wonderfully they support each other during good times and bad. Bravo Horseshoe and Kris and Cindy and company! *** “NEWSPAPER NECESSITIES” Will be presented by Tina Bearid at the South Suburban Genealogical and Historical Society at the April 12th, 2014 monthly meeting starting at 10 a.m. Something we already know, but, will be further explained by Tina at the meeting. “Newspapers hold an astounding amount of genealogical and local history information beyond obituaries,” she advises. Tina will show how to find these hidden gems and discover where you can find free digital copies of original newspapers and online indexes. Join others who love to do family genealogy research on April 12th meeting at the Hazel Crest Village Boardroom, 3000 West 170th Place, Hazel Crest, Il. All are welcome. Non-members pay at $3 fee. Refreshments will follow the program in the library. For more information call 708-335-3340 or visit www.ssghs.org ***

WEDDING BELLS TO RING OUT FOR RACHEL SMALL AND ADAM TRILLER: The couple plan to wed on Saturday May 3rd, 2014 in Schererville, In. They are pictured here with Adam’s

9 month old niece Stella Grace Fry at the Innsbrook Country Club where their wedding reception will be held. Rachel is the daughter of Nancy and the late Jim Small and Adam is the son of Dean and Betty Triller of Valparaiso. Adam is this reporter’s dear nephew and Stella Grace is my darling great niece. The couple’s family and friends threw a delightful shower for them on March 22nd and they received enough household items to last a long, long time--Blessings and Best Wishes to Adam and Rachel. Long May They Love! *** ELMWOOD CHAPEL CELEBRATES 25 YEARS: Owner Jim Betkowski and his wife Lu and their sons, Jim Jr. Joseph and Matthew welcomed the public to their Chapel’s silver anniversary party on Saturday March 22nd, 2014 at Trinity Council Knights of Columbus hall , 112th and Ewing Avenue, the East Side, Chicago. Couple about town, Lois and Tom Cornwell of Calumet City were one of the many locals who attended the festive event which featured a buffet and open bar from 4 to 8 p.m. “It was really a great event,” Tom noted. “Jim gave a 40 minute talk on how it came to be and it was very interesting.” Jim Betkowski won a 4 year scholarship to Notre Dame and attended for just one year before deciding that the academic life was not for him. After a few tries at various ventures, and some guidance from Golich funeral home in South Chicago, Jim decided to become a mortician and own his own funeral home. The rest is history. He now has his flagship chapel, on Chicago’s East Side and another in St. John, Indiana and most recently, in Cedar Lake, Indiana. As a result of their success, the family has been able to be very generous to Annunciata Church and school, local sports teams and other philanthropies. Our family has used Elmwood Chapels most recently to bury my brother Jerry and they went out of their way to help us over the rough spots and make us comfortable during that trying time. Congratulations to the Betkowski family. Many more years of gracious and kind service. *** M E E T A N D G R E E T AT T O M ’ S RESTAURANT IN CALUMET CITY: Sight seen-- enjoying lunch at Tom’s recently, Jim Amendola and Jim Whalen. Jim Amendola is a former Chicago police officer and construction owner and Jim Whalen worked for the city. Both are retired for the most part and hailed from Hegewisch and East Side. Tom’s seems to be the place where old friends catch up with each other. The Sears retirees group meet there and so do other friends from the ‘hood’ informally. By that I mean chums who grew up in South Chicago, East Side and Hegewisch or South Deering went to schools there and still come back to visit from time to time. Its fun to see who will be sitting in one of the booths, remembering when..... *** CALUMET CITY CHAMBER TO HOST APRIL MEMBERSHIP MEETING: The event will be held at the Calumet City Library on Wednesday April 23rd, 2014 with Calumet City Development Director Bryan Swanson as guest speaker. The meeting begins at 11: 30 to 1:30 with box luncheon catered by Jimboo’s in Thornton. Reservations needed.
