Homeowners: Make sure you aren’t missing out on property tax savings Exemptions
With the release of 2023 Second Installment Property Tax Bills, homeowners should check to make sure they are not missing property tax-saving exemptions on their bills.
Homeowners are encouraged to review the bottom left corner of the tax bill to confirm their exemption deductions. Most homeowners are eligible for the Homeowner Exemption, which saves an average of approximately $950 dollars. Senior homeowners over 65 are likely eligible for additional property tax savings with the Senior Exemption.
Seniors and Veterans may also be eligible for further exemptions such as the Low-Income Senior Citizens Assessment Freeze “Senior Freeze” and Veterans with Disabilities Exemptions.
If a homeowner believes they are eligible for an exemption, they can apply for their missing property tax savings by completing a Certificate of Error application. The Certificate of Error process provides homeowners with an opportunity to redeem missing exemptions for
the 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019 and 2018 tax years. Homeowners are encouraged to submit an online application immediately or make an appointment to apply for missing exemptions. Accepted photo IDs and documents required to apply are listed on the Assessor’s website.
As a reminder, homeowners are responsible for paying the entire tax bill to the Cook County Treasurer’s Office by August 1, 2024. If a homeowner paid the original amount due, they would receive a refund check from the Cook County Treasurer’s Office in the mail once the application is processed by the Assessor’s Office.
To learn more about missing exemptions, join a virtual workshop on Facebook or YouTubeon the following dates:
Tuesday, July 9, 2024, at 6:00 p.m. in English. Wednesday, July 10, 2024, at 6:00 p.m. in Spanish.

IL switching to ACT exams for state assessments
By PETER HANCOCK Capitol News Illinois phancock@capitolnewsillinois.com
SPRINGFIELD – When Illinois high school students sit down to take their annual state assessments next year, they will take a different exam than in recent years.
The Illinois State Board of Education recently announced that starting next spring, it will use the ACT exam rather than the SAT. Both are standardized tests that measure students’ proficiency in core subjects such as English language arts and math. Both are also commonly used for college admissions – although many colleges and universities have stopped requiring them – as well as scholarship applications.
Illinois, however, also uses them as part of the battery of tests schools administer each year to meet federal mandates under the Every Student Succeeds Act. Results of those tests are reported each year on the Illinois Report Card and are used to hold schools and districts accountable for meeting basic academic standards. Illinois started using the SAT with Essay as the state assessment for 11th grade students in spring 2017. Two years later, it began using the PSAT 8/9 exam for 9th grade students and the PSAT 10 for high school sophomores.
At the time, according to ISBE, incorporating a college entrance exam into the state’s annual assessment program was considered a bonus because it gave nearly all graduating high school students a reportable score, paid for by the state, which they could then use for college and scholarship applications.
In recent years, though, many colleges and universities stopped requiring either the SAT or ACT as part of their application and admission processes.
In 2021, Illinois lawmakers passed the Higher Education Fair Admissions Act requiring all public universities and community
colleges to adopt a “test-optional” policy for admissions, meaning students could voluntarily choose whether to include them in their application package. But ISBE continued using the tests as part of its federally mandated statewide assessments.
The upcoming switch to the ACT exam came about through ISBE’s routine procurement process. The agency’s contract with the College Board, the nonprofit corporation that operates the SAT, was set to expire on June 30, prompting the agency to open a new bidding process.
The state board agreed to open the bidding process and solicit sealed proposals from testing companies at its regular monthly meeting in September 2023. The decision to award a six-year, $53 million contract to ACT was finalized in May.
According to an FAQ document that ISBE has circulated, one of the advantages of switching exams is the ACT includes a science component, whereas the SAT only covered the core subjects of reading, writing and math. That means 11th grade students will no longer have to take a separate Illinois Science Assessment, thereby reducing overall testing time.
The change also means that students who still want to take the SAT or the PSAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test will have to do so on their own, in addition to the statewide ACT accountability exam. Local schools and districts will have the option of choosing whether to administer those tests during the school day, but the state will not pay for students to take those tests.

Pace Bus is Hiring at South Suburban College
South Suburban College (SSC) and Pace Bus are pleased to announce another pre-hiring event to provide a free Class B Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) permit course for the next generation of professional bus operators in the Chicago Southland region. The college and transportation agency will offer a customized two-week course to assist qualified applicants in obtaining their CDL permit. To remove financial barriers for students to pursue and complete the program actively, Pace will cover the costs of tuition, training, books, fees, and other expenses associated with the program. In addition, SSC, in partnership with the Workforce Equity Initiative Grant, will provide a completion incentive for participants who complete the two-week course.
On Monday, July 15, 2024, from 5:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m., SSC will host a pre-hiring event for job seekers to meet with Pace staff. During the 3-hour event, applicants will complete a screening process in the MB Financial Bank Room on SSC’s Main Campus,
including application completion, an assessment questionnaire, and a background check. All candidates must bring a valid Illinois driver’s license and a DMV or Secretary of State Motor Vehicle Report (MVR) (also called Driving Record Abstracts in Illinois) with no more than two infractions or tickets in the last five years. Candidates are responsible for the cost of the MVR, which is $20. Assessment results will be available 2-4 days after the event when candidates must complete an Illinois Department of Transportation physical and drug screening. Pace Bus will cover the cost of these screenings. Candidates who pass these screenings will be enrolled in a training course that will take place at SSC’s Main Campus. Qualified candidates who complete the two-week course will transition to six-week on-the-job training with Pace. For more information or to register for the CDL Class B licensure program with SSC and Pace, please contact SSC’s Continuing Education Program at (708) 596-2000, ext. 5723.

After working on a client’s problem, I wrote a letter to her on June 10, 2024. The client is from Schererville, Indiana. With some editing to protect the client’s privacy, here is the letter that I sent to her.
Previously, I wrote to you and a vice president of the Medicare supplement insurance company that you selected through our insurance agency. Today, I phoned that vice president to learn more after she researched your case.
You had two different insurance policies with the same group of companies. One policy covered you from December 2016 to December 2023. The other policy covered you from December 2023 through now.
The claims on the list you submitted for me to check were in 2022 and 2023. Here are the results of my research.
The claim for 01/15/2023 with a balance of $37.77 was part of your Medicare Part B annual deductible. You have a Plan G supplement policy. That does not cover the Medicare Part B annual deductible. So, you will have to pay the $37.77.
The claims for the four balances for $10 on the bill were refused by Medicare. If Medicare denies a charge as covered, the insurance company will not pay on it. Your policy is a Medicare supplement policy that pays the last 20% of any Medicare approved charge. I don’t know why Medicare refused to cover these items. That is why I asked you to bring the Medicare ruling reports to me so that I could determine if the medical service provider made a mistake when the
claims were filed. If a medical firm files claims incorrectly, Medicare will deny the claims until the claims are filed correctly. But for now, you owe the $40 from the four $10 balance claims.
The medical firm filing the claims was obligated to honor a 2% discount to you because it entered a contract with a medical discount plan. It did not honor its commitment. Your insurance company is reprocessing those claims to pay the final 2% so that you do not need to do that. Your insurance company is acting honorably. The medical firm you used did not act honorably to give you the 2% discount under the contract it entered with the medical discount group.
If you have questions about this, contact your insurance agent.
All the help that I gave this client was FREE OF CHARGE. This insurance agency helps all our clients with Medicare related billing problems to demonstrate that we really do care about our clients. If your insurance agent or agency does not give this high level of customer service, shouldn’t you switch to a firm that does—like this one?
Note: Woodrow Wilcox is the senior medical billing case worker at Senior Care Insurance Services in Merrillville, Indiana. He has saved clients of that firm over three million dollars by fighting mistakes and fraud in Medicare related billing. Also, Wilcox wrote the book SOLVING MEDICARE PROBLEM$ which is available through book stores and online.
“RE”Time: Don’t REPEAT
by Janice R Newman
Breaking free from our harmful habits and vices is essential to progress toward growth and success. Unlike repeating successful strategies which leads to victories, like Michael Jordan winning multiple championships or J.K. Rowling becoming a best-selling author with her Harry Potter series, repeated bad strategies and vices are destructive and halt our success. It’s time to hit the “Don’t REPEAT button” to remove those unwanted habits and create new effective habits.
Removing unwanted habits involves changing the learned pattern of behavior that we’ve become accustomed to. We must break free from those patterns to move towards a brighter future.
We must identify these detrimental patterns. It requires introspection and honesty. It’s not always easy to acknowledge that certain behaviors or patterns, such as overspending, overeating, or maintaining unhealthy relationships are causing harm. These patterns become familiar, natural, and comfortable, such as driving a car or riding a bike, even though they ultimately hold us back. For instance, overspending might lead to financial stress and clutter despite the temporary thrill of shopping or the hunt for a great deal.
You must examine your life and identify which patterns need to be changed. Are there habits that repeatedly lead to negative consequences? Maybe it’s eating unhealthy foods that affect your weight and energy level, or constantly choosing relationships that don’t bring out the best in you. Do you notice a pattern of dating the same type of person and getting the same results? Recognizing these patterns is a starting step to initiating change in your life.
Some harmful habits might seem small or irrelevant, but they can grow and become big problems if we don’t stop them early. Just like a garden needs weeding to grow healthy plants, our lives need cleaning up from bad habits to thrive.
Bad patterns are sometimes hard to break because they are reinforced not only by our
actions but by the influence of others. We all have one person in our lives who encourages spending money on unnecessary things, food, or activities, even when trying to save. This can make it harder to get financially secure and control spending habits. If necessary, you must distance yourself from unsupportive people. Proverbs 13:20 reminds us, “Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm.” Surround yourself with positive influences to support your growth and not enablers. Having someone to encourage and hold you accountable helps with stopping repeated bad patterns.
Once you’ve identified the patterns and influences in your life, it’s time to take action to stop the disastrous habits and create new ones. Now is the time to move from don’t repeat to replace. Replace negative habits with positive ones. You will fight, kick, and struggle, but it will be worth it.
Replace overspending by creating a budget, giving yourself a small weekly splurge allowance, and paying cash to limit your credit card usage. Why not just leave the credit cards at home? Replace overeating with eating healthier fruits and vegetables in at least one meal. If it’s a struggle with purchasing the wrong food, send someone else shopping. If you realize a dysfunctional pattern in relationships maybe explore dating someone opposite of your past partners or get a friend or relative’s opinion of that person and believe them. Repeat affirmations and prayers daily for moral and spiritual support. Removing a detrimental pattern brings you closer to a healthier and more fulfilling life. Don’t repeat destructive patterns, vices, and habits because they stop growth and success in your life. Utilize honest introspection to examine your habits, vices, and influences to see if they are negative and detrimental. Implement effective replacement habits that will help you grow. Don’t repeat old patterns that hold you back – go for your sixth ring or seventh book. Y? Why Not!

Estate Questions & Answers
Question. We received a full price offer on our home the 2nd day we had it listed. We now think we may have listed it too low. Your thoughts?
Answer. Versions of this column have appeared before. It is still true. And for many, still relevant. Perhaps nowhere is this phenomenon more clearly illustrated than in the case where a seller receives a good offer right away.
The annals of real estate are well stocked with stories of sellers who refused to take a good, but not perfect, first offer, and who then waited a long time before finally accepting something else at a considerably lower price. The Sellers first thought is almost inevitable. “Did we list it too low?” “If someone will offer this much so soon, maybe we should wait a while and see if we can get more.” As an antidote to the ill effects of the “curse of the first offer”, this observation might be kept in mind.
The fact that an offer is received early in the listing period -- even in the first few days -- doesn’t mean that the property has been listed too low.
Today, a good buyer’s agent will have electronically entered a “profile” of his client’s needs and price range into the system.
Then, whenever he logs on to the MLS, he will be notified if a listing has been entered that matches that profile.
We all know that there is typically a bit of a dance in the pricing and negotiating for a property. Sellers, with the concurrence of their agents, will usually list their property for an amount that is both higher than what they believe its value to be and higher than what they would be satisfied to receive. Why? Because they know that buyers almost always want and expect to pay less than the listed price
The final point is that potential buyers learn quickly of the existence of an appropriate new listing. Thus, a flurry of activity at the outset of the listing does not necessarily imply a too-low price; rather, it reflects the efficiency of the system. Don’t be greedy, take your good offer and run to the bank with the profits.

JOSH BOOTSMA
Jesus says in Chapter 9 of the Biblical book of Luke: “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.”
What does Jesus mean when he says we must take up our cross?
When Jesus carried the cross through Jerusalem to the place where he would ultimately die, the cross was certainly a physical burden for Him. But Jesus promises us in Matthew 11:30 that his “yoke is easy and [his] burden is light,” so Jesus isn’t talking about a heavy physical or mental burden he’s asking us to bear — because he’s already borne the weight of our sin.
The cross in Jesus’ day was used for one purpose: death. Dying on a cross was an agonizingly painful and public way to die. The same way the cross was used to put Jesus and others to death thousands of years ago, we are also to put to death our sinful thoughts, words, and actions.
Picking up our cross every day means actively killing the sin in our lives on a daily basis.
We wield this death-bringing power not of our own strength. Because of Jesus’ sin-killing death and resurrection, we have the power of the Holy Spirit (who is God Himself) to stare our sin in the face and choose a better way — God’s way.
The English Puritan John Owen once said, “Be killing sin, or sin will be killing you.” Through the power of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, we have the power to daily take up our cross and crucify our sinfulness. Jesus has made the ultimate sacrifice and given us power over our sin. Now, He calls us to use that power to sacrifice our sins every day.

Mission of Mercy help
Dental Care
The Illinois State Dental Society Foundation hosted its seventh annual Mission of Mercy (MOM) on June 28th and 29th in Peoria. They provided free dental care to 1306 patients. The patients came from more than 55 counties and three states. More than 80 veterans received priority care on the first day as part of the veteran-first initiative, a gesture of gratitude for their service.
This event brought together over 1,000 volunteers – including dentists, hygienists, dental assistants and dental students from across the state. The critical dental services are valued at over $1.6 million at no cost to patients and was available to anyone in need of dental care.

NATIONAL KITTEN DAY
I National Kitten Day on July 10 purrfectly celebrates the cuddly warmth of a kitty. The miniature fur balls of energy snuggle their way into our hearts with no effort at all. Within a flick of their tiny ears, we’re in love.National Kitten Day reminds us that while kittens are well equipped to find their way into our hearts, many don’t find homes. They’re abandoned at shelters, on the side of the road or wild and feral. Spaying and neutering our pets, including our cats, is vital to their health and keeping the stray population down.
You can’t predict financial emergencies — but you can prepare for them.
To do that, you can build an emergency fund to pay for unexpected expenses, some of which may be sizable. Without one, you might be forced to dip into your investments, possibly including your retirement accounts, such as your IRA or 401(k). If this happens, you might have to pay taxes and penalties, and you’d be withdrawing dollars that could otherwise be growing over time to help pay for your retirement.
In thinking about such a fund, consider these questions:
• How much should I save? The size of your emergency fund should be based on several factors, including your income, your spouse’s income and your cost of living. However, for most people in their working years, three to six months of total expenses is adequate. Once you’re retired, though, you may want to keep up to a year’s worth of expenses in your emergency fund — because you don’t want to be forced to cash out investments when their price may be down, and you may not be replenishing these accounts any longer.
• How can I build an emergency fund? Given all your normal expenses — mortgage, utilities, food, transportation and others — you might find it challenging to set aside some extra money in an emergency fund. But you do have opportunities. If you’re working, you could set up a direct deposit so that part of your paycheck goes directly into your emergency fund. You could also save a portion of any extra income you receive, such as bonuses and tax refunds.
• Where should I keep the money? An emergency fund has two key requirements: You need to be able to access the money immediately and you need to count on a certain amount being available. So, it’s a
good idea to keep your emergency fund in a liquid, low-risk account that offers protection of principal. For this fund, you’re less interested in growth than you are in stability. But because interest rates have recently changed, you may be able to get a reasonable return without sacrificing liquidity or safety.
• What types of emergencies should I prepare for? Your emergency fund could be needed for any number of events: a job loss or early retirement, housing or auto repairs, unreimbursed medical bills, unexpected travel, and so on. But this fund may also be needed to help you cope with other threats. Consider this: In 2023, the U.S. saw a record 28 weather and climate disasters, each of which resulted in at least $1 billion in damages — and often many times this amount — according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Depending on where you live, your home or business may be susceptible to tornadoes, floods, wildfires, hurricanes and extreme heat and cold waves. These events can, and do, result in property repair and relocation costs, higher insurance premiums and even price increases for basic goods, such as groceries and prescription medications.
One final word about an emergency fund: It takes discipline to maintain it and to avoid tapping into it for everyday expenses or impulse purchases. The name says it all — this is a fund that should only be used for emergencies. By keeping it intact until it’s truly needed, you can help yourself weather many of the storms that may come your way.

WALKER
William H. (Bill) Walker, age 81, formerly of Hammond, IN, passed away peacefully at his home Thursday, July 4, 2024. He was born January 25, 1943, to the late Jennie Mae and Herman Alexander Walker as the 2nd eldest of six children. Bill was a proud U.S. Army Veteran (Vietnam 1964 – 1966) and a devoted husband, father, grandfather, family member, and friend. Bill was also an avid amateur photographer, tennis player, family historian, and reader. His passing leaves a hole in the hearts of all those who knew and loved him for his endearing wisdom, wit and ever-present sarcasm.
Growing up in Hammond, Bill was a consistent and active member of the East Hammond community known by many nicknames – Bill, Billy, and Sonny. It was not uncommon to find him in a huddle with family and friends retelling stories of growing up on Field St., hanging out past curfew at Brooks House; South Shore train rides to explore downtown Chicago, and later in life, week-end tennis matches at Harrison Park. In addition to his military service, Bill was honored and proud of being one of the first African American summer lifeguards at Wolf Lake and one of the first African American members of the tennis team for Hammond High.
Before entering the Army, Bill met the love of his life, Clara J Walker (nee Upshaw) while both worked at Rand McNally. Bill and Clara were married on August 31,1968 and the two built and lived in their home on Highland St. for nearly 50 years, during which time, he earned his Associate’s Degree in Applied Science from Purdue University (1977) and went on to have two children, Nicole J. Walker and Troy D. Walker, and two granddaughters, Taylor D. Walker and TseKai M. Walker. In 2000, Bill retired from BP Amoco after nearly twenty years, with the expressed goal of spending more time travelling, attending family reunions, and spoiling his grandchildren. He succeeded.
Bill was preceded in death by his parents, Jennie Mae and Herman Walker and brothers Raymond Walker and Darryl L. Walker. He is survived by his wife, children,
and grandchildren, siblings Shirley Walker- Sheppard, Lewis Walker (Mabel), Paul A. Walker (Janette), Leonard Walker (Donna), Wayne Walker (Vandalia), Paul (Marilyn) Walker, Willie May Walker, Sandy Gail Pilgrom, Angel Walker, Alice Fay Walker, Barbara (Larry) Walker-Foote, and Debra Ann Walker; as well as a host of nieces, nephews, relatives, and dear friends.
A visitation will be held on Friday, July 12, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. followed by the funeral service at 11:00 a.m. at Smits Funeral Home, 2121 Pleasant Springs Lane (Rt.30 & Pleasant Springs Lane) Dyer, IN. Internment services will immediately follow at Concordia Cemetery – Hammond, IN.

IHCDA receives grant to expand services for youth at risk of homelessness
INDIANAPOLIS (July 2, 2024) – The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) announced a $1.5 million award to the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority (IHCDA) that will benefit youth and young adults (YYA) who live with homelessness and housing insecurity throughout Indiana.
The Youth Homelessness System Improvement (YHSI) Grant aims to create a seamless and coordinated system of care for youth experiencing or at risk of homelessness within the Indiana Balance of State Continuum of Care (CoC) and in collaboration with the Indianapolis CoC. The grant will allow IHCDA to improve identification of youth in need and make it easier for youth to navigate available services. The grant will also make it possible to:
• Focus on systemic change by funding projects that create and build capacity for Youth Action Boards
• Collect and use data on at-risk youth and youth experiencing homelessness
• Develop strong leaders within a community and improve the coordination, communication, operation and administration of homeless assistance projects to better serve youth, including prevention and diversion strategies
“Together with partners like the Indianapolis Coalition for Homelessness Intervention and
Prevention (CHIP), the Indiana Department of Health, the City of South Bend and the Youth Services Bureau of St. Joseph County, IHCDA will be able to leverage YHSI grant funds to greatly improve response systems for youth homelessness in Indiana,” said Lt. Governor Suzanne Crouch, Indiana’s Secretary of Agriculture and Rural Development. “This is a major step forward for our youth and these funds will make an immediate impact in communities across the state.”
The grant application requested support for the following projects:
• Establishing viable local and state partnerships between youth focused and homelessnessfocused organizations
• Improving capacity, effectiveness, and YYA leadership
• Improving the BoS CoC coordinated entry system (CES) to address youth-specific homelessness
• Improving data collection and coordination between organizations working with youth at-risk of and experiencing homelessness
• Assessing, addressing, and improving equity in youth homeless response systems
