Highland, IN Ranked No. 9 on Realtor.com® 2024 Hottest ZIP Codes in America
Buyers are looking for the combination of value and desirability, according to Realtor.com®’s tenth annual Hottest ZIP Codes report Merrilville, IN (Aug. 20, 2024) – Highland, Indiana, one of the communities served by members of the Northwest Indiana REALTOR® Association has been ranked No. 9 in the 10th annual Realtor.com® Hottest ZIP Codes Report released today.
“This accolade highlights our region’s dedication to fostering thriving neighborhoods and innovative developments making not only the city of Highland but all of our region an increasingly attractive destination for homebuyers and investors alike,” said Peter Novak, CEO, Northwest Indiana REALTORS® Association.
Once again this years’ hottest ZIPs are located exclusively in the Midwest and the Northeast, as each of this year’s top markets attract buyers who are looking for a combination of value and desirability.
Joining Highland, IN on the top 10 2024 Hottest ZIP Codes in America, in rank order, are:
1. 43230 Gahanna, Ohio
2. 63021 Ballwin, Mo.
3. 01970 Salem, Mass.
4. 07920 Basking Ridge, NJ
5. 14609 Rochester, NY
6. 08054 Mount Laurel, NJ
7. 01453 Leominster, Mass.
8. 01085 Westfield, Mass.
9. 46322 Highland, IN
10. 18062 Macungie, Pa.
“While we’ve seen big changes in the housing market, such as a growing number of homes for sale, this year’s hottest ZIP codes in America show common factors are driving interest in these highly competitive areas,” said Realtor.com® Chief Economist Danielle Hale. “Although mortgage rate relief is starting to materialize, this year’s hottest ZIPs reflect the focus on affordability that home shoppers have had over the last few years in the face of high housing costs. Concentrated in larger metros across the Northeast and Midwest, these top 10 ZIPs attracted highly qualified home buyers seeking more space without relinquishing proximity to urban amenities.”
Value for Everyone
This years’ hottest ZIP codes all offered some form of value for potential buyers. Compared to the greater U.S. housing market, and even the surrounding areas in which they sit, each of the
top 10 have a lower median list price and/or median listing price per square foot. The Midwest zips, Columbus (ZIP 43230 in Gahanna, Ohio), Chicago (ZIP 46322 in Highland, Ind.), and St. Louis (ZIP 63021 in Ballwin, Mo.), on this year’s list were priced an average 24.6% lower than the national median in June. Three Northeast ZIPs Rochester, N.Y. (ZIP 14609 in central Rochester), Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington, PA-NJ-DE-MD (ZIP 08054 in Mount Laurel, NJ) and Springfield, Mass. (ZIP 01085 in Westfield, Mass.), on this years’ list were priced an average 28.8% below the U.S. median in June. Even the list’s highest priced market in Basking Ridge, NJ (ZIP 07920), with a median listing price of $995,000 in June, was affordable relative to the larger New York City metro area. The median listing price per square foot in Basking Ridge was 33.6% below the surrounding metro’s average in June.
Highly Competitive
Competition for homes in this years’ hottest ZIPs has quickened the market pace. Homes in the hottest ZIPs spent an average 13 days on the market in June 2024, more than a month (-32 days) less than the national median. The high-stakes environment in these areas means that successful buyers are well-qualified and well-equipped to purchase a home. Successful buyers in these areas had an average credit score of 757 compared to the U.S.’ average of 734 as well as a 16.7% average down payment compared to the national average of 14.0% in the first half of 2024. Not only are homes going fast in these hottest markets, in the first four months of the year, homes sold for an average 3.3% over asking price while nationally homes sold for an average 2.3% under asking price in the same period.
Methodology Notes:
Realtor.com’s Hottest Zip Code rankings are based on an algorithm that takes into account two aspects of the housing market: 1) market demand, as measured by unique viewers per property on Realtor.com, and 2) the pace of the market as measured by the number of days a listing remains active on Realtor.com. The hottest areas are those that have high demand from buyers, in other words, lots of unique viewers per each property, and fast-selling homes, an indicator of limited supply. Market Hotness rankings based on Realtor.com listing data from January to June 2024. The list of top zip codes is limited to one zip code per metropolitan area. Descriptive statistics in this writeup refer to June 2023 data unless otherwise noted.
Mrvan Announces HHS Grant for HealthLinc

On August 20, 2024, an agent in our office asked me to help his client who had a problem with a “Marketplace” or “Obamacare” insurance policy that we had sold to the client.
The problem was that the hospital goofed by assigning the client an anesthesiologist that was “out of network” with the “Obamacare” insurance policy that she had. That increased the cost of the services way more than getting services from an anesthesiologist that would be “in-network”. We believed that the fault was with the hospital. So, I asked them to fix the problem so that the client would not be harmed financially.
With some editing to protect privacy, here is the letter that I sent to help the client with this problem.
Please, explain what your firm did. Our client sent a bill to us to check. It is not from your firm. It is from [an anesthesiologist]. But she got the bill because your firm caused her to get the bill. She went to your hospital for services. She had a Marketplace (Obamacare) insurance policy. She needed the hospital to be “innetwork”, the doctor to be “in-network”, and the anesthesiologist to be “in-network” to get full assistance through her policy.
She chose the hospital and it was “innetwork”. She chose the doctor and the doctor was “in-network”. But your firm – the hospital – chose the anesthesiologist. Why did you choose an anesthesiologist that was not “in-network”? The bill is over $7,000 for a person that has a Marketplace policy!
What can and will you do to fix this problem so that the patient is not harmed financially? All the help that we are giving this client is FREE OF CHARGE. We help all our clients with medical bill problems at no charge to demonstrate that we really do care for 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? This one does.

During your working years, you know where your income is coming from because you’re working. But once you retire, you’ll have to identify your income sources, know how much you can expect from them and know how to manage them to help support a retirement that could last two or three decades.
So, where will your retirement income come from? And what decisions will you need to make about these income sources?
Consider the following:
• Retirement accounts – If you’ve regularly contributed to an IRA and a 401(k) or similar employer-sponsored retirement plan, you likely have accumulated substantial amounts of money in these accounts — but during your retirement, you’ll need to start tapping into them. In fact, once you turn 73, you’re required to start taking withdrawals from some of your retirement accounts, with the amount determined by your age and account balance. You could take out more than these amounts (technically called required minimum distributions, or RMDs) but you can’t take less without incurring penalties. Many people take out 4% of their balance each year, and this guideline may be reasonable, but everyone’s situation is different. So, you’ll need to weigh various factors including your age, health and other sources of income before deciding on an appropriate withdrawal rate.
• Social Security – You can start collecting Social Security at age 62, but your payments will be much higher if you wait until your full retirement age, which will be between 66 and 67. And your benefits will reach the maximum amount if you wait until 70 before collecting. So, your decision on when to take your benefits will depend on whether you can afford to wait, and for how long. In making this choice, you’ll also need to consider your health and your family history of longevity. And if you’re married, you may want to factor in spousal benefits when deciding when you should collect Social Security. A spouse can
receive either their own benefit, based on their work record, or up to 50% of their spouse’s benefit, whichever is greater. So, if one spouse has a much higher benefit, it may make sense for that spouse to delay taking Social Security as long as possible so that both spouses can receive bigger payments.
• Earned income – Even if you have retired from one career, it doesn’t mean you can never receive any earned income again. If you have specific skills that can translate to part-time work or a consulting arrangement, you might want to consider reentering the work force in this way. With the added income, you might be able to afford delaying Social Security, and you would still be eligible to contribute to an IRA.
• Supplemental lifetime income – There aren’t many guarantees in the financial and investment worlds — but one of them is the income from a fixed annuity, which can be structured to provide you with a lifetime income stream. Annuities aren’t for everyone, however, and they do involve penalties for early withdrawals and lack of protection from inflation.
By learning all you can about your potential retirement income sources, and by understanding how to manage this income to your best advantage, you can help yourself achieve a comfortable — and more rewarding — retirement.

Real Estate
Questions & Answers
Question: In these bad economic times why are people still buying homes? I am renting in an apartment complex and I don’t have to worry about any real estate and economic mess.
Answer: Even if you are a tenant, you have to pay a monthly rent. The bottom line is many people are still buying homes.
One of the greatest benefits of owning your own home is the freedom it can give you. If you live in an apartment, you have to deal with thin walls and noisy neighbors, and the task of keeping your own household relatively noise free. If you own your home, you can do whatever you want with it. You can hang pictures or paint the walls as you please.
Owning a home provides more control over the children than in an apartment complex. In a neighborhood, kids usually play in the yards or go to friend’s house a few doors away. My clients have told me that in an apartment complex they never knew where the kids were. They could be in any of dozens of apartments. In a house you get to know the neighbors and watch out for each other’s kids.
When you first purchase your home, your down payment is your only stake, as you pay
down your mortgage, you own more of what may be an increasingly valuable property. This is called equity. Unlike renting where your rent can go up yearly, fixed mortgage payments will stay the same even as the market fluctuates.
Since the days of our country’s Founding Fathers, pride of ownership has been a reflection of the value Americans place on freedom and self-reliance. Ensuring the growth of homeownership has always been a major objective of American national policy, dating back to the Homestead Act signed by President Abraham Lincoln in 1862, which provided ways for settlers to claim public property as their own. We are happy that you are content in your apartment, but homeownership continues to be the American Dream.

To help my congregation learn and remember the purposes and functions of the Ten Commandments in our lives, I’ve come up with a memory visual: the ‘Ten Commandments Hand’. I’ll admit, it’s slightly dorky. But I think it gets the point across.
Let’s start with your thumb. “Thumbs up” means “Thumbs up to Jesus.” He is the only human being who has ever kept the Ten Commandments perfectly. In other words, he is the only human who ever loved God and others perfectly. If you want to see an attractive embodiment, a lived-out-in-real-time example of the Ten Commandments life, look at Jesus.
See how he trusted, worshiped, adored, loved, served and submitted to God perfectly (1st commandment). See how he obeyed his parents perfectly as a child, honored and cared for his mother as an adult (5th commandment). See how he sacrificed his life to give life to others (6th commandment). See how he, as a single man, related to women with honor, dignity, and purity (7th commandment). See how he was true, truthful, and trustworthy (9th commandment).
Let’s move on to your pointer finger. Often, the pointed finger is an accusatory finger. The Ten Commandments function that way. They accuse and convict us of breaking God’s commandments. “Therefore, no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of sin” (Romans 3:20, NIV).
From there, let’s move to your middle finger, the tallest finger. It says, “Look up to Jesus” when your pointer finger accuses and convicts you of sin. Look up to him and call on him to forgive you and wash away your guilt. He will. Three fingers down, two to go. We’ll discuss those next week.

NATIONAL RED WINE DAY
On August 28, National Red Wine Day ushers in the flavors of fall. As the grapes ripen and signal a time for warmer sips, wine drinkers know reds mean tailgating and spicy foods. Throughout the year, wine days afford us the opportunity to taste and learn about the differences between wines. Earlier this month National Prosecco Day gave us the last bubbly rays of summer. Now we savor the best of the season with Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot noir, Port, and Syrah.
Ball, Breast, and Butterfly: Triathlon Triumph of Cancer Survivors
Chicago, IL August 22, 2024 — As the 2024 Chicago Triathlon approaches, a remarkable team of cancer survivors and patients, known as “Ball, Breast, and Butterfly,” are preparing to take on the challenge, proving that a cancer diagnosis is not the end, but rather a new beginning. This unique triathlon team, comprising experienced athletes who have competed in the U.S. and around the world – Alex McCarthy, Sara Zailskas Walsh, and Eliot Ephraim – is assembling not only to raise funds for the American Cancer Society, but also to inspire others. The three aim to show that cancer survivors and patients, especially those with testicular, breast, and thyroid/neck cancers –hence ball, breast, and butterfly – can transform their experiences into powerful stories of hope and empowerment.
Alex McCarthy (testicular cancer, “Ball”) faced his own battle with testicular cancer, marked by surgery in 2022. Alex tried to embrace the journey with resilience and hope. Returning to exercise helped him to overcome the feeling of fragility that accompanies a cancer diagnosis. Alex is grateful for the family and friends that gave him strength and aware of how fortunate he was to have quality health insurance. There are significant disparities in cancer care accessibility and out-of-pocket cost. Easing a financial burden at a time when someone feels assaulted by their own body is a true kindness.
“Participating with this team gives me strength. I’m excited to get back into competitive races. Our fundraising efforts can make an impact at a human scale.”
Sara Zailskas Walsh (breast cancer, “Breast”) discovered her stage 1 HER2+ breast cancer diagnosis following the 2023 Chicago Triathlon. Throughout her treatment, exercise has been a critical component of her physical and mental wellness strategy. Despite the challenges, Sara
NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY OF AUDIT REPORT OF THORNTON TOWNSHIP
Thornton Township hereby provides public notice that an audit of its funds for the period of March 1, 2023 through February 29, 2024 for General Fund, General Assistance Fund and Road & Bridge Fund has been made, and that a report of such audit dated August 29, 2024, performed by John Kasperek, Co, Inc., has been filed with the County Clerk of Cook County, in accordance with 30 ILCS 15/0.01 et seq. The full report of the audit is available for public inspection at 333 E. 162nd Street, South Holland, IL 60473 during regular business hours between 9am and 4pm, Monday through Friday, except for holidays.
embraced new fitness regimens and even gained muscle during chemotherapy. Her dog Monty has been a constant source of support and companionship—and was a great reason to keep moving on the hard days. Sara’s story shows the power of positivity battling cancer.
“I’m getting treatment for breast cancer near where I live. And I’m grateful I don’t have to worry about how to get to and from treatment. Not everyone is that fortunate. This is why I want to help others.”
Eliot Ephraim (medullary thyroid cancer, “Butterfly”) has always found solace and strength in distance running and triathlon. His cancer was found by chance when he crashed on the bike leg of a triathlon last year. After a total thyroidectomy and central neck dissection, he didn’t let his diagnosis hold him back. Instead, he completed several marathons, including the São Paulo Marathon in April 2024, marking the fifth continent on which he has run one. Eliot’s journey underscores the message that while a diagnosis can change one’s life, it can also inspire profound resilience and determination.
“Cancer sucks. We got a bad deal, but something good could come out of this. We can’t change our diagnoses, but we can do something positive.”
The “Ball, Breast, and Butterfly” team is a testament to the human spirit’s resilience. They remind us that while cancer can be a formidable adversary, it can also catalyze growth, courage, and change. By participating in the Chicago Triathlon, these inspiring individuals aim to raise awareness and funds, making a positive impact on the lives of others facing similar battles.
This year, the team is specifically raising funds for the American Cancer Society’s Transportation & Lodging Grants Program, which provides essential transportation and lodging for cancer patients who face significant health disparities and barriers to receiving care. By supporting this program, they hope to alleviate some of the financial challenges that patients encounter on their journey to recovery.
This year, two million people in the United States will face a cancer diagnosis.
Cancer care often means frequent medical appointments and travel far from home to get the best treatment.
Transportation and lodging are two of the most common access-to-care challenges for patients.
Join us in supporting these incredible athletes as they redefine what it means to live beyond cancer.
To learn more about their journey and contribute to their cause, please contact media relations: James Haenes at james.haenes@cancer.org or call 312-286-3123.

Rep. Mrvan Tours Federal Projects at Michigan City Harbor, Indiana Dunes National Park, and Ports of IndianaBurns Harbor with USACE
Last week, Rep. Frank J. Mrvan joined with Colonel Kenneth Rockwell, Commander of the US Army Corps of Engineers – Chicago District (USACE), Superintendent Jason Taylor, Indiana Dunes National Park, and Ryan McCoy, Port Director of the Ports of Indiana - Burns Harbor, in a tour of certain federally funded projects across Northwest Indiana.
Specifically, Rep. Mrvan toured the Michigan City Harbor, the Indiana Dunes National Park, and the Ports of Indiana - Burns Harbor.
Congressman Mrvan stated, “Thank you to all the leaders with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Indiana Dunes National Park, and the Ports of Indiana - Burns Harbor for the opportunity to tour transformational economic projects currently being implemented in our region. I look forward to continuing to collaborate with federal, state, and local partners to bring federal dollars back to our communities that enhance our economic infrastructure and create more good-paying job opportunities for everyone.”
COL Kenneth Rockwell, USACE Chicago District Commander stated, “Our visit with Rep. Frank Mrvan provided an important opportunity to showcase the ongoing work at Michigan City Harbor, the Indiana Shoreline at IDNP, and Burns Harbor. These projects are critical to protecting and enhancing the communities in Northwest Indiana.”
Jason Taylor, Superintendent of Indiana
Dunes National Park, stated, “I appreciated the opportunity to highlight the park’s unique natural resources with Congressman Mrvan, while strengthening our partnership with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.”
Ryan McCoy, Port Director of the Ports of Indiana - Burns Harbor, stated, “Representative Mrvan’s support for Ports of Indiana-Burns Harbor at the federal level is vital to the ongoing expansion of port infrastructure that will increase our role in global trade and create more high-paying jobs for Northwest Indiana. With the Congressman’s endorsement, Ports of Indiana has applied for nearly $30 million in federal grants that are in addition to the transformational $77 million in infrastructure investments taking place now. This unprecedented level of investment will dramatically increase port business growth and regional economic development.”
Through the appropriations process and Community Project Funding requests, Congressman Mrvan has helped secure $11,692,000 for the Michigan City Harbor, $6,600,000 for improvements within the Indiana Dunes National Park, and $5,537,000 for the Ports of Indiana - Burns Harbor during his time in Congress. This federal funding grows the Northwest Indiana economy by enhancing operations and maintenance at our ports of entry and along our shoreline and attracts new people and businesses to our region.
Throw the Past in the Trash
by Janice R Newman
Think about what happens when you leave old food in your refrigerator. Over time, it gets moldy, and it’s no longer something you want to eat. You wouldn’t keep that food around or try to eat it, right? In the same way, holding on to old, bad memories, thoughts, and experiences is like keeping moldy food in your fridge. These memories are filled with hurt, fear, and anger, and they don’t do you any good. It’s time to throw those bad memories in the trash and stop garbage picking to bring them back up. Holding on to the past is bad because when you keep thinking about bad memories, it’s like eating moldy food. It doesn’t nourish your body; it makes you sick. Bad memories don’t help you grow or make you stronger. Instead, they drag you down and spoil the good things in your life. Just like one bad apple can spoil the whole bunch, one bad memory can ruin your day, week, or even your whole outlook on life.
When you keep thinking about bad experiences, your mind starts to believe that you are a failure, that you’ll never succeed, and that nothing good will happen to you. You get stuck in a negative merry-go-round. It becomes a nightmare. Isaiah 43:18 NIV, reminds us, “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past”. If you’re always in “the trash” that prevents you from seeing the better things God has planned for you.
However, you can stop bringing up the past and reliving those bad memories. Replace negative thoughts with positive ones immediately. If you don’t have a good memory of the same topic, think of something else that makes you happy. Use positive affirmations daily. I have Post-it notes all around for constant encouragement. Use your phone to deliver preset positive messages throughout the day.
Surround yourself with positive people and good influences. Listen to motivational
Bishop Noll Unveils New Athletic Stadium, Ushering in a New Era
Hammond, IN – Bishop Noll Institute marked a new chapter in its 104th school year, with the blessing and ribbon cutting of its long-awaited athletic stadium. The historic events kicked off the school year on a high note, signifying the culmination of years of planning and community support.
On Aug. 15, the school community gathered in the Bishop Noll Fieldhouse for an all-school Mass, officiated by the Most Rev. Robert J. McClory, Bishop of the Diocese of Gary. Father Jeff Burton, Father Pat Kalich, Father Dominic Bertino, and Deacon Martin Brown joined in the celebration. Following the Mass, the clergy blessed the new athletic stadium, formally dedicating the space for student athletes and future champions.
“Bless this place and all those gathered here, grant all of them that they may find welcome and experience joy, sportsmanship, teamwork and friendship,” Bishop McClory said.
The excitement continued on Aug. 19 with a ribbon-cutting ceremony held just before the girls’ soccer game, the first official competition on the new field.
Principal Lorenza Jara Pastrick ‘01 said, “This is an incredible moment for our athletic programs and athletes. They can now showcase their talents in a space they can truly be proud of. Our school motto this year is ‘In It to Win It,’ and this new stadium embodies that spirit perfectly.”
The Bishop Noll community will continue to celebrate the stadium’s opening throughout September. Alumni, families and friends are invited to attend the first home football game
on the new field, taking place on Sept. 6. A dedication ceremony will precede the 7 p.m. kick-off, as the Warriors face off against the Whiting Oilers.
The festivities continue with the annual Homecoming game on Sept. 27. The night kicks off with a 7 p.m. football game on the new turf field, followed by a Tailgate Party in the BNI fieldhouse. This celebratory event offers food, drinks, and a chance to reconnect with fellow Warriors (21+ only). Tickets for the Tailgate Party are $35 and can be purchased online at bishopnoll.org.
“The Tailgate is our most popular alumni event,” said Ryan Julian, director of advancement at Bishop Noll. “Alumni love to return to the fieldhouse, reconnect and reminisce.”
Sponsorship opportunities are also available for those who wish to further support Bishop Noll’s exciting future. Contact Juli Sandoval at jsandoval@bishopnoll.org for details. This state-of-the-art athletic stadium is a testament to the generosity of BNI stakeholders. It will serve all students, with a particular focus on enhancing the experiences of the football, soccer and track teams. This milestone marks the first major outdoor improvement to the Bishop Noll campus since the current classroom facility opened in 1963. It comes at a time of tremendous growth for the school, which is experiencing its highest enrollment decades. The new stadium not only provides a competitive edge for athletics, but also signifies a renewed commitment to fostering a vibrant and dynamic school community.
speakers, read inspiring books, or find a mentor who can help you stay focused on the good things in life. This will help keep those bad memories at bay.
Take a moment to pray or meditate to provide comfort and peace. This helps keep you feeling more in control.
Stay in the present by focusing on the present. The past is in the trash and gone. The only thing that matters is the present and the future. How you handle today will shape your tomorrow. Life is a forward race so looking back only slows you down and you lose time. All these ways will help you train your mind to stop you from bringing up the past.
It’s important to let go of the past. It’s like cleaning out the refrigerator. When you get rid of the old, moldy food, you make room in the refrigerator for healthy new food that’s wholesome to consume. In the same way, when you let go of bad memories, you make space for positive thoughts and experiences that nourish your soul. When you fill your mind with good thoughts, there’s no room for the bad ones.
Holding on to the past keeps you weighed down with negativity. It’s like carrying a heavy backpack full of rocks. Each bad memory is a rock in the backpack, making it harder for you to move forward. But when you throw those memories, feelings, and experiences in the trash, you lighten your load and free yourself of the heavy burden.
Just like you wouldn’t eat moldy food, don’t hold on to bad memories, thoughts, and experiences. Throw them in the trash and stop bringing them back up by garbage picking. Replace negative thoughts, use affirmations, focus on the future, pray, and meditate. By doing this, you can throw away the past and make room for a brighter, positive future. Y? Why Not!

This Labor Day, vow to capitalize on opportunity to diversify the workforce
By PAT DEVANEY and HANNAH HILL
This Labor Day is a celebration of our country’s growing embrace of a new face of leadership and opportunity. In our politics, a minority woman leads a presidential ticket for the first time. And on the frontlines of our labor movement, the “toolbelt generation” has tremendous room for growth led by women and minorities.
Our challenge ahead is to recognize this important moment and capitalize on it, rather than let it slip by.
We see more young people pursue apprenticeships and careers in the trades than pursuing the traditional fouryear college degree. In Springfield, Gov. JB Pritzker and the Illinois Legislature are making substantial investments in these new trades pathways, including $13.4 million for pre-apprenticeship hubs that help workers find roles in the burgeoning clean energy sector. More women and minority workers will be recruited and welcomed into these roles.
Young people are recognizing working in the trades provides a successful middle-class career and retirement security where other paths fall short. But there are hurdles that must be overcome for a more diverse workforce.
Women make up less than 11 percent of the workforce in the construction industry and just 4.3 percent in the construction trades. Despite some new momentum, recruitment and retention of women in the Illinois construction industry has plateaued at 5 percent for more than 20 years.
Why? The odds are still against working women finding success in the skilled trades.
Too few employers offer maternity leave benefits. Without maternity leave, women with children must go on short-term disability.
Child care is another major stumbling block. The costs are too high, or there are simply not enough options to match their schedules and needs. Non-union workers in child care often are paid poverty wages that lead to high turnover, forcing women workers to pay a heavy price if they want to support their families by heading to work.
With child care uncertainty and restrictions, women on the
job face dilemmas. How do we report for work at 5 a.m. or 7 a.m. when everyone else shows up, if the daycare doesn’t open until 8 a.m.? Projects running behind schedule mean longer hours, or weekend schedules. Women in construction must turn down overtime hours because there is simply no one available to watch their children.
Our union leadership recognizes these serious challenges and is taking them head on. For example, programs like the Barrier Reduction Fund, outlined in the Climate Equitable Jobs Act are one piece of a larger puzzle that we can use to address child care inequities for working women.
A resolution adopted at our recent Illinois AFL-CIO convention this summer calls for a unified campaign to significantly increase women’s recruitment and retention in the building trades within five years. We will fight hard for increased funding and smart legislation at all levels of government to directly address these gender diversity challenges. We need better training programs, more visible outreach, and strong partnerships with allies who share our goals of closing the gender gap by ensuring good, union jobs for women in the building trades.
We took an important step forward in May with our first Tradeswomen Take Over Springfield advocacy day at the State Capitol, bringing teams on the frontlines to meet with legislators and make the case in person for the investments needed to open more doors to women and minorities.
At this critical time for our country and labor movement, we encourage you to visit the IL AFL-CIO website to find a Labor Day celebration parade or event near you: https://www. ilafl-cio.org/events/2024/9/2/laborday2024/. Ask the women in your lives how we can help them find the opportunities that have been elusive for too long. We succeed when we all can work together, to put people to work.
Pat Devaney is secretary-treasurer of the Illinois AFL-CIO, and Hannah Hill is a commercial painter and treasurer of Local Union 90, Painters District Council 58.
USDA forecasts record corn and soybean yields
By RHIANNON BRANCH FarmWeek
Record high corn and soybean yield estimates headlined the USDA’s August crop production report.
The agency forecasted a national average corn yield of 183.1 bushels per acre (bpa), up 5.8 from 2023, and a national average soybean yield of 53.2 bpa, up 2.6 bushels from last season.
The state average yield estimates for Illinois are also a record high at 225 bpa for corn and 66 bpa for soybeans.
“Upon initial observation, of course, the market looked a little bit spooked by the fact that you had the corn yield come in at 183. That’s a pretty good-sized yield,” Matt Bennett with AgMarket.net told FarmWeek. “But then you look, and they lowered planted and harvested acres.”
Early data from the Farm Service Agency prompted acreage adjustments, unusual for the August report. USDA now pegs corn planted area at 90.7 million acres, down from 91.5 million in July, and harvested area at 82.7 million acres, down from 83.4 million last month.
The acreage adjustments show USDA understands concerns for the crop in some growing areas, Bennett noted.
“That corridor in southeast South Dakota, southern Minnesota and northwest Iowa certainly is going to have some challenges on stuff that got planted. You’re going to lose some harvested percentage just simply due to a lot of flooding and ponding issues,” he said.
The acreage adjustment actually lowered ending corn stocks from last month to 2.07 billion bushels. U.S. corn production is now seen at 15.1 billion bushels, down 1% from last year.
“So, a bit of a surprise that overall production goes down somewhat with that great big yield on corn.”
It was a different story for soybeans, however, with production
now pegged at a record 4.59 billion bushels, up 10%. Soybean planted area is seen at 87.1 million acres, up from 86.1 million in July with harvested area estimated at 86.3 million acres, up from 85.3 million last month.
“Ending stocks for 2024-2025 came in at 560 million bushels, so that’s a big difference and looks plenty rich,” Bennett said. “It’s a bit of a head scratcher that the USDA has so much export demand built in because we have some of the smallest new-crop bookings that we’ve had in many years. So, we’ve certainly got to hope that the USDA sees something that we’re not currently seeing.”
Immediately following the report on Aug. 12, the corn market was lower then jumped a few cents higher while soybeans settled 20-plus cents lower, hurt by the big carryout number.
“So basically, the perception here is that maybe this situation in corn isn’t as bad as everyone thought even with this massive yield, because acreage has been reduced and demand is so strong,” Bennett said.
It is important to note that upcoming crop tours and in-field data collection by USDA will provide a more accurate picture of crop conditions and some combines will even be rolling by the time the next crop production report comes out.
“So, as we move towards September, we’ve got to understand that if you get a better handle on the crop, many times a big crop continues to get bigger,” the analyst added. “And if that’s the case, then they can certainly provide some pressure on the market in a situation where these markets have already obviously been quite depressed.”
