Your employer may also offer disability insurance as a benefit. Some employers’ disability policies are fairly limited, covering only short periods of time, so you may want to consider a private policy.
SUBMITTED BY PATRICK ZAMKIN
it’s a good idea to pay close attention to all your benefits. Some of the offerings may have changed from last year — and you might have experienced changes in your own life, too, which might lead you to look for something different from your existing benefits package.
ERRORS
You may want to start with your health insurance. If you’re satisfied with your coverage, and it’s essentially the same as it’s been, you may well want to stick with what you have. However, many employers are increasingly offering high-deductible health plans, which, as the name suggests, could entail more out-of-pocket costs for you. But high-deductible plans may also offer something of benefit: the ability to contribute to a health savings account (HSA). Your HSA contributions are made with pre-tax dollars, so they can reduce your taxable income for the year. Also, your earnings grow tax-free, and your withdrawals are taxfree, provided the money is used for qualified medical expenses. (Withdrawals taken before age 65 that aren’t used for qualified medical expenses are taxable and subject to a 20% penalty; once you reach 65, the penalty no longer applies, although withdrawals are still taxable as income if not used for a qualified expense.)Your next benefit to consider: Life insurance. Your employer may offer a group life insurance plan, but you’ll want to evaluate whether it’s sufficient for your needs, especially if you’ve experienced

with the little boy, and they have a girl too. I’m very nervous. DAY 25: The family that bought me came over with a mean man who told them all the things that are wrong with me…the nerve!!! DAY 29: My family has agreed to do the major repairs. I’m going to miss them. DAY 60: My family has moved out. A big truck arrived and they loaded all of their things in the truck and drove away. She stood on my porch for a few minutes and cried. She touched my brick, tenderly. I’ll miss her…I’m sad. DAY 65: The new family came for something called a “walkthrough”, and they brought both of the children…they were so excited to see me… and they loved the swing set that my current owners put in the yard for their kids when they were young. They talked about their plans for me. I really tried not to like them, but they’re going to repaint me, top-tobottom. They’re going to bring in a brand new kitchen and update both bathrooms. I think we’re going to get along just fine.

Every home has a story to tell. If you have young children and you are selling or buying a home, share this one with them…Enjoy. DAY 1: The Realtor came over today and he brought a camera with him. First they moved some of my furnishings around (it tickled), opened my drapes and took some photos. I smiled my best smile. DAY 3: The pictures came in…I look great. I heard that my owner (sniff, they’re trying to get rid of me) is having a “cleaning crew” come over this weekend. I’m a little nervous. DAY 5: The cleaning crew was here…it hurt a little but I look and smell a lot better. While the cleaning crew was here, a painter came by and touched up a few areas where I wasn’t looking my best. Later in the day a carpet cleaner came and cleaned my carpets. I feel fresh and clean. DAY 8: I’m on the market…I’m on the market!!! There are beautiful photos of me all over the Internet… and there’s a sign stuck in my front yard that says “FOR SALE”. DAY 14: We’ve had lots of strangers showing up. Often when my owners aren’t home. This makes me really nervous. DAY 23: I’m totally exhausted by over 3 weeks of having to look pretty…but I’ve heard a rumor that someone has written an offer on me. I hope it was the couple with the little boy that liked my room with the blue paint. It would be perfect for him. DAY 24: They say I’m sold. It was the family
changes in your personal situation over the past year, such as getting married or adding a new child. There’s no magic formula for how much life insurance you need — you’ll need to consider a variety of factors, such as your income, family size, mortgage and so on — but it may be necessary to supplement your employer’s coverage with a private policy.
Beyond the various insurance policies your employer may offer, you’ll also want to closely look at your 401(k) or similar retirement plan. Typically, you can make changes to your 401(k) throughout the year, but it’s important to make sure your investment selections and contribution amounts are still aligned with your risk tolerance and goals. Also, are you contributing enough to earn your employer’s match, if one is offered? And if you’ve already receiving the match, can you still afford to put in more to your plan if such a move makes sense for you?

Your employee benefits package can be a valuable part of your overall financial strategy. So, as open enrollment season proceeds, take a close look at what you already have, what’s being offered, and what changes you need to make. It will be time wellEdwardspent. Jones, its employees and financial advisors cannot provide tax or legal advice. You should consult your attorney or qualified tax advisor regarding your situation.

Now, imagine you’re that piece of art and God is the masterful painter. We’re all in-progress pieces of art, and we don’t know what the final painting of our lives and ourselves is supposed to look like — and that’s frustrating!
PATRICK L. DAYMOND
C.S. Lewis explores this metaphor in his book, The Problem of Pain. He says: “We are, not metaphorically but in very truth, a Divine work of art, something that God is making, and therefore something with which He will not be satisfied until it has a certain character.”
We don’t know why God spends so much time painting in one difficult area of our lives, be it illness, abuse, addiction, sexuality, or anything else. But he labors over every inch of our lives, slowly working us toward becoming a masterpiece.

He later says, “Over a sketch made idly to amuse a child, an artist may not take much trouble: he may be content to let it go even though it is not exactly as he meant it to be. … One can imagine a sentient picture, after being rubbed and scraped and re-commenced for the tenth time, wishing that it were only a thumb-nail sketch whose making was over in a minute. In the same way, it is natural for us to wish that God had designed for us a less glorious and less arduous destiny; but then we are wishing not for more love but for less.”

AMERICANS HAVE A LOT TO REMEMBER THIS WEEKEND—9/11
I think we all remember where we were that fateful day on September 11, the day the twin towers came down in New York City. After receiving the initial shock, and being glued to the television screen, and after we all realized what was going on- the anger built. I remember going over to the South Shore station in Hegewisch and passing out American flags to the passengers getting off the trains. Many of us were in tears! Some office workers downtown Chicago were let go early because at that time the US authorities didn’t know if other American cities were likewise targeted. A very scary time for us to be sure.
OUR POW/MIA--Thanks to the Lansing Veteran’s Memorial Ceremonial Honor Guard. The honor guard will once again host its annual Vigil on SEPTEMBER 16, 2022 starting at 6 pm and ending at 11 pm. The night “Watch Fire” will take place at ground level in front of the Memorial granite wall at the Lansing Veteran’s Memorial located at the northwest corner of the Lansing Municipal Airport, Glenwood-Lansing Road and Burnham Avenue. During our Nation’s conflicts, starting with the American Revolution; there have been over 633,568 military personnel taken prisoners of war, or deemed missing in action (POW/MIA). Even today the fate of many of those missing or taken prisoner is unknown. Their families continue to wait for word of their loved ones who served our country and did not return. Join the Honor Guard, friends and family, rain or shine, to pay tribute and remember those who never returned. For information call Rich Dominiak (708-862-7731) or John Ulaszek (708-710-5431}.
RISE AND FALL OF THE STEEL MILLS IN SOUTHEAST CHICAGO--Those of us who have lived on Chicago’s SE Side have a recollection of members of our families working in US Steel, Republic, Wisconsin or Chicago Steel and Wire. Tens of thousands worked in “the mills” as we called them. In the recent past, 33 year old Steven Walsh from the East Side began his quest to rediscover the area steel mills by recording his grandfather playing his guitar. Through that, the young Walsh came to know the story of the mills, from his grandfather’s work at Republic Steel and his grandfather’s loss of the job. He put together a documentary about the mills starting with them thriving around World War II to their demise and decline in the 80’s and 90’s and, with them a middle class lifestyle for East Siders, South Chicagoans, Hegewisch, South Deering and related suburbs, including NW Indiana. The young documentarian should have the finished product by the end of the year. He raised $10,000 in a Kickstarter campaign in 2020. The story appeared in the Chicago Sun Times Monday September 5, 2022 under the byline of Michael Loria staff reporter via Report for America. inclusion in Neighbor 2 Neighbor, please call Janice at 708-302-8585 or write to her C/O Coldwell IN 46375, or e-mail her at janice.mintonkutz@cbexchange.com

Speaking at a news conference in Chicago where he was flanked by other state officials and Democratic leaders of the General Assembly, Pritzker said the rebates are intended to help soften the impact of rising inflation and high gasoline prices.

“The expansion of the earned income tax credit is a huge deal for Illinoisans who are emerging in this state and trying to make their way,” said state Rep. Michael Zalewski, D-Riverside, who chaired the House Revenue Committee. “And we expanded it this year. And we are on our way to a fairer tax code through existing law, which is incredibly exciting for the state of Illinois.”

The comptroller only just got enough paper – think about the supply chain issues – in order to be able to issue the checks. And then, of course, you’ve got to make sure you’ve got the reserves of $1.2 billion to send out to people when you’re sending the checks out. So that’s why it takes a little time.”

Here is the critical thing regarding your ambulance bill. The ambulance attendants said that you did not need ambulance service because you were able to walk and step into the ambulance rather than ride a stretcher. Based on that fact, they determined that your ride was not an emergency. And that is how they reported it to Medicare.

With some editing to protect the privacy of our client, here is the letter that I sent to her.
I’m still willing to help you appeal Medicare’s ruling of noncoverage of the ambulance ride. But you must cooperate and work with me to do that. Do you want to appeal, or do you just want to pay the $1,740 bill for the ambulance ride?

Although the Ton Farmhouse no longer exists, the site has become a destination due to the fascinating history of the local abolitionists, mostly Dutch immigrant farmers such as the Ton family, who owned or rented farmland between South Holland and Roseland. They risked everything to aid the Freedom Seekers along their journeys to safety and freedom, usually to northern states and ultimately Canada, where slavery had been abolished.

The University of Illinois Chicago Energy Resources Center will use its grant to provide technical assistance to 20 industrial plants in some of Chicago’s underserved communities. UIC-ERC, in partnership with the city of Chicago, will help facilities find and achieve energy and cost savings, emissions reduction, and waste reduction.“UICis
“The support that the ISTC Technical Assistance Program will provide to manufacturing operations and related industries will go a long way in reducing energy costs, water consumption, air emissions, wastewater generation, and hazardous wastes in Illinois,” said Debra Jacobson, associate director of the Illinois Sustainable Technology Center. “At the same time, this project will benefit underserved neighborhoods by offering technical assistance to facilities that directly impact local environmental justice communities.”

Today, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced over $1 million in pollution prevention, or P2, grants to the University of Illinois System. The University of Illinois Chicago Energy Resources Center will receive $350,000. The University of Illinois UrbanaChampaign Smart Energy Design Assessment Center will receive $349,999 and the university’s Illinois Sustainable Technology Center will receive $349,197. These P2 grants are among 39 national grants made possible by President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law’s historic $100 million program investment. The grants will allow states and Tribes, or in this instance academic institutions, to provide businesses with technical assistance to help them implement P2 practices to prevent or reduce pollution before it is even created, while also reducing business and liability costs.
“Green business programs are an innovative model for driving voluntary education and engagement in P2 best practices,” said Dr. Brian Deal, executive director of the Smart Energy Design Assistance Center. “They make it easier for businesses to assess and reduce their environmental footprint, while also providing recognition and a competitive platform for their achievements. SEDAC is thrilled to help integrate P2 technical assistance with national green business bestThepractices.”University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Illinois Sustainable Technology Center will use its grant to host two training events, create a pollution prevention guidebook, and offer technical assistance to 15 Illinois manufacturing and processing facilities.

excited to engage with the City of Chicago and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to provide technical assistance to manufacturing plants in the City of Chicago, including those areas of the City facing environmental injustice. The technical assistance program will focus efforts on student workforce development, reducing plant energy consumption and source emissions, and increasing plant productivity,” said Patrick Brown, senior research engineer for Energy Resources Center at University of Illinois Chicago.“The City of Chicago congratulates the UIC Energy Resources Center for this major award from the USEPA dedicated to offering technical guidance to the industrial sector to transition to renewable
energy and energy efficiency solutions. This critical support will result in more energy efficient operations as well as reduced pollution and better air quality for our communities. We are thrilled to serve as collaborators in this effort,” said Angela Tovar, chief sustainability officer for the city of Chicago.

Cook County Farm Crawl,
The Jan and Aagie Ton Farm, a recognized Underground Railroad (UGRR) “safe house,” led off a Channel 9/WGN-TV news segment this week on the African American Heritage Water Trail. The Ton Farm was located on the Little Calumet River near Riverdale, making it an important site on this waterway that encompasses one hundred and eighty years of African American history.Since the Ton Farm was authenticated as an official UGRR station in 2019 by the National Park Service, the Little Calumet River Underground Railroad Project has conducted tours and presentations to raise awareness of the area and its role in the nation’s freedom movement. Prior to the U.S. Civil War and Emancipation, historians estimate thousands of escaped slaves, referred to as Freedom Seekers, found their way to Chicago and points north by journeying through this region. They were assisted by local white settlers sympathetic to the liberation cause.
“Reducing pollution at the source, before it ever even enters the waste stream, is the best and most cost-effective way to protect the environment,” said EPA Regional Administrator Debra Shore. “Thanks to these grants, and increased funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, EPA is working with organizations like the University of Illinois System to empower communities and businesses to save money and safeguard precious natural resources.”

Harris brings equity to his childhood street
State Senator Napoleon Harris III is proud to announce the rehabilitation of Wood Street in the South Suburbs through the state’s multi-year infrastructure plan.
About Cook County Farm Bureau®: www.cookcfb.org
There will be a court date in Cook County on my request to change my name from ALISHA ANTOINETTE BOWENS to the new name of ALISHA ANTOINETTE JONES. The court date will be September 19, 2022 at 9:00am at 16501 S. Kedzie, Markham, IL 60455, in Courtroom 0208, in Cook County. Case number 22M6005588
“It is a bittersweet feeling to be one of the reasons why a street I grew up on is going to be restored,” said Harris (D-Harvey). “I lived right on Wood Street, and I am proud to see that our infrastructure plan is rebuilding communities and creating an equitable transportation system for all.”
The $34.6 billion will go to highway reconstruction and preservation, bridge improvements, strategic expansion, system support such as engineering and land acquisition, and safety and system modernizations. Over six years, the funding will be dispersed to improve more than 2,500 miles of roads and nearly 10 million square feet of bridges.
“Whether it’s paving our streets, improving lighting, building sidewalks or just improving road safety, our multi-year infrastructure plan helps our communities move forward while building an equitable transportation system for all,” said Harris. “All of our streets are a crucial link in our neighborhood, especially Wood Street, which is why we are enhancing its safety for all of our families in Harvey, Dixmoor, Riverdale and surrounding communities.”
A public-private partnership model, the climatic center will be open to businesses and researchers looking to expedite adoption of new EV technologies, according to the governor’s office.
State announces first REV Act tax credit to Decatur manufacturer in The Shopper!
“Thanks to the REV Act, Illinois beat out international competition to bring this deal home,” Pritzker said. “That means new jobs and jobs that would have gone overseas are staying rightT/CCI’shere.”transition will create 50 new jobs, while 103 existing jobs are expected to be retained.
“Together we are establishing a new model for Illinois that sets the stage for how education, research and industry work together to cohesively advance us faster, invest in our people and grow our economy,” Richland Community College President Cris Valdez said. “This state-of-theart facility will provide world class training in electrification, a registered apprenticeship program, along with immersive industry partnerships and testing available to the electric vehiclePritzkerindustry.”saidthe community college partnership is one he would like to emulate in communities across the state, pointing to a partnership between the EV manufacturer Rivian and Heartland Community College in Normal.

Why is it that you think you have a claim against the seller, broker or appraiser? Did they put a fake door in the room to create the illusion of a closet? Were you prohibited from seeing the room? Banned from having a buyer broker? Prohibited from getting an independent home inspector of your choice? Do you not have any responsibility as a buyer?

A room does need a closet to be a bedroom. Instead, what’s generally required is a minimum square footage, a minimum height and a working window to provide natural light and ventilation. Typically the window sill for a bedroom in a new structure must be no more than 44 inches above the floor
The REV Act passed two months after the Climate and Equitable Jobs Act which incentivizes EV adoption, driving Pritzker’s vision to make Illinois “the best place in North America to drive and manufacture an electric vehicle.”
Richland and T/CCI are also working in partnership with the University of Illinois Grainger College of Engineering and Northern Illinois University on a training academy that will focus on EV advanced engineering, software technology and accredited apprenticeship programs.

T/CCI’s Decatur plant currently manufactures compressors for gasoline-powered cars. The company plans to retool the Decatur facility to produce compressors for EVs with an estimated $20 million investment. Currently, T/CCI makes EV compressors, a part which cools batteries and powers car air conditioning systems, in China and India.

The state on Tuesday announced the award of the first electric vehicle manufacturing-targeted tax incentives made possible by a law signed by Gov. JB Pritzker last year.
The governor’s office tied the Tuesday announcement to a previously announced plan to provide $15.3 million in state infrastructure funding to Richland Community College and $6 million to the city of Decatur to create an “EV cluster” that includes a training, research and innovation facility in partnership with T/CCI.
The REV Act’s incentives are targeted to the manufacturers of EVs and their parts, such as compressors. The companies receiving the breaks can receive a state income tax credit of 75 percent or 100 percent of payroll taxes withheld from each new employee and 25 percent or 50 percent for current employees. The law also provides a 10 percent credit for training expenses.
Can we go after the seller, the seller’s agent, or the appraiser for misrepresentation? If we decide to sell, we’d probably have to market it as a one-bedroom because a savvy buyer and/ or his agent may realize that this is actually a one-bedroom. Should we add a closet? We’d have to eat the costs, which is not fair since we paid the asking price based on the fact that it was a two-bedroom property?
expand or locate a new venture, they should know you won’t find a harder working more qualified workforce,” Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity director Sylvia Garcia said at a news conference Tuesday.
Although some within the legal/industrial complex may disagree, the experience here is that most buyers and sellers, landlords and tenants act fairly and want to be treated fairly. When you have a situation which seems so outsized that it seemingly requires an instant trip to the Supreme Court, your first step should be to get more information, to better understand the problem. Most likely you’ll save a lot of legal fees. And personal anguish.
so that residents have an emergency exit. For specifics, contact your local building inspector.
Pritzker and local lawmakers said the manufacturing of EV parts domestically is necessary to work around supply chain issues.
Question: I recently purchased a property that was sold as a two-bedroom home. Later I discovered that it’s actually a one-bedroom, as the largest room is just that -- a “room” and not a “bedroom” because it does not have a closet.
“We know that when companies are looking where to locate, talent is what’s most important and we want to make sure that when electric vehicle companies are looking to Illinois to either

Answer: Have you ever been in an historic home? Often they have bedrooms with no closets. Instead, each room has a tall piece of furniture called an armoire where residents can hang their clothes. Today, we often use armoires as combination dressers and TV centers.
The infrastructure money would go toward a climatic simulation center on T/CCI’s Decatur campus which will allow the testing of new EVrelated technologies in extreme environments.
“T/CCI is recognized in the industry as a leader in compressor technology, already having developed a largest range of EV compressors in the market,” Richard Demirjian, TCCI’s president, said in a news release. “We’re excited to use our expertise in innovation and component manufacturing to advance Illinois’ position and create a successful partnership that drives longlasting economic growth.”
The incentives come from the Reimagining Electric Vehicles Act, which passed nearly unanimously and became law in November, and will provide an estimated $2.2 million in value to T/CCI Manufacturing in Decatur.
