Highland Graphic Designer’s Nature

Photo Book on Pre-sale now after being Awarded Local Art-based Grant through Highland Community Foundation

Highland resident and alumni Alex Ross has had curiosity for nature since he was a kid. With a hard drive full of photos, the graphic designer imagined assembling a project where he could share a hidden gem amidst the congested south suburbs in NWI.

Just a few blocks from his neighborhood, where his family has resided for generations, the Highland Rookery (or Cline Avenue Marsh) is easily accessible and offers plenty of natural beauty to see through the year. Over the last few years Alex has been exploring the hobbies of photography and bird watching while documenting what is present as the seasons change.

After applying in January 2022 for the Highland Community Foundation’s “Highland has Art” grant, an open art grant focused on the town, Alex received word in March that they would financially support a portion of the project. With 13 plus years graphic design experience with his former employer mixdesign inc, he is more than familiar with layout, copywriting, editing and preparing files for print. While taking on all aspects of the book’s creation to save thousands on publishing costs, the goal of releasing the book in time for the holidays was quite ambitious.

After the task of narrowing down 50,000+ to under 300 images, the photo-focused book started quickly coming together. Instead of sorting birds and animals scientifically, the book will guide you through a calendar year, documenting what visits and stays at the Highland Rookery. “Some days I see nothing

and just get a nice walk in.” Alex said. “Other days I have to convince myself to leave because there is so much to take in. This describes the hobby of birding or birdwatching in a nutshell. An opportunity can present itself any minute.”

The book takes you through a calendar year, offering insight to those interested in the hobby of birding an idea of what you might see through different months in our area. The 160+ page, 11” x 8.5” hard cover book will include 200+ photos, 100+ unique species of birds, as well as butterflies, bugs, and other animals. The book’s images will be accompanied with descriptions that will touch on facts or habits of the birds or animals, or detail the experience behind capturing the moment.

The book is currently in its pre-sale phase as the final details are squared away before the book goes to print. If you would like to meet the author and pre-order your book for $45 in person, Alex will have a table at the Highland Fire Dept. Openhouse on Saturday October 8th from 11am-3pm on Highway Avenue in Downtown Highland. To pre-order your copy online (before Oct 20th deadline), visit Facebook.com/HighlandRookeryBook and see the recent post with preorder details. If you have questions for the author, feel free to reach out to alexross84@yahoo.com. The book will be available for sale in person for $50 at the Promise You Art House after the official release event there on Kennedy Ave in Downtown Highland in December. Keep an eye out for the official release event date and details.

Real Estate Questions & Answers

CATHY & JIM HIGGINS

Question: In what ways does inflation affect home prices?

Answer: Inflation means that the value of cash is being reduced over time, thus it takes more dollars to buy a loaf of bread -- or a house.

In practical terms, homeowners can beat inflation with a fixed-rate mortgage. While the interest rate is set, inflation over time means that each month you’re paying with less-valuable dollars while the cash value of your home rises. If the cash value of your home rises faster than the rate of inflation, they you’ve gaining additional spending power and that’s both one measure of real wealth and often a very good reason to be a long-term real estate owner.

Question: I have a neighbor with a dog that howls through the night. What would you suggest I do to remedy this situation?

Answer: Most communities require appropriate pet supervision, so the proper

step is to have someone contact the owners. The local humane society, pound or health department can all provide information. Ask if your name will be kept confidential; that’s a common policy in many communities.

When you speak with local officials ask them to do as little as possible. You do not want someone’s pet removed, you only want better supervision from the owner. It may well be that in this case the owner does not hear the dog and is literally unaware of the problem since it only occurs at night.

What should Alzheimer’s caregivers know?

SUBMITTED BY PATRICK ZAMKIN

If you have a family member who has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, or is starting to show symptoms, you will face some real challenges. Navigating the Alzheimer’s experience involves a long journey, and there’s no easy answer for how you can cope with your emotions. But you can at least address some of the financial issues involved to help give yourself a greater sense of control.

Here are some moves to consider:

• Plan for care costs and identify insurance coverage. The list of Alzheimer’s-related medical expenses is long and includes ongoing medical treatment, medical equipment, home safety modifications, prescription drugs and personal care supplies. As a caregiver, you’ll want to know the extent of your loved one’s health insurance: Medicare, supplemental policies, veteran’s benefits if applicable, and so on. One big question is how much coverage they might have for adult day care services, in-home care services and full-time residential care services, and other longterm care options. Long-term care is one of the largest health care costs not covered by Medicare, so you’ll want to determine if your loved one has a long-term care policy or another insurance policy with a long-term care rider.

• Identify assets and debts. You’ll need to know your family member’s financial position, both what they own — bank accounts, investments, property, etc. — and what they owe, such as credit card debt, a mortgage, lines of credit, and so on. This knowledge will be essential if you’re granted power of attorney to take over your loved one’s finances.

• Look for tax breaks available to caregivers. If you’re a caregiver, you may have to pay for some care costs out of pocket. Consequently, you could receive some tax credits and deductions. These benefits vary

by state, so you’ll want to consult with your tax advisor to determine your eligibility.

• Ensure necessary legal documents are in place. As a caregiver, you may need to ensure some legal documents are in place, such as a durable power of attorney for finances, which lets you make financial decisions for your loved one with Alzheimer’s, and a durable power of attorney for health care, which lets you make health care and medical decisions on their behalf. It’s important to have these and other necessary documents drawn up before someone is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s or when they’re just starting to exhibit the earliest signs of the disease, so they can understand what documents they are signing. If you wait until they no longer have this cognitive ability, things will get much more challenging. You could apply to become a conservator, which grants decision-making abilities similar to a power of attorney, but the conservatorship process takes time and could involve court procedures. To avoid this potential difficulty, work with your tax and legal professionals to ensure all the relevant legal documents are in-force and updated.

Finally, you don’t have to go it alone. To help deal with the emotional challenges of caregiving, you can find local Alzheimer’s support groups that can offer practical suggestions for coping. As for the financial issues, consider working with a financial professional who can look at your family’s overall situation and recommend appropriate actions.

A diagnosis of Alzheimer’s will change the lives of everyone in your family. But as a caregiver, you can help ease the burden.

Free Learning Opportunities Available and Volunteers

Needed for the SSC Literacy Tutoring Program

South Suburban College (SSC) is seeking participants for the Adult Volunteer Literacy Tutoring Program. The program is structured to train volunteers to become one-on-one tutors for adults in need of basic literacy skills. Instruction in basic literacy includes the development of phonetic reading skills, whole language experience, combined with effective communication skills. Residents are welcome to volunteer as tutors and encourage others to take advantage of this free professional development opportunity.

Once certified, SSC’s volunteer literacy tutors visit adult learners at locations in or near their neighborhoods. Tutoring is flexibly scheduled based on the availability of tutors, learners, and tutoring sites. The following locations have been established as tutoring sites: Acorn Public Library, Oak Forest; Glenwood-Lynwood Library; Harvey Public Library; Phoenix Public Library; Calumet City Public Library; Grande Prairie Library, Hazel Crest; Homewood Public Library; South Holland Public Library; South Suburban College Library, Main Campus; South Suburban College Oak Forest Center Library, Oak Forest; Lansing Public Library; Dolton Public Library; Riverdale Public Library; Blue Island Public Library; Dixmoor Public Library; Tinley Park Public Library; Markham Public Library and Midlothian Public Library.

Illiteracy can be debilitating in many ways for adults who never received the proper instruction. Adults who are unable to read experience difficulty

completing many daily activities that others may take for granted, along with a disadvantage in today’s competitive job market.

SSC’s Office of Adult Education administers the Adult Volunteer Literacy (AVL) Tutoring Program in addition to High School Equivalency (HSE), English as a Second Language (ESL), and Adult Basic Education (ABE). These opportunities are made possible by a grant awarded by the Illinois State Library (ISL), a division of the Office of the Secretary of State, using state funds designated for literacy.

Tutor training will take place at the South Suburban College Main Campus, located at 15800 South State Street, South Holland, Illinois on Tuesdays and Thursdays from October 4 through October 20, 2022 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Training will also take place at the South Suburban College Oak Forest Center, located at 16333 South Kilbourn Avenue, Oak Forest, Illinois on Tuesdays and Thursdays from November 1 through November 17, 2022 from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. This 12-hour program culminates with literacy training certification. Tutors will continue to receive free professional development services throughout this program. Successful tutors are also eligible for letters of support or recommendation for jobs, scholarships, educational opportunities, and more. For additional information, or to register, please contact David Stephens, Adult Literacy Grants Manager, at (708) 596-2000, ext. 2558, or email DStephens@ssc.edu

Here’s a litmus test for your heart: What do you get angry about?

What I, and you, choose to get angry about speaks volumes about what we truly care about, what we love.

Emotional energy is precious, and when we choose to spend it getting angry, we’re subconsciously declaring where our priorities lie.

A nasty traffic encounter, an embarrassing conversation, a technology malfunction, [insert your own personal kryptonite here] — all have the potential to derail our day, or they can fall like water off a duck’s back. The choice is up to us — and it’s based in our hearts.

Like so many sins, sinful anger is actually a distortion of a God-ordained response to injustice and wrongdoing. Ephesians 4:26 says simply, “Be angry and do not sin.” This means that there is a right way to be angry.

Which brings us to the litmus test. What does our anger actually tell us about ourselves? If your spouse didn’t do the dishes and that angers you, is your anger really about the dishes? Or do you feel entitled in your relationship? Are you selfishly hoarding your time and expecting your spouse to make the sacrifices? So many of our anger outbursts have root issues like these!

Here’s a simple but profound takeaway: If you love rightly, you’ll be angry rightly.

When you truly love your neighbor — your kids, your spouse, your boss, the guy in the car who just cut you off, the barista who got your order wrong — more than yourself, you will find yourself being less angry. In fact, instead of being angry AT them, you can start to become angry FOR them, advocating on their behalf and fighting for God’s justice in the world.

Your anger may be powerful, but being equipped with the love of Jesus Christ is even more powerful. Where is your heart today?

CALLING ALL SFDS GRADS CIRCA 1960: In 1960, a Chicago Catholic High School (St Francis de Sales High School newly coed ) graduated 75 students. In the ensuing years, there were 5, 10, 20, 25 and 50 year (actually 51 year) reunions. By now, the 75 graduates have dwindled to less than 25. I am the custodian of the Class archives since my colleague and Class President Wally Engel died a few years ago. Wally knew he wouldn’t last long so he bequeathed to me the Class memorabilia which I gladly accepted. There are just a few of us left to get together so I’m throwing it out there—how many of us would like to get together again? It would have been 62 years this past June. We have all loved and lost many dear to us. Call me on my private home hard line 773-437-5209 and leave a message Even if we don’t have a reunion, I would like to know how my remaining classmates have fared these many years. Those of us still on Planet earth must have been made of very sturdy stock—we are still here! God Bless us all!

Medicare Caused the Extra Work!

WOODROW WILCOX

On September 27, 2022, one of our clients phoned her agent to ask about a medical bill problem that I researched and worked last month. Her agent asked me about it. He told me that she got another bill for the same problem.

I reviewed the file to remember what I had done to help the client. On August 31, 2022, I sent a letter to the chief of the billing department at a local hospital to request that the hospital send certain critical claim information to our client’s Medicare supplement insurance company so that the claim could be paid to the hospital. The insurance company told me that it never received the claim information from Medicare.

It takes some time and work to get this done. I suspect that the second bill to our client was sent automatically before the hospital could send the claim information to our client’s insurance company.

In the almost 20 years that I have helped our senior citizen clients, Medicare’s failure to send claims information to Medicare supplement insurance companies is the biggest problem with the Medicare system. By biggest problem, I mean the one that happens most often.

I don’t know who is claiming that the Medicare communications system is working wonderfully, but that’s just not so. When Medicare fails to send claims information to insurance companies, claims don’t get paid and seniors get hounded to pay bills that their insurance companies would pay if the companies got the claims information

from Medicare. When I wrote my book on Medicare problems, I calculated an estimate of the losses throughout our country based on my experience in this area. I estimated that Medicare’s failure to send claim information to insurance companies and causing seniors to be hounded to pay wrongful bills cost seniors over one billion dollars per year.

I have tried to get political leaders of both major parties interested in fixing this problem. But I have not found any politician who really cares enough about seniors to push to fix this or any of the other problems with Medicare that I have cited many times in the more than 1,000 published articles that I have written.

The fact that my employer pays me to help our senior citizen clients with medical bill problems is clear evidence that the owners, managers, and staff of this insurance agency really care about our senior citizen clients. If your insurance agent or agency does not give this high level of customer service to you, why not switch to our insurance agency?

Note: Woodrow Wilcox is the senior medical bill 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 the Medicare system. Also, Wilcox wrote the book SOLVING MEDICARE PROBLEM$ which is available through book stores and online.

Jesse White Encourages Student Readers to

Secretary of State and State Librarian Jesse White is encouraging students in grades four through 12 to enter the 2023 “Letters About Literature in Illinois” reading and writing competition, which is offered by the Illinois State Library’s Illinois Center for the Book.

“Letters About Literature in Illinois” invites students to read a book of their choice and write a letter to the author about how the work changed their life or view of the world. Students can enter directly on their own or through their locally participating school.

“Every year, thousands of students in Illinois enjoy participating in this inspiring competition,” said White. “Anyone who has read past letters can see how literature inspires and touches the lives of our young people. I encourage all our students to take part in ‘Letters About Literature in Illinois,’ and I hope their

About

participation leads to a lifetime of reading.”

There are three levels of participation: Level 1 for grades 4-6, Level 2 for grades 7-8 and Level 3 for grades 9-12. The deadline for submission is Thursday, Dec. 15, 2022.

One winner will be selected for each level and receive a cash award and a plaque signed by the Secretary of State. Teachers of the winning students will receive a certificate and their school will receive a cash award to purchase books for the library.

Winners are scheduled to be announced toward the end of the 2022-2023 academic year.

For more information about the competition, contact Bonnie Matheis at 217-558-2065 or bmatheis@ilsos.gov. Entry forms, a teacher guide and additional information are available at ilsos.gov/departments/library/center_for_the_ book/.

Assessor’s Office releases new way to view property details and real estate sales

The Assessor’s Office released a new database that shows a greater level of detail for each property located in Cook County. A property owner can visit the Assessor’s website, enter their PIN, or address, and obtain information such as the estimated market value, assessed value, and property characteristics. New noteworthy features include information pertaining to permits, divisions & consolidations, and the Homeowner Improvement Exemption.

Another new feature is the “Neighborhood Sales” function, which provides current real estate information that can be reviewed and printed. This function generates a list of real estate transactions within the neighborhood code of a property within the last 36 months. This information is useful for property owners that are considering filing an appeal or would like to understand the market value of properties in their neighborhood.

Why is it important to understand the current

real estate market in my neighborhood?

Assessments, under Illinois law, should fairly reflect market values. The Assessor’s Office estimates market values by using a mass appraisal model that analyzes sales trends. If a property owner believes their property is worth less than the Assessor’s Office’s estimate of its value, the owner is entitled to file an appeal. Appeals can be filed once a year during a specific timeframe which can be found on the Assessment and Appeals Calendar.

What is the difference between market value and assessed value?

The estimated market value is what the Assessor’s Office believes a property is worth in the current real estate market. The assessed value is the amount used to calculate your property taxes. For residential property, this is usually 10% of the estimated market value. For commercial property, this is typically 25% of estimated market value.

Department Awards Nearly $1 Bil.to 56 States and Territories to Provide Students with Safer and Healthier Learning Environs.

The U.S. Department of Education announced awards totaling nearly $1 billion through the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (BSCA). The Stronger Connections grants will help schools provide all students with safe and supportive learning opportunities and environments that are critical for their success.

Through the BSCA, and under the leadership of President Biden, Congress provided $1 billion in Title IV, Part A formula funding to state educational agencies (SEAs) to develop state grant programs to provide students with safer and healthier learning environments.

Earlier today, Secretary Cardona informed chief state school officers of their allocations under the BSCA Stronger Connections grant program. SEAs must award these funds competitively to high-need local educational agencies (LEAs), as determined by the state, to fund activities allowable under section 4108 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA).

“We have years of evidence that demonstrate the value of building safe and supportive schools. These efforts improve academic achievement, promote emotional well-being, reduce disciplinary actions, and increase positive behaviors,” said U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona. “Safe and supportive schools help our children and youth overcome trauma and provide a strong foundation of emotional and physical safety. These grants will provide real benefits to real students in real schools.”

Safe and supportive schools are proven by decades of rigorous research to be most effective in supporting academic success as well as meeting the social, emotional, physical, and mental health needs of students. These funds can also be used to support school and community partnerships that pursue multifaceted solutions to more effectively prevent and respond to acts of bullying, violence, and hate that impact members of our school communities at both individual and systemic levels.

As part of the Department’s announcement, Secretary Cardona sent chief state school officers a Dear Colleague Letter outlining three principles that SEAs are strongly encouraged to consider when designing a competitive grant competition and providing LEAs

with direction for how they use these funds: (1) ; create positive, inclusive, and supportive school environments; and increase access to place-based interventions and services (2) Engaging students, families, educators, staff, and community organizations in the selection and implementation of strategies and interventions to create safe, inclusive, and supportive learning environments (3) Designing and implementing policies and practices that are responsive to underserved students, protect student rights, and demonstrate respect for student dignity and potential. These policies are consistent with the Administration’s previous position on these issues.

Funds can be used to provide all students with safe and supportive learning opportunities and environments that are critical for their success. For example, funds could support the kind of work underway in Saint Paul Public Schools in Minnesota where they are spending almost $13 million in American Rescue Plan (ARP) funds to support the mental health and wellness of students and staff. This approach includes: hiring 32 additional counselors, social workers, and psychologists; partnering with community organizations to offer mental health support for students; training staff on how to handle trauma; and creating calming spaces for staff and students.

Punching

I recently had a conversation with an old acquaintance who is trying to sell her home in another state. I was shocked when she told me that her agent had cancelled the listing agreement via email and he wouldn’t take her calls. When I delved a little further, I was no longer shocked; I found myself mentally applauding the other agent. My friend said, “I am under so much stress and that little #%(^)! didn’t seem to understand that having the house shown was just too much for me. I told him &#(!)# and @#*%)) and he hung the phone up on me! Then he sent me an email canceling the listing! Can you believe it? What kind of a #*&^(!)) would cancel a listing over a conversation? It wasn’t personal. He should have understood how stressed I am and dealt with it. Dealing with me is part of his job.”

Buying or selling a home is one of the most stressful life events we deal with. Emotions run high and it’s not always easy to keep our cool. I have been in this business for 41 years, as a result I tend to be a little more understanding and knowledgeable when working with buyers or sellers that are having a tough time. Every once in a while,

a client decides that taking their frustration out on me is acceptable. I’m not talking about getting frustrated or upset over something within my control (hey, if you feel I’m not doing my job you have every right to respectfully say something) ---I’m talking about when a buyer or seller is so stressed about moving, so overwhelmed with all there is to do they just take it all out on me or my staff. There isn’t much I won’t put up with. Being a Realtor means empathizing with my clients and respecting their feelings. But I don’t tolerate abuse, nor should any real estate professional. Plain and simple - - I will do everything in my power to help you deal with the stress that buying or selling a home brings in today’s market but… “I am your Realtor, not your punching bag”.

KEATON

On the 26th of September Laura Diane Keaton lost her battle with cancer. She was the child of Larry V. and Luanne C. Horvath. She was the amazing mother of Brandon (Gina) Keaton and step-mother of Daniel Keaton. Dearest sister of Cindy (Lee) Milazzo and Nicole Horvath, and the coolest aunt of multiple nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her loving husband Robbie Gene Keaton. Laura lived life to the fullest, this world will greatly miss her presence. Even though she lost her battle with cancer she didn’t go out without a fight. She made the people she touched richer by just knowing her and lit up the room with her smile and laugh. Not only was she the best mom she could be to her son, but shared that love with all of his friends as well who would call her their second mom. She was active in sports and was competitive in whatever she entered into. Laura worked for the Center Township Assessor’s office and took pride in her work. She loved camping, being with family, and vacationing on the beach in NC (That was her happy place). She will be deeply missed by all who shared her life, especially Donald Johnson, her ride or die. A celebration of her life will be held Friday, September 30th, 2022 from 1 pm - 9 pm at Monastery Club House 9800 W. 129th St. Cedar Lake, IN. In lieu of flowers, she would love donations to the American Cancer Society or Humane Society IN.
