Romeoville creates incentive Recycled rides to help program to invest in property lucky resident By laura katauskas Bugle Staff

sweditor@buglenewspapers.com @RomeovilleBugle

The village of Romeoville is offering a program to entice both residents and small businesses to invest in their own property, with added bonuses for veterans and seniors. While the village is still working out the details, the Romeoville Reinvestment Program intends to provide three types of investment opportunities for Romeoville residents and businesses: homebased business incentives, veteran’s business incentives and residential home improvement incentives. Additional incentives for seniors and veterans will also be included. “There is so much potential in our community for entrepreneurism and this allows people to take that next step,” said Mayor John Noak. “We are so fortunate to have a wealth of veterans in this community and this will allow them to make a new life for themselves. Also, anytime there is reinvestment in the community it enhances the quality of life for all.” The first prong of the program is geared toward home-based business and is aimed at assisting owners to take the business out of the home. “This would make it a more viable business, help create jobs and enhance the overall economy,” said village manager Steve Gulden. A preliminary look at eligibility would require an owner to be

While the village is still working out the details, the Romeoville Reinvestment Program intends to provide three types of investment opportunities for Romeoville residents and businesses: home-based business incentives, veteran’s business incentives and residential home improvement incentives. Additional incentives for seniors and veterans will also be included.

in business at least for one year; be part of the village’s incubator program for education; have a business plan and reside in Romeoville. Potential incentives would include waiving permits and business license fees up to $7,500. The second area would provide opportunities for veterans to build a business. Considering some veterans have a hard time when coming back, the incentives are meant to give a head start. To be eligible, a veteran must have served in the U.S. Armed Forces for one year and have an honorable discharge. The program will set out to help veterans complete a business plan and the proper tools to succeed. The incentive is increased up to $10,000 to cover start-up fees. The third area would involve residential investment. “This is designed to create more home value especially in the older sections like Hampton Park and

to encourage viable sustainable neighborhoods,” said Gulden. “It would help to improve appearance, increase property value and reduce costs to homeowners to build some of these improvements.” The program would be open to those owner-occupied, singlefamily homes built prior to 1980. Improvements must be compatible with existing the neighborhood and cannot be part of an insurance claim. Some improvements would include room additions; driveway upgrades (priority to those with gravel driveways); siding, window and door replacements; and porches. Potential incentives include a 100 percent tax rebate on village portion; $500 for windows, siding, doors and driveways; and 50 percent of tax rebate on village portion for porches. Permit fees would be waived and possible lower contractor rates would be obtained by coordination with village contacts. The same program will be offered to seniors and veterans with an increased incentive rate with the 100 percent of tax rebate; but more for replacements up to $750 and 60 percent of tax rebate of village portion for porches. “It is a program that does three things. It gives seniors and opportunity to help increase their home value. It helps veterans start up a business and gives them the tools to success and allows certain incentives for residents to improve their house to make the neighborhood sustainable for a long time,” said Gulden. The program is expected to begin in April 2016.

Book written by Brooks teacher ‘prompts meaningful conversations’ Sally Green isn’t quite certain what genre her first published book falls into. “It’s not typical or entertaining in a classic sense. It will certainly make you think,” the Brooks Middle School language arts teacher said. “It’s pretty whimsical. Perhaps inspirational. It’s a mix.” Green readily admits she has always wanted to write a book. But she mostly spent her time writing poems before the idea to write “This Is My Book…A New Way to Look at Old Things” popped into her head. “Ray Bradbury is famous for saying ideas jump up and bite you, and you have to grab them before they get away,” she said. “That’s how this was.” It all started during Spring Break

in 2008. Green’s mother passed away several months earlier in 2008. “It was like a tidal wave hit me. It was one of those days. I had a blank journal in front of me and nothing on the calendar. I sat down and just started writing,” she recalled. “The first and second chapters came out of me in a very short time. The Universe came into complete clarity.” That first chapter deals with death in a unique way. “In the midst of pain, there is an intense focus on what you need to learn,” the book reads. “You must grasp the lesson with both hands when it passes by. You must study it while your heart is wide open. If no one ever died, we would not experience these moments, so one

children. “Parenting requires every waking moment, and lots of help from other people,” the book

says. “In the course of all of this parenting activity, stuff (your shortcomings) comes up. All kinds of stuff. When you see your stuff clearly reflected back to you in the actions of your children…there is an aha! If you are lucky, you will know it is important to take note, understand the urgency, and begin to work on your stuff. You see, your stuff becomes theirs.” Including chapters 3 (love) and 4 (faith), the preface and the epilogue, the book, is 112 pages long. “The good news is it only takes 10 minutes to read it,” Green said. “But it prompts some meaningful conversations and it’s different every time you read it.” Green already has another book in mind. She says “it’s halfway written” and adds it will involve “the same structure.” “This is My Book” is available at Anderson Book Shops in Naperville and Downers Grove and in the bookstores of the two college campuses where her children attend-- the University of Iowa and University of Missouri at Columbia. “I really haven’t aggressively marketed it,” she said, adding she hopes to be able to find time to do so in the near future.

Immigrant families face uncertain futures Illinois congressman vows to continue fighting for immigration reform By laura katauskas Bugle staff

sweditor@buglenewspapers.com @BugleNewspapers

On what was almost the year anniversary of executive actions that promised to change the fate of immigrant families across the country, Congressman Bill Foster meet with one local family that remains in limbo, while implementation of that action remains blocked in federal courts. Inez and Pedro Flores and their children, Abigail, Arizbel and Alexander go about their lives just as most families. Work, school and a myriad of other activities make up their days, and most nights they come home together for a family dinner. But in the back of their minds, they know that a knock on the door could change their lives forever. “It’s not something we want to think about,” Inez Flores said. Inez is an American citizen; her husband, Pedro, is not. Although he has been living and working in the U.S. since 1990, fear of deportation is a constant threat. A construction worker by trade, the Bolingbrook father said he works to support his family on a wage that is not equal to his American counterparts. Despite a strong work ethic and dedication to the job, Pedro has been unable to advance – a fate most undocumented immigrants face – limiting his income and his success. When President Obama issued executive actions in November 2014 that initiated the Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents and expanding the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, Foster celebrated with immigrant families from Bolingbrook and surrounding areas. On Dec. 4, Foster came back to Bolingbrook to attend one of the Flores family’s dinners and discuss why implementation of those actions continues to stall. Officials in Texas and 25 other

Congressman Bill Foster sits down for dinner at the Bolingbrook home of the Flores family, one of millions of U.S. families waiting to learn the fate of President Obama’s 2014 executive actions on immigration.

“These actions would prevent millions of families from being torn apart, provide visas for highly skilled workers and give many immigrants relief from the fear of deportation. ”

- Congressman Bill Foster

states have sought to stop the deferred action programs, citing that the president breached his executive privileges and caused negative economic effects to states. According to reports, approximately 4.9 million eligible undocumented immigrants would receive temporary threeyear permits to stay in the U.S. if DAPA and DACA were in effect. As dishes were passed around the Flores family’s dinner table, 16-year-old Abigail discussed her dream of pursuing architecture, and Arizbel, 12, shared her interest in cosmetology. Pedro and Inez hope to see that happen, together. One major question hangs over the family. If Pedro were sent back

to Mexico, would Inez and the family follow him? With three children and the dream of them one dat attending college, staying in America would be the logical choice but it has an emotional cost. How could they continue without being the family unit they now know? These are the questions that the Flores family doesn’t want to think about, but could become reality if immigration reform continues to be pushed to the wayside. “It’s tough,” said Foster. “The only assurance I can give is that I will keep fighting.”

The Illinois Democrat added that the crises facing the Flores family shouldn’t happen in the U.S. “The conversations with the Flores family is just like any other American family except for a legal knife that is suspended over one of them, and it’s the head of the household and that means they can be separated and forced into so many unfavorable scenarios,” he said. “What will they do?” The Cities United For Immigration Action organization represents state and local elected officials urging the implementation of immigration reform.

The organization has filed a friend-of-the-court brief to the Supreme Court, calling for the review of the Texas vs. United States lawsuit that has blocked Obama’s Nov. 20, 2014, deferred actions programs. Foster explained that DAPA and the expansion of DACA would provide temporary relief for families stuck in, what he called a “broken immigration system.” “These actions would prevent millions of families from being torn apart, provide visas for highly skilled workers and give many immigrants relief from the fear of deportation,” Foster said.

While we enjoy the sights, sounds and smells of this special holiday time, we know that seemingly all too soon, another year is coming to an end. Here are By Sue Becker Guest Columnist some ideas to help you end the year in an organized way, and get the New Year off to a great start: Organize your decorations Consider letting go of holiday decorations you don’t use this year. You might want to donate them to a senior home or to someone in a new home who doesn’t yet have their own decorations (e.g., a recent college graduate). Sort and put away your remaining decorations according to which room you’ll use them in. Next year you you’ll be able to easily decorate room by room. Return and exchange gifts promptly Don’t let unwanted items create

clutter in your home. Put a date on your calendar to get to the stores and return or exchange gifts that you otherwise won’t use. Organize your gift cards Put them in an envelope, in your wallet, in your car, or somewhere else you’ll easily find and remember them. You might want to make a list of which gift cards you have and keep that list somewhere you’ll see it (e.g., on your refrigerator) to serve as a reminder to use those cards. Make notes for next year Write down what you liked and didn’t like about this year’s holiday celebrations. Store that list with your holiday decorations, in your planner, or in some other spot so that you’ll find it next year. Take advantage of the wisdom you gained about this year’s celebrations to make next year’s holidays even more enjoyable. Put away all your gifts Along with the fun of receiving new things comes the responsibility of finding a home for them. That may

require you to let go of some things (for example, if you received some new clothing items, consider donating the items they replace). It may also require you to get containers (e.g., a bin to hold your burgeoning collection of gloves and mittens). Organize your financial information Before the deluge of year-end financial statements and tax info begins, clean out your files and pare down your piles. Let go of items you no longer need (information that’s available online, monthly information that comes as an annual summary at year-end, etc.) and set up a system to corral the coming year’s paperwork. Just a bit of effort will have you in great shape for an organized new year. Sue Becker is a Certified Professional Organizer in Chronic Disorganization who helps individuals and businesses discover the simplicity, harmony, and freedom of being organized and productive. She also speaks to companies and organizations about how to get organized and make the most of their time. Sue can be reached at www.PilesToSmiles. com or 630-724-1111.

Libraries are a very important function of a village. They outwardly display their worth and a sense of belonging to all residents. The library is for all the people. There are many categories in a library. They are mostly fiction and non-fiction with much more. The Adult Service employees are willing and ready to help you select any book you need. They are very courteous. As a past part time employee (children department) of the library, I had many experiences. One day a mother to-be

came in and sat down and read loudly to herself. She said she would like her child to-be to get started on the good journey of reading. She advised me that she was positive her baby could hear her reading a children’s book. Another example of the excellent services of a library is a reference librarian (Adult Services) can help with almost any medical problem through findings in a book. Many years ago a member of my family was diagnosed with cancer. The word alone is scary. The knowledge in the book helped me immensely. I am forever grateful. On Dec. 12 from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., the White Oak Romeoville Library

will be selling used books. These are mostly holiday books. They can be used as Christmas gifts. They are in good condition. The Friends of the Library (FOL) will be selling five hardpack books for $2. There will also be many more things to buy. The monies collected go back to the three libraries, where needed. Our White Oak Crest Hill, Lockport, and Romeoville Libraries purpose is to build strong communities, develop the love of reading and be a welcome beacon for everyone. Hope is everlasting. Libraries are forever. Shirlee J. Pergler Romeoville

chemistry lesson Talented Raiders using early season to mesh together

By Mark Gregory sports reporter

mark@buglenewspapers.com @Hear_The_Beard

Historically, the SouthWest Suburban Conference Blue Division is one that breeds some of the top boys basketball teams in the area. And historically, Bolingbrook and Joliet West are competing for the top of that league. This season, the first meeting of these two area powers came in the first SWSC meeting of the season. In that matchup, West came out on top with the 67-57 win to stake early claim, but both teams still believe they will be in the mix at the end of the year. At this point in the season, however, both teams are in different spots. While the Tigers return nearly their entire team from a season ago, the Raiders are rebuilding a squad that had the best season in Bolingbrook history, placing third in the state in Class 4A. “They are very good and we have a relatively inexperienced team. Overall, I was encouraged by how we played. We will be fine. We

will get much, much better,” said Bolingbrook coach Rob Brost. “We talked that next time we play them we will be a much better team, but then again, so will they. We have a good bunch of kids that work really hard.” The team is working hard to replace graduated seniors who accounted for more than 46 points a game last season, including a trio of Division-I talents in Julian Torres, Brodric Thomas and the 2015 Voyager Media Player of the Year Prentiss Nixon. Brost knows the talent is on the roster this season to fill those shoes. “I don’t worry about the talent part. I just concentrate on us continuing to have a good attitude and being good teammates,” he said. “We have a great locker room and a great group of guys and that will show through in our play.” Despite losing a lot of players from last season’s team, Brost knows that no one will take the Raiders lightly. “Expectations are always high for us and that is what we want, but we

Spartans beat Wildcats to open SPC By Scott Taylor sports editor

staylor@enterprisepublications.com @Taylor_Sports

Despite being very young, Romeoville has gotten off to a strong start this year, going 3-2. That start continued with a 54-49 win at home over Plainfield Central Friday night to open the Southwest Prairie Conference season. “It was big,” Romeoville sophomore London Stamps said. “We have a lot of new pieces coming in and we’re trying to put them together. We just have to match the physicality of the other team and play together. We just have to win. I just have to distribute the ball and score when I have to score.” “We’re moving in the right direction,” Romeoville coach Marc Howard said. “We’re young, but the guys are working hard. We have some sophomores and a freshman in the mix. Sometimes we have a letdown and struggle with execution, but we fight. We’re a confident group and they love playing together. They listen to coaches and play hard.” It was a back-and-forth game

throughout as Romeoville held leads of 31-30 at the half and 40-39 after three. Central took a 43-42 lead in the fourth, but the Spartans answered with six straight points midway through the fourth. But the Wildcats wouldn’t give up. Back-to-back conventional threepoint plays by Michael Lyons and Sedrick Brooks gave them a 49-48 lead. That would be it though for Central as last six points went to Romeoville, five scored by senior Matt Cappelletti as Central couldn’t convert several three-point opportunities. “We didn’t get down as a team, we just kept fighting,” Cappelletti said. “We just kept listening to what coach said. When we do that and play as a team, I don’t think anyone can stop us.” “Our defense and rebounding were big late in the game,” Howard said. “We kept battling.” Stamps finished the game with 15 points, while Cappelletti had 14 and freshman Mike Salter added 11.

Pair of Raiders end season in showcase By Scott Taylor sports editor

staylor@enterprisepublications.com @Taylor_Sports

The Sixth Annual SportstownChicago.com Illinois High School All-Star Game featured five Voyager Media All-Area members Sunday at Moraine Valley Community College. In the first five set match in event history, it was Team Pink ending up victorious, 25-21, 25-22, 22-25, 2628, 15-12. Voyager Media members for Team Pink were Tiffany Clark of Benet, Allie Lindroth of Plainfield North and Ginger Perinar from Minooka. Team White had Lauren Stefanski of Joliet West and Deyshia Lofton of Plainfield South. “It was great to come out here and meet and play with these new girls out here,” Clark said. “It is a different feel from what we are normally used to, so it was fun. It was exciting to see how well we could play. It was nice to get out and play another game. We wanted to win.” “It was a lot of fun,” Lindroth said. “We got to play with some people we knew, but there were a lot of new girls. The bond we have carried on

since past seasons made it really special for us.” After a slow start, Team White made a big comeback in the fourth set to force a fifth game. “We’re all All-Stars out there so I wanted everyone to have fun,” Stefanski said. “This was our last time playing in high school. It was definitely fun and I liked the way I played. We all put our best effort out there.” “It was a lot of fun,” Lofton said. “I just came in and wanted to play well before college. It was exciting. It was a good way to finish and I got to play with some of my friends at different schools. I’m really proud to be here and represent my school.” With players coming from all over the state, there were a lot of new faces for the local girls to meet. However, there were also several players they knew and had play with or against before. “It was really fun to play with all these girls,” Perinar said. “I played with Allie Lindorth when we were 13, so it was fun to play with her again. It was great to be on the same court as all of these players. It was something different. It was really cool to get that last kill.”

Lindroth finished with 13 kills, Perinar had eight, Lofton tallied five and Stefanski had a pair of kills. Molly Haggerty of Wheaton St. Francis had 18 kills, a game record, and was the MVP. “I worked with the setter before the match started, so we kind of got in a rhythm,” Lindroth said. “That was really beneficial. Playing with (Molly) in previous years was a really good tool for this.” For Stefanski, who is headed to Loyola University, she enjoyed being the first to represent Joliet West in the game. “It really does mean a lot to represent Joliet West,” Stefanski said. “It was a great opportunity and total honor.” Clark is geared up and ready for the University of Michigan, where she will be rivals with Lindroth, who is headed to Northwestern University and Lofton, who is committed to Indiana University. “I’m definitely excited for Michigan,” Clark said. “I mean Big 10 volleyball is probably the best that you can get in the country, so I’m excited to play and meet the girls.” “It has been a dream since

He can play a lot of different positions, which changes our look and makes us hard to defend.” “They are a good basketball team. Marc is doing a great job with them. He has the guys believing and competing,” Central coach Steve Lamberti said of Romeoville. Cappelletti is one of just two seniors on the team this year and the only senior starter, but has enough experience to help out the younger players. “Matt is as tough as nails,” Howard said. “He does all the dirty work. He puts the game on ice for us. I’m

RAIDERS | froM page 9 know we have to be patient and trust each other and trust the system,” he said. “We have a group that is relatively inexperienced compared to almost every team we play. That isn’t an excuse but it is what it is.” One player that has the experience is senior point guard Devon Sams, who is in his fourth season on the varsity team.

SHOWCASE | froM page 12 freshman year,” Lindroth said. “All of the hard work has paid off. It hasn’t been easy, but I wouldn’t have taken any other route. All of the challenges have definitely helped me learn about myself. I’m blessed to be going to the next level and playing at such a great school.”

going to hate to see him go. I’m just going to enjoy finishing the year out with him. My goal with Matt is to end in a high note and accomplish new goals together.” “I love these younger guys,” Cappelletti said. “They always bring energy and a good fight. We work together and hang out a lot. We get a long very well and a lot of these guys can bring something to the table. It is exciting to be around.” Despite all the youth, the Spartans still have high hopes this year. And, they know defense and teamwork will be keys to achieving those goals. “The key is defense,” Stamps said. “We have to play defense. The offense will come to us. We’re a

young, fast team. We want to win a regional. We have to play together.” “We’re striving for a regional championship,” Howard said. “The young guys want to get one for Matt. He has been working hard and taking the young guys under his wing. They are really passionate about getting Matt a regional. It is still a long season.” As the season progresses, the Spartans expect to get better and better as the younger players gain more experience. “Today was our first home game and we came out a little jittery,” Cappelletti said. “Throughout the season we are going to be dangerous. We all have a basketball background and it is going to be fun to see.”

“He controls the action,” Brost said. “He is one of the toughest kids we have had. He is a great leader and he has been around so long and that is a good thing for us. He is such a calming factor for us. It is hard to speed him up and hard to turn him over because he has been through all of this before.” Sams understands it is a process, but he also is ready for it.

“This is going to take time. As we play together, guys will know when to do what, but we are getting there,” Sams said. “They are big shoes to fill, but I am up to the challenge. It starts with being a leader. In practice and even in the hallway at school, you need to be a leader and point your team in the right direction all the time and that was what Prentiss did.”

“I can’t wait,” Lofton said. “I just came back from my official visit and it was really exciting, so I can’t wait to be a part of that. I need to work on my footwork and get faster so I can make an impact.” Perinar is headed to Southern Illinois University. “I’m so excited,” Perinar said. “It’s

going to be really fun. I’m sure I’m going to run into some of these girls on the college courts as well.” Before the game was the Third Annual Showcase Game where unsigned players competed. Team Pink featured Bolingbrook’s Melanie Barrios and Juliana Wober and Joliet West’s Shannon Doran.

Christmas craft fair spreads cheer Trinity Christian holds first-ever holiday fair By Megann Horstead for the Bugle

With Christmas approaching, residents of Shorewood and surrounding communities came together Saturday to get into the holiday spirit. Trinity Christian School held its first-ever Christmas craft and vendor fair and bake sale Dec. 5, and holiday cheer was lined up from wall to wall, as more than 50 local vendors set up shop. Christi Neill, special events coordinator at Trinity Christian, said the school has been amazed by the interest it generated in the community by hosting the fair. “We thought it would be a great way to get involved in the community,” she said. School officials promoted the event using newspaper ad space and Facebook. According to the school’s Facebook page, more than 100 people said they would be in attendance for the craft and vendor fair. Neill said the fact that the craft and vendor fair helps in supporting small businesses and local families is key. On that day, vendors would keep all proceeds gained by setting up booths on campus and profits gained at the bake sale would go

back to the school. Alisyn Chamberlain, of Joliet, mirrored that sentiment. She attended the event with her son to take a look at what the local vendors were offering. “It helps to see the different types of businesses represented,” Chamberlain said, adding that she’s glad she heard about the event, in part, because it helps people in the community. Shorewood resident Stacy Gladkowski was at the fair with her friend and her daughter, a kindergartener at Trinity Christian School. “Handmade crafts, that’s what we’re here for,” she said. Gladkowski said they had just left a different craft sale in the area before heading over to Trinity Christian, adding that they too were interested in seeing all local vendors had to offer. “They actually have Christmas things,” Gladkowski said. “You’d be surprised how many craft sales don’t have Christmas things.” Joanna Jolly, of Joliet, heard about the event through her children who attend the school. She said Christmas is a wonderful time for her because she loves seeing her kids’ excitement. “It’s been interesting walking around [seeing] the different booths,” she said. “It’s nice to come

with my daughter and share this with her.” Brooke Barajas, of Plainfield, was there in support of her mother’s small business, Coasters by Debbie. “It’s nice to see how everyone has handmade gifts or items you can give as gifts,” she said. She added that it’s nice to see the community supporting small businesses as they are and walking away satisfied. “Craft events like this, you come up with an idea and there can be something for everyone,” she said, noting how wonderful it is seeing how the school supports local businesses.
