Open Burning Ordinance sent back to committee County Board on Jan. 16 tabled a recommendation from its Public Health and Safety Committee

By LAuRA KATAuSKAS STAFF REPORTER Politicians constantly spout off about it, towns aspire to it and it is vital to all—jobs. And it was the single most important factor Mayor Roger Claar wants people to take away from his State of the Village address— Bolingbrook has them, thousands of them.

The crux of his speech, his 28th annual, to a crowd of nearly 700 in the event sponsor by the Bolingbrook Chamber of Commerce, was a litany highlighting the progress of Bolingbrook. Pointing to not only development but also redevelopment in areas of manufacturing and enterprise that has come to town in the past year, he emphasized the jobs brought with it that helps keep the town successful and on the map.

Nearly a year’s worth of work on Will County’s open burning ordinance will continue to smolder at least another month.

The County Board on Jan. 16 tabled a recommendation from its Public Health and Safety Committee, and sent it back to work out some issues. There also may be another public hearing on any changes before the full board takes up the plan again.

For the second consecutive meeting, most Republicans on the board attempted to amend a committee’s recommendation on the floor.

Committee Chair Joe Babich, D-Joliet, was not pleased since his committee had been See BURNING, page 4

Man shot near school Male victim was found with a gunshot in the midsection, and it was learned that the victim and the offenders knew each other A shooting in the area of Kingsbrooke Court led to a lockdown of area Bolingbrook schools Thursday afternoon.

Lt. Mike Rompa said police received reports of shots fired at about 2 p.m. Jan. 16 near Kingsbrooke Court and Kingsbrooke Crossing.

Two black men were seen shooting at the end of the court and were then seen fleeing the area in a silver or white Chevrolet four-door car.

A male victim was found with a gunshot in the midsection, and it was learned that the victim and the offenders knew each other.

Rompa said the incident was in no way related to the school, but all area schools were placed on a lockdown status as a precautionary measure. Bolingbrook High School was placed on a hard lockdown after student dismissal, and Jane Addams, Brooks, Oak View and Independence schools were placed on soft lockdowns. All lockdowns occurred for about 10 minutes.

The incident is under investigation.

BURNING Continued from page 1 dealing with the ordinance for some seven months before coming up with a recommendation at its Jan. 9 meeting.

As happened when Board Member Judy Ogalla, R-Monee, successfully, last month wanted to amend the board’s 2014 legislative agenda to make landowner rights stronger, Naperville GOP Board Member Chuck Maher’s request for an amendment to the burning ordinance led to a discussion on the need for committee structure and the danger of introducing new language on the floor just before a vote.

Indeed, Board Member Liz Collins, R-Plainfield, a member of the health committee, suggested they table the issue and send it back to committee since she was confused as to what she was voting on. If the board had voted on the ordinance as presented, it could have banned charcoal grills from decks in unincorporated areas, said Assistant State’s Attorney Mary Tatroe.

For a time, the committee had considered restricting open burning to 100 feet from another person’s property. But after concerns by the Will County Farm Bureau, the committee opted to keep the distance at 50 feet.

However, the proposed regulations said that “fires shall be located not less than 1000 feet, unless otherwise specifically provided for herein, from any school, park, hospital, nursing home and/or residence of a person with a Chronic Respiratory Disease. For the purposes of this ordinance, agricultural properties are exempt from the 1000 feet setback if the property is used for agricultural purposes.”

Republican Caucus Chair Jim Moustis, R-Frankfort, chafed at that requirement, saying it was too restrictive. Maher’s amendment would have eliminated it. He also said the only reason the county’s

The committee’s recommendations for open burning also say: Waste materials of any nature shall not be disposed of by burning on the premises or in the immediate vicinity without having obtained a permit from the state or the state Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Fires shall be located not less than 50 feet, unless otherwise specifically provided for herein, from any motor vehicle and any structure with adequate provision made to prevent spreading of the fire. No fire shall exceed six feet by six feet. Only one fire, which is not contained in a patio burning unit, shall exist on the property at any given time agricultural community was exempt is because of pressure they put on the committee.

Will County Farm Bureau Manager Mark Schneidewind said

Open burning of leaves, branches or bushes shall be conducted on the owner’s property or farm on which the leaves, branches or bushes were generated and within the provisions of this Ordinance.

Fires contained in a “patio wood-burning unit,” shall be at least 15 feet from any structure.

All fires shall be constantly attended by a competent person of 18 years or older until such fire is extinguished. This person shall have an adequate water supply.

Fires shall be located not less than 1,000 feet, unless otherwise specifically provided for herein, from any school, park, hospital, nursing home and/or residence of a person with a Chronic Respiratory Disease. For the purposes of this ordinance, agricultural properties are exempt from the 1,000 feet setback if the property is used for agricultural purposes.

Burning within 20 feet from the edge of any public roadway is strictly prohibited.

Legitimate recreation fires shall be located not less than 50 feet from any structure.

after the Jan. 16 meeting that state law allows for rural farm burning.

And while the county cannot regulate this part of the burning, any change in setbacks would

have reduced most farm burning.

And open burning on farms was not the reason for the requested change in the county ordinance, he added.

and the community during sessions

Valley View School District 365U will soon implement a state-mandated child sexual abuse awareness program for students in pre school through fifth grade.

Required by new legislation known as “Erin’s Law” which the Illinois legislature approved last year, the program includes two preliminary meetings to explain content and procedures to parents and the community, ageappropriate 45-minute sessions in every pre K-5 classroom in the district provided by experts from Guardian Angel Community Services, and training for VVSD staff members.

“We teach children on bullying intervention, stranger danger, internet safety and drug abuse yet we fail to give them a voice

if someone is violating them,” said Erin Merryn, the nationallyrecognized champion of child sexual abuse prevention whose efforts led to the passage of the new Illinois law. “Unfortunately without being educated, children will be repeatedly abused for years because often the only message they get comes from their abuser threatening them into silence.”

VVSD parents are receiving letters this week briefly explaining the new law and how Valley View plans on complying with the mandate. The letters include an invitation to one of two community meetings at 9:30 a.m.

Jan.29 at the VVSD Administration Center, 755 Dalhart Avenue in Romeoville or 7 p.m. Jan. 30 at Jamie McGee Elementary School,

179 Commonwealth Drive in Bolingbrook.

Student sessions will begin in February.

‘Bigs, Littles’ share recipe for special bond Big Brothers Big Sisters of Will, Grundy Counties pair 2 individuals that share bond for baking

By Stewart Warren For the Bugle

When Kathy Sliter first met 6-year-old Payton, the girl was more than a little standoffish.

She was soft-spoken, reserved and didn’t say much, sometimes answering a question with a shrug of her shoulders.

Sliter understood.

“She reminds me of myself,” she said, adding that she can be shy, too.

The ice didn’t last. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Will and Grundy Counties had chosen Sliter, a registered nurse who lives in Joliet, to be Payton’s mentor and role model, an assignment that she takes very seriously.

They started as lunch buddies, sharing a meal regularly at Payton’s school. From the beginning, Sliter brought the materials for a small craft project so the little girl could focus on something other than the beginning of their relationship.

They began a shared journal, writing something about each of their meetings in a pink book.

They bonded over a cookie-baking project in Sliter’s kitchen when Payton teased her “big sister” for not being Joliet’s version of Julia Child.

But volunteering isn’t a oneway street.

It doesn’t simply help the children. It does something special for the volunteers too, and Sliter says it’s done a lot for her.

“I know where the stove is,” Sliter says, admitting that she doesn’t go much beyond that.

At first, it didn’t seem like things were going well. The cookie dough was gluey. So instead of cutting it into shapes, they formed small balls that somehow melted

together in the oven and became one giant cookie. It looked funny but tasted great.

“You sure have a lot of cookie cutters for someone who doesn’t know how to bake,” Payton told her big sister.

Now they are as close as close can be.There are hugs when they meet and when they part. Sliter is a regular presence at Payton’s school, even attending school board meetings. They have even reminisced about the time when they didn’t know each other so well.

On Thursday, Jan. 16, Payton and many of the other little brothers and sisters honored the mentors who have become their close companions during a ceremony at Big Brothers Big Sisters headquarters in old limestone house at 417 Taylor St. The “bigs” walked the “purple carpet” – purple is the signature color of Big Brothers Big Sisters – as if they were arriving at a fancy Hollywood awards ceremony. The “littles” stood behind a purple rope, clapping and cheering for the people.

Rycraft overcomes injury to win regional

By Scott Taylor Sports Editor

Heading into the 10th frame of the sixth game at the Minooka Regional at Channahon Lanes Saturday, Jan. 18, Bolingbrook senior Matt Rycraft knew what he had to do to win the individual title.

He needed 20 pins to tie Minooka’s John Kauffman and two strikes would have clinched at worst a tie.

Rycraft struck the first ball and once he struck with his second ball, his teammates celebrated, knowing all he had to do was keep the ball on the lane for the win.

That he did, finishing it off with a strike for a 1,376 total, 10 pins ahead of Kauffman.

“They told me I needed the front two to tie for sure,” Rycraft said. “That was all that was on my mind there because we were told we clinched second. This was my first time throwing a 700 in a tournament.”

He knew what he needed going into the last frame and he was glad his coaches told him.

“I was glad because it gave me the pressure that drove me to doing it,” Rycraft stated.“I love pressure. It feels amazing that I came back from an Achilles tear less than a month ago and to do Scott Taylor/Bugle Staff

Raiders fall to Vikings in Tony Smith’s return

By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

Through all the emotion centered around the return of longtime coach Tony Smith and

his No. 1 ranked HomewoodFlossmoor squad to Bolingbrook along with four players who transferred with Smith and despite the 77-44 loss by Bolingbrook on its home floor,

one underlying story was not told.

The Raiders can play.

Albeit in stretches and not consistent enough to compete with a team of H-F’s caliber,

Bolingbrook showed it is a team on the verge of getting back to where it was during Tony Smith’s 12 years on the sidelines.

“I think throughout the game we showed that we can actually play with them and keep it competitive,” said first-year Bolingbrook coach Chris Smith.

“But, let’s be honest, in the end, they are more talented. In spurts, I feel we showed we can play with a team of that nature, but you saw the difference in where they are and where we are in a 32 minute basis. The good thing about playing a team like H-F is that they will play for 32 minutes and they will make you play for 32 minutes. If you only play for 20 minutes, you will lose by 50 points. It will make us better in the long run and we can use this to our advantage.”

Aysia Bugg, who led the Raiders with 11 points, said the proper game plan was in place, the team just didn’t carry it out.

“We came out hard, and we knew what was going to happen as the game went by,” she said.

“We knew they were going to

pressure us and we knew the tempo and we had game plans in place, we just didn’t execute.

We have been preparing for this game for a while, we just didn’t use what we had been practicing.”

Chris Smith the good that comes out of a game like that is having it on film.

“We will see when we watch the game,” he said.“They will see where they took time off, they will see when we jogged up court and even in set plays we jogged to position.When you are playing a team that never jogs, they play hard every possession.

In order to beat a team like that, we need to play one of our best games possible and that means eliminate all the unforced turnovers, the bad passes, the lack of hustle and rebounding and we didn’t do that today.”

The loss was the first-ever loss by a Bolingbrook team in the SouthWest Suburban Conference and it was the first loss in conference play since falling to See RETURN, page 14

Lady Kingsmen suffer first loss of season The Lady Kingsmen of Romeoville Christian suffered their first loss of the season on Thursday falling to the Patriots of Calumet Christian 40-33.

The Kingsmen gave up several turnovers and shot poorly from the field contributing to the loss.

Freshman Jessie Perez led all scorers with 17 points. Junior captain Casey Perez contributed five steals.

The Lady Kingsmen held off the Eagles of Kankakee Trinity this Tuesday to improve to 9-0 on the season. An excellent first half on both ends of the court helped Romeoville jump up to a 29-13 lead going into half time, but foul trouble would play a key role in the second half as 3 starters for RCA were sidelined for extended periods. Although the Eagles rallied and brought the lead into single digits the Kingsmen weathered the storm for the 48-30 win.

Lauren Johnson led all scorers with 16 points followed by 13 from Jessie Perez who also added seven steals. Rebounding was a key in this game due to the size advantage the Eagles had but junior forwards Erica Ware and Casey Perez held their own on the glass pulling down 11 and 10 rebounds, respectively.

BOYS BASKETBALL Romeoville Christian played in the Dayspring Classic in Lake Zurich this past weekend. The tournament hosted 16 teams representing 7 different states.

The Kingsmen finished the tournament 1-2. The opening round game the Kingsmen matched up against Licking County Christian from Ohio, in which the Kingsmen lost 62-38.

In the second round the Kingsmen played Crosspointe Christian from Indiana and won 44-26.

In the final game for the Kingsmen they would play Cornerstone Christian from Sycamore, IL. The Kingsmen had the lead after the first quarter, but with hot shooting from Cornerstone they fought back.

The game would end with a 4942 win for Cornerstone.

The Kingsmen fell to the Eagles of Kankakee Trinity by 14 Tuesday evening, to drop to 3-9 on the year. It was a slow start for the Kingsmen by getting

outscored in the first quarter 21-9. The Eagles lead from the beginning of the game and didn’t look back, winning 65-51.

Jake Janson led the way for the Kingsmen with 20 while sophomores Robbie Janson and Patrick Miller added 13 and 12, respectively.

MEN’S BASKETBALL The No. 23 Lewis University men’s basketball team is off to its best start in 10 seasons, as the Flyers claimed the 86-73 Great Lakes Valley Conference road victory over Illinois Springfield at The Recreation and Athletic Center on Saturday (Jan. 18) afternoon.

With the win, Lewis improves to 13-1 overall and 5-1 in conference play, while the host Prairie Stars drop to 5-9 on the campaign and 1-5 in conference play. The Flyers opened the 2003-04 campaign winning 16 out of their first 17 contests. The victory also marks the Flyers’ seventh road triumph of the season, matching the most wins away from Neil Carey Arena under head coach Scott Trost.

“Experience always helps on the road and we certainly have that,” Trost said of his team’s abilities away from home.

Lewis junior forward Julian Lewis (Flossmoor, Ill./ Homewood-Flossmoor) led all scorers with a game-high 20 points and eight rebounds, while junior guard Jeff Jarosz (Lyons, Ill./Morton) finished with 16 points on 5-for-6 shooting.

Senior guard Nick Valla (Tinley Park, Ill./Marist) finished with 10 points and junior forward David Niggins (Naperville, Ill./ Naperville Central) came off the bench to score 10 points and connect on two treys.

UIS junior forward Dylan Sparkman topped the Prairie Stars with a game-high 20 points and added six rebounds. The Prairie Stars received 14 points and three treys from sophomore forward Dusko Despot, 12 points and a game-high eight rebounds from freshman guard Mark Weems, Jr. UIS senior guard Regan Bruenger chipped in 10 points.

With all that was going on outside of simply playing basketball, the Raider nation was out in full force.

“Everybody was on them and I don’t know if that worked to our advantage or our disadvantage,” Chris Smith said.“The crowd was great. It was the best crowd we have seen for a girls game and I hope we did enough to keep them coming back.”

The emotion was not lost on the Raiders’ former boss, as Tony Smith was not only a longtime coach at Bolingbrook, he was also a student-athlete for the Raiders.

“It was different,” Smith said.“I grew up here. I helped open the school here and I haven’t been back here in a long time. This is my first game here in a year. I had a moment when they called off the Raiders that I was upset, then I remembered, I’m a Viking now. But, being back home with friends and family is always a good thing.”

Since Smith’s last game coached at Bolingbrook, the administration made some changes to which sideline the teams sit on and reorganized the trophy cases.

“Since I was gone, they moved things around,” Tony Smith said.

“The benches moved, football is in front of the trophy case when before that was basketball. It was a little different and it made H-F feel more like home now.” mark@buglenewspapers.com

Mistakes lead to Raiders’ third loss of season

By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

Mark Gregory/Bugle Staff

Bolingbrook’s Prentiss Nixon had 22 points against Mt. Carmel.

Coming off a SouthWest Suburban Conference overtime win over Homewood-Flossmoor last Friday, the Bolingbrook boys basketball team again had a challenge on its hands Monday.

The Raiders faced Mt. Carmel at Joliet Central High School as part of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Hoops.

Poor decisions down the stretch led to Bolingbrook (113) losing its third game of the season, 62-57.

The teams played nearly even in the first half, with the Caravan holding a one-point edge at the break.

The Raiders came out on a roll in the second half, taking what seemed to be a commanding 10-point lead.

Coming off an emotional win three days earlier, Bolingbrook coach Rob Brost said he was worried about a letdown.

“We were concerned about that happening and when we got up 10 there, I think we thought we had the game in hand and we would have had the game in hand if we had made good decisions in the second half and especially in the fourth quarter,”

Brost said.“We will be alright.We will bounce back.”

Brost said the loss can help the Raiders in the long run.

“We are all disappointed,” he said. “It was absolute silence in the locker room and that is good because we do not like how this feels and that is good. We talked about before the week that we had four games in six days. We had wanted to go 4-0, but I guess now we have to go 3-1.”

Not only will Bolingbrook learn from the feeling of a loss, but also because Mt. Carmel posed unique problems for the Raiders.

“This will really help us,” Brost said. “Mt. Carmel can play different ways. They are pretty deliberate on the offensive end and they have good players.

When you make mistakes, good players make you pay and that is what happened today. I thought we did a nice job of making adjustments at halftime. We

came out and got up by 10 and we didn’t do a good job of taking their punch and giving it back to them.”

The combination of size and physicality is something the Bolingbrook big men have not seen up until facing the Caravan.

(Homewood-Flosmoor’s) Tai (Odiase) was a big challenge Friday. He is 6-9, but maybe not as physical,” Brost said.“These Mt. Carmel kids are big and strong and physical and not only their bigs.Their guards are too.”

The Mt. Carmel big men also posed match-up issues, forcing some of the Bolingbrook bigs to guard the perimeter.

“Their bigs are skilled and so are ours,” Brost said “But it just created different match ups. I thought we did a good job up until the last four or five minutes of defending them.”

RYCRAFT Continued from page 11 this means a lot to me. This was my first full tournament back bowling six games. I just wanted to help my team.”

It was uncertain if and when Rycraft would come back, but he was able to do so, and in a big way.

“It was a little scary for me

coming back because I didn’t know how I was going to do coming back,” Rycraft said. “It means a lot because my team was there with me through it all.”

Rycraft helped the Raiders place second overall with a 6,047 total, which was good enough to advance to the Andrew Sectional.

Minooka won with a 6,047.

“We came out and struggled the first game but we still managed a 985,” Bolingbrook

Sports senior Eric Kramer said. “It was a rough first game, but after that we were a consistent team. If someone went down, we picked them up. Not one guy got subbed out today. It was a consistent day.

We picked up spares and spares win games.”

The top four teams advanced to the sectional level.

Kramer finished third overall with a 1,295, while Kurt Messenger (1,181), Matt Strzechowski (1,136) and Gio

Montecinos (1,059) contributed for Bolingbrook.

“It feels great,” Kramer said. “A lot of teams doubted us, but we proved them wrong. Now we’re going to sectionals and trying to make state.”

The sectional will take place Saturday, Jan. 25 at Orland Bowl.

The top six teams will advance to state, as will the top seven individuals not on those teams.

After the strong performance at the regional, the Raiders like their chances on lanes they are familiar with.

“We have to stay consistent as a team and make sure nobody goes down,” Kramer said. “We have to get those 1,000 games because that is what is going to get you in the top six. We can’t have those low games. Myself, Gio and Strez threw 700s on

those lanes this year and we’re hoping to go out and do the same thing we did before.”

“We’re hoping we can repeat this performance today and make it to state,” Rycraft said.

“I think we have a very good chance of finishing in the top six if we bowl the way we did today.

We have to bowl our hearts out and do the best we can.”

•Romeoville will also be at the Andrew Sectional after winning the Sandburg Regional at Orland Bowl.

The Spartans fired a 6,490, besting Sandburg (6,449).

Kyle Zaremba (1,348), Dakota Vostry (1,325), Cody Surges (1,300), Stephen Vaughn (1,276) and Jacob Hubbs (1,241) scored for the Spartans.

Balanced attack leads East past Central

By Scott Taylor Sports Editor

Plainfield East went through a tough stretch around the holiday break.

It lost to Plainfield North in Southwest Prairie Conference play, then went 1-3 in the Pekin Holiday Tournament.

The Bengals returned to SPC play and lost to Oswego.

Now that they have returned to a normal schedule, they have returned to their winning ways, topping Romeoville earlier in the week and taking down Plainfield Central 74-40 Friday at Central.

“It’s especially good to come back in conference,” East coach Branden Adkins said.

“A lot of our losses, we were in the games. We just weren’t playing 32 minutes. I feel like Tuesday night and tonight we played a lot better. We had good pressure and forced some turnovers, which gave us some easy baskets. We had a lot of guys step up tonight.”

“We had a couple down points, but it feels really good beating Romeoville and getting this win,” Jordan said. “It is a great feeling.”

Everyone got into the action for East, led by Jordan, who scored a game-high 18 points.

Freshman Malik Binns added 12 points, Joshua Smith scored 10 points, Myles Ward and sophomore Elyjah Goss each had eight points and Nick Novak contributed seven points.

“From the tipoff we pressured the ball well and got out in transition,” Novak said. “Like coach said, good defense leads to good offense. The guys came off the bench and did a great job of getting in passing lanes and making plays. It was a great team effort.”

“Everybody contributed tonight,” Jordan said.“It was a fun game.”

Having the bench, and in particular the underclassmen contributing could be a big

bonus for the Bengals down the stretch.

“We believed in our freshmen and sophomores from the start of the season, that is what they are up with us,” Adkins said. “Since the beginning of 2014, they have played with a different energy level. Even some of the juniors are really contributing. Now we have a good rotation of nine, 10 or 11 guys who can contribute at any time.”

East held a 14-8 lead after one quarter, but the Wildcats closed the gap and cut it to two at 1917.

That would be as close as they would get as the Bengals scored the last 15 points of the first half thanks to their full court press.

“Not only does (pressing) pump us up, it makes our offense so much easier,” Novak said. “We can get out and transition and go. It makes things a lot easier, especially with the momentum changes. We’re taking pride in our defense now and everyone is getting after it.”

That energy will be a big key for East moving forward.

“We’re bringing a lot more energy,” Jordan said. “We have to throw the first punch and when we do good things happen.”

They will need to bring it every game with two conference losses, but everyone in the conference has at least one loss, so they still control their own destiny.

“We can win every game if we play the way we can play,”Adkins said. “But if we play the way we did around the holidays, we could lose to teams who shouldn’t be beating us. We’re using this as momentum and motivation. We still have to play Plainfield North and Oswego again and we get them both at our house.”

Central was playing without head coach Steve Lamberti, who missed the game for family reasons.

Logan Velasquez and Dwight Watkins scored nine points each to lead the Wildcats.

“We talked about playing within

happened in the game, so we will build on the positives. You have to play your game and play to your ability.

“We got the ball inside some and we were successful there. At times, because of the pressure,

we got away from that. We have to keep our focus and do the things that are successful when we are under pressure so we can get better results.”

Adventist Bolingbrook Hospital, almost 800. WI Tronix, All Saints, Hellerman Tyton, Precision Foods, COTG, Chicagoland Warehouse and Transportation, Southern Wine and Spirits, over 1,000. The list goes on. Thousands of jobs have come here.”

He praised the work and success of those companies, highlighting those like Weathertech who nearly doubled its employee base and increased sales by 49 percent in 2013.

He spoke of various expansion like that of Adventist Bolingbrook Hospital, a new showroom for Advantage Chevrolet; plans for a new full-service Hilton Garden Inn and Suites set to be open in December; numerous industrial

spec buildings; the expansion of Precision Foods, a new tire consolidated tires sales center; a grand re-opening of Chicago Office Technology Group (COTG), among others.

“Now that we have 822 rooms at various established hotels, the Promenade, an upscale shopping mall, a world-class golf course and clubhouse here at the Bolingbrook Golf Club,ABH, Bolingbrook Clow International Airport, a world-class swimming and athletic complex at Pelican Harbor, almost 32 million square feet of industrial, manufacturing and distribution buildings, and over 6.6 million square feet of retail opportunities,”

said Claar, “we’re going to be promoting Bolingbrook as a regional meeting place for people to stay with our easy access throughout Illinois …”

Claar also pointed to a few announcements for the upcoming year, including new development such as a second Oberweiss (Bolingbrook being one of only two towns that have more than one location) Connies’s Pizza, Say Beignet, Margarita Island (formerly Cattleman’s Restaurant to open in the spring), and a new IHOP near Meijer East on Janes Avenue.

The old Wendy’s Building near Route 53 and Boughton Road will be torn down this year and

replaced with an O’Reilly’s Auto Parts Store, eliminating an eyesore.

In addition, acreage across from Portillo’s is near sale making room for a senior housing complex.

In one of the largest announcements, Turano Bakery will be more than doubling its size of production.

One of the biggest items of news this year, Claar reported, was the sale of Innsbruck Apartments, 601 Preston Drive. Innsbruck will now be called the Promenade Apartments, since they are located next to the Promenade mall and will take two to three years to renovate,adding balconies,garages, stainless steel appliances, wood floors and other improvements.

“That complex has had many problems over the last few years.

This upgrade should eliminate many or most all of those problems,” said Claar.

The Promenade mall went up for sale in 2013. Claar said Starwood Capital, formerly a subsidiary of Starwood Hotels and owner of Louis Joliet Mall, signed a contract to purchase the Promenade and expects to close at the end of the first quarter of 2014.

Future road projects include the completion of Kings Road

from Boughton Road, south to Remington Boulevard; extending 115th street to Naperville/Plainfield Road; the completion of the 95th Street Bridge; a stop light at the corner of Royce Road and Route 53 and another at Territorial Drive and Remington Boulevard.

Discussion of the Weber Road Bridge have begun,moving into the engineering study design phase, which will take approximately two years with construction if funding becomes available for the bridge and the widening of Weber Road from 115th Street in Bolingbrook south to 135th Street in Romeoville. Taking the partial interchange at Route 126 and I-55 to a full interchange continues to be studied. While funds are low and there is no timetable set, progress is being made, said Claar.

Bolingbrook currently has four active homebuilders, with the most expensive sales price topping out at $700,000 and the average sales price near $350,000.

Getting ‘stupid’ employees to execute simple instructions Q. I was just promoted into management and am shocked at how stupid my employees can be. I give them directions and then they do 18 things I didn’t want. I’m getting really frustrated and curt with them. How do I make sure they do tasks the way I want them done?

A. To get subordinates to deliver the performance you want, you’ll need to start by realizing you’ve been assuming everyone thinks the way you do. You’ll also need to get over being mad that people don’t think the way you do.

People come to work with multiple different perspectives on the “right” way to get work done.

If you fail to be idio- proof specific about both the process of a task and the outcome you want, you will spend a lot of time at work both disappointed and angry.

As you become more specific about what and how you want things done, you’ll discover most people aren’t as stupid as you now believe.They just think about problems in different ways than you do.

Here are some ways around the common problems managers face: • Repeat instructions to employees who don’t listen.

Communicate in every medium even when you believe someone has understood you. Verbalize a request, email a request, demonstrate the task, and watch as the employee performs the task.

• When you believe you have been understood, look at employees and ask them to repeat what you are asking them to do. Nine times out of 10, you’ll discover before they screw up that they misunderstood you.

• Examine ways you can establish repetitive protocols for simple tasks that you post all over your office. Email these protocols and make sure employees read both the emails and what you post.

People will stop annoying you with simple mistakes if you post easy instructions on how to do what you want.

• Put your most annoying employees in charge of training

other employees. You’ll discover that when an employee has to train another employee in a task, they realize just how frustrating it is to keep repeating themselves. If you want an employee to learn a skill better, make them the corporate trainer for that skill.

• Let employees save face. If they keep trying to solve the same problem the same way and then whining, point out that you are certain they are trying different approaches to a solution.Don’t bite their head off for expecting different results with the same approach.

Encourage them to continue to try different approaches when they are stuck before they come to you.

• Being a manager is very similar to being a parent,and parenting has been compared to being pecked to death by chickens. The difference, of course, is your own children seem so adorable that most days you can tolerate the frustration of parenting. Employees who are frustrating seem anything but cute.

Your frustration can be your ally if you use your anger as emotional gas to brainstorm solutions that make it more likely employees will do what you want. Wishing and hoping employees will someday think like you is about as effective as waiting for a unicorn.

The last word(s) Q. Is there any magic formula for creating co-operation in the workplace?

A. Yes, figure out what other people want most, give it to them, and then piggyback what you want on the delivery of their desired result. Almost everyone will be your new best friend!
