New ordinances keep things neighborly Excessive residential lighting addressed for first time By Laura Katauskas Bugle Staff @BugleNewspapers sweditor@buglenewspapers.com
As new technology enters the market for homeowners, new regulations come into play. After review of currently policy after an incident brought the issue to light, the village of Romeoville noted it did not have particular ordinances and has since put two new ordinances into practice. The first creates illumination standards, copied in most part from other village’s best practices, setting standards to deal with excessive light complaints. The village currently has standards for commercial areas but not resi-
dential. The ordinance addresses questions about glare, with an aim to prevent glare on adjacent buildings thus avoiding impact on neighboring properties. The ordinance states that outdoor light fixtures must have shields or angle control to prevent glare on adjacent property and streets. Light spillage will also be taken into account, noting that the average maintained foot-candles cannot exceed 0.10. A foot candle, is the amount of light, if someone held a candle from a foot away. “The standards are consistent with model codes and standards researched in surrounding communities,” said Community Development Director Steve Rockwell. “Basically this is so neighbors are not putting light in other neighbor’s windows.” Mayor John Noak said such or-
dinances have been done for auto dealers but none for this type of lighting. “We want to be careful with it and see how it works and how the implementation works,” said Noak. “I feel good moving forward with it but we also need to take our time to review it and see if we have to tweak it, if it is too strong or too weak.” Village officials noted for the most part implementation will be complaint drivin, having a policy in place in case a situation arises. In addition, the village wants to embrace solar and small wind energy sources and set standards for this as well. “We need to accommodate alternative sources of energy with reasonable restriction for safety,” said Noak. The village reviewed and mod-
eled similar ordinances and consolidate to create a simple ordinance that states the a solar device,in general, is to have a maximum 30 degree or five feet tall height on a roof; and a wind source on the ground is to have 12-foot clearance between blades and the ground with a minimum setback of least 110 percent of system height. It also must have a non-reflective finish and be neutral in color;and one propeller per system per pole. Trustee Dave Richards said, “We’ve addresses some of the issues here so a neighbor can’t just build an air-traffic-controller size device and sets some restrictions on what people can build next to you.” Noak added, “We want to support alternative energy and just want it to be safe and reasonable.”
NEWS BRIEF
Tech offers personalized learning at Senior Star Senior Star at Weber Place is implementing, It’s Never 2 Late® (iN2L), a new technology program integrated throughout their senior living community for independent, assisted living and memory support residents. iN2L, founded in 1999, is dedicated to helping older adults realize the full benefits of today’s technology. The system is built on a picture-based, touch-screen interface that allows users to simply “touch” their way to find engaging, educational, spiritual and personalized content that is appropriate to their own level of ability. From using e-mail and web cams to connect with family and friends, to enjoying mind-stimulating activities, to improving handeye coordination as part of a rehabilitation program, seniors with a wide range of physical and cognitive abilities, most of whom have never used a computer, are now enjoying technology using systems adapted especially for them. Senior Star will use this program to encourage personcentered activities that will keep all of their residents cognitively and physically engaged. Activities include: health and wellness, spiritual, reminiscent programming, brain stimulation, connecting with family, travel and more all within the easy, user-friendly touch of a big screen TV. A stationary TV is located in Senior Star’s memory care community to assist in activities that will engage each resident in a personal manner adapted to their interest and ability. A second, and portable, TV is being used in the assisted and independent living communities since both neighborhoods are housed in one building. Residents of those communities will also have the opportunity to enjoy and explore the personalized benefits of the new program.

VILLAGE NEWS >> ROMEOVILLE
Development continues for Renwick,Weber Gourmet sausage eatery coming to site
By Laura Katauskas Bugle Staff @BugleNewspapers sweditor@buglenewspapers.com
Plans continue for the development of the corner intersection at Renwick and Weber roads. The village of Romeoville re-
cently announced, Dog Haus, a gourmet sausage and hamburger restaurant, will be building at the site. The developer of the property is opting to subdivide the land, to be now split in three, hoping to sell off the two remaining lots. Mayor John Noak explained subdividing the land into three smaller lots makes the area more appealing for incoming business development.
“We are very excited see what else this developer has in store,” said Mayor John Noak. “Dog Haus is a very unique thing—only the fourth location expanding in Illinois—it’s a little bit of an honor to have them come in. This is not just a hot dog stand; it’s gourmet sausage burger, beer garden and is different than anything in the market today.” “ You couldn’t pick a better in-
tersection—looking forward to it,” said Trustee Joe Chavez. Dog Haus will be located on the hard corner of Weber and Renwick Roads and construction is anticipated for Spring 2018. Dog Haus is described as a fast-casual concept, designed to elevate the hot dog and burgereating experience. It will serve up quality meals within the contemporary aesthetic of a modern
industrial space. After ordering at the counter, diners will be able to grab a barstool at the communal tables, take a bench seat at one of the reclaimed wood and steel tables, or step outside to the welcoming patio. Dog Haus’ full menu includes gourmet dogs, sausages, burgers, a one of a kind fried chicken sandwich, sides, premium shakes as well as beer and wine.

KISS FM makes woman’s wish come true Letter by former library staffer nets prize in radio contest
On Tuesday, Dec. 5, Bolingbrook resident and single mother of two, Shamika Woodard, received the call of a lifetime. It was Fred and Angi of 103.5 KISS FM Chicago’s popular Fred & Angi in the Morning show calling to tell her she was the winner of their $1,000 KISSmas Wish contest thanks to a letter submitted by former Fountaindale Public Library employee, Ashley Castañeda.
“She is the type of person who can light up a room with just her smile. She is genuine, fun and full-hearted,” Castañeda wrote in her letter. “The truth is, I don’t know every detail to her story. I worked at a public library and I only got the pleasure of seeing her when she came in. Her son has autism and she is a strong advocate for him. She makes sure he gets the care he deserves in school and in public settings, and makes sure he knows that he can accomplish his goals. It is so fun to watch her and her daughter together, too. They are so close that even as an outsider you can tell.” What Ashley did not know about Woodard’s story is that she

and her children, Jaylen, 11, and Kayla, 8, are currently homeless. “I plan to use this money to buy a few nights in a hotel so my children and I can sleep in a bed,” said Woodard. “This gives me a chance
to find a place for us to live before Christmas. My children don’t want toys; they want a home for Christmas.” Woodard and her children frequent Fountaindale Public Library often to participate in free family events, such as Diary of a Wimpy Kid, family movie screenings and Summer Adventure, and to run to the back of the Children’s Services department to get the latest children’s book. “The library is the communi-
ty’s greatest resource,” Woodard said. “It is part of my children’s routine. It’s a place where my son feels comfortable and confident — which is saying a lot for a child with special needs.” “It’s not every day that you meet someone who impacts the way you cherish life; a person that reminds you to smile and look at the bright side,” said Castañeda. “I’m just happy the world can see her joy.” To listen to 103.5 KISS FM Chicago’s entire KISSmas Wish segment, which aired on Wednesday, Dec. 6, visit iheart.com/ podcast/139-1035-KISS-FMMornings-25637914/episodes.

Despite the current challenges we face, it is important to note the proud history of progress over many past challenges. The future is still bright and our citizens are what makes Illinois great.” The official birthday of the state of Illinois is December 3, 1818. Today’s event marked the beginning of the yearlong campaign, “Born Built, & Grown” which will honor the people, places, and things that make Illinois strong, kind, and beautiful.

A complete list of events can be found on the website: illinois200.com. “As a lifelong resident of Will County, I have personally witnessed many changes over the years,” Walsh said. “I am very proud of the history of Will County and the state of Illinois and look forward to our continued success. We will proudly display this Bicentennial flag over the county building in 2018.”

HOME Former USF coaching staff, point guard return to Sullivan Center and leave with victory
BY MARK GREGORY Sports Editor @Hear_The_Beard mark@buglenewspapers.com
When Sam Quigley-Smith took over the head women’s basketball coach at Lewis University in May, the one thing she didn’t have to change was the circle around De. 5 on her calendar. As coach at the University of St. Francis, the battle between the two programs was big because of the proximity of the schools and the local rivalry of the programs. In fact, last year, Quigley-Smith’s Saints upset the Flyers in Romeoville. After accepting the position at Lewis, however, the date took on new meaning as it was QuigleySmith’s return to the court that bears her father’s name inside the USF Sullivan Center. “It was a little stressful, but it was a really great welcoming,”
Quigley-Smith said of going back to St. Francis. “It is really all about the people. It is similar people to at Lewis and that was part of making the move – knowing and having that feeling that there would be great people around you. It is one of those nights that you don’t want anybody to lose as a fan and as the community with the cross town rival – it is really a fun night and something that really draws people to the game and that is big for women’s basketball and area sports.” Not only did Quigley-Smith make the return trip to Joliet, she brought with her members of the coaching staff, including former USF assistants Dan McCarthy and Michael Delrose, who coached with her at USF and Charnelle Reed, who played for her last season for the Saints.

He led them to their first win over Navy since 2001 and won
a bowl game for the first time in six seasons. The last time the Black Knights accomplished both feats in the same season was in 1984.

HOME FROM PAGE 9 Joining the coaching staff in their return was senior guard Chrissi Ekhomu, who played at USF under Quigley-Smith the last three seasons. This year at Lewis, she is averaging 3.4 points per game and posted a season-best 10 points in Lewis’ 59-46 win over St. Francis. “I was different being on the other side. In the beginning, I almost walked to the wrong bench, it was kind of funny,” Ehkomu said. “It was just fun to play against my friends. These are people I think are going to be friends for a long time.” Ehkomu said her decision was all about finishing her career with her coach. “I felt like I signed up to play with Sam Quigley and from my freshman year she has helped me develop as a player and as a woman and I just really did want to spend the last year with her and I felt like it would be a challenge and I wanted to accept the challenge and see what it was,” she said. “Coming from Joliet Catholic, it is all you hear. I felt like I was living in her shadow and I barely knew her at the time. Then you come play for her and you see why people speak so highly of her.” Quigley-Smith said Ekhomu came to her about the transfer after the coaching change. “I didn’t want to be part of the decision making process because I think she would have been great in either place. So it is hard for me to push for one and not the other,” Quigley-Smith said. “When she decided, I was going to help her and when she made the decision, we helped
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 14, 2017 | BUGLENEWSPAPERS.COM her get enrolled in classes and it all happened pretty quickly after the staff moved over. I think I have a great relationship with her and just the whole Ekhomu family.” Ekhomu said the game was emotional for her, especially playing against USF senior Kamari Jordan. “It was emotional because it was my last time on this floor and I felt like me, Sam and the girls built something since 2014 we built an incredible program and it is great to see them still doing well, but at that time, there were no friends – we just had to get the W,” Ekhomu said. “(When I guarded Kamari) We tried not to look at each other so it made it easier to guard each other. We came in together and we clicked immediately. We talk every day, we talk after every game, we have a Snapchat streak. She was happy for me and she was one of the ones encouraging me to make the move because she felt like I needed to be with Sam and have the challenge of going up a level.” One of the adjustments for Ekhomu came in her role on the team going from NAIA to NCAA Division-II and joining a new team. “I was used to always having the ball in my hands and now having other guards that can handle the ball as well and it not just being one person. Anyone can get it and push it. Sometimes I find myself hanging around the rim when I probably should be running the floor,” Ekhomu said. “I enjoy it. I have bonded with the girls and I love the team and I feel like they have welcomed me which has made it a lot easier and more fun.”

GUEST COLUMN
How Green Bay Packers could have been Chicago’s home team Boundary maneuver kept Northern Illinois from becoming part of Wisconsin BY MICK ZAWISLAK OF THE DAILY HERALD Were it not for the action of an enterprising lawyer 200 years ago, the northern portion of Illinois would have the badger as the state animal and Green Bay Packers as the home football team. Indeed, the shrewd move in 1818 by Nathaniel Pope, the Illinois territory’s delegate in Congress, to relocate the original proposed boundary from the southern tip of Lake Michigan is regarded as a decisive event in Illinois history. The shift meant Chicago, then an unincorporated backwater, became part of the nascent state with a port on the Great Lakes. How Illinois’ northern boundary was designated 42 degrees, 30 minutes latitude was a tactical maneuver that effectively set Wisconsin statehood back 30 years. Pope’s move provided the groundwork for Chicago to become Illinois’ economic juggernaut and turned state politics upside down as the area grew. But it also had the national implication of ensuring Illinois would be a free state at a time of percolating political unrest over slavery. “This was not a matter of people interested in the Chicago area, it was actually farsighted people who were about to become the leadership in the new state,” said John Reda, associate professor of history at Illinois State University. At the time, construction of the Erie Canal connecting the Atlantic Ocean to the Great Lakes had just begun and Chicago was contemplated as one end of a canal providing a path to the Illinois River and on to the Mississippi. Illinois would be connected to New York and New England via the Great Lakes shipping channels, providing security for the perpetuity of the Union, Pope argued to Congress, and aligning Illinois firmly with the northern states. Even then, “there was the possibility of a civil war,” said Ken Olson, professor emeritus at the University of Illinois, who has written about the Illinois bor-
der controversy. Congress “wanted to have a water route between the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River for shipping supplies and soldiers if needed, since the Ohio River route could become contested,” said Olson, coauthor of a new book “Managing Mississippi and Ohio River Landscapes” which includes a chapter on the northern border. Along with giving Illinois access to Lake Michigan, Pope’s border modification raised the population nearly to the 40,000 required for statehood, Olson said in an article he co-authored for the Journal of Earth Science and Engineering. By the time Illinois territory was considering statehood, only the northern border was in question. Kentucky and Indiana already were established and the Mississippi River formed a natural boundary on the west. How did the situation come to be? The genesis was in the Northwest Ordinance Act of 1787 approved by Congress that set guidelines for vast tracts ceded to the new government after the Revolutionary War. At first, the original 13 colonies thought they could simply extend their borders to the west, said Gregory M. Gordon, a history professor at the College of Lake County. “What we call the northern part of Illinois was supposed to go to Connecticut and the southern part of Illinois was supposed to be part of Virginia,” he said. Instead, the Northwest Ordinance set up the framework allowing three to five areas to apply for statehood on equal footing with other states. “It was a pretty radical plan,” Reda said. Kaskaskia was the capital of the Illinois territory and home to Nathaniel Pope, a Kentucky native who became the first territorial secretary of Illinois and its delegate in Congress. His petition for statehood, presented to Congress in January 1818, was referred to a committee, with the northern boundary still to be set. While some communities in the northwest part of the Illinois territory, such as Galena with its lead mining industry were hopping, the northeast landscape was bleak. Chicago “was a nothing place,” Gor-
don said. “Southern Illinois was where the action was.” According to an article in the Illinois Periodicals Online project, the 1787 ordinance intended for the northern borders of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois to be aligned touching the southern tip of Lake Michigan. However, the map used by Congress mistakenly showed the southern shore of Lake Michigan to be about six miles north. And when Indiana became a state, its northern boundary was approved about 10 miles north of the originally intended boundary. Those precedents helped Illinois, as did a sense of urgency. When a slave state entered the union, as Mississippi did in late 1817, there was a push by the North to counter with a free state. Some feared Missouri, a slave territory, would seek statehood and the ensuing national crisis could put Illinois’ bid on hold. Pope took a bold stance. In pushing for a more generous northern boundary, he “got an extra 50 miles,” Reda said. Illinois became the 21st state on Dec. 3, 1818, including an additional 8,500 square miles comprising what now are the 14 counties north of the original boundary line. Wisconsin became a territory in 1836 and for several years protested against the northern Illinois boundary, claiming the southern tip of the lake as the true boundary. In 1840, delegates in northern Illinois meeting in Rockford declared the property properly belonged to Wisconsin. But nothing came of the efforts and the matter ended in 1846, when Wisconsin was admitted as a state with its southern border where it exists today. When Illinois was admitted, Pope was made U.S. judge of the district, which included the entire state. Pope County on the southern tip of the state is named for him.

COLUMN >> DAVE SAYS
It’s a dream, not a plan I love your idea, but right now you have more of a dream than a plan DEAR DAVE, I’ve been trying to save cash to buy a home, but things always seem to come up that eat away at my savings. I have $130,000 set aside, plus an emergency fund, and I make $120,000 a year. I’m debt-free and renting right now, but eventually I’d like to buy a house in the $300,000 range. I really hate the idea of owing the bank money, so would you advise continuing to save and pay cash, or is it okay to make a big down payment and take out a small mortgage? MEGAN DEAR MEGAN, I love your idea, but right now you have more of a dream than a plan. You’ll need $170,000 to go from $130,000 in savings to $300,000, right? So, let’s start planning. If you save $60,000 a year, it would take you a little less than three years to get there. If you set aside $40,000 a year, it would take a little more than four years. A little division — just divide $170,000 by the amount you want to save each year — and you’ve got the beginnings of plan. A dream is a good place to start, but I want you to develop this into a plan that focuses on a goal. Break this down, and figure out how to
achieve it. I see three ways to achieve this home ownership goal. One, you do the long division math and save like crazy for however many years it takes to save up $170,000. The second is to put $130,000 down on a $300,000 home, and take out a $170,000, 15-year fixed rate mortgage. This is the only kind of debt I don’t beat up people for having. The good news is, with your income, you could probably pay it off in half that time. A third possibility is to buy a $130,000 house. Write a check for nice, modest home now, and in five years — saving wildly the whole time, since you’ll have no house payments — move up and pay cash for a $300,000 home. If I’m in your shoes, that’s what I’m doing! —DAVE DEAR DAVE, I’ve noticed that the younger you are, the less expensive life insurance can be. I’m 32, and I’m still paying off my student loans. With this in mind, what’s the best age to get
term life insurance, and what does it cover? KALINA DEAR KALINA, Simply put, term life insurance covers death. Having student loans doesn’t really matter when it comes to life insurance, either. If you have a family – or someone who is dependent on your income – you need 10 to 12 times your yearly income in a good, level term insurance policy. If you make $50,000 a year, that means you need a term life insurance policy with $500,000 to $600,000 worth of coverage. If you don’t have a family or dependents, I’d recommend a simple burial policy of $10,000 to $20,000 to cover any final expenses. Either of these would be very inexpensive for someone your age. Keep in mind that life insurance becomes costlier as you get older. The reason? Statistically speaking, the older you are the more likely you are to die. It’s not a fun thought, but it’s the truth. Life insurance, or at least a burial policy if you’re single and have no dependents, isn’t one of the Baby Steps in my plan. But in your case, it’s a go-get-it-now adult responsibility kind of thing! —DAVE * Dave Ramsey is CEO of Ramsey Solutions. He has authored seven bestselling books, including The Total Money Makeover.

LAST-MINUTE GIFT GUIDE 2017
Stay within your budget, shoplocal and give something less traditional Holiday shopping season typically begins the day after Thanksgiving and extends all the way to Christmas Eve. While that’s a considerable amount of time for shoppers to find gifts for everyone on their shopping list, many people will still find themselves putting holiday shopping off until the last minute. In certain ways, last-minute holiday shopping is easier than ever. Thanks to online retailers who can ship products overnight, men and women who delay their holiday shopping have more options at their disposal than they did before the arrival of the Internet. And unlike the days of yore when the best deals were largely exclusive to Black Friday, some shoppers find that competition between online retailers and traditional brick-and-mortar stores is so great that deals can be found regardless of when they begin shopping. But while waiting until the last minute to begin holiday shopping may not be as risky as it used to be, shoppers may still benefit by sticking to certain strat-
sure items arrive on time. SHOP DURING OFF-PEAK HOURS Shopping during off-peak hours can help last-minute shoppers make efficient use of the limited time they have to buy gifts for their loved ones. Visit stores early in the morning or late at night, or schedule a midweek afternoon shopping trip so you aren’t spending what little time you have left waiting on lines or hunting for parking.
egies so they can find the perfect gifts without breaking the bank. STAY WITHIN YOUR BUDGET Even last-minute shoppers have holiday shopping budgets. But it can be harder for last-minute shoppers to stick to their budgets because they have less time to comparison shop and hunt for deals. As the holiday shopping season winds down, resist the temptation to go over budget. If a gift you had in mind is available but more than you can spend, look for something else. Overspending on holiday shopping in December is a recipe for debt in January, and no shopper wants to begin the new year weighed down by consumer debt. SHOP LOCAL National chains and big box retailers are renowned for rolling out great deals during the holiday season, but such stores may have very limited or unimpressive inventory left by the time lastminute shoppers begin shopping. Local retailers are often incapable
of slashing prices as significantly as their larger competitors, and that may mean they have more extensive inventories available
LAST-MINUTE GIFT GUIDE 2017
Roadways, railways and skies tend to get busy come the holiday season, when millions of people across the globe travel to visit family and friends. Wherever travelers are headed, be it across the country or across the world, they should realize that many other people are traveling as well. That can lead to traffic, long lines and other side effects associated with large crowds. But before travelers let the idea of challenging travel conditions deter them, they can consider certain ways to make the process of getting from point A to point B a bit more manageable. TRAVEL BY CAR Those traveling by automobile will have a few extra steps to take to ensure their trips go off with minimal disturbances. One of the
more important steps is to ensure the vehicle is properly maintained prior to departing. Have the car checked by a mechanic and take care of any service appointments, such as oil changes or tire rotations. Map out the route in advance and have an alternative plan if the route chosen proves to be too congested. One idea is to choose a scenic drive that may be a little longer but has less traffic. In addition, account for rest stops or points of interest that can break up the trip. Apps such as GasBuddy can help drivers find the cheapest gas or the cleanest bathrooms along their routes. Bring along plenty of snacks so you can eat healthy and aren’t forced to rely on foods you otherwise would not eat. This is particularly helpful with keeping kids satiated.
throughout the holiday shopping season. In addition, shoppers who stick with local retailers won’t have to pay shipping costs to en-
GIVE SOMETHING LESS TRADITIONAL Holiday gifts need not come from stores. Rather than spending their time shopping for gifts for loved ones who seemingly have it all, last-minute shoppers can give the gift of a donation in their loved one’s name. Last-minute shoppers who want to give something more tangible can create a homemade gift that’s both unique and heartfelt. If your DIY skills are lacking, give a loved one the gift of a night out on the town at your expense. Shoppers who wait until the end of the holiday shopping season to begin their searches for holiday gifts can still find great gifts without going broke.
