City to consider options for new water source Joliet’s water is currently drawn from 26 wells and treated at 11 water treatment plants BY MARNEY SIMON Enterprise Staff @PlainfieldNews news@enterprisepublications.com
The city of Joliet is on the hunt for a new water supply. On June 18, members of the City Council reviewed a proposal for engineering services to explore options for new, sustainable water for the city and region. Joliet’s water is currently drawn from 26 wells and treated at 11 water treatment plants and the city maintains 612 miles of water mains. In 2015, the Illinois State Water Survey of the sandstone aquifers in Northern Illinois identified decreased groundwater levels, noting that the water source for Joliet’s deep wells could be depleted in 15 to 30 years. “For that reason, it’s very critical that at this time we really study this and come to a decision on how to proceed for an alternative water source,” Allison Swisher, Acting Director of Public Works told members of the council during a pre-council meeting. After requesting bids in the spring, city staff recommended the firm Crawford, Murphy and Tilly (CMT) to provide professional engineering services for phase one of the project. CMT’s proposal includes plans to work

with two subcontractors to research river, groundwater, and Lake Michigan alternatives for the city’s water supply. The project would be divided into multiple phases, beginning with stakeholder engagement and strategic planning, as well as water demand projections, water conservation efforts, and identification of viable alternatives. “We really want this phase of the student to answer the question, which of these alternatives are going to be able to provide the amount of water that we need, as well as, is the water that will be provided of a quality water source,” Swisher said. Swisher said phase one would take place during the remainder of 2018, where the city would identify water needs based on population projections and other available information. This phase will include individual meetings with the mayor and council, public relations and the creation of a community advisory committee. Swisher said the city is looking for a long-term solution to its water needs. “We want to look for a 100-year solution, so that the money we’re investing into this alternative water source is not short term,” she said. Staff has currently identified 14 possible alternative water sources, which include tapping into a deeper aquifer, aquifer storage, drawing water from river sources including the Des Plaines, Kankakee, Fox and Illinois Rivers, as well as drawing from Lake Michigan.
Mayor Bob O’Dekirk asked if the decision making could be simplified. “We know there are about 14 different options. We need you to come back with three or four viable options, the best three, and let the public and the city council working with the public to come to a decision,” O’Dekirk said. Other council members said discussions held over the past year have indicated that a future water supply would ultimately come down to a river source or Lake Michigan. Council members wondered if it makes sense to investigate additional options, such as groundwater, if they are not viable from the get go. “I don’t need to interview a blind man to know that he can’t be a proofreader,” said Alderman Larry Hug. Other members of the council were in favor of exploring all options, provided there is sufficient transparency in the process. Staff noted that a combination of water sources may be the best option, so the city would draw its primary water from one source but have a secondary source for emergency and backup needs. Phase one will take place January through December 2018 and will include detailed analysis of the viable options, as well as tabulate costs for construction of transmission mains. Actual bidding of the construction projects would follow. The council tabled the vote to award the first phase of the contract until the July 17 regular meeting. Phase one is estimated to cost $278,700.

VILLAGE NEWS >> SHOREWOOD
Board addresses facility needs New public works building, PD under consideration BY MARNEY SIMON Enterprise Staff @PlainfieldNews news@enterprisepublications.com
Village leaders are looking for a way to run some of the departments paid for by tax dollars more efficiently. On June 12, Ron McGrath of Tria Architecture presented findings of a facility needs assessment to the village board for the public works department and the police department, as well as a needs assessment for an indoor recreation center. Tria came up with the following suggestions for the village: Public Works The village currently operates its public works department out of five separate sites. According to McGrath, several of the buildings are too small for the village’s needs, and the separate sites affect efficiency. “One of the big problems with the public works department in general is the fact that it is spread out around town and in the five different sites, which does cause a lot of inefficiency in staff having to get to one place to get a vehicle, then drive to another site to get certain tools, and then maybe drive to a third site to get parts,” McGrath said. “They spend a lot of time driving around from place to place, plus you have a lot of vehicles and a lot of equipment that are stored outside, which is not good for their life expectancy.” Tria developed site plan for a single, 87,664 square foot building on Mound Road, which would house administrative offices, salt storage, salt tanks, rinse area, dumpster area, covered storage, covered dump, vehicle storage and parking. The building would cost an estimated $10 million to construct. In addition to streamlining the public works facilities, McGrath noted that three of the five sites currently in use are in a TIF district, and one is inside a prime retail district. That means sale of those properties could net the village significant cash.
Police McGrath said an analysis of the police department showed the current station on Jefferson Street is inadequately sized to serve the current staffing, and spaces and rooms inside the building do not support future growth. “The main lobby is not as secure as it could be or should be, there’s a lot of doors into the lobby, there’s a hallway you can’t see very well from the reception counter,” McGrath said. “Record storage as well as most of the storage in the building is too small, there’s not enough space to store everything they need, not enough storages rooms. You have to co-mingle storage between files and records and personal effects and office supplies end up stacking up in the same storage room.” McGrath also noted that the roll call room, roll call, offices and training rooms are too small and not as modern as they could be. Tria made the assessment looking at the long-term needs of the police department, anticipating growth over the next 40 years. Tria suggested development of a 59,000 square foot basement consisting of two floors and a basement/lower level, with a training room that doubles as an emergency operations center, community space that can double as local traffic court, a shooting range, storage and separate parking for police and the public. The board approved a land
purchase in May that could house a future police station. “Police stations are much more complex buildings that a public works building,” McGrath said. “There’s a lot of infrastructure, a lot more walls, the detention areas are a lot more expensive to build. So, the square footage cost for a police station is a lot higher.” The estimate for the new station is $29 million. Tria Architecture recommended that the public works facility be the village’s first priority. The police department will need upgraded space within the next five to ten years. Community Center Tria Architecture also conducted a needs analysis for a community center and indoor recreation center. A community survey showed that 59 percent of respondents were in favor of an indoor recreation center with amenities such as a walking track, a fitness center, pool, and gymnasium. Per the report, while a recreation center has a lot of community report, construction and furnishing the building would cost roughly $20 million with a pool, and $16 million without a pool. Maintenance, operations and staffing would add to annual costs. McGrath told the board a rec center falls between a need and a want for the village, however, it would likely be a lower priority for the board, versus a new police department or public works building.

GUEST COLUMN
Ronald Reagan’s ‘quintessential’ story began at Eureka College Reagan graduated from Eureka College in 1932 BY LENORE SOBOTA OF THE PANTAGRAPH Illinois may be known as the Land of Lincoln, but it’s another president with Illinois roots who offers lessons to which people today can more easily relate, say officials of Ronald Reagan’s alma mater. Reagan graduated from Eureka College in 1932. He went on to become a sports broadcaster, movie and television actor, governor of California and the 40th president of the United States. “The Reagan story is the quintessential Illinois story,” said Michael Murtagh, the college’s vice president for institutional advancement. “He is a person who came from small-town Illinois and made a difference in the world.” As noted by Mike Thurwanger, head of the Reagan Leadership Program at the college: “One of the things he offers is the understanding that an individual from humble beginnings can rise to a position where he has an impact on the world.” While not downgrading the importance of Abraham Lincoln, Murtagh notes: “Lincoln grew up in a log cabin. … People can’t relate to that.” Reagan, on the other hand, faced financial struggles, went to college on a “needy student” scholarship while also working, and had a father with a drinking problem, said Murtagh. “His life struggles exemplify many of the life struggles our students still face,” he said. “He is proof that you can overcome that kind of thing. Reagan’s life is something students can relate to.” Thurwanger said Reagan’s “Midwestern and Illinois values colored the way he approached things” and even some of his critics would like to see a return to some of what he was known for, such as his ability to “work across the aisle, which we don’t seem to be doing today.” Signs of Reagan’s life both before and after his graduation remain on campus — and not just in the Reagan
Museum that opened in 1994 in the Cerf Center. There is the chapel where Reagan gave his first speech as a college freshman. “The chapel hasn’t changed a lot,” said Murtagh “The pews have been removed but the feel is still there.” But for Murtagh, “The Reagan Peace Garden stands out for me.” Dedicated in May 2000, the garden contains a bronze bust of a smiling Reagan by artist Lonnie Steward and a 5-by-4-foot section of the Berlin Wall, given by the Federal Republic of Germany. Around the base that holds the bust are quotes from Reagan’s 1982 commencement address, at which he outlined his plans for seeking peace with the Soviet Union and for strategic arms reduction, with a goal of “dismantling the nuclear menace.” “Peace is not the absence of conflict but the ability to cope with conflict by peaceful means,” reads one of the quotes. The impact of Reagan teaming with Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev to end the Cold War is not lost on Thurwanger and Murtagh. “Both of us are Cold War veterans,” said Thurwanger, noting that he and Murtagh each served in the military for 20 years. “I’m not sure the current generation has a full grasp of his importance” in ending the Cold War. A plaque in front of the section of the Berlin Wall contains the famous quote from Reagan’s 1987 visit to West Berlin: “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.” Gorbachev dismissed the role that Reagan played in the eventual dismantling of the wall. But during a visit to Eureka College in 2009, the former Soviet leader said, “When all is said and done, he was a great man.” Gorbachev is among many dignitaries, including former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, who have visited Eureka College over the years because of the Reagan connection and the efforts of the Ronald Reagan Society at Eureka College to preserve his legacy. Another way that legacy is continued is through the Reagan Leadership Program, which provides scholarships
and mentorships to students. “The idea is to develop their leadership potential,” said Thurwanger. “We use a servant-leader model,” which emphasizes using skills to help others become leaders themselves. He added, “Our goal is developing all students so they leave as leaders.” Speaking at the 1982 commencement, 50 years after his own graduation, Reagan said, “Everything that’s been good in my life began here.” It was a phrase he repeated on several occasions, but it wasn’t just talk. It was at Eureka College that Reagan gave his first speech as a 17-year-old freshman. He called for a vote of the student body on a student strike over a campus dispute with the college president and the board of trustees — a board on which he would later serve as an alumnus A double-major in economics and sociology, Reagan also competed on the football and swim teams, acted in 14 plays, served in student government and was a fraternity member. Reagan admitted his involvement in athletics may have drawn attention away from academics. “Even now I wonder what I’d have accomplished if I’d studied harder,” he quipped in that 1982 commencement speech, during his first term in the White House. But involvement in such multiple activities continues to be encouraged at Eureka. Calling such involvement “a critical component” of Reagan’s education, Murtagh said, “Students more than ever need to be participants” to develop their leadership and communications skills. As Reagan said in a 1982 interview with Pantagraph columnist Bill Flick: “One thing about a small school: You can’t hide. Students were drafted into those things and found horizons broadened and found themselves able to do things that they never would have attempted.” Lenore Sobota can be reached at lsobota@ pantagraph.com or on Twitter at @ph_ sobota.

DOYLE
RULES Plainfield North’s Gavin Doyle is 2018 Voyager Media/Charlie Donovan Player of the Year
BY MARK GREGORY Editorial Director @Hear_The_Beard mark@buglenewspapers.com
Heading into the season, Plainfield North had big plans for senior Gavin Doyle. He was all set to be a contributor at the plate, at shortstop and on the mound. However, after five starts and only 13 2/3 innings this season, backup shortstop Jacob Shearer was lost with an ankle injury and Doyle was kept at shortstop. “I was going to throw a lot this year, but our backup shortstop sprained his ankle really bad and we had enough solid arms that they didn’t really need me,” Doyle said. So, while he wasn’t able to help the Tigers on the rubber, he did so at the plate and in the field. An excellent defender, Doyle batted .387 on the season. Of his 43 hits, 22 were for extra bases, as he posted 10 doubles, five triples, seven home runs and drove in 41.
He posted a .757 slugging percentage and 1.242 OPS. His play helped Plainfield North win the IHSA Class 4A state title, the first in school history. He was also tabbed as the MVP of the Southwest Prairie Conference, an All-State selection by the Illinois Baseball Coaches Association and is also the 2018 recipient of the Voyager Media Charlie Donovan Baseball Player of the Year award. The award was named in 2017 for Donovan, a former Westmont standout and three-time Voyager Media Player of the Year who died in November of 2015. “You can’t be player of the year without your teammates,” Doyle said of earning the distinction. “They are always on base and our pitching has been outstanding and we are a great team. I know you can count on them – it is a lot of fun. It is a blast playing with the kids I have been playing with since I was literally five years old.” While his stats were great, Doyle brought more to the team than just

Gavin does things that people don’t even see. He moves us defensively, he remembers situational stuff from earlier in the year – he just understands the game and that has been huge,” said Plainfield North coach John Darlington. “He talks to the pitchers, he calms them down, he turns double plays, he is in the right spot 99 percent of the time. He does all
the little things as a baseball player that you want kids to learn and to do and he does a great job with it.” Doyle will continue his career next season at Western Michigan University, where he will go with fellow Tiger, neighbor and friend since three-years-old, Brady Miller. “It will make the transition much better,” Doyle said of playing and rooming with his longtime friend. “In the beginning, we both had offers from Lewis and we talked
about that, then when we both got the offers from Western Michigan, it was over. “(Originally) It was between there or some of the Ivy League schools. When I sat down and talked to the coach, it felt like home and everyone was so welcoming.” Doyle was not only a baseball player at North, as he played basketball and golf as well, and while SEE ALL-AREA PAGE 6

COLUMN >> DAVE SAYS
Money-making hobby is a business DEAR DAVE, I’m retired, and in the past few years I’ve taken up painting. This hobby has begun bringing in more money than I expected. I was wondering at what point I should start
thinking about separating my art money from my personal finances, and look at officially starting a little business. PAT DEAR PAT,
I’d do it now. A hobby that makes money is called a business. Hearing this is scary to some people, but starting a small business doesn’t have to be complicated. You can go to your bank, and TA K E 5 M I N U T E S FOR YOURSELF!
using your Social Security number, open a sole proprietor checking account. Title the account with your full name, then DBA — doing business as — and the name of your business.
All your art income goes into that account, and any expenses paid where your painting is concerned comes out of that account. After the income goes in, and the expenses come out, what’s left is profit. That’s what you’ll end up paying taxes on. Also, you’ll be required to do quarterly estimates and send them to the IRS if you make more than $640 in a quarter. Always remember to always hold back 25 percent for taxes, too, in a separate savings account just for this purpose. This is really cool, Pat. I think you’re on the verge of being very successful! —DAVE
