Joliet looks to recruit Shorewood resident becomes forest new census takers preserve’s 1st female police chief

Applications are available at Human Resources, City of Joliet offices

The city of Joliet has contracted with the U. S. Census Bureau to conduct a special census within portions of the community.

The census will occur during late summer and will primarily focus upon the westernmost portion of Joliet that has experienced high growth since 2010. Accounting for increased population allows the city to collect additional revenues from the State of Illinois which

helps support police, fire and public works services within Joliet.

The city is assisting the Census Bureau with recruitment of census takers. Prospective applicants must be at least 18 years of age; pass a written test of basic skills, pass a criminal background check, be able to work days, evenings and weekends, and work 25 to 40 hours each week. Census takers will work for approximately 30 days once the Census begins. The pay range is $11.99 to $16.49 per hour.

Applications are available at Human Resources, City of Joliet, 150 W. Jefferson Street, Joliet, Illinois, or at the website: www.cityofjoliet. info/departments/humanresources. The U. S. Census Bureau is an Equal Opportunity Employer.

Landlord Conference to be held July 11-12 Susan Miller was announced as the keynote speaker at the City of Joliet Annual Free Landlord Conference.

Miller currently manages the Coldwell Banker Honig- Bell McHenry office, along with actively listing and selling in her marketplace of Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin.

Licensed since 1987, Miller has been involved at all levels of the realtor profession.

The free Joliet Landlord Conference will be held at the Jacob Henry Mansion Victorian Ballroom, 15 S. Richards St., Joliet.

Tracy Chapman was hired in 2004 within police department of Forest Preserve District Bugle/Sentinel Staff Since being hired in 2004, Tracy Chapman has claimed a number of “firsts” within the police department for the Forest Preserve District of Will County.

She served as the district’s first master patrol officer, as well as its first K-9 handler, and now she can add chief of police to her resume. Chapman became the department’s first female police chief June 30. Chapman replaces 27-year veteran Robert Murphy, who retired June 29 after leading the department for seven years.

Ralph Schultz, chief operating officer for the forest preserve district, said Chapman’s experience within the department made her the logical choice.

“She is well respected by her

Tracy Chapman Forest Preserve District of Will County Police Chief

peers and the forest preserve’s leadership,” he added.

Forest Preserve Board President Suzanne Hart said Chapman’s years as the department’s second highest ranking officer will provide a smooth transition within the department.

“I know Chief Chapman will do a fantastic job, because she’s already shown what a great leader she can be throughout her career

with the district,” Hart said. “It’s a great benefit to the forest preserve to promote our own, especially someone with so much talent and drive.”

Since 2009, Chapman has held the rank of lieutenant. She also has served as president and vice president of the Illinois Park Law Enforcement Association.

Chapman said there is something special about working for the forest preserve district.

“I love this department,” she said. “We’re smaller, but we get things done. We can go home at the end of the day and feel we have accomplished something.”

Additionally, Dave Barrios was promoted from sergeant to lieutenant, and Bob Veron was promoted from master patrol officer to sergeant. Sgts.

Reggie McCrary and Steve Dow will continue to work in their supervisory roles, according to the district.

Area first-responders get bump from Firehouse foundation Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation shows support for fire department

By Bugle Staff The Lockport Township Fire Department was among five area public safety organizations presented a check from the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation during the Joliet Slammers’ June 25 home game.

The sandwich chain’s nonprofit organization provides funding, equipment and educational opportunities to first responders and public safety organizations.

Firehouse Subs teamed up with the Joliet Slammers to raise money for the foundation during a special promotion last month.

Additionally, three participating Firehouse Subs restaurants in Joliet, Orland Park and Wheaton also helped raise funds leading up to the June 25 home game for a silent auction with items such as a player’s jersey in a display shadowbox and a luxury suite certificate good to accommodate up to 20 guests at a future Slammers game.

Before the game, Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation presented five local public safety organizations with check the foundation says represents the $89,867 worth of lifesaving equipment it has donated.

The benefiting organizations are

the Northwest Homer Fire District, Lockport Township Fire Department, AllenForce, Coal City Fire Protection District and Manhattan Fire Protection District.

By Daniel Smrokowski Bugle Columnist On July 23, members of the community will come together to celebrate the 13th annual Disability Pride Parade in Chicago. This year’s theme is “Continuing the Drive: Inclusion Matters.”

The parade is a day for the community to come together and celebrate those with and without special needs. It’s a day where we can come together to include those of us with differences. It’s a day where we can accept people for who they are and change attitudes to appreciate the uniqueness in each person.

Last year, I had the opportunity to attend the Disability Pride Parade with my alma mater, Roosevelt University, marching with the Academic Success

By Daniel Smrokowski Bugle Columnist Center’s disability services office.

In addition to our group, there were approximately 60 other organizations from access living groups to other therapeuticandsupportiveorganizations for those with special needs walking in the parade.

As our group marched in the parade, we all wore bright green T-shirts with the words “Label Clothes, Not People” displayed on the front. On the back of our shirts was the letter “R” for Roosevelt University and “Academic Success Center.” I personally feel much gratitude towards Roosevelt and towards the embracing support of the Academic Success Center during my years as a

student and beyond.

The Disability Pride Parade was “a great day of community, ability and joyfulness for who people are,” said Nancy Litke, director of the Academic Success Center at Roosevelt University.

“To celebrate the lives of people with and without disabilities but mostly to showcase the ability side and how we are a better world with more diversity.”

As a community, we can truly come together and be proud for the abilities and joy that those of us with special needs bring to our community.

This year, let us remember how as a community we can celebrate the abilities that those of us with special needs bring to the world.

Join us at this year’s Disability Pride Parade to celebrate inclusion in our community. The parade kicks off at 11 a.m. July 23 at 401 S. Plymouth Court in Chicago.

[editor’s Note: Approximately 65 illinois daily and weekly newspapers are running editorials through the beginning of July on the need for an end to the state budget standoff.

The State Journal-register editorial board shared this editorial days before the General Assembly announced June 30 that it had passed a stopgap budget.]

Illinois’ budget standoff must be resolved, and must be resolved now.

Whether or not our leaders manage to pass a stopgap funding measure this week, Illinois still needs the stability of a full budget to restore the health of our state and its economy.

For a year, our state’s elected leaders have engaged in what can only be called political malpractice.

Illinois is the only state in the country that doesn’t have a budget. For a year,

not time for smiles, back slapping The smiles and back slapping after passage of the Illinois stopgap budget last night shows just how seriously low our standards have fallen.

Legislators seem to think that the community of human service agencies can cope with getting paid 65 cents on the dollar as reimbursement for services already provided under signed contracts.

Legislators point to the good in Senate Bill 2047. State government now has the authority to pass through federal dollars to human service agencies so that services like Home Delivered Meals can continue. Tax revenues dedicated to human services which have been languishing in the “Commitment for Human Services Trust Fund,” all year are finally being released.

But a 65 percent appropriation will not prevent the shutdown of human service programs. Programs like Centers for Independent Living, addiction prevention, supportive housing and mental health community services will suffer.

The United Way of Illinois’s June 22 budget survey reports

that 91 percent of agencies are cutting clients, leaving nearly one million people in Illinois without critical services.

Legislators tell us to wait until January for new revenues.

But in the meantime our backlog of bills will continue to grow and our human service infrastructure will continue to shrivel.

Waiting only increases the amount of revenue we need, or absentmindedly walks us into cuts our state cannot sustain.

The result: community based human services will shrink.

Summer and afterschool programs for children and youth will close, leading to an uptick in violence and substance abuse in our cities, our suburbs, and our rural areas. People with mental health problems will lose needed supports and become homeless. Institutional spending for nursing homes, hospital care and correctional facilities will skyrocket.

Illinois is a proud, strong state. We are the state of Abraham Lincoln. How can this be our new standard?

golf review

Elk’s Club in Pontiac is a steal

By Scott Taylor sports editor

staylor@enterprisepublications.com @Taylor_Sports

I was given a scoop on a course down south, so I had to check it out.

The Pontiac Elks Lodge and Golf Course is the farthest south we have traveled for a review and we were not disappointed.

It is a semiprivate course, which offers membership rates for both Elks members ($725) and non-Elk members ($1,025). Those prices include unlimited golf, but do not include cart fees, which are $16 for 18 holes.

Green fees are cheap at just $22 during the week and $26 on weekends and holidays, making it a steal of a weekend tee time.

With those prices, some may assume the course isn’t kept up well, but that is not the case. The course was fast and firm and the greens were in very good shape.

With all of the slopes, the greens were among the hardest I’ve played on. Rarely was there a straight putt and if you had one, you were either putting uphill or downhill. It was also imperative to be on the right

portion of the green. If the pin was in the front of the green and you were in the back, it was a long, downhill putt, making it a difficult three-putt. It is also important to not short-side yourself around the green or the prospects of making it up-and-down for the average player are slim to none.

As for the course layout, the first hole is a 389-yard par-4 that doglegs left. It is important to keep to the right side of the fairway with your drive as a large, mature tree hangs over the left side of the fairway, blocking the green. The second hold is 360 yards with water all down the left side and a large amount of trees on the right side.

The third hole is a 479-yard par-5.

It is definitely reachable in two, but the second shot is difficult as the hole doglegs right near the green, making you carry trees to hit the green. A safe layup to the left side of the fairway is a smart play. That is followed by a 176-yard par-3 over water, with a severely sloped green.

Garner headlines all area baseball team

By Scott Taylor sports editor

staylor@enterprisepublications.com @Taylor_Sports

After two successful seasons at the varsity level, Plainfield North’s Josh Garner was going to take no opponent by surprise this year.

However, he did step up his game to a new level, leading the Tigers to state for the first time in program history.

His success this past year has made Garner the 2016 Voyager Media Baseball Player of the Year.

“In the offseason I put more time in and started a new routine,” Garner said. “It helped me because I becamemoreconsistentthroughout the season. I couldn’t have done this without my teammates It was such

a great group of guys.”

For the year Garner went 7-1 with a 1.35 ERA with 67 strikeouts on the mound. At the plate he batted .410 with 12 doubles, four homers and 44 RBI. “Josh has been a three-year starter for us,” North coach Dan Darlington said. “He has been voted the SPC baseball MVP. Josh is a very competitive kid and it shows every time he takes the mound.”

Perhaps the most memorable performance of the season for Garner came in the sectional semifinal game against Plainfield Central.

He got the start in the game and was pulled in the fourth inning and the Tigers trailed 7-0 at one point in the game.

However, he came up big offensively down the stretch, with three RBI hits, including the gamewinner in the bottom of the seventh to keep the season alive.

“I was pretty shocked,” Garner said. “We had to focus and I had to give my team a spark and get us back in the game. I didn’t feel any pressure.”

Garner will now continue his baseball career at St. Louis University, where he is projected to be a starting pitcher, although he hopes he can crack the lineup as a hitter as well.

The rest of the Voyager Media All-Area Baseball team consists of:

KONNOR ASH Plainfield South junior went 9-3 with a 1.60 ERA and 87 strikeouts, while picking up regional and sectional final victories. Batted .316 with 20 RBI.

JOE BUTLER Minooka senior was a key cog for the regional champs, batting .354 with 12 doubles, 17 RBI and a .452 on base percentage.

“He’s a five-tool player and can do it all,” Minooka coach Jeff Petrovic said. “He has a great arm and great range. He has tons of power and is a really nice player.”

MATT BUNETTA Plainfield Central senior was a three-year starter for the Wildcats.

He batted .405 with 11 doubles and 29 RBI. “He has been a rock behind the plate,” Central coach John Rosner

He has been an anchor at the three spot in the lineup for the Wildcats as well, leading us in virtually every category. He started off the year reaching base in his first 12 plate appearances, and has continued to come up with clutch hit after clutch hit for us.”

SAM BUTERA Niles West ace went 5-1 on the mound with a 1.02 ERA and 49

strikeouts.

BRANDON CALLENDER Ace from Plainfield Central went 5-4 on the mound with a 2.10 ERA, striking out 46. At the plate batted .316 with seven doubles and 20 RBI. “Brandon has been our ace on the mound for the second consecutive year,” Rosner said. “His ability to throw three pitches consistently for strikes has made him near unhittable at times. He only gave up 12 earned runs in the conference season, and he pitched much better

He has delivered several gamewinning hits throughout the year.”

ANTHONY COCCO

on the year with a 1.06 ERA and 85 strkeouts. Got the win in the sectional championship game.

“Brady is a very confident player and feels that we are going to win every time he pitches,” Darlington said. “He is committed to Arizona State University.”

LUKE DEBENEDETTI

A senior from Lockport, Cocco hit .348 with 11 doubles, three triples, four homers, 32 RBI and 29 runs scored.

“Anthony led our team in every category on offense while providing steady defense in our middle infield,” Lockport coach Andy Satunas said. “He was a three-year starter for our varsity team and was someone everyone on our team followed due to his leadership and work ethic.”

Joliet Central senior hit .382 with 12 doubles, four homers and 18 RBI, while scoring 25 runs.

“Luke has been an integral part of our program for the past four years and will be continuing his baseball career at Joliet Junior College,” Joliet Central coach Kevin Fitzgerald said. “Luke was the starting varsity shortstop for three years and also at the top of the order in the lineup. Luke was the most consistent player on our team and has the stats to back it up.”

BRADY CORRIGAN

DREW DEMUMBRUM

Plainfield North junior went 10-2

A senior from Plainfield East,

DeMumbrum overcame an injury to help lead the Bengals to their first regional title. He batted .372 with seven doubles, four triples, two homers and 19 RBI. On the mound he went 4-1 with a 1.167 ERA and 23 strikeouts.

“He has been with me since freshmen year and is one of the best all around players in the area,” East coach Adam O’Reel said. “He gets it done on the mound, at the plate, defensively and on the base paths.

One of the best athletes to come through East.”

JOE DONOVAN Westmont junior hit .523 with 11 doubles, four triples, 10 homers, 44 RBI and scored 56 runs.

“Joe broke the single season

record for batting average and also tied his single season home run record from 2015. One of the best players in the state and is committed to Michigan.”

JAKE DUNHAM Catcher from Plainfield North hit .422 with 10 doubles and 23 RBI in his senior season for the Tigers.

“Jake has been a three-year starter,” Darlington said. “He is one of the best catchers we have ever had here at Plainfield North. He is a leader on and off the field. He is committed to Northern Illinois University.”

NICK ENLOE Junior from Plainfield South hit .370 with seven doubles, 25 RBI and

20 runs scored.

DRAKE FELLOWS The Joliet Catholic senior capped his stellar career with an 8-1 record to go with a 1.00 ERA and 93 strikeouts. Also went .424 at the plate with five doubles and 26 RBI.

SAM FERRI Senior from Notre Dame is an Arizona State University commit and a four-year starter. He batted .412 with eight doubles and 24 RBI. “One of the most advanced baseball players in the state as far as approach and handling a pitching staff,” Notre Dame coach Nelson Gord said. “Understands the game

RYAN GABRIEL Lockport pitcher went 6-1 with a 2.05 ERA and 32 strikeouts.

“Ryan led our pitching staff with six wins as a junior,” Satunas said. “His ability to compete on the mound against one of the toughest schedules in the state made him one of the best junior pitchers in the area.”

DAVID GIULIANO Downers North outfielder hit .345 with 12 doubles and 14 RBI and scored 25 runs.

“David was our leadoff hitter the entire you and he helped set the tone for our team,” DGN coach Chad Isaacson said. “He had a great run in the postseason with leadoff home runs against Wheaton south and Hinsdale South.”

MICHAEL GUNNART Despite missing several games during the year, Gunnart still led Niles West with a .400 average to go along with six doubles, three triples, five homers and 21 RBI on the season.

JORDAN JACKSON Batted .418 with six doubles, eight homers, 29 RBI and 27 runs scored for Bolingbrook.

“Jordan had an outstanding year at the plate,” Bolingbrook coach Scott Thyer said. “He worked extremely hard in the offseason and he had a great junior year thanks to his great work ethic.”

elks | from page 9 my favorite. It is a downhill par-4, playing 378 yards with a treelined background. Water comes in to play on the left off the tee, but I thought there was plenty of room right.

There is a large bunker guarding the green, which I guess makes the hole more difficult than I think.

The sixth hole is a par-4 at 397 yards, which has a bit of a dogleg right. The seventh hole has a slight bend right and plays at 538 yards.

No. 8 is a 215-yard par-3 with water to the right and bunkers guarding the front sides of the green, making it a very difficult hole. The ninth hole doglegs left with a bunker down the lefthand side to guard against cutting off the dogleg. It is possible to carry it, but a pushed attempt right can run through the fairway into the water.

At just 344 yards, the second nine starts with a shorter par-3, which

seven wins and 63 strikeouts with a 1.32 ERA for Downers South.

JEREMIAH LEBRON Batted .519 with eight doubles, six homer and 26 RBI, adding 27 runs scored for Bolingbrook.

“Jeremiah was one of the best hitters in the area and always puts the ball in play hard,” Thyer said.

AUSTIN MAROZAS Hard-throwing junior from Plainfield South, Marozas was clocked at 90 miles per hour in the supersectional game and pitched in four of the Cougars’ five playoff games. He went 6-2 with a .89 ERA and had 74 strikeouts.

JACOB NAGEL Nagel,apitcherfromBolingbrook, went 7-2 with a 2.07 ERA and 47 strikeouts.

“Pitched a no-hitter vs.

every play and loves to win.”

NICK STEFANOWICZ Senior from Notre Dame went 7-1 with a 1.47 ERA and had 49 strikeouts.

“Nick wants the ball every day,” Gord said. “He fits perfect into our system because he is a great contact pitcher who gets in and out of innings pretty quick with his four-pitch mix.”

RANKO STEVANOVIC Notre Dame senior hit .456 with 33 RBI, eight doubles, three triples and three homers, while scoring 35 times.

“Mostly a corner infielder throughout his career who stepped up to the challenge and played a great SS for us this season,” Gord said. “Team leader in most offensive categories and brings the energy every day.”

ALEX TASSOS Benet’s leader batted .406 with four homers and 26 RBI for the regional champs.

DANNY ORIENTE

ALEX TIBBLE

Downers South senior and Louisville recruit hit .506 with 33 RBI and 37 runs scored, while stealing 25 bases.

JUSTIN YEAGER

Four-year varsity starter at Notre Dame hit .422 with 13 doubles, three triples, 29 RBI and 31 runs scored.

“In addition to being one of our top offensive producers, he played a stellar third base and recently took over behind the plate for Sam Ferri and has handled our staff without skipping a beat,” Gord said. “All out

Senior outfielder from Plainfield North batted .368 with seven doubles and scored 26 runs for the Tigers.

doglegs right. A great drive can lead to a very short approach shot if you can cut the dogleg around the trees.

No. 11 is a 509-yard par-5 that has a bunker in the middle of the fairway under 100 yards from the green, making your layup strategy more important.

The 12th hole is one of the straightest holes you will find on the course and that is followed bar a 128-yard par-3. The 14th hole is a difficult par-4 that has a sharp dogleg right. But it is hard to cut the dogleg with a pond to the right of the fairway. Bailing out left could lead to driving it through the fairway or into houses to the left. An iron off the tee may be the safest play, but at 391 yards, that would lead to a long approach shot.

A par-5 follows at 529 yards. On this day it played down wind and was reachable in two. However, there is a pond to the front right

of the green and the subtle dogleg right leads to many fairway shots going into the rough off the tee. The 16th hole is a 216-yard par-3 with bunkers on both sides of the green.

The 17th is a dogleg left, which leads to my other favorite hole, the 355-yard, par-4 final hole. It is a dogleg left over water and downhill, but you need to be on the right side of the fairway as trees block the green on the left side. The green is fairly hidden and the easy play is to hit the practice green (which I did after being blocked by the tree).

While this course is a long drive (especially if you are in the north suburbs) it is well worth the trip. It not only costs less than many of the suburban courses, there is less play on it, meaning the chances of a long round are slim. Especially for the price on the weekends, this is well worth taking an extra hour trip to play.

Dave Says

No more guilt trips Dear Dave, My parents left their six-figure jobs to enter the ministry when I was in high school. That was 10 years ago, and my mom still regularly asks me to share my money with them.

I don’t mind helping out once in awhile, but this has been going on for a long time and I’ve started feeling bitterness about the requests and their bad financial decisions.

My mom also tries to make me feel bad sometimes if I can’t afford to give them as much as they want. She constantly references their calling, and that I should want to help with that. How can I stop this pattern?

enough | from page 7 because of that failure, it has stiffed small businesses, social service agencies and its higher education system, leaving them trying to operate without money they’re owed. State operations have been cobbled together through a patchwork of court orders, and the state gets deeper in debt by the minute.

Gov. Bruce Rauner said June 27 the state was on the verge of crisis, and that it would be an “outrageous, tragic failure” if schools don’t open on time this fall.

With all due respect, Governor, the state is already in crisis and the budget standoff has already been an “outrageous, tragic failure.”

A stopgap may delay imminent emergency and we desperately need that. But it’s still not enough.

As legislators return to Springfield today – for the first time this month – Illinois’ historic, serious problems have been made even worse by the failure to compromise on a balanced, long-term spending plan.

The political war between Rauner and House Speaker Michael Madigan has been confounding and unconscionable. Rauner has insisted on passage of the so-called Turnaround Agenda, a series of probusiness measures, as a condition of the budget. Madigan and Senate President John Cullerton have seemed focused primarily on thwarting the governor.

Neither the governor nor the legislature has put forth a balanced budget. Decades of delaying action and willfully ignoring issues like the state’s epically ballooning pension obligations have devastated its financial stability. The state must

make cuts, and yes, more revenue will be needed to stanch the economic bleeding.

The consequences of having no budget have been harsh and farreaching.

The state’s colleges and universities, which ought to be linchpins for growth and economic development, instead have been starved. Hundreds have been laid off, programs have been shuttered.

High school graduates look at this mess, fear for their future, and enroll in out-of-state colleges. Our best and brightest may not come back after they complete their education elsewhere.

Meanwhile, more than 130,000 low-income students have had financial aid snatched away. Do these students who wish to better themselves and their future job prospects through education have other resources to continue? In most cases, no.

One million of Illinois’ most vulnerable people -- the poor, the at-risk kids, the elderly, the mentally ill, the homeless, the victims of domestic abuse or sexual assault -have been directly harmed by the state’s dereliction of duty, as social service agencies cut services.

Hospitals and medical providers are owed hundreds of millions in unpaid state employee medical bills and delayed Medicaid payments.

Countless business owners, large and small, have struggled to survive because they haven’t been paid. Cities and small towns have been left holding the bag for unpaid state bills. And yet, it could get even worse. More than $2 billion in active road construction projects might be shut down, leading to as many as 25,000 workers losing their jobs.

The state’s corrections system says

in the process. The relationship has become strained, and that’s a tough thing for anyone to deal with – especially in a parent-child situation. On top of all that, your mom sounds like a travel agent for guilt trips. It seems like she’s working you over while implying it’s all really for God. That’s toxic.

Going into the ministry is an admirable thing. However, I remember a guy in the Bible named Paul who made tents while he conducted his ministry. I’m paraphrasing, of course, but his line was something like, “If you don’t work, you don’t eat.” He had a

it’s on the verge of not being able to feed inmates and operate prisons.

Social services agencies will continue to turn away the ill, the homeless, the elderly.

The state’s schools were spared last year by a separate appropriation.

But this year, many districts face the very real possibility of not opening or not being able to stay open.

But what have citizens seen from the Capitol? We have seen political posturing. We have seen a governor who campaigned as a practical business leader dedicated to finding fixes instead act as an ideological purist. We have seen elected representatives apparently unable to stand up to Madigan, Cullerton and Rauner to demand a resolution to the crisis. We have not seen compromise.

Perhaps the most damaging longterm effect is the toxic cynicism and frustration this crisis has created among its residents, who have to wonder at this point if Rauner, Madigan and Cullerton simply view the toll on Illinois’ people as mere collateral damage. At a recent Better Government Association panel on the impasse’s impact, multiple social service providers said flatly they don’t believe leaders care about their plight. Many longterm changes are needed to restore Illinois to solid ground. Redistricting reform is a critical piece of restoring true political competitiveness that will lead to legislators facing more accountability to the voters they represent. But the day has come.

Illinois’ people cannot be held hostage for a second year without a budget. Voters must revolt and demand better.

Enough.

job, remember? So, suggesting that someone work outside the ministry while trying to do God’s work isn’t mean or unfair.

No one should do this to their child, and it’s going to be hard to unravel it all and turn it into a respectable situation. I hope everyone will consider sitting down with a mature third party, and developing a situation where you’re no longer giving or lending them money.

7 ways to make mornings less hectic Making mornings less hectic involves a few different strategies that parents and kids can easily incorporate

Opt for school lunch a few times Look ahead on the school lunch menu and speak with children about which meals they enjoy. Let kids purchase school lunch on those days to give yourself a day off from lunch detail.

Have quick breakfast foods available Smoothies, cereal bars, oatmeal, and whole-grain cereals are fast and nutritious ways to start the day.

Many families find the rush is on to make it to school and work on time each morning. Feeling rushed in the morning is a recipe for added stress. Rushing through things is a poor way to begin a day, and those feelings of uneasiness can put a damper on the rest of the day ahead. Making mornings less hectic involves a few different strategies that parents and kids can easily incorporate into their daily routines.

again. A few extra minutes each morning can make you feel more relaxed and make for a smooth, stress-free start to the day.

Wake up slightly earlier Getting up earlier than normal, even if it’s just 15 to 20 minutes before you’re accustomed to getting out of bed, can help reduce morning stress. Resist the temptation to hit the snooze button over and over

Get some work done the night before Prepare lunches the night before and have them ready in the refrigerator. In addition, lay your clothes for the following day out each night. This saves time and

takes a couple more things off your morning to-do list.

Ease back into a routine As a new school year dawns or a long vacation comes to an end, begin going to bed earlier and start waking up earlier as well. This can make the transition from carefree mornings to busy mornings go more smoothly.

Prep backpacks in the evening Look through folders, sign paperwork, check assignments, and do whatever is you need to do the night before to save your family from having to scramble in the morning.

This ensures those permission slips get signed and items make it back into school bags.

Carpool whenever possible Busy families can save themselves extra work by proposing a neighborhood carpool. Sharing school dropoff detail frees time up for parents once or twice a week, and kids may enjoy traveling to school with their friends.

Mornings can be tricky when family members are getting ready for school and work at the same time. By practicing a few daily rituals, it’s possible to curb the rush and start the day happier and more relaxed.
