Library to tweak unattended children policy Policy clean up clariﬁes responsibility and supervision BY IGOR STUDENKOV Bugle Staff @BugleNewspapers nweditor@buglenewspapers.com

The Niles-Maine Public Library Board of Trustees voted unanimously to approve some changes to the library’s policy regarding unattended children during its Nov. 15 meeting. The changes came out of a discussion that took place during the Oct. 18 meeting. The trustees and staff talked about how young the children have to be in order to be unattended – something that is especially relevant given that many kids from the nearby Culver Elementary School wind up coming to the building once the classes are over. The resolution that was ultimately voted on more clearly spells out what the library is responsible for, what the parents are responsible for and emphasizes that children who are in second grade or younger must be supervised by a parent, a guardian or “a responsible person” at all times. As Arianne Carey, the library’s Youth Services supervisor explained during the Oct. 18 meeting, the main issue is how the staff should handle kids who are in the library for prolonged periods of time. She explained that the minimum age of supervision is based on grade rather than age because of the Culver students. The library staff can see when they’re coming because they tend to arrive in groups based on grade, so it’s easy to figure out who requires supervision under the policy and who doesn’t.

However, if the library set the limit based on age, the staff would have to figure out how old each child is – and, because children may have birthdays while they’re attending a grade, checking ages becomes that much more complicated. Carey explained that while the state law says that younger kids must be supervised by a “responsible person,” but doesn’t actually define the term. The staff does have an informal standard. “On informal level, an 11-yearold can be in charge of a little kid,” she said. During the meeting, library attorney Dennis Walsh advised the board that, unlike a school, the library staff doesn’t have “in loco parentis” authority. In other hands, they don’t act as guardians for the kids while they’re on the premises. The resolution that went before the board on Nov. 15 was based on Walsh’s suggestions during the previous meeting. While the previous version of the policy simply stated that the library staff isn’t responsible for children, the newly approved version explicitly states that parents are the ones who are responsible for children’s supervision and safety. And while the previous version of the policy stated that kids who haven’t reached first grade “should” be supervised, the new version states they “must” be supervised, and specifies that the “responsible person” should always be present. The policy also tweaked the language dealing with misbehavior. While the previous ver-

“I don’t think it changed the substance of what our policy is, but it certainly gives us some disclaimers ... This is probably a good clean-up of policy on unattended children.” -NILES LIBRARY BOARD TRUSTEE KAREN DIMOND

sion of the policy says that children are free to use the library so long as they don’t misbehave, the new version adds the language specifying that they can’t violate any library policies. It beefs up the language stating that parents are responsible for disciplining their children, stating that parents should consider the well-being and safety of their children and other patrons alike. It also specifies that, if child does misbehave, librarians can give a warning. If misbehavior persists, the children will be asked to leave the library. As before, kids can ask the library staff to use the phone in KidSpace section if they need to ask their parents/guardians to pick them up. If children who haven’t reached eighth grade are in the library by closing time, the staff would try to reach the parents – if that doesn’t work, the kids get turned over to the police. As the new policy came up for vote, Niles Library Board Trustee Karen Dimond described it as simply housekeeping. “I don’t think it changed the substance of what our policy is, but it certainly gives us some disclaimers.” she said. “This is probably a good clean-up of policy on unattended children.”

Former trustee running for County Board Niles business owner Krzystof “Chris” Hanusiak is aiming for a higher ofﬁce on Cook County Board BY IGOR STUDENKOV Bugle Staff @BugleNewspapers nweditor@buglenewspapers.com

Two years after he lost his seat on the Village of Niles Board of Trustees, Niles business owner Krzystof “Chris” Hanusiak is aiming for a higher office – a seat on the Cook County Board of Commissioners. He is the only Republican candidate running to represent the 13th District, which includes the Niles Township portion of Niles, as well as Morton Grove, Skokie, most of the county’s North Shore suburbs near Lake Michigan and Chicago’s Rogers Park and West Ridge neighborhoods. Hanusiak told the Bugle that he decided to run because he was concerned about the way county spends its money, arguing that the taxes are too high and there isn’t nearly enough transparency. If elected, he will face off against whoever wins the Democratic Party primary, where incumbent Larry Suffredin is facing off against DePaul University student Bushra Amiwala. Hanusiak is also running for Republican Party committeeman on the Niles Township. Party committeemen work to elect their party’s candidates in the township, take part in the process of slating candidates and vote to fill vacancies created when their party’s candidate leaves office. Hanusiak said that, with the current committeeman retiring, he couldn’t pass up an opportunity to try to get involved with local Republican politics. A native of Lebork, Poland, he came to United States with his family in 1972. After graduating from Carl Schurz High School, he joined the U.S. Navy for a few years, serving in Operation Desert Storm. After his tour ended, he attended Wright City College and University of Illinois at Chicago.

Upon graduating, he worked as a programmer and database administrator for a few companies before striking out on his own, founding Royal Kitchen and Bath Cabinets. Hanusiak and his family moved to Niles in 1998. He became involved in local community. He was one of the residents who led the effort to revive the Friends of the Niles Library, where he currently serves as president. He ran for mayor in 2009 in a first election after long-time mayor Nicholas Blase was convicted of fraud and tax evasion. While Hanusiak lost, his former opponent Robert Callero appointed him to what was then known as the Niles Plan Commission and Zoning Board of Appeals. And after trustee and fellow 2009 mayoral candidate Kim Biederman resigned in Nov. 2009, Callero appointed him to fill the resulting vacancy effective Jan. 26, 2010. Hanusiak subsequently ran to keep his seat during the 2011 election and won. After Callero decided not to run for re-election, he tried running for mayor again during the 2013 election as part of a slate, only to lose to then fellow trustee Andrew Przybylo. Over the next two years, the two clashed on a number of issues, including the Niles inspector general appointment process, the fate of the Leaning Tower of Niles, tax incentives for certain businesses and the way the village handled the referendum that stripped Niles mayors of the power to fill trustee vacancies. Hanusiak ran for re-election in 2015 but lost to Przybylo-backed Niles Forward Party slate. For the next two years, the former trustee didn’t have any involvement in the political process

“I’m sick and tired of a bunch of politicians increasing their power at the expense of the citizens that they should be protecting. Citizens want to know on who and what their tax monies are being spent on. No more voting for billion dollar budgets without details and budgetary analyses... ” - COOK COUNTY BOARD REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE KRZYSTOF “CHRIS” HANUSIAK

save for occasionally commenting during village board meetings. But on Sept. 28, Hanusiak anounced that he would run for Sufferdin’s seat. When asked about why he was running, he didn’t mince words. “I’m sick and tired of a bunch of politicians increasing their power at the expense of the citizens that they should be protecting,” Hanusiak said. “Citizens want to know on who and what their tax monies are being spent on. No more voting for billion dollar budgets without details and budgetary analyses.” The 13th District has been represented by Democrats for the past few decades. Hanusiak said that a major problem with the Democratdominated board was that it tended to vote for “larger budgets to satisfy their political goals.” “I will only support expenses that are proven to be needed by managerial standards not political ones,” he said. Hanusiak said that one of the major ways to reduce costs was to cut “paper-pushing” jobs and reducing administrative costs. He also felt that the county should be using technology to reduce day-to-day expenses. “The court system should use video conferencing for special adjudications to lower costs and also to increase safety,” Hanusiak

said. “The county should be using adjudication officers for nonfelony crimes, instead of using judges, to reduce court caseloads, travel time, security services, etc.” He said that public safety and “services that protect rights of residents and businesses” should be Cook County’s main priorities. Hanusiak believed that the Cook County Health and Hospitals System needs a look. He said that he does support CountyCare – a county-run Medicaid expansion program funded largely through federal dollars as part of the Affordable Care Act – because it helps reduce the county’s healthcare costs on the long run. “The CountyCare system has been working in a positive way by getting preventative care to those that have applied to the system, which then lowers health care costs by not overloading emergency rooms,” Hanusiak said. Over the past few months, both Sufferdin and Amiwala expressed support for the Cook County minimum wage increase, with Sufferdin strongly opposed, while many municipalities – including Niles, Morton Grove and Park Ridge– decided to opt out of it. Hanusiak said that he believed the issue should be left to municipalities. When asked what his priorities would be if elected, Hanu-

siak listed four: developing a plan for property tax relief to stop the out-migration of Cook County homeowners; requiring “constant expenditure analyses” for major budget processes; streamlining management structure to remove “unneeded and redundant” positions; and making the Cook County Assessor’s office an independent agency that would be run by licensed Certified Public Accountants appointed by the county board. Hanusiak said that he is currently in the process of building the campaign organization and doing public outreach to build grassroots support. Under the Illinois law, the number of signatures candidates need to collect is based on how many votes their party’s candidate got in an electoral district where they’re running. As the result, Hanusiak has a lower threshold to meet than the Democratic candidates. According to the Office of the Cook County Clerk, he must get at least 189 signatures, while his Democratic counterparts must get at least 380. At the same time, Hanusiak has been running for Republican committeeman for Niles Township. He said that, after long-time Committeeman Joe Hedrick announced his retirement, the former trustee saw an opening to get more actively involved in the local Republican party. There is a plenty of precedent for elected officials from both major parties serving as committeemen. For example, Cook County Commissioner Sean Morrison (R3rd) serves as a Palos Township Republican committeeman. Hanusiak said that, if he gets elected committeeman, his priorities would be simple. “[My priorities would be] to promote the Republican Party,” he said. “To cease identity politics which sets citizen against citizen unnecessarily. [To advocate for] equal application of law and order for all Americans.”

IDOT, ISP, Tollway urge motorists to prepare for winter driving Motorists should practice basic winter driving skills and build extra time into their schedules As bitter cold creeps into Illinois, the state’s frontline weather responders remind motorists that preparation can help take the bite out of winter this season. The Illinois Department of Transportation, Illinois State Police and the Illinois Tollway encourage motorists to prepare for wintry driving conditions and remember: “Winter Weather - Get it Together.” “Winter weather can be unpredictable in Illinois, but preparation today will make a safer tomorrow,” said Illinois Transportation Secretary Randy Blankenhorn. “Drivers should start easing into those winter driving behaviors now. Our snow-and-ice teams are ready, as always, to make this a safe, successful winter driving season.” Throughout the winter, especially during adverse conditions, motorists should practice basic winter driving skills and build extra time into their schedules. As part of the “Winter Weather - Get it Together” campaign, all travelers are encouraged to follow these simple rules and tips during the coming months: Always wear a seat belt. It’s the law in Illinois. • Slow down. Slower speeds, slower acceleration, slower steering and slower braking all are required in winter driving conditions. • Drop it and drive. Put down the handheld devices - it, too, is the law in Illinois. • Don’t crowd the plow. A snowplow operator’s field of vision is restricted. You may see them, but they may not see you. • Avoid using cruise control in snow and ice. • Watch out for black ice on roads that appear clear but can be treacherous. • Be especially careful approaching intersections, ramps, bridges and shady areas. All are prone to icing. • Do not travel during bad

weather unless absolutely necessary. If you do have to make a trip, check the forecast and make sure someone is aware of your travel route. Consider taking public transportation if it is an option. • Prepare an emergency kit that contains jumper cables, flares or reflectors, windshield washer fluid, a small ice scraper, traction material, blankets, non-perishable food and a first-aid kit. • Carry a cell phone and a car charger in case of emergency. • Follow Scott’s Law. Slow down and move over for stopped emergency, construction and maintenance vehicles. For a list of suggested maintenance for your car, visit the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration’s winter driving website. “Winter weather causes extremely dangerous driving with black ice and white out conditions,” said ISP Director Leo P. Schmitz. “Plan ahead by checking your windshield wipers, vehicle fluid levels, proper tire inflation and tread depth. Remember to avoid unnecessary lane changes and as always, reduce your speed and increase following distances. Don’t crowd the plow. Give them room to work. A snowplow operator’s field of vision is restricted. You may see them, but they may not see you.” Before leaving the house, drivers are encouraged to check GettingAroundIllinois.com for continually updated information on winter road conditions, weather radars, road and bridge closures and other trafficrelated information. The site was recently redesigned in a mobilefriendly format providing a more

convenient way to access important information quickly. The winter road conditions map gives travelers the ability to zoom in to their location, travel route or destination and get real-time road conditions. At any time, motorists can check travel conditions by calling 1-800-452-IDOT (4368) or 1-800-TOLL-FYI. “Winter weather can make driving challenging for our customers, so our priorities are to keep the roads clear and provide roadway information to help drivers safely reach their destinations,” said Illinois Tollway Executive Director Greg Bedalov. “In return, we ask our customers to protect themselves and our workers by slowing down and increasing their distance from other vehicles, particularly during storms and severe weather.” For the upcoming winter, IDOT will have more than 1,700 trucks available for deployment to plow almost 16,000 miles of roads statewide, the equivalent of driving from Springfield to the tip of South America and back. Last year, IDOT spread almost 305,000 tons of salt statewide. This winter, salt domes throughout the state are at capacity, with more than 550,000 tons on hand. Four hundred brand-new snow plows are ready to be deployed throughout the state. The new trucks are more energy efficient and will reduce air pollution. The Illinois Tollway is prepared to deploy its fleet of 196 snowplows for winter storms and has stockpiled more than 87,000 tons of salt to keep its 294-mile system of five tollways clear and safe for its 1.6 million daily drivers. Please follow IDOT on Facebook and Twitter for updates on travel throughout the winter.

The fine for parking in an accessible parking space without a disability placard or license plates can be up to $350 and using a deceased person’s placard or a fraudulent placard can result in a $2,500 fine and one-year revocation of a driver’s license. Currently, 627,281 permanent disability placards and 51,416 disability license plates are registered in Illinois.

Kokosioulis, Petersen lead 2017 Voyager Media All-Area team BY MARK GREGORY Sports Editor @Hear_The_Beard mark@buglenewspapers.com

When Maine South fell to eventual Class 8A state champions Lincoln-Way East in the state semifinals this season, it stopped the Hawks from defending its state title – this year in Huskie Stadium in DeKalb at Northern Illinois University. For senior running back Fotis Kokosioulis, the loss only delayed him getting on Brigham Field by a few months. The 5-foot-9, 173-pound running back has committed to play for Northern Illinois next season. This year he put up 1,626 yards on 182 carries and 24 touchdowns and never fumbled the football. He tacked on 31 receptions for 350 yards and five scores. For his efforts, Kokosioulis is the 2017 Voyager Media Offensive Player of the Year. “I looked at it as a compliment that teams tried to stop me,” Kokosioulis said. “It really helped us as a team if the opponent was trying to stop the run, it would open the passing game and then we could go back to the run. It was fun to be versatile and to be able to get the ball in the run game and pass game.” He is an Illinois High School Football Coaches Association AllState selection for Class 8A, was the CSL South Offensive Player of the Year, is nominated for the Academic All-State team with a 3.54/4

GPA and is a candidate for the Illinois Gatorade Player of the Year. For his career, Kokosioulis passed 2009 Voyager Media Player of the Year Matt Perez for school records with 3,952 yards rushing and 58 touchdowns as well as racking up 6,351 all-purpose yards and 73 total scores. “(Perez) was awesome and we watched his highlights and to be able to pass him meant something a lot for me,” Kokosioulis said. “I couldn’t have had any of these records without my team. Not only did the line block for me, but the receivers blocked for me once I was past the line. I hope there is a kid out there watching me and trying to be as good or better than me – that would be great. Coach (David) Inserra talks all the time that we have to play for the people that came before us, playing now and the ones that are going to come. So, it is cool if someone out there looks up to me and wants to pass me.” Inserra said it was not only his talent that helped Kokosioulis get to where he got in the program record books. “He not only holds all the records, but he may hold the record for showing up and giving 100 percent every single day,” said Inserra. “He is the toughest competitor and never took a short cut and that is why he has those records. He has never in his life taken a short cut and that says a SEE ALL-AREA PAGE 8

DEFENSIVE POY Benet Academy advanced to the IHSA Class 7A state semifinal game for the second-straight season this year and after suffering injuries on the offensive side of the football all season, it was the defense that really stepped up and helped carry the Redwings. The Benet defense allowed only 17.5 points per game this season, including five games holing teams to less than 14 points and a pair of shutouts – including a blanking of No. 1 seed Rockton Hononegah on the playoffs. At the center of that defense was senior Devin Petersen, who posted 167 tackles on the season, including 54 solo tackles. He had 12 tackles for loss, two sacks, four forced fumbles and one interception. For his efforts, Petersen is the 2017 Voyager Media Defensive Player of the Year. “I consider him the heart and soul of our defense,” said Benet coach Pat New. “He is one of our hardest workers and we hate losing him because kids like that only come around one in a while. He has great football IQ, he loves the game and he is your prototypical middle linebacker.” Like all team players, Petersen shined the light on his teammates for his success. “I was very happy with how I played this year. My goal was to play better than I did last season and I think I accomplished that,” he said. “But all together, it was everyone and every single person helped. You can give the credit to certain people but everyone did their job and got us to where we are at.” And while Benet fell short of the ultimate goal of playing in a state title game two years in a row, Petersen knows what being in the final four back to back seasons means. Petersen is still looking at options for next season, but will play football on the college level. The rest of the All-Area team members are:

COLUMN >> DAVE SAYS

Law school grad can pay off his own debts You shouldn’t feel as if you’re obligated to continue making these payments DEAR DAVE, Our son is about to graduate from law school. He took out a loan to cover the cost, but we’ve always been debt-free and have been paying on it to help him out while he finishes his studies. The balance on the loan right now is around $30,000. He has a job waiting for him after he graduates, so we’re thinking about telling him it will be his responsibility to finish paying off the loan at that point. Is that wrong? PAT DEAR PAT, There’s absolutely nothing wrong with a young law school graduate earning a living and paying off his own debt. I hope he appreciates how generous you both have been, but you shouldn’t feel as if you’re obligated to continue making these payments after he finishes school and begins working. Now, if you decide to pay it off for him as a gift for successfully completing law school — and you’re in a financial position to

do so without hurting yourselves or your future — that’s fine, too. It would be another incredibly generous act. And in my mind, generosity of that magnitude should be met with gratitude and appreciation of equal measure. If you choose this route, let him know how and why you were able to give him this gift. Don’t hold it over his head or beat him up with it, but stress the importance of being wise with money, saving and investing, and staying out of debt in the future. Let him know if he’ll follow your example, he might be able to do the same kind of thing for his kids someday. That would be a wonderful thing to see, wouldn’t it? —DAVE DEAR DAVE, I know you advise most people to buy used cars. Do you have a rule of thumb for a mileage limit when it comes to buying a used vehicle?

PAUL DEAR PAUL, No, not really. Sometimes mileage alone can be a good indicator of the quality of a used vehicle, but that’s not always the case. I would also advise doing a little research, and maybe letting a trusted mechanic have a look to determine if there are any issues that might give you trouble soon. The more inexpensive, and cheaply made a car is, the more likely it becomes that it would be worn down by higher mileage. Some vehicles start to get a little ragged at 100,000 miles, while others — some of the better makes — are just getting a feel for the road at that point. Of course, a lot depends on your budget, too. Overall, I would advise you to look for something that has a good reputation, a solid history, and as little mileage as possible. There are good, used cars out there that will last for years! —DAVE * Dave Ramsey is CEO of Ramsey Solutions. He has authored seven best-selling books, including The Total Money Makeover.

NEWS BRIEF >> OAKTON COMMUNITY COLLEGE

Dean of online learning looking to raise the bar In just over a month on the job as Oakton Community College’s dean of online learning, Raymond Lawson has been working diligently to find innovative ways to take the college’s online learning programs to the next level. Lawson, who previously served as the director of online learning and educational technology at McHenry County College (MCC), has over the last few weeks been steadfastly meeting with the college’s departments. “Right now I’m in discovery mode and learning as much as I can about Oakton’s online learning,” explains Lawson. “After the discovering and the needs assessment phases, I will work with my team on a strategic plan on how to move forward to advancing the college’s online learning programs.” Lawson says he expects to have his assessment finished in January 2018, noting, “This will serve as a good road map for the college to follow, and I’m ex-

cited about the opportunities for students to make the most of Oakton’s online learning programs. My goal is to increase support for students and faculty to assist them in being more comfortable in engaging in online learning.” Lawson is extremely passionate about online learning and its potential. While at MCC, he grew the college’s online learning presence by 11 percent over seven years. Before MCC, Lawson served as the program director for Kaplan Higher Education, where he designed and implemented online curricula for one of the world’s largest and most diverse educational providers. “You can be in Europe or anywhere in the world and take online classes,” Lawson adds. “Online learning is increasing exponentially, and that’s a fact, not a trend. Online learning is an essential part of the educational fabric and is becoming a mainstream for teaching in all colleges. This instructional method levels the playing field by giving everyone access to education from anywhere. It’s transforming the way people learn and teach.”
