he Park Ridge City Council’s finance committee of the whole last week recommended a contract for a parking study in the city’s Uptown area. The contract would still need to be approved by the full city council before it takes effect. If it is, Vernon Hills-based Gewalt Hamilton Associates Inc. will look at whether there is enough parking to accommodate residents, businesses and Metra commuters and what the city should do to address any parking deficiencies. Last week’s recommendation came a week after several commuters who use the parking on the south side of the train tracks addressed the city council about a shortage of options. The study would look at all of the parking that serves the Uptown Metra station, as well as the area north of the tracks between Morris

Street, Northwest Highway, Touhy Avenue and Washington Avenue, as well as the area south of the tracks between Touhy Avenue, Third Street, Crescent Avenue, the outer edges of the city hall parking lots and Vine Avenue. Parking has become a major concern in Uptown Park Ridge. New businesses are straining the existing capacity and things also got tighter for commuters who live south of the Metra tracks. Until last fall, AT&T leased spaces at its parking lot on 36 S. Fairview Ave. As of Oct. 1, 2015, the company stopped leasing out parking because it wanted to use the parking spaces for its own employees. Since then, commuters have been struggling to find alternatives. The situation was further complicated by the city’s decision to raise its parking rates from 25 cents an hour to 50 cents an hour. The city council approved the increase during its July 18 meeting.

Niles staff lay out need for business tax incentives Village hopes incentives would attract, retain businesses By Igor Studenkov bugle staff

nweditor@buglenewspapers.com @BugleNewspapers

As Community Development Director Charles Ostman and Economic Development Coordinator Ross Klicker see it, economic incentives are vital to the village’s economic future.

During a presentation at the Sept. 13 Niles Village Board’s informal consideration meeting, the two staff members made their case for considering any request for incentives on case-by-case basis. While they said that not every company that applies should automatically receive an incentive, Ostman and Klicker argued that incentives are often necessary to

attract new businesses and retain existing companies. In an age when physical locations are becoming less important, they argued that Niles must be able to offer something more than its proximity to Chicago and O’Hare International Airport. Klicker began the presentation by outlining how much Niles currently receives in regular tax

revenue, compared with other nearby municipalities. Every village and city saw revenue decline during the Great Recession but most have rebounded, to some extent or another, since then. Niles and Skokie returned to 2008 levels or higher by 2010, while Morton Grove and Glenview did bounce back until 2014 and 2013, respectively. As of 2015, Niles was third in terms of overall sales tax collection, with $15.21 million. Skokie came

in first, collecting $16.1 million, and Glenview was second, with $15.64 million. Des Plaines came in fourth, with $10.74 million, and Morton Grove was fifth, collecting $4.24 million. Klicker also broke down sales tax revenue by source. Niles ranked first, collecting $2.1 million. He said that, with a Mariano’s opening in Glenview, there is more competition.

Park Ridge looks to create new 15-minute parking zones 15-minute parking zone request prompts Park Ridge to consider existing zones By Igor Studenkov bugle staff

nweditor@buglenewspapers.com @BugleNewspapers

The Park Ridge City Council will look into creating a 15-minute loading zone in front of two commercial buildings on Fairview Avenue. The owners of the buildings, located at 26-28 S. Fairview Ave., requested the loading zone during the Sept. 6 city council meeting. They told the council that, under the current parking requirements, their tenants’ customers were being ticketing. During the Sept 12 public works committee of the whole meeting, aldermen agreed

to put the issue to a vote during a future meeting. The vote would also allow the city to clean up existing rules related to 15-minute loading zones. According to Wayne Zingsheim, the Park Ridge director of public works, a few such zones were created for businesses that have since closed or relocated. One of the building owners, Angie Karlson, told the city council that spaces in front of the property are quickly taken and do not free up for hours. This forces their customers to park further away and risk getting ticketed. Karlson argued that a 15-minute loading zone would ensure that

the spaces are not occupied up for too long, while allowing their tenants’ customers to come in and out. Gino Rago is the co-owner of one of those tenants, Panino’s Pizzeria. He told the council that, while parking issues go beyond the loading zone, having it there would help. “Having a loading zone is going to be critical,” he said. “[Park Ridge] has been good to me; I want to say here.” During the Sept. 12 meeting, Karlson reiterated her earlier plea. “It would just help us and protect businesses that have been there for years,” she said. Zingsheim explained that the city currently has eight 15-minute loading zones but said it would probably be safe to eliminate

As First Ward Ald. John Moran explained during the Sept 6 city council meeting, Park Ridge offers the cheapest parking of surrounding communities. “A lot of out-of-town cars were going in, because our rates were significantly lower,” he said. “Our city manager [suggested] that we put our parking rates on par with everyone else.” Resident Matthew Kralka, who lives near Roosevelt Elementary School and regularly commutes to work, suggested the city allocate certain parking to commuters during rush hours and let others

several of those spaces, including an 18-foot section on the east side of Chester Avenue near Touhy, one on the west side of Prospect Avenue northeast of Summit, and one on the east side of Prospect southwest of Northwest Highway. Second Ward Ald. Nicholas Milissis asked whether any of the previously approved loading zones caused any problems. Zingsheim replied that there have not been any complaints. Sixth Ward Ald. Marc Mazzuca said he had no issue with the 15-minute loading zones but added that he would prefer they came with fees. However, First Ward Ald. John Moran said he had reservations. “How do you determine who deserves one and who doesn’t deserve one,” he asked. “It’s very

vague. Once it goes up, it’s going to be hard to justify to [other] business owners if we turn them down.” Fifth Ward Ald. Daniel Knight supported charging fees for loading zones but said he didn’t see any reason not to grant the owners’ request, since he didn’t think aldermen would figure out what the fees would be any time soon. “It’s not on anybody’s calendar; who knows when we’re going to get to that,” Knight said. Fourth Ward Ald. Roger Shubert, who chairs the public works COW, instructed staff to research loading zone fees, and tentatively scheduled a vote on the 26-28 W. Fairview loading zone request during the next public works COW.

use spaces that weren’t filled during off-peak hours. According to GHA’s study proposal, the company would look at the current parking situation, evaluate potential future demand, study whether it would be possible to offer residents parking alternatives outside the study area, and look into possibly shifting parking around to better address drivers’ needs. It would also look into the feasibility of implementing electronic parking meters similar to Chicago. Finally, the study would look at whether it made sense to create a multi-level parking structure, and, what the best place to locate the

possible structure. Kralka asked whether the study would address the parking shortage on the south side of the tracks. “We don’t make a distinction between north of the tracks and south of the tracks,” acting mayor Marty Maloney replied. “It’s not because we’re biased against people who live south of the tracks; we are just looking to put in parking.” He said the city is trying to find a balance between the needs of residents, businesses and commuters, which can be tricky. Moran said they learned from experience that trying to help one party can create unintended consequences for everyone else. “What we’ve discovered is that, every time we make a change, there’s unintended consequences,” he said. Aldermen considered GWA’s proposal during the Sept. 12 finance COW meeting. Acting City Manager Joe Gilmore explained that the company gave the second-lowest bid, bidding – $16,204. He said a total of four bids were submitted, and they ranged from $14,500 to $31,500. Gilmore added that the company’s first stop would be to get input from stakeholders, including elected officials, city staff, uptown business owners and city residents. Aldermen unanimously approved sending the study to the full city council for a final vote.

Morton Grove changes rules for vacant buildings Changes were suggested as part of the regular staff review of village ordinances By Igor Studenkov Staff Reporter

nweditor@buglenewspapers.com @BugleNewspapers

The village of Morton Grove Board of Trustees gave a unanimous final approval to regulations designed to crack down on messy vacant properties. The changes were suggested as part of the regular staff review of village ordinances. Trustees

clarified the definition of “property owner” for the purpose of vacant properties, toughened standards for maintaining those properties and changed the structure of vacant building fees. The village also went into more detail on why a building would be classified as a dangerous or nuisance building. While buildings will still go vacant, officials hoped the changes will reduce some of the issues

associated with vacant properties. “I think it’s going to keep our village clean and neat, especially with vacant [properties],” village trustee Bill Grear said. The regulations add a new section further defining “owner” for the purpose of the Morton Grove municipal code. It specifies that the “owner” is “any person, agent, operator, firm, trust or corporation” that has any legal interest in the property or is listed as holding the title for the property, according to government records. Additionally, the new regulations

modify procedures for designating a building unfit for human occupancy. While the previous version of the code simply stated that the owners, operators and occupants would be notified by mail, the new rules add a provision that the mail will go to the last known address of the individual or business. Previous regulations stated that a vacant property may be designated as a nuisance building if it is found “unsafe and dangerous to the life, safety, morals, or the general health and welfare of the occupants or the

incentives | from page 1 When trustee George Alpogianis wondered if bringing Mariano’s to Niles would help, Klicker said it wouldn’t bring in additional sales tax revenue because the village already has plenty of alternatives. “Quite honestly, with the grocery store options we have, what will we gain,” he asked. “Would we just be shifting our [revenue] around?” Niles was also first in the lumber, buildings and hardware category, collecting $966,833. Morton Grove came in second, collecting $673,952. Niles came in first in the drug and miscellaneous retail category, collecting $2.8 million. Des Plaines ranked second, collecting $2.5 million. Niles also lead the way in the general merchandise category, collecting $2.9 million, but Skokie was a close second, with $2.6 million. Klicker and Ostman stated that the competition is intensifying. Since a Wal-Mart Super Center opened in Skokie, a Wal-Mart located on Touhy Avenue in Niles has been bringing in less sales tax revenue. “Because they opened up in Skokie, we lost 10-12 percent,” said Ostman. In the automotive and filling stations category, Niles came in second, bringing in $3.3 million, behind Glenview, which collected $4.6 million. Klicker described it as a “strong category” for the village, saying that it should do everything it can to keep it that way. Niles came in third in a category tracking drinking and eating establishments, collecting $951,457. Skokie came in first, with $1.8 million, and Skokie came

Touhy Corridor accounts for more than 55 percent of all sales taxes collected in Niles annually. Golf Mill accounts for more than 16 percent of sales taxes collected each year. in second, with $1.3 million. Klicker said Niles has an opportunity to attract diners from nearby suburbs. “That’s the thing we have to be cognizant of – things in other towns we can take advantage of,” he said. Trustee Danette Matyas said she was surprised that Glenview wasn’t at the top, given its extensive redevelopment of the former Naval Air Station into a mixedused development known as the Glen. Glenview’s town center commercial area became home to many eateries and bars. Klicker replied that it made sense to him, because the Glen isn’t as visible from major thoroughfares as Skokie’s commercial areas. “When looking at the Glen, drinking and eating establishments are one [type of business] where location matters,” he said. “People don’t know the Glen is there.” Niles came in a distant second in the apparel category, collecting $384,598. Klicker said the Westfield Old Orchard Mall

gives Skokie, which collected $2.5 million, a significant edge over its neighbors. “It’s the area we’re going to be working very hard on with Golf Mill Mall,” he said. Finally, in the furniture, appliances and radio category, Niles came in third, collecting $465,910. Klicker noted that Niles has been losing furniture and appliances tax revenue due to the closure of Best Buy and competition from Abt Electronics in Glenview. Glenview’s revenue in this category vastly overshadowed all other municipalities at $4.3 million, but Klicker said the village is working to address that discrepancy. “We’ve been working quite closely with a number of national and regional furniture chains that are looking to locate here,” he said, adding that he wouldn’t give any details while the negotiations were still ongoing. Klicker went on to say that the service industry was an area where Niles had an opportunity to grow.

As he saw it, one can’t get a haircut or get a car fixed over the Internet, so they aren’t vulnerable to the same economic pressures and brick-and-mortar retailers. “There are not as many retailers, and service industries are filling a lot of vacancies,” Klicker said. “That’s the change of philosophy we have to look at – is service industry always bad.” He added that service businesses could help retailers. For example, he said, a person who gets a haircut may be more interested at stopping at a nearby store. Klicker said that top 20 retailers accounted for over 58 percent of all sales tax revenue. Most of the tax revenue came from the businesses along the section of Touhy Avenue between the Leaning Tower YMCA and the Niles/Skokie border as areas with significant potential for growth. The traditionally industrial areas along the street are becoming increasingly commercial, he said, which is making the entire avenue more desirable. “You ask any major retailer

residents of the village.” The new regulations expand on that, saying that a building may be found to be a danger or a nuisance if the building has unsanitary sewage, fails building inspections, poses a fire hazard, is “unsafe and insecure,” and presents an “attractive nuisance to children.” The new rules also specify that it would be declared a nuisance if there are signs of rodent infestation, is littered with garbage or if its lawn is full of out-of-control weeds.

where they want to be, and they tell us ‘Touhy Corridor,’” Klicker said. Golf Mill Shopping Center was another major sales tax revenue generator, with its businesses earning 16 percent of all sales tax revenue. He described Milwaukee Avenue, especially the southern portion, as another area with significant economic potential, thanks to Pace suburban bus transit agency’s plan to build the Pulse Milwaukee Arterial Rapid Transit corridor between Jefferson Park Transit Center and Golf Mill Shopping Center.

Attracting New Business The presentation then shifted to looking at ways to attract businesses. Klicker said online shopping makes physical location increasingly less important. “With the internet, I don’t think there’s anyone that needs to be at a specific location any longer,” he said. Klickr also said that, in the grander scheme of things, Niles’ traditional economic strengths – it’s proximity to Chicago, the O’Hare Airport and major highways – are no longer unique. What the village needs, according to Klicker, is something that will make it stand out. Another problem, he said, is that suburban companies are increasingly choosing to relocate to Chicago in order to attract young talent. “[Young people] don’t want to live in the suburbs,” Klicker said. To overcome those obstacles, he said Niles needed to be able

Speeding up the planning and zoning process would help, but Klicker said tax incentives would need to be part of the process, as well. That would include tax increment financing district funds, sales tax revenue sharing agreements and Cook County tax classification incentives. Klicker argued that having one single incentives policy wouldn’t be useful, since companies that applied tended to ask for incentives that suited their particular needs.

One hundred years ago, almost no Americans brushed their teeth. We had radios, cars and telephones, but refused to own toothbrushes. They were readily available, as were various forms of toothpastes and powders for cleaning teeth. But, it wasn’t until a cue and a reward was discovered that brushing became a habit. We like to think that we brush our teeth because it’s a healthy thing to do. If asked, most people will say they brush because it’s an easy way to prevent cavities and maintain good oral health. But wearing sunscreen is also a simple behavior to do, and applying it daily before going out would prevent a huge number of people from being diagnosed with skin cancer. Yet, only a tiny portion of the population puts on sunscreen every day.

Our habits – the actions we do without thinking – occur in a regular loop with three parts, all starting with the letters “r-e.” The first part is a reminder, which is some kind of cue or trigger that starts the process. Next is our reaction – the automatic way that we respond to the reminder. The final part is a reward, which serves to reinforce the whole process and create a craving to experience the loop all over again. What the toothpaste company Pepsodent did in the 1920s was to find a reminder and a reward that would trigger people to crave brushing and make it part of their routine. By adding a foaming agent and mint oil to their toothpaste, they created a pleasing effect associated with brushing. And, just as importantly, they developed an advertising campaign centered around reminding people to check for a film on their teeth, which was sneakily linked to having a dirty mouth. It turns out that foaming, minty toothpaste does absolutely nothing to clean our teeth. And the film that forms

your tongue in just a few minutes. Your brain is completing the loop, reacting to a reminder so it can get a reward.

to your Mental health By Jason Florin

is quite natural and harmless. Brushing is good for other reasons, but those were not well known at the time. Nevertheless, the reminder and the reward worked so well that within a generation, almost everyone in America was brushing regularly. Today, the behavior is so encoded in our own routines that we hardly give it any thought at all.

HoW dId I get Here? Have you ever found yourself driving home when you realized you couldn’t remember how you got there? It turns out this is an amazingly useful adaptation our brains have made. Picture your brain by making a fist with your thumb sticking straight down, as if giving a thumbs-down sign. The thumb is your brain stem; the meaty part at the base of your thumb is a primitive area that ensures we swallow and breathe; everything inside your fist that you can’t see is your limbic system, which contains our reward circuitry and basic drives; and your knuckles and back of your hand represent your cortex, the higher order human-making parts. The reason your best ideas come to you when showering, driving or walking is that you aren’t thinking. Your brain’s cortex – the area responsible for rational thought, planning and decision making – can take a break. More primitive parts of your brain take over, freeing up the gray matter for other tasks. If basic functions required our full attention, most of our great ideas would never happen. But, the same area that guides you home safely with minimal concentration also directs you to less beneficial destinations, such as eating fast food when you see a sign with a giant yellow “M.” Without thinking, and arguably without choosing, you pull your car into the drive thru, all the while anticipating the delicious salt and fat that will hit

Habits are embedded, but they are also fragile. It only takes a slight change to a routine for them to be reshaped, as journalist Charles Duhigg described in his 2009 book “The Power of Habit.” Imagine that all of the fast food places you pass were tucked far off the road, out of sight. The environmental reminders would be gone, thus making the reaction less likely. Take the example of television. With television, much of the reward comes courtesy of our remote controls, which provide ultimate control and instant gratification. If you gave your remote to a friend to hold onto, you would still watch some TV. But chances are, the habit loop would start to break down as the rewards associated with watching were minimized by not having a remote. Your brain will naturally become frustrated when it doesn’t get the instant reward, and we can even become depressed by not having our cravings satisfied. However, if we can insert a new reaction in place of TV watching, one that produces its own rewards, a new habit loop will spring up. The new reaction might be reaching for a book or doing some light exercise in your living room. Of course, altering certain habit loops takes a significant amount of time, effort and support. Changing deeply rewarding reactions such as smoking, using drugs or binge eating require focus and belief. None of this is to say that creating new habits is easy. In fact, your old brain will fight tooth-and-nail to return to the old loop, knowing it will produce the desired reward. But, a lot of things in life that are worthwhile aren’t easy. And if that means giving away your remote, then the price seems worth the payoff. Jason Florin has 15 years of experience working in mental health and substance abuse treatment.

Dons defeat Hilltoppers for second straight ESCC win By Mark Gregory sports reporter

mark@buglenewspapers.com @Hear_The_Beard

After Notre Dame dropped its week two tilt to East Suburban Catholic Conference opponent Benet, the Dons knew they had to get things going in the tough ESCC. That was exactly what they did. The Dons defeated Nazareth in week 3 and 3-1 on the season with a 35-17 win over Joliet Catholic Academy in Joliet. “It means a lot for the kids to come down here and win,” Notre Dame coach Mike Hennessey said. “It’s a helluva long ride. We were worried after that first quarter because we went three plays then we didn’t get back on the field. Joliet is Joliet and I don’t care what is going on. [JCA coach] Dan [Sharp] does a great job. But, we were able to then do some things and get a couple of easy touchdowns and that expands what you want to do and makes everything better.” After the Hilltoppers took a 3-0 lead, Notre Dame’s Ty Gavin’s took

over. Gavin broke a 34-yard touchdown run on the first play of the second quarter gave the Dons a 7-3 lead. Later in the quarter, he scored the second of his three scores – the first of two on fourth down – to put Notre Dame up 14-3. The Hilltoppers (0-4) got within 14-10 on the final play of the half when Pat Roth hit Rio Strama with a 17-yard score on fourth-and-16. Any momentum JCA had was erased on the first series out of the break, when Gavin took a fourthand-one play 63 yards for the score. “It was senior night for them and we knew we had to come out and score or they were going to hang around the whole game,” Gavin said. “We talked at halftime about getting that score and we did.” Gavin said the credit can’t all go to him. “It was my offensive line,” Gavin said. “There are a lot of kids that could have run through

Truex wins Chase opener at Chicagoland By Mark Gregory sports reporter

mark@buglenewspapers.com @Hear_The_Beard

Tires were both a plus and a minus for Martin Truex Jr. Sunday en route to winning the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 400 at Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet, the first race in The Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup. The win was his first victory in 11 Sprint Cup starts in Chicago and his third win of the season. Truex had previously won only three times in his career. “Without a doubt it’s the best team I’ve ever had, it’s the best position I’ve ever been in. I really feel like we have what it takes to win this championship,” Truex said. “I felt like we had the same thing last year, but we didn’t have the racecars. We didn’t have the speed we have now. That’s really taken us to another level. There’s been years, a few years, where I should have won multiple

races, but I’ve never been in a position where I feel like we can go anywhere and win. Right now I feel like any racetrack, any weekend, anywhere in the country we can win. It’s just so much fun to go to the racetrack and have that feeling, have that much confidence in your team and what you’re doing. Having that much confidence in yourself as a driver is the ultimate goal. “So it feels so good. I’m so proud of everyone and thankful. We have two weeks now to just try to keep the momentum going. We have no pressure on us. Hopefully we’ll be able to get a couple more trophies and then get ready for round two.” With the win, Truex secured his position in the second round of The Chase and now leads the point standings by one over Brad Keselowski. “We did what we came here to do. That always feels good when you accomplish your goals,” Truex

said. “We had a good weekend here with our Furniture Row Toyota. [We] Worked really hard on our car throughout practice and on race runs. [We] Tried some new stuff this weekend and really felt like throughout the weekend we were getting the car feeling really good for race trim. “It was a good weekend for us. Really, today was a great day for us on the racetrack. We had to overcome some adversity obviously. That was tough. But [I am] really proud of our team for everybody sticking together, everybody keeping their heads down and never quitting till it was over. Today was obviously a big win for us. I am just excited for everybody. I mean, this is what we came here to do. It was cool to be able to put it out there and make it happen.” Truex was trailing Chase Elliott by more than a second with

Chase fields set for XFINITY, Truck Series By Mark Gregory sports reporter

mark@buglenewspapers.com @Hear_The_Beard

While the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup was started Sunday at Joliet’s Chicagoland Speedway, the Chase fields for both the XFINITY Series and the Camping World Truck Series were set over the weekend for the first time. On Saturday, Erik Jones bested Kyle Larson in the Drive for Safety 300 – his fourth victory, 13th top-5 and 16th top-10 finish of the season. The win was Jones’ second trip to Gatorade Victory Lane at Chicagoland Speedway in three starts. With the win, he extended his lead in points and secured his position in the inaugural Chase for the NASCAR XFINITY Series Chase in his final season before joining Furniture Row Racing next season as a full time Cup driver. “It was tough,” Jones said. “I didn’t know if my Hisense Camry was going to have enough time to get back up to the front, but we had a really good restart and got clear to third and then just had to go chase Elliott [Sadler] down. It was a matter of time before we got around him. What an awesome day.” Sadler finished third, with Daniel Suárez and Justin Allgaier rounding out the top five. Kyle Busch led a total of 154 laps before blowing a tire with 19 laps to go to finish 13th. The NASCAR XFINITY Series Chase will begin with next weekend’s race at Kentucky Speedway and will feature 12 drivers with two elimination rounds. In the subsequent races, the field will be trimmed to eight and then the Championship 4 who will compete at Homestead. Jones leads the field with 2012 with Sadler (2006) and Suarez (2003) behind him. The rest of the field is made up of Ty Dillon, Allgaier, Darrell Wallace Jr., Brendan Gaughan, Brennan Poole, Ryan Sieg, Ryan Reed, Brandon Jones and Blake Koch, all with 2000 points. A night earlier Kyle Busch held off Daniel Hemric and Cameron Hayley to take the checkered flag in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series American Ethanol e15 225. Busch has now recorded five

wins in six NASCAR Camping World Truck Series starts at Chicagoland Speedway, the most of any driver in the series. He led 63 of 150 laps to secure his position in Gatorade Victory Lane. “This has just been a really good place for us and for KBM over the years,” Busch said. “We’ve been really fast here, so it was really nice to come out here and keep that speed going.” Before he won his own race Saturday, Jones – who won the Camping World Truck Series last year as part of Kyle Busch Motorsports – filled in for Busch in practice. “I really appreciate Erik Jones being out here (Thursday) and working it in for me and everything that he did,” Busch said. The first round in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Chase will feature eight drivers with two elimination rounds that will trim the field to six and then the Championship 4. Similar to the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup, the four drivers advancing to the Championship in HomesteadMiami will have their points reset with the highest finishing of the Championship 4 driving winning it all. William Byron leads the way with 2015 points, followed by Matt Crafton and John H Nemechek, each with 2006. Christopher Bell, Johnny Sauter and Ben Kennedy all have 2003 points, while Hemric and Timothy Peters qualified with 2000.

HOT DOG Chase Briscoe recovered from a minor error on pit road to pick up his fourth win of the ARCA Racing Series Presented by Menards at Thurday’s Scott® 150 in Joliet. Briscoe’s win was paired with his first-ever bite of the iconic Eisenberg foot-long hot dog with all the fixings. The hot dog included the traditional yellow mustard, chopped white onions, sweet pickle relish, a dill pickle spear, tomato slices, pickled sport peppers and a dash of celery salt. This new Victory Lane tradition was introduced in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series last season and continued with each race this weekend.

truex | from page 8 five laps to go when Michael McDowell’s shredded right front tire forced the caution. The leaders pitted, leaving Truex fourth and Elliott fifth on the race’s final restart after Ryan Blaney, Kasey Kahne and Carl Edwards stayed out. Truex made a three-wide pass to the outside going into turn one as the green came out and took the lead. “Getting that fourth position on the outside I think was the key to winning,” Truex said. “Making the move to the outside was just what I was presented with. That was the only move I could make. Fortunately we were able to make it work.

kings | from page 7 those holes. A lot of them I barely got touched, so I put that on the offensive line.” The final nail in the coffin came

“I want to say I feel for Chase. I know what he’s going through. He did a great job. I wasn’t going to catch him. I was catching him, but I was not catching him enough to pass him in five more laps. He did a good job and they were really fast today. We had to come from behind.” Earlier in the race, Truex had spent time a lap down. He got his lap back on a free pass and made his way through the field and was in position for the win when opportunity struck. “The mindset was, All right, this isn’t good, this is bad,” he said. “I really wish this didn’t happen, but it did. How are we going to overcome it? That’s all you can do at that point in time is say,

Okay, where are we at? Where is the leader? What do I need to do? Cole kept me updated on who the leader was, who was a lap down, where I had to get to. Just kept my pushing, just kept my head down, kept digging. Eventually got back on the lead lap. Then the challenge was, How are we going to get up through traffic? It wasn’t easy to pass out there. But our car was really good on the long runs. That’s where we were able to make time. It was trying to be patient on the short runs, on the restarts, try to keep my tires under me, and wait for those guys to start fading, then make my move. That’s what I did all day long and it worked out.” Getting the win not only locks

Truex into the second part of the Chase, it gives him a piece of mind for a few weeks. “I think really all it means is that we’re guaranteed to make the second round, and the next two weeks we don’t have to worry about flat tires or somebody running into us and wrecking us, getting caught by a caution when you’re pitting, things like that. We don’t have to worry about the things that we can’t control,” he said. “That’s what gives you the most anxiety in these situations when you’re in the Chase and you have three-round eliminations. So we don’t have to deal with that for two weeks. All we have to focus on is going to the racetrack and trying to continue to do a

great job and win some more races. So that’s our goal right now.” Along with a spot in the second part of the Chase, the win also earned Truex a cartoon-based trophy featuring the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles – one that he had plans for right away. “I think I’m going to put that trophy in my shop because we have like a little store set up in there at Martin Truex Jr. Motorsports. We have a lot of family and kids come by. It will be cool to set it up in the opening and get their picture taken with it,” he said. “That’s what I thought while I was standing out there and somebody asked me that. We’re going to do that for sure.”

when Michael Valdez intercepted Roth and returned it 83-yards through traffic for the score. “That was great,” Hennessy said. “When you get a long run like that,

it means all the difference in the world. The kid never dies. He is one of our captains and he is one of the most influential kids on our team.” The task doesn’t get easier for Notre Dame as it hosts another good ESCC foe in St. Patrick this week. “We are able to do some good things so far,” Hennessy said. “The good and the bad about our

conference is that every week you are in for a battle and sometimes you don’t want that, but it’s what it is and sometimes it really tests you for what you are about. We had a tough time in the Benet game when we turned the ball over too much and then we came out and beat a helluva Nazareth team and then coming here and beating [JCA] on their field is a pretty good feat for us.”

The players know the tough run they have in the league and how impressive the two wins in a row are. “It is huge. We knew we would have a dog fight for two straight weeks and that we had to bounce back from Benet and this is unbelievable,” Gavin said. “Our seniors keep leading us and motivating us. I love this team and we are never out of it.”

Earlier today, @NASCAR unveiled a new, racing-themed Twitter emoji, which will help bring #TheChase tweets to life throughout the 10week postseason. “Twitter brings the passion and excitement of NASCAR to millions of our fans every single day in very unique and innovative ways,” said NASCAR

Managing Director, Social Media, Scott Warfield. “As we embark on The Chase, the platform is helping us make the overall social experience that much richer and more memorable for our fans and followers.” At Chicagoland and with the rest of the Chase races, @NASCAR will curate Twitter Moments and share Vines and live video via Periscope all capturing the spirit, excitement and behind-thescenes of this year’s Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup. “NASCAR truly embraces Twitter as a bridge between fans and the drivers they love,” said Andrew Barge, Sports Partnerships, Twitter. “During this year’s Chase, with Twitter handles on windshields and hashtags on the infield grass, NASCAR demonstrates just how much it genuinely values and encourages that fan engagement.” After each round of The Chase, NASCAR will tweet actionpacked digital films that feature NASCAR Sprint Cup Series drivers reenacting the on-track highlights and storylines.

Own the debt on your commercial properties

dave says By Dave Ramsey

Dear Dave, My husband and I own three commercial buildings in Boise, Idaho, that are leased out long-term. We owe about $500,000 on one and $400,000 on each of the others, and they earn $190,000. The only other debt we have is a small amount left on our mortgage. I know you don’t like debt, but is it OK to owe on commercial properties that are making good money? Dawn Dear Dawn, I own several commercial buildings, and I don’t owe a dime on any of them. So, I can’t tell you that I think it’s OK to have debt on commercial buildings. I believe the best plan for building wealth is to become debt-free. Now, from the situation you’ve described, that doesn’t necessarily mean you guys should be in panic

mode and start selling everything in sight. But, I do think that you should systematically work your way out from under these debts over the next few years. If I were in your shoes, I’d go ahead and get the house paid off first. Then, I’d take a look at these commercial properties, and begin working the debt snowball on them. Start throwing as much money as you can at the smallest debt, while making minimum payments on the other two. When you get it paid off, roll that amount over — along with every dime you can dig up —and attack the second largest one. Follow these steps until you pay off all of your commercial properties. It might take up to 10 years in your case, because we’re talking about at least $1.3 million in debt. If you have a bunch of equity in one you don’t particularly like, you might consider selling it and throwing the cash at the remaining two. — Dave

Pickup Carol B. Pickup, nee Haas, loving mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, 95, of DeLand, Florida, passed into God’s hands Sept. 15, 2016. She was born Nov. 21, 1920, to Edith and Ernest J. Haas. She grew up in Chicago with her mother and grandfather. She attended grade school and graduated from Kelvyn Park High School. Carol married Charles E. Pickup Sept. 23, 1939. They moved to Niles in March of 1942 to raise their family. She worked and later was a seamstress for many ladies and men in town. She was an active member of Niles Presbyterian Church, Homemakers Extension, Red Cardinal Rollers Camping Club and the Lyons Club. In 1987, Carol and her husband moved to Lady Lake, Florida, where they were active in many of the same organizations. Carol

volunteered countless hours in local nursing homes, as well as knitting hundreds of hats for newborn babies. She was preceded in death by her husband of 63 years. She is survived by her son, Richard Pickup (Mary Carmen); daughter Catherine Denis; grandsons Kevin Walger and Keith (Julie) Walger; and granddaughters Kimberlie (Sean) Daly and Khristie (Greg) Kaplan. She had nine greatgrandchildren: Kalee Walger, Kevin Walger Jr., Allison Walger, Jessica Walger, Emily Daly, Jack Daly, Morgan Kaplan, Parker Kaplan and Sydney Kaplan. She was a member of the first Presbyterian Church of DeLand.

vacant | from page 3 Finally, a structure may be considered a nuisance building if it is boarded up, damaged by fire to the point that it is uninhabitable or otherwise in danger of collapse. As with previous regulations, the owner has an opportunity to correct those problems after the notice goes out. All vacant buildings must be registered, but the new regulations change the fee structure. Under the previous rules, property owners had to pay a $200 annual registration fee and a $100 fee if any information changed.

Bron de r Carl E. Bronder, age 77, beloved husband of Barbara, nee Grzyb; devoted father of Cheryl (Matt) Tretter, James (Kim) Bronder and Steven Bronder; dearest grandpa “Clicker” of Madelyn, Lauren,

The new rules create an initial $500 fee, and require the owners to pay a $100 each year and when ownership changes. The new rules also toughen vacant building maintenance standards, including requirements to keep all grass and weeds cut below six inches, shovel public sidewalks, clean the grounds and building’s exterior, and keep all fences and gates in good repair. The owner must make sure water doesn’t accumulate and do everything possible to make sure rodents don’t infest the building, and exterminate pests and rodents that are present. Building owners do have the right to apply to have any of

those conditions changed, and the village code allows officials the discretion to do so, as long as the change doesn’t compromise health and safety. Finally, the new regulations would prohibit the village from issuing transfer stamps and permits to property owners that have unpaid maintenance fines and haven’t addressed the issues that lead to their property being designated as a dangerous or nuisance building. The Morton Grove Village Board held a first reading on the new regulations during its Aug. 8 meeting, and the proposal went through a second and final reading Sept. 12.
