dewberry architects have been hired by the village to provide six different options for a new fire station one, including this rendering showing a building with a mix of brick and siding without administrative space.

fter years of discussion, the village of romeoville has decided that time has come to demolish and rebuild its busiest fire station. fire station No. 1, located at 18 Montrose drive, has been deemed too defunct to remodel, and plans are in motion to demolish the existing structure and begin work on a new station. While other locations were considered, the current location was chosen for its proximity within the village. “this is not a new project and one we have talked about in varying stages,” said Mayor John Noak. “there is no doubt the fire station needs to be replaced and needs work. We have probably squeezed more life out of it than we should have. the time has come for it to be done.” see ‘rebuilD’ Page 9

Chamber redefines outreach New executive director says event lineup prioritizes membership value

By laura katauskas staff reporter

sweditor@buglenewspapers.com @RomeovilleBugle

The Romeoville Area Chamber of Commerce is working hard in its mission to get members involved and get noticed. Under the new leadership of Executive Director Michelle Jarnutowski and with four vacant board seats to be filled by midJuly, the chamber is undergoing change. Jarnutowski was named to the position in March, and she has been on a mission to connect members to one another and bring a more personal touch to the chamber. “That’s what the chamber should be about.” she said. “I want our members to get value for their time and money, and make that connection that can help them in their business.” Gone are the days of sitting at the table with the same group, Jarnutowski has put in place a system to ensure members truly mingle and get the benefit from their peers. “So far the feedback has been nothing but positive,” she added. Currently at 200 members,

Jarnutowski’s goal is to continue to grow membership and offer the tools and seminars members need. In a mix of old and new events, the summer months are busy. Several events are upcoming, including the annual “Pitch Your Business” luncheon to be held July 14 at the Edward Hospital Athletic and Event Center, 55 Phelps. Each business will have one minute to sum up what they have to offer. Rather than the normal stiff pitch, businesses get to use skits or music and have a little fun to show off their company, explained Jarnutowski. Next up is the “Captivating Business Presentations” from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. July 15 at Rasmussen College, 1400 Normantown Road. This workshop is designed to show how to plan and deliver a presentation to keep an audience’s attention. The chamber’s inaugural Cruisin’ the Square is scheduled for July 16. The “traditional” car show will take place from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Edward Athletic and Event Center. Car enthusiasts are asked to bring out their pride and joy and partake in a community event, which also will include vendors, food and beverages, and

family entertainment. A second car show will be held Aug. 27, and the chamber hopes it become a weekly event next year. Jarnutowski said the Rise and Shine breakfast is one new event that has become a huge success. In response to members who couldn’t get away from work for a luncheon, she said the breakfast event was an attempt to reach more members. The next Rise and Shine will be held from 7:30 to 9 a.m. Aug. 18 at the Prairie Golf Club. In partnership with the village, the chamber will hold a presentation on Interstate 55 and Weber Road’s impact on area businesses. The event is open to members and nonmembers. Additionally, the chamber’s annual golf outing will be held Aug. 26 at the Bolingbrook Golf Club. As the chamber’s premier event, the golf outing will be take on a new vibe this year with a “nine and dine” theme. Hoping to free up time for those who can’t get away from the office for a full 18 holes, attendees will play nine holes in the afternoon and end the day with dinner. “We are very excited about all of our events and the chamber in general, and we want people to become involved as much as they can,” said Jarnutowski. For more information about these events or to register, call the chamber at 815-886-2076 or email info@romeovillechamber.org.

State’s stalemate alarms area voters Budget concerns top legislative town hall

As lawmakers battle over the budget impasse, local legislators and constituents are left to grapple with the ramifications of a stalemate. Local villages and agencies are bracing for cuts to a system ran on state funding affecting everything from daycare to funds for the disabled. “We have already been notified that some grants we were expecting are being frozen,” said Bolingbrook Village Attorney Jim Boan, who did not have further details. Meanwhile Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and the Democratic-led legislature are showing no signs of progress as of press time. In response to the state government shutdown, state Rep. Natalie Manley, D-Joliet, said she supported legislation that appropriates funds to keep government services operating for another 30 days. “After the governor vetoed a budget that protected middleclass families and funded essential services, we found a way to make sure that these programs could be sustained,” she said in a release. “Even though this bill was limited, it still provided support for some key services for our seniors, veterans, and disabled. House Bill 4190 was voted on last week in response to the veto of the state budget. It would provide $2 billion in the next month to crucial programs, such as the Community Care Program, GPS monitoring for sexual predators, addiction treatment, rehabilitation services for the disabled, and services at the state’s veterans’ homes. The temporary budget failed on a vote of 67-1-32. “My Republican colleagues decided to vote against this critical piece of legislation and now have put the lives of middle-class

Bolingbrook resident Steve Prodehl addresses the legislators. families at risk,” Manley added. “It is extremely disappointing that so many of my colleagues allowed politics to cloud their judgment and avoided the opportunity to show bipartisan support for these crucial services that, in many cases, keep people alive.” To stand in solidarity with state employees who may not be receiving their paychecks, and also with those whose access to state services are in jeopardy due to the government shutdown, Manley and some of her colleagues in the House vowed not to cash their legislative paychecks until a state budget has been adopted. “Illinois government has come to this shameful point because of a governor who is supremely dedicated to shafting the middleclass and our state’s most vulnerable citizens,” said Manley. Prior to the July 1 budget deadline, Will County voters were looking for answers during a legislative town hall meeting held on June 29. Manley, along with state sens. Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant, D-Plainfield, and Pat McGuire,

D-Joliet, and Rep. Emily McAsey, D-Romeoville, hosted the meeting at the Bolingbrook-Fountaindale Library. The format was meant to be an informal opportunity for community members to ask legislators questions about government at the state level. Illinois’ budget was on the

Parents offered child protection kits during free event last month

State Rep. Emily McAsey recently partnered with the Illinois Masonic Fraternity to host a free child identification program event for area residents. During the event, parents received a child protection kit, which included a DNA sample, fingerprints of their children, and

a flash drive containing a color photo and recorded interview. “The disappearance of a child is something no parent should have to endure, but it is important to be prepared,” McAsey said. “If a child is reported missing, having fingerprints, a DNA sample and a recent video will greatly assist law enforcement in the search.” McAsey said the Illinois Masonic Fraternity did a great job providing this service to local families, and encouraged anyone unable to attend the program to contact her office at 815-3720085 for more information.

The officials spoke of a strained legislature that sorely needed to find a compromise, fielding questions from residents from Bolingbrook to Shorewood. “The government has to work with a budget as does every other business or household,” area resident Cathy Weiss said. “We need checks and balances. There needs to be accountability for what money comes in and what money goes out.” Weiss added that she thinks an independent audit agency receiving state money would help control the spending.

constituents and the legislators themselves. Governor Bruce Rauner received criticism for vetoing the budget. Others at the meeting voiced their support for term limits in order to end what many in the crowded room considered the current “failed” way of doing business. As the outcome of the state’s stalemate continues to play out, representatives from area social service agencies were on hand to express their concerns. Patricia Bolden of the Chicago Coalition for the Homeless, representing one of the largest homeless shelters in the area, questioned how the agency can continue with potential drastic cuts to their funding. Manley told Bolden that

the legislators at the town hall meeting are fighting for her and individuals who do not have a voice in the community. “This is where we have to come together and look at spending and make cuts in the right places,” Manley said. “The government is not a business. We are a service provider, and it is the right of citizens to count on us to give the services they need.” Just how that is done, is yet to be decided. “Everyone in the Senate is fighting for their community,” Bertino-Tarrant said. “We have a very diverse district, with one end wanting one thing and the other end another. But I don’t speak to the audience, I speak to the truth.” Bolingbrook resident Steve

Prodehl asked the panel of lawmakers if they are in favor of budget cuts and where they would like to see those cuts made. “Are you in favor of raising taxes, because that’s what we’re going to have to do,” he stated. On government spending, Manley said state revenues have been stable for too long, as costs continue to rise. “They’ve used pensions like credit cards, and now we have a big problem,” she said. Though definitive answers weren’t given, the officials pointed out that they were holding these town halls to hear residents input and made a commitment to bring their concerns to the forefront. “We continue to make spending cuts and who we are as legislators are the people who have come

to serve you—our community,” McAsey said. Though McGuire likened the legislature to drunks careening from problem to problem, he still is trying to remain optimistic for the future. “Though the obvious problem, it is important to note that work still is getting done,” he said. He knows that people want predictability and stability. “The retiree wants to know if he or she can buy a car,” McGuire said. “The university president wants to know if they can build a building. The CEO wants to know if they can invest.” Bertino-Tarrant agreed. “We are all trying to do the right thing,” she said. “You have to understand that it is a hard process.”

Three time Charlie Westmont’s Donovan is baseball POY for 3rd straight season

By mike sandrolini sports reporter

mike@buglenewspapers.com @Voyager_Sport

The accolades keep coming for Westmont standout senior shortstop Charlie Donovan. Before the end of the season, Donovan got word that he had been selected as Gatorade Player of the Year in Illinois for baseball. “I got an email letting me know that he had gotten the Gatorade award as the best player in the state of Illinois and that’s just a great honor,” said Westmont coach D.J. Cocks. “The top player in the state no matter what class. It’s just an honor for him as a player and for us as a program to have that kind of recognition. It’s just amazing. I’m really proud of the way he is as player and as a person; he totally deserves it, but what an

honor, no doubt.” Donovan, who has been tabbed the Voyager Media Player of the Year for the third straight year, hit .484 with seven homers and 33 RB, 64 runs scored and 42 stolen bases. “I didn’t really expect it, but it was a very humbling thing,” Donovan said of the Gatorade award. “I think it’s just kind of a result of all the hard work I put in and the dedication I put in towards the game. There’s a bunch of other kids that could have got that award and they were deserving, but I guess all I could do at the end of the day is go out and have fun playing the game that I love.” He was drafted in the 30th round by the Milwaukee Brewers last month, but that selection likely reflected the fact that he stated prior

Christmas in July supports local nonprofit Heart Haven OutReach is preparing to host its primary fundraiser By Bugle staFF sweditor@buglenewspapers.com @romeovilleBugle

Known for its work in mentoring teens in the community, Heart Haven OutReach is preparing to host its primary fundraiser, the 12th annual Christmas in July. The event will be held July 15 at the Bolingbrook Golf Club, 2001 Rodeo Drive, Bolingbrook. The nonprofit organization,

reBuIld | from page 1 The village has budgeted $3 million for the project that is currently designed at 13,000 square feet, slightly smaller than its current size of 14,000 square feet. In comparison, the building would be similar to that of the newest station on Normantown Road.

fondly referred to as H2O, has been providing support and mentoring to struggling teens in the greater Bolingbrook/Romeoville area for more than 10 years. The organization was originally founded by community leaders to curb suspensions and expulsions in the high schools through support groups, one-on-one mentoring, character education programs, and healthy recreational activities. According to staff, the organization has reached out and transformed the lives of almost 2,000 teens since opening its doors. Through the generosity of WeatherTech, its presenting

sponsor, and other businesses in the area, the organization is able to offer a Christmas in July event complete with decorated Christmas trees, a Santa House, and a Candy Land. The event is meant to provide fun and entertainment throughout the day and into the evening. Golf registration will begin at 11 a.m. with a cook-out lunch served under the tent. A “Best Ball” golf Tournament will take place on the state of the art, 18-hole Arthur Hill designed Bolingbrook Golf Course with a 12:30 p.m. shot-gun start. The first-place foursome will go home with an elegant “crystal” traveling trophy. Besides golf, there will be

plenty of contests, prizes, and fun on many of the holes during the day. Individuals not inclined to golfing can still support H20 by attending the social hour and dinner event following the golf tournament. For $50 before the event or $65 at the door, tickets are available for a night of socializing, eating and networking. Tickets to the dinner event are included in the golf registration, which is $150 per person.

“It is important to note that we are not borrowing any money for this project,” said Noak. “We are constructing with money we have; so there is no issue there. It is not often you get to hear such a capital project get done with cash on hand but this is one of them.” The village has hired Dewberry Architects, the same that worked

on the village hall complex, to design six different options. Various versions will allow for a building with or without a basement and/or administrative space; brick versus siding and alternate design factors. The station will have minimized parking, however, a parking lot is available directly across the street. Once bids for the project come

in, the village board will choose the best option. In the interest of time, the relocation of the fire station and demolition will be done quickly. According to Fire Chief Kent Adams, the fire station will be moved to an industrial space nearby and will not affect dispatch or the way the station currently operates.

However, it rolled This year, however, all the way past the hole I was on my own, but and I had a 10-foot birdie teamed up with a putt. The green is quick foursome of seniors who the other way as well as it all shot in the 70s or 80s. is still downhill from the I took the trip to taylor’s take back. Geneva National Golf by scott taylor The third hole is an Club, which has three uphill par-3 with bunkers courses created by famous pro golfers: Arnold Palmer, in front of the green and a very fast green the slopes back to front. Gary Player and Lee Trevino. A par-5 fourth hole features On this trip I played the Arnold Palmer course and enjoyed the another dogleg right with bunkers around the green. The fifth hole is scenery and the challenges. It all starts on the range with a a dogleg left that is very hard to hit breathtaking view of Lake Como in the fairway on as you have to carry the bunker on the left and if you do, the background. The first hole is a preview of it is hard to stay in the fairway. The sixth hole is a downhill tee things to come – a dogleg. It is a short par-4 with a creek in front of shot on a par-4 and that leads to the green. A solid tee shot and the a reachable par-5 with a major hole plays as one of the easier holes sloped green and a big bunker in on the course, but a very nice hole front of the green. The front nine finishes with a nonetheless. The second hole is another par-3 over water and a par-4 that dogleg right that plays short as well has a rolling fairway that is tight in and has ample space for a drive. The spots. The 10th hole is a straightaway approach shot though is deceiving as the ball will run to the back of par-4 that is uphill at the green, the green if you hit the green in the making it a fairly long hole. That

leads to another straight hole, the 11th, which is a tough fairway to hit and has a tree on the left side of the fairway, blocking shots that are on the left side of the fairway or in the rough. That leads to a downhill approach shot at the par-4 12th that has water on the front right of the green. More water comes into play at the par-3 13th as it covers the right and front portions of the green. The 14th is a tricky par-5 as shots right can end up in the trees, while shots left can lead to block approach shots. The 15th is a dogleg right that has plenty of room to bail out to the left, making it a longer hole, or you can play close to the water on the right and have a much shorter approach. That sets up a spectacular couple of holes. The 16th is a par-3 that has the lake in the background but doesn’t really come into play. The bunkers in front of both sides of the green do come into play though. Then comes the 17th hole, which is a dogleg left par-5 that runs along the lake. The green is surprisingly right along the lake and any shot that goes long, or even is coming into the green fast, could go into the water. It is great to take a moment on the hole and enjoy the scenery on the hole. The 18th hole goes back to the

clubhouse and is a difficult hole with bunkers all around the fairway and green. A good drive can easily end up in a fairway bunker. Overall, the course is a joy to play. It offers a challenge as even from the white tees it has a 128 slope. The course plays fair tee to green, but the greens can be challenging with the slopes and speed. They do you no favors with some of the pin placements, either, as I saw many good puts run 5-10 feet by the hole, which can become frustrating. In April you can play the course for $49 during the week and $59 on the weekend. It goes up to $69-89 in the spring season and $75-109 in the summer, which goes from June 5-Sept. 27. With the difficult greens and a lot of guests playing the course, it can take some time to play. Our round took five hours. The best bet would be to stay the night there and get an early bird tee time and save some money, as it is pricey in peak times. If you are able to go in the spring or fall, it offers a great deal if the weather cooperates. If you are a golfer who likes great views and/or challenging greens, this is your course. I would recommend this course as a mustplay for many golfers, but for those who struggle on the greens, I would recommend improving first to get a full enjoyment out of the round.

Overview eneva g nationalpalmer Location: Lake Geneva, WI best feature: Lake Como is in view on multiple holes, making for a scenic round of golf. quick tip: Improve putting before playing to best attack challenging greens.
