VILLAGE NEWS >> ROMEOVILLE

Village reviews comprehensive plan Village focuses on diversifying employment opportunities, and providing for services By Laura Katauskas Bugle Staff @BugleNewspapers sweditor@buglenewspapers.com

In an effort to continue balanced growth, infrastructure and maintain an eye for directed development with the village’s goals intact, Romeoville leaders are in the process of reviewing its Comprehensive Plan for its future. The village’s existing Comprehensive Plan was adopted in 2001. According to minutes from the planning and zoning committee,

the updated Comprehensive Plan builds off the 2001 plan and provides a statement of policy for land use, transportation, infrastructure and development decisions. The proposed Comprehensive Plan also evaluates and plans for the East Side area in anticipation of the coming Metra Station, which the village just broke ground on along New Avenue. Key planning themes, according to Teska, revolve around advancing a balanced economic base; ensuring market-supportive strategies;

MORE INFO Comprehensive Plan In 2015, the village received a grant from the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) to hire consultants to update its Comprehensive Plan. Since 2016 Teska Associates, village staff, and Gruen + Gruen Associates, have been conducting research, public outreach and developing recommendations.

enhancing access and mobility; diversifying the housing stock; and leveraging community partnerships. In addition, the group was to ex-

amine continued plans for Uptown Square, and the Weber Road corridor seen as a village lifestyle center, employment center and commercial/entertainment center. The plan indicates that Romeoville’s legacy as an industrial town has provided a strong local economy and significant job growth. The industrial base will remain a dominant part of the village’s economy. However, diversifying employment opportunities, and providing for services, commercial, and entertainment uses that cater to needs of residents is necessary to create a more complete and sustainable

community. To ensure market-supportive strategies, the plan suggests encouraging development by introducing a broad range of uses to the community. A diversity of uses could support directly or indirectly the fiscal health of the village through additional tax revenue, new services, and supportive uses that make existing business more successful and enhance the stability of neighborhoods. The report indicates that fiscal sustainability is dependent on the ability of the village to withstand significant changes in economic trends, such as the rapid changes in retailing, loss of taxes, or decline of significant business sectors, such as manufacturing. Transportation planning would take a multimodal approach to ensure all modes are properly integrated into the design of the built environment, providing for safe and convenient routes for all travelers and connectivity between neighborhoods, shops, services, parks, open space, and other community amenities. Key to the plan would be diversifying its housing stock. Teska believes expanding housing options will ensure residents can age in place by finding suitable housing types that meet their changing needs over time without having to leave Romeoville. To meet this end, it is suggested that the village should promote housing policies that support the distribution of diverse housing types at varying price points. Planning and zoning members questioned how to handle challenges faced by a changing demographic in attracting restaurants to the area. Teska Associates stated that Romeoville has a strong population base with good density but faces some global challenges, with retail areas nearby such as The Promenade in Bolingbrook and the retail area in Joliet. However, in keeping with the Comprehensive Plan, Romeoville stands to be successful in creating high quality jobs with good pay while additional housing could drive the expansion of restaurants to the area.

FEATURES >> COMMUNITY >> SOUTHWEST SUBURBAN IMMIGRANT PROJECT

On the road to citizenship More than 100 immigrants are on their way to becoming citizens thanks in part to classes begun by the Southwest Suburban Immigrant Project

By Laura Katauskas Bugle Staff @BugleNewspapers sweditor@buglenewspapers.com

More than 100 immigrants are on their way to becoming citizens thanks in part to classes begun by the Southwest Suburban Immigrant Project in partnership with local libraries. After a 12-week course on citizenship preparation, more than 100 local legal permanent residents were recognized at the White Oak Library Romeoville Branch for successfully completing one of three courses offered by the Southwest Suburban Immigrant Project (SSIP) in partnership with three libraries, Fountaindale Public Library, Woodridge Public Library, and White Oak Library Crest Hill Branch. “We want to make sure our completing students know SSIP is committed to every step of their naturalization process, and we’ll be there for them as well when they register to vote, helping them to become fully engaged citizens,” says SSIP’s Director of Organizing Eliza-

beth Cervantes. For some, admittedly it was the opportunity to jump start the process and begin what many feel can be a daunting task. Organizers say the classes offer guidance for those that sorely need it and the goal is to help as many people as possible, noting today’s political climate, has created a sense of urgency and in some cases fear. Members of the SSIP and library staff who serve as volunteer mentors hope to ease the process and the fear through education. “We think it is important to serve our patrons and assist them with programs such as these courses that will open new paths for them,” said Crest Hill Branch Manager Amy Byrne. The next step for many of the completing students is to apply for naturalization, which they will be able to do with the guidance of SSIP and partner suburban agencies. Currently, the naturalization process takes anywhere from five to eight months. During this time,

an applicant should prepare with knowledge of the U.S. Constitution, civics, and English skills. But, not many organizations offer this resource outside the city of Chicago, and is why SSIP said it was necessary and a pivotal act to be serving this immigrant population in their process of becoming naturalized

U.S. citizens. A second opportunity for the courses will be offered in the fall at the White Oak Library Crest Hill Branch. For further information, call 630- 296-6755.

Experts weigh in on Affordable Care Act Town hall meeting hosted by Democratic Congressman Bill Foster, D-Naperville, last week at Presence St. Joseph Medical Center BY MEGANN HORSTEAD For the Bugle @BugleNewspapers sweditor@buglenewspapers.com

The future of the Affordable Care Act and health care loomed over a town hall meeting hosted by Democratic Congressman Bill Foster, D-Naperville, last week at Presence St. Joseph Medical Center. Talk of the potential repeal of the ACA, also known as Obamacare, brought in a number of people to discuss concerns and raise questions. “The decision by the Senate republicans to delay their vote is a direct response to the things constituents have expressed with what’s about to happen to their health care if the senate bill passes,” Foster said. Typically, the process of passing a health care bill requires lawmakers to formulate a proposal in the House and another version in the Senate. They will be merged together, and there will be a vote in both the House and Senate in an effort to agree on a compromise. Foster stressed that unfortunately, neither proposal is acceptable to millions of Americans. The forum featured discussion by a number of experts from health care professions, including Dr. Kathleen Burke, director of Substance Abuse Initiatives of Will County; A.J. Wilhelmi, president and CEO of the Illinois Hospital As-

sociation; Courtney Hedderman, associate state director of advocacy and outreach for AARP; and Perry Maier, executive director of Open Door Health Center Illinois. Also speaking on the panel was Joliet resident Clarice Hearne who shared her story. The 11th district constituent has dealt with depression and cancer. Hearne said she struggled to find adequate coverage earlier in her life while working as an adjunct professor, for nonprofits, and in administrative positions, and it wasn’t until later when she acquired a full-time job at the University of St. Francis that she attained the healthcare insurance she needed. When the ACA was passed shortly thereafter, Hearn recalls hearing gratitude expressed by several of her colleagues. Hearne retired from her fulltime job in 2015 and switched over to Medicare to meet her health care needs. Around that time, she was diagnosed with cancer for the second time. Hearne said she felt lucky to get the coverage she qualified for based on being over age 65. “Because of Medicare, I only had to pay about 5 percent,” she said. “Medicare coverage about 95 percent.” Hearne said she knows there are people who are just as needy who may not qualify for Medicare the way she does and questioned if the

DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSMAN BILL FOSTER, D-NAPERVILLE

system seems fair. “I sincerely believe that adequate health care is a human right, not a commodity to be sold on the market place,” she said. Several attendees and panelists questioned the agenda of Republicans in Congress, argued the bill would increase costs to patients and discussed the need for im-

proved veterans heath care. Foster wanted to thank the public for their willingness to attend the town hall meeting and said their input is critical. “That is why it’s so important that people have come out and engaged them in discussions, like we’re having today, and to make sure that congress understands the

implications of what they’re voting on,” Foster said. “Because it’s easy to sit in Washington and just say, ‘OK, they’re arguing about a budget numbers, and we’re going to cut this by some billions of dollars.” Foster voted against the repeal bill in May, at which point the measured passed in a vote by the House.

COUNTY NEWS >> FOREST PRESERVE DISTRICTS OF DUPAGE AND WILL COUNTY

Districts partner to connect DuPage River trail between two counties The Forest Preserve Districts of DuPage and Will County are partnering to connect Greene Valley Forest Preserve in DuPage County to Whalon Lake in Will County to create a critical connection to the planned 40-mile DuPage River Regional Trail system. The trail extension is slated to open in 2018.

The Forest Preserve District of DuPage County Board of Commissioners approved an intergovernmental agreement between the two agencies to provide for construction of a portion of the DuPage River Regional Trail within Greene Valley Forest Preserve. The District operates a trail system at Greene Valley, and the Will County Forest Preserve District operates a trail system at Whalon Lake, which is about one mile south of Greene Valley. The Forest Preserve District of Will County Forest Preserve District contacted the District with a plan to build the 1.25-mile trail

link with Elmhurst-Chicago Stone Company, which owns a quarry adjacent to Whalon Lake. The bi-county trail segment will extend from Whalon Lake to Greene Valley along Royce and Greene roads at no cost to the District. The District will maintain the 10-foot-wide crushed limestone trail within Greene Valley once it’s completed. The District has been working with various DuPage County agencies to develop the East Branch DuPage River Greenway Trail, a 31-mile bikeway that follows the East Branch DuPage River from Bloomingdale to

Woodridge. Once the trail passes into Will County, it becomes the DuPage River Trail and follows the DuPage River through Naperville. The trail will eventually connect to Channahon and the I&M Canal State Trail. “Residents of DuPage and Will County will greatly benefit from this trail link that will connect hikers and bikers to thousands of acres of open space and the extensive trail systems in both counties along the East Branch DuPage River and the DuPage River,” said Forest Preserve District of DuPage County President Joe Cantore. “It’s wonderful to see the col-

laborative efforts of two agencies produce benefits for the entire region,” said Forest Preserve District Commissioner Linda Painter, District 3. The Forest Preserve District of DuPage County has been connecting people to nature for more than 100 years. More than 4 million people visit its 60 forest preserves, 145 miles of trails, five education centers and scores of programs each year. For information, call 630-933-7200 or visit dupageforest.org, where you can also link to the District’s e-newsletter, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram and YouTube pages.

Our Brains and (Dis)organization Language is important in considering whole person, not defining by their limitations I belong to a terrific organization called the Institute for Challenging Disorganization (ICD), whose conferences and classes have taught me a great deal about how our brains work, especially when it comes to organization (and disorganization). This month I’m sharing a brief overview of what I’ve learned about several brain-based issues that may offer insight on why you may find getting and staying organized more difficult than you think it should be. I’ve indicated the presenter whose wisdom I’m sharing. You’ll notice I use “people first” language – e.g., rather than referring to someone as a hoarder, I refer to someone who hoards. This language is an important way of considering the whole person, rather than just defining him or her by their limitations. ADHD Our brains are a rain forest of diversity: differences among brains are as enriching—and essential—as differences among plants and animals. People with ADHD are hunters in a farmer’s world – they pay attention to distractions to facilitate survival in the wild. Instead of celebrating the natural diversity inherent in human brains, too often we diagnose and medicate those differences. Rather

COME TO ORDER By Sue Becker than focusing on the limitations of people with ADHD, think of everyone in the world as being one of hundreds of varieties of flowers that make for a beautiful field of flowers. If you have to function in an environment that isn’t well-suited to the way your brain thinks, make positive environmental modifications that will help you be more successful. (Dr. Thomas Armstrong of The American Institute for Learning and Human Development) HOARDING The daughter of a woman with hoarding disorder talked about how, when someone in the home hoards, hoarding defines the family culture. Objects, rather than family members, become the focus of the person who hoards. People who hoard are stimulated by an object’s smallest detail, which triggers creativity and generates unessential goals (e.g., “these margarine tubs will come in handy when I work on my craft projects”). These goals support the object’s value and override what one might otherwise view as reasonable decisions about letting go of the objects. People who hoard tend to procrastinate about

the projects they intend to undertake with those objects because of perfectionism (it’s better not to do anything than do it imperfectly) and doubt (it’s too uncomfortable to make a bad decision about what to let go of so I’ll keep all of it). This procrastination leads to the hoard getting larger – in essence the home is filled with intentions. The potential of the children often gets buried in hoarded homes. There is an online support community for children of hoarders: ChildrenOfHoarders.com. (Dr. Suzanne Chabaud of the OCD Institute of Greater New Orleans) STRESS Chronic stress actually shrinks the brain and is the number one killer in America. Stress has more to do with a person’s genetic “code” than with his or her circumstances. It is possible to change your brain’s propensity to be stressed by shifting the brain’s autopilot from stressed and anxious to peaceful. You can train your mind to change your brain to generate more joy in your work, more order in your life, more love in your relationships and more spring in your step. Attitude is the thing that makes you most powerful psychologically. Reducing stress is not about a to-do list, it’s more about the to-be list. The here and now is the one place where we don’t have stress – it’s thinking about the past and the future that causes stress. However, 85 percent of what we worry about ain’t gonna happen – breathe in, breathe out and move on. (Don Joseph Goeway, author of The End of Stress) I’d love to hear your thoughts on any of these topics, especially in terms of how they affect your ability to get or stay organized. Sue Becker is a Certified Professional Organizer in Chronic Disorganization who helps individuals and businesses discover the simplicity, harmony, and freedom of being organized and productive. She also speaks to companies and organizations about how to get organized and make the

Lewis to add women’s bowling, lacrosse Lewis University Director of Athletics Dr. John Planek announced on July 10 the addition of women’s bowling and women’s lacrosse to the NCAA Divi-

sion II offerings of the Flyer Athletics Department, beginning in 2018-19. The addition of these two teams increases Lewis’ scholar-

ship sport offerings from 20 to 22. Since 1980, Lewis has competed as one of 15 current member institutions of the Great Lakes Valley Conference. “We are very excited to announce the addition of these sports,” Planek said. “Women’s lacrosse is played in nearly 70 high schools in Illinois and we would be one of the few institutions offering scholarships. “It is one of the fastest growing sports in the country and particularly in the Midwest.” “Women’s bowling has also become a popular sport in Illinois,” Planek continued. “According to the Illinois High School Association website, there are 238 girls bowling teams and adding this to our portfolio increases opportunities for women to compete at the next level.” Lewis Senior Vice President for Enrollment Management, Marketing and Planning Ray Kennelly was equally as excited about the new Flyer sport additions. “With the addition of these

two new sports, we not only can increase our enrollment, but we will be able to recruit in markets that have traditionally been outside of our primary territories,” Kennelly said. “We feel it will enhance student life on campus as well as provide additional opportunities for intercollegiate athletic competition.” A coaching search for both teams will begin immediately. Lewis also announced that men’s bowling will be instituted as a club sport beginning in 2018-19 to add to the growing portfolio of 23 club sport opportunities. • On July 6, the Women’s Golf Coaches Association (WGCA) announced their list of AllAmerican Scholars which included five members of the Lewis University women’s golf team. Senior Melissa VanSistine (Rockford, Ill./Boylan Catholic) made the list for the third time in her career. Senior Amy Swanson (Somonauk, Ill./Somonauk), junior Katie Wortman (Minneapolis, Minn./St. Anthony Village),

and sophomore Madison Hill (Pekin, Ill./Pekin Community) all earned the honor for the second time. Making the list for the first time was junior Hannah Schultz (North Prairie, Wis./Mukwonago). In order to qualify for the AllAmerican Scholar Team golfers are required to have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.50. VanSistine finished with a 3.71, Swanson with 3.63, Wortman finished with 3.59, Hill had a 3.56, and Schultz finished with a 3.52. “Our teams have always emphasized academics, so it is very rewarding to see our women’s golf team perform at a high level in the classroom and have five of our members designated as All-American Scholars.” Lewis head women’s golf coach Skip Steffey said. “Madison, Melissa, Katie, and Amy are all multiple honorees, who along with Hannah had outstanding years in the classroom while also helping SEE COLLEGE PAGE 14

In the spring, Pabst was a pitcher and infielder for the baseball team and in the winter he was a leader for the basketball team. “He was a team captain and was 100 percent our leader,” said basketball coach Bob Williams. “He was the guy that could guard almost anyone. The best player on the other team was who he was going to take. His work ethic is second to none and he is a champion in every sense of the word. He is one of the best competitors I have ever been around.”

DOWNERS GROVE ZONE FEMALE: EMMA MORAVEC The argument can be made that a runner is a runner and just because someone runs distance races in cross country and track – they are not a multi-sport athlete.

But for Downers Grove North’s Emma Moravec, she is not running the distance races in both. In track, the senior placed second in the 800-meter run with a time of 2 minutes, 15.08. She also teamed with Gina Kowalewicz, Rachel Sprague and Kimberly Brent in the 4x400 relay to place fourth in 3:56.90. In cross country, Moravec was the lone Trojan to qualify for the state finals this season , placing in the top half of the field in the 3.1 mile course at Detweiller Park in Peoria. MALE: MARTY DOSEN The Benet two-sporter helped Benet come within striking distance of the state finals in two different sports. In football, the running back posted a combined yardage of nearly 1,100 yards and 13 touchdowns. He rushed for more than 900 yards and 10 scores. With his help, the Redwings fell in the Class 7A semifinals to eventual state champion East St. Louis. In baseball, the Voyager Media All-Area Team member batted .358 and drove in 32 runners. He had five home runs and 14 extra base hits on the season as Benet fell in the sectional final.

COLLEGE FROM PAGE 12 us reach the NCAA tournament for the third year in a row, a real achievement on both counts.” The Flyers finished the season in fifth place at the NCAA Super Regionals for the 2016-17 season. • The Great Lakes Valley Conference announced on June 30 that Lewis University sophomore forward Jessica Kelliher (Waukesha, Wis./Waukesha North) has been selected as the GLVC Winter/Spring Sports Scholar-Athlete of the Year for women’s basketball.

THURSDAY, JULY 13, 2017 | BUGLENEWSPAPERS.COM Kelliher, the 2017 GLVC Player of the Year, finished the 2016-17 school year with a perfect cumulative grade point average of 4.0. On the court, she led the conference in both scoring (19.7 ppg) and scored in double-figures in 31 out of 32 games, including 15 games of 20+ points and three games of 30+ points. The sophomore forward set a school-record with 18 baskets on 18-for-19 shooting to finish with 38 points against Maryville ( Jan. 14). The Waukesha, Wis., native also set a school-record with a field goal percentage of

65.2% (258-for-396), which was also the best in NCAA Division II. Kelliher has the best career field goal percentage (62.8%) of any active Division II player and the second-highest career scoring average (19.0 ppg.). Following the season, Kelliher was selected as a Division II Bulletin Third Team All-American and Division II Conference Commissioners Association (D2CCA) and Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) Honorable Mention All-American. Lewis finished the 2016-17 campaign with a record of 23-9 and advanced to its fifth consecutive NCAA Tournament.

ST. FRANCIS • Two-time 2017 NAIA Outdoor Track & Field All-American Raven Kelly (Romeoville, Ill./ Romeoville) has been named

the NAIA Midwest Region Outdoor Field Athlete of the Year by the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA), it was announced on Monday. Last month, Kelly became the first Saint in any outdoor sport to claim an individual national championship when she won the hammer event with a throw of 61.33 meters (201 feet, 2.75 inches). That performance came very close to the all-time NAIA outdoor record of 61.44 meters, falling just over four inches short. Kelly also earned all-american recognition in the shot put, where she placed third in the nation. The region honors for Kelly come on the heels of her garnering Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference (CCAC) Women’s Outstanding Field Per-

former of the Meet distinction at the league’s outdoor championships. At that meet, she won both the hammer and shot put events and placed third in the discus. Kelly finished her career gaining all-american status six times (four outdoor, two indoor). She joins teammate Jenna Moody (Plainfield, Ill./ Plainfield South) as a top regional performer, becoming the second Saint in as many years to earn the distinction. Moody claimed USTFCCCA Midwest Region Outdoor Track Athlete of the Year accolades last spring, the first year in which the award was presented. Kelly helped lead the Saints to an eighth-place team finish at the NAIA Outdoor Track & Field Championships last month, the highest-ever finish in the history of the program.

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.

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.

HAVE QUICK BREAKFAST FOODS AVAILABLE Smoothies, cereal bars, oatmeal, and whole-grain cereals are fast and nutritious ways to start 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 again. A few extra minutes each morning can make you feel more relaxed and make for a smooth, stress-free start to the day.

ATHLETICS

Help kids get ready for fall sports season Safety, allowing time for healing and equipment maintenance is key

don’t overdo it, as you should emphasize the importance of rest. GRADUALLY GET BACK IN THE SWING OF THINGS While rest gives kids’ bodies a chance to heal and develop, it’s important that young athletes stay in shape over the summer. As the fall sports season draws near, help kids gradually get back in the swing of things. Tryouts tend to be physically demanding, so kids who have not lifted a finger all summer may be at risk of injury or missing the cut. Let kids ease back into regular exercise to make sure they are not starting from scratch come their first tryout.

Summer is a season of relaxation, especially for school-aged children who are not yet old enough to work. Such youngsters no doubt enjoy the chance to spend summer days lounging poolside or at the beach, all without a care in the world or any homework to complete. Though summer is synonymous with R&R, parents of young athletes who hope to compete in scholastic athletics when the school year begins in autumn may need to take steps to ensure their kids aren’t at risk of injury once the curtain comes up on fall sports season. EXAMINE AND REPLACE EQUIPMENT IF NECESSARY The right equipment can protect kids from injury and help them realize their full athletic potential. But damaged or outdated equipment can increase kids’ risk of injury. Examine kids’ equipment long before fall sports season begins so you have time to bargain hunt should anything need to be replaced.

SCHEDULE A PHYSICAL FOR YOUR CHILD Many school districts mandate that athletes receive and pass physicals before they can compete. Speak with the athletic director at your child’s school to learn the guidelines that govern athletic physicals. The physical will need to be conducted by a predetermined date, but you may also need the physical to be conducted after a certain date for it to be considered valid. Speak with your

child’s physician if any problems are found during the physical. LET KIDS HEAL Kids’ schedules are busier than ever before, and many youngsters play several sports during the school year. Summer vacation may be the only extended period all year that youngsters’ bodies get to heal. While it’s important that kids stay physically active throughout the summer, make sure they

SPEAK WITH COACHES Coaches can be great assets to parents who want to make sure their youngsters enjoy the summer without sacrificing their chances of making the team in the fall. Speak with kids’ coaches to determine if there is any area your son or daughter can work on over the summer to improve his or her chances of making the team. Make sure kids are the ones leading the charge to improve their games; otherwise, they may feel pressured into doing so and that can take away the fun of playing sports.

COLUMN >> DAVE SAYS

Let Dad be mad; say ‘no’ to money risk DEAR DAVE, My dad wants me to buy a house on a 30-year loan for him and my mom in my name, and let them make the payments. I’m 24 years old and have a good credit score and a nice apartment, but my job depends largely on how the oil industry is doing. My dad filed bankruptcy nine years ago, and he’s already $150,000 in debt again, so he’s never been very responsible with money. I think this would spell big trouble for me, but I’m sure he

will be mad if I say no. What are your thoughts? EMMANUEL DEAR EMMANUEL, Yeah, I think doing something like this would spell big trouble for you. If your dad is irresponsible with money — especially to the point of having to file bankruptcy — what makes you think he’ll make these house payments on time? I know this would be an uncomfortable conversation to have with your dad, but you need to brace

yourself and just do it. Be respectful and explain exactly why you won’t

do this. Think about it, Emmanuel. When he doesn’t pay the bill on time, it’s going to screw up your credit score. And when you get ready to buy a house, guess what? You’re going to have trouble qualifying because you already own a house. Most people don’t make enough money to qualify to buy two homes. Basically, your dad is asking you to not buy a house so they can have one. I can’t tell you how to make your dad okay with saying

no to this, but I can tell you that your answer should be no. Let him and your mom know that you love them both, but this is something you just can’t do. —DAVE

COMMUNITY >> SENIORS

Senior Star to bring seminar on aging to realtors Senior Star at Weber Place, a prominent retirement community located in Romeoville, is entering the greater Chicago workforce to educate employers and employees on aging trends and resources. The organization provided a first-of-its-kind training for the Chicago Association of REALTORS® in June, offering a unique perspective on aging sensitivity to a group of professionals who work with thousands of Chicago families annually. With interactive workshops and an expert Senior Star presenter, REALTORS® became more knowledgeable on the growing needs of their clients who are in the 50+ age bracket. The presentation preceded the Seniors Real Estate Specialist® (SRES®) course, a designation for REALTORS® who are specially qualified to address the real estate needs of those age 50+. REALTORs® who choose to become an SRES® do so because they enjoy interacting with seniors, have respect for older individuals, and have the ability to listen deeply and ask the right questions. This distinction correlates with Senior Star’s mission of serving older adults with innovative programs, dignity and purpose, thus making this partnership highly valuable. “Our outreach is vital,” said Tom Johnsrud, executive director of Senior Star at Weber Place. “Not

only do we need to be prepared as a retirement community provider, we also need share our thoughts as leaders. There is immense value in understanding the resources available for aging adults and their families. This means reaching all business sectors to educate the working caregiver and employers as aging issues, including Alzheimer’s and memory care needs, are growing at a rapid pace.” Matt Silver, president of the Chicago Association of REALTORS® and partner at Urban Real Estate, said, “REALTORS® work in the community every day, touching thousands of families at all stages of life as we facilitate the home buying and selling process. Having gone through the simulation, in particular, I have a much greater appreciation of, and empathy for, the unique needs of my clients who suffer from one or many of the ailments facing our aging population.” Plans are underway for a presentation to the Mainstreet Organization of REALTORS®, the association that works with REALTORS® in the Chicago suburbs. A second Senior Star presentation to the Chicago Association of REALTORS® for early 2018 is also under consideration.
