Icc closes Strawn Drive; IDOT seeks postponement Thousands of trucks use road daily to access BNSF intermodal yard in Elwood By niCK reiher

MaNaGING EdIToR

nreiher@buglenewspapers.com @JolietILNews

As expected, the Illinois Commerce Commission voted Jan. 14 to close Walter Strawn Drive in Elwood by Jan. 28 due to safety concerns over increasing truck traffic in and out of the CenterPoint intermodals.

But officials from CenterPoint gained support from the Illinois Department of Transportation in keeping open the drive, -which includes a Union Pacific rail crossing just west of Illinois 53 – pending completion of an IDOT traffic study to determine the impact of closing the busy entrance to the CenterPoint BNSF yard.

Just a month ago, an ICC administrative law judge issued a preliminary order Walter Strawn Drive, built specifically to handle truck traffic into and out

pHoto by nicK reiHeri

the illinois commerce commission closed this intersection at illinois 53 and walter strawn Drive due to safety concerns. if the icc doesn’t grant an extension, it will close by Jan. 28. of Elwood’s BNSF yard in 2002, be closed due to an “immediate safety concern.”

Thousands of trucks use Walter Strawn Drive each day to into and out of the BNSF intermodal yard in Elwood, and to head north within the complex to the newer Union Pacific intermodal yard in Joliet. Together, and with other similar facilities, Will County is touted as the largest inland port in North America. Many of those

trucks also use Illinois 53.

Just south of Walter Strawn Drive is the entrance to the Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery. Administrative Law Judge Latrice Kirkland-Montague noted in December that heavy truck use on Illinois 53 due to the intermodal yards has caused hazardous traffic conditions with funeral processions. In one case, she noted, a truck was stuck on the Walter Strawn tracks as a

funeral procession blocked the intersection.

Kirkland-Montague also ordered that IDOT hold quarterly meetings, beginning in January, with the Union Pacific Railroad, CenterPoint, ICC and Elwood to coordinate long-term solutions to the traffic problems at the Walter Strawn Crossing.

At that point in midDecember, IDOT officials were on board with the Village of Elwood and others that wanted to close Walter Strawn Drive.

But on Dec. 23, John Fortmann, Deputy Director of Highways in IDOT Region One, sent a letter to Kirkland-Montague asking the ICC consider keeping the drive open to westbound traffic only.

The alternative would have trucks using the Arsenal Road interchange off Interstate 55, opened several years ago as a main entrance to the intermodals. But several years of work on the nearby Des Plaines River Bridge sent trucks looking for alternatives, mostly Illinois 53 south of Interstate 80.

In his letter, Fortmann said

area businesses have written to IDOT supporting safety at the intersection, but also noting the economic and environmental impact that closing the railroad crossing would have on their operations and on the immediate area.

As an example, he said, Bissell Homecare estimates the closure will result in an increase of 250,000 miles of truck travel miles to transport material to and from their distribution center on the east side of Illinois 53, resulting in increased C02 emissions of over 1 million pounds per year and increased truck traffic on Illinois 53 through Elwood.

“The Department recommends that a traffic impact study of the proposed detour routes (including those stated above) be completed prior to any partial or full closure of the Walter Strawn Drive railroad crossing in order to understand the effects on an already heavily used regional and local highway system and to allow for mitigation efforts in

Getting coverage through Affordable Care Act Enrollment increases in 2015

By Laura Katauskas staff reporter

katauskas@buglenewspapers.com @lkatauskas

Navigating the numerous insurance plans designed to offer affordable care can be daunting.

With the deadline to enroll approaching, numerous clinics are available and experts are encouraging residents to take advantage of the free assistance.

The Affordable Care Act is working to make health care more affordable and more accessible with numerous options for those in need of insurance and more people are taking advantage.

The Will county Health Department has a pool of Department of Insurance licensed Navigators available to help clients apply for health coverage.

Time is already running short.

Open enrollment for 2015 began November 15, 2014 and will end Feb. 15. There is no additional enrollment planned for 2015.

“The enrollment process can be lengthy for persons not familiar with the process, said Vic Reato, spokesman for the Will County Health Department. “An In-Person Navigator is specially trained to deal with enrollment issues and identify the most appropriate and cost-effective options for clients.”

He said people who wish to enroll on their own are certainly welcome to do so, but the InPerson Counselor program is specifically designed to accelerate the enrollment process and help clients get a health insurance plan that is just right for them.

“Education is key—there is still a huge population that still doesn’t understand the law and what it can give them,” said Richard Lawson,

Program Director of Navigator Services at VNA Healthcare. “It is just incredible that there are so many that are not aware of what benefits are out there.”

Initiatives like those sponsored

by VNA which has a new satellite office in Romeoville (48 S. Weber Road) and another in Bolingbrook (396 Remington Boulevard) and those sponsored by the Will County Health Department walk people through the application process to find out if they are eligible to sign up for insurance through the Illinois Health Marketplace or qualify for Medicaid.

Lawson said it is important for first-timers to come in for help as well as those that are re-enrolling because some of the plans have changed from last year offering better pricing. He said the way things are being calculated is different this year, which could result in significant savings for some. v Illinois has expanded Medicaid and, as of this July, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services reports that more than 327,959 Illinoisans have gained Medicaid or Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) coverage since the beginning of the Health Insurance Marketplace’s first open enrollment period in October, 2013.

In addition, a report released by the Department of Health and Human Services shows in the first detailed analysis of enrollment in the Marketplaces for the first month of the 2015 open enrollment period that about 87 percent of people who selected health insurance plans through HealthCare.gov for coverage beginning Jan. 1 were determined eligible for financial assistance to lower their monthly premiums,

compared to 80 percent of enrollees who selected plans over a similar period last year. According to the Health Marketplace, all

health plans must offer the same essential health benefits, such as doctor visits, prescription drugs, hospitalization, maternity and newborn care, and preventive care.

There are four types of plans including Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum and are based on how clients and the plan expect to share the costs for health care. Lawson said it depends on whether you qualify for a tax credit or cost sharing, which then determines which plan would be most beneficial.

The category a client chooses affects how much your premium costs each month and what portion of the bill you pay for things like hospital visits or prescriptions. In general, the lower the premium the higher the outof-pocket costs will be when you need care. Premiums are usually higher for plans that pay more of the medical costs. A quick search on the Health Marketplace for a family of four, earning $40,000 a year, resulted in nearly 60 different plans. In-Person Navigators can help pick apart the plans to help

clients choose the right one and provide an objective answer.

Lawson advises clients to come in with a mindset for what it most important to them, be it keeping the same doctors, cheaper premiums (which raises your deductible), or lower out-ofpocket costs.

Will County Health Department records indicate that through Dec. 2014, the In-Person Counselor Program enrolled 400 clients in an affordable health insurance plan through the Affordable Care Act. That’s up from 208 clients for the same time period last year.

The deadline to apply for insurance is fast approaching and is set for Feb. 15. Reato said they are expecting even more numbers to come in the last half this enrollment period, already seeing call volume reserved for inquiries about the Affordable Care Act up by 40 percent. In the 2013-2014 enrollment period, approximately 50 percent of the total enrollments came during the last 30 days.

“Our In-Person counselors are primed and ready to go,” said Reato.

Registration underway for Southwest Suburban Piano Fest Interested student pianists in Valley View can apply until Jan. 26 Interested student pianists in Valley View School District 365U have until Jan. 26 to apply for a spot in the Southwest Suburban Piano Festival.

Scheduled for April 11 at Bolingbrook’s First Presbyterian Church of DuPage, the event for students ages 8 to 18 currently enrolled in private piano instruction is being coordinated by the Southwest Suburban Harmony Project. Participants do not need to attend Valley View schools.

This year’s festival format will differ from previous more competitive formats in that each entrant will perform before a judge and will receive both written and verbal critiques based on the piece

and scales being performed.

“In keeping with the goals of the Southwest Suburban Harmony Project, the event will give students a chance to grow in their artistry at their own level and pace,” said SSHP Director Linda Kurtz, who is a VVSD guest teacher and longtime piano instructor. “Younger beginners to more advanced students preparing for competitive performance can benefit from this experience.”

Participants who earn a gold medal will be eligible to perform in the 4 p.m.

Meda Thompson Honors Recital named after the former VVSD administrator who passed away several years ago.

Dr. Thompson’s family members will present the honor students with their gold medals after the performances.

Registration forms are available by contacting Kurtz at sshpmusic@ gmail.com or 630-759-8843. The non-refundable registration fee is $40.

Registrations are limited to the first 125 applicants.

And since Czerkies pulled his money, his parents’ names – large or small -- will not be on any new one.

Yet you continue to sling mud and wind up conspiracy theories. It has been said this is all political, with the end game coming with the April 7 municipal election.

January heats up with chili cook-off fundraiser Third annual BigBrothers Big Sisters event set for Jan. 25

By Annie Alleman For the bugle

sweditor@buglenewspapers.com @BugleNewspapers

Is your chili the best in Joliet?

It’s time to put your chili powder where your mouth is, and go crock-to-crock with some of the best chili chefs in town.

The DogHouse Pub in Joliet is hosting the third annual Chili Cook-Off to benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters of Will and Grundy Counties on Jan. 25.

To enter your chili, cooks must register at the DogHouse Pub or at Big Brothers Big Sisters, located at the John S. Mortimer Building, 417 W. Taylor St., Joliet, and pay a $10 entry fee. (If you just want to show up for the chili, the cost is $5.)

Cooks need to bring in their crocks (6 quart or larger) between 10:30 and 11 a.m. Judging is at 1 p.m., and chili is served to the masses at 1:30 p.m.

“What makes our chili cook off unique is that we use professional judges for the cook off,” said Lisa Morel Las, chief executive officer of Big Brothers Big Sisters. “We limit the number of contestants to 20, and we’re looking for any

kind of chili you want to bring.

“You can bring any variety, as long as it’s chili. We have professional chefs who volunteer to judge, and each chili is judged on its own merit, so there’s no cheese or crackers or anything extra added. However they bring it in their pot is how it is. After the judges have evaluated the chili, then we open it up for everybody to taste all the different chili variations. Then people can put what they want on it – cheese and other toppings.”

Chilis are awarded the top three places, and there’s also a people’s choice award.

Be prepared to have your taste buds tickled, she said.

“People are amazed at the different varieties of chili,” she said. “We’ve had all different kinds of chili. We’ve had vegetarian chili, chili made with wild game, we’ve had chocolate chili, we’ve had white bean chili. It’s really a broad spectrum. Anyone who has a famous or popular or passed down recipe, this is the opportunity to come and show it off.”

If you get thirsty, you’re in luck -- the DogHouse offers a Bloody Mary bar and drink specials during the event.

“The last two years, it’s been packed,” Las said.

“We’ve completely filled the bar and filled the parking lot. I recommend

people come early.”

They even book a Frank Sinatra impersonator to entertain the audience.

“Everyone’s crazy about him,” she said. “People are singing along and really enjoying that. It’s a lot of fun.”

This cook-off isn’t sanctioned by any national chili governing body, but all the money goes straight to BBBS. So while you won’t advance to the next round of the national chili cook-off finals, you will be helping local kids.

“We have over 70 kids on the waiting list right now, waiting for a mentor,” she said. “That’s where the money goes – to help us do recruiting and things like that.”

NUMBER 1 Undefeated Flyers remain nation’s top ranked team in NCAA Division-II

By marK gregory spoRTs REpoRTER

mark@buglenewspapers.com @Hear_The_Beard

Basketball fans looking for an exciting brand of women’s basketball these days don’t need to look toward UCONN, Baylor or Tennessee, in fact they don’t even need to turn on the television.

A quick ride down Route 53 finds the Lewis University Flyers who are off to a 17-0 start to the season and ranked No. 1 in the nation in NCAA Division II. Lewis pushed that streak to 17 Saturday with a 101-82 win over Great Lakes Valley Conference foe Illinois-Springfield at Neil Carey Arena.

The win tied the Flyers for the most points scored this season and gave Lewis its first ever 7-0 start in conference play in program history.

The Flyers took their first double-digit lead of the game at 19-9 on a free throw by Jess Reinhart less than six minutes into the game.

earned their first 20-point lead of the contest at 41-21 on a pair of free throws by senior Jamie Johnson. The Flyers built a halftime lead of 64-35 and never looked back. The 64 points in the opening half are the most in a half by Lewis this season.

Johnson led all scorers with 29 points on 11-of-15 shooting.

She was joined in double digits

by Mariyah Brawner-Henley, who tallied 24 points and 11 rebounds. Reinhart added 16 points, while Alexus Grayer finished with 13 points and Kristin Itschner had 10.

Nikki Nellen tied her career high with 10 assists.

For the Flyers, being No. 1 in the nation hasn’t changed the way they approach playing the game.

“Game day is game day,” Johnson said. “We practice all week and we look forward to this. We are going to come out with fire and intensity. It is fun to win, but I feel like we have been getting better every game.

Romeoville to send three bowlers to sectional meet Six total Valley View boys bowlers advance

By Scott Taylor sports editor

staylor@enterprisepublications.com @Taylor_Sports

While Valley View did not advance a team to the sectional meet, it will be well represented there.

Three Romeoville and three Bolingbrook bowlers qualified

individually out of the Bolingbrook Regional Saturday, Jan. 17 at the Brunswick Zone in Woodridge and advanced to the Plainfield North Sectional Saturday, Jan. 24 at the Brunswick Zone XL in Romeoville.

The top six teams at the sectional and seven individuals not on those teams will qualify

for state.

SPARTANS Cody Surges led the way for the Spartans, finishing in fourth place overall with a 1,298 total.

“I threw the ball pretty good and missed a few easy spares,” Surges said. “I left a lot of 10-pins. I had my on games and my off games. I knew I had to come back big and

Spartans struggle on offense, fall to Lyons

By Scott Taylor sports editor

staylor@enterprisepublications.com @Taylor_Sports

Romeoville went into its game Jan. 14 against Lyons knowing it had to play a great game to beat the 13-3 squad.

The Spartans (13-10, 4-4) struggled offensively at times

in a 50-26 loss to the Lions.

“They are 13-3 and they are a good team,” Romeoville coach Julio Carrasco said. “We knew they had some shooters. I didn’t anticipate us missing that many shots. Defensively in the first half I thought we played great. They made some nice adjustments. But it is hard to

win when you score 26 points.”

Romeoville fell behind 13-2 early, but battled back to make it 17-15 before trailing 23-15 at the half. Lyons pulled away in the second half.

Flyer men use second half surge to rally past UIS Men, women both win Illiana Invite titles The Lewis University men’s basketball team used a 29-4 run over the opening 11 minutes of the second half on their way to the 8154 Great Lakes Valley Conference victory over Illinois Springfield at Neil Carey Arena on Saturday (Jan. 17) afternoon.

Lewis’ backcourt of seniors Ryan Jackson (Bolingbrook, Ill./ Riverside-Brookfield), Jeff Jarosz (Lyons, Ill./Morton) and freshman Max Strus (Hickory Hills, Ill./Stagg) combined for 21 points during that run. Jackson (16 points) propelled Lewis during that stretch with eight points, followed by seven from Strus and six from Jarosz (11 points).

Strus finished with game-highs in points (19), rebounds (8), assists (3) and steals (4).

“I thought we came out in the second half and played with great energy,” Lewis head men’s basketball coach Scott Trost said.

“We just have to keep grinding, keep working and keep getting better.

“We took some steps this week and it’s going to get tough here in a hurry.”

With the win, Lewis irmproves to 12-3 overall and 4-2 in GLVC action, while the visiting Prairie Stars drop to 6-8 on the campaign and remain

Lexi Marin finished with 11 points and three steals, while Jahari Smith tallied eight rebounds.

“There were a lot of positives, she is only a freshman,” Carrasco said of Smith. “She owned the glass and was played against a 6-2 girl and I think she outrebounded her.”

The Spartans scheduled Lyons to add a strong nonconference opponent to get them ready for the rest of conference play and the postseason.

“Last year we played Naperville Central and I think they hit 15 threes on us in the Martin Luther King game,” Carrasco said. “We wanted to

The Prairie Stars were held scoreless over the first 4:32 of the final stanza. For the game, UIS shot 34.5% (19-for-55) from the field and 33.3% (8-for-24) from threepoint range. Lewis’ defense forced 13 miscues, which led to 16 points for the Flyers. The Flyers recorded 10 steals on the afternoon, tying a team-season high.

UIS was paced offensively by junior guard Davi Austin, who had 15 points and a team-best five rebounds, while juniors Jamall Millison (2 treys) and JJ Cravatta (4 treys) each contributed 12 points in the loss.

Women’s Track Lewis University junior Chantel Stennis (Bolingbrook, Ill./ Bolingbrook) won two events to pace the Flyer women’s track and field team to the Illiana Invitational title at the Student Recreation and Fitness Center Fieldhouse on Friday (Jan. 16) evening.

Stennis won both the 55-meter dash (7.23) and 400-meter dash (57.06). The 57.06 was a NCAA Provisional mark and a career-best time for the Bolingbrook, Ill., native.

Her efforts helped the Flyers out-

play somebody very competitive right now. Not to say our conference isn’t competitive because it is. But this is one of the top teams. They have a great outside shooting team and an inside presence. They shift defenses around. It is nice for our guards to see that. We’ll watch the film and we’ll adjust and hopefully get better.”

The night prior to the Lyons game, the Spartans defeated Plainfield East 42-30. Marin scored 11, while Cherish Smith and Diamond Dortch (4 assists) each had 10 points. Cherish Smith had nine rebounds and Jahari Smith recorded eight rebounds.

Carrasco is pleased with the direction the Spartans are headed.

“Defensively we’ve gotten a lot better,” Carrasco said. “This is the highest scoring game we have given up in the past three or four games and a lot of that was our fault with turnovers.

The Flyers also received a NCAA Provisional mark and a victory from junior Amber Cook (Grayslake, Ill./ Warren Township) who won the triple jump with a leap of 11.59m (38’ 1/4”). She beat teammate Keanu Taylor (Bourbonnais, Ill./ Bradley-Bourbonnais), who was second in the event with a jump of 11.24m (36’ 10 1/2”).

Flyer senior Kayla King (Chicago, Ill./Mother McAuley) and freshman Zoe Mead (Princeton, Ill./Princeton) both finished second to Stennis in their respective events. King, who also won the long jump (5.4m/17’8 1/2”), crossed the 55-meter finish line in 7.39, while Mead was a runner-up in the 400-meter dash (1:00.55).

Mead also ran a leg of the second-place 4x400 relay (4:14.07) along with sophomores Stephanie Nielsen (Racine, Wis./Case), Courtney Cross (Homewood, Ill./Homewood-Flossmoor) and junior Tiarra McGee (Chicago, Ill./ Steinmetz).

the season is we can’t finish.

I’m wondering what to do coaching-wise because we can’t make layups. We’re running the offense and the offense looks great, but we’re not setting good screens. We need to be more physical with our screens.”

Flyer senior Roslyn Summerville (Wauconda, Ill./Wauconda) rounded out the winners for Lewis, as she captured the weight throw title with a toss of 16.24m (53’3 1/2”).

Flyer sophomore Mollie Dalton (Hoffman Estates, Ill./Conant) placed second in the 1,000-meter run (3:15.23), while classmate Jackie Marchildon (Saline, Mich./Saline) was a runner-up in the pole vault with a mark of 3.00m (9’10”). Lewis sophomore Phoenix Smallwood (Princeton, Ill./Princeton) finished second in the long jump with a leap of 5.3m (17’4 3/4”).

Student Recreation and Fitness Center Fieldhouse on Friday (Jan. 16 night).

Jean-Paul claimed the high jump title with a leap of 2.14m (7’ 1/4”), while Barr - the reigning Great Lakes Valley Conference Indoor Field Athlete of the Week - was victorious in the weight throw with a heave of 19.00m (62’4”).

Lewis finished with 146 points, outdistancing second-place St. Francis (Ill.), who totaled 113 points on the evening.

Lewis freshman Devin Ingram (Minooka, Ill./Minooka), the reigning GLVC Indoor Track Athlete of the Week, won the 200-meter dash (23.14), nipping sophomore Rapher Ryan (Willowbrook, Ill./Nazareth Academy) by one hundredth of a second at 23.15.

Lewis sophomore Eric Herbert (Shorewood, Ill./Minooka) won the pole vault with a mark of 4.20m (13’9 1/4”), while classmate Shawn Milhauser (Pontiac, Ill./Pontiac) was victorious in the 1,000-meter run (2:32.37).

Jacob Hubbs qualified after rolling a 1,276.

“Not even through the first game I had to jump 10 boards left,” Hubbs said. “All in all, the shot stayed pretty consistent and had to just keep it going. The last game I made a couple of rookie mistakes and let it get under my skin.”

Jim Comparetto also advanced after shooting a 1,267.

All three bowlers have experience at the Brunswick Zone in Romeoville.

“Heading into next week, hopefully I can do it,” Surges said.

“I just have to make good shots, pick up spares and not get down on myself. There will be a lot of pressure and a lot on my mind, but I just have to get it done.”

“Everyone wants to finish their senior year strong. I think this is the team to do it. Of my four years, this team has the best chemistry and best talent to get us where we want by the end of the season. We have built to this. We were not very good my freshman year, my sophomore

The Spartans were in third place after four games, but had to settle for sixth place overall with a 5,931. Plainfield Central won with a 6,161.

Matt Strzechowski fired a 1,294 to lead the Raiders and qualify for sectionals.

“It is a little disappointing we didn’t make it as a team,” Strzechowski said. “But it is a good opportunity for me to go individually and possibly make it to state individually. I just have to see what next week brings and practice hard. I’m really happy with how I bowled.”

Greg Page (1,243) and Steven Stropkovic (1,207) also qualified for sectionals.

“Last year I was terrible and I practiced so hard over the summer to get on varsity,” Page said. “I worked my butt off. Every Sunday I would go to lessons and I got to here. I’m so happy this paid off. Since I’m left handed, I had the same shot every time. I stayed focused on my target and made my shot.”

“I’m pretty thrilled because it is sectionals, but it wasn’t actually all that good,” Stropkovic said. “I bowled pretty average. It is my home center, so I should have done better. Next week I will try

to do what I can.”

The Raiders competed in a pair of tournaments hosted by Plainfield North earlier in the season.

“I think I will do fine,” Strzechowski said. “I have the experience. I have to stay calm and don’t get mad if I split. I can’t focus on the other guys, I just have to focus on myself.”

“I have to stay confident and get spares,” Page said. “I have to keep my mental game tough.”

Bolingbrook finished in the unlucky fifth position with a 6,026, 31 pins away from fourth place Plainfield North at the regional.

Coach Lisa Carlsen said this Lewis team has the experience needed to hold the country’s top ranking and not faze them.

“This is a group that has played together for a long time

and they have played in some pretty big ball games,” she said.

“In the last few years, we have had good runs and been in tight games and this is the group that has done it, so it takes a lot to rattle them.”

While all the players and coaches enjoy being No.1, Johnson is quick to point out

that having the nation’s top billing 17 games into the season is good, but not the ultimate goal.

“It is fun, but what matters is who is No. 1 at the end of the season,” she said. “It is fun, but it doesn’t really mean much right now, we are just trying to hold on to this until the end.”

Should you consider getting an umbrella policy?

A really good thing to have extra umbrella insurance policy in liability situations By dave ramsey dave says

www.daveramsey.com @DaveRamsey

Dear Dave, I follow you on Twitter, and I was wondering if you recommend buying an umbrella policy. If so, how much?

Dean Dear Dean, If you’ve started to win with money and build some wealth, an umbrella policy is some of the cheapest insurance you can buy. It’s just about the biggest bang for your buck.

Here’s an example. In most states, you can get an extra $1 million in liability coverage

Michael Scotti III, attorney for CenterPoint, said while the ICC board voted unanimously to close Walter Strawn Drive, it also agreed to consider Fortmann’s request.

If the ICC agrees, he said, a hearing could be set just before the Jan. 28 deadline.

Despite Elwood village officials’ claims to the contrary, CenterPoint officials do focus on safety, at Walter Strawn Drive, and otherwise, said Michael Murphy, Chief Development Office for CenterPoint Properties, in a press release.

“CenterPoint continues to believe that closing Walter Strawn Drive will create hazardous conditions in areas not currently suited to handle the capacity of industrial traffic,” Murphy wrote.

“Without conducting a regional traffic impact study to consider the effects of displaced traffic, we are convinced the displacement of thousands of vehicles each day from the closed crossing, without a defined route in place to access the Intermodal Center, will cause more damage and harm on regional traffic, resulting in unwanted and potentially

hazardous situations.”

State Sen. Pat McGuire, D-Crest Hill, urged all parties to continue working together on a solution.

“This is a temporary solution to a problem which isn’t going to go away,” he said of closing Walter Strawn Drive. “All the parties, public and private, need to work together to find lasting remedies to the traffic hazards which run south from the I-80 Chicago Street exit.”

Mark Schneidewind, Will County Farm Bureau manager, agreed with Fortmann that closing Walter Strawn Drive will have serious effects on business, including the area agriculture industry that has boomed in the past few years using just-emptied containers coming from the West Coast for shipping grain that way and on to China.

But they also know well the importance of safety.

“We have always stressed safety, as we talk three times a year when the farmers are planting, doing field work in the summer and harvest time to be aware of the farm machinery on the roads,” he said. “But area Ag businesses are concerned about the closure of Walter Strawn Road because this would add miles to their delivery and would also make going to the intermodal not as attractive.

“For some, it could be still worth it, but others are considering not

using CenterPoint as a delivery location, or even possibly not using containers for shipping anymore until the entrance issue was resolved.

“We will be working with the businesses affected to see what we can do to help them with this latest ruling.”

Truck traffic going to and from the intermodals also increased when IDOT began renovating the Des Plaines River Bridge on Interstate 55 several years ago.

Drivers in a hurry did not want to get stuck in traffic there, so they would use Illinois 53 to go to and from the intermodals instead of using the new interchange at Arsenal Road.

The bridge construction was done this past summer, but not before six people died in two separate truck-related accidents in that area. Dozens had been injured in other accidents related to the construction.

The issue has been going on for more than a year. Initially, the Village of Elwood tried to close Walter Strawn Drive at Baseline Road, which connects the two intermodal yards on its own.

However, a group that included CenterPoint and the Union Pacific were able to secure a temporary restraining order to reopen the road, and the Elwood Village Board later voluntarily rescinded the ordinance that closed it.

If he seriously wants to get into some financial counseling and start becoming accountable for his money — to himself and to you — then you might consider helping him out financially. But at this point, you’re giving a drunk a drink if you just hand him money because he wants it. he’s your son, and he’s hurting right now. Still, it takes a ton of arrogance to beg money from someone and tell them the reason they don’t have it is not their business.

If he seriously wants to get into some financial counseling and start becoming accountable for his money — to himself and to you — then you might consider helping him out financially. But at this point, you’re giving a drunk a drink if you just hand him money because he wants it.

Anyone can make a mistake, Dee. But it’s not your job to fund his irresponsible behavior or his arrogance!
