ELECTION 2017 >> SHOREWOOD VILLAGE BOARD

Q & A: Board candidates express views Incumbents Daniel Anderson, Daniel Warren, candidates Lona Jakaitis and Clarence “CC” DeBold vie for 3 board positions BY MEGANN HORSTEAD For the Bugle @BugleNewspapers sweditor@buglenewspapers.com

The Shorewood Village Board has a contested race in the April 4 election for trustee. With three seats at stake, incumbents Daniel Anderson and Daniel Warren are vying for re-election in a race that includes candidates Lona Jakaitis and Clarence “CC” DeBold. Trustee Edmund Murphy is not running to retain his post. Candidates expressed why they’re running, discussed what makes them best fit to serve, identified the top three issues facing Shorewood and outlined how they might address them via the Shorewood Sentinel’s candidate questionnaire.

Why are you running for village board? JAKAITIS: I believe in being involved in my community. I want to proactively serve the residents of Shorewood. My mission is to listen to and to communicate with fellow residents regarding their needs and their ideas and bring those matters to the board for consideration. Shorewood continues to grow as a family-oriented community with business development, but with that comes challenges. I want to be part of the solution and serve as a voice for the residents. WARREN: I am running for re-election because I want to continue making Shorewood a great place to live and raise a family. I have raised two children in Shorewood, and it has been a wonderful experience. I would like for all individuals and families that come to Shorewood to have the opportunity of feeling this town is a caring and safe place to live. I would like to bring in more business to keep taxes as low as possible, while still maintaining that small-town feel. Change is a good thing if it is done correctly. DEBOLD: I am running in this election to be an active voice in the community I grew up in and live in. I feel that I can bring a fresh perspective to different elements

of the village. I want to be sure the village maintains fiscal responsibilities by keeping our taxes as low as possible and keep village tax dollars spent wisely. ANDERSON: I have been involved with our community while growing up here. I was 15 years old when I joined the Troy Volunteer Fire Department Cadet program. I moved up to firefighter at age18 and stayed involved for 32 years. I was voted as Fireman of the Year in 1986. I served as president and treasurer for many years. I decided to run for village board because I like being involved with the community. I want to serve and be involved in the decisionmaking that makes our community better for everyone that lives here.

What makes you a solid candidate ﬁt to serve on the village board? JAKAITIS: I have been a resident for 25 years and am active in the community. I have extensive knowledge of how government entities work, including how they can work together to better serve the constituents. My strong desire to make Shorewood a community for families means I will work for them. I have regularly attended board meetings and will be able to begin serving immediately. As a member of the Louis Joliet Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution, I have planned, organized, led and supported activities for our veterans. I will use these same skills to work for Shorewood as a trustee. My fitness as a candidate has been recognized by the Operating Engineers Local 150, which endorsed only me for Shorewood trustee. WARREN: I have experience serving and leading the community in various capacities. I served as a past vice president and president of Troy Fire Protection District. I served as planning and zoning commissioner for four years before being elected to the Shorewood Village Board of Trust-

ees, where I’m currently fulfilling my first term as a trustee. Additionally, I serve as vice chairman of the planning and zoning commission and vice chairman of public works committee. I listen to all of the facts and public opinions and base my decisions on what the facts are and what would be best for ALL of Shorewood, not just now but also for future Shorewood residents. I am honest and straightforward. I don’t play the political games. If it is the best thing for the residents, then it is good for the village. DEBOLD: I feel that I am a solid candidate for the village board, because of my strong work ethic and experience as a small business owner. I also was a volunteer fire fighter in the community before becoming a career firefighter/ paramedic. From being a business owner to helping people in emergency situations, I am able to make tough decisions that will benefit the village as a whole. ANDERSON: I’d like to think that growing a small business that started out working along side my grandfather and two employees to a business that has grown to 24 people has had a lot to do with why. I have learned that we have to all work together to achieve our goals, listen to other opinions and ideas, and be flexible and willing to change. I always keep in mind that I am here working for the whole community, not just a few with their own interests in mind.

What do you think are the top three issues facing the Village of

Shorewood? Explain how you might help the board in addressing them. JAKAITIS: The No. 1 one complaint I hear from residents is truck traffic, especially along River Road, Seil Road and Mound Road, to and from the warehouses. I have witnessed trucks coming into subdivisions to turn around. This creates a dangerous situation for residents. I would work with the Shorewood Police to see increased patrols on village roads and bring in the Will County Sheriff’s Department to patrol unincorporated roads. I would work with the warehouses to educate drivers about the truck routes. I would make sure that designated truck routes in the Village are well-marked. If the City of Joliet is successful in building the multifaceted retail development at I-80 and I-55, Shorewood will face even more truck and commuter traffic. This will impact the quality of life of all our residents. Another issue is the depletion of the aquifers in Shorewood and western Will County. The Village is in the process of getting Lake Michigan water, but until that is in place, conservation is necessary. As western Will County continues to grow, the potential lack of drinking water is a major issue. According to the Illinois Water Survey Group, the current aquifers will be depleted within the next decade. We need to educate our residents on the importance of conservation. Creation of a riverwalk along the DuPage River is another project the village should address. The Village of Shorewood has talked about creating a riverwalk since 1996. I would like to be part of the team that works with business owners to see this finally become a reality. The City of Naperville has a thriving downtown centered on their riverwalk. I believe that we can bring restaurants and retail to the area to create a family-friendly area making Shorewood a destination. WARREN: Our town’s water supply is drying up, and we have begun the process of getting Lake Michigan water to the village thanks to the referendum passed by the citizens. There is more to do on that front, and I want to see it

through. We need more businesses in Shorewood. We have already and continue to reach out and entice companies to build or expand. With the economy looking to be a little more stable, more businesses will come. The gas and wash, for example, that place serve as a great addition to that corner and offers huge benefits for ALL residents, especially those living on that edge of town. With the success they experienced, this should bring more interest to that part of the village. Due to the village’s growth, which is a good thing, we are in need of a newer and larger facility for the public works department. This would be a big expense. We need to do this without raising taxes and pulling back the rebates. DEBOLD: One of the village’s top issues would be responsible growth. We need to work on expanding our business development along Rt.52, and keep residential growth as well. Businesses are vital to the economic engine of the village & residents like to have different amenities readily available. Another important issue facing Shorewood would be to complete the Lake Michigan water project. It has been shown that the ground water supply for the area is slowly decreasing. The village has passed a referendum to secure lake water and the beginning steps have begun. I want to see this thru in a timely and fiscally responsible manner. Lastly, I feel the village needs to stay on top of village services. As business and residential growth occur, we need to be sure our infrastructure, police, and public works departments are adequately staffed to keep up with the growing needs of our village. ANDERSON: Getting Lake Michigan water to Shorewood: A sustainable quality water supply for our future is a must. Development at our Towne Center: The recently proposed development at Rock Run on the east side of I-55 in Joliet. This development will have a very big traffic impact on Shorewood with the interchanges, bridges and increased traffic that may affect our roads.

ELECTION 2017 >> JOLIET CITY COUNCIL

A candidate luncheon, hosted by the Joliet Region Chamber of Commerce &, featured introductions by 11 of 15 individuals running for open at-large city council positions.

Council candidates express views, interests Candidates vying for one of three at-large council positions BY MEGANN HORSTEAD For the Bugle @BugleNewspapers sweditor@buglenewspapers.com

Candidates vying for one of three at-large council positions in the April 4 election looked to express their views and interests during a March 23 chamber luncheon. The Joliet Region Chamber of Commerce & Industry held the forum with the intention of introducing the candidates, which 11 of the 15 attended. One other candidate submitted a statement to be read. Brooke Hernandez Brewer wants to serve on the council for another term. Hernandez Brewer noted that her passion lies within Joliet and said she wants everyone to know that it is her desire to see the city being regarded by her children, just as she does. “I want to give them a city that makes them want to make the same choice my husband and I made and our parents made, which was to raise our family in Joliet,” she said. Hernandez Brewer said among the many things she’d like to see through as a councilwoman includes an initiative bringing a pipeline of Lake Michigan Water to the

City of Joliet. Don Dickinson noted that he’s been very active in the community over the years and said he wants to serve the community in another capacity, but this time around as a council member. “The reason why I’m running is because I want to help bring better paying jobs to Joliet,” he said. “I feel it’s important. We have so many jobs out there that are in warehouses, and people sometimes need to work more than one job, just to survive. It shouldn’t be that way.” Dickinson said the city must also work on its long-term bonding to improve public infrastructure. “You can’t go down your neighborhood street without seeing a patch,” he said. “That’s simply unacceptable. We need to work on our streets. We need to work on our infrastructure.” Jan Quillman noted that she’s been serving the residents for Joliet the last 12 years and said though she’s seen the city experience tough times, she wants to see it continue to thrive. “We’ve worked hard for those tough years, and since then, we have seen stabilization and growth,” she said. “Thousands of jobs have been brought into the city and many corporate headquarters are now considering moving to Joliet. Building permits are up for residential, commercial, and industrial projects. These add up to increasing the city’s tax base.” Quillman said she has a number

of priorities she’d like to take on if re-elected. “I want to continue to work for the residents, keep the economy growing strong, keep property taxes down while improving our infrastructure and city services, expand our police department and in turn expand our neighborhood policing to keep our neighborhoods safe, attract new business, and help secure a new water source to [avoid] a problem in the future,” she said. “We are the crossroads of midAmerica, and Joliet is experiencing a new renaissance. We are in this together, and we are a city for everyone. I want to continue with the work we have started.” Michael Turk said many good things are happening in Joliet and he wants this trend to continue. “The downtown looks like it’s on the verge of some great developments,” he said. Turk said with all that’s happening in the city, he hopes that he can continue to serve on the council and make a difference moving forward. “I appreciate the time I have spent on the city council, and it’s a position I take very seriously,” he said. “It takes a lot of hours to perform my duties as a council person effectively. I have strived to do that with a high degree of integrity.” Rachel Ventura was not in attendance for the luncheon, but submitted a statement to be read. SEE COUNCIL PAGE 5

COUNCIL FROM PAGE 4 Ventura wants to work with the City Center Partnership to ensure Joliet becomes a tourist destination. Ventura intends to change the city’s image by bringing up policing levels and reintroducing programs in the schools, such as Drug Abuse Resistance Education. Betty Washington referenced the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and said her aspiration is it to serve the community as an advocate for quality education, jobs that pay a living wage and economic growth and development for every segment of the city. “I hope to become an instrumental member of the city council using all my energies to bring about constructive and positive change, which affects all residents of the City of Joliet,” she said. Washington added that she has a sincere interest in serving all of the city’s residents, not just a select few. Diane Harris said she’s worked hard to achieve what she’s accomplished over the years and said now that she’s retired, it’s time to work for the community where she lives. “My focus is to promote innovativeness, cleaning up our corridors and reducing crime thorough ordinance enforcement [to] make the city more inviting to new businesses,” she said. Harris said she’s ready to work for the people. “As an alternative to raising taxes, I support renewable energy projects,”

she said. “I am the only candidate in the race with experience who has handson experience in the U.S. infrastructure [system.]” Mark Ragusa said he thinks that he holds a good understanding of the community and the things its people value. “My father was a battalion chief on the Joliet Fire Department and my uncle was a captain on the Joliet Police Department,” he said. “I feel I have a good perspective on how important those departments are to the city and to the residents of Joliet.” Ragusa said he has many transferrable skills and hopes to use them by serving on the council. “I have managed multi-million dollar projects as well as large staffs of engineers,” he said. “I’ve always been able to foster good relationship between all levels of staff, bringing consensus and driving successful solutions.” “I’m running for Joliet City Council because I believe we need strong, innovative leadership to continue to grow the city that I believe in,” he said. “I can use my leadership and management skills to accomplish those goals.” Roger Powel Sr. said the reason he’s running is because he believes in “giving back.” “I’m a worker, I’m not the type of person to sit back and just talk,” he said. “I get things done.” Powell wants to see city open up Chicago Street. “You have to understand that this is very, very important,” he said.

Alex Rodriguez said he’s running because he believes the city has fallen behind when it comes to its neighbors. “I believe in this city,” he said “I believe that the American dream is alive in this city. I’ve been blessed to live it. When I first came to live in Joliet, my family and I stayed at the Daybreak Center. Now, my wife and I own a home in the [heart] of it.” Rodriguez wants to see the city thrive. “I believe that government’s role should be to empower people, encourage home ownership, encourage small business,” Rodriguez said. “I believe in limited government, low taxes, low-regulation. I think that’s the kind of things that empower people and empower business.” Larry Crawford said he’s honored to live in a strong city where there are 14 other candidates looking to run for city council. “I think that speak volumes about the kind of city we have,” he said. Crawford wants to help the city to grow. “I think the experience of some of the people who are running is going be useful in terms of what the future might hold for our city, but at the same time we could [really be enriched] by a candidate, like myself, who will bring the voice of the people to that council and represent you,” he said. Candidates who did not attend or send statements were Christian Egwunwoke, Nathaniel Romeo and Michelle Stiff.

Benet’s Katie Jaseckas is 2017 Voyager Media Girls Basketball Player of the Year BY MARK GREGORY Sports Editor @Hear_The_Beard mark@buglenewspapers.com

During Benet Academy’s backto-back state title runs in 2015 and 2016, much of the attention was givn to the guard play on both the offensive and defensive side of the ball. With guards like Kathleen Doyle leading the way, Benet was known its full court press as well as ability to shoot from the perimeter. One of the biggest reasons the Redwings had that luxury was the play of Katie Jaseckas. Jaseckas, the 6-foot, 1-inch, Truman State-bound center, leaves the program as its all-time leader in rebounds (741) and second in blocked shots (209). It was that play that allows the guards to shoot threes, knowing Jaseckas would be there for the rebound and apply pressure knowing if a team beat the press, they had her guarding the rim. “Katie has been the backstop

behind the Redwings full court press for the past three seasons,” said Benet coach Joe Kilbride. “She is one of the best shot blockers and rebounders in the school’s history and has been the starting center for Benet teams that have compiled a 94-11 record in her three full seasons on varsity.” This season, Jaseckas averaged 12 points, 8 rebounds, 2.2 blocks and 1.9 steals per game and led Benet to a 28-5 record and a sectional title. For those accomplishments, she has been named the 2017 Voyager Media girls basketball Player of the Year. Jaseckas was also named to the East Suburban Catholic Conference team, was all-tournament at the Montini Holiday Tournament and was the Most Valuable Player at the Naperville North Holiday Tournament. She was also named to the Illinois Basketball Coaches Association second team all-state. With talent surrounding her all

But when the playoffs came, she wanted to. “In the playoffs, I knew I didn’t want to go home,” she said. “I knew I had to do whatever it took. All year, we always knew someone would pick up the slack. If I wasn’t having a good game, I would just do the dirty work like get a rebound and pass the ball to whoever was hot.” She said that while the championships were a great bonus, he time at Benet was not all about the wins. “I couldn’t have asked for anything more amazing than the teams I have had and the ride that I had at Benet,” Jaseckas said. “Coach Kilbride made it a phenomenal program. I just love spending time with my team. Winning state two years in a row and this year we won the sectional and had so much fun. This year after we lost, on the ride home, we cried and then we had a dance party on the bus because it was our last time together.” Other members of the Voyager Media All-Area first team are:

COLUMN >> DAVE SAYS

Debt doesn’t have to be a relationship deal breaker DEAR DAVE, One of my relatives just graduated from college with $20,000 in student loan debt. Her boyfriend graduated, too, and he has over $100,000 in student loan debt. They want to get married, so she’s looking for a job. He wants to go to graduate school, and take out more loans to remain a full-time student. The idea of even more debt hanging over their heads really bothers her. Do you have any advice? DENISE DEAR DENISE, You don’t throw away a great, potentially lifelong, relationship just because of debt. Things like laziness, dishonesty, and irresponsible behavior are deal breakers, though. Those are flaws that usually don’t go away. I’m glad she’s looking for a job, but her boyfriend needs to be working, too. There’s no excuse for either of them being full-time students with more than $120,000 in combined student loan debt hanging

However, if he realizes how damaging additional debt could be to their relationship, and he’s willing to work while continuing his education, I think their future together looks much brighter. —DAVE

over their heads. Lots of people hold down real jobs, save money, and further their educations on a part-time basis. If she were my niece, I would encourage her to have an open and honest discussion with her boyfriend about their future, and how he plans on paying for graduate school. She also needs to be very real about her feelings in this situation. If, after that, he still wants to just borrow more money and not work outside of school, then she might have a difficult decision ahead.
