Although a large part of the work is done, the construction equipment, barricades and piles of gravel remain in the street.

There are other changes happening, too. The same 8-inch water mains made of durable ductile iron are being installed in other nearby streets. “Increasing it to 8-inch allows water to flow through the system better,” Drey said.

“The contractor is planning on finishing everything this year,” Drey said.

By providing a new bat habitat, the Forest Preserve District will help the bats find safe shelter The Forest Preserve District of Will County installed a bat condo in Hammel Woods in Shorewood on Thursday, Sept. 18, in an effort to encourage a maternity colony of big brown bats living at Shorewood Grove Shelter to relocate.

Once the bats leave for winter hibernation caves in September and October, wooden planks along the sides of the Shorewood Grove Shelter will be removed to make the picnic pavilion less desirable to the bats by altering the temperature and humidity level.

When the bats return in the spring and summer of 2015, they will find the bat condo strategically placed in a location that they should find more desirable for roosting. Brown bats are very social and they will like the warm snug fit between sheets of plywood inside the bat condo.

By providing a new bat habitat, the Forest Preserve District will help the bats find safe shelter in an area where food for the bats is abundant. The bat condo also will be turned into an interpretive site so preserve patrons can learn more about the benefit of bats and the environmental threats they are facing.A sign will be placed along the DuPage River Trail near the bat condo explaining its purpose and how it is helping the bats.

“One of the reasons we are trying to relocate, or entice, the bats out of the shelter is to provide the bats with a private shelter to call their own and allow the picnickers a bat-free shelter to enjoy,” said Juanita Armstrong-Ullberg, a natural resource land manager for the Forest Preserve District.

The project is made possible through funding >> See bat condo | page 2

The midsize bat condo, which was installed by Pennsylvaniabased Bat Conservation and Management Inc., has room for more than 2,000 bats.

This project is important because bats are dying by the millions, due to a variety of perils.

The biggest threats are: white nose syndrome, loss of forested habit and the use of pesticides to kill insects.

“I’ve been studying bats for over 20 years, and bats are endangered wherever they occur,” said Janet Tyburec, a wildlife biologist who used to work for Bat Conservation International, as she observed Thursday’s bat condo installation.

“They suffer from the same types of problems that other animals do, including habitat loss and especially roost loss.”

Bats are beneficial to the ecosystem because they eat a variety of insects, and they are “nature’s pesticide” because

they feed on agricultural pests, Armstrong-Ullberg said.

They also eat pests that are a nuisance to humans. For instance, one big brown bat can eat more than 3,000 mosquitoes in one night.

Forest Preserve District staff members are monitoring local bat activity, recording bat species, populations and the presence of white nose syndrome. They are helping biologists across the country as they study and try to stop this devastating disease,

which is putting some bats on the verge of extinction.

Bats are warm-blooded mammals that give birth hanging upside down and nurse their live young until they are old enough to hunt for themselves. Eight species of bats are native to Will County: big brown, little brown, eastern red, hoary, silver-haired, tri-colored, evening and northern long-eared.

The bats living in Shorewood Grove Shelter are big browns, but other bat species are found in Hammel Woods.

News >> main event, from page 1 It’s a $1.09 million capital improvement project that will boost water service to the Brookforest and Brookforest North subdivisions, two of the older areas in the village. The work needed to be done, Mayor Rick Chapman said.

“These are 60-year-old lines in the ground, and they weren’t installed very well 60 years ago,” he said. “The equipment used then wasn’t as sophisticated as today, the materials weren’t as good, and 60 years in the ground is a long time. We had multiple water main breaks in that area, and it was not going to get any better.”

Although it’s an important project, it’s not been a lot of fun for some people. Brookshore Drive is a popular route, a simple way to travel from Black Road to West Jefferson Street.

But it hasn’t been as easy to negotiate for the past few weeks because of the road closures and construction equipment.

Still, there haven’t been a lot of complaints, Chapman said.

“People in general have been pretty understanding that this needed to be done,” he said.

Of course, there has been some mild griping, even if it was limited to things said over the backyard fence from one neighbor to another.

Karissa Montello, 24, lives with her two young daughters at 316 N. Brookshore Drive, the longtime home of Don and Sue Fox, her grandparents. The dust from the construction has coated everything, aggravating her grandfather who likes to keep their charming brick house tidy.

It covered the cars and drifted into the backyard, cloaking the deck in white grit.

“I couldn’t bring my kids out at all one day because it was very dusty,” Montello said.

Tom and Lois Tortorello, 71 and 70, of 527 Shorewood Drive, aren’t getting a new water main on their street, but they still are affected by the project. They’ve had to weave their car through the neighborhood to avoid road closures.

“You never know which way you’re going to go when you leave,”Tom said.

As part of the installation, they were without water for several hours on two different days, Lois said. When the water came back on, they were careful not to use it for a period of time.The village had issued a “boil order,” a notice not to drink or consume water unless it had been heated to a

boiling point.

Here’s why: When a new main is installed, the water must be pumped through the new pipe and chlorinated. The village also checks to make sure there isn’t any air or debris in the new main.

Drey explained that he issued a boil order as a precaution until laboratory tests showed that the water was absolutely safe to drink.

“We want to make sure it is contaminant-free,” he said.

The boil order didn’t really bother the Tortorellos.

“We got to eat out for dinner,” Lois said.

“She didn’t have to cook!”Tom kidded.

Bud Ehrenhaft, 66, lives just around the corner from the Tortorellos at 528 Highland Drive. He is a superintendent for Vengar Construction Corp. of Countryside, so he has an insider’s understanding of the water main project.

“We are all for improvements,” Ehrenhaft said.

He’s supportive despite the fact that a swath of his front yard has been torn up in the construction process. The workers also removed a small sidewalk that ran on the west side of his driveway apron to the street. When Ehrenhaft bought the house four years ago, the sidewalk wasn’t in the greatest shape, so he poured a new one this summer.

“Our only concern is they took the concrete out, and we want to make sure they put it back in,” he said.

When the mayor heard about it, he said that J Congdon Sewer Services was supposed to replace anything that was removed in the construction process.

“If not, people should be aware that it is supposed to happen, and call the village if they don’t think it’s being done,” Chapman said. “And it’s important to call quickly.”

County Executive Larry Walsh Statement on Treatment for Prostate Cancer Walsh noted that about 233,000 new cases of prostate cancer will be diagnosed this year in U.S.

Will County Executive Larry Walsh, 66, announced Friday that he is being treated for prostate cancer following a recent diagnosis by his doctors.

He is scheduled to have surgery Thursday, Sept. 25, and is expected to make a full recovery very soon.

“Unfortunately, I am like many men my age and was diagnosed with prostate cancer following my regular checkup by my doctor,” said Executive Walsh. “I have great confidence in my local doctors who are taking the appropriate steps to treat this disease, and I am very optimistic that I will back to my regular schedule very soon.”

Walsh noted that about 233,000 new cases of prostate cancer will be diagnosed this year in the United States and

approximately one man in seven will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during his lifetime.

Additionally, approximately six cases in 10 are diagnosed in men aged 65 or older, and it is rare before age 40.

The average age at the time of diagnosis is about 66.

“I encourage all our male residents in Will County who are age 40 or older to continue to get the screenings done for prostate cancer,” said Walsh.

“Although we all are busy with our daily lives, early detection is key to successful treatment.”

Walsh thanked all those who have already offered their thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery.

He has been encouraged by this support.

County Board rejects Joliet Township salvage yard Up to 1,200 cars could be on the facility property at any one time By nick reiher managing editor

nreiher@buglenewspapers.com @JolietILNews

An urgent plea from the Will County Board Speaker and promises of being a good neighbor couldn’t salvage plans for an auto recycling businesses along one of Joliet’s gateways.

John and Carrie Thompson wanted to establish an auto recycling facility on three parcels totaling nearly 23 acres they would buy contingent on rezoning on the north side of New Lenox Road between Briggs and Cherry

Hill roads.

Trucks would bring in old cars to be salvaged, and the public would be invited to come in and pull parts for purchase. Up to 1,200 cars could be on the facility property at any one time, said attorney Michael Hansen, representing the Thompsons.

During a public hearing on the issue at the Sept. 18 County Board meeting, Hansen said the facility would bring in 10 to 15 jobs, as well as $7,000 annually in sales taxes and $70,000 a year in property tax revenues.

Responding to concerns New Lenox Road couldn’t handle traffic from heavy trucks coming to and from the facility, Hansen said the Thompsons would pay to improve New Lenox Road eastward from their property,

with curbs and gutters, so that it could handle larger trucks. He said they also would make sure their contractors used that new route if they wanted to continue working with them.

During a caucus of the Will County Democratic Board members earlier Thursday, Hansen said the Thompsons also would provide berms and noise walls so the facility would not be visible from Interstate 80, as are other businesses in that area.

County Board Speaker Herb Brooks Jr., D-Joliet, said he and fellow District 8 representative DeniseWinfrey strongly supported the plan due to the jobs it could provide for that area. He also said that a charge in one letter opposing the plan that he had a relationship with the prospective

owners was false. He said he had met them only two weeks ago.

During the public hearing, Amy Sanchez, president of the Collins Street Neighborhood Association in Joliet, said they would rather see good-paying jobs come to the

Joliet area, and not from an auto salvage yard that would desecrate an eastern entrance to the city. >> to see the full version of this story, check out buglenewspapers.com

solution to our traffic woes could be Greuling By nick reiher managing editor

nreiher@buglenewspapers.com @JolietILNews

A couple weeks ago, shortly after five people were killed on Interstate 55 near the Des Plaines River Bridge construction zone, I wrote a column urging someone or some entity to take the lead in fixing the transportation problems in and around the CenterPoint Intermodal yards in Joliet and Elwood.

The Illinois Department of Transportation seems to be catatonic following the resignation of Director Ann Schneider and the subsequent investigation on hiring in that department. The county is butt deep in replacing expensive bridges earlier than expected due to the increase in trucks from the intermodals that make our area “The Largest Inland Port in North America.”

Joliet officials, assured by CenterPoint representatives the area could handle the traffic as they approved the Union Pacific Yard several years ago, are largely silent on the issue. Officials in Elwood,where all this started some 12 years ago with the BNSF yard, seem more content to toss toast from their highchair and make a mess, rather than participate in any regional planning solutions.

We all hoped the re-opening of the I-55 bridge would help get the truck traffic off Illinois 53 and the viaduct there south of Interstate 80,

where you had better have steady hands on the wheel while a semi comes near you with no median between. It has, but not entirely.

At least not for a road where local officials also are trying to raise some economic development by pitching Route 66 tourism plans.

So who will save us?

John Greuling, CEO of the Will County Center for Economic Development, knows how important those intermodals are to our county’s – and region’s – economy. And so does the farm community, after officials figured out several years ago those empty containers that just had shipments from Asia unloaded, could be reloaded with much-desired grain from local farmers back to Asia.

This is big stuff, but most of us see only the nightmare traffic fallout.

At CED’s annual Global Logistics Summit in Bolingbrook recently, Greuling pushed the idea of a Will County Freight Council to oversee the issues – good and bad – resulting from the intermodals.

He believes a group such as this would help get the county a more visible seat at the table in the global economic kitchen.

Lord knows, there would be enough to talk about at those meetings. Aside from the aforementioned issues, there’s the Illiana, the South Suburban Airport, widening of I-80 and the possibility of a bridge linking I-80 to the intermodal yards.

Greuling said the council would

be composed primarily of private businesses, but that certainly governmental entities – IDOT,Will County and affected municipalities – would be crucial to any success.

Will the governmental entities join up? We’ll see, but here’s one more nugget Greuling offered at the logistics summit: The Inland Port area also could need a central, consistent body that would issue overweight truck permits instead of truckers having to apply to several entities for the honor of unloading and loading their trucks at our local, inland marketplace. Something like a port authority just for that area of the county. Something (my words not his) that would take control away from Joliet, Elwood, Will County and any other affected entities for the good of the whole region, with the approval of those entities, of course.

I like the former idea a lot.

Not that we need any more commissions and councils, but we do need to get our arms around local transportation issues. But we can’t hold hands while we’re pointing fingers at each other.

A port authority? I can’t see communities giving up control – and dough – for the good of the union. But maybe the local transportation council can help move toward that end.

I hope we can do something.

Some body or some group needs to be the traffic cop. Right now, there are too many traffic issues at the Crossroads of America.

GueSt coluMn

Fellow residents, please be on the lookout in early November for a survey distributed by a consultant of the village to a percentage of you. If you receive this survey, please take the time to fill it out and return it in the self-addressed envelope. Your answers to the questions are very important, and will give direction to the Village Board on how to proceed forward with some very important issues about Shorewood’s future.

There will be questions regarding Shorewood’s future

water supply concerns and the possibility of Lake Michigan Water coming into Shorewood in the future. Water supply is such a critical issue that we all need to add our input to the dialogue, and the survey is a good means for you to do just that.

Let me bring you up you date on a completely separate issue, that being the water supply line replacements in the Brook Forrest subdivision area. The mains are 90 percent completed, with only Hammel Creek under boring needing to be done to finish. Later,

you will see the crews making each home’s tie-ins, followed by the street repairs and restoration of the surrounding ditches and road shoulders.

I know that this has been an inconvieience to some of you, but be assured that the work was necessary due to the erosion of the old lines and the increase in failures in that area.Thank you for your patience and understanding during this much-needed project.

It will be over soon.

Sincerely, Mayor Chapman

Basketball

Quigley has banner season

By Mark Gregory sports reporter

mark@buglenewspapers.com @Hear_The_Beard

Joliet’s Allie Quigley has played basketball for a long time.

The former Joliet Catholic Academy and DePaul University standout has been a professional since being drafted by the Seattle Storm of the WNBA in 2008.

Although Quigley has been in the WNBA since her draft day, but has enjoyed more of her success overseas – until this year.

Quigley had her best season as a member of the WNBA this year with the Chicago Sky, which culminated in her helping the Sky reach the WNBA finals and earned her the 2014 WNBA Sixth Woman of the Year Award Presented by Samsung.

Quigley earned 26 votes from a national panel of 38 sports media voters, surpassing San Antonio’s Jia Perkins in the voting.

Quigley was a force off the bench for Chicago, leading the Sky in scoring a team-high nine games.

She also scored in double

digits 21 times this season, the most by any member of the team, scoring 20-plus points twice.

Quigley came off the bench in 33-of-34 games for the Sky this season and posted her first start of her career on June 10 against Seattle.

She averaged 11.2 points per game during the season, nearly three times better than her previous career best (3.8 in 2013).

She also had career-best averages in rebounds with 2.2 per game (0.8 in ‘08 and ‘09) and assists with 1.9 (0.6 in 2013).

During the season, Quigley posted career-highs in field goal’s made (12), field goal’s attempted (22), three-point field goals made (3, five times) and points (27 at Atlanta on 7/13). He career-best free-throw percent (.879) and three-point percent (.387) both ranked in the top 10 in the WNBA. Her 24.8 minutes per game average doubled her previous career best.

“First and foremost, Allie’s work ethic is unmatched, so it’s nice to see her efforts rewarded,” said Sky head coach and general manager Pokey Chatman in a press release.“Her

ability to play at such a high level, while also transitioning to the point guard position is a testament to her ability and she’s a big part of the reason we (made) the playoffs.”

Quigley’s increased performance was key to the team as it suffered injuries to several key players throughout the season.

“Before the season started, we had a talk and I could tell that she had a lot more confidence in me and she was ready to give me more minutes,” Quigley said.

“Then, unfortunately we had people go down for various reasons and I probably played a lot more than she thought I would. Then a few good games really helped my confidence and that just kept going.”

For winning the WNBA Sixth Woman of the Year presented

by Samsung, Quigley earned a cash award and a speciallydesigned trophy from Tiffany & Co. “It wasn’t something I thought of at the end of the year, like I was trying for the award,” Quigley said. “So, when it was being talked about at the end of the year, it was humbling and it made me reflect on all the >> see QUIGLEY | page 14

Sports roundup

West moves to 3-1 with win Joliet West (3-1, 1-1) earned a much-needed 21-10 win over Sandburg (2-2, 1-1) Friday night in a Southwest Suburban Conference Blue Division game.

The victory puts the Tigers two wins away from its goal of qualifying for the IHSA state playoffs.

Junior quarterback Alex Tibble had a pair of touchdown passes in the game, finding John Choate (6 yards) Evan French (80) for scores.

Brenton Thompson added a three-yard scoring run for West.

Roman Johnson sealed the win with an interception at the 5 yard line.

LOCKPORT The Porters showed improvement Friday night, but still came up short in a 28-25 loss to Lincoln-Way East. >> see ROUNDUP | page 14

Mark Gregory/Bugle Staff

Alex Tibble and the Tigers are 3-1 on the season.

sPorts >> QUigLeY, from page 11 ups and downs of the last five or six years of my professional career and all the ups and downs and coming from not playing at all and being in the gym getting my game better and then finally have this all happen this summer.”

Late in the season, Quigley earned her first Player of the Week award for games played Aug. 4 through Aug. 10.

She led the WNBA Eastern Conference in scoring, averaging 18.0 points per game. “(It was) well-deserved honor for a player that has stayed the course throughout her career.” Chatman said.

“More importantly she stayed the course this year for us transitioning from a two guard to a point guard, back and forth, and she’s still been able to maintain a high level of consistency. That’s been the big reason we have been able to win some games lately so I

am happy for her.”

Her success helped the Sky to only its second playoff berth in franchise history and advance to the WNBA finals for the first time ever, although the Sky was swept three games to none by Phoenix.

“It was great to be there, we would have liked to have won,” Quigley said. “When the end of the year rolled around, we just didn’t want to stop playing and that showed on the court. We had that, ‘I don’t want to quit attitude.’ I think the ups and downs during the year made us stronger and it all came together at the end of the year.”

Quigley will now head back to play for TS Wisla Can Pack Krakow in Poland, the same team she played for a year ago.

She is currently in talks with the team trying to get a few more days home. She said when she originally had discussed her arrival date in Poland, she did not factor in playing for the WNBA title.

•The Minooka Community High School and Plainfield Central High School girls’ varsity volleyball teams are hoping to score a lot of points on September 25, 2014, to benefit Shorewood HUGS as they plan their “HITS for HUGS” fundraiser.

Members of the volleyball programs are soliciting donations for every point each varsity team scores during their contest on Thursday, September 25, at MCHS - Central Campus.

For example, if a team scores a total of 50 points, a donation of 50 cents per point will generate a donation of $25.

The Number refers to the amount of money you’d need to retire comfortably, and it was borrowed from the title of a 2006 book by former Esquire editor Lee Eisenberg. Everywhere you went in those comparatively giddy precrash days, it

seemed, people were tossing around figures -- $1 million,$5 million – and often acting like it’d be a cinch to get there if they just gave up one Grande Cafe Vanilla Frappuccino a week.

Needless to say, times have changed since then.But unless you like your 1-in-175 million odds of winning Power Ball,the need to soak away as much money as possible – as fast as possible, in the case of aging Baby Boomers – has only become more imperative.

“One of the best pieces of advice we give clients is to keep it simple,”says Elaine Smith, master tax advisor at H&R Block, the giant tax preparation firm (www.hrblock.com).

How simple?

Make automatic contributions to 401(k)s We now know what can happen if you let market fluctuations spook your use of this convenient savings vehicle. According to a study by Fidelity Investments of millions of their accounts, investors who dumped all their allocations in stocks between October 1, 2008, and March 31, 2009 (the market crash), and stayed out of stocks through last June 30, 2011 (a big upswing), saw an average increase in account balances of only 2 percent.

That compares to an average 50 percent increase for those who rode things out with a continuous allocation strategy that included stocks.

Don’t squander your raise Consulting firm Hay Group says the average raise last year was 2.8 percent.

Say your salary’s $50,000.

That’s a $1,400 increase, or $26.92 a week. If you put that money into an IRA, in 10 years it would’ve grown to $3,108, based on an 8 percent average annual return.

“It’s all about delaying immediate rewards on things like your fifth pair of designer jeans,” says Smith.

Invest your tax refund The average refund last year was $2,913.

Even the interest rate on savings accounts beats the free loan you essentially gave the government.

Take advantage of new fee disclosures A new law is set to require much more transparency in most 401(k) plans. But why wait? Financial websites let you compare fund expense ratios, and the difference between an actively managed mutual fund charging 1.75 percent and an index fund charging only 0.07 percent -- especially if the former’s performance is subpar -- adds up.

10 Steps to Help Older Adults Prevent Slips, Trips and Falls The good news is many falls are preventable (News USA) - Some of the most serious injuries among older adults, age 65 and older, are caused by falling. More than 1.6 million older Americans end up in the emergency room or hospital because of a fall, according to the National Institutes of Health. Seniors who have broken a hip by falling can have trouble recovering and regaining mobility.

The good news is many falls are preventable. One of the first things you can do if you take prescription medication is have your health care team review your medication.

“Some prescription medicines and over-the-counter drugs, or a combination of them, can make you dizzy or sleepy. Either can lead to a fall,” said Jaza Marina, M.D., a geriatrician at Kaiser Permanente in Atlanta. “If you fall, be sure to let your doctor know, even if you aren’t hurt.

Sometimes falls are a sign of a new medical problem that needs attention.”

Many underlying causes of falls can be treated or corrected.

Dr. Marina recommends these

10 proactive steps to reduce the risk of falling.

Make your home safe 1. Remove clutter, throw rugs and electrical cords that might cause you to trip.

2. Store items on bottom shelves.

3. Add grab bars where necessary -- in hallways, stairways and bathtubs.

4. Add a rubber bath mat in the shower or tub.

5. Make sure your home is well lit. Use night lights in hallways and bathrooms.

6. Keep a phone and flashlight by your bed.

Take care of yourself 1. Stay as physically active as you can.

2. Wear comfortable shoes with good support.

3. Have your vision and hearing checked.

4. Use a cane or walker if you feel unsteady.
