“the residents that built in Phase 1 and paid more for their lots will be disappointed in the price reduction, but it has been eight years of inactivity and building out the subdivision will increase everyone’s home values,” said Boan in a report. “the existing covenants will regulate building size and materials which will keep the home prices up.”

Weber Road construction becomes summer tradition

All too familiar are the orange construction horses and the corresponding red brake lights of motorists traveling along Weber and Renwick roads. But according to Will County Transportation officials, the end is in sight, with project completion expected by the end of August. Jeff Ronaldson, assistant county engineer, said that despite obvious delays along the way, noting the contract for the project was awarded in 2012, contractually the project is set to end by midAugust. “There is a lot of work still to be done—the concrete, curbs, gutters, traffic lights, but we have our punch list, and it will get done,” said Ronaldson. “We will all be happy when this project is complete. All we can ask is that people still be patient with the construction.” The $13 million ongoing project will bring Weber Road to six lanes along a stretch of road fromAirport Road to Renwick. The largest of the final stages, the digging out of the main lane for concrete, is set to begin this week. Construction began on the project early in the summer of 2012, but never got far due to issues with the utility companies.

According to Will County Transportation officials, the end is in sight for the construction on Renwick and Weber Roads, with project completion expected by the end of August.

The project incurred major delays waiting for Commonwealth Edison and AT&T to move lines so that construction could begin. Later that fall, utilities just finished their work and the highway department began work on sewer lines that were behind the curb area. Work to widen the road to three lanes on either side first began in spring 2013. The traffic at the Weber Road and Renwick Road intersection will continue to be shifted onto the new concrete pavement with one lane of traffic open in each direction as it is now. As the area’s main thoroughfare, Weber Road is on the watch list of many officials, with a study for changes at Interstate 55 and Weber Road as well and a long-time point of contention. Just last week, state Rep. Natalie Manley, D-Joliet, backed a new

capital construction bill, House Bill 3794, approved by the House which includes $52 million for construction at I-55 and Weber Road. “The congestion around I-55 and Weber Road has been a mess for years, and this legislation will help get this project up and running by this summer,” said Manley. “The boost that these projects will give to our economy will not only be felt here in Will County but throughout Illinois. This is an opportunity to create jobs that we cannot pass up.” This project specifically appropriates funds for a number of projects at the I-55 and Weber Road interchange which are considered shovel-ready and there is hope that work will begin this summer. House Bill 3794 must be approved by the Senate and governor before funding for the project is released.

The White Oak Library District is pleased to present the program “Earl Sewell YA Author Visit” at its Crest Hill Branch Library at 20670 Len Kubinski Drive. Earl Sewell was born in Chicago, Illinois and attended Columbia College where he studied Creative Writing to pursue his dream of becoming a published author.

He decided to take a leap of faith and start his own publishing company which he named Katie Books, after his late mother. He published his first novel in 1999,

and sold several thousand copies of it locally. Sewell has since written a total of seventeen novels, mostly about African Americans.

Village struggles with Americana Estates development Premier Americana Estates development sits adjacent to the Bolingbrook Golf Club By Laura Katauskas staff reporter

katauskas@buglenewspapers.com @lkatauskas

As a means to solicit interest in a housing development that hasn’t sold a lot since 2005, the village is entertaining a program that will offer potential buyers a steep discount in lot prices and a pass on village fees. The premier Americana Estates development sits adjacent to the Bolingbrook Golf Club and is considered an exclusive high-end community with luxury homes that sold for more than $600,000. At the time of its development, lot prices alone went for anywhere from $120,000 to $300,000. But times have changed with the lagging economy taking its toll on the housing market and the development. According to an information report from Village Attorney Jim Boan, the village still owns 69 fully-improved lots plus the undeveloped land in Phase 3 located south of Lincoln Avenue. It appears that all of Phase I has been sold but more than half of the lots in the entire development are still available. Boan reported that interest has recently began picking up with inquiries to the village each month, however, pricing is always an issue. Mayor Roger Claar met with six local active builders regarding the current real estate picture, placing the estimated current value of the

lots at a range of $45,000 to $65,000. The village faces a variety of issues in the development, watching roads and infrastructure deteriorate, the payment of annual home owner’s association fees on the lots it owns, fearful the subdivision will never reach completion if lot prices are not competitive. To jumpstart activity, the village is proposing a pilot program on eight lots in Clinton Court, pricing the lots at $60,000. “The residents that built in Phase 1 and paid more for their lots will be disappointed in the price reduction, but it has been eight years of inactivity and building out the subdivision will increase everyone’s home values,” said Boan in a report.“The existing covenants will regulate building size and materials which will keep the home prices up.” In addition, documents show that the village’s sewer “tap-on” fee of $12,000 will be waived if a building permit is issued within 180 days of purchasing the lot. Half of the fee, $6,000, will be waived if a building permit is issued within 181 to 366 days of purchase. If the program is successful, it could be expanded to additional lots.

Local woman catches bat at White Sox game Protects baby from being hit in the row behind her; turns into overnight celebrity By Scott Taylor sports editor

staylor@enterprisepublications.com @Taylor_Sports

Normally when one goes to a Major League Baseball game, he or she doesn’t expect to turn into an overnight celebrity. However, that was the case for 14-year Plainfield resident Eileen DePesa after the Chicago White Sox game Monday, May 26 at U.S. Cellular Field. DePesa caught the flying bat of Chicago White Sox catcher Tyler Flowers during the game, perhaps saving a baby from being hit in the row behind her. “There wasn’t time to think,” DePesa said. “I was talking to my boyfriend, who obviously has gotten a lot of grief for ducking. I didn’t even see the bat until late and the crowd screamed and I screamed. The bat bounced and I raised my hand and it pretty much just landed in my hand.” In the day and age of social media, the video of the onehanded grab went viral quickly, making the highlights on ESPN’s “SportsCenter” and ABC’s “World News Tonight.” “I can’t believe it,” DePesa said of the national reaction to the catch. “It is part because of having the kids behind us. I can’t believe it went viral so fast. That first day I got so many phone calls, requests and emails. I had three different stations at my house the first night. I was making phone interviews. I’ve probably done 15-20 interviews. It is crazy. I’m having fun with it though. My

kids are loving it.” Unlike many professional athletes, DePesa isn’t used to being interviewed. “I was a little nervous when I did the live interviews,” she said. “The ones that are taped, they won’t air something dumb. But the live ones are a little nervous.”

“My family has been all over the internet sending me links and pictures,” DePesa said. “I’m going to have quite the mementos from this.” Her boyfriend, Dan, has also been under the national spotlight by many publications for ducking away from the bat. But as DePesa said, he wasn’t paying attention to the play and the natural reaction to a bat flying at you at the last second is to duck. “They are giving him a lot of bad PR, just for the ducking,”

with a knife and demanded the victim’s money and cell phone. The offenders removed a cell phone and money from the victim’s pockets and then fled the area on foot. No injuries were reported.

DePesa said. “But if you realize what really happened, that I screamed to him and his back was to the play and you know something is coming, anyone is going to duck in that circumstance. He didn’t even know what was going on. He asked me how I got the bat in my hand. But he has been such a good sport about everything.” DePesa, who likes going to White Sox games, has tickets to another game coming up on the schedule. There will be a good chance that game will not be as eventful for her. “I have tickets for one coming up and they are kind of behind home plate,” she said. “I have that netting there to protect me.” Overall, the experience she has had the past week will be one she will never forget. It will also help that she will have a bunch of keepsakes collected from family and friends. “My family has been all over the internet sending me links and pictures,” DePesa said. “I’m going to have quite the mementos from this.”

Police arrested Chillis W. Moultrie, 3 Parkside, at 5:30 p.m. May 28 in connection with the two incidents. Rompa said both cases remain under investigation as additional offenders are being sought.

Same-sex couples confirm their marriages Same-sex couples now can apply for licenses, marry after a one-day waiting period By Stewart Warren For the bugle

stewartwarren509@yahoo.com @stewartwarren

On a day 18 years ago, Fara Bingham’s desk was moved to a spot near Patricia Ferchland. They both worked at Illinois Bell, now AT&T. At the time, Bingham was thinking about getting a pet, and they chatted about it. “She said, ‘I can’t get a bunny, because I do community theater, and I’m not home a lot,’” Ferchland remembered Monday. “‘They can die of broken hearts.’” Ferchland immediately was intrigued. “I thought, wow. She really just showed such a generosity of heart, to care that much about another creature, with her schedule. It was the way she said it.There was so much tenderness in her voice,” Ferchland said. Over time, they became a couple, moving in together, sharing chores and the ups

and downs of life. On Monday morning, they took the next step in their relationship. The two women from New Lenox traveled to Will County Clerk Nancy Schultz Voots’ office to convert their civil union to a same-sex marriage. They were the first people in line on the first day to make the change in Will County. On Nov. 20, 2013, Gov. Pat Quinn signed a law allowing same-sex marriages, and it went into effect across the state on Monday. Same-sex couples now can apply for licenses and then marry after a one-day waiting period. The law also allows couples that have a civil union to change it to a same-sex marriage simply by completing some paperwork. But Bingham and Ferchland didn’t make the trip alone on Monday. About a week ago, Bingham, 52, and Ferchland, 45, invited two other couples who also are longtime friends to join them and do the exact same thing: Russ Lipari, 58, and Ron Steinacher, 59, of Shorewood, and David Luecht, 54, and Mark Frost, 51, of Plainfield Township. >> to see the full version of this story, check out buglenewspapers.com

Police Officers raise money for Special Olympics Illinois More than 20 Bolingbrook police officers participated in the fundraiser By Laura Katauskas staff reporter

katauskas@buglenewspapers.com @lkatauskas

Bolingbrook Police Officers took to the rooftops May 30 calling on residents to join them in their support for Special Olympics. Police officers throughout the area covered more than 170 Dunkin’ Donuts rooftops to raise awareness and donations for the Law Enforcement Torch Run to benefit Special Olympics Illinois. In its annual event, more than 20 Bolingbrook officers, organized by Sergeant Kristopher Schrubbe, Officer Vince Radaker, Officer Brigitte Balcer and Telecommunication Supervisor Mary Jo Lewandowski, took turns on top of the Dunkin’ Donuts promoting the event and accepting donations for the cause, raising approximately $2,200. Bolingbrook Lt. Mike Rompa said the Bolingbrook Police also will host a fundraiser at Gordon Biersch in the Promenade Mall June 4 and will also participate in the Torch Run June 10, all in honor of Special Olympics Illinois.

In honor of Special Olympics Illinois athletes and police officers supporting the rooftop event, Dunkin’ Donuts created a special “Rooftop Ring” donut, a glazed donut ring with red icing depicting Special Olympics Illinois colors. “More than $1.6 million has been raised from this event over the last 11 years and we’re hoping to set new records this year,” said Illinois Torch Run Director and Sherman Police Chief Eric Smith. “It’s a fun event that works.” In total, last year, police officers raised $310,000. The Illinois Law Enforcement Torch Run has raised more than $31 million over 28 years while increasing awareness of Special Olympics Illinois athletes and their accomplishments. Each year, more than 3,000 officers cover 1,500 miles carrying the Flame of Hope through the streets of their hometowns and to the State Summer Games in Normal in June. It is the single largest year-round fundraising vehicle benefiting Special Olympics Illinois. The intrastate relay and its various fundraising projects have two goals: to raise money and increase public awareness for the athletes of Special Olympics.

Raiders whip No. 1 Benet, make history By mike sandrolini For the bugle

mike@buglenewspapers.com @voyagersport

Jean Ryan-Moak remembers all too well how things played out during regionals last spring against highly heralded Benet Academy. The Raiders advanced to a regional softball championship game for the first time in school history, only to have that accomplishment shortcircuited by the Redwings, who dismantled Bolingbrook, 13-2. Last Saturday morning, Bolingbrook took on the Redwings for a second straight year in a regional final, but this time around, it would not be déjà vu all over again. Sophomore Olivia Simpson broke a scoreless tie in the sixth inning by crushing a twoout, three-run homer, and the Raiders tacked on four more runs in the seventh to stun No. 1-seeded Benet, 7-1, and win the program’s first regional softball crown. “We’re here again, and this time the table has turned,” Ryan-Moak said as Raider team members posed for pics with their regional championship trophy. Ryan-Moak said she believed going into the game that if the >> see WHIP | page 14

Bolingbrook pole vaulter Ben Junkroski (pictured) tied teammate Jesse Pape for 11th in state in the pole vault.

Raiders advance pair to vault finals By Mark Gregory sports reporter

mark@buglenewspapers.com @Hear_The_Beard

After not getting any events to the finals last season, Bolingbrook had a pair of athletes advance to the second day of the state meet this year and both happened to be in the same event. Raider pole vaulters Ben Junkroski and Jesse Pape both advanced to the second day and the senior duo tied for 11th in Class 3A, each clearing

13-9. “This was more than I expected coming into the season,” Junkroski said. “I couldn’t get more today, but that is OK. I am not too upset, I got here and I wasn’t expecting it, so this was a lot of fun.” Junkroski said he enjoyed having a talented field of vaulters, which included Plainfield Central’s Luke Winder who won his second consecutive state title, clearing a state-record height of 17-3. >> see VAULT | page 13

Sports >> VAULT, from page 12 “This is the first competition we have had with more than three people over 13-6,” Junkroski said. “We had one meet with Winder earlier in the year, but other than that, it has been me and (Jesse) taking first and second every week. So, it is nice coming out here and seeing some good competition and seeing some friends and have a great time vaulting together.” Both Junkroski and Pape have never cleared more than 13-9 outdoors and Pape said he is tired of seeing that number. “I have been there since the beginning of the season and I just don’t care for it anymore,” Pape said. “I am really getting tired of that height. I just want to get over it. I am clearly over in practice, so that is not an issue. It is frustrating.” Joining them in the finals was another Valley View field athlete. In one short season, Romeoville senior Curshaun Pruitt went from a gym class hero to an IHSA state medalist. Pruitt was not part of the

Mark Gregory/Bugle Staff

Romeoville’s Curshaun Pruitt was seventh in the state in triple jump.

THE BUGLE JUNE 5, 2014 Spartan track and field team until this year, when a physical skills test in school revealed he had a gift for leaping. “We did the vertical test and I jumped a 45 and Coach (Scott) Harper came to me and told me I should triple jump or high jump or something,” Pruitt said. “At the Stagg meet, I triple jumped 46-9 and that was when I knew triple jump was the one for me.” Pruitt triple jumped 45-feet at the state meet and placed seventh in Class 3A. “To even make it to state was an honor to be here. This was a really good experience,” Pruitt said. “I didn’t get the jumps I wanted and I know I could have done better, but it was a good day. Some people never make it to state and they are in track for four years, so this isn’t the place I wanted, but I am still honored.” After starting his career late, Pruitt is hoping to continue jumping in college and is hoping his medalist performance and the All Star meet he is in June 13 will get him noticed. Bolingbrook’s John Hall and

Joshua Collins were both part of a pair of events in the state meet, but did not advance to the finals. Hall was less than two inches shy of advancement in the long jump, as he posted a leap of 21-7.50. The final qualifier for the finals was Imani Payton of North Lawndale Charter, who jumped 21-09.25. Collins competed individually in the 100-meter dash, running the race in 11.03. Collins and Hall teamed with Damare Portis and Tyler Elmore to post a season-best time of 42.69, however, it was not enough to qualify for finals. Joining the Raiders on the track was Peyton Chapman, who ran a time of 50.85 in the 400 dash. Romeoville also had a pair of runners compete in Friday’s prelims. D’Aaron Williams ran the 100 dash in 11.19, while D’Lante Dawson posted a time of 22.46 in the 200 dash. In the discus, Spartan Kelvin Jones posted a throw of 15106 on his final attempt after having his other two tries soar out of bounds.

Sports >> WHIP, from page 11 Raiders could play up to their potential, they could topple Benet, which came into the matchup 30-2 and ranked at, or near, the top of every Chicago area softball poll imaginable. “We’ve been practicing very hard,” said Ryan Moak, whose eighth-seeded club nipped No. 9-seed Naperville North, 2-1, on May 28 in the regional semifinals to get to the title game. “They have come together as a team when they needed to most. I knew that if we came out here and we played the ball that I know that we could play, we would end up on top, and they did.” The Raiders trailed Benet 1-0 through five innings and had mustered only two hits over that span on Redwings starter Molly Moran, who owned a 19-1 record. However,things fell into place for the Raiders in the deciding sixth inning. Jen Hutnagle led off the inning with a walk, but Moran retired the next two Bolingbrook batters. However, Jen Jacobson hit a ground ball just to the left of second base, which went off the Benet second baseman’s glove. The ball slowly dribbled into short-center field, allowing Hutnagle and Jacobson to advance to third and second, respectively. Simpson then nailed Moran’s first pitch for her dramatic three-run blast, which sailed past the left-field foul pole only by a few feet. Simpson said afterward that she was just looking to get a base hit, but Moran gave her a cookie. “I wasn’t planning on hitting it,” she said, “but the perfect pitch came in and it happened. I actually thought it was foul at first.” “That girl can hit,” Ryan Moak said. “Today, I told her to relax and go up there because I think she thinks she has to hit home runs every time up there. It’s funny; she’s got the most home runs (on the team) but she’s

got the most strikeout on the team. I told her, ‘Relax, go up there and just hit, have an atbat and just get on base.’ ” Jacobson and Nicole Bond each came through with tworun singles in the Raiders’ four-run seventh, while Lauren Pondo also doubled in the inning. “It’s exciting to be the team that is a regional champion, and I’m part of that team,” Simpson said. Another noteworthy performance Saturday was that turned in by senior Megan Lotarski, who out-dueled Moran. Lotarski walked six and went deep into counts, but came up with big pitches when needed. “My strategy was to mix speeds a lot and change corners and heights because I knew I had to keep the batters offbalance because they’re a very good hitting team,” Lotarski said. Lotarski did strike out eight and limited the hard-hitting Redwings—who crushed Batavia 20-1 in their regional opener—to six hits. “She found herself behind today more than normal,” RyanMoak said, “but she worked herself out of those jams.” The Raiders took an 18-11 record into Tuesday’s Oswego East sectional semifinal opposite No. 4-seeded Naperville Central. Ryan-Moak had to listen to the public address announcer after the game to find out in which sectional her team would be playing. “I had to listen because I don’t even know when the game is,” she said, laughing. “I have no idea who we even play. It’s just going to be a regroup on Monday; let them enjoy their success and come back and work hard on Monday.” Naperville Central topped No. 5-seeded Waubonsie Valley, 9-5, to take the Geneva regional last Saturday. “I’m really excited and I hope we go far,” Lotarski said.

Romeoville softball season comes to end Romeoville’s season came to an end May 27 with an 8-1 loss to Lockport. The Spartans scored first in the top of the first as an error off the bat of Taylor Massaro scored Ally Zeigler. After the Porters tied the game at 1-1, the Spartans had a chance to regain the lead in the top of the third inning as they had runners on second and third with no outs. However, the Porters made a pitching change and the side was retired with no runs coming across the plate. “Obviously the pitcher they put in is their No. 1 and throws hard,” Romeoville coach

Christina Douglas said. “Our timing was a little off, but for the most part, the way we finished was strong and we put the ball in play. It could have been a big inning for us, a game-changer, but their coach made the right choice.” Lockport began to break open the game in the bottom of the fourth with a pair of home runs and a questionable call sandwiched in between as the hosts took a 5-1 lead. The Porters would add three more runs in the fifth for the final score. “From the beginning of the year I said I wanted to compete and play good softball,” Douglas

said. “I think we proved that, playing four solid innings here. We had one call by the ump that changed the momentum a little bit and they took advantage of that. I’m proud of my kids. “They (Lockport) swing the bat and are aggressive and that is what we are trying to teach our kids. They are still learning and we have a young team. We hope that through this experience we will get better.” Zeigler finished the game with a pair of hits for the Spartans. Romeoville advanced to the semifinal game after a 10-4 win over Joliet Central. The game was tied at 4-4

when it was called off in the fifth May 26 due to storms and the Spartans responded with six runs over the next two innings. “I told the girls shutting them down and then scoring two runs in the bottom inning and then having no let-up gave us good momentum going into the second game,” Douglas stated. “Your whole season is about the regional, it doesn’t matter what happened before that. We got the one win and we have a young group of girls who are coming back to lead the team and I’m looking forward to it. It was an exciting year for me.” Haley Williams went 2-for-3 with a double and two RBI in the

win. The Spartans had nine hits in the game as Tene Robinson, Skye Osborne and Olivia Valdez each scored twice. Osborne got the win on the mound. “I had two seniors in Tene and Taylor who really stepped up and they took these kids under their wing,” Douglas said. “They told them what our program is all about, which is commitment and hard work. It can be overwhelming for some of the girls. Our conference is super tough and finishing with a team like Lockport, I am proud of them. They played tough. It is always rewarding to see kids take what you teach and start applying it.”

Q. My manager keeps giving me feedback that I miss details. The truth is I’m a big-picture person. I resent that my manager keeps expecting me to fix the little stuff when we have bigger problems. Are there jobs where I can be successful and not have to pay so much attention to detail? A. Nope, the truth is the way you make the coffee in your break room is the same consciousness you bring to absolutely everything you do during your workday. Believing that detail is unimportant and doesn’t deserve your attention makes your entire

Whoever had done that grain of sand/And a heaven in a job brought the consciousness of Buddha to the work. wild flower,/Hold infinity When we bring in the palm of your hand/ resentment or And eternity in an hour.”To grumbling to a task, paraphrase,if you can’t look we bring everything at a grain of sand and see and everyone around the rest of the world you us down rather than are probably missing some uplifting our workplace. pretty important stuff. interpersonal Our managers see that Success is easiest at edge work when we experience Dr. Daneen Skube we can’t even do a minor task well and ourselves being in a state of won’t entrust us with bigger service in something we’re good responsibilities. at with others.

Sometimes we are in such a rush to get to the next important moment that we miss the moment we are in. When we aren’t in our current moment, a world of opportunities goes by because we just see an unimportant grain of sand. When instead every grain of sand at work gets your full and undivided devotion, you build a solid platform upon which everything you do simply glows. People will be eager to work with you, promote you and pay you a whole lot more because you show up. Next time you are staring a small job in the face, see the infinite window of opportunity it represents simply because you finally brought an infinite amount of yourself to every detail you touch.

Yes, patiently and quietly mention that it will probably only be getting worse. He will be stumped. People find it hard to engage in self-pity when no one is arguing with them.

Elwood truck reroute has local businesses scrambling As of May 26, truckers no longer are able to use Elwood as a shortcut to get to Union Pacific By nick reiher managing editor

nreiher@buglenewspapers.com @JolietILNews

The village of Elwood has taken steps to reduce unnecessary truck traffic crossing over highspeed rail tracks toward its BNSF intermodal facility. But those who use those roads say the village’s action will hamper business within the intermodal areas and reroute trucks through a potentially hazardous area. As of May 26, truckers no longer are able to use Elwood as a shortcut to get to Joliet’s Union Pacific Union Pacific intermodal facility a few miles north of the BNSF intermodal. Both are on CenterPoint property and are part of a transportation mix that makes Will County the largest inland port in North America. Elwood officials found that of the 8,000 trucks a day using

Walter Strawn Drive off Illinois 53 to their BNSF facility, 2,000 were heading north on Baseline Road as a shortcut to Joliet’s UP intermodal. Elwood Police Chief Fred Hayes said this was an “unintended consequence” of Joliet and the UP allowing trucks to enter that yard only from the south. While it was the intention to have truckers going to the UP intermodal to use the new Arsenal Road interchange off Interstate 55, Hayes said many of those truckers instead are taking Interstate 80 to Chicago Street (Illinois 53) and heading south on 53 to Walter Strawn Drive and then heading back north to the UP off of Baseline Road. Hayes said they have answered a lot of phone calls this week from trucking companies asking why the change was done and what the new route is. Barriers on Baseline and Walter Strawn were set to be erected May 29. He said that would still allow truckers to get to and from several BNSF warehouses on Baseline, but others not allowed in that area would be ticketed. Because of the increase in truck

traffic in that area, the Illinois Commerce Commission agreed to reopen the case to review the traffic allowed over the tracks on Walter Strawn. The agency held a hearing on March 18, and another is scheduled for June 18. Although they have issued no orders on traffic control as yet, ICC spokeswoman Beth Bosch said they reopened the file, which

dates back to 2001, because truck traffic has increased from the 7,000 vehicles (26 percent trucks) seen in 2003 to the current 12,,000 vehicles a day, with 67 percent trucks. She said the ICC also has received concerns about the Walter Strawn grade crossing from the village and the Union Pacific.

Wes Lujan, UP’s assistant vice president for public affairs, said they are concerned about truck traffic around the grade crossing and have been working with the ICC to find ways to help alleviate that. He said they have talked about increasing time for gates to go down, adding a safe lane for trucks in danger of getting caught on the tracks and additional signage. But Lujan said Elwood’s road closures are not the answer and would severely hamper operations within the intermodal areas. Lujan said he and some 50 others affected by the road closure held a conference call May 28. Although a press release issued earlier that day by a public relations firm for Elwood stated the UP has been involved in the discussions, Lujan said they have not talked directly to anyone from Elwood about the closure and heard only about two weeks ago about the issue. >> to see the full version of this story, check out buglenewspapers.com
