adding style to barbeque Local Famous Dave’s restaurant is revamping its style By Laura KatausKas staff reporter
katauskas@buglenewspapers.com @lkatauskas
By Laura KatausKas STAFF REPoRTER Identity theft continues to rise, claiming the number two spot for complaints in the Attorney General’s office for Illinoisans who lose, on average, up to $200,000 as a victim of fraud. Attorney General Lisa Madigan told members of a roundtable discussion at the White Oak Library District in Romeoville that the easiest way to protect yourself against identity theft is to check your credit often and diligently. Area politicians and community leaders joined Madigan in a discussion on identity theft and fraud protection, in a main effort to communicate to the public how to prevent the occurrence
despite its increase. “We strongly encourage people to call the Attorney General’s office,” said Madigan. “We have a specialized unit created in 2006 just for identity theft that will help walk you through this information and the process. We have helped more than 35,000, people remove $26 million in fraudulent charges, so this is a very significant and legitimate concern.” Fraud alerts are listed regularly on the Attorney General’s office website and Madigan encourages people to familiarize themselves with them as a simple way to avoid a scam.

This is not your granddaddy’s barbecue joint. This is modern BBQ. Famous Dave’s restaurant, though staying true to its traditional barbecue recipe, is revamping its style, complete with a new patio and bar area at its location in The Promenade Bolingbrook. The restaurant is unveiling its new approach to BBQ with a complete renovation, new menu items and additional craft beer and cocktails in the upgraded bar at its Bolingbrook location. The new food items and the style of the restaurant was inspired by its customers, said CEO and owner Ed Rensi. “We are hanging on to our legacy with our signature slow roasted meats—we roast our brisket for 12 hours. But we wanted to attract the younger crowd who want come in and have a drink or sit out on the patio,” said Rensi. “We will always be dedicated to our regular customers who come back for our food and want to still have the same dining experience, but now with higher energy,” Rensi. >> see barbeque | page 8

There is an end in sight—the 95th Street Bridge expansion is on target and expected to be completed by October. “This is a 25-year project in the making and quite a significant one,” said Mayor Roger Claar. “We can see the light at the end of the tunnel, and it is finally coming to an end.” The expansion bridge extends 95th Street over the DuPage River, making a more direct connection between Boughton and Plainfield-Naperville roads. Motorists have been using detours for the past year as Kings Road was closed. Most of the work is complete, said Claar, leaving the road and stop light to be finished with promises of an Oct. 1 end date. The nearly $30 million project that essentially connects Bolingbrook to Naperville is being led by Will County with support from both towns. Almost half the cost, some $12.8 million, is being funded with federal dollars; Will County is responsible for $8.2 million; Naperville is spending $5.7 million and Bolingbrook has dedicated $3.2 million over the years. The largest project in Will County stretches back decades as officials poured over studies, searched for funds and answered to debate over an expansion

the existing end point near Eagle Brook Lane (between the Kinloch and Timber Creek subdivision) to the southeast across the DuPage River by way of a new bridge and along the Kings Road corridor connecting into Boughton Road. Projected future traffic levels predict this will save motorists an average of 15,400 travel miles per day or 5.6 million miles per year. The roadway will have two lanes in each direction that will be separated by a grass median. A 5-foot wide sidewalk is being constructed on the northeast side of the roadway and a 10-footwide, two-way bicycle path will be built on the southwest side of the roadway. The existing intersection of Kings and Boughton roads will be widened to include dual left turn lanes on the north approach and dedicated left and right turn lanes on the south approach.

5 victims from Monday’s I-55 crashes identified Truck driver in court for fatal accident By nick reiher managing editor
nreiher@buglenewspapers.com @JolietILNews
Five people were killed in two separate accidents within an hour July 21 on Interstate 55 near the Des Plaines River Bridge construction zone. The first was a five-vehicle crash in the northbound lanes around 2:15 p.m. near Arsenal Road, and the second involved two semitrailers in the southbound lanes just south of Interstate 80 about an hour later. In the first accident, District 5 State Police said a northbound semi-trailer driven by Francisco
Espinal-Quiroz, 51, of Leesburg, Indiana, was unable to stop in time to avoid hitting four vehicles stopped in the construction zone. That crash killed Kimberly Britton, 43, of Urbana, and her 11-year-old daughter Piper; Vicky Palacios, 55, of Coal City; and Ulrike Blopleh, 49, of Channahon. Angelique Blopleh, 17, was transported to Presence St. Joseph Medical Center for treatment and released. The driver of a fifth vehicle refused treatment, police said. The Will County State’s Attorney’s office said EspinalQuiroz is scheduled to appear in court at 1:30 p.m. today, Tuesday,
July 22 in Courtroom 305 of the Will County Courthouse, 14 W. Jefferson St. in Joliet. Formal charges are under review by the Will County State’s Attorney’s Office. In the second accident, state police said Deividas Mockus, 42, of Darien was driving a semi that crashed into a semi driven by James Missler, 49, of Auburn, Illinois. Both were taken to the hospital, police said, with what were thought to be non-life threatening injuries. But police said Mockus died later and may have had a medical condition. State police said they have turned all information over to their accident reconstruction division for further review.

NEWS IN BRIEF
Foundation votes to terminate LocaL relationship with college Police investigate Foundation cites concerns of maintaining independence By nicK reiher managing editor
nreiher@buglenewspapers.com @JolietILNews
Officials from the Joliet Junior College Foundation want to rework the contract with the college’s Board of Trustees following recent disciplinary action taken against the foundation’s executive director by the administration. In a July 17 letter to JJC President Debra Daniels, Foundation Board President Thomas Osterberger said the foundation board voted on July 16 to terminate the contract with the school in hopes of renegotiating one with respect to daily operations of the foundation. The contract requires a 120day notification of termination. “The Foundation Board is concerned about its independence as a 501(c)3 and in maintaining the confidentiality required by its donors and felt that given the extended termination period, immediate action was necessary,” Osterberger wrote in the letter to Daniels. The impetus for the letter was the June 30 action by the JJC administration to place Foundation Executive Director Kristin Mulvey on paid administrative leave. The issue began several weeks ago when a JJC employee made a complaint against Mulvey. During that complaint process, the employee was reassigned to another department, which meant that some critical clerical work was not getting done for the foundation. The foundation then hired someone to take over those duties for the foundation, and several days later, Mulvey herself on administrative leave until further notice. When JJC administration found out about the hire, they blocked the new employee’s access to a financial computer
program owned by the foundation. After foundation officials complained, the access was restored so the new person could transfer money raised by the foundation to the college to cover scholarships given out at the end of the spring semester. This was done after Mulvey, on the advice of her attorney, Tim Rathbun, refused the administration’s demand to come on during her ordered leave to process and sign the checks. During her time off, Mulvey was made aware of a donor who wanted to contribute more than $200,000 to the school, but could not find anyone to accept it or process it without
“The fact that the Foundation is currently unable to perform its mission at one hundred percent makes it clear that changes are needed,” he wrote, adding the worth of the foundation is approaching $20 million. “Protecting the independence of the Foundation is critical to both the College and the Foundation.”
her there. She also found out after regaining access to her JJC emails that they had been wiped clean, so she isn’t sure if there may have been other donors trying to contact her. In the letter to Daniels, Osterberger said those actions are of a major concern to the foundation board. “The fact that the Foundation is currently unable to perform its mission at one hundred percent makes it clear that changes are needed,” he wrote, adding the worth of the foundation is approaching $20 million. “Protecting the independence of the Foundation is critical to both the College and the Foundation.” Complicating matters is
that Mulvey serves as JJC’s Executive Director of Resource Development, as well as the foundation’s executive director. She is paid by the college for the former, and receives a monthly stipend from the foundation for the latter. Mulvey, as JJC’s Executive Director of Resource Development, is over JJC Alumni Relations, which is under the administration and a subsidiary of the foundation, which is not. Coming from Easter Seals Joliet Region, she has worked for JJC for the past 14 years and four years ago received the Council for Resource Development’s national Campus Impact Award for Private Fundraising Professional. A foundation board member said the foundation and the JJC administration had gotten along well “until recently,” hinting at an undercurrent of ill feelings that have at times risen to the surface following Daniels’ appointment as president following the death of Gena Proulx three years ago. While JJC Board trustees maintain Daniels is doing a good job, the vote for her twoyear contract was 4 to 3. Daniels has agreed to meet with the foundation on the issue in the letter. Meanwhile, Mulvey has a hearing with administration July 22. Osterberger and Andrew Mihelich, JJC Board President and liaison to the foundation, have not yet returned calls on the issue. Kelly Rohder, JJC’s Director of Communications and External Relations, confirmed they received the letter regarding termination of the foundation contract. “The college values its relationship with the Foundation, a partnership that has been in place for over 40 years,” she said. “We are committed to working closely with the Foundation to ensure continuation of the many benefits provided over the years, including most importantly the support of JJC students and their success.”

the All-American BBQ Feast. The restaurant hosted a re-grand opening and ribbon cutting last week, offering new specials and deals. In addition, in its tradition of giving back to the community, Rensi presented a $2,000 check to the non-profit organization Heart Haven Outreach. Not only did the restaurant get a makeover cosmetically, but customer service is seeing the benefits of technology. The restaurant is taking steps to be more environmentally friendly using indirect cooking and less BTUs. Rolling out in the Bolingbrook location first is a new system, the only one of its kind in the country, for wait staff and customers, using tablets to place orders. Once a waiter or waitress enters a customer’s order on the tablet, it is automatically sent to the kitchen where it is placed on screen for
all to see. Gone are the days of heading back and forth to the kitchen; this will reduce wait time for the customer. Eventually, said Jeff Loeb, chief information officer, customers could if they so choose, enter their own order at the table and pay for it with a swipe of a card. And if there is a wait for a table, no worries, they can text you when it’s ready. If you left to go shopping across the street, simply text back to hold your table. And at your table is Buzztime, where you can play the music you like, similar to that of the high tech juke box. Over time, the more regular customers come in, the music will be in tune with customer tastes. The entire intent, said Loeb, is to please the customer and offer the best experience they can. Famous Dave’s is located at 704 Janes Ave.

Field chases rookie Elliott By Mark Gregory sports reporter
mark@buglenewspapers.com @Hear_The_Beard
Mark Gregory/Bugle Staff
Rookie Chase Elliott celebrates his win at the EnjoyIllinois.com 300 at Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet Saturday night. It was his third win of the season.
After talking to the Bugle last week about his early success in the NASCAR Nationwide Series, Chase Elliott led 85 of 200 of the EnjoyIllinois.com 300 Saturday night at Chicagoland Speedway to claim his third win of the season. The win ties Kyle Busch for most wins in the series so far this season, each with three visits to victory lane in the first 19 races. “This is an unbelievable night,” Elliott said. “We were fortunate enough to be in contention on that last pit stop, the guys busted their butts for me and that was the deciding factor. As a team, we completed our task tonight. And that was the difference. I am very proud of our effort.” Elliott took the lead for the fourth and final time on Lap 177 and held on for the final 23 laps, winning by 1.7 seconds over Trevor Bayne. “We got our car turning there at the end,” Bayne said. “Had it
stayed green for another 15, we might have had it, but that’s 15 laps we’ll never know about.” Sprint Cup regulars Kyle Larson and Kasey Kahne were third and fourth, respectively, while Ty Dillon was fifth. “Chase did a great job tonight,” Larson said.“He seems to be good at every type of track we go to. He seems like he is the one to beat every week.” Elliott’s win also vaulted him from third to the top of the Nationwide points standings. He now leads Jr. Motorsports teammate Regan Smith by seven points and Elliott Sadler by eight points. Smith, who was the points leader coming into the race, struggled with a loose car all race and finished 16th. “Over the last couple weeks, we have had fast race cars and unfortunately, something has happened,” Elliott said. “It hasn’t been a lack of fast race cars, we have just had some kind of hiccup during the race, but if we clean those up, >> see ELLIOTT | page 13

review
bolingbrook
precisely perfect
Course challenging, yet fair When the Bugle Newspapers first featured Bolingbrook Golf Club, I was still recovering from back surgery and wide right not able to get by mark gregory out and play with Scott, so I was excited to have a shot at one of the local public gems we have in the Voyager coverage area. The round opens with a straight, par-4 that plays roughly 390 from the whites and it is a hole that sets the tempo for the course. The secret - stay straight and in the fairways and you will be just fine. That, however, is easier said than done, as I managed to be in the sand more than the cast of Baywatch, finding both the fairway and greenside bunkers often on the first three holes. Hole No. 2 is the first of many times water comes into play on the course, as the fairway is dissected by the pond. Length is needed off the tee box here if you are to clear the water, as well as accuracy on your second shot to stay out of the green-side bunker. The third-hole plays a long 500plus yard par-5 which has a pair of fairway bunkers, one on each side of the landing area. If you wind up in one, the smart play is to navigate out safely and not be a hero, which
could land you in one of two more traps guarding the green. Some relief comes on a playable par-3. This is one of my favorite holes on the course, as the buildup behind and to the right of the green gives you the feel of playing a secluded, valley hole. Take advantage of the quaint hole because it is followed by a daunting par-5 that plays 600 yards from the tips (566 from the whites) and requires solid golf shots to navigate water on the left and sand on the right. The sixth is another precision hole that leaves you with decisions, as the hole features two bunkers to the right of the fairway, two to the left and one in the middle. No matter if you decide to lay-up or try and carry the center bunker, be precise. A small, slightly elevated green awaits a solid next shot. No. 7 has plenty of room to the left and plenty of water to the right. A solid tee shot will allow you to carry the water that splits the fairway from the green, but a short drive makes you choose. Personally, I was left off the tee, but short and had no problem finding the water as I made the wrong choice on my second shot. The eighth is an intimidating par3.Only playing 139 from the whites, the green features a picturesque retaining wall, branded with the club logo.The narrow green has a bunker to the left, forcing players

to attempt to just carry the wall and sit nicely in the center of the putting zone. I can tell you from experience, don’t hit the wall, the bounce off will make a spectacular splash, but not a spectacular score.The smart move here is just to stay out right and take the bunker out of play.The right side offers the most green and has a grassy landing area next to it, so a miss would still offer a cleaner chip shot than if you were in, or behind the sand. The front nine ends with a 400yard par-4 that, like the rest, is playable if you miss the water that lines the fairway to the left and stay out of the fairway and greenside hazards. The par-5 10th is a very favorable hole, playing less than 500 yards
from the whites and only two bunkers that are avoidable with plenty of room in front of the green to work with. Two well-hit shots could leave you putting for eagle. After a friendly, 365-yard par4, players will need to navigate a long, dog-leg right par-5 that winds around a lake that guards the right of the fairway. Number 13 is the longest of the par-3’s, playing 185 from the whites. Don’t be afraid to be a little short here, as there is room to play with in front of the green.The 14th has water on the left can be taken out of play with the large fairway, but if you want a better approach shot and you have precision off the tee, flirting with the pond is the way to go.
Next is the club’s signature hole and there is no question why. The 127-yard par-3 (156 from the tips) requires a soft approach over water to an island green. There is room on the back of the green, so being long here is a better play than short, but figuring out the wind and choosing the right club here is key. After the par-3, the round ends with three long, but playable par4s. Number 16 has one of the largest landing areas for your tee shot, but one of the smaller greens on the course.The 17th is a slight dogleg right that has the green wrap around the water, while 18 brings you home with water on the right. Stay straight and long here and you will end your round happy.

DASH FOR CASH Pole-sitter Brian Scott earned a $100,000 bonus in the Nationwide Insurance Dash 4 Cash for finishing sixth, ahead of fellow D4C competitors Chris Buescher (eighth), Elliott Sadler (10th) and Regan Smith (16th). Scott, the pole sitter, led 20 laps early, but could never get back once he gave up the lead. “I would trade this check in for the trophy and the win,” Scott said. “But, the bonus comes at a really good time. The team has momentum going into Indianapolis where we were
second last year, so, hopefully we can hey in victory lane and collect another $100,000 there.”
FIRST TIMER While Elliott is making a splash in his rookie campaign, another up-and-comer made his NNS debut Friday in Joliet. Eighteen-year-old Erik Jones ran his first race in a NASCAR stock car debut in the No. 20 Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing.

Pearl new Lewis softball coach Lewis University Director of Athletics Dr. John Planek announced on Monday (July 21) that he has hired Becky (Stenning) Pearl as the fifth head softball coach in Flyer history. “I am so excited for this opportunity,” Pearl said. “Lewis has a great tradition of excellence both on and off the field, and I feel blessed to have this opportunity. “I’m looking forward to meeting the team and starting this new chapter of my life.” Pearl, who has served as the Judson University head softball coach since 2004, takes over for George DiMatteo,who announced his retirement following the 2014 campaign. “Coach Pearl will be a great addition to the Lewis coaching staff,” Planek said. “Her head coaching experience,knowing the Chicagoland recruiting landscape and her pitching expertise really gives her a strong foundation to lead the Flyer program. “You can’t replace Coach DiMatteo and all that he meant to the softball program and Lewis University for over 30 years, but Coach Pearl will continue on this path of excellence that has been forged.” In 10 seasons, Pearl set a schoolrecord with over 250 victories and helped Judson advance to the National Christian College
Athletic Association (NCCAA) Tournament six times, with three third-place finishes. In 2011, Pearl guided the Eagles to their first-ever Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference (CCAC) championship and was named the CCAC Coach of the Year for her efforts. That year, she was awarded the first of her three NCCAA Regional Coach of the Year awards, including being honored as the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) Regional Coach of the Year. The Eagles had a plethora of individual success under Pearl, as she coached 32 NCCAA AllRegion players, 27 CCAC AllConference players, 21 NCCAA All-American players, six NCCAA All-Tournament players, three NFCA All-Region players, two CCAC Freshmen of the Year and two NAIA All-Region selections. Most recently, Pearl coached the 2014 North Central Region Player and Pitcher of the Year. Pearl’s players are traditionally excellent in the classroom. During her tenure, Pearl has coached 15 NCCAA Academic All-Americans, 10 NAIA ScholarAthletes, five NFCA All-Academic Teams, four NAIA Scholar Team Award winners and one College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic AllAmerican.

Mistwood again hosts Women’s Open By Scott Taylor sports editor
staylor@enterprisepublications.com @Taylor_Sports
The 20th Annual Phil Kosin Illinois Women’s Open returns to Mistwood Golf Club in Romeoville. This year’s Women’s Open will take place Monday, July 28 to Wednesday, July 30. The IWO is a 54-hole stroke play event. After the second round July 29, the low 40 percent and ties will qualify for the final round. Entries were eligible to all female professionals and all female amateurs with a USGA Handicap Index of 15 or less. The players must be at least 17 years old as of July 28, 2014, but special exemptions were possible. The entry fee was $275. As of press time, tee times and a field list were not posted. The total purse was not posted, either. After Aimee Neff won backto-back titles in 2008 and 2009, there have been four different winners the past four years. Last year Elise Swartout of Ann Arbor, Michigan defeated Nicole Jeray of Berwyn in a playoff. Both finished the tournament with a 213 total, 3-under par. Chelsea Harris of Normal and Caroline Powers of East Lansing, Michigan, both finished one stroke off the pace. The defending champion, Samantha Troyanovich, finished in a tie for 25th at 13-over par. Last year there were several locals who competed in the open, including: Jessica Yuen (Bolingbrook), Brittany Johnston (Plainfield), Tiffany Boak (Woodridge), Krystal Garritson (Lockport), Rachel Oberheide (Park Ridge) and Liz Schwartzers (Downers Grove). A field list/tee times will be available at www.mistwoodgc. com/iwo at least 72 hours prior to the start of the tournament.
Last year was the second year of the new renovation of the course at Mistwood and the accolades for the course continue to pour in. Most recently, Golf Inc. Magazine selected Mistwood third in the world among public renovations over $1 million. The only courses ranked higher were Camelback Golf Club in Phoenix and Doral’s Blue Monster in Florida, the host of the World Golf Championship’s Cadillac Championship. Tiger Woods has won the event seven times, including twice since the move to Doral in 2007. The criteria for the review were based on routing, playability, maintainability and aesthetics. It was also based on before and after photos, as well as how the project met its budget and goals. “This most recent award by Golf Inc. is a major recognition,” Mistwood owner Jim McWethy said in a press release. “As the owner, I am proud beyond words of this recognition, and am extremely thankful to all those who put in their heart and soul to turn a dream into this wonderful course.” Earlier in the year Mistwood was also recognized by Golf Digest and GOLF magazine with the honor of “Best U.S. Renovation You Can Play” award. “Placing third in a worldwide competition like this was a very significant accomplishment and being recognized by my peers and selected alongside these other great projects was humbling and thrilling at the same time,” course architect Ray Hearn said in a release.“The renovation improvements we completed at Mistwood have helped to elevate the course into a ‘must play’ category among the elite courses in the Midwest. My work for this great course was a true labor of love.”

Help kids stay organized for fresh start By studying smarter, staying organized and keeping motivated, students can learn to juggle it all
(StatePoint) Back-to-school time means another year of tests, team tryouts and club meetings -- but it also means an opportunity for students to have a fresh start. Whether your kid is an ace academic or has found it challenging to stay on top of a todo list, there are many ways to get prepared for a successful school year. By studying smarter, staying organized and keeping motivated, students can learn to juggle it all.
Study Tips Cramming at the last minute doesn’t work. Encourage your student to start studying well in advance of test day. Pacing during study time gives the brain a better opportunity to absorb information. In many ways, the pen is mightier than the computer, particularly when it comes to taking notes. Writing notes down
calculators. Encourage students to decorate notebooks and binders with stickers and drawings, or choose their supplies based on favorite styles and colors. Just be sure the items chosen are highly functional. Multi-use supplies, such as the Five Star Flex Hybrid NoteBinder, acts like a notebook and works like a binder, making it easy for students to have everything they need in one convenient area. 
is almost like etching them into your subconscious. Formulating the words and reviewing them as you go is the best way to retain materials.
Organize When it comes to lockers, backpacks and school supplies, organization is everything. Different systems work for different students. For example, some prefer to arrange their lockers by sequence of the day, whereas others prefer to sort items by subject or color. The important thing is finding a system that works and sticking to it. Use tools to support the system and help maximize sought-after real estate. For lockers lacking shelf space, consider creating your own -- just be sure the solution is durable. The Five Star Stackable Locker Shelf is made with heavyduty plastic, can hold up to 150 pounds and can be stacked one
Stay Focused
on top of the other for double the shelf space.
Customize Your locker is a home base during the school day, so make it your own with artwork, photos,
and a dry erase board. It’s also an area to refresh -- so consider hanging a mirror, like the Five Star Foam Mirror + Storage accessory which not only acts as a mirror but also a space to hang notes and store pens, pencils, cell phones or
If your kid is rocking out to their favorite song, while texting their best friend about the latest gossip, then you can guarantee they aren’t concentrating on homework.Turn off the distractions and the work will get done faster and more accurately.
