Woodridge Public Library’s $2 million renovation to address changing needs of patrons BY JOAN RYKAL | FOR THE BUGLE
W
hile the public library is still the place to find your favorite book and locate a multitude of resources, patrons are finding many more uses for the library these days. It can be a meeting place for families, small businesses and community groups, or serve as a quiet place to study or work outside of the office. For those reasons and many more, the woodridge public Library expects a planned $2 million renovation to be positively received by patrons. “patrons are using the library in different ways, including as a ‘home-office’ and for distance learning,” Library Administrator Susan McNeil-Marshall said, noting that study rooms had more than 4,000 users in 2014. Renovations are scheduled to begin this summer, and McNeil-Marshall said they are the result of the library’s Long Range plan, as well as feedback from a community survey and community focus groups. Included in the renovation will be additional study rooms, a computer commons area in the adult and teen department, and changes to the children’s department, including a discovery area, early literacy area, more space and comfortable seating. “we are seeing that, regardless of age, patrons are using the library as a gathering place, whether it is younger families meeting for a program, high school or college students meeting to study or small business employees meeting with partners or clients,” said patti Naisbitt, public relations and program coordinator for the library.

Retiring District 58 board member Liz Davis was recognized by colleagues and staff during
the Board of Education’s April 13 meeting. The ceremony for Davis, who has served on the school board for 12 years, began with a performance
by the Downers Grove Children’s Choir. Additionally, Superintendent Kari Cremascoli, Board President Sallie Ann Lupescu, PTA President Kim Costello and DGEEA President Marla Gilbert took turns recognizing Davis’s tenure. “Our district, our community and our board have accomplished a lot together during Liz’s 12 years of service, and we are very grateful for all you have done for us,” Cremascoli said.“The legacy of Liz Davis’s service on our board of education includes an unwavering commitment to keeping kids first, a willingness to make difficult decisions and to lead with distinction during turbulent times, and an uncanny ability to listen compassionately, to share thoughtfully and to lead with passion and integrity.” District 58 said Davis was involved in superintendent hiring processes, difficult budget cuts, the annexation of another school district and de-annexation of a small part of District 58, the development of a strategic plan,
and several bargaining agreements. She also served two years as board president. “We’re very blessed to have a wonderful education system in Downers Grove,” Davis said. “Thank you always for being innovators and leaders, District 58.”
Spotlight on our Schools The meeting also featured a review of the district’s developmental learning program. Jessica Stewart, assistant superintendent for Special Services, and Laura Isek, DLP teacher at O’Neill Middle School, shared information about DLP, an individualized program designed to meet the intensive needs of students with known or suspected intellectual disabilities. These disabilities are usually combined with a communication disorder, limited adaptive skills, behavioral issues, social limitations and/or significant academic

Downers Grove Park District to acquire 14.8 acres Park board approves purchase of property on Ogden and Walnut avenues By bugle staff nweditor@buglenewspapers.com @BugleNewspapers
The Downers Grove Park District announced last week that it will purchase a 14.8-acre piece of property on Ogden and Walnut avenues later this summer. Park district spokesman Ian Everett said the property, which is currently owned by the Alter Group, has been in the district’s acquisition
plans for more than 20 years. During their April 16 meeting, Park board commissioners unanimously approved an authorization to allow park district staff to enter into an agreement with the Alter Group to purchase the land. “This is a historical opportunity, a parcel this size and location doesn’t come along often, maybe never again,” Park Board President Matt Cushing said. “The awards Downers Grove has won and the
top ten lists we’ve been on have all cited the importance of parks, so the opportunity to acquire this land is exciting for the Park District and for every resident in Downers Grove.” The parcel, which will cost $304,054 per acre, will remain undeveloped for the near future and will support a potential expansion of recreation and field sports. The land is also immediately adjacent to the Walnut Avenue sports fields, which will be used for soccer, football and other field sports for the first time this fall. The Alter Group will retain 3.33

BNSF to benefit from $3 million Metra grant A $3 million grant for state transportation officials to develop a comprehensive plan to ease congestion and improve the efficiency of passenger rail service on the southwest and south sides of the city and suburbs was announced recently. The money will be used to reduce congestion and delays, boost economic growth, and improve the overall quality of life for residents. The plan will also complement ongoing rehabilitation efforts at Chicago Union Station for Amtrak and Metra riders. The grant was announced during
library | from page 1 Naisbitt said she is excited for all the upcoming renovations but added she is especially looking forward to what will happen in the children’s space on the second floor. “This space will have a vibrant feel to it and will become a ‘destination place,”’ she said, adding that the new space will always have something interactive for families who may not always be able to make scheduled programs. “Coming to the library will be an event,” Naisbitt said. The computer commons area will benefit many patrons, particularly those who do not have computer access at home, according to Naisbitt. “Families will be able to connect to the school district’s technology and check grades, fund lunch accounts, and even register online,” she said.
an April 10 press conference by congressmen Dan Lipinski and Mike Quigley, and Illinois U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, along with officials from the Illinois Department of Transportation, Metra, Amtrak, the Environmental Protection Agency and the City of Chicago. “This is great news for the area, especially passengers riding the BNSF, Heritage Corridor, Southwest Service, and Rock Island Metra lines in my district,” Lipinski said. Recently, Lipinski introduced legislation that reauthorizes the Rail Safety Technology Grant program as another step towards
improving the safety of our nation’s railroads. The bill provides $200 million for each of the next five years for positive train control safety technologies, rail integrity inspection systems, a system for electronic communication regarding hazardous material rail shipments, and other new rail safety items. These investments will benefit the safety of millions of Americans and ensure that Chicago, the backbone of the American freight network, has the funding it needs to comply with the positive train control requirement, Lipinski said.
Additionally, small businesses and those in need of a “home office” will benefit thanks to the library’s access to databases used by small businesses, as well as their high-speed WiFi connection and fax machines. Renovations were originally scheduled to begin this spring, but higher than expected bids required changes to the scope of the work. “The new bids came back under budget,” said McNeil-Marshall, adding that the overall costs for the renovations are $1.35 million with the balance going to architectural fees and furniture and fixtures. Work is expected to complete by Jan. 1, 2016, and McNeil-Marshall said the library’s plan is to stay open during that time. With only minimal disruptions anticipated, she adding that any temporary closures of space or other disruptions would be well communicated to patrons in advance.
Once the plans were finalized, board members and library staff hosted a meeting so the public could see the plans, as well as ask questions. “We had about 20 people attend that meeting in March, and the comments were positive,” McNeil-Marshall said. “They could definitely understand the need for more meeting space. They felt the planning was well done and we have good reason, as well as the money in the reserve fund to do the work.” Once complete, there will be an event planned so the community can see the new space, but Naisbitt said it won’t stop there. “We want this to be ongoing, so we’ll offer tours and keep sharing what’s new,” she said. “We want them to not just come to see the new space but to also help them connect to see the reasons behind the changes.”
acres of land on Ogden Avenue for future commercial development. “We recognize that there is an increasing need for field space in Downers Grove and with land prices
and interest rates at historical lows, this is the ideal time to purchase and add this property to our inventory,” said Bob Gelwicks, vice-president of the park board.

The legislation would require agencies to release documents under a “presumption of openness,” reaffirming the principle that information should never be kept confidential to protect government interests at the expense of the public. Agencies would need to prove specific harm that could result from disclosures before withholding documents. While this policy has been in place since 2009, the legislation
The Freedom of Information Act remains a powerful, though currently inefficient, tool to obtain public information. Last year, several key stories were brought to light as a result of reporters’ FOIA record requests. The Associated Press was able to show that people accused of Nazi war crimes had continued receiving Social Security payments after leaving our country. In another instance, a reporter reviewing military ballistics tests found that the Marine Corps had issued armored vests that failed to protect
against bullets – and 5,277 vests were quickly recalled, perhaps saving lives. Likewise, records obtained through FOIA revealed that some firefighter safety equipment failed to work properly when exposed to heat or moisture, rendering it ineffective in crisis situations. Without these records and journalists’ diligent research, none of this would have been brought to public attention. Our armed forces and firefighters may have been directly harmed as a result. The Freedom of Information Act was enacted in 1966. It remains critical for creating and preserving an open and accountable government. However, it must be updated to keep up with changing technology and a persistent mindset within federal agencies that information belongs to the government not the general public. Congress came very close to passing FOIA reform legislation last year before the end of the 113th Congress. Now, members in both the Senate and House are working in a bi-partisan fashion to move these bills forward in the new Congress. The Senate Judiciary Committee unanimously approved its FOIA reform bill, S. 337, which is sponsored by Senators John Cornyn, Patrick Leahy, and Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles Grassley. The House bill (H.R. 653), which is sponsored by reps. Darrell Issa and Elijah Cummings, was reported out of committee last week. We applaud the bills’ sponsors and the congressional leadership for turning their attention to this good government legislation. We hope that this momentum bodes well for bipartisan, bicameral action early in the new Congress.

KaminsKy NCAA POY Lisle native wins several player of the year awards at Wisconsin After a breakthrough junior year, expectations were through this roof this year for Wisconsin senior and Benet Academy alum Frank Kaminsky. Kaminsky lived up to the hype and then some, leading the Badgers to the national championship game and winning several player of the year awards, including the AP National Player of the Year and the Wooden Award for the nation’s top player. Kaminsky, who was celebrating his 22nd birthday in their Final Four game with Kentucky, scored 20 points and grabbed 11 rebounds in Wisconsin’s 71-64 win over the Wildcats, sending the Badgers to the NCAA final game against Duke. After the game, the Lisle native called the win the ‘’Best birthday present I’ve ever had.” The USBWA All-American and District V Player of the Year, Kaminsky was chosen as the national player of the year, the Oscar Robertson Trophy, based on regular-season performance. He also won the Naismith Player of the Year award. “This is obviously a great award and I am honored to receive it,” Kaminsky said at a press conference. “I have to thank my family, who have really helped me grow as a person and grow as a basketball player. I’m just so honored to receive this award.” The 7-0, 242-pounder from Lisle is the first USBWA national player of the year for the Badgers and the third from a Big Ten Conference
school since the 2009-10 season. Michigan’s Trey Burke won the honor two seasons ago and Ohio State’s Evan Turner was the player of the year in 2009-10. Kaminsky, the consensus Big Ten Player of the Year and the Big Ten Tournament’s Most Outstanding Player, led the Badgers to a school-record 35 wins, the Big Ten regular-season and tournament championships and two straight Final Four berths. He led the 35-4 Badgers in points (18.7), rebounds (8.0), assists (99), blocks (54), field goal percentage (.549) and 3-point field goal percentage (.415), while ranking 2nd in steals (32). He also led the team in free throws made (146) and attempted (188). Kaminsky is the only player in NCAA Division I averaging at least 17.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.5 blocks per game. “To have Frank Kaminsky receive this (award) as the player of the year speaks volumes to what he has done to elevate our program and his teammates,” said Wisconsin head coach Bo Ryan in a press conference. “He’s one of a kind, I can tell you that.” Kaminsky completed his year by getting his jersey retired at Benet. Here are other NCAA Division-I winter athletes. •Sean O’Mara, a Benet alum, completed his freshman campaign for Xavier University. A member of the Sweet 16 Musketeers, O’Mara

Receiving a Class 1 designation now places the fire department in the top 1 percent of fire departments
nationwide. A community’s Public Protection Classification is based on the three main areas of a community’s fire suppression system: Emergency communications; fire department, including operational considerations; and water supply. The designation also includes a community risk reduction section that recognizes community efforts to reduce losses through fire prevention, public fire safety education and fire investigation. Only 97 departments have achieved Class 1 status, and the Downers Grove Fire Department is now one of only four Illinois departments with a Class 1 ISO rating, according to the village. The ISO is an independent company that serves insurance companies, communities, fire departments, insurance regulators and others by providing information about risk. Property and business owners in communities with an excellent ISO rating benefit from lower insurance rates.
