Lawsuit challenges validity of Illiana Tollway authorization State law required the inclusion of the Illiana Tollway first be approved by the CMAP Board The Environmental Law & Policy Center, representing the Sierra Club and Openlands, filed a lawsuit April 17 in the Illinois Circuit Court of Cook County to halt the proposed Illiana Tollway. The lawsuit contends that the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) has no authority to continue developing the d 47-mile Tollway proposed to be built from Interstate 55 in Wilmington to Interstate 65 in Lowell, Ind. The lawsuit against IDOT, the Board of the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning and the MPO Policy Committee alleges that an October 2013 vote by the MPO Policy Committee to approve amending the GO TO 2040 Plan to include the proposed Illiana Tollway as a financially constrained project was in fact illegal, according to a press release. State law required that the inclusion of the Illiana Tollway first be approved by the CMAP Board—which rejected the amendment in a 10-4 vote just one week earlier. The lawsuit seeks a court order declaring that the proposed Illiana Tollway hasn’t received the necessary approval to proceed. “The Illinois Department of Transportation is violating Illinois law by spending public funds on the proposed Illiana Tollway, which the Chicago Metropolitan Area for Planning voted to reject for

Learner, Executive Director of the Environmental Law & Policy Center and one of the Plaintiffs’ attorneys. “Illinois state law requires CMAP’s approval, which IDOT cannot legally circumvent. The Plaintiffs are requesting that the state court declare the agencies’ actions to be unlawful and enjoin IDOT from spending any public funds on the proposed Illiana Tollway.” The CMAP Board, with representatives of Chicago and seven suburban counties, was following its staff report’s recommendation, which found that the Illiana Tollway wasn’t needed and would expose the region to financial risk and environmentaldevastationwithout any appreciable transportation benefits. >> to see the full version of this story, check out buglenewspapers.com

April rains remind homeowners to prepare for spring floods Downers Grove-based company has been offering waterproofing services, for 35 years By Jonathan Samples Staff Reporter

This week marks the one-year anniversary of a record-setting rainstorm that caused severe floods throughout most of northern Illinois and the Chicago metropolitan area. Over a two-day period from April 17 to 18, between 5 and 10 inches of rain poured onto many communities throughout the state. More than 5.5 inches of rain fell on Downers Grove in a 24-hour period. As a result of these torrential rains, homes and basements throughout the area experienced costly flood damage. “It seems like we have a 100year flood every three or four years,” says Roy Spencer, owner and president of Downers Grovebased Perma-Seal. “People are much more aware of basement flooding this year, as people are starting to realize it wasn’t such a freak thing.” For 35 years, the waterproofing company has been working with homeowners throughout the Chicago metropolitan area and northwest Indiana to correct or prevent a variety of basement water issues that may arise during any rainstorm. Basement waterproofing, sump pump services, foundation repairs and plumbing work are just a few of the services Perma-Seal and other plumbing contractors offer. And with the memory of last year’s floods still fresh, Spencer says it’s important for homeowners to be aware of the ways they can address or prevent basement flooding during this time of year. Many of the service calls PermaSeal received last April were for basement flooding caused by city sewer backup, failed sump pumps, subsurface flooding from overflowing streams or rivers, and foundation seepage. And while even the best basement waterproofing couldn’t prevent a river from overflowing, Spencer says his technicians saw many basement floods that could

have been prevented. “If your pumps weren’t checked, if they weren’t working, if they weren’t adequate or you didn’t have a backup pump, those are the biggest things we found that people could have done to avoid problems,” he says. Another common cause of basement flooding was backup from municipal sewer systems. Although there’s nothing a homeowner can do to prevent a city’s sewers from backing up, a sewer backup prevention system can stop sewers from backing up into a home. These systems use a series of check valves to prevent sewer water, which contains sewage and dangerous bacteria, from coming up through a home’s plumbing. “Basically, it makes it impossible for the sewers to backup into your home, and you can still use your household plumbing even during a severe storm,” Spencer said.

35 Years of Service Perma-Seal celebrated 35 years of business in January, and the company’s founder Roy Spencer credits its success on what he calls “good, ethical business practices.” “When I started in this industry, it was, at best, a shady industry,” he says. “There was a lot of unethical conduct by the industry leaders at that point, and I saw an opportunity.” Spencer says his founding principal was simple: standing behind good, honest work. When the company started in 1979, Spencer was working out of his apartment and the back of

a Ford F-150 pickup truck. Today, the company has nearly 200 employees, 80 service trucks and three locations in Downers Grove, Elk Grove Village and Hammond, Ind. “We started as the world’s smallest water proofing company, and now we’re one of the world’s largest water proofing companies,” Spencer says, adding that wordof-mouth referrals still account for 60 percent of the company’s business. Additionally, being attentive to customers’ needs has helped grow Perma-Seal’s business in other important ways. Spencer says listening to his customers also inspired him to introduce new services, such as sewer backup prevention and crawl space encapsulation, which seals off dirt floor crawl spaces from the elements. “When I started, I said if we just do good, honest work and stand behind our work, our business is going to stand out. So, that’s what I did.”

A New Season Last spring’s storms notwithstanding, other types of weather can also cause basement water issues. Spencer says harsh winter weather and severe droughts, like those that hit the Midwest in 2012, can cause structural damage to a home. This damage happens when extreme temperatures and amounts of moisture cause underlying soil to shift. >> see perma-seal | page 17

A fair tax is what Illinois needs The fight for a fair tax in Illinois is gaining momentum, thanks to a groundswell of support from small business owners, people of faith, public servants, service providers, everyday taxpayers and legislators. They know that cuts of $2 billion this fiscal year and $5 billion the next without further budget cuts to public safety, education and other critical social services are both untenable and unsustainable. They know that Illinois families cannot afford the higher property taxes that might be necessary to fund Illinois’ essential services. They know that Illinois must meet its fiscal responsibilities, and at the same time be equitable to Illinois’ families by creating a fair tax structure where all taxpayers would pay their fair share. The

result would put money in the pockets of middle class families to help boost local economies and grow jobs. They know that a fair tax is what Illinois needs. State Sen. Don Harmon has filed an amendment to the Illinois Constitution which, if passed, would produce the stable and sustainable revenue required to provide critical public and social services in Illinois, including education, public safety and health care. As part of his proposal, Sen. Harmon has introduced separate legislation with a rate schedule to provide a tax break to the 94 percent of Illinois taxpayers earning under $205,000. This rate schedule proposes three tax rates: 2.9 percent on the first $12,500

of one’s taxable income 4.9 percent on the next $167,500 of one’s income (up to $180,000) 6.9 percent on any income above $180,000. Go to www.FairTaxCut.com to calculate your own tax rate. The Illinois General Assembly is taking a recess until Tuesday, April 29. Please take the time to contact your state legislators and let them know that Illinois voters deserve the opportunity to vote in November on the proposed Illinois Constitutional Amendment and that a fair tax is right for Illinois citizens.

Opponents coming up empty against Redwings By Mike Sandrolini Sports Reporter

The last time an opponent has scored on Benet’s girls soccer team was during the club’s season-opener March 20 against York. The Dukes tallied two goals, but Benet won that game, 4-2. The Redwings have since shut out eight straight teams. Their latest victim was Glenbard South by a 5-0 score on Saturday. Two days earlier, Benet also blanked Plainfield South 2-0. Christina Skopka was in goal for the Redwings on Saturday, while Kate Hennessy scored twice. Claire Elenteny, Jackie Kaufman, and Michelle Morefield each netted a goal. Emma Hlavin picked up the victory in goal against Plainfield South. There are two main reasons why Benet (9-0-1) has kept foes from finding the back of the net. First, the Redwings last year played a sweeper-stopper defensive system, but switched to a 4-3-3 this spring with Rachel Bernicky, co-captain Emily Curtis, Elena McCarthy and Rachel Pavlinec doing the job defensively. Second, the opposition isn’t getting many scoring chances simply because Benet is applying consistent offensive pressure. “Our two center-backs are so strong up there; they just let nothing behind them,” said Morefield, a senior midfielder and co-captain. “They play everything in front of them. They win a lot of balls in the air and they’re just pretty solid. “We’re playing with a 4-3-3 so we have three forwards, and with our two holding mids able to control the midfield, then I’m able to just kind of roam

free and play those forwards inside, so we’ve been creating a lot of offense.” “The way it’s set up with

Michelle, (sophomore) Ellie (Bumpus) and I in the middle, I think it really helps shut down their offense,” added senior

Katie Baumann. “We have a triangle in the middle, and our back four, and it really just helps keep everything out of

the back.” Benet coach

Benet dominant in sweep over JCA By Mark Gregory Sport Reporter

Joliet Catholic Academy jumped out to a fast 2-0 lead in the top of the first inning Saturday in an East Suburban Catholic Conference double header at Benet Academy. Those two runs were two of only three runs the Angels would tally all day, as the Redwings defeated JCA 12-3 and 12-0. “We have done that about five times now, where we give up runs early and then we hit,” said Benet coach Jerry Schiff. “With our home run power, really no lead is safe against us. Joliet Catholic is much, much better than what the score indicated. They have been playing well coming into to today. Their one through four hitters can hit. We have to give credit to our girls. We hit the ball well and the pitching was good.” On the day, Benet clubbed five home runs on the day, four in the opening game, but maybe none bigger than the Rowan McGuire grand slam to key a five-run first inning to open up game two. “You hope it takes away any confidence that the other team has thinking that it is a new game and let’s shut them down in the first inning and go from there,” Schiff said. “Well, lucky for us, they didn’t shut us down.” McGuire also understood the importance of the grand slam, as well as enjoying the moment. “That was fun. I have never hit a grand slam before at any level. I have never really been a home run hitter,” she said. “I think it really pumped everyone up and we were ready to keep playing. It is hard to come back from a big win without dying out and

>> EMPTY, FROM PAGE 11 indicated that the Redwings are still a work in progress, but “we press the ball with our offense, and because of that, the other team doesn’t get as many opportunities and that was a great example in the second half (vs. Plainfield South). We maintained possession, we were attacking; our flanking players were on the drive. We have some talented kids that

that got the energy there. It was important that we kept getting runs.” McGuire, who tallied five hits on the day, was joined in playing long ball by a pair from Stephanie Abello Marisa Panko and Julianne Rurka. Schiff said that as of late, Benet has been averaging right around four home runs a game. He said also, that he was happy to have a day with no wind to challenge his hitters. “We have had some good years and this is an exceptional year,” Schiff said. “We have home runs from everyone in the lineup one through eight and everyone except the No. 8 hitter has two. We just have to make sure not to get too over anxious and try to hit the home runs, because they will come on their own.” What makes the Redwings dangerous is that the team does not have to score via the long ball. “Someone just commented that we go the opposite way as much as we do, but I think that is just the training of these kids,” he said. “Up and down the lineup, if they are going to pitch away, we will go away. If they are going to come inside, well then we will pull the ball. We are very disciplined and put very good bats on the ball and so far, so good.” The day was not only about offense, as Molly Moran tossed a complete game in the opener, scattering eight hits and striking out seven. In the second game, Emily York went all five innings and allowing only one hit. York lost her bid for a no hitter with two outs in the final inning. Follow @Hear_The_Beard mark@buglenewspapers.com

work hard.” Gros wasn’t pleased with the Redwings’ first-half performance against Plainfield South, but they did take a 1-0 lead into halftime when Baumann banged in a loose ball in front of the net off a corner kick from Morefield. “We’re still in the learning process; it’s high school soccer,” Gros said. “We didn’t play very well today; the first half we weren’t playing very solid.”

Mark Gregory/Bugle Staff

Emily York allowed one hit in Benet’s 12-0 five-inning win over JCA Saturday.

Plainfield South had just two shots on goal the entire game, and only one of those shots could be labeled a quality shot. Elenteny wrapped up the “W” for Benet by scoring with around 10 minutes to go. “We’ve got a long way to go and have some tough competition coming up,” Gros noted. “We’re going try to improve each and every day. That’s what it was disappointing the first half, but the second half we made some

adjustments and our play was much better.” The Redwings on Monday visited Wheaton Academy, which advanced to the Class 2A state tourney three straight seasons from 2009 to 2011. On Thursday and Friday, they compete in the Naperville Soccer Invitational opposite Sandburg and New Trier, respectively. Sandburg was a Class 3A supersectional qualifier last season.

“I definitely think that we’re going to go far (this year),” Baumann said. “We’ve done really well so far and we’ve really gotten better playing in formation and it just keeps getting better.” The Redwings notched a 4-0 victory over Joliet Catholic in ESCC play on April 16.Morefield, Kate Hennessy, Loretta Elder and Elena McCarthy all scored for Benet. mike@buglenewspapers.com

Defending state champions turn the page By Mike Sandrolini Sports Reporter

His club won it all last June, but Downers South boys volleyball team coach Kurt Steuer greeted the defending state champions this season with a mindset that’s resonated throughout the ranks: That was then, this is now. “That’s kind of how you’ve got to go into it,” Steuer said. “Everybody knows that we did win last year, but they’re (opponents) also trying to beat us so if this team wants to get where it was last year, they’ve got to go with the mentality of, ‘We haven’t accomplished anything yet.’ “These boys want it; they definitely want it again. We see than every day in practice and in games. They’re doing the work to get there.” The Mustangs brushed aside West Suburban Conference Gold opponent Hinsdale South at home last week, 25-24, 2516. Although the Hornets didn’t prove to be much of a challenge, DGS knows every foe will be bringing its “A” game to the court because the Mustangs stand at the top of the mountain. “Me, Mike (Schmitt), Will (Tischler) andTyler (Kaczmarek) knew we had to come out and fill some pretty big shoes from losing our three captains last year who pretty much carried us through the tournament

hitting-wise,” said senior setter Jordan Pawlicki (21 assists vs. Hinsdale South), a driving force behind the Mustangs’ run to the state crown last year. “But we brought back a lot of firepower, and we know we can do it again if everything comes together at the right time again.” Tischler, a junior who helped put the Mustangs into the championship game last spring with a team-high nine kills vs. St. Charles North, is one of DGS’ go-to outside hitters along with Schmitt, another returnee from the state title team (DGS lost six seniors, but has nine lettermen back). “We wanted to make sure this year is a fresh year,” said Tischler. “Nothing’s been done yet so we have to prove ourselves. “I think the team from the beginning of the season to now, there’s been a lot of little improvements that keep adding up to big improvements. Slowly but surely we’re getting better and better as a team with team chemistry and just connecting better.” Schmitt didn’t see any floor time in Game 1 against the Hornets, but ended up leading the team in kills, registering six during Game 2. Schmitt rolled his ankle at the Glenbard East Invite held April 12, but is well on the mend. “It was still a little bit tender over the weekend when I talked to him,” Steuer said. “Yesterday

(April 15) he sat out of practice and iced it and got it taped up today so he’s ready to go.” Middle hitters Danny Hansen (senior) and Jeremy Hroma (junior) combined for nine kills in the win over Hinsdale South, while defensive specialists Tyler Zowaski and Craig Belluomini teamed up for 12 digs. “Right now we’re working on some things, kind of focusing on our blocking a bit and trying to get some more touches on the ball and timing,” Steuer said. “We’re improving obviously from the start of the season so we’re progressing. Hopefully in a month from now we’ll kind of be where we want to be at heading into the playoffs.” One poll has the Mustangs ranked seventh among the top 10 area teams, while LincolnWay North—the team DGS defeated to win the state championship—is ranked second. “Oh, yes, we’re seventh,” Tischler said, “but it’s just a number for most of us and we try not to let it get the best of us.” “They’ve a very good team, Lincoln-Way North,” Steuer added, “but it’s a whole new team so we’ve got to kind of see where we fit in and right now. If they( LWN) stay true to the rankings, that’s fine. Hopefully we’re up there by the time the season ends.” mike@buglenewspapers.com

If you’re talking about wanting to save money for them—like for a college fund—I’d suggest an Educational Savings Account (ESA) with good, growth stock mutual funds inside. Even if you want to put aside college savings, I’d urge you to go ahead and open regular savings accounts for each of

anise. Around the globe, in Mexico and the American Southwest, lamb will welcome the heat of chili peppers, while some Southern barbecue cooks might scent it with the fragrant smoke of hickory or apple wood and a lively mop made variously with such ingredients as vinegar, molasses, or tomato sauce. So, rather than pick just one seasoning style for lamb this year, I suggest you go global, combining the influences of several different cuisine, as I’ve done in the recipe I share here for East-West Roast Leg of Lamb. The recipe begins by marinating a boneless leg of lamb (ask your butcher to bone it for you, leaving the meat in a single piece) in a seasoned mixture of soy sauce and honey. Then, while the lamb roasts, you make an eastern Mediterraneanstyle herb-flecked yogurt sauce to serve with the lamb, letting guests decide whether they’d like to spoon it over the meat or as a condiment alongside. The result really is the best of both worlds, harmonized by tender, succulent lamb. I hope it adds to the feeling of celebration and togetherness at your dinner.

EAST-WEST ROAST LEG OF LAMB S e r v e s 8 t o 1 2 • 1 b o n e l e ss l e g of lamb, 4 to 5 pounds

SOY-HONEY MARINADE: 1-1/2 cups light soy sauce 1/4 cup honey 1 cup minced scallions 2 tablespoons crushed red pepper flakes FOR ROASTING: Extra-virgin olive oil Salt Freshly ground black pepper

YOGURT-OREGANO-MINT VINAIGRETTE: 24 fresh oregano leaves 1/2 cup packed fresh mint leaves 1/2 cup packed fresh Italian parsley leaves 1/2 cup pine nuts, toasted in a small, dry pan over low heat, stirring frequently, until golden brown 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt 2 tablespoons honey 2 tablespoons dry mustard powder 2 cups peanut oil Salt Freshly ground black pepper

First, if the lamb came from the butcher rolled and tied, snip the strings, unroll it and trim it of excess fat or connective tissue. Place the meat in as even a layer as possible in a nonreactive baking dish. Set it aside. For the Soy-Honey Marinade: In a mixing bowl, stir together the soy sauce and honey until the honey dissolves. Stir in the scallions and red pepper flakes. Pour the marinade over the lamb, cover the dish with plastic wrap, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 3 to 6 hours, turning the meat over halfway through. Remove the lamb from the marinade and pat it dry all over with paper towels. Discard the marinade. Put the lamb in a roasting pan, season all over with a little salt and pepper, and drizzle all over with olive oil. Leave the lamb at room temperature while you preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Roll up the meat back into a compact cylinder and tie it securely with several lengths of kitchen string, returning it to the roasting pan. Roast until the lamb is medium-rare, when an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 140 degrees F., about 1 hour. While the lamb is roasting, prepare the Yogurt-Oregano-Mint Vinaigrette: Put the oregano, mint, parsley, pine nuts, yogurt, honey and mustard powder in a blender. Pulse the machine on and off several times, and then blend until the mixture is smoothly pureed, stopping once or twice to scrape down the bowl. Then, with the machine running, slowly pour in the peanut oil through the hole in the lid. Stop the machine, taste and adjust the seasonings with salt and pepper. Pour the vinaigrette into a nonreactive container, cover and refrigerate until serving time. When the lamb is done, remove it from the oven, transfer to a carving board, cover with aluminum foil, and leave to rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Then, carve and serve the lamb, passing the vinaigrette as a sauce or condiment at the table.
