Tempers flare over produce stand dispute Farm owner says Shorewood mayor, village failed to address issue By Andrea Earnest for the bugle/sentinel

sweditor@buglenewspapers.com @JolietILNews

Kaity Siegel has had a produce stand in Shorewood for the past several years. Last month, the owner of Siegel’s Cottonwood Farm closed her stand, citing additional fees and a lack of communication from the village. Siegel addressed the Shorewood

Village Board at its Aug. 11 meeting in order to get a better understanding of the policy changes that prevented her from opening a stand this year. During public comment, Siegel said she had been receiving a permit application in the mail every January or February for the past 10 years. After failing to receive an application this year, the Crest Hill resident told the board that

she made several unsuccessful attempts to contact someone at village hall. “I finally got a phone call back after they noticed that my stand was going up,” Siegel said, adding that it wasn’t until then that she was told the fee had increased from $50 to $90, in addition to a $120 seasonal permit. “In my opinion, I feel like that’s trying to push out a small business that’s trying to succeed.” Shorewood Mayor Rick Chapman told her that he’s not sure what happened and said he would look into the matter. “A lot of these problems are

Extensive track project underway on Rock Island line Construction schedule in place for tie replacement project over an almost 25-mile stretch By bugle staff sweditor@buglenewspapers.com @JolietILNews

Metra commuters along the Rock Island District line can expect schedule changes and delays during the duration of a major tie replacement and track resurfacing project. The project was set to begin Monday, and a construction schedule will be in effect through Oct. 25 for midday and weekend trains on the line. The construction schedule is available online at www.metrarail.com. In a statement from the city of Joliet, riders were told to expect delays of up to 10 minutes en route to their final destination. The city said some rush hour trains may also experience delays due to slower operating speeds in work zones and encouraged riders to review the construction schedule for more detailed information on the trains impacted by the project. Communities along the route will also be impacted by noise associated with the construction equipment, as well as the need for trains passing through the construction area to sound their horns to alert the work crews. Metra is expected to replace 17,500 ties and resurfacing track

of the Rock Island Line between Blue Island and Joliet. Crews will be working seven days a week, with most of the work occurring between the weekday morning and evening rush hours to minimize impacts to passenger service. “This project is a part of the regular maintenance necessary

to keep our rail lines in the best condition possible,” Metra Executive Director and CEO Don Orseno said in a release. “Tracks and ties are the foundation of the railroad and must be maintained or replaced on a regular basis.” The Rock Island District line makes 26 stops between Joliet and downtown Chicago, including stations in New Lenox, Mokena and Tinley Park.

miscommunications,” said Chapman, who added that he shopped at Siegel’s in the past. “There was no one here that wanted to push out a small business.”

Growing tension Despite the mayor’s comments, Siegel said she was upset with the village’s lack of communication

and Chapman’s handling of the situation. After being told that her stand was a hazard, Siegel said she called Chapman to talk about the issue and claimed the mayor told her that she was “a hassle for Shorewood.” “I don’t understand how it turned

Overreaching data breach legislation punishes Illinois small businesses EDITORIAL

LAURA KATAUSKAS • MARK GREGORY • MIKE SANDROLINI

When Gov. Rauner was running for office, he talked a lot about his support for Illinois small businesses. He even used his inaugural address to describe how the state’s economic turnaround could begin with local businesses right here in Illinois. In the coming weeks, Gov. Rauner will have a golden opportunity to make a meaningful impact in support of Prairie State small businesses. He should seize that chance and issue an Amendatory Veto of Senate Bill 1833. Why? Because this proposed legislation expands the definition of data breaches to include ordinary sales and marketing information that threatens no one’s safety or security. In fact, it is so off the mark that not a single other state in the country would or has adopted a similarly overreaching measure – not even California. Illinois would be the outlier in erecting such a crushing barrier to small businesses seeking to expand online. As we’ve seen, with more and more businesses going online, thieves are no longer only those who wear black clothing and sneak into a building under the cover of darkness. Valuable proprietary and financial information is increasingly stored electronically. And criminals are capable of hacking through the best of online defenses to grab

everything from credit card numbers to what kind of toppings you like on your pizza. But Attorney General Lisa Madigan and some members of the Illinois legislature are seeking to treat physical thefts differently than online ones. Whereas in the physical world, the focus is on apprehending the perpetrators and aiding the victims, in an online data breach, the focus seems to be on further punishing the victims. We can all agree with Attorney General Madigan, who said in support of the bill: “Identity theft is an enormous problem. It’s sometimes very difficult to identify, very difficult to clean up, and it can have an enormous impact on somebody’s ability to function in our world.” But in an attempt to address the real problem of data breaches, this bill treats the breach of healthcare data from my health insurance company the same as a breach that reveals the last time I ordered a pie at my local pizzeria. The bill levies excessive and burdensome requirements on Illinois small businesses, uniquely forcing them to spend thousands of unnecessary dollars on legal fees to write privacy policies that are customized for Illinois just for the privilege of doing business over the Internet. Perplexingly, the law would treat an order collected through a website differently from an order taken in person or over the phone and then

stored in the same database. These policies will not make consumers safer. They will instead make it more difficult for small businesses in Illinois – to be created, to grow and to prosper. We need laws that proactively prevent data breaches and strike at the criminal entities that perpetrate them – not those that impose penalties on the small businesses that are the backbone of our economy. Gov. Rauner now has an opportunity before him to correct the overreaching aspects of this bill by keeping its focus upon actual threats to the consumer public rather than concocting nationally unprecedented barriers. He has a chance to provide clarity and focus so that law enforcement has the ability to protect victims and find and apprehend criminals. Whether I put cream or sugar in my coffee is not the same as having my credit card number stolen. Over the past 30 years, traditional crime numbers have plummeted because law enforcement dedicates its resources to protecting victims and prosecuting criminals. The online world should be no different.

Remembering 25th anniversary of Americans with Disabilities Act Center for Independent Living to celebrate ADA Aug. 29 By Pam Heavens | Executive Director Will-Grundy Center for Independent Living July 26 marked the 25th anniversary of the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act by President George H.W. Bush. The number of parades, firework displays and barbeques were undoubtedly fewer than July 4 celebrations, but to the roughly 53 million Americans with disabilities, our joy in reaching this landmark anniversary was indescribable. This federal piece of legislation prohibits discrimination based on disability in employment, local

and state government, public accommodations, transportation, and telecommunications. The question arises: What progress has been made to fulfill the ADA’s promise of equal access, inclusion and equal opportunity? In most large cities, fixed-route buses are accessible and offer comparable para-transit service. Curb cuts at street intersections are more prevalent. Many owners of buildings constructed prior to the ADA have made modifications to increase access, thus increasing their profits. Computer software allows people with vision loss or blindness to access email, browse the Internet, as well as perform tasks on various computer programs. Certainly, improvements have been made for people with disabilities in the past quarter century. However, the

unemployment rate among working age people with disabilities remains at a staggering 70 percent. Businesses remain inaccessible, even though they may require a minor modification. Public transportation is desperately needed throughout the state and nation. Thousands of people with disabilities remain institutionalized. On Aug. 29, the Will-Grundy Center for Independent Living will hold its Empowerment Event: Celebrating the 25th Anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act. We invite everyone to join us for an evening of dinner, music and prizes at Harrah’s Joliet from 5:30-10 p.m. Proceeds will benefit services the center provides to people with any disability of any age, which allows them to live independent lives. Seats are $50 per person. RSVP to pam@wgcil.org or call 815-729-0162.

Year of the Community College JJC, state officials celebrate 50th anniversary of Illinois Community Colleges Act By Megann Horstead for the bugle

sweditor@buglenewspapers.com @JolietILNews

Joliet Junior College and surrounding communities came together Aug. 12 in honor of the 50th anniversary of the Illinois Community Colleges Act. The institution was the nation’s first community college, paving the way for other post-secondary opportunities. Gov. Bruce Rauner issued a proclamation naming July 15, 2015, through July 15, 2016, “The Year Of the Community College.” The proclamation designates the state’s commemoration of the milestone through events, conferences and other initiatives. The 50th anniversary celebration is aimed to recognize the successes of community colleges, considering the promise of the act and what it means for the people. “It’s no accident that these institutions are known as ‘community colleges,’” Sen. Pat McGuire said during the celebration at Joliet Junior College, noting that individuals earning degrees at these institutions strengthen the community and the nation. According to the Illinois Community College Board, 9 out of 10 community college graduates will live, work, pay taxes and raise their families in Illinois upon successful completion of community college. “I would suggest that we take our focus off selective and think about effective,” McGuire added, emphasizing how schools on the east coast compare to community colleges in Illinois in terms of preparing students to be productive citizens and leaders in society. Success in community college can be measured in a number of ways, but students find it in part because of administrators, faculty, staff and trustees, and their commitment to higher education. Andrew Bollman, president of the Illinois Community College

Pat McGuire; Karen Hunter Anderson, executive director of the Illinois Community College Board; Eric Wilhelmi, president of Student Government Association at JJC; Sen. Michael Hastings; Debra Daniels, president of JJC; and Andrew Bollman, president of the Illinois Community College Trustees Association. Trustees Association, said they are all ingrained with similar qualities, including focus, desire to achieve, and a sense of responsibility to give back to their community. Seeing such widespread commitment to higher education is wonderful, he said, noting that community colleges only use 16 percent of the higher education budget. “Our community college graduates have contributed billions to the economy and tax roll,” said Bollman, who graduated from Sauk Valley Community College in Dixon, Illinois. “But, most importantly, our graduates have bettered this society with their increased knowledge and responsibility to the community.” Executive Director of Illinois College Board Karen Hunter Anderson echoed Bollman’s comments on community colleges and their increasing importance in today’s world. “Community college is not the education of yesterday but is the education of tomorrow,” she said. “We don’t offer shop classes or teach keypunch anymore. We teach nanotechnology and proton therapy.” Anderson added that these institutions respond to the needs of their communities and show they’re ready, flexible and willing to help students attain new and cutting edge jobs.

Dynasty in thE MAking By Mark Gregory sports reporter

mark@buglenewspapers.com @Hear_The_Beard

There have been many dynasties in sports history, some right here in Chicago like the Bulls in the 1990s and the recent run of the Blackhawks. Well, one more Chicago team is looking to add its name to that list – and it is captained by one of Plainfield’s own. Heather Furr and the Chicago Bliss of the Legends Football League defeated the Atlanta Steam 41-6 in the Eastern Conference finals of the Legends Football League on Aug. 15 at Toyota Park in Bridgeview. The Bliss have not lost a game since the opener of the 2013 season and are going for their third-straight LFL championship. They will play Western Conference Champions Seattle Mist, Sunday, Aug. 23 in Kent, WA. Seattle defeated the Los Angeles Temptation 28-24. Three straight would match the run of L.A., who won the first three titles. The Temptation are credited with five titles, but the first two were wins in a one game exhibition game that spawned the LFL. “I never had expectations,” Furr said. “I never knew what would happen, how the turnover would be, so I never knew how awesome things would be right now. We are building a dynasty.” Currently, she is second in the LFL with 397 yards on 45-of-80 passing with 10 TDs and zero interceptions. As a defensive back, she is tied with teammate Alli Alberts with two interceptions and leads the league with a pair of sacks. Furr is in her fifth season in the league and has a pair of Most Valuable Player awards to go with her two titles. She said despite not being paid and playing for the love of the

It is hard to leave before someone dethrones you.”

That being said, there has been turnover on the roster and those players are expected to step up and contribute. “There is a lot of turnover, but that turnover comes from the players that aren’t really playing, because if you are playing for the

love of the team and you are not getting a lot of playing time it is hard to devote so much time,” she said. One of the new players that has stepped up this season is rookie center Stephanie Murray, also a Plainfield resident, who played

high school sports at Providence and Plainfield South. Murray has a degree in biological sciences from Southern Illinois University and earned a second bachelor’s degree in nursing from

Amazing Day at the PGA Championship in Wisconsin By Scott Taylor sports editor

staylor@enterprisepublications.com @Taylor_Sports

KOHLER, WI â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Since the weekend when he first burst on to the major scene in 2010 at the PGA Championship at Whistling Straits with a top-10 finish, I was a fan of Jason Day. However, he suffered several heartbreaks and close calls in majors after that. In 2011 he tied for second at the Masters and was second alone in the US Open. In 2013 he took third at the Masters and was runner up at the US Open. Day was in contention again this year at the US Open before his vertigo caught up to him and he finished tied for ninth. Then he was one shot off of a playoff in the British Open. His career came full circle last weekend at Whistling Straits, where he put up the lowest score under par in major history (-20) to win the PGA Championship. His performance was all the more impressive with Jordan Spieth chasing him.

SUMMER OF SPIETH Speaking of Spieth, his performance in the majors this year was the best ever. He shot 54-under-par for the four majors, besting Tiger Woods by one stroke from 2000. Now, Tiger won three majors

PGA Champion Jason Day hoists the Wanamaker trophy after the Final Round at the 97th PGA Championship at Whistling Straits in Kohler, WI. that year, and finished fifth in the Masters. But, the competition isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t comparable from then to now, thanks in large part to the success he had around the turn of the century. Spieth won two majors, finished second to a recordbreaking finish and was one shot off of a playoff. Tiger needed a playoff to beat Bob May in the PGA Championship that year.

Yes, Bob May, who has never won a tournament and lost not only his PGA Tour card, but his Web.com Tour card as well.

THE COURSE If you watched the PGA on TV and thought that Whistling Straits is a beautiful course, you are right. It is rare to see a course

On several other holes, the lake is in the background, giving you quite the view from the gallery no matter where you are. There are also views of bunkers… everywhere. There are more than 1,000 bunkers on the course and many of them come into play. Those that don’t you have to navigate as a spectator.

I loved playing flag football in college. I played on a girls team and on a co-ed team and I have always been a jock.” It was a chance encounter at Jameson’s Pub in Joliet, where Murray worked as a bartender, that brought her to the Bliss. “I was bartending and one of the coaches (Ryan Andrews) came in there and asked me if I ever played football,” she said. “I told him that was a weird question to ask a girl, but that I had played football. Six months later were tryouts. I saw the promotional videos and they are brutal. I didn’t know if I would make the team or if I would even make it past tryouts. They made cuts through tryouts, training camp and all the way to the first game.” Not only did Murray make the team, she has contributed in her first year. “I am one of the rookies that gets quite a bit of playing time, so it is been a lot of fun for me,” she said. “I have always been super into sports, so it is just another exciting sport for me to play.” Murray plays center, but does have a pair of receptions on the season, both going for five-yard touchdowns. Whether she is snapping the ball or catching it, she always works hand in hand with Furr. “I put in a lot of hard work to get playing time and the coaches trust me and Heather trusts me,” Murray

around 90 on multiple days, it got hot with little to no relief. The only relief you get is from the Lakeside breeze, which was the case Saturday. The landscape also made it tough to navigate from hole to hole. With a lot of hills and tall grass, it was rather slippery and I saw at least 15 people fall, some pretty badly.

said. Furr is happy to have another resident on the team. “I love that Steph is on the team. She is another girl from Plainfield, so it is a small world,” Furr said. “She has been doing so well and has fit in so well at multiple positions. I couldn’t have asked for a better second representation from our hometown.” Murray is looking forward to possibly capturing her first championship, while helping Furr earn her third. “I am excited to see if we can win the championship. I think we have the best team and the smartest coaches,” she said. “That’s what this comes down to – we all have the strength, it is who has the knowledge and we practice intense and put in the time and effort to make sure we have a new game plan.” Win or lose the title this year, the future in the LFL is an unknown for

CROWD

and others. While the BMW Championship at Conway Farms next month generally has a local contingent, this was far from it. I can imagine people coming in from all over the country and world to this event.

I have been to several professional tournaments over the years: The Western Open/ BMW for at least 10 years, the John Deere Classic, the Memorial in Ohio several times and the Ryder Cup at Medinah. I have never witnessed the crowds that there were at the PGA Championship. It proved its major worth as every hole over the weekend was filled with spectators. In addition, there were thousands more people following different groups. There were also people from all over. I saw gear not only from Chicago and Wisconsin, but Michigan, Minnesota, Iowa

GOLF’S STATE

Jason Day drew a big gallery in the final groups. But so too did Phil Mickelson, Rory McIlroy, Bubba Watson, Steve Stricker, Rickie Fowler and Dustin Johnson, among others. Golf has never been better with a greater amount of stars than there is now.

While there are still some people stuck in the Tiger Woods era where it is Tiger or nothing, true golf fans are coming out in droves to support a bevy of great players. While Tiger’s gallery was huge as always before he missed the cut, there were several players with big followings over the weekend. Obviously, Jordan Spieth and

Moving ahead to Conway Farms next month, galleries will have several different players to follow with different storylines. While Tiger has a lot of work to do to make it to Chicagoland, many of the other big names will be there. With the top 70 players being cut to 30 after the tournament, there will be many storylines as well.

both Plainfield natives. At 23 years old, Murray is gung ho about trying to keep her career going. “I believe that the competition will grow and I plan on playing next year and if the competition outweighs me and beats me out, so be it,” she said. “But, I am going to try and play.” At 31 and having already suffered several injuries, Furr will take the off season to reevaluate her career. “What I learned over the last five years is that you are not young

forever and that your body tends to respond differently when you get injured,” she said. “You don’t recover as fast. There is a time when you have to say that maybe I am not at the top of my game. I don’t feel that way, but I also don’t feel mentally that I ever will feel that way. I am taking it in stride, one season at a time, one game at a time.” No matter if she ever takes the field again or not, Furr has one more task at hand with the LFL and that is as a reality TV star.

She is among eight Bliss players cameras followed around for the inaugural season of Oxygen Network’s upcoming show Pretty. Strong. set to be released in the fall. The exposure could open many new doors for the former District 202 teacher. “The exposure will be great,” Furr said. “I am still figuring out where my next path will be. I am looking at if I want to go back into teaching. I am always open to suggestions and adventures, so you never know where you will run into me next.”

Wedgewood has firm fairways and greens tees and doglegs right with Typically when we go a forest of trees on both out to review courses, sides of the fairway. It the courses are ones I bends back to the left a have never played. bit at a sharply sloped That wasn’t the green from back to front. case when I reviewed If that hole, the No. 3 Wedgewood Golf Course ranked handicap doesn’t in Joliet. I call it my home sound hard enough, the course as I have been next hole is the No. 1 playing it since I was 12 taylor’s take by scott taylor ranked handicap. It is years old and I play it 386 yards from the white multiple times a year. Part of the reason why I play it so tees and has a bunch of trees to often is it is five minutes from my the right and a river to the left with house. Another is the great rates, trees surrounding the river. There especially for residents. Finally, the also is a bunker guarding another course is always in good shape, the sloped green. The fourth hole doesn’t get pace of play is quick and there is a good combination of challenging much easier as it plays 209 from the blue tees and 172 from the and potentially easy holes. The course does play long, at white. It is another sloped green 6,836 yards from the blue and with a bunker in the front left and 6,519 from the white, but it does more trees on both sides to make play quick as well, from tee to a bad shot more punishable. A short par-4 is next and it is green and also the rough. The first hole is a straightforward more wide open, giving you a nice par-3 that plays over a bunker break, unless you drive it into the in the front left of the green. The fairway bunker. The sixth hole also second hole is a brutally tough is one of the easier ones at just 486 par-5. It plays 545 from the white yards for a par-5, but it is virtually

impossible to stay on the green in two as there is a bunker guarding the front of the green. A bailout left sets up an up-and-down for birdie. The seventh is a 422-yard par4, which is tough with water that comes into play on the left. That water must be hit over on the ensuing 146-yard par-3. The front nine finishes with a par-4 where water can come into play on the right off the tee and on your approach if you didn’t carry it past the water on the drive. The back nine has always seemed slightly easier to me overall, but it doesn’t have as many good scoring opportunities. No. 10 is a pretty simple par4, but it is still hard to score well on it. The 11th hole is a 491-yard par-5 that is very similar to No. 6 except for some water to the left and a slight dogleg left. A fairway bunker comes into play as well. The 12th hole also has a fairway bunker that can make it a difficult hole, if a 425-yard hole isn’t hard enough. That is followed by a 230-

yard par-3 from the blue tees and 213 yards from the white tees. With trees and out of bounds left, this hole is quite the challenge. The 14th hole is short enough to attack, but long drives can end up in the water, especially if you hit it right of the fairway. Your approach is then over water. The 15th hole is a slightly shorter version of No. 2, with trees lining both sides of the fairway. A tight, uphill shot makes No. 16 a tough hole, not to mention it plays over 400 yards as well. The 17th is a short par-3 over water, while the 18th hole is a straight par-4 with fairway bunkers that definitely come into play. The daily fees for Wedgewood are $49 on weekdays and $55 on weekends, with good discounts for residents. They also run solid deals, such as $29 with a cart for 18 holes before 8 am at some times. Sometimes people are hesitant with park district courses, but that shouldn’t be the case here. If you are looking to play a true round of golf without breaking the bank, Wedgewood should be a place you consider.

Overview wedgewood Location: Joliet, Illinois best feature: The course is in good shape and offers good deals on top of already wellpriced rates. quick tip: Speedy fairways make up for long yardage on some holes, so don’t be intimidated.

Dave Says

The best of the three Dear Dave, I’m 61 and on disability, but I’m completely debt-free and I have more than $1 million in assets. I even try to spend no more than four percent of the principal each year, so I don’t dip into it. I need to buy a better car, and I realize that I have three options — pay cash, do a lease or finance the vehicle. What do you suggest? Linda Dear Linda, There’s no way I’ll ever tell you to lease or finance a car. You have a nice, peaceful financial life, and you don’t want to mess that up. New car leases are one of the biggest rip-offs on the planet. Consumer Reports, and my calculator, both say leasing is the most expensive way to operate a vehicle. And why would you want the hassle of car payments when

you’re in such good shape with your money? I’m alright with you buying a new car, because for someone like you it’s such a small portion of your overall financial picture. I advise people to always buy good, used cars unless they have a net worth or $1 million or more, and you definitely fall into that category. Still, my advice is to pay cash or don’t do the deal. You’re more than able to do this every few years and not move the needle where your finances are concerned. Go get that new, better car, Linda. Just don’t go into debt to make it happen! —Dave

No, no, no! Dear Dave, My wife and I are recent graduates with advanced degrees. We also

have about $300,000 in student loan debt. We’re thinking about buying a rental property, and the plan is to get a mortgage with monthly payments of $400 and charge $800 in rent. We could use the extra to help pay off our debt. Do you think this is a good idea? Jeremy Dear Jeremy, Are you serious? You’re in a financial crisis, and you ask if it’s okay to buy a rental property? No, no, no! Right now, you guys are acting like Congress. You have a huge mess on your hands, and you’re both going to have to work like crazy to clean it up. That means living on rice and beans for the foreseeable future. It means no vacations, and you should not see the inside of a restaurant unless you’re working there to make extra money.

Again, no! You should not buy a rental property. Even if you did, this plan assumes that it’s constantly occupied and the renter actually pays. Those are two pretty big assumptions. Use whatever money you have to get out of debt, and live simple, inexpensive lives until you get this behind you. Stop trying to borrow your way through all of your dreams, Jeremy. Doing that will only turn those dreams into nightmares! —Dave

Chapman responded to Siegel by saying his “hassle” comment was a “personal thing.” “You’re hassling me,” the Shorewood mayor explained. Village attorney Dave Silverman interjected and told Siegel that the meeting was not the appropriate forum to solve the problem. “You’re not going to get [answers] tonight,” he said. “For you to stand there and go back and forth, we’re just not accomplishing anything.” Siegel explained that she’s been calling the village for a month to get answers but had not received a response. She added that she tried to go into the office to meet with somebody, but Chapman wasn’t there. “This was the only way I could actually talk to you,” Siegel said. Chapman noted that they had talked on the phone three times, but Siegel said Chapman hung up on her in the middle of the conversation.
