Joliet wins evergreen terrace case

City has won the right to condemn Evergreen Terrace public housing project By Stewart warren staff reporter

stewartwarren509@yahoo.com @stewartwarren

The city has won the right to condemn Evergreen Terrace, the troubled public housing project. The news emerged early Thursday afternoon when United States District Court Judge Charles R. Norgle released his 54-page ruling. “The court found that Joliet has two valid public purposes for which to take the property -- the elimination of blight and use as a public park. With three out of the four balancing factors weighing heavily in favor of Joliet, the court concludes that (the defendants) have failed to meet their burden,” Norgle wrote. “The court rules in favor of Joliet on all of its claims.” Joliet City Councilman Mike Turk seemed delighted by the news. “I’d like to congratulate the city staff, especially former Joliet City Manager Tom Thanas, Jeff Plyman, our city attorney, and current City Manger Jim Hock. They worked very hard on this case, and I think it is a victory for the city and its residents.” The next step in the case will be a jury trial where the price that the city will pay for the property will be determined.

News >> evergreen, from page 1 Evergreen Terrace, issued a statement Thursday afternoon: “Throughout these proceedings, we have demonstrated our commitment to Evergreen Terrace and the nearly 800 people who call it home. With hundreds more families on our waiting list, we know there remains a strong need for the housing services we provide in Joliet. While we are disappointed with this ruling, we plan to appeal and will continue to move forward singularly focused on providing safe, affordable housing for those who need it most.”The Evergreen Terrace complex, 350 N. Broadway, was built in the late 1960s as an urban renewal project and replaced historic 19th century structures built in the early years of Joliet. The federally funded, lowincome apartment buildings sit on a hill just above the west side of the Des Plaines River.The site has a long history of building code violations including broken elevators and urine-soaked hallways. It’s been notorious for drug dealing, rapes, murders and other terrible crimes. Entire families are squeezed into tiny, 600-square-foot, onebedroomapartmentsthatoriginally were built for senior citizens who lived alone. Nine years ago, former Joliet City Councilman Tim Brophy led the crusade to condemn the buildings, acquire the land along the riverfront and redevelop it. In August 2005, the City Council

voted unanimously to begin condemnation proceedings. At the end of 2013, Evergreen Terrace residents who fought the city’s plans to take over and redevelop the buildings dropped their lawsuit against the city. The residents also withdrew allegations that the city violated the Fair Housing Act by filing a condemnation suit against the buildings’ owners. Despite the city’s longstanding legal efforts to change Evergreen Terrace, some newer City Council members suggested earlier this year that the matter should be dropped. Councilman Bob O’Dekirk, a former Joliet police officer and Will County Assistant State’s attorney, questioned the cost of the long-running suit, complained that he was not kept up to speed on various aspects of the issue and demanded a plan for the redevelopment of the site. After a tour of the buildings this spring, Councilman Larry Hug talked about Evergreen Terrace in a City Council meeting and compared the apartments to a college dormitory. Meanwhile, the problems continued at Evergreen Terrace. On Sept. 3, a woman who did not live in Evergreen Terrace was killed the complex. The body of Joslyn M. Woods, 20, of Joliet, was found in a laundry room. She had suffered multiple stab wounds. Drumaine S. McKinley, 35, has been arrested and charged with her murder.

City approves 2 cannabis cultivation centers Council grants approval despite neighbors’ complaints about one site

By Stewart Warren staff reporter

stewartwarren509@yahoo.com @stewartwarren

Schweitzer Road is no place for pot plants. That’s what a family who lives in the neighborhood thinks about a medical marijuana farm that might be built near their home. They’re worried about criminals who might be attracted to the operation and being disturbed by the equipment to grow the pot plants. “And the smell,” said Kathy Garthus of 23656 Vetter Road. “When the doors are open, the smell will come out.” It’s hard to ignore the lingering smell of marijuana, she said, adding that she’d often noticed it on someone standing near her in a public place. “I get light-headed,” Garthus said. Garthus lives with Judy Kreiser,

her mother. They came to the Sept. 16 City Council meeting to fight the cannabis cultivation center proposed by Agricare for 2800 Schweitzer Road. But their complaints did not sway the members of the Council. They voted unanimously to approve a special use permit to allow the pot farm. The Council also unanimously approved a special use permit for a different cannabis cultivation center planned by Cresco Labs for 23224 CenterPoint Way. But the farms might not ever happen. The state has not given either one the permission to set up shop. Cultivation centers – the places where medical marijuana is grown – can’t be opened willy-nilly. The state laws governing them are tough. They are permitted in areas with industrial zoning and must be at least 2,500 feet from schools, day care centers or residential neighborhoods. The plants must be grown inside and not

Dan Emmans, the chief operating officer for Agricare, tried to reassure Kreiser and Garthus. The medical marijuana would not be sold there, he said. There would be plenty of security, including chain link fences, guards and 237 video cameras. “It’ll be like breaking into Fort Knox,” Emmans said.

outdoors. Additionally, Illinois will allow only 22 of the farms, one for each state police district. Joliet is in state police District 5, which that includes Will, Kendall and Grundy counties. So there will be just one cultivation center in

this area, and it might be located outside of Will County and Joliet. Kreiser was the first to speak to the members of the Council during the meeting on Tuesday. There are 11 families living near her home on Vetter Road, and not one of them received notification from the city about the proposed cultivation center, she said. “The people, to start with, on our road are real upset,” Kreiser said. “We’re going to be their neighbors.” Cannabis cultivation centers aren’t allowed near schools or other places were children are present, she noted. So how could it be permitted on Schweitzer Road?“Right across the street you have the paintball place where a lot of people play with their kids,” Kreiser said, talking about CPX Sports, 2903 Schweitzer Road. She also was concerned about

truck traffic generated by the business and the possibility that a medical marijuana dispensary – a pot shop -- might be allowed on the same property. Dan Emmans, the chief operating officer for Agricare, tried to reassure Kreiser and Garthus. The medical marijuana would not be sold there, he said. There would be plenty of security, including chain link fences, guards and 237 video cameras. “It’ll be like breaking into Fort Knox,” Emmans said. Only a few trucks would go in and out of the area each week, he said. And a sophisticated building design would not allow any fumes or light pollution to escape. After the vote, mother and daughter left the meeting, their minds unchanged.Someone really should have told them about the possibility of a problematic new neighbor, they said.

County Executive Larry Walsh Statement on Treatment for Prostate Cancer Walsh noted that about 233,000 new cases of prostate cancer will be diagnosed this year in U.S.

Will County Executive Larry Walsh, 66, announced Friday that he is being treated for prostate cancer following a recent diagnosis by his doctors. He is scheduled to have surgery Thursday, Sept. 25, and is expected to make a full recovery very soon. “Unfortunately, I am like many men my age and was diagnosed with prostate cancer following my regular checkup by my doctor,” said Executive Walsh. “I have great confidence in my local doctors who are taking the appropriate steps to treat this disease, and I am very optimistic that I will back to my regular schedule very soon.” Walsh noted that about 233,000 new cases of prostate cancer will be diagnosed this year in the United States and

approximately one man in seven will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during his lifetime. Additionally, approximately six cases in 10 are diagnosed in men aged 65 or older, and it is rare before age 40. The average age at the time of diagnosis is about 66. “I encourage all our male residents in Will County who are age 40 or older to continue to get the screenings done for prostate cancer,” said Walsh. “Although we all are busy with our daily lives, early detection is key to successful treatment.” Walsh thanked all those who have already offered their thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery. He has been encouraged by this support.

County Board rejects Joliet Township salvage yard Up to 1,200 cars could be on the facility property at any one time By nick reiher managing editor

nreiher@buglenewspapers.com @JolietILNews

An urgent plea from the Will County Board Speaker and promises of being a good neighbor couldn’t salvage plans for an auto recycling businesses along one of Joliet’s gateways. John and Carrie Thompson wanted to establish an auto recycling facility on three parcels totaling nearly 23 acres they would buy contingent on rezoning on the north side of New Lenox Road between Briggs and Cherry

Hill roads. Trucks would bring in old cars to be salvaged, and the public would be invited to come in and pull parts for purchase. Up to 1,200 cars could be on the facility property at any one time, said attorney Michael Hansen, representing the Thompsons. During a public hearing on the issue at the Sept. 18 County Board meeting, Hansen said the facility would bring in 10 to 15 jobs, as well as $7,000 annually in sales taxes and $70,000 a year in property tax revenues. Responding to concerns New Lenox Road couldn’t handle traffic from heavy trucks coming to and from the facility, Hansen said the Thompsons would pay to improve New Lenox Road eastward from their property,

with curbs and gutters, so that it could handle larger trucks. He said they also would make sure their contractors used that new route if they wanted to continue working with them. During a caucus of the Will County Democratic Board members earlier Thursday, Hansen said the Thompsons also would provide berms and noise walls so the facility would not be visible from Interstate 80, as are other businesses in that area. County Board Speaker Herb Brooks Jr., D-Joliet, said he and fellow District 8 representative DeniseWinfrey strongly supported the plan due to the jobs it could provide for that area. He also said that a charge in one letter opposing the plan that he had a relationship with the prospective

owners was false. He said he had met them only two weeks ago. During the public hearing, Amy Sanchez, president of the Collins Street Neighborhood Association in Joliet, said they would rather see good-paying jobs come to the

Joliet area, and not from an auto salvage yard that would desecrate an eastern entrance to the city. >> to see the full version of this story, check out buglenewspapers.com

solution to our trafﬁc woes could be Greuling By nick reiher managing editor

nreiher@buglenewspapers.com @JolietILNews

A couple weeks ago, shortly after five people were killed on Interstate 55 near the Des Plaines River Bridge construction zone, I wrote a column urging someone or some entity to take the lead in fixing the transportation problems in and around the CenterPoint Intermodal yards in Joliet and Elwood. The Illinois Department of Transportation seems to be catatonic following the resignation of Director Ann Schneider and the subsequent investigation on hiring in that department. The county is butt deep in replacing expensive bridges earlier than expected due to the increase in trucks from the intermodals that make our area “The Largest Inland Port in North America.” Joliet officials, assured by CenterPoint representatives the area could handle the traffic as they approved the Union Pacific Yard several years ago, are largely silent on the issue. Officials in Elwood,where all this started some 12 years ago with the BNSF yard, seem more content to toss toast from their highchair and make a mess, rather than participate in any regional planning solutions. We all hoped the re-opening of the I-55 bridge would help get the truck traffic off Illinois 53 and the viaduct there south of Interstate 80,

where you had better have steady hands on the wheel while a semi comes near you with no median between. It has, but not entirely. At least not for a road where local officials also are trying to raise some economic development by pitching Route 66 tourism plans. So who will save us? John Greuling, CEO of the Will County Center for Economic Development, knows how important those intermodals are to our county’s – and region’s – economy. And so does the farm community, after officials figured out several years ago those empty containers that just had shipments from Asia unloaded, could be reloaded with much-desired grain from local farmers back to Asia. This is big stuff, but most of us see only the nightmare traffic fallout. At CED’s annual Global Logistics Summit in Bolingbrook recently, Greuling pushed the idea of a Will County Freight Council to oversee the issues – good and bad – resulting from the intermodals. He believes a group such as this would help get the county a more visible seat at the table in the global economic kitchen. Lord knows, there would be enough to talk about at those meetings. Aside from the aforementioned issues, there’s the Illiana, the South Suburban Airport, widening of I-80 and the possibility of a bridge linking I-80 to the intermodal yards. Greuling said the council would

be composed primarily of private businesses, but that certainly governmental entities – IDOT,Will County and affected municipalities – would be crucial to any success. Will the governmental entities join up? We’ll see, but here’s one more nugget Greuling offered at the logistics summit: The Inland Port area also could need a central, consistent body that would issue overweight truck permits instead of truckers having to apply to several entities for the honor of unloading and loading their trucks at our local, inland marketplace. Something like a port authority just for that area of the county. Something (my words not his) that would take control away from Joliet, Elwood, Will County and any other affected entities for the good of the whole region, with the approval of those entities, of course. I like the former idea a lot. Not that we need any more commissions and councils, but we do need to get our arms around local transportation issues. But we can’t hold hands while we’re pointing fingers at each other. A port authority? I can’t see communities giving up control – and dough – for the good of the union. But maybe the local transportation council can help move toward that end. I hope we can do something. Some body or some group needs to be the traffic cop. Right now, there are too many traffic issues at the Crossroads of America.

Fellow residents, please be on the lookout in early November for a survey distributed by a consultant of the village to a percentage of you. If you receive this survey, please take the time to fill it out and return it in the self-addressed envelope. Your answers to the questions are very important, and will give direction to the Village Board on how to proceed forward with some very important issues about Shorewood’s future. There will be questions regarding Shorewood’s future

water supply concerns and the possibility of Lake Michigan Water coming into Shorewood in the future. Water supply is such a critical issue that we all need to add our input to the dialogue, and the survey is a good means for you to do just that. Let me bring you up you date on a completely separate issue, that being the water supply line replacements in the Brook Forrest subdivision area. The mains are 90 percent completed, with only Hammel Creek under boring needing to be done to finish. Later,

you will see the crews making each home’s tie-ins, followed by the street repairs and restoration of the surrounding ditches and road shoulders. I know that this has been an inconvieience to some of you, but be assured that the work was necessary due to the erosion of the old lines and the increase in failures in that area.Thank you for your patience and understanding during this much-needed project. It will be over soon. Sincerely, Mayor Chapman

Culinary students design sandwich for Chicagoland Speedway Year-long program allows students in advanced culinary classes to gain real life experience Chicagoland Speedway and Joliet Township High School recently announced a curriculum program for the 2014-2015 school year in which culinary arts students will partner with Levy Restaurants, the Speedway’s concessions provider, to produce a signature menu item for the 2015 race season at Chicagoland Speedway.

outreach, event planning and hospitality. “Joliet Township High School and Chicagoland Speedway have a long-standing partnership that continues to provide authentic, real-life learning experiences to our students,” said JTHS Superintendent Cheryl McCarthy. “When the staff of Chicagoland Speedway collaborate with our JTHS teachers and staff, I am always amazed by the creative ideas that result in preparing our students for college and the work force. I am extremely grateful to Chicagoland Speedway President Scott Paddock, the Chicagoland Speedway staff, Levy Restaurants, and our teachers for their commitment to our students.This

is truly a curricular opportunity extends beyond the walls of the classroom, allowing our students to work with industry professionals from the culinary field.” Joliet Township High School students from the West and Central campuses will pair up and compete against their fellow classmates in a competition for the best signature sandwich.The sandwich must be an original creation and accompanied by a sauce. “I am really excited about this opportunity,” said Daniella Casillas-Perez, a Culinary Arts II student at Joliet West.“I thrive on the competiveness. No matter who wins, this is a great real-life experience for all of us.”

Quigley has banner season By Mark Gregory sports reporter

mark@buglenewspapers.com @Hear_The_Beard

Joliet’s Allie Quigley has played basketball for a long time. The former Joliet Catholic Academy and DePaul University standout has been a professional since being drafted by the Seattle Storm of the WNBA in 2008. Although Quigley has been in the WNBA since her draft day, but has enjoyed more of her success overseas – until this year. Quigley had her best season as a member of the WNBA this year with the Chicago Sky, which culminated in her helping the Sky reach the WNBA finals and earned her the 2014 WNBA Sixth Woman of the Year Award Presented by Samsung. Quigley earned 26 votes from a national panel of 38 sports media voters, surpassing San Antonio’s Jia Perkins in the voting. Quigley was a force off the bench for Chicago, leading the Sky in scoring a team-high nine games. She also scored in double

digits 21 times this season, the most by any member of the team, scoring 20-plus points twice. Quigley came off the bench in 33-of-34 games for the Sky this season and posted her first start of her career on June 10 against Seattle. She averaged 11.2 points per game during the season, nearly three times better than her previous career best (3.8 in 2013). She also had career-best averages in rebounds with 2.2 per game (0.8 in ‘08 and ‘09) and assists with 1.9 (0.6 in 2013). During the season, Quigley posted career-highs in field goal’s made (12), field goal’s attempted (22), three-point field goals made (3, five times) and points (27 at Atlanta on 7/13). He career-best free-throw percent (.879) and three-point percent (.387) both ranked in the top 10 in the WNBA. Her 24.8 minutes per game average doubled her previous career best. “First and foremost, Allie’s work ethic is unmatched, so it’s nice to see her efforts rewarded,” said Sky head coach and general manager Pokey Chatman in a press release.“Her

ability to play at such a high level, while also transitioning to the point guard position is a testament to her ability and she’s a big part of the reason we (made) the playoffs.” Quigley’s increased performance was key to the team as it suffered injuries to several key players throughout the season. “Before the season started, we had a talk and I could tell that she had a lot more confidence in me and she was ready to give me more minutes,” Quigley said. “Then, unfortunately we had people go down for various reasons and I probably played a lot more than she thought I would. Then a few good games really helped my confidence and that just kept going.” For winning the WNBA Sixth Woman of the Year presented by Samsung, Quigley earned a cash award and a speciallydesigned trophy from Tiffany & Co. “It wasn’t something I thought of at the end of the year, like I was trying for the award,” Quigley said. “So, when it was being talked about at the end of the year, it was humbling and it made me reflect on all the >> see QUIGLEY | page 14

Sports roundup

West moves to 3-1 with win Joliet West (3-1, 1-1) earned a much-needed 21-10 win over Sandburg (2-2, 1-1) Friday night in a Southwest Suburban Conference Blue Division game. The victory puts the Tigers two wins away from its goal of qualifying for the IHSA state playoffs. Junior quarterback Alex Tibble had a pair of touchdown passes in the game, finding John Choate (6 yards) Evan French (80) for scores. Brenton Thompson added a three-yard scoring run for West. Roman Johnson sealed the win with an interception at the 5 yard line.

sPorts >> QUigLeY, from page 11 ups and downs of the last five or six years of my professional career and all the ups and downs and coming from not playing at all and being in the gym getting my game better and then finally have this all happen this summer.” Late in the season, Quigley earned her first Player of the Week award for games played Aug. 4 through Aug. 10. She led the WNBA Eastern Conference in scoring, averaging 18.0 points per game. “(It was) well-deserved honor for a player that has stayed the course throughout her career.” Chatman said. “More importantly she stayed the course this year for us transitioning from a two guard to a point guard, back and forth, and she’s still been able to maintain a high level of consistency. That’s been the big reason we have been able to win some games lately so I

am happy for her.” Her success helped the Sky to only its second playoff berth in franchise history and advance to the WNBA finals for the first time ever, although the Sky was swept three games to none by Phoenix. “It was great to be there, we would have liked to have won,” Quigley said. “When the end of the year rolled around, we just didn’t want to stop playing and that showed on the court. We had that, ‘I don’t want to quit attitude.’ I think the ups and downs during the year made us stronger and it all came together at the end of the year.” Quigley will now head back to play for TS Wisla Can Pack Krakow in Poland, the same team she played for a year ago. She is currently in talks with the team trying to get a few more days home. She said when she originally had discussed her arrival date in Poland, she did not factor in playing for the WNBA title. “They want me there as soon

wish for a Minooka father who lost his wife to cancer and is struggling with daycare costs for his young son. Members of the volleyball programs are soliciting donations for every point each varsity team scores during their contest on Thursday, September 25, at MCHS - Central Campus. For example, if a team scores a total of 50 points, a donation of 50 cents per point will generate a donation of $25. Also, T-shirts may be purchased in advance of the game for $10 beginning September 8th by contacting Minooka Head Coach Chris Hoelscher at choelscher@ mchs.net . Shirts will also be sold at the match. All proceeds from the event will benefit Shorewood HUGS.

Beyond ‘The Number’: Simple Ways to Save for Retirement New law is set to require much more transparency in most 401(k) plans (News USA) - Remember when it was sort of fun to talk about The Number? The Number refers to the amount of money you’d need to retire comfortably, and it was borrowed from the title of a 2006 book by former Esquire editor Lee Eisenberg. Everywhere you went in those comparatively giddy precrash days, it

seemed, people were tossing around figures -- $1 million,$5 million – and often acting like it’d be a cinch to get there if they just gave up one Grande Cafe Vanilla Frappuccino a week. Needless to say, times have changed since then.But unless you like your 1-in-175 million odds of winning Power Ball,the need to soak away as much money as possible – as fast as possible, in the case of aging Baby Boomers – has only become more imperative. “One of the best pieces of advice we give clients is to keep it simple,”says Elaine Smith, master tax advisor at H&R Block, the giant tax preparation firm (www.hrblock.com).

How simple?

Make automatic contributions to 401(k)s We now know what can happen if you let market fluctuations spook your use of this convenient savings vehicle. According to a study by Fidelity Investments of millions of their accounts, investors who dumped all their allocations in stocks between October 1, 2008, and March 31, 2009 (the market crash), and stayed out of stocks through last June 30, 2011 (a big upswing), saw an average increase in account balances of only 2 percent. That compares to an average 50 percent increase for those who rode things out with a continuous allocation strategy that included stocks.

Don’t squander your raise Consulting firm Hay Group says the average raise last year was 2.8 percent. Say your salary’s $50,000. That’s a $1,400 increase, or $26.92 a week. If you put that money into an IRA, in 10 years it would’ve grown to $3,108, based on an 8 percent average annual return. “It’s all about delaying immediate rewards on things like your fifth pair of designer jeans,” says Smith.

Invest your tax refund The average refund last year was $2,913.

Even the interest rate on savings accounts beats the free loan you essentially gave the government.

Take advantage of new fee disclosures A new law is set to require much more transparency in most 401(k) plans. But why wait? Financial websites let you compare fund expense ratios, and the difference between an actively managed mutual fund charging 1.75 percent and an index fund charging only 0.07 percent -- especially if the former’s performance is subpar -- adds up.

10 Steps to Help Older Adults Prevent Slips, Trips and Falls The good news is many falls are preventable (News USA) - Some of the most serious injuries among older adults, age 65 and older, are caused by falling. More than 1.6 million older Americans end up in the emergency room or hospital because of a fall, according to the National Institutes of Health. Seniors who have broken a hip by falling can have trouble recovering and regaining mobility. The good news is many falls are preventable. One of the first things you can do if you take prescription medication is have your health care team review your medication. “Some prescription medicines and over-the-counter drugs, or a combination of them, can make you dizzy or sleepy. Either can lead to a fall,” said Jaza Marina, M.D., a geriatrician at Kaiser Permanente in Atlanta. “If you fall, be sure to let your doctor know, even if you aren’t hurt. Sometimes falls are a sign of a new medical problem that needs attention.” Many underlying causes of falls can be treated or corrected. Dr. Marina recommends these

10 proactive steps to reduce the risk of falling.

Make your home safe 1. Remove clutter, throw rugs and electrical cords that might cause you to trip. 2. Store items on bottom shelves. 3. Add grab bars where necessary -- in hallways, stairways and bathtubs. 4. Add a rubber bath mat in the shower or tub. 5. Make sure your home is well lit. Use night lights in hallways and bathrooms. 6. Keep a phone and flashlight by your bed.

Take care of yourself 1. Stay as physically active as you can. 2. Wear comfortable shoes with good support. 3. Have your vision and hearing checked. 4. Use a cane or walker if you feel unsteady. For more information on how to prevent falls, visit share.kp.org/preventing-falls. Also check out everybodywalk. org for tips on walking as an exercise. For questions or advice about a specific condition, talk to your physician.
