It is described as a “one-stop shop” for general health care needs, VNA Health Center provides a full menu of services - including medical, dental, mental health and chronic disease management care.

State police post emergency Property disconnects from Bolingbrook, joins rules for concealed carry Romeoville

Rules include a provision on the consideration of objections and the decisions of the Concealed Carry License Review Board Illinois State Police officials announced today that emergency amendments were filed on Thursday, July 10, effective immediately, to further strengthen the statutory framework of the Firearm Concealed Carry Act. The emergency rules include a provision on the consideration of objections and the decisions of the Concealed Carry License Review Board (CCLRB). If an application may be denied, the CCLRB will send the applicant notice of the objection, including the reason for the objection and the agency submitting the objection. The applicant has 10 days to provide the CCLRB with evidence to prove the applicant’s eligibility. “Our work as a board continues to evolve, and

collectively we have been judicious in supporting the state’s implementation of the Firearm Concealed Carry Act.,” said CCLRB Chairperson Robinzina Bryant. “The board thoughtfully considers every objection received from law enforcement agencies, and we believe that these emergency rules will provide a more defined framework on processes and procedures that impact applicants and the public,” The emergency rulemaking strengthened the CCLRB review process in areas such as CCLRB Meetings, CCLRB Conflicts of Interest, CCLRB Department Liaison, CCLRB Consideration of Objections, CCLRB Reporting, Decisions of the CCLRB, and Hearings of the

CCLRB. The CCLRB developed these emergency rules to strengthen and provide an operating framework of the Firearm Concealed Carry Act for the CCLRB. The CCLRB is responsible for reviewing all objections presented by local law enforcement agencies or by the ISP. The CCLRB votes to determine if an objection is sustained, and determines if the Concealed Carry License (CCL) applicant is eligible to obtain a CCL. The CCLRB will use every resource and necessary time extension to ensure that the reviews are conducted fairly and thoroughly under the newly established emergency rules. The Rules will officially be published in the July 25 Illinois Register and can be located on the ISP website under the CCL tab at: http://www.isp.state. il.us/.

Community Service Council set to rehab homes Group will receive its first of 4 installment payments this month, will receive remainder over a period of 2 years By Laura Katauskas staff reporter

katauskas@buglenewspapers.com @lkatauskas

The Community Service Council of Northern Will County (CSC) will soon have a check in hand that will allow the service organization to not only help potential homebuyers but reduce the number of foreclosed properties in area communities. The CSC was just awarded a final contract of $1.23 million from a state grant program that will allow for the purchase and rehab of properties in Bolingbrook, Romeoville and Plainfield. The group will receive its first

of four installment payments this month and will receive the remainder over a period of two years and be used to acquire, rehab and resell homes. The CSC applied for the grant early this year, allowing them to seek monies from Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan’s office that came from national foreclosure settlements in the excess of $70 million. Executive Director Bob Kalnicky said the grant would allow the council to purchase and rehab local homes throughout Bolingbrook, Romeoville and Plainfield that will be resold at cost and is beginning the search

next month. “We are focusing on properties that are foreclosed and vacant and can be a blight on the community. This allows for some of those vacant homes just sitting there a chance to be occupied once again,” said Kalnicky. “We have been looking at these homes and some of them are not livable and well beyond a do-it-yourselfer. We now have the funds to get these rehabbed. Our goal is to be able to have our clients pay below market value and can also offer assistance with down payment. ” The rehabbed homes will be offered to anyone who goes through the CSC’s pre-purchase counseling program. The mission of the council includes the preservation and promotion of home ownership and plans to use the funds by counseling clients on the home buying process as well. Applicants who go through the counseling program are not obligated to purchase the

rehabbed homes but would most likely benefit from a home priced at cost. Kalnicky said the CSC tries to provide the counseling and assistance that many people need and may not be aware of when purchasing a home and can stack multiple offers of assistance to make things much more affordable. Also, a huge component to the program is budgeting, walking a client through the process of how to make a home affordable. “We counsel them so that when they purchase a home they live comfortably,and that in three year’s time, they don’t feel strapped for cash when a car breaks down or someone loses a job. We set up a budgeting process that allows for a rainy day fund. Also key to the program, is reaching out for assistance as soon as possible. It can take anywhere from six months to a year to repair credit or work out any issues in the planned purchase of a home.

“The sooner the better, there is a lot to the process—it’s not like buying a couch,” said Kalnicky. “Counseling is at no cost, and we want to be able to help people with the entire process. We have so many options so that we can lay out a time frame with them.” The program, “Your Home” is designed to assist home buyers to become home owners, assisting clients with a variety of areas specifically designed to suit your needs. All counseling is done in a one on one setting and information is kept confidential. For more information, contact the CSC at 630-759-9494. The CSC was founded in 1973 as a social service agency serving residents of Bolingbrook, Romeoville and surrounding communities. CSC was incorporated as a 501(c)3 nonprofit agency in 1978 and has an office located at 440 Quadrangle Drive, Suite C, Bolingbrook.

How important a small, kind gesture can make from a prominent person On June 29, it was my birthday. I decided to go to the Bolingbrook picnic, which I have done many times in the years past. I did pick up Carmen, my best friend and also our ambassador of Romeoville, to attend this outing with me. We proceeded to the senior tent. As always, Lynn, Bill, Maureen and others were attentive and gracious to us all. We enjoyed KFC, a goodie bag (much in there) and a free umbrella. When we finished, we decided to go and play some bingo. When it was over, Carmen needed to use the washroom. We proceeded outside the tent, and

Carmen spotted a man in a golf cart. She went up to him and said, “Sir, would you please take us in your cart to the nearest washroom?” He said absolutely yes. When he turned around, it was Roger Claar, the Mayor of Bolingbrook. Carmen did not know him. Along the ride, many people stopped and shook his hand. Carmen was still amazed at this caring gesture. When we arrived at the washroom, he took Carmen and showed her the direction she needed to go. When we came out, he waited and helped us on our way. Carmen and I thanked him. I told him that his village is our

sister. My church and many friends live in Bolingbrook. I am writing this story to convey how important a small and kind gesture can make from a prominent person. Bolingbrook and Romeoville are fortunate to have mayors who care. Thank you again, Roger Claar, for a great picnic and birthday that Carmen and I will always remember. You and our mayor of Romeoville, John Noak, show yourselves as great representatives of our villages. Shirlee J. Pergler Romeoville

Avoiding insect stings by observing simple precautions When eating outdoors, keep food covered Avoid wearing sandals or walking barefoot in the grass. Honeybees and bumble bees forage on white clover, a weed that grows in lawns throughout this country. Never swat a flying insect. If need be, brush it off or wait for

it to leave. Do not drink from open beverage cans. Stinging insects can crawl inside the can attracted by the sweet beverage. When eating outdoors, try to keep food covered at all times. Outside garbage cans should be covered with tight-fitting lids. Avoid sweet-smelling perfumes, hair sprays, colognes and deodorants. Avoid wearing light-colored clothing. Wear gloves, shoes and socks when doing yard work. These will help prevent stings on hands and feet, and will provide time

to get away from an unexpected mound with insects. Keep window and door screens in good repair. Drive with your car windows closed. Keep prescribed medications handy at all times and follow the instructions if you are stung. If you have an allergic reaction to a sting or bite, seek medical attention right away at an emergency room or walk-in clinic. Joe Martinek Crest Hill

New athletic center a hit for hoops By Mark Gregory sports reporter

mark@buglenewspapers.com @Hear_The_Beard

Mark Gregory/Bugle Staff

Rodney Herenton of Meanstreets drives to the basket at the Chicago Summer Jam tournament at the Athletic and Events Center in Romeoville.

On the website for the newlybuilt Athletic and Events Center in Romeoville, it states that the center has “the potential for large scale events and programs such as music concerts, regional and national tournaments …” After all the action in the center last weekend at the Chicago Summer Jam put on by Baylor Basketball/TMT Sportz, the word potential can be removed from the description. The Chicago Summer Jam is an AAU basketball tournament that brought 130 teams from more than a dozen states and Canada, as well as coaches representing nearly 150 college programs to Romeoville and everyone involved was thrilled with the way the village came through. “I really love this complex and the Romeoville village has really just come in and let us do what we do and I really appreciate it,” said Toi Baylor, Event Director. “We look for this to be an annual event and to get bigger and bigger for Baylor Basketball as well as the Village of Romeoville.” Baylor Basketball worked in

partnership with Illinois-based AAU team Meanstreets, founded and run by former University of Michigan basketball and baseball star and ex-NFL wide receiver Tai Streets. “This facility is state of the art,” Streets said. “I love this place. I came and saw it when it was field turf and I wondered how they were going to make it into basketball courts, but they did. It is beautiful and I love the area, I love Romeoville.The people here have welcomed us with open arms all the higher ups in Romeoville have been great to us.” Streets hopes to bring a Nike Elite Basketball League tournament to Romeoville as well in the future. That reaction was what was hoped for when the center was in the planning stages. “It is fantastic how much action we have had there already,” said Romeoville Mayor John Noak.“We though the summer would be the slower time of the year,, but it turns out the basketball side has been terrific.” The tournament was not only great for the center, but for the community as a whole. >> see HOOPS | page 18

Elliott enjoying success to open career By Mark Gregory sports reporter

mark@buglenewspapers.com @Hear_The_Beard

By March of their senior year, most high school students are focused on graduation, prom and where they will be attending college the following fall. Some seniors focus on extracurricular activities, sports or a job. For 18-year-old Chase Elliott, March brought a whole different agenda – race season. Elliott is in his first season driving the No. 9 NAPA Auto Parts Chevrolet Camaro for Dale Junior Motorsports and his first on the NASCAR Nationwide Series. Elliott has enjoyed success during the first half of his first season, as he has two victories, seven top-5 finishes and 12 top10s. In fact, Elliott posted both of his wins, three top-5s and three top 10s before he graduated from Kings Ridge Christian School Alpharetta, Ga. He said that he was able to enjoy his senior year, despite being one of the brightest young stars of his sport. “I was fortunate to be able to have been gone and then have been able to come back and have pretty much a normal high school experience,” Elliott said. “I am lucky enough to have a group of friends that respect what I do on the weekends and don’t treat me any different. If they want to follow me, great, I appreciate the support, but if they are busy and have other stuff to do, I respect that.” Those who did follow Elliott saw him lead 120 laps and completed all but 26 of the 2,784 laps in the Nationwide Series, good for a 99 percent lap completion rate. In early April he took over the lead in the point standings – a position he held for five consecutive weeks – making him the youngest driver to lead in the Nationwide Series. Elliott sits third in NNS points, only 13 behind leader Regan Smith and eight behind Elliott Sadler. He is 21 points ahead of No.4 Ty Dillon, the only other rookie in the top five. Elliott is leading Dillon in the the Sunoco Rookie of the Year standings as well. The success has not been something that has surprised Elliott.

Chase Elliott has two wins in his first year behind the wheel of the NAPA Auto Parts Chevrolet for JR Motorsports.

“I didn’t think I would have this success this fast in the season, but I really felt confident in the group of guys I was paired with and I felt like if I did my job then we could go out and win a race or more than one,” Elliott said. “It is good to have a couple wins and it has been good to an extent, but I haven’t been happy with the way other weekends have gone and neither has our team, but we are going to work hard and correct that.” While hard work, dedication and the right team are important keys to Elliott’ success, his pedigree may have a part in it as well. Elliott’s dad, Bill, is one of the top drivers in NASCAR Cup Series history and is a member of the recent;y announced 2015 NASCAR Hall of Fame class. So while the elder Elliott reaches the culmination of a legendary career, the younger begins what he hopes will be a career to follow his dads. The parallel isn’t lost on Chase.

“It has been a special season for all of us,” he said.“Our season has started off good and I know it is a great honor for him to get into the Hall of Fame. It is really cool to be able to experience that with him.” Elliott will look to continue his success this weekend at Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet. The race is slated for 7:30 p.m. Saturday, July 19. Like most of the tracks he has driven this year, Chicagoland Speedway is new to Elliott. “Every race track is a little different, but you just have to do all you can before you get there like watching as much video as you can and getting advice from drivers from other drivers who have been there. That is all you can really do and hopefully that is enough,” he said. “I would say that 90 percent of the tracks I have been to this year, I had never been to, so it is fun to get to experience new racetracks and I have enjoyed it and I look forward to getting to Chicago.”

Cantigny

Hazardous gem

Cantigny tough, but pretty I have heard quite a few good things about Cantigny Golf in Wheaton and was anxious to play the course. taylor’s take Mark Gregory by scott taylor and I were set up with the Woodside-Lakeside combination, as we were told those were the top two nine-hole courses of the three that Cantigny offers. I was impressed with the course from the first hole and it finished as well as it ended. After the dogleg right first hole, one of my favorite holes, the par-5 second hole, was next, named “Double Jeopardy.” It plays 521 from the blue tees and has to play over a creek twice. Both your layup and your approach shots could land in the creek, which makes you need to have accurate distances.The tree-lined fairways make it necessary to hit straight shots, as well. After a couple of rather straightforward holes, the fifth hole is a sharp dogleg right with water on the right, not allowing you to cut off distance. If you bail out left the water can come into play again on the approach. A long and tight par-4 follows with trees lining both sides of the fairways on a hole that plays

420 yards from the blue tees. The seventh is a long par-5 that doglegs right at the end for your approach shot. The eighth hole is another great one, a par-3 over water to a sloped gen that has a bunker in front of it. It shares a green with a Hillside hole and also has water behind and to the left of it, making it a very picturesque hole. Woodside finishes with a par-4 that has water to the left of the green. The difficulty on Lakeside picks up early as the second hole, like the second at Woodside, is a demanding par-4. At 564 yards, it is long and requires a great deal of accuracy. Your drive could land in the water right, or left if you bomb it off the tee. The water can come into play on the second shot away if you are forced to lay up far back as there is a narrow fairway between two water hazards. It is night all the way up to the green as the tree line is right off a tight fairway. After a slight breather on the third hole, the fourth hole is a par three where the water could come into play. A long par-5 follows and then comes a short, dogleg right par-4. At 330 from the blue, the green can be reached by the longest of hitters who cut off the dogleg. However, there are trees cutting off the

Cantigny

quick tip: Take less club to keep Location: Wheaton, IL best feature: Plenty of great golf the ball in play with trouble on holes throughout course. Lots of water many holes. hazards and tree-lined fairways offer plenty of difficulty.

Mark Gregory/Bugle Staff

The par-5 second hole on the Woodside Course at Cantigny has a creek breaking up the fairway twice.

dogleg, so you would have to play a perfect cut or clear the trees in the air. I hit my best drive of the day, hitting a perfect cut in the bend and landed just 50 yards short of the green. A great strategic and driving hole. Following a par-4 and a par-3, the closing hole is a great par-4 to finish. It plays at an average length of 378 yards, but has water in play the whole hole to the right and all around the green, except for the front, which is guarded by bunkers. It is another great hole. Overall, both courses were in great shape and challenging to play. It does require a lot of

concentration as there is not much room to mishit your shots or you could be in water or trees. I felt like there were several impressive holes on the course,on both the Lakeside and Woodside, that were both memorable to play and great to view. Then again, I am partial to several water hazards on a golf course. At first I thought I preferred the Woodside Course slightly more, but looking back, both had quite a few great golf holes. Hopefully someday I will be able to play the Hillside Course as well as it looked fun to play, as well.

The cost of this top-notch public course is, as expected, not cheap. It costs $95 to play on the weekends and $85 during the week. That doesn’t include a cart, which is $20 more. But if you have the money, or you allow yourself one $100 round a year, whatever the case may be, if you can make it to Cantigny to play once a year or once in a lifetime, I would definitely recommend stopping in and playing. All of the workers are extremely nice as well and they have a caddie program as well (as a former caddie, I appreciate this).

ARCA’s Chicago roots go back to Soldier Field The ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards will again be steering for Chicagoland Speedway for the Ansell ActivArmr 150 Saturday, July 19, marking the 14th consecutive appearance of the 62-year-old tour on the 1.5-mile speedway in Joliet, Illinois. While ARCA’s tenure at Chicagoland is relatively brief, the tour’s Chicago connections go back 56 years, almost to the very day...to 1958 when ARCA raced at Soldier Field on July 18. The 100-lap ARCA race at Soldier Field was won by Chicago-area native Fred Lorenzen. Opened in 1924, Soldier Field, home of the Chicago Bears, is the oldest stadium in the National Football League, and, from 1935 - 1968, hosted auto racing. Soldier Field, however, is not ARCA’s only connection to Chicago-area racing. ARCA also raced on the now defunct Meadowdale International Raceway road course (Carpentersville, Ill.) in ‘58, also won by Lorenzen. ARCA returned to Meadowdale in ‘60 and ‘64, and would not return to the Chicago area until Chicagoland Speedway debuted the ARCA tour on September 1, 2001 - Ed Berrier the winner. This year’s race event will mark the sixth consecutive season Ansell has been the title sponsor of the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards at Chicagoland. No Repeat ARCA Winners at Chicagoland In 13 consecutive ARCA races at Chicagoland, there have been no repeat winners among drivers.

Former ARCA Chicagoland winners are Ed Berrier (2001), Chad Blount (2002), Frank Kimmel (2003), Kyle Krisiloff (2004), Dawayne Bryan (2005), Steve Wallace (2006), Michael McDowell (2007), Scott Lagasse, Jr. (2008), Justin Lofton (2009), Patrick Sheltra (2010), Ty Dillon (2011), Kevin Swindell (2012), and Corey LaJoie (2013). LaJoie won the Ansell ActivArmr 150 last year with a last lap pass.

No repeat ARCA pole winners at Chicagoland In addition to no repeat victories among drivers, there have been no repeat Menards Pole presented by Ansell winners either. Chad Blount (2002), Frank Kimmel (2003), Steve Wallace (2006), Michael McDowell (2007), and Kevin Swindell (2012) won the race from the pole. Other pole winners at Chicagoland include Tim Steele (2001), Stuart Kirby (2004), Joey Miller (2005), Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. (2008), Brian Ickler (2009), Craig Goess (2010), Josh Richards (2011), and Ryan Blaney (2013). The ARCA one-

lap track record was set in 2008 by Stenhouse with an average speed of 180.030 mph.

Discount tickets on sale now at Menards Discount tickets, on sale for $20 each, for the Ansell ActivArmr 150 at Chicagoland Speedway are on sale now at more than 60 Midwest Menards stores up through Friday, July 18.

Sports >> HOOPS, from page 13 “The tournaments that have been here, and all the events, have had a positive economic impact on the community,” Noak said. “We are hearing nothing but great things, not only about the facility, but about the experience in the community. To be able to do this so early in the process and have teams and coaches this big in the area just allows for word of mouth to spread.” The tournament organizers and village government were not the only ones that enjoyed the facility and tournament. Players like Joliet Catholic Academy junior-to-be Jalen Jackson liked the fact that the facility was close to home for him and his 16U Windy City Magic teammates as well as seeing teams travel to his home area. “This is great for us, it is 10 minutes down the street for me,” Jackson said.“I know a lot of teams came from a long way, so it is great to see that so many teams made the effort to come here.There are some of the top ranked teams in the country here.” One of the players that traveled a distance came from Manitoba, Canada – more than 800 miles north. “It is great. It has been great

being in the area all week. Where we are from, the tournaments are smaller in smaller gyms,” said Daniel Dekleva of the U16 D1 Manitoba/The Academy. “Then we come here and this is great, then we see Mac Irvin Fire where so many NBA players have come from, it great.This is crazy.” The Fire, the former AAU home of Jabari Parker, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2014 NBA draft, feature some of the state’s best players like Jalen Brunson of Stevenson, Ed Morrow of Simeon and Bolingbrook’s Julian Torres. “This is a great tournament in a great facility right in our back yard against national teams. This is a great experience,” said 17U coach Mike Irvin. To have a facility this close to Chicago is great. We see these across the country, but we don’t see them here by Chicago.” The 17U Fire won the tournament, something Irvin said was important on their home soil. “We have to defend this,” he said. “We are a show on the road, so when we are here, we really have to impress. We have some talent.” Illinois teams defended the home turf well in the top divisions as Meanstreets, the former home of NBA All-Star Anthony Davis and University of Kentucky recruit Tyler Ulis, won the 16U division.

Dave says

Who do you want to hang out with? I’m a big fan of growth stock mutual funds when it comes to long-term investing

right? You’ll learn a ton and have lots of opportunities, so there’s definitely an upside. The problem is that the Silicon Valley area is one of the most expensive places to live in the entire country. The real estate prices and cost of living are ridiculous! Still, if it weren’t Dear Dave, I have job offers from two for the cost of living argument, it would be a notech companies. One is brainer for me. Then, in San Antonio and pays it wouldn’t really be $55,000 a year, while so much about the the other is in Silicon income and prices as Valley making $100,000 it would be about the a year. My friends are career opportunity. advising me to move to Still, you have California, but I feel like to consider the I’d have more money in economic factors my budget if I moved to DAVE SAYS San Antonio.

That’s entirely possible! your industry. I mean, it’s the I think things are going epicenter of the tech world,

If I were in your shoes, and looking at possibly a two- to four-year window, I’d just pile the cash in a money market account or possibly a balanced fund. to come out pretty even — economically speaking — once you adjust for the cost of living. I’m a huge fan of Texas. It’s a great business market and tax situation down there. But really, in my mind the question comes down to your personal comfort level and quality of life. And that’s something you’ll have to answer for yourself! Dave

Playing with house money Dear Dave, My wife and I just became debt-free, and we’re saving for our first house. We have about

$75,000 in savings, and we’d like to buy a home with cash in the next few years. Where do you think we should place our money so it’s working for us while we save? Andrew Dear Andrew, I don’t advise playing the market on the short term. If I were in your shoes, and looking at possibly a two- to four-year window, I’d just pile the cash in a money market account or possibly a balanced fund. I’m a big fan of growth stock mutual funds when it comes to long-term investing.The problem with that in this scenario would

be the volatility of the market. By the time you’ve saved up more money and spent time deciding on a house, the market may be down. All you’re looking for in this scenario is a wise, safe place to park it and pile it up while you prepare. Congratulations, Andrew. Debt-free is the way to be when you’re looking to buy a nice, new home! —Dave

You can’t recover the stone after it’s been thrown or the word after it’s been spoken. Keep your temper under control in the week ahead, even if it is tempting to let it loose. Don’t rush into a business transaction without forethought.

ost Americans understand the importance of saving for retirement but unfortunately, not everyone‚ concerns translate to action. While 93 percent of working Americans know they should be contributing to their retirement, only 72 percent are actually doing so, according to the results of Capital One ShareBuilder‚ Financial Freedom Survey (accessible at http://tinyurl.com/n9zvksh). The same study found that while nearly three-fifths of respondents plan to retire by age 65, almost the same amount of people fear they never save enough for retirement.

Unfortunately, saving for the future is often put on the backburner for what may seem like more pressing financial priorities, such as paying for children‚ college education, says Dan Greenshields, president of Capital One ShareBuilder, Inc. ‚Today more than ever before, individuals are responsible for ensuring their own financial security during retirement. Make planning a family affair by scheduling times to discuss your financial future with your partner or family members over dinner, on a picnic or as part of a weekend getaway. Investing early for retirement and contributing as much as possible to tax-advantaged employer-sponsored retirement plans and IRAs are two ways to help build your retirement dollars. Automatically transfer a regular contribution from your paycheck to your retirement account. In some cases, it may be appropriate to consider rolling over or transferring funds to an account without minimums. However, there may be some cases where leaving the funds may be the right decision. If you opt to rollover funds,Capital One ShareBuilder, an online investing platform, offers flexibility by allowing customers to trade

stocks, exchange-traded funds, mutual funds, and options. More information about whether or not you should rollover funds can be found at www. ShareBuilder.com.

Consider working with a qualified financial professional to help ensure your retirement plan is on target. It is never too early or too late to get started -- and while it may seem daunting, there are quality tools and resources that might help you along the way. Sometimes it can be rewarding, perhaps even enjoyable. Understand your time horizon, risk tolerance and goals. Generally speaking, your risk tolerances will change over time.
