Consensus was his calling card Retiring police chief worked to build alliances in village CORRESPONDENT
Retiring Antioch Police Chief Craig Somerville said his goodbyes to the Village Board Dec. 15 and was bid a fond farewell from board members. He started as a patrolman in Antioch in 1992 and just finished four years as chief. His last official day was Jan. 5. “I have accomplished things I set out to do,” he said in a separate interview, “and if the board wishes, there are several officers in leadership that could take over as chief tomorrow and the department wouldn’t skip a beat.” Cohesion, community, continuity and cooperation are watchwords of Somerville’s time as chief. “This isn’t’ a one-man band,” he will tell you. Changes began on his first day as chief four years ago. “The roll call room was down in the basement. It was dark, dank and cramped. I had some help and we moved everything up into the training room.” Somerville said the officers are the ones that go into the community and deserve a decent roll call room. “We trust them with guns. We expect them to be our
face in the community,” he said. “Before, they weren’t allowed upstairs without permission. It didn’t seem right to me.” The advisory committee Somerville set up also
Chief Craig Somerville
brought simple, common sense information from officers on non-union issues. “Officers had a hard time putting on seat belts because of the position of the handgun,” Somerville said. “Someone came up with the idea of getting seat belt extensions. We want our officers to wear seatbelts and this made it easy.” This program has netted a number of other practical ideas that could come only from the officers doing the job every day. “We trust them to work with our communi-
ty, so why wouldn’t we trust them to come up with ideas that make the job run smoother?” Somerville said. Transparency and communication between the administration and patrol officers is important, so a deputy chief or commander attends every roll call and Somerville when he is there. A mentoring program cross trains sergeants and commanders so if someone is absent, the work of protecting the community continues smoothly. They are exposed to all aspects of the job, dealing with media, payroll, personnel, administration and budget. “We don’t have an endless pot of money,” Somerville said, “and we are in this together. We are dealing with tax dollars. And by including the sergeants, commanders and patrol in all areas, they were able to feel and take ownership.” Considering the budget is a daily thing, for Somerville, but he also did his best to look at the big picture. When Somerville took command, the squad cars were in sad shape.

Donations allow more to be helped My dear friends, These past few weeks, as I was falling behind with more needs than funds to provide assistance with, I reached out to all of you with a heavy heart. Many of you have come forward, allowing our mission to remove the burden and pains of poverty. We have been working day and night helping, helping, helping. Today I received a heartwarming communication that once again made me a true believer that prayers are answered. Fox Charities wants me to announce a $25,000 Christmas Wish

matching grant. My dear friends it is up to us to remove the pains of poverty for those in desperate need. Together we will stand strong in our commitment to help our fellow creations reaching out to The Time Is Now to Help for lifechanging assistance. As we all prepared for our holiday gatherings filled
with family, food and gifts, I planned on visiting some senior citizens and families struggling this time of year. While everyone was rushing through their final days of shopping, spending and cooking, I was making sure the poverty stricken had enough to eat and warm clothing to wear. There is such a contrast between the two different holiday scenarios. For those of us blessed to have family and friends to share this special time with, it is hard to imagine being alone on Christmas, much less not having enough to eat or worrying about eviction.
Recently we provided assistance to families with infants fighting lifethreatening illnesses. They will most likely be spending their Christmas in the hospital. Thank God we were able to help them with their transportation needs and provide rental assistance, removing some of their stress and enabling them to be there every day with their children. Someone we have been providing assistance to for the past few months will be having surgery this week. We ask for your prayers that this surgery will restore her sight she lost several
years ago. When we first met this woman, she was living alone. She did not trust us or anyone. She had been the victim of domestic abuse years ago, eventually resulting in the loss of her vision. Due to the lack of health insurance, she let her vision slip away, even when there was a chance of saving some of it. Now, thanks to your help and the help of several caring and sharing volunteers, she is going to get that surgery. It is not known how much of her sight can be restored, but if she can live independently once more without getting lost outside while tossing
out her trash or burning herself while making her one baked potato for dinner, the only food she had to eat, we will help provide that opportunity. Please remember this special woman in your prayers this week as she undergoes this surgery. We will be there to help her through her recovery and we will keep you informed of the outcome. The Christmas cards we have received this season have been filled with messages of thanks. The families that are now in

Crash claims life of student, 16 Community rallies around grieving families
By Jennifer Eisenbart STAFF WRITER
There seem to be as many questions as answers following a New Year’s Eve crash at Highway 50 and 392nd Avenue in Western Kenosha County. While the exact cause of the crash remains unknown, the effect became clear in the last week. Burlington High School junior Samantha Russell lost her life in the two-vehicle crash Dec. 31, and her passenger, 12-year-old Kayla Brown, remained in critical condition at Froedtert Hospital in Wauwatosa early this week. Russell, driving a full-size pickup truck, appeared to be going northbound on 392nd Avenue at about 1:30 p.m. on New Year’s Eve, according to the Kenosha County Sheriff’s Department press release. Whether Russell was intending to continue on 392nd or turn west onto Highway 50 remains unclear. However, a driver from Beach Park, Ill., collided with Russell’s vehicle, ejecting both Russell and Brown. Now, several communities are left to pick up the pieces. The scene Christine Lupella and her husband, Tedd, were on their way home from Lake Geneva on New Year’s Eve and were among the first on the scene. “We were turning onto 392nd after traveling east on Highway 50,” she explained. “As we came up to the intersec-
tion, we saw a truck on its side, with smoke coming out. “One of its wheels was still spinning,” she added. “We figured it had just happened.” She said she called 911, and her husband, Tedd, went out to check on the crash victims. “Both girls were in really bad shape,” Tedd said, adding that he knew immediately that the situation was serious. Brown had been thrown clear of the vehicle, but Russell was pinned underneath it. Rescue personnel from the surrounding area – including Twin Lakes and Salem – responded to the call. Flight for Life was summoned, one helicopter for each of the two girls. Brown was flown to Froedtert, but Russell suffered fatal injuries. The driver of the minivan, 34-year-old Jennifer Walsh, of Beach Park, Ill., was transported to Aurora Memorial Hospital of Burlington, following the crash. Dan Ruth, the Public Information Officer for the Kenosha County Sheriff’s Department, confirmed Sunday that Brown remained in “very critical” condition at Froedtert. “She’s surrounded by her family and friends,” Ruth said. ‘A social butterfly’ Russell is remembered as a social, likable young woman with a sincere interest in others. A resident of Slades Corners, Russell grew up and worked on her family’s farm. She enjoyed trucks, and “mud-

brighter than ever.” Trying to move forward Burlington High School officials have attempted to deal with the situation the best they could. Counselors were on hand Friday at the school and were available Monday as classes resumed. Principal Eric Burling said a student-led memorial service would take place Monday in the school’s auditorium. Emergency counseling was also available for staff at the school – and for emergency personnel who were on scene at the accident, according to Ruth. “It was a bad situation,” Ruth said. “It was a tragic sit-
uation. Our hearts, as a department, go out to the families of Samantha Russell and Kayla Brown.” Online fundraising pages have been set up for both families. A youcaring.com page was established for Russell to help her family defray burial expenses. Search for “Samantha Russell” online to find the page. Applebee called the support “overwhelming.” “We are truly blessed between the fire department, church, friends, family,” said Applebee. “I’m just amazed at the support, and how willing people are to give to help us financially.”
As of Sunday evening, close to $9,300 had been raised. A GoFundMe page has been established for Brown to help family meet the costs associated with her hospitalization. That page can be found by searching “Kayla Brown” on GoFundme.com. Ruth said it appears speed and alcohol were not factors in the crash. “At the end of the day, it was a tragic misjudgment by a young driver,” Ruth said. “As a department, we continue to stress safe driving,” Ruth added, mentioning the importance of seat belts and leaving enough time to get from one place to another.

ding in the field,” according to her mother, Heather Applebee. Applebee also confirmed her daughter was a “social butterfly.” “She liked hanging out with her friends,” Applebee said. “She supported all of her friends, and was very uplifting. “We could never get any serious pictures. She was always making faces, or funning around,” she added. Burlington High School teacher Jodi Peterson, who was in charge of the advisory class that included Russell, jumped at the chance to talk about the teenager. “Samantha Russell carried with her a vibrance that permeated the room whenever she walked in,” said Peterson. “She was a sincerely cheery and passionate young lady. “God gives us a lifetime to figure things out, and I think Sammi used her time wisely,” Peterson added. “She had grown into a contagiously enthusiastic young lady. I cannot get her face out of my head, and I am glad for it.” Friends took to social media following the crash to express their grief. “How could something so dark happen to someone so bright?” wrote one friend on Russell’s Facebook page. Another wrote, “I’m going to really miss your smile, our conversations, hangouts, and everything that we have done together. Keep smiling girl. Make the sun shine more

Demolition takes a slice of history But mementos of UMC parsonage live on in Antioch
By Jude Kaider CORRESPONDENT
The Village of Antioch, Ill., lost a long-time resident on Dec. 18. By all appearances, she was in good health at the end, despite her 125 years. But sometimes appearances can be deceiving. Daily, she greeted passing motorists and pedestrians from atop the hill at 842 Main Street. In fact, she was a proud, tan-brick Victorian home set next to and owned by the United Methodist Church. The end came quickly. Demolition took only an hour and all that remained was a pile of rubble in the large hole which once held the building’s foundation. UMC’s church building at 848 Main Street, perhaps Antioch’s most famous authentic landmark, provides an idyllic view of archetypical small-town America when observed while walking or driving north up Main Street on a summer’s afternoon. The house to its north served as a sister structure to the church, best seen when traveling south on Main Street or when approaching from the east. Over the years, the house had become an unofficial village landmark. An imposing tower on its northeast corner, topped by a huge, dark-grey cupola, and a long, three-level stairway leading from Main Street to the front door were its most distinctive features. The structure’s sound-looking exterior belied a deteriorated interior, however. A private residence Contrary to what many think, UMC did not erect the building. It began life as a private residence. The house, – inside and out – reflected the Victorian-era life-
style of the time. “We are not certain, but the house is believed to have been built in 1889,” said church historian and former secretary Barb Goetzelman. “The bedrooms were very small and contained no closets. There were no electrical outlets on the second floor and existing ceiling fixtures did a poor job of illumination.” At the dawn of 20th-century Antioch, Main Street was little more than a wide dirt path known as Fox River Road. A 1907 Lake County atlas and plat book produced by Geo. A. Ogle & Co. shows the land on which the house sat as being owned by H. Bock. The Bock property at that time extended from present day Main Street on the east, south and west to include the current Senior Center and police department parking lots, and north to Gage Brothers Park. A small bridge appears on the map, crossing the Sequoit Creek on Fox River Road in front of the house, a necessity prior to the creek being covered from present-day Main St. on the west until it reaches the Brook Wetlands where it emerges from its subterranean, man-made cave. Whether it was Bock who built or owned the house is not known. Goetzelman said that many speculate the structure eventually transitioned into an apartment building or hotel. “When the church purchased the building, a set of keys was found in the house, which contained room numbers that would seem to support the idea it held rooms for rent at one time,” she said.
lage records are incomplete, during the 1920s it appears as if a Rev. Stanton occupied a house used as the UMC parsonage at what is now the northwest corner of Lake Street and Toft Avenue. That house was eventually purchased by a private party and moved to Holbeck Drive where it now exists in another reincarnation as a part of the Antioch Senior Center. A new parsonage was established on Parkway Avenue on the village’s north side. By the early 1960s, the UMC congregation flourished and the need to expand was felt. Sunday school classes had grown to the point where the only spot in the church building large enough to accommodate the students was in the church’s basement coal bin. The pastor at that time was Rev. Wallace Anderson. In 1962, he made the decision to purchase the house and accompanying property in order to erect an education wing onto the church building. As the church had the Parkway Avenue parsonage, the house at 842 Main Street was expendable. Plans were instituted to raze the building and to expand the church sanctuary to the north. Blueprints were drawn for the expansion but before any work could begin fate intervened. Rev. Anderson died at the age of 42. The church allowed Anderson’s widow, Luella, and their children to remain in the Parkway Avenue house until they could settle elsewhere. With a residence now required for Anderson’s successor, Rev. Donald Cobb, plans for the sanctuary expansion were put on hold. The house-turned-hotel at 842 Main Street had surChurch history vived its fate of demolition Though church and vil- and at the age of almost 75
years became the “new” UMC parsonage. Rev. Cobb and his successor, Rev. Steve Williams, were occupants of the building until 1985. It was then that newly appointed pastor, Rev. Darrell English, felt the time had come for a change of venue. With the 21st century about to dawn, the need to run extension cords from first-floor outlets in order to properly light the second floor proved a bit too much for Rev. English. He said he could not accept the appointment as pastor unless a new parsonage was found for his family and himself. English won and the family moved into a new parsonage several blocks north of the church leaving the parsonage next to the church vacant, but not for long. Different roles The building at 842 Main St. soon welcomed the Antioch Chamber of Com-
struck the building at 842 Main Street. Water pipes in the second-floor bathroom, buried within the walls, burst. Flooding followed. By the time it was over, the basement of the house held 18 inches of standing water. Even the first floor was submerged under two inches of water. It would be months before water inside the structure thawed and drained. This was eventually followed by the formation of mildew throughout making the building uninhabitable. Current pastor, Rev. Bill Landis, still carries a heavy heart when speaking of the damage he witnessed. “We were all devastated by the flooding. So much of the interior had been ruined. We set about to remove as many church records as we could salvage.” Estimates put repairs to
merce, which occupied the space from approximately 1986 to 1993, but not without first having to upgrade plumbing and electrical fixtures to bring them up to village code. Eventually, however, the lack of adequate parking and the wintertime challenge of the three-level stairway entrance from Main St. proved to be too much. The Chamber moved out and was replaced by UMC staff, which used the building, now called “the annex,” as their offices. When a later expansion to the church was completed, the offices were moved back into the church building and for the next few years, the annex was kept heated but used only for storage of church records. In early February 2014, Antioch, along with much of the nation, was experiencing one of its most extreme winters on record. Disaster

JUDE KAIDER Hi-Liter
The United Methodist Church’s former parsonage at 842 Main St., Antioch, Ill., next to the church, was razed recently. The house proved too small to comfortably house ministers and their families and had also fallen into a state of disrepair. Because costs of rehabilitating the structure were deemed to be prohibitive, the decision was made to demolish the two-story, brick structure.

interview. “It was my mom and me and we managed rental buildings. I learned how to deal amicably with all sorts of people. They really didn’t want to pay the rents I came to collect, but it had to be done.” He learned lessons from that life and his mom that he never forgot. “Sometimes a tenant would just leave and leave everything behind,” Somerville said. “After the proper amount of time, my mom would pack up the clothes and shoes and take it outside to the homeless people who lived on the nearby streets. She didn’t forget them.” The understanding of community and need to work together began early for Somerville. He started his law enforcement career at the Lake County jail during the transition from the old jail to the new, direct supervision jail. “Guards were in the pods with the inmates and we learned how to work with all kinds of people and keep control though positive interaction with them,” he explained. “We learned how to communicate verbally and treat them firmly yet fairly,” Somerville added. “That was an opportunity to not only learn how to deal successfully with all sorts of people, it was an opportunity to get to know

The township works in cooperation with the local Lions and Rotary clubs and with Dave Karczewski, of Piggly Wiggly, who works to get the best price to maximize the number of families served. Any leftover fresh food is given to Open Arms Mission. The township maintains a small emergency pantry with non-perishables. Those with an immediate emergency can receive some food from the township and a referral to Open Arms.

“Those squad cars are the office for the officers for long hours,” Somerville said. “We put our officers in them and members of the public ride in them, witnesses, community members and suspects. They need to be safe.” So equipment and cars became a line item on the budget and the leasing program began, providing safe and well-equipped vehicles without breaking the bank. The recent change to 12hour shifts is also a money-saver and it was a union request. The department estimates an annual savings of $500,000 while still leaving money in the budget for overtime required during emergencies. Taking ownership extended into the community. “When I first became chief, Jim Keim (village administrator) brought in a list of community complaints to me,” Somerville said. He called every community member who had made a complaint into his office to discuss his or her concerns. This group became the beginning of the thriving community watch program. The seeds of these ideas began long ago when Somerville was growing up in Chicago. “It was rough there,” Somerville recalled in a recent
GAIL PECKLER-DZIKI Hi-Liter
the criminal element in the area.” And Somerville had some tricks up his sleeve. “The people I worked with knew that if there was no trouble that week, I would bring in my boxing tapes on the weekend. That meant two to three hours on Saturday and Sunday of boxing.” “For the most part,” he said, “they self-supervised and there was no trouble.” Somerville heard about Antioch while working at the jail. Positions opened up in Antioch and Chicago at the same time and from all he heard, Antioch seemed the best choice for his career and family life. Somerville began on patrol in January 1992 and began working investigations and surveillance 18 months later. “I never had the chief position in my sights,” he said, “but the time was right to take it four years ago. And the time is right now to go.” While Village Board members told Somerville just how much the community had benefitted from his tenure, Somerville will tell you that its the other way around. And without cooperation from the Village Board, the community and other members of the department, what was accomplished while he was chief would have never happened.

Community briefs
At the Dec. 15 Village Board meeting, trustees voted to approve short-term budget cuts and expenditure reductions that may help bridge the shortfall until the public can vote on the referendum again on April 7. The budget reductions were made in order to ensure that the safety of residents remains a priority above other services, the release said. Immediate service and budget reductions approved include staff memberships and training expenses, police overtime, the closure of fire station No. 3 on Grass Lake Road, the Easter parade and egg hunt and senior services funded through the Village of Antioch general fund. Additional long-term budget reductions are scheduled to be considered at the Jan. 19, Village Board meeting. Proposed reductions include the limitation of Thursday concerts, various community events such as movies in the park and fireworks and the responsibility of outside agencies to fund their event expenses.

Local voters recently rejected a proposed referendum to increase property taxes in order to provide ambulance service. This “no” vote generated a projected $750,000 annual shortfall in the Village of Antioch budget, according to village officials. In the meantime, the Village Board has been searching for ways to fund ambulance services in the future and determine what levels of service are possible in this and other areas going forward. For the current fiscal year, capital expenses such as road improvements, water and sewer lines, vehicles and equipment were not made, according to a press release issued by the village. Instead those monies were used to fund ambulance services. This practice cannot continue into the future or our roads, utility lines and equipment will deteriorate rapidly, the release said. In order to continue to provide ambulance service and fund capital expenses, other budget and service reductions are needed, officials contend.

• Demolition the house in excess of six figures. The insurance company proved to be less than cooperative. The church alone was not able to finance the amount needed for repairs and the building could not remain in its condition because of village codes. Landis admitted, “The church was in no position to raise sufficient funds to properly clean and repair the damages the building suffered. Church members were kept apprised of developments but restoring the building became a less-practical option for us.” A difficult decision The decision was made to demolish the building but steps were taken to preserve its memory. “Photos

Some have already been incorporated into the church structures. Our custodian, Howard Geier, has been instrumental in both salvaging and removing pieces from the annex and in installing them inside of the church. He plans to utilize more of the items we saved in the near future.” The razing was originally set to take place July 1 but due to a backlog, the construction company was forced to push back the date of the demolition a number of times. Landis finally received a call from the construction company on Dec. 16, telling him the demoli-
tion would take place two days later. It did. The razing began at 8 a.m. and was completed by 9 a.m. The house at 842 Main Street, already a part of Antioch history, was now a part of Antioch’s memories, as well. Landis said plans for the land on which the house stood have not been finalized. “Though no final decision has been made as of now, we are thinking of a prayer garden or a gazebo or some other outdoor space open to all residents,” he said. The house managed to avoid its demolition on several occasions. Its time eventually ran out. While standing, it played many roles: family home, hotel,

Church officials discovered that the book had been presented to the United Methodist Church by the Ladies Aid Society on Dec. 24, 1890. “The Bible is huge and very heavy,” said Landis. He estimated its dimensions as 18 by 14 inches and three to four inches thick. “It must weigh 20 pounds and, though showing some wear, is in good condition,” he continued. On Christmas Eve, Landis used the Bible, as a part of the church Christmas service – 124 years to the day it was presented to the church

Leaving a legacy Though the building is gone, parts of it live on. Parishioners were invited to take bricks from the demolition site as remembrances. The house’s heavy window sills and other fixtures were preserved. The newel and
part of the handrail of the house’s oak stairway have already been installed in the church, to be viewed and touched by parishioners and visitors for years to come as they were viewed and touched by many others over the previous dozen decades. On the morning of the demolition and, ironically, the birthday of Charles Wesley in 1707, one of the major figures of the nascent Methodist movement, one of the crew members did a final inspection, a quick search for any items still inside the building that might’ve been overlooked. He found a large, leath-

• Time is now stable jobs and safe shelter have shared their gratitude with all of us. The disabled individuals who have been provided wheelchairs and handicap accessible vans are full of appreciation for the wonderful changes we have brought to their lives. Several cards this week came from senior citizens we helped last winter, when utility bills were high and they were struggling due to their health. Now they are thanking all of us for helping them to survive. I wish I could share every moment of assistance we together have provided this past year. It would be impossible to fit it all in this column. This past year, we have again helped more than 500 people with rent, shelter, utility assistance, food, toiletries, household necessities, wheelchairs, transportation assistance and much more.

Local expert offers tips on living a clutter-free life
By Heather Ruenz STAFF WRITER
A
quick search of “decluttering” on Google leads to a labor-intensive flood of information. Some of it is useful, but much of it takes what little bit of time many have. According to Kathi Miller, who speaks on the topic, clutter can be described as “items you don’t use or love, places that are untidy or disorganized, too much stuff in too small a space, or anything unfinished.” Clutter-free living is an essential skill for the 21st Century, said Miller – also known as “The Clutter Coach.” “It’s a way of thinking about and interacting with your belongings,” Miller states on her website. “Clutter can weigh you down and deplete your energy.” Miller points out that clutter, in addition to wreaking havoc on
our surroundings, can also cause physical symptoms. “Think of a clutter space… Just picture it for a moment,” Miller said. “Some report feeling a tightness in their chest, an ache in their stomach or tension in their shoulders. Wherever you feel it, realize your clutter affects you when you’re not even in the midst of it.” And, as Miller points out, “The good news and bad news is the same: you did this to yourself. Which means only you can clean it up. Yes, you may get some de-cluttering help, but it’s your behaviors and beliefs that created the clutter,” she said. “In order for people to live a clutter-free life,” Miller said, “they have to do two things – change their mind about their belongings and change their daily behavior with respect to those belongings.” Life lessons learned
Miller, who grew up in West Allis, said she was taught, “to never save anything.” “We were taught there were people less fortunate who could use what we weren’t using,” she explained. “It wasn’t as if we had a fancy lifestyle in West Allis, but it was true, there were people less fortunate. As we outgrew our clothes, they were given to someone in the neighborhood, someone from church, or to a local charity.” Moving six times, three of them long distance during her first 18 years of marriage, provided her with first-hand experience about the topic she now teaches. “We’d look at the boxes we hadn’t unpacked since the previous move and question how important that unused stuff could possibly be. We got very good at paring down,” Miller said. “We’ve lived in the same house since 1996, but we have fewer

~ Kathi Miller belongings today than when we moved in because we continue to pare down,” she added. “If we’re not using something and we don’t know when or how we’ll use it, we let it go,” she said. Making a difference Reviews of Miller’s past speaking engagements, as noted on her website, are positive in nature and offer examples of success. Linda Marcussen of the Kenosha Public Library, said “The ideas and
suggestions she (Miller) shares with the audience are sensible, practical and, most importantly, do-able. Members of the audience leave with plans that they can put into place the very next day.” Matheson Memorial Library in Elkhorn has hosted Miller a number of times. Angela Meyers, Adult Services Librarian at Matheson, said she has personally benefitted from Kathi’s talks and remembers a few key things from each presentation.
Julie Bjorklund, a registered nurse for Waukesha County, said Miller’s talk on Living Better with Less Without Feeling Deprived was “engaging, funny and informative. A simpler, clutter-free life provides peace of mind and less anxiety, which as mental health professionals, serves a profound need in everyone’s life.” Get inspired Miller speaks on several topics related to decluttering at a variety of venues. She is slated to present
“De-clutter Today for a Carefree Tomorrow” at the following locations. Though the venues have paid her fee, allowing the public to attend for free, pre-registration may be required so those interested in attending are asked to contact the host. • Alice Baker Library, 820 E.

20 ways to be more productive In an effort to help people get their “mind around managing” their time, www.productivity. com offers the following tips: 1) Labor over the important parts of a project – avoid fussing over the details until the main points and parts are down. Most of us don’t complete projects because we get bogged down in the weeds. 2) Say no – most things thrown at us are other people’s requests to meet their agendas. We don’t have to say yes. We don’t even have to answer.
then fool around and procrastinate. 11) Practice clearing the mind before working – write down the sad stuff, the angry stuff, the happy stuff, all of it. 12) Take naps – just less than 30 minutes will refresh us without sending us into deep sleep mode. 13) Plan breaks (or vacations) – actual breaks, instead of answering business calls or emails. Unplug.
14) Keep the distractions we love out of sight – place the phone somewhere other than near the workspace and log out of all social-media accounts before working. 15) Work on a team – in doing so, we can delegate priorities to people we trust to keep our time focused on things only we can do. 16) Keep the number of choices we make each day to a minimum. 17) Keep the same morning routine, even
on weekends. It’ll make waking up on Monday morning easier. 18) Think of time like money. Money comes in. Money goes out. And we have money left over. 19) Be self-centered. 20) Create artificial urgency – most of us set deadlines for when projects need to be done. When we get too close to the deadline, we can get desperate and finish off a product in poor quality. Or we quit. Create deadlines that are far ahead of time.

Teaching kids to de-clutter at a young age might be the key to a simple life for them down the road. Of course, adults who live in the home setting a good example is a sure-fire way to teach that lesson.
TIME PLANNER This free app combines scheduling and time tracking features for both work and personal activities. You can schedule a bike ride at 1 p.m., then be reminded to do it, then say if you’ve actually done it – all to keep yourself on track. Apple only.

MY MINUTES This free app focuses on goal setting. You aim to work out for 30 minutes, or spend “at most” 45 minutes on email. The app gives you a nudge when you’re out of time, or a virtual pat on the back when you hit your goals. Apple and Android.

FANURIO While primarily aimed at freelancers billing time to multiple projects (it creates invoices and expense reports – hence the price), Fanurio also lets you classify activities as non-billable, which much of our personal time turns out to be. This app nudges you to record time if you haven’t in a while. $59 for a license with free technical support for a year. Primarily for desktop (Mac OS, Windows and Linux).

8) Tackle small and large things in a day – by getting through the smaller tasks, we’ll feel like we accomplished something. That will give us the momentum to do the complicated things.
10) Get the “hard” work done as early in the day as possible – and

5) Keep commitments moving forward versus just staying busy.
9) Work on one thing at a time – multi-tasking is overrated. Studies by experts like Clifford Nass at Stanford University show that we are way less productive when jumping between our smartphones and our work.
Below is a list of 10 time-tracking smartphone and computer applications found on www.fastcompany.org.
RESCUETIME Running in the background on your computer or mobile device, the free version of RescueTime tracks minutes spent on various sites or applications. This is most useful if you think you have a bad email or Facebook habit, and would like to get it under control. The premium version ($9/month) lets you track time away from the computer, too, and block distracting websites after a desired amount of time. Apple, Android, and Desktop.
4) Ask people to expect accountability. It’s been proven having other humans remind us of what we said we’d do is the key to getting things done.
7) Write down the top priorities for the next day – keep it to a consistent number (top three or top five things.) Doing so demands that we look into the future. We’ll be at ease because we’ll know what we need to get done when the day begins.

3) Stay true to the vision. This may involve a constant visual display or a daily meeting with your colleagues or teammates.
6) Get up early and get a head start on the day. Early-morning hours are dim and quiet, perfect for clearing the mind, getting present, and taking care of us.

Health insurance enrollment event set Navigators from Enroll Lake County will be on hand at two January events to assist Lake County residents in selecting health insurance plans offered through the Health Insurance Marketplace and Medicaid. On Thursday, Jan. 15, bilingual navigators will be available from 4 to 8 p.m. at Village Elementary School, 880 Nippersink Road in Round Lake. On Monday, Jan. 19, the Family First Center of Lake County will host an event tied into Martin Luther King Day at the Jesus Name Apostolic Church, 150 S. Genesee Street in Waukegan. Enroll Lake County navigators will be on-site to help residents look at their coverage options and apply for health coverage from noon until 6 p.m. Walk-ins are welcome at these events, but appointments are encouraged. To schedule an appointment, call (847) 377-4999. The navigators’ services are free of charge. Enroll Lake County was launched by the
Lake County Health Department and local partners in 2013. Its focus is educating and enrolling local residents in Medicaid and Health Insurance Marketplace plans. The Marketplace enrollment period will close on Feb. 15. People can apply for Medicaid yearround. Whether an individual is low income, without a job, working part-time, had insurance but lost it, had a life change that changes his or her financial situation, has insurance but wants to see if there is something more affordable, navigators can help. Most uninsured Illinois residents can qualify for financial assistance to help lower their cost for insurance. People with questions should contact the Enroll Lake County office at (847) 377-4999 or the Get Covered Illinois Help Desk toll free from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. seven days a week at (866) 311-1119, or visit www.EnrollLakeCounty.com.

The appointment was made by Governor Pat Quinn earlier this month. The Council on Responsible Fatherhood is a state commission established by the state legislature to promote the positive involvement of both parents in the lives of their children. According to a press release announcing the appointment, numerous studies indicate that children in father-absent homes are more likely to grow up to experience educational, emotional and behavioral problems, use
drugs, and enhance criminal behavior. In Illinois, officials estimate that 1.1 million children grow up without their fathers present at home. The council continues to work to significantly increase the proportion of children growing up with an involved and responsible father and/ or responsible father figure/ mentor in the state of Illinois. “Judge Ortiz is an excellent choice to join the other members of the Council,” said Chief Judge John Phillips. “Judge Ortiz has served in the Family Division of the 19th Judicial Circuit Court of Lake County for six years, where he served as Presiding Judge from 2008 to 2010. He
has been recognized nationally and statewide as an authority for his work on child support issues and policies and has authored several articles. He has lectured on child support and family law topics for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the Office of Child Support Enforcement, Loyola University School of Law and several other organizations. In October, he was awarded the inaugural Outstanding Jurist of the Year Award by the Illinois Family Support Enforcement Association.” Judge Ortiz currently serves as Presiding Judge of the Civil Division of the 19th Judicial Circuit.

Residents warned to do homework before signing contract Every year the number one resolution made by individuals is to get in shape. That’s a boon for health clubs but can be a boondoggle for those who choose to join. In the past two years, national complaints have grown 20 percent, topping 8,000 last year alone. The complaints range from billing and collection issues to overall unhappiness with the contract. “The number of complaints filed show that the negative issues that surround gym memberships show no sign of change,” said Steve J. Bernas, president and CEO of the Better Business Bureau serving Chicago and northern Illinois. “Picking the best gym or fitness center for your personal interests can be a difficult choice, so check each one’s rating on the BBB website. It’s important to do careful research before making a final decision and signing on the dotted line.” Five questions to ask the gym: 1. What are the terms of any introductory offers? Gyms often use special introductory offers to lure in new members. Make sure you understand the terms and what the price will be once the introductory period is over.
2. Will my membership renew automatically? Many times people who join a gym don’t realize that their contract renews automatically and that they would have to take specific steps to cancel their contract. 3. How can I get out of my contract? Getting out of a gym contract isn’t always as easy as getting into one, so make sure you understand what steps you would need to take to cancel your membership. 4. What happens if I move? Gyms have any number of different policies when it comes to how moving will affect your membership. It might depend on how far away you’re moving and if they have other locations nearby. 5. What happens if the gym goes out of business? Ask the gym to explain what will happen to your money if they suddenly close down. Five questions to ask yourself when looking at potential gyms/health clubs: 1. What are my fitness goals? Determining your fitness goals in advance will help you select a facility that is most appropriate for you. If you have a serious health condition, consult with a
medical professional when setting your fitness goals. 2. Is this location convenient? If the gym is across town, you’ll be less likely to work out. Choose a fitness club that is convenient to work or home so the location is not a deterrent to getting exercise. 3. Can I really afford this every month? Monthly gym fees add up and, after any introductory periods are over, the price could jump higher than your budget can handle. Do the math before you join and make sure you can afford a gym membership. 4. Am I feeling pressured to join? Do not give in to high-pressure sales tactics to join right away. A reputable gym will give you enough time to read the contract thoroughly, tour the facilities, and make an informed decision. 5. Did I get everything in writing? Read the contract carefully and make sure that all verbal promises made by the salesperson are in writing. What matters is the document you sign, so don’t just take a salesperson’s word for it.
