Positive Financial OutlookBy RICHARD MAYER Reserves Strong -- If State Doesn't InterveneAssistant Managing Editor

Things are looking up finan-cially for Mount Prospect, aslong as the state does not keepa portion of local income taxsharing revenue or implementa property tax freeze.

That was the message pre-sented by Finance DirectorDavid Erb to village trusteesand members of the financecommission during a workshopat village hall April 26.

Strong End To 2015

The village ended 2015 witha surplus of $4.4 million inits General Fund (day-to-dayoperations), largely due togrowth in sales tax revenueand unanticipated additionalincome and real estate transfertaxes from the state.

Income tax receipts camein $563,000 over what was

originally anticipated, as wellas $572,000 for real estatetransfer taxes, $1.56 millionin sales tax and $483,000 intelecommunications tax.

The increase in real estatetransfer taxes was largely dueto the sale of a large number ofmulti -unit properties.

According to Erb, each yearhe conservatively projects a 3%increase in sales tax revenues.

In 2015, the village saw a12.9% hike in revenue.

Additionally, village depart-ments were under budget by atotal of $2 million.

The $4.4 million surplus, Erbsaid, equated total year savingsby the departments at 4.2%.

As a result, the village's fundbalance or reserves as of Dec.31,2015 stood at $16.9 million,or 33.7% of total expenditures,

$4.3 million above the 25%benchmark.

The village's policy levelranges from 20%-30% inreserves in a given year. Asreported in last Friday's (April29) Mount Prospect Journal,the village board in the com-ing months will determinewhether to keep those funds onhand should the state withholdincome revenue, or decide ifany of those extra funds shouldbe used for capital projects, or

Runway Proposal Concerns DPBy TODD WESSELLJournal & Topics Editor

"It will be a tough roadagainst us," said Des PlainesAld. Malcolm Chester (6th)on Monday. "The stakes areagainst us."

Chester will be one of asmany as 52 suburban membersof the O'Hare Noise Compat-ibility Commission (ONCC)who are expected to vote thisFriday on a proposal to allowadditional aircraft to land on aseldom -used O'Hare Airportrunway. If that is permitted,it would likely have a majornegative effect on some DesPlaines residents.

And while the effect wouldbe felt by some south and eastside Des Plaines homeowners,it would lessen the noise burdenexperienced by some residentsof Park Ridge and five wardsin northwest Chicago.

Chicago Wants To Ease Congestion East Of O'Hare

According to Ald. Chester,the proposal, spearheaded bythe city of Chicago, would al-low aircraft to land on O'Harerunway 22 -Right during threenon-consecutive weeks during12 -week cycles between 11p.m. and 7 a.m. Currently, al-most all airplanes landing dur-ing those hours arrive at O'Hareon different parallel east -westrunways to the south. Runway22 -Right brings aircraft in fromthe northeast over Des Plainesneighborhoods in the 6th, 1stand 2d ward as well as overAllstate Arena in Rosemont.

Normally, between 60 and80 airplanes land and take -offdaily at O'Hare between 11p.m. and 7 p.m. If the proposalis approved, it's believed that asmany as 40 planes will land atO'Hare using 22 -Right.

The unidentified man is described as blackor Middle Eastern, in his 40s with dark brown eyes, dark browncomplexion, between 5 -ft., 10 -in. and 6 -ft. tall, weighing between190 and 210 lbs. The man also reportedly had a birthmark orblemish above his eyebrow and was wearing a Kangol type hatand a tan trench coat.

Chester said that Chicagowants the change to providenoise and nighttime lightingrelief to residents who liveunder the glide path east ofO'Hare. If that's done, it willtransfer much of that air trafficthat will negatively affect someDes Plaines residents.

"I'll talk against it at Friday'smeeting," said Chester. Headded that the proposal failedby one vote at April's noisecommission meeting at theCafe La Cave banquet hall inDes Plaines. Friday's meetingbegins at 8 a.m. and the publicis invited.

"I have to vote against it. Chi-cago can't unilaterally changeit," said Chester explainingthat the noise commission mustprovide input that the FAA willconsider when making the final

decision.Chester furtherexplained that

if approval is granted to makethe change, Runway 22 -Rightwill be designated a "primaryrunway" which would permitlandings during those night-time hours seven nights a weekduring three non-consecutiveweeks. For three other weeks

during the 12 -week cycle, itwould be tagged a "secondaryrunway" meaning weatherconditions would play a majorrole in its use.

"This will wake people upat night," remarked Chester,explaining that the possibleincrease in plane noise andplanes' lights will affect DesPlaines residents who live westof Lee -Mannheim Road andnorth of Touhy Avenue.

By ANNE LUNDEJournal & Topics Reporter

Jeffrey R. Komada, 54, whoheaded the Technology Ser-vices support department forChicago's Taft High School,died on Saturday, April 30after a multi -vehicle crash onthe Tri-State Tollway (I-294)in Des Plaines.

A memorial visitation isplanned for 3 to 9 p.m. Friday,May 6, at Severino's RiverWoods Funeral Chapels, 205S. River Rd., Des Plaines. Hisfuneral mass will be held at11:30 a.m. Saturday, May 7,at St. Emily Catholic Church,1400 Central Rd., Mount Pros-pect. Burial will be at MaryhillCemetery, Niles.

At Taft, 6530 W. Bryn MawrAve., the entire school pausedfor a moment of silence onMonday morning, May 2, andPrincipal Mark Grishaber ar-ranged for faculty to meet pri-vately after school to rememberKomada.

Illinois State Police Dist. 15reported that the chain of eventsoccurred about 10:08 a.m. thatrainy Saturday morning in thesouthbound Lane 4 near Mile-post 41 near Touhy.

A 1999 Ford Windstar mini-van, driven by an Evanstonman, 32, had stalled in traffic.Police said that Komada's blueHonda CR-V hit the back of themini -van.

A Volkswagen, occupied bya Northbrook woman, 38, anda child, then rear -ended Ko-mada's vehicle. He had gotten

Budget(Continued from page 1A)to hold the line on propertytaxes.

So Far In 2016

Through the first fewmonths of 2016, the villageanticipates a $1.54 millionsurplus in its General Fundby the end of this year.

Revenues are expected at$51.4 million while expendi-tures are anticipated to comein at $49.9 million. Shouldthese projections hold true,the village's reserve levelwould stand at $18.2 millionor 35.5% of total expendi-tures by the end of this year($5.3 million above the 25%benchmark village officialsstrive for each year).

Tax Levy

Also reported in last Fri-day's Mount Prospect Jour-nal, a 3.27% village propertytax levy increase for 2016,paid by taxpayers next year,was initially discussed April26 and will be voted on by thevillage board this December.Erb said the average tax levyincrease over the last fiveyears has been around 4%.Since 2010, the village hasseen an increase each yearin property tax revenue rang-ing from about $15 millionin 2010 to over $18 millionthis year.

The village is expectedto receive approximately$18.9 million in property taxrevenue next year should the3.27% be approved at the endof this year.

However, staff and trusteesare looking at various waysto keep taxes at a manageablerate since police and fire pen-sions costs have skyrocketedin the past year. In order tokeep funding those pensions,the village is looking at us-ing reserves to keep propertytaxes down over the nextfour years.

Looking Ahead

By the close of 2017, thevillage, assuming there are noreductions in state collectedrevenues, is projecting a sur-plus in the General Fund of$1.68 million. Should thosenumbers remain accurate,the village's fund balanceor reserves would reach$18.7 million, or 35.7% oftotal expenditures. Thosenumbers would equate to$5.6 million above the 25%benchmark.

both Wheeling and Mainetownships, but David Knappnoted that other patients arecoming from as far away asthe Wisconsin border.

"It's been great since weopened," he said. "We haveseen a lot of patients whotruly have benefited from theprogram here."

David Knapp said manypatients share similar stories,but in one case in particular, anindividual was taking seven dif-ferent types of medication priorto coming into the dispensary.Now that individual is down toone since using cannabis.

"Those are consistent storiesacross the board," he said.

The Knapp's serve between80-100 patients with a rangein age from people in their 20sto well into their 80s. He saidmany of the individuals he seeson a daily basis suffer fromthings such as epilepsy, cancerand other terminal diseases.

"It really makes you feelgood to know what you aredoing is creating a positiveoutcome because of this pro-gram," he said.

Products sold at New Ageinclude marijuana buds that canbe smoked, edibles, lotions andmore. Those who have neversmoked or inhaled marijuanabefore opt for oils or ediblesinstead.

According to Knapp, the

shop has not faced any majorhurdles since opening.

"It's a highly regulated in-dustry and the laws have notchanged," he said.

Knapp said the Drug Enforce-ment Administration (DEA) inJuly is expected to announcewhether or not it will resched-ule, or reclassify, marijuana.Such a move could pave wayfor dispensaries and cultivationcenters to work with banks socredit cards can be used forfuture transactions. Currently,cash is the only method of pay-ment at dispensaries.

"This would be better foreveryone and we can then op-erate as any other business,"he said.

Moving forward, Knapp isnot sure how many additionalpatients he may be assigned.Approximately 5,500 individu-als carry a medical marijuanacard issued by the state.

"I am very optimistic," hesaid. "I have seen nothing butgood come out of this programso far."

After getting to know manyof his patients over the last sixmonths, Knapp refers to themas part of his family.

New Age Care has kept itshours of operation consistentfrom the beginning, open topatients approximately 35hours per week and closed onSundays.

Starbucks ToMove Soon?Zoning Board RecommendsApproval Of New Building


Starbucks' plans to builda new coffee shop on RandRoad in Mount Prospect areone step closer to reality.

Planning & Zoning com-missioners Thursday, April28 recommended approvalof Starbucks' move out ofthe Randhurst Crossing stripcenter to a 2,000 sq. ft. free-standing building, with adrive -through, where the 324sq. ft. Xpresso coffeehouseoperated until about a yearago.

The biggest issue com-missioners had, accordingto Director of CommunityDevelopment Bill Cooney,was with stacking of cars inthe drive -through lane as wellas flow of traffic.

Customers would enter andexit off Rand (U.S. Route12).

The proposed site shares anaccess drive with NorthwestCommunity Hospital.

Representatives from thehospital attended the Planning& Zoning meeting to expresstheir concerns about motoristscutting through the parkinglot between Kensington andRand roads.

Cooney said village staffwould meet with Starbucks aswell as the hospital to addressthose concerns.

According to Cooney, vil-lage staff is not concernedabout an overflow of cars fromthe drive -through tricklingonto Rand Road since ninecars can fit at one time in thedrive -through.

That number would need to

double to see any congestionoccur on Rand.

Village trustees expect tohear this proposal at theirMay 17 regular village boardmeeting.

Should plans be approved,Cooney said he would antici-pate the Xpresso stand to bedemolished shortly thereafter

Therewere no other witnesses to thealtercation, police said. Thealleged offender, a 64 -year -oldChicago man, told police theydid have a verbal disagreementover the closed gate, but saidhe never made any physicalcontact with the complainant.Police determined there was

no probable cause for a batterycomplaint against the allegedoffender, but told him he wasbanned from the park.

Resident Has Point On Metro Square PlansA good point was made at

Monday night's Des PlainesCity Council meeting by thepresident of a Des Plainescondominium associationlocated just stepsfrom downtown'sMetropolitanSquare.

Ron Moore sug-gested that the citygive more thoughtto its planning forimprovements tothe retail -officecenter located northof Miner Streetstores between Leeand Pearson streets.He also suggestedthat the city hireother consultantsfor this and futureprojects and notthrow all its eggs into onebasket.

City council membersMonday night began theirpublic discussion on revital-izing Metropolitan Square,in particular its central plaza,in an effort to attract moreshoppers and families. Whiledesign concepts providedto city leaders by consult-ing firm The Lakota Groupwere attractive and creative,Moore said something seems

lacking. He had a point.Lakota's plans were nice.

But they seemed somewhatbland. Moore's input sug-gested that something more

exciting and imagina-tive is needed. Ex-actly what, he didn'tsay. That, however,is what consultantsdo. Moore asked thatadditional propos-als be solicited andconsidered.

As City ManagerMike Bartholomewpointed out yesterday(Tuesday), there'sjust so much moneythat can be spent onthis project. Whilehis point has strongmerit, no one wantsto make the same

mistake made in the 1970swith the construction of thedowntown Herbert Behrelparking garage or later the in-famous "tombstones" placedat the northwest corner ofMiner Street and River Road.A deafening public outcryeventually forced the removalof both.

Has Receipts To Prove Property TaxesEditor, Journal:

I don't usually worry about things thatpeople say in Speak Out, but this last weeksome coward and totally uninformed personsaid some outright lies and I want to callthem on it.

This moron of a person said that MikeLake has no right to speak out about the citybecause he pays no property taxes. Let meset the record straight right here and now.We have lived in Des Plaines for 30 yearsand have paid our property taxes every year-- on time -- and without a single complaint.That amounted to $83,679.99 paid to ourschools (to which I have had no childrenattend), city library, pensions, Maine Town-ship and the list goes on. I have the receiptsto prove it, and that includes this year's firstinstallment. For this ignorant person to saythat because Mike is a disabled veteran andmake up this lie is beyond contempt. To thisperson I say, how about you refunding the

$84,000 to us, then you can say all you want.The second thing I would like to bring at-

tention to is that Mike spent four years of hislife in service to his country and this personwas probably one who avoided the draft and/or did nothing to help our country by servingin the armed forces. I say that all veteranshave the right to speak up and be heard.They were the ones who protected us and thefreedoms you enjoy.

Even if it was true that any veteran mayreceive some discount or break in taxes,don't you think that they have earned it iffor their service in protecting you? Manyhave suffered disabilities, been poisoned bytheir own government (Agent Orange), andworse. All veterans should receive somethank you, instead of your drivel and liesbecause you don't like what they might haveto say.

Wouldn't it be nice to driveinto downtown Des Plainesgoing west on NorthwestHighway and glance to theleft to see a beautiful muralpainted on the huge AT&Tbuilding?

Check it out, mayor

To the mayor of Niles. Soyou and the trustees of Nileswant to raise the gas tax.How about charging a ridefee on those who use the socalled Niles Free Bus, to helpto ease our car users. Afterall, the buses are heavy andruin our streets from Milwau-kee & Maryland to Lyons.The street is falling awayfrom the curbs. Mayor, whynot take a tour of Niles.

Why do cops get to beon phone?

I just stopped by the DesPlaines Police Departmentbecause I have seen twopolice officers on their cellphones while driving. I wastold they are allowed tobecause sometimes their bossmight call them and it doesn'tgo over the radio. Does thatmean if my boss calls me, Iwon't get a ticket?

Park Ridge shouldhonor Clinton

I moved to Park Ridge lastyear and couldn't be happierwith my new home. Thereis just so much to love. Ipurposefully bought a homein the Field School districtbecause I wanted my chil-dren to benefit from the sameprogressive education thatproduced the best Ameri-can that has ever been born.Wife, mother, grandmother,Secretary of State, First Lady,senator and overall beauti-ful woman Hillary Clintonrepresents the best that canbe achieved in one lifetime.Her halo of social justiceand fairness in governmentare a beacon that leaders ofboth parties would be well -served to follow. Despitebitter partisanship and plenty

of below -the -belt politi-cal maneuvering, Hillaryhas managed to emerge asa powerful and influentialforce for good in the world. Iam thrilled to count myself assomeone who shares a smallfragment of her legacy andencourage the town of ParkRidge to honor her in someway. Perhaps a park, schoolor street could be renamed inher honor?

Park needs noise wall

While sitting at West Parktrying to watch my grand-son's baseball game, I realizejust home many trains go thruour town. It makes it hard tohear what is going on in thegame. When they redid WestPark, which I will admit isnice, they should have put upa wall to block out the trains.

Irked

Pet peeve: When parkingon a residential street, whydo you have to park in themiddle of two driveways?This just irked the heck outof me. Also, when droppingpaper or plastic bottles, pickthem up and throw in thetrash. Thank you.

Give back surplus, MP

The Journal's headline"What To Do With $4.4M?"(April 29 Mount ProspectJournal) refers to MP'ssurplus, which tells me twothings. First, we are over-taxed. Second, the powersthat be are dreaming of waysto waste the money. Here'san idea: Give it back to thosewho earned it. Instead ofwasting money on studies,surveys, over -blown pen-sions, exercise palaces for thevillage employee people andcars for the ruling elite, justgive it back to us. Anybodycan spend money. For oncedo the right thing, but I won'tmy breathe.

Says get used to cars

Beware, Prospect Heights.I live near The Bridge churchin Des Plaines and blockeddriveways and cars parked on

side streets are a way of lifeon Sunday.

Quit complaining

We have plenty that's verynice between Lee/Mannheim,north of Miner Street, peoplethat keep saying otherwiseare not very nice to say theleast. So go to the new placeswhen they are built and juststop complaining. Also youare welcome to buy me abrand new house someplacebecause my house is also inthat area walking distance.Then I would decide whetherit is a "good move" or not.

At least not polluting

My lawn may not look asnice as others, but at least I'mnot polluting our streams,poisoning pets/childrenor killing pollinators withchemicals.

Limited space in Square

For the past two years orso the city of Des Plaineshas ripped up the sidewalksdowntown to improve thelooks of the city. The samewas done to the pavers inMetropolitan Square. I'll letyou decide. Did that improvethe traffic or business envi-ronment? Now the city wantsto spend millions of dollarsto provide a new look toMetropolitan Square. Metro-politan Square has a limitedamount of space. Moving thepawns around isn't going todo much other than keepingthe city employees employedand enriching the pockets ofLakota Group.

Amazed by photo

Wowie zowie. The photothat appeared on the frontpage of the Des PlainesJournal on April 29 is by farand away the best front pagephoto ever in the history ofChicago area newspapers.I stared in utter amazementand joy at the surreal imageof an overly affectionate cowwith man -hands nuzzling aT-rex, who just happens to besitting on someone wearingkhaki shorts, while a man

in a Pecos Bill hat holds upa copy of the Des PlainesJournal. As a bonus, we gotthe DP Police Station andCity Hall as a backdrop. Iwas so thrilled with this gemof a photo that I ignored thedescription because I didn'twant an explanation to spoilit. So the Journal officiallywins my, "I Didn't ThinkAnything Could Surprise MeAnymore Now That DonaldTrump Is Running For Presi-dent -- But You Did", award.

Trusts governmentto clear up

While I believe in totaltransparency in local govern-ment, I understand why theofficials in Mount Prospecthave not made public state-ments about the terminationof Assistant Village ManagerDavid Strahl. Until they havecome to some agreementwith the former employee, itwould be premature to com-ment on his dismissal. Whenthe time comes, all will bemade clear.

People dependon O'Hare

Please stop complainingabout O'Hare noise, it's get-ting old. O'Hare has probablybeen here longer than manyof you. Did you not hear orsee the planes -when you werelooking at a home or apart-ment? Do you know howmany Des Plaines residentssupport their families andour town working at O'Hare?Yes, if you're out in the yardvisiting with neighbors anda plane goes over it's noisy,but you stop your conversa-tion for a moment. In spiteof the noise, Des Plaines isa great place to live and formany residents if they didn'thear that noise they wouldn'tbe able to pay their bills andfeed their families. If thenoise bothers you that much,perhaps you should thinkabout relocating.

Veterans pay

Since when do disabledveterans not pay propertytax? First I heard of it. I ama disabled veteran. I havepaid my property taxes in thistown since moving here in1996. Over $79,000 worth. Ihave the check stubs to proveit. I have been disabled sinceNam. If I wasn't supposed topay, I want my money back.

Why doesthe village continue to issuesettlements without beingobligated to inform the resi-dents that have to pay for it?This village board is not tobe trusted, how the heck didthey get voted in?

Oakton Walks Away With Crazy WmBy DION MARTORANOJournal & Topics Sports

Just when you thought you had seen it all, OaktonCommunity College and Morton College combinedfor a game like no other on Monday, May 2 in DesPlaines.

Oakton won 23-22, but it was how they won thatwill blow your mind. The Owls recorded just 2 hits,yes, 2 hits. Morton banged out 19 hits, for a grandtotal of 17 more than Oakton, yet the Owls scoredmore runs.

You're probably wondering, how does a team score23 runs on just 2 hits?

The answer is simple: walks...lots and lots ofwalks.

Oakton was walked an astronomical 34 (thirty-four) times in the game and struck out just twice asa team.

Morton freshman pitcher Jaycie Caldwell tosseda complete game and threw an unbelievable 230pitches in the loss. Oakton pitcher Atorena Michaelwas dinged for 22 runs (16 earned) in her 7 inningsand threw 178 pitches. Between the two teams, 408pitches were thrown.

The game lasted 2 hours, 50 minutes.The game was mercifully put to an end when

Caldwell walked Oakton's Emily Bernath with the

bases loaded to score Tarrah Joseph to give the Owlsthe comeback win.

Morton led 22-20 entering the bottom of the seventhand Oakton scored 3 runs, 2 of which were with 2outs, to win. Oakton improved to 4-30 this season.

Oakton stats: Emily Bernath (0 -for -4, 3 RBI, 3 runs,3 BB), Brittney Brooks (0 -for -2, 1 RBI, 3 runs, 4 BB),Atorena Michael (0 -for -1, 3 RBI, 2 runs, 3 stolenbases, 5 BB), Becky Bartnicki (2 -for -2, 1 triple, 1

double, 6 RBI, I run, 2 BB), Doris Garcia (0 -for -4,2 runs, 2 BB), Sabrina Farris (0 -for -0, 5 runs, 1 RBI,6 BB), Tarrah Joseph (0 -for -3, 1 RBI, 3 runs, 3 BB),Vanessa Murrillo (0 -for -1, 2 RBI, 2 runs, 5 BB) andRose Vallafania (0 -for -2, 5 RBI, 2 runs, 4 BB)

Niles Mayor Andrew Przy-bylo and members of the NilesChamber of Commerce helpedJoe Dadivas and a large groupof children cut the ribbon onBot Spot Robotics, a newfacility that not only sells kitsto build robots, but conductsafternoon and weekend work-shops and summer camps onrobotics for kids.

Little do some of the kidsknow, they are also learningadvanced science, technology,engineering and mathematics(STEM) skills along the way.

The business was inspired byowner Dadivas' children whostarted getting into robotics.

"After a few weeks, some-thing flipped, like a switch intheir brains," Dadivas said. His12 -year -old son Jaeren, who

Wheeling

Apartment Upgrades Get TIF FundsA redevelopment agreement

for Wheeling's Arbor Courtapartment complex was ap-proved by village trustees April25, pushing $600,000 in plannedimprovements closer to reality.

Trustees earlier this year, ona 5-2 vote, approved $300,000in tax increment financing (TIF)for Arbor Court. The apartments'owners, Neder Capital, LLC,will fund the other $300,000in costs.

Property taxes collected in

TIF districts are designed to gotoward improvement projects inthat particular area, in hopes ofraising property values. ArborCourt is located in Wheeling'sCrossroads TIF district, whichexpires in three years.

Trustees Joe Vito and DaveVogel opposed approval of theTIF funds and redevelopmentagreement. In January, Vogelargued that the village would notget any return on its investment.However, other trustees, such as

Mary Krueger, Ray Lang andVillage President Dean Argiris,argued that the complex's promi-nent location and visibility makethe project worthwhile.

Arbor Court is located near theintersection ofWheeling Avenueand Dundee Road, just west ofDundee and Milwaukee Avenue.It is passed by many motorists ontheir way into the village.

In 2015, the board denied Ar-bor Court owners a request for$700,000 in TIF funding.

Improvements to be includedin the project are parking lotexpansion, storm sewers, newrailings and new windows.

Neder Capital must take de-signs for the improvements tothe plan commision and obtainmajor site plan and appearancemodification approval from thevillage board among the nextsteps in the project, according toDirector of Economic Develop-ment John Melaniphy.

to back up what he was seeingin his own children.

What Dadivas said he didnot find were enough roboticsprograms at the middle schoollevel.

Seeking to change that dy-namic, Dadivas opened his'business at 7752 N. MilwaukeeAve. in September. Last week,the business held its grandopening. Programs have grownfrom a middle school base toelementary school and highschool students. Dadivas saidthe Boy Scouts now even offera badge for technical merit.

Students work at differentlevels, needing to accomplishdifferent tasks before movingup to the next level.

Bot Spot Robotics, or BotSpot for short, offers after -

school workshops from 4 to 6p.m. and Saturdays from noonto 2 p.m. and will soon offersummer camp programs.

Dadivas said building robotsbrings applied learning to stu-dents. He said students see andapply the real applications ofunderstanding things, like themeasurement of circumfer-ence, before ever seeing themathematical geometry equa-tion on paper. He said oncestudents do see that equation,given their level of understand-ing, they have a much bettergrasp of the mathematicalconcept.

An East Maine ElementarySchool Dist. 63 internal staffcommittee of teachers, admin-istrators and at least one schoolboard member are looking atSTEM education in the district.Dist. 63 spokeswoman JanetSpector -Bishop said Dadivassits on that committee.

Village Refills On Red CaffeineBy TOM ROBBJournal & Topics Reporter

Elk Grove Village trusteesapproved renewal of a $150,612contract with Lombard -basedmarketing company Red Caf-feine to continue the village's"Beyond Business Friendly"marketing campaign for thenext fiscal year.

The village keeps two con-tracts with Red Caffeine: the$150,612 deal and anothersigned in January for $460,000for Elk Grove's "Makers

150K Contract With Marketing Company Shows Results

Wanted" advertising campaign.The village has been workingwith Red Caffeine since 2011when the company went by thename Desert Rose.

The new contract, approvedApril 26, was reduced from lastyear's $220,000 contract, ElkGrove Village Marketing andEconomic Development Direc-tor Josh Grodzin said.

Although both are used tomarket the Elk Grove Busi-

ness Park, the Makers Wantedcampaign is intended more foradvertising through television,billboards and print.

Red Caffeine's marketingefforts in the Beyond BusinessFriendly campaign includemaintaining and updating thevillage's bizhub.com website,producing graphics, design-ing and setting up tradeshowbooths, mounting the "Made InElk Grove" expo last year and

Park Ridge

Hair Salon Adds Finishing Touches

A new awning announces that Cosi Bella Hair Salonis open at 59 Summit Ave., Park Ridge.

One of the newer shops on the block in UptownPark Ridge is Cosi Bella Hair Design, 59 SummitAve., but owner Lucia DeBartolo comes to ParkRidge with plenty of experience.

DeBartolo has been doing hair since 1981 whenshe had a salon in downtown Des Plaines for about13 years. She also teaches twice a week at theCollege of DuPage Cosmology Center.

Her latest venture opened in 2015, but thefinishing touches, including a new canopy, arerecent additions. Also new are staff membersDespina, Geri, Joanie and Larissa.

The shop offers a full range of hair services fromcoloring, perming, cutting, Kerotin treatments andextensions, geared for a variety of ages.

Services are available Tuesday afternoons,Wednesdays and Fridays mornings and after-noons, Thursdays mornings to 7 p.m. and Sat-urdays from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.

producing a newsletter.Grodzin said Red Caffeine

would also help with a new au-dio podcast available throughthe BizHub website or throughiTunes called the "StrictlyBusiness" podcast.

The podcast is an extensionof the village's program on ElkGrove Television Channel 6and its associated website, alsocalled Strictly Business.

Both programs conduct in-terviews with business leadersand profile interesting localbusinesses.

Grodzin said the village hasseen positive indications thesemarketing efforts are bearingfruit. The most important ofindicators is the vacancy rate inthe 60 million sq. ft. businesspark, which fell to a historicallylow 4.8% in the first quarterof 2016.

Another anecdotal indicator

is feedback garnered as peoplehear about the business parkand many of its successes.

Grodzin said a community inMichigan recently heard aboutthe Made In Elk Grove Expoand called to get advice abouthow to mount a similar eventof their own.

Red Caffeine Public Rela-tions Director Bunny Mirrileessaid she recently read an articlein a Rockford -based newspaperasking why Rockford is notmarketing its business park asaggressively as Elk Grove.

Grodzin and Mirrilees bothpointed to a new business in-cubator started in Elk Groveshowing the village's trueinternational reach. They saidthe government of Turkeyworked with a Turkish man inthe United States for 16 years tostart a small business incubatorin a building in the 2900 blockof Lively Boulevard aimed athelping Turkish companiesbreak into the U.S. market.

This Way To Wealth

Social Security Planning After 'File, Suspend' ChangesBy TERRANCE R.GAERTNER

After April 29, 2016, in-dividuals who have reachedfull retirement age, cur-rently age 66, who decide tofile and then suspend theirbenefits will be forced tosuspend all related spousaland dependent child benefitsas well. This is a signifi-:cant change to the law thatwill affect many of us, butthere are still ways that youcan plan to maximize yourfamily's Social Securitybenefits.

Prior to this change, in-dividuals who had reachedfull retirement age couldfile and then suspend theirown retirement benefitswhich could potentiallytrigger spousal benefits and/or dependent child benefits.Now, while you still can fileand suspend, you also mustsuspend all spousal benefitsand any dependent childbenefits. In other words, ifyou suspend your benefits,no one else can claim abenefit based on your workrecord.

It should be noted thatif you've already filed andsuspended prior to April 29,2016, you're okay as your

situation will be grandfa-thered under the old rulesand your spouse will con-tinue collecting Social Se-curity spousal benefits and,if applicable, your childrenwill continue to receive theirdependent child benefitsuntil they're out of highschool.

Also, you will have theoption of changing yourmind and receiving a retro-active lump -sum benefit toany point on or after yoursuspension date. The chang-es disallowing this strategytake effect for anybody whofiles and suspends afterApril 29, 2016. We talkedabout this in an earlierarticle.

So why did Social Se-curity change the rules?It's because the old fileand suspend rules createda loophole that was neverreally intended by the SocialSecurity administration. Italso has something to dowith the fact that SocialSecurity is running out ofmoney and any perceivedloophole needs to be closed.

The original intent of thefile and suspend strategywill remain. It was intendedfor someone who filed forbenefits when they retired

and then later return to theworkforce and wanted tosuspend their Social Securi-ty benefits until they retiredagain later. You will stillbe able to do that under thenew rules.

There appears to be verylittle impact for survivingspouses. They will still havethe option to file a restrictedapplication to receive thesurvivor benefit, or theirown benefit, while lettingthe other benefit grow viadeferred credits.

While every case needsto be analyzed individually,there will be many situa-tions where it will still makesense to delay your benefitsto age 70. The Social Secu-rity earnings difference be-tween taking benefits at age62 versus your full retire-ment age is approximately25%. And that's a perma-nent lifetime reduction. Andwaiting longer than your fullretirement age, up to age 70,brings you 8% increases foreach year of delay.

I also want to brieflytouch on dependent childSocial Security benefits.This benefit applies toanyone currently drawing aSocial Security retirementbenefit that has a dependent

child under the age of 18 or,they can be 18 years old andstill in high school.

The dependent childSocial Security benefit is to-tally independent from yourown benefit. In other words,it will not decrease yourretirement benefit. Ratherit's an additional benefit.This benefit also applies forlegally adopted children,which is often the case insome second marriages.

I know one person who iscurrently drawing the depen-dent child Social Securitybenefit and they are cur-rently getting over $1,200per month for one child asa dependent child benefit.The amount of the benefitwill vary depending on yourcircumstances. There areprobably many situations

where this benefit wouldapply, but people just don'tknow about the benefit.

I think the best adviceI can give anyone is thatit pays to get professionalhelp when it comes timeto making a decision as towhen you should be drawingSocial Security and whichbenefits make the mostsense for your situation.

castles, and windmills in theNetherlands.

'that was where I washeaded: I was about to sailwith my wife on a week'scruise on Dutch and Belgianwaterways. After flying fromChicago to Amsterdam, weboarded the AmaCerto, ariver cruise ship in the fleetof AmaWaterways.

My first impression: Theseriverboats look nothing likehuge oceangoing cruise ships.River cruisers resemble sleekluxury yachts, low to the waterand narrow enough to squeezethrough locks along the way.Plus, they are very long. TheAmaCerto stretches the lengthof one and a half footballfields. But it has stateroomsfor only 164 passengers,compared to 3,000 or moreon ocean cruise ships. Fewerpassengers means more per-sonalized service and a betterchance to get to know yourfellow passengers.

Another big difference:River cruises concentrate onsightseeing every day, whileocean cruises stress a party.atmosphere.

In a welcome to the newpassengers, the captain of theAmaCerto joked about this ad-vantage over an ocean cruise:"On the river, if you miss asailing, you can rent a bike andpedal to the next port -- andprobably beat the boat."

River cruises depart year -,round from many Europeanports. Ours was timed to takeadvantage of "Tulip Time,"when millions of tulips bloomin the Netherlands every Apriland May.

I've toured Europe by bi-cycle, motor scooter, car, bus,and train. Now I was look-ing forward to 475 miles ofsightseeing by boat. After all,rivers used to be the historichighways of Europe.

Many of the newly arrivedpassengers spent that firstafternoon visiting some of

Amsterdam's major high-lights: The Rijksmuseum withRembrandt's "Night Watch,"the Van Gogh Museum, AnneFrank's House, and others.

But I decided to check outthe boat first.

The gangplank from thedock leads up to the ship's"front door" and receptiondesk. Off to the right is thespacious main lounge andbar. Most of the 82 stateroomsare on the middle two decks.Topside is the sundeck witha -heated pool and a walkingtrack.

Our cabin was a cozy 210square feet. Calling it a state-room makes it sound larger.

But a mirror on one wall andthe floor -to -ceiling glass doorto the outside balcony actuallymade it feel larger. Of course,most of the time on a cruise willnot be spent in your cabin.

For some passengers themost important part of the shipis the main dining room.

Everything is included inthe price of the cruise. Thatmeans transportation on theship, sightseeing tours, andall meals on board, plus com-plimentary wine and beer at

lunch and dinner.Hemingway found his

Another way to work offcalories is to ride one of theship's bicycles (no charge)along riverside pathways andthrough cites when we are inport.

Not to be missed is the Chef'sTable, a specialty restaurantwhere diners watch chefsprepare a meal comparable toChicago's best eateries. Reser-vations are required but thereis no extra charge.

Before leaving Amsterdamon the first day of sailing, wetake a sightseeing boat alongAmsterdam's famous canals,most of them dating from the17th Century. These scenicwaterways gave the city itsnickname: "Venice of theNorth."

We also walked along a canaledged with tourist shops. Aflower store was bright withrows of tulips in many colors.A nearby stall displayed whatmust be the No. 1 souvenir inHolland-wooden shoes, orclogs. Since this is Europe, youpay in euros. But will you wearclogs at home'? They won't take

the place of flip-flops.The first stop on the cruise

was Volendam, an old fishingvillage. From there we walkedto nearby Edam, known for itscheese.

The next morning the shipdocked below a bridge in Arn-hem on the lower Rhine River.This was the site of a famousWorld War II battle and themovie "A Bridge Too Far."

After crossing into Belgianwaters, we landed at Antwerpfor a walking and bike tour.The next day was Ghent fora walking tour and later anoptional tour to picturesqueBruges, which was offered atextra cost -- but worth it.

The windmill is a Dutch iconand many of them can be seennear Kinderdijik, another stop.Most were built around 1740 asan important part of the drain-age system in the Netherlandssince 40% of the country isbelow sea level.

We agreed the highlight of"Tulip Time" was at the end ofthe cruise with a visit to Keu-kenhof Gardens, a 70 -acre parkoutside Amsterdam. Show-cased were millions of bloom-ing tulips.

How does river cruising stack

No driving and missing the sights, no wastedtime getting lost, no looking for hotels andrestaurants, no long bus or train rides -- andunpacking only once.

Population Loss: Minor Blip Or Growing Concern?By TIM O'CONNORJournal & Topics Reporter

Illinois and the Chicagoarea are losing people. Thatmuch is clear after the U.S.Census released its latest dataon metropolitan populationsin March. The question now iswhether that decline is a blip,or the start or a more concern-ing trend. It's too early to drawconclusions, but the situation isgiving population experts andcommunity leaders reason tolook inward at the health ofthe state.

Between July 1, 2014, andJuly 1, 2015, the number ofI 11 inois residents dropped from12,880,580 to 12,859,995, adifference of 20,585 (0.2%).It was the second greatestrate of decline by percentage,according to the U.S. Censusestimates. Only West Virginiahad a higher percentage ofemigration in that time period.It marked the second year in arow of declining populationfor the state.

Much of that decline wasdriven by changes in theChicago metropolitan region.Cook County had the largestnumeric loss of population ofany county in the entire country,according to the U.S. Censusestimates, dropping 10,488people. The next largest declinewas 6,673 residents in Wayne,Michigan. It was the first lossin population for Cook Countysince the recession began in2007. Cook County now has5.2 million people, second only

Wheeling's 2016Progress Report

Wheeling's diverse economicbase delivered stable growthover the past year. Sales reportswere up across most categories,while demand continued to bestrong in the industrial sector,sustaining low vacancy rates. Inaddition, several major projectshave spurred interest in devel-opment opportunities in town,particularly along the Dundeeand Milwaukee corridors.

Thirty-five new businessesopened in the past year, includ-ing notable new concepts suchas Purple Sprout Café, whichopened in Riverside Plaza shop-ping center in late 2015 and isalready a regional favorite forraw and cooked vegan cuisine.Other additions include MasterBrew Beverages and Ameri-can Cast Films in Wheeling'sindustrial districts. Overall,industrial business openingsand expansions reported in 2015are projected to result in morethan 280 new jobs and over $2million in renovation and newconstruction.

New industrial business

openings continued at a slowerpace than in 2014, likely due tothe emergence of a very tightmarket for industrial space.The vacancy rate in Wheeling'sindustrial sector is still amongthe lowest in the region at aroundsix percent, and several majorvacancies are in the process ofbeing filled.

Most notably, Richelieu Foodsis expected to take occupancy ofan 115,000 -square -foot facilityon Palatine Road. Thanks torecruitment efforts by the Vil-lage and at federal, state, county,and local levels, Wheeling wonout over several competitors inRichelieu's national site searchfor a food -processing plant thatwill employ at least 125 people.Village President Dean Argirisexpressed gratitude to 10th U.S.Congressional District Rep. BobDold, Governor Bruce Rauner,the Illinois Dept. of Commerceand Economic Opportunity,the Cook County WorkforcePartnership, and EconomicDevelopment Director JohnMelaniphy for their efforts to

including Northgate Crossing, the Whit-ley, and Creekside Medical Center, theVillage issued permits for nearly $70million worth of construction projectslast year, a whopping $29 million in-crease over 2014.

Last year saw significant new develop-ment along the Dundee Road corridor,with more planned in the near future. Thevillage is preparing for future growth,starting with the recent addition of newstreetlights. Substantial road construc-tion will follow this year, includingimprovements at the intersections of

Dundee and McHenry and Dundee andElmhurst to facilitate traffic flow, as wellas an improved and signalized intersec-tion at Dundee and Community Boule-vard that will serve the Post Office andCommunity Campus.

The police department was reaccred-ited by the Commission on Accreditationfor Law Enforcement Agencies for theeighth time; the department also wonthe Commission's prestigious Accredi-tation with Excellence Award. Also in2015, Wheeling began providing policedispatch services for the City of DesPlaines, an arrangement that maintainsresponsiveness in both communities ata substantial savings to taxpayers.

Significant milestones were reached inthe village's ongoing stormwater controlefforts. The village secured a grant tofund the relocation of the residents ofthe Fox Point mobile home communitywho were impacted by the April 2013floods. The village also successfully ne-gotiated with Cook County to establish aconnection to their storm sewer at HintzRoad and Jackson Drive that will helpimprove the transmission of stormwaterfrom that flood -prone area. In addition,the village established a Stormwater Util-ity Fund to finance future infrastructureimprovements aimed at reduce floodingthroughout Wheeling.

Business andGovernment WorkTogether inFranklin Park

One of Franklin Park's majorindustrial clusters, the Cul-lerton Street Industrial Areacontains 2.5 million -square

sb- Meet of industrial building areaan approximately 50 acresof land. The 10 businesseslocated in the area employover 1,300 individuals andgenerate an annual tax rev-enue of over $1.6 million tolocal taxing bodies. Originallyconstructed by a private de-veloper, the now public roadsserving these businesses werenot built to withstand heavytruck traffic and declined toa point of complete disrepair.Business owners increasinglyexpressed concern over theimpact of street conditions ondaily operations.

Without the $6.3 millionneeded to fully fund completereconstruction of the streets, in2014 the village worked cre-

atively to facilitate an unprec-edented partnership betweenbusinesses in the area, CookCounty, the State of Illinoisand the U.S. Department ofHousing and Urban Develop-ment (HUD). Businesses inthe Cullerton Street IndustrialArea agreed to be included ina Special Service Area (SSA),whereby property owners willbe assessed an additional an-nual tax to pay for the cost ofimprovements over a 20 -yearperiod. In order to reduce thetax burden on businesses inthe SSA, the Village secureda $3 million low -interest loanas part of Cook County BUILTin Cook Section 108 LoanProgram. A $1.3 million grantfrom the Illinois Departmentof Transportation was awardedthrough the agency's Eco-nomic Development Programand the village contributed theremaining $2 million needed tofully finance the project.

As a direct result of the proj-ect, which will be completedin spring of 2016, 5 businessesin the Cullerton Street SSAcommitted to hiring 133 addi-tional employees and retainingall existing employees. Thisproject was only made pos-sible by government at variouslevels and businesses workingtogether to address infrastruc-ture needs, where all werepartners in project financingto keep and expand jobs inthe village, Cook County and

Niles: It's Possible HereNiles is known by many for

the Leaning Tower of Niles,which is a half-size replicaof the Leaning Tower of Pisa,but there is much more to thegrowing community. Nileswas first settled in 1837,making it one of the 10 oldestcommunities in Cook County.From its blue-collar roots, ithas grown into a communitywith a strong economic base,an appreciation for arts andculture and an appetite forcultural services and celebra-tions.

In an effort to leverage in-credible residential servicesand take an active role in thepositive development of Niles,the village embarked on acommunity -driven processresulting in the Niles 2030Comprehensive Plan. Thisplan laid the groundwork for anumber of planning initiativesaddressing arts and culture,sustainability, multi -modaltransportation, infrastructure,community services, and costefficient government and eco-nomic development, whichare all focus areas in Nilesmoving forward.

Thanks to the collaborativeefforts with intergovernmentalpartners such as the Niles ParkDistrict, the Niles Chamberof Commerce and Industry,the Niles Public Library, andthe local schools, organiza-tions and churches, Niles hasbecome home to several valu-able programs, festivals, andcommunity events. Some ofthese key collaborative effortsinclude Niles Public Arts andCulture Advisory Council,Bike Niles Fest, the Fourth ofJuly Parade and Celebration,Oak Park Summer ConcertSeries, the Greek Food Fest,Maria SS Lauretana SocietyFestival, the Holly Jolly Mar-ket, and Niles Taste of Sister

Cities. The village is also inthe early stages of planning acommunity vegetable gardenthat will offer garden plots forresidents and help supply theNiles Food Pantry with freshproduce.

Sustainability is anothervery important focus in Niles.Currently, the village supportsa number of green initiatives.It is a Tree City USA and hasa dedicated arborist who looksafter the urban forest. Niles has

improve on -time performanceand schedule reliability, andoffer rider amenities at stationssuch as heated shelters, bikeracks and real-time bus arrivalinformation. The refurbish-ing and rebuilding of Niles isalso a key initiative movingforward. Niles is ensuring thatthe infrastructure and servicesthat businesses and residentsexpect and need will not onlybe provided, but will continueto enhance the quality of life. Afew projects underway includewater main improvements,streetscape work, Niles Lean-ing Tower rehabilitation, streetresurfacing and the ClevelandCorridor Sewer ImprovementProject.

Another important ele-ment moving forward iscost -savings. The Village ofNiles levies a low municipalproperty tax because of astrong sales tax base that isdue to location and an aggres-sive economic developmenteffort and because of fiscalresponsibility. Niles activelyseeks out grants to helpfund projects and initiatives.The administration looks atvillage efficiencies and, in2015, started the EconomicEnhancement Committee toexplore new, innovative waysto find cost savings.

Niles takes advantage ofopportunities to cut costsby collaborating with sur-rounding communities usingthe Municipal PartneringInitiative (MPI), which savesparticipating municipalities anaverage of 20% per project.All of these areas aid in Niles'overall image and identityand pave the way for a brightfuture. The village staff looksforward to another year ofprogress and reminds resi-dents, businesses and visitorsthat "it's possible here."

DowntownliVIP ThroughwThe Years

Boom TownIn '50s, VillageTurns 100 In '17


From Model -T's and smallshops to today's parade ofSUVs and retail centers, down-town Mount Prospect haschanged dramatically sincethe village was incorporated acentury ago next February.

The first to establish a com-munity in Mount Prospectwere German Lutheran im-migrants.

According to the Mount1 IP Prospect Historical Society, the

immigrants wanted to maintaintheir traditional religious prac-tices and language.

Prior to the 1900s, the firstGerman family to set roots inthe area was the Linnemann's,followed a few months laterby the Busse's. Both the Lin-nemann's and Busse's pur-chased farms that had alreadybeen established, and weresoon joined by other German-speaking Lutherans.

Although the railroad linecame through Mount Prospectin 1850, there was no move tobuild a train station for over20 years. While other com-munities, such as ArlingtonHeights, built train stationsand markets, Mount Prospectavoided doing so. It was notuntil a developer from outsidethe community bought up land

around the tracks, that a stationwas built or a downtown wasdeveloped.

In the 1880s, John ConradMoehling, a member of thelocal German community,bought a general store. Moe-hling began serving the Ger-man community and creatinga town. A few years later heestablished a post office, whichliterally put the community onthe map. This convinced JohnMeyn, who had moved to Ar-lington Heights from Germanya year before, to move to MountProspect in 1883 and establisha blacksmith shop.

Also in the 1880s, WilliamWille opened a creamery,which allowed the Germanfarmers a place to sell theirdairy products.

In the 1890s, William Bussemoved off the family farm andopened a second store in thecommunity.

Flash forward to the 1930s.William Busse worked to keepthe community on an evenplane and kept Mount ProspectState Bank solvent through-out the Great Depression.The bank, which had startedout in a small brick building,expanded and moved into Wil-liam Busse's store in 1928,remained open throughout theentire Depression.

Mount Prospect saw verylittle development in the firsthalf of the 1940s, but saw a lotof activity in the second half.

Following the conclusion ofWorld War II, Mount Prospectquickly entered its second

William Busse's first store as seen around the turn of the century.Busse was instrumental is helping keep Mount Prospect State Banksolvent through the Great Depression.

Aerial photo from 1956 shows spread of Mount Prospect's downtown boom of the '50s. New residentialdevelopments began to build around the village center at Northwest Highway and Main Street (lower rightof photo).

major period of expansion.From 1940-50, the populationmore than doubled. In the fol-lowing decade, the populationgrew almost 500%. The villagewent from a semi -agriculturalcommunity to a major post-warsuburb virtually overnight,according to the historicalsociety.

The decade of the 1950s wasa time of exponential growthfor Mount Prospect. Thepopulation jumped from 4,009in 1950 to 18,906 in 1960, anincrease of over 470%. Over 40residential sub -developmentsstarted in the 1950s and thetown grew outwardly from theoriginal downtown.

Mount Prospect businessesflourished during the boomof the 1950s. The Busse fam-ily continued to play a rolein the business community.They were leaders in the realtybusiness with Annen & Busse

Realty and Busse Real Estate.Albert Busse ran Busse Buick,which was still the town'sonly car dealership throughthe '50s.

A big emphasis was placedon the newness of things, andolder or more traditional build-ings were discarded. The farms,greenhouses, creameries andother traditional occupationswere pushed out of the villageand replaced with stores, andlater, shopping malls.

According to the historicalsociety, the post-war popula-tion boom had a dramatic effecton commercial developmentin Mount Prospect. Before the'50s, Mount Prospect's com-mercial areas were locateddowntown. In the '50s, thevillage began looking pastdowntown and specifically ashopping mall. The process ofdeveloping Randhurst began.

Starting in the 1970s and

over the next 40 years, down-town continued to evolve withlongtime, historic businessesclosing and new ones comingin. Also, older buildings weredemolished to pave the way fornew ones, shaping downtownfor what it is today.

The village board in 2008approved redevelopment ofthe small triangle -shaped areabounded by Main Street, North-west Highway (U.S. Route 14)and Busse Avenue.

That project called for multi-story residential buildingsand a mixture of retail andrestaurants. Two longtimebuildings, Gail's Carriage Innand Meersman Law Firm, weredemolished to pave way forpossible development.

However, with the economytaking a downturn, plans for thedevelopment never material-ized further.

However, what today'sdowntown looks like is verydifferent from a century anda half ago when the villageincorporated.

Downtown Palatine startedoff much like other nearbycommunities: emerging fromfarmland in a rural area withfew streets and a handful ofstores to take care of the localneeds.

At the turn of the 20th cen-tury, streets were still unpavedand sidewalks were madefrom wooden planks. That allchanged within the first 20years of the 1900s.

Several people left their markon the town in the late 1800sand early 1900s.

The Comfort family cameto Palatine in 1858 to farm atRohlwing and Baldwin roads.In 1874, Wesley R. Comfortopened Comfort and Slade

Grain and Lumber with hisfather-in-law, just south of thetracks on Brockway. In 1968,what is now the Harris Bankbuilding, was erected.

The oldest local businesstoday is Zimmer Hardwareat 18 N. Brockway St. It wasfounded by Albert C. Zimmerin 1883 at the corner of Sladeand Bothwell. It later moved toBrockway and the family livedin an upstairs apartment.

According to the PalatineHistorical Society, Zimmerwas born in Wheeling in 1856and apprenticed as a tinsmith.After his death in 1947, thestore was operated by his step-daughter, Lydia Wienecke, andher nephew, Howard Freeman,until Lydia's death in 1958.

The Freeman's continued tolive above the store and ran thefamily business until it was soldto Mike Lemonidis and DickBrumm in 1972. The fourth andpresent owner, Nancy Martino,purchased the hardware store in1996. Remodeling took place

Mount Prospect(Continued from page 40)Today, Director of Com-

munity Development BillCooney remains optimisticabout what the future holds fordowntown.

With Mount Prospect imple-menting a wayfinding program,Cooney said new signage willhelp visitors access the down-town area and parking withmuch more ease.

"We have much more freeparking than people realize andthis will point them in the rightdirection," Cooney said.

Cooney said the village'smain goal is to create a down-town district where people canspend time in the evening and

on weekends shopping and din-ing, all in a pedestrian -friendlyenvironment.

"We have a lot of varietydowntown and we want tocontinue to provide a goodvariety and other entertainmentvenues that could consist of amovie theater or bowling alleypotentially," Cooney said. "Wewould consider all that."

The downtown footprint isonly so big, however. Cooneysaid there remains no roomfor a large-scale grocery storeunless other properties weredemolished. However, hesaid it is feasible for a smallerscale grocery store -- maybe10,000-15,000 sq. ft. -- to

operate in the downtown areaone day.

The village board establishedaTax Increment Financing (UP)district in 1985 for downtownwhich spans north of the railroadtracks up to Central Road.

A TIF district is an economicredevelopment tool used bycommunities to spur invest-ment in a particular geographicarea.

The original TIF districtlifespan was 23 years, whichvillage trustees extended foranother 13 years in 2008 expir-ing in 2021.

Cooney said there has beenno further discussion by electedofficials on extending the TIFeven further.

Mount Prospect's downtownis comparable to downtowns

in other communities, Cooneysaid, especially up and down theUnion Pacific Northwest line.

"The train gives the com-munity access to public trans-portation to travel to Chicagoor anywhere else they desire,"Cooney said. "It does createa traffic challenge especiallyduring peak hours, but it isdefinitely better for the com-munity."

Train tracks that run throughthe center of the communitybeg additional questions, how-ever. Could downtown MountProspect, for instance, one dayinclude pedestrian bridges orunderpasses to improve trafficflow? Cooney said the chal-lenge is to ensure everythingremains American DisabilitiesAct (ADA) compliant.

"If you build a bridge overthe railroad tracks you needsignificant amount of roomto ramp up the grades to meetADA requirements," Cooneysaid. "We continue to look atit and have thought about it,but the reality is it is very chal-lenging."

With Central Plaza havingbeen demolished in the lastyear, Cooney looks forward toredevelopment of that site, atCentral Road and Main Street,on the edge of downtown.

"Everything is pointing in theright direction," Cooney said."The economy is improving,and we view the downtowndistrict as the heart and soul ofirthe community. I am lookingforward to continued redevelop-ment as we move forward."

Rolling Meadows City Center GrowingBy DIANE TURNER-HURNSJournal & Topics Reporter

Stand in the Rolling Meadows ShoppingCenter parking lot along Kirchoff Road and turnslowly in a full circle. You'll likely notice newlife in the city's downtown, including a soon -to -open ice cream and coffee drive-in, at leastthree banks, several new multi -story townhomes,an expanding community garden, the longtimeJewel grocery store, a full -service library and apeaceful park memorializing veterans.

Most of the new growth has occurred in thepast couple of years, just as the city celebratedits 60th anniversary in 2015.

Some have quipped that Rolling Meadows'downtown is dying, but many say just the op-posite is true.

"Yes, with both new commerce and newcustomers coming into downtown, we thinkthat people will definitely notice an increase inactivity. We're very hopeful that the increasedactivity will lead to even more," said Mayor TomRooney. "For Rolling Meadows residents, thesethings should mean more choices, more oppor-tunities, and a broadening of the tax base."

And, it looks as if the extended downtownarea along Kirchoff Road may become wholeagain, with the strong possibility of a new multi-use retirement home project being constructedon the empty Dominick's site at Kirchoff andMeadow Drive.

Dallas -based South Bay Partners will pres-ent its development proposal to city leaders ata May meeting. The plans would encompasswhat they propose could be done to the prop-erty, including the surrounding parking areaand landscaping.

If plans are met with a positive response, SouthBay will formally present them to the city coun-

- cil for final approval. If final approval is given,South Bay would finalize the purchase of the oldDominick's site and begin construction.

South Bay is a real estate development com-pany specializing in senior housing. It providesproject management and has been responsiblefor developing 66 assisted living, Alzheimer'sand independent living projects in 13 states,plus the strategic redevelopment of 10 large(172-560 unit) senior communities.

"The next step for the planned senior com-munity that's been proposed is an appearance bySouth Bay at the May Committee of the Wholemeeting," Rooney said.

During a January 2016 Committee of theWhole (COW) meeting, South Bay officialspresented their initial plans.

"If we receive approval for a special use permitalong with other permits and possible zoningchanges, then I would say it would take about24 months to construct the units," South BayDevelopment Manager Adam A. Arnold toldthe Journal & Topics last January. "This wouldinclude razing the existing Dominick's buildingwhich takes up much of the property."

South Bay Partners is the contingent purchaserof the land from its current owners, Clark StreetReal Estate (CSRE). If approval is given fortheir project, officials said, they will purchasethe property. Prices were not immediatelydisclosed.

CSRE put the vacant Dominick's site, alsoknown as Meadows Marketplace, up for salelast August. The Dominick's has been vacantfor several years. CSRE took ownership of the11 -acre marketplace in November 2011.

Over the years, city officials have workedclosely with CSRE and other economic develop-ment organizations to market the site, but to noavail. One grocer was close to moving in, butwas unable to do so for financial reasons.

In Rolling Meadows Shopping Center, con-struction continues at Ben Franklin Bank for adrive -through window where the old RollingMeadows Post Office once stood. Bank officialsreceived approval from the city to make thechanges in late 2015.

In addition, several new townhomes in the54 -unit Lexington Crossing development arecompleted and sold. The townhomes are beingbuilt on the former AMF bowling alley site onKirchoff.

Growth in Rolling Meadows' downtown areamirrors growth throughout the community. Cityofficials note that while the number of busi-nesses that opened in the city totaled 58 for2015 -- less than 2014's 90 -- the total value ofall building activity last year hit $96 million,which was more than in previous years, saidMayor Rooney.

Palatine(Continued from page 41)over the years, but the storestill retains some of its old-time features.

Henry C. Batterman builtthe Brick Block in the tri-angle, formed by the railroadtracks and Slade Street onthe east side of Brockway in1884. At that time, it was thetallest building in town. Thebuilding contained stores atstreet level and offices above.The top floor had room forthe Maennerchor and a hallknown as Opera Hall.

According to the histori-cal society, when he died in1902, Batterman left the BrickBlock to his grandsons, Dr.William Abelman and Dr.Henry Abelman. The buildingwas demolished in 1938 andthe parcel remained vacantfor several years. Eventually,First Bank & Trust Companyof Illinois was constructed onthe site.

The Pahlman and HansCheap Cash Store was locatedon the southeast corner of theBatterman Brick Block. Pala-tine National Bank occupiedthe other corner of the build-ing and the Palatine, LakeZurich & Wauconda Railroadopened its first office on thecorner of the second floor.

One of the village's earliestdowntown businesses wasowned by the Schoppe family,who opened a general store in1892 and occupied Brockwayand Slade streets through1967. A fire destroyed thebuilding in November 1970.

Also, for a time, theSchoppe's ran a garage andsold automobiles at 11 S.Brockway St. After WorldWar II, Fred Korber, Jr. ran itas the Cork and Bottle Store.Dobby Dobkin acquired it in1963 and the former PalatinePost Office when it moved in1971, changing the name toWorld Wide Liquors.

Another early downtownbusiness was Kunze's Saloon,which stood on the southeastcorner of Brockway andSlade across from Schoppe'sStore.

Oswald Kunze immigratedto America in the 1880s andcame to Palatine in 1904 tooperate the saloon, accord-ing to the historical society.He left for Texas in 1916 andsold the building to Dr. CarlStarck.

Once Starck took over, heremodeled the building into ahospital in 1916 and built anaddition three years later. Thehospital also trained nurses.

He eventually closed the

hospital in 1950 because ofa shortage of nurses. Sincethen, the building has held avariety of tenants, including adrug store, Army recruitmentcenter and offices.

Three stores were locatedon the west side of Brockwayin 1913. W.H. Brockwayopened his hardware storeyears before with WilliamOst, and bought him out in1910.

Around the corner on SladeStreet, in the early 1900s, wasIke Blum's Tavern. Blum wasborn in Palatine and raisedin Arlington Heights. Hereturned to the village andpurchased the tavern in 1900and operated it until 1917.

By the 1930s, the cornerof Brockway and Slade washome to the bank, NationalTea Company which sold gro-ceries, Schroeder's Pharmacyand Bockelman & Son Hard-ware. Today, Harris Bank oc-cupies the entire block.

In January 1949, John Wil-son opened the Ben FranklinStore at 36 N. Brockway St.,the site of the former NationalTea Company.

Throughout the rest of the20th century and into the 21stcentury, new restaurants andbars opened up, along with aparking garage and severalmulti -story residential units.

In the next 5-10 years,Village Manager Reid Ot-tesen does not expect muchto change when it comes todowntown.

"If I look back, in the last 15years there has been tremen-dous amount of building andthere is not much more roomfor significant developmentdowntown," Ottesen said."We have a nice blend ofsome new spaces and othertraditional and older build-ings."

According to Ottesen, thefocus the last five years hasbeen on encouraging reinvest-ment in existing properties andenhancing what is in place.

"We have made downtownmore pedestrian friendly andprovided more adequate park-ing," he said.

Ottesen said he does notpredict many more retail userswill move downtown sinceonline shopping has becomeso popular.

"We will always be anentertainment area and des-tination," Ottesen said. "Ihave four kids and there area lot of great places to godowntown that is for families.Then by 9 p.m., it transitionsto adult night life and that'sgood from a business modeland village because it bringspeople downtown."

Next Act For Theater?Progress Slow On Resurrecting Downtown Landmark, But City Is Brainstorming

By LAUREN BARRYJournal & Topics Reporter

After two years of stagnancy,2016 should be the year thatthings get moving at the DesPlaines Theater, according toCity Manager Mike Bartho-lomew.

This landmark propertyfrom the late 1920s left a holein the city's increasingly vi-brant downtown area when itclosed due to code violationsin 2014.

"We're going to have to comeup with options," said Bartho-lomew. "We're brainstormingand we are going to bring ideasto the city council."

A number of options couldbe pursued in renovating thetheater at Lee and Miner streets,including the city purchasingthe building and using publicfunds to restore it.

"It's a risky option," saidBartholomew.

Former Economic and Com-munity Development DirectorGeorge Sakas explained, "Atthe end of the day, it's a busi-ness. We can't throw money atit not knowing if we are goingto bring it back."

However, other communi-ties have found municipality -owned theaters to be a success-ful venture. Notable examplesinclude the Normal Theater indownstate Normal, the TampaTheater in Florida and thenearby Metropolis Perform-ing Arts Center in ArlingtonHeights.

The Metropolis PerformingArts Center building is ownedby the village, which acts asa landlord. Arlington Heightsalso provides the theater witha $150,000-$250,000 subsidyeach year. Unlike the Normaland Tampa theaters, Metropolisfocuses on live productions,musical events and educationrather than movies.

Though the village ownsMetropolis, they do not man-age the theater's operations.A non-profit group of experi-enced professionals works tosecure acts and run classes inthe facility.

According to Bartholomew,

the city's "best option would befor the owner to sell to someonewith experience."

Jack Groat, organizer of theannual Little Boots Rodeoin Elk Grove Village and thevillage's farmers market, wasinterested in the theater at onetime.

Groat, also a local businessowner, showed interest in pur-chasing the Des Plaines Theateras part of a Request for Interestand Qualifications (RFIQ) or-ganized by the city and theaterowner Dhitu Bhagwakar in2014. He believes the theatershowed similar potential toMetropolis as a live perfor-

mance space and communityeducation destination.

"We made an offer and itwasn't accepted," Groat toldthe Journal & Topics. He saidBhagwakar never gave him areason why he turned downthe offer.

"I sat down in front of him,took out my checkbook andasked him to give me a price,"said Groat. "I think that hedoesn't want to sell outright."

Bhagwakar, also the owner ofStrike Ten Lanes and Loungein Roselle, has been reluctantto sell, even though findingfunding to improve the theaterhas proved nearly impossible inpast years. He told the Journal& Topics that he is looking fora partner with financial back-ing and experience to run thetheater, though he hasn't found"the right fit."

"I want to see the theater getgoing yesterday," Bhagwakarsaid. He estimates it wouldtake around $250,000 in reno-vations and repairs to get thetheater running.

When the theater was shutdown in 2014, it had lost a pieceof its ceiling, and Bhagwakarmissed deadlines for bringingthe building up to code by in-stalling a new fire curtain onthe stage. He was hoping at thetime to fund further repairs withrevenue from shows. Now thatthe property isn't generatingfunds, Bhagwakar has decidedto halt repair work.

"As any building sits, it dete-riorates," said Sakas regardingthe state of the theater in 2016.

Yet, Bhagwakar said that hekeeps the theater decent.

If things have deterioratedbeyond a certain point, theentire property may have to berazed, according to Ron Onesti,who runs the Arcada Theater inSt. Charles.

"That's my biggest fear,"said Onesti. He also expressedinterest in running the theaterfor Bhagwakar during the 2014RFIQ, and envisioned resur-recting the space with the samecommunity -engagement meth-od that backed the Arcada.

"It was really ready to go," hesaid of the Arcada, a vauevillehouse built in 1926, "but I didget the community riled up." Hesaid that reaching out to otherlocal businesses for sponosr-ship and fundraising helped theproject gain momentum. It alsohelped that the theater was ableto remain in operation throughits renovations. While the cityof St. Charles maintainedownsership, Onesti, a veteran inthe promotions industry, builtup the acts. Now, the theaterboasts over 200 performancesa year with some with highprofile entretainers, such asTodd Rundgren, The Misfitsand Paul Anka, all performingthere this May.

Like Groat, Onesti told theJournal & Topics, "I will for-ever be interested in runningthe Des Plaines Theater."

What's On Park Ridge's Plate? Lots!By ANNE LUNDEJournal & Topics Reporter

Dining out has been a longtradition in Park Ridge, bothfor local residents and as adestination for surroundingcommunities.

The openings and closingof area eateries is also a wayto measure the successes andstruggles in the local businesscommunity. Some have lastedfor decades.

Retail shops close and arereplaced by restaurants. Res-taurants close and may bereplaced with anything fromhair or nail salons to exercisestudios.

Some blocks are lucky tohave one place to get a meal. InUptown, one block has sportedas many as a dozen places toeat at once.

For old timers, there are fondmemories of the elegance ofrestaurants with tableclothswhere you could go for a lovelyluncheon.

The Tallyho took over oneof the old homes on SouthNorthwest Highway, and thePantry expanded a house onGarden Street to become oneof the places to hold a party orwedding reception. The Tal-lyho site became a bank parkinglot, recently set aside for apart-ment dwellers on upper floorsof Chase Bank. The Pantrybecame the Park Ridge Non -Profit Center, where the ParkRidge Chamber hosts cateredbreakfasts on occasion.

These were restaurants whichdid not depend on alcoholfor customers, because ParkRidge was dry for more than100 years.

Bailey's, a family restaurantat Touhy and Cumberland, wasamong the first restaurants to

' qualify to sell alcoholic bev-erages at a service bar with alimited number of bar stools.

It was still a popular place toeat a decade ago when a bankstarted negotiating for the spaceand the restaurant was abruptlyclosed.

Another family spot, caughtin the march of progress, wasthe Happy House near Mea-cham and North NorthwestHighway. Uptown redevelop-ment targeted its block forupscale shops.

One of the restaurants withthe longest traditions in ParkRidge is the Canton Tea Gardenon Devon. Frank Eng startedit in a space upstairs from thestorefront where Pine's Men'sShop was a fixture at Prospectand Summit avenues. Hemoved it to Devon Avenue inSouth Park, where the tea gar-den has been ever since.

Chinese Dragon is still onTouhy Avenue, but Jade House,a long-time staple in the Vil-lage Green Shopping Center,closed a few years ago to bereplaced briefly with anotherAsian restaurant.

Asian cuisine has branchedout, however, with restaurantslike Venus and Maki Sushi onSouth Northwest Highway, orthe relatively recent Bluefish

sushi restaurant on NorthNorthwest Highway. SiamThai has just departed fromEuclid Avenue. Remodel-ing of a former Ben Franklinstore on South Prospect hasstarted for Shakou, a Japaneserestaurant.

Italian food also has beenappreciated in Park Ridge.Frank Ernesto ran Sonny's onDevon Avenue for many years.A few years after closing it,he reopened on Main Streetas Gumba Joe's, a carryoutcounter which expanded with adining room to the west, and aseparate pizzeria to the east.

Nonna Silvia's Trattoriaand Pizzeria at Canfield andTalcott has established its pres-ence along the city's easternborder.

Pizza has been a popularcarryout dish, from the Italian"pies" dished up when Orsi'sPizza moved to Touhy Avenuefrom Edison Park Ridge in the1960s, to Little Caesar's andPerry's, in South Park or J.D.Kadd's on North NorthwestHighway.

The first block of South Prospect is a popular place for eateries,from coffee shops and sandwiches to major restaurants, with threechoices of Asian cuisine around the block.

The advent of the Uptown TIF district a decade ago replaced a waterreservoir and parking lot with the Shops of Uptown. Houlihan's (left)combines restaurant and lounge, while the Noodles restaurant (right)offers casual seating and carryouts in a variety of cultural flavors.Jason's Deli and Eggsperience are also in the block.

Park Ridge on North NorthwestHighway, and D' Agostino's, onHiggins Road east of Cumber-land. Lou Malnati's shop in Vil-lage Green recently expandedinto a second storefront.

There was a time whenPark Ridge resisted fast foodfranchises, especially whenMcDonald's first wanted toopen a drive -through at Oaktonand Northwest Highway. DesPlaines, Skokie and HarwoodHeights didn't have the same

Town Center: Then & Now`Key Property' InBuffalo Grove'sLake -Cook Study


The Town Center, a100,000 -plus sq. ft. shoppingcenter in the heart of BuffaloGrove, is approaching 30 yearsof existence.

The center at Lake -Cook andOld McHenry roads opened inspring 1989 after 17 years inthe making.

According to former VillageManager William Balling, whoserved in that role when theTown Center came into being,the concept was to create adowntown district.

Balling said in the early1970s, when he was an internprior to serving as villagemanager beginning in 1977,a comprehensive plan wascreated that included a towncenter similar to what was builtyears later.

"The only commercial devel-opment at that time was alongDundee,Road," Balling said."Lake County was just start-ing to emerge and a conceptwas conceived for a downtowncommercial district at the loca-tion where the center is today.It was based on economic

forecast and studies."Melvin Simon & Associ-

ates Inc. of Indianapolis, andpartners Seymour Taxmanand Lieberman, developed the55 -acre site.

"There was a lot of vacantland in the late 1970s wherethe center is today, and therewas only a barber shop and St.Mary's along with an insuranceagency," Balling said. "The restwas farmland."

Balling said as the town grewin the 1980s, so did develop-ment patterns throughout LakeCounty.

A total of 34 private develop-ers met with village officialsover several months in the1980s expressing interest inconstructing the Town Center,Balling said.

The village created a Busi-ness District DevelopmentCommission, which reported tothe village board. It was taskedwith finding ways to make adowntown come to fruition.

Balling said the project wascomplex because there were somany landowners involved.

A Tax Increment Financing(TIF) district was created tohelp supply incentives and tolure a developer to constructthe center. A TIF district isan economic redevelopmenttool used by communities tospur investment in a particulargeographic area.

Once land was acquired andfunding was in place, Simon& Associates stepped in todevelop the center.

The development consistedof a 113,000 sq. ft. retail center,68 townhomes and an 88 -unitmid -rise condominium devel-opment. The plan also entailed60,000 sq. ft. of added retail and132,000 sq. ft. of offices in atleast four buildings centered ona "village green." The VillageGreen, a 1.5 -acre public park

with a gazebo and bandshell,was considered the heart ofthe project.

There was no anchor tenantfor the Town Center at thebeginning, which Balling saidwas challenging. Also, thecenter opened in 1989 withoutany restaurants.

Balling said modificationswere made to the center thatincluded adding a grocery storeand 2-3 outlets on site. Eagle

`Pearl' Rosemont's New Focal PointHotel, Offices, Food -- Even Baseball -- Set For Area West Of Tri-State

By DIANE TURNER-HURNSJournal & Topics Reporter

The rose continues to bloomin Rosemont.

Not only has the village of4,000 residents and countlessbusinesses made strides in itsgrowth as a destination in thepast 60 years, but more stun-ning changes are ahead in thenear future.

In the next year, the westside of Rosemont will con-tinue to grow as another localMecca for visitors, residentsand businesses.

Led by Mayor Bradley E.Stephens, the son of longtimeand first Rosemont MayorDonald E. Stephens, alongwith the board of trustees andother village leaders, changesincluding new buildings, en-tertaining venues and morewill be built along Pearl Streetand the recently extendedBalmoral Avenue on the westside of the Tri-State Tollway(1-294).

These changes will bringsomething for everyone andcomplement the existingentertainment, shopping andconvention district a stone'sthrow away on the east sideof 1-294.

As village leaders note,progress is the hallmarkstandard of the village andhas been since the early dayswhen it began as a communityof 84 homes at Scott Streetand Higgins Road.

After years of planning andworking with county, state,federal and local transpor-tation officials, BalmoralAvenue, one of Rosemont'skey corridors was extended todirectly feed into and out ofChicago O'Hare InternationalAirport.

The Balmoral extensionopened last October.

Also, a new Balmoral Av-enue exit opened at MannheimRoad providing motoristswith another direct route intothe village.

To serve existing and ad-ditional crowds, ground willsoon break on a new develop-ment known as the The Pearl,a mixed -use developmentfeaturing three restaurants, a163 -room hotel and 100,000sq. ft. of office space at Bal-moral and Pearl Street.

One of the largest privatelyheld companies in the U.S.,

according to Forbes maga-zine, Koch Foods, will builda multi -story office buildingnext door on a 16 -acre site.

"The mayor (Bradley Ste-phens) is doing a great jobwith the village. He's anentrepreneur," Koch FoodsCEO Joseph Grendys toldthe Journal & Topics April 15when asked why the companyselected Rosemont as the siteof its new corporate headquar-ters. "We like what the mayorhas done and continues to doin Rosemont."

Rosemont officials recentlygave the green light for ParkRidge -based Koch to build itsnew 45,000 sq. ft. corporateheadquarters.

"It is an ideal location forus," Grendys said. "I expectwe could move in betweenSeptember and December2017, once construction iscomplete."

Grendys said Koch wouldmove to Rosemont with 40-50employees and expects to ex-pand staff to about 100 oncethey have moved into the newcorporate offices.

In all, the company employs14,000 throughout the U.S.

The five -story boutique ho-tel to be built in The Pearl willbe owned by Downers Grove -based Janko Hospitality. It isin the design stages.

As of April, plans for thenew development were beingfinalized to present to the vil-lage for building and zoningpermits.

Development is expected tobegin this spring.

The Pearl, officials note,will also include the Italianrestaurant and bakery BuddyV's.

Its owner appeared on acake making show on cableTV and has successful res-taurants in Las Vegas andHoboken, NJ.

But wait, there's more.Not only does Rosemont

boast having one of the fewwomen's professional fast -pitch softball stadiums in theU.S., located at the end ofPearl Street north of Balmoral(The Ballpark at Rosemont),but also a women's nationalchampionship team, the Chi-cago Bandits.

What's more, plans are inplay to develop a state-of-the-art outdoor sports stadiumnearby for a new minor leaguebaseball team.

Curbside view of vacant area of Rosemont that will soon transform into The Pearl development.

Artist's rendering shows perspective of proposed Rosemont minor league ballpark from concourse level.

Plans announced in Marchfor the proposed $65 millionstadium say it could openby April 15, 2018, on whatis now 10.2 acres of vacantland on the west side of 1-294north of Balmoral -- just downthe street from the BanditsBallpark.

Officials say preliminaryplans call for a Dave & Bust-er's restaurant and $20 millionparking garage to be built nextto the new stadium.

The new minor league teamhas not been named.

Also located along or nearBalmoral are the RosemontTheater, Fashion OutletsChicago, MB Financial Parkat Rosemont, federal securityoffices, a Xerox office, theDome at Rosemont and thecorporate headquarters ofLifesource.

The Pearl developmentcould be completed by sum-mer 2017, officials said.

The new Koch Foods corpo-rate building construction isexpected to begin in the nextfew months and be completed

by 2017.Village statistics show that

on average, 75,000-100,000people visit Rosemont daily.

The village itself has apopulation of 4,202 and morethan 60,000 employees com-mute to Rosemont daily forwork at a variety of businessesincluding multinational cor-porate headquarters and tradeassociations.

The infrastructure to sup-port this new growth has beenplanned and executed withthe new Balmoral Avenueextension, upgraded villageparking facilities and freePace buses that run severaltimes a day and night sevendays a week throughout thevillage.

Additionally, work maybegin this summer on thefirst wave of improvementsto Rosemont's CTABlue LineStation and parking lot alongRiver Road, which servesnearly 6,000 commuters aday.

This includes a pavementupdate and reconfiguration

of the entrance area aimed atoverhauling the existing park-ing lot, drop-off, taxi and buspickup areas.

New pedestrian walkwaysare also being designed.

The work is being done byseveral agencies includingRosemont.

Recent IDOT constructionincluded improving intersec-tions along Mannheim Roadthrough and near Rosemontincluding those at MontroseAvenue, Lawrence Avenue,Zemke Boulevard, and Hig-gins Road along with the I-190interchange.

The Higgins and Mannheimintersection landscaping inRosemont will soon be com-pleted.

This year, 2016, may bethe 60th anniversary for thevillage, but in the next twoyears, the explosion of growthmay give the village a wholenew look.

The town's founders wouldbe pleased as Rosemont'sreputation as a major destina-tion continues to grow.

Rock & RoadsNiles' Gross Point Touhy TIF Envisions Bandshell,

Reconfigured Streets To Ease Congestion

By TOM ROBBJournal & Topics Reporter

"Make no little plans; theyhave no magic to stir men'sblood... Make big plans, aimhigh in hope and work," Chi-cago founding father DanielBurnham famously said ofurban planning.

Niles Mayor Andrew Przy-bylo seems to have taken Burn -ham's message to heart

The village recently createdthe Gross Point Touhy TaxIncrement Financing (TIF)District on the village's farsoutheast side, making bigplans for its developmentincluding a bandshell andconcert area, plaza near theLeaning Tower landmark andnew roads.

Although broad develop-ment plans for the area includeindustrial and commercialrevitalization through publicand private partnerships, themost visible parts of the TIFdevelopment, which visitorswould actually be able to seeand use, are new roads anda new entertainment venue.Parts of those plans might notcome to fruition for 10 to 15years, but could come sooner,if existing occupied land opensup before then.

The village also designatedTouhy Avenue between GrossPoint and Lehigh as its arts andculture corridor. The designa-tion came out of the recentNiles 2030 Comprehensive

Plan calling for more publicart in the village.

The village created theNiles Public Arts and CultureAdvisory Council to work onincreasing public art of allkinds in the village. The artscouncil is getting ready toembark on a process to com-plete a public art plan, someof which would be focused inthe corridor.

Part of the process of creat-ing the TIF district is to cre-ate a land use plan. Many ofthe specific terms for the TIFwill be laid out in that docu-ment, which is expected to bereleased in June or July. TheJournal spoke with MayorPrzybylo and senior villageofficials about those long termplans.

Przybylo said the center-piece of a new entertainmentdistrict would be the NilesLeaning Tower, a 50% scalemodel of the famed LeaningTower of Pisa, located in the6200 block of Touhy Avenueon the grounds of the LeaningTower YMCA.

Przybylo said he envisions aplaza, where the Niles LeaningTower stands, with a cafe andpossibly retail outlets in addi-tion to a bandshell with regularconcerts. Przybylo has com-pared the vision for the concertbandshell to Highland Park'sRavinia and Rosemont's MBFinancial Park.

Village officials the Journalspoke with described an out-

door venue with 1,000 seatsand a lawn with a capacityof about 4,000 for a showon 86 to 88 acres. The areatentatively considered for thebandshell sits directly northof the Leaning Tower on landoccupied by the large LeaningTower YMCA building, whichincludes residential units, anda building owned by WWGrainger which houses a datacenter.

Both Przybylo and Eco-nomic Development Coordi-nator Ross Klicker discusseddevelopment of that areain terms of 10 to 15 years,"unless something dramatichappens," foreseeably eitherthe YMCA, Grainger or othernearby buildings becomingavailable through vacancy.Przybylo said the village isnot looking to purchase agreat deal of property for thebandshell. The mayor said heis unsure whether the YMCAor Grainger are even interestedin relocating.

Grainger did open anotherlarge data center in Lake For-est in September 2014. So far,there is little public indicationGrainger would move its Nilesoperations to the Lake Forestcenter.

A concert venue means alarge number of people need-ing to easily get to and fromthe location. Roads and trans-portation are also in the visionfor the TIF.

enue between Lehigh Avenueand Gross Point Road isalready congested and needsrelief, but as Touhy is a stateroute, widening the road is notan option.

Klicker said preliminaryplans are to see an expansionof existing streets within themain "Touhy Triangle" ofTouhy, Gross Point and Lehighto better route traffic whileallowing it to stay within thetriangle without needing to goback onto Touhy.

Currently, Melvina Avenue

cuts through the trianglefrom Touhy to Gross Point.Other roads leading from thetriangle, including CaldwellAvenue, Croname Road andNatchez Avenue, provide easyaccess to Howard Street offGross Point.

Caldwell itself is a majorroad providing quick accessto the Edens Expressway(1-94). Gross Point Roadbecomes Harts Road afterTouhy providing easy accessto Milwaukee Avenue.

Other transit options arebeing considered besides vehi-cles to take people to concertsat the bandshell. Niles owns afleet of buses for its Free Bussystem in partnership withPace Suburban Bus system.

Przybylo said some of thosebuses could be used as trolleysto take people directly fromthe Edgebrook Metra station atDevon Avenue and Lehigh tothe concert venue and back.

Pace spokesman PatrickWilmot said, although Pacewould need to review anyspecific plans, the idea is notunprecedented. Rosemont op-erates a Pace event shuttle bustaking people from the Rose-mont Blue Line Station to MBFinancial Park for events.

The full TIF district includesthe triangle, but also extendsbeyond Caldwell and to How-ard Street in some areas.

Glen Pointe Goes With New ModelBy TOM ROBBJournal & Topics Reporter

On Glenview's far north-west side, a real estate com-pany is banking on a large,relatively new mixed -usedevelopment's new model.

The 40 -acre development,including a massive officecampus, residential and retailnear Willow Road and theTri-State Tollway (1-294),has been in the works since2006 when water companyCulligan sold its property todevelopers GlenStar.

GlenStar transformed thedevelopment from a waterplant to the mixed -use site,which includes the two -building corporate campusfor global pharmaceuticalgiant Astellas, a 290 -unit resi-dential apartment complex, aMariano's grocery store, two-story health club, child daycare center, bank, and threebuildings for retail includingrestaurants.

In November 2015, CBREGlobal Investments pur-chased the 150,000 sq. ft.retail portion of the develop-ment for what was reportedas nearly $70 million at thetime. CBRE Global officialssaid the commercial spaces in

The Shops at Glen Pointe arenearly 100% occupied.

CBRE Global InvestorsPortfolio Manager Kim Hou-rihan said that while many de-velopments, such as shoppingcenters, try to lure patronsas "lifestyle centers," TheShops at Glen Pointe uses adifferent model drawing onessential services people use,sometimes everyday.

The development includesa 90,080 sq. ft. Mariano's,a 41,000 sq. ft. LA Fitnesshealth club and the massive440,000 sq. ft. Astellas Phar-maceutical headquarters.

Those residents and of-fice workers can go to lunchat restaurants like Naf NafGrill, shop for groceries atMariano's, work out at thefitness center and use otherretailers and amenities onlocation.

Besides the people livingand working within walkingdistance of the retail center,CBRE officials said 130,000

access to drivers from alldirections and a secondaryentrance is off Sanders Roadnorth of Willow.

Traffic impacts were mini-mized by the development'slocation off the tollway andfrom the recently completedWillow Road widening proj-ect which improved trafficflows on Willow east of thedevelopment.

Unlike lifestyle center retaildevelopments, Hourihan said

Site map shows layout of Glen Pointe development northwest of 1-294 and Willow Road in Glenview on the former Culligan water property.

Glen Pointe is not likely tosuffer from "interest erosion"as some of its larger retailersare used on a weekly or evendaily basis. Once drawn to theshopping area of the develop-ment for those needs, othershops benefit.

The $150 million Astellasoffice campus opened in 2011providing a ready populationof employees.

The opening day eventbrought out elected officialsfrom Glenview's villagepresident and representativesin Congress to corporate lead-ers from Japan.

At the opening, officialsdonned ceremonial Japaneserobes and took wooden ham-mers to break the lids of largecasks of Japanese wine, whichthey then toasted the newproject with.

When Culligan was leav-ing the site, the villages ofGlenview and Northbrook andcity of Prospect Heights inkeda joint annexation agreementseeding the property to thevillage of Glenview. Thethree communities, along withGlenbrook High School Dis-trict 225 and West NorthfieldElementary School District 31came together to plan the bestuse for the property.

Although the Astellas build-ing went in, in 2011, the 2008recession put the rest of theproject on hold until 2012.

Because the studio, one-and- two -bedroom apart-ments were marketed moreto professional singles andcouples working in Glen-view, Northbrook and alongthe 1-294 corridor, it did nothave a major impact on schoolpopulations.

Charting A New CourseChicago Executive Airport, Working To Address Noise Concerns, Looks To Future

By LAUREN BARRYJournal & Topics Reporter

Though noise at ChicagoExecutive Airport (CEA) is agrowing concern for residentsof Wheeling and ProspectHeights, what increases thatnoise may be surprising.

Recently, the Journal &Topics peeked in on airportoperations and plans for alonger runway.

Rob Mark, a veteran FAAcontroller/pilot and communi-cations specialist for the airportargues that CEA's shorterrunways can actually causemore noise that residents maybe hearing.

However, many local resi-dents, such as members ofCitizens Against Runway Ex-pansion (CARE), fear the pos-sibility of, one day, being forcedto deal with larger jets and moresound in their homes.

"Aircraft engines usuallyproduce the noise people hear,"said Mark, adding that landingscan also produce noise as air-craft run at high power. Shorterrunways condense this noise as

they give aircraft less space towarm up or cool down.

"A shorterrunway means theinability to safely take off inthe summer months at maxi-mum weight with a fuel fullload," Mark said. "We don'twant larger aircraft. We'd liketo see the people who haveairplanes here operate as wellas they can."

From the time the airportopened as Gauthier's FlyingField in 1925 until the 1970s,

many of its planes were per-sonal aircraft used for flyinginstruction or leisure flights.According to Mark, thesesmaller planes, mostly Cessnas,make very little engine noise.

On a Saturday afternoon inearly April when the Journal& Topics visited CEA, thingswere quiet, but a small groupof pilots could be seen aroundthe airport. Though a numberof flying schools and clubsstill exist at CEA, a number offactors in recent years, such aslawsuits, increased fuel pricesand equipment costs as well asheightened post 9/11 regula-tions, caused the number of

leisure pilots to dwindle."There used to be so many

people learning to fly, it lookedlike a hornets nest," said Markas he took the Journal & Topicson a tour of the CEA grounds."We're running out of pilots."While smaller planes are be-coming scarce, louder, larger,corporate jets have establisheda new steady flow at the air-port.

By the time Wheeling andProspect Heights purchased theairport (then called Palwaukee)from Priester Aviation in 1986,

it was one of three "reliever"airports in the Chicago area.These airports handle smallaircraft flights that would dis-rupt the flow of air traffic at theregion's larger airports, O'Hareand Midway International.

While the other two reliev-ers, Waukegan and DuPage,offer a larger square footageand longer runways than CEA,it remains the busiest of thethree.

"It's never dull here," laughedMark, who said that the airporthandled over 75,000 take offs

Looking To Skype? FindOut How At Niles LibraryBy DENISE FLEISCHERLifestyle Editor

Video chatting is far from anew experience, but introducingbaby boomers to the concept ofdownloading an app, to videochat across the nation or theworld, might not be easily ac-cepted.

First, users must to adaptto the fact that technologicaladvances are to be experiencedby all ages. Then they have to"hit" the call button.

Senior centers and librariesfrequently offer classes on thebasics of using a computer,emailing, reading e -books on aKindle device, using MicrosoftWord and Excel.

The Niles Public LibraryDistrict hopes to take thingsone step further by educating

the public on using Skype.Skype is an app that allows

users to call another user via cellphone, iPad, laptop or desktopcomputer.

The idea of offering a Skypeclass began with a patron'srequest.

"A mother told me that herdaughter went to Spain fora yearand she wanted to learn how touse Skype so they could talk,so I showed her how it works,"said Bernadetta Koryciarz, adigital services assistant at thelibrary for the past three years."She came back later thrilledthat her daughter was able toshow her around her apartmentin Spain."

The first Skype class at thelibrary will be held from 3 to 4p.m. Tuesday, May 10. Up to 15students may register. Interest-

ing enough, of the nine earlyregistrations made in March,many of those who signed upare seniors. Chances are, theylearned about the features ofthe app from their grandchil-dren and know the benefits canenhance their lives.

This is because Skype allowsusers a direct visual connectionthrough Skype to Skype callson PCs, tablets or computersanywhere in the world. Callsto mobiles and landlines world-wide have low rates.

By attending the class, stu-dents will learn about thesimplicity and convenienceof speaking with family andfriends through video con-ferencing. But there are otherfeatures as well.

"I'm going to start my classtelling them where they can

Niles Public Library District Digital Services Librarian, Ruth Schuster,demonstrates how to get started with Skype on an iPad.

go to download the applica-tion," said Koryciarz. "Skypeis already downloaded in thelibrary's Studio B laptops."

A Power Point presentationwill help explain the basic pro-cedure, starting with establish-ing an account.

"I'll help them find their wayaround Skype including howthey can add contacts, be online

but invisible, how to send textmessages, leave voices mes-sages, send documents or photosand how to make a group call,"said Koryciarz. "All they needon their own devices is wi-fi, aweb camera, microphone andspeakers.

"We're very excited about thisnew class. The opportunities areendless," said Koryciarz.

and landings last year, slightlydown from over 76,000 in 2014.Included in these operations areinternational trips to Canada,Mexico, the Caribbean andEurope.

According to data from en-gineering consultants at Craw-ford, Murphy and Tilly (CMT),CEA handled 10,056 departuresfrom their top 20 destinationsbetween June 2013 and June2015, while DuPage handled6,920 and Waukegan just 3,721in the same timeframe.

To keep its three runwaysbusy, CEA has carved out aniche in the flying market,

focused on community andprivacy.

"People like their privacy inbusiness aviation," said Mark.Many planes at CEA fly inand out of fixed base operators(FBOs), or hangars owned bycompanies that cater to cor-porate clients. Hawthorne, theairport's newest FBO, featuresa large hangar and conferencerooms. Other corporations, suchas Eclipse Jet and Allstate Insur-ance, run their own hangars.

According to Mark, stayinglow-key is the main reasonbusinesses are drawn to CEA.In addition to providing a placeto land, FBOs take care of food,lodging and transportation needsfor their corporate clients, oftendirecting them to businesses in

Wheeling and Prospect Heights,according to Mark.

While an increased corporatepresence at the airport can havea positive affect on local busi-nesses, the louder aircraft hasbecome a point of contention inthe community. Wheeling Vil-lage Trustee Mary Papantos hasbeen a strong voice in favor of aquieter CEA, and at a December2015 noise committee meetingcomplained that engines couldbe heard in early morning hours.Similar complaints have beenheard south of the airport inProspect Heights in an areafull of condos, apartments andpeople.

Though the airport operates24/7, Airport Manager JamieAbbott has said that CEA tries

to keep heavy noise containedto certain hours. Even so, partof the facility's traffic includesemergency organ transplants,such as the flight which skiddedoff a runway in January, as wellas other last minute corporatetrips.

As the airport's go -to fornoise complaints, Mark knowsthat maintaining the balancebetween keeping CEA users andthe community happy can bedifficult. Moving forward, this isone of CEA's top priorities.

In the past year, the airporthas been actively pursing longerrunway concepts (its longestrunway is 5,000 ft.), as well asother options to increase userswhile keeping sound out ofresidents' homes. The airport

noise committee began meetingin late 2015 and CEA has beenworking to obtain funding tocomplete the more expensiveNoise Compatibility Program(NCP) measures from theairport's 1991 and 2010 Part150 studies, according to anairport operations presentationby Abbott.

Mark told the Journal &Topics that CEA has also beenconducting interviews of usersand looking into new runwayconfigurations in the secondphase of its master plan project.Next up on CEA's agenda isrenewing noise exposure mapsin an effort to secure sensors fornoise monitoring and possiblesoundproofing for homes andschools.

EG Twp. Connects

With CommunityIn early 2016, Elk Grove Township held its first meeting

with more than 40 social service agencies, churches andgovernment bodies with a goal to explore partnerships,provide referrals and coordinate efforts to help in-needcommunity members.

The group is called EGTAC, which stands for the ElkGrove Township Agency Collaborative. More than 65representatives from 41 organizations attended the meet-ing at the end of January, which was held at Elk GroveTownship, located at 2400 S. Arlington Heights Rd. inArlington Heights.

The creation of EGTAC coincides with the refinementof the Township logo, and overall message and directioncommunicated through it.

Those includeElk Grove Village, Mount Prospect, Rolling Meadows,Arlington Heights and Des Plaines.

"By all of our organizations working collaboratively,we can effectively assist more Township residents," saidMike Sweeney, Elk Grove Township supervisor. "TheEGTAC members each have specialties. When we meetand share information about our capabilities and programknowledge, we increase our abilities to help those thatcome to us with a need."

Among those who attended the first EGTAC meeting wererepresentatives from the villages of Arlington Heights andElk Grove Village, Rolling Meadows Police Department,Northwest Community Healthcare, Community Consoli-dated School District 59, Kenneth Young Center, Little CityFoundation, WINGS -Women in Need Growing Stronger,the Vet Center, Prince of Peace, United Methodist, ChristusVictor Lutheran and several other churches, in addition totwo dozen more social service organizations.

Future meetings are planned to continue to strengthenpartnerships between all partner organizations.

"The overall goal here is to connect the dots in our com-munity to better serve individuals in their time of need,"Sweeney said.

is on the losing end of that equa-tion. Both the metropolitan areaas a whole and Cook Countyspecifically have had a netdomestic out migration sinceat least 1990-91. Domestic mi-gration is the number of peoplemoving from one U.S. county toanother. However, during mostof the past 25 years the area stillsaw a steady net gain in residentsbecause the combination ofbirths and immigrants to Chica-goland outpaced those domesticlosses. That cushion has beenshrinking in recent years. Whilethe number of immigrants hasstayed steady -- between 24,000and 32,000 annually since2006-07 -- domestic migra-tion continues to increase. In2008-09, net domestic migra-tion saw 38,333 people leavemetropolitan Chicago. By2014-15 that number had morethan doubled to 80,160. CookCounty saw a similar rise, from29,429 people moving away in2008-09 to 55,381 in 2014-15.

The county's peak domes-tic out migration occurred in2004-05 when 98,002 peopleleft Cook.

In the past, Cook County'slosses tended to be the collarcounties' gains. The rest of theChicago metro area -- exclud-ing Cook -- had positive net

domestic migration every yearbetween 1990-91 and 2007-08.That changed in 2014-15 whenthe surrounding counties hada net domestic migration lossof 24,779 people. However,those areas still had a minor, ifnot stagnant growth, of 4,225people in 2014-15 thanks tobirths and immigration. Thatloss in the collar counties linesup with the declining of popu-lation statewide. Frey said itindicates that people are nolonger simply moving from thecity to the suburbs, but out ofthe metro area entirely.

"What this tells you is thewhole metro area is part of thisdomestic out phenomenon,"Frey said.

The pervasiveness of theregion and state's populationdecline could be an indicatorthat the migration out of Illinoisis more than a momentary hic-cup in Illinois' growth. "Thedemography of it makes it lookmore employment related,"Frey said. Chicago is a eco-nomically diverse area whichFrey said makes the populationdecline surprising. However,he cautioned against coming toany premature conclusions andsaid it would take several moreyears of losses before there wasa reason for concern. "This issomething to just keep an eyeon," he said.
