COMMUNICATOR

Noel B. Cummings

T he beginning of September marks the traditional end of summer.

I hope that our residents enjoyed the Annual Quarry Days Village

Picnic. The Village and the Park District put a lot of work in this annual

event for the benefit of our residents.

This year marks an important anniversary for our village. The

creation of our first TIF (Tax Increment Finance) District which covers

the Quarry Shopping Center, is set to expire on December 15th, 2013.

On that date, our tax obligations to develop that TIF will be completely

paid off. This goal has been a long time in the works and will be a great

asset to the village and our financial security in the future.

The Quarry Shopping Center opened about 23 years ago with the

Celozzi-Ettleson Cadillac Dealership. Now, the Ettleson-Cadillac-Buick

dealership is doing well, along with Advantage Chevrolet, Sam’s Club,

Walmart, Target and all the additional stores and restaurants. While not

part of the Quarry Shopping Center, I might add that the AMC Theater

and Menards are also doing well.

Despite all this success, there is one unfinished piece of the

commercial development goal set in TIF #1. The east side of East

Avenue has a lot of work to be done. As you can see, some things have

occurred: the old Hilltop Tavern property was acquired and the building demolished; several houses along

East Avenue have been acquired by Don Schure from D & S Trucking Center for purposes of a new truck

sales show room.

I can tell you, we have been working with some other property owners along East Avenue to accomplish a

complete makeover to the east side of East Avenue. This is the north entrance to our Village and is

important to improve the appearance and will draw additional retail businesses into the mall area. We have

just recently obtained a commitment from “Ben’s Rental” of Countryside to relocate to the old Hilltop

Tavern property. This will compliment both Menards and the Ben’s Rental business. We are still in talks

with two more businesses who may be interested in the East Avenue locations. These new buildings and

businesses will improve the appearance of the East Avenue properties and will bring a solid tax base and

revenue structure for the village in the long term.

There is still lots of development to work on in the meantime. I hope to report more progress in the very

near future.

the two crossings, at Santa Fe Drive and at 67th Street. In addition, complaints have been

made about the whistles being blown excessively in the rail yard itself.

A town hall style meeting was held at the village hall in June with the Illinois

Commerce Commission and Representatives from Burlington Northern Railroad. About

30 concerned and angry residents attended and voiced their displeasure with the officials.

Mr. Brian Vercruysse of the Illinois Commerce Commission answered many questions and urged

residents to make a log of when the train whistles are being excessive. The ICC can then follow up on

specific dates and times with the railroad.

The Village is maintaining a record book of complaints. If you hear a train whistle and feel that it is

excessive, call and register the date and time with the Village Hall. If it happens in the evening hours or

T he Village has been asked to allow

restricted parking on Kane Avenue from

the Immanuel Lutheran Church to the corner

at Kane Avenue and Cobb Street. This

parking restriction would only be on

Sunday mornings between 7:00 am

and 12:00 Noon. This would allow for

easier parking for those who are

attending church services.

At a committee meeting on

September 4th, 2013 Village President

Noel Cummings advised that

representatives from the Lutheran

church asked if it was possible to

allow reserved parking for the church

attendees during the Sunday morning services.

Following a brief discussion, the consensus of

board members approved the idea.

Signs will be posted on the east side of

Kane Avenue from the Church

northbound to Cobb Street, that will

reflect reserved parking for Sunday

mornings from 7:00 am until Noon.

President Cummings noted that the

corner lot is already vacant and this

should not cause any hardships on

street parking during those hours

requested.

F or Hodgkins Park District’s new Executive

Director, Kelly Young, along with the Park

District Board, this year marks the culmination of

many years of preparation and work toward

making dramatic improvements to the village’s

athletic and recreational hub. Following a master

plan first put together in 2007 by Young and her

predecessor, Ron Kubicki, then developed

through the stages of grant writing (assisted by

Design Perspectives) and application to the state,

the commencement of construction on the PARC

Grant Building Expansion and Renovation Project

has been a long-hoped-for dream for the Hodgkins

Park District.

At a cost of $3.3 million, $2.75 million of

which will be reimbursed by the state of Illinois

through the PARC Grant (Park And Recreation

facility Construction program), the project will see

the renovation of the older portion of the building

(constructed in 1958), the addition of an indoor

playground at the east end of the building, and an

expansion of the fitness center. Also added will be

a new locker room, new bathroom facilities, a

nutritional classroom (learning kitchen), a new

multi-purpose room (to

include a fitness studio

and a regulation

volleyball court), a

senior center, an

expanded pre-school

room with controlled

a c c e s s , a n d a n

expanded and more

functional lobby area.

In addition to these specific improvements, the

building will be getting an overall “facelift” to the

exterior, further enhancing the beauty of the

community.

At an outdoor groundbreaking ceremony held

on July 29th, Young addressed a crowd of village

residents and community leaders, expressing her

joy at the culmination of so much work over many

years. “I can’t believe we’re finally here,” she said.

Also in attendance at the ceremony were

representatives of the construction management

firm, Sigalos and Associates, and of the

architectural firm, Studio GC. Young expressed

glowing praise for these two companies, and an

excitement to see their work come to life.

“We threw any and every idea we ever had for

this building at them. And we aren’t sure how

they did it, but, even dealing with our craziness,

they designed the most beautiful and functional

building we could have ever imagined. I couldn’t

have asked for a better team.”

The PARC Grant program is provided through

the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. It

provides 75% of funding for construction on

public parks and

recreational facilities

t h r o u g h

reimbursement, with

t h e m u n i c i p a l i t y

typically covering the

remaining 25%.

Construction is set

to be completed by

June 2014.


I n this difficult economy, many families have struggled to make ends meet,

and this sometimes can even result in food shortages. The Chicago Food

Depository, with the support of the Township of Lyons and the Community

Memorial Foundation, has made strides to help meet some of these needs.

They have begun using Hodgkins Park District as a distribution point for their

area food pantry, in addition to St. Blasé Parish in Summit and the

Justice Village Hall. Employees of the Park District and Village,

along with community volunteers, helped to distribute the food

to individuals and families in need.

Starting in October of 2011, the food pantry has supplied

numerous food items to people who seek food assistance. Among the items

available in past food giveaways are cereal, pasta boxes, canned goods,

crackers, potatoes, peanut butter, melons, and a host of other foods that

are easy to prepare or ready to eat. As of now, all that is required of

those seeking food is their name, address, and the number in their

household.

The next food pantry giveaway hosted by the Hodgkins Park

District will be held on Sept. 17, 2013. If you have any questions, or

for opportunities to volunteer, feel free to contact Park District

Executive Director, Kelly Young at 708-354-6563.

T he Village of Hodgkins Historical Society Com-

mittee preserves the way of life and progress of the Village since it’s beginning to present day. Respecting the families, entities, and artifacts that represent the history of the Village of Hodg-kins is priority. Displaying the history of the Village of Hodg-kins for the community to view in a safe organized way will be done to the best of our abilities. The Historical Society building is located at 6511 Kane Avenue. You may know it as the old village hall and fire department or the community center. The hours of operation are being worked on and will be posted soon. Countless hours have gone into renovating the building and preparing it to be the new home of the Historical Society. The Centennial Committee did research, gathered photographs, oral and written histories from resi-dents for the Centennial Celebrations in 1996. They have given the present Historical Society a wealth of information to work with. The Historical Society Committee has taken tours of other local Historical Societies and gained knowledge and insight as to how items are cata-loged and preserved. We have spent the summer cataloging and preserving the photographs and arti-facts that we do have at the present time. We will be asking for donations of any artifacts and photo-

Exhibits Include: Quarry, Fire Department, Police Department, Village Government, WWI, WWII, Korean, and Viet-nam military items, School, Churches, Businesses, Home life of the past and Fashions of the past are what will be on display. We ask the residents to ponder these exhibits and think about artifacts that

you may have that can be added to our inventory. We plan to have a list available of possible items that you may have during Quarry Days. We may have special exhibits throughout the year and asking for

items to be brought in for exhibits. An example of a special exhibit would be Christmas Ornaments of the Past. We ask for loans of the ornaments you may have to put on display. You may have ideas for

exhibits and we would love to hear about them.

graphs that represent the past. There are two ways to donate an item. One you can gift the item to the Historical Society, which is the preferred method or loan an item to the Histori-cal Society. Each item will be cataloged and properly cared for. The Historical Society will have

files on the homes in the residential area of Hodg-kins. We need you to help fill the files with infor-mation about your home. Take a picture of your home at present and your family. If you have any photographs of your home before renovations and knowledge of previous occupants we would like to copy them for our files. The Historical Society functions on volunteerism. We welcome all who wish to volunteer hours to work on archiving photographs, artifacts, data en-try, and working during hours of operation. The Village of Hodgkins is part of a family’s history even if you have just moved to the area or are a life-long resident. Please come and join us in preserv-ing your family’s history.

F or Sergeant Michael Cimino, this

year marked the end of a twelve-

year run as the Hodgkins DARE

officer. On April 24, Cimino stood

before a crowd of students, parents,

teachers, administrators, police, and

civic leaders at the 2013 DARE

Graduation, and addressed the group

for the last time in that capacity. He

expressed his thankfulness to the

police department for its full support

of him as he led DARE, to the

teachers who assisted him over the

years, and to the parents for entrusting

their children with him on all the

outings and activities that make up such a large

portion of the program. He also thanked Sergeant

Chris Milojevich, former Hodgkins DARE officer

and current Youth Division Supervisor, for giving

him the opportunity to run the DARE program, as

well as the freedom to run it his own way.

Police Officer Matthew Hosteny will now take

on the DARE duties, picking up where Cimino

leaves off. Cimino expressed his full

confidence that DARE is in capable hands

with the new DARE officer.

“I’m sure [Hosteny] will do a great

job, as he’s young and he already has a

good relationship with the kids,” said

Cimino.

Speaking of the joys of working with his

DARE classes, Cimino had this to say: “I think

what I will miss most is seeing the enthusiasm of the

kids when I would walk in. Kids get very excited

about DARE activities.”

Cimino was also quick to admit that he had been

changed by the experience. “It’s

helped me to look at law

enforcement through the eyes of

sixth-graders, and how they view

police officers,” he said. “It’s

made me more mindful and aware of

our image in the community. I’m

proud that, as a DARE officer, I was

able to be a positive adult figure, and in

particular a positive law enforcement

figure, in so many children’s lives.

Often, because I taught multiple

siblings in succession over several

years, and interacted with their parents

and siblings over and over, I had the

feeling of being a part of their family.”

The Hodgkins DARE program was

started in January of 1991 by former

Chief Rich Stewart and Dep. Chief

Hugh Rhodes. Youth Division

Supervisor Ofc. Phil Kringlie recommended

Milojevich and the program was set in motion. Ofc.

Milojevich ran the program for nine years. During

his tenure as DARE officer, Milojevich started the

practice of taking the kids on field trips and doing

community service projects, such as raking leaves

for the elderly and fundraising for flood victims and

a children’s home for the abused. He first contacted

Cimino, who had already been a juvenile

officer for two years at that time, about DARE

in 2000, to see if he would be interested

in becoming the new DARE officer. He

later turned the program completely over

to Cimino, in 2001. Milojevich knew

firsthand how effective creative freedom

could be in energizing a program, and he

wanted to pass that along.

“I wanted him to run DARE as he saw fit, to

make the program his own,” Milojevich said. “I

didn’t want to intrude on his ideas. I was given free

reign, and I wanted him to have the same

opportunity.”

Congratulations Sgt. Cimino

for your service as Hodgkins

DARE Officer for the past 12

years!

By: Rodney Cummings

C oyotes have become a frequent sight in Cook County in

the past few years. Populations of the species, which

were indigenous to northern Illinois, have returned in

recent decades in greater numbers. Since coyotes favor

undeveloped land, this is particularly noticeable in the

vicinity of Cook County Forest Preserves.

Hodgkins has one forest preserve, Theodore Stone

Woods, and is bordered by another, Sunset Meadows, just to

the west. Coyotes have been spotted frequently in and around Hodgkins for many years now.

Although coyotes tend to avoid humans, there are circumstances that can increase human-

coyote contact, which can often become a nuisance to humans and deadly to the coyote.

According to the Audubon Society of Portland and the Cook County Department of Animal

and Rabies Control, there are a number of strategies the public can adopt in order to reduce

conflict with coyotes:

Be sure to supervise children and pets outdoors. House pets should be kept indoors or in

controlled access to the outdoors (walking on leashes and/or confining in a fenced-in

yard)

Never feed a coyote

If you see a coyote in or near your yard, shout and make loud noises to signal they are

not welcome

Remove any fallen fruit from your yard

Never approach a coyote. Cornered coyotes will bite, and habituation to humans is the

primary cause of aggressive foraging around yards. Teach children to respect wildlife

from a distance

Cover and secure household garbage

Consider installing a motion-sensitive outdoor lighting system if coyotes become a

frequent visitor to your property

If a coyote becomes a nuisance by aggressively following children or animals, or if they are

repeatedly spotted in yards during the day, they should be removed by professionals. If you

encounter an aggressive or threatening coyote, contact the:
