A few weeks ago Kim and I went to New Orleans for the graduation of our youngest son,
Mike. It’s a big emotional deal when you realize your baby is all grown up! I was so proud
when he and his girlfriend Luisa walked across the stage at the Superdome. Mike graduated
cum laude and Luisa summa cum laude. When he was younger, he had trouble in school;
fortunately, he was able to turn everything around and he graduated with a high B average.
The fact that he did this himself made the honor that much sweeter.
In New Orleans, time is defined as before and after Hurricane Katrina. Luisa’s folk’s home
is less than a mile from where one of the canals breached, so of course they got water in their
home. In fact, every single person I talked to on this trip, everywhere we went, had feet of
water in their home. Mike’s boss had a Mother’s Day crawfish boil (delicious!), and he told
us his home was trashed by the storm, his brother had about 7 feet of water, and his parent’s
home was ruined. There were no older model refrigerators or other appliances, and few cars
older than 9 years, as everything was destroyed either from water or mold. 80% of Orleans
Parish (county) was submerged, yet in the Parishes south of New Orleans 100% of the county was under water. People were evacuated from the roof of City Hall. It took over 3
months to pump out all the water, then the clean-up and rebuilding began.
New Orleans is back. Sure, there are problems, too many to list, but there is a positive attitude and energy to the place I never noticed before, and that is attracting young people to
live, work, and start businesses in the city. Everyone I talked to about the flood was matterof-fact, no high emotion. With help from others, the people of Louisiana picked themselves
up and put their lives together.
Storm Water Management
At this point, you probably are wondering what any of this has to do with Bannockburn. Can
you figure out what Barrington, Buffalo Grove, Deerfield, Fox Lake, Grayslake, Gurnee,
Highland Park, Ingleside, Lake Bluff, Lake Villa, Lake Zurich, Libertyville, Lincolnshire,
Lake County, Mundelein, Round Lake, Vernon Hills, Wauconda, Waukegan, and Zion have
in common? If you can’t make the connection, I’ll clue you in. All of these towns plus another 150 or so in the Chicagoland area were named in a suit filed by Farmer’s Insurance for
claims it paid out for flood damage in the spring of 2013. While I don’t know if the suit has
any chance of moving forward, I am pleased to see that our name is not on this list. While I
suppose this could be because no one in town is insured by Farmer’s (if you are, let us
know!), it is more likely because we had no real damage from the storm.
This is the reason we’ve spent so much time and effort over the past 7 years improving our
infrastructure. New sewers, cleaned sewer lines, the disconnecting of sump pumps, sealing
of man holes, and the replacement of missing clean out covers has paid off. Our flow into
the Telegraph Road lift station during and after a storm is now about 2 ½ times the dry rate.
Continued on page 2

June—July
2014
JIM’S NOTE CONTINUED
We used to be about 11 times the dry rate. Because the
ratio is so greatly improved, we don’t have sewage backing up onto the streets due to the lines being full. The
pumps are running less, and since our cost for processing
the wastewater is based on the amount of time the pumps
run, we are spending less to have storm water (which
does not have to be treated) pumped out of the Village.
This has improved the outlook for the sewer fund. We
now expect it to break even in about 7-8 years. Not too
many years ago we thought this would take 30-35 years,
we were that far behind.
The rain gardens are doing a remarkable job also. They
are designed to handle a 1-2” rain, but even after a heavy
rain, water does not puddle on the surface. The Village
has installed several of these gardens, and now residents
have joined in. Together we are making a difference, and
as a way of supporting the movement, the Village will
rebate up to 50% of the cost of the rain gardens subject to
maintenance and other requirements.
Heinen’s Grocery Store
The big news of course is Heinen’s Grocery Store, which
has taken over the old Dominick’s site. The new store
manager has been to Village Hall and is looking forward
to opening the store. The big question is, when? From
where things stand today, it’s looking like sometime in
August, a few weeks later than previously discussed.
This is because they’ve decided to demolish everything
inside rather than make do with what was there. I took a
tour with Mark, the foreman on the job, and snapped a
few photos of the work going on. There were probably
25 people at work
that I could see, in
addition to not
one but two backhoes
digging
trenches for sewer
lines in what used
to be the floor.
The only things
remaining from
the old store are the bread oven, some disconnected freezer cases and the metal ceiling tile grids.
To build a store like this is a major undertaking. Every
trade imaginable is represented here: plumbers, HVAC,
refrigeration, electrical, excavators, carpenters, sheet metal, cement finishers, drywallers, and even elevator repair
to get the loading docks working. I looked at the layout
of the new store and the departments will be in approximately the same general areas. The Starbucks area will be
a café, and a conference/community room will be up front
near the old bank area. It’s a bit of a mess now but the
crew working here
just finished doing
the new Glenview
store for Heinen’s
and it sure turned
out nicely, but I
think our store will
be even better (I
may not be impartial, however).

Jim’s Note Continued
Finance
While we are not planning any new debt offerings, our
credit rating is evaluated tri-annually. Our latest rating
from S&P is AAA, unchanged since 2006. Our status
and prospects remain good. While we have less cash on
hand than in previous years, we have used that reserve
money to retire higher interest rate debt (3.5%) and pay
down a significant portion of our pension obligations.
The excess funding we put into the pension fund earned
20%, much better than our money sitting in the bank.
Because the pension is better funded, we are not required
to put as much into the fund, so in addition to getting a
better return, we also decrease expenses by doing this.
Win-Win.
Economic Development
Because the Village is secure financially and has many
new infrastructure systems, we have been experiencing
more interest from new businesses, such as Heinen’s, and
also others who want to explore opportunities within Bannockburn. Recently, there has been a misconception concerning the development of multi-family housing along
both Half Day Road and Duffy Lane. A couple of months
ago, a developer did approach the Board with a concept
plan for townhomes on Half Day Road. Despite what
you may have heard, there are no developments for multifamily housing approved or even formally proposed. The
developer had an option on the property for 90 days and
insisted on going to the Board with a concept plan. The
response from the Board was that the developer needed to
go through the process, including notifying surrounding
residents and going before the PCZBA and the ARC for
their review and recommendations before coming to the
Board. The developer chose not to bring a formal proposal to the PCZBA for their review, and so no further
action was taken. My advice is that if you have any questions about potential developments, please call Maria or
Ryan to get the facts, or check the Village website and
read the meeting minutes yourself from the Board, ARC,
and PCZBA.
The new site automatically adjusts to your device so all
you have to do is scroll down to see all the info. We also
have a spot where you can sign up for an email from us.
We don’t plan on getting rid of the newsletter, but sometimes the information is two months old before it gets put
in the newsletter. My hope is to send out a paragraph or
two once a week describing what went on. We also can
send out reminders for events and for the snowbirds, a
weather advisory in case you need to ask someone to
check your home while you are away. With our old web
hosting service, we had to pay whenever we made changes to our site. With our new site we can change things in
house, so I am hoping the site will be much more current
and relevant. Sign up to receive information and give it a
try.
Special Events
Since I already mentioned events reminders, here are a
few that are coming up:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Tennis Day and Picnic (June 8th)
Community Safety Day (July 26th)
Heinen’s Grand Opening (August)
Car Show (August 2nd)
Bannockburn BBQ Challenge (August 9th)
700th Anniversary of Battle of Bannockburn
(September 7th)
All of these events are fun, and this year Heinen’s has
generously offered to donate the meat for the BBQ (this is
not insubstantial; believe me, people really like to eat ribs
and brisket!) And we have a lot of surprises planned for
the 700th Anniversary Bash so be sure to pencil in the date
(I may even break out a kilt for the occasion!) Practice
rolling your R’s like a Scot for the burning of the buckthorn bonfire. We won’t make you eat haggis I promise.
Until August, as they say in New Orleans, “Laisses les
bon temps roulez”, or, “Let the good times roll”!
Take Care,
Website
Speaking of the website, we have revamped ours. If you
have ever tried using a tablet or cellphone to access the
site, you probably needed a magnifying glass to read it.

Building or Remodeling?
Bannockburn Residents contemplating repaving or redesigning their driveway, remodeling, adding an
addition, installing sheds, fences, or any other structures on their property must come to the Village Hall
to seek a permit and to follow procedures. Performing work in your home or on your
property without a permit may result in unnecessary delays and fines. The Village
has been and will continue to be diligent in enforcing these codes.

BANNOCKBURN GARDEN CLUB
The Bannockburn Garden Club has been enjoying spring indoors. On April 9th, we took a tour
of The Long Grove Confectionary and saw how their fabulous candies are made. No wonder
they are expensive given how labor-intensive the process is. Then on May 7th, we enjoyed our
annual luncheon at Cellar Gate in Highwood. Many thanks to Joanne Burgess for arranging all
the details.
The Club will be selling terrariums at the Deerfield Farmer's market on Saturday, June
21st. Please come visit our booth and buy a terrarium. You will be getting a great indoor
planting and also be supporting the Garden Club. We will be planting the terrariums on June
12th. If this sounds like something you would enjoy helping us do, you can join us. We will be
providing all the materials. Just call Charlotte Bank at 847-971-0709 to get the time and location.
We look forward to seeing you at the Farmer's Market.

Severe Weather Preparedness
Severe weather could happen at any time, and each year people suffer or are seriously injured by severe weather
despite advance warning. Take action by preparing yourself and loved ones for emergencies:
•
Know your risk. Understand the types of hazardous weather that can affect where you live and work. During
active weather, stay alert of the forecast by checking radio, TV, or weather.gov.
•
Take action. Develop an emergency plan based on your local weather patterns and practice how and where to
take shelter before a severe weather event. Post the plan in your home where everyone can see it.
•
Be a Force of Nature. Once you have taken action, tell your friends, family, school staff and co-workers about
how they can prepare, and share the resources you have discovered through social media.

Scott’s Law
Scott’s Law was passed in 2002 in honor of Scott Gillen of the Chicago Fire Department, who was
struck and killed by a drunk driver while assisting at a crash on a busy Chicago expressway.
Scott’s Law states: “When approaching a stationary emergency vehicle using visual signals, yield,
change to a lane away from the emergency vehicle, and proceed with caution. If a lane change is
not possible, reduce speed and proceed with caution.”

Annual Drinking Water Quality Report
BANNOCKBURN
Source of Drinking Water
IL0970100
Annual Water Quality Report for the period of January 1 to
December 31, 2013
This report is intended to provide you with important information
about your drinking water and the efforts made by the water
system to provide safe drinking water. The source of drinking
water used by BANNOCKBURN is purchased from
Highland Park.
The source of drinking water used by BANNOCKBURN is
Purchased Surface Water.
For more information regarding this report contact:
The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include
rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels
over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturallyoccurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pickup
substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity.
Contaminants that may be present in source water include:
- Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come
from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock
operations, and wildlife.
- Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturallyoccurring or result from urban storm water runoff, industrial or domestic
wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming.
- Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such
as agriculture, urban storm water runoff, and residential uses.
Name: Maria Lasday
Phone: 847-945-6080
Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic
chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum
production, and can also come from gas stations, urban storm water runoff,
and septic systems.
- Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally-occurring or be the result
of oil and gas production and mining activities.
Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at
least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not
necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about
contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the EPAs Safe
Drinking Water Hotline at (800) 426-4791.
In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations which
limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems.
FDA regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must
provide the same protection for public health.
Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking
water than the general population.
Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing
chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with
HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly and infants can be
particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking
water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means
to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants
are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).
If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for
pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from
materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. We
cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your
water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead
exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for
drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to
have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and
steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water
Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.

Additional Contaminants – UCMR3
Every five years, in accordance with the Safe Drinking Water Act, the EPA identifies a new list of contaminants that are suspected to occur in public water
systems. This list is referred to as the Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UCMR). A maximum contaminant level (MCL) for these contaminants have not
been established by either state of federal regulations, nor has mandatory health effects language been set. The purpose of unregulated contaminant monitoring
is to assist USEPA in determining the occurrence of unregulated contaminants in drinking water and whether future regulation is warranted.
