AUTUMN IN WINTHROP HARBOR

It’s hard to believe that we are once again transitioning from

summer to fall… but the good news is that autumn is a beauti-

ful time of year to be in Winthrop Harbor!

Residents and visitors of all ages are invited to visit our

wonderful Lake Michigan lakefront, where you will en-

counter breathtaking views from sunrise to sunset. Our

lakefront includes nature trails, wildlife and all that the

North Point Marina has to offer. If you enjoy walking, jogging

or bicycling, come to the lakefront for one of the most beautiful places to walk, jog or

bike in northern Illinois! For those who delight in nature photography, you’ll find

more than you can imagine to take pictures of, including spectacular views of sail-

boats, wildlife and so much more.

Autumn is also a time for volleyball and basketball leagues, check out the details on

page 3. With our beautifully kept parks, including the 38-acres of Village Park, you’ll

find fun for the whole family in Winthrop Harbor. Enjoy it all before winter sets in!

ANNUAL HAUNTED HOUSE

Get ready for the super-spooky, really scary, annual Haunted

House! The Recreation Department is in the planning stages of this

year’s Haunted House. Last year was a great success, and this year

will be even better! There will be 10+ scary rooms to go through, and

refreshments will be available for sale. Volunteers are needed to help

with the event. The Haunted House will be open the weekend of Oct.

18th/19th. A volunteer informational meeting will be held on

Monday, Sept. 23rd, at 6:30pm at the Schlader Recreation

Center. Information will be posted in the newspapers and website as it

becomes available. Don’t miss out on this family fun event!

Water & Sewer Rate Revisions

The Village of Winthrop Harbor obtains its water supply from the Lake

County Water District (LCWD). Over the past few years the LCWD has in-

creased its rates to the Village, and the Village must now adjust its rates to

its residents accordingly. Ordinance 2013-O-17 was passed on Sept. 3, 2013

with the new rates applying to all bills issued on or after Sept. 15, 2013.

Full details of the new Ordinance can be viewed at Village Hall during busi-

ness hours, or any time on-line at www.winthropharbor.com. Following are

the new rates for water and sewer service:

For the first 5,000 gallons of water per quarter, the minimum charge

has changed from $11.00 to $13.00. For all usage in excess of 5,000 gal-

lons per quarter, the rate has changed from $4.02 to $4.65 per 1,000 gal-

lons.

The minimum charge for sewer has changed from $12.00 to $20.00 per

quarter. For all usage in excess of 5,000 gallons of water per quarter, the

sewer rate remains unchanged at 20 cents per 1,000 gallons.

For the new rates for users outside the Corporate limits, and additional in-

formation about this Ordinance, please visit www.winthropharbor.com.

“Believe and you’re halfway there” Harry S. Truman

President Truman was known for many quotes, but his true lega-

cy was in the accomplishments achieved during his time in office.

He thought big things and worked hard to see them realized.

Whether planning for change at the national level, or in our case

for the village, believing that a shared vision founded in best in-

tentions can be realized through hard work is a must.

Since early spring a group consisting of members from the Vil-

lage Board, the Planning & Zoning Board and the Economic De-

velopment Commission has been working with a land planning

consultant to create draft codes and ordinances that are intended

to encourage development around our Metra stop. The work de-

rived from implementing a plan adopted by the village in 2005

known as the Station Area & Streetscape Plan that envisions

mixed-use development at the corner of Sheridan Road and 7th

Street and along 7th Street down to the train station. It imagines

creating a vibrant downtown corridor consisting of a variety of

uses from retail shops/offices to housing options and potentially

even a hotel/inn.

The effort in the past few months consisted of gathering input

from the working group and the community, giving us a chance

to work toward a plan that we all have had a chance to create

together. There will be more opportunities for public input in the

coming months when the new codes will go before the Planning

& Zoning and Village Boards for final consideration.

If you have questions about this topic or any of the economic

development plans of the Village please contact Community De-

velopment Director, Pat DiPersio at 847-872-3846 Ext 255 or by

email at pdipersio@winthropharbor.com.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

As we near the end of another busy summer season filled with

special events we wanted to take a moment to thank all those who

get involved in making the village a great place to live and visit.

The list is long and starts with the Village Board, but it also in-

cludes many, many volunteers who give tirelessly of their time to

bring what starts out as only an idea, to reality. So the next time

you see someone who you know is helping organize or run any of

the events in the village, from the Memorial Day Parade to Har-

bor Fest, take the time to thank them, or better yet ask how you

can get involved. We are sure they would welcome your involve-

ment.

Winthrop Harbor Lions Club The Winthrop Harbor Lions are in full swing this fall.

With three upcoming events, the Lions Club is continu-

ing its commitment to community service. Our first

event is Canine Companions for Independence,

which is on Tuesday, September 10 at the Schlader

Building at 6:30 p.m. If you’ve ever wondered about Ca-

nine Companions, now is your chance to really discover

what they’re about with a demonstration by dogs and

participants that have been trained through this organi-

zation. Canine Companions for Independence (CCI) is a

non-profit organization that enhances the lives of people

with disabilities by providing highly trained assistance

dogs and ongoing support to ensure quality partner-

ships. This event is free and open to all because we know

you’ll be amazed at what these well-trained dogs can do.

For more information, visit our Facebook page online at:

Our second event is our Spaghetti Dinner, which is

Saturday, September 28 from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Schlader

and they can be purchased from any Lions member.

They can also be purchased at the following Lions busi-

ness Locations: Lion Peter Brush at Edward Jones 7th

es and individuals, we have been successful in providing

assistance to children and adults in need of eye exams,

glasses and hearing aids. We have also sponsored chil-

dren attending Camp Lions and have sponsored local

sports teams. We also provide $3,000 in scholarships,

which are presented annually to Zion High School gradu-

ates in addition to the countless of other community ser-

vice we provide.

Our third event is Candy Days, which is Friday, Octo-

ber 11. Candy Days is the premiere fundraiser for the

Village Notification System From time to time there is a need to notify residents of a

tion System is one method used to quickly reach out to

residents and businesses by telephone, e-mail or even

SMS/text messaging. The system database is updated

quarterly using information from telephone service pro-

viders, which exclude unlisted numbers. Residents may

log-in to edit their entry in the database, to change or

add phone numbers, e-mail address and SMS numbers.

To view or edit your entry in the database, simply visit

www.winthropharbor.com and click on the “Notification

lete my info” and follow the prompts.

Avoid Becoming a Burglary Victim!

The Police Department reminds all residents and busi-

nesses that burglaries can and do occur at all times of

the day or night. Taking steps to avoid becoming a victim

of these property crimes can greatly reduce the likelihood

that these burglars will visit your home or business.

The single most important step you can take is to keep

doors locked on your home and vehicles. Next, do not

leave items of value in plain view in your vehicle. Never

leave your purse or wallet, a GPS unit or other items

where they can be seen through the windows. For your

residence, it’s smart to have exterior lighting on at night,

as most burglars prefer to work in the dark. Equally as

important, all residents are encouraged to call the Police

non-emergency line (847-872-2131) when observing sus-

picious people, vehicles or activity. We are happy to come

out to check on the situation to ensure everyone’s safety

and security. For additional tips on how to avoid becom-

ing a burglary victim, visit the PD website at

www.whpd.org.

Soliciting in Winthrop Harbor The Police Department would like to address

the issue of door-to-door solicitations for cash

which have been reported on numerous occa-

sions recently.

Per village Ordinance §117.01, paragraph (4)

the definition of Solicitor includes any person,

charitable organization or business entity en-

gaged in the act of soliciting “Seeking to obtain

gifts or contributions of money, clothing, or oth-

er valuable thing for the support or benefit of

any charitable or non-profit organization, asso-

ciation, corporation, or project.” Full details of

Chapter 17 may be viewed on-line at the village

site: www.WinthropHarbor.com, or during busi-

ness hours at Village Hall.

§117.06 of the Ordinance provides for a Certifi-

cate of Registration which must be obtained by

any person desiring to solicit in the Village. Ap-

plication for the Certificate or Registration is

made with the Village Clerk, who submits the

application information to the Police Depart-

ment for review. It is important to note that the

issuance of the Certificate is not an endorse-

ment by the Village.

§117.04 of the Ordinance allows residents who

do not desire solicitations, in whole or in part, to

indicate such by posting one of three Notices at

their doorway. For your convenience these No-

tices are provided at right.

§117.05 states “It shall be the duty of every so-

licitor going onto any premises in the village

upon which a residence as herein defined is lo-

cated to first examine, if attached, the notice

provided for in §117.04 and be governed by the

statement contained on that notice. If the no-

tice states "Only solicitors registered in Win-

throp Harbor are invited", then the solicitor not

possessing a valid certificate of registration as

provided for herein shall immediately and

peacefully depart from the premises; and if the

notice states "Solicitation by distribution of

printed materials is not invited", then the solici-

tor whether registered or not, shall immediately

and peacefully depart from the premises and no

printed materials shall be distributed by such

solicitor; and if the notice states "No solicitors

invited", then the solicitor, whether registered

or not, shall immediately and peacefully depart

from the premises.

Any person violating the provisions of the Ordi-

nance may be fined $50 on the first offense and

$100 on subsequent offenses. The Ordinance

includes other provisions and is available for

review at www.WinthropHarbor.com.
