At
the June 25th board meeting Mayor Wasowicz announced that
the Justice Willow Springs Water Commission
plans to start phase 4 of the Wesley Fields Water Project. This comes
as good news for the residents as the water mains, hydrants and
related equipment are being updated to today's standards. These updates
will provide a more than adequate water supply to the area for those
residents and for combating any fires in the area for years to come.
The mayor and trustees ask for your patience and understanding during
the construction. This is a major improvement for that area and the
long term benefits outweigh any short term inconveniences that may
incur.
J.W.S.W.C
notifies the village and residents of
phase 4 of the Wesley Fields Water Project in a notification letter.

the residents of the Wesley Fields area for their patience and
understanding during the construction of this improvement project
On Thursday,
November 15, 2007, village officials including Mayor Wasowicz,
Clerk Kathy Svoboda, Trustees Mary McGee, Jeff Kranig, Ed Jurgel
and assistant Building Commissioner Jim Lurquin took part in a
Muscular Dystrophy Association
fund raiser. This fund raiser has individuals, under mock
conditions, arrested, booked and sentenced!
After being arrested by the Justice Police Department,
transported to the lockup and court location (Ruffled Feathers
Country Club and Golf Course in Lemont) they were sentenced
for one hour to raise "bail" in order for their charges to be
dropped and to be set free. Each offender's "bail" was set at
$1300. They were photographed in inmate clothing behind bars!
They made phone calls in order to raise "bail". We are happy to
report that they all raised their "bail" and then some and all
charges were dropped! In total they raised over $10,000 for the MDA.
Brodnicki School Principal Leah Wakefield also took part. Her
students gave her help with her bail and were amused with here
striped inmates costume as the Justice Police Officer led her
around to all of the classrooms before hauling her away to jail!
Other
communities, including Oak Lawn, Hickory Hills and more, had officials
that participated over several days of the mock
lockups.
All the
participants were happy to be involved with this worthwhile
event, had fun with it and raised a lot of money to help the MDA
On Monday,
January 28, 2008 before the Village Board
meeting the Village announced the 1st, 2nd
and 3rd place winning designs for this
year's Vehicle Sticker Design Contest. Each winning design
received an inscribed plaque from the Village and a U.S Savings bond. In addition
The Justice Chamber of Commerce also
presents the winners with an inscribed
plaque. Chamber of Commerce President Orley
Betcher was on hand to help Mayor Wasowicz
present these awards.
Trustee Rich Berkowicz coordinated the contest with
Superintendent Dr. Jon Nebor, assistant
Superintendent Dr. Blair Nuccio of the Indian Springs
School District 109, principals and the
faculty of both schools. The school district
and the schools really look forward to this contest every
year. It gets the school kids involved in
their community and makes them feel that
they are a part of it. The school children
from the Brodnicki and Wilkins schools were
asked to submit artwork for the design of
the village vehicle sticker with this year's
theme being "Think Green" in respects to the
environment.
Many designs were submitted this year, 185 in all, which is the highest
total ever. The Village and the Chamber of Commerce
wish to thank all of the kids who
participated. The task of narrowing the
field of entries down to three was not an
easy one as many excellent and creative
designs were submitted. The 1st, 2nd and 3rd
place winners
are listed below with the winning design.
After the
presentation ceremony, attended by many
residents, the winners families, faculty
