NEW POLICE STATION OPENED
QUICK FACTS
• This 47,000 square foot state of the art facility is an
adaptive reuse of a blighted industrial building that
was vacant since 1998.
• This project has been delivered on time and under
budget. The total project budget was $15,835,000 and
the total project cost came in at $15,741,429.
• Over $1 million dollars of construction contracts went
to Bensenville businesses.
• As a result of being a green community and building
the police station to LEED Gold standards, we will
receive a 70% federal rebate on all interest paid for
these bonds. Savings are estimated to be at a minimum $550,000 and can grow to $1,500,000 by the time the
bonds are paid out.
• By delaying a year for the second tract of bonds we achieved savings of $1.25 Million due to the issued bonds
being bank qualified. (Bank Qualified is a designation meaning the purchasing bank gets to deduct certain
expenses involved with the issuance of the bonds and thus offer a reduced interest rate.)
• The Village was awarded $117,788 in grants to reimburse energy efficiency upgrades through DCEO’s Illinois
Energy Now program.
• Illinois Clean Energy has awarded $25,000 for the LEED Gold Certification process already underway.
• New headquarters is ADA compliant, allows reports to be taken in private, provides for a safer environment for
officers, prisoners and the general public, facilitates modern and professional police investigations, operations
and training, and includes a large multi-purpose room that allows for more interaction with the public at
meetings and that also serves as a fully equipped emergency operations center.

New Bensenville Citizen Patrol Making a Difference
On June 20, 2015 Bensenville Patrol units responded to a report of a hit-and-run crash involving a motorcycle. The offending vehicle was described by dispatch as a blue pick-up truck. Citizen Patrol Officers Angel
Ramirez and Ramona Westfall were on duty at the time and were monitoring the radio traffic. Ramirez and
Westfall noticed a blue pick-up truck travelling east bound on Green Street from York Road. They followed
the pick-up truck at a safe distance and were able to relay the license plate information to Bensenville
dispatch via their assigned telephone. Bensenville/Franklin
Park Patrol units were informed and responded. Ramirez
and Westfall continued to follow the suspect vehicle into
Franklin Park while in constant telephone contact and relaying information to Bensenville dispatch. When the suspect
vehicle was delayed by a freight train, Bensenville/Franklin
Park Patrol units caught up to the vehicle.
Because of new Bensenville Citizen Patrol Officer Ramirez
and Westfall’s observation skills, understanding of their duties, and volunteer service the offender of this accident was
apprehended. We would like to thank Citizen Patrol Officers Ramirez and Westfall for their service. If you are
interested in joining the Citizen Patrol please visit www.bensenville.il.us or call 630-350-3455

Nuevo Mexico 2000 celebrated the
opening of their new location at 11 West
Main Street in Downtown Bensenville
in late June. Please help welcome and
support this new business. Plus, keep
an eye out for the opening of a new
Popeye’s Chicken at 511 W Irving Park
Road this fall.
NOISE RELIEF FROM TRAINS
The Quiet Zone has begun in Bensenville. What does it
mean? The trains will not use their horn when they are approaching the crossings at York, Center, Addison, and Church
Roads. This also means pedestrians must be aware before
crossing and remove headphones to listen for the train. The
following are suggestions:
1. Obey all signals at these crossings, while driving or walking.
2. Remain behind the safety gate arms.
3. Do not attempt to cross as the safety gate arms lower or while bells or lights are activated.
4. Cross only on public designated crossings.
5. Turn off your cell phone or MP3 players when near the tracks. Texting or other distractions can be deadly.
6. Do not rely on the scheduled arrivals of trains thinking you can still cross and beat the train.
7. Always EXPECT a train before crossing even when signals indicate otherwise.

FENTON CREST RECEIVES AN UPDATE
The Fenton Community High School District 100 Board of Education in partnership with school
administration is proud to unveil an updated version of the Fenton crest.
The Fenton Branding Committee, comprised of school board members and school administration,
worked diligently to capture the tradition of the crest while modernizing the graphic. With the
facility construction project in progress, it became evident that the files currently used to reproduce
the graphic would need to be updated to match current printing trends.
The Board was strongly in favor of keeping current school colors and the Bison mascot to
maintain the strong tradition of Fenton High School.
The updated Fenton crest has updated icons within the four chambers, a letter F and a ribbon
distinguishing 1917 as the year Bensenville first began providing a high school program. The
crest’s four chambers mirror the mission, beliefs and vision of Fenton High School. See descriptions below.
Our belief is that education in the
Arts is vital to student success
because it opens the door to diverse
thinking and innovation. Fenton High
School has a rich history in the Arts which
includes curricular
and after school
programming in music, drama, speech,
writing and multiple
media art. With the
understanding that attitude is a critical factor in determining whether

THE FENTON DRAMA DEPARTMENT PRESENTS,
UP THE DOWN STAIRCASE OCTOBER 22-24
The Fenton Drama Department is proud to present, Up the Down Staircase on October 22, 23 and 24 at
7:00 pm in the Lewis-Huffman Auditorium at Fenton. Tickets are $5 and can be purchased at the door.
Taken from the popular novel by Bel Kaufman, Up the Down Staircase is the story of Sylvia Barrett, a
first year English teacher at an inner city school with hopes of inspiring students to become writers and
peeking their interest in classical literature.
However, she quickly learns that this noble
pursuit will have a
number of obstacles from students and
administration alike. Written in 1964, Up the
Down Staircase spent 64 weeks on the New
York Times Best Seller list and sold over 6
million copies. As a play, it is one of the most
produced high school plays of all time, providing students with a number of memorable
roles and audiences with as many laughs. Mark your calendars for Fenton’s production which promises
to be a wonderful evening of entertainment.
Senior Citizens Invited to a Free Matinee Performance
of Up the Down Staircase
An exclusive matinee of Up the Down Staircase will be performed for Bensenville and Wood Dale senior
citizens on Saturday, October 24 at 1 pm. There is no admission charge and light refreshments will be
served during intermission. Senior citizens interested in attending can make reservations by calling
630-860-8620 from October 12-16. Please leave a message with your name, phone number and the
number of people in your party.

ecological restoration plan.

Community members helped develop
a new Strategic Plan for District 2
at four meetings in April and May.
Parents and community leaders from
other governmental bodies worked
in small teams with the Board of
Education and District 2 staff. They
reviewed the District’s strengths and
looked for ways to improve. The new
plan’s goals include increasing afterschool club opportunities, revising
grading standards, and improving
communication to parents. The Board
adopted the team’s recommendations
in June, including the Mission
Statement and six fundamental Belief
Statements, below. The District is
placing special emphasis on the
second belief statement, about
community partnerships.
Mission Statement
Maximize the unique potential of each child by honoring
a natural curiosity and igniting a desire to learn
Belief Statements
We believe that student learning is maximized when:
The child is at the heart of all decisions
Partnerships across school, family and community
are established and maintained
Dedicated and talented educators are recruited,
mentored and retained
The curriculum is rigorous and innovative
Instructional practices ignite a child’s natural curiosity
The school environment is physically and emotionally safe
BLACKHAWK MIDDLE SCHOOL PHASE II RENOVATIONS ARE COMPLETE
Newly-renovated areas greeted students on the first day of classes at Blackhawk Middle School on August 24. The
auditorium has new seats, a new sound system, new stage curtains and is freshly-carpeted. A new learning center
has been constructed on the north end where rooms 160 – 162 used to be. It’s triple the size of the old learning
center, with space to build things, to record video presentations, to hold meetings, and of course to use the library
collection. New classrooms have replaced the old learning center.
VOLUNTEER WITH PROJECT CARE PLUS
The Project CARE Plus program (Citizens Active in Reading Education Plus other subject areas) is gearing up for the
new school year! Project CARE Plus is an academic mentoring program that is embarking on its 20th year and as always we are in need of volunteers. If you love working with children and
you are able to give 1 hour a week to help in areas of Reading or Math
this program is for you! Project CARE will be hosting a brief, but informative training session on Thursday, September 3rd starting at 10:00am at
the Lifelong Learning Center. The program officially begins on Monday,
September 14. If you are unable to attend the seminar on September 3rd
and are interested in becoming a Project CARE mentor, please contact:
