The 4.87-acre gas station — Lenny’s Food N Fuel Harlem Avenue LLC, owned by Leonard McEnery — operates at 19420 S. Harlem Ave. in unincorporated land adjacent to the Village. Lenny’s Food N Fuel operates as a gas station for automobiles and trucks, a convenience store with drive-up food service, two restaurants, a carwash, and an outdoor dispensing and filling station for propane tanks. As part of the annexation, Trustee Michael Mueller said a schedule is in place for McEnery to bring the property “into compliance with Village building and sign codes with some noted exceptions.” At the Sept. 17 meeting, a public hearing was held prior to the board meeting, during which residents turned out to share their concerns that annexation of the gas station would lead to the business owner seeking liquor and video gaming licenses for the site. Trustee Michael Glotz addressed the gaming concerns during his comments at the end of the Oct. 1 meeting, and said that any gaming violation would likely lead to suspension or revocation of the license.

FROM THE LOCKPORT LEGEND Chamber luncheon helps small business in Lockport grow With an aim to help small business owners in the city, the Lockport Chamber of Commerce organized an informative session as part of its luncheon Sept. 25 with members of the U.S. Small Business Administration. “Since I took charge, I wanted to reinstate some programs that started to slip away,” said Annette Parker, executive director at the Lockport Chamber. “One of those programs was our chamber luncheons. I started looking for topics and speakers that have a direct impact on businesses. I have done some work in the past with the Small Business Administration and, since the Lockport Chamber has so many small business owners as members, I thought the SBA would be a great topic of interest. “Our luncheons are open to members and nonmembers, as well, so the information could also be useful to anyone looking to start up their own business.” The presentation by Phyllis Shelton, economic development specialist at SBA Illinois, focused on programs and services, including counseling, access to capital and contracting. “I enjoyed speaking to the Lockport Chamber,” Shelton said. “It was a great experience. The attendees were excited to learn about the SBA’s programs that can help them start and expand their small businesses.” For more information on the SBA and its programs, visit www.sba.gov.

FROM THE NEW LENOX PATRIOT Shoppers spend Sunday sifting through Community Rummage Sale Twister, Goofy Golf Machine and shelves full of children’s books lined the front steps of the New Lenox Public Library on Sept. 29. An overnight downpour that lasted well into the morning did not put a damper on the thrift shopping of local residents who showed up to the Friends of the New Lenox Public Library’s Community Rummage Sale. In front of the library steps and scattered along the New Lenox Commons, approximately seven groups set up tents to sell items ranging from Halloween costumes to random knickknacks to old children’s toys to used tools. The event — originally sold out at 120 booths and scheduled for Sept. 28 — benefitted the Friends’ mission to support special programs at the library. Janice Schwarz, a volunteer member of the friends, said the group has helped fund library projects such as the Digital Media Lab over the years. She has been involved with the organization over the years because of her devotion to the library. “You see how much the library does for the community; it reaches out to everyone in the community, regardless of race or religion,” Schwarz said. “It does the most to help people.” Reporting by Kyle LaHucik, Freelance Reporter.
