CRYSTAL LAKE Plans to build a new public library will not come before Crystal Lake voters this spring.

Tuesday was the deadline for government boards to pass resolutions putting referenda on the April ballot.

All the pieces are not yet in place to present a plan to the public for consideration," Library Director Kathryn Martens said in an email Thursday.

Library officials are leaning toward constructing a new building on its current location, a project that would cost about $30 million depending on the direction the board heads, after considering 24 locations laid out in a 228-page site assessment report issued in 2013.

The report looked at rebuilding on the current site, renovating either the old Wal-Mart and Garden Fresh stores on Northwest Highway, building next to the Dole Mansion or being on the west side of Three Oaks Recreation Area near the lake.

The former Wal-Mart and Garden Fresh locations topped the report's recommendations but were ultimately "deemed to be fatally flawed" because they did not meet the criteria for the highest and best use of the land and would remove real estate from the commercial market and also remove the revenue opportunities," including sales and property taxes, Martens has said.

Mixed-use proposals for two locations along South Main Street also were eventually nixed, one because the site was too slow when the shoreline was taken into consideration and the other because a sale price couldn't be negotiated.

If the board does ultimately decide to stick with its current location, all options are on the table, Martens said. Its members are looking at a parking garage and purchasing additional property, whatever is the most cost-effective approach in terms of both construction and long-term operations.

The library has operated out of its current location since 1952, though the oldest part of the structure dates to 1965. Additions were constructed in 1984 and 1995.

While a 2007 space assessment and reconfiguration bought library officials more time, there are structural problems with the building, in particular the soil density underneath the eastern side of the building where the administrative offices are housed, Martens said. Many elements of the building are also at the end of their life.

PHOENIX -- Super Bowl XLIX is more than the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks playing for the Vince Lombardi Trophy under the bright lights in Glendale.

It also happens to be about the lights as well.

University of Phoenix Stadium will illuminate the Feb. 1 Super Bowl like no other previous NFL championship game before. The Patriots and Seahawks will be the first teams to compete for the title under an LED lighting system, which the stadium installed prior to the Arizona Cardinals and San Francisco 49ers game in September.

The use of LED lights for the game comes at a time when attention to detail has been critical in an NFL game. Look back at this postseason, where two games involving the Dallas Cowboys came down to calls made by the referees.

The company that brought the new lights to Glendale, Ephesus Lighting, designed and installed these lights to provide television audiences and replay officials more vivid detail.

Scott Norton, director of marketing and public relations at University of Phoenix Stadium, said media companies like ESPN and Fox have praised the stadium's upgrades.

"The lighting is just amazing for slow-motion [replay] and HDTV," Norton said.

The installation of the LED lights cut down the number of lighting fixtures by more than half, saving about 929,000 watts needed to power the fixtures, according to a case study Ephesus Lighting conducted.

Doug Drotman, the spokesman for Ephesus Lighting, said that number of watts is equal to about 15,000, 60-watt light bulbs. In layman's terms, that equates to about the same amount of energy needed to power about 750 homes each using 20 of those bulbs.

In all, stadium officials expect the lights to save about 65 percent in electrical costs.

If youd love a new kitchen, but would rather not take on a complete remodel, our cabinet refacing process is the perfect way to get an updated kitchen without the mess, hassle, time and expense of a total kitchen tear out.

The Classic Dun-Rite method is a process of utilizing your existing cabinets to achieve the look and feel of a new, updated custom kitchen. We pioneered an exclusive process that is not just simply sticking laminate or veneer on your cabinets, as seen in some refacing approaches. Instead, quarter inch thick solid wood is hand-fit to the existing wood faces, and quarter inch matching ply is attached to end panels and undersides. Next, all new custom-built, doors and drawer fronts of the highest quality are installed, and all is finished to match.

In a sense, we build a new custom cabinet around what you already have. Our process is extensive and long-lasting, and maintains a very high level of product integrity. As such, we call it resurfacing rather than just refacing.

Summary:In a recent interview, John Zachman said: 'If we as enterprise architects are not doing diagnosis and prescription, then we're the technicians; we're just taking x-rays.'

Enterprise architects should stop operating as if they are x-ray technicians, and more as doctors -- diagnosing and prescribing solutions for enterprise problems, versus building models that only serve as temporal snapshots of the situation. Photo: Joe McKendrick

That's the word from John A. Zachman, creator of the highly regarded Zachman Framework, in a series of interviews posted at the site of iCMG, an EA services firm. In a fascinating and provocative discussion with Sunil Dutt Jha,CEO of iCMG, Zachman compared enterprise architecture to medicine. Too many of today's EAs are not taking on the roles of doctors as they should be, he opined.

"The doctor does the diagnosis, and then the doctor prescribes the solution, the prescription," he said. "Then you apply the prescription, then you see if it fixed the problem or not. So if the doctor is only ordering an x-ray by the x-ray technician, which is basically a model of your body, it doesn't do anything."

The fundamental problem in the enterprise community, Zachman said, is "nobody is doing the diagnosis, they're just taking x-rays. If people think that enterprise architecture is a practice of building models, that's like taking x-rays. What the enterprise architect ought to be doing is reading the models, figuring out what the problem is, then prescribing three, or five, or 20 possible solutions. If we as enterprise architects are not doing diagnosis and prescription, then we're the technicians. We're building models, we're just taking x-rays, we're taking snapshots."

The Zachman Framework lays the foundation for enterprise architecture, providing a series of classifications based on "What, Where, When, Why, Who and How," cross-indexed by organizational perspectives, including "Executive, Business management, Architect, Engineer, Technician, and Enterprise" perspectives. In the interview, Zachman pointed out that the framework is comparable to the periodic table of elements, which are a series of immutable elements (or "primitives") from which an infinite amount of composites can be created.

"There is one periodic table," he said. "There are n different compounds. "I happened to stumble across the periodic table for enterprises."

The laws dictated by the framework for enterprise architecture are the same as for any other form of architecture, Zachman emphasized. "I did not invent this framework," he said. "How, when, who, what and why has been around for 7,000 years. All I did is see the pattern. I put enterprise names on the same artifacts that are relevant for describing any object, whether it's an airplane, a building, a locomotive, or whatever it is."
