WEEK IN REVIEW Sycamore greenlights beautification committee

By SHANE TAYLOR

Staylor@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – A resident-led city group meant to help improve Sycamore’s aesthetic was greenlit last week, with plans to start up a Citizen’s Beautification Committee in early August.

The Citizen’s Beautification Committee will serve as an advisory body to the mayor, Sycamore City Council, city manager and other city officials in developing plans for projects involving city beautification. While the group won’t have any policy-making power, the seven-member body is expected to make recommendations to the city council to consider.

The committee’s inception was approved unanimously by the Sycamore City Council on July 5, with an effective start day of Aug. 1. The seven members will be appointed by the mayor this summer.

Sycamore City Manager Michael Hall said city staff will begin the process to appoint members at the next scheduled meeting.

Although no members have been chosen, Ward 1 Alderman Josh Huseman said he would be interested.

City officials said they hope to give Sycamore residents a voice by joining the committee.

According to city documents, committee members will serve a term of three years

and up to nine years total. Meetings will be held on a regular basis on a schedule that will be determined by the members.

“This group would get together to suggest these things and then bring it forth to the city council for approval,” said Hall.

The committee would also facilitate the city’s existing facade improvement program, which allocates public dollars to area businesses, developments and buildings through council approval.

The committee is also expected to work with city personnel to create beautification project proposals that enhance the city’s appearance, documents show, and, if needed, solicit volunteers for project implementation.

Ag author Gabe Brown to speak in Sycamore Shaw Local News Network SYCAMORE – Gabe Brown, one of the pioneers of the current soil health movement and author of the book “Dirt to Soil: One Family’s Journey Into Regenerative Agriculture,” will be in Sycamore on July 15 for a forum at the DeKalb County Farm Bureau’s Center for Agriculture.

The public is invited to attend the event hosted by the DeKalb County Soil and Water Conservation District.

It will be held from 9 to 10:30 a.m.

Gabe Brown and his wife, Shelly, and son, Paul, own and operate a diversified 5000-acre farm near Bismarck, North Dakota. Their ranch consists of native perennial rangeland along with perennial pastureland and cropland. Their ranch focuses on farming and ranching in nature’s image.

The Brown family holistically integrate their grazing and no-till cropping systems, which include a variety of cash crops, multi-species cover crops along with all-natural grass finished beef and lamb. They also raise

pasture laying hens, broilers and swine. This diversity and integration has regenerated the natural resources on the ranch without the use of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides and fungicides.

With over 2,000 people visiting the ranch annually to see this unique operation, the Browns believe that healthy soil leads to clean air, clean water, healthy plants, animals and people.

Brown and his ranch have received many forms of recognition for their work, including a Growing Green award from the Natural Resource Defense Council, an Environmental Stewardship Award from the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, and a Zero-Till Producer of the Year Award, to name a few. Brown also has been named one of the 25 most influential agriculture leaders in the United States.

Shaw Local News Network DeKALB – Stage Coach Players’ production of Agatha Christie’s murder-mystery, “A Murder is Announced,” will open Thursday, July 14, and run for two weekends.

Directed by Mandi Sester, “A Murder is Announced,” tells the story of the house of Letitia Blacklock, called Little Paddocks, where a murder is announced in the local paper to take place there later that evening. It causes curiosity as some members of the community come to call, wondering if a murder will truly take place.

At the precise time suggested by the announcement, a stranger opens the door, the lights go off, a gunshot is heard and when they come back on, the stranger lies dead on the floor. Enter Inspector Craddock and amateur sleuth, Miss Marple, both with plans to ferret out the guilty party.

The show stars Mandy Westcott as Miss Marple, Bernie Schuneman as Inspector Craddock, and Donna O’Hagan as Letitia Blacklock. Cast members include Richard Christensen, Leigh Foulk, Luke Harmon, Susan Johnson, Korey Miller, Scott Montavon, Joleigh Reiss, Julia Woodward and Tasha Yunker.

Show times will be at 7:30 p.m. July 14 to 16 and July 22 to 23, and 2 p.m. July 17 and July 24 at the Stage Coach Theater, 126 S. Fifth St. in DeKalb.

Tickets cost $15 per person or $13 for seniors and ages 13 and younger. Tickets can be purchased online at www. stagecoachplayers.com or by calling the box office at 815758-1940.

Stage Coach Players encourages, but does not require, play attendees to wear masks. Guidelines will change if the state of Illinois COVID-19 guidelines change.

COVER STORY

HEALTH SCREENINGS DOWN

Why Northwestern Medicine doctors say that’s not good

By SHANE TAYLOR

Staylor@shawmedia.com

and KELSEY RETTKE

krettke@shawmedia.com DeKALB – In the past two years, the COVID-19 pandemic forced doctors and area hospitals to delay routine health screenings amid viral surges and overburdened hospital workers.

Now, medical experts are urging patients to return to preventive screenings to keep up with preventive care.

Among those who had their screening pushed was Carolee DeBall of DeKalb, a registered nurse for 41 years including 35 at Northwestern Medicine Kishwaukee Hospital. In 2018, she underwent a routine screening for breast cancer but missed it in the fall of 2019, thinking she might be able to get in soon after.

However, 2020 had other plans for the health care field, and as the COVID-19 pandemic swept the nation, DeBall missed her planned screenings that year, too.

In September 2021, back on track, DeBall had a mammogram done, and her doctors asked her to return for additional screenings. In the first week of October 2021, she had a biopsy.

“My diagnosis was then finalized after that biopsy,” DeBall said.

Ductal carcinoma in situ is the form of cancer that was detected. DCIS is the presence of abnormal cells inside a milk duct in the breast. It’s considered the earliest form of breast cancer, stage 0. The cancer was noninvasive and hadn’t spread out of her duct.

However, DeBall still needed treatment.

“My partial mastectomy was done the second week of November 2021,” DeBall said. “My five radiation treatments were done in February 2022.”

Since then, DeBall has seen three doctors inside the Northwestern Medicine system, including Dr. Faisal Saghir, and said she has had positive reports.

Saghir, an oncologist at Kishwaukee Hospital, said he’s seen many patients with stories similar to DeBall’s. After the pandemic began, the hospital put routine screenings on hold for several months in 2020 as surges overwhelmed local hospitals.

He said data shows a return to “pre-COVID-19″ levels of screenings in recent times. That’s why he and other doctors are urging patients who may have missed a screening to return to the hospital.

“You can’t make up for the lost time. We can’t go back in time and change things,” Saghir said. “If someone is still on the fence regarding screenings, I think they should be coming to get screened because it is a safe environment now.”

Northwestern Medicine also recently started offering a new free monthly screening that tests for artery disease. The test itself is a simple, noninvasive ankle brachial test, which checks for peripheral artery disease by comparing the blood pressure in a patient’s upper extremity, like an arm, with

More common in older patients, peripheral artery disease is a chronic condition in which narrowed blood vessels reduce blood flow in a person’s limbs, which can cause leg pain and an increased risk of heart disease.

“Sometimes people have unexplained leg pain or leg aching, and we would want them screened,” said Dr. Christopher Berry, who specializes in interventional cardiology with Northwestern Medicine.

Berry recommends that those who are age 50 or older or have diabetes get the arterial screening.

The condition itself, while incurable, can be managed if diagnosed. Patients with peripheral arterial disease often are at a greater risk of heart attack, stroke or amputation.

“It may help with a diagnosis or cause of symptoms like leg pains,” Berry said. “If you do identify, you may reduce risk of worsening leg problems like amputation, and you’re identifying general artery disease. By managing it, you can lower the patient’s risk of heart attack or stroke.”

However, officials with Kishwaukee Hospital said patients aren’t seeking the simple test anymore.

“We’ve seen a dramatic decline in this screening post COVID,” said Kim Waterman, a spokesperson

for the Northwestern Medicine health system.

Waterman said Kishwaukee and Valley West hospitals averaged about 13 patient screenings per month before the pandemic. Now, current rates average 1.2 patients a month.

Berry said his patients often also are recommended to go through a cardio rehabilitation program, where walking exercises can improve their prognosis. More severe cases may require surgery in some instances.

For those on the fence about returning to a hospital environment in the pandemic era, Saghir said patients should rest assured that area health care providers are maintaining a safe environment. He said screenings are paramount to overall long-term health.

“It is OK to come to the hospital and get screens,” Saghir said.

As a health care worker herself, DeBall said she understands life can get in the way of routine health checkups. For her, the return to screenings was worth it.

“I am so glad that I had gone ahead and just got myself back going again on my normal routine,” she said. “It’s just so important for yourself. It’s so easy to get so busy with life that you forget about those normal screenings.”

Next NIU STEM Café explores food innovation Shaw Local News Network AURORA – Two Brothers Roundhouse will host the next Northern Illinois University STEM Café, exploring the topic “Food Innovation: Taking a New Product from Start to Finish.”

The event will take place at 6:30 p.m.

Tuesday, July 12, at Two Brothers Roundhouse, 205 N. Broadway in Aurora. It is free and open to the public, with food and drink available for purchase from Two Brothers.

The food we eat often takes a complicated path to our table. A new commercial food product requires standardization – it must arrive at your restaurant table exactly the same, every time. Staff shortages and pandemic-related supply chain issues have made this process more complex than ever.

At the café, the public will have the

chance to hear from an experienced food manufacturing professional to learn the ins and outs of commercial food development and gain an idea of the teams of people involved from concept to design to execution. Mark Chaplin, vice president of operations, process improvement and strategy for OSI Group, a food and beverage manufacturing company, will tell stories and give examples from his more than four decades in the industry.

The audience also will hear from an experienced retail food manager to learn what it takes to continue to keep the doors open and provide consistent, quality products and services to customers. John Boswell, NIU director of retail dining, will reflect on some of the changes that have occurred in retail dining since the pandemic began and on the future of the industry.

Although no report was given to the police, it was heard about the street this morning that several cars driven to the carnival grounds last night were minus tires and accessories when the owners appeared to drive their autos home. One car had the windshield broken in the haste of the thieves in order to take the spotlight off. Tires, some taken from the wheels, floor mats, spotlights, motor meters and tools are among the accessories said to be taken.

Two speeders were brought in by Motorcycle Policeman Housewert yesterday. Albert LeRoy, of Cedar Rapids, IA, was arrested and assessed a fine of $10 and costs by Police Magistrate Glidden on charges of speeding in the city limits. William Prentice was also arrested and assessed the same fine for the charges of speeding.

James Moorhead is building a corn crib that will be one of the best in this vicinity as well as the first of its kind. The corn crib will be made of fireproof hollow tile, making the corn crib fireproof. When the work is finished, the Moorhead farm, south of Malta, will be one of the most up-to-date farms in the community.

According to the records at the fire station, April 24 was the last time the Sycamore fire department was called on in the city. Since then the members have answered one call in the country with the chemical tanks but have not had the truck out except on practice runs. The last fire was at the home of John McDiermaid on Main Street. As yet no word has been received from the Stutz fire truck company in regard to the holding of a demonstration in Sycamore for the purpose of showing the farmers the need of a community chemical truck. For several weeks the farmers have had more fires than Sycamore and a truck would be of great help to farmers.

One of the short pieces on the gates at Fourth Street was broken last night when a car was driven into it. The short piece was repaired this morning but the crossing watchman had his hands full taking care of the traffic until the job was completed.

Spontaneous combustion is believed to be the cause of a $15,000 fire on the James Preston farm between Belvidere and Genoa Thursday night. It is said that new mown hay was put in the big barns, at high temperature, with the buildings dry as tinder. Over 100 volunteers worked to save the buildings but with apparently little success. Considerable stock was burned, including a stallion said to be valued at $3,000.

The two articles were sold yesterday afternoon at an antique auction on the farm of Clarence Baie, midway between Hinckley and Waterman. The antiques were owned by

Collections from the parking meters for the past week made on Monday amounted to $481.75. This was less than the usual weekly collection but was considered good because the meters were not in use for the Fourth of July holiday. During the week that the Memorial holiday occurred, the collections amounted to $491.98.

Intake from the meters on June 30 was $506.26, which was also below the average. Prior to the last two weeks, the collections averaged about $550 per week.

Northern Illinois University athletic director Robert J. Brigham has told the University of Illinois that he is no longer a candidate for that school’s vacant athletic director’s post. Brigham said Wednesday night that he informed the Illinois Athletic Association Board of Directors that he intended to remain athletic director at NIU. He has held this post since Sept. 1, 1968.

The Sandwich City Council last night accepted an annexation of a portion of the Lett property on the northeast corner of the city. The annexed area in Countryside Village will contain about 26 lots according to

the sub-divider. Reimann Avenue will be extended to the newly annexed area by the city. Further road construction, installation of sewer, water and street lights will be the responsibility of the sub-divider.

Fairland castles are appearing on the west campus of NIU this week as preparations are under way for the midwest convention of Tupperware dealers. Not rivaling Altgeld Hall in beauty, but merely of a temporary nature, the open air structures are for a fun night for the 2,000 conferees.

The descendants of Wilhelmenia and Christian Baie, numbering 132 gathered July 9 at the Sannauk Forest Preserve for the 50th family reunion. The first reunion was held in Martin Rissman’s woods.

Bessie Chronopoulos said she just wanted to see kids have a chance to be kids. That is the main reason DeKalb’s mayor has made a personal commitment toward helping economically needy children in the community. Shortly after she was elected to office, Chronopoulos promised to donate a portion of her increased salary to a local charity, an increase that would amount to about $3,500 over this fiscal year. It appears that the choice for her donation could not have been more timely.

Natural gas seeping from a stove in a vacant Suburban Estates apartment caused an explosion at 7:30 p.m. last night. No one was injured but the explosion blew out two windows and caused structural damage to the building, said DeKalb Fire Chief Pete Polarek.

The Milan Township School District 83 stands empty at the corner of Perry and Tower roads in rural DeKalb County. The building is a one-room schoolhouse that Northern Illinois University plans to relocate and restore for educational and community purposes.

Durbin tours Meta’s $1B DeKalb Data Center

By MEGANN HORSTEAD mhorstead@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Months after several high-profile corporations announced plans to move regional-based headquarters out of state, Sen. Dick Durbin said during a visit to Meta’s DeKalb Data Center on July 7 he believes Illinois still has a bright economic future.

Durbin made a stop in DeKalb to tour the progress now underway at the construction site of Meta’s $1 billion data center. Meta is the parent company of social media giant Facebook.

The facility, located along Interstate 88 and Gurler Road, is expected to bolster the local economy by hundreds of jobs after an expansion was announced in April.

“What Meta is doing here in DeKalb is amazing,” Durbin said after the tour. “It’s incredible. Thank goodness they chose DeKalb and Illinois to be part of it. This is a massive investment. It is a game-changer for a lot of lives.”

The Democratic senator’s DeKalb stop was one of several planned in northern Illinois. During a stop in Dixon, Durbin also said he believes lawmakers “ought to draw a line” on assault weapons days after a Fourth of July mass shooting in Highland Park left seven dead and dozens more injured.

The Meta DeKalb project promises to employ about 200 operational jobs and is enlisting the services of 1,200 construction workers.

In response to spring announcements that several high-profile businesses, Caterpillar, Boeing and Citadel, plan to move their Chicago-based headquarters

Sen. Dick Durbin (right), stands nexts to DeKalb Mayor Cohen Barnes and addresses members of the press July 7 at the construction site for Meta’s DeKalb Data Center. out of state, Durbin said he believes Illinois still offers a compelling pitch for businesses.

“I think we continue to sell our strongest asset: the people who live here,” Durbin said.

The lawmaker said it’s been his experience while working to entice businesses to put down roots in the state that Illinois labor is a selling point.

“I think back on all the different ventures I’ve been involved in trying to attract businesses,” Durbin continued. “The successful ones all say, ‘We like your people.’ They’re hardworking, they’ve got a work ethic, they can learn on the job, they can

improve themselves and take pride in their work.

That is I think a real showcase of the Midwest right here when it comes to our workforce.”

DeKalb Mayor Cohen Barnes said Meta is committed to providing good paying jobs.

“They’re all excellent opportunities, excellent jobs for everyone,” Barnes said. “So, well above what you’re asking.”

DeKalb city leaders worked for more than a year to entice the social media giant – which also owns Instagram, Facebook, Messenger, WhatsApp and the virtual reality platform Oculus – to put down roots on the city’s south side.

Among the offers made to help lure the company here, DeKalb County area governments worked together to approve a multi-decade tax incentive for Meta.

The data center is privy to a 20-year, 55% property tax abatement plan, already approved by the DeKalb City Council and agreed upon through the DeKalb County Enterprise Zone, a program administered by the DeKalb County Economic Development Corp.

The tax incentive includes a stipulation of 50 tech jobs with a starting wage of $38.50 an hour to qualify for tax abatements within the first few years, documents show.

Durbin said the tour of Meta’s data center prompted him to get a good impression of the city.

“I’m bedazzled by what I’ve seen here,” Durbin said. “Ferrara’s right across the street. Meta’s undertaking here. … It’s an exciting experience here to come and see all these new investments. You can see a bright future for this area.”

Shaw Local News Network MALTA – Kishwaukee College was recently recognized by the Illinois Community College Trustees Association with the 2022 Equity and Diversity Award. The honor recognizes the commitment of Kish’s Board of Trustees and leadership to achieve diversity, equity and inclusion in the college’s education programs.

ICCTA officials announced the award at the organization’s annual banquet on June 10 in Chicago. At the banquet, Laurie Borowicz, Kish College president, accepted the award and recognized the effort the college has made over the past several years to improve the achievement gaps for all Kish students.

“In 2019, we produced our first annual Data Book. It pointed out some of the challenges we had as a college in student success,” Borowicz said in a news release. “While our overall student college completion rate was increasing by double digits, this was not the case for some of our student populations. It’s hard to argue with numbers – we had work to do.”

In the same year, Kishwaukee College joined the Illinois Equity in Attainment Initiative, the signature initiative

Kishwaukee College recently received the Illinois Community College Trustees Association 2022 Equity and Diversity Award. College Board members, leadership, faculty and staff were present at the ICCTA’s annual banquet to accept the honor. of the Partnership for College Completion. This partnership between 25 other colleges and universities in Illinois allowed Kish leadership to take a hard look at the institution’s achievement data. Matching trends with the rest of the state, it was clear Kish needed to provide more assistance to its low-income students and students of color.

The first step was creating a strategy. Kish officials worked with the

ILEA and sought feedback from students and the community to design the Kishwaukee College Equity Plan, including a new equity statement: “We are committed to a sustainable culture of equity, focused on respect and fairness, in all aspects of the Kishwaukee College experience.”

Along with the college’s commitment to equity, the plan focused on six strategies, including developing an

How to Clean a Sump Pump: The Ultimate Guide

If you have a sump pump in your home, it’s essential to know how to clean it properly. A dirty or clogged sump pump can lead to many problems, including water damage and flooding. Cleaning a sump pump is relatively simple, but it’s important to do regularly.

We will walk you through the steps necessary to clean your sump pump safely and effectively.

To start, you will need to gather a few supplies. You will need a garden hose, a bucket, and some gloves. If your sump pump is particularly dirty, you may also want to use a brush or scrubber.

Once you have gathered your supplies, it’s time to get started! unplug the sump pump from the power source. Once you’re sure the power is off, disconnect the pump from the discharge pipe. Then, remove the sump pump from the basin. The bucket comes in handy to prevent any water from spilling out.

PRO SOUND productions

Next, remove the sump pump outside and hose it down to remove debris or grime. If necessary, use the brush or scrubber to remove any stubborn dirt.

Be sure to pay special attention to the impeller, as this is often where dirt and debris collect.

Established in 1992

Cleaning the sump pump basin with a rag is the next step. Make sure to remove any collected debris. If you have a screen, clean that off as well. Once the basin is clean, you can reassemble your sump pump and put it back in its rightful place.

Once the pit is clean, replace the lid and reconnect your sump pump to the power source. Finally, test the pump by pouring water into the pit. The pump should activate and start draining the water out of the pit. If everything is working correctly, you’re all done!

Cleaning your sump pump is essential to maintaining your home and preventing water damage. Call us at 877-977-8989 to repair or replace your sump pump in the Greater Chicagoland Area.

Intercultural Center, cultural competency training for employees, improved hiring practices, enhanced wraparound services, creation of a Math Success Program, and implementation of the Office of Instruction Retention Project.

ICCTA President Jon Looney praised Kishwaukee for its record of accomplishment in its equity endeavors.

Early returns on Kish’s initiatives are positive. Students have received mentorship, tutoring, textbooks, supplies, financial support, food support and more. Completion and retention rates among underrepresented groups are improving.

Many activities and processes are now systemized into Kish’s operations, and planning continues to expand under the leadership of a nine-member diversity, equity and inclusion core team.

The Illinois Community College Trustees Association was founded in 1970 to support all public community college trustees through information exchange, training and advocacy to assist them in effective leadership locally and statewide.

Social media: It’s not just for kids anymore METRO CREATIVE Perhaps due to the popularity of social media among a generation of young people who grew up with it, platforms such as Instagram and Facebook are often associated with people born in the 21st century. However, a 2018 study from the Pew Institute found that 65 percent of adults between the ages of 50 and 64 used Facebook and 68 percent used YouTube.

Social media is often on the receiving end of negative attention, but it’s also a potentially valuable tool that can help men and women over 50 stay connected with their communities. That’s not always so easy for adults who no longer have children at home. And as its name suggests, social media can help users connect with others who share their interests. Such connections also can be hard to make for adults over 50.

Adults over 50 may be more comfortable with social media now than they were a decade ago, but it’s still a good idea to brush up on basic security measures that can help men and women protect their privacy as they utilize platforms like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

• Protect your personal information.

No social media user has the right to access your personal information, including your address, date of birth or other data unique to you. Avoid interacting with anyone who requests personal information, employing the function to block such users from connecting with you when possible.

It’s also important to keep information about travel plans private. For example, sharing details of an upcoming vacation can serve notice to potential criminals that no one will be in your house, making it a potential target for burglars.

• Aim for quality, not quantity, when building social media networks.

Avoid accepting friend requests from individuals you don’t know. Cyber criminals often gain access to victims via social media, so limit your social media network to people you know and trust.

• Turn off location information. The technology behind social media is impressive and even makes it possible to determine where users are when they tweet or post to other platforms.

But many users, especially those concerned about their privacy, don’t want to share location information with anyone, much less strangers. Turn off location information and routinely double check to make sure it’s still turned off.

• Discuss others’ privacy concerns before posting to social media. Social media isn’t for everyone, and some people may not want photos of themselves or their children posted to platforms like Facebook or Instagram.

Prior to posting pictures or information about other people, confirm that they’re OK with you doing so.

Adults over 50 are engaging with social media. But no matter how comfortable users become, it’s still best to keep various social media safety protocols in mind.

County police agencies talk event safety in wake of July 4 shooting

By KELSEY RETTKE, krettke@shawmedia.com

MEGANN HORSTEAD mhorstead@shawmedia.com

and SHANE TAYLOR

staylor@shawmedia.com In the wake of an Independence Day mass shooting that left seven dead and injured dozens more as families lined the streets of Highland Park to watch a holiday parade, DeKalb County law enforcement officials said security is top of mind ahead of planned festivals still to come this year.

While there’s no parade planned during the three-day music festival, DeKalb Corn Fest is expected to draw thousands to downtown next month.

The annual affair set for Aug. 26 to 28 is the area’s largest summer festival.

Security is provided by DeKalb police, and Chief David Byrd said the department will plan accordingly.

“We’re going to do a threat assessment, of course, that’s first,” Byrd said.

“Then, we’ll start working on staff, start talking about resources and then we’ll put our plan together as we’ve

Crime scene tape hangs from a pole near a child’s bicycle as members of the FBI’s Evidence Response Team Unit investigate in downtown Highland Park on July 5, one day after a gunman killed several people and wounded dozens more by firing an AR-15-style rifle from a rooftop onto a crowd attending a Fourth of July parade. done the years in the past.” ing almost 100 bullets from a semiautoRobert E. Crimo III is accused of fir- matic rifle-style gun he bought legally

into a crowd at the city’s Independence Day parade from a rooftop and was taken into custody hours later after initially getting away from the scene.

Along with seven people who were killed, about 40 more were injured as a result.

Organizers with the DeKalb Park District elected to continue Fourth of July events and a fireworks show at Hopkins Park in DeKalb despite the shooting, promising in a statement that “the public’s safety is our No. 1 priority.”

Several municipalities in suburban Chicago opted to cancel as a precaution while the the alleged shooter remained.

Crimo – who’s been charged with seven counts of murder – reportedly confessed to the killings. Police reported on July 6 that Crimo left the chaotic scene July 4 and drove more than two hours north to Madison, Wisconsin, with a rifle, contemplating another shooting spree. He drove back to Illinois and was later arrested after a short pursuit in Lake Forest, about five miles north of Highland Park.

• EVENT SAFETY From page 18

‘Prepare for the worst, hope for the best’

Securing the area at high-density crowd events such as a parade or downtown festival is about high visibility, said DeKalb County Sheriff Andy Sullivan. The sheriff’s office typically assists area municipalities with security for large events as needed, he said. The Sandwich Fair, set for Sept. 7 to 11, is a priority for the sheriff’s office.

“We always take extra precautions

for upcoming events, it’s important to have a clear plan of action, with visible eyes on the ground, and sometimes in the air, Byrd said.

The DeKalb Police Department also has a drone that can provide aerial tactical assessment.

“Sometimes there are events where you have to actually try to get overhead fixed wing aircraft to fly over and see if they can do some … photos so you can see what the crowd looks like, how big it is, where any threats could possibly hide,” Byrd said. “Those are the things you could do prior to the event.”

Echoing Sullivan, boots on the ground is always a priority, Byrd said.

Crimo reportedly evaded capture in the aftermath of the massacre by dressing as a woman and blending into the crowd, where first responders had taken part in the parade minutes before.

For the Fourth of July fireworks show, DeKalb and Northern Illinois University officers worked in tandem to provide a threat assessment detail, Byrd said. If the need arose, he said he would solicit additional aid from Illinois State Police.

“But one of the big keys is the high visibility,” Byrd said. “The more officers, the more eyes we have looking for suspicious persons or packages.

We also have access to bomb-sniffing

How to Protect Your Senior Loved Ones from the Heat

It’s hot outside! And for seniors, this can be a difficult time. The National Weather Service has put out a heat advisory, warning people of the dangers of high temperatures.

Especially for seniors, it is essential to take precautions against the heat.

Let’s discuss some ways to protect your loved ones from the heat.

First and foremost, it is vital to stay hydrated. Seniors should drink plenty of fluids, even if they are not thirsty.

Water is the best choice, but fruit juices and sports drinks can help. It is also important to avoid alcoholic beverages, as they can dehydrate you.

Secondly, seniors should stay out of the sun as much as possible. Wear loose-fitting, light-colored clothing and a hat or other head covering if they must be outside. Also, try to schedule outdoor activities for early morning or evening when it is cooler.

Finally, seniors should stay in a cool place as much as possible. They should keep blinds or curtains closed during the day and use fans or air

CERTIFIED PROFESSIONAL TRAINING

conditioners to keep the air moving. If their home is not air-conditioned, they may want to go to a shopping mall, library, or movie theater to cool off.

Another important way to protect seniors from the heat is to ensure they take their medications as prescribed.

Some medicines can make people susceptible to heat stroke or other problems in hot weather. If you have any concerns, talk to their doctor or pharmacist.

It is also essential to check on elderly neighbors or relatives to ensure they are staying cool and hydrated.

If you see someone who appears to be in distress from the heat, call 911 immediately. Heat-related emergencies can happen quickly, so it is crucial to act fast.

Seniors need extra care during hot weather. Following these tips can help keep your loved ones safe and healthy.

dogs. We don’t actually have them in DeKalb, but we have access to them.

But you can request a bomb-sniffing dog do a walk-through the event prior to the event where if they alert on any area of the structure depending on where you’re actually having the event, you can make some changes or cancel the event.”

In 2013, countywide agencies including the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office, NIU police and the DeKalb and Sycamore police departments created a multi-jurisdictional SWAT team. The sheriff’s office – which has had its own SWAT team for 30 years – takes point for the countywide SWAT team, Sullivan said.

The team is also on hand for large events, Sullivan said.

To prep for a large outdoor event, Sullivan said police usually conduct a threat assessment, calculate staffing levels needed and assess whether any credible threats exist prior to the event. SWAT team members can be on hand to provide surveillance as an undercover officer in the crowd, and drone operation.

Sullivan said event cancelations are usually decided by its organizers.

“You can do more with credible intelligence,” Sullivan said. “Without any intelligence, you always err on the side of caution. So, you prepare for the worst, and you hope for the best.”

Byrd said the City of DeKalb did not consider canceling the Fourth of July fireworks display in town.

“At the time, the only consideration for cancellation was only weather,” Byrd said. “We didn’t have any credible threats to the DeKalb area. The threat assessment will drive your decision-making.”

While the shooter evaded police, the Federal Bureau of Investigation released a person of interest profile that stated Crimo had ties to DeKalb, Elgin and Rockford.

DeKalb County law enforcement said on July 4 they weren’t aware of any known connections and hadn’t been contacted directly by Highland Park investigators.

at the Sandwich Fair and provide extra security,” Sullivan said. “That’s always been our priority, and we will continue to do that.”

While municipalities such as DeKalb look to the DeKalb Police Department to provide point on threat assessments, deputies could be called in if asked, Sullivan said.

“When the time comes we meet with those individual municipalities like different police jurisdictions before the events, and if they ask for assistance we always provide that,” Sullivan said.

In addition to crowd control, having a police presence is key, Sullivan said.

“As we can see with the Highland Park incident, when you have someone who’s willing to execute a plan like he did, it can be very unpredictable for law enforcement,” Sullivan said. “At that time, you’re trying to interdict something from happening.

If it does happen, you’re trying to reduce the outcome as far as who’s injured and how many. You try to stop that threat as soon as possible.”

The next few months will bring events such as DeKalb Corn Fest downtown, the Fizz Ehrler Memorial Turning Back Time Car Show in Sycamore, the Waterman Summerfest and Antique Tractor Show, Bacon Fest in Genoa and Cortland Summer Fest.

Local Bookcase Project completes 11th year Shaw Local News Network SYCAMORE – The DeKalb/Sycamore Bookcase Project has made bookcases for children for the past 11 years.

Every year in the spring, a group of volunteers craft 50 bookcases for 50 children, each complete with an engraved metal nameplate of the child’s name. The project continues to promote literacy by building handmade bookcases, filling them with books, and donating them to preschool-age children. The bookcases are gifted to children through a partnership with Two Rivers Head Start in Sycamore. Two Rivers provides childcare and services for youth up to 5 years old.

The DeKalb/Sycamore Bookcase Project came to fruition in DeKalb County thanks to former DeKalb Mayor John Rey. He heard about the project in another state and wanted to bring the idea close to home. ”We understand the desperate need for literacy in children during those early years,” he said in a news release. “That basic foundation can have a long-lasting impact well into their adult years. And a personalized

The fund has provided more than $10,000 in support to several organizations focused on literacy. Organizations include the DeKalb and Sycamore public libraries, the Jerry L. Johns Literacy Clinic, Neighbors’ House, Kishwaukee Family YMCA, and more.

The DeKalb/Sycamore Bookcase Project is managed by a team of local volunteers, led by Rey. Book donations are accepted throughout the year at DeKalb County Housing Authority, 310 N. Sixth St., DeKalb.
