WEEK IN REVIEW DeKalb schools OK new security manager

By WES SANDERSON

Shaw Local News Network Correspondent DeKALB – The DeKalb School Board made multiple decisions last week related to school safety, including adding a security manager to the payroll and updating its contract for school resource officers.

The board voted to create a position in the district’s budget with the sole focus of safety consolidation and discussed the need for School Resource Officers in district buildings. The decisions come behind a national backdrop of stronger school safety in the wake of the school shooting on May 24 in Uvalde, Texas. Currently, Congress is considering gun reform legislation along with more funding to harden schools from mass-casualty attacks.

The board voted 3-2 to approve the “safety-security manager” position. The person hired would serve “as the leader of

the district in implementing best practices, problem-solving and facilitating planning related to school safety within all district facilities,” according to a job description submitted to the board. The approved salary range for the position is $75,000-$90,000 depending on the candidate’s qualifications.

The decision to create the safety-security manager position stems from a November approved safety and security audit. The audit results are being reviewed by district administrators, but have not yet been released to the public. Under the current administration setup, security and safety responsibilities are divided up over multiple administrative positions, according to documents submitted to the board.

District officials voiced some concern related to the full-time Security Manager position on district budgets. The additional position places the district’s Full

Time Equivalent at 26% for fiscal 2026-27, said Cynthia Carpenter, district director of business and finance.

Board member Sarah Moses said the district’s high FTE could impact district plans to build new district facilities in the future.

“I’m uncomfortable with the FTE that we’re hiring,” Moses said. “Our major goal for facilities was to build or to reduce classroom size. I think we really need to be smart and prioritizing our spending now and what [CUSD 428] is spending.”

On top of approving the safety manager position, the board approved the contract for two additional School Resource Officers. The board approved the contract 4-1 with Moses being the lone no vote.

Moses said she’s opposed to a larger police presence in DeKalb schools and feels this could affect people of color in the district more than it will build trust.

Sycamore mulls towing facility proposal

By SHANE TAYLOR

Staylor@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – Sycamore residents showed up again last week to voice concerns about a potential towing service coming to town, though the business hasn’t yet won full approval to operate.

The Sycamore City Council on June 20 gave its initial support of a proposal to bring Lovett’s Rite-Way Rebuilders Inc. to 531 E. Sycamore St. However, final approval won’t occur until as early as July. Lovett’s Towing & Recovery also has a location at 1837 E. Lincoln Highway in DeKalb. The Sycamore facility would operate as a towing service with on-site

vehicle impoundment, according to the development proposal.

While Ward 2 Alderwoman Virginia Sherrod and Ward 4 Alderman Pete Paulsen supported the proposal this week, five other councilors voted to hold final decisions until next month, including Ward 3 Alderman Jeff Fischer, Ward 4 Alderman David Stouffer, Ward 2 Alderman Chuck Stowe, Ward 1 Alderman Alan Bauer and Ward 3 Alderwoman Nancy Copple.

Ward 1 Alderman Josh Huseman was absent.

Marc Doty, a retired Sycamore firefighter, said he’s a driver for Lovett’s and has been employed there for more than

12 years.

“Many improvements are planned for the property,” said Doty, who spoke in support of the proposal.

Echoing a Sycamore Planning and Zoning Commission meeting a week prior, several Sycamore residents spoke to the council against Lovett’s setting up shop in town.

Some concerns raised included whether the facility would increase traffic in the area, fears over safety of neighbors and nearby children during the facility’s operation, whether the land would flood, speeding on the roadway, noise and potential damage to adjacent streets.

mhorstead@shawmedia.com DeKALB – ”Love is love,” read many of the signs hoisted in the air June 23 for the second annual Pride march in DeKalb.

The free event – put on by the Egyptian Theatre, Safe Passage, Sycamore Library, Queer-Oriented Rural Resource Network, Grace Place, Hometown Sports Bar & Grill, Youth Outlook, 94.9 WDKB and S.O.A.S. – was attended by dozens.

Jeanine Holcomb, marketing and communications director for the Egyptian Theatre, said the turnout for the event speaks volumes to the community’s willingness to accept the LGBTQIA+ community.

“We’ve seen already with the start of this event that people are coming back and they want to have pride here,” Holcomb said.

The march started downtown at the Egyptian Theatre along Second Street before turning down Locust and First streets and heading back to the theater.

Kelsey Graham of Sycamore was among dozens prepared to hit the streets of downtown DeKalb. She wore a cape to showcase pride for the LGBTQIA+ community. Graham said the community’s

Gretchen Sprinkle and her 5-yearold son, Jack, were excited to come out to the event. Sprinkle said that as an ally, she hoped her son would learn a bit about the struggles of oppressed people in an age-appropriate way.

“He sees heterosexual relationships all the time,” Sprinkle said. “This is no different. This is more about showing him how to support people in our community that might not feel supported.”

Trinity Alexander of DeKalb said his favorite part of the event is seeing how it enables him to see how far the community has come with accepting people who identify as LGBTQIA+.

Roger Keys will share his research on the history of World War II drones and the people who operated them during the next Brown Bag Lunch/Local Lore program on Thursday, July 7.

Lecture uncovers WWII drone history in DeKalb Shaw Local News Network DeKALB – Roger Keys grew up putting together toy plane kits, so when he stumbled upon an “unusual-looking” model at a garage sale more than 30 years ago, he knew he was on to something special. Years later, Keys would discover that his find was actually an Interstate TDR Drone, an early unmanned aerial combat vehicle otherwise known as an “assault drone.”

The quest for more information led Keys to research the history of World War II drones, once kept top-secret, and the people who operated them.

On Thursday, July 7, Keys will be the featured speaker at the Ellwood House Museum and DeKalb County History Center’s monthly lecture series, Brown Bag Lunch/Local Lore.

Keys will recount his experience visiting the workshop of a TDR engineer in

Wisconsin, the reunions of the men of STAG 1, the Navy air group that operated the drone in the South Pacific, and his efforts to rebuild part of this chapter in our country’s history.

Outside of his research, Keys is a restoration specialist, refurbishing homes, churches and public buildings throughout the Midwest. He also has served as board member for the Illinois Association of Historic Preservation Commissions, former president of the Ellwood House Association, and a consultant for the Glidden Homestead.

The one-hour program will take place at noon at the DeKalb County History Center, 1730 N. Main St., Sycamore. A virtual option is also available.

For more information and to register, visit ellwoodhouse.org/lectures.

Brown Bag Lunch/Local Lore is funded in part by the Mary E. Stevens Concert and Lecture Fund.

DeKalb seeks artists for public mural program

By MEGANN HORSTEAD

mhorstead@shawmedia.com DeKALB – The City of DeKalb is inviting area artists to submit proposals to create public art murals throughout the area.

In partnership with the Citizens Community Enhancement Commission, the city seeks proposals for public murals to be funded by a grant secured this past spring. Deadline to submit a proposal is July 13, according to a news release.

The call for artists marks the beginning of a multiyear venture to create a public mural program that demonstrates a commitment to enhancing the aesthetics of the city, promoting civic pride, highlighting the community’s diversity and promoting a spirit of belonging through public art, the release states.

“The public mural initiative is a wonderful opportunity for artists to participate in the cultural vitality of the city of DeKalb,” commission Chairman Brad Hoey said in the release. “Thanks to the city recently being awarded a T-Mobile Hometown Grant and to the investment of other community partners, we are able to launch this latest public art project and look forward to developing additional arts and culture initiatives in the future.”

Among the two city-owned properties selected to host murals are retaining walls along the South Annie Glidden Road railroad underpass and the south wall of the City Hall building on Lincoln Highway.

The retaining walls along the railroad underpass provide access to large walls along both the north-

The south wall offers space to a site that overlooks a public parking lot in the middle of the city’s downtown.

While preference may be given to DeKalb area and Northern Illinois University applicants, submissions are open to local and regional artists to showcase their talent.

Successful completion of the program will allow

After having a sworn jury in the box on Friday ready to try the case of Fisk Motor Company against Owen E. Lucas and Milton Shandelmeier doing business as Lucas Garage, before Judge Irwin the case was settled out of court, the jury was discharged and the action dismissed. The plaintiff sought to recover of the defendants the sum of $500 for a Chevrolet automobile which it claimed was purchased by one R. J. Murphy who acted as agent of defendants. This was denied by the defendants but the jury did not get a chance to pass upon it as the defendants no doubt thought it was easier to settle which they did.

Owing to the unprecedented demand for their product at this time, the Marvel Tire & Rubber Manufacturing Company will be unable to close down on Friday for the big decennial celebration at DeKalb tomorrow, according to officials of the company. It had been previously planned to close down for the pageant and resume operations on the 4th of July, thereby giving the employees an opportunity to elaborate both events properly, but owning to several mishaps in the past two or three weeks, orders have piled up so that it will be necessary not only to work on Friday, but as much of the force as can be held will be asked to work the Fourth.

Charles Putman has been busy the last few days tearing out the front of the old Putman harness shop. Mrs. Putman recently sold his stock to Orville Shaver and J. C. Naber, of Malta, who has been having a sale on the stock. In tearing down the old building and remodeling it, DeKalb loses an old landmark. The building occupied by Mr. Putman was one of the last blacksmith shops in DeKalb and figured in the earlier history of the city. It is rumored that the shop will make place for a cafeteria to be run by Mrs. James Clark, who recently rented part of the building to be used as a woman’s exchange.

Unless the practice ceases, kids that go swimming east of the coal chutes and flip freight trains coming and going, are apt to be arrested. There are many boys who go to the slough twice or three times a day to swim and always make it a practice to catch a ride on the freights pulling away from the chutes. Efforts have been made to warn the kids of the danger, but of no avail. An appeal has

Area residents are being warned about restrictions against following fire trucks. This is an offense and tickets can be issued by a police officer, said Fire Chief Allan Harling of Maple Park Fire Department. Harling said fire in past weeks have brought crowds of people to the scene. This hampers firefighting operations, and traffic backups slow water tankers going to and from fires.

The traffic also hampers volunteer firemen on the way to the fire.

The job of moving the furnishings of the Burlington depot in Hinckley has been completed and passengers and freight are now handled from the new location about 200 feet east of the original site.

Burning insulation around one of the main steam pipes leading from the boiler to the factory caused the fire department to make a fast run to Wurlitzer’s at 5:25 o’clock this morning. Low water in the boiler was believed to have superheated the steam in the pipes. Minor damage was caused to the insulation and boxing.

Firecrackers are beginning to cause the police department a lot of trouble.

Despite the fact that firecrackers are now illegal in Illinois, DeKalb’s small fry and some of the bigger ones too have managed to obtain a supply and complaints are beginning to come in almost every night from indignant householders and citizens disturbed by the exploding fireworks. Police Chief Ben Peck emphasized that anyone caught throwing firecrackers around will get a free ride to the station and will stand a good chance of paying a fine for the privilege.

The American Automobile Association said today motorists can make summer vacation trips anywhere in the United States without danger of being stranded because of a gasoline shortage.

Early doctors in DeKalb County were a hardy and resourceful lot and compared with modern day knowledge and techniques their methods probably were quite crude. History is pretty sketchy when it comes to knowledge of those early purveyors of pills and potions, but the “History of Medical Practice in Illinois” names quite a few of them with the places of practice. According to the best available records, at least two doctors were in DeKalb County as early as 1835. Mr. Henry Madden practiced in Brush Point, northwest of Sycamore, from 1835 to 1856, and then moved to Malta where he remained until 1867.

The Illinois Environment Protection Agency, division of Land Pollution Control, has approved Rochelle city government plans for a landfill site on the Johnson farm west of Creston. The 1,000-acre site, purchased for $1,200 per acre, is south of Route 38 and is presently leased by Leslie Hill. It has not yet been determined when work will begin on the landfill project.

The copies of the history were furnished with a 50-year gold seal, made by Stella Plapp and her daughter, Faith Jones, Aurora.

A real estate broker calls it the “honeycomb effect.” If so, the land around DeKalb and Sycamore is dripping with honey. In fact, farmland prices in DeKalb County are so sweet some farmers are making candy out of the local real estate market. Cornfields on Bethany, Peace and Keslinger roads and in the Sycamore Prairie Business Park are destined to become the most lucrative of the county’s honeycomb.

DeKalb Police and the FBI are still searching for a man who robbed the First of America Bank branch at 1602 Sycamore Road Friday morning of an undisclosed amount of money. Police describe the suspect as a black male with a medium build, about 5-feet, 9-inches tall. The suspect entered the bank shortly after 10 a.m., wearing a pair of black pantyhose over his head. Brandishing a small club and using foul language, he demanded money.

The University of Illinois Extension Center in DeKalb will be shut down within the next year as part of a plan to save money and increase productivity among the extension system. The County Extension Office in Sycamore will remain open and is not affected by the realignment plan. Five educators and two secretaries at the DeKalb Center, however, will be affected by the extension shake up.

DeKalb encourages feedback on Comprehensive Plan Shaw Local News Network DeKALB – The City of DeKalb will host two open houses at the DeKalb Public Library to gather feedback on a draft of the city’s Comprehensive Plan update.

The first open house will take place from 4 to 6 p.m. Thursday, June 30, and the second will be 4 to 6 p.m. Thursday, July 14.

A comprehensive plan communicates a community’s goals and objectives, provides a blueprint for future land use, and serves as the basis for zoning, subdivision and land use codes.

A comprehensive plan typically consists of three components: • A history that includes an inventory and analysis of the community; • A formulation of goals and objectives for a period of time, usually five years; and • A future land use plan that explains

the ways the community wants to grow.

The city’s draft plan also includes Urban Design Guidelines that make recommendations regarding the appearance of the community as well as the layouts and functional relationships of streets, neighborhoods, private and public buildings, common areas and open spaces.

Drafts of the Comprehensive Plan documents can be viewed ahead of the open houses on the city’s website and at this link: https://tinyurl.com/2p9fxcsp Community members can direct questions to Planning Director Dan Olson at 815-748- 2361. Those who cannot attend the open house can email comments on the draft plan to dan. olson@cityofdekalb.com or mail them to Dan Olson, Planning Director, City of DeKalb, 164 E. Lincoln Highway, DeKalb IL 60115.

Staylor@shawmedia.com MALTA – Almost 100 area schoolchildren flocked to Jonamac Orchard on June 22 for a summer day camp to learn all about farm safety and rural living from the DeKalb County Farm Bureau.

Held for the first time since 2018, the camp made a return to Jonamac Orchard, 19412 Shabbona Road in Malta, after the COVID-19 pandemic put the event on hold in 2020.

The safety camp started in 1994 and has been held every other year since. The orchard has hosted the camp since 2000.

Sponsored by the DeKalb County Farm Bureau with support from Country Financial and Conserv FS, the summer session also included a chance for campers ages 8 and 12 to learn more about resources from area safety agencies.

Riley Frieders and Jaedyn Martz were two of the kids who attended the daylong camp.

When asked what her favorite station was, Frieders, 7, of Sandwich said “the PTO station,” which was later explained as farm machinery from both Frieders and Martz, who were in the same group together. The station was run by Young Farmers, an area

All the children had the chance to look at the inside of the tractor, and learn how it operated.

Martz, 10, of Maple Park said her favorite activity was a grain safety station.

“The whole purpose is to just edu-

cate the kids in a fun way,” said Anna Schelkopf, Farm Safety Camp event coordinator and assistant director of communication at the DeKalb County Farm Bureau.

The biannual activity is meant to educate youth in DeKalb County’s more rural communities on how to put

safety first, whether they’re living on a farm or not.

“Not all of them live on farms, but all of them have something relatable,” Schelkopf said. “Even if you don’t live on a farm, you are learning about fire safety, or managing an injury, or who to call for help, how to ride your bike safely.”

The campers were divided into groups and spent about 20 minutes at each station learning about ATVs, farm animals, bike safety, chemicals, electricity, farm machinery, fire, first aid and rescue, grain bin and grain wagons, hearing, lawn mowers and garden tractors and semi-trailer truck safety.

A safety station hosted by Tom Newquist and Dave Kohlhagen showed the children how to operate lawn mowers safely.

Newquist, owner of DeKalb Lawn and Equipment in DeKalb, and Kohlhagen, a regional sales manager for The Toro Co., said they have been helping out with the camp for almost 20 years.

This year’s turnout was among the largest the farm bureau has seen at the camp, which normally ranges from 60 to 100 children, Schelkopf said.

“These are some of our highest numbers,” she said. “Probably because we had that [pandemic] gap in there.”

By SHANE TAYLOR Staylor@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.

Among those who had her 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.

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 of 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,” said DeBall.

Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is the form of cancer that was detected.

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

DeBall needed treatment still, however.

“My partial mastectomy was done the second week of November 2021,” said DeBall. “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 similar stories. After the pandemic, they 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,” said Saghir. “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.”

He said screenings are paramount to overall longterm health.

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,” said DeBall. “It’s just so important for yourself. It’s so easy to get so busy with life that you forget about those normal screenings.”

New $8.3M offer for county nursing home New offer on the table

By KELSEY RETTKE

krettke@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – A Skokie health care management company has proposed $8.3 million to purchase the struggling DeKalb County Rehabilitation and Nursing Center, becoming the second company to make a bid for the county-owned facility.

The latest offer tops an initial offer put forward a month ago by $200,000, documents obtained by the Daily Chronicle through the Freedom of Information Act show. An initial offer of $8.1 million was made by Evanston-based Illuminate HC for the nursing home last month, which faces a more than $7 million budget deficit.

The DeKalb County Board has for more than a year grappled with what to do about the future of the nursing home amid financial pressures, management changes and low resident numbers.

County nursing home staff have expressed concern that a sale to a private buyer could mean loss of benefits for existing employees and lowered quality of care for residents. County officials, however, maintain the facility’s current state isn’t sustainable financially, and a sale could be needed to help offset budget constraints.

According to the proposal, Saba Healthcare LLC, listed at 3531 Howard St. in Skokie, about an hour east of DeKalb north of Chicago, has offered the county $8.3 million to purchase the DeKalb County Rehabilitation and Nursing Center.

The health care management company would own the facility and then lease with an operating entity, according to the proposal.

The Saba Healthcare letter of intent was sent to DeKalb County Administrator Brian Gregory in an email from Ray Giannini, senior managing director for Marcus and Millichap at 5:25 p.m. Wednesday, June 15, according to records obtained by the Daily Chronicle.

Marcus and Millichap was hired for $10,000 in January by the DeKalb County Board as a consultant to help county officials better understand options that lay before them amid the nursing center’s financial woes.

Marcus and Millichap has marketed the facility since late April, when the board elected to begin the sale process.

Earlier this month, Giannini said he was initially approached by eight interested parties. However, after consulta-

tion and what he said was the parties learning more about its financial plight, only Illuminate put its offer in writing.

That changed June 15, however.

Upon receiving the email from Giannini, Gregory forwarded the Saba Healthcare letter of intent to the DeKalb County Board at 5:33 p.m. June 15, records show. The DeKalb County Board convened for its scheduled meeting at 7 p.m. that night, and the Saba Healthcare offer wasn’t listed on the agenda.

According to the Illinois Open Meetings Act, items intended for live meeting discussion must be listed on the agenda at least 48 hours prior to a scheduled meeting.

The letter of intent is dated June 15, and like the Illuminate offer, is non-binding. If the DeKalb County Board elected to sign either offer, the company would be expected to pay $20,000 up front as a non-refundable sign of good faith, records show.

Illuminate’s letter would come with a 45-day due diligence period which would include inspections of the facility, environmental and structural assessments among other procedures.

A letter of intent signed with Saba Healthcare would mean a 60-day due

diligence period, according to the proposal.

The DeKalb County Board is expected to deliberate over the matter at a special meeting in July. The board has traditionally scheduled a summer recess for that time. Continued contentious debate over the future of its nursing home, however, spurred the board to open up July for two expected meetings to discuss both purchase offers.

For the past 24 years up until Dec. 31, the nursing center was run by St. Louis-based Management Performance Associates, a firm that was under county contract. The firm, responsible for overseeing daily operations and creating the facility’s annual budget for County Board approval, declined to renew its contract in December.

An alternate option has also been put forward by county board members Scott Campbell and Bill Cummings.

Financial reports presented this month outline how the facility could right-size its budget issues by 2024 if it remained under county control. According to DeKalb County documents, the proposal includes a five-year look at what it would take to keep the facility under county control, including implementing staffing cuts and regular resident census growth.

JUNETEENTH DeKALB – The second annual Juneteenth celebration took place June 19 at Hopkins Park in DeKalb.

Juneteenth commemorates June 19, 1865, when slaves in Galveston, Texas, first learned of their freedom more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed.

The day, recognized for generations by Black Americans, has entered more widely into the mainstream in past years. President Joe Biden signed legislation in June

2021 that designated Juneteenth a federal holiday.

Co-sponsors included Northern Illinois University’s Center for Black Studies, Mortenson Construction, DeKalb County Community Gardens, The Rock Christian Church in DeKalb, Kishwaukee College and B.L.L.A.C.K. Inc. NFP, a nonprofit that stands for Black, liberated, leadership and community kinship. The nonprofit advocates to improve the lives of area Black residents.
