WEEK IN REVIEW

DeKalb residents sound off on north side development proposals

By MEGANN HORSTEAD

mhorstead@shawmedia.com DeKALB – DeKalb residents took to the DeKalb City Council meeting by the dozens Monday, July 25, to make their views known concerning proposals to redevelop the Blackhawk and Hillcrest lots on the city’s north side.

Some ideas floated for the lot and its redevelopment potential vary, ranging from a community center and walk-in clinic/urgent care facility to community food and education center.

The 4.87-acre lot, which is home to the former Campus Cinemas movie theater on Blackhawk Road and Hillcrest Shopping Center, came under the ownership of the city after being subject to neglect by previous owners. The properties have since been demolished and combined into an L-shaped lot with the intent to redevelop.

Among the dozens to comment on the redevelopment proposals was DeKalb resident Darryl Crum. Crum said he wants to know how the city’s plans could impact traffic along Ridge Drive and any of the other major streets.

“For us, if it increases traffic and the speed on traffic, this is not a good deal for us,” Crum said. “Our community will do damn near anything to get the city to pay attention to our traffic problems.”

Crum added that he would like traffic to be addressed in any redevelopment plan the City Council ultimately approves.

Mayor Cohen Barnes replied, saying

For us, if it increases traffic and the speed on traffic, this is not a good deal for us. Our community will do damn near anything to get the city to pay attention to our traffic problems.”

Darryl Crum, DeKalb resident the city is working to find solutions to the problems.

“Patrol is one of those that we know we need to increase,” Barnes said.

“That’s an issue citywide. But then also we’re working with our city engineer. I believe he just got the plans back to be able to put in a … median within Ridge that’ll be a choke point for vehicles that is at least going to cause people to start pumping the brakes and slowing down.”

DeKalb resident Joey Moore said she would like city leaders to consider beefing up their support for businesses that formerly occupied the Hillcrest Shopping Center such as Graham Cracker Comics. Businesses who were former tenants of the Hillcrest space were relocated by the city – which also fronted financial costs for the tenants – before demolition.

The comic book store now is a tenant at 901 Lucinda Ave. “There’s not a lot of promoting of those businesses specifically saying, ‘Hey, come on out. Look how exciting this area is. We have really cool things

PUZZLE ANSWERS puzzles on page 16

in that little pocket,’ ” Moore said.

Moore said she wants to see the city provide some marketing awareness to area business to encourage patrons, especially since the comics shop was one that was relocated.

Moore, referencing the Annie Glidden North Revitalization Plan, noted that the city has alluded to the idea of bolstering development along Lucinda Avenue as there are other spaces to develop beyond the L-shaped lot. She urged the city to step in and help address the issues.

“The ‘L’ is not the end,” Moore said.

“That’s not all of our space.”

Barnes acknowledged that there’s been a lot of discussion on the north side development proposals and what the city could do with the lots. He said city leaders are committed to opening up opportunities for the public to weigh in on the north side’s potential for redevelopment.

Representatives from Opportunity DeKalb, an area nonprofit working to spur north side development growth, are expected to host additional community listening sessions, but have yet to announce the details.

DeKalb city leaders will invite further discussion on this topic during the City Council’s Aug. 22 meeting.

Approval of a plan to redevelop the lots will ultimately remain in the hands of the DeKalb City Council to decide.

City Manager Bill Nicklas has said the city is eyeing a potential mixed-use development made possible through a public-private partnership.

DOWN AND DIRTY Youth learn about composting, insects as DeKalb County’s Safari Kids Camp kicks off

By SHANE TAYLOR

staylor@shawmedia.com KIRKLAND – Area schoolchildren got their hands dirty Wednesday, July 27, learning about insects, composting and the role worms play in sustainable food production during the kickoff of a day camp run by the DeKalb County Community Gardens.

The first of a two-day Sustainable Food Safari Camp began at DCCG’s Walnut Grove Vocational Farm, 33600 Pearl St., Kirkland. Campers ages 11-15 learned about composting, vermiculture and beneficial insects before boarding a bus to Klein’s Farm & Garden Market in Elgin and the Milk House in Pingree Grove for private tours and sampling at each location.

“This is the second year that we’ve done the sustainable food safari camp,” said Jackie DiNatale, associate director of DeKalb County Community Gardens. She said the camp is made possible by a grant through the Sustainable Research and Education federal program.

“SARE, it’s an agricultural grant to get kids out on the farm and see what’s happening,” DiNatale said.

The SARE program, which operates in four regions, offers competitive grants and education program funding throughout the country.

Illinois is included in the North Central region. The North Central sustainable agriculture research and education strengthens communities, increases producers’ profitability and improves the environment through grants and education.

During the first stop at Walnut Grove, DiNatale said not only did students learn about vermiculture, and composting, but they also participated in a beneficial bug hunt during which they identified bugs that are good for plants. Participants also took part in a garden vegetable scavenger hunt by solving riddles.

Jordan Hargrave, 12, of Kirkland said she liked to learn about the different types of vegetables. While on the scavenger hunt for those vegetables, Jordan’s sister, Hope Hargrave, 14, found one of the beneficial bugs that was included on the farm bug hunt, a praying mantis blending in among the vegetables.

One of seven other campers, Hunter Belanger, 14, of Esmond said he joined the day camp because he wanted to learn more about soil and enjoys learning about farm culture.

As 9:45 a.m. approached, the campers gathered near the entrance and boarded a bus provided by Voluntary Action Center.

At Klein’s Farm & Garden Market, campers learned about seasonal vegetables and sustainable weed management. At The Milk House, owners Clint and Brook Carey showed campers how to incorporate fresh local produce into ice cream flavors.

Day Two of the camp was planned at DCCG’s Genoa Area Community Food Hub, 415 W. Main St. in Genoa, where area chef and farmer, Bryan Flower, was set to work with students on basic kitchen skills and prepare fresh produce gathered at Klein’s Farm & Garden Market.

COVER STORY

FARM-TO-BOTTLE EXPERIENCE Waterman Winery & Vineyards celebrates 20 years of homegrown business

By CAMDEN LAZENBY

clazenby@shawmedia.com WATERMAN – The Tuntland family in Waterman has spent the past 20 years growing grapes in corn country and turning them into wine.

Waterman Winery & Vineyards Inc. will celebrate its 20th anniversary this weekend with an open house and open vineyard featuring a smorgasbord of activities and samplings.

“What’s really unique to the winery is that we only use our grapes to make wine and that’s pretty unusual for Illinois wineries, many of them have to source from California or New York,” said Trisha Tuntland, part owner of the winery.

The Tuntland family started their homegrown operation in March 1998 when they imported 400 grape plants from California, grafting the grapes onto thick stems in an effort to make them more robust. The majority of those grapevines, however, died within the first year. Determined to continue the journey the family had begun, the Tuntlands brought French-American hybrids to the vineyard.

Those plants have lasted. Today, they have 40 different grapes growing in the vineyard, and make about 18 different wines.

“The fact that we were actually able to plant French-American hybrid grapes and successfully get them to grow, that’s what’s really been able to drive the sustainability of the business,” Tuntland said.

The venture into the world of wine came about when Terrie Tuntland, then a science teacher, talked about what he’d like to do after retirement. This discussion happened over wine, and hearing his friend’s idea of making wine, he became enthused with the idea of growing his own grapes to craft wine on the property of his family’s century-old farm in DeKalb County.

Terrie’s wife, Lex Tuntland, also was a wine connoisseur, and before long the pair of Northern Illinois University graduates were attending wine workshops and traveling to universities across the Midwest to figure out how to make wine in northern Illinois.

Terrie Tuntland said they were told at the various workshops that they were wasting their time.

“You can’t do it in the Midwest because a lot of farmers use herbicides that will kill the grapes, and so a lot of guys told us don’t even try it, you’re

The Tuntlands pressed on through the discouragement and in late 2002 the family opened Waterman Winery & Vineyards for business.

“I feel really good about it. Especially when we started out and people said you couldn’t do it,” Terrie Tuntland said.

Trisha Tuntland, Terrie and Lex’s daughter and also an NIU alum, said the family’s unique approach to attracting visitors was to offer an authentic agricultural experience, enabling people to better understand how the growing operation has sustained itself for two decades. The vineyard frequently hosts educational events where small groups are able to learn more about how the farm-to-bottle wine operation works.

“It’s not only that you’re coming to taste wine but you’re coming to learn,” Trisha Tuntland said. “I think that’s one of the aspects, when people visit us they get excited for that reason, they always say ‘wow, this is such a neat experience.’”

It’s moments like those that Lex Tuntland said makes her the proudest.

“There’s moments where we share what we’re doing with the public and you can feel the interaction with the community,” she said.

Lex Tuntland said the business receives harvesting help from family and friends at the end of August and September when the grapes when are ripe.

On Aug. 6 and Aug. 7, the winery at 11582 Waterman Road, Waterman, will host an open house to celebrate 20 years of business. Guests will be offered a complimentary wine spritzer and given the opportunity to drive through the vineyards. Guests also can pop homegrown popcorn while the corn still is on the cob.

Lex Tuntland said she hopes people who may have visited when they first opened come back and taste what they now offer because the quality of grapes have grown over the two decades they’ve been open.

“The maturity of the vine becomes really peak in production and the flavors are good after about 10 years,” she said. “So it would be really great if some of the folks who haven’t visited us in a long time would come back and try the

wine again.”

In addition to those experiences, the Tuntlands have created what they’re billing as a soybean adventure. Terrie Tuntland said he thinks it’s important to teach people about the under-considered crop. The legume is grown on the farm, with one full-time employee outside of the family, alongside corn and the aforementioned grapes “Illinois is the top soybean producing state in the nation and yet there is no soybean festival in the state,” he said.

On Aug. 13, the winery will host the 5K Vineyard Run. Safe Passage of DeKalb County is a partner in the event and will receive a portion of the winery’s sales on race day.

For the Tuntland family, it’s about being more than just a place to drink wine.

“It’s about creating an experience versus what you might experience going to, for example, Cooper’s Hawk, where you’re just going into a building or restaurant,” Trisha Tuntland said.

“When you come to the winery you’re actually on a farm, you’re on a working farm.”

BRIEFS DeKALB – The DeKalb County Community Gardens was awarded a Reinvestment Fund Healthy Food Financing Initiative Grant of $200,000. According to a news release, the grant will be used for planning related to the construction of the Community Health Education and Food Center.

The Reinvestment Fund awarded $22.6 million in financial assistance to 134 projects through the 2021 round of America’s Healthy Food Financing Initiative Targeted Small Grants Program. The grants are designed to be one-time investments of capital into a food retail or food enterprise project and aim to unlock additional sources of capital, catalyze project sustainability, meet financing gaps, and/or enable deeper impact or project reach. With the COVID-19 pandemic revealing how essential grocery stores and their employees are to providing essential goods and services to communities, investments in the food supply chain can help create quality jobs, support local economies, encourage environmental sustainability and prioritize food system equity.

The DeKalb County Community Gar-

dens is one of five programs in Illinois to receive funding. The Community Health Education and Food Center will be the first of its kind in northern Illinois, with the 3-acre campus featuring a 25,000-squarefoot facility with a 9,000-square-foot greenhouse, one-acre garden, food aggregation and processing area for local enterprises, 2,000-square-foot commercial shared-use kitchen for food entrepreneurs, flexible indoor/outdoor market and garden and health centers, and space for social service agencies to share, farm-to-table restaurant which seats 150, classroom, meeting and event space and pre-K Childcare Center. The center is intended to be a community hub providing a connecting bridge linking together community, neighborhood,and university and provide careers, career training, food access, entrepreneurial opportunities, business training and social services.

9 on a self-supporting basis, a resolution drafted by the committee last month.

Announcement was made this morning that the band concert program which was called off last Tuesday night on account of the storm just after it had commenced will be given on the coming Tuesday evening at the stand where College and Augusta Avenues join, if the weather is propitious. It is understood that the program as ordinarily announced will be given on Tuesday night and the original plans will be carried out in every respect.

Announcement was made at the city hall this morning that work is expected to be started on the new paving in the northeast part of the city the first of the coming week by Gunn Graham & Company of Freeport, the successful bidders.

There will be considerable preliminary work to be done there, a member of the local improvements stated today he believed the big steam shovel necessary for part of the work will be ready to go to work Monday.

Fashionable bathing suits have overdresses of jersey which may be worn to the beach and discarded later when swimming. They are short and comfortable.

Mrs. Fred Housewert and baby are here with her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. William Wiltsie while her husband, Fred Housewert is in the city hospital in DeKalb with a broken leg which he received Sunday night west of DeKalb on Lincoln Highway in an automobile and motorcycle mix-up.

George Wahlgren has purchased the A. P. Freeman house on Main Street and will move with his family from DeKalb to Cortland this fall. Depot Agent Freeman will be on the pension list at that time.

Services celebrating the new pavement in the Ellwood addition came to a sudden halt last evening when a heavy downpour of rain commenced.

Although the weather was not very promising during the early part of the evening there were many on hand for the evening’s entertainment. The DeKalb Military band, which was going to give a concert following which they were to play for a dance to be held on the pavement were on hand and played three selections before the rain came in such torrents that it was impossible to carry on the program. The last selection

Local police agencies have only a few clues regarding the theft of 13 cars from DeKalb, Sycamore and Genoa during the past four days. Two of the cars stolen were from Sycamore, two from Genoa and nine from DeKalb. In addition to the stolen cars, DeKalb and Genoa police have been receiving complaints in the morning that cars have been ransacked.

Most of the cars stolen had been left with either the keys in the ignition or with keys left in the car.

Perry Fisk, of the Fisk garage, has received two carloads of Fords within the last few days, now a very unusual thing due to the railway strike and the shortage of Fords at the present time. It is stated that the majority of the cars received have been sold for some time and all will be out of the garage within a few days.

1947 – 75 YEARS AGO

Children of DeKalb will enjoy a big day on Thursday with a Field Day to be held in the afternoon at the Northern Illinois State Teachers College followed by the annual pet parade in the evening.

The parade will consist of five divisions with prizes to be awarded the winners in each division.

A plot of 38.75 acres of land near Kirkland, formerly part of the government-owned hemp mill, has been offered for sale as war surplus and veterans are advised that they have high priority as possible purchasers. Located one mile west of Kirkland, the tract is the remainder of 48 acres which the government purchased from the late John MacQueen as the site for the hemp plant and storage yard.

Mayor H. J. Hakala of DeKalb stated this morning that all owners of property must see to it that all ragweed is cut down. It is a violation of both state law and city ordinance to allow ragweed growth. Ragweed is responsible for much of the suffering of those afflicted

with hay fever and a drive is to be staged to see that all property owners have ragweed cut on their property.

A special use permit to move a onestory house was approved by the DeKalb Planning Commission. The city had recently put out bids for the demolition of a house at 512 Franklin St. which is being removed for expansion of the city parking lot. The Snyders will move the house to a lot on 413 Franklin St.

Most of the oats in DeKalb County have been cut, but very few have been combined or threshed as yet. A survey trip by Farm Adviser Carroll Mummert which covered a large section of the county showed that only a small percentage of the crop remained standing in the fields. Hundreds of acres in shock or in the process of being shocked and many fields merely were waiting for the combines to thresh the wind rowed grain.

1997 – 25 YEARS AGO

Two changes of ownership were noted in gasoline service stations in DeKalb today. Both changes were in “Breezyville,” as the businessmen around the corner of Seventh Street and East Lincoln Highway call the area, and the stations are on opposite sides of the street. Floyd Mowry took sole charge of the station which had been operated for several years as Mowry & Burnham with Leonard Burnham. Across the street, Lauri Luhtala took over the station formerly operated by Alex Anderson and Clayton Adkins. Anderson plans an extended vacation. Adkins has not announced his plans.

For more than a century, the small house has stood on the edge of the high ground that makes up DeKalb’s north side, quietly enduring while around it larger homes, four flats, a hospital, even barns and stores, have come and gone. A community landmark since 1857, the George Gurler Home at the corner of Pine and North Second Streets in DeKalb was placed on the National Register of Historic Homes in 1978.

1972 – 50 YEARS AGO

The County Home Committee proposed setting the patient rate at the home at a figure which will meet the operating costs of the county home. The revision is part of the county home committee’s plan to place the nursing facility

“This was a wonderful house to grow up in.” says Patience “Patty” Ellwood Towle. Seated on the couch of the plush Victorian living room in the Ellwood House, her childhood home. Her brother John Ellwood sits next to her as they reminisce about what is was like to live in the home. Patty and John are in town this weekend as the Ellwood House Association and community dedicate the new Carriage House this weekend.

A silent shift will occur at the county nursing home today. The leadership and direction of the home is changing.

Instead of hiring a county home administrator, the county home will be directed by an outside health care consultant for $65,000 annually. St. Louis-based Management Performance Associates and Director Michael Scavotto assumed operational control of the nursing home when the offices opened today.

State OKs $23M NIU sustainability center Completion of facility slated for 2026 Shaw Local News Network DeKALB – Almost four years after the project was announced, designs for a $23 million sustainability center at Northern Illinois University have received the go-ahead from the state of Illinois.

According to a July 27 announcement from the university, approval on the design phase for NIU’s Northern Illinois Center for Community Sustainability in DeKalb means the project is effectively greenlit to move forward.

The Illinois Capital Development Board is accepting bids from engineering and architectural firms for the planning phrase of the project, according to its website, with a projected goal to select a contractor by Oct. 11.

The sustainability center was announced in October 2018. The announcement also marked NIU’s entry into the Illinois Innovation Network, a conglomerate of state-funded research centers under development meant to

ial spirit of the Illinois Innovation Network, we aim to create a world-class destination for experts, university faculty, graduate and undergraduate students, government and business leaders, and citizens working to enhance sustainability in their communities,” said Gerald C. Blazey, NIU vice president for research and innovation partnerships. Blazey also serves as chairman of the Illinois Innovation Network Council.

The center will work to develop new sustainable water systems for agriculture, industry and personal consumption. Other research will be conducted on biodiversity, ecosystem restoration, environmental maintenance, natural disasters, climate change and responses to extreme climate events.

The center also will research new methods of food production, in partnership with researches across the world.

The university already has recruited more faculty to conduct research and hold lecture series.

NIU officials said they expect the center to be a boon for faculty and students also, bolstering already existing research that faculty have been doing for years.

Since the center was first announced, NIU faculty have won grants from the Illinois Innovation Network and federal sources to conduct research on American prairie restoration, soil microbes, turning trash

into usable products, exploring urban-rural connections and enhancing agricultural practices, according to the release.

NIU also notes a strong interest in sustainability studies among students, including its more than 100 current students pursuing bachelor’s degrees in environmental studies. According to the release, many hundreds more NIU students are pursuing degrees in areas ranging from meteorology and geology to engineering and law where sustainability issues are at the forefront.

NIU meteorology professor Victor Gensini said sustainability is vital to his line of work, including severe weather and long-range forecasting.

Such research can aid building structures to better withstand extreme weather events – which are becoming more prevalent as climate change impacts existing weather and seasonal patterns.

Gensini also is a member of NIU’s Weather, Climate and Society Research Group, which studies how weather and climate extremes impact humans and the economy.

“The sustainability issues we are tackling today are complex and require expertise from many different disciplines,” he said. “It’s exciting to know that the new Northern Illinois Center for Community Sustainability will be at the forefront of collaborations on sustainability solutions for decades to come.”

drive statewide economic growth and address global issues, such as climate change.

“The Illinois Innovation Network exists to ensure the needs and ideas of every community are represented in the economy of the future, and I’m proud to dedicate $15 million in state funding to bring this hub for groundbreaking research to DeKalb,” Gov. JB Pritzker said in a news release. “The establishment of NIU’s Center for Community Sustainability represents a climate advancement for our whole state, and I’m proud to greenlight its development.”

The Illinois Innovation Network supports interdisciplinary research, policy development and public-private partnerships to stimulate economic development and job creation, according to the release.

University officials have touted the Northern Illinois Center for Community Sustainability as a way to attract global researchers to come together and address water resources, environmental change and food systems while promoting science-based policies and community practices.

In the release, NIU President Lisa Freeman thanked Pritzker’s administration and state legislators for their help pushing the project forward.

“NIU is a perfect fit for this new center because our distinctive peri-urban geography positions us to understand the stresses among cities, suburbs and farmlands and create sustainable solutions to span the gaps,” Freeman said.

“The new center will address statewide sustainability issues, drive economic opportunity and spur public-private partnerships and investment. NICCS will also create opportunities for NIU faculty members to expand their research related to food systems, water resources and environmental change, and educate the next generation of environmental scientists and stewards.”

The roughly 30,000-square-foot facility will put down roots on the university’s west campus, northwest of the NIU Convocation Center in DeKalb.

More than half of the new building’s cost, or $15 million, will be funded through a portion of the $500 million state money slated for the innovation network in 2018. According to the release, NIU anticipates additional funding to come through private investment and donations.

The facility is expected to come online in 2026. Construction could begin in 2023, according to the release.

Preliminary concept designs plan for a building with classrooms, offices, laboratories, an atrium and conference spaces. Two wings are planned for research and external tenants.
