Brittany Richey’s grandparents opened Honey Hill Orchard in rural DeKalb County in 1977. She grew up around the farm but worked in healthcare. However, after her father passed away in 2016, she came back to help her mother run the family busi ness.Now, she’s a part owner, and she and her husband of eight years, Shane Richey, work on the farm most months of the year.
Brittany would hop on the tractors to nab a ride as the orchard’s tractor drivers worked, and she talked to the visiting families and made friends with their kids.

Now that she’s back to living on the farm, she’s looking forward to her kids also having that same experience.
“Because I know how special it was for me to have my upbringing here,” Brittany said.
During the weekends of Brittany’s childhood, her parents would be busy working so they’d turn her loose to roam the 40-acre facility north of Waterman, she said.

Arguments Against the Proposed Amendment

A fundamental right provided to all citizens under the First Amendment of the United States Constitution is the right to free speech and freedom of association. This amend ment prohibits any law or ordinance that allows union workers to choose whether they wish to be a member of the union or not. Under the 2018 United States Supreme Court decision Janus v. Illinois AFSCME, non-union government workers cannot be required to pay union dues as a condition of working in the public sector. Approval of this constitutional amendment will deny that protection to private sector workers. The amendment also states that lawmakers could never “interfere with, negate, or diminish” certain rights. These terms are broad and undefined and leave lawmakers without the ability to clarify through legislation. Our Illinois Constitution provides such protection to public employees. The result of that protection has been to squash efforts by state lawmakers and voters to address Illinois’ pension fund deficits.
The proposed amendment would add a new section to the Bill of Rights Article of the Illinois Constitution that would guarantee workers the fundamental right to organize and to bargain collectively and to negotiate wages, hours, and working conditions, and to promote their economic welfare and safety at work. The new amendment would also prohibit from being passed any new law that interferes with, negates, or diminishes the right of employees to organize and bargain collectively over their wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of employment and workplace safety. At the general election to be held on November 8, 2022, you will be called upon to decide whether the proposed amendment should become part of the Illinois Constitution.
This amendment will protect workers' and others' safety. That includes guaranteeing nurses' right to put patient care ahead of profit and making sure construction workers can speak up when there's a safety issue. It will protect workers from being silenced when they call attention to food safety threats, shoddy construction, and other problems that could harm Illinoisans. This amendment protects firefighters and EMTs who put their lives on the line to protect Illinoisans. It means they get the training and safety equipment they need to do their jobs, and can speak out when they see a problem without fear of retaliation. This amendment will help our economy by putting more money in workers' pockets who join together and get raises. That will mean more money going into our communities and small businesses as people join the middle class with good-paying jobs.

Proposed Amendment to the 1970 Illinois Constitution Explanation of Amendment
The proposed amendment would add a new section to the Bill of Rights Article of the Illinois Constitution that would guarantee workers the fundamental right to organize and to bargain collectively and to negotiate wages, hours, and working conditions, and to promote their economic welfare and safety at work. The new amendment would also prohibit from being passed any new law that interferes with, negates, or diminishes the right of employees to organize and bargain collectively over their wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of employment and workplace safety. At the general election to be held on November 8, 2022, you will be called upon to decide whether the proposed amendment should become part of the Illinois Constitution.

(b) The provisions of this Section are controlling over those of Section 6 of Article VII.
This amendment will protect workers' and others' safety. That includes guaranteeing nurses' right to put patient care ahead of profit and making sure construction workers can speak up when there's a safety issue. It will protect workers from being silenced when they call attention to food safety threats, shoddy construction, and other problems that could harm Illinoisans. This amendment protects firefighters and EMTs who put their lives on the line to protect Illinoisans. It means they get the training and safety equipment they need to do their jobs, and can speak out when they see a problem without fear of retaliation. This amendment will help our economy by putting more money in workers' pockets who join together and get raises. That will mean more money going into our communities and small businesses as people join the middle class with good-paying jobs.

A fundamental right provided to all citizens under the First Amendment of the United States Constitution is the right to free speech and freedom of association. This amendment prohibits any law or ordinance that allows union workers to choose whether they wish to be a member of the union or not. Under the 2018 United States Supreme Court decision Janus v. Illinois AFSCME, non-union government workers cannot be required to pay union dues as a condition of working in the public sector. Approval of this constitutional amendment will deny that protection to private sector workers. The amendment also states that lawmakers could never "interfere with, negate, or diminish" certain rights. These terms are broad and undefined and leave lawmakers without the ability to clarify through legislation. Our Illinois Constitution provides such protection to public employees. The result of that protection has been to squash efforts by state lawmakers and voters to address Illinois' pension fund deficits.

“The Salvation Army will soon enter the third phase of its building program,” disclosed Major Robert Bazie of the DeKalb Post at an Army Advisory Board meeting. “This will mean demolishing an adjacent structure on Ninth and Grove streets, which housed Red Shield youth activities at one time. More recently it has served as Army headquarters. Cleared space to be blacktopped, will be utilized for parking and recreation.”

The vacant lots have long been an eyesore to the people of the community and the new buildings will be a welcome addi tion to the village.

The Sycamore City Council’s attempt to play hardball with DeKalb County on the future site of the nursing home has prompted board members to look at a new location in the City of DeKalb. On Wednesday night, the county board will vote on a resolution from the Health Facilities Committee to investigate the possibility of building the new nursing home on 34 acres of the Dresser Farm on Annie Glidden Road, just north of Dresser Road.

Ten cars of a Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific Railroad freight train derailed in the center of Genoa at 5:10 a.m. today completely cutting off all the crossings in town for three hours. An apparent burned out journal (wheel assembly) was the cause of the wreck which tore up track bed and rails near Brown Street in town and overturned boxcars, which tied up both main lines on the Milwaukee Road.
Between 200 and 300 people stepped into the Fisk Motor company’s salesroom last night to give the Lincoln a careful inspection and in the words of one inter ested spectator, “It’s a bear of a job.” This is the first of such cars to be shown in DeKalb, and as it is one of the top notch ers, the Fisk people expect many inter ested callers. The machine is an eight cyl inder type, with beautiful trimmings and while the price here is about $4,000, it appears to be well worth the money.
No more forcible an illustration can be given of the interest which the present day farmer in his own organization than that which was shown Tuesday night last at the home of Alvin Warren near the Suydam church in Victor township. About 7:30 in the evening a fire broke out in Mr. Warren’s coal, wood, and store house, and as there was some oil, paints, etc., in the building it spread very rapidly until the whole structure was a solid mass of flame. Being surrounded by other buildings with the house only about fifteen feet away it was with the utmost difficulty that the fire was held to the one building. However, such people who gathered there were able to help and by 8:00 o’clock the crown that gath ered numbered over 250 people.
The ornamental light post at Seventh and Lincoln Highway was damaged this morning when the truck of Walter Ken nedy, driven by Cal Wiltsie, and another machine came together. The machines were not damaged to any extent, the touring car having a fender damaged. The accident happened as Wiltsie and one of the Corey & Evans’ trucks were turning the corner at the same time, going in opposite directions while the other machine was coming from the east. The light pole will have to be replaced and has been secured to pre vent its falling and injuring passersby.

Chief of Police B. F. Peck stated this morning that he had instructed members of the police department to arrest all those operating motor vehicles without mufflers. Numerous complaints have been received of late concerning the noise created by motorcycles and scoot ers being operated without mufflers and a drive is to be made by the police in an effort to correct this nuisance.
Over 3 inches of rain fell on Genoa during the night and early morning hours Wednesday, causing a repeat of the flooding conditions around the town which followed the heavy rain two weeks ago. Especially hard hit was the area around the Middle School with water flowing down Hallsall Street like a creek, causing the rerouting of traffic around the Middle School area. Picnic tables at Chamberlain Park were afloat for a while and water flowed heavily across Route 72 east of town during the morning hours.

It wasn’t until Thursday evening that K. R. Dalton was able to bring himself here. Too many memories. “I have three cousins and 26 friends on that wall,” Dal ton said in the shadow of the Traveling Vietnam Veterans Memorial. “It’s still hard to talk about it, you understand.” Nine years removed from his last assign ment in the Marines and more than 25 since his last tour of duty in Vietnam, Dalton hasn’t approached the wall. He only got within 50 feet before turning back, unable to go farther. But with the traveling memorial in town until Sunday, Dalton, like the other 250 vets who turned out felt the need to come out to Sycamore Park and pay his respects.
William Boyd, the matinee idol of silent films and most famous as Hopalong Cassidy, died at South Coast Community Hospital at Laguna Beach, Calif. He was 77.
Yesterday a claim for the release from Sandstone Federal Prison of John (Jake the Barber) Factor, one-time Mid west gangster, was denied in Federal Court at Minneapolis. Factor will be remembered as one of the most widely known characters ever to be an inmate of the DeKalb County jail at Sycamore. In 1934, “Jake the Barber” was wanted in England for an alleged $7,000,000 fraud. Then he was kidnapped and held for huge ransom. Following his release by his captors, he identified his kidnapers in spite of threats against his life. On April 24, 1934, he was brought to the DeKalb County jail and placed in custody of the Sheriff, being released 60 days later.
The village of Paw Paw lies in Lee County, just a hop, skip and a jump west of the DeKalb County line because some pioneer DeKalb County residents were mulishly stubborn in 1856 and ’57. But for some mule-headedness of those pioneers who wanted no part of that new-fangled contradiction, the railroad, Paw Paw would lie well within the limits of DeKalb County and approximately three miles east of its present location. Back in the middle ’50s, there were three tiny settle ments in that neck of the woods. There was Paw Paw, a stage coach stop on the old Galena-Chicago road, there was South Paw Paw a little off the south toward Mendota, and there was East Paw Paw, oldest of the three, to the east.

Pay-It-Forward House hosting pork chop dinner Sept. 21
The dinner is part of the church’s Wednesday Drive-Thru Dinner commu nity outreach program.
The dinner, provided by Sycamore Country Store and Catering, will include a pork chop, baked beans, steakhouse potato salad, applesauce and a roll. Din ners can be picked up by entering the
church’s south parking lot and following the posted signs to drive around the back of the church.
“While there are several companies that offer technologies that capture pathogens, such as allergens, we have found very few that actually eliminate harmful micro-organisms,” Stuckert said, while noting the air purification unit from Protect|ED complements the school district’s HVAC filters to create a healthier educational envi ronment for students and staff.

BRIEF
SYCAMORE – Students and staff of Sycamore School District 427 are breath ing cleaner air to start the school year after air purifiers were installed in Syc amore schools over the summer break.
SYCAMORE – The Pay-It-Forward House will host a pork chop dinner from 4:30 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 21, at Sycamore United Methodist Church, 160 Johnson Ave., Sycamore.
District 427 has installed NanoS trike air purification units from Pro tect|ED, a company focused on creat ing clean air in schools, with its Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief funds.
Tickets cost $15 and must be pur chased in advance no later than Wednes day, Sept. 14. Tickets are available at the church office or online on SUMC’s Face book page in the events section.
Pay-It-Forward House is a healthcare hospitality house established to provide a home-away-from-home for family and friends of patients receiving medical treatment.Forinformation, call 815-895-9113.
In her email, Stuckert cited research from Havard University T.H. Chan School of Public Health that links cleaner air with cognitive function.
“Taking care of our school commu nity has always been a priority, and the ongoing pandemic makes this investment of federal ESSER funding more critical than ever as we work to make improvements to our facilities,” Nicole Stuckert, District 427’s assis tant superintendent for Business Ser vice, wrote in an email to staff and families on Sept. 6.
“It is medical-grade technology that has been embraced by the medical community for the past decade. More than 60 clinical and lab studies show NanoStrike reduces certain viruses and pathogens up to 99.99%. In fact, the system is used by world-renowned medical institutions such as the Mayo Clinic and Cleveland Clinic,” Stuckert wrote. “That was something that meant a lot to our district.”
By CAMDEN LAZENBY clazenby@shawmedia.com
NanoStrike air purification units work by pulling in air with an internal dual-speed fan. The unit then uses brand specific coils, which uses multi ple concurrent inactivation processes, that work to rapidly destroy airborne pathogens.“Ourstudents, teachers and staff deserve to breathe air that is clean and minimizes their risk for illnesses,” Stuckert said. “The Sycamore Commu nity School District 427 is committed to the health and safety of our school community. Improving the air quality in our schools supports overall health and well being, improves student pro ductivity and reduces absenteeism.”

How to stay mentally sharp after retirement
If asked to describe how they envi sion retirement, many professionals might reference travel, time spent with grandchildren and various recre ational pursuits. Few, if any, would mention cognitive decline. However, cognitive decline poses a significant threat to aging men and women, espe cially during Researchersretirement.havelong since recog nized that certain cognitive abilities begin to decline with advanced age, even among elderly individuals who are healthy. However, despite that decline, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that dementias like Alzheimer’s disease are not an inevita ble part of aging. In fact, the CDC esti mates that as many as 40 percent of dementia cases may be prevented or delayed. In addition, the CDC reports that it’s not uncommon for routine memory, skills and knowledge to stabi lize or even improve as the brain ages. That’s good news for retirees who want to spend their post-work life pur suing their passions and hobbies. Indi viduals also can embrace some strate gies to stay mentally sharp in retirement.•Consider delaying retirement. Even if early retirement is a dream, it might be better to work a little longer than you had planned. A 2021 study published in the journal SSM - Popula tion Health found that postponed retirement is beneficial to cognitive function for all genders, races/ethnici ties, educational levels, and profes
• Make exercise part of your retire ment routine. A lack of structure may seem enticing to individuals who have spent decades working. However, many retirees find that little structure loses it appeal quickly after calling it quits. When creating a new routine in retirement, include regular exercise. According to the Mayo Clinic, studies indicate that people who are physically active are less likely to experience a decline in their mental function. So daily exercise not only gives retirees something to do, but also benefits their brains.•Enroll in an adult education course. A 2014 study published in the journal JAMA Neurology examined the association between lifetime intel lectual enrichment and cognitive decline in the older population. The study’s authors found that higher lev els of late-life cognitive activity were associated with higher levels of cogni tion. The study’s authors concluded that lifetime intellectual enrichment might delay the onset of cognitive impairment. Retirees can look into adult learning programs at local col leges and universities to see if anything piques their Retirementinterest.canbe everything pro fessionals hope it will be, especially for those who make a concerted effort to maintain optimal cognitive function after they call it a career.

Siegel described the position as his “dream job,” saying this is how he refers to it when he is around friends andSiegelfamily.said that from day one, he’s been impressed by the agency, how it’s staffed and how it’s run.
“I’ve made the analogy that I’m a new coach coaching a winning team,” Siegel said. “I have been nothing but impressed with all the people that work here. … I’ve made it a priority in my first month-and-a-half to sit down with every single employee of the housing authority, and I’ve found them all to be really intelligent, really motivated, total professionals. It’s a great thing. I genuinely haven’t devi
“We just want to do our job as best we can, we want to fill every unit, we want to issue every voucher that we’re entitled to, and just run an efficient program,” Siegel said.
Siegel said the agency is working with the federal government to come up with solutions to address the local housing crisis.
Housing Authority of the County of DeKalb Executive Director David Siegel poses for a picture Friday, Sept. 2. Siegel was named the agency’s top executive earlier this year. His first day on the job was July 11.

ated from that. I feel like I’m the new coach on the winning team.”
With inflation climbing nationally as of late, rentals in the DeKalb area have been all but immune to the rising costs.“Because our vouchers have a pay ment standard attached to them – [a] payment standard is essentially tied to what rents were in the last 12 months – and when they skyrocket, that per son has a voucher that entitles them to a unit of a certain value,” Siegel said. “When rents go up, it shrinks the mar ket that they’re able to do.”
David Siegel, executive director for the Housing Authority of the County of DeKalb, replaced Mitch Hallgren, who had been occupying the position in the interim since Michelle Perkins resigned from the permanent post in May.

vouchers and the housing choice vouchers, specifically the lease-up and voucher issuance for them,” Siegel said. “I got a lot of exposure to a lot of different things – boardings, leasings, all that. Every day was a test, but it was the type of thing where you were learning every day on the job. It led me here. So, I have great feelings about my time at Nan McKay.”
Siegel said he envisions the housing authority to continue focusing on the basics going forward.
One solution involves raising the housing authority’s payment stan dards to match the rental market, Sie gel said. The other aspect depends on outreach to landlords, letting them know that the voucher program is guaranteed to be funded, in part, by the federal government, he said.
DeKALB – The new top executive at the Housing Authority of the County of DeKalb has inherited what he sees is an agency with a bright outlook and is looking forward to maintaining its strong track record.

The Queen described the trip as “delightful and terribly exciting.”
They planned to sail into Santa Bar bara on Her Majesty’s Yacht Britannia to meet up with the president and Nancy Reagan before heading up to their Ran cho Del Cielo for lunch and a horseback ride around the ranch, but 30-foot waves meant the royal couple instead took a U.S. Air Force plane from Long Beach to Goleta to meet the Reagans.
DIXON – It didn’t make him Sir Ronald, but on June 14, 1989, Queen Elizabeth II made Ronald Reagan an Honourary Knight Grand Cross of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath, (English spelling, of course), which is the highest honor the United Kingdom can give a foreigner.
It was the queen’s first visit to Cali fornia, and she wound up feeling more at home than she expected.
“I knew before we came that we had exported many of our traditions to the United States, I had not realized before that weather was one of them,” she said at a formal dinner the next day.

A low-key reception was held in a hangar, a row of howitzers performed a 21-gun salute and the Air Force band played “God Save the Queen” and “The Star-Spangled Banner” before
According to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum website:Atthe start of their 10-day visit to the West Coast, the queen and Prince Philip were greeted by a rare and severe March rainstorm, which dis tressed her hosts, the Reagans, but seemed to invigorate the queen.
Reagan and the queen shared a special bond
The honorary knighthood is awarded for services to Britain, and was a symbol of her esteem for Rea gan, who by then had become a close friend of the monarch.
As did most who met him, the queen found Reagan to be quite charming (he was the first president ever to be invited to stay overnight at Windsor Castle.)Shealso admired his horseman ship, as they rode together during his visit, and the two developed a friend ship that lasted the rest of his life.
In March 1983, the royal couple vis ited the Reagans at their California ranch. It was two years into the Repub lican’s presidency and a year after he visited the castle.
On the third day of the visit, on March 3, 1983, the two couples and oth ers had dinner on the yacht, in honor of the Reagans’ 31st wedding anniver sary.“It was a magic evening,” Reagan wrote in his diary. “The Queen & His Highness are really warm, likable people.”

The Golden Rule
I experienced this firsthand some years ago. A group of our Classics Club members purchased a tour package for a ten day cruise to Alaska. For many, it was the trip of a lifetime. The tour was organized by a longstanding, highly reputable tour company based in Minneapolis. A few short days before their departure, we learned that the funds paid by our customers to the tour company had been embezzled by an officer of that company. We were devastated to think that our customers had lost their hard-earned money and, as a result, would not be able to enjoy theirThattrip.same day, the decision was made for the bank to pay for our customers to go on the Alaskan trip. I felt so proud to work for Resource Bank that day, and I still feel that way today. Those simple words, The Golden Rule, helped make a difference in our customers’ lives. It was just the right thing to do. of Resource Bank
We believe that most people simply wish to be treated with kindness, respect, and genuine sincerity. They want to work with people who care. If you value these same things, please stop in to Resource Bank and experience The Golden Rule.
Enriching Lives • Caring For Our Communities • Believing In The American Dream The Commitment
Over many years of being a part of Resource Bank, I have oftentimes been asked the question, “How do you find such good people to work here?” or “What’s your secret to providing such great service?”

Chapter Two
After some pause, I’ll share our secret; it’s not too complicated, there’s no special test one has to pass, and it’s very inexpensive. We try to find people from our local communities who believe in, and live by, The Golden Rule:
It is such a simple set of words; however, in practice, the impact can be powerful. You see, we believe that if we hire the right people and provide each of them an opportunity to share their ideas and knowledge, they, inevitably, will do the right thing for our customers, and each other.
