WEEK IN REVIEW DeKalb homeowners could see tax savings

By KATIE FINLON

kfinlon@shawmedia.com DeKALB – DeKalb homeowners could see tax savings in 2022 under a proposed tax levy in the city of DeKalb.

The DeKalb City Council was set to hold a first-round vote on the measure Nov. 8.

The proposed tax levy rate is 0.98%, a drop from the 2021 rate of 1.06%, which DeKalb property owners paid on their 2020 tax bill, documents state. Homeowners would pay the 2022 tax levy rate on their 2021 tax bill, which the city would collect in 2022.

DeKalb Mayor Cohen Barnes praised city officials for their finance work and cited property taxes as a common grievance aired by residents during his 2021

mayoral campaign.

“The work you did to continue the trend of the reduction of our tax rate, but then also to be able to move dollars out of people’s pockets, is pretty incredible,” Barnes said.

City officials said the levied revenue would go in full to the police and fire pension debt, as it has in recent years, according to documents.

Nicklas told the City Council recently he is proposing a total equalized assessed value, or EAV, of $6,845,317 for the fiscal 2022 tax levy. He said city officials arrived at that number because of the Illinois pension crisis remains the “big pea under our mattress.”

Nicklas said the city’s actuarial obligation for pension funding in 2021 was “a little over $8 million.” He said Illinois state government requires municipalities

to have their police and fire pensions funded at 90% by 2040.

“Which basically means ... a minimum we should pay just to stay level with our funding ratios,” Nicklas said. “[The city is] in a position this year to meet our obligations and to expand our services while reducing the city tax rate.”

For a home valued at a $100,000 EAV, or about $300,000 market value, “the actual taxes would go down about $65 for that homeowner,” Nicklas said.

Ward 7 Alderman Tony Faivre said DeKalb is “not the only ones in this boat” struggling to fund city employee pensions.

If approved as proposed, the 2022 tax levy would be the fourth year in a row rates have decreased for DeKalb homeowners, Faivre said. City of DeKalb levies account for about 10% of a property tax bill.

Solar developers: property setback lines could limit profit

By KATIE FINLON

kfinlon@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – Three industrial solar energy projects that have drawn controversy throughout DeKalb County in recent months received preliminary approval this week.

The three solar energy proposals – a 3,700 acre project called Owens Creek and a 1,800 acre project called Red Maple, both

by Texas-headquartered Leeward Renewable Energy; and a 643 acre project from Samsung called DK Solar – received preliminary approval from a DeKalb County Board committee last week. The proposals, which are slated for development in the southern portion of the county, next will go to the County Board for final approval.

The Planning and Zoning Committee

WHERE IT’S AT Amusements........................................26 Classified..............................................28 Cover story............................................. 6 Looking Back.......................................... 9 Obituaries.............................................24

members gave its support for all three projects, with some added caveats, including changes to how far away some projects might be from residential properties.

DeKalb County Board member Steve Faivre, who chairs the committee, said he anticipates the county board will take up the measures at its Nov. 17 meeting. However, he said an approval vote could be delayed if the project applicants, Leeward Energy and Samsung, take issue with the amended proposals.

The zoning committee recommended trees be planted before solar panel installation for screening purposes, which would limit construct hours to between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. daily.

Instead of the proposed 500-foot buffer between the Owens Creek project and residential parcel lines, the committee rec-

ommended a 300-foot buffer instead. The committee also deviated from original recommendations for Samsung’s DK Solar project, recommending the solar farm be 400 feet from residences. The committee kept original recommendations for the Red Maple project.

County ordinance guidelines require a 100-foot setback from property lines.

Jim Pomillo, representative for Samsung, said most residential neighbors appeared to be open to the solar projects provided they are set back farther than county guidelines. However, he said developers could seek additional land elsewhere if local allotments aren’t enough under the proposed amendments.

“It puts us in a tough spot,” Pomillo said, adding less land availability could mean fewer panels and less profit.

Kathy Smith of Sycamore, volunteer coordinator for the local Daughters of American Revolution chapter, is collecting donations to purchase holiday wreaths through Wreaths Across America for all of the veterans buried in Ohio Grove Cemetery in Sycamore.

SYCAMORE – To honor veterans for Christmas this year, Kathy Smith is organizing a Wreaths Across America wreath-laying ceremony at Ohio Grove Cemetery in Sycamore.

Wreaths Across America’s mission is to “Remember, Honor, Teach,” by placing wreaths on veterans’ graves for the holiday season.

National Wreaths Across America Day is Dec. 18 this year. The organization holds a wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery, as well as at more than 2,500 locations in all 50 states, at sea and abroad.

A wreath-laying ceremony will be held at 11 a.m. Dec. 18 at Ohio Grove Cemetery on Barber Greene Road in Sycamore. Smith’s goal is to sponsor enough wreaths for all 72 veterans buried there.

Sponsorship for one wreath costs $15, two wreaths $30, five wreaths $75 and 10 wreaths $150. Sponsors can choose to sponsor a wreath in honor of or in memory of someone, and they can choose a specific grave to place a wreath.

Volunteers also can register to participate in the ceremony on Dec. 18.

To sponsor a wreath, register to volunteer or for more information, visit wreathsacrossamerica.org. The deadline to sponsor a wreath is Dec. 1.

MidWeek reporter Katrina Milton spoke to Smith about Wreaths Across America and why she chose to sponsor the ceremony at Ohio Grove Cemetery.

Milton: How did you get the idea for laying wreaths at a cemetery?

Smith: I am a member of the Gen. John Stark Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution. With DAR, I am the volunteer coordinator for Ohio Grove Cemetery. Every year, DAR makes sure veterans are not forgotten by sponsoring wreaths and holding wreath-laying ceremonies through Wreaths Across America at local cemeteries. We also lay wreaths at Rock Island National Cemetery in Rock Island and Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery in Elwood.

Milton: What are some statistics about Wreaths Across America?

Smith: Last year, Wreaths Across America placed 1.7 million wreaths across the country, with more than 267,000 at Arlington National Cemetery alone. There was more than a million volunteers at more than 2,500 cemeteries.

Milton: Tell me more about this year’s ceremony.

Smith: This year, we will hold a wreath placing ceremony on Dec. 18. There are 72 veterans buried in Ohio Grove Cemetery in Sycamore, and I hope to have a wreath for each one. There are veterans from many different wars, including the War of 1812, the Civil War, as well as World War I and World War II. Milton: How can someone sponsor a wreath?

Smith: The cost to sponsor a wreath is $15 per wreath. They are really nice, live wreaths with a red bow. You can order them online through Wreath Across America’s website. You can even sponsor a wreath in honor of a loved one or choose a specific veteran to sponsor. If we have extra wreaths, we might place more at the cemetery or look into sponsoring other cemeteries locally.

Wreaths must be ordered online by Dec. 1.

THE MIDWEEK Whodunnit? Was it Miss Scarlet in the library with the candlestick?

Or perhaps it was Professor Plum in the lounge with the wrench?

The DeKalb High School Theatre Department will present “Clue,” a comedy based on the classic film and popular board game, on Nov. 12-14 at the school.

Just like at other high schools across the country during the last 18 months, many music performances, club meetings, theater productions, and other group events went virtual at DeKalb High School.

“The cast is so happy to perform in-person, in front of an audience again this year,” Brian Kowalski, director of the fall play, said in a news release. “There is no substitute for live performance, both for the audience and for the actors.

After months of uncertainty, the

production team and I wanted the actors’ return to the stage to be something zany and comedic, and ‘Clue’ seemed to fit the bill.”

Although it’s based on the 1985 film, audience members will not see a carbon copy of the movie. The main characters and general story are kept for the play, and even some of the dialogue is written verbatim, but some things inevitably had to be changed when it was adapted from the screen for the stage.

“Fans of the film will not be disappointed, as much of the plot is kept intact,” Kowalski said in the release. “Luckily, the authors stayed true to the film’s story and characters, but created situations that are more easily produced on stage and adapted them for high school actors.”

“Clue” brings together performers who are returning to the DHS stage with a few newcomers, representing all grade levels, freshman

through senior. Cast members include: Donovan Whelan, Jisela Marquez, Brianna Castillo, Amber Pilkinton, Iliana Rigaud, Will Fontana, Nate Robinson, Connor King, Gabriel Galindo, Lizbeth Serna Valdes, Piper Schiola-Williams, Anaya Aguilar-DeCleene and Aliren Mays.

Along with Kowalski, the production team reunites set designer Gloria Dennison and costume designer Donna Schultz Xidis with DeKalb staff members Travis Erikson and Angel Smith and several student crew members to bring this farcical murder mystery to life.

“Clue” will be performed at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday in the DHS Auditorium, 501 W. Dresser Road.

Tickets cost $10 for adults and $5 for students and children. Audience members will be required to wear masks and tickets are available to buy at the door.

COVER STORY

‘HIS STORY DESERVES TO BE TOLD’ Somonauk student’s book shares 103-year-old WWII veteran’s tale

By KATRINA J.E. MILTON kmilton@shawmedia.com

D

eKALB – Fred Foster said he has never thought of himself as famous.

Foster, a 103-year-old World War II veteran from DeKalb, will have his life story told in an upcoming book project.

Amanda Sanderson, a senior at Somonauk High School, interviewed Foster and will tell his WWII story as part of a project called “A BOOK by ME.” Deb Bowen started “A BOOK by ME” in 2003. She describes the project as “books for kids by kids,” with many of the stories written after children interview adults. The project started with children interviewing Holocaust survivors and has expanded to include veterans and Civil Rights activists. More than 100 stories already have been published.

“The project is a way to bring history to life,” Bowen said. “School kids are learning great lessons by hearing true, inspiring stories told by other students. Some of the stories have been turned into moving theater.”

Bowen is an active member of the Rebecca Clarke Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution in Galesburg. In the spring, she spoke via Zoom about her books for the Gen. John Stark Chapter of DAR serving DeKalb County. After Bowen’s Zoom presentation, local DAR member Deb Davey found three local veterans’ stories to be told. Along with Foster, the other stories are about WWII veteran Bob Shumway and Edeltraut Ziegler Drake, who was a German child during WWII .

Stories are grouped into sets of 10 and are compiled into books. The books are used in classrooms and can be borrowed from libraries.

Sanderson’s writing is scheduled to be completed by Thanksgiving and she also will illustate the story with a friend.

“Writing a book is something I never thought I’d do,” she said. “I’ve always been interested in history and wars, and through the interview, I was able to learn about history from firsthand, personal experiences.”

Foster said that he is happy to have his WWII experiences told.

“I had good and some not-so-good experiences during the war,” he said. “Telling my story is important. The people of America, young women and men, should understand what the former civilization went through to maintain our independence and freedom as a country. They should know all that we’ve done to allow democracy in America and keep it for future generations.”

Fred Foster’s Story

Fred Foster was born in 1918 in Aurora.

According to a biography written by Deb Bowen, Foster’s father and grandfather worked for the railroad moving dirt with scrapers and horses. Foster’s cousin Floyd, who was a few years older, moved in with his family when his mother died. The two boys were like brothers for the rest of their lives. Fred was out of school and remembers being at work when he learned about the Japanese bombing Pearl Harbor.

those times,” he said. “I always marveled at my father telling me he voluntarily joined the military to fight the enemies of our country at that time, and he told me pretty much everyone he knew was enlisting for the same reason.”

The Interview

When Keith Foster first approached his father about doing an interview about his WWII experiences, Fred Foster emphatically said no.

Keith said he talked his dad into doing the interview with Amanda Sanderson.

“My father has always been careful about how much of his war experience he wanted to share even with his family,” Keith Foster said. “He said things happened that he has tried to forget and he did not want to accidentally share things he felt should remain secret.”

Keith was able to persuade his father into conducting the interview.

“I’m glad I did because even I learned some things about his experience that I’m glad I know.”

One example of a story Keith had never heard before was of his father being in an abandoned house for a night during The Battle of the Bulge, with German planes overhead.

“He saw a little ant crawl down a crack in the floorboards of the house,” Keith Foster said. “He remembered thinking at the time, ‘I wish I was an

ant.’ I think we all have times when we would rather crawl into a hole rather than facing the uncertainty that tomorrow will surely bring.”

Deb Bowen said Foster’s story of the ant also stuck out to her.

“Ants are able to carry loads, burdens, they shouldn’t be able to on their backs,” she said. “Sometimes, we all feel like the weight of the world is on our shoulders. But for the young soldiers during WWII, the weight of the world truly was on their shoulders. I remember [Foster] saying, ‘I was one bullet away from death, and I dodged the bullet.’ ” Sanderson said that by conducting the interview with Foster, she has “a deeper understanding of history and more appreciation for veterans.”

“Both of my parents were in the military, but since the interview, I learned so much about World War II,” she said.

“I learned about the Holocaust in school, but it’s different learning about life during the war and life after the war. Through it all, he remained so positive. He showed me that not everything or everyone in the world is bad and not to be too hard on yourself. He’s 103, was in World War II and he’s the sweetest man ever. He’s been through so much, and he probably doesn’t get the recognition he deserves. His story deserves to be told, so others can learn about his experiences and learn about him and his life.”

In 1944, when Foster was 26 years old, and married with a young son, he enlisted in the U.S. Army.

“My brother-in-law was in the service, my cousin, and so many others, and I wanted to be there, so I enlisted,” Foster said.

En route to Europe, Foster’s ship was among a fleet of many other ships, he said. A British ship carrying aircraft from the U.S. was in the water beside them. One morning, when Foster awoke, the ship was gone, he said.

He doesn’t know how it sank, but he said he suspects it was attacked during the night by a German submarine.

Foster said he was a part of the 107th Field Artillery Regiment, where he put some of his college education of mathematics and manufacturing engineering to real-life, hands-on use. His job in the artillery regiment was to use information sent to him by a forward observer to calculate the firing data for the guns. The process consisted of determining the precise target location based on the observer’s location, if needed, then computing range and direction to the target from the location of the guns. This data was computed manually using special protractors and slide rules.

While overseas, Foster said, he par-

ticipated in the Battle of the Bulge in Belgium, which lasted six weeks from Dec. 16, 1944, to Jan. 25, 1945.

His favorite memory of the war was playing poker with four different currencies on the table: German marks, French francs, Italian lira and American dollars. Sanderson asked if he won, and Foster chuckled and replied “Yes.” “Personally, I never had any contact with the enemy being in the field artillery, they were a mile or so away,” Foster said. “I chose the field artillery when I joined because it’s at the back of the line, not the front. I thought I’d have a better chance of coming home.”

During the war, Foster wrote letters back and forth with his wife and young son. Upon returning home, he had two more children. He worked for the Barber Greene Corp. for 43 years and was one of three men behind the decision of choosing DeKalb for the company’s plant.

“I came to DeKalb with my family, built a home and never left,” he said.

“It was a great area to settle down, with the university nearby.”

Foster’s son, Keith Foster, said he has “always been proud of my dad’s service to this country and that is something he has always been proud of as well.”

Child age 5 and older can get a COVID-19 vaccine

By KATRINA J.E. MILTON kmilton@shawmedia.com

and SHANE TAYLOR

staylor@shawmedia.com Pediatric COVID-19 vaccination appointments for children as young as 5 are now available for scheduling across DeKalb County.

Last week, local state and federal health officials authorized emergency use for the Pfizer vaccine to those as young as 5. Pfizer is the only COVID-19 vaccine offered to those younger than 18. It’s a two-dose immunization that requires three weeks, or at least 21 days, in between doses, according to the CDC. Children who receive the shot must have a parent or guardian present and to make the appointment for them.

The COVID-19 vaccine is free and available to all.

According to the CDC, vaccination was almost 91% effective in preventing COVID-19 among children ages 5 to 11 years. In clinical trials, vaccine side effects were mild, self-limiting and similar to those seen in adults and with other vaccines recommended for children. The most common side effect was a sore arm.

Where to sign up: • DeKalb County Health Department, 2500 N. Annie Glidden Road in DeKalb, starting Nov. 10 According a news release, the DeKalb County Health Department will begin to offer limited Pfizer vaccines for children as young as 5 at its regularly scheduled pediatric vaccine clinics Nov. 10, 15 and 17.

LOOKING BACK

9 Seventy-five years ago last May, the DeKalb Woman’s Club was organized under the name of Woman’s Club of DeKalb with membership in the State Federation. There were 27 charter members.

The little 2 ½-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T fell out of the third story of the Sycamore hotel on Friday afternoon.

The little one was first caught by the roof of the front veranda, then rolled off to the ground, but somehow the mother of the child, hearing the fall to the roof, leaped the veranda railing and caught her little daughter in her arms, before the child struck the ground. It took some time for Mrs. T to regain her composure from the violent shock, but the child was unhurt, save a few minor bruises from landing on the veranda roof.

The old roundhouse of the Great Western railroad, which for so many years has done duty and been a landmark in north Sycamore has been abandoned. In its stead a new one has been erected near the Great Western coal chutes. Increased facilities promoting speed and convenience demanded the change and that veritable old landmark, so familiar to passerby for more than 40 years will be torn down.

Mitchel & Frizol, the Locust Street battery boys, had an exciting time Saturday night when making repairs on a big car. The repairs had been made and the owner of the car stepped on the starter without first looking where he was, and the big car started back through the big door of the battery shop. Frizol was nearest the door and when the car stopped, he was on the other side of the street. The glass in the door was broken and the crash could be heard for several blocks, attracting considerable attention. The door was badly broken and it took the boys several minutes with the aid of big mallets to get the door back in place again. The automobile was not damaged other than the rear fender slightly bent.

Alderman Robert Powell, much to the disgusts of his friends about town, has contented himself with smoking an old cob pipe and today his friends got bush and bought him a good pipe. In presenting the pipe, he was admonished that under penalty of court martial and possible expulsion from certain of his hangouts around the city, he was not to be seen smoking the old cob from now on.

today. The two DeKalb men officially took possession of the store at noon yesterday. Mr. Gustafson was superintendent of the Central Illinois Light Company until resigning two months ago in order to secure an extended rest. Mr. Striglos has been a DeKalb businessman for many years. The new owners said that they would keep the Swanson Brothers name and would continue to sell merchandise, service and electrical contracting work. The store hours will also remain the same.

In Somonauk, a notable antique has been destroyed. The two-wheeled mail cart which the Burlington agent used to convey mail back and forth between the station and the post office stood too close to the tracks when a fast train came along and the vibration caused the truck to move far enough toward the tracks to be drawn under wheels and smashed to pieces. The Reveille says it was a rattling goods mail transportation for 40 years.

Milton Duell of Esmond, a senior at the Rochelle High School, had the misfortune to have his collarbone broken in a football game on Friday night.

A farm wife who helps her husband is worth $69,000 to him, a woman agricultural editor has said. Gertrude Dieken, an editor of The Farm Journal, Philadelphia, made the estimate in a talk to the National Farm Electrification Conference.

Urging farmers to buy equipment to electrify home services as well as production, she said “The farmer will be better off if he relieves his wife of carry-

ing such unprogressive things as water, wood and coal, so that she may have a chance to concentrate on that $69,000 cooperativeness.”

The extensive remodeling which has been done on the house of Mr. and Mrs. Wesley Lindstrom for several months is nearly completed. They will enjoy a new heating system this winter and a garage which is attached to the house.

C.J. Swanson and son, Carl Jr., purchased the Sycamore airport site from the Leader Oil Company recently. All papers have been signed, but according to the attorneys, the title will not be delivered for several months. It was reported at first that the land east of the Sycamore Community Park would be plowed up due to the pack of financial backers for Darel Carls. The father and son expect to establish a first class airport in the near future which will be of much credit to the community of Sycamore. It is ideally located on Route 64 east of the park and will offer many flying tourists an opportunity to get acquainted with Sycamore and its facilities.

1971 – 50 Years Ago

Washington – The Supreme Court refused today to interfere with a lower court ruling that pension plans compelling women workers to retire at an earlier age than men is a civil rights violation. In another case, the court let stand a circuit court decision that airlines cannot impose a “women only” qualification for the job of flight attendant without violating the civil rights law against sexual discrimination.

Fires in the city and rural DeKalb did an estimated $5,780 in damages to property and contents and hospitalized one Northern Illinois University student during October. According to the monthly report of the DeKalb Fire Department, $3,680 of the $5,780 in damages resulted in property loss to the city. Fire did an estimated $100 damage to the contents of buildings in the city, and $2,000 in damages to contents in the rural area. During October, the fire department answered 22 calls.

1996 – 25 YEARS AGO

The DeKalb County Board decided overwhelming last night against further sponsoring a flood mitigation program to relocate the Evergreen Village Mobile Home Park, outside Sycamore, fearing unknown costs it could bring on the county.

The Clark Oil gas station in Sycamore has been shut down since Monday, when it was found to be the source of a gasoline leak. The Sycamore Fire Chief said the leak is believed to stem from one of the underground gasoline lines at the station, located at 1655 DeKalb Ave. The leak was first reported Saturday night by some nearby homeowners, who smelled the gasoline.

Continental Envelope of Genoa has announced it will close its doors in mid1997 as part of a plan to consolidate the corporation’s two plants, possibly displacing at least 20 percent of its local employees. The company will unveil its new facility, located on the east side of Geneva, around June or July.

After a 35-2 season, a conference championship and a second-place finish in a national championship tournament last year, returning members of the Kishwaukee College basketball team never expected the reception they received yesterday. Fourteen of the 23 players on the team’s roster were suspended following a month-long probe by college officials. The players were accused of forging signatures on physical-examination cards and received suspensions ranging from two to 10 games.

Poverty, inequality issues discussed at meeting THE MIDWEEK DeKALB – State Rep. Jeff Keicher, R-Sycamore, said a recent community event held to discuss poverty and inequity in DeKalb County will be “integral to shaping our approach to tackling poverty moving forward.”

“I never cease to be amazed by how much our community cares about each other,” Keicher said in a news release. ”As evidenced by all the local organizations and advocates who participated in last week’s listening session on our shared goal of eliminating the scourge of poverty.”

A listening session was held Oct. 28 at Christ Community Church in DeKalb. It was co-hosted by several local organizations and leaders, including Keicher, the Family Service Agency of DeKalb County, the DeKalb County Regional Office of Education, DeKalb County Community Gardens, Hope Haven, DeKalb County Coordinated Child Care, DeKalb County Mental Health Board, DeKalb County Health Department, DeKalb County Housing Authority, Safe Passage, Sir Donald Foundation, Kishwaukee College and Northern Illinois University.

feedback we received will be integral to shaping our approach to tackling poverty moving forward.”

The listening session was held to discuss the unique experiences of those

living in the DeKalb County region and how poverty has impacted local communities. The Illinois Commission on Poverty Elimination and Economic Security will use the feedback to inform state policymakers and community leaders, with a mission “to eliminate poverty in Illinois over the next 15 years,” according to the release.

The Commission will host an additional listening session for rural leaders in the coming weeks, as well as four quarterly conversations in 2022 in partnership with Family Service Agency to confirm and follow-up on issues raised.

Jennifer Groce, commission member and NIU’s director of community promotion, organized the October listening session.

“Each and every one of our community partners and local nonprofit organizations contributed immeasurably to getting the word out to individuals and families they serve on how very much we want and value their feedback,” Groce said in a statement.

“Each person can make a difference in the battle against poverty. We have collectively taken a significant step forward as a result of last week’s listening session.”

THE MIDWEEK SYCAMORE – The DeKalb County History Center is inviting families to discover fun stories connected to local artist Cora Miner during its next Hands-on History program, “PaintingPossibilities.”

One of Miner’s pieces was showcased during the Chicago World’s Fair in 1933 and is featured in the History Center’s exhibit “History of DeKalb County in 100 Objects.” Miner also shared her artistic talents by giving people small paintings as a token of her appreciation.

As November is considered a month for being thankful, children will have the opportunity to create their own “thank you” painting inspired by Miner’s artwork.

“We are very excited to offer this program to families,” Michelle Donahoe, History Center executive director, said in a news release. “It is a fun way to showcase artwork, history and engage children at the same time.”

“We are dedicated to making children and families feel welcome at the History Center, and this program is just one example of how we connect to younger audiences,” she said in the release.

Children will see some of Miner’s paintings along with other paintings in the History Center’s collection, and then have a chance to create a piece of art inspired by Miner’s “Thank You Raccoons.”

Hands-on History is offered on the second Saturday throughout the year. This is a drop-in interactive program for children in first through fourth grade. This

BY KATIE FINLON kfinlon@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – The DeKalb County board will again take up a request by the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation during Native American Heritage Month to support the nation’s longstanding pursuit to reclaim nearby land.

The nation is seeking to reclaim 1,280 acres of land near Shabbona State Park in the southern part of DeKalb County.

Under the Federal Non-Intercourse Act, the U.S. Congress is the only governing body with the authority to designate land titles for native nations. The nation has long sought to reclaim its land in Shabbona and has returned to ask for the County Board’s support in the venture, including that the board write a support letter to Congress.

During the most recent DeKalb County Board meeting in October, Chairman John Frieders requested the vote be tabled until Nov. 17 to give the board more time to determine where the matter sits at the federal level, first.

The board was split on the vote, with 10 voting to pass the resolution.

Frieders previously has said the land reclamation issue is “one of the top priorities of the County Board” and the board was “going to support this moving forward.”

“There is some concern about this resolution in the fact that we do not know what the legislation coming out of Washington is, and we will not know that for awhile here,” Frieders said. “I am suggesting that we table this resolution until we have a clearer picture.”

DeKalb County Board member Kathy Lampkins, who was one of 13 board members who voted in favor of tabling the matter, said she was “not for nor against us doing this,” but voiced concerns about the county writing a letter of support before legislation is written. Lampkins represents District 1,

including the townships of Franklin, Malta, Mayfield, Milan, Paw Paw, South Grove and Sycamore, and the village of Shabbona.

“We know that when legislation goes in and when it comes out, it always looks very different,” Lampkins said.

Lampkins said she had “a lot of questions myself,” including where the Potawatomi nation would get its police and fire protection, what the land repossession would mean for landowners in Shabbona and whether “children on the reservation attend school and where.”

DeKalb County Board member Terri Mann-Lamb, who represents District 7, including DeKalb Township, is part of the Ramapough Lenape Nation, a band of the Munsee people who originally settled in New Jersey thousands of years ago. She was among the 10 board members who voted against tabling the matter.

Although Mann-Lamb said she didn’t believe Lampkins meant anything malicious, she said she as a Native American was disappointed to hear the question about whether children on the reservation would attend school.

“Because I feel that – and I don’t like to use words very loosely – but I felt it was racist,” Mann-Lamb said. “I felt it was a counteraction of negativity towards being a Native American. And what brings into my head is when people use the word heathens, because that’s what they used to use. The lower class. You’re not up there at the same level.”

Ramapough Lenape Nation Turtle Clan Chief Vincent Mann, who is MannLamb’s brother, said his sister has kept him in the loop about the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation’s land reclamation efforts in DeKalb County. He said he’s doing his own state and federal lobbying related to land and water contamination due to toxic paint sludge in the past several decades from a former New Jersey-based Ford plant

WINTER BUILD SALE

Potawatomi Nation’s history with DeKalb County Board

In October, the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation returned to the DeKalb County government to seek the County Board’s aid in a longstanding pursuit to reclaim nearby land. The Potawatomi people were forced out of northern Illinois in the 1830s by the Indian Removal Act. Joseph Rupnick, chairman for the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation said the nation’s Chief Shab-eh-nay, Rupnick’s fourth great-grandfather, was given land near Shabbona in 1829 under the Treaty of Prairie du Chien. However, the land illegally was sold without the chief’s consent in 1849.

The land title was then passed to non-Native Americans.

Since 1849, several individuals, the state of Illinois, the DeKalb County government and corporate entities assumed ownership of the reservation. Only the U.S. Congress can extinguish the Native American land title under the Federal Non-Intercourse Act, however.

Since the mid 1800s, Rupnick said the nation has been working to get the fed-

eral government to recognize it is still a reservation and the Potawatomi people still have claim to the land.

The reclamation efforts have been pursued by the nation for years.

In 2015, the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation approached the County Board for its blessing to open a Class 2 casino, which would include only bingo, in Shabbona. Rupnick has said the request is not related to the casino and is an attempt to “correct the land issue.”

Porter said U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger, U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin and U.S. Sen. Tammy Duckworth, all of Illinois, have been reviewing the proposed federal legislation that would return the land to the Potawatomi people for about two years. Spokespeople from all three offices were not available for comment.

More recently, state Rep. Tom Demmer, R-Dixon, filed House Resolution 0504 on Oct. 15 in support of “the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation’s efforts to regain possession of Chief Shab-eh-nay and his band’s land that was illegally sold by the federal government in 1849.”

Mann-Lamb, a Democrat, pointed to Demmer, a Republican, bringing forward the resolution in particular.

IL residents scramble to get last Walking Liberty Rolls Once Illinois residents got wind that Illinois State Restricted Bank Rolls filled with Silver Walking Liberties dating back to the early 1900’s were being handed over, there was a mad dash to get them. That’s because some of these U.S. Gov’t issued silver coins are already worth hundreds in collector value.

“It’s like a run on the banks. The phones are ringing off the hook.

That’s because everyone is trying to get them before they’re all gone,” according to officials at the National Mint and Treasury who say they can barely keep up with all the orders.

In fact, they had to impose a strict limit of 4 Illinois State Restricted Bank Rolls. So, if you get the chance to get your hands on these State Restricted Bank Rolls you better hurry because hundreds of Illinois residents already have and you don’t want to miss out.

You see, the U.S. Gov’t stopped

minting these Silver Walking Liberties in 1947 and there can never be any more which makes them extremely collectible.

And here’s the best part. The rolls are unsearched so there’s no telling how much they could be worth in collector value.

That’s why at just the $39 state minimum set by National Mint and Treasury it’s a deal too good to pass up.

But you better hurry because these Illinois State Restricted Bank Rolls are the only ones known to exist and Illinois residents are grabbing them up as fast as they can.

That’s because they make amazing gifts for children, grandchildren and loved ones. Just imagine the look on their face when you hand them one of the State Restricted Rolls — they’ll tell everyone they know what you did for them.

■ GOT ‘EM: Residents all across Illinois who get their hands on these State Restricted Silver Walking Liberty Bank Rolls are definitely showing them off. That’s because they are the only ones known to exist. And here’s the best part, these Bank Rolls are loaded with U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberty coins some dating back to the early 1900’s and worth up to 100 times their face value so everyone wants them.

Last State Restricted Silver Walking Liberty Bank Rolls go to Illinois residents Illinois residents get first dibs on last remaining Bank Rolls loaded with U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberties dating back to the early 1900’s some worth up to 100 times their face value for the next 2 days STATE DISTRIBUTION: A strict limit of 4 State Restricted Bank Rolls per IL resident has been imposed “It’s a miracle these State Restricted Bank Rolls even exist. That’s why Hotline Operators are bracing for the flood of calls,” said Laura Lynne, U.S. Coin and Currency Director for the National Mint and Treasury.

For the next 2 days the last remaining State of Illinois Restricted Bank Rolls loaded with rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberties are actually being handed over to Illinois residents who call the State Toll-Free Hotlines listed in today’s newspaper publication.

“National Mint and Treasury recently spoke with its Chief Professional Numismatist who said ‘In all my years as a scholar of U.S. coins I’ve only ever seen a handful of these rarely seen Silver Walking Liberties issued by the U.S. Gov’t back in the early 1900’s.

But to actually find them sealed away in State Restricted Bank Rolls is like finding buried treasure. So anyone lucky enough to get their hands on these Bank Rolls had better hold on to them,’” Lynne said.

“Now that the State of Illinois Restricted Bank Rolls are being offered (Continued on next page)

up we won’t be surprised if thousands of Illinois residents claim the maximum limit allowed of 4 Bank Rolls per resident before they’re all gone,” said Lynne.

“That’s because after the Bank Rolls were loaded with 15 rarely seen Silver Walking Liberties, each verified to meet a minimum collector grade of very good or above, the dates and mint marks of the U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollars sealed away inside the State of Illinois Restricted Bank Rolls have never been searched. But, we do know that some of these coins date clear back to the early 1900’s and are worth up to 100 times their face value, so there is no telling what Illinois residents will find until they sort through all the coins,” Lynne went on to say.

And here’s the best part. If you are a resident of the state of Illinois you cover only the $39 per coin state minimum set by the National Mint and Treasury, that’s fifteen rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberties worth up to 100 times their face value for just $585 which is a real steal because non state residents must pay $118 per coin which totals $1,770 if any coins remain after the 2-day deadline.

The only thing Illinois residents need to do is call the State Toll-Free Hotlines printed in today’s newspaper publication before the 2-day order deadline ends.

“Rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued silver coins like these are highly sought after, but we’ve never seen anything like this before. According to The Official Red Book, a Guide Book of United States Coins many Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollars are now worth $40 - $825 each in collector value,” Lynne said.

“We’re guessing thousands of Illinois residents will be taking the maximum limit of 4 Bank Rolls because they make such amazing gifts for any occasion for children, parents, grandparents, friends and loved ones,” Lynne continued.

“We know the phones will be ringing off the hook. That’s why hundreds of Hotline Operators are standing by to answer the phones beginning at 8:30 am this morning. We’re going to do our best, but with just 2 days to answer all the calls it won’t be easy. So make sure to tell everyone to keep calling if all lines are busy. We’ll do our best to answer them all.” Lynne said.

The only thing readers of today’s newspaper publication need to do is make sure they are a resident of the state of Illinois and call the National Toll-Free Hotlines before the 2-day deadline ends midnight tomorrow. ■

HOW TO CLAIM THE LAST STATE RESTRICTED BANK ROLLS FACTS:

If you are a Illinois State Resident read the important information below about claiming the State Silver Bank Rolls, then call the State Toll-Free Hotline at 8:30 am: 1-800-979-3771 EXT: RWB2803

Are these Silver Walking Liberties worth more than other half dollars:

Yes. These U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberties were minted in the early 1900’s and will never be minted again. That makes them extremely collectible. The vast majority of half dollars minted after 1970 have no silver content at all and these Walking Liberties were one of the last silver coins minted for circulation. That’s why many of them now command hundreds in collector value so there’s no telling how much they could be worth in collector value someday.

How much are State Restricted Walking Liberty Silver Bank Rolls worth:

It’s impossible to say, but some of these U.S Gov’t issued Walking Liberties dating back to the early 1900’s are worth up to 100 times the face value and there are 15 in each Bank Roll so you better hurry if you want to get your hands on them. Collector values always fluctuate and there are never any guarantees. But we do know they are the only Illinois State Silver Bank Rolls known to exist and Walking Liberties are highly collectible so anyone lucky enough to get their hands on these Silver Bank Rolls should hold onto them because there’s no telling how much they could be worth in collector value someday.

Why are so many Illinois residents claiming them:

Because they are the only State Restricted Walking Liberty Silver Bank Rolls known to exist and everyone wants their share. Each Bank Roll contains a whopping 15 Silver Walking Liberties dating back to the early 1900’s some worth up to 100 times their face value. Best of all Illinois residents are guaranteed to get them for the state minimum set by the National Mint and Treasury of just $39 per Silver Walking Liberty for the next two days.

How do I get the State Restricted Walking Liberty Silver Bank Rolls:

Illinois residents are authorized to claim up to the limit of 4 State Restricted Walking Liberty Silver Bank Rolls by calling the State Toll Free Hotline at 1-800-979-3771 Ext. RWB2803 starting at precisely 8:30 am this morning. Everyone who does is getting the only State Restricted Walking Liberty Silver Bank Rolls known to exist. That’s a full Bank Roll containing 15 Silver Walking Liberties from the early 1900’s some worth up to 100 times their face value for just the state minimum set by the National Mint and Treasury of just $39 per Silver Walking Liberty, which is just $585 for the full Bank Rolls and that’s a real steal because non state residents are not permitted to call before 5 pm tomorrow and must pay $1,770 for each Illinois State Restricted Walking Liberty Silver Bank Roll if any remain.

Lions Club’s Franklin Mall Project returns THE MIDWEEK After operating under some changes in 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Sandwich Lions Club Franklin Mall Project will be back to nearly normal for 2021.

The familiar red grocery bins for food donations will be in prominent locations throughout the Sandwich community beginning the week of Nov. 15. Residents may drop off donations of nonperishable food items to help fill the anticipated 250 boxes of groceries.

Needed items include, but are certainly not limited to, canned soups, vegetables and soups. Especially appreciated are cereal, peanut butter, dry pasta and sauce, macaroni and cheese, ramen noodles and rice. Collection will continue through Dec. 13.

Donated items will then be sorted and packed ready for delivery Saturday, Dec. 18.

The club also will buy gift cards to accompany each grocery box so recipients will be able to supplement boxes with fresh foods of their choice.

This means that monetary contributions from the community are needed, as well.

Contributions of any size are import-

Contributions may be mailed to The Sandwich Lions Club, P.O. Box 32, Sandwich, IL 60548 or they may be mailed or dropped off at First National Bank, Attn: Samantha King, 100 W. Church St., Sandwich, IL 60548. Checks should be made payable to Franklin Mall Project. With the Sandwich Lions Club

facilitating the project, there are no administrative costs. Every dollar goes directly to the intended recipients.

The Lions are asking for the community’s help in another important way. They need referrals of people in need of this kind of assistance. Grocery boxes and cards will be distributed only to persons whose addresses have

been confirmed by Dec. 6. If you or someone you know of has been a past recipient or if you would like to make a new referral, contact one of these Lion Ambassadors with complete name and address information: Karen Spangler, 815-786-2189; Kyle Wallis, 815-304-3175; or Michele Farley, 815-786-8086.

The Franklin Mall Project has been a holiday tradition in the Sandwich community for more than 65 years.

The project originated in 1954 when Franklin “Red” Mall and his wife, Peg, began taking holiday dinner groceries to folks who were having a tough time.

That same year, Frankie, dressed in a Santa suit made by Peg, delivered baskets of homemade goodies and fresh fruit to seniors who were spending Christmas alone. After a number of years, Frankie’s health deteriorated and he asked the Sandwich Lions Club if they could take over the project. The Lions agreed, as long as they had the support of the entire community.

Frankie and Peg are no longer with us, but their legacy continues through this communitywide program of sharing.

In recent years about 250 food boxes plus food gift cards have been delivered to deserving families and individuals within Sandwich School District 430.

FO BANKRMER WELCRUPTS OME !

THE MIDWEEK DeKALB – A new exhibit, “Objects: I Remember That!,” at the DeKalb Area Women’s Center Gallery will run through Jan. 28.

The theme of the new exhibit was partly inspired by the recently opened display at the DeKalb County History Center, “The History of DeKalb County in 100 Objects.”

The show at the women’s center at 1021 State St. in DeKalb is subtitled “Wood/Metal/Glass→Plastic.”

In a news release, Gallery Director Anna Marie Coveny described the gallery as “not a fine arts show, more like a yard sale assembled by window display artists.”

Most items in the gallery will be for sale unless marked. One example not for sale is a 1907 metal pencil sharpener.

Items for sale in the gallery include a Wurlitzer organ and bench, a piano and bench, a sideboard/dresser, a metal and glass table with four metal and wood chairs and a set of metal arm chairs with upholstered seats.

In the laundry room display, clothespin designs change over time from single blanks of whittled wood to spring-activated to colored plastic.

Hangers begin with wood with metal hooks held by zigzag fasteners to colorful plastic hangers of various shapes.

A second subtitle inspired by a recent NIU STEAM Café, “The Plastic Predicament,” develops in several museum showcases showing sterling silver to stainless steel to plastic flatware. Drinking straws may once have been oat reeds, but paper to plastic are included in this display.

If a purchase is made from the gallery, buyers may take the item upon payment. The displays will be adjusted with other objects being added as the days pass.

Appointments can be made by emailing DeKalbAWC@gmail.com.

Appointments are not needed during the regularly scheduled open houses at 7 p.m. Fridays.

Public receptions will be held from noon to 2 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m. Friday, Nov. 12.

Donations to the nonprofit are appreciated. Visitors are asked to wear masks while viewing. Parking is available on the street and in the lot half a block south off of Eleventh Street. The handicap-accessible lift may be reached from the alley just north of the building.
