Ideal Industries breaks ground on $1M walking path in Sycamore
By CAMDEN LAZENBY clazenby@shawmedia.com
SYCAMORE – Construction on a new $1 million public walking path is underway in southeast Sycamore after receiving the green light from Ideal Industries stakeholders, officials said.
Ideal CEO Steve Henn said members of the family that founded the industrial equipment supplier in Chicago before relocating to Sycamore a century ago approve of the walking path. The path will travel around a retention pond near the business’ campus along Borden Avenue and South Prairie Drive.
“It’s not just the Ideal business that’s supporting this, but it’s also the shareholder families. We are kicking in the majority of the money, but the family foundation, they’re also putting in some,” Henn said. “That’s part of their giveback to the community that’s supported them for 100 years. They wanted to participate.”
Sycamore Mayor Steve Braser said he appreciates what the company has brought to the community over the past century.
“They’ve brought jobs, they’ve brought other businesses with them,” Braser said. “They have been such a good neighbor, and just whatever they could do, they were always willing to do it. [We] really, really appreciate them.”
The future, park-like space is dubbed The Connector. The space will have a 0.7mile walking and biking loop compliant with the Americans With Disabilities Act, secondary trails, benches and ecological landscaping including native trees and shrubs once it’s fully completed, according to Ideal Industries.
Once built, the walking and biking loop will circumnavigate a retention
Construction is underway Monday at Borden Avenue and South Prairie Drive in Sycamore for a $1 million public walking path by Ideal Industries.
pond – a body of water that Henn said the company built decades ago after the area experienced flooding issues.
It’s not the only new development in town made possible with help from Ideal.
In January, Ideal Industries donated land – across the road from where the walking path is being built – to the city of Sycamore for a proposed new Fire Station No. 1.
“From our perspective, it was just the right thing to do,” Henn said. “They needed a spot for a fire station. It helps out the business park and all the businesses in there, and all the residents around it, and we had the land available. So why not?”
Braser said he’s a fan of the new walking path.
“It’s beautiful,” he said. “I mean, what a nice addition to the city and the neighborhood right there. There’s one park across the street, but the people enjoy the walking paths. It’s safe. It’s nice for the pond and the area and just for the community and how it will brighten that end of town.”
Henn said the first phase of the project was expected to be completed by early November, but construction appears to be behind schedule.
Over the next three years, the company will add secondary trails and benches.

Corn Fest to highlight summer’s grand finale in DeKalb
By MEGANN HORSTEAD mhorstead@shawmedia.com
DeKALB – It’s that time of year again: Corn Fest in DeKalb is back for its 47th year of fun and festivities.
The three-day festival, which runs Aug. 23 to 25, has all the makings for a summer grand finale, with carnival rides, food and games.
Plus, Corn Fest has long been touted by organizers as one of the last free-admission festivals in northern Illinois.
Started in 1957 as a corn boil by Del Monte to give away free corn, the festival has grown over the years with more than 100,000 people attending each year, organizers said. The modern-day version came into existence in 1977 with vendors and live entertainment.
The festival will take place from 3 to 11 p.m. Friday, Aug. 23; 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 24; and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 25, in downtown DeKalb, on Lincoln Highway between First and Fourth streets and Grove and Locust streets.
Among the traditions of the festival returning this year is the Chuck Siebrasse Corn Boil where free steamed corn is given out. It will take place from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. – or until supplies last – on Saturday at the corner of Fourth Street and Lincoln Highway.
The beer garden is a family-friendly venue with a viewing area for the main soundstage. It is open from 5 to 11 p.m. Friday, noon to 11 p.m. Saturday and noon to 6 p.m. Sunday.
The cost to enter the beer garden is $10 per day or $25 for the weekend. Tickets for this area can be purchased at cornfest.com/tickets. A free soundstage viewing area is available on Locust Street between Second and Third streets.
Multi-platinum-selling band Sugar Ray will headline the Sound Stage on Saturday.
Sugar Ray, fronted by Mark McGrath, has sold more than 10 million records, and has four Top 10 singles, including their first single, 1994’s “Fly.” The band has shared a stage with many legendary music artists, including The Rolling Stones, KISS, Sex Pistols and more, according to a news release.
The band additionally had huge
hits with the late ’90s songs “Someday,” “Falls Apart” and the No. 1 single “Every Morning.”

LOOKING BACK
Editor’s note: Included in this collection of throwback news items is a reference to a Ku Klux Klan gathering.
1924 – 100 YEARS AGO
Although the contractors on the Five Points State Road are meeting many obstacles in their path from Five Points to Sycamore, they are making very good progress since the operation started. Hundreds of loads of sand are being hauled daily from the cars in Sycamore to the crew who are working a short distance from the corners. The big trucks are kept busy continually on the job and so far the road is beginning to take on the appearance of the Lincoln Highway.
Several automobile loads of Ku Klux Klan members of this city are expected to motor to Sabin’s field, near Sycamore tonight for one of the biggest gatherings of the summer. The Klansmen of Sycamore have prepared a very extensive program for the evening session. An invitation has been extended to every law-abiding citizen to attend the session. The program will include fireworks, special initiation services, and a ceremonial that is said to be very interesting.
Miss Peggy Churchill, well known Chicago actress, is now confined in the DeKalb County jail where she will await trial before Federal Judge Adam C. Cliffe on charges of violating the Harrison acts.
It will not be a long time before the new Independent Oil Company station at Fourth and Lincoln Highway will be ready for use, judging from the present steps that are being taken. The greater part of the work on the building has been completed and the machinery is being installed. At the present time the pumps that will be used are being put in place. The station will be one of the nicest in the city and has a very good location, having entrances on Lincoln Highway and on Fourth Street. The completion of the driveway has made the corner less dangerous for traffic, as the curbing has been lowered, giving the autoists more room.
Final action on the DeKalb-Sycamore and Interurban Traction lines in this city was taken last evening at a special meeting of the city council. The council passed an ordinance authorizing the right to accept the proposition presented by the attorneys for the company, which stated that if the city would remove the
rails and trolley line in this city and for a distance of 2,000 feet outside of the city limits, the city could have the junk resulting from this work. The city will have to repair the streets used by the street car company at the time the line was operated.
1949 – 75 YEARS AGO
Within a couple of hours Friday afternoon, the DeKalb Fire Department answered two calls with neither blaze proving too serious. At 1:05 o’clock the department made a run to Ninth Street near the railroad tracks where a pile of wooden poles belonging to the Central Illinois Light Company was burning. Short work was made of the fire with only minor damage resulting. The second run was made shortly after 3 o’clock to the Earl Bond home at 1831 E. Lincoln Highway where siding on the house was scorched by a bonfire.
With only the major portion of the north side of the city covered Thursday night, the fogging operations in the
capacity” have forced city staff members to take a second look. First and Taylor streets, which have taken the brunt of tollway traffic emptying into DeKalb, constitute key problem areas.
The pachyderm members of the Carson & Barnes circus provided continual entertainment for observers when the circus visited DeKalb Tuesday.
Evel Knievel tuned up for his forthcoming mile jump across Idaho’s Snake River canyon by soaring over 13 trucks on a motorcycle Tuesday at the Canadian National Exhibition.
Hot lunches will be served at all DeKalb District 428 schools starting Aug. 29, the first full day of school. All elementary schools will be provided with catered hot lunches, a change from last year when four schools offered only the Type A sack lunch service. Students will pay 50 cents for Type A hot lunches at all schools. An extra carton of milk will cost students 5 cents and staff members 10 cents.
1999 – 25 YEARS AGO
insect control program will be continued tonight with the south side of the city to be sprayed as well as the portions not visited last night on the north side. During today a residual spray will be used on the alleys in the business district as well as at the city dump, around the swimming pool at Hopkins Park, along the Kishwaukee and other spots which are likely breeding places.
Hundreds of people lined the streets of Kingston yesterday to witness the first parade ever to appear at the Old Settler’s picnic in all its 73 years. At 1:30 o’clock the long line of participants marched down the road, across the bridge to the park, where they found hundreds more waiting.
1974 – 50 YEARS AGO
Increased traffic generated by the opening of the East-West Tollway extension was greeted last week by public officials with open arms. This week two residential streets burdened with traffic “in excess of practical
The dead will come alive in Sycamore this Sunday. The Sycamore Cemetery Heritage Walk will be held at 1 p.m. Sunday at Elmwood Cemetery on South Cross Street. It will introduce visitors to five of the city’s deceased historic citizens. The tour highlights an 1890s Sycamore judge, three Civil War veterans and the cemetery’s only Revolutionary War veteran. The sixth annual walk is being organized by a group of Sycamore residents.
Clinton Rosette Middle School students are asked to refrain from bringing school materials other than the basics (i.e. a notebook, pen and pencil) for the first three days of school. Students will be issued new lockers on Monday, Aug 30, and will be able to bring all necessary classroom materials at that time. Students may wish to bring materials in a backpack to be carried throughout the day for the first three days of school.
Israel of God’s Church, 248 North Ave., will host its 100th Annual Conference from Tuesday through Sunday, Aug. 24-29. The public is invited to attend any services throughout the week.

At the DeKalb Corn Boil in August 1998, Police Chief Don Burke served up freshly boiled corn. The corn boil started in 1957 and grew to become Corn Fest in 1977. Chuck Siebrasse, overseeing the operation at left, served as Corn Fest Board Chair from 1985-2009. In 2009, the corn boil was renamed “Chuck Siebrasse Corn Boil” in honor of his devotion to the event.

New food truck combines Mexican dishes with sushi
By MEGANN HORSTEAD mhorstead@shawmedia.com
DeKALB – A new food truck dubbed Tako Sushi promises its own take on the traditional Japanese-style rolls with a Mexican twist.
Aug. 6 marked the food truck’s first day in business at its home in the Lowe’s parking lot, 2050 Sycamore Road, DeKalb.
Owner Juan Martin Munoz said he’s excited to get his food out there.
“We started a little bit late today, but everything is going good so far,” Munoz said.
The food truck’s menu features familiar favorites such as a California roll and shrimp tempura roll. The menu also features Mexican-style highlights, including the senorita roll, pina colada sushi, burrito sushi, chicken taco, taco azada and more.
Munoz said the concept behind Tako Sushi is simple.
“[I’ve] always liked Japanese food,” Munoz said. “[The menu] also includes Mexican foods.”
Munoz runs and operates the food truck with Jacqueline Abarca and Frederick Abarca.
“[I’m] new at all of this,” Munoz said.
Munoz said he thinks patrons are happy to see a new addition to the business community.
“Everyone’s saying it’s exciting to have something new,” Munoz said.
“They’ve never heard of Japanese and Mexican food combined in one. So, they’re really excited to see some sushi, some tacos all included in one.”
The food truck intends to set up
shop in the parking lot outside Lowes from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday. Tako Sushi Food Truck also is open to covering events on Saturdays and Sundays.

Why you need dental insurance in retirement.
Many Americans are fortunate to have dental coverage for their entire working life, throughemployer-provided benefits. When those benefits end with retirement, paying dental bills out-of-pocket can come as a shock, leading people to put off or even go without care.
Simply put — without dental insurance, there may be an important gap in your healthcare coverage.
When you’re comparing plans ...
Look for coverage that helps pay for major services. Some plans may limit the number of procedures — or pay for preventive care only.
Look for coverage with no deductibles. Some plans may require you to pay hundreds out of pocket before benefits are paid.
Shop for coverage with no annual maximum on cash benefits. Some plans have annual maximums of $1,000.
Medicare doesn’t pay for dental care.1
That’s right. As good as Medicare is, it was never meant to cover everything. That means if you want protection, you need to purchase individual insurance.
Early detection can prevent small problems from becoming expensive ones.
The best way to prevent large dental bills is preventive care. The American Dental Association recommends checkups twice a year.
Previous dental work can wear out.
Even if you’ve had quality dental work in the past, you shouldn’t take your dental health for granted. In fact, your odds of having a dental problem only go up as you age.2
Treatment is expensive — especially the services people over 50 often need.
Consider these national average costs of treatment ... $222 for a checkup ... $190 for a filling ... $1,213 for a crown.3 Unexpected bills like this can be a real burden, especially if you’re on a fixed income.

“I absolutely love my dental insurance. My dental office files the claims, leaving me with very little balance to pay.”

DeKalb School District 428 marks construction kickoff at transition program
By MEGANN HORSTEAD mhorstead@shawmedia.com
DeKALB – The new site of the Beyond One Barb Transition Center is in need of sprucing up, and DeKalb school is getting after it.
DeKalb School District 428 joined staff and community partners Aug. 9 to mark the start of facility renovations by hosting a construction kickoff at 530 Charter St., DeKalb.
The transition program is dedicated to serving students with intellectual and developmental disabilities ages 18 to 22. The program has been based out of DeKalb High School for years, but is expected to have a new location on Charter Street come January 2025.
Superintendent Minerva Garcia-Sanchez said she realizes how much closer the district is to helping students to exercise their autonomy and their independence.
“This building symbolizes a bridge from being a child, a student to becoming an adult in a way that is more supportive for our youngsters of [ages] 18 to 22. It will help build their self-efficacy,” Garcia-Sanchez said. “It will make them be a stronger individual when they go out to take on the courage that they need to get a job or to be independent in town or further out.”
Once the interior is gutted, the district has to prepare the building to meet the program’s needs. District officials said furnishings and appliances have been chosen to meet requirements set forth by the Americans with Disabilities Act and ensure accessibility for the diverse needs of the program’s students. Bathrooms also are undergoing renovations for the same reason. Most of the
work is inside the building, but there will be some exterior improvements to entrances, ramps and parking.
The district said it has a $1.5 million budget for renovating the site of the transition program.
The Beyond One Barb Transition Center was a long time in the making for the district, officials said.
Kyle Gerdes, the district’s director of student services, said things didn’t always seem like they’d pan out this way.
“We looked at many spaces over the many years,” Gerdes said. “We survived a pandemic, which kind of did put a delay into what our plans were.”
Gerdes said he’s excited to embark on this journey.
“There were many times where I think there were roadblocks or challenges presented ... or the timing wasn’t right, but there was always that vision, always that goal, to make this a reality,” he said. “The timing and the people, and here we are.”
The rest is history, Gerdes said.
Garcia-Sanchez said she’s personally moved by what the Beyond One Barb Transition Center means to her.
“As a parent of a child that would have benefitted from a space like this, it is definitely very heartwarming as well,” Garcia-Sanchez said.
Gerdes gave kudos to district staff and community partners for coming out to the event.
“We want that sense of community to be strong and live for a long time,” Gerdes said.
In closing the event, district staff and community partners took turns ceremoniously swinging golden sledge hammers into a wall.

DAR Sycamore chapter members participate in 133rd Continental Congress
new friends are the most valuable aspects of DAR Continental Congress,” Willrett said in the release.
Daughters of the American Revolution Gen. John Stark Chapter regent and delegate Donna Willrett and member Dawn Wexell recently participated in the organization’s 133rd Continental Congress.
The event was held June 26 through June 30 in Washington, D.C., according to a news release.
The congress is an annual event for national, state and chapter leaders and members to meet, report the year’s work, honor award recipients and plan future initiatives. The event featured business sessions, committee meetings, social functions and ceremonies honoring national DAR award winners.
The chapter earned a Bronze American Spirit recognition for magazine subscriptions. Wexell also received an outstanding member award for a commemorative event award honoring Vietnam veterans.
“Making memories and making
The National Society Daughters of the American Revolution is one of the world’s largest and most active service organizations and promotes education, historic preservation and patriotism.
“As we approach the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, Continental Congress provides a way for members to come together and sparkle with each other, celebrating our country’s distinct history from the national level down to their individual communities,” President General Pamela Rouse Wright also said in the release. “We are excited that 4,000 dedicated Daughters come together in our nation’s capital at DAR Headquarters to celebrate their service and accomplishments for the organization. While reflecting on the past year’s successes, Daughters also plan how DAR can continue as an even better patriotic service organization in the years to come.”

DeKalb to add more trips to Elburn Metra bus route
Changes also coming to bus routes on north side, near NIU
By KELSEY RETTKE krettke@shawmedia.com
DeKALB – DeKalb residents soon will have more opportunities to ride a public transit bus to the Metra train station in Elburn.
The city of DeKalb plans to add more trips to its Route 12 transit line effective Aug. 26, according to a news release. The line runs from downtown DeKalb to the train station.
City officials said the change is to accommodate growing use of that specific route line and expanded passenger numbers overall.
“This is good news for passengers,” City Manager Bill Nicklas said at a July 22 City Council meeting. “In response to some surprising strong support from our community, there’s an expansion of routes going to and from Elburn.”
Two evening trips between DeKalb and Elburn will be added to coincide with Northern Illinois University’s upcoming fall and spring semesters. The city also will add an afternoon trip during the break-service schedule, according to a news release.
Riders to Elburn are invited to park for free in downtown DeKalb to ride the bus to the train station. Frost Lot at East Locust Street between North Sixth and North Seventh streets is for Route 12 riders.
The Metra line goes all the way to downtown Chicago.
For more information or to view route maps, visit cityofdekalb.com.
Midnight trip added to Routes 17A, 18A
A midnight trip also will be added to Routes 17A and 18A, which officials said “meets the needs of the local workforce.”
Route 17 runs from downtown DeKalb to Sycamore Road. Route 18 runs from North Annie Glidden to Sycamore Road to the DeKalb County Health Department.
“That matches the full-service schedule, providing the same hours year round for riders using the route to commute to work,” city staff wrote in a news release.
More routes for growing NIU ridership
City officials said ridership from NIU also is growing.
To accommodate that, more buses will be added to Routes 2R and 2L. Route 5, which is “underutilized” according to the city, will be used to help meet that need.
Routes 2R and 2L run between NIU’s residence halls, West Lincoln Highway and Barsema Hall on campus. Route 5 ran from Eco Park to NIU’s Greek row.
Annie Glidden neighborhood route changes
City transit lines on Route 4 and Route 5 will be converted to be used full time on Route 10, according to the city. Route 10 will run every 15 minutes during peak hours when NIU is in session.
Route 10 runs from Eco Park to Twombly Road and Ridge Drive.
Those buses travel between the Annie Glidden and Normal Road corridors.
Costs associated with the changes in city transit routes are paid for with federal and state transit money.

DeKalb Wreckroom looks to get off to smashing start
By MEGANN HORSTEAD mhorstead@shawmedia.com
DeKALB – DeKalb Wreckroom, a safe and secure space known by many for creating a venue where people can smash inanimate objects to let off steam or just for fun, looks to be off to a smashing start in DeKalb.
At the Aug. 12 DeKalb City Council meeting, officials unanimously approved a special use permit in a pair of votes for an amusement establishment to be operated by Miles Mapes, managing partner for DeKalb Wreckroom. Mayor Cohen Barnes was absent.
With the City Council’s approval, Wreckroom has the clearance necessary to proceed with its Aug. 22 soft opening.
First Ward Alderwoman Carolyn Zasada said she’s excited to welcome Wreckroom to town.
“I think this is so fun,” Zasada said. “I took my kids to a rage room for a birthday a couple years ago, and it was just a fantastic experience. It was everything they hoped and dreamed for. All we ever hear is we need more stuff to do in DeKalb. So this is perfect. I love it. I’m sure you’ll be successful.”
Located at 901 Lucinda Ave., Unit G, the 2,900-square-foot establishment includes a rage room, splatter room and video game arcade.
Mapes said he spent about six months researching and even visiting some rage rooms around the country before he decided to set one up in his hometown.
“What I found was DeKalb deserved one, but I don’t believe we have the population to support a rage-only facility,” Mapes said. “That’s when we started looking at the offshoots. One thing we saw was inclusivity was
important, so we added the splatter room. That’s age inclusive. It’s sensory inclusive. It adds a different touch. Then, we went into the retro gaming lounges.”
Seventh Ward Alderman John Walker questioned the primary purpose of a Wreckroom.
Mapes referenced needed recreation for younger people in DeKalb, including from Northern Illinois University. That includes options for fun that don’t involve alcohol, he said.
“The primary purpose goes back to seeing a shift in DeKalb,” Mapes said. “We’re seeing a younger generation in town, a younger student base at NIU than we’ve seen probably in the history of NIU. We’re seeing statistics showing the lowest alcohol drinking numbers for [ages] 21 to 27 that we’ve seen in probably 50 years. DeKalb needs to put its best foot forward on alcohol and drug-free entertainment. As a third-generation local, I’m really excited to be the first step in advancing and investing our time and money in that as a community.”
In 2022, the City Council took similar action to extend a special use permit to allow G-Spot Lounge, an e-sports establishment that is a couple tenant spaces away in Village Commons. The building features several uses, including a coffee shop, comic book store, restaurants and a future church, city staff said.
The tenant space that Wreckroom is occupying used to house Boost Mobile and a tanning salon.
Wreckroom has projected hours of operation from 3 to 10 p.m. Thursday and Friday, from noon to 10 p.m. Saturday and from noon to 6 p.m. Sunday. The establishment would be closed Monday through Wednesday except by appointment.

Developer seeks changes to Sycamore complex
By CAMDEN LAZENBY clazenby@shawmedia.com
SYCAMORE – The owner of a Sycamore condominium complex is asking the city for permission to increase the number of buildings and units at Old Mill Park, documents show.
Brian Grainger, a real estate broker with O’Neil Property Group, is the namesake of Grainger properties, which operates six different residential communities in Sycamore. He filed a petition to amend a special-use permit request that will go before Sycamore’s Planning and Zoning Commission on Aug. 19.
In an Aug. 2 letter to City Manager Michael Hall, Director of Community Development John Sauter wrote that Grainger wants to increase the number of units inside his complex 16 of 21 buildings from four units to six in the second phase of his Old Mill Park development.
The request would see build on the almost 19-acre complex.
“Mr. Grainger’s proposed development is considered medium density and, as such, the recommended density is three to six units per acre in accordance with the city’s 2021 Comprehensive Plan,” Sauter wrote. “While the addition of 32 additional units would result in a density slightly above the recommended three to six units per acre, it aligns with the goals and objectives of the Comp Plan. The density does not contradict the [Unified Development Ordinance’s] intent for [planned unit developments], nor would it be detrimental to neighboring residential and commercial areas.”
The amendment to Grainger’s request regarding the multifamily residential buildings would allow him to increase the number of residential units in the development. The complex sits at the northwest corner of Route 23 and Mount Hunger Road in Sycamore.
If his request were approved, Old
Mill Park’s development would grow from 84 units to 116 units, according to city documents.
Sauter wrote that Grainger’s request has come “as a result of increasing interest from prospective buyers who desire smaller dwelling with the same amenities.”
The city’s Planning and Zoning Commission won’t have the final say, however. The request still would need approval from the Sycamore City Council.
If approved, the complex would have a mix of four-unit and six-unit buildings, plans show. All four-unit buildings would have two covered parking spaces and two outdoor spaces. In the six-unit buildings, the dwellings with two bedrooms also would be allowed two outdoor and two parking spaces.
The one-bedroom units in the larger buildings would be given one covered space and one outdoor space.
The complex would grow to 116 units and would have 53 guest parking spaces, according to city documents.
City officials asked Grainger to submit multiple traffic studies regarding the development. City staff reported that their findings showed westbound traffic on Mount Hunger Road would not impede traffic turning into the residential complex, according to city documents.
The Illinois Department of Transportation also requested modifications to the right of way along Route 23 near the residential complex, which Grainger will be responsible for, according to city documents.
Sauter wrote that the city does not have any issues with IDOT’s request.
“The city does not object to the requested paved pathway in lieu of the previously approved concrete sidewalk; however, maintenance of all paths and sidewalks will be the responsibility of the homeowners association in accordance with the previously approved development agreement,” Sauter wrote.

Sycamore mourns loss of longtime school board president
By CAMDEN LAZENBY clazenby@shawmedia.com
SYCAMORE – A moment of silence was held Aug. 13 at the beginning of a Sycamore Community School District 427 school board meeting to mark the passing of Jim Dombek, the board’s president who died the previous day.
Dombek, 68, was first elected to the board in 1997, when “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” was first published and Comet Hale-Bopp was seen across the world. Before the turn of the millennium, he was made board president and never relinquished the title.
In a statement provided to Shaw Local, Sycamore school board vice president Michael DeVito said Dombek “had the heart of a servant.”
“For decades he served the school district and his community in many roles. His impact touched many lives. From when we’d ‘duck jeeps,’ to serving on Pumpkin Fest [committee], to helping our car club with pro bono legal advice, Jim was willing to help. Generosity and servitude was his nature,” DeVito wrote.
With a law degree from IIT Chicago-Kent College of Law, Dombek was known for lending his services throughout the DeKalb County community. He worked with Habitat for Humanity of DeKalb County, the Sycamore Pumpkin Festival and other area organizations, particularly those that benefit students.
Ordained in 1991, Dombek also received a Master of Arts in Theology at Loras College in Dubuque and was a permanent deacon for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Rockford.
The Rev. Robert Gonnella of Newman Catholic Student Center in DeKalb said he’ll remember Dombek for the way he served his community.
“I think the word that sticks out to me most has been humility, and his just incredible humility as he has served this community, and his willingness to be there for people and to do what needs to be done and just to be of service. Service and humility, I think, really categorize or characterize his time here,” Gonnella said. “I’ve always really appreciated just his presence around, he’s got a very comforting and calming presence when he has been around, and I think people are always happy when he’s there.”
A visitation was held Friday at Butala Funeral Home in Sycamore and Saturday at Newman Catholic Student Center in DeKalb. A funeral Mass for Dombek was held at the church following visitation.
His family has requested donations to the Dombek Family Community Service Scholarship Fund, through the DeKalb County Community Foun-
dation, in lieu of flowers.
Sycamore school board member Alex Grados, a 2022 Sycamore High School grad who attends Northern Illinois University, wrote in an email to Shaw Local that Dombek’s 25-year tenure as board president “left a lasting legacy.”
“His passion for education and commitment to students and the community will be deeply missed,” Grados wrote. “Serving with him, Jim was always in high spirits, and his unwavering desire to make a difference in his community was truly admirable. My thoughts are with the Dombek family during this difficult time.”
Beth Marie Evans, who was elected to the board alongside Grados in April 2023, said she learned a lot from Dombek over the year they worked together.
“I just got a lot of wisdom from him in the year that I was on the board with him, and I just want to publicly give my condolences to his family, and just say that I’m very sorry for this great loss,” Evans said.
Christian Copple, the board’s newest member, said he’ll miss Dombek and his dry sense of humor.
“He cared deeply for Sycamore and our community,” said Copple, a Kane County public defender. “I may not
have always seen eye to eye with him on issues, but he always had wise council, a solid thought process behind his positions – something I think more attorneys, public officials should strive for. He was willing to give me career advice when I asked for it, and having kind attorneys like him in the area, to guide me early on, helped shape the practice that I do today, and how I conduct myself as an attorney.”
Board member James Chyllo spent five years on the board with Dombek, including during the brunt of the COVID-19 pandemic. He said he appreciated Dombek’s leadership through that era.
“[Dombek was] navigating the news as he was getting it, things were changing up to the minute prior to board meetings,” said Chyllo, recalling and appreciating how Dombek would let them express their opinons on the situation before providing his own.
Chyllo said he thought Dombek was “a true leader” because he listened to other’s opinions and didn’t put his thoughts before those of other board members.
Superintendent Steve Wilder said he thinks Dombek was a great leader because he was a good listener and
passionate about his community.
“He knew that the school district was a big piece of the community, but he always did it with respect, with fairness. You might have disagreed with him, but it’s not because of the way he treated you,” Wilder said. “He always came to board meetings prepared, and he always had a sound reason in terms of what his decision was going to be.”
The Sycamore school board discussed various ideas for restructuring the board’s committees and work flow during a special meeting Aug. 13, but no votes were taken. Although Dombek’s seat is now vacant, the board did not take any action on the matter.
Board vice president DeVito ran the Aug. 13 meeting, as he has done for most of the board’s meetings over the past four months, and will automatically assume the office of board president, according to board policy.
Reconciling with the board president’s death, DeVito shared a phrase Dombek would often say at board meetings that he said he’ll hold onto.
“We may not always agree on everything, but our board can always leave that disagreement at the meeting and keep respect and kindness for each other after we adjourn,” DeVito said in his statement, quoting Dombek.
