WEEK IN REVIEW Sycamore water main plan moves ahead By KATIE FINLON

kfinlon@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – The Sycamore City Council supported moving forward with engineering plans for a proposed water main replacement and road repair program in areas where residents previously have complained about water quality issues. Sycamore City Manager Brian Gregory said the proposed five-year water main replacement program started with the city’s water master planning in 2019, which was aimed at determining where the best bang for the buck was as far as replacing water main that’s underground. He said the water master plan helped guide city officials and there may have been some prioritization based on present conditions and what makes the most sense.

“However, it doesn’t take into account, necessarily, when streets were going to be repaved,” Gregory said. Gregory said the thought was to coordinate road repair planning with underground water main repair to help minimize community disruption as much as possible. “It’s disruptive when water main is put in – there’s no doubt about that,” Gregory said. “But having the street torn up – at least when it’s done, the water main’s done, the street’s done, and hopefully for 25 years those residents aren’t disrupted in the same way for that period of time.” Immediate work is to start in 2022 within the proposed plan, with city officials hoping engineering would begin sometime this year. Work would include the city replacing existing 4-inch diameter water main on Sabin Street, which has had four documented breaks with a re-

pair completed in November 2020, with an 8-inch water main. Existing water main on Exchange Street between Walnut and Sabin streets also would be replaced with larger mains during that time, along with existing mains on Illinois Route 64 between the Sycamore Public Library and Sabin Street. “The main purpose is to improve water quality,” according to city documents. Sycamore residents filed a class action lawsuit against the city in October on several counts, including fraud, deceptive business, negligence and public nuisance. The filing followed months of public outcry over concerns about water quality. Project priorities for 2023, with engineering expected to begin in 2022, would include Elm Street and DeKalb Avenue from Center Cross to Main Street, along with parts of South Street, Gregory said.

Chickens OK’d on unincorporated property By KATIE FINLON

kfinlon@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – After months of back and forth, backyard chickens will be allowed on unincorporated property. Area residents spoke in favor of the proposal while DeKalb County officials discussed the ordinance amendment that was ultimately approved by the County Board last week, With the amendment, a Genoa area family, and any other family, will be able to keep their backyard chickens on their unincorporated property. Sarah Mueller of unincorporated Genoa said she and her husband, James, had their 9-year-old daughter, Sienna Muel-

ler, research the care and keeping of hens before agreeing to her caring for them. Although she has spent most of her life raising geese, chickens, ducks and turkeys, she said, her family began the most recent journey of keeping their current flock of chickens about four years ago. “We made Sienna research chickens and how to responsibly care for them a year before we even got our chicks,” Mueller said. “We did as we were instructed – we asked our neighbors for approval. Sienna told them about her intents, told them about her research and all was well.” Then the violation stemming from a neighbor complaint came, Mueller said. After county officials laid out options for

the family following the complaint, she said, they went through the public hearing process in September 2020 to try to keep their chickens. “My neighbors spoke, sent letters of support and even signed a petition at that time,” Mueller said. Months after that hearing, the County Board voted, 21-3, during its virtual meeting on Feb. 17 to approve an ordinance change that would allow residents on unincorporated land that is 2 acres or less to keep backyard chickens, provided they meet county setback requirements and they are not deemed a nuisance. County Board members Jerry Osland, Roy Plote and Larry West voted against the proposed amendment.

Bookcase Project collecting children’s books for 10th year By KATRINA J.E. MILTON kmilton@shawmedia.com

The DeKalb/Sycamore Bookcase Project is collecting books for its 10th year of distributing personal libraries to children in the community. The project promotes literacy by providing 50 solid oak bookcases as starter libraries for children enrolled in the Two Rivers Head Start program. Donations of gently used or new books for children ages 3 to 5 are being collected for each of the 50 bookcase libraries. Books can be dropped off until mid-March at the DeKalb County Housing Authority, 310 N. Sixth St. in DeKalb. Construction of the bookcases was finished last week. A personalized brass nameplate and books will be added to each bookcase. Instead of holding an award ceremony in the spring for the recipient children and their families, the bookcases and books will be delivered to

Two Rivers, where families can pick them up. “This year has been rather unusual with COVID restrictions,” said John Rey, chairperson of the steering committee. “We weren’t able to have our award ceremony last year or this year, and we didn’t have our banquet, which helps us fundraise.” In lieu of the fundraising literacy banquet, donations were made by Bookcase Club members and supporters of the project. Other supporters include Barnes and Noble in Geneva, the DeKalb Public Library, First United Methodist Church in DeKalb and local daycare centers. “The goal of the project is to instill a lifelong love of reading in the children, helping them build early educational success and getting them ready for kindergarten,” Rey said. For more information about the DeKalb/Sycamore Bookcase Project, visit the project’s Facebook page.

ON THE RECORD ... with Heidi Morgan Who would you like to see go on the record? Let us know at readit@midweeknews.com

SYCAMORE – Heidi M. Morgan of Sycamore has many titles: wife, mother, corporate professional, aspiring guitarist – and “The Life Designer.” Morgan, 46, is CEO of her own limited liability company, Design the Life You Want. Her business goal is to help others attain a healthy work/ family balance, reduce stress, think positively, realize desires and enjoy the moment. To achieve these goals, Morgan has created a signature wheelhouse of tools, which she has put together based on her 22 years as both a scientist and sales professional. One of her business slogans is “I will change the way you think.” Morgan describes life designing as a method, process and lifestyle, a set of tools she has developed to teach others to become a positive, energetic force, becoming the best – and happiest – person they can be. Morgan offers a variety of services, including corporate and business mindset presentations and workshops, mindset reset Lunch & Learn or Coffee Hour presentations, women’s confidence and mindset presentations and workshops, custom presentations and workshops, one-on-one coaching, teen

Morgan spoke to MidWeek reporter Katrina Milton to discuss what it means to be a life designer, and easy changes to make to be happy.

lives that they want based on their experiences, where they’re at in life and where they would like to go in the future. I help them realize their purpose and, ultimately, help them be happy. Sometimes, people have a hard time being happy and figuring out how to be happy. A specialty of mine is finding their ultimate happiness, whether it’s in themselves, helping others or through their work or service in the community.

Milton: How did you become “The Life Designer?” Morgan: I always loved helping peo-

ple. I’ve always been the person anyone could talk to, from adults, peers, friends and strangers. When talking to others, I make people feel good, give good suggestions and am never too critical. In 1999, I received my master’s degree in biochemistry and cell

biology from Northern Illinois University. Pfizer hired me immediately after college. I worked there as a biochemist and drug discovery scientist in St. Louis. In 2010, they shut down my division. I loved my job, and it was a great learning experience. I then got a job in sales support in the corporate world supporting the sales of scientific instrumentation. I was able to travel all over the country and all over the world, including to Germany, Sweden and Japan. In 2017, I was the top sales person in my company and I achieved all sales goals. I traveled 48 out of 52 weeks that year.

Milton: What was it like working in the corporate world? Morgan: My life felt extremely out

of balance. I felt ill. A regular customer asked me, “What happened? You don’t look well, you don’t look happy.” I felt ill, I wasn’t happy and I lost my glow and my spark. That’s when I realized I had to balance my life, find the tools needed to help me heal so I could be the best mom, wife and worker I could be. Now I’m one of the happiest people, all the time.

Design the Life You Want Mini Guidebook for Women,” and created my signature presentation, “How to Design the Mindset You Want.” My tools from the e-book and presentation are what helped me heal so I could be the best mom, wife and worker I could be. My training is myself, and I always tell people, “I’m just like you.” I am very relatable. I teach off of my own experiences and the fact that I am, and have been in, the corporate world for so long, 22 years. I am writing another e-book, “The Design You Want Mini Guidebook for Teens and Young Adults.” My plan is to write more books, including one for seniors. The e-books are great, because they’re something people can look at, read and think about in their own time. People might be afraid or embarrassed to ask for help. I want to change that thinking. It’s good to get your feelings out and address your problems. The premise of the book for teens and youth is to tell them the story about being a salesperson so they’re not tired and exhausted when they’re my age. I don’t want them to have that same experience. I want them to be happy their entire life.

Milton: How do hobbies and a purpose lead to happiness? Morgan: When you find your inner

purpose, your inner life designer, you find happiness. Ultimately, people want to be happy. They don’t want a big house or a lot of money, they want to be happy. People are happiest when they are feeling fulfilled, their own personal needs are met and they’re helping others. … I use my “Signature Wheelhouse of Tools,” tools to provide people with so they know when their life is off-balance and they need to revisit the tools. The tools can help anyone get through anything in life, any problem they might encounter, whether it’s a big problem or a small problem. If you use the tools often enough, it becomes a habit.

making some changes. I don’t suggest making big changes all at once. Choose one goal: be healthier, workout, learn a new hobby. Don’t pick too many things at once. Dig deep down and pick one thing. Figure out one thing you can change, one thing you can do to make yourself happier. How to be successful is focusing on yourself, not what everyone else is doing. When you’re solely focused on what you’re doing, you’re getting yourself into a frame of mind doing self-care. Anybody can be better, there’s never an end to improving.

‘HATEFUL THINGS’ Exhibit on display at NIU’s Pick Museum explores racism in America By KATRINA J.E. MILTON kmilton@shawmedia.com

iewing some of the items in the latest exhibit at Northern Illinois University’s Pick Museum might make visitors uncomfortable. The traveling exhibit, “Hateful Things,” created and circulated by the Jim Crow Museum of Racist Memorabilia at Ferris State University, will be on display at the Pick Museum of Anthropology, Cole Hall 114, through April 9. The exhibit features 39 items that represent nearly 150 years of anti-Black and racist material and imagery. The exhibit is co-sponsored by the museum, NIU’s Center for Black Studies and Friends of the NIU Libraries. Reservations to tour the exhibit can be made via the museum’s website. Visiting the exhibit is free, but donations are accepted. A free virtual tour will be accessible for viewing on the museum’s YouTube channel. Rachelle Wilson, the museum’s curator, said that although the exhibit’s items might make some people feel uncomfortable, “seeing them is incredibly important.” “You might not want to see some of the images that are portrayed because they might make you uncomfortable, but you’re just viewing them as a museum exhibit,” Wilson said. “Some people have to look at those items every day and have to live with those stereotypes. They have to live with knowing that their ancestors were enslaved and treated like property. Seeing the items, being confronted with them, can have people learn more about the problematic imagery shown. “Some images are really, really hard to look at, including discussions of lynching and violence against Black bodies,” she said. “It’s time to get a little uncomfortable to understand why Black lives matter and why we need to start moving forward and making some changes.” Joseph Flynn, associate director of academic affairs for the center and associate professor of curriculum and instruction, described the exhibit as “a sampling of the history of racist and negative images of African Americans across history, from post-slavery and emancipation until today.” “Racism isn’t simply someone not liking someone, it’s an all pervasive experience, and part of that experience is how people are depicted throughout society,” he said. “African Americans were often depicted as being less than human, beastly, unintelligent, unclean, dangerous, as well as silly, lazy and buffoonish. These negative images were on everything: kitchen calendars, household products, fast food companies, toys, games, books, movies, everywhere,” he said. “These images were not meant to be complimentary. They were meant to represent African Americans in ways that made us seem dangerous or comical.” Wilson said she and Flynn have been planning to

The game, created in 2002, has landing spaces that reinforce racial stereotypes. It is part of the exhibit, “Hateful Things,” which runs through April 9. bring the exhibit to NIU’s campus for two years. “We have been planning the exhibit for two years, and in the two years, so much has happened, especially this past summer with the protests,” Wilson said. “It’s obvious why these conversations must take place. It’s an issue locally, nationally and globally.” Flynn said there has been a lot of interest in the exhibit so far, with many visitors’ reactions ranging from “disturbance to disgust” at the way Black people have been depicted throughout history. “People see [the exhibit] and ask the same question: why were they represented this way? Not as a knowledge question but more of an emotional or spiritual question,” Flynn said. “That’s part of the way racism works. It’s not just about equal protection under the law. It’s also about how an entire race of people are represented as somehow being animalistic, deficient or just plain silly. Those stereotypes persist, that’s why they’re so dangerous. “Having these kinds of images circulating through society and culture continues that tradition of damage and dehumanization,” Flynn said. “These negative images were not just advertisements or cute Mammy figurines you can put on your kitchen counter, they were the primary way African Americans were represented. At the same time, white people were being represented profoundly differently: as beautiful, noble, elegant, rich, intelligent, and, well, human.”

To contextualize the issue, during virtual guided tours of the exhibit, Flynn has asked students to do a Google image search of the words “beautiful woman.” “As you scroll and scroll and scroll down the results list, overwhelmingly, it’s overwhelmingly white women that are pictured,” Flynn said. “Only a smattering of a smattering of Black, Latina or Asian women are shown as being ‘beautiful’ in comparison to the sea of white female faces. Very few darker-skinned women are represented. When did we start thinking that there was something ugly about being Black? “That’s why the museum exhibit is so important. It shows the depth to which this negative connotation has permeated, how negative stereotypes were the norm for representations of African Americans, and in many ways, still are today,” he said. Before leaving the exhibit, visitors will have the opportunity to use markers and pens to write or draw on fabric quilt squares. When the exhibit ends, the squares will be sent to a Black quilter, who will create a quilt celebrating Black lives. The quilt will be housed and displayed at NIU’s Center for Black Studies.

DeKALB – Life during the COVID-19 pandemic has been difficult for the 80 residents of Heritage Woods of DeKalb, who have been unable to visit with their families in person since last spring. Their days – and their Valentine’s Day – were brightened with the donation of valentines made by members of the community. Enough valentines were collected to give three to each resident. “The valentines are a gift, and our residents will be so happy to receive them,” said Rachel Fauble, marketing director of Heritage Woods of DeKalb. “They will display their valentines all year, I know that they will make everyone really, really happy.” The valentines were collected and distributed by state Rep. Jeff Keicher, R-Sycamore, state Sen. Dave Syverson, R-Rockford, Winnebago County Board Chairman Joe Chiarelli and Belvidere Mayor Mike Chamberlain. The local government agents partnered to host a “Valentines for Seniors” card drive. More than 4,500 valentines were collected in total and were distributed to senior citizens living in residential care facilities in DeKalb, Boone and Winnebago counties, which make up

Prairie Elementary School in Sycamore, said that about 50 students made valentines, including second grade classes and remote learning students. “Since COVID affected how we celebrate Valentine’s Day this year, we thought we’d bring happiness to people who have had a hard time, being unable to see their loved ones because of the pandemic,” Wesley said. “I’m glad we could participate and give valentines to people who might not have received any otherwise.” “The valentines are something to brighten their day during the dark and dreary hibernation of February, especially with COVID,” Keicher said. “I have been so impressed by the number of valentines we received. I thought we’d receive 300 or 500, or that we’d get the small grade school valentines that come in a box. The majority of them are handmade, each unique, colorful and creative.” Lindsey Signorella, Heritage Woods of DeKalb’s administrator, said the residents who received the valentines were “so honored at the community’s thoughtfulness.” “Thank you for all of the support and understanding,” she said. “We appreciate it – and the valentines – so much.”

LOOKING BACK

Lon Smith, the well-known meat merchant, has purchased a new Marmon car from the G. H. Deane & Co. Agency, with which he expects to enjoy traveling about the country during the summer months. The new machine is a beauty. G.K. Milton of Big Rock, Ill., was a Cortland caller on Wednesday. Mr. Milton has rented the blacksmith shop here known as the Len Pierce shop. We understand he will conduct an automobile repair shop. He has rented the Methodist parsonage. Malta people forgot that Tuesday was the birthday anniversary of George Washington and went to the bank, only to find the door locked and the little sign, “legal holiday” staring them in the face. Believing that the roads in the town of Malta could be greatly improved, a team and drag were at work yesterday in all parts of town. This method proved successful in eliminating a great many of the ruts before it again froze hard. It is probable that when the roads thaw, the drag will again be put to work. During the last few days Fire Chief McEvoy has had electric tail lights installed on both fire trucks doing away with the red and white lanterns which have always been used. This will save considerable in a month’s time in the way of kerosene bill. A tree was planted in Genoa in memory of Lieut. Baynard Brown Co. K 26th Inf.; Private Fred L. Niss, Camp Grant; Private Tony Muhr, 18 U. S. Battalion; Private William Wolters, Co. C, 58th Inf., and Private Leon Ray Listy, Co. A. 129th Inf. A shoe maker employed at the DeKalb Shoe hospital evidently has a private still located somewhere about DeKalb. The

Genoa ticket office of the Milwaukee railroad, was found yesterday alongside of the county line road north of Maple Park. The suitcase has been torn open and rummaged through and then apparently had been tossed out of an auto. Contents of the suitcase were all wet when the bag was found. 1971 – 50 YEARS AGO The first step toward allowing overthe-bar and package sales of liquor on Sunday was taken up last night when the DeKalb City Council instructed the city attorney to draw up an ordinance for that purpose.

man was arrested Saturday afternoon after he had insulted several women customers. He remained in jail over Sunday and was released yesterday after he had paid a fine of $20 and costs. Hardly had he been out of jail an hour when the police department was informed the man was drunk again. 1946 – 75 YEARS AGO The Turner Brass Works of Sycamore is planning an extensive recreational program for its employee’s advantage this spring and summer. The program is to include baseball, golf, badminton, croquette, and horseshoe pitching. Both the team and individual sports will be organized into tournaments after some preliminary practice. Merton Leifheit of Hinckley who served for over three years with the Navy received his discharge at Great Lakes last week. Although activities of the DeKalb chapter of the American Red Cross were greatly increased during the war years, there are still many phases of the work which must be carried on even though peace has arrived. Some seem to lose sight of the fact that the Red Cross is an established peacetime agency as well as a wartime organization. Residents of the Genoa community are going to be asked to approve a bond issue of about $25,000 to underwrite the cost of purchasing and remodeling the

Robert Slater building at the northeast corner of Main and Genoa streets for a city building. Ideal Industries employees are now receiving a mid-morning lift during the regular rest period. The long-awaited coffee counter is in operations now serving a total of about 195 during the rest period and lunch hour. During the morning break, 115 customers are served in four minutes. Coffee is also available to workers on the second shift during similar periods. Automobile license plates are now being issued at the fastest pace ever attained since Illinois began registration of motor cars, Secretary of State Edward J. Barret has announced. He stated that registrations are 62,000 ahead of last year for passenger cars despite unavoidable delays in obtaining delivery of license plates by the manufacturers. Using fiber, rather than steel plates, Illinois was fortunate in not being jammed because of the steel strike. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Furland went to Hinckley Sunday afternoon to bid farewell to their niece and family, Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Ellers and son who left for Albion, Neb., Monday to make their home there. The Furlands were supper guests of Carl Baie, also of Hinckley. A suitcase belonging to Mrs. Emma Corson which was stolen on Saturday evening when thieves broke into the

Three houses at the southeast corner of Pine and North Seventh streets in DeKalb will be demolished by this summer if the planning commission approves this as the location for the new fire station. The homes at 324 North Seventh, 330 North Seventh and 714 Pine St. would be purchased for $74,500 and the new main firehouse located there. Sycamore City Council members were told last night by the owner of DeKalbbased taxicab service that also operates in Sycamore that it’s highly possible that in a few years the city won’t have cab service. John Scott said last night that his operation is losing money or just breaking even in operating the Sycamore service. 1996 – 25 YEARS AGO The Soldier’s and Sailor’s Memorial Clock will be renovated this year and moved to the park being created on the old Amoco site at First Street and Lincoln Highway. The clock, which was dedicated 75 years ago this month, will become the focal point of the park. An employee of the Floit Ready Mix Concrete Co. of Sycamore will monitor the flow of concrete mixture on a conveyor belt that is being poured to form the walls of the Sycamore Library expansion wing. The cement had to travel up an elevator, then onto a conveyor belt, through an auger and finally into the wall form. Mixture from about 10 cement trucks were used to fill the hole.

1921 – 100 YEARS AGO Farmers are being offered an opportunity to have wool blankets and robes made far below the retail price through the DeKalb County Soil Improvement Association, due to the wool pool. Circulars to this effect have been sent to the farmers in this vicinity and give the details of the cost of production of the blankets and auto robes with and without the wool furnished. The savings to the farmers is considerable and many are availing themselves of the opportunity.

BRIEF Libraries partner for movie, discussion DeKALB – The DeKalb Public Library has partnered with the Northbrook Public Library and other libraries around Illinois to bring patrons a live, virtual Q&A session with the creators of the award-winning documentary, “The Long Shadow,” at 7 p.m. Feb. 24. “The Long Shadow” follows former CNN Senior Producer, TED contributor and Emmy Award-winning Director Frances Causey as she traces her family’s legacy of white privilege, placing it in the context of the history of anti-Black racism in the U.S. that began with slavery and continues to impact our society today. Causey and Producer Sally Holst passionately seek the hidden truth and the untold stories of how America – guided by the South’s powerful political influence – steadily, deliberately and, at times, secretly established white privilege in our institutions, laws, culture and economy. Patrons can view “The Long Shadow” for free until Feb. 26 by visiting thelongshadowfilm. com/libraries. Register for this event by visiting thelongshadowfilm.com/libraries. There are a limited number of seats available, although there will be a waitlist and the video of the program will be available. For more information or to get help registering, contact Britta at brittak@dkpl.org or 815-756-9568, ext. 2100. – The MidWeek

THE MIDWEEK SYCAMORE – A new collaboration between the DeKalb County Nonprofit Partnership and the University Honors Program at Northern Illinois University allows nonprofit organizations to receive feedback about their website from Honors students free of charge. In a news release, University Honors Director Andrea Radasanu said the partnership “provided students with the opportunity to develop specific website assessment skills while assisting local nonprofit organizations.” The Website Once-Over Opportunity included 16 local nonprofit organizations and 37 students in fall 2020. It was available to nonprofit members of DCNP and students seeking Honors Engaged Credit. All students received training from NIU’s Division of Enrollment Management, Marketing and Communications. After being assigned a nonprofit’s website, students provided structured feedback about accessibility, content, inclusive language, navigation and layout. “This opportunity is a perfect example of connecting the community with

Ellwood House lecture covers women, WWII THE MIDWEEK DeKALB – The Ellwood House and DeKalb County History Center will host “The Journey of Mollie’s War: WACs and WWII,” a free lecture by Illinois Humanities Road Scholar Cyndee Schaffer, at noon March 4. Members of the Women’s Army Corps were the first women other than nurses to serve overseas in World War II. Cyndee Schaffer’s mother, Mollie Weinstein Schaffer, was one of them. Drawing upon excerpts from Mollie’s letters written home during the war,

this presentation provides a romantic, yet frightful, glimpse into the life of a woman in uniform during this crucial time in history. The presentation is part of Brown Bag Lunch/Local Lore, the museums’ series of free monthly lectures. The one-hour program will take place virtually via Zoom. To register, contact Audrey King at 815-756-4609 or king@ellwoodhouse. org. Brown Bag Lunch/Local Lore is supported by the Mary E. Stevens Concert and Lecture Fund.

Officials announce mobile health unit on the way amid vaccine rollout By KATIE FINLON

kfinlon@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Nearly a year in to the COVID-19 pandemic throughout DeKalb County, health and local fundraising officials say a mobile health unit to aid vaccine distribution for harder-to-reach areas of the county is coming soon. Dan Templin, executive director of the DeKalb County Community Foundation, said the foundation has awarded COVID-19 related grants through its relief fund throughout the year, with those funds going toward personal protective equipment and logistical planning for vaccine distribution. “Even when we didn’t know when [the vaccine] would be coming,” Templin said. Templin said Lisa Gonzalez, public health administrator for the DeKalb County Health Department, had been asking for months about status of funding for a mobile health unit with hard -to-reach areas and people in mind, since the health department doesn’t have satellite offices beyond its home base on Annie Glidden Road in DeKalb. The problem was state and federal funding weren’t enough to cover the cost of building a medically equipped trailer with vaccine storage capabilities, he said. Both the Moderna and the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine require significantly cold storage capacities. According to the CDC, Moderna vaccine arrives already frozen, between negative 13 and 5 degrees Fahrenheit. They can be stored up to 30 days in a refrigerator between 36 and 46 degrees Fahrenheit. Pfizer requires even colder temperatures: between negative 112 and negative 76 degrees Fahrenheit and requires a special thermal shipping container. Vaccines are brought up to room temperature before being administered, though once done, they can’t be put back into cold storage. Therefore, obtaining a temperature-controlled mobile unit was vital to ensuring vaccine mobilization would be possible. Templin said the foundation felt it was a good, tangible way to bring vital health services – especially during the pandemic – to more rural parts of the county. So recently, the foundation helped pay for the $90,000 specially outfitted unit – which will not only have storage capabilities, but will also be temperature controlled and have the technology for data connectivity. “So it’s not just like buying a trailer that’s an empty trailer with cedar walls,” Templin said.

A mobile health unit trailer, instead of a bus used for training professionals on administering COVID-19 tests, will be used to aid vaccine distribution in harder-to-reach areas of DeKalb County. Templin said he anticipates the mobile health unit being used regularly for vaccines, but could be used longer term as well. Over time, he said, thousands could benefit from it. “We didn’t even see it as just a onetime investment that’s going to just be used for six months and then it sits in a parking lot,” Templin said. Gretchen Sprinkle, executive director of Kishwaukee United Way, said the organization’s mission is to improve quality of life for county residents, with a focus on education, income and health. “So when this opportunity was presented to collaborate with other funders in the community to help the health department to vaccinate people so we can be safer during pandemic … it really was a no brainer that we would contribute to this in whatever way we could,” Sprinkle said. Sprinkle said DeKalb County is just as rural as it is urban, so they thought it was important to help gather funds to help provide care for people who don’t have easy access for vaccines and beyond – including those who live in the more southern parts of the county. She said it took less than a week to come up with enough funds to make the purchase. “That is a huge benefit and I can’t see anything but good things for the community through that,” Sprinkle said. Templin said the unit has been ordered already but orders for that kind of thing have been backed up – which is to be expected with vaccine rollout. He said he anticipates the mobile health

unit to be delivered at the end of April or beginning of May. “So we’ve got the money raised,” Templin said. “We’ve got it covered.” Gonzalez said the health department doesn’t have the means to offer their own transportation for patients trying to get the vaccine, though TransVAC has been a trusted partner for a long time in picking up and dropping off harder to reach patients within the county. She said talks for the mobile health unit have gone on for a while and, when the pandemic hit about a year ago, health officials more seriously discussed the mobile health unit idea. “Eventually we would like to have drive-thru vaccine clinics when the weather improves some,” Gonzalez said. Gonzalez said the health department has been very fortunate to have the foundation partner with them, whether it’s for PPE or vaccines for the community. “They were there when there was nothing else available,” Gonzalez said. “And, once again, they’ve really stepped up and partnered with us in a big way to provide this mobile health unit.”

In the meantime

Mike Neuenkirchen, associate director for Voluntary Action Center, said there has been less than half a dozen riders that have used the service since the agency started tracking that data a few weeks ago, when the COVID-19 vaccines started to become more available within DeKalb County. “It certainly hasn’t been a huge amount of people or anything like

that,” Neuenkirchen said, adding that it’s still early in the vaccination process and, “what’s more important is that we’re available, should anyone need us.” Like most transit systems nationwide, Neuenkirchen said, TransVAC has seen between a 40% and 60% decrease year over year in that demand. He said there even has been less Kishwaukee College shuttle ridership than before and it has become more of a dial-a-ride program, since a lot of classes moved online. “It’s a whole new world,” Neuenkirchen said. Riders wanting to book door-to-door rides outside of DeKalb, Sycamore and Cortland first must register at vacdk. com/about-dialaride/. For registration questions or booking a ride, call 815758-3932 outside of Sandwich and call 815-787-6219 in the Sandwich area. Marcus Cox, transit manager for the City of DeKalb, said Transdev, which also serves Northern Illinois University, also saw a decrease in ridership for both fixed routes and door-to-door bus service, especially after NIU removed in-person classes. “Overall, in 2020, we saw a 54% reduction in ridership across all of our services compared to 2019,” Cox said. That’s less of an impact than most urban transit systems, which have been seeing up to 80% in decreased ridership, Cox said. Despite the reduction in ridership, he said, the agency still tries to maintain route frequency to help keep social distancing issues at a minimum and so students who are living in residence halls and student apartments still have access to the service. Cox said the Route 18 bus goes to the DeKalb County Health Department building in DeKalb at least every hour between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. and the Route 2L or 2R buses go to the NIU Convocation Center about every 10 minutes. He said it also became commonplace earlier in the pandemic to remove the exchange of cash for bus fare and the only route charging fare now is the Elburn Metra Station shuttle. Neuenkirchen said the agency continues to schedule rides with an eye toward social distancing, limiting transportation to a couple of riders at a time per vehicle. Per a more recent federal order, he said, masks continue to be required for all drivers and passengers. “Until there’s a change in that, we will be following that for the foreseeable future,” Neuenkirchen said. More information about door-todoor and fixed route services within DeKalb is available at cityofdekalb. com/1283/DeKalb-Public-Transit.
