By CAMDEN LAZENBY clazenby@shawmedia.comSYCAMORE – A proposed marijuana craft grower facility was barred from further pursuing a Sycamore city permit after the Sycamore City Council voted on April 17 to change city code, rendering the proposed location unfit for the business.
Chris Mayer and Arney Silvestri of 421 California Partners LLC declined to comment after the City Council meeting ended their attempt to establish a marijuana craft grower facility at 421 N. California St. in Sycamore. The petitioners already had required a state license to operate and were seeking a local license to open up shop locally.
“They did what they did,” Silvestri said.
City documents show the marijuana product would have been grown indoors before being packaged and sold to dispensaries in accordance with the Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act.
Two votes were before the council, one for the California Partners LLC permit request, and a second to amend the Sycamore city code to establish updated parameters that a marijuana business could
SYCAMORE– The DeKalb County Community Foundation is accepting online applications for five of the foundation’s scholarships. The scholarships accepting applications include:
• Cindy Graves Nursing Scholarship: The scholarship provides support to DeKalb County residents currently working as nursing professionals and continuing their nursing education. The application deadline is June 1.
• Ed and Kim Kapper Physical Therapy Scholarship: The scholarship will support a
establish operation within city limits. The city of Sycamore does not have a recreational marijuana dispensary or other related business in the city. Sycamore’s city code hasn’t been updated regarding cannabis since the drug was first approved for medical use in 2014, documents show.
Silvestri addressed crime concerns and other considerations brought before Sycamore’s Planning and Zoning Commission earlier this month. The petitioner offered assurances that the business would follow state and local law which carry strict stipulations about operation, use and sale of recreational marijuana.
Third Ward Alderwoman Nancy Copple said she received seven calls and texts from constituents who were in favor of the proposed marijuana craft grower facility, but 17 more who voiced opposition to the proposal. Copple said those constituents in favor told her they don’t see any difference between a marijuana craft grower and craft brewery, and that the business would provide extra tax revenue for the city. A proposed agreement between petitioners and the city of Sycamore, if approved, would have established a percentage of the
DeKalb County high school graduate attending an accredited university or college’s physical therapy program. The deadline to apply is June 1.
• Jeffrey A. Trail Memorial Scholarship: The scholarship supports recent high school graduates who are formally admitted and attending the U.S. Naval Academy. The application deadline is July 31.
• Renaissance Scholarship: The scholarship provides support to students who were part of the workforce after high school and are seeking an undergraduate degree. Applicants must be a DeKalb County resident or live within the Kishwau-
business’ revenue to go to supporting the city’s fire and police departments.
Those opposed voiced concerns about the recreational drug.
“That’s seven people pro,” Copple said. “I’ve had 17 people against, and they are [like], ‘Not a fan. Yikes, don’t like the idea. No way. No. Best to go outside of city limits. I don’t like where the location is.’ ”
Copple said she also received emails from seven residents voicing opposition.
“I’m thinking as a community the people are – not that I’m against you guys, you guys are great people, wonderful – but the idea of cannabis in Sycamore is not being a good thing,” Copple told the petitioners. “We’re not the moral police. I know that. Mayor, that’s what you’ve said before. ‘We’re not the moral police,’ but people in Sycamore are telling you they don’t want it.”
The change in city code came at the recommendation and motion by 2nd Ward Alderman Chuck Stowe. His proposal was supported by the City Council in a 6-1 vote. Second Ward Alderman Pete Paulsen was the lone no vote. Fourth Ward Alderwoman Virginia Sherrod was absent from the meeting.

DeKALB – Stage Coach Players is set to open its next production, the British play “Funny Money,” on April 27.
The play is scheduled to run two weeks, according to a news release.
“Funny Money” tells the story of Henry Perkins, a mild-mannered, middle-aged accountant, who comes home from work forgetting that it’s not only his birthday but that he and his wife, Jean, will be having their best friends, Vic and Betty Johnson, over for dinner.
Henry is acting strange, however, and starts making plans for an outof-country trip for Jean and himself. Jean finally finds out why Henry is acting so peculiarly.
He mistakenly picked up the wrong briefcase on his way home from work. Instead of finding his gloves, scarf and cheese and chutney sandwich, he’s found nearly $1 million in used bills.
The cast features Galen Malick as
Henry Perkins, Wendy Tritt as Jean Perkins, Steve Challgren as Vic Johnson and Elenia Dokos as Betty Johnson. The rest of the cast includes Greg Anderson as Sgt. Slater, Chris Porterfield as Sgt. Davenport, Barb Kolb as Bill and Will McJunkin as Passerby.
“Funny Money” is based on the 1994 play of the same name written by Ray Cooney. The Stage Coach production will be directed by Bernie Schuneman, who previously directed the Stage Coach’s “Lend Me A Tenor” in 2018.
Performances of “Funny Money” will be at 7:30 p.m. April 27-29, and May 5-6, at Stage Coach Theatre, 126 S. Fifth St., DeKalb.
There also will be matinee performances at 2:30 p.m. April 30 and May 7.
Tickets cost $13 for seniors and children ages 13 and younger, and $15 for everyone else.

DeKALB – Huskie Harvest, a Northern Illinois University initiative created in an effort to feed food insecure students has repacked more than 1,000 pounds of food that was destined to be wasted in fewer than three months.
Nancy Prange, director of dietetic internships at NIU, said she began recovering food through Huskie Harvest on Feb. 1, because she wanted to help students with an issue she thinks is often overlooked. More than 500 pounds of food was recovered in the first month, Prange said.
“We do have a food insecurity issue on campus and this is, you know, nationwide,” Prange said. “A lot of times we think if you can afford to go to college you should be able to afford to eat but that’s not always the case. When students have to make decisions between buying books and buying food, paying rent or buying food, it can impact both their health as well as their education.”
Huskie Harvest doesn’t just provide a benefit to food insecure individuals on campus, but it also allows food that would otherwise have been earmarked for the trash to be recovered and eaten. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, about a third of the food intended for human consumption in the U.S. ends up as waste.
“This kind of came out of a couple of classes within my public health degree and so the idea was really to decrease food waste and then also be able to help support our students that are hungry,” Prange said.
Prange, who earned her master’s and doctorate degrees in public health at NIU, has been on campus for 14 years. She said she used her connections to get the program going –namely Dan Koenen, executive director of campus dining.
“Without campus dining’s support, this program could not happen,” Prange said.
Koenen has been on campus for six years and said during that time he’s held discussions with campus officials and faculty about running a similar program.
“As we came out of [COVID-19], we were back on campus, put our heads together and said let’s do this,”
Koenen said. “[Prange] was able to get student volunteers to pack and label the food. We made it available to them anytime we had a catering event and had leftover food.”
Dietetic interns seeking to become registered dietitians have to do more than 1,000 hours of supervised practice experience, so Prange worked the
Huskie Harvest program into the rotation of experiences her interns have.
Prange’s interns aren’t collecting scraps from dining options open to students. Instead, they’re called in after there’s an event with food catering services.
“Most events are kind of a buffet
style, which when you prepare for a buffet you have to over produce food so there’s kind of planned leftovers,” Prange said. “So this is food that previously in February would have just been thrown away.”
Koenen said anytime a campus

SYCAMORE – While the county’s biggest annual nonprofit fundraiser, Give DeKalb County, won’t kick off its 10th year until May 4 offering online and drop-off events, donors can start showing their financial support.
Donations via mail opened Thursday, April 20, according to the DeKalb County Community Foundation, which hosts the annual campaign that raises money for dozens of area nonprofits.
“Donors have many options during Give DeKalb County,” DeKalb County Nonprofit Partnership Director Ben Bingle said in a news release. “There are multiple ways to give and a record number of participating organizations to choose from. Thank you to all who plan to show their support and make a difference during Give DeKalb County.”
The drop-off event will be held from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. May 4 at the DeKalb County Community Foundation, 475 DeKalb Ave., Sycamore, according to the release.
Donors can drop off their donation forms and checks and watch the Give DeKalb County total grow. A percentage of each donation will be leveraged against a bonus pool. Refreshments will be provided at the drop-off location.

catering event has leftovers, the excess food is brought back to the kitchen and placed in coolers. Then he calls Prange to say there’s food available to be packaged for Huskie Harvest.
When dietetic interns arrive, they freeze and package the food with a Huskie Harvest label that includes the name of the item, the main ingredients, any allergens and the date it was frozen, as well as reheating instructions. Once the food is packaged, it’s brought to the Huskie Food Pantry, where twice a week students can take as many meals as they want.
“This program can help students have one less hard decision to make, so that they can have the food that they need,” Prange said. “But it’s not just about calories or just any kind of
Participants donating in person can print a donation form, complete the form indicating the organizations and donation amounts, and write a check payable to “DCCF” by May 4. To mail a donation, write to the DeKalb County Community Foundation, 475 DeKalb Ave., Sycamore.
Donations can be made online by credit card, debit card, ACH transfer, or mobile wallet from midnight May 3 to to midnight May 4. The minimum amount for online donations is $5. To donate online or see a list of participating nonprofits, visit GiveDeKalbCounty.org.
In 2022, Give DeKalb County attracted 7,626 donations from donors in all 50 states and four countries around the world.
“No matter how you plan to give, your donation is boosted by the Bonus Pool, meaning your generosity goes even further during Give DeKalb County,” Bingle said in the release. “Donors can visit the website now to learn more about participating organizations, the Bonus Pool, and other details.”

food, it’s about nutritious quality food. That is what makes someone food secure, knowing where their next meal is coming from and the quality and the nutrition value of that meal is healthy.”
As of April 19, Prange said Huskie Harvest had packed more than 1,000 recovered food items – weighing more than 1,000 pounds – for the Huskie Food Pantry.
While feeding hungry members of the community is the priority, there’s also an environmental benefit to reducing food waste.
“When you look at a landfill, the No. 1 producer of greenhouse gasses is food – specifically in a landfill,” Prange said. “So the less food that we send to the landfill, the lower our carbon footprint and the better for our environment. NIU is really trying to reduce our carbon footprint and be more sustainable, so this fits into that mission as well.”
DeKALB – The Family Service Agency’s Club 55 held a ribbon-cutting recently to celebrate its new location.
The senior center has moved from its previous location at 330 Grove St. to Bethlehem Lutheran Church, 1915 N. First St. in DeKalb. Family Service Agency announced the club’s relocation earlier this year after DeKalb city leaders decided to solicit proposals to redevelop the senior center’s former home at 330 Grove St., and the former city annex, 217 S. Fourth St., DeKalb.
In January, DeKalb City Council voted 6-0 to move forward with a plan to sell two adjacent buildings at 217 S. Fourth St., the former city hall annex, and 330 Grove St. to Pappas Development. The DeKalb developer offered the city $100,000 for the parcels, seeking no financial aid from the city. Under Pappas’ development plans, the building at 330 Grove St. – which formerly housed the DeKalb Senior Center and a number of nonprofits including the Youth Service Bureau for more than four decades – will be demolished and could be marketed to national brand drivethru businesses.

At a meeting held yesterday it was decided to reorganize the orchestra known as “Chandler’s Orchestra,” and with the new organization much different from the old one to start anew in the field. From present plans the musicians will go under the name of the “Oswald-Chandler Orchestra,” and continue to play as they did. Zach Chandler, manager, will still be at the piano and take care of all business for his players, while he will be represented in DeKalb by Harry Oswald, the drummer. The new organization is beginning with a fresh start and hopes to get all the business that comes its way.
As in other years, the school children of the Glidden School will continue to have their garden again this year. The vacant lot across from the school has been plowed and already for seeding. Every class in the school has a certain space allotted to it, and may plant anything it wishes. In other years a large amount of vegetables was raised each year, and the products being sold to Williston Hall for use during the summer months. Any day now there is a large class of children busily at work on the plot.
Jacob Haish has a large force of men at work on his many houses about the city taking down the storm doors and replacing them with screens. The men are a little earlier than usual this year, but as they have about 1,800 screens including doors and windows, it will take them some time. Although fly time is still a few weeks off, the time does not take long in passing and with the installing of the screens now, they will be up in good time for fly season.
Shrubbery and trees are now arriving for the beautification of the lawn at the Glidden Memorial Hospital on South First Street in DeKalb. The ground has been prepared for the planting, which will probably be done some time this week. Plans have been made where each tree and bush shall be placed, which will lend harmony to the lawn and parking. When the trees are all set and the grass is green, the lawn will be one of the most beautiful in the city.
Excavators on the new addition to the Methodist church in DeKalb are today ready for the laying of the cement foundation. So far in the past days the men have kept busy at the work which is
the reason for the basement being dug in such a quick time. Cement, stone and sand is being hauled for the foundation work. Dirt hauled away is spread on the parsonage lawn to level and fill in low places. As soon as the foundation is laid, rapid progress may be made on the building proper.
The original “Pioneer” will once again play a starring role in the drama of transportation this summer. This, the fifth time, however, it will ride the rails mounted on one of the flat cars that will make up the Centennial Train to visit DeKalb and a score of other cities in the Midwest this summer. The famed locomotive underwent extensive grooming in the North Western shops for the coming trip. In addition to repairing and reconditioning the locomotive, draftsmen, designers, carpenters and steel workers and laborers worked together to build from scratch a duplicate of the original tender and an exact replica of the first coach to roll behind the “Pioneer.”

Hinckley won’t be so “isolated” as feared when it was learned that the mail train known as the “dinky” was to be taken off after this week. A fast train from Minneapolis will stop mornings enroute east about 9:30 o’clock and will return stopping at Hinckley at 11:19 o’clock starting this coming week.
Hinckley business men and volunteer workers of the community have been contributing steadily in a volunteer labor movement to construct a shelter house at Pioneer Park, near the high school. The shelter house is to be 32 by 44 feet in size, will have a novel aide wall arrangement, which will permit the wall panels to be shoved overhead when air is desired, there will be two fireplaces and running water. The masonry is being constructed of cement blocks and the entire structure will be modern and in splendid taste.
License investigators of the office of the Secretary of State were in DeKalb today checking on old licenses, a number of motorists being stopped. All autos and trucks having 1947 license plates were stopped and the drivers warned that they should secure new plates. The laws state that the 1948 plates should be on the vehicles on January 1 but several weeks of grace are given to allow all ample time.
The Ellwood House Museum will open its doors for another season on Sunday when the annual spring open house is held. The mansion, built in 1879 by Col. Isaac L. Ellwood, barbed wire manufacturer, is located at 509 N. First St. In 1964 it was donated to the city as a museum by the Colonel’s grandchildren and his daughter-in-law, Mrs. Erwin Perry Ellwood.
The DeKalb Police Department will run a special bicycle licensing session in the Municipal Building lobby. New licenses, which cost 25 cents, must be on bikes after May 1. The police have been licensing bicycles at schools throughout the city in recent weeks, and Saturday’s session is for children and adults who still need licenses.
DeKalb Mayor Jesse Chamberlain confirmed that he will include a salary hike ordinance on the agenda of a special City Council meeting at 8 p.m. Monday. Chamberlain’s salary proposal would triple the mayor’s salary to $3,600 and the councilmen’s pay to $1,800.

DeKALB – The DeKalb Police Department’s focus on hiring more officers was named by city leaders again last week as a priority amid 2022 crime data recently released by the department that reports calls for service are up while violent crime is down.
Police Chief David Byrd pointed to the report as evidence of people feeling safer when milling about town.
“I would say that we are definitely getting safer,” Byrd said. “Perception is really one of the most important parts of this. If you feel like you’re safe, then you feel like you are.”
Byrd attributes the reason why he’s confident about the work that he’s doing with the police department –which operates a $14.9 million budget with 60 sworn officers and 26 civilian employees, records show – to the steps he’s taken to make DeKalb a safer place.
Byrd was first brought on board to lead DeKalb police in May 2021, following a period of social unrest that unfolded several months earlier in DeKalb and across the nation in the wake of the high-profile murder of George Floyd, a Black man, killed by a Minneapolis police officer who is white.
DeKalb ended summer 2022 with a slew of unrelated shootings reported three days in a row. Public calls for solutions to the August violent crime spree made its way to City Hall, where
Mayor Cohen Barnes called the occurrences a “significant issue.”
The unrelated August 2022 shootings in the city’s north side left multiple people injured and an 18-year-old dead following a midday shooting outside West Ridge Apartments. Just days earlier, a 13-year-old was charged with attempted murder after another teen was shot in the back blocks from an elementary school.
Byrd said at the time that violent crime was a “community issue” that can’t be resolved by just policing alone. He said police patrols in the area continue to be vigilant.
In September, the DeKalb City Council also approved a new crime-free housing initiative meant to target negligent landlords or residences where frequent criminal activity might occur.
This week, Byrd pointed to the statistics from the annual report to support his assertion that DeKalb seems safer.
“As far as the numbers are concerned, yes, we are now able to make more proactive traffic stops,” he said. “We weren’t able to do that last year because we were handling so many calls of services. So, officers weren’t able to be proactive. We’d get a lot of complaints about speeding and other traffic offenses. Right now, since January, officers have been very proactive.”
In 2022, the police department issued
See CRIME, page 11
Continued from page 10
3,661 traffic citations to motorists compared with 2,208 and 1,976 the two previous years, according to the report. Also last year, the police department issued 2,386 warnings to motorists compared to 1,053 and 1,182 the two prior years.
City Manager Bill Nicklas pointed to certain crimes such as weapons-related offenses and various types of assault where people are preying on others and said those numbers were significantly down over the past year.
City documents show violent crimes – including homicide, aggravated assault/battery, criminal sexual assault and robbery – were down to 209 incidents last year compared with 252 in 2020 and 263 in 2021.
“It’s the beginning of the trend that we want to see,” Nicklas said. “This is also why, more particularly, we’re able to free up some officers to deal with traffic offenses and the things that disturb public peace and make people uneasy as they’re moving around our community.”
Hiring also was listed as a continuing challenge for the DeKalb Police Department, according to the report. By boosting staffing levels, the police
department aims t O reduce overtime costs, increase resources to focus on behavioral health responses, community engagement and traffic enforcement, documents show.
The city’s fiscal 2023 budget calls for five additional police officers who would bring the total number of sworn officers to 70.
Byrd emphasized that there is strength in numbers.
“We’re working our way to add more police officers,” Byrd said. “Thank you, City Council, for supporting us. Right now, we’re growing as a police department. We’re approximately at 61 officers now. We’re on our road to 70.”
Byrd said the police department remains committed to doing its due diligence to find the right candidates to fill available positions.
“It’s been very important that we look for someone ... with integrity,” Byrd said. “That is expected. ... Those are the type of individuals we’re looking for to be police officers in the city of DeKalb. We’re also looking for officers who have their moral compass pointing in the right direction. So, we’ve vetted a lot of personnel who’ve actually put in applications to be police officers. Unfortunately, they have not shown to be worthy and we have not taken them on their applications.
We’re going to keep fighting the fight and keep moving until they meet that standard of the DeKalb Police Department.”
The police department last year employed two social workers on a contract basis, city documents show.
Nicklas said DeKalb police would like to expand upon the use of social workers going forward.
“We’ve embedded social workers in our shifts,” Nicklas said. “Sometimes the beginning of a pattern can be interrupted particularly if it’s a matter of preying on others by having that time to cool off and then to visit with people who are willing to talk about some underlying causes and conditions. So, we’re very pleased with that, we’re proud of that.”
The police department’s K-9 program grew over the past year with the addition of Chase, a gun detection dog.
Byrd said having Chase on board has proven to be beneficial to the police department.
“He’s been extremely effective for us as well because there are a lot of illegal firearms in the state of Illinois,” Byrd said. “It’s not just a DeKalb problem. This is a state of Illinois problem. The only way we combat that is to have this type of tool in our toolbox. Chase has been fantastic.”
Byrd said Chase’s handler, Officer
Kevin Ballschmeide, has worked well with the K-9 team, including officer Steven Parsons with Drax and officer Elise Dusek with Riggs.
The city also installed license plate reader cameras last spring, which Byrd heralded as effective.
“The visibility concept is strong, but in actual partnership with technology, the license plate readers have been extremely effective,” Byrd said. “It’s done its job. The license plate readers are used to prevent violent offenders from coming into the city of DeKalb. ... Our officers have been able to respond when they know that there are stolen vehicles that have crossed into the city limits of DeKalb, when there are felonious vehicles – meaning that there are vehicles that were vehicles used in a felony – have crossed into the city limits. Officers have been able to respond and coordinate a traffic stop and take those offenders into custody.”
Byrd said moving forward, the DeKalb community can expect technology to play a larger part in the future of policing.
“Technology is going to grow here,” Byrd said. “That means more [license plate readers]. You’re going to see the purchase of drones in the near future. Technology is a very important part of public safety, so you will continue to see that.”

Dear Neighbor:
I have great news for your wallet if your furnace is over 12 years old. Allow me to explain...Every year, the months of January, February & March can be slow for my business. I employ great people and want to keep them working during these long, slow months. That is why I’ve come up with a Win Win Situation for both of us.
Every year, the big manufacturers of furnaces & air conditioners guess how many to build to meet the demand. Of course, they’re never exactly right. So, they always have some inventory that they must hold over until the next summer season. I went to one of these companies and contracted for the purchase of sixteen Deluxe furnaces and air conditioners in the four most
popular sizes used in Kane County. And, because of the quantity and time of year, I was able to buy them at drastically reduced prices.
They are brand-new Deluxe Models. They are NOT the seconds or “blems” or standard “builder” models. They are factory-fresh furnaces and air conditioners and have a full 10-year factory warranty.
How To Get A Furnace For Peanuts
If you are interested in a new heating/cooling system (but only if one of the four sizes I have will fit your house, of course), I am “giving” you the furnace and all I ask for is the $941 in labor & material costs for installation along with the purchase of your air conditioner.
Perfect
I will come out and measure your home (and determine the availability of the proper size). Don’t forget, I only have 16 matched Deluxe Systems in four sizes. When they are gone, this remarkable offer ends also. Just call 815-758-8484.
Absolutely No Obligation
After I completely explain the installation, there is absolutely no obligation. If you decide you don’t want to take advantage of the spectacular savings... That’s OK.
You Can Buy With NO Cash*
You don’t even have to pay me right way. I have set up a terrific 0%* payment plan.
Fuel Efficiency Guarantee**
I’m so confident that you will save at least 25% on your heating and cooling bills (I’m projecting more like 30%), that I will pay you the difference for a year if you don’t! I’ll show you exactly how this works. If these heating and air conditioning systems were not among the best on the market, I couldn’t afford to make such a promise.
Why This Offer Can’t Last
I only have a few of each of the four sizes. When all of the air conditioners are sold and all the furnaces are “given” away, that’s it. There are no more at this price. Call Bre now at 815-758-8484 to set up an appointment for your no-obligation survey.
Warmly,

SYCAMORE – The DeKalb County Board unanimously approved the final step in the sale of the DeKalb County Rehab and Nursing Center on April 19, a week after learning the two companies to bid on the facility joined forces.
In July 2022, the DeKalb County Board approved an asset purchase agreement and an operational transfer agreement with a limited liability company – DeKalb Healthcare LLC –that had been created by Illuminate HC principal Avi Zuckerman. Earlier this month, while applying for state certification for the sale, DeKalb County officials said they learned company leadership of Skokie-based Saba Healthcare – the only other company to also place a sale bid for the nursing center – had combined to help run the facility once the Illuminate sale purchase is finalized.
The board voted to approve DeKalb County Administrator Brian Gregory to submit final documentation needed, a Certificate of Need, to the Illinois Health Facilities and Services Review Board, a process that also is expected to secure a final closing date for the sale, if approved by the state.
Multiple phone calls and emails to Saba Healthcare and Illuminate HC were not returned.
“So during that process we were made aware that in the LLC Mr. Zuckerman brought in two individuals, partners of another company called
Saba, which we’re familiar with because Saba was the other bidder that bid on our facility,” Gregory said.
“So those two individuals, Moshe Blonder and Aharon Singer are essentially joining up with Avi Zuckerman as a part of the LLC to acquire and
operate the [DeKalb County Rehab and Nursing Center].”
In July 2022, the DeKalb County Board voted to sell the DeKalb County Rehab and Nursing Center after years of alleged mismanagement, delinquent billing and falling resident numbers, which created $7 million worth of county debt.
The County Board chose to initiate a sale of the nursing center to Illuminate HC for $8,300,100 million instead of the Skokie-based Saba Healthcare, which had put in a $8.3 million offer.
During a months-long debate about who to sell the facility to in the summer of 2022, County Board members compared operational star ratings for both healthcare companies reported through the U.S. Center for Medicaid and Medicare Services.
While the certificate is expected to be filed as soon as possible by the state with the Board’s approval, Gregory said that doesn’t mean the sale is imminent.
Gregory has said it’s likely the Illinois Health Facilities Services Review Board – which next meets on May 9 –won’t be able to consider the Certificate of Need application for the facility until June 27. If that’s the case, the

closing won’t happen until Aug. 1 because these transactions typically close on the first of the month, Gregory said.
The county also has a plan to ensure that costs still funneled to the beleaguered facility don’t overburden the county budget should the sale not be finalized by the summer.
MALTA – Kishwaukee College recently recognized Linda Mason for 26 years of service on the college’s board of trustees.

Gregory said county officials sought to find a way the facility would no longer be a part of the county’s budget by Aug. 1, and how to guarantee the sale would be complete by that date.
“If [Illuminate HC] did not deliver, if we’re not able to close on or before Aug. 1 they would cover county losses at the facility up to $200,000 a month,” Gregory said. “So there’s incentive for them to keep the ball moving forward.”
