WEEK IN REVIEW DeKalb gives DIMCO 90 days to clean up By MEGANN HORSTEAD

mhorstead@shawmedia.com DeKALB – A junkyard long known as what city leaders describe as a nuisance to its neighbors along Oak Street is getting a chance make it right. The DeKalb City Council on June 27 voted, 8-0, to revoke a special use permit previously issued to DeKalb Iron and Metal Co., 1008 Oak St. The council’s decision, however, hinges on a second round vote that requires the owners of the junkyard to clean in up in accordance with city code within three months. The junkyard has amassed a collection of cars and materials over time to fill the space, city staff said. City staff originally recommended that the council revoke a special use permit for

the junkyard, documents show, a move aldermen supported in their first-round vote. Mayor Cohen Barnes acknowledged that neighbors do not like the junkyard and said they’ve approached the city with concerns about the property. But Danny Meyers, who owns the property, said he already has taken steps to address some of the concerns raised about the junkyard. He said he has a plan to work with the city to clean up the site. “I think we can probably [crush] 30, 40 cars a day,” Meyers said. “Once both bailors are on that side, we can certainly make them all gone within 30 days.” Meyers said that concerns about the junkyard existed long before he took ownership of the property and said the issues have only been compounded.

“It’s just the way things have piled up there over the last year-and-a-half combining all the [odds] together with [COVID-19], the markets,” Meyers said. City Manager Bill Nicklas emphasized that Meyers’ focus is the junkyard in the east, for now. Meyers said that once the junkyard is emptied, he is confident he can move forward with the terms of the permit. He suggested the City Council defer taking action on whether to revoke his permit to operate for 90 days, a request the council decided to allow. The existing special use permit stipulates a defined area for recycling, requires that fencing shield the view of the site and restricts the hours of operation from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 8 to 11:30 a.m. Saturday.

Buick leads Oncken for 23rd Judicial Circuit Court By KELSEY RETTKE

krettke@shawmedia.com Voters went to the polls June 28 to cast their ballots for which Republican should be on the November ballot for the 23rd Judicial Circuit Court bench: sitting judge Marcy Buick or area lawyer Riley Oncken. With all precincts reporting, unofficial election results showed Buick with a lead over Oncken. Results aren’t finalized, however, and election officials will still need to tally the estimated 700 mail-in ballots outstanding. Ballots postmarked by June 28 will be counted in the final tally. Results won’t be certified for two weeks after the election. According to unofficial results, 4,418 votes were cast for Buick, while Oncken

WHERE IT’S AT Amusements.........................................17 Classified.........................................18-19 Cover story............................................. 6 Looking Back.......................................... 9 Obituaries..............................................13

received 3,723 votes. Buick, a sitting DeKalb County judge, was appointed to her role about a year ago to serve the 23rd Judicial Circuit Court, which serves DeKalb and Kendall counties. Buick was sworn on July 9, 2021, as the new 23rd Judicial Circuit Court Judge, taking over for predecessor Robbin Stuckert, the first woman judge in DeKalb County who retired as the circuit court and presiding judge. Buick presides daily over bond hearings and felony cases in DeKalb County court. According to a news release from his campaign, Oncken has worked as a general practice attorney in the area since 2004. He has lived in DeKalb County since he began law school at Northern Illinois University three years earlier.

In addition to private practice, Oncken served as a conflict assistant public defender for DeKalb County from 20132019, handling cases involving juvenile abuse and neglect, juvenile delinquency, misdemeanors and felonies. Oncken previously served as a Republican on the DeKalb County Board from 2008 to 2012 and from 2013 to 2015. It’s not Oncken’s first time vying for the bench. He’s also put his name in the hat for a recent associate judge vacancy after the appointment of judge Philip G. Montgomery to the 23rd Judicial Court in March. DeKalb County judges Montgomery and Joseph C. Pedersen ran unopposed and will be on the November ballot. Pedersen received 7,520 votes, while Montgomery received 7,522 votes.

Shaw Local News Network SYCAMORE – With a scenic farmstead location along a beautiful pond as a backdrop, the DeKalb County History Center will host a new fundraiser, “Cocktails at the Crib,” on July 16.

COVER STORY

PUBLIC INPUT

City of DeKalb seeks feedback on next decade of development By MEGANN HORSTEAD

mhorstead@shawmedia.com DeKALB – More than a dozen people turned out to the DeKalb Public Library for a recent open house as the city of DeKalb seeks public input to help guide the city’s future plans. It was the first of two scheduled public meetings to invite residents to weigh in on the city’s comprehensive plan, which officials said will set DeKalb’s next decade. The 70-plus page document, which is posted to the city’s website, is meant to help guide city leaders through urban planning. The comprehensive plan is meant to tackle everything from public infrastructure, community, residential and economic development, transportation, facilities and land use. As the public weighs in on priorities to set, the city is expected to take feedback into consideration as the DeKalb City Council helps set plans for funding and implementation. The city last updated its comprehensive plan in 2005, officials said. “We’re hoping that what we’ve projected here is sensible for the next five to 10 years approximately and hopefully, in less than 10 years there’s another review,” City Manager Bill Nicklas said during the first session June 30. The city plans to host another open house from 4 to 6 p.m. Thursday, July 14, to solicit more feedback. DeKalb’s Planning and Zoning Commission will then hold another public hearing in August, followed by expected discussion at the DeKalb City Council level. Nicklas said the city encourages the public to provide input on what’s proposed. “We’re taking in comments, suggestions, ideas, and we’ll be discussing what comes out of the open houses with the Plan Commission, then ultimately proceed to the City Council, which will take us time as well,” he said. “We’ll have probably a couple sittings to discuss the proposed plan there.” Among the new elements of the proposed comprehensive plan update are urban design guidelines, which DeKalb’s Planning Director Dan Olson said will help the city in reviewing the aesthetic components of new developments. DeKalb in recent years has seen significant development take root, both residential and commercial. Several apartment buildings are in the works from DeKalb-based Pappas Development downtown and around the city. The south side has also welcomed businesses such as social media giant Meta, Facebook’s parent company, which is building a 2.4 million-square-foot data center facility on more than 500 acres along Route 23 and Gurler Road. Near the facility lies confectioner Ferrara Candy Co., and what will soon be a distribution center by online retailer Amazon. Other independent-owned small businesses have also settled downtown in recent years. Olson said an updated comprehensive plan could include language which would stipulate land use for future developments, including aesthetic and archi-

The next open house will be Thursday, July 14. tectural guidance. “What we’re proposing here is to strengthen that language in our [Unified Development Ordinance,] particularly with special uses, to give us that opportunity and then give some guidance on what things should look like between residential, commercial and industrial,” Olson said. “Right now through our zoning process, we do review architectural renderings that come in with projects, if it’s a planned development or special use. We have that option.” Olson said the city has seen a need for urban design guidelines. “We’ve had a few projects come in that there had been comments on how it appeared,” he said. “Maybe [giving] it a little bit better design to those. So, we want to develop guidelines to help developers when you share with them, so they know what direction the city wants to go into when we go through projects.” Brian Grainger, a builder for By Grainger Communities, was among those who dropped in for the open house. Grainger, who lives in nearby Sycamore, said he felt compelled to take part in the meeting. “I like to keep up on what’s going on and see if there are any opportunities in the area,” Grainger said. Grainger said he maintains a positive outlook

about the idea of potentially building in DeKalb in the future. “We haven’t had any projects here in a while because there hasn’t been as much demand in DeKalb as in Sycamore, so we tend to build wherever people ask us to build,” he said. “It really relates to demand. But we’re hopeful demand would be increasing.” DeKalb resident Susan Johnson attended the open house with her husband, Steve. She said she felt the draft plan left her hanging for information. “The one thing that wasn’t addressed that I saw initially was multigenerational homes, and I asked [Planning Director Dan Olson] to consider that in the plan also,” Johnson said. “It’s different than single family. It’s different multi-family, it’s a family with multiple generations within a household.” Johnson said she thought the proposed comprehensive plan update didn’t detail trends related to multigenerational households’ prevalence in the city. Johnson said she wished more people would have turned out for the open house to provide input. In the meantime, residents and community members can direct questions and comments on the city’s draft plan to Dan Olson by calling 815-748-2361 or emailing dan.olson@cityofdekalb.com.

Mabel Glidden’s art to be displayed Shaw Local News Network DeKALB – Various paintings and drawings created by Mabel Carter Glidden will be on display in the J.F. Glidden Homestead Welcome Center, 921 W. Lincoln Highway in DeKalb, during its open hours from noon to 4 p.m. Sunday, July 10. The Glidden home will be open for tours, and the Phineas Vaughan Blacksmith Shop also will be open and operating that day while volunteer blacksmiths provide demonstrations of the craft. Mabel attended a DeKalb public grammar school and then entered Waterman Hall, an Episcopal school for girls in Sycamore. It was there that her love of art fostered. Mabel furthered her art studies at the Art Institute in Chicago, where she attended classes for three years, but received no degree, as this was not yet offered. In 1893, she worked for many months on the decorating of the Children’s Building at the Columbian Exposition in Chicago. This structure was designed as a comfort station for the care of as many as 100 children, whose parents attended the fair. Mabel married John W. Glidden, Joseph’s nephew, and after Joseph’s death, their family moved into the Glidden Homestead. What is now the Glidden Campus Florist was started by Mabel in 1925 when she began selling vegetable plants grown in a small lean-to greenhouse. Additional greenhouses were later added, and in 1966 the current flower shop was built. Mabel never lost her love of gardening or art and could be seen tending her flowers in the front yard of the homestead until she was more than 90 years old. The Joseph F. Glidden Homestead and Historical Center

LOOKING BACK

9 east of Route 23. This section of road lies in a saucer-like terrain and was covered by 11 inches of water following the recent heavy rainfall in the Sycamore area.

Beginning today, two trains on the North Western line will be discontinued. No definite statement of the reason for stopping these trains was issued but it is thought by railroad men that shortage of coal is the main reason. Train number 10 going east at 12:28 p.m. and train number 13 westbound at 2:20 p.m. were the passenger trains that were discontinued. It is not known when these trains will again be put in service. Work on the Ellwood addition was completed this morning and the contractors have already loaded some of their material and machinery on the cars ready to ship it back to Chicago. The work, which was planned to be finished by the time of the big farmers’ picnic, was delayed several times by the failure of material to arrive. Despite the fact of the unavoidable setbacks, the pavement was completed nearly on contract time. The new paving will probably be opened tomorrow morning. Boys accumulated 12 tons of dandelions for which they were paid one cent a pound by the officials of Ponca City, Okla., in a campaign to rid the city of the weed. Many were eager to take the dandelions home, they make good wine, you know, but disinfectant was put on them to ruin them for beverage purposes. A very pleasant afternoon was spent in the Driscoll Grove last Thursday afternoon when the Clare M. E. Ladies Aid gathered for a picnic luncheon. There were lots of good things to eat after the regular business meeting. A small fire was discovered in the rear of W. W. Cooper’s furniture store in Genoa early Thursday morning about 2:50 a.m. by officer Crawford.

Over the Fourth of July holiday, the DeKalb fire department was called out twice, once on Thursday evening and the second time yesterday. One of the calls was due to firecrackers. Thursday evening about 8:30 o’clock the department was summoned to 1016 West Lincoln Highway to the apartment occupied by G. Ward. A chair, mattress and some bedding were destroyed. Water was used to extinguish the blaze. Yesterday a grass fire on the Clarence Buehler farm on Annie Glidden Road was responsible for a call to the station. The blaze started from firecrackers.

Back in those heady, exciting days just before the war in 1941, a young Chicago lad drifted down to Galesburg and learned to fly an airplane in a hurry. There might be a war and he wanted to know how to fly. Army flyers were a glamorous lot in those days. Even as he tested his fledgling wings, he was dreaming of the day where he would have his own airport. The war came and went and the youthful Chicagoan flew all right, two long years of it, as a civilian flight instructor, teaching others how to fly the way the army wanted them taught. Today, however, his other dream has come true, too. He has his own airport and it’s coming along pretty good,

When Sycamore resident Juanita Doss was doing research for her “veterans” book, ”Gone But Not Forgotten,” she found a veteran buried in Sycamore’s Elmwood Cemetery by the name of Joseph Hunt who did not have a gravestone. Through research, Doss found out that Hunt was an African-American soldier who died in 1966 at Hines Veterans Hospital. She obtained a copy of Hunt’s discharge papers and death certificate so that a free gravestone could be purchased. For his 83rd birthday, Hunt received a veteran’s stone, flag and flowers in red, white, and blue.

Kishwaukee Valley Art League sets July events Shaw Local News Network SYCAMORE – Manmade. That was the theme presented to members of the Kishwaukee Valley Art League for the next Create With KVAL challenge. At the league’s monthly meeting on July 7, members will present the artwork they created to meet the challenge. The meeting will be held at 7 p.m. at Gallery on State, 322 W. State St. in Sycamore. The public is welcome to attend. “It is always fun and interesting to see the creative ideas and artwork that the individaul artists come up with to meet the challenges that we give them,” Deborah Rossiter, KVAL program director, said in a news release. “Whether painters, photographers, wood workers or fabric artists, every artist interprets the challenge differently, and the results are fascinating.” KVAL will start its summer art classes for kids on July 16. Robert Davis, formerly with SLS Arts, will teach a series of classes for children of all ages during the next four months. The first class offered on July 16 will be “Easy Marble.” Using a technique of dipping objects into a marbeling solution, students will give ordinary objects a marbeling effect. This class is geared for ages 9 and older. The students will be asked to bring up to 10 small objects no larger than a Christmas ornament to the class. Registration forms can be picked up at Gallery on State or printed from the KVAL website: kval-nfp.org. The monthly “Second Saturday” group art gathering will be held July 9 and will be a plein air session.

Staylor@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Five DeKalb County educators were awarded on June 27 for their work inspiring a love of learning in their students over the past year. Teachers in Genoa-Kingston, Hiawatha and Sycamore school districts received awards from the DeKalb County Community Foundation and the DeKalb County Regional Office of Education at a ceremony held at St. Mary’s Memorial Hall, 322 Waterman St. in Sycamore. The annual Excellence in Education Awards are administered through a partnership with the community foundation and ROE. Support for the award comes through an endowed fund at the foundation created by retired Sycamore elementary school teacher Yvonne Johnson. “Tonight we get to recognize five excellent educators,” said Amanda Christensen, regional superintendent for the DeKalb County Regional Office of Education. Three educators in Sycamore School District 427 received awards, including Lisa Winters, Drayton Eggleson and Nicole Stuckert. Karmen Ewald, seventh grade English and language arts teacher at Genoa-Kingston Middle School, and Cindy Lauritzen, food service director for Hiawatha School District 426, also received awards. Eggleson is the choir director at Sycamore High School. Stuckert is the assistant superintendent for Business Services/CSBO in the district. Winters, an instructional math coach for District 427, said she

For Eggleson, working with students is his highlight. “The thing that is awesome about even being recognized like this is you don’t do it for accolades. It’s

about kids, for me,” Eggleson said. “I am a choir teacher, music teacher. I want to make music cool and fun. The fact that anybody nominated me is just an honor in itself.” In Genoa-Kingston, Ewald said he was especially grateful for recognition after all the field has endured over the past few years. “I just finished my 20th year teaching and [have] 19 years in the district,” Ewald said. “This couldn’t have come at a better time with the last couple of years being so difficult. It really encouraged me to continue doing what I am doing.” Every district in DeKalb County is eligible to nominate a person from different areas. Those areas include a Pre-K through fifth grade teacher, sixth through eighth grade teacher, a high school teacher, a support staff member (e.g. secretaries, classroom aides, custodians, food service, bus drivers and maintenance) and someone from administration. Nominations are a joint effort from teachers, administrators and the community. The award recognizes respected professionals who inspire a love of learning in students. The award winners also play an active role in their schools and communities. Winners also received a check for $1,000 and an engraved clock. “Please look at [these gifts] and remember what they really stand for, and that is our heartfelt gratitude for every positive interaction you have with a student,” Christensen said. Throughout the 23-year history, the annual event has recognized 114 educators and distributed more than $114,000 in awards.

Stage Coach to put on Christie whodunit Shaw Local News Network DeKALB – What would you do if an advertisement in the local paper announced the place and time of a future murder? The answer to that question will come to life when Stage Coach Players presents Agatha Christie’s “A Murder Is Announced” this month. The drama by Leslie Darbon is adapted from Christie’s novel of the same name. The production, directed by Mandi Sester, is a good old-fashioned murder-mystery featuring one of Christie’s most beloved characters, Miss Marple. Often characterized as an elderly spinster, Miss Marple acts as an amateur consulting detective. The story of begins when an announcement appears in the local paper of the British country village of Chipping Cleghorn. It states the time and place when a murder is to occur. The location of the murder is the house of Letitia Blacklock, called Little Paddocks. Because it is a close-knit village, Miss Blacklock expects guests for that

evening, and she prepares for them. As expected, several villagers appear with interest. As the clock strikes 6:30, the lights of the house go out. Then a door swings open, revealing a stranger with a blinding flashlight who demands that the guests “Stick ‘em up!” Gunshots are heard and when the lights return, the stranger lies dead on the floor. Dora Bunner recognizes him as a Swiss man who worked for a local hotel. What follows is a classic Christie puzzle of mixed motives, concealed identities, a second death and a determined inspector grimly following the case’s twists and turns. Fortunately, Miss Marple is on hand to provide the solution. Performances for “A Murder is Announced” will be at 7:30 p.m. July 14-16 and July 22-23 and 2 p.m. July 17 and July 24. Tickets cost $15 each or $13 for older adults and ages 13 and younger. Tickets are on sale through the box office by phone at 815-758-1940 or online at www.stagecoachplayers.com.

County Clerk: Election ‘results are correct’ 15 By SHANE TAYLOR

Staylor@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – While election results were delayed from being published for several hours on June 28, DeKalb County Clerk and Recorder Doug Johnson wants to assure voters the now-live results are accurate. While polls closed at 7 p.m., results that are historically posted live and updated throughout the night on the clerk’s website weren’t live past 9 p.m. When asked on June 28 why the delay, Johnson – who’s set to retire from office after November and isn’t seeking another term – said it was due to a software issue. New software on the voting machines used during the election had been recently installed, Johnson said. The issue couldn’t be resolved right away because a representative for the vendor that provides the electric voting machines did not show up as planned. “We were hoping to have support from the vendor on site,” Johnson said. “We didn’t.” The problem eventually was able to be resolved, however, Johnson said. And election officials took time to ensure voting tally uploads were accurate before they were published online. Results went live about 10 p.m. “We just took our time,” said Johnson, who spent much of the election day at the clerk’s office overseeing election duties. “The results are correct.” A full list of results from DeKalb County’s partisan primaries can be found at platinumelectionresults.com/ races/66/8. According to the Illinois State Board of Elections, DeKalb County’s voting machines are provided by an Omaha, Nebraska-based vendor called Elections Systems & Software. The machines are compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act and utilize a software called ExpressVote, which uses touch-screen technology to tabulate paper ballots and creates a paper record for the count. Once a voter fills out a ballot, the paper is fed into the machine that tabulates the count. Matt Dietrich, spokesperson for the Illinois State Board of Elections, said it’s not uncommon for delays to be reported. He said he didn’t know specifics about what happened in DeKalb County. “I do know that there is extensive testing done pre-election,” Dietrich said. “There is a public test that’s done before every election regarding the tabulators that are used in polling places.” Another thing to keep in mind, Dietrich said: Same-night election results aren’t the historical norm. Electric tabulations and counting machines are a

The state board of elections also keeps a database of what electronic voting machines, vendors and software is used in each county. Information can be found at elections.il.gov. And results, in any case, won’t be certified

for about two weeks. Several hundred expected mail-in ballots remain outstanding also, according to DeKalb County clerk officials, and have yet to be added to the final tally. “Keep in mind that the numbers from last night are all unofficial numbers,” Dietrich said. “If those were delayed, that would not be anything that would violate any portion of the election code.” Despite the reporting hiccup, Johnson said he was pleased with the 24%

voter turnout reported in the county. He heralded his staff’s work to troubleshoot the issues, the election judges and the new software, regardless of the delay. He said his office will work to ensure the software is running efficiently ahead of the November General Election. “I think everyone likes the way it works. It was just new,” Johnson said. Jessica Rugerio, chief deputy of elections in the DeKalb County clerk’s office, was on hand at polling places and at the clerk’s office headquarters. “I think [Election Day] went well,” Rugerio said. “Given that our unofficial turnout is currently 24.65% with approximately 500 outstanding mail-in ballots, I’d say it’s about average.” The office is still on the lookout for additional residents to sign up to be election judges ahead of November, after reporting a dip in volunteers to be judges earlier this year. Rugerio said she’d like to recruit 200 more ahead of November. “We would welcome any ideas [and] efforts to assist in recruiting more election judges,” she said. “We are always looking for new judges,” Johnson said. Those interested in learning more about how to apply to be an election judge can find the application on the clerks website at dekalb.il.clerkserve. com/?cat=9 or email electionjudges@ dekalbcounty.org.

DeKalb seeks artists to paint utility boxes Shaw Local News Network DeKALB – The City of DeKalb and Citizens’ Community Enhancement Commission are seeking DeKalb community members to transform utility boxes into vibrant and welcoming works of art. Three utility boxes in high-traffic areas of downtown DeKalb have been selected for the project. The metal boxes, which are between 4 and 5 feet tall and 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 feet wide, offer large canvases for local artists to display their creations. The boxes are located behind City Hall, in Van Buer Plaza and in Palmer Court, next to the Egyptian Theatre. The project is part of the community’s efforts to make DeKalb a welcoming community where everyone feels a sense of belonging. Incorporation of these themes will be evaluated as proposals are considered along with the artwork’s vibrance and the originality and appropriateness for its site in downtown DeKalb. A Call for Artists has been released for the utility box artwork initiative and local artists are encouraged to apply. The Call is open to DeKalb residents, current and former students and employees at Northern Illinois

University, Kishwaukee College and the DeKalb School District, those working in DeKalb as well as outside artists. Both novice and professional artists are invited to submit proposals. For the utility box project, it is preferred artists create designs in digital format that will be printed on vinyl and wrapped around the boxes by a third-party fabricator. Vinyl wraps are preferred for their durability and resistance to rust and graffiti. They also provide an opportunity for photographers and digital artists. Proposals to paint a utility box will also be considered. This initiative will be funded through a portion of a $50,000 T-Mobile Hometown Grant secured by the city, so there is no cost to participate. The grant will fund creation and installation of the vinyl wraps or reimbursement of up to $150 per artist for paint and supply expenses if the box is painted. More information, including templates with the dimensions of the utility boxes, are included with the Call for Artists, which can be found on the city’s website or at this link: https:// tinyurl.com/bdcnb97n. The deadline for submissions is 11:59 p.m. July 13.
