WEEK IN REVIEW $8.1M nursing home sale could get vote By KELSEY RETTKE

krettke@shawmedia.com DeKALB – An $8.1 million sale of the struggling DeKalb County Rehabilitation and Nursing Center could go before the DeKalb County Board as early as June 15, although nursing home employees continue to rail against it. Employees and members of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees No. 3537, the union that represents county nursing center staff, rallied against a privatization of the center on June 8. During the County Board’s Committee of the Whole meeting, members held signs that said “Save our nursing home” and “No to privatization”, a message staff have directed at the county board for months. Selling the nursing center to a private buyer, they feared, could mean lost benefits for long-time union employees and lowered standards of care for patients, several members told the Daily Chronicle in an interview after the meeting this week. Evanston-based Illuminate HC LLC, a health care facility management com-

pany that states its speciality is skilled care, according to its website, has offered $8,150,000 for the struggling nursing home that is more than $7 million in the hole. The County Board is expected to vote on the sale June 15. A vote of 2/3 majority of the County Board is needed to push the sale forward. In line with months of debate, more than a dozen community members and nursing center staff filled the Legislative Center last week to appeal to the county board in opposition of a sale. Chuck Coulter, a maintenance worker at the center and union president of AFSCME No. 3537, said he’s concerned that the sale process has been rushed at the county level. He urged the board to reconsider a sale and give the nursing home a chance at righting financial wrongs. He said he believes the board should put the matter up for a referendum instead, to allow the public to weigh in instead of just the board. “We’re not just the nursing home, we are the foundation of what DeKalb is,” Coulter said. “[Ownership changes] would be telling us that all of our hard

work was for nothing. It would be telling us that our work to love our residents now has a dollar sign attached to it. That instead of thriving for great quality of care, our quality of care will be dependent on what the bottom line is. And you can’t put a number on people.” Diane Chappell, who works in the DeKalb County Clerk and Recorder’s Office, said her mother, Rita Hammett, has lived at the county nursing home for nearly seven years. “During the pandemic it was a scary time for all of us,” Chappell said. “The staff did wonderfully, they got us through it, got to see mom. Six and a half years ago when we had to decide what to do with mom...We asked her where she would like to go and with pride she said the county. ... She’s doing amazing. The staff there is phenomenal, nurses, CNAs, social services.” Despite the pleas, the County Board’s executive committee moved forward with a 6-3 vote to put the sale up before the whole County Board as early as June 15. Board members Rukisha Crawford, Craig Roman and Suzanne Willis voted against placing the decision up for a vote.

DeKalb Pride parade, film set for June 23 By SHANE TAYLOR

Staylor@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Several area organizations are teaming up again this month to help area residents celebrate Pride month with a parade and community event set for June 23. The Egyptian Theatre, Safe Passage, Sycamore Public Library, Queer-Oriented Rural Resource Network, Grace Place, Hometown Sports Bar & Grill, Youth Outlook, 94.9 WDKB and S.O.A.S. are co-hosting the free event for the community. Doors open at 6 p.m. Thursday, June 23, at the Egyptian Theatre, 135 N. Second St. in DeKalb. The event will feature a short pride march through downtown DeKalb, showing of the 2015 film “Tangerine,” about a transgender sex worker, and a post-movie discussion led by a panel. Organizers said community members of all ages are invited to the pride

march but should note the film is for mature audiences. Attendees are invited to wear their favorite pride attire, bring a decorated pride sign for the march and to come show support for the LGBTQIA+ community. “We were very proud to be part of the inaugural pride event here in DeKalb and decided we absolutely wanted to be part of it for the second year,” said Jeanine Holcomb, marketing and communications director for the Egyptian. “I think what we are looking forward to is a lot of the excitement and joy that we saw last year,” Holcomb said. “It was just very humbling. The Egyptian Theatre is a nonprofit, this is absolutely core to our mission.” To learn about the event and how you can participate in a Pride social media contest, visit egyptiantheatre. org/events-schedule-2/ or call 815-7581225.

Max Foley, 12, of DeKalb stands on the stage of the 94th Scripps National Spelling Bee. Foley was one of the 234 spellers to compete in the event earlier this month.

DeKalb 6th grader competes in Scripps National Spelling Bee By SHANE TAYLOR

Staylor@shawmedia.com DeKALB – St. Mary School sixth grader Max Foley of DeKalb recently returned from the east coast where he competed in the Scripps National Spelling Bee. Foley, 12, was one of the 234 spellers who competed in National Harbor in Oxon Hill, Maryland, just outside Washington D.C. The national spelling bee began in 1925 when nine newspapers joined together to host a competition. Although Foley was out after he was stumped by the word ‘chrysolite’ – a type of rock, and the Greek word for ‘golden stone’ – in the preliminaries, he faced the competition with courage. “I think I could have gotten it, but it was kind of terrifying being on the stage,” Foley said. The spelling bee was hosted from May 31 until June 2. Harini Logan, a 14-year-old from San Antonio, Texas, took home the top prize. Competitors such as Foley worked

their way through local and regional bees to earn spots at the national event, facing off against their peers through April. The preliminaries were May 31, the quarterfinals and semifinals took place June 1, and the finals ended June 2. The 2020 National Spelling Bee competition was suspended and later canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic, while 2021 was held partially virtual. This year marked a return to the bee’s more traditional format. Earlier this spring, Foley finished second in St. Mary DeKalb’s spelling bee, advancing and then winning the regional bee, earning him a spot in Maryland. Out of the 234 spellers, only 88 advanced passed the preliminaries. “It was pretty tough in the beginning,” said Stephanie Foley, Max’s mother. The Foleys took advantage of other festivities offered alongside the bee, including a creative writing and virtual reality coding camp for Max and said they enjoyed their time on the east coast.

YCAMORE – Local music lovers poured into the Citizens Memorial Sports Complex Thursday evening with lawn chairs and coolers to get a seat on the lawn of the Good Tymes shelter before the StingRays took the stage. The free Summer Concert Series, put on by the Sycamore Park District, kicked off on June 2 with Caribbean rock band, Mr. Myers. The family-friendly shows are held at 7 p.m. Thursdays through July 28 at the Sports Complex at 435 Airport Road in Sycamore. Guests are encour-

aged to bring their own seating and provisions, with food and drink available for purchase. The StingRays returned for their second consecutive year, playing classic rock from The Beatles to Roy Orbison, and engaged the crowd with trivia between songs, and dance competitions for the kids. Park district marketing and events supervisor, Sarah Rex, said the series has been running since at least 2007. She said this year’s lineup is a good mix of new talent and bands returning from previous years. On June 16, the MacKenzie O’Brien Band will perform country covers from stars like Dolly Parton and Little

Big Town. Future performers include Second Time Around on June 30, R-Gang on July 7, a Family Concert with Leonardo on July 14, Off the Charts on July 21 and SunFallen on July 28. DeKalb residents Chuck and Judy Bergsmith said they have been coming to the series for over a decade, and are planing to return to the park every Thursday this summer. Citizens Memorial Sports Complex, formerly Sycamore Sports Complex, has received some upgrades since last year’s concert series. Along with the new name, the park has a new baseball field, playground, shelter, paved parking lot and 9-hole disc

golf course. A new “grillmaster” has taken over the flames for this year’s series, serving burgers, brats and hot dogs. Superintendent of Recreation Services, Theresa Tevsh, said Aaron Olson took to the grill opening week, and did so well he got the job for the year. Olson, 19, has been working with the parks department since he was 16 and said he likes his new position. “This is fun,” Olson said. “It’s like getting paid to listen to music.” For more information about the Summer Concert Series, visit https:// sycparks.org/summer-concert-series.

The contractor on the Lincoln Highway job is making good progress now that something of a supply of brick has been received. This afternoon with any kind of luck, the workers ought to be at the Third Street intersection and then the work in the last block will only take a few days. The Highway is now open from Second Street doing away with the trouble detour and conferring a great boon on traffic. The asphalt gang is today finishing up on Linden Pace and will be moving down Augusta Avenue tomorrow, if everything goes well.

The footbridge at the rear of Hopkins Park was completely washed away last night during the river flooding. Plans are already underway and parts ordered for a permanent footbridge which will replace this one later in the summer.

Another splendid crowd was in attendance at the Elks exposition at the carnival grounds last night, and without doubt tonight will be one of the banner nights of the week. The seaplane started out very well last night but after carrying over 100 passengers, was compelled to close down for the remainder of the night. The equipment has been repaired and the device should do a shale of a business tonight.

Kentucky Fried Chicken’s Col. Sanders is pictured at the opening of KFC in Sycamore. Sanders visited in 1978.

Henry Halverson, living on Hickory Street, states today he wants the people of DeKalb to know that his boys were not concerned in the affairs of the latter part of last week when several petty thefts were uncovered. When the matter was reported by the police it was not learned which family the boy belonged to but investigation today brings out the fact that the Hickory Street resident is correct.

Bernard Osmond, executive secretary of the Sycamore Chamber of Commerce announced today that the stores in Sycamore would be closed on Thursday afternoon, July 3, except the food stores which will remain open on this date until 5:30 o’clock in the afternoon. All of the stores close on Thursday afternoon, but due to a legal holiday, being July 4, the food stores will remain open to allow the housewives to shop for groceries for the holiday.

Sycamore has a choice of two roads in coming to DeKalb while Contractor Jacks is at work finishing the addition to the cement road. It is expected that in another six weeks the road will again be open to the motorists. Autoists may now drive around by way of Cortland to DeKalb or may go by the way of Electric Park and enter DeKalb by what is known as the First Street road. Both roads are in good shape, although it is thought by those in charge that the Cortland road is in the best shape at present. Except for the road between Genoa and Sycamore, the roads around Sycamore are in good condition. People driving over the Genoa road complain about the many chuck holes. Farmers of Malta and vicinity who drive to this place, according to one of the town officials, would be doing a great favor by using wider-tired wheels

instead of the narrow tires. These narrow tires cut into the thoroughfare in such a manner that within the next day or two after a rain, the surface of the road is badly damaged. If the village undertakes the oiling of the streets again this year, it has been suggested the narrow tired wagons use some other highway in getting to the elevator.

1947 – 75 YEARS AGO

Tomorrow afternoon, June 15, residents of the DeKalb community will have an opportunity to inspect three of the new homes which have been completed on South Second Street in what is known as the Rogers subdivision. Sixteen homes are being built by the DeKalb Homes Association Inc. Three, one of each type, have been completed and are ready to be inspected and several others are nearing completion. All of the homes are of brick construction. Proceeds from the Girl Scout affair in Kirkland were $14.75, the money to be used to help send Scouts to the day camp at Russell Forest Preserve. George Sweeney, Sycamore electrician, had a narrow escape from death at 12:25 o’clock today when he accidentally touched a wire carrying 2,400 volts of electricity. Sweeney was on a pole at the corner of Sacramento and Exchange streets in Sycamore repairing wire for the Central Illinois Light Company when the accident happened. Knocked unconscious by the “juice,”

Sweeney recovered when comrades freed him from the wire and brought him to the ground.

At a meeting of the Malta Firemen’s Association on Monday evening, it was voted to change the method of signaling the location of fires. In the future one long blast will designate a rural fire. A long blast and a short blast for the northwest portion of town, a long blast and two short blasts for the northeast. A long blast and three short ones for the southeast and a long blast and four short ones for the southwest.

1972 – 50 YEARS AGO

Wednesday’s thunderstorms and its accompanying torrents of rain and lightning pushed the Kishwaukee River over its banks in some areas and backed up storm sewers to cause flooding throughout DeKalb.

Donald ”Red” Blanchard, nationally known entertainer who has been the star of television’s “Barn Dance” for 40 years, provided the entertainment for the annual banquet of the Somonauk High School Alumni Association. “Red” resides in Villa Park, and was a guest of the Alumni Association for the banquet, which nearly 200 attended. A special use permit for a sports complex, which includes an ice arena, was approved by the DeKalb Planning Commission. The 20-acre site for the sports complex is located on the Annie Glidden Extension just south of Lincoln Highway and bounded on its northern border by the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad tracks.

The Air Force has dropped one of the charges against Crista Davis, the former DeKalb resident who accused the Air Force of persecuting her for attempting to expose racism and sexism. Originally, Davis faced a maximum penalty of 55 years if she was found guilty. But the Air Force last week dropped nine specifications of “willfully disobeying orders,” reducing her possible sentence by 45 years. Lt. Gov. Bob Kustra spoke to the Northern Illinois University Board of Trustees about the future of the “virtual university” yesterday, but the board was most interested in expanding the real university. The board gave the university the authority to purchase 200 acres west of the campus for $2.95 million. If you drive by the future location of the DeKalb mall this summer, don’t expect to see any concrete or bulldozers. Originally slated for July groundbreaking, the work has been moved back to give the developer more time to complete leasing arrangements and financing. – Compiled by Sue Breese

NIU librarian curates Juneteenth reading list By SHANE TAYLOR

Staylor@shawmedia.com DeKALB – A Northern Illinois University professor has compiled a Juneteenth reading list for others to learn more throughout June about the recently established holiday. Robert Ridinger, an NIU professor and subject specialist librarian at NIU’s Founders Memorial Library, has been a subject specialist for a variety of studies since January 1981. In June 2021, Ridinger said he started identifying books for his June-

teenth reading list. That way, the university had something to give out when the newly established holiday rolled around the following year. He said several colleagues asked him to help craft a special educational program. “I went out to see what existed,” Ridinger said. “They have to know what’s out there before they can find it, before they can buy it.” Doing so allowed the university to “have something to promote the literature of Juneteenth,” Ridinger said. Juneteenth commemorates June 19, 1865, when enslaved Black people in

Galveston, Texas, first learned of their freedom by Union soldiers more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed and two months after the Confederacy had surrendered. Juneteenth also is known as Emancipation Day and Freedom Day. Slaves were not fully free until the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was signed a year later, however. The day, recognized for generations by Black Americans, has entered more widely into the mainstream in past years. President Joe Biden signed legislation in June 2021 that designated

Juneteenth a federal holiday. Ridinger said the pool of books he identified was bigger than what he thought. “But I was really expecting more historical treatment,” he said. Those interested can access books on Ridinger’s reading list at their local public libraries around DeKalb County or at the digital PrairieCat Library Catalog to help locate some books that are featured on his list. The full reading list can be found at newsroom.niu.edu/juneteenth-reading-list.

Dementia is a debilitating disease that affects millions of people worldwide. If you are a friend or family member of someone who has dementia, it is important to learn as much as you can about the condition. By learning more about dementia, you can provide the best possible support for your loved one. Dementia is a progressive disease, and this means that it typically gets worse over time. The symptoms of dementia can be very mild at first, but they usually become more severe as the disease progresses. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to managing dementia. People with dementia have varying levels of care and assistance needs, depending on their circumstances. It is essential to work with a team of healthcare professionals to create a personalized care plan for your loved one. Dementia is not a normal part of aging, and many people live into their 80s and 90s without ever developing dementia. If you are concerned about your cognitive health, talk to

your doctor, and early diagnosis and treatment of dementia are critical. Dementia is a debilitating disease that robs people of their memories and abilities. It is life-changing for both the person with dementia and their loved ones. Dementia slowly destroys a person’s mental functioning and ability to live independently. Dementia has no known cure. However, there are treatments available that can help manage the symptoms of dementia and improve the quality of life for both the person with dementia and their caregivers. One of the most important things you can do is provide emotional support like being patient, listening when they want to talk, and helping them stay connected to their friends and family. If you are a friend or family member of someone with dementia, remember that you are not alone. There are many resources available to help you deal with this challenging condition. Our memory care community helps residents with dementia celebrate life. To learn more about Franciscan Village, please call, 630-296-4748.

Sweet-DeLights, located at 113 W. Main St., Unit A, in Genoa, opened May 14. The candy shop, owned by Melissa Freund, sells a variety of chocolate treats including truffles, homemade fudge, bulk chocolate candy mixes, such as malt balls and toffee crunch, and chocolate-covered Oreos, pretzels and nuts. Sugar-free options are also available.

GENOA – The newest business in Genoa is sweet – and chocolatey. Sweet-DeLights, 113 W. Main St., Unit A, in Genoa, opened May 14. The candy shop is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays and 9 a.m. to noon Saturdays. Sweet-DeLights’ owner Melissa Freund first started candy making in 1988, when she was raising money for her high school cheerleading uniform. “We were able to raise a lot of money, and then I continued because it was helping my family financially,” Freund said. “When I wanted to go on a mission trip with my church, I dug everything back out and restarted making candy. I’ve never really stopped since.” At Sweet-DeLights, Freund sells a variety of chocolate treats including truffles, homemade fudge, bulk chocolate candy mixes, such as malt balls and toffee crunch, and chocolate-covered Oreos, pretzels, peanuts, pecans and cashews. Truffles can be purchased in white, milk and dark chocolates, and flavors include vanilla, chocolate, maple, pecan, key lime and banana. There is also a sugar-free section with six options with more soon to be added. Merchandise, including mugs and do-it-yourself project kits, can also be purchased in the shop. “You can come in and buy the items or buy a kit to try making them at home,” Freund said. Freund describes Sweet-DeLights as a confectionery, but she also sells made-to-order cupcakes, cakes and decorated sugar cookies. Freund’s cookie printer allows her to print edible designs onto cookies. The edible cookie designs can be personalized with any photo or logo. Freund also bakes the muffins, banana bread, cake pops, jumbo cookies and scones for OpenDoor Cof-

fee in Genoa. Freund said she hopes that when customers stop by her shop, they feel comfortable and loved. “It doesn’t even have to be related to candy or sweets, I want my shop to be a safe space,” Freund said. “They can stop by, have a conversation or just say hi.” Freund moved to Genoa in 2010 and has been selling baked goods from the certified kitchen in her basement. “The shop allows me the opportunity to offer more to the community,” Freund said. “I hope to expand the line as much as possible to meet the community’s taste buds.” Her long-term goal is for the business to do so well, her husband Andrew comes to work full time in the shop. “My goal is not to be the biggest or the best, but to be good for the commu-

“Experienced Seniors Real Estate Specialist offering Senior discounts!”

Metro Creative

Summer fun ideas for active older adults METRO CREATIVE Seniors may have more time for leisure and recreation than working adults, and the summer months provide ample opportunities to get active. After months of chilly temperatures, seniors in various parts of the country may be eager to get outdoors and enjoy some fun in the sun. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that adults age 65 and older get at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity each week. There are plenty of ways for active seniors to meet this exercise goal and have some fun along the way. The following are some good starting points. • Join or start a walking club. Walking is a great way to stay in shape and work the mind as well. View new sights along the way by changing the route each time you go. Walking with friends can pass the time and provide the motivation to keep going. • Catch a sporting event. Attending a sporting event can be an entertaining way to spend several hours, and that includes amateur and recreational sports. Catch a grandchild’s swim meet or a baseball game for an action-packed way to connect with loved ones and get out. • Take a fishing charter. Casting a rod from a dock or pier is perfectly acceptable, but securing a spot on a fishing charter is a great way to spend hours out on the water enjoying the scenery and the sport of fishing. Plus, there’s the added benefit of enjoying the fruits of your labors by cooking the

day’s catch for dinner once you arrive home. • Be a tourist. Many cities and towns have their own tourism boards and showcase interesting spots that have historical significance or appeal to other interests. Be a tourist for the day – even in an area with which you are familiar. Hop on a trolley or sightseeing bus to view the town as an outsider. • Spend time swimming. Swimming is a low-impact activity that can work the body in many different ways. Devote time to doing a few laps in the pool. Or make a day of going to a lake or another body of water to wade out and enjoy some strokes in nature. Stick to swimming areas that are monitored by lifeguards for optimal safety. • Tend to a garden. Gardening is a great form of light exercise that can produce rewarding results. If you don’t have a garden or enough space for one at home, many neighborhoods have community gardens in which you can secure a plot. • Visit a fair or farmer’s market. The warm weather months are a peak time for outdoor activities, including various community fairs and farmer’s markets. Chances are you can find a farmer’s market nearby most days of the week, but especially on the weekend. A town market or state fair is a great way to get out and walk, play games of chance or enjoy some live entertainment. Check your community calendar for local events. Active seniors can embrace long, warm summer days to enjoy plenty of time away from home.

One of the biggest concerns for people is what will happen to their assets if they go into a nursing home and need Medicaid to pay for their care. The good news is that Medicaid has several protections for married people with or without children or who own a home. 1. What is Medicaid, and what are its benefits in Illinois Medicaid is a joint federal and state health insurance program that helps low-income Americans pay for medical care. In Illinois, Medicaid provides health coverage for eligible adults and children with limited incomes. 2. How to qualify for Medicaid in Illinois To be eligible for Medicaid in Illinois, you must be a U.S. citizen or lawfully present immigrant, have a Social Security number, and meet certain income and resource requirements. 3. How to apply for Medicaid in Illinois You can apply for Medicaid online, by mail, or at your local county office. Visit the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services website to apply online. To apply by mail, download and print an application from the same website,

TO PLACE AN AD IN THE MIDWEEK, CALL 815-756-4841

then mail it to your local county office. To find your local county office’s contact information, visit the Counties Served page on the IDHFS website. 4. What happens after Medicaid approves you in Illinois If you’re approved for Medicaid, you’ll be assigned to one of Illinois’ managed care organizations (MCOs). MCOs provide comprehensive health care services to Medicaid enrollees. Services covered by Medicaid include doctor visits, hospital stays, prescription drugs, behavioral health services, and more. Sometimes navigating the process of protecting your assets and getting approved for Medicaid can be confusing and overwhelming. That’s why it’s vital to seek the help of an experienced attorney who can help you understand your options and make the best choices for your situation.

How to Fix a Leaky Showerhead in 5 Easy Steps

The first step is to identify the source of the leak. If your shower head is leaking from the base, it’s most likely due to a faulty washer. Simply remove the showerhead and replace the washer with a new one to fix this. If the leak is coming from the showerhead and arm connection, you will need to tighten it with a wrench. Once you have identified and fixed the source of the leak, it’s important to take measures to prevent it from happening again. Step one: Shut off the water Remove the showerhead by unscrewing it from the pipe. Most showerheads have a small cap that you can remove with your fingers or a flathead screwdriver. Step two: Inspect the washer If the problem comes from the base,

Beware of fake guns, warn DeKalb police Shaw Local News Network DeKALB – DeKalb police are warning residents to be vigilant of people brandishing fake guns in the area, after police reported a noted increase in the imitation weapons seen around town. Over the past month, DeKalb police have seen an increase in imitation guns being carried in public places, according to a June 8 news release. An imitation gun is a realistic copy of an actual firearm. Over the past month, DeKalb police said they have noted an increase in imitation guns being carried in public places by both teenagers and adults. Police said an imitation gun is often indistinguishable from a real gun because of the attention to detail during production. Some of those guns include the likes of an airsoft, BB, or

pellet guns, a replica or prop gun, paintball gun or toy or novelty guns, such as Orbeez gun. Imitation guns can post safety hazards and create fear and panic if used in public places, police said. People might mistake an imitation gun for a real gun and call police, which could have serious consequences. “If it looks like a real gun, it is treated like a real gun by police. Even under ideal conditions, it can be challenging or impossible to determine if a gun is real or fake, simply by looking at it,” the press release states. If someone is caught by police brandishing an imitation gun in a public place, they could face fines, an arrest or have the object seized by police. “For your safety and the safety of others around you, please obey the law and do not openly show imitation guns in public,” the release states.

Kane County Cougars statistics guru Bill Baker looks over new scoring software at Northwestern Medicine Field in Geneva in preparation for the 2021 Kane County Cougars baseball season. Baker is also the longtime voice of the Northern Illinois University football team, which announced a new radio deal on June 8.

Northern Illinois University football and basketball will have a new radio home in 2022-23 and beyond as NIU Athletics and its multimedia rightsholder, Learfield, introduced DeKalb station 94.9 WDKB as the new flagship station for the Huskie Sports Radio Network on June 8. The rights had been with 1360 WLBK since October 2014. Bill Baker, Mark Lindo, Rodney Davis and Andy Garcia return to handle the Huskie game broadcasts in 2022-23. A 3,000-watt station whose coverage extends from DeKalb as far north as the Illinois-Wisconsin state line, east to Aurora, Elgin and Crystal Lake, west to Dixon and south to Mendota, 94-9 WDKB will carry all NIU football and men’s and women’s basketball game broadcasts as well as the one-hour coaches’ shows for those sports. “This partnership with Mid-West Family making DeKalb’s 94.9 WDKB the new flagship radio station for NIU Athletics broadcasts represents a new level of cooperation that will expand our brand throughout the region,” said Sean T. Frazier, NIU Vice President and Director of Athletics and Recreation. “We’re excited about the com-

mitment WDKB brings to providing quality broadcasts for Huskie fans and look forward to working with the new radio home of the Huskies.” An affiliate of Mid-West Family, a 60-year-old network of more than 40 live broadcast stations in eight markets across the upper Midwest, including five stations in Rockford, 94.9 WDKB brings extensive marketing elements to the partnership. “Our team is honored to be the new radio home for NIU Athletics,” said Shawn Lowe, brand manager for 94.9. “This new partnership will serve as a solid foundation to help grow the NIU fanbase with our on-air and online products. We are looking forward to telling the rich, storied history of NIU sports as it unfolds and sharing the stories of current athletes and their respective programs.” The five-year agreement between Mid-West Family and LEARFIELD’s local Huskie Sports Properties, on behalf of NIU, includes a promotional campaign for Mid-West’s five Rockford stations that will focus on driving ticket sales and fan growth in the area. SportsFan Radio 1330 AM also is re-upping as a broadcast outlet of the Huskies, carrying all football, men’s basketball and coaches shows.
