Bark for Life

This Saturday is the DeKalb County Bark for Life event at the Sycamore Community Park. The American Cancer Society Bark For LifeTM is a noncompetitive walk event for dogs and their owners to raise funds and awareness for the American Cancer Society’s fight against cancer.

By supporting Bark For Life, you help the American Cancer Society save lives, and that helps us move closer to our ultimate goal of creating a world with less cancer and more birthdays.

So bring your best canine friend and join them for a fun-filled day starting with a walk, and then continuing with demonstrations, contests, and games. Huckleberry’s Pet Parlor in Sycamore will be offering canine nail trims for only $5. All proceeds will go to the American Cancer Society. Registration is from 9-10am and the Walk starts at 10am. Please visit www.barkforlifedekalb.com or for more information.

Thank You DeKalb County!

The Letter of Intent

For reasons only the DeKalb Library director and their attorney know a FOIA request by the Daily Chronicle for the letter of intent to purchase DeKalb Clinic property was denied. They first denied my request for the same letter but then a couple of days later they provided me with the letter. Unbelievable.

Chronicle reporter Elena Grimm attended the library board meeting when Gary Cordes (their lawyer) was told by executive director, Dee Coover, to take us (media types) to her office (and away from a closed session meeting) to give us a “special announcement.” She has been reporting on the story ever since.

The Chronicle filed a Request for Review with the Illinois Attorney General’s office. That office is getting a drawer-full from DeKalb.
