During the winter of 1777/1778, Joseph Brant collected British and allied Indian forces to attack settlements in New York and Pennsylvania. During the balance of that winter and through much of the spring, Brant initiated attacks and brought more Indians and tribes into the conflict. John Butler had initiated operations that swept through the Susquehanna Valley. Later, his son, British Captain Walter Butler, joined forces with Brant to lead the attack at Cherry Valley, New York. Disputes arose between the leaders of the attack and these disputes did not please the assembled Indian fighters who were said to have preferred to attack and kill the American farmers and settlers instead of to argue politics. The village of Cherry Valley had a fort that surrounded the village meeting house. As many as 300 soldiers of the 7th Massachusetts Regiment were garrisoned there. Colonel Ichabod Alden was the commander and he had been alerted of a potential attack because of the movement of forces on November 8. Butler’s forces arrived later on November 10 and established a cold camp, without fires, to avoid detection. The attack began early the morning of November 11 and could have been scuttled but for some eager Indians who attacked villagers as they were gathering wood. The main body of forces remained outside the fort while others streamed in side and slayed 16 officers and troops including Alden. Though Alden was said to have tried to fire his weapon, the gun failed and a tomahawk was sunk into his forehead thus taking his life.

The loss of “Big-Box” retailers is compounded by the fact that there were not that many here to start. In 2015 alone, J.C. Penney, Joanne Fabrics, Barnes and Noble and Big Lots have left DeKalb. These vacancies were preceded by the loss of Borders Books in Rockford and DeKalb, the loss of Sullivan’s Groceries in DeKalb and Belvidere and now K-Mart is leaving town. There are some here that applaud the loss of these retailers. The complaint is that “big-box” retailers suffocate small-town retailers. But, consumers make decisions regarding where they buy shoes. Most consumers today are more price conscious than they are loyalty dedicated and that explains why so many people shop national retailers and why there are so few local retailers downtown. It should also be noted that retailers that employ a singular site restricted form of marketing are losing market-share every year to Internet marketing. Those retailers that have not kept pace with the popularity of Internet marketing can explain too why K-Mart in Belvidere is closing. The question arises, after a significant investment was made in location, personnel and infrastructure, why would these retailers abandon this marketplace. The short answer is, the community was not as profitable as the corporate marketing experts had thought. A decision to site a store in any town is not one that is made off-hand. Considerable research goes into a corporate decision to place a store on a given corner. Someone found the site and others performed traffic and audience research. Then others considered the demographics of the area to determine if there is a large enough market to allow the corporation an opportunity to show a profit after making the investment. As internal research is being performed others negotiate with the city to obtain benefits and tax incentives. Multiple meetings with planners, city councils and/or county boards could follow with public hearings to later reach final approval if the corporation decides to move into the community. Many steps must occur between corporate leaders and elected officials before a retailer will enter a new community. This is the nature of consumer mass marketing in 2015. There are many reasons why a real estate deal will not close and many more reasons why an anchor store would not choose Belvidere. The decision to leave a community occurs in the corporate boardroom after thorough analysis and research before a decision is made. Some might remember the exit of Brach Candy from Chicago a few years ago. The Brach Candy Company was a fixture on the west side of Chicago at Lake Street and Cicero Avenue for almost a century. However, the company chose to leave Chicago and move to Mexico and Canada where cheaper labor could be found. Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daily was criticized for allowing the company to leave but the decision had nothing to do with the Mayor and he could not have stopped the move regardless of what he or the city offered. These decisions are often made without regard for the community. Such is the case for Belvidere Mayor Michael Chamberlain. The K-Mart decision was made out of his control. Such decisions are difficult to accept when an elected official is accustomed to leading and having his policy enacted without appreciable interference. The primary question asks why these retailers abandoned this region after investing so much of their capital. The short answer is that the region does not have the demographic mix to support these stores. Local governments in DeKalb and Belvidere have done little to assuage the damage that began in late 2008 and sustains to today. The unemployment rate of Boone County recently dropped below double digits as county and city officials wring their hands and wonder why as they lament the loss of sales tax revenue. This region is populated by a high percentage of non-professional workers many of whom have limited formal education. Many are only high school educated with a minority holding an Associate’s degree. Bachelor’s degrees and higher are harder to find. Many former students from regional high schools do not choose higher education and they also do not have job-skills that are in demand in 2015. The world pivots on technology and workers that will prosper are those that have a higher degree of formal education OBITUARIES and work experience in a profession that is technology oriented. The pace of change will be more dependent upon advancing technology in the coming years and skilled workers are those who will prosper. Further, the demographics, the racial and ethnic breakdown of residents of a region are also a major factor. There is th a large percentage of people living in the area that are new immigrants to America and who speak a language other than Branson, Marjorie, 73, Belvidere, October 30 English. When corporations evaluate communities for expansion, the demographics of the community are relevant. Critchfield, Trudy, 61, Belvidere, October 27th Though this might offend the sensibilities of some, these evaluations occur. Davidson, James, 78, Kingston, October 30th This is not to say that racial or ethnic prejudice should be tolerated because new jobs might come into the community. Schmidt, Bonnie, 61, Belvidere, October 27th But, it is to say that there are elements of the decision that border on what some would rather not see as a part of the th evaluation process. Changing this process will take time and will not diminish the regional unemployment rate in the Sipe, Carl, 70, Garden Prairie, October 29 short-term but the demographics of the region must change before another “Big-Box” store chooses Belvidere for their Svedin, Norman, 87, Poplar Grove, October 31st next site. K-Mart will soon be gone leaving another vacant property in Belvidere. The loss will be felt here and across the region. The loss of another major retailer does not benefit the stability or the prosperity of the city and the region. It is especially harmful in that so many retailers have abandoned the area in such a short time. BELVIDERE FUNERAL HOME INC. The future of northern Illinois will not be disabled with the loss of a clearance K-Mart store in Belvidere. But, the perceived attractiveness of Belvidere and northern Illinois is diminished. This is one more exit after other unexpected 203 LOGAN AVE. exits and that is not a positive reference to the strength of the region, especially when we consider that northern Illinois is part of a highly competitive national marketplace. The question must ask and answered, “Does this region have the BELVIDERE, IL 61008 education tools to prosper in the future?” (815) 544-2121

Jensen (District 2) was cited for delivering a list of proposed cuts for county expenses that she thought would benefit the county through 2016 and later. www.belviderefh.com We were in error when we wrote that she suggested cutting the annual county U grant to CASA. Ms. Ward indicated that she would never propose cutting the grant for CASA. She has been a strong and ardent supporter of the work of CASA.
