Marshland birds could be spotted moving around the marsh’s edge. The charismatic American White Pelicans used to frequently stopover in spring. Flocks of nearly every member of the waterfowl family that migrates along the Mississippi flyway could be spotted. However, changing hydrologic conditions have negatively affected this important habitat. The District will conduct a hydrologic study, install a variable water-control structure to maintain hemi-marsh (half water/half vegetation) conditions, and employ stronger wetland-weed control, to retain all of the diverse life found here. 4 FOREST PRESERVE DISTRICT OF KANE COUNTY Jon J. Duerr Forest Preserve (South Elgin) Parking and Boat/Canoe/Kayak Launch Improvements Referendum Commitment Parking and drive improvements are much needed at this South Elgin preserve. In addition to redesign of the boat/canoe/kayak launch, we’d realign amenities at the preserve, to make it more user-friendly, improve accessibility, and allow for increased recreation. This project will improve the current parking situation, where pedestrians and bicyclists traverse through the parking lot to gain access to the Fox River and River Bend Trail systems. These improvements will also improve the use of the boat/canoe launch, and provide adequate parking. 2015 COMPREHENSIVE MASTER PLAN — 2018 UPDATE 5 Raging Buffalo Snowboard Park (Algonquin) Expansion of Recreational Amenities and Lodge Replacement Intergovernmental Agreement The Forest Preserve District is working with the Kane County Department of Transportation on the redevelopment of the Raging Buffalo Snowboard Park, part of Buffalo Park Forest Preserve. The lodge and infrastructure are well over 70 years old and are in need of restoration. The District and KDOT worked together on a project to not only expand the snowboard hill but to provide a new lodge for the facility. The Forest Preserve District has agreed to let KDOT place the excess fill from the Longmeadow Parkway project on Forest Preserve property. In exchange, KDOT will use the excess fill to expand the snowboard hill, and will provide additional funds, up to $500,000, to relocate and construct a new lodge. 6 FOREST PRESERVE DISTRICT OF KANE COUNTY Muirhead Springs Forest Preserve (Hampshire) Wetland Mitigation Bank The project objective is to develop Muirhead Springs Wetland Mitigation Bank Plank a mitigation bank in the Illinois P lank Hampshire Illinois Bahr watershed in association with the Wetland Mitigation granting of Department of the Army Plan NEIWCA Wetland Grant permits through creation, restoration, Not Included in Wetland Mitigation Bank enhancement and preservation of the wetlands, stream channels and Wetland Bank Details associated buffer habitats.

The District will also utilize the available credits for our own projects. 2015 COMPREHENSIVE MASTER PLAN — 2018 UPDATE 7 Meissner-Corron Forest Preserve (St. Charles) Russel Fen Restoration Our newest Illinois Nature Preserve, Russel Fen at the Meissner-Corron Forest Preserve, is in serious need of experienced land management, if we are to protect the endangered orchids, other rare plants, and unique animal assemblage that reside at the site. We would like to bring this site from the brink of ecological destruction by beginning an intensive two-year invasive species removal and replacement project. While we think the native seedbank at the site is strong, and will provide us with a myriad of freshly germinated native species once sunlight can warm them and wake them from their long hibernation, the invasive brush that overshadows the site first needs to be removed. The first step in this process would be a winter brush clearing across this approximately 73-acre site. The resprout and freshly germinated weed seeds would be met the following growing season with directed spot treatments of herbicide, to prevent re-invasion of the site and reduce competition for our native species. Concurrently, we would contract control of the herbaceous weed species as well, which is currently dominated by reed canary grass. Long-term work would continue to ensure that neither the invasive woody or herbaceous species regains a foothold at the site. 8 FOREST PRESERVE DISTRICT OF KANE COUNTY Natural Resources Facility - Phase II: Cold Storage and Seed Storage Buildings at Mill Creek Greenway (Elburn) Phase II of the new Natural Resources department location at Mill Creek Greenway is to provide additional cold storage for the equipment and provide seed collection, separation and storage areas for this operation. TEL 847.478.9700 FAX 847.478.9701 2015 COMPREHENSIVE MASTER PLAN — 2018 UPDATE 9 Grand Prairie Gateway Trail (CMAQ grant) This is a long-term plan to create a new east-west trail corridor to provide regional connections to other trail systems, preserves, and other Kane County amenities and open spaces.

Hand-cut cypress beams is the best example of an authentic Dutch windmill in the U.S.,” says Dutch wind- mill maker Lucas Verbij, who was contracted to oversee the restoration. “It would be the most popular windmill in the Netherlands (there are currently about 1,000).” Roman numeral markings carved into the beams used in the original construction are still visible. It took 33 work- ers mixing concrete by hand to build the 42"-deep x 26"- thick foundation. Inside, beams and shafts are of cypress wood and trimmed with black walnut. New wooden gears were made. At the top, or cap, of the mill is a huge cogged wheel turned by wind blowing against the vanes (blades). The vanes are cov- ered with canvas sails to help catch the wind. The moving cog rotates a shaft running the height of the mill. Photos by Tom Haskell.

  • Historic Preservation Commission 22 S
    CITY OF GENEVA HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION 22 S. FIRST STREET GENEVA, ILLINOIS 60134 HISTORIC PRESERVATION IN GENEVA, ILLINOIS Geneva is blessed with a rich architectural heritage. Many buildings represent several architectural styles prevalent in the Midwest between the 1840's and the early 1900's. Styles found here in Geneva include examples of Greek Revival, Italianate, Queen Anne, Gothic Revival, Stick Style, Colonial Revival and Prairie. Many of Geneva’s older buildings are of a common vernacular and built in some part with locally quarried stone found along the river. These separate styles blend together to create an atmosphere of refined and understated elegance, perhaps reflecting the taste of the New England roots of Geneva's earliest settlers. Below are frequently asked questions (FAQs) about historic preservation in Geneva and the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC). What is the Geneva Historic Preservation Commission? The HPC is a seven member board that is appointed by the Mayor and City Council. When does the HPC meet? The HPC meets at 7:00 p.m. on the third Tuesday of each month in the Council Chambers at City Hall, 109 James Street. When was the HPC established? What is its purpose? The HPC was established in 1982 when the City of Geneva adopted a preservation ordinance, similar to those enacted in other municipalities across the United States. The purpose of the HPC is to protect buildings and neighborhoods in the City which have special historic, architectural, and cultural character. The HPC is responsible for the review and approval of exterior projects on historic properties.

Not many people know this, but I’ve always considered myself an artist of sorts. Ever since I was a young kid, I invariably find myself passing the time by doodling, drawing, and, on occasion, even painting. In the space between my paper and pencil, and in those moments when inspiration would strike, my imagination would run amok and these bigger-than-life personas - football players and comic book characters and, of course, professional wrestlers - would come to life. I wasn’t aware of this until much later, but for all those years my mother would quietly steal away my drawings, saving them for all prosperity, and perhaps giving her a way to relive all of those memories of me as a child. That’s exactly what happened to me when she showed me those old sketches of Iron Man and Walter Payton and Fred Flintstone and Hulk Hogan. I found myself instantly transported back to a time where things were simpler and characters were real and the art was pure. I get a lot of really similar feelings when I look at the incredible art that Rob Schamberger has shared with 2 foreward us all. Rob’s passion for art and for professional wrestling struck me immediately as someone that has equally grown to love and appreciate both, and by Adam Pearce truth be told I am extremely jealous of his talents.
