They were among the first to support us with money and volunteer time,” she added. For a quarter of a century, both organizations along with a long list of other community partners and individual volunteers have been instrumental in supporting the mission of Hope’s Front Door to provide hope and vital resources to individuals and families facing financial and health crises in DuPage County. It’s an undertaking that it is set on continuing into future especially because, “we are seeing more people come through our doors” in need of assistance, Robinson said. In fact, during the last several months, Hope’s Front Door has added 45 new households to its list of those in need. “It is still a tough time for folks” in terms of food, medication and transportation, she said. “The Downers Grove Junior Woman’s Club is proud to continue supporting Hope’s Front Door and the amazing work they do for those in greatest need in our community,” said Meghan Jacobson, president of the Downers Grove Junior Woman’s Club. “Every summer, our members look forward to jumping in to help with their Back-to-School Drive—collecting supplies and volunteering at the event to help families get what they need for the school year. It’s always a meaningful reminder of the real impact we can make when we come together. We love giving back and teaming up with nonprofits like Hope’s Front Door who are truly making a difference.” Last fall’s school supply drive helped about 340 DuPage area children. The event was created after a mom came to the Hope Front Door’s office nearly 20 years ago looking for school supplies, Robinson said. Without any on hand, the staff gave the mom their own office supplies. A founding member of Hope’s Front Door, First Congregational Church, was pivotal in establishing the organization in 2000. Laura Hoglund, a First Congregational Church pastor, served as the first Hope’s Front Door chairperson. The Rev. Scott Oberle, senior pastor at First Congregational Church, said prior to Hope’s Front Door those in need would go from church to church for assistance. The idea was to work together and have a place where those struggling could go, he said. When it opened, Robinson said, the organization quickly found the level of need in the community was higher than anticipated. People in need in DuPage County can go unnoticed, she said. “There is a feeling that DuPage County is affluent, but we do have neighbors struggling with food insecurity and housing stability,” Robinson said. Since DuPage County is “so spread out” transportation is a “lifeline,” Robinson said. “Without access to a bus card or a gas card you can’t find or maintain work or your health,” she said. Today, Hope’s Front Door provides safety net services including emergency assistance to individuals in need. The organization also provides food and transportation vouchers, medication assistance, toiletry items, infant care items and access to dental and eye exams. It also provides assistance to individuals through “pathways” programs that address long-term issues such as financial skills, employment and physical and mental wellbeing. Financial literacy is important because between 40% to 50% of people across the country don’t have $500 in savings for an emergency need such as car repairs or an increase in utilities, Robinson said. “About 40% of our clients have a chronic illness such as diabetes or high blood pressure,” she said. “We do a lot of education on what it’s like to eat healthy on a budget or how to be active without the finances to belong to a gym.” “We see firsthand if people are sick,” Robinson said. “They can’t work, and it becomes a slippery slope of becoming unhoused or unemployed.” Copyright © 2023 Shaw Local News Network PRAIRIE GROVE -- Prairie Grove will place a tax lien on property owned by Valley View Golf LLC to recoup its costs from cutting overgrown grass on the former..

Although much has changed since 6-year-old Speller once ran through the streets many longtime Love Grove residents still say it's the enduring quiet they cherish most once home to just a few dozen single-family dwellings While a bridge built in 2018 gave the neighborhood a second entrance and addressed safety concerns it's also spurred on an abundance of new homes constructed as recently as 2023 Now longtime residents adjust with the changes while holding tight the neighborhood's historic roots Less than 10 years ago, Love Grove was only accessible via King Street -- a route frequently blocked by passing or stopped trains along the CSX right-of-way. Since the 1940s residents and community leaders had urged city officials to create a second entrance "We were like hostages," Elder Lynda McMillan longtime resident of Stanley Street and preacher with Spiritual Educational Outreach Ministries said when she sat down with the StarNews at her home in March they couldn't get out of Love Grove and no emergency transportation could get in and that would be blood on somebody's hands." The problem was amplified in June 2013 when six flammable tankers carrying hazardous materials derailed blocking the neighborhood's only access point for more than 12 hours while others grew anxious about health issues and access to care one thing was particularly heartbreaking -- missing her brother's wake in Georgia She eventually managed to leave the neighborhood by driving over a makeshift bridge atop the train tracks despite opposition from officials on scene about another way out of here," McMillan said Located at the intersection of Stanley and Liverpool streets McMillan's house is commonly referred to as the "Praise the Lord House," with its bright orange shutters symbolizing strength McMillan recalled turning to prayer during that pivotal moment in 2013 "The Lord spoke to me in the spirit saying you will be like David that went before Goliath," said McMillan She connected with Ronald Sparks -- engineer former councilmember and advocate for the Love Grove community -- alongside at least six other community leaders they successfully undertook the mission of securing a second entrance for Love Grove A 2004 interoffice memorandum from former city manager Sterling Cheatham reveals $280,000 was allocated in 1996 to fund a second entrance into Love Grove The plan was to construct a two-lane ribbon pavement section from Corbett Street to McRae Street When CSX denied permits for grade crossings city staff met with community leaders and $95,000 of that funding was instead redirected to construct sidewalks widened cross sections and curbing along King Street "I was an engineer for the city of Wilmington .. but nobody would take action on it," Sparks said adding that he went on to become a councilmember in 2007 They were locked in here and couldn't get out Having worked on what he estimates to be around 800 bridges in his career his proposed solution wasn't immediately agreed upon "We had to fight hard to get this," Sparks said The Love Grove community created campaign signs led marches and eventually sat down with councilmembers at McMillan's home Recalling that meeting inside her residence McMillan said she told councilmembers "If the train derails They had to feel what we felt over here," McMillan said you don't know if the train is going to derail you don't know if something is going to explode Ultimately, the Love Grove Memorial Bridge was included and approved by voters as part of the city's 2014 Transportation Bond. After approximately a year of construction the $5 million bridge opened in April 2018 Love Grove, named after the Love Grove Plantation located there before the Civil War, has been home to a predominantly Black community on Wilmington's Northside since the 1920s.   The property was sold or leased as farmland in the 1880s and in 1909 started selling 50-by-100 foot lots priced between $100 and $125 the city of Wilmington tried unsuccessfully to evict community residents to build a sewage treatment facility in the area Nearing the 21st century, Love Grove was comprised of approximately 60 single-family homes, predominantly occupied by Black residents. Train tracks, which cross the King Street entrance to the neighborhood, once extended down the center of the street to a plywood manufacturing plant that was demolished more than two decades ago.  Infill development brought in new homes to Love Grove throughout the 2000s some built by Cape Fear Habitat for Humanity In 2004, city council approved a request for high-density development along 25 acres at the back end of the neighborhood known as Clarendon Park -- a decision opposed by residents In 2023 -- five years after the opening of the bridge -- McKee Homes built a wave of new residences the half mile-long neighborhood houses both longtime residents and newcomers Love Grove is also the location of Archie Blue Community Park the park underwent significant improvements It has served as a gathering place for cookouts community meetings and even a funeral during the COVID-19 pandemic Just a few years after the opening of the Love Grove Memorial Bridge in 2018 straight from that neighborhood right to (North) 23rd Street," Sparks said of Clarendon Park "This last stretch took off after the bridge was completed." but many newcomers in Clarendon Park now cite the location's convenience as a primary draw "When I first came and I saw the bridge I thought 'wow that's so pretty and the area is really nice,'" said Naomi Pyle a renter originally from New York who has lived along Creekfront Drive for approximately a year-and-a-half new residents seem to have mixed opinions on how they describe the area both new and longtime residents agree those in Clarendon Park and Love Grove rarely interact "Safety is occasionally a problem," Pyle said "I will say Wilmington police have stepped up their patrol," adding that she'd also like to see the creation of a community watch The new development and the opening of the bridge has also brought more thru traffic into Love Grove but newer residents near the bridge see it differently "I wish there were speed bumps," Heather Harris who has owned a home along Creekfront Drive for approximately a year-and-a-half Harris said another common issue is a lack of parking which can make getting through the neighborhood streets a problem -- something McMillan has also noticed "That can bring about confusion sometimes because people don't want you parking in their drive .. and there's no place on the street now," McMillan said Though she doesn't believe the addition of new housing has changed the overall culture of the neighborhood McMillan said her main concern is with the density of the new development "I think the houses are too close together," McMillan said that's the only thing I have an issue with." With the area's rapid growth in the last few years it doesn't sound like development in Love Grove is slowing soon What that ultimately might mean for the historic neighborhood and its longtime residents remains uncertain "I get letters and calls and things everyday about wanting to sell (my house,)" McMillan said And I think the lady said something about $160,000 New Hanover County property records currently appraise McMillan's property at $322,500 Love Grove and Clarendon Park continue to see a steady flow of traffic from residents The area even draws in the occasional tourist "There's a lot of people that come and they just take photos of that sign over there that's One Tree Hill Way," said Pyle a nod to the "One Tree Hill" TV series that filmed in Wilmington "At least once a week we'll have people come take pictures at that sign."

My Profile Logout JAM students join None of the Above at Jammin’ in the Grove 2025 – photo © G Nicholas Hancock Youngsters from the Caldwell County JAM, Stokes County JAM, Morganton JAM, and the Yadkin County JAM attended the event, and each group performed in between sets from featured bands which included The Zack Brown Band, The Biscuit Eaters, His & Hers, and None of the Above. Tim Frye, DJ at WPAQ and WBRF Radio, served as MC for the event. The local Union Grove Elementary School Cloggers kicked off the music by entertaining the audience with a couple of dance demonstrations. Blake Farms owner, Brenda Blake, said she hopes the event will continue annually as a fundraiser for JAM, and members of None of the Above quickly agreed. The Blakes purchased the farmland formerly owned by the Harper Van Hoy family, who produced the annual Ole Time Fiddler’s and Bluegrass Festival at the site they called Fiddler’s Grove every Memorial Day Weekend from 1970 to 2013. Featured bands began with Zack Brock and his four-piece ensemble. Zack is from Yadkinville, NC, and his musical influences come from country, bluegrass, rock, and Americana. Brock has released two EPs titled Old House Sessions and Sunday Morning Turnaround. The Biscuit Eaters are a bluegrass family band from Surry County, NC comprised of the Wilkerson family that includes Samuel, 15; Josiah, 12; Maggie Jane, 10; Silas, 8; and Molly age 6.

There's just such a significant difference between someone trying to describe a scene to you versus showing you the live video situational awareness is immediate and complete." the drone has proven itself to be especially helpful to the force the nightshift force is smaller than the daytime force having the drone on hand has become an important asset  These capabilities are providing the team with a tactical advantage that is impossible to quantify “Flying at night was a non-negotiable for us,” Lt Lange said “We were trying to augment and offset those times when officers have the least number of additional resources we don't have a lot of additional units working evenings or weekends Having a platform that truly augments patrol services and provides air operations and situational awareness at night was critical.” Education and transparency are key to positive public perceptionDespite all the good drones are doing for EDPG and other police departments gaining trust and educating the communities remains a hurdle to adopting and integration When community members aren’t aware of public safety drone operations it can be alarming or confusing to see a drone flying around their town It’s easy for misconceptions and fear to arise as a result EGPD recognized this issue before they launched their program and made it a priority to educate their community before taking to the skies “We don’t wait for the questions — we proactively go out and say exactly what we’re doing and what safeguards we have in place,” Lt we have a forward-facing portal where you can see 100% of our drone flights City council can shut down our technology use at any time if it's used unethically — and they see everything we do.” arguably one of the most important ideas to drive home is that drones are not replacing officers or existing air operations like helicopters Drones are meant to solve the same problem by using different tools They’re meant to serve as an augmentation to the current technology and be a force multiplier EGPD recognized the value of transparency to its public and has taken a few different courses of action to give the public all the information they need This department holds and event called “Barbecue in the Beat” where the force brings all the drones to a park where community members can see drones and ask questions Attendees can touch all the tech and ask officers clarifying questions highlighting a sense of transparency that can be the difference between a positive or negative assumption about what exactly departments are doing with emerging technologies Beyond gathering the community in person, EGPD offers even greater transparency into their drone program by having a virtual library of each flight they make that the public can access on their department website Every single drone flight is video recorded and saved for a year and any community member can ask about a flight and see the related case number and flight path This kind of access to information by the public is paramount to successful acceptance of drone use by police departments It provides the community with a sense of security knowing that the drones are strictly used for public safety efforts Success with such endeavors is more about a comprehensive mindset than any single tactic.  “Transparency isn’t just one method,” Lt “It’s a combination of outreach and being intentional about showing the community what we’re doing."

Smith said the man was turning right from 900 West onto 2600 North in his four-door Chevy pickup truck when he hit Dalton in the crosswalk on his bike He said the police department is not naming the driver because charges have not been filed there is a chance he might not ever be charged we don't want to be a part of ruining his name or his reputation or his family's name We just want to be respectful of him as well." Smith said the man has not been charged even though he left the scene of the crash because officers have not completed their investigation "We are going to be working with the Utah County Prosecutors Office we will evaluate the merits of the criminal case," Smith said Smith said there is a chance the driver might not ever be charged "The other side of this investigation is that there's an elderly man who is somebody's father who has diminished faculties and is operating a vehicle on the roadway I think we can all put ourselves in those shoes — if it was our father who had done something inadvertently and accidentally Smith wanted to assure the public that "the Pleasant Grove Police Department is completely invested in seeking justice for this nine-year-old boy." "Our whole neighborhood and ward has just been kind of really reeling from the loss of Dalton and we've all just kind of trying to group together and do what we can to support their family," Ingles said Smith said the elderly driver did have a valid driver's license this is part of the discussion that we're having right now is if you or a loved one is at a diminished capacity and you are questioning your driving ability or a loved one's ability to skillfully operate a motor vehicle we need to have that conversation," Smith said "We need to get those drivers off of the road." People in the neighborhood said the road where the crash happened had been recently widened the community has had concerns about their own children's safety and wanted to see the city add safety measures there to keep children who go to school there safe "It's so hard to fight the city on getting stop lights and stop signs and safety measures and they have all kinds of reasons and excuses I'm not saying they're not good ones but I think a child's life is probably more important than any of those excuses that they could give," Reimschiissel said KUTV 2News did reach out to the Pleasant Grove City Manager and the Pleasant Grove Mayor and asked if they are considering additional traffic calming measures in the wake of this accident LOCAL NEWS 9:57 PM | Updated: May 2 BY DANIEL WOODRUFF PLEASANT GROVE – Friends and neighbors held a vigil Thursday evening to support the family of a 9-year-old boy who was hit and killed while riding his bike Hundreds of people showed up to light candles and walk quietly along Northfield Drive in Pleasant Grove to the home of the family of Dalton Gibbs People gathered at a candlelight vigil in Pleasant Grove 2025 to support the family of Dalton Gibbs Dalton died Tuesday after getting hit by a truck as he was crossing 2600 North at 900 West, not far from his house.

now line fences trees and street signs in a Pleasant Grove neighborhood They’re a small gesture for a big loss The ribbons are in memory of 9-year-old Dalton Gibbs, who was hit and killed Tuesday afternoon while crossing the street on his bike near 2600 North and 900 West Neighbors said Dalton was a joyful and kindhearted boy who was always smiling His sudden death has left a deep pain in the community “We all just ache for this beautiful family,” said Suzette Davis who helped tie ribbons throughout the neighborhood “This community is so amazing in the fact that they want to rally around people who are struggling and suffering.” He remembers taking the boys to Redline Racing in Orem during winter break for their first real go-kart experience “Dalton was a good little natural racer,” Meads said But Meads said what stood out even more was Dalton’s maturity particular when Meads would visit with the Gibbs family for church teachings “The thing that I think the family would want people to know about Dalton and that I picked up on pretty quickly through those experiences is that for a 9-year-old he had a spiritual depth to him,” said Meads “He was a young bright light in this world.” Pleasant Grove Police said Dalton was crossing the street around 4 p.m when he was hit by a truck turning at a stop sign The driver left the scene but was located later that evening and taken in for questioning Investigators said the driver is a man in his 80’s and the investigation is ongoing as the case has been turned over to the city and county attorney’s office to screen for possible charges Neighbors said the hope the ribbons show the Gibbs family how loved and supported they are during this unimaginable time “To know the Gibbs family is to love the Gibbs family,” said Meads
