Title A name given to the resource "Settler's Ridge Development Wins Awards": 2008 Description An account of the resource Sugar Grove’s Settlers Ridge Development Wins Awards The Settlers Ridge subdivision, located in Sugar Grove, Illinois, was designed and is being built by Kimball Hill, Inc. recently won an award for exemplary natural landscaping and conservation development. This award was presented to Kimball Hill, Inc. by the Chicago Wilderness Corporation Council and The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. From the early concept phase of the Settlers Ridge subdivision, the Village of Sugar Grove and Kimball Hill worked jointly to plan a subdivision that would be unique to Sugar Grove. The desire of both was to build a community that would stand out from others. Settler's Ridge is a 1,300 acre lifestyle community designed with both conservation development and traditional neighborhood design themes and includes more than 40 percent open space and native plantings abound throughout. The development incorporates numerous conservation design elements; stormwater facilities designed to be naturalized lakes; wetlands containing native planting, and greenway swales with native plantings that double as a stormwater management. The Settlers Ridge Water Works System Improvements also received the Project of the Year award from the American Public Works Association Chicago Metro Chapter The Waterworks System not only tripled the water storage capacity, while providing safe, clean and radium compliant water, it was uniquely designed to fit the overall architectural theme of Settlers Ridge. “Native plants provide a beautiful, hardy, low maintenance landscape which also benefits the environment,” said President Sean Michels. “Once established, native plants save time and money by eliminating or reducing the need for fertilizers, pesticides, and water and lawn maintenance equipment. The design of the Water Works System is unique and a showpiece of the Village. Having appealing facilities and environmentally friendly amenities in all developments such as the landscaping, stormwater management, waterworks facility and trail system in Settlers Ridge is a goal of the Village. We (the Village Board) are extremely proud to have this development in our.” At the Village Board meeting of March 18, 2008 the Village of Sugar Grove presented a certificate to Kimball Hill, Inc recognizing their outstanding achievements in the Settlers Ridge subdivision.

Title A name given to the resource Bliss Family Coat of Arms Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Genealogy of the Bliss family in America, from about the year 1550 – 1880 by John Homer Bliss, January 1, 1881, pages 14-15. Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource January 1, 1881 Description An account of the resource “Coats of Arms were long regarded as ‘indispensable appendages of gentlemen,’ but on the decline of feudal system, about 1688, and the rise of the Reformation, they were treated in a measure as idle trappings of aristocracy, and lost the prestige originally attributed to them. In America they soon came to be regarded as ‘relics of former family vanity;’ and the staunch old Puritans would not allow themselves to tolerate even a thought that could remind them of the vain-glorious display and pomp of their persecutors in England; and so their children and descendants born in America grew up in ignorance of the heraldic standing of their ancestors in the mother country. “In Edmondson’s Heraldry, and also in Vol. II of ‘Encyclopedia Heralidica,’ by William Berry, of London, England, we find the following description of the Coat of Arms of the Bliss family: “ ‘ Gules, a bend vaire, between two fleurs-de-lis, or.’ “ “ As to the construction of this shield, it appears that gules (red) is a royal color, as Gerard Leigh says, ‘it hath long been used by emperors and kings for an apparel of majesty, and of judges in their judgment seats.’ Spelman observes that the color red was honored by the Romans as it had been before by the Trojans, for they painted their gods with vermillion, and clothed their generals who triumphed, with garments of that hue. This color denotes martial prowess, boldness, hardihood, valor and magnanimity; it is considered the noblest of all colors, and in Heraldry is assimilated to the planet Mars in the heavens, to the ruby among stones, and among flowers to the rose. “The origin of vair (or vaire) is from the fur of a beast called varus, [MACKENZIE, p. 23] whose back is a blue-gray, its belly being white, and therefore heralds have expressed it white and blue in colors; and when the head and feet of the animal are taken away, the skin resembles in figure a little cup or bell. The skins are used alternately blue and white, and in ancient times were much in vogue for lining the robes and mantles of senators, consuls, kings and emperors, and thereupon were termed ‘doublings.’ The first use of them in Heraldry is said to be from LE SEGNEUR DE COUCIES, fighting in Hungary, and seeing his army fly, pulled out the doubling or lining of his cloak, which was of those colors, and hung it up as an ensign; whereupon the soldiers knowing his courage and confiding in it, returned to battle and overcame their enemy. – [COLOMB., p. 58.] The fleur-de-lis has been from the first bearing the charge of a regal escutcheon originally borne by the French kings, and was until late in the nineteenth century the insignia of royalty in France. The lily, which of all flowers is most esteemed by the French, has been of old and still is represented by a rudely drawn fleur-de-lis. As before stated, it was the heraldic device or emblem of the royal family of France, and was so borne form the time of Clovis until the accession of Louis Phillippe; -- and whether this badge came to our family by royal descent or by royal favor, we are unable to judge. “In English Heraldry different marks of cadency were used to indicate the various branches or cadets of one family; - the oldest son, during the life of his father, bore a ‘label;’ the second son a crescent; the third a mullet; the fourth a martlet; the fifth an annulet; and the sixth a fleur-de-lis. Thus it would appear that the original grant of arms to a Bliss, by whoever given, (if in England,) was to a sixth son. Some writers have fancied that a significant symbol might be drawn from the fleur-de-lis as to the flowers of literature which younger sons were led to cultivate in the schools to fit them for the church, the senate, and the bar; but Newton thinks the adaptation was originally intended to be only personal, and accident in arms, exhibiting the degree of consanguinity of the bearer to the living head of the family. “Or, (gold) – ‘Such is the worthiness of this color that non ought to bear the same in arms but emperors and kings, and such as be of the blood royal; and as this metal exceedeth all others in value, purity and fineness, so ought the bearer endeavor to surpass all others in prowess and virtue.’ – GUILLIM." “The significance and appropriateness of the crest will be fully understood after a perusal of the Traditional History of the family. “The motto, ‘SEMPER SURSUM,’ translated, means, ‘ever upward,’ and signifies that the bearer should always endeavor to excel in his undertakings, aiming at goodness rather than greatness, in every deed or motive.” Bliss Family History https://museum.sugargrovehistory.org/files/original/1caeb59c0bb47e1e6765f59774184b20.jpg b3f48318621ca4cb6e6ba16bfdaeb21c Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Route 47 and Galena Boulevard Description An account of the resource Introduction The Village of Sugar Grove, Illinois is located west of Chicago in the rapidly expanding I-88 Corridor. This region continues to exhibit significant growth and demand for new housing construction and, subsequently, for the retail, commercial and recreational development that follows such housing growth. The 2005 Sugar Grove Comprehensive Plan Update identifies three distinct areas for Town Center commercial development. These areas include: 1. The Village’s traditional downtown area along Main Street. 2. The Promenade, a southern extension of the downtown along the west side of Illinois Route 47 immediately south of the existing downtown and Prairie Street. 3. The Special Development District (SDD), a 243 acre area bound by IL. Route 56, IL. Route 47 and Galena Boulevard planned for mixed use development with an entertainment focus. This area is the focus of this Feasibility Study. As this location map indicates, the SDD has excellent regional access. With this access comes the potential for a mixed use development including retail, entertainment, recreational, and multi-family residential uses. Some preliminary interest has been expressed by the development community. To properly assess the potential of this area, its relationship to other areas of Sugar Grove, and the municipal planning and development tools which would be necessary to pursue identified potential, the Village of Sugar Grove has commissioned this feasibility study. The study’s objective is to determine economic feasibility, impact on the surrounding area, potential financial impact on municipal revenues, and the strategic actions required to pursue identified potential uses. https://museum.sugargrovehistory.org/files/original/6d4080ea6c71c1808168c3eecf56d252.pdf 0cc26a1a4c1679211ea59e35279151e3 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
