Timeless for a Vintage Year: 1927, Modern Times.

From the 19th Century and 20th Century To The 21st Century.


1927 was a vintage year for memorable, auspicious events and dates to remember…



The year 1927 coincides with the construction of the Lombard Brick Bungalow at 502 S. Westmore Avenue and Washington Blvd. , in time for the Lilac Festival at Lilacia Park in the Village of Lombard , Du Page County, Illinois, USA. During 1927, Lombard lived through a building contracts boom for community development, expansion and growth.



During 1927, “the Grandaddies Sol Kogen and Edgar Miller in Old Town , renewed their friendship from the School of the Art Institute and joined efforts in rehabbing old buildings with recyclable materials, to be used as studios”—according to Dennis Rodkin, Chicago Reader, in the Nest Issue, “ Chicago architecture was booming in 1927.” The original Carl Street Studios were erected in 1927 and bears Sol Kogen’s name at 155 W. Carl Street , know today as Burton Place in Chicago , Illinois , USA .[1]



Eighty-one years ago establishes a milestone for the Modernist style of architecture featuring Art Deco, Nouveau Art, stained glass windows, glass etchings, beveled and leaded glass, in the Italianate style, as well as mosaics, frescoes, and architectural interior designs.



In 1927, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences was founded.



The telegraph and the telephone were used for “speedy communications”.[2]



During March 19, 1927, the Village of Lombard issued new building permits in demand for the great expansion and growth of Babcock’s Grove, since 1833, when Ralph and Morgan Babcock traveled west of Chicago to secure land for the Church Deacon, Winslow Churchill and his family, in Du Page County, Illinois, USA.[3]



In 1869, Babcock’s Grove was incorporated when Josiah P. Lombard, one of the village’s main landowners, lent his name to the new municipality, known today as the Village of Lombard , according to town historian Jean Van Rensselar.



At the turn-of-the-century, the Lombard Historic Brick Bungalow at 502 S. Westmore Avenue and Washington Blvd. was owned by the Ahrens Family as a subdivision of part of the block “A” in Robertson’s Westmore, according to the Plat recorded June 1st, 1922 by the Du Page County Recorder of Deeds Office. Both Mary Ahrens and Emil Ahrens lived at this Lombard Historic Brick home during 1929 and 1930, according to property records.

During 1922, when the Ahrens recorded this property deed, a building ordinance was passed in the Village of Lombard , the superintendent of construction was appointed, and the Lombard village board studied zoning ordinance. There were 2,200 acres in Du Page County, subdivided into residential lots—old farms were being subdivided. According to the late Mrs. Steben, my elderly next-door neighbor, “the area was old farm land with horse stables, surrounded by corn fields”.



More petitions for new subdivisions were presented in 1922. At the time, the Lombard trustees forecasted the expansion and uncontrolled growth. There were dirt roads and muddy paths—“some sections were inundated by spring rains”. According to Lillian Budd, Lombard historian, The Lombard News summarized, “…clamoring for water in pipes, while at the same time battling water not in pipes.”[5] Some property owners laid water mains at their own expense, then asked permission to connect with the village water system. The Village of Lombard planned street paving afterwards in 1922.



During March 19, 1927, the Village of Lombard issued new building permits. By June 1927, eight (8) more building permits were issued. At the time, property values in Lombard increased—“one vacant lot more than tripled in value, within one year”.[6]



Colonel William R. Plum, died on April 28, 1927, during Lilac Time. Upon his death, the Estate of Colonel Plum and his wife, Helen M. Plum was bequeathed to the Village of Lombard , for a public park, known today as Lilacia Park , in 2008. The Lombard Park District was established on September 26, 1927 in Du Page County, Illinois, USA[7].



Eighty-six years later, there are still Lombard resident senior citizens living today to celebrate their anniversaries in Lilac Town . Last Friday, August 29, 2008, the Lombard Spectator reported that there is still a need for water main construction on Meyers Road, between 22nd Street and 16th Street for the installation of a new water transmission main on Meyers Road at the York Center—to be completed in two (2) months, according to the Lombard Public Works Department, engineer Frank Kalisik.[8] The Lombard water transmission main is designed for a water booster station to process about 4,000 feet of water, locally. This is not a water main to the Lombard residents’ homes.



The Lombard Spectator was first published in 1927 by Frank T. Jirsa, Jr. On June 16, 1927, the Lilac Town voice became “Devoted to the interests of Lombard—“a Village of Homes ”.[9] This local newspaper brought attention to Lilac Town as the Village of Lombard , founded in 1869.



According to Lombard history[10], the Ahrens Family can be traced back to the German Lutheran brothers Ehler and Friedrich Ahrens, who helped to build Trinity Lutheran Church School , “schulgemeinde”, on Roosevelt Road and Wisconsin street , York Center . On June 15, 1868, the Ahrens brothers joined Jobst Goltermann, Henry and Friedrich Goltermann, and Heinrich Meyer to provide for the Trinity Lutheran Church School and congregation at the York Center , in Babcock’s Grove, before the Village of Lombard was incorporated, in 1869. The original twelve (12) Lutherans who erected Trinity Lutheran Church at Roosevelt and Meyers Road were: three (3) Goltermann brothers, two (2) Ahrens brothers, Fr. Meyer, H. H. Hogrefe, J. Uhlhorn, W. Woltermann , D. Scharlau, F. Schumaker, and H. Niemann.



One hundred and forty years have passed now in 2008 since that fateful day. Now Trinity Lutheran Church and School celebrate the 140th anniversary of serving the Village of Lombard community and the Lutheran congregation at York Center , in Du Page County, Illinois, United States of America.



The Lombard Historic Brick Bungalow is Timeless for a Vintage Year: 1927, Modern Times, from the 19th Century and 20th Century To The 21st Century. This Lombard Historic Brick Bungalow has remained at the corner of Westmore Avenue and Washington Blvd., since the Ahrens Family built the Lombard property in 1927.



Two centuries later, on September 2nd, 1993, Mr. Roberto Hung purchased the Lombard Historic Brick Bungalow from Debra Y. Sekrecki, with an initial down payment of $2,000, as earnest money paid by personal check, added to the total cash payment of $88,000 at a fixed interest rate not to exceed 8.00% per year, amortized over a period of fifteen (15) years. At the time, Debra Y. Sekrecki had two (2) children, a boy and a girl, lived with Stella, the tenant upstairs, and father Adam Sekrecki.



Three years before, on July 11, 1993, Mr. Roberto Hung signed a Standard Residential Sales Contract from the Du Page Association of Realtors in agreement to purchase the Lombard real estate property at 502 S.

Century 21, Action Real Estate provided a Buyer Service Pledge presented by Steve Block, Telephone: 630-627-5500, and Dino, the real estate agent with Roberto Hung, signed in agreement. Afterwards, Roberto Hung received a copy of Rider 412, Buyer’s Inspection which he signed as buyer with Debra Sekrecki, as seller.



In 1993, Century 21, Action Real Estate described in a listing the Highlights of the Lombard Historic Brick Bungalow at the corner of Westmore Avenue and Washington Blvd., owned by Debra Y. Sekrecki with tenant Stella. At the time, the Du Page County Real Estate Taxes were only $2,744 for the brick house. After Roberto Hung purchased the same Lombard Brick House, the Lombard property taxes doubled for more than $4,000, without providing the senior citizens Homestead Exemption.



This Lombard Brick Home is located near Westmore Elementary School and St. Pius X Church School, Jackson Middle School , and Willowbrook High School .

A Miracle on 22nd Street

During early Spring 2008, while the snow was still on the ground, I walked to Yorktown Center, three (3) miles away from home--on 22nd Street and Convention Drive, next to the Westin Hotel in Lombard. The walk exercises me and time flies in 60 minutes, while I engage in meditation, reflection, and relaxation activity from Washington Blvd. and Westmore-Meyers Road, all the way to Highland Avenue at the mall.

White snow was still on the walking path, when I found a white plastic card, faced down along my way. I stopped to pick it up and saw an edged Christmas gift box with a big red bow, die-cut card from Target store... Someone must have dropped an antique, old Target gift card, since the store is only two blocks away--a Christmas Target Gift Card.

It was my Lucky Day! Right before the nature forest preserve and the jogging path, I stopped to wonder how this happened, over the holiday and the heavy snowfall for January and February in 2008. I continued my winter snow walk in meditation and reflection, all the way to the Target store, with the antique Christmas gift card--since I did not have any money in my pockets.

A miracle happened on 22nd Street that day! When the Target cashier checked the antique, old Christmas gift card with the scanner, it read $30 towards a Target purchase. The red gift bow on the card showed a special gift card, unlike the shiny, brand new ones at the Target store nowadays. A Miracle on 22nd Street happened that day...

Village of Lombard , Town Hall Lombard Police Department

255 E. Wilson Avenue Lombard Fire Department

Lombard , IL 60148-3028 USA Lombard Bureau of Inspectional Services



BACKGROUND

I. For the record, Gardenia C. Hung has already reported this unfair and unjust incident to Rev. Herb Essig and the Friends at St. Pius X Catholic Church, since this problem took place in public, on July 26, 2006, just across from St. Pius X Church where the Catholic nuns live.

I have asked for Community Support to report how the Lombard Police Department has unfairly arrested me for wrongful charges and alleged that I have committed criminal assault, obstructed a police officer, and resisted arrest on July 26, 2006 . During that afternoon, I had been training for employment at the Illinois Employment and Training Center located at the Eastgate Shopping Center in Lombard . Around 4PM , three (3) young women walked into the bathroom while I was leaving and after I left, called the Lombard Police Department on their cellular telephone to report a stolen cellular telephone. The names of the three young women from Glen Ellyn are Jamila Hanif, Khadija Hanif, and Javeria Hanif, residents at 50 Briar Street #101 , Glen Ellyn , Illinois 60137 , who talked to Lombard Policewoman Pamela Lessner, Badge No. 710, who was driving the Lombard Community Service Truck. I have pleaded NOT GUILTY to all charges. Afterwards, Lombard Policeman David Thiede, Badge No. 24, alleged that I assaulted him with a Red Burberry umbrella, resisted a peace officer, and obstructed a peacer officer on the front lawn of St. Pius X Catholic Chuch, located at the corner of Westmore-Meyers Road and Madison Street , in the Village of Lombard , Du Page County, Illinois, United States of America. In spite of evidence presented on January 30, 2007 Judge Thomas Riggs sentenced me to thirty (30) hours of community service and additional court fines and costs in the amount of $604, six hundred and four dollars. This legal matter has been under case hearing and review in the 18th Judicial Circuit Court, Room 4005, before Judge Jane Hird Mitton, on Fridays, May 16, 2005, at 9H30 a.m. and was continued for Monday, May 19, 2006 , at 9H30 a.m. to verify 30 hours of Community Service performed by Gardenia C. Hung at St. Pius X Catholic Church in the Village of Lombard during 2007-2008. For the record, Gardenia C. Hung has appeared before Judge Thomas Riggs, Judge Cary B. Pierce, as well as before Judge McKillip on September 29, 2006, 8H30, in Room 4001 at the DuPage County Judicial Center , 505 North County Farm Road , Wheaton IL 60187 .

Gardenia C. Hung was walking peacefully home from the Illinois Employment and Training Center at 837 S. Westmore-Meyers Road, Lombard, IL 60148, Telephone (630) 495-4345, next to the Illinois Secretary of State, Jesse White Vehicle License Facility, at the Eastgate Shopping Center in Lombard when Lombard Policewoman Pam, Badge No. 710, yelled out from the white Community Police truck that I had stolen an East Indian woman's cellular telephone at the I.E.T.C. I stopped to answer her "NO" at the corner of Adams St. and Westmore-Meyers Road in Lombard and continued walking home toward St. Pius X Church. When arrived to the front lawn of St. Pius X Church, Lombard Policeman Thiede, Benedicsen, Virene, Schrepferman and Pam, all got out of their Lombard police cars to arrest me and drop all the contents of my handbags on the green lawn, along with my yellow knapsack and my red Burberry umbrella.

During the False Arrest/Detention with Wrongful Charges, Gardenia C. Hung received visible scratches on her right hand wrist, for the record. Both of her arms were twisted and wrenched by Lombard Policeman Thiede who handcuffed her without due reasons. In addition, Lombard Policeman Thiede forcefully removed a Silver Bracelet with a Christian Cross Pendant and did not return the jewelry to Gardenia C. Hung. Gardenia C. Hung wants her Christian Cross Silver Bracelet returned for her right wrist. Moreover, all the contents of (2) two red handbags were emptied on the green lawn in front of St. Pius X Catholic Church, while the Red

Burberry umbrella was thrown on the green lawn by the Lombard Police, and they searched the yellow backpack containing water bottles and personal items.

Gardenia C. Hung, does not plead guilty to Count 1, Obstructing a Peace Officer, nor Count 2, Resisting a Peace Officer, or Count 3, Assault of the Lombard Police as defined by “an open threat of bodily contact with someone without permission”. Please note that Gardenia C. Hung's Red Burberry umbrella did not have any contact with any of the Lombard Police involved in this matter—Thiede, Benedicsen, Virene, Schrepferman, Pam, and/or Marciniak. None of the Lombard Police in this matter have been assaulted, injured or attacked by Gardenia C. Hung. While Gardenia C. Hung has been harassed, manhandled, scratched, and injured by Lombard Police Thiede who abused process for wrongful charges, false arrest/detention without foundation. The Lombard Police are at fault due to false imprisonment/detention, malicious prosecution which is to misuse the legal process to harass an individual, and interference with person by law in Illinois . Gardenia C. Hung was held at the Lombard Police Department for five (5) hours without any water or food by Lombard Policeman David Thiede, Badge No. 24. In addition, the Lombard Police Department has kept my Christian Silver Cross Bracelet and also trespassed into my private home to take the Red Burberry Umbrella on November 28, 2007.

As a result of the Lombard Police Department actions against me, I have been suffering financial hardship, unemployment, and personal needs for transportation cash in the Village of Lombard community and in Wheaton , Du Page County, Illinois to cover repeated court appearances at the 18th Judicial Circuit Court. I, Gardenia C. Hung, as a Victim of Crime by the Lombard Police Department, cannot pay $350US for Community Service Performed at St. Pius X Catholic Church in the Village of Lombard due to financial hardship, poverty, and no compensation or reimbursement monies received for physical abuse, personal injury, damages and losses caused by the Lombard Police Department in the Village of Lombard, Du Page County, Illinois, United States of America.

2008 Community Service in the County of Du Page, the Village of Lombard, and the Chicagoland area--Past, Present, Future, and Beyond…

by G.C. Hung, M.A., Communications, Languages & Culture, Inc.

I have volunteered more than 2008 hours, as an Illinois resident homeowner, taxpayer, and U.S. citizen in the Village of Lombard. I have always volunteered for the community and performed community services at my own expense and using the operational budget for my company, Communications, Languages & Culture, Inc., on behalf of children, young people, adults, and the elderly, even the sick, the disabled, and the feeble--in the past, currently in the present, future, and beyond…

Since I live one block away from St. Pius X Church, my local Christian Catholic Parish, at 1025 East Madison Street, in the Village of Lombard, Du Page County, Illinois, I have volunteered more than 100 hours to help and assist at church events sponsored by the Catholic Council of Women, at the Shrine of Mary Immaculate Queen for rosary prayers, Eucharistic adoration, services, including supporting Elizabeth Ministry during the Living Rosary, Making Tie-Knot Baby Blankets, and the St. Pius X School and CCW, serving chili dogs, pizza, chili burgers, hot dogs during the Christmas Magic Bazaar, Chili Night, Christmas decorations, and singing with the Adult Choir during the year. I have volunteered to perform and help the Adult Choir with Joel Everett and Jean Ceithaml. Also, I have helped the Council of Catholic Women during events for the Magic Craft Show and Raffle, Chili Night, Elizabeth Ministry services for baby blankets, attendance, Holy Rosary, Christmas Holiday Decoration. On Sundays, I have assisted Jeff to find missing car keys left behind the church pew and return the same keys to the rightful owner.

The Friends of the Helen M. Plum Library remember me as a member of the Library Board and a volunteer editor for the quarterly newsletter, the Christmas Wreath Contest, the Annual Book Sale, and other library community events in Lilac Town.

The Lombard Garden Club welcomed me as one of their own flowers and invited me to present my garden travelogue of the Jenny Butchart Gardens, the Montréal Botanical Gardens, and my own experience as a gardener and resident homeowner. I have also volunteered during the Lombard Lilac Festival and helped to give away free Lilac bushes, pruned, cleaned, and delivered to visitors’ cars at the Lilacia Park driveway. In addition, as a Friend of the Parks, I have helped to garden, weed, and clean-up for Spring at the Lombard Historical Society with other gardeners.


The Friends of the Sheldon Peck Homestead in Lombard, invited me to visit them and join them for events at the log cabin. I have volunteered to help in handstitching a patch for a homemade quilt in Lombard.

Later the Lombard Service League asked me to join them as the LSL Newsletter editor and volunteer participant to promote community events at the Lexington Square Retirement Center.
The Village of Lombard invited me to participate in the Community Relations Workshop and TV Channel 6 media training seminar for broadcasting and publishing events for the community-at-large.

As Faculty at the College of Du Page, I volunteered extra time after regular work hours for the Latin American Committee and the European Heritage Committee, as well as for the Nursing Program featuring Spanish for Health Care Communication Professionals in the medical field.

The American Red Cross has trained and certified me as a volunteer to provide First Aid, Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), and Advanced Electronic Defibrillator (AED) assistance for first medical responders. I have helped to save lives in the community by providing emergency care and American Red Cross assistance.

Others have benefited from my community volunteer support for law enforcement agencies locally, statewide, and nationally as a member of the Illinois Sheriff Association, for many years in the Village of Lombard, Du Page County, Illinois.

In Wheaton, I have volunteered for Holy Cross Lutheran Church located at 802 E. Geneva Road, to help in the Global Assistance Program providing Tie-a-Knot Blankets made by the women at church with their own hands. I have also attended the Sibelius Music Festival during the summer and participated in the musical concerts sponsored by Finlandia University at Holy Cross Lutheran Church.

In addition, I have been a Court Advocate and Friend of the Court in Wheaton, at the 18th Judicial Circuit Court, Du Page Judicial Center.

Also, I have offered my communication skills and language services for translation to the National Lodge at the Theosophical Society of America in Wheaton.

As a Lombard resident homeowner, taxpayer, and U.S. citizen, I have always supported my local public schools, Westmore Elementary School and St. Pius X Catholic School.

During my active years of teaching kindergarten, elementary, high school, and college students, I have volunteered endless hours for young people and the elderly alike. As a college student, I volunteered for senior citizens during a graduate project for the American Gerontological Association and Chicago-area hospitals and nursing homes. I also volunteered in Chinatown for the Chinese-American Service League.

In addition, I have also volunteered for professional associations who remember me as an active member at the Illinois Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages, Conference Committee Chair for Public Relations, at the Chicago Area Translators Association, at the American Translators Association, French and Spanish Language Divisions, and at the Federation of International Translators, around the world.

During 2007 and 2008, I am volunteering to present the proposal presentation for discussion about: The Chinese Concepts of “Shih” in Contrast to “Hsüe” in English for Translation and Cultural Diversity, at the XVIII World Congress of the International Federation of Translators, Translation and Cultural Diversity, August 4-7, 2008, Shanghai, China. I have been researching and developing this topic to discuss linguistic concepts in translation and cultural diversity, into English. Translation and Cultural diversity offer insights about how language is used in the community.

Throughout the years, I have volunteered for the City of Chicago – Office of the Mayor, the Chicago Public Schools, the Chicago Humanities Festival, and other community groups who have shared my time at Northeastern Illinois University, St. Augustine College, Oakton Community College, etc.

Since I usually have to pay cash for my own volunteer services, using my personal income, and my own company resources, equipment, and budget for Communications, Languages & Culture, Inc., I cannot say that I have failed to perform my civic duties as an Illinois resident homeowner, taxpayer, and U.S. citizen.

As I am getting older, lacking in resources and transportation to pay for my own volunteer services, I am very selective when I offer my time to volunteer for the community-at-large. However, those who see me walking around and volunteering willingly to help others, cannot say that I have failed to do my duty as a community service volunteer in the past, present, future, and beyond…here, there, and everywhere…

Greetings and Best Wishes for the Chinese New Year 4706 and Leap Year on Friday, February 29th, 2008

Attn. Friends, Colleagues, and Associates

Dear Friends, Colleagues and Associates:

Greetings and Best Wishes for the Chinese New Year 4706 and Leap Year on Friday, February 29th, 2008! My name is Gardenia C. Hung. I am an alumni from Northeastern Illinois University, Class of 1982. The good news is that the Translators Association of China has forwarded a letter of invitation to the XVIII World Congress of the International Federation of Translators (FIT) to be held in Shanghai, China during August 4-7, 2008--before the Beijing World Olympic Games. http://www.tac-online.org.cn/
Email: tac_china@yahoo.com
The Academic Committee of the Congress for FIT 2008 has accepted my proposal discussing “The Chinese concepts of “Shih” in Contrast to “Hsüe” in English for Translation and Cultural Diversity. I am still developing and researching my proposal before is due on 31 May 2008. I have already received FIT and TAC instructions to prepare the full presentation and documentation via email. In the past, I have successfully presented academic proposals which have been accepted and used for educational programs and other business applications in the State of Illinois, U.S.A, and around the world. For your reference, please visit http://www.consultingmedia-arts-comm.zoomshare.com/

However, since I have been planning to participate in XVIII World Congress of the International Federation of Translators (FIT) during August 4-7, 2009, I have a legal court matter in a Verified Complaint for Demolition and Injunctive Relief presented by the Village of Lombard Municipal Corporation, represented by Counsel Howard C. Jablecki from the Law Firm of Klein, Thorpe, and Jenkins, Ltd., and the presiding judge Kenneth L. Popejoy, from the Chancery Division, Room 2005, at the 18th Judicial Circuit Court in Wheaton, Illinois, USA.

I am a Lombard resident homeowner, Illinois taxpayer, and U.S. citizen. Last Monday, February 4th, 2008, at 10AM, Judge Ken Popejoy denied my Motion for Reconsideration to Dismiss and Strike the Verified Complaint for Demolition and for Injunctive Relief under false allegations by Counsel Howard C. Jablecki et al. that there is no new evidence, no new facts of law, and no legal grounds presented to reconsider the Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss and Strike the Verified Complaint. Judge Ken Popejoy ordered “to file an answer, any affirmative defenses and any counterclaims within 28 days, by March 3, 2008.” The status on a Preliminary Injunction Hearing and Case Action is set for March 19, 2008 at 9 a.m., Room 2005, in the 18th Judicial Circuit Court, 505 North County Farm Road, Wheaton, Illinois 60189-0707 USA. I have been filing Objections for abuse of the legal process, malicious prosecution, and obstruction of justice since new evidence has been filed for the preservation and restoration of the Lombard Historical Brick Bungalow owned by the Hung Family and the Estate of Mr. Roberto Hung, J.D. Supplemental Health Care Trust. Please note that the Village of Lombard, John and Eva Carpenter, the Lombard Police Department, Keith Steiskal, Chris Haneghan, and Robert G. Meyers are responsible for corruption, damages, and losses to my Lombard real estate property. As a communications media arts consultant, translator, interpreter, and Illinois Notary Public, I have worked at my house and home office under the registered business name of Communications, Languages & Culture, Inc. at 502 S. Westmore-Meyers Road, in the Village of Lombard, Du Page County, Illinois, USA.

These current circumstances and other constraints for demolition, injunctive relief, and financial hardship, and family distress during 2008, are imposed by the Village of Lombard and Du Page County, in the State of Illinois and in the United States of America, which prevent me and hinder my professional life, academic endeavors, and research projects…as a Lombard resident homeowner, taxpayer, and U.S. citizen.
