Daniel Benner

Daniel Benner, 63, is running for an open seat as trustee for Mohican Township. Credit: Submitted

• Residence: County Road 1975
• Age: 63
• Education: Mapleton High School, 1980
• Current occupation: Retired, but works part-time for Weller Township in Richland County as a road supervisor.
• Held previous office? No.

Why are you seeking this particular office?

I want to help get the budgeting to get grants and stuff that townships don’t pursue to cover costs for vehicles, roadwork and signs.  There are more avenues to increase the township’s money. I also have my CDL, so I’d like to help with the road crew.

What are the top 3 issues you will address if elected? How would you address them?

1. Lookin into the budget — where we’re at, where we can profit.
2. Make sure the roads are good.
3. Make sure the township has the proper equipment it needs to do those jobs.

List the top 3 things that differentiate you from your opponents.

My background is all road, military and building stuff….

No injuries were reported but heavy damage was reported after a fire broke out at a two-story duplex home in the 11000 block of Mohican Drive in unincorporated Algonquin while the residents were inside early Sunday morning. | Photo Submitted to Lake and McHenry County Scanner

Almost a dozen fire departments were called after heavy flames erupted from a duplex home, leaving residents of both units displaced, near Algonquin early Sunday morning.

The Algonquin-Lake in the Hills Fire Protection District responded around 5:30 a.m. Sunday to the 11000 block of Mohican Drive in unincorporated Algonquin for a report of a structure fire.

Algonquin-Lake in the Hills Fire Protection District Chief John Knebl said a 911 caller reported a fire in a single-family residence, which had been divided into two apartment units.

Firefighters arrived and found heavy flames coming from the second floor and the right side of the home.

All occupants had safely evacuated before the fire department arrived, Knebl said.

Firefighters conducted an aggressive attack to contain the fire, which had spread through hidden void spaces within the house.

The incident was quickly upgraded to a Mutual Aid Box Alarm System (MABAS) box alarm to bring additional personnel and resources from neighboring fire departments.

The fire was brought under control within 20 minutes, Knebl said.

No injuries were reported to any firefighters or residents. The house, including both units, was deemed uninhabitable.

Knebl said the two-story house sustained heavy damage with an initial damage estimate of $250,000.

The Cary, Carpentersville, Huntley, Crystal Lake, Barrington-Countryside, Elgin, Fox River Grove, Barrington and Palatine fire departments responded to assist.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation by the Algonquin-Lake in the Hills Fire Protection District.

LOUDONVILLE — The Mohican Area Growth Foundation (MAGF) wants to attract more dining options to downtown Loudonville.

Jordan Lance, MAGF’s board president announced the Loudonville Downtown Dining Expansion Grant Program at the foundation’s annual meeting on Thursday.

“Everybody always wants more downtown dining options or more dining options in general,” Lance said.

The grant program “supports the creation or expansion of full‐service restaurants in downtown Loudonville, Ohio. The goals are to increase food-service options for residents and visitors, extend evening activation and strengthen the hospitality ecosystem and vibrancy of the downtown district,” according to the program guidelines.

Projects seeking MAGF funding must be located between the following boundaries:

• North: Butler Street
• South: Bustle Street
• East: Pleasant Drive
• West: Mount Vernon Avenue

The Western boundary, North Mount Vernon Avenue, is not pictured.

The program budget is $80,000, where MAGF will match 80% of the project up to $80,000 per location, and applicants must contribute the other 20%. The project size must be a minimum of $10,000.

“We know that if somebody’s going to build a restaurant, it’s going to cost a lot more than $80,000, but we hope this will help make the math work. So that’s what this program is for,” Lance said.

Project awards are reimbursement-based, meaning the funds are released to applicants after improvements are installed with proper documentation of costs.

MAGF will begin accepting project applications on Nov. 1, with a priority review window of Nov. 1 through Jan. 31, and an application deadline of May 1, 2026 at 5 p.m.

The target for project completion is Dec. 31, 2026, and funds will be reimbursed 45 days following project completion.

“The MAGF Board may modify these dates or re‐open the window depending on funding and downtown priorities,” according to the…

Ohio has a lot of iconic foods: buckeyes, pierogis, smoked ribs that drip onto your plate in sticky, sweet glory. All fine, all good. But when I think of Ohio and food in the same breath, the first thing I taste is chili… Cincinnati chili, specifically. This isn’t your backyard chili, or a pot of beans simmered into something respectable; it’s a syrupy, spiced, almost perfumed sauce that laces itself over spaghetti, hugs hot dogs in coney boats, and begs for mountains of shredded cheddar. There are debates about beans. Yes, some purists say “never,” others insist they’re essential—but that tension is part of the dish’s charm. In fact, this chili is so iconic that someone once wrote a poem about it:

Red sauce kisses noodles tight,
Cheese drifts down like late-night snow,
Onions or beans? You decide,
Cincinnati waits below.

(Spoiler alert: the food poet was me)

It’s a dish that inspires art, after all. Cincinnati chili has turned up in songs, TV shows, and even the occasional quirky foodie memoir. It’s local enough to feel like a secret, universal enough to make strangers curious.

Pleasant Ridge Chili (officially the Pleasant Ridge Chili Parlor, which somehow makes ordering a bowl feel ceremonious) doesn’t mess around when it comes to chili. It’s tucked into the middle of Pleasant Ridge, a neighborhood of red-brick houses, tree-lined streets, and sidewalks where people actually nod, wave, and stop to chat like neighbors used to. It’s lively but unhurried, a place where someone will wave at you as you cross the street. Take a walk through Burnet Woods, only a few blocks away, or wander to the artsy installations scattered through the neighborhood—it’s the kind of town that rewards curiosity.

Step inside, and the diner is unapologetically old school: Cash only. Vinyl booths, a ceiling…

Stewart Huntington:
Janiyakuha Webster is a counselor ushering Stockbridge-Munsee students from their reservation in what is now Wisconsin to visit for the first time their ancestral homelands in what is now New York and Massachusetts. She wants to share with the youth something she experienced on the land.

Janiyakuha Webster:
Yeah, my first experience here was definitely like a wave that hit me. It was something that I couldn’t really explain, but it was definitely like it feels really good to be here. And I know the kids here too also feel that way.

Stewart Huntington:
In July, Webster made the 17-hour drive from Bowler, Wisconsin, with nine youths, to visit territory their ancestors were driven from nearly two centuries ago. It was the third year for the Youth Visitation Project, founded by Shawn Stephens through his organization, Red Road Reclamation.

Shawn Stephens:
Bringing them back to get in touch with our ancestral lands. We all grew up in Wisconsin, most of us never setting foot out here, especially in my generation. When I was younger, 99% of our people have never been out here. We are trying hard to help reclaim that identity, reclaim our culture, reclaim our languages, reclaim our children who are lost in the system.

Stewart Huntington:
Stephens too wanted to share something profound he experienced on his first visit to the homelands many years ago.

Shawn Stephens:
It just seemed very magical. When I came, it just felt like the ancestors were — you could feel them all around. Almost like, driving down the road, it’s almost like you could see them kind of peeking around the trees or something, watching us and happy that we were here. I couldn’t really…

From Homeland to New Land: A History of the Mahican Indians, 1600-1830 (University of Nebraska Press, 2013), is by William A. Starna, Professor Emeritus of Anthropology at the State University of New York College at Oneonta.

This history of the Mahicans begins with the appearance of Europeans on the Hudson River in 1609 and ends with the removal of these Native peoples to Wisconsin in the 1830s.

Marshaling the methods of history, ethnology, and archaeology, William A. Starna describes as comprehensively as the sources allow the Mahicans while in their Hudson and Housatonic Valley homeland; after their consolidation at the praying town of Stockbridge, Massachusetts; and following their move to Oneida country in central New York at the end of the American Revolution and their migration west.

The emphasis throughout this book is on describing and placing into historical context Mahican relations with surrounding Native groups: the Munsees of the lower Hudson; eastern Iroquoians; and the St. Lawrence and New England Algonquians. Starna also examines the Mahicans’ interactions with Dutch, English, and French interlopers.

The first and most transformative of these encounters was with the Dutch and the trade in furs, which ushered in culture change and the loss of Mahican lands. The Dutch presence, along with the new economy, worked to unsettle political alliances in the region that, while leading to new alignments, often engendered rivalries and war.

The result is an examination of the historical record that may become the definitive work on the Mahican people from the colonial period to the Removal Era.
