RECOGNIZE PERSONS PRESENT
Mary Camacho stated that this year marks 90 years of Hispanic presence in Elgin, and her family
has been in Elgin for 80 years. She requested that the City Council consider giving recognition
to the Pompa Extended Family for its positive contributions to the City of Elgin and surrounding
communities. She listed some of the many contributions made by the Pompa Extended Family
which includes the Camacho Families, the Flores Families, the Patino Families, the Vasquez and
Rivera Families. Ms. Camacho also invited everyone to the Hispanic Heritage Parade which
starts at noon this Saturday followed by Fiesta Salsa at the corner of Grove Avenue and Kimball
Street.
Don Transue stated that he grew up in Elgin. Some years ago it was fashionable to ban guns,
and he believes people lied about the benefit of gun control. The places that have banned guns
are the same places which ban smoking. Today there are lies about second hand smoke. He
believes one of the lies is that children die of second-hand smoke, and he said no child has ever
died of second-hand smoke. He stated that he is not a smoker but loves freedom.

Margaret Miller stated that her problem is not with the Hispanic community but with illegal
Hispanics. Something needs to be done quickly because the November election is only two
months away. However, she doesn’t believe anything will be done.
Judy Robnett stated that one of the local newspapers reported that serious crime has declined in
Elgin. However, in her neighborhood there have been four drive-by shootings in the last four
years. The previous 15 years there were none. More needs to be done to make criminals feel
unwelcome in Elgin. She requested that something be done to stop the drive-by shootings in
Elgin.
Matt Kenneally of the Elgin Fire Department introduced Drew Soule, Good Will Ambassador for
the State of Illinois Muscular Dystrophy Association. Drew thanked the Elgin Firefighters Local
439 for its record-breaking year of collecting $24,003 during the “Fill the Boot” fundraising
program. The Elgin Firefighters group is Number One in its district. He thanked the City of
Elgin for allowing the firefighters to collect donations on the street corners, because some cities
don’t permit it. April Samonski, program coordinator for the Muscular Dystrophy Association,
presented a plaque to the Elgin City Council for its continued support of the “Fill the Boot”
program. By allowing the firefighters to collect on the streets of Elgin, over $100,000 has been
collected during the past seven years. Mayor Schock thanked Drew and April for being here
tonight and stated that the Elgin City Council is proud of the fact that the Elgin Firefighters
group is a leader in collecting funds for this worthy cause.
Doug Heaton read a list entitled “10 Clues Why Your Immigration Enforcement May Not Be As
Effective As You Think”. He further stated that hundreds of illegal aliens are staging protests
without fear of their fugitive status. There are criminal illegal aliens released back into the
community on low bail, only to disappear. He asked that letters be written to Washington, D. C.,
regarding this issue.
