McHenry County Clerk Serving McHenry County Since 1837

Letter from the County Clerk:

One of the most memorable experiences I have had in my life was the day I was sworn in as County Clerk. I have been involved in public service for a number of years, first as a member of McHenry County State’s Attorney office and then as an Assistant Cook County State’s Attorney and also on the McHenry County Board. I have always found it rewarding to serve the entire county by providing friendly and helpful service to the citizens of McHenry Country.

It is a rare thing in politics to be proven right. During my election, I ran on the promise that i would update the County Clerk’s office without increasing the budget of this office. I have improved all aspects of the office with new software in the election department and in the delinquent tax department and all vital records.

By purchasing new software tax payers have saved thousands of dollars on expenses.

I have enjoyed fulfilling the responsibility that my constituents have placed in me.

Please feel free to contact me directly at memcclellan@co.mchenry.il.us with any questions I appreciate being your County Clerk, because it’s my job to make the process easier for the community

Mary E. McClellan, McHenry County Clerk

n behalf of the City and its residents, welcome to Woodstock, a growing, vibrant community with strong commitments to long-held historic, cultural, educational, healthy-living, and healthy-environment values.

Brian Sager, Ph.D. Mayor

First established in 1844, our City was called Centerville, referencing its central location in McHenry County and the fact it serves as the seat of our county government. In 1845, Centerville was renamed Woodstock and has celebrated significant recognition over the years, being named an All America City in 1964, a Certified City in 1987, a National Trust Distinctive Destination in 2007, and most recently, a Preserve America Community. The Woodstock Square is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and rests in the center of the City’s Historic District. Pillars of the district include the historic Woodstock Opera House, theatrical home of renowned performers Orson Welles, Paul Newman, Betsy Palmer, Tom Bosley, Shelley Berman, Lois Nettleton and Geraldine Page, and the Old Courthouse, today’s home of the Old Courthouse Arts Center and Public House Restaurant. Surrounding the Square are a number of beautifully restored Victorian homes, many of which have been plaqued by the Historic Preservation Commission in recognition of their significance to the City’s history and architectural diversity.

Woodstock is the centerpiece of the region’s visual and performing arts community with events promoted to a wide audience at www.realwoodstock.com. Each year there are more than 500 performances at the historic Woodstock Opera House. February 2nd marks Groundhog Day as the community waits for our own Woodstock Willie to make his prognostication. Wednesday nights during the months of June and July will find residents in the Park in the Square enjoying evening concerts performed by

the Woodstock City Band, a tradition for more than 130 consecutive years! Tuesdays and Saturdays from May through October find the Farmers’ Market, ranked number one in the State of Illinois and in the top ten nationwide, open for business. The Square is alive every weekend throughout the summer with arts and crafts shows, festivals, weddings, the annual Memorial Day Parade and welcome home celebrations for our returning service men and women. A day of shopping in Woodstock’s unique and inviting stores recalls memories of scenes and personalities associated with the Dick Tracy cartoon.

Chester Gould, creator and cartoonist of the famed police detective, lived in rural Woodstock for 50 years and based many of his characters and stories on local events, buildings, and people. A walk around the downtown area also provides the opportunity to stop at many locations identified by plaques as the site of important scenes in the movie Groundhog Day filmed in Woodstock in 1992, and still celebrated here annually. We know you’ll enjoy the Woodstock on Film and on the Stage Mural and Sculpture Garden, located next to Classic Cinemas Woodstock Theatre on Main Street, our residents’ creative tribute to this community’s cultural treasures.

Regardless of the reason for visiting the City, a day in Woodstock is nicely topped off by an evening of dining at any of the City’s many fine dining establishments. Square restaurants offer outdoor dining during the summer and cozy indoor fares in fall and winter. And, the Square in winter is simply not to be missed. Nothing is more spectacular than the traditional Lighting of the Square ceremony as trees and buildings become ablaze with light in preparation for the holidays. A winter evening is truly incomplete without a horse drawn carriage ride over the brick streets or a leisurely stroll under the magic of the winter lights.

Woodstock consistently demonstrates its commitment to quality education. Community Unit School District 200 offers two high schools, two middle schools, six elementary schools, the Verda Dierzen Early Learning Center, and Clay Academy. Currently, 1,900 students in the District are enrolled in their award-winning dual

language program, recognized by the Government of Spain as an International Spanish Academy, in which students receive instruction in all curricula in both English and Spanish. Additionally, Woodstock is home to St. Mary Catholic School and Marian Central Catholic High School. The community supports a state-of-the-art public library, complete with children’s center, reading room, internet access and community room. Just a few short miles from McHenry County College, Woodstock offers easy access to traditional college courses, as well as numerous adult education classes. The City is also home to the Challenger Learning Center. Dedicated as a memorial to the crew of the ill-fated Challenger space flight, the Center provides science exploration and team building programs for youth and adults alike. The site is owned and managed by the Woodstock Center of nationally known Aurora University, now offering an M.B.A. in Leadership, an M.S. in Nursing, and doctoral degrees in education with leadership emphasis in the areas of Adult and Higher Education, Curriculum and Instruction, and Educational Administration.

With nearly 550 acres of parkland and many more acres of open space, Woodstock demonstrates a strong commitment to maintaining its individual character and identity within a larger growing region.

Through partnerships with the McHenry County Conservation District, The Land Conservancy, and the Environmental Defenders of McHenry County, the City actively works to conserve and preserve precious natural resources. Thanks to the efforts of the Defenders and a strong collaboration with municipal and county governments, McHenry County was the first in the State of Illinois to mandate a curbside recycling program.

Environmental protection is truly a way of life in Woodstock.

And for those interested in sports and recreation, the City offers the Woodstock Water Works aquatic center; the Woodstock Recreation Center, with a full range of health and fitness equipment and programs; a 2.5 mile walking/running path in Emricson Park; and numerous soccer fields and ball diamonds throughout the City for both leagues and families to enjoy.

Our community also offers exceptional health care and senior living facilities. Mercy Woodstock Medical Center opened in 1999, offering comprehensive health care dedicated to broad-based healing, while Centegra Health System offers Emergency Room, rehab and behavioral health services. For over 125 years, Hearthstone Communities has provided quality senior living options and opportunities for senior citizens and their families with an emphasis on compassionate, familyoriented senior care.

As our City motto states, Woodstock is “True to its past and confident of its future.” Whether visiting for a day, a weekend, or living in Woodstock, we’re glad you’re here. Welcome to our home!

Brian Sager, Ph.D. Mayor

Township Government

T

ownship Government is older than 1776.

It originated in the mid-1600s, more than 100 years before our country became an independent nation.

Township government in Illinois dates back to 1787, when Congress established the Northwest Territory and designated counties and townships within the territories. When the second Illinois Constitution was adopted in 1848 it gave counties the option to include townships in their governmental structure.

A majority of Illinois counties chose the township system in a general election of 1849, among them being McHenry County, where the voters almost unanimously chose township government in a referendum in November of 1849.

A Township, as a political and geographic subdivision, is a municipal corporate body that can sue and be sued, own property, borrow money and levy taxes. The officials may act for the electorate in the Township’s name when conducting business.

• Continued from page 20 Townships have many duties and some permissive powers. Services expressly required of all townships include providing for welfare assistance, building and maintaining rural roads, assessment of property and preventing the spread of communicable disease. In addition to this, townships may establish libraries, medical clinics, museums, community buildings, public rest stations, mental health facilities and youth committees.

McHenry County is divided into 17 townships. There are generally eight elected officers in each township. These are the supervisor, clerk, assessor, highway commissioner and four trustees. The term of office for each position is four years. Terms are synchronous rather than staggered.

The annual meeting of the township electors is held the second Tuesday in April each year.

Hon. Steven Reick (R)

The Supervisor is the Chief Executive Officer of the township and is responsible for the township funds, serving as treasurer of all funds and records all transactions in an official book.

The Supervisor must file a statement of the financial status of the township with the township clerk. A summary of this report must be published annually.

One of the most important functions of the Supervisor is in the area of General Assistance. The Supervisor of General Assistance gives aid to the needy. Money used for this purpose is raised by local taxes and non-State receiving units, which applies to most of the 1,400 plus townships in Illinois. The money thus raised is used to provide food, shelter, utilities, medical care and burial whenever necessary.

Woodstock Tourism

What To Do When You Get Here

The picturesque community of Woodstock is alive with a bountiful array of events and attractions that make the city a prime tourist attraction and thrilling place to live.

GROUNDHOG DAY In 1991 director Harold Ramis chose Woodstock as the location for shooting the comedy classic film “Groundhog Day”.

It has made Woodstock an endless point of interest, bringing visitors from all over the world. The Woodstock Public Library and City Hall have information and exhibits on the filming of the movie plus there are numerous placards marking significant filming locations throughout downtown Woodstock. You can even book a room at the house from the movie, now known as The Cherry Tree Inn Bed & Breakfast.

In addition, Woodstock is host to the annual Groundhog Day Festival that pays homage to the film and includes a walking tour of sites in the movie, as well as the groundhog’s prediction for when winter will end.

DICK TRACY Chester Gould, who created the Dick Tracy comic strip which ran 1931 to 1977, lived in rural Woodstock for 50 years. The Dick Tracy comic strip originally premiered in the Detroit Mirror, then in the New York Daily News, followed by the Chicago Tribune, and then on to nationwide syndication, and eventually to international audiences. The crime fighting adventures of Gould’s Dick Tracy character were so popular that the comic strip appeared on the front page of the New York Daily News for 45 consecutive years, and it was seen in 27 foreign papers.

EVENTS & ATTRACTIONS The month of August sizzles with family-friendly events like The Wizarding World of Woodstock, a spectacular car show, the renowned Midwest Mozart Festival and concerts in the park. The Sunset Woodstock Art Tour features local artisans at work in the homes. Also in August, the eagerly anticipated McHenry County Fair fills Woodstock with rides, games, and foods for every 24

taste. In September, The Autumn Art Tour features local artisans at work in their homes while Harvest Fest celebrates Bluegrass music, with old time crafters and blacksmiths, antique tractors and hand made crafts from across the Midwest at the Fair in the Square. The Mexican Independence Day Celebration, Annual Food Truck Festival on the Square and, of course, Apple Picking in one of the many local Orchards make September a popular month to visit Woodstock. October brings Autumn Drive, a scenic tour of rural arts, crafts, and harvest happenings.

Of course these are just a sampling of the year-round offerings of fun activities celebrating Woodstock’s unique charm. Among other popular events hosted by Woodstock are the Fair Diddley Craft Show in May, Farmer’s Market running May through October, the Woodstock Folk festival and Summer in the Park in July, year-round exhibitions at the Old Courthouse Arts Center, and the ever popular Lighting of the Square in late November that kicks off the holiday season.

Small Business Saturday, Ladies Nite Out on the Square, Carriage Rides and Santa’s Hut in the Park on the Square make the Holiday Season in Woodstock magical.

In 2017 a group of community volunteers raised funds privately to produce a stunning creative tribute to Woodstock’s cultural legends. The Woodstock Film and in the Stage Mural and Sculpture Garden, located next to Classic Cinemas Woodstock Theatre in the Main Street Pedway, features beautifully-designed handpainted images of Chester Gould/Dick Tracy, Stars of the Opera House, Orson Welles, and Ground Hog Day, along with detailed information on their contributions to our community’s past.

oodstock is the seat of government for McHenry County and Woodstock’s Historic Square is the site of the original Old McHenry County Courthouse, built in 1857, and Sheriff’s House & Jail, added in 1887. These buildings, listed on the National Register of Historic Places and now owned by the City of Woodstock, represent significant historic properties. Designed

by Chicago’s premier architect, John Mills Van Osdel, the Old Courthouse is one of the few pre-Civil War

26

Courthouses left standing in Illinois today; the Sheriff’s House & Jail lodged Pullman Strike labor leader Eugene Debs for a period of six months.; Although sections of the buildings are currently inaccessible, for the past 25 years the Courthouse has hosted yearround fine art exhibitions as the Old Courthouse Arts Center, and also offers a popular restaurant on the ground floor enjoyed by both residents and tourists.

The City has begun essential repairs and restoration of these buildings to ensure maximum public enjoyment once more. Estimates to restore the buildings to their former glory are upwards of $5 million. An appointed Old Courthouse and Sheriff’s House Advisory Commission, and the community volunteer group Friends of the Old Courthouse, actively seek funding partners to accelerate building renovations and allow beneficial re-use by the public.

Histroic Downtown Square

Today the Opera House remains the cultural entertainment center of Woodstock. Plays, concerts, and performances are scheduled at the Opera House throughout the year, including the Midwest Woodstock Mozart Festival held each summer. Performance schedules are available at the ticket office in the Opera House lobby.

L

isted in the National Register of Historic Places, the historic Woodstock Square is the perfect venue for a leisurely day of shopping Woodstock’s unique stores situated along brick streets amidst the quaint charm of 19th century architecture. Afterwards enjoy an evening of fine dining and live entertainment. Round out your Woodstock adventure by spending the night at one of the city’s quaint bed and breakfasts or more formal hotel environments.

Historic Structures Two historic structures dominate the Woodstock Square — the Woodstock Opera House and the Old Courthouse & Sheriff’s House complex. The Romanesque-style Opera House was erected in 1889 and once served as the city hall, library, and fire department.

Performers who spent their early years on the Opera House stage include Orson Welles and Paul Newman.

28

The Old Courthouse, a simple Italianate structure built in 1857 under the design of famed architect John Mills Van Osdel, is similar to the Cook County Courthouse of 1853 that was destroyed in the Great Chicago Fire. The Sheriff’s House and Jail were constructed in 1887. In 1894, Eugene Debs (union leader and Socialist Party Presidential candidate) was held there for refusing to comply with a court injunction related to the Pullman strike. The building served as the McHenry County government offices until the early 1970s when the county moved to a new, larger facility.

Events and Festivals Throughout the year, the historic Woodstock Square is host to many events, festivals, and fairs. Events on the Square include Fair Diddley in May (featuring over 300 crafter’s booths), summer band concerts, the Farmer’s Market from May through October, Woodstock Folk Festival in July, the Wizarding World of Woodstock, Annual Car Show and the Midwest Mozart Festival in August, Harvest Fest in September that features a • Continued on page 30

Education

Woodstock High Scho ol

Where We Learn Woodstock Community Unit School District 200

W

oodstock School District 200 serves approximately 6,700 students in grades PreK-12 who live in the communities of Woodstock, Bull Valley, Greenwood, the west side of Wonder Lake, and unincorporated McHenry County. The school district was formed in 1969 when two elementary districts and one high school district consolidated, but education in Woodstock actually dates back to 1847. Today our schools offer a strong standards-based educational program that is based on best practices and innovation but that is also rooted in the rich traditions of our 150year old community.

District 200 currently operates 12 schools: the Verda Dierzen Early Learning Center where all of the community’s youngest children begin their education; six elementary schools serving students in grades 1-5; two middle schools for students in grades 6-8; two comprehensive high schools; and the Clay Academy, a therapeutic day school for students in grades 3-12 with special needs.

A 2006 referendum allowed the school district to complete $105 million in school construction which included new elementary, middle and high school buildings, an addition to the early learning center, and the remodeling and conversion of a former middle school to an elementary school.

District 200 provides a wide variety of programs to help every child to succeed. Early childhood education, dual language, bilingual and gifted programs, Advanced Placement classes, career and technical training, and special needs programs strengthen the general education curriculum. A districtwide focus on reading, writing and mathematics combined with the use of technology as a learning tool help prepare all students for success in and outside of the classroom.

Woodstock students excel at the state and national levels in both academics and extracurricular activities.

Woodstock High School students perform very well on ACT and Advanced Placement tests, and our graduates attend some of the top colleges and universities in

38

the nation. Elementary and middle school students consistently score above the state average on standardized achievement tests. The Verda Dierzen Early Learning Center is a recognized model for early childhood education.

Outside of the classroom, District 200 provides an extensive selection of athletic, fine arts, enrichment and extra-curricular programs. Students regularly excel at the state level in a variety of competitions, including music, mathematics, graphic arts and athletic events.

The Special Education District of McHenry County SEDOM Dr. Tim Burns, Executive Director 1200 Claussen Drive, Woodstock, IL 60098 (815) 338-3622 SEDOM works closely with the school districts of McHenry County, to assure that appropriate programs and services are available for all students (ages 3 - 21) with special learning needs. SEDOM’S main offices are located in Woodstock, while most services are provided in the student’s home district.

Hispanic Connections

E

s un hnor y privilegio, y un gran paso adelante para la comunidad Hispana de Woodstock contar con el apoyo completo de la Cámara de Comercio de la ciudad de Woodstock y tener est sección dedicada a nuestra cultura Latina. Un año atrás nació la idea de formar un grupo de negocios y líderes latinos en la región del condado de McHenry, para promover y apoyar los negocios y actividades entre los miembros del grupo. Parte de la misión del grupo es crecer la integración, presencia y participación de la comunidad hispana en la región, con el fin de promover actividades y proyectos que beneficien a toda la comunidad latina de la ciudad de Woodstock y la región del condado de McHenry.

El 2017, ha sido un añolleno de trabajo en equipo y grades logros. Tuvimos participación en muchas actividades y eventos en la comunidade, entre muchas, tuvimos una celebración especial para el día de la independencia de México con una gran fiesta para las

familias Latinas, le brindamos a la ciudadanía información gratuita sobre inmigración, participamos en las actividades de Verano en el Parque, y así mismo en el increíble evento Wizarding World of Woodstock.

Nuestras metas para el año entrante además de continuar y crecer nuestra participación en estos eventos, es poder tener unas candidatas representándonos en el evento Señorita y Niña Woodstock 2018.Otra de nuestras metas es tener más eventos sociales y platicase informativas que beneficien y unan a todos los hispanos de la región.

Búscanos en Facebook “HISPANIC CONNECTIONS WOODSTOCK,” dale like y síguenos. Con to apoyo podremos llegar muy lejos y crecer juntos.
