Artist finds inspiration

McHenry County Conservation District invites you to view a special exhibit, “Observations: Walking in Wonder” by Barbara Schneider, on display now through July 4 at Lost Valley Visitor Center in Glacial Park, Route 31 and Harts Road, Ringwood.This exhibit is free and is open to the public daily, 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Local artist Barbara Schneider uses nature as the starting point for creating abstract, sophisticated interpretations in mixed media. Her work is meant to make you view nature with new eyes and provide the opportunity for physical, mental, or emotional reflection. She walked many of the conservation district sites and recorded what she saw, heard, smelled and experienced. She used these observations to create hand-stitched textile maps that serve as a record of her natural journey. “It was a wonderful experience to see both the large sweeps of prairies and woods but also the smaller more intimate treasures that sites have to offer. When I look at the artwork and read the accompanying text, I am transported back to the walk itself. I hope viewers will enjoy the art for the art’s sake and then be enticed to go walk one of the many beautiful conservation sites in McHenry County.” Schneider began quilting in 1996, and discovered the pleasure of working with cloth, paint, dye and thread. Her interest in the Japanese concept of Wabi-Sabi strongly influences her work. She teaches as well as exhibits nationally and internationally.

Her work is in both private and public collections. For more information contact the Lost Valley Visitor Center at 815-678-4532 or visit MCCDistrict.org. Pictured are Schneider installing her work for the exhibit, and her piece called Kishwaukee Headwaters.

Patients will soon receive care in newly constructed medical-surgical and medical-surgical observation units at Northwestern Medicine McHenry Hospital. The modernized units are part of the health system’s plan to transform the hospital and create an all-private-room environment to better meet the needs of patients in McHenry County.

The new medical-surgical units feature private rooms, additional windows to bring in natural light, dimmable LED lighting and bathrooms that were designed for the comfort and safety of patients and visitors. New team stations will reduce noise and make it easier for physicians and nurses to collaborate with other hospital colleagues. In the medical-surgical observation unit, which provides 23-hour care for patients who do not require inpatient admission, patient rooms were upgraded to enhance privacy and relaxation.

“Patients and families will immediately notice how we’ve changed the space to enhance our healing environment,” said Nick Rave, president of Northwestern Medicine McHenry Hospital. “The improvements go beyond what you can immediately see. We also upgraded systems and technologies to support innovative treatments and leading-edge care.”

The hospital investments, which cost $6.2 million, demonstrate Northwestern Medicine’s commitment to enhancing the services available to people in greater McHenry County, Rave said.

“What began as a project to modernize our hospital units took on new meaning with the pandemic,” Rave said. “We pushed ahead with the project despite COVID-19 to provide

patients a safer environment where we can do even more to prevent the spread of infection.”

With a focus on financial stewardship, leaders at Northwestern Medicine McHenry Hospital budgeted more than $6 million more to privatize and modernize additional patient rooms in the next six months. In the next several years, the team plans to update the surgery department and public areas to further enhance the patient experience.

“Our patients come first when we consider our future projects,” Rave said. “We need to carefully schedule construction to avoid interrupting the care of our current patients while we create the environment we want to offer our future patients. Our construction and clinical teams have partnered to make this modernization project work for everyone involved.”

Physicians and hospital staff members were included in the design of the new units and re-

cently took part in simulations to prepare for move-in days the third week of May. During those simulations, team members walked through patient care situations to familiarize themselves with the new unit layouts and technologies.

“We are delighted to welcome patients into a modern environment that reflects the advanced care Northwestern Medicine provides,” Rave said.

“It is just one part of our plans to revolutionize how patients in our community receive care.”

took third place at the Boone County Art Show. She held high honors, graduating with a 3.8 GPA. She received the Regents Academic Scholarship, Concordia Leadership Scholarship, and the College Board Opportunity Scholarship.

Meghan also participated as a Northway mentor, started her own business “Meg’s Vintage 111” and sells things at the Rockford City Market. She worked at Edwards Apple Orchard, Old Navy, DSW and as a pet-sitter.

She plans to continue my academic and athletic career at Concordia University. She will be on the stunt and cheerleading team.

Coach Tam said, “I’m so sorry I cannot be with you today– we are traveling to Indianapolis for my mom’s funeral–but I am with you in spirit. I asked Cyndi or Lacee to read this to you.

“I am so incredibly proud of the beautiful, artistic, empathetic young lady you have become.

I’m maybe most proud of your indelible spirit and willingness to try something new.

“Your stunt team is going to be lucky to have you and together these could become life-long friends. The way you look at the world is so refreshing and your open-mindedness is to be commended. Never lose that sense of wonder and fearlessness of the unknown.

“We can’t wait to come watch you perform. Don’t forget to send us a photo in uniform so you can be on the collegiate wall.

“Congratulations on your success and we look forward to seeing what mountains you will move in the future.”

Cheer Coach Lacee Sattelberg said, “I am beyond excited for you and your new adventure next year. Although I was sad that I didn’t get to spend your senior year with you, I am grateful

for the time we spent together last year.

“Meghan, you are such a positive energy and presence on a team. It has been a joy coaching you and watching you grow into a beautiful young adult. Not only are you a wonderful role model, but you are an incredible friend. Concordia is lucky to have you.

“I am so thankful for the time you spent with our program at North. We will truly miss you next year. We hope you will come back to visit us and share all of the new cheer knowledge you have learned.

“Congratulations, I can’t wait to see you in action.”

Coach Cyndi said, “It has been an absolute pleasure to coach you. I cannot think of a better young lady to join a new program at a university, Thank you for letting me coach you. I wish you the most success you can get at a university.”

Meghan’s mom said, “I had the opportunity to coach the Thunder Youth program and I did so to show my kids about being a part of something and giving back to the community.

Then I became ill. When you don’t know what to do, just stay the course and keep going.

“When COVID-19 hit, Meghan really missed her cheer family. She checked college programs out but I didn’t see a sparkle in her eyes about any of them.

“The Concordia coach found Meghan on social media. A Zoom call helped the coach piece together everything Meghan has done since age two.

After their talk, I saw the sparkle again. We are so proud of her and so excited.”

Meghan will be a trailblazer as a member of the first stunt team in Illinois. She is also the first BNHS graduate to be a member of a collegiate stunt team.”

Nine agencies respond to fire At 2:40 p.m. on Tuesday, May 11, the Belvidere Fire Department responded for smoke showing in the 1100 block of S. State Street. Response time was two minutes.

On scene, command reported a two-story residential home with smoke showing from the second floor. Firefighters had the fire under control within five minutes and a search of the building revealed no one

Five years ago Joe Hamblock, general manager of Manley’s Belvidere Ford, had an idea to give bicycles to children who could not afford to buy one. The first BuildA-Bike event gave away 50 bicycles and local sponsors who wanted to join in gave away helmets, locks and bike accessories.

The Belvidere Police Department offered a bicycle safety course and Officer Tim Blankenship took the kids through with their brand-new bicycles to ensure they could ride safely in their own neighborhood. Volunteers in Police Service (VIPS) cooked hamburgers for everyone and the Belvidere Fire Department brought out their engine and let the kids explore.

Each year since then, the event has grown and the idea to help the kids of Belvidere has developed into an entire association to keep the event organized. The pandemic caused Build-A-Bike to pare down a bit but they are still adamant about giving bicycles to kids who need them. They did so on Wednesday, May 12.

“This is our fifth year and we have given close to 500 bicycles to kids,” said Hamblock. “We are

giving away 110 bicycles this year alone. Running a charity during a pandemic is challenging. We put together a plan and ran it past the health department and it has turned into a really cool event.

“I want to shout out to Jen Jacky of the YMCA and Karen Manley Kahler of Manley Motors. They did a great job organizing everything.”

“It’s awesome to think that 500 kids that would not have had a bike now have one,” said Karen Manley Kahler. “Jen Jacky of the YMCA was integral to the project since she coordinated with the schools to find the kids who could use bicycles.

We did have to scale back a little due to the pandemic, but Doug Proudfoot, American Family Insurance, has goody bags for the kids.

“Lots of people donated for the kids. General Mills donated helmets and Don Banks, Executive Vice-President of Byron Bank provided locks. Maureen Koteles of the Belvidere McDonald’s donated front and back lights for the bicycles and Matt Branom is offering a VIP tent. Josh Sternquist from the Belvidere High School supplied us with a lot of high school kids to help. Adam Reardon of Redemption Church provides us with a

sound system.”

Kye and Bekah, comfort dogs from Immanuel Lutheran Church, greeted the kids after they signed in to the event.

Blankenship, Deputy Chief Matt Wallace and Chief Shane Woody of the Belvidere Police Department provided ice cream bars from DFA (Dean Foods) as the grinning kids and happy parents prepared to head home.

“We are delighted to have been a part of this event since its inception,” said Wallace. It is a great program to help underprivileged children in the Belvidere community.”

“This event is fantastic,” said Proudfoot. “It’s great for the kids and puts a smile on their faces. It’s just outstanding that area businesses come together to support the community.”

“We are very lucky to have a community that gets behind events like this and supports us,” said Jen Jacky of the Belvidere Family YMCA. “It’s awesome.”

Sponsors could choose to build the bike for the child that will be receiving it, or Build-A-Bike would build it for you. Also, for those who were unable attend the event, Build-A-Bike presented the bike for them.

Boone County Gardeners hold flower and plant fundraiser

By Anne Eickstadt EDITOR

“Our club started in 1955,” said past president Dick Masanz. “To unify the Belvidere community. We planted many trees along Logan Avenue. We have held annual flower sales since the 1960s, plant and maintain 23 urns in Belvidere, and do projects at the conservation district and the fairgrounds.

“Selling cocoa mulch is our biggest fundraiser, helping to

fund our projects and award two scholarships to applicants in Educational District 100 and 200. We sell the mulch every Saturday in May and on call throughout the year.

“We are always looking for new members. We hold meetings April through November, on the fourth Tuesday of the month at 2:30 p.m. at the Boone County Fairgrounds. We also hold a family picnic in August.”

“If you are interested in

gardening (not professional), want to share information and beautify the community, you can join our club,” said John Majernik, the club’s newsletter editor. “We do not have any specific requirements. Dues are $10 per individual or $15 per family.”

History of the Boone County Gardeners of America On May 18, 1955, members from the Rockford, Dixon and

Loves Park garden clubs met at the Belvidere YMCA with 12 Belvidere men and organized the Belvidere Men’s Garden Club (BMGC). They decided to hold monthly meetings at the homes of the members until a permanent place for meetings could be found.

Scotty Wainscott hosted the June meeting and Bert Wrate hosted the July meeting, at which time the by-laws were adopted, officers were elected

and committees were formed.

The charter recognizing the club as an official affiliate of the Men’s Garden Clubs of America was presented to the club on Aug. 23, 1955. It was presented

by Lee Fetzer of the Rockford Men’s Garden Club who was instrumental in helping to organize the Belvidere club. By the time President Owen M. Johnson hosted the September meeting the membership had grown to 48.

The club’s first community project was bulb planting in two beds on Logan Avenue at Main Street. In 1957 the BMGC sponsored its first flower show in conjunction with the Boone County Fair. In the spring of 1961 the club planted crabapple trees along Logan Avenue as a joint project with the Lions and Jaycees.

notebooks, the rough draft for finished surveys, are consulted when trying to find original boundaries or long neglected features on the McHenry County landscape.

Because of their age and demand in research, the survey notebooks require professional conservation. Once adopted and stabilized, each survey notebook will be made available in the research library for public use.

In 1906, John took over operations of the Buffalo House from his brother, Michael. John and his wife, Lena, operated the tavern until 1911–when it was sold to a younger brother, Matt.

According to a family history, Matt suffered a heart attack while visiting St. Anne’s Hospital for a checkup. At age 99, it seemed a sensible precaution before riding in a parade commemorating the city of McHenry’s founding in 1836.

“Some say that perhaps because he could not have his daily cigarettes and schnapps during the examinations, it was too much of a shock to his system,” nephew Robert Worts wrote in a 1988 family history.

In the late 1920s, Otto Broecker purchased the Buffalo House and renamed the tavern the “Lily Lake Hotel.” It was a popular spot for Chicago fishermen and hunters to stay. After passing through the hands of various owners, Floyd and Mary Lee purchased the property and made extensive changes in the building, which later became the Lakeside Inn. The building was torn down in the late 1990s.

The Buffalo House Tavern is long gone, but its memory lives on in a 6-by-15-inch business ledger. The ledger dates from the early 1900s and kept track of the tavern’s patron’s drink bills.

The “Buffalo House” in Lily Lake was opened Michael L. Worts as a combination tavern and hotel in 1901. The decision to build a tavern hotel on the east shore of Lily Lake was a wise one since the main wagon route between Chicago and Lake Geneva, Wis. followed today’s Darrell Road and Route 120 west through McHenry.

On top of that, Lily Lake was a destination for fishermen in the 1890s.

His parents, Theodore and Katherina (Schneider) Worts, owned land that encompassed Lily Lake.

In 1897 Michael Worts married Katherine Boley, a daughter of Gottlieb and Josephine Boley. Gottlieb Boley owned the McHenry Brewery which produced a beer called “Buffalo.” Having married into the Boley family, Michael made a point of selling only “Buffalo Beer” at his new roadhouse; the reason why the establishment was called the “Buffalo House.”

In the pre-computer age, meticulous (or in this case less than meticulous) records were kept in ledgers. The Buffalo House logged everything from patrons’ liquor and tobacco purchases to supplies such as pork, apples and “cornstocks.”

There are even handwritten accounts of hours worked.

The McHenry County Historical Society is launching a conservation initiative that encourages the public to “adopt” a historic McHenry County book held within its collection.

For example, $600 is needed to mend torn pages and reattach the front and back covers to the Buffalo House ledger.

— PUBLISHED WEEKLY —

As the fruit and vegetable growing season begins, University of Illinois Extension McHenry County master gardeners are finding ways to volunteer “virtually” and donate food from their home gardens to fight food insecurity issues in McHenry County.

The mission of the program, called “Growing for Good,” allows the 143 extension master gardener volunteers to grow vegetables and fruits from their home gardens so that they may donate them to their local food pantries this season.

“The ‘Growing for Good’ program involves our statewide commitment to working on food insecurity issues as well as our horticulture education mission,” said Brenda Dahlfors, program coordinator for the McHenry County Extension Master Gardeners. “In short, extension master gardeners in this program would be required to fill out an application that identifies what and how much they plan to grow (for example, three tomato plants and a 3-foot row of green beans). They must also designate which food pantry they will be donating to.”

Dahlfors added that EMG volunteers can claim up to two hours per week of volunteer time for planting, weeding, har-

vesting, watering and traveling when they drop off their donations.

When extension master gardeners donate their fresh homegrown produce, they record the poundage onto a tracking website within the program.

Last season, in 2020, statewide extension master gardeners donated more than 4,600 pounds through this project–McHenry County was responsible for 729 of those pounds.

“We hope to donate even more this year,” Dahlfors said.

The “Growing for Good” program also provides extension master gardeners with volunteer opportunities while still complying with governmental and

university COVID-19 policies.

“So it’s a win-win situation,” Dahlfors added. “Extension master gardeners get to continue their service to the community, and they can help reduce food insecurity within their hometowns.”

For more information, email Dahlfors at dahlfors@illinois. edu or call the U of I Extension McHenry County office at 815338-3737.

Bucs athlete to play for Saint Xavier

By Anne Eickstadt

EDITOR

Meadow Cox of Belvidere High School will be going on to play volleyball for Saint Xavier University in Chicago.

Meadow signed a Letter of Intent with the university on Wednesday, April 28, in the gym lobby outside the Melvin L. Brown Gymnasium.

Meadow has been playing volleyball since the age of three. She has been honing her skills playing club volleyball at Fusion Sports Center, 11104 S. Grant Hwy., Marengo, and Aggression Volleyball Club, 357 N. California St., Sycamore, since third grade.

Meadow is the volleyball team captain at Belvidere High School, is on the honor roll and is a Scholar-Athlete.

She works at Smokin’ Coop and volunteers with B Club, Silver Birch Ranch, Feed My Starving Children, Night to Remember, Youth Volleyball Camps and Haunted Hallway.

“Meadow is definitely a scholar-athlete that we are going to miss,” said Josh Sternquist, assistant principal and athletic director at Belvidere

Meadow Cox of Belvidere High School signs her Letter of Intent to play volleyball for Saint Xavier University in Chicago.

High School. “It is not easy being a college athlete. Only one percent of athletes make that milestone. It’s a huge milestone, making Meadow one in a million. Once a Buc, always a Buc!” Coach Storm Jackson, head girls volleyball coach, said, “It is an honor to be with you as you sign your Letter of Intent. Belvidere High School

has been lucky to have you in this program. Your senior year was not what you expected with games being cancelled due to the pandemic, but you continued to have a positive attitude and sense of humor, and developed stronger friendships.

Meadow thanked her parents for supporting her in getting her to tournaments

and games and always finding a way to cheer her up.

She thanked family members, teammates, coaches and the BHS program for helping to make her “the best version of myself I can be.”

Meadow will be bringing Buc Pride to Saint Xavier University as she goes on to play college volleyball.
