Woodstock police officers will begin carrying an emergency antidote for opioid overdoses before the end of the year, Police Chief John Lieb said.

Each of the Woodstock Police Department’s sworn officers soon will be issued naloxone, also known by its trade name, Narcan. e nasal spray temporarily blocks opioid receptors in the brain and nervous system, counteracting the effects of an overdose of heroin, fentanyl or other opioids.

Education Sept. 27. e district has budgeted $95.2 million in expenditures and $96.1 million in revenues for its 2016-17 budget cycle. is is the ďŹ rst time in at least three years that district ofďŹ cials are budgeting for a surplus.

According to the new budget, the district’s expenditures will increase by about $2.9 million over last year while its revenues will rise by about $2.1 million.

Despite those increases, the budget is lower than the previous ďŹ scal year when comparing budgeted expenses and revenues rather than the district’s actuals. By that measure, the new budget represents a decrease of about $2.1 million in expenditures, while revenues will dip by about $876,000.

District 200’s costs and proceeds both were under budget when the last ďŹ scal year ended June 30. e budget does not include the transfer of money between the district’s separate operating funds. Such transfers, which the district used most recently during the last ďŹ scal year, have attracted criticism and threats of lawsuits from residents

Bryan Palmer competes in the running portion of Ironman Wisconsin Sept. 11 in Madison, Wis.

Oct. 5-11, 2016

Bryan Palmer, a 1999 Woodstock High School graduate, made his own motivation to start training for triathlons by challenging himself to do something practically unattainable. “My initial motivation was proving to myself that I could do something that seemed impossible. I could barely swim 50 yards when I began training, and now a 2-mile swim is a typical training day,� said Palmer, who trains with a team based in Madison, Wis., where he lives.

Triathletes compete in three areas during a single competition: swimming, cycling and running. ere are a number of governing bodies that host and oversee triathlon events, but Palmer has been competing with what is probably the most familiar triathlon organization in the world, the Ironman.

Ironman hosts two types of races: the full Ironman and Ironman 70.3, the latter named after the total distance of the race (a 1.2-mile swim, a 56-mile bike ride and a 13.1-mile run). is is exactly half of an Ironman race.

Ironman races also include a cutoff

time to ďŹ nish, in most cases 17 hours. e extreme distances and tight time limit are what make these races both challenging and attractive to competitors like Palmer.

While training for a marathon can often be accomplished by runners in their free time, training for a triathlon can feel more like a second job. In the case of Palmer, who works in architectural lighting, a typical training week includes up to two hours of training per weekday, more than two hours on Saturdays and up to six hours on Sundays.

He has a sponsorship through Endurance House, a triathlon and running store.

Palmer was one of 2,200 to ďŹ nish the Sept. 11 Ironman Wisconsin in Madison, which had more than 3,000 registered participants. Despite having struggled with severe back pain for the last training season, he persevered through training and reminded himself of the signiďŹ cance of the race date. “[ e race was] a way of remembering how bad [Sept. 11, 2001] was for so many people,â€? said Palmer. “To remember those that gave their lives that day, and countless days afterward

ďŹ ghting in our military. I used that as my motivation on race day to keep pushing forward as well.â€?

His long-term goals include qualifying for the Ironman World

Championship hosted in Hawaii. For 2017, Palmer is planning on competing in up to four half Ironman events, and will also be cheering for his girlfriend as she enters her ďŹ rst Ironman.

who claim the district overtaxed property owners and then moved excess revenues from the uncapped transportation fund in order to circumvent tax caps on other funds.

District ofďŹ cials dispute that claim. Such transfers are legal under state law if they are made to cover one-time, nonrecurring expenses; although transfers typically cannot be used to cover recurring costs, state legislators have repeatedly approved measures allowing districts to make interfund transfers for any purpose.

Risa Hanson, District 200â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief ďŹ nancial ofďŹ cer, said the decision not to transfer money between funds was based on increased payments from SpringďŹ eld, not residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; complaints or a concern about lawsuits. â&#x20AC;&#x153; e General State Aid is being fully funded this year, for the ďŹ rst time in several years, and so we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to do an interfund transfer,â&#x20AC;?

LAWSUIT (Continued from page 1)

of October. “ e more voices we have shouting in unison at the school board that we don’t want you doing this anymore, the better chance we have,” Handelsman said.

District officials declined to comment on the pending litigation.

School districts levy different amounts for each of their funds, some of which are bound to tax rate maximums. e plaintiffs are expected to allege District 200 in recent years overtaxed residents for its uncapped transportation fund with the intention of transferring that money to its educational and operations and maintenance funds, both of which are subject to tax caps. e suit also will take issue with the district’s levy for

its special education fund, Handelsman said.

In the two previous budget years, the district has transferred a combined total of about $2.3 million from the transportation fund to the educational and operations and maintenance funds.

District officials have repeatedly stated those interfund transfers are legal and point to a law passed by the Illinois legislature that allows districts to make such transfers — which otherwise are restricted to use for one-time, nonrecurring expenses — through June 30, 2019. e lawsuit will contend the school district has accumulated an unjustifiable amount in its transportation fund in recent years, Handelsman said, something known as excess accumulation.

According to school district documents, District 200’s ending balance for its transportation fund grew from

$1.3 to $4.5 million from the 2012-13 to 2015-16 fiscal years. e 2016-17 budget anticipates that fund balance rising again, to $6.3 million. is year’s budget, approved Sept.

27, does not include any interfund transfers, nor does it project making any transfers from the transportation fund through at least the 201920 budget cycle.

If the plaintiffs win, they’re likely to be refunded several hundred dollars after legal fees, depending on their tax bills, Handelsman said. Dwyer, who has taken the case on contingency, secured a settlement in 2015 with Harrison School District 36 to refund about $123,000 to about 130 taxpayers after bringing a similar lawsuit against the Wonder Lake school district.

Handelsman said she is wary of filing suit against District 200, calling it a “bad idea when lawyers get involved,” but said she believes legal action is necessary to cut down on residents’ property tax bills.

As for tax dollars being spent to pay for the district’s legal fees, Handelsman said she hopes school officials decide to forgo a trial. “ e school district shouldn’t spend a dime of our money fighting this,” Handelsman said. “ ey should issue the settlement and stop doing it.”

before other emergency workers arrive, Lieb said.

“It’s a speed thing in order to save a life,” he said.

Illinois’ Good Samaritan law says a person typically cannot be prosecuted for minor drug law violations if police are called to help at the scene of an overdose, and so the police department’s role in responding to those calls is to render aid, not make arrests.

Deaths from drug overdoses have climbed in McHenry County over the past few years, according to Laura Crain, drug-free program coordinator for the McHenry County Substance Abuse Coalition. From 2014 to 2015, overdose deaths rose from 32 to 43 countywide, she said. Most of those deaths — 21 and 38, respectively — were attributed to opioids, including heroin, synthetic opioids and prescription drugs.

At the midpoint of 2016, Crain said the McHenry County Coroner’s Office already had counted 33 overdose deaths, 30 of which were determined to be opioid-related. “ e reality is, naloxone is like a [defibrillator],” Crain said. “It’s a shortterm answer. It affects you in a way that you have 15 to 30 minutes [to get someone to a hospital].”

Two Woodstock officers already have received training about how to recognize overdoses and administer naloxone through a program coordinated by Centegra Health System. ey will train other officers in the department.

Officer Joshua Rapacz is one of the WPD’s naloxone trainers.

“I don’t know if the public understands that it’s in their neighborhoods, not just heroin, but prescription pills,” Rapacz said. “… It’s a major problem, and I think that people don’t realize it could happen to them.”

Crain agreed, citing people who accidentally overdose on medication which they had been legally prescribed.

“We’re not just talking about a heroin addict. We’re talking about, potentially, your grandmother who took a medication,” Crain said.

Lieb, recalling a time he was called to the home of a person who overdosed on heroin, called the effects of naloxone “extraordinary.”

“I was about to begin CPR because I thought this person was going to die,” Lieb said. After being administered the medication, “this person was acting normal and wanted to know why everyone was in his room.” e naloxone program is funded through the McHenry County Mental Health Board.

Vote for Althoff, because we can’t afford to lose her voice in :WYPUNÄLSK I have known Pamela Althoff for more than 15 years now. I knew her first as a friend, later as a colleague. A friend is a person you can spend time with and be yourself and vice versa. A friend is someone who has your back and someone who cares.

We found we have a lot in common for our love of public service, helping people navigate their government and making sure their voices were heard whether in the majority or the minority.

When she became senator, I was a legislative assistant to our state representative and we began to work together. When I became chairwoman of the McHenry County Board, we were able to accomplish much good for our citizens — road improvements, settling boundary disputes, working for continued funding of our social services, and cutting McHenry County’s portion of your tax bill.

I have never seen or known anyone else of her caliber in putting people before politics. She works ceaselessly and tells it like it is whether she agrees with you or not. We cannot afford to lose Pamela in Springfield.

Vote Pamela Althoff Nov. 8 and keep her hard at work for the citizens of McHenry County!

Tina R. Hill, McHenry County Board, Woodstock

Requiem for a Saturn I never knew the exact date that my 1996 Saturn SL2 was assembled, but I know that it was late in August of 1995.

So it was very near or even on its 21st birthday that it died. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Diedâ&#x20AC;? may be misleading. e engine still purred after 21 years, largely because I had discovered, years ago, the best and fairest team of mechanics I have encountered in 50 years of driving â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the folks at Auto Tech, on Eastwood Drive in Woodstock. ey had been keeping the car running, sometimes improvising replacements for parts no longer made at one-third of the cost of the unavailable parts, for years. But, on Aug. 22, I took the aged beast in for a routine oil change and asked them to see if they could determine why I seemed to be slowly losing engine coolant.

When they got my Saturn up on the lift, my mechanic came to the waiting room and asked me to come into the service bay. I felt like a relative of

a hospital patient. â&#x20AC;&#x153; is,â&#x20AC;? I thought, â&#x20AC;&#x153;is not a good sign.â&#x20AC;?

He showed me the source of the coolant leak, a damaged water pump, told me it could be ďŹ xed and at what price, then John Daab said something like, On the Town â&#x20AC;&#x153;But don't do it.â&#x20AC;? He then led me to the rear end of the car.

Twenty years of winter, 20 years of McHenry County road salt had so badly rusted the undercarriage that my car was breaking apart. One strut stabilizing the right rear wheel had already snapped. e corresponding strut for the left rear wheel was about to snap.

Everything made of steel, in fact, on the underside of the car was on the verge of disintegration. I was one pothole away, they told me, from my car becoming uncontrollable.

I spent the next three weeks cleaning out the car, investigating disposal options, looking into public transportation and weeping. My faithful daily companion of 21 years, my helper, my friend (in a way) would soon be out of my life. e grief was real.

On Monday, Sept. 12, Route 14 Auto Parts towed her away to be crushed.

Note that, by now, I was thinking â&#x20AC;&#x153;her,â&#x20AC;? not â&#x20AC;&#x153;it.â&#x20AC;? I had realized, at some time in the previous three weeks, that I was losing not just a tool to get from place to place, but a meaningful relationship.

It has long been central to my values system that one should love people and use things, not the other way around, as is too, too common. But some things, over time, can earn real love. Blues legend B. B. King so famously loved his guitar that he had Gibson Guitars replace the Gibson logo on the the headstock with her name, Lucille. And I loved Miss Saturn. e best thing that has come out of this mess is my discovery of a wonderful group of people. Senior Care Volunteer Network will drive anyone older than 60 who needs a ride for free. eir priorities are doctor appointments, but that is not written in stone. And they very much need volunteer drivers speciďŹ cally from Woodstock. Call 815-455-3120. ey need you. And since a new or even used car is not in my budget, for now, I need you, too.

John Daab lives in Woodstock. He has written a column for e Woodstock Independent since 1995.

1987 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know life without e Independent. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good.

My responses to two emails earlier this week characterize the kind of paper Cheryl we are. e ďŹ rst Wormley email included +LJSHYH[PVUZ an obituary and photo for publication. e writer said to reply if there was a charge. I responded. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are honored to publish your father-inlawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s obituary. e Independent publishes obituaries free as a service to our community. Perhaps the money that would have paid for the obituary can be used in some other way to honor him.â&#x20AC;?

Nearly all newspapers charge for obituaries. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t because we believe obituaries tell peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life stories. ey are a historical record of who we are as a community. Would we beneďŹ t from the revenue as other papers do? We certainly would, but not at the expense of grieving families. e second email was from the mother of a young athlete. She was disappointed there werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t more Little League game results in e Independent last summer. We were disappointed, too.

Because this is National Newspaper Week, this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s editorial in the far left column of the previous page uplifts the importance of newspapers.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m taking the celebration closer to home and invite all of you to celebrate your newspaper â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Woodstock Independent. You could propose a toast to The Independent when you gather with friends â&#x20AC;&#x201C; though they may wonder if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ďŹ&#x201A;ipped out. Still it would be fun. You could have an extra cup of coffee or glass of your favorite beverage and pause for a few minutes to put a value on Woodstock having its own newspaper. Or you might turn that idea 180 degrees and try to imagine Woodstock without its own newspaper â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an unpleasant thought.

Some of you are among our ďŹ rst subscribers and advertisers. You put your money on a start-up newspaper in the spring of 1987. Without you, there wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be an Independent. And those of you who subscribed and advertised since and are subscribing and advertising today are keeping Woodstock news, information and advertising in print and online. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a symbiotic relationship. You buy the paper and advertise, and we interview and write news stories, attend events, take photos and publish. You count on us, and we count on you.

Orchestra begins a new movement

By Sandy Kucharski THE INDEPENDENT

With hopes and dreams similar to that of a parent, the Woodstock District 200 music department is excited about what lies ahead for their new freshman, the orchestra program. In 2011 orchestra was first made available to fourth-grade students in D-200. is year orchestra starts high school.

“We’ve gone through some growing pains, but out district is so accepting,” said Lyndra Bastian, an orchestra director at Creekside Middle School and Woodstock High School. “I’m so happy for us.” e program started with one director, Becky Blaho, who visited the students one day per week for lessons.

In 2013, Bastian was added to help with the growth of the program as the first students entered middle school where the director is in contact with the students daily or every other day, depending on their schedules and other involvement in music.

“It’s cool to see each step, and how

much that extra time counts,” she said.

As the orchestra program moves into high school, two more staff members have been added for the program that now serves more than 500 students districtwide. Patrick Yasutake has a full-time position and Cara Fulcher is part time to meet the needs of the students in the growing program. “ e younger grades are growing,” said Bastian. “More fourth- and fifthgraders are joining after seeing it in the high school.”

Each high school has an orchestra for the 2016-17 school year. Woodstock High School has 24 musicians; Woodstock North High School has 18. “ e high school orchestra is small, but numbers in younger grades are catching up with band,” said Bastian. “Two years down the road we are hoping to start a symphony orchestra,” which means the addition of woodwinds, brass and percussion.

She said most districts with established orchestra and band programs see orchestra start first because the

instruments are smaller and easier to manipulate, but eventually the children gravitate one way or another. “ e band and orchestra [in D-200] work together and support each other,” said Bastian.

Last year, orchestra students performed for family and friends, in hospitals and retirement homes, and several participated and placed in the prestigious Illinois Music Education Association District 7 Junior Orchestra. To celebrate their hard work and dedication, the directors are planning a trip for the students in March to see Yo Yo Ma perform at Symphony Center in Chicago.

Once again this year, six of the eight auditioning students made it into ILMEA Junior Orchestra. e students who auditioned are Taylor Hauck and Mei Cornell on violin; eresa Presisto, Grace Rogers and Kaia Sweet, viola; Quinn Cynor, cello; and Ian Matthies and Helen Bozic, bass. “ ese are some hard working kids,” Bastian said. “We’d like people to know they’re here working.”

Grammy-winning guitarist brings unique spin to folk Grammywinner Mike Dowling will play at Unity Spiritual Center Oct. 8.

By Sandy Kucharski THE INDEPENDENT

A Grammy-winning guitarist, singer and songwriter is bringing his unique brand of folk music to Woodstock.

Off Square Music will present Mike Dowling in concert at 8 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 8, at Unity Spiritual Center, 225 Calhoun St. Dowling’s musical resumé reads like a who’s who of Americana music, playing with artists such as Vassar Clement on “Nashville Jam,” Joe Venuti and Jethro Burns in Chicago, and George Barnes in California. For 20 years he performed with various ensembles and bands from Chicago to Nashville, playing sessions, fronting his own band and writing songs for artists including Del McCoury, Kathy Mattea and Emmylou Harris. In 1995, he launched a solo performance career.

“I had the benefit of playing in a lot of different bands, but now as a solo performer, I’m concentrating on material for my concerts,” said Dowling.

He’s been a featured guest on public radio’s “A Prairie Home Companion” as well as a substitute guitarist in that show’s Guys All-Star Shoe Band. In 2005, he was one of 12 of the country’s top fingerstyle guitarists who won the Grammy for Best Pop Instrumental Album for their solo arrangements of Henry Mancini compositions on a CD called “Pink Guitar.”

About a third of the material Dowling now performs he’s written, but he also enjoys playing familiar tunes. His arrangements are for solo guitar, using what he calls quirky tuning.

“I take pride in taking an old tune and rearranging it, putting my spin on it,” he said.

Drawing from a deep musical bag of American roots – ranging from the melodic Piedmont style of acoustic blues to ragtime to vintage jazz

Mike Dowling in Concert

– Dowling enjoys putting a little of himself into each arrangement.

“It’s the folk process,” he said. “You have to be mindful of the integrity of the original song.” is is Dowling’s third visit to Woodstock. His connection to the town is a former student, Kent Fishburn of Off Square Music. His first visit was for in an intimate house concert and about five years ago he performed at the Unity Spiritual Center.

When he comes to Woodstock, he’ll play selections on three different guitars: a resonator, a National Steel and a bottleneck.

“I play a lot in open tunings,” Dowling said, adding that these are a good way to play the blues. “It allows you to

do more fingerpicking.”

Born in Racine, Wis., Dowling grew up in Stevens Point. In his early career, he moved from there to Milwaukee and finally to Wyoming.

“My travels take me west these days,” Dowling said. He recently attended the National Association of Music Merchants show in Anaheim, Calif., where he demonstrated guitars for National Guitars.

About 20 years ago, the

Midwesterner took a leap of faith and moved to Wyoming. He and his wife bought a cabin overlooking the picturesque Wind River. After some renovation work, they opened Wind River Guitar, where they offer intensive personal master guitar instruction, eight to 10 times per year.

“It’s really beautiful here,” Dowling said, adding that it’s also nice to get out and connect with people.

Referring to the beautiful backdrop for his home and lesson program, Dowling said, “I don’t have the blues, although I still play them sometimes.”

Tickets are $15 at the door. Tickets can be reserved by emailing offsquare@gmail.com. Reservations are optional.

Farmers market wins high rankings Woodstock Farmers Market rated high in American Farmland Trust surveys

By Tricia Carzoli THE INDEPENDENT

On any given Saturday or Tuesday – from spring through the fall – the Woodstock Square is bustling with locals and visitors alike.

So it’s no surprise the Woodstock Farmers Market bagged high billings in the American Farmland Trust’s summer-long Farmers Market Celebration. e AFT has been promoting farmers markets around the nation in an effort to draw attention to local farmers and encourage customers, farmers and community members to endorse markets nationwide.

“Farmers markets are critical for new and beginning farmers,” Susan Sink, AFT vice president of Development and External Relations, said.

“Many farmers struggle to stay financially afloat and face daily pressure from development to sell their land.

Farmers markets provide a wonderful opportunity for family farmers to sell directly to consumers and keep their farmland in farming.”

Keith Johnson, Woodstock Farmers Market manager, agreed. “ e market gives a retail outlet to the farmers – and that is an important part of keeping our farmers farming.” e Woodstock Farmers Market was ranked by AFT among the top five markets in Illinois and among the top 50 in most categories nationally – including People’s Choice, Focus on the Farmers, Healthy Food for All, Pillar of the Community and Champion for the Environment. “ e most important category really is the People’s Choice. We were ranked fourth in Illinois [and 50th nationwide]. is means the most because the AFT is polling the people who actually go to the markets – and we want to serve the customers,” Johnson explained.

Woodstock also is ranked fourth in Illinois and 49th nationwide in the Focus on the Farmers category – something Johnson also is proud of as he and his team require inspections of participating farms to ensure all of the

It keeps the product local and promotes healthy farming practices as well as supports local farmers. e market ranked fourth in Illinois and 48th in nationwide polls in the Healthy Food for All category. Johnson believes the availability of the LINK system contributes to this. “ is year, we partnered with LINK Up Illinois, and, through a grant, we were able to match the money on the card up to $25. … We were able to provide more healthy food for people who need it most,” Johnson said. e grant provided assistance for a period of time during the summer market.

Johnson plans to apply for the grant again, but the market also hosts fundraisers in order to provide more LINK credit throughout the market season.

In the category of Champion for the Environment Woodstock ranked 4th in Illinois and 49th nationwide. “We have a reusable bag initiative – local businesses have provided reusable bags for us to use. One year we had our logo on reusable bags. We also encourage organic practices among our vendors. I think that means a lot to our customers,” Johnson said.

Finally, Woodstock ranked 3rd in

Illinois and 48th nationwide in the category of Pillar of the Community.

“We try to offer a variety of things – in the summer, there is storytime with [Woodstock Public Library children’s librarian] Mary Ryan; there is live music at all the markets; we have a potter – Vivian Ginsberg Smith – who throws pottery on Saturdays; we have yarn; we have soap; we try to have something for everyone,” Johnson said.

While the outdoor market season is winding down – the last day of the outdoor market is Tuesday, Oct. 25 Johnson encouraged the community to visit the winter market.

“We will have less leafy vegetables, but along with our usual vendors, we will have a woman who will sell [hydroponic] lettuce,” he said. He also said the market will sell fish caught by independent Alaskan fisherman, partnering with professors in Galesburg, to flash-freeze the fish and provide quality seafood to Woodstock residents. e winter market will begin Saturday, Oct. 29, in Building D at the McHenry County Fairgrounds, 11900 Country Club Road. e market will be held on select Saturdays until April from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. e complete schedule can be found at www.woodstockfarmersmarket.org.

Community HIGHLIGHT

Grace holds day of service

Members of Grace Lutheran Church in Woodstock participated in their fourth annual Evangelical Lutheran Church in America Day of Service.

“We had 87 volunteers that day, with the average person working three hours,” said the Rev. Amanda Bergstrom, pastor at Grace.

Participants chose four service projects for the event held Sept. 11. e first was to prepare 100 Lutheran World Relief school kits. Congregation members Rachel Bellavia and Mary Beth Martin-Bellavia dropped them off at a collection site in Elgin. e second project involved assembling and delivering thank-you gifts to Woodstock’s emergency responders. e gifts were funded by donations from members of Grace. e third effort included projects for Turning Point, a domestic violence agency helping women and children.

A team of 13 volunteers weeded and cleared landscaping beds. e fourth project was a crew that worked on a Home of the Sparrow homeless shelter house. Seven people painted a house for a mother with young children and did minor repairs.

“We are grateful for the coordination of Michelle Lusmann, volunteer program manager at Home of the Sparrow, and Sharon Coker, volunteer coordinator at Turning Point,” said Bergstrom.

An additional group of 13 people prepared, served and cleaned up to provide a chili con carne lunch for the volunteers. rivent Action Teams provided funding assistance for the meal and supplies.

Bergstrom led a group of team leaders that included Andy Bellavia, Denise Klabunde, Jon Bergstrom, Martin-Bellavia, Michaela Combs, Nora Combs, Paul Meyer and Shirley Busse.

“It is a joy and honor for Grace Lutheran Church to participate in the ELCA Service Day,” said Bergstrom.

“We give thanks for these great community partners and for the volunteers who shared their time, talents and resources with our neighbors.”

While he enjoyed running the 3,200-meter run and the 3-mile run in cross-country for Woodstock High School, he might end up enjoying college running even more.

“I love the longer distances,” said Beattie. “I am not only looking forward to running the longer distances in crosscountry, but also the 5,000-meter and 10,000-meter runs on the track.” us far, the Utah State University freshman Dan has run two varChamness sity cross-country The College races; one was a Report 7,000-meter race and the other was an 8,000.

What started as a football game for Woodstock North seemed to end in a boxing match Sept. 30 as heavyweight contender Johnsburg clobbered the visiting under 56-0.

WNHS senior quarterback Matt Zinnen had some teeth knocked loose and junior running back Collin Mergl left the game with a sprained knee as Woodstock North took a beating from the undefeated Skyhawks, who used their superior size and strength to their advantage.

Despite the lopsided final score, the under managed to keep it close in the first half, going into the locker room at halftime down 14-0.

“We played them tough the first half,” WNHS coach Jeff Schroeder said. “Once we gave up the opening kick return in the second half, that deflated our sails and things snowballed from there. … ey are as good as we heard they were.” e under already had a number of injured players going into the game, including senior running back Casey Dycus, who broke his wrist in a game against Richmond-Burton but who returned to play. Linebackers Trevor Stinger (junior) and Zach Schau (senior) are still on the injured list from the Richmond-Burton game but hope to return this week.

Schroeder said he knew Richmond and Johnsburg would be the toughest opponents on the schedule.

“We need to tackle better and really execute fundamentals better. Be more precise in our execution.”

“I just started running at age 40.

I had never run before,” the now 44-year-old said. “I started running four years ago because I was challenged by friends. I like a challenge, so I started running. My first race was a marathon.”

It was shortly after that race Molina wondered what he could do to alleviate foot pain. After researching, Molina found barefoot running might be a possible solution and has been shown to help with hip and knee pain as well. “ ere was a marathon in Iowa.

I just decided to remove my shoes for that race,” Molina said. “And I haven’t worn shoes [while training or during races] since.”

On Aug. 27 in Wisconsin, Molina began his bid to run the most halfmarathons in 30 days.

“It is a lot of work to do this. I had to call to make sure that each race was certified and accepted by the Guinness officials. I had to wear a Go-Pro [camera] the entire time, so I had to make sure it was charged and ready to go for every race. I had to take pictures, make calls and have paperwork completed by race officials,” Molina explained. “It was also hard to find races to do during the week, too.”

In order to achieve his goal, Molina traveled all over the United States in a carefully planned trip. From Wisconsin to Michigan, Texas to Colorado, North Dakota to South Dakota, he kept pressing forward. Race after race, flight after flight, drive after drive, Molina continued to run – without shoes, but with a passion unmatched by most.

He ended his 30 days with a run in Chicago at the Chicago Half Marathon Sept. 25. With that run, he completed 18 half-marathons in

Jose Rico, 48, Woodstock, died Friday, Sept. 16, 2016, at Centegra Hospital-Woodstock, surrounded by his loving family.

He was born Jan. 8, 1968, to Jose and Ofelia (Ortiz) Rico in Mexico.

On Dec. 26, 1992, he married Patricia Beltran in Mexico.

He graduated from Farragut Career Academy, Chicago, and attended St. Augustine College for two years.

He was the sole owner and operator of City Wide Home Service after purchasing the business from his partner in 1996. In business since 1982, he was proud and passionate to serve the McHenry County Area with painting, restoration and renovation, making many dear friends and acquaintances along the way. He was always there to help someone in need, and he would check up on elderly clients to assist them with other needs long after the job was done. He cared so much for his community and family and did so by exemplifying high moral and ethical standards, which he passed on to many.

He had a passion for soccer and from a very early age and he passed on this dedication to many by founding and coaching the Barcelona Juniors Soccer Club and later continued coaching his sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team, Valladolid USA, with his best friends Santiago Rubio and Ray Medina, among others. His focus wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t only on the game of soccer, but he strived for players to pursue a good education, and he encouraged them to set goals, be a good person and remain humble. He instilled these values in his family as well as his many dear friends.

He was very proud of his daughter for ILPUN [OL Ă&#x201E;YZ[ JVSSLNL NYHK\H[L PU [OL family and encouraged her to follow her dreams of becoming a doctor as well as setting an example for her two younger brothers. His legacy for the love of soccer, determination and exemplary work ethic will live long in his family.

Celebrate the freedom to read this week Banned Books Week, the celebration of censored literature and the people and institutions who fight for the freedom to read what they want, runs from Sept. 25 to Oct. 1.

Organized by the Banned Books Week Coalition and endorsed by the Center for the Book at the Library of Congress, the week is intended to raise awareness of the all-too-frequent phenomenon of books being blacklisted from schools, libraries and bookstores.

Even in the U.S., books sometimes face the chopping block because someone, somewhere, is offended or worried about their content. In fact, according to the American Library Association, more than 11,300 books have been challenged since 1982, when the organization started tracking that data. e list of most challenged books of 2015 runs the literary gamut, from the Bible to “ e Curious Incident of the Dog in the NightTime.” Some books were banned for violence or sexual content, others for religious viewpoints and one, according to the Banned Books Week Coalition, was banned “to ward off complaints” — a proactive banning, if you will.

Librarians and their professional organizations tend to oppose banning books; in most cases, elected school boards, library boards or other similar institutions are to blame for book blacklists.

As the Woodstock Public Library continues to celebrate its 125th anniversary, we certainly encourage everyone to take advantage of its ongoing “birthday” activities, including its scavenger hunt. But why not mark Banned Books Week by checking a few items off your to-read list — maybe “ e Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time” for starters?

Jack Franks means dysfunction for McHenry County Fourteen local mayors and village presidents have endorsed Jack Franks for chair of the McHenry County Board. Do not be fooled: the local leaders endorsing Franks are the same elected officials who are taxing us out of our homes.

McHenry County homeowners currently pay among the highest property tax bills in the United States. How did we get here? With the “leadership” of many of the same people who now want Franks in charge of our County Board.

Lovable winners?

“I didn’t realize it was October until I saw the Chicago Cubs choking.” — Jay Leno “It’s hard to be a Chicago Cubs fan. Everyone gets that. ere have been so many close calls, like in 1962, when they missed the post season by 42.5 games.” — King Kaufman, former daily sports columnist for Salon.com “Diehard” has always meant one thing to me.

It isn’t a car battery. It isn’t the 1998 Bruce Willis action film (which, technically, is “Die Hard”). It’s the adjective for a long-suffering fan of a baseball

Franks plans on using his “bully pulpit” to persuade other local taxing bodies to cut their tax levies and will “keep fighting until the job is done.” Who, exactly, will Franks be fighting?

Everyone.

Franks will wreak havoc on McHenry County in an attempt to control money and influence, while local elected officials are cheering for chaos. Lawsuits between multiple government entities funded by the taxpayers? No thank you.

Vote Michael Walkup for County Board chair to keep dysfunction out of McHenry County.

15, more than three weeks before their ďŹ rst post-season game and the earliest the Cubs have ever clinched. Even after seeing the Cubs lose to Milwaukee by a score of 11-3 Sept. 17, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still high on this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possibilities. is is a team that rarely maddens its fans, thanks partly to the fun attitude of a different â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maddon,â&#x20AC;? Cubs manager Joe. As heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oftquoted, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Never permit the pressure to exceed the pleasure.â&#x20AC;? ink about it. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you wish your boss had that kind of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sweat the small stuffâ&#x20AC;? philosophy? is 2016 team, made up of a number of younger players and some veterans, also doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to have any divas. is isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a team with just one highly paid star performer, supported by players who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t execute. is is a team that gets psyched up when any member of the team does well, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a walkoff home run (as Miguel Montero did in the 10th inning Sept. 16), or when one of the pitchers has a complete game.

As evidenced by the Leno quote

at the top of this column, late-night talk show hosts used to be able to crack jokes about the Cubs. Just a few years ago, Conan Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien said, â&#x20AC;&#x153; e Chicago Cubs are considering leaving Wrigley Field if they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a bigger scoreboard. en someone reminded the Cubs, for the amount of runs they get, they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need a scoreboard.â&#x20AC;? Hosts need to go a different direction now to get a laugh.

Perfect example: avid fan Stephen Colbert, who disguised himself as hot dog vendor â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donny Franksâ&#x20AC;? at the recent game I attended, removed a ball from his hot dog container and signed it, and only then threw out a ceremonial ďŹ rst pitch.

Over the years, others in the media have felt extremely sorry for those of us who live and die with the North Siders. Editorial cartoonist Jack Higgins has a great cartoon in which the ďŹ rst panel shows a man with a Cubs cap saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hi! My name is Dave and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a Cubs fan.â&#x20AC;? e remaining panel shows a circle of fellow fans gathered, 12-step style, to support each other in this â&#x20AC;&#x153;illnessâ&#x20AC;? of Cubs fandom, saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hi, Dave!â&#x20AC;? e Cubs have been â&#x20AC;&#x153;lovable losersâ&#x20AC;? for so many years that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s play HORSE,â&#x20AC;? I offered.

While still dribbling, Charles replied, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s HORSE? Is it like PIG?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think so,â&#x20AC;? was my response, asking if PIG involved taking turns shooting the basketball from the same location on the driveway. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And if you miss, you get a letter. e ďŹ rst one who gets to PIG is the loser.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well, then HORSE is the same. But there are more letters, so it will take longer.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153; en, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s play HORSE,â&#x20AC;? he shouted.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Mary Elizabeth dismount from her tricycle and start galloping toward us.

As she galloped, she whinnied, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Neigh, neigh, neigh.â&#x20AC;?

It took two series of galloping and neighing for me to catch what was happening. en, I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop laughing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so funny?â&#x20AC;? asked Charles, who was more than a bit perturbed since he was attempting his ďŹ rst shot. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mary Elizabeth is playing HORSE, too,â&#x20AC;? I chortled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Good, but it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t our kind of HORSE,â&#x20AC;? he countered as he hit his ďŹ rst shot.

Mary Elizabeth cheered, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Neigh, neigh, neigh!â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a priceless gift to be in the presence of children. Priceless, that is, if we adults dismiss distractions and truly watch and listen. When we do, we can see through their eyes and hear things through their ears. What we observe might astound or entertain us â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or both.

Earlier this month, my husband, Jim, and I had the good fortune of having three of our grandchildren all to ourselves while their parents took a well-earned long weekend away. And, yes, what follows are two or of our many ah-ha experiences.

On Saturday, Jim and John George, 8, went to the University of Illinois football game in Champaign.

John asked if he could take an iPad as entertainment for the three-hour drives down and back. I encouraged him to take earbuds, thinking Jim would be spared the game sounds that go along with iPad enjoyment. Even with the iPad and earbuds, they had plenty of time to talk.

Once in the east balcony of Memorial Stadium, John was awed by the spectacle before him. He thoroughly enjoyed the Marching Illiniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pregame show and was eager for the start of the game.

On the ďŹ rst series of downs, John turned to Jim with a puzzled look on his face. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where is the yellow line?â&#x20AC;? he asked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I see all the white lines, but not

Sixth-grade project seeks to make school cool

By Sandy Kucharski THE INDEPENDENT

Sixth-grade students at Northwood Middle School worked together to help solve a real world problem at their school: a lack of air conditioning. e challenge called “Teaming Together to Cool Our School” required students to design a device that could reduce the temperature of the air by 4 degrees more than the control unit.

Originally the brainchild of NMS teacher Marcy Buchanan, the project was inspired by a summer workshop she took. Now in it’s third year, the project has evolved into a STEM project, incorporating engineering goals to fit common-core requirements and bring it in line with new science standards.

One of the most important outcomes of the project was for the students to learn how to problem solve.

“We want the students working and thinking like scientists,” said NMS teacher Katie Spaldon. e students had three criteria to meet: make the unit safe since they would be using an electric fan near dripping water, stay within the budget of $11 for supplies and reduce the temperature at the output of the unit. Some groups were successful.

A variety of materials were made available to the students including plastic foam coolers, small electrical fans and plastic trays. Each item had a price value. To cut costs, students could bring items from home. e students split into teams of four to six, planned their designs and on Sept. 23 spent the day implementing

What started out as a frenzy of flying plastic foam bits and duct taping, settled into an afternoon of posters and presentations with the participating sixth-graders touring each classroom.

“We know that not everyone’s project will work,” said Spaldon, explaining that projects are graded separately

on presentation and data collection.

Another sixth-grade teacher, Bob Rivera, said, “It’s a great thing we’ve started here. ey’ve seen models, but they had to redesign their units. ey asked to look at the other projects and share information ... a key of modern learning.” e project was made possible

through the support of the District 200 Education Foundation – which paid for a membership to Friends of the Fox River, the next step in the study of the water cycle – and Shop Fresh Market, which donated freezer space to freeze the gallon jugs of water the groups needed and loaned crates to transport jugs to and from school.

Nominations open for Sue Palmore Award of Excellence Sue Palmore loved a good challenge.

A longtime Woodstock School District 200 Board of Education member, community activist and friend to District 200, she exemplified that “roll up your sleeves and get it done” Midwestern spirit. It is that spirit that the District 200 Education Foundation each year presents the Sue Palmore Award of Excellence. Sue passed away in 2012 following a long battle with cancer. In 2015, the Education Foundation renamed the annual Award of

Excellence in Sue’s honor, and each year, the Sue Palmore Award of Excellence honors community members who embody her passion for excellence and “getting things done.” e award is open to any District 200 resident, any current or previous District 200 employee or any graduate of District 200. e honoree will be selected based on contributions that have resulted in significant improvement to education in District 200. e contributions may be represented by

an extraordinary short-term contribution or a dedicated longterm commitment to improving District 200 education. Since its inception, the Award of Excellence has honored teachers, coaches, staff members and community volunteers. Last year’s recipient was longtime resident and educational volunteer Joy Aavang. e Sue Palmore Award of Excellence will be presented at the D200 Education Foundation’s Groundhog Day Dinner and Auction Saturday,

Musical Bible story to open at Opera House Friday, Oct. 7

By Sandy Kucharski THE INDEPENDENT

It’s only fitting that “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat,” Woodstock Musical eatre Company’s family-friendly biblical story of Joseph and his coat of many colors, will be brought to life on the Woodstock Opera House stage with the help of several families in the cast and crew; eight in all. ere is the mother-daughter combination of costumer Holly Adkins and her daughters Sydney, Marie and Faye, all in the cast. Siblings in the cast include: Allison and Eliza Goers and Jay and Mae Osborn, Woodstock, and a set of twins from Wonder Lake, Emerich and Malaika Parpart.

Woodstock’s Czarny family has three generations involved in the production. Lisa Czarny-Hrykas will appear in “Joseph” as one of the wives. Her two children, Alexie and Lia, will be on stage as part of the children’s choir and the family patriarch, Lou Czarny, came out of retirement to play Jacob. “ is is great,” said Lou Czarny.

“I had not intended to do any more shows, but I couldn’t turn down this opportunity.”

Czarny said he was first drawn to theater after he watched his daughter perform in a seventh-grade show at Northwood Middle School. In 1985, he landed his first role, a part in WMTC’s production of “ e Best Little Whorehouse in Texas,” and he was hooked. For the past 30 years, he’s been involved both on- and offstage, including serving on the board of directors of WMTC and TownSquare Players. “ e kids have seen me and their mom on stage,” said Czarny. “ e 6-year-old [Lia] didn’t want to audition, but at the last second she agreed. Now she’s loving it.” e show’s choreographer, Jocelyn France, is also experiencing the pride of seeing her children on stage.

With the same intensity she brought to basketball, Woodstock’s Lisa Foss is burning it up with her new business, Your Sister’s Tomato, a mobile woodfired pizza party truck based in Woodstock that can cook on-site.

Varying dramatically from conventional ovens, wood-fired pizza cooks in about 90 seconds, making for a very light crust. is speedy baking process allows Foss to produce a lot of pizzas in a short period of time.

“I can make a couple hundred pizzas in an hour,” said Foss. “ at’s not 200 pieces, but 200 entire pizzas.”

“It’s fun to make, eat and watch,” said Foss, who bills her pizza party as a unique alternative to traditional catering. For children’s events, kids can get hands-on experience, tossing the dough and adding their own toppings. e pizzas are made with fresh homemade dough and hand-crushed San Marzano tomato sauce. “ e dough is hand-tossed, and I use all

Italian meats and the freshest of ingredients for toppings,” said Foss, something the growing population of foodies will appreciate. e business is run by the Tomato Team, consisting of Foss, her brother, Gabe Foss, and basketball teammate Tammy Hinchee. e name comes from an old family expression. She remembers while growing up there were times when the adults were talking and they considered the topic of conversation off-limits. She said when one of the kids would ask what they were talking about, an adult would answer, “‘Your sister’s tomato.’ It was a polite way to say mind your own business.”

“I have two brothers, but I always said that if I ever started a restaurant that’s what I’d call it,” said Foss, whose family runs Lumberjacks, a firewood and mulch supplier in Woodstock.

Foss’ first calling was basketball, where her talent and commitment to the game earned her all-star status in high school and took her all the way

YOUR SISTER’S TOMATO >LIZP[L! YourSistersTomato.com

through college to playing on a professional level in Europe. But growing up in an Italian household, she said she also always had a passion for cooking.

Between basketball seasons she worked for the family business, delivering firewood to hundreds of restaurants, including some that specialized in wood-fire pizza. Already a fan of that style of baking, she learned more about the process and made the decision to start the business.

She imported a Valoriani wood-fired oven from Italy. Fueled by kiln-dried ash firewood from Lumberjacks, the oven heats up to a working temperature of about 800 degrees and can maintain that temperature for baking.

“It’s a good thing we know how to build fires,” said Foss.

Reflecting on her new venture, Foss said, “I think [this business] will touch and affect a lot of people. e fire in the oven is like the fire I have in me.”

By Whitney Rupp THE INDEPENDENT

Shane Zieman, a 2013 graduate of Woodstock North High School, was preparing to return to Illinois State University to pursue a biology major when he learned the news that would change his life forever.

Zieman, a well-known athlete at WNHS who played football, baseball and basketball in addition to being a member of the National Honor Society, was diagnosed with testicular cancer Aug. 17. Just two days later, he was in surgery. CT scans confirmed metastasis to his chest and abdomen areas, and chemotherapy was recommended.

Zieman, who is being treated at Centegra Sage Cancer Center in McHenry, has taken the semester off from ISU in order to pursue treatment. e days are long and tiring for the 21-year-old, with each chemotherapy session lasting more than six hours, but Zieman and his family have been doing their best to stay positive.

“We are a family of faith. We know that by having faith and our support

system, you can do anything,” said Patty Zieman, Shane Zieman’s mother.

His twin sister, Brittany, and younger sister, Samantha, 19, are vital parts of his support system, along with many family friends who were quick to rally around the family after learning of his diagnosis. Treatment days include friends checking in via text and phone.

Andrea Jones, Brittany Zieman’s future mother-in-law, has been leading an upcoming fundraising effort to help support Shane Zieman financially.

“Not five minutes went by when we weren’t talking about him or thinking about him,” Jones said about Shane Zieman’s first day of chemo.

A fundraiser, “Hammering Cancer at the Nail,” will take place at noon Sunday, Oct. 2, at the Rusty Nail Saloon, 4520 Ringwood Road, Ringwood, and is being coordinated by friends of the Zieman family. Raffle baskets, a silent auction, meat raffle and taco bar are some of the highlights. Many of the donated items are related to Chicago sports, including Cubs tickets. People who are unable to attend but wish to donate can send donations to the Shane Zieman Benefit Fund, PO Box 1752, McHenry, IL 60051.

Adding to the community support, some of Shane Zieman’s high school

friends are hosting a bar crawl fundraiser Saturday, Oct. 1, on the Woodstock Square. In addition to high school peers, many of Shane’s classmates from ISU, as well as family, will be attending, and the event is open to the public. Main Street PourHouse and Ortmann’s are participating and donating a percentage of all sales to the Zieman family. T-shirts will be available for purchase.

“Shane is the kind of kid that epitomizes quiet strength and courage.

He is a very dignified young man who has all the support in the world,” said Jeff Schroeder, an administrator at WNHS who was Shane Zieman’s football coach. “He is a great son, friend and was an outstanding teammate. His determination will carry the day in this battle.”

“Of all the accomplishments that parents are proud of, I’ll be the most proud that Shane is a cancer survivor,” Patty Zieman said.

Public Works employee recognized for 30 years of service

By Jan Dovidio THE INDEPENDENT

An employee of the city of Woodstock is marking three decades of service.

Wayne Baker’s 30-year anniversary of working for the city is ursday, Sept. 29.

Baker was born and raised in Woodstock. After several years as a mechanic at a local service station, he applied for an opening for the city in 1986. He spent 15 years as a mechanic in the city garage, “including plowing a lot of snow during those years,” he said.

Baker then transferred to a wastewater plant as an operator and earned several certifications through the years. He was promoted to the position of lab manager last fall following the retirement of the previous manager.

“After all these years, now I get to be the boss,” he said. “Woodstock is a good place to work and has great people. It’s always a relaxed atmosphere.”

Baker has two daughters and proudly brags about his first grandchild, a 2-month old baby girl.

“Wayne has been a great employee for the city,” said Public Works Director Jeff Van Landuyt.

“He brings a lot of expertise which is beneficial to us. We look to Wayne and other long-term employees to be leaders in their departments and share their expertise and skills with new employees.

“We love 30-year employees as they can tell new employees how good it is to work here.”

It wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be a birthday without a scavenger hunt When I was a kid, a common activity at the birthday parties I attended was a scavenger hunt.

For the unfamiliar, this involved young children running through an unknown neighborhood in the dark, ringing strangersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; doorbells at inappropriate times of night, and asking those strangers to give you random items like clothespins and a turnip.

As the Woodstock Public Library continues celebrating its 125th anniversary, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also holding a scavenger hunt, but rather than bothering people and collecting weird things, ours is designed to encourage our patrons to get out and about and discover many of the unique and wonderful buildings and locations in Woodstock and the rural library district.

Each week, for ďŹ ve weeks total, we are releasing clues for ďŹ ve different locations. Using the clues provided (plus there will be hints on Facebook for the toughies), locate and

take a selďŹ e of yourself at these historic/iconic sites and then bring your phone or camera to the library.

If you successfully identify all Beth Ryan ďŹ ve of the weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Check It Out locations, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll earn a small prize â&#x20AC;&#x201C; your choice of a book bag, coffee mug, library money, puzzle or lanyard and pin.

Each location you ďŹ nd, even if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ďŹ nd all ďŹ ve each week, earns you an entry into the grand-prize drawing. First prize is a $25 gift card to Read Between the Lynes, second place is a three-month membership to the Woodstock Rec Center, and third prize is a Culverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gift card and goodie bag. e scavenger hunt ends on Friday, Oct. 21, so start playing today.

Pick up a clue sheet at the library or they can be found on our website, www.woodstockpubliclibrary.org, or our Facebook page.

We also have a lot of great events taking place in the library in October.

Drivers age 50 and older are encouraged to register for the AARP Safe Driver Course being held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday and Tuesday, Oct. 10 and 11. e cost is $15 for AARP members, $20 for non-members; and successful completion of the two-day course may make you eligible for a discount on your car insurance.

On Sunday, Oct. 16, Master Gardener Susan Langworthy will be here to present e History of Western Gardens at 2 p.m. Presenter Bob Schlacks also is doing two programs for us next month â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Resume Writing Wednesday, Oct. 19, followed by Interviewing Skills Wednesday, Oct. 26. Both are great classes for anyone

looking for a job or a career change.

Last but not least, our friend Patricia Hare is once again joining us at 10 a.m. Wednesday, Oct. 26, for Writing Your Memoirs. is is the third year she has graciously taught this class for us, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wildly popular with the attendees.

On a ďŹ nal note, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to take this opportunity to say a sad, but fond, farewell to my friend and co-worker Linda Knoll as she embarks on her retirement after more than 30 years of exceptional service. In the years I have had the pleasure of working with her, I have found her to be dedicated, dependable and so much fun to be around. Her smiling face and friendly and outgoing personality have been a ďŹ xture at the circulation and childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s desks. While she will be sorely missed, we wish her nothing but the best during this exciting new chapter of her life.
