For Lyford, history is truly personal at World War II event By JAN DOVIDIO e Independent Seventy years after serving in World War II, Woodstock’s Bill Lyford saw his own history come alive again. Touring World War II Days at Rockford’s Midway Village in September with his wife, Eileen, Lyford came upon reenactors portraying the men from his own 45th Infantry Division. “Most of what they did was just about right,” Lyford said of the reenactors, part of a group of 1,200 performers who portray World

War II battles complete with tanks, artillery, armored vehicles and pyrotechnic displays. “I was impressed with the way they were set up in the woods; it was very real. ere were a few things I corrected, though.” e veteran said he told the reenactors — some of whom wore the uniforms of actual World War II soldiers and even learned the men’s personal histories — that their uniforms, for instance, weren’t quite up to snuff. “ eir legs were in leggings tucked down tight into their combat boots,” Lyford said. “I told them that back when we were in the war, we’d call you a rabbit hunter because you weren’t blousing your pants over the top of the boots. Everyone bloused Please see Veteran, Page 2

After a second search, the city of Woodstock has named Paul Christensen finance director. Christensen served as finance director for the village of Fox Lake for 12 years and Schiller Park for the past five years. “It’s an exciting opportunity,” Christensen said. “I believe I’m going to be able to take the talents that I have gained through working at the village of Fox Lake, and then my current position here at Schiller Park, and use it at Woodstock.” Christensen’s hiring came after an initial unsuccessful search was conducted by the city in April. Beginning in mid-November, Christensen will become Woodstock’s chief financial officer, in charge of the city’s finances and helping manage labor negotiations with the city’s unions. Christensen said while each municipality is different, he believes his previous experiences as a finance director will allow him to apply his knowledge to the tasks at hand in Woodstock. “Paul just demonstrated a tremendous amount of experience and knowledge in regards to municipal finance,” said City Manager Roscoe Stelford. “We felt he’d be a good fit with the organization. He has demonstrated a conservative financial approach. e City Council has been pretty conservative over the years with how they handle the residents’ taxpayer money.

At NMS, putting meaning to a day off school Northwood honors veterans with annual program By LISA KUCHARSKI The Independent On Sept. 10, 1969, 19-year-old Barry Mishler was drafted into the U.S. Army. Assigned to the 101st Airborne Infantry, “ e Screaming Eagles,” his outfit reported to Hue, Vietnam, where they slogged through jungle terrain, endured 120-degree inthe-shade temperatures and fought North Vietnamese Army soldiers. In his first experience at Ripcord, a mountain firebase, Mishler witnessed a horrifying scene, as his platoon was wiped out by the NVA while he served bunker duty below. In the jungle, he faced deadly snakes, infection, nasty insects and pitch black nights that inspired mind games. As “point man” and “rear man” several times, Mishler was lucky to have avoided easy attacks. On ursday, Nov. 7, Mishler, now a Northwood Middle School custodian, will don his Army

Veteran

uniform again and address the students as the keynote speaker for the school’s 13th Veterans Day assembly. e public is invited to the assembly, which will begin at 2:15 p.m. in the school gymnasium at 2121 N. Seminary Ave. “Walking in the gym, that’s tough,” said Mishler, whose aforementioned wartime experiences were recorded in Woodstock author Joy Aavang’s book “Fly the Flag for Me,” an account of McHenry County veterans which benefits veterans foundations through its proceeds. “So I’ve got to pull it together and do this talk. I might have to take a few deep breaths. It’s not as easy as you think it is.” While this is his first keynote speech, Mishler has, for seven years, gone classroom to classroom, telling students of his experiences in Vietnam. He said he was not quite ready to share his stories at first, but he gradually became more comfortable talking to the students and teaching them about the Vietnam War. “None of these sixth-graders really know I’m a veteran,” said Mishler, who is usually seen around school sporting

“To me, that’s the thank you that I never got.” — Barry Mishler, Vietnam veteran activities and design buttons for the veterans while the band, choir and color guard practice in preparation for the annual assembly. Resource teacher Gail Vanderpoel said on the day of the assembly, designated guest speakers come in to share stories of their experiences, display artifacts and educate students about a variety of topics, like the signiﬁcance of the folds and stripes on the ﬂag and the

symbols on the dollar bill. All local veterans are invited to the school for a reception from 1:30 to 2:15 p.m. “When those kids walk in that gym, it’s already been decorated and set up so that they just know that it’s really a big deal,” Vanderpoel said. “ ey get it.” Vanderpoel said the stories really grip the students, and she has seen grown men crying while recounting their experiences. “It’s not watching television,” she said. “It’s a real person saying, ‘ is is what I went through. is is what happened to me.’ We’re not promoting war, we’re promoting respect and honoring those who have served.” Sixth-grade math and science teacher Katie Spaldon said the annual program is difﬁcult to work into the curriculum, but worth the time. She said throughout the years, the students have put together some amazing projects, including a handwritten replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., a project headed by former teacher Brian Knight in 2003. e replica displayed more than 58,000 names. Spaldon said the NMS “Wall” has been retired, and the hope is to preserve it

at a historical society or in the National Archives. is year, Spaldon said students will dress in ponchos and helmets to create a living memorial – a representation of the Korean War Veterans Memorial in Washington. Spaldon said participating in projects and listening to the speakers provide a great experience for the students. “What I love is the different variety of topics that they have talked about,” she said. “Over the years, we’ve heard things about people who served in Korea, people who served in peacetime; the kids wanted to know what food they ate, what basic training was like … things the kids don’t know about unless they’ve actually seen it.” As Mishler prepares for his keynote address, he said he knows it will be difﬁcult to make it through without teary eyes. Just the site of the assembled students, veterans and the public and decorated gymnasium makes him emotional. As a veteran of a much-opposed war, Mishler said he really appreciates the touching assembly. “To me, that’s the thank you that I never got,” he said.

OPERA HOUSE MEETS FIREHOUSE

A 60-year-old Woodstock man was arrested Oct. 24, accused of downloading child pornography.

Education foundation awards grants By SANDY KUCHARSKI The Independent e District 200 Education Foundation recently awarded more than $23,000 in grants to teachers, media specialists and professional staff in Woodstock School District 200. e foundation presented the grants at a reception in October at Woodstock North High School. is year, the foundation awarded 66 grants of varying amounts chosen from 97 applications. Cuts in state funding have impacted numerous special programs and classroom enhancements. e minigrant program was developed by the foundation to help pay for projects that normally would not be funded. “ e number of applications has increased in the last several years,” said District 200 Education Foundation

chair Erich urow. e foundation has awarded more than $440,000 in grants since its formation in 1993. About $4,000 of the grant monies awarded this year went to purchase books, $3,600 went for technology in the classroom, $4,000 for classroom supplies and more than $2,000 for expanding ﬁne arts programs. Carol Schnulle, a district employee who works with children with hearing disabilities, received $109.81 for apps that will aid in teaching sign language, selfadvocacy and speech reading, among other things. Last year she received grant money to purchase an iPad. “I think we’re very lucky to have a foundation outside [of district budget] that will support us to give us ... extra resources that the district may not be able to provide,” said Schnulle. “Not all districts have that.”

Woodstock City Manager Roscoe Stelford said the dog park expands Woodstock’s parks system. While Woodstock does not own the park, he said Bull Valley has entered into an agreement to allow Woodstock residents the same dog park beneﬁts as Bull Valley residents. “It’s been on the city’s Capital

Motocross at the fairgrounds – a good start is summer marked the first season of motocross racing at the McHenry County Fairgrounds — an admittedly noisy pursuit that has some area residents concerned about the commotion. e Woodstock Stadium Motocross series ran on select Friday nights from May through September this year, bringing dozens of bikers and plenty of fans to the fairgrounds on Country Club Road. It also brought revving engines and flying dirt to a place that usually sits dormant. e fairgrounds, which is zoned for “outdoor entertainment events,” has an exemption that allows for temporary-use permits to be issued for it to host events like motocross races — and the McHenry County Fair itself. And while it’s easy to understand residents’ worries about the noise that motorcycles, announcers and shouting spectators bring with them on race days — they’ve complained about excessive noise coming late into the night and question whether zoning requirements allow for these activities — organizers and community members have something to cheer about. e race series has proved popular, bringing motocross fans to Woodstock for what one resident described as a “family event.” What’s more, the race has been said to be “crucial” to the survival of the McHenry County Fairgrounds, providing additional income to an organization that owns acres of land that must be put to use for more than its annual weeklong county fair. According to officials from McHenry County — the governing body that oversees zoning at the fairgrounds — the motocross event is operating within the guidelines of the permits it has been issued. e property itself is not subject to restrictions on the number of permits it can be issued in a calendar year, and motocross falls within the categories of events the fairgrounds can host. Still, the concerns of residents in surrounding neighborhoods who believe the event brings excessive noise to town shouldn’t go ignored. Race organizers have promised to ensure the events continue to follow codes and have said they are interested in coming to a compromise with homeowners in the area. ey hope to add two additional race days to their lineup next summer, but said they’re willing to make some concessions to concerned residents during their upcoming season. e Woodstock Stadium Motocross has enlivened Friday nights in Woodstock, and organizers should be applauded for their efforts. If they and area residents can come to a compromise that pleases both groups, they’ll really have something to cheer about.

for several years now, I was so overwhelmed by the support and generosity of so many at this wonderful event. e Woodstock Police Department and the Woodstock Fire Rescue District were terriﬁc in keeping the runners and walkers safe, but one of the biggest thanks goes to the residents of the Sonatas and Sweetwater subdivisions who welcome us into their neighborhoods each year. We love coming through your neighborhood and hearing your cheering, your encouragement and your clapping. Your generosity and support have provided the gift of health to many. It is what makes the community so special. Tina Hueppe, Huntley

INDE THOUGHT Woodstock’s Trisha Rachford donated a four-inch diameter red oak tree in memory of her father, Fred Rachford. In honor of Fred Rachford’s love of baseball and support for Woodstock

youth athletic programs, the memorial tree will be planted at the top of the hill by the Dream Field baseball diamond in Emricson Park. We thank the Rachford family.

Live, work, have fun, contribute People who live in Woodstock arrived in one of two ways. Some of you were fortunate to have been born in this historic community that dates back to the 1840s. e rest of us chose to move to this community of opportunity in northern Illinois. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m here, not because I was born here, but because my husband, Jim, our three sons and I moved here 30 years ago this week. So each year at this time I remind our sons of the anniversary of our move to Woodstock â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and whether you, my readers, care or not, I remind you, too. Because I feel very fortunate to live here. We moved to Woodstock because Jim was embarking on a new career. For nearly 15 years, we had been working and living at Presbyterianrelated boarding high schools, serving minority youths â&#x20AC;&#x201C; ďŹ rst in Georgia and then in New Mexico. Jim sought new opportunities and meaningful service as a ďŹ nancial adviser. Woodstock had an A.G. Edwards ofďŹ ce, it was an hourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drive from our parents/the childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grandparents, and it was a nice-size, a-little-bit rural, a-little-bit urban community of about 10,000 people.

We are community people. Jim and I grew up on farms near Oswego. Our families were involved in community groups â&#x20AC;&#x201C; church, 4-H, school, Extension, Farm Cheryl Bureau and Farmers Clubs. When we Wormley moved to Woodstock, Declarations we hoped to ďŹ nd community. And we did. Our family arrived in Woodstock the ďŹ rst week of November. e weather was mild. I picked some chrysanthemums in the backyard of our new home that week â&#x20AC;&#x201C; so there hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been a killing frost. Woodstock High School and Marian Central Catholic High School were advancing in football postseason play. e community was spirit-ďŹ lled. We soaked up our new townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s energy that was being fueled by the success of the football teams. e community cheered the Streaks and the Hurricanes on to victory after victory until each won its

respective state championship. We delighted in having moved to a town with its own Veterans Day observance, Christmas parade, Memorial Day gathering and parade, summer band concerts, Fourth of July ďŹ reworks and a park with a swimming pool and toboggan slide. We marveled at the kid-friendliness of the merchants, especially on the Square. Everything about Woodstock beckoned us to join in â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to become involved. So we joined First Presbyterian Church and the Memorial Hospital Association. I joined the Olson School PTO, and Jim joined Kiwanis. We met our neighbors and the parents of our sonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; teammates and school friends. And that was just the beginning. We soon realized Woodstock was fertile ground for being involved and working with others to support public and private schools, launch new community events, found new businesses and address community concerns and challenges. Much has changed in Woodstock in 30 years. e number of residents is now more than 24,000. ere are new schools and different businesses

and stores. Groundhog Days and a host of other special events have been added and are enjoyed annually. In the last three decades, Woodstock built a new police station and, except for a few pillars, a new library. Woodstock has new parks and athletic ďŹ elds and much, much more. But some things never change. Woodstock always needs residents who care about their neighbors and their community. It always needs residents who join in, who support our young people and donate to worthy causes. It needs people who care whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening in local government and run for ofďŹ ce or volunteer for committees and commissions. It needs people who seek the truth, stay informed and vote. I feel unbelievably fortunate to live in Woodstock. Regardless of where you live, I hope you, too, feel fortunate to live in your community. Remember, community isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a given. It takes involvement and commitment from everyone.

been some rain recently. If Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m lucky Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see some turkey tails, which do look like their namesake, albeit much smaller. Look at the stars. Nights are longer now, which means Lisa there is plenty of time to enjoy some Haderlein star gazing and still The Nature of get to bed early. On Things a clear, moonless night, I like to ďŹ nd a dark area in the country, wrap myself in a blanket with a thermos of hot cider, and just look up. ( e new moon was Nov. 3, so this is probably a good time for star gazing. e end of the month should be good, too.) e website www. stargate.org/weeklytips posts a list of celestial events to look for each week. Cassiopeia, Pisces and Pegasus are visible in November as is the Andromeda galaxy, which is in Pegasus. To the naked eye, it will look like a faint smudge. Andromeda is located 2,500,000 light years from Earth, so the light from that smudge took 2.5 million years to reach us. Clean and ďŹ ll the birdfeeders. It

is a good idea to clean bird feeders monthly when in use, but annually at a minimum. e cleaning helps remove bacteria, mold and diseases that can build up on a feeder. If an infected bird uses the feeder, it will pass the illness on to other birds. A solution of one part bleach to nine parts hot water is recommended. Be sure to clean all parts of the feeder. Learn to use a chainsaw. I did this last November, but it was so much fun, I might do it again. Melissa Hormann, e Land Conservancyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s land stewardship specialist, will hold a class to teach people who have never used a chainsaw how to cut down a tree from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 16, at Hennen Conservation Area, 4622 Dean St., Woodstock. Every student will get a chance to cut down a tree. Bring something for lunch, and dress to be outside. Safety equipment will be provided. e class is $10 for TLC members and $20 for nonmembers. Sign up at www.conservemc.org. Something else to look out for in November is deer. is is peak breeding season for deer, so they are a little distracted. eir coloring blends in well with the drab landscape now, so many people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see them

approaching on the side of the road until it is too late. Be especially alert when driving at dusk and dawn. With all of the wonderful natural areas in McHenry County, most parts of the county have deer populations, so stay alert even when driving in built-up areas. TLC will hold its ďŹ rst acorn planting day from 2 to 5 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 9. e inaugural event will take place at the Beeson Conservation Easement north of Chemung at 8216 White Oaks Road, Harvard. e planting will be used to test whether direct seeding of areas with acorns is an effective way to restore oak woodlands. On Speaking of Nature from 6 to 7 p.m. ursday, Nov. 21, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be talking with local business owners about nature-themed gifts to consider this holiday season. Tune in through the website www.harvardcommunityradio. com or on the radio at 1610 AM. Work off some anksgiving calories from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, Nov. 30, at Harvardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gateway Nature Park on Heritage Lane by clearing brush from around some ancient oaks.

Taking advantage of the season November has always been a misďŹ t of a month to me. Fall colors have given way to browns and grays. e bright white of the ďŹ rst snow usually waits until December. Sure, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anksgiving â&#x20AC;&#x201C; my favorite holiday â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but not until the end of the month. Rather than just biding my time until anksgiving this November, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to get out and appreciate the good things this season has to offer: Take a nature hike. One advantage of this pre-winter month is that the weather is cool but not cold. On the next sunny day, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll walk through the woods and enjoy the sound of leaves crunching beneath my feet. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also keep my eyes open for late season mushrooms, particularly if there has

Education WHS soph elected youth president of rights group Roman Rodriguez is the youngest youth president in League of United Latin Citizens history By ELIZABETH HARMON The Independent A Woodstock High School sophomore has been elected youth leader of the nation’s largest Hispanic civil rights organization. Roman “Romey” Rodriguez, son of Eloy Rodriguez and Sylvia Veliz of Woodstock, will serve as national youth president of the League of United Latin American Citizens. “I learned about it in June,” said Rodriguez, who previously served as youth vice president of the organization’s Midwest

division last year. “I ran against three or four other people across the nation.” His responsibilities will include traveling to national LULAC board meetings, held quarterly, and helping regional youth vice presidents organize the LULAC Summer Youth Event, which will be held in New York City this July. e three-day youth conference will feature workshops, panel discussions, an education and career forum, an award ceremony and dance. e conference will take place within the adult LULAC National Convention and Exposition, which is expected to draw more than 20,000 participants including leaders in government, business, education and the Hispanic community. Rodriguez began his involvement with LULAC a few years ago, encouraged by his aunt, Maggie Rivera of Crystal Lake, who serves as the national board treasurer. “I liked what [LULAC] was about, so I

went to a national convention in Cincinnati in 2011, and knew I wanted to get more involved,” Rodriguez said. He said the group’s commitment to education appealed to him and reﬂected his Roman interests in politics Rodriguez and a possible career as an attorney. “I’ve met people through LULAC who are lawyers, and it’s inﬂuencing me to choose that as a major in college,” he said. A number of his LULAC contacts are Ivy League graduates. “For me, that’s the dream, but right now, I’m just focusing on high school,” Rodriguez said. His school involvement includes student council, sophomore class council, Choose Respect and the tennis team. He also is an honors student. “I have a lot of admiration for him,” said WHS Principal Corey Tafoya. “He’s been thrust into a leadership role with LULAC and is also involved at school, and seems to be handling it very well. He’s a bright, talented kid.” Rivera said her nephew’s involvement with LULAC will help prepare him for

whatever career he chooses. “It will teach him how to debate, how to research and better understand issues, and develop his interpersonal skills,” she said. At 16, Rodriguez is LULAC’s youngestever youth president. Also elected to the youth board is Sergio Perez of Crystal Lake, a Crystal Lake Central High School senior, who was elected as youth treasurer. Rodriguez and Perez are also the ﬁrst Midwesterners to serve on the LULAC Youth Board. “ ese kids have made history,” said Rivera. LULAC, the largest Latino advocacy and civil rights group in America, was established in 1929. Across many regions of the U.S., particularly in the Southwest, Hispanics — especially Mexicans — faced similar discrimination as African-Americans in the South. Segregated drinking fountains, restrooms and schools for whites and Mexicans were commonplace. e organization worked on behalf of school integration, voter registration and other causes from the 1950s through 1970s. Now its focus is on immigration reform, economic and educational empowerment, citizenship advocacy and more. Each year, the organization provides more than $1 million in scholarships to Hispanic college students.

A book battle brews in schools By JANET DOVIDIO The Independent Battle of the Books is an annual competition that tests the knowledge of Woodstock School District 200 fourthand ﬁfth-graders. Students combine into two-to-four-member teams by grade. ey are given the “battle list” of 20 to 25 books which the team members divide among themselves so every book is read before the April competition. “Good readers, reluctant readers and all kinds of readers form teams,” said Melinda Parrent, District 200 curriculum area specialist for libraries. “In addition to promoting reading, Battle of the Books provides students an opportunity for real-life teamwork and problem solving, as well as learning time management and good sportsmanship.” Since teams accumulate points while completing books, Parrent keeps a running scoreboard in the library at Olson Elementary School, where she is the library media specialist. e team members must be well-versed about each author. One student told Parrent that since he was not a fast reader and might read fewer books, he would volunteer to be the team’s author expert. Teams earn extra points for knowing authors of the battle books. Each District 200 school’s library media specialist manages a Battle of the Books program. Many schools pair for inter-school competitions. Last year’s tri-school tournament included

Olson, Westwood and Dean Street elementary schools. During competition, a team only has 30 seconds to answer each question. Fifty-nine fourth- and ﬁfth-graders participated in Olson’s 2012 Battle of the Books. “ rough the Battle of the Books,” Parrent said, “students discover new authors and read genres they typically don’t read. ey read independently and discuss the books with their teammates.” ĐĐĐ ĐĐĐ

Boosters aim to ‘Invest’ e Academic Booster Club at Woodstock High School was created last year to supplement academic opportunities for the school’s students through fundraisers called Invest In Your Child. “We already have support groups for athletics, theater and music,” said WHS principal Corey Tafoya. “We needed funding for ﬁeld trips and classroom enhancements.” e group raises money through various fundraisers, such as an event at Panera Bread this month called “Eat Bread to Raise Dough.” Last year’s proceeds were used for several classroom programs and for technology-related purchases. “ e Academic Boosters provide opportunities for projects not in our budget,” Tafoya said. “ eir efforts beneﬁt the entire school population.” News of recognitions and milestones can be sent to Janet Dovidio at fetjetjd@aol.com.

A&E ‘The Nerd’ drops in at the Opera House By SANDY KUCHARSKI The Independent TownSquare Players is up to the challenge of making the audience laugh with their upcoming production, “ e Nerd,” scheduled to open Friday, Nov. 8, at the Woodstock Opera House. “Comedies are serious business, because they are very difficult to do,” said Roger Zawacki, the director of “ e Nerd.” e play, by Larry Shue, follows the events that take place one evening when seven regular people find themselves in an unbelievably ridiculous situation. Zawacki said the show follows the script of the original play that opened on Broadway in 1987, with the TownSquare Players’ own take on the material. e show is new to the Woodstock Opera House, fulfilling one of the goals of the TownSquare Players to put on new productions. is will be the fifth show Zawacki has directed for the theater group. e cast of seven, chosen from a field

As they near the end of seven weeks of rehearsal, Zawacki said, “ e challenge has been getting as much humor out of the show as we can without knowing when the audience is going to laugh, because we’re doing it in a vacuum here.” e awkward situation that exists between the characters gets totally outrageous in the second half of the play. “We’re doing some wild and crazy things here. To me it’s hysterically funny,” Zawacki said. Paul Lockwood, who plays Warnack Walgrave, wanted to try out because he had previously appeared in “ e Foreigner,” another show by Shue. “It was a chance to be in a funny comedy that I knew would make people laugh,” said Lockwood, a veteran Woodstock Opera House performer of more than 20 shows. “I think the audience will be able to relate to one or more of us and the agony that we go through as we deal with the situation of someone who has pushed all of our buttons,” Lockwood said. “As you see the characters deal with that, you can feel the pain, and it’s laughable pain. I’m almost 99 percent sure people will laugh at this show.” Lockwood also noted that the show is family-friendly. TownSquare Players has reduced ticket prices for the

The five-minute favor If you Google “five-minute rule,” you get a wide variety of website topics – from computer programming to acceptable wait periods for a teacher to show up for class to a pro forma Congressional rule to a band based in Madison, Wis. But when you add “Adam Rifkin” to the search, you get a series of articles stemming from Adam Grant’s new book “Give and Take: A Revolutionary Approach to Success.” Rifkin is a successful entrepreneur who co-founded a John software company. Buckley He has developed Minding Your the five-minute favor: “You should Business be willing to do something that will take you five minutes or less for anybody.” Grant uses Rifkin as an example in a bigger treatise on three kinds of people – givers, matchers and takers – and posits that givers are more likely to be successful in business and life than the other two. According to Grant, Rifkin is a successful giver. Grant further divides the giver category into selfless givers and “otherish.” Selfless givers have a high level of interest in others, but low self-interest. According to Grant, successful givers are “otherish” – they care about helping others, but they have their own ambitions and goals. Grant called the five-minute favor a microloan with time as the currency. Many people ascribe Silicon Valley’s competitive edge to a culture of five-minute favors. In the last chapter of the book, Grant writes about ways to put the five-minute favor into action. He highlights Rifkin’s top two ways: Make a connection – look through your contacts and find two people with an uncommon commonality and introduce them via email. Provide feedback – if someone asks you for your opinion – whether on an idea or to review a resume, perhaps to proof a document – give it. I regularly ask for someone’s perspective. (Asking for favors will be the subject for a future column.) ere are other ways to favor: Serve as a reference – certainly for people, but even beyond that, be a reference for a service or a product. Share an idea – sometimes we hit on an idea for someone else. Share it. I would not be so bold as to claim that I have my own version of this rule. However, it made sense to me. It’s in line with what I do – at least I like to think this is how I behave and relate. I know I benefited from others taking a few minutes to help me. So, I am too. Before you ask, “no,” I don’t own a truck and helping you move takes more than five minutes. John Buckley is the director of Adult and Child Therapy Services. Buckley has more than 15 years of nonprofit and business experience.

New real estate office opens on Square By KATELYN STANEK The Independent Rob Schaid has been in the real estate business for 16 years, and he said for 15 of them, he’s wanted an office in Woodstock. “ is is very exciting for me,” said Schaid, managing broker and owner of ReMax Plaza. “Woodstock is the heart of the county.” e real estate company, based in McHenry, recently opened its newest office on the Woodstock Square at 112 N. Benton St. ReMax Plaza also has locations in Richmond and Wauconda. For Schaid, who bought the firm from his father in 2006, real estate has been a longtime interest. He began selling property at age 23 and said he especially enjoys the experience of working with first-time homeowners. “ e best part is helping a homebuyer, when you help them buy their first home,” Schaid said. “It’s a very exciting

time for them.” e broker said he believes the local real estate market, long dormant, is on its way to a recovery. A report from the Multiple Listing Service released in the summer showed the number of single-family homes sold in the area over a six-month period was up nearly 20 percent over the same period last year. “It’s deﬁnitely on an upswing,” Schaid said. “ ere’s less inventory than there was a year ago and more homes are selling, so it doesn’t take a genius to ﬁgure out how supply and demand works.” ReMax Plaza realtor Kim Keefe agreed. “ is year has been my best year in the business, and last year was my best year previously,” said Keefe, who has worked in the real estate industry since 1999. “ ere are certainly more homes moving now. We’re really digging our way out house by house.” is is part of the reason Schaid said

he took the opportunity to expand ReMax Plaza into Woodstock. He said transforming the new space into a contemporary office took about two months. “Moving on the Square was something that really appealed to me,” he said. “ e new style is a cafe-style office, where you have an open workspace. … e goal is to create a comfortable environment for the real estate agents [and] homebuyers.” Keefe said she appreciates the features of the firm’s Benton Street office. “I had no idea how much I was going to enjoy being on the Square,” said Keefe. “It was probably my first day on the Square that I said that.”

State celebrations, local recognition By LISA KUCHARSKI The Independent In honor of the organization’s centennial anniversary, the University of Illinois Extension is seeking stories, photos and artifacts from individuals and Extension units throughout the state to include in its online scrapbook. With it’s ﬁrst annual Hall of Fame celebration Nov. 1, the Extension of McHenry County will have it’s own story to share. “We’re a unique organization that’s been around for 100 years helping people,” said county director James Reaves. From now until the spring, the state Extension is encouraging Extension constituents, former and present 4-H members, Master Gardeners, volunteers and anyone who has been a part of the Extension to share their experiences on the online scrapbook. Reaves said McHenry County has more than 80 years of history and many involved individuals who can highlight some of its greatest moments. In an effort to highlight some of the county’s ﬁnest individuals, the Extension of McHenry County inducted 10 individuals – including Amy Carzoli, Nancy Moore, omas Dahlfors and Ju-

dith Corson of Woodstock – as well as the McHenry County Farm Bureau, the McHenry County Fair Association and La Rosita Supermarket in Crystal Lake into the ﬁrst annual Hall of Fame. “It’s a celebration of achievements for our volunteers, stakeholders and staff in different areas,” Reaves said. “ ese people have worked with us for a number of years, and they have volunteered with us in some way to promote the Extension in the community.” Inductee omas Dahlfors, who grew up in William’s Bay, Wis., raising poultry chickens, has served on local, regional and state Extension advisory boards for several years, representing the state’s program in Washington, D.C., each April. “I think it’s an honor to be involved,” Dahlfors said. “I’m just amazed at the contributions. When you look at the different aspects of what some people have done, you feel like you’ve done nothing. It’s incredible.” For lifelong 4-H’er and volunteer Judy Corson, Nov. 1 marked her third Hall of Fame recognition. “I was very honored to be selected, but to me, my reward is watching each one of [the youth] succeed,” Corson said. “It all

Let’s talk (no) turkey “ anksgiving dinner’s sad and thankless. Christmas dinner’s dark and blue. When you stop and try to see it From the turkey’s point of view.” — Shel Silverstein If you are vegetarian and the rest of your family and friends are not, you will likely come to that moment when you need to ﬁgure out how to serve an important … say, holiday … meal. For many years, I prepared two meals. Difﬁcult. I like to cook and take pride in good results. Cooking without tasting is like, well, driving a car with your eyes closed. Don’t much want to go there. One year, I decided to bite the proverbial bullet. I relented on my principle of no manufactured food and bought a soy “turkey,” a brand which will remain unnamed. Shaped like a ball with twine around it, it looked like a basketball. It even had its own little package of (no)

turkey gravy. I made everything else my family loved: mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, peas, cranberries, breads, desserts. en there was the (no) turkey. Back in the kitchen, I arranged my (no) Leslie turkey as nicely as one Cook can arrange a basketball on a platter. It still Vegetating With had the appearance Leslie of a basketball, but a nicely arranged and decorated one. Everyone was waiting. I brought it out and placed it on the table. Stunned silence. Finally, one of my sons spoke. “Really, Mom?” Another of my sons, old enough to know better, did what one usually does with a basketball. He “passed” it to his brother, who unfortunately missed it. It landed on the floor, and my beagles, who would eat anything without even sniffing, rushed toward it … stopped, sniffed, and walked away! OK, so that didn’t work. After that year, though, I was determined to find a delicious, festive vegetarian anksgiving entree. ese stuffed pumpkins have sold

out every year in my cafe. e perfect entree for a veggie crowd, they are also an impressive side dish for people who require a real turkey. Stuffed pumpkin Ingredients: 1 sugar pumpkin 2 cups (uncooked) brown Basmati rice 2 cups (cooked) chickpeas 4 cups almonds/raisins/craisins/apple slices 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons sugar 2 teaspoons cinnamon Pinch hot paprika Directions: Cut off top of pumpkin. Cut stem to 2 inches. Scrape out seeds. Season inside of pumpkin with a mix of 1 teaspoon olive oil and 1 teaspoon honey (or unﬁltered sugar for vegans). Rub outside of pumpkin with olive oil. Roast one hour at 350 degrees. Saute two cups brown rice in 1 tablespoon olive oil and add 4 cups water and cook until tender. Set aside. Sauté almonds, raisins, craisins and apple slices in the remaining olive oil, sugar, cinnamon and a pinch hot paprika. Add to rice with chickpeas. Stir together and re-season the inside of the pumpkin.

Fill pumpkin loosely, replace pumpkin lid, wrap loosely in foil. Roast one hour at 325 degrees. Apples and cranberries Ingredients: 3 baking apples 6 cloves 1 pound bag cranberries Pinch cinnamon Juice of 1 orange 2 tablespoons honey (or unfiltered sugar for vegans) 1/4 - 1/2 cup white sesame, toasted Directions: Halve and oil the apples. Bake with cinnamon and cloves at 325 degrees. For sauce, juice orange and add honey (or sugar). Reduce sauce. Add cranberries and cook very briefly. Remove cranberries. Reduce sauce further. Recombine sauce and berries. Just before serving: Warm remaining stuffing and apples separately. Plate pumpkin and surround with extra stuffing. Place roasted apples on stuffing around pumpkin. Top apples with cranberry sauce. Garnish with white sesame. Leslie Cook is owner of Expressly Leslie Vegetarian Specialties, 110 S. Johnson St.

Walking man’s best friend For most of my life I have had a dog. e only time I can remember not having a dog is when I was in college and the last two years. My wife and I have had three dogs, all English springer spaniels – Mustache, Spot and Karson. ey were all great dogs, and they all loved to walk. Spot loved to chase the ball more than walking, but she also was a heck of a walker. About four weeks ago, we rescued an English springer spaniel mix (not sure what the mix is) named Atticus. One of my co-workers had told me about him – how he was a surrender and how he was scheduled to be put to sleep. e day we picked him up, we knew

that Atticus would be part of our family. He was malnourished and ﬁlthy. We cleaned him up, fed him, and he took to us immediately. He was deﬁnitely house trained, which has Jay made our life easy. Most importantly Schulz to me, he loves to Jay Walking walk. Every morning and evening he joins me on my walk. I would say he is getting 2 to 4 miles every day, and I am sure he can do more eventually. He has become a great walking partner, and, eventually, I will start taking him on my McHenry County Conservation District adventures. I passed the 500-mile mark this month. I’ve averaged about 4.2 miles per day for the past four months. I don’t see making much of a change in my current program. I think I am basically locked down until next spring. I added two conservation district sites to my list this month – Marengo Ridge, Marengo, and Harrison Benwell,

Volleyball regional Bucci said the victory over the Rockets was extremely enjoyable. “ at was really awesome because of the hard loss we suffered last year,” Bucci said. “It was really gratifying, and we worked really hard for it. ose were deﬁnitely the most exciting games we had all season because of the rivalry.” e championship match against Johnsburg pitted two evenly matched teams. “I think it was two teams that fought tooth and nail for it,” Watling said. “We hadn’t played Johnsburg this year, but we had seen them play and we knew they were capable of that kind of play.” Watling said Johnsburg was the best passing team they had played all year and that Marian was unable to sustain its offense for more than a few points in a row. “ ey did a very good job putting the ball over the net and putting us in a fast transition,” Watling said. “ e biggest

problem in our game was we had a lot of unforced errors. When you are playing against a good team who is playing pretty clean volleyball, you can’t afford unforced errors.” For seniors Frankie Taylor, Hannah Davis and Bucci, this is their third consecutive regional championship. “It’s really awesome,” Bucci said “We’re so lucky and blessed to have gotten this opportunity.” e Lady ’Canes will play Regina Dominican, Wilmette, at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 5, in the IHSA Class 3A sectional tournament at Burlington Central High School. e Lady ’Canes have watched film of their upcoming opponent, and Bucci said she is confident they can compete. “I think we have a good shot, but we’re not going to underestimate our opponent because every team at this point wants to be in it,” Bucci said. “Every team is going to fight, and we have to prepare for that.”

Season ends for WHS, WNHS Woodstock High School defeated host Woodstock North High School 27-29, 25-22 and 25-21 Oct. 28 in the first round of the IHSA Class 3A regional tournament and lost to Johnsburg 0-2 (18-25, 7-25) Oct. 29. WNHS head coach Greg Bruns said the match was extremely close. “It was extremely tight,” Bruns said. “Both teams played well. ey fought hard. It was a good and bad way to end the season. It was a good match. I just wish it would have gone the other way.” e under finished the season 7-22 and had 10 seniors. “I have two sophomores that played varsity this year,” Bruns said. “And we had some juniors that played junior varsity and a couple of nice sophomores coming up. More girls are trying out for club. Hopefully, we’ll be stronger. e girls are really into the program.” WHS head coach Meghan Mullaney said she was very happy with her first season. “It was everything I could have asked for,” Mullaney said. “I had the nicest group of girls. ey would do anything for me and each other.

was not ready for it to end.” Mullaney said she believes better days are ahead for the Blue Streak program. “I have a lot of talent at lower levels,” Mullaney said. “ e sophomore team has a lot of freshmen that moved up. I’m thinking in the next couple of years, if I can get the underclassmen [on the varsity] and if I can get the underclassmen to work me to start on varsity, that’s how you build a program. When they’ve played together for three years, who knows where we’ll be.” WHS ﬁnished the season 8-27. — Jay Schulz, The Independent

Wonder Lake. Both have nice walking trails, but they are extremely different. Harrison Benwell is only 74 acres and easy to traverse, while Marengo Ridge is more than 800 acres and some of the hiking trails are fairly advanced. I really like Marengo Ridge, although once I got near the back of the site, I began to wonder if the hiking trail ever ended. What do I have planned for this month? I need to continue to add to my MCCD sites. I plan to visit Coral Woods and the H.U.M. Trail, both in Marengo. Also, I plan

to visit the Hennen Conservation Area, which is located south of Woodstock and run by e Land Conservancy of McHenry County. Of course there will be a lot more walking. I’ll keep the same daily distance. Maybe in a month or two I will get brave and add more. Eventually I need to do a 10-mile day. Maybe soon. Who knows? At least now I’m not walking alone.

Marian soccer stalls at sectionals Hurricanes’ offense can’t muster a goal in playoff game By JAY SCHULZ The Independent e Marian Central Catholic High School boys soccer team had its hands full Oct. 30 against Vernon Hills in the IHSA Class 2A sectional tournament at Grayslake North High School, as the Cougars entered the match having scored 13 goals in the playoffs. e Hurricanes defense was stout, allowing only one goal, but their offense was unable to get the ball into the net, leading to a 1-0 loss and the end of the season. Conditions were not optimal, with the game starting in a light drizzle and ﬁnishing in a downpour. Marian’s ﬁrst-year head coach, Jim Colvin, said the rain really wasn’t an issue until late in the game. He was proud of how the team played. “I thought we played really well,” Colvin said. “We had an opportunity about three minutes into the game,

Our game %RWK WHDPV plan was spoton and we re- KDG WR ÀJKW ally did execute for opporwell.” Colvin said WXQLWLHV WR the coaching VFRUH µ staff felt the — Jim Colvin, coach game would be close and were predicting a 2-1 final score. “I though it was a pretty evenly matched game,” Colvin said. “It was truly a midfield battle. Both teams had to fight for opportunities to score. ey got one opportunity close to the net, but a lot of their shots were from the outside, and [Jake] Higgins was able to get on top of all of them. “We just didn’t get the two goals we needed.” Colvin praised the play of Higgins, the team’s sophomore goalkeeper, who had 12 saves.

Higgins said he was extremely pleased with the team’s turnaround from last fall. “It was really good, especially since we lost in the first round last year,” Higgins said. “Last year was a horrible season, and it was good to have success in conference and to win the regional.” Marian finished the season 13-6-1 and loses only senior Riley Blaz. “ e future is bright for this program,” Colvin said. “We have several freshmen that have high potential. I brought five up for the playoffs, but there are a couple more that I am interested in for next year.” “We’ll be around for a while,” Higgins said. “We’ve got a lot of good players, and we have good freshmen coming up every year. We’ll have a solid lineup the next couple of years.” Colvin said he enjoyed his first year coaching for the program and is looking forward to next year. “I thought it was fantastic,” Colvin said. “ e kids were great, and coaching for Marian was a great experience.”

2) Nov. 1, the Hurricanes have left little doubt they will challenge long-time rival Montini in round two. “I thought the team played well overall,” said Marian head coach Ed Brucker. “We played very aggressive. If we did make a mistake, they came back the next time and corrected it. “[Bremen] wasn’t a bad team. We made them look bad. ey had some weapons.” Marian (8-2) created the perfect storm for Bremen in the first round by setting up a 67-yard touchdown run for senior running back Ephraim Lee (9-132) just after Marian’s first snap of the game. With 6:49 to go in the first quarter, the Hurricanes scored again when quarterback Billy Bahl (5-9-167) connected with senior receiver Tom Klinger (2-22). But while impressive, neither of the Hurricanes’ first two scoring drives were as telling of their potential as a team as their next drive, when they found themselves in a greater position to work as a team and drive to the end zone.

It was on this drive that the Bremen defense, wet conditions and a fourth down challenged the ’Canes, and still they had an answer. Under pressure, Bahl completed a pass to the 1-yard line. Shortly thereafter, he ran in Marian’s third touchdown of the quarter. Every time that Bremen tried to build momentum in the second quarter, Marian further asserted dominance. With 8:45 on the clock, Lee scored again thanks to senior linebacker Chris Daniels returning an interception to the 13-yard line. e Hurricanes rolled out the quarter with two more passing touchdowns to junior receiver Jordan Niemeyer (1-9) and senior tight end Tanner Spoden (1-22) to assert a 42-0 halftime lead. “We were expecting it to be a tough game,” said junior defensive end Matt Ricchiuto, who had a hand in more than one sack during the ﬁrst quarter and chipped in a reception for a 14yard gain. “We went into it as hard as we could. Everyone did their own job and worked to their potential.” With their lead greater than 40

points, the second half switched to a running clock. e lead provided sophomore quarterbacks Kolten Rominski and J.R. Budmayr opportunities to take turns leading the offense. “We were firing on all cylinders,” said Klinger. “I felt confident in the team, and we were confident in the game plan. We stuck with what the coaches told us, and it went well for us.” Junior Chris Curnutt (4-13), senior C.J. Wightman (1-3), Klinger (1-9), and Rominski (1-4) added to Marian’s 148 yards rushing. Curnutt also logged one reception during the evening. e Hurricanes will host Montini (10-0) at 6 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 9. Brucker said his team needs to be prepared to match the Broncos intensity. “We played terrible on defense the first game,” Brucker said. “We played good on offense. We just need to step it up on defense. Montini seems to turn it on in the playoffs and we need to be able to match them.”

Jacobs placed 10th with a time of 18:24.4 and said she was happy to earn the opportunity to race at state. WHS competed in the Peoria Invite at Detweiler Park in September, so she knows the course. “It’s exciting to be there again,” Jacobs said of the course in Peoria. “It’s a pretty flat and easy course. It will be really cool to look back and know that I went to state as a freshman.” “Kate and Maura ran great,” McCulley said. “Kate, as a freshman, just threw herself out there. Maura’s been running strong and tough since June. at’s been great to see.” Luke Beattie placed eighth with a time of 15:37.3. Beattie, who has been to the state meet several times to watch his older sisters compete, said he was excited to earn his first trip, as a runner, to state. “It’s going to be pretty exciting,” he said. “I finished in the 30s last year [at sectionals], and I knew I needed to be in the top 10. I just hung in there. It worked out for me. “It’s going to be pretty cool, I’ve been to state multiple times to watch my sisters. I’ve always said I wanted to make my way down there. … I wanted to be the next one to go down.” “Luke finally broke out of that wait and let the pack go [mentality], and he’s put himself up into a front-runner status,” McCulley said.“All three have a chance to be all-state next week, which is going to be really exciting. It would be nice to put a couple more plaques on the wall.” Marian Central e Marian Central girls team finished 11th with 279 points and the boys team finished 12th with 335 points Nov. 2 in the IHSA Class A sectional meet at Oregon High School. “I thought our teams ran really well,” said Marian head coach Jon Lakemacher. “It’s a very difficult sectional.” Abigail Jones finished eighth with a time of 19:58. “It’s remarkable,” Lakemacher said. “It’s such a great story. I’ve never coached a freshman that’s had as much poise and a passion for running that she has.” “I’m excited,” said Jones, who is hoping to finish in the top 25. “I’m so glad I have the opportunity to do it. It’s going to be a cool experience. … I’m going to run my hardest and do my best.” Jones has never run at Detweiler Park and said she is looking forward to the opportunity. It’s going to be a good experience,” Jones said. “I’m going to get to know the course. … Being able to run it, if I make it next year, will definitely give me an advantage over the people who haven’t run it.” Woodstock North Four Woodstock North high runners competed in the Class 2A meet at Belvidere and none of them qualified for state. Sophomore Isabella Mazzanti finished 62nd with at time of 19:54.8; sophomore Jesse Long finished 83rd with a time of 17:03.7; senior Cullen Andersen finished 86th with a time of 17:04.10; and senior Sergio Rodriguez finished 115th with a time of 17:29.50. “I thought everybody who came out today ran well and put themselves in the mix and competed,” said WNHS head coach Dan Kremske. “Maybe some of them didn’t do as well as they hoped but I am very proud of how they competed all season.” Kremske said it was good for team members to see the environment at the sectional race given the boys team just missed qualifying for the sectional meet. “Hopefully they will see the environment here [at the sectional meet] and they will try to build for next year,” Kremske said.
