City creates position for grant writer By KATELYN STANEK The Independent e city of Woodstock is set to hire a part-time grant writer

whose job will entail applying for funding for various municipal projects. e creation of the new position, approved by the Woodstock City

Council at its Aug. 6 meeting, is an attempt to streamline the city’s approach to applying for grant funding, according to City Manager Roscoe Stelford.

“What we’ve done in the past is what we call a ‘decentralized approach,’” Stelford said. “We’ve asked each department to go out and look for grants that relate to their departments. I think a centralized approach is probably a better method.” Among the projects Stelford

identified as having the potential to benefit from grants were the restoration of the Old Courthouse and funding for Public Action to Deliver Shelter. “ ere’s a whole host of needs for the city,” Stelford said. Mayor Brian Sager said he Please see Grant writer, Page 3

Students head back to class in Woodstock By LISA KUCHARSKI The Independent With school starting Aug. 15, Woodstock School District 200 is adjusting to its crew of new teachers, while children and parents scramble to prepare for the “first day.” Parent Katie Warmbier said she is doing her best to adapt to the schedules, the enrollment processes

and the fees with her first freshman in high school, her first-ever preschooler and an athletically active middle-schooler. “It’s busy,” she said. “I literally had to go out and buy another one of those dry-erase calendar boards, because I don’t have any more room on my other one. It’s crazy, but it’s fun and exciting.” Warmbier and husband Matt, Woodstock High School alumni, are sending their oldest, Jared, 14, to their alma mater. Warmbier said the registration process has

Just going from eighth grade to high school it’s kind of rough, because I didn’t know what to do.” While she said her children are looking Please see School, Page 2

e Square’s Old Courthouse could remain on the public books for the foreseeable future, something that would signal a departure from the city’s plans to sell the building to a private buyer and which could put the town on the hook for millions of dollars in additional repairs. at possibility was just one of a few potential outcomes discussed at a June planning meeting of City Council members and city staff. eir discussion on the courthouse centered on the feasibility of retaining ownership of the historic building if a private buyer — someone willing and able to cover more than $2.5 million in necessary repairs and renovations — could not be found. “If, for whatever reason, we weren’t able to find someone in the private sector interested in purchasing and repairing the courthouse, the city would have to look at its next step,” said City Manager Roscoe Stelford. “... But that’s step three or four. We’re still on step one.” For now, city officials say they will continue to look for private buyers for the courthouse, with staff members working on a request for proposals that could come this fall. Stelford said “one or two” buyers have shown some limited interest in purchasing the property, but at the planning meeting, Mayor Brian Please see Courthouse, Page 7

forward to seeing their friends and going to school, she is not so eager about the costs that accompany registration and activities. With clothes and supplies for school, and shoes, gear and equipment for sports, Warmbier said she has a lot of budgeting to do. She said Jared plans to play soccer and basketball at WHS and Caleb, 12, will be involved in band, football, track and basketball or wrestling at Creekside Middle School. Warmbier said she also will have to adjust to the new experience of tracking her 3-year-old daughter Teagan’s progress at Grace Lutheran Preschool, but she’s excited to see the results. According to the 2013-2014 D-200 Student Fee Schedule, registration fees, not including extra-curricular, athletic or musical activities, are $90 for ½ day prekindergarten and kindergarten; $115 for full-day kindergarten, grades one through five, and grades six through eight; and $160 for grades nine through 12. Driver’s education is $250, high

school athletics are $80 each; middle school athletics are $70 each; and band and choir are $70 each. While students and parents were preparing for the mid-August start, D-200 was readying an estimated 1,025 staff members, including 42 administrators and 407 teachers, to educate about 6,600 students. Carol Smith, director of community services for D-200, said more than 60 teachers were hired this year. She said very few of the positions are new, with some openings in special education, but a majority are just due to attrition. “ is is one of the largest classes of new teachers we have had,” Smith said. Among the hires are teachers transitioning to administrative roles, including Art Vallicelli, assistant principal at WHS, formerly an English teacher there; Bethany Hall, assistant principal at Northwood Middle School, formerly the mathematics department chair at WHS; Christine Brown, teacher facilitator at Verda Dierzen Early

Learning Center, formerly a social worker at Olson Elementary School; and Chelsea Baird, teacher facilitator at Creekside Middle School, formerly a math teacher at WHS. Aside from implementing the Common Core State Standards Initiative, Smith said there are no other new major district-wide programs or initiatives this year. As students return to school and the streets get busier, the Woodstock Police Department advises pedestrians and drivers to be alert. Road construction this August and buses out on their routes will slow traffic, so drivers are advised to leave some extra time for their commutes. “Drivers need to pay attention to their driving habits, especially in school zones, and I would suggest pedestrians pay attention to the drivers, just in case,” said Sergeant Charles Amati. “Always look before you cross.” Amati said Chicago found there were speeding problems in school zones when

the mayor had speed cameras installed and tested. According to an Aug. 12 report by the Chicago Tribune, a monthlong speed camera test recorded 93,000 speeders at just four of the 50 potential locations. In the test period, the City would have generated $4.7 million in ticket revenue. While Woodstock is not large enough to necessitate speed cameras, Amati said speeding in school zones is a common and unsafe occurrence.

Stop sign proposal voted down by council By LISA KUCHARSKI The Independent e Woodstock City Council voted against an ordinance at its Aug. 6 meeting that would have led to the installation of a stop sign at the intersection of Country Club and Bull Valley roads. After the council tabled the item in July, Councilwoman Julie Dillon said city staff sent out 180 questionnaires to residents, asking for their input. She said 61 responses were collected, with 39 in favor of and 22 opposed to making the intersection a four-way stop. “It’s not a really strong showing either way,” Dillon said. Michelle Krenger, a resident on Country Club Road, spoke to the council and said a stop sign would be dangerous

Grant writer believes hiring a grant writer will reduce the city’s dependence on tax revenue. “I think, as with any service which is being provided in today’s public arena, we have to be cognizant of how much things cost and where the dollars are going to come from,” Sager said. “We know it’s very challenging for residents to continue to pay higher taxes, so it’s incumbent on us to continue to look for other ways to pay for things.” e job will be available to internal, fulltime city staff. e person hired will work on grant applications for up to 20 hours a week in addition to his or her other duties, while a part-time employee will be added

because a crest and curve on Country Club Road would hinder drivers’ views of a stop sign. “I really do not believe there should be a stop sign there,” Krenger said. “ ere’s no reason for it. I think we are way jumping the gun on this one.” Krenger said she believed the traffic flow is not heavy enough to justify a stop sign. Citing questions of safety and other concerns brought up by Krenger, her husband, Marty, and others, the City Council voted against the ordinance. ose safety concerns included stoppingsight distance, the curve and crest in the road, and difficulty stopping caused by weather conditions. To alleviate further safety issues, the council directed members of the Department of Public

Works to trim back vegetation around the intersection. Mayor Brian Sager, who was at the Illinois State Fair serving as livestock superintendent, attended the meeting by telephone and said he agreed the stop sign is not necessary at the present time. He added the issue could be revisited once a planned dog park in Bull Valley opens. Sager said if traffic in the area increases, the stop sign may be reconsidered. “At the onset, I was somewhat supportive, but I must say that I’ve heard a lot from residents that this is just not the thing that they believe that we should be doing at the present time,” Sager said. e council voted unanimously against adding the stop sign at the intersection,

WHS installs solar panels as part of green initiative Alternative energy and plans to grow produce in a rooftop garden top the school’s environmental efforts By LISA KUCHARSKI The Independent Woodstock High School is “going green” with the installation of six solar panels and a plan to grow local produce in a rooftop garden. With the help of six students, Bill Donato, a Woodstock High School environmental science teacher, wrote a grant to Illinois Solar Schools and obtained $8,000 to purchase six solar panels to install on the roof of the school. The panels were installed July 30. “They’re not producing a lot of energy — it’s more for learning about solar energy, ” Donato said. Donato said each panel is 275 watts, totaling about 1.5 kilowatts. He said the panels should create enough energy to sustain the functions of the school’s greenhouse, but the energy is put back into the school’s general usage. Donato said he will incorporate solar panel monitoring into his curricula, and he hopes to create conservation awareness for the students and community and eventually to purchase more solar panels. “What we’re hoping is, as we start to document this information, that our school actually realizes the advantages, economically and environmentally of conservation.” With the goal of “turning school buildings into hands-on science experiments,” Illinois Solar Schools grants money to teach students how their everyday actions can positively impact the environment. Its grant to WHS covers 90 percent or up to $8,000, whichever is less, of the system cost and installation. Illinois Solar Schools is sponsored by the Illinois Clean Energy Community Foundation.

Donato said he took bids for a certified solar installer and chose one that agreed to reduce the cost if he had help. WHS environmental science alumni Josh and Zach Sabos and Tyler Donato assisted with installation. Last school year, seniors Wyatt Meyer and Chelsea Fosse and seniors Graham Ellinghausen, James Sullivan, Sam Woodson and Megan Hughes worked together to determine placement of the panels so they would efficiently absorb light and be visible to the public. “None of these things are going to do a whole lot by themselves,” Meyer said. “But, if this opens the door for other green and environmental practices, I think we did our job. It’s a good pathway for the future of green technology at the school and possibly for the community.” To meet requirements of the grant, Donato said the panels were made visible to the public by placing them on the roof above the greenhouse, facing south. WHS also will host a “solar-bration,” a celebration for the school to make the community aware of the project. Donato said it most likely will be during homecoming week in October. He said he also is awaiting a response to a $1,000 grant request he wrote to the Solar Star Foundation in West Dundee for an additional solar panel. District 200 Superintendent Ellyn Wrzeski approved the project and the board of education provided $5,000 for railings on the roof to meet safety codes. “We’re really looking at that issue of sustainability, and we were really glad that we got some funds so we could support this project,” Wrzeski said. “I applaud Bill for going ahead and taking initiative to get the grant. It’s a really nice learning tool and a

nice way to be more energy conscious and energy efficient.” The other green-effort on the roof is the rooftop garden, which will extend over a railed-off portion of the school’s roof outside of the greenhouse. Donato said the rooftop garden has been an item of discussion for the past eight years, and, finally, the garden is becoming a reality. By selling donated ink cartridges from Other World Computing, the Green Club has been raising funds for the garden. With the garden, students will grow food for the cafeteria and can extend

the growing season of its produce by placing protective hoops over the plants. Donato said the rooftop is ideal because plants will benefit from a full light-cycle, and it is the largest garden space at the school. Along with the Green Club, environmental science and other science classes will be able to use the new learning space. “The best part about the new projects is that they’re so hard to do. After we complete them, you just feel great,” said junior Julio Puga, president of the Green Club. “You’re leaving something behind for the next people who come.”

Schools need community support It may seem early, but it’s that time of year again — back-to-school season. Students in Woodstock School District 200 head back to class this week, but some parents, teachers, students and staff members have already put in hard work for the new school year, collecting supplies for low-income students in Woodstock as part of a supply drive in the community. As most parents know, school supply lists can be daunting, and efforts to help ease the cost of attending public school should be applauded. e efforts to collect supplies represent part of the greater community’s work with, and for, education in our area. e entire community benefits from an educated populace — this has been a commonly held contention since the days of Horace Mann and Booker T. Washington. But learning is an ongoing process, and it’s not limited to the school day alone. Clubs for children, public libraries and a whole host of other organizations and entities all play a role in educating our kids, and they, too, deserve our praise. But even those of us not directly involved in educating our youth have a responsibility to schools and kids. We should certainly educate ourselves on the issues facing schools at a local, state and national level and take care to ensure we’re supporting educationally and financially sound policies that will impact our schools and our communities. But we should also be aware of what we can do to create a good and safe learning environment. Be aware of school speed zones and laws that regulate drivers’ behavior around school buses and in school zones. ose laws, so often ignored by impatient drivers, are in place to protect our students. Lend a hand or a donation to school groups’ fundraisers, or take part in any number of events staged by schools and students throughout the year. And although school supply drives are mostly over, keep in mind that teachers in District 200 schools will continue to keep an eye out for kids who are short on supplies and might be in need of a donation. District 200 will continue to collect pencils, pens, markers, flash drives and other supplies through the end of next week at the district office, 227 W. Judd St. Your donation could go a long way toward supporting a student in our community.

Keep riding! ank you to Lisa Kucharski for your recent column about cycling. I have commuted to my business in Crystal Lake since we built in Woodstock 20 years ago — over 100,000 miles total, rain or shine

(but never ice). Every opportunity to give good information is helpful. I try to ride responsibly and be an ambassador for safe cycling. I don’t cycle to save the environment, although that is a byproduct. I cycle selfishly to work

exercise into a busy schedule, with good health and time for mentally preparing for the day ahead and clearing the mind of stress on the ride home. Well done and keep riding! Scott Offord, Woodstock

Âť COLUMN

Pass them on: truisms from the state fair and Facebook July and August are fair months in Illinois. Most of Illinois’ 92 county fairs were in July and August again this year, and the Illinois State Fair began Aug. 8 and continues through Aug. 18 in SpringďŹ eld. My husband, Jim, and I went to the state fair Saturday and had a wonderful time. Our ďŹ rst stop was the Farmers Market Tent to see if we could buy some Illinois peaches. We were pleasantly surprised. Illinois peaches were being sold, and folks were snacking on watermelon, cantaloupe and about a half dozen other grown-in-Illinois foods, including sweet corn from Twin Garden Farms in Harvard. Our next stop was the Dairy Building to see the butter cow – a state fair tradition for more than 90 years. She was a Jersey again this year. Sharon BuMann from the state of New York did, in fact, sculpt the nearly life-size cow from 500 pounds of butter. Sutter’s State Fair Salt Water Taffy is a must-buy for me, so that was next. We headed toward the grandstand, because the Sutter’s truck with the taffy-pulling machine making the next batch of sweetness was located near

the grandstand ďŹ ve decades ago when I was a 4-H’er exhibiting at the fair. We passed booths selling deep-fried candy bars, lemonade shake-ups, turkey legs, cinnamon rolls, elephant ears and so Cheryl much more. And, we Wormley found Sutter’s near Declarations the grandstand. Salt water taffy is a must-buy for two reasons. First, it also was a must-buy for my mom, and second, it’s fun to share. It was just about as good as I remember, but the black walnut didn’t seem as pungent. e company’s website declares the taffy is still made the old-fashioned way, using the same recipes and ingredients as when the company was founded in 1919. Nearly every elected state ofďŹ cer had a tent at the state fair. We entered only one. I was hoping Attorney General Lisa Madigan would be educating the public on its right to know with regard to actions of public ofďŹ cials and

public bodies. Not so. She had chosen to emphasize consumer protection. We walked through the swine barn and the sheep barns, but we couldn’t walk through the horse barns because chains were draped across the doorways with signs saying the barns were closed to the public. at didn’t set well with me. We stopped to watch some of the sheep classes and then some young people showing their pigs. We found the livestock building and watched a judge placing Hereford bulls. My reason for being at the fair was to help host the 4-H Family Event on the Director of Agriculture’s lawn on the fairgrounds. Annually, the Illinois 4-H Foundation Board, of which I’m a member, honors the new class of Illinois 4-H Hall of Fame inductees and the Illinois 4-H family of the year. More than 1,200 people registered to attend this year’s event at which 63 Hall of Famers were recognized. More than 80 members of the McGrew family from McDonough County were present in matching green 4-H shirts to receive their family’s award. I met Amelia Martens, Illinois County

Fair queen, who is a graduate of the University of Illinois and 10-year 4-H’er. And, while I was helping set up for the 4-H Family Event, Jim had the good fortune of seeing the Budweiser Clydesdales, drivers, wagon and even the Dalmatian sitting next to the drivers. I could go on and on about the state fair, but I also want to share something posted by at least three of my Facebook friends this weekend. It is written to young people as they head back to school, but its message applies to adults just as much. e post reads: “Special request to all of you kids returning to school in August: If you see someone who is struggling to make friends or being bullied because he/she doesn’t have many friends or because they are shy or not as pretty or not dressed in the most “in� clothes – PLEASE step up. Say hi or at least smile at them in the hallway. You never know what that person might be facing outside of school. Your kindness might just make a BIG difference in someone’s life!�

engagement; though a few people seemed somewhat shocked. One reason for this may be the fact that we have only been together for 10 months and are getting married in three. It seems there is some Rhonda contrived, unwritten Mix rule against getting engaged before dating Mix Messages for a year. However, I believe the older a couple, the less necessary it is to wait. If you know you want to be together, you know. ere are couples more comfortable with dating longterm, and that’s perfectly ďŹ ne, too. It comes down to personal choice. Many couples also seem to have a year-long engagement rule – requiring at least a full year to plan for the wedding. Steve and I were against dragging things out for no good reason other than to ďŹ t in to the norm. As I’m not a fan of highfalutin, lavish weddings, we’ve also decided to keep things as simple as possible without a ton of fanfare, spending money instead on a trip and saving for a new house.

A few people were also a bit taken aback as they assumed that I would always want to remain a single soul, wandering the globe alone, whenever I could manage to get away. While I admit this lifestyle did appeal to me at times and I’d pretty much decided I’d be single forever, solo travel can get a little lonely. I have no problem traveling on my own – I love it, in fact – but it’s nice to ďŹ nally have a signiďŹ cant other who has a sense of adventure. One person said, “I thought you were always going to travel. Now you are just going to settle down and have kids instead.â€? is allegation is annoying for more reasons than one. Since travel is a passion of mine, and my future husband is aware of this, it’s something I’m always going to do when the opportunity arises. I’m sure I’d become seriously depressed if I never traveled again, and Steve knows it’s important to me. His dreams and aspirations are equally important, and I will support him in achieving them. ere also is a notion that once one gets married and has children, life basically ends and freedom is gone forever – one might as well resign themselves to a life of stress and boredom. Mar-

riage tends to have such negative connotations in our society. My response is that if and when Steve and I do decide to have a child, having a child will not stop us from living a good and fruitful life, full of new experiences (and travel, when possible). People end up where they end up because of roads they choose to venture down. If one isn’t happy in his or her life or marriage, it’s a personal problem. All people have options about what to do with the time they are given on this earth. Sure, I have slight anxiety about married life and what it all means, but, at the end of the day, I believe marriage will be the greatest adventure Steve and I have yet to experience. I welcome the journey with open arms. Here’s to change and new beginnings! “A life of adventure is ours for the taking, whether we’re 7 or 70. Life for the most part is what we make it. We have been given a responsibility to live it fully, joyfully, completely, and richly, in whatever span of time God grants us on this earth.� — Luci Swindoll

District partners with hospital for screenings About 400 students receive EKGs and other tests as part of program aimed at young athletes By ELIZABETH HARMON The Independent e school year is just beginning, but about 400 Woodstock School District 200 students have an important test coming up — a test that could save their lives. rough a partnership with Centegra Health Systems, the students will receive a low-cost electrocardiogram, a quick noninvasive screening that can identify conditions associated with sudden cardiac arrest, a leading cause of death among young athletes in the United

States. e voluntary tests will be administered in gym classes at a cost of $5 each. “ is is the first year we’ve been able to offer this and the first time for Centegra to offer it on a school campus,” said Lisa Tate, director of nursing and health services for District 200. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, about 2,000 people younger than 25 die of SCA each year. In 2011, a Michigan high school basketball player died on the court moments after hitting a game-winning shot. e cause of death was cardiac arrest due to an enlarged heart. e SCA Foundation estimates that each year more than 300,000 Americans of all ages die from the condition. An EKG can identify about 40 percent of those at risk for sudden cardiac arrest. Many of the conditions that cause SCA are treatable with early detection.

Test results will be reviewed by an on-site Centegra physician, and students will receive results the same day. If abnormality is detected, an echocardiogram will be performed onsite at no charge, parents will be notified and the student may be referred for further treatment. Celine Pope, wellness manager for Centegra Health System, said District 200’s proactive approach to wellness made Woodstock a logical place to launch the new on-site EKG program. “We’ve worked with them on concussion screening, and when we mentioned we were considering on-campus heart screening, they said they would love to be part of it,” said Pope. Centegra has had additional inquiries from other school districts and hopes to offer the program on a broad scale in the near future. “We really want other (districts) to be part of this,” Pope said. e program is funded through the Centegra Health System Foundation. While the risk of SCA is about three times higher for competitive athletes, Tate said the district felt it was important the tests be available for all students. “Just because they’re not an athlete now, doesn’t mean they won’t be involved in sports at some point in the future,” she said. Screenings are scheduled for Aug. 19 and 20 at Woodstock North High School, and Aug. 21 and 22 at Woodstock High School. Consent forms were included

in registration packets for the 2013-14 school year, and completed permission slips were due in July. Students must have written permission to be tested. Tate called the tests a “next step” in the partnership between the district and Centegra, which includes concussion screening for student athletes. During the 2012-13 school year, 55 percent of the WHS student body received tests, and 20 concussions were diagnosed. At WNHS, 20 percent of the student body was tested and five concussions were diagnosed. e two-part concussion screening consists of a computer test that measures verbal and visual memory, attention span, brain processing speed and reaction time, and a balance test to evaluate motor control. e tests provide a baseline with which to evaluate students following an injury. ough the district has a protocol in place to determine when students may return to play following an injury, the test data is another tool trainers and physicians can use to evaluate readiness. Concussion screening continues this fall for incoming freshmen and new student athletes. Concussion and EKG screenings are good for two years. For WNHS basketball player Zak Lampl, suffering a concussion during a basketball game was the catalyst for him to receive an EKG that detected an abnormality in his heart. He has since had surgery to correct the condition and was able to resume sports and Wonder Lake Fire Department Explorer activities this summer. “Zak is doing great” said his mom, Dina. “We didn’t expect it; because he’s so active and without the EKG, we wouldn’t have caught it until it was too late.” Without the test, his condition might have gone undetected. “Our biggest concern is that these conditions are symptom-free. While not extremely common, they are very serious. Detecting it in just one child impacts an entire family,” Pope said.

TownSquare Players to hold theater fundraiser By RHONDA MIX The Independent After experiencing difficulties covering

expenses for the upcoming theater season, TownSquare Players came up with a solution. e theater company will host its

inaugural fundraiser, “Sunday in the Square on Stage,” from noon to 11 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 25, on the Woodstock Square. Betsy Stemple, TSP president, said the theater company came up with the fundraising idea when discussing how to fund the coming theater season after an incident in March in which a former treasurer drained the organization’s bank account. e thought of uniting a variety of performing art groups seemed like a great idea. “We are the oldest theater company in McHenry County,” Stemple said. “Our goal is not just about theater but about uniting all the performing arts. We want to promote all the arts.” Stemple said the event will offer a variety of activities for the family and will feature four entertainment stages, one in each interior corner of the park. She said one goal is to keep the fundraiser family-oriented, with all-day, easy-going entertainment. Featured entertainers and performances will include song and acting pieces from multiple theater groups including Christian Arts Student eatre, Marengo Children’s eatre, eater Underground, eatre on the Green, TSP and Woodstock Musical eatre Company. e event also will feature two magicians, a storyteller, musicians Ian Hall, Sandie Kindschy, Timothy Merkel and Suzy Schwartz and folk/bluegrass blues group Big Fish. “Most of the theater companies around McHenry County will be included,” said

Stemple. “It will be a nice way to give a flavor of what [different] companies can do.” “We [also] will have many great bands that are donating their time,” said Stemple. Additionally, food vendors, face painting and other activities will be offered. Liquid Blues will feature several menu items and will grill, Jaci’s Cookies will sell treats, Calogero’s will serve up Italian fare and several area vendors and a food truck will provide snacks such as popcorn and ice cream. Stemple said several Square restaurants will keep later hours during the fundraiser. At 5 p.m., the first of five different rock/blues and pop bands will begin performing on the bandstand. e groups performing will be e Elevate Project, e Fabulous Q-Balls, Friction, Jimmy Nicks and Don’t Tell Mama and Phidget. Additionally, there will be 50/50 raffles and a silent auction. Some of the raffle items will include tickets to a variety of theater shows and posters signed by bands performing at the event. A $10 donation is suggested. Proceeds will benefit the TSP. Stemple said people will not be turned away if unable to donate, but she believes that people who can be generous, will be. “We want to [continue to] bring affordable, well done, live theater to the community,” she said. “And we’ve been getting great support.” For information, call Stemple at 815560-2293.

Small biz adds value to the everyday Recently my husband and I had the honor of hosting a talented young athlete from Manitoba, Canada, for a week. Genevieve Krahn was traveling with her father, Paul, to compete in a series of cycling criteriums. e Krahns had a long, challenging journey which included hours of delays due to road construction, a flat tire Laura and hitting a deer, causing them to Witlox arrive at 3 a.m. Middaugh Upon their arrival, we welcomed Minding Your them with open Business arms and sent them off to bed. It wasn’t until later the next evening that we had an opportunity to get to know them better, instantly bonding. We tried spending as much time as we could together, between Genevieve’s training and racing. She placed first and third out of a total of four. e Krahns wanted to tour our area, so of course I was thrilled to take them around. Fortunately, they were in town on a Wednesday and were able to enjoy a Woodstock City Band concert and a lovely dinner on the patio of La Petite Creperie. During our evening walk around the Square, we pointed out our favorite places to visit, so they could return the next day when the businesses were open. Mr. Krahn thought every small town should have a square just as beautiful as Woodstock’s. Peering into the new Material ings Artisan Market, we were welcomed in by its owner, Ken West. Excited to get a sneak peek before the grand opening, we browsed the unique assortment of artisans’ works, including a modern bracelet collection from a jewelry artist from Manitoba the Krahns knew! Since the Krahns had hit a deer on the way down, they had a headlamp that needed positioning. inking local, we called De Craene’s Service Center. Fortunately, they were able to service the car that day. When we arrived, their staff greeted Mr. Krahn with a big smile and said, “No charge.” We were completely surprised by their generosity and grateful for their warm gesture. For these reasons, and others, I value small business every day. It’s the “little things” local business owners do that keep me coming back. More importantly, I am appreciative of our lovely community of Woodstock, that I proudly call home.

Cinema restores original theater By LISA KUCHARSKI The Independent

In 1979, a wall split the 900-seat auditorium of the Woodstock eatre to offer two screens for its moviegoers, and a dropped ceiling hid the theater’s ornamental red and gold dome. On Aug. 5, 2013, Classic Cinemas closed the two main auditoriums, and construction workers began tearing the wall down and removing the ceiling to restore the dome and auditorium to their previous grandeur. “ ere are a lot of mysteries being uncovered at the Woodstock eatre,” said Mark Mazrimas, Classic Cinemas marketing manager. Mazrimas said Willis Johnson, his wife, Shirley, and their son, Chris, owners of Classic Cinemas, have been recovering artifacts, restoring historical theaters and creating a classic movie theater atmosphere with state-of-theart modern conveniences for more than three decades. Aug. 11 marked Classic Cinemas’ 35th anniversary. As one of Classic Cinemas’ “most ambitious” projects, Mazrimas said the Woodstock eatre project should be a nice Christmas present to the city. e completion date is expected in December. He said restoring the original auditorium, while keeping the same ambiance of the whole building, has taken careful planning and construction. While Mazrimas said “it would have been easier to construct a whole new building,” he said the end result will be worth the effort and wait because of the unique historical preservation. Aside from the Tivoli theatre in Downers Grove, the first theater restored and opened by the Johnsons in 1978, Mazrimas said, “I’m sure we’ll be the only theater for a lot of miles that has a dome in one of our auditoriums.” e domed theater, at 209 Main St., was first constructed in 1927 by John C. Miller. It was designed by architect Elmer Behrens, who designed the Raue Center in Crystal Lake. e Miller eatre was built on the site of the former Princess eatre, constructed in 1911, across the street from the Gem, another former movie auditorium. e first movie to show at the Miller was “Figures Don’t Lie,” a 1927 silent production. e theater was convert-

ed to sound in 1929, playing the film “Syncopation.” Aside from showing movies, the Miller had a stage and dressing rooms for plays, Miss Woodstock pageants and other events. e theater also had a Barton organ and a balcony. In 1973, a group of four partners, former Woodstock Mayor Alan Cornue, Bill Freund, Don Peasley and Virgil Smith, bought the theater, renaming it the Woodstock eatre. By 1980, the group divided the large auditorium and dropped the ceiling to operate as a twin theater. Eight years later, the Johnsons purchased the theater to add to their Classic Cinemas family. In 2002, the Johnsons purchased the vacant building next door at 211 Main St. with intent to expand the theater. Willis Johnson said he learned the building was once the Beverly eatre, a nickelodeon with a small screen, flat floor and moveable chairs from 1920 to 1922. Johnson said he saved some of the original white bricks from the Beverly, which are now incorporated into the Woodstock eatre’s new exterior facade. After final renovations, Johnson said the main auditorium will have a restored dome and replicate the original style and design of the Miller. He said 10 ornamental metal ventilation grills have been manufactured based off of one existing original. Johnson

said John Scharres, managing director of the Woodstock Opera House, had salvaged an original grill from the Miller. e original will be on display at a faux exit door in the front of the auditorium. Johnson said a chandelier belonging to the theater was discovered at an antique store in Richmond. He said he also found an original program from the Miller’s opening Nov. 8, 1927, at the McHenry County Historical Society in Union. e fully finished theater will have a history wall with reproductions of one-sheet posters of some of the first movies played at the Miller. “We’re learning bits and pieces all the time,” Johnson said. “We always hope to find out more, which we do.” A theater that began showing short silents on film reel, Classic Cinemas in Woodstock is now operating with state-of-theart digital projectors and sound. Instead of transporting heavy film on platters from one projector room to the next, the movies are obtained via satellite in any room, simply by pressing of a button or two. Mazrimas said a lighting ceremony will take place once the exterior facade and the city’s pedway north of the theater are complete. e ceremony will include lighting a new vertical sign on the side of the building, replicating the sign that hung outside the Miller in the 1950s.

Community New pastor joins St. John’s Lutheran By RHONDA MIX The Independent e Rev. Aaron Schellhas was installed as St. John’s Lutheran Church’s newest pastor July 28. “Since I was young, people told me I would make a good pastor,” said Schellhas. He said, though he initially wanted a career in music, God worked on his heart and told him to use his gifts as a pastor.

Schellhas said he was called to St. John’s. “It seemed like a better fit,” he said. “I thought, ‘How can God use me best?’ We’re excited to be here.” Schellhas, his wife, Leeann, and his three children, Natalee, 6, Jarred, 4, and Gretta, 1, have called Woodstock home for the past month. ough he said he does not know much about the area as of yet, he is happy to be here. “I’ve heard Woodstock strives to

maintain a quaint and inviting c o m m u n i t y atmosphere,” he said. “We certainly felt very welcomed.” Schellhas said he wants to bring a freshness and Aaron renewed focus on Schellhas discipleship to the church and hopes people will respond. ough change is never easy, he said, he believes change is something God calls people to. He also hopes to help the church find balance and “put people in places where God can use them.” “How can we continue to grow at home and abroad?” he asked. “[I want the church] to find balance between growing our hearts to be closer to

God and growing into the community, letting the community know how much God loves them. To have a servant’s heart. It’s the motto [God] has called us to follow.” Born in Peoria in 1979, Schellhas graduated from Concordia University in River Forest in 2003, with a Bachelor of Arts in church music and theological languages. He worked as interim music director/teacher at St. Luke Lutheran Church and School in Itasca before beginning studies at Concordia Seminary in St. Louis in 2004. He served as vicar at St. Peter Lutheran Church in Schaumburg from 2006 to 2007 and, after graduating from seminary in 2008, was ordained at St. Luke Itasca and installed as Reverend of Christ Lutheran Church in Peoria. In his free time, Schellhas enjoys spending time with his family; listening to and playing music such as the piano, guitar and drums; learning about the latest technology advances and encouraging others to grow in their faith and relationship with Jesus.

the end of last season was cheerleading. Former Marian cross-country and track coach Cas Creighton took the role of vice president of cheer with the goal of bringing structure. “Last year, I noticed the cheer program wasn’t getting the attention needed, and I knew with coaching high school sports and running the wrestling club that I would be able to get the program going and get the numbers back up,” Creighton said. “Structure was really why I got on board. I had no intentions of coaching.” Her friend Angela Budnik is the head cheer coach, and Creighton said she is “very thankful to have her.” Uniforms, poms and warm-up suits were purchased for the 52 cheerleaders, which is more than double last year’s total. Creighton said her objective is to grow the program and to develop its participants before they begin competition. “ ere are a lot of girls that don’t have any experience at all and at this point we are not doing any competitions,” Creighton said. “ at is something we want to get involved with the next couple of years so people don’t have to leave town to do that.” Bychowski, who is a relative newcomer to the group having been on the board for two years, said “I’ve been very impressed with the group. ey’ve had a ton of progress in the short time they’ve been around. It’s a great program. I’m very happy with it, and, because of that, I chose to become more involved.” Registration is still open for the flag program, which is for children ages 5 to 7 and will start Saturday, Sept. 7.

Dolphins hire full-time coach By JAY SCHULZ The Independent

Tackle program moves the chains In its sixth season, more than 200 kids are part of Woodstock Thunder football and cheer By JAY SCHULZ The Independent Practice is under way at the Emricson Park for the Woodstock under Youth Football and Cheer program, which is in its sixth season. More than 200 children and numerous coaches and volunteers are busy preparing for league play which begins Saturday, Aug. 31. League secretary Mike Wirth, who has been with WTYFC since it was founded in 2008, said the league had a couple of objectives when it started. “When we started, our goal was to have another program in town besides St. Mary,” Wirth said. “WNHS had just opened up, and we wanted to be a feeder program for both schools. We felt there was a need, that people wanted something a bit different from St. Mary.” WTYFC is part of e Chicagoland Youth Football League which has teams in 37 cities. e league has six levels - flag, bantamweight, featherweight, middleweight, lightweight and heavyweight. ere are 145 players in WTYFC this year, not including flag, and 52 in the cheer program. e focus of the league, according to vice president of media relations Brian Bychowski is safety and fun. “[ e league] is geared toward being safe and fun,” Bychowski said. “Everybody is competitive and everybody wants to win, but the days of telling a kid to man up, get back out there and deal with it are long gone. It’s very important we have a safe and fun program.” Bychowski noted the league follows USA Football program guidelines for heads-up tackling with all coaches receiving training on correct

tackling form. “Our main focus is safety,” Bychowski said. “ at’s been a big deal in all the football programs the past few years. We’re very sensitive to concussions and to heads-up tackling.” WTYFC would like to be a feeder program, but with two public high schools it is a bit difficult since neither team wants to share its playbook. “We consider ourselves a feeder program, but it is not official.” Bychowski said. “We would like to work more with the high schools. … Both head coaches have met with us, and they are more than willing to help out, to offer guidance and send players out to help. It’s limited. ey do everything they can, and we have a great relationship with both.” “I would say the majority of our kids do go to the public schools,” Wirth said and noted most feed into

Creekside or Northwood middle schools. Wirth said the program has grown, starting with a 125 participants six years ago, adding he has been impressed with the commitment of its volunteers. “I think what’s great about our program is all our kids get to play,” Wirth said. “ ey all have starting positions. e coaches we have are all dedicated. We still have some coaches and board members that have been with the program since the beginning. We don’t have a lot of turnover and continuity is critical in a youth program.” e program has about 40 coaches and several other volunteers.

Even after celebrating its 50th anniversary this summer, the Woodstock Dolphins swim program decided it could continue to get better. To that end, the program has hired its first fulltime head coach in Mike Kavanaugh. “We have been, over the last several years, looking at the quality of coaching and really wanting to give all the kids on the team the ability to reach their full potential, and we felt by having a full-time coach in place that was completely dedicated to the team we would be able to step up that level of coaching,” said Dolphins board member Cindy eobald. Kavanaugh has coached for 10 years in Wisconsin and Illinois. He attended high school in Wisconsin and college at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh. After college, he moved the Chicagoland area and coached the Mundelein Mustangs for more than three years. is past year he coached in Beloit, Wis. “We’re really excited about having coach Mike on the team,” said new Dolphins president Bob Sweet. “He brings a lot of experience and talent to the team. He really seems to have the best interest of the team at heart. I think the kids are really going to enjoy having him on the team bringing a new perspective.” “He seems like a great guy, very motivated – dedicated to swimming, dedicated to kids, dedicated to improvement,” eobald said. “He’s really interested in developing himself professionally, so he can provide the bestquality training to the team.” e opportunity to hire a full-time coach came when previous head coach Bill Stanton left the program in April. “With [Stanton’s] departure, we were able to see the difference between what a full-time coach can bring and what a part-time coach can bring to the team,” eobald said. eobald said Kavanaugh “will be responsible for everything on the wet side of the business” and the board of directors “will still be managing the dry side.” e Dolphins program, which raises funds through membership dues, the Firecracker swim-a-thon and swim meets like the annual Splashtastic in December at Woodstock North High School, have plans to increase their fundraising efforts. “We have plans to do additional fundraising throughout the year, and we will be looking for corporate sponsors,” eobald said.

My real long-term goal is for the team to be producing state-level swimmers on a regular basis and also start to enter the national circuit.” Kavanaugh said he plans on workPlease see Dolphins, Page 26
