After purchase, the presses stop By KATELYN STANEK The Independent More than 100 people lost their jobs Aug. 2 when commercial printer D.B. Hess closed its nearly 200,000-squarefoot factory on McConnell Road. Executives at the Woodstock plant, which produced catalogues, textbooks and other materials, informed employees early last week they would be out of jobs within several days, ending months of speculation about the company’s future. TPO Hess Holdings Inc., the printer’s

parent company, had filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy May 22. Following the filing, Bang Printing signed an asset purchase agreement for the company, but the fate of the Woodstock factory had been unclear until recently, when the Minnesota-based printer finalized its purchase. A letter submitted to the city of Woodstock by TPO Hess under the terms of the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act had warned of the possibility of “mass layoffs” affecting 148 employees, including pressmen, technicians, sales

representatives and clerks. “We’ve known for quite a while that the Hess property was being marketed [for sale],” said Community and Economic Development Director Cort Carlson. “We’d gotten a WARN notice a couple months ago that layoffs were possible.” Carlson said city ofﬁcials had been in contact with executives at Bang Printing about the possibility of keeping the Woodstock facility open. “We’d made some contact with Bang, who at the time was one of the

Drivers in Woodstock should expect delays this month as city, county and state road construction projects take place simultaneously. Construction projects include repairs to be completed as part of Woodstock’s street resurfacing program, the resurfacing of Kishwaukee Valley Road as part of the McHenry County Preservation Program and touch-ups along Route 120 from Charles Road to Highway 14 by the Illinois Department of Transportation. e city of Woodstock’s street resurfacing program is already underway. Budgeted at $1 million, the city plans to ﬁx problem areas by repairing pavement, ramps, gutters and drainage issues at 21 different locations throughout town. Al Wilson, city engineer, said the repairs are chosen each summer based on need and priority from a list compiled throughout the year. “We’ve already started a list for next year of people who’ve called to let us know they think their road needs certain work and certain things done on it,” Al Wilson said. e program budget changes annually, based on funding from motor fuel tax revenue, tax increment ﬁnancing district funds and the city’s Capital Improvement Program. Repairs this year started with work on the railroad tunnel on East South Street. e work has been completed. Wilson said the remaining projects should be completed by Monday, Sept. 2.

‘Higher than normal’ turnout for county fair

Continued from Page 1

By LISA KUCHARSKI and KATELYN STANEK The Independent For Union farmer Jim Jones, the McHenry County Fair is the perfect opportunity to show off the tractor he inherited from his stepfather years ago. A member of the McHenry County Antique Farm Equipment Association of Illinois, Jones displayed his antique tractor alongside dozens of other pieces of equipment at the fair July 31 to Aug. 4 at 11900 Country Club Road. “It’s a lot of fun,” Jones said. “People come up to me and say, ‘My grandfather used to have a tractor like that,’ or ‘We used to have that tractor,’ and we get to talk to all these people. It’s just a lot

of fun.” e annual event drew hundreds of participants and thousands of spectators in what Hannah Meinert, McHenry County Fair ofﬁce manager, described as a “recordbreaking” event. “Attendance was higher than normal, and normal is 70,000,” she said. “Everybody really liked

the motocross and the demolition derby this year.” For attendee Sandie Sroka, McHenry, coming to the fair represents an annual rite of summer. “We’ve been coming here for almost 30 years,” Sroka said. “My kids were in 4-H, and we continue to come out. We’re trying to carry on the tradition.”

After leaving the HAHS, Klein Manke still had a passion to continue to help ﬁnd homes for the horses. is led her to the Mustang Million, an event sponsored by the Mustang Heritage Foundation, a national organization dedicated to facilitating successful adoptions for America’s excess mustangs and burros. e Mustang Million is a competition offering a substantial amount of prize money in classes designed for professionals, amateurs and youth. One thousand Mustang horses were available for adoption with a goal of preparing the horses for the event to be held in Fort Worth in September. Klein Manke applied and was approved for adopting up to four horses. She partnered with a pair of trainers, TJ Clibborn and Tracy Porter, based out of Milton, Wis. Klein Manke and Clibborn arranged to travel to Ft. Worth for one of the adoption events to pick out a horse to use for the competition. ”We were going to get one, but we felt sorry for them when we got there,” said Clibborn. ey came home with four mustangs, two 2-year-olds and two 4-year-olds. e younger pair are being trained for the in-hand division of the competition and the older two will be entered in the legends division, where they’ll be

Clibborn has prepared horses and competed in various mustang training challenges since 2009. He is an advocate for the breed, and training mustangs has become his primary focus. ere are currently 40,000 captured mustangs in BLM holding pens around the country waiting for adoption. “You gotta love what you do. I made it my goal to save as many of

these as I can. If we can only save one at a time, well then that’s what we’ll do,” Clibborn said.

of bankruptcy proceedings saw a number of employees quitting and prompted at least one out-of-state printer to actively recruit D.B. Hess workers. Following the announcement of its closure, employment specialists, including representatives from the McHenry County Workforce Network, began meeting with the company’s remaining employees, providing services to the new job-seekers. According to Carlson, several buyers have shown interest in purchasing the Hess property, which sits on 33 acres.

Plote Construction Inc. has 45 days to complete the project. e resurfacing of a 7-mile stretch of Kishwaukee Valley Road also began Aug. 5. e project is the final McHenry County pavement Preservation Program repair of the year. Construction manager Jim Werner said the $800,000 program is “performing as anticipated.” Werner said the construction will not close the road to drivers and it should be completed by early to mid-September. Linda VanDyke, director of transportation for Woodstock School District 200, said road construction could cause slight delays in busing schedules, but generally, it is not an issue of concern. “Construction is always a difficult situation in the busing of students,” she said, “but the county, city and state really bend over backward to help us out to get through those areas.” VanDyke said the normal procedures for busing students within construction areas entails rerouting or time delays. However, when streets like Fleming Road are closed during the school year, parents are asked to bring children to different pickup locations. “We’re different from the person trying to make it to work at 8 o’clock,” VanDyke said. “We’re transporting students, so if we’re a few minutes late, we’ll be a few minutes late. Safety is the No. 1 thought in all of our brains.”

Food co-op would benefit small farmers, consumers e locavore movement is gaining traction in Woodstock and throughout McHenry County. With the success of local farmers markets, including the Woodstock Farmers Market, it isn’t surprising that a group of volunteers has gathered to try to create a food cooperative somewhere in the area. e effort to make the McHenry County Food Cooperative a reality is a positive development toward investing in local food, organic farming and environmentally friendly agriculture. Food co-ops, which operate on a membership model and typically focus on healthy and locally produced food, bring with them benefits for small farmers and consumers alike. For family farms that eschew big agribusiness, an opportunity to sell food directly to local consumers is invaluable. For farmers who follow organic principles but cannot afford the prohibitive cost of organic certification, the chance to speak with consumers and a co-op’s buyers and explain their growing techniques is an additional advantage. And for the growing number of consumers looking to take more control of their food purchases, a co-op would provide benefits like those found at farmers markets — the ability to know where their food is grown, what kinds of practices a farm employs, the chance to buy locally produced products, and an abundance of in-season and natural food. What’s more, co-ops provide for diversity in a region’s food landscape. ey stand in opposition to larger grocery conglomerates and give consumers options that are otherwise unavailable at many retailers. ey shun fruits and vegetables grown on the other side of the country — or often, the other side of the world — for those grown in the region, cutting down on fuel consumption and pollution. But a food co-op cannot survive without the support of residents and members, and without cooperation from local experts and agencies. Right now, the McHenry County Food Cooperative is working with volunteers to compile demographic information from interested consumers, meeting in committees to determine the viability of the project and where it should be located, and collaborating with other co-ops in the region to learn the keys to creating a successful food cooperative. If, like some people in Woodstock, you believe small farms and local, healthy food should have a place to survive and thrive in McHenry County, visit www. mchenrycountycoop.com to learn about upcoming meetings and other information that will help you to do your part.

Let’s take back our county government

Some Illinois newspapers have

written in favor of Illinois’ passage of the “Uniform Collaborative Law Act.” Under the Uniform Collaborative Law Act divorcing parties agree to be bound by the Collaborative Law Act. Under that act the parties agree that they will resolve the case between themselves, but if either of them applies to the court for relief, then both attorneys must withdraw from the case, leaving both parties without a lawyer unless they act very quickly. Recently the past president of the Illinois State Bar Association, John Locallo, stated he was opposed to legislative passage of the Uniform Collaborative Law Act. My opposition to the Collaborative Law Act is that when divorcing parties need their divorce lawyers the most, their lawyers must abandon them. H. Joseph Gitlin, attorney, Woodstock

INDE THOUGHT

Organizers of the Woodstock Farmers Market are again predicting that the twiceweekly event on the Woodstock Square is attracting 4,000 people to the downtown area on busy weekends, matching high totals from last year’s events. Named the No. 1 midsized farmers mar-

ket in Illinois, the Woodstock Farmers Market has proved an invaluable addition to the Woodstock Square, and its presence downtown is one of the Square’s most compelling draws. The Independent congratulates vendors and organizers on the market’s success.

“I’m sick of following my dreams. I’m just going to ask them where they’re going, and hook up with them later.”

State Sen. Dan Duffy and State Rep. Jack Franks appear to be the only local, elected ofﬁcials who understand accessibility and accountability are needed at all levels of government. e two leaders recently called on the McHenry County Board to hold an open screening process for the appointment of the county’s representative to the Regional Transit Authority, instead of making the choice through the back-room deals typical of the board. It’s a shame the new county board czarina Tina Hill is stuck in the politics of the past. She rewards her political supporters at the expense of the taxpayers of McHenry County — witness the recent ﬁasco in appointing a new member to the Mental Health Board. Duffy and

Franks want to end the good-oldboy network’s ability to reward political insiders with plum patronage jobs. Instead, they want what we the taxpayers want: qualiﬁed individuals to serve in appointed government positions following rigorous vetting. Hill’s heavy-handedness in making appointments, and the continuation of the cronyism that marked former chairman Ken Koehler’s reign as board chairman, are more examples as to why it’s time for the citizens to take back their county government and demand the ability to directly elect their county board chair.

Âť COLUMN

4-H members learn by doing e highlights of my visit to the McHenry County Fair last week were walking through the plethora of exhibits in the 4-H building and the livestock, poultry and other animal buildings. I delighted in seeing the various 4-H projects on exhibit â&#x20AC;&#x201C; even more, I enjoyed seeing the 4-Hâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ers working with their animals, talking with fairgoers and having fun with one another. Being at the fair brought back a whole host of memories. I was a 4-H member in Kendall County for 10 years. In my day, there were two types of 4-H clubs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; agriculture and home economics. I belonged to both. My dad and a neighbor led the ag club. My mom and the wife of the neighbor led the girls club. In those days, girls could be in the ag clubs, but boys didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t choose to join the home economics clubs. By default, home economics clubs were labeled girls clubs. My projects included dairy, hogs, gardening, clothing, foods, photography, ďŹ&#x201A;ower arranging and more. 4-H has its roots in the Smith-Lever Act, passed by Congress in 1914. e act authorized the creation of a Cooperative Extension Service as part of the land-grant college of agriculture in each of the states to provide education about developments in agriculture, home economics, leader-

ship and government. Extension workers found one very effective way of reaching rural men and women was by working with their children, and 4-H was born. Ask past or present 4-H members why the Cheryl organization is called Wormley 4-H and they probDeclarations ably will recite the 4-H pledge: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I pledge my head to clearer thinking, my heart to greater loyalty, my hands to larger service, and my health to better living for my club, my community, my country and my world.â&#x20AC;? e motto of 4-H is â&#x20AC;&#x153;To make the best better,â&#x20AC;? and the often-stated slogan is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Learn by doing.â&#x20AC;? e ďŹ rst 4-H club in Illinois was organized in the spring of 1915. By 1916, more than 15,000 members were enrolled in 4-H in Illinois. Now, the total number of 4-Hâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ers in Illinois is more than 200,000. McHenry County has more than 600 this year. From the very start, the mission of 4-H has been to help youth learn skills for living. rough the years, the skills youths have needed for their adult lives have

changed, so 4-H has adapted. Today, the Illinois 4-H curriculum has three primary mission mandates: science, engineering and technology; healthy living; and citizenship. Illinois 4-Hâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ers can choose from more than 175 projects that include everything from projects similar to what I took to computers, aerospace, healthy living and entrepreneurship. And if six or more young people want to learn about a subject not offered through one of the existing 4-H projects, they can start a Special Interest Club under the leadership of an adult volunteer. Projects have expanded and so has the reach of 4-H. As the demographics in the state of Illinois have changed so has 4-H. Even when I was in 4-H, most members lived in rural areas or small towns. Today, Illinois 4-H members include youth from suburban and urban areas, including Chicago. e age span for 4-H has been adjusted, too. When I was in 4-H, it was for youth from 10 to 21. Now, young people start 4-H after their eighth birthdays and can be members until they turn 19. Elements of the 4-H program also are available to children 5 to 7 through the Cloverbuds program. For many years, 4-H received most of

its support from the federal government through Cooperative Extension. Now, 4-H is dependent on money generated within speciďŹ c counties and the generosity of individuals statewide, giving to the Illinois 4-H Foundation and county 4-H foundations. ough I beneďŹ tted from my project work, what truly shaped my adult life was what I learned through giving talks and demonstrations, being a club ofďŹ cer and helping younger members. For the ďŹ rst half of my 4-H career I was on the receiving end. I learned from the examples set by older members. I marveled at their skills, their calm when demonstrating or giving talks and their leadership as ofďŹ cers of the club. e second half of my 4-H career I had the opportunity to lead and help younger 4-H members learn through their project work and the opportunities offered at the club, county and state levels. I am forever grateful to the older members, the adult volunteers and the Extension specialists who helped me learn by doing. I am also grateful to the 4-Hâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ers of McHenry County who exhibited at the fair last week, reminding me of the legacy of 4-H.

safe distance, until we hit town. atâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where I start my grievances. I can certainly understand the frustrations of delays while driving, especially if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re late. But the morning trafďŹ c in Woodstock Lisa is not very patient, Kucharski or for that matter, safe. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve experienced Editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Notebook some speedy passers and even watched a driver pull up within a foot of my mom and honk the horn. My unpleasant encounters got me thinking about the rules of the road for cyclists. Was I, a cyclist, doing something wrong? Should I be on a sidewalk when sidewalks are present? So, I did some investigating. On the Illinois Legal Aid website, I found the answer to my sidewalk question. State law allows you to ride on the sidewalk but â&#x20AC;&#x153;local ordinances may prohibit bicycles on sidewalks in certain areas.â&#x20AC;? Cyclists can ride on both, but must yield to pe-

destrians. Woodstock city code restricts bicycles on sidewalks in the Square. Question one answered. Next, I wanted to know what rights I have while on the road. According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, bicycles are not vehicles, but they have the rights and responsibilities of vehicles. In other words, drivers must treat cyclists as a fellow driver, especially paying attention at lights and intersections. Illinois â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rules of the Roadâ&#x20AC;? requires drivers to slow down and allow at least 3-feet of space when passing. On the other hand, cyclists also must use the road as a vehicle would â&#x20AC;&#x201C; stopping completely at stop signs, giving vehicles the right-ofway when appropriate, etc. For my own safety, I wanted to know my other responsibilities. I picked up a Bike Safety brochure and â&#x20AC;&#x153;2012 Illinois Rules of the Road.â&#x20AC;? Aside from the generally known, â&#x20AC;&#x153;ride to the far right of the road,â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;travel in the same direction as trafďŹ câ&#x20AC;? rules, I learned bicyclists must stop for school buses; night riding requires a front light visible at 500 feet and a rear red reďŹ&#x201A;ector; use hand signals to communicate when stopping or turning;

and helmets are recommended. By understanding my riding rights, I feel I can be a safer cyclist, but I challenge others to do the same. Practice safe riding and follow the rules. Woodstock drivers need to educate themselves to understand that a bicycle is allowed in the left turn lane, and cyclists signal a right turn with their left hands and arms. According to the most recent US DOT TrafďŹ c Safety Facts, â&#x20AC;&#x153;an estimated 48,000 pedalcyclists were injured in motor vehicle trafďŹ c crashesâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;a total of 677 pedalcyclists were killedâ&#x20AC;? in 2011. Cyclists and drivers should think of each other as friends or family members, being patient and making safe decisions. Respect each other, and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be in such a rush.

Cyclists are drivers too Biking is a great form of exercise. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a low-impact, aerobic activity thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fun and often social way to stay in shape. However, sharing the road can prove dangerous. While I was at school in Kirksville, Mo., I rode my bike everywhere. For the most part, Kirksville is comparable to Woodstock in size and has similar trafďŹ c. With two universities there, drivers have grown accustomed to large numbers of pedestrians and bicyclists and are, for the most part, courteous and willing to share the road. Back in Woodstock now, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ride my bike as often, but my mom and I have ridden to work a few times. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about a 6-mile ride, mostly country roads with trafďŹ c spaced out enough to pass at a

Schools start year with new principals Greenwood, Mary Endres, Olson and Westwood have new top administrators By KATELYN STANEK The Independent Four of Woodstock School District 200’s six elementary schools have new principals this year, but none of the administrators are new to the district. Greenwood, Mary Endres, Olson and Westwood elementary schools all are beginning the school year with different principals, with Tom Wollpert, Keri Pala, Diana Frisbie and Jason Eggert joining their staffs, respectively. All of the employees had previously worked in District 200 schools, with Wollpert having served as principal at Mary Endres, Pala working as an assistant principal at Northwood Middle School, Frisbie having been a teacher facilitator at Verda Dierzen Early Learning Center and Egger having worked as principal at Greenwood. Superintendent Ellyn Wrzeski said hiring and promoting entirely from

within the district was not intentional, but said she believed the experience of the four would serve them well in their new positions. “We pick the best person for the job, and these people were the best,” Wrzeski said. “It’s a beneﬁt to have people who know your district. On the other hand, you never want to become so close that you never bring in new people from the outside — there’s always got to be some balance. Many times we don’t, but it happened that this worked out.” For Wollpert, who served as principal at Mary Endres for six years before moving to Greenwood, his new job is something of a homecoming. e Woodstock resident grew up in Wonder Lake and attended the school as a boy. “I feel like I’m returning home,” Wollpert said. “I went to Greenwood as a student, and I taught at Greenwood for three years. … One of my mentors was Bill Schuette, who was principal here. I always said I wanted to have Mr. Schuette’s job.” Frisbie, who also lives in Woodstock, was a classroom teacher in Dis-

She said she’s looking forward to new challenges at Olson, her new school. “For me, it’s just a wonderful opportunity to take all the experiences I’ve had and to continue to build and grow the staff and the learning community,” Frisbie said. e new principal said she views administrative work as a natural extension of teaching. “I’ve always wanted to be a teacher,” Frisbie said. “I feel like this is an opportunity to continue to be a teacher, but to be a teacher leader. is is about teaching teachers.” Mary Endres’ Pala, who was a teacher for 10 years and most recently worked as an assistant principal at Northwood, said she hopes to use her experience at the middle-school level to inform her work at the elementary school.

It’s an environment that’s always been here; I know we will continue to do that.”

Wasted Plains event coordinator Brandon Pacyna is excited to announce that Capitol Records recording artists Hockey will be headlining the festival this year. “ ey have a national [and international] following,” said Pacyna. “We will have a lot of bands that bring a really great live show.” Hockey singer Benjamin Grubin described his group as “a little bit ’80s hip hop, a little bit classic rock and a little tropical” with a lot of energy and dynamics. He also said there is a larger purpose at work behind Hockey’s music. “Music [for me] sort of started as a wish to impress people,” Grubin said,

“or make them think I was special or there was more than just a shy exterior. Now, it’s about losing myself in something bigger and trying to make art worthy of a place in someone’s life.” e band also features bassist Jeremy Reynolds and keyboardist Ryan Dolliver. “We’re excited to play [at Wasted Plains],” Grubin said. “ e Chicago music scene in general is amazing. We’ve had really fun shows in Chicago consistently.” Pacyna said this year’s ticket sales are already up for the “organically grown” festival. One of the new features for this year is a possible auction/rafﬂe of artwork created by Woodstock artist Scott Meyer featuring Bill Murray. Pacyna said the paintings may be available for rafﬂe, but was not sure at the time of the interview.

Tools, systems and the art of organization For a good part of my life, I kept everything in my head – relationships, schedules, upcoming projects, next steps, due dates – the list goes on. And that worked for a while; especially as my life was not particularly complicated. Unfortunately, I did not realize the point that it stopped working and had to have it pointed out to me. Since then, I have been searching for John and constantly developing perBuckley sonal systems Minding Your and simple tools Business to help me stay on track. At home for personal projects or volunteer work, I typically use Google Suite document writer and spreadsheet tool. I can work on it on any computer anywhere, including on my phone. And I can share it with others very easily. Like 99 percent of businesses in this country, we use the Microsoft Office suites at Adult & Child erapy Services. Regardless of the source, the spreadsheets are invaluable tools. On a simple Excel spreadsheet I keep a running log of contacts – emails, phone calls, letters – so I can know with whom I communicated and what was accomplished. I use Outlook calendar for planning and tracking – from scheduling appointments to blocking off time for regular activities. I have two standing appointments with myself Friday. e first is in the morning to plan the upcoming week. I decide which doctors and donors I will contact and why; I review upcoming meetings and prepare agendas; I draft press releases and social media messages. e second appointment is in the afternoon to collect and review important information about our services at Adult & Child – service hours, cancellations, and number of new evaluations. I input that service information into another spreadsheet I created which provides big-picture perspectives. I retooled the spreadsheets a half-dozen times over the past few months as I realized I had new questions that I wanted answered, such as which doctors are making referrals and how often. It is important for me that the tool can be expanded and adapted. At Adult & Child erapy Services, we use Quickbooks for accounting, Giftworks for donor relationships and AMS for tracking patients’ records. Using systems and tools benefits me and will benefit you personally and professionally.

OWC awarded ‘Best in Biz’ recognition By LISA KUCHARSKI The Independent Other World Computing, a Woodstock technology company that enhances products for computer systems, with headquarters at 2650 Bridge Lane, was awarded gold in Best in Biz 2013 International for Product Line of the Year. “It’s always cool to see an award like this in a national competition,” said OWC founder and CEO Larry O’Connor. “It’s a little different than reviews and productcomparison challenges.” Best in Biz Awards 2013 International is an independent business awards program. OWC won gold for its Aura Pro and Mercury solid-state drive products, which allow users to upgrade their existing Mac and PC computers for better performance and additional storage. O’Connor said the product that won provided enhancements speciﬁcally for the lineup of Apple portables. “Nobody currently manufactures this particular product for Apple’s lineup, which certainly was a boost for us,” O’Connor said. “Apples are more special-

ized and require a very speciﬁc design. While there are plenty of upgrades for a lot of general systems, the MacBook Air has been the No. 1-selling ultra-portable, and we’re the only organization ... that has designed and built a solution for customers to upgrade those systems.” OWC was selected ﬁrst in the product line category out of more than 150 public and private companies from more than 25 countries. e contest was judged by a panel of 43 judges from 18 countries who are industry analysts and members of the press. O’Connor said OWC’s success came from meeting the demand of the technology industry. He said portable machines are an important and growing part of many individuals’ business lives. Depending on the system features users choose, O’Connor said the ultra notebooks – the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro Retina – can potentially come with limited storage from the factory. He said many users need more space on their computers for their work, and OWC offers user-friendly internal, external and portable solutions of up to 480 gigabytes of storage.

“A big part of this is making it easy,” O’Connor said. “ e most important aspect is that the user can buy this product, install it themselves without any difficulty and get the benefit of the product.” Last November, OWC expanded to Austin, Texas, to build its products and enhance its creative team. e Woodstock location, O’Connor said, will remain the company’s headquarters. Ron Dritlein, a five-year employee and head of solid-state development, recently moved from the Woodstock location to Austin to work with the engineering team there to design and produce the drives, like the ones that won the award. Dritlein said he has been working with the award-winning Aura line since early 2010. Dritlein said OWC pushes the doit-yourself philosophy, hosting instructional videos on its website to show customers how to easily install the computer drives. e ease of use was a feature that helped OWC win the product line award. “Essentially, it just adds more storage and more performance to your computer. If you want to store more and go faster, that’s where we come in.”

THE OTTER CHEF

Aug. 7-13, 2013

For Woodstock chef, inspiration comes locally Jame Thompson’s website features creations with Woodstock Farmers Market produce By KATELYN STANEK The Independent Woodstock’s Jame ompson had been an old-school chef for the better part of three decades — his culinary schooling came on the job, his work weeks lasted seven days, and his career, as with so many chefs, took him to restaurants and hotels throughout the United States. But recently, ompson’s work took a decidedly newschool turn when he launched www.theotterchef.com, a website of recipes that feature produce and other products available at the Woodstock Farmers Market. “My ﬁrst concept was to make some recipes for the vendors to hand out,” ompson said. “ e next thing I know, I’m learning WordPress software and publishing photos and learning Photoshop and creating visuals to help them market their product and to help the people using the product.” ompson’s association with farmers market vendors began while he was working on the Woodstock Square, where he said he was drawn to the connection between producers and their customers. “I think in the modern world, we get detached from what our food is,” he said. “It’s

not sitting out there where you can talk to the guy who grew it. You can’t see the dirt, taste the sunshine. It’s just detachment. I think you can be a whole lot more happy if you can be close to the source of your Jame work.” Thompson To that end, ompson began creating recipes and printing them up for farmers market vendors that featured their seasonal offerings — asparagus soup in the spring, squash blossom frittatas in the summer — and concurrently launched e Otter Chef, so named in honor of what ompson described as the creature’s “tenacity.” Partly the result of his interest in the Woodstock Farmers Market and partly to fulﬁll a promise he’d made to his daughter to document his ideas about cooking, ompson said all of his work on the website is united by his belief that fresh food should be eaten at its peak. “ e most important thing about working with food from the market — the most exciting thing — is that everything that is

seasonal and brief is special,” ompson said. “If you go in a restaurant and you ﬁnd caprese salad ... and it’s on the menu in October, you know it’s not going to be good. ere are six weeks in our climate when that salad is unbearably good. at’s the time to eat it; you shouldn’t eat it the rest of the year. at’s what makes it so extremely special. And there a lot of things like that that come into the market.” In addition to recipes, e Otter Chef includes tips on cooking methods and food safety, photo galleries and quips from ompson himself, who inserts his own voice into most of his written work. e chef said his reliance on sharing his own ideas and experiences comes naturally. “I’m sharing my love of this topic with my readers,” he said. “People speak of having a passion for cooking, but for those people, cooking is what they do. But for me, I would work two jobs and go home and read cookbooks. It was beyond a passion, and my feeling is that being a chef is not what I do, it’s who I am at this point in my life — or maybe even what I am, rather than who.” But even ompson, who has plans to work seasonally at an Alaskan resort soon, believes being a chef is only half the story when it comes to the art of food. “My work is only ancillary to what the vendors do,” ompson said. “ ey’re providing you food that will keep you alive. I’m just trying to embellish it.”

FRESH CORN AND SAUSAGE SOUP By Jame Thompson, excerpted from www. theotterchef.com Ingredients For 1.5 quarts 1/2 pound breakfast (or Italian) sausage 6 to 8 ears of fresh corn 1 medium onion, diced 1 to 2 carrots, diced 2 stalks celery, diced 4 cups chicken broth or water 1/2 teaspoon salt (to taste) Directions Sauté the sausage until done. Drain and cut into pieces. Bring the chicken broth to a boil and add onion, carrot and celery. Simmer gently until tender (about 15 minutes), then cut the kernels from the corn and scrape what corn remains on the cobs into the soup. Bring to a boil and add the cut kernels, saving some for garnish. Remove from heat and serve or cool immediately. Notes A big handful of chopped fresh parsley would be great added at the end. Other herbs would be too strong and mask the corn’s ﬂavor.

Looking forward: new plans and programs ough I’ve been director of Woodstock Public Library for just a bit more than six months, I’m pleased to note some significant accomplishments at the library in that relatively short time, with more on the way. So, what does the second half of my first year here at Woodstock look like? Some new services are now available or soon will be: the first Wii, PS3 and Xbox videogames are now on our shelves, and we are looking to significantly increase our e-book holdings with MyMediaMall. As noted in my previous column, we will have an antiques appraisal event this fall and also an expanded Veterans Day program.

On a broader level, the library board, staff and I are currently in the process of ﬁnishing a threeyear plan to help guide us through 2016 and beyond. e process includes Nick an evaluation of the library’s strengths, Weber weaknesses, opporCheck It Out tunities and threats, a review of our mission and goals and a general assessment of what we do well and what we could improve on. e

process also will include our friends and patrons, with patron surveys ready soon. In addition to a general review and plan for the future, we will be taking a particular look at our facility, both inside and out. On the outside, we are exploring how to ﬁx the various leaks in our roof and the cracks in our entryway concrete. On the inside, we’ll be moving a few of our collections and some of the furniture in an effort to make access to our holdings easier and the overall look and feel of the library more appealing. e ﬁrst step is to bring the back issues of newspapers and magazines down-

stairs by the current issues. e next step will be to move the Young Adult area. Some of the details to the internal reorganization are still in development, but by the end of the process, the library should be even better than before. With a bit less than half the year remaining, I look forward to working with the staff to ﬁnish my ﬁrst year strong. As noted last time, if there are things you’d like to see at the library, or changes you’d like us to consider please let us know. See you at the library!

Nick Weber is director of the Woodstock Public Library.

When children’s registration tripled the following year, she said registration was cut off at 60 participants for safety reasons, but this year, they are allowing up to 80 children to compete. “We always try to keep it a really safe event for the kids, keep it a fun, family environment where they can have a good time.” Filetti said this year’s triathlon offers a special division, a men’s and women’s weight class. e “Clydesdale” division is for men over 200 pounds and the “Athena” division is for women over 150. She said she added the divisions to encourage more people to participate. “It provides a little more equalized competition for those of us that are a little on the curvier side,” Filetti said. Compared to other triathlons she has competed in, like the Sugar River Tri near Madison, Wis., Filetti said the we.CAN.tri triathlon is more accessible to competitors of all skill levels and ages. With the exception of her 4-yearold daughter, Maren, Filetti’s husband, Brent, as well as 8-year-old Gabriel and 11-year-old Aidan, have all completed. Aidan Filetti said he began competing in the triathlon when he was 8 years old, the ﬁrst year the event was opened to children. Aidan said his favorite part of the race is the biking and having fun racing with his friends. “I love exercising …. I try to do the best I can, maybe get a good placing, and have fun.” Aidan said he likes that the triathlon has helped him become more competitive, especially since he is now a sixthgrader at Northwood Middle School and plans to participate in cross-country and track. At age 57 and 58, John Silker competed in the ﬁrst two we.CAN.tri triathlons. e former Woodstock High School and Woodstock North High School teacher, who retired last May, has competed in more than 30 triathlons since the late ’70s. Silker said he pursued triathlon com-

petitions after retiring from his semiprofessional football career once triathlon became an event in the Crystal Lake area, which was a “normalized” version modeled on the then newly popular Iron Man Triathlon. “I just loved competing,” Silker said. “I got done with football, and I wasn’t ready to let go of that component of my life.” With experience competing in the 1983 Race Across America, a bike race more than 3,000 miles long from Santa Monica, Cal., to Atlantic City, N.J., Silker said his best leg of the race has always been biking. Silker said he put competitions on pause to raise a family but resumed them later on, as events moved closer to home. He said he enjoys Filetti’s triathlon because it is local, offers reasonable and doable distances and is a safe and comfortable event for new and older-aged competitors. As an experienced participant, Silker said he advises others to “compete at your own pace.” He said success comes from training your body well enough so you can have an enjoyable day competing. He also advises practicing transitions. He said it is important to survey the course ahead of time, check your equipment for any necessary repairs, prepare your gear for the transitions and not change anything on race day. “Older competitors, be smart; listen to your body,” he said. “Ask yourself, ‘is this something that’s safe to do?’ You don’t want to further an injury.” Silker did not compete last year because of a hip injury, which led to a hip replacement in February. He said he is most likely done with triathlons because of the running. But he has already logged in more than 1,000 miles on his bike. For anyone looking to compete in the future, Silker said, “Just do your best. At the ﬁnish line, you go under that banner and say, ‘I did this. I set a goal, and I accomplished it.’”

Country club “ e thing I love about the course is the shot value,” Brown said. “ ere isn’t a shot you can take for granted. You are going to need everything. You might not need all 14 clubs in your bag that day but you still have to hit all the shots. It tests every aspect of your game. It’s going to test you physically and mentally.” Brown said he has seen many golfers come out, look at the scorecard and think erroneously they were going to challenge the course record. “You can’t overpower this golf course,” Brown said. “It doesn’t matter how good

you are or how far you hit it, it’s going to test every part of your game.” e course averages 8,000 rounds or 12,000 total trips around the course a year. Tee times are not taken, but Brown said the wait is never more than 15 to 20 minutes to tee off. WCC has 130 members. Boe noted the club still offers equity memberships and ownership but now is offering annual membership to try and attract younger golfers. WCC is located 10310 Country Club Road.

der and age groups. An adult team division allows for teams of two to three members of either gender ages 14 and older, with each member covering a leg of the race or one member performing two of the three events. e children’s division – a 50- to 100-yard swim, 3.5mile bike ride and 1-mile run for children ages 6 to 14 – was added in the event’s second year, which Filetti said

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Mars Blackmon, played by Spike Lee, was the pitchman for the Nike Air Jordan commercials. Wanting to know what made Michael Jordan so talented, Blackmon would always surmise by the end of every commercial “It’s got to be the shoes.” Mars was absolutely correct. Anyone who has done Jay a lot of walking or Schulz running knows the most important Jay Talking equipment is the shoes. I found this out when my wife and I traveled to London in 2006. I bought a pair of ECCO walking shoes for more than $100 before leaving, and the purchase paid huge dividends. We must have walked at least 10 miles a day, and the only issue I had was breaking in the shoes the first day. ose shoes lasted six years, and the Keen sandals I purchased the same summer are still in use as my oldest son has snagged them from me. I was never one to spend more than $50 to $60 on a pair of shoes until then. Now, I consider the expense a necessity. e shoes I purchased for my personal challenge – to walk an average of 5K per day for a year – are Vasque model 7000M. e majority of my walking has been done in them. I expect they won’t last six years given the amount of wear and tear I am putting on them, but I am hopeful they last through the end of the challenge. I also purchased a pair of ECCO EPR40 sandals as a replacement for my Keens. Last month, I logged 109.45 miles, an average of 3.53 miles per day over 31 days, so I am more than 15 miles over my goal for the month. I was on a pace for 3.7 miles per day until I spent the last four days of the month at Tan-Tar-A Resort at Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri. e resort sits right on the lake, and there is a lot of vertical walking required. I set a personal record of 329 vertical feet at the resort. It was hard to do more than 2.5 miles each day, but I did notice walking has become much easier since I returned to flat ground at home. I try to break up my walking, some in the morning and some at night, so I am not doing it all at once. Most of the walking has been within 2 miles of my house, but I am hoping to start traversing McHenry County Conservation District sites this month as the second part of my challenge is to walk at each of MCCD’s 33 sites. After the first few weeks of walking, I really got into a groove and feel like I am capable of more. My new goal is an average of 4 miles a day, which will push the total miles walked for the year to 1,460. To make up 15 miles from the first month, I will add .1 to my daily goal making it 4.1. I competed in my first 5K, the Run

Staying the same, becoming No. 1 Woodstock Country Club is named the No. 1 nine-hole course in Illinois by Golf Digest By JAY SCHULZ The Independent Not much has changed at Woodstock Country Club since it opened in 1916. Designed by Tom Bendelow, considered by many as the Johnny Appleseed of American golf, the original 36 acres of the course were purchased for $50 an acre in 1915. Bendelow famously designed Medinah Country Club course No. 3, which has hosted the U.S. Open, the U.S. Senior Open and the PGA Championship. What distinguishes WCC, recently named by Golf Digest as the No. 1 ninehole course in Illinois, is the land it was built on. “ e land, the terrain, you’re just not going to go anywhere and ﬁnd anything as rolling and picturesque as here,” said WCC superintendent Bob Kronn. “It’s just a beautiful piece of land. Nothing was moved. It’s all natural.” “ at’s very much a design trait of [Bendelow],” said WCC golf professional Allen Brown, who noted Bendelow’s nickname was ‘18-stake Bendalow.’ “When he laid out a course, he would literally pound a stake at the tee, and he would pound a stake at the green, and he would just keep walking. … He had to use

the land because he couldn’t move it.” e property and the prime condition of the course led Golf Digest to rank WCC the No. 1 nine-hole course in Illinois and in the top 25 in the United States. “Everything is where it was when [Bendelow] laid it out,” Brown said. “ ere are a few bunkers that aren’t there anymore, a few trees that are gone and a few bunkers in spots they weren’t before. But for the most part, it has remained unchanged. “ at’s one of the things that impressed them the most – getting to see Bendelow’s original work.” Kronn, who has worked at WCC for 11 years, is in charge of everything outside of the clubhouse. “Over the years, we have gone through a lot of work to improve the course with playability and aesthetics,” Kronn said. “I would say it’s the most playable course in McHenry County.” “ is guy is a miracle worker,” said WCC president Charlie Boe. “ e golf course, especially since Bob took over, is in prime condition. You are not going to ﬁnd greens in the county any better than these.” Brown said members as well as employees take pride in the course and

work together to take care of it. “It’s a very unique situation,” Brown said. “Everyone is so willing to pitch in and do what they can and are so proud of what we have. at doesn’t go into the ranking, but it is something we are blessed with.” “We are more of a working man’s club,” said Boe, who has been a member for 24 years. “Most of us are your average Joetype members who want to have a feeling of a private membership without the expense of most private clubs.” Kronn, who is an avid golfer and has been superintendent at three other courses, said he believes the playability at WCC is top shelf. “ e playability out here is great, and it goes back to the land,” Kronn said. “To me the key is playability. It’s all about golf. Whatever we do out there is for the game. “It’s a good test of golf. A good player comes out and has to work because you will never ﬁnd a level lie.” Brown worked as an assistant at Crystal Lake Country Club and Boulder Ridge Country Club before taking over as the WCC professional 16 years ago.

Triathlon at Emricson enters fourth year By LISA KUCHARSKI The Independent Once again, participants of all ages can try out their swimming, biking and running abilities in the family-friendly, sprint-length we.CAN.tri triathlon. e fourth annual event begins at 7 a.m. Sunday, Aug. 11, at Emricson Park, with a new

competition division. Carrie Filetti, event organizer, founder and participant, started the event as a fun way for her and her family to stay active close to home throughout the summer. More importantly, she said the event is a fundraiser for organizations like the American Heart Association, e Cure Starts Now orga-

nization in memory of Hope Fuller and, for the past two years, the Gavers Community Cancer Foundation. Filetti said the triathlon continues to grow, totaling 130 participants last year. e adult division – a 400yard swim, 12.4-mile bike ride and 3.5-mile run – is for individuals 14 and older, with awards divided by gen-
