Councilman wants zoning changes for ‘eyesore’ rental properties

Woodstock City Councilman Mike Turner would like to see the city take on what he called “eyesores” in Woodstock’s downtown area — houses, many of which he said are multifamily rental units, that have fallen into disrepair as compared to neighboring residences.

“I think there are structures in the city that are in neighborhoods with very nice, big — or small, it doesn’t matter — singlefamily homes, and then we will have one that has been cut up into a two- or three- or four-flat,” Turner said. “If you look at our zoning map and you look at those structures, I believe if we have an ability as a municipality to try to get houses back to single-family homes, I think that’s something worth exploring.”

Turner made his suggestion at a summer planning meeting of the Woodstock City Council, where he proposed using zoning law to turn multifamily properties into singlefamily housing.

“Where you’ve got a property that’s clearly not being attended to and clearly an eyesore, are there ways to use our zoning to try to get our houses back to single-family? I think it would be worth taking a look. I hear those concerns from residents all the time,” he said.

Turner said it was “too early to say” how he would like the city to progress with his proposal, but said creating incentives for landlords — through property-tax deductions or other means — to turn their rental properties into single-family homes is something the city should explore.

Turner added he was not concerned about a reduction in the number of rental units available in Woodstock, citing the downturn in the local real estate market.

“I’m not convinced that Woodstock has an affordable housing issue,” Turner said. “I would like city staff to look into whether we have the ability and authority to consider changing zoning on a property back to what it once was. At some point, somebody said, ‘Let’s take this parcel and go from single-family to multifamily zoning.’”

Wonder Lake’s Galt Airport is under new ownership

By RHONDA MIX The Independent Claude Sonday couldn’t be happier with his recent purchase of the 172acre Galt Airport in Wonder Lake.

He and his wife, Diane, previously owned Harley-Davidson stores in Woodstock and throughout McHenry County and said they wanted the airport – which had seen the land on which it sits go into foreclosure prior to their official July 12 purchase – to remain an important part of the community.

“It was a last minute thing. We wanted

to make sure the airport stayed the way it was,” said Diane Sonday. “We want it to grow, to be a profitable asset to the community. It’s very exciting to us. ...

It’s nothing we’d ever thought we’d do, but it was the right time and we didn’t want to lose the airport. ere are not many airports like this around.” e Sondays, who previously lived in Grayslake, have been regulars at the airport since 1981.

Galt Airport friends involved in aviation.”

Founded in 1950 by Arthur T. Galt Jr., Galt Airport has been used as a gathering place for aviators over the years, as well as a place for obtaining airplane fuel, mechanical services, rental planes and hangar space. Otherwise known as “One Zero Charlie,” the airport offers flying lessons for students of all ages and levels and features 98 hangars, a 2,800-foot paved east/west runway and a 2,200-foot north/south grass runway.

It also has a secret – a secluded guest cabin complete with a stocked fishing pond lies hidden in one corner of the property. is private escape is used by hangar tenants who want to unwind for awhile.

Galt hosts a chapter of the Experimental Aircraft Association and regularly sponsors events for children’s aviation groups such as the Civil Air Patrol, the Young Eagles and Scouts.

Remodeling efforts under the Sondays have included resurfacing runways, improving buildings and acquiring new planes for the flying lesson fleet. ere also are plans to upgrade the aviation fuel station and possibly sell airplanes in the future. Diane Sonday said she has her heart set on painting the main office purple, of which she first needs to convince her husband.

Cleland encouraged people to explore aviation. “ ere’s going to be a shortage of pilots in the future,” he said. “Everybody has to start somewhere.”

David Monroe, a pilot for the Aerostars national aerobatic demo team – a team of pilots who fly in Yak 52 TW, former Soviet-designed World War II trainers – has housed his Aerostars plane in a hangar at Galt Airport since 1994.

“I love the people here,” he said when asked what keeps him coming

back. “ ere’s also a large aerobatic community that’s always flown out of Galt, ever since when Mr. Galt was in charge.”

Woodstock resident and pilot Larry Schubert has been a regular at Galt since 1996 and also keeps his plane in one of the hangars.

“My wife bought me flying lessons, and I’ve been there ever since,” he said.

“I love [the Sondays] and I couldn’t be happier with their purchase. Galt is important to the community for a lot of reasons, and it’s not just a place to fly,” he continued. “I love the people, the sense of community, the cookouts and events. I hope it always remains an airport. [ e Sondays] have already had a large, positive impact in only a few weeks.”

Diane Sonday said she hopes people understand that aviation is not expensive and learning how to fly is easily attainable.

“Everybody’s dream is to fly,” she said. “We want to get more people up in the air.”

Schubert said he also would like to see more people come to Galt and test their pilot wings.

“I’d like to see [the airport] grow and evolve,” he said. “ ere are not just young people learning to fly here, there are people my age. I’m in my 60s and it’s a wonderful activity. It’s like my own personal country club.”

Police said Farkas was traveling southbound on East Wonder Lake Road in the early morning when his motorcycle went off the road at Spaatz Avenue. He was

taken to Centegra Hospital - McHenry, where he was pronounced dead. At press time, the accident was under investigation by the McHenry County Sheriff’s Police.

“I think it would look nice from the sky,” she said.

Airport manager and flight instructor Justin Cleland and his partner, maintenance director Brian Spiro, said they are pleased with the Sondays’ purchase of the airport. Both men believe the airport is an integral part of the community and said it is important to keep small airports around.

Raise a glass to a 2-day Oktoberfest

By LISA KUCHARSKI The Independent While Oktoberfest will not be in October this year, the second-annual event will be spread over two days – Friday and Saturday, Sept. 13 and 14 – for Germanbased food, beer, fun and music at Woodstock Water Works. e Woodstock Mozart Festival paired with the Rotary Club on an event last year to bring Oktoberfest traditions to Woodstock. Although it drew a large crowd, Marsha Portnoy, marketing committee member for Oktoberfest, said last year’s event did not create the fundraising the Rotary Club and the Mozart Festival were hoping for. She said the inaugural Oktoberfest was a single day for people ages 21 and older and did not account for the low October temperatures.

Despite the cold, Portnoy said “everyone had a good time. It was like they were at a wedding. Everyone was laughing and drinking and dancing and singing.”

Because of the atmosphere and enjoyment the event brought, she said the two groups

decided to host the festivities again, but with a few changes.

Instead of a single day of celebration, Sept. 13 will feature a performance by local band Hans & the Hormones, as part of the Rocktoberfest from 5 to 11 p.m. Sept. 14 is a more family-oriented day from 11:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. with daytime activities for all ages including geo trekking, a professional puppet show, polka dancing and singalongs with a strolling accordionist. Traditional oompah band Die Musikmeisters will be returning, and ‘40s swing-style band Let’s Dance also will perform. Only ages 21 and older will be permitted at the event after 9 p.m. both days.

Portnoy said children can attend for free this year, if accompanied by a parent. “We wanted to make it very easy for families,” she said. “So, if you’re 18 and you want to go with mom or dad, you can get in for nothing, but you still can’t drink.”

Another difference Portnoy noted was the ticket prices. Last year’s price was $30, and, while this year’s $12-at-the-door price does not include food, she hopes it will draw in more people.

“It’s two long-standing Woodstock organizations that are focused on engaging the community, creating events and supporting organizations that give back to the community,” said Oktoberfest chairman John Buckley.

Buckley said he volunteered his experience as a Woodstock Rotarian this year from his past involvement with Oktoberfests in Naperville.

From his experience, Buckley said a two-day event in Woodstock could draw a larger audience and, hopefully, prove more successful for the Rotary and Mozart Festival organizations. He said while Saturday’s music and activities will provide a more traditional German feel, Friday’s Rocktoberfest should provide the variety they were looking for.

“Saturday we’ll have a bit more of that traditional oompah band, polka band music which everybody loves, but at a certain point, there’s a limit to how much you can really handle that much accordion in a day,” he said jokingly.

the field. Hay sales from the villageowned plot of land have provided some funding for the project, and Vance said Bull Valley officials hope to get as much out of the field as possible before building the park. “ e weather has been the worst for this hay, which slowed us down in purchasing materials,” Vance said. “We still plan to have something finished this fall.”

Vance said some work has begun, including tearing down old fencing and purchasing materials, but seed grass, a water system and new fencing, among other additions, are awaiting the third cutting of the field. He said progress also is pending a finalized agreement between Bull Valley and Woodstock. Despite being located in Bull Valley, an agreement with the city of Woodstock would mean the city’s residents would have access to the dog park.

Woodstock City Manager Roscoe Stelford said an agreement between the municipalities will appear on the agenda for the City Council meeting

Tuesday, Sept. 3. He said the agreement will allow residents of Bull Valley and Woodstock to utilize the dog park, with Woodstock providing 50 percent of the capital construction costs for the park. e anticipated cost of the park is not to exceed $25,000, or $12,500 each for the city and village. e proposed agreement for the park, laid out in the 2013-2014 fiscal year budget plan, was revised because the village of Bull Valley opted to use a well and septic system instead of tapping into Woodstock’s sewer system, eliminating the need for the city to run utilities to the park. “ ere has been a demand for a dog park in our community, so this was a good time to work together on this,” Stelford said. “It’s in a good location for both Woodstock and Bull Valley. It’s maximizing our residents’ resources.”

Vance said Bull Valley’s parks and recreation committee is looking into creating charter memberships to help fund the park in order to have it open by fall.

County extension office hires local foods educator

By LISA KUCHARSKI The Independent With “some of the finest and richest farmland in the world with very high levels of productivity,” – a finding from the recent McHenry County Local Food Assessment – McHenry County is an agricultural mecca. Because of the need to facilitate crop information to area farmers, the University of Illinois Extension of McHenry and Lake Counties recently hired Constanza “Connie” Echaiz as the counties’ first local food systems and small farms educator.

County Director James Reaves said the U of I Extension, the parent extension for the state, started the local foods education program several years ago, but recently saw a need to promote it further. About two years ago, Reaves said the extension began to hire more local foods/small farms educators throughout the state, depending on the need of the area. While many counties in southern states do not require an extension educator because the production is heavily rowcrop, he said counties in Illinois, like McHenry, that

have many vegetable growers could benefit from the resources provided by this new position. e recent county food assessment, initiated to support the viability of the local food system and Connie farmland protection Echaiz in McHenry County, indicated a majority of agricultural land in the county is for commodity crops, more than 200,000 acres. Almost 2,000 acres from 82 local farms are for vegetable, melon, potato and sweet potato production, and many small farmers grow specialty crops like fruits and produce meat, honey and dairy items.

“We’re really excited about having, for the first time, a local foods educator,” Reaves said. “When our growers wanted to have some educational program, they would have to go outside of the unit, but now we have an educator here.”

Echaiz began her work as the local food systems and small farms extension

educator July 1. A native of Chile, Echaiz grew up on a small farm in the suburbs of Santiago, riding horses and maintaining her family’s small gardens of fruits and vegetables. With a degree in agronomy from the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile, she took her interest in weed science to the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center in Wooster. ere, she completed her master’s in horticulture and crop science, studying new herbicides and creating specific weed management plans.

As the extension educator, Echaiz will provide resources, information and programs to area farmers, restaurant owners and consumers. She said her goal is ultimately to support the farmers market through the local system.

“We have many farmers here in McHenry County, but we have [consumer] markets in Lake, so if we can create that connection between both counties, we’ll be great,” she said.

Echaiz said she also will serve farmers as a sort of “crop doctor,” diagnosing productivity issues with plants and prescribing multiple options for using

herbicides. Different from mass crops, she said she enjoys working with specialty crops because the small farmers operating vineyards, berry farms and vegetable farms, as well as local beekeepers, have a connection with their crops and a desire to learn more about them.

“I feel like I’m helping that guy,” Echaiz said. “Probably so romantic, my idea of agriculture, so that is why I think the local is the solution.”

With strong programs in the county like the Master Gardeners and 4-H, Echaiz said there is a large amount of resources and educational opportunities toward promoting local farming. She said she also helps to review material in Spanish to provide for Spanish speakers in the area, and she continually researches changes in policies, agricultural practices and consumer trends.

By next summer, Echaiz said she hopes to coordinate with local farmers markets to provide nutritional programming to low-income youth and adults in Illinois through a federal grant program called SNAP - the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.

Courthouse shouldn’t sit on city’s books e historic Old Courthouse building on the Square is one of downtown Woodstock’s most iconic buildings. On that point, few would disagree.

But recent years have been difficult for the building listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Having fallen into disrepair and serving as home to more pigeons than tenants, it was “donated” by its previous owner to the city of Woodstock, which promised to fix up the building on its own dime and then sell it to a worthy buyer. But as time has passed, it seems the city has come to the realization that finding a buyer for a building constructed in 1857 — with all the charm and headaches that come along with it — won’t be easy. With that in mind, the city of Woodstock has turned at least some of its attention to the prospect of what to do if it can’t find a private buyer dedicated to preserving the courthouse.

When the deal to take ownership of the Old Courthouse first went through, it was done so with a public proclamation that city ownership would be a temporary matter, a necessary step to take in order to secure the crumbling building for future owners. In short, the city was prepared to invest millions in the property in the hopes that someone else would foot the bill for millions more in repairs. Were the city to own the courthouse for the foreseeable future, it would end up having to cover all of those costs — and, in serving as landlord for a building no one else wanted to buy, it would take on financial risks the marketplace itself was not willing to bear.

Concurrent with the discussion about the potential of the city becoming the longterm owner of the building was a push to aggressively market the courthouse to potential buyers — to find a person or entity willing to invest time and money into this Woodstock icon. is means that, even as the city braces itself for the possibility that the building won’t sell, it’s still making plans to turn over the courthouse to another entity. is outcome is a positive. e chance that the city could see itself becoming landlord is not. e emotional value of the Old Courthouse cannot be underestimated, a reality that will make any of the city’s dealings with it difficult.

But in a time when budgets are still relatively low and every official is intent on declaring the city fiscally responsible, investing more taxpayer money into a building it can’t sell on the open market would be a mistake. It would also be a betrayal of an assurance the city made to its residents when it took on the Old Courthouse in 2011. Woodstock must continue to make every effort to turn over the courthouse to private hands. Anything else is a broken promise.

Metra’s Schaffer needs to go Longtime Metra treasurer and board member Jack Schaffer must join the line of Illinois transit executives departing in disgrace. On top of financial scandals surrounding Phil Pagano and Alex Clifford, the last two CEOs of Metra, during his time as the agency’s top financial official, recent revelations show that Schaffer and his cronies squandered an additional $2.8 million by failing again in their roles as watchdogs. Instead of hiring additional forces, which would have made Metra customers safer at a reduced cost, he signed off on millions of dollars in overtime payments to Metra police.

Four members of the board have recently resigned, and the rest need to go now. Schaffer should have been removed years ago when it was discovered that Phil Pagano stole hundreds of thousands of dollars from the railroad while he was treasurer. I, for one, have

Tryon and his ilk are responsible for this mess, too I am writing to draw attention to the glaring inconsistency between the image and reality of State Rep. Mike Tryon. Rep.

After visiting Woodstock, the TV channel would like to mount a camera near the top of the Old Courthouse cupola, looking down on the Square. The camera is fairly small, weatherproof and requires little maintenance.

It is impossible for me to square the notion of a representative voting against fixing our state’s nearly $100 billion pension crisis with someone that in the same breath refers to himself as “fiscally conservative.” Most Republicans in the Illinois House are actually not conservative at all: as a whole, less than half voted for any type of pension reform.

I truly wish the media would drill down beyond Mike Madigan and expose that Republicans like Mike Tryon are equally responsible for the mess our state finds itself in. ey are not interested in making tough choices if it may result in losing an election down the road.

Apparently, one does not have to be a Chicago Democrat to be addicted to holding public office and eating from the public trough.

We learned several more bits of information while watching the Cornbelters lose 5-2. Illinois is third in the nation in popcorn production. In fact, 47,000 acres of popcorn are planted in Illinois each year. We also learned Beer Nuts are processed and packaged in Bloomington/Normal. e highlight of our trip was our day at the Farm Progress Show. We arrived shortly after 9 a.m., giving us three hours to take in what we could

of the more than 500 exhibits on the 640-acre site before I needed to report to the 4-H Foundation booth.

Our ďŹ rst “WOWâ€? was seeing the world’s ďŹ rst 30-row corn head. It is designed to harvest 30 rows of corn, planted 12 inches apart. It is enormous – obviously more than 30 feet wide.

We saw display after display after display of shiny, new green, red, yellow and orange tractors and combines – all much, much, much larger than the equipment used in our growing-up days. Jim read the specs for one of the tractors. It had a 400-gallon fuel tank.

Many of the companies and farm organizations used 21st-century marketing to communicate with farmers, many of whom use GPS to guide their equipment when planting and harvesting their crops. In the Corn Growers tent, a video on the history of ethanol caught my attention. Henry Ford in the early 1900s was the ďŹ rst to see the potential value of ethanol as a fuel.

Bootleggers took ethanol production and use to a whole new level as they fueled their vehicles with their own product, allowing them to leave pursuing law enforcement agents in the

dust. After prohibition, bootleggers and their ethanol-powered racers were the early NASCAR favorites. So the use of ethanol is more than 100 years old.

Jim picked up another interesting bit of information. Nearly 50 percent of the Illinois corn crop has been used for ethanol production in recent years.

One more thought on farmers using technology: I wanted to take some notes for this column. I thought I could stop by one of the seed company booths and pick up a notebook like my father carried in the pocket of his bib overalls. After looking over the offerings of a few seed companies, I saw the light. Farmers don’t write their notes on small notebooks anymore. So, I did what they do. I made notes on my smartphone. e best part of our two days away was being with the people – the farmers who grow our food and fuel and the representatives from the companies who build their equipment and sell them seed and other inputs. ey were courteous, fun and friendly.

Haderlein Over time, regulaThe Nature tions were enacted of Things to help protect the commonly used air and water so that the decisions of some to release pollution into them were balanced with the health and well-being of all people. ese regulations improved life and the economy for everyone. Rivers don’t catch on ďŹ re, Lake Erie isn’t dead, and one cannot see the air in U.S. cities.

Yet, problems persist. An island of plastic trash in the PaciďŹ c Ocean is larger than Texas. Coal mining companies literally remove the material from the top of mountains in Appalachia and dump the rock onto the surrounding landscape to mine the coal in the mountains. Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking,

to extract natural gas that is trapped in shale formations deep underground, has resulted in polluted water supplies from Pennsylvania to Australia. e situation is what economists have long described as “the tragedy of the commons,� meaning that when individuals make decisions about the use of shared resources, they will act in their own self-interest, whether or not that is good or bad for the community. Another way of putting it is that people and businesses tend to make decisions based on short-term gains rather than long-term sustainability.

For those who saw “ e Loraxâ€? movie, or read the book, the story is familiar. Use and despoil the local resources so long as a proďŹ t can be made, then when the money dries up, move on and start over some place new.

Personally, I object to the term tragedy because it implies that there is some aspect of fate that led to the bad situation. It is tragic when a man catches the early train to get home to surprise the family, only to be killed when that train is derailed in a collision with a truck. It is not tragic when a company injects toxic chemicals into a well, knowing that 5 percent of the well casings will fail, and the chemi-

cals then show up in local wells and people get sick. I would not call that a tragedy – I would call it a crime.

We all share the commons ere is a concept known as the commons that refers to all of the natural resources that do not belong to any single entity or individual, but belong to society as a whole.

Commons include air, water, navigable rivers, the oceans and the like.

Every living thing needs some combination of air and water to live. And rivers and oceans are in constant motion, so they do not lend themselves to individual ownership.

What hasn’t always been clear is whether some have the right to pollute the commons – or overďŹ sh the oceans, rivers and lakes – even if that spoils them for others. Before clean air and water laws, people and businesses pol-

Tentative school budget placed for review New budget calls for expenditures of $88M, a 5.4 percent increase over last year

By ELIZABETH HARMON The Independent Woodstock School District 200’s tentative 2013-2014 budget calls for total expenditures of $88,480,295 and total revenues of $86,228,051. Within the district’s three main operating funds — Education, Operations and Maintenance, and Transportation — total expenditures are $62,996,315.

Employee salaries and benefits account for about 88 percent of expenditures in

the operating funds. is year’s expenditures represent a 5.4 percent increase over last year, and include an increase of more than 20 percent in capital outlay expenditures. is year, the district expects to spend $416,000 on those expenditures versus $345,270 in 2012-2013. e bulk of the capital outlay expenditures are going toward technology upgrades, which are funded by a state technology loan of $325,000.

On the revenue side, 74 percent of the total $86,228,051 will come from local sources, primarily property taxes. is past year, the district’s Equalized Assessed Value was $851,393,533. is represents an 11 percent decrease from the year before.

Along with a team of talented helpers, she started an outdoor classroom space in the form of a garden with three unique parts, each with a different story. e project began last fall when Cherniak and parishioner Ken Mokry took an outdoor classroom course at the McHenry County Conservation District. ey learned about native plant life and plant selection, as well as the benefits of giving students outdoor time during the school day.

“According to the National Wildlife Federation,” Cherniak said, “school kids spend an average of less than 10 minutes outdoors each week.” e first part of the garden began last fall, when a team of junior high

Between this year’s incoming revenue and budgeted spending are planned fund balance expenditures of about $2.2 million, which include $840,197 from the education fund, $908,923 from the debt service repayment fund and approximately $540,400 from the capital improvement, developer impact fee and life/safety funds, which will be spent on repairs and improvements identified throughout the school year.

Hanson said she believes the district’s finances look solid for the coming year.

“We’re in a good position, but as always, we’ll continue to monitor,” Hanson said. e budget is available for public review at the District 200 administrative office, 227 W. Judd St. A public hearing and a vote to adopt the budget will take place at the board of education’s Sept. 24 meeting.

For 2013-2014, the district expects to receive $13,317,447 versus $10,378,621 in 2012-2013.

District 200 Chief Financial Officer Risa Hanson reported that the district has received all of its expected general state aid for 2012-2013; Aug. 10, the district received its first payment of $369,210 for 20132014. ough categorical payments are still behind, the delay has gotten shorter.

“At this time, we’re three to six months behind in some, but not all, of our categorical reimbursements,” Hanson said. “ ey have caught up somewhat. We were nine to 12 months behind.

Contest, Bryan White concert coming to high school

By RHONDA MIX The Independent Who will be the next Woodstock Idol?

On Saturday, Sept. 7, 16 students from Woodstock High School, Woodstock North High School and Northwood Middle School will compete for the title of Woodstock Idol.

Producing the event are Woodstock resident Tami Borman and her husband, Erik, owners of BET Express Freight. e Bormans have two children, Erin and Tyler, who are students at WNHS. Tami Borman said the idea for the competition and the concert was spawned by a phone call from Grammy Award-winning artist Bryan White, a friend of the family who has performed in concert in the Woodstock area several times. “[Bryan] loves this community and always says it feels like home when he comes here,” Borman said. “Bryan really wanted to give back to our community and loves to involve kids in any way he can. He called me and said he would like to run in the Chicago Half Marathon on Sept. 8 for a charity called Ordinary Hero, and could we put together a concert as well? So needless to say, we started the ball rolling. Knowing his love for Woodstock and his love for helping children, the idea of Woodstock Idol was born.”

“I love the vibe of Woodstock,” White said. “It’s laid back, quaint and the people are extremely warm …. . We’ve been doing a show every year for many years in Woodstock, but this year, we wanted to do something different. Something with

White stressed the importance of music and music education in the community. “[Music in general] is important because it provides a unique opportunity for literacy preparation,” he said. “Music is a more potent instrument than any other for education. It’s academic. It’s physical. It’s emotional. Music is life.”

Students chosen to participate in the Woodstock Idol competition will pay a $10 entry fee. Performers will be judged by audience members – each member of the audience will receive a vote ticket to place in a ballot box. Following White’s concert, the votes will be counted and the winner announced by White. ere will be a $300 cash prize for first place, $150 for second place and $50 for third place.

“We are so proud of this idea for a show and think this will be a great experience for the contestants,” said Borman.

“I mean, how many people can say they opened for a Grammy Award-winning, multiplatinum star?

“I would like to thank Woodstock North and the school district for allow-

“Our hope is to bring some funds to them through this concert. at’s what community is all about, giving back.”

Tickets are $20 for the event. A per-

centage of all ticket sales and sponsorships will go to the school district for music programs.

Local author fair coming to bookstore

By LISA KUCHARSKI The Independent As local author fairs become more popular at Read Between the Lynes, owner Arlene Lynes has been reading more into their purpose.

“It’s a great way for people to see and recognize the benefit of local business,” she said. “I think Woodstock is very lucky that we have a great sense of community, but maybe that hasn’t completely carried over to the business scene.”

Lynes’ store will host a local author fair from noon to 2 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 8, at 129 Van Buren St. e event will feature authors Joe Gustaitis, Chicago; Joyce Kocinski, Elgin; Kay Clark, Lake in the Hills; and Carol Batzlaff, Chicago.

Lynes, whose business has served area readers for eight years, said bringing in local authors does more than create an attraction for her store and new material for readers — it promotes authors in their selfpublishing endeavors. “ ere are a lot of people who want to come in,” Lynes said. “ ey are definitely looking for outlets where they can be in front of the public and sell their books.”

After the fair, Lynes said the authors’ books will remain on store shelves for a few months.

“You never know what kind of book you’re going to find, or who you might meet or what story you might hear,” Lynes said. “It’s a great sense of discovery.”

How to have a meeting As I said before, I have a degree in history. I took a few graduate-level business courses before a second child and a mortgage, but overall my education has come through experience, which could explain some things. I don’t have a deep knowledge of business classes at any level high school, undergraduate or graduate. But it seems, after an exhaustive, 10-minute Google search, they are all missing one key class: meetings.

Over my career, I have had many meetings. I had days where I leave one meeting early to be late for the next meeting. I have John meetings at work. As Buckley a volunteer, I meet for service clubs and Minding Your special events.

Business I like to meet, and yet I hate meetings.

I like to meet because I’m a social guy.

Meeting with people is energizing, and yet, I hate meetings.

I hate meetings because most of us (and I include myself in this) do not know how to have a meeting. We have never been taught how to have a meeting. We don’t prepare; we invite the wrong people; we don’t guide discussions; we feel we have to be invited to every meeting; we derail conversations; we pursue tangents; we rehash old business; we don’t follow up; and we don’t make decisions.

However, in the spirit of not being just a complainer, I offer a solution for future generations of meeting holders and attendees. I am rolling out a new class, “How to have a Meeting 101.”

Outlined below is the syllabus: How to Have a Meeting 101 Course description: At the end of the four week class, participants will be able to organize, lead and attend positive, effective meetings.

Textbooks: “Death by Meeting” by Patrick Lencioni and “ e Manager’s Guide to Effective Meetings” by Barbara Streibel Week 1 – Calling a meeting – determining appropriate participants, preparing for a meeting Homework –Call a meeting, invite attendees and prepare an agenda Week 2 – Starting a meeting – creating engagement among attendees Homework – Lead a meeting – doesn’t have to be work related; write a post-meeting critique.

Week 3 – e meat of the meet – following agenda, maintaining pace, decision styles Homework – Participate in a meeting as a scribe or timekeeper; write a post-meeting critique.

Week 4 – Ending a meeting and postmeeting work Homework – 25-page single-space paper on one aspect of the overall meeting experience If anyone is interested in helping me launch this class, call me and we will set up a time to meet. I’ll prepare the agenda.

Young Masters expands its focus

By KATELYN STANEK The Independent

As owner of Young Masters Martial Arts, 110 S. Johnson St., Rob Knuth has plenty of experience in fitness. For sixand-a-half years, the martial arts studio in the basement of the Woodstock Square Mall has served children looking to earn their stripes — or belts — in a variety of disciplines.

But earlier this summer, Knuth’s company moved beyond martial arts, opening Young Masters Fitness Studio while expanding to take over an additional 3,000 square feet across from its previous studio.

“Our vision is to try to be a healthy environment for everyone,” said Knuth.

To that end, the fitness studio employs a nutritionist, specialized instructors and trainers in a variety of disciplines. Among them are Julie Doerr, who has worked as a fitness trainer for about three years and who described her job as “incredibly re-

Included in the studio’s lineup are tai chi, classes that utilize suspension training and ropes and a variety of selections intended to help people of different athletic abilities.

“We want to keep adding more and more classes, because every person has a different need,” Knuth said. at focus — on serving not just experi-

We have fitness needs today that we didn’t have before.”

For Knuth, whose daughter, Jennifer Knuth, runs her own fitness studio in Elmhurst, this recent expansion is the latest phase in a life dedicated to conditioning.

“I’ve been involved in martial arts for 44 years,” he said. “It’s exciting, because fitness is here to stay.”

The strange and fascinating House on the Rock As a child, I visited e House on the Rock in Spring Green, Wis., a few times with my family. I went once Rhonda again in my Mix early 20s Roaming With and since Rhonda I hadn’t visited in a number of years, I thought it would be a good time to make the trek out to a place I’d always found whimsical.

First, a bit of history. e House on the Rock is located in southern Wisconsin’s Wyoming Valley. It opened in 1959. Architect Alex Jordan Jr. launched the attraction by first constructing a Japanese-style home high atop a pinnacle dubbed “Deer Shelter Rock,” overlooking the valley. Some people say he built the house to spite famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright, who was rumored to have told Jordan he wasn’t capable of becoming an architect and “couldn’t build a chicken coop.”

A highlight of the Japanese house is the 3,264 window Infinity Room, which features a cantilevered structure that extends 218 feet across and 156 feet above the valley.

Jordan, an avid collector of items weird and wonderful – and some things frightening – decided to add additional buildings on to the original structure. Over

the next several decades, he created a sprawling alternate reality with dimly lit rooms and winding multileveled hallways. His gargantuan collections are what the attraction is best known for.

It is difficult to paint a picture of what exists behind the walls and in the rooms of e House on the Rock. e vibrant sights one will encounter can be overwhelming at times and don’t make much sense.

One word of advice before embarking on a tour – leave no corner unexplored, not even the bathrooms (I encountered a village of ice-skating and sledding penguins in one bathroom). e collections take over every nook and cranny and pop up where least expected. Be prepared to spend at least a few hours exploring.

According to a review on roadsideamerica.com, “ e House on e Rock is the world’s most bizarre and vast collection of stuff – everything from scrimshaw and medieval armor to carousel horses and mechanical music machines – and all of it may be fake. Or all of it may be real.”

Jordan acquired a number of authentic antiques but was said to have been fond of displaying knockoffs and tricking people. It is difficult to tell what items are real when wandering around the rooms, though a few fakes are easy to spot – such as the case full of jeweled crowns, which I’m sure were not donated by European monarchs.

An Asian influence is infused heavily throughout the attraction. Items such as Asian dolls, puppets and trinkets pop up

randomly.

Other House on the Rock collections include guns, masks, animated toys, armory, a massive collection of doll houses, clocks, stairways leading to nowhere and random oddities such as one-eyed smiling pineapple faces that beckon you even as they repel you.

Highlights of the tour include “ e Streets of Yesterday,” a recreation of an early 20th-century American town; “ e Heritage of the Sea,” an exhibit featuring nautical collections and a giant 200-foot floor-to-ceiling sculpture of an octopus attacking a whale; “ e Music of Yesterday” exhibit, which features a collection of automatic music machines; and a giant carousel that displays 20,000 lights and 269 fantasy creatures, but no horses. e horses actually are tacked to a wall at one end of the Carousel Room. Also in this room, life-sized mannequins donning

angel wings hang suspended from the ceiling and stare down at passersby.

One section of the attraction may lead visitors to feel as if they’ve fallen into a Dr. Seuss story – another section may give off an old museum vibe.

A reviewer dubbed e House on the Rock as the “stuff nightmares are made of.” ough I found the review funny, I mostly disagree with that statement as I find the attraction imaginative. However, the doll carousel, creepy mannequins, clown and joker statues, circus collection, Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and the nude goat girl playing the violin – a statue that bids you an unsettling farewell as you exit the tour – are indeed completely horrifying.

I’ll put it this way – I like e House on the Rock, but I wouldn’t want to be trapped inside overnight. It does seem like the kind of place where man-

nequins might come to life when no one is looking.

As I exited the building on my most recent visit, my brain and eyes were swimming.

As if management realized a tour of e House on the Rock might cause sensory overload, a beautiful and reflective Japanese garden awaited at the end of the journey. e garden is the perfect place for tourists to contemplate all they’ve just seen and take a step back into reality.

I feel upkeep of e House on e Rock has gone down over the last 10 years, and I wonder about its fate in the future. e lights seem dimmer, and, perhaps as I’ve grown older, a bit of the magic and mystery have faded as well. But there is no other place like it in the Midwest.

And I say a journey to the weird, wild world Jordan created is definitely worth the visit.

When life gives you lemons ..

“We are living in a world today where lemonade is made from artificial flavors and furniture polish is made from real lemons.” — Alfred E. Newman I squeeze a lot of lemons every day.

After five years of daily lemon squeezing, I finally purchased a professional lemon squeezer, the kind they use at fairs. It’s an incredible technological advance in my life. I love it!

Still, my lemon squeezer is a singlefunction tool. It squeezes lemons for salads I make every day in my vegetarian café. It needed a larger purpose in life.

One day I put a little unfiltered sugar in a cup, squeezed a half lemon over it, tossed in the rind, swished it around, filled the cup with ice, added water, clapped a lid over the cup and shook it. I handed the result to my

employee. She drank, looked stunned and said, “Amazing.” She shared her drink with friends, who performed similarly. is employee is 40 years younger than I, as are her friends.

Noting her ecstasy Leslie over the drink, I wonCook dered if it was possible she had never had real lemonade before. Vegetating with Leslie Sure enough, prior to this moment lemonade for her was something made with water and canned powder. She had no idea you could just make lemonade from well, real lemons.

Have you ever compared the ingredient list on a lemon with the ingredient

list on one of those cans of lemonade mix? Here is a typical powdered lemonade mix ingredient list: sugar, fructose, citric acid, less than 2 percent of natural flavor, ascorbic acid, maltodextrin, sodium acid pyrophosphate, sodium citrate, magnesium oxide, calcium fumarate, artificial color, yellow 5 lake, tocopherol.

Compare that list to: lemon. A lemon, with its nutrients, micronutrients and phytonutrients, with its fiber and its ability to lower the glycemic index of accompanying foods. Most of all a lemon with all of its taste. A plain lemon, packaged in its own beautiful (integrated) yellow self.

It turns out real lemonade is not only more nutritious and about as easy to make as lemonade from a powdered mix — but tastier. According to the 20plus set, it is, “Amazing!”

Forty years ago, I began a campaign to bring back real food. I raised my kids on it. Today I feed it to my customers.

Everybody loves it! Why did we ever

give it up? What did real food ever do to us but keep us healthy and happy?

“My long-term goal for this season is I know we have a group of kids who can go to state,” Walker said and noted she feels a relay team, freestyle or medley, and a couple of individuals could qualify.

Walker said she is going to put the players in a position to succeed, but ultimately they will be responsible for their own success.

“I’m here to give them what I know is going to help them to get to that next level, but really the work needs to come from them,” Walker said. “ ey have to have the determination. ey have to have that spirit and that drive. ey have to be able to work hard and do the workouts I have given them. …

“I remind them they have a lot of talent that they haven’t found yet, and I am going to help them find it.”

Over time, Walker said she believes her relationship with the Dolphins could help build a bond between the two programs – something that has been her goal for sometime.

“We can really make two strong programs,” Walker said. “It’s up to the coaches. ey need to build that relationship and that trust. We need to know as coaches that we are working together for them.” e rest of the roster includes seniors Alli DeWane, Lindsey Fisher, Mikala Kurzbuch and Claudia Orman; juniors Brooke Brasile and Elena Libri; sophomores Tess Devinger, Maddie Emmons, Katie Ferguson, Megan Frasik, Lizzy Kruse and Abbie Roberts; and freshman Erin Fisher.

Ê*, 6 7ÊUÊWHS CROSS-COUNTRY

Blue Streaks XC is ready to run Summer training has paid off, according to coach

By JAY SCHULZ The Independent e Woodstock High School cross— country team is ready for the season to begin. e team has sent several runners to the IHSA state meet over the past few years, and second—year head coach Matt McCulley said the team’s summer program, with runners averaging 40 to 50 miles a week, could lead to success this fall. “ e summer went well for everybody,” McCulley said.

McCulley said he will be experimenting with different lineups over the first couple of meets, and the freshman and sophomore boys and freshman girls will compete at a lower level at the start of the season.

“We want to give them the experience of running in front of the pack,” McCulley said. e Peoria High Invitational, Saturday, Sept. 14, will be the first time the team runs together in competition. “After Peoria, it will hash out who will be our top seven moving forward,” he said.

Boys team e WHS boys team finished sixth in the IHSA Class 2A Kaneland regional meet with 133 points last fall.

McCulley said the boys team returned from the summer break on a mission and credited senior captain Zach Bellavia.

Cheerleading “I’m looking to change the program around,” Firkus said. “ ey can be good.

[Woodstock] kind of needs to turn into a cheer city, tumble town. I want to get tumbling in. I want to get stunting in.”

Firkus plans to have her girls help out with the Woodstock under Junior Tackle and Cheer program.

“We need to build up our feeder program so we can be better in high school,” Firkus. “To compete, you have to be sharp in stunt and tumbling and have good technique.”

“I was impressed with the week when we came back. e boys really are running with passion and fire,” McCulley said. “I think Zach took them aside and told them … ‘we really want to do well,’ and they really took it to heart.”

Bellavia, who was quick to credit his team members for their effort, said he tried to convey to the team that effort must be nonstop.

“It’s not easy,” Bellavia said. “It’s got to be everyday. You can’t pick and chose when you want to work hard.”

McCulley said the team has more depth than the last time they made it to state and noted the team has four really strong runners – freshmen Luke Beattie and Spencer Hanson and seniors Liam DeWane and Bellavia.

“It’s going to be a dogfight for the last three spots, which is great,” he said.

Bellavia said he and his teammates believe they can succeed, but he knows he will need to rely on younger team members for success.

“We want to do well, and we expect to do well,” Bellavia said. “We think we are a top—10 team in sectionals and can be a top-five team. We feel we have that type of talent.

“I need to help the younger runners to be the best they can be. We are going to have to rely on them to have a good season.” e rest of the boys roster includes seniors Andy Layoff and Joey Primus; junior Michael Zaino; sophomores Donovan Chambers, Jon Cunningham, Travis Montalbano, Dan Shook, Spencer Stumpff, Wyatt Walkington and Dustin Wolf; and freshmen Jarod Baker,

Andrew Brewer and Justin Kucharski.

Girls team Last fall, the WHS girls team finish fourth in the IHSA Class 2A Kaneland regional meet with 101 points and finished seventh in the IHSA Class 2A Belvidere sectional meet with 205 points. “ e girls have been tight and running well all summer,” McCulley said.

“It’s almost like business as usual which is a good thing.”

McCulley noted the girls team has a returning state competitor in senior captain Maura Beattie. He also praised sophomores Grace Beattie and Amy Zhang, freshman Kate Jacobs and senior Sarah Semmen and said they have looked good in practice.

“It’s a small team, but I think their biggest strength is they are a really tight team. And because of that, they are taking a lot of risks at practice, pushing themselves,” McCulley said.

McCulley said he is looking for the girls team to make it to the state meet.

“We don’t want it to be last year again,” he said. “[Going to state] has been our goal since the beginning of summer and will be our goal all the way through.”

Maura Beattie, who ran about 475 miles this summer, said she felt the summer program went really well.

“We had a lot of consistency on the team, and we all pushed each other to work hard every day,” Beattie said. e rest of the girls roster includes senior Lacey Heaver, junior Peyton Spanbauer, sophomores Ryn Stewart and freshman Maddy Neubauer.

Continued from Page 24 e under has 16 team members – all freshmen and sophomores.

“We’re very young,” Firkus said.

“In the few practices we have had, I have seen their potential, and we just need Kelly to keep working Firkus on technique. ey work hard and I’ve seen improvement

already. I think, over the months and years we are going to have together, this team can be amazing. We just need to work together.”

“We are young, we are inexperienced,” Kearfott said. “But I always try to look at the positive side of things, and I try to get our coaches to do the same. Hopefully we can keep these kids around for two to three more years, and we can build from the ground up, and they are the start of a very successful program.”

Ê*, 6 7ÊUÊWNHS CROSS-COUNTRY

New coach, new direction for Thunder cross country

By JAY SCHULZ The Independent A big change for the Woodstock North High School cross— country team came at the end of May when head coach Bruce Farris announced he would take a leave of absence. Woodstock High School graduate Dan Kremske, who was hired to fill Farris’ shoes, said the experience has been exciting.

“It’s been exciting having everyone come together as a group,” Kremske said. “Having people come together and be excited about the start of the year and excited about doing workouts and running together is great for me as a coach to be a part of that. I’ve been learning every day, and I’ve really enjoyed the opportunity to be out there every day and try to instill that sense of team, to build that morale.”

Kremske said about 80 to 90 percent of the team participated

in the team’s summer program.

“I got to know where they’re at and to know them as athletes and individuals,” he said. “I feel I have a very good grasp as to where we are as a team and what we are looking to do.”

Girls team e WNHS girls finished ninth in the IHSA Class 2A Antioch regional meet with 225 points. Similar to last year, the team needs more runners.

Even though the under, with only four runners, cannot field a full team, Kremske said he has hopes for sophomore Isabella Mazzanti.

“I think Isabella has a good shot at qualifying for state,” Kremske said.

Mazzanti competed in the IHSA Class 2A sectional last year but fell short of qualifying for the state meet.

“My first year of cross—country went better than expected,” said Mazzanti. “ e end of the

season was a bit of a disappointment with me not making it to state, but that’s what my goal is for this year and that’s what I am going to be striving for.”

Mazzanti said she knows what she needs to do this season to have success.

“I didn’t know my full ability until the last three races so I’m going to go into [the season] with a positive attitude and go out stronger than I did at the beginning of season last year and hopefully it will go well,” Mazzanti said. e rest of the girls roster includes junior Brianna Baltes and freshmen Peyton Wood and Landis Delgado.

Boys team e WNHS boys team finished sixth in the IHSA Class 2A Antioch regional meet with 160 points last fall. e team has 11 members, and Kremske said his goal for the boys team is to improve its conference stand-

ing from last year and to make an impact at the sectional meet.

He also identified two team members he feels have a good chance to qualify for the state meet.

“Sergio [Rodriguez] has been very consistent. He’s been coming to all the summer practices,” Kremske said. “Jesse [Long] has had some injury problems, but he has looked fantastic so far in the practices.”

Rodriguez said the summer program went extremely well

He taught us how to run harder than before, how to persevere.” e rest of the boys roster include seniors Tristan Smith and Zach Delgado; juniors Oliver Nielsen and Sam Reuter; and freshmen Matthew Haynes, Danny Blalock, Brendan Smith, Bowen Moser and Derek Hartmann.

Lyons said his role as a leader is to keep everyone encouraged and push them to achieve the team goal to go to the state meet.

“I need to help [the team] out anyway I can,” Lyons said. “We want to get to state. We’re setting our time goals to hopefully hit the mark at sectionals.

Continued from Page 24 from last year’s top seven, and Lakemacher said he believes the team is primed for success if everyone can stay healthy. e returning five are senior captains Brie Baumert and Jessica Biggins and juniors Emma Baumert, Olivia Dineen and Marisa Monbroad. Lakemacher also is looking to freshmen Kennedy Giles and Abby Jones to make an impact Biggins, who finished one place from qualifying for the state meet last year, said the team put in the extra effort, and she is confident the team will reach its goal.

“We worked a lot harder than last year,” Biggins said. “Everyone put in an extra 100 miles [this summer], and we seem really prepared.

“We just need to keep on working hard. I think we’ll do really well.” e rest of the girls roster includes seniors Candace Scurto, Rebecca Plomero, Jordan Lamarre and Caitlin Prisching; junior erese Hughes; sophomore Monica Juarez; and freshmen Morgan Litterer, Karla Juarez, Caitlin O’Callihan, Mary Wegesceide and Nicole Lang.

Both teams open the season with new starting quarterbacks – Billy Bahl, who replaced Chris Streveler at Marian Central, and Jimmy Krenger, who replaced Brian Loftin at WNHS. Can either quarterback lead their respective team to a victory?

Swim team starts season with new coach

By JAY SCHULZ The Independent e Woodstock co—op girls swim team had to replace its head coach just before the season when previous coach Molly Gomberg left this summer for a full—time job in North Carolina. Luckily for the team, a head coach was found right inside Woodstock School District 200 with Verda Dierzen Learning Center parent educator Renee Walker.

“It’s unfortunate to lose Molly,” said Woodstock North High School athletic director Nic Kearfott said. “I thought she was doing a good job. …

We got very lucky [hiring Renee]. We were down to a week before the season starting when [Gomberg left].

We were very fortunate. She will be a great asset for the team.”

Walker, who is in her ninth year in the district, swam in high school in Clinton, Iowa, and swam for a USA team in college. She has been a

coach for the Woodstock Dolphins for the last six years.

“A majority of the swimmers I have seen growing up,” Walker said.

“I had them on the Dolphins, and I have so much passion for the sport.

When I saw the opportunity open up, I kind of went back and forth because I really enjoy the age group with the Dolphins, but I thought this would be a fun challenge.”

Team captains are seniors Kaeley Simek (Woodstock High School) and Christina Frasik (WNHS), and Walker said she wants them to help build a cohesive team between the two schools. “ e captains keep the team together and keep the communication between both schools open,” Walker said. “We are not WHS swimming or WNHS swimming. We are Woodstock swimming.”

Frasick said the transition to a new coach should be easy.

“Renee is great and a lot of us

swam with her through the Dolphins and so I think it’s an easy adjustment for us,” said Frasik who is looking forward to her final season.

“I want to have fun and just get to know the girls better. I really want to build a united team between the two schools.”

Simek said the team’s previous interaction with Walker brings the team closer together.

“I like her,” Simek said. “She knows a lot about winning. She helps everyone on the team.”

Walker said she was impressed with the talent she has seen with the team and believes they have a shot to send several swimmers to the IHSA state meet.

“I have a lot of optimism,” Walker said. “ e girls really have been swimming very well. … I know there is a lot of good talent out there. I’m excited to see how we are going to Please see Swimming, Page 22

Woodstock North High School Athletic Director Nic Kearfott has hired his fourth cheerleading coach in five years and is hoping this one will be a keeper. Kelly Firkus, who has been involved in cheerleading since fourth grade, will take over a program in need of structure and consistency.

“Kelly has multiple years of experience,” Kearfott said. “She’s very smart. She’s very knowledgeable about cheerleading. We brought her in to bring some experience, some structure and hopefully some consistency. Hopefully we can keep her around and she is able to build our program and get it in the right direction.”

Firkus, who most recently taught math and coached at West Leyden High School, Northlake, is the wife of Principal Brian McAdow. She took a leave of absence this year to take care of their daughter McKenna.

“I’m excited to start with them,” Firkus said. “It’s just not the principal’s wife coming in. I have experience and it’s something I love to do. It’s nice to keep my hand in the school system while I’m also enjoying time with my daughter.”

Firkus brings 13 years of coaching experience to WNHS and has had success at making the most out of her teams.

“I have had teams take fourth and seventh at [Illinois Cheerleading Coaches Association] state,” Firkus said. “I have girls that have gone on to coach their little girls into nationals. I have girls that are cheering in [Division 1] at DePaul, UIC and Loyola.”

Building a program will take a lot of effort, and Firkus said she believes changing the culture in the community is a must.
