ELEMENTARY FARMING'We have kids who don't remember a parent or a grandparent being on a farm.'

By SANDY KUCHARSKIThe Independent

About 2,500 third- and fourth-grade students were given a two-hour over-view of agriculture in McHenry Coun-ty when they attended Ag Expo, April 15 to 17, at the McHenry County Fair-grounds. Since 1988 the Expo, spon-sored by the McHenry County Farm Bureau, has helped more than 40,000 students connect the agricultural in-

dustry to the food and products they consume and use.

“For a lot of these kids, this is their only opportunity to learn about ag-riculture,” said county Farm Bureau manager Dan Volkers. “We have a more urbanized, suburban-type coun-ty, and we have kids who don’t remem-ber a parent or a grandparent being on a farm.”

In an amazingly organized manner, groups of students – some groups

as large as 30 children – circulated through 20 agricultural booths, lis-tening to a six-minute presentation at each booth. �e booths included: swine, Christmas trees, dairy, soil and water conservation, beef cattle, chick-ens, vegetables, organic farming, corn, soybeans, specialty crops, honey bees, horses, sheep, fiber arts, farm equip-ment, food safety and 4-H.

“�e live animals are all popular,” said Sue Henning of the Farm Bu-reau staff. “[�e students] are pretty amazed by all the uses of the prod-ucts.” �e presenters talked about how some of the animals, such as the

Budget increases by about 5 percent over last year, doesn’t include cost-of-living property tax hike

By KATELYN STANEKThe Independent

�e Woodstock City Council approved a $29.5 million budget for fiscal year 2014-15 that includes a major increase in capital outlay aimed at street repairs and other construction projects.

C o u n c i l members voted u n a n i m o u s l y to approve the plan, which is balanced, at its April 15 meeting.

�e docu-ment calls for a 26.6 percent rise in capital outlay expenses to $3.9 million, the largest increase in any single category. City officials said a favorable market was partly behind the push to spend on infrastructure, including resurfacing city streets.

“�ere was a conscious effort to really look at that and really work on the city’s infrastructure,” said Paul Christensen, the city’s finance director.

�e city of Woodstock has re-ceived just one proposal from a private buyer to purchase the Old Courthouse and Sheriff’s

House on the Square, but offi-cials are hopeful more will ex-press interest before the May 1 deadline.

“Hopefully, when the whole process is said and done, we’ll have a final determination of

the future of the Courthouse and the Sheriff’s House,” said Cort Carlson, Woodstock’s di-rector of community and eco-nomic development.

�e City Council created the Old Courthouse Request for

Proposal Advisory Committee at its April 15 meeting, intended to review submitted proposals and provide the council with recommendations about pro-spective plans to purchase and renovate the historic building.

�e courthouse is currently un-dergoing more than $2 million in repairs financed by the city, with a new buyer expected to complete millions more in ren-ovations to bring the building up to standards. City officials hope to find a buyer who will maintain the historic character of the building.

MCC hosts large animal rescue trainingBy LISA KUCHARSKI

The Independent

�e McHenry County College Fire

Science Department has teamed up

with the Illinois Fire Service Institute

to educate first responders, large ani-

mal owners and students about large

animal rescue awareness and training

in case of emergencies.

�e free class is from 8 a.m. to noon

Saturday, April 26, in the Luecht Con-

ference Center at MCC. Attendees will

learn how to safely and effectively

handle large animals in emergency

situations, and owners will learn how

to evaluate their properties for safety

and preparedness.

“We have a very large horse popula-

tion here in the county as well as cows

and other large animals,” said Henry

Gruba, MCC’s fire science instructor

and department chair. “With large ani-

mals, people do consider them as pets,

but for some, it’s their livelihood and

is a valuable investment, and rightly

so. So we need to take care of that. I

think with the community college, es-

pecially with the fire science program,

we need to be aware of all that and re-

act to the needs and wants of the com-

munity.”

With more than 3,800 horses and

ponies inventoried, McHenry County

was ranked first out of the 102 coun-

ties in the state for horse population,

according to the 2007 Census of Agri-

culture. While there are large numbers

of hogs, pigs, cattle and cows in the

county, Gruba said the large animal

rescue awareness event has primar-

ily attracted horse owners. He said

about 60 people have signed up for

the event.

�e class will be presented by Deke

Carls, DVM, of the Illinois Fire Service

Institute, a part of the University of

Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Carls is

a large animal veterinarian and has

worked as a first responder. During

the class, attendees will be introduced

to several types of large animals, vari-

ous situations the animals can get

into, transportations problems, how

to handle nervous animals and the

rescue techniques employed by first

responders.

“I definitely wanted to open it up to

the community so people are aware

these resources are out there and their

first responders are being trained to

deal with these types of situations,”

Gruba said.

�e class is not yet a hands-on

event, but Gruba said he hopes to in-

tegrate live experiences in the fire sci-

ence program as it grows. Currently,

about 100 students are enrolled in the

fire science program at MCC.

�e class is free and open to the pub-

lic, but preregistration is preferred.

ter. For more information, call Gruba

or email him at [email protected].

“Prices are still on the fairly cheap end, and there’s a need to do these projects.”

In total, budget expenditures will increase by about 5.1 percent over the previous year. Revenues are expected to rise, too, by about 5.8 percent, but the budget does not include the inflationary tax increase allowed under the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law. City Manager R o s c o e Stelford said an improving e c o n o m y accounts for much of the rise in revenue, which includes a jump in the c o l l e c t i o n of sales and income taxes.

“ W e ’ r e nowhere near as tight as we were [in previous years],” Stelford said.

Revenues are budged to come in at $28.6 million. Expenses outpace revenues in 2014-15, but the budget utilizes money within the city’s existing fund balance to make up the difference.

Also in the 972-page budget are projects ranging from repairs to the city-owned Old Courthouse on the Square to a revolving loan program for small businesses. It also suggests a partnership between the city and the Woodstock Fire/Rescue District that would allow fire personnel to assist with building code enforcement, a proposal that gained steam after Woodstock approved a property maintenance code last fall.

swine, are raised for meat, which can

elicit groans from the kids. But they

also told about all the uses of the by-

products, like insulin and heart valves

for use on humans, that come from a

pig.

�e Farm Bureau has tailored the

program to the third- and fourth-

grade level, putting the program on

every other year and inviting classes

of children from both grade levels

throughout the county. “�e attention

span is there, and I think this is a good

age,” said Pat Beard, who brought baby

pigs and presented the swine talk. “We

don’t expect them to remember every-

thing, just little bits and pieces.”

Duane Dahlman, Marengo, has been

the tractor-safety presenter for about

10 years, giving an energetic talk about

observing vehicle signs around farm

country and the dangers of equipment

with moving parts.

“It’s great!” he said. “About four

years ago, after I finished here, I was

in Farm and Fleet in the lawn care

department and a dad was down un-

derneath a tractor [looking at it], and

the kid looked down and poked the

dad and said, ‘�at’s not safe.’ He says,

‘What do you mean?’ Kid says, ‘�ere

are moving parts in there. �ey can

get your fingers.’ �e father said, ‘How

do you know that?’ �e kid pointed

at me and said, ‘He told me at the Ag

thing.’ Cool! I got a kid that listened.

�at’s so worth it!”

�e impact of the presentations on

the students was evident. Westwood

teacher Maria Ocampo enjoyed bring-

ing her class of students to Ag Expo,

and she said, “We don’t have as many

field trips anymore, and it’s good to

have kids have connections with real

life and people in the community.”

“It takes a lot of volunteers to put

this on,” said Volkers. He estimated

that he lines up approximately 250

people throughout the week, ranging

from group leaders to presenters to

people to park the buses. “�e biggest

thing I’m proud of is the number of

people who come out and donate their

time.”

keted to buyers in mid-January. Carl-son said despite receiving only one formal proposal, he and others are optimistic the city will receive more by the end of the month.

“I think we set the table and took it as far as we could, and it’s up to every-one else to come sit at that table,” said Donovan Day, Carlson’s assistant who has worked closely on the courthouse project.

Advisory committee chair Council-woman Maureen Larson said she is anxious to see what kinds of propos-als come in.

“From a big picture perspective, what we’re looking for is something that returns that building to its glory and it can be a really contributing part of the Square and the community,” she said. “�e community members have invested in that building with the TIF dollars, and they deserve to have us look at all the possibilities.”

In addition to Larson, the committee includes Councilman RB �ompson, Economic Development Commis-sioner Arlene Lynes, Historic Preser-vation Commissioner Allen Stebbins and Plan Commissioner Jack Porter.

“We’re very lucky to have staff members who have become absolute experts on the building,” Larson said. “�ey truly know that building inside and out with all its challenges and all its possibilities.”

Carlson said if the proposals do not match the city’s vision, the City Coun-cil can choose not to select a buyer.

Marching to the beat of service and charity

For Lou Ness, the rule isn’t hard to understand: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”

�e Woodstock woman is currently on an 800-mile walk that will lead her to Washington, D.C., where she will present the stories of some of the nation’s most vulnerable: the poor and hungry.

Ness, an ordained Episcopalian deacon who serves as executive director of Shelter Care Ministries in Rockford, said she’s fed up with the empty rhetoric surrounding the care of the impoverished. So she decided to do something.

Her Hear Our Cry march Ness’s journey will call attention to the very people so many would like to ignore. And for that, Woodstock should be proud.

But more than praising Ness, residents and officials should heed her warning that, too often, the simple principle that neighbors should look after the poverty-stricken in their midst goes ignored.

For Ness, rectifying the situation means exploring our biases and preconceptions about poverty and looking for ways to ease the burden of the homeless and hungry. For others, it might begin with the simple acknowledgement that homelessness, hunger and poverty do exist in Woodstock and McHenry County and need to be addressed.

Ness’s incredible journey will no doubt achieve its stated goal of bringing attention to the plight of the poor, at least for now. But it’s our job to ensure her march, and the effort of thousands like her, resonate long after she finally reaches the nation’s capital. “If I don’t do another thing, at least some people are talking about it,” Ness told The Independent.

We agree. Let’s keep the conversation going.

Pants on fireState representative candidate

Steve Reick has wasted no time in his brief political career in winning the “Pants on Fire Award.” Reick has the dubious distinction of misrepresenting his opponent’s position on an issue and then doubling down on the misinformation.

First, in February, Reick wrote on his website that his opponent, State Rep. Jack Franks, is in favor of amending Illinois’ constitution to allow for a progressive income tax. Numerous public statements by Rep. Franks and his being a chief co-sponsor of legislation to stop that very tax throw a wrench in the wheels of Mr. Reick’s assertion.

�en, Mr. Reick issued a

statement which was published on a local blog restating that same falsehood.

It is clear to me from this that Steve Reick will say anything for a vote, no matter how untrue. For this, he wins the “Pants on Fire Award.” Enjoy the award, Steve. It’s the only thing you will ever win.

Woodstock celebrates Arbor Day

Friday, April 25, is Arbor Day. The city of Woodstock encour-ages all citizens to try to plant a tree and to support the efforts to protect the area’s trees and woodlands to promote the well-being of Woodstock’s current and future generations.

In 1872, J. Sterling Morton proposed to the Nebraska Board of Agriculture that a special day be set aside each year for the planting of trees. As a result of Morton’s efforts, Arbor Day was first observed with the planting of more than a million trees in

Nebraska. In recognition of the benefits that trees provide, Ar-bor Day is now celebrated and observed throughout the country.

Trees can reduce the erosion of top soil by wind and water, lower heating and cooling costs, moderate the temperature, clean the air, produce oxygen and provide habitat for wildlife. They also are a renewable resource giving us paper, wood for our homes and buildings, fuel for fires and countless other wood products. Trees also can increase property values, en-hance the economic vitality of business areas and beautify a community.

�e Woodstock Independent will celebrate its golden birthday Sunday, April 27. People celebrate golden birthdays. By definition a golden birthday is when a person turns the age of their birthdate. I can’t say I know of many businesses that make a big deal about the age of the business corresponding with the date on which the business was established. But I like celebrations, so let’s celebrate �e Independent’s golden birthday.

�e first Independent edition was published April 27, 1987. �at’s 27 years ago. I remember the day well – in part because the three of us putting it together had been up all night. Only one of us had worked for a newspaper, and she was a reporter and hadn’t worked on the production side. �ankfully, the printer was a kind businessman who wanted us to succeed. Although we missed our scheduled print time by more than an hour, �e Independent rolled off the presses in time to be labeled and mailed free to every residence within the boundaries of Woodstock School District 200.

Our marketing plan was to mail the paper to everyone for three weeks, letting them know the fourth week’s paper would be sent only to subscribers. As I look back, I am amazed by and grateful to the hundreds of people who subscribed in the first three weeks. I’m equally grateful to the Woodstock and Wonder Lake businesses and some special friends who gave �e Independent a healthy advertising base.

As I write, I’m wondering how many of you have subscribed all 27 years. If you have subscribed since 1987, please call the office at 815-338-8040 and let us know or send me an email at [email protected].

Saturday, I met a person who may be �e Independent’s oldest subscriber. Mrs. Violett is 96. “I look forward to the

paper coming every Wednesday,” she said. “I’ve subscribed for a very long time.” Meeting subscribers makes my day.

When �e Independent celebrated it’s 25th birthday, my friend and mentor Don Peasley called. “Has �e Independent made a difference?” he asked, as if he were interviewing me.

“�at’s a question our readers and the people of the community could best answer, “ I replied.

Now it’s been 27 years. I invite you to reply to Don’s question in a letter to the editor, in an email, a telephone call or in person.

Meanwhile, happy golden birthday.

Remembering Don PeasleyWoodstock Little League and the

McHenry County Historical Society are honoring Don in the coming weeks. Little League is naming Merryman Field 7 for him. �e dedication will be at 1 p.m. Saturday, April 26, at the field on Raffel Road behind the fire station.

�e historical society will showcase its new Don Peasley display when

it opens for the season at 1 p.m. Sunday, May 4. �e museum staff has recreated Don’s office and is displaying memorabilia and his cameras. Admission will be free.

Spring has sprungEaster couldn’t have been more

beautiful. Temperatures reached the low 70s and the sun shone. �e daffodils are in full bloom around town, which means it’s time to take a drive through Bull Valley and enjoy, but not pick, the thousands of daffodils that have been planted along the roadsides since 1985. Nancy Jung and Lyn Pensinger are credited with the vision and years of implementation. Some years, Lyn and Nancy ordered as many as 10,000 bulbs, which were sold to Bull Valley residents for planting. For the last 20 years or so, the daffodils have been a project of the Bull Valley Garden Club. �anks to Lyn, Nancy, Bull Valley Garden Club and all the planters.

This, that and a few more thoughts» COLUMN

Missing out“Don’t it always seem to go that you

don’t know what you’ve got ’til it’s gone.” – Joni Mitchell, “Big Yellow Taxi”

�is Joni Mitchell lyric has always struck home with me. Not because “Big Yellow Taxi” is a musical masterpiece, but because of the common-sense idea that we find it so easy to take things – and people – for granted.

Missed opportunitiesI’ve lived in Woodstock for more

than 13 years now, and while I continue to love our town, I also realize that nothing lasts forever. For great broasted chicken, my wife and I always knew Vaughan’s would come through … until the restaurant went out of business. �e Dick Tracy Museum was an attraction we always intended to see … until it closed its doors. Mickey Rooney and Barack Obama are among the notables who’ve shared their knowledge and life stories at the Woodstock Opera House; I didn’t see either one speak. On a local level, Don Peasley was an amazing writer, photographer and Woodstock legend

… but I never got to know him as well as I would have liked.

We all make choices on the businesses we visit and the people we spend time with. But when we miss out on life experiences and people that can nourish us in one way or another, we must understand that if we delay, we may not get a second chance.

The wisdom of Edison, Diaz and Goodrich

“We often miss opportunity because it’s dressed in overalls and looks like work.” – �omas Edison

“Your regrets aren’t what you did, but what you didn’t do. So I take every opportunity.” – Cameron Diaz

“Live your day and live it well. It’s yours whether you want it or not.” – Richelle E. Goodrich, “Smile Anyway: Quotes, Verse, & Grumblings for Every Day of the Year.”

Whether you view an opportunity as work or you want to be more like Ms. Diaz or Ms. Goodrich, the first step in being more open to the knock of opportunity is being aware the opportunities exist. You’re reading

The Woodstock Independent; that’s a good start. You’re staying informed about events that have happened and people who are making a difference in our community – people you may want to reach out to with an “Attaboy” or “Attagirl” or something more tangible, such as a donation to a not-for-profit you want to support. You’re also finding out about upcoming events you might want to attend or participate in, whether it’s a City Council meeting, a 5K walk/run, a film showing at the library, the opening of Woodstock Water Works for the summer or the Orson Welles Todd �eatre Festival in mid-May (with experts talking about Orson’s early life and career and a radio theatre group presenting some of his Mercury �eatre radio scripts, culminating with “War of the Worlds”).

A few more suggestions:If your child has always wanted to

act on the Opera House stage, explore that opportunity – look into auditions for Woodstock Children’s Summer �eatre (performing “�e Wizard of Oz” this summer) or for “Oliver!,” the Woodstock Musical �eatre Company’s planned musical for April 2015.

If you want to conquer the fear of public speaking – a fear which may prevent you from answering the knock

of some opportunities – find out more about Toastmasters, an international organization that has multiple groups meeting in McHenry County, including two in Crystal Lake alone.

If you want Woodstock to be a thriving community, with a variety of businesses to serve you, spend a few of your dollars at that new restaurant or that clothing shop or antique store you’ve never visited.

If you have a friend you’ve been waiting to hear from for a long time because it’s their turn to contact you … give them a call while, as my uncle would say, “they’re still on this side of the grass.”

A final thoughtTake the opportunity to be an active

participant in your own life. Even if it doesn’t turn out like you expect, that’s fine. It could still make for a fascinating deposit in your memory bank.

EducationBy ELIZABETH HARMON

The Independent

Preparing students for future

success not only means foster-

ing academic achievement, it

also means cultivating leader-

ship skills.

At the April 8 District 200

Board of Education meeting,

representatives from the dis-

trict’s elementary, middle and

high schools gave a presenta-

tion on student leadership op-

portunities at each level.

“It’s nice to see that opportuni-

ties start at the elementary level

and work their way up,” said

Board President Paul Meyer. “It

comes to fruition in high school

but doesn’t stop there, because

leadership goes on and on.”

Beginning in prekindergar-

ten, students participate in

character education activities

which teach them to be respect-

ful, resourceful, organized,

punctual and more. By third

grade, schools offer leadership

and service activities such as

student councils and food and

recycling drives. Safety patrols

and clubs such as Dean Street

Elementary School’s Peace

Makers Club help children de-

velop confidence to take on

new responsibilities and resist

bullies.

Character education contin-

ues in middle school, where

building-wide behavior is re-

warded with activities such as

afterschool dances. �ere’s also

an effort to involve students

in building leadership roles.

Groups such as student council,

Best Buddies, the AP (Assistant

Principal) Advisory Council and

the Leadership Group, provide

students opportunities to im-

prove by planning activities,

reaching out to other students

and helping guide school policy.

�e impact has been sig-

nificant, said Creekside Middle

School assistant principal Mi-

chelle Martin. �e AP Adviso-

ry Council’s annual Coin War

raised $5,000 for Christmas

Clearing House. Following the

establishment of the North-

wood Middle School Leader-

ship Group, reported bullying

incidents dropped by more than

half in two years.

“It had a dramatic impact as

students learned they could be

upstanders, not bystanders,”

Martin said.

�ere also are opportunities

to serve as club officers, team

captains and to take part in in-

formal leadership roles in the

classroom, Martin said.

In high school, there are lead-

ership opportunities through

student councils, class councils,

clubs and sports teams and also

in groups specifically devoted

to leadership.

STAR Mentoring group con-

nects freshmen with upper-

classmen who mentor the

younger students as they adapt

to high school. �e National

Honor Society, which recogniz-

es students that excel academi-

cally, provides its members with

the opportunity to be peer tu-

tors. At Woodstock North High

School, a library-based Peer

Tutoring program provides stu-

dents with tutor training they

can use in college.

�e goal of Woodstock North

High School’s new Future Latino

Leaders is to encourage more

Latino students to attend col-

lege. According to club sponsor

Miguel Rodriguez, all 23 mem-

bers have applied and been ac-

cepted into post-high school

programs, including one who

will attend Notre Dame Uni-

versity. Activities have includ-

ed helping students complete

interest inventories, conduct

scholarship searches, develop a

portfolio to help with college ap-

plications, and learn techniques

for successful interviews.

WNHS principal Brian McAd-

ow said all of the groups em-

body what his school calls “�e

�under Way.”

“�e �under Way is to be re-

spectful, engaged and to dem-

onstrate high expectations. Be-

ing engaged equals leadership,”

he said.

HIGHLIGHT

Marian students take part in IHSA music contestBy JANET DOVIDIO

The Independent

Forty Marian Central Catholic High

School vocal and instrumental music stu-

dents took part in the annual Illinois High

School Association Solo and Ensemble

Competition in Harvard last month, win-

ning 19 first-place awards.

Marian music instructor Tom Rome

requires participation for his honors

class students and members of the mu-

sic honor society. Marian’s participants

also included students who volunteered

to compete. �e competition included

more than 1,000 participants from 20

schools. All entries were performed

before judges. Marian’s 19 first-place

awards included one for the Madrigals.

Marian also earned 12 second-place rec-

ognitions.

In addition, Matt Snell received “Best of

Day” for his guitar solo. Each competition

judge can award one “Best of Day” out of

all the performances the judge heard.

“�e students like the competition,

even though it is nerve-racking for

them and for me,” Rome said. “I have

such phenomenal students to work

with. Our seniors especially step up to

serve as role models for all of our com-

petitions.”

�e choirs continued performing sev-

eral weeks later. Earlier this month, they

went on a choir tour of Marian’s seven

feeder schools, including St. Mary School

in Woodstock. �e vocalists performed a

show titled 100 Years of Broadway.

Rome added, “For this choir tour, I

wish to thank Bethany Bucci and Jessica

Jenkner for creating the choreography,

as well as Erin McCoy for the beautiful

painted backdrops.”

» SPOTLIGHT

Woodstock and Woodstock North high schools are collaborating on Cole Porter’s classic musical “Anything Goes.” Below, stage manager Anna Gabrielson answered our questions about the production and the process of working with what has been de-scribed as the biggest set to ever hit the stage at WNHS.

ANNA GABRIELSONSchool: Woodstock North High SchoolYear: Sophomore Title: Stage manager

What led you to take part in “Anything Goes”?I took part in this production because theater

is everything to me. I have no idea what I would do without it. Nothing makes me happier than being able to spend my days after school with the people I respect and admire most.How many other productions have you worked on?

I have worked on five shows other than this one, including “The Diary of Anne Frank,” “The Odyssey,” “Meet Me in St. Louis,” “The Man Who Came to Dinner” and “Alice in Wonderland.”

What’s been the biggest challenge you’ve en-countered with this production?

The biggest challenge I’ve encountered with this production is the fact that with a compli-cated show there are more light cues than I am used to. It has also been enormously helpful having an assistant stage manager backstage.The set for “Anything Goes” is a centerpiece in this production. How did you and your crew contribute to this and what did you learn along the way?

Over the weeks that the set was being built, we helped paint and cut some things out while

the larger set pieces were being built. Helping with the set taught us a lot about construction and what kind of materials are used on such an elaborate set. What is your favorite part of this production?

My favorite part of this production has been watching everyone’s hard work come together to make such a wonderful, funny and captivat-ing show.

“Anything Goes” continues at Woodstock North High School, 3000 Raffel Road, at 7 p.m. Friday, April 25, and 2 and 7 p.m. Saturday, April 26.

Anna Gabrielson, “Anything Goes”

Local talent, original musicBy SANDY KUCHARSKI

The Independent

Local music enthusiasts have an opportunity to enjoy an eve-ning of original music on the Woodstock Square each month at the Songwriter Showcase, presented by A Place to Shine Music. �e event is the brainchild of Cassandra Vohs-Demann, whose vision was to bring in six song-writers – some local, some regional – of various levels, creating an evening of original music.

�e Songwriter Showcase kicked off

in October 2013, continuing monthly at 7:30 p.m., the third Friday of every month at Mixin Mingle, 124 Cass St. Ad-mission is $7 and includes complimen-tary coffee, tea and water.

“It’s really a community thing and something I thought was missing in the area,” Vohs-Demann said. “We have some amazing performers. Part of my purpose is to introduce people to new music right here.”

Inspired by the writers rounds she at-tended and performed in while living in Nashville, Vohs-Demann designed the show as acoustic sets by six solo artists

or pairs of songwriters with three per-forming in the first half and three in the second half. Each writer talks about the inspiration behind the song they are performing or shares the story of their journey as a songwriter.

�e venue offers an intimate setting

with the audience in close proximity to the artist, which was also part of Vohs-Demann’s vision. �e audience is quiet and attentive, with a concert environ-ment. “Some gigs are in noisy rooms,” she said. “From the perspective of a musician, that’s not fun.”

�e mix of artists is chosen to cre-ate a really eclectic, diverse collection of music, ranging from folk to rock to avant-garde. “People are starting to come regularly,” said Vohs-Demann. “�ey are starting to talk about it.”

�e next Songwriter Showcase will be Friday, May 16.

In 2004, my wife and I attended

Woodstock’s Santa Parade; it was our

first time ever to walk through the

Woodstock Square. It was love at first

sight!

I knew I wanted my family to belong

to this community. I loved the feeling

I had and I loved the idea of raising my

children in this close-knit community.

I wanted to belong to Woodstock! We

moved here in January 2005.

We absolutely love this town! We

have met so many wonderful people

and would not want to leave. Other

paint contractors I know say, “how can

you handle doing business in such a

small town?” And I answer by saying I

love having a business in a small town,

everybody knows

everybody and it

keeps me honest as

a businessman.

I have a vision

for Woodstock, a

vision that honors

our past, revels in

our present and is

certain of our fu-

ture. Here are a few

of my visions:

�e greatest gem

on our Square is

the Opera House,

and it also is the most underutilized

space on the Square. I would love to

see every D-200 student attend two

performances per year in our Opera

House. Or imagine a more broad ex-

citing variety of entertainment coming

to the stage. How can WE create more

excitement about the arts using the

Opera House?

�ere are too many empty store-

fronts on the Square! �ere are hun-

dreds of new small businesses starting

each year. Imagine the Square filled

with businesses like clothing, furniture

accessories and gourmet/health food

stores. What can WE do to attract,

nurture, stimulate and promote entre-

preneurship in our community? �ese

would help entice more visitors, too.

Imagine a vibrant night life! Not just

another bar for a morning beer, but

jazz clubs, casual dining, wine bars and

even elegant dining. Where do WE go

to find more restaurateurs?

I know these are only ideas and like

my friend Michael Stanard told me

recently, “Ideas are free, results are

difficult and expensive.” �is is why I

propose a FREE brainstorming session

(not a complaint session) about what

we want to create for our TOWN?

Late last year, Woodstock Independent general manager John Trione shared

his vision of starting a “mastermind”

group of business leaders. I encourage

everyone reading this, if you have a

vision of what Woodstock can be, WE

need to hear about it.

If you want to see our town become

something even better, please contact

me via email, and I’ll inform you when

and where we will have a big brain-

storming session! Or just email your

ideas to me!

What’s your vision for Woodstock?

Music shop has new name, ownerJimmy’s Music offers lessons, sells instruments


A business on Davis Road offering

music lessons and instruments has

changed ownership and is now operat-

ing as Jimmy’s Music.

Owner Jim Brockway said, after

meeting with previous owners Al and

Cindy Francen, who ran Rockstar Mu-

sic Academy, he jumped on the oppor-

tunity to have his own music store. He

said his new business, Jimmy’s Music, is

committed to providing instructors and

instruments to help its students better

their skills and develop a passion for

music.

“It was just something I came across,

and something I’ve always wanted to

do,” Brockway said.

Because music can be an expensive

pursuit, Brockway said he encourages

people to try by providing free begin-

ner guitars and drum practice pads and

piano accessories to those who sign up

for lessons.

“It keeps the parents from having to

go out and invest in a $150 guitar,” he

said. “We just give it to them. It’s free. If

the kid gets serious about it, down the

road, he’ll buy a guitar.”

Brockway said the instructors from

Rockstar Music Academy stayed at

Jimmy’s Music after the transition to

provide lessons for guitar, bass, drums,

piano, violin and vocals. He said stu-

dents range from 6-year-old drummers

to 70-year-old guitar rockers.

�e first-time owner said running a

business can be a little hectic at times.

“But, if it’s something you enjoy doing

and it’s fun, then it really isn’t that hard,”

he said.

To help manage Jimmy’s Music,

Brockway brought in his nephew Kyle

Brockway, a left-handed guitarist and

music enthusiast. Kyle Brockway said

he enjoys seeing the students and aspir-

ing musicians find enjoyment in music

through their lessons.

“�ere was a 5-year-old girl learning

piano, and she was incredibly nervous

and on the verge of tears when she was

starting,” he said. “After her 15-minute

freebie lesson, she came in begging her

parents to get her a piano. It was ador-

able.”

Jimmy’s Music, 1230 Davis Road, of-

fers 30-minute lessons and sells a vari-

ety of instruments in the store. For in-

formation, call 815-308-5878.

CommunityLongtime Woodstock D.A.R.E. officer set to retire


One of the most well-known faces in

the Woodstock Police Department and

the community’s elementary and middle

schools, Patrol Officer Fred Spitzer, will

officially retire May 2.

During his 30 years on the police force,

Spitzer served as a patrolman, field train-

ing officer, detective and, most memora-

bly, Drug Abuse Resistance Education and

Violence Education Gang Awareness pro-

grams officer – educating students about

the importance of good decision-making.

From 1994 to 2005, he worked with about

5,000 students.

“My favorite thing that I’ve done, abso-

lutely hands down, was D.A.R.E.,” Spitzer

said. “I did that for 11 years and just really

enjoyed working with the students. I was

doing programs from preschool all the

way through sixth grade. I got to know a

lot of the kids as they worked their way

through the grades and that was probably

my favorite part.”

�e D.A.R.E. program is a 17-week

course designed to provide fifth-graders

with the information

and skills they need

to say no to drugs,

alcohol and tobacco.

�e program also

aims to give students

positive contact

with a police officer.

Spitzer filled the role

as D.A.R.E. officer

August 1994 after

the program’s previ-

ous educator Offi-

cer Dick Johns – who brought D.A.R.E.

to Woodstock in 1990 – was promoted.

After realizing the positive influence

awareness education had on young

minds, Spitzer helped to bring V.E.G.A.

to Woodstock sixth-graders as a follow-

up program.

“�e curriculum itself is important be-

cause it gives the students the ability to be

able to resist some of the negative pres-

sures that can be put on them by society,

in general, or especially, by their peers,”

he said. “A lot of people want to attack

D.A.R.E., saying ‘it doesn’t help because

kids still use drugs.’ What I tell my gradu-

ation groups all the time is, ‘you now have

the tools you need, but it’s up to you. You

have to take those tools and use them to

make good decisions.’ I think that factor

doesn’t get played into like it should for

the critics of D.A.R.E.”

�ough there may be some D.A.R.E. crit-

ics, Woodstock School District 200 Super-

intendent Ellyn Wrezski said she has no-

ticed the benefits the program and Officer

Spitzer have had on the students.

“�ere’s something very special about

Fred, and I absolutely believe it’s his deep

passion and caring for the students and

the children in the Woodstock commu-

nity,” she said. “... What I’ve always noticed

is the relationships that he built with kids.

… I have been around him where he’s been

working an event on the Square and kids

come up to him and remember him and

talk to him. He has a way about letting

them know he really, really cares about

them, and he does.”

In 2005, his last year as a D.A.R.E and

V.E.G.A educator, Spitzer was honored

with the Illinois D.A.R.E. Officers Associa-

tion Officer of the Year award. �e award

is given to “an Illinois D.A.R.E. Officer

who has displayed exemplary skills in the

classroom, shown professional and per-

sonal character beyond reproach and is a

leader in the communities in which they

serve.”

“He’s always been a friendly face of the

police department to the Woodstock com-munity,” said Woodstock Police Chief

Robert Lowen. “He’s got a great work ethic.

Even up to his final days here, he’s still en-

gaged and goes above and beyond.”

�ough Spitzer said he will miss the

camaraderie with his fellow officers and

serving, protecting and educating the

community, he is looking forward to a

relaxing retirement. He said he and his

wife, Vickie, plan to stay in the area, but

they look forward to camping. Spitzer

also plans to trail ride with his �or-

oughbred horse, improve his golf game,

umpire local baseball games and spend

time with his four – and soon to be five

– grandchildren.

A retirement party will be held for Spitzer

from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday, June 28, at

Blackstone Golf Club, Marengo. �e event

is $35 per person. Call Officer Daniel Pau-

ley at 815-338-2131 by June 16 to attend.

Thomas Martinez, a Northwood Middle School eighth-grader, interviews former NASA astronaut Kent Rominger. INDEPENDENT PHOTO BY KEN FARVER

Middle-schooler chats with former NASA astronautBy LISA KUCHARSKI

The Independent

After visiting the Challenger Learn-

ing Center for Science & Technology

in fifth grade, �omas Martinez set his

heart on becoming an astronaut. For

his Northwood Middle School Proj-

ect, the now eighth-grader wanted to

put together a presentation about his

dream job. But how was he going to

find an actual astronaut to interview?

Martinez turned to the Challenger

Center, where executive director Chan-

tel Madson scheduled him an interview

with Kent Rominger, a former NASA

astronaut and current vice president

of ATK Aerospace Group. Rominger, a

pilot who flew on five space missions

and twice on Columbia Space Shuttle,

Skyped in at the Challenger Center

from Brigham City, Utah, to chat with

Martinez April 18.

“It was an amazing experience to ac-

tually talk to an astronaut for the first

time in my life,” Martinez said. “It’s been

great, and I like everything about it.”

With questions like “What did you do

on your space missions?” and “What

advice do you have for someone like me

who is interested in becoming an astro-

naut?” Martinez said he learned about

spacewalks, working with science and,

most importantly, the value of team-

work in the profession.

“I learned that the most important

thing about being an astronaut is

teamwork,” he said. “Together with the

astronauts in space and the people at

ground control, those people work to-

gether. If [Rominger] was just by him-

self, how could he survive out there

without the help of other astronauts?”

Martinez said he felt his goal of be-

coming an astronaut was made more

obtainable after meeting Rominger.

He said he’s looking forward to having

the chance to complete missions and

space walks and explore the universe

someday.

“It was a dream come true,” he said.

“Mostly, I would like to thank Chantel

Madson for making everything happen.”

An emotional Madson said it was a

great feeling to see Martinez light up

when meeting Rominger. She said she

is thrilled to see the Challenger Center

is inspiring students in science, tech-

nology, engineering and mathematics.

“It was such a special day …” she

said. “[It] was truly a ‘why we do what

we do’ moment.”

GAME OF THE WEEK


Nichols-Hogle had coached Green Giants for two years

By JAY SCHULZThe Independent

Jen Nichols-Hogle is coming home.

�e 2006 Woodstock High School grad-

uate has been named head coach of the

Blue Streaks girls basketball team.

“I’m very excited to return home and

coach on my home court,” Nichols-

Hogle said. “I’ve had to coach against

Woodstock the last four years, and ev-

ery time it’s been hard because Wood-

stock is my hometown, and I had a lot

of success there because of the family

and the support I have always had.”

“Jen will bring a vitality, conscien-

tiousness and spirit that will benefit our

program and blend well with our girls

basketball culture,” said WHS athletic

director Glen Wilson in an email.

Nichols-Hogle is one of the 13 play-

ers in WHS girls basketball history to

score 1,000 points. After high school,

she played basketball at the University

of Dubuque, Dubuque, Iowa, and was a

2010 magna cum laude graduate.

Nichols-Hogle, head basketball coach

for Alden-Hebron High School for the

past two years, said she knows what

she wants to see from Blue Streaks girls

basketball.

“I want it to be a program instead of

three different teams,” she said. “You’re

not going to run the same offense and

defense because you are going to have

different variations of girls. … Defense is

going to win us games and that’s how

we are going to be able to stop teams.

We are not the biggest, the strongest,

the fastest, but we are definitely going

to work as a team and be able to com-

municate what each other is doing.”

And she said she has expectations of

her players.

“I expect them to show at practice

ready to work hard every single day,

be able to communicate with me about

any situation that may arise and be able

to communicate with their teammates.

[I expect] dedication, heart and 100

percent effort.”

Living in Woodstock, Nichols-Hogle

has seen the Streaks play a lot and said

she believes she has a lot to work with.

“�ere is a lot of potential, a lot of tal-

ent, a lot of skill [on this team],” she said.

“�ere is a lot of families that are play-

ing travel- and feeder-basketball. �ey

are keeping their kids in shape, putting

them in speed and agility camps and

are very serious about playing basket-

ball, and I feel very fortunate with the

situation I’m walking into as far as the

talent and the skill goes and the sup-

port from the community.”

Nichols-Hogle replaces former head

coach Marty Hammond, who was

the assistant coach all four years she

played at WHS.

“I have a lot of respect for him and his

family,” she said. “I consider him family.

I have actually had multiple conversa-

tions with him [about the position]. He

was the first person that I called today

after I resigned from Hebron and ac-

cepted the position at Woodstock. He

has given me nothing but support and

love. I feel the situation is unfortunate

for him but it has just allowed me an

open-door opportunity and he isn’t

the kind of person to hold that against

me. … He’s a terrific guy and definitely

someone I know, in the future, if I feel

there are any conflicts or issues, I can

definitely go to for advice.”

SPORTS

gional title this season, but she also is

looking to the future with such a young

roster.

“My main goal is to build around this

core group of freshmen,” Widmayer

said. “Everyone says that’s a lot of fresh-

men [to be starting], but think about

[having] that in two to three years.”

One thing is for sure, the Lady ’Canes

are enjoying the spoils of victory.

“It feels really good,” O’Hagan said.

“It’s a definite confidence booster to be

able to go out and beat teams that we

haven’t beaten in the past. … Being able

to accomplish things we haven’t been

able to in the past is really satisfying,

and it make us feel good because we

know our hard work is paying off and

that the Marian softball program will

gain respect in the future.”

Marian will play in the IHSA Class

3A regional tournament which will

be hosted by Woodstock North High

School in late May. Other teams in

the tournament include Woodstock

High School, Richmond-Burton and

Marengo.

sideration for all schools.

“�at’s really smart to think about,”

Tafoya said. “In this day and age, it is

something to consider. We’re all in

very similar situations in that we are

looking for a solution. Travel is not as

much a consideration for us as is size

[of schools in the conference].”

Currently, Burlington Central would

be the largest school in the confer-

ence with 1,050 students and Harvard

would be the smallest with 679. WHS

had 961 and WNHS has 930.

Officials were set to present the pro-

posal to the school board Tuesday,

April 22. �at meeting came after �e Independent’s press deadline.

If approved, Tafoya and WNHS prin-

cipal Brian McAdow will submit an

intention to withdraw at the Fox Val-

ley Conference principals’ meeting

Wednesday, May 14.

Peasley, who passed away in May

2013, was a longtime journalist, pho-

tographer and historian in Woodstock

and McHenry County, known affec-

tionately as “Mr. Woodstock.” He was

a founding member and longtime sup-

porter of WLL and editor and publish-

er of the league’s keepsake magazine

“Play Ball!” for 49 years.

According to executive assistant

to the city manager Cindy Smiley, the

Woodstock City Council discussed

honoring Peasley shortly after his

death at age 90.

“�ey knew they wanted to do some-

thing to honor him,” Smiley said. “�ey

discussed ideas from the public, and

it became apparent he was devoted to

[WLL] and the discussion came around

to dedicating a field to Don.

“Not only did it seem like a fitting

tribute to him but something he would

really like.”

Representatives from the city

worked with the Peasley family to co-

ordinate the effort. Peasley’s daughter

Sarah will come in from Colorado for

the ceremony.

“It’s going to be a really emotional

day for us to see Dad’s name up in big

letters. He was just such a supporter of

sports for kids. He talked about how

good it was for kids to help them grow

and be well-rounded people. … �is is

such an honor for him. He was so de-

voted to this community for so many

years,” Sarah Peasley said.

IN BRIEF

Baseball teams work together to benefit cancer foundation

The Woodstock North and Hampshire high school baseball programs have joined forces with the Jason Motte Foun-dation for Let’s Strike Out Cancer. Motte is a St. Louis Cardinals reliever. The Ma-jor League Baseball Players Foundation is also a partner.

The schools’ varsity baseball teams will play a doubleheader, with the first game at 10 a.m., Saturday, May 19, at Hamp-shire. The players will wear LA Dodger - AJ Ellis Strike Out Cancer T-shirts.

Both teams will exclusively swing wood bats by the Hoosier Bat Compa-

ny. The bats will be a variety of cancer-awareness colors from pink to orange to draw attention to all forms of cancer. After the games, the players will auto-graph the bats and give them to cancer survivors who attend the game.

Funds also will be raised through a silent auction, which will be avail-able for bid every half inning. A de-tailed list of raffle items and donations can be found at www.facebook.com/events/1396365953971391.

The Thunder and Whip-Purs invite the public to attend the games and bid on auction items. They also are accepting donations for Let’s Strike Out Cancer. Donations to be credited to the WNHS baseball team can be sent to Ian Rago, 3000 Raffel Road, Woodstock, IL

60098.

Lady ’Canes turn it aroundA young Marian softball roster isn’t intimidated


�e Marian Central Catholic High

School girls softball team has struggled

in recent years. �e Lady ’Canes won 13

games combined the last two seasons

but an injection of youth on the roster

has led to a reversal in fortune on the

field. �rough April 20, the Lady ’Canes

are 8-6 overall and 4-1 in the Suburban

Christian Conference.

Due to a lower numbers of players

coming out this season, the 12 fresh-

men, one sophomore and five juniors

all play varsity.

“I have 12 freshmen and they are all

solid ball players,” said Marian head

coach Erin Widmayer. “I have been

very fortunate and gifted with pitching

[this season]. We haven’t had consistent

pitching [in the past], and we’ve strug-

gled.”

Widmayer said she has six to seven

pitchers she can use on the team. One

of the pitchers is

freshman Grace

Shukis, who is

4-0 on the sea-

son, including

a seven-inning

effort in the 6-1

victory over

Chicago Chris-

tian April 20.

In all, the Lady

’Canes have

seven freshmen

starting includ-

ing Michaela

Faunce, who took over at catcher for ju-

nior co-captain Hannah O’Hagan, who

had walking pneumonia at the start of

the season.

“�ey are great,” Widmayer said.

“�ey’re fantastic. I joke with other

coaches that I don’t have the drama that

a lot of the coaches have. Everybody

gets along great because I have five

great juniors who are mentoring the

young players. Most of the freshmen

have played travel ball or club ball, so

they are used to playing a better caliber,

and they just want to play.”

Widmayer said the 14 games her team

has played tops most other teams and

is a huge advantage for the Lady ’Canes.

“We have 14 games under our belt

where a lot of teams only have six or

eight,” Widmayer said, and noted the

team started playing over spring break.

“My kids have gotten used to playing

outside earlier and learned to deal with

the temperature change.”

O’Hagan, who is the starting left field-

er, and co-captain junior center fielder

Sarah Schaefer, said the young players

on the roster have really sparked the

team.

“It’s cool because they get to play as

freshmen, and they will get better as

[they get older],” O’Hagan said. “�ey

have a great future in front of them, and

I’m glad they are here, because I really

Kishwaukee River Conference could include five teams in inaugural season


Representatives from Woodstock

and Woodstock North high schools

were set to present a proposal to the

Woodstock School District 200 board

of education to leave the Fox Val-

ley Conference and become charter

members of the Kishwaukee River
