VILLAGE BOARD
Permits will be issued on a trial basis
By Katelyn StanekTHE INDEPENDENT
The Bull Valley Board of Trustees voted April 29 to allow video
gam-bling on a trial basis.
The approved ordinance allows the village to issue permits to
busi-nesses looking to host video gam-bling terminals in Bull
Valley. Per-mits will be issued over a one-year trial period.
The move was a response to a request from representatives of
Boone Creek Golf Club to have gam-bling terminals in their
restaurant, Village President Emily Berendt said.
Before approving the ordinance, Berendt sent an email to Bull
Valley residents asking their opinions on legalizing video gambling
in the vil-lage. She said a majority supported allowing a one-year
trial.
That was a change from 2012, when most residents said they
opposed gambling in the village.
As you know, these are tight times nancially for the village as
well as for local business. While the new revenue would be welcome
and we do not want to discourage or impede our local businesses, we
understand

May 4-10, 2016Route 14.
Hope A. Sanchez, 38, of the 400 block of Woodbine Lane, Fox
River Grove, was charged April 28 with dis-orderly conduct ling or
causing the ling of a false police report, a Class 3 felony,
according to Woodstock Police. Her bond was set at $10,000 and she
is scheduled to appear in court at 9 a.m. May 12.
After a week-long investigation, Woodstock Police determined
San-chez received the small puppy as a gift from a Woodstock
couple. San-chez then took the puppy to MCC in Crystal Lake, where
she teaches a human development class. Accord-ing to police, she
told her students she found the puppy sealed in a pillow-case along
the roadside, a story police now say was fabricated.
The initial report of the dog being found alongside Route 14 in
Wood-stock has been determined to be unfounded, result-ing in the
... crimi-nal charge, Chief Robert Lowen said.
MCC student Natalie Kawell, Woodstock, vol-unteered to take the
pup to Hoof Woof & Meow Ani-mal Rescue, 129 E. Higgins Road,
Gilberts. Kawell did not know the story was false.
The police investigation revealed a Woodstock couple owns the
dog which delivered 10 puppies in the familys apartment. Per the
couples consent, police visited the apartment April 27 and saw the
nine remain-ing puppies, which were similar in appearance and age
to the puppy found last week, and determined the 3-week-old puppy,
given the name Woodstock, was from the same litter.
After interviewing the couple, police detectives learned the
couple gave the pup to Dr. Sanchez, a therapist, who provides
service to one of their fam-ily members.
In the meantime, the Woodstock
couple allowed McHenry County Animal Control to take custody of
the remaining nine puppies, which were then also delivered to the
care of Hoof Woof & Meow Animal Res-cue. The mother of the
litter, which reportedly serves as a therapeutic service dog for
one of the household members, was not removed from the home.
The mother of the puppies was subsequently left at the
apartment, as no immediate danger was evident, Lowen said.
Kawell, the student who took Wood-stock to Hoof Woof &
Animal Res-cue, said she was very taken aback by the revelation her
instructor made up the tale of nding Woodstock along the road.
Kawell spoke to San-chez April 28 before the charges were publicly
announced, and the instruc-tor acknowledged what she had done was
wrong, Kawell said.
I just dont know why she said that, Kawell said.
MCC Interim Vice President Chris-tina Haggerty said April 29
college administrators are aware of develop-ments in the case and
are addressing the matter.
Upon learning of this develop-ment, we have immediately
initiated college procedures related to this per-sonnel issue,
Haggerty said in a news release. Please be assured that we
are addressing this issue in the most appropriate and timely
manner, and we are taking every measure to ensure that there will
be no impact on our students or in the classroom.
The response from the public has been tremendous since the
story, now determined as false, broke that little Woodstock was
placed into a pillow-case, sealed with duct tape and aban-doned
along Route 14.
To date, Hoof Woof & Meow Ani-mal Rescue has received 40
applica-tions from people wanting to adopt the puppy, according to
Kellie Reed, intake and foster coordinator and cofounder of the
agency. With the arrival of the rest of the litter, which includes
ve males and four females, the puppies will be available for
adop-tion at the end of May.
Their parents are beagle/Boston terrier mixes.
In addition to Woodstocks litter, the agency has 22 other
puppies that will soon be available for adoption. Six puppies are a
mix of beagle, pug and Catahoula leopard dog. Three are Australian
Shepherd mix and six are Labrador retriever mix. Another two
orphaned puppies, their breeds unknown, will arrive from Memphis,
Tenn., this weekend, Reed said.
Anyone interested in adopting a puppy should visit the agencys
web-site, www.hoofwoofmeow.org.

35-year-old Skokie man was transported to Centegra
By Stephanie PriceTHE INDEPENDENT
A man assisting at a concealed-carry class accidentally shot
himself
at a home in Woodstock, ofcials said.
Members of the Woodstock Fire/Rescue District responded to an
accidental shooting at about 1 p.m. April 24 in the 3600 block of
North Queen Anne Road, where an assis-tant instructor shot his own
hand.
The 35-year-old Skokie man was
helping with instructing a con-cealed-carry class when the gun
went off, according to Deputy Aimee Knop, spokesperson for the
McHenry County Sheriffs Ofce.
The class was being held at a pri-vate residence, Knop said.
The shooting is still under inves-tigation and no citations had
been
issued as of April 29. The mans name was not released.
Woodstock Fire/Rescue Capt. Scott Nieman said the assisting
instructors gun had a misre.
The assistant instructor was transported to Centegra
Hospital-Woodstock with non-life-threaten-ing injuries.
Man shoots himself in hand at concealed-carry class
felony, April 27, after police arrested him at his Crystal Lake
home with-out incident, according to the McHenry County Sheriffs
Ofce.
Sheriffs ofcers were called dur-ing the morn-ing of March 25 to
a residence in the 7800 block of Balsam Drive in Wonder Lake for a
death i n v e s t i g a t i o n . Shortly after deputies arrived,
the scene was turned over to the McHenry County Sher-iffs Police
Narcotics Task Force for investigation.
Detectives recovered evidence indicating a 20-year-old female
may have ingested morphine prior to her death, Sheriff Bill Prim
said in a news release. Through the course of the investigation,
detec-tives learned that Jessie A. Brown had supplied morphine
pills to the woman recently.
The womans identity was not released by police.
Detectives spent one month col-lecting evidence and working with
the McHenry County States Attor-neys Ofce and McHenry County
Coroner before obtaining an arrest warrant for Brown.
Browns bond was set at $250,000 and he was transported to the
McHenry County Correctional Facility in Woodstock, where he was
still being held as of April 29. Brown was scheduled to appear in
court at 9 a.m. May 2.

that you may have other concerns, the recent survey said.
In April, Bull Valley ofcials dis-missed the Bull Valley Police
Depart-ments police chief, citing revenue concerns. The village
expects to col-lect $7,000 to $10,000 per year in gambling tax
revenues, Berendt said.
Boone Creek Golf Club is the only Bull Valley business so far to
have
requested video gambling. Wood-stock Country Club and Loyola
Uni-versity Retreat & Ecology Campus also are eligible for the
machines.

Taxes will fund cultural, marketing, development projects
By Katelyn StanekTHE INDEPENDENT
The Woodstock City Council has designated the citys tax revenues
from video gambling for cultural
projects, marketing and economic development.
Under the new resolution, approved April 19, municipal gambling
revenues will help to fund Woodstocks sister city program,
marketing projects, hol-iday lighting, Enterprise Zone
admin-istrative costs and the annual Summer in the Park community
festival.
The revenues also will be used to supplement hotel/motel tax
funding, which is distributed to area nonprot organizations.
Previously, gambling taxes went into the citys general fund and
were not formally earmarked.
At the time, we didnt know how much [gambling] would bring in,
said City Manager Roscoe Stelford. It was brand new.
In the last scal year, the city col-lected about $174,000 in
gambling tax revenues. Stelford said ofcials expect the amount the
city collects in gam-bling revenues to remain fairly con-sistent
over the next few years. The resolution passed unanimously.

Marian Central Catholic High School has chosen two new school
adminis-trators as Principal Barb Villont pre-pares to move to a
superintendent/principal role in Elgin.
Debra Novy, Hampshire, has been selected to serve as Marians new
prin-cipal. Novy brings 20 years of educa-tional experience and
currently serves as assistant principal at Kennedy Mid-dle School
in Rock-ford School Dis-trict 205, according to Marian
Super-intendent Andy Edmondson.
Over the years, Novy has taught second through eighth grades.
She served as a district curriculum writer, team leader and
department head while working with Community Unit School District
300, based in Algonquin, Edmondson said. She holds a Bachelor of
Arts degree in business management and econom-ics from Rockford
College, a Master of Arts in teaching from National Louis
University and an administrative cer-ticate from Argosy
University.
Edmondson said Novy was hired because she had a well-rounded
edu-cational background, a positive atti-tude and strong faith.
Novy will start at Marian July 1.
She has a Christ-centered life that I felt she could bring to
Marian, Edmondson said.
Marian English department chair-woman Cheryl Loy, who has been
teaching at Marian for 10 years, has been chosen to serve as the
schools new assistant principal.
On April 20, the Rockford Diocese announced Villont, with Marian
for
eight years, was named the new super-intendent and principal for
St. Edward Central Catholic High School in Elgin. Prior to joining
Marian, Villont taught junior high at St. Mary School in
Woodstock.
Villont resides in Woodstock with her husband, Kevin, and their
ve chil-dren. Villont will succeed St. Edward interim principal
Paul Herrmann, who was appointed to the position fol-lowing the
sudden death of the Rev. Edward Seisser, Aug. 16, 2015. She will
begin her new role July 1.
I am incredibly grateful for the opportunities, memories and
relation-ships I have had in my eight years at Marian Central,
Villont said. I have been blessed. With Gods grace, I look forward
to serving, supporting, guid-ing, and leading the St. Edward
com-munity into a prosperous future.
In her work as Marians princi-pal, Villont has overseen
instruc-tional technology, curriculum devel-opment, professional
development, accreditation, school improvement planning, marketing,
enrollment and admissions.
I am excited about Barb taking over at St. Edward High School,
said Michael Kagan, diocesan superinten-dent of Catholic schools.
She brings a wealth of experience and a diverse skill set to this
position. She has risen through the ranks of our Catholic school
system and has worked in many different environments. Very few of
our administrators can say they have expe-rience in our Catholic
elementary, mid-dle and high schools.

Dick Tracy is on his way to Woodstock again, courtesy of the
newly formed Friends of the Old Courthouse.
The nonprot group is reviving a celebration of the famed
detective and his creator, Chester Gould, who lived and worked in
the Woodstock area while penning the syndicated cartoon strip Dick
Tracy.
Yes, to the relief of Crimestoppers everywhere, Dick Tracy Day
is back.
This time, the event is taking on a new form. The tribute to one
of Americas favorite private eyes and to one of historys most
widely-read cartoon-ists will include a lofty attempt at a world
record that we think Dick Tracy would truly admire. The Friends of
the Old Courthouse is planning to build the worlds longest comic
strip as the highlight of the celebration.
The Friends, an organization created in January to help raise
money for the restoration of the city of Woodstocks Old Courthouse
and Sheriffs House property, have the Guinness Book of World
Records in their sights. Members are aiming to produce a strip of
Dick Tracy cells traced from original com-ics that will stretch
nearly one mile and be displayed on the Woodstock Square Saturday,
July 2.
Other Dick Tracy Day events will include walk-ing tours, crafts,
food from vendors, a silent auc-tion, a documentary screening and
more.
The Friends are using the day as a fundraiser for the Old
Courthouse, which is undergoing mas-sive, not to mention expensive,
restoration efforts. Theyre looking for business sponsors for the
event as well as for volunteers to help create what could be their
record-setting comic strip.
The loss several years ago of the Chester Gould-Dick Tracy
Museum and Woodstocks Dick Tracy Days celebration has always been
disappointing. We tip our yellow fedoras to the Friends of the Old
Courthouse for reviving a celebration of Gould and Tracy.
To volunteer for the comic strip event, visit
www.FriendsOfTheOldCourthouse.org. For more information, email
[email protected].
Community choir a great addition to Woodstock
You should have been there.The Woodstock arts and music
community
have a great new addition: the Woodstock Com-munity Choir.
Theyve just nished their third recital May 1, and it was
fantastic.
The afternoons program theme was Celebrat-ing Women in Music and
included 11 selections of pop-oriented songs arranged for a
choir.
Highlights included the concluding number, Sweet Dreams (Are
Made of This) written and made popular by Annie Lennox and Dave
Stew-art, otherwise known as the Eurythmics, and The Shoop Shoop
Song, written by Rudy Clark and made popular most recently by Cher.
A very capable band accompanied the choir for all but Sweet
Dreams.
The recital was free and held in Woodstock North High Schools
auditorium.
Another standout was Here I Am, an origi-nal song written by the
choirs founder, Cassan-dra Vohs-Demann. Its an anthem about
per-severance and persistence. Ms. Vohs-Demann sang lead and played
acoustic guitar with the band and chorus. The group featured
soloists for nearly every tune. I, for one, cant imagine standing
in front of a crowd and singing at the top of your lungs. But these
folks will sing in the spotlight, and I was fortunate to be there
and
hear it for myself.Choir members are all volunteers who just
want to sing. Woodstock is lucky they do.You all should attend
next time. A better hour
cannot be spent.Mike Smith,

INDEPENDENTTheWoodstock
We can thank Anna Jarvis of West Virginia for Mothers Day. Anna
wasnt a mother herself. She wanted to honor her mother, Ann Reeves
Jar-vis, who had been a peace activist and cared for wounded
soldiers on both sides during the Civil War.
Annas initial Mothers Day obser-vance was a memorial service for
her mother in 1908 at their home church.
Anna successfully lobbied for Mothers Day legislation in West
Vir-ginia in 1908. Then in 1914, President Woodrow Wilson signed a
proclama-tion designating the second Sunday in May as Mothers Day
in the U.S.
Annas idea of honoring moth-ers was to have children, young and
grown, write letters or other literary works expressing their
appreciation and love for their mothers.
By 1920, Hallmark and other card companies were selling Mothers
Day cards. Candy companies and orists also seized the opportunity
to benet from the love shown to mothers on their day.
Anna abhorred the commercializa-tion of Mothers Day. She moved
from championing its cause to wanting to abolish what it had
become. She
even was against worthwhile orga-nizations using Mothers Day for
the benet of their own causes.
Carnations became the sig-nature owers of Mothers Day. In 1925,
Anna pro-tested the sale of them by the Ameri-can War Moth-ers and
was arrested for disturbing the peace.
I feel Annas pain. Though I am touched by the senti-
ment in a well-chosen greeting card, the decadence of chocolate
and the beauty of greenhouse owers, for Mothers Day I much prefer a
hand-written note, a picnic in a park or owers gathered from the
garden.
I dont know who came up with the idea of serving mother
breakfast in bed for her special day. It never really appealed to
me. I much preferred being in the kitchen with my sons as they
cooked breakfast. It would have been torture lying in bed and
hearing them
having fun without me. For the mom who would welcome
an extra half-hour or hour in bed while her children and husband
pre-pare her breakfast, I say go for it.
Im sad to say I dont remember my early expressions of love and
gratitude for my mother on Mothers Day. I am hopeful my elementary
school teach-ers helped me create some artwork. Mom loved owers,
and I can imagine I cut a bouquet for her from time to time
probably iris and maybe some bridal wreath. I inherited a love of
cooking from her, so theres a high probability she encouraged me as
I fancied up her Mothers Day dinner.
As an adult, I was more like the Anna who started Mothers Day,
penning my own thoughts to Mom. Unlike Anna, I liked nding a
beauti-ful card, often with pictures of ow-ers, to send, since we
lived far apart. Then, Id write my own thoughts in it.
Sunday is Mothers Day. Honor the mothers in your life with
handwritten notes or something created by your own hands. Be
creative. Make it a day lled with gratitude and love.Cheryl Wormley

SchoolsOlson declares Mrs. Summerfield Day for staff members
80th birthday
By Janet DovidioTHE INDEPENDENT
Students and staff at a Woodstock elementary school celebrated
the 80th birthday of one of the schools staff members by declaring
Mrs. Summereld Day at Olson Elemen-tary School.
Pauline Summereld is a response- to-intervention associate at
Olson. She has worked for Woodstock School District 200 for nine
years and at Olson for six.
The school and staff marked her birthday with a big celebration
March 23. The birthday celebration was a surprise. Decorations
included 80 Mardi Gras beads, 80 balloons and 80 student signatures
on a sign that read Pauline Summereld for President.
The school gave gifts of 80 mints, 80 bags of tea and a list of
80 events that happened in 1936. Students wrote about what they
thought life was like in 1936. These pages were compiled into a
book for Summereld.
The largest gift was a reading bench from the staff. It will be
located in the front hall of the school with a plaque indicating it
was donated to honor her service to Olson.
Today was the surprise of my life, she said, and a nice surprise
at that!
Summereld said she enjoys helping students improve their reading
skills.
Working is an advantage, she said. It keeps the mind functioning
and the body and soul invigorated.
Olson Principal Diana Frisbie added, Students and staff have
bene-ted greatly from the wisdom, wit and work ethic modeled by
Mrs. Summer-eld. She continues to demonstrate dedication to
learning and to Olson Elementary School.
Summereld grew up in Michigan and currently resides in Huntley.
She has four children, eight grandchildren and three
great-grandchildren.News of recognitions, milestones and other
community events can be sent to Janet Dovidio at

HIGHLIGHT
By Stephanie PriceTHE INDEPENDENT
This year, when the Woodstock class of 2016 seniors receive
their diplomas, a special group of District 200 stu-dents will be
among them.
This years graduating class includes the rst students completing
District 200s dual-language program. The approximately 25 students
have par-ticipated in the program from rst through 12th grade. The
department of language and culture hosted a cel-ebration to honor
the students and their families May 1 at Mary Endres Elementary
School, 2181 N. Route 47.
Were expecting over 100 families to attend, and were holding the
cele-bration at Mary Endres because thats where the students
started the pro-gram when they were rst-graders, said Keely
Krueger, director of grants, language and culture for District
200.
For students in the districts dual- language program, 50 percent
of class instruction is delivered in English and
the other 50 percent is instructed in Spanish. The goal of the
program is for students to learn to read, write, lis-ten and speak
in both languages, as well as develop cultural awareness, Krueger
said.
District 200 was one of the rst districts in McHenry County to
offer a dual-language program and one of the rst in the state of
Illinois to offer a comprehensive prekindergarten- to-12th-grade
program, Krueger said.
The special celebration was also held to recognize about 50
District 200 students who will receive the Illinois Seal of
Biliteracy upon graduation.
As Krueger explained to the Dis-trict 200 School Board April 26,
the Seal of Biliteracy is a new program, offered by the state for
the rst time last year, that awards recognition to high school
graduates who have dem-onstrated a high level of prociency in
English and also in reading, writ-ing, listening and speaking in a
sec-ond language. Illinois is the fourth of 16 states to offer the
biliteracy seal,
Krueger said. This Seal of Biliteracy is not nec-
essarily just given to dual-language students who have studied
Spanish, Krueger said. And students dont have to take courses to
get it.
Krueger said students who prove their aptitude in any second
language such as French, German, Latin, Pol-ish, etc., are eligible
to receive the seal. Krueger told school board mem-bers state
legislators are expected to vote upon a proposed law that would
require Illinois universities and col-leges to award 12
college-level credit hours to students graduating with the Seal of
Biliteracy.
Since the seniors began as the dis-tricts rst dual-language
learners in 2004, District 200s program has grown to serve more
than 2,200 stu-dents districtwide, Krueger said. More information
about the pro-gram is available on the depart-ment of language and
culture web-site at Lang.WoodstockSchools.org/Dual-language.

COURTESY PHOTOWoodstock writer Craig Hallenstein discusses his
novel The Dolphin at Read Between the Lynes, 111 E. Van Buren
St.
Craig Hallensteins book earns honorable mention at Los Angeles
Book Festival
By Katelyn StanekTHE INDEPENDENT
Woodstocks Craig Hallenstein is busy.
The new author has been on the literary circuit in recent months
to promote his debut novel, The Dol-phin. Last week, he was in New
Orleans for what he described as two book signings, a great party
and Stevie Wonder. (The famed New Orleans Jazz Fest happened to be
running at the same time.)
Ive been coming down [to New Orleans] since 1986, and the rst
time I ever came down and the cab driver pulled into the French
Quar-ter, I just got chills running up and down my spine,
Hallenstein said. That was it. I felt like I was home, and yet Id
never been here before.
Hallenstein owns several prop-erties in the Big Easy now, and he
considers the city a second home. So it makes sense he would choose
New Orleans as the setting for his rst novel, a book he said took
nine months to write and nine years to edit.
I grew up in a family of writers. Ive always written, but its
always been on the side because I needed to raise ve kids, I needed
to earn a living, Hallenstein, a psychologist by training,
said.
The Dolphin is a psychologi-cal thriller-meets-crime m y s t e r
y that centers around a prod-igy whose promising life takes a turn
for the worse when he wrongly ends up on a sex offender registry at
the age of 18.
I like the metaphor of the dolphin,
the innocent sh being caught when police go after sharks,
Hal-
lenstein said. They occa-sionally will catch in the net innocent
people who have been rel-egated to sex offender reg-istration who,
in my mind,
dont deserve it.Although this is his rst novel,
Hallenstein is earning plaudits for
The Dolphin. The book received an honorable mention at the 2016
Los Angeles Book Festival, and the author recently was featured on
a panel at the Tennessee Williams/New Orleans Literary
Festival.
Closer to home, Hallenstein will appear at Beloit Colleges
Turtle Creek Bookstore, 444 E. Grand Ave., Beloit, Wis., from 2 to
4 p.m. Sat-urday, June 11. In October, hell be signing books at The
Book Cellar in Chicago.
Hallenstein said hes been happy with his readers response to the
book, particularly in online reviews.
I spent nine years not knowing if anyone would ever like this
book, how people would take to it, and when the Amazon reviews came
out, I nally had my answer. People liked the story.
I grew up in a family of writ-ers. Ive always written, but its
always been on the side because I needed to raise five kids, I
needed to earn a living.

Nine-hole course has been ranked No. 1 in the nation
By Stephanie PriceTHE INDEPENDENT
The layout of Woodstock Coun-try Clubs nine-hole golf course is
nearly the same as when legend-ary Scottish golf course architect
Thomas Bendelow designed it 100 years ago.
The fact the par-35 course, built upon 65 rolling acres north of
Coun-try Club Road, retains many of the design traits for which
Bendelow was famous is one reason it was rated among the top 25
best nine-hole courses in the country by Golf World magazine in
2010 and eventu-ally was ranked the No. 1 nine-hole course by Golf
Digest magazine in 2013.
The greens themselves are in the exact same place today as they
were in 1916, said club golf professional Allen Brown. The course
has small greens, tight fairways. Its an aver-age-length golf
course. Its a chal-lenge, but it doesnt beat you up. Weve got
something thats obvi-ously stood the test of time.
Woodstock Country Club is cel-ebrating its 100th year. The club
was ofcially started May 19, 1916, according to clubhouse manager
and executive chef Teresa Jaramillo Ryan, who is already planning
cen-tennial celebrations for the upcom-ing season.
Ryan, who started working at the club as a buser when she was 14
years old, calls WCC a microcosm of the Woodstock community. Its
the place where members and their guests can enjoy the scenic hills
and stately oak trees that sprouted over the century on the former
farmland.
Afterwards, they and their families can share lunch, dinner or
drinks in the 4,652-square-foot clubhouse, which is also the site
for weddings, showers, birthday parties, baptisms, anniversaries
and other special cel-ebrations the good times in life. The
building, a former farmhouse, was renovated eight years ago to
update the interior dcor in the Ben-delow room, convert the

professional Allen Brown stands in front of the clubhouse and
centennial banner. WCC is celebrating its 100th anniversary May
19.
Woodstock Country Club marks centennial
porch to the Glen Crest room lled with windows and most
recently, to update the ladies locker room facil-ities, which often
double for the bridal party dressing room.
Theres been a lot of love here, Ryan said. This is the place
where the heart of Woodstock comes together and feels like a
family.
The club is comprised of a mix of senior members, many of whom
are sons and daughters of previous members, and a younger set
com-ing in. Over time, the property was annexed into the village of
Bull Val-ley, which the members unsuccess-fully fought in court.
Nevertheless, the club has always been member-owned and
managed.
Making it through the Great Depression was a huge triumph for
the club, Ryan said.
The members past and present
should be credited for keeping the course in its pristine
condition, Brown added. Since it is member-owned, the course could
have been changed or altered at anytime to sat-isfy a whim. The
course has a tradi-tional routing where the rst ve holes are
located along the perim-eter of the property and the nal four holes
run the interior. The sur-rounding properties boast secluded
woodlands.
The beauty surrounding the course, particularly during the fall
months when the leaves are vibrant orange and red, and its difculty
level have kept golfers returning year after year, despite rising
com-petition from several new area courses built over the past 20
years. An industrywide push that promotes nine-hole courses is
helping drive new members to the club as well, Brown said.
I think thats also a testament to the course that were still
here 100 years later, Brown said. There are more golf courses than
we have golfers for, but were still here.
For membership information, visit
woodstockcc.memberstatements.com or call 815-338-2191.
This is the place where the heart of Woodstock comes together
and feels like a family.

CommunityHigh school students take on marketing challenge
By Janet DovidioTHE INDEPENDENT
A total of 240 high school marketing students from nine area
high schools participated in McHenry County Col-leges 2016
Marketing Challenge in April.
The challenge for the 49 student teams was to create the best
market-ing plan for this years sponsor, Jer-sey Mikes Subs. Mark
Michalak, who owns stores in Crystal Lake, Lake in the Hills and
Lake Zurich said, The kids did a great job. Their creativ-ity and
out-of-the-box ideas were phenomenal.
The students had one hour to show-case a nonelectronic
presentation on a new marketing plan and slogan for the company.
Woodstock High School had four teams. One captured third place and
another came in fourth.
Steven R. Thompson is the inter-related occupations coordinator
and business teacher at Woodstock and Woodstock North High
Schools.
The reason for the nonelectronic part of the presentation was to
dis-courage phone use during the event, he said. Students had to
research ahead of time, and all ideas were con-veyed on ip charts
with tables, story-boards and written ideas. The emphasis was on
presentation skills like eye con-tact, condence, organization,
member involvement and speaking skills.
WHS Future Business Leaders of America club earned third place.
Members included Jade Bellairs, Parker Burton, Samantha Byrnes,
Caden Fosnaugh and Chris King. Their winning slogan was Clean Cut
Catering.
WHS Marketing Class No. 3 took fourth place. Members were Nic
Ihs-sen, Adam Krauser, Nick Kubiak, Dan Nattress and Tyler
Peake.
This was the rst time my students competed at the event, said
Thomp-son. I am very pleased with the MCC event, the students
results and the learning that took place.News of recognitions,
milestones and other community events can be sent to Janet Dovidio

Tucked away in rural Woodstock, nestled on 80 acres of land,
Marmont Farm, 15515 Nelson Road, offers equine boarding, riding
lessons, indoor and outdoor arenas and a personal touch. Owner
Karen Sedlock is celebrating 10 years of operation, but what is
most important, she said, are the friend-ships shes made over the
years and the bonds shes made with the horses.
Sedlock spent years working at area barns before earning her
bachelors degree in equine studies and equine business management
from the Uni-versity of Findlay in Ohio. After grad-uating, she
continued to work at other local farms before deciding to embark on
the journey of her dreams.
It was nally time for me to have a farm of my own, she said,
recall-ing the time she spent designing and laying the groundwork
for the barn, which ofcially opened 10 years ago. Her family had
owned the land since 1999 but didnt begin developing it until
2005.
Once the plans were laid and the building had started, Sedlock
knew this was where she was supposed to be.
This is the best place here, with the horses, Sedlock said. The
people who board here have become friends. We talk at the barn, but
we also talk out-side of the barn, have dinner together and text
each other. I am surrounded by really good people.
The friendships have been culti-vated over the past decade.
Board-ers come and go that is the nature of boarding. But there are
a lot who have stayed and who have become like family. It makes my
job easier, Sedlock continued.
When Sedlock opened Marmont Farm, she had two horses her own
horse, Rhett, and a school horse. Since then, her boarding business
has increased exponentially.
Shes come a long way, Janet Sed-lock, Karen Sedlocks mother
said. Were all very proud of her.
Karen Sedlock said Marmont Farm currently boards 17 horses and
Sed-lock takes care of them all herself. She
does not employ any other barn help. This is a family farm, she
explained. I am up at 6 and feed the horses, turn them out, take
care of the stalls, make sure they are acting OK. But I wouldnt
trade it these horses are the best, she said.
In addition to boarding, Marmont Farm offers hunter-jumper
classes and riding lessons. The barn is home to seven horses owned
by the Sedlocks, but there are a wide variety of horses that comes
through her stables.
Taking care of so many horses requires a keen intuition and
access to medical professionals sometimes at odd hours. Karen
Sedlock said hav-ing a trusted veterinarian at her n-gertips has
helped her tremendously.
She has formed a special relation-ship with Dr. Ann McCombs, a
trav-eling veterinar-ian who resides in
Harvard. Through that friendship, Sed-lock met Susan Keating, a
horse trainer from Woodstock.
McCombs and Keating organized a carriage-driving opportunity for
Keat-ings students at Marmont Farm. The yearly event was held April
23 and drew ve carriage drivers.
Karen [Sedlock]s indoor arena is a great size for driving
practice. Most of us dont have an indoor practice area, so Karen
graciously lets us use this space. It is great to get the
horses
into practice after the winter months, Keating said.
There is nothing more challeng-ing than driving, Keating
continued. It might look relaxing, but you have to pay vigilant
attention to everything around you.
Pat Nesler, Barrington, is a student of Keatings, and she boards
her Welsh pony Miata at Marmont Farm. The barn is a beautiful,
quiet environment, she said. It is clean it is just a won-derful
place to come to and Karen takes such good care of the horses.
It is that care which sets Marmont Farm apart. I am the person
who is with the horses all the time I dont get holidays, I dont get
sick days. I know each horses personality. I can tell when a horse
is feeling off, Sedlock said. It is that commitment that earns her
favor with her boarders.
Karen is always looking after the horses, and we know they are
in good hands, Nesler said.
Sedlock recalled that her most memorable moment was when one of
the horses gave birth in the middle of the night.
It was just me and the mommy horse. It was amazing to be there
together as she brought a new horse into the world, Sedlock said.
But it also has been amazing to watch some of my students. One
little girl started here when she was 8. She now is 18, and I think
about how far shes come it has been an incredible 10 years.
Farm marks 10th anniversary
It was finally time for me to have a farm of my own.

The nature of hybrids
The American Bison (Bison bison) was last documented in Illinois
in the 1830s nearly 200 years ago. That is, until 30 of the animals
were introduced at Nachusa Grasslands in Franklin Grove in late
2014. Since then, another herd of 27 bison was introduced at
Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie in Wilmington.
Prior to the arrival of Euro-pean settlers to the continent in
the 1500s, there is evidence 60 mil-lion American Bison roamed
across North America. By the late 1800s, the 2,000-pound behemoths
were nearly extinct and only one wild population remained in
Yellowstone National Park. Fortunately, the U.S. Congress
designated Yellowstone as the rst national park in 1872, before all
the bison were hunted out of the area.
The North American bison pop-ulation has rebounded to nearly
500,000 today, but the vast major-ity are actually bison-cattle
hybrids. Less than 10 percent of American bison today are
considered wild (not descended from domesticated hybrids) and less
than 10 percent of the wild bison roam in landscapes without fences
(e.g. Yellowstones two bison herds and a few others).
As far back as 1880, ranchers were trying to cross cattle with
bison to improve the cattles hardiness in the face of harsh North
American
winters. The resulting meat was found to have lower cholesterol
and higher protein content than the cattle meat.
There is evidence that the hybrids are smaller and may be less
hardy than purebred bison. In other words, the hybrids are not
actually equiva-lent to the originals.
People have been hybridizing species for almost as long as weve
been around. An example of an early hybrid would be corn (also
called maize). In an area that is near Oax-aca, Mexico, today,
native people 10,000 years ago began to selectively plant grass
species with relatively large fruit kernels what we call the
corncob. They found that the kernels were a good source of starch.
Over time, through selective planting and cross-pollinating, the
cobs went from about an inch in size up to six inches in
length.
Over time, dozens of varieties of maize were formed through
selec-tive planting of grass seed, with each variety exhibiting
slightly different characteristics in kernel size, color,
sweetness, starch content, etc. What they all had in common however
was a consistent genetic code they were all the species Zea mays,
just as all humans are Homo sapiens, but some of us are short with
blue eyes and others are tall with green eyes.
The genetic diversity within a spe-cies increases the likelihood
that in times of stress, some of the individu-als will survive.
Today, much corn seed is actu-ally engineered in a lab, rather
than saved from the previous years har-vest. This guarantees a
specic per-formance by each seed and virtually eliminates any
variation from plant to plant. The engineered seed also has allowed
seed manufacturers to insert genetic material into the corn seeds
to resist various diseases, repel cer-tain insects with built-in
insecticides and allow the corn plants to thrive even if sprayed
with an herbicide that kills all surrounding plants (known as
Round-up Ready corn).
One downside is that every seed is genetically identical to
every other. And in the realm of biodiversity, con-sistency comes
at a very steep price. Populations that lack genetic diversity are
more vulnerable to changing envi-ronmental conditions if a change
affects one individual in a negative way, it will affect all
members of the population in a negative way!
Whether it is the species Bison bison or Zea mays, there is
value in preserving genetic diversity within a species. And,
diversity isnt some-thing that can be engineered.

Conservancy.
