Boating MADE EASY

Five ways to rest, relax and recharge on the water

Feeling stressed? Adding water to your summer plans may be one of the best remedies. More than four in five Americans say being around water relaxes them, and 72 percent feel healthier after spending time on the water, according to a 2015 Discover Boating survey by Wakefield Research. With Americans working longer hours, the need to take vacation time is greater than ever. Four in 10 Americans are not using all their paid time off and 81 percent of Americans feel reducing stress levels is a top priority when taking PTO, according to Project: Time Off’s 2015 research by GFK Public Affairs. “Today’s technology can make it difficult to fully disconnect and relax, which is why boating offers a unique solution,” says Carl Blackwell, president of Discover Boating. “Surrounded by water, fresh air and your favorite people makes a boat one of the rare places where you can focus on each other, forget about daily distractions and enjoy the outdoors.” Whether on vacation or staycation, there Summer 2016

are fun, stress-free ways to get on the water. Discover Boating’s insider tips can help anyone get started in fishing, wakesurfing, sailing, personal watercraft and cruising this summer.

Take a class Sign up for a boating lesson to hone

those powerboating, sailing or watersports skills by mastering the basics while having fun along the way. Find boating classes, training courses and even youth boating programs close to home on DiscoverBoating.com’s education and training section.

Join a club Find a boat club near you for a hassle-

free and cost-sharing way to access a versatile fleet of boats. Simply pay a monthly fee and book your time online. Most boat clubs take care of docking, cleaning, and maintenance, with members responsible for fuel. Plus, most offer extensive boater education courses as part of the membership.

Share the fun Share the fun and the budget. Fractional

ownership programs are similar to boat clubs offering shared access to boats paired with maintenance and education, with a few subtle differences – an annual fee Catch all the

ACTION

versus monthly dues and assignment of members to a particular boat, similar to a property timeshare instead of a fleet of boats. Another popular “sharing” trend is to go in on a boat with family or friends to share the costs. Try Discover Boating’s boat selector tool to research what boat best fits your budget and lifestyle.

Rent a boat Rental options are available on most

waterways and provide hourly or daily access to a variety of boat types. Rental outfitters provide tutorials on operating a boat, share safety instructions and offer suggestions on destinations. Another rental option new to market is peer-to-peer rentals, allowing you to rent someone else’s boat, which usually includes insurance and captains for hire to help you set sail.

Charter a trip Explore new waters and experience the

boating lifestyle by chartering a boat trip with family or friends. Chartering offers options – bareboat (with no captain) or crewed (with captain and crew) for a few days or weeks long. Pick your preferences and chart your course.

GENERAL

TIPS

boating safety 1

No matter what activity you have planned – boating, fishing, paddling and more – always remember to wear a life jacket every time you are on the water. Accidents on the water can happen much too fast to reach and put on a stowed life jacket.

Make sure your life jacket is U.S. Coast Guard approved, appropriate for your water activity, and that it fits properly. A life jacket that is too large or too small can cause different situational problems. All persons should always wear a life jacket.

3 4 5

Know your state’s boating laws before you get out on the water. Rules and laws can differ from state to state and violations can result in ticketing, fines or jail time.

6 7 16

Take a boating safety course. Learn valuable tips that can help save your life in unexpected situations by taking a National Association of Boating Law Administrators approved boating safety course.

Make sure your boat is as prepared as you are. There are many items that need to be checked and re-checked on any boat. Schedule a Vessel Safety Check with your local U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary or U.S. Power Squadrons before you hit the water. Boat capacity. Be sure to know your boat’s capacity. If you have more on your boat than it was designed to handle, the boat may become unstable and capsize.

Check the weather, including the water temperature. Know the latest marine weather forecast prior to going out, and keep a regular check for changing conditions.

Dress properly. Always dress for the weather, wearing layers if cooler weather, and bring an extra set of clothes in case you get wet.

Always follow navigation rules. Know the ‘Rules of the Road’ such as operator’s responsibility, maintaining a proper lookout, safe speed, crossing, meeting head-on and overtaking situations. Find out more at boatoncourse.com.

Always file a float plan. File a float plan with someone you trust that includes details about the trip, boat, persons, towing or trailer vehicle, communication equipment, and emergency contacts. Find out more at floatplancentral.org.

ACTION

Summer 2016

Don’t drink while you boat. Where the primary cause was known, alcohol was listed as the leading factor in 21 percent of deaths in 2014. Find out more at operationdrywater.org.

Beware of carbon monoxide poisoning. Gasolinepowered engines on boats, including onboard generators, produce carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless gas that can poison or kill someone who breathes too much of it. Be sure to install and maintain a working CO detector, never block exhaust outlets, and always dock, beach or anchor at least 20 feet away from the nearest boat that is running a generator or engine.

13 14 Drs. Sellke & Reily

Keep in touch. Communication devices can be the most important piece of emergency equipment on board a vessel, especially in case of emergency. Cell phones, satellite phones, emergency position indicating radio beacons, VHF radios and personal locator beacons can all contribute in an emergency situation. Go to safeboatingcampaign.com to learn more about boating safely.

BY CORRESPONDENT

The Fox River begins in southern Wisconsin about 15 miles northwest of Milwaukee. It meanders 185 miles from its origin dropping 470 feet before it reaches the Illinois River. Traveling through Lake, McHenry and DuPage counties, the Fox has been a favorite recreational area for residents and visitors since the late 1800s. It is not only the Fox River that invites visitors to the area but the area known as the Chain O’ Lakes that begins just south of the Wisconsin border – near Antioch, Richmond and Fox Lake, that attracted summertime visitors to the area. The area known as the Chain O’ Lakes consists of 15 lakes connected by the Fox River and some man-made channels that have attracted visitors to the area since the late 1800s. The area was originally a summer retreat area where visitors

arrived to escape the heat and poor quality air found in Chicago. Although the area was settled in the mid 1800s, it was not until the arrival of the trains that the summer populations grew. Prior to the arrival of the train, roads were few and travel by horse and buggy along rutted trails and marshy areas was not the most enjoyable or efficient. In 1854 trains began to travel to McHenry and became the place that visitors would arrive. Visitors would arrive in McHenry and be taken by horse and wagon to the shores of the Fox River on the other side of town. From there the passengers would travel by boat along the Fox to their destinations. The Hunter Boat Company based in McHenry built excursion boats, which made the trips up the Fox River to various resorts on Pistakee Lake and took visitors on a tour of the famous Grass Lake Lotus Beds. Fare for the boat ride Catch all the

up the Fox and through the Chain O’ Lakes to the Grass Lake lotus beds was 50 cents for a round trip excursion. By 1901 another train made its appearance in the Chain O’ Lakes area with a stop in Fox Lake. Here too visitors would be transported by boats sent from neighboring resorts to their accommodations for the week or the summer and also provided excursions to the Grass Lake lotus beds. Grass Lake is best known for the famous Egyptian Lotus Beds. The lake itself is 1,360 acres making it the third largest on the Chain O’ Lakes. Only Pistakee Lake and Fox Lake, at approximately 1,700 acres, are larger. Grass Lake while large is a very shallow lake averaging a depth of approximately 3 feet. In the late 1800s and early 1900s it was said to be a lake filled with wild rice and lotus beds. The lotus flowers are commonly known as water lilies and have been treasured for their beauty since ancient times. Buddhism and Hinduism regard the lotus as a symbol of beauty. In ancient Egypt, scholars noted that the lotus flowers opened in the morning then closed and “sank into the water” at night. They believed the blossoms underwent a Summer 2016

rebirth in the morning when the sun rose and thus believed the lotus was the symbol of rebirth. The lotus actually emerges from the pond over a three-day period and blooms from morning to late afternoon. The Lotus flowers were found in most of the lakes along the Chain, but it was Grass Lake that became famous for them because more than 50 percent of the flowers found in all the Chain O’Lakes were concentrated there. The lotus beds were so thick that a path had to be cut through them to allow the excursion boats an opening into the beds. Some of the areas were so narrow that the smaller boats could not row through without being entangled in the lotus beds. In many cases they used a technique known as “poling,” in which large poles were used as the “poler” stood and guided the boat by placing the poles on the bottom of the lake and pushing the boat ahead. The Lotus beds were a popular attraction throughout the Chain as they continued to grow in the early 1900s. During the years until the depression in the late 1920s summer visitors flocked to the area but after the market crash visitors were not as frequent, as families did not have the money to afford a lake house or a trip to the resorts. In the 1940s as prosperity returned and returning war veterans looked for housing,

growth of both year-round housing and summerhouses increased. With more boat traffic on the lakes interfering with the normal water flow the lotus beds receded until there were none left in Grass Lake. In the 1990s the lotus beds began to

reappear on Grass Lake. While they will probably never return to their former beauty and size, the presence of some lotus beds on Grass Lake and other lakes in the Chain O’Lakes is a welcome sight for many.

Where every item tells a story... UNIQUE GINGER BLOSSOM FEATURES MERCHANDISE FROM FIVE CONTINENTS, 65 COUNTRIES Janet Deaver-Pack

BY CORRESPONDENT

The claim of “Extraordinary Shopping from Five Continents” gives just a hint of what awaits. A couple of signs, often shared with other businesses, are all the visitor sees on approach from either direction on Highway 173 near Richmond. There are orchards and small farms in this area. There is also urban sprawl, bedroom communities springing up because of the proximity to Northern Chicago businesses. In the midst of these rests one farm, an island of serenity and pure magic known as Ginger Blossom, where every item tells a story. One of the first indicators visitors have that this is the correct driveway is sight of the herd of metal cows, horses, and other animals “grazing” and “playing” to the right. On the left a little farther up is a recumbent Buddha, whose gift to all who pass is a sense of tranquility. Parking is sometimes crowded, but well worth a short wait or a trek down the gravel driveway.

SHOPPING AS AN ADVENTURE

Shopping at Ginger Blossom is an experience normally reserved for those journeying to the Orient, uncommon destinations in Mexico, or South America. It offers rare and unique items for every taste, from hand-woven rugs to scarves repurposed from silk saris, to furniture, to decorating accessories, to jewelry, to hand-knitted sweaters from Tibet, to pieces of antique tribal costumes. It’s anyone’s guess what’s in the barns and buildings here. And the inventory constantly changes. “I love finding treasures on my buying trips,” said Ginger Blossom, a tall blond woman with an athletic figure and a ready smile who shares her name with her business. “And I love shipping them back home for my friends and customers to discover.” It’s Ginger who knows all the stories behind the unusual items she sells, and she’ll tell those to anyone who inquires. Ginger has a story herself. During the mid-1980s, she was a ski instructor in Europe. When not on the slopes, she enjoyed investigating local shops, discovering finely crafted, unique items. When family difficulties called her back to the Upper Midwest, she had to not only radically change her lifestyle, but also her means

of income. She finally decided that there was no better way to earn money than to set up shop with the treasures she loved to uncover in hidden corners and unexpected niches of souks and exotic markets.

BACK ON THE FARM

Ginger began her business in the early 1990s on the family farm near Richmond, working part-time. She exhibited her unusual wares at shows in Cedarburg and Evanston, Ill., and handed out hundreds of business cards. Those cards counted for only part of her advertising. Word about her unique items got around. A repeat customer brought a friend. Another woman liked the shop so much she brought a couple of cousins the next time she visited. The owner of the Wilmot Artisan Market bought a rearing horse to display in front of her shop, and so on. “Word of mouth is the best advertising,” Ginger said. “I still rely on it.” In the past, the huge barn to the west of the house has featured Mexican furniture, paintings, and glassware. Pottery and hand-carved wood were parts of that display. There was once an unusual Hindu bride’s chest over five feet tall on wheels, and made of dark wood, where the bride stored her clothes and treasured items until her wedding day. The family then paraded the chest through town to her new home as part of the nuptial festivities. There were Tibetan tea presses used for mixing that hot beverage with yak butter, a favored drink in the harsh Himalayan climate. There were gorgeous Oriental silk jackets. Beaded belts dangled from walls and dividers. Silk scarves made from old saris were piled in cabinets standing shoulder to shoulder along the walls. Architectural fragments from Myanmar covered several vertical areas. Brass statues of Hindu deities were tucked here and there,

Ski hill unveils investment plans Wilmot Mountain upgrades cause ripple effect in community Jason Arndt

BY STAFF WRITER

New Wilmot Mountain owner, Vail Resorts, Inc. of Colorado, unveiled a multimillion dollar transformation plan in March, creating a ripple effect in the community on the Wisconsin-Illinois border. The new owner, which purchased the ski hill in January from Stopa LLC, expects to start the $13 million project in the summer. General Manager Taylor Ogilvie, a 38-year-old Lincolnshire, Ill., resident, spent the first two months assessing the ski hill. “Right now we are just doing clean up and getting ready for renovations,” said Ogilvie, who replaced Dennis Sheen upon Vail’s acquisition in January. According to a press release, the company is replacing three ski lifts, upgrading snowmaking equipment, renovating the base lodge and adding new features. Features include a parents’ lounge, a new

Baskets of jewelry made in Tibet from turquoise, trade bead amber, horn, and silver invited investigation. Tiny yet wonderfully detailed silver cat face earrings went home with a lover of felines. And in the middle of the barn’s lower level were piles of beautiful, intricately patterned hand-made wool rugs about three feet high. Ginger used to practice yoga daily atop those rugs. “But I can’t do that any more,” she said with a smile. “The piles are too high now.”

RUSTIC, BUT REFINED

Part of the farmhouse and the barn hold the majority of Ginger’s current inventory. The scatter of smaller buildings between those two have allowed the business to expand as necessary. She shows all her Mexican “Day of the Dead” merchandise in one small structure just south of the barn. Another holds stacks of hand-knitted sweaters made by a woman’s cooperative in Tibet. It’s very practical for a cold Wisconsin winter. Ginger has also recently opened another building to showcase colorful Bengali kantha stitch quilts, as well as the furniture upholstered with it. In this room are also candleholders, statuary, and large rugs. In between the buildings are fountains, and smaller versions of the metal animals in the field next to the driveway, including pigs, deer, moose, cows, lions, and other wonderful creatures. “I’d call the style here rustic but refined,” Ginger said. Most of the furniture fits right in with eclectic décor. “What I look for when I’m buying are pieces made of ecologically sustainable materials that offer good value. They must also be functional as well as decorative.” Those are some of Ginger’s best selling points. She also does her own buying, shipping, and storage. Because of this, her prices are often more reasonable than those of similar pieces sold in Milwaukee and Chicago. This means business comes to the farm as soon as people find out about it. “I’ve been to 65 countries hunting for treasures,” Ginger said. “I talk to everybody when I get there (to find the best pieces).” Her reputation is often spread by the craftspeople in certain localities. They’ve learned that she’s honest, and know the kind of items she looks for. “The Peruvian government flew me there to find things for my shop.” Ginger brought home wonderful textiles from western South America such as embroidered wool from Cuzco and Ayacucho. She is a self-described “textile nerd.” “I love all the patterns and the feel (of the fabrics),” she said, rubbing thumb and fingers

EPIC BUYING TRIPS

FURNITURE WITH FLAIR

She makes one extended buying trip per season, normally around January. Ginger has to consider timing seriously because there’s often anywhere from three to nine months required for shipping between purchase and arrival in Richmond. After all, most things she purchases come from at least half a world away. Ginger has a rare talent in choosing wares for her store. “I always start with the rugs,” she explains. “After that, I ‘see’ other items that go with them.” Sometimes she shops with one of her good clients in mind, understanding from experience the hues and textures they prefer. There’s nothing like having a personal shopper who travels the world. “But things do change, tastes change.” And that’s why her varied inventory never stays the same from month to month, or year to year. One of the items she currently offers is a small relatively plain wooden box with a glass front. Each is slightly larger or smaller than the next. They’re painted red or yellow, and that has peeled a bit to let the patina of the wood show. “There’s a story,” Ginger said, pointing to several sitting on the porch of the farmhouse, where she and her staff of around 10 people unpack boxes and display some of the new arrivals until they’re moved to permanent locations for display. “That’s an Indian clock box. After the British colonized India, they imported clocks. Most Indians had never seen anything like them. When a native bought a clock or received one as a gift, they were so prized that individuals had these little boxes made to protect them. They put the clock in Catch all the

At present, some of the store’s bestselling items include furniture made from recycled wood, furniture having front panels decorated with old print blocks previously used for making patterns on cloth (sometimes subtle traces of dye remain in the blocks), and driftwood furniture. Recycled silk saris made into scarves patterned with felted wool in gorgeous bright colors are irresistible. Thick gloves with half-fingers and a hoodlike covering for the unprotected digits have arrived just in time for cold weather. From Mexico, Ginger returned with elegant footed goblets having incised patterns made from recycled glass that can preside at the most formal dinner without apology. And there’s much more here. It seems every nook and cranny holds a treasure. Customers come back time after time because it’s impossible to take in everything during one visit. Time spent here seems more like a vacation than shopping. Ginger lives on the premises, along with her husband Eric, two Belgian shepherd dogs, which delight in helping her ski in the winter, and several cats. The organic farm next door is run by her brother Gary. The property is protected by an unusual security consortium consisting of statues of Shiva and Buddha, the Belgian shepherds, various lion dog representations snarling from the tops of cabinets, and that ineffable sense of serene magic that infuses Ginger Blossom and makes it so very rare.

kids ski and snowboard school facility and an upgraded terrain park. Ogilvie, who used the ski hill as a child, hopes renovations bring in more families. “It is all built to make a great place for families,” he said. “It is taking a holistic approach for the kids to make it as fun as possible.” Citing the age of the three ski lifts, Vail plans to replace them and add a high-speed rope tow in the terrain park and two new surface conveyer lifts. Upgrades to the lifts could increase capacity 45 percent. The base area transformations includes 400 seats, more food and beverage options and Wi-Fi in the bar and lounge areas. The Kids Ski and Snowboard School expects to have a lunch and break room with places for parents to supervise activities. Rob Katz, Chairman of Vail Resorts, Inc., said through a press release that guests can expect a better experience. “We think our guests from Chicago and Milwaukee will be thrilled with the investments we are making at Wilmot for the 2016-17 ski season,” Katz said. Furthermore, a $609 Epic Local Pass also can be used to access Vail’s nine other ski hills in Colorado, Utah and Lake Tahoe, Nevada. While crews at Wilmot Mountain are cleaning up in preparation for upgrades, Vail Resorts is drawing up renderings, Ogilvie said. “We have been engaging with architects and engineers and we should have artist renderings,” he said. “A lot of pieces have to come together.” Following completion of renderings, general contractors can bid on the project, Ogilvie said. “Our practice in this project is to definitely go local,” he said.

With Wilmot Mountain set for renovation in the summer, Wilmot Mountain Flea Market is relocating to the Kenosha County Fairgrounds, according to several sources. The originally offered alternative at Wilmot Mountain was deemed inadequate by the Flea Market. “We simply offered them the use of the tubing area,” Ogilvie said. “But they said it was too small.” The Flea Market informed people via social media last month of a potential move, with approval from the Kenosha County Fair Board two weeks later. Phone calls and emails to contacts listed on the Flea Market website went unreturned. “Vail Properties purchased Wilmot Mountain and will be undertaking a huge renovation project in the summer of 2016. Vail Properties tried to accommodate the market by offering us the use of the tubing area parking lot,” the website stated. Kelly Ladyga, vice president of corporate communications for Vail Resorts, Inc., said changes were inevitable, citing January’s news release. “As we had indicated in our acquisition announcement of Wilmot, we plan to completely transform the experience at the ski area over the coming months and in time for the 2016-17 winter season,” Ladyga said. Subsequently, the Wilmot Union High School Board voted 4-0 in its regular meeting last week to allow the Fairgrounds use of the student parking lot every weekend, with exception to graduation.

Antioch’s Pickard China is a

N AT I O N A L T R E A S U R E Sandra Landen Machaj BY CORRESPONDENT

From hand painted decorative plates and tea sets to high end Presidential China, Pickard sets the standards. In 1893 Wilder Pickard fulfilled his dream of establishing a company that offered hand-painted giftware and art ware. The company, which he named Pickard China Studio, opened in Edgerton, Wis., and specialized in dessert and tea sets that were decorated by hand. By 1900 Pickard moved his successful business to Chicago where it continued to prosper. Here Pickard established a group of china painters, some of whom were students at the Art Institute of Chicago, and other artists who came from Europe to hand paint one of a kind ceramic pieces. These early works remain very collectible. The company began as a family business and so it has remained. The second generation, Wilder’s son Austin, joined the company in the late 1920s and initiated changes to the company that expanded the course of its business. Austin developed a fine china dinnerware that could be manufactured in the United States. He built a manufacturing plant in Antioch and moved the company to this location. The company introduced a set of white china in 1937. The pattern is described by the company as “a warm white pattern, with graceful shapes, lightness, and delicacy and finished with a brilliant glaze.” This pattern has stood the test of time as it is still popular today. With the outbreak of World War II, many manufacturing plants were forced to close due to rationing of supplies many of which were being used by the military. Other companies obtained government contracts and worked to support the war effort. Pickard successfully bid on a contract to supply gravy boats for the Navy. While these clunky gravy boats were a far different product than the fine china Pickard was known for producing, it allowed the company to remain open and its people employed. The company continued to grow after the war. In the 1966s Pete Pickard became the third generation to run the company. Decorative plates on various subjects including art reproductions, a wildlife series, a series depicting a mother’s love, and gems of nature were just some of the

plates that were collected by the public. In 1989 a bowl, which celebrated the bicentennial of the United States Presidency, was produced. According to Pickard’s website, the first order for the presidential bowl was placed personally by President George Bush. With Pete’s retirement in 1994, his brother-in-law Eben Morgan assumed leadership of the company. Eben was followed by his son, Andrew Pickard Morgan who remains company president. Pickard has continued to amass awards for their fine work. They have been named Best Manufacturer of Limited Editions by the National Association of Limited Edition Dealers four times. The Bradford Exchange has awarded Pickard The Plate of the Year award on three occasions, the most for any single manufacturer. They have also been the recipients of the Best Manufacturer of Limited Editions by readers of Plate Collector Magazine for seven consecutive years.

the official china to be used in foreign embassies and diplomatic missions throughout the world. The design is an embossed border of stars and stripes and a reproduction of the Great Seal of the United States. Pickard China is also being used on Air Force One, Blair House and the Presidential retreat, Camp David. Major hotel chains including Hilton, Sheraton, and Marriott, as well as Gracie Mansion in New York, the United Nations, Royalty in England and the King of Saudi Arabia have made Pickard their choice for their fine china. Being chosen to produce the official Presidential State China is an honor and Pickard has twice been so honored. In 2009 First Lady Laura Bush ordered 75 place settings of china from Pickard to be used in the private residence at the White House. The cost of $75,000 was paid by the White House Historical Society. Last May the White House introduced the new Obama State China that is to be used for official state dinners. The new china was officially unveiled at a dinner hosted by President Obama and his wife Summer 2016

There is also a Pickard bowl for the family dog. The china is provided by private funds not by taxpayer money and will remain at the White House when President Obama’s term ends.

Enjoy the summer CHAIN O’LAKES STATE PARK HAS IT ALL Located in the heart of Illinois’ largest concentration of natural lakes, Chain O’Lakes State Park is a wateroriented recreation area with outstanding opportunities for boaters, anglers and skiers. The park borders three natural lakes – Grass, Marie and Nippersink – and the Fox River that connects the other seven lakes (Bluff, Fox, Pistakee, Channel, Petite, Catherine and Redhead) that make up the Chain. In addition, the park contains a 44-acre lake within its boundaries. The 2,793-acre state park and adjoining 3,230-acre conservation area are located in the northeastern corner of Illinois in both McHenry and Lake counties. The park is 60 miles northwest of Chicago, 20 miles west of Lake Michigan and only four miles south of the Illinois/Wisconsin border. With nearly 6,500 acres of water and 488 miles of shoreline on the chain, Chain O’Lakes State Park is the heart of water wonderland. Chain O’Lakes State Park is open every day except Christmas. Summer hours, April 1 through Oct. 31, are 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. During the winter the park is open from 8 a.m. until sunset.

The park is closed for all activities except hunting from the beginning of November through mid-December. Hunting is by registration only. Turner Lake Nature Preserve About 80 acres within the park have been set aside as a nature preserve to protect a segment of the park’s bog environment and the unique plants associated with the area. The land making up Chain O’Lakes State Park is chiefly fresh waterbog over deep peat deposits. The river bluff areas and gently sloping morainal hills rise to 200 feet, and were deposited by Illinois’ last glacier. Chain O’Lakes has a mixture of oak and hickory hardwood timber. The park also contains cherry, elm, birch, sumac and spruce with rich colors that attract numerous visitors each fall, plus some scattered pine plantings. Nature lovers will find a rich assortment of wildflowers in the spring, summer and fall. Grass Lake once was almost entirely covered with American Lotus each summer, and attracted great crowds including tour boats, annually. The lake Catch all the

still contains some areas of lotus. Two hundred acres of restored native prairie provide nesting habitat for grassland bird species. Some of the wildlife you are likely to encounter within the park are white-tailed deer, rabbits, ground squirrels, chipmunks, mink, opossum, skunks, raccoons, gophers, fox, badgers, beaver, coyotes, and groundhogs. A check-list of the nearly 200 birds that have been identified in the park is available at the park office. History of the area The Chain O’Lakes area was inhabited by central Algonquian Tribes when Europeans first arrived in the Mid-1600’s. The predominant tribes in the region at that time were the Miami, Mascouten and Potawatomi. These Native American groups led a semi-mobile lifestyle and grew corn, hunted, fished and gathered wild plant foods. Joliet and Marquette passed through what today is Chain O’Lakes State Park in 1673, as they traveled the Fox River during their Illinois explorations. French trappers and traders were the first Europeans to explore the area. The first European settlement was at Fort Hill, near Summer 2016

Mundelein, a large mound rising out of the prairie, formerly a lookout point for the Indians. Chain O’Lakes became a state park in 1945, when the State of Illinois made an initial purchase of 840 acres. In the 1930s a Civilian Conservation Corps camp became the Chain O’Lakes Conservation Area. This land was incorporated into the state park in 1957. The farm at the park was purchased by the Department of Conservation in 1969. The property was originally owned by the Stevens family, farmers who received the land under a land grant in 1843. Camping The park has Class A-Premium areas (Honey Suckle Hollow and Fox Den) with a total of 151 sites for each per night; three Class B-Premium camp areas (Turner Lake South, Prairie View and Mud Lake East) with a combined total of 87 sites for each per night; and one youth group camp area (Mud Lake West) for 150 youths, fee per person minimum per night. Maximum stay for campsites is 14 nights in a 30-day period. A responsible adult (18 years of age or older) acquiring a permit must have a camp shelter and set up at the time of registration. All campers must have a permit and also bring their own firewood, no one is allowed to pick up wood in the park. Alcohol is prohibited in the campgrounds. For the novice camper, Chain O’Lakes has one RentA-Camp unit available. The campsite comes with a tent, cots, fire extinguisher, light, broom, dustpan, charcoal grill, fire ring and picnic table. No dogs or other pets are allowed at tent site. A maximum of eight people may rent the tent, the cost for tent rental is $32. A $5 non-refundable reservation fee is required.

Renaissance IN MODERN TIMES Faire offers immersion in historical fun Sandra Landen Machaj

BY CORRESPONDENT

In the year 1574, the Port of Bristol is astir with excitement at the impending visit of Queen Elizabeth I, her Royal Highness, and ruler of the kingdom. Repairs were made throughout the city

and new paint on the buildings, allowed the city to shine. Everyone was busy. The women of the community visited their favorite seamstress to order lovely new gowns befitting a visit from the queen. This was followed by a visit to their favorite jeweler to pick the jewels, which would make their outfit exquisitely unique. The knights polished their armor and were certain that their horses were appropriately groomed to make them spectacular as they participate in the jousting tournament. On a warm, sunny Saturday morning, we entered the Bristol Renaissance Faire along with many other visitors and immediately joined the spirit of the 1500s. Surprising to me was that not only were the cast members dressed in the style of Catch all the

1574, but also many of the visitors came dressed for the times. We were met by Julie McMillin, publicity and social media director for the faire dressed as all members of the faire in her period dress. After greeting us warmly in her English accent, she shared some information about the dress of the day. “Women of the time were required to wear a hat while in public and their gowns were long enough to cover their ankles. You can only see the tips of the toes on their shoes – no ankles can be seen, ” she said. As she led us through the city, back towards the jousting arena, she recounted the history of the faire. It began in 1972 when Richard and Bonnie Shapiro founded a four-weekend event known as King Richard’s Faire based on a fictional King Richard. It did incorporate a generically

historic view of life in the medieval times. Through the 1970s and 1980s the faire added fantasy-based elements that included trolls, elves and wizard battles. The Renaissance Entertainment Corporation purchased the faire from the Shapiros in 1989 and moved it across the Illinois-Wisconsin border to Bristol. Changes were made including replacing the mythical monarch with Elizabeth I of England, producing more authentic costumes to represent the time which was then set as 1574. Overall the Faire became more historically correct. Feast for the eyes Wandering through the Faire, there is much to attract both the eye and ear. Musical parades meander through the street, groups heralding the arrival of her majesty and citizens of Bristol gathering in the parks of this fictional community. Food is abundant as various stands offer traditional dishes including mushroom bangers (sausages), fish and chips, Cornish pasties, and turkey legs, which seem to be a favorite of young and old. Cheese filled fritters are another favorite of the Faire. One group of visitors claim they come each year just to enjoy the fritters filled with rich creamy melted cheese and served with a choice of barbecue or honey mustard dip. Meals are topped off with scones, strawberry filled crepes or gelato. Just as in Merry Old England, beer stands are easily found where barmaids serve up your brew. For those who enjoy a “pint or two,” the R-rated Pub crawl will put you into the loud and lusty spirit of the medieval days. There is a charge for the Pub Crawl and it is open only to adults. The most popular non-alcoholic drink reminiscent of 1574 is the sarsaparilla, which is also the best bargain of the faire at $1 a cup. Each year, according to McMillin, new attractions are added to the faire. This season it is the Children’s Kingdom. On the castle stage, Queen Elizabeth I can often be seen knighting visiting children. Family friendly performances are held on this stage throughout the day. Kid-friendly activities are found throughout this section and an airconditioned rest area is available, including an area for nursing mothers. Knights in armor The jousting arena comes alive as time for the tournament arrives. Here knights in their well-polished armor mount their steeds for a competitive showing of skills. Competing against each other, they strive to become the top knight of the queen’s brigade. The knights with feathered plumes attached to their helmets sit on their horses displaying their colors. The horses speed across the arena as the knight extricates a small ring from a pole with his sword as he passes by. In later rounds the knights attempt to topple each other from their horses. With 16 entertainment stages featuring a variety of performances and nonstop music in the air and feats of daring, visitors are entertained throughout the day. A visit is a chance to leave the electronic devices in the 21st century and bring the family back in time to 1574. The 30 wooded acres of the faire are just west of the Interstate 94 at 12550 120th Ave., Kenosha. The faire is open each weekend from July 9 through Labor Day. Entry tickets are $24.95 for adults and $11.50 for children ages 5 to 12. A season pass is $125. Additional information is available by phone at (847) 395-7773, online at renfair.com or on Facebook.

Vegetables are nature’s original nutritional powerhouses

You’ve probably heard the chatter around how a handful of unusual foods are must-eat nutritional powerhouses – and wondered how you’ll ever get your kids to try kale or chia seeds. But you don’t have to stress over how to incorporate the latest health food fads into your family’s diet in order to get powerful nutrition. The truth is, those headline-grabbers aren’t the only nutritional powerhouses. Most vegetables are packed with vitamins and minerals, so quit worrying about how to pronounce acai or where to find seaweed in the supermarket. Instead, improve your family’s diet and save some money by growing nutrition-packed vegetables right in your own backyard. Keep these tips in mind:

Growing squash is easy

Many vegetables are easy to grow in any

home environment, whether it’s a large garden plot or pots on your patio. Leafy greens like lettuce, spinach, arugula and kale are full of nutrients and simple to grow, even for beginners. Transplants, like those offered by

Bonnie Plants, make it even easier by helping you bypass the work of starting from seed. Plus, you’ll harvest six weeks sooner.

Healthy benefits abound

Growing your own vegetables and herbs means you’ll always have a fresh supply of nutrient-rich food at home. But gardening also delivers healthful exercise, time in the fresh air, and it’s a relaxing and satisfying activity.

Good for Mother Nature

The more food you grow at home, the

fewer natural resources will be needed to grow veggies in far off places and ship them to your local supermarket. Your garden is also a great opportunity to recycle household food waste as compost. Plus, when you choose Bonnie Plants in biodegradable pots, you’re saving millions of pounds of plastic from landfills. The pots decompose, add nutrients to the soil and help prevent transplant shock.

It’s family friendly

Gardening could get your kids excited

about veggies – really! When kids participate in gardening, they take ownership of the plants they help grow. And with their hands in the dirt, they’re not on their cellphones or playing video games. Kids who grow veggies are much more likely to eat them, and make gardening an ongoing, healthy habit.

Saves money

Growing your own food means you’ll spend much less money in the produce aisle. Plus, you can grow a wide variety of vegetables and herbs, even expensive, restaurant-style “foodie” greens you may not have tried otherwise. The plant pros at Bonnie recommend these nutrient powerhouses to jumpstart your garden: • Strawberries – Just one cup of berries contains 3 grams of fiber and more than a full day’s recommended allowance of vitamin C. Phenols are potent antioxidants that work to protect the heart, fight cancer, block inflammation, and they give strawberries their red color.

• Sweet potatoes – Alpha and beta carotene give sweet potatoes their bright orange color, and your body converts these compounds into vitamin A, which is good for your eyes, bones and immune system. A half cup of sweet potato provides nearly four times the daily recommended allowance of vitamin A, plus vitamins C, B6, potassium and manganese. • Broccoli – This green nutritional giant delivers vitamins C, A and K (associated with bone health), folate and sulforaphane that helps stimulate the body’s detoxifying enzymes. • Tomatoes – Tomatoes provide vitamins A, C and B, potassium and lycopene – an important phytonutrient thought to help fight various cancers and lower cholesterol.

Anglican church carves a niche Spring Grove congregation offers outreach, worship Gail Peckler-Dziki

BY CORRESPONDENT

The little white church on the corner of Blivin and North streets in Spring Grove is home to St. Andrews, an Anglican Community. It may look small, but folks there have big hearts. The church is five years old and has nestled into the community. “We thought about what we could do – and do it right,” explained the Rev. Scott Keenan, the rector father of the parish. Once a month, church members make lunch for the Northern Illinois PADS (Providing Advocacy, Dignity, and Shelter) program. The lunches are held in a larger facility, at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Richmond. Every Thanksgiving, the church provides holiday meals for Pioneer Center group homes. St. Andrews parish also contributes food to the Helping Hands food pantry. In September, people brought breakfast food. St. Andrews has also teamed up with several other McHenry County churches to fill Manna Packs for the non-profit, Christian agency, Feed My Starving Children. The volunteers will hand-pack meals specifically formulated for malnourished children, and those meals will be shipped distribution partners. Feed My Starving Children meals have reached nearly 70 countries around the world since the group began shipping food packages in 1994. Numbers aren’t the main concern of St. Andrews, Keenan said. “We want to be a family and care for each other and the

community.” “We look for small pickets to fill,” he said. Keenan explained that St. Andrews is part of the ancient faith based on the Benedictine Community rule of life of faith, pray and service. Lisa Keenan, Scott Keenan’s wife, is an important part of the congregation and the community. “That’s the beauty of the married priesthood,” Scott Keenan commented. He works full-time at St. Andrews and said that his wife plays an important role in scheduling and making sure the priest is where he needs to be, when he needs to be there.

Foodie trends to watch

While the National Restaurant Association’s What’s Hot in 2016 chef survey highlights what’s trending on restaurant menus, additional analysis of survey results and respondents’ answers to the open-ended question, “What will be the next hot menu trend” reveal a few more food ideas to keep an eye on:

VEGGIE-CENTRIC When referring to center-of-the-plate items, that usually means proteins, but that may be changing. Fresh produce as the star of the plate is being championed by more restaurants and culinary professionals, who are serving up vegetable-centric meals that are often vegetarian without being advertised as such. And even when animal proteins are included in the dish, the veg is still the main attraction. Basically the opposite of television character Ron Swanson’s attitude toward veggies as “the food that my food eats.” SRIRACHA – THE NEW KETCHUP The red sauce in the bottle with the green top is ubiquitous, but just a few years ago, only Thai food enthusiasts were
