Successful Artist/Illustrator moves to Marengo

By Anne Eickstadt, Correspondent

aul Turnbaugh has been a professional illustrator for 40 years. “I’ve worked for advertising agencies, marketing firms and with just about every publisher. I have illustrated a version of the ‘Narnia’ series and ‘The Magic Bicycle’ series,” he tells me. Paul grew up in Moline, IL. He and his wife of 34 years, Sharon, moved to Marengo a year ago. “We’re in McHenry County to stay. The Midwest is my favorite part of the country because of the seasons.” “I have been painting, basically my whole life. I knew what I wanted to be in high school. I went to art school in California – the California College of the Arts. After college, I lived in California for four years, then moved back to Illinois, to Rolling Meadows. I started out as a freelancer and immediately did pretty well. I got married in 1981.” “I paint a lot of things in McHenry County. The rural area is one of the things I really enjoy around here,” Paul says. “I launched my website, Wild Heartland, this year. I plan on making that grow.” Paul has a ‘Heartland Treasures’ series of paintings and a ‘Marengo Sparrow’ series among others. “I received a People’s Choice award at the August, 2015, 4th Friday at the Starline Gallery event with my ‘Morning in the Heartland’ painting.” His “Good Earth” Collection contains the ‘Songbird’ series, ‘Wingspan’ series, ‘Landscape’ and ‘Wildlife’ series of paintings. His “Sportsman” Collection has fish, game bird, waterfowl , white tail deer and still life paintings. He also has “Patriot”, “Homefront” and “Warrior” Collections holding more of his gifted work. “We grew up near farms. My grandparents grew up on a farm. Agriculture really appeals to me. Suburbs have a reason for being but they have kind of lost their soul. I fantasize about the World War II generation, the ‘40s, ‘50s and ‘60s generations and rural America. I think I grew up in the wrong era. If we got to live several lifetimes, in one of them I would like to be a farmer.” “One of the things that is interesting about me is that I am the father of an Army Infantry veteran. My son’s name is Elliot James Turnbaugh. Three brothers with the last name of ‘Elliot’ fought in the Civil War. ‘Elliot’ and ‘James’ are both ancestral family names. Once my son enlisted, I became involved with several veterans groups. I got invited to many, many more.” His work can be found online at www.wildheartland.com. Some of his work can also be seen on Facebook at Wild Heartland, Painter.

Local theater receives national recognition By Samantha Fetzner Reporter

WOODSTOCK — After long, strenuous renovations to the building in 2013 and the first quarter of 2014, Woodstock’s Classic Cinemas Theater has been recognized by the National Register of Historic Places for its efforts in restoration of the dome in the main auditorium. The theater, which used to operate only four screens, has doubled in size while still main-

taining the historic integrity of a dome no one knew existed before construction. Theater owners Shirley and Willis Johnson were presented with a plaque on behalf of the theater for the restoration. The National Register of Historic Places, handled by the National Park Service, has recognized over 90,500 locations in the last 49 years. Since the National Historic Preservation Act on 1966, the program has

Local market owners retire, close business By Samantha Fetzner Reporter

WOODSTOCK — Red Barn Farm Market has served their last customers as of Sunday, Nov. 8 after 46 years in business and 51 years operating in the community. Owners Cathy Skerke, John Skerke, and Susan Klehm have opted to retire their family farm to enjoy more time with their families. The market, which was located on Route 47 south of Route 14, began as a way for the family to afford further education and grew into a lifelong business. Red Barn Farm Market has offered a large variety of farm fresh goods as well as familyfriendly activities throughout the years. In days past, they had an annual corn maze, face painting, and Halloween activities for the whole family. In recent years they also offered a haunted house, petting zoo, and appearances from various super hero characters, all while remaining a staple of farm fresh vegetables and other goods within the community. Cathy and Susan, whom are sisters, are retiring altogether. John Skerke, Cathy’s husband will still be tending to

the land. Red Barn occupies part of the Skerke’s 340 acre farm land which John will still be utilizing as a grain farming operation. The business announced their intention to close in midOctober via social media. Their biggest draw was arguably their Fall Festival, which encompassed many of their Halloween related activities alongside a hayride, pumpkin patch and delicious farm-fresh goodies. In preparation for their doors to close, the market began selling off their inventory as well as display items. Even though their business was coming to an end, the family continued to dedicate 9 to 10 hours per day through their last day of operation in the market. All of their store equipment was also available for sale as they approached the very last days of operation while their merchandise and food were discounted as deep as 75%. Red Barn will be sorely missed within not only Woodstock, but all of McHenry County! Congratulations to Susan, Cathy, and John on their many years of success and best wishes for the future.

sought to help note restoration and preservation of historic architecture throughout the country. Although the theater already held a place on the list due to its location in the historic Woodstock Square, the plaque specifically recognizes the restoration and construction efforts the Johnson’s put forth in this scenario. The theater, which opened in 1927 as ‘Miller Theater’, had not had the dome architecture exposed for quite some

Once the dome was uncovered above the drop ceiling previously in the space however, they felt it needed to be maintained and left out for patrons to admire. The dome has a place in the history of the city and has been dedicated to Harold Ramis, best known for

Annual Fall Classic 300 Auction By Anne Eickstadt Correspondent

Held each fall to coincide with the Chicagoland Coin Op & Jukebox Show in St. Charles, this auction offers 300 items that will appeal to those who are looking for special things that will add that extra “oomph” to their collection, their home or their business. “This will be one of the best auctions I’ve ever done,” Randy Donley says. “There are so many great items.” The Fall Classic 300 Auction features 300 unique, rare, extremely rare and iconic items. Unique offerings include a life size rock-‘em’sock-‘em “Boppin’ ‘Bots arena. It is perfect as an added attraction to any sports bar or game

room. Another unique item is a Swift racing hydroplane from the ‘40s, ‘50s and ‘60s. It is custom hand-lettered ‘Miss Budweiser’ and comes with a Miss Budweiser life vest and helmet. A rare Mills Violano, mechanical music machines and motion picture cameras are here as is a 1912 Brunswick bar and back bar. There are nickelodeons and antique arcade, coin-op machines. Also being offered is a vintage Cretor’s Popcorn Wagon. “Do you know how rare it is to have both a Mills and a double Mills in the same auction? That’s as scarce as hen’s teeth!” exclaims Donley. “We have some of the most

incredible items coming to this sale that we have ever seen. We have a three-disc, dome Symphonium music box. Only a handful of these are known to exist. Usually traded privately, these machines rarely come on the open market. This one is in superb condition.” ‘Iconic’ perfectly describes the ‘Back to the Future II’ DeLorean automobile and the 1926 Model T Ford in running condition. Who wouldn’t want to drive these beauties? ‘Fun’ would be the word for the Marilyn Monroe ‘Marilyn Merlot’ wine, a Chi-

cago Bears helmet golf cart and a high wheel bicycle. Another golf cart has truncated wings and looks like an airplane. Advertising, vehicles, mechanical music machines, a handsome billiard table, a brass national cash register, another bar, a steam engine, vintage bicycles, scooters…..

Winter Market begins

By Anne Eickstadt, Correspondent

he McHenry County Fairgrounds is hosting the Woodstock Farmers’ Market in Building D this season. This is a larger location than the Winter Market had last year and can hold twice as many vendors. The Farmers’ Market begins its winter season on Saturday, October 31, during a cold rain. I know I am in the right place because the red Kettle Corn tent is front and center in the parking lot. I have to cruise a bit to find a parking spot, then puddle jump my way to the door. This is normal for fall in northern Illinois so it is no big deal. Building D is full of vendors and customers and the Farmers’ Market is in full swing. The change of location from the historic Woodstock Square does not seem to have slowed down the Market in the slightest. Live music is, as usual, being played, food is available and the vendors have colorful booths set up and looking good. Fresh produce is prominent at the Market along with honey, cheese and crafts. Jaci’s Cookies has sent along a booth for the winter location so no one is deprived of their sweet treats while shopping. The Spicy Cheese at the Ludwig Farmstead Creamery booth has a kick to it. The Ludwig family has bred high pedigree, champion Holsteins since 1936, raising them with optimum health and longevity in mind. They use day-fresh milk to hand-craft cheeses in single batches. They offer a variety of cheeses to please your palette. www.ludwigfarmsteadcreamery. com or FacebookSunny Hill Farm offers honey and beeswax candles.

A fallen officer’s sad tale of betrayal and suicide Gliniewicz committed suicide to avoid facing criminal probe, officials say By Jason Arndt For McHenry County News

On the surface, Lt. Charles Joseph Gliniewicz was a military veteran, family man and well-respected officer with the Fox Lake Police Department. However, according to investigators, he was a thief and an embarrassment to the law enforcement community who committed suicide to avoid answering for his actions. In addition to the claims of embezzlement revealed Nov. 4, the Associated Press reported Thursday that Gliniewicz attempted to arrange for the killing of the new village administrator whom he feared would discover his illegal actions. The AP report, quoting an official with he Lake County Sheriff’s Department, also said Gliniewicz in recovered text messages mentioned the possibility of “planting” incriminating evidence on Fox Lake Administrator Anne Marrin. The report said packets of cocaine were found in Gliniewicz’s desk, but it was not know if he was going to use the drug in an attempt to frame Marrin. Gliniewicz’s transformation from respected 30-year police veteran known as G.I. Joe to criminal was revealed in an announcement made by Commander George Filenko of Lake County Major Crimes Task Force at a press con-

ference held in Round Lake Beach Nov. 4. Gliniewicz – who died on duty Sept. 1 of what investigators say was a self-inflicted gunshot at a staged crime scene – was under scrutiny from Marrin and other village officials concerning his actions involving a local police Explorer Post. Investigators said they believe Gliniewicz became anxious about internal audits, and having seven years of misconduct exposed. “Eventually, it would have been discovered,” Filenko told reporters at the news conference. “Because regardless of the fact that Lt. Gliniewicz staged the suicide, the Village of Fox Lake begun conducting a thorough internal audit of all their assets.” The audits and proceeding investigation following his death had stunning results on the reputation of an officer who was also a leader of the police Explorer Post – a youth mentorship program geared towards promoting careers in law enforcement. As a leader of the post, Gliniewicz had financial oversight for at least seven years, and through the investigation, authorities contend the officer siphoned a five-figure amount from the program. According internal and federal audits on financial institutions, investigators concluded that Gliniewicz spent the embezzled money on personal travel, mortgage payments, a gym membership, and adult websites, among other items.

“There are no winners here,” Filenko said. “Gliniewicz committed the ultimate betrayal to the citizens he served and the entire law enforcement community.” Upon his death, the community and citizens rallied for his wife and four sons, raising money to help offset funeral expenses. Additionally, several law enforcement agencies through out the country paid their respects at the funeral held in the community, praising Gliniewicz as a hero. However, in the two months following his death, local and federal authorities investigated 6,500 text and Facebook messages containing what they say is incriminating evidence. According to the 10-page summary, there was conversation between Gliniewicz and two others regarding his concern for the new village administrator, Anne Marin, and if the Explorer program can change sponsors. Here is an excerpt from a text message exchange on March 27 (JG is Gliniewicz; the identity of LFL was not revealed): “JG: Between you and I, I'm having a great deal of problems with our new village administrator. I've had a talk with the chief and he agrees with me. Does the PD have to be the sponsor for the post? I've done some research and it not evident anywhere that a law enforcement organization has to sponsor an LE pst. In fact I've seen 3 at competitions that were sponsored by other entities, and even a FD. Thoughts??? “LFL: No you don't have to be chartered by the city.

Franks’ efforts to streamline government recognized with Transformer Award WOODSTOCK — State Rep. Jack Franks, D-Marengo, was honored as an inaugural recipient of the Transform Illinois Coalition’s State Government Transformer Award in recognition of his ongoing efforts to consolidate duplicative taxing bodies and demand greater accountability from all units of Illinois government. Franks joined DuPage County Board Chairman Dan Cronin, Carol Portman of the Taxpayer Federation of Illinois, and Lieutenant Gov. Evelyn Sanguinetti at the Transform Illinois Coalition’s conference Monday to emphasize the need for independent thinking and bipartisan cooperation to address the challenges facing the state. “With the most units of local

government of any state, the worst-funded pension systems in the country and enough former politicians in jail to fill their own cell block, Illinois is in desperate need of transformation,” Franks said. “I am truly honored to stand with Lieutenant Gov. Sanguinetti, Chairman Cronin, Carol Portman, and the Transform Illinois Coalition to recognize our successful efforts to help eliminate duplicative, inefficient units of government, and also discuss all the work that must yet be done. If all of the energy Springfield politicians spend worrying about their party and fighting for their political bosses were instead put toward serving the best interests of the people they represent, we could

applaud all 118 representatives and 59 senators as transformers.” While chairing a state commission focused on consolidating unnecessary units of local government, Franks worked closely with Cronin and Portman to enact model legislation allowing suburban taxpayers to vote to consolidate inefficient or duplicative taxing bodies. Franks passed legislation through the House earlier this year that would expand this program throughout the collar counties, and led the effort for a new law placing a moratorium on the creation of new units of local government. The Transform Illinois Coalition is a partnership of elected officials, civic organizations

and research institutions committed to political reform and efficient, accountable government. “Our property tax bills have become an ever-growing list of bureaucratic bodies reaching deeper and deeper into our pockets,” Franks said. “Bringing legislators on both sides of the aisle together to stop the expansion of government is one important first step toward truly transforming Illinois.” Franks represents the 63rd District, which includes all or parts of Alden, Greenwood, Harvard, Hebron, Johnsburg, Marengo, McCullom Lake, McHenry, Pistakee Highlands, Richmond, Ringwood, Union, Wonder Lake and Woodstock.

What do you do with your free time?

f given an extra hour or two on a Saturday afternoon, some people will go out and play a round of golf or tennis. (There’s never time for both.) Others will take a warm bath, curl up with a good book or make a fresh batch of homemade peanut butter cookies. Maybe there’s a good movie or game or “Naked and Afraid” on TV. Some (but not many) will clean out the garage. Each of these options has its own attributes, and I might choose any of them on an unencumbered Saturday, but none would be my first choice. I have a secret indulgence reserved for Saturday afternoons. Sometimes my husband joins me. When I have a moment (or two) I opt for a nap. There, I said it. I am a napper. I love (love, love) taking naps. Some Saturday mornings I wake up early just so I can schedule in a nap. I’m creative that way. I do not readily admit to my nappiness. It might make me appear lazy – sleeping in the middle of the day and all. We live in a society where productivity and action are valued.

Jill Pertler SLICES OF LIFE

(Who’s going to clean out the garage if I am on the couch napping?) Still I believe there are inherent benefits to the occasional siesta. I’m not alone. According to the National Sleep Foundation, 85 percent of mammals are polyphasic sleepers. Polyphasic sleepers snooze in short spurts, aka naps. My felines nap all the time. (They don’t call them catnaps for nothing.) If 85 percent of the animal population is doing something there has to be a good reason for it. Napping is a way to avoid predators, get through the day unscathed and stay alive. It’s pretty intelligent, really. I always knew my cats were smarter than me. Animal kingdom aside, many important and influential people throughout history were nappers. Winston Churchill,

John F. Kennedy, Napoleon, Einstein and Thomas Edison all napped – but not together. There are actual books written on the benefits of napping, but why read about the subject when you can take a real nap yourself? Scientific research shows numerous benefits to catching a few ZZZs in the afternoon. A NASA study found that short naps improve performance and alertness. According to the buzz at Buzzfeed, napping can heighten creativity, promote relaxation, enhance memory, brighten mood and lower blood pressure. We’ve all heard the expression, “You snooze you lose.” With naps, this might just be the case. Studies show that sleepy fellows reach for less high-fat, sugary foods than those walking around with bags under their eyes. That’s not all. I saved the best for last. Sleep deprivation dampens sex drive. Napping reverses the effect. This is exponentiated if you can get your significant other to nap with you. I may sleep on Saturdays, but some are taking napping to new

levels – and days of the week. There’s a growing trend that encourages short naps at work. Employers are recognizing the positive benefits of napping and allowing workers to catch a little shut-eye during the lunch hour. Some even provide napping pods and zero gravity chairs to enhance the whole experience. Gentle lighting and vibrations wake employees when it’s time to get back to work. It gives whole new meaning to the term “sleeping on the job.” I’ve always been a closet napper. Then I did some research for this column and discovered we afternoon sleepers should be loud and proud about our noontime habits. A little afternoon sleep can increase creativity, help you lose weight and boost your sex life. (Kaching!) There isn’t any pill anywhere that can do that. Counting sheep after lunch? I say count me in. Jill Pertler is an awardwinning syndicated columnist, published playwright and author. Don’t miss a slice; follow the Slices of Life page on Facebook.

The question to ask, ‘Did I enjoy today?’

t often takes a near death experience or the death of a loved one to shake us up and make us renew our determination to “really live.” Some people do change their ways and live with their priorities of love and fun as guiding forces, and some fall back into the old habits of work, television, and talking about the weather. An acquaintance of mine left this earth yesterday so I am in reflecting mode. Self-reflection is a good thing if we do something with it. Lorri was a one-legged cancer survivor comedian. I met her at an event a few years ago. We became email pals and sent each other encouragement from time to time. I was not aware the cancer had come back until this morning when I saw a posting on Facebook. In reading the posts, I learned that the state of Indiana recently created and dedicated its first ADA Canoe & Kayak launch to Lorri Kovitz. “Her determination to paddle highlighted the need for improved accessibility

for all who wish to pursue their passions. It is our hope that this facility will inspire other ADA paddling launch sites throughout the State of Indiana and beyond.” That is fabulous. It does not take two legs to paddle or to enjoy nature’s beauty. Lorri was also known for her humor and her desire to help others facing cancer to laugh and to have fun. She once wrote “Ten Reasons It’s Great to Have Only One Leg”. She made a point to enjoy life. In the end, when we look back at our life, that is a good question: Did I enjoy it? Enjoyment is the entire journey, the daily things that make life more interesting. If you live your life for that one 2-week

tomorrow different? Little things are big things. Putting your attention on what you enjoy brings more of it into your realm of experience. Maybe seeing a butterfly on your lunch break walk is an enjoyable moment. Before you hit the hay and ask “Did I enjoy today?” you will recall seeing that butterfly and it will bring a moment of peace. Moment of peace after moment of peace after moment of peace adds up to a peaceful life. If you have 51% more peace than stress, that’s all you need. And once you hit that tipping point, the odds go crazy good in your favor. A small simple self-reflection, start with one today. Your future self will thank you.

vacation every summer, what are the rest of the fifty weeks? Just getting by? That does not sound like a fun life. A happy life is nothing more than a string of happy moments. To obtain the goal of a happy life, embark on a new habit of asking before you go to bed each night: Did I enjoy today? By asking yourself that question, you start to see where your daily habits could use some fine tuning. Start anywhere. Did I enjoy my breakfast? If not, what can you do to feel better with that time and food? Did I enjoy my commute to work? If not, what can you do to make the ride to work more enjoyable? Did I enjoy my work today? Did I enjoy my dinner? Did I enjoy my evening? In asking yourself these questions, you start to pinpoint all kinds of small ways you can make your life more enjoyable, day in and day out. Because that is what life is, a string of day after day after day. If you did not enjoy today, what can you do to make

Dear Editor, I am writing to express my deep disappointment in the recent announcement that there will not be a cost of living increase for Social Security beneficiaries next year. As healthcare costs continue to rise, the strain on seniors, like me, is becoming unmanageable especially as previous COLAs have failed to keep pace. Though there is a growing movement in America to expand Social Security, next year’s lack of COLA demands immediate action. 79% of likely voters-Democrats, Republicans and Independents support expanding Social Security benefits and paying for it by asking the wealthy to pay their fair share. It is critical that Congress acts now to maintain dignity for seniors and people with disabilities by addressing the lack of a cost of living adjustment next year. People like me are counting on it.
