Deerfield, IL 60015 Fall 1990 Vol 5, No. 4 /tc/1044- tfie —The other side of Lake Wobegon— A Death in White Bear Lake is a book about an “All American City.” This^ is a hard story to discuss because it deals with a small boy savagely beaten to death by ftis mother — a child abuser. But it is an im­ portant book on several levels and for ver^ serious reasons. The homicide took place in 1965 but because people closed their hearts and minds to the evil around them, the legal system sputtered and faltered and the case was filed away for twenty-two years. In 1987, through an unlikely series of events, a group of everyday people did some very extraordinary things to see that this murder would not go unpunished. A courageous medical examiner re­ opened the files, a determined police force ^J3uilt a strong charge, and a dedicated legal ^A'stem pressed the trial to a just conclu^^ion. These brave and outraged people remembered an innocent little boy and demanded justice, unlike so many who did not speak in 1965, or denied, or lied, or intimated, or covered up. The real question raised by this book is: what would you or I have done? Would we look away, harden our hearts, refuse to get involved to protect ourselves? After twentytwo years would we still turn away? Would we remember? Would we have the courage to stand against evil? If not, how would we choose to be remembered? The message is clear — if this could happen to an “All American City” it can happen anywhere. If they could do it, we could do it. Inertia and failure to act are the real unknowns; how easy it is to be brave if you are never put to the test. The author, Barry Siegel, merits great praise for outstanding reporting. This haunting book has an amazing texture, depth, and feel for time and place. John Donne wrote that... “no man is an island,” a phrase that has a special meaning to me because the crib side doctor who saw a ^Meath by child abuse and turned aside was community stalwart in White Bear Lake — my home town — and the attending physician at my father’s death. Jack Alan Hicks Administrative Librarian Changes to Serve You Better, Faster • • • The popular new books are wanted by so many; this often means long waits for the best sellers. We are trying to deal with this problem by shortening loan periods for new fiction books and by ordering more copies faster. Beginning Sept. 4, all new fiction books will have one week loan periods until they are six months old. This should provide a faster turnaround time for the next person. Books can be renewed by phone or in person if they are not overdue and there is no waiting list. While we cannot quickly satisfy 60 re­ quests for Scott Turow’s “Burden of Proof,” we are anticipating demand for popular authors by using a new Fast Track ordering system. It promises speedy delivery of multiple copies of projected best sellers. Some of these are Belva Plain’s “Harvest”, Dick Francis’s “Long Shot” and Sidney Sheldon’s “Memories of Midnight”. All new books will stay on the NEW BOOK SHELVES for one year — nonfic- tion by the fireplace, fiction on the new stacks in the Fiction/Quiet Room. To keep the collection current, librarians are busy with a major weeding (housecleaning) project. Outdated and damaged books are removed from the col­ lection, and some are placed on the ongoing “for sale” carts. Large Print Books, Adult Basic Readers, Short Story Collections, and Circulating Paperbacks are now next to the new fiction. For reading suggestions, check our new guides to good reading. These include lists of new Deerfield books; “Bestsellers” which include author close ups, plot sum­ maries, what the critics say, and related must reads; Best books of ’88 & ’89, and lists of Techno Thrillers, Traditional Romances, Faraway Places, Pigskin Peo­ ple, Spies, etc. On display are also “Modern Fantasy: 100 Best Novels,” a book listing the best crime and mystery books, “Sequels: A Guide to Reading in Series”, American Best Sellers, and other books offering reading suggestions. The five story Illinois State Library building was dedicated on June 20. It faces and is designed to be compatible with the architecture of the 102 year old State Capitol building. The library houses the state’s 4.7 million volumes, and state and federal documents. In the planning stages for 20 years, the project became a reality when it received $36 million as part of the “Building Illinois” program. The library’s resources may be borrowed by using a library card issued by any Illinois public library. At the dedication of the State Library building in Springfield, Deerfield Librarians Baiba Rosenkranz, far left, and Sally Brickman, flank Secretary of State/State Librarian/Gubernatorial candidate, Jim Edgar, with Elliott Kanner, far right (Deerfield resident & North Suburban Library System administrator).

Deerfiled. IL 60015 the '& 72eA& Two things happened recently that have made me unusually sensitive to people’s reading levels and skills-and their ge neral lack of knowledge about our society. The first was the PBS Civil War television series-which was engrossing and disappointing to me. As a lifelong Civil'War junkie I was overjoyed by a vastly entertain­ ing program. But it did not clarify, give sequence or add coherence to the Civil War. Events that happened simultaneous­ ly were treated as if they happened two years apart. Many viewers do not know which side William T. Sherman was on, or that Grant captured Vicksburg the same day as Gettysburg-yet paroled his 10,000 prisoners back into the Confederacy. What we need in this electronic age is in­ formation clarification-not mystification. The other eye opener was one of the most effective and intelligent people I have ever known-a naturalized U.S. citizen^feisked me to compile a list of books that ^^vould fill in what he perceives as gaps in his overall knowledge of our country, and raise his consciousness about items of cultural literacy. The idea of a general paucity of cultural knowledge has been a hotly debated topic among social scientists for several years. I understand that a specialized, techni­ cal education can definitely lead to deficiencies in general knowledge, and that being raised in a very different culture may skew your interpretations of American traditions. As a Librarian, I see technical education and cultural diversity as two of the key elements that have made America a great society. A lack of reading is a major problem that confronts us today. Television, videos, ten second sound bites and fifteen minutes of celebrity, do not impart the same cul­ tural identity and awareness-of who we are and how we got that way-as effectively as reading. Television is the primary way most people get the news and their other information. The book I am recommending this month is Who Reads Literature? by Nicholas Zill and Marianne Winglee. This provoking analysis makes it clear that there ^^are very large numbers of citizens who canMkot read, and even larger numbers of those who can but will not read. This malaise is serious and will negatively affect our fu­ ture. Jack Alan Hicks Administrative Librarian Shelby Yastrow - Deerfield’s Own Author Start the new year right by welcoming Deerfield's own-corporate lawyer Shelby Yastrow and best selling author of Undue Influence on Tuesday evening, January 8 at 7:30 p.m. Yastrow, whose new "Lite Lawyer novel is one of the snappiest courtroom capers yet" (Kirkus Reviews), was the sub­ ject of a front page/fealure story in North Shore magazine. His novel has hit the Chicago best seller list and is being considered for a movie. A gifted storyteller, he will share with us why he wrote this "yarn spinning" novel, how he got it published and what he tried to ac­ complish. Our witty and personable neighbor will be feted at an autograph reception following his talk. Make reserva­ tions now! Of Importance to You Deerfield Library has received a per capita grant of $17,432.00 from the Il­ linois State Library. Slate regulations require that this money be dedicated to projects that expand or enhance our services. The money will be used to sponsor adult programs, fund the newsletter and purchase foreign lan­ guage books. If you do not have your library card with you to check out library materials, you must have some form of identification. All new adult fiction of less than 400 pages now circulates for one week. A faster turnaround time should satisfy patrons’ desire to obtain new books. If there is no one waiting to read the book and the book is not overdue, it may be renewed for seven days. Renewals may be in person or by telephone. After six months, new adult fiction is loaned for three weeks. Just like the video store: please remember to rewind your library videotapes before returning them. Do not place videos in the book drop; bring them in. Deerfield cardholders, over 18 years of age, may borrow up to 4 videos for three days, at a cost of $1 per video; overdue videos are $2 a day. Deerfield Author Shelby Yastrow DEERFIELD LIBRARY SALUTES THE PAST A series of exhibits saluting the history of Deerfield and the State of Illinois are featured at the library during the winter months. The Deerfield Historical Society has donated two exhibits: 1) a focus on the history of our town (Nov.-Dee.) and 2) Deerfield area architecture (Jan.).

A FEW HINTS ON USE OF THE LIBRARY’S ONLINE CATALOG The library’s or.iine public catalog, rep­ resents holdings of books, sound recordings, and videos, not magazines or newspapers. The online catalog contains the collections of Skokie, Morton Grove, and Waukegan Libraries as well as Deer­ field. You can limit your search to Deerfield by typing in LIB either as a separate com­ mand or as part of another command: for example, LIB/SUB/COOKERY. The command ALL will resume the search of all four libraries’ collections. Consult the red "quick subject guide to shelf location" at each terminal. This book helps you to find the right words to type into the computer for a subject search. Example: You won’t find a list of books on GREEK MYTHOLOGY by searching under that heading in the subject files of the computer. But, if you look under "GREEK MYTHOLOGY" in the red subject book near the terminal, the book will tell you to type in "MYTHOLOGY, GREEK" in­ stead. If you just want to browse the library in a certain nonfiction area, the red book also leads you to call numbers associated with specific subject headings. If you have trouble searching the com­ puter, ask the Reference Librarian for help! Income Tax Assistance At Library Beginning February 5, free income tax advice will be offered in the library’s upstairs meeting room. The service will be available every Tuesday and Friday from 1 to 4 p.m. through April 12. This program is co-sponsored by the American Association of Retired Persons and the IRS. No ap­ pointment is necessary, but please brmg last year’s return.

ENRICH YOUR LIFE.....ATDEERFIELD PUBLIC LIBRARY With this spring newsletter, we introduce the new Deerfield Library logo. The logo, seen above on our new masthead, depicts a book whose spine and pages form the shape of a lotus blossom, the ancient symbol of self-creation. This identifying symbol, represents self enrichment through knowledge. The Library of Congress has designated 1991 the Year of the Lifetime Reader, so we celebrate LIFE and the connection between our materials and services and your daily lives. With our collections, we answer questions: What to name the new baby? A definition of ulcers and recipes for this condition? ^^low to take minutes at a business meeting? How to spell a ^Bvord, plan a wedding, make a business plan, give a value to Grandma’s vase, string some beads? We help you to learn, grow, solve, laugh, feel and cope. We enrich your life! BOOKS GIVE US WINGS A year ago I wrote in this column about the self-collapse of the Berlin Wall and the effect world-wide peace would have on genre fiction. I wrote a year too early. The war in the Middle East and the repression in Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia have a greater potential for disaster than any we have faced as a nation in the last forty years. I back our troops in the Persian Gulf and President Bush. I also respect those of us who choose to oppose this war. The U.S. Constitution guarantees freedom of speech-enabling citizens to voice opposi­ tion to governmental policy. About this right we should be resolute and justly proud. As a former Staff Sergeant in the 8th Infantry Division, I have strong feelings about the safety of our boys overseas. A concern closer to home are the racial and ethnic epithets that are heard to describe Middle Eastern peoples. These stereotypes must be rejected by all of us. I am impressed with President Bush when he speaks of a new world order emerging from this catastrophe. Hopefully, this will mean: a permanent rule of Inter­ national Law, a rejection of terrorism as an element of politics, a refusal to arm any tyrant with modern weapons, and an American foreign policy that rises above the failed concepts that have equated our friends as our enemy’s enemy. Can the epic Spring of 1990 still bloom into a world of peace? The book I am recommending this month is The Prize: The Epic Quest for Oil, Money, and Power by Daniel Yergin. Awash in a sea of oil this timely history traces man’s grasping for oil: the per­ sonalities, nationalism, and the drive for power and wealth that have created and exacerbated our current dilemma. **xs+^*s£*^t < YEAR OF THE LIFETIME READER 1991 Jack Alan Hicks Administrative Librarian �Enrich your life Adult Programs Unless noted allprograms arefree, but reser­ vations are requested.

You can now hear your favorite music on cassette or compact disc or listen to books on tape in the library. To do this, select your audio, check it out, ask for head­ phones, and leave an i.d. at the Circulation Desk. On April, 2 a local election will be held for two Deerfield library trustee positions. ^|wo incumbents, Sue Benn and Tony ^^abato, will run for re-election. Both 20 year residents of Deerfield, they have each had a number of years’ experience at board posts. Sabato has been board treasurer and Benn has served on committees of the seven member board. Also active in other Deerfield community activities, they are strong users and supporters of the library. The Library Board meets monthly, and elected members each serve six year terms. Their responsibilities include determining basic library policy, delegating administrative authority to the director, and overseeing all major expenditures. ■ It now costs 30 cents to reserve a Deer­ field book, due to the rise in postal rates; you are notified by mail when your book is in. When books are re­ quested from other libraries, there is no charge; you are notified by telephone. ■ Missing books cause the library lots of problems. The book you don(t return is the book the next person needs. TRUTH STRANGER THAN FICTION? ■ It is a true axiom that when times get tough, people use the library more. The first month of 1991, adult refer­ ence questions increased 19 9c from last year. January 1990: 1,716 ques­ tions answered. January 1991:2,047. The library has just received a new fic­ tion book about air combat in the Persian Gulf, First Air by Michael Skinner. Skinner, a former CNN writer, has published a tech­ no thriller whose images beam at us on the evening news. The political scenario is dif­ ferent, but its depiction of modern war, as it could happen (already has) in the Persian is eerily coincidental. ■ Friends of the Library group is becom­ ing active and vital. For $5 a year you can join. Applications at front desk. AND THE WINNERS IN THE CHILDREN’S CATEGORY ARE... CALLING OUT OF TOWN? Deerfield Library has always housed a variety of current out of town (USA) telephone directories. Further, in the past each North Suburban Public Library has "specialized" in a different state, in a cooperative sharing project. (Deerfield’s "state" is Arizona.) Now, public libraries are no longer able to receive a large variety of free city telephone books. Since costs will be levied, we are placing a survey form on each telephone directory to determine use pat­ terns and the most needed phone books. Please continue to ask the reference librarians for assistance with the out of state directories. The telephone directory issue has become a very complicated one for libraries. 1991 Caldecott Award for outstanding 1990 U.S. picture book: Black and White, written and illustrated by David Macauley.

Graham Greene died April 3,1991, but as "LeMonde" said the next day, "Graham Greene will never die... Greene has always been a man at the dizzying brink of things where faith wavers, spies become double agents, love turns to sadism, and anything can happen." No author I can think of wrote encom­ passing narrative characterizations like Greene. His novels were defined by charac­ ters and values (or lack of values) rather than plot. Greene was a master at describing time and place and drawing the reader straight into the dark and perverse side of a world where good and evil are exposed in every character. No author identified so clearly the underclass the world - what he termed "the torturable 'ass." No author understood the gulf be­ tween rich and poor, powerful and powerless Greene did. To me his themes were broad and universal - not confined to, yet focused on, healing, reconciliation and forgiveness. Greene penned these ideas in an outline of reverses: a world of betrayal, powerlessness, pain, and evil with the only redeeming dimension in life being the spiritual one. In The Power and the Glory he presents us with a novel of persecution and despair, yet it is a book that completely defines the spiritual side of man’s nature - regardless of religious tradition. Many books hold special moments for us, and we revisit them to regain those pleasures, or touch those moments. All readers have their favorite books - my favorites are almost all Graham Greene. The books I am recom­ mending are: Brighton Rock, The Comedians, The Heart of the Matter, The Honorary Consul, Our Man in Havana, The Power and the Glory, and The Quiet American. There are so many others I suggest you browse the shelves and read any and all of them. I will discuss The Power and the ory in the library’s fall book discussion.

Sr rr ""r l0-=- n �Non Resident Card Fees Increase Residents of incorporated Deerfield are entitled to free library cards. Non-residents who want a Deerfield card may purchase a ^m11 privileges non-resident library card for ^el50. This fee is set by the State and determined by a special formula related to residents’ lax fees. The non-resident card fee was formerly $125.00. The boundaries of service for Deerfield Library are the same as those of the village limits - NOT related to U.S. Post office ZIP codes or West Deerfield Township limits. With a Deerfield card you can borrow from any of North Suburban Libraries’ public libraries. (This may not include videos). F. Y.l. Fines... As of May 1, overdue fines were raised from five to ten cents per day. A significant line item in the budget, fines have not been al­ tered in 15 years. The increase also brings fines in line with what neigh­ boring libraries charge. Video overdue fines remain $2.00 a day. Since others may be waiting for the materials you have, we appreciate prompt returns. Reminder: If you lose or damage library books, there is a non refundable cost of the item plus a processing fee of $5.00. Un­ returned video: replacement cost, plus $20 processing fee. A new brochure, "A Guide to Library Services" is now at the Cir­ culation Desk. This brochure was made possible by a donation from the Friends of the Deerfield Library. Donations welcome... The Refer­ ence Department would appreciate donations of Consumer Reports magazines from the last five years. Due to heavy use, the library’s copies deteriorate quickly. With the cost of books spiraling, (average costs: nonfiction, $40 and fiction, $25) the library appreciates book donations, including paper­ backs, in good condition. The Townley Club of Deerfield generously donated $250 to replenish the library’s classics. We also thank those who have donated books, magazines and annual reports. Exhibits at the entrance to the library are changed monthly. We welcome your collections of inter­ est, with artifacts, if they relate to library books.________________ Check It Out i Reading Suggestions ADULT REFERENCE Doing Business in Chicago by Jeffrey Levine.

Some "HOT" survey statistics compiled from 500 completed surveys. The surveys were in the Spring Neivsletter mailed to all Deerfield resi­ dents. • 89.5% of respondents use the library at least once a month. • 46.8% of you are here weekly! • 75.5% of households use the library for special projects: i.e., starting a business, writing a resume, researching a purchase, building projects, vacation plans, doll and coin collections, etc. • Current fiction is exceedingly popular: 81.4% use this collec­ tion. • The staff is friendly and helpful according to 91.9% of those who use the library. • 72.8% of residents believe that the meeting rooms of the library play an important role; 92.9% want educational programs con­ tinued. Library Receives Gift of Piano The library has received a dona­ tion of a Kimball piano, the gift of Deerfield resident Esther B. Massover. We have wanted and needed a piano for many years, but the cost of such a fine ^ w. instrument has __ been reach. It shall I much J joy to community Si in future Q I ▼ years. Q • 99.1% of library users have bor­ rowed videotapes! • The bottom line is that 87.8% come to the library because it offers ser­ vices you enjoy! VOL. 6, NO. 4 A profile of the average Deerfield resident tells us that you are edu­ cated beyond college, your age is between 36 - 40 and your income, between $76,000 - $90,000. Do you realize that 95.4% of those receiving this newsletter read it regularly? Across the Librarian 's Desfci Edward R. Murrow described working in public life as a slippery slope. Having worked in public ser­ vice, for twenty years, I guess I would agree. I entered the library profession because of a lifetime interest in books and reading. What I found, of course, is that libraries, like everything else in life, are service industries where many, many people touch and enrich your life. The first project I was given when I came to Deerfield was to build a pup­ pet theater and do puppet shows for the public. I remember that summer very well, though many of the children and adults involved have since faded from memory. One little boy stands out clearly: a shock of red hair atop a face full of freckles. The relationship and friend­ ship that grew out of that summer of puppets came to include his parents and my family. The main product of a town like Deerfield is the young peo­ ple who grow up here but move else­ where once they are educated and grown. The everyday tragedy is that you seldom get to see them again. I followed this young man's educa­ tion and career as he moved from Deerfield to Urbana to Connecticut to New York, and then I lost track of him, as his parents moved away. The fond memories would come back now and then but they belonged to a period of 20 years ago. Last month I was in my office with a Library Trustee talking about the benefits of the Deerfield Library to our residents. This discussion took on several dimensions such as education, lifetime learning, and recreation. My assistant buzzed on my intercom that a young man was here to see me between planes at O'Hare and could he break up my meeting? The red hair was instantly recognizable. Well, to make a long story short, David had come to tell me what the Library had meant to him, how he had an edge over his classmates at Deerfield, University of Illinois and now at the Tokyo Bank where he is a Vice President. The reunion was nec­ essarily short but extremely heartfelt on both sides. I later got a call from New York to confirm several of the points he had made with me about the value of the Library in our com­ munity. "The library gives me the world," is how he put it. A sublime moment for an old reference librarian. "How'd you get him to do that?" was what my Trustee wanted to know. Some of us are just lucky. u — Jack Alan Hicks Administrative Librarian �ADULT PROGRAMS Programs are free, but reservations are requested.

Each article description contains the headline of the story, the name New Officers Elected to Board Across the Librarian s Desbi Librarians are inextricably bound to books in their personal and professional lives, yet it is seldom that librarians are writers, or get to see a book in an early stage of production. This is especially true of reference books, since they are generally contract work done by very large publishers. Five or six reference book publishers dominate the field: Bowker, Gale, Wilson, Britannica, Dun and Bradstreet, and Standard and Poors. It is very unusual for an author or publisher to create a reference book that is new in concept, brilliant in organiza­ tion, with a scope and depth that ex­ of the publication, author, pages and length.

Reference books by their very nature are cold and evolu­ tionary in their own way, written by professional writers who are more orga­ nizers and indexers than they are au­ thors.

Two Years Young In late 1989 a handful of community members organized Deerfield’s Friends of the Library. Over the past 24 months supportive, civic-minded village residents have swelled the Friends’ membership to over 40. With everyone’s contributions of time and energy, the Friends have been successful in carrying out its mission through fundraising events, volunteer support and education programs. May 1990 — Art Auction To make room for book shelves, the Library had to remove its display of art prints and end the service of loaning them. The Friends held an auction of the 175 prints as its first official fundraising event. October 1990 — Agatha Christie Centennial Friends sponsored a community program to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Agatha Christie. Preceding the lecture, the Friends hosted an authentic English tea. January 1991 — Library support Friends members volunteered to help at the Library-sponsored lecture and book sign­ ing for Shelby Yastrow, author of Undue Influence. April 1991 — Children’s Program Friends sponsored a children’s folk song fest and lively hoe down featuring Jenny Armstrong. July 1991 — Family Days Friends provided volunteers to help Library staff distribute lemonade during the 4th of July activities. August 1991 — Trunk Sale Community members are invited to fill their cars with all their “treasures” and sell them in the Library parking lot. The trunk sale is an annual fundraiser for the Friends who rent the Library’s parking spaces to sellers. Into the Future January 1992 — Children’s Program Punch and Judy come to Deerfield. (See this issue’s calendar.)

Written from the heart, with professional experience, this book will become a classic — used by parents, students, librarians and counselors alike. The K & W Guide fills a need and answers questions that no other book does. This is exceptional reference writing. I was, and still am, astonished by their effort. I have never seen a refer­ ence book in its first edition that has the content, scope, authority, organi­ zation and coverage that this book has. That two first-time authors could produce a book this comprehensive and discriminating is truly an accom­ plishment. When the authors showed me the book for the first time, I sus- pect they had an idea of just how out­ standing it is. Now we all know. Library Journal, the flagship of library magazines, has just given the book a starred review — the highest they give. A rave, it compares the K& W Guide to Lovejoy's Guide and finds it a superior book. I am sure it will be a standard reference book used in every library in this country. I am also sure that the authors will reap the re­ ward and recognition they deserve. The best part is that the parents and stu­ dents with learning disabilities will find the reassurance, support, hope and guidance they need. Well done, Imy and Mary Beth!

Board presi­ dent Sue Benn said, “She has been a loyal and active member for many years and will be sorely missed” Mrs. Sharpe chaired the library’s building committee for all the years of library renova­ tion. She came on the board to fill the unexpired term of Wilbur Page and thereafter was elected and re-elected. Sharpe’s unex­ pired term can be filled by board appointment until the 2001 vil­ lage election. Anyone interested in this temporary vacancy may contact the library business office. 1 To provide faster, better and more contemporary computer services, the library will be leaving the computer consortium of Morton Grove, Skokie and Waukegan. This change presents new challenges but more importantly will free Deerfield of the restrictions and impediments of the consortium. This will allow us to present more up-to-date computer services and access at higher speeds. It should permit wider access to books and materi­ als. Specifically, the library will offer more web-based products, easier home and remote access, better catalog access and faster and cleaner telecommunications. There will be more service outlets and more terminals offering modem services at high speed. We are in the process of signing a contract with epixtech, a Provo, Utah based firm, for the next computer system which should be operational before May, 2001. This system will supply all the familiar, easy-to-use services such as catalog searching, telephone renewal, check out and circulation functions well known to our clients, and supply a home page with links to appropriate library sites, full text magazine indexes and remote access to library resources. This system will be funded through the use of Tax Increment Financing and will not require a tax increase or bond issue. Administrative Librarian Jack Hicks said, “We have listened to our residents’ sugges­ tions and feel sure the new system will meet their needs and expectations whether they are in the library or gaining access from home.” Library board president Sue Benn feels “The public will be pleased with the high speed computers and new services; this is a real step forward in providing information and web access for the community.” □ “The Rat Pack” was among hundreds of photos taken by Deerfield’s Art Shay.

The response from the peeved musician was, “...that’s great, I only like 18th century science.” Listening recently to a golden oldies radio station I was struck by the idea that maybe popular culture is not shaped by the best a society offers but what is "remembered”— or imagined — as the best. Is this to make us comfortable with events that might have been painful? Maybe pop culture can’t stand critical scrutiny. The talky disk jockey kept up a constant patter about the songs he was playing; recounting minutiae from the rock stars’ lives, incidentals about the recording sessions, and the marvelous night he had actually met the stars in question. The guy went on and on, yakking and playing the music he claimed defined a generation. The only problem was my wife and 1 are members of that generation and that was not the music we listened to at all; in fact most of his songs were nerd anthems, or worse, just plain banal junk. Which raises the question: do we invent our past in our own image and likeness or is it just nostalgic mythmaking? Does this shield us from a harsher reality? Some of the problems are that the disk jockeys aren’t old enough to have experienced these events, or are too addled to remember them clearly. What sells and what is accepted and extolled today becomes yesterday’s top hits. This doesn’t apply to rock and roll only, but to the big band era as well—and I suspect all eras—equally. A look at any Variety Top 40 songs often reveals the oldies that are so popular today—and are supposedly reflective of the times—were not at the top of the charts, or even mainstream, at the time. The people who trade and revel in nostalgia are more affected by time and society’s bias than they are by the absolute accuracy of the memories or the quality of the product, (except in the case of Jack Benny) Recent movie lists that purport to define the “best ever” movies have been so far off the mark as to be laughable. I think any compiled list of “best” movies should only be made by people over fifty-five years old, who have actually seen the full movie in a theatre where they paid full price to see the film. Any film seen in a film class or at a film society should be instantly disqualified because this all adds up to revisionist history at its worst: pop culture peddled by pasty faced, soft handed, trendy types. These are the same people who define Stravinsky and Bartok as “modem” music even though their works are a hundred years old. Is classical music suspect as well? Is that why snobby aficionados walk out or snub modem composers? Could be. Now we all know about revisionist history, how an event will change with the telling over time, until a breakthrough historian will produce a thesis that is a direct contradiction to historical fact and reality that somehow comes to be accepted as insight. Revisionist history ought to have anoth­ er name: bad history. A recent and widespread spate of revisionist history has poured forth regard­ ing the World War II generation—even to the point of being called “...the greatest generation” by gushy writers like Tom Brokaw and Stephen Ambrose. We owe those boys a lot, but let’s not puff up reality; the vets from WWII deserve better than that—they deserve the truth, our eternal grati­ tude, and a monument in Washington, D.C. I have always wondered how that generation would have reacted to the divisive, emotionally charged, and morally ambivalent times of Viet Nam. Sometimes it is easier to do the right thing when the choices are clear cut, or in fact there are no choices. A casual glance at the Viet Nam era discloses at least a half a dozen myths or outright untruths that have grown up and thrived, perpe­ trated by well meaning revisionists, which have entered our collective conscience as reality. Which leads me back to a lighter vein, that gabby disk jockey with his comball alternative reality. We don’t need to invent an idyllic past or create fake, artificial heroes; we have them today because today are the good old days and they are good enough.

To many of us from my gen­ eration he is remembered as a very talented and creative man who, if he did not invent late night televi­ sion, certainly put his mark on it. The late night talk show hosts as personified by Jack Paar, Johnny Carson, Jay Leno, David Letterman, or Conan O’Brien owe much to Steve Allen. Their format and style is one that he invented and perfected. His talent and origi­ nality have never been equaled and his presence will be missed. A man for all seasons, he was a composer, a comedian, a writer, an actor and a serious thinker. He was a Chicago boy and his death speaks to my youth. Old timers like myself always talk of the “golden age of televi­ sion” with reverence. Whether reverence is deserved or not is beside the point. We remember it that way, and there is no way to convince us dial TV is alive and well and better than ever. I clearly remember the first television event that I ever saw—the Ezzard Charles and Jersey Joe Walcott title fight of 1948 or ‘49. continued on back page n urt',°e ---- Library Entrance Lobby Redesigned A brighter and more welcoming entrance to the library will soon be completed by architect D.F Wrobleski, who was the architect for the library’s lower level Fiction Room and Youth Services Department. Wrobleski said this was required to be in compliance with ADA standards. The original floor’s surface had become very irregular and dangerous. “This is an opportunity to install a new, light colored floor and doors to increase a sense of welcome to the library. Furthermore, the exterior concrete was cracked by winter snow melt and is being replaced with a more decorative stone and brick. Two stone planters will be installed to separate the building from the parking lot” he said. For those fond of the front lobby water fountain, a memorial to Deerfield’s Donald McCabe, be assured that it will remain; it will be redesigned a little smaller to make the library more accessible and will be set on a circular rose marble base to make it safer for traffic in and out of the library. Since the ADA required renovation, the library board took this opportunity to enhance and update the library lobby and make the entrance safer for everyone. Blumenthal Selected for Library Board Jeff Blumenthal, a Chicago native who has lived in Deerfield for 11 years has been appointed by the board from among a number of applicants to fill the unexpired term of Yvonne Sharpe. Sharpe, a board member since 1992, has moved to Riverwoods. Blumenthal, a civil litigation lawyer for Foran & Schultz, spends a great deal of time in the library, “It’s my home away from home” said Blumenthal who loves to read and often brings his wife and three children. He is a graduate of Northwestern where he majored in liberal arts and has his law degree from the University of Pennsylvania. Village manager Robert D. Franz (left) swears in Jeff Blumenthal as a new library board member. The Library will be closed: December 24,25,31 and January 1. �Morning Book Discussions in the Fiction Room Thursdays, 10:30 am ■ December 14 Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K.Rowling Rescued from the neglect of his aunt and uncle, a young boy proves himself while attending Hogwarts School for Wizards and Witches.

I watched with my Dad at a local saloon; the bartender confided to us that he had a lock on TV in my hometown, “because he got into TV on the ground floor.” I think that set had a six inch circular screen and the bar is now a parking lot. Reminds me more than a bit of today’s dot.com frenzy. So much has changed in American life in the past fifty years it is impossible to get a frame of reference or to see the scope of those changes. Certainly the younger generation has no idea what we are talking about when we use terms like “Stalin ” “cold war” or “golden age of tele­ vision." Why should they? For them man has always been on the moon, they have always had cell phones, pagers, and post-it notes. Viet Nam is a country, not an issue tearing generations apart. They have no idea what it meant to say “I Like Ike” and really love a presidential candi­ date. The young don’t know Watergate, maybe Iran-Contra and the Gulf War..... events distort­ ed by TV. In a way, television is a microcosm of the past fifty years. It started off simply, got our attention, developed a persona, went from black and white to color and took off in complexity and controversy. The first coast-to-coast broad­ casts were events everyone watched with awetelevision could span the continent. Many of us sat transfixed by Joseph Welch and Joe McCarthy. There were the first presidential debates, the moonwalk, the assassinations. At the same time TV got very shallow and compli­ cated, losing its originality in the quest for cor­ porate profit. Style and content went by the wayside and the medium was branded a “Vast Deerfield Public Library 920 Waukegan Road Deerfield, Illinois 60015 Deerfield Public Library' Jack Hicks, Administrative Librarian Library' Board Sue Benn, President David Wolff, Secretary William Seiden, Treasurer Ken Abosch Jack Anderson Jeffrey Blumenthal Sunday Mueller Library' Hours Mon.-Thurs: 9:00 am - 9:00 pm Friday: 9:00 am - 6:00 pm Saturday: 9:00 am - 5:00 pm 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm Sunday: Editor: Sally Brickman Wasteland.” Edward R. Murrow, our best TV newsman, warned that without standards televi­ sion was nothing more than “lights and wires in a box.” In many ways the real golden age of televi­ sion is now. Cable, satellite dishes, DVD, com­ puter animation, and now instant live program­ ming delay are all significant technological advances. Picture quality and program availabil­ ity are nothing short of sensational. There is something on television, cable, or dish twentyfour hours a day, seven days a week. Events that happen half a world away are instantly shown on TV as they happen. It is absolutely a techno­ logical marvel, but somehow we are poorer for it all. The media can show us events, but puerile analysts cannot tell us what the events mean or why it happened. TV reality has become, after all, a light show in a box with all the intelli­ gence and integrity of a kids video game. So the passing of Steve Allen has special poignancy for those of my generation. His talent and originality are missed; we are left with a void not met by corporate minions. Lights in a box will never challenge us, inspire us, or make us laugh. I believe the golden age of TV is now because of the stupendous technology, but I also firmly know the golden age of talent has long since passed. Jackie Gleason, Edward R. Murrow, Ernie Kovacs, Steve Allen, to name only a few, are talents we will never see again because they could never slither through the fil­ ter of the corporate sieve. I recommend Hi-Ho, Steverino! by Steve Allen for a glimpse into this American original. — Jack Alan Hicks Administrative Librarian Non Profit Org.

We were involved with bricks and mortar, computers, landscaping and elevators and still managed to add over 10,000 books, videos, audio cassettes and... new this year DVD’s and books on CD... and to serve all your information needs. Our Community where hundreds took passports behind the scenes to view each department; music, beanie baby prizes and food were pop­ ular! The Bristol Renaissance Faire visited us in May, taking us back to the 16th century as Queen Elizabeth Tudor knighted the children, townspeople picnicked on the lawn and music and dancing provided a leisurely contrast to our 21st century. Programs We held 61 adult programs, including several co-partnered with the Deerfield Fine Arts Commission, Deerfield Area Historical Society, U.S. Foreign Policy Association and North Suburban Library System. We offered income tax assistance, flu shots, voter registration, free July 4 lemonade, Ravinia passes, the 4th annual Rosemary Sazonoff Creative Writing Contest, 15 classes on using the Internet and monthly Librarian in the Lobby, our “in person suggestion box”. We served Deerfield schools and students with our annual Student Government Day, where we learn along with our teens, and with library instruction for junior high students. Youth Services Reading Roundup has been a rousing success for 2-8th graders, and Exploring Art Through Literature workshops are the talk of the town. Crafts and storytime are popular Family Fun Night activities. Library visitors from the Chinese Academy of Sciences said, “If only we had something like this for our children in China!” Other projects finalized this year are lobby and entrance remodeling to meet ADA stan­ dards, rebuilding of an elevator, and rebuilding of the west garden (Youth Services area), Cell phone use was banned to make the library more peaceful Progress Plans for the future include a revamp of the AV room to become more accessible and attractive: new lights and proper shelving for books on tape, videos and DVD’s Jeff Blumenthal was appointed to the library board to replace Yvonne Sharpe in 2000. Bill Seiden also served in 2000 as presi­ dent of the North Suburban Library System. In 2001 Bill Seiden and John Anderson will leave their Deerfield Library board positions and a 2001 spring board election will bring changes to the makekup of the library board. We were saddened at the death this year of Tony Sabato who retired from the library board in 1997 after 19 years of service. During 2000, Glenn Poch was selected Head of Technical Service and spearheaded new computer installation. Better equipment and response time has brought us up to speed for the 21st century and we shall continue to enhance our collection, and provide valuable service to our community. Projects Readers of all ages pledged to read 100 books in 2000 in our Century Readers Club. By December, 5000 books were read and a reception was held for those ach.ev.ng this admirable feat.

Anderson Retires from Library Board After twenty- four years of service, John Anderson has moved to Wauconda. He was a Deerfield resident for thirty- four years. vr First elected in 1977 and reelected in four subsequent elections, Anderson’s term spanned the period from when the library was new all the way through the recent renovations. He provided leadership for two library directors: Suzanne Whetstone and Jack Hicks. A multi-faceted man, Anderson was a strong advocate of freedom of speech, access by all residents to all forms of information and of library literacy. He pressed for renovation and the new comput­ er system and he was instrumental in bringing videos and other AV for­ mats to the library. He said, “Many problems were solved during my tenure. I was glad to have been able to contribute to this great library.” WL ■ The library runs regular monthly columns in The Chamber of Commerce Docket and the local What's Happening. Watch for these! Three Board Members Elected Jeffrey Blumenthal, Donald Van Arsdale and David Wolff were elected to serve on the Deerfield Library Board of Trustees at the April 3 Village of Deerfield election. All three have previ­ ously served on the board. David Wolff has been a board member for 12 years and held the office of secretary. Blumenthal had been appointed last year. Both Blumenthal and Wolff will serve six year terms. Van Arsdale served on the Board in 1994, and will fill the remaining four year term of Yvonne Sharpe who resigned to move to Riverwoods. All three newly elected trustees are strong library users and supporters. The Deerfield Library Board of Trustees holds open meetings the third Wednesday of every month at 8 p.m. Under 18 Video Policy Changed Matt requested and the board responded.... Joan Bairstow, right, Deerfield Library Head of Circulation, gladly implemented the board’s new video policy suggested by Deerfield student Matt Tick, at left. Matt Tick, Deerfield High School stu­ dent, made a presentation to the library Board of Trustees, and the Board respond­ ed by changing the video policy for those under 18 years of age. The new policy states that when a parental permission release form is on file in the library, juve­ nile patrons may borrow video/DVD mate­ rials on their own cards. Parents must give the permission in person, and must assume full responsibility for return, damage, fees or fines for materials loaned under the pol­ icy. The library is held harmless from the loan of any material. Policies and permis­ sion slips are available at the front desk. See inside for Music in the Fiction Room on Saturday, June 9th.

Many, like Rosemary Sazonoff, were Deerfield stalwarts; many were not known by the public but made strong contributions to this library benefiting the residents and the staff. John was not the longest serving board member of memory. That honor would go to former Board President Tom Parfitt, with current President Sue Benn right behind in length of service. It is hard to sin­ gle out individuals but some do stand out. Longtime Treasurer Tony Sabato, who passed away last winter, taught me all I know about tax levies and public finance. Rosemary Sazonoff taught me the power of the press; Wilbur Page taught me respect for the physical plant and how to take care of it. Sue Benn, especially, has shepherded me through all our renovation projects for the past eight years and I owe her more than I can tell. It is with sadness that we note the death of former Board Member Charlene Reich in early May; she served with distinction. Currently the library has a mix of old and new board members. Sue Benn brings over twenty years experience to the table, David Wolff twelve years. Our younger members Don Van Arsdale, Sunday Mueller, Jeff Blumenthal and Ken Abosch bring a renewed sense of energy and enthusiasm as we look forward to long range planning and needed community assessment to prepare ourselves for the future. Bill Seiden has agreed to fill John Anderson’s position on an interim basis. This board truly reflects the residents of Deerfield and will be a great asset as we move into the reality of the information age. As if we needed proof that it is indeed a small world we live in, this spring Bill Seiden, current President of the North Suburban Library System Board, and I were in Washington, D.C. for the American Library Association’s Legislative Day. At the debriefing session held after a long day on Capitol Hill I chanced to look over at one of our fellow library advocates. I asked him immediately if he was the Don McCurry who served so ably on the Deerfield Public Library Board twenty years ago. Don’s reponse was, “How in the world did you know that?” It was easy. Don had been a great board member. He had made strong contri­ butions to the library, and had make a lasting impression. He was in Washington as a board member of the Northern Illinois Library System headquartered in Rockford. It seems Don has been involved in library service for many years. At this point it finally occurred to me that as boards have a tremendous impact on their libraries, so do libraries have a lasting effect on the board members themselves. It was a fine moment when I introduced a current board member to one from many, many years ago. Past and present became one, leading me to feel confident about this library’s future.
