Amy Simon
Book Fund
The Youth Services Department has
recently purchased three expensive
sets of books from the Amy Simon
Fund. The volumes are: Discovering
Cultures, Cultures of the World and
The Elements. Chris Kopeck, Head of
Youth Services, said “We would not
otherwise be able to purchase these
sets which will help children learn
more about and discover the world
around them”. The fund, established
in Amy’s memory in 1991, is targeted
to “expand our knowledge of the
world and its people”.
In the Library
Voter Registration
Voters Turn Down Library
Advisory Referendum
The Deerfield Public Library had an advisory referendum on the November 2,2004
Deerfield ballot requesting “bonds in the amount of $25 million be issued for Library
purposes of the Village of Deerfield, in Lake County, Illinois for addition or
construction of a new library building of at least 80,000 sq. ft. including site acquisition,
parking, library materials and technology and related fixtures, furnishing, improvements
and costs”. The final vote tally was 31.43% in favor and 68.57% against.
The staff and board would like to thank all those who supported the library and most
particularly Deerfield resident Bill Darrow and his citizens’ group who worked so hard
to communicate the library’s message. We also greatly appreciated Amie Grahl,
Deerfield Review editor, who gave the library's referendum a wonderful endorsement in
the Pioneer Press on October 21. This was the first time in over 35 years that the library
had gone to the taxpayers for building funds, asking for community support to replace
the present library which has outgrown its 1971 building. More space and equipment
are required to respond to the needs and requests from the Deerfield community. The
library board will continue to plan future library service which the community wants
and deserves.

Deerfield Library from 10-2 Saturdays,

County residents. Bring identification.

Summer, 2003
Public Opinion Laboratory of
Northern Illinois performs
survey which indicates that
residents want
1. the Library to stay in present
quadrant;
2. convenience: drive-up
access, lower shelves, wider
aisles;
3. an enlarged and diversified
Youth Services Department;
and
4. increased access to technology
and the Internet.
Winter, 2004
Library Planning Consultant
Anders Dahlgren completes two
studies, which determine
1. we need a building 50%
larger than our current one
just to efficiently house
current holdings and
services. (Current library,
built in 1969, housed 61,500
items; same space now hous
es 180,000 items.);
2. future space needs will
require an 86,000-squarefoot building.

needs.
Winter, 2004
Library newsletter informs the
community of the planning

very costly and would not solve
present space problems.

Administrative Librarian Jack
Hicks informs the board that
the Library’s present infrastruc
ture will soon require $2
million of repair.
August, 2004

conduct a referendum. The
community will be included
and informed of all processes
to come.

Our Heartland Celebration!
You are Welcome to Attend, 2pm, Sunday, March 21.
The Unveiling of the Lars-Birger Sponberg Painting
A resident of Deerfield for over 50 years, artist Lars-Birger Sponberg has painted a
Midwest landscape that is gracing the wall above our Circulation Desk, the
first thing you see as you enter the library. Sponberg’s career spans nine
decades, and his work has been shown in solo exhibits and group shows in
the Chicago area, Sweden and New York and can be found in numerous
private and corporate collections.
Most recently he has painted “Midwest landscapes” as seen from the road
side. They invite the viewer to enter into the rural landscape on intimate
terms. The library’s painting, McHeniy County, according to Sponberg
“was in my mind for quite some time. Basically it is a real scene (near
Richmond, IL) but I’ve changed and added and done what artists do.”
His intention was to make a good painting, and the scenery is secondary.
Lars-Birger Sponberg works on
our library painting in his
Deerfield home.
Deerfield’s Peter Nye and the Chicago Blue Grass Band
Deerfield’s Peter Nye and the Chicago Blue Grass Band will entertain at the March 21
event with “slamming traditional bluegrass music with a big city wallop”. This internation
ally acclaimed group, a favorite at the Old Town School of Music, will focus on the heart
land. (See Adult Programs)
Refreshments for the afternoon will be donated by Deerfield’s Whole Foods Market.
We love Deerfield and
want the library to
be important to the
community. A focus on
Deerfield is our library’s
overriding spring theme.
As you look through our
newsletter, you will see
that we are highlighting
our community, its
citizens and its talents.

�A Review of the Deerfield Public Library’s
Long Range Planning Process—2001-2004
ver the past year and a half the
library board has been working on
a plan to create a library that
serves patrons’ needs now and in the
future. We would like to share with the
community our work in progress. Our goal
is to plan for the library to continue to be a
source of pride to Deerfield.
The current library was built in 1969 to
house 61,500 items in 32,500 square feet.
Today that same space houses 180,000
volumes. At that time the library employed
14 staff. Today we employ 46 staff mem
bers. We have added music, video and
audio collections. There were no comput
erized catalogs, Internet and no cabling for
a computer network. There was no separate
fiction room. Since 1992, the library has
expanded facilities and services within the
limitations of the present building. We
have reached our space limit and cannot
adapt newer technologies or new services
to our existing structure.
Our vision statement: The Deerfield
Public Library is an educational resource,
cultural center, community gathering place,
and a gateway to technology. The library
will promote lifetime learning. We will
offer all the programs, materials, and ser
vices necessary to participate in the world
of ideas and provide our patrons with the
tools to succeed in the future.
O

PATRIOT ACT
People have asked me about the
Patriot Act and what the controversy is
all about regarding libraries. In short,
it is Federal legislation enacted shortly
after the 9-11 catastrophe that allows
the government—the FBI—to look at
library patrons’ record files, Internet
access records, and any other record
the Library keeps on its users or rou
tine internal files used to operate the
Library. This can be done without ben
efit of traditional due process proce
dures and carries extreme penalties to
the Librarian for non-compliance,
quick punishment if information about
this governmental access is revealed—
to anyone. The genesis of this Act
stems from the idea that the 9-11 ter
rorists used libraries as a base for their
communication activities.
Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis
said ‘The greatest dangers to liberty
lurk in the insidious encroachment by
men of zeal, well meaning but without
understanding.” Libraries have tradi
tionally been strongholds of the
Constitution’s guarantee of freedom of
speech, the right to privacy, and the
freedom of inquiry. Patron privacy and
confidentiality have always been guiding

Some libraries have posted large signs warning their clients of this
legislation. I have been asked why I have not put up disclaimer
signs like this informing our residents that their library records might
be reviewed by the government without notice. The answer is sim
ple: if I put up warning signs I would compromise even more the
public’s reasonable expectation of privacy by warning them that in
the library, privacy does not exist. Signs cancel any vestige of privacy.
The Library has always followed, and will continue to follow the
Illinois Compiled Statutes—provision 75ILCS 70/1-2—‘The
Library Records Confidentiality Act”— which deals directly with the
explicit right of all citizens to have their library records held in con
fidence, but frankly that law is preempted and powerless in regard to
the Patriot Act. I will take every measure in my power to ensure
each resident’s right to privacy and confidentiality—but I am duty
and honor bound to fully comply with the spirit and the letter of the
Federal law.

Graphic Artist Betty Reschke:
In Memoriam
On April 23,2003 the Deerfield Library
staff lost a dear friend, who this year cele
brated 34 years as a library employee. When
our California-born graphic artist Betty was
first employed the library was located in
what is now the West Deerfield Township
Office. In the present building her artistic
flair blossomed in a “behind the scenes”
I have no problem with the concepts surrounding national security.
Surely, only a fool would think that we are not all vulnerable to
internal terrorist acts and that these acts do not pose a
serious, palpable reality. It is impossible for us to consider these
issues wholly within the framework of the old ideas we held near
and dear before the tragedy of 9-11.1 guess what bothers me about
the Patriot Act is not that libraries have been thrust into the middle
of a debate not of their making where they had no input, nor the lack
of traditional due process, nor the invasion of privacy, nor the
implied violation of hard won and cherished First Amendment
rights. What does trouble me is that the Patriot Act can easily be
seen as an insidious encroachment, first-step, beginning of an omni
scient government. I certainly question the need for that step in a
Constitutional Democracy. I am afraid, after all, that “the fault dear
Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves”.

workroom. She sewed hundreds of original
puppets for the library’s puppet theater, pre
pared posters for our programs using an
ancient printing press, built large structures
such as the 4th of July bookworm, a bam, a
mural, exhibits and displays and fashioned
countless creative projects. She responded
immediately to our often last-minute
requests. When she took ill several months
ago she was re-sewing, for the umpteenth
time, the cloth furniture and inhabitants of
the little tree house (dollhouse) that has been
a fixture in the Childrens’ department for
decades. Betty had a multitude of interests
including golf, swimming, jazz (especially
at Ravinia), nature, the Southwest, and her
Michigan summer retreat. Her many talents
and cheerful smile will be greatly missed by
the library staff and the public who so
admired her hard work. In a 1997 Deerfield
Review article celebrating the library’s 70th
anniversary, Betty’s photo was featured and
she modestly responded about her long
tenure at the library “It’s just an enjoyable
way to pass the time!” Betty lived in
Highland Park and leaves two daughters.
Her husband passed away several years ago.
Youth Services’ Cindy Schilling holds the new puppets
made by Betty this year. Cindy, a 13 year library
employee, has just recently received her Masters in
Library Science and we are proud of her!

community and all its diverse components, to our
library. When considering changes to its operation,
we strive to keep in mind all our constituencies
and tty' to balance the needs of each group.
Fortunately, the members of our board directly rep
resent most of these groups and we are all frequent
users of the library’s materials and facilities. Our
efforts are easily a “labor of love”.
I am pleased to serve as the incoming president
and have several goals for the year ahead. Chief
among them is reaching out to those of you who
visit the library less frequently. I hope we can
familiarize you with the wonderful services avail
able there, including the services of our very peo
ple friendly reference librarians. They stand ready
and eager to help you find answers to your ques
tions, to show you some of our amazing reference
materials, and to help you search the ‘Net quickly
and effectively. Considering the immense amount
af information “out there”, I think you’ll find a
Jbranan to be a valuable research partner.

John A. 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.”

�Across the Librarian’s Desk
The retirement of John Anderson from the
Library Board after twenty-four years of service
caused me to reflect on the fine board mem
bers who have served this library in the years
since the library was built. 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.

longer in the JCPL consortium with
Morton Grove, Waukegan and Skokie.
Only the Deerfield Library holdings appear
on our computer screen. However, on our
regular computers you can call up the
holdings of all libraries in the North
Suburban System and continue to borrow,
as always, from interlibrary loan.
Up and running this summer will be our
own home page where you can access our
catalog directly (www.deerfieldlibrary.org)
Until now our home page of programs and
services has only been found on the
Village of Deerfield "community” site.
(www.deerfteld-il.org).
You can also access our catalog by
dialing in with a modem 945-3498 (with
communications software, i.e., ProComm).

New ADA Computer Terminal
Through the auspices of Deerfield resi

computer to the library. A 21- inch monitor
will go with the new computer so that
visually impaired patrons can use an
enlarged font size to see the library’s
online catalog, the online magazine data
base and the Internet. The monitor and
keyboard will sit on a counter that allows
wheelchair access. Those who need this
special accommodation should ask for
assistance at the Reference Desk.

Projects and
Progress
A report on the year 2000,
Deerfield Library’s Year of
Renewal
During our millennium year we strived to
become a focus in our community, where ren
ovation was the word for the whole Village.
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. Read Around the World clubs

Across the
Librarian’s
Desk
It is with a pang of real sadness
that I note the passing of Steve
Allen. 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.

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:

Across the Librarian’s Desk (cont.)
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

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

Library to Have New Computer System
Continuing the library's Year
of Renewal, and the village’s ren
ovation, the library' provides a
central, cultural focus for the
Deerfield community. Many of
our adult programs this fall are
“partnering” and highlighting
Deerfield businesses, organiza
tions and individuals who make
our community richer.

Yvonne Sharpe, library board
member since 1992, will be retir
ing from her board position
because she will no longer be a
Deerfield resident. 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.

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.” □

�Across the Librarian’s Desk
I once saw a cartoon of a nuclear physicist telling a classical musician that he only liked 18th cen
tury music. 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.

Read Around the World
Adult and Youth Services Summer
Reading Clubs!
June 12-August 11
Librarians are fond of authors I
who are originals, one-of-a-kind,
who establish themselves by the
uniqueness of their work. Edward
Gorey was just such an author
who lived up to his apt name. A
large man who wrote small books
about obscure and often mordant
themes that featured a self-mock
ing peril: books that never failed
to entertain. Gorey began as a
self-published small press author
who graduated to mainstream
recognition through a series of
illustrated books based on bizarre
situations—swooning damsels in
distress, doomed, helpless little
children, menacing gargoyles and
rose bushes, labyrinthine hedges,
doors to nowhere—all drawn up
in an elegant black-ink Victorian
style. Dark and macabre maybe,
whimsical and poetic always. He
is widely known as the illustrator
of the PBS TV series “Mystery.”
Even if you have only seen a sin
gle Gorey drawing you will never
forget it. Gorey claimed he only
wrote about real life; if that is
true, what an odd and unique life
he led.
This is not an ode to Edward
Gorey who died in April, but a

celebration of his talent and a reflection on the
creative process. Where does imagination and
creativity come from? How does one person
embody so many ideas while so many folks have
none? Gorey demonstrated with his slim books
that it is not necessary to grind out thousands of
pages to be creative—it is the quality of the
ideas, the originality of the product, the insight of
the imagination that produces a book of lasting
interest. Gorey was in effect
Charles Dickens in
reverse—small books
versus huge books—
but the results were
the same; rich memo
rable characters and
settings that grip our
imagination.
Where do we stumble
across those qualities in today’s life?
Certainly we spend a lot of time reading popular
mass market fiction, watching movies and TV, or
surfing the internet—but in all of these, creativity
seems to take second or third place to marketing
strategy. Of course there are exceptions, and cre
ativity that sells a product is fine, but does it have
the same social worth as creativity for its own
intrinsic worth? I am afraid that our senses have
been dulled over the years so that our ability to
identify and recognize creativity when we see it
has been seriously diminished. Maybe there truly
is no market for originality; or don’t people real
ize the difference between good, bad, and boring
anymore? Worse, do we recognize brilliance
when we see it? Or, do we as a society fail to
reward creativity, uniqueness, and originality?
Gorey contrasts so clearly with formula writers
who chum out endless best sellers—yet offer no

insights, no universal enlightenment, no useful
message about the human condition, no poetry, no
real spark, no literary style. Worse, I guess, is sit
ting transfixed by internet, watching screens that
offer nothing original, in fact which resemble
slow moving electronic comic books. Internet has
yet to live up to its potential, though I am sure it
will. But will it be a power for creativity or just
commercialism? Albert Einstein said in 1939 that
“If science, like art, is to perform its mission
truly and fully, its achievements must
enter not only superficially but
jjjfrix with their inner meanings into
W®, the consciousness of people.”
1 ^ The surSe P°Pular culture
/U® veers away from that paradigm. So much of our popular culture today springs from
just those sources—mass market
v
books, TV, movies and of course the
internet. Where is the writing, the thinking,
the creativity? Please don’t tell me the best brains
of today are all in e-business because if they are,
we are in a lot of trouble as a society.What do we
have? Tedious authors writing best sellers—dim
witted and formulaic. The bottom end of TV is an
endless parade of mindless pop-culture, single
message messianic “gurus” who offer us simpleminded solutions to life’s more vexing problems.
Movies seem to be all about car chase block
busters with no scripts. All this is forgettable,
while a single Gorey drawing stays in your mem
ory forever. Talent versus no talent. In an era of
clones, Gorey proved one thing; no one can copy
him. And please WTTW—no more gurus—
aaargh!

rP he plight of the deer in
A Lincolnshire is an emotional
pressure cooker. The issue is a lot
more involved than the wrong
animal in the wrong place at the
wrong time, or the sanctity of the
life of a single deer; it reaches
into the deepest recesses of our
ecological system and our con
science. The problem is more
complicated than either side of
the protagonists seem to grasp or
admit. The shooters’ solution is
both cruel and simplistic because
it does nothing to permanently
change the ecosystem—the deer
will simply return. The anthropo
morphism of these deer is proba
bly an even greater sin because
these animals are not little people
running around in furs and they
deserve an environmentally
sounder and a much more digni
fied defense.
I understand and sympathize
with both sides of the quandary.
Everyone agrees that this is one
of the most beautiful animals on
earth; but it is felt to be a menace
to safety, health and gardens by
one faction and the living incar
nation of wild nature by the

other. As a person who has been treated for Lyme
disease, I get a bit fearful because the disease con
cern is seldom even mentioned. What absolutely
stuns me is the level of emotional froth both sides
can chum up when there is a far greater travesty
right in the middle of the controversy; in fact, a
river runs through it. The Des Plaines River. If you
don’t know the Des Plaines, a one day paddle by
canoe from north of Libeityville to Deerfield Road
will delight and amaze you; or try any of the
extensive trails.
One hundred years ago a kid could swim and
fish in that river. It was a pristine, crystal clear
stream; home to beaver, otter, mink, pike. Eels,
who were born in the Sargasso Sea, migrated
there to spend their summers. Deer, bear, cari
bou, elk, badgers, wolverines and most likely
buffalo once roamed its shores. Many older
Deerfield residents still reminisce about the old
Des Plaines swimming hole. It is a river of sub
lime physical beauty—lyrical really—reduced in
stature by the level of junk we allow to be
pumped, dumped, or drained into it. Starting in
our backyards it flows all the way to the Gulf of
Mexico trailing our debris. The river is now
home only to the bottom feeding, lowly and
shunned, carp. If we are concerned about the
deer, we should be mortified by the water quali
ty of this beautiful river.
I know that everything pumped, dumped, or
oozed into the river meets or exceeds all the
EPA standards; but the cumulative effect is
something of which we should all be ashamed. I
would suggest that in the first decade of the 21st
century there is absolutely no reason or excuse
to put anything into our rivers and streams. We
must do better. Fifty years since the publication
of Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring we seem to
have changed little and learned less—showing
the same passion for the life of this river as we
show for the life of one deer would be a starting
point. Surely the river deserves life as much as
any single creature—more, because it touches
upon thousands and thousands of lives.
Ryerson Nature Preserve is one of this
region’s most wonderful treasures, well main
tained, scenic, a step back into another era. A
perfect counterpoint for me to the digital age. To
walk on Ryerson’s paths is a privilege I recom
mend to everyone. But I always come back to
the river. Sitting by the little falls at the dam in a
drifting snowstorm transports you to silent
forests and distant vistas. The pungent odor of
chemicals always spoils my reverie and brings
me back to reality. Is this the legacy we leave
our children? In the optimism of the new millen
nium and the digital age can’t we find a solution
to clean water so that voyageurs of a future age
can share the experiences with the voyageurs of
the past? I challenge any doubter to take my
infallible Des Plaines River test. Go to the dam
in Ryerson, fill a 12 ounce glass with the water
spilling over the edge and drink it. If you can’t
do it, tell me why.
The book I am recommending this month is
Annie Proulx’s Close Range about life on the
harsh plains of Wyoming.
