Scholarship Fund
Announced
The Board of Trustees is pleased
to announce that the recently estab
lished Jack Alan Hicks Scholarship
Fund is now accepting donations
from the public. This fund,
established to honor the long and
dedicated career of recently retired
Administrative Librarian Jack
Hicks, will offer annual grants to
assist Deerfield Public Library
employees in furthering their
professional development. These
grants will help DPL staff continue
to extend their expertise in meeting
the public’s rapidly changing
information-age needs.
To donate, send a check in any
amount to Hicks Scholarship Fund,
Deerfield Public Library,
920 Waukegan Road, Deerfield, IL

to the Deerfield Public Library,
with “Hicks Scholarship Fund”

www.deerfieldlibrary.org or call
Linda Shepherd at 847-945-3311.
In the first seven months of 2006, our
patrons have checked out more than
28,000 DVDs. This is 60% more than
the same period last year.
Welcome
With this issue of our newsletter, the Board welcomes our
new Library Director, Mary Pergander.
Ms. Pergander has a strong background in library adminis
tration and other leadership positions. Most recently, she
served as director of the Lake Bluff Public Library. Ms.
Pergander brings energy, leadership, organization and
communication skills plus business experience to this
challenging position.
The decision to hire Mary Pergander as the Library Director was made after a
thorough national search within the profession. She was selected from among almost
forty applicants and will be a great asset to the community.
Ms. Pergander holds an MBA from Lake Forest Graduate School of Management and
an MS in Library Science from the University of Illinois. She assumed her new position
in mid-July, succeeding Jack Hicks, who served the library for 34 years.
The Library Board and staff of Deerfield Public Library invite
members of the community to meet our new director at a public
reception on Sunday, September 17, from 2-3:30 in the
Deerfield Public Library. We hope you will join us.

�Across the Librarian’s Desk
There was a strange stillness. The
birds, for example where had they
gone? Many people spoke of them,
puzzled and disturbed. The feeding
stations in the backyards were
deserted. The few birds seen any
where were moribund; they trem
bled violently and could not fly. It
was a spring without voices. On the mornings that had
once throbbed with the dawn chorus of robins, catbirds,
doves, jays, wrens, and scores of other bird voices
there was now no sound; only silence lay over the fields
and woods and marsh. So began opening passages in
Rachel Carson’s 1962 classic, cautionary, tale Silent
Spring. The message of that book was immediate and
lasting: what man does to alter his environment can
sow the seeds of a terrible harvest. That book detailed
the inexorability, precision, and terrible lasting price of
unintended consequences.
Those lines were recalled to me late this summer when
my neighbors and I realized that the chorus of birds our
neighborhood had always enjoyed was silent. Gone were
the sparrows, the crows, the blue jays and robins, gone
were almost all the birds except ones passing through.
No longer was I awakened to the raucous caws of a
family of crows that frequented my backyard, no more
brazen blue jays. In fact no birds at all. The cause is, of
course, the West Nile Virus. Illinois leads the nation in
human cases of the illness and in the number of deaths
attributed to it. For reasons seemingly unknown to sci
ence, Illinois is the epicenter of this new and baffling
illness and the first to fall are our friends the birds. As
Rachel Carson had so accurately predicted, the birds
acted as the barometer of the health of the environ
ment.
Well-meaning voices have been raised to resurrect the
use of DDT—one of the most dangerous and persistent
poisons ever devised by man—as a possible cure.
One can only ponder if the old vaudeville punch line
wouldn’t literally be true: the proposed cure being
worse than the disease. I have watched through late
summer and now into fall for a return of the birds to my
yard. A few have come, but are quickly gone, and no
crow caws for my arising. Over the years hundreds and
hundreds of sparrows have called my backyard home
and my birdfeeder their Sunset Foods. I have housed,
fed, and nurtured a sprawling family of sparrows in my
yard for twenty-five years. This spring there were brood
after brood of new hatchlings in that birdhouse—the
insistent peeping announcing a new brood and the exit
of the fledglings.
Recently, I started to clean out my bird houses as I do
every fall—so that next year’s birds will have a clean
start on their child rearing. The wren house was empty,
the second general purpose house always cherished by
starlings was too. But the home place for my sparrows
brought upset. Amidst all the string, and feathers, and
sticks, and fluff there were the little abandoned
nests—forlorn in their vacancy. The final nest brought
sorrow. In it were three tiny shriveled, mummified,
sparrow nestlings and three unhatched eggs. The birds I
carefully buried in my flower garden along with two
cracked eggs. The third egg, perfect, speckled in mot
tled gray, white and brown. I put it in a finch’s nest I
had brought home from a backpacking trip of forty
years ago. I don’t know why.
This seems like a fall to reflect on unintended conse
quences and the price to be paid for our folly, hubris, or
ignorance. Those little dead birds broke my heart. I had
not had the good sense to realize that West Nile could
strike so quickly as to kill the parents in mid-flight. The
victims of our stupidity are always the tiny, the power
less, the innocent. The solutions I will leave to better
minds. But as Rachel Carson warned—it is always a dis
aster to rush headlong to conclusions, to push for solu
tions that may destroy more than they save, or to trust
loud voices more than good sense. Too many lessons, it
seems, get forgotten.
