DEAR FRIENDS:
I HOPE THAT YOU WILL ENJOY THE BICENTENNIAL HISTORY
PLUS THREE. CERTAINLY IT HAS BEEN A LABOR OF LOVE
TO WHICH MANY HAVE CONTRIBUTED OVER THE PAST THREE
YEARS.
SOME OF THE DELAY IN PUBLISHING THE HISTORY HAS BEEN
DUE TO THE WEALTH OF MATERIAL WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN
INCLUDED IN THE BOOK. IT WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO
DECIDE WHAT SHOULD BE RECORDED WITHOUT CREATING A
DAY-BY-DAY REVIEW OF THE HISTORY OF DEERFIELD.
I AM MOST GRATEFUL TO EVERYONE WHO HELPED TO MAKE
EVEN THOUGH IT IS A LITTLE
THIS BOOK A REALITY
LATER THAN WE HAD ORIGINALLY PLANNED!
SINCERELY,
BERNARD
MAYOR

DEERFIELD PUBLIG LIBRARY
;
�During that first year in Lake County, his young
son Daniel, Jr. died on September 7,1834, and his
wife, Ruth, died on September 10.20 Another son
died a year later. No cause of death is suggested
in the materials available, but the prevalence of
epidemic diseases in late summer has been
documented.
A prairie fire destroyed Wright’s winter hay sup
ply and the Indians helped him to survive the first
winter.21
Wright’s daughter, Caroline, married William
Whigham in 1836. It was the first marriage in Lake
County, and Hiram Kennicott, first Justice of the
Peace, performed the ceremony at the “Mill” on
the Des Plaines River.22
The Wright farm spanned the Des Plaines River,
and part of it is now the Ryerson Conservation
Area in Riverwoods. Wright died December 30,
1873 at the age of 95. His farm was in the name of
William Whigham on the 1916 Plat Map. He had
married Rachel Millard in 1845.23
The first settler in Deerfield Township was
Michael Meehan. He arrived in a covered wagon
drawn by two oxen and settled on Section 18 on
Telegraph Road in 1835, between Half Day Road
and Wilmot Road.24 Meehan was born in 1808 at
Meath, Ireland. He married Bridget Monahan in
1832, and emigrated to the United States that
same year. He went first to Salina, New York, and
later to Michigan, but in the autumn of 1835 he
came finally to Deerfield. The Indians had not left
the area yet, and the township was still in its
natural state. Meehan plowed the first furrow in
the township.25
He was relatively well stocked with provisions
when he arrived in Deerfield, for he had several
barrels of flour and a barrel of beef and pork. He
also had the cash to purchase seed, oats and
potatoes in the following spring, and he bought
the first piglet and first pair of kittens as well. He
erected a log cabin on the 225 acres that pre
empted, and the land had not yet been surveyed
(therefore it was still government land obtained
from the Indian Treaty). He left the farm for a brief
attempt at gold mining in California in 1852, but
realized the futility and quickly returned. 26
Meehan continued to work his farm until 1876,
when, at the age of 68, he retired, sold his farm to
James O’Connor, a neighbor and relative, and
moved to Highland Park.27
The first settler in what is now the Village of
Deerfield was Jacob Cadwell (or perhaps Horace
Lamb). Cadwell and Lamb arrived in Deerfield in
1835.28
Jacob Cadwell and his wife, Rubie Rich
Cadwell, had five sons and two daughters:
Madison, Philemon, Caleb, Hiram, Edwin, Rubie
Rosella and Jerusha Rosina.29 They all settled on
what is now Waukegan Road near Deerfield Road.
For a time this was called “Cadwell Corners” but
later it was changed to “Deerfield Corners.” The
locations of their homes is given in
a DDroximate
H History of Deerfield, by Reichelt, but those
the
locations are no longer contemporary. The
7
Cadwell lands were pre-empted under one of the
pre-emption bills passed after 1830 (but before the
Distribution Pre-emption act).30
Caleb Cadwell was appointed the first
postmaster in Deerfield in 1850.31 The Cadwells
built the first school — Cadwell School — and
Rosella was the first teacher. The Cadwell School
was opened in 1848, but the Wilmot School — the
first in the township — was opened in 1847.32
Horace Lamb came to Deerfield in 1835, the
same year as the Cadwells. It is not clear, actual
ly, who was the first to settle here. The Lamb pro
perty was located between what is now
Waukegan road and the east slough north from
the county line into what is presently the country
club. These were later the Vetter and Parsons pro
perties.33
The Wilmots, too, were among the first settlers.
Jesse Wilmot came up the North Branch in 1834
and landed at what is now Greenwood Avenue.34
Having stayed in Deerfield through the winter, he
returned in 1837 to the east to bring his own fami
ly and his brother, Lyman, and his family. Both
families settled west of the village along Wilmot
Road in the Deerfield Road area (none of which
existed at the time, of course). The farm the
Wilmots built was considered one of the best and
most productive in the area.35
Lyman Wilmot had eleven children, six sons
and five daughters. He built the first school in the
township; the Wilmots were patrons of education.
They were also abolitionists, and operated a sta
tion on the “underground railroad” which aided
runaway slaves to escape into Canada.36 Mrs.
Clarissa Wilmot, Lyman’s wife, was a practical
nurse and midwife who administered to the infirm
in the absence of the physician, and performed
some diagnostics with the aid of a medical
manual.37

�3. Civil War
and After
Freedom
Abolition
The abolitionist sentiment existed in Deerfield
and its adjacent areas. A “station” on the
Underground Railroad was operated by Lyman
Wilmot, and a runaway slave was received here
and given quarters for the winter of 1858 at the
home of Lorenz Ott.1 Abolitionists from Highland
Park would come to Deerfield to debate the issue
at the corner of Deerfield and Waukegan Roads.2
The runaway slave, Andrew Jackson, was 28
years old and came from a Mississippi plantation.
His father was the plantation owner, a white man,
and because of this, the slave received greater
liberty than other slaves, providing him with an
opportunity to escape. His flight from Mississippi
was an ordeal which included temporary capture
by his pursuers.3
Jackson lived with the Ott family, and did
chores while there. He built a white picket fence
and gate, but asked that it be taken down when
the slaves were freed-German thrift could not ac
cede to this request. In the spring, Jackson was
taken to Chicago from where he sailed to Canada.
He corresponded with the Ott family from there.4
The abolitionist sentiment was not universally
embraced, however, and many men were unable
to acknowledge a personal involvement in the
abolition issue-particularly in the resulting war.5
Antiwar sentiment was so strong that a bounty
was required to induce enlistments. The bounty
was $40 per man at the beginning of the war, but it
was $1600 by the end.6
There were a few “copperhead” and “a lodge or
two of Knights of the Golden Circle,”7 which were
southern sympathizers, but “never constituted an
effective fifth column.”8 A strong Union League
existed to counteract any disloyalty that may
have disgraced the County.9
CIVIL WAR
Deerfield Grand Army of the Republic
Captain McCaul’s Shield Guards were ap
parently the first volunteers. Their formation was
13
announced on April 20, 1861, and they joined an
Irish regiment in Chicago.10 On April 29, 1861,
ninety volunteers from southern Lake County ar
rived at Waukegan.11 On May 4,1861, the Union Ri
fle Guards were formed. On June 6, the County
Board of Supervisors appropriated $5,000 for
bounties to encourage enlistments.12
During the summer of 1861, Companies C and F
of the 37th Illinois Infantry were organized. Cap
tain Eugene B. Payne and Captain Erwin B.
Messer were the officers of these Companies.
During the winter of 1861-1862, half of Company I,
45th Illinois Infantry, and half of Company F of the
65th Infantry were organized; Company G of the
51st Illinois Infantry was organized, and all went
to Camp Douglas.13 It is not certain whether Virgil
Wilmot, the son of Lyman Wilmot who operated
the underground railroad, served in the 45th14 or
the 55th15 Illinois Infantry.
Thomas Mooney of Deerfield had the unique
service record of serving on both sides. He was in
ducted into the Confederate Army while working
as an engineer on a Mississippi River steamboat,
but escaped after two years and joined the Union
Army.18
Several Deerfield men died as a result of the
Civil War, either from illness, injuries received in
battle or from the hardships of the prison camps.
Several more were crippled. Those who served in

Awesome Things
Library cards available for
awesome readers ages 5+
(Tour of Awesome begins on page 2)
i
�September is officially
Library Card Sign-up
Month!
This “holiday” is an initiative
championed by the American
Library Association to promote,
you guessed it, library cards! In
1987, Education Secretary
William J. Bennett wanted a
way to encourage all children
to get, and use, a library
card. Since then,
libraries use this
month as a way
Celebrate Library Card Sign-up
Month by exploring the awesomeness
of your Deerfield Public Library!
True, you don’t need a library card for all these activities, but
everyone should have this awesome card in their wallet.
Library cards are available for ages 5+!
to remind the public that a
library card is a way to explore
educational and recreational
resources. Public libraries are
great equalizers. There are very
few civic institutions that serve
people from all backgrounds
and walks of life. Public
libraries are a source of
community pride, and each one
is unique in how it serves its
community.
At Deerfield Public Library,
we are very proud of the
variety of services we offer
our community. Throughout
this issue of Browsing, we
will be highlighting some of
the great things that you can
do with your DPL card.
We hope you will find
something new
and unique.
With your library card, in
addition to being able to check
out books in a variety of
formats, I encourage you to
explore the Library's wide
variety of digital resources. Are
you looking to make an
automobile purchase this year?
Be sure to check out our new
Auto Finance Resource
database. Download the hoopla
app to get access to hundreds
of streaming TV shows, movies,
and audiobooks. And we have
an amazing, professional staff
available to assist you in your
information-seeking endeavors.
We are here to help you find the
information you need.
Deerfield Public Library is
always looking for ways to meet
the needs of the community.
Your library card is the key that
can unlock many doors!

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:
December 24,25,31 and

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
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.

w
inston Churchill said that
we shape our buildings and
thereafter they shape us. Those
words have a special resonance
for me. This month marks the
end of almost eight years of
remodeling and renovating the
library. The intimacy I have had
with this building in those years
has indeed shaped me. I would
like to think the building is now
in as good a shape as it was when
I first came to work here twentyeight years ago. All departments
have been renovated, the ADA
code has been addressed, a new
elevator has been added, and new
boiler system has been installed.
On December 12, we will rededi
cate our refurbished Youth
Services room, named in memory
of Dr. Diego Redondo.
In many ways the past few
years have been like playing an
extended game of Snakes and
Ladders or an object lesson in the
herding of cats. Anyone who has
ever supervised a home remodel
ing project will understand exact
ly what I mean. I am now on a

plumbers, painters, carpenters,

cement cutters, brick layers, contractors and
architects. It has been my privilege to work with
four gifted and talented architects: Cecil
Gobeaux, Don Wrobleski, Karl Sugihara and
Scott Javore. A special thanks to interior designer Juele Blankenburg. It has been an interesting
odyssey. The library staff and Board could not
have been more helpful or supportive.
The foresight of Mayor Forrest and the Village
Trustees made all of our renovations possible.
These projects were carried out with the use of
Tax Increment Financing and did not cost the
taxpayer any money. The library incurred no
debt—and no new taxes.
Two remarks stand out in my memory that
shaped the mind-set of the entire project. They
stand out because of their easy wisdom. The
first was from our former Board President, Tom
Parfitt, when our ADA building audit had been
done by O’Donnell, Wickland, Pigozzi and
Peterson. We needed to change and alter many
things in our building to be ADA compliant;
frankly this would cost a lot of money and dis
turbed everyone on the board. We named our
Fiction Room for Tom because of what he said
that night, “This is not a set back, this is an
opportunity.” The second came when we were in
the design throes of the lobby renovation and
the architect was describing how a double-hung
door (which we now have) fully complied with
ADA because of the low pressure needed to
open it. Yvonne Sharpe got right to the point by
asking. “What if the patron doesn’t have any
hands?” So we added an automatic door, too. I
believe those two insights defined everything we

have done in the past eight years. Do the thing
right, in spirit as well as statute. Not the cheap
est, not the most expensive, we chose the right
way throughout the whole project.
Bill Seiden always kids me about the six
Family Day Parade 1st prizes I have in my
office. I am proud of them because they make it
clear how this library relates to and reflects the
community and residents. This library is part of
the community. We help kids learn to read, do
story hours, provide fiction books, answer refer
ence questions, teach research skills, help plan
science fair experiments, teach the Internet and
do puppet shows. We supply all our Deerfield
residents with their reading needs and informa
tion needs and provide lifetime learning. So, as
Winston Churchill said, we shape our buildings
and thereafter they shape us.
The bricks and mortar period is over. Now
the hard part begins—planning for the future.
The Board and staff will not waver from that
responsibility. It will take hard work and
courage to develop a vision for the future.
Technology, remote access, fiber optic networks,
distance learning, and computers will shape our
future. To have a vision and plan in place will
take study. The revitalized Youth Services
Department reflects our commitment to the
young people of Deerfield—our future—and the
room makes some promises. It promises chal
lenge and reward, service and wisdom, comfort
and warmth. Most of all, I pledge that it promis
es an entrance to the future for all our children.

Youth Services
Department renovation
begins!
There will be much activity in
the Youth Services Department
this summer. The summer read
ing club, Time Trek Readers
and numerous activities (see
page three) will be humming
along during major department
renovation. At least one portion
of the area will be kept open to
patrons at all times and, when
necessary, programs will be held
in the upstairs meeting room.
Donald F. Wrobleski of DF
Wrobleski Architects will
be principal architect for the
renovation. Wrobleski was
architect of the remodeled
Fiction Room, and he will be
extending the 20th century
modernist classic design and
palette of light and materials of
the Fiction Room into the
Youth Services area while
specifics will be different. New
carpet and furniture, more win
dows and angled (faux) sky
light should brighten the room
without structural work. Stack
space for books will increase
by 1/3. “The idea is to make it
more comfortable, efficient and
organized” said Wrobleski. The
project should be completed by
fall.

New Policies for YOU!!
In response to patron requests, we are making two important changes at the library:
1. Starting immediately, you may borrow fiction books of over 400 pages for three
weeks. Formerly you only had one week to read a novel which was up to 500 pages!
2. Beginning the week of September 13 we will be open on Fridays until 6 p.m. The
library has always closed at 5 p.m. on Fridays. The rest of the library’s hours will
remain the same.

Librarian’s Desk
I
n 1968 a friend of mine, Rowland
Higgins, who now teaches mathe
matics at Cambridge, England, wrote
a letter to the London Times suggesting
that all Olympic competitors—from all
nations—march and compete in identical
white uniforms. This view was not dri
ven by post-modern nostalgia but by a
genuine fear that amateur sport was
becoming far too politicized and profes
sional. The letter was printed in the
crank file.
How prescient Rowland was. The
Olympics truly did descend to perilous
political depths as Iron Curtain countries
and western democracies struggled with
each other for political dominance. The
result was every imaginable attempt to
subvert the spirit of the Olympic Creed
and the rules of fair competition as state
run machines immersed themselves in
blood doping, drugs, surgeries, gender
ambivalence, ruthless competition, bro
ken lives- making the Olympics a sham.
The end of the Cold War did not end the
abuses, merely transferred them to the
commercial arena. The day 30 year old,
hardened, professional basketball players
suited up as the “dream team” was a low
spot for amateur athletics. The charm,
naivete, innocence and the purity of ama
teur youth was replaced with professional
greed—and not just on the part of the
athletes. The warning signs were there
but we chose to ignore them in our lust
for gold medals. What a descent from
1936 when Eleanor Holm Janett was dis
missed from the Olympic swimming
team for drinking champagne on the boat
to Europe. Perhaps there is no value in
innocence, amateurism, or honesty any
longer.
Corporate giants around the world turned
the Olympics into a bottom feeder’s food
frenzy. Logos, sponsorship, glamour and
hype attached themselves permanently to
the Olympics at America’s 1984 Los
Angeles gala and provided a fatal poison.

Many of these sports companies exploit vir

since that is unpalatable we avert our gaze.
Instead of a once-in-a-lifetime experience
for wide-eyed young athletes, jaded profes

time Olympians, appearing at Olympics
after Olympics until they are too creaky to
make a go of it, effectively denying youth

is twelve year old gymnasts with severe
overuse injuries, and anorexia, from too

Corporate America and the desire to make a
buck are not a bad thing. We all know the
benefits of a burgeoning economy, but—and
this is a big but—there are places where
greed, money, bribes and corruption do not
belong. They do not belong in any way,
shape, or form with the Olympics. Coiporate
power has no place in amateur competition.
Proof of this point is the irony that the last
great moment in sports for the U.S.A. was
the completely amateur team that won the
Editor: Sally Seifert
The disgrace now brought to the Olympics
by the Salt Lake City bribery scandals
reveals a worldwide free-fall from ethics and
standards. It seems now, in the aftermath,
that everyone involved either takes bribes,
pays bribes, looks the other way, or just
doesn’t care. Bribery and corruption are, of
course, a way of life in all too many coun
tries. The whole point of the Olympics was
designed to prove that honest, fair, competi
tion in sport, could be a starting point for
honest, fair dealings between nations. What
the Olympics has become is a mirror of our
selves, nationalistic, grasping, greedy—a
charade, not a pretty picture. Perhaps the
Olympic motto of Higher, Faster, Farther
should be replaced with “just get it.”
Is it too late to try Rowland’s idea of white
suits?

Administrative Librarian
You Deserve the Best, and so do all our other borrowers:
Would you believe? We send out $100 in postage weekly for overdue notices (it
used to be $15 a week). Damaged library materials number into the thousands per
year. Water damaged books start a major deterioration process. When cassettes are
left in the sun in a hot car, tapes melt. A dog chewed comer shortens the life of a
book as pages break down. Sometimes we get books that have taken a bath along
with their borrowers...not good! Patrons must pay for damages plus a processing fee.
Could everybody please be more careful with library materials?

versity of Wisconsin, and Masters
Degree in library science from the
University of Pittsburgh. She was
formerly a Youth Services Librarian
at Northbrook Public Library, and
at Highland Park Library and

1, Number 2
My father used to bring home stray cats, and I
think he used the same process to choose his
friends. He brought home a cat that only had a
stump for a tail. Forever called “Tailless,” a car ac
cident had deprived him of his tail and no end of
vets could heal that stub right. The second cat
“Meowser’s" ears had been frozen off, leaving only
a hint that they should have been there in the first
place. We felt sorry for them, but we loved them
because they were great cats.
My Dad’s friends fit right in there with those cats.
Librarian in Hie Lobby
I have no clear idea what my Dad saw in those guys.
Now entering a fourth year, our suc
cessful Librarian in the Lobby offers
the opportunity for patrons to meet
with library administrators to speak
informally of library concerns. The
director and board members listen
to and follow through on patron
suggestions, when feasible. Librar
ian in the Lobby will be offered
Wednesday evenings from 7:309 p.m. December 6, January 3 and
February 7.
They weren’t fishing pals, or drinking buddies. They
had no other common linkage except they were all
as poorly equipped to cope with life as the cats.
Some of them even had frozen off appendages
One specimen had thirteen junked Corvairs and
nine operating motorcyles.
I could but I won’t name names. There was the
guy with fifteen dogs, who we called “Doggie.”
There was the guy who ran a saloon with a giant
live frog in the window, there was the well digger
who had six wives by the time he was thirty, there

he Reference Department
will offer classes on use of
the online computer catalog
and Infotrac gateway to magazine
articles and company information.
(This is not a class on using a per
sonal computer). Please reserve
space by calling Reference, or sign
ing the meeting reservation book.
Classes will be held Saturdays at
10 a.m. on January 13, January 27,
February 10 and February 24.
Here are some inside tips on use
of the computer catalog:
Key Word Searching—especially
helpful when you know only partial
information about a title (example:
you want to Find the series of books
with “gourmet” in the title-written
by a man named “Smith.”
American Heritage Electronic Dic
tionary—to check spelling and defi
nition of words and abbreviations.
InfoTrac: Business and Company
ASAP, Magazine Index Plus,
Health Index Plus—InfoTrac in
dexes periodical articles by subject
and includes the full text of some
articles.
Dial-up Access—to our computer
catalog-from home or business.
(Note: the InfoTrac databases are
available in library only.)
Young children can L
search the library's
j
holdings on a specialized “kids' computer
catalog” in the Youth
Services department.

�Librarian's DOSli (contined from page 1)
was the fisherman who could call up wild fish
that lived by the end of his dock, the root beer
bottler whose homemade soda “you opened
outside and caught it in a pail across the yard,"
there was the cheesemaker with the long raft
of floating oil drums that featured rocking
chairs for the fishermen, the car mechanic who
did dentistry. I don’t think he felt sorry for them,
though a lot of other people did, and I don’t
think he loved them all like we did the stray
cats. I do know he thought they were “color
ful" to use his own word.
What those friends came down to was
simple. Acceptance. Don't judge anyone by
what you see on the outside, friends are
friends, who you know are your friends, you
stick up for your friends whoever they are, and
friends don't judge friends. Also, rural Minne
sota did not give you many choices, though
among his group there was an All-American
basketball player, a WWII Marine Corps fighter
Ace, the best pheasant hunter in Washington
County, a sheriff, a priest, a guy covered com
pletely with naval tattoos and a Carnegie LifeSaving Gold Medal winner. They were differ
ent but never boring.
I chose my friends a lot differently, and I
have a far less interesting group to talk to than
my Dad did. I am afraid that this is endemic to
suburban life. Everyone I know is responsible,
has all his body parts, works for a living, has
college degrees, speaks perfect English in
complete sentences, and has straight teeth.
Having been back to Minnesota nine times in
the last two years has really made me wonder
who Garrison Keillor talks about when he de
scribes Minnesota, because I don't meet the
old-time characters there anymore than I do
here. However, it is a serious mistake to think
everyone is “just like us."
The book I am recommending this month
is In Confidence by Anatoly Dobrynin. As So
viet Foreign Minister he was a participant in
most of the Cold War's great confrontations.
Dobrynin knew all the international players
from Khrushchev to Reagan and sheds a clear
light on all the events that shaped our time.
The Bay of Pigs, Vietnam and Star Wars are
all illuminated by a distinctly different perspec
tive than we ever got from our newspapers or
television Duped by his own government
about the missiles in Cuba, cajoled by LBJ to
end the Vietnam war in 1965, Dobrynin was
at the center of crucial world events for over
thirty years and he has a lot to say about all of
it. I think we can learn a lot from these former
Cold Warriors that they learned the hard, hard
way, and that we should never forget.
—--- Jack A!fn Hicks. Administrative Librarian

Pictfon R§om Dedicated]
There are still a few patrons who ask,
“Where’s the fiction?” Others have already
discovered the newly restructured space on
the lower level of the library and the large
new elevator that provides direct access to
the 3,600 square foot room.
The fiction room now houses the en
tire fiction collection of 23,331 volumes
including all large print, mysteries, science
fiction and an expanded paperback collec
tion. The room meets the architect, staff,
library board and publics expectations of
being a quiet, restful, dignified, informal
area with excellent lighting. The room was
dedicated to Thomas E. Parfitt on Sunday,
September 17. Mr. Parfitt, Library Board
President for 20 years, gave his thanks and
appreciation to the large audience.
Bridget Lamont, Director of the Illlinois
State Library was an honored guest at the
dedication. Ms. Lamont commended the
unique use of existing space provided at no
extra cost to taxpayers. She also praised the
fact that a longtime library trustee was so
honored.
We thank Deerfield Bakery, Swansons
Blossom Shop, Bob Close, Hel’s Kitchen
and the Deerfield Garden Club for their
contributions to our successful event.

Fall 1993 saw the installation of the library’s
handicapped accessible front doors and the
addition of an outside video drop for pa
tron convenience.
Now a major priority for the library
board is efficient renovation of main floor
space which formerly housed the fiction
collection. It is possible that the fireplace
and current periodicals will be moved to
the former fiction area providing a pleas
ant reading space in a more peaceful lo
cation. This would increase shelf space
for the nonfiction collection and busi
ness room.
The Deerfield Public Library has received
an official document of Senate Recogni
tion from the Illinois Senate of the 89th
Assembly in recognition of outstanding
service to the community.
Our local author and Deerfield neigh
bor Lowell Komie has received the
prestigious Carl Sandburg Award for fic
tion for his The Lawyer's Chamber and
Other Stories from the Friends of the Chi
cago Public Library.

For the Deerfield Library, the past
year has been one of renovation,
transformation and technological
change. As we position the library
for the 21st century, we renew our
commitment to reading and to pro
viding the best possible book col
lection for a community of readers.
We now have a newly restructured
space dedicated to them....The
Thomas E. Parfitt Fiction Room.
Located on the lower level of the
library, the room houses the fiction
collection of 23,331 including large
print, mysteries, and science fiction.
A Reader Services Librarian will as
sist readers in book selection.

“Quiet, restful, dignified...informal but
ordered, bright accents...modified
Arts and Crafts style...with early
International Style, custom designed
furnishings.”
TTCue Space
Formerly underused space adds
37% adult public space and increases
book capacity 20%.
At the entrance, faux skylight
and mirrors provide a setting for the
Barbara Housekeeper sculpture
commissioned for 1971 library
opening. Gracing the free standing
wall, is the still life by Vilato
(a cousin of Picasso) donated to the
library in 1971 by Sara Lee.
Ceiling, with modified crown moul
ding, was raised to bring space in char
acter with the rest of the public area.
Quiet reading area is defined by
natural oak floor, dark walnut bor
der, and colorful Turkish rug. It
looks out on a lush, green garden.

Library Staff
Cindy Wargo has been appointed a full time
librarian at the Deerfield Library’s Reference
Desk. Familiar to many, she has worked part
time in Reference for almost 10 years. Cindy
holds her Masters
Degree in Library
Science from Uni
versity of Illinois
and was Phi Beta
Kappa as an under
graduate at Denison
University. For 11
years she worked for
Evanston Library in
positions ofcataloger,
reference librarian
and Head of Reference. She lives in Deerfield
with husband Jon and daughter Amy. Cindy
has many hobbies, but particularly enjoys the
“detective work” of tracking down answers
to challenging reference questions!
Julie Sowles is Acting Head of the Youth
Services Department. Sally Margolis, former
department head, has left her position to live
in another state.
Neiu Video Rules!
As we head into the winter months, you can
anticipate borrowing videos from the library
collection free of charge, exceptfor newerfea
turefilms. The library board voted to permit
Deerfield cardholders to check out older fea
ture films, childrens, travel and subject vid
eos free for two days. Overdue fines will be
fifty cents per day on these. New feature films
will still cost $ l but for only a two day check
out period and SI a day fine if overdue. It is
not possible to give an exact starting date,
since the computer system must be repro
grammed to accomodate the new loan pro
cedure. As always, you must be 18 or older
to check out videos.
The Young People's Summer Reading Club
was a “tree-mendous” success, as 801 readers
participated. 55 S’T“A"R‘ volunteers helped
librarians, and PALS were reading buddies
with young readers.
The Solve Mysteries-Read! Adult Reading
Club attracted 160 busy readers. Their suggested readings will be shared in handouts
this fall.
