My Uncle Alan
to played golf with
Babe Ruth. Ruth
was barnstorming
across the country
with cronies and stopped, for reasons
unknown, in my Uncle’s hometown
of Rockwell City, Iowa. He wanted to
play golf and asked for the top golfer
in town as a partner. That was my
Uncle, then a teenager, Alan Voss.
Aside from family photos and
memories and faded “Rockwell City
Advocate” newspaper clippings, that
minor piece of Rockwell City history
is lost forever in the vast series of
events that happen in towns small
and large across our country. Oh, yes,
Alan won the golf match. My Mother
always said the Babe was driving a
“big, open, yellow touring car”
himself.
Such oral history and family
stories enrich our past and have
much to tell us today. These stories
tell us where we came from and who
we are. Unfortunately, this kind of
history seldom gets written down and
then is lost forever. Everybody has a
story to tell and we want to collect

Long Range Plan Continues to Develop
By Sunday Mueller, Board President
Over the last year the Library Board of Trustees has been hard at work in developing a
long range plan for the Deerfield Library. When it is finalized, the board will release
its written plan to stand as a blueprint for the future. Key components of the plan will
include both the library’s operations and facilities.
Public Opinion Laboratories (POL) of Northern Illinois University conducted a
telephone survey this past spring, completing 1,000 interviews with Deerfield,
Bannockburn and Riverwoods residents. Many of the respondents especially valued the
library’s accessible location and Children’s Department. The Adult Fiction Room
received high marks and there was a stated desire to enhance the audiovisual and non
fiction holdings. Other respondents indicated use of multiple libraries, and the data was
helpful in providing insights about the reasons for that use.
Hoping to gather in depth opinions about the library, the Board commissioned
POL to conduct focus groups. Twelve focus groups were held over the summer with
ten different subgroups of residents. Grouping the participants allowed the moderator
to explore issues of special interest to that particular group. As one might expect, the
opinions from these groups were varied but common themes were identified.
Since the library’s current physical space is fully utilized, we hired Anders
Dahlgren of Library Planning Associates, Inc. to assess the current space needs of the
library. Using more conventional space allocations (wider aisles, lower shelving) as
well as the proper amount of seating space, it would take a building about 50% larger
just to house our current holdings and services. Dahlgren is now working on an
estimate of long range space needs based on projected holdings, program of services,
new services and overall projected growth for the next 25 years.
As we continue this process, there will be more information needed and many
options examined. As you can guess, the board has spent many hours on this project
and knows there are many more ahead. The board is totally committed to creating a
vision that best meets the needs of current and future library users — using the
interviews, focus groups and space needs study as a source of direction. We will share
this vision as it unfolds in ftiture issues of Browsing.

Barns never fell down when I was a kid. Yet as
you drive across rural America today that is the com
mon denominator of all states-barns falling down. I
have been struck by this phenomenon for quite some
time and I am pretty sure about what it means. Is it
the rise of absentee landlords, loss of output, lack of
self respect, closing out of the smaller farms, or what
I suspect most: a continued depopulation of rural
America? Actually it is all of these things, and more.
This represents a real change for the heartland
of America. No longer the rock-ribbed center of our
society, rural America now is owned and managed
by large real estate conglomerates, populated during
desirable weather by rich urban rusticators Land not
given over to rustication by urban dudes in their pickup
trucks and useless four-wheel drives has been sec
onded into giant 3000 acre farms churning out a gross
national agricultural product big enough to feed China.
All overseen by banks more interested in the bottom
line than abstractions like rural life.
These events force more and more rural folks off
the lands, raise their taxes, close them out of land
ownership, and give the most choice parcels to city

continued from pagel
people. Of course they let their barns fall
down. But what is this doing to us as a
society? Seeing my grandparents’ home
town of Rockwell City. Iowa not as a cru
cible of commerce, or trumpet of trade, but
as a forlorn relic really hurts. Where are
all the rural Americans, why did they go.
and where do they live now?
The reasons are almost as simple as
the enclosure laws that preceded the In
dustrial Revolution. Farms expanded in
size as units of service, the 1970's and
1980's bankrupted what was left of the
family farm, herbicides, pesticides and a
liquid nitrogen changed the way anything
is raised in America. When I was a kid, a
large hog farm was 100 porkers. Today,
across America, a large hog operation is
a hundred thousand hogs fouling the air
and water for five hundred square miles.
Not only a change in farming, but a mas
sive incursion into the environment as well
as the social strata of rural America. In
urban Chicago welfare is a code word for
racism; in rural America welfare means
half the shrunken population of any given
county.
Why mourn these changes? I suppose
at the basic level it is a feeling for me of a
personal loss of identity. I knew and iden
tified with a way of life that is gone forever.
But I also mourn the loss of a value sys
tem that placed family first, hard work and
industry second, with education underlay
ing both ideas. Instead of a therapist, a tight
knit circle of relatives and friends provided
support and comfort. I look at my grand
parents' home and remember a college
professor, banker, a head of a Fortune 500
company who grew up there. Now it looks
like someone who married his sister lives
there.
Where they all went is a mystery to me.
Many went on to college and never looked
back, others disappeared into low-paying
industrial jobs in the rust belt. But so many
characters I knew as a kid could never sur
vive in the city—no skills, eccentric beyond
description, independent beyond taming.
A rough-hewn class of rough cobs, who
could shoot out a pheasant’s eye at a hun

FALL, 1993
DEERFIELD PUBLIC LIBRARY
Across the
Librarian’s Desk
iving in suburban Lake County it
is easy to forget that Illinois has a
historical past as rich and varied
as any state in the USA. We all know about
Abraham Lincoln, but the story of Illinois
is an incredible tapestry of people and
events that cover far more than only one
man. For instance, how many people
know that George Rogers Clark marched a
Revolutionary War army straight across
Illinois to attack the fort at Vincennes,
Indiana, from the west? Or, that at its
peak, Cahokia Mounds was one of the
largest cities in the world?

Nauvoo, Galena, Shawnee Town and the
Cahokia Mounds—a site of such interna
tional importance that it has UNESCO
protection. Luckily, you do not have to go
very far to experience our own history.
This year marks the 25th anniversary of
the Deerfield Area Historical Society and
Historic Village. The Society was here
when I moved to Deerfield 21 years ago
and I assumed it had been a Deerfield fix
ture for ever—and was somehow selfperpetuating. Jo Gourley says it best,
"Thousands of hours of dedication, devo

whole Historic Village."
What I have learned over time, of course,
is that the Historic Village is not self-per

Library Can Serve Special Needs
To comply with the new Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA), the Deerfield
Library is in the process of installing a new
accessible elevator, accessible restrooms,
lowered telephone, lowered Circulation
Desk, lowered drinking fountains, assisted
door openers, ramps, signage, and new
door hardware.
The Library has also added a Visual-Tek
magnifying reader, a TDD telephone for
communications and will add a new ADA
catalog terminal. The Chicagoland Radio
Information Service has also provided
two radios which offer news from local
newspapers for patron use. If you or anyone
you know requires any accommodation
or if you have a question about ADA
compliance, please call the Administrative
Librarian at 945-3311.
The library maintains a large selection of
large print books, books on tape, and has
home delivery through our Books-To-Go
program. We also can be a contact for the
Library of Congress talking book program,
The Library staff is always interested in
your suggestions.
It Would Help Us If:
• You bring your library card when you want
to take out a book. In lieu of your card,
you must have a valid i.d.
• Should you lose a book and need to pay for
it, we must replace the book; do not
bring us your replacement.
0 If you have ordered an interlibrary loan
book, we will call when it arrives. Please be
\ sure to pick it up. Library statistics show that
the average cost for a completed interlibrary
loan transaction can be $30. This is a free
service to our patrons.
• If your community organization needs to
book a meeting room, one of your group
must have a Deerfield Library card.
Reservations may only be made 3 months
in advance.
Librarian in the Library
Jack Hicks, Library Director and a member
of the Board of Trustees will continue their
successful monthly "in person suggestion
box" on Tuesday, September 14 from 7 to 9
p.m. They will meet the public informally
in the front lobby to listen to ideas, con
cerns and plaudits from community resi
dents. Librarian in the Lobby will also
meet the public on Monday evenings,
October 11 and November 8.

orty years ago in November, right after
Ike's 1952 election, my Dad put up our
Christmas tree. He was sure that my
oldest brother, fighting far away in Korea,
would be home soon and wanted the tree
there to greet him.
That tree stayed up until June of 1953. There
were so many expectations like that in
1952—with a new and trusted president
coming into office—we thought everything
was possible. Taking my tree down this
year, I was struck by those

Forty years ago that tree my Dad put up
symbolized my family's desire for peace
and tranquillity. We lived at the end of an
18 mile dirt road and you could see those
lights in our window for miles across the
snow as we came home at night. We all
wanted our favorite brother home safe,
away from deadly harm and death he faced
every day. He saw the Pusan Perimeter,
Yalu River and the frozen Chosin, and we
knew exactly what that meant. Seeing "his"
tree every day gave us great comfort.
I remember that winter of hopefulness very
clearly—and how our optimism never
faded, even as the tree shriveled. That tree
became an unsspoken magic in our house—
we wouldn't take it down because it was
somehow protecting my brother. So many

individually. Ms. Chapin works
with children, adolescents,
adults, and families in this
interesting field in which
psychotherapists are harnessing
art's universal language to better
diagnose and treat the disturbed.
Communicating by non-verbal
expression provides a means of
reconciling emotional conflicts
and fostering self-awareness and
growth. Join us as she illustrates
the theory.
LIVING WITH YOUR 3 TO 5
WHAT'S
YEAR OLD
NORMAL? Tuesday, October
6th at 7:30 pm
The popular child and adult
therapist, Susan Sack, returns

This popular talk has been
presented for several years to
enthusiastic parents who have
the opportunity to ask questions
during the discussion period. Ms.
Sack is an accredited member of
ACSW and has a private practice
in Northbrook.
NATIONAL ISSUES FORUMWHAT IS IT?
NIF is a non-partisan coalition
working to provide an
opportunity for citizens to
educate themselves on important
issues and have their views heard
in the policy making process.
Americans have gathered in their
communities across the nation
each Fall since 1982 to discuss
three public issues of national
concern. The reading materials,
which all participants study, are
rigorously non-partisan.
Fall 1987 Adult Programs
SELECTING THE RIGHT
HEALTH INSURANCE PLAN
Wednesday, October 7th at 7:30
pm
Citizens are being flooded
with confusing mail soliciting
enrollment in accident
insurance, hospital plans.
Medicare supplement plans,
catastrophic medical insurance
plans, and many other varieties
of health plans. They are turning
on their televisions to view
health insurance advertising
which implies financial disaster.
They are even receiving
information from their current
health insurance carriers
suggesting that they convert to a
better plan and/or subscribe to
additional plans.
Medical problems are
commonplace particularly in the
"golden years" and medical
costs are indeed costly. Having
proper coverage is important.
Everyone wants "adequate"
coverage but few really
understand what is needed or
even what is covered. Because of
this lack of understanding and
fear of financial doom, many
individuals purchase too much
developed to show all sides and
to help clarify the policy
choices. Local forums all address
the same three domestic issues, a
coordination that makes the
results of great interest to policy
makers.
This year the topics are:
1. Freedom of Speech- Where
to Draw the Line
2. The Superpowers- Nuclear
Weapons and National
Security
3. The Trade Gap- Regaining
the Competitive Edge
Non-partisan sessions
encourage airing all sides of an
insurance or inadequate plans.
Information and issues involved
in this decision-making process
of "Selecting the Right Health
Insu ranee Plan r • will be
addressed by Carolyn Shear.
Carolyn Shear earned her B.S.
and M.S.W. degrees at the
University of Illinois. She was an
instructor of Social Work in The
College of Medicine at the
University of Illinois and a
medical social worker at the
University of Illinois Research
and Educational Hospital. She
was medical assistant and
secretary to the Chairman of the
Department of Orthopedics,
Northwestern University. Three
years ago she started a health
insurance service providing
clients with complete
management of medical bills and
insurance claims. Her extensive
experience has given her insights
as to individual needs and health
insurance plans. She does not
sell insurance or have any
affiliation with any insurance
company or insurance broker.
issue and work toward some
common understandings. Those
of you who have participated in
our "Great Decisions" program,
will see the similarity but
whereas "Great Decisions" deals
with foreign policy, the thrust in
Ii
National Issues Forum" is
toward domestic problems (For
example, last year the topics
were "Crime," "The Farm
Problem," and "Immigration").
If you would like to join a
National Issues Study Circle,
please call Peggy McCabe, Adult
Services Librarian, to express
your interest. With enough
responses, we'll plan an evening
time to meet.
