workshop to discuss the concept<br />
of user fees as they relate<br />
to our amenities. This topic was<br />
broached by property owners and<br />
submitted through several board<br />
members.<br />
<strong>The</strong> board at large had not discussed<br />
this topic. Management<br />
conducted a brief survey to ascertain<br />
how the property owners<br />
viewed user fees for amenities.<br />
Input from the property owners<br />
indicated that 65 percent were<br />
not in favor of establishing user<br />
fees as a source of revenue on<br />
GTA amenities.<br />
<strong>The</strong> board asked for input from<br />

Operating Management Team Update<br />
A Focus on Summer Initiatives<br />
By JOE MATTINGLEY<br />
GTA General Manager<br />
<strong>The</strong> countdown continues with<br />
less than 50 days remaining for<br />
our current<br />
outdoor pool<br />
before deconstructionbegins<br />
on August<br />
15. In this<br />
month’s report,<br />
in addition to<br />
an update on<br />
Joe<br />
Mattingley<br />
the new Pool/<br />
R e c r e a t i o n<br />
C o m p l e x<br />
project, I’ll<br />
touch on a few other key projects<br />
that are top of mind for staff<br />
this summer.<br />
POOL/RECREATION COMPLEX<br />
At the end of February, <strong>2011</strong>,<br />
all the construction documents for<br />
this complicated project were approved<br />
by the Board of Directors.<br />
<strong>The</strong> very next day, Conlon<br />
Construction, our construction<br />
manager on the project, began<br />
separating the drawings into specific<br />
categories to assemble the<br />
bid packets. This detailed and<br />
painstaking work took approximately<br />
two months. Individual<br />
bid packets were sent out for<br />
general construction work, concrete,<br />
masonry, roofing, swimming<br />
pools, HVAC, plumbing,<br />
electrical, to name just a few of<br />
the 15 total categories. As part of<br />
this process, Conlon also worked<br />
with Williams Architects to identify<br />
some “value engineering”<br />
opportunities. Value engineering<br />
is the process of finding ways<br />
to reduce costs without jeopardizing<br />
the value or integrity of<br />
the overall project.<br />
<strong>The</strong> bids came back in May,<br />
at which time Conlon, Williams<br />
Architects and GTA management<br />
reviewed and discussed the<br />
information and prepared their<br />
recommendations to the Board of<br />
Directors. At the May 21 Board<br />
of Directors Meeting the board<br />
approved the recommendations<br />
from Conlon Construction for<br />
the majority of the contracts for<br />
the Pool/Recreation Complex,<br />
pending final negotiations with<br />
each contractor. <strong>The</strong> individual<br />
contractors have also been asked<br />
to look for value engineering opportunities<br />
to reduce their individual<br />
costs. <strong>The</strong> few remaining<br />
categories will go out for rebids<br />
later in the year.<br />
At this point in the process,<br />
the cost for the entire project is<br />
$6,182,387, slightly higher than<br />
the target of $5.9 - $6.1 million.<br />
We’ll be closely monitoring costs,<br />
along with the Budget and Audit<br />
Committee and the entire Board<br />
of Directors to ensure your dollars<br />
are spent appropriately.<br />
While we do have a contingency<br />
built into the budget, the recent<br />
weather-related events (tornadoes<br />
and floods in the U.S.; tsunami in<br />
Japan) coupled with the value of<br />
the dollar and higher commodity<br />
costs, are sending the cost of construction<br />
materials skyward. We<br />
have our work cut out for us. We<br />
will continue to make decisions<br />
as to what is in, and what is out<br />
of the planned construction, to<br />
keep this project as cost effective<br />
as possible.<br />
FINANCING THE POOL/<br />
RECREATION COMPLEX<br />
We were able to reduce the cost<br />
of our $5.5 million line of credit<br />
from 5.75 percent to 5.375 percent<br />
last spring, thanks to First<br />
Community Bank of <strong>Galena</strong>.<br />
That will save the Association<br />
approximately $200,000 over 15<br />
years. And remember that $146<br />
per year that had been collected<br />
annually to pay off the Owners’<br />
Club expansion? As we communicated<br />
with all property<br />
owners in March of 2010 in the<br />
Pool/Recreation Complex survey<br />
packet: “Currently $146 of each<br />
annual assessment is used to<br />
repay the mortgage for the addition<br />
to the Owners’ Club built in<br />
2004. <strong>The</strong> Board plans to repay<br />
the mortgage in 2010 using surplus<br />
operating cash; however, the<br />
Debt Retirement Fund amount<br />
will continue through <strong>2011</strong> and<br />
2012 with those funds being set<br />
aside to reduce the amount of<br />
financing required for the Pool/<br />
Recreation Complex project.”<br />
By the end of 2012, those funds<br />
will have amassed approximately<br />
$680,000. In addition, thanks to<br />
some forward thinking by past<br />
Budget and Audit Committees,<br />
we have been reserving dollars<br />
since 2008 for renovations to the<br />
current pool complex that were<br />
postponed due to the deconstruction<br />
that will take place this fall.<br />
<strong>The</strong>se dollars equal $418,000<br />
already reserved for the new<br />
Pool/Recreation Complex. All<br />
together, we will have over $1<br />
million saved for the complex,<br />
which will reduce the amount of<br />
money we need to borrow from<br />
the bank. We doubt we will need<br />
KEEP YOUR QUESTIONS COMING!<br />
Members of the Board of Directors and the GTA<br />
management team are always available to answer<br />
questions from property owners, 360 days of the<br />
year. (Remember, the GTA is closed five days each<br />
year.) Contact information is available on page<br />
five of the <strong>Territory</strong> Times every month. If you<br />
have a question, make a call, send an e-mail or just<br />
stop by the GTA Administrative Office. We’d like<br />
to hear from you!<br />
to access the full $5.5 million<br />
line of credit.<br />
I can assure you that this<br />
project will be top of mind for<br />
all of us in the months to come.<br />
You’ll be hearing more details<br />
throughout the construction<br />
project.<br />
REVISIONS TO THE GTA’S<br />
GENERAL DECLARATION<br />
OF COVENANTS AND<br />
RESTRICTIONS<br />
<strong>The</strong> General Declaration of<br />
Covenants and Restrictions for<br />
the GTA was established on<br />
<strong>July</strong> 23, 1973, by <strong>The</strong> Branigar<br />
Organization, Inc., the original<br />
developer of <strong>The</strong> <strong>Galena</strong><br />
<strong>Territory</strong>. <strong>The</strong> Declaration provides<br />
a basis to “create thereon<br />
a planned community development<br />
provided with common<br />
properties designed for the private<br />
use of owners within such<br />
development.” All decisions,<br />
directions and policies developed<br />
over the past 37 years are<br />
aligned and in compliance with<br />
this fundamental GTA governing<br />
document. As specified in the<br />
Declaration, changes or amendments<br />
can only be brought forward<br />
for consideration of the<br />
membership every ten years.<br />
<strong>The</strong> next date for any changes<br />
is 2013.<br />
In order to meet this deadline,<br />
the Legal, Bylaws and<br />
Arbitration Committee poured<br />
over this primary governing<br />
document for the Association in<br />
2010 to determine if any changes<br />
or updates were warranted. <strong>The</strong>y<br />
identified several revisions that<br />
were recommended to the Board<br />
of Directors and were approved<br />
in late 2010. Upon board approval,<br />
the process to actually<br />
amend the Declaration became a<br />
staff responsibility. To finalize<br />
the process by 2013, we will be<br />
adhering to the following timeline:<br />
• Written notice to members<br />
begins on <strong>July</strong> 1, <strong>2011</strong>. This<br />
includes individual mailings to<br />
property owners, this article in<br />
the <strong>Territory</strong> Times, and postings<br />
on the GTA’s Web site.<br />
• GTA members will vote from<br />
Nov. 1, <strong>2011</strong>, through <strong>July</strong> 9,<br />
2012. Ongoing reminders will<br />
be included in future <strong>Territory</strong><br />
Times articles, e-blasts and Web<br />
postings.<br />
• Amendments are to be recorded<br />
as soon as two-thirds of<br />
the members have voted in favor<br />
of the amendments and/or no<br />
later than <strong>July</strong> 25, 2012.<br />
• Changes will not take effect<br />
until <strong>July</strong> 26, 2013 if approved<br />
by the membership.<br />
MEMBER SURVEY COMING<br />
SOON<br />
Later this year all property<br />
owners will have the opportunity<br />
to participate in a Member<br />
Survey that will collect base-<br />

Results from the survey will<br />
become an input to our strategic<br />
planning process. Thanks<br />
to the Long Range Planning<br />
Committee for developing the<br />
baseline questions.<br />
In closing, summer is an especially<br />
exciting time for family<br />
and friends in <strong>The</strong> <strong>Territory</strong>. <strong>The</strong><br />
<strong>July</strong> Fourth Holiday weekend<br />
in particular has so much to<br />
offer from the Just Show Up<br />
Social on Friday evening; the<br />
Kids’ Fishing Contest and<br />
Star-Spangled Shenandoah Pro<br />
Rodeo (with spectacular fireworks<br />
display) on Saturday<br />
evening; the Farmers’ Market,<br />
Third Annual Dog Show and a<br />
repeat rodeo performance with<br />
fireworks on Sunday evening…<br />

after the new Pool/Recreation<br />
Complex is completed, and redesigning<br />
the lobby area.<br />
4. President’s Report<br />
President Peterson reported<br />
that four companies submitted<br />
strategic planning proposals<br />
and the Strategic Planning Task<br />
Force of Nancy Peterson, Tom<br />
Rivera, Sue Hinrichsen and Joe<br />
Mattingley narrowed the candidates<br />
down to two companies,<br />
which have been invited to make<br />
presentations to the board on<br />
Tuesday, May 31, <strong>2011</strong> at 10<br />
a.m.<br />
5. <strong>The</strong> Treasurer provided a<br />
verbal and written financial report<br />
to the board and it was filed<br />
for audit by general consent<br />
without objection.<br />
6. It was moved and seconded<br />
(Fisher, Scully) to approve the<br />
consent agenda consisting of the<br />
following items: the minutes of<br />
the previous meeting held April<br />
16, <strong>2011</strong>; appointment of Frank<br />
McMahon to the Architectural<br />
Review Committee effective<br />
June, <strong>2011</strong>, and appointment<br />
of John Lorenzen and Tom<br />
Sprague to the Legal, Bylaws<br />
and Arbitration Committee effective<br />
immediately. Approved:<br />
unanimously.<br />
7. Reports<br />
a. Management<br />
i. Susan Miller reviewed<br />
the Major Repairs and<br />
Replacements 25-year plan, how<br />
it is reviewed annually and how<br />
it is used in the preparation of<br />
the annual budget.<br />
ii. <strong>The</strong> fencing bids for the<br />
north field at the Shenandoah<br />
Riding Center were received<br />
and awarded. <strong>The</strong> contractor<br />
was asked to finish the work<br />
before the <strong>July</strong> 4th rodeo events<br />
as noted in the request for proposal.<br />
iii. <strong>The</strong> Nominating<br />
Committee recommended that<br />
assessments for board members<br />
be deferred annually. However,<br />
due to the GTA’s governing documents,<br />
the board cannot waive<br />
assessments. <strong>The</strong> board does<br />
have the authority to set up a per<br />
diem if they so desire. <strong>The</strong> committee<br />
will revisit the recommendation.<br />
iv. <strong>The</strong> engineering plans<br />
are being finalized for the repairs<br />
to the hillside near Thunder<br />
Bay Falls Park and the cost estimate<br />
is ranging between $75,000<br />
and $80,000. Once the permits<br />
for the work are received, the<br />
project will go out to bid and the<br />
Association will have better cost<br />
estimates.<br />
v. Joe Mattingley complimented<br />
the company hired to<br />
do the dredging of the Marina<br />
basin. <strong>The</strong>y have been great to<br />
work with and management was<br />
pleased to report that they are<br />
dredging down to hard pan.<br />
vi. Joe Mattingley reported<br />
that a number of amendments<br />
were submitted for the Illinois<br />
Common Interest Community<br />
Association Act (CICA) and a<br />
majority of them were accepted,<br />
including: the ability to use a<br />
regular publication such as the<br />
<strong>Territory</strong> Times to distribute the<br />
budget to the membership; the<br />
fidelity insurance coverage requirement<br />
was modified to include<br />
operating funds only (not<br />
reserves), and a new item has<br />
been added as permissible to discuss<br />
in executive session, namely<br />
third-party contracts.<br />
b. General Counsel<br />
At President Peterson’s request,<br />
attorney Tony Quinn dis-<br />
<strong>Territory</strong> Times<br />
cussed what a board member is<br />
legally required to do as outlined<br />
in the Illinois Not For Profit<br />
Corporation Act, CICA, Illinois<br />
Condominium Property Act and<br />
the GTA’s governing documents.<br />
He will submit a written report.<br />
c. Committees – Updates<br />
from committees beyond what<br />
was provided in the written reports<br />
in the board packet.<br />
i. <strong>The</strong> Architectural<br />
Review Committee met with<br />
two property owners to resolve<br />
issues with the committee and<br />
they have appeared to come to<br />
amicable resolutions to both issues.<br />
<strong>The</strong> committee also approved<br />
a change to the tear-down<br />
policy, which will be forwarded<br />
to the board next month. <strong>The</strong><br />
committee is now reviewing<br />
exterior lighting regulations.<br />
Finally, there were 112 letters<br />
sent following the annual inspections<br />
and there was no response<br />
from 18 owners. <strong>The</strong> committee<br />
is following the approved<br />
Inspection Enforcement Policy<br />
and registered letters have been<br />
sent to those owners.<br />
ii. <strong>The</strong> Nominating<br />
Committee met and went back to<br />
square one to identify why there<br />
is so much difficulty getting candidates<br />
and what the road blocks<br />
are for recruiting candidates.<br />
One idea is to educate possible<br />
candidates as to what it takes<br />
to be a board member and the<br />
responsibilities involved before<br />
they are elected. <strong>The</strong> committee<br />
is considering eliminating the interview<br />
process.<br />
iii. <strong>The</strong> Long Range<br />
Planning Committee will meet<br />
on June 3 to discuss the budget<br />
requests submitted.<br />
8. Action Items<br />
a. It was moved and seconded<br />
(Kimball, Kalant) to approve<br />
the recommendations from<br />
construction manager Conlon<br />
Construction for all 15 contracts<br />
for the Pool/Recreation<br />
Complex, pending final negotiations<br />
with each contractor.<br />
Discussion: Paul Kalb of<br />
Conlon Construction gave a presentation<br />
on the bids received<br />
and noted that the project was<br />
broken down into 15 contracts.<br />
He stated that the market is still<br />
strong, but material prices are<br />
climbing daily. Mr. Kalb reviewed<br />
a worksheet showing the<br />
budget numbers and reviewed<br />
value engineering recommendations<br />
that will reduce the overall<br />
cost without compromising the<br />
integrity of the project, such as<br />
deleting the emergency generator.<br />
<strong>The</strong> board discussed the construction<br />
schedule. Mr. Kalb<br />
noted that weather is the biggest<br />
variable for this project and<br />
that a tentative schedule was included<br />
in the bid specifications<br />
so the contractors understood the<br />
intent to open the new facility<br />
next May. He indicated we need<br />
a good fall to get the project on<br />
track. He feels it is prudent to<br />
lock in the contractors as soon as<br />
possible so that they can develop<br />
shop drawings and address lead<br />
times on material deliveries.<br />
<strong>The</strong> preliminary bids are now<br />
at $6,182,000 and Conlon will<br />
continue to work on value engineering<br />
cost reductions as the<br />
project moves forward. President<br />
Peterson thanked Conlon<br />
Construction for their value engineering<br />
efforts.<br />

Joe Mattingley noted that<br />
Williams Architects may need<br />
additional fees to redraw parts<br />
of the plans due to value engineering<br />
recommendations.<br />
In February 2010, the board<br />
met and approved a specific financing<br />
plan to accommodate<br />
construction costs. Fran Peterson<br />
noted that the board-approved<br />
down payment is on target and,<br />
while the cost is slightly higher,<br />
the interest rate for the loan is<br />
lower. She noted that estimated<br />
operating costs have increased<br />
slightly from what was originally<br />
presented.<br />
Approved: unanimously.<br />
b. It was moved and seconded<br />
(Hinrichsen, Fisher) to<br />
approve the goals established<br />
for the board and management<br />
through April 2012.<br />
Discussion: Dennis Scully<br />
requested that the staff goal<br />
number 8 be modified to note<br />
that we are proceeding with repairs<br />
to the hillside near Thunder<br />
Bay Falls Park. Joe Mattingley<br />
reported that the committee<br />
goals will be presented for approval<br />
in June.<br />
Approved: unanimously.<br />
c. It was moved and seconded<br />
(F. Peterson, Fisher) that<br />
the board approve the resolution<br />
drafted by attorney Tony Quinn<br />
to execute loan documents with<br />
the First Community Bank and<br />
to authorize President Nancy<br />
Peterson and General Manager<br />
Joe Mattingley to execute draws<br />
or other documents related with<br />
the loan documents.<br />
Discussion: Fran Peterson<br />
noted that the board will need<br />
a new resolution in March 2012<br />
Continued on Page 9
www.thegalenaterritory.com<br />
Continued from Page 8<br />
if Nancy Peterson is no longer<br />
President. Joe Mattingley noted<br />
that the loan allows the GTA<br />
to borrow up to $5.5 million at<br />
5.375 percent interest, but at the<br />
moment it appears we will only<br />
need to borrow $5.1 million.<br />
Approved: unanimously.<br />
d. It was moved and seconded<br />
(Kimball, Kalant) that<br />
the board approve and present<br />
to the membership for ratification<br />
at the next Annual Meeting<br />
of the members, a recommendation<br />
of the Legal, Bylaws and<br />
Arbitration Committee to amend<br />
Article IX, Directors’ Meetings,<br />
Section 4 of the Bylaws to read:<br />
“A majority of the members<br />
of the board shall constitute a<br />
quorum.”<br />
Discussion: Bill Kimball reported<br />
that under the current<br />
bylaw, one board member could<br />
show up and call it a board<br />
meeting, but that would be<br />
highly unlikely due to the notice<br />
requirements.<br />
Approved: unanimously.<br />
e. It was moved and seconded<br />
(Kimball, Kalant) that<br />
the board approve and present<br />
to the membership for ratification<br />
at the next Annual Meeting<br />
of the members, a recommendation<br />
of the Legal, Bylaws and<br />
Arbitration Committee to amend<br />
Article XI, Committees, Section<br />
3 of the Bylaws to read: “<strong>The</strong><br />

NEXT GTA BOARD MEETING<br />
SATURDAY, JULY 23 AT 9 A.M.<br />
OWNERS CLUB SOCIAL HALL<br />
ject to review under the approved<br />
GTA Dispute Resolution Policy<br />
as authorized under these Bylaws<br />
at Article XVII, Section 1.”<br />
Discussion: Bill Kimball<br />
noted that there was an error<br />
with numbering in the original<br />
bylaw and additional verbiage<br />
that is covered in the rule for<br />
Dispute Resolution was deleted.<br />
Approved: unanimously.<br />
f. It was moved and seconded<br />
(F. Peterson, Scully) to<br />
authorize use of the Emergency<br />
Expense line item in the <strong>2011</strong><br />
Operating budget for the study,<br />
engineering and bid procedures<br />
for the project to stabilize the<br />
hillside near Thunder Bay Falls<br />
Park.<br />
Discussion: Dave Oldenburg<br />
reported that Fehr-Graham<br />
is finalizing the engineering<br />
specifications and he is preparing<br />
the permits required for<br />
the Army Corps of Engineers,<br />
I l l i n o i s E nv i r o n m e n t a l<br />
Protection Agency (EPA) and the<br />
Illinois Department of Natural<br />
Resources, since the project<br />
requires removal of rock from<br />
the creek below the dam. <strong>The</strong><br />
GTA is working with the East<br />
<strong>Galena</strong> Road Commissioner as<br />
the hillside that is sloughing off<br />
is within 15 feet of Thunder Bay<br />
Road. A rough estimate for the<br />
project is $75,000 to $80,000,<br />
but that may change once the<br />
work begins to dig into the hillside.<br />
Approved: unanimously.<br />
g. It was moved and seconded<br />
(Fisher, Kalant) to approve<br />
the revised Emergency<br />
Expense Policy as presented.<br />
MOTION WITHDRAWN.<br />
Discussion: <strong>The</strong> proposed revisions<br />
are to correct and clarify<br />
the policy. <strong>The</strong> policy applies<br />
only to the Emergency Expense<br />
line item in the Operating budget<br />
and the funds remain in the<br />
Operating account if not used. It<br />
was noted that this could be used<br />
for a project that was not fully<br />
covered by insurance. It was recommended<br />
that the third paragraph<br />
title should be changed<br />
to “Establishing the Emergency<br />
Expense Fund.”<br />
It was moved and seconded<br />
(Fisher, F. Peterson) to approve<br />
the Emergency Expense Policy<br />
as presented and amended.<br />
Approved: unanimously.<br />
h. It was moved and seconded<br />
(F. Peterson, Fisher) to<br />
approve the revised Operating<br />
and Capital Funds Policy<br />
as presented. MOTION<br />
WITHDRAWN.<br />
Discussion: <strong>The</strong> revisions<br />
clarified the language of the<br />
previous policy. It was recommended<br />
that the definition of<br />
assessments include all contributions<br />
to the Operating and<br />
Capital funds.<br />
It was moved and seconded<br />
(F. Peterson, Fisher) to approve<br />
the Operating and Capital<br />
Funds Policy as presented and<br />
amended.<br />
Approved: unanimously.<br />

Joe Mattingley reported on a<br />
recent meeting with Jo Daviess<br />
County Building and Zoning<br />
Officer Linda Delvaux, who<br />
noted that the quarry was in<br />
compliance with the terms of<br />
the current SUP.<br />
Cary Kalant requested an appraisal<br />
of the area to determine<br />
if the location near the quarry<br />
affects the value of those properties.<br />
GM Mattingley’s concern<br />
is whether that should be<br />
done now, or if we should wait<br />
until the quarry operation applies<br />
for a new SUP at which<br />
time an appraisal completed<br />
now may no longer be valid.<br />
Mr. Kalant will write a motion<br />
for consideration at the next<br />
meeting. President Peterson<br />
noted we need a funding source<br />
as well.<br />
Mr. Kalant also asked about<br />
the quantity of sediment being<br />
dredged from Lake <strong>Galena</strong> and<br />
requested that the Chicago environmental<br />
firm be hired to<br />
investigate that aspect only.<br />
Tony Quinn will review the<br />
Illinois Drainage Act and prepare<br />
an opinion as to a property<br />
owner’s responsibilities under<br />
the Act.<br />
Dave Oldenburg will contact<br />
the Soil and Water<br />
Conservation District for any<br />
available documentation about<br />
458792-01A(10GTA11<br />
rainfall records, history of<br />
runoff and silt movement, and<br />
land use in the watershed.<br />
10. New Business<br />
a. Jack Fisher noted<br />
that the Budget and Audit<br />
Committee is requesting that<br />
all budget requests include financial<br />
and non-financial benefits.<br />
b. Cary Kalant recommends<br />
we change the<br />
Recreation office to a business<br />
office in the future, and<br />
asked management to look at<br />
replacing the entrance fixture<br />
to match the others.<br />

served on a board know why<br />
they did it and why they would<br />
do it again. <strong>The</strong>re are, however,<br />

a board or need<br />
someone else<br />
to encourage<br />
them to do so.<br />
So we ask you,<br />
the people<br />
who have a<br />
stake in this,<br />
to take a look<br />
around and invite<br />
someone<br />
whom you think could and should<br />
serve…to serve. Even better, consider<br />
being a candidate yourself.<br />

Mandatory Powers and Duties of the Board of Directors<br />
By TONY QUINN<br />
GTA Legal Counsel<br />
This is the first in a two-part<br />
series detailing the mandatory<br />
and discretionary powers and<br />
duties that are most relevant and<br />
applicable to the directors of <strong>The</strong><br />
<strong>Galena</strong> <strong>Territory</strong> Association,<br />
Inc.<br />
<strong>The</strong> elected directors of <strong>The</strong><br />
<strong>Galena</strong> <strong>Territory</strong> Association,<br />
Inc., like the directors of any<br />
Illinois homeowners’ association,<br />
are subject to varying and overlapping<br />
laws and rules that touch on<br />
different aspects of the responsibilities<br />
and powers of a “director.”<br />
Some laws tell directors how they<br />
must approach issues that come<br />
before the board and the standards<br />
that apply to actions and decisions<br />
directors make, such as fiduciary<br />
responsibility rules and the<br />
Business Judgment Rule. Other<br />
rules dictate specific responsibilities<br />
and duties of directors: actions<br />
that the board of directors MUST<br />
take or ensure are taken. <strong>The</strong>se<br />
are MANDATORY requirements.<br />
On the other hand, boards are also<br />
given the authority by various<br />
sources to take DISCRETIONARY<br />
actions; actions and subject matter<br />
that the board is not required to<br />
take or address, but may, if it sees<br />
fit, to do so.<br />
Following is a brief description<br />
of the mandatory powers and<br />
duties that are most relevant and<br />
applicable to the directors of the<br />
GTA. <strong>The</strong> list is comprised of portions<br />
of applicable Illinois statutes<br />
and the GTA’s governing documents.<br />
It is not intended or represented<br />
to be an exhaustive list.<br />
Whole books have been devoted<br />
to this subject, and this article is<br />
only a general overview. As the<br />
Illinois Not for Profit Corporation<br />
Act itself states: “This Act is not<br />
an exclusive statement of the duties<br />
and responsibilities of directors<br />
and officers. Directors and<br />
officers are subject to common<br />
law and other statutory duties and<br />
responsibilities.”<br />
MANDATORY DUTIES<br />
Management of the<br />
GTA’s Affairs and Common<br />
Properties<br />
Each corporation shall have a<br />
board of directors, and except as<br />
provided in articles of incorporation,<br />
the affairs of the corporation<br />
shall be managed by or under the<br />
direction of the board of directors.<br />
(Illinois Not For Profit<br />
Corporation Act-805 ILCS<br />
105/108.05(a).)<br />
<strong>The</strong> affairs of the corporation<br />
shall be managed by a Board of<br />
Directors who shall be Members<br />
of the Corporation.<br />
(GTA Bylaws, Art. VI, Sec. 1.)<br />
Note: This is the most basic of<br />
directors’ duties: to manage the<br />
affairs of the corporation. It is<br />
also very broad and leaves much<br />
room for interpretation.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Association shall preserve<br />
and maintain the common properties.<br />
(Declaration of Covenants and<br />
Restrictions, Art. VI, Sec. 2(b).)<br />
Note: “<strong>The</strong> Association” should<br />
be read as “Board of Directors”<br />
here.<br />
Board Records<br />
(1) <strong>The</strong> board shall maintain<br />
the following records of the association<br />
and make them available<br />
for examination and copying<br />
at convenient hours of weekdays<br />
by any unit owner in a common<br />
interest community subject to the<br />
authority of the board, their mortgagees,<br />
and their duly authorized<br />
agents or attorneys:<br />
(i) Copies of the recorded<br />
declaration, other community<br />
instruments, other duly recorded<br />
covenants and bylaws and any<br />
amendments, articles of incorporation,<br />
annual reports, and any<br />
rules and regulations adopted by<br />
the board shall be available. Prior<br />
to the organization of the board,<br />
the developer shall maintain and<br />
make available the records set<br />
forth in this paragraph (i) for examination<br />
and copying.<br />
(ii) Detailed and accurate<br />
records in chronological<br />
order of the receipts and expenditures<br />
affecting the common<br />
areas, specifying and itemizing<br />
the maintenance and repair expenses<br />
of the common areas and<br />
any other expenses incurred, and<br />
copies of all contracts, leases, or<br />
other agreements entered into by<br />
the board shall be maintained.<br />
(iii) <strong>The</strong> minutes of all<br />
meetings of the board which shall<br />
be maintained for not less than 7<br />
years.<br />
(iv) With a written statement<br />
of a proper purpose, ballots and<br />
proxies related thereto, if any, for<br />
any election held for the board<br />
and for any other matters voted<br />
on by the unit owners, which<br />
shall be maintained for not less<br />
than one year.<br />
(v) With a written statement<br />
of a proper purpose, such<br />
other records of the board as are<br />
available for inspection by members<br />
of a not-for-profit corporation<br />
pursuant to Section 107.75<br />
of the General Not for Profit<br />
Corporation Act of 1986 shall be<br />
maintained.<br />
(Illinois Common Interest<br />
Community Association Act-765<br />
ILCS 160/1-30.)<br />
Meetings<br />
(5) Meetings of the board shall<br />
be open to any unit owner, except<br />
for the portion of any meeting<br />
held (i) to discuss litigation when<br />
an action against or on behalf of<br />
the particular association has been<br />
filed and is pending in a court or<br />
administrative tribunal, or when<br />
the common interest community<br />
association finds that such an action<br />
is probable or imminent, (ii)<br />
to consider information regarding<br />
appointment, employment, or dismissal<br />
of an employee, or (iii) to<br />
discuss violations of rules and<br />
regulations of the association or<br />
a unit owner’s unpaid share of<br />
common expenses. Any vote on<br />
these matters shall be taken at a<br />
meeting or portion thereof open to<br />
any unit owner.<br />
(6) <strong>The</strong> board must reserve a<br />
portion of the meeting of the board<br />
for comments by unit owners; provided,<br />
however, the duration and<br />
meeting order for the unit owner<br />
comment period is within the sole<br />
discretion of the board.<br />
(Illinois Common Interest<br />
Community Association Act-765<br />
ILCS 160/1-40.)<br />
Finances<br />
(a) Each unit owner shall receive,<br />
at least 30 days prior to the<br />
adoption thereof by the board,<br />
a copy of the proposed annual<br />
budget together with an indication<br />
of which portions are intended for<br />
reserves, capital expenditures or<br />
repairs or payment of real estate<br />
taxes.<br />
(b) <strong>The</strong> board shall annually<br />
supply to all unit owners an itemized<br />
accounting of the common<br />
expenses for the preceding year<br />
actually incurred or paid, together<br />
with an indication of which portions<br />
were for reserves, capital<br />
expenditures or repairs or payment<br />
of real estate taxes and with<br />
a tabulation of the amounts collected<br />
pursuant to the budget or<br />
assessment, and showing the net<br />
excess or deficit of income over<br />
expenditures plus reserves.<br />
(c) If an adopted budget or<br />
any separate assessment adopted<br />
by the board would result in the<br />
sum of all regular and separate assessments<br />
payable in the current<br />
fiscal year exceeding 115% of<br />
the sum of all regular and separate<br />
assessments payable during<br />
the preceding fiscal year, the<br />
common interest community association,<br />
upon written petition by<br />
unit owners with 20% of the votes<br />
of the association delivered to the<br />
board within 14 days of the board<br />
action, shall call a meeting of the<br />
unit owners within 30 days of the<br />
date of delivery of the petition to<br />
consider the budget or separate assessment;<br />
unless a majority of the<br />
total votes of the unit owners are<br />
cast at the meeting to reject the<br />
budget or separate assessment, it<br />
shall be deemed ratified.<br />
(f) Assessments for additions<br />
and alterations to the common<br />
areas or to association-owned<br />
property not included in the adopted<br />
annual budget shall be separately<br />
assessed and are subject to<br />
approval of two-thirds of the total<br />
votes of all unit owners.<br />
(Illinois Common Interest<br />
Community Association Act-765<br />
ILCS 160/1-45.)<br />
Records and Assessments<br />
It shall be the duty of the<br />
Board:<br />
(a) To cause to be kept a complete<br />
record of all its acts and<br />
corporate affairs and to present a<br />
statement thereof to the Members<br />
at the annual meeting or, at any<br />
special meeting, when requested<br />
by the Members.<br />
(b) To supervise all officers,<br />
agents and employees of the<br />
Association, and to see that their<br />
duties are properly performed.<br />
(c) <strong>The</strong> Association upon request<br />
and payment of a service<br />
fee shall furnish any Owner liable<br />
for any assessment a certificate<br />
in writing signed by the General<br />
Manager or his or her designee<br />
setting forth what assessments, if<br />
any which have been made with<br />
respect to said Owner’s property<br />
and which are unpaid. Such certificate<br />
shall be conclusive evidence<br />
with respect to the matters<br />
certified therein.<br />
(d) To make annual assessments<br />
against the Members and to collect<br />
the same and create and enforce<br />
liens with respect thereto, as<br />
provided in the Declaration. No<br />
assessment shall be made for any<br />
year prior to the year 1976. <strong>The</strong><br />
amount of the assessment for each<br />
Interior/Exterior Painting & Staining<br />
Pressure Washing - Deck Care<br />
Dry Wall Repair<br />
year and the time for payment<br />
thereof shall be fixed by resolution<br />
of the board.<br />
(e) <strong>The</strong> board may increase<br />
the amount of the annual assessment<br />
for any year after 1976 in an<br />
amount greater than 15% of the<br />
amount of the assessment for the<br />
preceding year upon approval by<br />
vote of Members at the annual<br />
meeting of Members of a majority<br />
of the Members present and<br />
voting at said meeting, in person,<br />
in the following manner: Prior to<br />
any such annual meeting the board<br />
shall adopt a budget for such year<br />
to be presented for approval by<br />
Members at such meeting, which<br />
budget as adopted shall be sent<br />
to the Members with a notice of<br />
such meeting. If such budget is<br />
approved by the Members, the<br />
board may levy an assessment for<br />
such year in an amount sufficient<br />
to meet the provisions of budget.<br />
(f) <strong>The</strong> board shall direct management<br />
to add any unpaid, past<br />
due fines as well as any other<br />
amounts owed to the Association<br />
by any property owner to that<br />
property owner’s annual property<br />
owner’s assessment and this in<br />
total shall be subject to the rules<br />
of annual assessment collections<br />
as set forth in these bylaws and the<br />
Declaration.<br />

What are Your Tax Dollars Supporting?<br />
Highland Community College<br />
By JOHN GRIGGS<br />
Committee Member<br />
This is the second in a fivepart<br />
series about property taxes.<br />
Last month’s article focused on<br />
the structure and determination<br />
of your property tax bill. This<br />
second article looks at how your<br />
money is spent by Highland<br />
Community College. <strong>The</strong> rest<br />
of the series will cover the remaining<br />
major taxing bodies of<br />
the county – the school districts,<br />
the fire districts, the townships<br />
and Jo Daviess County.<br />
None of us enjoys paying<br />
property taxes, but it does help<br />
if we have some understanding<br />
of how our dollars are used in<br />
the community and how we can<br />
realize some benefit from them.<br />
<strong>The</strong> current economy and slow<br />
recovery has affected each and<br />
every one of us through loss of<br />
None of us enjoys paying property taxes, but it<br />

our dollars are used in the community and how<br />
we can realize some benefit from them.<br />
income due to downsizing, loss<br />
of income as a result of market<br />
instability, increasing prices and<br />
decreasing home values. Over<br />
the years, many of us have experienced<br />
the ups and downs of<br />
the cycle of life often referred<br />
to as reality. This reality was<br />
especially evident in our years<br />
of formal education. As we well<br />
know, education does not end<br />
when formal schooling ends.<br />
Some of us continue to learn<br />
and have the desire for additional<br />
knowledge. We can further<br />
that desire right here in our<br />
own backyard.<br />
Over 10 percent of our tax<br />
dollars are allocated to Highland<br />
Community College (HCC),<br />
which has been in existence<br />
since June 1967 (http://www.<br />
highland.edu/acedemics/programs.asp).<br />
<strong>The</strong> main campus is<br />
in Freeport, Ill., “west” campus<br />
is in Elizabeth, and there are<br />
satellite locations throughout<br />
the district. <strong>The</strong> Adult Education<br />
program serves the four area<br />
counties of Jo Daviess, Carroll,<br />
Ogle and Stephenson with<br />
classes offered at Freeport,<br />
Elizabeth and Mt. Morris, Ill.<br />
Some of the Adult Ed classes<br />
are free. Check out http://www.<br />
highland.cc.il.us/adulted/index<br />
for more information.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are numerous classes<br />
available covering a variety of<br />
topics such as Identity <strong>The</strong>ft,<br />
Stress Management, Personal<br />
Enrichment, Employment<br />
Opportunities, Business Institute<br />
focused on Developing Human<br />
Capital, Jo Daviess Leadership<br />
Forum, Equine Clinics, Tours de<br />
Jour, and Computers Made Easy<br />
For Seniors, to name but a few.<br />
HCC offers numerous opportunities<br />
to broaden our knowledge<br />
and further our education. Those<br />
opportunities are there for all of<br />
us to take advantage of because<br />
of our tax dollars.<br />
VOLUNTEERS ARE<br />
NEEDED<br />
Along with the Adult<br />
Education program at HHC is<br />
a special need of volunteers<br />
for the Highland Community<br />
College Literacy Program.<br />
Volunteers are needed to help<br />
participants learn Reading,<br />
Math, Writing, and English<br />
as a Second Language (ESL).<br />
Interested volunteers are encouraged<br />

Temperature and humidity are the enemies of your stored goods.<br />
Temperatures can pass the 100-degree mark sending storage shed<br />
temperatures soaring. Humidity can hover near 100% for days. Wood<br />
absorbs moisture and can warp and crack. Fabric c can mildew and<br />

By CAROLYN BOIARSKY<br />
A tour of the Shenandoah<br />
Riding Center was conducted<br />
May 14 to show off the newly<br />
renovated stables and to give<br />
area residents an opportunity to<br />
meet the operators,<br />
Justin and<br />
Lindley Leahy<br />
o f L e a h y<br />
Sporthorses,<br />
Inc. During<br />
the years they<br />
have leased the<br />
riding center<br />
from the Association, they’ve<br />
made a lot of changes and they<br />
enjoyed sharing their approach<br />
to working with horses with<br />
the attendees – an approach<br />
that comes from a long line of<br />
horse owners in the western part<br />
of Ireland where Justin learned<br />
from his father and grandfather.<br />
A group of about 18 property<br />
owners gathered in the office<br />
area for the 12:30 p.m. tour<br />
(Another tour was offered at 2:30<br />
p.m.). Many of those gathered<br />
had boarded their horses and<br />
ridden at the stables for years.<br />
Lola, one of the area residents,<br />
reminisced how she had learned<br />
to ride (somewhere after she had<br />
turned 60) at Shenandoah.<br />
Justin began the tour by providing<br />
an overview<br />
of the<br />
structural changes<br />
that were included<br />
in the recent renovation<br />
of the<br />
facility. Two of<br />
the major renovations<br />
can be<br />
viewed from Brodrecht Road.<br />
<strong>The</strong> most noticeable is the color.<br />
<strong>The</strong> building is now beige, not<br />
white as it had been, and fits<br />
within the color requirements of<br />
the Architectural Guidelines for<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Galena</strong> <strong>Territory</strong>. <strong>The</strong> second<br />
change is the size; the part of the<br />
building where the horses used<br />
to be boarded is now one half its<br />
previous size.<br />
<strong>The</strong> number of indoor stables<br />
was reduced from 48 to<br />
24, which allowed the Leahys<br />
to offer several new features to<br />
its boarders, as well as provide<br />
more comfort for the horses. A<br />
tack room for trail riders has<br />
been added, as well as an indoor<br />
area where boarders can saddle<br />
their horses.<br />
Outside, a roof has been installed<br />
over the hitching area,<br />
providing the trail horses with a<br />
place to stay when it rains and<br />
a way to get out of the summer<br />
sun to avoid having their noses<br />
become sunburned. This renova-<br />
<strong>Territory</strong> Times<br />
Shenandoah Riding Center<br />
Changes in Structure<br />
and Philosophy<br />
tion is the result of the Leahy’s<br />
philosophy that the horses are<br />
better off outside where they<br />
can run off their energy, rather<br />
than being cooped up in a stall in<br />
inclement weather. According to<br />
Sally Traul who began boarding<br />
her horse at the stable long before<br />
the Leahys arrived, her<br />
horse has made it through the recent<br />
winters “much better” than<br />
previously.<br />
On the hills beyond the stables,<br />
the horses grazed in several<br />
areas. Justin explained that they<br />
rotate the grazing. Once again,<br />
he emphasized the importance<br />
he places on allowing the horses<br />
to roam outside, explaining that<br />
the natural grass that they feed<br />
on is better for them than the<br />
grain that is purchased. It also<br />
allows them to eat whenever they<br />
want. He believes trail horses<br />
should not be overfed; it makes<br />
them “too frisky.” <strong>The</strong> natural<br />
grazing is also more cost effective,<br />
he adds.<br />
<strong>The</strong> tour ended in the inside<br />
arena. Even though the day was<br />
cloudy, there was quite a bit of<br />
light in the area as a result of<br />

<strong>The</strong> natural lighting provided the<br />
group with a good view of Justin<br />
demonstrating his horsemanship.<br />

turning and jumping to<br />
the delight of the onlookers.<br />

Greenspace Report<br />
By CORY RITTERBUSCH<br />
In 2006 the American lawn reached a higher status<br />
among its citizens – it became the country’s largest irrigated<br />
crop. Between our golf courses, sports fields,<br />
town squares and residential lawns, turfgrass now<br />
covers an amazing 40 million acres – 80 percent of<br />
non-farmed land. Once utilized by the rich as outdoor<br />
carpet and by athletes for sport, turfgrass is now the<br />
norm for all residential lots, rural or urban, and the<br />
maintenance practices that come with it are now the<br />
standard protocol.<br />
<strong>The</strong> lawn has its roots in the gardens of England, but<br />
it was not until the post-World War II building boom<br />
that it reached its full power here in America. At that<br />
time, subdivisions sprouted up around major cities,<br />
forming suburbs. To match the prestigious look of<br />
larger estates, planners designed large lawns to attract<br />
clients. Thus, the goal of making private properties<br />
park-like began and fences were not erected to allow<br />
for open appearances in residential communities.<br />
Although the 1/2-acre area of grass that is carefully<br />
manicured by its owner seems rather harmless, it is the<br />
large-scale ramifications of millions of such owners<br />
that prove to be devastating. In 2005 it took 238 gallons<br />
of water per person to irrigate 40 million acres<br />
of turfgrass, which are being mowed with 800 million<br />
gallons of small engine gasoline and kept green by<br />
70 million pounds of chemicals. All of this cost an<br />
estimated 30 billion dollars annually (2005). <strong>The</strong> effects<br />
on water and air quality are staggering as are the<br />
68,000 injuries sustained annually while mowing.<br />
Martin Quigley, an urban landscape specialist with<br />
<strong>The</strong> Ohio State University states this about lawns:<br />
“Turf maintenance is unquestionably the single most<br />
labor intensive component of the constructed landscape.<br />
Lawn upkeep, though expensive, requires few<br />
decisions and little risk. It is not attuned to the peculiarities<br />
of individual sites.” Nationwide, the same<br />
grass types are used regardless of soil type, climate,<br />
topography or regional customs. <strong>The</strong> turf industry has<br />
developed stronger more desirable strains in order<br />
to please the 80 percent of adults that maintain turfgrass.<br />
Oddly enough, lawn care advertising confirms that<br />
most residential lawn care is a losing battle against climate,<br />
pests, traffic and other variables, unless more efforts,<br />
including watering and chemicals, are applied to<br />
the cause. <strong>The</strong> 70 million pounds of chemicals applied<br />
to turfgrass annually represent a higher concentration<br />
of chemical input than any other form of agriculture<br />
worldwide. In Ted Stienberg’s book, American Green:<br />
<strong>The</strong> Obsessive Quest for the Perfect Lawn, he calls the<br />
rise of the lawn “one of the most profound transformations<br />
of the landscape in American history.”<br />
Today, we mow most land that is mow-able<br />
and any area that is not mowed is considered “weeds.”<br />
Dead spots in lawns are dyed green to disguise imperfections.<br />
We spend an average of 40 hours per year<br />
mowing or pay services an average of $1,080 to mow<br />
for us. We pay higher water bills during hot summer<br />
weather to keep the grass alive and we spend used<br />
car prices for lawn mowers. Lawn clippings represent<br />
<strong>Territory</strong> Times<br />
“An old error is always more popular than a new truth.”<br />
- German Proverb<br />
<strong>The</strong> Almighty Lawn<br />
the largest agricultural byproduct in the U.S., which<br />
could support 20 percent of our nation’s fuel demands<br />
if converted to ethanol (David Blume). <strong>The</strong> Scotts®<br />
Miracle Gro Company (SMG on the New York Stock<br />
Exchange) now sells bird seed to supply birds with<br />
food that the monoculture lawn lacks…Odd indeed.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are many alternatives to battle this consumptive<br />
and environmentally un-friendly practice,<br />
including: planting areas with native grasses and<br />
flowers, installing ”no mow” turf species such as buffalo<br />
grass, reducing the amount of lawn that is mowed<br />
or promoting urban planners to develop cluster housing<br />
which consolidates housing allowing for more open<br />
space. <strong>The</strong> long-term cost savings of utilizing lawn alternatives<br />
are staggering and should be encouragement<br />
alone. <strong>The</strong> real benefit, however, lies in the increase of<br />
habitat, stabilization of soil, use of local materials and<br />
weekends that you don’t have to worry about mowing<br />
the lawn.<br />

SWIMMING POOL REMINDERS<br />
As the swimming pool operation swings into<br />
high gear, there are a few general rules and reminders<br />
we would like to share with you:<br />
• Lap swim is from 9 to 10<br />
a.m. daily and open swim is<br />
from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily.<br />
• <strong>The</strong> pool will not open if the<br />
forecasted temperature for the<br />
day does not exceed 70 degrees<br />
and will not be open during inclement<br />
weather.<br />
• No food or beverages are al-<br />
lowed on the pool deck (the only<br />
exception is water in clear containers).<br />
Food and beverages are<br />
allowed on the patio outside the snack bar.<br />
• Everyone under 18 years of age must completely<br />
vacate the pool during rest periods.<br />
• Children 12 and under must be accompanied<br />
by an adult 18 years of age or older.<br />
• All rules will be strictly enforced!<br />
• Infants should wear swimming diapers. If you<br />
don’t have one, our Lifeguards would be happy to<br />
provide you with one.<br />
If you have a question or problem with the<br />
swimming pool, please contact the Administrative<br />
Office at 815-777-2000 so the problem can be<br />
dealt with in a timely manner.<br />
SNACK BAR<br />
<strong>The</strong> snack bar is ready to make you a great meal<br />
or just a snack. We have appetizers, sandwiches,<br />
ice cream and many other items to choose from.<br />
<strong>The</strong> snack bar is open daily, 11 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.<br />
and is operated in conjunction with the swimming<br />
pool.<br />
RENT A BOAT<br />
Don’t forget to visit Lake <strong>Galena</strong> this summer.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re’s no better way to spend a couple of hours<br />
than cruising the lake and enjoying the beauty,<br />
tranquility and wildlife. We have plenty of boats<br />
available for rent, the <strong>2011</strong> hourly rates are:<br />
Motor Boats $20 per hour<br />
Pontoons $40 per hour<br />
Reservations are accepted for pontoon boats<br />
only; motor boats are rented on a first-come, firstserved<br />
basis. <strong>The</strong> Marina is open daily from 7 a.m.<br />
to 7 p.m. daily all summer until Labor Day.<br />
REGISTERED BOATS<br />
With the boating season well under way, I would<br />
like to ask all owners registered at Lake <strong>Galena</strong><br />
to please make sure they have all of the required<br />
State of Illinois and GTA decals affixed to their<br />
watercraft. <strong>The</strong> Illinois Department of Natural<br />
Resources routinely monitors Lake <strong>Galena</strong> and<br />
will check for appropriate Illinois registration. If<br />
your Unit/Lot numbers are faded or torn, please<br />
stop at the GTA Administrative Office to pick up<br />
a new set at no additional cost.<br />
USE SURVEYS<br />
Thank you in advance for your cooperation in<br />
answering the survey when entering the Owners’<br />
Club. We take this survey annually to monitor the<br />
number of guests using the facility and when it is<br />
being utilized.<br />

of preparing the 2012 budget. <strong>The</strong> budget will be<br />
printed in the October issue of the <strong>Territory</strong> Times<br />

opportunity to review the budget for one month<br />
prior to final approval by the board, which is intended<br />
to occur at the Board of Directors Meeting<br />
on October 29.<br />
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE INSPECTIONS<br />
<strong>The</strong> Ansul system in the snack bar has undergone<br />
its semi-annual inspection and cleaning. We<br />
also completed the annual inspection of the fire<br />
extinguishers. Both the Ansul system and the fire<br />
extinguishers passed with flying colors. <strong>The</strong>re are<br />
many, many routine maintenance item inspections<br />
completed throughout the year, such as inspections<br />
of the elevator, Lake <strong>Galena</strong> dam, emergency<br />
lighting, automatic external defibrillators, fire suppression<br />
system, alarm system, etc.<br />

June Pool<br />
Saves!<br />
Our pool had only been open<br />
two weeks and two swimmers<br />
already required assistance from<br />
our lifeguards. Kiresten Bauer<br />

made a save on June 7. Thank<br />
you very much Kiresten and<br />

Data from the recently released<br />
<strong>2011</strong> National Association of<br />
Realtors Investment and Vacation<br />
Home Survey shows vacation<br />
home sales accounted for 10 percent<br />
of all transactions last year<br />
and investment sales were 17 percent<br />
of the overall market. Those<br />
figures were unchanged from the<br />
2010 survey.<br />
<strong>The</strong> typical vacation home<br />
buyer was 49 years old with a median<br />
household income of $99,500<br />
and purchased a property that was<br />
a median distance of 375 miles<br />
from their primary residence.<br />
Investment home buyers had a<br />
median age of 45 with income of<br />
$87,600 and bought a home within<br />
a median distance of 19 miles.<br />
Foreclosure sales accounted<br />
for 17 percent of investment purchases<br />
and 11 percent of vacationhome<br />
sales in 2010, compared to<br />
five percent of primary purchases.<br />
<strong>The</strong> median vacation home price<br />
nationwide was $150,000 in 2010<br />
down 11.2 percent from $169,000<br />
in 2009, while the investment<br />
home price was $94,000, which is<br />
10.5 percent below the $105,000<br />
median in 2009.<br />
Cash purchases have become<br />
prevalent in the second home<br />
market in recent years with 59 percent<br />
of investment buyers paying<br />
cash in 2010, as did 36 percent of<br />
vacation home buyers.<br />
Even if purchases are delayed<br />
due to economic circumstances,<br />
there appears to be a long term<br />
demand for resort and second<br />
homes, because people in their<br />
30s and 40s will reach the prime<br />
age for buying and will drive the<br />
second home market in coming<br />
decades, the survey reports.<br />
SALES IN THE TERRITORY<br />
As of June 13, there were 273<br />
homes (single family, condos<br />
and townhomes) for sale in <strong>The</strong><br />
<strong>Galena</strong> <strong>Territory</strong> with the median<br />
asking price of $229,900 and 187<br />
vacant lots on the market with a<br />
median sales price of $59,900.<br />
From May 1 to June 13, seven (7)<br />
single family, condos and townhomes<br />
sold with a median sales<br />
price of $207,000 versus eleven<br />
sold at a median sales price of<br />
$215,000 in the same time period<br />
in 2010. Homes sold year-to-date<br />

ASSESSMENT COLLECTION POLICY<br />
Board Policy Amended at the Jan. 29, <strong>2011</strong><br />
Board of Directors Meeting<br />
<strong>July</strong> <strong>2011</strong> 31<br />
January 31 of any given year: Annual assessments are due.<br />
In the event of a hardship, any member unable to pay their assessment in full by the due date<br />
should contact the General Manager of <strong>The</strong> <strong>Galena</strong> <strong>Territory</strong> Association who shall have the discretion<br />
to establish an agreeable payment plan. Payment plans should ensure that current year<br />
assessments are paid in full in the calendar year for which they are assessed. If a payment plan<br />
includes prior year assessments, that part of the assessment must also be paid in full during the<br />
current calendar year. Interest charges will continue to accrue during the term of the payment plan.<br />
Membership privileges for any member on a payment plan shall be suspended until assessments<br />
and fees are paid in total. Failure by a member to adhere to the payment plan as agreed upon will<br />
result in the implementation of the Assessment Collection Policy described below.<br />
February 1: All assessments due but not paid will be declared delinquent and an interest charge<br />
previously established by the Board of Directors shall be charged monthly until receipt of payment.<br />
March 1: A reminder will be included with all notices indicating the future course of action by<br />
the Association.<br />
April 1: All members’ privileges will be suspended until receipt of the assessment and fees in<br />
total. In accordance with the General Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions, Article VIII,<br />
Section 1, a lien shall be filed on all lots or living units with past due assessments. <strong>The</strong> lien will be<br />
removed upon receipt of full payment of the assessment, interest and any applicable fees, including<br />
a lien fee to be charged to each delinquent account, the amount of which will be determined by the<br />
Board of Directors.<br />
Once a lien is filed, the board will determine when and whether to forward any or all delinquent<br />
accounts to its attorneys for further legal proceedings. Once legal proceedings have begun, all future<br />
communication regarding the debt shall be between the member and the Association’s attorneys.<br />
Once a lien has been filed and the lien fee added to the delinquent member’s account, the<br />
Board of Directors will not waive the fee.<br />

Belden School ~ Teaching Again!<br />
School Groups Visit Belden School<br />
By LINDA NIESSNER<br />
GTF Board President<br />
Belden School’s mission, to promote<br />
the historical legacy of Belden School,<br />
is being accomplished by inviting school<br />
groups to visit the one-room schoolhouse<br />
and experience ‘olden days education.’<br />
This spring, two school groups took<br />
advantage of the opportunity to visit<br />
Belden. <strong>The</strong> first group of students traveled<br />
from Abraham Lincoln School in<br />
Glen Ellyn, Ill., to spend a Saturday<br />
morning learning about a one-room<br />
schoolhouse experience of 1936.<br />
<strong>Territory</strong> resident Pat Harte-Naus conducted<br />
‘reading, ‘riting and ‘rithmetic<br />
lessons with her students. Recess, elocution<br />
instruction and a spelling bee<br />
rounded out the morning’s activities.<br />
Peter McDugal, portrayed by Pat’s<br />
teaching partner, Brian, was also in attendance<br />
to give the experience a sense<br />
of authenticity.<br />
<strong>The</strong> next group to attend a learning<br />
session at Belden School was a local<br />
group. Scales Mound Elementary<br />
School’s fifth grade students, accompa-<br />
BELDEN SCHOOL IS<br />
OPEN TO THE PUBLIC<br />
On the first and third<br />
Saturday of each month,<br />

nied by their teacher, <strong>Territory</strong> resident<br />
Cathy Russ, spent time experiencing and<br />
enjoying Belden’s past and present. Each<br />
student was given a new identity for their<br />
visit as they portrayed an actual former<br />
Belden student. <strong>The</strong> students participated<br />
in typical lessons as they were taught in<br />
a country school. Recess by the creek<br />
was a highlight for the students, teacher<br />
and docent.<br />
Belden School Preservation<br />
Committee has extended invitations to<br />
the three local school districts to visit<br />
Belden School. <strong>The</strong>re is no charge for<br />
local school groups.<br />

<strong>The</strong> “large” schoolboy is Brian Pindar who played Peter from the book, Belden Boy-the adventures of Peter McDugal. Brian taught the<br />
children from Abraham Lincoln School in Glen Ellyn how to play fair games of stickball and the like. Brian is Pat Harte-Naus’ fifth grade<br />
teaching partner and he really made the students’ visit come alive… he even put a rubber snake on the teacher’s desk! Photo by Pat<br />

Second<br />
Visit to<br />
Belden<br />
School by<br />
Glen Ellyn<br />
Students<br />
By PAT HARTE-NAUS<br />
This was the second annual<br />
trip for Abraham Lincoln<br />
School in Glen Ellyn, Ill. This<br />
group traveled 144 miles to see<br />
where the fiction character,<br />
Peter McDugal, lives and goes<br />
to school… Belden School, that<br />
is. <strong>The</strong> children back in Glen<br />
Ellyn are very familiar with the<br />
book Belden Boy-the adventures<br />
of Peter McDugal. <strong>The</strong>y<br />
read it for their literacy program<br />
at school. Imagine their<br />
surprise when Peter McDugal<br />
(played by another Abraham<br />
Lincoln School teacher) met<br />
them at the top of the path at<br />
Stagecoach Trail on Blackhawk<br />
Trace! Peter walked down the<br />
path with the excited children<br />
as they skipped, and then ran to<br />
school after hearing the sound<br />
of the bell ringing through<br />
the woods. After two hours<br />
of recitations and elocution,<br />
arithmetic, recess by the creek,<br />
playing stickball with Peter,<br />
and of course, the infamous<br />
spelling bee, tired but happy<br />
children joined their parents<br />
afterward full of tales of their<br />
morning at Belden School.<br />
Belden School is a large PTA<br />
fundraiser in the Glen Ellyn<br />
District #41. It helps to educate<br />
children of all ages of a<br />
life long ago in a one-room<br />
school house, and benefits the<br />
town of <strong>Galena</strong>, as well. Many<br />
families stay either in <strong>The</strong><br />
<strong>Galena</strong> <strong>Territory</strong> or in town for<br />
the weekend as they enjoy such<br />
amenities as the Shenandoah<br />
Riding Center and <strong>Galena</strong>’s<br />
restaurants and stores. Every<br />
family pledges to come back<br />
to this beautiful area one day<br />
soon.<br />

<strong>Galena</strong> High School Awards Night are (from left): John Williams,<br />
Austin Spillane, Laura Staver, Tyler Wills, Kalli Berning and<br />
Vicky Gehling. All four <strong>Galena</strong> seniors received Lend-A-Hand<br />
scholarships. John and Vicky also attended the Scales Mound<br />
High School Awards Night and presented Alex Lynn Korte with<br />
a Lend-A-Hand scholarship. Mo and Ginger Bartot attended the<br />
River Ridge High School Awards Night and presented a Lend-A-<br />
Hand Scholarship to Jessica Albrecht and a Vo-Tech Scholarship to<br />

Foundation’s Education and Scholarship Committee for continuing<br />
this important and rewarding program!<br />

<strong>2011</strong> Lend-A-Hand<br />
Scholarship Winners<br />
Announced<br />
By VICKY GEHLING<br />
Committee Chair<br />
In April of this year, members<br />
of the Education and<br />
Scholarship Committee had the<br />
difficult task of choosing the<br />
recipients of this year’s Lend-<br />
A-Hand and Vo-Tech scholarships.<br />
Nineteen high school<br />
seniors from the attendance<br />
areas of the three school districts<br />
in <strong>The</strong> <strong>Galena</strong> <strong>Territory</strong><br />
applied and were interviewed.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y were all very impressive,<br />
and the selection process was<br />
not easy.<br />
In May, at the Senior<br />
Awards Nights of the three<br />
high schools, seven scholarships<br />
were awarded on behalf<br />
of the <strong>Galena</strong> <strong>Territory</strong><br />
Foundation. On May 11, John<br />
Williams and I presented four<br />
$1,500 Lend-A-Hand scholarships<br />
to <strong>Galena</strong> High School<br />
Students. <strong>The</strong> recipients were:<br />
Kalli Berning, Austin Spillane,<br />
Laura Staver and Tyler Wills.<br />
On May 24, John and I were<br />
at Scales Mound High School<br />
to present a $1,500 Lend-A-<br />
Hand scholarship to Alex<br />
Lynn Korte. Finally, on May<br />
27, Ginger Bartot was at the<br />
Senior Awards Assembly at<br />
River Ridge High School to<br />
present two scholarships. A<br />
$1,500 Lend-A-Hand scholarship<br />
went to Jessica Albrecht,<br />
and a $750 Vo-Tech scholarship<br />
was presented to Maggie<br />
Kelzer.<br />
It was a pleasure to meet all<br />
the fine students who applied<br />
for the GTF scholarships.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y are all remarkable young<br />
men and women. If these are a<br />
sample of the leaders of the future,<br />
we will be in good hands<br />
in the years to come!<br />

FACTS FROM THE SPCA:<br />
• <strong>The</strong> temperature inside a<br />
parked vehicle can double in a<br />
RICH MAAS<br />

Many of us no doubt saw<br />
our own GTA Security team,<br />
our County Sheriff ’s off i-<br />
matter of minutes.<br />
• A dog left inside a vehicle<br />
can die within minutes, as they<br />
are not able to sweat to cool<br />
themselves. A dog panting inside<br />
a car will raise the temperature<br />
even more quickly.<br />
• If you see a pet left unattended<br />
in a car on a warm day<br />
and are unable to alert the owner,<br />
call the police* or the local<br />
SPCA.<br />
When you have to run errands,<br />
please stop and think about<br />
how you would feel sitting in a<br />
parked car with little ventilation<br />
on a warm day. How many minutes<br />
would pass before you felt<br />
discomfort?<br />
If you must have your dog<br />
along when running an errand on<br />
a warm day, leave the windows<br />
cers and the Illinois State police<br />
all present in our <strong>Galena</strong><br />

As warmer weather returns to the Mississippi Valley area,<br />
so do mosquito and tick borne threats to man’s best friend.<br />
Canine Heartworm Disease, transmitted by mosquitoes, can<br />
infect your dog’s heart leading to serious problems. Removal<br />
of the worms from the heart is risky and expensive, however<br />
prevention is safe, simple and effective.<br />
<strong>The</strong> tick borne diseases, Lyme Disease and Anaplasmosis,<br />
are common in this area and can lead to serious health<br />
consequences including lameness due to arthritis.<br />
An in-clinic blood test is available to screen for these diseases,<br />
if the test shows a disease is present, proper treatment may be<br />
started. If none of the diseases are found then once monthly<br />
heartworm medication and Lyme Disease vaccine may be<br />
started to prevent these diseases from occurring in the future.<br />

<strong>The</strong> annual <strong>Territory</strong> Garage<br />
Sale was held on Saturday, June<br />
11. Once again this year, the sale<br />
was sponsored by the Belden<br />
School Preservation Committee.<br />
Vendors had the option of having<br />
an indoor or outdoor booth at the<br />
Marina or having a sale at their<br />
homes. Admission was $1 and<br />
maps of the home sales were<br />
passed out at the Marina.<br />
Although the weather had been<br />
rainy most of the week, Saturday<br />
was cool and mostly dry. <strong>The</strong>re<br />
were 22 homes on the map and<br />
12 booths at the Marina. Over 600<br />
shoppers participated. <strong>The</strong> vendors<br />
were pleased with the turnout, and<br />
many treasures were purchased!<br />
Belden School Preservation<br />
Committee had proceeds exceeding<br />
$2,400. <strong>The</strong> two Relay<br />
For Life teams in <strong>The</strong> <strong>Territory</strong><br />
had brisk sales, and both did<br />
very well. Vendors had the option<br />
of donating any unsold items to<br />
the Cary Christian Center. <strong>The</strong>se<br />
then go to their resale shop in<br />
Appalachia. Thanks to all who<br />
participated, either as vendors or<br />
shoppers. As always, it was a great<br />
day in <strong>The</strong> <strong>Galena</strong> <strong>Territory</strong>!<br />

Social Committee Report<br />
By ELEANOR VIRKLER<br />
Committee Chair<br />
America celebrates <strong>July</strong> 4 as<br />
Independence Day because members<br />
of the Second Continental<br />
Congress adopted<br />
the final<br />
draft of the<br />
Declaration of<br />
Independence<br />
on <strong>July</strong> 4,<br />
1776. It wasn’t<br />
Eleanor<br />
VIrkler<br />
until 1941 that<br />
Congress declared<br />
<strong>July</strong> 4 a<br />
federal holiday.<br />
Proclaimed as “America’s biggest<br />
secular holiday,” celebrations<br />
across the country will range<br />
from family cookouts to festivities<br />
drawing huge crowds. In Erma<br />
Bombeck’s words, “You have to<br />
love a nation that celebrates its independence<br />
every <strong>July</strong> 4, not with<br />
a parade of guns, tanks, and soldiers<br />
who file by the White House<br />
in a show of strength and muscle,<br />
but with family picnics where kids<br />
throw Frisbees, the potato salad<br />
gets iffy, and the flies die from<br />
happiness. You may think you have<br />
overeaten, but it is patriotism.” You<br />
have to love Erma!<br />
Over the years, historical plays,<br />
baseball games, hot dogs, hamburgers,<br />
corn on the cob, and watermelon-eating<br />
contests all have<br />
become part of activities associated<br />
with <strong>July</strong> Fourth. Whether<br />
you spell it Barbecue or barbeque,<br />
abbreviate it BBQ, Bar-B-Q, or<br />
Barbie, it means sizzlin’ good<br />
summertime fun in the sun. <strong>July</strong><br />
is National Hot Dog Month. <strong>The</strong><br />
National Hot Dog and Sausage<br />
Council estimates that “155 million<br />
hot dogs will be downed”<br />
during the <strong>July</strong> Fourth Weekend;<br />
the biggest hot dog holiday of the<br />
year. Every year, Americans eat an<br />
average of 60 hot dogs each. Many<br />
ask, “What exactly is a hot dog<br />
made of?” But you’re not allowed<br />
to ask that question. Do you really<br />
want to know? For the record, the<br />
Council refers to the actual meat<br />
as “specially selected meat trimmings.”<br />
JULY FOURTH WEEKEND<br />
CELEBRATIONS<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Galena</strong> <strong>Territory</strong> Marina<br />
Park is the place to be on the<br />
mornings of <strong>July</strong> 2-3. Families<br />
will enthusiastically be joining<br />
the fun of the Kids’ Fishing<br />
Contest to the entertaining<br />
Annual Dog Show. According<br />
to the Almanac, summer will be<br />
hotter than normal. <strong>The</strong> hottest<br />
periods will occur in mid-to-late<br />
June and early <strong>July</strong>. Parents and<br />
grandparents – stay clear of the<br />
kids jumping into the pool for a<br />
cool down following these activities!<br />
<strong>The</strong> celebrations continue<br />
with the annual Star-Spangled<br />
Shenandoah Pro Rodeo on <strong>July</strong><br />
2-3. You may have seen this<br />
sport on video or in old western<br />
movies, but nothing compares<br />
to viewing the eight-second ride<br />
on a bull in person. Spectacular<br />
fireworks will follow both rodeo<br />
performances. See the ad on page<br />
17 for more information.<br />
If you are able to extend the<br />
weekend into Monday, downtown<br />
<strong>Galena</strong> will be the venue<br />
for three events. <strong>The</strong> parade down<br />
Main Street will be followed by<br />
refreshments and musical entertainment<br />
on the Green Street<br />
Steps Plaza. <strong>The</strong> finale will be<br />
the traditional fireworks display<br />
over Grant Park.<br />

Homes Needed for the<br />
Holiday Housewalk!<br />
By GAIL MATTHEWS<br />
GTA Event Chair<br />
For several decades, the<br />
GTA has sponsored a Holiday<br />
Housewalk. <strong>The</strong> <strong>2011</strong> Holiday<br />
Housewalk is in jeopardy of<br />
not happening. We need your<br />
help! To date, only one wonderful<br />
homeowner has stepped<br />
up and volunteered her lovely<br />
home to be a part of this year’s<br />
Housewalk. We want at least<br />
four more homes for the event<br />
scheduled for Dec. 3, <strong>2011</strong>.<br />
You may ask yourself, “Why<br />
would I want to do this?”<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are several answers to<br />
this question. <strong>The</strong> Christmas<br />
season is a wonderful time of<br />
year. Decorating the house with<br />
family is always special. <strong>The</strong>re<br />
is a pride of ownership that<br />
comes from sharing the beauty<br />
of the season with others. Each<br />
homeowner selects a local Jo<br />
Daviess County charity as the<br />
recipient of their share of the<br />
Holiday Housewalk proceeds.<br />
In this time of economic hard-<br />
ship, the Holiday Housewalk is<br />
especially important to those<br />
needy and important organizations<br />
in our local community.<br />
If you would like to become<br />
part of this experience, please<br />
contact me, Gail Matthews, at<br />
815-777-3367 or Sue Young,<br />
GTA Recreation manager, at<br />
815-777-2000. If we do not<br />
have enough homes by Sept.<br />
1, <strong>2011</strong>, we will cancel the<br />
Housewalk for this year. Please<br />
do not let this happen!<br />
Gail Matthews is a former<br />
high school English teacher<br />
and chaired the 2010 Holiday<br />
Housewalk committee. She<br />
and her husband have been<br />
<strong>Territory</strong> residents since<br />
2002.<br />

For all of you who might ask – does anyone<br />
offer products like the ones my parents and<br />
grandparents would buy? Does anyone offer<br />
hormone- and antibiotic-free meat products any<br />
more? Come on over to <strong>The</strong> <strong>Territory</strong> Farmers’<br />
Market and make a new friend – Tom Arnold of<br />
Arnolds Farm.<br />
Tom and his family have a 480-acre, 125-yearold<br />
family farm in Elizabeth that raises livestock<br />
and poultry the old fashion way – cattle, hogs,<br />
chickens, turkeys and lambs in a pasture/outdoor-based<br />
system. <strong>The</strong> feed is corn, oats, hay,<br />
clover, alfalfa and grass pasture. This is not a<br />
farm with a high production feedlot design.<br />
Rather, this is a family with a business model<br />
that looks back in time to what was really good<br />
and this is what they do today. Arnolds Farm<br />
produces healthy animals and from their philosophy,<br />
they offer healthy meats that are lean<br />
and offer flavor that you will not find from the<br />
standard supermarket fare.<br />
Arnolds Farm is one of the vendors that add<br />
value to <strong>The</strong> <strong>Territory</strong> Farmers’ Market “buy<br />

GTA Recreation Manager<br />
Hello, <strong>July</strong>! With summer in<br />
full swing, it’s been wonderful<br />
to see so many<br />
of you at <strong>The</strong><br />
<strong>Territory</strong>! I<br />
was worried<br />
that gas prices<br />
would scare<br />
you off… but<br />
here you are!<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Territory</strong><br />
B&B Landscaping<br />
• Lawn mowing<br />
• Power washing<br />
• Deck sealing & staining<br />
• Tree trimming<br />
• Wood cutting & delivery<br />
really is a great<br />
place to spend<br />
the summer.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are so many <strong>Territory</strong> activities<br />
to choose from, as well<br />
as activities in the surrounding<br />
communities.<br />
Well, let’s get to business and<br />
learn what <strong>July</strong> is all about! We<br />
know that <strong>July</strong> is the seventh<br />
month and has 31 days. Here’s<br />
what is happening in those 31<br />
days.<br />
JULY 4TH IS INDEPENDENCE<br />
DAY!<br />
Happy 235th Birthday<br />
America. On this day in 1776,<br />
the Declaration of Independence<br />
was approved by the Continental<br />
Congress, setting the 13 colonies<br />
on the road to freedom as a sovereign<br />
nation. As always, this<br />
most American of holidays will<br />
be marked by parades, fireworks<br />
and backyard barbecues across<br />
the country. So join in some of<br />
the fun we are planning in <strong>The</strong><br />
<strong>Territory</strong>!<br />
JULY FOURTH WEEKEND<br />
EVENTS ON JULY 2 & 3<br />

19th Annual Kids’ Fishing<br />
Tournament will be at Lake<br />
<strong>Galena</strong> with registration starting<br />
at 10 a.m. Come and checkout<br />
the youngsters and some of the<br />
biggest fish ever caught on tinytot<br />
fishing poles. I guarantee this<br />
will be a fun morning for you!<br />
Shenandoah Riding Center<br />
will again this year host a<br />
Star-Spangled Pro Rodeo on<br />
<strong>July</strong> 2 and <strong>July</strong> 3 at 7:30 p.m.<br />
each night. <strong>The</strong> folks at Big<br />
Hat Rodeo Company will be<br />
supplying the action packed<br />
rock’em, sock’em athletes of<br />
the arena! Bulls, broncos, clowns<br />

If this is the tire for the tractor… you should see the whole tractor!<br />
into motion.<br />
Families will have the chance<br />
to make ice cream and butter.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Illinois Young Farmers will<br />
be bringing their “Animals on<br />
the Move” petting zoo. This will<br />
give families a chance to touch<br />
and hug all kinds of farm animals.<br />
One of our favorites is cow<br />
milking. That’s right. If you have<br />
never had the chance to milk a<br />
cow… this is certainly your<br />
chance.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Natural Area Guardians<br />
will also be on hand to do some<br />
kid-friendly programs on different<br />
birds, bugs and other critters<br />
that are in our area. Did you<br />
know we have good bugs and bad<br />
bugs? And what would Farm Fun<br />
Day be without oversized equipment.<br />
Guilford Township will be<br />
bringing their BIG tractors for<br />
you to check out. <strong>The</strong> tires alone<br />
are bigger than all of the kids<br />
there!<br />
This super educational program<br />
is free and open to the general<br />
public. Hope to see you there.<br />

Try your hand at milking a cow… then make some ice cream and<br />
butter.<br />
Bovine Forecasters<br />
By Barb Kellar<br />
An old proverb says, “If the cows are lying down,<br />
it’s going to rain.”<br />
This is their point of view on the subject.<br />
“My joints ache,” says Bossy, the cow.<br />
“I’m udderly distracted today.<br />
I think I’ll lie down right now,<br />
Or, maybe I’ll roll in the hay.”<br />
“I’ll make the old farmer’s day,<br />
If I have all the others lay down.<br />
He’ll think that there’s rain on the way<br />
In the end he’ll look like a clown.”<br />
“In fact, it’s his fault, you know.<br />
His hands were too cold this a.m.<br />
Now he thinks there’ll be rain or snow.<br />
That will teach him to warm his hands.”<br />
A forecaster, I am not<br />
Who knows what’s coming this way.<br />
I’m no Volkman or Willard Scott<br />
I don’t get their perks or their pay.”<br />
“I get room and board, that’s all.<br />
And I’ve heard what goes on when I’m old.<br />
And then, once again, in the fall,<br />
I’m having a calf, I’ve been told.”<br />
“<strong>The</strong> human’s have all got it made<br />
<strong>The</strong>y watch their t.v.’s by the hours.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y don’t need to lay in the shade<br />
And predict probability of showers.”

Have Fork Will Travel<br />
Chestnut Mountain ~<br />
Not Just a Winter Place<br />
By JOAN BROWN<br />
What a great evening when<br />
94 members of Have Fork Will<br />
Travel (HFWT) met at Chestnut<br />
Mountain on May 12. Bill<br />
Kimball took credit for terrific<br />
weather that allowed the group<br />
to have cocktails and appetizers<br />
on the patio overlooking the<br />
Mississippi River prior to dinner.<br />
Chestnut Mountain is just<br />
about finished with the renovation<br />
of its bar area, which looks<br />
very inviting. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Territory</strong> social<br />
group had anticipated using<br />
this newly redesigned space for<br />
the night’s event, but contractors<br />
were still in the process of laying<br />
carpet. Chestnut Mountain set<br />
up a temporary bar in the foyer<br />
and dinner was served in the<br />
Sunset Grille. <strong>The</strong> management<br />
and staff worked very hard to<br />
make the group feel like family<br />
dropping in for Sunday dinner.<br />
Prime rib and walnut encrusted<br />
walleye were the primary menu<br />
choices. Most of the group took<br />
their desert of strawberry rhubarb<br />
pie a la mode on the patio<br />
to watch a wonderful sunset over<br />
the Mississippi.<br />
If you haven’t visited Chestnut<br />
Mountain recently, we certainly<br />
recommend a trip up the mountain<br />
to enjoy a fine dining experience<br />
at reasonable prices.<br />
This is a go-to summer place<br />
PEST CONTROL<br />
with friendly staff, good food<br />
and of course, great views of the<br />
Mississippi River valley. You can<br />
eat indoors or out, but if you want<br />
a guarantee on the weather, be<br />
sure to take Bill Kimball along.<br />
NEXT STOPS FOR HFWT<br />
Mark your calendars for future<br />
“travels.” On Aug. 2 we’ll be<br />
traveling to the Goldmoor Inn for<br />
a summer BBQ. You won’t want<br />
to miss our Oct. 9 date; we’re<br />
planning a fall foliage cruise on<br />
the Mississippi River. Have Fork<br />
Will Travel is open to all <strong>Territory</strong><br />
residents. To get on the notification<br />
list just send an e-mail to:<br />

Memorial Day through Labor<br />
Day, tours are available at 10<br />
a.m., 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. Selfguided<br />
tours on tapes can be<br />
checked out at the Visitor’s<br />
Center, if you would rather explore<br />
on your own.<br />
<strong>The</strong> International Crane<br />

about ecosystem restoration<br />

are wonderful and very educational.<br />
A stop at the gift shop is<br />
worthwhile where there is a selection<br />
of crane books, art, jewelry<br />
and clothing from around<br />
the world.<br />
This day trip is well worth<br />
the 111-mile drive which takes<br />
about two hours from <strong>The</strong><br />
<strong>Galena</strong> <strong>Territory</strong>. We learned<br />
so many interesting facts about<br />
these amazing birds such as: the<br />
sarus crane is the tallest flying<br />
bird in the world standing at<br />
six feet, and the cranes can fly<br />
at an altitude of 35,000 feet!<br />
It’s understandable why cranes<br />
have been included in legends<br />
and mythology around the<br />
world for centuries.<br />

Cowgirls Barrel Racing: Rodeo’s<br />
“ladies-only” event is a horse<br />
race with turns. <strong>The</strong> cowgirl’s<br />
time begins as she races her<br />
horse across the starting line.<br />
She makes her run around three<br />
barrels that are arranged in a cloverleaf<br />
pattern and then races<br />
back to the finish line where the<br />
clock stops. Touching a barrel is<br />
permitted, but knocking one over<br />
earns the cowgirl a five-second<br />
penalty, which will nearly always<br />
take her out of the money.<br />
Bull Riding: Bull riders who often weigh 150 pounds or less place a<br />
flat braided rope on a bull that often weighs 2000 pounds. <strong>The</strong> rope<br />
is around the animal, just behind its shoulders and then looped and<br />
threaded through itself. <strong>The</strong> cowboy then wraps it around his riding<br />
hand and only his grip holds him in place. <strong>The</strong> cowboy relies on leg<br />
strength and balance to make the eight-second buzzer. Youngest<br />
of all rodeo events, Bull Riding has been voted the most dangerous<br />
sporting event in America and rodeo’s most popular event.<br />
Bareback Bronc Riding: <strong>The</strong> cowboy holds onto the leather handle of a “rigging” which is a wide belt<br />
that fits around the horse’s mid-section, just behind the shoulders. <strong>The</strong> cowboy must “mark out” the<br />
animal by positioning his heels over the horse’s shoulder on the first jump out of the chute. Each time<br />
the horse kicks, the cowboy brings his knees towards his body, keeping his heels against the horse<br />
and his toes turned out (an action called spurring), then stretches his legs out again. Higher scores<br />
reflect frequent “spurring” because of the degree of difficulty involved. It is an eight-second contest<br />
often referred to as “the most physically demanding on the cowboy.<br />

A c c o r d i n g t o Wa l t e r<br />
Trentadue, president of the<br />
GAS, the continued positive<br />
response to this event shows<br />
that there is a genuine interest<br />
in the field of astronomy in the<br />
<strong>Galena</strong> area, which also demonstrates<br />
the importance of pre-<br />
serving a vanishing resource:<br />
dark night time skies. As light<br />
pollution continues to encroach<br />
upon urban areas worldwide,<br />
the <strong>Galena</strong> area still has very<br />
dark skies, which allows us<br />
to see fainter stars and deep<br />
sky objects, such as comets,<br />
nebula, star clusters and distant<br />
galaxies. This event also<br />
underscores the importance of<br />
education and expanding ho-<br />
rizons for everyone. Kids and<br />
adults love to look through a<br />
telescope!<br />
People of all ages are invited<br />
to attend, and are encouraged<br />
to bring their own telescopes.<br />
JULY 2 EVENT HIGHLIGHTS<br />
<strong>The</strong> highlights of the <strong>July</strong><br />
2nd event will include the<br />
Whirlpool Galaxy in Canes<br />
Venatici and the famous galaxies<br />

Nature in <strong>The</strong> <strong>Galena</strong> <strong>Territory</strong><br />
Frogs: Marvels of Nature<br />
By JULIE BRUSER<br />
<strong>The</strong>y are moist-skinned animals<br />
with no tail, no neck, long<br />
back legs and bulging eyes.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y do not have hair, feathers<br />
or scales. <strong>The</strong>y begin life as a<br />
water animal and later change<br />
shape and go out to live on land.<br />
Recently, scientists have discovered<br />
that some of them can even<br />
switch their gender. Yes, frogs<br />
(and toads) are true marvels of<br />
nature!<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are nearly 4,000 species<br />
of frogs and toads worldwide<br />
and every year more<br />
species are discovered. <strong>The</strong>y<br />
can be found on every continent<br />
except Antarctica (tropical<br />
regions have the most species).<br />
Fossilized remains of the earliest<br />
frogs date back 150 million<br />
years to the Jurassic period. A<br />
frog found preserved in amber<br />
in the Dominican Republic is<br />
believed to be 30 to 40 million<br />
years old. Frogs have been<br />
around for a long time and if<br />
humans don’t manage to wipe<br />
them out with pollutants and<br />
Photo by Rich Mattas.<br />
pesticides, they should still be<br />
around for a lot longer.<br />

Continued from Page 68<br />
As you may remember from<br />
biology class, frogs and toads<br />
make up the order Anura, one<br />
of the three main groups of<br />
amphibians. Toads differ from<br />
frogs mainly by appearance<br />
– they have a broader, flatter<br />
body and darker, drier skin, and<br />
the majority of toads live on<br />
land while frogs live in or near<br />
water.<br />
Frogs and toads are hatched<br />
from eggs that were laid in<br />
water and covered with a jellylike<br />
substance. <strong>The</strong>y begin life<br />
as larvae, better known as tadpoles<br />
that breathe with gills. As<br />
they develop, the larvae grow<br />
legs, lose the gills and move to<br />
land.<br />
<strong>The</strong> skin of frogs is quite<br />
amazing, because it serves many<br />
purposes – as a temperature regulator,<br />
a respirator, an organ for<br />
water absorption, and the site of<br />
glands that secrete mucous and<br />
poison. <strong>The</strong>ir skin will often<br />
change colors with changes in<br />
temperature – turning light on<br />
hot days to reflect the sun’s rays<br />
and turning dark on cold days to<br />
absorb the rays.<br />
Frogs are carnivores, eating<br />
mainly insects, earthworms,<br />
minnows and spiders. Most<br />
use their sticky tongues to capture<br />
prey, which they swallow<br />
whole. To aid in the swallowing<br />
process, the frog’s eyes<br />
sink through openings in the<br />
skull and force the food down<br />
the throat. <strong>The</strong> Bullfrog is the<br />
largest frog in Illinois and consequently<br />
can eat much larger<br />
prey. In fact, they eat almost<br />
anything they can at least partially<br />
swallow—including birds,<br />
snakes, fish and even bats.<br />
Here in Jo Daviess County,<br />
we have 10 species of frogs<br />
and toads: American Toad,<br />
Bullfrog, Cricket Frog, Green<br />
Frog, Grey Tree Frog, Northern<br />
Leopard Frog, Pickerel Frog,<br />
Spring Peeper, Western Chorus<br />
Frog and Wood Frog. <strong>The</strong><br />
Illinois Department of Natural<br />
Resources (IDNR) has a great<br />
Web site where you can go to<br />
see photos and hear the sounds<br />
of Illinois frogs: www.dnr.state.<br />
il.us/education/CLASSRM/<br />
aquatic/frogs_toads.htm.<br />
Bullfrogs, which can be eight<br />
inches in length and weigh over<br />
a pound, are native to Illinois,<br />
but their populations have<br />
grown rapidly, making some<br />
scientists concerned because<br />
they are displacing other species.<br />
Humans are responsible<br />
for the population growth due<br />
to pond stocking, the pet trade<br />
and deepening wetlands to<br />
make permanent ponds which<br />
Bullfrogs need to survive.<br />
As I write this article, I hear a<br />
chorus of Chorus Frogs, Spring<br />
Peepers and Bullfrogs! <strong>The</strong>se<br />
amazing creatures are welcome<br />
in my yard and I hope to keep<br />
them there by using minimal<br />
amounts of fertilizers and pes-<br />

Dubuque Symphony<br />
Orchestra Announces<br />
Its 53rd Season<br />
<strong>The</strong> Dubuque Symphony<br />
Orchestra (DSO) is excited<br />
to announce its <strong>2011</strong>-2012<br />
season, a season of beloved<br />
masterpieces and bold new<br />
sounds. <strong>The</strong> classics programs<br />
not only feature well-known<br />
works by composers such as<br />
Rachmaninoff, Mozart and<br />
Tchaikovsky, but also include<br />
pieces by less familiar composers<br />
from around the globe.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Dubuque Symphony<br />
Orchestra’s 53rd season is designed<br />
to fascinate, challenge<br />
and inspire.<br />
<strong>The</strong> orchestra is joined by<br />
soloists all season, including<br />
violinist Miriam Fried, DSO<br />
principal pianist Joshua Russell,<br />
and several young Juilliardtrained<br />
artists: Dubuque-native<br />
and cellist Bridget Pasker, percussionist<br />
Kyle Brightwell and<br />
pianist Euntaek Kim.<br />
SEASON OVERVIEW<br />
Oct. 1 - 2, <strong>2011</strong>: <strong>The</strong> season<br />
opens with an all-Russian<br />
program featuring Glinka’s<br />
“ R u s s l a n & L u d m i l l a<br />
Over ture,” Tchaikovsky’s<br />
“Variations on a Rococo<br />
<strong>The</strong>me” with cellist Bridget<br />
Pasker, and Rachmaninoff ’s<br />
Second Symphony. In a voting<br />
contest the DSO musicians<br />
chose this piece as the sym-<br />
phony they would most like to<br />
perform.<br />
Nov. 19 - 20, <strong>2011</strong>: <strong>The</strong> DSO<br />
takes the audience on a musical<br />
journey around the world.<br />
Coleridge-Taylor’s rhapsodic<br />
dance “<strong>The</strong> Bamboula” is followed<br />
by two works featuring<br />
DSO principal pianist Joshua<br />
Russell: “Grande Tarantelle” by<br />
American composer Gottschalk<br />
and a lesser-known work by<br />
Haitian composer Elie titled<br />
“Tropical Fantasy.” <strong>The</strong> DSO<br />
also performs Dvorak’s thrillingly<br />
romantic Symphony No.<br />
7 and Danzon No. 2, a Latin<br />
American dance written by<br />
Mexican composer Marquez.<br />
Feb. 11 - 12, 2012: A concert<br />
dedicated to two brilliant<br />
composers: Mozart and<br />
Brahms. Opening the concert<br />

to Don Giovanni” followed by<br />
his Symphony No. 39. Violinist<br />
Miriam Fried joins the DSO<br />
during the second half for<br />
Brahms Violin Concerto, a<br />
piece known for its brilliant<br />
vigor, tender lyricism and technical<br />
challenges. Miriam Fried<br />
has been recognized for many<br />
years as one of the world’s preeminent<br />
violinists appearing<br />
with virtually every major orchestra<br />
in the United States and<br />
Europe.<br />
March 17 - 18, 2012: Mendelssohn’s<br />
“<strong>The</strong> Hebrides”<br />
is one of many pieces on this<br />

This is the seventh in a series of articles on<br />
Rivers to Ridges, a developing network of old and<br />
new northwest Illinois outdoor recreation sites<br />
under the umbrella of the Jo Daviess Conservation<br />
Foundation. This month we feature two sites in<br />
<strong>Galena</strong>, both easily accessible to <strong>Territory</strong> residents.<br />
It’s summer and the time is right for us to<br />
enjoy the great outdoors. Here are two connected<br />

From the Jo Daviess Conservation Foundation<br />
“Rivers to Ridges” Featured Sites:<br />
<strong>Galena</strong> River Trail and<br />
Buehler Preserve<br />
Rivers to Ridges sites that will help you enjoy this<br />
month’s lengthening days and increasing warmth.<br />
GALENA RIVER TRAIL<br />
In the late 1880s, <strong>The</strong> Chicago and Great Western<br />
Railroad constructed a spur line into <strong>Galena</strong> from<br />
its mainline tracks along the Mississippi River. A<br />
depot at the junction served as a transfer point for<br />
<strong>Galena</strong>-bound passengers. Trains ran on this spur<br />
line until after World War II, and in the 1960s, the<br />

Continued from Page 72<br />
abandoned tracks were ripped out<br />
and the dilapidated depot was torn<br />
down.<br />
Today, the <strong>Galena</strong> River Trail<br />
follows this 3.5 mile roadbed from<br />
the trailhead at a parking area<br />
below the U.S. Hwy. 20 bridge<br />
in <strong>Galena</strong> to the site of the razed<br />
depot at <strong>Galena</strong> Junction. <strong>The</strong> flat,<br />
hard-packed trail parallels the meandering<br />
<strong>Galena</strong> River as it cuts<br />
through limestone bluffs and spans<br />
wetland fills. If there’s still snow<br />
on the ground, take your cross-<br />
country skis or snowshoes, but for<br />
most of the year you’ll find it’s an<br />
easily negotiated hiking and biking<br />
trail which offers ample views of<br />
the river and excellent glimpses<br />
of the wildlife living on its banks.<br />
Interpretive signage along the way<br />
explains the various plant cultures<br />
you encounter, as well as the history<br />
of <strong>Galena</strong> Junction.<br />
If you head north from the<br />
trailhead, a recent expansion of<br />
the trail follows the river atop<br />
the east side levee to the Meeker<br />
Street foot bridge. Across the<br />
COMMUNITYFOCUS<br />
<strong>Territory</strong> Times<br />
bridge, one extension adjacent<br />
to Stagecoach Trail proceeds to<br />
<strong>Galena</strong>’s Recreation Park on the<br />
west side of the river. On the east<br />
side, another takes you further<br />
along the levy to the Jo Daviess<br />
Conservation Foundation (JDCF)’s<br />
Buehler Preserve. Before reaching<br />
the preserve, you pass between<br />
two frog ponds where you’ll see<br />
turtles sunning themselves on logs<br />
while the almost deafening chorus<br />
of spring peepers assures you that<br />
the seasons are indeed changing.<br />
No matter what the season, you can journey along the <strong>Galena</strong> River Trail. Contributed photos.<br />
BUEHLER PRESERVE<br />
Buehler Preserve is a nature<br />
preserve on a floodplain prairie<br />
that sits on the <strong>Galena</strong> River<br />
banks at the north end of the<br />
<strong>Galena</strong> River Trail. Named for<br />
former <strong>Galena</strong> Mayor Robert<br />
Buehler, who donated the land,<br />
it is a prime place to enjoy the<br />
river, prairie and forested bluffs.<br />
A flat, mown loop trail offers superb<br />
birding and access to tucked<br />
away fishing spots. For several<br />
years, the JDCF has conducted<br />
a prairie restoration project with<br />
controlled burns and selected<br />
seeding that is returning the previously<br />
farmed land to its natural<br />
state. Spring hikes here allow<br />
you to observe prairie plants as<br />
they emerge from the soil and<br />
eventually burst into a profusion<br />
of bloom.<br />
