Health officials warn of possible measles exposure
Renovated theater reopens Community rallied ‘round historic venue By Jude Kaider
CORRESPONDENT
Despite the single-digit temperatures and a bone-chilling wind, a crowd of village officials and residents gathered at the Antioch Theatre, 378 Lake St., to watch the re-lighting of the theatre’s new marquee on Thursday. Theatre employees passed out bags of popcorn to those shivering souls in attendance and this was followed by a countdown ending with the lighting of the theatre’s new beacon. The event marked the end of a major renovation project and the beginning of a new chapter in the landmark’s nearly century-old life. The structure, originally named the Majestic Theatre, opened in 1919 in a post-World War I, pre-prohibition, Black Sox-scandaled America. Initially, the venue featured live entertainment. Its renaming and transmutation into a movie theater took place five years later. In recent years, the building found itself sorely in need of both interior and exterior updating and repair, including electrical and sprinkler systems. The theatre also faced pressure from the ever-influential Digital Age. Up until its closure, movies were shown using a complex film projection system. Movie distributors now require theatres to have digital, rather than film, projectors. Unless action was taken, Antioch was in danger of losing another landmark. A local real estate developer, Tim Downey, decided to take that action. Downey was the prime mover behind the renovation. He initiated a

Antioch real estate developer Tim Downey gives the signal to turn on the new marquee of the remodeled Antioch Theatre, 378 Lake St., on Thursday. Downey was the driving force behind the project to renovate and save the Antioch landmark. Corporate and individual contributions, along with a loan from the village made successful completion of the project possible. Single-digit temperatures did not deter the village officials, theatre staff, and members of the public who were on hand to watch the historic moment.
Local residents who may have been at the Menards store in Long Grove are warned to be aware of possible exposure to the measles virus. While there are no current cases of measles in Lake County, the County Health Department and Community Health Center issued the alert last week. People who visited or worked at the Menards store, 2700 W. Lake Cook Road in Long Grove, on Sunday, Feb. 15, between 7:55 a.m. and 3:20 p.m., may have been exposed. An individual who has tested positive for measles was at the store at that date and time and could have been contagious. The Menards store is cooperating with the Health Department and the Illinois Department of Public Health. Customers and employees may visit their health care provider, or individuals 14 years of age or older may be vaccinated at their local pharmacy. Potentially exposed pregnant women should contact their obstetrician/gynecologist. With some exceptions, persons born before 1957 are considered immune to measles and do not need vaccination. As of last week there were 15 confirmed cases of measles in Illinois. All the current Illinois cases are in Cook County. Nationwide, more than 150 cases of measles have been confirmed in numerous states. The Health Department is reminding residents that the best way to protect against measles is to get the measles, mumps, rubella vaccine.
