In the year 1892, the Village of Antioch was incorporated and today – 125 years later – the spirit and growth of the community is being celebrated throughout 2017. While the village has long been known for its many activities, this year will be extra special. Working together, the Department of Parks and Recreation, the Antioch Chamber of Commerce, Lakes Region Historical Society, and the clubs, schools and churches of the community have arranged for a year of celebration. This year’s 125th celebration will include new activities and, according to Barbara Porch, executive director of the Chamber of Commerce, some of the traditional activities will be “supersized.” Banners commemorating Antioch’s past and present and acknowledging the 125th celebration will soon be seen hanging from the light poles in downtown Antioch.

A 23-year-old man was revived by sheriff’s deputies with the use of Naloxone and CPR at approximately 6:20 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 18, in the 33600 block of N. Evergreen Drive, Grayslake, according to a Lake County Sheriff’s Office press release. According to the release, deputies found the 23-yearold man unconscious and not breathing. “Deputies determined the man was likely suffering an opioid overdose and Deputy Ashley Pomazal administered two doses of Naloxone,” the press release states. Deputy Michael Bassi performed CPR, before a third dose of Naloxone was administered, according to the release. The man then started breathing on his own and regained consciousness. The man was transported to a local hospital, where he’s expected to recover. This is the fifth life saved from opioid overdose by Lake County Sheriff’s Deputies in this year, according to the release.

The Largest Wine, Beer & Spirits Selection in Lake County

By Gail Peckler-Dziki CORRESPONDENT

Village of Salem Lakes, Wis., Transition Committee discussed on Feb. 20 merging storm water, sewer fees and property taxes, on suggestion from Interim Village Administrator Pat Casey. Along with Transition Committee Chairwoman Diann Tesar, members Ted Kmiec, Mike Culat and Dan Campion were in attendance. Village President Bruce Nopenz was absent while Dennis Faber was excused. In an explanation to the committee, Casey said the Town of Salem and Village of Silver Lake had used different funding formulas and collected fees differently. While the Town of Salem billed residents quarterly, the Village of Silver Lake assessed the fee on the tax bill. Fees for Salem were $60 annually and the Village of Silver Lake was nearly double. “We need to talk to the engineer about which formula for assessing the fee is the one that should be used, and then we need to decide if all will be billed quarterly, or if it will be put on the tax bill,” Casey said.

“So there might be no utility bill in March for the storm water.” Tesar asked whether the next bill would get doubled for Salem area residents and told Casey that was not a good idea. “You should just go ahead with the March billing,” she said. Tesar also questioned why fees for Silver Lake area residents were not just reduced, but Casey said a discussion with engineers is needed. Casey, noting the merger of a state identification number, said the levy and tax bill would not occur until 2018. “During the first call with the Department of Revenue it seemed as though we would get one ID number and have one levy and one tax bill,” he said. “By the time we got to the second phone call,” Casey said, “That had changed.” For 2017, there will be a tax bill for the Village of Silver Lake and another for the Town of Salem, accounting for two levies, but one budget.

who works for the Village of Pleasant Prairie. Last year, Silver Lake area residents had a reassessment, which leaves the Salem area for a reassessment next year. “By 2019, we will all be on the same schedule,” Casey said. Additionally, the Transition Committee unanimously approved a recommendation to the Salem Lakes village to authorize Salem area invoices. The committee also approved minutes from the last transition committee meeting. Casey asked the committee, which they agreed to, if he could have an architect review possible remodeling plans at the Salem Town Hall to prepare for the change to have day-today operations conducted there.

Salem Lakes fills trustee vacancy Village appoints Bill Hopkins after interviewing three

By Gail Peckler-Dziki

CORRESPONDENT

With three candidates considered to fill the trustee seat left vacant when Dan Withers resigned from the Silver Lake, Wis., Village Board, the now-Salem Lakes Village Board appointed Bill Hopkins. Along with Hopkins, the other two candidates, Cindy Thommes and Alexandra Robinson, were all residents of Silver Lake. Robinson, who was not able to attend the recent appointment meeting, had her husband, Jake, sit in for her. Village President Bruce Nopenz asked each candidate to tell a little about him or herself. Then, he asked each why they were interested in sitting on the Village Board, what they thought the responsibility of a trustee was and vision for the village. When the three were done, Nopenz instructed his board to write the name of their choice on a ballot, which was then passed to him. At that point, he asked for a motion to appoint Hopkins, when five voted for Hopkins and one went to another applicant. The motion was made and the vote to appoint Hopkins was unanimous. Hopkins, a 28-year resident of the village, was a member of the Silver Lake Fire Department from 1990

to 2002 and attained the rank of captain. He was also a member of the Silver Lake dive team from 1994 to 2002. Hopkins was president of the Riverview School board in the mid-1990s and volunteered for Lakeland Little League, Lakes Area Soccer, Lakeland Youth Softball and Western Kenosha County Youth Football. Hopkins, a former Master Chief Petty Officer, retired from the United States Navy in 1993 after 20 years. He then retired from Abbott Laboratories/Hospira as a senior manager, global compliance training. In his letter of interest, Hopkins explained that the community and schools swayed his decision to move to Silver Lake. “During the past 28 years, we have seen board members come and go, good and not so good. Village boards create environments by which families pick their home,” he wrote. “Providing a safe, secure, friendly and financially affordable community,” Hopkins’ letter continued, “are core values which help bring prosperity and happiness that families strive for today.” Hopkins, in the interview with the Village Board, said he believes in fiscal responsibility of governmental bodies.

Push-ups honor vets

Antioch Community High School Principal Bradford Hubbard (from bottom of photo), Trustee Ted Poulos, Trustee Jerry Johnson, Mayor Larry Hanson, an unidentified ACHS student, and Antioch Police Chief Steve Huffman hit the deck for the 22 Push-Up Challenge during the Village Board Meeting at the Antioch Village Hall on Feb 20. The challenge was started by an organization named 22Kill, which has asked individuals and groups to upload videos of themselves doing push-ups. The group hopes to collect videos of 22 million pushups being done. The number 22 was cited from a report by the Department of Veterans Affairs, which determined that, on average, 22 veterans commit suicide each day in the United States. The Challenge is meant to both honor the men and women who have served the country and to raise awareness for the prevention of veteran suicides through empowerment and education. The Wauconda Police Department challenged Chief Huffman and the Antioch Police Department to complete the 22 push-up quest, which they successfully did. In turn, Chief Huffman challenged a number of other local police departments including Lake Villa, Lindenhurst, and Schaumburg, ACHS, and a surprised Village Board to do the same. The high school and the board successfully completed the task.

Slices of life

You should never…

There are certain things in life that prudent, forwardthinking people avoid. Like putting their tongue on a frozen metal fence, or being outnumbered by their kids. Certain actions just aren’t wise and some can even get you into trouble. These are things, that if you are thinking logically, you will never do. For instance, you should never… Litter. Eat crackers in bed. Smoke in bed – or anywhere for that matter. Overflow the bathtub. Overflow the toilet (even worse). Show up late to work. Show up late to a movie. Show up late. It’s rude. You should never be rude. At least not on purpose. Text while driving.

Trustee questions St. Patrick’s Day events mayor’s insurance He’s the only elected official who receives village benefits By Gail Peckler-Dziki CORRESPONDENT

An Antioch village trustee questioned why the village is paying for Mayor Larry Hanson’s life, medical and dental insurance at the Feb 20 Village Board meeting. Ed Macek asked if the village paying for Hanson’s insurance is in compliance with the Affordable Care Act. “Is it OK that the village pays for insurance for the mayor but no other elected officials? And does the mayor actually work the 30 required hours a week,” asked Macek. Macek also said it could be discrimination that none of the other elected officials receive that benefit. And it was never voted on in any Village Board meeting, he contends. He also questioned why no wage policy review was done. Village attorney Bob Long said it had to be done 180 days prior to Election Day. Long is also attorney for Winthrop Harbor and presented that village with a wage policy review and ratified an ordinance about it in September 2016. Trustee Scott Pierce said there is no resolution regarding insurance for elected officials and research needs to be done, “to get our ducks in a row.”

Currently, Hanson receives $12,000 in stipend and an additional $16,100 in other benefits. The dental insurance benefit costs $360, medical is $10,000, life insurance is $300 and IMRF (Illinois retirement fund) is $1,300, according to officials. A sign of confusion Economic Development Director Michael Garrigan sent a letter to the owner of the BP gas station at highways 173 and 59 regarding a non-conforming sign. However, the village noticed the sign placed at the corner of North Ave and Route 83 did not conform to the current village ordinance. Macek questioned Garrigan about the mix-up. Village Administrator Jim Keim asked why the matter wasn’t handled with a phone call rather than in a public forum. Macek said that he wanted things cleared up and this seemed the best way to handle the issue, given the problems with the Culver’s sign and the permit that was issued without board approval. Garrigan said the matter would be cleared up.

Polar Plunge warms coffers

JUDE KAIDER Hi-Liter

Above: Members of the “Crew 185” team complete their frigid Polar Plunge goal in Fox Lake on the shores of Lakefront Park on Sunday. The team members were amongst the 300-plus participants in the 2017 edition of the Plunge presented by the Law Enforcement Torch Run and GEICO and a number of local sponsors. At right: The ubiquitous Blues Brothers cooly and calmly emerge from the depths of Fox Lake during the Polar Plunge. The event is a statewide initiative in support of Special Olympics athletes. Participants must raise $100 in donations and, in turn, are given the distinction of jumping into a frigid body of water. Participants in Fox Lake endured strong winds and temperatures hovering at 40 degrees making for a chilly experience. The water temperature was in the mid-30s.

Former school group treasurer sentenced Mener, of Twin Lakes, pleaded guilty to theft

By Jason Arndt STAFF WRITER

A 45-year-old former treasurer of Randall, Wis., Consolidated School Parent-Teacher Club will spend 18 months behind bars following a Feb. 15 sentencing hearing in Kenosha County Circuit Court. Terra Mener, of Twin Lakes, Wis., pleaded guilty to felony charges of theft in a business setting over $10,000 at a Dec. 12 hearing in Circuit Court Judge David Bastianelli’s courtroom, according to online court records. The former club treasurer, who initially faced maximum imprisonment of 10 years, also received 42 months of extended supervision as part of plea agreement, which included restitution, court records state. Mener, the Randall PTC treasurer for 3-1/2 years, was confronted two years ago by another member of the student group about the availability of bank statements, a

criminal complaint reports. However, after several excuses, the member of the student group went to BMO Harris Bank in Twin Lakes, where she discovered money missing from their accounts. “It had been reported by the defendant to her that there should be approximately $39,000 in the checking account,” the complaint states. “When she went in on January 15, 2015, she discovered there was only $16,167.43 in the account.” Additionally, Mener claimed about $10,000 in the savings account for the Randall PTC, but upon investigation, the account had only $60. Five days later, the club member confronted Mener at her Twin Lakes home, where Mener reportedly admitted taking $25,000 for personal use. The complaint reported Mener ceased embezzling funds from the account two years ago, and the money

she took went to support her drug habit, for which Mener entered a drug treatment program. According to the criminal complaint, investigators uncovered 68 total unauthorized cash withdrawals scattered among BMO Harris Bank branches in Paddock Lake, Burlington, Twin Lakes and McHenry, Ill. In the ensuing investigation, authorities reviewed Mener’s personal bank accounts at Guaranty Bank, which indicated deposits had been made on the same day she was accused of withdrawing funds from the PTC account. The complaint contends that, according to the Randall PTC bylaws, a single person cannot make a withdrawal from the group’s account. Mener, who was bound over for trial in October, initially pleaded not guilty a month later, court records state.

Above: Members of the “Crew 185” team complete their frigid Polar Plunge goal in Fox Lake on the shores of Lakefront Park on Sunday. The team members were amongst the 300-plus participants in the 2017 edition of the Plunge presented by the Law Enforcement Torch Run and GEICO and a number of local sponsors. At right: The ubiquitous Blues Brothers cooly and calmly emerge from the depths of Fox Lake during the Polar Plunge. The event is a statewide initiative in support of Special Olympics athletes. Participants must raise $100 in donations and, in turn, are given the distinction of jumping into a frigid body of water. Participants in Fox Lake endured strong winds and temperatures hovering at 40 degrees making for a chilly experience. The water temperature was in the mid-30s. This year, thousands of plungers will participate at 22 locations across the state. All proceeds collected by plungers benefit the 22,000 traditional athletes and 20,000 Young Athletes of Special Olympics Illinois. The Fox Lake drive raised over $67,000 as of Sunday. Donations will still be accepted through April 28 for the Special Olympians.

Quilts serve multiple purposes By

Jason Arndt

STAFF WRITER

hen a quilt is made and given to someone as a gift, the blanket is often used for warmth in the cold winter months. But the quilts serve several purposes. According to Heather Deegan, who owns Buttons and Bolts Quilt Shop in Salem, Wis., gifted quilts are symbolic at special engagements. Special engagements include, but are not limited to, baby showers, wedding anniversaries and holidays. “It is something that is very heartfelt,” said Deegan. “It can be used as an heirloom to be passed on to other generations.” Westosha Central High School teacher Denise Laabs, who instructs students on quilt making through a Fashion and Design course, agreed. “It’s giving love to someone who maybe doesn’t always have a chance to experience love on a regular basis,” said Laabs, who picked up the hobby about 10 years ago. Laabs has applied a personal touch to her hobby, making quilts

from old clothing for her six grandchildren. The endeavor takes several months, Deegan said, starting with someone cutting up fabric to sew together, known as piecing. Following piecing, quilting begins, with quilters adding layers of matting, backing fabric and stitching more layers of fabric. While most quilters assemble the blanket by machine, Deegan said some still sew the quilt by hand. Assembling a full-size quilt takes about 40 hours along with costs associated with supplies, she said. Once completed, in time alone, the value is about $400, but does not include fabric expenses, which is approximately another $150. Although the process is labor intensive, quilt makers find the activity an artful expression, Deegan states. “It is definitely a hobby now. Before it used to be utilitarian,” she said. The hobby is extensive, according to QuiltGuilds.com, which shows nearly 100 quilting guilds or clubs in Wisconsin alone. QuiltGuilds.com lists guilds

in all 50 states, in addition to Canadian provinces. Of the guilds listed, there are more than six in the Southern Lakes Newspapers coverage area, which also includes one guild in Northern Illinois. “It’s a very large community, there are a lot of people that do it,” said Deegan. “That I am aware of, there are probably a few clubs in this area that meet one or two times a month to discuss quilting.” In addition to discussion, club members invite experts into their groups to give pointers, she said. “Sometimes they have a lecturer come in and speak, they do some show and tell, where they like to show off what they have been doing,” Deegan said. Meanwhile, the hobby also serves a teaching lesson in Laabs’ class at Westosha Central.

education. Laabs points to the application of math, which focuses on geometry and fractions, including instructions on reading a ruler and precise measurement. For engineering and technology, her students use computer software to design patterns, which are applied throughout the process, and use multiple sewing platforms. “It allows students to lose themselves in creativity,” she said. After months of manufacturing the quilt, students learn another lesson, giving back to the community.

Community contributions

The quilts are donated to local nonprofit organizations, including The Sharing Center, Horizon’s Shelter for Battered Women and Future quilters Children, Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin in Wauwatosa and area Laabs instructs about 35 to 40 students annually on the craft and cancer benefits. Laabs said local nursing homes said there are some elements of also receive quilts. STEM involved. STEM, or Science, Technology, “Students sometimes have an elderly relative or friend they’d Engineering and Mathematics, like to share one with,” she said. involves critical thinking skills, Along with local organizations, and is a mainstay in modern

the students contribute quilts to their annual spring charity Fashion and Art Show, which selects a specific charity every year. “This year the girls are making a patriotic quilt and a Green Bay Packer quilt, and the charity will be for ‘All the Right Reasons Foundation…helping our homeless, unemployed vets and active troops,” she said. The student benefits, she said, are two-fold, including teaching the value of serving the community. “What an amazing opportunity for students to learn and experience the concept of giving back to the community, just because it’s the right thing to do,” said Laabs, who also reports students carry the hobby with them following graduation. “At least half of my students continue to quilt after they graduate. I have former students come back to use the Gammill long-arm quilting machine and share with me how much they still enjoy the art.” A Gammill long-arm quilting machine, according to its website, uses specialized software and a computer controlled machine to make precise stitches.
