Rules for RVs, theater parking raise concerns
By Gail Peckler-Dziki CORRESPONDENT
Whether its recreational vehicles parked in residential areas or if there are enough parking spaces for patrons of local theaters, the Antioch Village Board wants to take an in-depth look at the village’s parking ordinances. Village Trustee Mary Dominiak at the Dec. 16 Committee of the Whole meeting requested a review of the village ordinance regarding parking. “I’ve had complaints from neighbors about where boats, RVs and other large vehicles can be parked.” She said where some people are parking these larger vehicles doesn’t please some of their neighbors. Certain subdivisions have homeowner’s covenants that the village cannot enforce, but there is a parking ordinance that governs the rest of the village. Trustee Jay Jozwiak said there are certain requirements for the number of parking spaces for theaters and restaurants that aren’t followed. “We have over 200 seats in the Antioch Theater and I don’t
know how many at PM&L,” he said, “and there aren’t the corresponding number of parking spaces available.” “These destination points bring business into the village and we ought to make sure that the village has enough parking to accommodate this,” Trustee Ed Macek said. “A large part of village funds come from sales tax. And part of this ordinance makes it impossible for delivery trucks to park to unload.” Trustee Scott Pierce reminded the board that “People come to Antioch for recreation. They enjoy the lakes, rivers and campgrounds here.” He said that every fall, he parks his boat on the street and cleans and washes it before storing it for the winter. “Our ordinances allows for the boat to be on the street, without being attached to the car, for 13 hours,” Pierce said. “It takes me a weekend but its gone by Monday.” “Let us know the next time you are doing it,” Dominiak quipped, “so we can make sure you get a ticket.” The board suggested that

Story of village’s incorporation has many twists
By Sandra Landen Machaj CORRESPONDENT
For most communities, becoming incorporated is a pretty simple act and one that is accomplished in a straightforward manner. For the Village of Johnsburg the process was a bit more complicated and featured many twists and turns. The journey began in 1841 when Nicholas Frett, Jacob Schmitt, and Nicholas Adams made the journey from the Eiffel region in Germany to the United States. They arrived in the area that today we recognize as Johnsburg on Aug. 2 after leaving their families in Chicago while they searched for farmland on which to build their new lives. The men were farmers, seeking to escape high taxes in their homeland, which was then ruled by Prussia. Prussia was trying to recover financially from the Napoleonic Wars and placed the burden of high taxation on the farmers to fund
their needs. The farmers were hard pressed to pay the excessive taxes as the soil was in poor shape and crops were not growing well. It is believed that these Catholic farmers also suffered from religious persecution as the country was turning to Protestantism. On arrival to this area of McHenry County, these three men were impressed by the land and the nearby Fox River and Pistakee Lake, which would provide adequate water for their crops and livestock. The lake and river were a source of waterfowl, which could be hunted for food. They purchased land in the area and their farming community – which they named Johnsburg – was born. So pleased with their new community, they wrote to friends and families in Germany to encourage them to come and also start a new life. Many

Facility was site of two recent arrests Village of Fox Lake officials will consider revoking the license of a local spa, which has twice been the site of prostitution allegations in the past six months. On Dec. 15, the Lake County Gang Task Force in conjunction with the Fox Lake Police Department conducted an investigation into reported prostitution, which allegedly occurred at Lake Spa, 31 Town Center Lane, Fox Lake. During the investigation, LiYun Liu, 48, of the 200 block of 24th Street, Chicago, allegedly offered to perform a sexual act on an undercover detective in exchange for money. Following this offer, Liu was arrested without incident. She was charged with one count of prostitution (class A misdemeanor). Liu is due in court on Jan. 21, at 9 a.m. in courtroom C-404. The first arrest made at Lake Spa for prostitution occurred on June 29. Yan Jian, 50, of the 15400 block of Highway 59, Plainfield, was arrested by Fox Lake police for operating an illegal massage parlor. She was arrested after allegedly offering to perform a sexual act on an
undercover detective for money. Fox Lake Mayor Donny Schmit said, “I asked the Lake County Gang Task Force to investigate the activities occurring at Lake Spa and I’m very happy with the fast results.” Sheriff Mark Curran said prostitution is not a victimless crime. “The Lake County Sheriff’s Office will continue to actively arrest johns who solicit prostitutes and those offering sex acts for money, while searching for victims of human trafficking,” he said. The Fox Lake Police Department has become the newest member of the Lake County Gang Task Force. The Lake County Gang Task Force is a multijurisdictional task force, run by the Lake County Sheriff’s Office, consisting of local, county and federal agencies. “I’m proud of the strong working relationship the Village of Fox Lake has established with the Lake County Sheriff’s Office, especially over the past several months. This is a long-term affiliation Fox

Sheriff’s Office warns residents of phone scam The Lake County Sheriff’s Office has received reports of residents getting fraudulent telephone calls from individuals representing themselves as someone from the Lake County Sheriff’s Office. The offenders are using tools to disguise their telephone number, making it appear on
recipients’ caller identification as a phone number used by the Sheriff’s Office. Here are some safety tips to deal with such calls. • Don’t give identifying or personal information to anyone over the telephone unless you have confirmed who you are speaking with.
• Don’t provide payment information to anyone over the phone unless you have initiated the conversation • If you are not sure of a caller’s identity, ask for their name and callback number, then hang up and verify their information via the Internet or telephone book
• If a caller is asking for someone who isn’t home, tell the caller they can’t come to the telephone versus informing the caller you could be home alone • If you think you’ve received a fraudulent telephone call, contact the Lake County Sheriff’s Office at (847) 377-4000.

Antique quilts to go on display at Opera House Nine antique quilts from the McHenry County Historical Society’s collection will be on display Jan. 5 through Feb. 29 at the Woodstock Opera House. The quilts, dating from the 1860s through 1950s, are available for public viewing from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays, and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays in the Community Room gallery. They also may be seen before, after and during performances. The fourth annual show features several unique patterns, ranging from a “Robbing Peter to Pay Paul” design to a 1880s “Crazy Quilt” featuring odd shapes and a haphazard pattern, to a snowflake variation dating from the 1930s. The “Double T” celebrated an 1868 marriage in Crystal Lake and a “Bear Paw” variation was quilted by Henry P. Allen in 1898 for his daughter – one

of five children he and his wife, Louisa, raised on their Woodstock farm. For information about the society or its Heritage Quilters, visit www. gothistory.org. The group’s newest raffle quilt, “Pieceful Garden,” is reminiscent of the 1930s and features a simple nine-patch block with a consistent yellow center; a Jacob’s ladder block of white and pastel colors; and a center medallion of appliqued flowers. True to its name, it consists of a whopping 856
blocks. Early quilts often had many scraps of coordinating fabric, and this was the norm during the Depression and 1930s. While this is not a true charm quilt of the period, where every piece is of a different fabric, it gives the impression of great variety. Tickets are $1 each or six for $5. The drawing will be at around 3 p.m. Friday, Nov. 11, 2016, at the McHenry County Historical Society Museum in Union. The winner need not be present. For information, call (815) 923-2267.

Local spa targeted for prostitution Facility was site of two recent arrests
Village of Fox Lake officials will consider revoking the license of a local spa, which has twice been the site of prostitution allegations in the past six months. On Dec. 15, the Lake County Gang Task Force in conjunction with the Fox Lake Police Department conducted an investigation into reported prostitution, which allegedly occurred at Lake Spa, 31 Town Center Lane, Fox Lake. During the investigation, LiYun Liu, 48, of the 200 block of 24th Street, Chicago, allegedly offered to perform a sexual act on an undercover detective in exchange for money. Following this offer, Liu was arrested without incident. She was charged with one count of prostitution (class A misdemeanor). Liu is due in court on Jan. 21, at 9 a.m. in courtroom C-404. The first arrest made at Lake Spa for prostitution occurred on June 29. Yan Jian, 50, of the 15400 block of Highway

59, Plainfield, was arrested by Fox Lake police for operating an illegal massage parlor. She was arrested after allegedly offering to perform a sexual act on an undercover detective for money. Fox Lake Mayor Donny Schmit said, “I asked the Lake County Gang Task Force to investigate the activities occurring at Lake Spa and I’m very happy with the fast results.” Sheriff Mark Curran said prostitution is not a victimless crime. “The Lake County Sheriff’s Office will continue to actively arrest johns who solicit prostitutes and those offering sex acts for money, while searching for victims of human trafficking,” he said. The Fox Lake Police Department has become the newest member of the Lake County Gang Task Force. The Lake County Gang Task Force is a multijurisdictional task force, run by the Lake County Sheriff’s Office, consisting of local, county and federal agencies.
“I’m proud of the strong working relationship the Village of Fox Lake has established with the Lake County Sheriff’s Office, especially over the past several months. This is a long-term affiliation Fox Lake intends on maintaining,” Schmit said. Since the inception of the task force in July, the task force has doubled in size. The task force is responsible to combat, prevent and interdict criminal gang activity in Lake County. The areas of enforcement are included but not limited to narcotics, human trafficking, gun trafficking and money laundering all of which are a means to further gang activity. “The Lake County Sheriff’s Office is pleased to welcome the Fox Lake Police Department as the newest member of the Lake County Gang Task Force,” Undersheriff Ray Rose said. “The Gang Task Force has been very successful, working aggressively throughout Lake County to keep our community safe.”

Antioch Police Officer Nick Garcia receives his certification for becoming a Master Patrol Tactics Officer from Antioch Police Chief Steve Huffman Dec. 7 at an Antioch Village Board meeting. The certification will enable Garcia to train other department members in advanced police tactics.
Police officer earns master status
By Gail Peckler-Dziki CORRESPONDENT
Antioch police officer Nick Garcia recently became one of 29 Illinois police officers to earn the designation of Master Patrol Tactics Officer. Antioch Police Chief Steve Huffman presented a certificate to Garcia at the Dec. 7 Village Board meeting. Deputy Chief John Laskowski, while he was interim chief, chose Garcia to participate in the Tactical Patrol Officer program in the summer of 2014. During the program, Garcia received intensive training in rapid deployment, multi-assault counter terrorism action capabilities, tactical rifle operators course and First Aid. He was also trained in patrol tactics including contact and cover, building searches, high-risk felony traffic stop techniques and tactics, arrest team tactics and K-9 search and arrest tactics. The completion of this training earned a designation of Tactical Patrol Officer. The training that put Garcia into the mas-
ter designation included instructor certification in rapid deployment, multi-assault counter terrorism capabilities, First Aid, tactical rifle instruction and patrol tactics instructor. During the presentation, Huffman stated, Garcia “will continue to provide these relevant and quality training programs to officers in our department. “We like to train as a group,” Huffman said, “because we respond as a group. Having Nick providing in-house training helps us accomplish that and keeps costs down. “If we had to outsource this type of training,” he continued, “it would be costly.” While Garcia will be training Antioch officers, Huffman expects that training to be expanded. “I know that there has been joint area training in the past and we expect that to continue in the future,” he said. “Whenever there is a major event, such as what happened in Fox Lake,” Huffman continued, “we are all involved through mutual aid.”

Historically, the commission recommends a chairman and the mayor appoints. It appeared, from the Committee of the Whole discussion, that method should continue. The Environmental Commission is advisory only and has done research regarding recycling and alternative energy sources. This group has also organized and executed the Community Garden and the Earth Day Fair.

Highway improvement project clears major hurdle The Illinois Toll Highway Authority Board on Dec. 17 unanimously approved a resolution authorizing an environmental impact statement for the highways 53/120 improvement project affecting Round Lake and Grayslake. The move follows four years of work by a broad group of government, business and environmental leaders in Lake County to advance the project, which had been stalled for decades. An environmental impact statement includes a detailed study of alignment alternatives, environmental impacts,
financial feasibility and a “no build” scenario. The process will also include a public information and engagement program with multiple meetings and opportunities for public input. The project will be conducted in partnership with the Illinois Tollway, the Illinois Department of Transportation, the Lake County Division of Transportation, and the Federal Highway Administration. “Over the last four years, a diverse group of leaders worked to develop an innovative vision for the Ill. Route 53/120 project that balances
a desire for traffic congestion relief opportunities with a need for enhanced environmental and community protections,” said Lake County Board Chairman Aaron Lawlor, who serves as co-chairman of the Ill. Route 53/120 Blue Ribbon Advisory Council. “I want to thank the Tollway Board for approving an EIS for the Ill. Route 53/120 project and their commitment to further evaluate this project.” In 2011, the Illinois Tollway reinitiated the project by convening the Blue Ribbon Advisory Council and charged the panel with de-
veloping a plan that built consensus among local and regional stakeholders. They recommended a parkway with specific design and performance standards that reduce congestion, preserve the environment, and enhance connectivity. A Finance Committee and Land Use Committee also developed feasible financing options and land use strategies. Additionally, the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning listed this project as a top priority in its regional master plan saying it would have the highest congestion
reduction benefits and the largest economic impacts. “We have moved this project further than ever before by building consensus among a broad group of leaders in support of a modern, innovative transportation system with strong standards that protect the environment. It is critical that the Tollway and IDOT use the … recommendations as the intellectual framework for the (environmental impact statement),” Lawlor added. “Today is a giant step forward in advancing traffic congestion mitigation and economic growth for Lake

County. The IL Route 53/120 project also presents an opportunity to think differently about how we address transportation needs in sensitive environmental areas,” Illinois Tollway Director and Lake County Board Member (Dist. 17) Nick Sauer said. “I am committed to ensuring the BRAC recommendations and performance standards are an integral part of the EIS.” Visit www.ILRoute53.org for more information on the IL Route 53/120 project, including previous studies, letters of support, and project-related videos.
Sheriff launches drunken driving crackdown
obstructing a peace officer (Class A misdemeanor), and unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia (Class A misdemeanor). Cochran was being held at the Lake County Jail on a $200,000 bond. His next court date is Jan. 6, at 10:30 a.m. in Courtroom C-120. This is the second time in six months the Lake County Gang Task Force executed a search warrant on a residence where Cochran was residing and selling narcotics.
If you’re celebrating the holidays with a drink, the Lake County Sheriff’s Office has a message for you – “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over.” The county department is joining others across the country in an annual holiday crackdown on drunken driving. The campaign runs through Jan. 3. “The safest way to get home is to drive sober or catch a ride with a sober, designated driver. If you plan on drinking at the holiday party or at a restaurant, plan ahead and hand the keys over to someone else – a sober friend, a taxi or public transportation,” Sheriff Mark Curran said. In addition, seat belt law violators will receive a ticket – no exceptions. That applies to applies to the back seat passengers, too. Illinois law mandates everyone has to buckle up, no matter where they’re sitting in a vehicle. Sheriff Curran emphasized, “Whatever you do, don’t drink and drive. And remember, a seat belt is your best defense in a crash, so Click It or Ticket.” “We can’t stand to see this tragic loss of life again and again,” added Undersheriff Ray Rose. “The hardest part of the job is making that house call and telling a family their loved one is gone because someone chose to drink and drive. We show zero tolerance for drunk drivers on the road.” The Sheriff’s Office offers these tips for safe driving: • Even one drink can impair judgment and increase the risk of getting arrested for driving drunk – or worse, the risk of having a crash. • If you will be drinking, plan ahead; designate a sober driver before the party begins. Don’t drive, call a taxi, phone a sober friend or family member, or use public transportation. This law enforcement crackdown is coordinated by the Illinois Department of Transportation as part of the statewide Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over and Click It or Ticket campaigns. In 2013, 10,076 people were killed in drunken driving crashes in the United States, almost a third of all traffic fatalities. Of the 10,076 people who were killed, 65 percent were the drunk drivers themselves.

Rabid bat found in McHenry County A rabid bat was found on Dec. 10 in a Crystal Lake residence, according to the McHenry County Department of Health. There was a confirmed human exposure so rabies treatment was begun. Homeowners who find bats in their homes should contain the bat in a room by closing the door or placing a blanket on it and immediately call Animal Control at (815) 459-6222. In order to test bats for rabies, it is important they be in good condition (i.e. head is intact) – either alive or recently deceased. Specimens in good condition that test negative for rabies eliminates the need for rabies treatment following
human exposure. Only in cases of confirmed exposure will bats be submitted for testing. The best way to avoid rabies is to avoid exposure. For questions about exposure or to determine the need for treatment, call MCDH’s Communicable Disease Program at 815-3344500. Rabies is a fatal disease caused by a virus that attacks the central nervous system and can only be confirmed in a laboratory. Keeping cats and dogs up to date with vaccinations will not only keep them from getting rabies but also provide a barrier of protection for you if your animal is bitten by a rabid animal. Most bats leave in
the fall or winter to hibernate so these are the best times to “bat-proof” your home. A fact sheet on bat exclusion can be viewed at www.mcdh.info. Residents are encouraged to take a “hands off” approach to wild animals to reduce their risk of exposure. Children should also be educated about the dangers. A bat that is active by day, found in a place where bats are not usually seen (such as in your home, in a swimming pool or on the lawn) or is unable to fly, is more likely than others to be rabid. To learn more about rabies prevention, visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) at www.cdc.gov/rabies/.

At least it hasn’t toppled over – yet. (My husband’s observation, not mine.) “It wasn’t meant to be straight,” he said. “It looks good with a little lean in it. Gives it character.” Our youngest son contemplated the tree, cocking his head to the side presumably to make it appear straight. After about 30 seconds of scrutiny he said, “It’s awfully small.” “That’s because it doesn’t have its lights yet,” my glass-half-full husband told him. “Lights make a tree look bigger. Besides, size doesn’t matter. It still

“You can pick it out and I’ll do the rest,” he said. “I’ll put it up and decorate it. You won’t have to do a thing.” Famous last words. We did find a tree. It wasn’t very tall or full but it had bark and branches. My husband propped it in its stand and tightened the bolts to stabilize the trunk. Our Charlie Brown sapling leaned to the left. We adjusted the bolts and straightened the sparse spruce. When my husband let go of the tree, it leaned to the right. We pulled and prodded and repeated the process. Still, our tree leans.

It’s the season of celebration. Happy holidays, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah or Festive Festivus – whatever your phrase of choice, it’s a lovely time to celebrate and believe in miracles. People all around are joyous and giddy with cheer. To further illustrate the magnificence of the holiday, ugly Christmas sweaters are back in style. Some of them even feature blinking lights. What’s not to love about an over-the-top time of year filled with electric sweaters, wrapped gifts, a tree in the living room, parties for hosting, candlelight, cookies, eggnog and fruitcake? It’s exuberant celebration for the taking and making. There’s only one problem. I wasn’t feeling it this year. I’ll be honest; it comes from the pressure of trying

The time is now to help
Grandma needs car to get child to cancer care It is with grateful hearts we announce that Fox Charities has provided The Time Is Now to Help with a generous $25,000 matching grant opportunity. This grant will be called the Fox Charities $25,000 Christmas Miracles matching grant. This is the 13th matching grant that Fox Charities is providing for The Time Is Now to Help. Fox Charities has been very charitable with their support of our good works. We are so thankful for their generous hearts and all of your generous donations that have made their past matching grants such a success. These funds come at a critical time for our organization. The requests always far exceed the donations, especially at this time of year. With these funds we will again be able to provide our life-changing assistance to those living in desperate poverty in our communities. God bless Fox Charities for this opportunity. It truly is a Christmas miracle to The Time Is Now to Help and all of those turning to us for assistance.
Dear readers, This past year there seems to be a huge increase in the number of requests from families struggling with cancer. The amount of children afflicted seems to have skyrocketed. The families and children we have provided poverty assistance to this year would astound you. Thanks to all of you, we have been able to remove the financial stress and physical pains of poverty for these families in their most desperate time of need. I called this grandmother to set up a time to visit. When I asked her when would be a good time, I heard a hesitation in her voice so I asked her if it would be convenient if I came to visit Dear W.C., immediately. After a moment I desperately need your her answer was, “Yes. Thank help with obtaining a vehicle. you, thank you.” I heard the My present car broke down desperation in her voice. on the way to Milwaukee I had a recently donated where my granddaughter vehicle that was in the shop goes for cancer treatments. for repairs but would make I am raising both my a very trusty vehicle for granddaughters since my those long trips to and from son died in an accident five Milwaukee.

She slurred her words cut back on my hours in order slightly when she spoke and to care for my granddaughter. I noticed her hands shook. I I was able to care for the watched as the younger sister three of us before by living held her trembling hand until very frugally. Now there is it passed. After speaking with
both girls for a few minutes the grandmother asked the younger sister if she would take her older sister to rest in her room and read to her. This would give us the privacy to talk freely without worrying about distressing the children. Once the children were in their shared bedroom the grandmother checked on them and came back to talk. We sat at the small table and I saw the worry and heartbreak on the grandmother’s face. I reached over and took her hand and she grasped mine tightly in return. After a moment she said, “I don’t know where to begin. I have never had to ask for help before but this is something I just can’t get over on my own. When I lost my son I knew the responsibility of those girls would be mine. I took on that responsibility knowing things would not be easy, but I never thought they would be this hard. I never thought there would be a chance I would have to watch my grandchild get so sick that there is a chance she might…” She could not finish the sentence that neither of us wanted to hear as she began to cry. She kept looking worriedly at the granddaughter’s bedroom door to make sure they could not hear her. We were both relieved to hear the younger granddaughter reading loudly to her ill sister. I said to the grandmother, “Don’t even think about that now. You are doing your best to help your granddaughter fight this horrible disease. Let’s stay positive and think about the possibility that she can beat this. Let’s think that there is a possibility that the car we are going to provide you with will be the vehicle your granddaughter needs to be healthy once more. Let’s pray for healing right now.” We both joined hands and asked God for the blessing of health, safe transportation and a miracle to occur. When we finished the grandmother commented on how much better the prayer made her feel. I knew our caring assistance would bring some of the healing this grandmother and grandchildren needed. The grandmother told me about the mother of her granddaughters. She had addiction problems and struggled with mental disabilities. She was not capable of being a good

parent to the girls. The grandmother told me how she would stop by every now and then but it just seemed to upset the girls when they saw her. It was hard for them to understand their mother’s sometimes odd behavior and personality ups and downs. The grandmother commented that ever since the older daughter’s cancer diagnosis the mother had not come by to visit. She added, “I think she is having one of her episodes. She probably is using drugs again. I knew it would be too much for her to handle in her psychological state.” I appreciated the grandmother’s honesty. Even though the grandmother was asking for a vehicle I still asked to go over her budget. I found a few additional areas they needed help in that would ease the stress they were enduring. We paid their utilities and lot rent a few months in advance to help them through the coming months. We made arrangements to get the car registered. We provided the grandmother with several gift cards so she would be able to purchase some much needed healthy foods and for clothing for the granddaughters. I also added some gas gift cards for those long drives to the hospital. She was again crying when I handed her these gift cards. When I was getting ready to leave the grandmother asked me to come say goodbye to the granddaughters. I followed her to peek in on the now quiet granddaughters. We both smiled when we saw both girls asleep on the bed hugging each other with a book nearly covering their faces. The grandmother’s face went from a smile to her eyes instantly filling with tears. I quickly grasped her hand again and said, “Remember our prayer. We have to believe in a miracle to give her a chance.” I hoped she would hold onto this hope and possibility of a miracle in the trying weeks to come. Six weeks later I called the grandmother to check in. She shared how the granddaughters now called the donated car the miracle car. She said it seemed to make the trips to and from the hospital less traumatizing when they were made in the miracle car. The car and the other assistance “We” provided truly removed their pains of poverty and

• Holiday
(Continued from page 6)
We all smelled the tree and had to agree it had a fine pine scent. My husband looped one string of lights around from top to bottom and even I had to admit our little tree was looking brighter. He got the box of ornaments from the basement and we put them on one by one. There was a baby girl ornament from 1991 commemorating our daughter’s first Christmas. Another of Mickey ears reminded us of a trip to Disney World. Snowmen with the message “I love the USA” were from Christmas 2001. We hung a tiny cable car from the year my husband and I traveled to San Francisco. We found a framed ornament of a Labrador retriever puppy and remembered our dear dog. This will be our first Christmas without her. There were countless ornaments handmade by the kids over the years – each one a true treasure. As we adorned the branches, I was glad my husband talked me into getting the tangle of greenery that is our tree this year. We don’t have time to do all the things we wish we could to get ready for the holiday. We don’t have the money to buy huge and tremendous jaw-dropping gifts. We might not get the gingerbread house made or picture perfect cards sent. And that’s OK, because we do have the things we really need. Right here. Hanging on the branches of our tiny tree.
