Pancakes and Christmas wishes
Seven-month-old Quinn Miles enjoys a nibble of pancake from his mother Lauren’s fingers at the Breakfast with Santa event held at the Antioch Golf Club, 40150 N. Highway 59, on Dec 5. The family was one of many who attended one of the two breakfast sessions that were held. The event was co-sponsored by the golf club and the Antioch Parks and Recreation Department. Each child had a chance to meet with Santa Claus. A reprise of the event will be held Dec 12 at the same location with three separate breakfast times scheduled. For more information about the breakfast contact the Parks and Recreation office at (847) 395-2160.
Prior to 1939, the 88 acres that is now Lake Antioch was pastureland and slough. In 1939, Bill Brooks and some other area business leaders collaborated to develop the area into Lake Antioch. Lake Antioch is fed mainly by storm water run-off and the main inlet comes from property on Beach Grove Road. The Friends of Lake Antioch is a non-profit homeowners association that has cared for Lake Antioch since the late 1990’s. This man-made lake provides benefits to the surrounding area. According to Ken Adamski, previous president of the Friends of Lake Antioch and manager of the current project to stabilize the dam that runs near Harden Street, “Without the dam that created it, the storm water that flows through the area would take out Harden Street, Route 59 and the main lift station that serves 500 homes in Antioch.” In 2010, the Friends of Lake Antioch learned that animals burrowing into the

earthen dam in Lake Delton, Wis., ruined the dam. The group launched an investigation into the Lake Antioch earthen dam that is on the northwest side of Harden Street and discovered the same problem. In 2011, the Friends of Lake Antioch discovered damage to the outflow culvert that goes through the dam and completed the repair in 2012 with help of partial funding from the Lake County Storm Water Management Commission. In 2013, heavy April rains caused the lake to rise and the dam wads overrun by the rising lake and the water began to cut a path across the top of the dam at a low spot. Friends of Lake Antioch members responded with a sandbag repair, averting a possible breach. Adamski said, “This was the same rain event that caused the loss of Wolf Lake in the Bong Recreation area in Wisconsin. Their lake was comparable in size also with an earthen dam and was lost
