That’s why we too. Instead who work of us. And, make Antioch

What do we love the most about this community? The people we share it with! That’s why we support the families here, the local businesses, and the charitable organizations, too. Instead of just providing banking solutions, we also take pride in giving back to the people who work to make this area so great. Why? Because this isn’t just home to us; it’s home to all of us. And, as a true community bank, we know that when we all do our part, we can help make Antioch better for everyone.

Hettich, 12, Antioch, was awarded a certificate and check for $1,000 on October 1, at the Crystal City Marriott at Reagan National Airport, Washington, DC. The award and check were presented to Joseph by U.S. Coast Guard Captain Robert H. Carmack, U.S. Coast Guard Retired, the Reserve Organization of America (ROA) National President. The ROA conducted its 96th Annual National Convention from September 29 through October 2, celebrating 100 years, a century of service, to America for a strong national defense. The ROA supports all ranks of all reserve services. The ROA Family Readiness Committee (FRC) proposed a children’s writing contest for the convention. Contestants were asked to share a personal story as child of a member of the reserve components or a story from a ROA member who served our country. The winning entries were, “He Walked through the Door” by Isabella and Oliva Fishman and “My Story as a Military Child” by Joseph P. Hettich. Joseph read his paper at the ROA banquet to an audience of approximately 250 members, guests, families, dignitaries, military members, and Veterans to include several General Officers and Flag Officers. A highlight of his evening was to meet and sit at the head table with the oldest member of the ROA, a 102 old U.S. Army Major General (two stars). Joseph attends Saint Bede School in Ingleside, and is active in the school cooking club and track. He is a tenderfoot scout and scribe with Antioch Boy Scout Troop 92 and he is a Den Chief with Antioch Cub Scout Pack 111. Joseph is a Youth Ambassador and member of the Chain of Lakes Pheasants Forever and is also a member of the Ruse burglary prevention reminders Northern Illinois has seen an increase in ‘ruse burglaries’ over the last several weeks. A ruse burglary is a distraction technique used to lure homeowners outside of their home. After the homeowner is outside the home and distracted by one individual, other individuals enter the home, typically targeting items to steal such as cash, jewelry, and other valuables. Suspects will use many excuses to lure homeowners outside the residence including claims of being subcontracted by local government, ploys of a broken pipe, schemes for landscaping services such as tree trimming, fence line questions, and so forth. In addition to luring homeowners outside the home, some offenders will divert homeowners’ attention inside their home. There are also instances when offenders will remain inside with homeowners, distracting them inside their residence, while other individuals will enter the home unbeknownst to homeowners. Senior citizens are frequently the intended target of these crimes. Below are a few additional reminders: • Never allow anyone inside your home without a prescheduled appointment If an individual claims affiliation with your local government, ask the person to produce identification and call the government office to verify • Do not exit your home with an unscheduled visitor, leaving your home and valuables unattended Keep an extra watch on elderly neighbors and family members reminding them of these types of criminal behaviors Educate your relatives and neighbors (especially the elderly), informing them ruse burglaries are on the increase Immediately report any suspicious activity by calling 911 Local scout wins military family writing contest Chain of Lakes Ducks Unlimited.

Shopping, dining, and entertainment … create your own day of pleasure in historic Antioch, Illinois.

Chain O’ Lakes

Something is always happening on the Chain! Boating, skiing, fishing, swimming, hunting, racing, and snowmobiling can all be enjoyed on the 11 chained-together lakes.

Visit the many unique resorts, restaurants and marinas located on the Chain O’Lakes.

For more information, contact the Fox Waterway Agency, 45 S. Pistakee Lake Road, Fox Lake, IL 60020. Or call the agency at (847) 587-8540.

Lakes Region Historical Society Museum

The Museum is located inside Antioch’s

Second School, located at 817 Main Street. This building was in continuous use as a grade school from 1892 to 1971. It also included the first two years of high school education.

The renovation and museum construction were completed with contributions and volunteer labor. The Museum was dedicated and officially opened on July 18, 1987. They welcome donations of artifacts from Antioch and

the Chain O’Lakes Region to add to their collection.

Private Tours are available for clubs and small groups by appointment. Admission is free, donations are gratefully accepted.

The Chain O’Lakes BRINGS WATER FUN TO ALL AGES

If fishing, make your trip to the Fox Chain O’Lakes a fun one by understanding the sport of fishing and the types of bait and tackle to use, when, where and how.

The 7,200 acre Fox Chain O’Lakes are the largest, single, inland, water-oriented, recreational asset in Northeastern Illinois. Located about 40 miles northwest of Chicago on Illinois Routes 173 and 12, near the towns of Antioch and Fox Lake.

Easy access to the minor cities of Chicago and Milwaukee has added to the importance of the Chain. In addition to its hotels, motels and resorts with cottages in the immediate marina area, there are also many marinas, restaurants, pubs, bait and

tackle stores and recreational lakefronts.

Safety should be a number one concern when on the Chain (or any other body of water). Make sure all your equipment is in working order. Do not overload your boat or run it at high speeds in unfamiliar areas. Be courteous to everyone around you and give assistance where needed.

According to a survey taken by the U.S. Coast Guard, weekend usage on the Chain hits about 60,000 people on average and on holidays that figure rises to 100,000 people.

The future of the Chain is being monitored by the Illinois Department of Conservation. They have recently expanded both the walleye and muskellunge populations throughout the Chain.

The Fox Chain provides the best place to go fishing in Northern Illinois, with more than 40 species of fish in sizes and numbers desirable and sought-after by anglers.

Since the Chain O’Lakes is classified as a public navigable waterway and is managed under the authority of the Department of Transportation, Division of Waterways, The Fox Waterway Agency, Department of Conservation and Division of Fisheries, all state boating, hunting and fishing regulations are applicable and enforced.

For information on the Chain O’Lakes, call the Fox Waterway Agency at 847-5878540 or visit FoxWaterway.com.
