Antioch Senior Center a longtime village gem Volunteers needed
By Gail Peckler-Dziki CORRESPONDENT
Nestled in the middle of the Village of Antioch, settled behind the Police Department and Station 1, close to the Methodist and Catholic churches and within walking distance to four senior apartments, grocery stores and the downtown, lies the Antioch Senior Center. The building was built more than 42 years ago in a partnership between the Village of Antioch and the State of Illinois Area Agency on Aging. The building’s use, however, is not limited to seniors. Other non-profit community groups, which serves all ages, hold events in the evenings and weekends for free. The Center offers many benefits for seniors, including transportation services, public benefits counseling, employment assistance, volunteer and civic engagement opportunities and multi-generational programs. It bustles with daily activity Monday through Friday. On the last Monday in February, more than 50 people filled the activity room to singalong with Cecelia Hojen on the organ and Dorothy Longly on the piano. Paul Hoard still serves as Senior Center director. On Mondays and Wednesdays, seniors are treated to hot lunch, which is prepared by Piggly Wiggly staff across the street and senior center volunteers pick up the food. On Wednesdays, hot lunch is served after bingo. Tuesdays and Fridays soup and sandwiches are served after various card GAIL PECKLER-DZIKI Hi-Liter games.

Clerk’s office offers ways to avoid lines on Election Day
For voters who might not have time to cast their ballots on Election Day, Lake County Clerk Carla N. Wyckoff said in a statement there are other options to consider, according to a news release. Election Day is March 20 with polling sites open from 6 a.m. until 7 p.m. The options, Wyckoff said, include early and absentee voting. For absentee voting, which is done by mail, voters need to complete a ballot request form for each election and can visit the Lake County Clerk website at www.LakeCountyClerk. info, where they can complete an E-request form. Otherwise, according to the release, voters can download and print the form, fill it out and send the complete form to the County Clerk. Voters can also request a ballot request by email to VotingByMail@lakecountyil.gov or call 847-377-2406. “The official ballot is not permitted to be sent electronically, but is delivered via U.S. Postal Service,” the release states. “The Clerk’s office must receive all requests by noon on Thursday, March 15.” Once voters receive their ballot by mail, completed bal-
lots must be postmarked no later than midnight on Election Day, the release states. Voters can check the status of their ballot online by accessing the clerk’s website, where there is a “Track My Order” feature. Additionally, early voting continues through Saturday, March 17 at all 15 early voting sites, four of which will be open on Sunday and Monday, March 18 and 19. “Voters can use any conveniently located early voting site regardless of where they live in Lake County,” the release states. “Choose a site that’s close to home, work, or along the way.” On Election Day, however, voters must cast their ballots at their assigned neighborhood polling location. For those Lake County residents who still need to register or update a current record, Grace Registration is available at any early and at voter’s assigned Election Day voting site. Applicants are required to meet all age, citizenship, and residency requirements; present valid identification; and vote at the time of registration. For more information on Lake County Clerk services call 847-377-2400.
