Above: Area residents pack the latest edition of the Antioch Traveling Closet at the Antioch Senior Center, 817 Holbek Dr., on Sunday, August 20. The event was the seventh in the series of Traveling Closets courtesy of the founder and organizer of the event, Lisa Fisher, and the 50 volunteers and donors who work with her to make the affair the growing success it has become. Right: Fox Lake resident “Wild Bill” Urban, left, is assisted by event volunteer Jeffrey Nielsen during the latest edition of the Antioch Traveling Closet. The Traveling Closet offers a wide selection of donated clothing, toiletries, and cleaning supplies to those in need, all free of charge. Once again, four hairstylists were on hand offering free haircuts to all wanting to look their back-to-school best. Sunday’s Traveling Closet drew almost 350 individuals, 100 more than the prior event held in April. Each child at the event received a package full of school supplies for the upcoming school year. The next Traveling Closet is scheduled for December though an exact date has not yet been selected. To volunteer, or to make a donation to the Antioch Traveling Closet, visit the ATC website at http://antiochtravelingcloset.org. The Antioch Traveling Closet is now a 501(c)(3) organization.
After three meetings, the Antioch Planning Commission gave a green light for an electronic message graphic (EMG) sign to Antioch Fine Wine and Liquors. The Antioch Village board approved the sign in a 4-2 decision at the Aug. 14 regular board meeting. This family owned business has been in Antioch for 51 years with the last 31 at its current location. Second generation owner Adam Kosh said the sign was needed to better advertise their specials considering competition from Walgreens, which is across the street and has an electronic message graphic board. Kosh, who met with the Antioch Planning and Zoning commission, reached a compromise after the third meeting. The sign can be 10-feet high instead of the mandated 8-feet, since the area where the sign will be placed is two feet lower than the street. The sign is an industry standard metallic product. If brick, as mandated by ordinance, were used, the sign would cost about a third more than the estimated $45,000 to $55,000. The sign would also be too wide to allow for any required landscaping shrubs. Kosh and sign maker Adam Bauman of Creative Edge explained that the planning and
zoning commission nixed faux brick, stating it looked cheap. When questioning by the board began, trustee Mary Dominiak asked if a hole needed to be dug to put the sign in. When the response was positive, she asked why not dig a bigger hole to meet ordinance requirements for landscaping. Kosh explained that if the hole were bigger, cars could not travel safely in the parking lot. She also didn’t like the fact that the sign was metal. Trustee Ed Macek stated that the sign ought to match the building. When the vote was taken, trustee Scott Pierce joined Dominak as a no, while Macek and trustees Jay Jozwiak, Ted Poulos and Jerry Johnson joined Macek with a positive.
Fees waived for St. Ignatius The board also unanimously said yes to waive a permit for the St. Ignatius God’s Will Resale Shop plumbing permit. Some time ago, the village began demanding that St. Ignatius put a bathroom in the resale shop, calling it a retail venture. The church faced off in court when God’s Will was recognized as a ministry. St. Ignatius did acquiesce to install a bathroom and raised the necessary funds to do so. The plan includes an addition to the shop, since donations are overflowing.
