FISHING

No matter whether you bought new or preowned, your first months with your boat are sure to be filled with plenty of excitement.

There are always more places to explore and activities to enjoy with a boat. No matter your favorite activity, any of these activities are sure to keep you enthusiastic about your next time on the water.

WATERSPORTS

Every lake, river or waterway has its unofficial “party cove,” a gathering spot where fellow boaters anchor, nose into the sandbar, or “raft up” to socialize and share in the pleasure of boating. Find one that fits your style and join in on the fun.

Many boats are designed to enhance the experience, with aft seating areas, extended swim platforms, and boarding ladders to encourage passengers to ease in and out of the water. You may even find a transom remote to control the stereo. Another benefit of coving? It allows you to enjoy the boating lifestyle, while not using fuel.

It’s fun to be in the boat, but it’s also fun to be behind it as well, skimming along the water on the latest towable. Inflatables are the easy choice, a one-size-fits-most option that doesn’t require much athletic skill or balance. Just hang on for the ride while a responsible driver swings you in and out of the wake.

For those looking for a greater challenge, skiing and wakeboarding are always popular, enabling riders to zip in and out of the wakes, or even soar high above them. The latest craze, wakesurfing,

You don’t need a dedicated fish boat to bait a hook and throw a line over the side.

Fishing can be done from any boat, and is a great way to bond with kids, spend time with your friends, or just get away for a few moments of solitude.

The equipment required is minimal – rod, bait or lures, and somewhere to store your catch. Just don’t forget your fishing license, typically available online for a nominal fee.

Check with your state’s fish and wildlife agency or Department of Natural Resources to get started. Good news? In most states, no license is required under 16 years of age, meaning kids are free.

JOIN AN EXCURSION Dealers are aware many customers are looking for new experiences, and as such many plan getaways to locations outside their customer’s normal boundaries. These trips aren’t just for those with bigger boats.

Trailer boat excursions put boaters both on the road and on the water; overnight or multi-day trips encourage those with overnight accommodations to actually spend the night aboard. Boat camping is also a popular activity. Sleep aboard under the stars, or pitch a tent on a picturesque beach. Just don’t forget to pack the cooler!

To reduce the risk of electric shock drowning, never swim near a marina, dock, boatyard or a running watercraft.

Make water safety a priority

FILE PHOTO Catch All the Action

Tips to reduce fatalities caused by electric shock drowning ith summer in full swing, the National Fire Protection Association and Electrical Safety Foundation International are joining forces to remind people about the potential electrical hazards in swimming pools, hot tubs and spas, on board boats and in the waters surrounding boats, marinas and launch ramps.

Electric shock drowning can occur when faulty wiring sends an electrical current into the water, which passes through the body and causes paralysis, and ultimately results in drowning.

“Most consumers, including boat and pool owners and swimmers, are not aware of the risks of electric shock drowning,”

Summer 2018

said Lorraine Carli, NFPA’s vice president of Outreach and Advocacy. “By sharing our water safety resources, NFPA and ESFI hope to educate people so that they can safely enjoy summer water activities.”

ESFI and NFPA have pool and marina safety resources, including tip sheets and infographics, brochures, reference guides and checklists that cover safety devices, common ESD causes and prevention methods, response protocol, and marina electrical safety considerations. ESFI and NFPA also recommend the following tips for swimmers, pool and boat owners:

TIPS FOR SWIMMERS • Never swim near a marina, dock or boatyard, or near a boat while it’s running.

• While in a pool, hot tub or spa,

Catch all the

ACTION

look out for underwater lights that are not working properly, flicker or work intermittently.

• If you feel a tingling sensation while in a pool, immediately stop swimming in your current direction. Try and swim in a direction where you had not felt the tingling.

Exit the water as quickly as possible; avoid using metal ladders or rails. Touching metal may increase the risk of shock.

TIPS FOR POOL OWNERS • If you are putting in a new pool, hot tub or spa, be sure the wiring is performed by an electrician experienced in the special safety requirements for these types of installations.

• Have a qualified electrician periodically inspect and – where necessary – replace or upgrade the electrical devices or equipment that keep your pool, spa or hot tub electrically safe. Have the electrician show you how to turn off all power in case of an emergency.

• Make sure any overhead lines maintain the proper distance over a pool and other structures, such as a diving board. If you have any doubts, contact a qualified electrician or your local utility company to make sure power lines are a safe distance away.

TIPS FOR BOAT OWNERS • Avoid entering the water when launching or loading a boat.

Docks or boats can leak electricity into the water causing water electrification.

• Each year, and after a major storm, have the boat’s electrical system inspected and upgraded by a qualified marine electrician to be sure it meets the required codes of your area, including the American Boat and Yacht Council. Check with the marina owner who can also tell you if the marina’s electrical system has recently been inspected to meet the required codes of your area, including the National Electrical Code.

• Have ground fault circuit interrupters installed on the boat; use only portable GFCIs or shore power cords (including “Y” adapters) that are “UL-Marine Listed” when using electricity near water. Test GFCIs monthly.

“Many swimmers, boat and marina operators unknowingly place themselves in danger by swimming near electric-powered boats and docks,” said Brett Brenner, ESFI president. “As incidents of electric shock drowning continue to occur every year, we are collaborating with NFPA to emphasize the importance of regular electrical inspections of pools, boats, and docks performed by qualified electricians to help prevent these tragedies while out on the water.”

ESFI has additional spa tips and resources for marina operators on raising awareness of electric shock drowning, as well as steps for keeping marinas and boats safer for patrons.

Must-haves for fun, safe hiking trips

Hiking is an enjoyable activity that continues to attract millions of people. But hikers must take steps to ensure their hiking trips are safe.

STOCK PHOTO Catch All the Action

Few outdoor activities are more widely enjoyed than hiking. According to Statista, a statistics portal that gathers studies and statistics from more than 18,000 sources, more than 37 million people in the United States went hiking in 2015. That marks an increase of nearly eight million from 2006.

Hiking is a great activity that makes for great exercise and a wonderful way for people of all ages to spend time enjoying the great outdoors. Veteran hiking enthusiasts recognize that hiking, while a fun activity, can quickly become dangerous if they don’t exercise caution and prepare for their hikes. Novice hikers may want to focus on a handful of areas before going on their first hikes.

ATTIRE Appropriate attire and footwear can make hikes safer and more enjoyable. The American Hiking Society notes that hikers going on short hikes that do not involve heavy packs or technical terrain can wear trail shoes, while hikers should wear hiking books when carrying heavy loads or Summer 2018

traversing more technical terrain.

Boots offer more support than hiking shoes, making them more suitable than hiking shoes on difficult terrain.

In addition to wearing footwear appropriate to the terrain they will be traversing, hikers must pack rain gear and extra clothing. The AHS recommends that hikers dress in layers so they can adjust to changes in the weather and their activity levels. Avoid cotton, which keeps moisture close to the skin, and bring a hat to protect against unforeseen rainstorms and insects.

TECHNOLOGY Men and women may be accustomed to pulling out their smartphones or tablets and employing the GPS services on such devices when they need directions. But it’s important that hikers recognize networks may not be accessible in wooded or remote areas. As a result, hikers should not think they can rely exclusively on technology to help them when they get lost. Hikers should carry a map and compass during the hike, making sure they bring an updated map of the trails they will be hiking.

Catch all the

ACTION

FOOD AND DRINK Extra food and drink can help hikers whose hikes end up taking longer than they anticipated. Choosing snacks such as protein bars that can fill a person up without making him or her feel sluggish is a good idea. In addition, hikers should pack enough water to keep them hydrated during the hike and longer in cases a person gets lost or wants to stop and enjoy a nice view along the way. The AHS notes that drinking too little water during a hike can make one susceptible to hypothermia and/or altitude sickness.

TOOLS Hikers should purchase a prepackaged first-aid kit for hikers, which the AHS notes can be found at any outfitter. In addition, a knife or multipurpose tool can help a person perform repairs on broken or malfunctioning gear. If need be, hikers should bring a backup pair of eyeglasses or, if contact lenses are worn, a lens kit and eyeglasses just in case.

THE

Bald Eagle STARTING TO prosper

Visitors to William Stratton Dam begin to gather on a cold Saturday morning hoping to see some Bald Eagles. While once endangered, the Bald Eagle population is now flourishing in the area.

PHOTOS BY SANDRA LANDEN MACHAJ Catch All the Action

Area group watches for bird species The second Continental

By Sandra Congress chose the Landen Machaj Bald Eagle to be on the CORRESPONDENT emblem of the United States on June 20, 1782, and since then, the Bald Eagle has been a prominent symbol for American citizens.

The eagle symbol has appeared on both the Presidential Seal and the Great Seal of the United States.

The eagle was chosen to appear on the National Emblem because of its unique qualities including great strength, majestic looks, and its propensity to live a long life.

Originally, the eagle was found flourishing in the Midwest, where they have chosen to live along rivers. They are opportunist feeders with a diet consisting mostly of fish.

Summer 2018

Since they prefer fish, eagles are often seen around dams, or where the water body is shallow, which allows them to swoop down and catch the fish with their claws.

When they swoop down, according to National Geographic, they reach speeds of up to 100 mph to attack.

While fish is their favorite food, they will also eat small mammals, waterfowl, and dead animals. Small prey are swallowed whole, while with larger food they tear small pieces off larger prey with their beaks.

Eagles build large nests near the top of the highest trees to protect their young eaglets from being attacked by other predators. The nests are about 4-feet wide and 3-feet or more deep and weigh hundreds of pounds.

Catch all the

ACTION

Eagles, which are believed to mate for life, lays one to four eggs between February and March. The eggs are incubated for 35 days before hatching, and in turn, the eaglets leave the nest in 12 weeks. Eagles have a life span of 20 to 30 years.

While known as the bald eagle, they actually have white-headed fur. Mature birds are brown with white feathers and their heads and tails.

Bird watchers enjoy searching for bald eagles, especially at this time of year, when they are seen mostly around the dams.

They weigh between 8 to 14 pounds with a wingspan of up to 6-feet long.

Area group explores

Annually, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Friends of Hackmatack Wildlife Refuge, Illinois Department of Natural Resources, the McHenry Audubon Society and the McHenry Conservation District sponsor a morning of eagle watching at various spots.

On a recent Saturday morning, volunteers from these agencies could be found at stations along the Fox River and at a beach in Fontana.

“The Illinois sites were the McHenry Dam, the Algonquin Dam, and in Carpentersville,” said David Miller, a volunteer at the McHenry County Conservation Center and with the Friends of Hackmatack.

The volunteers stationed at each site are equipped a telescope and some binoculars for the spectators to observe not only the eagles but also other birds in the area.

“Here at the McHenry Dam only one eagle made an appearance about 8:15 a.m. before most of the visitors who came to observe arrived. It flew into the McHenry dam area along the Fox and then headed down toward Algonquin,” said Miller.

The eagles head south from upper Wisconsin as the rivers freeze up for the winter.

According to Miller, they head south following the frozen waterways until they come to a dam.

“The water around the dam is open water and the fish are closer to the surface, easier to pick them out,” he said.

They continue traveling south until the weather begins to warm and the ice melts, then they make their way north again and disperse throughout the area, Miller added.

Miller said larger eagle sightings have occurred further south, including 20 near Starved Rock, and 125-150 near the armory in Rock Island.

While eagles have started to flourish, it was not the case in the late 20th century, when the birds were on the brink of extinction.

The population decline is attributed to hunting, and persistent pesticides, like DDT. Since then, DDT usage was banned, along with shooting and hunting of the birds.

With new restrictions, the bald eagle started increasing around the 1970s.

In 1995, officials removed the eagle from the endangered, and place the bird on the threatened list.

About 12 years later, the population showed improvement, and was taken off the threatened species list.

3 STEPS TO BUYING A BETTER

If the spring is golf season to you, then this is the best time of the year. A full season of golf awaits, and you can’t wait to get out and play.

Making this your best season yet means starting the year off on the right foot and improving round after round. But to do that, you need more than just practice and coaching. You need the right gear.

Research done by Golf Magazine and overseen by premium fitter Club Champion showed that golfers who used custom-fit clubs gained 22 yards off the tee, 15 yards with their irons and lowered their scores by an average of 3 strokes per round.

To lower your scores, here are three tips in looking for the perfect custom-fit clubs.

FIND THE IDEAL SHAFT The choices in shafts extend far beyond steel and graphite. It’s a matter of flex and it can mean something different for every manufacturer. Flex is significantly impacted by torque, one of the most misunderstood shaft specifications. Higher torque shafts are better for smoother, slower Summer 2018

swingers. Lower torque is better for players that swing aggressively.

Club Champion, for example, starts all fittings by looking at the shaft to identify not just the proper shaft flex but also the proper weight. To do this, they use a unique coupling system that allows you to hit any of 35,000 head and shaft combinations. The result is a combination that addresses your unique problems and fixes them.

MATCH THE CORRECT CLUBHEAD There are many clubhead options. Each brand or model has its own distinctive characteristics that affect launch angle, spin rate and ball speed.

To buy a driver that has the right launch, spin and forgiveness for your swing, be sure to use a launch monitor and look for the highest smash factor, ball speed and spin that generates the greatest distance.

It’s also important to ensure that the clubhead you select is the perfect match for your ideal shaft.

“It never ceases to amaze me that golfers buy clubs off the shelf and assume they’re right for them.

Whether you’re a great golfer or a casual one, getting a custom club fitting is one of the quickest ways to improve your game. Lessons are critical but if you’re fighting your equipment, you can only progress so far,” Professional golf instructor David Leadbetter said.

“With literally thousands of options on the market, it’s nearly impossible for a golfer to find equipment that performs best for them without professional help. Find a skilled fitter with a launch monitor to show you how to maximize your swing to its fullest potential,” Club Champion cofounder Nick Sherburne said.

Golf is played all over the globe. Golf is one of the world’s oldest sports, boasting a rich history. Golf is a sport of skill that can involve not only athletic prowess, but also brainpower.

Here are some interesting facts about the game: • To this date, golf is only one of two games to be played on the moon. The other is a javelin throw; • Long before the advent of tees, golfers played off of hand-built sand piles; • In 1889, Ab Smith inadvertently coined the phrase “birdie,” when he hit a shot he defined as a “bird of a shot;” • Making a hole-in-one during a round of golf is quite a challenge. However, the odds of making two are incredibly low, at one in 64 million; • Only around 20 percent of golfers have a handicap below 18. The U.S. Golf Teachers Federation defines handicap as “a measure of a player’s current ability over an entire round of golf, signified by a number. The lower the number, the better the golfer is;” • The word “caddy” comes from “cadet,” the French word for “student;” and • A regulation golf ball contains 336 dimples.

Golf terms are as varied as the game itself. Knowing commonly used words and phrases makes for a more intimate understanding of the sport.

These golf terms are par for the course

Golf is a game of sport and skill that can be played at any age. Millions of people in North America participate in golf as a recreational endeavor or a professional pursuit. As of the spring 2016, 25.13 million people in the United States played golf over the previous 12 months, according to Statistica.

People may immediately think Canada’s sports-based loyalty favors hockey.

However, on the recreational side, golf is king in the country. Canada has the fourth most golf courses of any country in the world, says the National Golf Foundation.

Plus, one out of every 10 Canadians play golf – a participation rate that is more than double that of the United States.

STORIED GOLF HISTORY Although golf can be traced back to the Netherlands during the Middle Ages, many people concur that the modern game of golf – played over 18 holes – is a Scottish invention.

The popularity of the sport began to Summer 2018

Diners are often delighted at the caliber of food and service at independently owned eateries.

Local dining spots foster community Dining out is a great way to celebrate life’s milestones or simply reconnect with friends and loved ones. Research firm NPD Group found that, by the end of 2015, restaurant visits by consumers increased by 700 million compared to just five years prior.

While chain restaurants invest heavily in advertising, independently owned restaurants do not have those same resources. Multi-unit chains also have more pull with suppliers and might be able to negotiate better deals, or can spread operational costs across various locations.

Too often diners are not aware of the Summer 2018

vast array of tasty, well-priced and artisanal foods awaiting them just down the street.

But dining out at local eateries can be beneficial in various ways.

HIGH-QUALITY FOOD Many local establishments have complete control over their suppliers and menus. As a result, they can be picky with regard to the vendors they use and the produce, meats, dairy, and other ingredients that they select. Many small, independently owned restaurants team up with local organic farmers and distributors to supply a farm-to-table experience that many diners now enjoy.

FREEDOM OF EXPERIMENTATION Although chain restaurants may have to meet approval from administrative boards and marketing departments before they can introduce new fare, independently owned restaurants can let their diners decide which foods remain on the menu and even adapt to community trends.

Local restaurants may take pride in serving cultural or regional foods.

ABILITY TO CUSTOMIZE Independently owned restaurants may Catch all the

ACTION

be more amenable to adapting recipes or making substitutions to meet diners’ requests. Skilled local chefs can think on the fly and modify recipes, which may not always be possible in chain establishments.

CROWD CONTROL Local restaurants tend to be smaller and more intimate than many chain restaurants. This can translate into a calm dining experience. When crowds are small, the noise level inside the restaurant may be muted and service may be fast because there aren’t as many tables to serve. Furthermore, local establishments, although concerned about making a profit, may be less worried about table turnover rate, preferring to let diners linger if it means repeat business.

FAMILIAR FACES Some diners enjoy being a “regular” at their favorite local restaurants. Local dining spots also become gathering locations for residents in the know, instead of passing-through tourists or commuters.

Much can be said about the advantages of patronizing local eateries. Men and women who want unique dining experiences can give local, independently owned establishments a try.

What constitutes “ethnic” food differs from person to person.

Someone of Italian descent may dine regularly on garlic-infused pasta dishes, while a person from another area of the world may find such foods exotic.

In the cultural melting pot of North America, various cuisines representing countries that span the globe are within arm’s length for many people. According to Technomic, a Chicago-based research firm, 77 percent of Americans enjoy ethnic foods while dining out once a month. Around 38 percent order ethnic food weekly. In addition, many more people prepare ethnic cuisine at home.

A growing interest in ethnic foods is fueled by young people.

Technomic notes that millennials are more apt to want to try various cuisines and then incorporate them into their regular dining experiences. The National Restaurant Association found that 60 percent of people are likely to “tie their favorite ethnic food to their family history.” Interest in ethnic foods tends to be highest in urban areas where restaurants and ingredients may be more readily available.

When it comes to the top ethnic cuisines enjoyed throughout the states or provinces and territories, Chinese, Mexican and Italian rally for the top spots on diners’ plates. While the NRA has Italian cuisine as earning top-billing, Technomic’s list says that Chinese food, at 76 percent, followed by Mexican food (74 percent) and Italian (71 percent) comprise the biggest ethnic draws. Japanese or sushi comes in a distant fourth at 32 percent in the United States. (METRO CREATIVE)

Bowling

Bowling is a fun, affordable activity that people of all skill levels can enjoy. If you have enough friends interested in making a night of bowling, reserve a lane or lanes in advance so you won’t have to wait. And if everyone has a good time, look into creating a team and joining a league. Many bowling alleys host league nights that can also serve as great opportunities to meet people.

a Victorian style bed and breakfast,” she said. “We looked in Galena, but that was too far away. We also looked at a property in Richmond, but it was too expensive.”

Sheri and Kyle enjoyed living in the Brogan House, but made no move toward the bed and breakfast dream.

Life just happened. At one point, they cared for their daughter Jessica when she recuperated twice from cancer.

When Kyle passed in 2014, Sheri felt at a loss and lost.

“I talked to my counselor and told her that I felt something was left undone.

Something needed to be finished,” Sheri recalled.

Her counselor asked her about any dreams Sheri and her husband had talked about.

“I remembered the bed and breakfast idea,” she said. “So I got to work.”

She painted walls, had tin ceilings installed and highlighted all the authentic Victorian features.

The dining room walls are covered with old photos of both original Brogan family and Sheri’s family. Some of the photos of Sheri’s family are more recent.

The downstairs sitting room and bedrooms upstairs are a mix of antique and some reproduction furniture.

Authentic features like original pine floors have been retained.

There are four bedrooms upstairs. The Harbor Suite features a king bed, an en suite bathroom with a claw foot tub and fireplace.

One morning, Caramel French toast bake, chocolate chip muffins, sausage, yogurt with granola and strawberries may be on the menu.

The next morning it might be spinach Gruyere quiche, crispy bacon, glazed apple oat bread and smoothies.

Refreshments are served in the afternoon, organic hand and body soaps are offered in the rooms and bedding and bath towels are laundered in pure, natural detergent.

For couples on a getaway, when the wives want to walk down Main Street and look in the shops, there is a billiard table and large screen TV in the common room for husbands to pass the time and watch sporting events.

During the summer, guests can enjoy the backyard with comfortable seating on the deck, the pond and fragrant organic garden. The threeseason room on the front of the house has comfortable seating for quiet conversations and a sheltered place to watch parades.

The location is within walking distance to five antique shops, downtown restaurants, shopping and theaters.

Bringing history to life Lakes Region Museum offers a glimpse into the past Looking up Main

By Sandra Street in downtown Landen Machaj Antioch, it is hard to CORRESPONDENT miss the two-story yellow brick building that has stood at 817 Main St., which was built in 1892 to replace the original school when the community’s students needed more room.

The building on Main Street held four classrooms, two on each floor that served the students of the community. The school offered classes for eight years of grade school and four years of high school. In 1900 changes were made to bring the school into the 20th century and because of increasing enrollment, an addition was built and indoor plumbing added.

By 1914 the number of children in the schools had increased to the point

that a separate high school building was deemed necessary. The new building was completed by 1915.

Classes were held in the 1892 building through 1928 when all classes with the exception of band were moved to a newly constructed school building, built just adjacent to the 1892 building. But by 1971 the older building was no longer used by the school district for classes and was boarded up, the interior painted green and it became a storage building.

Around the same time, the Lakes Region Historical Society was formed. The society held its first meeting at the Antioch Township Library on Aug. 16, 1973. Early members of the historical society were concerned that the history of the Antioch and Chain of Lakes region was being lost.

Families were moving, older residents were passing away, or they just cleaned out memorabilia that they had accumulated over the years.

Members realized that the time was now if they were going to preserve these items for the future and they began to collect artifacts relating to the history of the area. They visited garage and estate sales and spoke to friends and neighbors of their interest in obtaining and preserving historical items of the area. Soon they

had collected large amounts of historical papers, photographs and signage from old businesses.

As individual homes became filled with the collected memorabilia, it was apparent a permanent home was needed to preserve and display the collection.

The 1892 school house/storage building was immediately thought of as the perfect home for a museum. Negotiations with its owner, Antioch School District 34, were successful and an arrangement was made that would allow the historical society to rent the building at a nominal fee.

That was the easy part.

The difficult part began as historical society volunteers began the task of turning the building that had been used as a storage facility into an attractive museum. Many volunteer hours and back-breaking work were required to remove the ugly green paint and to repair, and reconstruct, the building room by room.

Museum Director Ainsley Wonderling said it was not an easy job; all the walls were lathe and plaster and many had to be replaced with wallboard. The group worked on the renovation one room at a time and the museum slowly came together and opened on a small scale in 1981. On the Fourth of July they served punch and

cookies to visitors during the parade.

Today the museum is a three-story display offering visitors a look into the past.

Visitors start on the lower level and enjoy a walk down the Old Town Antioch display as they wander past the businesses that made their home in the downtown section of Antioch. Businesses such as Naber’s Harness Shop where residents would stop to purchase new harnesses for their horses and perhaps have old ones repaired.

The old town display also includes a newspaper office. There was a time when the Antioch News was the newspaper that residents read to keep up with local news, especially the social activities of the area.

Visitors can see the old printing press and how much it differs from the highpowered, digital presses of today.

Among the traditions that have changed over the years is the visit to the local barbershop. Here in Antioch Radke’s Barber Shop was the place to go and visitors can see what it was like. Radke’s remained in business in the community for 95 years through three generations. While today most men shave themselves at home, in days gone by, it was common practice for a man especially of high stature to go

The museum has collection of postcards that were donated by one of the founding members of the Lakes Region Historical Society, Art Doty. It’s a great chance for a nostalgic look into the Chain O’Lakes area.

Around the rooms are a display of business signs, photographs, advertising posters and memorabilia that will bring back memories of Antioch of the past for older visitors and a look into the past for those who did not live through those days.

The third floor is a look into the time when the school building was constructed with two main displays that look into life around 1900. The first room is the Victorian era sitting room decorated for the Christmas season. Examples of clothing of the day are present on the family gathered in the room.

The second room on this floor is a step back into time when this entire building was a school. The classroom on display is typical of the time and there is still the chance to view the final actual band schedule that was posted on the wall back when the band still held their rehearsals

here.

To support and maintain a museum of this size is dependent on donations. The museum was aided by a special bequest

by Antioch resident Dolly Spierling.

The bequest made it possible to add air conditioning to the School House Museum.

The bequest also allowed the society to purchase three other historic buildings in downtown Antioch.

These three buildings include the oldest documented building in Antioch, the 1863 Disciples of Christ Church located at 877 Main St., the rectory and the Lasco property to the north of the church.

The church, now known as the Meeting House, also has a large display of historical items. When first entering the building it appears to be a worship space as two sections of pews line the room. The pews, which came with the church at its purchase, can be moved to allow use of the space for activities, but there is no altar.

A flag from the Spanish American War, is displayed along the front where an altar would be if it were still a church with a

number of smaller flags hanging along the sides donated by Earl and Barbara Beese.

“Earl also built the replica of the 1940s Boat and Bait Shop which is on display here in the Meeting House,” Wonderling said.

Attached to the back of the Meeting House is a building that was brought in by wagon from Lake Forest that was originally a World War I barracks. The room now holds the military displays from each of the wars from the Civil War through Operation Enduring Freedom. The display includes medals, uniforms, and other historically important items from the wars.

Research opportunities

Looking to research local or family history? The Lasco building is stacked with research materials from birth to death records, high school yearbooks, photographs, and old telephone books are also available to help the search.

It takes more than one visit to enjoy the entire collection of the museum. The museum is open to individuals or groups on Saturdays from March to December from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Private tours are given to groups such as clubs, schools, and others interested in the history of the area but must be arranged ahead of time.

The museum is staffed by volunteers; so it is always a good idea to call ahead to 847-395-4912 to confirm hours and to check for any additional hours. There is no charge for admission but donations are gratefully accepted.

The Meeting House is open by appointment or when there are special displays or programs and for the meetings of the historical society.

The Lakes Region Historic Society meets at the Meeting House. All are welcome to attend meetings. Call the museum for upcoming meeting dates and other events at the museum.

Don’t forget to bring history home to learn more about Antioch’s past. A copy of the new historical book about the history of Antioch, Celebrating Antioch, Past & Present, a work of the Lakes Region Historic Society in honor of Antioch’s 125th year can be purchased at the museum.

magical skills as a preparation for this day of wizardry and magic?

The classes will be held from 10 a.m. to noon and will offer magical classes, including Herbology, Potions, Defense against the Dark Arts and a variety of other classes to be revealed on that date to the registered school attendees.

The Hogwarts School is open to children age 7 to 12. Space is limited to 120 participants and online registration is required at the Antioch Chamber of Commerce website, www.antiochchamber. org.

Registration is $25 and more information can be found on the chamber’s website or the Wizards Weekend Facebook page.

Once at school, the children will be sorted into one of the four houses for their classes. They are encouraged to dress in the appropriate attire for their house of choice and perhaps the sorters will assign them to that house but no promises can be made – it is up to the magical sorters.

All students who participate will receive a keepsake memento as a reminder of their magical classes at the Hogwarts School. And again don’t forget that magical smart wand to create your own memorabilia by taking photographs of this magical experience.

SHOP THE SUMMER ARTS AND CRAFTS FAIRE So what is a parent to do while their young wizards and witches are safely ensconced in the Hogwarts School of Magic? How about a visit to Antioch’s Summer Arts and Crafts Faire? It is a time when they can enjoy searching through the treasures created by some of the country’s top artisans for items both magical and non-magical.

Many of these artisans make the trip twice a year to support the craft fairs for which the Village of Antioch (or during Wizards Weekend Day, Hogsmeade) is known for.

This year the Summer Arts and Crafts Faire will only be held one day, June 16, because the Wizards Weekend Day has been packed into one full day. The craft fair will again return in the fall.

After the adults have browsed and shopped the fair while the wizards are busy at the Hogwarts School of Magic, they will want to return to enjoy all the special activities for the children, including balloon art, kids fun fair, face painting and a variety of wizarding fun.

VISIT THE MINISTRY OF MAGIC If not attending the School of Magic, or when classes are completed, it is time to make a visit to the Ministry of Magic to pick up the Marauder’s Map. The Ministry of Magic is located at Main and Orchard and the map is necessary to lead the wizards on the journey through the village to find the magical shops where there are a variety of wizardly photo ops.

The Wizard Village Shops will remain open during the entire time of the Wizards Weekend Day, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The Scavenger Hunt and Horcrux Search runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. At that time all completed entries must be returned to the Ministry of Magic by whatever magical means one chooses, be it by hand or by owl.

The Marauder’s Map will lead scavengers through all the challenges to be completed before the time deadline for the chance to win magical prizes. Winners will be announced by owl and posted on the Wizards Weekend Facebook page.

Communion ceremonies vary among denominations The celebration of Holy Communion is a thread that links all Christians. While the components of receiving the Eucharist are similar, each church and denomination has its own variations on the sacrament.

The depiction of Holy Communion on television and in movies routinely shows the Catholic celebration, so many are familiar with how Catholics receive the Eucharist. But members of other Christian churches celebrate the sacrament differently.

LUTHERAN Lutheran beliefs are similar to those of Catholics, but there are some differences in the vocabulary used to describe the Eucharist.

The term “transubstantiation” is not used in the Lutheran Church to describe the change of the bread and wine into Christ. Furthermore, Catholics maintain the practice of reserving communion wafers in the tabernacle, believing that Christ is still present.

According to Busted Halo, an online magazine for spiritual seekers, Lutherans do not believe that the presence of Christ continues in the bread and wine after the time of the Eucharistic celebration.

ORTHODOX Orthodox Christians believe that the Eucharist is a sacrament, but they refer to it as a “mystery” rather than a “sacrament.” Followers accept the Real Presence of the Eucharist but do not attempt to explain how this change occurs. The service is commonly known as the Divine Liturgy in many Orthodox churches.

REFORMED AND PRESBYTERIAN Presbyterian and Reformed denominations have a different view of the Eucharist. Derived from the teachings of John Calvin, Reformed and Presbyterian churches teach that Christ is not literally present in the bread and wine. Instead, Presbyterians believe that Christ is spiritually present and is received with the power of the Holy Spirit for the faithful.

BAPTISTS AND OTHER GROUPS Baptists and similar denominations largely view The Lord’s Supper as a remembrance of Christ’s suffering. According to the spiritual resource Christianity in View, many deny any form of physical or spiritual presence of Christ in the bread and wine.

In addition to the practices reserved for each denomination, there may be other rules regarding the celebration of Mass and the Eucharist. For example, the Vatican mandates that only Roman Catholics who are in good standing with the Church and are free from mortal sin are allowed to participate in the Eucharist.

In addition, Catholics must fast for an hour before receiving Communion, while some churches make Communion open to any Christian.

Some churches offer Communion every day or once per week.

Others do it less often. Celebrants may walk up to the altar to receive from a common cup and bowl, while others pass around the Eucharist among parishioners. What’s distributed also may be different. Fruit juice may be substituted for wine.

No matter how the Eucharist is shared and celebrated, it remains a sacred component of church ceremonies.

Hornsby’s hits include “The Way It Is,” “Mandolin Rain,” “Look Out Any Window” and “Every Little Kiss.” His three Grammy wins include Best New Artist in 1986, Best Bluegrass Recording in 1989 and a shared award with Branford Marsalis in 1993 for Best Pop Instrumental for “Barcelona Mona,” a song written and performed for the 1992 Olympic Games.

Hornsby’s albums have sold more than 11 million copies worldwide.

Hornsby participated in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame opening concert in September 1995; Farm Aid IV and VI; and Woodstock II in 1994 and Woodstock III in 1999. He performed the national anthem at an NBA All-Star game, four NBA finals, the 1997 World Series Game 5 and on the soundtrack to “Baseball: A Film By Ken Burns.” He also had a long involvement with the Grateful Dead, performing as a member of the group on tour for two years. Most recently, he was a special guest of Bon Iver for its set at the Coachella Festival in April 2017. Hornsby has composed and performed for projects with a long-time collaborator, filmmaker Spike Lee. His latest score, for Lee’s Netflix production “She’s Gotta Have It,” was completed last year.

Wynonna and her band the Big Noise, led by her husband, drummer and producer Cactus Moser, released their debut album in 2016. The album features special guests Derek Trucks, Jason Isbell, Susan Tedeschi and Timothy B. Schmit. Wynonna has described the new sound as “vintage yet modern” and a “return to the well.”

The New York Times writes: “Nathan

Catch all the

ACTION

Gunn commands an operatic baritone whose mighty heft and richness confer an outsize authority on everything it touches.” Gunn has appeared in opera houses such as the Metropolitan Opera, San Francisco Opera, Lyric Opera of Chicago, Royal Opera House and Paris Opera. He supports new works and has created roles in 21st century operas most recently collaborating with teams at the Pittsburgh Opera, with Beth Morrison Projects and with some of today’s leading and cutting-edge composers.

The Chicago Tribune calls the Chicago Philharmonic “one of the country’s finest symphonic orchestras.” It is a collective of more than 200 musicians of the highest level performing in the Chicago area today. Through a community of musicians and community members, the Chicago Philharmonic aims to excite, engage and transform diverse audiences with the beauty and power of great music.

Family events

Events for the family include Ralph’s World at 4 p.m. July 29 and a community showcase with the Lake Geneva Symphony Orchestra at 4 p.m. June 24.

Ralph’s World features indie rocker Ralph Covert and his band with highenergy tunes and a silly atmosphere. Covert transforms his former band’s original songs with fun, age-appropriate lyrics that will have the kids dancing and laughing.

Before venturing into the kid-friendly music circuit, Covert was a member of the Chicago-based rock ‘n’ roll band the Bad Examples. In addition to making music and touring his live children’s show, Covert is a songwriter, playwright and children’s book author.

The Lake Geneva Symphony Orchestra will present an afternoon of movie music for the entire family. The orchestra performs the scores to award-winning films such as “Pirates of the Caribbean,” “Forrest Gump,” “Superman,” “Lord of the Rings,” “Frozen,” “Gladiator” and “Star Wars.”

Now in its 18th season, the Lake Geneva Symphony Orchestra, under the leadership of music director David Anderson and concertmaster Lisa Gauslow, boasts musicians from southeastern Wisconsin and northern Illinois.

Location

All events are performed in the Ferro Pavilion on the campus of George Williams College of Aurora University in Williams Bay. Performances take place rain or shine. Free parking and shuttle service for all events are located close to campus at Williams Bay High School at 500 W. Geneva St., in Williams Bay.

Religious giving and tithing today

Nonprofit organizations rely on the generosity of donors to help them meet their mission statements. Billions of dollars are donated to charities each year, but few people may know that religious organizations are among the biggest beneficiaries of Americans’ charitable largesse. According to data from the National Study of American Religious Giving and the National Study of American Jewish Giving, American households donated a median of $375 to congregations, $150 to religiously identified nonprofit organizations and $250 to secular charities in 2012. Various sources repeatedly state that those who identify as religious people are more likely to be philanthropic.

Instituted in ancient times, tithing is a concept of giving 10 percent of one’s personal income to a religious organization.

Because donors’ income was unlike it is today, centuries ago tithes often came as donations of produce and livestock.

Tithing was compulsory within traditional Jewish law and practice, and Christians adopted the practice through Old Testament teachings. Tithing is mentioned in Leviticus 27:30, Numbers 18:26, Deuteronomy 14:24, and 2 Chronicles 31:5.

While the New Testament does not recommend or demand tithing and only mentions that gifts should be “in keeping with income,” some religious groups continue to embrace tithing.

Depending on the religious organization, adherents to a particular faith may be encouraged to tithe. But many religious groups now leave it up to donors’ discretion with regard to how (METRO CREATIVE) much to give.

STOCK PHOTO Catch All the Action

Individuals who plan to give to religious organizations can determine a donation figure that is within their means and adjust it accordingly through the years – giving out of feelings of purpose and not obligation.
