Antioch seniors ask village to restore funding
Roll, pumpkin, roll
By Gail Peckler-Dziki CORRESPONDENT
JUDE KAIDER Hi-Liter
Two pumpkins, like two ships passing in the night, cross paths in this composite photograph taken during the Pumpkin Roll, a part of the festivities at the second annual Monster Mash Bash held at the Brook Bandshell, 900 Skidmore Dr., Antioch on Saturday. The photo shows each pumpkin at 12 different points on its journey. The Bash followed Treat the Streets, another Halloween event at which children visit the merchants in the village business area. Both were hosted by the Parks and Recreation Department. In addition to the popular pumpkin roll there were costume contests, bouncy houses, food, games, and more. The event also served as a collection point for food donated to the Open Arms Mission.
Several members of the Antioch Senior Council and parks and recreation director Shaun Roby appeared at the Village Board meeting Oct. 12 to request a reinstatement of village funding for the senior center. At one time, the village paid the entire bill. Later, the village paid half of the salary and benefits of senior center personnel and the other half was taken from the Dolly Spiering Memorial Fund. That changed when the village began paying for ambulance services out of the general fund. All the cost of personnel was paid out of the Spiering Fund. At the current rate, Roby explained, the fund would be depleted in five to seven years. Since the ambulance referendum passed, the Senior Council is requesting the village revert to paying half of the salary and benefits, starting at the next annual budgeting cycle. Council members who attended said they were looking ahead to the future and weren’t expecting something immediate. Village Board members said they appreciated that the
senior council was bringing the issue to their attention early. The Antioch Senior Center is at 817 Holbek Drive, behind the fire and rescue squad building on Orchard Street. It is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Membership dues are $5 a year. Lunches are served every weekday except Tuesday at 11:45 a.m. Seniors 60 and older can find games ranging from bingo to four-handed pinochle, Bible study, ceramic painting, dances, weight-loss programs and other activities and health related services by visiting at the village website www.antioch.il.gov and clicking on the senior services link.
Chief requests new car Antioch police Chief Steven G. Huffman and Village Administrator Jim Keim presented the purchase of a new vehicle at the October Committee of the Whole meeting. Huffman has been driving a vehicle that was seized during a drug bust. That, Keim explained, is a possible illegal use since anything seized during a drug issue must be used exclusively
