Bella Golden, 8, kicks off the Memorial Day weekend by testing her water slide navigational skills on the opening day of the Antioch Aqua Center in Williams Park, 741 Main St., Saturday. Area residents needed little encouragement to make their initial visits to the pool this season as the Parks and Recreation Department ordered near-perfect weather for the weekend with temperatures in the mid-80s. The Aqua Center will be open only on the weekend until June 5 when it begins seven-day-a-week operations through Aug. 19. Monday-Saturday hours are 12 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 6:30 p.m. The Center also offers discounted passes and is available for party rental. For more information about Parks and Recreation events or for 2016 Aqua Center updates call (847) 395-2160.

Fire District representatives are Matt Tabar and Carolyn Van Patten. The village representatives are Scott Pierce and Jerry Johnson. Tabar, who is chairman of the committee commented, “We get together to make rec-

One demonstrator ambulance has already been purchased, using money that both the village and fire district received after the Antioch Rescue Squad ceased operation.
