Zoe Ellis, 2-1/2, of Johnsburg samples a creme-filled cupcake sold by one of the vendors during the It’s Thursday concert held at the Brook Bandshell, 900 Skidmore Dr., Antioch, on Thursday. Zoe was among the many area residents who enjoyed the music of the country group Hillbilly Rockstarz. The final concert of the year takes place this Thursday with the return of Melloncamp. The group’s original July 21 appearance was cancelled when a thunderstorm hit the area just before showtime.

Antioch Fire Chief John Nixon has taken a job as chief for the smaller community of Fox River and Countryside Fire Rescue District in St. Charles in Kane County. Matt Tabar, First Fire Protection District 1 board member said, “This is a smaller district and it is closer to Chief Nixon’s home in Algonquin.” Nixon informed Village of Antioch officials and fire protection district board last week of the move. His last day will be Sept. 2. Nixon has served as Antioch fire chief for more than six years. His new district has two fire stations that are each staffed 24/7 by four firefighter/paramedics. Tabar said fire district board met in closed ses-
sion to discuss replacement methods and a possible interim fire chief. individuals “Several have expressed interest in the position,” Tabar said. The district board met with the Antioch Village Board in a closed session after the Village Board’s regular meeting on Aug. 8. “This is the first time that both boards have worked directly with each other,” Tabar said. “We will develop a joint plan as we move forward.” Antioch Mayor Larry Hanson said, “This was unexpected and the village and fire district will work together to maximize the talent we have, develop a short-term solution that will be in place while we create a process to find a long-term solution.” “We are a team,” he said.
