The Sanders family has done a fair amount of traveling, with annual visits to Jean's dad in Puerto Rico and Scott's family in Florida and a number of road trips. But they had never experienced anything like the 10 days they spent last summer in South Africa. The destination is offered in a rotation of incentive trips offered by Scott's company, Boston Scientific. He had never gone on that trip, but it piqued his interest. "It always comes back by far as the best location," he...

Needless to note, Hinsdale Central's 2020 fall sports season is like none before it. Due to state COVID-19 guidelines, football, boys soccer and girls volleyball have been moved to the spring of 2021.

We made it to the first week of May. We learned of the coronavirus in February, the world shut down in March and we worked diligently, day in, day out, week after week. Until Cinco de Mayo. We each had a small margarita with the Mexican lunch we ordered in that day. Two days later the bottle was still in the fridge. We hated to see it go to waste, so we decided to have a short happy hour. We found a single cocktail and an hour of conversation to be a balm during what we have...

What does it take to be a social worker? Simply put, Maggie Buoy is "the true definition of a social worker."

"I'm very shocked, honored, grateful, humbled and very appreciative," she...

You see them everywhere these days. Their names are Max, Tillie, Sadie, Dixie, Leo, Rocky, Pepper. They are joyful, bounding around on lawns, their entire little bodies vibrating with the sheer excitement of being alive. Puppies! Everywhere!

Biking, for one. Biking is THE sport of...
I love to have contact with friends and people. I love water and swimming! On June 22 happiness began for swimmers and “water-lovers” when the Hinsdale Community Swimming Pool opened for three hours per day. We learned that first day how fortunate we were when Channel 7 reporters interviewed us and said only two public pools had opened in DuPage County. Indeed, the past 10 weeks were wonderful. We could be in the clean water and swim and talk with new and old water-lovers. Every topic came up: kids, schools, home off...
In the early days of the pandemic, I turned to Dan Brown. I mean, if the fate of the world rests on Robert Langdon's ability to decipher the next location where a killer will strike, that doesn't leave much time to worry about whether I should wipe down my groceries, does it? Plus, since my husband had purchased several of his books years ago, they were conveniently available on a book shelf near me. I hadn't thought much about Brown since I binge-read "The Da Vinci Code" the...
Memorial Day to Labor Day. That’s how we typically celebrate the beginning and end of summer, enjoying its arrival with weekend getaways or barbecues, then mourning its departure with the same. Like Memorial Day, Labor Day originally was intended to do more than mark the beginning or end of the season. Labor Day dates back to the late 19th century, when the Industrial Revolution was at its height. Average Americans worked 12 hours a day, seven days a week in order to earn a living, according to history.com. Working c...
Adam Maycock said the decisions his parents made about raising children have shaped his life in more ways than one. His mom stayed home for years with him and his two siblings, even though his dad didn't earn all that much as a Seventh-day Adventist pastor. "I think that's a big part of who I am, that commitment that they made early on in our childhood," Maycock said. "It sticks with you and creates the framework on how you want to be a parent and create your home and lead,...
