Name: Rosyln Tischke Year: senior Hometown: Hinsdale What led you into diving? I had originally been a competitive gymnast for the majority of my life.

Probably the variety and all the different dives you can do. And the coaches bring a lot of positive energy to the sport every...

As a health educator, the most common question I am asked by adults is, "How do I talk to my teenager about drugs?" Some of the most important work around these conversations is properly preparing ourselves to have them. There are all types of different drugs in this world and doing research on them all can be overwhelming and for many flat out impossible. A great starting point is to gather information on a specific drug that may be impacting a family/community or simply the...

Dan and I love to grill. We don't use a traditional charcoal grill (takes too long) or a Green Egg (too pricey) or one of those Weber wood pellet grills (too new). We have your standard issue Weber gas grill, a Father's Day gift for Dan a few years back to replace a cheap Charbroil he had rebuilt twice. His favorite part of the gift? Fuller's Home & Hardware assembled AND delivered it. The recipes we enjoy making aren't too complicated, either. Many of our favorites - includin...

How is COVID-19 affecting how people grieve? COVID-19 has left many on the cancer journey feeling alone and isolated, said Michael Williams, a Wellness House psychologist. Patients have to go to treatment alone while their caregiver waits in the car. Support groups can no longer meet in person and must be held via Zoom. And when someone dies, the pandemic prevents people from reaching out the way they normally would. Intimate caregivers, who have been in fifth gear trying to...

One of my friends from college used to post questions on a little dry-erase board on the outside of his freshman dorm room door. He wrote the questions for fun - and to see how we would answer them when we walked by. The questions ranged from random to ridiculous, philosophical to funny. One question he posted was: "If you were stuck in a vat of snot and someone threw poo at you, would you duck?" I was usually too busy laughing to answer back on his board, but his question...
Hinsdale's Alexandra Collins was quite familiar with the Sterigenics industrial sterilization facility in Willowbrook when she learned about its decades of emitting ethylene oxide, a gas linked to cancer risks.

"I realized that my health could actually have been getting worse when I was doing something to try and improve my health." Deeply concerned, she and her...
Their deaths often are not recorded in the daily statistics tracking COVID-19 fatalities and often don't make the evening news. But the grief is just as profound for families of the 53 people who died of an overdose in DuPage County from the start of the quarantine until the end of June. "I have reached out to multiple rehabilitation leaders and they confirm the increase in those seeking rehabilitation, drug use relapse and instances of fatal and non-fatal overdoses in their p...

Today it's home to Sweet Ali's Gluten Free Bakery. The photo is from Sandy Williams' book, "Images of America -...
Kristin McDaniel was happy to see her seventh-grade son Brady head back to class Tuesday at Hinsdale Middle School.

A supporter of the hybrid model, she said she was hoping to see her older children, Hinsdale Central sophomore Cooper and freshman Maisie, back in class as well. They are currently...
