Kristy Brindley's heart goes out to parents who get a call that their high school son or daughter had an abnormal EKG at a Young Hearts for Life screening. "I know that's going to be a very hard call to receive and a very shocking call," Brindley said. "In reality, I know they just received a blessing. They got a call much different than our family." The call Brindley received in the summer of 2016 was that her son, Michael, had died of sudden cardiac arrest while attending...

Name: David Lacayo Year: senior Hometown: Clarendon Hills How did you get into cross country? Back in sixth grade a group of my close friends did cross country and said I should try it. So in seventh grade I tried it and absolutely loved it. I really felt like mentally and physically it was the sport I enjoyed the most. What do you enjoy about it? I honestly think it's the grind. It's the feeling of getting up at 6:30 in the morning in the summer and running 25x400 intervals....

Bravo to Anton Riegger for taking the initiative wanting to get rid of plastic. We as parents and grandparents should care for the future of our young generation. We do not need plastic bags. (Hawaii has discontinued them for 10 years already.) We must take along our cloth bags or should have to pay a high amount at each store for each bag we need. Then hopefully we will get used to taking our own. Drinking water out of plastic bottles is not really healthy due to the gases the plastic gives up. What is so difficult to get us...
Finally - after being apart since February, I was able to see my partner Patrick in person. We spent the month of August in Ireland, after waiting through various July deadlines to see if the restrictions keeping me from France, where Patrick had been quarantined since February, would be lifted. Fortunately, Ireland, like the UK, was still open to US citizens traveling from here, as long as we self-quarantined for 14 days after arrival. In Ireland, things seemed so, well, norm...
October is my favorite month of the year. I love everything associated with it - and fall. Pumpkin spice lattes and other pumpkin treats. Corduroy and cashmere (not necessarily worn together.) Fall foliage. Our annual trip to the pumpkin farm and the arboretum. Halloween. It's just a great month. October 2020, I have to admit, it is a little less great. There is no high school football. No homecoming parade or pep rally. No Fire Prevention Week open house. A host of...

Those alarming statistics has prompted the NFPA to theme 2020 Fire Prevention Week, “Serve Up Fire Safety in the Kitchen!” This year’s observance of the annual nationwide campaign started Sunday and runs through Saturday. Almost half — 44 percent — of re...

The Hinsdale Central Foundation was set to induct five new members into its Hall of Fame on Oct. 1 at Ruth Lake Country Club. The annual event has taken place every year since the inaugural class was inducted in 1997.

It was not until 1986 that Walgreens again had a presence in Hinsdale," according to Sandy Williams' book, "Images of America -...
