After two failed referendums to pay for large-scale upgrades at Hinsdale Central and Hinsdale South high schools, it didn’t take a deep dive by officials to identify a major obstacle to success. The plan to construct a brand new 10-lane pool facility at Central while keeping South’s pool at six lanes was spotlighted by opponents as an inequitable distribution of resources and simply reinforced the perception of some that South had second-class status. District 86 board members decided that, to ensure the third and $140 mil...

Hinsdale police officer Mike Coughlin could have handed in his badge in January after 30 years of service. But duty kept him on a few more months. "I wanted to finish out the school year," said the longtime juvenile and crime prevention officer and familiar figure to current and former Hinsdale youth. "I didn't want to leave them high and dry."
