If we could come up with one reason to be thankful for each day of November — up to and including Thanksgiving — in 2020, we certainly can do so in 2021.

For some, the holiday season begins with the first snowfall, the radio's transition to songs about Santa or the first spotting of an evergreen tree tied to the top of a minivan. For dancers like Samantha Leddy and Kylie Norman, the holidays begin with rehearsals for the annual production of "The Nutcracker." "I love that 'The Nutcracker' has always been part of my holiday season," Norman said. But after this year, the holidays will never be quite the same for Leddy and Norman,...

We are baffled. We’ve watched and listened to the discussion of grading practices in Hinsdale High School District 86 from the Sept. 30 and Oct. 14 board meetings. We’ve been attending and reporting on school board meetings for decades, both at The Hinsdalean and other community newspapers.

But that’s not the case with the current D86 board. Three b...
