Trinity Sober Living is no longer limited to nine residents in its sober house in Hinsdale, following a June 10 order issued by Judge Brian Diamond of the DuPage County 18th District Circuit Court. The court originally stayed all litigation in the case to allow the federal court to rule on the issues of preemption after Trinity filed a federal lawsuit in November claiming the village of Hinsdale is discriminating against residents of the The Sober House at 111 N. Grant St. “The court was led to believe, at that time, that t...
Athlete profiles typically are part of our sports pages throughout the school year, with a different team member recommended each week by his or her coach. With the spring season canceled due to COVID-19, The Hinsdalean altered its sports coverage, eliminating the round-up page on which the profiles ran. We are happy to highlight these athletes now in a four-part series that began June 11. Today's athletes competed on the track, boys water polo and girls lacrosse teams. Name:...

Opinions are mixed on a proposed moratorium on the demolition of historic homes in Hinsdale. The Hinsdale Plan Commission began a public hearing on Zoom June 10 on the possible 180-day ban, which would forbid the demolition of a single-family home or building with landmark designation or that was deemed historically significant or contributing in the 1999 Hinsdale Reconnaissance Survey by Historic Certification Consultants. That survey was a point of contention for some opponents. “The 1999 survey was clearly o...
Boundaries. Created for safety, in some cases. Others, as Grant Glowiak and a team from Union Church of Hinsdale discovered, may be subtle instruments of segregation. Glowiak, director of youth ministries at Union Church, traveled with two other adult leaders and three high schoolers to Baltimore from June 7-16, 2019, to better understand the inner-city's racial, social, economic and political dynamics. A couple of days after arriving, the group was taken on a "social justice...
He was a fixture in Chicago journalism. His death was the second story on the 10 o’clock NBC news Tuesday night. Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot tweeted about his loss. But to many of us here in Hinsdale, Dick Johnson was first and foremost a neighbor and a friend. To those of us in the Community Revue, he was our castmate. And what a castmate he was. Dick was the guy who would miss a million rehearsals (hard to argue with his excuse — he had to be on TV) and then come in and...

SPRINGFIELD — Gov. JB Pritzker on Thursday announced new resources to help the hundreds of thousands of people unemployed in Illinois, unveiling an online portal that will offer job training and connect job seekers with prospective employers.

Mental Health Month has been observed the fifth month of every year since 1949. But the month of May has never looked quite like it does in 2020. "A lot has changed, obviously, in the last couple of months," said Greg DiDomenico, president and chief executive officer of Community Memorial Foundation in Hinsdale. "The coronavirus has affected all of us in different ways. That's why self-care, particularly mental health, is so important." Among those who are feeling the emotiona...
May is Historic Preservation Month, and who better to weigh in on the observance than members of Hinsdale's historic preservation commission? The Hinsdalean asked commissioners to each submit a structural selection - be it residential or within the historic downtown - that represents the kind of vintage architecture that for which the village is prized. Commissioner Sandy Williams, stumped by the challenge of choosing one from the plentiful options, instead contributed her tho...
SPRINGFIELD – As statewide COVID-19 hospitalizations remain stable, state leaders say not much has changed to warrant an altered response to the pandemic. “The virus hasn’t gone away. It is still out there, and nothing that we’re doing now is changing that fact,” Gov. JB Pritzker said during his daily COVID-19 briefing Wednesday in Chicago. “What we have changed, what has made things better, what has reduced the number of potential infections and the number of people going into the hospital and dying, is the fact that people...

Fewer commitments and plentiful free time sound like the perfect ingredients for a good time. But mix in a stay-at-home order and social distancing precautions, and having fun is lot harder than it used to be. Favorite forms of entertainment - eating out, seeing a movie, getting together with friends - are simply not available right now. So Hinsdale residents are putting in a little work to make sure family and friends are finding ways to enjoy themselves. Katy Altemose...

Cafe la Fortuna owner Angela Lavelli said she didn't think her Hinsdale business would be able to continue operations when Illinois eateries were ordered to cease dine-in service last month due to the COVID-19 pandemic. "I was thinking that I was going to be closing down," she said, noting the coffee house doesn't carry many food items. One month later, she's still brewing up a storm at her 46 Village Place shop. "I am really thankful," she said. "(Customers) from Hinsdale,...
Anxiety and stress can be normal and healthy responses but are often vilified, psychotherapist and best-selling author Lisa Damour said Tuesday night. "This is something that has definitely gotten lost," she said. Damour presented a special webinar edition of The Community Speaker Series presented by the District 181 Foundation to discuss the challenges of parenting during the COVID-19 pandemic. Anxiety works like an alarm system to keep us safe. It becomes unhealthy only in...
The village’s website proudly declares that it is “strongly committed to the preservation of its community character and historic past.” The historic Dean house begs to differ. It is slated to be torn down with little more than a collective yawn from the village board. Another local developer, when complimented on her recent purchase of a historically significant home, declared, “This one is going down.” In the 15 years since the New York Times deemed Hinsdale the epicenter of the teardown trend, all that we have to show f...
With annual Easter Egg hunt put on hold this year, the Hinsdale Parks and Recreation Department and The Community House teamed up to chauffeur the bunny around town to make some house calls.

We're happy to report that the bunny was able to comply with social distancing guidelines. (Jim...
