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...

Hinsdale Police Chief Brian King had a straightforward message for residents during a virtual crime forum Monday night. Police are working diligently to prevent thieves from stealing cars and finding and arresting those who do. But the best method of crime prevention is for residents to stop leaving their cars unlocked with the key fobs inside. “I cannot stress enough — we need to get residents to lock their cars overnight and remove their key fobs,” King said. In just the past four weeks, two cars have been stolen from...

I asked Ken yesterday what happened at the Hinsdale Village Board the previous night. "They're going with a hybrid model," he replied dryly. "Tom, Laurel and Jerry will attend the first meeting of the month. Scott, Neale, Matt and Luke will attend the second meeting." He jests, of course, but the "hybrid model" is on our minds. We've spent a lot of time learning and writing about hybrid plans for Hinsdale students to return to school. First I "attended" (i.e. watched online)...

Using unique fabrics and cork from Portugal, she creates special occasion bags in a variety of shapes and sizes. The bags will be am...
