As associate vice president of facilities at Governors State University, Hinsdale resident John Potempa has a lot on his plate, not the least of which is the construction of a state-of-the-art cafeteria where students can fill theirs. The nearly $4 million remodel of the dining hall, expected to be unveiled when school starts in late August, is perhaps the largest project currently under way on the University Park campus. "It's an unending job," Potempa said of his role as...
After asking the Hinsdale Plan Commission to consider a moratorium on the demolition of historic homes, most Hinsdale trustees are no longer interested in imposing one. Following hours of public comment during three virtual hearings on June 10, 24 and 30, commissioners voted 4-2 not to recommend the moratorium to the Hinsdale Village Board. “The whole purpose of the moratorium was (to allow) a standstill while we took action on the part of Title 14 that relates to demolitions,” Village President Tom Cauley said at the Jul...
Summer Brew & Q — canceled. Taco Tuesday — postponed. Independence Day celebration — canceled. The messages stamped in red in the online summer brochure indicate which programs are not taking place this summer. No pool memberships. No group swimming lessons. On some pages, one or two programs carry the red notice; on others, all are affected. This seems a strange moment, then, to celebrate the Hinsdale Parks and Recreation Department. But July is Park and Recreation Month across the country, and the National Recreation and Pa...

Village officials have been in contact with her family and brought in grief counselors to talk to her co-workers in the department, Gargano stated in a...

The new facility on Garfield Avenue just south of First Street opened today, July 16.

The Willowbrook Corner program, run by The Community House, provides life-impacting academic and social support to youth and families in an underserved community about 10 minutes south of Hinsdale. Hinsdale's Trayce Biancalana, a longtime volunteer, said the pandemic's repercussions have taken a particularly heavy toll on residents there. "They have absolutely been hit a lot harder," she said. "The whole issue of child care for people who were able to maintain their jobs has b...
Oak Street in southeast Hinsdale soon will take on a drastically different look with the pending demolitions of two iconic, historic homes — all because Hinsdale’s preservation ordinance lacks substance. Members of Hinsdale’s Historic Preservation Commission anticipated that homes of this architectural significance could be at risk and began tireless efforts at public hearings to revise what is called Title 14 of the Hinsdale Village Code. This began in November 2018 with the village appointing respected planning consu...
It takes more than food to care for a family, but many food assistance programs don't allow for purchases of the things needed to keep ourselves and our homes clean - things that during COVID-19 are more important than ever. "The hygiene pantry was our idea to help families in need with keeping their homes and selves clean during COVID," said Dr. Jennifer Swoyer, director of the Amita Health Adventist Medical Center Residency Program in La Grange and a resident of Hinsdale....
“Bueller? Bueller?” The Zoom public hearing about a potential moratorium on the demolition of historic homes reminded us a little of the film classic “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” as Hinsdale Plan Commission Chairman Steve Cashman often had to repeatedly call out names of residents when it was their turn to give public comment. We certainly hope Zoom public hearings will soon be a thing of the past, but the format did give an unusually large number of people a voice in this debate. And we heard the same message over and over:...
Service to her community has always been part of Amy Wickstrom's life. Her new job as executive director for HCS Family Services, she said, is the culmination of decades spent helping those in need.

She also spent time working as a domestic violence...

Phase 4 of Restore Illinois is here, which means cherished local facilities are able to welcome back the public - at least on a limited basis. The Hinsdale Public Library, 20 E.

On Tuesday night, the Hinsdale Plan Commission wisely voted 4-2 against imposing any type of moratorium on home demolitions. Even the two members in favor expressed doubts that the proposed six-month duration was actually necessary. Unfortunately, the plan commission is merely an advisory body and the village trustees, who have heard no public testimony, are free to disregard the commission’s vote. The top-down, hastily-conceived moratorium proposed by the board was sparked when current owners of three old homes in S...

The Hinsdale Plan Commission does not support a 180-day moratorium on the teardown of historic homes in the village. The 4-2 vote came at the close of a public hearing during which commissioners listened to more than eight hours of comments stretched across three sessions. Because the hearing was held via Zoom due to the COVID-19 pandemic, residents were allowed to call in or submit written comments expressing their opinion. "The village board of trustees wanted community...

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...
