Hinsdale President Tom Cauley said last week he wanted to make public a 36-page report completed more than a year ago on the investigation into the death of Nicole Hladik, a 25-year-old village firefighter/paramedic candidate who took her own life in July of 2020. But Hladik’s family and friends made clear at the Jan. 18 village board meeting they don’t accept the legitimacy of the village-led investigation, which Cauley said found that “nothing inappropriate happened” against Hladik, the sole female firefighter on the for...
Hinsdale's Steve Foster took a good friend to Wrigley Field last Labor Day to watch his beloved Cubbies. Suddenly a foul ball sailed their way and landed just behind their row. Steve was quick to retrieve it. "Just as quickly he handed the ball to me with a request to give it to the young girl siting across the aisle from us," according to an account by that friend, relayed by Steve's brother Jim at a Nov. 13 memorial service. Jim held back tears as he read how the girl's...
I've spent a lot of time thinking about 2021 lately. It's not because I'm stuck in the past. Like many of you, I was ready for a new year (and the hope that it would be our last with COVID as a pandemic!). I've been immersed in 2021 for two reasons. 1. We are preparing our "Year in Review" special section, which will be inserted in next week's paper. So we've been looking for quotes and photos to include on the pages of this annual retrospective. 2. We are selecting our entrie...

By Ken Knutson [email protected] Hemophilia and similar disorders are conditions in which a person's blood does not clot properly. Relatively rare, finding specialized clinics for treatment can be hard for the tens of thousands diagnosed with the disease. That includes a close family member of Patrick Dills and his wife, Denise. So when the Hinsdale couple learned that the Bleeding & Clotting Disorders Institute of Peoria was in need of upgraded equipment and...

High number of positive COVID-19 cases. Check. Disappointment over holiday plans changed or canceled due to COVID-19. Check. Uncertainty over what the weeks and months ahead will bring wi...
More than 300 new laws took effect in Illinois on Jan. 1, the influx of fresh statewide rules and regulations for citizens, businesses and governmental entities to adjust to each year. Many of the measures will have little to no effect on average Hinsdaleans’ lives, but a few are worth highlighting as 2022 begins to unfold. Residents in the market for a new set of wheels will pay more in sales tax this year due to an increase in the private vehicle tax. Buyers will pay $75 more for each model year if the purchase price is l...

First park - Sandy Williams' book, "Images of America - Hinsdale," mentions that Burlington Park was the site of the first public landscaping in the village. "After the railroad granted use of the site in 1877, fencing and evergreens were installed. When the new depot was built in 1899, the village acquired the remainder of the block, setting the stage for walkways and flower beds to showcase Hinsdale's 'front yard.' In this early photograph, Flagg Creek, covered in 1934, is...
