✔︎ Margaret Kleber Christine Dannhausen-Brun Incumbent Margie Kleber and challenger Christine Dannhausen-Brun are vying for the two-year seat on the Community Consolidated District 181 Board.

Some Hinsdale Community Pool fees are going up as the village adjusts to last year's minimum wage increase and also looks to keep its pricing commensurate with other area swim facilities. At Monday's parks and recreation commission meeting, commissioners approved increasing the hourly lap rental rate from $15 to $18 for resident groups and from $26 to $28 for nonresident groups for the 2021 season. A group must be comprised of at least 75 percent Hinsdale residents to qualify...
I hope you will join me in supporting Margie Kleber in her candidacy for the District 181 Board. As the current president of the board, Margie is in the unique position of providing to the new board not only solid leadership but also experience and continuity of leadership, something her opponent lacks. This has been a challenging year for our children and our schools, and Margie has provided the leadership that we needed to get children back in the classroom safely. I have known Margie for many years and worked closely with...
The upcoming election on April 6 covers municipal positions including our school, library and village boards. These are probably on your radar. But the election also includes board and key staff of Downers Grove Township, the unit of local government that you probably don’t know much about (it’s the largest of the nine townships in DuPage County). Most of Hinsdale (the portion west of County Line Road) is in Downers Grove Township, and the township also includes adjacent suburbs to the west and south. The township annual bud...
My name is Haley Dynis, I’m a junior at Hinsdale Central High School and a life-long friend of Kendall Pickering. I’ve recently seen articles regarding the ribbons around town honoring the life of Kendall. As residents have displayed disapproval of the ribbons, I too would like to voice my opinion of their disrespect to our honorable gesture. Loved ones of Kendall took the week after her passing to put up ribbons in her honor. The ribbons stayed up for less than two months before being deemed a controversy in our town. By...

Village crews did their best over the past couple of months to keep the ice in tip top shape at Burns Field. On the coldest days, water was sprayed to create new layers of ice with a perfect finish. Hinsdale Public Works employees Eric Kasperski and Logan Albanese added the last coat just a couple weeks ago. Today the rink is more like a pond, and with temperatures staying above freezing, it looks like ice skating season is over. (Jim Slonoff photo)...

Women are making history. At the top of the list is Kamala Harris, the first woman to serve as our country’s vice president. She also is the first Black American and first South Asian American to be elected vice president. She is not alone. Women’s Public Leadership Network, which educates, organizes and inspires women to enter public office, compiled this list of “firsts” from the November election. • Yvette Herrell (New Mexico) — first Native American Republican woman elected to the U.S. Congress • Nancy Mace — first Repub...
The proposed rezoning of a prominent residential property could mean the eventual redevelopment of the sprawling site, a vestige from Hinsdale's early days, but also possibly aid in its preservation. In a pre-hearing discussion at Hinsdale's zoning board of appeals Feb. 17 via Zoom, board members were presented with variance requests for 505 S. County Line Road as part of the estate planning for the four-parcel site. The property is bordered by Woodside Avenue on the north and...

Ribbon-tying on village trees has become a customary tribute in the wake of a resident’s passing whose loss is widely felt. But some in the community say the colorful homage deteriorates into an eyesore and a nuisance when left to languish for months. At Tuesday’s Hinsdale Village Board meeting, trustees agreed to institute a policy encouraging people to remove the ribbons after two weeks, after which village crews would take them down. Village President Tom Cauley raised the issue during his president’s comments, sayin...
