The Falcons’ defense came out with a vengeance when Sebastian Christensen and Marco Oliverio forced a fumble, recovered by Soren Carlson. On the next defensive series, Ben Murphy forced a fumble recovered by Lucas Zayed. The offense did not want to be outshined and on the ensuing drive. Key blocks by Nate Thangamani, Carter Cox, Ivan Burt and Jacob Zager sprung Topher Allanson for a 65-yard touchdown run. The defense closed out the first half s...

How do you prepare for a marathon? When Brian Stanton moved to Hinsdale last year from Charlotte, N.C., the avid distance runner was unfamiliar with the area's best training routes. So Stanton, a senior vice president with Bank of America, created his own with a pass-by tour of bank branches. "I thought, 'Why not try something a little different?' On one my longer runs, I ran past five of them," he said, namely the Hinsdale, La Grange, Woodridge, Willowbrook and Westmont...

Although some people who were in the vicinity of Fourth and Garfield about 5:40 p.m. Sept. 24 reported they heard gun shots, no guns were fired, according to Hinsdale police.

Several weeks ago, a friend was lamenting summer’s end as we drank margaritas on her deck. We chatted and watched the western sky glow. “Summer’s the best. Every year it’s a different story,” she said. “I hate to say it, but I’m glad it’s over,” I replied. It’s autumn now. I hope your summer was a magical story. Like following ribbons of roads on cross-country adventures. Hots dogs, sun and too much beer in the bleachers. Sleeping with the windows open, the invisible tree...

So let me get this straight. A group called Local Government Information Services - linked to conservative Republican Dan Proft - decides to print what is essentially campaign advertisements disguised as a newspaper. The Daily Herald in Arlington Heights, whose press does commercial jobs in addition to printing its own paper, prints the piece. And now the Daily Herald and its owner, Paddock Publications, are the bad guys? What? Let me be clear. I am not a fan of what I would...
Students at Hinsdale Central High School might have noticed some interesting things this week. Footprints placed in the hallway led to the school’s new student services area, where teens can learn more about depression and how to get help in times of crisis. “Lighthouses” placed throughout the school identified people who are serving as a “Beacon of Hope” to help someone in need. On Monday, students were reminded during daily announcements of the number 988, the new Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, to contact for help with ment...

These are some of the tips for living a good life that Tom McCleary passed along to his kids just days before he died March 12 at the age of 63.

He shared the advice shortly after learning there was nothing else doctors could do to tre...
The Safety Accountability, Fairness and Equity-Today act, which goes into effect Jan. 1, has an inaccurate acronym, in Hinsdale Police Chief Brian King’s opinion. “I think the name SAFE-T Act is a complete misnomer,” King said. “It’s reform legislation for criminal justice.” Some provisions in the law, such as the requirement that officers wear body cameras, have been beneficial to the community and law enforcement, King said. “There are also parts of that legislation that are deeply problematic from a public safety standp...

The Hinsdale High School District 86 Board members last week discussed text messages as public records under the state’s Freedom of Information Act and how best to preserve them. “What’s the most efficient solution that we can have to make sure that everything is compliant (and) protected, and we’re being as responsive as we can and conservative in our practice?” board President Eric Held asked at the Sept. 22 meeting.
