Another Batavia police officer suspension and a controversial St. Charles development gets approval from P&D committee.
The Batavia Police Department might want to consider requiring their officers to take a driver’s ed class, as a second officer is suspended for involvement in a car crash. And one Geneva mom gets national attention from MSNBC with her blog criticizing her daughter’s school for forcing her to expose her Facebook page. What follow is a lot of discussion on just how far school officials should go and are legally entitled to go in questioning kids and checking cell phones. More news from around the ‘burbs this week: Batavia —Second Batavia Police Officer Suspended for Separate Crash — An officer was suspended for two days following his collision with a police vehicle in April. Another officer received a suspension for an unrelated crash on…

Let's face it, moms get the brunt of Thanksgiving. While the men folk watch football and await their annual, carefully prepared sumptuous feast, moms are—still too often—the ones stuck with the cooking and cleaning and happy hosting. Yes, there are men folk, lumpier than your worst mashed potatoes. Yes, there are noisy children. Yes, there are siblings and in-laws. They are company—and with company, there is angst. What could possibly go wrong? Right? Take our Patch poll or share your pet peeves, anecdotes and legendary family tales in the comments field.

George Orwell was right!
All that whooping and hollering you just heard was me! I couldn’t help but get a little excited over Houston, TX, removing every last one of its 70 red-light cameras. Despite a despicable legal attack and being outspent 10-to-1, a citizen’s group started by two brothers got the removal measure on the ballot and then prevailed. Not one to admit defeat, the camera company tried a last-ditch legal end run and, when the city council wouldn’t buckle, sued Houston for $25 million. It’s all about safety, isn’t it! That second round of loud applause you heard was also me. After calling every single West Suburban Patch police department, I was astonished to find that only four cities—Geneva, St. Charles, Lisle and Western Springs—employ the heinous…

The Wheaton Warrenville South boys soccer team posted its first shutout of the year in a 1-0 victory over Batavia.
After surrendering five goals Saturday, the Wheaton Warrenville South boys varsity team shutout Batavia 1-0 yesterday, Monday, Sept. 27 at home. The Tigers victory was their first shutout this season. Wheaton South coach Guy Callipari said part of the reason why his team did not have one previously was his players made the two defenders and goalkeeper provide most of the defense. "You can't do that when our opponents are sending numbers and midfielders through," Callipari said. "We have to track back and we were doing a better job at that—especially in the second half. In the first half, there was definitely a learning curve there and we got exposed a couple times." The Tigers (6-7-1) held strong and prevented the Bulldogs (6-5-2) from …

The Wheaton Warrenville South boys soccer team gave up four goals in the second half to Blazers in 5-4 defeat
ADDISON—The Wheaton Warrenville South boys varsity soccer team lost to Addison Trail, 5-4 yesterday, Saturday, Sept. 25 at Addison Trail. Tigers coach Guy Callipari said the team fell to Addison Trail because of missed chances. "We didn't finish enough opportunities," he said. "In the first 10 minutes, we could've had two goals there. We don't do a good job pressuring on the ball." In the first six minutes of the game, Wheaton South junior midfielder Dan Burns was open twice, but he kicked wide of the goal each attempt. Junior forward Alec Brazeau and junior midfielder Nick Smith also narrowly missed goals that Addison Trail senior goalie Jonathan Garcia saved early. Brazeau said improving Wheaton South's scoring efficiency is doable…

I was thinking more along the lines of "will my gravy turn out right?" Although politics and religion do sometimes come up often revealing a surprising side of someone with a full belly and some wine. Maybe it's a good thing Jeff won't be here! more ›
