Monday, June 4, 2012
Some supporters of the proposed senior living facility have suggested that Courthouse Square owners are against seniors. We are not against seniors, as many of us qualify are seniors ourselves! Our objection is that this massive commercial/institutional use is most inappropriate on this small 1.197 acre site. If you check out other senior housing developments, you’ll immediately notice that they are located on multi-acre sites separated from adjacent residential areas by parks and other passive recreational areas. In fact, this proposal under Wheaton’s zoning ordinance would require approximately a 5-acre lot as a standalone development. Many city officials have told us this isn’t a zoning issue – some don’t care about zoning and land …

Catch up with Mark Hiben and his college football career at Wheaton College after his success at Glenbard West.
It's known as "the catch" and will forever be remembered in Glenbard West High School football history. But for Wheaton College wide receiver and former Hilltopper standout Mark Hiben, it was much more than that. In November 2009, the highly touted Hilltoppers traveled to Lake Zurich in an IHSA Class 7A semifinal game with a birth to the state championship on the line. West’s depth chart was amassed with talent. But at the time, Hiben was a virtual unknown. This game would change everything for Hiben. A late fourth quarter injury to then-starting wide-out J.T. Mesch would create the perfect opportunity for junior Hiben. And for Hiben, a soft-spoken athlete, the chance couldn’t have come at a better time. “To be honest, that moment and …
