Fourteen-week old Felix is available for adoption at the Hinsdale Humane Society.
Name: Felix Age: 14 weeks Sex: Male Breed: Chihuahua/terrier Weight: 7 lbs. Good with kids?: Yes, 13 years and older More info: Felix has a ton of energy and would be a good fit for a family where someone is home for most of the day. Although he’s a young pup, Felix is responding well to training and can “walk politely outdoors on a leash.” He’s dog friendly but not so fond of cats. Because he’s so lively, he’d be best served by a family that has experience owning dogs. Interested? Contact the Hinsdale Humane Society at 630-323-5630 or at 22 N. Elm St. in Hinsdale.

The following items and postings were found on Craigslist for the Burr Ridge, Darien, Downers Grove, Hinsdale, Clarendon Hills and Lemont area.

Some simple math tells me that this is $625 per Kennedy, apparently a discount from the original $4,500 ($1,125/JFK.) It’s available from a Willowbrook seller. … So, someone and their girlfriend in Darien saw that YouTube video of the talking dog, and decided that yes, they too would like a talking dog. Seriously.

The Red Devils' Casey May opened the game with two quick goals to lead Central past rival LT 3-1 in the sectional title game Friday night.
Casey May scored a goal 38 seconds into Hinsdale Central's match against Lyons Township in the sectional championship Friday night and added another early on to lead the Red Devils to a 3-1 win against its rival. "We talked about, from the beginning of the match, that we had to impose our style on them," Hinsdale Central coach Michael Smith said. "We wanted to play with agressiveness. It gave us a great cushion." Central (16-3-3) will face Sandburg at 7 p.m. Tuesday in the Lewis University supersectional in Romeoville. LT finished the season 16-5-2. The Red Devils controlled the pace for much of the first half, but Lyons' Catherine King nailed a beautiful kick to make it 2-1. "That's a world-class kick," Smith said. "Amazing shot," Lyons…
A law that would end Illinois' status as the last state in the nation without concealed-carry provisions passed the House with enough votes to override a likely veto.
By an 85-30 vote, the Illinois House moved on Friday to approve a law allowing certified residents to carry concealed firearms, which would end Illinois' status as the only state in the nation to completely prohibit carrying guns in public. According to Reuters, the "shall-issue" law, supported by Democratic Speaker Michael Madigan, mandates that concealed-carry permits be issued to Firearm Owners Identification Card-holders who have completed 16 hours of training; it maintains the ban on firearms in many places, including government buildings, schools, stadiums and bars. "Criminals are cowards," Rep. Mike Bost, a southern Illinois Republican, told the Associated Press before the vote. "If they know there's an opportunity they're going to …
