Court Watch: College of DuPage Beating Victim Must Refile Lawsuit

Here's what we're keeping an eye on at the DuPage County Courthouse.

DUPAGE: Glen Ellyn: A man who sued College of DuPage over injuries he sustained in a 2010 on-campus attack has been given additional time to refile his lawsuit after it was essentially thrown out in November. William Kendrick filed a lawsuit last year claiming the school and its police should have prevented him from being jumped by a group of non-students.

Kendrick has until early next month to refile. A hearing is scheduled for March 28.

Mark Your Calendar for Pączki Day

Pączki in any language means delicious.

If you observe Lent, then you most likely have started the countdown to Feb. 22—Ash Wednesday and the beginning of 40 days of fasting, or the very least, giving up sweets until Easter. The little time left—called Mardi Gras, Carnival, Carnevale or Fasnacht in parts of the world—will be celebrated with partying and indulgence until the last second of Fat Tuesday, which ends at midnight Feb. 21. A Polish tradition is to celebrate the last six days of Carnival, known as zapusty, beginning on Fat Thursday (Tłusty Czwartek) when pączki (fried doughnuts) are eaten. In America, pączki can be found in Polish bakeries this week, with the big day, not this Thursday, but next Tuesday: Pączki Day, Feb. 21 Flour Barrel, 483 N. Main St., is taking …

Glen Ellyn Village Trustees Expected to Vote on TIF

Approving the TIF district for downtown Glen Ellyn is on tonight's agenda.

A feasibility study was conducted last year to determine if the TIF district was appropriate for downtown Glen Ellyn. It was determined that Glen Ellyn qualified and would benefit from the economic tool. Since the adoption of the 2009 Downtown Strategic …
