Task force will see first drawings next month with a public open house to follow in November.
Sketches of a pedestrian and environmentally friendly plan for what the Village has dubbed the Northwest Quadrant of downtown Deerfield will be ready for public viewing by the middle of November, according to Principal Planner Jeff Ryckart.

Don't let your leftover treats go to waste. We've got some ideas on how to put them to good use.
If you went overboard with buying or collecting Halloween candy this year, not to worry, we can help you unload your surplus.

"We donate it to Nicasa in North Chicago where it is distributed to children of women enrolled in one of Nicasa's programs." Nicasa was originally founded in 1966. The organization focuses on substance abuse prevention and treatment and has seven centers around the Chicagoland area.
