About this Article

Both DuPage Forest Preserve Commission candidates hoping to represent the district that includes Churchill Woods Forest Preserve have different opinions about how to save a landmark structure there. Republican Tim Whelan of Wheaton says the forest preserve district should lead the charge to restore the McKee house — even if it means spending district money to do it. But Whelan's opponent in the District 4 race, Robert Flesvig, said he wouldn't support spending district cash to restore the Depression-era home at the preserve along St. Charles Road near Glen Ellyn.
