The course was developed by the Alliance for College Readiness which includes Elgin Community College and all of its feeder high school districts — Elgin Area School District U-46, St. Charles Community Unit District 303, Burlington-based Central Unit District 301, and Carpentersville-based Community Unit District 300, the only district to offer the course next year. http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20130514/news/705149726/ http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20130514/news/705149726/ Tue, 14 May 2013 17:58:47 -0400 The Carol Stream Park District is seeking village zoning approvals to construct a 13-foot, 8-inch welcome sign in front of the new recreation center that is scheduled to open this summer. Parks officials are also seeking village permission to attach two acrylic placards onto an existing sign at the Town Center as a way to provide motorists on Lies Road with directional signage for the rec center. The requests come after the village and park boards were unable to come to an agreement about shared signage on the Town Center site at Gary Avenue and Lies Road. http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20130513/news/705139600/ http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20130513/news/705139600/ Mon, 13 May 2013 23:17:27 -0400 A new business expecting to generate $18.5 million of sales in its first five years in St. Charles has told city officials it can't afford to relocate to the city unless it receives a tax incentive of up to $70,000. The city obliged. Representatives from motorcycle dealer Windy City Triumph want to relocate to St. Charles by leasing an unused portion of the Fox River Harley-Davidson building at 131 S. Randall Road. That's the same location US Adventure RV hoped to relocate to when it secured a tax incentive from aldermen back in January. http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20130513/news/705139643/ http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20130513/news/705139643/ Mon, 13 May 2013 21:30:39 -0400 A female jogging on bike path on the south side of St. Charles Friday morning reported that she was inappropriately touched by a man walking on the path, according to police.

"It's not a simple home structure. That's what people don't understand. What is the crime for taking too long to do something? I should be commended for taking time to do it right." http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20130509/news/705099722/ http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20130509/news/705099722/ Thu, 9 May 2013 18:10:07 -0400 Among the dozens of people who came to watch the Bartlett village board swearing-in ceremony Tuesday was Pam Rohleder, director of the Bartlett History Museum and the Bartlett Depot Museum.

The college will create the new position of "lecturer" — a nontenured adjunct faculty member who will teach more classes than the average adjunct professor, but still fewer classes than a full-time professor. The new designation would allow lecturers to be eligible for health care insurance, officials said. http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20130509/news/705099734/ http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20130509/news/705099734/ Thu, 9 May 2013 17:34:44 -0400 A DuPage County judge cut bail in half Thursday for a former Harper College wrestler whose home invasion trial ended in a hung jury.
