Food pantry gets a boost

A list of Wheaton restaurants will do their part to help fight hunger locally by participating this week in a Dine Away Hunger event. On Wednesday, the restaurants will donate 10 percent of their sales for the day to the People's Resource Center's food pantry. Diners don't need to present any forms or coupons for participation. All the money raised from Dine Away Hunger will go to buy food for the pantry, which serves 2,000 families every month.

Lombard inspects basins

Fourteen stormwater detention basins in Lombard needed some type of corrective action after being inspected by village staff, officials said. Lombard does periodic inspections of detention basins to ensure that they are functional and safe. This year, 66 of the village's 289 stormwater basins were inspected. Of the 14 that required corrective action, officials said a portion already have been fixed. Others are slated to be reinspected during the next few months. "Detention basin owners have been cooperative and most have completed or are in the process of completing the problems," said Nick Hatfield, Lombard's private development engineer.
