Ravine River — Cody and Brayden Jurgenson took to Ravine Road with their kayak Saturday afternoon. Many of the streets throughout northeast Hinsdale were flooded after a Saturday afternoon rainfall. Several longtime residents said they had never seen anything like it. Some speculated that the Tollway’s work along Flagg Creek might have contributed to the flooding.

With the intersection of County Line Road and Walnut Street re-opened to traffic earlier this week, attention has turned to what caused unprecedented flooding in the northeast part of town Saturday. “A priority for us was to get out there and do restoration and repairs,” said Rocco Zucchero, chief planning officer for the Illinois Tollway. The flooding created several voids under the roadway that had to be stabilized, he said. “Now we’re shifting our focus with the village to start conducting the investigations,” Zucchero said. Prior to the flooding, the Tollway had been working with heavy machinery along the southern edge of Peirce Park, and a piping system is visible near home plate of the baseball field closest to Wellness House. That and other areas will be assessed, Zucchero said. At times on Saturday “We’re looking at everything the water bubbling up throughout the entire project area,” from this sewer, on the he said. “We have to wait for the corner of Walnut Street water in all of the pipes to subside and County Line Road, before we can get in and conduct a reached more than 5 full investigation.” feet into the air.

Along with being a great form of exercise for all ages, Powell said swimming has benefits that extend beyond the water, especially for members of a competitive swim team. Having earned two state championship titles as a member of the Hinsdale Central High School swim team, Powell said competitive swimming taught him discipline, a strong work ethic and the ability to work as part of a team. Now, he’s passing those lessons on to other young people, along with the ability to speed through the water. This year’s Stingray swim team will stick close to home as the country continues to recover from the pandemic. Swimmers will participate in a single inner-squad swim meet in lieu of a regular competition season. But despite the abbreviated schedule, Powell said interest in the team is strong, with 100 to 140 swimmers aged 5 to 16 from Hinsdale and the surrounding communities expected to participate when practices begin in early July. “They get to meet kids from all over Jean and Karl Meyer of Hinsdale are sharing their love of the water with their 5-year-old grandson, Sterling.
