Break-ins at two luxury Hinsdale car dealerships early Monday morning could have ended in tragedy, Police Chief Brian King said. Police responded to an activated alarm at Continental Motor Sports, 420 E. Ogden Ave., shortly after 2:20 a.m. and pinned the suspects’ vehicle against the building with two squad cars. Three suspects then exited the vehicle and fled on foot. “The third is a 16-year-old juvenile that is holding the hand gun with a 30-round extended magazine clip,” King said. “The officer recognizes that a juvenile is coming out of the car with a gun. He yells ‘Gun!’ to alert his fellow officers and then he yells at the juvenile multiple times, ‘Stop! Put the gun down!’ as the juvenile flees eastbound from the scene.” The 16-year-old made it as far as the first residential yard on County Line Road just south of Ogden when he was tazed by an officer Three suspects, including an armed 16-year-old (bot- and taken into custody. tom right) fled from a Chrysler 300 after Hinsdale The juvenile and RaJohn Stewart, squad cars pinned it against the side of the build- 24, of the 100 block of Williamsburg ing at Continental Autosports, one of two Ogden Road, Country Club Hills, have Avenue dealerships burglarized early Monday morn- been charged with one count of ing.

The Hinsdale Township High School boys golf team won its first state championship 75 years ago Tuesday, May 18. Team members included Ben “Connie” Creed (from left), team captain Henry Heinly, Sam Stout, all of Hinsdale, and Walter Poswilko of Westmont. The team won every dual meet, along with the district and conference meets on the way to state title, according to Poswilko’s son, Thomas. Coach Russell Poppenhager led teams to two more state titles in 1954 and 1961. It would take more than a half century for the school to capture another golf state title (2012-13) — and then it would win seven in a row. (photo courtesy of Thomas [email protected] Poswilko)

Sarah Barclay and her family moved into the circa turn-of-the-century home at 433 E. Third St. in September of 2019. By this September, they hope their extensive renovation work will have become a memory and to be writing a new chapter in a house that has stood the test of time. “This was a long process,” Barclay said while standing on the handsome wraparound front porch that provides an elevated street view. “When you’re upstairs, you feel like you’re in a tree house,” she remarked.

It’s in-town living the way that you want it. Convenient, quiet and private. It’s so, so close to Stough Park, the West Hinsdale Metra station, Monroe School and downtown Hinsdale. Equally as impressive, this block is exceptionally quiet. Private/fenced back yard. Open floor plan. Extraordinarily bright lower level courtesy of oversized, south-facing windows. Off-street parking for a third car. Think fresh and clean. All in, it’s a great opportunity for a move-in ready experience.
