Editorial urges state lawmakers to amend the convention authority bill to grant Tinley Park a stronger say in the future hotel and 40000 square foot center at Interstate 80 and Harlem Avenue.

Freshman state Representative Mike Giglio of Lansing intervened in the Illinois House Public Safety Appropriations Committee to stop Charles Morrow from attaching an amendment that would cap Peotone airport spending at 8.7 million dollars next year. The move aimed to influence Gov Jim Edgar and Secretary George Ryan’s plan to invest 20 million for land buy and a 300 million program to advance a Peotone airport, amid opposition from Chicago officials led by Mayor Richard Daley.
Mokena will continue offering Drug Awareness Resistance Education through the Police Department despite a nationwide survey questioning its effectiveness. Cmdr. Chris Surdel calls the report offensive, arguing a single kid saying no to drugs justifies the program. Mayor Robert Chistar supports maintaining DARE though not guaranteeing drug prevention. The village urges local review while keeping the program in place.
Dennis R Wheeler recalls a four day San Francisco visit with wife Annie, son Grady, and Gregg and Sharon on Ortega Street. They describe city views from a hilltop living room, neighborhoods from Haight Ashbury to Chinatown, a famous Lombard Street ride, and a Alcatraz visit with a Park Service speaker. The piece ends with a desire to return and an email contact.
