Recreation in the South Suburbs Expands With Parks and Clubs
South suburban districts grow activity year round with forest preserves and park districts offering trails, dog sleds, horseback riding, tennis, softball, and youth programs. Forest preserves report rising use. Will County runs Goodenow events while local districts advertise hundreds of programs and leagues for all ages across Park Forest, Frankfort Square, Orland Park, and surrounding communities.

Politically motivated layoffs hit state dealer division
Secretary of State James Edgar, a Republican, eliminated the Dealer Contact division staffed largely by Democrats. Notices told 24 workers not to report after November 9 with paid leave through the 30th. Democrats claim civil rights violations while Edgar’s spokeswoman cites efficiency. Some tasks shift to a Bank Sales division expanding to about 30 new employees.
