Silver Cross Sleep Disorders Center Offers Relief to Sleepless Nights.
For over two decades every night 63 year-old Darrell Holmquist’s sleep was always interrupted. His road to a restful sleep was discovered in an unusual way because Darrell wasn’t overweight, didn’t smoke or over indulge in alcohol, which are many of the common causes to sleepless nights.

Mayor Tim Baldermann is once more supporting a boycott of gas stations in New Lenox. "They're gouging," he said.
Mayor Tim Baldermann is calling for a total boycott of the seven gas stations in New Lenox because they're price "gouging."
