Weather forecast:
• Student Spotlight: Zaina Ahmed (midwestern.edu) — A Midwestern University speech-language pathology student with a BBA from Benedictine University in Lisle shares how volunteering in clinics and special education settings led her from pre-law to healthcare. She describes valuing communication, supportive faculty, and a close-knit program that feels like family as she prepares for a career helping people find their voices.
• $292 paid per household in property taxes for Orland Hills local funds in 2024 (southcooknews.com) — Lisle households paid an average of $13,382 in 2024 property taxes toward local police and fire pensions, one of the highest per-household burdens in Illinois. A new statewide analysis shows many municipalities, including Lisle, are carrying large unfunded pension liabilities, meaning today’s residents are helping cover decades of promised benefits through their tax bills.
• Marla (Burkhart) Clausen (1430wcmy.com) — Lisle is noted as the place where Marla Clausen married her husband Ray in 1982, a meaningful detail in the life of this longtime area resident. Friends and family can honor her at services in Ottawa on Friday, June 5, with visitation beforehand and burial at Fox River Cemetery.
