Arlington Heights Teen Center supporters brought a top-ten list of money-raising ideas, but were unable to convince the village board Tuesday night to reverse its decision to close the center on April 30.

Eliminating the center's $378,000 yearly cost is a key element in village efforts to close a budget deficit originally projected at more than $8 million. Trustees had agreed, however, in December to delay the center's closing until the end of the village's fiscal year to give staff and supporters time to look for replacement funding.

Kathy Scortino, co-chairwoman of the Arlington Heights Youth Commission and a member of the ad hoc committee formed to investigate alternate funding, presented fundraising ideas including charging an entry fee and inserting donation requests into the local water bills. But she acknowledged that would still likely leave a gap of nearly six figures.

When she finally arrives at the bench, the woman sits down and listens to a song. It's a pensive moment, a quiet pause."

"It's not a game in the sense that there is a way to win or lose or a puzzle to solve, or even a story to unc...

A man given probation just two days ago for criminal damage to property died Tuesday night after plunging into the Chicago River while being chased by police for tagging a building.

Jason Kitchekeg, 26, of Mokena was one of three men being chased by officers for spray-painting a building on Ashland Avenue, police said.

Cops caught two of the men, but Kitchekeg jumped into the river near the 2800 block of South Ashland, officials said.

Aided by a helicopter, the police Marine Unit and Fire Department personnel worked for about 30 minutes to rescue the man after he was spotted at about 6:45 p.m. in the river near Bubbly Creek.

Firefighters pulled Kitchekeg from the water and he was rushed to Stroger Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 8:16 p.m., according to hospital spokesman Marcel Bright.

Court records show Kitchekeg had pleaded guilty several times to graffiti-related charges. On Monday, he was sentenced to one year of probatio...
