Good morning, Naperville.

Naperville Park District, the City, and local organizations are celebrating Earth Month Naperville through April 30 with events that include family exhibits at Knoch Knolls Nature Center, volunteer projects, and a community shredding event that took place on April 12 — upcoming events include the DuPage River Sweep on April 19, the 55th annual Earth Day and One Earth Film Festival starting on April 22, and several tree and plant sales with pre-orders open until April 16.

The Old Stone Church at 14 S.

Washington Street in downtown Naperville has been the home of the Naperville Woman’s Club for 100 years—hosting weddings, meetings, and community events. Built in 1899 and bought in 1925 for $3,500, the historic landmark has been carefully restored to keep its original Gothic style.

Today, visitors to Knoch Knolls Park on 336 Knoch Knolls Road in Naperville saw bluebell buds along the winding trails by the DuPage River and local wildlife including deer and bicyclists, though the blooms have not yet opened.

The bluebells are expected to bloom in about a week—covering the area for roughly three weeks.

State lawmakers on April 12 passed Senate Bill 42 by a vote of 33—20; the measure would stop officers from searching a car solely because of a cannabis smell when the driver or passengers are 21 or older and would require cannabis to be stored securely.

The House of Representatives will review the bill and Gov. Pritzker is expected to sign it before it becomes law.
