Reporter from Block Club Chicago Patrick Filbin joins Lisa Dent to talk about an oversight on the renovations of the Hamlin Park dog area in Roscoe Village. Due to the Park District replacing the original surface with one of asphalt and gravel, the combination would leave dogs that played there to go home with cut and bloodied paws. With already a limited amount of spaces for dogs to run without a leash, the fear of injury has caused some pet owners to abandon the area. The Park District says it is working in tandem with community members and the Hamlin Park Advisory Committee to find a solution to the problem.

Perry and Jason Moy, Father-Son owners of Plum Garden Restaurant, join Lisa Dent to share how this restaurant came to be in McHenry. Perry recounts the story of his mother, Connie, moving from China to the United States and working at the restaurants of various family members, all with the hope to make her mark and own a restaurant herself. This dream saw itself come true in 1965 when Connie took Perry and his siblings to McHenry where they were welcomed immediately with a restaurant to call there own, dubbing it the Plum Garden. Ownership has since passed to Perry in 1972 and later to his eldest son, Jason in 2018. As the newest owner, Jason plans to maintain the connection between past and present that Plum Garden represents. While bringing the restaurant into the newer age, he wants to keep the love Plum Garden exudes for McHenry as well as his grandmother’s wish to give back to the community that embraced them.

Retail shop owner and retail incubator graduate of the Riverwalk Shoppes Carol Chrisman joins Lisa Dent to spotlight both of her businesses and how they contribute to the personality and history of McHenry. Together, they discuss the incubator’s process of allowing business owners to set up a temporary shop along the Riverwalk and test selling their products to the city’s market while, at the same time, gaining more business acumen. If the business is showing signs of success, they’re encouraged to open a full shop in McHenry. This graduation process not only allowed Carol to open the women’s clothing store, Black Orchid Boutique, but allowed her to revitalize her skateboard shop that closed in 2011, The Trend Cellar. After explaining the history of the original Trend Cellar, Carol highlights some of the other businesses people should visit when they explore McHenry.

This 6-month long, victim-led task force has given women the opportunity to be heard in a world that continues to revictimize them, whether it be former partners or the courts themselves. The information in the report will be used to help create actionable policy and mitigate wait times for victims of domestic violence to receive social and legal resources.
CORRECTION: While domestic violence court has court reporters, domestic relations court does not unless a victim pays for it.

Rep. Bill Foster, 11th District, joins Lisa Dent to discuss the government shutdown. Rep. Foster details how the resolution to the shutdown is centered around the cuts to healthcare spending in the ‘Big Beautiful Bill.’ However, House Speaker Mike Johnson, Rep.

Pat Brady, former chairman for the Illinois Republican Party, and a former federal and state prosecutor, joins Lisa Dent to discuss the presence of ICE agents at the Broadview ICE facility. Brady expresses that the news headlines are “getting more dramatic as the day goes on,” and that things are “spiraling out of control.” Trump called from the arrest of Illinois Governor JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson for their opposition to the National Guard being deployed. Governor Pritzker has suggested that President Trump’s deployment of the National Guard is due to dementia. Brady, citing local law enforcement, believes that ICE isn’t communicating effectively, and questions whether or not the presence of ICE is just for political show.

Rep. Mike Quigley, 5th District, joins Lisa Dent to discuss the effect the government shutdown, and ICE raids have had on his district. When asked about his possible candidacy for Chicago’s 2027 mayoral election, Rep. Quigley did not rule out the possibility of him being interested in being a part of Chicago’s future.

Congressman Sean Casten, 6th District, joins Lisa Dent to discuss the government shutdown. Rep. Casten was sworn in as a representative during the first Trump administration while the government was in the longest shutdown in history. Rep. Casten notes that, despite the knowledge that the government was on a September 30th fiscal deadline, neither the Senate nor the House of Representatives have passed any of the twelve appropriation bills required to fund the government. Instead, Rep. Casten explains, “[Congress] prioritized a bill that gave massive tax cuts to billionaires and took 14 million Americans’ health insurance away.” Rep. Casten expresses that regardless of which party someone is, these actions are, “irresponsible.”

Karen Conti, Partner at Conti & Dolan, LLC, joins Lisa Dent to discuss the state of Illinois and the city of Chicago suing the Trump administration to block the deployment of the National Guard to the state of Illinois. An executive order signed by Mayor Johnson bars federal immigration agents and others from using city-owned property. The state of Illinois filed a lawsuit in attempt to stop the deployment of the National Guard on orders from the White House. Conti expresses that there are “strong” laws preventing the federalization of the National Guard, citing the 10th amendment. Earlier Monday, an Oregon judge blocked the deployment the National Guard to the state of Oregon. The judge and state officials expressed that “there is no need for military intervention in Oregon.” While the ruling by the Oregon judge has no legal precedence in Illinois, Conti explains, the courts in Illinois will read the opinion given in Oregon and are likely to lockstep with the ruling in Oregon.

Jim Chilsen, Communications Director of the Citizens Utility Board, joins Lisa Dent to discuss how data centers have contributed to the continued rise in electricity bills in Illinois. Chilsen notes that electricity bills have not just increased for residents of a city like Aurora, which has 51 data centers. But households across the region have seen a 50 percent increase in the cost of electricity. The price increase, Chilsen explains, is largely due to an increase in energy demand brought on by data centers. He suggests that the solution to the rising prices and energy demand is through policy, not only on a local level, but state legislators are needed to hold the data centers accountable for their energy requirements.

Dr. Alycia Halladay, Chief Science Officer of the Autism Science Foundation, joins Lisa Dent to discuss whether women taking Tylenol during pregnancy leads to an increased risk of autism.

Adler Planetarium Director of Public Observing Michelle Nichols, joins Lisa Dent to talk about a rare green comet passing Earth this week. The comet was last seen during the Stone Age. How to spot the comet:
- Binocs/small telescope are required.
- Go outside. Face directly north. Use your phone’s compass if you need to find north.
- Look about halfway up in the sky to the north. Look for a medium-brightness star. That’s the North Star.
- Point your binocs/small scope about ten degrees away from Polaris – specifically a little up & to the right. If you aren’t sure how far about 10 degrees is, hold your clenched fist out at arm’s length. Put one end of your fist at the North Star. The other end of your fist is about 10 degrees away.
- Look for something faintly fuzzy. That’ll be the comet.

Attempted bribery charges have been made in the race for Chicago Mayor.
A volunteer for candidate Ja’Mal Green released a recording showing Ricky Hendon, an aide to candidate Willie Wilson, offering another Green aide a bribe in exchange for an end to the challenge of Wilson’s nominating petitions.
Neither side denies the attempted bribe took place.
The Green campaign called it appalling but also said it takes discretion seriously and was surprised the video was leaked.
Willie Wilson refused to say he would part ways with Hendon. He made his case on WGN Radio.
