Jim VanBladel, an automotive teacher from Hersey High School in Arlington Heights, was named a winner of the 2022 Harbor Freight Tools for Schools Prize for Teaching Excellence, winning $15,000 for himself and $35,000 for his school program.
For the first time, the Chicago Bears confirmed Tuesday that the stadium the team is considering building in Arlington Heights would be domed but the team also called for taxpayer funding of a portion of the project.
