Meet the Village of Huntley Trustee candidates

Consolidated elections for the three seats on the Village of Huntley Board of Trustees are coming up on April 6. My Huntley News asked the five trustee candidates a few questions ranging from topics in economic development to finances in the Village of Huntley.

First case of COVID-19 U.K. variant identified in McHenry County

The McHenry County Department of Health is announcing that it has identified its first case of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) variant B.1.1.7, known as the U.K. variant, in McHenry County.

Funny … and not funny

Humor is subjective. What may be funny to one person may not be remotely funny to another. So I have puzzled on how to suggest comedies. But then it came to me. What if I pared down the type of comedies and cater them to the specific viewer? Again, I cannot stress enough that all may not agree with me and that is ok. So here we go…

Sun City residents continue to roll up their sleeves

Residents of Sun City definitely took notice when an email blast from the First Service Residential (FSR) management team arrived, informing residents of the news many had been waiting months to hear.

Like Eve, I took a bite out of an Apple and everything went to Hell

Given the resounding oddities in my life, like how my birthday and my wedding anniversary are the same day or how there’s always a cardboard box laying around our house like a straggler from a move (though we’re going on nine years here) or even at the Sun Day how we celebrate odd-year anniversaries rather than the primary even ones (10 years? What’s so special about that? Let’s have a bash for 11!), it makes complete sense that I have a Mac computer but am running Windows on it.

See you in the club-and-cudgel aisle

A few days after a riotous mob was stirred to violent, deadly insurrection by Trump’s lies about a stolen election — with absolutely no evidence in support except his deceptive words — I found myself walking past the sporting goods department in Walmart. The shelves behind the counter were bare.

“I didn’t know you sold toilet paper in sporting goods,” I joked to the cashier.

“We don’t,” she said. “That’s the ammunition shelves.”

The ‘EYES’ have it

Nancy has been giving me dirty looks and the old “stink eye” for over 46 years and it finally caught up to her. She finally wore her eyes out and as a result, we have been running weekly to the ophthalmologist for over a month. The first treatment was getting her eyes zapped with a laser.

You’ve got snail mail

A few weeks ago, I reached out to an old friend over text. I asked her how she was and told her to update me on her life. The pandemic has made it both easier to reach out (we’re lonely, we want connection) and harder (we’re stuck in our little COVID routines and small circles of people).

Yet, even after a while, she still hadn’t replied.

Huntley High School seeks pen pals for medical academy

Yes, Huntley High School has a Medical Academy. We have over 20 classes the students can take while they are in high school that have a medical theme. We also require students to do volunteer hours and job shadows. However, with this pandemic we have had to do some creative out of the box thinking …
