Burton the Yorkshire Terrier has been in a casino, crowded elevators, stores and fitting rooms, bathrooms, and airports. But this week, Burton will survive a tornado, travel to Oz, and help Dorothy Gale get back to Kansas when he takes center stage as “Toto,” Dorothy’s beloved dog in the Sun City Theatre Company’s production of “The Wizard of Oz.”
I’ll start by saying I don’t have a fondness for sports.
This might seem blasphemous with the Cubs’ World Series victory still lingering in everyone’s headlines and hearts. But wait, it gets better.
America’s most contentious and personal presidential election campaign climaxed with a surprising result on November 8, and it isn’t over yet.
Maintenance and repair activities, both interior and exterior, continue to keep Sun City’s officials very busy.
What a past week this has been (November 2 through November 8)! With two exciting news media results, I would like to discuss the one dearest to sports fans here in the Chicago area: our Cubbies’ World Series Victory!

When a century-old curse finally gets lifted, it’s hard not to look for whatever other curse might be lurking beneath. At least, that’s what a die-hard Cubs fan does.
We went to the consumer expo on October 27 and spoke with several vendors who supply services like those we talk about in this column. These people are out there every day seeing the things people need repaired or replaced so they could give us a fresh perspective.
This is another book I sought after hearing the NY Times best-selling author interviewed on WGN radio. He spoke about the creation of the first Japanese transistor radio which led to the Sony Corporation.
On the afternoon of December 8, five Sun City residents will open their homes and hearts to us. They will share with us the beauty of their homes, their holiday traditions, and the giving spirit that is so very present this time of year through the Sun Flower Garden Club’s 7th Annual Holiday House Walk.
Shame on us. Woow Sushi in Algonquin opened its doors in 2013 and even though he repeatedly drove past it, Jim being the moron that he is, never gave it a second thought. It was only after repeated recommendations that he came up with the brilliant idea to check it out. Welcome to my world…
This is science fiction at its best. The movie is adapted from “Story of your Life,” by Ted Chiang. Screenwriter Eric Heisserer should, and probably will be, lauded for his screen adaptation.
My wife has been diagnosed with cancer and I am devastated. We both are. My worry is that she does everything at home. The cooking, cleaning, etc. Where do I start?
Although the presidential election is a national event, what are folks saying closer to home? According to Sun City residents who were anonymously interviewed, the local opinions reveal unsurprisingly diverse views.

As has been the case since roughly February 2015, it’s an election year. But not just any election year! This is the most important election in the history of the country [since 2012, anyway], and the stakes will never be higher [until 2020]. It’s a showdown between the candidate who singlehandedly can save the country and the candidate who will lead us to levels of ruin not seen since [insert name of the last President you didn’t vote for] was in office, and everybody is talking about it.
You’ll know you’re not in Kansas anymore when the Theatre Company of Sun City performs “The Wizard of Oz” later this month.
At long last the question has been asked and answered: Is 2016 the year that the Cubs break the curse and win the World Series?
Biscuits, grits, and gravy. What more would you expect from a trip to Savannah, GA? Well, actually a lot more. Mike and Addie, Neighborhood 17, recently returned from a trip to Savannah and had a lot to report; and yes, the food was great as well as other sights along the way.
This Honor Flight was one of the most emotional events in my life. It was well-organized from beginning to end. All the volunteers were top notch. They took time off work to make sure we had a great flight. I did have a great flight due to these heroes. I do appreciate and thank them all.
Sun Citians should ALL be aware of the benefits of regular exercise and physical activity: improved mobility, stamina and independence, improved mental health, reduced cholesterol and blood pressure levels, increased bone health, and reduced risk of falls.
Our “station” in life is to be the best restaurant critics for you, our loyal readers. We “engineer” our articles and try to keep them “on track” even if we have to “blow the whistle” on some of the restaurants. Our “next stop” will be the Cary “depot” and the Tracks Bar and Grill.
Today’s tip is one that could save you tens of thousands of dollars, and many people are not aware of this potential hazard. It involves your washing machine.
This is a book I went looking for because my brother and I stopped in Winterset, IA on our recent road trip to see the birthplace of THE DUKE.
Author Dan Brown has written dozens of books, most of them international best sellers. Probably his most famous was The Da Vinci Code, the first in a series of four novels that includes historical themes and Christianity as motifs, some of them generating controversy.
While it has been wonderful to be able to spend so much time in our living rooms watching the World Series, there is quite a bit that should be done outside this time of the year.
It is very difficult to keep track of my medication. Every now and then, my doctor changes my medications and I have trouble trying to keep it all in order. How can I manage all my prescriptions easily?
Letters for the week of November 3, 2016.
You’ve heard the well-known mantra of a famous American military branch – “Once a Marine, Always a Marine.” It’s almost as prominent as “Semper Fi.” One of the best examples of this legendary tradition is right here in Sun City, and she is still living it, at the age of 93. She started her journey in the Corps in 1943, and it reached an exciting climax in 2016, this past August.
