MY SUN DAY NEWS
As a homeowner, you know that house and property maintenance is one of your biggest challenges. The Sun City community association has the same problem, except on a much larger scale.
With winter’s shortened days of daylight and lengthened days of nightlight comes Seasonal Affective Disorder, a form of depression. Then what better occasion to overcome the “winter blahs” and begin or continue a lifetime of optimistic behavior than during the holiday season!
Last year, the Sun City Concert Band brought in over 500 people with their concert featuring their greatest hits from their last 10 years of practicing. However, much has changed since last year’s performance, according to the group president, Jerry McClellan.
Now that the holiday season is upon us, let the shopping begin. Woodfield Mall is considered by many to be the place to check off items from your naughty and nice list. To peruse the mall’s great expanse thoroughly you must keep up your strength, and we have just the place for you, P. F. Chang’s Bistro.
I left the theatre slightly confused. I had just seen a terrific ensemble deliver a number of Oscar worthy performances, a highly innovative story line with one surprise after another, and everyone around me was grumbling about how terrible the show was. It was the profanity, so prevalent it was like a nasty virus slowly killing its’ host, and by the end, despite the brilliance, you were glad it was over.
The past two years have been so exciting, and now that we’ve achieved our goal of becoming a Low-Power FM station, we look forward to a great future of continuing to serve our community. But with this additional service comes some additional expenses.
Can dementia be prevented? Have there been any new developments?
One of our five beautiful daughters once said to me, “Dad, the last check you write should bounce.” Needless to say that would be the epitome of perfect planning and, while I pride myself on being prepared, that would be stretching it a bit. However, it does serve as the perfect metaphor for the idea of organizing ahead for the expected, not the unexpected. Insurance is for the latter, personal planning for the former.
I miss seeing dogs. I don’t mean all those odd jumbles of animal parts that people generously call “dogs” these days—those canine collisions with cute labels like poopadoops or shitzadumps, animals that would never have been bred if the mash-up of their parents’ names didn’t sound so doggone cute.

I have a dresser that needs the top refinished. It is 76″ X 20″. Do we have someone here in our community that I could hire to do this work or could you refer a company that does this kind of work? I would truly appreciate it because there are few companies that do this kind of work today.
The Lions of Sun City – Huntley will hold their eleventh annual tradition of lighting up Del Webb neighborhoods with luminaries on Christmas Eve.
The next monthly meeting of the Huntley-Elgin area Ostomy Support Group will 2-3 p.m. Wednesday, December 10.
Ushering in the sounds of the season, the Sun City Prairie Singers are set to perform their annual holiday concert this December, complete with standard classics and new twists.
I was in my early 20s, working as a manager in a restaurant, when I first heard the concept “perceiving is believing” or said differently “perception is reality.” It was part of our management training booklet, in a section that discussed quality of service. Although the concept was new to me and had its appeal, I, forever the idealist, sort of rejected it because there’s always an impregnable truth.
So you don’t want to develop those annoying flu symptoms (fever, sore throat, muscle aches, cough, runny or stuffy nose) that can spread to family and acquaintances. I, myself, was almost too late to receive the long-term effectiveness of this season’s influenza immunization. But after a recent interview with Beth, one of our neighborhood Walgreen pharmacists, I was convinced.
A lot of local folks are asking, “How is the Huntley Outlet Center doing?” As they say in the famous song, “The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind.”
Variety is the spice of life – and soon it will be the spice of Sun City. MC Glamour, an energetic, two-woman variety act, will hit The Cosman Theater in Huntley this holiday season with its new show, “A Smile For Christmas.”
Author Washington Irving once said of Christmas that it is a “season for kindling the fire for hospitality in the hall, the genial flame of charity in the heart.” And on December 4, members of the Sunflower Garden Club of Sun City will do just that, as the group hosts its fifth annual Holiday House Walk from 3 to 7 p.m. and five Sun City residents open their doors to the anticipated 300 eventgoers.
Another break-in occurred in Sun City the second week of November. This time, the offenders took advantage of the fact that the house backed up to open space and allowed them lots of privacy.
Those elves are at it again! The Sun City Woodchucks are hard at work crafting toys to put under the tree. It may not be the North Pole (although the temperatures feel like it!), but the Woodshop is bustling with activity this holiday season.
I was not the only person grumbling on the way out of the theater after seeing this disappointing production. There is a lot of hullabaloo about this movie, the trailers presenting an exciting and potentially rewarding science fiction thriller, an opinion shared by many of the big-time movie critics. Don’t get your hopes too high.
We’re always trying to improve our broadcasting services, and we’ve just revised our daily programming schedule, gearing it to reflect all ages and interests. Beginning immediately, programming is now aligned as follows.
Could you please have a column on the yearly maintenance of water heaters? I have a Bradford White water heater that was installed by Pulte in 2006. I have been draining the tank for about 3 to 4 minutes each month. Should I drain the entire tank yearly, and if so, what is the proper way to do that?
This is the first of two reports on the Sun City community association’s 2015 financial activities, including the operating and reserve budgets.
NASCAR claims the second-largest viewing audience in America, right after pornography. And probably for the same reason: Sooner or later, somebody’s going to spin out and slam into the wall. I’ll never understand the appeal, because what’s the point of watching somebody on TV doing something you do every day?
After a busy Saturday morning running errands, Miss Nancy and Marshall Jim decided to mosey on over at high noon to a new local saloon for a shot of “Red Eye and Vittles.” This new watering hole is Niko’s Pointers Saloon in Marengo. It’s easy to find, just look for the nice rack of antlers on the shingle over the door.
This is the fifth column on building a Roadmap for your executor/heirs in the event you are incapacitated or no longer here. I encourage you to consider these kinds of preparations if you haven’t already.
Q: The news about frightening diseases scares me. Catching a simple cold can stop me in my tracks. There’s a lot of talk about Ebola, but I’ve not heard about precautions to take.
Attending the Sun City Art and Craft Faire is a highlight for my daughter Mary and I. We each thoroughly enjoy shopping for the upcoming holidays in this relaxing environment. Each of the gifts we purchase are handmade, reasonably priced, and absolutely beautiful.
