I have always been passionate about gardening. I love the smell of dirt and the first sprouts of the season. As I’m getting older, though, I’m finding my passion to be more of a burden.
Well, that was an interesting awards show, wasn’t it?
“The Natives are Restless” wrote H. G. Wells in 1933 for ‘The Island of Doctor Moreau.’ The same could be true today of the residents of Sun City in reaction to the Sun City Board of Directors vote on the future of the Kane County polling site in the Prairie Lodge.
The Prairie Lodge at Sun City has been used as a polling place since the early 2000’s. In accordance with the community’s governing documents signage and electioneering had always been prohibited onsite.
If you’ve done any traveling in your life, you see that folks do things differently in other lands. Some of the difference seems interesting and fun, but there are also differences that make you glad to skip back home, where folks do things “right” again. “What are those people thinking?” you think. “How can anybody behave like that and think it’s OK?”
A prescription for good health starts with an ability to move your body. Whether you move your body at the fitness centers of Prairie Lodge or Meadowview Lodge in Sun City Huntley, or outside in your neighborhood is your choice. A combination of exercise options can offer a good variety of healthy choices. What may complicate these choices are restrictions from COVID-19, the sidewalk repair program, and winter weather.

My first article on this topic leaves us questioning “If herd immunity is out of reach, does that mean we’re doomed?” Our Wall Street Journal (WSJ) medical authors (Larry Brilliant, W. Ian Lipkin, Lisa Danzig, and Karen Pak Oppenheimer) all answer this question with a resounding “Not at all.”

April has begun; meaning spring showers, love and the start of the blockbuster movie season. I know…I know, it feels too early for that. Can’t we wait for May? With studios getting more anxious, each one sits poised at the starting gate. Executives are eyeing down the track like jockeys ready to bolt with their prize ponies. Theaters are starting to open up more to the possibility of a better summer, although streaming is still on the rise.
Vacations tend to always be something of a chore: airline tickets, hotel reservations, car rental, then getting and packing the right clothes. BUT when there is an epidemic raging across the globe, a large number of other factors come into play.
My mom is in her early 70s and has been living with Parkinson’s for about four years. Her symptoms have progressed from the mild stage to the more moderate stage. I’ve noticed her shuffling more, and her movements have definitely slowed.
Nancy is what some people might call frugal. I prefer to call her cheap. Of course, this frugality does not apply to jewelry, but I digress. She is on every retailer’s mailing list, and gets hundreds of emails a day with money saving deals, whether we need it or not, if it’s a deal, she purchases it. This strategy has undoubtedly saved me millions of dollars over the years, at least in her way of thinking.
Last night during dinner I excitedly told my husband about an event that I had recently learned about. I thought it would be something fun for us to do together. He looked at me quizzically “What did you say?” I replied “There is a Tulip festival in Spring Grove! We should go on Sunday, it sounds so fun!” Dejectedly he replied “Oh, I thought you said Tool Festival, something I might enjoy.”
Letters for the week of April 22.
Eager residents have probably kept up to date with each new photo the Huntley Area Public Library (HAPL) posts on their Facebook page regarding the new additions to the library. As of March 15, the library has been closed in order to prepare the old building for phase two which will involve some renovations.
Several years ago, I was invited to speak to Huntley High School journalism students. While I’m fairly decent at public speaking, I’m not very good at talking to students because I’m pretty sure I tell students things about myself teachers really wish I didn’t, like how I (a professional journalist and newspaper owner…of all things) only took one journalism class in my entire life and never graduated college let alone with a degree in journalism. My entire education in news was done on the job.
Grief is a simple word used to sum up a not-so-simple experience. It is as unique as the individual experiencing it. Dealing with the emotions and stress that come with loss can be the most trying thing an individual will ever experience. That’s where Sun City’s Grief Support Group comes in.

In her March 24 Management report to the SCCAH Board, Executive Director Deanna Loughran delivered news that Charter Clubs and residents have wanted to hear.
Ask anyone who knows me, and they’ll tell you that when it comes to being medicated, I’m nearly a virgin. I pretty much stopped getting vaccines as soon as Mom couldn’t spank me for refusing to get one. I take no prescriptions, and I resist the temptation to pop a Tylenol or aspirin when my back aches or my head starts pounding. I find that Irish whiskey is the cure for (and probably cause of) most of my ailments.
In its March 27 publication, the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) presented “Herd Immunity Won’t Save Us – But We Can Still Beat Covid-19.” The all-encompassing article was written by medical officers and immunology experts: Larry Brilliant, W. Ian Lipkin, Lisa Danzig, and Karen Pak Oppenheimer. The authors dismiss the fact that “herd immunity” would be an easy plateau to reach.
