There are many small things, including several battery changes, you may not have thought about when it comes to garage door maintenance. Lubrication is absolutely necessary for devices like this that operate every day.
I’ve been a caregiver for over 30 years, and I’m now ready to retire and must get something off my chest. I mainly work with people who have mental problems such as Alzheimer’s, depression, bipolar, etc. Why do people treat mentally ill people differently from people that are ill from many other illnesses?
Letters for the week of March 22.
In a fast-growing village, few things wear out faster than the water and waste water systems. The village has about the same water infrastructure that it had back in 1999. In the past 18-plus years, Huntley’s rates have increased very little. When Sun City opened in 1999, the village’s population was less than 3,000. Today, it is about 26,700.

When Sun City resident June Brock remembers her son Scott, words that come to mind are perseverance and determination. In 1982, Scott Hager, the second-born of June’s four children, suffered a diving accident at the age of 21. Just six years later, Scott qualified for the 1988 Summer Paralympic Games in Seoul, Korea, earning a bronze medal in the butterfly stroke. He won numerous other medals as a wheelchair athlete, mostly in swimming, at competitions all over the world, and continued to be an inspiration to many until his death at age 55 in 2016.

It took many years to create, but on February 28, the court-conversion agreement between Sun City’s Pickleball and Tennis clubs finally became a reality.
Just after dinner this Valentine’s Day, while we were in our Florida home, my wife caught my attention as I was washing the dishes. She beamed a beatific smile, flashing me a thumbs-up from her wheelchair. Because she was robbed of speech eight years ago by a pair of severe strokes, there is no way to know exactly what she meant by it. It might have been: “Thanks for cooking my favorite meal tonight.” Or it might have been: “What fun we’ve had over these past few days.” Or it might have been: “I love you so much it almost hurts.” It might even have been her approval of the little solar-powered dancing flower I gave her at breakfast that Valentine’s Day morning, the kind of tiny gesture we both treasure far above grand displays of love.

Wall Street Journal (WSJ) in their January 2, 2018 publication informs us to stop counting calories because it is the clock that counts. Written by WSJ’s Life & Arts Department author, Sumathi Reddy, the article discusses Time-Restricted Feeding (TRF). This strategy is increasingly being studied in a multitude of trials. Researchers are hoping that it will be used as a tool for diabetes prevention, weight-loss, and even longevity.
Believe it or not, Nancy has a real job. She is a travel agent, and years ago she won a river cruise for two through Bavaria with a German cruise line. Out of 80 passengers, only 10 spoke English. As we were sailing along, our cruise director would point out various landmarks and give a five minute dissertation in German. He would then point and say to us in English, “there it is.” While showing her clients some photos of our trip, she developed a taste for German food. We remembered seeing the Bavarian Lodge in Lisle and decided now would be a good time to review this restaurant.
Minor repairs anyone can do.
My mom had a fall recently and broke her arm. It sounds like a fairly innocent incident, but since then she has never been the same. She went through physical therapy and healed well but now, she has anxiety and battles depression. Her anxiety keeps her from engaging in life with joy. She is aware of this struggle, and my father and I are at a loss as to how to help her. How can we be a positive source to her?
If you’re a movie fan you have your list of favorites, and most likely some or all of them contain unforgettable moments, which may endure long after the details of the movie have escaped your mind. Below I’ve listed a few of mine, although there is not enough space in the Sun Day News for all of them. If you have a favorite moment or two, email them to me at the address below. I’ll be anxious to hear.

One of my favorite parts of the day begins at 5:15 a.m. That’s when I like to wake up. After feeding my cats and speeding through my scientifically cultivated morning routine, I grab my laptop and head out the door, still not completely removed from the night’s dream state.

I’m going to be honest: I’m getting sick and tired of having to change the Sun Day’s masthead to memorialize another tragedy. Not that I don’t want to memorialize the victims of tragedy but that there’s a tragedy out there to begin with. I’m sick of it!
It’s on Facebook – so it must be true. “I found out the news from my daughter. She called me and congratulated me for being selected for the Chicago 16-Inch Softball Hall of Fame (HOF) – she saw it on Facebook,” said Glenn Groebli.

There always seems to be something big, significant and creative going on in Huntley Community School District 158. If it isn’t a nearly $40 million expansion of Huntley High School, it’s blended learning for high school students, specialized medical education programs in association with a major area hospital, or helping students achieve record-high standardized test scores.
Each week, the Huntley Police Department compiles a list of all serious criminal incidents that occur in the village. Copies of these public reports are distributed to Sun City’s Neighborhood Watch groups and neighborhood reps, and the Sun Day.
The Wall Street Journal’s 2018 book review of WHEN: THE SCIENTIFIC SECRETS OF PERFECT TIMING, authored by Daniel H. Pink, reveals fascinating statistics ranging from medicine to economics. Reviewed by Emily Bobrow, the book gives us all sorts of data on science.
“The rain in Spain falls mainly on the …” well, you know the story and the rest of the line so we’ll move on to outline the trip to Spain and Portugal, with a side venture to Morocco, enjoyed by Grant and Linda, N-24.
Blame it on the Christmas season — and then the long, dark winter nights in the weeks that follow — but I always get a bit nostalgic about those great days of my childhood.
A “hotline” phone number has been created for dissemination of important information such as Attached Product Neighborhood (APN) snow removal services and cancellation of outdoor events due to unfavorable weather conditions.
One of the Woodchucks had a problem with the light bulb in his garage door opener. He was able to diagnose the problem and repair it. Here is his solution.
If any of you have seen Jim walking around Del Webb lately, he looks like Chester from the old Gunsmoke TV show. He’s been limping along for the past year, but his time is running out. Today is his last visit when the doctor can use his knee like a Voo Doo doll and sticks needles in it with various drugs to stop the pain.
My aunt lives in an assisted living community, but we learned she cannot continue living there because she will be running out of money. What options does she have?
As I commented in my last column, we are in the “death valley” days of new movie releases. Last weekend there were two new films out, one was Black Panther, the newest super-hero on the scene. Despite plenty of accolades from the highly paid professional movie critics, this was not my cup of tea, and (I could be wrong) probably not for most of the Sun Day News readers either. The other was Samson, a remake of the biblical story. After seeing the trailers on TV, I’m not sure anyone would pay to see it, certainly not me.
