Clare Schellerer knows United States National Champion Pairs Figure Skater Alexa Scimeca better than one might think. That’s because Scimeca, who will represent the United States at the 2018 Winter Olympics, is Schellerer’s granddaughter.
I’ve come to realization that living with a one year old is like living with The Three Stooges. Just the other day, my son knocked over my coffee (sending the coffee onto my keyboard and under my monitor), slammed my fingers in a desk drawer, and poked me in the eye. He did this literally consecutively, one hit after the other.
After 2018, maintenance and repair spending by the Sun City Community Association will wind down. This year will be the last one that involves major spending.
Wall Street Journal’s January 6-7, 2018 publication of “We Can Encourage Our Better Angels” is full of moral reminders that can aid in our very own promotion of helping others and doing the right thing morally to make this a better world.
“I can’t tell you how much we appreciate you being here,” said Scott Iddings, Leggee School Principal. Iddings explained just how much help is needed in the school. The tasks start at the beginning of the year, getting kindergarten students off the bus and into the classroom.” Sara Dubose, a kindergarten teacher, said of the volunteers, “You are true angels in the building.”

OK, I’ve made my New Year’s resolution. Oh, I know, New Year’s resolutions are supposed to start in the early hours of January when the year is still new. I can hear you smirking at me for taking this long to get around to it.

One summer day, a couple of years ago, Sun Citian Fred Dryden received a call from the Huntley Police Department. He was asked to assist police officers in a search for a missing elderly lady in the community. He also was asked to recruit some friends to assist him in the activity. He rounded up three friends and reported for “duty.”

Wimbledon in the winter? Tall Oaks Tennis Club hosts tennis socials during the winter months for members and prospective members to meet, play tennis, and of course, eat! Tennis socials are a great opportunity to swing away the pounds and crush your stress away and to meet new people through the game.

Here we go another time. Two years ago and then again last year I complained about the lack of decent new releases hitting the theaters this time of year. Perhaps a columnist from the Los Angeles Times described it best, “For decades, spring was largely considered a kind of dead zone in Hollywood’s release calendar, an island of cinematic misfit toys lacking a coherent identity or much inherent appeal for film distributors. In everyone’s minds there’s the holiday season, there’s awards seasons, there’s the summer movie season – and then there’s spring.”
Jim’s arms were getting too short for him to read anything, and the adhesive tape wasn’t holding his broken glasses anymore, so off we went to Spring Hill Mall to remedy the situation. His vision was impaired with his old prescription eyeglasses, but isn’t it funny how he could spot a restaurant from a mile away??? The name piqued our interest, so we decided to try the Chubby Bullfrog Bar & Grill (next to Sears) in West Dundee.
The Theatre Company of Sun City announces their Scholarship Program is now open for 2018. The company decided it would again dedicate a portion of their budget to a scholarship fund directed towards helping young people, grades K through 12. One of the requirements is that be a relative of a Sun City resident. Equal consideration is given to all students who apply.

Music therapy sessions are helping people with Parkinson’s disease, but how? Music, particularly rhythm, can become a template for organizing a series of movements.

In ancient Babylon, the citizens used to view January first as a day to make promises to their gods, agreeing to pay off their debts and return what they had borrowed throughout the year. In Rome, around the time of 46 B.C., the Romans recognized January as a time to provide scarifies to their gods and vow to behave better in the upcoming year. In 1740 England, clergyman John Wesley led Christians to welcome the new year with focus and prayer.
Almost a year since the car-house accident, the Donald Helfer case was finally resolved on January 11.
A group of Sun City residents and the community’s board of directors got a good reminder on January 10 why there are always an odd number of members on a governing board.
Without trying to be too redundant, I would like to follow-up on Christine Such’s January 11 column on New Year’s Resolutions.
Another Christmas has come and gone, with not a single lump of coal at the bottom of my Christmas stocking! To be honest, that may or may not be a testament to my good-boy status over the past year, because I don’t know where Santa would find a lump of coal these days, even if he felt my behavior warranted it. Does Amazon deliver coal to the North Pole?

Are Your Windows Closed? Are You Sure?
It was a cold, dreary, Sunday morning. Cabin fever was rearing its ugly rear. Nancy was staring blindly at the computer screen when she noticed a Groupon coupon for a new brunch restaurant. I was staring at the TV screen sucking down my first cup of coffee when she yelled, “Breakfast is ready!” We bundled ourselves up, jumped into the Dining Duo Mini-Mobile, which now resembles a block of salt, and headed for Southern Belles Pancake House in Carpentersville.
My siblings and I take turns bringing our mother to her doctor visits. We seem to have a handle on the appointments, but when it comes to keeping records, we often have details that fall through the cracks. This leaves us feeling frustrated. How can we manage her doctor visits, so we are all on the same page?
No one reading this can forget where they were or what they were doing when 9/11 hit. It was like a bullet between the eyes for all of us. On the other hand, few if any of us remember the date October 16, 2001, the date when the first combat teams from our military began the fight in Afghanistan. This is the true story of a group of twelve Special Forces warriors who began the fight and paved the way for the rest of our troops.

The Train Club in Sun City Huntley is pleased to announce the winners of this years Holiday Train raffle.
Jack Wirth was 12 years old on November 16, 1952, when he attended his first professional football game at Wrigley Field in Chicago. The Los Angeles Rams, then a dominant professional team in pro football, beat the Chicago Bears, 40-24. Little did Jack know, however, that the event would shape his life, launch his career, and determine all of his future endeavors.

If you’re anything like my father, what I’m about to say will put a chill into you: From the age of 22 to 37 my wife and I didn’t have health insurance. And although a risk, I can honestly say it was the best money never spent. Granted, those were the carefree days of young adulthood where health concerns were of little worry, but ever since getting health insurance three years ago, I’ve never been more scared in my life that something will go wrong. And this is not a case of superstition. I’m not worried that now that I have health insurance I’ll get sick. I am worried, however, about dealing with health insurance.

One thing never changes in Huntley – and that’s the process of change. Put another way, if you thought 2017 was a banner year for expansion in the Village of Huntley, wait until you see what’s coming in 2018.
