So Much Going On

There is change in the air. Spring came early, then winced back to late winter; luckily no snow or ice!

But warmth is coming back, trees are leafing out, so are bushes and lilies and so many flowers. Lawns are green and filling in bare spots. Streets have been washed free of winter’s salt by plentiful spring rains. Mother Nature is ready for full spring and early summer.

In the very near future, the Food and Drug Administration may approve over-the-counter sale of rapid HIV-tests. This would be the first significant change in either policy or technology in the fight against HIV since the introduction of effective treatments more than 15 years ago.

Election Day Cowardice

Written by Pam Gallagher
Tuesday evening, March 20, after completing a long tiring day as a democratic election judge from 5:00 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. at Johnson School, I walked out to my car in the parking lot and sadly discovered two 1.5" x 3" business cards left on the right and left door windows of my vehicle with the Obama campaign logo and the printed words: "Hi, I saw your Obama sticker and I want to thank you for letting the village know who the idiot is."

Wrongful Dirt Removal

Written by Michael Hoffmann

The thorium cleanup along the West Branch of the DuPage River reached my property last fall. I was hesitant to let around a dozen beautiful trees be taken out, but I believed in the greater good of removing thorium from this area, including my property.
