February 15, 2023Dear editor; Even as the world may be going to hell in a hand basket, as Grandma used to say, and at the risk of sounding frivolous, millions of Americans will share at least a temporary respite March 30 when Major League Baseball’s Opening Day takes place across...
By Mary Goetsch, Aurora, Ill. I wish to correct virus misinformation which arose from popular periodicals published in Winter 2020. I am not the only one who believed that SARS-Cov-2 is from retrovirus. To set the record straight, SARS-Cov-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19, is a single-strand, positive-sense RNA virus....

January 1, 2023Dear editor; I feel that it’s not right that the HOA (Homeowners Association) in Plano’s Lakewood Springs doesn’t allow six-foot fences on our property. Four feet won’t prevent my dog from jumping over. It doesn’t give me privacy, either. We can’t have a painted fence. It has to...
December 28, 2022Dear editor; I appreciate the John and Nisha Whiteheads’ effort to warn of the “undermining” of the U.S. Constitution by Congress, the White House, and the courts. However, the Whiteheads’ commentary lacks real substance behind exaggerated, inflammatory, and at times, dubious rhetoric. They state: “We are in the...
By Bill “Bela” Suhayda In response to Vince Smith’s letter in The Voice December 22, 2022, Focus: True science, research. As director of NIAID, Dr. Anthony Fauci dispenses $6.1 Billion in annual taxpayer funding for scientific research, allowing him to control the subject, content, and outcome of scientific exploration across...
November 2, 2022Dear editor; This is in response to “First Amendment, Bill of Rights Key to Democracy” by John and Nisha Whitehead in The Voice October 13. The Whiteheads’ commentary is a meandering, somewhat paranoid anti-government diatribe with a paucity of factual reasoning. Most troubling to me is the apparent...
November 14, 2022Dear editor; Well, it’s official. The Illinois Republican Party is now irrelevant at the State level. They have worked mightily to get here. The GOP has lost every Illinois House and Senate election since 2002 and the governorship for all but four years during the same time period,...
October 21, 2022Dear editor; In addition to my enjoying the spirited political bantering that often goes on in this fine publication, I appreciate the opportunity to test my recall of a few facts in each week’s Trivia Test. I take pride in being usually able to come up with at...
By Mary Goetsch, Aurora, Ill. I am dismayed over the Aurora City Council’s vote to subsidize the Hollywood Casino move.

October 22, 2022Dear editor; What a crock of baloney! I am surprised you published this anti- police hatchet job (John and Nisha Whitehead’s column in the October 20, 2022 edition of The Voice). Police have enough problems keeping the public trust and support. This is totally false crap! I know...
October 20, 2022Dear editor: In their column October 18 in The Voice, “Drivers Must Know Their Rights When Stopped By Police.” John and Nisha Whitehead called this country, “the America police state.” Although they began by saying that they were not “disrespecting…lawful police officers,” they proceeded to characterize our entire...
By Bela “Bill” Suhayda “Freedom is never more than a generation away from extinction, ” said Ronald Reagan in a speech on January 6, 1967. It seems to me that buffer generation is about to leave the station. But as that train leaves the station, we have a midterm election...

By Bela “Bill” SuhaydaSugar Grove, Ill. “Ten years ago today Al Gore said the world would come to an end because of Climate Change.” The above headline of an article was written by Andre Walker and published January 27, 2016. To my knowledge, the world didn’t come to an end...
