October 10, 2024Dear editor; When I moved to Kane County in 1965, the Fox River and many nearby creeks were so polluted, we were cautioned not to eat the fish. After significant efforts clean up water pollution, starting in the 1970s, the Fox River is much cleaner now. Few resources...
October 10, 2024Dear editor; As the election draws closer, we cannot ignore the growing impact of climate change on our communities. Hurricane Helene and now Hurricane Milton, along with dozens of wildfires this past summer, they’re all clear warning signs of a very real climate crisis. This issue deserves more...
September 20, 2024Dear editor; Donald Trump had four years to lead the United States and failed us by his own choosing. Whether it be in foreign policy or domestic policy, he did not protect the nation as commander in chief. Trump talks a lot but doesn’t say much other than...
Just when I thought it was safe to sit down and have a leisurely read of The Voice, what should assault my poor nearsighted eyes but a piece written by pseudo-contributor Bela “My Nose Keep Getting Longer” Suhayda. I took a Dramamine tablet and was able to read through his...
By John & Nisha Whitehead In a perfect example of the nanny state mindset at work, Hillary Clinton insists that the powers-that-be need “total control” in order to make the internet a safer place for users and protect us harm. Clinton is not alone in her distaste for unregulated, free...
October 2, 2024Dear editor; Hi Len, Judy here. I just read your Reader’s Voice article in The Voice October 3, responding to my Reader’s Voice September 19. My submission was written with words straight from my grandson’s heart wanting solutions to end gun violence in school. I’m proud of him...
October 7, 2024Dear editor; This is a response to Reader’s Voice, October 3, “…Good Versus Evil.” Mr. Len Wass’ opinion begins with a well-deserved accolade for an eighth-grade student’s September 19 Reader’s Voice describing the fear of gun violence he and his classmates endure each day at school. The young...
October 1, 2024Dear editor; November 5, we will have an opportunity to positively shape the future of our communities by supporting the Kane County Forest Preserve District’s Land Preservation and Preserve Improvement Referendum. Studies continue to show that natural areas such as forest preserves have a positive impact on property...
By Bela “Bill” Suhayda Alejandro Mayorkas, secretary of Homeland Security, three months ago, told Americans how well prepared FEMA has been for any emergency. Enter Hurricane Helene, one of the largest storms to hit the U.S. in recent history. Helene, a category 4 hurricane made landfall in Florida’s Big Bend...
September 25, 2024Dear editor; I found Ms Siedlecki’s letter in the September 19 issue very moving. In it she forwarded her eighth grade grandson’s letter citing his fears caused by school shootings in America. Such fears should never be allowed to surface in our wonderful nation. We veterans have fought...
September 20, 2024Dear editor; As I watched the presidential debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, my thoughts for most of the evening was she dominated him. Harris was very prepared and scripted all night. She was not the gift that just keeps on giving when she speaks without the...
For the third The Voice column I’m writing this month, it’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood. The sun is shining, the birds are singing, my Lumi deodorant is doing its advertised job, the stock market’s up, inflation, gas prices, Donald Trump’s poll numbers and the value of his Truth...
By Bela “Bill” Suhayda Thirty-nine days until election day and I learned there have been more than 400,000 criminal aliens who have entered our country through our southern border. Among these 400,000 criminal illegals, there are more than 15,000 who are convicted rapists and another 13,000 that have been convicted...
By John & Nisha Whitehead The government wants your money. It will beg, steal or borrow if necessary, but it wants your money any way it can get it. The government’s schemes to swindle, cheat, scam, and generally defraud taxpayers of their hard-earned dollars have run the gamut from wasteful...
September 22, 2024Dear editor; Why do immigrants come to the United States? They come to join their families, to work, and to seek safety and refuge from war, violence, and natural disasters. These reasons speak to the basic human needs of every living person: The need to be with the...
September 22, 2024Dear editor; Fake Electors are back in Key Swing States in 2024: Pennsylvania, 5; Michigan, 6; Nevada, 2; and New Mexico, 1. Electors in our antiquated Electoral College actually determine the presidential winner in our Federal elections. In 2020, legitimate electors represented the actual count in their state...
September 18, 2024Dear editor; I agree with Chris Lauzen that name-calling is “Junior High School,” but Mr. Lauzen’s letter in The Voice makes it sound as if only the Democrats are doing it. The Republicans have become the masters of name-calling. Donald Trump, the face of the modern Republican Party,...
By Bela “Bill” Suhayda I’ve been given a pseudonym by Charles Coddington. I am the “Gaslighter.” As much as I appreciate Coddinton’s new name for me, the problem remains, I like Wayne Johnson’s moniker better. He calls me “Wild Bill.” I think Wild Bill is a much better fit for...
Musings: •Can you say “President Kamala Harris,” dear reader? T. Rump can’t. He’s too concerned about his crowd sizes and immigrants eating cats and dogs. BS can’t. He’s too busy twisting his tongue into a pretzel, trying to convince himself that she doesn’t have a platform to run on. She...
By John & Nisha Whitehead Public trust in the government to “do what is right” understandably remains at an all-time low. After all, how do you trust a government that continuously sidesteps the Constitution and undermines our rights? You can’t. When you consider all the ways “we the people” are...
