Grandpa says: Just a couple of reminders. When resetting your clocks Saturday night, don’t forget to put new batteries into your smoke detectors and CO detectors. Tuesday is election day so get out and vote! Voting is more than a privilege, it is a responsibility. Grandpa, I have lived in
October 21, 2018 Dear editor; Is my voice strong? I hope so, because I have something to say. I had permission to put up a large Lauren Underwood sign on a prominent corner in Oswego. Hardly two days later that sign was gone. When I talked to the owner who
October 5, 2018 Dear editor; Columnist John W. Whitehead’s reminder of what citizens’ rights are protected by the amendments to the U.S. Constitution in his column September 27, in The Voice was appreciated. It cast light on where these amendments are losing their punch. Seeing it in print reminds me
Grandpa says: Beloved readers, Wednesday, Oct. 31 will be Halloween Day. Many communities have various ordinances about trick or treating. Please check the The Voice to know what each community is doing. Drivers must beware of the little hobgoblins and humanoids foraging through the neighborhoods. Parents and guardians, should make
The group Mothers Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, applaud a unanimous decision to oppose arming school administrators and teachers Monday at the Naperville School District 203 School Board meeting.

October 9, 2018 Dear editor; An open response to Ms Joan Solms: I have been following for years your rants in the Reader’s Voice section of The Voice. At first your letters were cute and appeared harmless. Lately, however, I am becoming concerned for you. You sound as if you
October 8, 2018 Dear editor; After the U.S. Senate Judicial Committee’s inquiry into sexual assault charge brought by Christine Blasey Ford against Brett Kavanaugh, every woman who feels threatened and is qualified, should get a concealed carry permit.

Grandpa, I take exception to your answer to the guy who said it is wrong to fly the flag on the back of a truck (Ask Grandpa, The Voice, August 30.) You said a tattered flag is a sign of the struggle for freedom. What are you, some kind of
September 29, 2018 Dear editor; Don’t you feel sorry for poor J.B. Pritzker? He lost his father when he was very young, and his mother was an alcoholic. Boohoo. My mother was 31 and two-weeks old, when my father died after surgery. My mother had two young girls to raise.
It’s a done deal. Brett Kavanaugh has been awarded a seat on the U.S. Supreme Court. Now there are two justices who sit under a black cloud of suspicion. It can’t get any worse than this, can it? The nomination of Judge Kavanaugh was the most contentious in American history.
Grandpa, If you publish this letter, do not use my name! Under that condition, I will be up front. I need a way to convince a (person) who owes me money to pay up. I was in a car accident with an uninsured motorist. I was backing out of a

Grandpa, My little sister passed away recently. She was in her 60s. My daughter, in her late 30s, did not attend the funeral. She had a social club meeting that day. She is not an officer of the club, she holds no position there other than a standard membership. I
September 15, 2018 Dear editor; In recent weeks, more than a few syndicated columnists bluntly have asked “Will Americans vote socialism this November?” But, with all major media voices firmly in the liberal socialist fold, all the American people get to hear and read is that particular political vein. Conservative
By Chris Lauzen – On behalf of Kane County taxpayers, a dozen of whom came to voice their disapproval at the September 13 Kane County Judicial and Public Safety Committee meeting, I ask two questions of Kane County State’s attorney Joe McMahon: • Who is paying for the two-year-old prosecution
