November 21, 2023Dear editor; Mothers in prison rarely see their families. I find Jill McCorkel’s November 14 article, “Mothers in prison rarely see their families” puzzling.

October 22, 2023Dear editor; This opinion concerns media disinformation. With the escalation of disinformation, both political and social commentary, morphs into propaganda, while credibility plummets like a free-falling safe.

October 15, 2023Dear editor; Hooray for our young people! The Yorkville High School students who spoke up at the meeting of their school board September 25 protesting the four members of the boards’ decision to summarily remove a text from their English class had a great civics lesson. They learned
October 5, 2023Dear editor; In his letter to president Joe Biden, governor JB Pritzker complained about the refugees being bussed to Chicago from Texas and how federal aid hasn’t kept up.
