The U.S. population reflects continual changes

In spite of what a few still may think, space is a premium in newspapers. We want to reflect our Counties’ populations and be focused on our readers.

This space is happily providing photos of Mexican Independence and the celebration of Jewish New Year 5784, both in Aurora. We provide distribution well beyond both Aurora and Kane County to be useful, provide information, perhaps provocative, and to be of interest.

Populations in our communities adhere to many ethnicities, religions, races, practices, and beliefs. Our population reflects the diverse United States of America. We learn to live together, adhere to tolerance, and understand it has been many decades since the U.S. contained narrow practices and adherences. Those from other countries still understand the U.S. is a valuable place to live, work, grow, and prosper. Many seeking entrance to the U.S. have understood the benefit to be a part of our country. If only a few more of those living in the U.S. understood the positive values in the U.S. today, just as in previous decades and centuries.

Changes are part of the country continually, even though many residents think change is continual in many parts of our country. Seemingly slow changes are a companion with rapid changes. We just are less aware of changes because we do not quickly make quick changes. We adjust to changes.
