Social Security: Changes needed

Submitted by admin on Wed, 11/09/2016 - 10:51am

It’s been good news, bad news for those who qualify for Social Security benefits.
The good news: recipients received an increase in their benefit. The bad news: the average raise amounts to $5 per month.
A $5 per month increase is almost an insult to those who have paid into the system and worked hard all their lives and expect to reap the benefits of their endeavors. It’s like tipping a waitress a nickel for two hours of excellent service in a busy restaurant.


Lunch issues on GSL board agenda

Submitted by admin on Wed, 11/09/2016 - 10:39am

To the Editor:
It appears that there are concerns and/or issues with the lunch program/process at the various schools within the Glencoe-Silver Lake School District, including, but not limited to, there not being enough time given to the students to sufficiently eat a healthy, nutritious meal. Unfortunately, many parents may not actually be aware of the whole process that the kids must go through before they are able to sit down and begin eating.

Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Rejoice, Christmas has come early to the citizens of Glencoe. We have a new street in town just in time for Heat in the Street … 2017.
The new block of Judd Avenue connecting busy 10th Street with the not-as-busy 11th Street now has its first layer of blacktop as of last week. And it only took an additional three months to complete.
