With flu season at its peak in Illinois and the illness hitting levels not seen in in at least six years, the Kane County Health Department is advising that is not too late to get your flu shot. Flu vaccine is available at many pharmacies, grocery stores and health providers, the Kane County Health Department said in a release, adding that anyone 6 months and older should get a flu shot to protect themselves and their family against influenza. The flu season typically runs through May, with activity peaking in January and into February. This season, however, the spike began early — in December, according to health officials and Google.org’s Flu Trends, which boasts that it uses aggregated Google search data to estimate flu activity …

A bill sponsored in 2012 by state Sen. Kirk Dillard (R-Hinsdale) will prohibit sex offenders from participating in holiday events involving children as of Jan. 1.
An Illinois law effective Jan. 1 officially prohibits convicted sex offenders from participating in holiday events—from dressing up as Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny to handing out candy on Halloween. Offenders who break this law (SB 3579/PA 97-0699) could be subject to fines or revocation of their parole or probation, and could face additional jail time, according to a press release from state Sen. Kirk Dillard's office. “I do not believe child sex offenders should be given the opportunity to dress up and participate in a holiday event that caters directly to young children,” Dillard said in a statement. He said he sponsored the law in response to real incidents that occurred in Illinois where child sex offenders used holiday events as…

Now that we’ve taken a good look back, like the two-faced Roman god for whom our very first month is named, it’s time to focus on the future. As a result of that endeavor, listed in order of importance, here are the news stories I believe will grab Genevans’ attention in the onrushing 2013. 1. The mayoral race. Like the folks who watch NASCAR just to see the crashes, with two mercurial Genavans running, we’re all facing a similar temptation. But my fondest new year’s wish is that incumbent Kevin Burns and challenger Bob McQuillan will stick to the issues and avoid the mudslinging. As Karl Rove will readily attest, it’s starting to wear thin with the voters anyway. Either way, this race should prove to be an interesting proposition. …
