Letter to the Editor: I’m writing this letter to clarify some things. I am your City Clerk and have been for four years now. Did I become ill? Yes. Did my Deputy Clerk, who was appointed by me, have to step in and fulfill my duties while I was out? Yes. That is what is expected of any Deputy. My health was critical; I almost died twice. But did I ever forget about my job? No. When I got home from the hospital, all I did was work hard to get healthy so I could return to the office of the City Clerk. I was finally released to come back to work in January of 2024. I was so ready to get back to work. That first day of my return, I stayed the whole day and have not missed a day due to my health nor have I missed any Committee of the Whole or Council meetings. I do not view my prior illness as a weakness. I view my recovery as proof of my strength and resilience to get through, as this was the worst time of my life, but I’ve been back working at 100% since January 2024.

When you know how you’ll get home after the revelry ends, you – and those around you – are more likely to end the night safely with your luck intact. “Don’t push your luck this St. Patrick’s Day by driving impaired,” said Stephane B. Seck-Birhame, IDOT’s bureau chief of Safety Programs and Engineering. “Plan ahead for a safe celebration and don’t let anyone get behind the wheel if they’ve been drinking or using drugs. Take their keys away and make sure they have a safe ride home. It might be the difference between a memorable celebration or a tragedy that could have easily been avoided by making the right choice.”
