Hillcrest should be a nice place to live. Obey the laws and ordinances. Keeping our bills as low as possible. Be a good neighbor. Go to Village meetings. They are held on the second Wednesday of the month. Always know what the Village Board is doing. President and Trustees. Know who the Board members are! … [Read more…]
An election is not “won” by a conqueror vanquishing their foes. They simply got more votes than the other person in an election. And always there are more people that didn’t vote than did. Every person living in Hillcrest is of equal importance. And nothing is more important than never taking your eyes off of … [Read more…]
“Why was I pulled over,” puffed out the bewildered driver. “You ran the stop sign,” said the stoic close to retirement police officer. “But I slowed down,” chanted the driver. “What’s the difference?” At which point the morality-based civil servant asked to see the driver’s cell phone. “I wasn’t on the … [Read more…]
Getting involved takes time and effort. But neither a lot of time nor too much effort in today’s world of technology.

If you live in Hillcrest, you should attend the monthly board meetings. Trustees (I am one) are proposing and voting on things that can cost you money, affect your property and home and can make things different for you and your family in a vote. Most of us had no idea that bringing in a … [Read more…]
A Hillcrest Trustee serves the people of Hillcrest. They do not serve business interests and dubious pharmacological movements. Or should I say “we” don’t serve those non-neighbor business factions. We monitor and oversee their involvement with the Village. “I” am afterall, a Village trustee. Duly sworn in even. To serve the people of Hillcrest. What … [Read more…]
STOP Signs are not a suggestion. “Stop” only has one definition. Cease moving and after a period of time, start moving again. It’s really simple math. Speeding and ignoring of STOP Signs in the Village is sickening. The worst kind of people run stop signs like they don’t exist. Sunday night last week I was … [Read more…]
Too many people are missing at the monthly meetings at the Village Hall. Held the second Wednesday of every month, it should be a packed house. Trustees and the Board President work FOR the people of Hillcrest. Not for special interests and businesses whose owners may not even live in Hillcrest. Much of what can happen at … [Read more…]
