Some Catholics reacted with shock Monday as Pope Benedict XVI announced his plans to resign on Feb. 28, 2013.

Read: Pope Benedict to Resign With his announcement, Benedict becomes the first pope to resign in nearly 600 years.

Several cul-de-sac residents have complained about the recent snowfall not being removed from their street.
Oswego saw its first real snowfall over the weekend. Not everyone, notably cul-de-sac residents, were all too happy about it. Or rather they weren’t happy with the removal of it. Earlier in the year the Village approved a contract with Forest View Landscaping to specifically plow all of the Oswego cul-de-sacs during occasions determined by Public Works. Previously the contract only extended to some cul-de-sacs. Public Works director Jerry Weaver said the main purpose of the contract was to provide plowing services to cul-de-sac residents in a timely fashion when the need arose. Village president Brian LeClercq clarified for the board that in the case of a major snowfall the Village first takes care of all main roads. “But in order to …

Oswego Community Development Director Rod Zenner said the site that Speedway is looking at is two-thirds in Oswego and one-third in Aurora. Village officials have had several meetings with counterparts in Aurora, said Zenner, and they’re in discussion to have the back third annexed to the Village of Oswego. In exchange, Aurora would be looking for revenue sharing with Oswego. Aurora officials have also said they do not want gasoline pumps to be installed on Aurora land, said Zenner. The city also doesn't allow alcohol sales in gas stations, so Oswego would collect …
