Wheaton write-in candidate sparks legal challenge
Updated Feb 6, 2013 4:18 PMIt wasn't enough to have Wheaton's electoral board remove Frank Garcia's name from the spring ballot. Officials now are seeking a court order to prevent the city council candidate from pursuing a write-in campaign. They say the step is necessary because Garcia failed to prove he's lived in Wheaton long enough to legally qualify to serve on the council. But Garcia is refusing to abandon his bid for an at-large seat against former Councilman John Prendiville.

- The Choral-aires Chorus placed second in the Community Teams category raising funds for breast cancer research last month, missing first place by only $25. The chorus raised $3,985 by the time the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure rolled around, with more donations still coming, surpassing their original goal of $3,000. The Choral-Aires has five current chorus members that either have, or have had, breast cancer.

While not a Chorus member, she is the daughter of long-time member Martha Anderson, who also walked with the team on race day. Lindsey Herza
