A Sugar Grove village trustee candidate who has been kicked off the spring ballot says she intends to run as a write-in.
And another candidate announced Monday that he is withdrawing from the race.
Rachel Rockwell said she will seek write-in votes in her bid for one of three 4-year seats on the village board.

Emulating a disembodied voice, the theremin s potential was soon realized in America s burgeoning film industry, where it was regularly employed to accompany the supernatural and extraterrestrial a flying saucer, a ray gun, an alien creature, and all sorts of other phenomena in black-and-white B movies of the 1950s. Beyond that niche, the theremin also found a place albeit marginally in classical and popular music.
Robert Moog was the first to mass-produce the theremin, which then inspired him to create his now iconic line of synthesizers. Moog died in 2005, but his company, Moog Music, continues producing synthesizers and theremins to this day.
