The demise of what our Founding Fathers conceived?
Wherever we live, our hometown of Kewanee included, there is a battle taking place for the soul of our country. Abraham Lincoln spoke in Kewanee in 1858 during his failed campaign for the Senate. If Lincoln were to speak in Kewanee today, he surely would have something to say about the current struggle. After all, he presided over the United States during the greatest divide our nation had ever faced.

Infrastructure Repairs on the Horizon in Tampico
Potential costly repairs to the village’s water and sewer systems were discussed at the Tampico Village Council meeting on Tuesday, October 20th. Public Works Superintendent Tyler Chriest reported receiving an insurance check for the storage shed at the sewage lagoon, which lost part of the roof in a severe storm in March. He noted that the shed is not in good condition because it gets hit by an irrigator in the summer, drifting snow in the winter, and the soft ground sometimes makes accessibility difficult. “It’s nice to have storage out there but the building is not in good shape,” he said, adding that they store barricades, sidewalk forms, attachments for the small tractor, and snowplows there during the summer months.
