Warsaw Library holds tales of history
Warsaw’s dynamic history dates back to around the time of the War of 1812 when Fort Edwards, commanded by future American president Zachary Taylor, was built; to be more exact in 1814, on a bluff overlooking the Mighty Mississippi River in western Illinois, which was on the frontier of the United States at the time. When the militant Sauk chief Black Hawk clashed with white settlers in what became known as the Black Hawk Wars, he and his warriors were eventually defeated.

North end memories
The neighborhood on Springfield’s northeast side, just north of the one where African Americans lived before it was destroyed in the infamous Race Riot of 1908, was at its peak during the 1950s and early 1960s. It consisted mostly of Italian-Americans who owned businesses there, such as Coco Randazzo’s tavern, Coco’s Inn.
Warsaw House/Hotel & Fleming Tavern slated to open for guests by the end of this year

As winter fades the morels will soon pop
Gazing through the frosty glass my eyes became fixed on winter’s gray gloom. Beyond the snow-crusted stubbles of yesterday’s corn, black naked trees clawed at the sky desperate for the sun.

In wake of Rogers assault we must recommit to inclusion: Guest View
GUEST Dan Glenning and Mike Shepherd Special to The Newport Daily News The horrifying assault of a student with disabilities at Rogers High School is heartbreaking and deeply troubling.

In wake of Rogers assault we must recommit to inclusion: Guest View
The horrifying assault of a student with disabilities at Rogers High School is heartbreaking and deeply troubling. While accountability is essential, this moment must also prompt us – as a community – to reflect on how we support, include and value people with disabilities in our schools and across Newport County. It is too easy for people with disabilities to not be seen as peers but as “others.” That separation creates environments where disrespect, exclusion and even harm can take root.

Remember U.S. Grant of Illinois
Being a veteran of the infamous siege of Khe Sanh in the Vietnam War in 1968, I could relate somewhat to the siege that occurred at Vicksburg, Mississippi, in 1862 during America's Civil War, when the Confederate defenders of the hilly Mississippi River town came under siege by Union forces led by General Ulysses S. Grant. Grant was born 203 years ago this week, April 27, 1822.

Geode Glen expansion brings back memories
WARSAW, Ill. – As a Warsaw native, the recent announcement that the city’s park board is expanding Geode Glen Park brought back some fond, and not so fond, memories of when I was a boy and I skinny-dipped there with other boys, in a deep pool of water we jumped into from a modestly high waterfall that continuously kept it full. In essence, the pool served as a reservoir, and when it overflowed, the excess water poured downstream toward the Mississippi River.
