Kilquist ends certain nonemergency dispatch services
The Jackson County Ambulance Service and county board members react to Sheriff Bill Kilquist's Nov. 27 letter announcing the sheriff's office will stop providing long-distance and wheelchair van transfer dispatching beginning Jan. 1. Kilquist says the extra duties burden the dispatch center though the service previously paid 5,833 dollars monthly. The duties, he notes, should fall under other authorities.

Egyptian Key and Trail of Tears Markers In Southern Illinois
The article traces Southern Illinois history from the Cherokee forced march of 1838-39 to the Trail of Tears State Forest near Jonesboro. It highlights Will Griffith’s Egyptian Key magazine launched in 1943 with features on local history and notable Egypt identifications, contrasting Little Egypt’s misnomer with a strong regional identity. It notes marker sites along Illinois 146, and cites the 1835 Cherokee census and the phrase Never Little.
