Herrin receives the former Dollar General Store at 101 S. Park Ave from Murray and Marlow families. The city transfers ownership to the chamber, which plans to stabilize the structure within three to five years and eventual refurbishment to benefit the community.
Nearly a century old building once owned by the Murray and Marlow families was donated to the city and then to the chamber of commerce. Plans call for a three to five year remodel with no decision yet on continuing the Herrin Festa Italiana art show at the site.
CDC survey of 13,600 high school students finds lifetime cocaine use rose to 9.4 percent from 5.9 in 1991 and past 30 day use at 4.2 percent, while injury behaviors fall and condom use rises to 58 percent. Seat belt use and refusal to ride with drunk drivers also increase.
Illinois Attorney General Jim Ryan pledged at a Statehouse news conference to keep the Pledge of Allegiance in schools despite a California court ruling banning recitation in public spaces. He argued a 1992 Chicago appellate decision may lead to Supreme Court review, framing the issue as a clash over rights and ritual in classrooms.
A day after a ruling declaring the Pledge of Allegiance unconstitutional, Circuit Judge Alfred T. Goodwin stayed the decision indefinitely awaiting 9th Circuit rehearing. Attorney General John Ashcroft said the Justice Department will seek an 11 judge panel to review the case and defend the pledge.
Nguyen and Parades voice disagreement with the court ruling on the pledge as church leaders and community members express concern over the decision. The ACLU defends the ruling citing Supreme Court precedents, while local officials and representatives vow to challenge it. Ceasar Maragni contributed to this report.
The Perry County Jail Museum fundraiser features vintage garments from the Ibendahl and Morris families including a sheer lace evening gown, a white lace nightie from circa 1900, flapper dresses, and a green felt hat.
