Carbondale Bids Edge City Contracts Drafted
Carbondale City Council approved a measure allowing local businesses to bid up to 2 percent or $2,000 higher than the lowest bid and still be deemed the lowest responsible bid for contracts over $10,000. The change excludes state or federal fund contracts and aims to keep money local. A bikeway plan was also reviewed, with short term road striping and signage and long term paths discussed.

The northern flicker appears in southern Illinois with other woodpeckers near Cedar Lake in Makanda Township. Florence Merriam’s 1889 work notes 36 names for the flicker, from yellow hammer to yellow-shafted woodpecker, plus decorative descriptors and calls that inspired imitations like clape and fiddler.
