This is Roald Tweet on Rock Island. On the ninth of March in 1837, the Reverend John Brich, an itinerant Presbyterian minister from England, froze to death after his horse fell through the ice of a creek near the Rock Island County border. Reverend Brich hung his saddle bags on a tree and wandered two miles into adjacent Henry County before succumbing to the cold. Had it been the other way around, the American Bible Society may have been five hundred dollars richer, and Rock Island County may have had to settle for a wooden courthouse as was common in other frontier counties, rather than the ornate brick structure with imposing columns and a winding staircase to the second floor that graced Rock Island's courthouse square. Here's what happened.

The Henry County Board on Thursday night signed off on sending a letter to Governor J.B Pritzker regarding the new mitigation efforts that went into effect recently for restaurants and bars. In the letter, signed by Board Chairman Marshall Jones, the Henry County Board asks Governor J.B Pritzker to consider not having Henry County in Region 2 which shares a border with Iowa via Rock Island County. The letter doesn't state which Region the board would like Henry County to be part of, only stresses that including Henry County in this Region leaves it open to being kept in Tier 3 mitigation not because of numbers from Henry County but from counties that border a state with even higher COVID-19 numbers and fewer restrictions. The letter also asks the Governor to reconsider the mitigation efforts that have bars and restaurants closed to indoor dining. The letter alleges that there is no definitive link between indoor dining and drinking to the spread of COVID-19. The letter goes on to state that keeping bars and restaurants closed could cause those businesses to close permanently, costing jobs in the county and leading to devastating economic impact on all of Henry County. You can read the letter in full below, provided to WKEI by Henry County Board Chairman Marshall Jones who was our guest for our Noon Hour Show on Friday.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — To help the public show appreciation to the trucking industry during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Illinois Department of Transportation will coordinate with groups that want to provide free food to truckers. Events that meet and follow specific safety requirements will be held at select IDOT weigh stations throughout the state. “We are proud to offer our assistance in saying thank you to truckers and giving them some encouragement in their travels,” said Omer Osman, the state's acting transportation secretary. “All of us owe these men and women our gratitude for keeping the nation's supply chain moving, making sure food is winding up in our homes, and getting medical supplies and equipment to the people that need them most.” The events will be held only at weigh stations, with a maximum time limit of three hours for each event. Illinois Department of Public Health criteria for handling food and other safety guidelines, which can be viewed by clicking here, must be followed at all times. Events will not be held at rest areas. Scheduling will be coordinated by IDOT and the Illinois State Police. Requests by organizations wishing to distribute food must be received at least five days in advance. The following weigh stations will be available between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays: Interstate 55 southbound at Williamsville in Sangamon County; Interstate 57 northbound and southbound at Marion in Williamson County; Interstate 64 eastbound at O'Fallon in St. Clair County; Interstate 70 westbound at Marshall in Marshall County; Interstate 74 eastbound and westbound at Moline in Henry County; Interstate 80 eastbound and westbound at East Moline in Rock Island County; and Interstate 70 eastbound at Brownstown in Fayette County. For more information or to schedule a group's involvement, contact Keith Donovan, weight enforcement engineer, at keith.donovan@illinois.gov or 217-299-0934.
