On
Saturday morning, Logan County Democrats
celebrated the grand opening of the Democratic
election headquarters at 503 Woodlawn Road,
Lincoln.
Cutting the ribbon was Steve Waterworth,
candidate for 18th Congressional District
representative. Waterworth, a retired farmer from Easton, feels
the 18th District is not being served as well as
it was with Ray LaHood and that he can do the
job better.
To
the right of Waterworth is Rebecca Drake, just
returned from the national convention. Drake
said they would be walking precincts every
Saturday morning and manning
phone banks on Tuesday and Thursday evenings,
reminding people to vote or early vote, and
offering rides to the polls if needed. “We want
to get people energized to turn out to vote,”
she said.

Betty
Carlson Kay of Jacksonville was in Mount Pulaski on Saturday
with a presentation on women of the Civil War.
Here she is re-enacting the swearing in of Albert Cashier as a
soldier in the Illinois 95th Infantry. But Albert was
actually a young Irish girl named Jenny. Kay
said there were an estimated 300 to 400 women who disguised
themselves as men and fought in the Civil War on both sides.
