LDN -- Top Stories

The latest project at the Logan County Airport is nearing completion. All of the runway lights and taxiway lights have been replaced. The taxiway lights are LED. The remaining parts of the project are the replacement of the rotating beacon with an updated model and installation of a new airfield windsock with lighting that will make the windsock visible from the air at night. The engineer on the project is Hanson Professional Services of Springfield. The general contractor is J.F. Edwards Construction of Geneseo. It is estimated the project will be completed by the end of January, weather permitting.

A view of the front of a damaged building of a court complex after an explosion in the district of Imbaba, north of Cairo, Egypt, on Tuesday. An explosion was heard in Cairo just before voting was due to begin, security sources said. There were no early reports of casualties. Egyptians began voting Tuesday in a constitutional referendum, the first ballot since the military overthrew Islamist President Mohamed Mursi and an event likely to spawn a presidential bid by the army chief, Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Sisi.
