RUSHVILLE Schuyler County Health Department at 233 N. Congress St. is one of more than 100 new sites in the state that will administer COVID-19 vaccinations.
This month, 134 locations have been added to the list of vaccination sites open to the public. There are now 517 locations in Illinois, including local health departments, medical centers and hospitals, mass vaccination locations and retail pharmacies.
The state is partnering with some Hy-Vee, Walgreens and Walmart pharmacies to provide vaccinations.
The current phase of vaccination, Phase 1B, includes about 3.2 million people in Illinois. Vaccinations are available only by appointment at this time based on available supplies.

“That’s a beautiful shot,” someone might say. “What is it?”
“A dumpster,” replies Morse, who lives in Cumberland Center.
Once described as a boneyard hunter, Morse searches for beauty in the rust and patina of old cars, junked metal, steel and other materials. “I am interested in the vignette of things,” said Morse, who likes exploring junkyards with his camera. “I am looking more for composition and texture and less for subject matter.”

Let me be perfectly honest. When I first saw Mai Snow’s installation, “Green Flash,” in the window of Space (through Feb. 19), I couldn’t make heads or tails of it.
IF YOU GO
WHERE: Space, 538 Congress St., Portland; viewable from outside
WHEN: Through Feb. 19
I knew I mostly liked it for its color and boldness, but it bore no resemblance to any of Snow’s previous work. The eight paintings gathered here have a graphic, flat quality to them that was unlike the multiple gossamer-like layering of color and imagery I associated with Snow.

A proposal for a historic district that would have included hundreds of properties on Munjoy Hill was rejected by the Portland City Council Monday night, with councilors on both sides of the vote saying they are concerned about maintaining affordable housing and diversity in the neighborhood.
The council rejected the plan, 5-4, after more than two hours of public comment and discussion. Affordability and lack of access to housing for the city s working class, many of whom are Black and Brown immigrants, were at the heart of arguments on both sides of Monday s discussion.
Councilors opposed to the district said they didn t have enough information on the economic impact to vulnerable communities and on affordable housing to approve the proposal.
