Mayor Moore recognizes life-saving firefighters
Four Kewanee firefighters were saluted Monday for saving the life of an ambulance patient.
During Monday’s City Council meeting, Mayor Gary Moore praised firefighters Andrew Welgat, Tim Doubek, Phil Esquer and Joe Rediger for their work to revive the patient.

For others, it suggests the exacting geometry of a Jacobian knot garden, maze of trimmed box hedge, gravel parterres or just a simple Victorian rose garden.
The thread that connects all these visions of the English garden is that they are places of repose and beauty. Mention of the topic is unlikely to conjure images of the late filmmaker Derek Jarman’s garden in Dungeness, stricken among rental allotments on the withering salt flats and shingle of the Thames Estuary. Jarman’s choice of recycled or requisitioned objects for his creation were locally sourced and included flint,
