PRIDE Industries Achieves ITAR Registered Manufacturer Status
PRIDE Industries is pleased to announce that it has achieved International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) registration through the Office of Defense Trade Controls Compliance. ITAR is the U.S. regulation that controls the sale, manufacture, and distribution of defense and space-related services and materials included on the United States Munitions List (USML). It governs the export of defense and military-related technologies to safeguard U.S. national security.
ITAR registration allows PRIDE to expand its kitting, manufacturing, supply chain, and distribution services to Aerospace, Defense, and Federal customers. Specifically, PRIDE will offer printed circuit board assemblies, wire/harness assemblies, mechanical assembly services, and kitting solutions while remaining compliant with the strictest requirements for national security.
Welcome to the battle of Rocky Colavito and Lonnie Chisenhall.
There was no doubt that Chisenhall and Colavito would take the top two spots of this list, but determining who would be No. 1 was a challenge. Putting Chisenhall on top does not take away from Colavito s four-homer game (we ll get to this shortly), but Chisenhall’s five-hit, three-homer, nine-RBI performance gives him the slightest of all edges in this race.
Chisenhall’s nine RBIs matched a club record set by Chris James in 1991, and he became the first big leaguer in at least 100 years to collect at least three homers, five hits and nine RBIs without recording an out. He was just the fourth hitter to have at least that many home runs, hits and RBIs in a single game. Both Scooter Gennett and Anthony Rendon have since joined that list.

For the Star Courier
Its official! The subject, the location, the time, the artists and potential fundraising for Kewanee’s 20th Walldog historical mural are set.
As previously announced, the subject will be the Walworth Manufacturing Company and its predecessors, which started very small in 1868 and reached huge proportions in the 1900s before coming to an end in Kewanee in 1978.
The location, according to Dianne Packee, the Walldog Mural Committee chairwoman, will be the east side of the City of Kewanee’s maintenance building located in the 500 block of North Main Street. The City Council gave its approval at a recent council meeting.
