Dr. T. P. (Doc) Haas, DDS, was smoked out of his Kewanee office this past week by a boiler explosion. Undaunted, Doc Haas was open the next day for business as usual in his former Wyoming office, located at 109 West Williams.
Dr. Haas is seeing patients in Wyoming on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 until 5 each day.
The explosion in the Kewanee Medical Arts Building caused extensive smoke damage to Dr. Haas’s office.
There is a bit of a tradition for opening the day following a fire or explosion. The great merchant Marshal Field opened up again for business the day after the great Chicago Fire of 1871. Closer to home, pharmacist Pete Johnson of Wyoming was open the day after his store burned several years ago.

Radon levels high in Stark
Written by Amy Beaver
Wednesday, 03 March 2010 09:53
 During recent years there has been an increasing awareness about radon. January was declared radon month and the federal government has passed several laws regulating information about radon. On the television news, Stark was rated one of counties in Illinois with the highest levels of radon. What is radon? Radon is a radioactive gas that causes lung cancer. The Surgeon General lists radon as the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, but is the leading killer of lung cancer among non-smokers. Radon is also colorless, odorless and tasteless, so is not always detectable to human senses.

Stark Sheriff requests livestock registration
Written by Administrator
Wednesday, 03 March 2010 09:52
 The Sheriff’s office of Stark County has a request for all owners of livestock in the area. Owners are asked to contact the Sheriff’s Office and give contact information, in the event the officers need to find the owner of loose livestock or animal. This information should be both for daytime or nighttime hours, in case the owner is out of town or at work during the call. The information you give will not be shared and will only be used for law enforcement purposes. Due to the limited amount of police and sheriff’s officers on duty, loose livestock become a double danger to the public.
