High water delays LST 324 landing

HENRY — High water on the Illinois River has delayed the arrival of the LST 325 in Henry. Tours scheduled for Thursday and Friday (Aug. 30-31) will be rescheduled.

The LST is at the riverfront in downtown Peoria and open for tours. The ship may close Wednesday to give the crew a day off and reopen on Thursday until the ship is cleared by the U.S. Coast Guard to travel to Henry.

ELLSWORTH — The Ellsworth Labor Day celebration will take place from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday.

A pancake and sausage breakfast from 7 to 11 a.m. at United Methodist Church will start the day’s events. The parade will begin at 11 a.m. and proceed from the town park.

SETTING IT RIGHT

Opinion

Budget cuts — Gov. Rod Blagojevich cut about $463 million in spending on other projects to devote to his health plan. Sunday’s Pantagraph contained an incorrect figure.

Sports

CCHS golf — Jessica Koonce’s name was inadvertently omitted from the Central Catholic girls’ golf roster in Sunday’s Pantagraph. She is a sophomore.
