		This photo 
		taken last September includes Best Western owner Paresh Patel 
		on the far left, Geoff Ladd of the Abraham Lincoln Tourism Bureau of Logan County 
		on the far right, Lincoln Mayor Keith Snyder, Darlene Begolka of the Railsplitter organization 
		and three members of the Logan County Mounted Police. The patrol was 
		presenting benches to the tourism bureau so that visitors at the 
		wagon site can have a nice spot to sit a spell. It is estimated the wagon 
		is one of the bureau’s most popular Lincoln attractions, with 
		approximately 1,500 visitors stopping there each month. The future of 
		the tourism bureau has been a hot topic recently. At the city council 
		meeting Tuesday evening, it 
		was discussed at length by the tourism board and  
		council. Read more about this in the story below.

			Hazelwood, Mo., firefighters gather 
			outside a storm-damaged home as they make 
			a plan to enter and retrieve medicine for a resident who escaped the 
			home on Wednesday. Butch Dye, a hydrometeorological 
			technician with the National Weather Service in St. Louis, Mo., said 
			severe weather struck the suburb of Hazelwood. "We won't be able to 
			confirm whether it was a tornado until teams get out there 
			tomorrow," Dye said.

In 
this circa 1980s black-and-white photo, Dick Hoyt, rear, pushes his son, Rick, as 
they compete in the Boston Marathon, passing along Heartbreak Hill in Newton, 
Mass. Dick has pushed Rick, who has cerebral palsy and is a quadriplegic, in a 
specially designed wheelchair along the 26.2-mile marathon route for more than 
30 years. They plan to compete again in the race Monday.
