Monday afternoon, the State Bank of Lincoln unveiled their newest piece of 
Abraham Lincoln art, a 22-inch bronze likeness of a sculpture that will one day 
stand in life size on the Logan County Courthouse lawn. The new work of art is 
one of 30 that will be sold as a fundraiser for the larger version. Present for the unveiling were members of the statue committee. Pictured 
above, from left in front, are committee members JoAnne Marlin, Mary Ellen 
Martin, Bill Donath, State Bank President Steve Aughenbaugh, committee members 
Wanda Lee Rohlfs and Paul Gleason. In the back are committee members Chuck Conzo, Joe Mintjal, John Sutton and State Bank Vice President Dave Irwin. Committee member Roger Matson was unable to attend. Read more about the statue in the story below.

In 
this June 6 file photo, Sen. Mark Kirk, R-Ill., speaks during a Senate 
Appropriations subcommittee hearing in Washington. Sen. Kirk is making his first 
trip to central Illinois this week since his January 2012 stroke. Kirk's keynote 
appearance at Republican Day at the Illinois State Fair on Thursday will be his 
first major political event since he revealed his intention to run for 
re-election in 2016. Along with his appearance at the state fair, Kirk also will 
host a veterans' job fair in Peoria with Republican U.S. Rep. Aaron Schock on 
Wednesday.
