One of the keys, according to Jarel, is structure, providing a framework, a schedule to keep, in order help a child remain focused on learning and positive mental attitudes.

The Kewanee City Council met on Monday night and approved nearly everything on the agenda via a unanimous vote.

But first, the Mayor addressed the storm situation in Kewanee. Following the massive wind storm that knocked over trees and knocked out power around Kewanee, the Mayor tells WKEI that extra days for pick up of debris will be added to the City of Kewanee pick up calendar.

The Henry and Stark County Health Department recorded 21 more positive tests for COVID-19 over the second weekend of August. That brings the total for the month to more than 40 already, just 11 days into August. RaeAnn Tucker joined WKEI to go over the latest numbers and to promote the use of masks. Mask wearing may not be fun but it keeps COVID-19 from spreading via the droplets that come out of your mouth when you speak or breathe or especially if you cough or sneeze. Your mask isn't about protecting you as much as it is about protecting others by keeping potentially infected droplets confined to masks as opposed to constantly landing on common touch surfaces where they can be picked up and infect someone else.
