HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Scott Deaner and Susie Reisenbigler donated $500 to On the Move with Parks and Recreation for the future Morrison Bark Park. Susie is a native of Morrison and now lives in Texas. They still receive the Whiteside News Sentinel and have read about people donating to the dog park. They come home to visit Susie’s parents, Sharon and Merle Reisenbigler, and bring their dog Reina with them and wanted to donate to the cause.

COVID-19 surge closes driver’s license facilities through Jan. 17 Driver’s license facilities are closed through Jan. 17 because of the surge in COVID-19 cases, Secretary of State Jesse White announced in a news release Wednesday. The closures affect all departments of the secretary of state. “The health and safety of employees and the public remains paramount, and face-to-face transactions potentially increase the further spread of the virus,” White said in the news release. Online services through ilsos.gov will remain open during the suspension, including renewing license plate stickers, renewing a license or ID cards, obtaining duplicate cards,
obtaining a driver record abstract or filing business services documents. The driver and vehicle services hotline will remain open at 800-2528980. People having issues with administrative hearings should email adminhearings@ilsos.gov or call 312-7933722. Previously, the secretary of state’s office had extended driver’s license and ID card expiration dates to March 31. The extension did not include commercial driver’s licenses and CDL learner permits. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has extended the federal REAL ID deadline to May 3, 2023.
