While it seems like Beardstown citizens may need a GPS to get around town with all the streets closed due to construction of new pipes, there is an end in sight.
Public Works Director Gary Hamilton told Beardstown City Council Tuesday night that he is hopeful the construction will be completed the week of June 20, depending on weather and other unforeseen surprises. The city is appreciative of the community’s patience during this time.

Greetings Beardstown! Allow me to start by introducing myself. My name is CJ Monroe and I am the new Lead Pastor at First Christian Church here in Beardstown. I have served in full-time ministry for almost 15 years now, almost exclusively in youth ministry. Our family has been here for a little over a month now and are so excited for our new community we get to minister to. My hope and prayer with these articles, much like the others I have seen written in this column, is to inspire faith and remind you of the hope that can be found in Jesus. I believe that this hope is always so necessary, but especially when the world seems to get darker, hope can feel out of reach.
As we all know, the United States is in the midst of a bitterly contentious political campaign in which the presidency and control of Congress are in question. Analysts say that the United States faces graver threats to its national security than it has in decades, perhaps ever. War is raging in Europe and the Middle East; tensions are rising in Asia; tempers are flaring across America.

Every day is an adventure at Breaker Rock Beach from the morning waves crashing against the shore to evenings filled with bonfires and s’mores! Catch a glimpse of an orca leaping through the surf or watch happy sea lions playing among the rocks beneath magniicent pines. Race along the sand with your brightly colored kite, join friends to make the most amazing sandcastle, or gaze in wonder at the mysteries found in a glimmering tide pool. As the crowds come and go and the tides ebb and flow, Breaker Rock rises majestically as a symbol of strength, standing firm against the force of wind and waves.
