WOOD RIVER - Wood River City Council members are moving forward with plans for a downtown dog park after accepting a $73,000 bid for concrete work on the project. Councilmen unanimously accepted a bid from Stutz Excavating, Inc. to perform concrete work for the Downtown Dog Park. The proposal from Stutz Excavating calls for 2,246 square feet of concrete sidewalk, 570 feet of concrete curb, and more at a total cost of $73,321. This amount was the lowest of three total bids received. Councilman Bill Dettmers said while he wasn’t sure building the dog park was “the right thing to do” for the city, his opinion on the matter has been swayed by a dog-owning constituent who emailed him in support of the project. “It’s not because I’m against dogs or anything like that, I’m just not 100% sure this is the right thing for the city to be doing, but I’m going to support it anyway,” he said.

Welcome to This Day in History! Today, we take a journey through time, exploring significant events that have shaped the world on January 7th. The Iranian Revolution: A Defining Moment in Modern History (1978) On January 7, 1978, a significant turning point occurred in Iran. The Iranian Revolution, which would eventually lead to the overthrow of the Pahlavi monarchy, began gaining momentum with the publication of an article in a Tehran newspaper. This article criticized Ayatollah Khomeini and called for the regime’s crackdown on dissent. The response was unprecedented; it sparked a series of protests that would culminate in the Islamic Revolution of 1979. The revolution was primarily fueled by a combination of political, social, and economic discontent. Many Iranians were frustrated with the westernization and secular policies of the Shah, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. Khomeini, who had been exiled, became the face of the opposition. His return to Iran in early 1979 marked
