Winick Leaves Void in Knox County
A void has been left in Galesburg after the passing of local newspaper man and politician.

Norm Winick passed away last week after a battle with esophageal caner.
Winick, among other positions, was the chair of the Knox County Democratic Party.

Now, Vice Chair Louisa Buck, says the party will have to determine a new chair, which is a bit of unfamiliar territory.

"One would think that the vice chairs, either the three of them or just one of us, would take this over until,...Normally the chair is elected every two years. It was done last year so it would come up a year from now and I think in the mean time it would devolve on the vice chairs."

Memorial services for Winick are scheduled for Saturday at noon at Temple Sholom, with a celebration of life to following at Cherry Street Brewing.
