MARYVILLE, Ill. — Maryville Mayor Wayne White has addressed resident concerns regarding the condition of certain properties with high weeds, abandoned vehicles, trash and other unsightly items in and around the Village of Maryville. White acknowledged that several problematic properties are located just outside the Maryville village limits and fall under the jurisdiction of Madison County. Because those properties are not within the village boundaries, Maryville does not have the legal authority to enforce its codes or issue citations. “Please know we are not ignoring the problem,” White said in a statement. “The Village Administration is actively and aggressively working to address these concerns. We are in communication with Madison County officials and are pressing for enforcement action on their part. We have also contacted the property owners directly and, in some cases, met with them in person to encourage compliance and cleanup.” Within th

We all know some men who’d rather fight off sharks than deal with issues that affect their health. They don’t like talking about it, they put symptoms on the back burner, and they don’t see a health care provider unless it’s at the urging of a persistent wife who might schedule the appointment. According to Ben Guth, an advanced practice nurse with OSF HealthCare, the reasons for putting off medical care vary. For some men, they’re too busy working to find the time to book, for example, an eye exam or dentist appointment. Some are willing to wait out a nagging pain or a lingering headache. And for others it’s simply a case of “‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.’” “Men will often tell me, ‘I don't have any problems. Everything feels fine. I don't need to see you,’” Guth says. “Unfortunately, all issues won't really present as a symptom until they're in the more moderate to severe stages.”

WASHINGTON – Today, U.S. Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL), Ranking Member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, delivered a speech on the Senate floor denouncing the nomination of Emil Bove to serve as a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. In his remarks, Durbin summarized Mr. Bove’s disqualifying record, from ordering the dismissal of career federal prosecutors who worked on January 6 cases to striking a corrupt deal with New York City Mayor Eric Adams to further President Trump’s extremist agenda. Three whistleblowers have come forward with credible allegations of Mr. Bove’s disqualifying conduct, including his suggestion that the Trump Administration is not required to comply with federal court orders. “He came and answered a questionnaire, as he should, for the White House as well as for the Judiciary Committee and then appeared before us under oath and answered questions. What was unusual about this situation is tha
